-When the sun rises-

Hi beautiful, it’s me. Your soul speaking. Today is an important day. It’s the one you have been waiting for. And maybe it isn’t just this day, maybe it is a combination of days, weeks, months, moments, or opportunities. But no matter where you fall on the spectrum, you need to stop here in this moment. You need to take it in. You need to remember this moment. The sun is ready to rise in your life. The more important question...will you let it.

You see, the sun is constantly rising and setting. Every single day. Literally, not a day goes by where there isn’t daylight. And it’s the same for the flip side. Not a day goes by where there isn’t some time when the sun is away and darkness sets in. It’s scary though how sometimes we only see ourselves or our life in those dark times. We might see the daylight, or know that it is there, but for whatever reason we don’t allow ourselves to feel the warmth and the love it brings. We remove ourselves from any and all opportunity to feel the good. To accept the good. To be worthy of the good. I know this isn’t easy and I know especially right now there is a lot of unknown and dark times, but every single day the sun rises in your life. And if you embrace it, if you look for it, and if you allow your soul to feel it, soon you see just how bright your life is.

So how do we do this? Well, patience and practice. That’s a good first step. In times of stress and uncertainty it is our human nature to think negatively. We get insecure, nervous, anxious, and stressed. We allow our inner demons to lead us and guide us to what they want us to see, think, and feel. And until we retrain our brain, anything that isn’t clean cut and crystal clear....we won’t see. So we have to start by retraining our brains. We do this by taking in every moment. Analyzing our feelings at different parts of the day. Learning to acknowledge our weak points and our stressors. And once we do that...then we start to think of how that moment, that weakness or anxiety, is a good thing. How are our flaws beautiful? How can we make them shine?? I have been through a lot in the past few years and believe me when I say I can remember a lot of dark times. But I can also remember a conversation with a good TORQUE friend of mine. She said, “ya know the moon gives off light for a reason”. It’s the universe telling us that even in the bad, their is good. And even in the dark, there is light.

Life right now is tough. Point blank. And it has been for months. Some of us have figured it out. Some of us have not. And guess what, both are okay and both will probably change again 5 more times until we have reached the point where our sun is truly shining. But the main point here is each day you wake up with the opportunity to find the good. I can’t tell you how important and life changing it can be in the darkest of times to recognize that it isn’t all bad. Those moments that we recognize as being light, they are the glimmers of hope that we need. And soon, they become brighter and brighter. The more we train our brain to see the good in all things, the more we are able to see the sun rising in our lives.

So no matter where you are in life, know there is light. If you’re heart is beating, there is light. If your home is safe, there is light. If you’re fridge is full, there is light. If you love and are loved, there is light. Don’t allow darkness to steal the light from the things you are surround by daily. Let those things, outshine it all. Be patient. Be positive. And let it happen. Soon, your life will be radiating and so will you.

The sun will rise. It’ll be alright. I promise.
