Holiday Lights of Hope

Holiday Lights of Hope

Stacy Hawkins Adams

As we enter the 2016 holiday season and race toward a New Year, here's a question for you: In what area of life do you most need inspiration or encouragement, right now and in the year to come?? Think on this for your growth and wellbeing, then comment in the section below and let me know. I'd love to serve your need with my writing in the months ahead.

In the meantime, wherever you find yourself during the coming weeks, I encourage you to.... Appreciate each moment. Nurture yourself. Celebrate those you love and pour new life into your dreams.

Acknowledge life's realities - both good and not so good; then remember who you are and Whose you are, in the midst of it all. Stand in that truth. Honor that truth. Be that truth.

On the days you don't feel like going on, find a way to push through... To hope, To love, To the purpose only you can birth. Find the courage to be still and listen to your heart, and to embrace words and voices that empower you, regardless of what may be shaking the world around you. Breathe and Be, and allow others to do the same. Trust that good will prevail, especially when you offer up your own goodness. It matters.

Forgive yourself and forgive others, too. Be patient with heartache. Grant grief some time. Trust that wholeness is within your reach. Seek the Light and Be the Light. This, My Friend, is the Greatest Gift you can give to yourself, which ultimately becomes your Greatest Gift to others - during Christmas, Hanukkah, the beginning of a New Year, and every day in between and beyond.
