"You have shown me the light of a storyteller that was hidden in me"

So today, let your light shine. Here we go. This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine and shine it bright and glow from within me.
Make my own needs and wants priorities.
Make time for the things I love to do, even if they feel silly, or superficial, or extravagant. If it’s within my means to do it and it doesn’t hurt anyone, don’t worry about justifying–just enjoy!
Use my gifts and talents in the way I want to use them–not the way I think I should. Speak directly from heart, without fear of reproach.
 If I believe in something, stand behind it, even if I stand alone.
 Keep my heart open to the world around me so I can be moved and inspired–and then use that internal illumination to create something that will move and inspire the people around me. 
 So here’s to me letting my light shine before others?? You offer hope when there is none. You offer encouragement when it is needed most. You offer kindness despite being surrounded by hate. You offer compassion in a world that cares about the bottom line. You offer patience when you’re met with impatience. You offer to pick up another, dust them off, give them a hand, so they can regain their light and glow.
Play. Laugh. Love. Leap. And remember that you have nothing to prove. There’s nothing you have to do, and there’s no one you have to be other than exactly who you are, because who you are is beautiful. Who you are is full of light–and the world deserves to see it.
Thanks to Lisa, oh my Lisa… you are truly a light in this darkness of world. You have shown me the light of a storyteller that was hidden in me and how to be unique ME and there is no one repeatable like me. I am a miracle and no one can do better than me. Thanku Lisa. 
 Love
