What is my “true” purpose? I have often wondered.  

Helping others was always at the forefront of my mind - something I believe stems from the culture in which I was raised and the community that surrounded me. When early adulthood came, my focus was to be free and live life!!  I am still very much that way, though a little more tame (some may beg to differ).

So much of my life has been wrapped around and focused on my own situations.  During those moments in my life, I wasn’t sure how to help myself, let alone others. 

It was through the help of others that I was able to find strength. 

For without them, I would not be who I am. 

Without them, I would be lost. 

Without them, I would not have found my purpose. 

They are my “soul shines”.

This space is my way of sharing my stories, reflections, and a reminder that those little moments aren’t so little. Pay attention. My hope is that somewhere in my words, you will find reminders of your own strength and the light that is there waiting to shine through.

In turn, I hope it also reminds you to be a soul shine for others.
