\u201cDarkness may reign in a cave for thousands of years, but bring in the light, and the darkness vanishes as though it had never been. Similarly, no matter what your defects, they are yours no longer when you bring in the light of goodness.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
\nParamahansa Yogananda<\/p>\n

We live in an incredible world of great wonders.\u00a0 Even now, with all of the challenges and turmoil, with darkness, evil and greed, the LIGHT is still here.\u00a0 It illuminates the darkness and transforms the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Light or Darkness, Good or Evil, Health or Disease, Love or Hate, Failure or Success.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Every moment is a choice and opportunity for goodness and love.\u00a0 There is a way in each situation, circumstance or relationship to let your light shine.\u00a0 It is the Power of Truth, it is the Power of Acknowledgement.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are people around you right now who need your love and your light.\u00a0 Kindness is a language the whole world understands.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is available every moment and you have the power and the freedom to choose it. <\/span><\/p>\n

The world is moving at such a fast pace, let’s be here in the moment and let our light shine fully.\u00a0 The light of awareness, the light of love and the light of God is within each of us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!<\/span><\/p>\n

smiles,<\/span>
