There are a lot of ways our contemporary world can show us the dark, the dim, and the dreadful. Some of us have to look no further than our own feed.

I talk with people everyday who are going through dark times, feeling gloomy, or noticing worries starting to dim their life glow.

Look for what you want to see rather than what the world shoves in your face.

Look for the light, you might just find it.
