Choose to Shine
If thou indeed derive thy light from heaven, then to the measure of that heaven-born light, SHINE! …in thy place, and be content.
– William Wordsworth
We were all meant to shine.
But…what does that MEAN?! To shine…to illuminate. To lighten, or brighten. To add light, shine, glow.

“Shine” has been my word for 2013 so I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us with your series! For me, part of shining this year was to start a blog a few months ago. I’m nervously stepping out with this 31 day series. It could be a very long month! I love your button!
Such a great word isn’t it? Thank you so much for stopping by! I’ll be sure to head upur direction, too!
What a great concept. I wish I found you site earlier. We all need a little light in our lives.
Thanks for stopping by!
