#76 - Be Still and Shine: Shining Light Into the World | No. 9 Be Still: A Summer of Meditation

In this tender and illuminating episode, we're exploring what it means to live from your center and shine your light — even when it feels small. Drawing from the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world," we'll look at three kinds of light we're invited to be in the world: lower lights, luminaries, and lighthouses. Each serves a sacred purpose — including yours. You'll hear the moving backstory behind the beloved hymn "Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy" and learn why the "lower lights" matter more than we realize — especially for women in midlife who might feel like their light is dim or overlooked. We'll also transition into a guided meditation inspired by questions that invite you to reconnect with your true light: 💭 What kind of light are you being right now? 💭 Who has been a lower light for you? 💭 Where are you being invited to shine — even if it's uncomfortable? This is more than a conversation — it's an invitation to trust your light, just as it is. To reflect divine Light. To remember: someone is watching for your glow to find their way home. 💌 Loved this episode? Send it to a friend who's been a light in your life.
