Authentic Shine

My authenticity shines brightly today.

My word for this year is "Shine."  At first I thought I would have a great breakthrough and everything (or almost everything) would sparkle and glisten.


I'm finding a deeper twist on the word. 
I'm finding that authenticity has the power to outshine everything else.


I shine when I am truly present.
I'm beaming when I recognize that I am enough.
I am shining when my internal messiness seeps out around the edges.
There is a glow around me when I'm not trying to be someone else. {Or teach like someone else or dress like someone else or parent like someone else or create art like someone else.}


I'm learning how to sit with my authentic self, even when I'm blinded by the white heat of it all.


This little light of mine,  I'm gonna' let it shine.


Please join me!  
When does your authenticity shine brightly?
