This little angel has had the answer all along, sitting unassumingly among my books. 

For years, I’ve heard the call to shine bright. To use my light. I’ve been told to step into my power and quit playing small. To quit dimming my light so others can shine. To be the angel I am. I’ve felt the pull on my heart but didn’t know what to do. I still don’t, but I can no longer ignore the signs.

Yesterday started in my favorite way—watching the sun rise. The message came through from a friend to “Be you. The world will adjust.” And from our conversation on the struggle, the reminder to journal and meditate to get through. I do this daily but this time, I decided to go into the Akashic Records and ask how to shine my light and serve others. Although nothing much came from my questions, the feeling was magic, and I recorded the following messages: 

Remember your light. 

You were born to shine. 

There are angels among us. 

All beautiful messages I’d heard before, but they didn’t seem all that special. It wasn’t until I googled “remember your light” that the message truly landed. In my search, I came across “Let your light shine” (Matthew 5:16) and immediately grabbed my angel, remembering there was a Bible verse written on it. Sure enough, printed in black Sharpie on the back is Matt. 5:16. 

I still don’t have the answers. I don’t know the “what” or the “how,” but I do know I will do my best to continue showing up as an angel in light and truth. 

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16, NIV).
