Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. Well, it's busy, busy, busy with the holiday season in full swing as we try to prepare and get ready.

And one of our favorite traditions in my family growing up was driving to see Christmas lights, to see holiday lights around our neighborhood.

I grew up on a farm in southwest Iowa, and once we drove about 45 minutes away, and I remember the cars were lined up for two

miles to see a farm property that had just thousands and thousands of lights. They decorated

tractors and fences in their barns and their houses and so many things.

It was just amazing. And I've never forgotten that. And I want to talk a little bit in this happy

bit about light. Part of what we're doing as women who are seeking happiness and seeking greater

light and meaning is filling our souls with that light. So a fun and kind of

simple challenge that fits in well with this holiday time of year. I want to challenge you to

notice all the light around you physically and otherwise. Let's start with physically. Look at the

light available in each room and try to appreciate it.

Sunlight coming through the window. Lights from a light bulb. Maybe you do drive somewhere and notice

some Christmas lights. And then while you're getting out of your car, you see lights from a star.

And then the next day you might see lights from the sunrise do you see how beautiful

it can be just to focus on one thing and really let that touch your soul then expand it a little

and think about the light that you can feel spiritually or otherwise throughout this week.

Maybe when you're with a certain friend, you leave feeling completely uplifted.

Or maybe you have a spiritual experience through meditation or prayer or at a church service.

Maybe you're walking outside and you just feel a little lighter inside from the activity and the exercise.

There's so many opportunities to focus on light this week. Well, this is going to be a lot of fun.

I would love to hear what you've learned. Join me in the Vibrant Happy Women Facebook group.
