Focusing your energy on all things light and love is great, but no matter how hard we try, we can’t neglect the shadow side. It’s a true opportunity for growth and expansion. That’s why every person in your life is a mirror. Each brings unhealed parts of YOU into YOUR conscious awareness. Giving you an opportunity to see things in a different light. Each shepherding you into a new level of evolution to breakthrough old beliefs and patterns.

What are they unconsciously illuminating for you? I just love perspective, C
