The Power of the Word “Yet”

There is power in using the word, “yet”, when struggling to navigate our healing journey. Yet is the antidote of fear. I don’t know yet, keeps the door open to answers and help.

Welcome

Like many of you, I have looked at the devastating effects of severe trauma and had to ask “Do I let the dark swallow me whole and destroy me or do I hold on to the light and find a way to move forward?” Build on the Light is about making the choice to find and own the good in our lives. It is not about ignoring or not acknowledging the pain of the bad, but about choosing which to build on. I know that regardless of the pains and heartache we are called to go through, all of us can find light and hope and ultimately thrive in the life that is uniquely our own.
