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 how to find and own the good in our lives in spite of the trauma we've endured. We can find light and hope and ultimately thrive in the life that is uniquely our own.

Embracing Womanhood: Healing Mother’s Day Heartache
Mother’s Day can be a dagger-filled time for many. Healing our Mother’s Day heartache and learning to embrace our womanhood can seem impossible. Some women who long for children wonder why their hopes are unfulfilled. For others, the joy of having children is haunted by guilt for not measuring up to a mythical standard. And for some, never knowing their own mother’s love leaves a hole that is hard to fill. I have found comfort in the truth that motherhood is really about womanhood. It’s not about bearing children so much as it is about nurturing and lifting others while being true to ourselves and to God. It’s about tapping into and living up to the divine potential within us. Embracing the beauty of our womanhood can heal the broken places in our hearts. Our lives can be filled with the light, love, and joy we crave. May we all embrace our worth and find joy in celebrating the light of womanhood.
