Expect miracles. They are all around us. To notice them, we need to attract them. Miracles will dance around lit candles even when the candle doesn’t burn brightly. The fire just burns, staying lit and putting out an energy that says, “Here I am.” The energy draws notice and is a stark contrast to the darkness. It is simple but powerful – a light that pulls life forces towards it and invites curiosity, engagement and a sense of serenity. When we witness this light, we feel spellbound by the flame, the light. It’s why people love to sit and watch a fire. It’s beautiful and brings contemplation, quietness and peace. In this moment we think, beckon for answers and dream. When our own energy exudes our fire, our light, we too pull life towards us and we invite what we long for: connection, love, the light of others and miracles.

Think about your energy from time to time. When we are not always able to maintain a steady flow of optimism, figure out what’s going on and do something to reignite your light. Is it rest or time alone? Is it a walk? Is it a creative endeavor? A talk with a friend? Thinking about ways to take care of your body? Helping someone? A fall to your knees to pray? When your fire diminishes, it’s the Divine’s way of saying, “Suit up and show up in your own life.” Do something to replenish your light, even if it’s just doing the next thing. Sustaining negative energy diminishes your light and your reserves. Energy minus energy equals less energy. Take whatever you’ve got to move in a better direction. People will feel it and see it, evoking inspiration in yourself and others. Inspiring energy is powerful enough to light up the world.

Energy pushes and pulls. Loving, hopeful, positive energy connects you with all living creatures. It pulls in a sense of gratitude, love, people who need healing, people and opportunities meant to replenish you – miracles. An energy that exudes your light has the power to spark a fire in another and push away those things that do not serve us. It’s an energy that has the ability to feed the troubled soul of another and enough power to eradicate the negativity that clings to the walls. The sustained energy of neediness, envy, anger, fear and hate pushes away what is needed – honesty, miracles and deep, lasting connection. Negative energy may pull sometimes too. It just pulls in more negativity.

Do the next thing needed to change your energy to pull in what you need and push away what you don’t. Start with the spark in you, stay loving of yourself and others despite the negative force field that may surround you. Try your best to leave a trail of light wherever you go and don’t waste time or energy fostering the negative. Loving, optimistic energy will always invite more miracles and produce enough light to lead you and others where they need to go.
