Happy Bright Light: A Weekly Empowerment Guide

Happy Bright Light is all about being happy and staying positive. This book was written to remind readers or reveal to them that they are already brilliant. It isn’t indented to be a quick one-sided read; it’s a collaboration between the reader and the author. Included in this weekly empowerment guide are 52 inspirational messages (one for each week of the year). Because the reader’s input is equally as important, between these entries, there is space for personal thoughts and reflections. This can create time for readers to invest in themselves and be more in tune with their personal outlook and growth. Each entry is accompanied by nature photography as reminders to everyone that they have similarities with our world. Just like the reader, both they and nature are continuously growing. While these images are meant to be an inspiring guide to show individuals how marvelous, strong and bright they really are, the true inspirational power is alive in each of us already. You don’t have to be famous or have high credentials to be great. All you need is a bright outlook and a willingness to stick to your optimism. Shine bright using these 52 empowerment tips to increase your personal strength today.
