I’m Not In Her Shadow; I’m Her Light

I’m Not In Her Shadow; I’m Her Light

        A reporter asked Maya Angelou’s son “What is it like growing up in Maya Angelou’s shadow?”  He said “I’m not in her shadow.  I’m her light.”  She raised him well, into a man with the right perspective.

        We can all rise to be the best version of ourselves, taking out of the things we learn and experience inspiration and energy that benefits us to become amazing people.  When phenomenal items are presented to us, then if we receive it well, so much more brightens our lives.

        Somebody important in our life can be such a tremendous part of our journey, that it leaves a lasting mark.  But we may also have an influence unto another that can be a blessing for both them and us.

        Being available could be the needed light that someone requires to fill their void and help them stabilize the level they’re seeking.  Perspectives to reach our fullness point would enrich us to where we might spill onto others blessings to energize them as well as inspire accomplishments.

        A placement in someone’s shadow might seem like a darkened region though we could also be a bright spot in another’s challenge.  Looking back at experiences reveals insights allowing us to see some incredible aspects that maybe we missed while living through it.  Shine immense light.
