About Rise and Shine on Purpose

Do you remember as a kid having your mom wake you up as she pulled back the curtains in the morning and announced “rise and shine”? I didn’t give much thought to what that meant for me back then. I usually just wanted to bury my head under the pillow.

Now, however, “rise and shine” brings new meaning for me.

As you travel through life, you learn more about yourself but also other people. You learn about the world around you and the heart within you. Along the journey, your experiences might feel heavy and hard.

Each day we have a choice. We can rise to the challenge and shine in the opportunity.

My hope is that I can confidently (and humbly) shine my light. And more importantly, shine light on others – people who are making an impact while living bravely and boldly.

Think about how much brighter the world could be.

It’s time to rise and shine…on purpose!
