Light is contagious. Often, the fastest way to feel better ourselves is to project that energy outward.
"Brighten" is a verb—it requires action. You don't have to wait for the sun to come out or for things to become "perfect" to feel a sense of lightness. Start small, look for the glimmers, and watch how the shadows start to recede.
To "brighten" isn't just about flipping a switch; it’s an intentional practice of adding warmth, clarity, and energy back into your days.
