Everybody is a star

"Everybody is a star, I can feel it when you shine on me." A song by Sly and The Family Stone speaks of the power that radiates from each one of us. Each individual is as important as the other. Our presence can contribute to someone's life, or cause a void in any situation. 

Ever been told you were "missed"?  I believe what is being missed is the radiant force that shapes our form that shines out upon those we know and love. Our presence can make a huge difference in someone's day and how they experience it. 

Allowing our light to shine will help us to see brightness in the midst of darkness, to do right when some one else is doing wrong. It will cause others to have a curious wonder as to what it is that seems to radiate you. See the differences in others as not actually being different, but in the difference of how they shine their light.

No matter what the circumstances of our being born are, we are all here on purpose. Every time a woman gives birth, a star is born. Allow others to be who they are, a "star" here to illuminate our universe and bring their own creative quality to such a level that even the thought of them will leave an everlasting brightness.

The Sly and the Family Stone song continues: "Ever catch a falling star? There's no stopping it until it's in the ground."
