Be Bright: Part One

This week we were inspired by the perfectly simple, important advice of Kate at Clear the Way:

Life can be rather dull sometimes and the days can be dark.
People step on your toes in the name of insecurity, immaturity, and misguided love.
Sometimes you really care about these people, and it really hurts.
We’re all trying to do what we think is right, and sometimes people make mistakes.

Just be bright.

Be bright in the best ways you know how. Be bright by lighting up a friend’s day. Be bright by reading something new and interesting. Be bright by tending to your needs and cares. The whole world can feel gloomy at times, but you’re a really awesome person and you don’t settle. You don’t let stuff well up and cave in. You’re too bright for that noise.

Feminism is love. Feminism is using love to triumph, to heal, to accept some parts, and to dismiss other parts kindly. When you feel like the world is trying to cramp your style or as if some of your loved ones are trying to snuff your flame, you can choose to be bright.

Isn't that perfect? So we're choosing to be bright this week, both in our attitudes and in our outfits. Stay tuned for part two!
