Let There Be Light…And a Really Messy Room (Wordless/Wordful Wednesday)
“If you look deep within you will find a brilliant light. Too many – far too many – squint and turn away from the shine. Let your eyes adjust and bathe in the radiance.” – Author Unknown
We are women.
We have the power to shine.
To fill the dark corners of the world with our radiant light.
To encourage and empower each other.
To bask in the light of women who inspire.
And to shine our light on women who encourage and empower others.
Join me on Friday as I celebrate one of our own – an everyday woman whose light shines as a source of encouragement and empowerment to women like you and me. It’s the first edition in a new monthly series I’m kicking off this year and it’s called Women Who Empower. To learn more about the Women Who Empower series and to nominate a woman who inspires you, visit the Women Who Empower page in the menu above.

And now I’d like to shine a little bit of light on a young man who inspires.
Inspires me to blackmail him, that is.
My son thought it was a great idea to throw everything on his person either on the floor or on his bed this afternoon when he came home from school. I’ve had it with the mess. I’m tired of asking him to pick up his stuff. He is 15 years old which means he should be a little more responsible.
It also means that he’s fair game when it comes to blackmailing.*insert evil, bad mom laugh here*
So here it is: a photo of his clothes, textbooks, notebooks, SHOES, loose change – you name it, it’s there – on his bed. I’m sure that posting this photo will be encouragement enough for him to get moving and start picking up his stuff.
Teenagers…

Actually – I have seen worse – in the room right next to where I sit this very moment – my DS’s room. YUCK! Love the light bulb image – let’s all shine on in 2011 (in an ecologically friendly way OF COURSE!).
