December 31 ~ Shining Lives of Great Souls
“Let stars stand for those things which are ideal and radiant in life. If we seek sincerely and strive hard enough, it is not impossible to reach them. And how often do we touch stars when we find them close by in the shining lives of great souls, in the sparkling universe of humanity around us!”
~ Esther Baldwin York

Writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, in The Little Prince, once wondered whether the stars are set alight so that each of us might one day find our own again. It is a reminder to look upward, and also inward, with wonder and care.

As the new year approaches, may there be more magic, more attentive days, and more moments that feel quietly alive. May daily celebrations continue to reveal themselves where we least expect them.

Here’s wishing you good things: joy that returns easily, relationships that nourish, and a life shaped by meaning and growth.

Life is a celebration of passionate colors. Thank you for the colors you bring.

Happy New Year.
