Bright Muse and the Blue Lantern Corps.

I often thought to myself that if I could be a superhero, then I would call myself "Bright Muse" and that my superpower would be Positive Inspiration; because I'm good at it.

In a world that is perfectly balanced, we may sometimes think to ourselves "why do I have it so tough!" especially when we look around and so many people seem to be living "the good life".

But remember that to strike balance, t Read more of this blog post »

Amira’s Quotes

“That luminous part of you that exists beyond personality–your soul, if you will–is as bright and shining as any that has ever been....Clear away everything that keeps you separate from this secret luminous place. Believe it exists, come to know it better, nurture it, share its fruits tirelessly.”
― George Saunders
