STORIES OF LIGHT

🌸 The Forgetting
There are moments in life when we forget.
We forget the rhythm of our own heartbeat.
The sacred reason we were sent here.
The tenderness we once offered so freely.
But then, a whisper rises.
Not from outside—but deep within.
A sacred echo. A remembering.
It calls us by our true name—
the one the Earth still remembers,
the one our ancestors still sing.
🪶 A Story That Stirred My Bones
I was moved when I heard Taraji P. Henson speak of the Mbembe tribe of South Africa.
Their ritual didn’t just land in my ears—it reverberated through my spirit like a sacred drumbeat.
When someone in their community falters, the Mbembe do not punish.
They gather. They circle.
They remember together.
For two days, the person is surrounded by love—
Voices reminding them of their goodness.
Memories stitching their spirit back into wholeness.
This is not just their ritual—it is ours too.
A spiritual recalibration.
A collective act of grace that says:
You are still one of us.
You are still good.
You are still worthy.
🌀 The Soul Circle
This remembering lives in what I call the soul circle.
Not bound by gender or blood—
But by love, presence, and spirit.
This is where I return when I feel like I've failed,
when my inner light flickers low.
The soul circle gathers—sometimes silently.
They speak life when I have no words.
They reflect truth when I forget my shape.
They water my roots.
In this circle, we do not exile.
We call each other back—gently, patiently, fully.
And when the remembering comes,
we bless it,
dance with it,
grow from it.
🌿 A Ritual for You
If today you feel far from yourself...
If shame, silence, or sorrow has taken up space in your heart...
This is your invitation:
Gather your soul circle—seen or unseen.
Speak your name aloud.
Let love mirror your truth back to you.
And remember:
You are not broken.
You are not alone.
You are simply being invited back to your truth.
🌟 Your Belonging Is Sacred
Let this be your ritual.
Let this be your reminder:
You are good.
You are loved.
You belong.
🌺 This is the Hibiscus Light Path—rooted in grace, lifted by truth, held by community.
With you, always.
