On one of my recent podcasts I talked about Glow Writing. Go back and listen if you missed it!
This week has felt a little dry for me emotionally — and I know a lot of you can relate. As we move into this season full of holidays and memories, it’s easy for waves of grief to come rushing in.
I spent some time glow writing this week, and what poured out was heavy with remembrance of my sweet Bradley on his angelversary. In my words I noticed the phrase lost love. When I read them back, I sat for a minute and thought — is the love really lost?
Because I haven’t lost my love for my son. And I know, deep in my soul, that his love for us still exists. It just lives a bit differently now.
So, I chose to transmute that phrase lost love into everlasting love.
That’s the power of glow writing — it helps us see what’s hidden beneath the surface and shift it into light.
When I realized that my photos stop where his life did, it was painful. But then I also realized that love doesn’t. It continues — through how I show up for others, how I create, and how I choose to live with more compassion and purpose.
✨ Glow Writing Challenge:
Write freely for 10 minutes about someone you miss deeply. Let it all out — no editing, no censoring.
Then, read your words and find one phrase or emotion that stands out to you.
Ask yourself: How can I shift this? How can I honor this love in a way that keeps it alive within me?
Maybe your “lost love” becomes everlasting love.
Maybe your “grief” becomes gratitude for the time you shared. Remember, there is no wrong way to do this. The key is…do it:) You may repeat as often as you like.
Please share in the comments below — what phrase are you transforming this week? 💛
Keep glowing,
