A Light in the Hallway

Sometimes, all it takes is a simple night light in the hallway to guide you through the darkness — whether you’re heading to the kitchen for a midnight snack or to the bathroom half-asleep. That small light makes all the difference.

In much the same way, the valleys of life — the dark, uncertain moments — make even the faintest glimmer of hope shine brighter. The deeper the darkness, the more powerful even a spark of light becomes.

I’ve searched for many things in life, often finding myself further from my goal than when I began. In those moments, I’ve realized something simple but profound: all I really need is a little hope to get through. Hope doesn’t need to be grand; it just needs to be present. It’s often the quiet reminder that leads us into a new day — and the darker the night, the brighter the morning.


A Message from the Council

The council has something special for you today:
Remember, you don’t have to face the darkness of your soul alone. There’s more happening behind the scenes than you can see. None of us are without spiritual assistance.

You came into this life through spiritual means, and you are sustained and guided back home through spiritual means. This journey has never been a solitary one — there’s a host of spirits watching over each of us, offering strength and quiet guidance when we need it most.

If there’s anything that weighs on your heart — something you wish you could have done differently — release it. Trust the ones who know you best. Look for the light in the hallway throughout your earthly journey.

Even when progress feels slow, remember it’s still progress.


Keep Moving Forward

The council says, “We’re all behind you, Jim.”
We help you write, live, work, retire — all of it. Each morning, we read your words and share them with others. Sometimes, family members from beyond the veil join us, smiling as they see your light shine into this world.

So, keep going. Even if today’s step is small, it matters. It’s progress — and it’s significant.

Sometimes, your words, your kindness, or your perseverance become that light in the hallway for someone else. You may never realize how much it helps, but to someone lost in the dark, that little light means everything.


Keep shining. Keep hoping. Keep walking toward the light — one step at a time.
