Light with intention

I started making candles because I was pissed. There was a problem in my life and the only solution I could find was compassion! Fire to me, is masculine energy. A flame is a reminder to help me not forget my source. I would light a tea light candle to remind myself to show compassion to the person with the sick mind and sad life and that it would all work itself out. Another problem arose. I could not stop obsessing over it! I would find myself thinking of the situation and get pissed all over again just to show more compassion. I only have room for so much of it… SO one night the power went out and the generator kicked on. I asked my boyfriend if one night could we pretend the power is out and we don’t have a generator and we only use candle light for the night. He was enthusiastic about it. The idea of making our own candles made the idea even better. I switched my obsessive thinking from the problem to how to make candles! There are a lot of things to consider when making candles. Here I am, months and months later still learning how to make my perfect candle! Making candles has had such an impact on me. The problem that I had seems so tiny now and it worked itself out with out my intervention. God has the plan. I don’t have to understand it and I don’t have to know how things are going to happen. I do know that this feels good and I’m moving forward with it. When I say I’m obsessed I am not exaggerating. I love candles and I’ve always wanted to have a business of my own. I just had no idea what it would be until now. So, light your candle for a reminder. Light your candle with an intention. Light your candle to feel good. Light your candle to remind yourself that you can handle that. When you feel like you can’t the universe can and will. God is good. I’m going to candle that.
