One top question I get is what makes a woman illuminated? Is it a woman who “has it all together?” Someone who makes a lot of money and has an amazing career? What about someone who is the best mom in the neighborhood. Sure enough she is an illuminated woman! Right?
Are You an Illuminated Woman? from Angela Johnson on Vimeo.
An illuminated woman is ANYONE who believes in the possibilites more than the current circumstances. It’s that moment when we think we have hit rock bottom and something supports us to take the next step. Even when we don’t know where the next step leads us. Even when it’s dark and we can’t see what is next. Even when it’s hard to breathe because it seems so scary and heavy. It’s those defining moments that when we move forward despite the circumstances illumination emerges from our core. Those moments not only support ourselves personally, but it’s those moments that inspire others to keep moving forward also.
This realization is the fire under me to support empowerment for everyone. Even in the moments when it feels hard and I don’t know where or how the next solution is going to manifest. I remember my bigger purpose. I remember the possibilities that keep me awake at night with a perma-grin on my face because I’m so excited about what can happen next.
Tell me about your illumination moments? When you thought you would have to let go of a dream but you hung on. When you hit rock bottom and found your way through the fog? When you were faced with a challenge and came through it with brilliant strength and hope.
Let’s connect in authenticity and support each other in being real, honest and vulnerable. That is what is inspiring. Thanks to those who let me see their raw strength because I lean on it often and it has made me into the woman I am today.
