shining a light on healing & love
from dena parker duke
May we find new words to lead us to the truth of who we are with all our imperfections, no matter how painful, that will in turn will lead us toward more acceptance of both the magnificent shadows and light that we carry.
Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.
― Maya Angelou
the mission of a tiny light
This is not a space for telling anyone what to do or believe. There is too much noise outside of us. We all need places inviting us to venture inside to feel and to heal. We need places and words that remind us to get back in touch with how to move toward our divine light. Join me in finding ways to spread words of healing to outweigh those that are much heavier only trying to weigh us down. May we tip the scales toward the words we are dying to say and longing to hear. May it be so.
All the Time
You have everything inside that you need right now.
It has always been within you from the very beginning.
It doesn’t have to take a lifetime for you to know.
But it’s ok if it does because it’s not going anywhere.
This is the poem that has transformed into a children’s book to promote the divine spark

meet the author
Dena Duke is an Idaho based author who writes in honor of skin, bones, and hearts that somehow seem to know how to mend themselves like starfish who can grow new arms. She strives to burn away secrets and shame so healing and hope can take root. After undergoing two corneal transplants in the last 6 months she is even more amazed at how the human body (and spirit) knows just how to heal! Writing her newest book for all ages (targeted at even the tiniest of lights) has been one of her dreams come true!
