What does 'Darkness' mean to you?
Each year that goes by I reflect on my life....where it is...where it is going. There are times things in my life flow effortlessly and other times are incredibly strenuous.
I have had many days filled with light and goodness and others that have been so dark I did not think I would be able to see my way out. It is in the darkest times I do my deepest searching...searching for me and the meaning of life...sometimes the answers come right away and other times they come so slowly. I cannot explain what darkness is as there are no words to describe it...maybe...if you watched the Harry Potter movies...it would be similar to the death eaters coming and sucking out your soul or being...that is the only real description that comes to my mind. During these times of darkness when I feel like my soul has been sucked out of me...I realize there is always some light...no matter how small it may be...it is there and it is deep. When I start to focus on that light it starts to get better and the darkness starts to lighten up a bit..there then becomes a balance in me of light and dark...working in union.
Experience allows us to understand life...it allows us to be sympathetic to others, to give, to love, to have compassion...my experience thus far in this lifetime continue to bring compassion and gratitude to a new level.
Live, Love, Adventure!!

Positivegirlvt
Positivegirlvt was born out of darkness. We have always been friends, somewhat distant friends,
but while each going through challenges we never imagined we'd have to face we have come to rely on one another during our darkest times.
There is something special about the bond we share. We are both willing to learn, to understand and to grow spiritually. We never tell one another how to feel or what to do, we simply listen, respect, and try to provide light (although an occasional opinion may creep in from time to time :-) ).
We have been on a tremendous journey of growth, we have consciously chosen to have fun and make our own fun; dancing, tanning at the beach, mountain biking, dinners with our kids, movie nights, and meeting new people to name a few. But even though we have good times, we've also shared a lot of tears, mistakes, and painful setbacks.
Through it all we've supported each other with love and kindness by listening, sharing A LOT of quotes and songs, making each other laugh, and just allowing each other to grow independently but not alone.
As the founders of Positivegirlvt we HAVE seen darkness, and we have discovered that there is light in darkness. Even in the pitch black you can see. Your eyes just have to adjust.
