The Sun: Radiating Joy & Authenticity
My post content
Introduction: Stepping Into the Light
There was a time when I hesitated—afraid of standing out, of embracing my own happiness fully. I worried that my joy might be too much, that if I shined too brightly, I’d cast a shadow on others. But life has a way of teaching us that dimming our light serves no one. The more we embody our truth, the more we inspire others to do the same.
This is the essence of The Sun. It is the card of illumination, confidence, and stepping into our fullest potential. It reminds us that joy is not something we need to earn—it is something we are meant to embody. When we align with our inner radiance, life responds with abundance, clarity, and ease.
