I have always longed to reach out and help the people around me. The many paths I’ve ventured down over the past 40 plus years to help others, I was to learning and understanding this wonderful thing called life.
Many of the roads I’ve taken, have led me down paths to others dealing with issues of struggles with grief, parenting issues, death, addiction, incarceration, homelessness and a sense of loss in their everyday lives.
Many times working with these beautiful individuals brought profound change into my own life, as I would feel every ounce of pain or joy of those I met or experienced a daily life with. I had to learn to use their negative hurts and turn them into a positive, so they could heal and move forward.
Witnessing the lives of others and implementing the tools of turning the negatives of this world into a positive, propelled the healing and continued success of all that I have met with over the past couple of decades.
Bring In Light was started at first as an inmate outreach, where I would personally hand write to long term inmates around the world that never had outside communication. It was an inmate that named Bring In Light via a letter saying “You Miss Lynie, Bring In Light to my darkened corner every week”
My work with Bring In Light now has many outreach purposes, all upon the foundation of learning, healing, loving and understanding that we are uniquely different individuals, but we are all walking Home together.
