In the Season of Lights posts that I’ve shared here over the years, many traditions include teachings about our Divine Spark — “This Little Light of Mine” as the song goes (see yesterday’s post for Bruce’s amazing, smile-inducing rendition of that song!).
Here’s just one great story of the good things people do as caring neighbors and community members — I came across the story of Suzy DeYoung’s La Soupe in the September/October 2018 edition of the Eating Well magazine (also well worth checking out!).
Check out the story of La Soupe, a heart-warming and body-and-soul nourishing effort in Cincinnati, Ohio.
There are so many other good things happening out there at the interpersonal level and in local communities!
What are some of your favorite examples?
Share them in the comments or in your own blog post and link back (your post link will appear in the comments section here for others to see).

Be the Light, Help Illuminate the Way … [Image shared in an e-message from the University of Spiritual Healing and Sufism]Give, Receive, Shine & Support the Work
If you’ve found regular inspiration … or a super-handy dose of it … in this and other Sophia’s Children articles and offerings, consider supporting the work in one of these easy ways:
Jamie has long been an inspiration partner and lantern-holder for her fellow transformation leaders, change catalysts, and creative nonconformists who are living, inspiring, and (intentionally or not) leading the way in these chaotic times.
When she's not tending and stirring the Sophia's Children cauldron, she's following research trails, and serving as the Director of a Repro-Justice-oriented women's health center in her community, co-creating a safe, in-person compassionate care environment in a world that increasingly seems to lack that.
Jamie is a long-time servant of the Muse, a writer and author, an intrepid walker and feline-tender, and is passionate about the healing power and relevance of reclaiming ancestral-wisdom and healing (or at least understanding) ancestral (and other types of) trauma. She has great appreciation for dark chocolate and cooking other nourishing, delicious meals -- often plant-based -- to nourish her partner and her peeps, and otherwise doing the same day to day things we all do.
Thanks for visiting! Wishing you well. Learn More: http://sophias-children.com
