Release joyful light

I'm attending (online) the Women Unleashed Retreat again this year. In this mornings beginning meditation vision, we focused on finding our intention for the retreat. The word that came to me was - LIGHT. (Interesting on the shortest day of the year) 

My intention expanded itself... "Dispel the darkness. Release joyful light!"

dis•pel (dĭ-spĕlˈ)

v. To rid one's mind of: managed to dispel my doubts.

v. To drive away or off by or as if by scattering.  

The official retreat begins tomorrow on the Winter Solstice. I shall end the year by releasing what was before and moving forward with intent.
