Every event can be seen as positive or negative. It’s all about perspective. And sure, from the depths of hell, it’s difficult to see any positive other than, “Well at least it’s warm!” But even in the depths of hell there is still hope.

Be the Light encourages readers to find peace and happiness in being themselves, even in the darkest times. Amidst a world of well-meaning family, friends, and strangers telling you to, “Get over it,” or reminding you that, “You need to be positive,” it can be hard to figure out that first, critical step to recovery.
