New Lights Moving Us Forward

Imagine what it must have been like at the turn of the last century when cities were lit up for the first time. All of a sudden we no longer lived in darkness, what a hugh change. That led to so much more of the industrial revolution which consumed the 20th century. I feel like I am at a similar point of lights turning on, only this time they are internal lights.
I went to a convention last week. This was so far out of my comfort zone, 6 months ago I wouldn't have been able to imagine it. I didn't know anyone except a few people that I had met briefly and now I was going to spend 5 days out of town with them. It had all the makings of a disaster. But I decided to open myself up to the experience and see where it would take me. I ended up having a great time, I met so many wonderful people, and heard some incredible speakers. I was surprised at how much fun I had.
I am learning that sometimes I just have to follow where the light is leading. This kind of thinking is new for me I always thought I had to follow the darkness and the drama, but it is so much better to look at the light in other people and situations. This allowed me to have a great week and new unexpected experiences.
