Anybody who has gone through, or is going through, a dark period in life, or is in recovery from alcoholism and/or addiction, knows the importance of breaking life down into manageable chunks by facing one day at a time.

 

This candle is a gentle reminder that living fully in today and only today is really the best approach for us all! Be where your feet are. Be in this day, right here, right now.

 

As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Sufficient to today are the duties of today. Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you; well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it."

 

I've found Emerson's words to be challenging and 100% true. The colors of this candle represent the healing warmth of the sun. Each candle contains a black obsidian gemstone, known for its grounding energies.
