Welcome back, Glow-Getters!
So, we have this little post-meal ritual whenever we open a fortune cookie. Before cracking open the cookie, we announce something like, “this fortune will be about [insert specific aspect of life].” Sometimes we choose to say something about finances or a goal we share, but this time we said, “This fortune will be about our Positopians.”
Voilà—the cookie spilled its secret just for you…
Follow your honest beliefs to stay strong.
We hope the cookie’s secret becomes a call to greatness for you as your inner light continues to guide you this week!
Here are some resources to help you on that journey…

What am I afraid would happen if I shared my experience right now with this person?
How will feel if I don’t share what I’m thinking and feeling?
If I weren’t afraid, what would I most want to say to this person right now?
How can I share this with even more vulnerability?
