What Up Family?
Welcome to The Edit with Aaron Seawood, a lifestyle letter serving a weekly dose of real estate, culture, and wisdom—all in three minutes or less. Let’s dive in.
Except today is the first day of 2025!
So, in lieu of my typical format, I’m choosing one section to highlight as my spirit is leading the way: Weekly Gem. Since 2024 was such a roller coaster for many, my hope is that this new year gem sets the tone for this new season.
New Year Gem 💎
Mirror and Magnify Each Other’s Light
“The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.”
—James Baldwin, Nothing Personal
Regardless of our belief systems, we are all energy and vibrating at a certain frequency at all times. For those who are tuned in, tapped in, turned on you already know that mirroring and magnifying each other’s light is how to fully experience love.
It took me quite some time to realize that everything is for my benefit, so I’m always striving to shine my light as bright as possible, regardless of the circumstances. And although it’s powerful to model positivity, it’s even better to serve as a mirror to show others what positive attributes they already have.
This past year was a gut punch for a lot of people, leaving them feeling lonely, unsure, and afraid. And way underneath all of that is a light that was dimmed somewhere along the way. If this is you, know that you can shine bright once again. Will it take courage to see past your troubles? Most certainly. Might you have to dig deep to find the humanity in the world when all seems lost? You definitely will. Just know that we are here to mirror and magnify your light!
For those of us who were in alignment with self, last year was the breakthrough we had been manifesting for some time. All of our intentions and declarations became our reality. It is still mind-blowing to me how many levels I jumped just by detaching from ‘how is this going to happen?’ and ‘when is it happening?’ I truly surrendered and everything flowed from there. Were there hard days? Absolutely. Did I cry more than I ever have before? You betcha. All that and I still ended up with the best possible outcomes.
I’ll leave you with this: always shine your light to be a beacon for others. And probably more importantly, please mirror and magnify the light in others. How? It can be as simple as giving a compliment to a friend or displaying gratitude to a co-worker. When we serve as a mirror to others’ light, we are supercharging their self-esteem, self-worth, and self-efficacy.
Love is the highest vibration. Decide that 2025 will be the year that you tune in with your higher self and mirror and magnify each other’s light. We’re all depending on it.
