The light you are searching for has always been within you.
Life, heartbreak, grief, fear and the demands of everyday living can make us forget who we really are. Dear Light exists to remind you. Pause here a while, and remember that joy, peace and possibility are always available to you.

The woman behind Dear Light
Hello, I’m Maryana.
I write letters about worth, faith, love and the lessons the soul keeps returning to, for anyone rebuilding themselves and learning that their worth was never something to earn.
