What are Candle Thoughts?
Candle thoughts are little ideas that lift you up. From a favorite lyric or book quote to the taste of a chocolate chip cookie to the sound of your friend’s laugh, candle thoughts remind you that even if things are bad, there are still some lights in the darkness.

I hope that, for all of us, in the year ahead, kindness will prevail and that gentleness and humanity and forgiveness will be there for us if and when we need them.

Everything in life is frightening and uncertain right now. It’s so easy to succumb to anxiety, to believe that nothing will get better. I can’t make any promises about the future, but I’m writing these words in the hopes that maybe I can help others find the “candle thoughts” that push away the darkness of anxiety.
About Me
I’m a young technical writer who recently moved to Madison, WI. Before that, I got a degree in English Literature and minors in linguistics and stage management at the University of Colorado at Boulder. In my free time, I write, read, bake, and play Dungeons and Dragons. I also run a small jewelry design business, TrebleMetals. One day I hope to have a black cat named Vex and a garden full of herbs and bees.
