Happy International Aura Awareness Day!!

It's been a while since I've posted in celebration of a quirky holiday. Today, I felt inspired and after looking up what day we were celebrating today, was glad to see it was International Aura Awareness Day. Whether you believe in auras, orbs, and spirits or not, everyone has an air about them or a presence in a room. So for the sake of argument, you could celebrate people's "presence".

I looked up "aura" on the internet and it talked about the aura being a person's personal glow, or power. And yes, it also mentioned seeing people's auras when you have a migraine but that's besides the point. I like to think someone's aura as that presence someone has in a group or conversation. For example, have you ever looked at someone and thought there was something about them that made them look especially good that day, or you drew you to them? Or have you looked at a stranger and thought they were very attractive and couldn't quite figure out why? Perhaps apart from their physique, you were seeing their aura, or presence and found it pleasing.

When I read that it was International Aura Awareness Day, the first thing that came to mind for me was looking for that glow in people, and seeing their good side. Appreciating them for the beautiful person they are even if you wouldn't necessarily think they were the most attractive physically; Seeing what makes them shine from the inside.

Take today to look extra hard for that glow in people, and enjoy it. Maybe it'll get passed on to you, you never know!
