About Personal Searchlight
Welcome to Personal Searchlight, a space dedicated to exploring mental wellness, personal growth, and the quiet power of not being alone.
The name comes from an image I once used in my writing — a searchlight cutting through the dark, guiding me home. It still feels true today. This blog is where I share reflections, essays, and resources that have helped me find light in challenging times and meaning in everyday moments.
Here, you’ll find thoughts on healing, self-compassion, and rediscovery, along with quotes and links to practical tools found in podcasts, TED Talks, books, movies, etc. that inspire clarity and peace. It’s not about perfection or expertise — it’s about truth, learning, and connection.
Personal Searchlight is my ongoing journey to live a more meaningful life and to remind anyone reading that no one walks this path alone.
Thank you for being here and for sharing this light with me.

Read your latest chapters and as always I am impressed with your ability to paint a picture with the words you choose. I have copied your latest writings for your Mother. It appears that you are letting go of those things in the past that hurt and holding on to those that are positive. WE wonder how you are able to work in all the things that is now going on in your life. Looking forward to your next chapters. Love, Dad
