When my family moved to Rigby, Idaho, we started attending our new ward for church. I was so excited, because a couple of women in the ward were some of my patients where I worked. We got along great!

They were both so friendly and darling…  I just knew they would be happy to be my friends, plus some of our kids were friends at school.

The first Sunday, one of them approached me, welcomed me to the ward, and informed me that she wouldn’t be able to talk to me because she was serving with the youth.

I understand how busy things get at church with individual callings, but did she need to word it that way!?! 

The other woman, who was so fun, and vivacious, never acknowledged me and never spoke to me the entire time we lived there. She acted like she didn’t know me and it seemed that she would deliberately go out of her way to avoid me.

I was heartbroken! I just wanted to be acknowledged and recognized. I wanted to be a friend and to make new friends.

It took a while, but eventually I made some wonderful and lasting friendships during that time—friends that I could be vulnerable with, who helped me through some very difficult times, and were there for me when I needed them most. 

Feeling invisible and/or unrecognized can really take a toll. Here are three tips to help during those tough times:

1. Understand that just because you want something, doesn’t mean you will get it! Keep your heart and mind open, because what you expected will be better than you hoped for. Heavenly Father is aware of you and is ready to give you unexpected blessings.

2. Be consistent in your efforts. Realize that the most wonderful associations take time to build. Those who count the most in your life will always love, know and recognize you for the incredible person that you are.

3. Keep showing up, even when you don’t want to… even when you feel like you want to quit because you feel invisible. You are never invisible to the Lord. He sees you and knows what you are going through. He knows you and calls you by name. 

Hang in there, my friend—life will get better.

If you're ready to shift from feeling invisible to feeling recognized, see the Dose of Enlightenment below.

With love,

Since we promised to treat you to an extra dose of light in your inbox, we include a Dose of Enlightenment for you at the end of each newsletter. We value your agency, so it’s up to you whether or not you receive it!

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time. 

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: unrecognized

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how unrecognized applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 113 + 887 = E

Say it out loud with intent: "one-thirteen plus eight-eighty-seven equals enlightenment.”

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
