    About this ebook

    In Things That Shine, Ariane Signer takes us on a nonlinear journey through some of the moments that shaped her life. At a crossroad between the darkness and the light, Signer turned to her first passion, writing, to help her make sense of past traumas and anxious thoughts. Compiling two decades worth of journal entries, ideas, and feelings, her witty humor and refusal to surrender to the dark side will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside. A testament to the human condition and the depth of emotion, this collection is sure to please light seekers, skeptics, and the perpetually enlightened.

      For Thomas, Theo & Jake

      You are the brightest stars I have ever seen.

      Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.

      — Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

      Acknowledgements

      This collection would have never seen the light of day without the continuous support of my husband, Thomas. Thank you for believing in my dreams and doing everything possible to help them come true. We make pretty magical things happen together, don’t we? I will never stop loving you.

      To my two son-shines, Theo and Jake. You have inspired me in ways that I could never have imagined. Thank you for showing up when you did. You have given me the most beautiful love that I have ever known.

      Mom and Dad, I’m eternally grateful that I was born into a family that appreciated books. Thank you for never turning down my Scholastic book order requests, for reading my short stories, and for believing in the power of my imagination.

      And Mom,
