Bright City Big Light

October 12, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 14 Comments

Dawn is a beautiful mom of 5 based out of Redding California. She is an artist, a musician and the vision behind Yellow Reformation. Her relentless passion and creativity inspire me daily. Read on below to hear more about a movement that I connect deeply with and consider myself to be apart of.
“In 2001, I started dreaming about being a part of a creative movement, an artisan-type guild, where each one’s gift sharpened and expanded the others gift, creating together as a community, with the intention of affecting change in their individual spheres of influence. For many years I have simply pined for it, and finally I am learning that sometimes you have to begin to offer the water you are thirsty for instead of waiting for someone to bring it to you. And so, the dream of Yellow Reformation began..
Yellow Reformation is about connecting with an Other-Than God, connecting to His glory, His goodness, His light, and to create something with Him; and in turn, release it into the atmosphere. So, Yellow reminds me of light, and of the glory with which we are made to connect. 
Essentially, we are made to be light-bearers. Light itself carries the full spectrum of color, and color simply happens when light hits any object in it’s path. Light, in essence, releases color. We all have a specific color that we are made to offer the world in which we live. We are salt. We are light. We have the privilege of offering flavor and color to the world around us, and to affect the atmosphere with it.
I dream of being a part of a movement of people, a creative community, a family of artisans who are passionate about letting the light in and releasing the color that happens as they do. And so I bring to you the potential of a Yellow Reformation. So, whether you join us by investing in our products and using them to shift atmospheres, or you invest your heart and hands into our evolving local community, consider yourself cordially invited to join Yellow Reformation and imagine with us what it could look like to change culture with color…” – DAWN
These words resonate so loudly with my soul. I am so thankful for people and movements like these, that are all about being the light, spreading the light and causing change all around us. Read more about yellow reformation and shop her beautiful creations here.

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️
