SHARE YOUR LIGHT!

SPEAK

Marie Elena Cortes and Mark Sedgwick are the co-hosts of a mother and son talk show, The SHINE Podcast, where they interview empowering guests who are shining in their community or profession. It has been such an amazing journey so far hosting this show! I wonder who we will interview NEXT? Maybe it could be YOU or someone you know? Reach out to us at ShineAndLetsGrow@gmail.com to nominate someone to be our next guest!

WRITE

We write books to stimulate thinking and encourage people to live their best life! These titles include My Annoying Little Brother and The Shine Notebook. Explore our SHOP and consider getting yourself or a loved one a copy of our motivating books! We hope you feel EMPOWERED to write your own book too! YOU CAN DO IT! ☺

BEAUTIFY

We love to share our inner light and INSPIRE people through painting uplifting Murals and Art Projects in schools, businesses, and public spaces around the globe! The smiles and the encouragement that comes from people seeing our art make the hours of painting all worth it. Invite us to collaborate in bringing your artistic vision into reality!

LISTEN

Mark Sedgwick combines his gifts of musical creation and poetry writing to make Positive Rap music (check it out below). He gets his Inspiration from his life experiences, his love for people, and the needs and struggles he sees throughout the world.

MOVE

We know that engaging in Healthy Movement that is enjoyable is one of the keys to living a GOOD life. All it takes to start is to find a sport to play or a physical activity that you love! Do you like bike riding in the city? Hiking up a mountain with friends? How about taking a walk with your doggy? These are all great ways to be HEALTHY and STRONG! Take care! Love always, -Mark Sedgwick
