You’re not invisible. Even if it feels like it.

There’s a question that’s been tugging at me since a conversation I had yesterday:

Do you ever feel invisible?

Not in a dramatic way. Just quietly… like you’re there, but no one really sees you.

It might happen when you walk into a room and no one greets you. When you're scrolling through your feed and feel like no one notices what you share. Or when life has shifted so much… roles changed, noise increased, that your once bright sparkle has gone quiet.

The woman I spoke with said something that stuck with me. She said, “People used to talk to me. Now I walk into stores, and no one even holds the door.”

She wasn’t angry. Just a little heartbroken. Like the world had started looking past her.

But what struck me was this: in the setting we were in, she was visible. She was vibrant, generous, open. I wanted to talk to her. And it reminded me of a truth I’ve had to relearn again and again:

Visibility isn’t something other people grant you. It’s something you choose to stand in.

Your energy speaks before you do. And when you're carrying the energy of “I don't want to be seen” (even subconsciously), that’s the energy others respond to.

I’ve lived both sides of it. I’ve walked into rooms where no one noticed me. Not because they were unkind, but because I was shrinking. Holding back. Hiding behind fear or comparison or shame.

And I’ve walked into the same rooms, different days, same people… and been met with smiles and open conversations. Because that day, I chose to bring my energy with me.

Not perform. Just show up.

So if you’ve been feeling invisible lately, please hear this: your light didn’t go out. Maybe it just got dusted over from the journey. But it’s still there. Ready to shine. Not because you owe the world a performance, but because your presence makes this world a better place.

Let today be an experiment. Before you go into the next store, coffee shop, Zoom room, or Instagram scroll, pause. Put your hand on your heart. Breathe.

And silently say to yourself:
“I am here. I matter. I bring light with me.”

Then see what happens.

With love,
Vickie

Where have I been dimming my light to stay safe, and what would it feel like to step back into my full presence?
