Our lives tend to become very mechanical and habitual when we get caught up in the day to day realities of surviving from one day to the next. Most of the time we operate in the 'autopilot' mode not taking time to pause and reflect upon what is happening around us. So when my six-year old granddaughter uttered playfully, "Who turned the lights out?" after covering her face with her mother's hat, it made me realize that it is we ourselves who turn the lights out. We spend little time in reflecting and looking beyond our nose.
The inspiration for this print came from the following incident. One day my six-year old granddaughter, Shaela, put her Mom’s hat on her head and practically covered her whole face. Then she started giggling and said, “Who turned the Lights Out?” This sentence of hers struck me like a ton of bricks. It made me think, how often we go through life with blinders on and don’t take the time to reflect or think about what is important and why we are doing what we are doing.

Knowing where one wants to go, setting the goal and focusing on it are important in order to succeed. If one can eliminate distractions and stay focused on a single goal, success is not hard to attain. Sometimes it takes a young six-year old to remind us of this. It is based on a true story.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
