Hi, I’m John Marshall. I hope you’re having a great day.

When I was younger, I believed every interaction was an opportunity to either lift someone up or pull them down—so I chose to Be the Light: to spread joy and lift people up—because it lifts us both.

But during my years of active alcoholism, I lost that path. What started as weekend binge drinking turned into a nightly nightmare. It wasn’t until I saw people I admired living clean, intentional lives that I realized I could do it too.

Sobriety reset my perspective. I began to understand the power of presence, of doing the next right thing, and of taking time to reflect each day. I came to see Be the Light not just as a way to help others—but as a path to inner peace.

Moonlight is my way of sharing what I’ve learned. It’s a letter to my past self—the one who didn’t yet know this anxiety-free, purpose-filled life was possible. And more than anything, it’s here to help anyone who needs it.
