It is about the treasure, the times of beauty that shine and shimmer in a day, the experiences that make your heart swell; these are the glints of gold. They can be experienced in a multitude of ways as one can see, hear, smell and touch these golden moments. They can be unexpected and best of all anyone can BE a glint of gold.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This story begins with a powerful statement, \u201cit\u2019s there every day if you look for it. The glint of gold\u201d. This knowledge empowers readers to be aware of the possibility, it is a timely reminder to take the time to be in the moment, to observe and be open to feel the beauty that exists and surrounds us every day. Whether this is in the form of gifts in nature (a blossoming tree or perhaps a sunset filled with an awe inspiring colour palette), an act of kindness or connecting with others. The reader then follows an insightful young girl on a journey as she shares her experiences with glints of gold she encounters throughout her day and she demonstrates how she tries to be a glint of gold in the lives of others. She also shares her observations about the ways she sees her family members being glints of gold. The story closes with her family sharing their glints of gold from the day, expressing gratitude for them and having the peace of mind to know that a new day will bring new opportunities for more gold to be discovered.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1013 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-Glint-of-Gold-p4-5-xxx.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"798\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-Glint-of-Gold-p4-5-xxx.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-Glint-of-Gold-p4-5-xxx-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-Glint-of-Gold-p4-5-xxx-768x381.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1014\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-Glint-of-Gold-p6-7-xxx.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"795\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-Glint-of-Gold-p6-7-xxx.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-Glint-of-Gold-p6-7-xxx-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-Glint-of-Gold-p6-7-xxx-768x383.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This story is timely as the world navigates the constantly changing and evolving situation with COVID.
