My Lighthouse Philosophy

The lighthouse icon I use is based on a real French wax seal.

Historically, wax seals were used to close letters and official documents—proof that the message was authentic and came directly from the sender. This particular seal features a lighthouse and the French inscription:

the logo and motto for Future Perfect Services

A personal note from Susan

“Ta lumière est ma vie”

— “Your light is my life.”

The saying plus the lighthouse calls to mind love, inspiration, and guidance.

That phrase, to me, speaks to the heart of communication: shining light in dark places. It reminds me why I do this work—whether I’m clarifying executive messages or helping a first-time author find their voice.

The lighthouse symbolizes clarity, guidance, and partnership in editing

The logo behind Future Perfect Services reflects
this same idea.

The stylized lighthouse represents my personal philosophy:
“Don’t hide your light. You never know who you might save.”

As an editor and coach, I help clients see their ideas more clearly—and shine their light into the world with purpose and precision.

I didn’t choose a lighthouse because it’s trendy.
I chose it because that’s who I am.
I stay calm in the fog, shine a light, and help people find their way.
With clarity,
Susan
