Twinkle, twinkle little star, you light the darkness from afar…

In this vast universe of many galaxies, we are but a small blip on the radar. We are merely a pinpoint of light in our own galaxy yet there are times when our personal world feels larger than life, unmanageable and out of control. It is those dark, out of control times when it’s time to our realign yourself and find a star to light your way.

Everything that happens in life happens for a reason even if you don’t see what it is at first. It might take years before you put together the pieces of the puzzle but when you are finally able to fit those pieces together you find clarity and understanding. Clarity and understanding is only the beginning. Just like everything else understanding why is a process of clearing which leads to self forgiveness and healing.

When you are ready to heal you see a twinkling star in the darkness and experience the world as a bright magical place. When you are ready to heal you forgive yourself and call back your energy and power. When you are ready to heal you allow inspiration to guide you and end identifying with yourself as a victim. When you are ready to heal you free yourself from the past and take a stand in the present. When you are ready to heal you reconnect with your childlike spirit who at one time, looked up and wondered what the beautiful twinkling light is in the sky….Inside of you is that innocent child who sees the world with wonder and finds magic in a simple flower along the path. Is it time to heal your inner child and have a play date or two? Is it time to let go of a past full of memories that no longer serve your highest good? Only you can answer the question; Are you ready to heal?

The twinkling star in the sky lights your way and is there to remind you that you are not alone in the world. A twinkling star reminds you that there is a beautiful spark of light inside you. There is inspiration and light all around you when you are ready to see it. While it is true all your answers lie within, every now and again we need to look up, give our inner child a hug and point out the twinkling lights.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are. How I wonder what you are.”
~Jane Taylor 1806 (English Poet)

Did you know there are 7 verses to that song? Full of wonder, full of light, full of passion in full sight. You once saw the world through innocent eyes full of hope. You can have that back when you are ready to heal. Connect with your inner child. See how they are doing and give them a hug. Find the star that lights your way and….~Shine Your Light~Debbie

Invent Your Life!

Have you ever been told (or told yourself) ’you can’t do…(something)’ or this is just the way life is? It might be followed by a reason like you’re too old, too young, too fat, too thin, not good enough or my personal favorite; This is who you are and you can’t change your lot in life. If so, it’s time to re-invent your thoughts about what you can do, the life you can create and who you can be!

You know what you want and how you would like to design your life. You are the inventor and creator! YOU are the one who has the ability to create or re-invent yourself. Do you show your amazing invention with the world? Does someone other than you hold the patent for your life? Is the patent pending, waiting for someone else’s approval?

As the inventor of your life you get to choose the direction you take and the ‘parts’ you want to include. No one can infringe on your creation unless you allow them to. You hold a patent that doesn’t need anyone else’s approval.

So often the focus is on all those things we want and don’t have or the things we wish to create yet we ‘but’ them to death with excuses as to why we can’t do it. Oh yes, the big BUT! Can you imagine what life would be like if the great inventors in history said ‘but it’s never been done, but it won’t work, but there’s no time, but it’s always been done this way, but this is just the way I am’. If they listened to all the naysayers who laughed at their ideas we certainly wouldn’t have cars, airplanes or telephones let alone the internet. These inventors had courage, strength of conviction, curiosity to try something new and the passion to keep trying. If one way didn’t work, they would try another; re-inventing until their creation finally came out as they dreamed it would.

Your life is an ongoing invention. The beauty of it is that you get to invent and re-invent yourself each day if you allow your curiosity and zest for life lead you. Give your dreams a voice and take the steps necessary to make them real. Listen to your inner voice to give you direction. Allow your creativity to flow. Raise your vibration and having-ness. Find healthy ways to heal your mind, body, spirit & soul.

“And in the end it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”~Abraham Lincoln

You have the ability to turn your life around by creating it every day. You re-invent your life by living the life YOU want regardless of your past or what anyone has said you can or can’t do AND you are only limited by your imagination. Put life in your years and ENJOY your creation! ~Shine Your Light Debbie

Life is a BEACH are you Having Fun?

While walking along a quaint little street in Cape May New Jersey I came across a bed & breakfast that had these shells on the fence. Each shell had a different saying and when I saw the one you see on this blog it reminded me, as I hope it will remind you, that although there are times of challenge and growth, life really is like a beach and you get to play in the sand!

So many times we get caught up in day-to-day challenges, worrying about the future, or trying to resolve the past we forget to have FUN! Life is cyclical like the ebb and flow of the tides. Sometimes there are storms that churn the waters and destroy those beautiful sandcastles you’ve built. You can dwell on the destruction or you can choose to notice that the sand you built them with is still there. It is merely smoothed out so you can build a bigger and better sandcastle!

What if every day you went to the beach to play in the sand? Do you approach each day looking forward to it as much as you look forward to a vacation? Do you watch with neutrality & amusement and stand your ground as the waves hit the shore or do you get swept out to sea?

There is so much life to experience, so why not have fun doing it? If you haven’t been having much fun these days, why not? Where is your attention? Are you remembering to have fun? If you’re not having any fun it’s time to explore how you choose to view your beach. Do you see it as a place with sand that gets everywhere constantly needing to be brushed off or a place to create sand castles?

Are the impending storms a thing of beauty or is there fear of the destruction? Are you protecting your beach and hanging on so successfully that there are limits to having fun or what you can build? While life isn’t always a bed of roses, you were born on this earth, at this particular time, for a reason. If you consider each moment a learning experience and let go of the stuff that doesn’t feel good you will soon be having fun and playing in the sand again.

It is that which you hold on to and how you choose to experience it that makes the difference. You can’t contain the ocean or control the weather. The sun rises and sets each day. There is flow and movement whether you want it or not. You can fight the waves and struggle or you can play in the sand. You can explore the coral reefs or you can be swallowed up by the waters.

Life is indeed a beach! Choose to play in the sand and build sand castles. Choose to let go of those things you have no control over, learn from them and experience life playing and having fun in the sand. Life isn’t a ‘bitch’ it’s a BEACH and I’m just playing in the sand. How about you?~Shine Your Light Debbie

~ The Zen of Snow~

Today marked the first snowfall of 2010 in Chicago. From the time I was little I’ve always found a great deal of peace and joy in the snow. I couldn’t wait to get outside with my camera and go for a run in the park.

I love to listen to the sound of my footsteps as they crunch through the snow. The snow brings me happiness & joy in its simplicity. It brings back a playfulness that as I discovered seemed to affect those I met as well. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE I passed took a moment to smile, look me in the eye, say hello!

It became clear when I arrived in the park that my experience would go beyond going for a run and taking some photos to share with my friends around the globe. There is a message in the snow….

There is an energy of delight as the little flakes fly through the air and blanket the ground in angelic purity. The snow cleanses the air we breathe and sounds are muted as it innocently falls to earth. There is a sense of calm and elegance as the once bare trees now dressed in a hint of white stand tall to show off, in a sense, and tell us they are still very much alive.

The snow creates a winter wonderland. A magical place to walk, play and become a child again. It reminds us for a moment of the beauty in a storm, and brings alive the very landscape in twinkling glory.

The snow is playful as it dances through the air as if to say catch me if you can! And can we do! You can’t help but stick your tongue out to catch one of those little flakes. You might even be tempted to lie down and make a snow angel just for fun!

Simply being in a winter wonderland brings you into present time. You see your surroundings in a new light as they are at that very moment in time! Your troubles melt away and once your sense of play takes over…you might even make a little snow girl (like mine in the pic) or BIG snowman with a button nose and two eyes of coal!

The snow in its delicate simplicity blankets the land, comforts and brings a message of peace, calm and living in the present. It reminds us that living in the present and at peace; Happiness, joy and creativity flourish!

Find peace within to flourish! Make a snowman! Build a sandcastle! Hug a tree! Jump in a mud puddle! Grow your inner joy and be at peaceful oneness with YOU!~Shine Your Light Debbie

The Accidental Tourist~The 6 degrees of CONNECTION:)

Image via Wikipedia

There is nothing ‘accidental’ about the situations and people you meet throughout your life. Everything and every ONE has a purpose and each person has crossed paths for a reason. The 6 degrees of Separation theory is about how connected we are. What fascinates me is how those connections can and often do shape our lives!

Last month I took a journey into the realm of relationships by offering a special reading on the subject. Honestly I thought I’d be reading about love. What I discovered had more to do with RELATING and CONNECTIONS.

Initially it seemed simple. You meet someone, you connect, you are relating. The connections I’m referring to go beyond that of a lover or friend. Everyone has a very unique and different relationship with the people in their lives so how do those connections affect others?

What I found most interesting was the crossing of paths. I am now very clear this is no accident. I admit that Facebook played a part as my journey into ‘relating’ expanded. On an energetic level I began to look at those seemingly chance encounters that may have played a bigger part than one might think.

Here’s where it gets interesting. I began to discover connections that happened well before I ever met the person. At first glance, it seemed like coincidence but then I realized there were so many instances of 2 people knowing each other prior to my connection with either of them that I was hard pressed to dismiss this as mere coincidence.

Example: I noticed mutual friends in my FB friends list. When I asked how they knew each other, it turned out that they dated well before I ever knew either one of them. OK big deal right? BUT we move in completely different circles and met years later in unrelated places.

Another example is my cousin coming into town to work on a movie. I hadn’t seen her in at least 10 years as she lives and works in California. I was driving her around and she needed something on set so instead of just few short errands and back to the hotel I ended up on the movie set, This led to meeting someone, a Harley ride on a beautiful night in Chicago and finding unconditional love in my heart.

Although I am no longer with said man listed above we are friends, I still love him unconditionally and before meeting him I didn’t know it was really possible to love someone without expectations or conditions. Incidentally, shortly after we met my cousin left the job and went back to CA. I’ve always thought that the real reason she came here was to introduce us.

Think of how many things have to happen to put you in a certain place at a certain time to meet a certain person or have a chance encounter with someone who then passed through your life like a tourist on vacation.

The chance encounters of people you don’t even know yet could actually be part of bringing a new friend, a beautiful lesson or very special person into your life! There is no real answer here other than paying attention to how the ‘tourists’ who have passed through have affected or shaped your life in ways that were not revealed at the time.

I’m reminded me of George Baily in “It’s a Wonderful Life” when Clarence shows him how life would have been if he hadn’t been there. He touched and affected the lives of everyone he knew.

Whether it is through our 6 degrees of connection or how we directly affect the lives of those we hold in our hearts each one of us is valuable and touches MANY lives!~Shine Your Light Debbie

THE MAGIC WITHIN!

ONCE UPON A TIME a long, long time ago, when we were little people growing, learning and exploring our world there was magic and play. We were told fairy tales which could be considered if you think about it our first lessons about energy! Stories from all over the world have been told time and time again. We continue to share favorites with our children.

Many of these stories have been adapted and transformed so that we can not only read them but completely be enveloped by them as we watch brilliantly animated, staged or musical versions. Each time we read or watch it brings a smile to our faces, allows us to hope & dream and brings out our inner child! We experience again that sense of play and PURE MAGIC!

One of my favorites was Cinderella. I’m sure that is no surprise to anyone who knows me! Specifically the 1964 Rogers & Hammerstein TV playhouse Cinderella. In this musical version the two songs that stick in my mind are “In my own little corner” and “Impossible”. The first one is that when you are in your own little corner “you can be whatever you want to be!” In the second “impossible for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage…” and finishes with “it’s possible”. As I would dance around singing these favorite songs, there was never a question in my mind that you CAN be whatever you want to be and that EVERYTHING is possible!

In fairy tales we learn how the power of love and a kiss can awaken us. We learn that the energy within is what makes you beautiful not the appearance of being a frog or an ogre. We also learn that when you live your life from your truth and inner spirit it shatters any limits placed upon you. Cinderella was NOT a victim and could marry the prince! Shrek could find his princess and Fiona her one true love! Rapunzel could escape her tower to find her blinded price and restore his sight with the love in her tears.

One of the absolute MASTERS of visual magic was Walt Disney. He not only transformed these fairy tales but made them real. Through his vision of magic we smile, dream, believe in Fairies & Princes, we can fly, find answers within our magic bag and that spirit watches over us.We can go to Infinity and Beyond (Toy Story), triumph over evil, go to the jungles of Africa (Jungle Book), visit China (Mulan) or England (The Sword & The Stone) and we even find out the wonderful thing about Tiggers! We see the eyes of our children light up as they watch those amazing stories unfold before their eyes!

So when was the last time YOUR eyes lit up? When was the last time you felt playful and magical or allowed your inner child to come out and play? Have you danced by the light of the moon…or maybe even howled at it recently?! Hugged a tree? Kissed a frog? (if you are single trust me on that last one! ) Jumped in a puddle? Made a snow angel? Have you swung on a swing? If you haven’t done any of that for a while, why not? You have all of it inside you just waiting to come out again!

Turning your attention within to find your sense of magic and play can transform your life! Like Cinderella in her own little corner meditating, you can be whatever you want to be! When you meditate you step out of the drama of daily life. When you choose to find your playful self, it is a vacation in Disneyland!

When was the last time you said hello to your vibrant inner child and gave them a hug? Sometimes YOU need YOU to do that! No need to play hide and go seek! Your spirit is already PURE MAGIC and full of play! Why not ask yourself to come out and play for a moment!

Here’s something to make you smile…repeat after me and click the link that follows! “I won’t grow up!” Really! It’s OK! All the stuff you are worried about will still be there when you are done but maybe…just MAYBE, after playing, you will see things in a different light and LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER! THE END…. Or is it really a new beginning? :-) Shine your magic light!~Debbie

Playing in YOUR SANDBOX: )

Remember when you were little and you got to play in the sand? Whether it was the beach or your sandbox all you needed was a small shovel, bucket, maybe some water and your imagination! Your socks and shoes were thrown off so your little toes could just squish into that fun sand. You could create whatever you wanted and there was a feeling of pure joy with the experience. It didn’t matter who was watching, or if your castle had a moat. It was really FUN if you could get someone to bury in it! You would create something then destroy it because you had the certainty that the next thing you created would be even better! There was magic in that sandbox! You were in a world of your own imagination building your dream! It could be simple or intricate but nonetheless it was YOURS….AND there were NO LIMITS!

For me there were giggles, wiggling toes and sunshine! The sandbox was a HAPPY place where I could create something, destroy it, then create something new. It didn’t have to be perfect, I was not limited to one thing our another. In my sandbox everything was FUN and POSSIBLE! To this day I love going to the beach. I find it very healing to walk in the sand barefoot and just listen to the water gently lapping against the shore. There is an awareness about me. It’s about feeling the sensations, being in the body and having my space. It still delights me to create in the sand! My mind goes a mile a minute with the infinite possibilities!

What would you say if I told you that LIFE, specifically YOUR LIFE, was really like that sandbox? A place to have FUN, grow, create and re-create at will and there were no LIMITS to what you could do and accomplish! What if every grain of sand represented a moment in time and when all put together makes you who you are…..A creative, spiritual being having a human experience. Each grain of sand IS a moment and you can use those grains to grow, change and create yet another masterpiece. Gets you to thinking doesn’t it?

It’s amazing to me how many people I read that have been invalidated and had limits placed on wanting to play in their sandbox. How’s YOUR sandbox these days? Is it a fun place? Are you limited in the what, where or how you create? Is there something you’d like to do but there’s a little voice in your head that says “hahaha you can’t do THAT”! Is there something in the back of your mind you’ve really wanted to do but keep it in the back of your mind? If so, you may have had a limit placed on you! Perhaps at 3 when you said you wanted to be an astronaut, policeman, fireman etc. you were patting on the head and told ”that’s nice” sweetheart. Mom & Dad thought it was cute and then went on to imagine what THEY wanted for you. A more realistic life. My personal favorite is about having it ALL! Of course you can’t have it ALL! Maybe you can have a little piece every now and then but for sure you can’t have it all at the same time! Well…..WHY NOT?

One of the challenges I have in writing a blog is how many different directions I can go with it. I open a plethora of pictures and try to stay focused! For the purpose of THIS blog I want to address the limits that are either placed on us or that we place on ourselves. In many ways, the current economy has forced some of us to re-evaluate what it is that we are doing, expand our creativity and even takes steps to follow that “dream” in the back of our minds. What I see in present time are people searching for HOW to blow out the limits and go in a different direction! Although perhaps forced to do it by circumstance it seems to me that just about EVERYONE is now taking some sort of step to find their answers, clear the limits and begin anew to create the BEST sandcastle ever! What great news!

So, each moment is a grain of sand. It’s what you do with each moment that builds your creation! Every experience, good or bad, allows you to grow & learn. Is your focus and intent centered on your imagination and what lies within or is it on outside circumstances (limits) that you can’t do anything about? Are you building your sandcastle? Are you playing and having FUN in your sandbox? Why not take a moment right now to imagine what it would be like to ~PLAY IN YOUR SANDBOX OF LIFE~ How would it feel to build the most glorious castle ever?!

Now is the time to let go of the limits! Begin to dream of your glorious sand castles! What would your life look like? Feel like? See the details, smile inside as you imagine those grains of sand coming together. No dream is too big! Feel the sand under your feet in your sandbox! Wiggle your toes and bask in the sunshine of your dream! Sprinkle your sand castle with a bit of gold fairy dust, show it to the universe and then allow it to float off so that it can come back to you with ease! There’s no effort in this! Each moment in time is a grain of sand that makes you who you are! Singularly separate, yet all ”packed” together is YOUR beautiful creation!

Light, Love & Abundance to all~Debbie

SIMON SAYS! WHO IS ‘SIMON’ ANYWAY?

Remember the game “Simon Says” from when you were a child? Follow these steps just for fun! Come on it’s just a game:-) Simon says raise your left hand. Simon says put your hands on your hips. Simon says touch your toes. Simon says touch your nose. Simon says clap your hands. Simon says blink your eyes. Touch your head. Simon says wiggle your toes. Simon says “say HOORAH!” Wasn’t that fun?! :-) Did you do everything Simon said? Maybe you found it silly or perhaps it made you smile to think of how it fun it was when you were little!

Now let me ask you something….did you touch your head? Did Simon say to do it? Of course if you didn’t touch your head OK, you know the game! If you did touch your head, well it’s just a game isn’t it? Or is it? Practically from the time you are born you are “taught” to follow the rules, do what you’re told, mind your manners, don’t speak until you are spoken to etc. You have to ask permission to do something or someone has to tell you to do it before you do. Now of course, this is good for children but what happens when that energy carries over to your adult life?

The game Simon Says is actually a good example of programming and how it can control YOU. Simon, the control, tells you to do something and you do it. If Simon doesn’t say it…well, YOU LOST. You failed! You’re out of the game! No one WANTS to lose and not be a part of the game anymore! After all, your FRIENDS are still playing and YOU lost! Early on you figure out that the next time you play the game, all you have to do is make sure that you don’t do ANYTHING unless Simon Says you should do it.

Do you or did you have a “Simon” in your life? Are you waiting for Simon to say you can DO something? Or the flip side….are you spending so much time responding to all the rules and responsibility heaped upon you that you forget about creating your dream? Do you have a passion for something but find yourself waiting until….(you fill in the rest there)? Did someone at some point in your life tell you “YOU CAN’T DO THAT”? Are you waiting to be validated for your brilliant idea before you move forward with it? More importantly did you follow someone else’s “rules” about how your life should be up to this point?

Perhaps you answered “yes” to one or more of those questions. Well, I don’t know who Simon is but from a clairvoyant perspective I see controls and programming at work all the time. Many of the people I read are living their lives as “they are supposed to”. Think about it this way, did anyone ever say to you “you’re out of control!” Now I ask you whose control are you out of? Can you imagine how my parents would have reacted if I responded to the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” with “I WANT TO BE A CLARIVOYANT HEALER!” Call me kooky but I’m pretty much thinking that might not have gone over too well!

When you become aware of and release the “Simon says” pictures that are indeed a part of all of us, you begin to heal the part of you that stops you from being who you truly are. The more of your own energy you bring in, and the more you focus on your own dreams….the more can create!

A wonderful friend of mine, Hemal Radia, Manifesting & Law of Attraction, has written this lovely quote “When we are doing what we are doing for the love of doing it, very present moment oriented, we are creating magic.” There’s a lot of truth in those words. When you become your own “Simon”, you can create your own magic! Follow your dreams & passions and come alive with the possibilities! Do what you love for the love of doing it, not because it’s what you “should” do. There is no time like the present to take a moment, look inside yourself and find your magic! If you’re having a challenge with this…I’ll help you out:-) SIMON SAYS FIND YOUR MAGIC!

As always, you are free to post your comments here, send an email with your questions, Debra@Spiritlightinsight.com and/or visit my website Spiritlightinsight.com Shine your light! Debbie
