Memorial Day in the United States has changed from its civil war roots originally called Decoration Day. It has become a day for honoring those who serve(d) in the armed forces. This is a day to put aside any judgement about war and honor those who fought (and are still fighting) bravely. It is time to pause and reflect upon the true meaning of Memorial Day and not just consider this day as the unofficial start of summer.

It is a sad truth that war exists but it does. It is a part of history in almost every country. Whether it be a civil war, the fight for freedom, human rights or against tyranny there are those who step up and take on the duty of serving and protecting. There are many reasons men and women join the armed forces but the fact remains they are stepping up with the knowledge that they might have to go into battle at some point. They step up when they KNOW they could lose their lives. Even those who were drafted in years past fought for their lives and ours. Many paid the price and made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom.

War is not pretty and leaves a mark on everyone and everything it touches; Soldiers, family, friends and the countries where the wars take place. It leaves a mark on each one of us as we watch with horror from our homes. Saying thank you isn’t enough. One day of honor and memorial isn’t enough. Mere words are not enough nor is placing flowers or a flag on a gravestone but it is all we can do.

To those who have put their lives on the line for us; To those who put their lives on the line to help others be free; To the families of those who lost their lives in the line of duty let us say thank you. Let us honor this day and give thought to the meaning of memorial day and how our lives have changed because of these brave souls who took on the huge responsibility of defending our country and fighting for democracy and freedom all over the world.

We honor you and thank you for your service. We honor those who lost their lives and pray that those who fought and returned find love and peace in their hearts again. We say thank you and pray for the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We say thank you and honor each and every person who stepped up to sign up. We say thank you and honor those who were drafted. On this memorial day please join me in a moment of silence to honor, say thank you and send out the vibration of gratitude, appreciation and peace to our veterans past and present. It is with the utmost respect, gratitude and appreciation that we say THANK YOU for your service! You ARE appreciated and words are simply not enough…..~Shine Your Light Debbie

Today is ‘the ring of fire’ new moon solar eclipse! Are you ready? Ready or not eclipses have the power to literally ‘eclipse out’ things in your life that no longer serve you, freeing up your valuable time and energy.

They also mark the beginning of something new. Today is a great day to clear the fog, re-gain your footing, set new intentions, create new opportunities and open your mind to limitless possibilities!

Everyone is being affected by this particular cosmic event and it may feel like you are on information overload. While I am not an astrologer I do read energy and in the days leading up to this particular eclipse I’ve been contacted by many who are experiencing disturbing dreams and unfounded fears as well as a seemingly abrupt awakening. The truth is showing itself and it can be unnerving and disconcerting when it does.

Since an eclipse is always about endings and beginnings you may find clarity about past events and you may decide to embark upon a new path. With every “step up” comes a letting go and there is a grieving process which is a natural part of the process. As you find clarity during this powerful time the answers you seek and those people or situations which are not in alignment with your path will become obvious. An eclipse will magnify and in essence show you the ‘cracks’ (and what seeped into those cracks) in your foundation. This is a great time to end those chapters of your life (resolve issues or agreements from the past), fill in and seal up the cracks (with love and forgiveness for yourself and others), and allow the power of the eclipse to propel you forward into your new beginning!

Clarity is not only about seeing what has passed so you can resolve past issues. It is about seeing with clarity those things you wish to create. Having a clear picture of where you want to go and what you want to do helps you build a foundation for the future and there is no better time than today to harness the power of the eclipse to help you do that!

There are many more astrological aspects to this eclipse but I’ll leave those to the wonderful star gazers and astrologers out there. The information presented is for you to know that eclipses cause abrupt awakenings and transformations so if you’ve felt ‘off’ and overwhelmed you are not alone! Take comfort in the fact that this to shall pass and you have a lot to look forward to from this day forward! Use today’s powerful conjunction of the new moon solar eclipse in Gemini plus the alignment with the Pleiades to open new doors. Set your intentions for doors to open, new opportunities to present themselves and beautiful new beginnings!~Shine Your Light Debbie
