Asking for a Sign: Message Received on 37th Street.

Everything is energy and all things that will come to pass do so in the spiritual realm before they manifest in the physical. So how do we know the spiritual inner work we are doing is in motion? How do we know if it’s working? ASK FOR A SIGN!

Whether it’s finding your space, creating something new or you simply have a question you want answered, before doing major healing work ask for a message to manifest in the physical.

My personal request usually goes something like “Dear Universe, Please give me a clear message that what I’m doing is working and please make it SO obvious I won’t miss it!” In this case, I asked and received more than I could have imagined!

Message Received on 37th Street! 

I was recently extended an invitation to teach a meditation workshop to top-level executive business women in New York City as a part of an innovative business leadership initiative called Breaking Glass. (Remember the name because it directly relates to the “sign” I received.)

My offering for the Breaking Glass Series was Creative Solutions for Clearing Limits. I’d never been to New York so this was truly an exciting opportunity. A new business leadership workshop in the Big Apple! What more could I ask for?

Since the workshop was about clearing limits I definitely had to clear a few limits of my own to teach it. The business aspect alone was daunting. How do you bring meditation to already successful women business leaders? After my first “deer in the headlights, can I do this?” feeling, I grounded and set to work putting together a program.

As with all my energy work, prior to the event, I asked for a sign to show me that it not only was working for the attendees but for myself as well.

The Answer to “Was the Workshop Effective?”

The last night in New York the organizer of the event and I were on our way back to the hotel after dinner and instead of heading to the room we decided to go for a celebratory nightcap. We walked into the bar next to our hotel only to be told they just requested “last call” but the rooftop bar was open. Truth be told if we’d know there was a rooftop bar we would have gone there in the first place so up we went.

The bar had a very cool atrium type (glass) ceiling. Other than what was blocked by the ceiling support beams you could see the New York city skyline through the glass. As we were relaxing and celebrating the success of our combined and individual New York events over a glass of Prosecco the organizer, who also participated in the workshop, told me she had received a letter that day hiring her as an independent consultant to analyze and oversee a large upcoming conference. In many ways this was a dream come true for her. Her emotions ran free and tears started to flow as she (and I) embraced what happened within 24 hours of the workshop.

With tears of joy (for her) in my eyes,  I looked up and saw they were opening the ceiling of the atrium to the night sky. THEY LITERALLY MOVED THE GLASS CEILING! Right in front of us was the lit up Empire State Building against a night sky filled with stars! It was one of the most breathtaking sites I’ve ever seen. The moment was more powerful than I could have imagined. There I was, in New York with the amazing woman who  brought me there, celebrating clearing limits under a limitless night sky with the Empire State Building’s antennae spires pointing to the cosmos. I will also add, the picture I took doesn’t do it justice.

Coincidence? I don’t think so. Too many things had to happen to get us to that very place at that very moment. Every decision we made that night lead us to see what we needed to see to acknowledge our journey. It showed us there are no limits because we can simply clear them. Move them aside. Release them.

The message was loud and clear, acknowledged and received. Although the results of the workshop are still unfolding, the sign I asked for showed itself in grand fashion. I call this, for lack of a better word, a miracle but perhaps the miracle on 37th street was no miracle at all. Perhaps it was simply showing us there are no limits except for the ones we hold on to.

Keep doing the inner work you’re doing. Ask for a sign that it’s working even if the true results take time to manifest. Everything is energy. There are limitless possibilities and yes, there are signs that will show you in bright lights there are miracles yet to unfold.~Shine Your Light Debbie

Sunrise over Lake Michigan

Live in the Shadows or Live in the Light: It’s Your Choice…..

Sunrise over Lake MichiganIT’S YOUR CHOICE

Each day we have a choice to make. We can choose to live a caged up life full of tangles and snares. We can choose to live in the shadows or we can choose something different. We can choose to live in open space,  in and under the light. We can choose to step out of the shadows, to fully embrace life, and allow the light to free us from our burdens. It is a choice to step out and see beauty and joy in the sunrise, or to stay in bed nestled safely in our covers.

Although it seems like an easy choice, it takes courage and strength to step out of the cage and often times we just need a little inspiration from others to help us along….

The picture you see posted was taken by my friend Tom Camacho. Tom runs daily at 4:30am and if you’re asking why he is committed to getting up before dawn to run super long distances it’s because one day he decided to step out of his cage of tangles and snares. It’s because he is passionate about running to support Special Olympics and now specifically for a young man named Gavin in a program called I Run 4. I Run 4 is an organization that matches runners with those who physically can’t.

The mental and emotional encouragement for both runner and honorary runner provides a new level of motivation and awareness. Runners are able to find a whole new sense of purpose in their running while sharing who they are running for and bringing awareness to diseases and disabilities of all types. (Please take a moment to watch the video at the end of this post)

Tom allows his passion to guide him as runs in the morning light. He shares his adventures with his honorary running buddy Gavin and all of us, in pictures (like the beautiful sunrise in this post) and in daily video reports from Boris Antonio Snowtiger. He inspires us to get out and do what we can to support those who are physically or emotionally challenged. He shows us the rising sun and inspires us to do what we once thought we could not and the best part is our inspiration is HIS inspiration. That’s how it works!

So, you can live a life caged in tangles and “what if’s” or you can be free to see and be a part of a sunrise. Sometimes it just takes someone showing us the light to help us choose. We get to choose to live in the shadows or live in the light. It’s our choice and it’s a choice we must make each and every day. What will you choose?~Shine Your Light Debbie
