HOPE – Page 27 – Daily Muse

The universe sometimes works in strange ways to make a point! If you look around you with awareness in the midst of a seemingly chaotic or ‘dark’ moment in time, you may indeed find clarity and the reason for it.

This very thing happened to me yesterday and when I say ‘dark’ I mean it! Due to some error in a billing system my electricity was cut off with no notification. Talk about powerless!

I won’t go into the details of the panic I felt but suffice it to say that after several phone calls and a wait time of over 25 mins to actually speak to a human being at Com Ed I was told they would restore my service. Great! WAIT! Not so great…it would be restored in 1-3 days!

OK now the panic really DID set in! I went into complete survival mode until I realized it was something called an energy whack. That’s when you get hit with energy trying to stop you cold in your tracks. It stops you from shining and takes you off your path….but only for a moment. 🙂

An energy whack occasionally comes in when you are on the RIGHT path, SHINING brightly AND you are about to take a giant step in growth! The bigger the energy hit, the brighter you shine once it clears! It doesn’t necessarily mean you are doing something wrong. It could mean you are doing everything RIGHT!

Knowing this I decided to make lemonade out of lemons. After bringing everything in the fridge & freezer to a friend’s house I defrosted the freezer. Not that I had much of a choice, but it made me feel better immediately!

Then I noticed the QUIET! I was there with myself and all was silent. I also realized that at least for the night, I had to rely on myself and do the things I had planned in the first place. This meant packing up my laptop and heading over to Starbucks.

Looking around there were people in their own little worlds owning a space. I grounded and owned MY space. No one bothered me as I happily perused Facebook, took care of emails and scheduled appointments. About mid evening, the atmosphere changed.

It became a meeting place for 2 Italian gentlemen speaking in dialect, a couple dating, a father & daughter. An older gentleman who was very professor-like was sitting next to me and his friend walked in asking him “who created God?”

You KNOW I had to jump in on that one! We had a wonderful conversation about God, Faith and creation. I delighted in their viewpoints and they took to heart mine. As I packed up to go, they told me they enjoyed the chat and hoped that I would come in again to see them.

As I walked back home I couldn’t help but smile at the beautiful energy created in that conversation. I had completely forgotten I was coming home to total darkness. I would have never been at Starbucks or experienced that connection if the lights were on. 🙂

When I arrived home the ‘quiet’ of the darkness penetrated my very soul. I lit candles and realized it was one of the most peaceful and literally enchanting moments I’ve experienced in a long time! There I was, just me, my thoughts and the calm of the night.

The quiet that surrounded me was inside and I found clarity in that silence. There was no brain chatter, no distraction, all was calm, I couldn’t DO anything but BE with ME. As I sat staring at the candle flame, I was silent and at peace. I reflected on the events of the day and realized the gift I had been given.

The next time you suddenly feel like you’ve been hit by a truck or as if the rug was pulled out from under your feet look for the gift you were given by the experience. And by all means if the power goes out remember…YOU are never powerless!~Shine Your Light Debbie

Life has a funny way of taking twists and turns, moving us away from the true adventure we seek. Think about it for a moment.

What is your passion? What exciting adventure would you like to go on? Ask yourself if you are choosing to take the journey and live it? Are you on an exciting adventure now?

Twists and turns are all those things that take our attention off what we truly would like to do. In my humble opinion, life SHOULD be an adventure of our own choosing! Once you choose to take your journey, be ready and aware. Your adventure may hold some surprises you hadn’t accounted for. 🙂

When you were little you had adventures every day! You had dreams, used your imagination and created a whole new reality by merely putting a blanket over your shoulders, calling it a cape and transforming into a prince, princess or super hero saving the world.

You imagined going on a bear hunt or safari, you were the bell of the ball or the best ballet dancer that ever lived. Picking a daisy and giving it to your Mom was pure happiness and joy! You really didn’t think of that pretty yellow flower as a weed.

You drew pictures of your life, dreamt of castles and maybe even told wonderful stories in great detail about BEING an adventurer and what you discovered along the way.

As a child you did these things every day. Each day you woke up ready to discover the world. You saw new things and found delight in watching the monkeys at the zoo. There was aways something new to find, see, experience and imagine.

When was the last time you greeted each day as a new adventure? What if your attention and awareness was tuned to living a life full of passion and creating? What if the responsibilities of ‘life’ didn’t get in the way of you imagining and living your dream? Are you choosing an exciting adventure and watching it unfold around you?

You have the ability to choose your adventure and decide how you live each day. Imagine your adventure in detail. Visualize how it feels to spread your wings and fly to where ever you want to go!

Choose to have love, joy and happiness a part of your adventure! Once you shift your focus you are actually embarking on an adventure of your choosing!

Consider each day an adventure of a lifetime with things to discover, miracles to unfold and gifts to open! Choose to live a life of your OWN choosing.

Imagine what it will feel like to awaken each morning to an exciting new day then choose to do it and make it so!~Shine Your Light Debbie
