Today, as I write and schedule this post, it is Nov. 21st, and I am one day away from my first Christmas market of the season. Since I have been even busier planning and organizing for the past two weeks, my level of inspiration is not very high. So, I helped myself and picked an oracle card from my favorite deck, “Gateway Oracle Cards” by Denise Linn. When I saw the card, I smiled and thought it was so obvious that I picked that one, but I was still surprised at how precise the universe is in picking up one’s vibrations.

No, I am not pregnant (that part is over for good). But as some of you may know, I became a grandma in October. This naturally has a strong influence on every aspect of my life. Not only does our little sunshine bring so much joy, but she also changes my worldview and priorities once again. However, there is much more about this card. The message it conveys is so much more significant. Here is how my thoughts got led:

Sometimes, I am struggling with managing everything I am doing. But just before I picked the card, I had a thought that brought so much peace and joy to my heart. I thought of the market this weekend and felt such enthusiasm. Why am I doing what I am doing? Because I want to give something from myself to serve others. This coming weekend, I have the opportunity to connect with many wonderful people and offer something for their well-being. I have the chance to serve others with something I create. How wonderful is that?

And that is what the card wants to tell us. There is something in you that wants to reach the surface and shine for you and for others. There is something in you that wants to be shared. Everybody has something that others benefit from. It can be a talent like painting, making music, writing, or inventing things. Or it is the silent talent of listening, supporting, and encouraging. Perhaps there has been a fire burning within you, but for whatever reason, you have been trying to extinguish it because it didn’t fit your agenda, the general picture, the circumstances, or specific people’s approval. Maybe the time has come to stand up, take the first step, and see where it leads. You don’t need to jump. Just dare to take a small step and check out the air. You can only win! Give birth to that wonderful light only you can bring into this world.

Every big thing starts with a first, but passionate, small step.
You are here to make a difference!

In Love and Light

P.S.
After I wrote this post, I took the cards to put them away. When I turned the deck over, the card on top said: Expecting Miracles. What a wonderful card to follow the first one…
