    Light Around Us

    Heaven isn't as far away as it sometimes feels. It's not a distant place beyond the stars—it's simply a higher frequency of light, a higher vibration of existence that our physical eyes aren't tuned to see.

    Think about this: the light we perceive every day—the colors of a sunset, the sparkle in a loved one's eyes—is only a tiny sliver of the full electromagnetic spectrum. Our eyes can detect less than 0.0035% of all light that exists around us. That means over 99.9965% of the light and energy in the universe is invisible to us right now.

    Yet it's still there—radio waves carrying music through the air, infrared warmth from a hug, ultraviolet rays from the sun, all humming at frequencies we can't see but that are very real and very close.

    In the same way, our friends, family, and beloved animal companions who've crossed over are still near. They're vibrating at a higher frequency of light and love, right here among us, surrounding us with their presence, energy, and care. We may not see them with these physical eyes, but that doesn't mean they're gone. They're just in a realm beyond our current visual range—closer than we realize, always connected through the vast, beautiful spectrum of existence.

    So when you feel a sudden warmth, a gentle breeze with no wind, or that quiet knowing in your heart... that's them. Heaven isn't far. It's woven into the very light all around you.

    If you’ve tried to communicate with your animal and walked away feeling like you failed, you are not alone. This is one of the most common experiences people share with me and it is almost never what they think it is.

    What It Feels Like to Receive a Message from Heaven

    Someone asked me recently: What does it actually feel like, Debbie, in the moment a message comes through? Not what it says. Not what heaven looks like. Just what does it feel like?
