About this ebook
You designed this journey on planet Earth before you were born, and you left yourself a map and a guidance system for what you wanted to experience in this lifetime. This map is written in your dreams and desires, in the patterns of your family experience, your body, and your name. Your guidance system is encoded in your feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. You chose to come to planet Earth to play, manage, and create with universal energy. You are a creator in training. When you were born, you set an intention to experience a variety of circumstances in your life that would facilitate the learning and expansion you want to accomplish during this lifetime.
You are guided moment to moment to live the life that you have designed for yourself, and you will know when you are on track by what you notice, by what grabs your attention. Working in partnership with Spirit, your job is to get clear about and ask for what you want. Your longings and desires are clues about what wants to be born and expressed through you.
Your perspective is your unique gift to the world. I now invite you to go on this journey with me and explore your world through your eyes!

Acknowledgments
I would like to thank my husband, Barry, from the bottom of my heart, for his continual love and support of my ideas, adventures and explorations of anything and everything to do with spirit, the universe and the on-going creation of my experiences on this planet. You are my rock!
Two of the greatest joys of my life are my children. They have kept me honest and authentic on my journey here and with the writing of Signs, Signals and Clues. I so admire and am inspired by their commitment to their own creative journey, Michelle as a singer-songwriter and Kris as a visual artist. Thank you, Kris, for the wonderful drawings that you provided for Signs, Signals and Clues and Michelle, for the beautiful song you wrote in honor of this book.
Many thanks to my focus group: Michelle Carter, Ingrid Moerman, Arlene Soloman, and Heather White. Your combined experience, wisdom and practical, loving feedback kept me focused on the task at hand, especially at times when I felt like giving up.
To my twin cousin, Maion Davidson (our Moms were twins, married best friends on the same day and we were born on the same day, nine months later!): Many thanks for your generosity in allowing me to share a couple of your stories and for always being there for me.
To my sister, Ingrid: Many thanks for your continued love and inspiring support as I moved through this project and for allowing me to share your story.
My heartfelt thanks to Steve MacDonald at the University of Santa Monica for all the practical support and guidance he provided as I was completing this project. His patience, expertise and wisdom as a writer helped me to appreciate and share what I had to offer.
To Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick: Thank you for providing such a rich environment for giving birth to this project.
To my project team: Giselle Paquet, Melanie Real and Harpreet Vitale: Thank you for listening to the stories of my trials and tribulations on the journey of writing this book, for not buying into the stories and for your encouragement in keeping me on task with the completion of this book.
To the staff at Balboa Press, particularly Heather Perry, Brandon G., Andrea Geasey and Matthew Haynes: Many thanks for your patience and support in answering my many questions and helping to move my book forward.
To all the people I have had the privilege of working with: for opening up your hearts and being willing to be vulnerable with me while we explored your souls` journey. I have learned so much from each of you.
And last but not least to my own guides, Spirit, the universe. It`s so much more fun not doing this journey alone. Thank you for the signs, signals and clues you send me on a daily basis and for inspiring me to create this book.
Introduction
Why did I want to write this book? I wanted you to feel in charge of your life, to realize that you have options—that you have the power to create the life that you designed before coming here. I want you to have fun looking for and using the clues. I want you to know that there’s a much easier way to live life.
Over the past twenty-five years, I’ve had the privilege of working with many people from all walks of life through my various roles at a crisis and counseling center, in a victim services program, in the justice system, and as a life and career coach. I have met amazing people who have had very difficult lives, and I’ve learned so much from each of them. The common thread that I noticed running through the human condition was a high level of self-abuse. I believe this is the real source of most suffering in the world. The enemy is within.
On October 6, 2009, in the middle of the night sometime, I woke up with the title Signs, Signals,
