As many of you are aware, I had an exciting opportunity
on Casey Key FL which might have turned out to be the humble beginning of my Tropical Dolphin
Retreat.
I am actively looking for investors or financial partners to enable
this reality to birth. In my efforts to do so, I have contacted over 1,000
people in my efforts to make the appropriate connections. Although I have not
reached everyone yet I’ve desired, due to lack of long enough internet
connection, I was able to send messages to a number of my Friends on FaceBook.
This is how I was graced with a wonderful response from Gina Gaudio-Graves.
She
asked me a little more about my project, connected me to a couple powerful
like-minded people and invited me to schedule a telephone meeting with her. I
was thrilled and grateful for her offer and so valued out phone time together.
In addition to sharing some of my situation and goals, I learned about Gina’s
personal story. Talk about someone who has defied all odds and doctor’s
prognosis of only having 12 months to live! Gina’s thriving presence on this planet is a testimonial
to her tenacity after a potentially devastating car accident and choosing to
shift adversity into thriving health and prosperity. During our conversation,
Gina recommended I get to know a couple people that had similarities to me.
Dale Smith is the owner of Cabins of Birch Hollow in Kentucky. It is a
delightful place to visit for a retreat, family gathering or beautiful vacation
in nature. The cabin are also an excellent opportunity for folks with 1031
exchange money to invest.

Cynthia Gardner O’Neill is the driving force behind
www.lovingconsciousness.com . She
leads workshops and retreats as well as providing many resources for
heart-centered living. Simply visiting her website is an inspiring, uplifting
experience. Gina also told me about a business building program she offers through
Directions University
www.directionsuniversity.com
a successful business training company she leads with business partner Jack
Humphrey. As part of this program, she hosts a weekly call focusing on a
specific person and their business in the Hug Seat.
That’s right, it’s Hug
Seat, not Hot Seat as I am beginning sense something of an enlightened slant
here. Gina generously invites me to be in her Hug Seat. Initially I have
misgivings as I feel my situation is too unique and I think where I am and want
to be may be too far off for the purpose of this forum. I tell Gina that I
wouldn’t be able to commit for the next 3 weeks as I will be in Hawaii. To
which she responds, “That’s perfect as I already have the next 3 weeks book.
The next availability is June 4.” I am a person who pays attention to signs and
walks through peaceful doors. I accepted telling her I will accept this gift as
that is my birthday. Then she tells me her birthday is the next day and the
same year. Essentially we were born almost energetically at the same time.
As you may have read in my previous blog, I had a
magnificent Hawaiian trip. Still buzzing with that dynamic and the excitement
of my birthweek, I looked forward to our call with great anticipation. I did
not get a chance to listen to the recordings of any previous calls so I really
wasn’t sure what to expect. The only thing that was a given is that I would
contribute as much as I would receive. Evidently I presented my “story” well as
there was some mention of such. The other participants on the call got to
benefit from my story as comments given to me applied to them too. I was joyfully
overwhelmed with the generous ideas, resources and recommendations offered to
me by both Gina, Jack and the other participants on the call.
In the conversation I got to “meet” a number of new friends
and potential business compliments. Cher Fauvel is another shining example of
someone choosing her own life path in spite of the odds. Through
www.rawfoodenergybenefits.com
Cher guides people in ways to achieve vibrant health and optimum energy via raw
foods. Does the Coastal Life resonate with you? You’ll probably enjoy the
offerings of Trish Samson via
www.mycoastalmuse.com
. V Lynn Hawkins offers business coaching and consulting through
www.skyhawkenterprises.biz. She
expertly provides growth strategies, funding, coaching and consulting for
business owners.
I expressed my knowledge and expertise of many different
(and necessary) business aspects. At the same time I shared that just because I
am good at something, doesn’t mean it is good for my soul to be participating
in these activities. So again the topic arose of potentially partnering with
someone. If you, or someone you know, loves accounting, marketing, is technology savvy and would be open to discussing a partnership for
my Tropical Dolphin Spa Retreat, please let me know

Excitement, resonance, hope, and appreciation were all waves
washing over me in the process of Gina’s gift of this call. There were no
immediate obvious life changing actions to take as a result of this opportunity
but many baby steps. Again, there was that immense feeling of confirmation of
being in exactly the right place at the exact right time even without all the
clear “why’s” of it all.
Huge thank you Gina and all you new beloveds that I am now
blessed to be in contact with! I am grateful for the part you are playing in
this magnificent journey of life on this planet. Of course, I am in deep
appreciation for all my old (yes, we go way back) friends that continue to
support and dance together after all these years.
Stay tuned for the next development in my adventures coming
soon and stay well. If you could use assistance in this area, I am currently
available for
Telephone Wellness Coaching and still providing one of the best
nutritional support systems available….
