What Used To Be An Insult……

…..actually holds a lot of Truth. For decades people, who have gone to doctors with very real feeling aches and pains, were offended as they were sent home with the diagnosis, “It’s all in your head”. True, the symptoms they were experiencing were very real and sometimes debilitating for them. True also, the doctors with their limited testing options available, didn’t have the ability to detect certain causes of their physical ailments. However, the biggest truth is that the body and its experiences are governed by our beliefs both conscious and subconscious.

Here are some beliefs among folks I’ve encountered. Do you recognize any as true for you? “I always get a cold when the weather changes. I get the flu whenever it goes around. If I am around children a lot, I will automatically pick up whatever germs they bring along. If I drink from someone’s cup who has a cold (flu or whatever), I will get it too. It takes “X” amount of time to recover from this injury/ailment.”

What was that story about a little boy who was supposedly terminally crippled/sickly and was always kept in bed and treated as such? Then his bright little cousin who didn’t buy into that belief system ended up living in the same house? Ah yes, the Secret Garden!

She brought him out into the sunshine to experience life. Lo and behold, he got stronger and stronger, no longer that sickly little boy. All because of her positive belief that she was able to share with him.

How many people believe that they will be cursed by the Goddess Pele if they take coral (or is it lava) from Hawaii? Not unexpectedly, something “bad” happens that they totally attribute to the curse causing some to even return the coral. Then, of course, there are all the myriad variations of walking under a ladder, a black cat crossing their path, the number 13, a cracked mirror…..

More and more people now are starting to “get” this concept but mostly with thoughts and beliefs they are aware of. Often the most powerful, life driving beliefs are those held subconsciously that they are not even aware of - the unconscious programming. Deepak Chopra speaks it profoundly, “Now I realize that it isn’t the miracle that creates the believer. Instead, we are all believers. We believe that the illusion of the material world is completely real. That belief is our only prison. It prevents us from making the journey into the unknown.”

It’s not that what we believe in is not real. In fact, our very belief makes it so. Of course, it gets a bit more complicated for some when they say, “I would have never wanted to create this or that. Or, “I want this (fill in the blank), and I believe it, but it doesn’t happen. Yes, this discourse can go on and on for chapters and books and centuries…and it has!

 

Do you want to get clearer for your specific life journey? Are you really ready to make a big shift toward greater awareness? Is it time to consciously get your thoughts and beliefs working toward that which you desire? Are you open to personalized guidance in this area?

Gina’s Hug Seat

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 adequate 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 our 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 cabins are also an excellent opportunity for folks with 1031 exchange money to invest. www.cabinsofbirchhollow.com 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 to 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 booked. 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 post, 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 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 washed over me in waves 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….Juice Plus. 

ALOHA

Now I’m letting the world in on a little secret. I have a magical birthday. Of course you have a magical birthday too for you but you just may not have gotten the sign as clearly as I have. 6/4/64 6:46am heralded my arrival. So yes, I am the big 5-0 this year. Now that I’ve let the cat out of the bag, I will also let you know that I have chosen to celebrate this wondrous milestone all year long. I have an infinite amount of things in my magnificent life to be grateful for and so many angels masquerading as humans to appreciate too. Nature’s gifts and my own wisdom unfolding are ongoing things I revel over on a daily basis. 

Thank each and every Beautiful One of You for the precious gift you are in my life. Of course, a very special thanks to my dear Mom and Dad, without whom, I would not be having these celebrations for reasons obvious and those not. 

Part of my birthday festivities included a recent 3 week trip to the Hawaiian island of Kauai appropriately known as the Garden Isle. I was bubbling with excitement in anticipation of this trip fully expecting some of the magic of my Lemurian heritage to manifest itself in some outer-worldly way. I was a little perplexed when I didn’t see/feel this immediately. It was quite curious how I had experiences on opposite ends of the spectrum both high and (shall we say) interesting.

A couple highlights involved, no surprise, Dolphins and Turtles.

I was privileged to see turtles a number of times surfing in the waves. However, the time I swam in their waters was a whole new world. First, I stepped barefoot on the sand through the darkened, unfamiliar turtle tunnel. As it became light again I saw a large bump about 3 feet long and 2 feet wide to my right…..a sleeping turtle! Then it was time to get into the water following the stream of the cave into the cove. This was difficult for me as I was freezing in the water in spite of my wet suit. I had only donned 1 of my 2 part set thinking, being in Hawaii, surely I’d be warm enough. My desire to swim with the turtles was greater than my discomfort so I continued on. I scrambled up on a rocky outcropping called Mermaid Isle with my friends to warm ourselves in the sun for a while. After basking, being lulled by the sounds of the waves and seeing a couple turtles, I again braced myself and took the plunge. Almost immediately I came eye to eye with a large gentle turtle with a gorgeous patterned shell and began swimming side by side as if in a trance. Her energy was so beautiful and she swam so effortlessly. She was definitely aware of me and seemed to enjoy our togetherness as well. 3 times She turned her head in my direction. Not once did she turn the other way. I don’t know how long I swam or how far out I was until the freezing sensation in my body took over. When I came up I realized I was quite some distance from my friends as well as from the shore. Thanking my gentle companion of the sea and bidding her adieu, I made my way back enjoying the variety of colorful fish passing by.

Oh, I did mention dolphins too. This is one of the things that puzzled me….my lack of seeing my powerful finned friends in places I would have totally expected to see them. However, they did thrill me with one memorable occasion. Opting to walk back after a run to the end of a nearby beach, I assumed my Xena posture. While I was thinking of lining up my spine to facilitate improved Kundalini flow and opening my pineal-pituitary areas, something out in the water caught my eye. After gazing a while I thought it might be dolphins but wasn’t sure with the circle swimming I saw. Oddly, I couldn’t really feel them either. After about 10 minutes musing over the possibilities of what I was looking at, I decided to ask.  Pausing to face them, I opened my heart, shined my light and asked if they were dolphins to please let me know without a doubt. Immediately one leaped high in the air spinning horizontally. Tears began to flow. With less than a week left of my 3 week trip, the dolphins had finally visited me. I continued watching their antics punctuated by occasional joyful leaps.  Standing enthralled for about 5 minutes, I poured forth my gratitude. They kept playing another 5-10 minutes as I, now slowly, walked along. I continued thanking them awash in a wave of emotion that “every little thing’s gonna be alright”. As I climbed back up to the path where people were walking, running and biking, a man coming the opposite direction was wearing a shirt that said, “Never Stop”. I pondered that with relation to certain things going on in my life. Within a minute, a woman walked by wearing a shirt reading, “Never Give Up”. This time, I felt the Universe was giving me a personal message.

On the final day of my Hawaiian experience, I had the delightful opportunity to soak up the sun on a beautiful beach for hours mindfully and heartfully contemplating the previous 3 weeks. I was able to see how energetic Lemurian messages actually did come through to me when I could see past what I initially expected. Things are definitely not always as they seem. The information was far more subtle and would have been entirely missed had I not taken the time to go within to find my treasure.

I challenge you to think of some happening in your life where things turned out, or are presently appearing, in a puzzling way to you that makes no apparent sense. Quiet yourself, ask for higher guidance and be open to seeing the situation in a whole new light. Look for all possible gems within and how there can be a completely different meaning than that which you previously concluded.  You may be pleasantly surprised indeed. I love happy surprises. Wishing you all a very Happy Birthday (on whatever day it lands) and inviting you to join me in finding a reason to celebrate your presents/presence on Mother Earth the whole year through!

Religion and Spirituality

I almost titled this Religion vs Spirituality. Instantly I remembered my desire to be as extremely diligent about my words and focus as possible. “vs” often denotes some sort of conflict. While not in denial about conflict, I choose to consciously have in my experience what I wish which is peace and absence of judgment (in the sense of deeming things good or bad).

I was extremely blessed and delighted to spend the Easter/Springtime holidays with family that had not been all together in years. We laughed. We loved. We helped. We surprised. We enjoyed re-connecting with each other. We brought in more family members, who were not able to make it in person, thanks to the wonders of technology. I shared some of my adventures, hopes and dreams as did others.

An interesting situation presented that was the impetus of writing this particular blog post. We were all sitting down getting ready to enjoy dinner together. I, among others, was joking a bit about silver, gold and frankincense with an obvious reference to Jesus. Now I must clarify that this was humor and fun with Jesus…in no way mocking him. One family member got extremely defensive and upset about the conversation. To keep the peace, the rest of us just changed the topic.

Due to many experiences, past and present, I have some extremely interesting relationships with Jesus…..but that is a topic for another day. Suffice it to say, I have an understanding about Jesus that is about love and joy. He wasn’t all seriousness and control. He would have definitely wanted people to participate in fun and happiness as we were having in our conversation.  Here is where the part about religion comes up.  All religions have seeds of truth in them. However, some people only know the information that their form of religion has programmed into them.  They can’t fathom anything beyond that information. If Jesus walked up to these individuals today (sans the garments of a time and place long ago), they would probably not even recognize him. He wouldn’t fit into the box of perception they were taught.

The purpose of this observation is not to judge or condemn. All choices are definitely honored “above” and by myself as well. So of course people are entitled to believe and live as they desire. I personally choose to be spiritual instead of aligning with a man-made structure called religion. I chuckled reading a saying recently, “Religion is for people who fear Hell.  Spirituality is for people who have already been there and back”. That is definitely true for me. If you are still reading this so far, you are person who thinks, at least some of the time, outside the “box” that you were programmed into. So, whether you subscribe to a particular religion or not, I propose to you a friendly challenge. When other humans tell you that things are right or wrong, please run it all through the filter of your heart and spirit. The Divine communicates to you directly that way. If you consciously do this and make choices that are more in alignment with your own Higher Truth, perhaps you will be happily surprised. Human ego can be a little tricky but, with a little practice, you will begin to be able to differentiate Spirit coming through you.  How can you tell?….it is the voice that brings most peace.

Phoenix Rising

While I know I am in the absolute right place in the exact right time at all times, there are moments when things can still be a bit tough on this human plane. I returned to California from Florida toward the end of November of 2013. Although I had no idea what was next, I was pretty sure it would fall into place in the next 2 months….3 at the most. I was, of course, happy to see my parents and kids (grown up now but they’ll always be my kids). It was delightful to reconnect with friends in the area as well. As the weeks marched on, one situation would appear as a possibility and then another….only to fall apart a short time later. I was more than a little surprised to get almost no viable information about my next tropical door in spite of my numerous efforts. Instead, all I knew was my “next step” for months. In spite of the fact that I noticed (and assisted in) many wonders along my California journey, I had allowed some darkness to creep into my life in the form of doubt, sadness and discouragement. As I let these emotions insidiously grow, my remembrance of who I truly am and what I am capable of dimmed. Even though some others could still see my light, I was having difficulty seeing it myself. What I knew and what I felt became two very different places. One loud and very clear realization was there was no way I could live like this indefinitely.

A couple Earth Angels, aka my Parents, stepped up to help “revive” me. Some kind of retreat was necessary for renewal and reconnection with my Higher Self. A quite unseemly solution was found….a Caribbean cruise.

Most people think of a party like atmosphere on a cruise, particularly the cruise line with whom I sailed. However, I made it exactly the quiet miracle that I needed to become the bright and dazzling Bird of Fire – the Phoenix. Rising from the ashes of my previous recent “mis-creations”, I am, once again, strong in my knowing and in my conscious creation abilities.

I still am not sure of “what’s around the river bend” but I do know what is going on in my heart and soul.

Perhaps life is subtly (or not so subtly) weighing you down in one area or another. Maybe you’ve been going years without feeling like you are operating from your authentic self.  If so, chances are you could use emergency restoration like I did. I’m not suggesting a cruise, unless of course you too know how to make it work for that purpose. Let your imagination run wild.  What would really help shake things up for you? I know, the excuses of why you can’t do something are flowing just as fast as the things you’d like to do. Listen people!  This is your life! You deserve to live it fully. Now! Not when you have time.  Not when you have money. Not when you can get away from work. Not when (you fill in the blank). I encourage you to manifest the first miracle today of deciding you are going to do whatever it takes to live your life fully aligned, joyful and powerful. Then take just the next step in that direction.

And yes, sometimes we can use the assistance of others as we make this amazing journey on Gaia together.  This is still a lesson I am working on accepting. At this time, I express infinite gratitude for each and every Earth Angel (many of you know who you are) that has kindly lifted me up each and every day.

You have all helped rekindle my fire so I, in turn, can continue my magnificent work of shining for the rest of this world.  If you would like some encouragement, insight or inspiration to assist you in your own Resurrection, please consider Telephone Wellness Coaching.

Thank you all for continuing to share my journey. If you are new to my adventures, welcome aboard. Abundant blessings in all your travels too!

Stirring the Pot….Part of My Mission?!

A while back, in a fit of temper, someone shot at me, “Nobody likes you and you cause trouble everywhere you go!”  At the time thankfully, I was so present in my power, I realized everything he was saying was just a projection of how he himself was feeling as he continued on with his angry tirade.

As you can imagine, and if you’ve been following my blog you know, I also have my high and low moments.  Recently I was in that dark place where my ego managed to stealthily slink in. I was in a situation that someone else wanted to put a guilt trip on me for a not so pretty situation.  Ego reminded me of those poison darts thrown at me in the past….. “You cause trouble everywhere you go!”  Before I knew it, I was on a path of looking at situations (everywhere I went) over the years that seemed to cause problems. Maybe he was right.  Maybe I did cause trouble everywhere I went! OMG! 

Before long, I was able to shake myself out of it and see my Truth.  Were there uncomfortable situations many times along my path? Yes!  Were there people who wanted to blame me for what was going on in their life? Yes!  Were the situations caused by me?  Yes and No. Yes, in the sense that I stirred the pot. Me, living my truth, standing my ground and being different than the norm, evokes in many people discomfort.  No, in the sense that I caused their actions and feelings.  These belong to them 100%.  Now the original sources of feelings may start from family, friends, teachers, religion, government and society programming, but people decide – consciously or not – how they are going to feel. Yikes, this is getting even more heavy!  So one might say, “But that person said something to me that was just cruel.  Of course that makes me feel offended!” My response….that person said words (and yes, the intent may have been to hurt) but the fact is that person said words.  You somehow related to those words and chose to be offended.  Eleanor Roosevelt said brilliantly, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent”.  And Ghandi, “No one can hurt me without my permission.”   There is another thing that “makes” some people uncomfortable around me - being truly me. It mirrors to them something that is in themselves they don’t like.  It is a catalyst for them to see ways that they may be living inauthentically.  It also can be a challenge for someone’s complete belief system about how they are living their life.  Most people don’t eagerly welcome any of these scenarios.

But what else do I prompt being true to myself?

Awareness….inspiration…..encouragement…..could this be part of my mission?

Yes, when I come from my connection to God and someone else is open to the light, this is what they perceive.  I know I am making a powerful positive difference in this world…..everywhere I go!  Just like each and every one reading these words has the ability to make a positive difference everywhere they go. No matter what “they” say, we know in our hearts when we are shining and when we are….well, less than shining.  I’m not saying it’s always easy.  I’m not saying I always shine very brightly.  What I am saying is I AM BEING part of the change I desire to see in this world along with a host of many others.  How about you? Every moment of the day you get to decide anew if you want to settle for the status quo…or be a courageous trailblazer!  I humbly invite you to make the choice to join me as we all make this world a brighter place!

Oh, one more piece on my incredible journey…..I may have a new tropical move up my sleeve shortly.  Will share more as things develop.  Thank you so much for your continued support, kind words and powerful energy!

Releasing…..Like Layers of an Onion

Ever since childhood, I have been letting go.  I let go of my childhood dreams completely by age 18 due to the circumstances of those earlier years.  I let go of a certain sense of security when I chose to leave a marriage that wasn’t honoring me.  When my son was only 16, it took all my courage to let him go when his choices weren’t respectful.  It was one of the most difficult gut wrenching decisions….a painful layer of the onion to shed.  When moving to Florida, I parted with a good third of my belongings and the comfort of family, friends and business connections.  Another huge wave of letting go transpired in Florida losing my home along with a number of properties, going through bankruptcy and saying good-bye to yet another marriage.  Then, thinking I would not need to drive on the Panamanian island I believed I was moving to live, I also gave away my car.  Last year I parted with another biggie for me.  It would not have seemed a big deal under my previous circumstances but given my current gypsy situation it’s value to me was great.  I gave away a diamond ring I was attached to for many reasons both emotional and logical.  The logical aspect was, I figured if I ever was in great need I could easily get $3000 which would get me back “on track”.  This year I had to release a relationship that was one of the closest to my heart.  As painful as it was, I had to stand in my truth which meant another good bye…another layer shed.

Early on in my journey, I almost believed that this letting go process would get easier as I gained experience.  I thought understanding the reason for things and seeing truth beyond the human experience would not take as much “vigilance”.  I don’t know about for others, but this hasn’t been the case for me.  I do know that I can make a choice in the midst of the pain to be in peace and, in a strange sort of way, happy.  I experience what I’m going through and make the decision to keep going on….to keep shining no matter what.

Now this isn’t meant to be a depressing piece so why am I sharing it with you?  Because of why I am choosing the whole shedding process in the first place.  Unless we let go of the old, there is no way we can experience the new.  We cannot continue to be and act and have in ways we did before if we wish to transform our lives by choice rather than default.  Default is the reality that change will always happen.  We can fight and hold on to the old, sometimes for a long time, but that doesn’t really help us.  We may also want to make some shifts or improvements in our lives but are worried about what others will think of us or are afraid of the new role we will have to play in the unfamiliar circumstances.  Personally, I know I have gained with every layer I have had the courage to shed.  While I admit I didn’t quite welcome the experiences, I thankfully am able to see some of the value I have gained.  Gained??  Gained through loss?  Yes!  With every layer released, my spirit has grown more and more free.  I am getting closer to embodying the Light that I really am.  I have shed (for the most part) being concerned about what others think of me.  I have learned to live (happily) without most of the material trappings that, at one time, I thought were essential.  I am not stressed about the things most people are because those things are not even in my awareness.  The more I disconnect from the rat race….the Grand Illusion, the more I can connect with my true self and the divinity in everyone around me.  I used to feel bad about not being able to assist people in the manner I desire.  I am now able to help them in ways far greater although most live in a state they cannot perceive such.  Again, I do have my human moments of sadness, pain and frustration.  However, for the most part, I am comforted and motivated by the real reason I came to this planet – a role I have only consciously stepped into by choosing to release anything from my life holding me back from truth and love.  I encourage you to examine your own life and look deeply into your heart.  Is there anything you are clinging to from the old that is keeping you from your truth?  Perhaps there is one little action, one baby step you can take right now to remove one more layer of whatever it is that is blocking you from shining as brightly as you can.  As you contemplate this and play (yes take this “lightly”) with your own process, keep in mind there is no judgment. There is no right or wrong.  All choices are honored.  Love Is All There Is!  And truly All Is Well!

PS.  If onions make you cry, please change my analogy…perhaps to a diamond in the rough.  But you’ll have to do a bit of chiseling to get through those layers ;-)

California Dreamin'

Why California Dreamin?  Because, at the moment, I am in California and I am dreaming ….Dreaming of warm sunshiny days, of smooth sandy beaches that go for miles, of warm turquoise crystal clear water teaming with sea life including my dolphin friends, of endless swaying palm trees and dreaming of assisting people from this beautiful sanctuary.


 

However, in my NOW moment, I am in Gratitude.  I am thankful for my wonderful family here that I get to enjoy including my new grandpuppy.  I am thankful for so many supportive angel friends all over the world.  I am grateful that I don’t have to actually be near the water to feel Dolphin Energy.  I am thankful that I have warm clothes, plenty of delightful food and a roof over my head.  I am blessed with the absolute knowing that I am in the absolute right place at the perfectly right time.  I am grateful that I have remembered enough about who I really am to be able to be mostly at peace with all the apparent craziness of my life.  Here’s an awesome quote for me at this (perceived) time in my life from C. JoyBell C.   “I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”  It was recently brought to my attention by my Sister Angel, Tania Marie, who writes a blog many of you may resonate with as it is so poignant for our ever-shifting times http://taniamarieartist.wordpress.com/2013/11/30/reverence-for-the-void/

While I am enjoying the holidays with family and friends, I am taking the baby steps as guided and walking through the doors as they reveal themselves to me in preparation for life in 2014.  There are still calls to Hawaii as well as hopes in Florida, although the possibilities are still world-wide.  I’m dancing with the flow and thankful that you are choosing to accompany my with your sparkling presence on this kaleidoscope journey! Abundant Blessings and Joyful Holidays ~
