Life Takes You Where You Never Thought You Would Go

When I was younger, in middle school and high school, I had a group of girl friends that had my heart. The girls and I would stay at each other’s houses, share clothes, and eat French fries for lunch, have burping contests, laugh till our tummies would hurt and walk to places we only drive to now! Those times were great and I will never forget!

There were four of us girls. Even though we were great friends, we fiercely competed with each other in ways that often made me feel like an outcast. It was hard keeping up with clothes, boys, and who could spend the most and best time with each other.

Back then life at home was hard and not enjoyable for me. There was a lot going on emotionally, so spending time with my girlfriends was my escape from reality.  I experienced suicide; divorced parents at 17, my mother had extreme mental illness, 2 teen pregnancies which one happened through rape, drugs, and alcohol, adoption, and much more. As the days went by, my intense life at home caused me to drift farther away from my friends to the point, I never saw them again. 1991 was the last time we talked. School was too much for me to handle, so I dropped out. Later, I was ashamed at myself for making that choice, but it was what I needed to do.

Years had gone by and I thought about us four a lot. There was even a point in my thought process that I felt like the reason why we drifted apart was because the girls didn’t like me anymore. For a long time my insecurities picked at why we were no longer friends.  I wished life was different and I still had my girls.

Then something happened! In 2008 my life changed in a drastic way. My spiritual awareness was developing fast even though spirituality was introduced to me in 2003.  I still struggled with life, but I seen something I never saw before, A Greater Life. I started to realize that I was the creator of my life, and all the things I had experienced in my past were part of that creation. I decided that I wanted that Greater Life so I began to think of ways to obtain it! I no longer was going to put my life on hold, at 34 I was going back to school.

 Then something happened again! FACEBOOK!  In2009, I created myself an account and began to think of all the people I wanted to connect with.  I thought of my childhood girlfriends and low and behold, I connected with two of them. One of them was Danielle. I remember before I clicked “Add Friend”, I was scared, my tummy was in knots and I was shaking. I was a mess! Looking back at that time makes me laugh now!

Danielle accepted my friendship on Facebook and I was excited! 17 years later Danielle and I would meet for the first time for tea at Wild Flower café in Tempe, AZ. At that time, I was homeless had no job or money and was upset that I couldn’t pay for my own tea to see my girlfriend. Needless to say the universe works in mysterious ways, because Danielle offered to buy my tea.

When we meet up, Danielle had not changed in looks that much, except she no longer had beautiful long blonde hair, it was now black with green streaks in it. Somehow she makes black and green look really good together! 

We sat and talked for awhile. Catching up on lost times. So nervous I was, I began to see this beauty in front of me in a different light! Then the most unexpected thing happened again! Danielle told me she was going to go to, The Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. The same school I had my heart set to go to.  I couldn’t believe it, I was shocked! In my heart it felt like Danielle and I would have a chance to heal something within us that was obviously intended for the both of us. I was even more shocked to learn that I would be a part of Danielle’s spiritual awakening, little did she know at that time! I was truly honored! I never dreamed this would happen, and our reuniting would prove to be spectacular.

Finally the both of us made it! Danielle started SWIHA in Nov. 09 and me, in Dec. 09. 18 years later we would be attending the same school together, taking the same program but with different intentions. 

Originally we were to graduate together in 1993, but 2011 is our year! It’s our year to make a difference in ourselves and in others. This year is the foundation of our lives. It’s the beginning of dreams we vowed to make.

 Life takes us where we never thought we would go.  This is a true story and it Honor’s myself and Danielle Iott and I am sharing it with the world around me! This story is a great lesson in how the power of the Universe works! Never underestimate where life will take you, you might find yourself in the greatest place of all, LOVE!

Thank you! Namaste,

Love Speaks

Love Speaks

Around the world many people speak of Love. It is often described as a sense within. For some it’s a warm fuzzy feeling in their tummies or heart. For others it is a knowing. An awareness that expresses something that is indescribable. Popular author, Gary Chapman explains how love speaks through, “The Five Love Languages” The languages are;

1. Words of Affirmation. People relate to words. They are a part of everyday life. A simple “hello” expresses we took time to notice the other person. Many like to say and hear “I love you” and for others positive compliments proclaim love for another. Studies show that relationships are more successful with a ration of 5:1. Five positive compliments or words of affirmations for every one negative. Listen for clues from your expressions to know what your loved ones primary love language.

2. Quality Time. When in relation with others, life can easily get in the way. People crave undivided attention. If they are not getting the support they need negative behavior is displayed and unfortunately negative gets our attention quicker than positive. Our children are prime examples of this. Wanting our attention at times when we are preparing our lives. Stop and take a moment to spend quality time with loved ones, we tell them with our actions, “I love you, and spending time with you is important to me”.

3. Receiving Gifts. For some, giving gifts is another way of saying “I love you” Giving and receiving is a powerful expression of affection that can last a long time. The most meaningful gifts become symbols of love, and those that truly convey love are a part of a vocabulary. When we give, we show our loved ones we took the time to think about them and that they matter. To truly speak this style we must be genuine in our act of kindness.

4. Acts of Service. Often people say an act of service is their primary love speech. The simplest act can be the most rewarding, like holding the door open for someone, helping someone pick up things they dropped or giving a friend a ride. When doing for others we create an environment that is of unity and show that we care by acting selfless instead of selfish.

5. Physical Touch. Physical touch will communicate love more deeply than the words “I love you” or giving a present, fixing something, or spending quality time. We receive love from all the languages, but for many the clearest and loudest one is physical touch. Without hugs, kisses, pats on the back and other physical expressions of adoration, our love tank will remain less than full. Human development requires intimacy. If you use physical touch as an expression of anger and aggressiveness you will hurt the other very deeply, especially is your loved ones primary love language is touch.


Sharing and expressing love is important to everyone. Whether your love language is words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, or physical touch, we must be genuine with our intentions. Taking the time to learn each other’s dialect is the greatest act of love for all.

My Dream

I had a dream
A dream about you
Then my dream came true

The dream was not real
Only in my mind did I feel
The real of my dream

I set forth the search
The search of my dream
The one about you

Circles it led me
Right to you
Then I realized
My dream wouldn’t come true

Still I searched to make it happen
With tears I wept
The memories I dreamt

Channeled I did
To find the dream
The one about you

Held close to my heart
The dream I had
Made me fall apart

It was real
For me not to feel
Now I seek to heal
This dream

The days have passed
I remembered
What made me stressed

Now the dream I had
The one about you
Would leave me mad

Not angry but insane
Trying to make
It my gain

Dreams come and go
Forever in my heart
I remember my dream
The one about you

There’s a voice I hear
Let go he says
To the dream I had
The one about you

For in this dream
It’s not about you

But your face is what I remember
In my dream

He reminds me
To always dream
But next time
My dream will not be you

Universal Law as I know

ON a greater awareness is the truth to my existence. There is a veil covering the universe. One that is blinding everyone.

Just when things seem to make sense to me, something happens and the sense is no longer understandable.

I feel in my heart that there is a greater understanding of the drama of my world and the world around me. What I see with my eyes, is not always what I see. What is seen by my eyes and the eyes of the world in only ever understood by The All. By tiring to make sense of it, am I putting my business in the business of the All?

My existence is the correspondence of the All as well as everything around me. I see how the Law of Correspondence and other Laws work on many levels happening at the same time.

When I ask for something either from my mind or my heart, whether I understand or not, and depending on how I am energetic wise, most of the time the Universe delivers. With this said, all laws are connecting to my requests. Maybe the lesson I may or may not get. By being conscious of my reality, I have the power to control my perception of the lesson.

Each day is a day of polarity, vibration and rhythm. When I awake in the morning and go to bed at night is considered two sides of polarity. The very act of my movement has gender in relation. I would say getting out of bed is masculine and going to bed is feminine. The art of me writing this has the Law of Causation, as well as me going to school every week and doing my homework. Universal Law has taught me to be more aware of the Laws and how to use the Laws to get through the Laws. By changing my perception, I am able to transmute things that have no importance to the desires at which are in my heart.

Without the understanding of the Laws, separation and victimization may plague ones life. Being able to understand Universal Law and using the law for creation is also containing all the laws. The process can be complicated, but once understood it can lead us with ease. And so it is!

I Let Go!

I really want to hate you, but something in my soul cries for love.

I try with every fiber of my being to not think of you. How can I forget the connection we had and have? Why do we have this connection that keeps me lost in you?

When I think of you, am I keeping my self in the past? Focusing on my hands keeps me connected to now.

I have been told countless times you were no good for me, but something inside of me does not believe. I know you differently than everyone else.

Could I have created the emptiness I feel? Have my thoughts created what I truely did not want to happen?

My biggest nightmare turned into the greatest reality. Did I create this reality? Or was it what was supposed to happen?

The pain in my heart is real I feel. Or is it an illusion that keeps me feeling pain.

So many questions I have inside, but for now I will live the questions and wait the answers.

Could you be the answer that I needed to move forward?

Lost inside I have been, keeping myself away from potentail pain, only brings me more pain.

I disconnected you from me, but still feel like you are connected to me. Is it you that I am connected to? Or is there another force that says I need your connection?

I give you away to the universe! You have my complete blessing to love the way you want. It is none of my business and I want it to stay that way.

Me saying I want nothing to do with you is really me not wanting to face my pain. Though there is pain I feel, it is mine not yours.

I have said alot to you, but there is alot more that I have not said. I have tried and tried and tried to hate you, but the Universe, God and my Angels remind me that hate is not a part.

My biggest nightmare came true, even when I really tried to believe it wouldn't. My predictions are real not just becasue of what I feel. For one day you will understand what I have predicted to you was a glimpse of the future that I tried to run from. Now instead of running, I stop and face it and look at it with fresh eyes.

I tried to get you to tell me the truth of what is in your heart, but you ran from believing from the start. There is a hole in my heart, but not from you, from me believing the stupid part.

My tears came often, more than you know, mostly from the space that I allowed to grow. I felt safe to cry in front of you even when you felt ashamed or scared of my tears too. There were times I could not hold it in, so I let it flow. Right now I am human and can't deny the tears that know.

As I try to move forward with dreams that I have, I will never forget the love that we had. Faith tells me that I can not hold on to that love for there is more from above. I can not save you nor can I do anything more for you nor can you save me.

I am empty completely! Now is my chance to fill my heart with what was intended to be my part from the very start!

Butterfly, your wings so beautiful, gracefully flying towards the sky

The other day I was sitting with my Aunt having a cup of coffee, when all of the sudden a butterfly flew in the patio where we were sitting. First it started fling around the patio and then it came a foot away from my head. I really thought this butterfly was going to land on me. After that it flew away to never be seen by me again.

I left this experience knowing this was a sign from the universe. The message the butterfly gave me, “Be patient dear one, for you to will spread your wings and fly like a butterfly”

What an encouraging message to receive from my creators creation! Thank you!

Namaste,
Danielle

Diversity from my Eyes

Sound Vibrations

A decade ago, I was introduced to Sound Vibrations. I learned what types of sounds increase and decrease my frequency. For over ten years now, I have been consistent in using a variety of music, mantras and tones. I have learned to listen to music that is relaxing and allows me to slip into a parasympathetic state. It was in Energy Anatomy that I discovered the extreme importance of listening to higher frequency vibrations.

In Energy Anatomy, we were introduced to Sound Vibrations and how some vibrations at a certain frequency can affect our Human energy field. We discussed how certain types of music or sounds can cause our energy fields to stay the same, increase, or decrease.

Our teacher informed us of a guy whom created a CD that has higher frequency vibrations in the sound waves. At the time this man was creating the melodies, he had no idea of the frequency that was involved until some scientists and researchers discovered that people who listened to the music were reported to have increased strength. When this artist discovered the research that took place, he was amazed at the intensity of the frequencies that were involved. The research entailed clients to take part in multiple balancing tests that measured their strength before and after listening to the sounds. Some clients were exposed to the sounds for just 15-20 SECONDS. It was recorded that even being exposed for a short amount of time, the clients energy field increased by ten fold. In our class room, we did tests of our own that proved the theory to be correct. The artist that was involved in this research was Marc Romero.

AMAZING! So this got me thinking that, Marc Romero was not the only Human Being to create high frequency sound vibrations. I immediately thought about David Armstrong’s Music. I was certain that I could prove David’s music to have the same effects that Marc Romero’s music had. I already knew how great I felt after to listening to David’s music and the changes I felt inside of myself.

So far, I have experimented on 3 people. I had my guinea pigs do two balancing techniques. I discovered after only listening to 15-20 seconds of David Armstrong’s Music my testers had increased strength just like what was discovered in the research of Marc Romero’s music and the experiments we did in class.

Just by listening to David Armstrong’s music you will, Increase your energy strength, Increase your energy field, Repair DNA, Free pent up energy inside & outside of your body, allows yourself to slip into parasympathetic state, Share David’s creation, and most of all you will get to listen to some really good music.
