This is My Life.  Everyone, well almost everyone uses a "dream board" but I'd rather use my blog, that way it's in print giving me more responsibility to take action and follow through with my intentions.  Now t hat I have stability in my life, I can clearly plan everything.  I asked myself, "What is it You love most?"  The answer came to me naturally, I love to travel.  Regardless of all the "drama" that comes with traveling, I take away with me, ALL of the memories I have during my travel.  So I've made a declaration to myself to travel the world.  I'm incorporating my dream to travel to every land, continent and explore and ending with each travel to my true home.  I already know my parents live through me, so this IS a perfect opportunity.

I can see it now, after my travel to France, Italy, etc. then jet-setting to PI, and telling my parents all about it--MAN, what a life!!!!  It's a win-win situation.  It's going to take a lot of financial discipline and other sacrifices, BUT I KNOW I CAN DO IT.  It shall be done and I'm going all the way.  I can finally confidently say that I've come full-circle.  God has my back and it shall be done.  With or without traveling companions, it's going to be done.  I know it, I feel it and It is done.  LOL!!!!  Shoot, I have enough friends to help with "hook ups."  LOL!!!!!  There's no way but UP, right? 

Till next time, I bid you all love, light and compassion.

Yet another excerpt from "Dear Jon - Mom's Letters to her Sailor son."  

Dear Jon,

Well--I thought of you today during spin class and on my way home from the
gym for 2 reasons:  Santana and Michael Buble.

The first reason is our Spin Instructor played a few oldies in between but
the music theme was predominantly Santana.  I love Shawntell's Spin class
because she doesn't play all of that high energy crap that you young
generation love so much!  LOL!!!  Don't ask me how she does it, but she
plays the songs and we work out to the songs on the bike--hard to describe
because you have got to be there.  I think the next time you are in town,
I'm taking you to the gym with me--so bring some gym clothes on your next
trip home.  Alas, I put in 1.5 hours in the gym today and I feel great.

Now, back to the real subject at hand--YOU.  Santana reminds me so much of
you because of the early years you were learning to play the guitar...The
first song (if not, ONE of the first songs) you learned to play for me was
the guitar solo at the beginning of "Black Magic Woman" and I was so proud
of you then.  Those were some good ol' days in Alameda even though I
complained that "every night felt like I was at a rock concert."  You know
I miss the days you used to play for me.  Maybe, on your next trip home,
you can buy a cable and finally play for me again!  LOL!!!!  Just a thought.

Secondly, Michael Buble--You're probably wondering "what the..."  The song
played on the radio was "Home" from Michael Buble and it reminded me of not
only you but all the kids who leave home to live their lives becoming
independent of their parents.  But, no worries, I didn't cry.  Though, I
did get sad because I truly miss you.  Plus, it reminded me of that time
during your last visit to PI where you had food poisoning while Anthony
sang "Home" in that Karaoke joint we were at.  Ahhh the good ol' days
indeed.

I'm so excited and looking forward to the next time you come home.  It's
Christmas and all the holidays rolled in one when you come home.  I love
You and I miss You.  God Bless You and Your Shipmates for keeping our
country safe and for defending our freedom.  Godspeed.

Love,
Mommy

Everyone is intuitive, the difference is that there are those who choose to cultivate this gift and own it like me.  While others' gifts lay dormant until they are ready to cultivate it sometime later in this lifetime or in their next lifetime.  From what I have read, studied and practiced, the most important lesson learned is to trust myself.  Self-trust doesn't make me immuned to self-doubt; however, occasional self-doubt has also taught me that it is a sign of spiritual growth and to always seek answers to my questions.  I must add that the hardest part of my journey is knowing when to let go and when to keep fighting and striving for the highest good.  I always felt there was a fine line between release and control; it's hard to describe but easier said than done.  I just know now when to let go and when to keep going.  Experience, trust and practice makes me a better person.  With that said, this answers your next question--yes, I believe in karma (both good and bad; because you do reap what you sow) and I believe our soul continues to evolve for our own growth to learn from our mistakes hence, not carrying that mistake onto the next lifetime.  At any rate, I'm not asking you nor am I trying to convince or persuade you to my side--this is my belief. 

So now, we've arrived at this--Intuitive Healer is what I call myself because I am an Intuitive (aka a psychic) and a Healer.  I don't claim to know everything nor do I claim to provide you with a cure.  I do claim to provide you with some insight with the messages I receive from the angelic and/or spiritual realm and I can provide you with temporary relief complementary to the medication you are currently taking.  I get a lot of backlash and/or cringes when I mention I work with angels or spirits.  I want to make this clear, I am familiar with who my spirit guides are and which archangels come thru during any session or throughout my day.  I want to reassure you, my loyal followers and those who are unsure of coming to me for my services that, indeed, I work with a benevolent group of angels and among my spirit guides are Mother Mary, Archangel Raphael and Archangel Haniel.  

Well, I think I've said enough today.  I hope this helps and I can't wait to get to know all of you.  I love You even though we have yet to meet and believe me we will meet soon or sometime in the future or we might have already met in another lifetime.  All the while, Thank You for Your time.  I bid You Love, Light & Compassion, My Loves.

Thrive cleanse is my new drug.  I've never done a juice cleanse prior to Thrive cleanse and now that I've done it, I must say--I'M HOOKED!  As part of my health regimen, I will definitely add "cleansing" as my quarterly routine.  I love and endorse it.  If you can't afford Thrive--I am sure that a Google-search can provide you with plenty of recipes out there to do your own juice cleanses.    

Advantages of juice cleanse:

1.  Cleansing and detoxing of your mind, body & soul;
2.  Fully-restored energy;
3.  Your skin glows and your mind is clear; and
4.  YOU FEEL GREAT ALL OVER!!!

Disadvantages of juice cleanse:

1.  Your poor body is getting rid of your long-stored fat and junk (oh how can you part with the fat?);
2.  Your need to let go of sad, fearful thoughts (How can you part with that?!  Are you kidding me?!);
3.  Release of Negativity (Can you really let go of it?!);
4.  Hmmm, I seriously can't think of anything else that is to your "disadvantage".

At any rate, I could go on and on, but you'll need to try it for yourself.  You owe it to yourself to feel good all over--BEAUTIFY YOU.  Thank you for hearing me out, My Loves.  Till next time, I bid you all love, light & compassion.

My Loves--WELCOME TO 2014!  I've spiritually-cleansed myself on 12/31/13 to make room for The Present and receive all the blessings and healings that which arrives in it.  

I gave myself a 3-week break from EVERYTHING (which included meditation and going to the gym--YIKES!)  Boy, I can tell a huge difference--I've overindulged because throughout the year I wasn't sick and now I'm fighting a cold because of my lethargic body and soul.  WOW!!!  This was my cue to "quit playing" and get back to indulging into myself--taking care of me.  So for the next few days, I've decided to do a juice cleanse to clear my body of ALL toxins.  I know by Monday--I'll definitely feel the difference.  So now, I'm prepping my body wants again to get back on track and get down to business.  I've also gone back to my daily 1-hour meditation.  Slowly, but surely, I am feeling good again.  

What has this taught me?  To stay consistent and keep up the exercises and daily rituals which suits me.  MAINTAIN BALANCE -- It's ok to indulge but not overindulge; especially since my body suffered.  At any rate, the year has just begun and it's so full of possibilities.  I'm excited, are you?

Love, Light and Compassion ALWAYS.
