At the risk of sounding like a broken record… Wow… I have no idea where to begin….

Upon every city along this track across the country I am mesmerized and in awe of the brilliance and splendor waiting for each of us as we awaken to the possibilities and the abundance of the Universe! As a Reiki Master, I was taught by my Teacher and friend John Romeo that we are only responsible for 5% of the work. The rest is left to the universe and powers that be. Every Day seems to be another lesson in this!

It had been 2.5 years since the last time I was in Fort Lauderdale. I was just there for a softball tournament, but it was SOOO much more than that. I remember waking up the first morning around 5:30am, to walk out of the hotel and experience my first ever sunrise on the beach. The energy of the morning sun climbing off the horizon of the beautiful blue green abyss of wonder and life before me; I was soon lost in meditation. I had no idea that one could feel so alive and at peace in any given moment. I don’t even remember much about the softball tournament, but I do remember that all I wanted to do was pretty much be by myself and do my own thing. Of course, I was there with a team and we ate, played and went out together.

Those moments though, every morning, were mine. And finally, on the last day… with only a few hours before I had to be brought back to the airport for my flight home, I told the guys I was heading out to the beach… to just be alone (or so I thought). After being there for only maybe 30 mins, this really hot guy walked by, but it was more than just hot: there was something about him.

Within a matter of minutes we were deep in conversation about energy, and spiritual principals of understanding; and, before I knew it, it was time for me to head back to the hotel or I would miss my flight. This man convinced me to allow him to change my flight and pay for me to stay another night so we could continue to talk and hang out. I couldn’t believe what I was doing, but I did it. A total stranger, in physical form, but an energy I connected with in a way I couldn’t explain.

Over the course of the evening, we had an amazing time. But the next morning, we woke to check out one last sunrise. We walked along the beach and just walked: experiencing each other and all of the abundant energy and peace we both felt. I found a piece of coral that I ended up wearing around my neck for the next couple years. It was only right before I began this part of my journey that I felt it was time to release the energy that connected me to it, and gave it to someone who I know will always cherish it (or not) either way it found its way to its next owner. He saw me to the airport and we have had a few conversations since, but that one night was all it was supposed to be: for me, and for him. I still don’t know what all the meaning of everything was. Maybe it was just me learning to say yes to life, and time to stop living my life to always do what I thought was the next right thing, and begin doing what I felt was the right thing to do or direction to go.

I am now pulling into Fort Lauderdale for the first time since this last experience. I knew I wasn’t going to be busy, but was looking forward to what the city had in store for me. Meeting up with a new friend (from facebook), a few great clients, time at the beach, good drinks, and going with the flow: Fort Lauderdale was going well, but wasn’t feeling that connection to the city like I had the first time a couple years ago. But maybe, what happened a couple years ago was only for that point in time and nothing more.

But then, Monday morning things changed. I had been feeling a shift in my own energy for the last week, ever since I realized I had to make the journey cross country more than work but a personal journey of experience. I met up with a man who asked if we could meet and talk. See, a dear friend of his had been diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. He wanted to understand the energy, and what he could do to help her. He was looking for a miracle, and I am a “Healer”

Having also just lost a daughter, also to cancer, this family was looking for a miracle. Hoping, praying, and looking for something outside of themselves for the answer, for a healing… as they were taught: they continued on the same path. Jesus himself said, “I have done nothing, for it is your belief that has made you whole”.  But, how do you make a family believe in a light that is within, the “GOD” Source that is within all of us, if their religious teachings that they have had engrained into their mind and body says and teaches otherwise? It was quickly revealed to me, my purpose in this situation was not that of the mother, but the beautiful man before me. This was a man that was open, and already well on his way to being a very beautiful light in this world and very gifted healer himself.

After talking for a couple hours, he asked if I could do a session on him, and help him connect to his own light: the light he must stand fully in, in order to see beyond the identification of broken that had been labeled onto that of his friend. Beyond the attachment to pain or illness, the only thing that any of us are is the manifestation of Light through the vibration of Love. It was a beautiful experience for both of us. I believe I will have a lifelong friend in this man. Before parting I gave him a few things that he could do with his friend to assist her, as I did not feel that I was supposed to be present, or do anything. What had to be done next was solely up to his friend. She had to leave behind what she believed and allow her own life and her own light to reconnect to the God Source that she already is. It would indeed take a miracle, but not one of someone else’s doing, but one of her own… her faith would have to turn within, and let go enough to allow herself to see who and what she really was.

Both of us on our way, I had a couple bodywork clients later in the evening, then meeting with a new friend to go over some sides for an audition tape I was asked to submit for another possible movie role.

The next morning, I was planning to meet an old friend on the beach for sunrise… well sort of. See both of us are at the point that we realize distance and time are only a matter of perception, and it is the understanding of connection that allowed us to meet. He in Long Beach, me here in South Beach: One Sun interconnected through the oneness of creation we met. But he isn’t the only person I met.

Approaching the beach I saw this beautiful woman in a pink top standing on the ocean bank, also waiting for the moment the sun would make its appearance for the day. I didn’t say anything but just kept walking. There was definitely something about here though that I couldn’t explain. She was breathtaking in vibration. She was a true beacon of inner peace and light.

I continued on my path, to quickly find a new piece of coral to turn into a new necklace for the next part of this journey. It was then that I caught myself thinking how much I wanted another picture in the water, as I did on the last adventure to Fort Lauderdale, but it wouldn’t be right to get one by myself. So I kept walking. Soon a couple Sting Rays swam up to shore for a visit. Everything was so beautiful. By now the sun was well beyond the horizon and snuggled in behind a few clouds. It was a beautiful morning.

After going back up to shore for another cup of Starbucks, I looked out and saw the woman in a pink shirt approaching. This time I couldn’t hold back and walked up to her to tell her just how much she was glowing and how beautiful she was. This went into a long conversation about our travels. She is a children’s picture book writer and song writer, Laura Duksta. She was about to head off to Knoxville, not knowing where here path will lead, but following the feeling that it was the right time and place. Knowing that as long as she follows her heart she would always be exactly where she was supposed to be, and that everything would be perfect. Sharing a couple songs, stories and adventures, she had mentioned how she had wished the dolphins would come in, just as a sign. Not knowing where it came from, I looked at her and said you know, you don’t need the dolphins to know you are already being looked out for. I guess her angels had just come in a little bit before and gave her the same message. Funny on how life brings us sign after sign, but so many times (if it’s not the sign we want) we don’t pay it any attention. Laura and I got a good laugh. Before parting ways we became facebook friends and she asked if I would mind taking a picture. How perfect is that, and as you can imagine, I was more than willing.

A little later, while packing to head out to South Beach for a few days, I received a phone call. The lady with cancer’s kidneys had given out, and my new friend wanted me to come and do a healing on her. Again, I asked if the family would be open to it, and as I thought, they said no. I took a moment, pulled out my lotus crystal (the crystal I use to do distance healing) and called her higher self in. I called in my guides for clarity in my role and asked if there was anything else I could do. I immediately saw this woman in a hospital bed. As I connected with her energy and presence, I could see and feel her heart exploding with Divine Light. Her heart was ready to merge back into the oneness for which it was. I was told to make sure my friend and the family was ready to say goodbye. Even at this point, if she chose to allow herself to be freed of all the energy that was holding her from the oneness of the “God Source” she already was, her body may not make it and recover.

The miracle to seek was not that of physical healing, but spiritual freedom. To allow her to be free of the vibration of the ego that was causing her illness. To free her of this vibration in this life would ensure that when she reincarnated into the next life, she would not bring this same lessons or the energy connected to this experience with her. When she or anyone comes back free of the major lessons they came into this life to learn in this life, it exponentially advances their spiritual growth in the next. We discussed a few more things, but mostly laughed. He asked about my journey and my story, and by the time we left I knew it would not be the last time we saw each other (or not). After all, what do we really know outside of our perception of what is, in this moment?

Although nothing like I thought Fort Lauderdale was going to be, the beauty and brilliance of this journey continues to leave me in awe. Thank you to all my new friends, and all the opportunities you offered me to grow in my own understanding of my journey and this thing we call life!!! Next stop… SOUTH BEACH…

Have a Great Day (or not) You Choose
