Queen of Dreams Radio

For more than a couple of months now, I’ve had this sparkly, surreal feeling while being in my house. I notice it most when I walk down the stairs. I feel as if I am extremely lucky to be living my life. I get the feeling of being inside of a dream…that I live in my dream home. I find that I look over to my office as I leave the stairs and I like what I see. I see the berry pink walls and the glitter, paints and my guitar on the wall. Then, I walk through to the downstairs living room and feel as if I am so lucky to be here.
A month or so ago, I walked down the stairs (feeling this way) and I walked through the living room to the kitchen. I could see the christmas lights twinkling through the living room window. The holly bushes that surround the back side of our pool are covered with small, white Christmas lights. Last year, after years of desiring that sparkle, I placed each strand on the tall bushes. Yet, on this evening, the lights meant that Chance and Mark were in the pool. I walked to the kitchen, feeling my feet against the tile floor and noticed that everything just seemed brighter, somehow richer. I felt drawn to the back door, so I pushed it open and walked out to the pool to watch them. Chance was screaming and carrying on…something I usually hear from inside. I felt happy inside – extremely happy. He and Mark were playing and I could see their pale bodies illuminated next to the pool light. Again, I noticed how everything seemed brighter somehow. The lights were brighter. The pool light was aglow.
I walked inside and started to go back upstairs. I had the distinct feeling of knowing I had created this experience. In that moment, the memory of how this house came to be came to mind. We were looking for a new house. We had an idea of how much we were willing to spend. This house was nearly $30,000 more than that. We had passed on it after the homeowner said he would not budge on the price. We kept looking. House after house made this one seem that much more appealing. I had felt when the homeowner initially said no it was because he had a date in mind when he would lower the price. We knew it was overpriced for the neighborhood. As we continued to look at other houses, I kept feeling that Mark really liked this house. I wanted him to have what he wanted. The last house was my idea.
Finally, one day, all of this built to a climax. While we were looking at another house, a messenger said to me, “If you want that other house, you must go now. There’s another couple coming and they are willing to pay full price.” I turned to our realtor and told her we wanted to go look at this house once more. As we stood in the kitchen that afternoon, I knew what number had to be on the paper for the owner (the husband) to say yes. We worked the numbers so that they worked for us and also showed him the number he must have said he ‘had’ to have before he could say yes. I asked Mark once again, “You are sure this is the house you like?” I had felt that this could be Mark’s turn to choose. I liked the house, I just didn’t care for the living room/kitchen area downstairs…it was galley style. A lifetime of living in apartments had left me not liking galley style areas. But, like Mark, I loved the yard and I loved the upstairs. Mark agreed. We turned in the paperwork, and the offer was accepted. Three days later, just as the messenger warned, another couple from out of state arrived and fell in love with the house (we were still in the option period). They were willing to pay full price – above market value.
This feeling of being ‘lucky’ – a word I prefer to fortunate, for some reason. It has a magical quality, this feeling and the word, a feeling of safety and security. I feel as if I navigate in this energy and it is here to remind me that creation is always available…just like it was when we created this house – our home.
The surreal feeling continues and the incidences keep coming to match this feeling. Wonderful synchronicities, amazing connections and I do feel as if I have entered a surreal existence – one where anything is effortlessly possible. I am so grateful! This is a whole new level of possibility for me… I’ve always felt anything is possible. This is an effortless feeling – beyond anything I’ve felt before.
And, perhaps, the joy this brings is why I so want others to experience it, too. I can’t wait to share my latest book with you.

I have always been fascinated by accounts people have of touching the supernatural. From meetings with angels to other messengers, I love to hear how people connect in the various ways.
In my 20s, I began to wake early in the morning and write for the angels. I wrote letters of hope to those who were facing despair. Mostly these letters went to my brother-in-law at the time, sometimes I had ideas to help people I knew of but didn’t know. Each morning was like a new present to unwrap.
I have seen how creative the angelic kingdom can be… and how earthly angels also can be sent when we need each other.
Since I have watched, researched and seen so many accounts of angels and angelic communication, I was surprised to see a new series that touched me so deeply. Country Music Television’s (CMT) new series, Angels Among Us is one of the best I’ve seen. The storytelling and editing make this series amazing. What I love most, though, is that the series shares the many ways that the angels and other messengers make contact with us. I believe it can help people to listen to their guidance… and those guiding us each and every day.
I can’t imagine a life without connection with Divine… and this series shares how precious each life is. The show also shares that we must always remember to ask for help…as there are messengers just waiting to help.

A few months ago, I went to see Ellany, my friend and gal pal, because we planned to go get ‘makeovers.’
I can’t remember the specifics of how the comment came up when Ellany said, “I see you. When you have your make-up on, and are dressed in your girly shoes and dresses, I know that’s you. It’s SO you.”
There’s something about your truth that grabs you in the throat and heart and gut all at the same time. I blinked many times quickly so that I wouldn’t let the tears rushing from my throat to escape. I wondered, ‘Why does this touch me so deeply?’
I thought about that moment many times in the following weeks, wondering what it was that she could see and others haven’t. It reminded me of something Sonia Choquette said in one of the workshops I attended with her many years ago…I see you is the highest form of love. The truth is…I felt loved in that moment…to the depths of my soul.
It’s so easy for us to ‘see’ people’s flaws, their insecurities, their foibles, their mistakes and, sadly, I believe most people think this IS people’s truth – who they are. I know, FOR SURE, it isn’t. I have not met one person yet who doesn’t have a brimming, brightly-lit soul full of beauty and love. When we focus on people’s ‘ick,’ we energize it. When we focus on their truth, we energize it. What cuts to the negative, can just as easily cut to the positive. To see the love a person is – deep inside…that takes seeing with your heart. Looking with loving eyes.
I remember when I wrote my second book, I had many people telling me that I wasn’t this or wasn’t that. My agent at the time said I was “serious,” not whimsical and child-like like my book. She said my book was too “playful” and wasn’t “serious” enough. At the time, I was struggling to determine exactly who I was. I had been so good at being whatever I needed to be in any moment, the “me” that I am got lost along the way. My agent’s pressing words forced me to look to see what was real – what a gift!
I thought to myself, ‘Well, I can be TOO serious, but my heart, my spirit is playful. This is as “me” as it gets! I am the QUEEN OF POSSIBILITIES!!! It takes a childlike viewpoint of ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE to show up like this!’ I realized, too, that she identified with my business consultant side, which, in our experience together, had been dead serious, because her situation had required it…I showed up in the energy of ‘let’s MOVE’ because that is what the situation called for – dead serious, every moment counts, we must turn this ship around NOW!
The truth is, we all have EVERYTHING inside of us. Every facet, every aspect is waiting for us to express it, as needed. Our ‘expression’ is a blend of those facets we access most often. My entire inner (and outer) life is playing a game. If I shared how many games I have created for myself since I was a little girl, you would see that, to me, life is a big game to play. I make up games to get projects done. I make up games to clean the house. I even teach my inner games to others who just might like to play this way, too. And, just like playing a board game, the gamut of emotions are there too…serious, playful, competitive, concerned and more.
Anyone who knows me knows that I laugh a LOT…and bring a playfulness to serious things such as depression, being stuck, fear and the gamut of other human emotions we encounter along the way. I have lightened up along the way as I have discovered the game isn’t dead-serious. Do I act like I’m at the circus each day? No way – I’m playful, not a clown. One of the things I’m known for is bringing a “you can do this” attitude everywhere I go. However, I can bring a fire starter if people want it. I can bring an edge, too; however, it isn’t my preferred energy. I enjoy being laid-back, on-point and playful. Why do we need to be so SERIOUS all of the time??? Can’t we just do what we love and love the experience, including those we are serving?
That day, in the reflection of Ellany’s eyes and words, I felt that she saw me… my spirit… my truth. And, that is about as good as life gets. Pure magic! Thank you, Ellany!
Tigers…playful and yet dead-serious! 
Looking for a Dream Life:
Last Thursday, my guest did not arrive, so I was able to just ‘talk’ and ‘share’ what I’ve been seeing with clients and with myself. What came out of this deep sharing was a message to ‘Say yes.’ Is this a new message? No. Certainly many people have written about the “power of yes” and “just say, yes!” and “a place of yes.”
But to me, what felt different was what to say ‘yes’ to. I believe most people think of ‘just say yes’ in the vein of the big things that come to us. Just say yes to love. Just say yes to a new career. Just say yes to the thing that most frightens you! And, while each of these is noteworthy, I believe the little yeses may be even more important to lead us to the big yeses of life.
For me, the nudge to detox seemed innocuous enough. Like a whisper, “It’s time.” And, I would say, “Yes, yes, next week.” Or, I would say yes for a day. Or yes for a week. I didn’t say YES!
As I reflect back on many clients and how things started, it was always a little yes that preceded the BIG YES. For me, the little yes was way back last October, when I created an inspired program called Ultimate Well-being. I said yes to that, and that delivered us to an amazing level of well-being in January. The next little yes was the physical component of ultimate well-being. But that one was layered with lots of old baggage. It felt different. Then, finally, the *click* and then the little yes, and this one has opened up a lot of BIG YESES.
Violette often asks, “How do you eat an elephant?…One bite at a time!” The same goes for the yeses. One little yes, follows another little yes, and another and then bigger and bigger yeses start showing up. Today’s detox could be tomorrow’s life adventure, but if you don’t say yes to one, you don’t say yes to the others.
What I love about seeing life from this perspective is that the little yeses are managable. No one is going to be ‘scared’ of the little yeses. They are a little nudge, the little whisper, the giggle on the wind that says, “Are you ready for some fun?” They are open and welcoming. The more you say, yes, yes, yes, yes, then the YES, YES, YESes come easier, too.
I believe we each have a purpose, given to us by God, and every day that purpose is guiding us to whomever, whatever, wherever we need to be all that we are. Will you please say, “Yes?”
Looking for a Dream Life:
Last Saturday, two friends and I hopped in the car and jetted off to a fun girls evening. As I drove, I looked over and saw two blue jays flying down and then sitting on the ground. Half an hour later, I looked over and I saw two cranes. A day later, I saw two doves sitting together under the tree. That same day, I came home and two mockingbirds criss-crossed my path as I walked to the front door. I looked over and, in the bush by my front door, there she sat, cocooned in her little nest with her tail feathers sticking in the air… our new mockingbird. I looked in to see if I could see her and I met with her eye looking right at me…inches from my own eyes.
I said something to Mark about the significance of the pairs. And he said, “Well, you notice birds all the time.” And I said, “No, I’ve never noticed PAIRS, before! That’s what is so exciting about it!”
Then he smiled and said, “Well, maybe it’s because it is reflecting how you feel…connected, in love.”
We each had repairs that needed to be made to our wedding bands. The day before I started noticing the pairs everywhere, we picked them up. My ring is a band of super clear diamonds. The diamonds are not large, but they are dazzlingly bright and clear. Mark’s band is similar.
Perhaps that is it.
For now, I’m enjoying the pairs everywhere!
