I am! I am! Pick me! After so many years walking around in what can only be described as an ‘interesting’ experience, I am finally feeling ‘free’ again. I did some intense, amazing work with several key people, and I want to acknowledge them for their contribution to helping me along the way.
My family… Mark (fabulous husband, friend and man who can make anything happen – in oh so many ways), Chance (the boy who reminds me to quit being so serious and lightens up my heart), Nana (who keeps the household embers burning – thank you), Mom (thanks for being you – artsy fartsy, simple, and funny), Debbie (you never quit being Pollyanna, and it reminds me to never quit being Pollyanna too), Rico (our angel dog who reminds us that love is important – especially when it comes to us loving him), Vicki High (what a beautiful light you are – not only to me), Michelle Barr (you inspire me with your courage to follow your dreams), Lonna Bartley (How can so much love be in one person? Thank you for reminding me to love BIG), Lori King (trusting the process… that’s what you do…and what you encourage everyone around you to do too), Minette Riordan (you are an amazing activator, connector, seer of all things – thank you for sharing your world with me), Jodi Hodak (Achiever #2, this Achiever #5 is in awe of all you do – I want to be better!), Brittany Allen (Zoē is such a gift to my inner child – I pray God will take your clowning to little hearts everywhere), Dr. Alyssa (what an amazing healer you are…chiropractic and otherwise…thank you for ‘aligning me’), Jill Luigs (your artistic ability … how beautiful you are in your creations…I feel grateful to have seen your soul’s vision!), Veronica Thomison (hey girl, what an amazing person you are…your heart shines all the time…I love basking in it!), and last, but not least by a longshot… Marta Martinez (you’ve been a friend like I never knew anyone could be a friend. Your heart, your trust, your faith… they inspire me to be better and go higher).
All of my clients who came for sessions, healings and who helped me heal also. Each one of you holds a special place in my heart, and to those who came first, I will never forget the trust you gave to me to learn more about who I am, what my soul wisdom is, and how this can help others. You showed me the truth in ways I can’t even comprehend today…I’m astounded by how God works.
Lysa Mateu – You rock, girl. That’s all I can say. Thanks for showing me that people CAN speak their truth and survive another day. And, thank you for your amazing talents and abundant heart. I’ll forever be grateful for following the persistent urging of my spirit team to call you. Keep being you – you are amazing!
Susan Tate – Susan, you are my model for my inner child. When I grow up, I want to be fun, silly, and free… just like you. Never, ever change all that you are. I appreciate all you have done to help me reclaim my child heart and breathe new life into the Queen of Dreams. She IS floating on a pink cloud!
Kasey Pirbhai – You have made my little light in the internet world come true. Thank you for taking my ramblings and putting them together for others to connect. This site is here because of you! (literally!) and Soon enough, our other site that you built too will be up and running. Thank you for always believing in my crazy dreams of what is possible in the world, and in helping me go for them even when the how is still fuzzy!
Kathy Garland – Ladies, if you want a heart-centered coach who can really bring in the Divine Feminine, then this is the coach for you. Kathy is as inspirational as they come, yet strong and challenging. She holds space for you to really come into your authentic being. Kathy, I’m grateful for who you are.
Steve Straus – The “Coach” for successful people, Steve, has a powerful way of holding space to allow your inner being to connect more consciously. He also has the practical business know-how that has made him an ‘in-demand’ coach for more than 23 years. Steve, you held space for me to let go of so much, and to get clear on what I wanted to let go of in the first place. Thank you for being uniquely you – what a gift.
Jan King – You took a girl who wasn’t sure she had anything to say to the world and helped her find the words. Your talents inspire me, and I appreciate your conviction and passion for launching authors and their creations into the world. Thank you for seeing me.
Dr. Jayne Gardner – You helped me deconstruct the pain in the past so I can work with Jesus’s amazing compassion without going into fear and tears. You have not only helped me, but the many, many people who work with Jesus with me. Your ripple goes on and on.
Velma Gallant – Clarity and Joy, Joy and Clarity sum up Velma’s gifts. She is such a blessing. Velma is a wonderful lazer-clarity coach who helps zero in on that little ‘something’ that is holding you back. Coaching with Velma is fun, joyful, and results-oriented. Velma, you helped me light my flame again when I felt like only darkness existed. How to thank you? I can only say … thanks a million!
Vianna Stibel – Thank you for forging the path in working with God for tremendous healing. You are a light for other light workers. I’m grateful for your teachings – and for Guy, who is a treasure unto himself!
Betsy Bergstrom – In a word, Power. Okay, two words, Heart. Powerful heart. That’s Betsy. I didn’t know why I felt led to her, I just went, and it was one of the most powerful experiences I’ve ever had. Betsy, thank you for what you do and for being such a beautiful example of strength and heart.
Debra Grace – Wow, talk about a dynamic teacher. Debra has the ability to really challenge you to stretch and go big. Debra is a mix between a strong coach and a great friend who sees the possibility in you before you do. Debra, you inspire me with your honesty and truth… what a breath of fresh air.
Mark Stanton Welch – Mark’s music lifts you up and holds you in its sweet tones. The words sooth, the music carries you away. I love how the songs stick in my head and I recall them when I need support. Mark’s presence is palpable, and I so appreciate his peaceful, calm energy. What a gift you are. Your music is always in my heart.
Sonia Choquette – Sonia, you are a masterful teacher and I am so grateful I had many opportunities to work with you. I love how you arrive in my dreams and teach me there, too. You are the Queen of intuition and self care! God love you for never giving up on all of us…and for realizing that we all have a journey to live.
Hefina Glenys – Hefina is a wonderful, beautiful master teacher who holds the highest energy. You were the first to help me come back to who I am. Your friendship is one of my most treasured. I love you so very much.
How could I have a list of gratitude without the beautiful teachers, helpers and spirit friends?
Jesus – You are always here, always holding me in your care. The rolling water I feel around you brings peace to my heart. I am doing my best to do what you asked… To care for your people. Thank you for so many lessons, so gently shared, and for your guiding hand in all that I do. Your teachings about healing…and the healings that have come through you…I am humbled to be of such service.
Mother Mary – The Mother Love that you hold, and teach those of us who hold this energy too, is such a gift. Your presence is beautiful, peaceful, holy. Thank you for holding space as people emerge to the Mother Love they are.
Kwan Yin – When you first came, I had no idea who you were. Your compassionate energy was like balm on my soul. Thank you for sharing your compassionate understanding and love for our world.
Archangel Ariel – Thank you for being my very first teacher, and for your patience and love and guiding hand in my life. I know it was you that warned me about Mark’s car… I just didn’t listen! I’m always reminded of the grace available to all of us when I am with you. Your energy encourages me to be light and free.
Archangel Michael – You must be one of the busiest beings in the Universe! Thank you for your protective energy, for your masterful way of freeing people (myself included) from the energetic cords that bind, and showing us how we create our own demons.
Roger – You were my very first guide! How much fun did we have, and thank you for showing me so much, and being so close to me in my expanding. I will never forget our first meeting – thank you for guiding me and helping me see so clearly.
Isla – Your radiance, your beauty transcended me to another time and place. I felt safe, protected with you as I explored the many planes of creation, and as so many teachers came to visit.

Ricah, Isoah…you are both so beautiful, and I know I am not the easiest to work with… I often wonder, “Why me?” At the same time, I trust in the process most of the time 
. Thank you for never giving up on me. Ricah…you have asked me to dream bigger and bigger… I love you. Isoah…your frequency is so healing, soothing. What a beautiful gift you are!
Lone Wolf – My brother, my protector, thank you for showing me that I never, ever again have to be afraid of what I might ‘feel’ around me. I know you are here, holding me in your care, and holding space as I work with clients, as I sleep, and as I learn. You have taught me so much about trust. You are a giant among giants.
Isis – When you first called to me, it scared the wits out of me. The strength of your energy was something I didn’t know what to do with, and yet it is that strength that I now call my own. You took me on a ride on your horse around the moon, the sun and the stars. I’ll never forget this invitation to remember where I come from.
The Three Flames – What you do to inspire and uplift! Thank you for the gifts you bring to all those who come for messages, alignment and healing. Irator, Gaylor and Jasmine – each of you have such amazing ways of sharing.

About 20 years ago, I received a phone call from my grandmother. She had been in a drunk driving accident, and although she was not hurt, she was very scared.
When I arrived at my grandmother’s apartment, I found her sitting on her couch looking three shades of white. She looked like a little child sitting there, and I could not imagine what she would say to me when I asked her what happened.
The accident took place over on the north side of Fort Worth off of an old highway that used to serve as a main artery for the city. I knew exactly where the accident took place because I had taken my driver’s test over there, and nearly failed it because of the two lane street that opens up to a four-lane highway confused me. I didn’t know ‘where’ to drive or which ‘lane’ went where. The four lane empties into a little two-lane street that drops down at a nearly 90 degree angle. When you point your car down that road, you literally can only see the trees above you as you descend down the road.
My grandmother was on that narrow two-lane street driving home late one night when her car veered into oncoming traffic. She had just closed my great-aunt’s bar, had had a few drinks herself and was headed home when she struck a car head-on while diving to grab her cigarette that had fallen into the floorboard.
Wow, can you imagine?
Her Chevy Caprice was totaled. My grandmother told me of a wonderful black woman who had been driving the other car. She was a ‘big’ black woman with a heavy Cadillac, and she was unhurt. “She was only worried about me…was I alright?” my grandmother said. “She cared more about me than she did about her car that was wrecked – even herself!”
My grandmother had been extremely racist her entire life. In that moment, I knew she had let it all go. My mother was not at all racist, and extremely tolerant and forgiving. My brother is half-Spanish and I am half-Native American. My grandmother had been so racist, so intolerant of our fathers. And, in that instant, not only was she healed, but so were we.
I had never seen my grandmother afraid until that day. She was terrified of what was going to happen to her. She had always done what she was supposed to – paid her taxes, followed the rules; this was beyond her rulebook.
I have written about my ex-brother-in-law who was an alcoholic, and it was his attorney that took very good care of my grandmother and kept her out of jail at 70 something years old. The black woman never pressed charges, and I can only imagine the number of angels that would create a healing scene like this.
My grandmother never drank again. After a life of cigs, beer and booze, she walked away from the alcohol and the cigarettes weren’t too far behind when her mind gave way to Alzheimer’s and she literally forgot she smoked!
Sometimes when things happen we like to tell stories, blame people, blame ourselves, and sometimes all that is needed is to receive the gifts and to say thank you.

One of the best things about having a 10-year-old in the house is the art that comes out of his imaginative mind. Each day, he wanders into the dining room and creates some kind of art for the day. No matter how much I ‘play,’ I simply don’t create art that looks like this. It’s whimsical, playful, impractical…so, well, artistic. I mean, if this was mine, I would only have one smiley face…where the face goes, you know? But here’s Chances, and the more smiley faces the better, it seems. I appreciate these days. Wandering in to see what he has drawn today and to enjoy it until tomorrow when another equally as childlike piece will take its place. So fun!
Ever get a message in many ways? Well, this is what happened to me this week. I received an email from a friend who was reading my blog and he told me he felt downright sparkly after reading it. And another reader emailed to tell me she felt like I really ‘got’ how she felt.
I had been wondering…Is my blog something I should continue to do? Does it make a difference? Am I connecting heart to heart in a way that matters?
I got my answer in many, many ways…and Beverly sent this post to me…for you. As much as I share and serve to remind…LOVE YOURSELF…I still find myself in tears of gratitude to be loved so deeply.
Enjoy!
Love,
Tina
Sometimes the things that are right in front of our noses … those beautiful every day things … are the most important messengers, but because they are there every day … we might tend to love them, yes, but also quickly move on to the next, and the next, and the next thing in life … without stopping to say “Thank You. I Love You” …
So I am stopping right here, right now … in the midst of just a little J chaos in my home as I prepare to have all the old flooring replaced with new… and this is what I am stopping for … to say Thank You Tina … and I Love You Tina … for all you do and for all you are and for sharing with sooooooooooooooooooooo much joy about beauty-full Life.
I had taken a moment in the midst of my to-do list to read your Blog. There I was transported from my world of ‘to do’ to a world of ‘done’ … beautiful hand-painted silk scarves … a young boy who got his magical snow day … a snowman made by boys in shorts and sandals and one big dog who knows he is a person too … parties where joy abounded, so much so that it spilled out into Tina’s Blog and into my home and my heart.
When I went downstairs and looked at the ‘chaos’ again … everything seemed brighter for some reason … the bags, the boxes, the files had taken on a sort of whimsical energy … and what once felt like work now felt like playful interaction with all that awaits my participation in the game of life !!!
So I started thinking … where else is Tina gifting her beautiful messages in my life and in the lives of so many others. I just had to smile … talk about a big list! … I think everyone can relate to what I mean here! I have concluded that Tina’s life itself is one big beautiful message she is sharing with us all … and how lucky are we because each precious moment is infused with such love and joy it literally infuses us with love and joy too! What a precious blessing that is!!!
So this one is for you dear Tina … a Miracle Messages of Love through your beautiful Heart and Soul … with deepest gratitude and a big hug!!!
Shared with You with Love, Beverly…

Maybe it is because we just got back from the gorgeous, autumn-flavored hills and valleys of Maryland, D.C. and Virginia, maybe it is because our Halloween Party was so much fun, and maybe, just maybe this is a really, really special year full of more magic than my heart has anticipated in a very long time.
Before we left for vacation, Mark and I hustled about cleaning and clearing out clutter in a way that made absolutely no sense as our vacation was just days away. I mean, Really? Is cleaning the garage the most important thing to do before going on vacation? Apparently it was. We donated, threw out and reorganized everything in the garage. I felt guided, directed, virtually compelled to clear the space.
Even though I kept eyeing the Christmas decorations, we dutifully put up all of the Halloween decorations (our backyard transforms into a Halloween Wonderland each year).
After the party this past Saturday, we put up the vintage decorations, and bustled about cleaning up the house. Mark emerged from the garage with a Santa hat on his head and it both cracked me up and delighted me as my heart is already swimming toward this holiday season. The weather Sunday felt amazing…a cool breeze as we moved about in the backyard.
We are invited to Thanksgiving dinner with sweet friends – a real ‘down home’ style Thanksgiving – and I already have the dessert menu planned out. Pumpkin Pie, Brownies and Banana Pudding ought to cover everyone’s cravings.
Yesterday, I woke up with the most unexplainable urge to listen to Christmas carols. Pandora streamed Christmas tunes, and though I couldn’t write to Bing Crosby’s White Christmas and had to switch back to classical instrumentals, the vibe must have been in the air.
When Chance came downstairs, he dressed Rico up in Mark’s Santa hat, and much to our surprise, Rico ‘posed’ (almost like Secretariat) for these photos. LOL
Rico is four now and in English Mastiff years that means middle age. It’s hard to believe our forever dog has been with us that long. He’s starting to get grey in his face and his left eyebrow has some grey too. He is still the same sweet, mellow fellow we took home so many years ago.
