Once you have begun a new journey in both your mind and your soul, the difficulty lies in the fact that once you believe and have seen the proof of your beliefs, everything transforms.

As I drifted toward sleep, I heard my name being called. Never mind, I was in Hawaii it was time to see the sights! So, I sped off to see Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach and then headed home for an afternoon nap before an evening luau. The air made me somehow, remember that there was a part of me that knew…something…what was it? When the plane landed in Honolulu, I remember feeling the difference in the atmosphere as I disembarked. My husband, daughter and I decided to go to Hawaii. I got busy, my work and the stress of family life took over and I was completely overwhelmed and in desperate need of a vacation.

In middle school, I would sit quietly at my desk adding up the years to figure out exactly when my life would turn around.Īnd then I forgot.

I'll never forget it, I was running down the stairs and the entity, a girl with dark hair, stopped me in my tracks. When I was five, I was visited by a vision.
