I remember five years ago how broken I was. I didn't believe in myself. Torn and angry, I saw no way of healing. I always felt a greater power within me that also surrounded me, but I didn't know how to receive it. Looking in the mirror, trying to find my reflection, I just couldn't see it. Born with a positive heart, I was burdened by a heavy darkness that filled me with so much self-guilt and fear. I just wanted to break free. With no money, no job, I had nothing, and I felt that I was nothing. Looking down, all I saw was a pair of empty hands.

I was born with such amazing dreams and abilities, but where was my start? I had no answers! Wanting something so badly but no way of getting it, I just walked that dark and lonely road alone. Finally, I was tired of feeling the way that I did, I made the choice and turned to the one who'd make a way out of no way. The one who'd listen to me and knew exactly what I needed. I fell to my knees and I screamed out to God! I told God all the things that hurt me and burdened me. I talked of things that I was ashamed of and all the things that I wanted. I cried out to God, Help me, please help me. I don't know what else to do. I need you! I was ready to receive all that shall be given. And it was! After an hour-long talk with God, I opened my eyes. It was like the entire room lit up, and all the while, kneeling on the floor, I could feel a presence of peace behind me. Three angels were there, assuring me, We are here, Caché. It's okay. We've got you. You're not alone. I felt so loved! From that point on, things started to change, because I wanted change.

At first, it was just small things, and I became more grateful to even the smallest of things. When I started to love myself and saw the beauty within, I became happier and acknowledged the love that surrounds me. I Looked in the mirror, and I saw beauty as she looked upon me with grace, and every morning, high noon and night, I tell her these words. "I love you, Caché. You are beautiful, and I'm so proud of you. Thank you for loving me, you and we. Now I look at everything as a blessing and a chance. Through the fases of my changes, I became inspired, and I wanted to talk about it, to tell people about my story. Everybody has a story! Through the process, The Act of Love became a story that helped me to heal. With everything that I've experienced, I put all those things into this book.

I hope that this book will help so many people as it has helped me. There is a lot of myself in this book, and my goal is to reach out to everybody and to those who don't believe that anything is possible. I am here to tell you that all things are possible. You can come from absolutely nothing and gain so much in sometimes a short period. It's the point of how bad do you want it, it can be granted you know. I am proof that it is possible, keeping a positive mind and a humble heart. All things are possible. All things happen for a reason in the way that they do. All things have a cause and effect. Just think, if there was an experience that occurred and it didn't affect you, do you think that you learned anything? I know that I have learned a lot, and I am so thankful that I did. Creating your own reality becomes real.

No matter what you've been through in life, you can recreate it, redirect it into something amazing. Turn your negative into a positive and learn from it. Live to inspire and help those along the way, as I intend to help you. I no longer feel the burden of darkness. I am surrounded by love and light, and I wear a smile on my face every day that I wake up in the morning. I see my reflection in the mirror, and my hands are no longer empty. So my message to you is be the creator—create or recreate your reality the way that you see it. No one else can look through your eyes except you, so create your own story and live the day to tell it. Believe in yourself. Trust and have faith! As you are the creator, created by creation the energy source!

Acknowledgments

I'd like to thank God, who I acknowledge as Source! The divine Creator, the great I Am! There's no vocabulary that can help describe to I Am of how grateful I am to be one of many creations. Growing up, I realized it wasn't always easy. I struggled getting through the basics, and I messed up a whole lot, falling down and scraping my knees. I was always able to get back up and try again. Along my path, the divine Creator was always there, coaching me and saying It's all right, try again.

Learning to have faith in myself, I went through many phases through my changes, but I am so grateful that I am able to reflect on the things that I have learned in the past so that I can move forward with grace today. I have so many stories to tell, and with every story, there's always a powerful message behind it. In order for you all to understand my story, you'll have to hear many stories that I'd love to tell you. I am a miracle baby! That's all that I can say about that; if you want to know more, stay tuned. You'll be surprised what you'll find out next.

I want to thank my Wonderful mother, Katrina Shaw, who has inspired me and has helped to awaken me to the power within the light. My mother always taught me about choices, to be mindful. The choices that we make in life determine our future; therefore, we create our own realities. My mother constantly reminds me to always walk by faith and not by sight. If there's something you want, go for it; break the family curse of never leaving the nest to see if you can fly. I remember lying in my bed, and my mother came into my bedroom; she was unhappy with me just letting life pass me by, with the hidden gifts within me. Reminiscing back to 2018, I remember her yelling about my writing The Act of Love! As I was irritated with her, but I knew she was right, and with added confirmation, I had a lamp that only came on by touch. Its sensor only went up to three. After she said what she said, the lamp came on by itself on three, confirming that, yes, my mother was right! I was nowhere near the lamp. I am certain that it was one of my angels. Fast-forward today, I am so grateful for the things that happened, because if they hadn't, where would I be now? There would be no story to tell! So I'd like to say thank you, Mommy. I love you!

I would also love to thank my father, Lorne Daniels, for always telling me that I can do anything I set my mind to. My father always told me growing up that knowledge is power; without commitment, you'll never start, and without consistency, you'll never finish. It's not easy. If it were ever easy, if that's the case, there would be no Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King Jr. If it were easy, there would be no Viola Davis. So he always told me to never give up. You fall down ten times, get up eleven, but with ease it's a greater threat to grow than hard work. So in his words, he asked me to keep growing and bring in the pure greatness within me that I am destined for in my coming future. My father also quoted from Jesus, If I catch a fish for you, you will always need me to catch a fish for you, but if I teach you how to fish, you'll never go hungry. Thank you, Daddy. I love you always!

To my amazing little brother, Lorne Shaw, who's always supportive of all my decisions, I am nothing but grateful to have him as a brother, and I am blessed to have grown up and lived this life with him. From the very beginning, he was always a blessing and my greatest value. I love him very much, my best friend. I am also very proud of him with the changes he has made and with his upcoming career in music. As I live to inspire, so does he, and together we inspire each other and the world. Not to mention he keeps me laughing—we have so much fun together, and together we are forever protected as we stand for love and light. Thank you, bro bro, love you!

For all the things that I have encountered in life, I am thankful for all of it. Staying blessed, humble, and optimistic, I know that it is just a matter of time how effective this book will be to millions of people on the planet, and I am hoping to reach so many hearts. And however I am able to help, it's the small things that are beneficial in the long run.

I would like to take some time out to thank Kimberly Speakman. I have worked with her for almost five years and have grown to adore her. With myself, it's small things that I acknowledge and appreciate. I remember in my first year working with her, I was having a tough day and was not myself. She took a little time out of her busy day to sit in the office, and she wrote me a note. It read, Caché, don't get discouraged. We all go through rough patches. I just want to say thank you for all that you do. I value you not only as an associate but as a good person as well. Keep your head up and keep smiling. Kim. I never forgot that day, and I always kept the note even to this day. Thank you, Kimberly!

To my former coworker Kelly Needles. Kelly is such an entertaining person and always kept me laughing, and I just want to take the time to thank her for the kind words she gave me one year. Kelly's kind words were Sexiness is not a size, it's an attitude. So own it, Caché! I never ever forgot that message. Thank you, Kelly!

To my entire workplace team, you all know who you are. Thank you for always bringing me encouragement. I couldn't have gotten this far without your constant support. Thank you for everything. And to the beloved customers that come through every day, Maurice, Mack, and Mr. Kevin, thank you for your encouragement and support. I'd like to thank Mr. C. Thank you for helping me find a way to get my message out into the universe. You said you'd help me, and you did, and I say thank you!

I want to also thank a very special person who left this earth way too early, Michael Jackson. Growing up, I adored Michael Jackson. If it hadn't been for him, I don't know where I'd be today. I always wanted to be a star, and watching his career blossom, I wanted something just as big. He inspired me and helped me want something bigger than I could ever imagine. At nine years old, that was when it all began. I had to have every piece of music there was of him. I would practice singing and acting, visualizing all that I was capable of becoming. I knew that it was something within me, and I felt that listening to his music helped me bring out my hidden gifts. I remember back in the year 2000, when I was eleven years old, I sat on the side of the bed and prayed to God. I said, Dear God, whatever you do, please let me meet Michael Jackson before he leaves this earth. Now I ask my adult self, what would make an eleven-year-old make such a prayer? Fast-forward to 2009, when we lost the great king of pop. I was torn and brokenhearted. Exactly two nights later, I had a dream that I met the king of pop, and his words to me were Never give up on your dream. Work hard. You will be successful! God never forgot my prayer, and I will never forget that dream. Thank you, MJ! You're always in my heart!

To Page Publishing, thank you for giving me a chance to shine. This is my first ever book, and I am very proud of myself for even getting this far. With your help and by faith, I know I will become even more successful. Thank you to Page Publishing, a team of amazing people working every day to fulfill the desires of the storytellers. I am one of them, and I am proud to have been able to enjoy such an amazing experience. Thank you, Page Publishing, from the bottom of my heart.

I would also love to thank my best friend Sydney. She is my rock, especially when creating this story. Sydney has helped me inspire some of the craziest moments in the book and also has helped me to continue this story. When times got a little blurry, she stayed with me to make sure to finish even though at times I felt that I was unsure of the direction that I wanted to go. She is one of the most valued people I hold dear to my heart. With love always, Sydney, I love you!

Defining Love

Some of the most amazing things in life are fulfilled through the heart. Fully aware of the heart and its qualities. Noticing the traces left behind, leaving a piece of yourself with someone who is in definite need of unconditional love.

Most people suppress the power of the heart and the love that's contained within. Its connection to the power that surrounds us all. That's a whole lot of power and a whole lot of love.

In this modern society we call life, there are those who fear love, and it often saddens my heart because that's not our purpose here, to fear love! We are here because of love and by faith. Most are afraid to express so much of what lives within, and it's sometimes taken for granted. People don't understand that it takes power and strength to love. Giving love to even those who have hurt you in the past. What helps is to let go and to allow love into your heart. Instead of love, they'd rather hold on to fear, too afraid to give their heart. Or in most situations they hold on to ego, or pride. And I just ask myself where is the love, where is true love hiding? Now, I'm not talking about in just romantic ways, and I also don't mean to allow the delusion of something called a fake, what's love got to do with it type of thing either, because even that isn't real. But loving someone unconditionally…

I remember talking to a friend of mine, and she explained to me a situation that had occurred between her and someone she was dating. She explained how much the guy that she was dating had wronged her on so many levels; she felt that she was better off without him. Although I agreed with her decision, I also told her to send him love because maybe there was something that he was lacking, which could've been the reason why he didn't feel or even recognize the true meaning of love. Especially considering that she told me his mother had turned against him. A mother should never turn her back on her child for nothing and no one. So he was unable to give love because he didn't know what it felt to receive love. You see, everything starts from the root, and in return that person chooses to behave in malicious ways. That was his outcome. I call it the lack of love. The outcome of that conversation wasn't understood because her response was Why would I send love to someone who intentionally chooses to hurt me? But sending him love unconditionally could help him through his life path, just as God loves us all and sees the things within us that we cannot see—the light and love within! Sending all those bad memories, all the things that brought pain, sending to Source for healing, it's greatly beneficial. The return will be fulfillment on both halves and knowing you can move forward with ease. The potential to become stronger, allowing us to be able to grow and to take a step farther than where we stand in sinking sand. Sometimes when we allow pain to harvest for a long time without healing, it makes it hard to let go, and even though we tell ourselves, Yes, I'm over it! deep down we're just in denial because we haven't let go to allow Source to help us. So that thing or person, even though it's over that baggage, sticks with us and burdens us in ways we don't understand or don't pay enough attention to. So we must love one another and send healing for one another, mirroring that love upon one another in order to move forward in fulfillment.

When you're born into this world, the first thing you know is love and compassion, overpowered with overwhelming joy. Love has no identity, race, hair texture, or even complexion, because we all are beautiful and we all come from The One But as adults and even young teenagers, we tend to forget and focus upon physical appearances, only! And in the most negative ways. I often wonder to myself "Why? Why does that matter? Don't you want to feel the intensity of an insanely powerful love vibration. Ask yourself what would that feel like if I had that type of love for myself? Most of the time, people only focus upon relations, but what is the value in that, there isn't any, and I've often wondered, is that all that your worth? Never allowing the acknowledgment of unconditional love. There are many other ways to express love and compassion for someone or something.

Love is power. Love can help heal pain and make the pain cease to exist.

In the romantic settings of love, sometimes in certain situations, people fear love because they think too much, allowing negative thoughts to lead them out of love. Some justify that they can't love because they've been hurt or scorned, and therefore, they can't trust. Sometimes it's a fear, like, If I give them too little love, will they love me back? Or too much love, will they run away? So the ending result is that they choose not to love at all, leaving no room for faith. Not trusting and believing in love, the very purpose that we are here. I know because I have often had these thoughts growing up into my young adulthood, and it took time for me to see my reflection of love. I will say it's definitely challenging to help mend a broken heart, but not impossible. Most people choose to neglect the emotion called love, choosing to wear a false mask, preying on soft and gentle hearts, instead of allowing love to grow within.

Another act of love is self-love. Some people mistake self-love for arrogance, and that's not the case at all. Self-love is loving self, staying positive and humble. When you care for self, you care for others. Caring for self, you care for creation. We are all connected. Most never really pay attention to self-love and how it affects us all eternally. Most expect someone to love them without reflecting love upon themselves, with the ending result of a failed attempt at what they think is called love. When people don't love themselves but expect to be loved 100 percent, the love fails, becoming unbalanced. In some situations, people choose to fall in love with someone they think at first is wonderful, then try to love someone that they feel is The One. Until they start to notice the small things, about the person. When you see a small sign about someone in ways that don't sit right with you, you should immediately pay attention and take action, because more likely, that's a red flag, and your intuition is warning you to be careful with yourself. You deserve better. Most will try to overlook and pretend it never happened until it's too late or too much, then they end up with a broken heart and living in confusion. Now question, Why do you think this type of issue occurs? Answer: Neglecting self! Wanting so badly for someone to notice you when you should be the one to notice yourself. Look in the mirror and acknowledge the beauty staring back at you. Instead, people expect someone else to give them the attention, that satisfaction they feel (I'd rather receive) instead of paying attention to the intention of love, that they could give to themselves. It takes love to give love, and to get love is to receive love, so expect love from self.

In order to understand the techniques of love, through the process, it has to start with you. Falling for whatever comes your way may not be the best idea, and settling isn't the best either. You have to be gentle with yourself and your heart. Be mindful at the same time, and take your time, wait for love. Sometimes it takes a long time. It is okay to take your time when it comes to love. True love takes time and patience, and it's always worth the wait. When it comes to a divine love connection, there has to be a great loss, but in return there'll be a tremendous gain, and when that time comes, you'll be hit with a love of a lifetime. The one thing that people fail to realize is that everything starts with self—you attract your own vibration. If you're vibrating on a very low level and the emotion portrayed is to be miserable, pertaining to a negative vibe, guess what? That's exactly what you're going to attract into your life. Now, if you're vibrating on high levels and everything around you is positive, happiness attracts happiness. Once you start to love self, you're going to feel better about yourself, and based upon that love, it'll be as if going into a mirror effect, reflecting the same reflection of love upon yourself onto someone else, who is also attracting that type of love, attracting true love, now isn't that beautiful?. Particularly this could be called a twin-flame connection but even with that, it's not just about love, that type of connection would be something of a lesson, a mission that both twins have to experience but in different ways, it can be hard, but if you're strong enough to love each other, you could break barriers together. Overall becoming one with a soul mate connection, the perfect versions of yourself. Once you do this, you'll be so happy that you made changes within self and chose to love you. You'll be able to live your greatest life.

Loving self allows you to love God, because we are one with the divine power who is God. God is within you, so when you look at yourself in the mirror and say the words I love you, you're telling God directly, I love you.

There are also those who misconceive what they think love is. There are all kinds of love: adoring love, just-cause love, I-care-for-you love, romantic love, friendship love, and the best love of all, unconditional love.

Some fear that love is a sign of weakness when, in true reality, love is power. Love can take you to places unimaginable. Love can help healing through journeys and lessons in life, allowing yourself to keep moving only forward despite of it all. Love often shows up unexpectedly, often revealing things that are inside of you always. I definitely believe that love is very mystical; you never know where you'll find love next. Most of the time, it'll just show up on your front doorstep undetected, or it'll just smack you right dead in the face! You won't even see it coming. Believe the old saying love is in the air; it's airborne—you just get it. Love is so beautiful and mysterious. Heart of a heart and vibration to vibration. Your spirit is very powerful, and when you sit back and think about it all, the outcome is astonishing. The fact that you are willing to give a little more love.

Sometimes I sit back and wonder, Why do people fear love? When I think about love, I think about power. I keep saying it, but it's all in honesty, and it's something a person should never fear.

I can remember having a conversation with someone and how I mentioned my love for a particular celebrity. I expressed to the person that I was speaking with of how much I cared for the celebrity and that I always kept them in my prayers. In return, the person that I was speaking with responded, They're not paying your bills. Why do you care for them? I thought to myself, Oh, wow! Well, why does God care for everyone? Why do I have to reap benefits just because I choose to give love? Love should be highly expressed. God loves all, and we are all created in the image of God, which is the light. Like I mentioned before, there are all types of ways to give love, not just in romantic ways. I chose to send unconditional love to someone that I've never met before, and that is okay. Love can reach far distances and can reach anyone. Love is the highest vibration, and this vibration lives within us all. Love is infinite; there's enough for everyone to share and enjoy. You receive by giving. Love is like the universe; it just keeps going. There is no ending.

It's amazing how love seems to surprise us all. It's like Spirit is cupid or something, connecting us all with someone we never knew existed in this world. You somehow attract them into your life by faith, an extremely strong and powerful energy you can share with someone out there in the world you didn't expect. And you sit and wonder how, becoming spiritually and energetically connected to someone. Love can be destined with a whole lot of lessons, but that's the experience chosen. Love is like a puppy or small child—it's precious. Great love can also mean great challenges as well, but through it all, it all has an amazing and astounding outcome.

I feel something amazing coming, and I can't really explain how. I can't even explain where or even when. All I know is that I know something is coming. Ever since I was a small child, I always knew when something was coming. It's like a gut instinct. You don't know where it's coming from; you just feel. I never understood then what it meant to feel things, but I later learned that feeling is an act of intuition. As the years went by, I started to notice things, things I couldn't really explain, and often it frightened me. Sometimes I felt alone because no one could really relate to the experiences I was having; they'd just look at me funny. So I often kept things to myself. Sometimes I just really wanted to share these occurrences with others. As time progressed, I later decided to learn more about my spiritual experiences, learning to become in tune with self. It was very important to me to become connected because I felt that the inspiration of God was always with me, and I knew I could count on creation to help guide me through this journey. My sensitivity became sharp and intense when I accepted these abilities into my heart.

Some of the occurrences were acts of knowing with no explanation, like clear seeing, the act of knowing through visions and very vivid, lucid dreams, better known as precognitive experiences. I also interpreted through the physical eyes and the mind's eye. I was also experiencing clear hearing, like you're being guided to do something, a tiny sweet and gentle voice, and also clear sensing, feeling when something is going to happen. I later found out what exactly it was that I had been experiencing. I could feel other people's emotions and illnesses, I knew when someone was pregnant or going to become pregnant, and I could also see future events, not to mention thoughts and ideas that later became future events. It's pretty cool to have these abilities because you can utilize them to help fulfill the lives of many. All these abilities are summed up into something called Clairvoyance, Claircognizance, Clairaudience, and Clairsentience—strong empathic abilities allowing yourself to be open to what already is. It's amazing being so sensitive as an empath and carrying these abilities with no fear in your heart, becoming one with all of consciousness.

Beauty by Nature and Creation

I love going outside into nature. I love to feel the wind breeze kiss my face; my skin feels luminous in the sunshine. Just centering myself in such beauty from which we all come. My backyard is like my secret paradise. I like to call it my sacred garden. Just to sit in nature, how good it is, just to be here and enjoy this experience. Just to sit and just be. Beauty—I have already nicknamed her. But most people, for many years, have referred to her as Mother Nature. There was a name already chosen for her, a very pretty name. Her name is Gaia. She's so pretty. I often come out to be with her, and we just chat up a storm, just us two. We've always had such an amazing bond together, with so much to talk about. We are inseparable. I remember being a little girl, and Gaia would come and play with me. She'd embodied herself into a little playmate just for me. She'd be small, with really curly hair, green eyes that looked more like lights, a cute little button nose. She wore like a flower tiara, and she had butterflies for earrings. Her rosy cheeks and her skin were the color of soft pink and yellow roses. She wore a pretty dress made from sunflowers and daisies. She was pretty, a nature little princess. We'd giggle and play hide-and-seek. I was always it! We'd play hand games, make up stories about going on amazing adventures, and most of the time, we did go on these amazing adventures. I had to be about six at the time; we'd go to a place where anything can be created, and in a blink of an eye, it would manifest in a matter of seconds. How awesome is that? She taught me how to use my imagination to create an impact on my life. I wasn't sure what her purpose for teaching these abilities were; I just went along with it. Gaia told me to create with my mind, and so I did. Gaia told me that in time I'd have a greater purpose for why she was helping me exercise these abilities. I trusted her and proceeded to do what really, I felt even guided to do. I'd close my eyes, lying in the tall grass, and I'd hear the honeybees buzzing by, feeling the softness of the earth surrounding the very fragment of my small and childlike body. She'd say, Think as if it already is, and so I did. I'd envision a place that was beautiful, like paradise, somewhere for just Gaia and me to play and enjoy the peace and calmness of earth's serenity. And it was. Just as I created it.

Being outside has always brought me a sense of relief, just to get away from things to help relieve overbearing stress from the mind. My sacred garden is filled with beautiful flowers, mainly roses of all colors: yellow, pink, white, peach, purple, and of course, everyone's favorite color rose, red. Not only are roses beautiful, but they also symbolize great meaning. The yellow rose symbolizes friendship and joy, also representing the sun. I just love how the light from the sun bounces off the yellow, rose bringing warmth to my beautiful garden of flowers. White roses often represent purity, spirituality, and true love, and it's also one of my favorite flowers mixed with white lilies and baby's breath. I just love the very existence of pure love—it's such a beautiful vibration! Pink roses indicate to admire a sweet and kind gesture. There's also the peach rose, and they are smooth and filled with elegance, often representing appreciation. I admire their beauty, carefully paying great attention to their natural essence. Purple roses are surprisingly a sign of love, representing love at first sight. Who wouldn't love that type of gesture from someone special, leaving an enchanted, overpowered, and overflowing royalty of love? Had to leave the best for last—the phenomenal red rose, often looked upon as romantic. Now, when people think of the red rose, they often think love, and practically that's exactly what it indicates, helping to create a deep emotion of romantic desires for that special someone whom you are connected with spiritually. You send a red rose, and the person that is on your mind will feel overpowered with love and emotion. That special someone knows that the rose was sent purely from the heart. A long and lasting forever love. You know? That just gave me chills just explaining that one. With all that it's worth, romance, love, purity, elegance, joy, admiration, and enchantment all circle around love's vibration, which is the highest of all vibrations. So why not surround yourself in such beauty?

That's why I created my flower garden full of roses. I want to be surrounded by love. I also have plenty of other flowers that I admire: sunflowers, daisies, tulips, gardenias, lilies, carnations, lavender, and my cherry blossom trees. So, I guess I created a paradise directly in my backyard, and I'm very satisfied with the results and the benefits that they all bring. I have a really nice guy come by who has helped me to create this paradise, a guy named Storm, whom I met two years ago. He's my best friend Chantel's neighbor. I had always admired his lawn. He has a pergola dining area in his backyard with lightning landscaping, giving it that patio design. I just had to ask if he'd help me to create my vision for my sanctuary. I've always been attracted to the beauty of nature, respecting the essence that surrounds all. With the spring season blooming, the bees come by each day to visit my sunflowers. I've never really been afraid of the bees. Most people are because bees sting supposedly, but they never seem to bother me. The honeybees just love my sunflowers, collecting the pollen from them to create their special potion, honey, very sweet to the earth, a natural sweetener and natural healer. I remember falling off my bike and scraping my knee really bad when I was about twelve years old. My mother, instead of using an ointment, she used honey and wrapped my knee in an ACE bandage. Within three days, it healed up perfectly, with not even a scar left to see. Honey has many benefits placed upon this earth for everyone to enjoy.

It's a beautiful serenity out here. I sense the energy from my beautiful flower garden. Everything in existence has energy and life, so I respect all living things. I often love to talk to the Creator of all living creations. Conversations are always deep and pretty amazing. Whenever I want to talk to creation, I just close my eyes and speak through my mind. You'd be surprised at the simple powers that the consciousness contains, bringing you to higher levels you can't learn in school. Learning by thought is power, and allowing it to take you far distances, you'd be surprised of your destination, manifesting your way through life. I love to come to creation and speak of all things. It's like another way of praying, but instead you're having a full-fledged conversation with the Divine Source, talking about everything under the sun and above. Honestly, I can come to creation with just about anything, and it doesn't matter what it is; creation always comes up with a solution to my problem or issue at hand. Although I come to creation with problems or situation that I can't solve by myself, creation seems to get me to go upon my own decision based on divine guidance. There is nothing that creation can't solve and secure beautifully. Not only do I come with issues, but we also always just talk without issues. I just love to come and chitchat with creation, and it's very comforting. The relationship we have is absolutely astounding, the acknowledgment of the power that surrounds us all, aligning yourself with divine energy.

I just think back to when I was a little girl, when I used to play with Gaia. I always thought of her as nature's princess, but I can't really say that because she is all of nature, the very consciousness of nature's royalty. One thing I definitely remember, she taught me to love myself and to never stop. It is very important to love self, having a beautiful connection with self. Whether your man or woman, it's extremely dynamic having the time to admire self. Balancing that spiritual intuition, a superior quality. Like the number 180. I see this number a lot around on clocks, timers, license plates—you name it, I've seen it. I know it's my spiritual team guiding me through this path that I must go. I am life path number 4, and I can assure you that I am not afraid to spread the wealth, helping to fulfill the lives of many. I've always felt I had a greater purpose here on earth. I must fulfill the prophecy in which I chose to come and experience here on earth. I knew long ago when I was four years old sitting in the back seat of my mom's car, and I mentioned to her that God doesn't like to see people fight. Now you have to ask yourself, how would I have known that? But the fact is, I knew. Children are very innocent, and upon their innocence, they are the most sensitive, so they are strongly connected to the spiritual realm. Following my intuition has led me to great success, and it all circles around one thing: The vibration of love, helping to strengthen my heart chakra, allowing myself to see the inner beauty that always lives within love's true potential.

I can remember going to visit my aunt Melody, my father's baby sis. She lived in Virginia, well she still lives there, I loved going to see her. Daddy always talked about how proud he was of her. I just completely adored her. She was a lot of fun. Aunt Melody was so young and vibrant—in her words, twenty-five years young. She didn't have children of her own, but she'd always send for me to come stay with her during the summers. I had a new baby brother, and although I adored him, I knew my mom needed a break so she could adjust and care for him without all my shenanigans. I was the perfect angel. I lived in Queens, New York, New York, so you could only imagine the craziness sometimes there, and it was always good to get away. I had to be about eight years old. Auntie ran her own business. She was a career woman, a caterer. Auntie's business was called Melody's Creations. She was very successful and very popular in just about everywhere. Auntie had been on the cover of She Can Cook magazine and the Food Network magazine. Her business and award-winning cupcakes earned her quite a fortune, but even through her success, she was always sure to stay humble. She always told me that anything given could always be taken away, in an active result of ungratefulness. She always said that through everything always give gratitude for all that you have.

I remember she'd take me to California to her best friend's house, to Mrs. Pinky's. They called her Pinky because she kept her hair pink and she had a lot of pink items in her house. Most of the time I felt that I was inside a huge dollhouse. Pink was her favorite color. Mrs. Pinky had two daughters, named Belle and Lulu, they always loved watching America's Top Model, and Belle would say, I'm going to be a model one day! And Lulu also would say the same, Me too!

Lulu, you're always copying off me!

No, you're copying off me, Belle! It was fun though. We'd always create a magical place whenever we were together. I loved going to visit. We'd have so much fun playing all sorts of games like dress-up, hide the butterfly, freeze tag, TV tag, hands down 54, hide-and-seek, and even cops and robbers. We were a rare bunch. Mrs. Pinky called us her crazy little bunchies. Don't ask me—I don't know what it means either! Auntie and Mrs. Pinky would get dressed up and look like they were going to the royal ball. Mrs. Pinky's mother lived with her, so I'd stay over for the night whenever Auntie and Mrs. Pinky would hit the town. Aunt Melody and Mrs. Pinky looked beautiful. One-time Auntie wore a long royal-purple gown with a slit going up the left thigh. It was a backless dress with a diamond brooch pendant in the center. Not to mention her shoes. She wore a simple pair of diamond-studded pumps. She looked flawless. Her hair fell to her shoulders. She didn't wear any jewelry. She said the dress was a fashion statement, so there was no need for jewelry. Auntie even had her own glam squad, and both of them came out stuntin. Mrs. Pinky wore an elegant curvy pink satin dress, very sultry, with a pair of six-inch nude platforms, setting her look off with her hair up high and pearls around her neck. These two looked like a pair of supermodels. They were on their way to the All-Star Cook Ball. They had it every year in Hollywood. Aunt Melody was nominated for award of the year, and somehow, I knew she'd win. I was very proud that she had won when she did. I knew she would—my intuition told me she would. It was late and all of us were asleep and Auntie took a peek. I was still awake when she got back. She tiptoed into the girls' room, where I was sleeping, only to find that I was not asleep. I was pretending. Auntie came and sat on the side of the bed and whispered, What are you still doing up, pumpkin head? I giggled, covering my mouth, because I didn't want to wake the girls. Auntie told me that she had won, and I smiled because I knew. She told me when she made her speech, she decided to dedicate the award to a priceless and extraordinary little girl at home named Sapphire, who should be asleep, but she knew I probably was still awake, watching. Auntie also told me, You see, if you work really hard at something, you can accomplish anything. Auntie said that she wanted to share her award with me. Every day that I looked at the award that we shared together; it was a constant reminder that I can do it! I always spoke softly, saying the words, Si se puede, meaning Yes, you can. Then I knew I could accomplish all things. As I started to feel sleepy, I'd lay down, and Auntie tucked me in and kissed me on the forehead, saying, Remember how precious you are darling. I smiled and closed my eyes and went to sleep.

It was pretty amazing to see such success in such a young woman. I loved how independent Aunt Melody was, so self-driven. Auntie was everything I'd hoped to become someday. In a way she kind of reminded me of a superhero, how she was always able to do just what she set out to do, able to do anything she set her mind to. That taught me a lot, like to always stay focused on a dream or goal, even at a young age. Finding just what it is I wanted and launching at it, finishing until I fulfilled that desire. I understood even then I wanted to be just like her, a beautiful, intelligent, wise, and independent woman. But I knew Auntie wanted me to be like myself, living my best life through an experience chosen.

Auntie dated casually. I remember this guy used to come over a lot. His name was Mr. Stone. At first, I thought he was just the handyman, but it seemed that Auntie and Mr. Stone had some sort of an intimate relationship together. So, I guess you can say they were dating. He was a contractor. He ran his own business, and it was quite successful, and it seemed that Auntie liked him. He'd come over and do things for Auntie. I remember he came over one time and put up her gazebo; that gazebo was really nice, both classy and charming, just like Auntie. I became extremely attracted to the gazebo, paying attention to the posture, admiring the flow. It was huge, ten feet wide and twelve feet high, bronze and gold with red velvet trim. She was fancy. I know! I appreciated Mr. Stone's great precise on specific ways to enjoy the gazebo. I had the chance to get to know Mr. Stone. He was always nice to me. But when he would leave, Auntie would say, It's girl time now. Auntie would cook a really nice meal for just the two of us, and we'd have dinner under the gazebo on a full moon. Auntie was very crafty. We'd have pineapple punch that she made out of pineapple juice, mangoes, apples, and pears straight from the fruit, then to top it off, she'd put the punch inside a real pineapple with a butterfly umbrella she created out of the mangoes. I really loved that because I got to eat the umbrella when I was done. Crafty, wasn't she? We'd have sliders and French fries with a savory cheese sauce. Often, I felt like I was at a ten-star restaurant most times, but I guess you can say that I was. For dessert, we'd share one giant sundae, and we'd both create the sundae together in the kitchen. She'd tell me, You can add as many toppings as you want. And you know I did. It was always fun making it together but even more fun to eat it together. Auntie would carry the sundae, set it on the table outside, and play music, and we'd dance and have a good time and tear a hole into that sundae. Auntie was just always fun even when it was just us two. We'd get tired and go inside, watch movies, and fall asleep on the couch.

I asked Auntie a question one day, Are you going to marry Mr. Stone? She'd just look at me with a subtle smile and stared into the distance. I wasn't sure what she was thinking, but I knew she wasn't thinking of marriage. I knew Auntie liked Mr. Stone, but something told me that he wasn't the one for her. She was too outgoing, and he was very content and traditional, according to his knowledge in relationships. Mr. Stone wanted to take control of her and the relationship. Auntie was there to tell him that only she was in control of her life and she did not need him either. He would argue that he loved her, and he felt that a woman should stand behind her man. And Auntie's response was Correction, two people who love each other should always stand side by side in unity as one. Auntie told Mr. Stone that what he was looking for was someone who was a complete submissive, depending on him like a housewife. I thought to myself, What the heck is a submissive? Auntie explained that he wanted someone to need him and to ask his permission, waiting for him, and Auntie just wasn't that woman. I'd be next door, supposed to be asleep, but couldn't help but overhear the conversation. Auntie peeked into my bedroom to see if I was asleep. I pretended I was. Auntie told Mr. Stone that she'd always have love in her heart for him, but she felt that they were no longer compatible. Auntie wished him love and finding the right woman for him. She said, It's just not meant to work out for us. I think that it hurt Mr. Stone because he really did love Auntie, but he understood her and respected her decision. They stayed friends but kept their distances.

Chapter 2:22

(Angel number 222, Alignment has begun and it's time to start visualizing on what you desire)

Be a Creator

Auntie and I would go on picnics together and explore creation. She would say, Create something, princess, and I'd close my eyes real tight. Auntie would then say, Now pause. I'd open my eyes, confused as to what she meant and why she told me to pause. Auntie had later explained to me that I should relax and allow myself to flow. She told me to sit up straight with my legs crossed and concentrate. Auntie would do this exercise with me. Auntie would say, Close your eyes and take three deep breaths. Now visualize. I remembered when Gaia would teach me the same things, so I'd put the techniques together and magic would happen around me. You can't always see it, but you can feel it. I visualized a little girl receiving true love into her heart and feeling the love that surrounded her. Later that day, when we left to go back home, Auntie asked me what it was that I saw in my vision. I told her, and she said one word, beautiful. Now that's how you use your pure imagination, sugarplum. She told me that I was becoming a pro at this ability. She'd look at me and I'd look at her and we'd both just smile. While Auntie drove us home, I would lie down in the back seat and watch the sky and visualize whatever came to mind. I still kept imagining the little girl, It's like had some sort of connection with her. I wasn't sure, but I knew someday I'd meet her.

Auntie's landscaper would come by and do work in her garden, so the both of us would go and sit in the front of the house. Auntie set it up to look like an old Southern belle porch. Auntie had great taste. I loved her round front porch swing bed. It had soft-cushioned bedding with a ton of pillows with the color's gold, brown, and aquamarine. Auntie's sense of coloring was off the chain. Everything just went well together. Auntie had just ordered it from Paradise Horizons and shipped it for delivery a week prior. It came pretty fast. We were happy with that outcome; it was pretty luxurious and enchanting.

Days, we would just do nothing and just be outside in nature, admiring the beauty and sunshine. Auntie would make her famous pineapple punch that I just loved and her famous gourmet orange cream sundae cupcakes. I loved those cupcakes like no other cupcake ever existed. Auntie had told me that she customized them specifically for me, her little darling dear. Auntie was a pro, obviously, in the kitchen, considering her great success from her business. Auntie made the orange cream sundae cupcakes from scratch, something she literally made up as she went along. Most times it'd come to her like how you'd get a thought to write something down, a fresh idea. You just want to see how the script reads. She had made the frosting from scratch as well, tasting like ice cream. I guess that's where she got the idea of calling it a sundae. She made them from love, giving it that blissful and enchanting taste. Just talking about it makes my mouth water. Auntie would say everything that she made and created was through Source, helping her and guiding her through her amazing ideas of food and taste. We would enjoy her creations outside on the swing. I took a bite, and it melted in my mouth. Afterward, Auntie would rest my head on her chest and talk about our purposes in life and how we were all guided and meant for a great purpose. Auntie had explained, Creation created all of creation for a great purpose, and through those purposes we are all accompanied with a set of personalized angels to help and assist us through life. I remember asking her, Auntie what is the purpose of life? Well baby, the purpose is the experience and knowledge gained to report back to source. Why Auntie? She just smiled as she continued, Source created life because the great I Am, desired, knowledge wanting to know what and how it would feel like to experience all things experienced. Auntie also would talk about how we are the great light that lives within this body, so it doesn't matter what you do in life. Creation loves all and lives within us all. Creation never judges us. Creation waits patiently for us to see the light and the power that reveals our true identity.

Auntie also told me that when she became open to the spiritual world, she said that it changed her life, helping her to live a more fulfilling life. Auntie said she always found ways to utilize her power and gifts to help others, expressing that if you see someone who needs help, help them. Your heart is a power asset, and everyone possesses this power, so use it for good only. You should never spite anyone or look down on anyone. Even if they hurt you, there's a light that lives within them too. Even the mean and nasty ones. Remember that God loves all, however you come. The best thing to do is to pray for them, that they see the light within, helping them to remember who they truly are. Auntie also told me that my angels love me, and they always will; they've been with me since my first life and have been guiding me ever since. I asked her, You mean you live more than once? She told me, Yes, there are many life spells, my dear, and there are lessons that we learn each spell. We all have a specific mission. Life is just an experience that we, as a light, choose before we are born. Life isn't what you think, precious. Life to you is just an illusion. So, you have the choice and free will to live your greatest life. It's God's will for you to be in control. Remember that.

On days when Auntie was busy with her catering business, I'd go into the garden. I had a pretty extraordinary mind. I remember being out and sitting near her huge willow tree and writing in my journal. I'd write whatever came to mind. I never had to think too hard on things; it would just come to me naturally. I'd write the words Keep your eyes to the midnight and day sky and imagine things exactly how you see it. I heard a really soft voice whisper the words into my ear. I knew it had to be my guardian angel, who came to visit me. I closed my eyes and imagined what she'd look like. I imagined she was tall, beautiful, with deep, mellow skin, like a mocha cinnamon cappuccino. She wore a beautiful aquamarine gown that flowed down to her feet; there was an aura that surrounded her entire appearance, followed by a beautiful radiance. I looked up to the sun, using my hand for a visor, protecting my eyes, and suddenly, I saw two birds appear on Auntie's willow tree. They chirped such a beautiful song, something from out of paradise.

I lay back to the tree and closed my eyes. I thought about the little girl. I envisioned a very sad little girl. I felt her sadness, and I wanted to help her, but I didn't know how. When I opened my eyes, a beautiful woman in the distance appeared. The woman was tall, beautiful, with deep, mellow skin, like a mocha cinnamon cappuccino. She wore an aquamarine gown that flowed down to her feet. There was an aura that surrounded her entire appearance, followed by her captivating radiance. When I finally realized it, I noticed she looked exactly like the angel I had imagined, and I was so happy that with my own eyes, I had seen her. The angel waved for me to come with her. I had gotten up from the tree and proceeded to walk toward her, leaving my journal behind, and I wasn't afraid, more so curious. As I came close, I saw just how radiant she was. I felt peace and serenity. She made me feel safe and comfortable. Her smile was as gentle and sweet. I said hello to her, and she responded with a subtle smile. She said, Hello, Sapphire, but she never moved her lips; it was like she spoke through her mind. I found that very captivating. I asked the beautiful angel what her name was, and she said to just call her Sweet, because I felt that she was sweet, and she had known that. So, I said okay. Sapphire? I am your guardian angel sent to help guide you to help fulfill your destiny.

What destiny? Sweet would surround us in beautiful butterflies. I love butterflies. She kind of reminded me of a life-size fairy, and I completely adored her. "Sapphire, you are destined for a certain mission in
