He re-writes a message to her again and again...

I love this recent story about a man who bought a glass scroll necklace for his fiancee. The man wrote a sweet message to her that she would wear around her neck and each time she would take a shower, the paper would get wet and dissolve, she would then ask him to re-write a message to her for her to wear. What a beautiful way to keep his love note fresh!

Scroll Necklaces for Cancer Treatment Centers of America

So privileged to have received an order for a wonderful man that works for the Cancer treatment centers of America. He ordered some scroll necklaces with very inspiring quotes inside of them. How beautiful... and he paid for the necklaces out of his own pocket... what a beautiful person.

Hope in the City Fashion Show - Wear your story

Getting ready for L.A. Fashion week. I had told a friend a short while ago that I would like to create more wearable art. Fashion is such a beautiful combination of engineering and sculpture that is displayed for all to see around town. Sure enough, not even a few days later, my publicist/partner/friend Janet tells me that she would like to create some designs for the Hope in the city Fashion show. http://mosaic.org/hitc/ It should be a great show... all of the designs will be made out of paper!

Had the outfit on my Facebook page but guess that was a no-no so guess you'll have to see this one at the show!

Readings in the Salon

I have been quite happy working part-time at California Styles Salon. I was fearful that working at the Salon might throw me into a pit of superficiality that I would not be able to rise from..... however....it has been quite the opposite.
I have been able to use my knowledge and experience both artistically and intuitively to guide others and have been able to read the energy that they are running and to subtley or more directly shift the energy with my words and through my hands. So Denise, you were right! I can do readings at the Salon while I am working on both hair and nails!

There is alot of symbolism in doing hair as well. I find that I am showing my clients how to " Do the work" as I am honoring and cutting with their natural wave and color patterns. With every consultation, I help my clients get to know themselves by pointing out the placement of their features, color patterns that exist in their skin, hair, eyes etc. and how these natural patterns and colors can be accented or complemented.

It has been such a healing experience for everyone and I am so grateful!

Studio Time

Well, I am back in the studion now. No shows for a little while. It's peaceful.... I do love the shows though too. I am really excited about doing Heartwork readings. It is such a natural progression to creation. We all channel our feelings when we create anyway. I think that when we create, we go into a , trance/dream-like state that allows access to out unconscious mind. It is our unconscious mind that I also believe is our access to the infinite and where we are better able to allow energy and knowledge to stream in. I have come to know things in a state of creativity that my logical mind would never have pondered only to find these things to later be verified by logic. So often our mind tricks us into believing that it is the controller of things but it is really only a reflection of the spirit energy that is flowing through us.

Tomorrow I go down to the Akashic to do a Heartwork reading for Barbara. I pray for openess and lack of expectation so that I can channel without blockages or limitations.

Have a wonderful day........Monica.

Conscious Life Expo

Last night I returned from the Conscious life Expo grateful and renewed. On the drive home I was thinking about how the energy at the show was so amazing. So many people at the show were loving and open. A man at the show came up to me and asked me if I thought it was like the New age version of Woodstock and that seemed pretty on to me. The difference between Woodstock and this event (I can only imagine as I was not born at the time) is that there were probably alot less drugs. No drugs necessary at an event like this when you can be high on inspiration and imagination.

The turnout this year was extremely larger than last year and I think that that number will only be increasing as more people are reaching to understand more how they are spiritual beings first and manifested bodies as a by-product of spirit only.

The massage therapists were really busy at the show... we carry so much stress in our muscles and massage is finally being seen more and more as necessary body maintenance rather than an optional luxury.

I am looking forward to networking with all of my wonderful new friends that I made at the show and have created a Facebook group for the show so that we can connect and share stories online:

So nice meeting all of you at the show..........Namaste..........Monica.
