It was an incredible feeling on Saturday, February 23rd, to do a talk at our Maitreya Seattle Center and see almost standing room only! Alan and I worked so hard, along with our staff, to make the center as warm and as accessible as possible, and to have those who attended make such positive comments about it just made it all worthwhile. The emails after the event and the comments from a form we asked those who attended to fill out also made what we did even more worthwhile.

For me, this was the second time I have been in this position. In 2003, I stood in a similar center on the top of Tamborine Mountain in Queensland, Australia, and did a deep trance channel to a large group of people, never realizing that in 5 year’s time I would not only be doing it in Seattle, but also living there.

It has been a long road to get me to where I am now on my path, and one that has been rocky to say the least. Not only did I have my own Self to deal with — and that Self did not want to go the way my Higher Self wanted to go — but also other people who told me, first, that I could not do it, and then when I did, that it would not last!

Our event on the 23rd was an incredible evening, and the energy of those who came to assist me from the spirit world was also incredible. I find it very difficult to reclaim the energy if I stop for a break, so I talked for three hours straight. Many people couldn’t believe how I could do that. It is very difficult talking to people about the energy, and how important it is NOT to break it. The work it does on each and every soul in the room and even outside is halved by stopping its flow for a break.

The comments after the evening were so wonderful, and I have had so many emails from those who attended informing me of the transformation in their lives because of the talk I gave. I feel that finally I have “paid my dues” so to speak. I had so much karma when I came into this life which I chose to repay through building the centers in Australia and in Seattle for the energy I channel, Maitreya.

Alan and I are now planning similar talks around the USA and — all being well after our trip overseas in March/April 2008 — we will be able to start that adventure. I sometimes have to pinch myself because I would never have imagined that I would live in the USA, never mind work there full-time and actually be married to the most wonderful man who is a US citizen. One friend told me a long time ago, “It is like a fairy tale isn't it?” and I had to admit it is.

My friends in the world of spirit do not put you where you need to be without a reason, and at this time of change in the USA — so huge, one can almost feel it — I know that I have a bigger path ahead of me. As yet, however, I don’t know how it will come into effect. For now, I just follow instructions from them and, after a huge battle between the Self and my Higher Self, I finally feel at peace with what is happening.

Each month I will be doing a newsletter on some aspect of my life, and I hope you will log on each month and read the latest adventure. It is wonderful after so long channeling to actually have my own website and to have free reign with what I write and do with it. I honestly never thought I would get there, but I am proof that you can get there. I am so looking forward to the next chapter of my life, and to sharing that experience not only with those around me, but also with you very lovely people.
