For the last couple of weeks, I have been praying, manifesting, wishing, hoping, envisioning going to ICDI, in Tampa, in order to get a spiritual uplift and in my last blog, I expressed my disappointment over thinking that it wasn’t going to happen. Even though I firmly believe in spirit and know how miraculously God and the universe can make things happen at the last moment, I had resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn’t be able to attend. To my surprise, when I arrived home, only one hour after finishing my blog, I discovered that the angels had arranged for the financial freedom to attend the conference. I was beside myself with excitement. Having to complete various commitments on Thursday that I had made thinking that I would not be leaving town, caused me to get a late start on the road to make the 4.5 hour drive from South Florida to Tampa. One of my reasons for wanting to arrive on Thursday was to get the chance to watch Lisa Williams, who is, in my opinion, one of the best mediums of our time, but also a dear friend of mine, on stage during the Pre-conference on Thursday evening. I was aware that two other psychic/mediums would be performing, but I had no idea what the order would be and kept praying that I would not miss Lisa’s segment.The angels carried my car on their wings because I arrived at the conference at 8:50, ten minutes before Lisa came out on stage. Immediately entering the theater area, I felt a warm, inviting energy come  up to me from behind. This beautiful energy was Holly Riddle. Holly is a jewelry designer who has partnered up with Lisa to create spiritually charged jewelry and inspire others to shoot for the stars and surround themselves in love. Holly and I had the pleasure of meeting at the ICDI Conference in San Diego last May. Immediately upon meeting this ray of light, I was impressed by her quiet sophistication, humility, unspoken wisdom and approachability. Within moments, we were joking with each other and sharing our spiritual journeys thus far. I knew we would continue to be friends and even after we parted ways, I continued to have contact with Holly via Facebook and support her in all of her spiritual endeavors, sending her white light and love to support her along the way. She did the same for me and we became even closer friends and tried to uplift each other during the bumpy road in life, which made me extremely excited to see her again as well. When we greeted each other Thursday night, it was as though time had stood still and I immediately felt like it was worth the road trip. After Lisa’s show, we got a little bit of time to catch up, and I immediately noticed how great Lisa was looking, energetically. She looked inspired, happy and grounded. Needing to keep to their busy schedule, we parted ways until the following evening, when we made arrangements to have dinner the following night. It was great to hear about all the wonderful things that the universe was bringing into the lives of these wonderful lightworkers. Hay House is known as an empire of inspiration and spiritual principles and I will always be grateful for everything I have learned from the participants in Hay House events, however there comes a time when you sometimes feel as though it is time for a fresh start and, perhaps, you’ve outgrown the teachers who allowed you to spread your wings. I feel so grateful to have such a wonderful friendship with Lisa and Holly and I am grateful to Hay House for allowing our paths to cross.

I have also spoken a great deal lately about needing to feel spiritually replenished, and spending time with like-minded lightworkers, gave me the uplift I was looking for. I pray that my career will continue to flourish and that I will get the honor to work with Lisa and Holly in the future, as partners on future creative spiritual endeavors, but first and foremost, to continue to nurture and support each other as friends. My wish for my readers is that you find individuals in your life who you are spiritually connected to, so that your friendship can be boundless, regardless of the distance between you or the time between visits. Love, light and blessings, Melissa
