Sunday night someone I know posted something on social media. Well to say I had a trigger would be an understatement. I had a trigger.
You see, part of my journey has been to experience earth school in a large body. I am still healing that part of my life and coming to terms that I chose it to have the experiences I am. Every day I choose healthy and every day I wake up to the same body. This body is my earth suit. It has carried me through childhood, adolescence, adulthood, becoming a lover and becoming a mother. It carries my soul around and when I got to the diagnosis of diabetes I didn't heed God's whispers and God presented me with a diagnosis of Cancer. Soon after that day, I began my healing journey. I had to heal all the name calling I endured. I had to heal the hurt my phys-ed teachers caused by calling me names. I will never forget one male physical education teacher who would ridicule me all the time. I hated going to that class. Yes I went. I never skipped a class. When I think of it now, I wonder why I never told my mom? hmmmmm!! Healing the inner little girl is bringing up all this old pain. I should have said something. It wasn't right. Fast forward to today. I am recognizing my worthiness and I am a teacher who every day encourages people to dig deep to find their worthiness. Putting yourself down or making a mockery of yourself is not ok. I had to learn to love the skin I am in right now! Not 100 pounds less from now. I know I had to love myself enough to heal and to learn to see myself through the eyes of love. When I messaged this person, they said they were making fun of themselves and so deleted the post. Our conversation could have gone bad, but it didn't. I explained myself to them and they understood. I hope that it was a teaching moment for them. I told them I am not a fat piece of shit.... I am a beautiful creation of God and no longer will I just ignore when someone I love is making fun of themselves. There is a loving, compassionate way to do it. I believe she saw what I saw and how I saw this post. People have skin, nails, hair and fat. They are not fat. God created us. Imperfectly perfect. And until the day I leave the physical world I will be a change maker. No longer will I sit idly by. Use your lessons to heal each other. Who knows, maybe I did affect change. Maybe I didn't. But for me, I spoke up and it made all the difference. Today, is my Archangel Chamuel day. Archangel Chamuel is the Archangel of unconditional love and adoration. We are so loved. I just know He and Mother Mary were nudging me to speak up. There is so much more to life to worry about than our weight. Of course, health is important. We strive to do our best and remain healthy. We do not have to beat ourselves up because of the number on the scale. It is just a number. Be kind to yourself and then allow that kindness to ripple out. Words have power. Choose yours carefully and watch your self talk as Y O U are listening. The body responds to it all. If you love your body, it will love you back. When you don't, you will experience sickness. Yes my friends it is true. Love yourself. Be your own best friend. Start today. I created an acronym for HEAL it is HELP EVERYONE ALLOW LOVE in. Allow healing in your life. Love yourself. Your life depends on it.

Having your fur daughter pass in your arms, with her little head on your heart, was one of the hardest life lessons I have ever had to walk through. There is not a moment of any day since January 18th 2016 that has gone by that I don't think of her and miss her terribly. My physical body aches with her loss.
Bella was not just any doggie. She was one of the sweetest souls I have ever had the privilege of loving, nurturing, growing with and healing with. In June 2011, Bella was only 4 years old. That is when I was diagnosed with stage 3 peritoneal cancer. I was devastated and scared. Family and friends were interesting in their energies in response to the diagnosis I had been given. Some people showed up more. Some disappeared. The word CANCER scares people and instead of dealing with the unknown and perhaps facing your death, some people ignore you. After all, everyone has their own lives to live. The only soul that loved me unconditionally was this little girl Bella. She would follow me everywhere. She would cry when I left the house. She would wag her tail wildly when I returned and jumped up and down until I picked her up to cuddle her. She was pure love. As I healed my body, Bella was my constant companion. When I walked through my hell days of chemo and could only lay on the couch, Bella would curl up behind my knees and just stay there until I moved. Bella only weighed a few pounds but she thought she was a guard dog. I will never forget the day I was working at my kitchen table and she she starting barking incessantly. That made me look outside and there was an intruder! Thank God she warned me. I had enough time to call the police and my husband. They apprehended the guy and all returned to safety. Bella especially loved, Paulo sr, Paulo jr and Pina so so much. Bella thought she was Paulo jr brother. She would protect him if I raised my voice. She sensed when he didn't feel good and would sleep in his room on the floor. In the early years she would sleep in the laundry room. After the illnesses Paulo jr and I walked through, she would no longer sleep there and insisted to sleep in my room right under my head of the bed on the side I slept on. She wanted to be close to us. Bella became ill the winter of 2015. By January 1, 2016 she was seriously ill. she lost so much weight and was so skinny. We called the vet who did tests. Initially it was thought that she had diabetes, however it was assumed she had cancer and the vet asked us to make a decision on how to proceed. It was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make. I knew she needed to depart the physical world in peace and with grace and dignity. The vet validated that. Thank you to "Vets to Go" who sent Dr. Paty to us. Dr. Paty and I cried and cried. Bella was playful up until I picked her up for the procedure to begin. Her playfulness was a testament to her love for us. Paulo sr. had to work the day Bella departed. He was the one who walked Bella every day. He wasn't here as Bella crossed the rainbow bridge, but I made it beautiful. I sang to her and I prayed over her. Paulo jr was here with me too. Bella was so loved by my sister Pina and loved Pina so so much. Bella was and continues to be our fur angel. Pets aren't just animals. They are souls in fur. They are an important part of the family. My heart is healing. My family is healing. I miss her so much. Paulie was brave and held her limp body after she returned to Heaven. I am so grateful for this fur angel. I can't wait to see her again in heaven. In the meantime she sent us a sign in the clouds..... see below. When I was healing from the cancer diagnosis of 2011, I was guided to a man named John of God. Healer and trance medium John of God- birth name (João Teixeira de Faria) welcomes thousands of visitors each year to his center, the Casa de Dom Inácio, in Brazil. John of God was born in 1942 in the village of Cachoeira da Fumaca and experienced a difficult childhood, leaving school after only two years to apprentice in his father’s tailor shop in order to help support his struggling family. As a teenager traveling the country looking for work, he followed a vision and found himself at the Spiritist Center of Christ the Redeemer near Campo Grande, Mato Grosso. It was here that João had his first experiences as a medium. Unable to understand the witnesses that claimed he had been incorporated by a spirit and had performed more than fifty healings when he passed out one day, John of God sought protection from the director of the center as his experiences as a spirit medium began to unfold. After an intense period of spiritual instruction and guidance from the spiritual entities that incorporate in his body, he gave himself over to his experience of healing and serving others, practicing his healing work discretely and occasionally suffering persecution or imprisonment for it. John of God eventually found protection in the army, where he became a tailor as well as a favorite spiritual healer for military and civil authorities after healing an injured military doctor. He later became a successful businessman, which allows him to operate a healing center called the Casa de Dom Inácio in Abadiânia, Brazil, where anyone can be seen for no cost. Three days a week, John of God receives visitors from all over the world for healing sessions during which he allows “spirit doctors” to take over his body to administer physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. Described as “an immaculate example of generosity and charity...[who] gives to those in need without strings and with such grace,” John of God is committed to being a conduit of love and healing for anyone who needs it. In March 2013 I was blessed to travel to Toronto, Ontario to be in his energy. It was one of the most sacred days of my life. The feeling I can equate it to is extreme love. I felt the love of the Divine. In the morning we prayed and meditated and listened to music. In the afternoon we made our way into the second room where he was. I cried the entire time. I felt loved. I felt connected. I felt safe. My life has been enhanced because of my time there. I have made an amazing connection to the Casa since then. Her name is Marilee and I consider her my spiritual momma. She has loved me, supported me, sent my photo to the Casa and sent me herbs. She is my connection and I love and appreciate her. He is able to incorporate many different spirits including St. Ignatius of Loyola, King Solomon, Francisco Xavier and Drs. Augusto de Almeida, Jose Valdivino and Oswaldo Cruz. This unique ability gives us the rare chance to interact verbally with these entities and ask for advice and help with health and life issues. This is a rare opportunity and we should hold it as such. There are many thousands of Healing Spirits of Light that work at the Casa de Dom Inacio. These spirits are referred to as "The Entities" by those at the Casa. The word for "spirit" is the same as the word for "entity" in portuguese. The Entities of the Casa are highly evolved spirits who are very familiar with emotional, mental, physical and spiritual disease and their mission is to help humanity through the work of John of God. Only one of these Entities can incorporate in the physical body of John of God at any given time, but there are many others that are giving their time and energy to the work during a Casa session and beyond. Some of the rules are: The Entities request that all participants wear white clothing to the sessions at the Casa. Furthermore sleeveless shirts, shorts, cutoffs and very revealing clothes are discouraged. (You are free to wear other colors in the Casa grounds if you are not going into the current rooms.) Your clothes should fit comfortably and not be tight around the waist. If you cannot avoid wearing a belt, you should loosen it when sitting down in the current room. It is also respectful not to wear a hat or sunglasses in the current room. There are different lines that one goes through whether you have been there before or not and if you are having an intervention or not. This is spiritual intervention. What it means.- The entities have scheduled you for a spiritual Intervention because they see this as the best way to take care of your concerns. This could be Intervention to resolve a current physical ailment, Intervention to affect your energy in order to resolve a future health problem or Intervention to clear some spiritual issue that is affecting your life and your mission. Regardless, you are scheduled for an invisible intervention and here are some things you should know. Then we eat a blessed soup to integrate energies. We rest and sometimes we get prescribed herbs that help heal or blessed water. You can read all about it here: www.friendsofthecasa.info/A_guide_to_the_Casa_de_Dom_Inacio_V2.3.pdf I will never forget my experience. To me it meant a lot. I brought home a blessed triangle that is very special to me. I can put prayers in it. I am grateful for all my experiences. The patron of the Casa is St Ignatius of Loyola (aka Dom Inacio) who founded the Society of Jesus (also known as the Jesuits). St Francis Xavier assisted in expanding the Jesuits in Asia. The four primary spirit doctors that incorporate in John of God are Dr. Augusto de Almeida, Dr. Oswaldo Cruz, Dr. Jose Valdevino and Dr. Jose Pentiado. There are a total of 46 spirit entities that have incorporated in John of God during a session. It is not unusual for several Entities to show up during a single session, switching in and out without being noticeable. Some of the pictures are replicated from paintings donated to the Casa de Dom Inacio in Brazil. Prints are available for purchase from the Casa bookstore in Brazil or online via the Casa Photographer Karen Leffler at Life is a series of lessons. Every day as we live and breathe, a higher power is orchestrating lessons to walk through, overcome and learn from.
You would think I trusted with my whole being, but I am human and my ego sometimes rises up and plays tricks with me. It rears its ugly head and tests me. Do you trust? How is your trust? A course in miracles says " I trust my brother who is one with me". Today I got an email from my mentor Lisa Natoli, of the "Teachers of God organization" who teaches me ACIM. She asked me those questions above. I found it very timely. Two weeks ago my husband had a skin growth removed from his leg. For all this time I have walked through, trust and fear. I went back and forth. I was making myself crazy with fear. It is one of my old patterns. I actually even fell yesterday because I was so off balance. I got it big U! So I read her email and read these words.
these questions:
Trust and faith go hand in hand. When things seem bad and they sometimes will, when you feel overwhelmed and you sometimes will, when you feel angry and you sometimes will, it is all based on fear. ACIM teaches that this would be the separation from God. You are trying to control a situation on your own. The opposite of fear = trust. Trust is faith in God. Faith in Love. Love is the supreme energy. Love is the basis of all there is. I somehow allowed my ego to run me. I forgot the truth that no matter what God, Universe, Source, Creator has my back and that no matter the outcome I, and my family, would be ok. I know why I lost some trust, not feeling good, experiencing a health crisis made me weary and not have faith. God had to bring this lesson so that I could teach, Faith and TRUST. ACIM teaches Heaven is a decision I must make. Even though I spent time with God each day, I was trying to control the situation. For a moment I forgot the truth. I became separate from my God. So now I remember this: 1. We have deep wisdom and knowing energy and light within us. This is our Christ consciousness and our Christ light in us. We are a part of God. God is a part of us. We are all one!! 2. I forgot to surrender and trust God and my angels that everything would be ok. 3. Everything that is always happening is for our highest good according to God's plan for our life. 4. Sometimes not getting what we want and things going our way is a gift. The bottom line is this, when we trust ourselves and trust in GOD.. all really is well all the time. A good affirmation to say over and over again is this: I trust the Universe to support me always and in all ways!!! There are five main lessons of earth school and they are
Today I offer these words of comfort. Grace is when God gives us good things that we may not deserve. Mercy is when he spares us from what we deserve. Blessings are when he is generous with both. Truly, we can never run out of reasons to thank Him. God is good all the time!!! Amen. I had a valuable lesson these two weeks. I had to go through this intensely and really have my world shaken up. I had to walk through the pain of the expansion, realizing that is where more light entered me. I am light. I am love. I am forgiven. I am human. I am an amazing soul learning lessons so that then I can teach. How blessed am I?? We all are. And I am happy to say Paulo is healthy and we are so happy. I love my life. I love my husband. I love my family and I love the lessons. Grace and ease during the expansion (my word for 2017). ahhh.. and breathing... Peace, Love and angel blessings to all of you.. and a lot of TRUST. I love you all. Giuliana Saturday is my Archangel Zadkiel day. He is the Archangel of forgiveness, mercy and benevolence.
His name means "Righteousness of God." He helps with forgiveness of self and others, emotional healing, compassion, freedom, finding lost objects and memory. His colour vibration is violet and his gemstone is amethyst. To invoke his energy, just say: I now invoke the violet energy of Archangel Zadkiel. I ask you to surround me in your light of forgiveness and mercy. Please help me forgive myself and all others so that I may lead with an open heart. Help me release old pain and grief. Help me connect to the love I am. I am worthy of forgiveness. I am forgiven. And so it is. We forgive because we deserve it. We forgive because it sets us free. To release old pain, a really good exercise to do is to write and burn the letter. Say whatever you need to say. This letter is not to be sent. It is for you only. Always burn in a safe place. When I woke up today, it did not surprise me that I was inspired to write. Today is my Archangel Gabriel day and he is God's messenger angel. He helps us to communicate with truth. He helps us write. He helps us speak. These are the days where I usually feel guided to do live video on FB. But not this week. Nope. This week I am still walking through some old pain and grief. I have a wicked virus and I feel like I have been hit by a bus. But what I am grateful for is that I have amazing family, friends and teachers who are so supportive. I am a tender heart. I am human. I love to work and play with angels, but I am no angel. I am perfect to God but I am imperfect. I am a soul having this earth journey of mastering the 5 pillars of why we are here. 1. Unconditional love 2. Faith 3. Trust 4. Forgiveness 5. Compassion. Life is an opportunity to practice these five principals. The good old ego will try to keep us small and in fear and anger, but through the love of the Divine, forgiveness of self and through the power of gratitude you can heal. Over this year, I have had to walk through a lot of self criticism. I have been so hard on myself and I have had to turn that self criticism to self- love. Working with Mother Mary has been instrumental in this. Her healing quality is self- love. She has taught me to fill up my cup first so that I can be a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and human. She also has taught me to only do things because I want to and not out of obligation vibration. She is our Divine Mother and she has helped me heal this wound in my heart with these females in my life. I get the part that they are some of my greatest teachers. Allowing them to affect me is the part that is up to me or not. I must stay strong and continue on my journey. I know I am growing my spirit. I have a job to do and they are not a part of it. One of my mentors helped me identify the wounded child I had within me. She also helped me identify my mother martyr energy. Through her mentorship I am healing that part of me that needed them to show up for me a certain way. Now, becoming empowered and more of a woman, I realize that I have the help of legions of angels, ancestors and the love of family and friends who matter. And to whom I matter. I matter!! That's right. My worth is not dependant on what THEY think of me. hmmm.. interesting right??? Totally an ahh-ha moment there. Last year I had a growth spurt with those people who were close. Even though I apologized three times, they decided to turn their backs on me. You see I called them selfish, self-centred and self-absorbed. They are. But what I learned from Sunny is that people who are selfish teach us that we need to be more like them! What you say? YES!! They teach us to put ourselves first. But there is a way to do it correctly. There is a way from your heart. Then there is the way from the ego. The ego says, no! How dare she say those things. If they had been in their hearts they would have looked back at the over 30 years of kindness, love and energy I gave them. That's ok. God is watching. God loves me and them. I know that. A Course in Miracles teaches to let go of grievances. Only then are we truly the light of the world! I know I am a shining light. Walking through a human moment does not dim that light. Even though sometimes it may feel like it. I know that through the power of forgiveness, of self and others that I can become whole, perfect and complete. Believing it though takes some work. When there are family occasions and they choose not to come, it makes for unsettled family dynamics. You see, now Paulo, Paulo jr and I know how important time is. Walking through cancer, epilepsy, and a host of other life lessons has awoken us. We get that not everyone is able to see from our perspective. Ha! The other day mom sent me a meme that said, turtles can't see from a giraffe's perspective. I got what she meant. We all see from our own view. We only know what we know. Because I am evolving, so are my men. Sunny told me that would happen. Energy is amazing like that. Today, I am working again on forgiving myself. The flu I got and the emotions behind it is this: vulnerable, tired, frail. Overwhelmed by the negativity that surrounds you. Feeling like you have to carry heavy burdens that you can't handle. Feeling invalidated. Confusion and chaos inside you. In need of a 'time out". check. check. check. The cold emotions are: scattered, too much to do, too many responsibilities, too much pressure to perform. Refusing to listen to your body and slow down. Feeling overwhelmed, overworked and worn out. In need of time to yourself. Confused about what choices to make. Again, check. check. check. ( book image below) Well! All of this has made me turn within and listen. I don't know what all the answers are but I do know I matter and in that vein I will pick myself up, brush myself off, take the hands of these amazing powerful women teachers of mine and I will rise like a phoenix from the ashes a better version of myself. Because you better believe, I know God expected me to not fall down. His power and strength is within me. As long as I have breath I have an opportunity to affect change and to teach from those parts of my journey that had the most pain. That is how all the great teachers teach. I am a part of them, they are a part of me and we are all a part of GOD! Worthy! Valuable. Enough. We are the light of the world!!! And with that light and this learning I am and I will SHINE brighter than ever before. And with these same eyes of love I will send love to those people. You see, they didn't see my love. But I can continue to be Love. That's what God wants of me and I love Him so much that I will do it. Not for them, but for me. And because it pleases the Lord. Amen! Today I purchased my ticket for the Velva Dawn Silver's 'Shine Event" Choosing Courage, being held at the Azuridge Estates hotel on June 10, 2017. The link to purchase tickets is www.eventbrite.ca/e/shine-choosing-courage-event-tickets-31080451467?aff=efbnreg I want to take this moment to thank this amazing teacher for all her help. At this time I also want to shout out to Sunny Dawn Johnston. She continues to teach me and guide me and keep me the best version of me. I can't wait until she graces us with her teachings at the Spirit Talk- and Angels and the Afterlife days that she is doing in Calgary in June. the links are: sunnydawnjohnston.com/calendar/calgary-angels-afterlife-celebration/ sunnydawnjohnston.com/calendar/spirit-talk-sunny-dawn-johnston-calgary-ab-canada/ I also want to thank Crystal Andrus Morissette. She has helped me heal the inner little girl who wasn't speaking up in a healthy way. The SWAT institute and their mentors have been instrumental in my continued healing. You can find them at www.swatinstitute.com. They have accredited coaches waiting for you to call them. There are also numerous others who continue to support me and for that I am eternally grateful. Thanks for being a part of my amazing crazy journey that we call life. I love you all. If I can be of service to chat about my lessons and what I am doing to heal please make an appointment in my schedule. I would be so pleased to make you a cup of tea and have a chat. Or if you prefer a phone meeting or reading we can do it that way too. There are many options to connect with me. Namaste. What's on my mind fb asks.. well #BellLetsTalk is today. This is a day dedicated to awareness of mental health issues. I have dealt with depression at different times over my 52 years of life. I am a sensitive person who didn't know how to deal with life in the way I do now. I have been on antidepressants. I have been so sad I didn't know how to move forward in life. I walked through cancer and was angry. I have felt rejection. I have felt unworthy. I have felt ugly. I was my own worst critic. and then I started a healing journey with God as my anchor, the angels, guides and goddesses, and I have never turned back. I don't judge those of us who require meds to help us get through the day. I honour each of our journeys. I also know what has helped me. Healing through it all takes all kinds of treatment and modalities. It is said we are as sick as our secrets. Not that I have huge secrets, but all of us have parts of our lives and or situations that we are not proud of. Learning through the lessons and finding the value (thanks Sunny Dawn Johnston) has helped shift my life. I now endeavour each day to see the light of God in each person I have the pleasure and privilege to interact with. A Course In Miracles has taught me " I am the light of the world" and to recognize that in everyone. I have equally found my worth in the words contained in that book of lessons as well. I know I am forgiven by God and so very important to Him. I have let go of my grievances and share so much love. So each day I stay connected, grounded and committed to my healing and becoming a better person. I am here today and if anyone needs to talk please reach out. #BellLetsTalk. You are not alone. I love you. God loves you. Your angels love you. You are a magnificent being of love and light. I see you!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 join the page and let's talk www.facebook.com/BellLetsTalk/?hc_ref=SEARCH Start a chain reaction: add your voice to the cause today, and watch the conversation about mental health grow. #BellLetsTalk
Really read the list below and see what resonates with you. Do you always seek external validation? I did too! Now I know I am worthy, enough, loved. I know that because I am a part of God and He is a part of me.
Do you live with an open heart or are you more in your ego? Do you complain all the time or do you count your blessings? Gratitude is one of the fastest ways to shift your life. Being grateful ushers in more to be grateful for. Seek out a mentor, teacher, guide to help you walk through all the bad and rejoice in all the good, because the truth of the matter is .. its all intertwined. That is what LIFE is. Good and bad, happy and sad, rich and poor, sickness and health. We have this magic and power within us that can propel us in the direction of our dreams. Your dreams come true only when you breathe, listen to your internal guidance that comes from God and then you take inspired action. You can't just sit and expect things that you wish for to fall into your lap. Do your work to heal. Learn tools to get you through the bad days. You become like the 5 people you most hang around, listen to, learn from. Who are your 5? Take a look at that. If you aren't growing with those people or you are staying small, that may be something to work on. What is your word or intention for 2017? 3 years ago I stopped with the resolutions as I never kept them past the first few weeks of january. I believe the stat is 90% of us don't keep resolutions we make. In 2015 my word was "Grace." I have the Grace of God and I am healing. This year my word was "future" and "more". I wanted to ensure I continue to heal, grow, learn and expand so that I have a future so bright! And I want MORE for my life. I want a happy family life. I want a strong marriage. I want a successful new career. I want healthy female relationships. I want to be the light of the world and share it with everyone. I want to eminate love! I want my message to be - we are all loved and lovable. We are humans doing the best we can. We can make a mistake and know that forgiveness is what heals relationships, but if people don't forgive, then that is on them. We forgive because we deserve peace. I want so much for my life, and instead of complaining I am working on myself for I know that is where my power lies. I have a coach, mentor and teacher to gleen inspiration from, learn, heal and expand some more. 2016 has been a 9 year.... all about endings and completions. It was true for me. I ended a 32 year career. It was very hard on me making the decision to let go and quit. But now I feel happy and healthy with that decision. I feel amazing. I am a new spiritual teacher and I love my life. I am learning to trust God. My faith is strong. I know I am love, loved and lovable. I have learned to forgive myself and all others and I am so compassionate and kind. I continue to learn with God, the angels, and now the goddesses. These amazing energies have amplified my life to a level I only dreamed of. I want to share that. I love doing angel card readings. I love having clients over to the healing space. I love being of service. I love helping people shift their own lives. I have had some heartache this year too, however I have turned to the people that love me the most for support. I have done my work. I am a better person inspite of the heartache. I will walk into 2017 knowing that I am doing the best I can and I endeavour to be more, do more, have more, love more! My word for 2017 is "expansion" I have learned that I must expand myself in order to heal more, grow more, learn more. I want to help you. In January my prices are going up to reflect all the learning and growing and my experience. Angel card readings will be $44 for 6 cards or more. I will continue to provide $25 - 3 card for my long term clients who need that quick support. The 6 cards or more is a more indepth reading. The 12 month spread for insight into your 2017 will be $50. Care calls are $30 for a half hour. Reiki is $50 for a half hour service. My newest service is a Goddess empowerment session for $44. This pricing is for a limited time while I gain more experience. I want to take this time to thank everyone for your love and support. Here is to a fantastic 2017, knowing we are all doing the best we can. To book your service, via email, skype, in-person, messenger or phone please use this link to contact me.juliemelo@icloud.com www.sunnydawnjohnston.comAs I reflect back on my 2016 I look back at lessons learned, much soul growth, healing and expansion. This year my word was "future" and "more". Everyone who knows me, knows that in 2011-12, I had a walk through a stage 3 cancer diagnosis. That diagnosis dropped me to my knees. I already knew God, but I certainly had my faith tested. I also had to learn to trust! Instead of becoming defeated, I began to talk to God. I talked to Him outloud. There were days, I screamed at him. As I asked "why, why, why me," I heard Him say " why not you Giuliana?" hmmmm.. good question right?? That's when I learned to listen to him more.
That day I woke up. There was a stirring deep within my soul, to heal. I wanted to experience more life. I wanted to live to see my 25th wedding anniversary. I wanted to work at South Health Campus. I wanted to see Paulo jr graduate and get his licence. I wanted to see him get married and have children. I began to listen to my internal guidance. The Holy Spirit began to give me signs I understood. I assembled a healing team. I had a reiki practitioner, a personal trainer, a biofeedback person, I began to be guided to listen to "Hayhouse radio". I was guided to spiritual teachers and because of facebook, began to add them. That is where I found Sunny Dawn Johnston. It is said, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Little did I know, just what a humungous impact this teacher would have in my life. I knew she was the teacher for me. She advertises that she has the unconditional love of a mother with a no b.s. attitude of a best friend. She really is all that and so much more. Over the 5 years of my healing I got to know her better by attending her Sedona retreat in April 2014. It was a birthday gift I gave myself, although my mom helped me with the abundance to be able to go. It was the first time in 50 years I had ever travelled anywhere that far alone. I trusted God that I had to be there. When I met her, I was excited and scared. She has BIG ENERGY. I was new and healing.. my life force energy at that time was depleted. My mind, my poor body and my spirit needed a tune-up of epic proportions. She was the right teacher for me. There was an immediate connection. She has thousands and thousands of clients yet, she made me feel like I was the only one. Her professional title is "world renowned author, professional speaker, spiritual teacher, and psychic medium". She really is so much more than that. To me, she is all that and she is my mentor, counsellor, spiritual guide, and an earth angel. She always seems to know when a member of her tribe needs a hand up. She has also wished us "MORE" in all her events. After her first retreat that april, I was strongly guided to attend the one in august. The amount of healing that takes place at these events is really hard to put into words. You have to experience it. But you have to be ready to do the work. She isn't shy to tell you " she will show up as much as you do!" I was ready. I was committed. I needed to learn to love me as much as I have loved others my entire life. I had a lot of work to do and she was up to the challenge. After the first two retreats, I signed up for personal mentoring, and business mentoring. Then I attended the Sedona retreat in 2015. I also did her two Mind, Body, Spirit Intensives and got certified in levels one and two. I am very proud of those certificates as I was taught by a briliant woman. Sunny has taught me that I needed to feel my emotions and get to the root cause in order to heal. I had never heard of that. I am a compliant patient with my doctors, but I had never thought about the emotions behind illness and dis-ease. Everything she taught me made sense. It resonated deep within me. She also doesn't allow us to put her on a pedestal. She is one of those teachers who will take you to the door but you have to walk through it. She has never made us feel that we need her, however, she lets us know she is approachable at all times of the day or night and lets us know where she is so we can find her. She has this knack (her intuition) of knowing, and feeling when we need her. There have been times when I was one with my bed, and then an email would pop in or a message asking me if I was ok. She also has allowed me to do work exchange for her. As I look back, I see how that work exchange wasn't really for her, it was for me. As I made notes, etc. I was learning, growing, healing and expanding some more. She didn't have to do that. She didn't have to help me in ways that she wasn't getting paid. You see, for me, there is no price that can be attached to a teacher's love, in that form. Expansion was a word I had no idea that a person was capable of and in fact is my word for 2017. I want to heal and expand more. I want to become the best me I can be. That is only a small glimpse into who she is and what she stands for. She is kind, she is loving, she is generous, she is smart, she is expansive. Always seek a teacher who is more expanded than you. She taught me to teach from my life experiences. She has taught me to heal my wounded self. She has taught me to seek within. She has taught me not to make assumptions. She has taught me to not take things personal. She has taught me about angels, the afterlife, intuition, to help myself and how to create and grow my spiritual business. She has allowed me to grow in one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever been a part of. The tribe of support she offers, the team she has attracted and assembled, the information she teaches is so very valuable to me. Her latest project, and she has many, is her online virtual healing center and is called SOULFOOD WITH SUNNY. There you will find courses, videos, and so much more. It is a small investment in you. She has dedicated her life in service. Take a look at it. Consider joining us in there. The facebook group, the monthly phone calls, and zoom room calls have helped me walk through 2016 with so much grace and empowerment. I know she says it is because I did the work, but really she deserves a lot of thanks. I am grateful to Sunny, Robin, Kris and Deb ( and Amy). They are a team that is no drama, approachable, accomodating and loving. She embodies all that I want to become. She is love. She has taught me so am I. I am. And now I can go out and teach in the way I have learned. With integrity, knowledge, experience, kindness, compassion and LOVE. So check out www.sunnydawnjohnston.com and consider joining us. You will be glad you did. You will learn to heal. You will actually live and thrive in your life instead of just walk through it numb. One of the benefits that is the most amazing is the tribe of support. Two of my accountability partners have walked through some deep shit with me. They have listened to my cries, they have celebrated with me, and they continue to love and support me. Come and check us out for yourselves. I love this teacher and I am not shy of sharing it with the world. We are just blessed to have had her to ourselves for as long as we have. I can feel her growing and I am happy and grateful to be on the train of life with her. Soulfood with Sunny is your online virtual healing center that is available 24/7. Angels, afterlife, intuition, self help, business and everything in between. (body image, loving the skin you are in etc) A very special event is taking place in Calgary Alberta next year.
