Happy HAPPY Birthday, Dani!
This is my friend and her husband… Dani & 
Ben Montoya. They are amazing people! Dani and I have connected on a very deep level from the day we met over 20 years ago. We have been through a lot together. There have been fun times and not so fun times. There was the years Ben fried turkeys for the holidays! Oh my gosh! Forget the delicious stuffing and sweet potatoes… all we wanted to eat was the turkey! And Dani’s brisket was better than any restaurant! And then there was the Christmas Eve that we got together and made ornaments. I cherish that ornament and all the Christmas decorations she has painted for me! I am so grateful that she is in my life. I feared that we would part when they moved to Oklahoma…
But before they left, on Ben’s significant birthday, Dani threw a birthday bash for her dear husband. It was such fun! But oh was it a lot of work! She never let on it was a lot of work. Admirably Dani can put together anything with grace.
Her home was filled with family and friends! I loved that Geoff captured this expression of love…
Check out the on lookers!
Dani is a hard worker, and extremely creative. When we first became friends, she showed me some
of her art work that she painted on Harley gas tanks. She is just such a creative soul!!! I love that I have so many of her creations. I feel her love and energy in each piece. There was a day I could not spend much money, so it was at that time that she gave me pieces as gifts, but now that I can purchase some I feel like I hog them all! Shown here are some of my most favorite pieces…
In nearly every aspect of my life are the creations of this dear lady! She is the one who created my website, and we share in our essential oils business. I love that!
Let’s Celebrate with Her!
Dani… potter, weaver, painter, musician, web designer, Reiki Master, creator, crystal loving extraordinaire is happy to spend this significant birthday quietly at home without a lot of hoopla… so I say we bring the hoopla to her! It doesn’t take much but a text, or a Facebook message to let her know that you are thinking of her on her special day… but if you cannot message her on her exact birthday of October 2nd, just know that she is celebrating ALL WEEK! And if you happen to live nearby… visit her at her store in Poteau and buy a piece of her art! Let’s fill her week with joy, happiness and LOVE!
Celebrating you, my friend… with love!
erstand how the scriptures apply to my life. I relish in the strength I receive from understanding the Atonement applies to me personally – to lift me when low, and to direct me when life gets tough. I’m grateful I have lived the blessing of having a companion who is devoted to me, who puts up with me and yet still loves me, who has been angry or extremely frustrated with me yet has not given up on me the past 40 years. I know this is becoming more rare in our current world. It is my hope and prayer that men & women who have fallen into the prophesied trap will realize the path they are on, and change their path!
and gradual successes. Over the years, I’ve seen my family go through much of what other families face. The struggling came to a head several years ago when my mother passed away. That was a true game changer for me. I wallowed in victim energy and steeped in caretaker energy. This seems to be the emotions that many women in
general deal with. But for me, it was devastating. I reached out for help, but the help I received was not expected! I felt a calling to energy work. This was beyond my comprehension because as a religious person, in the past I had distanced myself from anything such as this. My mother was a Reiki practitioner, and she, liking all things out there, put a spin on Reiki that I personally couldn’t justify. I distanced myself from her and other members of my immediate family. So when I hit rock bottom, I was shocked at the calling I received to embrace energy therapy. When I considered the SimplyHealed Method®, it was very important to me that it was not contrary to my religious beliefs. I put my shingle out and began a practice. I’ve enjoyed my clients and being able to help others. I’ve often thought about how my life would be so different today had I began energy work 20 or even 30 years ago!
of year, we think of freedoms. Let’s list some of the freedoms we enjoy. We enjoy living in a free country – free from bondage. We vote, we choose whether or not to serve in the military, we choose what job we will accept for the most part, and we also choose who to live the rest of our life with. We choose our friends, we choose our diet, and even our detergents. There are so many choices that we enjoy that are actually a result of our freedom!
e’s another freedom I would like to address. That’s the freedom we enjoy when we make wise choices. Wise choices can result in less stress, less addictions and less repercussions. When we choose healthy, balanced choices, we have a better quality of life. But sometimes, even though we try not to, we may make a choice that brings us some level of grief. The amount of damage that does to our body through storing the shock, trauma and negative emotions can be minimized with the use of energy healing. Post Traumatic Stress can be neutralized with the proper attention, and relationships can be repaired when paired with energy healing.
