It's About Dame Time

I like to make a lot of sport references and this one is not much different. I admired a certain young basketball player that was playing for the Portland Trailblazers at the time and was a stud. I was so impressed that I even bought his jersey back in 2019. A few years later in 2021, my sister, my mom and I took another trip up to Montecito to plan my sister's wedding. She was getting married at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and wanted to have her rehearsal dinner at the Rosewood Miramar Hotel in Montecito. We were sitting in the courtyard having a coffee when we looked over and noticed some familiar faces. After about an hour we engaged in a small conversation with the group and I had a chance to REALLY see the faces. It was Damien Lillard and his whole family and friends. It also happened to be his wedding and everyone there was staying at the hotel where his wedding would be held on the same weekend we were up there! Of course the hashtag of the wedding was "It's About Dame Time" and him being known for his clutch plays. His family invited us to his rehearsal dinner that was held outside and that for me was another HUGE manifestation. If you read my blog about meeting Robert Horry, then you know how these manifestations are so special. It just took a little longer to manifest Horry. So why am I even mentioning another manifestation about a basketball player? To boast? To brag? Most certainly not. I want people to know when I talk about manifesting castles ("big" stuff like meeting idols, getting the house, etc) or buttons ("little" stuff like a coffee, a trip, etc), be open for the Universe to surprise and delight you!! For me meeting and hanging out with Dame was another delightful spark of my journey. To quote another favorite basketball player of mine, Kyrie Irving, he says "The Journey Is The Reward." Ain't that the truth. He is just taking what so many prolific mentors have been saying for centuries and making his version of it.


Now back to "Dame Time." I have spoken so much on how this journey is truly the reward and not the destination even though many times throughout it doesn't feel that way. When you start to doubt the journey, the Universe and your angels/spirit guides/God show you signs that you must keep your head high and persevere. When working with my clients, I have them chose a sign that when they feel like they're in doubt or losing hope, this is their talisman. This sign will show up and what I like to call "flood" their experience at first and then when they need it the most. Sometimes my clients ask me for help and I just tell them to quiet their mind and usually the first image or word that comes to them is it. With my last 2 clients, the first one chose fireflies and the second chose elephants. Not only were they bombarded by them, so was I for different reasons. If you haven't done this, it's time to give it a try. I have so many signs now for different things and events. I rely now on my spiritual team to guide me and help me. This is after years of practicing patience and faith in them. I even asked them to tell my boss I needed a certain day off before he posted the schedule and I got it. So it's 2024, year of the 8 (aka infinity/abundance) and my guidance again was to come back to San Francisco. I was working with my psychic coach (yes the same family friend I've spoken about) and we dug deeper than we have before. Could that even be possible? Yes it sure freakin can. Someone like me who has many passions and talents can be a blessing and a curse. I've had trouble all my life deciding on what career to follow or what path to take. No one told me I can have and or do it all until this journey and working with her. So this time we really went in to see where my true passion is right now and it was Reiki. I took on 4 main clients and saw them for 4-5 sessions in a matter of 2 months. I really committed myself to channeling guidance and healing for every client. Some had certain pains in their bodies, some had anxiety, and some just needed guidance, clarity, calm, balance and healing. What I discovered is that I really FINALLY believed in ME and my gifts. I really saw results and through my clients' feedback and confirmations, I was truly confident. So, it was March 2024 and my last session with my friend. I recorded this one so that when I had the chance I could listen to it at a later time and really absorb it all. Like I said my guidance was to move back to San Francisco. This time was completely different than my time in 2020 emotionally, physically and mentally. I knew that and she knew that. Since this true self discovery journey (aka Twin Flame Journey) commenced in 2019, I have uncovered many deep layers of myself to get to the core of my being. My friend was also heading back to where she was being guided and it was known through this past year and end of 2023 it was to be the "Final Countdown." So the week before our last session, I was being guided to reach out to my family friend that I stayed with last summer. I felt like my angels were guiding me to stay with her and ask her about her studio she rents out. I called and she tells me she was just thinking of me and going to call and ask me to come stay at her house while she went to Europe! Her studio was to be empty at the exact time she was returning and it was up to me if I wanted to take it. And that, my friends, is what happens when you listen to your guidance or intuition. Most of us are so afraid to listen to that voice that is guiding us. Our reply is usually, "oh no way that will happen" or "yeah right" or "i'm scared." I have heard those voices in my head many times. So back to my final session. She bid me adieu, and I her, and she was gone. I got to SF on Cinco de Mayo (5/5) which is a number of change and transformation, not surprisingly. Once I arrived, I got the message from my spiritual team that this year and this move was to follow 3 phases. Phase 1, secure the studio or "Casita" as my friend called it(which is hilarious because again our angels knew I would leave on Cinco de Mayo) even though that time didn’t come up in session. Phase 2, secure the place I knew I was going to work. Phase 3 I will keep hidden until further notice. I have completed Phase 1 and 2 in a matter of 5 weeks. Spirit has moved me quickly along and that tells me how much I've upleved. I must say how things fall into place in the times we are doubting our guidance. I knew I was going to work at a little adorable magical shop in the town's main square. I was called to this place many times the summer before and when I was coming back I knew that was the only place I would apply to. I was in my moving transition and feeling a little overwhelmed and while I was unpacking, the menu from that magical shop fell out like in a movie scene. I asked my angels for a sign (a zebra) when it was time for me to apply. A week later it showed up and it has indeed been MAGICAL or my newest favorite word, MAJESTIC. The best part about this is that it's a 3 minute commute. Can it get any better?! Yes it can! I know that it will and this is the attitude everyone needs to practice. So on one of my many walks in one of my favorite areas in Outer Sunset by the beach, it all came full circle. It was 2 weeks into my new job I felt guided to finally listen to the recording of our last session. My friend was telling me that our angels were showing her me and as if I was being dubbed a Dame. She laughed but in a serious way said they are basically saying you are now "Dame Nahaleh." I couldn't help but laugh and keep my mouth open in awe on this walk. The definition of Dame is "a woman of rank, station, or authority." It was a culmination of everything I have accomplished up to this point and it was quite uplifting.


When I was sitting with a family friend of mine that knows of this entire journey since 2020, she was telling me that the main thing I was trying to achieve hasn't happened after all this work with my friend. She said it's been 4 years now. Her question was really for me not feel disappointed but to realize that these 4 years were imperative for my personal growth. I told her that had it not been for my friend, her and I wouldn't even be sitting here let alone having these conversations. Not now anyway. Maybe many years down the line but who knows. These 4 years have been to really get back to who I was from the beginning of time and who I want to be without fear of judgement and being confident in my beliefs. It took my Twin Flame to ignite this time and free me. Most of the people in this world take 40 years to accomplish this and some don't get to at all. I am blessed to be sitting here sharing my story and wanting others to know that there is a world out there waiting for you to tap into if you haven't already. This world is filled with magic, sparkle, faith, and LOVE. Recently I completed a series of movies and in the final chapter the main character quotes Corinthians 13. It's about love and will be the image of this blog. With faith and love, one can conquer the world and become their own Dame or Knight. Only you will know how far you've come and how much you've grown. There may be others that see your growth and some may not. The ones that do are the ones you want to keep close although it shouldn't matter either way. What matters is YOU and what you know to be true. Keep your head high, keep looking up and keep picking signs that uplift you in your journey. When you get to a place where you look back and feel proud of where you’re at and where you’ve been, you can remember to tell yourself "it's about Dame Time."
