Ms. Jaia is a wonderful soul whom I'm glad is in my life. She is an awesome dancer and teacher. She moves likes water and I hope one day to dance just half as well as she does.

She is my own personal bellydance superstar!

love, love, LOVE her!!!

The other day, when seeing Hillary stand up among her peers for the first Democratic debate in this presidential race, I was moved to tears. In everything from her choice of earthy brown, through a sea of black suits, to her confidence, she was brilliant. She commanded respect from the men that stood among her.

Then a "non-believer" said to me, "what if you are drawing on this energy and bringing it to yourself, because of you consciousness of it?".
