The Connected

The Universe definitely has a sense of humor when it comes to connections... people you meet along your journey that keep popping up, or other signs that put those people to the forefront of your mind. Energy has everything to do it, you send it out thinking about people or situations and if you are aware, awake... you see what comes your way, sometimes its unavoidable!

Here are a couple examples of personal connections, reconnections, encounters, willing energy...
amazingness.


Background: When I was 17 I saw a band play at The Bottom of The Hill in SF, the band was 30 Seconds to Mars. The Leto brothers and I chatted a bit, nothing special.
A few years later I was working for Elite Model Management, staying at The Maritime Hotel in NY with a bunch of new models ready for fashion week. My first evening there I was walking down little west 12th when BOOM, Jared Leto walked past me. We both stopped, turned and hugged. He met all my girls to give them their first celeb encounter, and we hung out a few times throughout the next couple weeks. Then Gone.
I have a tattoo, A Beautiful Lie - this has nothing to do with the title of their album, however interesting in hindsight. The meaning of this branding is deep rooted, and hits home for so many aspects of my life... but that story will come in time. Back to connections.
I moved to LA, and started running the Waffle in Hollywood, a choice spot :) After being here about 6 months I came down the stairs one morning, coffee in hand and BOOM, Shannon Leto. We looked at eachother, and did the "woah" and caught up. Who knows why I keep running into these boys, but its important to pay attention to.

Background: I once dated a singer from a band, a beautiful man with eyes that would stop any girl in her tracks. Throughout the last nine years we have stayed friends, through emails and kissing sessions when he toured through. It has been over a year since I saw him, or spoke to him. Until Monday, when we reconnected with a "hey how ya doing..?"
Yesterday I was looking for shoes for my sisters wedding, I walk into the store and am greeted by the salesgirl. I turn and say hello and what do you know... its his sister. Last time she and I saw eachother we both lived NY and neither of us knew where one another ended up. We are having drinks in the near future.

Background: Helen and I met when I hired her as a waitress at the Cutting Room 4 years ago. We spent countless hours together in the most magical and inspiring environment. Although always friendly, Kate and I spent little time outside of work together. As The CR was closing, we were unified on a deeper level. On the last night, I looked at Helen and told her "our paths will cross again." I moved to LA, and over the course of the year I would always check in on my family I had left... all of them, but always keeping a close eye on Kate.
One day in November I got an email from her, letting me know she was coming to LA to follow her dreams. I immediately became her biggest supporter, as I knew this was our reconnection. Kate is on her way in LA, she is beautiful and strong, we spend as much free time (and work time, as she is working for me again) together as possible. She has quickly moved right next to me spiritually, and become one of my very closest most adored friends. The other day I was having drinks with my other closest friend, my sister Jenn. We laughed and talked and caught up. As we were walking back to my new casa there sipping cocktails was Kate, randomly with a big happy smile. We both exclaimed "Hey, my best friend!"

Background: Kyle and I grew up together, smoked weed for the first time together, drank for the first time together...etc. We were kids in the same group, hanging out all of the time, getting into trouble. When we were 16 Kyle got in a lot of trouble, big fish small town mentality :)
Over time our paths took us on completely different courses. We didnt speak.
About a month ago Kyle and I reconnected on Facebook, and it quickly became clear that our paths were merging again. We both had such opposite paths but along the way we learned the same thing, the importance of love and universal consciousness. Since then we have hung out, tons... I love Kyle, and I know he and I will never lose eachother again.


I am so sure that this is all meant to happen, that the people I am going to need by my side are gravitating towards me and vice versa.

When the time comes, you find me.
