Read The Energy of Words: Use the Vibration of Language to Manifest the Life You Desire Online

most successful in life frequently used positive words.
Naturally, being a numbers fanatic, I analyzed everything
through the numbers, so I began to delve into the world of
words through the view of numbers. What I discovered was
shocking. Not only did the energetic meaning of a word
match its dictionary definition, it revealed even more in-
depth information about how the word affected the physical
world through the frequency it held. I knew this was the next
chapter on my path with numbers and a message I had to
share with the world.
Even after going through these amazing otherworldly ex-
periences, I grew up to be very practical when it came to
spirituality, needing a lot of facts with my faith. Yet these experiences remain the driving force in my life to accomplish
my mission of showing the world that there is more than
meets the eye.
Like anything based in the world of energy, an energetic
pattern can be shaped and transformed depending on the
other energies that interact with it. When you click off a
light switch, you stop the flow of energy to that receptacle.
The law of attraction is a simple spiritual or energetic rule that states “like attracts like.” In other words, you attract or create in your life through the energetic frequency you send
out—what you send out, you get back. The frequency or en-
ergetic vibration of a word is the missing piece in success-
fully applying the law of attraction to your life. The words
you use can hinder or help you achieve success on any level.
You can either attract positively or negatively; when you
choose to use words of a lower vibration, for example, you
attract more negative energy into your life. Aligning your en-
ergy or frequency through the use of positively charged
words will positively magnetize your vibration to start at-
tracting more positive energy. When you imagine yourself

driving a new sports car and feel yourself driving it, you are sending out the energetic frequency that will attract to you
that sports car and you driving in it. This is how you create
your reality minute by minute, whether you’re aware of it or
not.
The words you choose to use on a daily basis can inter-
fere with the attraction process. Once you set the energy in
motion through your vision of you driving in that sports car,
your negative words can come along and flick the switch to
the off position, stopping the manifesting process in its
tracks. Even if the words you’re using aren’t directly related to the vision you want to manifest, they are still changing the energetic frequency you are sending out. You can imagine
yourself driving that car all day long, but if you’re going
through your day using negative words or phrases like “the
problem is” or “I can’t,” you are undermining your positive
creative powers. Through the words you choose to use every
day, you can be the powerful creator of the reality you were
born to have.
Perception Is Everything
When it comes to the power of words, perception is every-
thing. How we perceive a word through thought and emo-
tion can cause it to be powerful or powerless.
I first hung out my shingle as an intuitive numerologist
after having studied every book, article, and tidbit of information I could find on numerology. I didn’t search out any
gurus or teachers as I knew from my profound dream experi-
ences that this had to be my journey and was to remain un-
tainted by anyone else’s views or opinions. I didn’t take any
of the information I was reading on blind faith; the practical side of me had to prove the validity of what I learned. Numerology came very easily to me and I found myself reading
between the lines, seeing new patterns and formulas. It was
as though the fabric of the universe was revealing itself to me.
I quickly started carving out my niche in the world of
numbers, attracting clients with ease as they all said I had a refreshing and unique take on the numbers compared to
other numerologists they had met with. I stuck with this title for some time because it fit who I was in theory, but more
often than not, despite being well received by most, I felt the need to explain what that title meant. I realized it was my
own perception of the word “intuitive” that created uncer-
tainty or uneasiness. Being a very practical person, I wasn’t
completely comfortable shouting from the rooftop that I was
psychic. I really didn’t want to be envisioned as a “crystal ball psychic.” In hindsight, I understand it wasn’t just my uneasiness with being an intuitive, it was the fact that there was
more to my path and purpose than I knew at the time. My
title didn’t quite feel right because it wasn’t who I was truly meant to be.
As a celebrity numerologist, I’ve had the pleasure of trav-
eling the country meeting thousands of interesting, success-
ful, and famous people, revealing profound truths for them
by examining their numerological makeup. It wasn’t my in-
tention in the beginning to become a celebrity numerologist.
The glitz and glam of Hollywood doesn’t appeal to me.
12 Introduction
What intrigues me about the celebrity sector is that they’re
real people with real problems, just like the rest of us, yet they serve as highly visible role models and can literally
change the world with their visibility. That kind of profound
change was the draw for me.
It wasn’t until I had my own spiritual crisis that I finally
figured out that this market was to eventually become my
forte. Although I had built my platform as an intuitive nu-
merologist and on the outside it looked like I was successful
and content, on the inside I felt like I was living adjacent to my real life purpose. I knew the numbers were my gift to the
world but something was amiss and I couldn’t quite put my
finger on it. As the years passed, my platform continued to
grow but I grew emptier inside.
My first celebrity client experience was a radio interview.
I did a numerological profile for a British actor named Treva
Etienne who had been in a long list of high-profile movies
such as
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
,
Black Hawk Down
, and
Bad Boys II
. It was my first experience with seeing firsthand that celebrities had all the same fears, concerns, and challenges as everyone else. Treva connected
with me on the phone afterward and we kept in touch. It was
the start of a friendship I cherish today.
Fast-forward a bit down the road to my first Hollywood
red-carpet party, to which Treva’s publicist had invited me.
With my VIP bracelet, I danced, drank, partied like a celeb-
rity, and even gave my business card to a few celebrities. The next day I couldn’t shake the empty feeling I had. I wondered
whether this was the crash celebrities feel after they come
home to take off their “mask” of who people think they are.
I really admired Treva’s tenacity to live in truth. Unlike
much of Hollywood, he was adamant that he would never
stoop below his truth level to achieve success. A pivotal con-
versation we had a couple of years ago stuck with me and
ended up being the catalyst that helped me take the neces-
sary steps to embrace who I was meant to be.
I confided in Treva, who is black, that my father was also
black. I never really knew my father and had only met him
once, but growing up in a small town with an almost entirely
white population, having a black father was like a dirty little secret I protected at all costs. In my young mind, I believed it was somehow wrong to be of mixed descent. I saw firsthand,
throughout my school years, the very few mixed-race chil-
dren being picked on and singled out. I never did hear any
child openly remark about another child’s racial origins, but
being an extremely perceptive and intuitive child, I came to
my own conclusions and decided this was part of myself I
could never truly acknowledge on any level—until I met
Treva.
Treva sat me down and told me that if I was ever to be
content and happy, I had to live my truth—every single piece
of it. I respected his opinion and, on my plane trip home, I
couldn’t think of anything else. He was right, so very right, and I knew it. Embracing who I truly was on all levels, including the parts of myself I had denied all those years, was of the utmost importance. It was pivotal to my success and
14 Introduction
happiness and every fiber of my being was telling me what I
had to do next.
Thankfully, my husband and I follow the same yearly en-
ergetic cycles (personal year cycle) and he was feeling just as restless and discontent as I was. We had hit rock bottom on a
spiritual level and there was only one option—to find our
truth. We took the leap and sold our house, most of our be-
longings, fit what we could in a five-by-eight trailer, and set out across Canada in search of ourselves. I dropped my
work, my titles—everything. I was suddenly nothing and no
one. I couldn’t spend another day being someone who didn’t
feel quite right.
Sitting in the driveway of our house on closing day with
nothing but our clothes and a few sentimental belongings left
to our name, reality came crashing down. It was both scary
and exhilarating. We had no idea who we were anymore or
where we were going.
After traveling three-quarters of the way across the coun-
try, we decided to stop in Calgary, Alberta because I had a
good friend there. From the moment we arrived, synchronic-
ity kicked into high gear and we knew we were right where
we needed to be.
Within three weeks of settling in, CTV News, a national
media outlet in Canada, called me out of the blue to be a
guest. After the first appearance, they called me twice more
within a three-month span. I still have no idea how they
found me or how they even knew I was in town. From there
it was a snowball effect; more media appearances, a flurry of
celebrity clients, and coincidental connections with all the
right people that propelled me fast and hard into the num-
bers again, taking me to new heights.
But this time it was different. I had stepped back into the
numerologist role but had yet to fully embrace my old title.
This was an opportunity to reinvent and rebrand myself in
alignment with my truth. Knowing I wanted to continue to
work the numbers and work with celebrities because of their
ability to affect others on a broad scale, the choice was clear: I was a celebrity numerologist. Not only that, but at this
point I had earned the title of “celebrity” in my own right.
For the first time in my life, I could stand tall in this new
image of myself, knowing this was my truth and who I was
meant to be. No longer did I have to explain myself or try to
convince someone to believe in me. Most importantly, for
the first time in my life, I had no secrets to hide. I finally embraced myself in my totality.
That one-word change—intuitive to celebrity—made all
the difference on an inner and outer level and has changed
the trajectory of my life. I now have clients from major mov-
ies and TV shows such as the Twilight Saga’s
Breaking Dawn
,
The Big Bang Theory
, and
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of
the Black Pearl
; I also work with a Hollywood stylist, a celebrity judge, and an NBC director. I’m considered an expert in
my field, a regular and sought-after guest on national media
outlets. I also own the rapidly growing online radio and TV
network, Authentic You Media.
I share this not to brag, but to show that the power you
put behind a word can assist you in manifesting your dreams.
A word has to resonate with you and be in alignment with
16 Introduction
what is true to you in order to manifest what you desire. Like my own example highlights, this is particularly true when it
comes to who you believe you are.
In the more than ten years I’ve been working with the
numbers, I have had the privilege of helping guide the lives
of thousands of people from all walks of life. I don’t take lightly the honor and responsibility of assisting in the shaping of decisions and choices that not only mold an individu-
al’s destiny but ultimately our global destiny. One of the
main reasons I fell in love with numerology as a branch of
the metaphysical is that it is a mathematical science. The
level of accuracy is unmatched compared to other branches
of metaphysics like astrology, tarot, and the like. When you
work with numbers, there are no gray areas. In numerology,
a number either matches an energetic pattern or it doesn’t.
I firmly believe that there are deeper truths we are all
meant to know and our soul is constantly guiding us to them.
It is in following the signs from the unseen spirit world (or
