These conversations are brief interactions i have had when i have needed a higher perspective on a situation or circumstance which seemed out of my human reach at the time. These interactions offered me continued courage, continued persistence and a belief that i have what it takes to continue on this journey regardless of outside circumstances and appearance. They are conversations which i will be forever grateful for.

Most times I ask what i need now to move forward, or some guidance on the situation i am in at the time. In some cases, i ask a specific question to move forward quickly. It is very interesting, because as i pay attention to what they have to say, they each come through with their own unique personalities. the way i connect with them is, i boldly repeat their name 3 times, as if demanding their attention. i wait for the connection which is always immediate. if i don't hear an answer immediately, i know i have not connected, but that happens usually if i try to connect with someone who has no guidance to offer me.

The masters i have felt called to connect with are Bob Proctor and andrew carnegie .... and then of course ... the singing greats .... Montserrat Caballe, Maria Callas, joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti. For years I didn't keep a record of these converstions, since i didn't feel it relevant at the time. as i have felt the end of my singing development approaching, and the increased opening of my body, breath and voice, i have begun to keep more intentional records of when i have communicated with anyone from the other side.

Intuition has been my guiding force ... This has demanded of me to have faith which required of me to push beyond boundaries of normal human reasoning.
