Where was I when this idea nudged and made me taking notice? Was the thought sparked as I softly observed the traffic outside my car window? Did I alert to the possibility during my walk along Lake Michigan? Or did it enter the consciousness of my daydream?
Whatever the soured, I sustained the inspiration & contacted the Web Designer, Damien Varnado of DsignHouse.net for his genius and the gift of his graphic artistry.
October 1, 2012 The process began and ended (or has it?) on February 23, 2013. Little did I know of this process from thought-to-thing. If you’re wondering, yes, I was caught off-guard by the challenges and confrontation to my belief system and issues of moving through my life at my pace. However, I persisted in the creative coupling of Damien’s visual artistry and my insights.
October 31, 2012 Contract Signing
The realization that the process of expanding my life had begun was roaming through the hallways of my mind. Reading the contract prompted me to pay attention to the details.
October 6, 2012 Texting vs. Talking—so 21st century! [I am somewhat uncomfortable with his Lead—hmn, a swing dance reference]. Despite the addition of an android phone in my life, I was avoiding society’s unabashed embrace of this form of detached communication. Yet, the text and emails continue to come—frequently and often. Despite the feelings of being blown up, I persist in the project and process.
October 7, 2012 In one of our qwerty-driven communications, Damien tweaked my spiritual, Shamanic knowings. He responded to one of my acknowledgements with his generous statement of “looking forward to helping me on my journey to fulfilling my destiny here on earth.” I softly nodded my head to affirm the familiar language of Medicine/Shamanic work.
November 6, 2012 The thread of concise texts serves as visual reminders of the path of progress on which I was embarking. I reference my state of being overwhelmed by life’s events—again. However, true to form, I persisted in the process. [I begin to feel like I’m in Oz…Follow the yellow brick road. Follow, follow, follow…].
November 10, 2012 Hmn, Oz again, I referenced myself as The Courageous One…I even acknowledged my buying into the process, I concluded one message with “I’m texting, baby!!!”
November 12, 2012 The entry point of photograph-provision added another layer of learning and shift to the next level of processing. Hmn…
December 7, 2012 Damien submitted the first page of the website. I remembered feeling a soft rush of excitement and anticipation. [Here goes…] Wow, it is taking shape.
December 25, 2012 Now my role in this process was cemented, I reacted with less awe and responded with more clarity, confidence and determination.
December 29, 2012 I opened my texts and there was the first look of my business card! Damien had captured my wishes and applied it to a portable format. Wow!!! Thank you, Damien—again.
Yes, I have been very grateful in this process. His graphic acumen had given me a reason, then another reason and another and a …
January 1, 2013 Now, I’m staging a photograph for the inclusion in the website. I’m so snuggling down into my layers of learning.
January 30, 2013 My excitement level is palpable. Endorphins are surging through me as we get closer to the end of this process. Now, I’m adding happy face emoticons. As an Occupational Therapist, I know that my visual cortex is jumping for joy.
February 13, 2013 I paid it forward and performed a healing on Damien. We aligned our energies, embarked on our journey and exited the experience with a sense of Lightness, Love and Well-Being.

The mutual respect and honor that Damien and I share is reflected in Damien’s words:
February 23, 2013 “Passion is the driving force of a truly fulfilled life. I have passion for the work I do as a marketer and designer. It is the ideal situation to have a client as equally or more passionate than myself to work with. I was so blessed in working with Subtle Woman, Denise E. Williams. Apart from her passion for her work, she has a fire in her belly to grow and expand her work to reach her full potential. Rare is it that I get to work with a client who brings to the table a fearless and boundless enthusiasm to the project. In addition, Denise was not afraid to take risks and be vulnerable. That inspired me to give her more than she asked for as a way of giving thanks to the universe for the experience of working with her. Denise’s site and marketing materials are as distinctive as the lady herself and could only have been created working in collaboration with her. I would wish Subtle Woman much success, but with her drive and passion it is a forgone conclusion.”
The process of peeling my life experience-to-date and me is like peeling the layers of an onion, including the odor-promoting tears. Taking a look at my life through photographs (Thank you, Sharon K. Jackson of PhotoEyedeas@AOL.com ; a shout-out to her phenomenal photographic acumen) my premiere compact disc (Thank you Martha O. Swisher for your expertise in music instruction and performance) and the sentient unfurling of my psychic-intuitive-mediumship skills under skillful & graceful instruction (Thank you, Sonia Choquette and Mel Doerr).
Finally, I love texts and their concise notifications that often provide insight to me.
In the words of Columbo, “Just one more thing...”
Please notice the italicized words and recognize my intention to alert you to how I attend and attune to others through their & my language, performance and events in this shared Earthwalk. It is through this idiosyncratic intimacy that a healing session will allow us to be guided and informed through the use of language, signs, familiarities and synchronicities.
