Lucid Dream Series: Dedicated to all who loved Beloved Musician Jerry Scott

Dear friends and loved ones of the beloved Jerry Scott,

On the night of Christmas Eve 2014, I had the most amazing, short but beautiful lucid dream with Jerry Scott. 

For those of you who don't know me or how I knew Jerry, I met Jerry the way many people do, while he was performing his music. It was back in 2006 and he was at what was Danny's Sky Light Room at Danny's Sea Place on Restaurant Row. He was playing for Joyce Creatore, wife (who also passed on) of Elvis Presley's song writer Luigi Creatore. I shyly walked up to Jerry and asked if I could sing with him and I did "Our Love is Here to Stay". Considering I was getting back to singing after many years, he made me sound great. 

With a bit more time, I got to know how amazing, beloved, and popular Jerry was. No matter how much time passed every time I saw him, he had the most beautiful big smile. When he knew I was there seeing him wherever he was playing, he would ask, "What would you like to sing Diana?" I was always so honored. Throughout the years, I got to know many fellow musician who felt the same. I was devastated when me passed away. I didn't go to the wake but I mourned him privately. So now I'll share the dream with you.

A lucid dream is no ordinary dream. It is a dream that is so real you remember it as if it were a regular every day event. You also are very aware you are dreaming and that it isn't ordinary reality. I say more about this in more detail in my book on spiritual awakening which I'll speak about at another time. 

In the dream I entered a huge lounge. It was beautiful with dark oak wood, many people, fancy tables, drinks and of course music. I entered from the side directly into what was a mezzanine where you could see musicians playing below. I was looking around for someone I knew but didn't see anyone right away. I sat down and began to see who was playing. Then I felt someone sit next to me. It was Jerry. 

I said, "Jerry, wow! How are you?"
"I'm great." He said with that huge smile of his. 
"You look so happy. How do you feel here on the other side?" Meaning crossed over. 
He laughed and said "It's great here, can't you see?" 
"Yes, I see people singing and laughing. Hey, do you miss us?" I asked him selfishly. 
"No, Why should I. I can see all of you any time I want and I know you'll all see me again eventually. Hey, look at them, look at what they're going to do." He was referring to two proper ladies in their 60's or so who changed to amazing sexy burlesque outfits from a suit I had seen them in an instant ago. They were about to sing. "They are so much fun," he said with a slight raspiness. "Hey, do you want to sing?" He asked me. I got the biggest butterfly feeling in my gut and said "No way, I'm just visiting." 
He laughed and said, "Ok, but come back and sing and tell everyone that I'm fabulous." Again, he said with that smile as he continued to enjoy the show below. 

I had to come back to this reality and felt that was the loveliest holiday gift I could have gotten. By sharing this, I hope it brings back whatever warm memories you may have had with him. As an *Empath I always tell folks I don't always connect with friends/family, people and pets who have passed on. I usually work living people and everyday/spiritual issues. But when I do connect, in whichever way, I do want to share it with anyone who may need to hear from that person. May this bring you peace that he is having "a fabulous time".

*An Empath is an intuitive who in addition to expressing empathy (the ability to put oneself in another person or animals place emotionally, physically and spiritually), have abilities and characteristics that go beyond the normal senses. Empaths are extremely sensitive to their environment, people and animals. She/he literally “feel” and sense what others feel in many ways. Hence Diana received psychic information by feeling what others feel but also via visual flashes, dreams, and connecting synchronicities.

Book Coming Soon: Images from Book in a Cup or Shirt

Nine years ago I embarked in one the biggest challenges of my life. To write a book about spiritual awakening and the paranormal. A challenge because I was in the middle of my beautiful maelstrom. 

Now that I'm at the eve of submitting my book for publishing I am happy to share some of the images in a shirt, mug and more items. 

The images as you will read from the book, appeared in my life at moments where I felt the world was collapsing around me. They gave me hope and what I needed to move through these dark moments. I trust it will do the same for you.

The inspiration for my book "You're  Not Crazy, It's Paranormal!" was this orb I captured in my camera during an event. It shows various faces. The owner of the venue thanked me for saving his marriage since it was evidence his place was indeed haunted. Get your very own here

7 Ways to Avoid Online Negativity

Networking online is a great thing. For many entrepreneurs and artists isn't a luxury but a necessity. It's a tremendous helps you stay connected with your peers and can make working from home a little less lonely. However, there are some pitfalls to networking online.

On the internet you don’t have face-to-face interaction with people. You also have a larger amount of people to deal with at any one time. Most of the people you’ll meet are anonymous and this anonymity can often create a feeling of freedom in people. Meaning they may not moderate the things they say and often times may behave completely different to how they would behave offline. This can lead to a lot of negativity and often harshness.

Another issue that is crucial to know is that many people actually enjoy hurting others online because they feel invulnerable. They feel it's safe to do so. Some even have a classification and are known as "trolls", cyber bullies and so on. Regardless of where you go online, be it a social media site like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, or forums people often have lowered inhibitions. 

Here are a few tips to help you avoid the negative situations that sometimes creep up in the online world.

#1  Find the right networking group. If you love to visit a specific forum but find that you always leave there feeling worse than when you first logged in, it may be time to cut your losses and find a new group.

Some forums can be very exciting and fast moving but that also tends to draw a large variety of members. At the worst of times, people may get insulting or downright mean. This isn’t really a situation you want to be in, specifically when you need to stay positive in building your business.

The bottom line here is that if you don’t feel good, you should move on. Listen to your gut instincts about what you’re feeling and don’t worry if the specific forum seems to be “the place” to be – if the negativity is too much for you, you’ll be better off building your network elsewhere.

#2  Read between the lines. Often times, when people write online what they say can be misinterpreted as “harsh” or “negative” when it may not be the case. Remember, online we can’t see people’s gestures or facial expressions so it may be worth not reading too much into what someone is saying.

If you’re in doubt you can always ask them to explain what they mean. You may find they didn’t mean to sound negative in the first place.

#3  Find a mastermind group. Mastermind groups can be a comforting place to find support and build a strong network, as long as you choose a group of like-minded individuals. Researching and taking the time to find the right mastermind group is worth the time, as the right group may help your business grow in leaps and bounds.

A good mastermind group is worth its weight in gold. You’ll be able to connect with people who are positive and there to help each other. The negativity and playground games get left behind and you can get down to the business of building your business.

#4 Ignore the situation. There is always someone who ruins it for others. Take the strength away from negative types by simply ignoring them. Enjoy your networking group and look over the few bad apples. With any luck, they’ll get tired and go find a different playground to spend time in.

#5  Build yourself up. Negativity can be found everywhere we look for it. So perhaps it’s time to look the other way – to positivity. Work on yourself first by visualizing and living the life you want to live. Stay positive about your business and you’ll attract more like-minded people your way, making the negative ones seem insignificant.

#6 Protect yourself. Try to avoid putting information about yourself that can be too personal. Some people use this to specifically target, harass and hurt others.

#7 Take the Lead. Use common sense manners in what you post. Sometimes we can post something that is incendiary. That can open up a can of worms and end friendships unnecessarily.  

We are becoming more interconnected everyday thanks to fast moving technology. At the end of the day, we are still human and courtesy goes a very long way. For those who have been abused, bullied and insulted online, take heart in knowing that there will always be the other side of supportive, well-mannered people just as ready to be there for you. Don't give up looking for that mastermind, it IS out there.
