The name of my blog came to me after a chance meeting that wasn’t really chance at all! I had lunch with an old friend and she had been telling me about this great woman she knew that she felt I should meet at some point. After a few days I was in a store I had not stopped into for a while and she had been showing me some new marketing ideas she had and new logo and all these great new plans for the store. I asked who had helped her and of course it turned out to be the same woman my other friend had told me about!

I have started working out again and that week had a workout scheduled on Thursday. I was on one of the machines chatting with a fun girl next to me. We seam to have the same thoughts about a workout. Not really our favorite thing but we might as well have fun. She asked my name and I said Jodie, she asked what I did and I said I was a psychic. She almost yelled ..”Oh my god are you Jodie Harvala!”

Yaa A little piece of me really likes to hear that type of response I do admit! J

I laughed and said yes who are you? I am Melissa! I have been hearing about you all week from my friends! I laughed and said are you kidding me I have been hearing about you all week from my friends!

A new friendship started in that moment. We are quite obnoxious during our workouts but we have fun. It turns out that Melissa is a lot more psychic then she thinks. She jokes and says things like “Well MY inner psychic says you should ……..” and I listen because I know it’s the reason we were meant to meet.
That day we went to chat after our workout and after hearing about my work she had TONS of great ideas as well as made me promise to start a blog. She was ADAMANT that I needed to write more and that I needed to start TODAY. So she made me promise that I would go home and write a bit today. I did and out of the time spent writing a nice little title came about in my head and said that I it would be a great name for my blog. Dear Spirit…..

Very fitting don’t you think!
