I first met Rob & Norinda a few years ago at a party in town. We were in the same conversation circle for a little while but didn’t really have the opportunity to connect. Around this same time, my #1, Nicole, was my webmaster and one of my clients for my old business, Harvest Cycle – Take 1 (as opposed to revived Harvest Cycle Raw, which you will read about on the new Investment page). Nicole benefitted from my farm connection and I always scored her extra produce from Jessica’s Stand. More often than not, Nicole would then pass this food on to Rob & Norinda. She knew they desired healthy eating, but with 3 teenaged kids, maintaining a steady source of fresh, organic produce was a challenge. So our connections together were established “unofficially” four years ago.
“Officially”, however, I really feel as if I just met them for the first time upon my return to FL. Rob & Norinda also have a unique place in the story due to the fact that they observed a few of the details of the stepping stone experience in St. Petersburg that got me back to Sarasota. Important only because for me, when I look back and analyze I often find many, many signs that were indicating what was to come. These two were going to be part of my life forever. I knew it almost immediately.
Nicole, again, was key in the development of our growing relationship. As my webmaster, and thus my mission controller, I was spending inordinate amounts of time with Nicole as we got alysonirenenoune.com up and running. As such, Nicole served as my main sounding board (she is indeed up for sainthood as I don’t think I know ANYONE else who could have done what she has done). I hadn’t yet had anyone with whom I could really talk through my thousands of ideas in my head. While working at Nicole’s one night, Rob & Norinda were over. Per normal, I got into one of my “utterances”, which can be anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours depending on the zone I’m in. They were present for one of the longer ones.
One of the greatest roles Nicole has had since my return has been to observe people’s reactions to my thoughts and words when these utterances take place. We hang with a pretty heady, intellectual bunch. In general, they aren’t easily captivated. Almost immediately after Rob & Norinda left on this particular night, Nicole said, “They were really listening. You had their attention in a way that just doesn’t happen very often.” Me, not knowing them yet or fully tuning in to their reaction, wouldn’t have been able to make that determination on my own. Additionally, Rob had asked, I thought jokingly, if I needed an agent. Nikki said to me that night that he was being 100% serious. Again, not knowing his background, I didn’t know why all this mattered. (Rob had been a booking agent). Rob doesn’t know this, but his comment that night confirmed my instinctive belief that I was meant to be on stage publicly…soon.
All sorts of things became clear that night. 1) They got “it”! They certainly were picking up very quickly on what I was trying to express. That is an absolute requirement (hopefully, an obvious one) for being a financial recipient at this point. Money isn’t yet unlimited so I am trying to scout those from whom I will get the biggest light-shining, energetic return. You must be aware of the Light in order to spread it and these two are most definitely aware.
2) They had an established background. When you go to Rob & Norinda on my new Investment web page, you will see that established is actually a drastic understatement for Rob’s musical achievements. And Norinda was in her 9th year of teaching at-risk, middle school students – we were best friends immediately!
3) They were one of the most beautiful couples I had ever had the pleasure of spending time with. Their energy together was one that you just don’t find with many couples. This isn’t a “good”/”bad” thing – remember, no more comparison. They, quite simply, have that rare soul mate connection emitting from them both. Rob & Norinda are most definitely soul mates and anyone that meets them feels this immediately.
4) Their story was insanely beautiful. They have 3 amazing children, the raising of whom is why Rob has been away from music for the past decade. They are CRAZY awesome parents. Their family is, I dare say, one of the most powerful in my life and I know a lot of bad-ass families. Again, not consciously, but right then and there they were at the top of the list. I was in awe of them from moment one – their energy, their intellect, their family, and their varied experiences. Once Nikki pointed out their dialing into all that I was saying…deal sealed.
Rob & Norinda have become incredibly close friends very, very quickly. I have spent a great deal of time with them and have met two of their children, who are just beautiful…just beautiful spirits. I have actually never met a man like Rob. I don’t even know where to begin to try to explain that claim. He is just the real deal. And Norinda and I have astonishingly similar stories from our past. Add the teaching & spirituality component and there is no accident whatsoever that we are all in this together right off the bat.
Norinda had been having the most difficult year of her career as it pertained to the administration of her school. Not surprising…she is bad-ass!! You just know she has the respect of those kids and that she inspires them…you know it within about 8 seconds of meeting her. But, much like me, she was being far, far, undervalued at her job. On top of that, she was being taken advantage of.
When I made my big discovery on Friday, January 11th, I knew Rob & Norinda were my first recipients. There was no hesitation. And I arranged to make it happen the following day, which incidentally, turned out to be their 9-year wedding anniversary. The other HUGE non-accident of this evening will need to be saved for another time, but suffice to say…ridiculous detail proving yet again that everything happens for a reason. Ridiculous!
Norinda is embarking on her singing aspirations for the first time in her life with her music producer husband. The music that these two are going to make can be nothing but beautiful & inspirational. And don’t be surprised if the entire family becomes involved. In addition to my super awesome power couple in Sage & Grady, I have Rob & Norinda’s clan as my super awesome power family!!
