Somewhere in the sky of the United States
Nicole…a.k.a., my #1, a.k.a., my webmaster, a.k.a., my mission controller. Quite simply, I would not be where I am today without her. No way. No how. It has been a relationship unlike any other I’ve had, to be sure. We connect on so many of the heady, intellectual interpretations of the times, which are inherently complex. However, the friendship we have is one of the simplest & most beautiful of my life.
This has been an incredible journey for me with Nicole. We first met as a result of Harvest Cycle – Take 1. My brother’s creation in early 2008 with Nicole highly integral in the project as the all-important web designer. In this case, literally ALL important – without the web, Drew had no business. As a late-entry to the venture, I met Nicole one weekend while down from Tampa. The thing I remembered most was that she was cooking falafel, a favorite of mine growing up with our Middle-Eastern background. She was quiet. More so, as I would learn, while in the presence of the often over-powering Noune energies – especially mine and Drew’s – again, both Sagittarius fires to the core.
When Drew parted ways with me and Harvest Cycle is when I had the opportunity to really begin to get to know Nicole. Our relationship was founded on the business and continued to exist centered around it simply because I was in survival mode. I was working 80+ hours a week between 3 jobs, one of which this little company of mine, Harvest Cycle. Nicole observed the about-to-burst Alyson of 2008-2010 and was unbelievable as she delicately handled my craziness. And as someone who worked very closely with my brother, she and I had a very, very strong connection.
Our paths were not crossing accidentally. Those days were most certainly the foundation for what we have created today. When I lived here in Sarasota the first time, Nicole, was second only to Julia in terms of aiding me in my impending darkness. She knew that despite what I was showing on the outside (that I had everything in control) that I was screaming to be allowed to unglue. She knew how much I just needed to relax and have fun. But she also knew I had a good deal of healing to do before I’d be ready to really enjoy living my life. Here we are…all healed and so ready to have fun!!
The creative brainstorming sessions that I’ve had with Nicole have been some of the highlights of this part of the journey. She is extremely talented in all aspects of marketing and has perspectives that span the gamut. She has the best taste in films, TV programs, and music and knows how to weave ’em all together mixed in with a little social commentary, and just enough wit and humor. She is truly brilliant.
While enrolled at New College, she was a math/physics major. Her analytical and scientific capabilities are astounding. She is a wizard of the web – a true wizard. Able to have a dozen screens playing and going, people around her carrying on conversations & she is tracking it all. She has operated her own web development company for over 6 years now and her work, including everything from code to design to marketing, is extremely undervalued. She was the sole reason Harvest Cycle was picked up by the New York Times prior to us even beginning official operations. Her search engine maximization skills on the back-end of websites is practically unmatchable. A truly gifted friend.
Her cooking abilitieis are the newest of skills revealed. We have embarked on Harvest Cycle: Raw and Nicole has been serving as head chef. Many of her web clients are restaurants and as such, food porn, as she call it, is a speciality of hers. She has a keen taste & eye for food, its preparation, and its presentation. I think we are going to see another side of her emerge as this opportunity looks to grow quickly.
Nicole has an incredible ability to read people and their energies. She is wicked intelligent, extremely caring, and very worldly. She has extremely strong opinions and profound insight but she doesn’t need to be the dominant voice in the room. And more impressively, she has this uncanny ability to help extremely bright individuals channel their gifts. She attracts the most interesting, accomplished, well-traveled, eclectic, beautiful, talented, and spirited souls. And she attracts a LOT of them. The Law of Attraction is at work in all of our lives and quite simply, states that we attract what we put out in terms of our energy. Nicole attracts individuals with these characteristics because she possesses them herself. She is an extremely bright light that has been guiding others for many years.
You see, here is the most amazing thing about her. She allows all of the beautiful details of her life to take a distant 2nd to what is going on outside of her. She plays this role in all of our lives. When you are with Nicole, it’s as if you are granted this cosmic permission to be completely you, unload however you need to unload, and she just observes and takes it all in. You always leave Nicole emotionally lighter than when you arrive to her. A healer in the most powerful of ways – working without you having any clue she is doing so.
She is one of the biggest connectors in this bridge we are building from old to new. Her network of friends spans countries not just the U.S. She is absolutely meant to be out there connecting all of these friends. Hearing and learning of visions that align. My company’s work is getting people together who share visions in order to help facilitate the manifestation of said vision. Nicole is my top energy scout indeed. She has been listening to me incessantly now for 3 months – she gets it. We will all be served when she has the ability to apply these new, more formalized energy-reading skills. We are ready to scout for the next tier of investment projects in our little world right now. For the foreseeable future, Nicole will be my primary advisor on the investing decisions I make with the company funds.
Personally, Nicole has seen parts of me that no one has seen. She has been there every step of the way as I’ve tried to channel the energy of this dream coming true. At times, that has meant being by my side for intense, dark hours as those old story beliefs held on right until they didn’t. So far in my life, no one has been able to take that from me. No one. Not to that extent. Because there is nothing I feel I need to hide from Nicole. She knows everything. She has seen the depths of me especially given the extremely personal nature of my company. No one up until now in my adult life has been able to handle where I’ve allowed myself to go with her. It gets too intense for most and in some way, everyone else has pushed back when I’ve gotten to a certain extent. With Nicole, she just let me keep going, which is what I needed to do in order for this vision to come to fruition.
I needed enough validation from someone who maybe didn’t yet understand what the hell I was trying to say but who got it enough and knew me well enough to let me keep going. She let me keep going. THAT is what I had been searching for – the person with whom I could share this entire crazy, world-changing, utopian, idealistic, vision. And…hers was an opinion that I valued…a lot! She is one bad-ass woman still waiting to come fully into her own. Her supporting me was no minor thing at all. She filled the most important role of my life thus far! Our souls were absolutely meant to connect at this exact time in this exact manner. I am extremely fortunate…extremely lucky to have her in my life.
I haven’t trusted a lot in my life. But in this new-Game it is all about love and trust. And expanding your definitions for both. I used to believe only two types of love existed – family love & romantic love. Crazy, I know. There is truly only one love. We have different energetic attractions to people in our world. And if we can allow ourselves to cease with all the labels and just let the energies interact, we would truly see the beauty of life and the ease with which it can be led.
I wasn’t even this trusting when I was married to my ex-husband. The relationship I have with Nicole is is the most trusting relationship I’ve ever had and it scared me a bit last week. Old belief patterns hold on to dear life. She knows everything and we are about to change the world. As much as we say we are ready and prepared, can you ever be for something like that? Like I said, I’ve never had a relationship like this one in my life. I am so grateful I was able to grow to such extents and to do so with this particular friend in these particular circumstances.
Nicole, I hope you know I do not take you for granted a single day. I know what you have done for me and my dream. It has been simply beautiful and it is hard to believe that we are only beginning. I cannot wait to see what all we are going to continue to create. I am finally ready to have some fun! My kind of fun…changing the world fun!! Thank you. Thank you very much! I love and trust you with my life. And we are ready!
