November 30, 2012 represented the official launching of my little company, Alyson Irene Noune’, LLC. Unbelievable to me that already, today marks the beginning of year 6.
Only a few in my world know to what extent I NEVER imagined my journey bringing me back to living in FL full-time after I left in 2010. My immediate & absolute love of Seattle upon my arrival in 2011, combined with a job at Microsoft (that I loved) landing in my lap made it even more unlikely that any scenario could cause a return to the east coast.
However, if I have learned anything in the past eight years, it is the following: change is constant & inevitable; trying to control the world outside of myself is futile & wildly inefficient; and, that the unplanned things in life are often THE most exciting, life-expanding, exhilarating experiences, providing the greatest opportunities to grow & shine one’s Light. Even if it meant a move back to FL, I had no choice but to follow a massive, unplanned, energetic pull back here in the late summer of 2012.
This segment of my journey has been more consciously lived and co-created than ever before. It has required more courage, perseverance, patience, and growth than I imagined I had the capacity to demonstrate. It has humbled me and brought me to my knees numerous times as I continue to battle my patterns of control, over-analyzing, over-thinking. over-criticizing & over-communicating. But the end of another Act in this play is fast approaching. And as with every end, there is an associated new beginning.
Or is it just a constant flow of ever-increasing awareness and expansion that has no real beginning or end?
In any case, a transitional point for sure is at hand. Where I place focus and how I choose to integrate, adjust, and align will very much determine what becomes of 2019. Continuing to understand, learn, and evolve with these deep, multi-layered feelings & experiences and navigating my way through the ‘Seeing is Believing’ world with this newfound knowledge of the greater Truth … that in ‘reality’, Believing is Seeing.
Included below … the original post announcing, to the Universe, my vision and dream.

Information. Entertainment. Engagement. Connection.
Words have the power to provide all of these things and more.
Is it a story you desire? Is it more information that you are craving? Is it a distraction that you are seeking? Or a connection beyond what you experience in your day-to-day?
Whatever it may be, my words are here to serve.
I can describe things, places, events, feelings and people. I can be extremely basic or I can be ultra descriptive. I can stick to the surface level or go deep, into the multiple layers of everything that exists everywhere all the time.
I can come from the approach of mass appeal and reference sports analogies, films and TV programs to help relate to and draw in the audience. Or I can be more ‘risky’ and take the road less traveled. Rather than try to appeal to the least common denominator of humanity, I am experienced at aiming for the greatest common multiple, in an effort to raise.
Raise energy. Raise awareness. Raise the bar of our collective existence by writing from a foundational assumption that what we put out in expectation is what we get back in a manifested ‘reality’. If the desire is to see more of the world of acceptance where thriving exists and cooperation, abundance and love dominate, I can provide words and stories that depict these things. Such examples can help to make it easier to expect and imagine that a different world is not only possible but already in existence.
I am able to give voice to the things that have none. Most notably, to the energies we feel but struggle to describe, explain or sometimes, even share with another. I write, allowing these feelings to dictate, guide, and lead the words that follow. Life has provided me with a plethora of experiences & perceptions from which to draw upon in my 4 decades plus. Times and things that we label as both ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Sports & academics. Travel and adventures. Marriage and divorce. Music and art. And perhaps, most educational of them all, a very real leap of faith taken at 36 years old to make a lifelong dream come true.
More lessons learned in the 6 years since that leap than in the earning of all of my college degrees assembled together. More ‘reality’ experienced than the protective walls of illusion allow one to see and live. Terrifying at times. Awe-inspiring and simply magnificent at other times. Humbling 100% of the time as I gain greater understanding and awareness of how much I do NOT know. Plenty of material indeed from which to create and share with others.
If need be, I am able to follow rules. However, I much prefer to soar free from limitations and constrictions. I thrive when entrusted to always intend and aim to maintain, respect for all. Assume positive intent, I say and allow, to grace our computer and phone screens, expressions that are rooted in love and a deep, genuine belief in a different version of our world.

Year 4 began today.
4 & I have an amazing relationship. I trust the energy of 4 more than any other number. The reason for this dates back to Christmas vacation, 6th grade, when my Uncle Joe made a young, sports-obsessed, 12-yr old tomboy’s dreams come true. (more…)

I believe this communication was intended for more than my new friend, which is why I am sharing. Thank you…from the absolute essence of my soul, HS, for it is now insanely clear how big a role your energy was intended to play in my life. Thank you very, very much for initiating our most recent correspondence and re-igniting my Light. (more…)
