Triple Heart of LBT – My first pastel painting ever was fan art.

In honor of Loved by Tyloga‘s 4th birthday, I would like to share with you a story.

I asked the Universe to send me musicians.  My vision for myself was clear, and in my asking I felt a fire burning in me like never before.  It was a brisk spring day, and I had just left campus to drive back to my office.  In between jobs, I would focus on how I was feeling and what I was desiring.  During this time, I was at a pivotal crossroads.  As a conscious creator, I had choices to make in relationships, career, on what I was to do, where to go, but most importantly, who to BE and what thoughts and feelings I wanted to experience.

Somewhere in this moment, I decided to choose ME, that being who I truly was, and discover even more of who I was by releasing what I was to everyone around me.  I had built a woman around other’s perceived expectations, and even she believed them to be true.  In this moment of choosing, I was looking in a mirror at myself and seeing a light which I always knew to be; one of beautiful, pure love.  From that basis, I felt music pour out.  At the core of my soul, I always knew that was one of my truest passions.  If I was to start again, but this time from truth and authentication, I knew it had to be to follow my dreams of being a full time musician.  I knew I had to open up and let the world into who I truly was but first I had to discover that fully.  That path led me into exploring the limits of my expansion and recreate my beliefs as a limitless, ever becoming eternal being.  That was my choice, a divine free will offered to me, and accepted by me.

The universe answered in the most surprising and phenomenal way.

A couple months later, I happened to be on Facebook. You may have heard of the Dooley brothers, Thoughts Become Things, Vibration Activation, all of that jazz…if so then you know Andy Dooley.  He posted a cool message on his Facebook page.  After liking the post, my mouse was hovered over to show a bunch of other people liked it too.  But only one name popped up with his little profile pic, Fernando Oliveira.  I thought, well isn’t that the most awesome name I’ve ever seen liking stuff that Andy Dooley would post!  My curiosity encouraged me to click on his name.  I saw that he was in a different country than me but had musician written all over his profile.

I rarely add people I have never met in person at least once.  I have some online friends through Good Vibe University (my magical power posse!) but that’s it.  I was in a curious and open mood and the musician stuff intrigued me.  I sent a friend request, and went on my way.

He accepted the request, introduced himself in a message, and sent his band information.  Upon looking at Loved by Tyloga’s info, I was astonished to see the description was similar to the intent I had behind my projects.  To even more amazement, I found out he set up a home studio on a farm in Portugal, and pursued his passion for creating music from there.  I even said out loud to myself, “There’s a man…in the middle of Portugal…making the most amazing metal music…who brings the electric guitar to life like no one else I’ve met…WHAT!?”  How awesome is that!

I didn’t realize the depths of my asking the Universe for musicians…or the magnitude of the response.  Yet, now looking from this perspective, I see I was set upon a possibility of being Loved by Tyloga.

I was led into a realm of possibilities.  Fernando shared his music with me, a song at a time.  I felt like I was submerged into an online rock ‘n roll training academy.  I was shy over my music and was just opening up, but he allowed me to share mine…and offered me honest advice and encouragement.  We had this amazing stage between us where we could share openly, freely without judgement or discernment.  It was pure honesty and trust to allow ourselves to grow as artists…and human beings.  We both expanded rapidly.  He helped me during some of my darkest moments and I offered a light to him during his.  We created music together and cheered each other on for our own projects.

Through this sharing, he reflected to me not only a dearest friend, but a mentor, partner, and a lover…from across the world and time zones.  Spacetime showed itself as an illusion.  Synchronicities between us occurred over and over, and what we did communicate about our lives were so surprising the word coincidence proved to be illusionary as well.

LBT continues to flow through Fernando and the musical and beautiful light of his heart is ever more revealed with each moment.

The most amazing gift of LBT is how it raises me up and holds me there.  I resonate with the music; it feels like it was written for me. Sometimes I get little nudges or reminders sent to me via my internal radio waves.  I wake up to certain lyrics of certain LBT songs.  Its like Tyloga is speaking to me, comforting me, always reminding me of how loved I am.

During this becoming, I am continually awakened to my own heart, propelled by an overwhelming desire to feel and know who I really am.  I opened up to multidimensional living. I intended to expand in this way.  Through that intent, LBT came into my life and helped me in ways no one but God will ever understand.  My life was completely rearranged into a new reality.

I am eternally appreciative of Loved by Tyloga and for Fernando allowing and sharing his art and craft with me…and you.  I am forever changed and intend to be of loving support and inspiration for the flowers of Loved by Tyloga to ever blossom.

An added bonus to this day is the release of LBT’s new song entitled, “The Host.”  Thank you again!
