It was in Virginia that I wrote most of the text for NumberQuest and found the name, Sun Angel (the name of a South American hummingbird species that swooped out at me from a giant Webster's Dictionary one day). At the time I thought that we were writing a numerology software program that would make reports that bookstores could sell to their customers - like the astrology programs that were already on the market. I didn't know I would be building a website one year later. At the same time I was pretty much trading my paycheck at the store for beautiful crystals, essential oils, candles, books and music and all of the treasures that Crystalis sold!
I learned quite a bit about the properties of gemstones and their healing qualities and I fell in love with my own 'rock collection', often sleeping with several in my bed at night (much to the chagrin of my bed partner!). I would sense all kinds of things in these rocks and I could feel their different vibrations more and more subtly. I thought that the bookstore customers would like to have little cards to go with their gemstones that had the meaning and healing qualities on them, so I made a batch up and called them, "Crystal Cards" (for lack of a better title) but I left the store and Virginia before I had a chance to introduce them so they became the Gemstone Glossary on Sun Angel.
Homesick, but not quite the right time to return "home" to Arizona, when Steve had the opportunity to choose a new place to relocate for his job, we opted for Denver, Colorado. Steve is a very talented computer engineer and he could pretty much decide where he wanted to live and he'd have a lucrative job waiting for him there. Colorado is a beautiful state, though now I wish we had moved to Boulder or to Colorado Springs just for the loveliness-factor (Denver is not that pretty but it's very close to the mountains which are astounding).
One fateful day, my friend Allura called and told me about a new book that I should read called, "A New Beginning II" by Abraham-Hicks. It was recommended to her by a true earth-angel named Ardella Hecht, who is now a Real Angel glowing upon us from the Heavens around! I remembered how Ardella was the most joyful and positive person I had ever met. We were in Allura's watercolor classes together and her energy raised the whole room to a vibrant new place.
I ordered the book immediately and read it through in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. It was simple and honest and it was everything I had learnt in over 10 years of intentionally "working on myself", but it was available instantly - that moment. The moment you "GET" it. I was shot full of an energy that I can only explain as, "YES!!!!" and everything was crisp and colorful and new just like I had experienced so many times during 4th Way work and after meditating or spiritual dancing. This was the Answer I had been praying for since leaving the 4th Way school. I was asking, "Isn't there a Way to Grow through JoyFULL experiences instead of PAINfull ones???" Where the 4th Way taught how to USE life's pain and "friction" to Awaken, the Abraham-Hicks material teaches how to deliberately direct our own thoughts, feelings and focus of attention toward our heart's desires - however seemingly unrealistic - and experience "miracles" in daily life.
It was early 1995 and the Internet was new and still innocent. Some days earlier I had been asking Steve if he'd make a 'spiritual web site' with me that could be a place to share my numerology and Crystal Cards and other information I'd been collecting over the years. I imagined that it could have 3 areas; an "inneractive" section with free numerology and other "oracles"; an articles section for information and Visionary art and an "Emporium" where I could sell things like the things I sold at Crystalis Treasures. At first he didn't seem too interested, but for some reason he asked me if he could read the new book I had just read! The day he finished reading it he came home from work and said that we should build a Spiritual website! - I said, "good idea!" :)
So, our creative collaboration, Sun Angel was about to get a "body". We set out to make a web site. Steve already knew a little about the Internet so he began making html pages and programming the cgi scripts that would run the interactive features. I wrote text and made graphics and taught myself html by copying the tags from a little book he had called, "HTML". It was a time of pure, creative bliss and every day was more and more intense with good-feeling energy! Sun Angel Innovations was introduced on May 1, 1995 and it was so exciting to see those first few "hits" showing up in the live-action logs that Steve set up! Actual PEOPLE from all over the world were visiting OUR website!!! I still remember how wonderful that felt - it still does!
We built it... and people came. I learned more and more about html and graphic design and Sun Angel grew and grew. We didn't need to build it as a business to support us financially at the time so we gave everything away for free and even began to build free websites for others* that we felt should be made available to seekers, like the Environmental Defense Fund, The School of Wisdom, The Enchanted World, Abraham-Hicks and others (they all have their own websites now that are not connected or affiliated with Sun Angel). This is what can happen when the vibrational 'cup' of Love runneth over and your husband is a well-paid engineer! I wanted to share my blessings with others and Sun Angel was the perfect avenue. I learned a lot about people, "Love" and money in the process!
*footnote: Life changes and rearranges, so I am currently working on my own web sites, writing about numbers, love, law of attraction and positive perspectives as well as developing motivational/inspirational and self-development websites for others.
