As I near the end of Ocean Speake, Level I--and wholeheartedly look forward to pursuing Level II, I felt this as good a time as any to write to you to express my deep gratitude, not only for the invaluable lessons you have imparted on behalf of our amazing seashell partners and how these play a significant role in our own lives, but most especially, for you--a masterful teacher, a kind and loving guide and a dear and treasured friend.

Your devotion and enthusiasm for the animals that created the elaborate and sacred abodes which I have so eagerly studied these past months was evident from the very first day…. Not a single stone is left unturned in your ongoing quest for new and exciting information since you had last taught this class. From the very beginning, your class became, and continues to be, the highlight of my Monday evenings…. I am indebted to my fellow student and colleague, Kala, for informing me about your program. There is no doubt in my mind that everything happens for a reason…. I have loved every minute of your class; it has been such a joy every step of the way. I could take this class forever! :) Each and every week, I was, and am, afforded the opportunity of expanding my own horizons with the knowledge gleaned from our seashell friends and their awesome inner microcosms brought to life by you, Shelley, the “shell with the voice” that so beautifully resonates with both the message and the sounds of the sea…. I enjoy hearing the many life-changing stories from your own life and about others who have crossed your path that you share along the way. Our class has also become a wonderful gathering of like-minded individuals who wish to explore higher levels of consciousness, especially in our uncertain times, and ever-changing universe.

Shell, your scientific expertise and your intuitive genius are unmatched and meld beautifully into that which you have discovered as your life’s mission…. Like the grail that is always overflowing, so too, is the passion that you have for both your seashell friends and the students who have been, and continue to be, guided by you on this very special journey. Your sensitivity to the needs of your students--and the accommodations you have provided along the way, speak to the heartfelt compassion, humility and unassuming nature that make you the extraordinary person you are.

It is a rare individual who possesses the qualities that are so often evident within you--the perfect blend of sincerity, kindness, patience and a profound wisdom that is as unique as the seashells about which you teach.. As a result, you are able to help others find their paths, heal their wounds--both physically and energetically--and fulfill their missions with your innovative teachings and keen insights into the human psyche. After all, your works are the only ones out there about the deep and unusual information that is inherent in the “seashell kingdom.” Your book/s, oracle card deck and meditation CDs are revelations in and of themselves, and are extra special gifts that illustrate your close connection with the Divine--all the while providing the reader/student with a wonderfully inspiring view of the spiritual realms, and touching the soul on many levels.

You have taught us many things, not only about the “seashell kingdom,” but about ourselves…. Each and every lesson has been an example of utter perfection--that which can only be achieved when one speaks from the heart--and your heart is exquisite (just like the treasures of the sea)--filled with unconditional love and light at all times.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your gift with us, for making this world a better place, and most of all, for being my “Shell Angel.”

Love and Seashell Blessings Always,
