I'm Here to Raise the Vibration of the Planet. You too?
Welcome! You are in the right place at the right time. Start here ▼
Can you really heal yourself, your home, and the world with your thoughts?
Yes. Everything begins with your thoughts.
For example…
Do you ever feel you’re at the mercy of outside energy sources—that your health, safety, peace of mind, relationships, or livelihood depend on someone or something outside of yourself? Many people today express feeling overwhelm, distraction, and even powerlessness in the face of strong, external forces. Yet focusing on these feelings leads to a victim mentality and a defeated attitude that nothing you do matters.
But it is possible to take control and instead create the life you choose. When you learn to connect to your personal energy source, you’ll feel grounded, secure, and empowered to make decisions and act with confidence. As your inner light grows, so does your energy field—and you’ll start to notice that you are attracting the people and circumstances that support your core values into your life. It will feel as though your life and the world have been transformed!
I know this because I went…
From living my best life to rock bottom
The year 2020 started out well. Our fifth grandchild was born January 5. The sixth was due in March. My husband and I were halfway into our third year of continuous cross-country travel as digital nomads.
Then came March and the pandemic lockdown. Still, not too bad for us. We were in Asheville, NC, our home base, temporarily living in a beautiful Airbnb owned by friends. Thinking the drama would pass in a few months, we hunkered down and did what we always did. He was a photographer and I am a writer.
Summer came and we saw no end to what we had thought was a temporary situation. So we rented an apartment, took our things out of storage, and moved in on August 3. On August 10, after a routine doctor’s visit, my seemingly healthy husband was diagnosed with late-stage, aggressive liver cancer. Almost three months to the day later, he was gone forever. Or so I thought.
The depths of my personal grief coupled with the collective grief being experienced in the world during the pandemic brought forth deep personal, emotional, and spiritual shifts for me. I’ve always been a sensitive, intuitive person, but this experience increased my both my intuition and sensitivity in explosive ways.
I had two choices:
Lose myself in the grief and let myself go. At the rate I was losing weight and interest in life, I’d be joining my beloved soon. Or…
I could listen to the voices that now follow me constantly and start on a new path—alone in form, but not in spirit.
From rock bottom to a higher dimension
I chose the second option.
Using skills learned from a 40+ year career in publishing, I began to research what I was experiencing. This led me to learn about empaths, energy healing, and using intuition to connect with higher guidance (and yes, even to those beyond the veil).
I started Shelley Writes to connect with others also experiencing massive change and looking for ways to heal their grief during the global crisis. It felt vulnerable, but I shared my experiences, positive and painful, on the healing path. And the more I shared the ups and downs of my spiritual journey, the more the people and solutions I needed seemed to come into my life. (Sound familiar?)
If you’ve made it this far down the page, you are supposed to be here. None of us has all the answers, but together we do.
Each of us may be on our own personal healing journey, but we need to work together to heal the world.
Are you ready to join me? I’m on a mission to raise the vibration of the planet.
It’s more than three years since I began Shelley Writes, and so far I’ve published about 170 articles on grief, healing, spiritual growth, Tarot, and travel photo essays. Many posts feature the spectacular images of my late husband and well-known art photographer, Joe Gemignani. I’ve also completed a 2-year, energy-healing program and I’m now a Certified Intuitive Healer.
And I’m just getting started. June 2024 marked the end of cycle and beginning of a new one—not just for me, but for you and all of Planet Earth. My upcoming series of posts is designed to pave a path for all those desiring to elevate the collective consciousness.
Know this: Everything I write focuses on how to harness your sensitivity, energy, and the deep inner shifts you’re feeling in a positive way.
What won’t you find here?
Paywalls, memberships, exclusive content, or anything that separates one reader from another. I am committed to sharing my information and the benefit of what I’ve learned, not sell it. (Remember, my mission is to raise the vibration of the planet. I can’t put a price tag or barrier on that!)
Do I accept support in the form of paid subscriptions and other love offerings? YES! Every monetary contribution makes it possible for me to devote more time and energy to my mission and those who share it.
You won’t find negative putdowns, complaints, or poor-me rants. You probably don’t indulge in that either, or you’d have clicked away by now. Be assured, I’m only interested in sharing how to think and act in ways that uplift your spirit.
So, what’s in it for you?
First and foremost—FREEDOM!
Freedom from the mind-control of outside sources. Freedom to live your best life and what you’ve come here to do. Freedom to live in joy. Freedom to use your voice and talents for good in the world. Most of all, freedom of choice in everything.
This is not an overnight change. Neither you nor I can wave a magic wand and correct hundreds thousands of years of social conditioning.
But as each individual chooses to find and share the light within, the world brightens. Energy is pervasive and each one of us is responsible for the personal vibes contributed to the whole.
You can learn how to think differently and help others to do the same, even if only as an example of living a life of purpose yourself.
So, what will you get as a Shelley Writes subscriber?
Inspiring stories, informed guidance, and my support as a Certified Intuitive Energy Healer.
You’ll find personal essays about spiritual growth in our evolving culture. I interpret Tarot spreads, which offer practical steps to take on your own journey. And the photo essays capture the highlights of my extensive cross-country roadtrip adventure, featuring the artistic images of award-winning photographer, Joe Gemignani.
Best of all, you’ll feel the personal satisfaction that comes with investing in yourself, the good of your family, and the future of the planet.
Each of us may be on our own personal healing journey, but we need to work together to heal the world.
Subscribe now and you’ll get a Welcome Letter with links to some of my most popular posts. You’ll immediately feel your spirit expand. And as the days and weeks pass, your inner light will increase, your positive energy will flow into the world, and you’ll be raising the vibration of everyone and everything around you—healing yourself, your home, and the world.
It all begins with your choice. Do you want to:
Live in light or dark?
Listen to your inner guidance or outside influences?
Live with joy or fear?
Take the next step in the journey to healing, trust in yourself, and freedom.
I’m looking forward to having you in the community!
