This Game Issue is an expression of
my gift for interactive art and
ceremonies. I wanted to celebrate
Earth Mother for Earth Day this year,
and when I listened, this is what she
whispered: “Find your Fabulousity!” Maria Mar

This issue has an integrative, healing intention. Sure, you’ll have lots of fun finding
your Fabulousity with the self-assessment game. You’ll be inspired with the beautiful
nature images. But underlying the experience is a process of healing the separateness
that isolates us from nature and throws us in a state of abandonment and
orphanhood. It is this isolation that steals your Goddess, leaving you to feel that you
are not enough.
As you read and play, allow yourself to reconnect to Earth Mother in all her faces
and elements. As you do, you will begin to find and feel the Goddessess that live in
you and the ways in which you share their elemental gifts and powers. Your
Fabulousity will reawaken and you will feel that you are perfect for your purpose.
This allows you to own your greatness. To see you there… that’s my bliss!

Exuberant Expression
Perfect for your
Purpose
Shine from Within
You irradiate a beauty that comes from
the depth of your soul. It emanates
kindness, joy and gratitude.
Your Fabulousity is a state of grace that
you share, shining your essence upon
everything you touch. Trust it and know
the beauty you irradiate outshines
appearance because it is the very essence of
beauty.
Honor your Fabulousity by sending an
Inner Smile to your organs and systems,
spreading your grace throughout your
being for your own wellbeing.
www.dreamalchemist.com 8
You are perfect for your purpose just as
you are right now, thorns and all.
Do you ask the rose to drop its thorns
before you praise its perfection? No,
because every part of it is perfect for its
purpose.
So are you. Your Fabulousity is like the
perfection of the rose, it stems from your
experience, talents and passion and each
part of you serves a purpose and adds
to your extraordinary idiosyncrasy.
Honor your Fabulousity by loving
and accepting yourself unconditionally,
without judgment, jus as you are right
now, and understanding how each part
of you helps you fulfill your purpose.
You’ve been repeatedly told that you
are “too much.” The next time you hear
this, know that what the person means is
that they don’t feel enough in
comparison to you, and that’s their
problem. Do not shrink your stature to
please others. Give yourself permission
for your gorgeous Fabulousity. Be your
authentic self, for you are the exuberant
expression of the vibrancy of life in all
its joy and passion.
Honor your Fabulousity by allowing
your spontaneous expression, your
intuitive connection and your eye for
what matters to enrich your
environment. Even those who may feel
intimidated at first will come to benefit
from being touched and awakened by
your exuberant expression.
A Miracle Worker
Bright Bouquet Exotic Exceptional
www.dreamalchemist.com 9
You have this delightful ability to
spread love and joy and to include others
in celebration.
You are rarely alone. Rarely do you
take credit by yourself, for you always
share it and invite others to shine.
Understand that your Fabulousity is
like the rainbow colors of a flower
bouquet with many brightly colored,
joyful flowers.
Honor your Fabulousity by making
sure that in your community building and
sharing, you benefit ~that you don’t pit
what you do for others against your own
benefit. Understand that just as what you
do for others benefits you, what you do
for yourself benefits them.
You are an elegant expression of
beauty, mastery and creative genius.
Don’t try to blend in, please! That’s not
your Fabulousity style!
You are seen as rare or exotic, and may
be intimidating to those who want to
blend with the wallpaper. But don’t be
tempted to do it. Toning yourself down
would not be of service to others.
Your Fabulousity lies precisely in your
rare perspective, your blend of elegance
and instinct that comes from a deep well
within you. You love the old places and
people with their stories, and yet you
paint them in fresh new colors. Honor
your Fabulosity by embracing your
distinctiveness.
You have a tough purpose and passion, to bring beauty and love to the most
desolate. You may bring art to oppressed groups, joy to the depressed population,
hope to sick children. Your Fabulousity is being a miracle-worker.
Be careful, however, that this beautiful purpose does not translate in your personal
life into being a caretaker to friends and family who do not value your gifts or having a
spouse or partner whose weight you must carry and who does not support you. Honor
your Fabulousity by getting the support and recognition you need and deserve.
Soul Gardener
www.dreamalchemist.com 10
You are an inspirer and a soul healer.
Your Fabulousity is subtle, yet powerful.
Every day you uplift, inspire and motivate
those around you; whether your family,
friends, students or clients~ to live a better
life, to see the beauty of this world and to
feel supported and deeply loved.
You spread gratitude! You may do this
through talents and gifts that sometimes do
not seem as vital as “saving lives” or as
practical as “teaching skills.” It is essential,
however, that you know the value you bring
to others and that you own the
transformation you bring to the world. Make
sure that you charge what you are worth!
Honor your Fabulousity by
celebrating your own beauty and
goodness and by replenishing your
own source of inspiration. Inspirers
need double inspiration every day!
Also make sure that you are clear
about how your gifts make this world
better. The Sacred Feminine teaches
that the internal processes in our
emotions and soul are the source of
the greatest miracles.
Know the miracles you grow in
your garden!

“I always wanted to be
an artist when I grew
up. From a very young
age I loved to draw and
create. As a child I lived
in the magical world of
my imagination and was
inspired by the beauty
in the natural world
around me.
And then I went to
school...”
Anne Gudrun
In my life I've been a nurse, a teacher
and a mother, but in my heart I never
let go of my dream. It was a secret that
I kept to myself. I wanted to be an
artist. I wanted to be ME. To live each
day creatively and as an expression of
who I am was my deepest desire.
It was grade one and the teacher
asked all the kids what they were going
to be when they grew up. The boys were
going to be firemen, policemen, and
doctors. The girls were going to be
mothers, nurses, and teachers. I didn't
hear anyone saying artist... I didn't
want to say the wrong answer... so when
it came my turn to speak I said - nurse.

Since I was five years old I imagined myself as an artist, yet it became a secret
dream I kept inside when life experiences took me down other paths. For many
years the dream seemed so far away... It felt like a long, lost child that I knew in
my heart was still alive. I had to trust that the dream would find it’s way home.
I decided to follow my heart... And I realized that my life was a mirror of my
inner Being. As I listened to my heart and honored my truth and desires, I began
creating my life from the inside out. When I began living in alignment with my
true self, I made my dreams a reality. I transformed my inner essence into my art.

You are transparent and tranquil
and sometimes people may confuse
this with a lack of passion. Nothing
further from the truth. Your treasures
are buried in the depth of the
transparent, tranquil waters of your
soulful being.
You observe without drama and
participate without demanding the
spotlight. But you hold a magical
treasure of visions, revelations, beauty
and insights in the depth of your
emotional wisdom, freely available to
those who take the time to know you.
Honor your Fabulousity by knowing
the power in your presence and
trusting those beautiful treasures in
your heart. And while you don’t need
to rock the boat in order to attract
attention, be sure that you are not
hiding under a cloak of invisibility.
Allow your light to shine through.
You are a force of nature, and to be in
your presence is to be immerse in the state
of transformation.
You bring movement, change, a
dynamic sense of meaning and excitement
into the life of your people; be it your
family, friends or your Tribe.
You came here to help effect BIG
transformation to this world; and your
Fabulousity is deeply link to your power
and fearlessness to speak your truth, call it
as it is, face the unknown, take risks, be
willing to change in order to grow and
inspire others to do the same.
Honor your Fabulousity by accepting
yourself as you are, without trying to tone
yourself down or confine the power of
your waves to fit other people’s
limitations. Perhaps you can discern when
a person or situation is ripe for change or
when to stay still. But never constrict your
expansiveness.
Be bold, be brave, be YOU!

The element of water is the power of emotions, the Goddess that lives in your womb and your song.
2 Treasures in
the Deep 1
Wave of
Transformation
You are flexible like streaming water
and yet, steady as a rock. It is this
balance that allows you to be a constant
source of nurturance and support to
others while keeping your passion always
alive and streaming.
You constantly surprise those who
think they know you and want to
pigeonhole you. Because you are
supportive and nurturing, they may
want to take you for granted. That’s
when they see your passion burst open
and find that you are a daily miracle; not
to be taken for granted.
Honor your Fabulousity by doing
what makes you happy and supporting
your own dreams. A happy woman feeds
the joy in the world.
You are an embrace of clear, blue
water that cleanses and heals the soul.
Your presence is receptive and loving
and invites people to speak their truth
because they feel listened.
You are an abundant being whose
hands are always filled with gifts, food,
beauty and support for those around
you and for any project you work on.
Your Fabulousity is vibrant in the Art
of Receptivity and you are a Goddess of
Abundance.
Honor your Fabulousity by valuing
the gifts that you bring to the world. Do
not waste your time, energy, abundance
or support in anyone who devalues you.
www.dreamalchemist.com 20
3 4 Healing Presence
You are the water that nourishes life, the everlasting spring of inspiration, passion
and life force that brings joy, enthusiasm and renewal to any project. You support your
friends’ dreams, keep the party going all year and are a source of positivity and
inspiration around you.
Your Fabulousity is ever-flowing, but you need to heal and replenish yourself in
order to keep on giving. Honor your Fabulousity by resting, taking care of your own
health and needs and by making sure that you are supporting your own dreams and
nourishing your own joy.

Steady Streams
Luscious Spring
of Life
You are deeply connected to Soul.
You feel and see the hidden truths,
feelings and possibilities in a situation
or person.
Your Fabulousity is soulfulness and
poetry. Sometimes it's hard to speak
the language of your soul because
others may get scared or confused or
may even joke defensively. This makes
you hide under a mask of ordinariness
that you are far from experiencing.
Don't pretend. Dare to be the poet
you are. Dare to speak simply, purely
and deeply from your Soul. Dare to be
vulnerable. Dare to do it in your own
intimacy and then grow in strength
until you can do it in company.
Perhaps it is not appropriate to
speak Soulish in a community speak-
out or party. But when your Soul
prompts you, when your intuition tells
you that you must speak Soulish, then
honor your Fabulousity by daring to
speak the language of your Soul.
You are a creative genius and your
imagination is so expansive, fast and fertile
that sometimes you overwhelm people!
When you enter stillness, your imagination
blossoms like a garden, with many ideas,
insights, stories and images. You are probably
multi-talented and may be several of these at
once: author, visual artist, musician or
dancer.
You may also be an idea genius or an
innovative genius in your field.
Your Fabulousity is your creative genius
and is deeply linked to your fertile
imagination, open mind, capacity to wonder
and willingness to experiment, explore, make
mistakes and take risks.
Your presence is like a rainbow that joins
sky and ocean (Left and Right Brain
Hemispheres.)
To honor your Fabulousity, channel your
emotions creatively in order not to overwhelm
yourself and others with the overflowing
passion that is ignited by your imagination.
You may also need to learn how to discern
what should be done and what you should let
go, and then implement and finish what you
decide to develop.

7 Poet of the Deep
Truths of the Soul
6 Creative Genius
You are a Love Goddess. You were
born to inspire and guide people
through their journey of love. You
may be a marriage counselor, love or
relationship coach or an author who
writes romance novels.
Your Fabulousity comes from the
journey you have gone through in
order to be open to love and master its
art. This journey may have included
many painful relationships, divorce a
lack of self-love that lead to
unfulfilling relationships and sexual
acting out.
Now, however, you ARE love and
your presence opens the heart of
others. You have the patience, humor,
compassion and empathy to create
healthy relationships.
Assume your role as Love Goddess.
Honor your Fabulousity by making
sure that you don't counsel people for
free or people who are not ready and
will trash your counsel. Create your
own healthy criteria for guiding others
in their love journey successfully.
The moon in the night reflected in the
waters speaks of an Extreme Female
Archetype that carries the Female Gifts and
makes you a Messenger of the Sacred
Feminine. You may even be a Priestess of the
Goddess.
Your Fabulousity resides in your Feminine
Powers, including intuition, emotional
wisdom, vulnerability, creativity,
receptivity, BodySoul integration and a gift
for beauty.
Be aware that these gifts have been
devalued by patriarchy and there may be
parts of you that were brought up seeing
these gifts as weaknesses.
Heal your Sacred Feminine by reclaiming
these gifts.
Then heal your Sacred Masculine by
waking it up and placing it at the service of
your Sacred Feminine.
Honor your Fabulousity by taking action
in the world on behalf of your dreams, Soul
purpose, talents and desires. The Sacred
Masculine is the knight that goes out to
fulfill the Queen's (Soul) dreams. Make sure
your Knight has a sword (strategy, plan) and
a horse (means of action and progress).

9 Love Goddess 8
Messenger of the
Sacred Feminine
Water is a potent resonator. It carries sounds powerfully and quickly. It responds
to vibrational frequencies and intention by quickly Shapeshifting to reflect the
patterns of the sound.
Your Fabulousity is connected to your voice, intention and vibration and the gift
to alter the waters and the Soul. Your voice can inspire, uplift frequencies, heal and
even effect profound changes in a situation.
Humans are about 60% water. Therefore, your voice can affect people powerfully,
as it can affect the water element on earth.
As a Songstress of the Waters, you can be an alchemist, healer and harmonizer for
individuals, groups and nature using your voice in singing, recitation, storytelling or
healing sounds.
If you are not already doing this, now is the time to experiment, play and learn,
for the world needs your healing voice now.
Honor your Fabulousity by honoring your voice, trusting your intuition in
speaking, singing and expressing yourself and freeing your expressive abilities so
that you can become an instrument of The Divine.
www.dreamalchemist.com 23
10 Songstress of the Waters
As a baby boomer, I began my
journey to personal power imitating the
Male Way of Power. This was the only
way of power presented by patriarchy.
The irony is that as a feminist, I was
struggling to free myself from the
sexism in patriarchal society while at
the same time unconsciously adopting
its definition of power.
Today I walk the Female Way of
Power, based on the definition of power
as Presence. All that I am, know and
offer is carried in my Presence. No one
can take it from me. I do not need to
push or defend myself or to compete
with others. This frees me from the grip
of control as power, which creates
stress in women and groups.

Your Self-healing Body

“Like water, the Sacred
Feminine is receptive and
adaptive. It is emotionally
wise and emotions are akin
to the water element. It is
collaborative, being-
oriented, soul-directed,
body-integrative, creative
and intuitive. These Female
Gifts have been devalued
historically, but they are
your Female Way and are
needed in the world to
recover our human and
ecological balance.”
The Goddess of the Waters
Do you know that 97% of women are unhappy with their
bodies? Do you know that in most fields women are not only paid
less, but are less visible at the highest levels? Do you know that
women suffer from a myriad issues of visibility that hold them
back? That we often feel guilty for being happy or successful?
I have gone through all these limitations and I have broken free. I have freed my
vast creative potential. I went from homeless to the CEO of my own corporation,
where I offer products and services based on my soul’s purpose and unique talents. I
have reclaimed self-love, self-esteem, self-authority and self-expression.
As a priestess of the Goddess, I help you reclaim your power in the Female Way, to
become a Female Leader in your field and to shape your purpose into a practice or
business.
As a woman, you have your own path to power, one based on your Female Gifts.
Are you holding back, sabotaging yourself, procrastinating or resisting because you
are forcing yourself to a way of success or growth that does not follow the fiber of
your being ?
Assume the Female Way and you will be able to do the changes you need to create
the life you want, and to do them gracefully right now.

You know with the heart and your
Sacred Heart has a strong connection
with Earth, and especially with
ancient trees.
You are the hearth in your group;
whether it is the one who cooks for the
party or the person in whose house
everyone loves to meet.
Your heart nurtures others and
nurtures the truth that arises from the
soul. Your Fabulousity is deeply rooted
in Soul and allows you to feel when
others are disconnected from their
Soul and to intuitively know what
their Soul needs. That is why so many
people go to you for help.
Honor your Fabulousity by trusting
your heart’s wisdom, taking time to
listen to your own Soul and to do what
you love. Stay home alone at least
twice a week to reconnect to your
heart and nurture yourself.
For you it is important to live in harmony.
This expresses in your body in the need to
live in balance so that your cells vibrate the
frequency of harmony, which is health. In
your home, you need an environment that is
clean, harmonious and in harmony with
your Essence.
You love organic, natural wear and art
that expresses the wild in you, whether it is
peacock feathers or stone. You don’t like
artifice or pretense, but you love beauty.
Your Fabulousity is based on healthy
eating and living, a body that is toned and
expresses who you are. It is nurtured by your
connection to nature. You need to live close
to trees and may love gardening or walking
in nature.
Honor your Fabulousity by being in
harmony within yourself and seeking those
people and environments that are in
harmony with you; rather than sacrificing
who you are to be in harmony with others
who are in a different frequency.
www.dreamalchemist.com 31
The element of earth is the sensual, instinctual , elemental power of our body and physical existence., which includes health and wealth. It is the Goddess that shapeshifts into all forms of life. It is belonging, nurturing and manifesting.
2 The Sacred Heart
of Trees
1 Living in Harmony
Earth Goddesses are practical, have
strong foundations and like to keep it
real.
And you are an Earth Goddess. But
here’s the thing… you also make the
impossible possible.
Your Fabulousity is deeply rooted on
Earth and the Natural Laws that govern
it. But your Soul sees in those Natural
Laws the movement of the Sacred Laws
and in the Natural World the presence of
the Sacred World.
That’s why you can make the
impossible happen using your very
practical perspective and down-to-earth
skills and actions. No matter how “real”
you like it; know that reality is a
miracle-in-progress. Stay open to the
surprising ways in which the miracle
suddenly transpires.
Honor your Fabulousity by ceasing
your doubts, trusting your Soul and
marrying the practical and the sublime.
You did not come here to play small, but
to make your BIG vision a reality, one
small step at a time.
You are kin of the Stone Beings. Why do
you love stones? Because you love stories.
You love silence. You love to be in the
present moment where life is shaping itself
through the expression of beingness.
Your Fabulousity expresses itself in your
strong Presence.
Here’s the irony: Your Presence invites
others to step closer in order to step through
whatever transformation they need to
embody their purpose. As a result, you are
often asked to help, to assist in emergencies,
start-up projects and transitions and you end
up in the middle of the action too often!
Understand that you are a story-maker
and you are making history every day. That
is a gift you have. You make things happen.
You are a bridge. But to honor your
Fabulousity you need to become like stone:
receive, include and accept what comes your
way, by all means. Be a stepping stone, by all
means. But BE. Stay still long enough to
know your own story. Be the bridge to your
own destiny. Open space for Sacred Silence,
beingness and reflection.

4 Making the
Impossible Possible
3 Sacred Stepping
Stones
You are a shapeshifter. But you have
yet to master the art of shapeshifting
for your own purpose and desire.
Now you shapeshift to please others
and fulfill their expectations of you.
You shapeshift to be the perfect mom,
the loving wife or lover, the good
daughter, the amazing friend.
Your clay is being formed by other
hands (because you are giving away your
own power as the sculptor) into forms
that are gifts, duties and tools for others
or for other’s goals.
It is time that you master the art of
shapeshifting for yourself and your
own Dream ~your own delight.
Sense your Fabulousity as you become
clay and sensually shape your days,
time and space, your attention and
actions, your posture and words to
become who you truly are in your
Essence and to embody your purpose
right now.
Honor your Fabulousity by
embodying your Dream every day
through being, doing and embracing
what brings you joy.
The Desert Goddess is whispering in the
wind and caressing you in the sun.
Her whispers call you to silence, to stop
the doing, giving, pushing, trying and
busyness and enter Sacred Stillness.
There is a purity in the desert that cannot
transpire in any other place. It comes from
the Zen Art of Receiving. Stilling the
movement. Silencing the mind. Stopping the
world.
Listen. Receive. Allow. Perhaps your
Fabulousity exists in the desert zone.
Perhaps it needs to visit the desert to
blossom in all its force.
Receiving may seem a weakness. Allowing
may seem passivity. But these are Internal
Actions from the Sacred Feminine that the
desert helps you master.
Listen to the wind and allow its song to
open a wave of sensual, expansive
frequencies within you.
Feel the sun penetrating your body,
warming your home, invigorating your mind,
and you will birth ideas so innovative that
you can’t imagine them now.
Honor your Fabulousity by listening to the
Desert Goddess now.

6 The Zen Art of
Receiving
5 Shapeshift!
The Goddess of the Mountain often
shows up as a spiritual master seating
on the top of the mountain, deep in
meditation.
She guides you in your vision quest
and teaches you reflection.
Here’s the Fabulousity in reflection:
it is not about the form you use to
meditate. It is about SEEING the
reflection.
Everything you see and experience
is a reflection, a Sacred Mirror. It
shows you something about yourself.
It may be the lesson you need to
master right now. It may be a hidden,
disowned part of you. It may be a Life
Metaphor that is an answer to your
question or a clue in your quest.
This Goddess is asking you to
understand the essence of reflection.
You may want to go to a tranquil
place or climb the mountain. But that
is just a place, not the action. The
action is to SEE the reflection. Honor
your Fabulousity by SEEING the
reflections that life shows you right
now, right where you are.
Your money does not come from your job.
Your safety does not come from your routine.
Your belonging does not come from being
“normal” to be accepted.
You are deeply rooted in the power of The
Source. You are one with The Source.
The reason you need to penetrate your root
system deeply into earth is not in order to
avoid falling. That is a fear-based action. You
sink your roots deeply to connect to The
Source and receive from it all the nutrients you
need to grow.
Your Fabulousity is that you are one with
the Earth, one with The Goddess in all her
forms. You are one with The Source.
Develop this deep intimacy and receive
what you need directly from Source. Trust it.
Ask for it knowing that it’s already coming up.
Honor your Fabulousity by feeling, trusting
and cultivating your connection to The Source
and letting go of doubt, neediness and the
holding on to money, clients, security, a job,
the boss and other things that are just
channels, not The Source. The Source can
bring you what you need and desire in so
many ways! There are infinite channels. Go
directly to The Source.

8 Reflection
Roots of Belonging 7
You are the Nurturing Mother that cares for the Children of Earth. You know the
value of the food that Earth Mother gives us and you educate, nurture and heal
through these gifts. You are so grateful for the healing food that Earth Mother provides
her children!
Your Fabulousity is deeply linked to the fruits of the earth and your passion is to
connect others with these fruits.
You may be a chef or so passionate about cooking and food that every holiday you
put out dozens of delicious dishes for your family or friends. Perhaps you are a healthy
eating/ healthy living educator or activist. Perhaps you help women heal from eating
disorders. You may also be an author, artist or expert that integrates the fruits of
earth, the blessings from Earth Mother and the message of a healthy lifestyle in your
services or creations.
Your Fabulosity is a celebratory as well as a healing art. Know that it is of essential
value and that you are called right now to share it because humanity must reconnect to
Earth Mother and this is one of the most important ways to do it.
Your work is of pivotal importance right now. Trust it. Value it. Charge what you are
worth. Make it visible. There’s no space for playing small. You have a BIG mission.
Honor your Fabulousity by stepping up to this mission and expressing your passion
with your own colors and in a way that makes you jump with joy. This is the way to
help others and Earth Mother now. It’s not only enough. It’s MORE than enough!

Passion no.1: Art
My art is how I interpret the world
around me, it is how I experience reality
and how I want my reality to be
experienced. I popped out of my
mother’s womb, brush in hand — okay,
not quite but I do remember starting to
show a keen interest in drawing and
painting at a very early age.
I was there once but woke up
gradually to the beauty and sheer
wonder of creation. I decided that I
wanted to create a reality that is
steeped in vibrant color, ludicrous
humor, whimsical wonder, pensive
reflection, unstoppable action and
transformational energy through
my passions.
Cherie Roe Dirksen, artist, author and musician.
“We truly live in
remarkable times
— isn’t this just a
great time to be on
Earth? Well, I
think so
anyway. So much
is taken for
granted on a daily
basis, some of us
often forget to
stop and smell the
roses along our
path in life.”

Passion no. 2: Writing
My writing is a reflection of how I attain the deeper meaning of the inner and
outer nonsense of my life. I like to simplify spiritual concepts and universal
conundrums. I love slotting puzzle pieces of information together and seeing the
metaphor behind all life experience unfold.
www.dreamalchemist.com
Cherie Roe Dirksen: “I was born and live in Cape Town, South
Africa. The natural beauty of the Mother City has been constant
inspiration for me. I aspire to project my love for nature in my art
and music. I had my first self-empowerment book published in 2011
— my writing helps me to connect the dots of my past so that I can
mindfully create my life in the present and hopefully help others to do
the same.”
I am offering a courtesy copy of my book “Creative Expression — how to find your inspiration” (along with
some other free goodies). This book is a compilation of bite-sized motivational teachings accompanied by my
art to help you kick-start your own creative adventure. Get it here: Cherie Roe Dirksen Newsletter)

“I am very passionate about my beliefs and
started writing to ‘de-clutter’ my head.”
Passion no. 3: Music
Then there is music. My main
instrument is the bass guitar. I was in a
band in my early 20′s and enjoyed the
‘rock’ scene. Our band was called ‘The
Bends’ — yes, it was in the 90s.
I like to compose instrumental,
meditative music. I started doing this for
myself as I was looking for a specific
sound to use with my own meditations.

You are the life of the party. You are
the fireworks!
Some people see that as frivolous and
see you as happy-go-lucky. Don’t fall for
that illusion.
Your Fabulousity is the power of
celebration. And celebration is a force
that can initiate miracles, finish
projects and raise funds and spirits.
Your Fabulousity may seem selfish to
those who hide in obscurity or pride
themselves in being dutiful. They may
see you in the limelight and not realize
how many people are basking in their
glory thanks to your own luminosity.
Honor your Fabulousity by making
sure that you give credit to others, share
the limelight and include those who are
usually not given credit, but in whose
shoulders every project rests… and then
enjoy without regret!
You are a champion, a heroine, a force of
nature that makes things happen with the
sheer power of your will, ambition and
passion.
Yours is the champion’s torch and you
have the trophies, résumé and awards to
prove it.
Your passion and ambition drive you to
grow, learn, improve yourself and create
new possibilities, opening the door for those
around you and those who come behind
you, and you should be proud.
You are a leader and your Fabulousity is
stardom material.
Honor your Fabulousity by living in
balance. Know when to rest, when to BE
instead of doing and when to pass on the
torch and rest in your laurels. Know the
difference between will power and intention.
Will Power is of the mind and third chakra.
Intention comes from the Soul and gets its
power in the Heart Chakra.

The element of fire is the power of the mind, the warmth of the hearth, giving form to life, taking action, visibility, cooking the alchemy of manifestation and the power of faith and devotion.

Your fire is more subtle, less dramatic,
but infinitely more powerful.
The fire of faith is like the flame of a
candle that glows in a small room, and yet
it transcends the containment of walls and
illuminates your consciousness, evoking
your spiritual guidance and connecting you
to Divine Source.
Do not underestimate your Fabulousity
simply because it’s not as tangible or
dramatic as a forest fire. Your light is like a
small dragonfly that illuminates the dark
night, bringing hope and magic and
allowing you to place one step after the
other, even as you walk in the unknown.
Honor your Fabulousity by knowing the
power of your faith to create miracles, defy
the confines of time and space and
instantly transcend any limit.
Fire is neither good nor bad. It can
destroy, but it can also construct. In
fact, humans transcended the pure
animal state when they mastered fire…
and you are pure fire and flame!
Your Fabulousity is fully linked to
your passion. You burn bright, hot and
have the talent to become visible and
viral, to spread like wildfire.
You master the art of publicity and
virality, marketing and public
relations… or it may just come natural.
With this, comes the responsibility of
what you mean and what you offer.
Stay in integrity. Honor your
Fabulousity by being real, honest, kind
and being of service to others.
www.dreamalchemist.com
3 4 Pure Fire!
What’s cooking? In your life, something fragrant, delicious and abundant is always
cooking. Your Fabulousity? You are a doer, a builder, an action taker. You don’t have a lot of
patience for dilly-dallying, discussing things to death or for those who talk a lot but do little.
While others are inflaming the hearts of the candid with passionate words and big
promises, you are selling the tickets, raising the funds, baking the cake, cooking the food,
creating the t-shirts or making sure that the volunteers know what they are doing. Honor
your Fabulousity by making sure that you DO get the credit and earn what you are worth.
Don’t hide behind the big talkers!

You are like a potter or sculptor,
giving new forms to old realities or to
realities as yet unknown through the
power of your imagination.
Dare to dream. Dare to imagine. And
know that if you imagine it, if you want
it deeply, then you CAN do it.
The Divine only gives you a vision,
only turns on the flame of your passion,
when you have the capacity to make it
happen right now, one step at a time.
The challenge for your imaginative
Fabulousity is that you are being called
to do something unique, something that
you have never done before. It may even
be that it is something never done by
anyone until now!
Trust your hands. Once your
imagination is ignited, your hands get
warm and itch to create, to do, to
explore. Trust that power in your hands
and start giving form to your
imagination in time and space. That is
how you manifest.
Honor your Fabulousity by trusting
your imagination and giving new form to
things to come.
Your heart is a furnace that gives shape
to the children of your passion.
When you desire something or are
passionate about a cause or purpose, your
heart calls you out with extraordinary
clarity and strength.
Right now your heart is calling to you
to embody your purpose, to take your
next call, your next level of growth.
When this happens, your Fabulousity is
on! Your Inner Clarity, passion and
devotion are turned on and you are on a
mission.
Your heart leads the way. It sends
intuitions, Emotimages (emotive images)
that give you a feeling that guides you
and a vision of the larger picture.
Your Fabulousity is contagious and you
attract allies, opportunities and resources
effortlessly to grow this vision of your
heart. Trust it.
Honor your Fabulousity by allowing
the furnace of your heart to give shape to
the goals, steps and actions you will take
to make this BIG vision a reality. Acting
from your heart is your Fabulousity!
www.dreamalchemist.com 44
6 7 The Fire of
your Heart
Creating New
Forms
You are lighted directly by
Grandfather Sun, the source of life and
strength, clarity and vigor for humans.
This gives you infinite energy, vibrant
health and an almost inexhaustible
repertoire of ideas.
Your Fabulousity seems to be an
infinite, abundant genius and the energy
to implement the many brilliant ideas
you generate.
But here’s the thing: though you are
constantly replenished and inspired, you
ARE human. You need to rest, to empty
your mind and to work and live in
balance.
Hence, your need to learn how to
delegate. There’s no fault or guilt in
doing the things that you do best: ideate,
strategize, hold a BIG vision, come up
with new ways of implementing; and
leave the technical stuff, details and
other implementation tasks to others
who specialize in it. If you feel insecure,
create detailed systems that allow you to
delegate efficiently .
Honor your Fabulousity by delegating
and living in balance.
You are operating under the auspices of
Brigit, the Goddess of the Hearth.
Brighid was the patron of poets and
bards, as well as healers and magicians.
She was especially honored when it came
to matters of prophecy and divination.
She was honored with a sacred flame
maintained by a group of priestesses, and
her sanctuary at Kildare, Ireland, later
became the home of the Christian variant
of Brighid, St. Brigid of Kildare. Her
celebration is Beltaine, in the first of May.
In Britain, Brigit's counterpart was
Brigantia, a warlike figure of the
Brigantes tribe near Yorkshire, England.
She is similar to the Greek goddess Athena
and the Roman Minerva and connected to
Female Wisdom and power.
Your Fabulousity is directly related to
your creativity and the way you use it to
educate the young ones , grow wellness
and bring family and friends together in
gratitude or to mark Rites of Passage.
Honor your Fabulousity by getting help
when you plan big events and giving
yourself time to enjoy your hobbies, gift
making and other activities without
pressure. You deserve some fun!

The Gift of
the Sun
I missed having any kind of normal
childhood from age 7 to 17 as I was in a
wheelchair, which caused me to live
those years isolated, alone and sad. I
was angry too but that I repressed. My
parents’ over-protectiveness (or was it
control?) made much of what I ever
wanted to do a struggle.
On top of all that I’ve dealt with
depression for years and in the past 15 –
20 years I’ve begun to experience what
is called Post-Polio Syndrome … muscle
weakening, exhaustion and pain.
So my mobility is severely limited …
making even normal everyday activities
extremely challenging.
Having faced the crippling impact of
polio at the age of 7, I know, as few
others can, the life-long struggle of
living with physical challenges. I was a
normal kid one minute and then BOOM,
I never was again.

I recently read about a
man who lost both legs and
one arm in Vietnam and he
told of how the physical

deeper and took much
longer to deal with ...

lifetime." –

“For most of my life, I asked myself why did I end up with the life I did? So
much struggle … pain … sadness … isolation … and the only thing that ever made
any sense to me was that I could use my life as an example … a “shining” example,
if you will, to inspire others, those more and less fortunate than me … and so here’s
what I know…
We can each be a star in our own lives … if only we believe we can. We all have the
capacity to move past our obstacles and challenges, ~whether physical or emotional,
obvious or hidden~ and achieve the goals and dreams of our hearts. It is actually
our Divine Right and Responsibility to play that starring role and to shine
… however … wherever … whenever we can .We owe it to ourselves and to those
we can inspire.

You are an optimistic. You always
see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Negative people and cynics may
think of your optimism as a Polyanna
syndrome, but you know that you
have chosen this path in the face of
adversity, pain and even depression.
You have chosen that the glass is half-
full, and this allows you to fill it!
Your Fabulousity is the vibrational
frequency that comes from choosing to
see everything as a miracle and to
trust that the Divine, through each
situation, is on your side.
This perception allows you to work
miracles and transmute adversity into
possibility.
Honor your Fabulousity by seeking
like-hearted people that replenish and
nurture your faith, trust and capacity
to see the light in the darkness.
You are a shining star born to illuminate
the world. There is a strong luminosity in
you, visible to anyone that sees the truth.
Your Fabulousity comes from the integrity
and compassion with which you live and
grow, your devotion to choose love, truth and
compassion at every turn. This irradiates
outward like a halo!
You suffer when you meet jealousy and
envy. Sometimes you hold back and stay
isolated because you fear the naysayers or
toxic comments. Release these fears. Extend
compassion to those who instead of drinking
from your light, try to cloud it. Understand
this is the human price paid by all stars.
Honor your Fabulousity by remembering
that you are already perfect for your
purpose, and that your mistakes and
imperfections are the path to your growth.
Give yourself the compassion you so readily
give others.
www.dreamalchemist.com 55
The element of air & sky embodies our spirituality, the moving from the tiny mind to our vast mind, where we are one with The Source. It is about our choice to be happy, about living our purpose and about being inspired and being an inspiration.
2 Light at the End of
the Tunnel!
1 The Shining Star
The Sacred Mirrors is an ancient
teaching present in all life.
You may be a teacher of the Sacred
Mirrors or you may be called to master this
wisdom in your life.
Your Fabulousity perceives the situations
and people around you as Sacred Mirrors.
They are mirrors of inner processes and
truths within you. They are mirrors of
each other. You can read these mirrors to
see your Blind Spots, heal your imbalance
and find the right path for every occasion.
These mirrors show you how to heal or
uplift your vibrational frequency. They
answer your questions. They show you the
consequences of the choices you face.
Honor your Fabulousity by learning to
look into the Sacred Mirrors with honesty,
courage and compassion. Release judgment
of yourself or others. Seek the lesson, the
path to growth. If you are to teach this
path to others, begin by applying any
Sacred Mirror to yourself. Then aspire to
see what each mirror reveals about our
humanity and how it helps our evolution.
You are an intuitive, psychic, dreamer,
medium, telepath or seer.
Your Fabulousity is that you see the
subtle changes that most people miss. You
see the spirits of the place and the time.
You see energy. You may dream things to
come, dream with the Dead and receive
messages or have shamanic dreams where
you heal or change your life.
Your reality seems "metaphysical" or
even "hocus pocus" for most of the
population, and that is not an easy thing
to live with.
That has lead to doubts, hiding,
defenses and other strategies in your life
that may have held you back.
As you come out of hiding, understand
that you are the future modality of
humanity. We are evolving our psychic
abilities, and you are a role model, teacher
and guide.
Honor your Fabulousity by assuming
your authority with firmness, yet with
compassion; without false humility but
keeping your heart open to the wonder of
this world.
www.dreamalchemist.com 56
4 The Sacred
Mirrors 3 The Intuitive
You have such a strong spirituality
that you often repel or disregard your
physical existence.
You are just realizing that there is an
Inner War in you between the spiritual
and the material. You are becoming
conscious that you often reject money
and neglect your physical body, that
you see physical existence as
cumbersome, shallow or even sinful.
Your Fabulousity, believe it or not, is
in facing this Inner War. You are meant
to be a teacher or healer who helps
others bring their spirituality into
balance with their physical existence.
You are meant to help others see their
bodies and any condition in their bodies
as part of their spiritual path and to see
in their circumstances, obstacles and
body the instruments to their evolution.
Honor your Fabulousity by walking
this path yourself with joy and
compassion. Relax into your physical
existence. Enjoy and celebrate it, no
matter how imperfect you believe it is.
Receive it and express it as part of your
gifts and an expression of your spirit.
You are a Peace Keeper. It may surprise
you to hear this, as you may have gone or are
still going through deep inner turmoil.
But as you face this turmoil, what does
your Soul desire? It is peace, harmony,
coherence. What you hunger for is the
purpose you came here to embody.
You may have achieved Inner Peace
already, or you may be on your way. Your
Fabulousity is the gift of peace, harmony
and coherence in your Presence.
This peace and harmony are reflected in
all you do, say or share; in your writing,
words, voice, presence, teachings or
coaching, your touch and your acts.
You bring peace and harmony into any
situation and environment, and this may
surprise you, as you may still be struggling
with inner battles yourself.
Honor your Fabulousity by knowing in
your heart that you are a messenger of peace
and harmony. You don't have to be perfect in
order to inspire this peace and harmony. But
you do need to embrace them in your
relationship with yourself and the challenges
you face. This is the test of your mastery,
not any state of perfection.

6 You are a
Peace Keeper
5 Physical Existence is
Spiritual
You love magic. You may be a shaman
or alchemist You are probably a
Dreamer and may be a storyteller.
You love magic and see the world as
magic. Your Fabulousity is to see the
magic in the natural world because you
see the Sacred World embedded in it. You
see the magic in situations that appear
ordinary to others, and you seek magical
ways to heal, transform and manifest.
Remember that magic is simply a
change of your perception that changes
your world.
One of the most powerful ways to
open your perception to magic is to allow
your eyes to shift, slightly unfocused, so
that you begin to see energy, halos,
reflections and other phenomena.
Another practice is to seek communion
with nature during time portals, such as
sunrise or sunset, midnight and midday.
Honor your Fabulousity by discerning
when what appears like magic is nothing
but fake magic tricks, the work of con
artists or wishful thinking. Learn to
distinguish fake magic from the REAL
magic present in life.
You may have battled depression for a
long time in your life. You may still be
battling it at some level. These dark clouds
can take you deep into your own darkness
and create isolation and pain so profound
that you feel that you are drowning.
Yet, time and time again, you use your
gifts to emerge from that darkness.
Your Fabulousity is your capacity to face
depression, grief and adversity and to
overcome the darkness to shed light over the
experience. This is what some people call
“finding the silver lining” of dark clouds.
It is a paradox of being human that we
often are gifted in the place we are
wounded; and came to serve in exactly the
area where we have terrible battles.
If depression is a current theme in your
life, a darkness that keeps returning; then
you may disbelieve that you have the
strength and gifts to conquer it.
Honor your Fabulousity by trusting that
this path is your training to master the art
of joyful living, to polish your powerful gifts
and skills and to train you as a healer and
scout to guide others in their own journey to
overcome the darkness.
www.dreamalchemist.com 58
8 There's Magic
in the Air The Silver Lining 7
You are a spirit of joy that came to earth to spread joy, love and gratitude.
Trust your desire to do the things that make you happy. This is not selfish. Is your
path to service!
Your Fabulousity thrives in sharing what makes you happy: dancing, painting,
singing, communing with nature, telling stories, creating music, creating arts & crafts,
sewing, making dolls, communing with creatures, and so on. The happier you are the
more you spread happiness throughout the world!
You may doubt that your gifts, passions and talents are that important. Sure, you
inspire others. But that's not real work, is it? It’s not as important as “saving lives.” It
doesn’t change lives, as teaching skills does, right? Wrong! Remember that inspiration
means letting Spirit in. That is the very Essence of human existence and evolution!
You may be struggling between an overwhelming desire to share your joy and to
help others see the beauty and miracles in this world on one hand; and on the other
hand the fact that you are clueless as to HOW to do this and still make a living.
Honor your Fabulousity by listening to your heart. Your Soul knows what it came
here to do and will tell you if you listen. Only after you are crystal clear on the BIG
vision and delight of your Soul’s purpose, go ahead and engage your Sacred Masculine
at the Service of your Soul, your Sacred Feminine. Once your Shiva is working WITH
instead of AGAINST your creativity and joy, you will find your way.

multiple psychic abilities.
In her words:

Rev. Misa Hopkins
Cynthia Segal
The Goddess of the Air & Sky
So many of us go through life
on automatic pilot never
realizing that we have the
power at our fingertips to
make better decisions and live
a fuller, more complete life.
Imagine what you could
accomplish by tapping into
powerful intuition to help you
better understand where you
have been and what direction
to take next!
“I remember having a conversation
with God, I call him The Boss.
I asked, Why me? I am a woman of
science, living in a black and white
world. I think you meant to give these
skills to my neighbor, she is into all
this Woo, Woo stuff, I'm just a
computer geek. I think you missed by
just one house.
I received a response to my
question: the sound of the most
loving, gentle laughter inside my head
and the feeling of a deep, profound
hug inside my body. It left me
knowing that the future would be
wonderful.
Feeling totally astonished and excited
at the possibilities, I chose to follow
my new path and teach these tools
to others.”

What people are saying about Cynthia:
“I called Cynthia for a reading four days
before our conference went live, thousands of
attendees were expected. Using her skills, she
"walked" through our event, and "saw" where
the problems would occur. We cleared up issues
four days in advance of them happening; which
avoided costly problems. I have her as my key
Advisor helping facilitate my company's
national expansion. I highly recommend
Cynthia to accelerate any business. “ Shannon
Burnett, CEO Conscious Living Partnership,
Producer EXPO of Heart
“Cynthia's perceptiveness absolutely freaked
me out! She went directly to my heart and
right leg. A few months ago I had heart bypass
surgery and they used a vein from my right
leg.” Dr. Lederman, Florida
“We don’t have equipment yet to measure
the energy coming out of her hands…” Dr.
Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut, Founder,
the Institute of Noetic Sciences

I went from Caterpillar Self to Butterfly Woman.
That’s why I can help you in your metamorphosis!
I’ve done it so often it’s become a way of life.
Here’s my last journey: I went from homeless
to the CEO of my own corporation! The
I Ching has a number that means both
Emergency and Emergence. Do not confuse
where you are at with who you are. No
matter your conditions now, you can
EMERGE because the Butterfly You is growing within you right now.
