Yoli Full of Gratitude

Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog where I share a story about my friend Yoli full of gratitude.

It’s 5 pm on Wednesday. The sun is outside of my window. Shining its rays. I daze off as I’m eating my dinner of mashed potato with chicken. All of a sudden Yoli appears in my mind's eye. I felt sadness but also gratitude.

Back in 2020, Yoli and I were classmates. We met during an oracle training. Separated by a laptop and an iPad we embarked on this training together. We learned about the moon, intuition, and healing.

At the time, Yoli was ill but as the years progressed her illness got worse. A year later, in 2021, on a summer day, Yoli sends me a message on Facebook. Asking if I could help her with shadow work. That she felt I could help her. Of course, I created a healing plan for her that would guide her to dive deeper into her spirituality.

For 3 months, Yoli and I met behind the Zoom screen since she lived in California and I in New York City. The screen kept us apart psychically but the beautiful work, struggles, realizations, and healing tears she experienced during our work together made us feel close in proximity. I remember speaking to her about forgiveness (I’m such an old soul). I remember her conversations about allowing things to be. Teaching each other vice versus. Words of wisdom bridging us together. Healing to be better. Healing to love. Healing to forgive.

When Yoli came to mind today, I couldn’t help to be grateful for that teaching experience. Specifically, I am grateful to have been able to work with Yoli during the last 3 months of her life. She crossed over towards the end of 2021 - possibly a month after our last meeting. I called her but she was going through a big transitional phase, which I understood.

Today She appears in my heart as a reminder of my great work. She reminds me to be present. Within that presence to be gratitude. She reminds me to take a pause to reflect. So grateful for my dear friend Yoli full of gratitude.

In loving memory of Yoli M.
