“true masculinity is the knowledge and ability to know when to raise the sword, when to cut with it, and when to sheath it. True masculinity also knows when to hold the shield instead of the sword when confronted by a foe. Raise the sword and say stop, don’t hit that child again. Don’t come across the line I draw in the sand, on the carpet, on my body, or in my soul. Do not call me names. Do not push me beyond my limits. Cease.”

“The archetypal masculine, whether found in men or women, knows when to swing a sword, raise a shield, protect, say no. They carry both sword and shield with them wherever they go and grieve over any wound they inflict and mourn any loss they suffer. The true masculine is the true warrior who grieves the fact that swords and shields are a necessary part of life.”

I guess my soul is a man. Whatever I am, I am proud to have learned courage.

Love you all so much!

At my darkest hour a few months ago, I had to ask myself if I wanted to let everyone’s comments affect my self esteem. Beauty was inside, not just outside. Yes, my hair was falling out like crazy and my body was puffing up more by the day. I didn’t feel too sexy as I fought for my life. To make things worse, the drugs I HAD to be on ruined my memory, my hair and my looks. I was trying to hard to keep my good spirits up. The only thing that seemed to go up was my weight. Now, I am finally getting better after years of fighting. I still have a long way to go, but I am actually thankful this happened to me and not some other woman. I always recover fast (self esteem wise) and I’m tough. I got to see who my real friends were and who dumped me. Who called after not seeing them for 10 years and who stopped calling, even though they knew I was deathy ill. Some people didn’t believe me and chose to think stupid things. I learned I couldn’t change what people thought. I could only change how I reacted to it.

Now I can just laugh when people say I’m fat and not let it affect my self esteem. I know everyone has their type and I am still beautiful even at a size 12 with MUCH less hair. I still get asked to sing and act and yes, even model! That shows me my personality IS good enough without wearing a 4! Yes, I will get back down to a size 8 again, which is perfect for me at 6 feet…but in the mean time, I think it is super important to love the skin I’m in RIGHT NOW!  Learn to love your body and your life and your outlook will change…no one else’s opinion matters.

Love to you all!

"We are so into our own lives that we forget how blessed we are"

I have had the pleasure of working a few really cool showbiz jobs the last few weeks. My run around car was loaded to the hilt with costumes and boxes.  It was raining today and I stopped to get some videos on my way home. I noticed a homeless old man shivering under the 7-11. I had some extra cash in my wallet from working. I said, in my broken Italian/Spanish, “I will go to the car and get some money for you in a minute” He understood and started talking a mile a minute in Spanish. As I got my videos, I went to my car and got 5 bucks to give to him. In LA, you never know if a homeless person is really homeless, but this guy wasn’t high or drunk and he looked so cold and sad. As I gave him the $5 I said in English, “Sorry it’s not more, but it might help with food.” He didn’t understand but he grabbed me close for a hug and started to cry. I mean really cry. I hugged him back, telling him I knew how it felt to be homeless and there are people in the world like me who love him. When he called me “Madonna Maria” I started to cry too… knowing he was saying something to the effect of “you are like the mother of Jesus”. You never know what a little help can do. You never know what a simple smile, or a few bucks can do for someone. We are so into our own lives that we forget how blessed we are, and how we can all reach out in some way and help others.

Whether it’s volunteering in an animal shelter (Btw, since we adopted Cocoa, I will never buy a purebred dog from a breeder again. There are too many little fluffy lovers out there at the pounds and rescue centers who need homes!) or a rest home, we can all do a little more. If we do something every day, even if it’s just recycling our bottles and cans, it all makes a difference for our children and the generations to come. This world is a mess. If we can lighten someone’s load, or brighten someone’s day, we owe it to our world to do so.

I was so in awe of the gratitude of this sweet man today. He responded the same way I would if someone gave me $500,000 dollars! You just never know. So, don’t let an act of kindness pass you by. Give to the world, and the world will give back. And remember my friends, energy doesn’t disappear, it just changes forms. Let’s all try to put our energy into good, positive things. Together, we can help each other make our lives happier and our bodies and minds healthier.

I love you all. Keep me posted on what you want to read about and how I can help you.

All my love,

Malena

to the introduction

I would like to explain how my intuition works. I am not a tarot card reader. I don’t need divination tools to read a person or situation. This is how a general reading works …  a client emails or calls me.  I ask them to send me a photo or a word or a name to start looking into.  My intuition starts bringing up names, events, timelines, and possible outcomes about that person or thing. I’ll ask the client to ask specific questions about the subject they are inquiring about.  If it’s a person, I’ll usually get the physical description in my head and tell them what I see to find out if I am on the right track.

A reading is like a dance between two people…You lead by showing me where you want my intuition to go.  I follow, blindly telling you what I see and hoping I don’t step on your foot! Sometimes I’ll even say, “Tell me if I’m wrong.” I have so much information in my head that I want to be sure the person or thing I am reading is for YOU. I am rarely wrong. In 12 years I’ve been wrong less than 5 times. Then it’s my turn to lead; having you just listen and fill in the blanks where personal information is needed. By the end of the reading, I am always amazed at how far we went into the future, or past. I’m always so thankful for the information given to me by the guides.

Here’s the thing that separates me from the New Age Guru’s out there that are just in it for the $…

I KNOW this knowledge I get in my mind is not mine. It has nothing to do with me. I am simply a radio receiver, letting you hear what your guides/angels/ancestors have to say.  I do not claim to have any super powers. Yes, I talk to dead people. Yes, I can hear answers to your prayers. Yes, I can feel where you hurt. But I know it’s because for some reason I know how to listen. I don’t know why God gave me these skills. Everyone has them, mine are just fine tuned.

So, if you see a “psychic” who says you must pay crazy amounts of money to heal you, or that “Archangel Michael is with you now” when you ask a question they don’t know … run away! I’ve seen so many phonies in the psychic field. I quit reading for the public for about 4 years. It pained me to see people with very little talent but BIG people skills rake in the dough because they could charm the pants off a snake. I’m direct. I’m simple. I’m real. So real some TV programs hired people who would “tell people what they wanted to hear” because I wouldn’t. Well, I sleep well at night knowing I pray and try to do the right thing. Every client is like myself.  I wouldn’t lie to myself. I wouldn’t want a psychic to lie to me! If I don’t know the answer, I will tell you I DON’T KNOW. To receive real spiritual information, to be a channel, you must be selfless. You must know that it isn’t you. You are a tool that the divine is using to connect with this dimension.  The information is the most important thing, getting the information out to help heal and save people. It is an honor for me to be a receiver for heaven to speak. I am deeply humbled when I give a reading and it’s right because I go in blindly. I have no idea if what I am saying will make sense to the client. I just keep praying I’m doing the right thing. When they call me later and are so excited that we were right, that it happened the way we saw it. I just look to heaven and say,

“I’m listening and I will do your will, regardless of how foreign it sounds. Thank you!!”

It is a blessing to serve you, to help you speak to your loved ones who have passed on, to give you advice.

With love and prayer,

Malena
