HipGnosis is a Fucking JOY.

Seriously.

You have no idea.

@simonethinks at Freckled Brilliance is a fucking healing genius in a gorgeous-person package with one of those magical voices that can take you from a bubblyhappy point to the OMG-about-to-crash point with seemingly no segue between the two. I was spellbound without losing any control over myself; able to give over the wheel without needing to cringe and reflexively slam the brakes. It was the bar-none best hypnosis experience I'd ever had. It was definitely about cool semi-secret knowledge.

But for me, the crux of the issue was a struggle I'd had for decades and only intermittently conquered... and then I would fall back into the horribleness of the mental trap, building it to an even worse point. After Simone, suddenly it all became clear and the resistance fell away as I understood the core of the problem. My entire framework dissolved and I hit the beautiful shining heart of it. Stars and silver and... well, you really just have to experience it to believe it. I have never, ever, EVER in my life had a longstanding issue dissolved and reframed with so little effort and drama on my part.

Really, life is magic. Simone didn't exist in my life until I found Havi, and I didn't find Havi until the ugly drama of a few years ago. Life has a way of turning horridness into this shining beacon of joy.

I don't know why I deserved this, but I'm so grateful I did.
