THANK YOU FROM MARLENE
To all of our followers and supporters to every single person who has walked into our shops, followed our social pages, browsed our online shop, or taken a class with us thank you for so many years of trust and allowing us to be part of your spiritual journey. We are so grateful to walk this path with you. Because of all of you, House of Intuition has been our dream come true.
Marc Gerald, thank you for seeing a vision for a book we did not see for ourselves, and for your persistence in helping us see it, too. Your guidance and love throughout the process have been invaluable. You are more than our agent; you are a friend for life!
Nikki Van Noy, you are a true gift from our spirits! Throughout this project you calmed our nerves and made us laugh, while guiding us down memory lane. It has been such a pleasure to work with you.
Donna Loffredo, thank you for seeing our vision and believing in us, for being so gentle and guiding us with your expertise. You were the perfect fit for us. And to the entire team at Penguin Random House: we are so blessed to have been able to work with such a kind team of amazing professionals. Your encouragement gave us the strength and confidence we needed to deliver a book we are so proud of.
Valentina Zapata, thank you for your ten-plus years of support and for always being willing to help us create a magical space through your gift of artistry. Every stroke of your paint brush has made each of our shops and the pages of our book feel as if they were blessed by Heaven above. Love you, Val.
To the HOI team past, present, and future: thanks to each one of you for making our dreams come true, and for your support and belief in our mission. We are forever grateful. A special thank you to Carol, Ryan, Chad, and Jaakko for your testimonials.
Kathy, thank you for taking me to my first tarot card reading and for showing me that its okay to explore and experience things for myself before placing judgement on a spiritual practice. You were the beginning of my spiritual awakening and I love you for showing me a world I did not know existed.
Marcy, thank you for taking this journey with me, for being my soul sister in this lifetime and beyond, and for giving me the ability to love unconditionally. I am so proud to have my big sister by my side and for all of your hard work. I love you more than I can ever express on a human level.
Daddy, you have given me the gift of dreaming big and believing that anything is possible. Your love has carried my entrepreneurship to levels I never knew were possible. You are the King in my life. Thank you for loving me the way you do and being the best father I could ever ask for. I love you and will always be a daddys girl.
Momma, thank you for showing me how to be a strong woman and the meaning of a good work ethic. Im so grateful for the many hours youve spent filling our incense bags and tins and oil bottles, and helping us however else weve needed. I know you are always there and willing to give a hand. I love you, my Queen.
Auntie Ruthie, thank you for your many visits and the blessings you bestow upon me daily. Your spirit has been my saving grace in so many ways. I miss your physical being and contagious laugh, but I know your spirit body will always be with me. I love you, my guardian angel.
Eric, thank you, son, for always being so understanding and supportive of my dreams. You give me the motivation to always be a better version of myself. For all the days and long nights when I worked endlessly, your understanding and love have never wavered. I love you, baby boy!
Alex, thank you for being my rock, for always standing by my side and allowing me to spread my wings in the world in a way I never knew was possible. You are my best friend, my partner, and the love of my life. I thank God every day for you, my little lucky charm! I love you from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. Forever and ever!
THANK YOU FROM ALEX
Writing this book was much harder than I could have ever have imagined because I am a very private person. On the flip side, it was also very rewarding to be able to talk about my life journey and the many experiences that have brought me to where I am today. None of this would have been possible without some very special people who have crossed my path. First and foremost, Id like to thank God and all my spirit guides for always having my back.
Marc, thank you for stalking us (lol) and not taking no for an answer. You believed in our mission and your support and encouragement really helped the process. If it wasnt for your relentless perseverance, we would not be writing this book.
Nikki, I cant thank you enough for your openness and ability to capture our personalities during our storytelling times. You really made this process so much fun and truly therapeutic. You are the perfect fit for us and I look forward to working with you again.
Donna, thank you for your guidance while always giving us the freedom to express ourselves freely. You have really made this process such a pleasure and not as intimidating.
To everyone we worked with at Penguin Random House, I could not be more thankful and happy for having you all be a part of this journey. Im truly grateful and I feel we made the best choice for such an important milestone in our journey.
Valentina, oh my little Valentina, thank you for always being there for us and sharing your amazing talents. Its been such a pleasure having you on this journey with us on both a professional and personal level. Youre an amazing artist and an even better human. I look forward to many more years of collaborations with you.
Tia Nena, you were ripped from my life way too soon, however I know that you have always been up in heaven watching over me as you did when you were here. Thank you for the messages and for always ensuring that I feel I have a guardian angel that is always with me, protecting and guiding me. Until we meet again, I love you dearly!
Mami, thank you for always being there for me and our family. You are one of the strongest women I have ever met. Thank you for teaching me and giving me a spiritual foundation and allowing me to explore and find my way without judgement. Im also thankful for your willingness to always help us in the potion room you are the best candle cleaner ever! I love you endlessly, Mami!
