Together, we are perfect in every way!

A few details to catch everyone up to speed... I, Brook, met Michael in December 2019 while working for the chiropractor he sees. We had very little interaction during his appointments. He seemed very quiet and reserved but over time started to talk more. I found out later on that he was just letting the doctor concentrate...what a great guy! :) Fast forward to 2021 when I reluctantly purchased my first crypto currency token, SHIBA INU, because a dear friend wouldn't shut up about it while on my treatment table one day. I chalked up the $100 loss in my mind moments after the purchase but God had different plans! ☺️ You see, 3 months after that initial purchase, I was walking through the grocery store and had a very intense intuitive feeling come over me that said, “Buy more SHIBA!” I must add, I had not interacted with the crypto exchange since the original purchase, nor did I have any knowledge of the crypto/blockchain world but I've learned to listen from past experiences. The very next morning, I woke up to SHIB (short name for SHIBA INU) 6X-ing in price! 😯 It was from that day forward that I sought to truly understand the new financial world that is emerging. Sidebar: Prior to working with the greatest creation of all time, the human body, I was in the financial accounting world for 12 years. Michael, with his great understanding of economics and current financial markets, would come to his weekly appointments sharing with myself and Dr. Roberts (his chiropractor) the latest trends and buying/selling patterns. He is a chart reader. I am not. I like the fundamentals. So we’d “battle”….hahaha. Just kidding. 😉 We taught each other things week after week and built up a fun friendship while he was in the office. I always thought he was an attractive guy. I mean, c’mon…look at him! 🥰 But honestly, I didn’t think anything more than that until about mid-2022 when the time between visits became extremely difficult. Before, 7 days flew by like nothing. Then, all of a sudden, time came to a screeching halt. One particular interaction at the office, Michael came in and spoke about some crypto YouTube video and recommended that Dr. Roberts and I watch it. Now…I have my own YouTube channel and I'm not dumb. LOL! I know how to search up video titles and find creator channels based on just knowing what the video is about. But I couldn't go a whole another week without interacting with him so I sent him a text message asking him to send me the video directly. 🤩 He did! ☺️ And we would communicate via text every few days...but only about crypto related stuff because I couldn't let him know I was crushing on him real hard. Gotta play it a little coy-ish, right? 😉 A month later I was speaking at a conference on Blockchain 101. I invited him and he came. 🫢 I gave my talk (not letting my nerves show when I saw him sit down) and purposely had to meet up with him afterwards because I had a product from the office that he requested and if he didn’t get it right then and there he was going to die! 😂😂😂 Not really! But us girls do some silly things when those attraction molecules are running. 😉 This was also the first time I hugged him. 😊🎊😊 …I melted! Then BAM! He sends me a video a couple weeks after where the YouTuber is talking about NFTs and how relevant they still are.

Now enters the 2nd dog God used to bring us together…Dogami. 🐶 Dogami is an NFT game. Think Tamagotchi’s but for the modern world. We arranged a meet up for me to solely help him with the purchase of his first NFT, a Dogami dog. While working through the layers of blockchain (not sure what I’m talking about, find me at the wedding and I’ll break it down) we chatted about our families and childhood upbringing. After the transaction was processed, I let him experience Insane Mode in my Tesla Model X, and he left with very specific instructions to contact me when the dog hit his wallet. It’s not instantaneous but doesn’t take more then a few hours. 24 hours went by…no word from Michael! Finally, by hour 36 (who’s counting, lol), I reached out to him to inquire. He shared screenshots with me that the wallet was empty. 😳 I’m in full panic mode. Something wasn’t right. Meanwhile, Michael’s cracking jokes and sending Sam Bankman-Fried memes, saying FTX stole it. This was right in the middle of that debacle. We arranged a time to meet up so I can troubleshoot what went wrong. I was scheduled to attend my niece’s birthday party that afternoon and had an hour before my daughter was to be dropped off. As I turned my vehicle into the Forum parking lot to meet Michael at Panera Bread another huge intuitive wave hit me again that said, “Tell him how you feel!” Immediately, I went into shock but knew from far too many experiences thus far that I had to do it. I must say, I’ve never in my life been upfront with my feelings towards someone. I typically act sheepishly shy when I like a person and unapologetically confident if I don’t. It’s bitten me in the behind so much because the ones I liked never knew and the ones I had no interest in would fall hard. I’ve grown a lot over the years and was determined to “shoot my shot” especially since I was being so clearly directed to. While solving the Dogami issue, we continued to chat and learn more about one another but all I could really focus on was trying to figure out how to weave in the “hey, I think you’re pretty rad and cute and I’m falling for you” statement without making a total ass of myself. I honestly to this day don’t even know exactly what I said to him that day. I was floating above myself watching and listening to the words coming out of my mouth as the observer not the speaker. It was so bizarre! What I do remember so vividly is the way his face lit up while I observed what I was saying. He had the biggest joyous smile on his face. So much light coming out of his body. He was on Cloud 9 as he said, he feels the exact same way! 😍 He walked me to my car that day and gave me the biggest hug I’ve ever felt. The energy was palpable. I was a changed person that day. And so was he. Those 2 virtual dogs brought us together as a part of God’s perfect plan! Never underestimate the power in the mundane aspects of life. You never know what they may bring. Thank you for being part of our story. You are joining us on our special day because YOU are a piece of us and who we are today. Love you dearly! 💙🤍💙
