I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Heinz Waelchli, the host of The Plentiful Show, and as he said...."this is not your average beach story." Apologies in advance that I wanted to be sure to show the shells to the camera, so I sat way too close. However, his insightful questions and enthusiasm for the information was such a joyful experience, and I hope you discover a few tidbits that might surprise you 😃

This is a picture of a Moon Snail in its shell. Notice that the animal inflates its body by absorbing water. It is so out of proportion that it can't retreat into its shell until it expels all that water. Let's see what wisdom it has to share. https://images.app.goo.gl/fBTSJtjiE9gQxfBs7
We have an expression "Misery loves company." That means we literally socialize around misery. We don't say love loves company, or joy loves company. We acquire attention through misery. When people receive compassion or comfort from their distress, they feel love. The problem is in order to stand out to gain the attention, the misery has to be worse than others. Have you ever heard someone say, "If you think that's bad, wait until you hear what happened to me." That is a Moon Snail statement,. If everyone broke their arm, this person would have to break both legs. The level of distress has to be blown out of proportion so that it is more than everyone else's. They are invested in making mountains out of molehills. They need the "mountain" in order to be noticed. I once had a friend tell me that to get me to spend time with her on the phone, she had to be wounded in some way. To my horror, she was right. Unwittingly, I had prioritized who most needed my attention by their level of physical illness or disasters.
Now for the wisdom of Moon Snail.
As I was teaching about this during a seminar, a student picked up the Moon Snail and said, "It's all your fault!" But Moon Snail doesn't judge what we inflate. If we equate attention with love, that is not a problem. It is the method we choose to achieve the attention. You could get attention through growing the light. If everyone gets a 90 on a test, get a 95. I decided to try an experiment with my friends. I began telling them about the amazing things that happened to others. As they processed the fact that I was paying attention to the great things in peoples' lives, I found there were more examples to share. Amazing things also occurred in my own life. But the real sign of success with this experiment was when I actually heard one friend say, "If you think that is great, wait until you hear this!" Who would like to apply Moon Snail wisdom and try this Growing The Light experiment? The world could use more light right now.

I would like to contribute a little more joy to the world through my work with seashell partners. First, let me speak about clams. Many people express their joy with the comment, ' I'm as happy as a clam." I am all for increasing joy in the world, but what does that even mean? How are clams happy? You might have more success if you realize that half of that expression is missing. The original comment was "Happy as a clam at high tide." Clams are hunted during low tide when they are exposed. At high tide, clams are safe. With the protection of all that water covering them during high tide, you can imagine that would produce conditions to create one happy clam 🙂 Just saying., the next time we want to express our joy, lets do it in a way that reflects the full potential for that joy. We can be happy as a clam at high tide 🙂

I used to think of Ocean Oracle as a tool to decode the wisdom in the seashell kingdom. But that sounds like it was a secret. The shells are eager to assist us in navigating through life; all we need is a way to translate their messages. Ocean Oracle is more like a dictionary to help understand the master teachings from the seashell kingdom. With a few pointers, anyone can speak shell :-) Check out the free classes at https://oceanoracle.com/

Hi everyone, Thanks to my marketing firm, I was on a billboard in Time Square today! That's a sentence I never expected to say :-) Although the crowd could see everything clearly, the video taken there was at an angle with a flagpole interfering so you may not be able to see the details. To remedy this, I am including a behind-the-scenes video for you to see the complete billboard. I am grateful to Authors Perspective Press for their passionate support making this opportunity to share the wisdom from the seashell kingdom possible. What do you think? Please feel free to comment or share.

Ocean Oracle: What Seashells Reveal About Our True Nature
About the book:
Everyone remembers spending a day at the beach as a child collecting seashells, but what if those seashells were more than just pretty objects? What if those shells could actually tell you something about your hidden thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes? Ocean Oracle: What Seashells Reveal about Our True Nature is the bridge to learning this secret language. Simply put, seashells function as tools that enable us to speak with our subconscious, allowing the inner self to communicate the information it considers most valuable for our growth. By listening to the shells with the guidance of Ocean Oracle, you can tap into your own innate wisdom and joy.
Included with the book are:
• 200 shell cards in full color
• 4 full color plates, 8.25 x 16.25" with all shell photos in full color
Enjoy exploring the language of shells by yourself or with a group of friends.
With a name like Shelley, it seems that destiny had afforded me the opportunity of discovering my passion, my life purpose--and my career path--at an early age. Ever since I can remember, I have had a fascination with seashells and the animals that created them. As my interest in metaphysics grew, so, too, had my connection to the shells, with my becoming a shell reader more than 25 years ago.
As the “shell with a voice,” and after witnessing the transformational power of the visionary messages of the shells and the invaluable lessons they impart, it is my desire to share their profound wisdom. By serving as their ambassador, I had learned to translate the language of the shells, and was invited to write a column entitled “Seashell Divination” for a metaphysical magazine. I later authored Ocean Oracle (a kit that includes a book and an oracle card deck), which was featured in a two-page spread for the One Spirit Book Club and in an eight-page article for a French magazine. Since then, I have been granted media interviews, and the work has been translated into several languages. I have also written Ocean Wisdom, a text which focuses on seashells as energy tools and includes a guided rebirthing meditation CD. More recently, I have recorded a stand-alone guided ascension meditation CD. I continue to conduct private readings and appear at psychic fairs and expos on a regular basis.
My scientific training along with my intuitive insights into the seashell kingdom have permitted me to offer educational workshops internationally. I designed the Ocean Speake online certification program, so that others may be introduced to the teachings of the seashell kingdom as well.
