<p><br>
Because of Quinn’s unschooled perspective and extensive personal background, his conference speaking exposure, our outreach at the @gardenofeden, and his travels, the demand for Quinn’s knowledge on all the important things in life was beginning to expand. Lots of people were seeking his advice, which he had been gave freely to anyone who asked.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/61943_1512477545878_3201806_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&oh=b567e438758a4175f9ce148b8fa0d780&oe=5D31F34C" width="720" height="480"/></p>
<p><br>
By witnessing Quinn’s life, the way he carried himself and the potent realities he had lived, many found that what he had to share was truly profound and made them also question their own existence. A few would light up when they got a glimpse of what he shared, some could feel it but couldn’t really understand what it was about, while others were resistant because it rocked their world too greatly at the core. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/184640_1723168493020_8362979_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&oh=5d475f20f81dbc46ecdc9a0a88506803&oe=5D4A9215" width="480" height="720"/></p>
<p><br>
Quinn was a reader of energetics. He could easily see where people were in their physical and emotional state of being, and no matter where that was, he believed there was possibility for change. He believed that everyone, no matter where their life path had already taken them, deserved a chance to start again and live a more healthful, empowered existence. Moment after moment, day after day, he shared possibility by his example and his words of wisdom. He spent all of his days and all of his energy in service to others, and though most often people could listen, they couldn’t always hear. More often than not people held on to most of their old preconceived ideas, disallowing entry of the new.<br>
<br>
It became very apparent that people were only ready for change when they were ready. And even when asking for advice, they weren't capable of integrating the change they desired. It was also very frequently the case that when people got his input for free, they didn’t always take it seriously, and instead considered his advice as just an opinion. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/181611_1723167372992_7197156_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&oh=15432a2548958fc923ca82b3902072ea&oe=5D49D606" width="720" height="480"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>On the contrary, Quinn found that when he was invited to and sharing at speaking engagements, those who invested their money in attending were much more likely to tune in to what he had to share, and made changes in their lives for the better. Getting their money’s worth seemed to be an important catalyst. When putting something personal on the line, people tended to see greater value. An equal energetic exchange in some form did appear to amplify the probabilities of fluid giving and receiving.</p>
<p><br>
So Quinn decided to set up a website and offer his services for a valuable contribution. He wanted to be sure he was investing his time and energy into those who really cared about what he had to offer. He created a website, offering to stay with people for several days to a week or two for an immersion experience. Quinn was ready for expansion himself, and I could feel his longing to be out in the world making a more tangible impact.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/62275_1512607469126_8044169_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&oh=76a0c177a809d588743234124c6e3e19&oe=5D41A7EC" width="720" height="480"/></p>
<p><br>
I had many feelings about this trajectory. On one hand, I knew many people could benefit immensely from what Quinn had to share, and I knew for myself that this was part of his calling. His awareness was way too grand to be forever invested so deeply in just spending almost all of his time with me. Since I had already received some of the greatest awarenesses of my life with and through him, I knew how much better the world could be if people had the opportunity to experience even a glimpse of what touched me so deeply.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/551309_10200449193986381_1922532952_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&oh=697caf3b6d2f401319100afd2964c89e&oe=5D2A27ED" width="960" height="720"/><br>
<br>
On the other hand, he would be away from me, which separation I would not relish! He didn’t want me to go with him as he said his attention to me would be a distraction to his focused attention with his client. I knew this meant more time for me alone, which I actually enjoyed, but also so much time without his presence. I could also feel inside the dichotomy of possibility that others would fall in love with him, and perhaps even he with them. I knew that if anything were possible, I had to face the grand possibility that his life would take a tack away from mine. Though I could feel the resistance rise inside, I knew it would never do to hold Quinn back. It would never do to try to squash his light, corral his love, or demand and suck up his attention. So I embraced what felt like the next step in the evolutionary process of life. I breathed!!!!</p>
<p><br>
Up went his website, and soon the requests for his guidance began rolling in.</p>

<p><em>One of Quinn's Famous Quotes paired with my art from his book Full Spectrum Health.</em></p>
<p><br>
<em>This era was a super difficult one for me. Embracing love under the circumstances in which we began was difficult, but compared nothing to letting love go. I truly wanted Quinn to have all he wanted. And I wanted to have what I wanted too. I couldn’t seem to find the balance of how that could all be at the same time. Considering that he wanted to expand, and I wanted things to remain very much the same, I knew I had lots of internal work to do, and I was likely going to get time alone to work it through. I tried shifting my focus from fear to curiosity, wondering what magnificence would happen next, but peace was hard to find when my heart would be roaming so far away from my body.</em><br>
