Thank You for this moment

In which I connect with You and Your Infinite Power.

As I read this, my energy—which is really Your energy—

Attains a higher vibration that fills my body, mind and emotions.

I am filled with Your energy, O God, and it is Divine.

I feel Your energy building within me.

Strong and pure, it is unstoppable.

Limitless, Your love builds and builds within me.

Stronger and stronger, everything it touches is transformed.

All illness, all fatigue is washed away, as in a Holy storm.

I am new and renewed, my body humming

With the joyful imprint of Your touch.

My increased vibration imparts amazing power to my intentions.

The power of my mind is multiplied exponentially

By all who read and speak this prayer.

As my energy rises,

So does the energy of humanity’s Collective Consciousness.

Together we speak now as one gigantic and irresistible force

—a force for good—

As we affirm our intention to rise higher.

Together, we are stronger and more powerful

Than any lower energy attractor field can ever be.

United with You, WE are an unstoppable force of joy!

As our spirits rise,

The energy of humankind makes a quantum leap

Into attractor fields

Of love, healing, abundance, joy, wisdom and peace.

This level of energy, which is closer to you,

Has miraculous effects on us and the world.

We are held in Your arms as we make this transition.

We FEEL the increase in positive energy and it feels wonderful.

We are soothed and comforted.

Elated and filled with new life,

We make choices aligned with Your love.

And as I am drawn

To thoughts and activities

That strengthen my Divine Connection with You,

My life is energized with new, exciting purpose.

I wake each day in joy and authentic dedication.

I am safe in progressing to a more joyful level

Where I know everything is possible in You, O God.

I affirm that Jesus said:

“Ask and Ye Shall Receive; Knock and the Door Shall Open.”

All doors to joyful living are now flung open.

I radiate joy through my smile.

My energy is an unstoppable force of good, for You are my Source.

I vibrate at the level of love and Divine Power.

My mind is clear.

I rise each day full of joy, energy and gratitude.

I know how to live today and every day in greatest glory to You.

Thank you, God, for this gift that feels so wonderful.

I love my life, and I have abundant energy to live it.

And so it is.
Amen.

I wanted to spend a couple of hours thanking everyone and providing detailed lists of bands, buds, promoters, venues and mechanics along the road, but it is taking a very long time and I will have to complete my thanks in chapters over a few days. Names Divine has A LOT of pent up gratitude.

Thanks firstly to ourselves, the brave, Names Divine, thank you for coming on tour! Names Divine as Lukas Wolever, Ike Floor, Kalina Malyszko, Elijah Forrest, Lara Bourbon, Kerry Morrissey, (thanks!) and myself.

Thanks to our 1982 VW Vanagon for taking us 15,000 miles around the country (24 MPG!!!) and giving us the opportunity to meet so many kind and helpful mechanics and new friends.

Thanks to everyone who helped fix her, push her, drive her, and make her feel good, she, the van, who has been named Ke$ha after Ke$ha herself. She is back in Chicago collecting parking tickets and running errands around the city once again.

Auto-Thanks:

Chicago, IL – Justin Randel, replaced master and slave cylinders so that the shifter would become unstuck and shift into gear and then we were off!

Oberlin, Pittsburgh, Boston…

Montgomery, New York – Riff n’ Sons. They gave us a great deal and a quick fix for our dilapidated spark plug wires. They wrapped them up in electrical tape so our van would stop loosing power and coming to a hault while driving. We ordered spark plug wires to VA and had them replaced in

Greensboro, NC. What were these guys’ names? Fuck! They replaced the spark plug wires and spark plugs. This made the van a much smoother, faster, and powerful ride.

Jacksonville, FL, Omega Pro Auto Repair (904) 388-0388 – oil change and removal of the dreadful squeaky sound that happens somewhere underneath when shifting into gear. Fast, funny, competent and inexpensive. Thanks!

TN, I think – and forgetting the name of the shop at the moment, but they inspected a clunking sound coming from the back of the van, let us all take a ride up on the lift, and diagnosed for free. Bad right rear axle assembly that needed to be replaced ASAP, but would make it another 250 miles in traffic inching it’s way to…

Murfreesboro, TN – where a great guy came over to a house where we were staying for 3 days while we waited for the part. He replaced the right rear axle assembly with the help of a pint of whiskey and a 2×4 along with other common tools. This fix took us all the way to LA.

Los Angeles, CA, Matthew, thanks! He screwed our right rear axle assembly back on after it came unscrewed upon an off ramp on our way to Venice Beach. Never made it to Venice Beach. He also made sure everything else would be safe enough to get us up to the Bay for our next show. I’d call him for repairs or a good time in East LA where we broke down and got to hang out with new and old friends for a few days. I bet his contact info will reveal itself again eventually.

Denver, CO, founders of My Social Garage, http://mysocialgarage.com/, thanks! They replaced our right rear axle assembly again, I can’t remember why but it was important and they gave us a good deal. They couldn’t unstick the left rear axle assembly which also started clunking and needed replacing but they sent us on our way with an upgraded right rear axle on the car and a left rear axle in a box for future repair.

Ogalala, NE, where the left rear axle assembly shattered on the on ramp. We pushed it back down into a gas station and all of these nice people in the bars at the bottom of the hill were so helpful and kind and helped us find a really wonderful auto enthusiast who fixed our left rear axle for free, late at night. His trick to getting old rusty stubborn parts off… TORCH EM! And spray with anti-freeze after enough passing seconds. Not only was he able to get the left rear axle off, he was also able to monster together part of the old axle with the new one, which wasn’t the right one for our van. Bad Auto Zone! And we were off to

Somewhere in NE, where we shredded a tire and AAA helped us figure out how to put the spare on.

And Another 50 miles after that we popped the spare in the middle of the night on our way to a tire shop. We pulled into someone’s yard in a trailer park to get some shut eye til morning because we couldn’t move another inch without a tire and the residents of that mobile home were so understanding and they gave us a ride into town to get a new tire and taught us how to change it. THANKS!

Lincoln, NE, is where we made a quick stop to get our brakes checked and oil changed but we had a wheel cylinder replaced instead. I can’t believe he found the part within hours. This stopped the brake fluid leak and made the brakes work again. Thanks NNN Auto Service. This place was so fast and affordable and had the greatest watch dog named Amy but I can’t find the place’s phone number now though I recommend them highly.

10 miles down the road to…

Lincoln, NE, where we stalled out on the highway and couldn’t get started again. With the help of Lincoln’s volunteer-run Roadside Assistance, we were able to get to a fast food hot-spot to charge up smart phones and look for affordable towing service to get us back to NNN auto, where our fuel relay was replaced in less than 48 hours. It was rusted out and had a spider web growing on it.

At some point the ventilation system stopped working, which caused the van to overheat several times during the last 50 miles home, but we got here and it’s been cool and cold and with highs in the low 60s, keeping her moving on the city streets.

So thanks so far. More soon.
