I first met Noi and her late husband about 10 years ago when he was quite vibrant and active. He was one of my former clients. We lost contact for a long time until this year when the Universe brought him back into my life. This time he was ill and bedridden. Noi was a wonderful, special and extraordinary wife to John Bullock throughout all their seasons and weathers of life.
She loved her late husband dearly and did everything possible to take good care of him. John and I became friends towards the end. Somehow our friendship inspired him so much that he was frequently talking to Noi about me til his final hours. One of his last wishes was for me to attend his funeral with Noi and that I did.
I never knew really got a chance to know Noi until a few months ago. After John passed away, Noi’s life was catapulted into a new reality that she never had to deal with and she was lost in whirlwind of confusion, chaos and uncertainty. She reached out to me about what was going on. She had no friends or family support here in the USA. My heart really melted with great compassion for her so I decided to help her.
Through my help, she was able to navigate through all the complexities of her life with much grace and dignity. After helping her through the different seasons of life, I got to know Noi very well and we have become great friends and refer to each other more like siblings. She considers me more like a family member and like a brother. I had a choice to help her or not but listened to that Divine prompting within to help her and now I have a new special friend and sister. When I first met Noi, she was distraught and going through a meltdown. Through my gentle support along with others, she transitioned from feeling a great sense of hopelessness, to mourning, to experience joy and finally to experiencing bliss and peace. She will be returning to Thailand next week but has been deeply touched by all the love and support she received from me, my family, Lance Lujan, Cy, Max and most recently from John, her new beau.

Today she sent me a private message which she approved for me to share to you. “When I return to Thailand, please take care of yourself. We are not real family but I love you same as my brother. I love you brother!” Tell Uma I love her too!

Noi gave me a Thai nickname Kruba Srivi Chai. I looked him up and he was a famous Buddhist Monk who did a lot of good especially in Chiang Mai, Thailand where Noi is from. He was the most revered monk of the Lanna Kingdom. Noi gave me that name because she said like Kruba, I have done a lot of good in my life and continue to do so. Kruba was known for his kind, pious and compassionate nature. He was a spiritual leader and is known as one of the great Saints of Thailand.

True spirituality is not about how many followers one has, how famous one is, how many sold out talks we have, about what high ranking titles we have ( “guru,” spiritual master, teacher, lama, rinpoche, etc.) or how many books we have sold. It means very little if we have not discovered the Divine Love and allow it to fill our being until we overflow with love, compassion, kindness and mercy to all that we meet.

Through this love, compassion and kindness, I now have a new Thai sister and friend for life.

Love,

Blake
