Juanita Gagiano

I met Juanita in a very transformative time in my life; I was in the valley of my youth, traversing between the peaks of childhood and mountains of manhood. These years were transformative in a “live fast, die young” kind of way, and although I look back with a light heart, I see now that there were people that had influenced me beyond measure.

They say that we all have one thing in common. We all have a mother. There are so many different mothers that a man can have in his lifetime. The one we’re born with, the ones we accept as our own, the ones that accept us as their own, and the ones we initiate into motherhood. Juanita has been a mother to me for many years and has shaped my understanding of what it means to love with a full heart and to have a kindness and gentleness that only comes through true strength.

I once read that I should write something worth reading or do something worth writing about. Well, I can tell you this, there aren’t many people who can say that they’ve done both; Juanita is one of those special people that can change your life with a simple smile or a kind word. She has a heart that heals and a presence that’s unparalleled. Without her influence, my life would not be the same, and for that, I say, thank you, Juanita.

A Beacon Of Transformation

In my earlier days of this journey
It became less and less strange
Certain things are not permanent and the most constant of all, is change.
There often comes a time for the frequent traveler to prove his or her worth.
A time where moving on is more than just the only option, it’s heaven sent and the best option on Earth

A true walk into manifestations
Trusting that the unseen will provide
The physical fruits of honesty and no hesitation
The kind of blessings that even the road and eases the ride

It’s a long walk to freedom and daunting at the best of times
So often when the traveler calls for support, he calls for someone in whose heart he resides

Never failing and always on cue
Without a signal or without a clue
You are always a reminder that anything is possible
Yes. You.

I can not fully express in words the amount of gratitude and joy I hold within to have received such a Beautiful, Empowering and Pure friendship. Juanita’s wisdom and experience in life, mixed in with her self awareness manifested into an authentic and pure version of herself. It’s rare and truly beautiful, inspiring and infectious. Juanita has a special place in my heart; her friendship, guidance and love is reciprocal to an empowering friendship.

She is often found gracefully helping and guiding those around her to realize the same potential within them. Messages to enjoy life purposefully, serve and embrace the gift of life as an authentic version of yourself, as well as to serve Earth and those around you with support, love and care is what is represented and radiated by her. I love the whole Gagiano family and wish them prosperity in life.

Don’t sweat the small things and enjoy everyday as you are superblessed to be here…. This is how I feel when thinking of you/Juanita and it has taught me so much. You have shown not only me but everyone in your path how beautiful life can be and we need to celebrate that with the people we love… I thank you Juanita for being such a bright light in my life and so softly nurturing me to just be who I am and to truly understand how superblessed I am to be here and have what I do.

I met Juanita on the wild side, literally. Our paths crossed for the first time a few years ago in Coffee Bay. She had just started her journey into a new chapter of life. So did I. She is one of the reasons why I felt confident to make the big move to leave my mother country to live in this beautiful part of the world. She taught me to believe in my dreams and in myself. She is my sister and she is a mother figure for me, an anchor point in my life.

She is my inspiration to truly follow my own truth, to enjoy life, to love unconditionally and to focus on what is really important.

I love you! Thanks for being you!!!

No words can describe the gratitude and love I have for Juanita. She is a timeless soul and inspirational muse, that holds space for others in a way that allows you to be fully at ease with your own spirit. Her divine feminine flow leaves sparks of light and warmth wherever she goes. Thank you Juanita for being you.

I just want to say thank you for you, you have been an amazing rock and shoulder to emotion on a big sister I never had. I count on you to put me in my place as you feel fit and I know that you are on my side no matter how “naughty” I get. Love you my Sister, shine your light on, this world needs you.

JUST DO IT!!! Juanita’s sparkle ignites the sparkle in your soul you forgot even existed!! She’s a jewel; encouraging one to be the best version of oneself; to be able to attract the light you deserve and you have to do it for YOU!! I will always be grateful for being gently motivated by her to discover a gift I was convinced one only gets born with and can’t be taught.

Juanita makes me think of Sunshine. She has a warmth that radiates from her smile, her waves of golden hair, through to her deeply caring nature. People she embraces in her glow feel heard, understood and nurtured.  All she wants for them is to grow, be happy and abundantly blessed … more than that, a very special kind of superblessed.
