Peace Sister,
I heard you this past Monday at the Movement at the Othello Event Hall in Atlanta. You were AMAZING!!! Such beautiful sounds!!! Thank you so much!
Please let me know when you will be performing in the Atlanta area again.
I heard your music while streaming on 'Hillside Chapel and Truth Center' service on today Sunday May 24th, 09. It was a blessing to hear your music that sound of the 'harp' is 'angel-like'.
I throuoghly enjoyed the service and wished I was in physically in church. You are an inspiration to our young brother's and sister's.
Keep up the good work and God bless you!!!
How are you guys???? We miss the heck out of you and think of you often. I hear you are going to Japan. That is too wonderful. Please call us at the shop so we can catch up! Love Debbie Triplett and the gang at Triplett Harps

Greetings Sister,
Thank you for including the church in you calendar. I need to make a request of you, could you please remove our Tax ID number from your site asap, this is private information and should not be publised, I think that perhaps it was sent on the psa sent to you, this was a mistake. I thank you again for your support of this work, and I look forward to seeing you on the 24th.
A Love Supreme!
Shalom Sis. Destiny,
I am in Jerusalem listening to your song "I AM". I just wanted you to know that I haven't given up on my vision of having you play here in Israel. I talk about you all the time and so I know that the MOST HIGH is going to make a way. Thank you for being such an INSPIRATION!!! I thank YAH for You!
Love Always,
Migda (the sister from the African Hebrew Israelite community)

Hi, Destiny: We met at the Temescal Studio One opening. You gave me a card. I've recommended you and your harp for a wedding in Santa Cruz. Hope it works out! See you there if it does. Joy
Destiny ~ you may be getting a call from the Bay Area news Group from a woman named Linnea Smith Jessup, this week regarding your work and a feature!!!!! ((^_^))
Destiny is one of the Greatest Artistic, Creative and Inspirational Musical performers of our time. She stands head and shoulders above any other solo artist in her field. Hats Off to Destiny and Mr. Destiny as well. What an marvelous team they are!
Hello Destiny, I would love to book you for my wedding if you are available 12/20 Oakland, CA. Please let me know.
Desiny: Sorry to use your board, but I do not have your email address. I left for Europe jazz festivals with Roberta. 7/3, back 7/21. I wanted to call you before I left to talk about the Ed Comm. But ran out of time. I am on email or can call you briefly from Vienna this week. Drop me an email above and let me know if you're around. I have no idea when the first Ed. Mtg is. If they ask you, can you ask if it can be after the first week of August? I'd like to create a kiss-butt strategy with you so we can make some REAL change for some more REAL kids who need the help. xoxo Suzanne
Hi Destiny,
My four year old daughter was so inspired by your harp performance at the Western Addition Library last summer (2007), she is asking to take harp lessons. We're at a loss. Can you recommend any children's harp instructors on the Peninsuala? We live in San Carlos.
Thanks!!

My wife has owned a harp for over 20 years, she took lessons for a short time and stoped while raising our daughter. she has wanted to take lessons again, and I wanted to give her lessons for her 61st birthday. Do you give lessons, or can you refer me to someone if you don't? I would appreciate any assistance you can offer. Thanks, Ken Stewart
I'm glad I was told about you at the FCCO!
I saw you on sac and Co and thought you are really good at what you do. i told my sister kenya about you and we like you. she is going to buy your cd when she can. you have support in Ripon Ca!

Thank you so very much for speaking at The State of the Music Industry Panel at Sacramento City College. Your words were piercing and true, so very inspirational. I was unfamiliar with harp before but this is music I can love and cry to. Thank you so very much.

Hello Destiny,
We met today at the PayPal Seminar. I listened to your music and you have a lovely voice! I also thought your harp playing was very beautiful. I very much enjoy the harp.
It was nice meeting you today. I pray our paths cross again someday soon!
God bless!
Then i can buy your music?
Great music!
Destiny
Thank you for sharing your inner spirit through your harp, your sacred sounds inspire, relax and motivate the inner soul.
good music site! Thanks!
Good site
Good luck the web designer.
Wonderful! I really appreciated you sharing your gift today at Malonga. May more young people be able to hear the soothing sounds of your harp.
Destiny. I wanted to reach out with a congratulations for touching my soul in splendid and sacred ways. I met you in Oakland at the womens conference and invited all my friends there to buy the CD. You may remember me, as my sisterfriend begged and you obliged to demonstrate hair mastery. I opened the CD and have been in another space ever since. I desire to buy everything you have made and wanted to also know the price for traveling to Washington, DC for an event...what would you charge for a wedding? say to perform during the wedding and then a few sets during reception?
thanks for responding when time allows.
Awesome. Gripping and moving in powerful and inviting ways.

Is that what this is? After meeting you personally at the end of the business mixer today, I went to your website. Wow, while signing your guestbook I am pleasantly listening to the sampling of "STAND" What a Talent... Thanks for the inspiration and the encouragement. Kirk

Destiny! So good to see that you are still bringing beautiful vibration to the uni-verse. We've been out of touch for a few years, but your brother Akil is still alive and seeking the higher crescendo...always. My best love to you and brother Cristwell. Salaam Supreme.
The music is as beautiful as the soul of the artist. It is a blessing to hear the sounds of heaven coming from the hood. I always wanted to play the harp, I was given the piano instead. The strings of both are divine. Maintain the purity of your spirit and the purity of your music will remain. Peace and Blessinsg.
Thank you, again for your wonderful gift of music with S.O.N.G. at Inner Light Ministries this morning(11/11/07). Your music has touched me deeply and has a new place on my favorites list.
Hey guys!
Just wondering if we could tempt you sometime in the future to come and .....pick up a christina! and give us some sound clips so we can put your playing on our site. Let me know. We will need to know your schedule so Matt could work it into his as well. I would love to put aside your new little baby harp, what color do you want? A bubinga??? Love and hugs Deb
Yes, we are all anxious for your performance at the Synergy Fair. You set such a high vibration at the healing art fair last year. All those who came and participated were touched. Thank you for this. Let me know if you have any questions. Love and Light, Caroline

Hello Young Lady,
I haven't seen you since school days in the South Bay. I was at the Fish House in Tacoma and saw your poster. Good things come from the South Bay. You always have been driven and determined and it is good to see you thriving and sharing something good. I'll be looking for you in my area of the Inland Empire.

Hello, nice site!
April 29, 2007
Congradulations to a sister who knows where she is going. I love the harp and would like to learn how to play myself. God Bless you and all your future endeavors......
I first heard Destiny last Saturday, playing the harp at Macy's. I was so moved by her playing: But then, she began signing and I was totally blown away. She sang Emanuel in a manner I had never before heard: combination of a gorgeous, lirical operatic soprano combined with the most original, jazzlike ornamentation. Truly one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard, and I have heard Sutherland, Callas and all the great operatic sopranos. I can't wait to hear her again. You rock, Destiny...
Happy Birthday!!!
I logged on to your site to get your contact information for a family friend who is getting married.
You performed at our wedding almost 4 years ago. People still remember you and they still ask about our harpist! Our wedding was perfect because of you.
Best wishes and Happy Holidays!!!
Hey Destiny,
It's Rosalind. Wanted to say Thank you again and again for making my wedding simply beautiful. You are the greatest! I had a seat for you and your husband but didnt see you there for dinner. I will be checking your calendar for upcoming events and look forward to seeing you soon.
I fell in love with your music at Harps, Etc. when you played for the Saturday lesson. Nice to visit your website and see how well you are doing. Salam
Destiny,
I am so glad you met Synthia Saint James. Just goes to show you that intention and putting voice to desire can make things happen - even when I drop the ball! Much love to you! Tonda - Synthia's Assistant in Oakland (I'm the one who would listen to you at Java House on Lakeshore and cry!!)
sister,
I will see you on Sunday at the Skirball center what a treat.

On behalf of my new wife and I, we would like to thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding. Our special day turned out to be really nice, and your music was very instrumental in kicking things off. My joy was truly magnified as your beautiful music played as my two special women (daughter and wife) walked down the aisle.
I also have to add, that many people gave us a lot of positive feedback on your play.
Once again, much thanks to you and your husband.

Oh well next time.
Blessings to you and "PacMan" (:-)
My grandson and I saw you @ the World Ground today. Thank you for the beautiful music to jump start my busy week. It reminded me to "slow down"--a pleasant surprise and gift from the angels.
My question: Do you teach privately?
Thank you!

Hey you little sweetie!
Wanted to let you know that health care offices are perfect for your music. I play your CD everyday for my clients and they share how it opens their hearts, get them in the mood for the work I do and some expand emotionally and cry with a beautiful vulnerability.
Something to think about. Let me know if a recommendation from me or a testimonial would be helpful.
Warren Angelo, I.W.
Alafia Destiny,
I had the blessing of enjoying your music at the Women's Art Exhibit (Diosas) @ Gallery1SF a few weeks ago (My jewelry is part of the Exhibit). I can't tell you how beautiful the experience was! Your music and voice sounded great with my uncle, Enrique Padilla gettin down on the congas. I am only sorry that I did not buy a CD from you that night. I have some beautiful pictures that I will e-mail you, there is a great one of you and Arvis, who had her girlchild on Tuesday -- give thanks, they are both happy and healthy. I will definitely be coming to see you perform again in the future. Thank you again for the light and spirit that you brought that evening. Blessings.
Ase,

I also want to add that you're a great person! You're so down to earth & you kept it real with everybody. After today, you'll have so many people that will look up to you as their role model. You've inspired us all! Thanks again.
Destiny! You came to Oakland High School for a presentation and it was wonderful! I never knew the harp could sound so beautiful. Well, at least the way you played was just beautiful! It's too bad we only had an hour. I would've loved to hear you play more! It was just so tremendous. I loved it! Thank you for coming!
The magnificence of Spirit is truly expressed through your beautiful music and blessed voice. Thank you for sharing your music and your light. Your performance and grace at Inner Light last weekend was truly God expressing its Divinity through you. For that, I am truly grateful.
Can't turn your CD of since the concert at Inner Light this last Saturday. Thank you for your connection and for sharing your gift. Many Blessings!
