I said: “I’m going to get a spoon and I’m going to go make stones.” Needless to say, being her only child, she wasn’t going to thwart my creativity, so Mom got me the cookie pan, opened the door and out I sloshed right into the back yard and into the mud. I’m sure she was thrilled with that. I proceeded to take some of the mud and put it on the cookie sheet, just like when we made cookies. I did that until the cookie sheet was filled up in rows with globs of potential stones. Then I picked myself up, picked up the cookie sheet and stood at the back door.
I guess my Mom must have been watching me because she opened the door. I came in, looked up : “Mom, I made stones.” She looked at me. I continued before she could say anything “now we have to put them in the ice place.” “The refrigerator?” she asked. “Mom, I have to make stones. How come you don’t know?” So, she opened the freezer and put them in. At that point, I was staring at the refrigerator still in my galoshes and dripping on the floor. “You know” she said, “it’s going to take a little while, just like when I make the strawberry ice cream cake that we put in the refrigerator.”
I said, “oh, right. Okay.” Mom asked: “What do you want to do? Do you want to color? Do you want to take a nap?” I said: “I don’t know. Maybe I’ll take a nap. It’s really hard work making stones.” I went for the nap and I came back a couple of hours later. I put the chair up to the refrigerator, opened the freezer and I yelled to my mother. I said: “Mom, mom, you got to come, you got to come. I made stones.” They were stones. We put them on the kitchen table. We picked them up and I started holding them. I said: “Mom, I made stones.”
She looked at me with this great big smile and said: “Yes, you did.” Then suddenly, guess what happened?
They started to melt. As they were melting, I was crying. I looked at my mother and she looked at me and said: “Jalma, when you get older, one of these days, I bet you’re going to make stones that don’t melt.”
CS: and it’s obvious that mentality, that innovation, that relating to how things work together was evident and I will say: it seems the rest was history.
Jalma, it seems the Quantum Alignment System has been with you for some time
Jalma: Yes. I tweaked the model over the years, copyrighted it in 2007 and began to test it out with some of my individual clients with amazing results. Because of that testing, I brought it to a professional national conference to beta test it by teaching a group of organizational health system leaders how to use the model. That experience gave me information for refining it. It is now time for the Quantum Alignment System to be universally shared and have this system available for organizational consultants, businesses and corporation leaders to really use the wisdom of the whole.
CS: Speaking of universally, the Quantum Alignment System can be definitely referred to as Captain Kirk of Star Trek used to describe their voyages: “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.” **
Now, the Quantum Alignment System is taking organizational development to quantum form that has never been seen or experienced before.
Jalma: chuckled. Yes, absolutely.
CS: and with that, I will thank you Jalma for sharing this time with me today. This has been wonderful. I want to thank you now on behalf of all who may see and read this across the globe; for the help you will offer by having created this brilliant system and for sharing and enlightening us about it. Here’s to what makes your happy and your soul smile.
Jalma: Thank you so much Carol. It’s been a pleasure.
