Isn’t it interesting how pain can develop our greatness within? If there was a way to avoid the pain, I’m sure I would have, but for all the things it has brought out in me, I see that it was all worth the journey. I mean that.

My story is of childhood pain … pain that caused me to think perhaps way too deeply for a child, but also caused me to seek a love greater than human love. So many times I wanted to see and experience magic for real because I knew that nobody on earth understood my pain. Nobody did. I had to believe in the impossible almost every day, and to be honest, I mucked by most days. However, I managed to keep my bubbly zest for life, a sense of humor, and caring for others … so, yes, that felt like magic. It was a miracle and was (and still is) my gift to share.

You are so right in saying that, “…we are not alone here. That we have available to us more help than we could ever need to move to places we have not yet been to.”

It often seems unfair that it has to be fire that refines us, but how else can a diamond find it’s sparkle?

I love your magazine and all your beautiful writings. I am proud to share and promote your work with my women’s group.

Blessings always,
Verna

I had the pleasure of discovering you and your magazine today when I went to Community Natural Foods for the first time today (it was a day of firsts!). I read your article and your website and I had to leave a note. My journey was similar to yours – I have spent many years working in lawfirms doing a job that pays the bills but doesn’t make my heart soar. My whole life I have been the person people come to when the needed comfort, someone to listen or someone to support them through a difficult time. No matter when I work, I end up making friends and creating a “community”. Finally, this February I realized my passion and my life purpose and I started my journey as a life coach. I enrolled at Coaching and Leadership International and learned a coaching technique that includes mind, body and spirit. I feel like I have finally come home and I am living my life purpose. Nothing can make me feel such joy and happiness as watching my clients discover their own amazing wisdom and learn to love and appreciate the beautiful spirits that they are. It’s like watching my own child learning to walk and discover life. In the process of coaching, I have also learned how the difficulties in my own life were actually gifts that have hellped me to be of greater service to my clients. The perfection of the Universe is amazing.

Thank you so much for your work. Thank you also for your interview with my favorite person – Dr. Buscaglia. I have been a huge fan of his for many years and was very saddened by his death but joyous to know that his legacy of love will live on. What an amazing man and an inspiration for all. I look forward to following your work. All the very best!

When, a few minutes ago, I was reading your story, I was also trying to remember how I came across you…maybe through “The secret”..but it is not important why..I think in life nothing happens by chance and everything/everyone is there to show us what our job, real job, is in this lifetime. I changed my life completely almost 6 years ago coming to London from Italy and resigning my permanent job over there. Now I know I have to “jump” to another challenging moment and I feel I am lacking in my real aim but I am sure it is there, behind my fears and worries.
Thank you so much for your emails and all the other important things you have done so far…Blessings and love Rosalba

When I found your website I said a prayer of thanks. It is so special.
The way you write and the inspiration I find from your writings always uplifts me. Thank you for beening so authentic.

I will still purchase your e-book when I have the resources to afford it.
I will write my story, but I am not sure how to put it on the blog. I will find out.

Keep sharing.
You are blessed and loved by me, Belinda

P.S. You look almost exactly as I imagined.
