When I turned 16, that summer I was grounded (I got fired from a job for being sassy). I was only allowed to leave the house for a different small part-time job I got. Needless to say, I spent most of my 16th summer in my bedroom. In my bedroom I had a picture of Jesus. It was on an oval piece of wood and the edges still had the tree bark on it.
I spent a lot of time staring at the picture and drifting off into space. At the time, I did not realize that I was spending a whole lot of time with the angels and Jesus. I enjoyed my time with them, even if I did not understand that was what I was doing. I was only 16 after all!
As a teenager, there were two things I knew for sure about myself:
Both things came true.
After college I went into the computer industry and worked in the areas of logistics and software consulting. In these roles, my favorite task was business process redesign – mapping the current process to new ways of working in relation to their existing or new software being installed.
In my early 40’s I did go to see a psychic in Santa Fe. In her office, she had a large feather with a crystal underneath it. At the end of the session, I picked up the crystal (a beautiful citrine point) and the whole inside turned to liquid! I immediately put it down and thought – I am not ready for this!
As I left her office and walking around afterwards, everything seemed so much clearer, brighter colors, and louder sounds. I saw things with more clarity. It was as if I was sleep walking before and now, I was awake. Granted the feeling only lasted a few days but it was amazing.
I called this psychic for a reading about six weeks later. At the end of the reading, she asked me if there was anything she could do for me. I said yes, and that she had this crystal which I had been thinking about. I described the crystal to her.
She said yes, that was the crystal. Then she told me this story. About a year earlier the crystal told her it no longer belonged to her and to bury it in the ground. She had just recently dug up the crystal just before my first session with her. She did not know who it was supposed to go to.
Since I had asked about the crystal, she said the crystal now belonged to me. She sent the crystal to me. This crystal opened the door to a whole new world. I mention this because from this first crystal – I found a person who taught a Spiritual Awareness class.
The Spiritual Awareness classes were to learn about chakras, crystals, how to read auras, how to do clairvoyant energy healings, and meet different beings. All these things seemed quite natural to me.
In my mid 40’s I did move to the Southwest, which ended up being Arizona. Shortly after moving, I called my Spiritual Awareness instructor for a reading. She said that I was going to write inspirational sayings. She was very sure about this.
Even though she told me this, I was sure I was not going to write inspirational sayings. I did not like writing and I am not good with words. Besides, writing is hard work and takes a great deal of concentration. It was not going to happen!
I also took two crystal classes in Sedona. Well, that did it! I started buying crystals all the time. I was hooked. Crystals really did open me up to a most wonderous new world.
I also worked at a bookstore doing readings for people. While I was at the bookstore, Gary R. Renard’s The Disappearance of the Universe book came out. The owner of the bookstore showed me the book but I was not interested in it.
As I was learning about spirituality, I would go to the larger bookstores to the New Age or Spiritual sections and look to see what popped out. I noticed A Course in Miracles book. I paused at it and then decided I did not need any miracles.
A couple of years later, a friend gave me The Disappearance of the Universe book. I started reading it and immediately knew I had to get A Course in Miracles.
So, I read The Disappearance of the Universe, A Course in Miracles and did the workbook in A Course in Miracles at the same time. I would not recommend this. It was tough. Let us just say my ego got really challenged!
At about the same time I was reading these two books, I found myself starting to write inspirational sayings and 4-line verses. An inspiration would come to me and I would write it down on whatever was available. Over the next couple of years, I had quite a collection of pieces of paper and various notebooks with lots of sayings and 4-line verses.
Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night with sayings coming to me. I would say to myself, I will remember it. Of course, I did not remember, so I started having a pen and paper nearby.
Things seemed to quiet down after a very busy couple of years. I went on with my life collecting crystals, doing crystal healings and writing a book titled Cosmic Unity.
So here I am in my mid 60’s and, lo and behold, I am actually writing a book with inspirational sayings, 4-line verses, answers to questions you did not even know you had, meditations and reflections. Eighteen years ago, I would not have thought it possible that I would be writing a book for the upliftment of humanity.
Who knew?
Oh yeah – the Holy Spirit did!
