<\/a><\/center>Over the forty plus years of being an initiate in the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, whenever tough times come along I remember the Teachings.\u00a0 Life is awareness, awareness is life. The degree of your awareness is the degree of your loving. The greater your awareness, the greater your loving. The more you open to Spirit, the more clearly you see and the more completely you love. When you become one with Spirit, there is no separation from anything or anyone. There is only loving of one thing \u2013 your divine self, the God that is you and that is also everyone and everything else. And most important, it takes courage to be a spiritual warrior.<\/p>\nInstead of creating from fear, I choose to walk in faith and dream. In 1989 when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, I began writing my book, \u201cA Dream is a Wish the Heart Makes, or If at First You Don\u2019t Succeed, Change the Rules\u201d.<\/p>\n
The night after receiving the diagnosis, I called in the Light and found myself touching the hem of Jesus\u2019s cloak. I knew I would be healed from this life-threatening disease because of my faith in God, Jesus Christ and the Mystical Traveler. I wrote to John-Roger for the Traveler\u2019s blessing. The night before surgery I sat in my bed seeing the doctors and myself in loving. Deep in meditation and prayer I was lifted out of my body into a ball of pure love and light. The next day when the biopsies came back there was no cancer.<\/p>\n
Without hormones, my body began to change. I had no energy and felt depressed. My life priorities became what MSIA teaches: \u201ctake care of yourself first, so you can help take care of others.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then I asked myself, if I had all the health and energy possible what would I be doing with my life? With more light, prayers and the intention of feeling better, I found hair analysis. Within a few months of participating in the body balancing program, my health and life turned around.<\/p>\n
I wanted to make a difference assisting others who could be experiencing life challenges. I became licensed as a hair analysis specialist using diet, supplements and my new techniques of intention to create a better life.\u00a0 In the twenty-five years serving as a health and wellness coach, I have assisted hundreds in creating healthier, happier lives.<\/p>\n
In 2006 when my next life crisis of being jobless, homeless and penniless appeared, I turned to the Traveler and my book, \u201cA Dream is a Wish the Heart Makes, or If at First You Don\u2019t Succeed, Change the Rules.\u201d Let us see if the 5-step process in the book actually works.<\/p>\n
To get a higher perspective I called in the Light of God and asked The Mystical Traveler Consciousness that is within me to assist me in my life direction. Stepping into the living love of the Mystical Traveler is like having a flashlight in the darkness.<\/p>\n
Next, I drew the inner circle and wrote \u201cconfidence and courage visions of joy 2007 manifest now\u201d. I began to listen to my inspired thoughts, and wrote: an affordable home, job, abundance.<\/p>\n
When I had almost finished I wondered, what if I had a big goal, something gigantic. My heart started beating fast, I got so excited, what if I could manifest being in Oprah\u2019s Book Club audience?<\/p>\n
I took out my Dream book and began clearing the way to receive my goals. Each day for the next 30 days, I wrote my intentions.<\/p>\n
The magic of intentions is that they expand the rubber band of thought and imagination with enthusiasm, and make the changes easy, pleasurable, safe and most of all fun. After all, who made the rule that change had to be hard?<\/p>\n
My goals manifested.\u00a0 On February 1, 2007, I created a job in property management at a commercial building. By the end of March, I moved into an apartment near White Rock Lake. I had always wanted to live near the lake.<\/p>\n
Then I began to participate on the Oprah Book Club website. The book in discussion was, \u201cPillars of the Earth\u201d by Ken Follett.\u00a0 I love historical fiction. Ken\u2019s book about the building medieval cathedrals by ordinary people was exciting to read. The reading guidelines on Oprah\u2019s website gave me a deeper perspective of how the story developed the characters and plot twists. I looked forward to each step of the story and sharing my point of view on the website.<\/p>\n
Then in early December of 2007, I received a telephone call from one of the producers at Oprah. Would I be interested in being in the audience with Ken Follett and his book \u201cPillars of the Earth\u201d at the end of January 2008? I discovered I would have to pay for the trip to Chicago. I said \u201cNo.\u201d I could not afford to go.<\/p>\n
I called my younger brother Allan who lived in New Hampshire and told him about my invitation. He was so excited for me and told me to call the Oprah people back, that he would pay for the trip.<\/p>\n
The next day I was able to contact the producer who gave me the day, time, and instructions on where to find the studio.<\/p>\n
What if I could get on national television, maybe ask an important question, one that no one had discovered?<\/p>\n
On Ken Follett\u2019s website, I found two special projects that involved literacy and I knew literacy was also important to Oprah. I began to see myself in the Oprah audience raising my hand and asking Ken Follett the important questions.<\/p>\n
Before the taping, Oprah\u2019s cheerleaders came out to explain what we could expect. Then the show started. I listened carefully to Ken and Oprah talk about the book.<\/p>\n
The interview with Mr. Follett took almost all day. There were one or two questions during the interview but none touched on the information I knew. It was the last two minutes and Oprah asked if there was anyone in the audience that had a question. Hands from everywhere flew up.\u00a0 I raised my hand, and Oprah called on me.<\/p>\n
