The COVID-19 pandemic sweeps around the globe exempting no one. Every culture has been touched. Mother Earth, Gaia, is in a deep state of distress as the outflux of the industrial revolution for generations and mass commerce has polluted all her elements; soil, water, air and our food chain. The blizzard pace of the contemporary electronic culture has ramped up the human nervous system and brain chemistry which is daisy-chained to the immune system. We have become more vulnerable at these levels to contagion. Additionally, greed, aggressiveness, mass marketing and an imbalanced eco-system have infiltrated society to the extent that a once symbiotic society and planet are susceptible to a vicious super bug.

Trying times always give us the opportunity to birth a new paradigm and hopefully a healthier tomorrow for us all - body, mind, and spirit. If you are experiencing any life challenges, whether they be related to COVID-19 or anything at all that feels overwhelming, this book is for you. The passages are taken directly from the private journal of a courageous woman that overcame all odds when diagnosed with life-threatening neurological Lyme disease. Her words lift us up and gift us with a real-life example of making choices that changed the course of her destiny forever.

May the pages in this book help you to believe in yourself and that nothing really is impossible. Our mind, heart and spirit are vastly capable and when we take the time to be quiet and present within our self, versus multitasking and pushing so hard on the external planes of societal expectations. Often, we can become disconnected or fuzzy in our connection to inner source and higher consciousness. My intention is to help illuminate your pathway of inner resource.

I hope to share thoughts and insights and messages of inspiration to many of you on your healing journey or merely daily life of more aware living. As both a seeker and a messenger, I look forward to sharing in mutual support, the amazing gifts of inner mind-body-spirit skills we all possess.
