The Change in Me
My Passion to Love the World Started Long Ago
Although I cared very much about people, particularly the elderly, as I grew up, and felt led to become a social worker, my ability to love has been greatly enhanced by the opportunities I’ve had to learn and grow.
Some of the change came easily, by being led intuitively to the next steps.
Challenging experiences and relationships were and are gifts as well.
Angels are definitely guiding and protecting me through it all.

Mark Satin
I met Mark Satin at a Humanistic Psychology Conference in the 1970’s. I’ve supported his work ever since. The phrase from his book, New Age Politics has inspired me: “Think Globally, Act Locally”.

The 17 Day Diet
Several years ago I had used affirmations to assist me with achieving a healthy weight. My intuition led me to The 17 Day Diet at a local book store. My weight has been stable for over five years and the quality of the food I eat has improved immeasurably.
Current Inspirations
John Harold Moore
John Harold Moore is a beautiful soul who radiates love. I was amazed by his Family Constellation Workshop, which I took in a group and individually. He is now my inspirational counsellor and mentor.
Darren Hardy
“One big idea to ignite your mind every morning’’ is what Darren provides on Darren Daily. And ignite my mind he has – strengthening my commitment to find volunteer outlets for our talents and learning myself in the process.
His landing page states: “You weren’t born to be GOOD. You are here to be GREAT. You were called here for a reason, to fulfill a special purpose. A mission. To contribute something unique. Something that wouldn’t have existed without you.”
My sentiments exactly.
