My Book

Bobby McFerrin sang, “Don’t worry, be happy.”  That’s the ultimate message of this book.  The most important goal of our lives should be to feel joy, despite the challenges, frustrations and losses that we face along the way.  For many years, I have worked with homeless and foster youth in Oakland , a city with one of the highest homicide rates in the country.  What distresses me the most is seeing folks on the streets who have lost their capacity for hope and joy.  This is the ultimate tragedy in my mind – when the soul gives up and loses its compassion and humanity both for itself and others.

No matter our approach, no matter our religious or philosophical beliefs, we will most assuredly face challenges along the way.  We’re here to have a human experience after all.  I won’t promise you that if you read this book, you’ll have a spiritual awakening that will allow you to entirely escape the pain and frustration that life has to dish up!  I’ll never present myself as having figured it all out or transcended the drama of being human – after all, I’m an Aries.  It’s taken me a long time to mature.  I’ve messed up a lot and made some mistakes along the way.

But I have figured out a lot, too.  I hope that you will learn through my experiences, ways to connect with the “flow” of life.  I want you to start noticing the magic that’s all around you.  I want you to begin recognizing when spirit is at work in your life. For example when synchronous opportunities present themselves to you, I want you to take the risks necessary to seize them.  I want you to transcend your self-made struggles and in understanding the bigger picture, change the way you react to negative circumstances in your environment, knowing that they are just opportunities for spiritual development and growth.  I want you to transform your life to achieve your dreams so that you have greater happiness and deeper fulfillment – no matter what’s going on around you.  If this seems selfish to you, think again.  If you are living in harmony with what spirit has to provide, which will always be more than you could have imagined or hoped for yourself, then the lives of all the people around you will be improved as well.

In this book, I share many of the ways that I believe the universe supports us in our dreams…keeping us safe (if we listen), teaching us important lessons, helping us to reach our full potential and to find happiness and fulfillment.  These include working with dreams, exploration of past lives, mediumship and psychic realms, synchronicity and what I call silver linings.
