The who, what, when and why of my book

For years prior to writing this book, my hubs David, clients and friends urged me to share the who, what, when and why of where I was and where I am today.

Oddly it was a quote that framed things in a way that made sense to share my healing and spiritual path from the "there to my healthy, happy here. The essence of the quote was, "those who have walked through the fires and became a Phoenix have a moral responsibility to give the lessons back to give other their transformational wings."

The girl in the shadows on the book jacket was me back "there.| " I wrote this book as a testimony of hope and chronicale how my scars were turned into Lodestars that guide my and others I share our Change Making ideas with today. My book is an offering and affirmation that it is not what happens to us that defines who and what we become. Instead, it is how we respond and choose to do about it.

Bright blessings on your own journey,

Raia

"Answer" - Sarah Mclachlan

I've Been There chronicles the family, health, personal and professional challenges and changes I lived through and this video, lyrics, and performance with Sarah McLaughlin resonates with me. My prayers for answers and spiritual clarity always came. Those who ask and are willing to know receive answers. I know this beyond any shadow of light and my life is a testimony to that truth.

Answer resonates my appreciation to Source for prayers answers and everyone along my healing path offering their encouragement, belief in me, love, care, and support. Many along the way became "my answer" to prayers I sent up for direction and support.

Letting go is the most difficult task a human being will ever undertake. It isn't unique to any one individual. We will all someday have to face it; some of us in old age, others during adolescence. Regardless, the challenge is still there, because to live is to love and to love is to hope. I have never met people with more hope than those suffering from cancer or other debilitating, chronic or terminal conditions. They are courageous spiritual warriors who inspire others with their heroism. They understand the seemingly paradoxical truth that pain is a part of the happiness- an integral part. Please take this video share as a token of my love, respect, and admiration.

Blessings of love and light wherever you are as you read, listen and watch this.
