“Control is the way your ego ‘solves’ the problem of fear. Whenever any of us falls into controlling behavior, one of the following scenarios is at work in the unconscious:
We are afraid someone will reject us.
We are afraid of failing.
We are afraid of being wrong.
We are afraid of being powerless.
We are afraid of being destroyed.
None of these fears makes you a bad person, or a weak one. Everyone is faced with similar fears, yet only those people who cannot admit the threats hiding inside cope with them by resorting to control.”
The Path To Love, Deepak Chopra, p. 199.

After thirty years of teaching Inner City, Special Education students and
forty-five years of metaphysical studies, I have decided to share my life's philosophical understandings on this wonderful website. For me, everything in my life has been a spiritual experience from being raised in an alcoholic household, to marriage and teaching, and finally caring for an Alzheimer parent. I have sought at least fifteen, personal psychic readings to try and assist me as a wife, teacher and caretaker. I want to share the wisdom that I have gained from following the valuable spiritual guidance from my inner knowing and from heeding the advise of channeled answers from trusted psychics. At almost 70 years old, I am writing, traveling and enjoying retirement in Florida.
