“Compassion is the recognition of the suffering of another with a desire to alleviate the suffering.
Yet to be compassionate to another, you must be compassionate to yourself.
Many people beat themselves up by being hypercritical, not allowing themselves to enjoy the same kindness that they would offer to others.
And until one is truly kind to oneself, giving love and kindness to others is often impossible.”
“The Alphabet of the Heart,” James R. Doty, MD, edgarcayce.org

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.
