My new book, My Healing Heart, is the story of my life. The book takes us on an incredible journey from a difficult childhood in the Bronx, New York, to adventures in distant lands, romantic escapades,and the heart-wrenching loss of a small child. In the book, I share valuable spiritual lessons learned through studying and applying the principles of the famous psychic, Edgar Cayce. I talk about how I turned to these teachings for strength when faced with life's most difficult challenges in recent years. The end result was my empowerment and healing. During my twenty-six-year career in the US Foreign Service, I worked in a variety of interesting assignments. I taught English to Polish immigrants in Austria; I was in theatrical productions in Turkey, and, in Colombia, I worked for the Narcotics Section of the US Embassy in the late 1970s, a time when there was much political unrest in that country. in Austria, I took dictation at the Hofburg Palace, which was the home of very powerful families during the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1867-1918). Then, in Nicaragua, I managed to scare off an iguana that was sunbathing on the side of the swimming pool! My Healing Heart is a source of inspiration for anyone who has faced insurmountable challenges. My dream is to help others heal their own hearts. I am now living in a seacoast village in Chile, teaching spiritual concepts, writing, and doing healing work.
