She has been teaching Reiki ever since.   "Since moving to Sharp County, Arkansas I have devoted my efforts to building a hospital here, using the positive approach. I used my novel, The Vision of Eagle Lake as an action step in the Law of Attraction process, creating a fictional story of a rural village in need of a hospital. As interest in our project grows, we are beginning to see positive results.” My book is now available in KINDLE format at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00457VIV4
