Professional Reviews
Healing:Transmuting the negative energies into the positive and finding Peace and Purpose within an without!
"Thank you for your sensitive, literary creation "Roses have Thorns." It is profound and soul penetrating. There is an amazing amount of pain set forth in those short stories, that I ask our Great Creator Source to enfold you in His/Her loving arms and vibrations, to bestow upon you and your loved ones infinite blessings of the highest healing of your physical mental, and spiritual beings, and energy fields. I can see why you might require an entourage of Angels and Guides, having lived through the hellish mine-field existence you so succinctly describe, with the full impact of an emotional roller coaster, you shared from having lived a fear based emotional existence. Thank Heaven Ascension draweth nigh, and we have great things to look forward to experiencing, on Planet Earth and Beyond. May God's Infinite Healing of Love, Light and Peace be with you and yours!
