My spiritual practice's natural progression and development as a healer motivated me to write my story and first book, It's Never Quite What You Think. In mothering adopted four- and six-year-old daughters from a foreign country, the searing heartbreak of broken dreams compelled me to evaluate my mothering abilities. In that process, I also learned to mother myself. Acquiring self-knowledge is demonstrated to release ancient beliefs and fears that perpetuate guilt, self-sacrifice, superstition, or long-term suffering, including any handed-down text that promotes dependency on a force other than God's Mind mastery within each of us to create our reality. My stumbles in parenting transform themselves into steps of liberation as my story evolves from the "taboo" of a mother who leaves her home into a message of freedom in the song that it sings: "Love is not held in the captivity of expectation, like the birds, it is free to go as it chooses." Next came the perfect follow-up and sequel, Love Is Enough. My guide, Kuthumi, brings hope to anyone who has ever felt devastated by relationship difficulties, mourned the passing of a loved one, or suffered from the emptiness of self-abandonment and broken dreams. My other self-help books include: Ascended Master Kuthumi's Heart One Defining Moment Truth with No Proof The Voice of Ascension Junie's Story – A book for ages 2-12 and a great adult child teaching opportunity on how animals should be treated with love, care, and respect. Based on the emotional true story of Junie's rescue. Journey to Awakened Consciousness

    A Message for the Family

    One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him, so Jesus went to his home and sat down to eat. When a certain immoral woman from that city heard he was eating there, she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume. Then she knelt behind him at his feet, weeping. Her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them off with her hair. Then she kept kissing his feet and putting perfume on them. When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner! Then Jesus answered his thoughts. Simon, he said to the Pharisee, I have something to say to you. Go ahead. Teacher, Simon replied. Then Jesus told him this story: A man loaned money to two people-500 pieces of silver to one and 50 pieces to the other. But neither of them could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts. Who do you suppose loved him more after that? Simon answered, I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt.

    That’s right, Jesus said. Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, Look at this woman kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn’t offer me water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but from the time I first came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet. You neglected the courtesy of olive oil to anoint my head, but she has anointed my feet with rare perfume. I tell you her sins-and they are many- have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love. Then Jesus said to the woman, Your sins are forgiven."

    Luke 7: 36-50

    My Personal Story

    The first emotion I ever remember feeling was pride. I was proud of myself because I could smoke cigarettes, do drugs, and drink alcohol like everybody else. I found that when I used drugs I could numb feelings and memories and I had friends. I also remember losing my innocence
