f someone would have approached me several years ago
and said, “You are going to write a book based upon your
conversations with an angel,” I would have looked at them
in total disbelief. In fact, God knows that part of me, a
very tiny part of me, is still in awe that this indeed has happened
and is being presented to you on the following pages. For those
readers who wish to learn about my spiritual growth and experi-
ences, I offer this:
My mother was my first spiritual teacher. She taught about
creation and the value of it. She valued religious study and
encouraged me to fold my hands and pray every night. At age
14, a terrible tragic event unfolded. My mother died. For years,
I could not understand why it happened and why God would
do such a cruel thing. I cursed God repeatedly. After directing
my sorrow toward a variety of negative experiences, I reached
out in prayer.
Near my twenty-first birthday, an amazing thing happened. I
was awakened one night with an event, which I now know as an
"out-of-body" experience. I was awakened by the words of my
mother who told me not to worry for she was in a good and holy
place. She told me that we would meet again one day, but not
for some time. She comforted me with other words of kindness
and I was left with a completely peaceful and loving feeling that
she was always with me.
From this experience I was lead to new paths of questioning.
I started to look outward instead of inward and began have some
unusual new experiences. I began to “hear” thoughts on a regu-
lar basis, though few of my immediate family and friends real-
ized this. Much later, I learned this term was referred to as men-
tal telepathy, though for many years I questioned my sanity. I
studied, I explored, and developed my own belief systems dur-
ing this period. Many of these expanding beliefs discounted the
religious teachings I had received as a child.
Until this point, no one could satisfy my quest for knowledge
about death and everlasting life. So I sought counsel from hyp-
notists, acupuncturists, and therapists to validate my experi-
ences, which were occurring more frequently and involving mes-
sages from other souls who I had known had “died”. Still uncon-
vinced that what was happening to me could really occur, I fur-
thered my study. I read everything I could get my hands on
about reincarnation, energy work, auras, chakras, guardian
angels, the power of crystals and gems, and alternative thought
involving spiritual beliefs. The first influential book was Brian
Weiss' Many Lives, Many Masters which validated some of my
experiences. Then I found the Conversations with God series of
books by Neale Donald Walsh. Eventually, I began to accept and
