Want peace in your life?

This is a true story. I have written it exactly the way it happened to me between January 1987 and December 1990. The descriptions of characters and names have been changed to protect their identity. 

I originally wrote the story for my children – to share with them the lessons I learned on this incredible journey – and also as a personal catharsis. I needed to step back and take a look at all that had happened, which is why I wrote the story in third person and did not filter out the day-to-day family activities. It was important to me to be genuine (with exception of protecting certain identities) and this is the Real Story. 

When the original manuscript was completed in 1992, my twin sister gave it to her friend and neighbor, who produces t.v. movies. She passed it along to a professional reviewer in Hollywood, who summarized it with the words: “This is a wonderful story.” Because of the cost to produce the many period pieces in this trilogy, the movie idea was abandoned; I still think it would make good film.

Many years ago, I read an inspiring book by Dr. Gerald Jampolsky and Diane Circincione titled Love is the Answer. It is my sincerest wish that after reading Finding Margaret, that you, too, will agree – Love really is the answer.

This is the second book in my series, “Finding Margaret - uncovering the crazy truth that you're not crazy after all.” 

The title was suggested to me by Steve Kidd, an international best selling author and marketing guru who has been an inspiration and guiding star to bring this story to fruition.

When I first met the economics professor who turned my life upside down, I never had any idea where I would land. Deeply depressed and often suicidal, each day was a struggle. The Good Lord must have had plans for my life, however, because I not only survived, I thrived.

I look back upon my journey as a great education for my Soul and know unequivocally that each soul chooses the way it meets life’s challenges and makes the choices that create its experiences. 

Today I have a very busy career as a small business accountant, and I have published twelve books. I enjoy family activities and travel with my two adult children, five amazing Grans, and now two great grandsons. 

If I could make one wish for you, it would be that you, too, find the path to peace, love, and joy.

After two years of troubling dreams and nightmares about my college economics professor and scared out of my mind by emotions I had never experienced in my forty-five years of life, I truly thought I must be insane.

Add to this, I was sleep deprived for a long period of time, became gaunt from loss of weight, and lost the use of my left arm for no known or diagnosable reason. How would you feel if all that happened to you?

I am a classical music fan, so you might say that this story is my Scheherazade– the story of a woman who avoided death at the hands of her evil husband by spinning nightly tales of intrigue and suspense. He never killed her because he wanted to hear the end to her story and eventually fell in love with her. I kept going because I had to get to the end of my story, and I hope you will not only enjoy reading about the journey I took to find Margaret but will also see where there could be similarities in your own life – and that the lessons I learned will give you a deeper and more meaningful understanding of your own journey. 

As we travel together through this last book on my odyssey, I hope you will be open to the experiences I have had and see that I am not unique – things like this are happening globally. I have been contacted by people around the world with similar stories: a man in the south of France, an archeologist in Rome, Italy, and an office administrator in Singapore, who told me, “A man walked into my office one day, shook my hand, and turned my life upside down.”

Exactly as the title says, I really did think I was crazy. When I realized the implications of past-lives on current incarnations, I knew it was my mission to share my story to hopefully shed light on what I call “past-life crisis.” A classic example of this is Bruce Jenner, the world class athlete and Olympian, who is now a “female” (Caitlin Jenner) and has said from earliest childhood he wanted to be a girl. In my humble opinion, this is clearly a past-life crisis and he was identifying with a prior incarnation. This is happening more and more as more souls are incarnating. They need help; we need to understand the real source of their identity problems.

My reincarnation workbook “Crossing the Bridge from Life to Life” is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all fine booksellers. I am also available to do talks, so please contact me through the website. If you have a story to tell, please share it. Only by understanding our real problems can we ever hope to have peace in the world.
