The Road to Gratitude

We are all on a journey in this life. Sometimes the road is open, with beautiful, breathtaking vistas. Sometimes the path is difficult, and we don’t know how to move forward. We long for a simple, beautiful life, the fairytale symbols of happiness: a perfect relationship, happy children, beautiful house, and perfect health. Never any problems, everything we desire manifesting easily, everything flowing perfectly according to our will and plan.

And yet it seems we are here to experience at least some form of hardship. I have learned from my hardships by being brought to my knees, healing myself body~mind~spirit and becoming the best Advanced Eden Method Energy Medicine Practitioner possible. I have come from being separate and very sick to becoming part of not one but three powerfully healing communities — Eden Method Energy Medicine, the Medical Medium Practitioner Support Community, and Reconnective Healing. I am continually learning, growing, and advancing in my knowledge and healing to help teach others to learn, grow, heal, and be happy.

If you’ve had a mystery illness that has plagued you for years and even decades, this book is for you. If you’ve had a cancer diagnosis, have been dealing with mystery or chronic pain, are struggling with panic, anxiety, or depression, have experienced infidelity, or have had the breakup of a long-term marriage leave you in pieces, this book is for you. I have been there. So many of us have. This book will not only help you to heal from these things but also thrive after them.

This book is about my journey from a tired child experiencing headaches, allergies, and rashes as a common occurrence to an adult with a mystery illness for decades that came and went, and eventually an aggressive and irregular skin cancer diagnosis. It is the story of how I was able to transform these things into being a vibrant, happy, healthy fifty-something woman. I’ve been asked many times how I regained my health and how I am so happy. I can’t tell my story in full to everyone individually, so I set out to write this book and share all of the things I have learned and the tools I’ve used along the way to heal myself. To my core I want to help others to heal and thrive.

I received my cancer diagnosis while I was navigating the ending of my long-term marriage. I thought, “How in the world can I handle this also? I cannot die, my kids need me!” My intention was to experience my divorce with as much love and grace as possible. But I wasn’t extending this same love and grace to myself, and I soon realized how much I was out of balance. I was being reactionary instead of being and doing what I needed to do to be healthy. I had not been trusting and honoring my beliefs. I was living a life of worry, fear, and exhaustion from not putting myself first. We are meant to come from love in all ways for a better world. Love can heal so many things if allowed. But we need to love ourselves first, and then we will be able to truly love everyone and everything else. This is how situations shift and how true healing happens.

I share stories from my life and also from sessions I have done with clients that are examples of how our energy body cannot be left out of the healing process. This is not intended to change your beliefs in any way, just to show you the unfolding of my life that consisted of exhaustion, chronic and extreme stress, depression, illness, and judgment into a life of connectedness, grace, love, health, peace, joy, gratitude, forgiveness, and service to others.

This book includes energy protocols to support and balance your energetic body, which will help you to heal your physical body. It is a resource with protocols for you to clear emotions in your energetic field and body that are triggering you and keeping you from living a vibrant life and living your purpose. For your benefit I have also included a protocol that helps you to get rid of energy cords that are draining you and making you feel exhausted. Donna Eden, who can see energies, says that she can see dis-ease in our energy field first before it goes into our physical body. Being vibrant is being in charge of your own energies and not taking on other people’s energies. I will also share my routine for better sleep.

This is a guide to help you to navigate what life brings to you on your journey with more resilience and love.
