I love this, Erika. Interesting how life works. I have been a Radiation Therapist for the last 28 years, and last year I decided to pursue my dreams of being an artist (while still working my day job). There were so many fears to face, and challenges to overcome while trying to be true to myself. The journey never ends, so much self-discovery in this lifetime. I am really looking forward to learning more about your work, and reading your books.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life. I always love to hear, see, or even watch how people walk their path in life. It is so interesting what all develops in the background and which key moment is the starting point. Life is so amazing. All the fears we decide to overcome and the new spheres we enter with that… new fears because of unknown terretories, but also a growing self-esteem, faith, and curiousity for life. With every happening, overcome obstacle we discover ourselves new. Thank you so much for your words, Mary Michelle!

Oh wow this is a wonderfully beautiful video! You know what????? You will find this interesting…I lived my growing up year IN THE CHURCH…I was Southern Fried Baptist. OH boy was awful. I could not wait to leave home so I could choose for myself. Long story short I moved to Tulsa in 1987 right smack dab in the middle of what is known as “The Belt of the Bible Belt.” But somehow I happened on the wonderful healer, teacher and he helped chisel all that old baptist narrow minded way of thinking right off me and I was able to open myself up to a new way of thinking. I still believe much of what I did but here’s the best part…when I first came to WP I met this amazing person that used to always talk about the EGO. I read Tollie’s book the power of now and I thought I got it but I guess I didn’t because I still do not know. I could not believe it when I saw you video this is exactly the question I have been asking! i’m on my way over to buy your book! How cool is that? Your video is so amazing!

This is truly amazing, what you write. I also read Tolle’s books and The Law Of Attraction. And I had a tough time to combine the two topics. Wayne Dyer was the link to both. And when I found out I headed towards my breakthrough which caused me to write myself. It is amazing that we have met. Isn’t it? No coincidences.

Hi Robert! Thanks for your honoring words and for taking the time to check out my site. On the weekend I am giving two lectures and they thouch what you wrote about in your comment: There are so many people suffering from the same problem of putting themselves in a prison without knowing that they are the ones holding the key in hands. We are hiding our Selves behind a wall and don’t tell anybody about it. That’s why we think we are totally alone with that problem. What a big misunderstanding. I’d love to check out your site as well. The title of your book sounds very interesting and makes me curious anyway… :)!
