Something About Me and My Book:: I am a family nurse practitioner and I meant to write a healing book, you know the kind, a self-help manual based on my expertise… Everyone has a story: how they do what they do, how they became who they are in the world. And I have mine.

In 1984, I gave birth to a premature baby who stumped expert endocrinologists with numerous hormonal challenges. Defying medical advice, I orchestrated the care of my firstborn and my intuition proved correct—our healthy son just graduated college. In spite of my conventional training, what I learned as a patient and a parent sparked an expertise in holistic neuro-immune-endocrinology, the interface, I believe, between the bio-physical and the psycho-spiritual being.

Although I evolved into an intuitive healer capable of honing in on the biochemical interconnections of physiology and relating them to symbolic imbalances as lessons on a patient’s soul path, I continued to use the scientific method to research nutritional therapies. After many futile attempts to find a nutritional connection between genetics and the hypothalamic orchestration of the neuro-immune-endocrine system, I surrendered to the advice of my children and prayed. Every night for three months, I had the same dream in which my most hormonally-challenged patients came to drink from a chalice I held. We never spoke, but intuitively I knew they were better. I awoke every morning asking what the golden liquid in the cup was. The first answer came as seven Aramaic letters, which amazingly translated into the same single letter denotations used for the seven amino acids I had been studying related to the hypothalamus. Thus my nutraceutical formula, Genesis Gold®, was born.

Appreciating my unique take on healing, how I married eastern and western philosophies into successful therapeutics, how I seemed to know just what was out of balance to restore wellbeing, and how passionately I shared anecdotal stories from my life as a healer, wife, mother, sister, daughter, my patients encouraged me to write a book. So in the summer of 2003, I began…but had no idea how to put it together, no muse, no nothing, until September 15…

I had a dream. I was walking down the dusty streets of Nazareth, fine linen flapping about my legs, my sandals gathering debris, as I hurried along anxious to meet my friend. Then I was there, in a humble courtyard, looking into the eyes of a boy I knew very well. In the dream, I was fourteen-year-old Mary, the soon to be bride of Yeshua.

Once the opening chapter was recorded, the muse did not leave my side day or night for eight months. I didn’t know why Mary’s story came to me. I wasn’t religious, nor particularly interested in history, but I was compelled to record the voice of the woman history had forgotten. I lived and breathed nearly every aspect of her story while typing like mad. Here was a muse I couldn’t deny. Never once did I suffer writer’s block, but it wasn’t easy to humanize the man deified by so many in the eyes of the woman the world believed was far from his wife. Yet how could I deny the intimate details that came in dreams and visions, some even…in Aramaic!

By embodying the energy of the divine daughter, recognizing her in others, and reaping the benefits, I became my truth. I chose the first person present tense narrative because that’s how it felt to me. The synchronicities between writing Mary's story and mine have been amazing—as I wrote, it would become manifest in my life. As Mary progressed in her awakening, so did I.

Finally I emerged from hiding behind my board certifications, licenses, and scientific training to admit that I intuitively diagnosed and treated my patients. Appreciating my honesty, they began challenging me to further my healing gifts, especially encouraging me to divulge the lessons from the book. Family, friends, and even patients clamored to share in the experience, so I released chapters of the first draft for feedback. It should have been no surprise that my readers had transformational experiences, but I was in awe, because that’s what happened to me. I always believed in the profound potential within each of us. That’s how I believe healing occurs. It’s already encoded; we just have to tap in to the potential for it to become manifest.

As it turns out, I did write a healing book. Everything I wished to teach—the bio-psycho-spiritual healing lessons—are in LoveDance: Awakening the Divine Daughter. In story form, the way a beloved avatar taught some two thousand years ago.

How About Holism for Health Care Reform?

When are we going to think out of the box? I just got off the phone with Bob, the local cardiologist. Last week, I did an urgent run down to the valley to pick up my gravely ill mother-in-law and brought her to our small community hospital. Admitted through the emergency room with aspiration pneumonia and congestive heart failure, she was at death’s door. Bob took over her care in the Intensive Care Unit and literally saved her life. Bless his heart, Bob called to check on her.

As a… Continue

From the Chalice to the Blade

Writing is such a sacred feminine process for me. Like a chalice I opened to conceive Mary's story in passionate waves of emotion, then months and months of editing, honing a rough draft into a fine gem became a very long gestation. Now I am in labor. My book is finished, but it is not yet born. This presale period is like being in transition. I want to push, but it's too early. And my labor coach has yet to arrive. Marketing seems like a masculine process. Must I turn my chalice upside down… Continue
