My first job after earning my Master’s Degree in Social Work was working with blind children and their families. It was my supervisor in that position who introduced me to guided meditation and the metaphysical church that would give me the foundation for the work I do today. Interestingly, as I was learning to close my eyes and “see” the world beyond vision, my clients were also teaching me to see a world beyond the physical eyes. So it is not only an honor to be a guest on author Stephen Kuusisto’s blog, Planet of the Blind, it is also very fitting. Professor Stephen Kuusisto, who has been blind since birth, is the author of “Eavesdropping: A Memoir of Blindness and Listening” and the acclaimed memoir “Planet of the Blind”, a New York Times “Notable Book of the Year”. He has also published “Only Bread, Only Light“, a collection of poems from Copper Canyon Press. Recognized by the New York Times as “a powerful writer with a musical ear for language and a gift for emotional candor,” Steve has made numerous appearances on programs including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dateline NBC, National Public Radio and the BBC. I can completely relate to Stephen when he writes “The world is a surreal pageant. Ahead of me the shapes and colors suggest the sails of Tristan’s ship or an elephant’s ear floating in air, though in reality it is a middle-aged man in a London Fog rain coat which billows behind him in the April wind.” Sometimes we need to close our eyes, or shift our perspective to truly see the...

Hello and welcome to Day 8 of my Virtual Book Tour. It is interesting to me that Day 8 also falls on the 8th of January! I have recently become very fond of the number 8 as it represents to me the infinity symbol. Several people have asked me why I shifted the direction of the infinity symbol in the image on my book cover to look like a figure 8. I can only tell you.. because Spirit directed me to. I have been using the infinity sign in my healing work for some time now and recently in meditations I have been directing people to visualize an infinity sign (or figure 8) running from the base of the spine to the top of the head crossing at the heart center. This visualization has a very powerful healing effect on the people who use it. So it is perfect that today’s stop on the virtual tour includes You, Me and My Dupree Knee ~ Lessons in Transformational Healing with Heidi Dupree. Heidi is the author of The Other Medicine That Really Works. As an author, energy healing therapist, holistic nurse, and Certified Traditional Naturopath, it is Heidi’s passion to be a conduit of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing for others. Her mission to challenge how we think of medicine. In today’s blog post, Heidi interviews me about Enchanted: One The Portal To Love, asking about ego and surrender along with several other interesting questions.

Are you enjoying this Virtual Blog Tour? I am having a great time! So much Magic in the air! It feels like Christmas is being extended! On New Year’s Day I offered a webinar called “Peek Into 2013” in which I brought forth messages from Isis and Magdalene. The Message was that this is the year of the Goddess, a time in which the heart will open and bring harmony into our relationships. (If you missed the live webinar you can listen to this recording.) It is the Divine Feminine that united me with the host of today’s stop on the virtual tour. MariahInanna Jonas is a Spiritual Life Coach and Intuitive Healer with over 25 years in the study of Energy Medicine and the Power of Grace. She is an Ordained Minister and her intent is to assist others into stepping into their own power and living their best lives. MariahInanna brings forth the Message of the Divine Feminine through the Goddess Inanna. Her message of love is much in alignment with the messages in Enchanted One: The Portal To Love. In today’s blog post, she shares her reflections and experience reading Enchanted One. I know you will enjoy this post and she will love to hear your feedback. If you’re free later today, please join me at 5pm EST ( 2PST) tonight as I am a guest on Connecting the Light with Host Mike Quinsey on BBS Radio Once again~ Be sure to enter the raffle each day for a chance to win an Amazon Gift Card and don’t forget about my special offer for following the virtual book...

One of the most delightful parts about being on a virtual book tour is the wonderful people I am meeting! Today’s stops are a perfect reflection of these beautiful connections. I first heard about Lori Deschene’s blog tiny buddha: simple wisdom for complex lives through my marketing supervisor at Redwheel and Weiser Publishing. She referenced Lori as a success story example. When I visited her website www.tinybuddha.com, I instantly fell in love with it! So you can imagine I was quite excited when Lori notified me that she had chosen my article on creating peace to be a post on her tiny buddha blog. I have to say after meeting Lori, she truly does embody the message of Love that is so evident in her website. Enjoy the Article and remember to leave a comment to let us know your thoughts. While you are exploring the Tiny Buddha website be sure to check out the Tiny Wisdom Ebook Series. They’re a great way to support you as you create Joy in 2013! Meeting Dr. Susan Allison, host of Empowered Healer Radio, was equally as joyful. I’m pleased to say I will be a guest on her program tonight at 5pm EST. In her first email to me, Dr. Allsion wrote “I already love your energy and resonate with your message” and I felt the same way. The synergy between us was instant and it felt like reconnecting with an old friend! I am sure that this show will reflect harmony between us and I look forward to our time together on air! Be sure to join us for what is...
