GRATITUDE

This book is dedicated to those of you that pushed me to be better, picked me up when I needed help, loved me for being my authentic self, forgave me, broke my heart, and supported my dreams. For without each and every one of you I would not have a story to tell.

Thank you Mom & Dad for all of the lessons you’ve taught me and for instilling the values of strong work ethic, courage and vigor.

My children, for giving me the gift of perspective.

My friends, for being diverse in your thoughts and inspiring me with your individual strengths.

Most importantly, I thank my divine guidance for granting me intuition, fearlessness, vulnerability, boldness, forgiveness, hope, faith and love.

SPECIAL THANKS

Special thanks to Carole Mann for showing me how to close my eyes and see.

PREFACE

Laugh at yourself, but never doubt yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don’t leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory. ~ Alan Alda

QUEEN OF FIRE

Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be. Jose Ortega y Gasset

F or years I’ve been encouraged by many without any connections to each other to tell my story. The time is now right to tell my truth, my perspective, and my experience. I’ve been labeled an avid learner, a work in progress, and a truth seeker for myself and about myself.

In my 39 years I’ve experienced great pain through the breakup of my nuclear family, abandonment, divorce and having my heart broken by the love of my life. I’ve also experienced even greater joy through the births of my son and daughter, love and support from my friends and family, so much laughter, travel, education, writing, dancing and singing, career success, falling in love and passionate relationships.

I am and always will be a work in progress because as many barriers as I’ve overcome, as many silver-linings as I’ve found in situations, and the many, many blessings I’ve had in my life I admit to having moments when I question the experiences. I am slowly learning to surrender, ask for help, and to be vulnerable.

As part of my spiritual journey this book serves as a resource to heal and to be better than my best. In tarot the Major Arcana card, Queen of Fire means confident, warm, intelligent, and graceful. She encourages you to stretch your wings and fly, don’t underestimate yourself and assert your independence and creativity. The Queen of Fire is me. It is my hope that this book will inspire others to live without fear and persevere despite what life hands you and take those moments in your life and turn them into positive learning moments.

BEING SPECIAL

I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her, she’ll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely. ~Kim Basinger

I am the first born daughter of two beings who instilled and unwavering work-ethic, independence and drive in me that has served me well throughout my life.

I was born feeling special. I am intuitive, clairvoyant and clairsentient. I have the ability to see visions and feel the emotions of others. I’ve spent 39 years embracing, understanding, and strengthening this gift. As a young child, I didn’t know the feelings I
