Healing A Desperate Heart
A Memoir of Love, Compassion, and Forgiveness
There is a need for many of us to heal old emotional wounds. With love, compassion, and forgiveness this can be done. It may be that the one who forgives may benefit the most by coming to terms with what was, in order to break free of negative effects from the past. This book is about my personal healing journey to learn about forgiveness told from my unique point of view as a medium and past life regression specialist.
My healing journey was guided by spiritual influences. When it was done I knew I needed to share the lessons I learned to help others heal too. My story echoes that of many thousands of people throughout the world. Part of the lesson is to not try to change anyone. But you can change your reaction to what happened. The other person’s perception can be very different than yours. Honor who they are from their life’s experiences that shaped how they think and act. Acceptance can follow to help put things behind you. Stop re-running hurtful scenarios. Move on to better things. Take all of the damaged fragments in your memory and put them in your heart so you, your soul, will be whole again.

Excerpt from Chapter 1 of Healing a Desperate Heart:
During one of those summer visits [to Grandma’s], when I was twelve years old, Grandma’s sister Stella was visiting her. They were talking in the kitchen as I entered with a basket of clothes I had taken in from the clothesline. I folded the laundry, then paused to decide what I could do next. A thought drifted into my mind that I could sweep the steps going to the second floor. I passed them as I went to get the dustpan and a broom. I was about to start however, when I sensed Grandma and Aunt Stella were standing behind me. I turned to look at them with a questioning expression. Grandma said they had been watching me. I asked why. She said she had noticed that there was something different about me and that I thought differently than the other cousins. I didn’t understand what she meant. I told them I was helping because my mom said I should do so. She said she wasn’t talking about that. “You’re an old soul,” she said. I just listened. I had no idea what an old soul was and they didn’t explain. My guess is that when I got into the house with the laundry, she sent a telepathic message to me to clean the stairs. Once I picked up her thoughts, she knew I had the same “gift” she and her sister shared.
Grandma and her sister Stella were psychic mediums, and they considered it a gift from God, but no one in the family ever talked about this. The sisters kept it to themselves because they were told by the priests not to give messages. They didn’t know where they were getting their information from, but they were helping people, so they continued. I think Grandma didn’t want anyone to think she was influencing me in a way that was not acceptable – or even sinful – according to the Roman Catholic church.
