Events may appear to you to be accidents, but they are not.

Events may appear to you to be accidents, but they are not. They are part of a design that you have chosen. The vibrations of the energy will be relative to your choice as we energetically flow out into the Universe.

If you want to affect people who are far removed from you, you are going to choose within your life a drama that will seize your attention and the attention of other people. You can compare a life event to taking a pebble and dropping it into the water. If you drop a small pebble into a still pond you will produce vibrations and these vibrations will move peacefully and gently out into the water. If you take a big rock and you drop it into the pond you can see those vibrations change. The force of the rock will create waves that swell up and die down only to swell again with more force as they create their own energy.

You will choose dramas in life according to how many people you want to affect. You will get your own attention by the weight of the drama. The expansiveness of the drama that you choose will create your relationship to your life. Dramas are always collective choices. The energy of the individuals will be as both passive and active participants. If you are the one who is dropping the rock you are the active participant. If you are struck by the rock as the water is, you are an active participant. If you are the one that is affected by the waves you are a passive participant.

You have chosen to be a participant because by your involvement, you have the opportunity to change your consciousness level in life by the precipitating energy of the active participants. All of life is created by the interaction of relationships. Therefore, there can be multiple active participants and multiple passive participants, depending upon the nature of the event.

If there is an airplane accident and 86 people are instantly killed, you will have 86 active participants. If there are people that are killed in the crash on the ground, they too are active participants. The passive participants will include all of the people that are related to those that are killed. They will experience the strongest vibration and, therefore, are in varying levels of active and passive participation. The levels of vibrations will then spread out to all passive participants who felt an effect from the energy of the event and the deaths. This will include those who read of the incident, saw it on television, listened to an account being reported on the radio, or heard the story through a friend. Others may not know of the event and will have no effect at all from the energy. Do you see the effect and how the energy vibrations will change from a dramatic swelling to a smooth surface? Dramas are always opportunities to change from one level of conscious awareness to another. You change from one level of consciousness to another by an increased awareness of events and people, an openness to emotion and feeling, and by the exposure to new experiences.

Why I Write

I am frequently asked the question, "Why do you write?"  This is not a casual question for me. I had rheumatic fever when I was a child, which left my parents with the challenge to occupy my head and my hands more than it did to occupy a child who could go outside to run and play. My parents used up my time by teaching me to read, write, spell and to be happy doing that, so all of my life I have loved to write, read, think, and relate to people which still consumes a good part of my life today.

Spelling and learning were the games that we played during those years when I was sick with rheumatic fever. Penicillin had not been discovered yet, when I was living with rheumatic fever, so I had the full experience of pain and disease, which I coped with by reading books and studying Nature. I remain eternally interested in those same activities today.

When we spend large amounts of time reading, writing, and spelling, we learn the very basics of an education. Since I learned these activities early and with delight, reading, writing, spelling, and thinking were my favorite activities which remains true today. I am never overwhelmed when I think about writing my next book since I have written twelve books already in my active life as an R.N., mother, wife, and teacher. I have always chosen to work as an R.N. while doing everything else that I was interested in, in life. I have written books, raised six children, and worked as an R.N. for many years of my life. To me, I was living the "good life" as I stayed active and happy.
