Here is Grace’s beautiful winning entry:

This summer I witnessed a small miracle in my tiny trench-composting plot. Every few days since the ground thawed, I’ve carried a five gallon bucket of fruit and veggie scraps out to the plot and buried them under just a few inches of soil. The soil has been turned again and again, and quickly the food scraps have vanished into rich black soil. Tomato, squash, and melon plants have popped up from the plot, volunteers they are called.

I’ve kept on composting, carefully avoiding the plants that I could identify, and they grew into sprawling robust specimens. The tomatoes began to drip with fruit, much more so than the tomato plants that I grew intentionally in pots. Often I’ve stopped just to awe at the little plot in all of its wild unplanned glory, wondering if it is producing watermelons or cantaloupe, it is difficult to tell just yet.

The composting plot has taught me a lesson about my souls journey here. It isn’t my well planned out attempts at anything that let my spirit shine through. My soul grows strong and bears fruit on the rich soil of my experience broken down by the heat of surrender. When I cry out to God, here is my anger, joy, bliss, mourning, gratitude, and

hurt, a presence springs forth. This presence grows fruit more luscious than my intentions alone ever could. All that I am here to do is to keep carrying the bucket to the garden and tending what grows.

Here is Shelly’s entry:

She laid quietly in her bed, surrounded by loved ones, motionless other than her breath that became our still point. Her life force worked diligently to release her from her physical existence into pure spiritual form.

Witnessing this rebirth of my mother in law was the most beautiful blessing I had ever experienced. How could I explain the overwhelming joy I felt inside? The ripple effect pulled me from the career and life I was familiar with in search of greater purpose.

Years later, a childhood friend showed me how she could be delightfully painful as she fought a terminal disease. Cradling her in my arms as her spirit gently lifted away, I vowed to joyfully grieve.

Months later, our angel dog walked us step by step through her final days. She taught us how to use our hearts as a guiding light to eliminate all fear which allowed for a passage that resonated with her soul. Then in a reciprocal twist, this gift of love returned to our hearts, infused with our grief and filled us with boundless joy.

Joy can be embraced in this phase of life. When in alignment, we can experience the deepest celebration of our souls. It is a tremendous honor to empower other beings in this way and then to graciously accept their final gift.

You are here to share experiences of being here. We gave you this message through the veil of the dream world many moons ago. You heard our message and have been sharing your experiences with others. Now we ask you to reach out further and share your gifts with the greater world. Your writing style has a way of relating to everyday people while also touching on the spiritual oneness with nature, the universe God. Share the beauty you see that exists here and share the beauty you see that exists within the world of imagination. Weave together your life experiences, your inward and outward journeys, imaginary worlds and the lessons you’ve learned from each. Let the

people, places, and things you come across be your canvass to draw from, adding colors of creativity and universal truths to help paint beautiful pictures with your words. We are so very grateful that you’ve opened up to writing as a way of life. Let the wisdom from your writing mentors guide you through the process and help with any challenges you may have.

We believe with every breath you take and every word you write you are living your life’s purpose. We believe that through your writing, the river of your life is meeting with the ocean of your dreams. Your dreams are big, beautiful and bold and sharing your stories with the world is the key to making those dreams come true.

Namaste, Your loving Soul and guides.

From: First Name: Susan

Last Name: Sinclair

“Come further up and further in!” I’ve been following the call of this C.S. Lewis quote since my first reiki attunement, and its message is the heart of my newfound life path. I’ve experienced the Divine working in new ways I would never have imagined: a telepathic courtship; the gift of “dark” reiki energy that is nevertheless profoundly holy; new insights into the nature of Light and Dark and spiritual warfare; communication with animals, crystals, fairies, angels, and other galactic beings.

Now it is my purpose to summon others to “come further up and further in” to the mystery and beauty of the Divine in the cosmos and in themselves, through my gifts of music, teaching and healing. I know I have books to write, songs to compose and perform, stories to tell, healings to give—all to help people draw closer to the Creator and become who they are meant to be.

The rest of the quote states, “the further up and further in you go, the bigger everything gets.” It has been a powerful truth in my life, and it will be my joy to open the way for others into this same spaciousness of unfolding Divine reality. I look forward to being one of a great multitude of friends journeying together, “further up and further in.”

From: First Name: Toni

Last Name: Baumgartner

About a year ago, my original purpose was complete and I was given the choice to go or to stay. I remained. Things important to me mattered not, unhealthy relationships were gently released and my oh-so-important career in now passing on. In visiting with my soul, I was told to continue to create, that books are to come through me, and that I am curious so learn new things then teach others so they open their doorways of being. Do not be afraid; heal those who are drawn to you, and to love.

From: First Name: Barbara

Last Name: Litchfield

My soul knows what I do not. Each day I seem to “know” less but experience “the more.” When I let go of all pretense and do the healing work I know I was meant to do, my soul feels fulfillment.

I’ve worked with many clients but the one that resonates with me the most is that of “Gerry.” Gerry is a vibrant father, husband and talented software engineer. Everything seemed to be going his way until surgery. He came to me post surgery with severe pain, herniated discs, numbness in his left arm and leg and eventually the inability to walk. It was also discovered that he was experiencing seizures.

How could I possibly help this man? I did what I knew to do through the Healing Touch Program but mainly I listened. My soul “heard” frustration, anxiety, depression, and extreme frustration. He was going through what St. John of the Cross calls, a Dark Night of the Soul. When I suggested this to him and shared some of my own story he began to see his life in a different way.

Over time Gerry began to enjoy his sons more. They invited him to play games with them. They became more considerate of his feelings and the frustration he was feeling lifted. He and his wife became closer as he realized it was OK to depend on another. He shared this, “you know, it’s good that this happened. Don’t get me wrong, it sucks that I’m in this wheelchair, but I’m learning so much. I feel more compassionate for people who will always be in wheelchairs.”

Although this is a continuing story, I have a knowing that the witness and healing I offer has helped him along this difficult journey. Mysoul just knows this to be true.

From: First Name: Tammy

Last Name: Taylor

I am one of a collective soul group whose core purpose is to teach there is no egoIsoul divide only diverse vibrational frequencies in form. We reframe this perceived duality by gently calibrating the father/son/Holy Spirit trinity into egoIsoulIcosmos consciousness.

Spirituality in a quantum reality necessitates comprehension of egoIsoul communication. In this endeavor, I commune with the ego: Tammy Taylor.

Through our digital presence and public appearances, we help others understand key elements of emotional communication from the ego to the soul (i.e. emotional identification and creation), and how to develop soul intuition (know what you know and emotional alchemy) in a process we call “egoIsoul communication”.

We are passionate about teaching how ego’s denser vibration confirms divinity in all planetary life which–through experience–teaches us we are: 1) manifested cosmic material; 2) experiencing certain vibrational wavelengths (i.e. time, space, vortices);

3) in coordination with various frequencies (egoIsoul communication, etc.).

Tammy and I have shared this message through broadcast interviews with some of the best minds in New Thought/New Science, self-produced podcasts, videos and blogs since 2006.

It is our hope it clarifies the site as an egoIsoul resource and presents a standard way of talking about the spiritual-material world that can be used to effectively convey our message.

Thank you for asking the question and reading my essay in consideration of communing with you too!

To illuminate. That’s the main reason why I feel compelled to write. To illuminate the light in a person’s heart and soul so they can see the goodness and beauty of who they really are.

I’ve always identified with Rudolph the reindeer guiding with the red light of his nose, finally realizing his purpose of illuminating so that others received their gifts and felt happiness. In my case, I would love writing and giving ‘gifts’ through words.

It would be a joy to write human interest stories, giving a voice to other people who would normally go unheard. Writing books that simply create happiness and warmth in the reader would also be great.

From: First Name: Rachel

Last Name: Scott

I am on the path of inner wisdom, inner love, and inner trust. I hear a voice calling to me down the path, leading me deeper into the heart of who I am. I seek awareness, intimacy, love, and connection. Eventually I realize there is no “right” path to take or gold at the end, and the voice calling to me was within me all along. I begin and dancing along the path, knowing that the love and bliss I was seeking, is what I already am. Others see me and join in, singing and dancing along with me, eventually veering onto their own paths. Their path and mine are perfection and that’s what I’m here to share.

From: First Name: Zora

Last Name: Harvie

I believe my souls tune in this life is to be a way shower, a soul light. A helper in my way illuminating the path to self love and god. That mysterious path that we are called to take at some pivotal time, filled with unimaginable power that allows us to open up to our own beauty, joy and gift to share. The only way I know to do this is in sharing my own journey, the gifts I found in the crevices of my own pain, how I found my way to my

beauty and heartway. My souls journey continues and now wishes me to speak my truth with the written word. This to me is an enormous fear me, as my head tells me who would want to listen to my words. In the writing my story I will be freeing my soul. The exhilaration I feel in having written these words is the very thing my soul wants others to feel and believe, that hey if an ordinary girl from the most remote city in Australia can find her truth and share it then it really is possible for absolutely anyone. And bless my soul you’re reading them now, miracles do happen.

From: First Name: Helene

Last Name: Anderberg

We were silenced already at a very young age. The children of the children after the World war ll.

They were going to build up a new world and children who obviously could not work yet, became insignificant. We could not be allowed to stand in the way for this greater purpose. The horror of the war should never ever be allowed again.

Only that it moved into our homes. When the doors were closed. Collectively, we all let the curtains down so nobody would see OUR dirty laundry. Children abuse both verbally and physically became standard.

Happy family was here!

We thought we were alone. Different than the other Happy Families, different than our neighbors, different than our classmates and nobody were allowed to crack the picture of The Happy Family.

Denial was key…

This story has got a life of it´s own and is asking for wings. Knowing that we can´t heal what we can´t feel…I am one of the children but also one of the parents.

I am ready to put my laundry on the table for all of us. Knowing that to go to a place of unconditional love – we need to love all that is. All….the scabies and the butterfly.

A wave of seeking is happening all over the planet. A knowing birthed within our wounded hearts – independent of culture, rase, upbringing – that we are all connected as One Being. Here I am. Love is conquering fear.

From: First Name: Korinn

Last Name: Hawkins

I can feel it. My soul wanting to jump out and go in every different direction and simultaneously just sitting there centered in my being. As I open myself to the flow I see myself again, my soul purpose like the body of a spider. Different arms reaching out to the world experiencing different gifts. A mother, a writer, a link to peace. A healer, a seer, and a light of love to others. But at the body of all of that threading and spinning of life is me, just simply me. That’s where my deepest purpose lies.

With good heart and good deed it seems that’s where anyone’s purpose lies, because the truest purpose anyone came here to fulfill… is life. My multifaceted purpose is clear at different times and in different ways as my life unfolds, but the central purpose is always the same. I know that I am at home anywhere, when I am at home within myself. From that divine inner space three things are decided: I am to know me, to be me, and to share me. It doesn’t have to get any more complicated than that. In being myself in the truest sense possible I will teach others to be expressions of their soul as well. Oh the webs we will weave together, if I could only see them now in their highest potential. A true sight of the intricate masterpiece that is life, glistening in the light of God’s divine hand.

From: First Name: Bindiya

Last Name: Arondekar

I am here to revive ancient wisdom in an intuitive and creative manner by relating to others with personal experiences. I love to help people discover their Spiritual gifts and their ability to be connected to Love at all times. I dream of a world where all actions proceed from the space of Love. The fire in my soul is all about Love – transforming painful experiences and confusion into an energy that uplifts a person to his own Divine consciousness. Currently I utilize the Tarot as a transformative tool and through it I have realized the power that words can have over people when expressed from the authentic Self. This is a most loving exchange of energy that gets me deeper into wisdom as the person gets clarification on his concerns. In the future I see myself as an Energetic consultant who offers people customized solutions according to their deeper healing needs and current frame of receptivity. I am interested in writing a Transformative Blog where I can express the inner wisdom that I gain while connected to my Higher Self. There is much to share. I want to pen down a number of Self Help, Spiritual and Fantasy books and also dream of beginning a Spiritual magazine. I want to write seminar and course material on the topic of emotions especially for youngsters and couples. This may seem a lot but it is an inner knowing that I will be guided along the way to manifest my vision.

From: First Name: Sarah

Last Name: Silbert

Throughout my childhood, my parents fought, throwing words like stones, sometimes like grenades. I felt as if I, myself, were bleeding when listening to them. I couldn’t stand it and always ran into the woods that flowed green and quiet behind our city block. There, I would write my own story. I described trees that reached large dark arms over my head into clouds, soft animal motions in the underbrush of dead leaves and ivy, the cabin I knew I’d build some day in a more expansive wilderness. I have always written. Writing is my release. It is also my source of insight, connecting me to hidden parts of myself and through me to a larger body of humanity. The storylines I draw illuminate truths we all share, some ragged and violent, some hopeful and buoyant.

In this unity, writing is my teacher; it is my understanding. It is a portal through which I step inside myself to reach beyond myself. Writing defeats my loneliness. Sometimes late at night, in my cabin’s small circle of lamplight, my voice feels small, like a thin line lost in a vast, white box. Despair haunts me. Yet if I choose to look closely, I can see, ever so slightly, the box thrums; I can sense a growing vibration. The energy inside it is expanding: will it burst free into a larger matrix of others’ hearts?

Writing promises me YES. It is faith; it is the cabin I built with my own hands in these Green Mountains of Vermont. It is why I do not give up.

From: First Name: Jules

Last Name: Santella

My soul is doing backflips with anticipation as it yearns to help others find their healing source within, yet my physical self is still in stages of infancy on its journey toward healing. I strive to find that balance and guide those who need it through the pain and out the other side, where there is relief from those challenges.

When I finally let the words flow, they seem to come from another realm. It’s as if my own hand is not writing those words that spill effortlessly onto the page, or even my own conception of an idea. Instead, a guiding influence appears to exist above me somewhere, yet simultaneously from the deepest place within my soul. Writing comes from a source so abundant, beyond the dimensions that we can fathom. This is the synchronicity I seek with this special course.

I started a blog entitled “We Heal Now”, and have always had the plan to reach out to someone who might need that support to lift them up and let them know that they are not alone. Maybe that is my intended foundation.

I hope to share some insight and I feel strongly pulled toward energy healing as well as concepts that linger just a little bit off of our standard realm of thinking. My dream would be to discover enough intriguing material to share in book form and instead of putting it on my “to do” list, to just DO and let it unfold as it should…

From: First Name: Jim

Last Name: Curry

Both in my career (mathematics) and in my life, I find the greatest utility comes from examining beginnings, foundations. Too often, something quite simple is chosen poorly or awkwardly near the start, and the ripple can be very limiting. I correct these things and stop the adverse ripple before it can propagate. This seems to be my purpose, my destiny.

From: First Name: Jonna

Last Name: Peterson

The voice of my soul has been begging to be put into words for some time now. I’ve put it off due to not finding the perfect words, when ironically the soul does not communicate through words at all. Instead, the soul understands feelings such as joy, pain, passion, hurt, and peace. I learned this lesson while recovering from my third chemotherapy session. Unable to speak, struggling to communicate I learned that the soul could keep me company and embrace my inner being. There is a message with this that has been nudging me to write ever since. I keep questioning, “why me”, and “what do you want me to write”? But…my soul knows…oh yes, the soul knows and it wants to

From: First Name: Debbie

Last Name: Bitney

My soul’s purpose is to achieve forgiveness and bring the energy of that miracle into the world. I would list the torments and traumas that I endured if I thought it would somehow add value to my purpose; but it doesn’t. It’s enough to know that I have suffered. How else would I know forgiveness? The experiences were necessary. They include memories that I brought with me into this life from other lives and brand new experiences from this one.

There is no shortage of perceived losses, injustices and pain. There is nothing special or unusual about my story. Anyone who has identified with this world, as being in it and of it has the same story to tell. It is the blessed soul that finds the way out. Even though escape is simple, it should not be confused with easy. I identified completely with my ego and my roles in life. I now get it that they are the false idols we are warned about. Who knew? I thought I was doing everything right – well, most everything. I kept a few judgments and attitudes separate from Him, as if he wouldn’t notice and I wouldn’t be accountable. Those things were exposed one by one and now I have nothing left to hide. I am grateful for the guides who walked me through the most difficult lessons and I pray that my growth contributes to their goal. After all, they told me they need all the help they can get.

From: First Name: Susan

Last Name: Minyard

I am nobody and I am every person who ever lived and was conscious enough to say something about it all. I have seen wars and disease and hatred and yet believe more in love than ever. Only an innocent can hold this yin and yang and that is who I am, an innocent who holds our present human condition in great affection. To a broken-hearted

middle-aged woman whose family was killed years ago, a strange visitor comes and witnesses as a ranch full of ordinary men and women love her and help her heal. To an estranged daughter, renovating her deceased mother’s cottage with the help of her mother’s friends brings understanding and acceptance. The characters commune with me and allow me to walk with unusual innocence into the events which have shaped

them and held them, suspended, until I arrive. To these characters I bare my soul. What to do about my experience of writing has been the burning question for many years. But it was the wrong question to ask. In the end, I had to lose all my money and many possessions, move constantly, live out the question until I was able to turn to love for real people, the person in front of me, to again find myself and know my value to others. Now, I believe I can complete my novels; now, I believe I can publish.

This is adoration, a love of devotion to love.

From: First Name: Anita

Last Name: Kalnay

As I write this, I am looking at my business plan of last year, which looks like it has been through the wringer washer. I don’t even feel like the person that wrote it and it is only less than one year old. In that time I have successfully designed 9 new natural perfumes including the webcopy; hired a graphic artist to produce the labels at great cost; employed my friend to photograph the collection and launched the site on line. In the meantime, as a self-employed Aromatherapist, my friend and I started a new spa room where I travel to do massages once a month and in my spare time I travel to be part of Kundalini Yoga workshops as a healing facilitator.

The question in the back of my mind is – “how am I going to tie all this together?” Although I have written 53 full size journals, I started a blog and went completely blank after page one. I love writing and it is all I can do to keep up with the words, concepts, tips and ideas that consistently flow through me. Everything always goes back to ‘inspirations to guide the soul home’. I own and have read all of Cindi’s books and I am gifted in Imaginative Healing. I would love to create an imaginative product that uses imagery and plain everyday language to present concepts of higher consciousness and tools for joy-full living.

From: First Name: Chris

Last Name: Thomes

Many times I pause to see the whispering voice from inside speaking out to effect the smallest parts of life. As we strive to move the big picture we must understand that it is the smallest movements that will long be our legacy. The pureness of that light when nothing is forced or needed to be proven. The silence of listening and seeing the source of the emotions from those surrounding us. And sharing the whisperings of our soul to effect the few will keep us humble as we recall those that have shared our path.

From: First Name: Catherine

Last Name: Bender

My purpose in life is to gently expose people to their inner voice and higher self. I am here to provide for others a safe and open opportunity for them to explore a new and potentially uncomfortable, realization of themselves and their life choices in a nonjudgmental way. With my open heart and compassion for others I have been using my voice to do this. It is my wish to open people to their true heart not only for themselves but also for the people in their communities. I want to inspire that we are all- man, animal, the environment- are all inner-connected.

Each time I am able to ignite a small flame within a person with the desire to learn more and to look deeper inside themselves it is rewarding to see that person grow emotionally and spiritually. I feel that I would be able to channel more guidance from my teachers, guides and angels if I were able to learn to not sensor myself. As a tactical person, I know that I personify messages when I can see them, feel them and “digest” them in written form.

I know that the wisdom that will come through to me in this writing course will help not only my own growth as a spiritual person and light worker, but also all the people I come in contact with throughout my varied day. I have asked the universe to provide for me to take this course.

From: First Name: Jean

Last Name: Ferratier

I believe that people are hungry to know about themselves. I feel my purpose is to facilitate that process. Using the synergy of all my educational and life experiences, I love helping people understand how the relationship between synchronicity and Sacred Contracts can reveal an inner dialogue with one’s soul and interactively aid in the discovery of their life purposes. I am a teacher who loves to learn and pass on information. Currently I do some consulting, writing, speaking. I constantly dig deeper into the mysteries of life and I would love to inspire and expand what I learn to a wider audience through the many communication opportunities that are available.

From: First Name: Michele

Last Name: Ketterer

The what-I-thought-I-had-to-say has changed. It has been turned upside down, dumped out in a million pieces. The book I thought was nearing some kind of completion now back at a new beginning—to be reframed by a greater truth. The assumptions and observations that seemed so smart before have been swept violently away.

A tidal wave came—death—and made one thing completely clear: that the only thing that ever really mattered was love.

It was the purpose in the beginning, the purpose at the end—and in the middle became obscured and lost in so many ways—the countless ways we allow ourselves to be tricked away from it.

This transformation in my own state of consciousness, in my own heart, is a sword that I have fallen on. This is the lesson—the truth at last—yet seemingly such a cruel one: arriving too late,and delivered, as it is, into the belly of a grief that seems insurmountable.

My predicament is this: I spent years allowing anger and resentment to grow in me. I lived with a man I wanted only to love, but became blinded and confused by the disease of alcoholism that covered his true essence. I wrote of our process, our problems, my agony. Suddenly he stepped off of this earth, and now I can see only our sweetness, our beauty, our bright, bright love. How ridiculous. We could have been there the whole time. I gave life to the darkness, increased its hold—when always before me was the choice. In each and every moment, I could have chosen love. This is always the choice. The only thing that matters. This is what is clear. This is what I now know.

This is what I know I need to say.

From: First Name: Ken

Last Name: Merhib

What am I here for? I think when we are children we gravitate to what that is automatically. Some will find it immediately. Some like myself will try many different paths and finally go back to it in their 40,s or 50,s. At age 48 I have just stepped on the path I think. Service to others – If you help people get what they want, you will have

EVERYTHING you want. I think at this point most are here to teach and serve others.

My purpose now at this time is to bring spiritual, enlightening, gifts to the area I live in and bring people together to share their different knowledge. By doing so I am also learning and teaching.

Not sure where this path will lead but I know I will be doing new things and constantly learning.

From: First Name: Paula

Last Name: Shaw

I am here to expand people’s understanding of loss and grief and to give them hope, combined with cutting edge tools that will enable them to know that their grief doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Loss and the resulting grief it creates are not just present when there has been a death. Loss is part of life from the moment we lose the

tranquility of the womb and enter the confusion and discomfort of birth. Loss is happening to us every day; it is far more ubiquitous than we think and grief is the normal, natural result of loss. Bottom line is that we are all grievers on one level or another.

But the good news is that we have amazing tools and techniques today that can help us process and heal grief rather than have it accumulate, fester and eventually lead to addictive behavior, physical illness and mental/emotional disorders. Through my own profound loss experiences, I discovered mind/ body processes that helped me to return to joyful living far more quickly than people would believe possible. It is my burning desire to share these tools and knowledge with others.

I love my counseling/healing work with grievers and I desire to take this information to a larger level through the book I write, the blog, and the resource based web site I develop, that will provide assistance for grieving people to help them get out of pain and heal as quickly and productively as possible.

From: First Name: Laura

Last Name: Kniffin

Have you ever tried to light a candle while a breeze is blowing? One must gently cup their hand around the match to guard the flicker of light until it can connect with the wick and burn on its own. This is my deepest purpose: to hold my hand around small flames and protect them while they take light. My specialty is tea lights. God set my inner radar to take great delight in small, simple beauties and pleasures. If I open to love, I can find them almost anywhere. We are all meant to shine our light in this world; sometime, we just need a little help getting the flame started.

My purpose is to work amidst darkness, decay, and trauma. I zoom to the places where little tea lights are present.

Softly and gently, I create conditions where people are safe to play with new possibilities and connect with their light.

I mirror back to them the beauty that they are so that they may have an expanded vision of their life, not only as struggle, but also as a beautiful act of creation in the world. My hands protect small flames while they take light and expand into love. As I learn to take care of my own small, but powerful inner tea light, I build more confidence in its capacity to do greatness in the world and I honor those who have held their hands up to protect my flame.

From: First Name: Ellany

Last Name: Kincross

I am an old soul. As an old soul who has walked the planet many times, I’ve come into this life with a big agenda. My agenda is to bring forth the wisdom I have to as many people as possible. I’ve set out on this agenda by doing hundreds and hundreds of psychic readings over the last fifteen years. Over the years, I have assisted other souls in understanding their journey. For many people, the journey of life is filled with questions, confusion and uncertainties. Along the way, I’ve helped people to understand why they chose the career they chose, why they married the person they married or why they let them go and why they aren’t ready to meet Mr. or Ms. Right and how they can get themselves to the right place. I have often considered myself a messenger who brings forth messages and wisdom to assist people with their lives. At Spirit’s direction, I recently completed writing a book about the journey to the right relationship. The book is about finding yourself while finding Mr. or Ms. Right. My book will accomplish another part of my agenda: to share my wisdom on a bigger scale. This class will deepen my connection with my soul and further the wisdom to bring forth to others.

I exist to allow the flames of my being. Waves of creation pulsate between heaven and earth. Mingling with flesh to gently and lovingly remind souls of purpose. Saturate LOVE. Saturate LOVE. Saturate LOVE.

From: First Name: Antonia

Last Name: Sachtleben

To overflow. I am here to overflow. What does this mean? It means to collect all my life force withing myself. Be centered. Be vibrant. And from this centered place of myself reach out and spread to others. A fountain can only fill the air and the surroundings with its refreshing coolness and nourishing water when it has gathered enough strength on its own to rise. That’s my purpose: Rise and nourish.

Last Name: moss

God has given me an unnatural abundance of Love for others. I can love the unlovable. I feel what they feel and know how to help. I have written a book about communication between drug addicts and their loved ones and run a support group called “higher ground”. All people have purpose and God loves us all.

Love and Light are here for the asking.

Inside me there has been a voice always, a kind of word music. I think music composers know what that means; they find rhythms everywhere. I didn’t recognize this music in the beginning. I liked words and their texture.

Sometimes I would say a word again and again because it sounded nice.

I was painfully shy; it’s hard to talk about it as it is in the past tense. So all the words remained in my head like some kind of potential waiting for a great cathartic moment to happen. Life happened and gradually I pushed myself out of the shell I had carefully pulled myself into. How long can the fire be doused? It’s always there- some kind of quantum mechanics throbbing inside. People woke me up and poets, breath control woke me up, my twins woke me up. And love did it for me- love of the English language. Love pushes you to your boundaries; so I teach English now to spread that love and I write as that is what I know best. I write for business and for self-expression. Writing is about so many things-being shy has been a stumbling block but it has been crucial in bringing to boil those pivotal thoughts. A writer is always writing, even when there’s no com or pen in hand. Subconsciously, you create all the time.

Your personality is the clue to where your soul wants to be, and my soul walks with the troubadour.

Four years ago I cracked open a rusty, old soul shell surrounding my being and was flooded with a stream of visual information about the life of Christ. The images were hypnotic and intoxicating and lasted about a week. When the river of energy faded, I was left with the profound weight of a book in my chest. Getting this book out of my

chest and into my typing fingers has been my single focus for the past three years. The knowing I received from this ‘soulquake’ was a deep understanding that the stories of the bible have been censored to within an inch of their lives (and ours). This censorship has hidden the full story of how to guide the human soul towards the next dimension of life experience beyond the masculine and feminine. It is my task to unknot the bondage of silent, invisible feminine wisdom that humanity has been suffering since the ‘chalice’ broke under the blow of the ‘blade’ centuries ago. Cyndi has been a life long teacher. I have read all her books (yes, even the big brown one!) and I directly reference her published works to inform my own writing. I would be thrilled to work with her again. Writing this book has been a financial hat trick for me and I have managed to live on a budget just big enough for rent and food without debt. A scholarship would be deeply honored with the highest gratitude.

Any adult survivor of childhood abuse and they will tell you that the question that has been plaguing them their entire life has been, “why did this happen to me”. My soul’s journey has evolved to this moment in time to try and help these survivors understand what abuse has meant to their life and has prompted me to write a manuscript entitled, My Soul’s Journey, The Blessing of Abuse and to teach a writing class called, Healing From Writing, an eight-week workshop devoted to understanding childhood abuse through the writing of your own spiritual autobiography in a safe place.

I admit to these readers how the shame and humiliation that one feels when abused had affected my relationships and choices in life because I was afraid to let people see who I really was for fear of rejection and pity, myself included and how I encouraged my insecurities with anger and bitterness at parents who didn’t have the ability to love me; somewhere along the line, it had become my identity and my crutch and I hid my flawed self from the world.

I offer hope by explaining that abuse was simply a tool or a theme in our lives for our higher purpose and understanding and I encourage them to bravely step into writing

their own story and provide spiritual guidance to help find the answer to their question. I am being led to write another manuscript for publication entitled, My Soul’s Journey, Experiences.

My soul leapt at the opportunity to describe her purpose here. “To love” she joyfully shouted. I have given her a voice and this is what she said. “My purpose is to love. This Love is who we are. What this love can do is amazing. This love can heal. It can repair nations. It can bring abundance. From my perspective there is only love.

As we live lives of pain and separateness we are cut off from this connection to pure love. This pain and hurt build more and more walls of separation. This gives energy to separateness and a need to be bigger and better than the person next to you. Life after life of this creates patters of struggle and suffering. The struggle becomes life.

This life is a far cry from our true self of pure love. As a soul residing in this body I am called to help. We all are. My path is to shine brightly to help lead the way. Other souls will see this light. These souls too will shine more brightly; their light will heal and break down layers of struggle. We are all going to know our true selves as love. I am one soul that knows this truth today.”

“Everything is perfect” is something a friend told me back in 2003 and initially had me wondering how she could say that. Somehow it must have rang true to my essence, because I kept hearing it in my head when going through a number of unpleasant experiences a few years later. It began to make sense as I looked back with my 20/20 vision and saw how much I had learned and that I had become a better person from each of those experiences. That message has integrated into my being. Knowing that we’re perfectly imperfect human beings allows us to experience situations that brings us growth.

If we can rid our vocabulary of the word “failure” and use the word “experience”

instead, then we change the energy behind everything we do to a positive energy. We inherently allow ourselves to grow instead of being stuck in failure. “Failure, right and wrong”, “negative and positive” are all things that we have learned to label our experiences with.

We need to remove those labels and trust that everything occurs just as it should. If we didn’t need the experience in our life, then it wouldn’t have happened. Trusting this process takes the sting out of difficult situations, because you will know deep within, that there is something in that situation for your growth. Your perspective on life itself will change. Aren’t we here to LIVE life?

It was 2004 when I felt the presence of beings of different kinds, spirits from different dimensions including spirit families I’ve met and never knew in this lifetime but it was these 3 beings in particular that kept on following me wherever I go and I called them ”

ghosts ” initially not knowing anything then. I kept on telling them to go away until they told me Daisy, you are on EARTH UNIVERSITY. I was stunned and they continued to say that you are all learning spiritual truths and it is time for you to share the spiritual wisdom to so many, to help them understand their own process as you

understand yours.

With this awakening came realizations of many sorts from understanding my own life and the people around me. I started doing readings and my

guides were my coaches. I witnessed transformation of people I read, healed from fear, grief, and shame. I saw how truth can really set us free. I want to share with others my god given gifts of spiritual wisdom for healing, understanding and most of all to assist for spiritual growth. As the guides say, Humans always say “Knowledge is Power”, Yes it is

but ” Acted knowledge is wisdom ” Knowledge is not enough, it is thru action that you learn and heal and move on, they say.

Just like being in school, spiritual wisdom comes in many levels/grades and need to

pass each level to go to the next and that is why we have come with different issues and understanding.

She laid quietly in her bed, surrounded by loved ones, motionless other than her breath that became our still point. Her life force worked diligently to release her from her physical existence into pure spiritual form.

Witnessing this rebirth of my mother in law was the most beautiful blessing I had ever experienced. How could I explain the overwhelming joy I felt inside? The ripple effect pulled me from the career and life I was familiar with in search of greater purpose.

Years later, a childhood friend showed me how she could be delightfully painful as she fought a terminal disease. Cradling her in my arms as her spirit gently lifted away, I vowed to joyfully grieve.

Months later, our angel dog walked us step by step through her final days. She taught us how to use our hearts as a guiding light to eliminate all fear which allowed for a passage that resonated with her soul. Then in a reciprocal twist, this gift of love returned to our hearts, infused with our grief and filled us with boundless joy.

Joy can be embraced in this phase of life. When in alignment, we can experience the deepest celebration of our souls. It is a tremendous honor to empower other beings in this way and then to graciously accept their final gift.
