Eighteen months later, she began to have unusual spiritual experiences and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Today she works to promote peace and healing in communities, fulfilling the vision she had in her extreme state.

Lauren,
Well done. It seemed like a great story. Gladly I met you in June at SAARA Training with Marjorie Yates, and there I bought your book. Can only think back to my teenage
trauma. Bil

Thanks for writing. I am glad you found the book helpful. I had no idea how powerful the writing and then publishing process (exposing myself) would be for me. Life has been an amazing journey. I wish you peace and joy on your path
