To my daughter, Gabby, who shines truth and light, and is the essence of the pure joy of life. I love you more than the world is round.

My life has been filled with people who have fueled my soul and taught me that life is not about the destination, but the journey of experiences that lead us to the finish line. These people have reminded me to just sit back and enjoy the ridebecause its the moments we experience along the way where real joy lives and life happens.

The first of those people are my mom and dad: two people who (thankfully) gave me an unconventional upbringing. Because of you, I grew up always knowing I could be anything, do anything, and become anything my soul desired. My dad was the one who reminded me that I am a bird worthy and deserving to be free and fly. He taught me that in life the beauty of the rose is not in the color of the petal but in the prick of the thorn. He taught me that if I follow my passion, my truth, and my love, everything I need in life always follows. My mom taught me that in life everything happens for a reason. She has always been there when my heart hurt most. And through her intuitive gifts, I learned mine. She is the woman I laugh with until I cry, and whom I seek out when I need to go home.

The two other people in my family who have been instrumental in my journey are my Grandma and my daughter. My Grandma, who passed away last summer at the beautiful age of 96, taught me that life is worth living, and that there is always enough in life to love and be inspired by. She taught me to enjoy every experience life has to offer, and keep moving forward. My daughter, Gabby, continues to show me unexplainable love, light, and truthits through her laugh, her hugs, and her inspirational acts of joy that Im reminded of the purity of life.

I have a number of amazing friends who have stood by my side while I began the journey that opened the doors to this book:

Jennifer Hovelsrud, who reviewed every word of the manuscript, encouraged me every step of the way, and always believed that this message was going out to the world by the millions. Her intellect, love, friendship, and willingness to take on this project as a reviewerduring a time of life when adding just one more thing seemed virtually impossiblehelped make this book what it is today.

Maureen Klehr, who reminded me to write this book for the people of the world who are ready for the knowledge, and that every word written will speak to every person to whom the words are intendedperfectly.

Jason Thomas, a.k.a. JACK, who has been my friend and unwavering supporter through the most audacious times of my life thus far. Always there willing to do whatever it takes to make shit happen, and never doubting anything I believed in, no matter how outrageous the rest of the world thought I was.
