Introduction

The Purple Papers:
Their Stories and Mine

Long before I could understand why, voices have marched through my thoughts, an energetic force that flowed in and out of my consciousness. Emotions from people who had passed on, people I never knew, have always moved through my innermost being. I have come to accept that these feelings or messages are a part of my existence.

Much of my life has been an exploration of an interconnection with the spiritual realm, especially with those who have left the physical world. It seems that the departed are in a place where the ability to send messages and love is limitless.

In my teenage years, conversations, and then private sessions, about departed loved ones evolved. I found myself feeling something, wonderful and oddly joyful, moving through my entire being during these sessions. I automatically began writing bits and pieces of messages on tiny pieces of paper. As I adjusted to this experience, I learned to trust that what I was hearing and feeling was distinctly separate from myself. I did not initiate the messages of love and hope. They surprisingly sprung out from me, creating a poignant image for those needing the message.

The sounds. The visions. The energy. The messages never ceased and always amazed me. The silent voice found its tone, and often in the strangest of places, messages would arrive. Over the years, the voices grew stronger and multiplied inside me. I could no longer contain the messages solely in my mind and heart. The storytelling needed to be transcribed. The words had to be brought forth from what seemed like a cavernous cocoon of chatter. Each story needed to be honored and revered for the healing and love it brought.

Some years ago, after I had spent much time communicating with the other side, I sought spiritual support through prayer and meditation. I hoped to understand the enormity of and my responsibility to the energy and the messages. I was heard. Something happened. As I became transfixed by a calmness, a holy, serene voice entered my consciousness and said, Just write on purple paper, and after a very short pause, the story you hear.
