Foreword
Reading Crystal Resonance , I loved its simplicity, warmth, rawness, and honesty.
I am a big fan of any resource that provides not only information but also the opportunity for others to learn new skills. I like the see, look, feel, and do method of learning and I especially like anything that can be easily implemented and directly applied. Anyone with an interest in crystals, aromatherapy, flower essences, healing, and the body/mind connection will enjoy this book. It has plenty of juicy information waiting to be savored and its an easy read.
Kerrys love and devotion of the Earth, herbs, and plants shine vividly through her pen. How could they not? Her mother grew herbs and enjoyed psychic connection; her grandmother both grew and gathered herbs and made her own herbal blends and creams; her great-grandmother brought her connection to the Elementals with her from Ireland; and her great-grandfather was a nurseryman and orchardist, to name but some. It is in the blood. She also has a fascination with Celtic and Druid History.
Kerry is widely read and has learned much from adversity and the School of Hard Knocks. Her desire to change, to adapt, and to grow, and learn from her mistakes and experiences has brought her to the door of a wonderful place.
Through guidance and a bit of push and shove from teachers over the years, Kerry has become a serious seeker and, through her study, has found a way to link valuable resources in a way that complements and synthesizes much of what she has learned. In the past decade, she has studied and completed many courses which I believe have fast-tracked her self-development, use of her skills, and ability to willingly share her knowledge. She has learned the difference between caring about, and caring for, and allowing.
I felt a yearning for nourishment and a deep inner feeling for nurturing as I was reading Crystal Resonance . I found myself wanting to get started, wanting to try out some of Kerrys combinations. It was as if the book was reaching out and telling me it was time to be at hometime to allow and time to yield; home being the internal inner mystery, far beyond the external, material me.
Be true to thine own self, there is a buried treasure waiting to be found within. It is time to be. The Alchemist is calling us home. And, at last, she has arrived.

Thanks and Appreciation
Heartfelt gratitude to all those family members, friends, teachers, and mentors who have contributed to my growth and, from time to time, walked with me along my spiritual and experiential path. I am grateful to all those who have taken time to share their talents, passions, and teachings, which have in turn informed, inspired, and facilitated my unfolding life experience. It has been a life rich in texture and experience and I would not have missed any of it!
The scenic route has been explored when I could have opted for the more direct one; I have been a traveler when I could have fast-tracked; I have hung on to mental and emotional pain when I did not know I could just let it go; I have reveled in the highs, savoring every last drop; but the rich tapestry I have woven is uniquely mine and has served me well because it has brought me here. Had I not been there, I could not be here; I love where I am, and bubble with expectancy about where I am heading.
Divine guidance, love, and inspiration constantly and unconditionally nourish, nurture, support, and sustain me; Spirit is ever present, flowing to me, through me, and from me, and I register my unlimited appreciation and gratitude for the awareness that I now have of it. The gifts are limitless, the freedom breathtaking, and the love and light strong, a beacon to bring me back to where I choose to be. I choose to live in the wonder of life: it is there that I thrive; it is from there that I can facilitate others being however they choose to be and all that they choose to be. We all shine so brightly.
I am also profoundly grateful for the unwavering, unlimited and unconditional love, patience, and support of my husband, Gary, who always encourages me to fly and never doubts that we can. I have been blessed to share this Life experience with him.

Introduction
We can never be sure where those first few moments of any new awareness will take us. My awareness of the synergistically combined gifts from Mother Earth has brought me home to a place of wonder, to that place where I feel a connection to Spirit. It is where I feel I belong and where I now choose to be.
