Her positive attitude to life's challenges has meant that whenever she's been hard-pressed, her needs have always been met when she's stuck to her strength of faith in the workings of spirit. The heart turns the feeling of love into an actual healing frequency, and she's seen its benefits demonstrated time and time again.

He reminds us that as evolving beings we are capable of much more than the world's religious institutions will ever admit—for spiritual growth is not dependent on one's having a religion.
