INTERTWINED
HUMBLE JOURNEYS ON THE PATHWAY TO GOD
Sneak Peek......
What do a waitress on Long Island, an interior decorator in New Jersey, and an attorney in the Hudson Valley of New York have in common? They share a spirituality based on their beliefs in God and shaped by unique encounters with the unseen. Their deeply moving experiences are relayed like fireside stories of days gone by.
The waitress, Tracy, spends her days with the knowledge that spiritual beings exist all around us. Her amazing relationship with God began in childhood when she was first visited by spirits while her family members slept. Over time, messages were relayed to her through dreams and visions, and before long she realized she "just knew" incredibly private facts about strangers, facts about which the individuals themselves remained unaware. To this day, she struggles to determine which of her dreams and visions to act upon. Her dilemma heightens when her dreams turn out to be harbingers of future events.
Laura is Tracy's older sister. She is a married mother of two whose skills as an interior decorator mesh easily with her desire to achieve balance in all aspects of life. The depth of her spiritual journey results from her recognition of God's willingness to reach out to us all. She's pieced together bits of information, like cosmic clues to a crossword puzzle, to decipher divine messages and propel her journey forward. Not only has she witnessed, first hand, her sister's involvement with the unseen, but she also has been privy to her daughters' communications with deceased love ones.
Cheryl, a lawyer, gratefully acknowledges how her survival was the product of divine intervention and how it also altered her spiritual barometer. She ponders the interplay among living beings, works of the Holy Spirit, and God. Her questions provoke long conversations and insightful perspectives; ones which lead to meditations on the role each of us play in the lives of others and on the spiritual forces which motivate everyday behaviors.
Each experience provided Tracy, Laura and Cheryl a unique opportunity for emotional and spiritual growth. As they shared their stories with one another their journeys intertwined and energized them to move forward toward enlightenment.
All three women believe human souls are predisposed to seek God and by so doing, enter and remain within the pathway to Him. They hope to encourage readers to affirmatively seek God in their daily lives, and to be open to His many methods of communication.

On A Personal Note
Have we truly been touched by God, or are we crazy? That is the question you will have to determine for yourself.
I can’t say for sure, but prior to writing the book, I may have more readily doubted the premise we now firmly rely upon – that divine communication comes in many shapes and sizes and is readily available to those who fearlessly open their souls to God.
Through the book writing process I began to know Laura's perspectives on God, religion, life, love, and death. I needed to understand these things in order to properly chronicle her experiences and sentiments. More often than not, I spent hours reflecting on her thoughts. Through our many discussions, Laura asked me to view otherwise unexplainable events from the perspective of a person who has lived with unusual and unexplainable events. I asked her to view things from a more logical perspective. Our divergent perspectives initially proved to be quite the challenge. I needed to fully comprehend what Laura wanted to convey in order to accurately relay her stories. Laura knew what she wanted to say, but never put herself in the position of having to fully articulate her thoughts in order to make someone else understand them. That was another challenge; to express her sentiments so that you, the reader, could easily understand and relate to them. The process was long, inspiring, and, I believe, successful.
Equally important, although my encounters may not be as intriguing as Laura’s and Tracy’s, they happened, nonetheless. I sought to dovetail the things I experienced with the teachings of the Catholic Church. My concerns led me to a priest who readily acknowledged that unusual and seemingly illogical encounters are not adverse to Catholic beliefs; neither are spiritual awakenings. I now more openly embrace the role of the unseen and the existence of divine ‘puzzle pieces’ in my life.
Lastly, throughout the book-writing process, Laura and I constantly reminded ourselves that the book itself is actually a small, but important, portion of our spiritual journeys. We realize that our journeys continue daily, and will do so throughout our lives. We remain grateful for each opportunity we are given to know and serve God.
As for our experiences and conclusions, who is to say whether we are right or wrong? Isn’t that what faith is all about?
