This article tells about the spiritual experiences I had when I was young which propelled me into the study of herbs and natural healing.  But, these spiritual experiences did a lot more than that.  They also prompted me on a journey of discovery that has lead me to numerous other skills and information that I believe people need to navigate through the difficult times that lie ahead.  As I am seeing the things that I was shown start to be fulfilled, I realize that I have a responsibility to share what I know, not as a message of doom and gloom, but as a message of hope.  Because I've not only been shown some of the dark things that will shortly happen in our society, I've also been shown what I can do about it.  This article marks the beginning of my commitment to start sharing (as Paul Harvey used to say) "the rest of the story..."

Recently, a long time friend of mine sent me a letter.  She was diagnosed four years ago with uterine cancer.  This letter is a message of hope because she has discovered the most important aspect of healing from any serious illness, which is this—none of us know how long we have to live.  At some point in our lives we have to make peace with death and only when we do can we really begin to live.  With her permission I'm sharing what she wrote to me, hoping it will be an inspiration to others facing serious health issues.
