Your Story Is Your Medicine

This book is about how any of us can use the painful stories of our life as a vehicle for healing so that we can experience forgiveness, love, purpose and joy in a difficult world. I use my own unusual medical history as an illustration for how it can be done. I provide teaching for the reader so that they can, if accepted, find that their greatest wounding can be their greatest gift that re-unites them with their Divinity.
