Opening the Gates of the Heart

Opening the Gates of the Heart: Images that Heal & the Stories Behind Them. 2nd Edition is evidence of the Divine at work in my life, as that force, through me, created a lovely book that is a tribute to the resiliency and beauty of the human spirit. It enhances your journey to more peace and joy, or helps you through a place of woundedness.

You come away from the experience of reading this book with feelings of hope, inspiration, and empowerment. It becomes a constant companion that soothes your wounds and hurts, and provides you with daily messages suitable for meditation.

You are initially drawn into the author/photographer’s world of fear where feelings of worthlessness and despair are acknowledged and expressed. You may relate to a time in your life when you felt the same way; maybe you feel that way now.

Very soon, you become cognizant, right alongside of CJ, of the presence of awareness on your part. You realize, as she did, that you have a choice to remain in despair or to take a journey of healing. If you choose to undertake your healing as you follow along with CJ’s journey, you begin to feel release. You begin to heal those areas of stuckness; from that, you experience peace.
