Inspiration

This Christmas, I posted an article on my website blog about the gift of a toy typewriter when I was 8 years old. Little did I realize I had set into motion writing. I have been inspired to use my mind and to research. My inspiration came from Ramtha, the Enlightened One and his academy of the mind, Ramtha's School of Enlightenment. From his teachings, I became inspired by Mary Magdalene and how little the world knows of her. I researched for a number of years before coming up with my first book about her. I am a Truthseeker and I rarely take anyone's word for a subject unless I have checked it out. Life is an inspiration and I love to laugh.
