Foreward by Ken Page

In February of 1993, I began to share my stories in a workshop I was conducting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I did so, first because I was asked, and second, because I was presenting a new body of material concerning the importance of moving out of polarity consciousness. Previously, I had used my life experiences as examples during private sessions, when it became apparent that many of my clients had sailed the same troubled waters as I had. I decided to write this book for the same reason. I realized that my life and my path, if I was able to document it and relate what I had learned, could save a lot of emotional wear and tear on others. It could also assist in providing understanding for what may be happening during this time of accelerated transition and change. These stories were also written so that my children, Ken, Amy, Tara, Kendra, Paris and Sanonda, and grandchildren, Tyler and Emily would understand a part of me and my life and would have the choice to explore other paths.

There are experiences in this book that I am not proud of. Many of the stories that follow reflect the hardship and pain that I either inflicted on myself or others in the name of some self-righteous belief in the victim/savior mentality. As a child, I had always dreamed of being a hero.

I now know that I created all my experiences in the name of a fantasy that was fabricated in my own mind. The hero inside me was for me alone. I have found that my old ideas and beliefs limited my creativity and I could only imagine within their confines. If I continued to hold onto these old ideas and beliefs, I saw that I would keep recreating the same patterns over and over. I finally learned to let go and trust myself. There are no victims, only creators.

In realizing that I am a responsible creator, owning and recognizing my creations, I found quietness in a world of pandemonium, timelessness in a world of chaos, and peace in a world where strife is running rampant. Maybe by sharing my stories, it will help me to ease my own disappointments, and my regrets concerning the painful situations that I have caused. I have played hard-I have left my energetic signature along the way for others to follow. I believe my stories can provide valuable guidance through the maze of emotions, sensations, physicality, and experiences, that we call life on earth. That's why I'm here. That's why I've come to this place. I'm a traveler, and this is my legacy to you.
