Hello and welcome to this site. : )
It is my mission to significantly increase the peace, happiness, and health of myself, others, and the world by learning, applying, and teaching the correct principles and tools that lead to such, and assisting others in this process.
This has not always been my conscious mission. Many years ago my mission was just to survive the extremely miserable existence the I was living. I was very depressed and suicidal and I could not see a way out. But then I experienced a miracle, and then many more miracles followed.
I was instructed by a Spiritual Source to write a book about what I had experienced and what I had learned. I argued with the Spiritual Source, stating that I didn’t know anything about writing a book, but I was encouraged and driven to do it anyways. I was told that there were many people waiting for this book and the help that it would provide for them. After struggling for several years, this book is finally finished.
This book is called, The Six Steps of Forgiveness: How to Heal from Large and Small Traumas for Increased Peace and Happiness.
It can be purchased from Amazon.com Link: bit.ly/IncreasePeaceNow
It is my hope that many people will make the time and effort to benefit from this hard-earned, life-transforming knowledge, and thus enjoy (as I have) a profoundly better life.
Peace and Happiness to you and to us all,

Forgiveness: Your Health Depends on It
Conflict doesn’t just weigh down the spirit; it can lead to physical health issues. But these steps from a Johns Hopkins expert can help you move toward forgiveness—and better health.
Johns Hopkins psychiatrist Karen Swartz offers a good reason to forgive.
Whether it’s a simple spat with your spouse or long-held resentment toward a family member or friend, unresolved conflict can go deeper than you may realize—it may be affecting your physical health. The good news: Studies have found that the act of forgiveness can reap huge rewards for your health, lowering the risk of heart attack; improving cholesterol levels and sleep; and reducing pain, blood pressure, and levels of anxiety, depression and stress. And research points to an increase in the forgiveness-health connection as you age.
“There is an enormous physical burden to being hurt and disappointed,” says Karen Swartz, M.D., director of the Mood Disorders Adult Consultation Clinic at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Chronic anger puts you into a fight-or-flight mode, which results in numerous changes in heart rate, blood pressure and immune response. Those changes, then, increase the risk of depression, heart disease and diabetes, among other conditions. Forgiveness, however, calms stress levels, leading to improved health.
Can You Learn to Be More Forgiving?
Forgiveness is not just about saying the words. “It is an active process in which you make a conscious decision to let go of negative feelings whether the person deserves it or not,” Swartz says. As you release the anger, resentment and hostility, you begin to feel empathy, compassion and sometimes even affection for the person who wronged you.
Studies have found that some people are just naturally more forgiving. Consequently, they tend to be more satisfied with their lives and to have less depression, anxiety, stress, anger and hostility. People who hang on to grudges, however, are more likely to experience severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as other health conditions. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t train themselves to act in healthier ways. In fact, 62 percent of American adults say they need more forgiveness in their personal lives, according to a survey by the nonprofit Fetzer Institute.
