Receiving encouraging letters from a devoted friend is nourishing and restorative, especially when feeling down. A bridge from illness to hope, from fear to love, from isolation to support, Dear One carries readers through simple, one page processes. Speaking directly to their inner knowing empowers them, reminding them of Who They Are and the enormous healing power available once they open to it. Unconditional acceptance and love melt defensiveness, restoring calm.
The universal principles underlying Dear One apply to other life issues as well. Dear One comforts, touches the heart and uplifts as it illuminates a path toward wholeness.
In 1994, Gwen invited her 80-year-old widowed father to move from Pennsylvania to California to live with her. They bought a 1914 home and remodeled it together. “The Healing House, The Gift of Dad’s Final Years,” describes their story and how this home became a metaphor for the transformation of their individual lives and their relationship. Five years later, Gwen shared his hospice home care with her sister, Carole. She found that the ultimate gift of her father’s final years came after his death when Gwen saw a vision of him alive and vital in his Spirit body on the Other Side.
