Healers, Helpers and Guides: Stormy Times 

                 The True Gift

                  by Bertie Ryan Synowiec, MS, DC

 

Every event in our life serves a purpose and provides us with an opportunity to learn and grow. Sometimes, when we don't yet understand this, we blame others and move away from the lesson, rather than walk through the pain with an open heart. In her book, Healers, Helpers and Guides: Stormy Times - The True Gift, Bertie looks back at the experiences in her life, the adversities, that actually prepared her for her purpose and mission. As she shares her inner journey with an enormous depth of understanding of those events as illusions, based on her perceptions at the time, her  reality transforms and her perspective shifts. With this awakening the true gift emerges, as she finds that she no longer needs to remain stuck in her history. A new sense of freedom and lightness comes forth, that is filled with love and gratitude for those people, places and events, that brought her to this present moment. So familiar to many of us, this is a healing concept that mankind struggles with daily, as each of us sort out those events that appear to be beyond explanation hoping that someday we will can see the True Gift in our Stormy Times.

So many things in life we know and understand yet we have had to revisit them from time to time with a new perspective in order to define and assimilate these awakenings, own them and then move on to a higher plain. Stormy Times: The True Gift exemplifies this shift and reminds us to seek that new level of thinking within ourselves. Shirley Brackett, Family Living Teacher Author, Become a More Positive Person

I like this book very much. I took a great deal of the wisdom to heart and I learned from it. Those understandings I should have had years ago while teaching and raising a daughter. A great deal of thought and experience is evident. Your books surely help many people. Margaret Wallace, Librarian
