I am not a permanent "solution" to life's issues, but a real person, who has experienced living just as you have; sometimes winning, sometimes losing, but not willing to settle as "just a survivor", I have learned how to <B>thrive</b> in this experience called LIFE, and I want to help you learn to thrive as well.</div> <bR> <div> I have faced much of the same pain and loss that you may have experienced. I have cried a million tears of frustration and fear, and wanted to run away more than once. It was after a near-death experience in 1996 that finally, the Universe got my attention and reminded me that what I had thought was "required" (suffering) was not only optional, but my CHOICE; the miracle of choice is that we can make new ones..... and aren't bound by those choices but only by our own fears and limitations. Such a shift in awareness is bound to create new energy flow.</div> <bR> <div> I went on a spirit journey, as you may have, looking for something more than what I had experienced to date.</div> <bR> <div> I found a temporary home ..... and spent more than 3 years there, teaching, and learning, and celebrating the gift of life I had finally come to embrace. I loved my time there.</div> <bR> <div> Eventually tho, it became apparent that my new "home" was only a bus stop, not the destination. All the times I had said "happiness isn't the goal, it's the journey" started ringing in my ears, and I heard loud and clear "ah, Galen? have you been paying attention to what you teach?"</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> I've always felt the best teachers are those who remember that we are all students at the same time.</div> <bR> <div> And, of course, I wanted to cling to the familiar, rather than take the leap of faith it would require to be successful without the support of what I had come to know as "home".</div> <bR> <div> Reality will come and bite you on the butt if you cling to the easy, or the more familiar hell than an unfamiliar heaven....rather than reach for the gold ring that the Universe is waving in ones face. LOL I know, I'm Experienced with this one!</div> <bR> <div> These pages will grow and change as I share with you my own experiences. I hope you will feel comfortable with sharing yours as well, and join me for a time.</div> <bR> <div> If I can help you work thru a situation in your life, feel free to contact me regarding a private session, either online (currently only available thru AOL) or by AIM, or by phone. With numerous tools, including psychic and astrology, let's remember why you are the person you are, and learn all over again, to celebrate that person, AND welcome the person you are becoming.</div> <bR> <div> More than 27 years experience as a reader and spiritual counselor, I am here to help you live your life fully and with purpose, with love and with passion, and with JOY rather than with regrets.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Remember these keys:</U></b></div> <bR> <div> <I><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">    </I><I><B>You don't "need" a reading</b></I><I>, you have all the information you need, available to you right now.
