 FOREWORD

I trust that your heart and mind will recognize the

truths I share with you in this book. You may or may
not need to hear these truths from me. You can dis-
cover them for yourself, as I and so many others have
done, but if you’ve been where I’ve been, spiritu-
ally, mentally, emotionally, and physically trampled,
there is nothing like a friendly voice in a dark place.
I believe this is not just my story. I believe you, too,
have probably experienced a broken heart or strug-
gled with aspects of your health. Perhaps you have tre-
mendous gifts and talents that are undeveloped, not
acknowledged, or simply ignored. I also believe you
or someone you know has encountered great finan-
cial difficulty. Usually, when you struggle in one area
of your life, other areas are negatively affected as well.
I made a conscious decision to experience greater love
in all of my relationships and attain the greatest health
possible while expressing and sharing myself with others
through my God-given talents, gifts and abilities. I know
you can and will do the same, on your own time, and in
your own way. Let this book, and the words I have written
within, be a guide for you when you find you need special
insight, extra advice, or just a reminder that you are just as
great and powerful as God believes you are.
 CHAPTER ONE

THE QUEST FOR HEAVEN BEGINS

“Seek and you will find.”
—MATTHEW 7:7

Are you ready for a new beginning? That’s how I felt shortly
after Officer Dreyfuss looked deep into my eyes and said, “Go to
the church up the street and thank God you’re alive. I’ve seen
the same markings on dead women.”
In 1999 I moved from my native Canada, in Winnipeg, Man-
itoba, to Claremont, California. I was newly married and life
should have been beautiful. Yet within just a few months, I found
myself in an abusive relationship. A neighbor called the police
after hearing my cries for help. My heart and body were badly
beaten, but the responding officer’s words made me pay atten-
tion.
1
 HEAVEN ON PLANET EARTH (HOPE)
A few days later, I took his advice and went to the church for
counseling. My counselor, Vivian, asked me, “What do you want
to do?”
Due to the influence of my Catholic upbringing at that time,
I responded, “I don’t have much choice. I’ve got to stay married.
God doesn’t want me to get a divorce.” Or so I believed. Her re-
sponse changed many things for me.
She said, “God doesn’t want you to be abused.” It took some
time before I heeded her advice; like everyone, I wanted my mar-
riage to work, but eventually I filed for divorce. As a result of the
spousal abuse, I was able to sponsor myself into the United
States.
I mourned the loss of the marriage I thought I would have,
and it seemed as though I was watching from the sidelines while
others appeared to effortlessly go about their own lives. My in-
tention had always been to participate in life, but not knowing
when the next blow would come left me with little time and en-
ergy to really live. Hurt, struggle, pain, disappointment, and anx-
iety replaced that sense of participation and made me withdraw
into myself.
I desperately wanted out of the dark chambers in which I re-
sided: I even yearned to be transported to another plane of exis-
tence. My weakened spirit was vibrating at a very low rate. As a
result, I drew in spirits, emotions and situations of a similar dark
nature. In this darkness, I merely existed—with a shattered heart,

2
 THE QUEST FOR HEAVEN BEGINS
deteriorating health, empty pockets, and stagnant in self-expres-
sion.
In an attempt to change my conditions, I embraced new ritu-
als, which included cursing, praying, decreeing, chanting, ques-
tioning, repenting, fasting, and meditating. “Set me free!” I de-
manded. “I know there’s more to life. Let me experience it!” I
adopted the statement “Only the best!” whenever I was faced
with a decision. The repetition of this statement was my attempt
to focus on the highest experiences within life, which I likened
to heaven.
Life’s experiences are universal, but the details of our strug-
gles are unique to each of us. Let’s face it—haven’t you ever no-
ticed that if you struggle in one area of your life, other areas are
negatively affected as well? For example, after my emotional and
physical crisis, my health started to deteriorate. I endured phan-
tom illnesses, depression, anxiety, lethargy, allergic reactions,
and extreme sensitivities to chemicals. My health challenges
went beyond my attempts at positive thinking, although my med-
ical examinations proved to be fine, including an MRI scan.
While driving to a movie set to work as a producer’s assistant,
I caught an ad on the radio: “Do you suffer from tiredness, anxi-
ety and depression? Well, the amalgams in your teeth may be to
blame! Call for your free examination with a holistic dentist.”
Wait a minute! Could the six silver fillings in my teeth be to
blame for how I felt? A new feeling of peaceful calm came over

3
 HEAVEN ON PLANET EARTH (HOPE)
me, one that I had never known before.
Had I found the missing link?
Still driving, I experienced a brief flashback to my teenage
years. I was in the dentist’s chair, having a few cavities filled. I
was extremely cold and shivering. The dentist’s assistant placed a
heated blanket over me to warm my body. But this was more
than just a mental fear of the dentist. My body was violently re-
acting to the chemicals. The only thing the dentist could do was
tell me to calm down, while the assistant told me to imagine I
was shopping.
After the procedure, I was mentally and physically drained. I
went home and slept for fourteen hours—unusual for me—and
had little desire to do much when I awoke. Was there a correla-
tion between that unusual lethargy, which, by the way, lasted
many months, and the mercury contained in the amalgam fill-
ings?
My curiosity was piqued, to say the least. I made an appoint-
ment with the holistic dentist whose ad had captured my atten-
tion on the radio. Upon observation, she asked, “Who did this to
you? These have to come out right away!” She gave me a book to
read called, It’s All in Your Head-The Link Between Mercury Amal-
gams and Illness, by Dr. Hal A. Huggins, and suggested that I make
an appointment as soon as possible. I was suffering from mercury
toxicity due to the six silver fillings in my teeth!
Let me clarify that the silver fillings were not pure silver.
Amalgam fillings are silver in color, but are actually composed of
4
 THE QUEST FOR HEAVEN BEGINS
a paste-like material containing copper, tin, silver, and zinc, add-
ed to equal amounts of liquid mercury and placed into cavities in
the teeth.
Mercury, as it turns out, is the second most toxic substance in
the world. These chemicals were absorbed into my system, re-
sulting in numbing sensations all throughout my body. Had real
silver been placed in my teeth, no problems would have oc-
curred. Silver is naturally antiviral and antibacterial. When a
newborn comes into the world, doctors place colloidal silver
drops in their eyes to prevent infections.
During my recuperation period after that dentist visit, I drank
huge amounts of hot peppermint tea to improve my circulation
and “pep up,” but instead, I caused more damage. The hot tea
stripped additional chemicals from the amalgams, which were
then deposited into my body at a cellular level.
Because of the high cost of the holistic dentist, I went to a
regular dentist and shared what I wanted to have done, based on
my new discoveries. While I was beginning to lie down in the
dentist’s chair, he asked, “Do you really believe that crap?”
I replied, “Well, I have all these symptoms and no one has an
answer for them.”
He left the room and came back a minute later, sat in his
chair and said, “See this?” pointing to some papers with statistics
on them. “The American Dental Association says that no toxicity
is caused by these fillings.” He threw the papers on my chest as
he left the room, stating how ridiculous I was. I definitely marked
5
 HEAVEN ON PLANET EARTH (HOPE)
him off my list, right then and there. There was no way this
abrupt, irritable man was going to be able to assist me on my
healing journey.
I remember seeing a sign in his office stating: “IF YOU ARE
PREGNANT, AMALGAM FILLINGS CAN HARM YOUR
UNBORN CHILD.” If amalgam fillings can harm a baby, don’t
you suppose they could harm the mother, too? And what about
the dentist, performing this procedure day after day, exposed to
this harmful substance?
According to Dr. Hal A. Huggins, a leading pioneer in holis-
tic dentistry, not only do dentists have the highest suicide rate
among all professionals across the board, but those exposed to
mercury commit suicide much more often than those who do
not use mercury.
Shortly after, I went back to the holistic dentist and began the
procedure of having all my mercury silver fillings removed via a
very specific procedure. I was grateful to be treated with care,
expertise and compassion.
With a shattered heart and my deteriorated health, how could
I bring out any of my gifts and talents? If I were unable to help
myself, who would? I didn’t know it then, but if we are unable to
serve our fellow spirits, we go unrewarded. I was unable to access
my gifts, so I went without. During this time of conflict, confu-
sion, and lethargy, when I lacked resources or support, I asked:
Who has the authority to dissipate this storm I’m in?
In the Bible, 2 Timothy 1:7 states, “For God has not given us a
6
 THE QUEST FOR HEAVEN BEGINS
spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Fear and I
were so close. I had been obedient to its ways and allowed it to
incorporate itself in all areas of my life. At the time, I was not
aware of the power I retained. But the solution was simple…I
had the ability to choose its opponent—love.
If love never fails, then what chance could fear hold?
None.
So, with much resistance, I decided to trust the process by
increasing the love vibration in my life. But still lacking in direc-
tion, I questioned:
Through what methods could this be accomplished? And
what, exactly, does that mean? (I’ll get to that shortly. In fact, I’ve
dedicated an entire chapter to this very subject.) But next, I
thought…
How does one attain wealth, and what exactly does that mean,
anyway?
Despite my conscious choice and hunger for a new existence,
I had little faith that I could transform my life and move out of
my dark situations. It was obvious (not then, unfortunately) that
I self-validated my beliefs; after all, I was on a looped chain of
unfavorable events. Each morning I awoke, I wallowed in my
despair and in a life that lacked life. I could not truly imagine that
a hope-filled state existed. My experiences had shown me that
life was not very welcoming, in the least, and I believed my cir-
cumstances were not going to get any better.
Failed relationships followed failed health, incurring failed
7
 HEAVEN ON PLANET EARTH (HOPE)
enthusiasm, which equated to failed bank accounts, and so forth.
Repeated failures created a feeling of hopelessness and became
part of my consciousness. My life was governed by the failures of
my past.
Frustrated with the constant struggles, I began to keep a daily
journal I called, “My HOPE (Heaven on Planet Earth) Jour-
nal” in which I questioned several things, these among them:
Was the gift of living only available to the fortunate, or those
who had favor with God?
Was karma1 at play?
Was I being punished for not following God’s rules?
Was I cursed?
Was a wayward spirit attached to me?
I even questioned many things I had been taught and told in
my childhood and formative years. This questioning was not new
to me; I was taught to believe in the Catholic doctrine, placed
into a Catholic school, and kicked out for fighting with a fellow
schoolmate at the age of fifteen. I felt much better in a regular
school, not having to wear navy pants with a white blouse every
day, but I also felt disappointed that the school authorities had
responded to my behavior by expelling me. No one asked me
why a fifteen-year-old child was so filled with anger. No one
seemed to care about the troubles I had at home. No one tried to
guide my heart back to love, despite all the talk about God, love,

1 Kar-ma n The Hindu and Buddhist philosophy according to which the quality of people’s current and future lives
is determined by their behavior in this and in previous lives.

8
 THE QUEST FOR HEAVEN BEGINS
and forgiveness. Where was the love and support that had seemed
promised by God through the church?
Once again, years later, I began to draw my own conclusions,
based on the results I was seeing in my life and the feelings that
accompanied those results. Starved for a new way of looking at
and experiencing life, I began to discover my own truth. I be-
came my own investigator, questioning, “What am I doing to at-
tract the current events in my life?” Believe me, this was a major
departure; I was accustomed to asking, “Why me?” from a vic-
tim’s standpoint. Instead, I began to take full responsibility for
my behavior and the resulting outcomes. I acknowledged that I
was the cause and the outcome was the effect. If I didn’t like the
effects I created, I would go back to their source and make adjust-
ments. The source was the cause—me!
Those lower-vibrating emotions I harbored were like a mag-
net, bringing events to me equal in frequency. I began to realize
that my own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs were being reflected
back to me by the world around me. When I anticipated that
events would unfold in negative ways, they did. I realized I did
not believe in anything or anyone. I lacked confidence in myself
and in any potential I had. I knew this had to change. Tired of
being in seemingly hopeless situations, I asked:
How do I attain the lifestyle of bliss I see through my heart’s
eye?
Of course I had always heard of the power of love and its abil-
ity to heal. Yet now I tried to understand this power and its true
9
 HEAVEN ON PLANET EARTH (HOPE)
meaning. The essence of love became my new study:
Could love take the place of fear and the lower, discordant
feelings associated with it?
My fears suggested that being in abusive relationships was
better than being in none at all, but love spoke to me differently.
Where fear told me I would wind up alone, love insisted that I
am never alone. Love encouraged me to cut the abusive ties once
and for all. I realized that there were many others with whom I
could have a respectful, loving relationship. Love became my
great hope of finding the answers I sought because it promised so
much.
But what would life be like without fear?
Fear stops most people in their tracks, and it certainly stalled
my life for a very long time. Ironically, as paralyzing as it is, once
we become used to feeling fear, we become “comfortable” with
it, in a sense. That’s the part that really affected me. Bouts of
anxiety attacks and episodes of depression were my constant
companions, especially during a health crisis.
One of the acronyms I came across for “fear” is, FALSE EVI-
DENCE APPEARING REAL, but there didn’t seem to be any-
thing “false” about my experiences. Fear was a great magician—
a fantastic illusion. Unaware of the smoke and mirrors, I was
fooled by fear for a very long time. I did not know a way out was
even possible. What I did know was that I didn’t want to be blind-
sided by life’s events any longer. I chose to have a say in my own
life.
10
 THE QUEST FOR HEAVEN BEGINS
Until that point, I felt tossed about in the ocean of life, grasp-
ing to rise above the maelstrom. I needed to be spared from con-
sistently being pulled into the storm, to eliminate the dark cloud
of feelings hanging over me.
Even back then, however, I knew that my will to rise above
adversity was far greater than the chains that kept me in darkness.
Despite appearances and the disarray of my emotions, I always
had great hopes that there was another life available to me. Every
day I searched for ways to eliminate pain in my life. Up close and
from a distance, I admired the seemingly happy existence others
lived. I saw that some were treated improperly by the world, but
were able to dust themselves off and start anew. I often won-
dered…
How did they attain their state of happiness?
How could I attain this heaven I’ve witnessed some achieve?
Certainly I wouldn’t have to wait until I part from my physi-
cal form to experience such a place; where is it, and how do I get
there?
I knew there must be resources to get to heaven on planet
earth, and, if so:
What are they?
Where could I find them?
How could I enter into this new world full of promise?
If others found ways to get there, those ways must certainly
work for me, too.
First, I let go of the religious programming I was subjected to
11
 HEAVEN ON PLANET EARTH (HOPE)
as a very young spirit, and focused on the aspects of religion that
I felt could benefit me on my quest. I took with me a number of
biblical statements that resonated with my soul. Upon contem-
plating the words of the prophets of old, I envisioned grand views
of what I could attain. The most influential verse was Matthew
6:33. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and it’s righteousness and
all these things shall be added unto you.” Sounds great, but
where’s the Kingdom of God? Is heaven on planet earth some
great reward with access granted only to members of a particular
sect? Perhaps it’s reserved for those who have more favor with
God.
Despite my initial questions, my quest to find the Kingdom of
God, here on earth, gave me the impetus to let go of all I was at-
tached to, because I was tired of being depleted. We feed our
physical bodies, but what about the core, the essence, of who we
are? I was hungry for positive emotions, experiences, and, ulti-
mately, a new existence, but I lacked the proper nourishment for
my spiritual growth. I sought a new world in which I could truly
live and experience life without struggle, pain, hurt, lack, separa-
tion, or fear. Some of those close to me shunned the “fairytale”
concept I believed existed, heaven on planet earth. Some even
insisted, “This is just the way things are. Life is not fair,” and “Ac-
cept it,” but those words didn’t ring true. Instead of seeking ap-
proval from those I loved, I realized the importance of temporar-
ily withdrawing from them to build the life that I intuitively knew
awaited me.
12
 THE QUEST FOR HEAVEN BEGINS
Without a map or a guide, I set out for the unknown, and that
was okay, because things couldn’t turn out any worse than what
I’d previously experienced. What’s the worst thing that can hap-
pen? I asked myself. I didn’t really believe I would encounter fire
and an ugly-looking, red-eyed creature with horns… There was
no risk. It was riskier remaining where I was.
I was determined to find my heaven on earth, but I still had
many moments of doubt. In those moments, I decreed the same
statement as the poet, Emily Dickinson:
“Great Spirit, give to me a heaven not so large as yours but
large enough for me.”
