A Clean Slate: My Journey to Transformation

​

On May 7, 2017, my life changed in unimaginable ways. After 30 years of marriage, my husband passed away just one day after our anniversary. Within weeks, I lost not only him but also my job and my home. In a span of a month, everything that I believed defined me—my partner, my career, and my stability—was gone. Grieving, disoriented, and afraid, I relocated to California to be closer to family, but emotionally, I was shattered. Life felt bleak and unrecognizable.

One night, in the midst of my deepest despair, I cried out to God, asking, “Why have you taken everything from me?” In response, a quiet, loving voice whispered within me: “You have a clean slate. Create the life you desire.” While those words didn’t offer immediate relief, they sparked a resolve within me that would set the course for my transformation.

Shortly after, I was introduced to someone who, after hearing my story of loss, asked me a pivotal question: “What do you want to do?” In that moment, I remembered the years I had spent teaching and practicing the spiritual principles of abundance, prosperity, and personal transformation. For over 40 years, I had studied these laws with my late husband, a spiritual teacher and master. We hosted a podcast, led seminars, and helped countless others create lives of fulfillment and joy. Yet, in my own grief, I had forgotten the power I had to change my own life.

Those early days of starting over were not a fairy tale. There were no sudden miracles. It took hard work, deep introspection, and learning to embrace the tough times as part of the journey. But through it all, I came to understand that true transformation is not about avoiding challenges; it’s about growing through them and realizing the power we hold as creators of our own destiny.
