I have had an assortment of different and difficult challenges in my life that I have met and overcome with as much grace as I could manage. I want to encourage you to take control of your own life and work through your own challenges, too.

The most visible healing for me is that I have reduced the symptoms of Tourette Syndrome by 95% since I decided to take control of my own life and declared my intention to heal. The symptoms include shaking, tics, making sounds, restlessness, shouting out obscenities, etc. When I was younger, I was taken to many doctors before a diagnosis was found for my symptoms. A variety of drugs were prescribed to me to reduce the symptoms but, unfortunately, they were not able to help me.

When I turned 18, I took control and began listening to my heart regardless of what any one else wanted me to do. I worked on my personality traits that I wanted to change and I strengthened my self-confidence and self-respect. Unfortunately, I experienced another huge challenge when my husband of 3 months died. It took me another 10 years after that to trust myself again, but I was determined to do it.

I began the long and often frustrating journey to heal myself without drugs through physical means, herbs, energy healing and spiritual methods, even reconciling my relationship to God. I worked to overcome the anger and hatred I developed from experiencing my father’s abuse. I faced fear on many levels. I followed my intuition when I moved 2500 miles from my home to Sedona. This is where I unexpectedly came to the realization that I needed to set my intention to heal, rather than just try to control my symptoms.

Each time another challenge or roadblock presented itself, I had to take responsibility for my decisions and healing at a deeper level. Many of the healing processes made my symptoms worse before they got better. But I persevered.

I went to healer after healer, meditated over and over, prayed and begged for assistance, and burned up phone lines with friends. I consulted psychics when I got confused. I always found the strength to keep searching or the right person to guide me. I put myself and my healing first. Now, among other inner strengths I have discovered, I trust myself and I accept my connection to God. I have learned that a lot of emotional and energy work is needed to heal. I have also learned the universe supplied what was needed for me to heal, when I was willing to put the time and effort into myself, believe completely that I could heal and show the universe I was willing to go through anything to accomplish that healing. I believe if I can do it, anyone can.
