About the Author

If you are wondering who I am, I am Samantha and I was insecure, had low self-esteem, physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually abused as a child, by those who pretended they loved me. I was put into a children’s home until I was almost 17 and then rebelled. I relied on alcohol and drugs to get me through the pain, and all this time I knew my Spiritual connection was strong through my dream and Astral travels when a child.

 I then married and was in an abusive relationship for 7 years, dragging me again to the physical, emotional and mental abuse. My grandparents and the best girlfriend anyone could have in the world helped me through it. I tried to commit suicide many times and failed, which led me to believe I was here for a reason. I started to learn about Tarot cards and the force to learn was strong.

 I started going to Spiritualist Churches which helped me a lot and by the time I was 24 1 was divorced and getting stronger every day. I then heard voices for the first time, it scared me a lot at first and thought I was going crazy, but with the help and guidance from my Spirit Guides and those who helped me along the way I learnt how to switch on and off. I had never spoken to anyone about this until this time. I always had colors in my dreams; and shapes and symbols, not knowing what any of it meant. Then I began to see Spirits, it was the most wonderful feeling in the world to know I was never alone, and I always had my mentor Raven with me wherever I went. Then came Ariel and Little Too Big (my American Indian guide). With trust and Self-Love in my heart I overcame all the pains of the past, doing all the things in this book step by step. Learning I was worth something even though the torture and pain from the past told me I was not. It took until I was 26 before I realized that there was no need to hold onto pain. I felt I had to out of loyalty. (How crazy does that Sound now?) I started doing readings for my friends and gained more confidence every day.

 Then at 30, my life did a complete turnaround; I came to Australia and married my Soul Mate. (Yes it does happen!) I have 4 children and have done a little traveling, reading and healing and counseling others. I run a Spiritual Awareness course and am happy with my life and am happy with me. I love to write poetry, and have been twice published.

 I have learnt many lessons and still continue learning. The work I do comes from the heart and I have to thank all those who helped me along the way. My Spirit Guides and mentors; as, if I had not had their help, I would not be able to do the things I do.

We don’t actually have much, but what more riches do we need than love for self and others? My favorite saying is “it’s all good”. 

 I was prompted by my spirit friends to write this book hoping that in some way it can help you too. If I can do it, so can you.

 Please don’t make it difficult for yourself.

I wish you well on your journey,

Love and Lght always

Here Is A Sample Of What's Inside

   1. Pretending To Be Who we’re Not

   Why do we hide behind a mask every day of our lives trying to please people because we think this is the way it is meant to be? We are programmed every day of our lives, do this, do that, yes you can, and no you can’t. Even as small children we are programmed, when we are born we cry, we are fed from the breast and this settles us down, we are given food when we are hungry. We have our nappies changed when we are wet it all becomes part of a program. We then go to school, teachers teach us, we can do this, we can’t do that, you have to learn. Our parents teach us right from wrong, yes you can do that, no you can’t. Where does it all end? It never does. 

   We grow up with all this knowledge but where does it take us? It takes us to the big wide world at 18 years of age and sometimes leaves us dumbfounded, all of a sudden we have to make our own decisions, our own choices and although our parents are there most of the time for support or maybe our friends, it is now time for us to take that big step and find our own way. 

   Now we have employers and governments telling us what to do.  So all this time we have been programmed so how do we know better? We don’t. We see the way our mothers run after our fathers, having their dinner on the table when they come home from work, and always a cup of tea or coffee before we had ours. We saw our grandparents do the same thing, so our parents were programmed by their parents. Where does it all end? Someone has to break the chain eventually. 

   Is this really a good example to set our children We need to learn to be who we are and not what someone else wants us to be. We try so hard to please everyone in our lifetime, our employers, our teachers, our parents, and our kids. But where does it really leave us? Us, who is us, we are now somewhere lost in a void amongst it all searching for someone to fill the void and tell us what to do. We are all human, but being who we really are is so important, why do we let people dictate to us?

   We feel bad or guilty, we don’t want to let anyone down, and we don’t know how to say no and mean it. We have no life for ourselves because everybody else always has our attention. Well the time to stop is now, you do not have to feel guilty about having a little time for yourself quite truthfully you about it, how can you truly love and care about other people when you don’t care or fully love yourselves? 

   We can’t, it’s impossible. We convince ourselves sometimes we do. We put on a little make-up, go on a diet, or exercise, because someone has told us we’re fat, or we’re looking old. How can we feel good about ourselves when we rely too much on other people’s opinions? Who you are really and what is inside you is what is most important. We see ourselves as imperfect especially as adults we can never be good enough. Who told you that? You did, and the sooner you can admit that, the sooner you can move on and not feel guilty about having a life. Ask people’s opinions if you need to, but don’t get yourself lost amongst their opinions. What happens? Then their ideas sound better, they are right, I am wrong. WRONG.

   I hear this so much and it makes me sad, especially in relationships. When we are going to learn that our spiritual selves is what is most important? Our skin is just a mask for us, inside who we truly are is spirit, yes, care about people, no-one is saying you don’t have to care, but how do we truly care about someone else when there is no caring for Self? 

   Surely there is one thing you like about yourself, think about that for a moment. Most people (know that inside) they are a nice person, and this they truly believe, because they are — this is not a thought thing this is a heart thing. It is so easy to sit and tell (someone) that you truly love and care about yourself. I hear you say the words, but are YOU really listening? Most of the time unfortunately no, so where does this leave us? Back to square one, listening to everyone else again and doing what we always do. 

   I hear you say, no, sorry I have no time; the kids have to go to dance or soccer, I have to work late, go shopping, cook dinner, do the dishes and the housework. Who said you have to do it all now? Will it hurt to leave the dishes in the sink? Will it hurt to the shopping tomorrow? Yes, I hear you say. I have to do it now as there is no other time to do it. Poppycock. The only person telling you this is you. You have always made sure the dishes are done, you have always done the shopping, you have always made sure the kids are where they are meant to be, so to change this pattern will be hard if you make it hard. Why do we have to make life so difficult for ourselves? When in fact it can be so easy. Life is to be lived. Most of us just exist from day to day and never really find out what it is to really live. We may read lots of books and throughout our lifetime learn lots of lessons, but the only person who can make it right is you. 

   How many times do we see abused children becoming abusive adults? Ok, I hear you say, they know no different, for this is the way they were bought up. This is not true, for you can be whoever you want to be, and do whatever it is you want to do. Stop telling yourself you can’t. For once in your life stop pretending to be who you are not and be who you truly are. It is not hard, it is just a habit, and habits are meant to be broken.
