Acknowledgments

I can never repay my debt to the countless monks, teachers, mentors, sponsors, fellow wounded healers, and friends who have helped me trudge the path to self-acceptance and care. Those include Beverly R, Elaine P, Muriel Z, Arlyn R, and Kat G.

I’ve also been supported in this journey by my goddess group in New York—Catherine Boyer, Laura Beecher, Polly Howells, Marta Elders, Marianne Schottenfeld, and Susan Bogas. My “spooks” group in Palm Springs guides my path with wise ladies too numerous to mention. A great spiritual midwife, Elizabeth Stephenson, has been a constant source of excitement, fun, fantasy, and whimsy. I’m even now using her super-spiritual name for higher power, GGATI (God, Goddess, All That Is).

My writing has been nursed so patiently by Ray “Rusty” Straight, Deborah Herman, and my editors at Central Recovery Press, Nancy Schenck and Helen O’Reilly. My assistant, Jeff Hughes, has also helped with countless Internet and computer glitches that eventually taught us more than we ever wanted to learn. (A lot like the spiritual path.)

The most profound blessing found on this path has been my beloved lifetime companion, Henry Kaplan, who senses all the right moves and guides while adapting, cherishes while provoking, and loves me as much as I love him. His irreverence keeps me humble, alive, and open. Definitely a tastier morsel than any bagel.
