.....After 26 years in banking and finance as a Vice President of a major U S Bank, Sue took early retirement and has since experienced a path which, looking back, could best be described as the "tower" card in the Tarot. This is the card where basically your entire life is dismantled and tranformed from the bottom up!!
Like so many of us, Sue came from a “dysfunctional family” and carried those patterns and illnesses into adulthood. By the time she was in her mid forties, her life was almost completely devastated by addiction to pills and alcohol; and she had lost several people very close to her to the same disease.
After a particularly devastating loss in 1993, Sue experienced that “moment of clarity” and began a spiritual journey of recovery in April, 1994 in Alcoholics Anonymous. She felt that she had come home at last.
Because Sue wanted to be truly well in mind, body, and spirit and not just free of substances, she began to seek out seminars and classes to which she felt guided by Spirit to nurture and grow the spirituality which AA had introduced into her life.
In this process, she discovered intuitive abilities – long hidden away under layers of illness – and as she slowly unearthed these – she not only began to heal – but she was being asked to see herself with new eyes . . to reshape her vision of who she was.
And . .is . .
This was not an easy process at all. Alcoholics all carry tremendous guilt and shame and Sue was no exception.
Imagine always thinking of yourself as defective . . not just as having problems but as being the problem. . and then finding out, through the healing process, that not only are you NOT the problem, but that you are so much more
