The following are brief excerpts from Miracles Only Come in One Size. 

Chapter Three:  A Glimpse of the Other Side (a small excerpt about my near death experience)

As I lingered somewhere above my hospital room I began to know everything there was to know. I understood the origin of the universe. I knew God, understood life, and why each person existed. The knowledge of complicated mathematics and other sciences filled my head and I felt great joy from understanding all things. Numbers were the language for most of this understanding. All things were mathematically correct with endless but understandable formulas. I read lengthy formulas as rhythmically as reading a beautifully constructed sentence. In my consciousness I saw shelves and shelves of books and smiled with elation as their contents just seemed to jump into my mind. I absorbed knowledge at light speed. I knew all things and all things were in perfect synchronization. I was a part of all things and they a part of me. As exciting as this was, it also began to feel right and familiar—as if I had been there before.

Chapter Ten:  Psychic Readings (a portion of a reading I gave which demonstrates the power of the Universe to use each of us, if we are willing, to be a part of someone else’s miracle)

The Rose:  Toward the end of the reading I began seeing the image of a growing rose. It started with a piece of stem, growing some leaves, more stem, more leaves, and eventually a rosebud that opened slowly into a beautiful red rose. I remember thinking, “How cool is this?” but I kept right on talking. My ideas and choice of words for the client were just perfect and they came to me from this developing rose. Each piece of stem and each leaf as it developed conveyed to me a complete and precise thought to share with her.

In the end, the client was pleased and knew my words were wise. I usually do not share with people how information comes to me, but I was so impressed with this image I received to help me guide her that I said, “These were not just simple words of wisdom or good advice. Let me share with you how these last few minutes came to me. You are being very guided here.”

I told Mary about the rose and how clearly it informed me on what to say. She burst into tears, and an apology came flying out of my mouth. “I am so sorry. I guess I underestimated how much pain you are still in and I shouldn’t have sounded so excited about the rose. It’s not something I would usually do.” By now she was crying too hard to talk. I felt just terrible but kept trying to comfort her as much as possible. Soon there was a faint voice. She said, “No, you don’t understand. It’s not your fault. When Mother was dying she told me she would try to communicate with me from the other side and she would try to do it through a rose.” Now she knew this came from Mom, not me.

Chapter Eleven:  The Power of Thoughts and Words (our creative power is immense)

Missing Wallet:  Similarly, ten years later my friend Mary Ann called me to say she could not find her wallet. It was hard for her to believe she lost it as she just had it at the grocery store. I advised her to see the wallet returning. I said, “See it walking right up to your front door on two legs if necessary—just see it and believe it.”

A few days later she called to say that she had answered an unexpected ring of the doorbell and there stood a man with her wallet. He was the owner of a local tavern and he found it in the alley by his trashcans. The money was gone but everything else was there. Her wallet had returned to

Chapter Twelve:  Things Come to Me (the chapter is full of amazing happenings demonstrating the power of affirmations and correct use of thought and words)

I am not much of a party person but I do like to entertain occasionally—as in having everyone I know over for food and drinks. About a year after moving to Dallas, I wanted very much to have such a gathering but I had given away most of my dishes and glasses before moving, as I like to travel light. I am not a fancy person but I do like things to be nice, and I have a few strong likes and dislikes. Among my dislikes are plastic glasses and paper plates—especially at parties.

I knew I could pick up small glass plates for almost nothing, but how would I get thirty or forty wine glasses? Shortly after the party idea took root in my head, I was sitting at home reading a book when a very good friend called. She was doing some cleaning because she had just bought a house and was giving away everything she was not planning to move. As a successful recovering alcoholic, she offered me her entire collection of stemmed wine glasses. I had enough for a party.

She also offered me her entire bath towel set she had just purchased because they were gray and she wanted a different color in her new home. They were brand new and luxurious. It also happened that on my to-do list for the very next day, I had written shop for new bath linen, in gray.

Chapter Thirteen:  The Big Picture

Making Room for Your Miracles:   As they say, ships come in over still waters. It takes a calm and controlled mind to create your miraculous life. Confused, stressed, indecisive thoughts give the Universe confused, stressed, indecisive signals. I have learned over the years that one of the most important things you can do for your mental, physical, and emotional well-being is to have some quiet time. Everyone has a different reason for being so busy and much of it may be just habit. In general, people have forgotten how to be alone without being lonely. Perhaps some fail to understand the difference.

In the Silence I can hear,

God erasing all my fear.

When sounds depart, He’s in my heart

His love and grace I then draw near.

The Silence whispers a secret knowing.

A better way of living it’s showing.

It says let go of the negative flow,

And feel your spirit growing.
