On the cover of my book sits a spiraling Celtic symbol, “The Triskle.” This Symbol evokes the Druidic Threefold Mother Goddess, it represents the stages in a woman’s life, which all derive from one center: It is known as The Maiden, The Mother and The Crone. My Crone voice has miraculously guided me throughout my life’s journey. On that journey, over two continents, I have found myself in scary and life-wrenching situations over which I have had no control. And in turn, having had to make numerous life-changing decisions based upon these situations, this center is where I try to find insight. I had something deep inside me driving me to write my story. Not sure why, but I have learned through the years that I have to listen to that inner voice; some people call it intuition, some call it a gut feeling, I call it my Crone voice. I consider myself a normal person, with what I feel, are good morals and values just trying to make it through this journey we call life. I truly try to live righteously and be a better person every day. I am a mother of two astounding young women, Seánalee and Brennalynn. They too have served as my guides time and again. As such, this is our Journey. A wise man once said: “Writing a memoir is like preparing yourself to go to confession.” ~ Frank McCourt. So here I go… In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit it has been 22 years since my last confession.
