“Striving to Know” - Chapter 1 – In the Beginning
A gathering of interested students and others who wanted to know more about how to set personal goals and reach spiritual fulfillment, came to hear the spiritual author and advisor’s monthly session “Let’s Talk,” at a private college.
…and so the spiritual author and advisor began with the following information…
As she sat in an armchair in the front of a small adjacent room next to the main chapel where often the fragrance of jasmine hung in the air, a popular plant found throughout campus.
“We will only be talking about positive experiences during this session and ask that the Holy Spirit, Lord Jesus, and Holy Archangel Michael protection us and guide our actions and thoughts during this and all future sessions.”
“First it is important to remember that everything is made up of energy, and that the loving helping angels who work with Lord Jesus can use anything animate or inanimate to provide helpful information.”
“Angel interactions are very subtle, which means often this interaction will go unnoticed. There are reasons for this – but mainly it is because an individual is not ready to know, realize, or even understand what help is being given and why. But, when the time is right, the right information will be realized, recognized, and the person will have an awareness of the presents of their loving, helping angels.”
“No, I am not going to be like a preacher and talk about religion. I am only offering you information through what I have experienced personally, that is why I write books to tell about the experiences that I have been aware of through the many helping holy angels who work with Lord Jesus, Archangel Michael and the Holy Spirit.”

About the Book
"Angels: A book for self realization through angels and your personal guides-" is a quick-read.
"Striving to Know" is a quick-read. At a small private college, as freshmen students find their way during the first semester, four students with varying interests become good friends. There's Holly, a psychology major with interest in parapsychology, who is looking forward to a summer internship at Harvard. There's Greg, who thinks he wants to major in electrical engineering. Charlie is immersed in his own world of religion, and Sarah is a geology-archaeology major.
Each faces challenges regarding their spiritual beliefs, and each becomes preoccupied with events and situations that take place in their lives while on campus-including the appearance of a mysterious man. In the midst of their difficulties, they learn of a monthly "Let's Talk" meeting held for students and the community with a spiritual adviser who answers questions, gives advice, and talks about how synchronicity takes place in their lives, clarifying how each person actually helps to create their own reality.
A work of religious fiction, Striving to Know tells a story about resolve, personal growth, and how friends' support for one another helps them to achieve their final goals.
About the Author
Several years ago, while I was sleeping, I saw in white script lettering, “Write about life” then a very long white line “4th book.” At the time I thought, What can I write about that I haven’t already written that would be of interest to any reader? Having recently left a position at a local college, I have had time to think more about what that could be, since I am taking this as an assignment. Here it is, a Novelette …
