You are more powerful than you realize!

Not long ago, I was searching for forgiveness, and no one, at least not the people I was asking, could tell me how to do so. It was only when a good friend directed me towards the University of Santa Monica (USM) and I truly began to understand how one can forgive.

Two years later, and a certificate of completion for a 20-month program on spiritual psychology, and I am now quite clear on the immense power and freedom that Awareness, Gratitude, Forgiveness, Acceptance and Intention can have on an individual.

These are not merely words to be spoken, or actions to be taken. They are transformative energies that, when genuinely embraced, can reshape one's entire being. These forces, when engaged, are not passive; they actively reshape our spirit and body. And as we allow them to flow through us, we undergo a metamorphosis, emerging stronger, more empathetic, and truly at peace.

Such was the extent of my own excitement that, together with my husband, I decided to dedicate the rest of my life to helping others access those powers too.

That is the purpose of The Orchid. It is our first attempt at sharing with others, especially women, a path towards a more powerful existence, which ultimately is about self-love. It’s a wonderful book and we are excited to witness its entry into the world.
