Wow, DL, great to meet you! We share a lot of the same experiences. I'm an east coast girl too (DC). Had a boyfriend from Queens in college, so made many trips to the Big Apple. TM found me in the 70s, did my time in 'official reality' in the Federal government (70s-2006), found Seth in the 80s, learned about channeling and a lot of other stuff in the 90s as well as Reiki (my decade of serious exploration). Writing is my current way of giving back. Looking forward to reading more of yours.
