Where Angels Fear To Tread…
Is there any such place? I don’t think so. It is my experience, more and more, that angels are with us always. But there are places of such abominable darkness that most of us avoid looking at—at all costs—atrocities that only ‘others’ can commit. We don’t want to look within ourselves or even think there could be that possibility. And if we embrace it at all, we want to blame it on evil, on the devil, or something other than ourselves.
In refusing to see or to speak out, sometimes we even keep secrets… horrifying secrets that keep us locked in inner, mortal combat. Unknowingly, whether we like it or not, then we pass a sickness on to our children.
However, something miraculous and amazing begins to unfold as secrets are exposed and light, compassion and understanding begins to dawn. Humanity, which is capable of unthinkable atrocities is also capable of extraordinary love—when we have the courage to see things as they are… and this is when the Shift begins to happen.
The books I have been led to write so far are deeply compelling, deeply disturbing, deeply revealing and, I hope, deeply inspirational stories of real people—those who have had the courage to face both extremes of darkness and light within themselves. Having experienced abuse, having made choices on their own that were not always healthy, they went through the inner battle many of us must face in order to find the sanity within the chaos, the surrender to the struggle, and pure divinity within the darkest recesses of our souls.
I have finally learned how to look honestly and completely at all sides of humanity. Not just the history book facts, or the high-ranking politics or the religion, but all of it—down to the gut-level side of personal experience in the trenches of blackness, and the spirit reaching for light. This is what I love to write – the possibilities of the human soul. The transformation. The ascension. And to open the perspectives of questioning readers to the fact that we are never alone. And perhaps, just as importantly, to know that no matter our past or our current experience, we have the right, and the ability to create a life of purpose, contribution, and even joy.

It is fantastic to see how well you have done for yourself. It would seem you finally found your calling...I knew that one day you would. Sure beats working construction for a living...
Fate, or something, led me to watch Oprah today with Melissa Moore and Dr. Phil. My heart goes out to Melissa and I think she was fortunate to have you write her book. I knew immediately you were the right person for my book too. I have been wanting, needing, to write about a horribly traumatic experience I had, and survived only by "dancing as fast as I could" first, for two days on a cargo ship in the middle of the ocean, and then for years after the incident by sheer determination, courage and resourcefulness. Altho' encouraged for years by many wise professionals, I keep putting off writing about it for fear of not doing it right. The reason I am DRIVEN to write about my experience is to tell about the dynamic that saved my life in the end, and, I like to think, my sanity. This is a topic that has only been TOUCHED on brieflly by Oprah, Dr. Phil and others as they discussed something else, but I have NEVER seen anything on TV (in layman's language) about this dynamic that could save many many lives. I have been looking for someone with your skill, experience, insight and understanding to help write this book. My reasons are not all altruistic - - it would also be a good for my healing if I thought more people understood why I did some things and made some decisions that contributed to putting myself in the way of such danger. I am lucky to be alive and I think I can help others - - more specifically, by sharing my story and the resources that helped me, I believe lives can be saved, and many other positive outcomes. Helping others might make some sense out of what happened. I have been strongly encouraged to write this book by many who know about my experience and I have a story to tell but I can't tell it most effectively without someone of your calibre to do it right. I know you'll be swamped with offers after the Oprah Show but if we could talk, I think you would be interested. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for reading this.
Thank you, Sandra. It sounds intriguing. I'll be in touch.

Dear Bridget,
I find your work so inspiring. I am from an abusive home, my father a pedophile. Through a lot of difficult self-work and discovery I have chosen a far different way of life than my family. I would like to share my life lessons and empowering transformations with others but I am dyslexic and struggle with writing yet I have a story yearning to be told. Would you be willing to discuss this further?
Bridget, your website alone is so inspiring! So many of us think if we keep "dark things" in the dark, they won't be seen. Unfortunately, they just end up coming out anyway, in one form or another, and in a liss constructive way than had we just brought them into the light.
I have been working on writing a story of my own that has not only been cathartic to me, but will also be helpful to other women who may be in an abusive relationship. My hope is to help women see the warning signs before it is too late. It was almost too late for me in my first marriage.
Thank you for inspiring me to bring these past events into the light!
