      Thanks to Tori Marrin, B.J. Echolls and Jean Thibodeaux; my son Jay Silverman and my sister Marilyn Jackson, who lovingly read and critiqued my manuscript, several times over. They followed my request to help me keep the message simple and direct. Thanks also to my office assistant and editor, Mark Linder, for his expertise and attention to detail.

      Thanks also to Tom McConnell, my partner. He made sure I remembered to eat, and he kept the house running when I forgot there was a house.

      I am deeply appreciative that Dale Hoffman, George Davis and Leonard Solomon came into my life many years ago. They can’t possibly know what a difference they made then, or how that difference contributed to my knowing, someday, I would be able to tell you, the reader, that miracles are real, natural and available to all who desire them.

      Introduction

      IT’S ALL IN THE MIND

      Between my highly impressionable years, from three to eight years old, my father used to tell me that what we experience in life is All in the mind. When I was three years old I had no idea what he talking about. Around five, I sort of began to get the idea.

      When I’d come home crying with a cut or scrape that was bleeding, while my Dad was getting out the Mercurochrome and band aid, he’d tell me to repeat three times, It don’t hurt. Of course, I would keep crying and complaining, and he would keep saying, Come on just repeat after me, it don’t hurt, it don’t hurt, it don’t hurt.

      I guess we’d argue a bit until I’d give in and say the words. By that time he had taken care of the wound and he’d ask, Well, how does it feel now? Of course, the little arguing we did had completely taken my mind off everything else, so I had forgotten that it hurt in the first place, and I’d reply, It’s OK.

      Then he would say, See, it’s all in the mind.

      By seven or eight I was more involved in dancing and piano lessons than playing out in the street, so little bumps and scrapes were no longer an issue. By age eleven, my outdoor activities were focused on playing golf or swimming. Life became more social for me and our father-daughter conversations didn’t happen much. By that time, I was too egotistical to admit I didn’t already know everything there was to know about life, so I didn’t ask him to explain what he meant about, It’s all in the mind.

      Like most kids, I found growing up very confusing. I longed for a way to make sense of life. From the outside, my life looked great. On the inside, though, I felt like a child with her nose pressed against a candy store window looking at the goodies inside. I wanted to get inside my life instead of being a spectator. I hated the feeling that life was just happening to me. I didn’t know where the good stuff, or the upsets came from. It all seemed to be outside my control, and even worse, it looked like everyone but me had it all figured out.

      My father died from a heart attack when I was twenty three. I missed him and was so sorry I never took the time, nor made the time, to ask him more about his life, or life in general.

      When I finally discovered what my father meant about the power of our minds, I realized he was talking about miracles. Until then, I didn’t think miracles were real or natural. I was very practical, and practical people don’t go looking for something they don’t believe exists. Thus, I wasn’t looking for miracles, and probably missed many opportunities to become enlightened about them and where they come from, until they came looking for me.

      My first big lesson in miracles came in 1978, but I didn’t recognize it. A couple weeks later, the same exact opportunity knocked again, and that time I couldn’t ignore it!

      In Chapter 1, you will
