‘For me, spirituality is the ability to be awed through your connection to creation, to know your purpose, and to be of service – all to find faith, hope, and inner peace. This is the very heart of what I call ’soul communion.’ I knew that, on its face, this sounded esoteric and mystical, but it was already threaded into the fabric of most people’s lives. ‘After all, who hasn’t prayed to a loved one who has died, talked to them, and asked them for emotional and spiritual guidance?
