Yes, that's her. She's lovely. She's from Barbados and my grandmother was from nearby Trinidad so my family went to both islands when I was a girl. I was thinking about how important Jung's concept of shadow is to us Libras who are so in love with love and harmony. I've seen too many light lovers get bit in the rear -- I've seen their children pay the price for the parent's inability to recognize pathology....You've probably been aware of the same thing as a spiritual therapist. Will you tell me about the kind of work you did?
Yes, Miriam went to the University of West Indies. I spent time in the islands around Barbados, after purchasing a sailboat in St. Lucia - Castries! This was a turbulent time there, so sailed back to U. S. island hopping to Antiqua, Martinique, Quadoloupe, Dominica, St. Barts(I unfortunately told Jimmy Buffett about it and he ended up making it a big tourist destination), St. Michaels, Virgin Islands, St. Croix, Puerto Rico, ----many Islands many memories. And another lifetime it feels, my favorite therapy work was my "internship" at Center for Attitudinal Healing with Dr. Jerry Jampolsky. He was the first psychiatrist to work with life-threatened children. When I got there, some of his original children had become young adults. So I went about and got a grant to work with them, and it became the young adult program. This was like working with Angels on Earth, as these kids were ready to go, and yet, they wanted to experience being here now intensely, so they loved it that I took them out on big sailboat, up to Yosemite several times, to Mendocino, to Monterey, to Mt. Shasta. The shadow that you speak of, was the very angry Mothers naturally. However, I am now (25 years later) back in touch with some of the Mothers and Jerry Jampolsky. He is celebrating his 90th birthday with a big workshop in San Francisco next Aug. I am planning on coming out there, and possibly meeting with some of the Mothers, and see if their Angels on Earth children came back to them as Angels from heaven? Anyway, to sum it up, I ended up studying with famous relationship teachers and opened a Creative Relationship Center in Mill Valley and worked day treatment with several hospitals in San Francisco and in a transitional lodge in Napa State Hospital. I was a licensed Family Therapist, which was my third licensed career. My first was as a Clinical Pathologist, and then a Licensed Sailing Captain teaching Marine Science under Sail. So lots of good memories, and Mindfulness Meditation/prayer is my Way at the moment. So there you go, Denise - in a nut shell! TMI?
