The author says:

          "I am a woman who is greatly blessed. So far, the best parts of my life have included love, passion, dear friends, motherhood, and watching my healthy sons grow up and produce an incredible new generation of precious little children. I love to dance, sing with friends, and meet with groups of people who recite Rumi, Hafiz, and other soul poets to each other. My daily pleasures are ordinary--children, roses, dogs, tomatoes, walking in nature and reading books.

          In my work as a clinical psychologist, I have trained psychotherapists and been a keynote speaker at conferences around the world. In the privileged role of guide in the lives of all kinds of treasured patients, I have learned more and more to support spiritual growth as the true answer to life challenges as diverse as marital conflict or life-threatening illness. I love Rumi's influence in this, because he speaks lovingly to people of all spiritual paths or those who claim no path at all. Soul-growth is our purpose here in this short life. When we awaken to our divine nature, finding a way to make a difference follows organically.

          The Rumi Secret represents my best effort so far to express my true life's purpose: I am a miner for the treasures left us by the Great Ones, and my gift is the ability to make some of their wisdom accessible to a broad audience. It's my great joy to have found my own deep path, and to be able to share it with beloved friends I may never meet

          Knowing that my life has made a difference has always been, after family, my highest goal. I pray that this book will make a difference for you."
