Healing the Broken Hearted - Episode 185 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The steps that began, in letting God my Father bring healing; were all about finding His truths in the Bible. God’s Word and my husband’s example, in enduring all kinds of trials, was the path to follow. Scriptures that I had been taught, took on deeper meaning. For example In Psalm 138, 8 “The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord endures forever.” Forever means never ending, that I will continue walking in his ways; his love will accompany me and my children. The Apo
True Love - Mother / Daughter Talk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today we are talking about the "true love" that I was privileged to experience, with my husband of 30 years. We met as young hippies, in West Berlin in 1970, and lived together there. Our lives took quite the turn, when we moved to California, and lived in the Redwoods in a tipi. We shared many wonderful years together, with our five daughters, and then Thomas developed cancer. We had many ups and downs, over a period of almost seven years. But the day did come when we had to say goodbye to my b
First Steps in Grief Healing - Episode 184 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode will be a continuation from where I left off; quoting from my German autobiography. The months from August into the fall of 1999, was the most dramatic and life altering change in my life. I didn’t realize that I would never be the same woman again.

Sadly, we were not left in peace, to process our grief. The new nor
Summer of Love - Mother / Daughter Talk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this interview with Naomi, I answer the questions she had, after listening to my first year of podcast stories. What was my mindset and experiences, growing up near San Francisco, in the 60s? Music, drugs, meditation, and photography was my world. All of that led me to Europe in June of 1970! And that is how I met Thomas van Dooren, in July of 1970, in West Berlin. This video is from a five part series we made and is also on my YouTube channel!
Mother / Daughter Talk - VIDEO (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I never imagined doing a podcast about the intimate details of my life. But this is how I got started! In writing the stories I try to remember the crazy, fun, scary and challenging episodes of our lives. Sometimes, it has felt like an emotional rollercoaster ride, going back deep into our hearts and minds. But on the other hand, its been amazing and rewarding, to realize how God, had his hand on our lives all along the way. I hope you enjoy our very personal "mother-daughter" talk!
