The words in this book came from a lifetime of experience, but they were written with a child named Sarah in mind. Often she would provide guidance on different parts and has taught much about the meshing of the soul self with the physical self. We speak nearly every day across the one-hundred-plus miles that separate us, and I grow from our time together. She was two years old as this book was being written, but that is only the age of the physical body. Like each of us, her soul is as ancient as the beginning, and she remembers much from her beginning. These words are dedicated to her and all the others who remember and share so much with everyone who is seeking to become one with all that is.

Soulful Parenting: How to Embrace, Engage, and Encourage Our Children is for anyone who is looking for a broader perspective on helping children weave the threads of their life’s tapestry.
In our first book, we presented the reader with what many have come to call an Indigo child and the programs that were serving these children at that time. Since then, we have had much experience with both children and adults who are intuitive. Although Indigo is the nom de jour for intuitive people, we no longer like to use the term. It has become identified with personality characteristics, which are not indicative of intuitive abilities at all. We have had parents come to A Place of Light, saying, “My child cannot be an Indigo; he has brown eyes.” Thus, we have come to believe that a child’s name is sufficient
