What inspired you to write your latest book The Course in Miracles Experiment?

Well, you know, it’s funny, because I didn’t set out to write this rewrite of A Course of Miracles workbook, but what happened was that on January 1st2018, I decided I was going to write about my own journey with A Course in Miracles. I’d been doing the Course for a really long time, and a lot of people feel that it’s kind of dense and sort of hard to understand, so I decided I was going to write about each daily lesson and share what it meant to me.

And then the most miraculous thing started happening. People started posting on my site or they started sending me e-mails, writing ‘You need to turn this into a book’. And after you hear this 50, 60 times, you start thinking, “you know, I guess I should turn this into a book”.

I put together a proposal, and sent it off to my publisher Hay House, and they said they loved it. So that’s how the book came about, and I think that’s really how miracles are meant to happen.

All of us are given assignments, so to speak, by the universe, and to me, this was real clear guidance that this was my task to do. I gladly took it on, and I am happy that it’s being released now.

What happened for you, that brought you to that place where you were receptive to actually start reading the Course, and take on board its wisdom?

I read a book called Love is letting go of fear by Gerald Jampolsky, and I was like, “wow, this is really interesting”, so I got A Course in Miracles, and I didn’t know that I totally understood it, but it just felt like it was something really important and it almost had this special vibration about it.
