Dear One: A Memoir on Spiritual and Sexual Awakening encourages us to have the courage to listen to and follow our inner wisdom to live our best lives. Her memoir spans Annie's three marriages - twice to men and to her wife, Michelle - and the spiritual awakening that was sparked by her first husband's suicide attempt by car.
Annie discovered her gift of automatic writing and claircognizance in 1998. She uses it in her own life, particularly to make important life decisions, as well as on behalf of others in her Reiki practice.
