Karen M. Hilligoss graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accountancy; and thereafter; she received a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. She has been happily married to her husband, Christopher, for almost two decades. While dating, Christopher introduced Karen to the works of Dr. Wayne Dyer.

However, as Dr. Wayne Dyer wisely said, “there are no coincidences in life.” In 2015, shortly after the death of world-renowned inspirational writer and speaker, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Karen started to experience miracles surrounding him. These spiritual experiences helped Karen spiritually evolve so that she became able to accept several serious diagnoses involving her childrens’ health. These experiences have not only transformed Karen, but they have provided her with a passionate desire to share the impact of Dr. Wayne Dyer on her life with the world.

About the Author
To my darling husband, Christopher,
and to my two sparkling stars,
Samuel Raphael and Isabella Sophia
And to the family of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
There Are No Words
Where do I even start?
You all had this unique and special gift.
Yet, you were so generous and you selflessly shared him with the world.
I know that anyone and everyone touched by his life’s purpose resonates love towards your family.
As for me, there are no words …
There are no words …
There are simply no words that are adequate or profound enough to describe his essence.
But if God made me simply to go through this specific earthly experience so that I could find his essence, it would not surprise me.
In fact, it would not surprise me one bit.
And you know what?
It was worth every bit of it.
Yes, it was worth every bit of it.
He has changed my life and he gave my life new meaning and purpose.
I want your entire family to know the profound gratitude that I feel, and I trust that my gratitude will reverberate back to all of you!
PREFACE
TO ALL READERS
I AM HUMBLED to write this book of firsthand experiences. There were many times when I wondered if I would have the courage to complete this book. I reviewed bookstores, and I saw that the shelves were filled with excellent books on matters of faith and spirit. I am simply an ordinary person who has undergone an extraordinary spiritual experience.
I was raised in a mainstream Catholic household. From a youthful age, I decided that there were certain things that I needed to accomplish in life. I set my plans for a life course with fervent ambition. However, life did not operate in the exact manner that I planned which slowed down the spiritual momentum from where I was destined to live.
Dr. Wayne Dyer, who is affectionately known as the Father of Motivation
to his followers, once recommended that one should, Have a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing.
This statement provides a key insight into Dr. Wayne Dyer’s unique way of thinking. Dr. Wayne Dyer has and will continue to change this world for the better.
As for those who may benefit from this book, I would say that this book is for everyone. To those eternally optimistic people and followers of Dr. Wayne Dyer, the miracles in this book will not surprise you. However, to the reader who is living a life of surviving rather than thriving, to the reader who is unhappy with his or her life journey, and yes, to the reader who has ever asked, Why am I here?
and, Do I really have to stay here?
, this book is for you. Because I have asked each one of those questions.
I was introduced to the early writings of Dr. Wayne Dyer. However, my life was operating in accordance with the ambitious expectations of my youth. In fact, I believed my life was exactly on course, so I stopped reading his books. Unexpectedly, things changed drastically in my life and I started to lose myself and turned to unhealthy habits.
However, I still had copies of Dr. Wayne Dyer’s early books. One day, I pulled out those books. This was a fork in the road for me. I picked the right person to help me understand life’s big picture because I did not just read Dr. Wayne Dyer’s books, I later cried out to him. To my surprise, he answered me with a profound message: "love is eternal."
Dr. Wayne Dyer has taught me that we are spiritual beings merely having an earthly experience. No matter what life dreams did not get fulfilled, or how badly your life feels now, wherever your heart is right now, do not give up! Do not— not even for one second— wish away this life experience. I have been there and I am so glad that God did not answer that request.
I remain on earth as a messenger to share Dr. Wayne Dyer’s message that "love is eternal." I can assure you that I have every intention of living out this earthly experience. Wild horses could not stop me from sharing my experiences with this wonderful man. Dr. Wayne Dyer has changed my earthly experience; but more importantly, he touched my very soul!
—What you seek is seeking you.—
–Jalaluddin Rumi
"—If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have
found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in
the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never
know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning.—"
–C.S. Lewis
