Shamans are not like other people, they talk to their guides and power animals and believe in fairies, trolls, ghosts leprechauns. Carol Tunney is a former MD, an OBGYN who did  a soul retrieval journey with me that  helped me shed a lot of fear. Not something I would have dreamed of for most of my life, and too bad, because the journey did more for me than 30 years of medication ever did. Carol was frustrated with Western medicine and loves being a shaman. She is not like the other children, but a powerful healer.

Caro is also a friend, she has one of the most interesting minds I have ever encountered, and she wanted very much to meet our donkeys, and she and Simon were doing shamanic mojo to one another, speaking across the spirit world in their own language. Soon enough, they were cuddling.
