Welcome! This forum is dedicated to resolving the past. Please think of this forum as a loving, private place to discuss and heal unresolved, traumatic pain. (PTSD). I began my recovery process for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in 1987.

My first book, Flying with God, begins my autobiography with my childhood in WWII Germany describing not only suffering war, but also my dysfunctional family upbringing. Fortunately, my family moved to North America and I was lucky to land a career in the airlines in 1965 which lasted 38 years. My long standing 38 year career as a flight attendant provides a glimpse of airline history with a personal, humanistic perspective. I have included my view of the experience of evolving from a stewardess to a flight attendant. My next two books will be about how recovery from PTSD opened the door to my spiritual growth.
