How Can I Be of Service to You?
Maturing has its perks – one of them is embracing that I earned my stripes – by stripes I mean wrinkles – well, laugh lines mostly with a few worry furrows that philosophy and meditation, not Botox, will smooth.
For clear and heartfelt expression, I apply what I sense as an intuitive and have learned in Earth School, with a Cum Laude degree in LOVE, to every service I share.
Exhilarated Life
In the film As Good as it Gets, Jack Nicholson’s character, Melvin Udall, responds to the comment that everyone has terrible stories to get over.
“Some of us have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes, with boats, and friends, and noodle salad,” he says. “Just no one in this car.”
I certainly didn’t have pretty stories growing up notwithstanding the lake and boats, and if you are holding this book, then I guess neither did you.
And so begins Exhilarated Life, the memoir of my spiritual and philosophical coming of age through applying ancient and new age wisdom to life’s adversities. ~mh

There’s a little something for everyone in “Exhilarated Life”. The product of a five-year journey through grief towards happiness, the book is at once intensely personal yet ultimately accessible. As we witness despair,
bitterness, self-acceptance and forgiveness, juxtaposed with a deep love of travel, adventure and learning, Marilyn’s humility and gentle, self-deprecating humor shine through her stories.

“Exhilarated Life” is the personal diary of the captain of a beautiful,
strong and nimble ship caught in the powerful storms of Life. It takes us on an epic hyperbolic journey—the DNA-like relationship between
our limited human psyche and unlimited Spirit with absolute honesty, weaving back unto itself the reflections and substance of a life courageously lived and deeply self-examined.

In an age where the “selfie” has become ubiquitous it is refreshing to come across a self-view that takes into account the emotional landscapes that underpin so many of our life experiences. What comes across are insights and some deeply considered views of how we have got to where we are in this trip through existence. The book is not a life map. It is, however, a guide to making one’s life more conscious and complete.
