Can You Pray?

The Group: Maggie

Back to Overview

As the younger of two daughters in an average working-class family living in Mid-America in the 70's, Maggie and her sister were raised in a family that embraced her grandparents' generation, and she spent much time with them. Her memories of those times are filled with hard work, trials at school, and fun times with everyone. When she was age 14, her grandfather died and left her devastated from grief that she converted into an even tighter bond with her grandmother.

Early on she sought out information on spirituality rather than organized religious teachings. Maggie was most impressed by a woman who introduced her to meditation and spiritualism through a six-week course covering topics that affirmed her belief in reincarnation, angels, and dreams. This remains the basis of her works in faith and she still feels a bond of spiritual kinship to that woman.

When Maggie turned 16, she met a man whom she would marry five years later, but during that time fate placed her in the path of yet another woman who would love and mentor her. This woman showed her a world that she might otherwise never have entered. She was taught how to run this woman's business and was entrusted with every aspect of it. Such commitment led to her becoming a prosperous and independent woman at a very early age. That friendship continues to flourish and benefit both parties and contributed to her decision to join her boss, Kathy Safchick, in this work.

At age 21, married, with a good career and a comfortable life style, Maggie met yet another woman whom she told others, "Changed my life forever... Ruth Lee introduced me to my Spirit Guides! Using prayer and meditation even more than before, my thoughts and beliefs created a new and better way of life for me."

By age 24, Maggie was ready to sit for hours and watch Ruth Lee scribe this book without worrying about what other people might think of her--or what it might mean in terms of personal change and challenge. She sat and prayed and meditated and listened with the other members of this group to what was taught by masters from other planes. She knew nothing about other group members, but was confident of the final outcome because she trusted Kathy and Ruth Lee. Her life took her away from the group more quickly than she expected, but she never gave up believing that this book would help others one day, too.

When the manuscript was issued in a first draft for the group to edit and live by, Maggie said then, "It's great to know that this was all guided in my direction. Life has been good to me. I thank GOD every day." Years have passed since Maggie was interviewed about publishing a book written in Spirit, and many changes have come about over that time, but she knows the way to live and how to get back on track if she should ever lip.

Today Maggie is married to a man who did not exist in her mind when this book was scribed. She received a baby boy from the hand of God, Scott Alexander and places his care foremost in her life at this time. Her career is on hold, but she remains closely associated with her mentor, Kathy Safchick. Maggie's world is how she wants it now but changes are underway to improve her life soon.
