This is a place for all broken grieving hearts to come, its my safe haven and I share this with all of you to be your safe haven. I am hoping through my journey of grieving as well as my real life experiences through grieving I can help all through their darkest hours, to ease the pain a little less, to maybe just give an ear to listen because sometimes that's all we need.


I am willing to bare all to each and everyone who comes to this blog. I want no one to be shy of anything. I want anyone to ask question's, tell their stories with pride. No one will judge you, or think you are different. We are all here going through the same thing GRIEVING. This is my safe haven, your safe haven. The place to heal, to find your smile again. Through this all I am on a journey to writing a book as well "The Grieving Path To Joy".

Now his story:

I am writing this to publicly thank Oprah Winfrey and her beautiful Teams at OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) for creating amazing television. The incredible shows broadcast on OWN truly changed my life which I am grateful for beyond measure.

As you may or may not know, the world lost my Father (in physical form) by suicide on March 6th, 2011. Nothing can prepare one's heart for something as devastating and tragic as the death of a parent by suicide. The trauma associated with this experience has been the hardest thing I have ever had to endure and heal in my life. Picking up the pieces of one's life after disaster strikes with loss fused with trauma is the most brutal raw human suffering the soul can feel on the physical plane. The ray of light and sparkle of hope I always held very close inside of my heart was Oprah's message of holding on to your faith in the universal possibilities of the unknown parts of tomorrow; the eternal promise of the gifts to come. Becoming one's authentic self is paramount to live the life we have always imagined by listening to the inner voice within that wants what's best for us. The quiet whispers of loving guiding grace deep within waiting for each and every one of us to acknowledge it's presence. I started communicating with my multidimensional omnipresent highest self through quiet reflection, meditation, and prayer.

In the early days soon after my dad's departure, it was torture to find something my heart and mind could handle on regular network television. The doom and gloom of story-lines of conflict were impossible for my soul to watch and participate with. I had never noticed how incredibly negative television was until such time. My heart was unwilling to make the sacrifice of being exposed to anything but love and kindness and I remember consciously telling myself I was not willing to expose myself to anything negative. My inner voice was telling me not to allow this if I wanted to truly heal my grief. Magically it was at the time when Oprah's 25th Season of The Legondary Oprah Winfrey Show was coming to an end and where the OWN Network was beginning. I was instantly hooked on MasterClass and LifeClass. Both shows are rooted in teaching knowledge through experienced mastery of what incredible people have learned from living the life they have always imagined. Real people with real stories of love. The shows ultimate messages are that we are all teachers and students of life here on Earth as we journey together.

The first MasterClass I watched was Oprah's two-part self-interview on her challenging adversities growing up as a child and how she became the Oprah Winfrey we all love and cherish which truly changed my life far beyond my wildest dreams. Essentially, where Oprah came from and how she got where she is today. Soon after, I saw Dr. Maya Angelou's Show on MasterClass which was all about how she became a mute as a child and why she decided not to speak for many, many, years which began to germinate the seed of going back to who I have always known I am which is a Singer and Songwriter to help the World. These two beautiful noble women seeded my heart to know I could heal myself and become my authentic being by bathing in my God+Given gifts and talents free of fear of who I have always known I am within my deepest inner parts. The voice within started guiding me towards this loving part that I have always known I would become. I realized my life, and the sum of all of it's parts, were teaching moments to become the me I have always known I would be, as my best self.

Soon after, The Universe aligned the legondary Dr. Angelou coming to speak at the University of Western Ontario in London Canada to a sold out crowd of thousands. I witnessed this truly remarkable and phenominal hero speak on the same stage that I performed on as a child in a production of Peter Pan. Somehow as I began to explore the inside world of myself, much like both of these women, the Universe, and Multiverse started communicating with me. This all began because of my desire to heal the inside as a result of these two remarkable souls willing to share their hearts with an openness I had never known or understood prior to my Father's death. Oprah and Dr. Angelou Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for teaching me how to live with loving intention from within my soul with freedom to be me through love and kindness.

I had the honour and absolute pleasure of being part of an OWN audience at a live taping with Oprah on LifeClass in Toronto Canada with the most incredible guest contributors; Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, T.D. Jakes, and Iyanla Vanzant. The theme of this remarkable show was all about being pregnant with positive ideas from within and going out into the world creating them by bringing them to life in service to others. I have learned one thing with absolute certainty - When we serve others with love and kindness we serve ourselves with infinite love and kindness; what we create we live. We are in fact all creators and somehow along the way we forgot this very thing! I truly believe the time has come to remember the power we hold within.

I am here today sharing this moment with you directly from my open heart with the hope our world starts supporting the love we are all so capable of expanding from within. Essentially, our collective stories remembering we are in fact one conscious love. Personally I became inspired to be the conscious creator creating again because of all of the wonderful teachers I've had throughout my life and as Oprah says best, "no one can do this (life) alone..... no one.... not you, not me, no one. I am not big enough, you are not big enough, no one is big enough... we need every single one of us."

I know unequivocally that if we wish to succeed and thrive with love and kindness we need to do so collectively! We need to help and support one another. What you give you receive. For me, my whole self-discovery process allowed me to understand my ego was no longer required if I wanted to live with an open heart. In order for me to thrive spiritually with love & light, my heart had to become fully in charge of my path which I am truly thankful I finally understand. I had to press the metaphorical reset-button and end my negative programming loop which use to be flooded with fear and unworthiness. My meagre self/mind/ego had no place in the beautiful Omnipresent Love we collectively Co+Create. Living with a compassionate soul with my heart fully open with love guiding the way with gratitude was the only way out of unending pain, fear, and suffering and into a new raised vibration of replenishing infinite healing love within. Ultimately, the Universe inside of myself expanding and creating the Universe outside of myself and being consciously responsible for the energy I was bringing to life.

We are all capable of forgiveness. We heal by understanding that conflict is unnecessary. Conflict stands in the way of LOVE.
Win+Win outcomes are possible for all and they replace right-wrong conflict-duality-programs. When we unite in LOVE and KINDNESS we become ONE LOVE through the gifts of compassion making conflict obsolete and unnecessary.

Loving healing energies become part of our internal world powered by our intention through free will choice. For Love to Thrive We must power the root of LOVE instead of FEAR in every moment. A new World is on the horizon and it is created by our free will to choose LOVE instead of FEAR. LOVE is the Light of LOVE itself and it will always guide us towards ETERNAL LOVING PEACE for ALL.

FEAR is the absence of LOVE and Centering the heart's worth with prayer and meditation is truly helpful in this regard. We are all worthy of infinite love and kindness made possible by claiming it with free will. We are in fact free to choose whatever we want. No one has the power to take away our individual free will which is spiritual and completely sovereign. We really do choose LOVE or FEAR everyday and One day soon Fear will be a distant memory, and LOVE will be all there is.

Oprah, I truly love you and thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for standing in the light of such beautiful infinite abundant love. Thank you for always being exactly who you are. You are an amazing teacher of Beautiful Love literally expanding Beautiful Love itself. I would not be who I am without your Love. You are my absolute hero. Thank you for creating AWESOME Inspired Inspirational Conscious Television! My heart is better because of you and the teams at OWN!

I Wish all Life Abundant Love, Infinite Peace, Endless Joy, Inspired Happiness, and Eternal Prosperity! With Great Love & Light, Namaste...
Sincerely, Paul Luftenegger
