In the wake of the Covid pandemic, the world in many ways seems to be re-emerging from a catastrophic nightmare. This is the true story of one man whose life underwent a remarkable transformation amidst the chaos. Entitled, " Through the rings of fire." It tells the story of growing up in a dysfunctional family in New York and adapting the role of caregiver even from the earliest days of my life. In many ways, this inevitably led to my calling as a nurse. But this is not just the story of my professional life. As a young man searching for love and fulfillment, I thought I had found both with what I believed at the time was a wonderful man named Johnny. However, that dream was in fact an illusion. It turned out that I was in the manipulative grip of a hardcore narcissist, a destructive personality type of which I was naively unaware. My life went further downhill as I also learned of a deadly genetic disease within my family, and dealt with some tragic losses. The good news is, this seemingly dark story takes a dramatic turn and becomes a tale of victory and overcoming, that will offer hope and inspiration to countless others suffering under similar circumstances. As the world plunged into panic when the brutal plague of Covid hit, I had embarked on a deep and profound spiritual voyage of self-discovery that ultimately led to my healing.
