Petra Gerda-Paul
Petra Gerda Paul came into this lifetime 2 months after her father was killed in WWll. Even as a child she contemplated often about life and death. As a teenager her chosen verse from the Bible was, “Lord, teach us to understand that we must die, so we become wise.” Her life was dedicated to service. As a youngster she worked in an orphanage and hospitals. After graduating as a medical nurse in Germany she worked as head nurse of Obstetrics in Aachen, then at the Surgical University Clinic Tuebingen, as staff nurse on the Neurosurgical Unit. In 1965 she went on the great adventure of immigrating into the United States. After two years on the east coast she crossed the country to San Francisco, where she encountered her first metaphysical experiences by studying Christian Science. She met her first husband, the father of her son, Daniel, in San Francisco. She opened her home to Foster Children for several years. One of her foster daughters, Elizabeth, is still very close to her. They have been a great support to each other over the years. When the children got involved with swim teams, she also joined an adult team, to overcome the limited belief of being a total flop in sports. She developed as a long distance swimmer and swam the length of the Golden Gate Bridge. When she participated in a Lake Tahoe crossing, she had to give up after 7 hours of swimming, because of poor navigation. Her interest in books about near death experiences as well as writings of inspirational writers, opened her thought to higher consciousness and brought her into universal explorations of spirituality. Whatever wisdom inspires, will bless and lift the human family into the consciousness of Love.

Trisha Michael and Mike Russell
Trisha Michael has lived in Oregon for the past twenty years. Her life changed instantly when an Angel appeared that set her on a course of studying different modalities within the healing arts. Over the years, she has become a Reiki master and Angelic Spiritual Coach. Trisha has been inspired by Archangel Raphael to take his lessons into the community through special sessions of profound communication and thoughtful reflection. She is a gifted energy practitioner with many other related skills. She continues to reflect to all that “Love Is Enough” and strives to bring peace and understanding to all her clients. In the spring of 2010, Archangel Raphael decided that the time was right to encourage Trisha to participate more fully in a relationship that would involve channeling his messages. He came as a result of her partnership with Mike, which allowed them to participate together in a project of spreading his main message that “Love Is Enough.” This partnership A Journey of Discovery through Intuition and with Help from the Angeles 88 has developed into not only a healing business but also the spreading of Archangel Raphael’s message through various means of communication in print and video. Thanks to Archangel Raphael’s connection and encouragement, the T Michael Healing Arts Clinic continues to expand and grow through its participating healers and special events.
Mike Russell grew up knowing that there was more to the world than what he was noticing through his physical senses, but he had no way to understand those things that were considered to be out of the ordinary in a 1960s world. With his father serving in the US Air Force, he and his family moved every three years to a different part of the world, opening his eyes to the smallness of this planet while at the same time learning from his English mother that ghosts do exist and it was okay to talk about spiritual matters. It wasn’t until years later as he developed his interest in all things related to Spirit and the death of his wife, that he was plunged head first into the deep waters of intuition. Through Spirits encouragement, he joined forces to write a book with Trisha about her expansive knowledge and created a wonderful and loving partnership with the help of Archangel Raphael. Intuition has played an important role in his life but now with this foundation created through partnership, Mike now has a platform to pursue and offer this information to all those that are interested, and as it meets the tender and funny way that he is referred to by Archangel Raphael as the “newspaper delivery boy,” he feels honored to take this mantle on and is proud to be able to get the word out.
Trisha and Mike are the authors of A Journey of Discovery through Intuition with Help from the Angeles.
Mike is the author of My Compass, Our Story: A Journey Through Death and Life.
Karl J. Morgan
Karl J. Morgan grew up fascinated by science fiction, beginning with Victor Appleton’s Tom Swift novels that he read as a young boy. Later, he became enthralled with the works of his favorite author, Isaac Asimov, especially his Foundation series. Those early experiences inspired his life-long love of science fiction and interest in hard science, focusing first on astronomy and later cosmology and quantum mechanics. Karl had the great honor to take his first astronomy course at the University of Iowa from the legendary scientist, Dr. James Van Allen. More recently, the brilliant works of Drs. Stephen Hawking, Brian Greene, and Michio Kaku helped him understand that our physical universe is still a magical and mysterious place. It is that sense of magic and mystery that brings Karl to write about his alter ego, Dave Brewster, an unemployed accountant who finds himself a thousand years in the future with new friends and adventures far beyond anything he could have imagined. There, he can find answers to questions that befuddle mankind today. The truth he finds is no different from what we know today. Life is always about loving and caring for our family and friends. Karl lives in San Diego with his wife, Aida and their beloved puppies. Their two grown children have fled the nest and started their own adventures in life.

Mike Russell
Through a series of events over Mike Russell’s life including broadcasting school, journalism in college, and his adventures into the spiritual realm after the death of his wife, he found that he was at a crossroads of discovery that he did not want to turn away from. He took what he had learned over the years while raising a family and working in the financial services industry, and realized the skills that he thought didn’t connect did indeed create a bigger set of proficiencies that he could use in a new way. The results were a blog, newsletters, and articles written for the grief community, as well as two previous books, A Journey of Discovery through Intuition with Help from the Angels, and My Compass, Our Story, A Journey through Death and Life.
Mike believes that the many random events in one’s life are not truly random, but instead all add up to the congregated form that exits for a reason and can be creative no matter what age a person is. Artistic expression can be achieved no matter what a person’s background and developed skills are, just by connecting the dots on the journey.
Enjoy the journey and know that you are enough.
Mike’s recently published books are What’s in the Water: Our Soul’s Reflection on Spirit and Self; A.R.C. The Archangel Raphael Conversations; and The Strand.

Christine Sotmary
Christine Sotmary has been profoundly influenced by the experiences that Family Caregivers share. As a teenager she still remembers the day that her overwhelmed grandmother told Christine’s mother that she no longer could take care of Christine’s grandfather. His behavior was more than she could handle and she informed Christine’s mom, the mother of four girls, that she was placing her in charge of the situation. After a wild weekend of phone calls Christine’s mother was able to place him in a mental hospital for safe keeping. This was the late 1960’s and no one was talking much about Alzheimer’s. Fast forward 30 years and after watching in horror as her sister took care of her husband’s mom who not only had dementia but was addicted to pain killers the role of Caregiver struck even closer to home. Christine’s husband of 20 years started showing signs of Alzheimer’s disease and she became his primary Caregiver for the next 8 years. And then only two years into her journey she learned that her father also had dementia. She shared her journey with her mom who was her dad’s primary Caregiver. They shared experiences of everything from helping their loved ones get dressed in the morning to the craziness of “sundowning” later in the day. They shared hospice and finally the loss of their men within six months of each other. Because she is a Life Coach and an Acupuncturist she has helped many of her clients as they cared for frail or sickly parents, partners with cancer and children with all sorts of special needs. In the last four years her comfort with others who have taken on the role of Caregiver has extended out into the community. With the support of the Hudson Valley Hospital Foundation and now Elderserve she has created hundreds of programs all over Westchester, NY to help Caregivers cope, get the information they need to make their lives easier and give them the break they need to laugh, watch a movie or share a meal with other Caregivers. She has created caregiveraccess.org to give Family Caregivers in Westchester the resources and information they need. With the help of the organizations she belongs to such as Livable Communities, The Alzheimer’s Leadership Committee, Westchester County’s Caregiver Collaborative and NYSigN which brings together people of all ages to learn from and care for each other she has helped improve the quality of life for Family Caregivers and those they are caring for in Westchester. Christine’s first book is a memoir called Living on the Verge of Insanity and details the 8 years that she cared for her husband. Her second book When the Voiceless Sing shares stories from the 22 Caregivers she has interviewed that explores the rich terrain that is Caregiving.
