“Do make the home your career, for this is the greatest career any soul can make in the earth.  To a few it is given to have both a career and a home, but the greatest of all careers is the home, and those who shun it shall have much yet to answer for.  For this is the nearest emblem of what each soul hopes eventually to obtain, a heavenly home.  Then make your home as a shadow of a heavenly home.  For the home where there is unity of purpose in the companionship is the nearest pattern in the earth of man’s relationship with his Maker.  For it is ever creative in purpose, with personalities coordinated for a cause, an ideal.”

 Edgar Cayce (1070-1)

Mari’s husband, Rod moved from his home state of California to Virginia/North Carolina partly to be near where Edgar Cayce had lived and where his readings, his life’s work, are stored (The Association for Research and Enlightenment).  As a young man, Rod had become dissatisfied with the state of his health and turned to the readings of Cayce for guidance.  When we were married, Rod taught me, Mari, what he’d learned and had been practicing for many years.
