Teacher's Search for Brother Leads to Spiritual Journey in OPENING: LOTUS HAWK'S PRAYERS & MEDITATIONS

Over a decade after Harriette Mandeville lost her brother to a drunk driver, she saw him in her kitchen. This unusual experience opened a window for exploration in Mandeville, and a desire to search for answers to questions that had been simmering for years.

"I was leading a normal existence as a wife, mom, teacher and homemaker," Mandeville said, "until things happened that changed the course of my life's path. This was the turning point to my spiritual awakening and led to a journey to connect to my inner spirit, while helping others find their way, as well."

In "OPENING: Lotus Hawk's Prayers & Meditations," Mandeville, who goes by her spirit name, "Lotus Hawk," offers an inspirational guide to prayer and meditation. In this workbook, filled with affirmations and meditations for various intentions, Mandeville offers a tool for connection and creativity and a path to finding answers to life's questions.

"As an intuitive, I hone in on spiritual lines of communication that transcend mortal existence," Mandeville said. "My goal is to help others to do the same, while empowering them to receive the answers they seek."

Mandeville said that, because of tapping into her spiritual self and constantly tuning in to the universe and God's messages, she was able to receive well-being that she hopes to give to others.

"In all of my searching for my brother," Mandeville said, "I know he really never left me."
