Hidden within every human being is a spark of the divine, and when something touches this spark, the pursuit to reach it, to possess this connection, becomes the journey of a lifetime. This is a journey every soul is meant to take.
Fern Stewart Welch is a former freelance international travel correspondent for The Los Angeles Times, public relations director for The Arizona Bank, founder and president of a public relations firm, editorial director of PHOENIX Magazine and executive director of the Gladys Taylor McGarey Medical Foundation.
Her current book, "The Heart Knows the Way", is a remarkably intimate and revealing account by the author of how she sought a better, more loving and enlightened approach to helping her husband through his lengthy decline and death. In the process she opened to a personal relationship with God, gained new insight into one of life's most feared experiences, and completed the experience free of sadness and guilt, with renewed joy, meaning, purpose and reaffirmation of life.
Our encounter with Fern confirms that she has a sweetness in her soul, only found through enduring and growing through such a personal and profound experience, leading the way for us to face it ourselves with courage, grace and peace.
Fern now resides in Scottsdale, Arizona and is working on a new book, "How to Become a Warrior of the Heart". We hope to catch another interview with her when this is completed.
