Acknowledgments

TX Divine Matrix is a synthesis of the research, discoveries, and presentations that began with a small living-room audience in Denver, Colorado, in 1986. Since that time, many people have crossed my path and provided the bridge of experience that led to the powerful and empowering message of this book. Often they participated in ways that they are not even aware of! While it would take an entire volume to name everyone individually, these pages are my opportunity to express my thanks to those whose efforts have directly contributed to making this book possible.

Iam especially grateful to:

Every one of the really great people at Hay House! I offer my sincere appreciation and many thanks to Louise Hay, Reid Tracy, and Ron Tillinghast for your vision and dedication to the truly extraordinary way of doing business that has become the hallmark of Hay House’s success. To Reid Tracy, president and CEO, I send my deepest gratitude for your support and unwavering faith in me and my work. To Jill Kramer, editorial director, many, many thanks for your honest opinions and guidance; for always being there when I call; and for the years of experience that you bring to each of our conversations.

Angela Torrez, my publicist; Alex Freemon, my copy editor; Jacqui Clark, publicity director; Jeannie Liberati, sales director; Margarete Nielsen, marketing director; Nancy Levin, event director; and Rocky George, audio engineer extraordinaire—I couldn’t ask for a nicer group of people to work with, or a more dedicated team to support my work! Your excitement and professionalism are unsurpassed, and I’m proud to be a part of all the good things that the Hay House family brings to our world.

To Ned Leavitt, my literary agent: Many thanks for the wisdom and integrity that you bring to each milestone we cross together. Through your guidance in shepherding our books through the

publishing world, we have reached more people than ever before with our empowering message of hope and possibility. While I deeply appreciate your impeccable guidance, I am especially grateful for your friendship and your trust.

Stephanie Gunning, my first-line editor and friend . . . many thanks for your dedication and skill, and for the energy that you embody in all that you do. Most of all, thank you for helping me to take the complexities of science and find the words to share them in a joyous and meaningful way. I am amazed at how you always ask just the right questions, in just the right way, to lead to the clearest choices.

I am proud to be part of the virtual team, and the family, that has grown around the support of my work over the years, including Lauri Willmot, my favorite (and only) office manager. You have my admiration and countless thanks for being there always—and especially when it counts! To Robin and Jerry Miner of Sourcebooks, many thanks for sticking with us over the years and for creating great events and such a beautiful presentation of the material that supports our programs. To M.A. Bjarkman, Rae Baskin, Sharon Krieg, Vick Spaulding, and everyone at The Conference Works! ... my deepest gratitude for all that you do to help us share our message with such beautiful audiences throughout the country.

To my mother, Sylvia; and my brother, Eric . . . thank you for your unfailing love and for believing in me. Although our family by blood is small, together we have found that our extended family of love is greater than we ever imagined. My gratitude for all that you bring to each day of my life extends beyond any words that I could possibly write on this page. Eric, audio/visual engineer and technical guru extraordinaire, a very special thank-you for your patience with the many, varied, and often challenging venues that we find ourselves working in. While I am proud to share our work together, I am especially proud to be your brother in life.

To the one person who sees me at my very best, and my very worst, Kennedy, my beloved wife and partner in life. Thank you for your ever-present love and unwavering support, and for your patience with our long days, short nights, and long-distance good

mornings. Most of all, thank you for all that you do to keep us strong and healthy, and for helping me keep my promise to be at my best, always! Your words of encouragement always come at just the right time, and in ways that you could never know!

A very special thanks to everyone who has supported our work, books, recordings, and live presentations over the years. I am honored by your trust and in awe of your vision for a better world. Through your presence, I have learned to become a better listener, and heard the words that allow me to share our empowering message of hope and possibility. To all, I remain grateful always.
