When I was in college and about sixteen years old, one of my French Literature professors seemed to favorite me by liking my essays and reading them to the other classes! We also had a school newspaper in which I was involved. Looking back, it was training for my life mission.

When Dietrich was teaching at university here and there I would ask him, “are you not supposed to write books? Every year? He would say yes of course, but I am too busy at this time! I would reply, “yes, but you have something to say.”

One Christmas while teaching in Vienna my husband had a stroke. While staying at the intensive care unit he wanted me to bring all the papers he had to correct. I refused and called the university instead.

I took care of my husband for seven years. It was an ordeal but we had each other. During this time, we met with the Tanabes, forming a renewed working friendship.

The first draft of Dietrich’s first book arrived at the San Diego hospital. He tried to read it. It was not working.

I told him: I will take care of everything! These were rules of the heart.

He lived his life practicing true love. True love as a way of life.

Today I am happy to report that we will soon celebrate his ten years in the spiritual world where for us there are no barriers, just a thin veil that we can cross and meet again and again!

These are rules of the ❤️ heart.
