For any one that has wondered about the meaning of life and why we are here, this is the book for you. Sandra takes you from her “normal” middle class upbringing in a typical white Anglo-Saxon Protestant city, to opening the window to the wild ride that became her life. The river of her life moved from child, to music teacher, to an unbelievable journey around the world working in an ashram kitchen and onto global finance. Her life then took a 180 degree change to an entrepreneurial life in the heart of Silicon Valley. The Mystic’s Journey is an exploration of the Self and finding your own personal power, joy, and abundance in life. Sandra gives the reader the wisdom she gained; with the knowledge that everyone can use, to fill their life with love, abundance, and meaning.
