The writing of a spiritual biography allows an individual to
journal their purpose, their strength, their significant turning
points in life; in short, their journey of awakening. Michele
Doucette has herein taken the time to document the truth of her
heart. The life story of every individual is unique; as such, each
deserves to be treasured, to be acknowledged, to be remembered. In
reflecting on her own spiritual journey, this author hopes to be
able to inspire others to draw closer to the divine potential that
already exists within themselves. In the words of author Susan
Wittig Albert ... The spiritual path represents the Process of
Becoming whereby the soul remembers itself and the soul discovers
its true identity as spirit.

First came The Cosmos of the Soul: A Spiritual Biography in 2011, a
book that highlighted this author's journey of awakening. In the
2014 sequel, The Cosmos of the Soul II: Messages, author Michele
Doucette begins by emphasizing the importance of the miracle of the
breath in conjunction with proper breathing techniques (and their
value to the whole person); thereafter, she proceeds to focus on 33
vital messages imperative to the spiritual wellbeing of every
reader. Based on personal experience, this easy to read and
excellently researched and referenced text presents the reader with
a welcomed melange of methods and techniques that can be used to
reconfigure one's subconscious mind. It is her contention that
anyone following these methods will be better prepared to take
conscious control of their lives.
Constance is a wicked, judgmental lustful woman going to church
every Sunday. The fun begins as she takes on the challenge of a
Bible study she knows nothing about with the very women she has
been secretly judging. Testimonies reveal the truth about those
women and she discovers the truth about herself and her God.
This book of delightful children's rhymes is illustrated throughout
with pencil drawings by the author to keep the interest of its
young readers and make them daydream of things which can only be
imagined by young, formative minds.
Genevieve Massignon, author of Les Parlers Francais d'Acadie,
sought to establish the origins of the French Acadian people based
on linguistics, making the argument, in 1961, that many Acadians
came from the Poitou region, south of Loudun, mainly because they
were still speaking the old language, one rich and thick of
Rabelais and Montaigne. She was also able to locate a number of
records from the Poitou area that bore many of the same surnames
found in early Acadie. Some of the villages in this area include
Martaize, Aulnay, and La Chaussee. As a young man, Vincent Breau
had been recruited as an agricultural worker for the fledging
French colony of Acadie (possibly from the Poitou region of
France). He settled at Port Royal (present day Annapolis Royal,
Nova Scotia). Several years after arrival, he married Marie Bourg,
a daughter of another colonist from the same region in France.
Never would I have thought, when I first began researching the
Breau surname, that I would have ended up locating Catherine (de)
Baillon, a 9th great grandmother, who, in turn would help me
identify Charlemagne as a long lost ancestor. Many people of
French-Canadian ancestry are able to trace their ancestry back to
the Middle Ages, all courtesy of this woman. Catherine was born in
Layes, near Montfort-L'Amaury in the Chevreuse Valley,
Ile-de-France, in 1645. Her parents, Alphonse de Baillon and Louise
de Marle, were members of the minor French nobility. Coming to New
France around 1669, as a daughter of the King, or Fille du Roi
(meaning an immigrant bride that royal officials would send over to
the colony to marry a settler), she married Jacques Miville dit
Deschenes on November 12, 1669 at Quebec City. Jacques Gueret dit
Dumont, born 1665, son of Rene Gueret and Madeleine Vigoureaux, was
my 7th great grandfather. Born in the Parish of Canchy, in
Normandy, by 1691 he had immigrated to Nouvelle-France (present day
Quebec) by way of La Rochelle. Three years later, on April 19,
1694, he married Marie Anne Tardif (the daughter of Jacques Tardif
and Barbe d'Orange, also a Fille du Roi) in Beauport, Quebec. My
research has validated that the lineage of Jacques Gueret dit
Dumont also constitutes a medieval noble gateway back to
Charlemagne. Add to all of this, a smidgeon of some magick from the
land of the Tuatha de Danann, the Aos Si (people of the mounds),
the Druids, the faery folk, the wee folk, the leprechaun ... and
you have a most well-rounded lineage. The surname Feeley comes from
O'Fithcheallaigh, a name that meant chess player. Chess was a game
that was much in vogue in ancient Ireland. The clan originally
belonged to Corca Laoidh (South-west Cork) and held territory in
Ardfield and Clonakilty. By the 17th Century, branches of the sept
had become established in north Connacht and Donegal. The first
recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Donal
O'Fihelly, which was dated circa 1500; a writer of Irish Annals,
known as The Last Warrior King, during the reign of King Henry V11
of England. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced
personal taxation (which led to the poll tax that we still have
today). Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have
continued to develop, often leading to astonishing variants of the
original spelling, including the English name Field.
