Program Title: “Winks from Heaven.” Our September 20, 2025 program will feature a talk by Susan Wysoki, an author and Certified Transformation Life Coach, about her inspiring just published book, Winks from Heaven. If you were told you only have a few months left on earth, what would you do? What enormous decisions and intimate details would fill up your weeks, days, minutes, and seconds? Now, imagine if those final months belong not to you, but to the person you love most in the world. Susan’s life changed forever on the night of December 15, 2016 when her daughter Jessica was rushed to the Pediatric Emergency Room. The doctors feared it was appendicitis, a scary and potentially life threatening condition. Within 24 hours that diagnosis would change to something no one ever could have imagined… Stage 4 colon cancer. Jessica had just turned 17. Jessica escaped her body, after a 17-month battle, on the day after her high school graduation, but the "everyday angels" who crossed their path throughout the journey, and the messages from Jessica after her “death” have been extraordinary. Winks from Heaven chronicles Susan’s journey after Jessica’s death, and the extraordinary stories of everyday angels who showed up to guide her path. Immediately, Susan began receiving heavenly "WINKS" of hope. But what began as a trickle exploded into a flood of communication--from strangers, sayings, symbols and signs with miraculous messages from beyond the veil—Message threads which knit her entire journey together and prove miracles can and do show up for ordinary people. And the most important message of all? LOVE NEVER DIES. Susan has collaborated with the Department of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia and has received endorsements and support from literary luminaries including Mitch Albom, Bob Goff, Bill Guggenheim, Dr. Eben Alexander and Dr. Bruce Greyson. Another not-to-be-missed program for all who can attend! See you there!
