Where to Start After a successful career as an accountant at the age of 54 Barbara found her true self and ventured onto her spiritual quest searching out the ultimate plate of Burnt Toast and Oranges of her spirit. Burnt Toast and Oranges, her favorite breakfast growing up as a kid (and still is...) was a simple joy that filled her with an internal glow that started off her day. The trick she had to learn was how to hold that internal feeling throughout the whole and beyond. At the age of 54 she sought out how to transmute the physical bread and fruit to something more powerful and spiritual. After much time, study, and dedication she had accomplished this Burnt Toast and Orange State of mind! Now with any gift, the real crux and responsibility is to learn how to share your blessings to the multitudes. So on Valentines Day in 1990 the Salem Love Psychic began advising people from all over the world on how to find the happiness and love she had found within herself. Since then Barbara has learned to offer all she encounters the 'all you can eat breakfast buffet of the Spirit'. Burnt Toast and Oranges: the Miss Adventures of Salem Love Psychic are a collection of profound but sometimes quirky short stories Barbara has encountered within the Witch City of Salem MA; followed by a revealing of these stories' metaphysical lessons and truths. Sometimes as ribaldry as the Sufi stories of the Infallible Mullah Nasruddin. Each story can be reread again and again, for the stories are as multilayered like the common onion (not one of Barbara's favorite breakfast choices...) revealing new meanings and truths for different times and occasions in your life.
