The Inspiration Behind Awakening to Presence
Like many of us, Rosemarie found herself confronting moments that leave a lingering ache - arguments, misunderstandings, and the questions they leave behind. She noticed how unresolved emotional wounds can echo for years, shaping relationships, families, and communities in quiet but lasting ways.
What stayed with her was how rarely these moments are met with true understanding and awareness. This question took root early in her life - why do the same patterns of suffering continue, generation after generation?
This inquiry was not merely intellectual. It lived in her and eventually found expression in the writing of Awakening to Presence - not as a set of answers, but as a return to clarity and a deeper way of seeing what is already here.
The Unfolding Recognition
Born in London and raised in the sunlit stillness of Perth, Rosemarie later moved to the United States, where she became a citizen. Over the years, she lived and traveled across Europe and Asia, experiencing life through many cultures, languages, and ways of being.
Throughout these changes, a quiet inner recognition continued to unfold. Different cultures and wisdom traditions pointed to the same underlying truth - something timeless beneath beliefs, philosophies, and identities. Like pieces of a puzzle, they reflected what had always been present, waiting to be noticed.
These lived experiences now flow through her writing. Her books reflect Presence as it is lived within ordinary experience - relationships, challenges, and the quiet movement of everyday life.
