In 2013, Pamela was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and given three to four months to live. Well, she didn't die! She's a living embodiment of someone who has embraced life with love, humor, compassion, and grace. Pamela will discuss how happiness is a choice and a way of life. She also shares how along the way there is sorrow and despair and loss, but you still have the choice to love and be happy. She is a fearless traveler into the world at large and continually explores the state of her being within. She has explored the world on foot, brought medical supplies to remote villages, tirelessly studies the mysteries of the world’s wisdom traditions, specializes in the physics of happiness, and uses short meditations for masterful and lightning quick results. Her father inspired her to live life and not wait around. She says: "His wisdom was delivered in only seconds; I must have been complaining about not having enough time or money to do something, and he said: 'If you wait to do something or go somewhere until you have enough time and money, you will never do it. Time will pass and it will never happen. Figure it out and do it.' I hope you, too, will take my father’s advice and do what you love." Dr. Pamela Ladd is the author of Living Happily By Your Own Design. To learn more about the Teachers of God Foundation and A Course in Miracles, please visit teachersofgod.org.
