Marquez, Lyrica: - Although Gayle's professional background includes an undergraduate degree in religion, an MSW, ordination as a metaphysical minister, and certification in two modalities as an energy healer and teacher, how to parent Lyrica, her nonverbal autistic daughter, has been became her life's most relevant training agenda. When Lyrica intuited a way to communicate via typing with Gayle, an enlightened teacher of the soul was born. Gayle and Lyrica's first book, AWEtizm, details their devoted mother-daughter relationship and their mystical path of awakening into a more enlightened understanding and experience of autism. After the book was published in 2011, Gayle and Lyrica began hosting live events, teleconferences, in-person meditation groups, and family retreats, building a partnership of lightworkers, nonverbal autistics, and their families to enhance humanity's process of spiritual evolution. In 2015, they stepped into a mentor-guided Ascension process. Lyrica no longer wished to simply write about her purpose; she wanted to become it. To do so, she needed to embody. Lyrica's Journey of Ascension demonstrates the value of pursuing a path of Ascension and de-mystifies the process through the lens of her own personal experiences. It is a rally call to all new consciousness pioneers, those who know they are here to make a difference and desire to do so. Gayle and Lyrica reside in Wickenburg, Arizona, where they often can be seen hiking along desert trails. Inside their cozy bungalow they enjoy meditating, writing, and connecting with others. Gayle and Lyrica's life is a testimony to the profound power of love, purpose, and spiritual partnership.
