(Note from Cathy: “Stephen did a great job of interviewing me. He got me to share a bunch of stuff about recovering from the lasting effects of abortion–stuff I don’t usually share. So, I’ve decided to write a blog for the Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, January 17, 2021 around his interview. I really can’t wait to listen to the interview again myself! It really helps to have a friend ask the questions I wouldn’t think to answer. So watch for more. And thanks again, Stephen!”)

Geraldine Teggelove Live
“Behind every result is a ‘Cause’ created by us!” says author and life coach, Geraldine Teggelove Cathy felt so honored to be invited to share her WOW (Walk on Water) moment with Geraldine in a segment for this episode. When she shared about her abortion for the first time, Cathy expected rejection. Instead, compassion and respect is a powerful force for healing, says Cathy. Rejection is a force for destruction. “Walk on water” is a reference to Jesus’ power over nature. In this episode, Geraldine takes on the law of cause and effect. Geraldine says: “Yes, I understand if you are listening to this and thinking to yourself; ‘There is no way I have caused this! There is no way I would have created being broke and feeling so miserable! No, it is not my fault – this was caused by someone or something!’” In her lovely, genteel voice, Geraldine adds: “I promise that during this show I will help you understand why and also explain how you can turn things around so as to experience fabulous results. The results that will put a smile on your face and a song in your heart! WooHoo!”
