Your Name: Tia Salingre-Williams
Where you live:
Cliffside Park,
New Jersey, USA
What you do as a vocation or avocation?
I’m an author of spiritual books. My latest novel is The Lapponia Scriptures, a mystical story of love and adventure. I try to help as much as I can homeless and abused animals. A few years ago, I also wrote a small book to help.
Your two favorite songs: Bette Midler: Wind Beneath My Wings. Josh Groban: You Raise Me Up. (Many more but you only asked for two.)
Why you are interested in spirituality? Ever since I was a child, it’s been with me. Over all these years, it’s been growing. Many things has happened to make it stronger and real.
Your favorite quote: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” I got this message from the other side and don’t know whose it is.
Your favorite web sites: www.lapponiascriptures.com
Your hero? (Many!) Mother Teresa and my own mother who at an early age became paralyzed. Always kind, sweet and never ever complained. Loved me unconditionally always.
A spiritual lesson you hope to learn?
To have more quiet time to be still and meditate and pray.
A place in the world where you feel spiritually “connected?”
Even though I lived here in New Jersey for almost 40 years, my heart is still in Helsinki, Finland, where I was born. But in my dreams when I sleep, I go back there so often and for that I am so grateful.
The Lapponia Scriptures: A mystical story of love and adventure is in development as a Hollywood movie at Atophill Films.
