I just started my dream job—I am now an author and a speaker. I still work a "day job", which pays the bills, but in time who knows where this whole writing and speaking thing may lead...
I am most proud of my son Steven who lost his brother and took the pain from that event to refine himself as a person. He has grown into a wonderful, caring, respectful, and wise young man at the ripe age of 25.
Without question, my greatest loss in life was the passing of my youngest son, Brandon, in January, 2004. But that tragedy also served as a catalyst that pushed me in a direction that I would not have previously anticipated. My pain drove me to search for answers to deep questions about life, death, and life after death.
My father, Dr. Richard Ireland, was a prominent psychic back in the 60's through the 80's and he counseled celebrities like Mae West. After Brandon's passing, I recalled my father's amazing gift, which I'd witnessed countless times, finding both comfort and intrigue. This led me on a personal exploration to seek out answers to these deeper questions about our existence.
My journalistic account of this search culimnated in a book called, SOUL SHIFT, released on July 15, 2008. In SOUL SHIFT I share personal experiences involving paranormal events, as well as other compelling evidence derived from meetings with top mediums such as Allison Dubois. My findings support the hypothesis that we are more than our bodies and that personality and consciousness survive physical death...brain and mind are not the same thing.
I've also begun speaking to others who've lost loved ones—especially those who have lost children—helping them learn positive ways to cope with grief, so they can carry on and not give up on life.
Who I'd most like to meet: If time were not an issue, I'd most like to meet Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, Joan of Arc, Plato, Thomas Aquinas, Sir Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein. In today's world, I'd like to meet the Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, and Wayne Dyer.
It has been most difficult for me to share the type of information I am now disseminating, because I feared ridicule. I have largely overcome this fear, because I realize the importance of this effort far outweighs any concerns tied to ego preservation. This information must not be suppressed, because it allows people to see past their pain, enabling them to carry on with full, rich lives, sharing their gifts with the world.
