Margot Storer"Narrated with an appealing voice that is laced with humour, Opening Doors is a compellingly honest account of Yvonne's life and the courageous journey she has taken in order to accept and properly utilise the great gifts she was born with." Dr Rosie Dub"Instinctively with every page I read in 'Opening Doors - The Enormity of Us', by Yvonne Fogarty, I knew that my friend, and my Reiki Master, was reopening my path so I could return home to my inner truths. Each of Yvonne's heartfelt chapters brought me to fresh tears; some were tears of recognition of a personal journey, tears of acknowledgment of our fears and setbacks, tears of understanding of what we each possess inside our very being to help guide us, and mostly tears of happiness and joy and love for this woman who inspires me and always will be my mentor. With Yvonne's endearing wit and humor as her book unfolded before me, I smiled and chuckled, as I heard the voice of a lady who is human, like any of us, and that felt so great to know that in being so human, I am not alone. I will carry many things with me from reading Yvonne's book, but one of the most important messages for me at this time of my life is now my new mantra, 'If our concscious awareness is not fully NOW HERE present within us, it is NO WHERE, to be able to fully support us.' Thanks my friend, for writing your inspiring story." Deborah Shucart

SET IN A HISTORIC INSTITUTION IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF SYDNEY...A work of fiction, where reality has been severely exaggerated with a mere occasional glimpse of the harsh truth. Donald has been unceremoniously thrust into the psychiatric hospital microcosm and while he is a smart, yet reluctant, anti-hero, trying to come to some sort of understanding of his odd situation; Donald didn't really think his life had been going so badly given this fresh perspective.

Its pages are scattered with ramblings about my mother's youth and my desire to give to her all that she has given to me yet realising it would take a billion lifetimes for me to even come close.
