Journey to the Light

This collection of Carmeline's work reflects the lessons experienced as she has continued her lifelong study of Truth, and integrated the principles of metaphysical and mystical teachings into her life.

Always striving to be the student, as well as the teacher, she has learned, applied, and refined what she has studied. Some lessons were repeated over and over; others were immediately absorbed.

Her "Journey to the Light" has brought her stability, peace, and a permanent way to resolve Life's challenges. It has also brought her joy, because it has enabled her to do what she loves-write about it.

Carmeline was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. She spent the first part of her life in theatre, working professionally as a theatrical lighting designer and stage manager. Marriage and raising a family of three boys and a girl led her to a new career as a songwriter and poet. Her first book of poetry Reflections on Myself was published in 1990; her second, TruthTeller (Xlibris) in 2000; and her third, Oneness in 2021. Like many poets, sensitive to the needs of humanity, Carmeline has been a social activist, environmentalist, and philanthropist for most of her life. To date, she is a Life member of the International New Th ought Alliance, and coordinator of its worldwide prayer ministry. In 2003, she received the prestigious Impresa Award from the Joint Civic Committee of Italian-Americans for her lifelong contribution of service to humanity and her career as a writer. The artwork found within Journey to the Light was designed by Carmeline's son, Charles Anthony Pusateri. It is with great pride that she shares his work as well.
