ONE WITH ALL OF THEE
Sowing The Seeds for Change

Born in a small town in central Pennsylvania, Celine’s childhood was marked by her unique gift of sensitivity. As a kid trying to put a name on something she trusted but couldn’t really explain, she articulated the experience as the presence of imaginary friends she named her “Tovarysh,” which is the word for friend in the Slavic language. These divine messengers, her Tovarysh, have remained a benevolent presence to this day, guiding her through all aspects of her life.

After receiving a biology degree from Bucknell University, Celine pursued a career in medical research both at Stanford University Medical Center and Duke University Medical Center. She has over 30 publications in infectious disease, biochemistry and cardiovascular scientific journals. Twelve years ago, Celine realized a lifelong dream when she became a blueberry farmer, in addition to pursuing her professional career. Now retired from her research career, she continues to be a successful blueberry farmer, with her bushes now yielding over 3000 pounds of blueberries each season. She supplies many of the university and corporate cafeterias in the area.

Following the guidance of her Tovarysh to share the divine wisdom passed down to her, she started a blog five years ago, TheTovaryshConnection. Later, she assembled a collection of these messages as a practical tool for readers and published her first book, One With All of Thee: Growing Your Sacred Connection.

Recently, Celine was guided to continue sharing the messages from her Tovarysh with a second book, One With All of Thee: Sowing the Seeds for Change. It addresses the fear that shadows us all during these times of transition. By encouraging us to replace that fear with love, these messages of hope and empowerment show us how we can be the vehicles for positive change in this world.
