Marcia Rowe has focused her life on creating beauty in many forms. She received a BFA from Moore College of Art, Philadelphia, PA and is a fine artist, muralist and graphic designer. Marcia's spiritual journey has led her to write The Three Keys to Contentment. She lives in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Praise for The Three Keys to Contentment: 
"Marcia has distilled the essence of Eastern and Western wisdom that will generate much thought about the meaning and goal of one's life. Both the Buddhist concept of acceptance and transcendence and Jesus' teaching about forgiveness do not imply forgetfulness, but rather learning from the past and yielding any claims it might have on your future...Inner peace comes from knowing that one is loved by our Creator, that life has a purpose, and that contentment is derived from satisfaction and fulfillment. Before one can look at the world, one must first look within in order to discover this. The Three Keys to Contentment will be a helpful guide to this awareness." —The Rev. Dr. Harry L. Serio, pastor, theologian, author of The Dwelling Place of Wonder "The gently delivered material, which is filled with love and compassion...is offered as a simple, accessible guide for modern life...I love the book and can think of a dozen people I'd like to hand it to, today."—Sarajane Williams, MA, licensed psychologist, CCM, VAHT, editor, The Harp Therapy Journal "Marcia portrays a unique and creative approach for looking at one's life; the past, the present and the future. In allowing yourself to open your heart and to embark upon her journey, you may find the answers to the many questions for which you are searching."—Samantha Wesner, MSN, CRNP, RNC, nurse practitioner and wellness enthusiast "Marcia is a skillful intuitive who has compassionately and clearly laid out a genuinely helpful book for those who become interested in awakening to inner guidance in the midst of life."—Wali Ali Meyer, Universal Sufi master and co-author of Physicians of the Heart "The Three Keys to Contentment opened my eyes to the substantial abilities we already have inside us. Because of this book, I now recognize the keys in my own life and know how to use them."—Jan McGinley Bubbenmoyer, author of The Tree of Love and visual stylist

Epigraph Books

These powerful angelic teachings from beyond the physical are here to open us to the multi-layers of thought processes that create our consciousness...giving us the ability to transform ourselves; in this transformation we strengthen our power... to keep a mental, physical, and emotional balance through a higher perspective. The book draws a clear picture of all the unseen energy that exists within each living being. It describes how man/woman fell into illusion through their ego. There is a continuous flow of reason in the describing of how this took place, showing clearly how the human fell victim to his senses in his/her physical reality...and thereby became obsessed with the physical body.

The Angels Ask: Are You Ready? The one question that you are asked is, "Are you ready?" A bigger story is now unfolding, and it is your choice whether to be part of that story or watch it unfold from the sidelines. The greatest gift you have is being alive in a body at this time of immense changes and the opportunity to follow your path of truth and light. Human consciousness is ascending as a whole, along with Earth's vibration to its next evolutionary step. You, the one following your heart, are being asked to be one of the columns that support the bridge now being built to a new level of consciousness. Every transition aspires to be organic in form and pace to allow the ones who are destined to pave this road to build these bridges, creating a new roadmap for others to follow. This is what you are called to do and be. You are asked if you are ready to be part of that bridge and embody the pathway for others to follow. You are asked if you are ready to live from your heart, breathe from your heart, communicate from your heart, act from your heart, think from your heart, and feel from your heart. You are asked to be a pulsating, throbbing heart of light, opening and charting a new vibration for others to live by example. You are asked to be in that frequency all the time, even when you are asleep. Are you ready? We are not asking you to imagine it in some esoteric way; we are asking you to be it. And So Be It is you building a bridge that was never there before and taking a road that did not exist, paving it so the whole frequency of human consciousness aligns via the new coherent resonance that you are embodying through your heart. This is your potential and what this book is all about. You have asked to move higher. We have given you the roadmap. It is on you to step forward and manifest it, are you ready?

The Angels Say: It is our intention to help you realize your full potential by guiding you through the mechanism of spirit. From our perspective it is simple. You have two main tools and the rest is a variation on this theme. The first is love, and the second is intent. These two are the vehicle and the fuel.You contain all you need, and you create what you need when you are in the now. When you are walking hand in hand with your breath, feeling your heartbeat, you are powerful. The joy comes from being you with you.You are vibrating instruments. To yourselves, you appear solid, but to us you are a vibration. We see you in terms of your colors, we see you in terms of your light, we see you in terms of the shapes that surround you, and we can hear your melody. You are a giant orchestra and pyrotechnic display, combined. You are beautiful to us; you are magnificent in every way.When a human plants a seed of enlightenment, all around will begin to see the light. Light does not have an agenda. Light does not try to convince anyone of its attribute. Light just reveals what is there.It is an awesome power to realize your oneness and to set an intention to vibrate at a higher frequency. Discovering your true purpose and your oneness will manifest a bridge of light that will open the path to a new consciousness.

Conversation with Angels: Volume I

The Angels Say: Your mission is to be who you are, to know who you are and to vibrate at your highest potential. When you do, you are the most magnificent lighthouse and even though the storm around you surges and the wind is blowing, your light is making all the difference to those who are seeking. You are in the midst of a change of energy and it is intensifying.You are coming into a new energy. It is the energy of change for the entire planetary consciousness and all of you will have to adjust to the new tune. The tune that is being introduced to you is the one of unity consciousness. It is the tune that delivers to you the frequency of the "New Sun." It is your time to choose as all of you will face the dilemma of light or dark; separation or unity.We are your messengers reminding you of what you already know. We are here to remind you that you are indeed loved, that you are family, and to remind you that there is never a judgment on how far you reach. You are light and you are eternal. We wish you to realize that everything you see around you was created for you so you can move to where you are standing now. We wish you to take one more step forward so you can remember who you are and remind others who they are. We wish you to know that you are a part of God, and so be it.

Conversation with Angels: And So Be It: Volume II

The Angels Say: There is no one out there more powerful than you regarding your own life. You are a master; it is time for you to acknowledge it, moving forward, knowing that there are no victims, no coincidences, and no accidents in the journey you call human life. There is you and your awareness. When you are awake, acting from awareness of your own divinity, you are powerful, as you are linked to the energy of God and love. When you are asleep, acting without awareness, you are disconnected from the energy of love and the actions you bring forth may need to be balanced through karma. Actions done from love release and clear karmic debt; actions done from energy other than love often increase your karmic balance sheet. The days are getting shorter as you are moving from one phase of your journey to the next. This journey never ends, but it changes. You are in the midst of that change and many of you are aware of the instability of the fulcrum point inside of you. It feels wobbly like seesaw riding. Even those of you who used to be in a place of balance find it challenging to stay still. Your nights are less restful and your days offer you many opportuntities to test your place of awareness. It is the time of initiation and tests; many of you feel that you want to get off this train, but it does not stop. With all love, we embrace you with our wings and whisper in your ears that it's time.

Conversation with Angels: It's Time: Volume III

The period just before the Civil War was a time of dark division that challenged the essence of our American Democracy, much like our divided country of today. 
In New England during the antebellum period also known as the plantation era before the Civil War, Josh and Emily, two young white abolitionists, attend a meeting where they are introduced to four young blacks, two of whom were escaped slaves. The six unite and come together as friends, all with a similar intent, to help raise the consciousness of the slaves down south. Together, in deeply divided times, they hatch a plan to create a phony plantation on Hurricane Island in the Vicksburg, Mississippi area shortly before the Civil War. 
Nate, a very fine young chef who cooked many years for his slave master in the years before his escape, offers to teach the culinary arts to southern slaves, as a vehicle for consciousness raising. Jackson teaches slaves to view the bible as a revolutionary document. 
The four black slaves live under a constant cover up of their real life mission, as they imitate being the slave of their two white friends Emily and Josh. It is not easy. The group works under constant threat of dealing with slave hunters and being unmasked. 
Joan and Wilma, free blacks, pretend to work as slaves, to carry out their heartfelt mission instilling awareness in the southern slaves at all odds. As a function of working together in close quarters, romance and passion develop within the group. 
Josh, a firm abolitionist, joins the Confederate army as a union spy in his plan to help the slaves revolt. The plot carries through the siege of Vicksburg and the end of the Civil War. 
The group’s teamwork and support for each other prevail through many life challenges and intrigues. This book gives a solid framework to view the events in today’s America.
