SAD Never got a Response From New York Botanical Garden , Please Give the Disabled Discount Tickets

The Disabled Deserve Access To Beauty and New York Resources!


Hey surprise, I have an (invisible) disability. I know many of people in my life are surprised to hear this. That's why I am writing more and more about it these days. Including my latest book--soon to be announced.

People with disabilities are here, alive and entitled to a a life with joy and opportunities. But the cost for the disabled is high and money coming in is usually very low, poverty level in fact, unless they happen to have some saved resources, which many do not.

Beauty for Pain©

One of my passions is to infuse beauty into my and other's lives to ease the pain that comes with many disabilities. I call it Beauty for Pain©. 

For those who live in an urban area, going to simple natural space like a park or garden does wonders for a person in pain. But what if that place offers discounts for other populations but not the disabled? Would you feel even more pain? A lack of inclusion in enjoying the healing benefits of nature?

In search of an oasis New York Botanical Garden but shocked at what I found

Personally I could benefit from the beauty nature exhibits in the Botanical Garden. With limited funds I searched if they had any discounts. This is what i found:



I then contacted them shocked the disabled population was not included in their discount program. Where was the discount for persons with disabilities? Not there. In fact, please see what I got from the New York City's Botanical Garden Spokesperson.

As with most cultural institutions, a discount for the disabled is not commonly offered. We will inform our upper management regarding your concerns. Feel free to visit the Garden on Wednesdays or Saturday mornings before 10am for a free Grounds ticket. The Grounds ticket includes access to our beautiful 250 acre grounds including the Native Forest, Azalea Garden, and Rose Garden. Be advised, the grounds ticket does not include full access to the CHIHULY exhibition, the tram tour and Everett Children’s Adventure Garden.

I see you don't have discounts for people with disabilities, why is that? I am in my 40's but do get medicare and am disabled with financial limitations. Going to Botanical Garden would be therapeutic for my condition but I don't see you offer discounts for people like me but you do for students, seniors etc.

Wait, What Just happened in this Email Exchange? 

I'm afraid given the choice of only one day on the grounds was not what I was looking for. I may need to be indoors depending on my current health situation and most importantly I want to enjoy the exhibit just like the students, seniors and children. What is the logical, reasonable reason for not including people with disabilities, can someone please explain?
Dear "upper management", time to make some positive change for the disabled.

Paranormal Information for the Rest of us

What would you expect research and statistics to say about what we think of the paranormal? That they believe in ghosts, haunted houses, telepathy/ESP, UFO’s, spiritual awakening, out-of-body experiences or tons of other types of experiences?

I noticed something odd while looking at the research, watching many paranormal programs, and reading books, articles and blogs. I noticed that people by far were asking , “Am I crazy” when they experience spiritual and paranormal events. What if you were cleared medically, physically and emotionally of any conditions and still experienced things you could not explain by normal means? This is what can happen during a spiritual awakening or paranormal encounter.

Would you be surprised to know that 3 out of 4 Americans believe in various types of paranormal experiences, according to a Gallup Poll? That’s a lot of people and doesn’t even include other countries. So many people are reporting paranormal experiences that it makes complete sense to really take a look at may be going on. If indeed there is paranormal phenomenon occurring then what effect does that have on the experiencer?

With the deluge of material out there including shows on the supernatural, books, blogs, psychics you would think it’s easier to get answers. Unfortunately, it can be even more overwhelming and maddening when all you want is to know what’s going on and that you really aren’t going insane. You can also feel lonely, angry, frightened and frustrated when people in your life cannot support or understand because they aren’t experiencing the same issues.

My desire is to provide information, confirmation, validation, support and resources for various spiritual, paranormal and supernatural occurrences, so that there is a relief knowing you’re not alone on journey …

Here you will find a primer of sorts exploring a variety of topics including:
·        What incidents can be classified as paranormal versus an ordinary experience?
·        What can trigger a spiritual crisis?
·        How to identify spiritual signs and synchronicities which are meant for you
·        What a near death experience is.
·        What tools you can use to gently awaken your own intuition.
·        What yoga can do as a tool for healing.
·        What steps to take for self-care during your spiritual journey. 
·        What the difference is between benign supernatural experiences and frightening or dark paranormal incidents.
·        What to do and how to recognize psychic vampires versus a true healer.
·        See images of orbs or possible angelic signs.

Although I had academic background in psychology, over 24 years of experience as a crisis counselor, and general advisor, nothing could have prepared me for my own dark night of the soul and spiritual crisis. This led to a psychic opening that allowed me to not only embrace my gift as an Empath (a spiritual sensitive) but to use it all to provide information and healing to others.

The ability to incorporate traditional counseling skills, spiritual coaching, advising, broadcasting, and speaking about not only my experience but the experience of others is utilized to ensure you that there are answers out there. You will also get a bonus section on how to create your own sacred space, anywhere simply and effectively. Additionally you can access archived radio broadcasts anytime.

Those who are overwhelmed and frightened by their spiritual emergence can know that there is information, tools, support, that can allow you to embrace your spiritual journey with confidence and joy because you’re not crazy, it’s paranormal!

Acclaim for “You’re Not Crazy, It’s Paranormal!”



“The spiritual search begins when life and the world as you once knew it transforms into something other, something often unexplainable and incomprehensible.   This book will introduce you to ancient thoughts and concepts to help guide you on your way.  Trust the journey.” 
~Bruce Joel Rubin  
Screenwriter, GHOST, JACOB’S LADDER, MY LIFE, 1991 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Screenplay for the 1990 psychological thriller Jacob's Ladder. 

“Diana Navarro’s new book ‘You’re not Crazy, It’s Paranormal!’ is a must read for anyone bold enough to embrace his or her own spirituality.  For those who experiences massive doses of the sixth sense the question really is, ‘How do you know you are not going crazy?’
Diana Navarro does a wonderful job of explaining how one’s spiritual awakening is indeed a natural process and how it can be exciting, beguiling, and at time unsettling.  As Diana correctly points out, those of us who take that courageous step toward embracing enhanced sixth sense sensitivity are not mentally imbalanced.  The spiritual journey is not an easy one, yet is rewarding beyond measure. This book is for anyone open minded enough to realize that there is more to a person then what meets the eye. And, it is for those who realize that healing is a gift from God which is sent to us in many beautiful forms.” 
~Mark Anthony the Psychic Lawyer®
Author of Evidence of Eternity
and Never Letting Go

"[Diana Navarro is] full of energy and ideas – and have a lot to offer to others…Very few people show [this] kind of initiative and intelligence."
~Kenneth Roman former CEO of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, Author of The King of Madison Avenue: David Ogilvy, The Making of Modern Advertising, and Writing That Works, Second Edition

"A spiritual soul, performer and writer, Diana Navarro approaches the still-somewhat "taboo" topic of the paranormal with insight, thoughtfulness and wit. She adds a slice of humor to a world that many feel is forbidden. She makes those of us who harbor a sixth or seventh sense feel as though we're part of the norm, not outcast. Blending the practical with the ethereal, she also suggests techniques to enhance and expand ones spiritual skills.
From the historical to the philosophical, “You're Not Crazy, It’s Paranormal!” will make you feel like a Kid with a balloon , simultaneously floating on air and skipping on the ground. Like most things the general population has not yet accepted, the paranormal is in that limbo category of " not yet accepted"-- Diana is doing her utmost to lasso in the paranormal back into the corral of acceptance and warm heartedness.

“There are 8 million real-life stories in the naked city, some involving the paranormal and things that defy conventional explanations—and native New Yorker Diana Navarro, drawing on her own experiences, brings a decidedly urban perspective to the subject of the paranormal in the intriguing ‘You’re Not Crazy! It’s Paranormal!?’”
