Long Time No See
Diaries of an Unlikely Messenger
Winner—2010 Independent Publisher Book Award for Humor
One part deeply personal memoir and two parts rip-snorting spiritual adventure, Long Time No See is a powerfully moving, occasionally profane, and often hilarious account of one person s single-minded search for enlightenment.
Carrie Triffet’s true-life journey takes her from reluctant orthodox Jewish beginnings into a devout twenty-year practice of Nichiren Buddhism. Intending to remain a Buddhist for life, she is wholly unprepared when a profound awakening in 2005 unexpectedly changes everything, leading her insistently into a life beyond religion.
Join her on this odyssey that begins in the Midwest and travels to sunny Southern California by way of London, Paris, and the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. Learn the metaphysical lessons offered by a swanky Vegas hotel room, a past life crime scene, and a ferocious lightning storm at 30,000 feet (among many others), as Carrie relays the messages of universal truth that she is given to share with us all.
Reviews
“We love this book! Filled with authentic Guidance, Carrie takes us on a fascinating spiritual journey; one that gently leads us away from fear and doubt.
This is a “can’t put it down” book that’s spiked with joyous and irreverent humor. Carrie demonstrates through her trust in following Spirit, what is possible for all of us, and how life is meant to be lived as a co-creator with God.”
Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira, Co-authors
Take Me to Truth; Undoing the Ego
Using plain, everyday language, Long Time No See clearly illuminates the principles of A Course in Miracles as they apply to everyday life. A genuinely helpful and interesting book. Did I mention it’s also funny as hell?”

The Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality
Meet Carrie
Many years ago I was told I’m “an open window between worlds.” I didn’t know what that meant back then; all I knew was that time and space played tricks on me, glow-in-the-dark “ghosts” were my nightly companions, and from a young age I seemed to have a very different experience of the world than most of the people I knew. Yet it wasn’t until many years later that I began to understand just how different it really was.
Then during my years of Buddhist practice, and in a much more turbo-charged way after the 2005 awakening, I began to experience powerful visions, trances and out-of-body experiences as well. The book chronicles each of these, in addition to all of the fascinating conversations with Spirit.
Why was I chosen as Spirit’s messenger? Beats me. But it’s clear I’m uniquely qualified for the job.

How We Met
I met Carrie on Twitter. A few weeks later her manuscript arrived via email and I thought I’d read a few pages before lunch. Seven hours later I looked up from the screen, realized the sun was setting and that I’d only left the computer to drink water and pee. Needless to say it was a joy to help her birth her first book. Love the power of social media . . . and Divine connections.
