This site honors the life and legacy of James Wishinsky Sr.—a union drywall finisher, devoted husband, father, and man of quiet strength who gave over 45 years of loyal service to his trade and his country. James never took a paid vacation or sick day. He worked with bruised hands and an open heart, raising a family through love, loss, and endurance. At 65, he retired alongside his beloved wife, Dolores, finally ready to rest. But before they could live the life they’d earned, Dolores passed suddenly, and the dream they had postponed was taken from them. James lived on for another decade, courageously naming what too many fear to admit: that even a lifetime of hard work does not always guarantee dignity, safety, or peace.
His story is not his alone. It is the story of countless laborers, caregivers, and elders who hold up the world without complaint—only to find the systems they upheld do not uphold them in return. This tribute is written not just in remembrance, but as a call to reimagine what retirement, security, and justice truly mean. May James’s life be a spark for change, and may we carry his legacy forward by building a future where those who give everything are finally given the chance to rest, dream, and live fully.
Join us in funding groundbreaking research on how handwriting reveals — and heals — what’s hidden in the brain and body.
The Shirley Wishinsky Foundation is dedicated to advancing cutting-edge neurological research into the connection between handwriting and brain health. Founded by Josephine Diamond, an expert in graphology, neimology, addiction recovery, and the creator of Alphabatology, our work centers on exploring how trauma, memory, and disease are stored and expressed through the hands — and how they can be healed.
We believe that “issues in the tissues”—especially those affecting the brain—can be accessed and transformed through the powerful, often overlooked pathway of handwriting.

Your support funds innovative research and practical solutions:
Brain Scan Studies: Collaborating with neuroscientists to map handwriting changes to brain activity
Teacher Training in Alphabetology: Equipping educators and therapists with tools for early intervention
Public Awareness Campaigns: Spreading knowledge about the handwriting–brain connection
Healing Programs: Offering community-based recovery and healing initiatives using Alphabatology principles

Josephine: “The One Who Increases” | Diamond: “Refined Through Pressure Into Light”
Josephine Diamond is the visionary behind Alphbatology—a multidimensional system that weaves together intentional handwriting transformation, Neimology (the frequency science of names), and energetic pattern recognition. With over 15 years of devoted study and personal embodiment, Josephine has guided thousands to rewrite their inner narratives by decoding the soul-level imprints embedded in their names and letters. Born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, and shaped by an early journey of healing through childhood illness, immigration, and adoption, Josephine carries a profound understanding of karmic lineage and the sacred codes passed through generations.
Her work draws upon diverse wisdom traditions—from the Vimala Rogers Alphabet and Kabbalah to neuroscience and spiritual psychology—culminating in a powerful truth: we are living letters. Through Alphbatology, Josephine teaches that by shifting our handwriting and understanding the symbolic frequencies of our names, we can repattern trauma, align with our soul’s divine curriculum, and reclaim our sacred purpose. Beyond her role as a teacher and guide, she is a spiritual mother, grandmother, and guardian of YunaT, her golden doodle and heart companion. Her daughter, Angelica Grace Diamond & Johnathan James Wishinsky, remains the radiant inspiration at the heart of all she creates. More than a modality, Alphbatology is a language of remembrance—a path home to who we truly are.
