IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXPERIENCE JOY REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCE.
I am Living Proof
The first time I died I was 15 years old. I flew off a cliff on a motorbike and was declared dead on the operating table for two and a half minutes.
I had the whole NDE before it was fashionable. I met God that day.
Back in ICU I was told I’d never walk again, the doctor wanted to amputate my leg.
I told him “I’ll not only walk, I’ll dance on your grave!:
Within seven years I was a medal-winning ballroom dancer
I become a highly successful top level business executive in New Zealand.
I had a couple of great years, and convinced my husband to expand into Australia.
We moved into a fabulous apartment in Elizabeth Bay in Sydney, just in time to watch the Sydney to Hobart yacht race from our balcony.
A couple of months later, at 24 years old, I was hit by a drunk driver.
The spinal injuries suffered in the motorbike accident were reactivated.
I couldn’t speak without stuttering, walk or stand for more than a few minutes and I had lost 70% of the strength in the left side of my body.
Most challenging of all, when I became stressed, the soft tissue would swell at the back of my neck, preventing blood from going to my forebrain.
I would have about 3 minutes before I blacked out.
