For the first years after my NDE, I only shared the knowledge with those close to me, then that grew to sharing with small groups. In 1987, I began writing my experience in pamphlet form at first to share with her cancer patients. Eventually, I began speaking publicly to larger groups, one of which was the International Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS) as well as various grief groups and church gatherings. My efforts were brought to a halt when my father became ill and I became his sole caregiver. In 1991 that changed, when I was told by the Spirit: “It is time to write the book.” I was “shown” what to write as well as how to finish the manuscript in book form. I was also told that the right Publisher would come to me. The result was my book, Embraced by the Light, whose phenomenal success quickly thrust me into the public spotlight. After “Embraced” was published, I gave up my hypnotherapy practice and began traveling extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Ireland. My speaking events center on what I learned about life and the life-beyond, and what awaits us all when we return back home to God, our Creator.
