TWO YEARS AGO TODAY

On October 30, 2013, two years ago today, I had an "out-of-body" experience in the Emergency Room. I had suffered a ruptured appendix. I had a widespread infection and was later told by my doctor that I came as close to death as anyone can.

Glimpsing heaven was such a normal experience. There was a beautiful light which I knew was a spiritual being. I knew it was not my time and stated so; adding "I am not ready. I am going back" I have no idea what that means today, but did know at the time I said it.

Since then, I have shared my story with patients when guided from my heart. I don't share it often, but when I do, it is amazing how helpful it is to patients. In these past two years, I have continually questioned, "What is it all about? What do I do with it?" I have been told by others that I came back as have more patients to help. I have come to terms that my role is to share my story one person at a time, and that is what I do.

It just was such a profound, remarkable experience, I feel like I should do so much more. But what? I am honored and humbled by this experience. I pray I do it justice. I just know it has changed my life to where I daily count my blessings for those who are in my life. In the end, it is not what's in your life, but who is. Thank you God for this amazing lesson.


TWO YEARS AGO TODAY


I've been thinking about it a lot today.
Still wondering what to do.
Two years later, and still no answers.
I still don't know what it means.

He told me I have more patients to help.
That is why I came back.
I do share my story when it feels right.
Giving me purpose in my life.

It may not be all that complicated.
Just tell my story when guided from my heart.
Those magical moments when I have done so.
Helping another along my way.

Thank you for the peek; the experience.
I'll just continue doing what I have been doing.
Tell my story; share my perception.
The answers may come,
          when the questions are no longer needed.
