I have three siblings and we all agree we were raised in a loving, well-disciplined home. My father was farming when I was born, and those are my first memories until I was four years old when we left the farm. We were dirt poor then but a happy family, never lacking the essentials. My parents were hard working and our family was slowly but continuously upwardly mobile economically. I am and always will be grateful for my rewarding childhood. </p>

It was my first time meditating. I always wanted to learn how. After some tips from a friend, I tried again when I found myself home alone, which is rare when you have 3 kids.</p>
<p>I had believed I had to be dead to find myself in Heaven. I 100% know it wasn’t a dream. It’s still amazing to me it happened. I’ve always believed my experience is meant to be shared. To experience that kind of love, I have to share it. Wow, I can’t stress enough the love God has for us. The warmth that covered me and how unconditional it is made me feel perfect. Perfectly loved as I am, no matter what.</p>
