Thank you for being here! I am honored to spend time with you!

Do you believe in heaven?

No matter where you stand in your faith journey—whether you believe in Jesus or not—doubt is something we all face as we grow spiritually and navigate life’s ups and downs. Let’s be honest: there are seasons when everything feels like it’s falling apart, when discouragement feels overwhelming, and hope seems out of reach. In those moments, it’s natural to ask, “God, where are You? Is there really something more to hold on to? Are there really amazing things ahead?”

Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing: I can vouch that it exists and that God wants you there with Him. Yes, you are that valuable to Him.

Here is what changed everything for me:

I went to heaven.

Isn’t that crazy? I still can’t believe it happened. I am a long-term believer in Jesus, although my spiritual walk has greatly fluctuated throughout my life. And I have long been fascinated by the miraculous…but never expected it to happen to me. I might have laughed at you if you’d told me someday I’d be part of a unique NDE (near-death experience) club or that I would hear His voice even before my (final) death.

Guess what? His voice is a vibrant, deeply layered baritone. Or at least that is how it was presented to me. I don’t know why I always thought He would be a bass. Because I affiliate deep voices with power? Like Jafar? Like Mufasa and Scar? Perhaps.

Here is what ChatGP says - “Studies suggest that a deep voice is often perceived as more authoritative, confident, and dominant, which can be associated with power.” So I guess it’s not just me.

I'm sharing my journey and the lessons I've learned along the way just for you.

As a new subscriber, these lessons and stories are yours to pursue and share with others.

You will receive:

• An email each time I post (currently 2-4 times a month)

• True angelic intervention and other miraculous stories

• Lessons God continues to teach me about heaven, relationships, and our personal connection with Him

• My NDE Recovery Journal as I continue to process my experience

A gift for you:

I have compiled a list of songs reminiscent of heaven that help me keep my focus on this place I now long for. I still add new songs as I find them. Access it on YouTube here. And don’t hesitate to let me know if you have recommendations for the list! You can email me here.

Why Subscribe?

WHAT’S THE DIFF between paid subscribers and free subscribers? ALL subscribers receive access to regular posts. I don’t want to keep those from anyone. However, if you want access to special posts, you will need to be a paid subscriber. In addition, paid subscribers will get free new books from me when published (or pre-published) and upcoming invites to special events on Zoom. For the price of a latte and a half per month, you help to fund my insatiable need to research more on heaven since my return, plus you are assisting others who cannot afford a subscription. I truly appreciate your help. <

If you cannot afford a subscription but truly want these benefits, please let me know. Paid members sometimes donate to others, and I also have a small amount set aside for this. I would be happy to consider you for a subsidized subscription.

Have a Miraculous, Angel or Near-Death Story?

I would love to hear from you. Several projects are in the works and your story could potentially be a part of that. Email me here.
