…was killed in a car accident, went elsewhere (NDE), and was sent back…
…but that is not the story.

She didn’t come back with the answers to the great questions of life. She came back with profound amnesia and had to start over again with re-learning how to choose what to eat next on her dinner plate.

With medical treatment limited to strong pain killers and a pat on the head, even with brain damage and amnesia, she realized that if she was going to get her life back she would have to do it on her own.

Beginning with making marks on index cards (she could write, but not read) and attaching meaning to the marks, she began to rebuild her ability to learn and remember how to do basic tasks like preparing a meal or taking a shower and getting dressed without having a panic attack.

Those marks became words, then phrases and eventually maps of thought systems and how things worked in the world.

…and LifeMapping and the Re-Think-it Resources came into being.
