Tricia's Early Years

Growing up in East Texas, Tricia enjoyed riding horses and swimming in the lake with friends, cherishing those joyful moments in nature. However, her childhood was also marked by turmoil; her mother struggled with mental illness, leading to emotional and sometimes physical abuse. This tumultuous environment left Tricia feeling isolated, prompting her to find solace in books and academics.

Her aspirations of escaping her impoverished upbringing led her to law school, where she secured $20,000 in scholarships through writing competitions and enrolled at the University of Texas. However, college life took a toll, and she fell into a cycle of substance abuse and depression. Encouraged by her therapist, she began training for the Austin 10K, only to be haunted by a nightmare the night before the race.

The Accident

A few days post-race, tragedy struck. While driving, Tricia was struck by another vehicle traveling at 60 mph. The other driver, miscalculating the traffic light, collided with her car. A passing nurse stayed by her side until paramedics arrived.

Tricia's condition was critical, and due to the uncertainty surrounding her spinal surgery, she was denied pain relief. Despite the agony, she was determined to undergo the procedure, focusing more on her desire to walk again than on her chances of survival.

After hours of suffering, she was finally wheeled into surgery. As the operation began, Tricia experienced an out-of-body sensation, feeling an expanded awareness. She perceived large beings who assured her she would survive and walk again. She witnessed the glowing energy being channeled through the surgeon to mend her spine. Then, without warning, her pulse flatlined.

A Journey Beyond

In the aftermath, Tricia found herself floating among the stars, contemplating her existence with newfound clarity. She realized that being human was akin to donning a costume for a role in a play; shedding the physical form revealed her true essence. The awareness that consciousness persists beyond physical life was exhilarating, and she longed to share this revelation with everyone she had ever known.

Tricia felt an overwhelming desire to send love and positive energy to those she remembered, which culminated in a beautiful experience among the stars. She encountered a brilliant light that radiated intelligence and love, conveying that love was the essence of human experience.

As the light revealed her life, Tricia recalled her childhood compassion for animals and moments of faith. However, it also presented her with a pivotal lesson regarding her past attitudes toward others. She reflected on a couple from her part-time job who had shown her kindness despite her dismissive behavior toward them.

This realization sparked a determination within Tricia to change her perspective, understanding that while her soul knew how to be, societal pressures often obscured this truth.

The Call to Teach

After her life review, Tricia felt a wave of insecurity dissolve, replaced by an overwhelming sense of love. The light urged her to look down and observe a river filled with people—some shrouded in shadows, others illuminated. She recognized that those with light were connected to God, and the choices they faced boiled down to love or fear.

Tricia thought she could return with a message to encourage love over fear, but the divine presence insisted she would be a teacher, contrary to her aspirations of wealth and adventure. Although she had envisioned a future in law, God’s direction was clear.

Upon regaining consciousness, Tricia’s first thought was, "I just had a near-death experience." While she had anticipated this moment, returning to her body felt bittersweet. She yearned to share her experience but soon realized that not everyone would be receptive.

The Road to Recovery

During her lengthy recovery, Tricia moved in with her mother and stepfather, utilizing early morning walks to rehabilitate. The elderly neighbors she encountered were curious about her NDE, which led to many heartfelt conversations.

Over nine months, Tricia immersed herself in spiritual literature and learned to lucid dream, aiding her integration of the experience. She transformed from a guarded individual to someone overflowing with love and compassion, perceiving light in every person she met.

Becoming an Educator

Tricia pursued a teaching certification, eager to share her newfound insights. On her first day, she candidly expressed her reluctance to be there, sharing her NDE with her students. This honesty fostered a deep connection, prompting them to share their aspirations and dreams.

Her classroom became a sacred space filled with laughter, learning, and transformation, marking the beginning of her journey as an educator.
