PREFACE.

Writing this book has been a deep healing experience for me. I have known for many years that I wanted to write this journey down on paper. People have been asking me about my personal self-lived experiences, so I knew this day was coming. For a very long time I have been holding back, waiting for the perfect time, not even knowing what that would look like. I can clearly see that there was simply more information that I needed to gather, for it to be a part of this book.

From constantly loading up on information, experimenting and finding more and more truth, I was shown that this was the time. This was the time to focus on my writing, and to let my story be told. It is with a combination of enthusiasm and feeling naked, that I share something this personal with all whom will find interest in my passion for true healing. My eagerness to Inspire through sharing cannot be held back. Once I started to write, there was no stopping the process. It was like opening a floodgate. I sat down, opened my Mac, and it all came flowing. The time was right.

As I kept writing, I realized that I was writing two books. There was too much information to fit into one single book. It would be too much to take in at one time, and it would simply be too compact, or an information overload. I was led to separate my story from a step by step practical knowledge book . This way, after reading from HELL to Inspired , you will be able to move on to a separate one, which will hold all the recipes, the tricks and the special personal tips for your own journey. Know the Truth and get Healthy is all about YOUR path, how YOU will get to where you want to be. Although a lot of what I have done to be living my dreams is between this books covers, the book Know the Truth and get Healthy , has the complete step by step plan all laid out for you.

The process of writing everything under such an intense flow and passion, has been such a great learning process. It could not be stopped, and thanks to some amazing helpers, it all came together beautifully.

Thank you Helge, my trusted honest and first line proof reader. Always eager to dive in to the new material.

Thank you Elena for showing up at the perfect time, and for your compassionate work with my text. You have been such a blessing.

This book will also be published in Norwegian, my native language. It might seem strange why I chose to write my first book in English, but I really felt it was important for my story to reach as many as possible. My passion has always been to Inspire, and now is no different. If this book will inspire you to go after your own healing and health, I feel blessed and humbled.

THANK YOU.

The gratitude that fills me is beyond words. It reaches out to all of you who are reading this book; my tribe, my family, my friends and my spirit guides.

During my darkest times, when living in this body seemed absolutely not doable, I still had the hope and the vision that this day would come. The day where I would be able to share my story, to serve, help and to guide others towards a healthy and amazing life.

I want to thank my children Therese and Thomas, who never lost faith in me, and who always cheered me on. They truly lost their old mum, and gained a brand new one. The love I have for them, and the honor it is for me to be their mother, most likely saved me more than once.

Thank you Helge, my dear husband, for walking beside me, for being my biggest fan, and my partner in crime. Thank you for growing with me. Thank you for challenging me, and for loving me. I love you forever.

The birth of my soul mate, muse, and my love, Mia, my granddaughter, has shown me the responsibility we all hold. We are called to step forth, to protect and to take responsibility. We have been called to let the little ones feel safe and loved. She was born while I was very sick and tired, and came into my life like a bright shining star. Mia, you are the light and the one who leads the way, and I will always continue to learn from you. Your spirit has shown me how connected we all are, and how much love is present. I love you and your little brother Emil beyond words, and I thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for giving me even more purpose.

My best friend May, who kept knocking on my door until it opened, never giving up on reaching out to me. You made me stronger, more determined and focused. Your amazing kindness and empathic nature kept me sane.

I want to thank every person that I never met, who was giving me support on the internet when my social network and world fell apart. YOU were my lifeline, my hope and my inspiration. This was before Facebook, and the forums were all we had. Thank you Dr. Kenneth Sutter, for spending all that time on online forums helping people like me. You saved my life.

There are too many people whose wisdom I have tapped into to mention them all. Dr. Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Louise Hay, Bruce Lipton, Arnold Ehret, Gregg Braden, Deepak Chopra, Doreen Virtue are just some of those who have contributed to my growth and personal evolvement. One person stands out, and has a very special place in my heart; Dr. Robert Morse, my dear friend, you still keep empowering me with your wisdom. Your knowledge and eagerness to share and help, is changing this world. I feel blessed to know you, dear soul.

I am humble to be able to share this story, and my intention is to let you all know that you can change your health and your life. Health is natural, and no matter how sick you are, how lost you feel, and how tired you feel, KNOW that there is hope.

My life has been filled with a whole new perspective, an inner peace, and a feeling of true freedom. For that, I thank God and the infinite guidance. I have been guided and supported from a high power of wisdom and truth, and will be grateful for that, until the day I am no longer here, in this body.

Writing this book has brought back memories that I had been putting aside. Painful stories, fear, hopelessness and despair. Revisiting this journey, this walk of life, has brought me even more healing, and for that I thank you God.

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you.

INTRODUCTION.

About 8 years ago, I decided I was done. I was done being sick, and I was done struggling. I was so filled up on medications, hospital visits, anxiety and pain, that I decided to just stop. I had been diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis several years before, and was heavily medicated - I was told that I was a severe case. The diagnosis of Lyme disease, ulcers, anxiety and more, was not helping my suffering soul and spirit.
