MY STORY
My name is Shelley Zwingli. My life was transformed during a 44-hour period in 2013 when my soul teetered between the physical and heavenly realms. During that near death experience (NDE) I made a promise to God. I promised that if I was allowed to stay here in this earthly realm I would share my experience and the knowledge I gained with as many people as possible.

I want to give people hope that there is an afterlife. This afterlife is beyond anything we can imagine. The love and beauty that awaits us is impossible to describe using human language, but through words and original paintings, I am going to attempt to do so in my upcoming book series,  Volcanoes, Butterflies & Jesus: The extraordinary visions of an ordinary woman.

My wish for readers is for you to come to believe whole-heartedly in the divine realm that exists much closer than we could ever envision. I was conscious during the entire 44 hours, and the only medication I was on was an antibiotic; my mind was clear. I’m just an average person who’s had an exceptional life-changing occurrence.

The old Shelley is gone and the new me knows that I’ve been entrusted with this amazing story.
 

WHAT IS VOLCANOES, BUTTERFLIES & JESUS?

I am producing the work as a three-part non-fiction book series. The first two books are complete. 

The first book, Volcanoes, tells my entire story of my near death experience, the waking visions that followed and the impact it had on me and my family.  In the second book, Butterflies, I share stories of hope and inspiration from others people who have had life altering experiences due to illness, loss of a loved one, organ donating, depression just to name a few. 

I will also provide some  tips and ideas for people to help them rebuild their belief, trust and connection with the spirit world and whoever they believe is their higher power in this life, and ways to be open to, and benefit from,  divine signs in everyday life. This will be the subject of the third book in the series, Jesus. 

In addition to my story, the books will include three of my original paintings that will attempt to explore visually what I saw in my waking visions. These images will be the focal point the three book covers.
