A Historic Document
During the 2020 Covid pandemic, Heather’s return flight across the world between the USA and New Zealand was in jeopardy. International borders were closing down indefinitely, all over the globe. Pandemic life became an alternative reality which turned into a death spiral for her after contracting the fatal first strain of Covid. Our lives are all unique and special. Take a glimpse into Heather’s during this unusual juncture in time.
A Story of Healing
When the odds are stacked against you, a tenacious spirit is required to prove naysayers wrong, and fight for your right to heal even when the world’s top doctors say there is no cure.
A Companion for those Diagnosed with Long Covid or Similar Illness
- Millions are suffering with Long Covid to varying degrees, all over the world.
- Many are children.
- Many have passed away.
- Many are still bedridden since the first wave of Covid, like Heather was, and could very well still be, if God hadn’t helped her through it.
- Some are now confined to wheelchairs, even though they were young and active before becoming ill.
- Many are simply too fatigued to enjoy normal life since having Covid.
- Many are now diagnosed with disabling autoimmune conditions that doctors say will be with them for the rest of their lives.
- Multitudes are even suffering from an adverse reaction to the vaccine, but their symptoms are the same. Heather overheard their heart wrenching stories throughout her many medical and lab appointments.
A Blueprint for Medical Professionals New to the Long Covid Condition
Many sufferers of Long Covid are often met with disbelief of the syndrome by medical professionals who are unaware of this condition.
Being one of the first people in the USA to be diagnosed with Long Covid, Heather often found herself sharing with doctors how she had found ways of healing, from a multitude of seemingly unrelated symptoms, including chronic fatigue syndrome, dysautonomia, POTs, and other neurological problems, when healing didn’t seem possible.
A Story of Hope
Proof of God’s Divine Hand
Unmistakable points in time where the coincidences are too perfect to be anything but God’s miraculous and loving interventions.
When have you ever seen a white heron posing on the roof of a vehicle?


Around 9am on November 3, 2020 a majestic white heron landed on the roof of Heather’s vehicle and stayed there long enough for her to call the family upstairs to her office to see it and take photos. At 4pm that same day Heather took the Covid test that changed her life for the next few years. She only realized the miraculous significance of this sign from the white heron when researching dates to write her book. It would take far more faith for anyone to believe this was purely a coincidence rather than God’s providential timing.
