At the time of her accident, Lois had to use a kind of instinct and a thought process that she knew she had but didn’t understand.  She started listening to herself, rather than what she should have, could have, would have done, or didn’t do or how to do it.  It is important to remember that.  She made a decision to listen to herself, not just for one day, but for everyday for all things at all times.  Lois went to every specialist in Boston, getting told that there was nothing wrong with her and that she was crazy.  She chose not to listen to that.  She knew that she would be in the right place at the right time and would find the right person to help her.  This knowledge went against everything she knew as a medical person.  Lois has a background in various branches of nursing, also having worked for the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard University as the director of a mental health program. 

While at one of the hospitals having x-rays done, she gave a “reading” to an x-ray technician in 1979.   Ten years later, while traveling on a plane to New Mexico, this same x-ray technician recognized her.   This x-ray technician confided in her that they knew back then that there was something wrong with Lois, but couldn’t help her.  They didn’t know what to do and lied to her.  Lois knew they were lying to her but couldn’t prove it.  By running into this person 10 years later, she found out the truth.  In 1981, she went to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.  The doctor she had seen at Brockton Hospital was so negative that Lois started to think she was crazy and became suicidal.  She couldn’t walk, was told that she had abnormal reflexes. Lois trusted herself, her gut, and her instincts. 

 “There are people out there who are suffering – burdened, people who need direction, people who need to learn how to take responsibility for what they do or what they don’t do.  People need to participate in their own recoveries.  They need to be a participant in life and not an observer.”, stated Lois.    That’s how Lois started doing her readings, that’s how she started doing her teaching.  That’s what she does on her television show.  She presents information from a more breathtaking point of view, most people see at eye level.  “We all have the ability to see things on a higher level.  Everything is a learning lesson.  If you can understand it that way, then there’s growth and development.  That’s why we go through these things – not to hurt us, not to punish us, but to learn.  People have fears and anxieties.  People do a lot of things to avoid the “work.”  Just because you do the work and you use your intuition, doesn’t mean that you have perfection.  It means that if you go the distance, you will get results.”  If Lois had left her journey, or if she had not taken her journey on, she would have died or would have been paralyzed like Christopher Reeves is today. 

 When Lois’ daughter was going to college, she had to compose an autobiography of herself.  In this she talked about how when she was in elementary school, her mother had an accident.  As she moved on in her life, there were lessons she learned.  When she got older, she couldn’t afford brand named jeans. She worked part-time during high school.  Her daughter learned time management in order to do her homework, get good grades, work and have a social life.  She also learned that when she went to college, she was far more prepared for responsibility.  Designer jeans weren’t important.  The thing that she learned from all of this was, “If it doesn’t work the first time, or it doesn’t work the way you want it to, you continue until it does work or you find a way to make it work.  How can you teach a child by just words?  That experience gave her the courage in herself and her life.  She has a master’s degree in education.  She’s a 6^th grade teacher in Easton, married with a baby – she’s an extraordinary spirit.”
