Bryan Hood

I was born in to a middle class family in 1964 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. I think my early years were quite normal. What I remember the easiest are the forests we visited on our annual summer camping trips. I looked forward to this time away from school. Mom and Dad would be parked outside of the school, with the camper fully packed. The last school bell rang announcing I was free for another two months. I would run out of school and into the truck. A quick check to ensure that I did not leave anything in school and we were off for the mountains. The mountains were like a breath of fresh air for me.

Throughout school my grades were a constant average to below par. The main reason was because I am a phonetic speller. At times, only I could decipher my writing. Even now as an adult this is still a challenge. I finished all the required grade schools and even completed high school. I mention this part of my early years to show the capacity to succeed that we all have. If you have a challenge that may limit you, just try to keep on trying. You may not come in first but you will succeed in the end.

As a young adult while sitting in my apartment a thought stirred an old memory. The question this memory stimulated led me on an unforgettable journey. A lot of the experiences that I experienced and their explanations became the book, "A Moment with Eternity". Click here to read sample excerpts. You can get your own copy of the book for your private library from the "A_Moment_With_Eternity" web site.

After the original experiences (sometimes years) I found people and places that helped me to understand more of what happened. The following list are some of the people and places that have crossed my path.
