Critical Incidents Timeline - part A

This is what my 'Critical Incidents Timeline' looks like so far, In context 'critical' is defined as: "They are not 'critical' because they are mind-blowingly huge, they are critical because they have made you who you are today." things such as: events, people, circumstances. I could have classified them with my own key/colour code but I've opted for the easier use what was given which means: Positive - discovering something as a skill, gift, talent or just a genuinely enjoyable time of life Neutral - made this category myself as I need one for an inbetween, both good and bad Negative - complex life circumstances, difficult or painful incident Life Crisis - acute moments of difficulty Divine Contact - a key person at a crucial moment or stage of life, or an important person during a part of your journey.
