happy thanksgiving

Hi All,
Happy Thanksgiving! We all have something to be thankful for even if we don't realize it. At least we're alive and can make changes where needed in our lives to make it what we want. I've heard and read so many times of people not being able to manifest in their lives what they want, or they don't believe we do create our reality, individually as well as collectively. I also know why it sometimes doesn't work. When I try manifesting something, if I feel the least little doubt about what I'm doing, it doesn't work. That is how it is for me.
And yet some people who say it doesn't work, call me to ask me how to do something or to ask what they should do. Either they are just playing with me, or they at least believe it can be done, albeit by someone else.
I don't just snap my fingers and make things happen, but it often seems out that way. But then I have great belief in myself. I can always count on me to either fix it or screw it up, and in my defense, I do usually get it fixed. Thank the Universe for that!
I do have a few friends, and I have some who love me. I have people who accept me, and I have people who want to change me into carbon copies of themselves...it ain't gonna happen, so ya'll might as well leave me be and accept me as I am. What you want doesn't necessarily dictate who I am. In fact, it has very little to do with it. Bless your hearts, you try so hard to change me, and it just ain't happening...lol
I have to lmao (laugh my ass off) at your endeavors and the games you play...it's great fun at times, watching you all make asses of yourselves. Don't you think you've got better things to do? Fix your life and leave mine alone.
I have two great daughters, and eight grandkids. They may not like how I live or what I sometimes do, but they accept it as "that's my mom...", lol
I suppose I've written enough for now.
Peace...wish our men and women could come home, and not have to be fighting in another country.

lies, lies, and more lies...

Hi All,
When will these people ever learn? Lying to me, for whatever reason brings nothing good. You think to deceive me and then to get away with it. It isn't going to happen. And lest we forget, there's lying by omission. I guess some people think I'm just too stupid to know the difference. This is why I don't trust people. Or at least by very much, trust is after all in degrees. Once I'm lied to I don't trust at all. I'm willing to take a chance for the sake of being happy, but if I'd known I was lied to I would have stayed where I was. STUPID FREAKING PEOPLE!!!
I absolutely detest liars. Justice will prevail and nothing, absolutely nothing good will come of this. That is a promise you can bet on.

Hi All,
Below you will find a few gems of wisdom. I copied these off two posters I saw recently. They are things I believe in and I try to live my life this way. If more people followed these things, more would achieve their dreams. I've been bitched at before for following these same beliefs, but that's ok, I still follow them anyway. Why some people think these things are wrong is why we, as humans, are so screwed up. Live and learn. I will say this, liars will get what they have coming to them, and justice will prevail. Enough...enjoy.
To Achieve Your Dreams, Remember Your ABCs.
Avoid negative sources, people, things and habits.
Believe in yourself.
Consider things from every angle.
Don’t give up and don’t give in.
Enjoy life everyday, yesterday is gone
and tomorrow may never come.

seed them and enjoy their riches.
Give more than you planned to.
Hang on to your dreams.
Ignore those who try to discourage you.
Just do it.
Keep trying no matter how hard it seems,
It will get easier.
Love yourself first and most.
Make it happen.
Never lie, cheat or steal, always strike a fair deal.
Open your eyes and see things as they really are.
Practice makes perfect.
Quitters never win and winners never quit.
Read, study and learn about everything important in your life.
Stop procrastinating.
Take control of your own destiny.
Understand yourself in order to better understand others.
Visualize it.You are unique of all of God’s creations,
Nothing can replace you.
Zero in on your target and go for it!


Initiative
You’re in charge.
You and only you decide what you’re
going to do with your life.

You can aim high, shoot for the stars,
Or you can be satisfied with
Whatever comes your way.

You can get involved,
Try to make things come out the way
You want, or you can take
Whatever gets dished out to you.

This is your life.
Make the most of it.

I wish peace to all, except to thoose who have lied to me for their own selvish reasons. You know who you are. Justice will prevail, and nothing good will come of it.

too busy to share special moments? don't be

Hi All,
This is part of an email I received a few minutes ago. I wanted to share it. I hope you enjoy it too.
--------------------------------------------------------
“Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomesreachable, the unavailable become available, theunattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it outIt's all about timing.” - Stacey Charter
--------------------------------------------------------
Here's something I wrote one night recently -I feel like I've really let down my daughter...Her name is Madalina, my little princess. She's 6 years old and at that sweet age where she's constantly telling her mummy and daddy she loves us.Tonight I was babysitting alone and I love it, it's always a chance for me to act like a little kid again... play silly games and watch disney cartoons on the disney channel! Madalina was hypnotized by Mulan for about the 8th time in a month. I had one eye on the tv and one eye on the internet (as usual). Something caught my attention, it wasan article about a total eclipse of the moon happening tonight. Supposedly the moon glowed red! I told Madalina and obviously she wanted to stay up late to see it. There was no school tomorrow, and I could see she was excited so I agreed. It would be fun. She'd always had a fascination for the stars and the night sky... like her dad.Every quarter of an hour we'd run outside and see the moon slowly disappearing. She was getting excited. So was our dog Cass who didn't stop barking. I had a headache. It had just turned ten o'clock and I was needing some timeout after a busy day. I decided it was bed time for Madalina. She pulled a big frown, got ready for bed very slowly... and fell asleep within minutes. About half an hour later I remembered about the eclipse of the moon and went outside.The moon was glowing red. It looked surreal. And beautiful.And I felt guilty. Madalina had never doubted it would.
I thought about it for a second and then ran upstairs. I slowly tried to wake her. She half opened her eyes and look petrified. I told her the moon WAS red, but it was too late...
I had no chance of waking her completely without scaring her. She'd missed the red moon and I felt awful. A moment of magic a 6 year old may never forget. A moment of magic a 38 year old WOULD never forget...A moment lost forever? Maybe, but there's another eclipse of the moon next year and I learned some valuable reminders from Madalina - We need to be patient. We need to stay focused. We need to keep believing. Just like the red moon, the universe will deliver it's miracles. They're waiting to happen in all our lives. And the most important lesson I learned tonight -Life is about sharing magical moments. Sometimes we get so busy or stressed, we forget. -----------------

reincarnation...germany?, birth-ins/walk-ins, geophysical changes

Hi All,
I've noticed a pattern that has developed in my life over the last few years. For the longest time I didn't get along with anyone who was of German descent. I have no idea why this was so, but regardless of how well we got along, once I learned they were German, I didn't like them anymore. I thought perhaps this was because of Hitler, so I studied his life, looking into his psyche. Why was he so evil? Maybe he was just ashamed of being Jewish, and was trying to wipe out his true identity, by ridding himself, and thus the world, of Jewish people. But I finally came to the conclusion that sometimes people are the way they are just because they are, and there is no reason. At least none that was discernible to me. Then I started noticing that many of the people I met in the last couple of years are of German descent. I actually like them, love a couple of them in fact and one of them is my bestest best friend. He is German/Russian. The man I'm now with is of German descent. The last man I was in love with was German. OK, I ask myself, what gives here? Why did I dislike Germans so much and then make a complete turn around? Why did I dream of speaking in German and also in Russian? Was I born in Germany in a past life? Was I a sympathizer of the resistance? Was I ill-treated because of this? If this is so, it would certainly explain a few things, and it would mean that I have at last moved past that in this life.
And speaking of languages, I've always had trouble speaking English even tho I am in fact from an English speaking people. I didn't speak in English until I was almost three years old. My mom says I spoke in some language, but no one could understand what I was saying. A couple of nights ago, I was told that I spoke in Cherokee. I seemed to be having a conversation, based on the pauses I made between the phrases I spoke. I said "I'm here.", "I see the light.", "I'm tired, I need to rest." The first and last statements make sense, as I was tired, and still am, and I could've been saying 'I'm here' if I heard someone call me. The statement "I see the light" doesn't really make sense to me, unless I felt as if I were in a dark tunnel and was finally 'seeing the light at the end of the tunnel', so to speak.
While there are things bothering me, just things in general, I am rather content. For the moment at least. I work at making my life the way I want it to be, and I don't have a habit of letting people interfere anymore...they have a way of being taken out of my life when it seems as if they are interfering with my 'mission'. What is my mission? I've asked that before and not received an explicit answer, but rather hints. I've been told that when the geophysical changes happen, I will be 'put' where I'm supposed to be. So far, what I've needed, either in the way of helpful people or materials have been provided for me. The more I'm dedicated to learning what I need too, and learning about life creation...the easier it becomes to acquire what I need. When I arrived here, there was a laptop waiting for me. It's not just a piece of junk either, it's state of the art, even to being overclocked. As long as I do what they need me to, I'm taken care of. What would happen if I were rebellious? I don't even want to know, but then, I happen to like what I'm doing, so there is little chance of that anyway. "My people" are always there for me. I wish other people could have this kind of relationship with the Universe. I don't think I'm any better than anyone else, but I feel so loved by my people that sometimes it overwhelms me. I am very aware of the part they play in my life, they have always been here with me. I'm glad they are, it does make it easier for me. I know this sounds crazy, even to some of the people who know me personally. I don't care how it sounds, it feels right, it works for me and I intend on continuing with it. My relationship is on a very personal level with the Universe, and the Divine Will. The Great Spirit, the Creator God. We all come from the same source, and we are all pure energy. We are all connected, people, flora and fauna, Earth and Universe. These things work with us when we ask, those who are into magick know this. Some people know this instinctively, and some learn this later in life. When everything is in balance, it is the way it should be. But when it isn't, things must happen to restore the balance. Unfortunately, when it involves geophysical changes, it also means loss of life. Physical life for some, the spirit never dies, it just moves on. Imagine if you will, the ability to sit or even stand and converse with 'god', whichever one you worship and believe in. Do you honestly think 'god' cares so little for his creation that he doesn't have time to answer questions for us? Your parents do it all the time, even tho I'm sure there are times they wish you'd not ask so many questions...especially ones they have no answers for. God the Creator has the time. I am using the pronoun 'he', but god is neither and yet both. Make no mistake, there is a god, and there are gods, and they do have our best interests at heart. Why must we be ever so hard headed and not listen to them? Why must humans think they know everything and yet know nothing? You can't learn if you think you know it all. Why should they bother with you if you are unwilling to learn? Sit at the Masters' feet and listen, they are more than willing to teach us if we will but listen. A pitcher that is full cannot hold more, first it must be emptied. If you are a Christian, you know that in the Bible it says that we are 'children of the most high', and yet how many people, Christian and non-Christian alike actually believe it? They think it means something entirely different. If we are created by a God, then we are in fact children of God, which means that we have a God-spirit in us. We sure don't act like it.
I spoke earlier in this post of being tired. I am, I'm tired of a number of things. I suppose I'm also impatient. I want this to end. I want the balance to be returned to us, regardless of the fact that it will cost some their physical bodies. If this sounds cold, so be it. Since so few listen, it's almost a waste of time anyway. But a contract and compassion are binding. I feel for all of you, because of the way things are and also because of what is to come. It isn't your Christian Armageddon, but it sure may feel that way. You are so afraid of what is to come, and some are preparing a place to go to that you think is safe. It won't be. There will be safe havens to go to after it is over with, but there will be no free-loaders tolerated. All must do their part. When life has had enough of those who live as parasites, then balance will happen. The geophysical changes will happen. The consciousness of all will be raised, we will then know the truth. I have yet to have 'my people' tell me a thing that wasn't true. If they have told me something would happen, it happened. I embrace my decision to work with these beings, they are so much a part of my life, like my skin is part of my physical body. The physical body is a joy, but at the same time it is aggravating, because it is so limiting. Out of my physical body I can go where I need in the blink of an eye, but in my physical body, it takes me awhile to get there. I can feel things so much more intensely out of my body. I'm not from here originally, and I do remember some of my origins, so it does make it hard to live as a human. But it is also a blessing, because I understand humans, at least to a certain degree, since I have to live thru it in order to understand it, and I know what I'm working towards. There is no doubt in my mind about what I'm doing. I'm working to brings things into balance, between spirituality and being materialistic. There is nothing wrong with having things, it's when you let it be the only thing in life that is important to you that it becomes wrong. If everyone would change the way they think about things, it would be so much easier. You think 'god' is so far above you that he can't possibly be interested in what you have to say. Your father/creator is always interested in what you think and say. You also think that he doesn't care about you. He does, he loves you very much. You don't perceive it because you refuse to understand the truth about everything. He is as much a part of you as you are a part of him. How can you not love a part of yourself? I know, you think I'm referring only to the physical body. You look in the mirror, and see that you're looking old, or you're overweight. That is just part of you, it doesn't define who you are inside. If you were younger or weighed less, of course you'd feel and look better. But if who you are inside is only concerned with the outside, then you're a very shallow person anyway. Beauty that is inside shows on the outside regardless of what you look like. These are my truths, they are the way I perceive things...find your own truth. It is subjective, based on any number of things. And in the end, you shall see that all is truth, just different ways of looking at it. Your personal truth may tell you one thing, and someone else a different thing. I believe we are made in the image of god, and I think he doesn't like to be bored, this is why he made so many different viewpoints. Or perhaps we just learned a great many viewpoints. Either way, god gets to experience our truth, and in the end we get to experience his. After all, turnabout is fair play, is it not? This is so god can understand why we make the decisions we make, and we can understand why he makes the decisions he makes. Would you rather have a god who makes decisions based on only what he thinks? That wouldn't be very just. You must sometimes live it to understand it. I've been there and done that. It is just something I've had to do at times when I didn't understand something. We are meant to live in balance, we are meant to have fun and really live, in the present, since life happens while we plan. We weren't meant to live with so many hardships, but due to not listening, due to refusing to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions, we live as we do. The hard way. We are all responsible for the way our lives are. You can't think and not have it happen, the more you think about a thing, the faster it comes to you. So many people are negative, and seek to blame others, even god, when it's themselves who are to blame. So many have a self-defeating attitude and don't even realize it. And yet, they will always come up with an excuse for it, or say they don't. If they didn't, don't you think things would be better? For them and for everyone else. You reap what you sow. You sow by planting seeds, in this case the seeds are thoughts. You are what you think. If you think good, then you'll reap good. If you think bad, then you'll reap bad. We are the weavers of our own creation, our web if you will. We are like magnets, attracting to ourselves what we send out, like a boomerang, it comes back. We can change our lives by changing our thoughts, it may not be easy at first. Bad habits are hard to break, even thinking habits. But you can do it. I'm not saying it's easy, but I am saying it can be done.When you find yourself thinking a bad thought, cancel it out. Even so, it's your call, do what you like. I'm going to keep talking to my people, and I know they'll answer me, they always do. They watch over me like a mother watches over her newborn. We, they and I, chose this path that I'm on together. It has taken me a long time to remember this, but it is so. I thank them for being so patient with me. I am ready for what is about to befall us all. There are other people out there who are like me, and when we're needed, we'll be ready. We can do no less. It is why we are here, and it was why we were created. We chose to fallow this path because we knew that one day the earth must be restored to balance. You may not like us as we are, I know there are many who either do not like me or what I stand for, but they might appreciate the irony of it one day. Those who do survive, when they have to call upon us to help them to survive. There will be a full accounting. We watch, we wait, we prepare, and we're here. We are here to help you, so please, let us do our job and stop interfering. We mean no harm to anyone, we're sent here for you. To save your butts. We don't necessarily like being in a human body since it's so limiting, but we do have great compassion for humans. We all come from the same source, the same Creator God. So how does all this fit in with reincarnation? Some of us have been here a very long time, in different reincarnations. I wish all of you peace and love, health and happiness. Most of all I wish you love.

an update

Hello All,
I'm still here in Charleston and I'm doing well. I have the apartment almost up to spec...mine. I'm happy and doing exactly what I want. I'm beginning programming again, as well as getting ready to do some work on computers. I'm also getting ready to study plants and their respective properties. I'm also getting ready to learn the metaphysical and medicinal value of them. Also, getting ready to learn how to make candles and essential oils. That is quite a diverse schedule, but it will keep me busy.
And then there is Wolf and Sheppie. They make quite a pair. I enjoy their company. We do have some interesting intellectual conversations, about many things. Soon he'll be teaching me German and Russian. He's into programming as well so I can pick his brains on that subject as well. We have so many things in common, and we each have so much to learn from the other. He has truly went out of his way to make this home to me, as well as himself. Before it was merely a place to 'hang his hat', now it's becoming a real home. Once in awhile someone enters your life who really makes an impact on you, someone who touches you deeply, this is what's happening to Wolf and I. Personally I am glad, as is he.
That's all the updates for now, except that I'm working on updating my web pages.
peace and love,

back in WV

Hi All,
I'm back in Charleston, WV and damn it sure feels good to be home. I really missed the mountains and the water. I live right across the road from the river, and it's easy to get to the mountains since there all around me.
I usually have panic attacks in stressful situations, but my bus trip here was really good, it was all a I ask for and more. I have a new guy in my life, who has already asked me to marry him, I have a new home which I'm currently setting up to my liking, by integrating my style into his, but then we are a lot alike.
I have a very dear friend in Phoenix, AZ whom I shall miss, but with whom I shall keep in contact. He means the world to me, and I appreciate the time he has been a part of my life, and I am both blessed and deeply in his debt for his many kindnesses. He has taught me much, both as a person and as a magickal practitioner. If you ever have the gift of his friendship, you are blessed indeed.
My new friend, whom I will soon marry, is also much like me. He is also part native american, and grew up much as I did, walking the mountains alone whenever possible. All these years since my divorce, I refused to marry beneath me...meaning that I hadn't yet found someone worthy of me...this man is. I almost, as many of you know, got married in Avondale, but he was killed in a motorcycle accident. This is the second man who was worthy of me. So we shall see. Even so, I will not forget my friends, and will remain in contact with you if you wish, you have but to keep in touch with me. Many people in AZ have given good times, sometimes tears, sometimes laughter. But one of the things I've truly learned is life is for living, not planning. I intend to enjoy my life and live it to it's fullest each day. Gods, but I love you guys for everything...even when you pissed me off. lol I wish all you well, and this is also for the ones whom I met in NM, you know who you are.
Peace and love,
