"Experimental" South Dakota hunt to proceed despite opposition

Dear Friends, Family and Supporters of The Cougar Fund-

Yesterday, South Dakota Circuit Judge Max Gors ruled against the suit filed by the
California-based Mountain Lion Foundation to stop the cougar hunt slated to
begin Saturday, October 1.

Prior to the decision of the S.D. Game, Fish and Parks Commission to begin a hunt on this small and isolated population in July, The Cougar Fund collaborated with the grassroots Black Hills Mountain Lion Foundation, started by veterinarian Sharon Seneczko.

Working on the ground to back Dr. Sharon's efforts, The Cougar Fund presented a three-part
series on cougars at the Rapid City Civic Center to inform and educate the general public about the realities of coexisting with Puma concolor and ran a follow-up full-page ad (funded by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation) in the Rapid City Journal to inspire further citizen action.

In spite of strong local opposition, none of these efforts have stayed the South Dakota hunt. Just three years ago, the cougar in South Dakota was list as a state threatened species.

The very nature of cougar lends to both its allure and its misconception in the eyes of many. Secretive, elusive, living in low densities and roaming home ranges on average of 100 square miles, actual population numbers are difficult to monitor. The consequences of hunting such a small population in the Black Hills remains unknown, as well as the impacts to the genetic make-up of the population as a whole.

We at The Cougar Fund believe this lays but one more stone in the path of the mounting challenges this species faces in light of habitat fragmentation, increased human impact on their
territory, and scientifically unjustified hunting quotas across many states in the West, especially the killing of females who are either pregnant or raising dependent cubs for 75% of their lives.

The cougars in South Dakota are certainly no exception.

With gracious thanks for your ongoing support,

Judge lets cougar hunt stand

First-ever season to begin Saturday

JARETT C. BIES

September 30, 2005


On Saturday, the mountain lions of the Black Hills will need their eagle-sharp eyesight, all their cagey, elusive instincts, and their ability to remain invisible as South Dakota's first-ever mountain lion hunting season gets under way.

A judge's ruling late Thursday, after an all-day ourt hearing, clears the way for hunting to begin Saturday as scheduled.

Circuit Judge Max Gors said the Mountain Lion Foundation and other opponents who had sued to stop the season failed to show that hunting will cause irreparable harm to the Black Hills lion population.

The opponents argued that there was insufficient data to justify a lion season - warning that
hunting could result in extinction of the big cats in South Dakota.

As the largest - and often most misunderstood - predator in the state, the Black
Hills mountain lion will now go from stalker to stalked.

The season, which was approved earlier this year, has created more controversy than
excitement in the state. Wednesday, the Mountain Lion Foundation, a national conservation agency, filed its lawsuit to stop the season before it began.

"The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department commission does not have enough information to justify a hunt," said Lynn Sadler, executive director of the Mountain Lion Foundation.

But George Vandel, assistant wildlife director for the department, said: "The last thing that's going to happen under my watch ... is to do things that cause mountain lions to leave the
state.

"If it appears like we're harming the mountain lion population, we'll make adjustments," Vandel said.

'Domesticated' cats

Around the state, opinions vary on the need for a hunt of these big meat-eating
creatures.

In the Black Hills, many see the need for a season on mountain lions - also called pumas or cougars - as a necessity because more of the big cats are wandering into towns and cities. A mountain lion was shot and killed Sept. 21 in Rapid City. Reports of sightings have become more common, and for many, this shows the cat population has reached capacity.

For ranchers, pet owners and others who keep livestock both in the Black Hills and in western
South Dakota, the threat is real. Reports of mountain lions spooking cattle and horses are common.

"I'm all for hunting them," said Jacob Sharp of rural Interior. Sharp said the predators prey on colts and horses. "We have one that hangs out close by, probably behind the cabin on our property. You can tell when they're around - the deer disappear and the horses come up to the
corral."

Deer are the primary prey of mountain lions. The animals use their sharp hunting skills to ambush mule and white-tail deer.

While Sharp, who operates the Badlands Ranch and Resort, has noticed "signs" of the mountain lion, he said actually spotting one is rare. "The ones out here on the prairie are wild, but it seems like the ones in the Hills are becoming 'domesticated' and coming into town more," he said. "There's getting to be too many."

Sharp said friends and neighbors have reported seeing more mountain lions. He's heard reports from Pine Ridge, Kyle and Wanblee from folks who have spotted them.

Jerry Vander Esch, an employee at Gary's Gun Shop in Sioux Falls, said there's not much buzz about this new season. He said since most hunters already have firearms for deer or other big game, there's no real need to purchase another rifle for mountain lions.

State added to list

South Dakota joins a group of western states that already permit mountain lion hunting. Other than California, it's a legal season in most of the western United States. Unlike most of the other states that allow this sort of hunting, South Dakota hunters will be hamstrung: no dogs can be used to hunt mountain lions in the state.

Vandel said so far, 1,589 residents have obtained licenses for cougar hunting. Of those, 1,467 are for hunting only in the Black Hills; 122 of them went to landowners in other parts of the
state.

The season, which continues through Dec. 15, will close once 25 mountain lions are harvested or when five breeding-age females are taken. The open season is for the Black Hills only, though landowners throughout the state can take one mountain lion on their property during the season. The cost for a permit is $15 for residents hunting in the Black Hills and $10 for
landowners.

Vander Esch said he purchased a mountain lion permit because he's planning to hunt elk in the Black Hills. He will take a mountain lion if he comes across one while hunting elk.

Tastes like pork

Across the western border of South Dakota, Wyoming's mountain lion hunting season is under
way, and Wyoming Game and Fish Department information officer Jeff Obrecht said hunters such as Vander Esch will need a lot of luck.

"It's extremely rare that someone hunting deer or something else will take a lion," Obrecht said. "It's like a needle in a haystack."

Most Wyoming mountain lion hunters take their quarry after snow falls in early winter, Obrecht said. "Most are taken for rugs or mounts, but they are good eating, with a white, porklike
meat," he said. "The thrill of the hunt is in the chase, but the kill is often anti-climactic."

When using hounds, hunters will search for a mountain lion trail and then release their dogs. The pack will chase the animal until it is trapped, usually in a tree or rocky area without exit. Many hunters opt to harvest the big cats with large-caliber handguns at close range.

Obrecht said last year, 181 mountain lions were harvested in Wyoming. Overall, it's a
small portion of big-game hunting in Wyoming: More than 21,000 elk and almost 37,000 mule deer were harvested there in 2004.

"Large carnivores create lots of passion on both sides of the fence," Obrecht said. "But I'd be
surprised, with the limits described, that hunters will have much impact on the population in South Dakota."

Sadler fears the hunt, even with its imposed limits, could wipe out the entire South Dakota population. "Some people feel if they see them more often, there must be more lions," she said. "But it's equally likely, if not more likely, that the population is stressed. They make their
lives staying out of sight."

Help Save The Endangered Species Act

Yesterday the House of Representatives passed a bill that would deal a major blow to protections for America’s plants, animals, places and people. However, the vote was close and we are confident that -- with your help -- we can stop this bill in the Senate.
Shortly before 5:30 PM Eastern yesterday, the House voted 229-193 to pass Representative Richard Pombo’s re-write of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This "Wildlife Extinction" bill would dramatically undermine our national commitment to the recovery of endangered plants and animals.

Click here to find out how your Representative voted.

The bill passed only after the House narrowly rejected, by a vote of 216-206, a substitute amendment offered by Representatives George Miller of California and Sherwood Boehlert of New York that would have improved endangered species conservation.

Together, we have fought very hard over the last few weeks for our country’s vanishing wildlife. And I want you to know that we appreciate your efforts -- the vote may not have been so close without your help.

We’re not about to stop fighting now. We have strong allies in the Senate, and we're working with them to ensure victory.

Let me tell you some of what Defenders of Wildlife has planned. In the weeks ahead, we’ll…
Hold Representatives accountable for their votes.Our elected officials should stand up for the natural legacy we leave to our children, not roll over for greedy developers. In the next few weeks, we’ll place print and radio ads to let people know how their Representative voted on the Pombo bill.

Mobilize grassroots activists for the Senate fight.At county fairs and local gatherings across the country, our grassroots organizers are doubling their efforts to save the Endangered Species Act.

Build support for wildlife protection on Capitol Hill. For more than 30 years, the Endangered Species Act has protected magnificent creatures like the bald eagle, the gray wolf, and the California condor from extinction. We’ll work with Senators of all political stripes to protect and strengthen the law’s record of success.

In the coming weeks, we’ll let you know about other ways you can help us beat back the assault on the Endangered Species Act. In the meantime, please consider making a special donation to support our Campaign to Save the Endangered Species Act.

I want you to know how much Defenders of Wildlife appreciates your support in this important fight. Together, we’ve sent more than 160,000 faxes to the House of Representatives. In the last two days alone, wildlife supporters like you made thousands of calls to Congressional offices. And, with your help, we mobilized activists across the country and placed targeted print and radio ads highlighting the importance of the Endangered Species Act. Your support will be even more critical to a Senate victory for the wildlife we all care about.

Make no mistake. There is a lot at stake, and we must stop the Pombo bill in the Senate. Please consider giving now to support our efforts.

Not only does the bill gut the Endangered Species Act, it also creates a government give-away program to greedy developers and provides new loopholes to make it easier to use deadly pesticides. The pesticides can harm not only wildlife, but also our children, by polluting our lands and waters.

Our children must not pay the price for Mr. Pombo’s reckless disregard for our nation’s wildlife. We’re going to keep fighting, and I hope you will too. Together, we can win.

Sincerely,
Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife

Special Alert: Don't let Congress gut environmental laws in the name of hurricane relief

NRDC's EARTH ACTION:
The Bulletin for Environmental Activists

========================================
Special alert:

Don't let Congress gut environmental laws in the name of hurricane relief

Take action now at http://www.nrdcaction.org/action/index.asp?step=2
======================================================
Hurricane Katrina victimized an entire region, leaving many Gulf Coast communities completely destroyed. Although rebuilding will take enormous effort and goodwill, opportunistic politicians and corporate cronies are using this national tragedy to try to weaken or waive public health and environmental laws, as well as worker protection and civil rights requirements. Under the guise of hurricane relief, both the Bush administration and several members of Congress have drafted legislative proposals that would actually further endanger residents of this embattled area. A number of these proposals would apply across the country, far beyond the areas affected by the hurricane, and some would apply indefinitely, even after the cleanup or reconstruction is complete.

The proposed waivers and exemptions are unnecessary and dangerous. Health and environmental laws have not impeded hurricane response activities, and already contain specific provisions that allow for flexibility in responding to emergency situations. Waiving or weakening these laws would only serve to victimize again those who have been hit hardest by Katrina: lifting legal protections would allow reconstruction projects to pollute Gulf residents' air and drinking water, authorize spraying of unsafe or banned pesticides and permit hazardous waste to be dumped in nearby landfills or even in affected communities themselves.

Thankfully, some legislators are taking a stand against using the Katrina tragedy to gut our nation's environmental laws. Senator Jeffords (I-VT) and Senator Boxer (D-CA) are asking their colleagues to sign a written commitment to not weaken these legal protections. And several lawmakers in both the House and Senate have introduced a resolution focused on the need to protect -- not weaken -- public health, environment and environmental justice laws and regulations in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

== What to do ==
Send a message urging your senators and representative to commit to keep environmental waivers or exemptions out of hurricane relief and reconstruction bills.

== Contact information ==
You can send a message to your senators and representative directly from NRDC's Earth Action Center athttp://www.nrdcaction.org/action/index.asp?step=2

Phone calls are also very important right now, so if you have a moment on Monday to
call your representative and/or senators, the Capitol switchboard number is 202-224-3121.

When you call, tell the person you speak with that you are calling to urge your senators/representative to immediately co-sponsor the "Public Health and Environmental Equity Act" (H.Res. 477/S. Res. 261).

Please also urge your senators' offices to sign the Jeffords-Boxer "Dear Colleague" letter opposing public health and environmental waivers.

Please also forward this message to your friends and co-workers, and urge them to contact their senators and representative as well.

Thank you!

Archangel Raphael, Cancer and Destiny!

Today I sat with my healing wand and Hedenbergite included Russian Beta Quartz (which help us step beyond our present perception and experience of self and into the infinity that we are.) surrounded by 3 crystals. As soon as I grasped the wand and quartz in my left hand I felt a zapping that went through my body and exited through my right hand and into the wand again. The current lasted the entire session. I noticed that in the last several weeks of session that when I grasp the wand at both ends I'm zapped. I wonder what brought this on? Possibly the expansion of my healing gifts?

I step into an assortment of clouds. I know that their clouds, and I can feel the slight mist on my face, but I also am not scared of falling through. I turn and there is Archangel Raphael. He smiles and asks how I'm doing. Tired, I reply. Out of no where he produces my healing wand in his hands. He wants me to hold it, vertical, with both hands. He surrounds me with a warm, soft light and myself + the wand glow. I can feel the wand getting hot and my hands absorbing the heat. He places his hands on my forehead and chants the same phrase, in Latin, nine times. When he is finished the light disappears and so does the wand. I asked where did the wand go - he says that I no longer need it.

We are walking through the clouds talking - he is asking me how the flower essence are going. I tell him I'm working on it. He asks me if I made mine yet (knowing full well that I didn't) and I of course said - no. He tells me to move faster. I ask him about my writing. He says - what about it? How am I to get all this done - I ask? He replies that I need to just do it. Quit worrying how and just do. I ask about the energy healing - I don't remember exactly what he says there, but it launchs into a conversation:

M = Me
R = Raphael

M = Tell me I'm wrong.
R = I cannot.
M = Does he know?
R= On some level he does. This is why he seeks you out.
M= I thought he did that because he loves me.
R = He does. But his soul knows that you need to heal him.

Silence for a spell.

M = Does he know?
R = Yes and no. He suspects he has it but is denying it exists.
M = Right side, down at the bottom of the lungs in the back?
R = Yes.
M = How big is it?
R = What do you see?

We stop walking. I turn and look at him.

M = I see a small black mist, about the size of a pin head.
R = Then that's how big it is.

Silence.

M = Why is it that I can save him and not my cousin.
R = His time has come.
M = But my Uncle Wally begs me to save his son. What do I tell him?

Just then Uncle Wally arrives (he has been deceased for 20 years) - he looks good. I'm happy to see him and we hug. Wally and Raphael are discussing my cousin and how he choose this life of suffering and limitation so that he could grow. He is needed in the heavens. Archangel Raphael calms my uncle down enough that he understands. Uncle Wally says that he will be there to help guide his son over when the time comes. He gives me a kiss and disappears into the clouds.

We then discuss my healing gifts, for me to stop putting off destiny as it will arrive at my doorstep no matter what. It's better to be prepared. I comment about Bill and Ted and their gifts. He says that they too have the same gifts, but they will be more of my lieutenants - people will come and see me. He then shows me in the massive arena, with lines of people coming to me for healing. I tell him that I do not want that. He comes back to say that I am here on earth to help people, to be a leader. I again say I don't want it. All he says is -- destiny.

So I ask about Bill and destiny. He replies that Bill is fighting it just like I am. He likes the way his life is (as do I) and doesn't want to see it radically change. He has put a wall around him to shut out all energy from reaching him. But he's very lonely and yes - needs my help. I ask if there is a wall how can I get through - he just smiles.

We emerge from the clouds and are in Ted's bedroom. He is asleep on his right side. I sit on the bed next to him and place my hands above his lower back, on the right side. I look at Raphael and he nods. I send white, green and red light spiraling into Ted's back, into his lungs and right to the tumor. He is mumbling in his sleep. I worry that I'm hurting him and go to take my hands away - Raphael tells me not to stop - so I continue. I can sense the tumor getting smaller.

I'm standing next to the bed and Ted awakens. He rolls over on his left side just as Raphael and I disappear - I can hear him call out my name.

Next thing I know - I'm on an airplane looking down at Bill. His head is against the window and he is staring outside. He closes his eyes and I can barely see a tear out of his right eye. I hear him say - I miss you Allie. I sit next to him (empty seat) and place my hands out and send him the full spectrum of colors. As I do this I can see this black goop leaving from the top of his head. When the goop stops I know it is time to go. I step back into the aisle. Just as we're leaving I hear him say - don't go.

Raphael and I are back in the clouds. I tell him that I don't want to consternate on those two. I want to ignore them. He says - how can you ignore destiny? With that he kisses me on the forehead and I wake up.

I wonder how I can want something and not want something at the same time? I really want my healing gifts to come to their full level - I REALLY want to help people. But I do not want the attention and the hoopla that will surround it. I've always been a background person - the one behind the power - and I've liked it. I need to quit being such a chicken - as Raphael said - I can't ignore destiny, can I?

In fact, a good friend of mine and I were just talking about destiny yesterday. He is - or was - my 1st husbands best friend. We've now known each other for 22 years and are better friends now than we ever used to be. We were commenting on no matter what life has thrown at us, we always seem to come together - our friendship. That we're destined to be friends. We've ignored our friendship, denied it, tried to hate it and yet....here we are. You simply cannot stop what is meant to be. This is something that I have to really grasp and put into practice.

Until later...

Crystal Sunshine!

Urge Congress to pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act.

Senate Pulls the Reigns on Horse Slaughter

Horses hold a special place in America. They are living icons of this country's spirit and determination: from the legendary midnight ride of Paul Revere, to the wild mustangs of the plains, to our trusty companions who are a daily touchstone to the past. Recalling the horse's unique role, Senators John Ensign (R-NV) and Robert Byrd (D-WV) recently appealed to their fellow Senators to support an amendment to the 2006 Agriculture Appropriations bill to end the slaughter of "one of the most precious American symbols.

"The Ensign-Byrd amendment passed by a stunning vote of 69-28 on September 20. It is identical to a measure that passed the U.S. House of Representatives in June, also by a wide margin (269-158). Together, these measures will effectively end horse slaughter for food exports for one year by cutting federal funding for border inspections and for meat inspections at three U.S. slaughter houses that process horses. Last year, 65,000 horses were slaughtered for human consumption in the United States, and more than 30,000 were shipped across our borders to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.

Because the House and Senate amendments were identical and had such strong support—including from both chairmen and ranking members of the Senate Agriculture Committee and Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee—the horse slaughter ban should be approved in the final version of the bill.

What You Can Do:

» Urge Congress to pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act.

» Read more about the Senate vote. However, the ban on funds for horse slaughter is only good for the 2006 fiscal year. In order to enact a permanent ban, Congress needs to pass the American Horse Protection Act (H.R. 503).Our horses deserve better than to suffer the horrors of the slaughter house. It's thanks to animal advocates like you that we've come so far to ending this cruelty. Please help get this legislation across the finish line.

Ask your U.S. Representative to support H.R. 503 and urge your U.S. Senators to support a companion bill in the Senate, which Senator Ensign and Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) are expected to introduce soon. Click here to take action.

Disaster Alert: Save pets from the next hurricane

Over the past three days alone, our Disaster Animal Response Teams in Louisiana have rescued more than 700 animals -- bringing the total number of animals we've helped save across the region to more than 7,000. While our work in the areas hit by Katrina and Rita will continue for months, perhaps years, our disaster teams' efforts have been truly remarkable -- thanks to your support.

But even as you read this, we know that pets -- animals who, for some reason, haven't yet made any rescue lists -- remain trapped in their homes or out on the streets. Many remain stranded or homeless for one tragic reason:

Their caregivers, when forced to evacuate, were not allowed to take their pets with them. Government officials and human relief agencies did not have an emergency plan in place to accommodate people and their pets.

With your help, we can change this for future disasters: Take action NOW and ask your U.S. Representative to support the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act (PETS Act) to ensure relief agencies plan for pets and that a tragedy of this magnitude never happens again.

Last Thursday, Congressmen Tom Lantos (D-CA), Christopher Shays (R-CT), Barney Frank (D-MA), Don Young (R-AK), and James Oberstar (D-MN) introduced the PETS Act to ensure that in future disasters, people will not be forced to leave behind their household pets and service animals such as seeing-eye dogs, as they were in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

The PETS Act requires local and state emergency preparedness authorities to include pets and service animals in their disaster evacuation plans. Local and state authorities must submit these plans to qualify for grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. With your help, we have a chance to pass this bill and save pets during future disasters:

1. Take Action and urge your U.S. Representative to co-sponsor H.R. 3858, the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act, and do everything possible to get it passed SOON. It will only take a minute using our easy online tools.

2. Spread the Word. Urge your friends and family to contact their Representatives about this bill. We cannot win unless we have a large, loud majority urging our legislators to protect pets during future disasters. Click here to spread the word.

When a disaster strikes in the future, The Humane Society of the United States wants to work hand-in-hand with government responders. Animal rescue is an enormous task, and we can't do it alone.

As The HSUS and other animal groups continue to search for, rescue, and shelter animals in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, it's heartening to know that you're standing with us. Please contact your Representative today and urge him/her to co-sponsor and unequivocally support the PETS Act so it can be adopted before Congress adjourns for the year. This law will save the lives of both pets and the people who love them.

Thank you for your swift action and for all you do on behalf of animals.

Sincerely,Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States

Charka's, Ted and a Revealing Conversation!

Today's session was really out of the norm for me. I grabbed my wand to go sit with it and I heard a voice say no. I asked - no wand? Yes. Okay - I put it back. I go to sit again on my pillow and I hear - no. I'm thinking no pillows? No crystals. Okay - this is odd - so I put back the 3 crystals. I try again to sit on the pillows and I hear - no. Now what? I hear - no meditation. What is this guide talking about - no meditation? Why the heck not? Then it hit me (in a manner of speaking).

I jumped into a vision without any need to meditate. It was more of a trance. This is what happened.

Archangel Raphael was waiting for me in the clouds. He asks me if I'm ready? I say yes. I can sense what feels like a force field (for lack of a better phrase) surrounding me with white light. I take his hand and we emerge into an area of a city that I would not want to walk in the daylight with a machine gun in my hand. So much negative energy and fear in this place. It smells musty -- dirty. We enter into what I assumed was an abandoned apartment building.

Not abandoned I come to find out - but it should be condemned and knocked down. We enter into an apartment and there is an older woman - say around 60 - lying back in a recliner. No one has come to check on her in days - she is sitting in her own filth. I don't have to ask why we're there - I know she needs my healing help so that she can take care of herself. She has a strong will and mind - it's her body that gave out on her.

From earlier today - I had a realization that I am to combine a color or colors with the white light to heal someone (not just green which is what I previous assumed from yesterday). It all depends on the condition and what chakra needs cleared. Since it's her lower half that needs the help - her legs - I concentrate on her Sacral Charka and emit white and orange light into her. Her eyes open with a start.

Off to my right I see Ted approach. I look at him and ask - what are you doing here? He smiles. I look back and Archangel Raphael is backing away with a smile on his face. He disappears into a wall and is gone. Ted grabs my hand and pulls me through another wall. We emerge into an outdoor cafe. Not entirely sure where we are at.

I ask him what is he doing? He smiles. Below is our conversation. M = me and H = him. I'll be dammed on why this is so clear to me:

M = How did you get here?
H = I followed you to the apartment. Nice job, by the way.
M = How did you get through the block I put up?
H = Everyone has a weakness.
M = Then why isn't Bill here?
H = My desire is greater.

I sit down at an empty table. He joins me. No one seems to notice that we're there.

H = We talked about you last night.
M = Why?
H = Because he frustrated about last Wednesday. He knew you were there - but he couldn't feel you - or anything else.
M = Probably because of all the negative energy.
H = He's pretty upset now. He puts on a good front. But he's drowning.
M = Are you helping him?
H = He's blocked everyone out. Like you did.

I place my head in my hands. I can feel the tears just flow down my face.

H = I watched you this morning.
M = Doing what?
H = The cards -- the tree ones.

I look up and wipe my eyes. No more tears.

M = So?
H = Did you get what you're looking for?
M = I don't know.

He places his hand over mine.

H = No matter how much you fight it, you can't change it.
M = Change what?
H = You and me.

I push up from the table and storm off. He catches up to me and grabs my arm.

H = I see the way you look at me -- at my pictures. I hear your voice when you talk about me. It's obvious to everyone but you.

I just stare at him. I know he's right. I took in a quick inventory over the last 13 years and everything about me - my voice, my eyes, my energy all change (for the better - like it does when one is interested in another). It changes for Bill too - but it lacks the vibrant energy that comes when I am seeing/talking about Ted. I have always chalked it up to Bill having an earthy energy while Ted is fierily. It could be that there was more than meets the eye on that one.

M = How's your girlfriend?
He laughs.
H = How's your husband?
I smile.
M = Things are changing.
H = Yes they are.

In the background I can hear that my son is home from preschool.

M = I have to go.
H = I'll be waiting.

And with that I come out of it. When I did, the hair was standing up on my arms and I was shaking - like I got a huge jolt of energy and my body couldn't absorb it all.

Until Later...

Crystal Sunshine!

Atlantis + Amazing Healing = One Powerful Session!

Cindy and I decided to add an extra meditation session this week and wow - what a session! I sat with my healing wand and my beautiful piece of Ohio Celestite (helps one to connect to their Higher Self and live in the here and now) and three crystals. Man - I'm trembling - still. Usually only happens when something powerful hits me.

I asked to be taken to my son since he is sick (I forced myself to make a doctor's appointment at the insistence of hubby) as I've been giving him energy treatments since yesterday. I saw him in school and sent white light into him. I could see him smile and tell someone that his mommy just gave him energy. Then he says - just like my angels and guides. Smart boy I have there :)

I then ask to be shown what makes me stand out - what is so special about my healing path that I've been pushed to travel in this direction? I'm in the clouds and Archangel Raphael shows up. He's heavenly (of course) but he's also very --- well--- beautiful. I've never really looked at him before - although I sense him every morning as I walk. He had a golden hue to him. Looked very regal, yet down to earth. Hard to describe. I asked if he was there to help me? He replies - yes- if it is healing I want to know about- he is the one.

So I ask him - what is it about me? He takes my hand and we emerge into a yard. Nice green grass, a wooden swing set with a tower and slide. Very upper middle-class, suburb living. I see a black and white dog lying on his side - his fur reminds me of a bunch of smalls curls. Anyways - I ask what is wrong with him? The dog senses me and lifts his head - he whines. I lightly rub down the side of his body and I could sense something with my hands. I look over at Raphael and he nods his head. I close my eyes and place my hands on the dog. I'm asking for all the white light I can muster for this little pooch. When I'm done I remove my hands from his body. A woman calls his name - Scruff - and he gets up and races off to her. She stands there with her mouth open. Raphael mentions that he hasn't had any pep in months - they were on their way to the vets to put him down. Now he will stay on the earthly plane longer.

I'm thinking to myself - I have this gift for animals? What about people?

Raphael takes my hand and we are in a lower income apartment. A girl - probably around 5 with dark hair and eyes, and a light blue dress lies on a tattered couch watching a fuzzy TV. I ask what's wrong? Raphael mentions that her white blood cells are eating away at her red cells. I mention Leukemia? He nods. Is she getting help? No he says - they've gone as far as they can. The gov't won't pay for anything else - budget cuts. She's just waiting to die. I glance over at the mother and she has tears just flowing, she looks so tired. She's looking around to try to feed her girl something and the cupboards are bare. I place my hand on her shoulder and she pulls herself together.

I go back to the girl and put my hands on her. Then and there - I don't know why it hit me - but I need to infuse white AND green light into the person/animal - not just white. I instinctive know that Raphael sent green light (to mingle with my white) into the dog. So I focus and send both lights into the girl. The little girl tells her mom that she has two angels right with her. I smile and continue to send light. The hair stood up on my body as I did this - the combo of lights was very-very powerful. Color returned to her face and she smiled. She got off the couch and went and hugged her mom. Needless to say - mom was so shocked that she didn't know what to do. The girl kept saying the angels are here. And mom is just saying thank you - over and over again. The spoke in Spanish and I understood them - and I don't know any Spanish except what I picked up on Sesame Street as a kid (I can count to ten)!

Raphael says all I have to do is focus and relax to allow the energy to pass through me.

Boy - this session is bring tears to my eyes as I type it.

I ask to be taken back to my son. We go - and I send both white and green light into him. He smiles - a big smile. And says ....ahhhhhhhhhhh.

Next thing I know we are in that castle/house and I'm in my office. He is showing me a dosage bottle. He says that I have to make these. That the combination is what I used to do in Atlantis. I asked where should I start? He smiles and says - one for self-confidence - and then give it to myself. He kisses me on the forehead and tells me to go back and get to work.

I wake up.

Pretty cool - huh? At least I now know what sets me apart. I am capable of instant healing and I'm to do the dosage bottles like Atlantis. I need another 12 hours in my day!

To work I go!

Until tomorrow....

Energy Healing, Sylvia Browne and Ted!

I decided to sit today with my healing wand and asked my stones - who wants to join me? A piece of Ulexite cried out and I thought it was very timely as this spirit helps clarity and clearness of spirit as well as help to guide one to a resolution to a problem and assist in the interpretation of visions. Quite a handy spirit - wouldn't you say?

I'm surrounded by a brilliant white light. I enter into what feels like a cloud. The air is misty, watery, but feels cleansing at the same time. I look at there is Brigit. I'm very happy to see her. She says that she was sent from the heavens to assist and that she had a conversation with Cindy? That it was important for her and not Cindy to guide me today - although Cindy knew exactly where Brigit was to take me.

Brigit smiles at me - I can feel tears well in my eyes. She says how sorry she was for last week. I tell her it's okay - I'm okay - with all of it now. She goes on to tell me that I was there for him - I tell her that I realized that, but that it was still very difficult to be able to reach out and touch him and refrain from doing so.

Off from my right, here comes Ted. A big grin on his face. His kisses me. We have a heated conversation about Bill and him. He keeps going on that I'm after the wrong man. This is why I keep running into the roadblocks. That Cindy and I are too close to the situation and this is why we keep confusing his energy for Bill's. That he will take good care of me - spoil me. I tell him (in a very stern voice) that it's not about the money and me being pampered. I turn my back and walk away. I look at Brigit and say - you're not going to help, are you? She shakes her head -- no.

Ted grabs my arm and tells me that he knows it's not about the money. That Bill is not at the right place in this lifetime to give me what I deserve - but he is. He hugs me tight and tells me to think "fuck off" to the both of them for now. I told him I already did - but here he is. He smiles and says I put the block up for Bill, but not for him. I smile and tell him that this will have to change. Ted says - good. It's not about him or Bill - but about me. That I need to focus in on me and not worry about the rest. It will all work out.

He hugs me all so tight, kisses me on the forehead and lets go. He tells me that he loves me and backs up -- disappears.

I turn to Brigit and ask - now what?

She grabs my hand and we walk through the clouds to emerge at the same path leading up to the stone castle/house from a previous vision. We are walking and I ask where are we? It feels like Europe. She nods her head. I comment - God I hope I didn't get kicked out of the states! She laughs and says no - I have several house there. I stop and look at her - several houses? How much money do I have? She smiles and says enough. We walk for a bit in silence and I stop again.

You mean "we" have several houses - we each own our own and have keys to the others. She smiles again and says yes, you have several houses. Nothing like a smart butt angel:)

I mention we must be in Germany. She smiles - kind of shakes her head back and forth to indicate that I'm close but no cigar. The UK? Smiles again. Okay - so "we" have a place in the UK. New Zealand - another smile. Thank God I get to be a Kiwi!

Next thing I know we are in the castle/house, downstairs in the offices. I'm in my office. I glance around and head out into an examination room. The place is empty. I see stones around everywhere, a table in the middle, an iPod, a fountain, a wall of dosage bottles, and the ceiling light has different colored disks that one can place over it to change the color of the light in the room.

I walk over the dosage bottles and ask - did I make all of these? She says that I used to - but now other's are trained in making them. They appear to be combinations of flower essence and stones - the same thing I am currently working on (in experimental phase).

I ask Brigit if I travel and lecture too - or do I stay here? She says I lecture, give workshops. I'm very busy. I ask her - were is my son? If I'm so busy - who is he with? She tells me not to worry about him - he is being very well looked after - he doesn't want for a thing. I ask if I get to spend enough time with him and she says yes. Wherever I go - he goes and I do not work after 5:00 pm.

I comment that this is all great - but how do I begin? I mean I have my writing, my readings and all that - how do I fit healing in and how do I FIT it in? How do I start? She grabs my hand and we walk right through a wall....

....and come out into my meadow. She tells me to kneel and ask. For some reason I feel funny doing it - but I follow orders and ask.. Jesus appears and tells me not to look at the whole picture - baby steps. I start to panic and say - I'll have to get an office...he calmly says - baby steps. I ask about the energy/distance healing and he says - yes - that is the correct starting point. I wake up.

After meditation - I added it to my site (well, a spot for it on the navigational menu).

Since I want to send those I'll do healing for a charged crystal - I adopted a boat load of Herkimer Diamonds. Maybe I will also send flower essence too or possibly make that separate. I don't know that yet.

I swallowed my fear and contacted via email Ted Henry from Channel 5 news to see if he can put me in touch with the faith healer. I also said - what the heck - and contacted the Montel Williams show to try to talk to Sylvia Browne about healing. It's starting to get more confusing as I have spirits show up and tell me names or show me people that they want me to visits. I don't know these people........sigh. Oh well - I'll figure it out somehow - I always do. Now that I've taken ownership of the healing gift - things will start to improve in that department.

The writing of the magic books is going oh so slow! I'm still on the Prosperity book. Hung up on the spells. So I pushed back when I'll return to reading to Oct 17th for now - might be Nov at the rate I'm going.

Better get back to work!

Until later...

Faith/Energy Healing and My Current Path.

This path that I'm on is wild and unpredictable one minute, steady and safe the next and always morphs into the unknown. Had anyone try to tell me what my life was going to be like when I was a teen or even in my early 20's I wouldn't have believed one part of it. All I wanted to do was to become an Archeologist (of course after I realized there is NO MONEY in digging up dead people did I switch to accounting. Now can you imagine me being a CPA? Ugh!).

I discovered that since seeing Bill on the 21st, our lights have merged more closely (if that even makes sense). In our dream visits since that night - instead of just sensing that we had visits, I now know as soon as I wake up. He's the first thought when I open my eyes and I can feel my conscious trying to dig up the information from the visits from the unconscious. Each day I get fragments - but they have all been the same: him apologizing, us at a resort, many crystals/stones, checking out of the resort, laying our hands on people.

Ted has also shown up a lot in my minds eye as I've been awake. Always the same message "I told you -- you've got the wrong man". Then every once in a while he chimes in "You wouldn't have this problem with me". (SIGH)

I'm certainly not the same person now then when I went to CA. I can't pinpoint what changed (other than more concentration on me) but more than meets the eye. My hands are hot 24/7 and I know that I'm supposed to do something about this path - this faith/energy healing that I can do. But what? It's not like I can advertise. The people I've told thus far (some members of my family, my husband) all shrug it off like I'm insane (nothing new here) - so they are no help in kicking around ideas. I do have two ideas - one joining the Red Cross and the other contacting a man by the name of Ted Henry from our Cleveland Channel 5 news for an introduction to a priest in Cleveland who is a faith healer. Maybe he can guide me on what to do? The whole idea though of faith healing makes me nervous. Not only because I know I cannot help everyone - but because my life is really going to change. I'm a Taurus. I like order, a schedule, peace and quiet. I know that will all change.

I haven't figured out what to do with my readings/spells due back on Oct 5th. I still have a lot of work to do. My gut tell same to put off returning for a couple more weeks - but the emails I've gotten from people who need my help is overwhelming. I still think I need an assistant. I don't know....

I did get a really cool new tarot deck in the mail the other day. I thought I was buying a book on Tree Magick, but instead it was a deck of 52 cards w/ a book. It's a nice deck.

Well, off to take my son to a birthday party!

Until tomorrow....

Saw Bill, My Script and a New Way of Thinking.

I'm still half asleep:) So I hope that this entry makes sense. The flights in last night were rough - much turbulence into both Atlanta and Akron. The flight home had so much bouncing around towards the end that I was saying a prayer to myself!

The meeting went very well. It was informative and I have many good ideas to add and subtract from the script to make it film worthy:) The woman I met with is top notch and simply a wonderful human being. Very nice energy. She supportive, giving and one of the few people I've met that deal with H'Wood that is actually sincere. No BS with her - she tells you like it is and that is what I love. She is very metaphysical/intuitive as well and it was fun bouncing around "vibes" with her. So meeting with her alone - was well worth the trip.

I attended a party while I was gone - the room had red velvet, gold leaf, overstuffed couches, a balcony with three bars. All that I've witnessed in past visions. Bill was there. He looked great - very handsome. But his eyes showed something very different - irritation, anger and a wish not to be there. His energy was very negative. If you stood back and watched him - as I did - he was gracious to those he spoke with - but if you actually looked at him, you could see that he wanted to be somewhere else. I stood back and watched him (although I did mingle, talk, meet new people...I didn't just stand there all night) and that was enough for me. I had a letter, something to say to him. But I knew it wasn't the time - at all. So I was content to be an observer - not a participant. Which - is how most of my visions come across - as me as an observer.

Disappointed that we didn't speak or nerve had eye contact? Sure I am. I didn't understand how it was so easy to get there if we were not meant to at least have a conversation. What I think it was is that my energy was needed to counteract the overwhelming energies of greed, self-interest and just a black slog of negativity. I could have followed suit and bothered him - but I couldn't do it. It was more important to him to have some breathing room than it was for me to invade his space. There will be another opportunity - I'm sure of it.

I was actually very happy to get out of there and move on to the rest of the evening. I could feel my energy shift to a more positive place:) My sister and I moved on to the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel where she used to work (she is now a personal assistant to 3 different people and loving it). Everyone there was great. Didn't see anyone famous - but that was just fine by me. A great security guy named Brian gave us a guided tour around the hotel from the famous pool to the bungalows to the ballrooms - it was all very beautiful and expensive:)

I decided on my trip home that I was not going to put the energy into Bill and Ted as I once did. Instead - I'm going to put it into myself. I'm always around for help and support. But they need to be the driving forces behind themselves - just as I need to be for myself.

I've got a lot of writing ahead for me. I wanted to get back to doing readings on Oct 2, but now I'm not so sure. I may hold off until the end of Oct. We'll see how the rest of Sept pans out.

I did have some poetic inspiration on the way home - must of wrote 20 or more poems. Won't bore you with them all - but here's one that struck a cord with me:

SEEDS OF VIOLENCE

Rooted in history
Buried within our souls
Violence bleeds,
--It Infects
--It Destroys

Behind the facade of normality
People live in fear

As anyone,
--A Mother
--A Child
--A Teacher

At anywhere,
--A Home
--A Diner
--A Church

At anytime,
--Morning
--Noon
--Night

Is capable to kill
If pushed
--Shoved
--Bullied

Rooted in history
Fear grips our souls.

Under the calmest of exteriors
Lies our seeds of violence.

I'm so behind schedule today that I can't even find my schedule!

Until later...

Bill, Ted and Alan!

Today I sat with my 3 Crystals, Healing Wand and a piece of Natural Turquoise. As soon as my hands grasped both ends of the wand I got zapped. This "zapping" is so odd to me as it just started about a week ago - and it shows no signs of going away. I'm taking this as an increase in my gifts - my personal power.

I ask to be taken wherever I'm needed. I emerge at a party. I sense my sister at my side - I can feel the butterflies in my stomach. I see Bill - he sees me and our eyes lock for what seems like an eternity, but only a brief second in reality. He smiles, I smile. His attention is called away. He glances back at me a few times, tilts his head as if his mind is racing and he is trying to do 100 things at once. My sister keeps saying - he's looking at you...he's looking at you! I only smile because I can feel his heart racing.

Now I'm in a big room - it's loud, lots of people. Alan comes over to me and introduces himself. He's very funny - very witty. He looks good - a slight tan, hair a bit longer than I'm used to seeing. He has on a light - almost tan or cream-colored suit. He keeps staring at me - makes me rather uncomfortable. He asks if we need a drink. We say - sure! He leaves. I can sense someone looking at me. I glance around and it's Ted. He sees me catch his eyes and he looks away very fast. That's when I see Bill get up from the table - glance over at me and walk towards the back. I get up to follow and Alan pops up, with drinks in hand. I tell him thank you - and I'll be right back. But he's following me - I'm annoyed.

A woman comes up to me and asks if I'm Allie. I say yes (with a very confused look on my face). She comments that she reads my blog. Asks about the trip. I tell her I'll be right back.

I get to the back - with Alan at my heels and I cannot find Bill. Now I'm really annoyed. I know that I can find him if Alan would just go somewhere else - but he's like a faithful dog, he won't leave my side.

Next thing I know I am surrounded by a white light. I'm in front of Jesus and he is speaking to me in Latin. I seem to understand him, because I answer back. I have so much light being poured into me that I'm glowing. I hear Jesus say - you are loved.

And I wake up.

Packing for the trip. So much to get done and feels like so little time to do it. I leave 1st thing in the morning. If you think of it - I could use the extra support and light on the 21st. All day - but the evening from 5:30 pm PST on is the most important.

Thank you!

Talk to you guys on Friday!

Interesting Dream Visit with Bill...and GW?

I'm trying so hard to get things done before I leave on Tuesday - but today I am not making much progress thus far. Of course - since I found out about the 21st and CA - I haven't gotten much done at all. There's no way to get the books done by October - if I'm lucky, I'll have 2 more done. And that's pushing it. I don't know why I have such a time with the spells. I can do them in my sleep. But I love to research - and that I think - is where my problem lies. One thing leads to another and another and another until I am completely off course.

Plus I can't help but shake the feeling that the person who hops on the plane on Tuesday will not be the same person who hops off the plane on Thursday. Wednesday is going to rock my world - completely shake it up and send it into directions that I never dreamed were possible. I can't put all the puzzle pieces into place yet - too many fragments to sort out. But I KNOW that my blog entry on Friday the 23rd will be the most interesting one I've posted. So make sure you check back then!

I had the most interesting dream visit with Bill last night. But before I tell you about that - I had an interesting dream with George W. in it. We were in an Airbus. No one was on board but me, him and another woman (not the 1st lady) and two dogs - my snoop Indy Jones and another beagle mix I met at the vet earlier in the day.

I had Indy on a leash - and we were approaching the airport. The auto pilot was about to shut off and us 3 knew we were screwed. I had the woman my dog and she takes the other dog and goes to the back of the plane to buckle in. GW and I head to the cockpit - I take the pilots seat and he takes co-pilot (didn't want the pilots seat). I put on the radio and I can hear a man talking with a heavy Asian accent - but he was speaking English. I remember looking at all the controls and thinking "just remember your movies - you've watch airplane movies before" I look over and I know that I will have to lower the flaps. I'm trying to get control and GW is punching all of the buttons - I'm following behind him to deactivate what he pushes. We are about to land and I hear the control tower say - no good. With that the auto pilot kicks in and the nose of the plane makes a sharp shift up - and we shoot straight up back into the sky. As we are turning to make another pass - I move into the visit with Bill.

Bill and I are in a crowded room. He has on a red shirt, long sleeve and we are sitting next to one another on the couch. I look over to the adjoining room and see people by a pool table. I lean over to whisper into his ear and my voice chooks up - so I clear my throat and try again. I tell him that I have to go to the bathroom - does he want to come with me to the other room? He says yes and we get up. Now he takes the path with no people to go over and around - he disturbs no one. Me on the other hand heads directly into the crowd bugging people and asking people to move out of the way. I am thinking to myself - why did I go this way? I know better. There are two men who are playing chess and have their legs extended straight out and in my way. I step over the 1st one and it is one of my uncles - I step over the next one and it is my uncle who died a couple of years ago (and the 1st uncle's brother) - he just looks at me smiles and says - its about time.

Bill and I are outside - it's a fall day. We are walking on what looks like a college campus. He now has on a black shirt, long sleeves and it feels silky. We stop and he embraces me - gives me the most amazing kiss. He then says - this is the first sexual stimulation I've had in a long time - laughs - and says - I love it! I laugh and say it's been awhile for me too! He reaches around with both hands and grabs my butt. He asks if I've ever been part of ______ (can't remember name) ice capades because I have a strong skaters butt. I laugh and say no as I reach around and grab his butt. I'm thinking how great his butt feels when I transfered to another dream.

I am telling my husband that this is it - I want a divorce. I've had it. He says - what about all the food I've bought for you? I'm like - what? What about the food I've cooked for you? Which leads me into this next dream.....

I am in a ritzy restaurant - but dressed rather casual. Bill and I are enjoying a nice dinner. A dark haired woman at the next table is talking to me - you can tell she either has money or is on the trail for it. This is when my husband (I know he is an ex by this dream) and my son walk in and sit down at the table wit the woman. Neither guy realizes I am there - Bill and I just look over like - I can't believe you didn't bother to say hi.

The woman asks my now ex how did he get a table? Did he have to make a reservation? I hear his response - since my ex wife published her book - it's easy to get a table anywhere.

Then I wake up.

Interesting. I'm not sure how GW ties in with the rest - but I still find it all food for thought. I tell ya what though - Bill's butt in those jeans, that butt in my hands...I can still feel it! LOL!

Until later...

URGENT: Tell President Bush the animals need his help

On Wednesday, one of our Disaster Animal Response Teams in New Orleans rescued a St. Bernard from a rooftop – a dog they described as the most emaciated animal they had ever seen in all their years of handling animals. The veterinarian who treated the dog was shocked that the animal, who weighed just 40 pounds, was still alive.

Who helped us rescue this animal? It was several National Guardsmen, who heeded our rescuers’ pleas to take them through the water on a tank so they could get up on the roof to save the dog.

But the troops’ actions were not ordered by the National Guard – nor by the White House, the Defense Department, the Department of Homeland Security, or the state of Louisiana. In fact, despite our repeated requests, none of these entities has formally agreed to marshal their ground forces to help rescue the pets and other animals slowly starving to death in the affected areas.

At a press conference just a few hours ago, I implored the federal government to come up with the nation's first animal rescue plan. Now, I am writing to ask you to give them the same message: Please call or email President Bush and other officials today and urge them to help us before it’s too late.

Time is running out for these animals. Every hour that passes means more pets, locked behind closed doors in the disaster zone, will die of starvation. Our teams are working as hard as they can to reach as many pets as they can - and as we reported to you on Wednesday, we’ve rescued thousands. But there are thousands more.

At this 11th hour, when so many lives are at stake, we are asking you to help. I urge you to contact these government officials today and ask them to help rescue animals before it is too late. Please click here to call or send an email to President Bush and other federal and state officials who have the power to order National Guardsmen and other responders to assist with food drops, help supply our own operations, and do whatever else it takes to save animals.
One of our rescuers said it best: “We should not have to rely on the compassionate instincts of individual Guardsmen to rescue these animals. We need the full commitment of the government.”

Members of Congress have also been calling on President Bush and the federal agencies to actively assist with direct animal rescue. With most of the human victims of the catastrophe removed from the city, it’s not too late to save animals’ lives. It’s time for the government to recognize the incredible bond between people and their pets, and step in to help.
On behalf of the animals and our disaster teams, thank you.

Sincerely,
Wayne Pacelle
President & CEOThe Humane Society of the United States

P.S. Do you have a question about our disaster response for animals? Then please read our frequently asked questions. If you don’t find your answer there, then call us at 1-800-HUMANE-1 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Eastern time, or reply to this email (disaster@hsus.org) with the topic of your question identified in the subject line. Thank you!

Ted Insists He's It and Bill Has Questions!

I decided to sit today with my wand, the Malibu stone, Mica and surrounded by the three crystals. My right hand, in which sits the side of the wand with the Generator Crystal, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Moldavite, was just sparking up a storm during the whole session. I had to keep moving my right hand because it kept getting zapped by little zaps. Reminded me of a group of electric gnats biting my hand. When I was finished - the Mica and Malibu stone had the same zapping energy. My poor hands - LOL!

I entered today into what looked like a lobby - with a shiny marble floor, red velvet drapes, gold leaf designs on the trim. I was by myself. In a flash a whole crowd of people were walking around and my sister was at my side. I'm looking around and I see Bill off in the distance - next to him is Clive, Frank and Ted. I whisper to my sister how good they look. Frank looks at me and waves - elbows Bill and nods in my direction. He sees me and his face lights up. He is being called to go in a different direction - but makes a beeline to me. He gives me a kiss on the cheek and says that he's glad I could make it. His smile is so big and genuine - melts my heart.

Time reverses itself to the start of this day. I am at an outdoor cafe with a woman. Bill joins us. He shakes my hand and we both get an electrical zap that takes us both by surprise. The lunch is going well. But Bill and I chat more among the two of us than with the woman. I can see her sit back and smile. Our legs are resting against one another and there is such energy passing between us. Neither one of us moves our leg. Bill points to something out on the ocean. I don't have my glasses so I can't see. He asks the woman if she can excuse us for a minute and she says sure.

With his hand on my back to guide me, we go across the deck, down the deck and down the stairs to the beach. His is pointing at something but I can't see it. So he puts his face next to mine - on the right - and points again. Now it's not that I can't see - but his breath is on my neck. I can feel myself about to turn to puddy when the day fast forwards into where I started.

It gets a bit jumbled here. I'm now an observer as well as a participant... I see reading something, but he isn't sure what to do. I feel him watch me. We jump to him asking me many questions. Then I'm getting a very deep and meaningful kiss.

Ted arrives on the astral plane and grasps my elbow. He tells me why am I wasting my time on Bill? I tell him to stop it. He goes on - that Bill will reject me - that he is the one that loves me - that no matter how many times I reject the idea, it's him, not Bill that I will be with.

I ask him why is he doing this to me? He replies because I love you. It's his turn. He is tired of being second. I tell him that no one is second. He says in this - yes he is second. He promises to love me, to take care of me. I tell him that I'm not a housewife. He knows he says - he doesn't want that. He doesn't want to change me - he only wants to love me.

Someone must be waking him up because he is being pulled backwards and he doesn't want to go. The last thing he says is that Bill will reject me. That hurt. With tears in my eyes Brigit arrives, behind her is Jesus. I am asked - am I ready? I say yes. I go to add a "but" -- but nothing comes out. Jesus kisses me on my forehead and tell me that I have the love and the blessings of the Divine at my side -- always.

Then I wake up.

Ted has really been "right there" lately. I even had a dream the other night where I ordered an astrology reading online. I print it out - there is someone next to me - and one line jumps out "Allie with be with Ted first" I was stunned as there was no info entered about the guys for the reading - nor did I use my name - I made one up. So to find my name, along with Ted, through me for a loop. I was denying it with whomever was next to me. I was pretty mad.

I keep getting a sense that either Bill is reading this blog or the woman friend of his (who I mentioned several weeks ago was a negative influence on him) is reading it. But I've got that overwhelming sensation that somehow Bill or someone who is close to Bill is being kept in the loop about the blog.

Getting ready to head to CA next week. It's amazing on what I have to do in order to be gone a whole 3 days!

Must get back to work!

Until later...

Oregon Chabazite, A Castle and Some Poems!

I tried for about two hours to post this - Blogger wasn't being nice!

This session sent chills through my spine - not sure why the chills - but when I woke up the hair on my arms was standing up as well as me having goose bumps. A good sign - maybe?

I sat surrounded with my 3 crystals, holding my wand and my Oregon Chabazite. Before I tell you about the session - after the session I looked up the energy of this spirit as I had forgotten. At least now I know why it wanted to join me:

Translates our intention into a language that communicates, through all facets of our wholeness, with Creation. Evokes a state of euphoria that can lead to transcendent experiences, including altered states of consciousness and communion with/through the "language of light." Opens clearer communication with what we understand as our "higher self," eliminating confusion in the dialog and enhancing our understanding of what this facet of self is sharing with us.

Okay. I was immediately drawn into the light and found myself standing in from of Jesus. He smiles and kisses my forehead. Ted and Bill both arrive at my side. We are telepathically instructed to hold out our hands - palms up. We do. On each palm an "X" is cut with an unseen object. Our hands bleed. We are instructed to hold hands and sit on the ground - close our eyes. When we grab each other's hands - I can feel the blood coursing through my hands and into them and their blood into me. My hands are hot and throbbing.

As soon as we sit - we are surrounded by an ocean of angels. Cindy is standing next to Jesus - all in white and bathed in the same white light as he. Cindy, Jesus and the angels pour light into use three - surround us and place us in a light bubble. I can sense the "blackness" being lifted out of all three of us and floating up to the heavens.

Our souls then pulled out into the center and merged into a spiral. This part is hard to describe, but when the souls became one - it entered all three of us as one soul - not 3 separate souls. Kind of like a large white, cloudy blob sinking into all three of us simultaneously.

We open our eyes and us three are sitting on a walking path. We are dressed like we are today. We look at our hands - they are fine - no cuts. None of us know where we are. Over the path as far as we can see in either direction are massive trees that arch over and connect with the tree on the other side of the path. The trees are in bloom with white and pink flowers or buds. It's so beautiful and peaceful. We go up the path, round a corner to the left and come upon a castle. Very large, very old and made of stone. We are entering through the back entrance to a courtyard. None of us know this castle.

We are in a large bedroom - with a HUGE bed - 4 poster, canopy, silk or satin sheets with a thick bedspread. This is our room - all three of us. It is richly decorated. Red velvet. Mirrors. Tapestries. All three of us are looking around in shock. I go to the mirror and my hair is pulled back - I have on little make-up. I am in nice slacks and a blouse. I have on my 3 stone pendant. I'm in shoes with a slight heel. Now since I don't wear heels of any kind (hate them) to me this is the oddest part - me in heels.

We descend down a flight of stone steps - maybe about 10 and approach a large wooden door. We open it and it's a clinic. A healing clinic - our clinic and we have patients waiting for us. A woman comes up and hands me a stack of phone messages - something about the Guardian wanting to talk to me (I believe this is a British newspaper, similar to our NY Times). We kind of stand there in shock. I see Brigit far down at the end of a hall. I walk to her - calling out her name. She doesn't say a word. She points and I know it's my office.

On the way to the office I see crystals/stones everywhere - in the lobby, offices, in the examination rooms (along with jars of herbs). I look at Brigit and ask her what is going on. She smiles at me - blows me a kiss and disappears.

I wake up.

For better or worse, I had some poetic inspiration last night:

In my heart
I am searching for the words
--the right words
To let you know that I care.

But the words will not flow
As easily as I need
And I watch you walk past
Out the door
Into the night

And out of my life
--Again.

*************************

Will you remember the color of my eyes
The softness of my lips
The tenderness of your words
As they drift from your mouth to my ear?

Can you remember the lifetimes of love?
--of laughter?
--of friendship?

Or are your fragments of memory
Tainted with the many moons that we have been separated
Through time
With a long distance
That makes the conscious forget
What the soul eternally remembers.

When the past threatens to consume the present,
What will you do?
Escape?
Forget?
Or surrender to the calling?

Do not think about it too much
Or analyze the possibilities
Just let your soul remember
And be happy
For I know I will be
Full of happiness and eternally grateful
That the past joined the present.

Do you remember the baby that was born to the brain-dead woman? She died over the weekend of an infection. The mother - Susan came to me in a dream about a week ago. I could only remember bits - but she said - let her go. I didn't know what that meant. Then over the weekend I spent time - during my dreams - in a hospital (I remember in fragments). I put two and two together when I read the article. I wish visions didn't have to be a puzzle all the time - why can't I just see things like they do on TV or in the movies? It sure would save on the confusion.

Until later....

Horse slaughter vote in Senate! Action needed now!

https://community.hsus.org/campaign/ensign_amendment

Thanks to the outpouring of support and assistance from our members, supporters, and friends, The Humane Society of the United States is continuing our animal rescue operation in response to Hurricane Katrina. We know it is a difficult time for both people and animals and, now, we face another enormous challenge. We need your help immediately to save our horses.

A crucial vote on whether to end the slaughter of American horses is expected to take place as soon as Tuesday, Sept. 13, in the U.S. Senate. This is our big chance to stop the annual killing of 90,000 American horses for food exports. It is absolutely essential that we reach every single member of the U.S. Senate today to secure their votes for the Ensign-Byrd horse slaughter amendment. Please call and email your two U.S. Senators today!

1. Make a Call. Please make a brief, polite phone call to each of your two U.S. Senators and urge them to support the Ensign-Byrd horse slaughter amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations bill. Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to speak to your Senators or call their Washington, D.C. offices directly.


Not sure what to say? You can simply say this:
"My name is [your name] and I'm calling from [your city and state]. I'm calling to urge Senator [your Senator's name] to support the upcoming Ensign-Byrd* horse slaughter amendment on the Agriculture Appropriations bill. I care very much about our horses and am horrified that thousands are sent to slaughter for European and Asian markets each year. Thank you."*Pronounced "En-sin" and "Bird"

2. Take action. Send an email to your Senators and urge them to support the Ensign-Byrd horse slaughter Agriculture Appropriations amendment.

3. Spread the word. Every single Senator needs to hear from concerned citizens like you. Ask your friends and family to call their Senators as well.

https://community.hsus.org/campaign/ensign_amendment

You have the power to help put an end to the abhorrent practice of butchering our horses for menus overseas. The U.S. House of Representatives has already passed an amendment to prevent the use of tax dollars for horse slaughter. This tremendous victory could stop the slaughter of horses in the U.S. and prevent horses from being shipped elsewhere for slaughter -- IF the Senate passes the Ensign-Byrd amendment this week.

Please stand with us to spare the lives of our wonderful horses. This is the homestretch -- with your help, we can push this legislation across the finish line and save America's horses from a horrible fate. Thank you for all you do on behalf of animals.

Sincerely,
Wayne PacellePresident & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States

Bill, Ted and Some Future Visions?

I sat with my wand and Astrophylite and Garnet sphere. I love the way the sphere feels in my hands. It's such an energized, lively spirit!

I first get a glimpse of Bill at a party. He's dressed in a dark gray jacket & pants with a blue shirt. He has a big smile on his face.

Then I'm standing on the beach - looking out over the green/blue water. It's peaceful. I can smell the ocean and feel the cool breeze on my face. The white sand is remarkably cool under my feet.

I see Bill to my left. He is all smiles - comes up and gives me a great big ole hug and kiss. He looks refreshed, happy and alive. He has a special glow to him. I tell him he looks good. He says I look better:) I told him that I saw a picture of him and Ted from the other night - that they looked happy. He says it was great to see him - it's been too long. Said that Ted will be in town soon. I tell him that I should go. He's surprised. I comment that he's been bitching about me coming out to find him - so why not?

He gives me a kiss and says he can't wait to see me. I asked if he would like to kiss me in the physical realm - he smiles and says that he would like to do more than just kiss (as he bites at my neck). I tell him then to quit screwing around and get his butt into gear.

Ted shows up behind me and wraps his arms around me. He asks - what butt into gear? Bill comments that I said I'm going to show up and see him. Ted smiles and says - really? I tell him ya - so leave the ball and chain back across the pond. He laughs and says - alright then.

I asked them both if they talked about me the other night. They both says yes - they talked about the brown-eyed beauty that they cannot get out of their mind.

With that, Archangel Gabriel shows up and extends her hand. I wave bye to the guys and take it. I then see flashes of:

--Bill and I rolling around on my son's bottom bed (he has a bunk bed) and me saying it feels weird to be kissing in my kid's room.

--Bill and I at the local Wal-Mart shopping

--Bill, Ted and I on my deck cooking out

--Bill, Ted and I on the beach - kicking back and discussing a movie.

Then I wake up.

Each flash of vision was odd because I could hear the commotion of others at Wal-Mart, could smell what we were grilling, could again feel and smell the ocean (but this time the water was not blue/green - damn - no island vacation).

I decide to go work out today. First time in about 2 months. Ouch! Man do I hurt. Serves me right though for putting it off!

My son wakes up at 1:00 am. Says he feels better (had the sniffles yesterday) and proceeds to play his Leapster. At 4:00 am the kid is still up. I tried to fall asleep - but my dreams were very active. Unfortunately I don't remember them. I woke up after each REM cycle. My brain kept trying to process information - but was failing to grasp whatever situations were playing out in dreamtime.

Best get back to work!

Until later...

Bill, Ted, Alan and Some Poetic Inspiration!

I'm knee deep in writing my spells for book 2 - so I wasn't going to even write in the blog today. But that damn little voice is telling me to do it anyways. So here I am!

I've had some interesting views on the blog Friday and today. I hope those who are that interested will step up and post - ask a question, comment, or just say "Hi". I don't bite - honest!

9 Days until I leave for CA. The 21st is a big fricken day in Allie's life. Much more going on than I've revealed - but suffice to say it is important stuff. If something comes of my trip to Hollyweird I will certainly let all know the good or not so good news. But if you have some extra time on your hands on the 21st - can you send me some light and good thoughts? I'd greatly appreciate the help.

The Red Cross needs 40,000 replacements to relieve the volunteers in the Gulf coast. I'm seriously considering signing up when I get back from CA. But what troubles me about going is leaving my son behind for a few weeks. I don't have any back-up down here in Wooster to help out and the hubby works 2nd shift. Mom lives over and hour away and I can't ask her to take off work and come down. I know though that if I'm meant to go - that all will work out.

Had a really nice dream visit with Bill and Ted last night. I can only remember fragments - but they were both together - physically in the same place - and they decided to try to visit me together. I can remember the elation of actually "finding" me. The hugs and kisses. A lot of fast talking - like we were all try to get it all out and fast, in case one of us woke up. Their eyes were bloodshot - as if they were drinking a wee bit that night. But what I remember most is both of them saying "I can't wait!" Only problem is I don't know what they are looking forward to!

Remember that dream I had with Alan in it:
http://www.gypsyadvice.com/alliestwocents/2005/07/dreams-bathroom-and-guy-named-alan.html

Well - he was back again last night. After my visit with Bill and Ted - I'm talking with Alan in the midst of many people. Looks like there is Egyptian art all around and that we are at a party. He just keeps talking to me, smiling and repeating how interesting I am. That I'm not like all the rest. I can see Bill and Ted far off and I try to make it to them. But Alan is right next to me telling me that I'm the one. He wants to take me on a trip. I remind him that I can't go - I'm married. He shrugs and says well we both know what's happening there. Then I remind him that he is not the one - my one has blue and green eyes. He asks how can he have both? I don't want to explain it to him - so I try to leave. Next thing I know he is there with a picnic basket - begging me to leave. I tell him that I need a drink and for him to go away for awhile. He says not a chance.

Then I wake up.

(SIGH)

Glad the guy finds me interesting - but gosh darn it!

I actually just had some poetic inspiration - it's been a while. Bill must be writing again!

High upon the plain I stand.
Looking down:

Wondering --
Observing --
Searching --

For the one who take me to the next level,
The next plane of life.
The one I've been waiting,
To stand by my side,
Once again.

My eternal commitment,
Will continue,
Through the sands of time.

Until she realizes,
That there is nothing to be frightened of,
Nothing I cannot protect her from,
Nothing I cannot love her through,
And comes home.

Hope all is having a nice day!

Until tomorrow....

Toronto, Helping Animals in Need and My Son!

My sessions never cease to amaze me. It was nice to get back on schedule again!

Today I sat with my wand - and that was all I was going to use, surround by my 3 large quartz crystal, until this purplish stone - with some clear and pink spots screamed out "Me too"! So I grabbed my Magenta Liddicoatite Tourmaline (which reminds one to remember that our essence is eternally lined with the Divine - not in the past, put in the present) and sat down.

Now this is the first time I used this combination and almost immediately, I could feel electric pulse leap out form my hands - into the wand/stone and back again. I had to remove my right hand from the wand several times to stop the circuit as the entire session I was being lovingly shocked!

I immediately entered in what looked like a large hotel suite or apartment with a great view of Toronto. Clive, Ted and Bill were all relaxed on a white couch - reminded me of one of those pit couches, but without the "pit". It curved like an "L" with the portion Bill was on - the huge windows were behind him.

Clive is talking and I walk up to him and whisper in his ear to bring me up - to discuss me. He tilts his head as if he consciously heard what I said. I crouch in front of him and stare deep into his eyes and tell him again to talk about me. To bring up the brown-eyed woman he does not know, but cannot forget.

I move to Ted and stare deep into his eyes. He looks at me as if he is looking at me, but right through me (which since I was invisible, I guess that would be right). He is discussing some match he watched on the TV. I am telling him to open up, to ask questions about the woman who is in his dreams, his mind, his life - but not by his side. Then his girlfriend comes around the couch and sits down next to him. I tell him to bring me up later.

Next I move to Bill and tell him to talk about the muse for his poems, his short stories. Bring me up - talk about the eyes you see everywhere but are nowhere to be found. Talk about the frustration of trying to put it all together. He is talking with his hands and his right hand passes "through" me. I felt such an energized buzz from that. He must of too (and it scared him) cause he pulled back his hand and rubbed it.

I feel someone next to me and it is Archangel Gabriel. Everytime I see her I am surprised that she is a she and not a he like I learned while growing up. I ask - where is Brigit? She says that Brigit is needed elsewhere. She holds out her hand and I take it. We ascend up into the clouds.

Next thing I know I am in a HUGE animal shelter. This place looked like it as a convention center or maybe a stadium at some time. But there are hundreds of animals everywhere in cages.

I can feel the pain and confusion of the animals. Tears stream down my face. I have a boxer right in front of me who is just staring at me. Not barking - nothing - but staring with its little stub tail wagging. I reach out and surprisingly, I can touch it and feel the dogs fur. It's very happy to see me. I'm really shocked that it can see me and before I know it - all the other animals in my area are looking at me too. I'm petting some animals, trying to calm them down. I ask Gabriel what am I to do - there are so many of them? Then I notice that in the corner - the vets are putting them down them one right after the other. Not caring age, breed or health. The one female vet is having a hard time doing this - and I can sense that she is under orders to do so.

Gabriel tells me to send out a blanket of white light. I can feel the light going through the top of my head, through my body and going out in all directions - entering all the animals and humans. I can see the souls of the deceased animals ascending into the heavens.

Once I'm done I turn around and I can see this little gray cat all bunched up in a corner of her cage because she is so traumatized. She won't let me pet her and by the looks of her food dishes - she 's not eating. I just know that if she won't eat - that they will put her to sleep. Just then I get a sense that the boxers "mother" is here - but can't find him and is about to leave. In a split second I am by her side and I'm coaxing her to go back in and follow me. Her unconscious self follows my voice all the way through the shelter until we get to the cage. She sees the boxer and squeals in delight - calls him "Mugsy". She is beside herself that she almost left without him. Mugsy looks at me and gives me a thank you bark.

I turn back around and pay attention to the cat. I can move her dish closer to her. I'm talking to her and she finally sniffs my hand. Very slowly she comes out - gives me the most pathetic meow. I get to pet her and she finally eats!!

Gabriel says I'm done.

Next thing I know is that I'm alone on the beach. I can feel the breeze and smell the water - it's great. Bill shows up on my left. I ask what's he doing here. He replies he could sense that I was here -and well - so is he. We chat a bit - I tell him that I will see him soon. He hugs me, kisses me a few times. Then he stares at me and asks - will he recognize me? I say that some part of him will - but if he opened himself up more to our meeting - then more of him will know, pulling his knowledge into his conscious. I'll be right there - all he'll have to do is say hi.

Now he is hugging me again - but it's more of a squishing. I tell him that I can't breath - and he lets go apologizing. I can see Gabriel near us and she is sending a cascade of white light to us and it surrounds us to a point that all we can see is each other. He gives me a kiss. Tells me that the night might be crazy. I assured him that it will. He tells me that no matter what - come up and at least say hi. I tell him that I will do just that!

Then I wake up.

Will I actually get to see Bill? Who knows? But I'll never stop trying to make it happen.

My son wakes up today at 5:00 am. I tell him to go back to sleep. He is crying and wanting me to go to bed with him. I ask him what is wrong? He tells me that I'm not coming back. I ask - when? He says when you go for your walk, you don't come back. I assure him that I will be back. He says no - a car will smoosh me. So I didn't walk. He was very insistent on me staying home and when I looked outside an hour later - the fog was as thick as pea soup. Maybe he had a vision? Don't know - but I listened to the guy and hung out with him!

Back to the books I go!

Until tomorrow...

Healing, Katrina, and an Event!

What a labor day weekend. It was nice hanging out with my family - my brother-in-law's father came over from Manchester, England for a couple of weeks. He's getting the biggest kick out of American food and culture. He also cannot believe how big the US is compared to the UK. He also shook his head many times at me - says I'm completely different than my sister. My mom has to chime in and comment that all 3 of her girls are very different, you'd never know we had the same parents! Which is very true to a degree - although we do share some of the same, opinionated, stubborn traits:) At least we all agree that George W. Bush is an ineffective (among many, many other terms I won't use here) President and ought to be kicked out on his ass.

I also had to say bye to my dad and step mom. They are moving to FL in about a week. I jealous that they get out of Ohio - but they are moving to more Bush territory (GW bro is Governor of the state) and for that I feel sorry for them. But hey - at least no more winters!

I decided to do my session today as I'll be in Cleveland all day tomorrow. I'm writing a couple of episodes for a local TV drama and I'm attending the filming:)

I sat only with my healing wand and three crystals. The energy that is coursing through me today is wonderful - it's energizing, loving and healing. I enter directly into an event. Not sure where - although my looking up at the palm trees and feeling the sun, I'm thinking CA. There are many people around - some dressed up, some not. But all look very nice. I look down at me and I'm in a dark green pants outfit with some sort of cool blue design on it. A nice silk blouse under the jacket. It feels really good:) I look up and to my right and staring at me is Ted. If a wind hit him, he would fall over. I can tell that I'm not an observer here - but an active participant. He's just staring at me. A woman (his girlfriend - the same one that is bad for him) comes over and asks for something. At first he doesn't hear her - she looks over and glares at me so I quickly look away. He answers her and she leaves. He is staring at me again. Bill approaches Ted and says something to him. Ted says nothing but nod in my direction. I see Bill look at me - I smile at both and wave. The color drains from Bill's face. Ted steadies him. They comment between them. Then Bill takes off to me with Ted behind him. Bill stops right in front and just stares. I ask him if he would mind kissing me so that we are both sure this isn't a dream. He smiles and kisses me. I almost fall over. I feel a hand on my back and it's my sister steadying me. There are people calling both of them - they have to go. Ted is still doing or saying nothing but staring at me. I tell them both that I will see them later. Bill's like - promise? I say - promise. Ted is still staring. His girlfriend looks at me - man is she pissed.

Brigit is at my side. I look over and say - I thought this was real. She says - it is, but you're needed elsewhere. Can't I stay? I ask. No - you've seen enough. She replies. Internally - I'm cussing. I separate from "me" and follow her.

I enter into a shelter full of children. I know that these children have to be misplaced because of Katrina. I ask Brigit what am I to do. She tells me just to touch the children as I pass them - the energy passing through me to them is what they need to help them through the pain of separation. I can see the energy passing from my hands into the children. There is a group of kids in a circle - ranging from age 5 up to 13 (I think) playing a game with an adult. I can feel a 5 year old girl eye's follow me all around the circle. When I get to her she looks up and asks - are you an angel? I smile and say no, I'm a helper. She asks if I will go to help find her parents. I agree. The adult asks who she is talking to - she looks up at me and says - just a helper.

Brigit and I seem to be in nothingness - it's all just white. I ask her about the girl's parents. She says that the father has passed over, but the mother is in a shelter and that is where we are headed.

I think we are in the Houston Astrodome. We stop next to a woman clutching a teddy bear on a cot. Her eyes are swollen from crying. The little girls name was Lateesha (I don't think that is spelled right). I bend down into the woman's ear and tell her that her daughter's alive in a shelter in Baton Rouge. She looks around to see who is talking to her - she doesn't see me. But I say it again and the woman cries. I place my hand on her shoulder and she can feel the energy pour into her. She begins to pray.

Brigit tells me it is time for me to go home. I ask to do more. She says no - if I wear myself out I'm no good to others.

I wake up with tears streaming down my face. My heart breaks seeing all of those lost people - all those parents and children not knowing if the other is alive. It's unsettling.

Until later...

New Orleans and More Glimpses of the Future!

Look like the state of OR liked me last night - or had fun making fun of me. Not sure which. But I had over 80 hits from that state - which is odd. But no one commented on anything (Leann - you're not in this bunch...grin). Very odd.

Speaking of odd - today's session was odd in it felt like as I was traveling to various locations, someone was trying to pull me to them. It was an odd feeling having been pulled in more than one direction. I only sat with my wand, surrounded by the three crystals.

I am at an outdoor cafe - I'm sitting down across from two people - to talk about "The Black Triangle". They are telling me how much they loved it and that who I picked for leads was perfect. They mention an actors name and then say - speak of the devil. I look up and that very actor is sitting down next to me apologizing for being late.

Brigit shows up and grabs my shoulder - time to go she says. But...I try to say something and I can feel me being pulled out of "me" - so I watch the meeting go on (with me talking) and we leave to arrive in the meadow. I ask why? She says I'm not supposed to interfere.

Jesus arrives and embraces me. Asks how am I doing? I reply that I feel okay - but I've been better. He says that I will be better once again. He goes on to say that my cousin is really going to need me over the next month - and I say I know. He tells me that it my cousin's time but he need not to be afraid and this is what I am to help him with. I nod in agreement. Jesus tells me I'm needed else where.

I'm waist high in disgusting water - I know I'm in New Orleans. In the blink of an eye I'm on the outside of the Superdome where all the people are trying to get a bus. I'm up in the air - feel like I'm sitting on a machine or locker of sorts. I'm told to close my eyes, put my hands out and send light to all to calm down. So I do. The energy is so intense when you work with a large group of people. When I'm finished, I'm taken to a roof top. I can feel someone barely alive below. I ask how am I supposed to get to her? Brigit replies, go through the roof. Such an odd feeling to go through a solid structure - reminds me of butterflies in my stomach when you hit he 1st big hill of a roller coaster.

Anyway - there is an elderly woman there - almost dead. No food, water, it's sweltering inside. I look down and I can see the water and a couple of bodies. I almost throw up. Brigit gets my attention and I go to the woman. I place my hands on her and send as much light as I can muster. She stirs, opens her eyes. Smiles and calls me an angel. I'm taken a back that she can see me. I kiss her on the forehead and tell her that help is on the way.

We leave through the roof as I ask Brigit how did she see me? She replies that when we are close to the threshold of birth or death - the veil between worlds is very thin. It's easy to see to the other side. I can see rescue workers. I ask what am I supposed to do? She tells me to make the house "shine". So I send light into the house. It must of worked, because here they come. They land on the house and call out - no one answers - or rather they cannot hear her. They turn to leave and I don't know how I did it - but I knocked the chainsaw from his hands. he picked it up and I did it again. One more time - one more time it falls. He tells his buddy that he is going through the roof. He does and there is the old woman. She keep going on about how an angel sent them.

I can sense a wet kitten in a tree. I ask to go there and she says - well then go. Next thing I know I am in a tree getting this poor hungry kitten out of a tree. Looks as if he was in a war zone. I place him on the ground and his mother comes rushing over.

Brigit tells me it is time to go - but I tell her that I must go to Cindy's house and look in on her and her family. We arrive at her house, overrun with people from New Orleans, and I place what is left of the light I can channel into the home. Once my supply is exhausted, I tell Brigit okay.

Brigit and I are back in the meadow. I look over and Ted is standing there. He gives me that knee buckling smile, rushes over and scoops me up in his arms. BTW..I no longer feel that pull. I guess I know who was trying to get my attention? He gives me a very gentle kiss and comments how much he has missed me. Brigit tells us to go over to the large birdbath (I don't know what else to call it) from Atlantis. With Ted on my right, I feel a kiss on my left cheek. It's Bill. He brushes my hair back off my shoulder and says - Hi Beautiful. (SIGH) I almost melt. Jesus arrives and wants us three to look inside and view a few things.

We look into the pool of water and I can me giving birth and Ted delivering (which I have witnessed in visions before). Ted comments that he hopes he's doing a good job. I elbow Bill and ask him where is he. He chuckles and shrugs. Next in view is us three in front of a crowd of what looks like thousands - they have all lined up in the hopes of being healed. You could hear all three of us gasp - like oh my how can we handle that? We are assured that we'll be fine. Then there are some quick glimpses at us giving a workshop, looking over our animal sanctuary, working in a alternative medical practice and finally of being in Europe - by the water.

The visions end and Jesus tells us that we must return and continue to work on ourselves for only if we are our own solid foundation can we be in a place to help others.

I wake up.

That's about it for today. It's Labor Day weekend and family is in town. So I doubt that I will post - but one never knows what can happen with family around:) Those of you in the states, have a good holiday weekend - everyone else have a good weekend and let's all remember to send out prayers to the victims of Katrina - and if possible, opens our wallets and donate.

Until later...

CA in Sept, Flower Essences and 2 Saints?

Ah...what a difference a day makes. I'm on my meds for my bronchitis and strep (yeah - isn't that a doozy) and today I was able to eat some food! Granted - loved the diet I was on:) But I needed something solid before I killed some one!

I forgot to add in two things in yesterday's meditation. The first was Brigit telling me that she knows I can handle what the Divine has in store of me as I have the will of two saints within. I'm like - you're kidding? Because - this is even too far stretched for me. She says no, she's not. I ask who? She smiles. I know that means I have to figure it out on my own. Boy - talk about pressure.

Next was the great healing light Bill sent into my body. This is the 1st time - that I can remember - that he purposely sent me light. It was nice. For a short time I did feel so much better!

I'm heading out to CA in mid Sept to have a meeting about my gypsy script - I'll let you know how it goes:) Fingers crossed! I'm going to do a few other things while I'm out there - I'll let you know after things transpire:)

I decided that I'm tired of absorbing other people's energies and getting sick. I've had enough. So I added two more flower essences to my daily intake. I know I shouldn't do more than 4 (it's now 6) so I consider myself an experiment. The two for negativity are:

Pink Yarrow - for sensitivity to negative emotional influences; "psychic sponge" type

Yarrow - vulnerability to negative influences, especially of mental or psychic nature; needing a protective psychic shield

I think that I'm good to go now:)

Off to get some work done!

Until tomorrow...
