In my final thoughts on 2011, I am reminded of those I said good bye this past year.  Interestingly enough, there weren’t that many.  And I say that because -- in years past, the number of people I said good bye to were in the triple digits.  But 2011, the numbers dwindled down to the single numbers.  On February 7, 2011, my mother passed away .  After almost a year, I still can’t  figure out how I feel about that.   Having been estranged from her for so long, coupled with the fact that I am a medium,  it’s really difficult to decipher my feelings on her physical death.   A huge part of me, however,  is relieved that she is no longer suffering.  I don’t like seeing anyone in any kind of pain. My mother left behind a legacy of confusion.  It’s how she lived her life -- so it’s only fitting that her death would reflect the same.    The world around me actually mirrors my mother in so many ways -- too ...

The days leading up to the new year is always a time of reflection.   While this year is no different, 2011 seems to have  prompted many to really dig down deeper than ever before.   The years leading up to this present year no doubt had a great deal to do with this.   To say the very least -- it’s been a rough couple of years! While each year brings with it a renewed since of hope,  there is something about 2012 that brings an added boost to that feeling.  In truth -- 2012 carries an excitement that causes all other years to pale in comparison.     Maybe it’s all the “hoopla” surrounding this year that has us all collectively in a tizzy.    I mean, we all have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this particular year for some time now.   Waiting with baited breath to see if the so called “prophecies” are true.   Speaking of prophecies -- the Mayan calendar-- in no way, shape, fo...

I am sorry to report that in 2011 we saw an increase of “reality” TV shows.    Which is proof positive of how utterly dumbed down the majority has gotten!  As if there weren’t enough distractions  -- we are now bombarded by trashy television shows that have the audacity to call themselves “reality” TV.    And don’t even get me started on those ridiculous, badly slammed together  paranormal shows.   It has gotten so bad, I don’t even own a television any more!  Why bother?  All the good decent shows are all but disappeared.  And what shows were good and entertaining can now be found on the internet.  Or if you still have a television you can purchase them on DVD.  2011 has also seen the rise of what I like to call ...  the "Stuck on Stupid Syndrome" or S.O.S.S. for short!     Where else but on a planet taken over by the utterly stupid can you find a law that clearly pro...

In 2011, while the general public continued on with their various distractions -- Congress sneaked several bills under the wire.    One was Bill S 1867.    This is the bill that gives the military  the right to arrest and detain anyone they believe to be a threat against America.    Now I know that our politicians are sworn to uphold the Constitution and protect this nation against threats both foreign and domestic.   I get that.    But history has shown the down side of giving the military that much control.     Germany.  Russia.  China.  Korea.  Are only a few examples, both past and present, of that downside. Many are stating that folks just got all worked up over this bill.  That it doesn’t apply to “good Americans.”    And good Americans have nothing to fear.  Yea?  Interesting.    Many Austrians and Germans were told they ha...

2011 has been an interesting year of intense challenges.   Perhaps more so than in previous years. Depending on who you talk to -- it has been a year of pure hell on every level for a great number of people world wide.   Some claim 2011 as being the year to shed off the remaining residual energies of all that no longer serve.    While others see it as the beginning of the end of the world.   Speaking of the end of the world -- 2011 was allegedly the year for that.   According to evangelist Harold Camp anyways.   Yea ... well ... so much for that ... eh? Fanatics ... the world is full of fanatics!  All kinds of fanatics!  Sports and celebrities; religious and political.   While it has always been around --fanaticism (political and religious most particular) appears to be gaining steam these days.  I'm guessing it has alot to do with the whole myth surrounding 2012 that's making people more fanatical....

Why aren't we hearing more about Bill - S.1867?  Even the political (both conservative and liberal) talk shows that I listen to aren't reporting it.   Why?  Now THAT'S the proverbial $64 question!  Did I somehow just just miss the news reports?? ummm -- NO!  I don't think so!  I mean -- seriously-- What the hell?!! Below is the letter I have been sending out to all the talk show hosts.  Feel free to use it -- make it your own--add to it -- whatever you need to do ... and then SEND IT!  I have listed some of the talk show  contact information down below as well as a link for letter addressed to President Obama himself.   But don't stop there!  Contact the networks!  Contact your local television affiliates!  Newspapers!   Get the Word Out!  Twitter -- Face Book  -- Blogs -- and the other on line networking tools available!   *~*~*~*~*~*~* I'm...

  Passed: Americans can be detained without due process Bill - S.1867 www.youtube.com Excuse ME!  This IS NOT the America I know and Love!  The Country of my heart and Soul! THIS is NOT what our founding fathers had in mind! THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT FOR MY CHILDREN! Send out your Message -- Let your Voice Be Heard!   Let those in Washington Know how we feel! Don't sit on your ass and let this Nazi-like bull shit continue on! *~*~*~*~*~*~* They claim they have no money for basic necessities for the American People They claim they need to cut back on Military spending They claim they can't allow Medicaid/Medicare and Social Security to continue on They Claim there is no money for anything that is necessary for the BASIC NEEDS of the poor, the elderly, the children, and so forth BUT ... they have the funds to back this Freeze Dried Bull shit? WAKE UP AMERICA! 1984 IS HERE!

OMG!  I wrote and posted this back on December 5, 2011! I'm Reposting it today!  Because here we are!  Facing the same shit All Over AGAIN! *~*~*~*~* As many of you are already aware,  On January 1, 2012, our good ole' 100 Watt bulbs will be outlawed!  They will be considered contraband folks!  ILLEGAL!  The good old Nanny State has come through for us once again by deeming these 100 Watt  bulbs as not being good for Mother Earth!     And as one politically correct fashioneesta stated ... "they're not very pretty!"   Of Course,  everyone knows ... the government is only looking after "our welfare" by doing this!   They -- the Nanny Gov't , along with their politically correct watch dogs-- will be ordering us to use the more "fashionable"  Earth friendlier spiral version.  Real nice of them don't you think?  So what if the newer version is filled with mercury!...

So What are you thankful for? Whenever I am asked this question, the first answer that pops into my head is ... I'm  thankful for not being one of these people who walk around with their head stuck up their ass! While that answer, for some, may come across as crass -- it is my sincerest  heartfelt feelings.  And I don't make any apologies for it. It is my hope  that one day,  I can say with conviction ... I am thankful there are no more people walking around with their heads up their asses! I can dream -- can't I? I could go on and on about what I am thankful for ... but I won't.  The list is enormous and  there isn't enough room on this note to list every single thing I am thankful for.   Sufficient to say ... I am one very  thankful person.  I'll be spending the last Thursday in November helping those in need.  Paying it forward by continuing my work in doing all I can to relieve the Earth of the grue...

My daughter attends High School here in Jefferson County, Kentucky. She was placed in ISAP (Detention) for the full day due to a “dress code” violation.   She wasn’t wearing a belt. While I appreciate the importance of rules and the need to enforce them, I am appalled by the extreme disciplinary tactics in dealing with dress code infractions.   Denying a child access to her/his classes and then placing them in the same room with children with distinct and continuous  behavioral problems?  All due to not having a belt to wear? Is it me or does anyone else find this extreme?    And not only is it extreme -- but is cheating a child out of their class time and their education.  This, in my opinion, is not only a form of neglect, but an abuse of power by the faculty and staff. And I assure you, I am not alone in my opinion in this regard. My child (and a few other children as well)  missed out on her classes, deni...
