Wednesday's Words for October 31, 2012

I don’t think I have any words that would be adequate to this situation so many are in. My heart breaks for all the people caught these past few days in the fury of Mother Nature.

It’s a somber reminder to us all that as powerful as we believe humanity to be, as strong a force as we are upon this earth with our weapons and our technology and such, there is another force far greater that will always prevail, and we really are powerless against it.

The reach of these storms was vast, record-breaking, and wreaking havoc not only in the United States, but Canada as well. This storm was a killer before it combined with the cold front to become something other. It continued to claim lives in both our countries, and in the aftermath we can only stare, wide-eyed and in shock at the devastation left behind.

One thing I have learned in my life is that there always seems to be some new, “worst thing” to come upon us. Bad stuff happens, and it happens to us all. It doesn’t matter if we’re black or white, Canadian or American; it doesn’t ask our religion or our sexual or political preferences. When disaster strikes it goes after us all with an equally ruthless hand.

From what I’ve seen, as I watch the extensive news coverage, and what has become of New Jersey and New York, I don’t know how anyone can recover in anytime less than a year.

The death toll may rise, and the storm wasn’t, as of Tuesday night, even over. It’s projected to sweep back toward the east, trek across upper New York State, and hit our eastern provinces, what we here in Canada refer to as The Maritimes. Monday night in Toronto, a woman was killed when a large sign was blown apart by the incredibly strong winds.

I do, however, see something else as I watch all the coverage of this event, and it’s definitely something worth mentioning. I see Americans working together, to help their neighbors. I see people reaching out, lending a hand, regardless of whatever differences there may be between them.

That is one of the things that, to me, makes America such a great country. Her people don’t turn their backs on each other. They don’t cast their eyes about and say, “well, that’s got to be someone else’s problem”; they just roll up their sleeves and get to work.

I see co-operation between elected officials of both parties. At this time, and under these circumstances, they aren’t democrats or republicans. They’re simply Americans who have been elected to take care of their people, and they’re doing just that: putting the needs of their people ahead of any other consideration. In other words, they are doing that which is right.

Adding insult to injury, the temperatures were supposed to drop Tuesday night in some areas, and for those without electricity, staying warm would be a challenge.

There’s another edge to this tragedy, beyond the physical. It’s hard to lose everything you own, to have to look around you and realize that everything is gone. We’re used, most of us, to getting by from day to day; we work, we save, and we do what we can to plan for the future. The sun comes up and goes down, and in the course of our lives we’re presented with challenges. We win some and lose some, but we keep motoring on.

And then we face a disaster, a real disaster, and the enormity of that loss—when everything is gone, when everything that was normal changes—that is something that is really tough to handle.

I’ve mentioned to you before that we’ve been through that twice ourselves, as we’ve lost not one but two homes to fire.

It is the battered spirits of the victims of Sandy that I pray for most; for when our spirits are bolstered, when we feel the strength of the prayers of others, then we can take those first, hesitant and shaky steps toward recovery.

Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #217



Before my next thought occurs, I find myself inside a strange but beautiful room, one that reminds me of a temple.

"Do not fear, my Sh’raka. We are safe." Dhuroth takes my hand. "Let me show you where to bathe."

I look around, seeking Jharx. "Where is he?"


"He is attending to other matters vital to our meeting." My lion man leads me toward a moon arch that looks like it was constructed out of mother of pearl. "We will see him soon."

"Oh..." Around me is serenity and beauty, all in lustrous shades of white. I see a shallow pool with cascading water that looks like a small waterfall.

Suddenly seized by a scene forming before my mind's eyes, I halt. Floods, destruction on a massive scale, unbearable suffering plays out like a big-screen movie. "Oh, no."

"What do you see, Sh'raka?" Dhuroth asks gently.

As the scene fades, I explain my vision as I can. Tears form and drip on my cheeks.

"It's real... isn't it?" I ask.

"It is a possible reality, my beloved."

TO BE CONTINUED...

~~~~~~

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

This week, Warring Clashes between the Dragon of Good and the dragon of evil will take over the entirety of the planet. Meanwhile, the golden radiance of the Divine Awakening becomes a superstorm saturating humanity and Mother Earth.

Now it arrives ~ The Full Frontal Attack Against GOODNESS. This will be against anyone of good heart and soul -- against anyone and everyone who regularly helps others, and performs GOOD deeds in the community.

To overcome, beware of these anti-humans. Prepare to take them on by using wisdom and smarts. Then take care by standing together against any kind of unjust assault.

For, it is the good in all of us, and the good caring acts we do that will eventually end these Orwellian times.

On the personal front, the challenges are likely to mount up this week. Riding out the storm of events, no matter what they are, is the key. In the midst of the dark storm there will be a surprise, or an opportunity, of sheer and magnificent beauty -- the very stuff dreams are made out of. Grab hold.

This week is also about invoking your inner goddess and god, or your divine self, to gain full strength for the difficult times ahead. THEY, the bankster gangster minions, are coming to plunder whatever remains of the wealth you have accumulated for you and your loved ones.

Look for strategies outside the box to fool these crooks, and keep what you have. It's past time to outwit the cabal of international bankers, these psychopaths who would ruin us all.

Also, this week, romance is heavily in the air. Connect from the heart with someone special -- that someone who lights you up, and fires all of your jets.

On the AWAKENING front, Singing to Bring in the Aquarian Age ~ the frequency of the human voice in song, is one key to overcoming the current darkness, and bringing about a golden age. For, the power of singing and music, both individually and in groups, is one magickal tool of the new age. Know that this means EVERYONE SINGING, not only those with 'good' voices.

On the paranormal front, Halloween 2012 is a high spiritual opportunity for those who are awake and aware. A sacred door opens inside all of us at this magickal time of Samhain.

This magick within us, will be greatly enhanced as Earth vibrationally touches the majestic, pulsing heart of our galaxy. The time is here to take advantage of knowing yourself at this level. The time is here to 'catapult into the consciousness' of rebirth and ascension.

As well, from a prior forecast: "...project Blue Beam is back on the drawing board, which is a plan to use a fake alien attack as a way to control 'the people' and bring in a one world government. However, this IS NOT an absolute." UPDATE: a subtler use of 'Aliens' to frighten the people is being brought forth using the news media, big entertainment media, and a cadre of dis-info agents. 


On the economic front, a crazy mishmash of events will be happening, all designed to stall a total collapse, and keep the dollar afloat for now. As well, the banks will continue to deny large withdrawals of cash, while making all sorts of excuses that, in essence, make no sense -- if logical thought is used.

Meanwhile, significant gains are being made in the emerging world of trade and barter. Of course, the corp-gov will make every effort to shut down those who are most successful. However, the more communities come together and buy/trade with each other, the faster a 'real' recovery will happen for ALL.

Of significance also, the coming superstorms, land changes, and the war fronts all over the world, are being used to 'hide' the seriousness of the Currency Wars that now rage between many nations.

Also, from the previous forecast: During the next three months, more of the bankster gangsters will be exposed for what they are, remorseless serial killers of society, of all that is GOOD. In the coming weeks, more of the people will realize it's either 'renaissance or ruin'.

On the truth front, the dragon of truth spirals around the dragon of deceit crushing, destroying -- seeking the final victory. Know there will be several TRUTHS revealed this week, truths that will shake humanity to its core.

For, *Real* history returns to haunt humanity during these end/beginning times. The lies told for age upon age crumble, soon to become dust in the wind. Watch for it, and embrace what resonates with you.

However, the 'revelations' of this week, and the ones forthcoming, will be countered with an onslaught of lies, and every attempt will be made to bury most of them again.

Out of this ongoing battle between Good and evil, humanity will likely become more schizophrenic and divided. It will be the establishment zombies versus the renaissance renegades.

On the war front, the dark-siders fan the flames of war, and brutal conflict spreads like a fast-growing cancer across the planet. Also, the threatened use of nuclear weapons -- already in use on a small scale -- will be ramped up to scare the people, and keep them in a non-ending state of fear.

For, the soulless ones believe this will bring about mindless obedience. It won't.
For the next ten days, there will be several major moves on the grand chessboard of war, with Russia taking the lead on the world stage.

On the home front, currently a *purge* of the GOOD US military men and women -- occurring for a long time now -- is accelerating. Therefore, troops who will fight Americans are replacing them.

As well, with the demonization of veterans taking place, if you know any good-hearted veterans, now is the time to bring them into your 'circle' of friends and acquaintances. For, likely their knowledge and assistance will make the difference in the future, your future.

On the food front, as GM/GMO frankenfoods are exposed, the great rejection by the people begins. More and more, boycotts against BIG AGRA and the BIG FOOD companies will take hold, sweeping across the country.

Growing and buying local will become the norm. Thus, food co-ops and small mom and pop businesses like specialty bakeries, are the new economic opportunities.

On the land changes front, volcanic activity goes quantum during the next several months. The ocean heats up in key areas, in part, because of underwater volcanoes, and giant flows of magma.

More superstorms will batter the coastlines across the world, and earthquakes increase significantly. Two more large quakes are due within the next three weeks. And the Louisiana sinkhole continues to expand, threatening the New Orleans area.

Angels Aren't Playing This HAARP ~ From last week's forecast: "And currently, there are indications that the HAARP array in Alaska is targeting the eastern half of the US." FOLLOW UP: In a later report, the highest ever recorded levels of energy from the Alaska array, were centered around two eastern states.

On the energy front, as always a complicated picture of bad versus GOOD. If you have knowledge about how to reconfigure a car engine's computer so it can be run on water, please spread that knowledge underground as fast as possible.

On the really bad news front, FEMA's Zombie Apocalypse is here, and ratcheting up fast. On top of this, the corp-gov's Catch 22 scenario will now be used against the people.

If you don't prepare you'll be blamed, and any FEMA assistance will be at a high price, or will be denied. If you do dare to prepare, you will be considered a prepper, and extreme preppers are now designated to be 'terrorists' by the military. Good sacred luck to one and all.

Remember: Practices, such as storing and preserving food, were normally done by our ancestors as the way to survive. After all, big box stores didn't exist, and might not be accessible in the future -- for example during a major winter storm.

On the good news front, the people are wising up, and taking action to protect themselves and their loved ones. Never underestimate the will and the power of the people at this point in history. It is the stuff of MIRACLES.

On the freedom front, now comes the accelerated use of propaganda to denigrate and demonize many social groups. However, the love of liberty will unite a lot of us, despite this endless media brainwashing.

As freedom soars like the phoenix within the soul of humanity, many of the people will realize now is the time to exercise their rights, or lose them forever.

Trendwise, now comes the rise of the Sheriff's posse. In many areas, these white-hats will become the protectors of the people. This is a movement that will not and cannot be stopped.

As well, even with the winter season upon us, mass migration from the major cities begins. This will happen because of ongoing catastrophes, and the new horror of looting, brought about by the collapsing economy.

Meanwhile, Heaven on Earth will be the mystical and magical goal of THOSE who love humanity and the Mother Earth.

This week, heart energy, LOVE, is the sweet currency that will serve you best.

A NEW captive romance: Paris Bites

I am so very happy this morning. I can barely contain my enthusiasm! Paris Bites is up for pre-order at Bookstrand this morning and it's 15% off if you want to pick up your copy by the way. lol

Paris Bites was one of the very few books of my heart. It took me over two years to finish and part of this was due to technical problems. I lost a big chunk of it on my fried hard drive. Grrrr...It was heartbreaking and I didn't have the heart to go back and rewrite it again but the characters kept speaking to me and really wanted to get out into the world so this summer I did finally go back and rewrite their ending and finish the book. It ended up a full length novel and I am so very happy and proud to be able to share it with you now.

I loved my tour of Europe and found the crypts fascinating and much of this book takes place below the city within the catacombs. It was just so much fun to write and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

Wednesday's Words for October 24, 2012

A not so funny thing happened last week on the day that I was to drive my beloved and our daughter to the airport, so they could begin their vacation.

There was a meeting on a country road between my pretty red 2005 Buick Allure and a deer. Now, this was a sudden and unavoidable collision. No one was hurt—well, no humans were hurt. The air bags didn’t even deploy inside the car.

The deer, unfortunately, wasn’t as lucky.

There were no clunks, grinds, or any other noises as the car traveled from the site of the impact to home. It was not yet full dawn, but there was enough light to see the results of this meeting. The vehicle was a mess, and I posted a picture of it on Face Book.

This didn’t really interfere with our plans for the day. I was still able to take Mr Ashbury and Jenny to the airport; we used her car, and I would have her vehicle at my disposal for week they were gone.

I figured, that most likely, by the time I contacted my insurance company and took care of all the paperwork and reporting, the car would be repaired and back, if not in time for me to drive to the airport again, then certainly by the next Monday.

Well, that didn’t turn out to be the case at all.

The damage to my car (that I’d had for not quite two full years) was sufficient for the insurance company to deem it a total loss.

Here is where you learn one more embarrassing fact about me. I kind of get attached to my stuff. I used to think I was a packrat until that reality show last year that I never completely watched, but saw enough of to wipe my brow in relief. But I do get emotionally attached to my things, and I sometimes even name them.

I liked my car. It was a Buick. It was mine. It was paid for. I wasn’t ready to part with it, and I really didn’t want to consider getting another vehicle at this time.

One thing I have learned, however, is that sometimes what we would prefer in life has absolutely no relationship whatsoever to what we actually get, or have to deal with.

This was one of those times.

Mr. Ashbury was away, but that didn’t really change the situation. Years of finding our rhythm together has resulted in our behaving for the most part in very predictable ways. Yes, I was ticked about the car being written off. But how I felt about it didn’t change the reality of it. I had to deal with the matter.

We’ve both long ago realized that you can reduce the stress of unpleasant, unexpected problems by focusing on finding a solution, instead of lamenting your bad luck.

Moments after that call from the insurance company telling me they were giving me a pittance for my car, I went on line and began the task of looking for another vehicle.

 I like Buicks. The ’92 Buick I had before this last one, when it died, had more than 390,000 miles on it—or, in Canadian, 650,000 kilometers. Yep, that’s a lot, and a marvel, and sold me forever on the Buick.

Now, I’ve been pretty fortunate the last couple of times that I had to get a car. The right one revealed itself to me fairly quickly. Actually, the last one Mr. Ashbury found, while I was away at a conference.

We don’t buy new cars. We’re just not convinced in the value of them—that’s just us, and at least we feel the same way on the matter. So I was perusing the Internet for a “pre-owned” vehicle.

And this one I found, while my beloved, unawares, was sunning on the beach. My new Buick is a 2009, and fully loaded, including leather seats, a moon roof, and a digital display of information that’s going to take me a while to master.

I haven’t named it yet—but I probably will.

Love,
Morgan

Already Shopping for Christmas?

Are you shopping for a few readers in the family? Consider adding Cowboys for Christmas to your holiday shopping list.

Cowboys for Christmas (MFM)


Quinn gave Julie his undivided attention. She arched a brow and studied her cards. Undoubtedly, she wanted this win. A win would put her at ten.

As much as he’d like to see Julie victorious, in this particular situation, Quinn was cheering for Brandon. With Brandon, they were guaranteed a good time.

Winner’s choice. Quinn could almost see her rocking back and forth between them.


“Quinn?” Brandon asked, snapping his fingers. “Are you still with us?”

“Yeah, why?”


“I said, ‘what do you think winner’s choice should be’ and you’re over there zoned out. Guess I’m on my own, huh?”


“Like hell,” Quinn said, looking at the table. “Who won?”


Brandon snickered, turned up his cards, and said, “With a straight flush, I’m betting on me.”


Julie cleared her throat. “That is a pretty hand.”


Brandon chuckled. “Yes indeed.”


Julie studied her cards again, delaying the outcome and congratulations due the probable champion. “You cheated, didn’t you?”

Quinn held his breath. Brandon was a poker player through and through. When he won, he won fair and square.

“Turn ’em up,” Brandon said, obviously agitated.


Reluctantly, she flipped her wrist and showed her straight. “I was hoping for winner’s choice.”

Brandon gathered the cards and stacked them in the middle of the flat surface. Then he backed away from the table, retrieved three tumblers, and poured a round of blueberry shine. “Let me guess, you would’ve asked for a backrub?”

“How’d you know?”

“I know women.”
“I bet you do.”

“He can vouch for me,” Brandon said, pointing to Quinn.

“No doubt,” Quinn supported him, unable to look at Julie. Sensing her disappointing defeat, he finally asked, “How far are you willing to go?”

She gulped.

"That far, huh?” Brandon teased her.

“You’ll never know unless you ask,” Julie said, standing.

Quinn’s pulse took off at a running go. Julie just said the right thing to two horny men.

Brandon tossed back his fruity liquor. Quinn followed his lead, and Julie was right behind them. Brandon cleared his throat, and Quinn prayed Brandon found the voice he’d apparently lost.

A few seconds passed, and no one moved a muscle. When the tension became thick enough to choke them, Brandon bravely broke the silence.
“Well, Julie, I’m asking.” His gaze caught hers, and with a wicked smile, he added, “Honey, in fact, I’m not just making a polite request. I’m groveling like a man in heat. What’d ya say we get naked?”

Angelic Forecast ~ #216

Jharx stroked my hand with his tail. 'I have been sent by those who wish to protect humanity. They wish to meet with you as the mate of my friend, Dhuroth.'

"On the moon?" I ask.


'No.' Jharx tilts his head back and gives me a lion smile. 'The meeting would take place aboard the ship I arrived in.'

"In orbit? Or landed on Mars?" I ask what I think is obvious.

There is no answer. Puzzled I look toward Dhuroth.

"Why don't we bathe, then enjoy a leisurely breakfast, my beloved woman?"

How can I refuse an offer like that?

"Sounds lovely."

Before my next thought occurs, I find myself inside a strange but beautiful room, one that reminds me of a temple.

"Do not fear, my Sh’raka. We are safe." Dhuroth takes my hand. "Let me show you where to bathe."

I look around, seeking Jharx. "Where is he?"

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

The Theme for this week ~ The Masks Are Ripped Away and the Empire of Lies Falls

Meanwhile the Dragon of Truth rips through the dragon of evil, each fang and claw a light blade exposing the black hole that has been sucking humanity into the abyss-matrix.

From a previous forecast: "the masks are falling away. Those who have been considered 'above the rest of us' in intelligence and ability, and the so-called leaders of the corp-gov, will now experience a fall from grace. For, this grace was merely manufactured propaganda, and 'the people' now AWAKEN."

On the personal front, the next two weeks are focused on the individual. While keeping one eye on the world stage, place most of your focus on you. That is, your needs and desires. For, only by keeping yourself as healthy, wealthy, and wise as possible will you be able to effectively take care of yourself, and those you love in these upcoming times.

Breathe in the oxygen of life. Connect with Nature. Connect with the Heavens, the sky above. Out of this, you will be empowered in new ways that serve you.

On the paranormal front, with the transition in time -- that is, TIME itself now changes -- there will gradually be a different rhythm to life. Also, out of this, intuition soars like the boldest eagle, as do our psi abilities.

This vibrational time-shift will bring us closer to a spiritual understanding of the universe, as opposed to the material and mechanistic limitation that has been. As a result, more doors open to the wide, wide world of supernatural beings, and the ether energy realms.

As well, now the Magickal Ones arise full force, from every shamanic genetic lineage, from every ancient heritage across the world. You will know them by their unique radiance, and by their deeds -- both spectacular and quietly done behind the scenes.

It is time to welcome the magick of this new age. For 'the force' will embrace you.

On the economic front, a tricky dicky picture as usual this week. However, too big to fail has failed *by design to bring down America* and panic now sets in with the Wall Street crowd.

Before the election, expect temporary stops and starts on the financial scene, as the stock market and the economy continues to fall like a gigantic boulder down the side of a sky-scraping, craggy mountain.

Around the corner, likely there will be a spectacular BIG BANK fail. In reality, failure after failure has already occurred -- this is one reason QE Infinity has been cruelly forced on all of us, by the cabal of international bankers.

Of course, the massive severity of these 'bank fails' is being hidden from the public, all while anything of value is being vampire-sucked out of 'the people'.  Prepare to say 'goodbye' to your savings/pension funds in the near future -- if you haven't converted it to tangible/usable assets.

During the next three monts, more of the bankster gangsters will be exposed for what they are, remorseless serial killers of society, of all that is GOOD. In the coming weeks, more of the people will realize it's either 'renaissance or ruin'.

On the truth front, as heavy 'truths' flood the consciousness of humankind, renegade activists from all walks of life will join together to take down the establishment -- the prison planet that has been setup by the soulless ones for ages now.

On the war front, now comes the darkness of worldwide conflict. The psychopathic Controllers will thicken the smokescreen of war. So many of their 'rape, pillage, and plunder' crimes against humanity are being discovered and revealed, they will use the horrors of war to shield themselves.

Also, ongoing war not only keeps 'the people' divided and conquered, it fills the new world order's coffers. Plus, the best and brightest are eliminated -- or THOSE in humanity who would stand against them are no longer a problem.

On the AWAKENING front, the cosmic energies of 2012 pound down like a golden and diamond thunderstorm. The Ascension of humanity is here.

Now, as never before, a synergistic weave of harmonic energies forms between ALL of us. We are creating connections, or what was termed the Aquarian Conspiracy -- a book written by Marilyn Ferguson.

From a prior forecast: "Also of importance this week, is your personal growth. For several decades now, the divine energies have encouraged the maxim, know thyself. The tide turns at this point in history. Personal growth will be about utilizing your knowledge of yourself in such a way that it benefits the ascension of humankind.

This is because the fourth dimension is here, and the bells of freedom are ringing loudly."

On the home front, as more of us realize there are very few places to run in these Orwellian times -- as passports become harder to get *the plan revealed in a recent article*, and the borders of Amerika are 'effectively' closed against many of us -- we 'the people' will finally understand we need to 'run toward' each other.

On the food front, once again, the land, Mother Earth, is calling out to her human sisters and brothers. For, SHE no longer wants factory farms or Big Agra relentlessly poisoning her. She desires that her human family live and work upon her lands in harmony with her animals and plants. She wants to give her bounty to those who nurture and care for the animals they raise and the food crops they grow.

Remember, at this time, it is more important than ever to support your local gardeners, farmers, and ranchers in whatever way you are able.

On the land changes front, earthquakes, volcanoes, superstorms, and the exploding sun, oh my! Also, the sea floor is rising dramatically in some key areas of the planet. This 'could' eventually flood coastlines.

Meanwhile, scientists studying earth changes and astronomical phenomena worldwide, are mysteriously dying. And currently, there are indications that the HAARP array in Alaska is targeting the eastern half of the US.

On the energy front, the knowledge that 'alcohol can be a gas' will become widespread, once prices at the pump become prohibitive. Already, the enterprising among us are preparing to produce and sell alcohol to fuel vehicles, and for other energy uses. This will be done mostly on the black market.

On the really bad news front, at this point in time there are 'two' huge false flag events planned. One on the soil of the US, and the other in Europe. However, both situations are still fluid. A small group of the White Hats are working to stop both events, or reduce their terrible damage.

On the good news front, people are banding together to protect each other from the bankster gangsters who are wrongly foreclosing on houses, farms, and property. This trend of protecting each other will continue, and strengthen significantly.

Since the current banking system is built on NOTHING but fraud, monopoly money, and cyber play money, in moral truth THEY own nothing. Also, since THEY are stealing homes that have been 'fully paid' for, it is time for the people to say *no more*.

On the freedom front, this is a highly complex picture at this point in history.  However, the Great Divide widens between those who will succumb to jackboot tyranny and those who will not. Also, look for 'anything' related to the idea of  freedom, to be constantly demonized by the presstitute media -- including the constitution.

Trendwise, Hollywood is fast becoming 'Hollowood' for many at this time. Boredom with BIG MEDIA entertainment grows rapidly in the days to come, while the 'creator' in each one of us is loosed to freely express the 'garden of beauty' that is our soul.

On the far horizon of trends, many of us will return to using symbols, like hieroglyphics, as another way to communicate, instead of only using language and the written word.

Also, this good trend continues, as stated before: "Of course, LOVE is always the sweet cosmic glue, the binding force between all of us human beings. Keep in mind, at this time, 'The Good, Good Vibrations Bombardment'... direct from the angelic realms... is continuing full force. Welcome these loving vibrations." 

This week, let your mind and body be a temple to the Earth and sky, and to the Divine.

Wednesday's Words for October 17, 2012

As you read this, Mr. Ashbury and our daughter are lounging on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean. Ah, the sand, the surf, the sun.

The joy of having the house to myself, more or less, for an entire week!

Now, I don’t want you to think for one moment that I don’t miss the old dear. Of course, I do. However we have been married an awfully long time. Not as long as some, but much longer than others. And a little time apart is not a bad thing at all.

We’ve never lived in each other’s pockets. And as a matter of fact, our first experiment with the concept of “separate vacations” happened many years ago, when we were still butt-deep in the raising of our three kids.

Mind you, that first “mini” solo vacation was in the form of separate weekends enjoyed at a downtown Toronto hotel.

As I recall, mine was spent swimming in the pool, indulging in a solo restaurant meal or two, and sleeping. I did a lot of sleeping. The weekend was memorable for me, because it was an entire weekend of not taking care of others.

This is the second time my beloved has taken our daughter on a vacation to the tropics. As you can imagine, it’s not easy for a single mother to manage to afford something like a one week resort stay—although they’re not as expensive as they used to be. In this instance, however, our motivation was different than just giving her a break.

Since May, Jennifer has taken her daddy to work nearly every single morning. I no longer routinely have to awaken at 5 am to drive a 50 mile round trip.

I didn’t mind the driving, per se. It was the part that had me rolling out of bed so early that was beating me up. After taking my beloved to work, I’d then have to come home and go back to bed for at least an hour and a half. On mornings when I had the children to get up and get ready for school, that return to bed often didn’t happen until after 9 am.

This, of course, meant I wasn’t out of bed and at work until 11 or later. Then I’d have to leave the house again at 3:30 in the afternoon to pick him up from work—usually just as I was really getting into my story.

A lot of days, Jenny also makes that return trip in the afternoon to bring her daddy home. That’s 100 miles a day all told—and more than 2 hours of my time each day—that I’ve gotten back.

Jenny and her father really are two peas in a pod. She has just as much redneck in her as he does. They spend a lot of time together, and I’m very grateful their relationship is so strong. We’ve not been in communication since they left, but I know they’re having a very good time together, and I don’t have to worry as they will, very likely, keep each other out of trouble.

Or, conversely, they’ll share whatever trouble they tumble into.

I’m just as happy to stay home and get some writing done—interspersed with just enough housework to keep the place functioning. Yes, I know I sound boring to those of you who aren’t writers. You’re likely thinking, “but don’t you do that anyway?”

The answer of course is yes, I do. Vacation for me isn’t the same as vacation for the non-writer. Vacation for me is writing, as always, only in a different locale.

My favorite for this year of 2012 took place in February when we were in Freeport, in the Bahamas. I had a cabana all to myself, the ocean breezes cooling my brow, the view of the pool and the ocean before me, and my very favorite thing: the sensation of the keyboard at the end of my finger tips. The words flowed and I very happily kept up.

My beloved enjoys the ocean, and the sun, and the possibility, however remote, that he might encounter the hint of a hurricane—since it is still the season.

Two very different definitions of heaven—which is what vacation, by anyone’s measure, is supposed to be all about.

Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #215



'Those who betray humanity with their secrecy. They assist those who came before and built many marvels.'

"The pyramids," I utter.

'Before the time of megalithic stone structures. Their legacy is mostly contained in the continent called Antarctica.'

Again, I meet Jharx's gold-splintered eyes, and see an age old wisdom.


"Antarctica." I summon the unanswered questions about all the mysteries swirling around the south pole, including a Nazi base.

"The moon," I whisper. "Nothing is as it seems."

Jharx brushes his tail tassel on my arm, a lovely sensation. 'The satellite known as the moon is being prepared, and more heavily populated.'

I sigh. Tingles that feel like splinters move through my middle. "By friends of humanity, or enemies?"

"Both," my lion man answers, and seat himself close to me.

Jharx stroked my hand with his tail. 'I have been sent by those who wish to protect humanity. They wish to meet with you as the mate of my friend, Dhuroth."

"On the moon?" I ask.

TO BE CONTINUED...

~~~~~~

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

The Implosion, Explosion ~ the end of the Age is here. Land changes, societal changes... a world gone both mad and sane, as the new world rises fueled by the power of the Awakening.

On the truth front, the invincible Dragon of Truth rises on wildfire wings, and spares no one of corrupt heart and soul. 'Those' who fabricate and lie, who deceive and manipulate for the purpose of doing great harm, will burn in the flames of their own evil acts.

These 'corrupt ones' will also find themselves blurting out the truth for the sake of the people. During this time, the cosmic frequencies are creating the impulse to reveal the TRUTH, no matter the consequences.

On the personal front, listen for this 'truth', listen for your inner truth, then take action to take care of yourself and those you love. This week is, once again, about organizing your household. Preparing for the winter months is more important than ever, regardless of how the future plays out.

It is also crucial to remain AWARE of what is going on around you this week. Whether at home, or out and about, stay alert.

This is also a great time to find bargains for whatever it is you need, and want to stock up on. Consider too, creative uses for whatever you have, or can find at a good price. This will only help you as the year comes to its climactic end.

On the AWAKENING front, the time has come to use your creativity at a higher level. This will not only assist you, but everyone else, in overcoming the relentless social manipulation of the soulless ones.

For, the uplifting desire for art and beauty can never be totally suppressed, or completely twisted toward the dark side, despite the ongoing attempts made by the evil-side social engineers, who are in control of the BIG MEDIA companies.

Hollywood is run on corp-gov welfare, for the most part. This 'dirty little secret' means your tax dollars, your consumer dollars, and the endless supply of monopoly money, is paying for a carefully-crafted propaganda machine -- NOT true creativity. Sadly.

On the paranormal front, behind the scenes, FACTIONS of what is known as Earth's breakaway civilization *THOSE who travel the solar system and use 'real' stargates* are engaged in a war for control of the planet and humanity's future. And 'they' aren't the only groups battling to own our world.

At this point in time, there will be a few from this 'breakaway civilization' who come forth in various guises to speak directly to the public. Out of compassion, they want to offer a glimpse of what is really occurring -- all courtesy of the 'mad scientist' military industrial complex.

And, not to forget the ramping-up Halloween vibes, as stated in last week's forecast: "with Samhain on the proverbial doorstep, all things spooky, supernaturally strange, and paranormal-wonderful will emerge as never before in known history. Beware, take care, and turn the tables with your own boo-scare, if needed."

On the economic front, Monopoly Money is King ... or is that Cyber Play Money? In these horrific financial times for many -- IT'S CALLED A 'DEPRESSION' --  money *really a fiat currency* and now cyber play money *all those zeroes added electronically*, is being is whipped up out of thin air by the bankster gangster crowd.

Meanwhile, the people are told this 'monopoly money' becomes their backbreaking debt. Meanwhile, the global dark elite is buying up everything worth buying... huge tracts of land, water rights, luxury goods, art, heirloom seeds, gold, silver, rare earth minerals... anything tangible and of REAL VALUE. All with fake money. All with fake cyber dollars.

This includes most everyone's mortgage in America -- mortgages which are currently at the mercy of the unholy mess known as the derivatives market. Thus, using their made-up monopoly money, the corp-gov creeps now believe THEY own your house/property.

Also, by design the American dollar is on its death bed, and will likely NOT be taken off life support -- at least, as the future stands now. What has been known as the 'petrol dollar' is being usurped as the reserve currency. Other nations are now trading in their own currencies for oil, and other goods.

Out of this massive economic betrayal, the new underground economy continues to grow, and many of the people will rebel in creative ways.

On the war front, to no one's surprise the proxy wars in the Mideast heat up in terrible ways, and it is the innocent who pay with their lives. At this time, there are so many prayers from the people, to bring about peace, that it is mitigating some of the 'false flag' attacks and the beyond-cruel strife taking place.

As before, the push-pull continues between THOSE in the new world order mafia who want to initiate WWIII as an all-out global war, and the faction who does not. Because of this, the waters remain muddy about actual events.

However, this week Russia will play a key role on the world stage. Meanwhile, China lurks in the background like a stalking tiger, waiting for its prey to weaken. All the while, the White Hat super soldiers, as well as off-world groups called the Beneficent Ones, intervene in strategic ways to keep the blazes of war contained.

On the home front, with the hype-promotion of race riots and class warfare, the psychopathic Controllers intend to bring in hard martial law, once major cities go up in flames. These false-flag-provoked race wars are also being used to influence the presidential election.

This strategy could easily backfire if 'the people' stand with each other against this diabolical manipulation. For, now more than ever, the human race must join together, or be picked off by the zombified minions of the bad-cabal-guys.

After all, the last thing the SYSTEM wants is all of us banding together, and helping each other out. Also, in opposition, many now become renegade leaders for freedom.

On the food front, now the GUARDIANS ARISE -- 'those' who have incarnated on Earth at this time to save the seeds, save the animals, and save the lands. It is also their mission to help protect Mother Earth from the dark powers that be.

From this point forward, anything you do to assist these GUARDIANS will be a sacred act, and to the benefit of us ALL.

With winter around the corner, remember to stock up your larders big-time. Purchase as much good food as you can manage. Also, if you can grow herbs and veggies indoors, do it.

On the land changes front, an *explosion, implosion* of weather across the globe. Volcanic ash levels in the atmosphere will become significant during the next three months.

Likely strong earthquakes will keep rocking the planet, and tectonic plates will continue to shift dramatically. These events will be under-reported unless the loss of life is catastrophic.

While the caldera in Yellowstone will not erupt, it is active, and will now become more dangerous to the immediate area.

On the energy front, as is usual for the season, severe storms could knock out power for large sections of the population -- especially on the east coast. Do everything to prepare, prepare, prepare.

There is also an event of some type that 'could' knock out power for a significant time on the west coast, within the next three months.

On the really bad news front, the biggest drug pusher on the global block, BIG PHARMA, uses its sinister power to force flu shots and vaccines on the people. Before getting any shot, it is 'wise' to READ THE INSERT, since outright lies are being told that there are no harmful side affects.

As well, BIG PHARMA, is pushing drugs on 'the children' like never before with the falsehood that 'drugs' will increase their ability to learn. In reality, these drugs can shrink the brain, and cause permanent damage. Again, it is wise to investigate the side affects first, and look for kinder methods to assist in learning.

Remember, the FDA has become 'married' to their sugar daddy, BIG PHARMA, and will not be watching out for your welfare.

On the good news front, being creative in any way at all, is one of our salvations in overcoming the dark-side elite. For, we have the power to reclaim the paradise that Mother Earth is, and to reclaim our ability to 'live the renaissance'.

On the freedom front, as stated in a prior forecast: "Worldwide, protests and riots will continue, and will only worsen. Communities will break away, and form their own economy. All while the brain-drain media minimizes and continues the massive coverup of the REAL CRIMES perpetrated every minute against humanity by the bankster gangsters."

Trendwise, the heart rules, and romance blooms in new and wonderful ways from this point forward.

For the next month, fascism at its finest rears its ugly head, and rises worldwide. In opposition, liberty becomes the battle cry heard round the world.

In summary, as stated in a previous forecast: "One of their primary 'divide and conquer' weapons against us *the people*,  will be fostering race wars and class wars worldwide. These 'soulless ones' will attempt to light these 'wars' like bush fires in order to loose a firestorm of horror and chaos planet-wide. For, THEY must complete their evil endgame by the end of 2012 -- so they believe.

To this endgame, draconian measures against humanity will escalate. At the same time, LOVE and FREEDOM will soar on the wings of the angels lifting everyone toward a greater destiny. This destiny belongs to you. Grab hold and don't let go."

This week, dancing, music, and theater, is the perfect food for the soul.

Wednesday's Words for October 10, 2012

The Ashbury’s have a mouse in the house.

All right, in the interests of full disclosure, I suppose I should say that the Ashbury’s have several mice in the house.

The problem is starting to drive me batty.

You will recall that in the past, we had two kitties who, more or less and for better or worse, liked to hunt. Every now and then, they would catch the odd mouse in the house, and take it outside. Once in a while, they would catch something outside, and bring it into the house.

That was life and it had a natural kind of rhythm to it. But alas, those two great hunter-kitties have gone to the hunting grounds in the sky, and we are left with our “Spooky kitty”.

This is the kitty that moved in last August while Mr. Ashbury and I were on vacation. She has adopted us and has graciously allowed us to remain here in this house.

She lets the mice stay, too, although that really is no fault of her own.

You see, Spooky kitty came to us with no front claws. Yes, someone had her declawed—and then tossed her out to make her way in the world, when she couldn’t really even defend herself. This is why God sent her to us. He knew we would take her.

But I digress.

We have mice in the house. Apparently, our Spooky kitty scores very low on the threat-o-meter, as far as the mice are concerned. Spooky has indeed caught a couple of mice. But these mice have either escaped her completely, unscathed, or they have crawled somewhere and died—a situation that we learn of only well after the fact, and is always followed by a frantic game of “where the hell is it?”

We thought we had the problem solved a few months ago. We bought these traps—black, intricate, and hard to operate. We got two of them, and they each caught two mice. And then—nothing. As far as I could see, we seemed to have no more mice.

But they came back, apparently with reinforcements, and they completely avoided the traps.

So we bought some of the old fashioned kind of mouse traps—you know the ones I mean, the wooden ones with the springs? Nope. Someone must have told our mice what they were, because again, they avoided them.

Last weekend I drove Mr. Ashbury to our local Canadian Tire Store. Despite the name, this is a store that carries all manner of things, not just tires. It has tools, and car parts, and household items, even small appliances and mops and such.

And it carries mouse traps.

You know how they say that someone is always trying to build a better mouse-trap? Well, I’m here to tell you that person has some of Mr. Ashbury’s money.

He bought three traps, special traps. Advertised as being “humane” they are clear plastic “boxes” with a one-way swing door at one end. Inside the box is a tiny tablet made of herbs and valerian root. Said table is (allegedly) irresistible to the little rodents. They nibble and then doze off, allowing you to take the box outside, and gently transfer the sleeping rodent to the garden.

I wanted to ask how humane they were if the sleeping, defenseless little critters were then afternoon snacks to the neighborhood’s semi-feral cats, and other predators. But I didn’t, because I now understand and agree completely that these traps are indeed humane.

As of today, not a single mouse has ventured into one.

Love,
Morgan

Mickie Sherwood's BayouBabe99er IR Mainstream Romance


5 Stars Reader Rating at Barnes and Nobles


 

Louisiana's lushness is the setting for my mainstream contemporary love story, BayouBabe99er. The story takes place after the disastrous Gulf oil spill that threatens to eliminate the communities scattered along the coast. What can a forty-four year-old laid-off banker, and an oil company liaison, closer to the ages of her daughters than hers, have in common? Desire! The desire—to right a wrong—and for each other.

 

 

BayouBabe99er (2012)            
BayouBabe99er (MF)
 

Genre: Mainstream/IR Romance

Word Count: 25,980

Price: $2.99

 

Excerpt:

The rumbling sound vibrated the wooden dock behind the store. A tri-horn blasted the quiet and brought Clyde out on the run. He admired the cut of the sleek white racer with the bold red stripes. Clyde hustled his arthritic body back inside with a yell.

“Sha, come see!”

Drake, who’d changed into casual wear, jumped to the dock just as Sharlene came rushing outside. She faltered, he supposed, at what met her eyes. But she acknowledged him with a slow, sad smile. The act caused his heart to go ca-boom.

“Let’s go.”

He ushered her up the walkway by the hand and onto the deck, making introductions as they took the center aisle to the cockpit. His companion merely smiled and nodded as he brought the throttle down to reverse. Drake helped Sharlene into her life vest as the boat eased away.

Clyde saluted their departure.

Soon they cruised the open water, their bodies rocking to the motion as they cut through the waves. Drake positioned himself at Sharlene’s back. His hands held the rail on either side of her body as a deterrent to her tumbling from the jerky gyration. A fine spray misted them as they sailed along.

The constant swaying bumped Sharlene and Drake’s bodies together continuously. Passionate thoughts stayed at bay because of the serious nature of the expedition. They sped into the gray day on a mission of mercy. Drake did what he did for Sharlene, because he suspected it would do her good to escort her uncle’s pride and joy back to port. For him? Well, he drew satisfaction knowing he provided her that small bit of relief.

“There they are!” Sharlene exclaimed.

Drake saw the faint black spots dotting the surface of the water, way in the distance. He also felt the sporadic tremors she attempted to hide. The tight grip she had on the iron rail was another giveaway. “Relax, Sharlene. We have quite a while to go.”

Sharlene looked at him over her shoulder. “Thank you so much, Drake. I can’t explain it…I mean…”

“You’re welcome.” He kissed the side of her face exposed to him, continuing in a somber voice. “I think I understand.”

They rode in silence as the boat bounced and bumped over the choppy water. The minutes ticked down to seconds with the flotilla enlarging in size. The BayouBabe lurched along, pulled by a tow. Trawlers flanked her on all sides.

The captain of the speedboat slowed to maneuver a wide arc around the group, doing an observation lap. Sharlene’s posture stiffened. Drake felt her heart racing so fast the beat competed with the thundering motor. A shaky hand wiped moisture from her unbelieving eyes.

“Uncle Moot!” she screamed while scrambling to be free of Drake’s shielding embrace. He held tight. “He’s alive, Drake!”

“I see him.”

Moot stood at the wheel as big as day. Pausing from the strenuous steering job, he gestured to Sharlene by tipping the brim of his cap. The use of one hand nearly cost him control of his hobbling craft. The quick recovery brought a smile to his lips.

Sharlene escaped Drake’s hold and darted to the narrow foot ledge rimming the boat. The going was risky for the surface glistened with water. The deck shoes she wore hardly mattered for she slid a time or two before arriving safely on the forward platform. Drake closed in on her sporting a not-so-pleased look.

“You’re going to get yourself killed!”
