Even we hardy, snow-loving Canadians are sick of winter already. This has been the coldest and the snowiest winter in recent memory. I would have to go back and look at the official records to tell you exactly when we had it this bad, but I do know it is somewhere in the vicinity of 20 years ago. I keep recalling that winter a few years back when it was in the 50s in January and I saw one brave soul who went grocery shopping, wearing shorts.
I feel particularly bad for all my southern friends who have been hit pretty hard with the cold temperatures—and some of them even having to endure snow! Please don’t blame Canada. Apparently it’s the arctic that is sending all these deep freezing, polar vortex type temps your way.
This coming Sunday is Groundhog Day. I live in hope that the little varmint will not see his shadow and that we will get an early spring. I, myself, am blessed because I have the freedom to pretty much stay indoors. I can turn up the heat, layer on clothes, cover up with a blanket. In other words, the cold is inconvenient, but not devastating.
There was a time when it was exactly that, and I remember all the things we did to help our old drafty house stay warm. We tacked six mil plastic to the inside of nearly every window. We stuffed towels at the bottom of the front and back doors. We kept alert to the possibility of power outages. Since in those days we had a well for water with an electric pump that meant filling the bathtub with water for flushing the toilet and two large pots of water on the stove for other needs. On the occasions when the outages came without warning, we were able to melt snow in pots on our wood stove for the basic necessities.
I can remember filling mason jars with boiling water and then wrapping them in a towel and setting them in the children’s beds an hour before bedtime. I’d replace them before I went to bed, and again first thing in the morning, an hour or so before they got up. We loved rural living, but it was not without its challenges.
These days, although we have had two instances of furnace malfunction in the last couple of months, it was no real hardship. Like I said, extra layers, a couple of electric heaters and the oven on for a few minutes here and there, and we were fine. Too, once you’ve been through really tough times, for extended periods, you discover that nothing can really shake you that badly again. As I always say, sometimes bad things come our way, but they don’t come to stay, they come to pass.
Time moves too quickly as it is, so I know that before long, this winter will pass, and spring and then summer will be here. We joke now that the first person we hear complaining about how hot it is this summer is going to get a smack – but face it, we’re humans—fickle, and imperfect.
The first heat wave that hits us, we’re all going to complain about the heat. I think it’s inevitable.
There isn’t anything we can do, really, about the weather except to try and simply cope with it. We can work on keeping the best attitude possible. For those who have to work out of doors, I salute you and I know what you’re going through. My beloved drives a truck now at the quarry where he’s been employed for more than 35 years. But that is a recent development.
Not that many years ago he would be outside all day, and when the quarry was a family owned operation, and before “safety first” became a way of life, he even used to climb up 100 foot conveyor belts when they would jam with ice and snow—no matter the winds or the blowing snow at the time.
That was in the years when we lived next door to the place, and he would come home each day for a hot lunch—and clean, warmed socks waiting for him by the stove.
It’s amazing looking back at what we endured, together and separately, when we were younger. Older has its own adjustments, but it has its rewards, too.
Stay warm, keep smiling, and we’ll get through this nasty winter.
Love,
Morgan

New Release: CONVINCING ROWENA - Passion Peak, Colorado 6
I'm so pleased to announce a new release!! CONVINCING ROWENA is book 5 in my Passion Peak, Colorado series!!
Welcome to PASSION PEAK, COLORADO, where cowboys and sexy Doms compete with the mountains as the best scenery in town.
Passion Peak and its twin, Sleepy Cat Peak, are both visible from the town. The Legend of Sleepy Cat Peak holds that when snow covers the mountain, it forms the image of a large cat. When the snow melts earlier than usual, the cat is then awakened early from its slumber and comes into the town, causing havoc for the remainder of the year...
And as if superstitious legends weren't enough, there's a ghost hunter with a reputation for manufacturing fake phenomena hanging around town, trying to get into historic homes to investigate...
Passion Peak, Colorado is a spin-off series from Racy Nights, and like Racy Nights, this series is MF and MFM menage with plenty of kinky sex, consensual BDSM, and an HEA in every book.
BLURB for Convincing Rowena:
[Siren Everlasting Classic: Erotic Consensual BDSM Romance, paddling, cropping, flogging, sex toys, HEA]
Vance "Van" and Rowena Sommers Whitney are Passion Peak’s favorite vanilla couple. Up until now, that is. As they seek to add BDSM play to their marriage, Passion Peak is once again in the news when new treasure hunters descend on the town.
Rowena is still struggling with trust issues from a past relationship she thought was dead and buried but has resurfaced during her BDSM experimentation with Van. A road trip to visit her friend Eve’s family in Racy, Indiana, puts Rowena in touch with new friends who help her start to deal with the past and her trust issues.
At home in Passion Peak, Van is not happy to learn the home he shares with Rowena is once again a target for five seeking the secrets supposedly buried inside it. When Rowena returns home and is kidnapped by two of these men, Van races against time to save the only woman he has ever loved.
Angelic Forecast ~ #282
Vague memories arise like ghosts, and I see scenes of myself as I was then. Suddenly, I yearn desperately to be as I was... a warrioress with powers far beyond the psychic abilities I have since learned on Mars. Or relearned.
"I feel homesick for that life, that way of being," I say to my lion man.
Dhuroth turns me in his embrace so we are face to face. I stroke his handsome leonine features, so wondrous to my hand.
"My one," he tenderly begins, "I too miss our lifetime during that Age of Time. I am far more grateful you are here with me now."
Do I dare say how infinitely large my heart swells?
***
I sit in meditation, disorientated, caught between worlds. My earlier remembrance of another lifetime with Dhuroth has triggered an opening, a portal to further knowledge.
Dribs and drabs of scenes play before my mind's eye. Different sensations come and go, just mere snatches of what it felt like to be in other lifetimes.
Yes, I have become aware of several other life memories, even gone back to key events, reliving them. Learning... but who am I really? In the great span of time, and no time?
Or, who have I been? How am I being influenced? What do I need to recall that will be of great importance in the now?
I sit with these questions, and want to make sense of all that I'm experiencing.
A soft tongue kiss on my cheek interrupts me. Moon Dream, my wolf companion, has risen. She cuddles close beside me, offering comfort, offering a grounding to the reality we are now experiencing.
"Love you," I whisper to her.
TO BE CONTINUED...
~~~~~~
ANGELIC FORECAST ~
On the AWAKENING front, this week heralds another massive shift in human AWARENESS. Cosmic rays from the galactic center, in concert with the Divine, brings a new diamond like clarity.
Out of this, across the globe, the UPRISING of the people against the Viper-Robber-Baron elite accelerates at a blistering pace. This will not be a leader-focused movement, but more a melding of minds ala the Aquarian Conspiracy.
From a prior forecast: "at this point in history, many realize governmental restrictions are now obsolete in the face of the Aquarian Conspiracy -- or the ability of humanity to live and love from their spiritual center, from their caring hearts."
IN OPPOSITION ~ from a previous forecast: "The New Inquisition is Here... Shutting Down the Aquarian Conspiracy.
That is, the dark-side controllers will use every diabolical method to shut down the mind and heart bond humans form with each other. This connection is part of what the Aquarian Age is all about, or what was called the Aquarian Conspiracy by author, Marilyn Ferguson, in her 1980 best-selling book, "Aquarian Conspiracy"."
On the personal front, a wacky and challengingly strange week for many of us, especially when it comes to finances. Plan ahead, if you are able, as far as a budget.
This week, your best bet is to hunker bunker down, and take care of the homestead the best way you have available. Also, this is a good week to settle in and daydream. Let the images flow at first, then daydream your preferred future into being. What is it you truly desire?
For, now is the time become the change you want to Be, the changes you want to bring about. That is, from the reality of your current circumstances.
On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' whirl in great circles, their lightblades extended like a celestial pinwheel. For, they continue slicing through the sinister gray fabric -- a blend of ancient sorcery and ancient tech – that was put in place by the Viper magicians. Now, it becomes time to free the 'full potential' of humanity, and of Mother Earth.
A new and brighter resonance is forming. The old gives way to the new as beneficial harmonics overcome this dis-harmonic plague of energy. However, overall, this will not be an easy peasy path to walk for humankind.
On the land changes front, the ACCELERATION of time-events, is one of the keys to the 'weirding' weather extremes now happening around the planet.
As well, volcanic activity continues to ramp up, and spill ash into the air. Likely, more earthquake swarms will shake the California coastline in the following months. Also, the caldera site in Yellowstone will remain active.
Further, with the up-tick in quakes happening across the planet, there will be devastation periodically. For, the Great Lion Star, the sun, begins to awaken from a temporary slumber.
On the paranormal front, the weird gets weirder, given the 'ancient magick' AWAKENS and BECKONS 'those' who are the slumbering magicians among us. For, they are born of this Age to bring forth the real magick from Ages past.
It is here. Sacred sentience versus the machine mentality. This battle currently rages on the supernatural stage.
On the UFO front, according to Peter Davenport of the 'National UFO Reporting Center' ~ufocenter.com~ the reports of sightings have escalated again, and we are in the middle of a genuine 'UFO Flap'.
HEADLINE-SNIPPET: Ominous Trumpet Sounds are Back ~ Friday January 24, 2014 ~ Strange and frightening trumpet sounds were heard around the world in 2011 and 2012. Now they're back, along with unexplained explosions. Linda Moulton Howe interviews witnesses, who describe these ominous sounds and the effect they have when they are heard. ~unknowncountry.com/dreamland/latest~

~~~ Where angels fear to tread, 2012 Earth ~~~
World weary and worn out, the incarnated angel, Sedona, who believes she is merely human, has three choices after her old van breaks down.

Walk out into the Arizona night desert, let the wildlife have a good meal with the hope her death will be quick.
Or does she dare trust the mysterious stranger suddenly before her?
Handsome as sin and all in black, he emerges out of the darkness.
Sedona wonders if the stranger on a superspeed motorcycle is her savior from the brutal endtimes.
Or, is he a roving cult member of the New World Order, hunting his next blood sacrifice?

Life With Baby Doll: My Heart Belongs To You
WARNING: The links contained within this post will take you to sites with content for mature readers only. However, this post is suitable for a PG audience.
One of the most bizarre e-mails that I’ve received was a letter from a reader with a proposition for both Baby Doll and I. The man made the assumption that because some of my writing featured men in multiple partner relationships that John and I would be open to sharing our hearts with another. He wrote a number of compliments, even going as far as suggesting how such a commitment could be forged between the three of us. Needless to say my finger hit the delete button.
My writing features all types of gay men in real situations of life and love. There are many stereotypes in our society surrounding men who are attracted to other males. I hope that through my writing, I can also dispel some of those untruths.
In a recent article by Out Magazine titled, The New Monogamists, the writer seeks to debunk the stereotype that all gay men are not interested in monogamy. While there are many types of relationships among individuals, there are some gay couples who prefer this type of intimacy. For those readers who don’t already know, Baby Doll and I are monogamous, as we made that decision in the early days of our commitment.
John whispered something the first time we made love, in March of 1992, and that sentiment has stayed with me throughout our life together. I was lying on top of his body, looking down into his eyes, as close as two men could ever hope to become physically.
“My heart belongs to you, Andrew, and only you.”
Throughout the twenty-two years that we have been together, Baby Doll’s words have echoed the feelings from my own heart. After John told me, on our first Thanksgiving together, about the hurts he had suffered at the hands of another gay man, I knew that I wanted to be his protector, provider, and top. In a previous Life With Baby Doll post titled, Romancing a Gay Man, I go into more detail about how I have let John know that his heart is safe within mine. Read an excerpt below:
“It is my responsibility to be sure that I understand John’s needs and make those my own. Without going in to detail, I use a tender dominance that lets him know that I’m in control of his most private and intimate emotions, while knowing that I will care for him in the manner he desires. I tell him I love him…hold him…touch him…tell him how good his feels. He hears the words from my heart.”
I did respond to Baby Doll that night, as he lay trembling in my arms. I am guilty of the fact that a brief portion of our conversation made it into one of my short stories titled, Wyatt’s Fantasy. Of course, I did change some of the endearments and words to match the personalities of Finn and Wyatt.
“Do you trust me, Baby Doll?” I asked.“Yes.”“Do you love me?”“With all my heart,” Baby Doll replied, in a voice sweet with desire.“I’ve got only one goal tonight, and that is to make you fall so deeply in love with me that you will have no choice but to submit mind, body, and soul. Now close your eyes, so your soul mate can finish giving you his heart as well.”
Another reason why I believe that John and I are monogamous is the fact, apart from believing that we are soul mates and have lived past lives together as such, is that I’m an only child. I didn’t learn to share and play well with others as a young boy. Another one of my vices is that I can have a jealous nature. Those traits more than likely shaped a portion of my dominance and masculinity that I identify with. Yet, it is within those same protective feelings for my partner, that I make sure he feels my tenderness and love. Baby Doll is secure within the fact that I would never hurt or betray our trust.
While John and I support many different types of lifestyles, both in and out of the LGBTQ community, monogamy is a part of ours. Love is love, and I hope this message shares ours.
While John and I support many different types of lifestyles, both in and out of the LGBTQ community, monogamy is a part of ours. Love is love, and I hope this message shares ours.
To learn more about this series and find a recent list of archives visit: Life With Baby Doll. Due to the increasing popularity of these posts, I have created the permanent tab on my Website that contains information concerning the intense and passionate love affair that I share with my partner, John Jericho.
I enjoy hearing from all of my readers, and look forward to your e-mails. Remember Love is Love…Period.

Wednesday's Words for January 22, 2014
We go through life, we humans, as if we really are, to paraphrase the words of William Ernest Henley, the “masters of our fate and captains of our souls”. But every once in a while something happens that completely disabuses us of any such presumption of power.
One such time for me occurred this past week as I was hit unexpectedly with a bout of illness. I developed an infection. The effects of this temporary condition were quite far reaching. There were the usual culprits, of course: fever and chills. In fact I had chills so bad I couldn’t text coherently. Needless to say my daughter was quite concerned and came running thinking her elderly mother had mentally crumbled.
Nope. I was just shivering so bad my teeth were mimicking castanets and my fingers could not hit the right darn keys.
I’ve been sick before, and I’ve been on antibiotics before. But this time has been different. I am kicking at the gate of 60, so I understand that this whole aging thing comes into play in some areas. One of those areas is how your body reacts to illness.
I know how to be sick. I’ve done it occasionally for years. Usually, it means that although I feel like “crap”, I’m able to soldier on, doing what needs to be done in the day-to-day. I might have to rest a lot more often than I’m used to, but stuff gets done. Stuff has to get done. That’s just the way it goes. Where do you think that saying comes from, that “moms don’t get sick”?
Not this time. This was the first time that I found not only did I have no energy to do anything—I had no ability to focus for more than a few minutes at a time on anything. Period.
So for the last almost week, I have been resting. I’ve written no words until I sat down yesterday afternoon to begin to write this essay. When I wasn’t in bed actually sleeping, I was in my recliner, with my legs up, my blanket on, and my eyes closed. Not sleeping, just lying there. Doing nothing.
I regret to inform you that I’m kind of a failure at doing nothing.
In the week leading up to this one of near complete and total incapacitation, when I thought I just had a cold so much like the one that so many people I know had over the last few weeks, I wasn’t faring that well, either. I had to rest a lot through the day and I was getting frustrated with myself because... because I am getting older.
I’m getting older! Most of the time I try very hard to ignore that fact, but there are times when “mind over matter” just doesn’t work. Damn it.
I’m not whining, and I’m not complaining—well, not much, anyway. I guess mostly I’m sitting here, scratching my head, trying to figure it all out. There has to be a way over, around or through this thing.
I just haven’t found it yet. But I’m not giving up. I’ll keep looking.
I’m sure, under the circumstances, that y’all won’t mind if I cut things short this week. Some of you may even cheer, and that’s fine. I’m just going to hunker down right here, close my eyes and rest.
And I’m going to hope that you’re all doing fine.
Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #281
Glimpses of that 'past' briefly race through my mind. "It became a sport... chasing the monkeys out of our lands."
"Indeed, my woman. It could be compared to fox hunting. Although, the monkeys were rarely harmed. Only when they attacked the dogs," my lion man adds.
He nuzzles my ear, and I melt against him.
"Yes... I am remembering. The worst was when those little demons leaped on my head, pulling my hair, tangling themselves in the strands."
"Ah, I well remember your fury, my lover. You chased that pack of little demons for three days straight."
"Yes," Dhuroth continues, "you intimidated them so fiercely, their coat of hair turned white."
Vague memories arise like ghosts, and I see scenes of myself as I was then. Suddenly, I yearn desperately to be as I was... a warrioress with powers far beyond the psychic abilities I have since learned on Mars. Or relearned.
"I feel homesick for that life, that way of being," I say to my lion man.
Dhuroth turns me in his embrace so we are face to face. I stroke his handsome leonine features, so wondrous to my hand.
"My one," he tenderly begins, "I too miss our lifetime during that Age of Time. I am far more grateful you are here with me now."

ANGELIC FORECAST ~
CHANGE, Holy Grail of the Transition into Aquarian Age
Change and *the Quickening* have been two hallmarks of the past decade. However, now superspeed goes superspeed. Good changes, bad changes -- get ready for an unbelievable, fantastical ride as the future unfolds.
On the land changes front, from this point forward, the planet sheds its former state for a newer version of herself. Mother Earth will go furious, even catastrophic in certain land and sea areas -- especially in the later half of 2014, and into the year, 2015.
This will likely cause large population migrations, far more than has occurred in recent history.
From the prior forecast: "ACCELERATION: land rising and falling... sinkholes become monsterously deeper and larger... earthquakes shake, rattle, and roll the planet with ever-deepening quakes... constant superstorms rage across the globe... more devastating floods are likely in the Spring and Summer months... volcanic activity only heightens, especially on the sea floor.
Meanwhile, the fireballs quicken, streaking across skies worldwide... there will be an increase in asteroid strikes... and strange anomalies will continue in the heavens... as well, the ongoing BOOM phenomena will likely reach a crescendo during Summer 2014.
Also, the Great Lion Star, the sun, is going through major changes. That is, expanding and contracting while subtly altering overall composition and, thus, frequencies. This will assist Mother Earth in her cyclic changes, and activate certain of humankind's lost genetics. This 'activation' revolves around spiritual and psychic abilities/powers."
On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' EXPOSE more of the Viper magicians' matrix. For, the time has come to truly 'free' humanity from the prison planet.
That is, an age-long imprisonment of not only the psychopathic among us -- but the brightest and best souls in the greater galactic realm have been trapped on Earth. Thus, the real fear is humankind's sheer, unlimited brilliance, rather than any over-violent tendencies. This is one of the hidden secrets humanity was NEVER supposed to know.
On the personal front, this week will likely be about facing ever-more changes in your life, both large and small. How well can you adapt?
This is the question many will be asking, and is no simple task for most of us. Knowing the solution -- how to adapt -- requires being in touch with your soul, your innermost spirit. And, it means a new kind of practicality in how you handle the everyday -- the mundane tasks.
As has been stated before, the key is balancing individuality and community -- and finding/creating your place.
On the paranormal front, the massing of UFOs is here. Just two examples below.
HEADLINE-SNIPPET: UFO disrupts traffic at Bremen Airport for 3 hours
A UFO has disrupted air traffic in Bremen for three hours. There is no question that it was real, as it was observed physically and on radar. It was never identified, and stopped air traffic while it hovered silently in the flight path for hours. ~unknowncountry.com/out-there/latest~
HEADLINE-SNIPPET: UFO sightings across California
Quite a spate of sightings across California over New Years. We got six reports on Unknowncountry.com's reporting page, and all of them described orange balls of light that hovered, then shot away at high speed. The story sourced here indicates that they were seen up and down the state. ~unknowncountry.com/out-there/latest~
On the AWAKENING front, the Divine global initiative toward ASCENSION accelerates. Connection to Mother Earth... connection to Spirit, these are keys that unlock the dark-side sorcery -- which has limited or outright prevented our ongoing, sacred connection.
This week, look for the merging of groups from the so-called 'left' and 'right' ... those with opposing views are coming together for a common purpose. Such 'unions of purpose' is the wave of the near future.

Life With Baby Doll: Love is in the Air
WARNING: The links contained within this post will take you to sites with content for mature readers only. However, this post is suitable for a PG audience.
Due to the fact that this week's Life With Baby Doll post contains adult language and themes, I am only posting a summary on this blog. The full segment can be read in it's entirety on my Website at the following link: Life With Baby Doll: Love is in the Air.
On Friday evening, before we left Cracker Barrel, John and I had our waiter snap the above photo in front of the fireplace. I am surprised that it came out as well as it did, considering the fact that it was made in low light with a cell phone. The image is a reminder to us of the romantic evening that we shared, as well as the love and passionate tension that charged the air.
In this week's post, I am sharing details of the romantic evening between John and I on Friday night.
I enjoy hearing from all of my readers, and look forward to your e-mails. Remember Love is Love…Period.

Something Beautiful to be Published!
WARNING: The links contained within this post will take you to sites with content for mature readers only. However, this post is suitable for a PG audience.
I am excited to announce that Siren-Bookstrand will publish my fifth book, Something Beautiful. The expected release date is March, 2014. Something Beautiful is a continuation of my short story, Playboy28. The book is a ManLove erotic romance.
Read the full synopsis below that accompanied my submission:
****
Transman, Reed Collins and his partner, Levon Kruger, an openly gay drummer for the heavy metal band Hardcore, have now been in a committed relationship for eight months. The pair is living at Levon’s home in Fayetteville, Arkansas as they continue to explore the love and passion that began in an online chat program a year ago. Recently, the pair defined that commitment as a marriage.
While on their honeymoon in Hot Springs, Avery Gaines walks into their lives in what he calls, “a chance meeting.” The couple is immediately attracted to the tall, dark-haired stranger, with deep green eyes. While Reed is the first to admit his love for Avery, Levon holds his emotions in check. Avery wants the trio to share not only love, but a commitment, and does not readily understand Levon’s reservations.
The romantic triangle will go through a period of conflict and turmoil, until Levon finally reveals a secret promise that he made to Reed, and how loving Avery would call into question the very foundation of the marriage he shares with his partner.

Wednesday's Words for January 15, 2014
This past weekend the weather finally stumbled out of the deep freeze that most of us have been suffering through for far too many days. On Saturday, here, it was a balmy 46 degrees. But the slight wind kept us from feeling any warmth. Instead of just being cold, this past weekend we were cold and wet.
I think a good half of the snow we had here melted. But it didn’t really melt away. It pooled and became watery ice and then, overnight, it would harden again. The snow in our back yard is now ice-covered, which I don’t mind, necessarily. Tuffy, however, doesn’t care for it.
I should qualify that. He doesn’t like walking over it, but does like that the last few days have been milder. He’s been able to stay outside longer, allowing him to take complete olfactory inventory of every critter who, over the last couple of weeks, dared to enter his yard when he was tucked up safe and warm inside.
He’s a dog (no longer a puppy since he turned 1 on Christmas Day) who enjoys his front porch and his back yard. We did keep him in over the worst of the cold, not letting him out at all—not even for a minute. This meant making sure we had a pad down for him, which he used properly. But he’s little, and that wasn’t too bad an ordeal for either of us (him or me) to endure.
My dear husband returned to work on January 6, after being home for 17 straight days. Or I should say, he tried to return to work. They worked a half day on Monday, and then were sent home upon arrival on Tuesday, because of the bitter cold. Quarry work is outside work and company policy does cite the lowest temperature for working. The temperatures here were below that.
Thank God Wednesday turned out to be a full day on the job for him. Murder was therefore, fortunately, averted.
It’s amazing, in a way, how quickly I was spoiled by two previous winters that only had a couple of minor cold snaps, and snow that kept melting away completely. It’s been a lot of years since we had snow that came in early December and stayed. I think I’ve lost my immunity to the weather that I used to have. Going outside every morning to take David to work, and then again to pick him up in the afternoon had me used to being out in the snow and ice. Now, I only venture out Thursday afternoons to bring him home. Sometimes not even that. When it’s been a couple of weeks since I made that trek to the next county, I’m always shocked at the progression of the season.
The very poor condition of some of our roads these last few days has been another shock. In some areas the plows hadn’t done a very good job; in others, they were too enthusiastic, and left potholes behind to prove it.
One result of that ice storm that we had here in Southern Ontario a few days before Christmas was that within a day of it, there was no safety salt left to be had at any of the stores.
In fact, we were unable get any as late as yesterday. The manager of our local grocery store said salt was en route, on Sunday. We’re still waiting. In the interim, I mostly stayed inside the house. I’m at the point in my life where falls are to be avoided at all costs.
Monday, my eleven year old grandson came over with his sister, and he took a shovel and cleared the ice from my walkway. He’s growing up to be a good little man.
Most people are lamenting about how long this winter has seemed already. We have, potentially, two months of the season left to go. In this area of life only, I take a pessimistic view, and I believe that view actually leads to an optimistic outlook.
Most people cling to that outdated tenet that winter “officially” begins on December 20th or 21st, depending. Not me. October first, baby. That is the first day of winter in my book, and it doesn’t stay here in my part of Canada for a paltry three months. No siree, it’s ours for half a year.
And by that reckoning, we are already nearly two-thirds done with the bitch. Ground Hog Day is in just 18 days. It’s just about time to celebrate.
Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #280
"Where on Earth?" I ask, confused. I don't believe it's the Egyptian pyramids.
"Central America, as the region is called now. However, the area of land was far larger than in these times," Dhuroth answers, rocking me in his embrace.
"No monkeys," I say as the 'knowing' hits.
"No, my one woman, there were no monkeys in that region. We did not allow them." My lion man chuckles in a deep rumble, as if it's our inside joke.
As it clicks inside my mind, I say, "The monkeys were used against us by enemies."
"Yes." Dhuroth holds me closer against his fine, fine huge frame. "The Dark Ones trained them to spy, and to cause constant mischief. When the havoc increased, we and others, trained our dogs to chase them."
Glimpses of that 'past' briefly race through my mind. "It became a sport... chasing the monkeys out of our lands."
"Indeed, my woman. It could be compared to fox hunting. Although, the monkeys were rarely harmed. Only when they attacked the dogs," my lion man adds.
He nuzzles my ear, and I melt against him.
"Yes... I am remembering. The worst was when those little demons leaped on my head, pulling my hair, tangling themselves in the strands."
TO BE CONTINUED...

ANGELIC FORECAST ~
The Great Intention of Humanity Wings Higher ... as massive CHANGES tsunami worldwide... now, the uniqueness of Self soars.
Out of this, the world continues to be born anew. For, LOVE blooms, grows within each individual. This is the world's real salvation... EACH ONE of us as loving, caring beings.
On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' vigorously swing their lightblades, cutting through the thinning layers of conjured, black-art's magick. With more universal light shining though, humankind AWAKENS ever-faster.
Further, the activation of 'some, not all' spiritual-psychic powers have been delayed for the past year. This, because of the interference of electronic mind-control devices. However, the GOOD FORCES will be circumventing much of this sinister attack by the dark-side controllers.
On the personal front, riding the super waves, this will likely be true for many as life speeds up, and the CHANGES accelerate all around us. As well, on the down to earth side, monetary concerns could be front and center.
Looking for new ways to do things, and searching out new opportunities, is the best course of action. For some, this will be setting up ways to trade and barter goods and services with each other, and within their communities.
On the paranormal front, the paranormal-supernatural world takes another hyper-jump into the AWARENESS of humanity this week. Be prepared for more high-strangeness events.
Also, even with the ever-growing reported sightings of UFOs, larger events are about to take place, especially as the summer season approaches. The mother ships, and other crafts, will be showing themselves off more frequently. This, from both the good-side ETs, and other benevolent races on planet -- and from the UN-BENEVOLENTS.
For, the war in the heavens takes another significant turn... DISCLOSURE via sightings across the planet is HERE. This is happening because, overall, world governments have failed to fully inform, or prepare their people.
Meanwhile, Big Foot-Sasquatch continues coming out of the woods. The time of secrets is over on Earth. For, TRUTH stands as the guardian to the Aquarian Age.
On the truth front, the firestorm backlash is here against corruption, against the anti-human elite. The more hidden TRUTHs are released through alternative media, the more activism will burn and fiercely rise like a great flock of infuriated phoenixes.
This week there will be a major TRUTH event revealed. This will rock many of us down to our souls -- those of us who are paying attention.
On the AWAKENING front, another HUGE week ahead with non-stop REVELATIONS about how to take spiritual control of your life. Because of this the psychopathic Viper controllers will use a myriad of distractions.
This will include more celebrity nonsense, false political debates, extreme weather, and will likely include the horrors happening in the various war theaters. However, INTENTION, the will of humanity to bring forth paradise on Earth, surfaces ever stronger. And becomes more real.
