Wednesday's Words for February 26, 2014

I know that you’re all counting down the days until spring. I have to admit that I am doing that, too, even though I try very hard not to rush my days. I know it sounds sappy for me to say that each and every day is a precious gift—but that is exactly what I believe, and how I feel.

I don’t proselytize, and I certainly haven’t thumped a Bible in years. That’s not my job. My job is to live my life the best way I can, share whatever insights I glean along the way, and create stories that are full of hope and love, and make people feel good.

But my faith is rock solid—and it, too, is a precious gift.

Time moves so quickly now for me, and I think that is universal to us, as human beings, the older we get. Yeah, I’m sick of the cold and the snow and the ice. But I do know that before very long at all, we’ll turn the corner, and warmer weather will be here.

And I know, too, that some of you who’ve had unseasonably cold weather this winter will, also before too long, be right back into the triple digit heat of summer. I’m sure there will be days in July or August when we will all be thinking a little more fondly of the last few months.

I’ve been listening to the hype from all of the news networks as they’ve reported on the storms we’ve had this winter. Their hyperbole just makes me shake my head. News anchors have employed phrases like “snowmageddon”, polar vortex, and of course, the oft used “storm of the decade” and then, “storm of the century”.

The truth is, what we have had these past few months in the northern half of this continent is a good, old fashioned winter. Now, it’s true that those of you in the southern half of the United States did get hit a lot more severely than usual. I know that some of you saw snow and ice in your yards for the first time in years—or maybe, for some of you, for the first time, ever. That was most certainly noteworthy and perhaps deserving of a little bit of hype. I really felt bad for you, because you’re not used to any snow or ice at all, and you had a lot to contend with. Driving on icy roads is a very special skill, one that requires either snow tires, or winter chains. It’s not for the faint of heart, and certainly not for the impatient. My advice to any of you contemplating trying to drive in icy conditions is just one word: don’t.

Let’s hope you’re done with the ice storms. For that matter, let’s hope we all are.

There’re only two more days left of February and then we’ll be in March—hopefully the beginning of the end of winter. All of my life, the rule of thumb for planting the gardens has been to wait until the Victoria Day weekend. That’s in May—this year, May 17 to 19. Usually by then, all danger of frost is past. I’m not counting on anything this year. We have (way back in my younger days when this kind of winter was normal) even seen snow in April and early May. I hope not this year. I want my gardens.

Last fall, we planted a whole bunch of new bulbs. We’re eager to see them bloom, and hopeful that they will. I love flowers, I love their smiling, optimistic faces, and the way they scent the air. I grew up knowing the joy of lily of the valley, narcissus, daffodils, and lilacs blooming sometimes together. There was a special perfume when several of them blossomed at the same time, and the breeze was just right.

Meanwhile, and until then, I’m going to do my best to make the most of each day, and remember that all things come, not to stay, but to pass.

Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #286

A group of us on Mars are projecting what are known as fire-wave particles, a cleansing torrent of frequencies. The dark mass of evil blanketing life on Mother Earth has moved us to action.

For now, there is no other option. If we are to save and empower the GOOD people... and, all that is good about life.

With my vibratory connection to Earth, I am monitoring the firestorm. I am directing its path. It is a fearsome force with the unpredictability and power of a million raging wildfires.

Etheric flames shoot to the skies above major installations. This inferno frequency burns away those who do not belong on Earth... these parasite interlopers who never belonged on what was supposed to be a paradise world.

It will take time to drive them from their strongholds -- there disguised place within the inter-dimension. It will take time to destroy the fortresses of their pathetic, psychopathic minions on Earth.

Even now, the vibratory heat of their ultimate destruction is being felt by these hollow-soul sycophants who serve what is often called evil. These puffed up, pompous suits who say they have mastered the human race with their misuse of magick, with their stolen technology.

For they cannot create. They can only replicate and weaponize what humanity and other races have innovated, have already built.

The secret: their imaginations are sterile.

TO BE CONTINUED...

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

Explosive changes continue worldwide. Now, the revolution-evolution of humanity firestorms ever fiercer, ever wider across the blue marble planet, Earth. For, the flames of freedom will not, cannot be contained.

This, despite the many diabolical setbacks.

FROM: June 16, 2013 ~ Angelic Forecast ~ #250 ~ "On the AWAKENING front, The Titanic Shift Is Upon Us... the colossal plates of time, Aquarian age energy, and several dimensions are shifting, colliding... separating, then coming together. Boom, bam, bang!

As stated at the beginning, these are explosive times on all levels, from physical explosions around the world to massive explosive changes in society, with the main spotlight on religion for right now. Now, in general, governmental structures explode apart -- some of it slow motion, but a whole lot it flash-bang rapidly.

Also, the sands of time are running out for the dark-side global controllers. In the grand cosmic scheme, they must either conquer humanity or become the conquered." 

On the good news front, this week heralds a bright new beginning. For now, religion dies by its own corrupt, decadent hand -- all while its serpent servants brutally attempt to subjugate the people with tyranny, and a grand deception.

Watch out for the alien god.   

From a prior forecast: "On the good news front, the CHAMPIONS of the people arrive as never before. This is because each one of is a champion for others in our own individual way.

To repeat from a previous forecast: "the inner Warrioress and the inner Warrior rises to a whole new level within many of us. For, now is the time. We are being activated by the Divine Realm to be champions for the people, and champions for Mother Earth." 

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' prepare to make an appearance before humankind. For some, this will look like a grand destiny playing itself out behind the scenes, as well as on the world stage.

For others, this will be a leap in their psychic powers and abilities. Mentors will appear, either as spiritual guides, or as the right teacher at the right time. For, the Great Magick of humanity awakens, rises, and generates life anew.

This CHANGE to psychic awareness, to the artful use of energies, will occur in fits and spurts. Imagination is also a huge key in bringing about this 'magickal' life.

On the land changes front, SUPERSTORMS, more on the way... prepare! This is global, and is a combination of cyclic Earth Changes, Weather Wars Manipulation, and the chaos-consciousness of humanity.

HEADLINE: "Meteor Strike Over England! Huge Daytime Fireball Brighter Than The Sun Lights Up England Skies" 

HEADLINE: "Recent Caribbean Earthquakes Spark Concern" 

THIS CONTINUES: "the sun, the Great Lion Star, will likely awaken more, and become more explosive, lashing out with a cascade of CMEs." 

From a previous forecast: "more SUPERSTORMS, and there could major rumblings on the New Madrid fault line during the coming month. However, the Benevolents are gentling Mother Earth in that area. This does not mean there is no danger, only that a cataclysmic event is 'not' on the near horizon." 

Likely, earthquake swarms will continue along the California coastline, and 'could' hit the northwestern states -- along with volcanic activity. Quakes, large and small, will shake, rattle, and roll the planet non-stop.

Two devastating earthquakes 'could' strike in early and late summer. Prepare, especially if you live in quake zones." 

On the personal front, upheaval, good and bad, will likely be the order of the day for many of us during the next two weeks. Ride out the storm, and look for the golden opportunity within.

For, there will be that moment of recognition. Realize, this moment of ah-ha will move you forward in a much better direction.

Also, singing and listening to others sing the songs you love, will assist you in living, in walking the wiser path during these tumultuous times. For, music resonates and re-calibrates your soul and spirit. 

On the paranormal front, another monstrously big week for discovering the paranormal-supernatural realm. Be prepared. As they say, there be dragons.

Further, an influx of ghosts has been reported at Fukushima, site of the tsunami and radiation disaster. As well, encounters with angels and demons will increase dramatically.

Cryptids will keep showing themselves off.  Likely more Thunderbirds will be seen and reported in the near future. And, the true past of humanity continues to reveal itself.

New Release: AWAKENING HER RACY PASSION - Racy Nights 9

I'm so pleased to announce a new release!! AWAKENING HER RACY PASSION is book 9 in my Racy Nights series!!

You can read more about the Racy Nights series on my WEBSITE, but for now, here is a brief overview for old and new Racy Nights fans alike...

Welcome to Racy Indiana, population 10,467 (give or take a few) and founded in 1898. Located in northwest Indiana, a branch of the Iroquois River runs through the town, and miles of wind turbines dot the landscape.

On Riverfront Drive you’ll find the Racy Animal Clinic, owned and operated by sexy vet Dustin Alexander, and where Annalise Kerr brought in her cat Shadow for a checkup. While backing out of the parking space after Dustin asked her out, she nearly collided with the unmarked police cruiser driven by Detective Chad Bristol.

Also now located on Riverfront Drive is Luke's Bar. It was in the original location on Market Street where gorgeous Luke Rodriguez spent most of his time, until he met Alexa Monahan, that is. Alexa moved to Racy from Manhattan, where she worked in a sex shop with Racy native Kari Tye.

If you walk along Riverfront toward downtown Racy, you’ll come to Market Street, the heart of Racy’s historic district. The buildings here were all original, and the business owners lovingly maintained them. They're nearly restored now after an EF3 tornado destroyed most of them last May.

Kari had been gone for fifteen years, but last October she returned. She and Alexa opened Tye Me Up just before Christmas, Racy’s first and only sex shop, out on Lawnview Drive.

Noah Wells, a research and development specialist at Notus Power, the company that owns and operates the wind turbines just outside of Racy, helped keep Kari safe from trouble that followed her home. And what he couldn't accomplish, sexy Adison Kincaid, head of security at Notus, certainly did.

As for Alexa, she not only has Luke looking after her, but also heroic Chase Taylor, the Racy Building Commissioner. He’s the reason Kari and Alexa were able to open their shop in the once-beautiful century home that had been scheduled for demolition. Now restored to its former majesty, the upstairs of the house is living quarters for Alexa and her Doms, while the shop is on the main floor.

Lawnview Drive is now the site of multiple homes being built to resemble Tye Me Up. They'll each contain an upscale shop to make this area of Racy the hottest new shopping district.

Around the corner from Market Street is Main Street, where you’ll find the courthouse and City Hall. J Lo lookalike Marisol Santiago is a court reporter who got more than she bargained for when she became accidentally involved again with old boyfriend Rafe Rodriguez, and Ellis McCree, the city building inspector, at the same time. Rafe is Luke’s older brother, and Ellis is cousin to Maddox McCree, who owns and operates the local BDSM club out of his mansion on Birch Lane.

Maddox’s mysterious and slightly shady past was the subject of much speculation among Racy’s residents, until psychologist Julie Carruthers attended a surprise birthday party for Alexa at Maddox’s club and chipped a hole in the armor surrounding Maddox.

Things really got interesting inside City Hall. Former mayor Bernie Crumb was indicted on charges of murder, among other things, and sexy Dom Zach Kincaid is now Racy's mayor. Former IT department head Gina Santori keeps Zach on his toes, and she keeps detective Harrison Kelly happy as well, serving as a sub to both men. She also is part of Giolanna Design Solutions, the company she, Annalise, and Olivia Kelly started last summer.

If you circle around Main Street over to Ash Lane and head for the river, you’ll eventually wind up back on Riverfront, where The Fit Bod, Racy’s gym, stands in stark contrast to the quaint old buildings in and around that area. It’s a bold, modern design that hunky Evan Rydell designed and co-owns with Thayer Denning. Evan and Thayer don’t mind sharing sub Cherilyn Barker, who now works alongside them.

And Olivia Kelly, Harrison’s sister and Cherilyn’s friend, had plenty to do outside being part of Giolanna Design Solutions once she met Racy Fire Chief Cameron Sinclair and Racy Fire Inspector Storm Jamison. Talk about things heating up!

So come on in and take a stroll through Racy with its spunky heroines and drop-dead gorgeous heroes. This is small town America, and Racy residents gossip as much as anyone, but when the crap hits the fan, they’re there for each other. From ex-Doms and serial killers, to ex-wives and AWOL soldiers, and all the way to tornadoes and arsonists, Racy has its share of trouble, but our heroes are on hand to make sure no harm comes to their heroines.

BLURB for AWAKENING HER RACY PASSION:

[Siren Ménage Everlasting: Erotic Consensual BDSM Romance, M/F/M, spanking, cropping, flogging, sex toys, HEA]

Ria Rodriguez wants to mend her gossipy ways, make up with former BFF, Marisol, and heal the rift she caused in the Racy, Indiana, BDSM community last summer. Sexy twin Doms, Wyatt and Trent Rohan, are more than willing to help her do that. But Ria’s romance with both Doms is complicated by a murder she witnesses. The mystery goes deeper than anyone in Racy first imagined.

Paramedic Trent Rohan is drawn to Ria’s impulsive behavior, but can he escape the heartbreak in his past and learn to love again? And can he share her with his twin?

Wyatt Rohan has been married to his job as a public defender. Ria is the first woman who has crawled under his skin and this far into his heart. Can he allow himself to love her? Or will she get tired of waiting and choose his twin, instead?

Life With Baby Doll: Never Thought That I Could Love

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. 

Andrew (left) and John ~ February 14, 2014

For those readers who also follow me on Social Media, you are aware that I completed my surgery on February 19th.  I was released from the hospital on Friday, February 21st.  Now, I am in the first pre-op week following a TAH (Total Abdominal Hysterectomy). Not only was the operation medically necessary, but it was a first step towards my medical transition.

I have stated the following frequently  in regards to questions concerning my decision for surgery:

“I have transitioned in every other way since the age of five. Some professionals would state that such actions (my surgery) would be the next logical step.  I still firmly believe that everyone transitions in their own way, and at their own time.  Gender and sexual orientation are not defined by surgeries and / or hormones, or the lack thereof.  Perhaps, I will always be transitioning to Andrew Kyle Kinley.” 

This will not be a long post this week, as I am still in the early stages of recovery.  Since the Life With Baby Doll series is a weekly feature on this Website, I am making a short post.

Surgery is not only taxing on the physical body, but on the mental spirit as well.  I’ve experienced a great deal of emotions since I found out that I would need the operation in late October, 2013. However, the most important feelings that I’ve known during that time have been the love and support from my family, friends, and readers.  I am very proud of my children for taking care of the house while John and I were away at the hospital.  Also, Baby  Doll’s unconditional love and support has gotten me through half the journey, the other half of my road is in recovery.

Most all know that I have a very dominant and masculine personality. However everyone, even men like myself, are vulnerable to something.  I struggle predominately with gender dysphoria, phobias, and severe anxiety / panic disorders.  One of my triggers is fear of  surgical procedures. While at the hospital, those same dark struggles reared their ugly heads.  During that time, I realized that I never thought I would be able to love someone as much as I love my partner.  John was the angel of light that kept the darkness from consuming me.

On my last night at the hospital, John wheeled a small metal stool next to my bedside, took my hand, and told me that he would wait with me until I feel asleep.  The circumstances surrounding his need to do that are unimportant, as the fact that I found my dominance surrendering for a moment into the comfort of  the man’s touch.

“Thought I was the one who was supposed to be doing that,” I spoke quietly, tightly accepting the hand that was offered.  

“You will…soon…but right now, you’re going to take what you need from me.  That’s an act of dominance, too, you know.”

“This a dangerous offer,” I replied closing my eyes, “because I’ll take everything.”

“You always do, Casanova, now try to get some sleep.”

Alas, it was the gay baby who had rescued me.  Readers know that how often is a secret. I wouldn’t want to destroy my top status.  In allowing myself to sometimes experience emotions from a submissive point of view, I feel that it has helped me understand my role as the dominant partner in the top / bottom dynamic that I share with John.  That knowledge has given me a tenderness in those interactions with Baby Doll.  Hence, I coined the term tender dominance.

“How did a man like myself ever get the attention of a Midnight Angel?  Honey, you are the sweet and precious dream that saved my life.  The only reason that I survived.  While I never thought that I would love anyone romantically, being your partner is an all consuming, passionate inferno, that burns within me.” ~ Andrew

I enjoy hearing from all of my readers, and look forward to your e-mails. Remember Love is Love…Period.

Wednesday's Words for February 19, 2014

This past Monday, here in Ontario, saw us observing a relatively new holiday, begun in 2008: Family Day. Before this holiday was officially named, there was, for the employees of a lot of companies, a “floating holiday” in February—because this one, everyone knew, was coming, thanks to the long, drawn out, government debates.

I don’t think one should read into this day any great reverence, on the part of the provincial government, for the Canadian Family. I think it was more a question of everyone complaining that we had to go from New Years Day all the way to Good Friday without a paid “holiday”.

Some communities hold special family-oriented events on the third Monday in February. We never bothered to attend any, of course, because by 2008 all of our children were grown and gone. This year, actually, was the first time we did anything in honor of the day, and it came about in a backwards sort of way.

It’s rather fascinating how a lot of the things we Ashbury’s end up doing happen that way.

Our second daughter has a great love of “family dinners”. I don’t believe she ever enjoyed one until she became a part of our family. In fact, I remember with a lot of fondness her first one here, and so does she.

The dinner was for our middle child, Anthony’s birthday, the first year the two of them were together as a couple. Now, his birthday was July 5th. This particular July 5th was a hot one. Regardless, the birthday boy (well, birthday man as he was over 21) had expressed his dinner preferences: prime rib, baked potatoes, and cauliflower and broccoli. And cake, of course, as it was his birthday.

My house didn’t have any air conditioning.

So there we were, 7 of us, around the dinner table, perspiring, as you can imagine. I cooked the roast in the oven, so the entire kitchen was sweltering, and the kitchen is the only place here to eat. And then Anthony asked where the cheese sauce was. I told him I just couldn’t manage to make a cheese sauce that day. That comment was followed by my daughter’s then boyfriend, whom she’d been with a couple of years, asking where the gravy was. I explained that with cooking prime rib, one doesn’t have gravy, one has “au jus”. Of course, all the jokesters in the family had fun razzing me about “no cheese sauce” and not even a real gravy, just “au jus”, saying I was falling down on the job, that I should get a demerit put into my folder, and so on and so forth.

Our second daughter was sitting beside me and getting angrier and angrier—until I took pity on her and told her that they were all just teasing me—and that it was something that happened a lot around here.

This past Family Day family dinner was on the other end of the spectrum, so to speak. My second daughter wanted us to have a family dinner, since we hadn’t had one since Christmas. I told her, and my daughter, that if they wanted a family dinner, I would be happy to provide the venue and the food, but they would have to help. I’m not up to the big productions I used to do, and that’s just the way it is. They agreed. Then I asked (foolish question because I knew the answer) what they would like to eat for this meal. The answer? T-Bone steaks. There would be 8 of us eating steak, as my youngest grandson doesn’t care for it and prefers a couple of hamburgers instead.

When I pointed out that the only way to cook these steaks would be to do so on the outdoor grill, my daughter said she would be happy to do that. And she did, wonderfully, after her son cleared the mountain of snow leading up to and around the grill.

The girls were true to their word about taking on the lion’s share of the work. My contribution to the meal was minimal—I prepared the veggies, including that heart-shaped potato for my beloved.

This year, at least, the Ashbury’s lived up to the hype of the holiday. We had supper on Sunday with the girls and their crew and then went to our son’s house Monday mid-morning to have brunch with him and his.

These days, I cherish every opportunity I get to spend time with my loved ones. It is, in my mind, the most fulfilling time I spend.

Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #285

I need to rebuild my inner strength. For, I realize lifetime traumas still infest my soul.

I realize the battle ahead will require more strength than ever. The dark forces gather for the final crushing of humanity. For the final imprisonment of the solar system.

***

"Firestorm," I whisper. In astral form, I stand somewhere on Earth... some great peak I cannot name. Thin streams of cloud hover above me. Below are unfathomably deep crevices and valleys.

A group of us on Mars are projecting what are known as fire-wave particles, a cleansing torrent of frequencies. The dark mass of evil blanketing life on Mother Earth has moved us to action.

For now, there is no other option. If we are to save and empower the GOOD people... and, all that is good about life.

With my vibratory connection to Earth, I am monitoring the firestorm. I am directing its path. It is a fearsome force with the unpredictability and power of a million raging wildfires.

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

Now... Humanity Awakens Around This Maxim: The best defense is a strong offense.

Those who refuse to be 'the sheeple' rear up strong, tall, and proud. Like stallions and mares defending their herd, they charge, teeth bared, and attack with striking hooves.

Also, this week, the drumbeat of war will be heightened, accelerated by the 'dark-side powers that be'. Look for the threat of terror will constantly be forced down the throats of the people.

In the end, most will not buy it.

On the land changes front, the sun, the Great Lion Star, will likely awaken more, and become more explosive, lashing out with a cascade of CMEs.

From the previous forecast: "more SUPERSTORMS, and there could major rumblings on the New Madrid fault line during the coming month. However, the Benevolents are gentling Mother Earth in that area. This does not mean there is no danger, only that a cataclysmic event is 'not' on the near horizon." 

Likely, earthquake swarms will continue along the California coastline, and 'could' hit the northwestern states -- along with volcanic activity. Quakes, large and small, will shake, rattle, and roll the planet non-stop.

Two devastating earthquakes 'could' strike in early and late summer. Prepare, especially if you live in quake zones.

HEADLINE in Kentucky: "BREAKING: 8 Vehicles Swallowed by Sinkhole at National Corvette Museum" 

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "More than 200,000 people evacuated and five airports closed as volcano erupts on Indonesian island: Eruption sent plume of ash and sand 10 miles into the air and 300 miles to the west and northwest on island of Java..." 

HEADLINE: "Volcano Spawns Terrifying Tornado-Like Twisters *GIFS*" 

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' soar the stone energies of the megalithic structures, thus, destroying more of the demonic dimension that has been allowed access to Earth. For, these portals were opened by a succession of Viper magicians during this past age.

This harmonic attack by the Mages will temporarily cause more demonic activity as the entities fight for survival. Watch for those stories reported on alternative media sites and programs.

On the personal front, this is a go-getter week for many. Just make certain what you're after is truly what you want to achieve.

This is also a perfect time to become more aware of the people around you. Who are they really? Can you trust them in an emergency situation? Will they watch your back or will they turn against you? This is key for handling future circumstances.

On the paranormal front, more 'BIG' Bigfoot news is on the near horizon. For, at this time, all good beings and creatures need to stand together for the sake of Mother Earth. The Sasquatch want to reach out to those of us who have loving hearts, and work with us.

However, beware of the paranormal-supernatural beasties and entities who hate humanity. Protecting yourself is best achieved by knowing you have the power to dismiss them. For, you have dominion in this realm.

HEADLINE: "Reptilian Humanoid Startles Bikers in the Sonoran Desert" ~cryptozoologynews.com/reptilian-humanoid-confuses-bikers-sonoran-desert

On the AWAKENING front, as immortality is sold-hyped as living in the cyber world forever, in OPPOSITION rises the new Aquarian Age spirituality.  That is, AWAKENING to the true soul, to the real strength and power within each one of us.

For, immortality already belongs to humanity. Whereas machines, anything in the realm of the cyber-borg-avatar is never truly immortal -- except as part of the ongoing story of each human being, each immortal spark of the Divine.

Life With Baby Doll: John’s Casanova

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. 

Andrew and John ~ Valentine's Day, 2014

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:  John's Casanova. 

In our first year as committed partners, John gave me the nickname Casanova.  He said that his choice of endearments was because of my romantic and charming nature.  In this week's Life With Baby Doll post on my Website, I share the events of our Valentine's Day, and how a dominant man is being kept sane by a gay baby.  Imagine that...all because he loves me.     

I enjoy hearing from all of my readers, and look forward to your e-mails. Remember Love is Love…Period.

A Gay Man's Valentine

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. 

Andrew (right) and John ~ January 25, 2014

My valentine is a flamboyant gay man—a handsome twink that I met almost twenty-three  years ago.  Some of Baby Doll’s favorite words are ‘honey,’ and ‘girlfriend.’ He loves pink and purple, particularly flowers of the same hue.  John has a stuffed toy collection full of magical creatures—rainbow teddy bears and unicorns. Emotionally he is my best friend, and deepest sexual desire.  The dynamic of my masculinity, paired with Baby Doll’s flamboyance, is what we continue to share today.

Together, John and I have celebrated twenty-two Valentine Days together. Even though each of these have been filled with their own romance and sensuality, I am reminded of the tenderness of our first.  Baby Doll and I committed as a couple in August 1991. So as Valentine’s Day 1992 approached, we had been together for almost six months.

Our first home was a small one-bedroom apartment that quickly became an oasis from the rest of the world. Starting out, we didn’t have a great deal of money.  So, I learned to be a suave gentleman on a dime.  Being the dominant partner, I always considered it my responsibility to provide the romance in our relationship.  In planning those early encounters, including our first Valentine’s Day, I believe it shaped me into the spontaneous and romantic man that I am today.

For our first Valentine’s Day, my plans included a home-cooked meal, watching a rented movie, and cuddling.  At the time, a baked spaghetti casserole was the only dish that I cooked well.  While my culinary skills have improved, I still prepare that simple Italian standby on occasion. After a candlelight dinner, we watched Ghost on VHS.  Today the VHS tape is a thing of the past, as the introduction of Netflix, Hulu, and Redbox has redefined home entertainment. Before the night was over, an eighteen year old transman was  making out on the couch with his valentine to the sounds of Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers.  John was accepting every touch I offered, submitting in my arms.

While Baby Doll and I had not been intimate by most adult definitions,  that would come the next month, we still lived together as romantic partners. Having never been naked in each other’s arms, our affection was shown in French kisses and tender caresses.  Throughout our life together as partners the sexuality that we have shared has seen a multitude of facets, from the sweetness of first kisses to the experienced hands of two lovers connecting with raw passion.  Still yet, the memories of those first interludes together, are perhaps the sweetest, as a first Valentine’s Day plays it’s unending melody.

Watch for Sunday’s scheduled Life With Baby Doll post on February 16th, as I share the events of our Valentine’s Day this year.  John Jericho and I would like to wish all of my readers a Happy Valentine’s Day.

I enjoy hearing from all of my readers, and look forward to your e-mails. Remember Love is Love…Period.

Wednesday's Words for February 12, 2014

It’s not all glitz and glamor, the life of an author. No siree. I may spend my days playing on my computer with people created from my own imagination, but I am still a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. I still have to cook and clean—although I have convinced my beloved that it really is past time that he lends a hand with the latter.

Still, the bulk of the work running the household falls to me. And every once in a while, strange things happen.

One such strange happening occurred one day last week as I began to prepare dinner. We were having beef stew and it was time to get the potatoes peeled and into the pot. I reached into the bag and pulled out a potato that was in a nearly perfect valentine heart shape.

I kid you not. I held this thing in my hand and laughed. Of course, I didn’t peel it. How could I? I mean, how often do you suppose anyone reaches into a bag of potatoes and pulls out a heart? So I set the potato aside, and made the dinner. But that heart made me think back to those days long gone when I was a young mother—and probably my only Valentine’s Day fail, ever.

When we were five—mom and dad, and three children aged from five to eleven—we didn’t have much. We scraped and saved for Christmas. For Valentine’s Day, we made sure that we had enough money set aside for the kids to buy their package of cards to give out at school, and to get them each a small, heart shaped box of candies for the day itself.

But some years were leaner than others. One time, in particular, I recall, there was just enough for the cards but not the chocolates. It really upset me at the time—you know how it is. Kids think you’re a big meanine when you have to say no, but you understand, as a parent, that things can happen to prevent you from doing what you’d hoped. When that happened in the past, I always just felt like a failure. You want to give your children not just what they need but some of what they want, but you can’t, always.

Valentine’s Day came that particular year, and I was making dinner—meatloaf, which everyone actually loved, mashed potatoes, and carrots. Suddenly, I had an amazing thought.

So I cooked the dinner carefully—the meatloaf not in the standard loaf pan, but instead on a tray in the oven, because I’d shaped the meat differently. I cut the carrots differently too—not sliced round, as usual, but in sticks.

When my family came to the table for supper, rather than just putting the food on the table for them to serve themselves, I presented them with their plates: meatloaf in the shape of hearts, with mashed potatoes forming a white pseudo-lace “boarder” around each heart, and the carrots laid out across the hearts as “arrows”.

I laugh thinking about it now, because I was so proud of myself for my great ingenuity! Unfortunately the comments I got were less than laudatory. You can imagine: “you should have used corn, because this sure is corny”, and other grumblings of a less than enthusiastic nature. They were children, after all, and more interested in chocolate than the sentiment behind them.

Flash forward about thirty years, to this freak of nature I found in my bag of potatoes. I haven’t done anything with it yet. It’s still sitting in the centre of the “lazy Susan” on my kitchen table. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it—but I think I might just save it until the 14th. Then I’ll scrub it, prick it, brush it with olive oil and wrap it in foil. I’ll present it to my beloved for dinner, perhaps alongside a steak.

He might think (once more) that it’s corny, but that’s all right. I’m nearly sixty, and if there is one thing in life I’ve learned, it’s this:

Often times, a potato is only, in the end, a potato. And Valentine’s really is about sentiment behind the day.

Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #284

We sit together in companionable silence. Our journeys have been long. Age upon age of fighting for GOOD, of battling the evil forces.

We are exhausted. Both of us are in need of solace, of a time to rejuvenate our spirits.

I need to rebuild my inner strength. For, I realize lifetime traumas still infest my soul.

I realize the battle ahead will require more strength than ever. The dark forces gather for the final crushing of humanity. For the final imprisonment of the solar system.

***

"Yes," Dhuroth growls. "The final imprisonment of the solar system. They must be stopped on Earth. That is the battleground."

I nod, hearing his words resonate deep, deep within me. Liberty lives in my soul, as breath lives inside my body temple. It has always been so.

At least, as far back as I am able to remember – through my many lifetimes, through the life experiences in other ethereal realms. Although, all too obviously I have not explored the infinity that is my spirit, my whole being.

"I am weary, my lion man. How do I fight?" I settle more comfortably on the round-shaped sofa. "How do I fight for freedom?"

TO BE CONTINUED...

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

The War in the Heavens is Here ... meaning the Ages-old 'Stars Wars' will become ever more visible, especially in the night skies.

Region-wise, *sightings* of UFOs and their ongoing battles will increase over large bodies of water, near active volcanoes, and areas high in quartz. Likely, greater numbers of 'fireballs' will streak across the skies.

THIS WEEK: World shaking events hit hyperdrive. 'Explosive' is the watchword.

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' become enormous cyclones of energy, assisting in the rise of ancient megalithic power. For, the stone power centers of times past are ringing with the influx of cosmic vibrations.

Now, these megalithic centers demand justice. That is, a balancing of power against the Dark Viper Elite who have demonically used their stone-energies for an Age.

For, the time of reckoning is here. What the dark-side magicians have summoned in blood rituals -- their bestial power -- will lash and strike at them like a hundred thousand enraged serpents.

On the personal front, this is another good week for planning and organizing. However, let it be a gentle process that simply evolves as you tend to it.

Also, financial opportunities will come front and center for many -- the more creative and innovative the better, as far as the future. Whatever you can accomplish to prepare and live off the grid, do it or get the project started.

On the truth front, theme for 2014: The Great Truth Divide is Here. An enormous chasm develops between THOSE who are willing to know the TRUTH no matter the cost, no matter the reality-horror... and THOSE who remain blind, who trust in the establishment matrix -- or, those who stay cocooned in the CIRCUS CIRCUS distractions.

At some point, it will become like living in two separate countries, and with two different cultural realities. As well, what is known as the space age 'breakaway civilization' --  the program currently shielded-hidden by NASA -- this truth continues to be exposed.

BTW, NASA, who and what is docked at the International Space Station? ~ "February 6, 2014 ~ Yesterday the entire footage of what appears to be a UFO docked at the International Space State (ISS) was released and uploaded to Youtube. The video shows the sleek looking yellow UFO docked at the ISS for just over two minutes with the Earth slowly rotating in the background." ~examiner.com/article/more-nasa-footage-of-ufo-docked-at-international-space-station~

On the paranormal front, the paranormal-supernatural 'reality' continues busting loose worldwide. There will be reported sightings of ever more strange creatures, beings, and UFO craft. Mermaids are likely to be in the news again.

Of great importance, the ancient shamanic traditions, this spiritual way of being, now rises like a shooting star at this turn-point time in history. This, despite every effort by the 'dark-side powers that be' to stomp it out of existence, and out of our modern minds.

On the land changes front, more SUPERSTORMS, and there could major rumblings on the New Madrid fault line during the coming month. However, the Benevolents are gentling Mother Earth in that area. This does not mean there is no danger, only that a cataclysmic event is 'not' on the near horizon.

From the prior forecast: "EARTHQUAKE ALERT!!! According to a report on Sean David Morton's show at Revolution Radio ~freedomslips.com~ earthquakes are shuddering the planet, about SIX every other day across the surface of Mother Earth. A lot of these quakes ARE NOT small. So beware, take care, and prepare.

EXTREME, and ever weirder weather continues around the world, especially along the coastlines. Volcanic activity is at an all time high, and will only increase. Further, undersea vulcanism will radically change the ocean temperature in some areas obviously causing strange but not wonderful weather.

Worldwide, sinkholes continue to eat up more of the land. Also, look for huge areas of flooding as Spring approaches. However, drought grows in other areas, and takes over the West Coast, then creeps eastward. This 'drought' can be mitigated by mass consciousness prayers and good vibes -- or, the people focusing together for a benevolent outcome."  

THIS FORECAST IS CONTINUED AT *TITLE MAGIC* ~titlemagic.blogspot.com~

WHEN A GOOD ANGEL FALLS

~~~ 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.

Let the Nazerazzi squad of the North American Union capture her and force her into a FEMA concentration camp.

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?

***

It’s only a few days before Winter Solstice, December 21, 2012 ~ The end of the Mayan Calendar.

Sent from heaven to help Sedona save humanity, Zerr Dann knows the Divine is playing its last card on Earth.

He also knows Sedona is about to find out Christmas miracles still exist.
