Angelic Forecast ~ #317

We stop moving and I hear a great whir of sound, as if we're entering a chamber. My gaze is glued on the monitor, and I observe what looks like towering temple pillars that are spaced a good distance apart.

Everything stops. The pearly haze clears away. From within my jet I stare at a grouping of women and men, who are bronze-skinned with various shades of henna-colored hair. All of them smile a welcome.

The men are far larger in size than the women. Beautifully dressed in Atlantean-Egyptian clothing, they wait patiently for me to emerge.

I expel my held breath, then touch open my jet's canopy. Dhuroth, my beloved Lion Man, has not mentioned this particular group of subterranean people.

"It's okay," I automatically say when my jet buzzes a growl of warning. I give her a pat, then swivel to face the stationary group of Cleopatra types. "Hi... hello... greetings." I smile. "I hope you speak English."

"We speak Martian," one of the lovely small women says.

So, they know. "Hello," I say in Martian. "I am Sh’raka, mate of Dhuroth... originally from Earth."

"Yes," one of the men steps forward. "We know who you are. Your cherub friend, Volcano, spoke to us not a month ago. Earth time."

"Volcano told you I was... yes, he knows these things." My curiosity aroused, I slowly begin to climb out of my jet. "I hope he spoke favorably. Or I'm in a world of hurt," I say in a bantering tone.

"You are welcome here," the woman says, the one who spoke before. "For, we battle the same enemy."

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

A Confluence of Cosmic Dynamics Spins the World Anew... yet gradually over the long span of the Aquarian Age... however events -- catastrophic and miraculous -- now happen at superspeed.

Buckle up. Strap in. And hold on for the amazing, mega-bumpy ride.

On the AWAKENING front, the time of Super Awareness begins for humankind as a whole. This is what the dark-side controllers fear the most, this AWAKENING to the real power of the people.

For many, an omniscient perspective now emerges ... or seeing both the sky view of a forest while seeing every detail of the trees. This multi-layered presence of mind shows up mostly as 'feelings', as knowledge beyond knowledge. As a KNOWING that simply is.

From a prior forecast: "Now humankind must step up into their supernatural powers. We must mightily swing our lightblades of 'truth', our emerging super awareness. Out of this, the enshrouding darkness cast by the Viper magicians, is dispelled. And ultimately defeated."

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' cyclone-whirl dispersing the last dark dregs of the Viper's ancient magick. Out of this, 'clarity' of mind begins to reign as the reality on Earth.

However, as usual, this will be a slow process, and fiercely fought against. For, many have become addicted to their belief systems, as if ingesting a powerful opiate.

Nonetheless, this cosmic time-point compels each one of us to question what we've been taught since birth -- and how we've been indoctrinated by the unrelenting propaganda of the 'dark-side powers that be'.

On the personal front, another merry-go-round week for most of us, as we deal with the 'chaos-quickening' demands of living in this world. At this time, upcoming events on the world stage will likely alter how we make decisions, how we run our lives.

This is a great week to simply enjoy the days of Autumn, while continuing to prepare for the winter months. Also, this is an ideal month to make new contacts and get to know those in your community better.

There is a dual reason for this. One, it will strengthen your community. Two, if there are too many 'bad apples' in your area, you need to know who they are -- and decide if it's worth staying, or moving on. For, time is of the essence.

On the paranormal front, supernatural and paranormal phenomena will leap off the proverbial charts during this *season of bewitchment* ... this unveiling of 'otherworlds' and 'other dimensions'. High-strangeness cryptids could top the list.

On the UFO front a tricky-dicky time of move and counter-move. This involves the New World Order's Project Blue Beam versus the ongoing emergence of the Benevolent ETs themselves.

While the spiritually and tech-advanced Benevolents are step-by-step removing the top-echelon minions of the Viper psychopath elites -- who remain hidden behind the scenes -- simultaneously the dark-side controllers are ruthlessly battling back with their own fleet of alien-looking UFOs.

Now these trends hit hyperdrive: from a previous forecast: "BIGFOOT rules, and the rise of Mars Awareness continues. Meanwhile, UFOs crowd the skies, and the alien agenda is sold by the Media Industrial Complex. That is, from a past forecast: "The message: the alien gods are here. Bow down, people of Earth."

On the truth front, The Rapidly Advancing Orwellian World ... black is white, two plus two equals five ... now DOUBLESPEAK instead of TRUTH becomes the dark-side establishment's favorite psychological weapon to kkeep control, and seize total control.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Truth in Media: Feds Say Cannabis Is Not Medicine While Holding The Patent on Cannabis as Medicine"  ~benswann.com/truth-in-media-feds-says-cannabis-is-not-medicine-while-holding-the-patent-on-cannabis-as-medicine~

On the land changes front, this past forecast only gets bigger and badder: "CHANGE is the watchword. Now more Volcanoes awaken, and larger eruptions occur.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "We thought we all were going to die': Walkers stranded at the top of a Japanese volcano forced to run for their lives as rocks and ash streamed down the side of the mountain" ~dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2771782/Seven-people-unconscious-eight-seriously-injured-Japanese-volcano-threatens-blow-top.html

Yellowstone Super Volcano Magnitude 3.1 and Another Quake NOT Reported Lava on the Move (Video) CONTRIBUTOR: Due Diligence. Sept 25 2014 More deception and lava on the move folks.  ~beforeitsnews.com~ 

Forecast from September 14, 2014: "this week, volcanoes are likely to rule, and Yellowstone National Park will become more magma-dangerous. However, flooding will continue to take center stage in many regions of the planet. Killer temperatures are also on the near horizon for some parts of the world.

Meanwhile, earthquakes, and quake swarms, escalate in number and  intensity worldwide. Also, America's Midwest region will likely shake, rattle, and roll during the next three months."  

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Over 600 Earthquakes Struck California in the Past 24 Hours – Oh – and There’s a Volcano, Too (video) ~ CONTRIBUTOR: The Daily Sheeple. Because sometimes raging wildfires followed by flash floods just aren’t enough for one state… Mammoth Mountain is a lava dome complex in the southwestern corner of the caldera..."

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "A large earthquake swarm is currently underway in Long Valley caldera, Mammoth Lake region of California U.S., east of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The swarm started on Thursday, September 25, 2014, and it is one of the largest earthquake swarms in this region in the past decade or so." ~thewatchers.adorraeli.com/2014/09/29/large-earthquake-swarm-rattles-long-valley-caldera-california-us~

"As the year 2014 ends, superstorm weather hits more frequently. Remember, dare to prepare. Further, CMEs from the sun lash the Earth's atmosphere, causing significant communication glitches."

Coming Out One Year Later as a Gay Transgender Man

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 year ago today my partner, John, and I came out together.  I made the announcement we were both gay, and I was a transgender man.  As a couple, we shared our now twenty-three year love affair with family, friends, and readers.  In addition, we allowed our private relationship  to become part of our public lives.  For those who have not had the opportunity to read my original coming out story, the post can found  at:  Coming Out as a Gay Transgender Man.

I still believe as I approach forty-one,  we have to be true to ourselves and openly live the life we are given.  As a writer and LGBTQ rights activist, I strive to be open and honest with my friends and readers across social media.  I am a direct and straight forward man who believes LGBTQ topics should be openly discussed.  Throughout this year, the words of Kurt Cobain still have had special meaning to me:  “I would rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.”

For  over two decades, my partner and I lived in fear.  We both had circumstances where coming out was impossible.  The fact we lived in a conservative part of the South contributed to our decision to remain in the closet.  In addition, we had a young family  which have always come first. John and I love our son and daughter dearly.  They are our biological children, conceived through artificial insemination, and I gave birth to them by C-section.  

Over the past twelve months, John and I have experienced many changes as a couple.  The first, and most important, was my legal name change to Andrew Kyle Jericho.  I will never forget my partner’s response, on September 5th, after I got off the phone with the circuit clerk’s office.  He put his arms around me and wept.  I am a firm believer that men can cry. While I don’t shed tears very often, I had a few that afternoon. After forty years, I can finally be recognized everywhere by a name that represents my gender identity. Others, outside of those who already called me Andrew, have to now by law. Also, whenever John and I are together in public, we are Andrew and John Jericho.

The name change also meant I was able to update my driver’s license at the DMV.  In Arkansas, residents can choose their gender without a legal gender change.  So, now I have a M on my license.   Elsewhere within the state, and on a federal level, that is not the case.  I quickly found out Social Security would update my name, but in order to change my gender marker I was handed a piece of paper with several requirements.  SSA requires either a passport with the new sex, amended birth certificate with the new gender, court-ordered gender change, or a letter from a doctor stating he believes the person in question is a transgender individual. Right now the most important thing is my name has been changed, and my gender marker is updated on my driver’s license. Soon, I will address changing my gender marker’s elsewhere.

The second change occurred in February.  I had a hysterectomy.  The  surgery was not only medically necessary, but  a procedure I needed to have done in order to feel more comfortable in my own skin. In addition, my reproductive history failed itself from the beginning.  The two children John and I created are true miracles.  I still firmly believe 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.  Also, it has been almost eight months since the surgery, and there has not been a day gone by where I have not been thankful I made the decision to have it done.  The only good thing the deformed, misplaced organ ever gave me was my children.  The rest of it’s existence in a body it did not belong in was filled with pain.   

The final change is I have been consulting with a plastic surgeon regarding top surgery.  The most recent visit was on September 9th.  We are on the same page in our definitions of “flat.”  He understands I desire a masculine chest.  While he is qualified to perform the procedure, he has not done any top surgeries on transgender men.  However, he believes he can do the surgery, and is going to consult with his colleagues on the matter.  I have another appointment on December 16th to hear his final thoughts.  If everything goes as planned, he would like me to have the surgery at the end of January, instead of early to mid-February.  My insurance prior authorization expires at the end of February, and he feels I need to have the procedure complete and on the road to recovery before that time.  

John and I are excited to live the second half of our lives openly as a gay couple. We are also thankful for the opportunity to share our story.  In addition, we hope our message will help others who might find themselves in similar situations.  I have always wanted to make a difference in the lives of others.  If I have touched the life of just one person, then my efforts have been worthwhile.  I can say from experience it does get better.

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

Wednesday's Words for September 24, 2014

I remember as if it were yesterday, the shock and trauma of going into the “Catheter Lab” at the hospital, to undergo angioplasty, and ending up being rushed in to surgery for a triple by-pass when the intended procedure went south. I awoke in recovery, intubated, and with the dawning realization of what had happened.

I came out of the hospital on Christmas Eve, 2002, with no earthly idea what would happen next. It was a slow and difficult recovery, likely made more so because who I had been—in my own mind—a woman who had always worked, always contributed, no longer existed.

My beloved told me straight off, that I was retired. I even recall how he worded it. He told me that all these years, I not only worked outside the home, but I had borne the burden of dealing with the children and doing nearly all of the housework. “That’s three jobs for more than twenty years which is enough by anyone’s standards.” When I asked him, “I’m only forty-eight. What am I going to do?” he replied as if it was the most logical thing in the world. He said I was going to do what I had always dreamed of doing, and work at being a writer.

Although I made it my goal to do just that, and to become published, I never actually believed it would happen. I knew I would write, and if I had never become published, I would be writing anyway.

Sometimes when I realize the scope of this career I now have, I am overwhelmed. My fortieth book has just been released by my publisher, and my readers number in the thousands. That’s not a boastful statement; it is a statement of awe.

I understand that even though for the first 52 years of my life I was not a published author, I was still a writer. I began writing when I was about 8 or 9, after the death of my father who, I didn’t know at the time, had also been a writer. I’ve often said that being a writer isn’t what I do but who I am. At my core, that is me. It is a definition that can be underlined by the way I view people and events; the way I think about things, which is vastly different than the way my non-writing family thinks and views things.

When you’re a writer at your core, it is to see everyone and everything through a particular prism as a part of the whole, a part that has its own unique story, with patterns and relationships, with hopes and dreams and even tragedies. You see these patterns repeated, time and time again, and are moved to try and communicate them, with the hope of touching people’s hearts.

I don’t mean to make it sound as if I am better than anyone else, because of course I’m not. I’m just me, trundling to the beat of my own obscure drummer. Definitely different, but not better.

Everything I have experienced in my life, for good or ill, has filled my well, the well from which I draw to create my stories. Yes, they are all under the umbrella of romance, and most of them, the smaller umbrella of erotic romance. But they are more than that stark definition, because they are stories about people.

I create fictional characters who deal with real life challenges. My characters aren’t perfect, though they are perfect for each other. But they are flawed, and make mistakes. What sets them apart is that they don’t give up.

Not giving up in life, I have learned through my own unique experiences, is key. And if you don’t give up, then what you end up doing, after you can no longer do what you’ve always done? That, my friends, is when the real adventure and joy of life begins.

Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #316

What now? I ask myself as my jet slows but buries herself deeper and deeper.  Automatically, the oxygen unit snaps on.

"Uh oh!" I mutter, watching a beam that has originated from the city. It widens and knifes through the sands toward us.

In moments, the beam latches onto my jet's tail. She begins to roll and fight.

"No," I say sharply. "Let them rescue us."

If it is a rescue? But I don't say that aloud. 

What should I prepare myself for? I silently ask. I take a large breath, and cast my psi mind along the tractor beam.

A man who looks like he stepped out of a Cleopatra movie -- only much more impressive in his physique -- appears before my mind's eye. "Welcome," he says.

Well, that's a damn positive sign, I think. Yet...

We stop moving and I hear a great whir of sound, as if we're entering a chamber. My gaze is glued on the monitor, and I observe what looks like towering temple pillars that are spaced a good distance apart.

Everything stops. The pearly haze clears away. From within my jet I stare at a grouping of women and men, who are bronze-skinned with various shades of henna-colored hair. All of them smile a welcome.

The men are far larger in size than the women. Beautifully dressed in Atlantean-Egyptian clothing, they wait patiently for me to emerge.

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

The Overthrow of the Global Overlords ... worldwide, the people revolt, wanting freedom from control, from corruption, and enforced poverty. This revolt will occur in great tidal waves, and will likely go tsunami in 2015.

On the AWAKENING front, another critical juncture is occurring for humankind. At this point, there are two cosmic forces in competition. Or, so it will appear.

Those who refuse the heart-opening energies of the Aquarian Age will shrivel inside, and become noticeably mean spirited. Whereas, those who embrace the 'living heart' from the galactic center ... they will expand in their ability to be loving, especially when connecting and bonding with others.

For, the very vibration of Love, in all of its aspects and expression, becomes the living glue that will bind us ALL together. This spiritual connection will guide and serve humanity toward building a paradise world. That is, as opposed to the Borg hive-mind currently being forced on the people by the dark-side controllers.

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' spin and fling forth the magickal power of Autumnal Equinox. With the mighty force of their lightblades, the Mages open portals of GOOD, of abundance, of ways for humankind to harvest these new, beneficent frequencies.

Meanwhile, the Viper magicians cast forth their doom and gloom *the world is about to go kaboom* magick. For, they attempt to shroud the bright promise of the Aquarian Age, to deceive the people into believing in the salvation of money and the material world.

On the personal front, walking a tightrope between two worlds and/or two diverse situations, becomes a reality for many this week. A new sense of how to balance your life could be the solution. Or, you may need to choose a side -- that which serves your highest heart and passions.

However, courage could be called for if you find yourself in a situation between doing the right thing or going along with an immoral situation. More and more, we will all be challenged to stand our ground, to be one of the BRAVE ONES in these tumultuous, challenging times.

On a good note, economic opportunities, although small, will show up. And this is your ticket for a better future.

On the paranormal front, as Earth timelines shift and combine, there will be an increase of odd creatures and beings who 'leak' through the thinning, opening barriers.  Also, there will be mysterious appearances of people, who then simply vanish from view.

Or, you may find yourself in an area you know well, that then has some differences. For example, a different store, another restaurant on the corner. No need to worry. All will resolve itself in a natural way.

On the land changes front, a momentous period of time ahead. Earthquakes jolt and jostle, especially along the ring of fire -- and California is in the crosshairs. Ocean superstorms will increase in size, strength, and destruction. Volcanoes continue to awaken spewing ever more ash into the atmosphere. Fireballs flash and light up the sky more often, and will increase during the year, 2015.

Also, flooding catastrophes become frequent over the next twelve months. This, while dangerous drought conditions spreads in other areas. However, California should see some relief shortly. This 'could' bring about major mudslides, so beware.

As well, firestorms continue to rage over the coming months, most of them due to hidden, unconscionable acts of arson.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Climate Change Forecast to Add Billions to Firefighting Costs ~ The roughly 12,000-acre King fire, which firefighters have battled all week east of Sacramento, is a harbinger of the type of fires to come, according to a recent report from academic and environmental groups. ~accuweather.com~

Further, be careful out there. Don't step in the sinkholes that will be opening. And, prepare for an early winter, which is likely in many areas, especially on the eastern seaboard.

FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE - The Doms of Sybaris Cove 3

I'm so pleased to announce a new release!! FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE is book 3 in my The Doms of Sybaris Cove series!!

You can read more about The Doms of Sybaris Cove on my WEBSITE, but for now, here is a brief overview...

Sybaris...

Founded in 720 BC by Achaean and Troezenian settlers, Sybaris amassed great wealth thanks to its fertile land and busy port. Its inhabitants became famous among the Greeks for their hedonism, feasts, and excesses, to the extent that "sybarite" and "sybaritic" have become bywords for opulent luxury and outrageous pleasure seeking.

The Doms of Sybaris Cove...

In the Gulf of Mexico, southwest of Timbalier Island, is a tropical paradise named Sybaris Cove. The original inhabitants of this island were escaped convicts from various Caribbean islands. They came to the island seeking refuge, but instead found greed and jealousy.

William and Robert Raleigh, brothers who made their fortune running rum and engaging in other illegal activities, hid out on the island in 1945. Taking advantage of the infighting among the natives, they began buying up land and laying down roots, promising the people of the island order and peace.

Instead, they were joined by cousins Agapito and Iago Durante, who were just as corrupt as the Raleigh brothers. The island soon became the private plaything of the Raleighs and Durantes, and the natives their servants. But the natives, who had brought with them a blend of voodoo, Santeria, and dark magic, had their own way of dealing with Robert, William, Agapito, Iago, and their sons.

The sons of both families started a mail order business, making and selling floggers, paddles, and other leather fetish toys. Phoebe's Playthings grew into a multi-million dollar corporation that the Raleigh and Durante ancestors now run from the island.

However, the male ancestors of William, Robert, Agapito, and Iago share more than their thriving business and paradise. If they try to leave the island, they die.

Someone put a curse on them, and no one knows where it originated, or how to break it, but they definitely know it's real...


BLURB for FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE:

[Siren Ménage Everlasting: Erotic Consensual BDSM Ménage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, spanking, flogging, wax play, sex toys, HEA]

Jade Augustine has grown up believing the lies that label her unsuitable for long-time crushes Liam Raleigh and Estevan Durante, even while both men have wanted to pursue a relationship with her. When the three are forced to ride out a hurricane in the safety of Liam’s house, play and sex soon turns to love.

But when the storm clears, reality tears apart their newfound love. Both men find themselves at odds with their own families, and with Jade’s bully of a brother, Santos, a Sybaris Cove police sergeant.

When Santos is trapped inside a storm drain at the ocean’s edge during a rescue attempt, Liam and Estevan join his rescue effort, despite the ancient curse that prevents the male Durantes and Raleighs from trying to leave the island.

Will they lose their own lives to save the man who is hell-bent on keeping them from being with the only woman they’ve ever loved?

Love at First Sight: Caught on Camera Available Now

Caught On Camera

Destiny Blaine

Published by Siren-Bookstrand

Love at First Sight, Book One—A series of LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT romances, all of which stand alone

Blurb

Bailey Chapman isn’t looking for love but when Nick Palmani shows up at a bonfire and starts pursuing her, she notices. Soon, the two are grinding out their passionate fantasies. Unbeknownst to the couple, the entire episode is caught on camera.

Nick Palmani knows Bailey possesses that special spark, but when he discovers Bailey’s father owns the farm where he’ll soon work, things are complicated. After a night of passion is caught on camera and the entire groping session goes viral, he isn’t too certain of his job security. He’s more concerned about Bailey and how her life will soon spin out of control.

  

Fearing Bailey will do whatever necessary to pacify her family and avoid unattractive labels, Nick whisks her away to an undisclosed location. Soon, secrets are revealed in front of an interested public and Bailey and Nick must decide if they can move forward together or find a way to leave their explosive past behind.

Excerpt:

“Your father seems like a nice fella,” Nick said, never cracking a smile.

“Oh yeah? Wait until you meet my mother. She’s a real gem.”

“And you think I’ll meet her sometime in the next few minutes?”

“Got somewhere you need to be?”

“You might say that.” Nick massaged the back of his neck, acting positively amused.

“You think this is funny?”

“No, Bailey. I don’t. I didn’t drive five hundred miles for the career start I’ve been dreaming of only to have the farmer’s daughter screw me over by luring me to her bed.”

“I don’t want to hear about it,” she said flippantly. “I knew you were a player. If somebody jumped your bones after you and I were through, that’s between the two of you. I don’t want to know anything about it.”

He stared at her blankly.

“And you apparently lost your way more than once if you landed here instead of wherever you’re supposed to be.” She sat on top of her dad’s desk, wishing he’d hurry up. Whatever he was saying to Stacy and her brother must’ve been along the lines of a good old-fashioned sermon. Before long the handkerchief would come out.

“Are you in denial?” Nick rose to his feet and stalked her. “I mean are you so involved in your little fantasies and daydreams that you can’t get a real grip on reality here?”

“I have a fine grip on reality. Thank you very much.” She glanced down at that thick bulge in his jeans and nearly came thinking about how he’d groaned at her ear when she’d wrapped her hand around him the night before. Moistening her lips she stared at his crotch and said, “I’m actually surprised you don’t remember.”

“Oh, I remember all right.” He released a guttural growl and studied her for a long time before he added, “You don’t know.”

“I don’t know what?”

“You don’t have the faintest idea what’s going on here.”

She crossed one leg over the other. “I’m a lot of things. Stupid I’m not. You obviously drove cross country for employment—probably somewhere like over at Melanie Shaffer’s place—and somehow pulled in our driveway by mistake. You’re the one who announced we’d had a thing, a fling. Now, my dad will probably call her dad to warn her that some…some older guy…is coming on to his daughter and Shaffer better lock his up.” She studied her fingernails and that’s when it hit her. “Oh my God. You weren’t talking about Melanie or the Shaffers. Were you?”

Wednesday's Words for September 17, 2014

We spent a few days this past week, visiting our friends in Pennsylvania. Over the last few years this has become an annual event for us, although we had to miss out last year. We’d been set to go but then the gentleman, who’d retired from one career, had decided to embark upon another. This trip, our daughter accompanied us—the first time for her since she went with us in 2006. We also took Mr. Tuffy, too.

We were grateful to have our daughter on hand as we had never, ever taken a trip with a pet and weren’t sure what to expect.

There were a couple of reasons that Tuffy got to be a traveling dog. First reason, of course, was that after having seen pictures of the little guy, our friend, John, wanted to meet him. And second, we needed to know if traveling with the dog was something we’d be able to do, since it’s our hope to begin taking the coldest two months of our year—January and February—down where the weather is warmer, likely in Texas.

It’s always good when you can get together with old friends. That reunion is sweeter when the time in between is unexpectedly longer. Despite fervent use of the Internet and all forms of modern means of communication, nothing beats being face to face with good friends.

We were happy that our favorite hotel was also one of two pet friendly hotels in the area. We’d booked a two room suite a few months ago. At the time, I did something that I thought was likely pure silliness and a waste of the few dollars extra per night: I arranged for us to have a suite with a fireplace in it.

As it turned out, no silliness at all, as the weather took a bit of a chill while we were there. It was an actual gas fireplace, and worked on a timer – you could choose five minutes to thirty minutes and it threw out quite a nice heat.

We didn’t, this time, indulge in sightseeing. Previous trips found us traveling all over, which I considered as doing research on the area. There’s a rich history in Northeastern Pennsylvania; coal country, the area is dotted with “patch towns”, settlements born of the mining industry that boomed in centuries past, as man sought to extract the anthracite coal from the veins that run so richly there. 

We’ve visited Eckley Miner’s Village, an authentic patch town where the movie, The Molly Maguires was filmed in 1969. We’ve been to Jim Thorpe, and the haunted jail. We got out and read the plaque near the site of the Lattimer Mine Massacre in September of 1897. We also visited the sad site of the former town of Centralia, where an underground fire still burns.

On past visits we’ve toured the Mid-Atlantic Airplane Museum, in Reading, the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, the state’s capital, Steamtown, USA an extensive railway museum, in Scranton, and two mines: The Lackawanna Mine, also in Scranton, and the Number 9 Coal Mine and Museum, in Lansford.

Here I must confess that I did not accompany my beloved and our friend John underground. The only other place where I felt a complete and total inability to accompany him while on vacation was the tour of the engine room on the USS Yorktown at Patriot’s Point Naval Museum in Charleston Harbor.

Wherever we went, our friend provided knowledgeable commentary. We’ve come to know the area, and some of the people there quite well. We could see definite signs of economic recovery since our last visit, and that was a good thing to witness.

And Mr. Tuffy, I am so proud to report, behaved like a true gentleman the entire time. He was well behaved in the car, friendly with the people he met, and very much like us, in that while he enjoyed himself, he was very happy to come home again.

He’s happy to be back to his normal daily routines, like dozing on my computer desk, as I write these words.

Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #315

At a ferocious clip, we slide mere feet above the desert floor, the battleship in hot pursuit. When it gains, I give the mental okay to her, and my jet stops in midair.

The dark-side's triangular craft overshoots our position. Meanwhile, we spear inside an enormous sand dune.

Immediately, the underground city appears on the monitor.

"Oh. My. Gawd." My jaw hangs open. I snap it shut quick. It's true, what Dhuroth has told me about vast underground living areas from the Age of Atlantis. Not that I doubted him.

But seeing is now believing.

What now? I ask myself as my jet slows but buries herself deeper and deeper.  Automatically, the oxygen unit snaps on.

"Uh oh!" I mutter, watching a beam that has originated from the city. It widens and knifes through the sands toward us.

In moments, the beam latches onto my jet's tail. She begins to roll and fight.

"No," I say sharply. "Let them rescue us."

If it is a rescue? But I don't say that aloud. 

TO BE CONTINUED...

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

Worldwide Rebellion... the 'Watch Words' for the final months of 2014.

Now Scotland rises as the freedom fighters heard 'round the world. Massive protest continues to erupt in Spain, and the country will likely split apart into independent regions at some point in the future.

Further, this flares up again: what has been called the Iceland disease -- or throwing out the bankster gangsters and taking back the government. This overthrow of the corrupt financial system will likely explode in the central European countries.

On the AWAKENING front, now it gets 'too' interesting in the human population overall, as the new cosmic frequencies intensify by a hundredfold. Those who are able to handle this superspeed spiritual frequency, and those who can adapt, will do their best to assist others.

However, a type of madness could overtake some, as they will feel like they are floundering and unable to save themselves. Also, spurts of bizarre behavior are likely in day-to-day life, given many will feel as if they are drowning in a storm-raging sea.

Calming them in natural ways, with music, and with herbs used for relaxation will be helpful. Also, at this time, extra nutrition is one key to dealing with these high, high GOOD vibrations.

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' seek to reveal the wicked underbelly of the Viper-beast system that has ruled over humankind for ages. While these 'revelations' will be mind-blasting, and often soul-shocking, the Mages will be saturating the energetic field with their healing, loving magick.

At this cosmic juncture, prepare to live in a whole new way. Old destructive ways of thought, of insidious programming, is being gradually lifted away. Whenever this 'divine sunlight' breaks through in your life, embrace it, and move forward with a smile.

On the personal front, cleaning everything in sight, or cleaning as the mood strikes you, will likely hit many of us for the next month's time. Not only will this help in preparing your domicile for the winter months, but it is also symbolic of cleaning and clearing out your mental closet. This is all to the GOOD.

Also, this is a fabulous time to rearrange certain aspects of your life. Go full steam ahead toward whatever changes you want to make. If there are blocks, just take a step back, give it some time, then determine how to approach the situation.

As always, keep an eagle's eye on your finances at this time.

Further, the paranormal is likely to become part of your life in new ways, regardless of whether you believe or don't believe... and whether you've had no experiences or many such 'high strangeness' experiences.

On the paranormal front, the time of the Time Travelers is Here... now, more than ever in recent history, time travelers will make themselves known to many of us who embrace studying the supernatural realms of life. Or, those of us with the eyes to see, and the ears to listen.

Now, this will only increase... from a prior forecast: December 8, 2013 ~ Angelic Forecast ~ #275 "...the time travelers now arrive in huge numbers. This could feel like a jerkiness in the way life flows, and will show up on the world stage as near-instant reversals in some policies. This is because alterations are being made that will be beneficial in the long scheme of TIME.

Also, the Time Wars wind down, and several timelines are being joined together for the sake of ALL."

As well, eyes to the sky, keep a watch out for Cloud UFOs.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Cloaked Cloud Craft UFO’s… What / Who Is In Our Skies…
As a Chemtrail activist I have been videoing the skies over the Antelope Valley, Ca. since mid 2011. Early in 2012, I began noticing strange anomalies in and around bizarre looking cloud formations that just didn’t seem like they belonged in the sky. I soon came to the “insane opinion” these anomalies in and around these clouds resembled triangular craft of various sizes that were emitting some type of cloud like material and interacting with Chemtrail aerosol spraying . The signatures of these craft could be seen but I could not see anything that looked like a solid object, until recently…" ~thetruthdenied.com/news/2014/09/10/cloaked-cloud-craft-ufos-what-who-is-in-our-skies~

On the land changes front, CHANGE is the watchword. Now more Volcanoes awaken, and larger eruptions occur.

HEADLINE: "Incredible Footage Of An Explosive Volcanic Eruption Captured in New Guinea" ~earthweareone.com/incredible-footage-of-an-explosive-volcanic-eruption-captured-in-new-guinea~

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Iceland’s Bardarbunga volcano sulfur fumes now bothering people 800 miles away
While Thyness said the fumes themselves aren’t something that will endanger the public in Norway, the Iceland Review said residents in eastern Iceland have complained about sore throats, stinging eyes and headaches. The news agency said families were told to avoid being outside for long periods of time, particularly children and people with respiratory illnesses. Bjorn Saevar Einarsson, a meteorologist at the Icelandic Met Office, points to a satellite image that clearly shows how far the concentration of sulfur pollution has traveled." ~theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2014/09/13/icelands-bardarbunga-volcano-sulfur-fumes-now-bothering-people-800-miles-away~

HEADLINE: "Two Indonesian volcanoes undergo multiple eruptions – evacuations ordered" 

Forecast from two weeks ago: "this week, volcanoes are likely to rule, and Yellowstone National Park will become more magma-dangerous. However, flooding will continue to take center stage in many regions of the planet. Killer temperatures are also on the near horizon for some parts of the world.

Meanwhile, earthquakes, and quake swarms, escalate in number and  intensity worldwide. Also, America's Midwest region will likely shake, rattle, and roll during the next three months.

As the year 2014 ends, superstorm weather hits more frequently. Remember, dare to prepare. Further, CMEs from the sun lash the Earth's atmosphere, causing significant communication glitches."

On the truth front, The Medieval History 'they' Don't Want You to Know ... or the first recorded history of how and when the 'military industrial complex' was begun, then set into motion. Think the Templars, the Vatican, and the Crusades.

BLURB: "New on Dreamland: Joseph Farrell - The Secret Machineries of Our World ~ Thrice-Great Hermitica and the Janus Age. What can that mean? How does it relate to the way power works in our world? Joseph Farrell goes deep into the underworlds of power in this explosive interview. He starts by explaining to us what the Janus Age means, then goes on to describe the all-important structures beneath the surface of our world that make it what it is. Why are we always off balance while a wealthy few seem to get richer and richer on the shoulders of the rest of us? ~unknowncountry.com/dreamland/latest~

Out of the Attic with Steam Toys by Destiny Blaine

Steampunk was the topic on deck today at Love Romances Cafe so I dropped by to post a couple of clips from Steam Toys and thought I'd leave one here, too. This novella was originally published in 2010 and Siren Publishing published the second edition in 2012. The scene below takes place in a crowded Las Vegas restaurant. Edward, our hero, is having dinner with his leading lady, but he isn't convinced she's a ghost. 

I hope you enjoy this excerpt.

“They think you’re crazy now, don’t they?” Heidi asked, using her long fingernails to rake breadcrumbs off the blue linen tablecloth.

Edward couldn’t take his eyes off her. In fact, he’d barely heard a word she’d said until the waiter returned. “Is everything all right, Mr. Brady?”

“Yes, fine. Thank you,” he replied, hoping to dismiss the young man right away.

The waiter made a pointed indication at the untouched plate directly across from Edward’s. “Will your guest be joining you later for dinner?”

Edward met her gaze. Heidi shrugged. “Up to you, sugar. I spent my entire life being every man’s dirty little secret. No reason for you to be the exception. As a reminder, no one else can see me.”

“That will be all,” Edward deadpanned, reaching across the table.

The waiter took a moment to stare down at the open space separating the dinner plates. Edward watched Heidi, faintly aware of the man towering over them. “Yes?” he asked, looking up abruptly.

The waiter studied the empty chair across from Edward and then shrugged. He walked away moments later shaking his head and mumbling, “Money and madness go hand in hand in Las Vegas.”

Heidi squeezed his fingers. “You’re a thoughtful fellow, Edward, but trust me. I’ve ruined many a man’s reputation. You’re considered a genius in this town. You don’t want this city to turn its back on you right now. You’re on the verge of something great, and I want to come along for the ride.” She slid her arm under the table and touched his knee. “And I want a lot of rides with you, Edward.”

He was ready to negotiate the terms.

“You do?” Edward asked, engaging himself in what must’ve looked like an odd, one-sided conversation. By the time he realized what he was doing, half the restaurant’s customers were turning around, staring at him with marked curiosity.

Heidi tilted her head toward some of the patrons. “You’re seated at a table for two. You requested a couple of wine glasses. Two meals have been served. This seat is vacant, and you’re holding a hand that doesn’t exist.” She looked down at their entwined fingers. “Your thumb is jerking as if you’re massaging my wrist. You don’t think this is newsworthy for the Las Vegas Lifestyle Magazine?”

“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” Edward admitted. “If I can see you, then they must.”

“No, Edward,” she said, standing.

He stood, too, as a polite gesture.

“I don’t exist in their world. You’re the only one who can see me.”

“Then I’m one lucky guy.”

Heidi held her shoulders back. A quick tilt of her head sent ringlets tumbling across her shoulders. “That depends on who you ask at the moment. In public situations like this, I recommend that you listen and let me do the talking. Some here are ruthless snakes when it comes to tearing down a man’s reputation, especially one like yours. They’ll be anxious to poke fun at the crazy man, the gentleman who inevitably will catch the adoring eyes of their women because of his deep pockets.”

“What’s that mean, exactly?”

“You’re about to make millions, the kind of money this city hasn’t seen since the days of Howard Hughes, and you’re acting as crazy as Hughes himself.”

“I’m not hungry,” he told her, feeling like he’d known her at another point and time in his life. “I want to take you home and—”

“And what, Edward? Get to know me?”

“Yes.”

She took a deep breath. “Oh for heaven’s sake, sit down and finish your meal and then meet me at the curb. As long as you’re looking at me like I’m dessert, there’s no way you’ll enjoy your dinner. Besides, you’re drawing too much attention.”

“I would think someone in your line of work craves center stage,” he pointed out, snapping at her.

Heidi leaned forward. “Careful, Edward, the patrons are staring now.”

“I don’t care,” he said, tossing his napkin aside and following her through the restaurant. “You think I don’t know what this is about?”

“I doubt it,” she answered, never breaking her stride. “If you had any idea what I need from you, I don’t think you’d risk your reputation and follow a ghost out of the hottest dining spot in the city.”

“What do you mean by that? What do you want from me?”
