Translated means ‘We are all related’. It’s a wonderful world we live in and for those of you who are in tune with what I’m talking about here is another great quote: ‘He who is one step ahead is a genius; he who is two steps ahead is a crack pot!’ I have borrowed this sentiment from a Native American prophecies website entitled Prophecy Keepers or go to www.prophecykeepers.com It is a fascinating place to spend some thoughtful time about the oncoming 2012 prophecies with a bit of a different context. I would be negligent if I didn’t also mention the book American Indian Prophecies by Kurt Kaltreider, Ph.D. and is available on Kindle ebooks for $1.99. If you are at all interested in this subject, take a look at these items and be informed from many different philosophers and enjoy discussions on this important topic.
Carl Johan Calleman
Hollywood has presented several movies concerning the end of the world as identified by the end of the Mayan calendar. Check out Jon Cusack’s movie 2012, or the Christian Apocalyptic movie 2012 Doomsday. But when does the calendar actually end? According to Carl Johan Calleman, it ended on October 28, 2011. The worst is over folks. And now the rest is up to humanity to forge its future based on the unity of consciousness. Check out his website if you have the time – www.calleman.com It makes for a very interesting read.
Ghostly Matters
As an author, working on my second installment in the Paige Maddison trilogy, I thought I would give a preview of what’s in store for the readers:
Strolling absent-mindedly along the pebbled path I was not conscious of where I was going until I looked up to the second storey window of the guest house and saw a figure staring down, watching me. Assuming it was Dexter, I ran in through the double wooden doors and called his name. Desperately needing to speak to him I continued down the hallway to the stairs and as I climbed them, I walked through a freezing cold wall. Sensing I was in trouble, I quickly repeated the protection prayer whispering it to myself as fast as I could. When I reached the top stair, there at the end of the hallway stood a long-legged man in a black robe and wide brimmed hat. He had the most piercing yellow-green eyes and was visibly shocked when he noticed I could see him. His eyes widened. I felt immediately nauseated like someone had just punched me in the gut and realized I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. As if in slow-motion, he raised his wickedly skinny right arm and pointed one long, crooked finger at me. Initially, I could not determine if he was threatening me or telling me to leave. However, that line of thinking quickly dissipated as he started to move towards me as if on an escalator. Paralyzed with fear and conscious it was beyond my control, I could not swallow or breathe. As he slowly moved past me, I was unable to turn my head to see where he had disappeared to. When it was over, I collapsed onto the stairs clammy and shakey. Perhaps Hanna and Grandpa’s fears were real on devil’s night?
Feedback is always appreciated! Thank you. 🙂
Happiness vs Haters
Is it really true?! There are some people that do not like nor understand happy people? I could not believe the news tonight discussing how many facebook pages are making other people unhappy. It really stopped me in my tracks and made me think, why? I, very naively, have believed that when someone is happy, we should be happy for them. And when you are happy for someone else, it actually makes you feel positive and share in their happiness. And to take it a step further, you actually feel good inside. It’s only my opinion, but to me, there are two ways to choose to live life. Happy or unhappy. I choose to live happily no matter what happens. I’ve almost died twice, suffered from bankruptcy in my family, lost many family members and have probably been judged for choosing to be happy. A little piece of advice, if I may: We are here on this earth for a blip in time so why choose to be a pain to everyone around you? You are only hurting yourself in the process and when you enter the room and notice others are leaving, trust me, they are choosing not to be around the unhappy, jaded, or depressing person. I choose to have a purpose in life, I choose to be happy, and I choose to make sure that people in my company do not suffer from my bad attitude. How do I do this? Easy. Firstly, everything that happens is NOT about me; secondly, I wake up each day and say aloud, ‘who do I get to help or make laugh today?; and thirdly, though it takes effort, to look at events and set-backs in a positive light – ie. what can I learn from this bad situation. It’s worth the work! I’d like to emphasize, every person has tough times, baggage, health problems, or relationship troubles sometime through-out their life. Happy people choose to overcome their struggles and work until they find a solution possibly with the help from family and friends or professional help. Thought for the week. 🙂
EGO

When we act from EGO, we are not considering the feelings of those surrounding us, be it at work, or in our homes or at a social engagement. Live from the heart and reflect on words or actions and how it impacts on other peoples’ lives. Come from a place of pure LOVE and you will be a genuine success! Just a thought as we go into the month of December. Happy decorating!
The Writer’s Life
For those of you who are thinking of writing fiction, I thought I would share a bit about my approach, though it may seem a bit unusual. However, I do like to encourage others to step outside of their comfort zones and do something different. When I begin in the morning, which is the best time for me to write as I am fresh for the day, I have to play music. It is the central inspiration for my books. The second novel illustrating Paige Maddison’s journey is not only once again battling ghosts but has a big surprise element. Muse’s song Uprising is a great inspiration! The words and the beat get me pumped up to sit and write. Make sense? Enjoy the first snowfall to my fellow Canadians. 🙂 Lee
Paige Maddison
I wanted to thank all of the readers of my blog and facebook pages for your genuine support and words of encouragement. I truly appreciate it! One of the main reasons why I started writing is to help people and especially teens to share a deeper understanding of the spiritual side of life. The trilogy was originally intended for teens to help them understand the many layers to the world, but many adult readers have found it intriguing as evident by the reviews on amazon.com and comments on this site. I’ve had many readers ask ‘how can I contribute to your cause’ and my response is: buy my first ebook and this helps to keep me motivated to write more books but also to contribute to my blog. Presently, I am writing the second installment in this trilogy and am sad to say, I will not be able to blog as much but please keep looking as I will try to post 1-2 times per week. In the meantime, I hope I’ve left an impression to be open-minded about this wonderful universe we live in and perhaps it’s helped a bit in your lives. And on that last note, I will leave you with this. Have you seen William Shatner’s documentary called ‘The Captains’? (recently released on DVD) I’m sure most of you may know him as Star Trek’s original Captain James T. Kirk. I grew up with this series and of course it touched on varying facets of the universe. If you are indeed interested in how the universe works and about spirits and the afterlife make sure you watch it to the very end of this intriguing true life tale put together by Shatner. BTW he also attended McGill University, as our son does, and he is a proud Canadian! Thank you! Lee
Miracles in Life
So it’s Halloween and I’ve decided to reveal a bit of insight into how my life works. A year ago, my husband and I moved to Orillia, one of the biggest moves a couple could make in their mid-life. But this is how cool life is. At that time, my sister helped us to unpack in our new home which was a great help. And exactly a year to the day, later, we helped my sister pick up her rescue dog in Montreal and moved her into my sister’s home. How cool is that?! Pay it forward, folks, and life will be positive and interesting. Thank you to my sister!
Happy Halloween!
It’s my favourite day of the year, outside of Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I wanted to say enjoy the day! I love the energy on Halloween with the excitement of the younger kids anticipating the candy they will get and what kind will it be and what will the other kids wear. You gotta love it. It is all about the kids. And for the older teens who still go out, I love that too! You’re never too old to want to relive a part of your childhood. And on this day I wanted to thank all of the readers who respond to my posts. I came home from Montreal last night and had an overwhelming number of comments on my posts congratulating me on my blog and how many of you continue to read it regularly. I write from the heart about what I am interested in and so many of you have moved me to tears on your responses. THANK YOU! I do get asked quite often ‘what do you do when someone takes and uses your posts on their blog’. Nothing. I figure if people want to ‘borrow’ from my website, at least they are spreading the word around. I take it as a compliment and know the content originated with me. I only write original posts from my research, readings, or on my thoughts. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy Halloween!
WINNER OF SECOND CONTEST FOR WAKE ME UP INSIDE
Congratulations, Nikki Holmes! Nikki won the contest which included answers to the following questions: How many rooms and where is the secret room in O’Brien Manor? What conquered Conall’s evil heart? Nikki answered: Morning Lee, here are my answers: 62 rooms plus one is 63 – secret room is to the right of the attic room and Conall’s evil heart was conquered by the appearance of his mother and her explanation of the truth of what happened to his father and their family home. Well done, Nikki! And as you may already know – the truth shall set us free. Nikki won a gift card from Tim Horton’s, a signed, framed cover of the ebook Wake Me Up Inside, sketched by my sister Cindy Slipacoff, and a handcrafted Himalayan salt crystal lamp from the Salt Mines which neutralizes the air by creating negative ions. Just a little something for the reader – a cup of tea from Timmie’s, the sketch of the book to look at and positive energy to breathe. Ahhhhh! Thanks for entering Nikki and Congratulations again!
