<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">I bet you thought I was abducted by aliens. Wouldn't that be a hoot. I am sorry that I haven’t posted in a while on this blog. I
do try to keep up with TV and film reviews on <a href="https://gilbertspeaks.wordpress.com/">Gilbert Speaks</a>, but there is
so much going on in my life. It's all good.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">I’ve been a bit lax on finishing the fifth and
final book of my <a href="https://gilbertcuriosities.blogspot.com/p/book-apocalyptic-tale.html">Roof Oasis Series</a>. Don’t worry, my characters are hounding me
to finish their story, and I will have the book done after I return from my
trip to Greece and Italy in October.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">It is hard trying to juggle the many sides of me. I am
an author and a blogger, but I am also a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Marie-Gilberts-Spiritual-Musings-in-a-Physical-World-279254232410671/?ref=bookmarks">Psychic/Medium</a> with a respectable
following, and most nights of the week I am out doing psychic events. Last
year, I was certified in Basic Integrated Energy Therapy Healing (IET) and this
year I was certified in both Transformation and Cognitive Behavior Life
Coaching. My goal is to introduce life-coaching methods into my readings for my
clients. I felt it was more important to help the soul sitting in front of me
than to connect with the souls who have returned to GOD. The dead are quite
happy and safe…it is the living that need to be protected and comforted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">This year I was fortunate to meet another psychic
medium who wanted to join forces in order to reach more people. Renice and I
started our own business, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Angel-Connections-with-Renice-and-Marie-355825185216125/">Angel Connections</a>. You can find us on Facebook, and
check out our event page to see where you can find us for a reading. Renice and
I will also continue with our private readings for those of you who need more
than a 20 minute reading.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">As you can see, I have been very busy, and my blogging
and writing suffered, but I intend to spend equal time on all my loves from now
on. Lilith’s Tribe will pick up five years after Warriors in the Mist. Planet
Earth is slowly healing. The demons are back in hell where they belong, and
peace has returned to the surviving nations. Things should be great. Right? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a new enemy heading towards Earth,
and it’s up to Patty and her tiny army to make sure they have enough help to
defeat this new adversary.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">On Sunday night at 10:45 p.m., our eldest dog,
Godzilla, passed away. </span><a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">It was unexpected even though Godzilla had battled
serious ailments since he was four years old. I remember that day twelve years
ago when my husband, my youngest of nine grandchildren, Nathan, and myself
traveled to Northeast Philly to a private home to pick out a Chihuahua from the
litter. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Godzilla was definitely the smartest puppy in the
litter, and he knew exactly who to win over. This puppy was small enough to fit
in the palm of my husband’s hand, but Nathan instinctively knew that this puppy
was destined to be famous (at least in our family and neighborhood). Nathan,
without asking our advice, proudly announced that the puppy we were taking home
would forever be known as Godzilla-Wonder Dog- Super Pet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Godzilla lived up to his name because even though he
was tiny, his bark could match the intensity of the king German Shepard owned
by my friend and neighbor, Rita. It was comically to see these two beloved pets
challenge each other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The first time Godzilla got sick was eight years ago
when dog food which included meats coming from China had seriously made pets
sick with some pets dying. Godzilla survived this battle only to be diagnosed a
few months later with lymphoma. Our veterinarian only gave Godzilla 18 months
to live even with the chemo treatments. But like the powerful creature that
rose from the sea in those Japanese films from the 1950s, Godzilla conquered
cancer with flying colors.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Over the years, our little guy battled many other
ailments, but he never complained, and he remained that perky little dog that
we fell in love with. The grandkids thought of him as a brother, and even
though we have two other dogs: Snowflake (All white Chihuahua) and LeLe (toy
Yorkie), Godzilla was the family and neighborhood favorite. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">This past year, Godzilla began dealing with incontinence
and was forced to wear a diaper, which he did his best to hide them whenever
possible. He would have made Houdini proud. My husband and I are not sure if
Godzilla’s cancer returned, but before we could have him tested, our little guy
had a stroke. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Our little guy died in our arms and with both his
sisters close by. I know that he is still here in the house, and for those of
you who know that I am a psychic/medium, you will believe me when I say that
his spirit is constantly visiting from the other side. We will miss our little
guy, who although tiny, had a big name and a big heart. <br />
Love you, Godzilla. R.I.P.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">I was sickly as a child,
but whenever I spent the week with my grandmother, she could stop the pains in
my stomach just by laying her hands on me and praying. The pains would
eventually return after a week, but another visit with grandmom would always do
the trick until the next attack. My mother once told me that grandmom had a special
connection to angels. I believe this because there was always a golden glow emanating
from my beloved grandmother every time she did one of her healings. Grandmom
would lay her hands on my head and pray, then she would lay her hand on my
tummy. I watched silently as grandmom, eyes closed and rosary beads in hand,
would pray in Italian. After twenty minutes, my pain would disappear. Not only
was I able to eat, but I was able to keep it down. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The apostles loved and
followed Jesus. They were his friends. They spent many years with him. This
connection to Source enabled them to perform miracles. Miracles were common in
both the Old and New Testaments. In modern times, many saints, due to their
connection to Source, were able to heal the sick. This is all fine and good if
you happen to be an apostle or a saint, but what about the average person. Can
we, in this tech-savvy modern world, heal others and ourselves? I believe that God
gives us everything we need to survive in this world, even the ability to heal
ourselves mentally, spiritually, and physically. Some people will credit strong
will, or mind over matter…but I believe miracles happen because of our
connection to Source.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

GilbertCuriosities Blog know that I am a psychic/medium. I have been seeing the
dead ever since I was a toddler. This gift runs in the family, and I inherited
my abilities from my grandparents on both sides, and from both of my parents. I
published the first book of my sci-fi apocalyptic Roof Oasis Series in 2014…but
the plot was based on prophetic dreams that I’ve had since childhood. Can dreams
warn us of future events? Find out after the jump.</span><a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The title of the first book
describes a place of sanctuary where one of the major characters in the series
travels, via portal, with her alien lover. Lucy and her brother Michael live in
the near future where a powerful man is able to take control of all the food
and water. In this future, children are forcibly taken from their parents at an
early age. The children are then raised as slaves for the government. The
environment has been destroyed because of large-scale fracking and mining
projects okayed by the World Bank. The bees and butterflies are extinct and the
oceans are cesspools. </span></div>

apocalypse when he attempts to use bio-warfare to control the minds of the
populace. Help for Earth comes from an alien race with the help of a kick ass
robot, shape shifters, and a goddess trapped inside a human’s mind. I’m working
on book five, and this book will end the series with Earth fighting a new alien
enemy. Patty the robot will need to decide if her desire to be flesh outweighs

series is that I am very troubled by what I see with this present
administration. I’ve seen this before…in my dreams…even the children in cages.
I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only writer connecting to this message of a
totalitarian take over. In fact, there have been many books written about this
very scenario: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“1984” by George Orwell; “The
Hunger Games” Series by Suzanne Collins; “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret
Atwood. Did these authors have the same prophetic dreams as I did? Do the dead
speak to them?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

although his recorded date is 1915 because the midwife waited a few months to
record the birth with City Hall, only completed the sixth grade because of
health reasons. He may not have gone to college, but Fred kept himself well
informed in global affairs because he was an avid reader of newspapers. He even
read newspapers from other countries in order to get a more accurate view of
real events. When I would tell my dad about the dreams, he believed me. It wasn’t
until later in his life that he admitted he’d been having the same dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

when GOD warned the Magi not to report back to Herod about Jesus. Sometimes the
prophecy doesn’t occur immediately. Sometimes, that prophecy takes a lifetime

attack would come from within. The dead don’t lie. You’ll have to take my word
on this, but I have never been told a lie by the spirits who come with heavenly

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am so excited that my humorous memoir about the two ghosts in my attic is finally done. I did a big book launch this past Saturday, and everyone who bought a book have been telling me just how funny it is. It is a tribute to my parents and growing up in South Philly during the 50's and 60's. Here is the interview. Thank you <a href="https://www.wellnesswithelsie.com/">Elsie Kerns</a> for doing this.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This reading is perfect for today’s
world. Every one of us starts our day hitting the ground running. Life becomes
a blur as we rush from one choir to another. The only way we keep in contact
with friends and family is by texting. No one makes eye contact because we are
chained to our cell phones. Depression in on the rise, tempers flare, and…a
butterfly flits past unnoticed. What the heck are we doing to ourselves.</span></div>

you, I am not preaching to you because I am the biggest offender. My daughter calls me “Zoom

work is no good for us. We need to accept help from others. Stress can make us
sick and, if we don’t tend to our health…stress can kill us. On our jobs, we
might not have a choice because the boss wants what the boss wants, but when we
are home, we call the shots. Do what you can, then let the unimportant stuff
slide. No one is going to remember if your carpets were vacuumed every day, but
they will definitely remember that you took the time to be with them. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

that the feeling of entrapment might be of our own making. Stop focusing on
material stuff and reconnect to spirit. When we become robotic in our motions,

enjoy life by becoming one with spirit, nature, and loved ones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to me. Wash away the old, and bring in the new. What good is working yourself
to death if your spiritual and emotional growth become stunted? We need to stop

our control, our home life can be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

quiet in spirit. Spend time in meditation and self-discovery. Go for
a walk with your family after dinner. Play board games instead of video games.
Simplify your life and allow only the peace and calm that comes from a balanced
way of living.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">I have done many psychic
readings, and the most prominent complaint from my clients is the feelings of
powerlessness. They won’t even attempt to buck the system because they feel
that they are not important enough, or worthy enough to cause a change. What if
I told you that we are as powerful as the angels?</span><a name='more'></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>The Power of the Soul<o:p></o:p></strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The Creator is LOVE, and
in the form of love, the Creator is all-powerful. We are the children of GOD,
which means that our souls are more powerful than the angels themselves, but
that is only while we are in heaven. It is while we inhabit these human forms,
that we forget our power. It is this connection to Earth, while alive, that
puts us in conflict with the spiritual. We forget our origins. We forget that
our mission is to be like GOD. There are people that only know hatred,
prejudice and greed. They trick us into thinking we are weak in order to
control us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Why do we so easily
surrender our power, our worth? I haven’t figured this out yet, but I know that
very young children (while they are still young enough to hang on to their
memories of heaven) definitely know their worth and their power…as any parent
of a two-year-old having a temper tantrum will attest to. However, as our memories
of heaven fade, so does our reality. Let’s change this now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">We are extensions of the
source, as Frank Mares wrote in his book, “Soul Mates-A Psychic Love Affair.
The Source/GOD/Love is: all-knowing, all-patient, all-forgiving, and all-powerful.
To change how we treat people, and how they treat us, we first need to remember
that we are all divine souls that are temporarily inhabiting this body. Can we dehumanize
a fellow human knowing that by hurting this human, who is another child of GOD,
we are in fact attacking GOD? Can anyone other than GOD take away our power?
Then angels have the answers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>Three of Air</strong>: Great
sadness. Take time to heal. The need to forgive yourself and others. Most
times, it is during childhood that we are convinced to hand over our power. This
isn’t done maliciously, and it is usually our parents, teachers, or
grandparents just trying to get us to conform to what is the proper way to
behave. Their intent should never be to break our spirit. If are spirits were
broken, we need to heal and forgive in order to free and mend our spirits. Once
we forgive the past, the chains that shackle us are immediately broken.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>The Hermit</strong>: Archangel
Raziel guides us into quiet meditation and spiritual self-discovery. Who am I?
What is my purpose? Why am I afraid? Why do I feel lost? It is during these
quiet meditations that we remember our power, and that no one can take
what GOD gave us. HE made us in his image. We are divine creatures. Why should
we be afraid, or feel lost…we are an extension of the Creator.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>Strength</strong>: Archangel
Ariel reminds us of our inner strength. If we want to be like GOD, then we
better act like him. Get rid of the harsh judgements you have for his other
children. Be only about forgiveness and compassion. We will be judged by how we
treat HIS other babies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>Justice</strong>: Archangel
Raguel tells us to be fair and just in our decisions. That law you pass to harm
the weakest of us…destroys the whole. Do what is fair and good for all. Do
everything with love, not hate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>The Wheel</strong>: Archangel
Michael is not prejudiced or racist. As the guardian of the entire human race, Michael protects all the souls while they are in corporal form. Archangel
Michael promises a positive change, and a regaining of our power. Do not hand
over your worth or your power to anyone. Demand that you be treated as an
extension of GOD. Treat others the same. This rule applies to all, be they
parents, spouses, teachers, lawmakers, corporation, children, rich, or poor. We are the sum
of the Creator. Let’s not shame him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Them vs. Us! Those people, that country, that nationality,
those immigrants, those refugees…does this rant sound familiar? What is it
about the human nature that makes us fear diversity? Today’s reading is about
hatred towards others. This is the most dangerous of sins, and Jesus specifically
spoke against this hatred.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Evil has come into power not only in our
country, but across the globe. We have become a nation of hate, isolation, and
division. We are not only dehumanizing the refugees who are fleeing for their
lives and from corrupt governments that torture and kill their own people, but we
are attacking our very own American citizens because of race, sex, and
political identity. Whatever happened to the motto, Love Thy Neighbor? The
Alt-right, KKK, and <a href="https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/1488">1488ers</a> consider all non-whites as subhuman. Their goal is
to eradicate all of those who are not “Pure.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">What is the most shocking in this situation, is
that the very men and women who have sworn service to GOD, are the loudest
supporters of these hate groups. <strong>Beware of Politicians who carry a bible, and

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">So how do we change our ways? We remember that
we are all divine souls that temporarily inhabit these human forms. We, and
that means every single person on this planet, are created by the same GOD, and
that this GOD loves us all equally. It doesn’t matter what color, sexual
preference, national origin, or financial status we claim. HE champions the
poor, the widow, and the child. When we hate the black man, the Native
American, the refugee, the gay person…we are hating GOD. How do you think
you’ll be treated when you stand before HIM at your death. Today’s reading
gives suggestions on how to be more like GOD.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>The Moon</strong> tells us to use our psychic connection to
see clearly. What is going on in that other person’s life that you don’t
understand? What is it about the other person that you fear? Are they that
different than us? Don’t they also love their family, and want the best things
for their children? The stranger is no different than us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>The Hermit</strong> tells us to spend time in quiet
meditation. Connect with GOD and the Universe. Open your closed minds and
hearts to the teachings of love. Would our loving Lord turn away a stranger in
need? Would Jesus mistreat a person because of his color? You know the answer.
HE WOULD OPEN HIS ARMS TO ALL! Do you think a gay person is judged on his
sexual identity? Jesus would not judge him for loving another person, but on
how he lived in this world. GOD is all about creation and love, but he will
judge us on how we took care of the homeless, the prisoner, and the refugee…and...heaven severely denounces any minister who tells us to hate another person
because they are not white. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>Justice </strong>tells us to be fair and just. That means
to follow the most important commandment from Jesus: Love one another as I have
loved you! Do what is right!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>The Magician</strong> tells us that we have been given
the resources to be happy in this life, and to share this happiness with our
neighbors on this beautiful planet that we call home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>The Wheel</strong> tells us that
it is time to stand up to the haters. It is our responsibility to make the
needed changes. If we look upon all people as fellow souls and divine
creatures that temporarily inhabit this human form, then we will call down upon
us the blessings of the universe. We can do this. It is the only way to prove
that we are like GOD.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">One of the hardest things for us humans to do is
to change our way of thinking. We sometimes are stuck in a rut, and after some
time, that rut begins to get comfortable even as it hinders our chance to be
happy. We’re not happy with our lot, but it’s just too much trouble to
change…maybe we’re afraid to change…maybe we really rather whine than change.
When our friends and family attempt to give advice, we attack. Sound familiar?
I actually did a reading for a person who wanted more out of life, but anger, regret,
and depression made her deaf to suggestions. She did not want to change, for
whatever reason; the fear of change made her a prisoner to her unhappiness. Nothing
I said could help her. Her mind snapped shut to every chance to free herself.
Why are we so resistant to change? The angels have the answer and the solution. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Archangel Jophiel talks about <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ego</b>: We create our reality…the good and
the bad, but if our reality is one of entrapment, negative feelings, and fear
based thoughts, then we never look for the light at the end of the tunnel. We
become our own worst enemy. Something has to give, and it has to be us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Two of Air </span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">reminds us that we are
only fooling ourselves when we are unable or unwilling to make a decision. We
become stagnant, and fear will always win the stalemate. It is easier for us to
complain than make an effort to change our ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Eight of Air</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"> tells us that we create
our own reality, like Archangel Jophiel mentions in Ego. We lack the confidence
to act. We picture ourselves trapped and what we put out there becomes truth.
When I tried to give a recent client suggestions on how to improve a lonely life
by investing in the act of volunteering and connecting to people, this person
refused to even do this, demanding that the world come to them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Ten of Air </span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">reminds us that the end of
a difficult journey is within our grasp if we embrace change and expect things
to get better. If my client had tried even one of my suggestions, this client
would have experienced the joy of giving of one’s self. In the process of an
unselfish act, this client would have regained the courage they forgot they had
and, they would begin to grow in the company of like-minded unselfish souls.
Fear is an addiction, and if it cripples our living life to the fullest, then we
must overcome it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Archangel Raziel reminds us that we are all
capable of creating our own miracles with The Magician card. GOD has given every
one of us the tools to survive in this life and to be happy. We all have fears,
but we must decide who will be the master of our life. Will I be the master of
my life, or fear? The choice is yours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">We have all gone through this…FAILURE! How do we
start over again when that resume didn’t pan out for a better job, or that
project you handed in, landed in the trash can, or that business venture vanished
into thin air? Failure can bring on a sense of loss, and depression. We look
for someone to blame for our misfortune. Maybe we are our own worst enemy. Today’s
cards talk about starting all over again. In other words; dust yourself off,
pick yourself up, and start all over again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Five of Michael tells us that maybe, just maybe,
this promotion, this new home, this guy or gal you were interested in wasn’t
for you. Not at this time. Let it go! Reflect on how you originally approached
the task, whatever it was. Did you put enough effort into arriving at the end-results?
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did you look at the whole picture to see
if the expected results were what you truly desired? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know that just because your family think
you are the best thing walking the face of the earth, to your employer, you’re
just a square peg in a round hole. You don’t fit in. Stand back, take a deep
breath, then look yourself in the mirror. Michael, our warrior angel, is
featured in this reading.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Nine of Michael</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"> tells us not to worry.
Focus on the outcome you desire. Okay, so that promotion didn’t come through,
or that girl flipped you off, or that house you wanted was not feasible because
of your income. Don’t lose hope. Put your trust in GOD, then get to work
improving yourself for that next bid. Fix what is wrong with you before trying
to tweak a chaotic world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Five of Raphael</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"> tells us that
everything happens for a reason, so release the anger and guilt. “You worked so
hard to get that promotion, and some little snot nose right out of college gets
what you want.” Maybe, you would have hated the longer hours, or maybe you’d be
required to work with an obnoxious co-worker. Maybe that little snot nose was
actually the right person for that particular job. Even when things don’t go
our way, Heaven has your back. Let it go, heal, and try again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Seven Of Michael</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"> tells us that there is
a better course. Review the details of what it is you desired. Work on
improving the abilities you don’t already possess. Get a little help from your
friends with introductions or references.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Six of Michael</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"> tells us that there is
always a light at the end of the tunnel. You have to swim to that light. Make
the changes necessary. Make a plan, then live up to that plan. Live up to the
high expectations that you desire and that means working very hard for what you
want…even if the change needed is relocation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

make quick decisions. They do enough research to feel confident, then make
their decisions. No matter if the results or good or bad, these people go with
their gut instincts and most of the time, they’ve made the right choice. When
they do make a mistake, they store this failure away for future use, and then,
go on with life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #14171a; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Some people, like my
hubby, have to arrive at a decision at a much slower pace. They will do the
research, get advice from other people, then weigh the evidence before acting.
They too are using their gut instincts, but act only when they feel confident
that there won’t be any negative feedback. If the desired results are a
failure, they might become hesitant to act on the next big decision. Luckily
for my hubby and me, we balance each other out: daring yet sensible eliminates
a lot of mental potholes…and things get done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #14171a; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This reading is for the
third group. I call these people ‘Spiritual Procrastinators’ these gentle souls
never fully believe in their own powers to do the right thing at the right
time. The Spiritual Procrastinators will handle each decision as if they are
making a life or death choice. Each decision is handled with fear even though
they are intelligent people, who know what the correct choice is. These gentle
souls freeze up when making a decision; never trusting their gut feeling; never
trusting the research they’ve done; never trusting others who have made a
similar choice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #14171a; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This inability to act on
a decision and to stick to it, is usually seen in new souls. This is their
first time in a corporal body, and the mechanics of trusting in one’s power
hasn’t seeped in yet. They concentrate so fully in making their way through
this life, that they’ve forgotten the lessons learned in Heaven, or that they
are divine creatures who are temporarily inhabiting this body. I’ve also seen
this inability to make a decision in a few old souls, who may be still reacting
to choice from the perspective of past memories when they had chosen wrongly.
They are afraid to trust in themselves…but how do they move past their

to do because I am touching on two character flaws that I find in myself. It’s
hard to forgive. I have a problem with this and, it’s the first thing I pick up
on people when I’m doing angel card readings for them. We’re hurt. We feel
betrayed…and we want revenge. Don’t deny it. We all picture ourselves turning
the table on those that hurt us badly. I wanted to take a fresh look at the
power of forgiveness. But first, I needed to ask a very hard question. Was I
responsible for the rift that happened between a friend or family member? Meet me after the jump.</span><a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p><br />

your actions means that you have to take a good look in the mirror, and be
honest with yourself. “What could I have done differently? Did I really need to
have the last word? Couldn’t I just overlook the flames of anger instead of feeding
the fire.

at one reading that she would never forgive the person who she felt betrayed
her. When I listened to her story, I realized that it was her unwillingness to
allow someone else to walk their own path that caused her this pain and sorrow.
She was the cement wall blocking a chance to forgive her only child. So maybe
to forgive, we first need to point that finger towards ourselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

refusal to forgive, or acknowledge that we are just as much at fault, does not
serve our best interests. “Let it go!” We, unlike a certain world leader whose
name shall not be mentioned, are not above accountability. Consider what led up
to this ending of your relationship. Look at the situation as an uninvolved
bystander. How much of this breakup was caused by your refusal to compromise? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be honest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

challenge that you can resolve. Remove yourself from the drama of the incident.
What exactly happened? It takes two to argue. What and how did you speak to the
other person? Remember this too, they are probably just as upset with the loss
of the relationship. We need to remind ourselves often whenever dealing with
other humans, that we are divine souls (all of us) that are temporarily
inhabiting this human form. Unless you are an old soul, we’re all screwing up
one way or another. Don’t be judgmental! Don’t be quick to argue because you
want to appear superior. It takes two to knock down that tower of cards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the meaning of life. You don’t have to climb the highest mountain in India and
speak to a Guru for this meaning. The meaning of life is life itself. Live and
let live. Allow people to have different opinions than yours. GOD wants us to
partake of the joys of life and…</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #14171a; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Spoiler

are in our life before we were born. So please don’t hate them. You don’t have
to love them, but always send light and love their way. We should be enjoying
the little gems in our everyday life and not partaking of the negativity. Most
of the times, we are the cause of that negativity because we didn’t get our
way. Surround yourself with wise people. You know who they are. These guides
are always calming us down, and reminding us to look on the bright side of

tells us to release the past, and that time heals all wounds. This is when you
realize that if you are admitting that maybe, just maybe, you are the problem;
then you can take accountability for your actions. By admitting that you were
just as much the blame…you then can then allow yourself to forgive the person
you fought with, and most importantly…yourself. Let it go, then send a prayer
out to that person. You don’t have to talk to them, but that prayer must be
said for your angel to deliver it. “I forgive you. I forgive me. We are light,
love, and compassion in GOD. Amen”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

comes from objective compromise. Be patient with yourself and others.
Accountability allows us the gift of forgiveness, and forgiveness allows us to
release ourselves of the chains of self-hatred.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">I was spending time with our writers’ group
today. The South Jersey Writers’ Group is one of the best groups in New Jersey.
Every third Sunday, a group of us meet at Audubon’s Treehouse Coffee Shop to
work on our blogs, or for new members, learn how to blog. This week’s topic was
how to keep your blog and Twitter sites focused on what you love to do. I do try to stick to posting only happy stuff, but lately, I tend
to be very political.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">While my fellow writers try not to combine their
blogs with the toxic political scene that we’ve all been dragged into, I step
right into the mayhem. I should just stick to talking about my books and my metaphysical
stories, but I can’t. I could start another twitter page just for my political
rants, but then I wouldn’t be me…not the whole me anyway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">There are many sides of Marie Gilbert. I am
daughter, sibling, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, cousin, and
co-worker. I am an author, professional blogger, psychic/medium, and ghost
investigator. I’m know as both Steampunk Granny and South Jersey’s Italian
Psychic. There is way too much of me to put in a nicely labeled box.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">My Gilbert Curiosities blog tells my followers
about family, adventures, Steampunk events, zombies, and of course my metaphysical
side, which includes weekly Angel Card readings, and results of a ghost
investigation. My <a href="https://gilbertspeaks.wordpress.com/">Gilbert Speaks</a> blog is a pop culture site where I review film,
books, and television shows.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My blogs
are normally uplifting and funny. They were at least until this past
election.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t keep silent when I
witness the dehumanizing of people by our own government. I won’t keep silent
knowing that an enemy country has committed and act of war against us: interfering
in our elections and, hacking into our nuclear power plants. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">I won't be silenced as our babies are killed while going to school. I won't be silenced when the NRA, who doesn't pay taxes, has enough clout to control our politicians. I won't be silenced after Congress voted for a big fat tax break while at the same time stopping funding for meals on wheels for the elderly, and school lunches for poor children.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><strong>Conclusion<o:p></o:p></strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">I won’t be silent. I must speak out against
tyranny and a president who refuses to levy strict sanctions against Russia. I
won’t be silent while the president upsets decent citizens with venomous hatred
against the very agencies that protect us from his buddy, Putin. I won’t be
silent as this president spews hatred against the free press, women,
immigrants, and the poor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Will my speaking out against a despot interfere
with the number of Twitter followers? Most likely it will, but I could not look
at myself in the mirror if I kept silent. So, too all my Twitter followers, I
will apologize now. I am sorry if I’ve upset you in any way. It’s not meant for
you. I am a voice calling out from the desert. I will speak out for all of you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

many kinds of loss that leaves us feeling that we will never recover, or be the
same, be it, divorce, loss of a job, loss of a loved one. Each of these losses
feels like an attack on our very sense of who we are. The normal reaction is to
blame ourselves. What did we do wrong? What didn’t we do? How could I have
prevented this loss?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When the loss concerns the death of someone we
love, we ask all the above questions, but then find ourselves unable to move
on. Sure, we go through the movements of everyday life…but we’ve stopped
living. Our loved ones, who have gone through the veil, are happy because they
are with GOD. They are free of pain and earthly cares…but they worry about the
ones they’ve left behind, especially, if that person is unable to get over
their grief. Saint Michael, our heavenly warrior steps up with helpful advice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to release the past. You don’t forget your loved one, but you should celebrate
their life by living yours. Each day will get easier if you truly believe that
our loved ones watch out for us from the other side. We’ll never forget our
loved ones, but each day the pain will eventually release its crippling hold.
Remember that our loved ones are divine souls who will live for eternity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to continue to grow even though our loved one is no longer by our side. It is
scary to take those steps alone, but we must celebrate life in honor of our
loved ones. How do we celebrate their life? We celebrate a loved one’s life by
growing both spiritually and mentally. Try a new hobby, volunteer at a museum,
join a group that does fun activities. You might think that you are alone, but
the universe has your back. Talk to your departed loved ones as if they are in
the room with you. Tell them about your day, and what you did. This is a
special meditation that helps to bring closure and peace of mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

GOD has given us the means to survive no matter what this world throws at us.
Jesus told us that although we live in this world, we are not a part of it. We
are divine souls, and we control our reality. The servants of EVIL want us to
be afraid, and to cower in the corner. But to break the cycle of fear, we must
face it, and see it for what it really is. Fear is the catalyst for change…growth…and
understanding. What do you fear? Face it, and know that heaven itself has our
backs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

look at life differently. We can no longer hate or dehumanize other people.
They are divine souls just like us. We need to join forces with our fellow
humans and face the fear by recognizing that power comes with unity and love.
Don’t allow the evil few to frighten us. Face your fear, be it sickness, loss
of income, war, or death. We are above death. Our bodies may die, but we live
forever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

good, and that every day that we are alive, should be cause for a celebration.
The life we have may not be what we wanted, but we can change this by using the
law of attraction to see yourself in a good place. And when you are overcome by
fear, picture yourself surrounded by the light of GOD. You are loved! You are

because I’ve had several family members and friends experiencing setbacks in
their lives…I’ve decided to do a reading on how to best handle and survive
these bothersome “potholes” that pop up in our paths.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fall apart, we need to first calm down and think clearly. The world is not out
to get us, but sometimes, even the best laid plans of mice and men, fail. Don’t
get angry. Find out why this upset happened, then see if your plans just need a
bit of tweaking to succeed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

attraction in your life. We are magical and divine creatures. Never forget
this. If you picture yourself succeeding, you will. If you always see yourself
as failing, then you will fail. What you put out into the universe will return
to you. Recheck your original plans, fix the problem, then resubmit both in the
physical and the spiritual worlds. The law of attraction is a powerful tool.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

looking up at the moon has such a calming effect on me no matter what stressful
situation I am experiencing at the moment. Trust in yourself. Trust in the
universe. Trust GOD! Don’t allow previous failures to make you afraid to live
and take chances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><strong>The High Priestess</strong> reminds us that we all have inner
sight into what we need to succeed. What is important now is a focused
evaluation of what you really want. If you want to change jobs because you want
to evolve and more up the ladder, then make sure you have, or obtain the skills
needed for this move.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><strong>Divine Guidance</strong> reminds us that in times of
strife, we must often change how we react to the negativity that surrounds us.
No job is going to offer stress-free conditions. Bosses and co-workers will
stress us out, but our reaction to the stress is how we survive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">They know what buttons to push. Change how you
instinctively react. If the negativity is deadly, then connect with friends who
can direct you to a better job. You may have to learn new career skills. Are
you ready?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><strong>The Peace Card</strong> reminds us that we must let go of
old ideas that no longer pertain to today’s employment. The job you worked at
for the last ten years, or so, is no longer bringing you joy. Do you stay, or
go? We must evolve by embracing the coming future. Do your research! Get what
schooling is needed! Connect with friends who can put you on the right path!
Then, with the blessing of GOD, go forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you have a passion for what you want. We always do our best when we’re working
at a career that makes us happy. This is so much more important than money in
the long term. The law of attraction tells us that what we put out into the
universe, we will receive…keep that in mind as you climb that ladder to
success. Keep one hand open to help others climb that ladder with you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I’m a good writer. I love writing. I’ve been writing since
I was ten, but where my stories are excellent, I suck at the mechanical part of
writing. Hence, I rely on my wonderful editor, Patti O’Brien, to remove the extra
comma or to make sure the story flows, and that the reader isn’t lost in a
swirl of science fiction jibber jabber. Once the editing is done, I send my manuscript
to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/amazoncreatespace/">Create Space</a>, the publishing arm of Amazon. I always order the special
package that gives me my own team who will format the book for me, assign the
ISBN, then after my illustrator, Shelley Szajner, submits the final book cover,
publish the book on Amazon and Kindle. All I have to do is promote and sell my
books. What could go wrong with such a great system? Find out after the jump.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I’m not that great with math. I blame it all on
fractions. I was an honor student for all twelve years in Catholic School, but
even though I was good at addition, subtraction, multiplication and long
division, when it came to fractions, my mind came to a full halt. I think my
lack of direction when driving is connected to the same chromosome that
controls my stupidity about fractions. The nuns at school could not figure out
how I was able to excel in all subjects except math, and after several noted
episodes, they’d learned to never send me on an errand that involved me finding
my way to the school office. Really, I am that bad at directions and often
wonder how I ever found my way through the birth canal.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">When I began using Create Space, I was overjoyed with
the fact that my assigned Create Space team would handle everything. I had
writer friends who also used Create Space. Some were successful in formatting
their own manuscript without paying for the extra service, but some were not,
and it showed in the finished product. I wanted my book to be professional and
the price of having your own team was worth every penny. I had already
published four books through Create Space. My Roof Oasis Sci-Fi Series was very
popular because the books looked just as good as the ones published through
traditional publishers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I am a psychic/medium who has been seeing the dead
since I was a toddler. This gift runs in the family. My mother and father were
also able to see the dead. I grew up in South Philly, and worked in my parents’
grocery store. My parents weren’t the easiest to love, and my siblings and I
weren’t the easiest to raise. I had begun to post weekly blogs about growing up
in the grocery store and the hilarious antics of my father and mother.
People loved my weekly blogs called “Life with Fred and Lucy” and soon they
were asking when there would be a book. My parents who were both dead, had
taken residence in my attic. They were also anxious for this book to be
written. So you can imagine my shock when I learned that Create Space was no
longer offering the complete author service, especially since this book would
have twenty or more black and white photos included within the different
chapters. What the hell was I to do?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I kind of lost it when customer service explained that
this paid and complete service was no longer available. NO! No! No!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I even explained to the manager that Fred and
Lucy would not be happy and would haunt anyone who prevented this book from
being published. I may have scared the shit out of the poor guy, but luckily,
he stayed on line as I submitted my manuscript. I am not sure if the site will
automatically format this book as well as “The Team” did. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I’ve tweeted Amazon
about my unhappiness with their new rules, but so far, no answer. “Life with
Fred and Lucy” is a humorous memoir of growing up in South Philly during the
’50s and ’60s, but it is also a true ghost story. I will keep you all updated
on how the book is going. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Luckily, I have a good friend in my writers’ group who
is taking on this project. Shelley will be professionally formatting the entire book, photos and all.

This little gem on the corner of 19<sup>th</sup> and the Parkway is a virtual
time machine into the past and the future. It is a reflection of America’s
relationship to the natural world. The museum allows its visitors of all ages
to consider how we are connected to nature, and to our fellow creatures who
share this world with us. We are genetically, physically and spiritually part
of nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and even though I know every part of the building, I am always excited to spend
a day there, visiting old friends and enjoying new exhibits. It’s never boring.
There is always something new to learn. There are three parts to the museum:
the part that visitors see; the 18 million specimens in <a href="http://www.ansp.org/research/systematics-evolution/collections/">collection</a>; the
<a href="http://www.ansp.org/research/">research</a> departments. In 1948, the Academy established the Environmental
Research Division. You can check out the research being done, <a href="http://www.ansp.org/research/environmental-research/">here</a>.</span></div>

to the museum for the Christmas holidays. I think I have two budding scientists
on my hand. Our first stop was to North American Hall because Dylan loves bears
and that hall features the black bear, grizzly, and polar bears. Isa was
interested in the Sonoran Desert diorama. At the end of the hallway tables were
set us for volunteers and staff to display the skulls and fur of some of the animals
featured in the hall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

entertain better than a video game?” I would have to say that any trip that
involves a museum, is one of the most memorable and exciting gift that you can give
to a child. Do yourself and your family a favor and buy a membership to the
Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. In fact, you should get a
membership to all the wonderful museums in Philadelphia. A museum membership is
a gift that keeps on giving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jersey Writers’ Group are still heavy over the loss of our Patron Saint of
Blogging, <a href="https://gilbertcuriosities.blogspot.com/2017/12/gilbert-speaks-on-patron-saint-of.html">Glenn Walker</a>, we continue to meet. Blogfest is a monthly ritual that
is held the third Sunday of every month at Treehouse Coffee Shop in Audubon,
NJ. Why are we so loyal to working on our blogs? Find out after the jump</span><a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><strong>The Art of Blogging</strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced blogger,
or just starting out new; everyone is welcomed at the Blogfest. There are many
reasons to have a blog if you are a serious writer. One day, that book is going
to be written. One day, you’ll be sending out Query letters to publishers:
traditional and independent, or you may choose to go self-published, but
whatever road you wish to travel…you need an audience who already follows you
because you write cool blogs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">After Glenn and his wife moved to Florida, our group
was blessed to have Erika M.S. Timar and Victoria Marie Lees take over the
monthly blogging meetings, and luckily for all, both women are generous with
their time and expertise.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Blogging helps you focus on your writing style.
It is a great way to get into the habit of writing regularly and if you share
your blog on social media, then you get instant feedback on the article that
you’ve posted. When you know that people are waiting to read your next post,
you become more conscious of your writing and your topic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Blogging helps you to express yourself and share
your passions, and it’s a great vehicle for sharing your knowledge on a
particular cause or skill. Blogging should be fun and it should be about things
that you are interested in.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I have two personal blogs: <a href="https://gilbertcuriosities.blogspot.com/">Gilbertcuriosities</a>
and <a href="https://gilbertspeaks.wordpress.com/">Gilbert Speaks</a>, but I also write for a Canadian Pop Culture site, <a href="https://biffbampop.com/">Biff Bam Pop</a>. On my personal blogs I display my love for movies, television series,
<a href="https://gilbertcuriosities.blogspot.com/p/beware-harvesters.html">zombies, ghosts</a> and family by displaying a distinct page for each of my loves.
By having separate pages, I can write about many diversified topics while still
keeping true to the core of my blog. It’s like having a split personality, but
one that works as a team. If people are interested in ghosts, I have a page for
that. Zombies, there’s a page for reviews on “The Walking Dead” and “Fear the
Walking Dead” and, if you are interested in Steampunk, I have a page for that.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Publishers and literary agents usually search
the blogosphere and social media searching for successful bloggers. If you are
a successful blogger then that publisher or agent will be more willing to take
a chance on you because you will be bringing along your own followers (book
readers who will buy your book).</span></div>
