Feeling kinda sad today

I guess its just going to be one of those days. It started off alright. Was at home, got some things cleaned up. Got a crock pot of dinner ready which was nice. Then I found out from my friend that her mom's apartment burned down yesterday (on the news here in BC) and everything is gone. She was told that they did not have any insurance. I am the type that wants to help everyone. Even though I have never met her mom and step dad and not "close" friends, I still called people I knew that might have somethings that they could donate to them. I even posted on facebook seeing if anyone had anything or could help in anyway. I then took both my girls and we headed to the mall. I manged to get a few towels, hand towels, tooth paste, tooth brushes and a set of glasses all for a reasonable price. This is in the meantime with both of my girls not "behaving". (in other words, my toddler really needed a nap, and my 7 year old was doing her usual arguing over nothing which drives me crazy!).

I managed to find both my girls a pair of shoes on clearance for school, and everything else I needed for the family. I was so ready to get out of there. After getting home, and talking to my friend, we made plans to meet up later tonight to give her the things I had bought. It was then I went into my closet in my computer room and started going through things I had that I might be able to give away. I noticed the pictures my mom bought me when I was a teen. It was for my hope chest. I noticed the book she wrote in called " a grandmother remembers" that I was to give to my eldest when shes old enough to cherish it. I then saw her ashes and remembered that we still need to find her a "final resting place". I know that shes not attached to her ashes, but I still feel that I need to do something with them. Put them somewhere that would have meant something to my mom. So today unfortunately has been an "i miss my mom" kinda day.

Hopefully you guys don't mind me spewing this out. I do appreciate the ability to be able to post things like this as I truly believe that its in every ones best interest to let out their emotions rather than bottling it in. It really does help to release it and will often make you feel better. I know it did for me.

I know the one good thing today though, is my friend called me back. After talking to her mother, it turns out that YES they did have insurance so their stuff will be able to be replaced. I am not sure what I am going to do with everything I bought. I think I might just hold on to it. We usually adopt a family around Christmas each year, so perhaps this will be a blessing in disguise and something that they truely need.

Life in a nut shell

This topic does seem to fit as I would have to say that this weekend was a bit NUTS!. I can't even really tell you everything that made it nuts, just seemed like the time was going really fast and that I did not have enough time for everything.

Yesterday I went and visited with my Grandmother. I had a really nice visit with her (shes my mothers mom). We talked about mom. I told her that I was informed that my mom was suffering from depression again before she died, and I think that this also helped her to put my mom's death into perspective.

My Grandmother actually told me something really interesting that I thought I would share. She said that she was reading a book in her bed as she is having trouble sleeping and figured that perhaps she might end up having a nap. She said it was 2pm when she started her book. She said next thing she knows, she must have fallen asleep as she kinda woke up with a start. She said her glasses were still on, and she was still holding the book and looked at the clock and it was 2:20pm so only 20 minutes had passed. She looked up and there stood my Grandfather looking at her and smiling. She said he was as solid as can be. The only problem, was that he had passed 2 weeks before my mom did. She said that she felt she must have been going crazy and that this actually really scared her. I told her I believe in this and that I really felt it was my grandfather to visit with her and did not think she was crazy. She said "well where ever he is he does seem to be happy".

I had another dream about my mom the other night that I think that I posted here a few weeks ago. In this dream she insisted that people can come back into their bodies if given enough time. It was almost like she was telling me that a week later they can still come back and that she was very much alive. I really do not think that the dream means that we can come back and inhabit our bodies after being declared "dead" for over a week, but I think that properly interpreted is that shes "very much alive" so to speak. So although not here in her physical body, but is still very much alive back home. I think that this too provides me comfort.

Well I wanted to post on Sunday and announce the winner, but like I mentioned, time this weekened seemed to have been short. My husband is sitting here so I told him to pick a number between 1 and 22 as that is how many people have entered the contest. He looks at me.. says "hmmmmmm........33?" I was like what? I started to laugh and repeated that it had to be between 1 and 22 and he thought I said 1 - 122!

So the lucky number he drew and the winner for the latest blog contest is NUMBER 12!!! (Jaclin).. please email me at cheri22@gmail.com with blog contest in the subject line:)

Sorry for the background change. The background I was using I guess was deleted from the database. So when I came to the blog it was telling me that a picture was missing. So this one will have to do for now while I find something that works better:)

Cellphones and sperm

Do you think that this can be a problem? Does your husband carry his phone around his waist area, in his pocket or on his belt at his waist? I am actually watching Dr Oz, and they did some testing on this and found when exposing the sperm to cellphone radition, the sperm decreased 80% in movement!!

Check out the clip and see it for yourself:)

So where does your luck come in?

This is something that I have been thinking about for the past few days. I know people say that they are lucky in love, or that when they gamble seem to be able to come with more money than they walked in with. Others are lucky in their jobs/careers or with friendships... Where does your luck come in?

For me, its not the lottery (although I still play hoping that one day!) I would consider myself lucky for my husband, but I would also say that it took alot of work and "mistakes" of finding Mr. Wrong before I found Mr. Amazingly Right. So where is my luck? Well it might sound funny, but my luck seems to be in getting into a line just before everyone else decides to line up. It seems like when I need to go somewhere there might be one or two more people in front of me, and then a minute goes by and then there are like 5-6 people behind me. Its almost like I am being followed! okay I am not, but hopefully you get the picture.

Today as a way to de-stress from the post below I took my daughters to the park as a way to clear my mind. After, going through the drive thru at 6:30pm to get the kids a quick bite of dinner, and my eldest daughter asks why no one is in the drive thru and we are the only ones. I commented that perhaps it was later in the evening and perhaps alot of people had already eaten. It was then that I looked behind me and four more cars pulled in behind us. This happens pretty much 85% of the time and I have noticed it before but never really thought that perhaps this is where my "luck" seems to sit. I dont always pick the best border line up, but do seem to be able to "beat the rush" when it comes to line ups!

So I am asking those of you who would like to win a reading (the family bypass) to take the next few days to pay attention to where your "luck" comes in. Perhaps you have already realized it, or perhaps in the next few days it will become apparent. Share in the comments section where your "luck" comes in and you are entered to win! I will announce the winner on SUNDAY

Here we go again...

For those of you who have been following my blog for awhile, this is "old news" and not something that should surprise you. For those of you who are recently tuning it, well pay attention! I can't believe that shes doing it again!

There is another psychic who posts under the name RUBY and claims to be 94% accurate. Please do NOT get suckered into using her for your readings. She actually posts under numerous names on various trying to conceive boards, pretending to be a client of "Ruby's'" who had a very successful reading. This is how she operates. Getting people to goto her and providing them a reading and then when she gets busy seems to fall off the face of the earth, expecting you to pay even more money to have your reading expedited and then just never delivers. Some people have lost money because of her.

I NEVER visit the boards myself. I have on occasion gone to today's parent website, other than that, I do NOT frequent any boards. Even if a client links me to a site where they posted some positive feedback I always tell them I appreciate it, but will not visit the link. I dont like to have any additional information about my clients, its "cheating" and I would rather just use the vibes from my clients and the minimal information that I request. This is what other psychics should do as well. If they do frequent a board, they should be upfront about it.

Ruby seems to think that pretending to be other people is the best way to get more business. This is NOT the first time shes been caught (visit these two links from my blog to see more of the storey

I just feel sick that someone can do this to "help" people but then are actually scamming people. It gives everyone of us who are trying to help people a bad name. My clients are done by word of mouth ONLY. I do not bribe people to send clients my way and I treat all of my clients with love and respect. I LOVE to help everyone.

So please... please.. pass on the word, to AVOID using RUBY. I am sure that some people have gotten readings from her and been happy, but I think her tactics for advertising are shady as well as not providing readings that are paid for.

Also located on her site, is the fact shes offering healing..etc.. Please note, this is copied from Elisabeth's Site, and RUBY (Or Christina) does NOT have any formal training to offer these sessions.

Who knew that water slides could be a workout?

I wish I thought twice about my "brilliant" plan. My god daughter is staying with us from Tuesday until Friday. Yesterday after being asked over and over to take them to the waterslides, I gave in. First, I am not really a waterslide kinda gal. I got the kids suits, towels and sunscreen, and we headed out. After arriving, a sign already says how busy its going to be and to expect LONG line ups. That should have been my first clue. Next, we pick a spot to lay out our towels. All three kids have sunscreen on, so after changing into my bathing suit, I put sunscreen on myself and we head out. My god daughter and my 7 year old off to explore, and myself and the two year old hitting the "tot" slides.

I of course went down a few slides with her, bumped my knee on one of them, but we had fun. After she got the hang of it, I would walk with her to the top of the little tot slide, she would get in and I would head to the bottom before she got there to ensure that she did not fall over or get a face full of water. Shes actually quite the natural. We played in the water type park for the little ones, and stayed in the hottub twice to warm up. Overall a great time. We arrived at 12, and decided around 3:30 it was time to go. Okay okay, I DECIDED it was time to go. I was tired, hot and ready to just go and sit and relax. The two year old resisted, did NOT want to get dressed. The two older ones came willingly as the rides they wanted where boasting a 20-30 minute wait!. Heading into the parking lot, the two year old lets go of my hand (thankfully no cars close by) and decides shes going back swimming. After convincing her it was closing, and that I would bring her again another day, she held my hand to the van. She was DEFINATELY ready for a nap at this point, and passed out even before we left the parking lot.

Fast forward a few hours, to realize that I had burnt my upper back (some parts it appears to have blistered) I guess I forgot to put sunscreen up there.

I wake up this morning and I am stiff and sore. I can barely move my right arm up and down, it hurts, it hurts to bend, it pretty much hurts to do anything and I feel like I have been beaten up! My husband laughs and told me its from the waterslides and using muscles you didn't know you had. Not sure I like this!

Hoping everyone is having a good start to their summer. Today I plan on avoiding outside as much as possible as when the sun is shining on my back (even with my clothes on) it hurts a bit, otherwise is okay, and I ache. I guess its part of the fun of getting older.

Has anyone seen any aliens?

I know sounds like a really strange topic however I read a book from Sylvia Browne many years ago. In the back of her book she gave predictions for the future. Saying that she predicted that in 2010 we would see aliens. That they would make their presence known and the world would know once and for all they exist.

So with this being said I am really keeping my eyes open! She also predicted that in 2021 that the west coast would be gone.. I live on the west coast! So if we see aliens in 2010, I plan on moving further east!

This weekend has been relaxing for me. The weather has been nice, not too hot and not too cold. We have people over for a BBQ last night and its been people we have not even seen for a very long time so it was really nice catching up!

So what do you think...do aliens exist?

Whats in your wallet?

Okay, the topic in the subject line has nothing to do with the post, I have just always wanted to say it. Apparently I am in a good mood today because I am finding things funny!

I was talking with a client of mine earlier this morning. She was telling me of some objects that she had of her father in laws that used to be in her room but she moved them into the barn this month. She explained how he was a "bad" person and that she never felt right going into that room with those things there. The month she removed it, she happened to get pregnant.. Coincidence... perhaps.. but I guess you will never really know.

I explained to her that sometimes when someone in this life was really negative or a rotten person, their negative energy can attach to their stuff. I am not saying that they are there haunting your stuff (because after you pass on, MOST people realize the error in their ways and understand the lessons they needed to learn and are no longer like that). The energy though can still remain on these items.

Believe it or not, you can purify it with holy water (I know it sounds like an old wives tale, but it can work). Other ways, you can put the item in the centre, surrounded by a circle of WHITE candles (does not matter if they are scented or not) and just say over and over, "please release all negative energy attached to this item, only goodness may surround it.".

Another way if you can, is to put the item in the dishwasher because the hot water can also help cleanse it. The dishwasher is a long process of the hot water which will help. I am sure that you can also find other ways by googling it. please do NOT pay someone to cleanse your objects, this is something that can be easily done by yourself!!!!!

How can you tell if something has negative energy attached to it? First thing to start is if the person who owned it really negative... second step.. how does it feel when you look at it, or touch it? Worse case, cleanse it anyways:) You never really know how much something can be interrupting your life without you fully aware!

(this is not to send you all in a panic and throwing away everything you own because your freaked out, but to perhaps point you towards items that might need some special attention)

A bit of a sad day for me..

its exactly four months from the day my mom died. This is not the main thing that has me upset, but probably plays a part. We have decided (as in me, my sister and my mom's husband) have figured out a place to put part of her ashes, and plan to do this sometime next week. Afterwards, heading to the Vancouver Aquarium in the hopes of turning a sad day into one that is happy. (especially for the kids).

Last year for my birthday, my mom bought me some plants, that enjoy the shade, and should come back each year. Out of the 7 plants (or possibly 6) she gave me, only 4 of them came back this year. I was a bit upset about this, but what can you do. Fast forward to to last month. My mother in law while "helping" with the weeding, thought one of the plants was a weed and tore it out. I was CRUSHED. I know its not my mom shes pulling it, but its something I had that was special to me at this point and meant alot (which she did know as it was a discussion a few weeks previous)

I didn't say anything to her as I am sure she would have felt badly, but I was still upset. Then take it to today. Its my mom's husbands birthday today, so myself and my two girls and him went out for a nice lunch. Went back and visited with him for a bit and then headed home for the one hour drive.

I get home and we head outside. My inlaws have been busy in the backyard chopping part of a dead pine tree (or something like that type) and I look down below. My plants that my mom gave me are GONE.. Yes they were below the site where they were working but my first instinct was that they were gone.. I actually believe it or not started to cry. I couldn't believe it. I noticed over to the left that they had been moved, but one of the plants does not look too good. I am still a bit upset about this. My mother in law called today to explain that she "had" to move them because the tree they were trying to cut parts of it down where starting to come close to crushing the plants. I understand the logic in this, but still.. I guess what can you do.

I guess its been kinda like that for me today. I am a very positive person by nature, and most times done stay upset/mad for long. I know that it sounds silly. I guess just one of those days where things affect you a bit more strongly than others.

Blood type and fertility?

I was actually just going a fertility reiki on a client of mine when it came up in her reading about something to do with starch.. They also then linked me to think about blood type and conception. I wondered if this could actually have an impact on trying to concieve or staying pregnant. Seeing as google is my best friend, I decided to try and see what I could find out. I am glad that I did! For those of you who have been trying for a long time or having repeated miscarriages, read this article! Sounds like it could point you in the right direction (or even google like I did and see what you find out)
