okay, lets start with the "boring" stuff. The update!
This weekend has been a bit slower for me. My sister (who has an EDD of November 18th) was admitted to the hospital on Thursday with what appeared to be severe kidney infection. They gave her antibiotics, and by Saturday night still no better. They said that she was 3cm dialated and the baby was at -3. Well they decided to increase her fluids in the IV to see if it would slow her contractions down (she was having them every 5 min) their reasoning was because if she had a kidney infection they did not want her to experience labor on top of the pain she already experienced.
Well it stopped the labor, and she spent from Thursday till sunday when they ruled out that there was no infection at all! we are thinking that the baby is on her kidneys or is some how affecting them. I snuck up to the hospital yesterday for a visit and also gave her the bottle of castor oil. She took 1 tbsp and NOTHING happened! Today they sent her home. She has asked to be induced, so is on the "waiting" list. The hospital did not have the room to induce her today. Shes still in severe pain, but figures being home is better than the hospital at this point. So its just a matter of time now before we find out when.! I am hoping not tomorrow as I have to work (today is a holiday) and I am the only one there, but I can always sneak out on Wed!!! lol
So with being a bit worried about my sister and on edge everytime the phone rang (I am an hours drive and want to arrive just before he comes out) I have not had as much time to focus on the emails, so please accept my apologies. I will be working extra hard tonight as well as the rest of the week. I am not too far behind, but will do my best to get to everyone asap.
Today is EXTREMELY windy, my cat is completely freaking out, the leaves are all coming flying off the trees and I plan on staying close to home!

When using your psychic abilities
its always a good thing to surround yourself in a "shield" of light. I find that whenever I am channeling and just feel a bit "unease" that I tend to use this technique to try and make myself feel more safe.
Most people when opening themselves up to their abilities are "afraid' of encountering "evil" or "dark". I can't say that this does not exist, but can say that you can avoid if you know how to protect yourself. I find that if your a positive person and try to focus on the positive that the chances of encountering dark energy is highly unlikely. HOWEVER there have been a few occasions where I have felt that I was "not alone" and really did not feel good with this particular visit. I think that there are some spirits who have yet to pass over that at times can feel the energy you left off when your in connection with your gifts. They mean no harm, more out of curiosity than anything, but its still not a fun thing to have.
Because I have great success in connecting with loved ones who have passed, there have been times I have picked up "negative" thoughts and I dont like what they are thinking. Its this time that I usually ask them to leave, or 'shield" myself.
There are a few ways of doing this, there is no "wrong" way and this can really benefit in MANY ways and an important start with getting in touch with your inner gifts.
First, try and make sure you have a spot where its not too loud not alot of distraction, You can pretty much do this anywhere. Sitting, with your palms up and eyes closed , I want you to see a light in your mind (let your mind pick any color, it usually knows what color will work best for you at that particular time, just first color to your mind use it, don't second guess) See it starting at your toes, and slowly going up over your legs, your knees, your hips..etc. Until you see it go over your head and finish you off in a "cocoon" of light. You can add any additional colors if you feel the need to. I at this point say "only goodness may enter me and only goodness may leave me'. You can change that to say "pure love" or use goodness. Whatever you remember better.
you can also do this with your house while in bed at night, imagine the light coming from underneath your foundation and going over the roof and encasing it in the light (again just choose any color) Most times I even do this to my daughter and my husband (even though my daughter is in a completely different room) And again, I just use whatever color that comes to mind and at times have been known to use one or two colors myself.
Its also at this point I also notice that the "negative" emotions I was picking up are gone, my mind is no longer thinking weird things like they were, and feel more "clear" again. You can do this once a day, a few times a day, anytime your feeling a bit "off".. its up to you:)
There are many uses for this light therapy and this is just the start, I will make sure to post more in the days to come, but lets start here. If you have any questions about how to do this, please post them in the comments section, i will get back to you.

can I whine? lol
Well, today was my "first" prenatal appt. I was supposed to go last Thursday but was bumped because the Dr had to make a hospital delivery during my scheduled time. I was really hoping to get to hear the heart beat today, he at first was not even going to try, but then said he would as long as I did not get upset if we could not hear it. He tried, we couldn't find it :( I know I am only almost 13 weeks, and most times can't be heard until closer to 14 weeks or higher, but still had my fingers crossed!
Today was a bit of an off day. I have been constipated (I know too much information! lol) because of all the milk I have been drinking (okay, I know, my own fault!) but finally was able to go and perhaps strained a bit too hard. Been slightly crampy today and had slight spotting. I am not too worried, as I spoted quite a bit during my pregnancy with my daughter so remaining positive.
I also have been suffering for the last week, a shoulder/neck muscle issue, that has been hurting, causing me to also suffer from headaches in my right eye as well. Makes it harder to type, and look at the screen, and finally resorted to using a heating pad, and takeing one tylenol if its really affecting me. This is the same area that I injured in a "slight" car accident 7 years ago) I was rear ended, but suffered bad whiplash because of how my head was turned when hit) So I asked my Dr for a referral to a massage therapist. Hopefully this will solve the problem!
I am having troubls with the update window in gmail, when you send me a message, your supposed to be greeted with an automated message. It should tell you which day it was updated, as well as which day I am currently working on. It had not let me update it since November 4!!! I tried to find a contact menu for gmail to get them to sort that issue out, but had no luck. Will try again tonight!
From the looks below, people seem to be very excited about the free tarrot readings. Trust me, will be well worth the wait. I was really impressed with what she told me, and hopefully everyone will experience the same experinece as I had with her. As mentioned, after the last winner has been announced, I will post her direct email and website to this blog, so that anyone else who wants to try her out can contact her without having to go through me.
I am hoping that everyone has a good long weekend! I plan on spending most of mine here at home, relaxing, getting some emails done, and just having fun with my daughter:)

Winner of blog contest for October was
AMY P. of MO USA. Congratulations Amy. As already mentioned, I have had your candle shipped and the Gold Canyon Representative will email you with your tracking number! Enjoy!
Okay, here is something "new" for NOVEMBERS blog contest and will run all NOVEMBER. Every monday starting November 12th and then on Nov. 19 & 26th I will post something on this blog. All you have to do is respond in the comments section based on the information in that post and you could possibly be the winner! So thats three winners for the month of NOVEMBER!
Now, this is definatley something new! I had a client offer to do a tarrot reading for me in exchange for extra questions for herself, including a connection with a loved one who passed over. As most of you know already, I can't read myself (most people can't!) so of course I am always open for that and took her up on her offer.
I asked at least 5 questions, and everything that came back was pretty much inline with what I had felt but could not know for sure, and also what Cheri Mancuso had already mentioned in my reading with her. They lined up really well!.
Pam, is VERY good with reading Tarrot cards and has offered me to offer her services for this month for my blog contest. What you win, is ...... her email to contact her with, and the ability to ask THREE questions. It does not matter what you ask her, can be about ttc, pregnancy, marriage, money, friendship, careers....etc.. whatever you think of, will be answered!
So three people will win this great opportunity to have it done for free!
After this november contest is over, I will post a link to her site, as well as a link to her email so that if anyone else was interested in trying her out, that you could do so. I dont plan on listing that information as of yet, cause my winners get to go first! hahaha!!
I am playing "hookey" from work today, this time telling them I was "pretending" to be sick. That way they knew exactly why i was not coming in but staying at home. And like my last post when I actually told them I was sick, and then I got sick the next day, I felt by being honest with playing "hookey" i might get to skip the karma and not be sick tomorrow! lol
I am online, its 1:14pm, and will be online till just over 3:30pm where I will get as much readings done as possible before picking up my daughter from daycare. Then I will be back on again tonight as well doing more readings when my little one is in bed:)
Best wishes!

A storey of hope!
Here is an inspirational storey from Steph. I met her on todays parent and did a prediction for her. Although her ttc was a stressful journey, and had its ups and downs, there was certainly a silver lining to look forward to. This storey is to show you, that although what you may be up against seems "pointless" to continue and it seems "easier" to just give up, sometimes its the perserverance, that pays off in the end:)
"After only taking 9 months to conceive our first daughter, we were not prepared for the long road that fertility would take us down when trying for our second child. When DD#1 was 22 weeks old, I got AF for the first time. DH and I discussed TTC again and decided to get started right away as we knew that since I was 36, it might be harder to get pregnant the second time around. Little did we know that it would take 2 years. After TTC for 9 months, in May 2005 I contacted my OBGYN to have some testing done. I could not get in to see him for another 4 months so I went to my GP and got a referral to the Ottawa Fertility Clinic, knowing it would take forever to get in there. My OBGYN had all the testing done in advance that was required by the Fertility Clinic. I had bloodwork, hysterosalpingogram, ultrasounds, paps and a variety of swabs. Finally there was a cancellation at the clinic so our appointment was moved up to December 2005. In the meantime, I bought a ClearBlue Fertility Monitor (my best purchase EVER). Little did we know that when we visited the clinic, we were actually pregnant. Very Happy Christmas to us! BFP on Dec 22, 2005. I called the clinic to cancel our place on the IUI list but they said to hold off as they hate jinxing anyone. Good thing as on January 18th, I started bleeding. We had a number of ultrasounds done and the heartbeat was there. We were relieved. But on January 30th, the heartbeat was no longer and I had a D&C on January 31st. It was the hardest thing that my husband and I have ever had to live through. I spent weeks crying on and off. How could this happen? We ended up having an IUI done on March 17th, 2006 (all those meds and shots GROAN). It did not take. It was our last chance to have a fertility treatment as the clinic was moving and would not be ready to do more procedures until summer. While we waited, we tried the Sperm Meets Egg Plan (SMEP) and I got pregnant again in late May. Again, I started spotting and this time my HCG levels never got off the ground. I miscarried again on June 6th. I was fed up. In July, we tried the SMEP one more time. We knew that we were on the eve of the 2 year anniversary of TTC. We didn't put much into it as we were in the middle of putting our house up for sale and finalizing the touches on the house we had built. Cheri told me "APRIL" back in September 2005. I thought I would have to get pregnant in August to give birth in April until someone pointed out to me that I would actually have to get pregnant in July. When this was pointed out to me, I knew right then and there that I was pregnant. I bought a Clearblue Digital test the next morning and there it was: +. To be honest, we never really believed that we would have that baby. I bled 3 big bleeds from week 5 to week 13. I had 6 ultrasounds in that time as I was a nervous wreck. I literally was making myself sick. Until I had that baby in my arms, I was not a believer. But here I sit with my 7 month old Megan in my lap while I type this (did I mention Cheri said GIRL!). She is VERY real indeed. And she was worth every minute."
