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

http://iamcheri22.blogspot.com/2009/09/ruby-has-already-been-at-work.html
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.
