Family, work, friends and my Spiritual life, are the sum of my days....but, in my spare time {what's that?!}, I'm a longtime researcher of UFO's {am Director and Lone Investigator of 6+ Counties here in So. Cal for a major scientific UFO organization for many years}. Other research interests are: Paranormal & Supernatural phenomena, Medicine {traditional & alternative}, Space and Earth sciences, Earthquakes, and climate change. I also enjoy cooking, sewing, needlecraft, jewelry making, macrame, crochet, writing, photography, gardening, rockhounding, prospecting, genealogy, and just hanging out with my kids. I've been a bookkeeper for the last several years but I long to, someday, get back out on the road driving a truck again, so I keep my license active. :) My favorite runs were driving long stretches of road through the desert at night. I really miss it! NCG6369, The Little Ghost Nebula NGC7293, The Helix Nebula The Andromeda GalaxyAndromeda Chained Shoemaker-Levi 9 Rendezvous With Jupiter, July 16-22 1994 Old men and comets have been reverenced for the same reason, their long beards and pretences to foretell events.~Jonathan Swift When we walk to the edge of all the light we have, And take that step into the darkness of the unknown: We must remember that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to step on, Or, we will learn to fly.Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream... I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been... To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen... They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed.Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear... But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear... Oh, oh...oh, oh....Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin' I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'...All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground... And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land... Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream... Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream... My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again... Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years... With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear... Ohh....When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah... When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah.... ~Kashmir {Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant} "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." ~Albert Einstein ***************************** "When a man finds no peace within himself, it is useless to seek it elsewhere." ~L.

I want to meet Jesus.....Jesus promised those who would follow him only three things...that
they would be absurdly happy, entirely fearless, and always in trouble.

I positively LOVE Music, especially the kind which can only be heard in the silence. Within the hustle and bustle of the 'world,' I like Classic and Alternative Rock the best, but do listen to some Motown, Hip Hop and Country music once in a while....depends on my mood, really, and what I'm doing. I don't care much for elevator music, or Rap....but there are even some of those songs that I enjoy, when the time is right...
I like classic horror movies and the older sci-fi movies the best {spare me the gory graphics ~ I'd rather use my imagination!}.... I also enjoy comedies and romantic comedies. My all time favorite movie is The Haunting, with Julie Harris and Claire Bloom (1963)...a zillion times scarier than the modern remake IMO, as it depicts the closest to, what actually happens when you are dealing with a real haunting {I've had tons of experience in this area}. Hill House is also my ideal dream house...I LOVE Gothic architecture! "…we who walk here… walk alone…" This Spirit Photograph was captured by one of the surveillance cameras outside the Palace of Henry VIII. It is believed to be authentic. This is LAM, an "Extraterrestrial Intelligence" whom Aleister Crowley was in astral contact with in 1919. It is claimed that if you relax your focus and stare long enough at this image, you will see LAM's true form...which looks surprisingly like the little grey alien's so commonly reported now. Did Crowley unlock the door?June 24, 1947, The Modern UFO Era is born with Kenneth Arnold's sighting of nine identical craft flying in formation near Mt. Rainier, WA. The term "Flying Saucer" was also born on that day, but if you look closely at this first artist sketch of what Arnold witnessed, they weren't saucer-shaped craft at all.Since this particular message was first transmitted by Arecibo in 1974, it has been re-sent several more times. Did we receive a reply at Chilbolton on August 18, 2001?The Crabwood Formation, discovered August 15, 2002....Is it real, or is it Memorex?
Other than scientific documentaries, Ghost Whisperer and Medium are probably the only new shows I watch. I prefer the older TV shows whenever I get time to sit down and watch it...which isn't too often these days. If there's nothing good on I'll pop in a tape or dvd, or opt for the stereo. I mainly use TV as an escape back to a simpler time...back when life wasn't so complicated, and there weren't quite so many other things to keep an eye on...like who's flying what through our friendly skies...and keeping track of all these earthquakes around here! And, yes, sometimes the two are related. :) SoCal Historical Earthquake Map"I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to affect, and all the consequences of those prayers down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives." ~Peter Kreeft
I would have to say nonfiction books occupy 99.9% of the space in my library....must be that Virgo thing! LOL The Earth speaks softly to the mountain, which trembles, and lights the sky. Russell's Octave Wave depicts a complete wave cycle, which is a model for everything in the universe. It's a symbol for the Creator's imaginings at work. The essence of all creation and change is here revealed for those who have the eyes to see and the understanding to know and interpret.
My Heroes are anyone who strives daily to make the world a better place, through loving, unselfish acts of kindness, because they cared enough and were brave enough to try, out of the sheer goodness of their heart.To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning. It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true. To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds, to know the wonder of a stardust sky, and the wisdom of the man in the moon. To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart, the innocence of a child's eyes, and the beauty of an aging hand; for it is through their teachings we learn to love. To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us when it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again. To believe is to know we are not alone, that life is a gift, and this is our time to cherish it. To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen, and all our hopes and dreams are within reach... "If only we believe" ~Author Unknown
