Time to catch up. A lot has been happening, to say the least! I guess we all decided to be here at this time, but really I never stop asking myself if I really meant to do this.
Where I Will Be Teaching
I was going to teach a week intensive in Holland but I cancelled that trip. There is too much uncertainty in crossing borders at present for me to take the risk of doing it. Anyone who is a critic of the government (that would be me) could be detained and harassed, and many people are experiencing that. Any kind of delay could then mean having to cancel or delay the classes and that would not work. I have had so much stress lately that I just could not see taking that on. So sorry to all my students in Holland. Here is where I will be teaching in person:
My Farm
I am finally coming up for air after my move further north in California. Here is a photo of my new place, about half finished and painted – YAY! Lots more to do inside but progress is being made.
Here is a short video of my horses
About that Novel
i mentioned that I was going to try my hand at writing a novel. I did finish a chapter and sent it to a number of people to read. I got excellent comments back that convinced me that writing a novel is a full time job. I need to start over and do it right, but I’m not independently wealthy, I have to work, and I won’t have time. So that project is on hold for now.
What the Heck Happened in the US?
The election was compromised and the US is now in the control of a bizarre billionaire family. Here is an NPR program on the billionaires behind Trump.
I do realize that some people reading this blog may still be Trump supporters, and if that is the case, I would say, you need to go find some good sources to tell you what this administration is really doing. For example, I don’t think most Trump supporters have heard that this administration just ok’d aerial killing of wolves and bears, shooting and gassing wolf puppies and bear cubs in dens, dumping coal ash in streams, removing all air and water protection laws, closing the EPA, drilling and fracking on national parks and national wildlife sanctuaries, using lead shot (that poisons eagles and wildlife). And on and on. Really.. that is just for starters.
Here are some ideas for how to act in these times:
- Write letters to the editor… I plan to do this weekly and pick one issue, like killing baby bears, per week. Because truly people do not know about what is happening. If they only listen to Fox News, or right wing, or Christian radio, they will not know what is truly happening.
- Join one of these groups #resist indivisible
- Run for something
- Find a friend and do deep canvassing door to door.
- Do energy healing and dowsing to shift the situation. Link to my blog on how to dowse to shift energy.
And here is something to lift your spirits: A rare sighting of a dog bird.

Hello, Marta! Your new home is beautiful, as are your animals! So glad you feel you’ve reached a more settled time. Moving can really tear a person down, can’t it?! Love the “rare bird”, lol!
I’m sure you know all about the American Society of Dowsers, right? They have a great bookstore on their site, with recordings of past convention speakers and classes, tools, books, everything you need. Hugs, Rebecca
