What is fear management? And what does Santa have to do with this post?
The above photo was taken on Friday 3 May 2013. My dog had been diagnosed with terminal cancer four days earlier. My brain was still messed up from the stroke Iâd experienced 14 months earlier. Thinking wasnât something I remembered how to do.
If weâre looking for love, weâll see it in the most unexpected places. I saw love three weeks ago in the face of an Alaskan Malamute in the Childrenâs Room of the Stafford Township Public Library.
Happy Mercury Retrograde! We went into retrograde on 28 April 2016 and will get our âGet Out Of Retrograde Freeâ cards on 22 May 2016. There are other planets that are also currently in retrograde. Iâll talk about Mercury being in retrograde because itâs more of a familiar topic than the others.
Once upon a time, I sensed that I could do much more good in partnership than alone. I had a vision of the love I would share with my partner circling the globe, touching the hearts of those who needed to believe in the power of love, touching the hearts of those who needed to believe in miracles when presented with a dire health diagnosis, and touching the hearts of those who needed to believe that love was always possible even if the relationship got off to a rocky start.

Psychologist, Author
Kathy Forti, Ph.D. is the author of the newly released Truth Book Series: STACKS Library of Truth and STACKS Awakening Truth, a sci-fi thriller which takes place in Washington, D.C.’s Library of Congress, where a library employee accidentally opens up an interdimensional portal into a library within a library, where all truth is stored.
Prior to penning her novels, she was a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. Her knowledge of psychopathology adds unusual character depth to her stories.
As a direct result of her own near-death experience in 2003, where her heart stopped, Forti became more creative. This led to the development and patent of the Trinfinity8 and Ascension11 energetic software technology, now used by holistic healing practitioners worldwide.
With a degree in journalism, she worked for several years as an associate producer for CBS-TV. She also wrote a TV pilot script for STACKS that won a Slamdance Teleplay Award. She launched, with the help of Pacific Rock Productions, which was led by an Emmy-winning producer, an original 11-part web series called STACKS The Truth Can Kill You.
She has authored a non-fiction book as well: Fractals of God: A Psychologist’s Near-Death Experience & Journeys Into the Mystical, and a children’s book series: Freddie Brenner’s Mystical Adventures.
Forti is a blogger and was a keynote speaker for NEXUS Magazine in Australia in 2010 and 2015. She addresses subjects related to health, consciousness, spirituality and the weird and wonderful. For years, she has been leading ancient mystery school groups to Egypt, having explored the water tunnels under the Great Pyramid, as well as closed-off tunnels under the Sphinx. Sometimes referred to as “a female Indiana Jones” after finding alien artifacts in Mexico, she is, at heart, an ancient explorer of the origins of humanity.
Born in Chicago, Forti has called many cities her home, including New York City, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Kansas, and Prescott, Arizona. She currently resides in Maui, Hawaii. For more information, please consult: https://stackslibraryoftruth.com/
artist, writer
Ken Elliott is an artist and writer living in Castle Rock, Colorado.
He is a full-time artist, and someone who has experienced and collected astonishing stories for over 30 years.
His book, Manifesting 1, 2, 3 … and You Don’t Need #3 is not an ordinary Manifesting or Law of Attraction book.
The book contains critically new information beyond the Law of Attraction and makes the entire manifesting process amazingly simple. Special tools or talents are not necessary.
The book also provides an elegant tool for dealing with your worries and negative thoughts. Thoughts create, and you don’t want to empower the negative ones!
Ken has experienced sending objects in thought and having them appear in the home of someone gifted enough to describe what had been sent.
Ken learned that intentions instantaneously start to manifest on the Other Side.
Ken has commented, "I was fortunate. I directly learned that thought creates, and does so immediately.
“In this book, I relate how thoughts begin to form in the non-physical world, and how you can bring them into your life simply and efficiently! The information I gleaned is so simple, it is laughable.”
A number of true stories are included in the book to clarify concepts and for your encouragement.
This is a results-oriented book. Over and over, people tell Ken about their successes with Manifesting 1, 2, 3.
They say, “It just works!”
Start pointing yourself toward happiness and don't forget, there is a bonus…
