@earthangel 

This is defiantly difficult news to read for sure.  Most of those energy producers will not do the right thing and choose not to keep current pollution controls on their own.    

I love Alt NPS and many of the other Alt gov handles.  They dispense important news that gets little to no media coverage.  What great pressure they are under every day. 

If you don't think your voice is important, the House dropped the selling of National Park land from the bill which is a huge win.  Unfortunately there is still oil and gas leasing and logging which will decimate nature and the bill defunds the National Parks and forests across the country as well as critical  Fish and Game programs.

This seems the most logical place to tell my story. My great grandmother was psychic. Growing up no one mentioned that. My sister got into the Ouija board at about 15. It treated her like she was a God. At 16 my parents put her in for evaluation because she was hard to handle. They kept her 2 weeks and said it was something genetic. My mother's best friend had a friend there and they said every time they put her under hypnosis she spoke French. This was 60's. My parents let her marry her boyfriend and move to Germany at age 17 because they could not handle her. They came to live back at our house when I was 12. One night after she was drinking on our patio, she stated that Grandma Avery and Aunt Davalee were at the corner. I went there and it was cold. Grandma Avery was the psychic, and I blamed her until I realize they were trying to protect her. A little later she asked "Pourquoi, Pourqoi,viva la Grandpere". Then she grabbed my arms leaving bruises. She grabbed her neck and fell to the ground like she was choking. Fran never took French, she took Spanish. Then got up and went to bed. This was the first of the many paranormal things that happened in our family. This is cathartic to tell. She was later diagnosed as Bipolar but that did not teach her french. It took me many years to accept my psychic abilities which are not nearly as strong as hers were. But now I am not scared by it, I am not ashamed of it, and I own it. Thank you for letting me shed this here. There was a demon or negative energy brought in the house with the ouija board and the seances they had there, and I hope it is not still there. The few people I have told this I think don't really accept it and think I am crazy. THIS IS TRUE and I could pass a lie detector test.

I second guessed myself for putting this on here. It is not something I made up. It was one of the most traumatic experiences I have ever had. My house was chaos once the Ouija board was brought in. I only told one of the most horrible experiences. Until the day she died when she was drinking heavily, she would lapse into French. I have witnesses to it. I am not making this up for the forum, it is true. It opened my mind to so much.

@averylegacy  your courage has set you free. I know how good it feels to be able to finally speak your truth… many on the Forum have had experiences that are difficult to share with the “mundane world.” I’m sending loving, healing, divine Reiki energy to surround, protect and uplift you and your family. Be at peace.

Thank you so much for the validation. I know my story is way out of the norm, not just psychic but crazy sounding. IT IS REAL. I hid it for many years. I was a software engineer and so normal, but this was always there. Your words mean so much, I realize this is out of the realm of what people think on here, but it happened and is real, I am not sure if it was reincarnation, or possession, but I lean to reincarnation. My parents took her to therapy for the first time when she was 7 and the answer was again this was genetic.

It appears that I have Covid again.. The test line was very faint so not a high concentration. Will restest tomorrow. 

Unfortunately, I was out and about and was exposed to or may have exposed a lot of people.

I saw a map of the world showing dots of infection around the world but U S is blank. They aren't allowing reports.

The good news, today was the last day of school. I have unending time to recover. 

Now I can see that symptoms were present but not unusual for me: falling asleep at a loud assembly,(insomnia) a lot of wheezing (ashthma), gi issues(a plethora of gi issues and illnesses) I am weakened with addiction and grief and fledgling attempts at prolonged self love, acceptance, and forgiveness.

Strangely I am resigned and calmer this time. Now I can't flirt with Sobriety and self care. I have to make a commitment. I have been so hard on myself that it is hard to break out of that pattern.

@ghandigirl Dear ghandigirl,

I can tell you from the situation in Europe that the vast majority of people now have a relatively well-managed immune response to the virus. It is comparable to other flu-like illnesses. However, if you have other serious chronic illnesses, it is important to consult a doctor early, as there are tablets that can prevent the virus from getting worse if taken within the first 48 hours of the first symptoms appearing. If this applies to you, that's what would been recommended here in Europe, is to go to the doctor today and check if he/she would like to prescribe you this preventive medication. I know all this because I work as a nurse here in Europe.
Regardless of the current COVID situation, it is definetely important for everyone to be committed to self-care. Sometimes you need supportive people around you to help you until you are ready to take care of yourself again. I send you lots of love and light, and I hope that you will meet these people very soon if you are in need. May your path back to self-care be full of the kind of love and light that makes it easy to accept and embrace. This is not always easy for many people, even when love and light are so precious. Sometimes it is not easy for the very best of us, and even when you are devoted to care for others, it is harder to care for oneself well. Best wishes for your recovery, dear ghandigirl

@ghandigirl  There's a new variant that's supposed to be more transmissible but not necessarily stronger. I hope you're better soon.

That's a brave and determined realization.  Huzzah!   Follow through-- you can do it--we are all behind you. 😊

@averylegacy   I believe you.   There have been quite a few cases of people being able to speak a language they had no apparent way of learning.  I do not know what the situation was with your sister-- I would guess reincarnation but I have no way of knowing for certain. 

Also,  I had a pretty weird experience with a Ouija board when I was a teenager. I threw it in the garbage afterwards, it scared me that much.  I didn't know anything about banishing or protection rituals at the time but I do remember telling the spirit to go away.  And I don't think it hung around.
