I'M A GRANDMA

Little Baby D, alias Cutie Pie, was born via C section yesterday morning at 6:04 in Bismarck, ND after 30+ hours of labor.  We're all exhausted--very VERY happily exhausted!!

She weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.  That's almost as long as her mother was when she was born who was 21 inches long. 

I wasn't sure what it would be like to be a grandma but, when I talked to Cutie Pie, she looked at me as if she knew me.  The midwife said that she did.  I'm so happpppppy!

Photos coming soon--with the parent's permission, of course!

A Rebuke

Today I received a rebuke from a reader here.  It seemed rather cowardly not to come out and out and say it to my face.  However, with what I am given, I will do my best to defend myself.  Here are the exact words of the rebuke. 

I have heard that many people who had been healed by demonic energy got other, serious illnesses later on, or the healing was not permanent. I'll pray for you Dawn, that the lord Jesus christ would warn you about energy healing methods. I think that you and your family are nice people, so it is very sad that you are involved in demonic energy healing.

It made me sad that after 10 years of serving the Lord, through the healing tools He has given to me, this would be dropped at my doorstep.  This person assumes that I have not prayed extensively for wisdom as to which energy tools to keep and which to let go of.

 I'm assuming this is someone who has never had a session with me.  They have not heard me begging God for direction in how best to ease their sufferings.  They have not felt my heart of compassion for those who have had a lifetime of pain and suffering as I have. 

I'm not going into all the things that are wrong with this type of thinking.  I don't have the time but I will say that this person makes 1 wrong assumption.  They assume that I was healed from the shingles on the brain.  I have never recovered from that dreadful illness in 2006.  Robert DID take me to 4 doctors at that time all of who offered me no hope whatsoever.  Indeed, my body would be in the local cemetery for a decade now if I had not found energy healing at that time.

To be sure, I'm very grateful that God led me to a Christian practitioner.  Many folks have told me since then that they are very thankful that they found me to be a sincere Christian, with whom they can share their faith, as we work together.

After I read these scathing words, I contacted a Christian client with whom I have worked over 3 years now.  This is what she had to say about this subject. 

I have never doubted your faith.  Sometimes we need doctors, too, as I do go.  But they would never have found the things BodyTalk found wrong with me which has saved me many times from death and ER.

She concluded her thoughts like this. 

God gave you these tools so I totally believe how He leads you to the right ones and the answers I need.

One last thought I have for ALL who assume that I am serving the enemy.  Does this imply that God is in charge of the medical system which pushes drugs down people's throats and cuts out body parts needlessly MANY times every day?

Now, I, like my client I quoted above am very grateful for the emergency services provided by our medical system.  My brother got shot recently, and he received an incredible surgery to restore his hand.  WOW That's amazing!!

However, the medical system knows very little about health and wellness.  I suffered many times from the medications that I was prescribed--as has my family.  We're not even going into vaccinations here.  NOPE.

My advice to this reader is to pray for wisdom from the Lord before undergoing ANY type of healing procedure.  The loving Heavenly Father will lead you in the way that He has for YOU.  In the meantime, you might hold off with the judgements of those who have been called to a different path than yourself.

God's best to all,

Dawn

Am I healed?

This is going to be a very strange blog post.  There now, I warned you all.

In my last blog post, I shared how a leader in the radionics community called on all radionic operators world wide to send healing frequencies to the Earth and it's residents during the eclipse.  I was super excited to do so and got on that right away yesterday morning.  I used my big system with 14 banks!

About 2 hours before the partial eclipse began here, I started feeling it.  I could feel that the energies were healing my heart!!!

As it grew darker, I could feel tingles going up and down my spine.  For a little while, it was hard to breathe.

 As the energies of the eclipse AND the combined efforts of radioinc operators world wide worked on my lungs, they filled with healing power.  My lungs have been unhealthy since I was a child.  I've had pneumonia 3 times and bronchitis countless times--many times per Winter. 

Could my lungs be restored by an Eclipse alone?  What about my heart?  Here's the big question--can my nerves damaged from MS, be restored in a few hours?  All of those thousands of radionic broadcasts surly played a major role? 

Then a friend called and we praised God together that we were alive to experience such a thing!  I cried tears of joy.

Cora came over and I got out in the sunshine and we watched the eclipse through our welding helmet.  I said to Cora, "I think I'm being healed."  She just stared at me.  It was such an eerie moment as the moon came between the earth and the sun.

Then clients came and I worked in the recovering light of day but I was different.  It seemed effortless to work on clients.  It was a GREAT JOY!  I did what needed doing and said what needed saying and it was appreciated.  I didn't have the usual self-doubts after the sessions!  I felt good!

Then I made supper for my sweetie and me and it all seemed effortless.  That's the word that keeps returning to my mind.  EFFORTLESS!!

My life, up until yesterday, has never been effortless.  It has been a struggle for as long as I can remember.  So I ask the question, which only time can answer, "AM I HEALED?"  Is this what being healed feels like?  I really don't know and, after decades of disappointments, I am cautious about letting my heart sore in great joy, but I truly have never felt this way before.

If you had a similar experience during the eclipse yesterday, would you please share a comment here?  If there are others, then certainly there is the possibility that I am healed.

Can you imagine me being healed?  I wonder if I can??

World Wide Healing

I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!
 
I just read this email from a friend who uses energy healing tools every day to bring peace to plants, animals, and the Earth.  He's the friend who taught me his life's motto is "Team work makes the dream work!"  That attitude is SO right on and I smile every time I think of his words!
 
This email explains his newest notion for helping us all!  If you are a radionic operator, and you want to be a part of this super project, I invite you to join us all tomorrow. 
 
TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK!!  LET'S GET TO WORK, TEAM!!!!!!
 
Dawn

PS.  As a radionic reminder, if there is anyone reading this who would care to have the opposite affect, I wouldn't try it.  If your instructor never taught you this, I'm going to do you a favor.  What you put out comes right back at you!  The last thing I would want to experience is all of this intention in reverse coming my way!  That's really something to think about!!! 
 
 
Hello Friends!

Tomorrow a solar eclipse will cross North America, passing in totality from Lincoln City, Oregon, to Charleston, South Carolina. Historically, eclipses have been regarded as an event of Death and Rebirth - the sun is consumed by darkness, only to return triumphantly to the sky later that day.

We find ourselves in pattern where the headlines are filled with incredible negativity, with friends and family split asunder by external forces.   I invite you to help put an end to this destructive cycle by participating in a worldwide, synchronized broadcast using your radionic instrument.  The focus of our intent will be to add resonance to the positive rebirth of our nation and our world throughout this celestial event. Here's the plan:

1. Follow this link to a NASA photo of the Earth, then print it out and place it in the sample well.  If you cannot print the photo, simply write "Planet Earth" and "Everyone" on the piece of paper and put that in the well.

Planet Earth

2. Anytime tomorrow, but especially between the hours of 6:00 am to 4:30 pm Eastern Standard Time, set your instrument to:

Bank 1:  "Divine Love":  39.00 - 43.00
Bank 2: "Harmony":  54.00 - 47.50

If you have an additional bank on your instrument, feel free to cold scan for a supporting rate that maximizes the positive impact of the first two rates.  Also feel free to add any symbols, herbs, colors, oils, or other reagents that add the energies of light, love, healing, and unity to our worldwide broadcast.

3. Turn on your amp and broadcast for the duration.

Together we can turn the tide and restore the purifying light of Love to the darkest corners of this planet!

Thank you for your help!

Rough week

It's been a rough week for me.  Two friends are getting weaker and will soon leave this world.  An ex-convict is trying to get a cult started in our part of the world.  A friend's family is falling apart. My daughters are "Great with child," and pretty uncomfortable AND MY BROTHER GOT SHOT!!!
 
You may recall that 1 of my brothers died in April and now my youngest brother was attacked and shot in the hand.  He was going out for his early morning bicycle ride when 2 masked men entered his garage and shot him!!! 
 
They had the gun to his head, and he was sure that it was the end for him, when something happened and they shot his hand instead.  I believe that his angels protected him!!!  I appreciate prayers for Rick as he is in great pain in his hand.  They also pistol butted his face so he's having vision problems and trouble moving his jaw.  He needs to get back to work so please pray for his strength to return and the pain to leave!
 
I'm always hurting, but I am hurting really badly today, and I don't seem to be thinking the best either.  I apologize if my writing is substandard but it's where I'm at right now.
 
Today is one of the days that I dream of going to Heaven.  I would so love for the hurting to be over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Now a client is desperate for some relief, so I'd best go see if I can help her, but I dream of Heaven a lot these days!
 
As always, the Booth Brothers have captured my sentiments perfectly.
 
Weary,

Dawn

Let's get to work

As I came on here to wish you all a restful Sabbath, I felt the nudge to share this video under the title, "Let's get to work."  Isn't that a bit of a paradox?
 
I've been watching this video and am encouraged like never before!  If you are a servant of the Most High God, CHEER UP!!!! 
 
GOD IS TAKING BACK THE WORLD FROM THE ENEMY!!!!
 
Shabbat Shalom, my loves,

My pet peeve

I had English teachers, while I grew up in the South Dakota Public School system, who truly cared about how we wrote!  All of those boring lessons are a BIG blessing in my life now!! 
 
Of course, it just about drives me crazy to see poor writing.  "I seen him do it."  "He don't do it right!" "Everybody done a good job."  "He sure ain't a good writer."  "Are children write good don't they?"  NO, THEY DON'T!!
 
This is something that has troubled me for decades!  Grammar errors on business billboards especially bug me.  There are endless examples of this from unbelievable deals to eating the cook.
 
So I get discouraged with how seldom people even notice the decay of the English language all around us. I even get a little lazy, now that I do texting, but it nags at me that I know better than that.
 
I keep wishing that there was something I could do to help people with their writing skills.  I am a teacher, after all, but who could teach the whole country? 
 
This morning, as I watched my favorite news show on Facebook, I was appalled at the total disregard for grammar in the written comments of the other viewers.  There were so many writing mistakes that my stomach started churning. 
 
 "THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS," I thought.  So I went to Goggle and typed in something about how to repair terrible writing.  This article came up and, seeing as it is well-written, I decided to share it with you all.  At the very least, I was comforted in knowing that MANY others suffer right along with me as we wonder "What ever happened to grammar lessons?"
 
Mr. Bernoff  has written a book on how to write better for greater business success!  In this article, he shares some information about how poor writing has financial ramifications! I had never considered this aspect of the problem.  Now I can see that our poor writing epidemic is an even BIGGER disaster than I had realized!
 
I like Mr. Bernoff's simple suggestions for how to improve our writing skills. I share them with the hopes that I have caused no offense where it was not needed.  However, if you find that the shoe fits, I hope that you will calmly take a few hints from this article and improve your writing skills.  The world will thank you for it and you may just find yourself moving forward in the business world!
 
Hats off to English teachers who still teach writing!

Dawn
 
PS.  I'm thinking of buying his book, "Writing Without Bullshit: Boost Your Career by Saying What You Mean" if for no other reason than to raise eyebrows when people see it on my book shelf.  On the other hand, I just may learn some things which will help my business grow.  HMMMMM
 
 
 
Bad Writing Costs Businesses Billions
It’s not just a chore to wade through the badly written memos, emails, and other lousy business communication—this inefficiency costs us insane amounts of money.
There is a fundamental inefficiency at the heart of American business. It is right in front of all of our faces, and yet we fail to recognize it.
It’s the fuzzy, terrible writing we slog through every day at work. And it’s costing American businesses nearly $400 billion every year.
Think about it. You start your day wading through first-draft emails from colleagues who fail to come to the point. You consume reports that don’t make clear what’s happening or what your management should do about it.
The websites, marketing materials, and press releases from your suppliers are filled with jargon and meaningless superlatives. This problem is as common as rust, and just as welcome; in my survey of businesspeople who write at work, 81 percent agreed with the statement: “Poorly written material wastes a lot of my time.”
Poor writing creates a drag on everything you do. It functions like a tax, sapping your profits, and I can quantify it. American workers spend 22 percent of their work time reading; higher compensated workers read more.
According to my analysis, America is spending 6 percent of total wages on time wasted attempting to get meaning out of poorly written material. Every company, every manager, every professional pays this tax, which consumes $396 billion of our national income. That’s more than half of what we pay for Medicare—but the poor writing tax pays for nothing but waste.
We’re so immersed in this stuff that we hardly notice it any more. I’m talking about job descriptions like this one, from a health care company:
“The Area Vice President, Enterprise Customers will develop and manage a sustainable strategic relationship that transforms the current commercial model by creating joint value that results in the ongoing reduction of costs, continuous process improvement, growth and profitability for both partners with the ability to export key learnings.”
How much time did the HR department and the job candidates waste trying to figure that out?
How about the lede from ++ Samsung’s recent statement ++ [https://news.samsung.com/global/statement-on-galaxy-note7] about its smartphones?
“Samsung is committed to producing the highest quality products and we take every incident report from our valued customers very seriously. In response to recently reported cases of the new Galaxy Note7, we conducted a thorough investigation and found a battery cell issue.”
Battery cell issue? The phones are catching on fire—but you’d never know it from the company’s statement, which mentions only “incidents.” Say what you mean.
Of all the serious problems in the American workplace, this one is the most solvable. And we can solve it one company, one culture, one worker at a time.
The first step is to adopt what I call “The Iron Imperative” in everything you write: treat the reader’s time as more valuable than your own.
To embrace it means that every time you send an email or write a document, you must take a moment to structure it for maximum readability and meaning. We are lazy; we’d rather save our own time than someone else’s. But writers who adopt The Iron Imperative stand out in the workplace for clarity and efficiency, and are more likely to get ahead. Workplace cultures that adopt it will reduce their poor writing tax.
Josh Bernoff has been a professional writer for more than 30 years, including two decades as a well-known technology analyst. He is the coauthor of three books on business strategy, and his new book from HarperBusiness is Writing Without Bullshit: Boost Your Career by Saying What You Mean.

Getting nervous

You may laugh at my being nervous about becoming a grandmother but I AM nervous.  First of all, I've never been a grandmother before.  Secondly, I am becoming a grandmother TWICE in one week from two different children. 

 How will I juggle it all? 

How will I know if I am welcome to stay or if I should go home?  Or maybe I should go to the other new parent's house? 

Will I be strong enough to deal with any new demands on my time? 

What if I don't like the name they have chosen for their child?  What if I like one name better than I like the other name?
 
What if I strongly disagree with something that one set of parents chooses to do with their child?  Can I keep my mouth shut?  Is that the best thing to do or are they desperately needing to hear my opinion?  After all I have raised 3 children to adulthood and I dare say they've all turned out well!
 
As usual, I went to see if  Mr. & Mrs. Google have any advice for me.  What a sigh of relief to find this article just waiting for me to discover. If any of you has any advice for me, I would love to hear it too.  I am open to all intelligent, Godly advice there is.
 
Asking for prayers for our family this month.  It's going to be an adventure--that's for sure.
 
Here's to all of you wonderful Grandparent's out there!

7 Unbreakable Laws of Grandparenting

Our columnist shares the family rules that can keep you out of trouble.

By Barbara Graham
On the one hand, it was so simple. There was a new baby, Isabelle Eva, and there was nothing to do except love her. That was the one hand. The other hand, belonging to her parents, held all the cards. I soon learned that I could love my granddaughter fiercely, but I had no say — in anything. She was mine, but not mine. Although this is perfectly natural and should not have shocked me, it did. (Okay, I admit that on occasion the word bossy has been used to describe my behavior. Still.) For many parents used to being in charge, deferring to the rules and wishes of our adult children and their partners is humbling. I ended up editing a book on the subject  to help me get a handle on my new role. Here are a few guidelines that — so far — have kept me out of hot water.

1. Seal your lips. Even if you’re an expert who has written 13 bestsellers on parenthood, your adult sons and daughters will assume you know nothing about childrearing. Your advice and opinions will not be welcome, unless directly solicited. (Even then, it’s iffy as to whether the new parents really want to hear your answer.) Tread lightly. As Anne Roiphe laments in Eye of My Heart, "Ah, my poor tongue is sore from being bitten."

2. You may love thy grandchild as thine own — but never forget that he or she is not thine own. I was confused about this in the beginning. I was at the hospital when Isabelle was born and I thought we were all one big happy family. Not. I had to win over her parents. They loved me — I knew that — but did they trust me? In the early days I felt as if I were auditioning for the part of grandparent. Did I hold Isabelle properly? Didn’t I know that you never put a newborn down on her stomach? It took me a few blunders to secure their trust — which must be renewed every so often, like a driver’s license.
3. Abide by the rules of the new parents. The dos and don'ts of childrearing change with every generation. If I had listened to my mother, I would have held my son only while feeding him (every four hours) — and not one second longer, lest he turn into a “mama’s boy." These days, with the crush of childrearing information online, most new parents are up to speed — and beyond — but we grandparents most definitely are not. Baby slings? The Mutsy Slider Stroller? Who knows what these things are, or how to operate them?

4. Accept your role. If you’re the mother of the new father, you may not have the same access to your grandchild as the maternal grandmother, at least in the beginning. In most families, new mothers are the primary caretakers of babies and they tend to lean on their mothers for support. This is not a problem — unless you think it is. Your grandchild will love you too. Anyhow, all grandparents — whether on the maternal or paternal side — are at risk of being shut out if they fail to observe any of these commandments. Try to think of yourself as a relief pitcher in a baseball game: You're on the bench until your adult children call you up — and then you must do as they say if you want to stay in the game. (We've already covered this, but I think it's key.)
5. Don’t be surprised if old issues get triggered when your child has a child. For many people, feelings of competition with their grandchild's other grandparents provoke traumatic flashbacks to junior high school. This is especially true now, given the proliferation of divorce and stepfamilies. Not only that, some grandparents are able to lavish the kids with expensive gifts, while others live much closer to the children than their counterparts. Still, a little goodwill goes a long way. The heart is a generous muscle capable of loving many people at once, and most of us are able to get past the initial rush of jealousy to find our special place in the new order. (Yes, of course we still secretly hope that our grandchildren will love us more than those other people. We are, after all, human.)
6. Get a life. Sometimes I’ve become overly embroiled in my concern for my son and his family; at other times my desire to be an integral part of their lives has taken precedence over things I needed to do to maintain my own sense of well-being — and I’ve paid the price. Hence, my mantra: “I have my life, they have theirs.” We are close and connected, yet separate. Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.

7. Let go of all expectations. When Isabelle Eva was born she was living around the corner from us, but when she was two months old her parents moved her overseas. Not only was I heartbroken, my expectations about my involvement in her life were turned upside down. Yet, once I was able to let go of my agenda — which took some doing — I found that I still felt deeply connected to Isabelle and vice-versa. Now my husband and I visit her as often as we can and, in between visits, we Skype and talk on the phone. There are bound to be unpredictable plot twists in every family narrative, but, unless you are raising your grandchildren, your adult children are writing their own story. (See No. 4: Relief pitcher, on the bench.) Who knew that grandparenthood would offer so many new opportunities for personal growth?
Ultimately, the good news about becoming a grandparent, and not being in charge anymore, is that nothing is your fault, either. As Roxana Robinson writes in Eye of My Heart, "It's like being told you no longer have to eat vegetables, only dessert — and really only the icing."
Barbara Graham, a Grandparents.com columnist, is the editor of the anthology, Eye of My Heart: 27 Writers Reveal the Hidden Pleasures and Perils of Being a Grandmother (Harper), which tells "the whole crazy, complicated truth about being a grandmother in today's world."
