I grew up on a farm in Ontario, Canada. By the time I was 6 it was apparent that I had anger issues. From there, I was a problem child and as a teenager, I was the sort that you wouldnât want your own kids hanging out with.
At 17 I realized that I wasnât liked by most folks and took my first personal development course â Transactual Analysis. Then Adventures in Attitude.
In my late 20âs my sister recruited me into Amway and I spend 4 years devouring their personal development materials, though I never worked the business.
From there, I landed on a team of people building an internet community for the website of John Milton Fogg, an author of some wonderful Network Marketing/personal development books. This is where I was introduced to the law of attraction and Ester Hicks/Abraham.
Most of that team moved together to build a new community called Powerful Intentions which grew to 200,000 strong. As things changed on the internet we drifted apart and went on to other things. That other thing for me was The Magic Happens Magazine. I was 44 at that time.
Some folks are still with us now who started with us.
I met my husband, who lived in Norway (though he is from Denmark) through The Magic Happens. After 2 years of us both flying back and forth between Canada and Norway to spend time together, we decided to get married. I moved to Norway permanently in 2010.
September 2015 I left Norway for almost a whole year to get custody of my grandchildren. July 2016, we brought them home to live with us. They are both special needs kids and require a lot of my time. They are doing well and we love them dearly.

*As of May 9th around 4,057,000 have been infected worldwide, with 278,000 deaths. Take comfort that over 1,415,000 have recovered. (Worldometers.info) ** It is definitely slowing. May this trend continue.
MAY EDITORIAL: Scenarios for Doomsday
* As we remember Victory in Europe 75 years ago is there something brewing to bring war and desolation back into sharp focus?
Seven Days in May a novel by Fletcher Knebel tells the story of a plot to overthrow the US President because he supports a nuclear demilitarization treaty and they fear a Soviet sneak attack. It was later made into one of the best political/military thrillers in 1964, directed by John Frankenheimer with a screenplay by Rod Serling. (Later of ‘Twilight Zone’ fame.)
Why bring this up now, aside from it being May. I believe there are scenarios developing that could endanger the whole world. These might be as a result of those Covid nightmares that people talk about or just a natural pessimist’s reasoning. August 2020 could be a very dangerous time for all of us.
Scenario 1: As Trump ramps up pressure on China to admit to responsibility for Covid-19 and destroying the world economy, they react with ever increasing shrill rhetoric. By August the death toll in the USA from the virus could be in the 300,000 mark thanks to the Republican States prematurely breaking lockdown under Trumpâs encouragement. The virus is out of control and Trump needs a distraction from his glaring shortcomings. China can see that the US Navy is suffering from the virus as is the US Army. They take the opportunity to test Trump’s resolve and attack Taiwan. What will Trump do as a âwar presidentâ to get re-elected?
Scenario 2: As the virus rages out of control in Russia and Putinâs popularity sink ever lower as people die in their thousands in primitive hospitals and are actually starving in the countryside, too sick to harvest â Putin must act by August. He has a choice. Seize Ukraine or Estonia. Easy pickings and he knows he has a puppet in the White House who cares little for NATO. A few native Russians might be encouraged to riot in either country and get killed and he will ride in to save the rest from oppression. He will be a hero again. Europe is reeling from the virus and virtually bankrupt â ditto USA. They might choose to do nothing or risk a war they cannot afford.
Scenario 3: Unemployment in the USA reaches 40 million by late July as the economy struggles to come back and the virus sweeps through in a second wave and people refuse to go into a second lockdown. Trump has to act or lose the November election, even if his Democratic rival is quite possibly dead of old age and no one has seen him ‘live’ since March. He needs a war. China is obvious, heâs been ramping up hatred for months but their armies and navies are healthy and well equipped and his arenât. However North Korea is ready to test their new nuclear missiles and despite his âloveâ for Kim the dictator, a preemptive strike would be popular with his base. What will China do in response? (Alt scenario is to attack Iran and get the price of oil up again for his friends in ‘Big Oil’.)
That should give you something to chew on this weekend.
§ Earlier thoughts.
Howâs it going? Got your divorce lawyer on speed dial yet? Filled out any forms to have your kids put up for adoption? Is your dog worn out from too many walks from everyone desperate to get outside?
Everyone keeps saying everything will look different after the virus has gone. Well itâs quite possible democracy will be the major casualty as populist figures rise up to blame the politicians in charge right now â no matter that there was very little they could do about it. Sadly the current crop of populist leaders in the USA and Brazil for example take pride in making things worse for all. A little bleach will solve everything right? Some countriesâ lockdowns, like Indiaâs for example, were unnecessarily cruel and unplanned and did not allow people to stock up on food. The only positive is that the virus seems not to affect younger populations. This might be true or simply the fact the virus hasn’t reached there yet. Time will tell.
I guess we must congratulate New Zealand for containing and beating the virus but how will they open up to tourism again without quarantining every soul who finds a way to get there? Hope will they survive without tourism? Will we be even be able to take any holidays this year? The risk of catching the virus on Ryanair or the ferry seem very high right now and for months ahead. Never mind getting adequate treatment once abroad. Travel will be the major casualty from all this. British Airways already wants to fire 12,000 staff. (Letâs hope itâs all the grumpy, snarky ones).
I wonder how many airlines will be in business post Covidâ19 and what the fares will be and who will be able to afford them or tolerate 4 Hour check-ins and 14 day quarantine when you get to where you’re going? I note in The Times 28/4 that they expect between 1000 to 2400 airliners will be repossessed in the next two/three months. Doesnât augur well for Boeing or Airbus selling new planes, or Rolls Royce/G.E. jet engines. I note Warren Buffet has sold out of everything to do with airlines. No doubt we shall all shed tears for Richard Branson and Virgin. What no tears? Me either. Sorry. There will be so many familiar stores and venues that will have gone bust by the time lockdown ends; all we will have is Amazon. Empty Malls will become ghost towns for tomorrowâs kids to wonder at. Although I read they are opening up in the USA already. Lets all rush to GAP and the tatto parlours. You first.
I guess we shall be studying all those places that open up and go back to work and see if the virus expands again. I think itâs wise in the UK to wait and see. Meanwhile the first of my lettuces is ready to eat and the broccoli is showing signs of life too, as are the potatoes. Hope you planted something too.
I’ll end this with remembering all those who had died and the brave souls who treated them at great risk to themselves. Spare a thought too for those who died at home, too scared to leave or struck down with a heart attack (one of the curious symptoms of the virus). If you didnât appreciate your doctors, nurses, cleaners, and sundry service workers before this â I hope the hell you do now. And here’s a shout out for Dentists. We all need them and soon and we need a scheme to see them safely even sooner!
Or try the classic plague novel whilst incarcerated on the sofa ‘La Peste‘ by Albert Camus. They wonât cure you but might just help you survive and help pass the time.

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Rebecca Joy, on-air from May5th
My journey of self-discovery began a few years after leaving a well-known, international cult I was born into. After leaving the cult, I believed that if I were to leave my painful life I would be happy and be loved. I was grateful for my physical freedom that I never experienced before starting a new life, but my emotional pain from the past haunted me feeling the same negative emotions of being unworthy of love and unworthy to live. Like most traumatized people, they hope for a better life but unsure of how to go about it.
My first biggest change of awareness happened when I went to school for hypnosis and NLP. I realized that if I wanted to change my life, I had to change myself from the inside out through healing the unconscious past memories and transforming my perceptions. I began to realize that no one could save me but within myself.
That was more than 16 years ago. My passion is now helping people know who they are and to heal and empower themselves. As Glinda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz, âYouâve always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.â You are worthy and loved just for being here. There is nothing that you have to do to be worthy. You are one with the infinite.

Sensual Expressions with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Shelly Negelow, on air from May 5th
What is the experience of sensuality? Sensuality is the vibration in the body which heightens the senses. The senses are for experiencing the three dimensional world, and as a result of the heightening of the senses, there is a heightening of the experience of the body.
Sensuality is expanding the body vibration into the world and being one with it. For instance, sexual sensuality is the complete connection with someone else. Sensuality can also occur with smell, how someone looks, whether they are fat, thin, big or little. What we do to experience sensuality is an individual thing. There are common things we do of course. We experience sensuality through sensual food, sensual smells, sensual vision. The full vibration of sensuality is our heightened senses.
The purpose of human sensuality is to bring a feeling of joy, peace, calm, wholeness to the body. And sexual sensuality is the heightened experience of the brain chemistry.
What happens when sensuality get short-circuited, when we donât get what we want or the experience is missing altogether? We are inserting our illusions into the experience. So it makes the vibrational body experience feel out of sorts.
