it's a new year........

astrologically speaking, it's the year of the dragon. numerologically speaking, it's a "9" year (2007=2+0+0+7=9). what does this mean for you and me? i don't know. let us ask the prophecy experts. i listened to quite a few of them last night on coast to coast radio.

lots of storm activity, especially an increase in earthquakes and volcanos along the ring of fire in asia, most particularly japan.

possible nuclear meltdown, or a close call, here in the united states.

new bacterial illness in march.

increased accidents affecting children.

serious fires in the summer.

the pope will deal with health problems in april and october.

merging of oil and television companies. (which was heralded as a good thing by this particular psychic. wtf??)

a major ufo event in chicago.

not that i care, but the careers of rosie o'donnell and katie couric will fizzle this year.

lots of hints at a run in 2008 for al gore, but indicators show this will happen in 2012.

****
those are some highlights. what does this mean for you and i? i don't know. i could get into a major ufo event as long as it's benign, although i don't live near chicago. the health problems of the pope and careers of rosie and katie are of no consequence to me since i believe one is a deviant and the other two are of mediocre talent. what bothered me most was one person's prediction--a dr. louis turi--who said there was a karmic universal energy that was going to be targeting our children. how sick is that? children would be experiencing increased accidents and illness. i thought karma was about what you put out comes back to you. i don't know about you, but i certainly do not believe children put out energy that says "make others sick/destroy". i leave that one to the adults.

i'm not a psychic, but i have had experiences that have come to pass. the day before 9/11, i "knew" something awful was going to happen the next day, that the plans were already in place, and that i could do nothing about it. the morning the challenger crashed, i had a dream where some craft had crashed in a field. i've felt people i am close to "pass" upon their death--before knowing they have left the earth. what do i predict for the new year?

chaos.
questioning.
corruption.
greed.
lies and excuses.

and i also predict there will be a growing trend amongst people like myself who are tired of struggling, who are tired of working to ensure others create more and hold onto their wealth while we go without. we will rise up, come together in unique ways, and begin to talk about new ways of living that create the road to our own personal liberation, freedom and sustainability. in other words, a lot of what we call "modern living" is going to become a dying trend, for the very least of reasons being it has harmed our planet long enough and she, along with people like myself, are speaking up and saying "NO MORE".

happy new year--and may it indeed BE a "new" year.
