    I believe in precognition. You must have lost a ton of weight to be proud to see your ankles. Nice facts. Congrats on graduating and pursuing an education.

      I was talking to a numerologist and card reader. Told her about a month before my dad died, my then husband, brother, sister and I were talking about a funeral. When my dad died, we were in the same room, discussing the same thing. Scared the heck out of me. She was the one who said that I was probably a precog, but, I never nourished it. Said it’s never too late! Most of the weight was water gain! LOL. I gained 50 lbs with her. She was born on 12/12 and on 12/24 I saw my bones. I screamed I was so thrilled! LOL

    I have the traveling bug myself. I’d love to tour the country in an RV. I did it once with my extended family in 1989 and it was horrible. This time would be better. 🙂

      I’ve never done it! I’ve driven to FL, ME and AR, but, I cannot wait until I’m able to just hit the road and go. I know I’m not a spring chicken anymore, but, want to do it before it’s too late.

    What a fun idea. I should write one of these and connect it to my about page so folks get to know me better. We have quite a few things in common. I am also a homebody, loyal, a good secret keeper and afraid for our country too.

      It will be a few years still. I have to wait until my daughter graduates. But, I will definitely be writing about it!

    Well, this was a different and fun post to read- and brave, unique, and indepth – congratulations on your books! And all that you’ve found in your life – I am aware that you do need to pay attention to your talents and gifts – being a precog is like playing the piano – you become stronger the more attention you pay to it – it will always be there 🙂
