This past week and a half I’ve had a lot of head and chest congestion and when that happens, it’s easy for me to let myself get backed up in my work.  Much of what I do is by phone, so when I can’t do hours worth of calls each day, the work begins to pile up on me.  When I’m feeling stressed and rushed and overwhelmed, that’s when I’m glad to know about natural, herbal alternatives like Valerian and St. John’s Wort, which affect the same brain pathways as anti-anxiety drugs like Xanax.   Read more: “Valerian and St. John’s Wort for Anxiety: Relieving Anxiety and Depression with Mild Natural Herbs”.

UPDATE:  I WROTE THE BELOW POST EARLIER AND IT IS WRONG. THIS IS WACHOVIA/WELLS FARGO. If you see 336-970-4221 on your caller id, or have gotten a call from your bank telling you a loan payment is late when you know it is not, these people are PHISHING for your personal information in order to scam you or even steal your identity.  Read the experience others have had with this phone number.  I was checking voice mail and see this number called several times in one day but left no message.  Be safe.  When in doubt, Google it and go to  http://whocallsme.com/ And never give personal info out to anyone who calls you.  I AM LEAVING THIS UP FOR PEOPLE TO SEE.  THESE ARE NOT PHISHERS, IT IS WACHOVIAWELLS FARGO AND I WAS LATE ON A PAYMENT WITHOUT KNOWING IT – I checked my own files to tell me this.

Andrea

I’ve had a headcold for the past few days.  I always keep my Facebook friends posted with what I’m doing, so yesterday I wrote:  <wakes up, takes swig of Nyquil, thinks about soup, passes back out>  A girlfriend, who pulls no punches, joked – although we both knew it was no joke: “Andrea, why the heck are you manifesting illness? What is it about being sick you wish to experience?”  I love having friends who call me on my stuff! Continue reading →

Popular videos circulating on You Tube show the discovery of a spy camera and a microphone hidden inside a digital TV converter box.  Such devices are part of a government and industry surveillance program that is undoubtedly connected to the forced digital TV switchover being rolled out in the UK and US.  “I could not believe my eyes,” states the blurb accompanying the video clip, “I have a friend who is kind of a conspiracy theorist. He was trying to convince me that many of the digital TV convert boxes that are coming out have microphones and cameras built into them. Knowing a bit about electronics I bought one of these devices opened it up fully intending on proving him wrong. To my surprise he was right. This device has both a miniature camera lens and what looks like a microphone. I was so shocked I took pictures and video. Please send this out to everyone you know who is using one of these devices.” Continue reading →

Yesterday I wrote Asking Psychic Friends For Info in the Melbourne Beach Death of Nurse Kelly Brennan and the next post was Realtor Sheila Trott, Estranged Wife of former Mayor, Arrested in Beachside Slaying of Recovery Room Heart Nurse Kelly Brennan.  I’d posted on Facebook asking my psychic friends to take a moment to read the story, tune in to the matter and email any specific info that might be helpful.  I do a shout out like that when there are missing persons or crimes like this, that it would be helpful to have the blanks filled in to save investigation time. It gives a chance for all the Facebook friends who promote their psychic services to put their skills to work. Continue reading →

Yesterday I wrote Asking Psychic Friends For Info in the Melbourne Beach Death of Nurse Kelly Brennan, whose body was found earlier this week.  John Torres of Florida Today reports: “Last night Brevard County sheriff’s agents arrested a 44-year-old Indialantic woman Wednesday evening in the killing of her former friend, a 46-year-old nurse.  Sheila Trott, a Realtor and the estranged wife of former Indialantic Mayor Daniel Trott, was taken into custody about 5 p.m. She was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder. Sheriff’s agents said there was a clear motive for the crime, but they would not reveal it. Continue reading →

While I’m busy finishing up the March Horizons Magazine, I posted on Facebook: “Will all my psychic friends take a moment to read this story, tune in to this matter Investigators found woman’s car overnight and give any specific info that might be helpful. If you email me about it, I can keep track of when more than one person gets the same info. That’s not possible to do when info is being publicly posted in the comments.” Continue reading →

At Dr. Brian Weiss in Florida – Release Anxieties and Fears By Unlocking the Doors to Your Past, I wrote: Dr. Brian Weiss astonished the world of psychiatry with the theories of past-life regression therapy detailed in his best-selling book, Many Lives, Many Masters. Brian has become known as the nation’s foremost expert in the field. This highly experiential intensive workshop explores the latest in hypnotic regression therapy.  Hayhouse has donated two free passes to the March 13, 2010 10am to 5pm Many Lives, Many Masters: Experiencing Your Past Lives event at the Broward County Convention Center in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I am not sure yet if one winner will be chosen randomly to receive both free passes, or if two winners will be chosen.  Do you have any thoughts on that?  Email your name, address and phone number to horizonsmagazine@gmail.com.  Your name, address, phone number and email address will not be shared with anyone but Hayhouse so they can get the passes to you.  The random drawing will take place on on Full Moon Sunday February 28th, 2010.

I have self hypnosis audio files, mp3s and cds I’ve created and, while I don’t actively try to sell them, I have them at the old website.  So when all of a sudden I have a few dozen downloads out of nowhere, I always wonder how they found me and why they came in a clump.  The most recent clump came for my Sleepytime Recharge, and it’s the second best seller.  The feedback includes “I really appreciate your cds.   They came at the right time and they are very good.   They are making a major change in how I view my life  and I wanted to say thank you.” and  “I used to think I had chronic fatigue or was depressed, but I think now it was all related to my habit of thinking.  Thank you for helping me change that.”   And “I have more energy now, more clarity and feel motivated because of the suggestions on your cds. Your voice sounds just like I thought it would, like an angel.   It is so soothing and comforting to hear your words in your voice and know a difference is being made in my life. Thank you for making life good again.”  Wow. Continue reading →

Cash is hard to come by these days. So it’s not unusual to see barter arrangements between taxpayers.  You’ve probably even done a little of this yourself: No money actually changes hands, so it’s almost as if the transaction didn’t happen, right? Not exactly. The fair market value of goods and services that you receive in exchange for those you provide must be included as income on your tax return even though you don’t receive payment in a traditional way. If you’re not sure how to start bartering, consider a barter exchange.  A barter exchange is an organization with members that contract with each other to jointly barter for credits. Since they are strictly regulated by the IRS, you’ll receive a form 1099-B from the exchange indicating the amount of income to be reported.  What are tax consequences of bartering? Continue reading →
