Overall, I wish us a good New Year 2026, gaining deeper peace and joy, true and lasting insights, and memorably happy times!

 

I expectantly hope that I will have a better year after a challenging 2025. While I have goals and positive aspirations, it is apparent that I haven’t been able to be as outwardly productive as I want to be. I work on things in myself and my environment on a daily basis, so I am productive although not publicly. I am not a public persona anyway; I want to connect with people who can “see” me and have real resonance with what I stand for.

Believe it or not, I don’t like drawing much attention to myself. I am a fairly private person except when sharing what I think would enrich a bigger picture and open conversation, or give support to those who are experiencing something similar. I also have shared a lot when feeling flowing connection between me and select others, although I am even more selective now.

A big reason why I have refrained from sharing much about me personally is because of the “spiritual” arena into which my work is generally classified. My work frequently critiques the rigid, fundamentally illogical, and often harmful beliefs and practices of mainstream and niche spiritualities, religions, and scientific theories. Already, that can set me up for attacks, which are mainly intended to hurt me personally instead of intelligently address my published work. Furthermore, when I have I divulged my physical and emotional difficulties, some people have doubted and discredited my higher awareness and abilities. I have never claimed to be superhuman nor anything other than what I know I am.

The reason I have not been publicly active in 2025 is that I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, along with the previously stated biotoxin illness.

Regarding the biotoxin illness, it is now more widely accepted and believed by the medical establishment because most of its symptoms are similar to long haul COVID, especially when the biotoxin illness is caused by another nasty virus. (I was never vaccinated for COVID, by the way.) My version of biotoxin illness is caused by decades of acute and chronic Epstein-Barr virus and a genetic weakness toward mold and fungus, as shown in DNA testing. I had a near-fatal attack of Valley Fever when I was 19 years old, which was caused by airborne fungal spores in a region of California. Those organisms left lasting weaknesses in my immune system; despite my best efforts, I have not been able to entirely eradicate their residual effects.

I fairly recently learned that I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a congenital connective tissue disorder, after a lifetime of what I call “partial dislocations” in probably every joint of my body. My skilled chiropractor calls them “misalignments” for legal purposes, but he supports my terminology because of the syndrome’s complications. In my words, areas of my body “pop out” hundreds of times a day, sometimes strongly with severe pain. It has caused multiple herniated and bulging disks in my neck and back, and osteoarthritis since a relatively young age.

The rebound inflammation, stiffness, and pain from the partial to—very rarely—total dislocations have been a main cause of the fibromyalgia I’ve experienced since I was a young teen. The biotoxin illness and nervous system damage (that’s another story, and it probably causes the frequent muscle spasms) are the other reasons for the moderate to severe fibromyalgia I endure daily. As I wrote above, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is genetic, and one of the comorbidities in my case is dysautonomia, known as the acronym POTS—I don’t need to list its symptoms, but I want to note that its imbalance is very different from external energetic discordances that I can easily discern. I need to have low stress and live with as much mindfulness as possible over the “brain fog,” fatigue, and etcetera in order to take care of what I need to at home.

I run a small-sized animal sanctuary primarily for cats. I also take care of opossums and the occasional raccoon. Around 20 outdoor animals depend on me for food. Five of the outdoor cats have become a family and consider me as their mother, and a sixth hungry cat—who likes me petting him—is currently trying to join that family (I am getting him neutered next week). I also have two indoor cats, one of whom is being treated for both hyperthyroidism and intestinal lymphoma. Other cats and animals arrive nightly for feedings. Every year now, there is at least one special opossum who basically adopts me and my outside cat family. After one sadly passes, another one or two soon show up and sometimes stay the night. I provide cat houses, blankets and towels, and sufficiently healthy (and expensive) cat food and filtered water.

Animals who are sick or dying come to me. Those times are very sad and challenging, but they are also rewarding to know that they trust me to take care of them in their time of great need. I do what I can for one of the sweetest cats ever, an orange, polydactyl cat, who has colon cancer. Another cat has stomatitis, and she is doing better after a nearly $2,000 surgery. I welcome and really appreciate donations via my website’s Donate button because I use my small savings to take care of them. I don’t want to let them suffer. They are wonderful beings who are intrinsically valuable and have helped me and my mother gain new perspectives. Besides my own abilities, my mother has greatly helped by using her awesome telepathy to directly communicate with the animals. I plan to make a video showing this form of communication between us.

The last three months have been especially challenging for me because both of my shoulders started to become frozen, thankfully at separate times. My shoulders started hurting consistently in 2024, but I didn’t know how damaged they were because I have dealt with pain throughout my life, usually without pain medicine because I am chemically sensitive (very low doses if needed). On October 1^st, I repeatedly lifted my right shoulder to help workers at my home, and I couldn’t move my shoulder at all the next day. The pain was excruciating. I could only use my left arm for about 10 days. Once I had enough relief, I started writing my most recent article that I didn’t really want to write, but I felt it was necessary as a type of final statement. After writing a lot over consecutive days, my left shoulder became frozen for about two months. My right shoulder was usable but still painful, so I had to be super careful because I felt it could freeze again. These unexpected events brought me to be approved for MRI scans that showed the same issues in both shoulders. I am in the process of working with specialists for potential medical procedures that hopefully won’t be necessary beyond a steroid injection. At any rate, I need to be careful in all activities and continue to consume natural, anti-inflammatory supplements and foods that help me in some capacity.

I found out that my left shoulder blade was almost fully dislocated; the problem extended beyond just that shoulder. I thought it could resolve itself like my right shoulder did, but every new day, the pain increased. It was unbearable. I was scared. My mind went to places that I didn’t want. I didn’t forget all that I deeply know, but I also was faced with a reality that I could not control in any way in myself. I already am well aware of what is outside of my control, but at least I could manage a lot in my body, even when I still felt pain. In this case, I am happy and grateful that I have a competent, caring chiropractor who accurately assessed the problems and fixed my shoulder blade (OUCH), which started the process of unfreezing my shoulder.

During much of the past three months, my mother had to help me with necessary tasks. I also couldn’t help her set up her new, potential business. Finally, we are now starting to think about our next steps.

I am sharing all of this with you because I want to add to the discussion about reality versus belief. That has been the foundation of my work, but there is always more to uncover. I don’t want people to feel like we have to hide because we aren’t “perfect,” when our very reality—especially our body—isn’t perfect. We are Human. I desire to keep discovering ways to bridge from our deepest core essence to the fragmented areas of our body. The Earth also wants to bring back into alignment as much of its body as possible with its core essence and eternal-based nature. When truly aware, we can have a similar, parallel walk with the Earth, naturally supporting one another. Even when a full healing can’t happen (and yes, I am using the word “can’t” because in many cases it is realistic), then there can be partial healings that can keep us going—and sometimes make us stronger than before in important ways.

To anyone who will point fingers away from oneself and toward people who suffer beyond their will and actions, I ask that you honestly look for any blind spot you have in yourself before being quick to judge and dismiss others. We can all benefit from having more insight and healthful actions, but we can only do so much with our distinctly individual genetics.

May we have the deep, personal awareness to do what we know is aligned with our body’s pure-intended consciousness. Our body has its own consciousness that is not the same as our foundational consciousness, but they both comprise one’s conscious being on Earth. I will do what I can to explore these profound aspects to deepen my awareness about natural self-integration and ascension, and I expect to share key insights with those of you who already resonate.

 
With care, hope, and gratitude,
