It is listed under spirituality. But I have a loose definition of spirituality--it is whatever inspires us to heal through our fear and reach for our dreams. I've had singers, actors, authors and psychic as well as many others. For those who have books in print already, I am always looking for guest. If you're interested, email me at Tirgana at yahoo.com<br /><br />What I'm asking from the universe is the connection to an experienced executive producer to partner with me on my military series, Operation Home Base.<br /><br />To see what I do and have done please visit my site at www.theresachaze.com<br />Thanks and remember to take care of yourself first. If you let your own well go dry, you can't help others.<br />TheresaTheresa Chazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700832583917523217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-33016126586178806372010-05-18T16:07:19.822-05:002010-05-18T16:07:19.822-05:00You're not selfish, Tami!

My daughter is telling me she wants to hurt herself, I'm passing out and they don't know why, and I have a one day EEG tomorrow and a 5 day EEG where I stay in the hospital 5 hours away, leaving my fiance to deal with 3 kids alone.<br /><br />I would love tons of prayer, and the selfish part of me wants some tissues and chocolate so I can drown my sorrow! :)<br /><br />Really, the tons of prayers would do the most for me right now!Tami Winbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16582827296870344522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-79501020405054174222010-05-18T13:02:44.094-05:002010-05-18T13:02:44.094-05:00Going right to the auction next - great post today...Going right to the auction next - great post today about it Kerri and Brenda! Wishing the cause far exceeds their hope with funds this year!<br /><br />I do agree with the others - time for you is important - BUT I also know why you made this offer. Sometimes when we're feeling blue the best thing we can do to get ourselves out of it is to turn outside ourselves.<br /><br />The time off is great, but if we're lost in our own thoughts and not present for the moment, then the sheer happiness and pleasure in that moment can be lost on us.<br /><br />I don't have a need right now, but I have a want. I'd be honored if you'd send me whichever ever book you've written that you think will appeal to me and my love of paranormal. I'd love to read one!<br /><br />And don't let the turkeys in life get you down. They just aren't worth it.<br /><br />Cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534284446634705363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-88142234852657634032010-05-18T12:37:20.356-05:002010-05-18T12:37:20.356-05:00I agree with the others, Kerri, please give yourse...I agree with the others, Kerri, please give yourself a hug and go play. It's always good to get away and do something that makes you feel good. I got my warm fuzzy yesterday when my cancer doctor cut me loose, said he didn't want to ever see me again!! It's been five years since I had uterine cancer surgery so this was a high spot in my life. :)<br /><br />As far as Brenda's silent auction -it is the greatest way of putting back and helping such a dear friend. This is my fourth year of entering a homemade baby quilt and I love doing it. So many wonderful entries again this.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-72338021458752970622010-05-18T12:12:29.459-05:002010-05-18T12:12:29.459-05:00Have you seen some of the news about the artifical...Have you seen some of the news about the artifical pancreas. I just read an article that made it sound so close. I'd love a cure, but if they could perfect the artifical in the meantime, that would mean our kids would've have to prick their fingers so many times a day. It would keep them "in the zone" 87% of the time, too. That sounds like heaven to me!Brenda Novakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074126134924458160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-62385715529292572812010-05-18T12:11:04.931-05:002010-05-18T12:11:04.931-05:00Hi Kerri--

(Doing all I can to make sure we get the word out there).<br /><br />What you're doing is SO sweet! You can count supporting my auction as one of your five things because you donate every year, you shop, you promote. You're amazing. And I believe it really will make a difference to our kids.Brenda Novakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074126134924458160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-81546286204707775382010-05-18T11:15:13.544-05:002010-05-18T11:15:13.544-05:00Kerri,

I don't normally ask for things but I am desperate to have someone read one of my stories and give me a general opinion. I'm not asking for a line by line, just "I couldn't put it down" or "hmm, needs work". Let me know where to send it if you choose me.<br /> Now to pay it forward. I am a reiki master. I will send love and light you and five others in need. Email me at brannansfantasies@gmail.com<br />Take care all.<br />RB BrannanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899827707972358332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-67726292352024508082010-05-18T11:05:28.066-05:002010-05-18T11:05:28.066-05:00Like the others, I agree that you need time for yo...Like the others, I agree that you need time for yourself.
