Okay, looking good, Billy Ray, feeling good, Lewis. We're going to take a look here at the DAX. As you can see, we have a potential double top up here in the DAX. You can see the smaller ABCD pattern inside of that, whether that's going to stop or not, but it certainly hasn't. It's a four-hour chart, so that's a considerable data that's gone through to complete that. We're going to take a look, of course, at the footsie like we always do. Let's get it up here and you'll see we've done the same thing, but it's not a double top in the footsie. Of course, it's a three-drive to a top pattern over the four-hour chart with a big ABCD up here. It hasn't quite made the double top, but you can see we're in that area where the ABCD has completed. So we'll take a look at that. We've got one commodity, folks. It should be on everybody's... Everybody's, what do you call it, guideline or whatever, to cross hairs, but the gold. First, before I get to the gold, I want to do the treasury bonds. Radar, that's the word. Dave, I want to tell you how impressed I am with your level of knowledge. I listened to your segment with Tommy O'Brien about Albert Einstein. Oh, my gosh. I mean, I don't know how you have time to read all of that and not only that, but understand it is what really is... It just truly amazed me. I'm very impressed. You should be very proud of your level of knowledge. Okay, let's move on here to take a look at the footsie we've already looked at. We want to take a look at the Nikkei, because we're seeing a bearish pattern here in the Nikkei, much very similar to what we're seeing in the Hang Seng. So we'll see you right at that 61% retracement at this 22,500. We're very, very close to it. That's only a few hundred points away. So keep an eye on this Nikkei. It's going to be very interesting. It's a beautiful ABCD down, a really nice double ABCD up with a butterfly pattern. So I don't know if you trade the Nikkei or not. I don't, but it'll probably be affected by the Japanese yen and we'll watch the yen dollar, of course, to see what it does. So that's the one. Over here, well, we should do the Hang Seng too, because that's doing the same type of thing that we're doing with these others. We'll just take a quick look at this. The reason why I do this Hang Seng every week is because we have so many, so many students and friends over in the Hong Kong area in China, and you can see we're right up to this 30,000, 31,000 level in that Hang Seng. So that's going to be an interesting one to see if it holds this level. We have a nice butterfly, three-drive pattern. It's not a butterfly. It's a three-drive pattern into that high, and we'll see whether that holds it or not, but we're over some considerable time here. Now, I'm going to do a two-hour show today because I'm going to help Tommy O'Brien do his segment with Tom Sr., who's out of the office. So I'll be doing that today, and then I'll be doing the three-to-five segment for Tom O'Brien tomorrow and also on Wednesday I'll be doing two hours in the afternoon from three to five. I don't know what I'm going to be doing yet, but I'm going to have some special guests, hopefully one really special guest, and I've almost gotten him talked into it, so we'll see if he's going to do it, and I believe he'll be as interesting as Super Dave is because he's a really smart guy. We'll talk about cryptocurrencies and some of the stuff that's going on and the Brexit and stuff like that. I talked to the president. He calls me every day to ask me what to tweet, but today I was real busy, anyway.  I have a two-handicap in golf, driving and putting, but yes, it would be John Jamesen if I can get him Marshall. I've almost gotten him lined up, but not quite, but to watch Tiger play yesterday and come back is not so much that he won as the way that he came back through the adversity.  There's a perfect example of it, but the guy is a terrific athlete and he's one heck of a golfer, that's for sure. It's very exciting, though, to watch how I just don't understand the game that well, so I don't know too much about it. Okay, let's move on here and take, before we get to the one I want to talk about the most, which is, of course, the gold, I want to talk about the bonds first. Here is the German Bund weekly chart. We talked about this a few weeks ago when this was making this pattern where we had the beautiful guardly pattern, where the ABCD measured, it went to tad above the 78% level. Now we're heading down. Looks like we're going to complete the guardly pattern down here about the 162 level. We're seeing the same thing in our Treasury bonds. They're under pressure. They had that area of 150. That was so very, very important. That was a 61% retracement on the weekly chart and that tells you where it wants to go, folks. It wants to go lower now. Remember, it took from October all the way to April to make that 61% retracement. That's a significant rally in a bear market, and it was at the exact 61% retracement from the high in August. Now we had that ABCD, the head and shoulders pattern that we can see there, but now you see we're backing off too much. That means that that head and shoulders pattern is not going to be what we thought it was because we're already almost at the 61% retracement of the low from the 144-28 level. That's telling you that this wants to go lower. That first little rally, remember this is a daily chart, and if you look at it very closely, you'll notice that after we made the top at that 150, 20, we came down for about six or seven days, and then we rallied for four days, and we could only rally three-quarters of a point. We couldn't even make a 382 rally, folks, and then look where we are now. We're trading below 147 again. That's not a very bullish pattern. That means we're going lower. Whether we get a 382 retracement or not remains to be seen, but that's what it looks like with these Treasury bonds. These Treasury bonds, Treasury nodes, looks like interest rates are going lower. I know that the whole world is talking about negative interest rates, and that might happen here. I don't know, but my goodness, if negative interest rates happen, that means the bonds are probably going to have to go to 200.  I just don't understand how people can even contemplate negative interest rates. I don't know where academia comes up with that, but they came up with quantitative easing, too, so they don't ask me about these things. But to pay someone to hold your money, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I know banks do it, but, oh, well, I better get off the soapbox and not worry too much about it. We've got a break coming up here. When we get back to the break, we're going to take a look at the gold market very, very extensively, and we'll see if we can come up with something that looks interesting in gold, because it has a little bit of a negative connotation on the charts here, because we're breaking down again tomorrow after the big break on Friday, so it's important to watch the gold as it starts to move down. So we'll be right back.<PHONE_NUMBER>. The TAS Profile Scanner is the most revolutionary piece of trading software that you will ever try. Wouldn't you like to approach the markets with confidence?

Internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Okay, folks, let's take a look at the gold market. We're going to go back to last December. Remember, gold bottom a couple years ago, December of 2016, when it was down at $1030. We had a pretty good rally there, a couple hundred bucks, and we backed off to $1170. You can see that right there in August. But this is what we've got coming up now is very, very unusual because you can see the head and shoulders pattern that we have here. Now, that really is a perfect definition of a head and shoulders pattern. You have the left shoulder, and then you have the head and then you have the right shoulder. The right shoulder should be higher than the left shoulder if it's bullish. And if our forecast is correct, and we're not sure that it is yet for sure, but it looks like we could be heading down to the area of around 1260 to 1255 is what we're looking for. Folks, we're only $30 away. You know, it's not very far. You could be there in a few minutes, actually. I think it's going to take longer than that. One of the things that... This was...Edwards and McGee did some work on the head and shoulders pattern along with other people. But if you look at the distance between the left shoulder and the head and the head and the right shoulder, it comes out to be equal. That date comes in on the 22nd of April, folks. That's a week from today. So there is a possibility that we could be down one more week. We've now taken out the lows of April. We did that just a little bit a while ago, but we are... We can easily get a $11 to $17 rally in gold at any time. And so you have to be prepared if you're looking for something bigger. You've got to set through that because you don't know if it's a fake out or not. But between $11 and $17 rally in gold happens all the time. We know that the harmonic number in gold is 34. We saw that on the way down because it stopped right at 1282. And the other thing that we know is that when it rallies half way back, half the harmonic number, that's 17, and 61% of 17 is 11, so all of that sort of fits together. But if you look at this really closely and those of you that get the newsletter, we went into this extensively. You'll notice that the ABCD pattern measures down to around 1257. That's the 50% retracement. That is also going to be the 61% retracement of the low that we made in November, which was also a 61% retracement off of the low that we made on August the 14th was right near that eclipse. So these are all lining up really nicely, and it's going to be interesting as we come in here next Monday because we have a holiday on Friday, a holy day, I shouldn't call it a holiday. It's a holy day on Friday being Good Friday. And so we'll have a really interesting time to look at this on the 22nd. And we have very, very little astrological things happening too much, but we have a really good sun conjunct mercury, which might be something very important because that was known as combust to, I believe that's mercury. My eyes are so bad, I can't see it. Nope, it's Neptune. Sun conjunct Neptune, which would be related to Crude or not to gold. But anyway, the 22nd is where the measurement comes in. It could happen anytime. It could not happen at all. All I know is that this is a perfect setup for buying gold. And I've been bullish gold for a very long time and I'm looking to buy it again. I bought it back there at the 1178 level and I bought it again at 1200. And I got out of it way too soon, but it still was a good trade. I'm still looking for this buy to come down in here. We're still short. We're thinking we could still get to this level and if we do, we will reverse and go short. Now anytime that, let's play the devil's advocate here because the devil's out here trading too. But you'll notice we had the high that happened here in late February. Then we had the 61% retracement that was perfect at 1324. Then we came down, rallied up again to a perfect 78% level of 1314. Now we're trading around 1287. And I think we could easily get down there to this level that we're looking for. But if by any chance that we get above 1320, in other words, something happens that makes the gold explode to the upside, that means that this pattern is not in vogue anymore and something is seriously wrong. But if it does get down to that level, I would suggest you look at it really, really closely because this is going to be one of the more, one of the clearest ABCD patterns that you can get. Notice the time, go back last year from when we made the little butterfly pattern up at the top there at the 78% level on the long-term weekly chart at 1368. You'll notice that on the way down there was only one really clear ABCD pattern and it only had a rally of about four or five days which is almost nothing. It was pretty much a straight down move whereas this one has several swings inside of it. Not only that, but you've got a head and shoulders there which is one of the more popular technical patterns. This is one of the key patterns that Dr. Andrew Lowe analyzed in his book, Non-Random Walk Down Wall Street. This is going to be interesting. Now, whether it happens or not, I don't know. This is the same pattern that we've seen in the Treasury Bonds that I posted just a little while ago when bonds were down there making that 382 retracement with the ABCD pattern. That would be the same type of a pattern in the bonds. They rallied more than five points off that spot. So it's not something that you don't want to pay too much attention to because it's very, very important.  Hold on here. Bruby is saying Larry, can the dollar going down or going down? Yeah, I don't know anything. I don't look at those things that way, Bruby. I look at the darn chart. The less I try to figure in what the heck is happening, I'm better off, Bruby. All I know is if I look at the price of gold, there's more buyers or sellers. That's all I'm looking at. If I start trying to figure in, oh, what's the relationship to the dollar? What's the relationship to the end? You know, that's beyond this old Italian's pay grade. So I stay away from that. I look at that chart. That's what's going to tell me what it's looking at and that's what I try to do. I've got a lot of smart people out there that send me stuff that is really, really interesting but I can't let it affect what I'm looking at because I just look at the chart and it says, okay, if I do it here, this is what I know I'm going to risk. All that other stuff is like cobwebs for me, Bruby. I'm telling you like it is, dear. I'd like to say yes, I'm like Super Dave and read about all that stuff and learn the fundamentals and stuff but I frankly have not done that in years. I look at them one at a time and if I can see something in that, that's what I'm looking at. I keep it as simple as possible. I'm just not, you know, especially, you know, I'm going to be in my eighth decade here pretty soon and I, you know, I really just don't have the energy to do all that stuff and it's easier for me to do it this way so that's what I'm looking at. So let's take a look here at the silver. I hope that helps, Bruby but that's the truth. I could give you a lot of, you know, BS which I do a lot of the time anyway but I could say, you know, yeah, I do all this stuff but I don't, I just look at those patterns. Here's a perfect example. You're seeing silver here. We have a different pattern in silver. This says it's going to, you know, bottom down around the 25th of April and that would be down at the 440 announced levels. See, all of these are getting close, you know, to these levels so it's already telling you that it wants to go there. So the, but at any time you can get 11 to $17 rally. You know, that's $1700. You don't want to set with a, you know, unless you sold it really good and then you say, okay, I have to, I have to make my game plan is I want to be able to see if I can get out of the short position at around 1260. That's what my game plan is. Whether I do that or not, you know, I don't know. Right now it's got a nice profit in it but if I have to give some of it back to make that, I've got to make that decision and that's what I'm doing. I hope that helps.<PHONE_NUMBER>.

It might help answer Ruby's question about the looking at gold and the dollar, because I will look at the metals themselves, but I won't interchange the intermarket analysis with the U.S. dollar and the euro and all that stuff. That's just, I just can't do it. But let's take a look at this platinum. You notice we had that big ABCD pattern that completed up there at that 915 announced the high was 920. We're now backing off. We're almost, if you'll notice the old highs that we had there were at 882. You see how they line up the high we made in November, the high we made in February, and then that would also bring in right around that 880 level. It's very, very interesting. That's, you know, that's coming down to that point. So what I do is I, and I'm not trading platinum right now, I'm just looking at it. What I do is I'll go in and I'll go over the last five or six days to see if I can get an area that'll tell me that we're going to get down to that area near the 20, excuse me, the 9, excuse me, the 880, 3, 880 level. And you can see we've been to 883 already this morning. We're trading around 885. That is a butterfly pattern that we're seeing now over the past, you know, five trading days. But it's setting at a really interesting spot here, technically. Now, if we go below the excuse me, the 870 level, that's quite a ways it's $15 from here. That means it's, you know, going to break down some more. Now, if I'm looking at gold to go down another $25, most probably platinum's not going to go up during that time. It can, but that's what I'm saying. And then it also silver would be dropping another 40 cents down to the 1440 level. But at those levels, look at all the things you have going on at those levels in silver and gold. There's where you want to make your stand. I mean, you've got so much stuff that technically, if you like technical stuff like pattern recognition, you've got everything lined up at that point. I mean, the gold and silver should be on your watch list. It's certainly on mine. And I, you know, basically I'm still short to gold and I think that we got a chance to get some lower levels, but at any time we can get $11 to $17 rally that'll scare the Bajibis out if you're short. We've seen these already. We've set through those. We did, we did cover and then put it back out again on one of them, but you know, you don't always get that chance. So that's one of the things that we're keeping an eye on. This is, you could make a textbook on this gold chart, folks. Yeah, silver too, but gold even more so because it's all the pattern recognition things that you look at. You've got time and price.  So I think it's going to be real interesting if we get to that level. We're trading it. See, we're only 30, less than 30 bucks away, which isn't very much. So especially when things get little hairy, like they do in some of these markets, you can easily get to those levels without too much trouble. So we're watching it closely, but it's up to you to do it yourself. You're the one that has to take the responsibility for these trades, folks. We can give you some ideas, but you're the one that has to put in the order and take the responsibility, you know, for doing it. That's the real key. I think it's something that's very, very important. The other thing that I want to mention since we're talking a little bit about trading and Tiger Woods, you know, the thing that you've got to give Tiger credit for is he never gave up. He didn't need the money. He certainly set for the rest of his life being worth a few billion dollars or more, but he didn't give up. He knew he could come back.  You know, he made some bad mistakes along the way, but you know, he's done a lot for golf and a lot for a whole lot of other people. And so I respect him for coming back. That was the main thing that I was really excited about. Because he did as much for golf as Larry Bird and Magic Johnson did for basketball. So that's quite a bit. So they deserve all those accolades and believe me, I'm certainly not a golf fan at all. It equals bowling. I don't know why they don't have professional bowling on too.   Here's, let's take a look at the bit. We're going to be coming down, want to pay real close attention to Bitcoin now, folks, because we're going to have a chance. We don't we don't trade it, but we look at it. We made the guardly down there. You can see that very, very clearly at point D at 3400, we rallied 2000 points to 5400 and now we're backing off. You want to see the 3A2 that'll come in if it does around the 4700 mark. So watch, watch Bitcoin because if we hit 4700 and take off from there, then you've got something that could be you know, very, very important. I really hope that I'm able to get John Jamison on in the afternoon, either tomorrow or or today, tomorrow or Tuesday to try Tuesday is tomorrow, either Tuesday or Wednesday and have him discuss the situation that he sees in Bitcoin because in crypto currencies and blockchains, he really knows his stuff. He was one of the first people involved in the Internet and he really is well well schooled in this and I'm really close. I'm really close to getting him on. I think it would be really great to hear what he says about that and it would be able. Yes, I remember one of my friends who's a really good golfer said Tiger would never win another championship and I I didn't believe that, but he said his back was so bad that he would never recover, but evidently he's recovered so that's good. Okay, we talked about the Bitcoin. Let's move on to the US dollar since we're still hovering these real critical level folks. Let's do the dollar index first and then we will do the Euro to match it out a little bit here. We'll see here what we've got is the US dollar. You see we had the double top up there. That's at that 97 70 level then we had a really sharp sell off that stopped right at the 78% level on March the 19th spot on right at a 78% level. What did we do? We rally right up to exact 78% level down to a 38% level where we were on Friday. This is still a very bullish chart now realize that in the last nine days all we've been able to do folks is to make a 382 retracement that is a bullish sign that is a very bullish sign so at any moment I think we can see a really strong move in the dollar IE up and the Euro IE down but that's a really important chart there in the US dollar index Friday's low was an exact 382 off of the low we made back on the what was it May 9th March 19th and anytime we clear it up to 97.20 it should have a lot of legs on it and if we get above 97.80 or 98 this thing can really go so that means that the Euro would be heading towards the old drain let's just take a look at the Euro because it's just sitting here here you can see the exact opposite of the Euro this is the Euro you look at it here I don't know if you think this is interesting or not folks but it's interesting to me the Euro made its low on April 1st okay and it's rally 10 days we've got as high as 113.30 and we need this to you know hasn't really gone anywhere there's a couple of small APC D's in there if you look at it on the you know 15 minute chart but that's a really really quiet rally off of any bottom as you can see the bottom from March 4th was really strong the bottom from March from February 15th was very strong this is done very little so it's looking weak to me I don't know if that means anything or not but it just looks weak technically<PHONE_NUMBER> if you are in the CD market and looking for a secure investment the Tiger 1st Mortgage Program may work for you the security for these first mortgages are

take a quick look at the overall commodity markets here this is from Bloomberg this is a monthly chart going back many many years well over let me see but seven or eight years right there you'll notice that we have a situation now where we're completing a really nice garden in fact we've already completed a few months ago in the commodity so that could be a really interesting spot you'll notice that's the on the lower two triangles that you see down there that Gartley pattern the first one on the left was a butterfly that occurred back in 2013 2015 but if you notice the I think that's 2015 I can't read the dates are too small anyway this is a monthly chart so it's got to go back a couple years anyway we made it Gartley there we've had a pretty good rally so it could be we're in the real bottoming process now remember we had these really good crops over the you know the past few years since 2016 so we're due for something 2015 so we're due for a pretty good crop shakeup here is my guess or some type of stimulated demand whether it comes from China or not I don't know I don't believe anything that comes out of the government anymore but if you look at this chart you can certainly see that it's been in a long basing action for a very very long time and it's got legs if it gets out of here that's for sure okay let's take a look at the sweet for the sweetest little ruby over here we'll get up the old if we can find the futures there we are and we'll get the sugar coming in right here and you'll see here in sugar we're making a nice bottom we've got a good place it's up a little bit today it's trading up near that 1295 level we completed a little garly down there at the 1230 that tells us that we want to get up we need sugar to get above that 1350 area ruby because that would be the last month's highs from January February that would tell you that you've got a really large ABCD forming that will take it close to $15 so that's something that you want to be able to want to be able to do that's I think it's very important that that we do that so if we can get above that that's okay now Coco we should look at that because when they make hot chocolate they always throw in a little Coco along with the sugar and you see Coco here is in an area where it should have a pretty good correction here you'll notice we've had that really nice bottoming we had the 135 pattern and we came down and we tested that 2140 I bracketed that in red brackets because it had a double bottom there and it must hold that 2140 level and that was the low it didn't get any lower than that and then it's had this huge move we went from 2140 all the way up to 2450 and now we're chopping around here for a few days what we need now is a 382 pull back in Cocoa to come down to about 2325 and then start back up again and then you've got a really nice picture to the upside now I don't trade Cocoa at all I did my first coffee trade couple weeks ago and ended up making one penny after being up five cents and I'm trying to get back in it today but so far it's up a little bit too much so I've got to wait a little bit but if you'll notice the pattern that we had at the 78% level we had that three drive pattern there and the easy one was the 135 pattern when we had that either three was a great buy because it was a pullback and number five was a great buy it was a pullback and they were equal in time folks if you look at the time that it took to get to point three from the high and point five from the high those were equal in time that's what we mean by symmetry because when you line up that time with the price that's perfect geometry and that's what that's what this thing is all about and it's not just cocoa it's other things too that we're looking at I'm seeing and I don't know if I'm you know not seeing it clearly or not but I'm seeing some really interesting bottoming patterns in some of these things that people are very bearish on corn being one if we take a look here at the corn market you'll just take a look at you'll be able to see it here you know we went down we didn't quite take out the lows for the year with and then you notice it's held again I mean if we can clear above you know 392 that's only 3 cents and we're closed on Friday you know you've got a chance to you know really make it you know something really spectacular but son of a gun you know we don't know if that's the if that's going to happen or not but no one else does either you know so we're watching it we're watching the news you know I talked to Rich Anderson every single day following the weather patterns and they pay a lot of money for these weather patterns and as soon as we see the slightest indication that El Nino might raise its head we're going to be heavily long these grains because they're making some type of a bottom the news has been very bearish I mean they're throwing more and more corn at us and beans and wheat and everything look at the wheat market what they did to the wheat for having sakes you know that was hold on a second I want to show you that Minneapolis wheat because even though I don't trade Minneapolis we wanted to bring it to your attention because we were right at that 1.618 level last week at that 522 and we had a nice 18 cent rally just off of that number it's still still holding above there so that could be a significant bottom in the Minneapolis wheat John Jameson asked me a question on Saturday he said if God said you can only trade one number what number would you trade and my answer to that was the 1.618 number and the reason for that is when you're looking at that chamber and watching that thing go around and around following those Fibonacci spirals the end of that spiral comes in at 1.618 and if you go beyond 1.618 from my perspective it's going to some number that's a whole lot bigger than 1.618 so if it doesn't stop exactly at 1.618 you're probably in trouble and that was my answer I couldn't use an ABCD I couldn't use a Gardley I couldn't use a 3 drive I only had to use one number and so that's what I did and then we went and looked at several of these trades that we were looking at and 8 out of 10 of them worked 1.618 is a key level folks that's the if you ever read a book called what was the name of the book by Greta Wood you where she talks to an extra terrestrial lady from Connecticut a psychic and she said how do I get in touch with you she said the AT said use the intergalactic phone number 1.618 on a slide of light that was the name of the book by Greta Wood she was a psychic and Connecticut I don't know if she's still there but her name was Greta Wood she evidently channeled an extra terrestrial I don't believe any of that stuff but I do believe in 1.618 that one thing I do believe in that is absolutely for sure now someone's asked me the question here how confident do I feel of the gold getting down to that level I don't know how confident I feel to get to that level but all I know is it's heading down there it could change at any time reverse I don't know but nobody else does either I'm just watching the price action somebody's selling gold more than they're buying it they can tell you whatever China's doing or whatever Ukraine is doing or Latimer Putin it doesn't make any difference but there's the prices are going lower I will almost bet when they get down to 1260 to 1256 if they get there they're not going to be too many people bullish that's my guess because there were a whole lot of people bullish in 1350 they're not too many people bullish now and that's the way they write the rules right boys and girls<PHONE_NUMBER> I'm certain you are or strive to be one of the best of the best at everything

bit more about the gold market I don't know if that top is going to be or that bottom is going to be made down there or not all I'm looking at is what might happen I don't know what the future is nobody else does either so pay close attention to that because it's just probability that's all it is keep a very very close eye on it that's for sure we've got the Euro trading at this 1.1303 level we've only been able to rally a little more than 150 pips in 10 days that's a very very small rally and like we said any move below that Europe would send the US dollar index soaring and the Euro heading a whole lot lower so sort of keep that in mind as you're watching these things unfold I believe we've made a major top in crude oil we've seen it in the crude oil we've also seen it in the gasoline futures went up to the 78% level the crude oil went to the 61% level at 64-60 so that's going to be really really interesting what happens to it as we come into these these key times there's a lot of action coming in April for sure so keep a close eye on it watch this crude oil folks this could easily have $5 to the downside which is $5,000 so you've got to try to find a good place find a nice little ABCD on the 30 minute chart hopefully at a 61% level and that's about it well stay tuned I'll be back in about another 5 minutes or so 10 minutes to work with Tommy Jr. on some of the other things that are happening in the market and we'll get with you in another hour so live everyday in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless thanks for joining me and we'll see you and if you stay with us we'll see you in another 10 minutes or so otherwise we'll catch you soon


A Brainerd History Week starts tomorrow and runs for four days through Sunday. This year's events focus on showcasing the Mississippi River and West Brainerd and tours and activities are being offered for the whole family. Events will be taking place all across Brainerd with the week kicking off tomorrow at the Northern Pacific Center, the renovated historic railroad building complex in Eastern Brainerd. Tours of the buildings will be offered every half hour with food trucks on site. We've got a couple of tour guides here running through the the buildings every half hour. All of the events in regards to Brainerd History Week are free for the public with the exception of one thing which is the community bike ride that's being held on Saturday. We're just really excited to be showing off our beautiful history of the Brainerd Lakes area and we're expecting large crowds this year. Throughout the week there will be free history walks being offered downtown at Evergreen Cemetery in Lum Park and by the Mississippi River. Central Lakes College will also celebrate their 80th anniversary as part of history week with the celebration taking place on Friday. We really enjoy having kids participate in these in these tours that we have going on. Kids have a way of asking really great questions and it certainly makes the adults think differently about how things were or differently in that what could we do to improve things going forward so bring the family bring everybody and bring your neighbors bring your friends and enjoy the week. For more information on Brainerd History Week and to see a schedule of events you can visit the story on our website at lptv.org.

Today we're here to talk about the child tax credit, and I want to thank CVOEO and Paul Dragon for allowing us to be here, but this is one of the most significant pro-family anti-poverty programs since the Roosevelt administration. The child tax credit has traditionally had significant support from Republicans and Democrats. In the American Rescue Plan we increased the child tax credit from to $3,600 for families with children who are five and under, and it's fully refundable. Now here's what that means. About 120,000 children are going to benefit by that in Vermont. It's going to take about 3,900 children out of poverty. It's going to reduce childhood poverty in this country in half. And what it reflects is a commitment to the early development of children and the recognition that families with children have real financial challenges. Any family a two-person head of household family or two-person family with an income of $150,000 or less will be eligible.  And some of us want to raise that to a hundred thousand. One of the biggest challenges that families face with young children is affordability. One of the one of the second points I want to make about this that is so essential at this time of such conflict in disunity in our country is that this applies to all kids and all families who are eligible. It doesn't matter whether you're in a red state or a blue state.  This is about the kids. And when we have healthy kids who have a shot to get started earlier in life, we have healthier communities, we have more confident parents, and we can begin the process of rebuilding. So this child tax credit where families are going to receive literally $300 a week or pardon me a month for children five and under and $250 a month for children six to 17 is an extremely important benefit that will be lifting children out of poverty, helping kids who are near poverty get into some economic security. It also as I mentioned has that enormous benefit of treating every family the same independent of politics independent of where what region they're from. And I believe that what Congress has to do is have programs that have this broad benefit so that all families can be help get strengthened. The second point we want to make here and this is absolutely critical to Vermont parents. You've got to file taxes in order or you've got to file your tax form in order to get your check. There are many, many people who don't have to file because they don't owe any money. So this is going to be new for some folks who because of their income actually don't have to file. But in order to get the IRS to send you the check your family is entitled to under the child tax credit, the IRS has to have your information that they get from your tax filing form. So Vermonters if you have kids and you want to get this child tax credit and it's going to be helpful to you. So please, please, please do this. File your taxes and the due date is May 17. And if you are filed then the IRS plans on starting to send out checks by July. So please this American Rescue Package, this child tax credit is for you. It's fully refundable. But in order to get that refund, you have to file a tax form. So those are the two major points I want to make. Number one, the child tax credit is going to be significant income support for our families with kids. The vast majority, 90% of children in the state of Vermont, 90% of children in the state of Vermont are going to be benefited by this program. But second, to benefit by the program, file your tax form. And we're going to hear from folks at CVOEO some of the work that they've been doing about this. So thank you. Joining me today are first of all Paul Dragon, who runs CVOEO. And he's going to be followed by Trisha Coates, who as you all know is a great American. She used to be my state director when I first got elected for eight years. Trisha got us started here in Vermont and I continue to be indebted to you. And I hope I'm doing okay. And then we have Trudy Namu Biro, who works at CVOEO and is a new American and has been very, very helpful for folks getting situated here. Thank you. So Paul, thank you. Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for coming. First of all, I just want to thank Congressman Welch and his team for this important work and this groundbreaking legislation that is going to lift millions of families struggling with poverty out of poverty. So thank you so much for your work. Child poverty in the United States, it is a unique American tragedy. It is unique because of all the wealthy nations. The United States has one of the highest rates of poverty. It's a tragedy because it can be avoided. And this is the first step to reducing childhood poverty, as the congressman said, in generations. So the child tax credit promises to reduce child poverty by up to 45%. So this is groundbreaking legislation and not only will it help end childhood poverty, it is going to promote social mobility, which is critically, critically important. It is going to help mitigate intergenerational poverty for generations to come. So CVOEO's work is as an anti-poverty organization is trying to not only bridge gaps, get people get people the things they need so they're no longer living in poverty, but it is also to build futures. And this legislation does both those things. It puts food on the table, it gives people essential supports, and it looks at really bringing families out of poverty for the long term. So this is a one-year legislation right now. CVOEO will be joining its partner organizations to make sure that this is an important feature, a normal feature, of American life for years and years to come. And we can't thank the congressman and his team enough for driving this legislation forward. It's groundbreaking. It is similar to the New Deal. It's absolutely critical for our families who are struggling. Thanks, Paul. Sure, thank you. Thank you, Congressman Welch, for your leadership. Thanks, Paul, for your your words. If there's anything I ever did for Congressman Welch, it was that I bought this mic stand in 2007. So you're welcome. My name is Trisha Coats. I'm the president of Lund. We serve Vermont families in treatment, adoption and family services, and we touch 5000 Vermonters annually. In short, our work is strengthening Vermont families. And the majority of the families we serve, struggling with the cost of living is is really not a new COVID challenge. Making choices between food and medicine, doctor's appointment or keeping a car on the road. These are the heartbreaking choices that families, parents and caregivers make every day. And but what we have seen in our families through the pandemic is an added layer of anxiety around these challenges around these choices. When a caregiver's hours are reduced, when there's been a layoff, when somebody's been sick, or when the children need to be cared for full time at home. So the increase in the child tax credit comes at this very moment. And what it's going to do is make a difference for over 100,000 Vermont children and their families. The fact that this credit can come as soon as July in a monthly payment immediately provides breathing room for families that they have not had. What does it mean for the families that Lund serves? A parent who has worked hard to maintain their recovery and custody of their child who has successfully discharged from treatment can continue to pay the rent and remain independent. Many of the 206 families who have adopted a foster child through Lund since last summer may be able to pay for a week of camp or afford the internet. A family in our childcare may be able to make a car repair that will help them continue to get to work. In short, the child tax credit gives family families a reason to worry a little bit less. On behalf of our families, I want to thank Congressman Welch and our senators for their advocacy for families and for their support of this lifeline. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Trisha. Sure. And now Trudy Namoviro. Trudy, thank you.  I've been working with CVE for for about six, seven months. I started in August last year and it's been the best place to work at so far. I'm going to the subject of tax credit. I am a middle middle class income earner. And as I speak right now, I don't qualify for most of the financial subsidies because I'm above the threshold and yet I have a child to take care of much as I am the seller that is good enough for me. If I was single, if I was alone, but it's not enough to take care of the child because we need transport and the housing, housing expenses are increasing because as of last year, two bedroomed house was $1,544 US dollars. And now it has increased to $1,620. So if this child credit subsidy comes in, it would help us with accommodation. It would help us with expenses of transport. It would help us with food and clothing, you know, how kids grow almost every day. So it would really help us a lot. And as far as I'm concerned right now, I'm not saving a lot because everything goes to the expenses. But if this child credit tax credit comes through, it would help us with with trying to save for the future of our children, maybe send them to college someday, or even buy a house. So I'm really, really, really grateful to the congressman for doing this for us, especially the middle class income earners. Thank you. God bless the USA and God bless the state great state of the world. Thank you, Trudy. Trudy's child is five years right now.  Any any questions for any of us? It's four years. And many of us hope to make it permanent. The annual we're gonna I'll get back to you on that Stuart. I don't know exactly what it is. It's it's part of this program right now is part of the American Rescue package. But we believe that this should be an anchor in family support going forward. There is there's a lot of support for us to do this. You know, keep in mind that it's a struggle for families. I mean, Trudy just mentioned she's got a good job. But the rent here in Burlington is incredibly high. If Trisha mentioned you get a car repair, then where's the money? How are you going to deal with it? And the other thing that's really important here is that one of the big challenges that we're facing in Vermont, we can't get workers and for many employers who have jobs. And one of the major challenges is that the pressure and it falls on women much more than men is childcare. And if something goes awry, the choice that a woman has with a child is between trying to work or neglecting their child. And as Trisha was mentioning, you get a little extra income support. And it makes it somewhat more flexible for that woman to be able to continue making a choice that includes working in the labor force. And by the way, that's why childcare is also so important. It's important for the family. It's important for the child. But it's also important so that people who would like to be in the labor force, women, and they're dropping, they're the ones dropping out much more than men because of childcare responsibilities, they have that option. So this is really important economically for the well being of our economy, not just for the well being of the family. Yes, no, no, it's up to the parent. There's eligibility in terms of income. But again, you know, a point I was making that I think is really, really important. Because you know, we know what we know how divided it is in Congress right now. And what's so what's so destructive about the division is that we've got common problems. So you've got Trudy here in Vermont in Burlington. You've got her counterpart in Oklahoma. And in some states, as I mentioned, they may have voted for Trump. Other states they voted for Biden, some families, the same thing. Well, they've all got kids. They all have the same challenges. Why don't we have a program that helps all of them? You know, it's not a democratic or republican priority to try to help our kids. We might have a debate about how to do it. So there's income eligibility. But there's flexibility then for the parent to make a sensible decision. What makes sense for my family and my child? Monthly. The deadline for filing your tax information is on May 17. It's in a week. And your tax information, this is what's going to be tough for a lot of people. If your tax information is you don't owe any money, you still want to file so you may get some money. All right. And the IRS is the agency that's going to be administering this and sending the checks out. But they have to have your personal and family information, your child's name and social security number, your name, social security number. Thank you. We're all set.


Do not let anyone in the community ever tell you that you play too much football or that football will never make you religious. But it really is a pleasure to be here and it really highlights for us the importance of sport within the world of the youth. As well as highlighting for us the power that a youth may achieve. The Quran in many cases when speaking about the lives of the prophets of God you find that the Quran discusses their lives from their youth. The story of Nabi Ibrahim begins from his youth. The story of Musa even begins earlier than that. The story of Prophet Dawud begins from his youth. And therefore when you look at the examples of these people Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala stresses on the role of the youth and how much a youth can achieve in their lives. Hence Amir al-Mu'mineen states in Nehj al-Balaat in a quite beautiful line. He says the heart of a youth is like an uncultivated piece of land. Whatever you throw on it, it accepts. So he said to Imam Hassan, I tried to mold your heart before it hardened in order that you were able to take from my examples into your own life. When we just look at the words of Amir al-Mu'mineen for a couple of moments tonight, you see how powerful these words are. The heart of a youth is like an uncultivated piece of land. When we drive past an uncultivated piece of land, we begin to think of thoughts of how we should cultivate this piece of land. Some of us think of putting buildings there, car parks there, penthouses there, swimming pools there. We look at the piece of land and many ideas come. Some of those who propose ideas propose good ideas. Others propose not so good ideas. The reality is that everyone seeks to cultivate a piece of land. Likewise with the hearts of many youth here, it is our role to try and cultivate each other's hearts before others do. And the best way to cultivate hearts is through the means that is sport and especially through football. And the idea that myself especially when I began my lecture in career, I remember that I used to give examples from football players, from football teams. I don't do it as much now, but when I started off, I did. And when I did start off by giving examples of football teams, there were people amongst the crowds who would come out and say things like this person uses football examples. Of course those same people are quiet in 07, but the reality is with those people is that they didn't realize the universality that is football. The idea that football has this universal love. All of us here may have different personalities, different lifestyles, different educational backgrounds. Yet look how football has united all of us into coming together and sharing a passion. And that's why Rasulallah when he bought the religion of Islam, he didn't just bring something spiritually purifying. There is a lot of focus spiritually, but there's not many people who stress on the physical purification. There's no point in me being able to pray and fast and do Sujood for long hours if my body is not physically strong. There's no point in me being able to pray for long hours when I can't even cross the road. The idea is that Islam sorts spiritual and physical equilibrium within the youth. And that's why we found Rasulallah stressing on the importance of swimming. Rasulallah stressing on the importance of archery. Rasulallah stressing on the importance of being able to ride a horse. All of these in Arabia were sporting facets which many people used to engage in. Likewise today, although many of the sports have changed, there is a reality that the Muslim needs to look after his body. Why? Because Rasulallah used to say, Al-Aqlis Salim, the pure, submissive, peaceful mind will lead to what? Al-Jismis Salim. The pure, relaxed body. So here we find that the body has to be looked after. In this way, there's only a few pieces of advice that I'd like to give for myself on this night. And I know it's a night for all of us to enjoy ourselves, but at the same time, let us just reflect on a few things. I said that football was a means, not an end. What I mean by that is, when I was growing up, football was an end. It was as far as you were thinking. There wasn't any further thoughts. Football was everything. Whereas for everyone here, football should be a means to leading you on towards getting closer to Al-Muhammad. What I mean by that is, your Sunday shouldn't be the only activity in the community. Your Sunday when you play football should be a means for you to get involved more within your communities. And the idea that I see now, and I can envisage, that if I do come for a lecture within the mosque, I know now that everyone can now mingle with each other. And it's not just going to be a set of groups, because football was a means to uniting everyone. Don't let football be an end, where all you discuss is the football, football, football. But don't discuss any of the other activities in your community. Number one. Number two, take from the discipline that you've learned from your football and put it into your religious life. If you know that the sports centre has been booked at eight o'clock, you will not turn up at eight thirty or nine. You'll turn up at seven fifty five, ready there for the whistle to begin at eight. Bring that towards the mosque. Why isn't with the football pitch eight o'clock I can be there on time? Yet with the mosque I have to walk in at nine fifteen at the end of the lecture. Bring the discipline of the football world. Try and bring it and what you've learned towards your community activities. Look at the unity between five of you, how strong a bond it can create. Bring that unity within the mosque as well. Don't build rival groups. Rather, let everyone unite within the mosque and you'll see just how powerful you can become. Even with myself now, with all the schedule that I have in my lecturing, I still will make time like I did yesterday. This shows either that I've got too much time on my hands or I'm making too much money, or that I have some spare time to go and watch football and to go and relax. But at the same time, that's not the most important aspect of my life. It's part of my education and part as well of me enjoying myself with those around me. Therefore, the message which we'd like to bring over here with all of us is let us take this football as a means for us developing ourselves and making our community stronger. And as a final point, do not let anyone in the community ever tell you that you play too much football or that football will never make you religious. Because on the contrary, I'd rather hear about you who are playing football regularly than hear about them doing other activities. Sports can be a blessing in disguise. It can keep some of our youths away from the worst of places, from hanging with the worst of people, from being around places which may lead them to haram. Sports may actually bring people together towards bringing them closer to Allah SWT. So continue to stress on the importance of sports in your community. And we will see that this community which I was brought up in and which all of you have been brought up in will continue to be the strongest of communities.


Hi, it's Bridget. Today I want to share with you a very personal psychic story. The date that I'm recording this video is a very special day for me. Today is my psychic birthday and I want to share with you the story of how that came to be. It was back in 2004 when all this began, when I became aware of the fact that I was not just kind of intuitive, but that I was very psychic. So how it goes is my mom was getting ready to sell our childhood home. It was a house that we've lived in for many, many years. It was two years after my dad had passed away and she was packing up things and I got a frantic call from her just a few weeks, about a week or so prior to this date. And she was very upset because once she was packing up all her things, there was one thing she could not pack up and move with her onto her new place to start her new part of her life and that was dad's urn. Now my dad's urn was this big box. It was just this simple oak box and it was heavy. You know what it reminds me of? Those old silverware boxes and it had sat there in the dining room actually in the bureau for about two years and I being the oldest of three, it's kind of my responsibility to take care of things. So I stepped into action and I made arrangements to have my dad's ashes buried up north, way up in northern Minnesota in a small little farming community and that farming community is very special to my family because my great grandparents were born and raised there and my dad's parents, my dad's mother was also born and raised there. And so I remember as just a really little, little kid going up north and visiting this small little town with this cool old church and it just so happens that in my grandma and grandpa's, my great grandma and grandpa's house, they had, and when they sold the farm, they moved into town as they often do, you know, and behind there was a little alley and then right behind that was this old cemetery and it didn't have a fence around it or anything. It was just very green and just, it was beautiful, huge trees and just it seemed so special to me and growing up, I remember, I remember the cemetery. In fact, my great grandpa was the caretaker and so I actually used to, when we went up north, I was so excited to go and play in the cemetery. To me it was just like this beautiful park, this peaceful place and I used to call the markers, the gravestones, my great grandpa's trophies. Like nobody thought that was weird as a child that I liked that, but it was just this thing, right? So that cemetery, my childhood play place, I guess, is where my dad is buried, his ashes are buried and so how this happened was then, so it was two years after my dad passed away and it was a girls weekend. I was going up north and I had a girlfriend with me in a minivan and we just took a detour. We took an extra hour to go to this cemetery and I literally met a guy in an old rusted out Ford pickup truck with a shovel in the back and he was the grave digger and I thought kind of that would all be done before I got there, but it kind of wasn't and so we got there and it was cool. The weather was very cool in Minnesota. It's beautiful in the autumn here and it was kind of chilly and he, we waited, my friend in Iowa, he dug up the earth and I literally set the box, this heavy box. I leaned in and set this box into the earth and I could feel, I'll never forget the feeling and it wasn't creepy at all of the earth on just on the side of my arm on my shoulder because it was deeper than I thought and I kind of caught myself, you know? I thought, oh, deep into the earth and I set the box in and then the old guy with the shovel started putting the dirt back and I just stood there for a bit. We had stopped to buy flowers and I stood there and read some of the markers of some of my family and it was just peaceful and then it started to kind of rain, but it was a rain that was like a little bit of a freezing. It was really chilly like little pellets. It wasn't raining hard just little bits and enough enough that it had some weight to it, I could feel it. I remember that, that feeling of the rain on my my cheeks and stood there for a bit. My fingers started kind of shake a little and my friend nudged me and she said, pick up some rocks. I thought, what? Let me pick up some rocks. In the earth, the mound that was being put back into its place, there were some big chunks of rocks, big rocks, different sizes and I thought, oh, okay. And so I picked some up and those rocks rolled around in my mini van for about a month before I actually took them out and I put them into this beautiful ceramic bowl that my brother had actually made in high school, one of those ceramics classes and I still have it. In fact, it's in my bathroom just right next to the tub, this beautiful bowl with all these rocks from that day in it just captures the energy. Maybe that's when I started to like rocks. I don't know, might be. So then after that I was really kind of just almost numb. It was just kind of like another to-do on my list. I never really felt overly emotional and it had been two years after all since my dad died. I was very close to my dad by the way. I was very, very close to my dad and so then my friend and I, we continued on our journey and back to the cabin. We arrived there and it was a full house. There were many, many ladies there already. There's probably 12 of us, 13 of us total and I went up to the loft where my bed was and put my stuff down and I started to not, I just, I didn't quite feel right. I felt almost disconnected and a little bit numb. Again, I didn't feel really emotional. I think my friend expected me to be just crying and really emotional and I just, I didn't really feel anything. I didn't feel, I felt almost like I was in a no space, no time space or something. It was, it was like on a pause almost. It was different. I wasn't afraid or anything or I just kind of thought maybe I'm not feeling well, you know? So I went downstairs to this big huge table where everybody plays cards and stuff and there were some ladies sitting and I sat down next to someone and I kind of leaned over to her and I said, and I had met her before so like I knew her name I think but that was pretty much it.  Shaw wrapped around her and she was this older woman and she smelled really good and I saw her earrings and I could describe her and I leaned over and I told this, this woman, I told her that I, I don't know, how do I explain this?   I said, I didn't know either, you know, and then pretty soon as the, the time went on, I, I just connected to more, I, I could feel more spirit and I was having these two conversations with other ladies and other spirits and then eventually I just had to, I, I just had to stop, you know, I just I didn't feel well. I started to get a headache and I kind of thought maybe I had the flu or something. So I kind of got a headache and I kind of had that hot, warm, icky feeling, you know, and you think you're coming down with something and so I went upstairs and I laid down for a while and the next morning, my friend who coordinated the retreat, we went on a walk and it was so chilly. It was perfect weather, not raining anymore, but it was just perfect weather in Minnesota and we were walking because she and I had made plans to do the breast cancer three day walk later that year. And so we are the following year. And so we needed to fundraise. So we are going to go on this walk and kind of process, talk about, okay, what can we do to fundraise for this three day? Because it was really expensive. It was all over $2,000 at that time. That was like 14 years ago, you guys. And so that was a lot of money then. And we were walking and we were talking and she said, trying to process fundraising ideas. She said, Bridget, you should do psychic work.  So that's how my psychic work or my business started. I did groups. I would go into groups and I would do it for fundraising. And it wasn't very long. It literally maybe not even five months. And I had all the money for the fundraising that I needed for the breast cancer three day. I had it in like five months and that was pretty fast. And I loved doing groups and I was focused on mediumship. That's sort of how I started.  I didn't do it all the time, but I started doing private sessions and mediumship. And that's how I started. And I really believe that the reason why I opened up that way or I was willing to open up that way was because of my dad. I had a resource on the other side. I had an in in the afterlife and it was because of my dad and I trusted my dad. So when I would do sessions and really believe you me, I've had a lot of dads from the afterlife, especially in the beginning coming through. My dad would kind of be my protector. And I knew that when I had dad there, it was I was safe. Everything was fine. I wasn't scared. I didn't think it was creepy or anything like that. It was just so natural for me. It was no big deal for me. And of course, I had to learn very early on how to manage energy. That's why I got a headache and didn't feel well because you really have to manage your energy and understand how energy works. And over time, I've gotten, I think pretty good at that. It's a necessity. It's just a part that you need to have in order to do this kind of work, especially when you're constantly doing mediumship. And that's how it started.  I've had some experience in that area. And mostly though, I like the angels, the archangels. That was kind of my, I don't want to say my favorite, but that's the, that's my go-to. That's what I connect with, who I connect with energies that connect with a lot in session, because I think a lot of people can identify and relate to that. So the angels came early, early on. And I bet you're probably wondering, well, so when did you talk to your dad? Well, I talked to my dad ever since he died. I talked to him all the time. I talked to him in my kitchen and I shared messages to, with my brother and sister from my dad. And it was just normal and it was just natural. And I had been doing that all along, like since he passed away in 2002. And so I just always did that. I kind of thought that everybody just did that. Once you had someone who was on the other side or in heaven, whatever your belief system is, I, I just thought it was natural. You just connect with them. Why wouldn't you connect with them in life? Why wouldn't you connect with them in your spirit, especially since you're connected by love? Love is that channel. Love is that, that, that phone line, you know, that cable that connects, right? So you can communicate. And then looking back now over time, I, I realized how, how these parts of me have integrated. And in fact, so during that time, I was also at my job, I had gotten a promotion and moved into organizational development and learning. So I did training and such. And so I had the opportunity. I kind of took the initiative and asked to become a certified life coach. And so I did also around that time. It was, I think it was 2005 when I did that. And so I became a certified life coach. So I, it was a natural integration from my psychic work, from mediumship, and from coaching to just put that all together. And I use all of those skills. I'm such a, I have such a passion for empowering and inspiring people and your spirit to connect with your spirit and access this incredible resource that we all have. And so it's just a natural integration for me.  And I, in fact, it's kind of interesting. So when I first got psychic, I was first aware of my psychic gifts. All these other stories started coming forward. So my mom shared that when I was little, not just playing in the cemetery thing, but my mom shared that when I was little, they used to tell people, she would tell people that I had a photographic memory. Like this was really little like when I was four, because I would be able, I was so clairvoyant. I have always been so clairvoyant. And clairvoyance is the psychic gift of sight. Like I see, I see everything. I see spirit. I see everything. And I see energy too, which is probably why I am interested in clearing work. And I do that often and healing work as well energetically, because I, it's just, I see that's just my, that's my jam, you know? And my mom would tell people that I was clairvoyant or I was, that I had a photographic memory because I could describe in detail where things were sitting on their tables or in their living rooms and the coffee table or how the pictures were aligned on their, you know, entertainment center and that kind of a thing. And I, and, and I'm like, but mom, I've never even been in their house, you know? And so there's some stories like that, but there's also, and then there's stories where growing up. So like, I had a lot of paranormal experiences as a preteen and a teenager, which is common for people who are psychic, who are very psychic people. And maybe you experience that, or maybe you have children that experience that, but lots of paranormal activity. So in my bedroom, things would fly around. Sometimes I'd have some, it depends on what spirits were around. Some creepy stuff did happen. I was really scared, probably like early teen, preteen, early teen. Lots of stuff happened. Stuff got moved around. That stuff wasn't that creepy. But when things actually flew around, back in the day, McDonald's used to have in their happy meals, they had these little cars, they were zooming cars, you pulled them back and they just raced. I had them lined up on my dresser and they're called, I think they were called them fast Macs or something. You pull them back and they zoom. Well, I had those on my dresser and I had some pencils, like in a pencil thing on my dresser. And one night I could always feel on, I would feel unsettled. It was hard to sleep. I went through some periods of time where the house felt like it was haunted and it clearly was. There was other paranormal activity that affected other people in the home growing up too. And so I, and it wasn't an old house. No, that's a myth, you guys. It's not just old houses that have spirits. It's when there are spiritually connected people in the house, psychic people in the house that you can have that just so you know, it's not just old houses. It's also people that attract that energy. And so, and that's what happened with us, I believe. And so, one night, I mean, I was really unsettled and I could feel it. I just felt uncomfortable. I couldn't get to sleep and it was tough. I slept with the lights on. My sister didn't really appreciate that. We shared a room. I slept with the lights on. I would get my little brother to come and sleep on the floor next to me so that I wasn't alone and stuff. And one night we were playing cards, trying to fall asleep with the lights on. Crazy. And all of a sudden the cards went all over. And then those little fast Macs zinged back and zoom and hit the, flew across the thing and hit the closet door and then the pencils started flying and then all of a sudden it was done. I was like, oh my gosh, you know, we just huddled together and it was done. So I had some experiences like that growing up. And then in adulthood, I would, I remember visiting a college and it was an old, cool, old Catholic college. And I was walking down one of the stairs after one of the meetings about the, you know, the studies and the offerings there and his big old staircase and then the cool, you know, the mule posts were so cool and just beautiful wood. And I moved and said, excuse me, to walk around a nun that was coming up the stairs. Well, I had a friend with me and she said, what are you doing? She thought I was crazy. I said, well, and then I realized she didn't see her. I said, you didn't see that? She said, no.  No, seriously, it's the truth. It's just the way it's been. And that was, I think that might have been before I even knew that I was psychic. Yeah, I think it was. And yeah, it was. And so that's, so I have some other experiences like that as well. And so you just connect the dots, you know, I just thought I honestly just thought that I had a great imagination. I was always a really good writer. And I had these great, I just thought it was creative, you know, growing up. I thought it was just a creative type, you know, I thought I had a good imagination. I thought everybody had that. I thought everybody, I thought it was normal, like it wasn't a big deal to me. I never tried to hide, you know, my intuition or anything like that. It was only in adulthood when I actually recognized that I was what I was doing, what I was able to do and how I could connect was called psychic and medium. The whole word psychic scares people away or it did at that time. You know, this was like 14 years ago. And so I was like, ooh, I'm a professional and I have a family and I don't know how to just say I'm psychic. And so then I became, I kind of went on a mission for myself to embrace who I am and whatever terms that means that psychic and medium. And so I proudly used the term psychic because I want it to be just normal. Like I am a soccer mom. I am educated. I went to college. I have a couple of degrees. I had a very professional career. I am someone you would bump into in the line at the grocery store and say, oh, excuse me. Or, you know, I might hold the door open for you because you have more bags than I do.  It's so natural for me. It's like breathing. It's not separate for me. It's part of who I am. And I intend to love all parts of myself and embrace all of the gifts that I, I've been given the awareness of in this lifetime. And so I think by doing that, it empowers other people, especially women, to recognize the power that you have and the gifts that you have. And it's important for us all to have that kind of a connection with ourselves and really love and accept ourselves as well. And today I'm celebrating myself and all parts of me. I am so grateful. I have met so many incredible people and my journey continues to unfold. And I'm excited about what the future holds. And there's always something new. So I have, I have had experience in all different kinds of psychic areas. And I'm sure that more will come forward. And right now I'm doing a lot of channeling work and I'm talking to a lot of afterlife, afterlife spirits. But I also channel you, your spirit, your intuition. So I do both. But the channeling is just perfect. It's just who it's, it fits me. It's who I am. You know, it's like, it's natural. It's just like talking to you right now. So, so that's my psychic story. Today is my psychic birthday and you better bet that I'm going to celebrate it. I want to say thank you to all the people who supported me along the way and the people who now as I break into new areas are kind of people that don't really know me yet, might not understand the backstory. And I think it's important for you to do that, to see me as a person and understand the story behind the person. And even the people that are starting to challenge me now, because there are people that aren't so nice, like with some of their comments and things on some of my YouTube channels and stuff. And it surprises me. It just kind of surprises me, I guess, but that's an area that I, I continue to grow in as well. You know, it just, it just pushes me more into loving myself and really, I just believe so much in who I am. And I look forward to continued opportunities in the future to grow, to continue to grow and develop. So now with my transformative channeling and channeling afterlife celebrities, that's really fun and doing my retreats. It's just, it's wonderful. I look forward to what the future holds. So thank you for being part of the journey. I have a lot of gratitude. Thank you.
