Hi Erika! Believe it or not, I am just now "finding" these questions! You already answered the question for me!...If I could change the world??? LOVE and PEACE...! I know that always sounds cliche and a little corny, but it really is true. The "state" people are in when they are "there" creates such a wonderful creative energy...the tensions of daily life, the anger, and especially the impatience that is so pervasive, strangles those two states of being, and if all people really could "live" in those 2 places, it would be a different planet. hugs...xo

aww, thats a great answer Lin!! :D :D couldn't have been said any better ;) :D

[Lin Shaye]

Thanks Bill! And, on another note, everytime I look at that picture of Norman Bates, I worry that that who is answering me! That's one of the scariest films I ever saw!:D

Johanna,

I cannot imagine how hard it would be for you to not be accepted. I was extremely lucky to have been blessed with my mother, who sees no one as any different from everybody else. She taught me to treat everyone the same, and that no matter what obstacles people face, people have feelings, hopes, dreams, ideas... just like me. Race, religion, appearance - makes no difference to me. I will offer my friendship to all :)

There are many good people in the world, and I am sorry that some people did not give you the respect that you so truly deserve. All you can be is yourself, and if people don't love you for it, it is their loss, not yours.

Take care my friend,
Zoeeee

Dear Johanna, I think our friend Zoeeeeeeeee said it all...and yes, as you said, do not forget all of our wonderful animals, who love us, and kiss us, and cuddle up to us no matter what, and who appreciate every little thing that we do for them. We have a lot to learn from them, that is for sure.
You sound as if you have a wonderful attitude, and just keep surrounding yourself with the loving things in your life, and your attitude will be nourished! Looks like you just found a whole new group of friends to do just that! Remember too, all of us, no matter what we have, what we feel, what we look like or what we do, run into "road blocks" in life. That just seems to be part of the "deal" but without that, the sweet and good things would seem a little less sweet and good! Enough philosophy! Enjoy this beautiful day! Love, Lin ;)

lin don't make me cryyyyyyyy , but you are so right! and i have an confession to make , my biggest hobby is magic, but i have had that gift all my life! i am a real charmed one witch! i can do things others would dream of but i get jealous of people who can skate on ice and do things i can't do because of my 'stupid'wheelchair, my biggest dream is to pet a black panther and to organize a concert for those who need our help, and john miles - music was my first love is the big hit at my concert,,,,,,


blessed be , johanna

[johanna]

i don't want to sound pathetic, but my life hasn't been easy :( and i wanted to get out of it but i can't

[Zoee]

Like Lin said, we all face some road blocks, and I know you have faced many more than a lot of us here. You just need to keep on fighting, Johanna. Make sure you live life that best way you possibly can. There are going to be some more tough moments ahead, but if you remain positive and happy, you can get through anything. All of the challenges that we face make us stronger.

thank you so much zoee! i love you all!

Dear Johanna! Your note gave me goosebumps! MAGIC!!! Wow! That is such a special gift that is only given to a rare and wonderful few. I believe in EVERYTHING, and that really everything is possible...if not always literally, in your heart and mind.
It is strange you mention a black panther. There is a stray cat who lives in my neighborhood. He was a big black skinny cat I named "Blockhead," as he seemed to have a big square head...and his body was so thin. I started feeding him, and he started to come around and lounge on my little patio, and would sleep peacefully in the sun. When I went to Vancouver last summer for 2 months to do SNAKES ON A PLANE, I came home and saw him no more. He had disappeared. I thought maybe he even had died. Yesterday, suddenly I looked out my window and there he was, long, sleek, muscular, and beautiful...and I called out to my son "Do you want to see a black panther?" Because that was EXACTLY what he had become! I bet you will find your black panther someday! Let music keep filling your soul, and keep the dreams going through your spirit, and I can feel you have much unexpected joy ahead. Love, Lin

[johanna]

dear lin will you do me a little favor and call him mike? because that's my dream blackpanther in my dreams

johanna

[Lin Shaye]

MIKE IT IS.....!!!!:)
PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[my_imagination]

I bet you will find your black panther someday! Let music keep filling your soul, and keep the dreams going through your spirit, and I can feel you have much unexpected joy ahead. Love, Lin

Thats beautiful... and yeah Johanna what you said sounds so true you said i can do things other can only dream about <-- that in itself is amazing, hold on to that, grasp it and let it flow through you, for it will help you overcome "Roadblocks" and obstacles that will come your way...keep smiling and dreaming xoxo

peace- love
xox erika

p.s where did the name Mike come from? hehe, blank panther, how random, ive never seen one before though. but i've seen loads of black cats. haha i love black cats lol

[johanna]

mike is my life guard.......and yes that is a black panther, and i also have a quard stallion (black) called lightning, (bliksem in dutch), and then i have a lucky dragon, falcor, yes from the movie: never ending story, and vincent from the tv series, beauty and the beast from 1987

and a crow called eric, the crow movies ;)



johanna

[Lin Shaye]

Wow Johanna! You have so many wonderful "guardians." I am sure they will all keep you safe...and make sure you have happiness each day! I think each one of us has different guardians, and I think they reveal themselves to us at different times.

[johanna]

yessss, i have an black panther tattoo on my left shoulder also... hahaahha

any idea? maybe ms shaye ? this is my newest topic, maybe you can give me advice lin?

love johanna

[gizmo]

i answered you in the other thread but ill say the same here to
Hi Johanna,
I had the same argument with my brother not long ago i said to him you never call you never visit why dont you care about me. He said i do care but i know your ok if you wasnt i would know about it but i have alot to do with work and everything and im always here when you need me then he made a good point when was the last time you called or came to see me. I laughed thinking i had him on this one im calling now aint i. He said see i always know when your not ok because you make sure i do lol then we arranged to go to dinner.
My point is call them tell them how you feel because if you dont they will think everything is ok when its not.
Hope you get what i mean

[johanna]

i read it giz :) thanks

[Lin Shaye]

Hi Johanna,
I just read your question and "gizmo's" answer! I agree. You reach out to THEM! They will be surprised for sure, and you ask them how they are all doing, instead of waiting for them to ask you! Even if they don't answer you back right away, you will feel good about yourself for "reaching out." Very worst case, if "nothing really chnages" on their side, you will still feel so good about yourself, and know YOU are doing the right thing! We miss the beautiful things that are right in front of us very often, because we are "looking at our shoes," instead of up and out...and I find, no matter what anyone else does, as we cannot control that, or "make" people do what we think is right, when you look up and out, and have "forward motion," in your actions, good things come! Try it and let us all know! With love, Lin

[johanna]

i just sent them an email but i got them back and i don't know their addresses....:mad: :mad: so i am still no where.....

[Lin Shaye]

Good for you! And even though you have not contacted them yet, keep trying. Someone will have a correct address for you. Be a detective...try everyone and everything...and again, no matter what...you are doing the right and loving thing! ;)

[johanna]

thank you!:D i love to solve things out hahahahaahah and i will do it sooner or later! i bet you:D

[Lin Shaye]

Keep us posted! If your sister was the one who "messaged" you about your family, ask her for their contacts! Hoping to hear good news! Lin;)

LOL im so happy someone can read what i say and know what i mean im so bad when it comes to giving advice because i never know how to put it. lol thanks Lin

[johanna]

lin and giz i love you both and i love the black dress....... ;-)!

[gizmo]

I have a question. i was having a debate with my sister last night about the whole Madonna thing and i was wondering what eveyone thought about it. my sister says she shouldnt have been able to do it but i think she should any thoughts on this subject

[johanna]

i don't like madonna hahahahaha

[my_imagination]

i honestly think that she had good intentions doing what she is doing... buuut i think it got a bit messed up. i read somewhere that if you want to adopt a child and take him/her out of their country, you have to live in THAT country for 13 months with the child, sooo IF thats true, then she kind of by-passed that
Secondly, the father not knowing how to read or write and not understanding what was going on, isnt that great. But apparently, David didnt grow up with him or something...
Soo honestly, i dont know what to think. I think her intentions were good, things got blown out of proportion and the media had a field day
