If you have listened to the news this week, many women have come forth in the media and they are holding their own ground.  We have heard news about a female governor discussing politics with the President, and our Secretary of State making some announcements of her own.  Well, it is not over with yet!  There are more announcements coming from  women who are movers and shakers!  Keep the tally marks going because it is not over with yet.  Mars is retrograde and it will continue for awhile.

Mars goes Retrograde this week.  Look out Gentlemen!

This is usually an indicator of female strength.  Many strong women come to the front and take the lead.  It is a time when politics get another breath of fresh air. This also means surprises in many aspects.  You know what happens when there is fresh air.  You are allowed to breathe and the new blast of oxygen makes you feel hopeful because it causes your brain to think better. Your body feels better and you are able to pursue projects that just did not seem to get off the ground.  It appears that many things in society are stagnant and  going nowhere.

Think about your place of work, the political arena and your own universal talents!  There is no doubt that the film “Iron Lady” that was released a few weeks ago is on target and very appropriate.  Okay ladies, go for it.  This is your time to shine!

A Lunar Eclipse took place on December 10, 2011. I am sure many of you felt it.  It was a  kicker, and especially if your birthday fell a few days before or after this eclipse.   There are several things that are happening at this time.   Ponder this…………..  reflect on 19 years ago to remember past behaviors.  Are there threads that show the connection between then and now?  Are there karmic lessons that you needed to pay attention to but didn’t? What did you learn?  Don’t kill the messenger but learn the lessons. The players may have changed but the lessons are still there. The cold winter winds are bringing your thoughts home to plan your strategies.

Looking At The Crystal Ball:  The Next 30 Years   By David Witkege

From the fantastic to the mundane, local psychic, Debbie Carvelli predicted Roanoke future for the next three decades.

Somebody in your family, Uncle Larry, Cousin Amy, your dad, somebody has incredibly acute hearing.  You don’t even dare think of a secret if he or she is                                         even in the neighborhood.  These people seem to utilize a Broad                                  Bandwidth in the information Stream bombarding all of us. Call these unusually sensitive individuals psychics, or clairvoyants  (or, less kindly, lunatics).  The fact that many of these people are  consulted yet by the most pragmatic of organizations-police departments all over the country is an indication that whatever we may think, at some level, these special people truly are effective and their abilities real.

Debbie Carvelli is one of these special people.  Born in Clarksburg, W.VA., she realized at a young age that she was intuitive.  Buy the time she was in high school she was getting calls from all over the state as well as writing an astrology column.

While earning her B.S. in education then went on to earn a Masters in educational psychology from West Virginia University, she taught parapsychology at Parkersburg Community College and a nurse’s class at Camden-Clarke Hospital in Parkersburg.  Since 1988, she has taught courses in psychology and parapsychology at Virginia Western Community College.

Along the way, Debbie has appeared on television in Clarksburg, done guest spots on the talk radio station in Morgantown, W. Va., worked with the police department in several states, appeared on national television’s “Sightings”, program and on Channel 7 News with Steve Pardon here in Roanoke, offering annual predictions for 9 years dealing with local, political and national events.  She co-hosts ghost tours of the area.  Some people might chuckle at that, but some truly skeptical attendees have finished an evening with Debbie with a new perspective and a new awareness.

We asked Debbie to help us with a look forward 30 years into the future of our valley and the magazine.  The responses range from somewhat mundane “well of course”- material to rather startling.

•  The valley will no longer be the “allergy bowl; and a trap for polluted air.  This is because an earthquake is going to open the valley at points, providing for more circulation.

• Part of the opening of the geologic valley will result from massive land development, and part of the cleaner air is going to result from non-fossil fueled automobiles.

• There will be more problems with water in Roanoke—both the river flooding and the increasing need for potable water.

• A military museum is going to be built in Roanoke.
• A new civic center will be built.  It will be larger and well-equipped.

• Roanoke is going to play a larger and larger role in arts and science and will achieve international recognition for discoveries and presentations.

• Center in the Square is going to grow dramatically in size and scope.

• Art and artists will pour into the area.

• A new museum will be built to house all of the memorabilia tying
  Roanoke and the railroad.

• Drama and acting will gain more support attracting a larger group of actors to area for more summer stock.  Celebrity names will come to Roanoke.

• History awareness is going to blossom with new archeological finds and the resurrection of a manuscript dating from the 1700s that will be housed out of town until a new museum can be built to house and display it.

• Information will come to light about The Lost Colony of Roanoke.

• The year 2005 will be full of developments in the field of education.

• With the addition of new educational institutions will come support for a range of alternative health therapies.

• The airport will finally enlarge to accommodate enough air traffic to support economic growth and many more jobs.

• Roanoke will be awarded the “kindness” award.

• A local athlete will compete in the Olympics.

• Technology will produce “firsts” (including medical firsts) that will bring Roanoke international attention.

• Cultural diversity will increase to the point that teachers will need to learn second languages, new houses of worship will be built for different faiths.

• A new comedy club will open and this time it will succeed.

• Oprah Winfrey will come to town.

• Animal hospitals will open that will also be teaching institutions.

• A military base will locate here.

• Bronze statues of famous Roanoke citizens will be erected around the downtown area.

• Crimes committed years ago will be solved.

• Roanoke is going to gain many more “sister” cities worldwide, and  we will have more streets names for them.

• Solar energy is going to provide domestic energy in a big way.

• Good fortune is going to rain down on the Roanoke Valley and along with it government funds to make good things happen.

• The Roanoker Magazine will grow in size and coverage.  Many more national celebrities will grace its cover because they will have been in Roanoke.  Additional publications will cover specifics such as the arts and sciences.  One will be devoted exclusively to the art of China, and representatives from the magazine will travel to China.

Which Wardrobe Will you Choose?   (Analogy to Chronicles of Narnia)

Have you ever wondered why we are here?  It seems that at this time there are many doors are opening for us.  Which one do we choose?  We have just been through one of the most splendid times in our lives and we are here on this planet to continue to realize it.  The best part of it is….IT IS NOT OVER WITH!!!!  I don’t think that we have internalized what this means as “Light Workers.”  It is a time when we are remembering all the things that we are supposed to. It is all within us.

We have been through the Crusades, the Renaissance, The Enlightenment,  and so on…….But when we think of the time of Enlightenment, we should add that this is the time for “Light Workers”.  They are all around.  We have progressed to this point and we are the divine beings who have found our spiritual experiences as human beings.  We are  seeking truths for total perfection.  We are the NOW. It is the time for us to engage within our own faith and realize that it is all part of Divine Order. We are part of that realization.  We are not excluded!!

We have had tools at our disposal for centuries.   We needed to develop the way to make it work better for us.  Just like the discovery of fire, we needed to research it to know all of the possibilities. Amazing!  All of the things that we ever needed are right here on earth…..we needed to evolve enough to reach out to it. This time is now.  The Christ Consciousness is now. We are the now.  It is a wonderful time to breath in the breath of life, the Christ Life because it is all around us.  There is magic in the air.  Just breathe it in.  Experience it.  You will know it!

If you ever get a chance to watch a video on a snowy night, choose this one.  “The Lion , The Witch, and the Wardrobe.”  It is truly a movie that you do not want to miss. It describes the now and what we are faced with. So which is it?  Do we want to always have winter and never Christmas or are we ready for Spring when new life begins.  Which wardrobe will be the one that has its comfort for all seasons?  The Inner Life?

Have we always had the Wardrobe but just not taken the time to go “through” it? There are usually all kinds of goodies in back of the wardrobe. All children already know this face.  As children, we experienced that and were amazed that adults never really knew what they had.  Imagine having all the wonders at their disposal, but never looking through a child’s eyes to see it.
