WALES LANDMARK IS NO MORE

I believe that an epitaph is needed for the passing of a
Wales Landmark, The Lakeland Beach Club’s historic
clubhouse where so many memories were created and
enjoyed. This building was erected in 1947 by many
people mostly members who donated their time and
effort to build a place where their families and the
members could gather and celebrate being alive.

There are still members alive who participated in
the “club raising” (barn raising) and who remember
the joy that this building brought to its members.
There were dances held as well as fund raisers,
there was and still is a speaker on the only tree on
the beach that was hooked up to the music source
in the club house so the music could be enjoyed by
all, even those on the beach. Of course, the speaker
is no longer in service and has not been in years but
it is there as a reminder of the “good old days”.

Many a barbecue was enjoyed by all as well as
protection from the elements. Members could
rent the building for a minimal fee for parties,
weddings, showers and all reasons for celebrations,
thus being ensured that regardless of weather the
occasion could still be held. It, the clubhouse, held
many joyful memories of the sharing of summer fun,
the laughter of adults and the giggling and noise of
its youngest members.

The beach is called Brow’s Beach after it’s original
owners, the Brow’s. I happen to own the home that
replaced the original one where The Brow’s would
sell hot dogs and hamburgs and whatever you needed
for a successful outing. My home is nowhere like the
original one as it is a 5 room modular home with no
amenities like what used to be offered.

The Brow’s also owned cottages here which now have
been converted to homes, 3 year rounders and 3 weekend
and summer homes. Mine is the only one that did not
upgrade from a cottage as it is only 18 years old and
is the only one without a fireplace. Being a next door
neighbor of the Beach Club has brought me an
opportunity to meet many members and to interact
with them in a more personal way. I so enjoy the
laughter of the children as they play in the water
and create castles in the sand. For most of the year
it is quiet and very few members come down so it
is like having the beach and lake to myself for
9 months of the year.

Having such a close proximity to the Beach Club gave
me a different view of its value and what it offered to its
members. I, for one, cried as it was demolished on
June 8, 2011. After the roof caved in because of the
weight of this past winter’s snowfall, it has been a
safety hazard especially to the children who have no
fear and do not recognize the danger it presented to them.
It was like a house of cards that kept settling and just
one movement caused it to collapse on top of itself.

The Club’s board and its members worked diligently to
find a construction company to tear it down and also
to find the money necessary to pay the cost. We are
a small membership, only 40 paying members and
without the means to fully fund such a venture although
a necessity. The insurance was lapsed quite a few years
ago and no insurance company was able to offer us the
reasonable cost we had before. All insurance companies
wanted a substantial increase because of the age of the
building.

I want to publicly thank the Lake George Association for
the substantial donation it gave to us. Not only was this
a boost to our fund but it gave all of us members a big
boost to our hearts. Since Lakeland Beach Club is
self sustaining with such a small membership, it was voted
that members will pay a small extra fee with the annual
membership dues for just two years in order to cover the
expenses. This was voted on at a meeting which was well
attended. In fact, Terry O’Keefe attended the meeting so
he could speak to us personally.

The Terry O’Keefe Construction company won the bid
and proceeded quickly to ease our fears by taking down
the Wales Landmark. I must say that as I saw through my
tears his men working so diligently to save whatever they
could, it lightened up my heart.They were able to
salvage some chairs, tables, lights. It was a sensitive
procedure to demolish as there were about 8 propane
tanks but all were managed to be taken out safely so
no explosions occurred.

They were not able to save the buoys that surround
and protect the raft and swimming area of our children
due to the entanglement of the ropes but they were able
to save the ladder that goes on the raft. Now our children
will be able to have their beloved raft put out for them
to swim to and jump off from. We are working on
coming up with a solution to replace the buoys.

All donations would be welcome as all of our finances are
going to pay for the removal of the clubhouse. We are
not sure if there will be enough left to pay for rototilling,
more sand for the beach or rocks for the launch pad.

We have seen much destruction between the tornadoes,
the violent storms and then the removal of our beloved
clubhouse but I for one still admire Mother Nature and
all she had to offer us. As a reminder of the beauty
she offers us, I want to add a link here to some
of the most beautiful pictures I have even seen of what
nature CAN create. This makes me feel quite small in
comparison and yet nature was created for us humans
to enjoy.

Simply gorgeous!
This may be one of the most beautiful and meaningful streaming videos ever created. Be sure your speakers are on.

MAYAN NINTH WAVE AND TRUST

Hey, I can fill my birdfeeders by walking up to them
instead of hanging out my small kitchen window. I now
have riverlets of water flowing from the melting snow into
my yard on its way to the lake which is now melting at the
shoreline. Hooray!

This new ray of energy called the Ninth Ray by the Mayans
is bringing a great deal of energy to Earth. How is this
momentum affecting you? There are to be many new
opportunities available to all of us so we can create the
life we really want to have. Yes, you will need to look
and be aware of what is right in front of you as you will
also have the opportunity to release the old patterns that
you have been hanging onto.

These patterns can be let go of the easy way by just
choosing to allow your God, Higher Self, Source,or
All That Is be in charge or…..you can choose to hang
onto your past ways of doing things. You now have a
CHOICE.

Sometimes that choice is difficult as it is scary to let go
of the reins of control and TRUST in your very own
guidance which is trying so desperately to lead the
way so it will be easier for you. I have had 10 days
of struggle with my own need for control.

The very day my electrician was finishing up and waiting
to tell me what he had done to fix my three month problem
of having no light or electricity in my bathroom, I received a
phone call from someone who said he was from my publisher.
He said that my book had been approved to be offered
to TV and Hollywood producers with my financial assistance.

My first thought was that it was a scam…they wanted to turn
my book into a movie???? I took his name and phone number
and said I would call him back after I had finished paying and
talking to my electrician. My mind was racing. I verified that
he indeed did work for my publisher so that part was true.

I returned his call and got the particulars. It seems that
producers are looking for unusual stories and my publisher
is now offering them a data base of books that would qualify.
Of course, the financial assistance he was talking about required
me to pay a script person to convert my book into a script at a
cost of over $3,400. I turned it down as that is a great deal of
money for me and there was no guarantee that my book would be
actually chosen by a producer.

I was then offered another option, for $800 a chosen editor
would do a synopsis on my book that would run from one page
to 5 pages. I could write my own synopsis at a much cheaper
price but that was not acceptable. My mind is still reeling and
every author dreams of having their book converted into a movie
and I am no exception. It felt like a great compliment. I asked
to have some time to think about it.

I prayed hard about this decision as I am on a set income and
am in the process of converting my book into an audio book
which is almost completed and that is quite an expense but
at least I have a product to offer people when it is done.
I seesawed back and forth with my decision. I had the
opportunity to speak to Jennifer Mclean and Dee Wallace,
an actress as well as a psychic. It pays to be a member of
Healing with the Masters as all members have the opportunity
to chat with Jennifer before the weekly talks by her presenters.

While I was talking to Jennifer, Dee came on the line so I actually
received guidance from both of them. Dee felt that this opportunity
was given to me to plant the idea of turning my book into a movie
and that I was perfectly capable of doing the synopsis myself. After
all, I wrote the book. Jennifer felt that this was a money maker for
the publisher even though it was an opportunity to be in a data base
that may or may not be accessed very frequently.

I still was not sure, I pondered it for 10 days. The salesman was
quite persuasive but there were hints that really bothered me. For
one, when I spoke to him there was a lot of conversational noise
in the backroom like you hear when you receive a call from a
marketer and they are in a call center. I was told that this was my
only opportunity because if I turned it down this time, I would have
lost my chance as it is only offered once. I went onto the publisher’s
website and found all the information but no where did it say it was
a one shot deal.

Would you pay that much money and not see what you are buying?
My book is unique and was guided by Mother Mary. The Divine
Feminine asked me to write this book as she said it would help so
many women honor their bodies and realize their value to the human
race. We as women have given away our power and it is now time to
take it back and be partners with the masculine in governing our world.
My book is about all the ways I gave away my power and all the ways
I took it back. But most of all, it is about the Divinity of the Womb.
The future of the human race depends on the female whose body
carries the organ that nourishes and protects the child before it
is born….before the human mother and father can take over its role.

I know I authored this book but since it is and was guided by Mother
Mary, I don’t feel I have the right to give away what is not mine. It
belongs to the Divine Feminine and I am simply Her messenger. That is
why I could not go to a regular publisher as the author needs to give
away the rights to the cover and title and since Mother gave me the
title The Wounded Chalice and told me a chalice needed to be on the
cover, I kept all the rights and used a Print on Demand publisher. The
Chalice holds the blood of life and so does the womb. It is still available
on Amazon, the book stores and also on Kindle, Nook, etc. More
details on my website.

After speaking to the salesman three times, during which I was sorely
tempted as I could see it happening and I so desperately want
Mother’s message to get out to the multitude, I declined. The
salesman was upset by all the time he spent talking to me and
then I refused but I have to listen to my guidance. After the call
I sat down in the quiet, I was mentally, emotionally and physically
drained. I know in my heart that if She wants it to be a movie,
the right person will be guided to me or my book. It does not
have to be difficult.

I heard the words: “Well Done!” One of my old patterns is
allowing myself to be talked into something I am not sure is
in my best interest. I can see both sides of every story or
event and I do have a hard time choosing. Nothing is ever
completely black or white, there is a lot of gray. This time
I TRUSTED in gut, guidance, God or whatever you choose
to call it.

Do you know of a list of producers or a way that I can
get my book to someone who would be interested? I
am trusting.

God uses us to create and help one another. Check
this out and tell me he is not being guided.

Extra Celestial guidance for sure!
