Beloved,

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Even if you’re not Irish, you get an Irish
Blessing. So here it is. It is yours for the rest of the year.

May your blessings outnumber
The Shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go!

I love the Irish accent and the humor that goes with it: Here is
a sick note in case you need it to go to see the parade.

Irish Sick Note (sound on)

This description by Paddy just about sums up my week. I wrote last
week about the scammer that called me. Well, that seemed to start
an avalanche of computer problems. Privately, I now know that it
was the energy caused by my being so upset that built the energy
so high that it manifested at my weakest point, the computer.
Have you ever been so upset that it started an avalanche of
circumstances that you could not quite control? This is a great
example of what happens when you let fear take over.

I have been upset with myself for my lack of Faith and Trust. AND
IT SHOWED. As we are always the only creator of our world, it was
a wake up call for me. The vibrations and energy caused a mini
tornado to occur in my world.

I started to get a message that my computer was at risk, that I
needed to get virus protection. I already had Norton but this
was a message from Microsoft windows. What should I do? My son,
Bruce suggested that I call Norton, so I did. You know when you
call for help from a large company, your call goes to a different
country? Well, here I was again with someone who has an accent but
it was not as bad as the scammers.

The man was very polite and tried for four hours to figure out why
and how this was happening on my computer. Next, I asked to speak
to a supervisor and this man’s accent was not as pronounced. In
fact, it could have been a woman but I did not want to take the risk
of offending him/her and their Indian names I am not familiar with
so that did not assist me in determining the sex. What difference
did it make anyway? After another 3 and a half hours at this computer,
the technician said he/she would call me the following day. In the
meantime, I did not want to risk using my computer and expose it to
viruses.

The next day, I called Microsoft to see if they had any heads up
about this. The technician could not even get into my computer
to see what was happening. My computer simply would not let her
to take over and while I was on the phone with her, Norton called
me. We all decided to let Norton try to figure it out because
Microsoft could not do anything if they could not “see” the problem.

This man was a higher level technician so he had more expertise to
work with and after another three and a half hours, he convinced
me that my computer was in fact protected by Norton no matter
what that pop up error message said. He said that , for some reason,
Microsoft just wasn’t able to recognize that Norton was doing the
protection. The two systems just weren’t communicating(does this
sound familiar?), it seems to be a worldwide problem. I breathed a
heavy sigh of relief and made the decision to trust what I was being
told. I don’t know about you, but I hold my breath when I am in
situations like this. I don’t realize it until it is over and I start
breathing again. I know better than to do this but it seems to be
an automatic response to stress.

My anxiety vibration seemed to reek havoc with my electronically
devices including my TV. All of a sudden, my TV was coming in and
out.I went uotside to check the satellite dish and it was fine. There
was a little wind but nothing that would affect the dish. After
an hour of this, I called Direct TV and the technician kept leading
me to try different things which were not working. Finally, after
an hour she had me switch the ?cables and screw cable 1 on receptor
2 and vice versa. That worked and it was working fine again. Whew!

I went to print something out from my computer and discovered that
it would not print. As I checked, I had no computers listed on my
computer. Well, I dug out the installation CD’s. As I have two
printers, I started with the oldest one and kept getting a message
about “print spooler is not running”. I had no idea what that meant
so I tried the other disc for the other printer. I ended with a
message that said:”Spooler Service stopped” I was at a loss again.

Knowing that Norton was the last person to play with the computer,
I called them. I tried to get the last technician but he was
unavailable and this new tech wanted to help me. I said NO, I
cannot spend another 14 hours at this computer and I asked for
a supervisor. They were very accommodating and suddenly I was
talking to a technician who spoke English well and discovered that
this man was in Oregon.

Oh my gosh, I know I have told you this before but it is a law
that when you are connected to someone not in the US that you can
politely request to be transferred to the US. I had forgotten this
although I usually do ask when I am calling a company and I know they
have given me someone not in the US. I have no bias against any one
in a different country but my motto is to help Americans keep their
jobs. I do this on the phone and when I am shopping which includes
grocery shopping, I do my best to buy only American made goods. It
surprised me how much food is from other countries although I knew
that goods were made in other countries.

It was a pleasure to be able to understand Jason and since my
computer is slow, we had much time to chat while it was doing it’s
thing. Another 3 hours at the computer and he finally figured out
how to fix it and even stayed on the phone while I reinstalled my
printers and they were both working. Hooray! I missed 17 minutes of
a class I had purchased on line but it was worth it.

I would like to highly recommend Norton for protection of your
computer. It might have taken a while but they would not abandon
me until it was completely fixed. They stuck with me through
thick and thin and were pleasant about it.

I had p reprogrammed my TV to record shows while I was on this
teleconference. When I got through I went to my TV but it was
giving me a message that I could only record one show so I was unable
to watch one and record another. Darn. Well, the energy is starting
to settle down and the problems seem to be getting smaller. I will
attend to this matter tomorrow as this day is full writing to you
and then preparing the information and script for my TV Show today.

Can you see why the SICK NOTE made me laugh so much. It seems to
be a composite of my past week and I was happy to see the humor in
it. Remember to have compassion when your family or friends go
bonkers. In fact, you can share this story or newsletter with them.
Just remember to catch yourself when you are extremely upset or
anxious as it stirs the energy and vibration and you have started an
avalanche that will only stop at the bottom. Join me in believing
and trusting in the Higher Power no matter what name you give it.
AND…..see the humor in it, it would make a great sitcom.

I will give you another video to watch. Just reading about it
does not do it justice. You want to his face when the “impossible”
happens. It gives us hope when we think we at the end of our rope.

This man lost half of his leg and because he needed the money he
thought he would sell an old Indian blanket that he inherited from
his family.

Incredible! Those early Navajo weavers knew how to obtain the best
thread!

Have faith is all that happens and you will come out on top.

SMILE!

Love and Light
