Enjoying a bite together: garlic spaghetti and True Blood

Sometimes, it’s the simple things that mean the most and make the best memories.

My man and I work the craziest of schedules and even on the best of days, we get so busy that we feel like two ships passing in the night, who meet up in the hallway to sneak a kiss and a warm moment, reminding each other how much we care about the other, no matter how busy we are.

Relationships, like anything in this world worth having, take work. It’s important not to forget this and to make spending time with your special someone as big of a priority as anything else you have going on in life. For us, we’ve found that it’s the small things that have become the most meaningful. Having said that, let me also say, we enjoy the good life, a wonderful dinner out, getting away from it all and going somewhere amazing and occasionally treating ourselves to something we want. After all, the balance to working hard, is playing hard and it’s good to have some fun.

But in this economy and busy world, we’ve rediscovered some ways to spend time together at home, which doesn’t break the budget and provides quality time together. We’ve created our own customized version of ‘Date Night – Dinner and a Movie’, watching True Blood on HBO together on Sunday nights.

We love it so much that we’ve created a ritual for the evening…. Sunday night has been declared ‘Garlic Spaghetti Night’.

On Sunday evenings, we stop whatever we’re doing and meet up in the kitchen at 5pm. Together, we cook, mincing fresh garlic and onions and creating a zesty red sauce. Chop up a fresh salad, add some fresh french bread and a glass of red wine and dinner is served and yes, serving up a garlic dish before watching a show about vampires is discussed at length.

We take our time together in the kitchen, chatting and catching up on the week while preparing the food, leisurely enjoying each other’s company. When the meal is ready, we sit down together at the table, taking the time to savor each bite and appreciating the work that each of us put into preparing the meal. While this may sound simple, don’t overlook its significance. Most couples today are so busy with work and family that it’s truly rare to find and embrace some quality time together, where you talk about everything and nothing and just relax in each other’s company. We take it to the limit, unplugging the phone, dimming the lights and lighting candles.

After dinner, it’s time for a quick wash up and tidying the kitchen and then we’re off to snuggle in front of the TV on the cozy sectional couch, just in time to watch True Blood.

We share a lifelong interest in the paranormal, both fiction and non-fiction, and I read and loved the Adventures of Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris before they were turned into the True Blood series. The books are wonderful and the show has deviated from the books in many ways, bringing new life to some of the characters, who played smaller roles in the books. True Blood is fast, chaotic, and messy, just like life at times. It’s also larger than life and meant to be enjoyed as the pure entertainment that it delivers every week. Being born and raised in Louisiana, you can imagine my delight and my chuckles at the variety of scenes and accents in the show.

When my hubby and I met, our first date was dinner at an Italian restaurant and a movie afterwards. After all these years, it’s reassuring to see that some things are still the same, while other things have changed. For us, truly, it all began with Love at the first bite.

As for True Blood, we can hardly bear to dwell on the fact that there are only two shows left! Fortunately, we have a second addiction to fill the time, we’re also avid Treme’ fans, which is coming back to HBO in the spring of 2011. If you haven’t seen Treme, I highly recommend it, it’s like being right there on the streets of New Orleans, which is where we were in April and look forward to returning again soon.

NC ghosthunter killed while investigating haunted train wreck site

What began as an investigation by fellow ghost hunters to hear and see the Bostian Bridge ghost train on the 119th anniversary of its wreck, has ended in a horrifying accident. Christopher Joseph Kaiser, age 29 from Charlotte, was struck by a train and pronounced dead at the scene on Friday morning, August 27th at 2:50am during the paranormal investigation.

The ghost hunting group consisting of a dozen people were walking on the train tracks in Statesville, NC near the infamous location of the Bostian Bridge train wreck on Buffalo Shoals Road, an area which is reported to be very actively haunted. According to witnesses, during the paranormal investigation, a train operated by Norfolk Southern Railroad came around the corner on the tracks, approaching the ghost hunters, who were walking along the track trestle of the bridge. The train conductors attempted to stop the train and blew the horn in warning to the people on the track. Most of the group was able to run and get off of the track to safety with the exception of the last two of the group, which were Christopher and an unidentified young woman. Witness reports state that Christopher pushed the woman out of the way to safety before being struck by the train and knocked over the side. The woman survived the fall and was taken to Iredell Memorial Hospital and then airlifted to Carolina’s Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. Her current condition is not yet available.

The location is the scene of one of the worst disasters in North Carolina railroading history, which occurred on August 27, 1891. On this date, a west bound passenger train, No. 9, was enroute from Salisbury, NC to Asheville, NC , when it derailed off the tracks, hurling the train almost 70 feet off of the Bostian Bridge, killing over 20 people and injuring many more. Rescuers worked for hours to remove bodies from the scene as some of the cars had submersed under water, trapping the sleeping occupants inside. The area has been reported to be haunted by the passengers from the wreck and over the years, the haunted site has become a popular area in North Carolina for ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts to visit on the anniversary of the accident.

Paranormal reports state that if you visit the Bostian Bridge on the anniversary date of August 27th, you will see the ghostly train make its arrival and experience the crash like it occurred, hearing the squeal of the brakes from the train, the sound of the crash from the bridge, the moans of the injured and reportedly, full body apparitions of some of the souls appear including the conductor from the train. The first reports of ghostly activity began on the first anniversary of the train wreck and have continued through to this day.

Haunting Energy Imprint in Rhinebeck

The Beekman Arms Inn located in Rhinebeck, New York, was established in 1766 and is recognized as the oldest operating Inn in the country. A gentile piece of history, the Inn allowed the 4th Regiment of the Continental Army to practice on its front lawn in preparation for the American Revolution. Over the years, the Inn has seen its share of action and honored guests, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Benedict Arnold, William Jennings Bryan, and Franklin Roosevelt have all slept here and all of the above have enjoyed a drink at the Inn’s Tavern, including most recently Bill Clinton.

Located in the center of the Village of Rhinebeck, the Inn is charming and inviting and as an added treat, has been updated to accommodate modern amenities. The result is pleasing and comfortable and welcoming to any traveler and the Inn continues to provide hospitality with the grace and allure of the old traditions.

During my recent journey to Rhinebeck, I stayed at the Beekman, in the Townsend House. The room was spacious, comfortable and to my surprise, included a fireplace, a writing desk, two wing back chairs and a decanter of sherry waiting to warm me from the evening air. The room also had an enormous walk in closet, so large that it included a sink, a mini fridge and enough room to store 10 to 12 suitcases or trunks.

Settling in to sleep that evening, I woke at 3:30 am to the sounds of hearing heavy boots stomping across the floor in the room. Alarmed, I sat up and turned on the light next to the bed, as I assumed that the sound was coming from my husband, who must be up and moving something around in the closet. As I turned the light on and sat up in bed, the noise stopped. Calling out to my husband, I heard a snorting next to me and turned to see that he was deeply asleep next to me in bed. Fully awake at this time, I sat up for a few minutes, thinking that I must have been dreaming and that the sound I had heard had come from a dream.

This further perplexed me, as I am a person who has been able to remember at least three dreams every night of my life since I was a young girl and I teach about dreams and dream interpretations. I wake each morning and review my dreams and categorize them into dreams that are teaching me something, dreams from the other side communicating with me, and dreams from my subconscious that help me to work out what is going on in my life. There are also dreams that mean nothing, that occur when one is not feeling well or ate something too heavy before going to bed.

As I sat in bed thinking about how I woke up, what troubled me was that I remembered the dream that I had been having, and it had nothing to do with a man stomping around and walking. That noise, had actually entered into my consciousness and interrupted my dream and woke me up, with the feeling that someone was in the room. Taking a sip of water, I looked at the clock which now read 3:45am and I resigned myself to going back to bed, as tomorrow was an early day. As I turned off the lights and prepared myself for bed, the stomping of the boots began again! This time, I knew it wasn’t a dream.

I could clearly hear the stomping of the boots and the sound was coming from the enormous closet room. Instead of turning the big light back on, I grabbed my little flashlight that I carry with me everywhere and walked into the closet room to investigate. As I entered the room, I ran straight into the full body apparition of a male ghost, dressed in 18th century period clothing and pacing back and forth across the room, his heavy boots making a loud sound on a floor, that looked nothing like the carpet there today.

As I continued to watch him, he was frantic in his movements. He would walk to the desk and look at a letter there on the desk and each time he would read it, he would become upset. In his hands, he held another letter and as he opened it and read the contents of that letter, it appeared that the information in the letter on the desk, was in complete opposition to the letter he held in his hand. This was causing him a great deal of conflict as he was uncertain as to what his final decision would be. As he paced back and forth in the room, he stopped midway, looking to his right. During that time, another presence appeared near him, a woman with brown hair and he appeared to be very fond of her. The mood changed in the room as he interacted with her and I could feel the love between them. This was the only time that his angry energy melted away as he reached out to stroke her cheek. This lasted only a brief moment and then she disappeared and he went back to the desk. From what I could discern, the decision he had to make between the letter on the desk and the one in his hand, would decide the fate of many people, including himself and his female companion and he was deeply torn as to which decision he would make.

At this point, I attempted to make contact with him, to determine whether or not he could see me and communicate, but he could not. What I was experiencing is called an “imprint haunting”. Basically in this type of haunted activity, something happens that is very emotional and stressful and the energy is so strong that it leaves an imprint behind in the space. The imprint creates an energy recording that is similar to a tape being recorded and it plays over and over, repeating the incident. LIke watching a video, you can not interact with the people on the tape, it is just an imprint of that moment that was captured and can be viewed and felt, a little piece of history captured in that moment.

Because of this, I was not able to speak with gentleman to find out his name or what the letter contained or his connection to his female companion. I was only able to observe. As a psychic and paranormal researcher with the Rowan Society, I’ve seen a wide variety of haunted and paranormal activity over the years. The ghost of Beekman Arms is a friendly sort and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Inn and hope to return there again. I’m sure that given a longer length of time to explore both the Beekman Inn and the village of Rhinebeck, I would find many more ghosts with tales to share.

A conversation at Petra with the Goddess

Welcome to Kala’s Quick Five, where I chat with fascinating authors, artists, teachers and researchers and ask them five questions about their work. My guest today is Dorothy Atalla, author of – Conversations with the Goddess: Encounter at Petra, Place of Power.

Kala: Dorothy, you experienced a personal communication with a divine feminine presence. How did these conversations begin?

Dorothy: On a cold January day in 1981 I took an afternoon break by listening to music for relaxation. While I lay on my living room carpet I floated on the waves of sound and lost sense of time. I suddenly saw with photographic clarity an image of a woman who radiated scintillating light. She was richly dressed and wore a diadem in the manner of east Indian royals persons. She turned her head and smiled in my direction. I had never had such an experience, and didn’t know who she might be. At the time I didn’t know this vision was going to be a preface to the conversations which would follow later on.

Kala: During these conversations, the topic of Petra in the country of Jordan was mentioned. Why is ancient Petra important to you?

Dorothy: The site of ancient Petra made a big impression on me. It has a wild and surreal beauty. Of all the sites I visited in Jordan, it’s the one where I felt that something remained from the presence of ancient peoples who had lived there. Also I met up with the Goddess there. I just didn’t realize it until seven years later.

Petra is important to all of us. It is presently the primary cosmic power point on earth which is initiating a new planetary cycle, a cycle of 26,000 years. As a power point Petra has ushered in a new reality. The prediction was this: in this new cycle the Divine Feminine will re-emerge and come into prominence, even in our time. Along with the re-emergence of the Divine Feminine a new birth of consciousness has been occurring, an evolutionary leap for humankind and the planet, in which humankind is shifting from an old way of thinking into a new way of thinking, from an old paradigm for living to a new paradigm for living.

Kala: You talk about being empowered through your conversations with the Goddess. How did the experience change you?

Dorothy: What was empowering about the conversations was this: I came to understand that the disempowering story which our culture has given us about our lives as females can, and will be, transcended. When our misperceptions about ourselves as females are cleared away, we can begin to see the powers which are uniquely ours.

One experience which was a shift for me was my perception of what it meant to live in a female body. I think it isn’t uncommon for us women to have a conflicted view of our bodies. I was born into a culture which didn’t see the human body as spiritual, especially the female body. Spirit was a different entity, separate from body, and more important than body. Woman’s body processes were considered to be only biological processes.

The information about women’s natural transformational mysteries which came up in conversation with the Presence changed that. Why ? Because for the first time in my life I learned that the female body has spiritual power. This information presented a different paradigm for how I thought about myself in relation to my body.

In fact, a substantial part of my book is devoted to dialogues about the natural transformational mysteries of woman’s body and psyche, about how they are inextricably intertwined. Especially important is the part of the dialogue which speaks of how our female bodies’ transformations are fundamentally inseparable from our spiritual development. This counteracted what I had learned at a very early age, i.e. that my body was separate from, and even inferior to my mind and spirit. This split in perception came from the cultural mythology in which I grew up.

Catholic theologian Rosemary Ruether said that there exists in our cultural mythology a fundamental dualism in which woman, body, instinct, and nature are equated with the earthly finite aspects of existence. The other half of this equation is man, mind, spirit, and culture. The pole of man/mind/spirit/culture has been perceived as the more important — and also the dominant — pole. Ruether calls this hierarchical dualism.

Kala: What do you believe that the feminine presence is bringing to humanity at this time?

Dorothy: She is bringing her love for all living things. She is bringing in her power, the power of the Divine Feminine, in a way that we have only now begun to explore. To humanity she offers the possibility of co-creation with her, to design an entirely new way of living together.

What she is bringing through my book, Conversations with the Goddess: Encounter at Petra, Place of Power, is a glimpse into ancient peoples’ reverence for the Goddess. She is also bringing a correction of distortions in perception which accumulated around her over many centuries. Her purpose is to clear away whatever stands between her and humanity right now, so that we will have a closer connection with her than we have had.

Kala: Many patriarchal religions have eliminated the Goddess from their belief systems. Do you feel that there will be a return to understanding and embracing the Goddess?

Dorothy: Since I first saw the Great Goddess in 1981 there has been a rising tide of interest in the Divine Feminine. Many books about the Goddess have come out since then. In addition, there is now much information on, and discussion about, the re-emergence of the Divine Feminine and the Goddess on the Internet. For example, there are three sites I know of which have attracted thousands of women. These sites offer programs for women to develop leadership and collaboration that is in alignment with their feminine power: Feminine PowerInspiring Women Summit and BraveHeart Women and there are probably other such virtual gatherings of which I haven’t yet heard.

Also, there is a greater sense of urgency in the air about the welfare of the planet, who is our mother. We have begun to recognize that we must create a new way of life that benefits all life on earth. Life becomes unsustainable unless we change our ways. I prefer to believe that we will return to understanding and embracing the Goddess, although outer signs seem to say otherwise. In crisis lies opportunity.

Kala: Dorothy, thank you for joining me here on Kala’s Quick Five. More about Dorothy and her book can be found at her website: www.conversationswiththegoddess.net

Psychic Octopus Paul Predicts World Cup Winners

An octopus named Paul (hatched in Dorset, England in 2008) has accurately predicted the winner of each game during the World Cup. Paul, who now lives at the Sea Life Center in Oberhausen, Germany, makes his prediction using his nine brains, three hearts and soothsaying ability, and now stands with an impressive record of 6-0.

To determine each winner, he chooses between two boxes which one he will open first and then eat the mussels from inside. Each individual box has the national flag representing the teams playing, the one that Paul pulls the mussels from first, is declared his pick for the winner. To date, Paul has been 100% accurate in his choices.

Dubbed the ‘eight-legged oracle’, he shocked his home country by predicting Spain to win over Germany, which has led to him receiving death threats. The response in Spain was more positive with Spain’s Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero quoted as saying that he wished to send a protective team to watch over the octopus. In addition, according to the Washington Post, celebrity chef Jose’ Andres has removed octopus from the menu of all of his U.S. restaurants in honor and appreciation of Paul.

Octopuses have a very low life expectancy, some only live up to six months and others to five years. They are recognized as one of the most intelligent animals in the ocean, with research showing that they exhibit both short and long term memory. They are known as incredible escape artists and frequently break free from their aquariums to move into other tanks. Some reports claim that they have boarded ships and open holds in search of crabs.

Super powered human beings

In this column ‘Ask Kala’, intuitive and ancient wisdom teacher Kala Ambrose, invites you to email your probing metaphysical, esoteric and paranormal questions. Due to the volume of email she receives, she won’t be able to answer back individual e-mails. Instead, she’ll choose interesting questions and answer them here on the Examiner. This week’s question is from Dana.

Hi Kala,

My name is Dana and I live in Sonoma, California. My husband is convinced that I throw off energy fields that affect electronics and I am beginning to believe he’s right. I find if I’m particularly stressed with work, I will have computer issues. Today I was turning on the TV for my son and our DVR in our bedroom went dead. We went into his room and the same thing happened. When I walked out of the room it rebooted. I came back in and sat down and it went dead. I left and it rebooted! Also since childhood I have had dreams that come true. Most often they are about something bad or negative that is going to happen, almost a warning. Am I losing my mind or is there some kind of negative energy I’m emitting?

Thanks for reading this, Dana

Hi Dana,

Thanks for writing. You ask, Could your energy affect the electronics in your home? The shortest answer is Yes, it can. Your husband appears to be very perceptive in noticing the correlations between the events and your energy field.

As a psychic, I see the aura around people, which is a flexible field of energy around the body with many layers. The level closest to your body, is described as the etheric body and in a sense, it’s the battery of the body, receiving and emiting electrical impulses in and out from your body. You bring energy in and you release energy, all through the auric body. There are many layers extending outward from the etheric body including the mental layer and the emotional layer, both of which are also energy fields where we store and emit energy and we bring this energy into and down into the physical body from these layers.

With our hectic lifestyles and fast paced life, we often aren’t able to release pent up energy from inside of us and it builds up until in a sense, it erupts outward to release.  For some people, they release this in bursts of anger, others cry when the energy builds up to a certain level, and some people release it with a nervous energy (examples include: hair twirling, fidgety hands, and rocking the legs while sitting). For some people, who also tend to be more connected with the spiritual planes, they release this pent up energy in a wave, I refer to it as an energy blast, which can affect the environment around them.  One way that these people begin to notice this effect, is that they will find when walking or driving by street lights, that the lights will go off or turn on when they pass by. If this has happened to you, you are releasing energy.

In your case, were you and I meeting in the physical, I could read your aura which would tell me about the energy around you and what has been building up inside and what layers are holding the energy build up– in the mental, emotional, physical or higher levels.  Let me also say, that just because energy is building up, it doesn’t mean that it is necessarily negative by the way.  I build up energy all the time to use for creative endeavors in my work and this energy creates great waves that allow me to accomplish a lot at the same time. This energy is a gift and used wisely, can be extremely helpful. It typically requires some instruction though, to learn how to build and cultivate this energy, which is what I teach as as an esoteric wisdom teacher and describe in chapter four of my book 9 Life Altering Lessons –  ‘We are a sea of energy, floating in vibratory fields’.

The current over-abundance of energy that you are emitting, can affect lights and other electronics when released in a quick blast. Think of it as an energy surge.  Typically this indicates that you are not aware of the energy you are releasing and so it comes as a surprise when an electronic device is affected.  For many people, they emit this energy the strongest when they are agitated, stressed or in a high emotional state (positive or negative). The next time this happens, stop right away and ask yourself, how am I feeling, what’s on my mind right now? Also ask your husband what he has noticed each time it happens. Gather this information and you will be able to discern what the triggers are that set off your energy spikes.  You mention that you have noticed that it occurs when you very stressed. The next time that you find the stress building in you while working, take a moment to step away and take a few deep breaths, pulling clear, cool air into your body, down into your lungs and hold it there for a moment. Then release the air fully through your mouth and visualize the stress leaving your body through the air you are expelling. Do this three times and notice how different you feel after just doing this for a minute. It won’t take away the work you have at hand, but physically, you will feel more relaxed and able to tackle the project at hand without the stress building up as high in your body and in your energy fields.

The good news is, you’re a highly intuitive being, who is connecting through the many energetic levels in your auric body. This means you have a healthy working aura and if you choose, you can learn more about how to harness this energy and use it in a creative and loving way. I’m currently writing a book about the aura and energy fields and the effect of these fields on each person. Over the past decade, I have seen the energy fields expanding and I believe we will begin to see greater activity within these fields, which some describe currently as paranormal activity. In the future as we evolve as a species, more of these unsolved mysteries will be commonplace and considered to be a natural sixth sense, rather than a supernatural one.

For  more information, I recently wrote about a similar topic in Ask Kala about- Eruptions in the aura and energy fields. *****************************************************************************************************************
