Listen to our broadcast: We've A Mental Health Crisis -- and A Mental Health Solution 

Especially when it takes you a good thirty years plus! 

Why bother you ask?

But oh the joy! 

And, oh the relief!

I can still see Taylor now, sitting on the floor with me, in the small room of my office in Rockville, Maryland just outside of Washington, metaphorically, emotionally and physically backing herself into the far corner as she sat on a small bean bag chair, diagonally across me.

I sat on one too.

The year was 1990. In one way or another she would continue the pattern until .....

This was the room of my office generally used for emotional releasing. TA (Transactional Analysis) and Gestalt therapy trained and certified, as I was, a space like this one was common.

Visiting the home of a colleague in Geneva, Switzerland, years ago, I'd found a similar one there! Yet, almost to the end, nothing I had ever done successfully altered Taylor's core anguish and with it, constant suicide as an option.

It was 1990 when Taylor first came to me for crisis HELP then and there!.

It has taken until now, more than thirty years!! and a great deal of upheaval, including the pandemic, for her to be "almost" crisis-free. 

But now we've done it!! Solid!!

How did we do it, you might ask, even yearning yourself for what she and we have accomplished.

A clue: Creating and sustaining our "small zone of peace" is central. Truthfulness and accountability core principles. Our way is systemic, possible humans doing our best to be our best and pass it on. You can learn and have it too.

Watch the three interrelated blog sites I write. Read through the combination of articles for all three.

There's treasure in "them words." Find them and use them.

Twenty-Three Years Ago (1998), Labor Day Week-end, I Went Blind

From 1998 -- 2006 is the period I call my "Blind Times."

Today, after twenty-three years, I feel as near complete in my having survived the ordeal, as I might ever be. And, In this next cycle -- and -- likely my last -- I hope to bring myself to full healing from the ordeal, meaning turning the lead of it to gold

Above all being blind made a shaman of me, one who sees beyond the ordinary and spontaneously travels back and forth from earth plane to the heavens. I do this regularly now, day in and day out, among my other tricks of consciousness. 

But one thing I've yet to do with this tale is tell about it.

I don't yet even know how to put words to what eight years of legal blindness was like for me (not black blind  -- thank goodness). Alone, almost the entire time, with only my dogs! For close to eight years.

One thing, I do know, however, is that working with my writing team on my forthcoming Camelot Disrupted: Book One -- Lost Hope Regained, seems to be bringing the tale closer to the surface -- so maybe? Just maybe, I might begin to speak on it.

If I do, look for segments to be posted as a continuation of this post.

More to come.

"I Was Afraid She Was Going To Kill Herself": Anastasia Commenting On Tonya

A Black Bear Mountain Village Success Story

Listen to our broadcast: We've A Mental Health Crisis -- and A Mental Health Solution

Updated: Saturday, September 4, 2021 (Scroll down.)

Of course, these two blog posts: “Original Elite” — Mss Study Group Class Part One -- Culminates With Life Saving Success! -- and -- NH ZOP 2020 Volunteer of The Year Selected! offer only a hint at a backstory I wondered I’d ever be able to recount.

Then, circumstances arose – a tale for another time – over the past few weeks that, first and quite upsettingly, showed me: “Our Taylor” must certainly graduate from the Mss Study Group – Class – immediately! 

In her best interest and mine and ours! 

Next, all of a sudden, feelings then arose in me. They came, almost as if by magic into me, and I began finding words to start the telling.

More on the way!

Saturday, September 4, 2021

Yesterday our Mss Study Group -- Class, the "Elite" version, culminated, after 19!!, mostly pandemic months -- and my/our girl -- Taylor was officially graduated (ceremony arrangements pending)!!

Endings and beginnings!

For me, personally, today I am officially proclaiming for myself, a weekend of ASCENDING in everyway possible that will bring me joy!

This weekend marks, for me, the TWENTY-THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY I WENT BLING -- no less on my way to record a two-part radio interview on Bill Clinton's dark side lying about Monica Lewinsky.

Endings and beginnings! 

I'm going to write my way through this Labor Day weekend, ascending, transforming!

RESURRECECTION!! I worked really hard for this.

More Anastasia The Storyteller tales on the way.

Under Construction

I can barely sort myself out in the mornings. Let alone make it through a day without feeling jumbled up inside on the best of days.

But this I know:

For those of us alive and healthy still, to not reach out to our neighbors, beyond our separateness, though it be masked and socially distanced is a travesty against what is best of humanity. 

Why settle for distance beyond the safe distance? 

Why keep ourselves apart when evidence, such as the aftermath of 9/11, shows us we are stronger together.

What goes on in our towns and cities fighting, being violent and not coming together to fight our mass killer, covid-19, in united ways that helps us all, is beyond belief.

And the role the GOP is playing in all this is pure evil!!

Throughout the pandemic, my NH ZOP Board Members and myself have been aware that a blessing came our way through our Mss Study and our Pandemic Survivors Support Groups, both totally unexpectedly and both thriving, now in their second year. They have, most surprisingly, set us on a path of preparing our organization and ourselves to fight the blight on Democracy the pandemic crises has brought us, initially and disastrously under Donald Trump .

We are readying now for action!  We hope and PRAY you'll join our team, as we prepare to offer whatever we can.

My forthcoming book, Camelot Disrupted, Book One - Long Hope Regained (working title --due out -- 2022) will help paint the vision we are carrying, heralded in, in fantasy/historical fiction. This is the time is now for my prophecy to manifest! 

My forthcoming book will lay out my/our premises. We are already envisioning the inspiration it will bring. Nonetheless, only our citizens working together can make it real.

Please join me/us!

I often speak our missions mantra in a philosophy I grew up having modeled for me, day in and day out, by my Dad and Mom (stepmom), a Holocaust survivor.

Tikkun atzmi -- Repair of Self. Tikkun olanm -- Repair of the world.

The two themes work together. These are our duty. 

Let's get on it! Let us work together to carry them out.

Anastasia's Return Of The Goddess' Prophecy Project...

is on the way! One of the many pathways in to Anastasia's "adventure of a lifetime" -- a major life trip out of darkness (in you and around you) into the Light.

But How Did I -- and -- We Get Here I Ask, Feeling As If I Am Living A Miracle

 Q. How can that be? Especially in this time of great desperation?

Here's one answer I'm trying on, How Did We Get Here?

Short version: With help from my friends.

Whoopee! 

So much has happened these past months since Covid-19 became a fact of our lives. Not all of it awful.

On the positive side and a personal level, even more so since that fateful day, Saturday, October 10th, when NH/ZOP Board Member, Sue deVeer, informed me she had arranged a $50,000 pledge for our organization from an anonymous donor, intended to be matched many fold over, to be gifted to the NH/ZOP Publishing Fund!

OMG!!

 

I'm the only publishing person around here, meaning NOW I get to use my time quarantining creatively, happily, as long as I'm healthy, having the opportunity, sooner rather than later, to bring my G-d given gifts, as expressed in my writings – out into the greater world!  

OMG!!

I always knew it was coming,= from somewhere but not from where or when. Isn't that amazing!  

I call it faith, faith in oneself and faith in a higher order.

OMG!! Was that Saturday ever to start in motion HUGE HAPPENINGS for ME and New Horizons/Small “Zones of Peace.

One of the biggest so far is that for the first time ever I am going to try my hand at writing fiction, fantasy/historical fiction. And, you all, my loyal followers are just gonna love it!

Here are a few details with more to come soon.

Working Title: Book I, ……. tba of intended four part fantasy/historical fiction series, titled Lost Hope Regained.

Main Character: ME!! A fictionalized alter ego, representing ME to be named ……tba. who in the course of the series becomes an adventure hero, a total Goddess with healing powers.

What did you expect??

One of the key themes: Anastasia’s alter ego's journey to live out the directive of her “Prophecy.”

How’s that for starters? 

Fun looking from my end. First time I'll be writing a book, intending to have fun with it. 

Having the great team being put together for me by Kevin Anderson & Associates to provide me with optimum talent and support is key to the fun I'm counting on. 

Stay posted and help NH/ZOP and myself carry this project to the finish line.

We are TOTALLY going to need your help!

Now be thankful! I sure am, even in the midst of all the tragedy.

Happy Thanksgiving from me, Anastasia, and the NH?ZOP Board of Directors

It’s only the beginning! Look for details.
