Animals in Distress
One of the little known but significant stories coming from the massive hurricanes in 2005 is about the animals who were left behind. I have been haunted with images of the thousands of sad creatures being warehoused months later in shelters across the southern US. My heart aches when I open the letters from owners still searching for their babies. Sadly, the shelters were so unexpectedly overwhelmed with animals needing help that there are no resources to organize a registration system to help pets and thier owners find each other again. If, as we predict, 2006 brings another round of Category 4 and 5 storms, the problem will become even more urgent.
Please can you help? I have been trying through the various websites to locate the whereabouts of Princess (White Maltese) and Tobias (Male fawn shih tzu with spaniel ears) which survived Hirricane Katrina only to have to be left behind by their owners. These dogs have now disappeared without trace and I would like to know (for their owners' sakes) whether these poor babies died or maybe if we could pinpoint their current location. As you can imagine, neither of these ladies have been left with any funds and I am asking for this as a special favor. Can this be done free of charge? Many thanks Goid Bless. Ursula
Says, Laura, our animal communications specialist: "The whole way that people and their pets were treated during the hurricane should never be repeated! However, There is nothing you or I can do at this point in the game. The best thing that you and your friends can do is to release their pets on the subtle level so that the animals can have a second chance for a good life, where ever they are. The hurricanes sure taught everyone a lot. There is still devastation everywhere down south." Love, Laura
Get involved - look up your local shelters, offer to help in whatever ways you can, even if it is simply publishing a list of animals being housed at a particular shelter.. help these loving animals find new homes if they can't be reconnected with their old ones!
And if you are forced to evacuate your home, PLEASE, take yoru pets with you. If you have cats, bring along a bag of clean litter - as long as you have a plastic bag and even an old shoe box, you can get along wherever you are..... together, you have a chance of staying together, but if you leave them behind, well.... as so many heartbroken owners in the south last year discovered, unless you are very lucky, you might as well kiss them good bye for good when you leave. This is such a sad story... please do what you can to help:

Weather Around the World
We have been concerned about earth changes in our annual predictions for the past few years... and as a result, our clients have been submitting reports from around the world about the strange conditins they have experienced:
Since 2006-06-14, there has been exceptional amount seismic activity in the Aleutian Islands , and according to the ‘Alaska Earthquake Information Centre', 2006-06-15, WWW.aeic.alaska.edu/ , the northern section of the Pacific Tectonic Plate appears to be rotating clockwise. Also, the ‘Scripps Institution of Oceanography' at <WWW.sio.ucsd.edu/> reported an increase in geologic pressure on the San Andreas Fault and may soon be the cause an earthquake of Mag. 8 in California .
Crisis point will soon be reached when the Polar Regions are subjected to unprecedented seismological movement, and subsequently, these upheavals will dislodge the ice-sheets and glaciers enmasse. ( Nb. The ice-sheets which impede the flow of the ice mass from landmasses have been badly eroded in past ten years by an increase in atmospheric and ocean temperatures as a result of ‘Global Warming'.) As a consequence of this substantial loss of mass, the weight distribution of the Earth's surface will become destabilized, and so result in an abrupt ‘Crust Displacement or Axis Change' of magnitude 12 ; and settle only when the crustal weight distribution attains equilibrium.
My warning given on this matter - June 17, 2006 - has been responded to by the offices of PM's John Howard and Tony Blair and Vice-President Dick Cheney. The best thing you can do now is prepare the world for the worst !

Aloha Danielle, just another odd thing here. The weather pattern we are experincing in Hawaii seems to be unprecidented. There has been a very strong low pressure system that is nearly stationary up to our north spinning in a countner-clockwise rotation pulling up moist air from the south and inundating the islands for about a month now.We normally have a trade wind pattern coming in from the east and southern direction storms are far and in between.As far as anyone can remember this is the first time in memory we have ever had a weather pattern like this. The effects on us has been very dramatic with lots of flooding and a 100 year old dam even bursting killing (7) people. Hotels flooded etc... Very very odd.... Just passing info your way. Aloha Mike Koerte Kekaha, HI.
Hello, I am writing to let you know that our weather here in the state of Montana has changed dramatically. Our winters have been very mild for the last few years. We have had very little snow, and more rain, very windy days and eves quite often and much warmer winters. Shorter winters and falls, and milder summers with lots of rain. Very short springs, with all seasons occurring too early or too late. Chris F.

*A MINUTE FOR PEACE *
After listening with growing concern to news reports relating to the increasing tension between the United States and Iran regarding the latter's intent to develop nuclear capability, we decided to meditate and communicate with our Guides to ask if there is anything we can do to help facilitate a peaceful resolution to this matter.
Naturally, they care about peace on this planet as much as we do. We received the suggestion of a "minute for peace" whereby spiritual groups and individuals could sit and ask for guidance for all World Leaders to be helped to resolve contentious issues without the need to resort to force. This would not just apply to the immediate issue mentioned above but all over the world where there is unrest and conflict.
The suggestion is that, in a similar manner to the 'healing minute' already observed by many, a minute should be set aside once a week to focus our energies on this matter. It was suggested that 8pm on Sunday evenings would be a good time to do this. It is not necessary for people to come together as a group specifically to do this; it can be done just as well in our own homes. The important thing is that we do it.
We have already begun to do this and hope that as many of you as possible will join us.
Yours very sincerely,
Tom & Ann
