Everyone, eventually, catches up to everyone else, Lesa. Everyone.
So, may as well just enjoy yourself now.
The Universe
Today I am sitting in front of the window that overlooks a beautiful view of the city. I am waiting to have my blood work done again… those doctors have to charge for something. I did like the doctor I saw but it is the system that is screwy. Once gain, I am being a nice girl and following stupid rules.
No coffee or anything to eat. Starting the morning without a coffee is difficult for me. But I did smoke five cigarettes in a row. I have also arranged to have my apartment painted and have entertainment for my house warming party in my new neighbourhood that is called Rosedale!
When I was outside this morning I had a conversation with the guy, if you recall, the one sleeping peacefully on the bench the other day. I met him yesterday because I exchanged cigarettes for a goodie bag that will filled with fruit and other treats.
He is a wiry little devilish for sure. Also a musician who I am without a doubt will make it one day. His name is Bob. Another Bob, sponge Bob, Bob’s your uncle. The most unassuming name in the book.
Well I know there could be more to write about Bob but there are still so many stories to catch up on from the day before and the day before and the day before. I guess that I am only meant to write some of them because there are only so many hours in the day.
Perhaps I should hire one of my nieces or nephew to type this up. Perhaps they should be the first ones to read all these glorious things that are happening to their aunt? Now who wanted to be the secretary in my last business venture? I think it was Andrew.
So where to start once gain.
Now I have my coffee and cigarette and once again sitting at my picnic table where I meet such fascinating individuals. I know I am not meant to rehash their stories. That is their honour and not my own.
I learnt this is in a round about way yesterday. I called a physic!
I was on the internet checking my horo?scope… usually there is no horror involved, but often hope. I used to be such a cynic when it came to things like the occult but now I have been given the light and am a true believer. How our lives can be foretold in so many ways!
I feel peaceful now that I have my cigarette and coffee. What is bad is good, what is good is bad!!!
Here are the notes I wrote while talking to my physic reader, Christie. It took me a while to end up reaching her but I know God had to send me the right one.
- do not put the cart before the horse until I am balanced
- I have guides
- there are three things I need to do
- build foundation
- intimacy before bedroom – not other way around
- billions ??? (Not sure what this meant?)
- let go of the thought that I need
- approach
- I am intuitive
- I will meet someone within the next 3 months
- Fine tune my skills
- My physic abilities are real
- My dream guy will be around my age
- I need to specialize in one area of my business plan (I know it is this book. This is where is started)
- Follow my intuition
- Fashion – change – soul (?)
- I have quiet energy
- See what my energies are
- It is very important for me to be outside in nature
- I would make a good energy healer
- This is the year of my soul
- Study Reeki – it is as easy as 1-2-3
- My energies are scattered
- People are diagnosed with bi-polar because the have physic abilities
- Books to read – “Who to say” Bob Thorpe, “Eleventh Insight” and “The Secret of Shambhala” – Redfield, “Help Yourself” Helen Hitchcock
- Ask my angels for balance
- Stop blabbering. People will think you are nuts.
- Ask my angels if I am allowed
- I had imbalance as a kid
- Told her about Don Miguel Angel
- Last year 11/11 .. this year is 12/11 – frequencies are higher
- Immediate cause and effect.
- There is no going backwards
- Stop reading cards until I find my own balance.
- Focus on me. I’m not yet in balance
- I will be healed when my mind can be empty
- Lhaso Apso are good animals and have strong energy
- Diane, Janet, Carol… mirror, mirror on the wall. They are feeding off things they have experienced
- Buy rose quartz for love
- Up self-esteem and self-acceptance
- Move forward
- It will be much better now
- Find time to be away
- My guardian angel to pray to is Arch Angel Michael
- Recommends taking salt baths with baking soda
- There are still many holes to fill
- No more negativity
- No more martyrdom
- Gain self esteem
- Enjoy myself
- Study numerology
- My life path is three – trinity
- I’m very analytical
- It was a gift to talk to me
- She also has Lhaso Apso and is a Sagittarius

“The fifth level of awareness is the Avatar!
Imagine that you lived in a world where you had been raised to believe black was white and white was black (what is good is bad, what is bad is good!)
When you though you were seeing black you actually were seeing white and vice versa.”
How often I though about this as a child!
I’m feeling very calm right now. My new friend, Bob is sleeping peacefully on our picnic table. He had food poisoning yesterday from some meat he had eaten at the Scott Mission.
Once again, another day filled with wonders!
My horoscope for today read:
“A constructive influence from the reality planet Saturn suggest that you will find a way to make a practical move and fix what now seems wrong. It will allow you to confidently look ahead to a much more reliable and predictable future.”
I wonder what this all means? I have always been so curious but really curiosity never killed the cat. They have nine lives after all.
Today I will write slower and ponder more. I know some of my energies are scattered. But how it feels so good to have so much energy. To scatter a few is all right by me. And I am the one who has to live with myself.
Once I am moved in and settled will be the time for me to become serene and just happy about life. I have no doubt that this will be how I will live my life for the most part. But a good shaking once or twice does have its benefits.
Yesterday I painted a picture of a Monarch butterfly (another talisman for me) with a sun on top. I put some bling on it and I wasn’t pleased with the result until I turned it upside down and the butterfly was flying into the sun.
I will have to buy a new printer (professional – can’t wait to get it.) Also a new scanner and a really good camera. I have been buying myself some treats lately and does it feel good. I had been afraid to treat myself for so long. But now that I know there is nothing to fear but fear itself and I am going for the gusto.
I’m definitely a people person and people can sense that in me. They seem to just come up to me and blurt out the most amazing truths! It is so much fun and also at the same time I am also honoured when the story is not so fun but filled with the most horrible truths imaginable.
One such incident happened yesterday. I swore a solemn oath that this secret would never be revealed. But it is important for me to write it out … so there it goes.
I met Michael (the shy gentleman) many times yesterday. This young guy has so much exuberance and confidence now! And to think that only two days ago he could barely speak to women because he was so shy. He’s got lots of hope and plans and tells me that God keeps giving him bigger and better ones.
There is another female client here who is also very timid and shy. She has the most amazing blue eyes and a depth and intelligence about her that she does not realize. I hope she comes to realize it in herself very soon. Yet one more young woman who has been so let down by our system. Even the patient advocate bailed on her yesterday after a very lengthy wait to see her. Don’t those advocates understand what their jobs are about? The stupidity and insensitivity of some people just amazes me.
I went to the library yesterday that was open (didn’t see my petition posted anywhere) and searched for some of the books that have been recommended to me lately. Of course, they didn’t have one book I was looking for and in such a huge place. Chapters is much better… but of course our tax dollars don’t go into the books. They most likely go into the pockets of those who are choosing what they feel we should read. Thank God for the internet and all it’s information.
Would you believe, I worked with a girl whose brother was a partner with Bill Gates. He quit before he saw how the internet would change the world. I have always been so curious to know why he left and what he did with his life afterwards.
It was such a fun day yesterday. Painting, smoking (my new nickname – Smoking Lesa) going to the library and shopping at the Eaton’s Center.
When I was taking a smoke break at the library a young woman came up to me and asked if she could buy a cigarette off of me. She also asked if I was a patient at CAMH. Really, a strange question to ask I thought, unless I was sitting in front of the place in my pyjamas like I am right now.
She told me she was feeling so much anxiety about the world and also that she has had so much trauma in her life. So I counseled her (I think this is ok for me to do now? I have learnt a lot, and God is directing me.)
I told her the first thing to do that may help her would be to forgive those who caused her trauma. I told her how I had also suffered trauma but since I have seen the light, I know there is no one to blame. It is because that is what we were taught. The sins of the father ….
I also recommended some books to her that I have stumbled upon. One of these books is entitled “God’s Debris” by the guy that writes the Dilbert comic strip. I think his last name is Scott.
It was very enlightening to me.
After dinner my new friend, Chris and I went shopping at the Eaton’s Center. I do not like that place. It drains my energy. Also I was very angry that there was only one store that sold plus size women’s clothes. And I will tell you these guys are idiots, because there are a lot more PLUS women out there then anorexics. Thank God.
We came back and I told her my secret because it is her secret also after all. What are the odds of her pulling out the exact same cards in the exact same order?
We are Avatars!

An important reason we want to see your present dreams come true as quickly as possible, Lesa, is because we already know a little bit about what will likely happen just beyond them.

Hi Mom
Of course I would love it if you guys would visit ... as long as we keep it friendly and cheerful and do not talk about anything but good things. Cause lots of goods things are going on. Also a friend of mine wanted to go and Denise may join us to, so we can have a girls day if you would like. There is a great Thai restaurant ... really cheap and good.
I've decided to take a little vacation to Cancun once I leave here!! I never heard from the guy for the apartment ... not even to say that I didn't get it despite repeated calls. This is very strange. I know my credit is in good order and I would have an excellent reference from my last landlord. I was the only one who wanted it for July? Guess it wasn't meant
to be ... but it does make be wonder.
Have you trained Teepoo yet?
Love ya
Lesa

Great to Hear from you Kate!!!!!!
All is more than well even though I am in CAMH.... but this time for a very wonderful reason. I am planning on going to Mexico soon also.... I think some amazing things will happen to me there once again.
You have to let me know what you have been up to????
Hugs and Kisses
your partner
Lesa
She said I was dating all these guys. I had 1 boyfriend for 2 years .. and 1 other little fling with a young guy .... after 20 years of no sex I don't think I was being overly sexual ... she lied even ... saying that I stopped in at the LCBO on the way from Jean Tweeds and I would not except a lift from anyone. No one offered to come get me.. my niece may have if I called (they wouldn't even ask her so I decided not to bother anyone)... anyway just a few of the details but all so hurtful and my Dr. ended up saying I was bipolar .... The day before she agreed with me ... and after hearing this bullshit she says I must be bipolar why would my family be saying these things? The dr. is now away on vacation for three weeks...
Jun 29, 2007
I just met with someone very, very fond of you.
Actually, Lesa, everyone here is very, very fond of you.
Anyway, this friend said to tell you that just because most people are looking for what they think they don't have, doesn't mean they don't have it.
She also said you still look fab in black.
Weird, huh? (I mean the first part...)
The Universe
Hey Lesa!
I'm doing well. Hard to come back home at first after all the hustle and bustle of Jean Tweed. It was too quiet - all I could hear were all the mosquitoes coming after me. Hooked up with some great supports in North Bay after the first difficult week and now am getting back into work and daily life.
I read your last e-mail and it sounds like you had a really tough time with sisters and friends after Jean Tweed. You are very strong to have got through that.
Glad to hear you are at CAMH. It's good to reach out and use those supports.
So I only did get the one e-mail from you and it doesn't really say much about WOW.NOW. Maybe I missed a few e-mails from the beginning???....so you'll have to fill me in.
And Mexico!!! I'd love to hear all about that as well. Need a travel companion?
Big Hug. Talk to you again soon. Kate
Hi Kate,
I have been doing lots and lots of recruiting for WOW NOW...... So start those stories, also our mission statement. I was thinking of adding
WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL WE HAVE WON.
You're the writer extraordinaire so would love to see what you can do with this.
As soon as I am out of here and back from vacation, and settled somewhere?? a group of us will have to meet and make some plan..
I've got lots of ideas as I am sure you would guess.
Being in CAMH is a good thing because I am finally proving to my family that I'm neither bipolar nor an alcoholic. Finally nearly, just one pill now, off my meds... The next time you see me I will be skinny!!!
Would love for you to come.... but I am hoping this will be a romantic trip!!!! Though we will definitely have to plan a girl’s vacation!
Life is very w o n d e r fulllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love ya
Lesa
You bring a smile to my day Lesa.
1 question:
1. If you are hoping this is a romantic trip, who's the lucky guy/girl?
2 points:
1. You are the same beautiful person no matter what size you are.
2. "We will not stop until we have won!" is great as long as we know what it is we're fighting for. And if it needs to be approached in the mind-set of a battle or war.
If you could send me your ideas as you get them I can save them for our meeting later. If indeed you are running off on a romantic trip, you might forget them!!!
lol. Kate
Hi Kate,
You also bring me a chuckle.... Lol
Thanks for the compliments. I'm feeling just so self assured right now I don't know if I can stand myself.
Have got a little list of things that need to be changed by the system (addiction ... mental health issues .... social services .... this is the area I think fits well for all of us!)
And yes it is war. Went to see a spiritual advisor ... getting my reading on Monday and she told some very interesting things. We have God on our side ... so there is no losing this war.
The other thing I can definitely see this web site for is making us some money ... so we can't give away our stories.... also art, etc.
If I get lucky in Cancun. my mind will be mush...
Can't wait to hear all your talented inspirations.
Your partner
Lesa
xoxoxoxoxo
Okay then.
How about the idea that alcoholism is a government condoned disease. They wouldn't possibly allow there to be effective cures or recovery programs because they make too much money off the sale of alcohol (most of the price of alcohol is gov. taxes).
That there is not just a double standard but absolute hypocrisy in trying to break down barriers for those with addictions and mental health issues? As with one hand, society promotes understanding and compassion, and encourages them to enter the medical and psychiatric system for "care"; but as soon as these people do their spirit and soul is manipulated and crushed into the dirt as though they had no rights as human beings because they are addicts and/or mentally ill.
I think we all have stories of being treated with utter contempt and negligence by the very people that are supposed to be helping us.
We are contemptible because we are addicts and mentally ill.
They tell us not to despair or hate ourselves because of our "afflictions".
We don't have to - they hate us more than we could ever hate ourselves. And they make us pay for it mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually through their "treatments".
Are these the sort of ideas you have in mind, my dearest Lesa?
Kate
You got it girl!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow......
You should see the list of complaints we have here. I will send you a copy....
And this was taken from 10 to 11 p.m. with only a few people around.
We are going to change the face of the world.... and I think you know it
Love ya
Your partner
Lesa xoxoxoxoxox
Okay, hurry.
Send me a copy.
By the way if you ever run into a guy by the name of Steve Kelly in your travels at CAMH or elsewhere, we'll need him too.
Kate
Hi Kate,
Have to leave today. I am suppose to be meeting some people and they told me I look beautiful in black?
So I expect to be in Cancun tomorrow but you just never know????
I will keep you posted ...... the list can wait for now ... it is too long.... But there is a Hillary Duff at The Human Rights Commission on Dundas St. in Toronto that should be able to help us!
Steve Kelly that name is familiar.
Isn’t life just W O N D E R full
Love

Smoking Lesa
Take good care of yourself.
Remember to count to 10 before making all minor decisions and wait at least a day before agreeing to anything major that someone else has proposed.
Send me a postcard from the edge.
Kate
Hi Kate,
yes.... I should have ... looks like my plans have completely changed ... but I think??? Even for the better
all I can say is
WOW WOW WOW
Cool. So what are your plans now? Are you staying at CAMH?
Staging a military coup?
Going to join the natives on the holiday highway roadblocks?
I'm for the latter. I'll meet you there.
Kate
Hi Kate,
Well things are certainly never boring.... and a military coup is not the word for what these fuckers are going to see from us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have got lots of contacts ... lawyers ... human rights people ... and these are coming from good sources ... us crazy alcoholic druggies are the smartest people in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have so many stories from just one week that I can make a book just out of that. My new nickname is smoking Lesa ....... and I am not going to stop until we have WON
Did I mention to you they have me here on a Form 1.....? Locked all the doors.... you wouldn't believe what happened.... I am supposed to be dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well they are right on that count.
I sure could use a drink right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully I can spring this joint tomorrow... The new dr. is suppose to be ok...
And forget about what I thought may be a change of plans ............. because honestly I have no idea where this crazy journey will take me next. I am sending you a website ... interesting is not the word for it.............. dododododododdodododo

My horo scope today.
“You are overdue for some emotional payback.” (Yeah!!!!)
Someone sprayed deodorant in one of the rooms to make the room smell nice. The fire alarm went off and two fire trucks came.
We were not allowed out of the building! I was livid after waiting for hours, especially because I could not have a cigarette. All the doors leading to the outside were locked. What if it had been a real fire?
I decided to take a washable pen and write on the glass enclosures where all the stupid rules were kept. Most of my comments were quite comical, as the girls can attest to.
I especially like the one telling us how to flush the toilet. “Hold lever down”. I wrote “No shit”.
Some things I found out today.
- Eat aloe vera when sick
- Melatonin is sold in health food stores and it helps you sleep
- My family is stealing my energy
Hi Kate,
God you would not believe what is happening ... I am starting to get very frightened.
Lesa
Hang in there sweetie.
How do you feel?
I'm sure you've done your own research on manic-depressive syndrome. Do you recognize symptoms of a manic phase in yourself?
Do you understand what those around you are seeing in you that might be part of the manic part?
Talk to me. I'm here.
Kate
Hi Kate,
Yes I have done lots of research ... there are absolutely no signs, as there were no signs to begin with. ... This guy saw me for less then 15 minutes when he made this diagnosis. See what happens when they do this ... Did I seem in the least bit manic or depressed while at Jean Tweeds because my mood hadn't changed until this Form 1 and now I must admit to being very angry ... and a little depressed.
I had a horrible family meeting ... my sister (the one that we call the bitch) came in spewing all this nonsense ... like I had naked pictures strewn all over the internet. I had one art photo of myself taken by my boyfriend that was beautiful and I was considering having it framed.
She said I was dating all these guys. I had 1 boyfriend for 2 years .. and 1 other little fling with a young guy .... after 20 years of no sex I don't think I was being overly sexual ... she lied even ... saying that I stopped in at the LCBO on the way from Jean Tweeds and I would not except a lift from anyone. No one offered to come get me.. my niece may have if I called (they wouldn't even ask her so I decided not to bother anyone)... anyway just a few of the details but all so hurtful and my Dr. ended up saying I was bipolar .... The day before she agreed with me ... and after hearing this bullshit she says I must be bipolar why would my family be saying these things? The dr. is now away on vacation for three weeks...
God I am trying very hard not to cry right now. It's like they put this fucking label on you and you can never get away from it....
