The
week before Easter was filled with great activity for me. For starters I was asked to judge (midweek)
the St. Patrick’s School’s (in Carlsbad) annual speech contest! This is always a joy to listen to what and
how youngsters think today and a great opportunity to give back to my
community. Annette Latasa does a
fabulous job of organizing and running this annual event. Parents and teachers should be very proud of
the work she does.
This
year 16 students, both sexes, competed from grades 2 through 8. Their topic was “What Person Has Influenced
My Life the Most?” The answers were as
varied as the participants, ranging from Stephen Hawkins, to Supreme Court Judge
Sonia Sotomayor, to the survivors of the Andes plane wreck. The winners
were: lst place Megan Wagner (5th
grade), 2nd place Bailey Moncrief (8th grade) and 3rd
place Ben Nash (6th grade). We judges found the winners to be just a point
or two apart. That’s how good the
students were.
On
Saturday, I attended a free seminar on “Genealogy” given by the local Mormon
Church at their Library. It was most
interesting even though it was for beginners because it renewed my interest in
this subject. I learned new ways to
research my ancestors and feel encouraged to pick up where I left off several
years ago. Also, the teacher, David
Paskatt gave an excellent slide presentation and had great handouts/resources.
On
Sunday I attended the bi-annual Holistic Fair in Carlsbad. I received complementary tickets to this
event and passed them on to several friends, saving them the $10 admission fee
per person. This time there were no
books to buy and overall the Fair was somewhat smaller than in past years. I had 3 people tell me I am clairvoyant and
should look into those talents. One was
Wynn Free, author of “The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce”
which I’ve read. He invited me back to his booth and gave me some information
to contact him because he said he liked my energy.
The
highlight of this Holistic Fair for me was the psychic reading I had with
Darshini. I’ve known this lady for many years but she’s
always so busy after she delivers her mini-seminars that I never can get close
to an appointment with her. She also
told me I am clairvoyant but have shoved these skills under the carpet since
childhood. I asked her was I a triplet
at birth, even though I always say I am a twin?
She confirmed that I was indeed a triplet at birth and a little girl
died. My brother was born first at 12;30
am and I was born at 1:30 am, so there is an hour’s time difference… The rest of the reading was also very
exciting and I can’t wait to see what manifests in the future.
Folks,
that was the week that was and it’s been hectic ever since. Stay tuned!
