. . . Today is a 10 hour travel day for me (see Daily Message below from yesterday). If you have been coming to this website long enough, then you know that I really appreciate phone calls over e-mails. Since I have 10 hours to travel, feel free to take advantage of me today. My phone number is at the top of each page of this website. I want to thank all of you who sent e-mails and those who phoned to send wonderful Love and positive thoughts and prayers to my Mom and my family as she miraculously heals from her health issue. I really appreciate hearing your voices. Thank you so much. You are updated on Daily Horoscopes through this coming Sunday. Have a wonderful and laughter filled 4th of July holiday weekend.

GREETINGS FROM CHEROKEE, NORTH CAROLINA (6)
'Siyo or Osiyo [Hello in Cherokee]
Read the last Daily Message titled, Greetings from Cherokee (5)
It's been quite a whirlwind since the last time that I wrote to you on Thursday, June 24, 2009. If you have been checking this Daily Message, then you already know that I am in Cherokee, North Carolina to be with my Mom as she recovers from a health issue, which also gives my Dad a break. Folks, I'm asking you not to go to a dark place and start thinking this is a life threatening situation. Don't do that. There's a reason why I choose not to share too much information because some people will start entertaining the worst and that is simply not the type of energy that myself, my Mom or my family would want people to do. Who needs that? What my Mom needs is Love and all positive and wonderful healing thoughts. My Mom simply needs to be kept on task in order to heal and that's all anyone needs to know and support. I just happen to be the child that can keep her on task and crack the whip. (winky wink) I assure you, my Mom is doing very well and healing quite nicely. She just needs someone right there all the time and we Cherokee do not leave our Loved ones alone for one minute when they are sick, weak or vulnerable. Now that Mom is back on the healing fast track, I'm back on my website fast track getting everything back to normal.
This past weekend was really wonderful because my sister Cis came down from St. Louis. Tomorrow morning my brother Tom who lives in Champaign, Illinois will arrive and then I will leave and return to St. Louis just for 4th of July weekend. When Tom leaves after the weekend, then I will return to Cherokee with my grandson "Big Tree" so he can visit for a while. I did have a camping trip with "Big Tree" on the agenda but the last few weeks morphed our plans into something else. It's not a problem . . we simply shift gears. That's pretty much it. The Scorpion King is having his annual 4th of July party this weekend, so that should be a great time, which I'm looking forward to back in St. Louis. It's all Good folks . . . it's all Good. In the meantime, keep praying for Mom's speedy and energetic recovery.
Until then, as we say in Cherokee . . .
