I went to see a psychic for a fun reading several years ago and instead I came home feeling less than human, literally.

I went into the appointment all excited about what fun things I was going to learn about myself. It soon went from excitement to get me the hell out of here and FAST!

This lady was reputable and had given some of my friends really good readings in the past but I guess she saved all her crazy up for me. I seem to have that affect on people. I’m thinking that probably isn’t a really good thing.

I am open minded and believe that many people do have gifts. Some being authentic and come from a loving and good place; however, others are just nuts and or looking to scam people out of their money.

I don’t think the point of a reading is to scare the crap out of a person. I was legitimately scared after this reading and it turned me off for a long time. I was not going back for a repeat visit this was for sure.

The start of the reading was all good. She was pleasant and telling me the usual kinda stuff. Then she laid it all on me...

She could tell that I had an amnormally large amount of DNA strands. She genuinely seemed fascinated by me and started going on about my family and lineage and how my ancestors made a pact way back in the day with aliens. Yes, real life aliens. She even said they are green.

She went on to share that they are all around us and morph into their true form sometimes mainly when they are climaxing during sex. This was way out there for me and honestly aliens have always freaked me out. She then told me that she herself has seen this in person when she was intimate with a man once.

What! Way too much information for this lady.

Then it got better...

Apparently my mother and I are the chosen ones and since the age of around 5 have been watched and followed by the ailens. They implanted chips in our arms so that they could always find us. Isn’t that a horrifying thought.

The best part, is that they come and transport us at night when we are sleeping. Then impregnate us with their babies. Thousands of babies so far. Yes, she was dead serious. This was to create the next generation of humans. Oh good lord I was freaking by now.

I am guessing that she could tell by the look on my face that I was terrified. So she assured me that it was painless and that it was an honor. I told her that it sounded horrible! She explained that it was my contribution and my destiny.

I apparently passed on this fun little family gift to my eldest son. Lucky him! He has anxiety and she said it was because he remembers being taken when he was little.

She then encouraged me to check his bedtime sheets for dust and debris to serve as proof. I guess this was the dirt from the planet we were visiting. She also told me to look for unexplained bruises on my thighs.

Wait a minute, I thought this impregnating thing wasn’t suppose to hurt?

I quickly left after that and ran for the hills. I was bothered by this for a long time. I started to get anxious before bedtime and prayed that God would protect me. I know it sounds ridiculous but she was convincing let me tell you.

So if you plan to see a psychic, make sure to do your research and come in with little expectations so you are not too terribly disappointed.

Today we said a final farewell to our buddy Duffy. He brought our family so much joy and love. He had a gentle and sweet soul. He gave the best knuckers. This is what we called his cuddles when he would gently knead on us.

Duffy was so content always. He never demanded much of anything. He had the softest fur and the most amazing blue eyes. When he came to us in 2014, we knew very little about him. We were told his name was Salt and that his previous family could no longer care for him. They went to surrender Salt and could not afford the fee. I was known as the crazy animal lover at the office and was asked if I had room for him? I of course couldn’t say no.

He came to me in a tiny container with holes poked in it. I couldn’t believe it. I was so happy that he was coming into a better situation. He was obviously upset and thrashed around on the drive home. The minute I got him in the house and out of that stupid box he was immediately content. He got along with all of the other animals and was affectionate right away.

We all fell hard for Salt right away. How could anyone ever give him up? We felt like the lucky ones finding him. The name Salt just didn’t seem to suit his personality so the boys renamed him Duff or Duffy. It took us a few days to realize that he didn’t seem to hear anything and sure enough poor Duffy was deaf. He made the loudest noises and walked around the house exceptionally loud. His meows sounded more like a parrot. It just gave him more character and spunk but wow could he startle you.

He was ours and we were his. Duffy and I had a great last day together. He and I cuddled and I looked him in the eyes and told him how much I loved him. I thanked him for coming to us and being such a blessing. He was definitely starting to fail so I had been slowly saying my goodbyes

for months. I took Duffy out on the deck to get some sun and then he went on a little walk about. I will always remember watching him walk up the hill and thinking how beautiful he was. I think maybe somehow I knew to stop and take notice of this moment in time and I sure am glad I did. I will always have this moment of him and I will cherish it forever.

This morning I woke up and noticed right away that Duffy wasn’t on his regular spot. I checked a few other of his favorite hang out spots and still no Duff. I knew I had to check the basement but I was scared to, it was then when I got a bad vibe that something was wrong. The dogs came with me and we looked all over. I saw Charlie wagging his tail and then I saw my friend and I knew he was gone.

I was in shock even though I knew it was coming I had no idea it would come so fast. I cried and sat with him for a long time. I pet him and eventually wrapped him up in his favorite blanket. I just held him like a baby and cried.

Gord made him a lovely wooden box and we picked some flowers and laid him to rest in our garden. I smudged over him with sage and had a beautiful ceremony for Duff.

The cats all came by to say their goodbyes. He will always be with us and I will never forget him.

I know some people may not understand why I am so broken up over a cat. To love an animal is an honor and I actually feel sorry for anyone who has not experienced a love like this. He wasn’t just a cat, he was my friend and I loved him.

Love you Duffy 🐈

Rest In Peace buddy

Thanks for reading ❤️

Okay I have a dirty little secret...I love the Bachelor and Bachelorette television series. Reality television is kinda my jam. Who doesn’t want to see a love story that unfolds right before your eyes. The show is funny and ridiculous yet wildly entertaining. There is always that tiny glimmer of hope that every season will be a success. Of course it doesn’t always turn out that way and even still I keep coming back each season for more.

I have watched every single season since it was first aired back in 2002 and haven’t missed an episode in 18 years. This includes all 24 Bachelor seasons and 15 Bachelorette seasons. So that means I have watched a total of 39 seasons and still counting.

Favorite Bachelors

My top two are hands down Ben Higgins and Peter the Pilot.

Ben Higgins is just a gem of a guy. He was an authentic and sweet Bachelor. The show didn’t end up working out for him and Lauren. Their engagement ended a year and a half into their relationship. Ben just got engaged and seems incredibly happy. I hope he finds his true love because he deserves it.

Now for Peter Webber oh boy. I am still a fan but he really screwed up his Bachelor run. His mom ended up stealing the show. I just love how Barbara didn’t hold back when it came to how she felt about Madison. This was not the girl that Peter picked. He got engaged with Hannah Ann and mom was thrilled until he broke it off to pursue Madison. Momma Barbara wasn’t happy and you knew it.

Peter absolutely killed it as a contestant on the show when he was trying to win over Hannah Brown. I think she made an epic mistake not picking Peter. Peter is currently dating Kelley, one of the girls that he got rid off on his season. Talk about awkward but apparently Barbara approves so this just may work.

Worst Bachelors of all time

Alex Michel he was just the worst and was also the first ever bachelor on the show. Trista sure dodged a bullet with this one and thank goodness she went on to be the first ever Bachelorette.

Bob Guiney and Juan Pablo were both equally awful. I never found Bob to be authentic and Juan Pablo was a total creeper. The best was when Clare Crawley told him off. This is the same Clare who is this season’s Bachelorette.

Favorite Bachelorettes

My all time faves are Jillian Harris and Emily Maynard.

Jillian Harris is a fellow Canadian and I just love her and still follow her as she is a successful television host and interior designer. She has amazing taste. Her family is also incredibly adorable including her 2 boxers.

Emily Maynard is so sweet and loveable. She had been in love once before and was engaged but her fiancé suddenly died in a plane accident. Emily was pregnant at the time. Emily wanted to find not just a great husband but an amazing dad for her young daughter. She did get engaged on the show but it ended soon afterwards. Emily has now found love the regular way as she met her now husband at church. She is happily married and has two more adorable kids. Emily is not only beautiful but smart and started her own successful jewlery line.

Fantasy Suites

Why do they all sleep together on the fantasy dates? I get it we all want chemistry with our partners but sleeping with multiple people to find love seems kinda wrong. Then only a few days afterwards comes the proposal. What!? After you just slept with all of them. Do they not know that everyone is watching them including their grandparents, yikes.

Most Scandalous

Kaitlyn Bristowe couldn’t wait even for the fantasy suite when it came to Nick Vaill; however, she did wait with Shawn Booth. Kaitlyn ended up getting engaged with Shawn at the end of her season but slept with Nick. That would be incredibly awkward!

Then there was Hannah Brown and Peter. They admitted to having sex in the infamous windmill not just once but 4 times.

Bachelor to Convict

Chris Soules was the down to earth farmer who was looking for love on season 19. He has since been the most controversial Bachelor yet due to his 2017 arrest. He was charged with fleeing a deadly car accident in Iowa. He plead guilty to the charge of leaving the scene. He got 2 years of probation and had to pay fines but ended up not serving any jail time.

Love Stories

Bachelor fans love a happy ending. This is how we justify continuing to watch this show season after season. This weird and crazy process actually does work sometimes. There have been several couples who have not only made it but are still going strong.

Trista and Ryan Sutter. Trista was the first Bachelorette ever and she was just the best. She ended up picking the lovely firefighter Ryan. They got married shortly afterwards and have a couple kids now. The Sutters seem really happy and still in love.

Sean and Catherine Lowe. Sean was never one of my favourites but I loved Catherine. They seem to work and have since married. The couple have 2 beautiful kids.

Bachelor in Paradise is a spin off show and yet has some pretty impressive results. This is the show where all the past unsuccessful contestants hit the beach in Mexico for a chance to mingle and hopefully find love.

Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert found love in paradise. These two are absolutely adorable. They have 2 cute babies and one more on the way. Crazy fact, Jade delivered her last baby in her closet because there was no time as the baby came suddenly. Wow !

Carly and Evan Bass also found love in Mexico in this unconventional way. Evan was a single father to three young boys when they met on the show. He fell hard for Carly right away. She on the other hand, was not so interested in him at first. Evan eventually grew on her and they left the show in love. They are one big sweet blended family now as they also has 2 more children together.
