A candid conversation about  jinxes, curses and hexes. Is there a downside?

I've been drawn to dive deep into the realm of curses, hexes, jinxes, and even some angry fist shaking after a road rage incident. These acts, some large, some tiny, come with ramifications. I explore what they are, if they can be used without repercussions, how to know if you are hexed, and give some alternatives to hexes for your kind consideration.

In celebration of Opening Day of Major League Baseball 2024, I recorded an episode in the middle of Denver's National Ballpark Museum with intern, Rebecca D'Arcey to share the story of the OTHER Jackie.

We all know #42, Jackie Robinson, as well we should. But have you ever heard of the seventeen year old Jackie Mitchell? She struck out BOTH Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.  Like Jackie Robinson, baseball wasn't the only sport she excelled in. And they have other things in common, too.

Come along with me into the doors of the National Ballpark Museum where each artifact holds a must-not-be-missed-story, and dwell in the sport of baseball. It is a magical activity that brings us together, erases differences and unites us in the anticipation of what the next wind up and crack of the bat may bring.

The angel Jophiel communicates with me through bursts of red-hot anger. She said we can work out a better way to talk to one another, but she's been using this method for years. Years! Yes, she's been working with me for my entire life, but I only learned her name two weeks ago.

She is in charge of the cherubim, and is said to have witnessed the moment Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden. (I have thoughts about this!) She believes that Free Will reigns supreme, and reminds us to not give energy to people that do not, nor will EVER, be our supporters. Hell! They will never like us, no matter how hard we try. Just stop giving away your energy to them, she says.

I also share a magical four-hike day I had recently and how the cherubim were there with me for every step.

A few weeks back I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, the Higher Side Chat. This particular episode centered around dreams, one of my lifelong favorite topics, and the guest is my honored guest today. His name is Daniel Rekshan and if you read his resume on INDEED, you might overlook half of his genius, at least. With a bachelors' from St. John's, a Master's in East-West Psych from California Institute of Integral Studies, he's a certified hypnotherapist, but then things get truly interesting. He is an artist. He has a certificate in quantum healing, is chief dream officer of DreamWell and finally, he is deeply involved with DSETI. (Dream Study/Search for ET Intelligence)

I'm grateful to have him on the show today.

This week, I fell into the topic after spotting so many strings of ones and twos, that I took notice. Still not knowing what message I was being sent by my angels and guides, I started obsessively looking at and tracking the Moon. And then, still not getting the message, I opened my Angels and Awakenings workbook, then skipped ahead because I wasn't feeling the Seraphim vibe (which was techinically supposed to be my next lesson). That section? It was on Archangel Haniel. And she is fantastic. The first time I did this workbook, I breezed over her section, not feeling a connection. 

Well, it's a good thing I am doing the study again, because it's hitting me in different ways, and one of those is Archangel Haniel. Hitting me right in the heart.

Let's get into it.

Do we all have the divine within? Are we different bandwidths of a great God radio? All major religions tell us that God is as close as our DNA strand. We are made in their image. We are God's hands and feet. What questions are scientists still trying to answer about the voids within each cell of our being? And what does that struggle tell us about the God within?

Clutch those rosary beads, feel into your inner light body, and dive into the deep end of empowerment as I explore the God Within.

Let's get into it. Oh, wait. First, turn on those listening ears and tune into your emotions. What does this make you feel? On the soul level?

This one is not for younger ears, and is not for the sensitive. This episode deals with a true and brutal crime perpetrated on my friend 30 years ago.

I promise to tell it with love and compassion, to breeze (mostly) over the dirtbag that committed the crime, and share more about the woman he took from the prime of her life. (God, I hate that saying)

If you're listening to this on Friday, then exactly 30 years ago almost to the hour, my friend Sissy was saying goodbye to me for the last time.

I'd never see her alive again.

Every Presidents' weekend I think of Sissy and send prayers to the daughter that survived. 

Arlene "Sissy" Brown will never be the subject of a 48 Hours or Dateline or 20/20. In fact, she was mostly forgotten in the Seattle-area media a few months after her murder. 

This episode isn't about that crime. Well, it is a bit, but the true point of the episode is to share about the friend and coworker I miss, the spunky, smart and driven single mother I remember.

I was doing my morning minutes a few weeks ago and also thinking about AI. I'd brought up AI with members of my podcast network at a meeting and many expressed fear, and their ongoing attempt to keep a distance from this technology.

It got me thinking about AI, and how it is being shaped, more specifically WHO is shaping it. If people like me, that lean more into crystals and astrology than, say, an accounting ledger shy away from interacting with AI chatbots, well, that means other more innovative, science-based people are doing the bulk of shaping AI, right? Well, that feels imbalanced, a recipe for disaster. And it led me to do an experiment. Oh, and spoiler? An AI chatbot helped me create this very special episode of Curious Cat!

Let's get into it!

There's a special message at the 32:00 mark (about) that came out of my pen from the Universe. If you only have time for that, it's well worth the listen. Thank you, Universe!

Here's a confession. This week, I did what you're not supposed to - at least if you don't want predictive algorithms to, well, predict better. After I finished my YouTube yoga, a suggested video was queued up, a ten minute motivational speech. I clicked 'Play' and it was phenomenal. So maybe AI knows me better than I know myself because I needed that speech, it rippled through me, so much so that I watched it a second time, then a third and took notes.

 This episode is the impact crater. Let's get into it.
