2008 Year Forecast (recorded 1/1/08)
Below is the original transcript of the forecast I did on 1/1/08 - this year I will again do this on 1/4/09 for 2009. I am posting this in retrospect on my web site because I wanted to verify accuracy, which a high percentage is accurate. As you can see some of it has already come true and some of it has not or will not. I am disclosing this complete transcript for the sake of openness and honesty. No one is completely accurate all the time but because my accuracy is high I have decided to continue doing this.
Predicting or channeling the future helps us as guidance to better our lives and the lives around us. A dire prediction that comes true means that the warning failed in its underlying purpose - and that is to help.
As a spiritual healer I believe profoundly in the power of spirit to help us make changes so that we can heal individually and as a world.

On January 1, 2008 I did a 2008 Forecast - going into a deep meditation and connecting to my spiritual guides to help me.
I am sharing it with you all in order to share with you the messages I receive so we can make change where needed in our lives, in our country and on our planet.
In preparation for this forecast I spent time in meditation, did not read newspapers and did not watch news programs for several days The forecast was recorded in front of about six people, some I knew and some I did not. I attempt to transcribe it verbatim with little editorial content or interpretation in order to retain the initial meaning. There is some repetition and it is not in the exact order as I took it out of the exact order to categorize for easier read. Some of it I had difficulty expanding upon and may return to it at a later date or when the event feels like it is unfolding.
Since a negative prediction coming true is at times a missed chance to make change, I believe that these predictions primarily serve to help us look at trends so we can effect change as best as we can on whatever level we can. I believe this shows the areas of our world that need attention..
United States:
Chicago near the water fire or explosion dont know the cause.
It is a time of new beginnings and the housing market is going to go through a real fall but those who are smart will be able to pick it up. But, it will be different - it will be redefined. Many of us will redefine what we really value in life. We may have to play it closer to the vest meaning money will be much tighter. There does feel like something with the coastline is coming, dont know if it is a hurricane, feels very strong not in New Orleans, other side, east coast. We are going to experience some food shortages, many of us will not notice it, but it will affect certain areas.
Those who are inventive will do well so if you are coming up with new gadgets, eco, health, body work people who come up with those kind of things will do well in the economy. The economy is shifting. Those who cling to this is how it is are going to have problems. Something in May with Wall Street up and down and up and down, extreme. There will be some necessary economic changes. They, meaning government, is going to bolster the economy by September, something major. Now they are playing with it a little bit but will do much more to bolster the economy. Those who are inventive and creative, technology, that will be what will get us back on track.
The water supply is going to become a very serious issue. Negative things rats some sort of awful growth to the rat population. The cleanliness of our sewers and the purity of our water will become serious across the country thus creating these greater populations. There is a cover up regarding this. The natural environment is being disrupted to the extent that the rat population will become quite a concern. (At this point one of the participants verified this channeling by relaying a news story of a new mutation of a rat the size of a cat. The hostess' cat came up to me then and I reassured it it was safe - good chuckle)
The good side is that those who are creative who are fostering eco-solutions will find themselves in real need and thus creating real business.
If our attention keeps focused on the superfluous news we will not be able to effect change.
Someone who committed a crime, very evil i.e., serial killer, who the FBI have been looking for a long time will be caught this year.
New inventions with environment and changes with schools. There are going to be changes in our school systems. They are going to change schedules and hours for a lot of schools all over the country. .
West Coast:
Lot of fires and not a tidal wave, but something with the water moving in they will be losing their beaches. An erosion of the coastline by water from above and the ocean. A factor of global warming. Global warming is accelerating. I see also a violence there for food or water but it grows.
International:
The war in Iraq will decrease minimal involvement - but it will go into more covert operations. We (as public) will not know everything that is going on. Osama Bin Laden will be killed but not by us, there will be an irony regarding that. Dont know when.
There will be a lot of changes for good though a lot of grassroot movements to help heal the planet and there will be more things done on that level. Many people will be more health conscious and then be doing more things to help the water and the air.
Pakistan cover up by their government for their slain leader.
Something will be wrong with the Pope, something is coming with his health/accident going to effect people in many countries.
We will see a lot more cooperation between governments, groups of people in this country and abroad. Everyone is beginning to realize how connected we are a more universal idea for many, many groups with the lone exception of China. They are stubbornly holding out, causing problems with policies, not war. China will suffer from within, a caving from within. There is something we dont really know about their economy and disease will be rampant there. It is like they are imploding from within, yet they will still be a strong presence we have to contend with, particularly military, although not war.
Some things will change we will have more peace in the world. But I think we are still going to be a military force in the world. Despite the fact even though I am a person of peace I get that there are things going to be happenings in India, Cambodia and Vietnam. Incidents will occur in these countries that will force us to continue to be a strong presence.
Elections:
Feel it is a man, someone who has not been a frontrunner, not the leader of the pack. There is something about John Edwards. He is not my personal favorite but there is something about him that makes me think like a light around him that it will either be him or he will be a true force for change in our country. Once in office, our president there will be like a Watergate type of shock when the person gets into office, they are going to uncover much of what has been secretly going on. They are going to reveal some of it, but not all of it, because they are/were participants in the senate and congress.
Local/Downtown Cleveland:
They will clean up Euclid Avenue, they are going to be able to draw business into Cleveland. It is almost like as soon as they begin to turn around they mess it up. Med Mart will go through. More business downtown but they may sell the store to get the butter (not good analogy) give away the store such as tax abatements. They need to get their hands on the money more. They may not make the wisest choices. It will be an upswing but at some point people will be asking why didnt you get more money and more money for the schools. They will draw more business.
Kucinich will lose the next election. I personally like him but I see a struggle for him.
Sewer problems in Cleveland, cleaning air and toxins. Not as bad as other places. It is amazing to me that Cleveland is going to end up as one of the better places to live in the country and it could be because of the water. Other places in the country are really going to be struggling more. There will be some kind of oriental/Japanese possibly company that will be coming into this area and help to expand jobs.
