I think I posted this further down.   http://www.nderf.org/     It is a database of near death experiences  and also out of body experiences.  I have been to these realms.  Quite interesting if you're at all open to it.

Along these lines, the visions that I have had go much further than I have shared.  I have traveled to such interesting places.  And as a skeptic I have to look for what I consider "the yes".  There is a feeling (a voice) that comes to confirm.  For those that know this place...you know.   I have guides that tell me things.  Some things are of an immediate nature (which always, always unfold as said), but others come from a teaching place.  I have been taught things that are beyond words.  I keep looking for the words, but somehow it defies them.  I can get some things out, but they fall so short.

One experience was being in what seemed liked the Himalayan mountains.  Shaman were there.  They told me that I had sit at a distance and I was welcomed and loved, but that I could not participate.  I simply needed to be in respect and in my soul.  They proceeded with the most beautiful loving ceremony for the Earth and Life.  It was so "right". It was connected to everything.  We are part of something more than we can imagine.  Everything is alive.  Even the colors.   And we are to embrace it all.

So, that's one story.

June 27th (again)
I know that I've repeated myself.  So here I go in another direction ...
 I have visions that are out of this world (literally)  Happening forever in my life.  I have been showed things that I can only describe in lame terms,  but also been given info about life/Universe and most importantly, Love.  It is tremendous and, at the same time, quite ...the way it is supposed to be.  I promise you - this is ours to live.   (I promise)   It is Love.

June 27th, 2018 -

I am so attached to the Nomad news blog, but I feel I've used too much room with everything I feel like sharing. So, here I am again. I'm going to run it on my own as things play out.
(Thank you Nomad for allowing me space to ramble.  You are so dear to me)

This particular blog doesn't allow for easy response.  Please feel free to write to ronni@southbuffalo.net    I don't feel uncomfortable with that.  (What's the worst that can happen?  Trumpsters?  Please, bring them on!)

So here's the jumping off place -   I want to talk about my visions, dreams, premonitions and mish-mosh.  I have a "thing" and have been asked to put it out there.  If doesn't work for you -- completely understood.  However, it is strong and, as I'm passing on,  it's a calling now.

I was born dying.  There's a belief out there that if you were stuck in between Heaven and Earth, that if you made it here, you might have a connection that continues.  I have that.  Since a very young age,  I knew things.  My Grandparents referred to me as an elder soul.  I would find them staring at me.  Not because I was cute, but because they could not figure out what I was about.
All of older Aunts and Uncles would kiss me and say I had a gift.

The dreams and visions are part of my life.  I've spoken about it before.  I am able to see things coming. I am able to see people's sickness.  I have had visions that I will talk about.  Amazing.  And I'm given dreams that are remarkable.

I want to begin sharing (and should have done so earlier) I just want to make sure there is a chronicle before I pass.  (more to come)

May 4th

Most people know me from the Nomadic Politics site.  (I know - I've said it before.  I have that problem with repeating.  I've accepted it as .... a thing)

There was a moment this evening where I mentioned on that site that I am dying of organ failure.   Severe infection due to diverticulitis and end results from a hysterectomy did me in.

 I do know this place.  I felt like I should say something to simply give a nod and a hug to those who have been there and who are going through it now.    I know we may or may not have groups that we have chosen to help us.   I did not.  I went through it via other avenues, but I went through it and got through it.  Thanks to those on our side and the the other side that help us get there.  And, when we struggle, to those that work with us, no matter which side of the veil they are helping from.

I just wanted to say this.  To share with those that are dealing, who have been through it before, and who have those that are loved, going through it.

NOETIC SCIENCE

Some of you know me via discussion boards.   Politics, Religion, Random Randomness -

In 2008 -  Sarah Palin happened.   I woke up the night of the repeat on NPR to hear her blathering   her RNC speech.   Every bit of me, right down to my atoms went into a "OMG!  who IS this person???!!! "     I rolled out of bed, trumbled down the stairs, and as soon as I could I Googled, "Sarah Palin"

Since that day, I have been connected to so many of you.  And for that, I am forever thankful.  I woke up and learned that we can have discussions.  We have discourse.  We have voting booths.  We have the ability to make statements, to make a difference, to sit with others and we can share our views.   Sometimes, those discussions are heated.   But sometimes, it's interesting - and we learn - and we listen.  And then perhaps, heated again.

But I've learned to respect the ideas, the responses, the beliefs of others.  I love this about our coming together.

As many of you know, my time here on and with this planet and plane is limited.  I am so grateful for what I have with you all.  You have opened me.  I have learned so much.

And .... from that point - here I go: 

Beginning tomorrow I will start sharing info and links that speak to me.   I was planning to get it underway a few weeks ago , but ....meh.  Life had other plans.

Med update - April 11th

Originally began as a post for the Nomad Politcs site but decided to bring it here so it doesn't clog things over there) MRI results came back. Spoke with the liver specialist on the phone and he gave me the rundown. (I see him in person next week). It's a good news/bad news thing. He doesn't have the original scan from the previous dr, so he couldn't tell if there was more damage in the liver, but he said my numbers were all really good. Platelets, bilirubin, coagulation ability, etc. My MELD number (Model for End-stage Liver Disease) has dropped, and that is good. It's a number they come up with based on all of the results that come back from the blood panel. I was pretty high up there last time it was configured. It is what they base your place on a a transplant list once you qualify. I was in the 4th tier (highest / dire ) and I'm now down to the lower end of the third tier. Based on my numbers, it looks like the small bit of liver that's functioning is doing good work. However, bad news is that something is up with the pancreas now. Lesions, varices and such. This is new. It was perfectly clear before. So, we'll do another blood workup, add some additional cancer marker checks (I have one that is flagged, but they said the liver damage can do that, but they are watching it). Also have a mass on my spleen that they want to pay attention to. In a few weeks we'll do another MRI. I have pain but otherwise I have pretty decent days, so .... I'm going with glass half full for now. Unless I have a bleed-out internally or contract a whopper illness or get an infection, we're just going to keep a close watch, keep doing what I'm doing, make sure my body qualifies for a transplant in case things take a turn, and just keep on keepin' on! Next round of drs begins this morning at 8am. Was afraid of not hearing the alarm so go up at 4. I shall be napping today, oh yes I shall. I still don't have DISQUS set up, so any responses can be posted at Nomad's or you can drop a line to: GardenGate@southbuffalo.net I have more posts that are in draft mode. With everything going on with health things and then my step-father dying so suddenly a few days ago ( I can't believe it's only been a week!) and everything else, I just never end up finishing them. Seems like I'm coming into a more settled time though and I can get back to work with all of my online projects. Have a fabulous day!

South Buffalo Online News will be discontinued.   After more than a decade, I can barely even type the words.   I will keep the Facebook going, but I'm no longer able to do the news site.

I am dealing with end stage organ failure.  Trying to keep up with things re: news, etc. -  it just cannot be done.   I will continue with Facebook postings and the monthly email.   But it's no longer possible to keep going with the local news site.  

It has been everything  to me for all of these years, because I felt it was part of our community.  And it was what I could do for our neighborhood.  

I would love to stay longer and to continue to do the doing.     Please do reach to me if you think it would be helpful for me to be part of anything having to do with South Buffalo.    If I can do it, I will be there in a moment.

If you'd like to reach me, you can do so through    vfrancis@southbuffalo.net      

Best to you all.
