It is that time again! Passport 2000 time! To night
as I put the Passport 2000 together, I have to hold back the tears.
My thoughts are with a previous caller. When Pamela was speaking to
me on the telephone she was sobbing so hard I could hardly make out
what she was saying. "It has happened again to me, she said, I
met
the wrong man and my life is a mess. What am I doing
wrong? He seemed so nice and polite when I first met him what
happened? Matt and I have been seeing each other for six months now
and up until a few months ago, everything was going great.
Last month when we attended a party at the home of a
colleague from work, he abruptly told me to shut up in front of my
co-workers. I was shocked and humiliated. When we got in the car he
told me he was so sorry and he did not know what got into him and it
would never happen again. Later when I was speaking to a male friend
from work, he overheard me, grabbed the telephone out of my hand and
hung up. He told me it was not necessary to carry on conversations
with other men.
To make matters worse last night he got mad at me
for ordering the wrong type of pizza and he hit me in the mouth. My
nose started to bleed and he left. What should I do? Will he change?
Should I forgive him? We are living together – should I leave him?
Do you think he will hurt me?" Just then she whispered, "I’ll
have to call you back, he just came in." Click went the
receiver.
All these questions... I pondered on what my answers
would be and thought about the many people in the same circumstances
all over the world. Why did they put up with such degrading,
disrespectful actions, I thought. What is holding them in this
frightening place? The answers loomed large on the screen of my mind
-- Self-worthlessness, feeling unworthy, not good enough, not able
to measure up or feeling that this negative relationship is all they
could expect. They could be feeling that they did not deserve any
better. What, I thought would help these people?
The answer I came up with was to begin with a huge
dose of self-love, respect and approval. The prescription for happy
relationships and life is to begin the journey of self-love. When we
love ourselves, we do not allow others to treat us without respect.
My thoughts are of Pamela. I wonder if she will call back. I did not
think to star 69 her call and she did not leave her number. I will
have to leave her in God’s Hands and add her to our Affirmation
Prayer Circle. Please help me pray for this unhappy, distressed
lady.
As I sit and look at a beautiful rose that was given
to me by a friend, I think of the poem I heard many years ago.
This world that we live in
Is mighty hard to beat
You get a thorn with every rose
But aren’t the roses sweet?
Author unknown
This poem says a great deal about life. What I get
from it is that every relationship we have in life has the beautiful
rose part and also the thorn part. There is always something about
your partner, family member, friend, spouse or lover that irritates
or bothers you and vice versa.
In life when we learn to give and take, care and
share and show loving kindness to everyone and every situation, the
thorns seem to disappear like magic.
No man or woman should ever have to suffer mental,
emotional or physical abuse. If this is taking place in your
relationship, it is time to make a change. We need to love, respect,
accept and approve of ourselves. How can we do that if our
significant other, spouse, partner or another person is constantly
putting us down?
I welcome your comments. I wish to take this
opportunity thank our steady subscribers and to welcome all our new
subscribers. I am so excited to report that the readership of
Passport 2000 is growing rapidly and we now have readers from
virtually all parts of the world!
Please keep sending your letters, comments and
email.

Dear Anne Marie:
I downloaded your latest Passport Newsletter and put
it in my purse, (with all 14 pages). I went to Bingo and I won

contained in your Newsletter. I really needed that money and it was
a real God-Send.
You are truly gift from heaven. I have 100% faith in you. I am so
excited to have you in my life. When my son asked me why I was so
excited about downloading your Passport 2000, I told him "This
is my Passport from a very dear friend that I have not met yet. I
hope to meet you sometime. With a millions thanks, Anne Marie …
Love Rhonda

Our particular Affirmation (Prayer) Group was
started by Rev. Eva Grace Johnson and myself in Washington State in
l989. Rev. Eva Grace Johnson is Founder of the Church of Divine
Love. This Group has been going ever since that time. At times we
have as many as fifty people joining in and at other times there are
only a handful of us. The procedure: Sit quietly at approximately
one minute to 11:00 p.m. (Vancouver, British Columbia time) every
evening, take a deep breath and release and forgive all negativity.
Then say, "I, (your name) now join in, in my mind, with Anne
Marie, Rev. Eva Grace and their Group."
Then affirm for whatever special need a family
member, friend or you may have at that time. At the end be certain
to say "Thank you," three times and remain in an attitude
of gratitude as you prepare to retire for the night. When your give
thanks, you obligate the planet for more of the same blessings. As
well this way the last thing you think of before retiring is
positive, uplifting, loving thoughts and these will stay with you
all night. You awaken feeling refreshed, happy and peaceful. Try it
and see what a difference it makes in your life.
Some people tell me that they cannot do their
affirmations at 11:00 p.m. as they may be at a party, out for
dinner, at a show, or have to go to bed earlier. I find that even if
I am at a party, I excuse myself and go to the rest room. There I
can sit and affirm for those very important three minutes or so. If
you are ill, or need to go to bed earlier than 11:00 p.m., do your
Affirmations as above and add, "I send these to Anne Marie,
Rev. Eva Grace and their Group at 11:00 p.m. (PST), tonight."
There really is no excuse not to take those
precious, rewarding three minutes or so to benefit your life and the
lives of others dear to you.
Thoughts Shared by Rev. Eva
Grace Johnson:
Participating in the Prayer Affirmation Group is
excellent training for personal development. -- It takes dedication
-- It takes discipline -- It helps develop your ability to
concentrate -- It connects you with others in a joyous and powerful
way -- It helps to move you from being EGO-centered (edging God-Out)
to being God- centered.
Participating is like step one to your own spiritual
enfoldment where all things are possible according to our level of
understanding and acceptance of God and the Universe. Participating
by helping others returns benefits to you one hundred fold. It helps
all facets of our own lives, as we pray for each other. It makes
living a real joy.
I would hope that association in the Prayer
Affirmation Group encourages your personal, spiritual development
and fulfillment
Message From Rev. EvaGrace Johnson
All my life I lived with the teachings that we are
all one, with God and with each other. So when I started my Church
of Divine Love, it was first in Port Angeles, Washington, so I could
have an authentic, non-denominational church for my wedding chapel…
fulfilling a years old dream. Then, when I met Anne Marie Evers at
Paradise Estates in Whatcom County, Washington, we set up our prayer
activity as she had already been doing. Together we have many
discussions about what the Church of Divine Love stood for.
The Following is our Vision Statement for All
Humanity
I believe that God is good; that God is love; and
that I am God’s Beloved creation with Divine Potential and
possibility.
I believe that I am one with God and that God is one
with me.
I believe that there is only one presence and one
power in the Universe and in my life. God, the good omnipotent
I believe that God and I can accomplish great things
I believe that God works in a wonderful way in and
through my mind and heart and in and through the relationships and
circumstances of my life
I believe that I am on the pathway to greater
realization of the magnitude of God Power
I believe that all things are possible, that the
only limits are the ones I place on myself
I believe that God and I are an invincible team
I believe in God and I believe in myself. (Inspired
by Thess. 2:13)
If you want to change your life, change your
thinking: "Be made whole by the renewing of your mind."
(Ephesians 4:23)
I was touched deeply by a man who had conquered his
thinking to the extent that he overcame five years of being a
quadraplegic after the Korean War. With Prayer and Meditation, he
took up his bed and walked! His name was Grover Thornsberry and he
was a minister in Seattle. I was privileged to talk with him
personally on a few occasions. I believe what he wrote in a church
bulletin some years ago.
From Church Bulletin
-- by Grover Thornsberry:
"Are you ready to experience God in a higher
and more effective way? Now we are able to realize that all that God
is I am. Oh we have been taught this for many years, but now you and
I are able to know it and begin to accept it. He is saying to each
one of us, if we listen." It is time for all people to awaken
out of the human level and realize that they are now able to move
into a whole new concept.
For so many years we have reached out to God asking
Him to come and be with us, now we are able to realize that all that
God is here -- is active within each one of us. So we must begin to
stop asking God and begin to awaken that all that God is -- is here
active within myself.
"Now is the time to awaken, begin to accept God
within yourself and begin to express God out from yourself.
Beginning to be all that we have asked God in the past. God says all
that I am you are too, but you must rise up in consciousness and
begin to realize it and accept it So our job now is to be all that
we have been trying to get God to be. God says this is why I have
created you out of myself for you to be all that I have planned you
to be. It is now time to awaken and start being.
Begin to think this great truth. God created you for
a higher purpose than you have been realizing. Stop holding yourself
back. Begin to be what you were created to be. Say to yourself,
"The fullness of God is moving through me, right now. He has
awakened me to know the truth about myself and other people. I now
move into being it and I accept it completely."
In the Joy of his Loving Presence I am."
(Signed Grover Thornsberry)
Learning to Use Affirmations as taught by Rev. Anne
Marie Evers is a beginning step. But I hope your goal is really
learning to live the live as taught by our great teacher, Jesus
Christ. Remember, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness … and all these things will be added unto you."
(Matt.6:33)

The Phoenix
News Network presents Ask Anne Marie -- The Affirmation Column (Re-printed
with permission from Nicole M. Whitney, Publisher of Solution
Oriented News, The Phoenix North Shore Edition -- August, 2000).
Dear Anne Marie:
I have a problem with my neighbor, John. He is quite
rude and parks his car partly blocking my driveway. I can drive out,
but I have to really work hard finagling my car to get out. I have
asked him nicely to please be more considerate and park a little
further down the street. All he does is grin and keep on walking as
if he never heard me.
I try to get along with my neighbors, but this one
is very difficult. His wife seems nice and waves to me. My husband
thinks I should keep my mouth shut and not makes waves with the
neighbors. What do you think might work? Jan
Dear Jan:
Perhaps your neighbor is hard of hearing and did not
actually hear you speaking to him or he could have a lot on his mind
and be pre-occupied.
I would suggest first that you try talking to him,
which you did. Have you tried knocking on his door or telephoning
him and attempting to explain your situation? As I teach in my
Affirmation Books we cannot change another person, we can just
change the way in which we view him or her. It would not help to do
an Affirmation that John become more considerate and change his
ways, unless John is willing to change. Every one of us has been
granted choice.
Ask yourself what lesson am I to learn from this
situation? When you have tried all of the above, I would suggest the
Angel Letter Method. This is the Method I wrote about in last month’s
column. Kathrina reported that her Angel Letter to her mother-
in-law worked perfectly!
You write a letter from your Higher Self to John’s
Higher Self.
I would word it as follows: "To the Angel of my
neighbor, John: I send you God’s Love; I bless you and I thank you
for being considerate of me as I am considerate of you. I thank you
for parking your car properly so I can drive out of my driveway with
ease. Thank you for honoring my request. We all live peacefully to
the good of all parities concerned. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
I send you God’s Love from the Angel of your neighbor, Jan."
Dear Anne Marie:
My ten-year-old son has started swearing and using
some very questionable language. I am surprised and hurt as we never
swear or use bad language in our home. What do you think I should do
about it? I want to stop it before it gets out of hand!
My mother suggested washing his mouth out with soap,
but I really do not want to resort to that measure. I remember when
she washed my mouth out with soap when she caught me smoking and it
did not stop me. Waiting for your advice. Naomi
Dear Naomi:
Young children are very quick to pick up negative
language and behavior from others. You cannot insulate your children
from all negative situations. What I would suggest is that you do
what one young mother, Tracey did.
She put some positive affirmations in a box on the
breakfast table and her two children, Peggy and Tommy each picked
one and read it. They were to focus on this positive statement for
that day. At the dinner table Peggy and Tommy discussed how they
implemented these statements into their day’s activities.
The dinner table conversation came alive with
excitement and expectation. Peggy and Tommy could not wait until
they could relate how their particular statement worked for them. It
became a contest and exciting game to see who could top the other’s
story.
The Affirmations that Tracey wrote were: "I am
happy; I enjoy going to school; I like my teacher; I respect others;
I watch what I say; I am popular; I am accepted; I have many
friends; I care about others; I am a good person, I am
considerate" etc. This young mother is really excited about the
changes this simple "Affirmation Scramble Game" is making
in their home. She says that life so much happier and less
stressful. "I tell everyone who will listen," she says.
Naomi, please let me know the results of this
exercise when you use it with your son. Happy Affirming! Anne Marie.

When you are searching for the perfect, lasting,
loving marriage or relationship, you are choosing the person you
wish to live with for the rest of your life. It is a very important
decision. I interviewed the following people to give you an insight
as to what ordinary people expect in their spouses. Interview
yourself and write your interview down on paper so you can re-read
it later. What kind of a partner or spouse would you make?
Ask yourself, "What would attract me to a
certain person and what are the most important ingredients of a
marriage or committed relationship?" Then describe how you feel
about the subject of faithfulness. When you interview yourself, you
will discover your real concerns, needs, thoughts, beliefs, wants
and desires.
I have always wondered what it would be like to be
an inquiring reporter so I donned my reporter hat and the hit the
streets of Vancouver, Prince George, Oliver and Fort Fraser to speak
to the average person.
The Three Questions I asked:
(a) What attracted you to your spouse, mate or
lover?
(b) What do you feel is the most important part or
ingredient of your marriage or relationship?
(c) What are your feelings and views on
faithfulness on the part of the people involved?
Please email Anne
Marie your comments on the following Interviews.
Interview number one:
Lonnie Age 42 Interior Decorator
Ron Age 49 Stock Broker
Lonnie has always been interested in Wall Street
Stock Market. She always reads the Wall Street Journal and finds it
absolutely fascinating. Ron and Lonnie met at a relationship retreat
in California. When Ron introduced himself as a Stock Broker who
worked on the New York Stock Exchange, Lonnie immediately became
very interested and wanted to find out more about him.
She thought to herself -- "What would it be
like to meet and actually have a relationship with an actual Stock
Broker? It would be a dream come true." When the instructor
asked the members of the group to choose a partner for the next ten
days, she chose Ron. They became very close during class, in the
group and on a one-to-one basis.
They discussed their feelings and emotions openly
and honestly. Ron and Lonnie were both in relationships with other
people when they met. They learned to share their inner most
feelings, emotions, hopes, fears and dreams and this made them
vulnerable to each other. This vulnerability brought out compassion
in the other. They made a decision to end the other relationships
and they are now happily married. When I interviewed Lonnie and Ron
they both told me they are each other’s best friend. Lonnie said
what attracted her to Ron was his involvement with the New York
stock Exchange and his successful persona.
Ron told me what attracted him to Lonnie was her
keen interest in him, his work and the fact that she was totally
honest. He also mentioned, it did not hurt that she was absolutely
gorgeous!
Both Lonnie and Ron said honesty, compassion,
communication and friendship are the most important factors of their
marriage. They also share the strong belief that each partner must
be 100% faithful and they are aware that faithfulness is a product
of honesty.
Interview number two:
Donald Age 41 - Computer Expert
When I interviewed Donald, he was eating a hamburger
at the White Spot. He seemed a little hesitant to speak with me, but
after he started relating his story, he completely relaxed, opened
up. This is his story.
He said what attracted him to his wife Cindy was her
capacity for caring and her great, loving heart. When he was on his
way to work one morning, he saw a girl waving her arms excitedly. He
stopped and asked if he could be of help. She cried,
"Yes, yes, please help me, this little dog has
been hit by a car and the driver didn’t even stop! He just kept on
going. Please take me to the Veterinary. There is a Veterinary
Hospital about two miles east of here. Please, hurry!" Tears
were streaming down her cheeks.
Donald looked at her and thought about his early
morning meeting at work. "Please, please mister," she
begged, "He may be dying." She was cradling the little dog
in her arms. She had tied her scarf around his little body to stop
the bleeding. The dog seemed to be in shock. Donald said, "Okay
jump in, just tell me where to turn." "Over there,"
she cried, "At that stop sign, turn left." He went in the
hospital with her and waited until the dog was taken care of. She
told the nurse she did not know who the dog was or his owner. She
found it lying on the side of the road, hurt and bleeding. She then
took out her checkbook and paid the bill, asking them to call when
the dog could come home.
Donald offered to drive her home, which she
accepted. When they exchanged names and phone numbers and Donald was
off to work. He was not too worried about missing his early meeting
as he had called in explaining the reason he would be late. Cindy
and Donald never did find out who the dog’s owner was, even though
they tried everything, so they ended up keeping it. They named the
dog, Miracle.
Donald says, he feels the most important part or
ingredient to their marriage or relationship is the loving kindness
that Sally shows to him and everyone else. As he spoke of Sally and
her unconditional love, he had to swallow several times. I swear I
saw a hint of a tear glistening in his eyes. Also both are truly
committed and say they would never be unfaithful to one another.

Dear Clev:
With reference to your e-mail -- Affirmations are
the perfect way to achieve results you want as long as it is to the
good of all parties concerned and it does not hurt anyone. It is not
wise to not report income to the government. If you check with an
accountant, I am sure you are allowed a certain amount of extra
income.
We do not charge a fee for affirmations. I only
charge for psychic readings. The cost is $35.00 for 1/2 hr. I can do
readings over the phone or at my hotmail address. I would suggest
you buy Anne Marie's book. It is only $18.00 ($15.00 book and $3.00
postage). She gives samples of affirmations that you can use for
whatever you desire in life. Short Form Affirmation -- I AM
ABUNDANTLY WEALTHY Money to me now.
Caroline, Psychic & Counselor
Dear Elizabeth:
In reference to your e-mail. God has not forsaken
you. He and your Guardian Angel are always with you. All you need to
do is ask. God has given us choice. You have chosen certain paths
and each one has an outcome.
As for your religious friends, they do not practice
being a Christian. Forget them. Consider it an experience. We must
learn from our experiences. To solve your financial problems and
relationships do affirmations. Affirmations when properly done
always work. I have a photo album full of successes.
Even though you have financial problems, I would
suggest you buy Anne Marie’s book on Affirmations. It is$18.00
($15.00 book & $3.00 postage) but worth every penny. In it are
samples of how to do affirmations properly. I copy my affirmations
directly from her book and have been very successful. Short
Form Affirmation -- I AM BALANCED, PEACEFUL AND HAPPY.
Caroline, Psychic & Counselor
Dear Caroline:
Is it possible to be in love with two men at the
same time? I have been seeing my boyfriend and my ex-finance. I am
confused and not sure which one of them I really want to be with. Is
there any sure-fire way of finding out? In the Passport you talk
about the great results people get from doing Affirmations. Would an
Affirmation help me decide? Both men are nice and neither one knows
about each other. I am getting pretty stressed and of all things my
hair is falling out. When I brush it, it comes out in handfuls. My
doctor says it is due to stress. I am only thirty-four! Melissa
Dear Melissa:
Is this worth all the stress you are going through?
I would say neither man is the one you should be with. When you have
the right man in your life you will know it. I' would suggest that
you let go of your ex-fiancée and your boyfriend. Get the stress
out of your life. It is not worth it. It seems to me that you do not
like to let go of the past. To find the perfect mate for you do an
affirmation. That is how I found my perfect mate. I recommend buying
Anne Marie’s book, Passport to Happiness. There is an affirmation
for everything that you desire in your life. Also there is an
affirmation for your health and peace of mind. She also tells you
how to release and let go of your boyfriend. and how to find the
perfect mate for you. Happy Hunting
Caroline, Psychic & Counselor
Dear Caroline:
Do you believe in getting money through gambling?
One of my friends says it is evil and another one says it is
perfectly normal and fun. Do you know anyone who has won money
through gambling? I am not rich, but I do have some extra money that
I could spend gambling. What do you suggest? Tamara
Dear Tamara:
Gambling can be fun as long as you consider it a
game. I would suggest that if you want to do this for pleasure
allocate a certain amount of money for instance $20.00 to $100.00.
When that is all gone "QUIT". Unfortunately some people
become addicted to this game and lose a lot of money. Everything in
life should be done in moderation. I do not believe in becoming rich
through gambling. Doing affirmations properly is the way I believe
in receiving money. Anne Marie has affirmations in her book on how
to receive money as well as anything else you want in your life Have
fun! Caroline, Psychic & Counselor

Whale Magic (The Royal
Critters) and John Kennedy:
Recently I interviewed John Kennedy on Your Passport
to Happiness Radio Show in Phoenix. He was discussing his wonderful
children’s project. The Royal Critters TM and Whale Magic TM. In
l985 John sent a gift to Prince William and Prince Henry. He
received a letter from Buckingham Palace thanking him for his kind
gesture of giving the young princes the gift of Rickter Duck Shirts.
The representative for the Prince and Princess of Wales also had the
correct spelling at the top of the letter. Inadvertently, John
addressed it to the Prince and Princess of Whales. This was very
embarrassing to John, but out of that error the Royal Critters TM
were born. The positive message he imparts to children is really
wonderful. This project teaches children love, respect, hope and
moral values.
I am very excited and honored to be a part of John
Kennedy’s Royal Critters TM and Whale Magic TM Project. I look
forward to working with John on the Royal Critters TM Affirmations
Book, Whale Magic 3-D Trading Cards TM and the story development of
affirmations for the pilot and each of the episodes in the Royal
Critters TM, Whale Magic TM television series.
John’s interview on the show sparked a great deal
of interest. Should you be interested in finding out more about the
Royal Critters TM and Whale Magic TM, or how you can become involved
as a shareholder, please check out John’s web site at www.royalcritters.com

Riding On A Wave…
It’s A Whale Crusade:
By Elizabeth H.B. Arnold
Creating a positive global impact is "all in a
day's work" for entrepreneur, John Joseph Kennedy, great
grandson of native Charlestonian and South Carolina Statesman,
Michale Francis Kennedy, Sr. and cousin to the late President John
F. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy’s winning combination of creativity and
sound business management has him riding waves to an aquatic
animation empire.
Mr. Kennedy, President & CEO of John Kennedy
Enterprises, Inc. and Tipperary Films, LLC, is the creator, writer
and producer of "The Royal Critters Present Whale Magic"
TV series; an ingenious endeavor created from a misspelled word. In
1985, Mr. Kennedy received a thank you letter from the Prince and
Princess of Wales in response to gifts he had sent Prince William
and Prince Harry.
Upon reading this royal "thank you", and
noticing the stationary letterhead, Mr. Kennedy realized that he had
actually addressed the gifts to The Prince and Princess of Whales!
By humorously turning this simple faux pas into a positive idea, a
delightful dream has been born for Mr. Kennedy and investors of this
well received project.
After 10 years of detailed research, Mr. Kennedy has
created a cast of more than 20 original and adorable characters. The
primary cast includes whales of all different species from all areas
of the world. This diverse cultural foundation is important in
promoting the harmonious manner in which whales enjoy their vast
habitat.
Mr. Kennedy explains that whales communicate through
sonic songs unique to each species. So naturally, Whale Magic will
incorporate an open variety of music including hip-hop, classical,
opera, Latin, tropical, and country western. More than 10 original
songs are in production as well as 16 completed books for children.
Two feature film scripts titled "Whale Magic I-Eclipse"
and "Whale Magic II-The ultimate Adventure for the 21st
Century" are ready for animation. Initially, "The Royal
Critters Present Whale Magic" is being introduced on television
through a one-hour pilot and twenty-six, 1/2 hour episodes in
English and Spanish.
This viable project is poised perfectly for the next
phase of funding which will complete the demonstration reel for TV
marketing as well as licensing programs for plush toys, books,
stationary, music CD's, and interactive CD ROM with web sites.
Corollary ideas for the project include
comprehensive school curriculums and The Royal Critters Ambassadors
of Nature program. An ambassador child will be chosen from each
country to participate in a league dedicated to improving our global
environment.
Mr. Kennedy's heart's desire is to revolutionize
children's TV, "the children of the world deserve the very best
we can offer in television entertainment and education. Let's also
re-introduce social values and etiquette." An advocate and
speaker on issues of children’s safety and child abuse, Mr.
Kennedy feels strongly that we, as a society, have unknowingly
abused our children by inadvertently exposing them to violence
through TV and Film.
John Kennedy is aligning the finest known technology
in 3-D animation with experts in all areas critical to the project's
success. The project has already received several letters of
interest for character voices from well-known celebrities. Offices
and facilities are based out of Miami and Canada. Carefully selected
animators are preparing a 3-6 minute trailer, which will also be
used in the pilot to the TV series. Major investment entities are
already in line, anticipating a preview of the demo reel, currently
on schedule for May of 2000. The TV pilot is scheduled for
completion by winter of 2000. The TV series will commence as early
as spring of 2001.
Mr. Kennedy has also acquired a following of
extremely supportive shareholders. Many of who are investing from
the standpoint of emotional reward as well as future monetary gain.
The shareholders represent a diversity similar to the whales and
have values of loyalty and dedication just like the whales exhibit
in their own family which is a whale "pod".
It is interesting to note that licensing is a $100
billion a year industry with character licensing leading the
industry with $28 billion a year in licensing revenues. Popular
characters like Barney and Pokemon generate billions of dollars a
year in licensed products.
There is even a natural developing trend of
investors purchasing shares in the name of their children. The
youngest shareholder on record to date is Braxton Aubrey Smith-Nowell,
only 3 months of age. Mr. Kennedy appreciates all the encouragement
he's received from his family and his "pod" of "Whale
Magic" shareholders.
After meeting John Kennedy, I must say, I am
awestruck by children's reaction to him, even tiny babies take
notice and smile. It's as though they sense in their hearts what he
has in store for them just around the high-tech, 3-D animated coral
reef in the year 2001.
"The Royal Critters Present Whale Magic"
is sponsored in part, by the Kennedy’s of Charleston Benevolent
Trust Foundation. For additional information on the project, or if

"Whale Magic" investors contact Tipperary Films at P.O.

"It's too exquisite to open my eyes. I'm lying
here remembering my dream...
I am riding one of my kid’s snowboards, a white
one, down the city streets since it is converted with wheels in the
summer, like a skateboard. I lift the front of it occasionally to
get a better ride and go through puddles on a street that needs
fixing-lots of bumps and small potholes. I stop for ice cream, a
special kind that the young woman grinds up with different things.
It is pink but when she releases the pressure out comes white ice
cream which dissolves. "I forgot to freeze the ice cream last
night." I have waited too long for my treat. I stick my fingers
in the glass container and scrape a bit of chocolate and other kinds
off the side and taste them. The young girl doesn't care. She is
talking to her friend. She won't get her minimum wage pay tonight,
but she doesn't care. Off on the snowboard again...
The traffic shakes the memory of the dream. Eyes
still closed I remember the exquisite French movie from last
evening. The kind without any superfluous words with exquisite
actors, a man and a woman and love and honesty, unexpectedness and
yearning.
So exquisite is my memory of it that I don't want to
open my eyes and linger in the fantasy. I don't want to be
distracted. After some time I keep my eyes closed and get out of
bed.
I sit back down on the bed and take a drink of water
from the night table. I get up and feel my way along the wall,
"Oh, that's interesting, I didn't realize this wall extended
this far." Around the corner to the bathroom, I sit down on the
toilet, the smell of strong urine, flush, toilet seat down.
Across to the sink now, grope for the toothbrush,
good, here it is and toothpaste on the other side. O.k. Tongue
scraper, that works well.
Shower. Here's my round face soap that smells like
patchouli and oh, yes, my body soap the shape of a round bar cut in
half.
Rinse off, oh, my feet haven't been washed. Start
singing auld lang syne. Dry off.
Face cream, darn where is it? Impatient, almost
ready to tear open my eyes to look for the green case. Oh, here it
is. Body lotion. Good, all smooth now. Towel hung on the rack. Reach
down for a 3-ply very soft Kleenex, mmm feels so good, blow my nose
and drop it into the wastebasket. Thud. It sounds like it went in. I
cheat and open my eyes for a millisecond. No, it didn't go in, the
waste basket is on the other side of the toilet.
As I write this on the computer, I am closing my
eyes, only once to make sure my hands are on the right keys.
Decide to break the no looking fast. Good, it's not
a sunny day, less distractions less contrast of the colors. I can be
more in myself. The phone rings. "Sorry, I can't keep that
appointment today with you, let's reschedule for next week."
"That's not good enough, Brad," I say, "I need to see
the office today." Silence. "O.K. I'll work it out. See
you around 10:15."
Straight and to the point. Could I have been that
clear and to the point without an eye fast for the last half hour?
My eyes are still closed at this moment. What is
there to judge with closed eyes? Nothing. Things feel very
straightforward. Now there is a sadness coming into my heart, now up
towards my throat. My eyes burn. Loneliness. I feel lonely and
unconnected.
I can hear the fountain, traffic far away, the
clicking of the computer keys, my right upper arm itches from the
shower. A truck door closes in the lane. Men talking. Still lonely.
I open my eyes now and start the day. I remember the
dream; I remember the movie; there's small bits of blue sky above;
some muted sun on the neighbors' kitchen window.
I feel changed. Sober. A bit of sadness remains. Now
neutral. I hear the fountain. A plane far away. It's starting to
rain. Good, I won't have to water the flowers today.
