If you'd like to hear daily readings from Treading On Serpents; they are being read on the YouTube Channel called Swanie1. A personal thank you to Kirk who has made these readings available to his subscribers.  God bless us all.  ###

It's been a while since I've blogged. I'm not a daily blogger. I guess being watched and listened-to for (now) eighteen years, I've learned to be quiet. I'm not saying that's the best thing to do; it has just developed over the years. Sergeant Scott Sepanek from www.SpiritualJews.com, on you-tube, suggested that I blog my thoughts on a daily basis for others to read. I can honestly admit that I've tried to do that. I guess I've been conditioned to not reveal my thoughts or moves, due to being set up by the enemy. So, I forgive myself and move along the best I can, and I blog whenever I have something not too revealing to say.

I've been wanting to make videos; that's no secret. And I know some of you have been regularly checking my Vlog section, only to leave disappointed. Slowly but surely I am moving ahead, but more slowly than I'd like. It seems I have everything I need to proceed, but the chutzpah. Sometimes, I'm not sure if it's The Lord keeping me out of the spotlight or if it's the enemy.  Either way, Vlogging is just sitting dormant right now.  However, I am a big YouTuber. I regularly watch videos and comment on most of them. I see the energy these people put into their work, day after day; bringing us comfort, entertainment, and sometimes, even camaraderie with live shows. (God bless all of you who comment "live" and are nice to one another; you are part of a huge healing movement.)

I will move out of my comfort zone and go out on a limb here to share a secret: The Lord has put something special on my heart--to send one copy of my book, as a tithe, to someone special each month. So, that's what I've been quietly doing for a few months now. So, you might find that someone will occasionally mention it on their video, though it's not a prerequisite to receiving a copy from me. It's just a way for me to participate in this spiritual warfare; surviving while being gang stalked and to give something back to those who give so much by making videos for us to view or listen to. Out of the copies that I've already sent out over the past four months, I've only received one bad review where a daily devotional just didn't flip this guy's switch. So considering the odds, that's not too bad. LOL  I think it's important that we all do something to help someone else to either feel appreciated or loved or whatnot, even if it means just leaving a kind comment.  Some of us do our part in the spotlight while others do it quietly behind the scenes.  We are all part of a whole where even small contributions matter. ###

For today's reading, September 17, the Reminder at the bottom mentions to read Psalm 81 aloud. It is meant to be Psalm 31.  I have gone over my manuscript numerous times and this error has never existed. To have it occur in my published book is par for the course. It is important for me to let my readers know that I have thought of re-editing the book, but honestly, I do not trust the results to be any better than they are now. Each time it has been edited, it has been returned with new errors. It is best that I leave it as-is. Psalm 31 is a powerful reading and hits every side of the gang stalking/harassment system. ###

I accidentally ran across a video about my book today; it was a Danish video and I didn't understand anything the man was saying, but I stood watching it with a smile on my face. There have been a couple of wonderful You-tubers who have made videos about my book. These people were not bought or bribed; they feel this book can help Targeted Individuals and decided to make a video via www.youtube.com all on their own. Thank you Sgt. Scott Sepanek, and thank you Julius from The Human Project.

If you get a chance to check out these videos, please do! Scott Sepanek has a slew of good spiritual videos on the topic of gang stalking. His website is awesome, too: therapturecult.com  His take on fighting back comes from a non-emotional place, probably from being a Gunnery Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps for 22 years. I am so honored to have him read my book and highlight it, I cannot even begin to tell you!  He is a true soldier, and his outlook on how we can defend ourselves during this time is priceless and rare. I truly treasure our partnership.

Julius from creatrix13 has about 12,000 subscribers. He makes videos in English and also in Danish. An unbelievably gifted Empath who hits the topic of gang stalking from all angles, for all people. He covers every possible topic that can help others. One day I had mentioned having had a witchcraft dream. It wasn't an hour that went by before he emailed me a video on deliverance (that actually worked). I am truly honored and grateful for our connection, and the fact that my book is a part of his daily arsenal of weapons, clear across the world. ###

Awhh! it is truly heartbreaking to learn of targeted individuals who are on the lam. They have pets that they long to keep, as they run from state to state, looking for peace from this insanity. That part of being gang stalked hasn't changed in the eighteen years I've been involved. In other words, their tactics for displacing the person are the same. They had stripped me of everything, too, and had me running with my two dogs, across the United States. Some TIs aren't as lucky as I was; they don't have wheels, shelter from the environment, somewhere to lay their head, behind locked doors. I cried today when I watched this video. It's not sad. It's beautiful. I do hope you take a few minutes and treat yourself: https://youtu.be/r8WnOu7PIrQ  Thank you, Carlton, for sending it. I have seen this person's videos come up under "recommended videos" and now I will subscribe to his channel. We must all remember to pray, not only for ourselves and our pets, but for each other. This is a spiritual battle, and when we meet someone who is newly targeted, we must help them realize that their answer is not in finding other targets to help them; most are hanging on by a thin thread themselves. It is about relying solely on God. May He bless us all. ###

Fifteen years ago, when I was "on the run" in motor homes, running across the nation  with nowhere in particular to go, I encountered many episodes with law enforcement agents. I was put in a position of running, yet I'd done nothing wrong, and really wasn't sure why I was running. As I am hearing similar stories from other TIs, these bad experiences come to the forefront of my mind and turn my anxiety level up. I recently received a comment from a southern gentleman, telling me he is followed by strangers, everywhere he goes. I do hope you read his comment, as this type of thing is happening to other people around the globe.  He is not the only one. More and more people who drive professionally across the country are treated the same way. One man who drives big rigs for a living, thought he was exempt from being followed because he was in a different state every night. He boasted about it on his YouTube channel, which then seemed to turn the heat up on his stalking. Within hours, he was followed by unmarked cars that parked outside his truck at truck stops and rest stations, until he continued to proceed cross country. One car followed him from an overnight rest area over 100-miles on the freeway. We subscribers suspected these followers to be cops; after all, who else could get away with driving without a license plate on their vehicle? Something very strange is going on in the world. ###

It was TI day in Chicago on August 29th. Though, we got rained out for a few hours, and I was forced to buy a Chicago Bears Hoodie, and later go home due to being soaked, I am glad that I attended, even if it was only for a couple hours.  The night before, we took a taxi downtown Chicago and met the group at Portillo's, where some of us had dinner. I was amazed at how many TIs came from all over: Missouri, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, Washington, and of course, Chi-town. Most everyone was friendly and just happy to be able to talk to another person who understood the phenomenon of being gang stalked without being judged as crazy. Some of us were old timers, like myself, targeted for 17 to 24 years, while others were in their first year.  Personally, I was very proud of myself to have attended. I have found solace in my isolation over the years, but would have hated myself had I not participated. I did not go to promote my book, though I wished I could have given a copy to everyone who was there. Perhaps next year, I can make that happen. Instead, I made a copy of the daily readings for the 28th and 29th and passed them out. It was the least I could do for a fellow Targeted Individual. After all, that's why I wrote the book: to help the suffering TI make it through another day, with the help of The Lord. I also want to add that I managed to take the train downtown. It was my first time getting around the good ol' Chicago way: by train! It was my big step out of isolation and gave a whole new meaning to "Feel the fear and do it anyway."    ###
