Current WIPs and Fic Concepts
I promised I would do this yesterday, and then I forgot!!! (I was very sleep deprived). Anyways, here are a bunch of the WIP premises that I have in my 'unfinished drafts' folder. Most have at least a few pages written for them, but I love them all! ☺️💕
- A Santa Clarita Diet AU (Jonsa) Takes place in sunny southern California, where a shitty dinner at a mediocre restaurant turns into a huge problem for Jon and Sansa when Sansa's heart stops beating. Although she seems fine, Jon is flabbergasted several days later as he watches his wife- who alphabetizes their pantry and refuses to let anyone wear shoes in the house- rip the throat out of one of the sleazy new partners at their law firm, eating half of him before anyone processes what's going on. Hilarity ensues as Sansa's inhibitions and filter disappear, Arya ropes an extremely confused Gendry into helping figure out what the hell is going on just because he moderates the zombie forum on reddit, and Jon tries to deal with the fact that the woman he loves more than anything is now a humanitarian. He really could use a drink. (This one is actually mostly complete, but i need to refine a few things- i really love it. It's as gory and irreverent as the show, so viewer discretion advised, but it's a BLAST to write).
- A Thor/MCU AU (Jonsa, Steve Rogers/Sansa)- Asgardian prince Aegon is banished to Midgard after one too many arrogant decisions, and is promptly hit by a van containing Dr. Sansa Stark, Dr. Barristan Selmy, and Margaery Tyrell- two astrophysicists studying wormholes and Sansa's best friend and pseudo-intern. Marg yells at him, he yells back, Sansa tases him, and Barristan didn't sign up for the kind of heavy lifting that getting a 200+ pound slab of muscle into the back of a van takes. And then Aegon's younger brother, Jon, shows up, in the middle of an identity crisis because, apparently, he's adopted. He wasn't intending to stay, but he's rather drawn to Dr. Stark and her brilliance, and against her better judgement, she starts to trust him, and maybe even like him. This story is in about three parts so far- the first is based on 'Thor' and the second on 'The Avengers' and are fully Jonsa, and the third started as a family bonding story between the Stark kids and Tony (Ned and Tony are second cousins, and Ned was really supportive of Tony in rehab without expecting anything in return), and accidentally turned into a Steve Rogers/Sansa Stark story, which is a pairing i am HERE for. A lot of this one is written, but it needs some fill in before publishing, although it's one of my favorites that i've written to go back and actually read.
- A Star Wars AU (Jonsa) where Sansa and Arya are Alderaanian princesses who are off planet when Alderaan is destroyed- Sansa as a senator and Arya as a pilot, both working for the rebellion, and jon is a smuggler who does not know how all of these people got on his ship and why two princesses are sassing him. His copilot, Tormund (yes he's a wookie), thinks it is hilarious. I started this one just the other day, and it's already thirty pages long, most of them involving Sansa and Arya sassing people. Dany is a leader in the rebellion, Roose Bolton is the emperor, and Barbrey Dustin is a disgruntled former jedi trying to live in peace on a remote planet until another Stark crashes into her life and harangues her into teaching again.
- A witches/magic AU (Jonsa) where the Starks run an apothecary and spellcasting supplies shop. Jon had been completely in the dark about magic before his mother confessed to being born into a family of witches. He finds himself traveling to her hometown, trying to understand her world more clearly, and what it means for him. On the way, he develops something of a crush on the red-headed shop clerk who brews the best headache potions in town. Featuring lots of magical shenanigans, this is one of my favorites in the folder :)
- A 24 hour diner AU (Jonsa) where Jon is a local mob boss, and Sansa works the late shift at Seaworth's diner to buy textbooks for the PhD she's working on in botany. Sansa's running from memories, and Jon has a soft spot for the red-headed waitress who always remembers how he likes his coffee.
- An East of the Sun, West of the Moon AU!!! (Jonsa) This is one of my fav fairy tales, and of course i couldn't resist Jon as a direwolf striking a deal with the starks!
- A Roomates AU (Jonsa)- Arya, Jon, Tormund, and Sam have been renting the same house together off Winterfell's campus for years- but when Sam moves in with his girlfriend, they need one more person on the lease. Sansa, about to relocate to Winterfell for grad school, finds out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her and that her housing plans have fallen through, all on the same day. Needless to say, she's a bit upset when she calls Arya to relay the news. There's a simple solution here, if Arya and Tormund can stop teasing Jon about his crush for five minutes. (any excuse to write tormund and arya roasting jon, tbh).
- A Fae AU (Jonsa)- When Sansa, a baker living in the city, washes her face in an enchanted spring on a camping trip, she gains the sight as a result. Suddenly able to see the fae underworld all around her is disorienting and terrifying. Sansa tries to conceal it- afraid of what might happen if the fae around her know that she can see them- but slips up, and catches the attention of Jon Snow- one of the lords of the unseelie court.
- A nuclear winter wasteland AU (Jonsa)- (?? I don't even know how to describe this premise, haha) where the Starks are living and running the Free Winterfell settlement in Siberia after a worldwide nuclear meltdown. Before the fallout, Sansa was one of the world's preeminent researchers in plant genetics and pathology, and works at the settlement to create newer, disease and radiation resistant crops to distribute for free to other settlements, aiming to break up the monopoly that Lannister Corp has on the market. Jon is a scavenger, searching throughout Siberia for his sister Rhae who disappeared several years previously. When he runs across Arya Starkovna, helping her fight off another band of radiation ravaged scavengers is just instinct- he doesn't think twice about it. In thanks, she brings him to the Winterfell settlement, where her brother Robb offers Jon sanctuary and resources, in exchange for serving as a bodyguard for Sansa when she travels to other settlements. Sansa is not particularly thrilled by this arrangement, but given that multiple parties seem to want her dead, she doesn't have much of a choice but to accept his company.
- A reincarnation AU (Jonsa)- of sorts. Robb is an archaeologist who finds a strange set of runes at a site up north, and immediately calls in Jon Snow- a historian and expert in said ancient language, as well as an old university friend of Robb's. When he arrives though, Robb shows him their most valuable finds- two mysterious ice blocks, with what appear to be perfectly preserved bodies from over a thousand years ago. No one could ever have imagined that either of them were still alive, but when the ice melts, revealing two very alive girls, the entire crew is instantly buried in NDAs, and given an assignment from the Westerosi government to figure out what the hell was going on. Sansa and Arya wake up, extremely confused about the world they live in, trying to adapt and mourning all that they've lost, even as the people around them wear familiar faces.
- Soulmates AU (Jonsa)- (Yes, another one, I love this dumb trope) Trauma surgeon and medical resident Sansa Stark is having a very bad day, and ends up meeting her soulmate during what she thinks is a mugging gone wrong. Fortunately, he’s not the one mugging her, just an intervening bystander, but she ends up slightly shot nonetheless. Sansa’s fretting about bleeding on the upholstery in his car, but Jon is a bit more worried about her injuries than the blood stains. He’s a bit confused when she threatens him if he takes her to a specific hospital, nearly has a nervous breakdown when she insists on doing her own triage, and is very charmed when she insists on ice cream after taking pain meds at the hospital. On Sansa’s part, she’s a little less concerned about being shot, and a bit more concerned about whatever weird first impression she’s making to her soulmate while high as a kite on pain pills. (this one just needs some tweaking to be postable- I'm not sure if it's going to be a oneshot or a series, but i love what I have already)
- A Demon/Archivist AU (Jonsa)- where Sansa works in the university's historical archives in Oldtown, and is learning to restore old texts with her fellow student and friend, Alleras (Trans Sarella is an amazing concept). When Joffrey Baratheon shows up with a pile of old books from his family's library to donate, Sansa is eager to get away from his sleaze, and accidentally takes one of the books home with her in her rush to leave. Unbeknownst to her, it's more than it appears, and when she leaves it open overnight, she accidentally summons forth Jon- an ancient, powerful, and extremely annoyed demon who is under a curse, and now hers to command. As Jon and Sansa try to get used to this new normal, the Lannisters (unaware that Joffrey had donated the tome) try desperately to find the book and it's owner, wanting Jon's power for themselves, and putting Sansa in considerable danger unless she can figure out how to break Jon's curse. Fortunately, she's a pretty good researcher, even if Jon is initially a bit of a grump. (This is based on a total wish-fulfillment mary-sue type premise for something I wrote when I was thirteen, and I revisited it and wanted to see what it would look like if i took it very seriously, and i am really enjoying it so far. It's a love letter to the terrible, heartfelt writing i was doing in middle school that created the foundations for my writing today, and so much fun).
The one that I am MOST excited about though:
- A Pacific Rim AU!!!! (Ned/Cat, Gendrya, Braime, Sansa/Jon Umber)-Twins Sansa and Robb Stark have always been completely in tune with each other, and when your parents are Jaeger pilots and your mother invented the neural handshake, what option is there but the Jaeger academy? Sansa studies to be an engineer, but ends up copiloting the Jaeger 'Winter Wolf' with her twin brother, after they lose Ned Stark to cancer. When Robb is ripped out of the conn-pod and killed by a kaiju while he's still connected to Sansa, she barely manages to kill the creature before stumbling back to shore, traumatized, grieving, and swearing that she'll never pilot again.
Unfortunately, the Kaiju don't stop just because Sansa does, and when the end of the world is imminent, Marshall Catelyn Stark orders both her daughter and former pilot Jaime Lannister (who lost his twin and copilot, Cersei, several years previously) back to Hong Kong for one final stand. Forced to face both her demons and an irate Arya, furious that Sansa had abandoned the rest of them after Robb's death, Sansa and Arya have to figure out how to pilot Winter Wolf together before the apocalypse comes for them all.
Featuring Marshall Catelyn Stark (commander of the Hong Kong Shatterdome, inventor of the neural handshake, former Jaeger pilot, and BAMF), Sansa x Jon Umber (Yes i know it's a rare pair but i've always kind of loved the idea of them, even though we know so little about him), Kaiju parts dealer and smuggler Petyr Baelish, bickering kaiju biologist Dany and theoretical mathematician Jon Snow, LOCCENT officer Theon, lots of snark, lots of angst and heartfelt conversations, and a weird friendship between snarky-grieving-asshole Jaime Lannister and kind-quiet-grieving Sansa Stark, who are the only two people in the world who know what it's like to lose a copilot and a twin in the drift.
Thanks for reading guys!! There are more, but some of them I just don't know how to explain quite yet, haha. I'd love to hear what you guys think about these!

Drug rehab near Santa Clarita CA
For many people, the prospect of spending time in a drug rehab facility is not a pleasant one. Spending time in a drug rehab near Santa Clarita, California, a town that is well-known for its wooded cliffs and sandy beaches, may prove to be an ordeal for those who have addictive traits or who are simply suffering from an alcohol or drug addiction problem. The temptation for some people to return to their substance abuse, whether it is alcohol or narcotics, is often overwhelming, and they may do so under the influence of another substance such as caffeine. Before committing to any treatment program, individuals should consult their primary care physician and ask about all available treatments as well as relapse prevention methods.
Most addiction treatment centers offer several types of treatment including inpatient services, outpatient services, day treatment, and residential treatment. Individuals who are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol should be assessed thoroughly prior to choosing a specific treatment center. Patients should be carefully screened for drug dependency and mental health problems, and should be scheduled on a regular basis for medical appointments and drug testing. Relapse prevention programs are also offered in many addiction treatment centers, and these should be explored and made part of the overall treatment program. In addition, some treatment facilities offer spiritual support and counseling programs to families of patients who are struggling with drug addiction.
A near Santa Clarita addiction treatment center can be the perfect place for an individual to receive treatment. There are many addiction treatment centers in the greater Los Angeles area, and close proximity is not always a prerequisite. In many instances, a patient may be able to work closely with the qualified staff at the addiction treatment center in order to complete an treatment program that is customized to meet his or her needs. The staffs of an addiction treatment center near Santa Clarita are dedicated to making their patients feel comfortable, secure, and confident that they are making a positive change in their life, and they strive to help their patients overcome their addiction on every level.

Control the Controllables: Tariq Speights’s journey through football
Tumblr media
Story by Jordan Rogers
PHOENIX – Tariq Speights rolls with the punches.
Though he is now playing football at Eastern Michigan University, his path to a Division 1 school was littered with roadblocks.
Through suffering a serious injury, being constantly overlooked, and enduring setback after setback, there was a time when playing college football didn’t seem like an option.
But his ability to persevere and battle adversity has led him to realizing his dreams as a football player.
Starting out at the flag level, Speights has been playing football since he was four years old.
“When I was younger, football was a way in which I could just get my energy out,” Speights said. “It was just fun, but as I started to grow up, I found a way to appreciate the art of the game.”
As football began to get more serious for Speights, he found his way to Valencia High School in Santa Clarita, Calif. To date, the school has won 11-straight Foothill League titles, including all four years Speights attended the school.
Though he got called up in both his freshman and sophomore seasons for playoffs, he did not play full time varsity-level football until his junior year. Valencia head coach, Larry Muir, was impressed with what Speights brought to the table.
“He (Speights) really exceeded expectations in the intangibles,” Muir said. “Obviously, physically he was a good player. He was aggressive, tough, strong, and just a really good athlete. But what really set him apart was his leadership.”
Speights was putting together a good junior season in his first full year at the varsity level. After earning his way onto the starting lineup, Speights recorded 52 tackles through just six games, which at that point lead the league in that category. Game seven brought an opponent he had extra anticipation for: Saugus High School.
“Saugus and I had kind of a personal rivalry because I played with all of those guys during my eighth-grade year,” Speights said. “Those were all of my boys, so it was a big game for me.”
Speights answered the bell. By halftime, he had recorded 11 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble. And although he didn’t know it at the time, the career game he was putting together came at a very good time.
“My junior year is when I started to get college attention,” Speights said. “Someone had told me that one of the colleges I was talking to was at that game, but I didn’t know that until after the fact.”
Two plays into the second half, Speights was running towards the play to help out on a tackle. As he drew closer, a Saugus offensive lineman rolled into his knee and he collapsed. Speights said he felt a warm sensation in his leg.
Team trainers rushed to Speights’s location, and not thinking too much of it, he walked off the field under his own power. He did not return to the game.
“My knee just felt super loose,” Speights said. “It didn’t really hit me that it was actually hurt until after the game.”
Getting MRI’s are normally a process that is scheduled out weeks in advance, so Speights had to wait a month until he could learn exactly what happened to his knee.
“I had been rehabbing a sprained MCL in my other leg during the weeks before then,” Speights said. “It had literally healed right before the Saugus game. In my mind, it was the same thing that I had. I was like, ‘Oh it’s just a sprain, I’m going to be good.’”
Unfortunately for Speights, he was wrong. The MRI revealed that Speights had suffered from a torn his ACL, MCL, and meniscus.
Instead of making the situation about him, Speights told Muir about his injury and specifically asked him not to tell the rest of the team. He wanted the team to focus on the upcoming game.
“His communication, and his influence on the players around him, is incredible,” Muir said. “He’s just a guy that understands the meaning of teamwork and team chemistry. He’s not going to allow the people around him to slack off.”
When he learned of his injury, it was difficult for Speights to come to grips with it all. He decided to get another opinion.
He took the injury to the team doctors at Valencia and after they did their due diligence, they had decided that the initial MRI was correct.
“I was shocked,” Speights said. “I was starting to get college attention and I thought I was going to get a scholarship offer. Stuff was really going good, and then that hit and sent shock waves over everything. Colleges really started backing off of me.”
After having surgery, Speights’s junior season was over. But he realized he had another season to showcase his abilities, so he did his best to stay positive.
“Especially with injuries like that, if you don’t adapt and keep a positive mindset through this whole thing, that is when you see situations where guys don’t come back from their injuries,” Speights said. “It’s just as much a mental injury as it is a physical injury.”
Speights got to work on his recovery right away. But nothing would come easy to him. When the meniscus gets torn, the leg has to stay completely stationary in order to heal, so Speights had to keep his leg in a cast for a month.
Keeping that positive mindset he stressed, Speights did whatever he could to stay in shape, including lifting in his free time at Valencia in his free time.
Six to nine months is the timeline it takes for the knee to recover, and in six months Speights was ready to begin strengthening his knee. But just like many others, Speights had to learn to trust his knee.
“That was the hardest thing,” Speights said. “It’s something that my physical trainer really helped me do. If you don’t trust it, you’re going to lose that quick step that makes people so great. It was a whole other mental process for me aside from letting my knee heal.”
After his recovery, Speights came back and was handed third-team reps. He would have to earn his way back onto the starting lineup. Valencia had other talented players, so he wasn’t going to just be handed his spot back upon his return.
Speights took it as a challenge. To this day, he believes having to work his way back up made him a better football player and allowed him to appreciate the game even more.
“He just came back on a mission,” Muir said. “He just had laser focus to getting back to playing at a high level. There was just no question he was on a mission to come back from that devastating injury.”
That laser-like focus didn’t end in the offseason. After re-earning his starting spot, Speights had yet another good season and was compensated with a First-Team All-Defense selection.
Despite his successful time on the field at Valencia, Speights still was still navigating through the recruiting process. He had some interest, but nothing serious.
“I knew in my heart that I could play at the Division 1 level,” Speights said. “It was something I was stressing to myself since my freshman year. But especially after my ACL injury, getting to play at a FBS school was kind of a far reach. Realistically, FCS football was probably my best bet.”
Speights, along with Muir, sat down and emailed every FCS school in the country, attempting to showcase himself in a way that a team would be interested. Northern Arizona University responded, saying they would come by for a workout.
“[My family and I] had actually visited all of the Arizona schools earlier,” Speights said. “So even before football became an option, I loved NAU.”
The special teams coordinator showed up to a practice in the spring. After he and Speights exchanged some contact info and ended up choosing to go to NAU with a preferred walk-on spot he was told her would receive.
Unfortunately for many student-athletes, they get told things that aren’t always true. Speights’s case at NAU was no different.
“He didn’t promise anything, but he eluded to things in a way that he probably didn’t have any authority to elude to,” Speights said. “Once I got there, the situation wasn’t what I was told it would be.”
That previously offered walk-on spot would not be given to Speights upon his arrival at the school. But like Speights had done at Valencia, he continued to push through when things got rough.
Speights was strung along. He was basically told week-by-week that he would be added to the roster, but that never ended up happening. What made things even more difficult was that he was sharing a dorm with other guys on the football team, but he was not playing. Speights had hit a low.
Much of the relationship between a college coaching staff and its players is built on trust, and after spending an entire year not playing football, Speights had no trust for the coaching staff at NAU.
But Speights wasn’t done playing football. He decided to go back home and walk on at College of the Canyons, a junior college located in Santa Clarita.
Luckily for Speights, Canyons was more than happy to have the opportunity to have him, as they had recruited him out of Valencia and lost out on him to Northern Arizona.
“He actually had practiced with us once or twice during his senior year,” Canyons coach Ted Iacenda said. “We were just ecstatic, I mean, we were so excited to have him. We wanted him badly.”
Junior college football is often fantasized and carries many stereotypes. The show “Last Chance U” was made to highlight all of those. But Iacenda, who is entering his eighth season as head coach of the Cougars, knows it is nothing like that.
“Our program couldn’t be any further from what that show depicted,” Iacenda said. “The one common denominator you see at our level is you see young men that are hungry for an opportunity. You see young men that are hungry to be coached, to be taught, to be developed, and to get to that promise land and chase those dreams.”
At 5’10”, 230 pounds, Speights has been slapped with an “undersized” tag since he started playing football. He’d been overlooked and undervalued. He fit Iacenda’s “common denominator” to a tee.
As soon as Speights got to COC, he got to work. He knew moving home de-motivates a lot of people, so he got into a routine. Whether he had classes that day or not, he would go to campus and knock out his homework early so he could spend more time working on his game, whether that be working out or watching film.
“In the back of my head, I knew it was a sink or swim moment,” Speights said. “For me, I had the mindset that COC was going to be the steppingstone for the Division 1 college that I want to play at. If I don’t give my all right now, I might not play this game ever again. I was going to work my butt off and I was going to put myself in the best position to have an opportunity to play at the next level.”
Speights’s hard work was again rewarded. As the heart and soul of a defense that allowed just 9.5 points per game and ranked No. 1 in the state of California, Speights lead COC to an undefeated regular season.
He was named National Division, Northern League Defensive Player of the Year and received an All-American selection. Speights recorded 76 total tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
Iacenda found his time at the school very efficient. To him, Speights carried traits that are not normal for most people to have.
“He just had a tenacity that most kids or most human being in general don’t have,” Iacenda said. “Most people don’t possess one-tenth of his persistence and his ability to push through adversity. He had the positivity and the optimism to see that even though this was a bump in the road for him, he was still going to go chase his dreams.”
Again, despite his personal success and accolade-filled season, he wasn’t getting a lot of recruitment attention.
“Especially after the year I just had where I showed that I could play, I think people were just scared,” Speights said. “I think people were just worried about the height issues. I saw a lot of schools come in and not talk to me because that’s all they saw.”
But late in the game, Eastern Michigan University stepped in and took a closer look at Speights and his body of work. The school had just lost one of their linebackers and needed to fill that void. They thought Speights may just be the one to fill that void.
“Through recruiting, our linebackers coach went and saw a practice,” Eastern Michigan coach Chris Creighton said. “He called me up and said, ‘I’m not saying the talent level is the same, but this guy might be Mike Singletary junior.’ He was just running the whole defense and running the practice.”
It finally seemed as though Speights’s dream of playing at a Division 1 school was coming true. But when Eastern Michigan was looking at Speights, they were out of scholarships at the time, so Speights had to make a decision to go to the school and bet on himself by waiting for one to come his way.
After taking it upon himself to tour the school, he decided to go to Eastern Michigan. To this day he is very happy with the decision he made, and Creighton believes Speights has fit right in with the team.
“He’s been a perfect fit,” Creighton said. “He’s an outstanding human being. He really cares about other people and about this team and is obsessed with getting better. That’s what makes him a perfect fit.”
Two weeks into being with the team at Eastern Michigan, Speights was awarded a scholarship. He had finally reached a goal that meant so much to him.
He had always wanted to find a way to pay his parents back for everything they had done for him, and he could now do that.
“They have my brother and sister that they have to put through college,” Speights said. “It’s the reason why my injury in high school was such an emotional shock. I had always thought that if I could use my athletic talents to help out my parents then I would. Having that happen was a really big moment for me.”
After appearing in eight games a season ago for the Eagles, Speights has worked his way into the opportunity to receive starting reps this upcoming season. And for him, everything he has worked for will be coming to a head when he gets that first start.
For others who are facing adversity such as Speights has, his advice is to keep a positive mindset.
“If people would step back and understand that a lot of this stuff that is happening is completely under their control, it will change so many things in people’s lives,” Speights said. “Just control the controllables.”

The DOR Before the Rain - A Heavy Energy Day in Santa Clarita
Mar. 2, 2019
I am back on the mountain today, but yesterday we were in Santa Clarita, which was under heavy DOR attack. All of Southern California was under attack, which is the predictable pattern before a rain storm. This all started the night before, Feb. 28, while we were in Los Angeles. The day was fresh, with light clouds typical in an OR atmosphere on the California coast. While there was some DOR in the atmosphere, it was overall pleasant. Then in the late afternoon, a shift toward DOR began. It affected drivers (someone almost caused an accident with us out of aggression, not just stupidity), there was an insane man with bags of recycling cans yelling at a postal clerk at the Hollywood post office over their supposed theft of his money. and I was attacked shill style by an acquaintance over my freedom from the legal system, which he could not begin to understand. By the end of the day, the atmosphere and the people were both DORized and the energy was oppressive.
The next day, March 1, in Santa Clarita, we woke up to an ORized atmosphere. The shift had occurred overnight. Energetic (and weather) warfare is a constant battle. People think that there is a quick fix and don’t understand that having an energetic weapon of our own, orgonite as our self defense, is not a cure all. They think they’ll never see a chemtrail again because they can’t put in the mental and spiritual work, but this is war. So of course the parasites keep hitting back. We are winning though, as can be seen in the record breaking precipitation this winter in California. By lunch time yesterday, the atmosphere was switching back to DOR, and by the end of the day it was as DORish as I had ever seen in Santa Clarita, a naturally high OR environment. I felt heat through my body, as I was essentially “microwaved” in the grocery stores by all that EMF from everyone’s phones bouncing around. I sweated more than usual even though it was in the 60s outside, because of the DOR. I was constantly parched and could not get enough water. DOR sucks up moisture like a sponge.
I had a migraine all day yesterday from the deadly energy. The headache increased and persisted throughout the day until afternoon today, when I finally discharged all the DOR with self care including sleep, good food, an Epsom salt bath, and time in my natural outdoor environment with the medicine horse, a healing animal. Now I feel good again, because I live in a very low EMF place and have none of these deadly devices in my home. Overnight there was very heavy rain here, and Santa Clarita continues to get rain tonight. The effort to suppress the rain was an abysmal failure for the parasites, and there was even a little splattery rain through the DOR yesterday, which is not common in Southern California. These occur in high DOR environments with very strong and hard to suppress rain systems usually, like the Pacific Northwest.
How do they DORize when the cell towers have been neutralized? They go right to the people. They do it through the smart phones, and the LA area has tens of millions of those. When people have low consciousness and unhealthy bodies because of their smart phone addiction, they are easily controlled. This means not just the body, but the mind. It attacks the part of ourselves connected with God, and disables us as healers of ourselves, our loved ones, and our planet. It allows the mental pathways to be altered into evil thoughts, depression, weakness, hopelessness, and many other negative emotions. The deadly energy is so contradictory to our natural resonance that it removes our manifesting ability to create rain (by this I mean assisting this natural process, as we only have dominion of this Earth, not ownership), and have a clean and beneficial environment.
Since the few planetary healers have such a strong OR energy, and the towers have been gifted, drought is no longer an issue. We intend to continue creating OR rushes by gifting new areas in depth as we wait (maybe in vain) for the humans to overcome their DOR addiction and become real humans again, rather than iPhone controlled robots. We saw in people that we know, that they are no longer themselves. They have no control over what they do and say, and are absent in their own lives. The phone is everything to them. It was not discouraging, though, that we have become more distanced from the humans. The higher planes of consciousness are not reached all at once as a people, like the New Agers believe. They are also hopeless addicts. It is a one by one process, and only the non-users will get there. I hope anyone with the patience to read this whole article will consider how their minds will develop and their consciousness will expand to places they could not have imagined when they go into cell phone rehab.
Today the atmosphere in the mountains was clean and fresh, and the Earth felt revitalized. It’s amazing how we keep winning these battles. We’ve gotten stronger over these five years of planetary healing work.

Counselors for adolescent substance abuse
No kid feels that they will become dependent on drugs while they go through their teen years.
