Hey Guys,



To the most wonderful readers and friends a girl could ever hope for, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a truly happy and joyous New Year to come! May we all be healthy, prosperous, and truly happy in 2012. This past year has been a tough one for me, but it's also been filled with laughter, magic, and love. I take the good things with me as I go forward (and you guys are definitely one of those good things). To the writers and actors out here, we will never stop fighting on your behalf to keep this time honored, beloved genre alive. This genre has endured for generations because it is tightly woven into the fabric of our very hearts. These beautifully crafted, well-written stories must continue. They are relevant. These characters have come to feel like family for those of us who have been watching since we were children. As you can see, we have a powerful voice that has reverberated throughout the very halls at ABC. I know that many of you feel heartbroken as OLTL grows nearer and nearer to the end, but there are people behind the scenes trying very hard to get these shows back up and running. They are not dreamers and they are not without a plan (and they have no agenda like Prospect Park). If they succeed, our fondest wishes may indeed come true. A war is being waged right now behind the scenes that involves a certain company that won't give our beloved Agnes Nixon the rights to her own shows. Do not give up on these shows just yet my friends.

As for General Hospital, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to tune in now and keep tuning in no matter who is paired with who and no matter how you might feel about the shows current state. The only chance General Hospital has (and it's a slim one as you know) is if they prove to be a very strong lead in for Katie (and even that would only be a short term band aid), however it will buy the people who are trying to work out a deal behind the scenes, the time they need to include General Hospital in their plans. Please continue to watch and support General Hospital. If you truly love this genre and are truly looking at the bigger picture, this won't be a question mark for you. God bless each one of you and may your holidays be filled with love, laughter, good times, good food, and lots of hope for the coming New Year! I cannot begin to adequately thank you for all the love and support you have shown me this year so I will simply say that I love you. Now and always (and to the actors and writers at ABC, we have your backs, and we always will). XOXO! ♥

[> [> A true story about a message from heaven -- Marie, 12:22:28 12/26/11 Mon [1]

I have been thinking about you Raven and the wonderful people who come to your site. I want to share a true Holiday season story that happened to me a week before Christmas in 2009.

But before I do that, I want to tell you I truly believe you are going to live a lot longer than the doctors are predicting. I can't begin to tell you the stories I have heard of perfectly healthy people who have died unexpectedly, while people they are close to who are very ill, live on for years. Nobody knows when their time is up and a miracle can happen to anyone. Always keep faith, hope and love in your heart.

Now each and every one of us have to die eventually and my story is about the other side.

When I was 13 I remember being with my sick mom in the hospital standing by her bed. We were talking about dinner when she stated she saw her parents in the room. Said they were waiting to take her. I was a bit confused because they had both died by the time I was 5. My mother ended up dying later on that night. That was 35 years ago.

My dad was 90 and under hospice care in 2009. He talked about his family, specifically his parents and his FAVORITE COUSIN Leonard who had died about 10 years prior. They were very close. I assured him that when he died he would see them again and reminded him of my mother’s last words. He seemed a bit doubtful. My dad passed away in my home in the beginning of December of 2009.

A week before Christmas I was going through a box of pictures and took one out of his cousin Leonard and his wife. My father was born in Europe and his family lived in Germany and Poland. I had not visited there for over 25 years and had not talked to anyone for at least 20. The telephone rings and I leave his bedroom to go to answer it. It was his cousin Leonard’s daughter. I still had her father’s picture in my hand… I was dumbfounded. I had not talked to her in 20 years. She did not know my address, married name or telephone number. But she said for a week she had a great urge to seek me out. It took her son, who is very internet savvy, three hours of research to find me. She had found my father’s obituary and was shocked to see he had died only two weeks prior. She told me that she was an only child and so was I, but we have each other. (my dad always worried about dying and leaving me alone) Needless to say when I hung up the telephone all I could do was smile and think, my dad had sent me a message from heaven. I was right…and he was with his family again. It was the best Christmas present. It taught me not to fear death, because when my time comes, I just know my loving father will be standing there waiting for me.

God bless.

Belated Christmas/Holiday greetings to you. My prayers for your health and recovery go on till the end of this year and into the next as we need you to be strong and whole as we continue to wage this fight. Some may see it as pushing against a "brick wall", unyielding, immovable. Not true.
There is still much we can and will do to bring our shows back to the "iconic" status they enjoyed when people who cared about them were heading up their writing and production staffs and weren't subject to the agendas of others at higher levels. Quality and integrity are still prized commodities in this industry. And that's a bedrock foundation that soaps have always been built on. It's up to us to take these "tentpoles" and continue to raise them
without reservation. The casts and crews of these shows deserve no less. Love and hugs to you, darlin'. God's continued blessings...

I am just standing in agreement with everyone who is
speaking life and total healing 4 Raven in the coming
year. I really believe that prayer changes things and
if we all get on one accord and put positive feelings
out there in the universe in addition to our faith and
trust in God, it will only bring blessings to her and
her health. This is a fight we are all in 2gether, we
got U Raven. We are all there right with U praying 4
a divine intervention in your life. God Bless,,again
and again, and again...until it's done and you are
cancer free.
