Let’s elaborate…
Ok but let’s be for real right now…
𝙏𝙖𝙮𝙡𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙩 is a mid-thirties woman who writes about 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴, tragedies, life, love, loss, etc. and she shares that with the world via musical art.
She DID NOT write any of these songs for YOUR 7-year-old to sit in the corner with a glass of wine and cry to.
She wrote them from the perspective of a 34-year-old woman.
It is NOT HER RESPONSIBILITY to write age-appropriate songs for your children to listen to.
Go find veggie tales.
“But Noelle….my young daughter loves her and looks up to her. She should be making music for the young girls looking up to her.”
So does my child. And I allow him to listen to all 𝙏𝙖𝙮𝙡𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙩 but that is my personal parenting choice. You, as a parent, decide what your child listens to. And again …
It is NOT HER RESPONSIBILITY to write age appropriate songs for your children to listen to.
I was singing all sorts of songs at age 13 that I shouldn’t have known all the lyrics too…but I did. At that age, I didn’t even understand what I was really singing. Now I do. But I don’t blame the artist who made the music for me knowing all the inappropriate lyrics to countless songs.
Another flex…I also don’t blame my parents for that.
You shouldn’t either.
𝙏𝙖𝙮𝙡𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙩 should not have to write ONLY about Christian values or not use the word fuck in her lyrics because you don’t believe in cursing. If it offends you, listen to the clean version or just don’t listen at all.
We ALL have different beliefs and hold different values.
Some people never use the word fuck and would never.
Some of us use it in every sentence.
But it’s not her responsibility to “get you into heaven” with her music and lyrics.
But it’s not her responsibility to “get you into heaven” with her music and lyrics.
And 3.
It’s 2024.
We are no longer SHAMING women. Period.
For dating experiences.
Sexual experiences.
Body image.
What they wear.
And we sure as hell are not shaming women for
SPEAKING THEIR TRUTH
And healing out loud.
YOU don’t get to choose how someone else heals their heart or lives their life.
And also…in 2024, we are lifting other women up and straightening their crowns. We are clapping when they win and succeed. Even if someone doesn’t like her music, they’d be a fool to call her untalented and not be able to at least acknowledge and appreciate her success and artistic talent.
Why are people so torn up over someone’s (or anyone else’s) life or choices when it doesn’t even affect them personally.
And I would make this same argument for anyone.
Not just my girl TayTay.
It is fine to have beliefs and stand strong in your truths and convictions, but religion and politics are DESTROYING this world.
And if you know, you know.
And if you don’t know, you’re probably too deep into it to see and understand the bigger picture.

The following are considerations from me, Linda Hourihan, HHCP:
Indoctrinations comes in many forms. I am a proponent of freedom and free will. Parents cannot change the culture of the world to fit their personal and narrow belief systems. Rather than censorship, these are teaching moments upon which to capitalize.
The Laws of Thermodynamics teach humanity that when you fight against a concept, the stronger you make its resistance. These are transformative moments. Teach by your own example.
Did you know that aside from her headline-making move to give $ 100,000 bonuses to her tour truck drivers, Swift has been quietly donating to local food banks and hunger relief organizations in the areas she visits on her tour? She does, according to https://www.today.com/food/news/taylor-swift-food-bank-donations-eras-tour-rcna99288.
This is an intelligent young woman who stood up against the music industry when they told her she would never make it and declined to take her on as a client, as part of their system. Instead of taking no for an answer, she showed the entire male-dominated music industry what a personal belief in herself, dedication and hard work can do when like-minded Souls put their minds to their goals.
This is how to manifest dreams into realities. This is what parents ought to be teaching their children.

In the year 567 A.D., the Council of Tours proclaimed the 12 Days of Christmas, lasting from Christmas until Epiphany, as a sacred and festive season. The song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, was published in England in 1780 without music, as a chant, or rhyme. It is thought to be of French origin. Though the melodies have changed over the years, the standard tune now comes from a 1909 arrangement of a traditional folk melody by English composer, Frederic Austin, who introduced the prolonged “five gold rings.”
How many of us are familiar with the Christian meanings behind the song, The 12 Days of Christmas? When do the 12 days of Christmas start and when end within the Christmas Season of celebrations?
The 12 Days of Christmas begins with the Christmas Feast Day, which the Church put on December 25, and concludes 13 days later, when the Church celebrates the Feast of Epiphany.
Why was the Christian song written in such veiled language?
Christians within the first centuries were often persecuted, even to death, which is why The 12 Days of Christmas was written with ordinary things masking extra-ordinary meanings. Let’s take a closer look at the song, The 12 Days of Christmas, and meditate on the deeper reflections behind each one:
1) The Partridge in a pear tree: represents Jesus, Son of the Father in heaven, whose birthday we celebrate on the first day of Christmas. Jesus Christ is symbolically present as a mother partridge, the only bird that will die to protect her young.
2) Two Turtle Doves: represents the Old Testament and the New Testament, so the gift of the singer finds the complete story of the Judeo-Christian faith and God’s plan for the world.
3) Three French Hens: represents faith, hope and love.
4) Four Calling Birds: represents the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
5) Five Gold Rings: represents the first five books of the Old Testament, also known as the Torah, or the Pentateuch.
6) Six Geese a Laying: represents each “egg” as a new day in creation, a time when the world was “hatched,” as in formed by God.
7) Seven Swans a Swimming: represents the seven signs of the Holy Spirit:
1.prophecy
2. ministry
3. teaching
4. exhortation
5. giving
6. leading
7. compassion
As swans are one of the most beautiful and graceful creatures on earth, they seemed to be the perfect symbol of the spiritual gifts.
8) Eight Maids a Milking: As Christ came to save even the lowest of the low, this gift represents the ones who would receive His word and accept His grace. Being a milkmaid was about the worst job one could have in England during this time. This showed Jesus cared as much about servants as He did those of royal blood. The eight who were blessed were:
1. poor in spirit
2. those who mourn
3. the meek
4. those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
5. the merciful
6. the pure in heart
7. the peacemakers
8. those who are persecuted for righteousness sake
9) Nine Ladies Dancing: represents gifts of the Holy Spirit:
1. love
2. joy
3. peace
4. patience
5. kindness
6. generosity
7. faithfulness
8. gentleness
9. self-control
10) Ten Lords a Leaping: represents the judges as lords following the law, the Ten Commandments
11) Eleven Pipers Piping: represents the disciples minus Judas, since there were 11 men who carried out the gospel message
12) Twelve Drummers Drumming: represents the 12 points of doctrine in the Apostles Creed:
1. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth
2. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord
3. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and was
4. Born of the Virgin Mary
5. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried
6. He descended into hell
7. On the third day He rose again
8. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father
9. He will come again to judge the living and the dead
10. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) Church, the communion of saints
11. The forgiveness of sins
12. The resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
My Christmas wish for you is that your heart is filled with as much faith, hope and love that it can possibly hold; and that you be a beacon of this good cheer so that it overflowers your heart, into your families, neighborhoods, countries and the world.
God Bless Everyone Everywhere
It is said that, before a pivotal battle, Emperor Constantine saw a cross in the sky and took it to mean if he converted to Christianity, he would win the battle. So he did. (Such a wonderful reason for turning to the peaceful teachings of Christ). In 324, he named the Christian religion, which had up until then, to one degree or another, been a reason for persecution by the government, to be the official religion of Rome.
His successor, Julian, didn’t feel the same way. He wanted to return to the old order of pagan gods and Christian persecution. At the Council of Laodicea, Julian and the bishops who were invited (300 out of a thousand) decided that, among other things, any stories of women being of prominence in the religion would be squashed, as would stories of fallen angels taking on human qualities and walking the earth. Other things discarded were the stories of the multiple “gods” who ruled the earth in early times, or their several re-incarnations. Most of what was found in Nag Hamadi and some of what was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls was left out.
What was going on in the Christian religion at the time?
Let’s see, there was Pope Liberius who was exiled by the emperor who then installed Felix II in 355 AD. Felix II was one of the anti-popes. The Council of Laodicea was held in 363 AD and 364 AD to establish what stories would be told in the Christian religion. The emperor Julian died in 363 AD. Then the leadership of the Roman Empire suffered some very quick successions, and between 363 and 366 there were four different Roman emperors, some ruling simultaneously. When Felix II died in 366, the Christian people elected Usinius to be pope.
At the time, however, the people’s choice also had to be run by the emperor for his ratification, and Damasus, who also wanted to be pope, and who had supported the high-born followers of Felix II the anti-pope, hired a bunch of thugs to masacre the followers of Usinius. Usinius was exiled and Damasus became pope.
Strangely, Usinius (the people’s choice) was called the anti-pope. Damasus, (obviously the emperor’s choice,) was now the pope. He decided to solidify the findings of the Council of Laodicea that had been held during the Papacy of Felix II the anti-pope while Liberious (the real pope) was in exile. Those findings decided which books would be entered as the official bible of the Christian religion. The word of God?
Suffice it to say that at this time the scriptures were massaged to closely mirror the patriarchal society of Rome more than the more gender equal structure of the Christian religion.
What if The First Book of Adam and Eve, The Second Book of Adam and Eve, The Second Book of Enoch, The Origin of the World, and The Revelation of Adam and others were all dropped from the scriptures in attempts to make the Christian religion more palatable to Roman society?
These things did happen 364 years after the death of Jesus. If these scriptures weren’t dropped from the canon of the Christian church, we might still believe that Original Sin wasn’t Eve’s fault, or the fault of humans at all?
But back to the story of the offspring of Adam and Eve. We know the name of Seth, but nowhere in the Bible do we see the name of Eve’s third daughter. The name Norea or its variations, Oriea or Horiea, have been said in one early scripture or another to have been either the re-embodiment of Sophia, or the wife of Noah, or the feminine form of Adam, but in The Reality of the Rulers (a scripture that was left out of the modern-day bible) Norea is said to have been the younger sister of Seth. It says that since they are both in the line of the pure race, born of both Adam and Eve, they married and began the propagation of the pure race of humanity.
But to many of the early Christians, the story of Cain and Able was different from the one we have heard, and Seth and Norea were real. And Norea was not subservient, not to anyone, not even the blood-thirsty god of the Old Testament.
The stories left out of our bible explained what was meant when Valentinus and Jesus both said there are three kinds of humans:

The quote on the bottom of the front cover of the book, Reincarnation The Missing Link In Christianity by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, is from Brian L. Weiss, M.D., author of the book Many Lives, Many Masters. It says, “This is an extremely important book, a book providing profound insight and truth, a book which will open minds and remove fears.”
My dear friend, Pat, who in this life worked as a psychiatric nurse along side Weiss, and knew first hand his experiences with people who were healed of extreme stress, reoccurring nightmares, and phobias which affected their daily lives, through past-life regression. Through hypnosis sessions, many patients who sought Weiss for relief no longer had the same debilitating condition after his treatments.
I met Pat at one of the New Paradigm Multidimensional Transformation (NPMDT) classes I was teaching. She loved the class so much she also attended the nine-day upgrade class held by John Armitage in Raymond, New Hampshire with me. He and Germain are the founders of NPMDT, which I describe as the energy work which taps into the highest form of vibrancy frequency transformation available on the planet. I am a Reiki Master Teacher, and taught Reiki all over New England. However, after being attuned to the NPMDT frequencies, I no longer do energy work with lower frequency vibrations. There is no competition between Reiki energy work and NPMDT. Both have the same start. Germain continues to work with Armitage to this day, which is what I choose to use and teach.
Meeting Pat was an eye-opening experience into new thinking about the reality of reincarnation. My life lesson came in an unexpected way. First, she was so impressed with NPMDT that she asked if I would do energy work on her sister, Amy, while she got a massage in the next therapy room. I told her I would. Pat and Amy came regularly for their therapy sessions. Amy was diagnosed with liver cancer and was trying to alleviate some of the pain.
At the end of her life, Pat asked me if I would go to Amy’s house to give her NPMDT. Amy had been asking for all her friends and family to come by before she passed on from this world. The last time I saw Amy she was bright and smiling, and full of joy. At the end of her session, she calmly said, “Good bye Lin.” She had a huge smile on her face. I stopped before leaving her room, as if I never left, she wouldn’t die. I finally said, “Good bye Amy,” and finally closed the door softly behind me.
Pat had spent her last dime on costly medicines for Amy, and was her personal nurse in these last days. In the process, Pat also died of cancer. Just before Pat’s death, Pat asked me to come to give her a NPMDT session also. I found the same cheerful joy in Pat as I had seen in Amy. What was it that gave both of them such peace on their dead beds?
Pat and Amy had firm beliefs in reincarnation. Pat and I would discuss this many times in my eight year friendship with her. I came from a strict Catholic upbringing since childhood, before first hearing about reincarnation in my metaphysical education in my life’s work. I would consider the possibility, then retreat through fear and doubt back into Christianity. I never knew that Jesus taught about reincarnation.
Consider the teaching Jesus gave, saying that unless a person be “born again” the person would not receive eternal life. Jesus taught us to be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect, which is hard to do in just one lifetime.
I always wondered why God allowed children to die, or young adults to die in horrific car accidents, or a host of other questions that Christian churches seem to have no answer for, other than, “Good needed them.” Why on earth would the God of all creation, the God of infinite eternity, need the death of a child, when God is so powerful as to create something from nothing? That answer still rings hollow to my mind to this very day. There is more.
How did Giordano Bruno, a Dominican monk, and philosopher come to earn the Roman Catholic Church’s ultimate punishment, burning at the stake in the year 1600 A.D.? It was because of his firm belief in reincarnation, coupled with his belief that God dwells within each person, which is precisely what Jesus taught.
Some bibles translate “within” you to “among” you, a whole different meaning. But if you go back to the Interlinear Bible Hebrew-Greek-English published in 2018, it specially says that Jesus said, “the Kingdom of God is within you.”
This is how the power struggle to win the minds and hearts of most of Christianity came to be where it is today, based on a foundation of fear and control by threatening punishments, eternal and otherwise. Most rational people no longer believe in hell, purgatory, or limbo with its torturous threats hanging overhead.
Pat and Amy believed in reincarnation. I had numerous discussion with Pat at my therapy clinics after work. She would graciously drive out to one of my four offices, or we would go out to eat at Olive Garden, or simply get coffees and share knowledge in comfortable Barnes and Noble chairs. Her persistent and confident knowledge, and sharing the work of Dr. Brian Weiss with me, began to change the way I thought about life and death. Reincarnation began making much more sense to me.
I suggest this book for further research on reincarnation, if you are interested. Education is not a bad thing. People do not only have to take in knowledge from only one source. Actually taking in information from only one source is a horrible way to make any decision. Just take a look at the world of politics these days. I recommend always getting the most information available on any subject before making such life and death decisions.
Have a beautiful day!

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” This is an excerpt from
American poet Emma Lazarus’ sonnet “The New Colossus.” It was engraved on a bronze plaque and mounted inside the lower level of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in 1903. It was and is intended to welcome immigrants to the United States of America.
Who are the immigrants of today? Do they arrive tired, poor, and huddling in a mass of humanity, with hopes and dreams of a safer, better future? Did our own grandparents and their grandparents generations before us arrive in this way? Might our own ancestors have traveled across dangerous oceans, deplorable and inhuman conditions, hungry and spent from the land they left?
My ancestors traveled down from Canada. Yes, this is one border of the United States. Just last month, amid moose, fox and deer, I drove to the Canadian border. I was not met with soldiers, nor vigilantes with guns, threatening my life. I was not in fear of losing my life coming or going. My family tree continues across the Atlantic Ocean, to the south of France. It most likely goes further, but it is where I presently stopped searching.
My husband’s family roots also come from across the Atlantic Ocean, to Ireland, once struck with a potato famine and war. Immigrants want better living conditions, and more humane treatment.
My family is not alone. Unless you are a native born American Indian, and might I add Spanish or Mexican back in the days of and prior to the Louisiana Purchase, everyone one of us are immigrants, or descendants of immigrants.
Why do modern day “Americans” feel the need to close the borders? The greater paradox is that it seems to be the Christian right-wing, proposing to be Christian, a group that at least according to the Bible ought to taking care of the poor and hungry and destitute among us, that appear to be fueling the fire of small-mindedness.
Closed minds that also want to close borders, do not solve the problem.
There is a way to deal with crime, gun/drug/sex trafficking, and terrorism, without punishing innocent people who are seeking a better life. Criminals need to be dealt with law abiding justice. But not all criminals are immigrants, and not all immigrants are criminals. It is not a criminal act to immigrate to this country.
Contrary to the arguments given by some, immigrants will not take all our money, nor all our jobs. They are also not receiving the benefits they are often accused of receiving. But if they are working in this country (at jobs few of us would take), they ARE paying taxes that they do not reap the benefit of.
Every single one of our family ancestors who immigrated to this country did not have to go through the complicated channels that immigrants have to today. The small-minded thinking creeps in when we say things like, “My ancestors immigrated to this country, but they did it legally.” The term “legally” is really hysterical when you accurately remember just what it was that our parents, grandparents and generations before us did when they merely walked through Ellis Island. In some cases they only had to sign their name, and if they could not write, they simply had to make an “X.”
The immigration process today is being investigated by all involved. It’s about time. With all our education and technology we have in this world today, this problem is not beyond solving.
Emma Lazarus agreed.
Lazarus was born July 22, 1849. She was raised a Sephardic Jew, and displayed an early talent for poetry. She attracted the notice of Ralph Waldo Emerson with her first book, Poems and Translations (1867). After this, her poem “The New Colossus”, written in 1883, was chosen to be displayed at the Statue of Liberty.
She is not alone in recognizing the human hopes and dreams of immigrants.
