​​​​CHAT FROM VcToria

Will ‘chat’ be short? Probably LOL. Why? I left for Thailand on January 8 2026.

​

But prior to that my year started out slowly!! For the first time in a long time, I did not have a reading on the first day of the year!! In fact, my first read did not arrive till the 3rd of January and then another in person on the 4th. Then they stopped!!

So off I went to get my international drivers license.  I also had to pay my corporate company yearly fee and since  my license plate expires in August, I renewed it for another year. 

​

Then I basically got the house ready, packed and on January 8th my son picked me up and drove me to the airport. First Air Canada sent out an email, telling us the flight from Vancouver that evening supposed to leave at 11.05 pm was delayed till five past midnight. BUT!! It still boarded later and then lo and behold as we taxied down the runway the captain comes on and says ’sorry folks, we have a passenger who says they are not feeling well and want to get off with their luggage so we are turning around’ !! WHAT???? Like you do not know you are feeling sick PRIOR to boarding and now you want your luggage as well????????? So, I have no control over this and back we went. One hour and half we sat in already squished seats while the sick person departed. We left Vancouver close to 2am. YUP 3 hours behind schedule already. Landed in Bangkok around 9.30am and mama mia what a massive airport to have to figure out on my own. Knowing my granddaughter [Kirsten] and her fiancé [Igor] were landing in under two hours from a Cathy Pacific flight I stayed. In all honesty if I had landed alone, I would have turned around, bought a ticket home and returned. I kid you not. Thailand was a STRANGE journey for me.

​

Anway safe to say they landed on time and had been upgraded to Premium for free!! They landed rested and in great spirits. From there Igor figured out the route and we took the train to the inner area of where our hotel was and from there called a Grab [taxi like Uber] and waited 22 minutes while we watched the most incredible traffic that I have ever seen. Scooters within inches of each other, driving at speeds that would kill if you touched anything. No helmets, some had 3-4 people on these scooters!!! It certainly filled up the time we had to wait. Along with that the actual car traffic it was mind boggling!! Just as speedy with no focus on keeping within lines LOL. To cross the road? The pedestrians just dodged the traffic and the traffic  dodged them!! A fascinating thing to watch as we waited.

​

Now from this point onwards after we found our hotel my intention was to ‘blog’ the journey as I had posted in January’s newsletter. That did not happen LOL. I did however post my days on Facebook and in March’s Newsletter I will hopefully have completed the entire Blog area with my journey as a memory and a place that those of you who still wish to read it can go and read.

​

I came home early. Why?? I think I will use the example of my emotions under the Spiritual Column below. But know that I am 100% sure that I do not enjoy solo travel and never ever will go traveling by myself nor actually with anyone who I do not have an easy-going rapport with.  

​

So just a list of what we did and then all of February I will hopefully update with photos and videos on my Blog. However, incase you do wish to see most of what I will be uploading you can search my personal name on Facebook and it is all there. Or wait 😊 Your choice.

​

Day 1 arrived in Bangkok, Got to the hotel. Walked around the market outside. Took a river cruise. Went to a nice shopping center and back to our hotel. [with Kirsten and Igor]

​

Day 2: Walked to the river partially. Took a Tuk Tuk the balance of the last kilometer. Bought a day pass for river boat. Saw the temples. Lunched at a vegan place and Kirsten and Igor ate outside then joined me. Bought a gorgeous purse. Back to the temples. Went for a foot massage. [10/10] Back to hotel. Then down to China Town. Had mango sticky rice. Kirsten and Igor took the fish foot bath. I headed back to the hotel around 10pm and they went out to bars.

​

Day 3: Kirsten and Igor went to Phi Phi and I flew to Chiang Mai by myself. By now Thailand time had entered my body. Up at 6am so I lay by the pool till Kirsten and Igor joined me around 9am. Off to the airport and split ways. This is where I discovered I HATED solo traveling. Once I arrived in Chiang Mai and checked into my hotel, I took myself to lunch.  Went out, walked around, took a 1-hour foot massage [ 7/10, not enough pressure] Then by 10pm I hit the bed that I must say was so comfortable. Watched the English news 😊

​

Day 4: Another 6am wake up by the body!! But since I will be covering ALL of my week in Chiang Mai in my blog lets cut this short. I went out, did a lot of the same stuff every day, temples, markets, massages, food and of course the fall by the pool that took me to the hospital.

​

Day 5-9 Same as above. Weather was around 25C all the time with no humidity.

​

Day 10: Flew to Ao Nang, Krabi. Met up with Kirsten and Igor. Days 10 to 15 we ate, went to the beach, saw monkeys, took in an ethical elephant sanctuary, climbed 1260 steps to see the largest buddha, went to markets, massages etc.

​

I was supposed to return February 3rd while Kirsten and Igor would leave on January 24 2026. I had never booked a hotel after the 24th as my initial plan was to decide where in Thailand I wanted to stay for my last 10 days. BUT!!!!! I knew that I did not want to stay at all. I changed my flight and flew home on the 25th January.

​

Came home to orders that I am fulfilling, the first day back my phone rang to book a double appointment for February 1st. I am now 100% sure that the next decision will be taken. Will I get a cat or cats?? Or sell and downsize. This is being undertaken in my mind as I type and settle back into trying to get the day time back as my awake time LOL. I am still on Thailand time and although I landed on Sunday I slept for hours. It is 6am Tuesday [27th] and I have been up since 2am.

​

Managed to get some groceries while sending an order from the post office and it looks like in next months newsletter I will be introducing a cat. Still trying hard to switch over to Edmonton time but I think today [Wednesday 28th] I have managed.

​

And that is chat folks. The emotions will be talked about as I stated in the Spiritual Column below 😊

VcToria's Spiritual Advice
EMOTIONS

I speak about emotions to many. My clients all have a different understanding of how they feel and thus the conversation of emotions is discussed. Each and everyone will have a different take on the labeling of such.

​

LONELINESS: This I find a huge one for folks. I have never felt lonely in the sense of desperation. This is how I understand that feeling. People who have no will to live. Those who attempt suicide. The lack of trying to change the situations they find themselves in. Giving up without looking for purpose.  

​

I will correct myself on never having felt it. I have in the way of ‘this is not what I need to have as a life’. But I actually undertook change. I took my 3 cats, rented a van and took what I would need for my business and clothes and drove across Canada. I wrote a book about it. NOT to share my life but to show that sometimes you are not where you need to be and once you shift then the Universe provides. To shift ALL emotions, you have to make change. [BOOK: Then Now and Forever by VcToria Gray-Cobb]

 

ACCEPTANCE: The majority of folks I speak with have created this emotion. They wake up, do stuff, pay bills, watch TV, talk to family etc. and continue with their lives on somewhat of a ‘every day is the same’ basis. If you ask them how their emotions feel they say “I am OK”.

​

CONTENTMENT: This is the emotion I feel most of the time. I have a past that I can compare emotions to. For this I am happy to be able to. When I wake up, I want to get up and these are words I use with many of my clients. You truly have to want to get up and begin your day with contentment. But to feel that you must be content with how you choose to build the life you are living.

The worst anyone can do is depend on feeling content/happy ONLY because you have someone in your life. Because when you move on or lose that person you will have to change the emotions that you now will feel. So, by accepting that you yourself have enough within your OWN emotions to be content you will feel an acceptance of change when you are alone.

 

BUT!! And this brings me to why I came home early from Thailand. I experienced emotions I had never ever felt before. And that for me was strange.  VERY strange as I thought I had truly experienced all emotions in my life. But no, these were inner sad emotions that appeared for NO reason!!!!

​

As I stepped off the plane in Bangkok as I said on ‘chat’ the feelings of ‘what the heck am I doing here’ came over me like a ton of bricks. If I had not been meeting my granddaughter and her fiancé I would have gone to the Air Canada counter and found out when the next flight would return and have headed back to Canada without even leaving the airport. I kid you not. But I stayed and met up with Kirsten and Igor a few hours later.

​

Bangkok was fine while I was with them but not ecstatically so. It had nothing to do with the company; I LOVED being with them. It was the inner feeling of ‘why am I doing this’. It would not shift. Once we parted ways I was on my own in Chiang Mai for a week.

 

Now I did things. Anyone who knows me will attest that I will do anything on my own if need be. I took myself to eat, to markets, to temples, to massages etc. etc. I met up with a UK person who was there for a month. Every second day we met up. But whether I was doing things with her, or by myself the emotion of ‘what are you doing here’ would not leave.

​

Once I met back up with Kirsten and Igor the same feeling stayed. But it was a sad, sad feeling. No matter what we did, beaches, boating, markets, elephant sanctuary, temples etc. etc. the empty feeling would not shift.

​

How did I analyze it? Well Kirsten kept saying it was because I was in a different country. But truly should that not mean I was having a great time exploring the beauty of the beaches, sunsets, etc. etc.? Because Thailand is truly beautiful. The people are happy; the food is great and the weather? Oh my, what can I say about the weather? FANTASTIC. As most know I love heat and that certainly did not impair my actions. I can climb in heat, walk in heat, sunbathe in heat. Heat was not my issue. It was deep seated sadness with no explanation other than I must have had a past life in Thailand full of sadness. That is the only explanation I can come up with.

​

WHY?? Kirsten and Igor were heading back on the 24th to Bangkok. I chose to fly back on the same day but go home from there. Rather than stay with them on their last  two days.

​

I thought about all that I would have done in the 10 days if I had chosen to stay. My return ticket was for February 3rd. Hotels are not my fave; I find the walls very thin but that was not the issue. I thought to myself I would be doing the same things every day and the 14 days I had already been there brought no inner joy while doing all of the actions. I saw the beauty in the surroundings, enjoyed the food, LOVED the company but it did not bring the emotion ‘contentment’ that I lived with at home. So, I flew home.

 

LANDING: Son was there to pick me up and drive me home and the feeling of contentment as I walked to the exit at the airport returned. I cannot tell you how relieved I was to come back home to the life I have built for myself and KNOW that this is the right path. That I have no need to travel. I am where I am supposed to be. When you create change to have answers they are shown to you.

​

My only advice to those who cannot feel that amazing feeling of ‘I am so happy to be where I am with my emotions’ is do what I did. Take that chance and move on. Find the path you are supposed to travel. Do not say ‘I cannot’ for if you believe that then you are training your emotions to always feel the source of ‘acceptance’ but not ‘contentment’. Trust me, the power in ‘contentment’ is the inner joy of life.

 MY OPINION

​

THIS IS MY OPINION AND YOU CAN CHOOSE TO AGREE OR DISAGREE 

​

 

Americans ditch cheese after learning Pfizer's ingredient is now found in 90% of dairy products.

 

VcToria Comments: and if you think other things are not being added then you are a fool. Same with anything that is governed by killing or tortured and so called chemicals [ v-cinnes- u know what I mean] are added.

 

Many Americans were surprised to learn that roughly 90 percent of cheese contains a lab-made enzyme developed by Pfizer, and it does not have to be labeled. 

 

The ingredient, known as fermentation-produced chymosin (FPC), is a genetically engineered version of rennet, an enzyme used to coagulate milk during cheesemaking. 

Jacob Vishof Paulsen, the company's EVP of EMEA & North America, previously described newer versions of the enzyme as a 'game changer,' noting they allow cheesemakers to extract up to one percent more yield from the same amount of milk, a significant gain in an industry with tight margins.

 

Despite these efficiencies, consumer advocates have argued that the lack of transparent labeling is the real issue.

 

According to the American Cheese Society and cheesemaking culture companies, roughly 90 percent of North American cheese is made with FPC rennet.

 

'But ingredient labels do not distinguish between this type of microbial rennet and the original non-GMO type,' the American Cheese Society stated.

 

'And the fact that use of FPC-type microbial rennet is not labeled a GMO leaves those who oppose GMOs in the dark when it comes to choosing cheese.'

 

However, ingredient labels do not distinguish between genetically engineered rennet and non-GMO alternatives.

 

Some companies list 'non-animal rennet' on the packaging, which means it contains FPC. 

Scientists and regulators counter that genetically engineered food enzymes like FPC pose no greater risk than conventional foods. 

 

Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the European Food Safety Authority have long supported the safety of properly tested GMO products. 

Some cheeses do not require rennet at all, including cottage cheese, cream cheese, paneer, and certain types of mozzarella, which are made using acid or alternative coagulants. 

 

USDA-certified organic cheese also prohibits the use of fermentation-produced chymosin, making it an option for consumers seeking to avoid the enzyme.

 

While the FDA continues to stand by its GRAS determination, the uproar highlights a broader debate over food regulation. 

 

Under US law, GRAS substances do not require FDA approval or notification before marketing. 

 

Former FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods Michael Taylor acknowledged flaws in the system in 2014, stating: 'We simply do not have the information to vouch for the safety of many of these chemicals.' 

 

Cheesemakers can use several different forms of rennet, but for hundreds of years, animal-based rennet was the standard. 

 

This traditional rennet is extracted from the fourth stomach lining of an unweaned calf, where the enzyme naturally helps young animals digest milk. 

 

Because calves produce far higher concentrations of rennet than adult cattle, the enzyme must be harvested early in the animal's life.

 

The extracted rennet is not pure chymosin, as it typically contains a mixture of chymosin, pepsin and other proteins. 

 

Since rennet can be obtained only once from a single calf, supply is limited, and production costs are high. As demand for cheese surged in the late 20th century, the industry increasingly viewed animal rennet as inefficient and unsustainable.

 

And FPC offered a solution with scientists isolating the gene responsible for chymosin production and inserting it into a microorganism such as bacteria, yeast or mold. 

 

The organism is then grown in large fermentation tanks, producing chymosin in bulk. After fermentation, the enzyme is filtered and purified, resulting in chymosin that is chemically identical to the enzyme found in calves, without the need for animal slaughter.

KALE CHIPS

​

 

Honestly as I have been away not much cooking was done. So, I made my favorite snack upon getting home Kale Chips. I know I have posted this before but I get many people who are new to my newsletter plus some that unsubscribe and some I delete through lack of engagement 😊

​

So here is my healthy snack. 😊 I use a dehydrator but I am sure that you can use an air fryer as well.

Buy as many bunches of kale that you like. Take a bowl and just take the kale off the stalks in rips. Use one bunch at a time for this recipe. Or you can leave the stalk on. I prefer no stalks.

​

Add about 5-6 tablespoons of olive oil and maybe 1-2 teaspoons of Himalayan sea salt. I LOVE nutritional yeast power on mine so I sprinkle all over with this. Then mix till the olive oil is all over the kale.

​

Add that kale mix to your dehydrator upon a Teflon sheet.  Or to your air fryer

To keep them raw with the most mineral content etc. set the heat to under 95F. if you want them quickly them set your heat to 125F. When they are crisp take them out and enjoy.
