First, I am leaving for Thailand January 8th 2026. If you wish to fly with me, please email me. I am booked with Air Canada. Flight to Vancouver and then direct to Bangkok. If anyone wants to tag along, please join the Facebook group. We are looking for over 50 years of age 😊 Why? There is a tendency to get along better in near age or physical abilities 😊 Plus most of us by a certain age lose interest in clubbing etc. Anyway, if you are interested?

Now for my EXTREMELY busy month. I wish to thank the Universe for the amazing weather that allowed me to chill on my patio with supper, book and enjoyment most evenings.
However, my days were filled. September 1st my staycation was over. Literally every single day I had either Zoom calls [that strangely enough were the most I have ever had in a month] and in person reads. I literally had to take one day off it was so busy. Even up to the day before I was leaving for Fort MacMurray, I thought I had the day off BUT!! I then got a call from two out of town folks, one of who was a student who took all my online classes so I said ‘yes’ I will book you.
On the 4th of September I had the tooth out that I thought was giving me the headaches. At first it appeared I had not made the right decision but now they seem to have subsided. Funny, I have never gotten headaches in my life. As I wrote about in one of the previous newsletters the dental work that I had done in March 2025 left me with massive headaches from the moment I walked out the door. That is why I had them remove the capped back tooth. My buddy Janice and her hubby picked me up and brought me home where as per usual I slept the anesthesia off and awoke feeling fine. 😊
Orders on my webstore were massive I kid you not. Funnily enough the minute I booked Thailand the Universe said ‘here is the money you need for that ticket’ and it came from orders. 😊 Fulfilled them all and said a massive THANK YOU to the Angels. Now I am working extra hard to have the hotels paid for before I leave 😊
I chose to attend the free yoga classes that the open house offers every year. I do not know why, but I did not enjoy it as much as I have in previous years and even cancelled the third class.
Family: September 7th my son and I went to Jerusalem Shawarma for supper. The place was packed but even though they offer a vegan dish I was not overly thrilled with it. My son could not get vinegar for his fish and chips as no one in the entire place knew what vinegar was. I kid you not!!
Then on September 11th my grandson and his girlfriend and I drove to The Moth a vegan place for supper. They must have changed cooks as the food was not what I recall. AND!! Once again, no desert that I requested was available. A long drive to be disappointed. But the visit was GREAT 😊
Lastly my granddaughter came into town on September 19th. I picked her up at the airport and had an 11pm supper at Earls and dropped her at my sons around 1am. Yes, I LOVE the night 😊 Then on the Monday [22nd] my buddy Janice came over and we picked up my granddaughter and the three of us headed to The Green Turtle that was OUT OF BUSINESS. Strange as it had only been in business a short while. Back onto the road and drove over to the south side Padmanadi’s and had a nice vegan lunch and chit chat. Then dropped off Janice and Kirsten and I headed to the airport and stopped at The Premium Outlets beside the airport. I had never been there and I do have to say, although very quiet people wise, the prices are GREAT. I actually bought myself a pair of running shoes and since Kirsten had a birthday in August and I had not seen her I made sure she was gifted with things she chose to buy 😊 A wallet, a purse to match and some vitamins etc. from the health store. Then we had a bite to eat and then drove quickly over the short distance to the airport and said ‘goodbye’. I will see her in October and also THAILAND as we are going on the same dates. 😊 More on my trip as it gets closer.
The rest of the month? HOLY MOLY!! First my apple tree!! I have been picking baskets of apples, way more than last year, and juicing and freezing the juice. I am out of glass jars now! Mowed the lawn and am slowly closing my garden. Had the guy come and close my irrigation system. Used my thingy that washes things with a strong stream of water to clean the outside of my house. Made three batches of chocolate chip cookies YUM! Made some vegan spaghetti sauce and will be taking that to Fort Mac.
NETFLIX: Love Con Revenge that I gave a 5/10. I cannot understand how woman get conned like this. ANYONE asking for money, do not walk away, RUN AWAY. My gad if you have to support someone think about why you are that desperate. And honestly that is the only reason I watched it to the end. I cannot believe how people think love is giving money away. Then I watched Blackout that I gave it a 7/10. Watched the movie Anyone But You with Sydney Sweeny and I think that is why so many people watched it LOL Gave it a 7/10. Lastly, I have started to watch Sneaky Pete and am on the first episodes.
Life has been EXCEPTIONALLY busy business wise this month so after my daily walk that tops all with priority, I follow with taking care of business 😊 Then my resting time, and lastly any major work around the house or outside.
OH yes, after the cool down from the wonderful heat some of my corn grew. Then the massive sized carrots were dug up. Juiced into my apple juice. Along with the cucumbers, I also got green beans and later today will be doing the rest of the rhubarb from the garden. Quite the feast I have managed to harvest and of course apple juice replaces the green juice that I drink daily. Until I run out of apple juice, I no longer need to buy the green juice items. 😊
AND 😊 Today is the 29th and I am back safely from Fort McMurray. Drove up and admired the changing colors in the leaves on the last 200 KM stretch and driving home they were even lovelier. I only had a couple of hours of daylight left as I drove home right after the show, but never the less was pleased to see the beauty of nature as I drove. GREAT show as always and treated like royalty there. No wonder I support this show.
I now have a FULL six weeks at home but already find I am booked solidly for the first week of October. Funnily enough with four house parties in this first week. I kid you not. Not complaining.
And ending off with have a GREAT October as the leaves turn to the gorgeous reds, oranges and yellows. Know that winter is just around the corner and as per usual the people who complain about the heat will no doubt complain about the cold. I wish people who live within the four seasons would just enjoy the weather that is offered daily. After all, you can choose to live elsewhere but having chosen Albertan weather or the four seasons type of weather ENJOY and stop whining. That is all I read about on Facebook. Never fails LOL. People do not seem to enjoy the life they choose. I always say, if you are not happy change the structure of your life. Fear is often the only emotion one uses to not correct their path and it is sad that you allow this emotion to grow from within. ENJOY the vacation from the ‘true home’ where one day we all return. Find the calling of that which no doubt you have chosen to experience to enlighten yourself to a higher vibration, or another space in the Universe to reside. Trust me, every time I create a change more marvelous things take place. Get out of the ‘stuck’ that so many people fear leaving. 😊 My words of wisdom for this month.
Have a GREAT month and do not forget to meditate. Change is shown when you rest and touch the soul energy where the map of your true life resides.

MY OPINION
​
THIS IS MY OPINION AND YOU CAN CHOOSE TO AGREE OR DISAGREE
​
FOR EDMONTONIONS: Then the last part will be for Canadians 😊 Keeping in mind this is MY OPINION!!!
October 20th 2025, we get to vote the dumbest mayor in history out of Edmonton. I hope all of you who voted for him are enjoying the taxes you now pay monthly to own a home. What exactly did this mayor do other than drop his job when the Federal election came up to run for the LIBERAL candidacy. Then lost and came back to his job as mayor and nobody said a word !!! Amazing how you all accept his choices. And of course he is not running again, as he knows he was/is the most unpopular mayor rivaling with Nenshi when he was mayor of Calgary.
I was and I repeat was, going to vote for Tim Cartmell but after hearing him speak at the TV event where he let his options for us be known and what his platform is that he is running on I changed my mind. Why?? My pet peeve is someone who cannot speak properly and enters into public speaking of some kind. His speech was punctuated with ‘er’ ‘er’ ‘er’ ‘er’ er’ and that takes him out of the race for me. Stephen Knack is 100% NOT my choice. Did you see how long he wore a mask at the town hall meetings? FOREVER!!! If he gets in, trust me Edmonton will be masked up at the slightest sneeze. Who I liked was Omar Mohammad but I am not sure if he has enough experience. I liked what he said for lowering taxes on homes etc. BUT!! My vote is going to go to Rahim Jaffer . He speaks eloquently and has a great platform of change that I believe he will implement. He is also a Life Path 9 in Numerology and that guarantees he will work for the people. He also has experience in the House of Commons and is a Conservative. No, I do not care about his arrest in the past. People change from lessons they learn from stupidity.
For CANADIANS: So, Carney got voted in on the ‘I will tariff Donald item for item”. Then backed down on the digital tax right away and cost us billions that would have been brought in. Why? Donald threatened him and he backed off. Now??? Has Carney really truly done anything yet? I said I would wait and give him a chance. Well, I have waited. So far, we clearly have the Mexico/United States and Canada agreement in place [CUSMA] and that is protecting us NOT Carney. All Carney has done is take his eye pleasing smile around the world and captured what I see to be his narcissist way of saying what people ‘want to hear’ and then doing what he wants.
​
Spring budget for 2025 in Canada? NONE!! Fall budget for Canada? Been delayed till November 4th Why? I do not know. Not like there has not been enough time to get it out. My thoughts? They are waiting for the Bank of Canada to announce another interest cut on October 30th and they will quickly make adjustments if there is another rate cut. BUT!! Rate cuts mean the economy is doing badly. Carney promised to stop this LOL! And the majority fell for his words. All he has done is take a world tour with no results on the tax payers dollar.
What is he going to do about the massive deficit that he has clearly added to since he has been in power and given most of our tax dollars to the army?? [ probably knowing we may go to war while he is in power]. Well, he has already said he will be cutting federal services so it will be interesting to see what areas he cuts from. And whatever else he chooses to do now that CLEARLY, he has not done a single thing he said he would do to stand up to Donald. And of course he will not. I said from the beginning he is a twin of Donald. Watch where he makes changes. BUT!!! For those who are still clearly worshipping the ground he walks on stop listening to his words and start seeing if his words have created the actions with what he promised.
Funnily enough if Pierre had won the election many would be saying “OH Mark Carney would have stood his ground with Donald. Mark Carney would have matched tariff for tariff”. Now you know when he did, he backed off and we still have 50% on steel and 25% on aluminum and only because of CUSMA do we have 85% NOT tariffed. That is till July 1st 2026 when the contract will be revised or halted. Mark my words you chose someone who really does not care about the working class. BUT!!! I will await the destiny of Canada and if you voted for him do NOT let me hear you complain.

VcToria's Spiritual Advice
MAID Medical Assistance In Dying
So, I found this very interesting . Most people I know have no issues with the euthanizing of an animal. Whether it be to end their life due to pain, medical issues and sadly in some cases just because they no longer want the pet.
BUT!! When I ask people what their take is on MAID many say they do not believe you should take a human life.
Now I agree in not taking a human life with murder etc. That is giving yourself that karma to be murdered in future lives OR being held back with dark heavy energy that the Universe seems to produce lately. Or as many believe ‘you go to hell’. I do not believe in hell. I believe there are lessons of karma created from actions.
So, I have a good friend in rescue. I truly thought she would believe in MAID but to my surprise she said and I quote “myself and my husband do not believe in that”. And I being of sane and sound mind LOL can allow others to have different views on things and not immediately end the friendship due to someone who then says “OH you do not have my values so we cannot be friends”. YES!! Happened to me recently with a vendor who works some of the same shows as me. Shannon of She Does Create. Not just a vendor friend but someone who had gone out for lunches with me, come over to my house for meals and trust me I had bought a ton of stuff off her even thought she had never had a reading with me. I believe she thinks her values are of a higher standard than mine LOL. AND!! Would not even do an order for me, just returned the windchimes I had asked her to place with crystals around them !! I kid you not!! I guess it is all about ego.
Now my true friends do not walk away when we have differences. And so, I said to my rescue pal; “but you have no issues with euthanizing cats or dogs” She said “no” and then I guess she thought about my statement as I said to her “But I find that the same thing as assisting in a human death”. Because she said “well maybe if the pain was really great” and we left it at that.
I know that this physical life will all make perfect sense at the end BUT!!! I have to believe that at a certain point we may, and I state may, be allowed to go home on our own terms. Thus, wrapping up your will, belongings, cashing out the bank accounts, selling the home etc. On the physical side if you knew that your life was being terminated you could get it in perfect order. On the flip side when you do not know and that means it can end at any moment; nothing has been organized with what you have left.
I find the one most important thing anyone can do at ANY age is get a will. As you age you can certainly add or change parts of the will but this allows those who you leave behind when you exit unexpectedly not fighting over the physical you left.
Now back to the spiritual side of this. Do we have free will to take ourselves home when in incurable pain? I believe yes. Do we have a right to commit suicide when emotional stuff is leading our lives? NO!!
Emotional stuff is not physical pain. Committing suicide guarantees a repeat life of that which you have to overcome from whatever you are allowing yourself to believe emotional wise. Different souls in the next life, but same lessons.
So back to MAID. I believe knowing you are leaving this physical life allows you to expect the end and not suddenly be surprised about it. I believe those that many see as ghosts are the trapped souls who because of their sudden death do not realize they are dead OR do not want to leave the earthly energy.
Not trapped souls ,but souls who cannot quite comprehend what is happening and as we have freedom of choice here in the physical body so we have freedom of choice when we depart from it.
These are my beliefs and will I use MAID ever? Probably not as I use health as my guide to my life. I believe we will be judged on the miracle created as the physical body and how we took care of it. Would I use MAID IF I was in a circumstance that took my physical capabilities. YES, I would.
Have my son and my grandkids been told to use MAID if I can no longer function mentally? Yes, they have.
Have they been told not to put me in an old age home? Yes, they have and been told my will is NULL and VOID if they do LOL. That guarantees me for sure that I will not be locked away and forgotten.
It is your right to believe in MAID or not. I certainly will respect your views on it. But do think about life and all that you desire from it before it ends. Because one way or another I guarantee you that death comes to us all. Some will allow themselves to choose and others not.
So, value the time you have here as judgment comes at some point. 😊

VcToria's Vegan Kitchen
VEGAN ‘FISH
Oyster Mushrooms are the best for this recipe. Get as many as you like for your dish. If you are alone then get three to four bunches and multiply for how ever many people will be eating.
​1 cup of plant milk . I used almond home-made milk. I place cup of almonds in my blender and add water and blend. Then use a cup of that.
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
1 cup of all purpose flour OR for gluten free use chickpea flour
1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons of cornstarch [this is the trick to the crispy part 😊 ]
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of seaweed flakes [nori, kelp or dulse]
½ teaspoon of smoked paprika [for color so not truly necessary]
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying. I used vegetable oil but you can also use sunflower, canola or peanut oil
Prepare the counter with the above items for faster and more structured cooking.
Take the cup of plant-based milk and add the apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
While doing that prepare the bowl of flour, to which you add cornstarch, garlic, onion, paprika, seaweed, salt and pepper.
NOTE: If you wish a stronger tasing coating double these spices.
Heat the oil now. [About 350F but I always know when it is hot and that is all you need to do]
Dip the cluster of oyster mushrooms into the FLOUR MIX first, then into your buttermilk [ plant-based milk and the vinegar that I trust you stirred] then BACK TO the flour mixture and dip, then BACK TO the buttermilk and dip, and lastly to the panko breadcrumbs. [This is the trick to the crunchy coating]
Fry the mushrooms in your heated oil till golden brown. About 2-3 minutes on each side] DO NOT place them on paper towels or the coating will not stay crisp.
Sprinkle with salt and more dulse, nori etc. if you like. Serve with home made french fires and a Caesar salad and there you have ‘fish and chips’.
You can also air fry this recipe.
You do not have to flambe it but if you do simply tilt the pan OR use a long lighter and light. Burn till the flame stops.

Next Month: Cauliflower and 'cheese
