Azaza12, YES!! Continue to be her friend! We shall all say prayers for her, and channel any positive energy her way. I myself am a SURVIVOR! I got out of an abusive marriage 15 yrs ago...I was kept from my friends by my abuser until I didn't have any except for his family, and they were really no friends at all! She hopefully will keep in contact with you-it may be long times between, but do not give up hope! She needs you desperately now, for courage and strength. When I finally got out, I didn't look back. Spent 3 months in a DV shelter; they helped me get my identity back.

Thunder, it's always rewarding to hear a man say there is NO excuse for DV! My own fiance and soulmate feels the same way. God blessed me when he and I met and he treats me like a queen, so there IS a better life out there, Linda just needs lots of courage and prayers; I will send my 'survivor-mode' energy her way, and loving prayers...Please keep us all informed on how she (and you) make out.

Oh, BTW, we llive in Maine. What a great place!! I've lived here for 15 years now, moved from Finger Lakes area of New York state.

AuntBuck, You're pretty right on with some of the impressions...height/weight, not QUITE married yet but engaged-maybe this fall-we bought this place a year and a half ago in the country(on the mark, there!!) to get out of the burbs. Actually my fiance is pretty intuitive:always having dreams, in color mostly, usually about flying or things that fly, sometimes about disasters (as I frequently did when younger). I'm a retired nurse but still love to help people-involved in some charity projects every year.

Emergence, I just read your post....you are absolutely uncanny...I do have blonde shoulder length straightish hair, and I am a poor self-motivator (I think). So, you are not wrong!!:D I like to think I have a sunny attitude, although right now I'm being face with a problem that I'm extremely unsure about...I came here to hope to get some insight from others, if you could help please....

Hi Everyone! I'm also new here; seem to have found some kindred 'spirits'! lol

Bluecat, I really have to agree with AuntBuck, RC, and others about the dog...he's coming to you for a reason; I find it interesting that he has this heart-shaped marking on his head-perhaps some kind of sign of some type. Also how ironic that the rescue group just happened to have a scanner,and the dog actually had a chip! Was he a rescue dog at one time? If these people have to be called to come and take him home, I don't know if they would've been bothered with the expense to have had a chip inserted. He's (the dog) trying to bring you a message. Has there been anyone in your life that has passed recently, or before the dog started showing up? How long has he been coming over? I really get a strong feeling about that. I'm like you in the same way that I was more intuitive when I was younger, and kind of 'put it away' for awhile; now I find myself wanting to reconnect with that aspect of my life. Sorry, didn't mean for this to be so long
