Public Service Part II
While working as an EMT my partner and I were sent to a car rental place across from Newark Airport. This was the farthest part of our coverage area. When we got there we found a man who was 6'4" and a good 230 lbs. He was dangerously close to the highway at rush hour. We knew that there was no way were going to be able to handle this guy by ourselves so we tried to call for backup. The air traffic was really heavy, we didn't have repeaters on our radios so we kept getting stepped on when we tried to get help. We knew we had to get him away from the highway so we approached him slowly. I said, " Excuse me Sir you need to come away from there. You could get badly hurt and we might cause a car accident." Well, he didn't seem to like that idea so he started chasing me around the parking area. I managed to get around him a couple of times but honestly. I'm only 4'11' so one of his strides was at least six of mine. He cornered me against a wall, the parking lot was kind of shaped like a U." I was trying to duck under him but then he threw a punch at my head. I put my hand up to shield my face. My fingers were splayed open. He took the opportunity to grab my hand interlocking my his fingers into mine. He then yanked me up off the ground and immediately separating my right shoulder. He then extended his arm up as high as he could which left me dangling on my tip toes sort of twisting back and forth. It hurt like living hell but I didn't make a sound. I was afraid to scream out because I didn't know what he would do. He didn't speak to me, not once. It took a while for help to arrive so I stroked his stomach with my free hand telling him help was coming. My partner was great. He kept talking to me to keep me calm. We talked about the jackass who was taping this entire event instead of calling 911. We talked to his co-workers and asked them to call 911. I think they were all just to scared to move. They did however give us some further information which might have been useful before this started. They told us that his name was Windell, he worked there, but when he went on a break he went into the bathroom and came out with white powder on his face under his nose. We found out a couple of days later that he had snorted cocaine and Haldol , two drugs that can cause hallucinations, violence and other things. I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream but I just couldn't. My partner, Bob , was awesome. He didn't want to leave me to get to our ambulance and kept trying and trying to get help on the air. When he finally did his focus was 100% on me. He even made me laugh a bit. He listened to me when I told him what I wanted done at my funeral. I told him that no one should bring red roses because my Mom hated them because Dad had given them to her during a tough time in their relationship. I also asked him to have someone play the song , " Lady" STYX version for her and the song " Wild Horses, for my sister Liz. I also asked that the song " The Flame" be played for my Dad even though he wouldn't be there. He had died in 1991 but I still wanted him to be at my funeral and this was the song he said reminded him of me. Bob just listened. He didn't try to tell me that I was going to be alright because we both knew that might not be the case. We both knew that at any moment he could snap my neck. I just kept stroking his stomach. That powder blue T-shirt will never leave my mind.

The Dirt Whisperer
It’s 1930, six ironworkers sit on a girder about 1,000 feet above the Manhattan streets and eat lunch. It’s an iconic photo meant to symbolize the skill, bravery and dedication of the men who built one of the world’s most enduring and famous structures – the Empire State Building. While the workers on the ground at the Empire State Building site didn’t get the publicity granted the high-flying girder walkers, the heavy equipment operators who cleared the site between 33rd and 34th streets on Fifth Avenue and anchored all 102 floors to the ground proved critical to the safety, stability, legacy and longevity of the skyscraper.

Tarot Readings
I have had quite a few people ask what is a tarot card reader. Well, I am here to answer that question. A tarot card reader is a person who uses cards to show you a glimpse of your future. Now typically they have you think of a question, such as how can I advance my career or how can I strengthen the bond between me and my loved one. Typically you want to ask open-ended questions, also you never ask them out loud you always think of the question. As you think of the question the reader will have you shuffle their deck of cards. They will then have you separate the deck into three smaller decks and then have you put them back into one. After doing this the reader will take the deck, they will then start their tarot layout drawing the top ten cards and laying them face down in the layout. Once all the cards are laid-out the read starting with card one will flip over the cards and begin your reading. Normally the readings can last from thirty minutes to an hour depending on how the reader chooses to explain the cards and the curiosity of the client. And most people tend to freak out when getting a certain card, lets take a closer look at this card. The first card is the Death card, this card typically means that a dramatic change is coming perhaps the end of a situation. When getting cards such as the Death card or The Devil card the placement of the card means a lot if it is placed in the situation place, then typically means that your question has something to do with those cards. When laying out the cards remember to keep your heart open. The most common layout is, card one is the heart of the matter. Card two is what challenges the issue. Card three is an unknown influence. Card four is the past. Card five is hopes and goals. Card six is the future. Card seven is your self-image. Card eight is how others see you. Card nine is guidance and warning. And card ten is the overall outcome. This layout is the most common which makes it seem the easiest, which very well maybe but only if you keep working at it. The more you work with the cards the better your readings will be. Every reading is unique and different but trusting in the cards and what your heart is telling you is key in tarot reading. I have also had people ask what do the cards mean, and how does one get a tarot reading. Each card means something different things in each reading. So cards that people think are bad cards could mean something good depending on the reading and the reader. The most positive cards are the lover’s card means a new relationship may be coming your way, the Strength card means you have strength, the wheel of fortune means events are coming and bringing positivity. These are only a few of the positive cards. And as for the best way to get a tarot reading is to look into finding people who are tarot readers. The research will also help you find a tarot reader. Looking into tarot readings and knowing what you are wanting to know helps both you and the reader. I myself am an online tarot reader and if anyone is interested in looking into having me do a tarot reading for you check out my website at http://belliatarots.wixsite.com/readings. You can book an appointment online or if you are still unsure you can send me a message and I will respond ASAP to discuss with you about making an appointment.

You can't always get what you want
So, as if I wasn’t busy enough trying to write my books, look after a veteran, deal with the death of my beloved bloodhound Zoey, the cards I hand paint and sell and I partnered with a friend to make a Tarot deck. Yes, I am too flipping busy. Amazingly busy for a woman who has no real employment and spends most of her day trying to figure out her side hustles and get her Veteran to the numerous VA appointments.

When I grow up...
...the upbeat song by The Pussycat Dolls that has me shaking my booty from side to side and swing my arms in all directions possible. It's not just a song title. It's a question that's been circling in my mind ever since my grandma asked a 4-year-old Linda: "What will you be when you grow up?"
