Okay. I have been struggling with my S-elf for some time now about a major decision. Although, I have not yet decided either way, I would like some honest feedback from the Knowflakes. Feel free to give me your honest opinions, because I need to hear (here) the Truth.I have been playing with the idea of writing a very special book. Are you ready for this? The title of the book would be: UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY OF LINDA GOODMAN Should I even attempt this? I don't want to be accused of commercialism. I am still unsure of whether or not I should do this (or even if I can do such a responsibility justice). Anywho, here's my vision. It will have interviews with people that knew Linda at every stage of her Life--from childhood to high school to next door neighbors in Cripple Creek. A little birdie told me that I might even "luck out" and get to interview her children and Robert Brewer (something that nobody has been able to do as of yet). It will be chock-full of rare pictures of Linda. I am sure that a trip to Cripple Creek will unearth many amateur photos of Linda taken by her close friends and neighbors. I think this book will jump right to the Best Seller's List, and ALL MY PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS (EVERY PENNY) WILL BE DONATED TO THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION. I would not dare to try and make anything off of this. This would be my gift to Linda and to those that Love her. Is this doable? I have many good book ideas (children's book on astrology, book on new astrology, book on Saturn, etc.), but this is a guaranteed publish. Is the world ready for this? Does the world even care about something like this? What is your honest input? To top it all off, the number for the title comes to a 27. Does anybody have the interpretation for that (I k-NOW it's good). Does 27 sound like it describes this book well? ------------------ "The ancestor to every action is a thought." EMERSON IP: Logged |

Randall Gee my heart was thumping so fast when I read that!! I think its a BRILLIANT Randall dont concern yourself with what others may think, your motivation is from the HEART, from what I made out some were opposed to your setting up this site and hey look at the and beauty that YOU created here, Oh go for it Randall, I'll post more later on the subject, I get so blooming tongue tied when I'm excited. I've done the Numerology on UNAUTHORIZED = 8 BIOGRAPHY = 3 OF = 6 LINDA = 5 GOODMAN = 4 and I make it 26 I did double check it - 26 is *not* good - I'll type out the 27 if you want me to, just advise me how you reached 27.

Hi Randall, Diane, everyone...Boy!!! I'm glad to be "back"! Diane's right... it vibrates to 26... but with an 'AN' added to the beginning of the title, it will vibrate to a more supportive frequency of 32, "Communication" - the arts, writing, etc. 32 is a higher vibration of 14. Ohh... I have more I wanna say, but have to run off for "awhile". You have my ... Love to you... Tammy

I cannot think of ANYONE who is better suited to this undertaking. No one else would do justice to ALL that Linda was, is, and will be.My friend; you have my complete and utter support in this endeavor and I can assure you that HQE and I will be waiting for the bookstore to open on the day it is released.

Oops, I miscounted UNAUTHORIZED as a 54/9. And I always thought I was perfect! Anywho, I agree that a 32 is a superb vibration. I guess I was subconsciously wishing for a 27 (Linda's favorite number). Any ideas on a totally different name altogether?How about: LINDA GOODMAN'S UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY This comes to a 23. What do you guys think about that? Or is the first one better (no apostrophe in Linda's name)? Thanks for your support, but there may also be people that honestly feel this is a bad idea. If so, speak up. All opinions are respected here. ------------------ "The ancestor to every action is a thought." EMERSON IP: Logged |

I think it is a very good idea Randall. You have my full love and support. I think Linda would be really pleased, especially since you're thinking of doing such a wonderful thing, donating the proceeds to a diabetes charity. What a wonderful thing to do!I am very proud of you, and I have no doubt that you will do it. There will, of course, be people who will not like the idea. Most probably because they will wish that they did it or thought of it first Even though it will be an unauthorized biography, the words unauthorized biography don't sit with me too well. How about a nice, descriptive title, something like, "Mary Alice: Beyond the Stars...the life and loves of Linda Goodman" Something like that, so that the words "...An unauthorized biography" will be on the front page, but it won't be the title of the book. I have no clue what any of it would add up to in numbers, just throwing my two pennies in the circle. IP: Logged |

I like your title, Goober. It comes to a 62 (inverse of 26). Unfortunately, I need the words "unauthorized biography" in the title to prevent Trademark infringement. ------------------ "The ancestor to every action is a thought." EMERSON IP: Logged |

Randall It doesn't matter what people think...If you feel drawn to try to find out about Linda's life, then share what you find...so be it! the search and journey towards it is actually the important bit, not the final book (although that could be seen as an achievment) (but as Dan pointed out, you've got to eat it one bite at a time)....ye gawds! I don't believe that I just said that! An advising someone to go one step at a time, and to be practical..(with vision) hahahaha Now I've seen and done everything!! ...except learnt to follow my own advise....not that I ever in a million years thought I would ever advise anyone of that!! hahaha !! actually I'm ROFLMAO with tears! That's as much an oxymoron as "honest politician" ! AusIP: Logged |

Randall, hope you don't mind if I throw in my 'two cents' worth QUIT TALKING ABOUT IT AND GET TO WORK...!!!! That is one of the best things I have heard of in a while...and YES, you are perfect for it..(sounds a bit inspired...) As to the title...the one that comes to 23 is Karmically blessed...BUT the one with 26 could get you some aid from 'Pappy' Although I think he will help on this one anyway.. LINDA GOODMAN'S UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY does have a better ring to it... ------------------

Randall, If you really want the title to equal 27 there's always the possibility of THE UNAUTHORISED BIOGRAPHY OF LINDA GOODMAN Good Luck Seamistress IP: Logged |

Randall, My hugs and smiles are sent to you. I've thought of doing this for years, as well. I say listen to your Higher S-elf and watch for signs from the Uni-verse. I see heavy obstacles in the way of the person/people who "own her estate"... but you are strong. And if you are meant to do it, you certainly will. I love your idea to give the proceeds to the Diabetes foundation. And something just occurred to me.... about Sally... maybe give some proceeds to the Missing Children Fund... or something like that? Just an idea. Take it or leave it. Love and luck to you, LMB IP: Logged |

I think it's a grand idea Randall. A lot of people seem quite surprised at her death and most don't know a thing about it (I gather from questions at another site anyway). I knew she had died but not when or how. Also, info on Sally would be inte read about. Good luck and perseverence! Last IP: Logged |

wOw! Thanks for the support! Very funny, "Universe." LMB, I LOVE the idea about The Missing Children Fund!!!!!! I don't think I will face opposition from Crystal, but if I do, as John Travolta said in the movie Michael--"BATTLE!" Of course, I don't want to promote any kind of competition or animosity between the two sites. We're just a fan site, but that suits me fine. I wouldn't have it any other way. We fill a need. The two sites are Kindred Spirits whether some of them at the official site realize this or not. Seriously, though, unauthorized biographies are done all the time, and there's nothing the applicable parties can do to stop them from being written. I do think I'll have Crystal's silent support. If not, then I wish her only the best. Either way, if I decide to do it, nothing and nobody will change my Mind. This Capricorn Snake is FEARLESS, and if Linda is on my side, who can be again' me? ------------------ "The ancestor to every action is a thought." EMERSON IP: Logged |

I would like to take this opportunity to say hi to the Universe I have complete faith in you Randall. Draw extra strength from your sun sign, and I've asked "Pappy" for a "personal blessing" IP: Logged |

One thing is certain: This book will manifest. It's time. Of course, I may not be the individual who will compile it. The world wants to hear the story of Linda. The world wants to see photos of her. Whether I do it or not, I am sure somebody will. If Crystal or anybody else were to write it, I would definitely buy a copy. I don't think it would be complete, though, without interviews with Linda's children and the elusive Mr. Brewer. ------------------ "The ancestor to every action is a thought." EMERSON IP: Logged |

Randall I think writing a book about Linda the way you described is a WONDERFUL idea!!! There are so many unanswered questions and gaps in her life that those of us who love her would dearly love to know. I, for one, would really be interested in the sequence of her spiritual path and what led her to each area she investigated, besides knowing about her children and the elusive Robert Brewer!! If anybody can do it, YOU are the one to do it. I wish it was already at the bookstore!! Love, Donna IP: Logged |

Thank you, Donna. Your support means more to me than just about anybody's. I agree; following Linda's journey through discovery is an excellent idea. It has been Ordained. It will be written. If I don't do it, some gifted Knowflake shall. It can be no other way. ------------------ "The ancestor to every action is a thought." EMERSON IP: Logged |

I would already have the deal worked out with the charity or charities before publishing, but do you guys think I should put a statement on the cover showing where the proceeds are going? Just wondering. The monies would go directly from the publisher to the charity/charities. ------------------ "The ancestor to every action is a thought." EMERSON IP: Logged |
