Archaeology and Anthropology

My name is Janet Matthias. Archaeology has always been a passion of mine. Since childhood I read National Geographic. At high school, we were fortunate to have a class in Archaeology and I took to it like nothing else. As life progressed, I studied, read, learned and dreamed of becoming an Archaeologist. At 23, I intended to go to Trent University to do this. I got sidetracked.

One of the best books was one called "The Practical Archaeologist". In it is outlined the fact that opposed to the layman's view of Archaeology being about "gold digging", it is actually the pursuit of information, solving the puzzle of who we are. I used to explain to people that a true Archaeologist knows that if they found a "golden idol" and a slip of paper, papyrus that proved some fact (like what people ate, what they knew, believed) the most valuable piece is the information opposed to gold. Yes, you could learn from inscriptions on the piece, or what it represents. But, it is only worth putting in a museum to raise funds and share with the public.

In my life, I may have been diverted, and did a lot of good, but I used the skill of the Archaeologist to unearth my own secrets, my life, and to learn not only who we are as a people or were, but who I am. Therefore, I am a successful Archaeologist and Anthropologist.

I am also a clairvoyant. I have used these abilities for good. Perhaps my life is about learning, putting the "big picture" together, the big puzzle. We are all part of this puzzle, the missing pieces give us things to do, more to learn on our journey.

My abilities, "powers" come from somewhere else - a place I discovered in a near death (well I was dead) experience. The door has been left open. In my previous lives, I had these gifts or curses - depending on how you look at it. There is more to this world than people realize. We are all together, we are all on this journey together.

I have a friend Gail that has saved my life, a man I love, Allan, a loving memory of my best friend Puddy, Puds, a family (though troublesome at times) that love me and I love them. I am part of this world, part of the other world. I can still live, love and laugh.

It is time to profess these things. To see my own worth and value. What others think does not matter. I am grateful to all of my teachers. As a clairvoyant I met others that guided me, I was taught about sociology, psychology, politics, literature, art, science, mathematics, music, sex, day-to-day life skills, communications, business, education, history, geology, geography, ecology, religions, technology, medicine, space, physics, quantum physics, abstract math, crafts. I am reconnected with my body (separated no more) and enjoy yoga, dance, tai chi, breathing, smiling, laughing, crying, speaking, blood flow. The knowledge of the power of the mind - witnessing and processing healings, changes, alterations to things people think are not possible. It is possible, it is.

I am what I am - as Popeye would say. And all the attempts to change this have failed. I love. We are love. This plane of existence is not the only one. We are eternal. We all know each other.

So, at this juncture, I am being "given it all back", my memories, my life. No more denying to fit in, no more bullies forcing their beliefs on me.

The world awaits. I embrace my own power. I am empowered once again.

Christmas in Barrie

Hey all,
I'm currently THANKFULLY staying with a friend - out of the cold - alive, healing. We are working on being focused on abundance. I'm enjoying the company, trying to come out of the stunnedness. To everyone who journeyed with me this summer may you be equally safe, have a great future and know I love you all.
Tonight, my friend is out at a Christmas Party at my old work, at the army base I once stayed at. I am enjoying Oreo's company and continuing on my healing journey.
I still love. There is hope. There is abundance. There will be (too many to mention).
Janet

Ya

Holy cats,

I guess I have to laugh - what else can I do?
I'm alive. Laugh. Nuf said.
Actually, it snowed heavy today. I cleared the steps a couple of times. Not heavy.
Have resumes out. I'm opening up to people and I still have friends.
And, I have a communication device - not making that mistake again.

Love to whoever, Janet :)

I Hate Feeling Like Every Post is the Last

I rarely get any "me" time on a puter so I don't blog or Youtube much.

I've been very honest with myself lately and now here. I'm not doing to well. Have a broken tooth, with the accompaniment of pain which is depleting my strength and sending my health into a death spiral of sorts. I am saddened over some more losses - a love, a job I loved and now my life is threatened again to "pull it together or die". I don't have much left. By the time I got from one place to another back in August, I was on my last legs. Can't say I didn't get support or do my best, yet this is the result. I feel like a toy being crushed, squeezed and tortured to death in the jaws of hell. Think I'm kidding? Laugh, I've had my body literally torn apart, I've died at least once and was resussitated, came close several times and had to fight to survive to the point exhaustion. It's always "do or die". I'm actually just tired, can barely hold off defeat. I have given myself a few days to physically rest, but it hasn't helped much.
Never any love, just some hope now and again, brief glimpses.
I'm getting a sense that all anyone cares about is profit. I hope I get through don't know where to start even you work up some momentum, meet people, support them and receive some, only for it to become closed off, isolated and then wham! all is lost Hope just hope I laughed a bit last night and today. I haven't felt this bad in a long time

Barrie

Still in Barrie. Just finished my Reception position at Napoleon Appliances.
Still in love with Allen. I see the connection, but I just like him.
Feeling a little sad, but have to keep going. I hope he's ok.

Just Keeping Blog Active

Oh great! I just needed to look up the shelter number for a place and my Blog showed up in a google search!
It never has before - wonderful, now anyone looking up the shelter sees my blog. And, I checked this. Laugh. Ok fine, I have to process this one and possibly start deleting things. Ugh.
Just laugh Janet Just laugh. :)

I'm in love with Al

(Added after google search fiasco - lies all lies) Laugh

BiinBaan

I made to BiinBaan last night - a shelter in Barrie (Aug 1st), now 2nd.
Just finished my two weeks at G & K Services. They were nice to me. So, I have some money, not enough for a place.
I've met Kevin and Cheryl, Sarah and some of the people staying there.
It's a holiday weekend. So, I have to settle in, get to Ontario Works, see places, on Monday. Find more work. I get paid again next Friday. So, I'll have about $700 to work with.
I should be proud of myself and hold my head high. Life could be worse.
I still like it here in Barrie. The waterfront, the boats. I feel like I'm on a spiritual journey, walking the wheel. Healing from my injuries and pain.
Thank God there are people. Puds is resting peacefully in my locker.
I will still keep my word to carry her ashes. I honour and love her.

Besides Adonis, the black and white cat (male 3 yrs), there is another cat at Elizabeth Fry that showed up. Mostly white, with bits of light reddish-brown and probably about the same age (male). I hope to find a home for him too. We'll see.

Rise from the ashes.

Making it in Barrie

It's Friday, just finishing up the two week assignment at G&K Services - covering Nathalie Marchildon's position (service co-ordinator), working with Greg Craffigan, Gary Elkins and Delroy Brown. It's been good.

Elizabeth Fry has kept me on until today and now I have to move to another shelter (BiinBaan) at 38 Toronto Street. I'm worried but I'll be ok. Have to pick up my cheque from Spherion, get it to the bank, and finish packing my stuff tonight after work.

I hope to write again. Love to all and Puds. Janet Matthias

To remind myself - Janet Lampman has my other things and I will be storing more at Efry.

Working In Barrie

Have work for the next two weeks at G&K Services, a uniform company. Thanks Gloria!
Hopefully I can stay on at the house for a while until I get funding or pay behind me.

Alive and Well in Barrie!

I now live in Barrie at a shelter and am looking for my own place. I have work next week and things are looking better. Had a great seminar today on Self-Esteem with Dar (Darlene) and Maike, run by Tracy.

The water here is beautiful. I love going to look at the Bay (Kempenfelt Bay) and look at the Spirit Catcher. I know Puds is thinking of me and I think and love her all the time. I think of Lorne and Sophie. Soon things will be better. I have gained a little weight, feel stronger and healthier. The Staff is great and most of the women are supportive. I have helped and supported several of them.

It feels good to have some time to sit here in the beautiful Library to enjoy being on the Net again, relaxed. I love walking over here. The city is growing. It's my new home.

Second week in Barrie

Ok, so I've looked for work, looked for work, looked for work.
Yesterday I walked a long way...got an interview!
So, we'll see.
The agency is setting me up for one on Friday with and Inside Sales Job. Whatever that is.

Just got an e-mail from Mark McKale, this really cool Graphic Designer. Might have just made a friend! Yeah.

George Carlin died on Sunday. That's a big one. He was our first host on SNL. He liked to play with words and told it like it is.

Week One in Barrie

Ok, got some rest, back in a reg. schedule. Cut way back on smoking and coffee. Since Monday I put out a pile of resumes and today have an intro one with an agency.

I have moved

Thanks to a friend, I find myself now in Barrie. For the last few days, I have been resting and getting myself back to a place where I once was out of my shell and physically at my prime.

They too have their hands full with family things and perhaps there are reasons I'm here for them too.

The youngest child has a similar injury to something I went through.

A Year Since Her Death

It has been a year (May 21, 2007) since Puddy's death - one that hit hard and I was not prepared for.
I am 42 years old. People think I have regrets but I don't. All the choices I made were to help humanity and I have sacrificed. If I had not chosen to save lives and only thought of myself I would have what people consider to be a great life, yet I know what a great life really is. It is knowing you did your best.
My name is Janet and I am a clairvoyant. I have used this ability to shape and form a world we live in, a better one than we faced. People fight this, of course, only seeing what's in it for them.
I was given a gift of time with someone I loved and I will cherish it even though it has passed.
My future is wide open now. There are children that may wish to seek me out, people that want me in their world.
There have been Beatles and dancing, learning to talk, speak, walk, raised by the world and protection from harm. There have been lovers and mentors and parents and children and pets.

Lorne, Puddy and Sophie
You are my inspiration.
I love you.

Printarama :)

Things are still tough and I'm tired, wondering how I'll keep going, but I will.

First day went well. Learning to work all the machines and even got to play on CorelDraw. Have a disc to review just to update me on some of the latest tools.

Love to all.

I got a job!!!!

Yea!

Finally!! I start tomorrow.

Wow Things Have Been Rough

Holy cow! The last few weeks I had to pull it all out, got some help for food and kept working on my body and health.
Had a few calls for good jobs and got let down, then one I wanted called.
Interview went well.

Saved by the Bell

Ok, gotta keep up my own post.

Things were looking very bleak, but I got a reprieve today.

Still job hunting and going.

It's about time I posted again

Ok, so I've dealt with a whole pile of pain, am on anti-biotics for an infected tooth, but I'm still going to the gym and working out, putting out resumes and applied to a job I need and want.

Not much else to say, just getting there.
