Polly calls.
“We have to do something! Mother got up this morning and there was a big rat swimming around and around in her toilet bowl and she couldn’t get him out and then she did get him out with the toilet brush and then her dog grabbed him and ate him and Mom says that somehow the toilet seat got dismantled and torn up and she feels really bad about the rat getting eaten, he was trying so hard to survive.”
Polly sucks air and goes on. “She has lost her blood pressure pills for three days now and that’s very dangerous and you can’t find anything in that place it’s such a mess and there are vast dangling cobwebs on her windows, have you seen them, her housekeeper is no good but Mom won’t fire her because she likes her and Becky has ripped up all the rugs digging for squirrels under the house and we need to replace the floors with vinyl, Mom agrees and Mom just keeps eating that same crock pot soup that cooks all the time and she never dumps it and starts over and you have to do something and right now, Venus.”
I say, “I’m not coming over there and clean that house. I am not cleaning up all the blood and guts from all the dismembered field creatures that her cat brings in. I am not. ”
I know my abilities and housecleaning is not one of them.
Polly jags off onto another topic about how she, Polly, fired her website person and she is now doing the site herself and how she was talking to so and so this famous person and her grandkids are always over at her place and she can’t get anything done and she keeps jigging and jagging from topic to topic and I can’t stand it. Trying to follow her mind makes me feel crazy and I finally yell, “Shut up! Shut up!”
“Arrgh?” she says.
“What’s wrong with you, are you ADD?!! You never stay with one line of thought. I can’t stand it,” I say and I am not kind about it.
And later that day the results from the CAT scan our mother had a week or so, come in.
Our 87 year old mother had a very aggressive lung cancer five years ago, but she recovered. After that experience, every time she saw Dr. Tong, a doctor in town at the clinic, he would jump with surprise and clutch her health records to his chest and shout when he saw her, “What? You still here? You should be dead!”
About 8 months back she developed a cough which became a horrid, retching one that went on and on and caused her to sometimes vomit. She became tired and listless and wobbly and as she will tell you, much to her chagrin she constantly peed her pants.
The CAT scan now shows cancer in both her lungs and in her liver.
When Polly calls from our mother’s house and gives me the grim news about the CAT scan , I hear my mother laughing merrily in the background.
But, the family cries. When we ‘kids’ hear the news, all six of us wail, ‘How will we live without our mother?’
The new doctor (Polly replaced the other one, saying “It can’t be good to have a doctor who’s always shouting at you in surprise, telling you that you should be dead!”) tells Mom not to bother with chemo and she tells him, “I wouldn’t do it anyway.”
Later in the day, I take a large bottle of white wine with an alcohol percentage of 14.5, and go and visit my mother who lives right down the road from me.
She is in great spirits! We sit on the deck as the automatic canopy over our head misfires and drags back and forth. Bees buzz around our heads and over Mom’s happy flowers and the giant red hawks call out and float above us in the great blue sky. We drink the fine wine and mother says she is really looking forward to seeing her brother Buzz again, who died when he was eighteen. And her parents. And her best friends Alice and Betty.
“I can’t even remember why Betty died. Why did she die?” she asks me. “Who else do I want to see?”
It’s peculiar, but she never mentions my father.
We joke and laugh. Mother says over and over how lucky she is. How lucky she is to have all us wonderful kids and all this land she lives on, and this wonderful home.
I glance around at the ratty hovel.
“Have another drink Mom.”
We are having a lot of fun. It feels like we are having a celebration.
“Why does it feel like we’re celebrating?” I ask her.
Mom doesn’t know, but she feels the same.
This is very peculiar.
“You know Mom,” I say, “I have been here at least two hours and you haven’t coughed. All I have heard are several ‘boof, boofs’ from you.
“Yes,” Mom says, “my cough is almost gone and I have stopped peeing my pants!”
“Are you still taking those Little Yellow Pills and the Magic White Powder?” I ask.
“Yes, I am Venus. And every time I get a sore throat, I take a yellow pill and the sore throat goes away!”
“Mom! I told you to take those pills every day! Not just when you get a virus. They are busy killing all the viruses in your body and you have to take them every day.”
“I mainly do,” she says. “I know you are determined to get me well, Venus. You are really working hard on it. And, I take the Powder, ” she adds.
I look at my mother. She looks damn good. Here she just got a bad CAT scan and the doctor has pulled a grim, sad face and labeled her terminal……. but, she looks utterly gorgeous. She has color in her cheeks, she hardly coughs, she’s happy, her mind is sharp and she is not peeing her pants!
“Venus, when I got the CAT scan I hadn’t been taking your magic medicine very long,” my mother says.”I think your stuff is working. I feel better.”
The next day my sister Polly calls again. I am very nice to her.
She says, “I thought you would like to know that Mother has a plan… Mother tells me she has a job. You know she has been wanting a job for a long time and now she says she has one. She tells me her job is to get well so she can ‘be a good testimonial for Venus and for her products.’ She says she’s going to do that. She’s serious.”
Umm. We both know our mother. If she says this is her job, then this is her job. And you know what, that doctor who labeled her terminal may die before she does. Any of us might. That’s how Life works. Life likes surprises.
Maybe Mother and I were celebrating more than we consciously knew with that bottle of wine.. which we finished completely, if you must know, and I felt like crap all night.
As with all things, Only Time Will Tell The Tale.
Whatever the eventual outcome, I still have my Splendid Mother who has a Splendid Nature with an amazing outlook on life and has always been this way.
But, whenever she does go, if I am still here, how will I ever live without her?

“THE LITTLE YELLOW PILLS” AND “THE MAGIC WHITE POWDER” (my fun name for them)
I have mentioned these a few times on my radio show, and their remarkable abilities. As you know I have been testing them now for almost two months. The Yellow Pills are said to kill ALL viruses including Herpes, Hep C, HIV and flus, like the Swine Flu. So far, if I feel any sign of the shingles, or other viruses, I take a pill or two and in several hours I am fine, again! I now take them every day and am well. I have a large number of bottles stored away for the coming Swine Flu Panic season.
The “Magic White Powder” supposedly works on all metabolic diseases to restore health. This includes a long list of the most common and difficult conditions and is very startling. You will think it can’t possibly restore health with these…I spoke with an MD who has been working with cancer for 30 years. He is now using the Powder in his practice. He told me to up the dose with my mother and said, “You might be surprised by what happens.”
The company that has these all natural products is in process of putting up a new website where these products can be ordered. If you would like more information please email me and ask for info about ‘the yellow pills/white powder.’ I will email it to you when I get it. tovenus@earthlink.net
By the way, I am not making you any promises. I simply feel I have found something that may be remarkable and I leave it up to you to judge it’s effectiveness for yourself. I like the adventure of discovering new things that may lead to amazing outcomes. Or, maybe not. …Are you the same way?
I am personally in love with both products and find myself waiting by my gate for the UPS man to deliver them! They have a magical hold on me.
Dr. Ron, my brother in law, the medical intuitive, is now testing the powder for me. He took his first scoop of the Powder the other day and said he felt it vibrating in his chest, he felt it’s clear energy and he found himself feeling happy for no logical reason. He has looked into it’s scientific background and how it works and what it does and he is very impressed.

VENUS’ RADIO SHOW IS ON A NEW STATION “The Dear Venus Show” -Summer and I did readings together July 7th
My show July 7th, 2009 has both my daughter and myself doing readings together. It starts out a bit rough as Summer and I had just found out about Grandma’s CAT scan, but I think it’s a good show as we chat about my mother and the three of us as peas in a pod. We also chat about a cult I got into when Summer was a kid! We get Summer’s take on it from a 6 year olds perspective. Later, when taking calls, we sort of locate a missing lover who seems to have gone to ‘hell’ which is a joke, but it hugely annoys our caller!
www.contacttalkradio.com All shows have FREE ARCHIVES. Live show every Tuesday 1PM Pacific/4PM Eastern. Free Readings on air every show. Call in number is 1 877 230 3062 All countries

“His wife told me today that he had 80 patients this week! Up from only 25! Whooo hooo! Thanks a ton!”

God Bless you in this new adventure, becasue according to your stories … your life is always an ever-evolving adventure.

Enjoyed Your Blog..,and I’m so glad to hear your mom..is in good spirits..and has happy, colored cheeks..lol..:)
I would like to know more about the yellow pills/white powder…sounds like good Stuff..:)
I am so tickled that your mom is happy and enjoying her life.
And I think it is wonderful that you and she are celebrating it.
One of my best friends is dealing with lung cancer, and I am grateful for every little moment with her.
Loving you!
Dana
Venus,
Melanie said it best!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us. We all learn from you and yours.
Love
You and your Mother are in my prayers…
Dear Venus,
Miracles happen every day and who can say exactly what outcome defines “miracle.” I wish Mom, you, your family (and heck all of us) lots and lots of miracles.
We just celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday this weekend. Mom still works. She drives downtown to work twice a week. We live in Chicago. It was hard to keep the great & grand kids in tow with gram setting off bottle rockets with the older boys. After some Mike’s Hard Pomegranate Punch (It has pomegranate it has to be healthy!) it’s hard to keep her down. Reading your story about your mom reminds me to be grateful for every crazy (happy, sad, bothersome, wonderful, silly, etc.) minute with mom.
Only blessings to you all,
love,
Joanie
PS Do people know when you rummage around in their brains? I worry about a confrontation after you dip in?
THIS IS VENUS, HELLO!
Thank you all for your lovely and fun comments
Joanie to answer your last question, people talk to me at a deep level. They don’t consciously know what is happening but they DO think THEY are thinking all the things i chat about in their heads so i am very careful about what I say and how I say it.
X Venus
Everything is as it should be! Love and light – live in the now!
Thanks for your answer Venus. Now that I know that it’s safe, I guess I’m ready to win one of your free phone sessions! I have been able to get to the phone during your show
Love you,
Joanie
It was a great show, Venus, and there were many highlights, not just the annoyed caller! It was a special show to me, because the day I listened to it, I had a bird fly into my picture window and die as I watched, wishing I could somehow help. I’d never seen anything die in front of me before. Anyway, for whatever reason, everything at once, that show meant a lot to me.
I love all of you so much. I don’t think cancer will/can take your mom, to be honest. She’ll die someday, but it’s going to be when she just flat out decides she wants to, and then she’ll just roll over and do it. I don’t think this cancer is going to be anymore harmful to her than the last.
Dear Venus,
This is for you today.
Sarah
Rose
Pink and vibrant
Beauty touches deep within me
Appreciated
Seldom understood
Fill the well within my soul
Drink deep within my mind
Quiet my pain
Pierce my heart
Draining the emptiness
Separation gone
Oneness complete
I AM home.
