HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020!!!


So, it is now the year of 2020. This has been a difficult year for me. I had a full hysterectomy before Thanksgiving and found out I had stage 1 uterine cancer. It was a blessing that it was fully contained within the uterus and did not spread. I am forever grateful for my daughter, who was with me the entire time for the surgery, for the first couple of days of recovery and just for being my emotional support. I love her very much. She is my tweety bird. She is one of the reasons I feel hope in my life. She is one of the reasons I smile and feel such love. My daughter is the most precious to me.




Now at the beginning of 2020, I wonder what may be next. What new things shall I experience at work? What new movies, new music I shall watch and hear? What good will happen in the year? I don't want to curse the year by starting out with any kind of negativity. I began this year thinking about my favorite movie this past year, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It had such an impact on me for good that I don't ever want to forget it. The wonderful chills it gave me. The excitement, the times I laughed and the times I cried. I cannot understand the negative attitude of those who did not like the film. They are more like little children throwing temper tantrums. No matter the nitpicking some silly critics have, fans have voiced they love this movie. And I am one of them. I still cannot process that the end to that saga has come. I am forever grateful that George Lucas gave us Star Wars. it really touched the lives of many people around the world. Thanks to JJ Abrams and the cast and crew for making the last Star Wars film exactly what it needed to be. It is the most exhilarating film I have ever seen. 



This new year will be about taking opportunities to make things better for me. If I learned anything from the past it is to "Make Your Life Happy. It's Your Choice." It is also up to me to take the initiative to make opportunities to do things for my own betterment and future. I think that is a challenge I am up for. I will also try to get in here to do some more article writing for my blog. My being away came from surgery and healing. So hopefully now I can get back to things as usual. 

I wish everyone a Happy New Year. ~~~Lana

GROWING UP IN A HAUNTED HOUSE

2220 N. Armstrong St. Kokomo Indiana My childhood home after the burning by a serial arsonist in July 2001 This is the synopsis idea I sent to Raw Television's Paranormal Witness to later be produced and aired on Syfy Channel on July 10th, 2013.  Understand that this synopsis does not include every story but only touched on some paranormal experiences with Raw Television producers.  It was never intended to be a book here.  The Blog is my synopsis.  Also, remember television chops and edits out everything people say in their interviews and includes only what they want.  If I could have included everything on the 50 minute program in my episode I could have had a full length featured film.  But I wrote this synopsis for a 50 minute program.  It was spliced, chopped up and edited to suit television purposes.  People write me a lot and ask about the inconsistencies.  But what they don't realize is Television has their own agenda and their own purpose.  They don't ca

TV PERSONALITY, DEMONOLOGIST AND LITERARY PERFORMER CARL JOHNSON

Image
Carl L. Johnson  By Lana J. Brock Some of you may have heard of Carl L. Johnson.  He is a man with many talents.  He's known by many as a former T.A.P.S. Ghost Hunter member of the original Ghost Hunters team (that's before all the popularity) and had a chance to exercise his Demonologist role while with them.  He and his brother, Keith Johnson, both were involved with the humble beginnings of the televised series of Ghost Hunters, in the first 2 seasons, on the Syfy Channel (then SciFi Channel). Soon after, Carl became independently involved as a Demonologist for the Animal Planet's, "The Haunted".  He participated in 5 episodes of that series where he comes in to offer his assistance in the cleansing of homes infested with demonic activity. Carl, in his abundance of talents, has had a fondness for theatrical literary performances of such classics from Edgar Allan Poe and horror fictional writer H.P. Lovecraft, as he is charismatic and has a flare of cha

WHEN ALLAH COMES TO A CHRISTIAN

When Allah Comes To A Christian  Lookout Mountain, Lookout Valley in Chattanooga, Tennessee I wasn't looking for Allah, but Allah found me. This is Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga Tennessee, which I had visited back on July 6th to the 9th in 2022. This summer my life was tumultuously impacted by some unusual circumstances. Call it confusion of love and belonging, spirituality or feeling purpose, it all led me to a place where the only one who would find me crumbling onto the earth reaching out begging to be heard was Allah (God the One Creator of the universe). I felt abandoned by a person that I felt had attracted me to Islam. But somehow, he left me stranded to find the only true goodness of Islam and that is Allah. I had always thought my life as a Christian was solid, real, something I made happen. But my religious life was merely an outward expression of things I had learned from other people. Never once did I really understand the spiritual connection behind Christianity. Not
