I love music, but I never learned to play a musical instrument until I decided last year in December that I wanted to play the drum. After seeing the movie The Visitor (2007) I felt that it would be fun to play the Djembé drum, just like the widowed professor Walter Vale (Richard Jenkins) expressed in the movie that it is not only fun to play the drum, but an expression of our zest for life.

At first I started taking some private drum lessons with a teacher at the Seattle Drum School Georgetown. For a couple months now I participate in Meetup group sessions SunshineGrove, which meet regularly on Tuesdays. The group sessions that I have attended so far have been very enjoyable, and the teacher and venue location are very good too.

If you live in this area and enjoy the world of percussion and even would like to take up drumming lessons in a diverse educational environment check out this group.

As you already know from my tweets on Twitter, I am further concerned with spreading the knowledge that numbers exert a subtle influence in our daily lives. Slowly I start to offer workshops at physical locations in the Bellevue and Seattle area. Individual consultations are also taken into account if so desired. In the coming weeks I will transform my site www.sumuniversal.com so that interested people can find additional information on these workshops and other issues. In addition I will continue writing about my personal experiences here in the greater Seattle area and overseas.

My dear Readers:

I feel it’s the right moment again to write something noteworthy.

Firstly, I wish you all the best for the coming year and the company of good and truthful friends.

Secondly, I would like to share with you a recent discovery. And you can call it interesting or ?

Like many others I had followed the election process, the election ceremonies, and the inauguration day. On the day of the inauguration I decided to look up the US Presidents on the Wikipedia site. There I noticed something that I found at the least to say interesting because it shows again some unique data links to my personal data.

To explain this matter clearly I mention at first the Presidents I’m referring to:

12. President:  Zachary Taylor (November 24, 1784 – July 9, 1850)

13. President:  Millard Fillmore (January 7, 1800 – March 8, 1874) - Inauguration date: July 9, 1850

35. President (actually 34th President Person):  John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)

36. President (actually 35th President Person):  Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973) - Inauguration date: November 22, 1963

Most presidents came into office either in January, March, April, August, or September. Only 2 presidents came into office in July and November. And these are Millard Fillmore and Lyndon Baines Johnson with whom I share some important data.

1. The 13. President replaced the 12. President. My father died on 12/13.

2.  Millard Fillmore became the 13. President on July 9, 1850. I married on July 9.

3. My destiny number is number 7, and Millard Fillmore was born on day 7, which is his invigoration number.

4. The 36. President, Lyndon Baines Johnson who replaced the 35. President, came into office on the birthday of my boyfriend Michael Pasig (November 22) who I also mention in my book. I would like to mention here that the birthday of my boyfriend should be checked because I heard from a third source that this day had been his birthday.

5.  Lyndon Baines Johnson’s birthday is on the day (August 27) I immigrated to the USA.

6. The number 7 shows up in Johnson’s life when adding up all numbers of his inauguration day (11+22+1963=1996 and 1+9+9+6=25 and 2+5=7) and his day of death (1+22+1973=1996 and 1+9+9+6=25 and 2+5=7).

7. The number 7 also shows up noticeably in Kennedy’s life when adding up all numbers of his birth date (5+29+1917=1951 and 1+9+5+1=16 and 1+6=7) and his day of death (11+22+1963=1996 and 1+9+9+6=25 and 2+5=7).

Now, to sum this up, I find these data connections at the least striking.

A couple weeks ago I decided to participate in Eckhart Tolle’s and Oprah’s New Earth classes, which are delivered through webcast streaming over the Internet.

The classes start every Monday night for 10 weeks starting March 3 at 9/8c. Oprah and other people ask Eckhart questions that deal with his most recent book A New Earth - Awakening to your Life’s Purpose.

To participate in this class one is asked to read his latest book. Therefore I ordered at the beginning of February 2008 two of his books, The Power of Now and A New Earth. I found both books very enlightening and in concurrence with my life experiences and shift in consciousness, and the writings in my book.

I also find the class very interesting and it’s a pleasure to see that others feel the same way. I also have questions for Eckhart, therefore I asked him yesterday another question, and I referred to his book pg. 277.
If you feel the stillness or nothingness while standing extremely close to another person and later you notice a commonality, is that a proof of “a deeper connectedness” (see pg. 277; the number 277 is my numerical equivalent; in my book I point out that even Jung believed that the spheres of matter and psyche have a tangible connection through numbers)?

You probably have experienced the same thing. Sometimes we ask a question though we already know subconsiously the answer. Namaste!

Yesterday, I read an article about the damaging effects that the carcinogens in cigarettes have on women, and the stories of four women who quit the habit and became nonsmokers. Today, I read in my hometown’s newspaper that a smoking ban is enacted, covering all public transportations and government agencies in Germany. Even in Germany, smokers are less welcomed.

Since I know from first-hand how hard it is to quit smoking, I like to share my own story so that you learn of another stop-smoking trick. This creative way certainly worked for me. Now, I’m a non-smoker for over 10 years.

It all started in early 1996 when I came down with a severe bronchitis. I couldn’t smoke a cigarette for about three weeks; breathing and smoking was just too painful. After the bronchitis was gone, I decided that I wanted to quit smoking. Therefore I thought of a method that would ease the nicotine withdrawal and break the habit of holding a cigarette in my hand.

First and foremost, I decided that I never again wanted to inhale nicotine smoke from a lit cigarette. Though I kept on lighting a cigarette for about three quarter of a year, I never again fully inhaled the smoke. I only lit the cigarette and smoked it like a pipe without inhaling the smoke. This method already changed the taste of smoking. The cigarette itself tasted pretty nasty. Since the taste of the cigarette itself was so disgusting, I lit less and less cigarettes during the withdrawal process. Over time I weaned myself away from a nicotine addiction and broke free of a smoking routine, and eventually stopped altogether.

I haven’t smoked a cigarette for over 10 years. I used to love it, but now I neither like the smell of it nor do I have any cravings for it. And my taste and smell sense are now much better than they were when I had been a smoker.

Keep in mind, if you really like to quit smoking, it actually starts with the conscious decision to quit smoking. Thereafter, you will have to find a method that accommodates your way of changing habits, and the commitment of following through with it. As so many others have done it, including myself, it’s doable.

Recently, I received a letter from a World Vision worker, which included the 2007 annual progress report for Fatoumata, a picture of her, and a drawing made by Fatoumata. Due to privacy concerns, I’ll not display a picture of Fatoumata on the web site. But I can show you how the report looks like. As you can see from the report below, the information given is in regards to her health, school activities, her hobbies and contribution to her family life.

After having visited different physicians including a gastroenterologist on May 9, 2005 and having different lab tests done, I received from an investigation company, ordered by my insurance company, a letter inquiring whether someone else is responsible for paying the medical bills. I wish I could have told them that someone else is responsible. But the physicians I had contacted either had shrugged off the problem or told me that they thought that the x-ray machines had not caused the damage.

I know that I had been perfectly healthy before I underwent these two preventive procedures: mammogram and DEXA scan. Since the nail of my thumb had been burnt and the DEXA scanner had been close to my thumb, I believe now that the damage occurred during the DEXA scan procedure, but I didn’t have the proof neither then nor now.

Though the symptoms are gone, I don’t know what kind of effect this will have on my body in the future. And besides being sick for almost a half-year and feeling very uncomfortable because of not knowing how this had happened, I was additionally punished by paying always these $20.00 co-payments per doctor visit and for lab tests. But the worst part was being sick and nobody cared to investigate why this had happened.

World Vision makes it very easy to communicate with your sponsored child. If your child cannot write yet or a language barrier exists, a World Vision worker will write you in the name of the sponsored child. The child I’m sponsoring is fife years old and speaks French.

Though I learned French in school, my French language skills are very modest. But I would like to write in French to this girl. Recently, I received a letter from World Vision that included a neat birthday card for Fatoumata with an age-appropriate drawing puzzle on the back of the card.

I took this opportunity and wrote a brief birthday wish in French on the card and mailed it to World Vision, which will deliver the card to Fatoumata. She will get the card way ahead of her birthday, which is in November.

I hope Fatoumata will enjoy the card as well as her birthday celebration with other kids of her family and community members, and I’ll hear from her through her World Vision worker.
