"Winter Storm Iago is exiting stage right," says Winter Weather Expert Tom Niziol. Iago moved off off the coast of Cape Cod and into the Atlantic on Friday, but not before dumping snow and ice on a huge swath of the U.S. It left a dangerous morning commute in its wake. 

"Even after Iago was gone, temperatures dropping below freezing caused concerns about black ice and lingering snow on the ground from Mississippi to Virginia," says weather.com Sr. meteorologist Jon Erdman.

There came a time in the universe for many beings to come in to Earth, and so a great line formed on the other side of the veil. Many people got ready to come in and said, "It looks like it is going to happen. We are all going in here." And all the people who thought they could make a difference got in line, ready to take a turn in a body.

 

Then a magical thing happened. Someone at the front of the line turned around and looked at the person behind him and said, "You know, you have a better chance of making a difference than I do. I am going to step aside and ask you to move to the front of the line." And that soul moved aside so that this one could go forward, and one by one, each being stepped aside so that the souls with the finest possibilities of creating heaven on Earth could move to the forefront.

Heaven Letters Published on: January 19, 2013

God said:

To be original means to live the Truth of who you are. It means no more imitating. It means that you rise higher. If you want to feel good, rise higher. Rising higher is what feels good. You are fast approaching the days you have sought all your life. You are entering a new stratosphere of your life where you are closer to the beat of your own heart.

 

To thine own self be true. This is when, right now. It is not comfortable to be false to your self. It doesn’t feel good at all to be less than your True Self. First, find out who you really are. Discover the underlying you. In service to others does not mean erasing your self and your self-worth.

The rainforests in southern and western Amazonia may be showing the first signs of potential large-scale degradation due to climate change as Amazon rainforest continues to suffer from the effects of a megadrought that began in 2005, attributed to the long-term warming of tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures. During the summer of 2005, more than 700,000 square kilometers or 70 million hectares (270,000 square miles) of old-growth forest in southwestern Amazonia experienced an extensive, severe drought which caused widespread changes to the forest canopy that were detectable by satellite. The changes suggest dieback of branches and tree falls, especially among the older, larger, more vulnerable canopy trees...

Lava dome growth and effusion of a viscous lava flow continue at Shiveluch volcano, accompanied by moderate fumarolic activity and incandescence. Satellite imagery showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano all week. Eruption’s at four cinder cones producing fluid lava flows on the S part of the fissure on the flank of Tolbachik continues.
