Eve Returns/Question Selection

Gentle Readers,

I have been away for a bit, on an extravagant adventure to Outer Mongolia. I went spontaneously on a journey at the invitation of a dear old friend who was retiring from his post at the Asian Wall Street Journal. He created an incredible adventure for a small group of friends in celebration of his life. His retirement was unexpected and sudden, due to the discovery of a terminal illness or at least that is the way his doctors phrased it. To me, this beautiful spirit had decided it was time to make his exit and he bid farewell to all his friends by throwing this wild and generous 3 week traveling adventure. Yes, I was lucky to be there and I have to say, I did not miss the "real world". Being in the outer realms on this beautiful planet helps you remember who you really are without all your gizmos and gadgets and chit chat. And reminds us, as the cliche says, what is really important. My dear friend Andre, you will be missed.

Now, my readers, I want to remind you, as I have returned to a pile of emails, that I go through the questions sent to me and pick out the ones that I feel will be the most interesting to my readers, so I apologize that I cannot answer every question that is sent to me.

Also, I want to remind you that it is important that you narrow your questions to ONE question and really focus on that and give us a little context to make it interesting. Please do not be stingy and send me one dry little line. Flesh it out a little if you want to catch my interest. If you want to know something about your relationship, what exactly do you want to know? There is so much to look at in relationships. What aspect of the relationship? I don't like questions that are extremely vague and indicate to me that the writer is hiding under a rock, afraid to be looked at. Energy is real, just ask any physicist. Actually, I could refer you to a few in particular, I've had two beaus who were scientists, and they were geniuses and gentlemen in more ways than one. But let me not digress down memory lane...Please, if you are not sure that you believe in energy, psychics, and are afraid of having your aura read --don't write to me. An old psychic lady like me does not have the patience to track you down and convince you to come out from under your rock and open up to spirit.

Oh dear, it looks like today is turning into a bit of a rant. Well, maybe Ms. Eve is feeling a bit cranky today. You see, I am far from perfect. In fact, perfect is seldom used in my vocabulary except maybe to describe the first forkful of hot chocolate lava cake after a long day.

Dears, I'll get back to the column tomorrow. I guess I am in a bit of mourning for my friend and I have shown you the cantankerous old biddy that lies beneath the surface of glamorous me. Cranky Eve occasionally emerges and reveals her impatience with the silliness of the world. Now, where is that chocolate cake?

Love, Ms. Eve.
