WORLD PREDICTIONS FOR 2012

Posted on December 15, 2011

It is difficult to know exactly when some patterns will manifest in the physical world, or whether the events will have less or more impact in terms of what was sensed beforehand. I tend to be uncannily accurate sometimes, and at other times, I'm years off, with no way to know at the time when a pattern is picked up. But my spirit guides tend to be highly accurate, regardless. Sometimes I almost don’t write things down. And then, when I do they tend to happen. Sometimes it amazes even me after all these years. I wait for the outcomes of these predictions the same as you! This year many of last year's predictions will continue to be very important!

The WORLD WILL NOT END in 2012, but there will be MAJOR CHANGES all around the planet and you are sure to be included in some of those changes. Prepare to be amazed and astonished this year!
