There will be a huge, earth-moving and universe-shaking “Love-In” for Scott Landis next Tuesday.
     As most of you are aware, Scott has been facing continual challenges since a heart valve replacement in early December. A second operation is now scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 28. We are hoping that when all his family and friends work together to harness the energies of the universe and beam them to Scott and his angels on Tuesday, our huge love will lend him the support he will need in this difficult time.
     Scott will be admitted into the hospital this weekend. We will post again if the date of the surgery changes, or the actual time is determined, but for now, wherever you are, let’s all send our love, prayers, and cosmic life forces to Scott from 10 AM to 2 PM Pacific Time. (Baja 11-3, Alaska 9-1)
Peace, Sue and Pete
