Listen at 3:30 est today when Tuning in with Betsy marks 5 years on the air. Yes, and it seems like just yesterday when I first took to the airwaves at Blog Talk Radio with a small audience which has grown past 90,000. From Wednesday at 9 pm to a daily podcast about the mystical, metaphysical, psychic, paranormal and spiritual, glad you took the trip with me. The journey continues.
Tuning in with Betsy's aim was to help guide people through challening times and it still is.
Decembe 20, 2006 I was joined by my friend Diane Linke for the inaugural launch of TIWBetsy.
And the rest is history as they say.
To all my listeners and friends I wish to say thank you x a Google.
Merry Christmas.

Being Frank December Appearance
I'll be shooting a segment on the Being Frank Show, on Monday, December 5th. I am happy, enthusiastic and excited. I'm a fan of the show and to be booked on one of my favorite late night talk shows is a super thrill for this Toronto gal. I'll be chatting with Frank about my book Being Mystic in Touch with God.
Frank D'Angelo is the host and an A-1 singer. Always entertaining that's Frank D'Angelo.
Not sure of the exact date my segment airs but I feel safe in assuming (uh oh, never assume) that it could very well be Friday night, December 9th going into the wee smal hours, of December 10th when Being Frank begins at 1 am.
Stay tuned. Will keep you posted. CHCH Ch. 11 in the Golden Horseshoe

Say It Ain't So Joe Pa!
Unfortunately it is. I'm from Pennsylvania where Joe Paterno walks on water and is the Pope of Pa. Since Monday shock waves have been spreading out from Pleasant Valley, Pa. home of Penn State University and Beaver Stadium. An idyllic college town nestled in the mountains, it's been hit by the shock heard round the world.
This past weekend a retired football coach was named in a child abuse case/sexual assault that took place at Penn State in 2002.
Upon being informed of this event Joe Pa notified his higher up in the chain of command at Penn State. He did not notify the police.
Ten years later this lapse of judgment or lack of a moral compass has come home to bite Coach P on his butt. No one in Pennsylvania could ever imagine the day Paterno would not be coaching the Nittany Lions. Imagine it this Saturday because that is the day Joe Pa will not be pacing back and forth on the sidelines.
I was there New Year's Eve in Miami, Fla., 1973 when Penn State was in the Orange Bowl. It was fantastic to be young, broke and in downtown Miami rooting on Penn State with so many other northerners in town. Dionne Warwick was lip synching on her special float, but to me it was the Penn State mascot, dreassed up as the ever energetic lion that roared who strutted his stuff to PSU's marching band.
I had no money for a ticket to that game. But fast forward to New Year's Day 1979 when the 2 greatest college football coaches that ever have lived were meeting in New Orleans inside the Superdome. Bear Bryant and Joe Paterno. 'Bama kicked our butts that year, but now i can say Roll Tide with the best of them. It just didn't feel too good losing that afternoon but Time heals all wounds.
Yet another memory is of the 1968 bowl game when Penn State was losing terribly. I got so upset and disgusted I turned off the tv. I couldn't take it anymore. Imagine my surprise the next day to hear Penn State had won! I was in shock. Impossible! But true. Somehow they came from behind and won while Betsy Balega was making a late night snack in the kitchen in Shamokin, Pa.
And then there was 1972 when the New England Patriots offered Joe the job of head coach. He turned them down. I was shocked again. But I learned the power of college football in America.
One day you're the cock of the walk, the next day you're a feather duster.
Thanks for the memories, Joe.

Andy Rooney It Got Complicated He'll Be Missed
By now you know the 60 Minutes curmudgeon sucuumbed last night to complications from minor surgery. That is nothing new under the OR lights. It's very common for a patient to have minor surgery performed but to pick up a 'bug' in the hospital and have a more serious illness develop
which leads to their death. This is what happened in Rooney's case.
To say Andy Rooney was one of a kind is saying Frank's Hot Sauce is a 'litle bit hot.' When he got riled up he let loose on Sunday nights around 7:55 pm on CBS's 60 Minutes. He never disappointed.
Smart, witty, never afraid to complain about gadgets, gizmos, or anything else that annoyed him about these Modern Times, Rooney was informative, entertaining and my gosh, he made you think. Then, after a bit of thinking, you'd say, "Holy hell! He's right." He was right quite often.
Andy Rooney is a tough act to follow. His writing desk impossible to fill. He truly was one of a kind. A few years back someone sent me his essay on Women Over 40. By the time I was done reading it I would've bought him dinner at Le Bernadin for a year. That's how good it made me feel. He's made all of us feel good over the years.
Where is he now? Probably informing God Himself what to change down here on earth. And that's okay with me.

Mike James Killer Caught My Connection
It was a joy to pick up the Toronto Star today and see the 'alleged' serial killer caught here in Toronto. This marcisiistic 'rapper' who in mho is a sociopath thinks he'll beat the rap.
I think not.
My connection to this case is simple. Last year one of Mike James' friends came to see me and Mike came through loud and clear from the Other Side of Life, to tell his mother, his killer would be caught and brought to justice.
Congrats to the Toronto Police Dept. and the detectives working on this case.
You deserve a break today and you got it.
Well done is not enough.
Thanks for keeping delusional killers off our terrific Toronto streets.

Justice for Amanda Knox
4 years in an Italian prison is not the way I'd like to experience the Eternal City.
I watched the BBC's live broadcast in the wee small hours of the morning, 4:30 am edt,
of Ms. Knox pleading her case after her ex boyfriend, Raphael, pleaded his case be
overturned.
This judicial fiasco is just one example of how an innocent person can be tossed into
jail indefinitely when the clues and evidence don't add up.
In this case 2+2 did not = 4. Well, as a matter of fact it did, 4 years of an undeserved
sentence for Murder One.
Thank God the jury, mainly females, overturned the previous guilty to not guildty just a
few minutes ago.
Thank You God. There really is justice in this crazy world.
It may take awhile but stand up for what you believe to be right, true and unmistakebly,
irrefutably God's Honest Truth.
Hope Amanda Knox catches the first flight back home to the good old U.S.A.
Congrats!

David Irving on TIWBetsy 4:30 Call in 646-915-9574
Take 2. Yesterday the infamous studio switchboard, at Tuning in with Betsy, was acting as if it was starring in the remake of The Exorcist. No stand in needed.
My guest was to be vegan author, David Irving from Upstate New York .
Well Sleepy Hollow! The switchboard showed no number from Upstate New York.
In fact, it showed no numbers at all, included my own and I was broadcasting
which is impossible to do without my phone line from Toronto connecting to the number
in San Diego, and joining the central constrol station in New York City.
Who needs solar flares when the switchboard is in a snit.
Hopefully, the gremlins are gone and you can chat with David at 4:30 this afternoon.
Chat soon.

Share Your Coincidences on Tuning in With Betsy 4:30
Coincidences are no coincidence. Today on Tuning in with Betsy, I will be taking your calls at 646-915-9574 to hear your true stories of coincidences.
Coincidence shows are the most popular at Tuning in with Betsy. I had a few coincidences this weekend at my book signing for Being Mystic in Touch with God, in Windsor, Ontario at Chaptes bookstore.
Thankfully, I schedule the signing for Saturday afternoon 1-4 and not on Sunday, which I had considered. Yesterday, just before 4 pm, a tornado, which started as a water spout on Lake Huron, decided it was time to jump off the lake and land on the land as a tornado.
Goderich, Ontario is now in a state of emergency. Churches, businesses, homes have been battered and scattered throughout the town which is called "the prettiest town in Canada." The civic pride is still there but it's time to give our neighbors to the SW of Toronto some compassion and caring. Giving a monetary contribution to get Goderich back on its feet ain't a bad idea either. Check your local papers, radio and tv stations to see where you can send a contribution asap.

No More Kate Plus 8! Who Cares?
Certainly not moi. I was never a fan of the original 2 parent show with their 8 gosslings. And I never became a fan once Father Goose left. What always astounds me about reality tv is that people become 'famous' and the money flows as a given, doing what comes naturally. And no, I don't mean procreating. I mean tv cameras followed this couple around with their 8 children in tow, under all kinds of situations.
You and I do the same things, but are never recorded for TLC's ratings.
And hey! How bout those great free vacations. Used, I suppose to boost ratings. And the cross publicity on other TLC shows, when Kate rode a motorcycle. Her screech heard in the promo commercial is only second to Mary Murphy's the queen of screech on So You Think You Can Dance. Thank You Jesus for the remote at my fingertips.
And now there are none. Of course, you could all tell it was time to say nighty night. How much longer will the Cake Boss be around? Is there longevity in familia? For Kate Gosslein, apparently not. I'm surprised Kate never showed up at Carlo's Bakery for a birthday cake for her kids. Wouldn't that be a May/November Sweep ratings show.
Now what will she do? More importantly how are the kids going to adjust to real life with no cameras on them? We shall see if the Pa. lawmakers were right. Should be interesting.
And on another note, God bless Russell Armstrong. I had no clue who he was until I heard of his death last night on tv (of course). This is a prime example of the damage done of intruding cameras on people and their every move. His marriage went from the pebbles to the rocks. And now he will be underground, 6 feet under, at rest, hopefully, after a tumultuous last few months.
These are only 2 reasons why I am fussy about the television shows I watch.
Stay tuned.

Being Mystic Book Signing Aug.13 Chapters Guelph
I look forward to signing copies of my first book, Being Mystic in Touch with God, tomorrow, Saturday, August 13 at the Chaptes bookstore at the Old Stone Mall, 435 Old Stone Rd. West in Guelph, Ontario, from 12 noon - 6 pm.
Being Mystic is the book for you if you are trying to learn to meditate, relax, and detach from the hi tech world that surrounds us. Besides this tecky track that the world seems to be spinning on, there is a much calmer, peaceful, mystical world surrounding us. We have access to it every day (and night too). All we need is to let go of the tv remote, smart phones, iPads, notebooks and anything else that seems attached at your right hand. Or, if your a south paw, your left hand.
I challenge you to detach for one day a week to go sit in a park, take a trip outside of the city, to a nature preserve, or enjoy a visit to your local planetarium. If you don't have a planetarium, lucky you, go outside and look up. Your saving grace is at hand. It's the unseen world surrounding you and me, filled with so many cosmic mysteries that are a treasure from God Himself. (or Herself, if you're a radical feminist).
So until tomorrow, relax, let go of that gizmo and take time to breathe. Focus on your breathing and enjoy a sense of inner calm.
Be blessed.
