Hi! I was wondering how Linda became involved in astrology? I know that she was born in West Virginia but also lived in New York, CA and for the remainder of her life in Cripple Creek, CO. Did she have a "guru" that influenced her interest and what prompted her to live in the states she did as well as what prompted her to move on? (I do know why she went to Cripple Creek). I also had a question about her passing. Was her family with her when she died? When was she diagnosed with diabetes? Any information would be appreciated.

Kstar

Hello KStar,
Linda was staying at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel when one of her caps came loose on her teeth...she went to the dentist but refused to have novacaine and insisted upon having sodium penathol. The dentist told Linda that before he could administer this he had to take a blood panel. During this test they discovered she had diabetes. This was in the early 90's. Linda drank alot of water which is often a sign of diabetes.
Linda passed on in hospital, her nurses were present.
Linda had several gurus in her life time or Druids she would also call them. The last one she was writing about in the unfinished and unpublished 'Twelfth Nights Secrets' was Dorva.
I hope this answers your questions.

Hello Kstar,

I was Linda's Nurse for two years and was with her when she passed away. She passed very peacefully and without pain. I was very lucky to know and love her.

A real blessing to have you here with us Janine. Thank you.

Hi Kelly-Anne and welcome Janine,
How comforting to know that Linda left our world in peace. What a blessing to have had the opportunity to be a part of "her world". I am puzzled though as to why none of her family were around - I don't want to "pry" were I have no business but it seemed to me that her children were one of the most important elements in her life. Does anyone keep in contact with her children currently?

Ooops, I posted some questions in "Linda's Ideas" that apparently could fit better in this topic.
Well, here is another question (oh all these questions! )
I read that Linda Goodman was a contestant for the Miss America Pageant. Is this correct?

LMB

Hello Kstar,
In response to your questions, Yes, Linda's children were a very important part of her life, however Linda's passing from this planet was unexpected, by everyone. Janine tried to contact her eldest son but he was away on business, the other son was in Hawaii and her daughter lived many hours away.
You are certainly keeping the team busy,we love it, keep it coming!!
Warmest wishes,
Kelly-Anne

Hi LMB,
Very interesting question, yes I have heard this before as well, I asked Crystal, she said Linda did not discuss it with her. We cannot confirm nor deny it at this stage, but we will endeavour to make further enquiries.
With love,
Kelly-Anne

hello and my love to everyone!!!

I just wanted to say out how i was feeling bcos i cant keep in these emotions.yknow guys,after reading gooberz i felt as though linda,this heavenly lady has done oh so much for us!shes even laid bare her soul,her life her love for us...for us to learn!!my god!is that sacrifice or is that sacrifice!has she hidden anything at all from us?i mean raw emotion,mistakes and all are something u hide from people but just look...she actually bared them all...for us!!indeed a messiah!

and yes...i had to relate an incident,very recent.i wanted gooberz since 5 years and finally i was getting it as a gift!!from a lovely angel friend and before my bday too!i thought...really,was this book meant to be given to me in this magical way?did god and linda want this?and just a day before i received the book,i was lying in bed reading a book,when i tasted,oh so truly had a taste of 'gooberz'chocolate peanuts in my mouth!!and ive never tasted them before!the feeling stayed for 5 minutes maybe but it was so real!can anyone please tell me what happened?!!please!
lots of love.

Kelly-Anne,
I was reading your first post on this page regarding Linda Goodman's "gurus" and you said that she had many, and called them "Druids". I am kind of confused. She spoke of Druids in "Gooberz" as being very different from druids-with-a-lower-case-d and was adamant about distinguishing the two. Did she really call her "gurus" Druids-with-a-capital-d and if so, why?

Thanks eversomuch,

LMB

Another question... (are you guys dizzy from questions yet? )

In the pocket of "Linda Goodman's Sun Signs", it is written that she appeared frequently on television throughout the country in the 60's and 70's, specifically on the David Susskind show. I've tried to get a viewing of that tape(s) but as you can imagine, it's been difficult. Just to imagine seeing Linda Goodman on TV, in "person" was so thrilling and I know would thrill so many others. I have no idea if any of you would know, but is there a way to gain access to the tapes?

LMB

Hello LMB,
In response to your question seeing Linda on T.V. Linda was on with Larry King live in the 70's. I ve watched this tape many times with Linda and I think you will enjoy it to. Try looking at your local Libary in video area sometimes they can order if they don't have it.
Good luck!
Janine

Hi KSRAR,
Linda's children were very important to her and I did try to contact all of them when she passed. I did reach Billy around 2am and he came as soon as he heard. Linda wasn't alone as I've said before, myself and another nurse {Nancy} were with her and she was loved very much by us both.Also to another question asked Linda did say something to me about being in the Miss Virginia pagent. Although I'm not sure where it went other than she was a hopefull. Linda was a very beautiful woman and not hard to beleive she wouldn't have won hands down.
Janine

Janine,
Thank you for your helpful answers to my questions. I will indeed look for the Larry King Live show.
The way I heard about Linda Goodman being in the Miss America pageant was from an article in the late 60's, I think, from a woman journalist who commented that she was a former Miss America contestant.
Thank you again for all of your help and I look forward to talking with you again.

LMB

Hi Everyone!

I was just wondering...could it be that linda has not really passed on but changed her body temple,so she still exists here?gooberz did point out something like that.does anyone know?and whatever happened to her twin s-elf?didnt they live happily ever after or was there more karma,more lessons to be learnt?oh my!im so curious because shes my favourite author,my guru.i hope she or one of her close ones englighten me?!
lots of love
shagun.

There is some discrepancies about Linda's birthday. I've read April 9th and elsewhere I've read April 19th. Could someone clarify? I think it was April 9th, but I'm not sure.

thanks,

LMB

April 9th

Hi LMB,

Crystal told me that Linda actually said her birthday was April 9th.......strangely enough our friend *Aries*Kate has a birthday on the same day......!!

Love and Laughter,
Kelly-Anne

Thanks to all. I was just confused b/c in a couple of magazine articles and/or newspaper obituaries, it said April 19th. But it stands corrected. I can't tell you how glad and grateful I feel to have such fortunate access to sources such as yourselves. And as friends, too! What a lucky bull I am!

LMB

In response to shagunj's inquiry about changing body temples: you know, I never really understood this when Linda wrote about it in Love Signs and Star Signs, but when I started delving into Rosicrucianism, a lot of what Linda said became clearer and opened up the picture significantly. I'm convinced Linda was a Rosicrucian, or at least heavily into studying it.
As for the Larry King Live stuff and Linda as a contestant in the Ms Virginia pageant, if anyone gets a hold of more info on these, please let me know too!

Hiii all!

Galileo...thanks for that peie of info...ill check out that thread!
