Hi!!Knowflakes
Well I don't know where to start as I have so much on my mind.Also this is first time I am getting into this group discussion. Lately I have been reading Gooberz and many other books by Linda.After reading these books I was really confused about the following things and I would really appreciate if someone would clear my doubts.

1.How many children does Linda Goodman have?
I would like to know their proper order as in who was her first born? Second? Third? Fourth? annd so on.
2.How did Sally dissappear?
3.Also how many times had Linda married? And the full names of her husbands? Also the order in which she married them?

Now reading this questionnaire everybody is going to think that I am being very inquisitive and it is none of my business but it is not so because I personally think that Linda was a public figure in the sense that she was known to the world by and through her books. Now whosoever has read Gooberz, (and the pages where Linda has acknowledged or thanked people close to her or who helped her write the book.The pages in the beginning of all her books), will definately and very surely wonder who they were and how were they related to her?
Also I think all her fans have a right to know all this cause Gooberz is the book where Linda has opened all her very private relationships to the entire world.So her relationships were not secrets.
By asking her husband's and children's names I only want to understand more clearly about her life and Gooberz.

Love,joy and eternal peace
Babusha.

dearest Babusha,
Welcome to the forum with lots of Love and Light to see you through.

Personally, I like your sense of curiosity and the need to seek the TRUTH of everything. I feel that it shouldn't really matter whether or not Linda had lead that life written out in Gooberz, or even her life that she lead in the present or in her past lives. The most important thing that I can say is that, dear Linda wrote Gooberz and all her other books for a very special reason, even i could not begin to know what. But she has written them and it all has a personal meaning to every individual especially Gooberz.
Remember what she said about Gooberz?,...
she said the book belongs to some other higher pOwers which she knows not of, it has a mind of its own.
So, for whatever source the book came from, it is a story, a different story, which takes you into a journey and an experience in which you'll never forget.

Peace and Love,
NeptunianMe

Benevolent BABUSHA,

I am no expert on Linda Goodman's personal life, but perhaps if I post what I "know," those who are wiser than I can correct any inaccuracies.

Linda's first husband, according to an article in the 11/27/95 edition of "PEOPLE" magazine, on page 139, was named William Snyder and he was a writer. Linda had 2 children by him. In order (as you can see in the dedicatory pages at the front of "Love Signs") they were:

Sarah Elizabeth Snyder (Sally)--Sagittarius
William Dana Snyder -- Aquarius

Linda's second husband, whom she married in 1955, was Sam Goodman. He was a radio announcer whom she met when she went to work for a radio station in Pittsburgh. Their two children were:

Jill Kemery Goodman -- Capricorn
Michael Aaron Goodman -- Scorpio

According to the "PEOPLE" magazine article
(and God knows they are NOT the most reliable, trustworthy and scholarly publication!) Linda's oldest daughter, Sally, was a 21 year old aspiring actress in 1973 when she overdosed on Demerol in her New York City apartment. Supposedly, Linda's husband Sam Goodman identified the body of his stepdaughter and had it cremated. Linda Goodman, however, never believed that it was her daughter, so I really wouldn't know.

Evidently, "Goober" was the name of Linda Goodman's lover named Robert Brewster. The article gives Robert Brewster's occupation as being a Marine Biologist. I think Linda met him in 1970. He later left her. Linda continued to set a place for him at her table, in order to manifest his return.

I hope this helps satisfy some of your curiosity. I apologize profusely for any inaccuracies, and also for any offense that might be mistakenly infered from anything I have written. If anyone else can set the record straight, so to speak, please do. I shall not be in the least offended to acknowledge any error I may have made, and shall gratefully accept any further input.

LIght and LOve,

Robert Chancellor

Sir Robert...(curtsey).......I do believe her Goober was named Brewer......in Gooberz she said he returned, after his long absence.........but I guess he left again....as he was not with her when she 'died.'........I read somewhere that he was with the calm, cool scorpio, she wrote about in Gooberz......

Luv and peace,
Rainbow~

Dear Babuksha ... thank you for your questions that revealed sensitive answers ... welcome to this wonderful site !

Dearest Robert and Rainbow ... thank you ...

and

Dearest NeptunianMe ... thank you for such a soulful and sensitive answer ...
PS : I'm sure you TWINsELF is close at hand ...

love ... druid

Thank you so much, Right and Rectifying RAINBOW!!!

You are absolutely correct. It is "Brewer," NOT "Brewster." She has a dedication to him in her book "Star Signs." Much gratitude for nipping my mistake in the bud. I would edit my incorrect spelling in my above posting, but then people wouldn't know how much you helped in setting things aright!

Bless you,

Robert Chancellor

Sir Robert

Luv,

------------------

You have all answered so beautifully! One question though, one I hope does not appear to be rude, but was 'goober' Linda's Twin Self? i would very much like to know.

Much Love,

Laura

Libra LAURA MC,

Linda Goodman certainly seemed to give every indication that she thought "Goober" aka Robert A. Brewer was her "Twin Self." Was he REAllY? I don't know, and I don't think anyone here could say for sure one way or the other. Still, if anyone could know, it ought to have been Linda herself.

rc

I was wondering if anyone knew why Robert left our dear Linda, returned and left again. Was he off possibly off doing research for his field?

Also, I was wondering what Sam thought about Linda not believing it was Sally. Is that what ended their marriage? Was Sam close to his stepchildren?

Linda said in one of her books that she proved it wasn't Sally; does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,
Auriel

Dear NeptunianMe,Rainbow,druid33,Morning Storm and especially Mr.Robert Chancellor

I thank you all for being kind enough to answer all my questions.It is really sad to know that when Linda passed on Robert.A.Brewer was not there by her side.
Anyways I also wanted to know that in Gooberz Linda talks about first marrying William Snyder . She also mentions very clearly that he was her "twin self" and that they had been seperated for some 10 yrs or so (after some years of their marriage)when one day he died.
After this she was lonesome without him and missed him a lot and also wrote in her book that that was their karmic soul test.But she also says in her book that twin selves cannot be seperated permanently as the power that created them is all powerful and indestructible.Nobody can break the bond between them not even themselves.Their bond may be temporarily weakened, their final conssumation delayed but eventually they combine as one spiritual being,(twin selves may temporarily be earth seperated never permanently),and when they unite as one, the happiness and joy they claim is unbelievable.
(I strongely believe in what is written above.These words have been written by Linda in the foreword of her book "Love Signs".) Also in the book when she meets her guru(gee-u-r-u) she is told that in December 1970 she will be meeting her twin self again,(after the death of William Snyder), whom she had met and been with in many of her past incarnations and this one too but she would be meeting him in a different soul temple.(that is her twin self(William)but this time round in a different body. Which she did on, I think, the 7th of December in Pickwick store whose name was Robert.A.Brewer.She recognised his soul.She recognised him to be her twin self.William had come back to her in another body with another name. As Linda has always said that the saying"eyes are windows to the soul" was absolutely true.
But in all this What I exactly want to know is that where does this leave Sam.O.Goodman.That obviously means that he was not Linda's twin self.Am I right or wrong?
Also I would want to know whether Linda and Sam ended their marriage through divorce?
According to the information available this also means that Linda and Robert did not have any children.Can anyone tell me whether Robert is still amongst us or whether even he has passed on to another world?

Thank you very much once again for being so patient with me and please feel free to correct anything that I have written you feel is wrong.

Love and laughter
Babusha.

GREETINGS

Anything that I may say here is on "public record" (just go to your local library and do a search for Linda, there is a People magazine article, I would be glad to give you the exact date, I don't have it in front of me at the moment) so I trust I am not smuggling any secrets or going public with anything desired to be confidential by the WISEST OF WOMEN.

In the PEOPLE article it does say that Linda and Sam were separated (to the best of my knowledge, they had never legally divorced at the time of Sam's passing, which was after the article was published) and enjoyed a close Brother/Sister relationship. Linda did believe that Bob Brewer was her "Carousel Bill" altho it does NOT say that in the People article. We, her readers KNOW that, from what she shared with us in her amazing bOOks. The body temple that, at least for awhile, housed Linda's Gooober is alive and well. As Linda and Bob, they did not have any children

Much Love

Hello Bubusha......and SWEET Essence......

I was astounded when I learned that Linda died.....after reading Gooberz, I just assumed that she and her goober, Robert, were living happily ever after in Cripple Creek.....so after learning of her death, I even tried to get in touch with him thru the internet....to no avail.....to find out why she died....I just had a difficult time believing it......

Since coming here, I learned that he was not with her when she passed....and that disappointed me greatly! Then I read on the Amazon book page (the one about Relationship Signs), where someone said he went back to that calm, cool scorpio, Linda wrote about in Goooberz ......it froze my heart! ....... He and Linda were so in love....how could he do that to her???? (if THAT IS what happened!)....anyway, someone who seemed to know, wrote it.....

Luv,
Rainbow~

Dear Babusha

A WARM WELCOME to this PRECIOUS PLACE

p.s. - SWEET Rainbow

Dear Essence
Thank you for the warm welcome and also for the information that you shared with us.

Lots of Love
Babusha.

Dear Beautiful Rainbow,
I read your message. I do not know whether Robert Brewer went back to the cool and calm Scorpio or not.Since someone has written this(even I remember reading it somewhere but cannot recall) it must be so.
I wanted to share something with you and everybody else who is interested.For that if you would have to be kind enough to go to the thread"Linda,Twelth Night Secrets and her Twin" and read the message I have posted to Shagunj.(I sent the mesage today itself that is the 17th of August 1999).
After you read it I would like to know what you think. Please do not hesitate to point out anything you think is wrong or anthing that you disagree with.

Lots of Love
Babusha.

dearest Robert,

Thank you, you are quite right! I shall just have to ask Linda herself!

Love and light

laura

It is inconceivable to think that Robert, Lindas' Twin, could leave her for the cool Scorpio. It's just shattering.

Could it be possible that he at that incarnation did not pass his soul test????

If so, they are surly trying again, for how could he be complete with another??

And if thats true, ppor soul, to have KNOWN and then fallen, how SAD he must be!!!! And if that sad, Linda would KNOW it, and perhaps at her Saturn Seven Return she changed body temples,even perhaps with the cool scorpio.

And so how can any of us on the outside KNOW?? Let's put our ultimate TRUST in LOVE
as Linda would want.

I am so eager to understand the Saturn 7 Cycle and yet it remains beyond my grasp. My 7th Saturn 7 Cycle is coming up (that sound MAJOR doesn't it) and I hope I can UNDERSTAND before it hits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trusting,
Annie

And if I may interject something here that perhaps does not belong here, it is in this light of BELIEVING, that I was NOT saddened for John Kennedy and his wife when their plane crashed....tho i was for Caarolyns sister. Immediately, i BELIEVED that having found their TWIN Selves in each other they CHOSE to move on to another plane where they can enjoy SOLELY their togetherness and the rest of their public life had no longer any meaning for them. I believe it was a choice and that they are FREE and ecstatically happy.

Of course I feel sad for all the grieving family members (but if they KNEW...) and mostly for the dear sister.

Does this make sence to anyone??
Annie

I think it all sounds very strange and confused. Did Linda have Twin Souls who were incarnated into different bodies in the same lifetime like the pieces of Osiris; like Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere? Being seperated into different bodies is just such a WEIRED thought. I believe we are ALL connected anyway.

I've read "Sun Signs", and the strange passages of "Love Signs". How could Linda know so much about us all? Why was she so speciall? Where can I read the "real biography" of Linda (not a novel)? Where can I found out about the people near to her, and about her children? Where are they now?
Once I read Linda had died penniless(?)
Why did her husband decide to live inside the dog's house?
How was Linda's character?
Is there any film or tv programm about her?

Please, I would be very grateful if someone could help me with these questions.

Dear Knowflakes,
Not long after Linda said Goodbye to us on this planet, I was suffering badly her loss and I so needed to know more,..to feel close to her once more....I contacted GOOBER,.... I even took a flight to where he now resides in the hope that he would see me...I had been previously warned by everyone close to LINDA that he will not speak to anyone about her and not to expect that I would be granted any time with him....I thought that if I was geographically close to him that he would find it difficult to refuse me ...Sadly, although he was very sweet on the phone, he said that he preferred not to talk about his relationship with LINDA...and did not wish to meet with me personally...
I was hurt at the time but now I understand much better his possible reasons for staying quiet and maintaining his privacy...
With the LOVE, RESPECT and enormous following that our dear LINDA has throughout the WORLD,the interest in her LIFE with GOOBER, it would be very difficult for him to be under this spotlight and to maintain some measure of normality.

Sometimes we have to remove ourselves from the deep emotional attachment that we have for someone and sit back and lOOk at things from everyone's viewpoint...it can be difficult when emotion rules our judgement.

It was tragic because I did not expect LINDA to leave this planet for a very long time ...I thought I had her as my companion for life, we had TOO much to do,too much planned and I was as shocked as everyone else.

Just hours before her passing, we were discussing a CHILDREN'S book and the importance of teaching children about the planets and the characteristics of their particular SIGN.
LINDA told me a lovely story about a little eight year old girl she had befriended whilst she was in the hospital and how she was teaching this little one all about her place in the UNIVERSE through her map in the STARS.

I did not mean to ramble on and normally I like to be respectful of people's privacy, however I am sure that I haven't said anything here that would upset either LINDA or GOOBER.

LOVE and BLESSINGS to YOU all,

Crystal.

Dearest Crystal

As EVER we are so BLESSED to KNOW yOu !!!

Much LOVE

Dear Crystal,

Thank you so much for sharing that information. Although so disappointing for you, and us, I think it is very admirable of Gooober not to discuss his relationship with Linda. What an evolved Lion he is.

I guess that's why she loved him so

Dear Crystal,
That was such a wonderful gift you have given us, letting us share your knowledge in the person we are all here because of. I'd like to thank you so much for opening up

"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves."

Lots of Love
Seamistress

As always sweet Essence..my Thanks to you for your kind words and eternal presence here...Always kind, always smiling.

My dear Lindy, you are so right,silence can be so comfortable...My MOTHER used to say a secret is only a secret if it is shared between two people..if a third person knew then it was no longer a secret...Maybe GOOBER feels like this, even though LINDA shared so much with us, perhaps what is left he feels is to be cherished between themselves alone.

Dear sensitive Seamistress,
Greg and I were just discussing today about how difficult it is for me to open up...
I am a rather private person but I am sure whatever is meant to be told, will be told. Thankyou for your kind words of appreciation,they mean a lot to me.

LOVE and Blessings,
Crystal.

Dearest Crystal ...

you are truly a sensitive and a very enlightened soul ... your understanding for the Leo's privacy ... and you letting go of the seeming "mystery" ... Now that, dear lady, for a Moon Maiden is a tremendous thing to do ... but for YOU ... yes, for YOU ... nothing is impossible to DO when you set your heart so true ... there is nothing impossible for you ...

OUR GUARDIAN KNOWFLAKE ... LINDA WISELY KNEW ... THAT IS WHY THE GUARDIAN KNOWFLAKE HAD TO BE YOU !!!

Love, comfort and companionship ...

Dearest druid, our QUEEN of WORDS,
My heartfelt Thanks for your kind sensitive words of encouragement and understanding....They are rays of Sunshine to my SOUL.

Crystal-must rush-just need to ask-do you think Linda really did die or possibly not?

Sil-a book about Linda's life is Gooberz

Crystal? what do you think?

Dear sensitive and giving Crystal,
You mentioned that before Linda passed, you and she were discussing a childrens book on Astrology. Have you thought any more about this?????? What a GRAND idea!!!

I can just picture it!!! What a marvel it would be!!!!

Blessings, peace and joy to you, Crystal,
Annie

My dear Esoteric,
How can I answer your question...I feel Linda's energy around me daily..I see what she created and how she appealed to so many SOULS around the Universe...how she changed so many peoples lives...you just have to look at what has happened on this site to know that her presence is strongly felt here and all across the WORLD...Lindaland is fast approaching ONE MILLION hits per month with only a small team to cater to the workload.....Our darling Linda was an Avatar ..a mystical lady who at times found the physical form restrictive...perhaps we can achieve even more when we are not in the physical form...or the physical form we are known by..Linda was incredibly brave..few know how brave...she gave us insights and made us aware in areas that no-one had dared before..I believe that she is continuing to do this...we have not been deserted
This site is a statement to that and there is more to come!
LOVE and BLESSINGS
Crystal.

Dear sweet Anne,
That was my Grandmother's name and I have a special place in my heart for all "Annes"...Greg and I are snowed under at the moment..however we intend to write Linda's life story first perhaps including the unfinished manuscript???...I have started a children's book inspired by my last conversation with Linda...it is yet another promise I wish and hope to keep.
So be patient with us,we are truely doing the BEST that we can.. and Thankyou dear Anne for your constant support here in Lindaland.

LOVE and BLESSINGS
Crystal.
