 Terri Smallwood is the

study of astrology as a pre-teen, about the same time she began her love
affair with creative writing. Two years of living on Canada’s west coast
(on her Uranus line, according to an astro-cartography map) opened many doors
towards spiritual growth, including the beginning of her involvement with
the various Linda Goodman discussion forums. Currently employed as an
administrative assistant, Terri is also working on a novel and happily shares
her journey with her husband, Matthew, and their 4-year-old son.
 Maria Barron co-edits the newsletter
with Gregory and Terri. She has a degree in journalism and was a newspaper
reporter and editor for 15 years before becoming a stay-at-home mom. She
has been fascinated since childhood with people’s heartfelt beliefs
and how they move people to interact and mold the world we live in. She moved
to Cripple Creek, Colorado, for a year of studies with an Indian medicine
man in 1995, and since then has had the blessing of becoming acquainted with
some of Linda Goodman’s friends in the area. She is married to a long-time
resident of the district and is mother to a teenager and a pre-schooler.
 Carrie Chesney is a student
of psychology who is working on graduating and then plans to earn a
master’s degree in psychology. She was born, one late August, to a wonderful
family of four. She has been interested in the paranormal since she was 12,
and in astrology, Linda Goodman, and all matters spiritual since she was
15. As a result, she has been studying bits and pieces of astrology, philosophy,
psychology, the tarot, ghosts, angels, spirit guides, and other miscellaneous
metaphysical subjects for several years, and she continues to see the connections
in everything today. Aside from studying astrology and just studying in general,
she enjoys a working on being a leader in her residence hall association,
going to amusement parks, hanging out with friends, and overall just trying
to enjoy life.
