ATTENTION VENTURA & VENTURA COUNTY CALIFORNIANS!

On June 8th, 2024, our son, Aaron Daniel Hollandbeck, age 28, went missing from his apartment in Ventura, California. Aaron moved to California several years ago; we live in New Hampshire. Aaron suffers from unmedicated Schizophirenia and currently is in a state of delusions, and is having aural and visual hallucinations. In his current mental state, he doesn’t trust anyone. He left his apartment, leaving behind his iPhone (so, no GPS tracking), and his wallet (so no ID, and no money). We just found out about this late this afternoon and my husband, Aaron’s Dad and I are devastated. For those who don’t know, Ventura California is on the Ocean, and this is a dangerous place for a delusional Schizophrenic to be, considering su***de is the #1 cause of death for Schizophrenics.

I am praying he can be found, hanging out with the “homeless” Schizophrenics who live under bridges, embankments, up in the hills, etc.. surrounding Ventura and Ventura County. But, it’s been 8 days! At this point, Aaron could be anywhere, if he should have trusted anyone enough to hitch a ride. We are all deep in prayer, and praying for a miracle. Below is the most recent photo of Aaron, which was provided by his biological mother who also lives in California.

All I ask you, is if you live in or around Ventura, California, know anyone who does, or if you’d just like to help us spread the word far and wide in hopes we’re blessed enough to recover him alive, and get him hospitalized and into the treatment he needs, it would mean the world to us!

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Living on the opposite coast of the United States, does not help us do much for him, or at least as much as we would like to be doing, especially within only a few hours of us hearing he went missing 8 days ago!

A very strong magnetic storm is hitting now, will it last till dark this time around? and will we have a break in the clouds?

Here is one from that very unexpected strong northern lights from November 6th 2023 that I was lucky to shoot with Ajit.

This is not generative AI - this really happened - but - people often ask me, "Can we see the Northern Lights like that?" Well, the answer is both yes and no. Yes, the camera can capture the Northern Lights exactly like that. They're there, and cameras are way more sensitive than our eyes, so they pick up all those stunning lights and colors. But if you're expecting to see them that vividly with your own eyes, then no, it's not quite the same. The Northern Lights appear much fainter to the naked eye. You might see something, but it's usually just enough to make you grab your phone and see it better on the screen.

So is this real, or not?

Absolutely, using a camera to capture nature is definitely real. It's just like watching a bird through binoculars. When you look through binoculars, you can see details of the bird much more clearly than with your naked eye. Similarly, a camera can capture intricate details of the scenery, like the vibrant colors of a sunset or the delicate petals of a flower, making the experience feel even more alive and vivid. So, yes, what you see in those photos is absolutely real—it's just a way of bringing the beauty of nature closer to us.

Note: I did is to delete a building on the left.

If milk gets bad, it becomes yogurt. Yogurt is more valuable than milk. If it gets even worse, it turns to cheese. Cheese is more valuable than both yoghurt and milk. And if grape juice turns sour, it transforms into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice. You are not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are the experiences that make you more valuable as a person. Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent Penicillin. Don’t let your mistakes get you down. It is not practice that makes perfect. It is mistakes we learn from that makes perfect!

Lying is very hard work. If one is truthful, and doesn’t lie, life becomes much easier because you’re not having to keep your lies (stories) straight.

I’m curious to know your feelings about life coaching v. therapy; and if you feel that even in therapy, you are being helped by being coached?

Just a couple of cuties, a little something funny—Therapy humor; and something to think about.
