			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I spend a great deal of time with Dr. Todd Michael, assisting him with his myriad projects, and appreciate all that he is doing in the world. He is a deep and old soul, and I am honored to have the opportunity to be of service to him and his mission.</p>
<p>Helping Dr. Todd spread the word about his books through this web site has been an ongoing labor of love. It&#8217;s wonderful to see that someone with Mike Dooley&#8217;s credentials has taken notice.</p>
<p>It appears that Mike Dooley of &#8220;<a href="http://www.tut.com" target="_blank">Notes from the Universe</a>&#8221; fame and co-star of The Secret has taken a liking to The Evolution Angel.</p>
<p>I have been a fan of Mike for years and years and explained to Dr. Todd just how amazing this acknowledgement is:<br />
<strong><br />
I just read a book that I am in no way connected with (nor do I know the author), which absolutely tripped me out and got me thinking some wild new thoughts!! It talks about the afterlife, reviews why we&#8217;re here and how we may choose to pass, dishes cool stuff on &#8220;God,&#8221; explains wealth and money, and has amazing insights on soul mates, being alone, other worlds, religion, even a particularly famous prophet (in an unconventional light), and more. I cannot recommend this short paperback highly enough!!!!! ~ Mike Dooley<br />
</strong></p>
<p>In my years of teaching the Law of Karma from the Tibetan Buddhist, as well as the more contemporary Law of Attraction perspective, I have not found a more useful phrase to explain how it all works than Mike Dooley&#8217;s, &#8220;Thoughts Become Things.&#8221;</p>
<p>
Mike, we are so glad that you found Dr. Todd&#8217;s book to be so valuable. We are grateful beyond words for your heartfelt endorsement.</p>

<p>When I was in high school I was in the marching band, where I played bass drum. I played bassoon in the concert band and electric bass in the jazz ensemble. I was very musical. My music classes, groups and performances made my teen years bearable. A big part of that effect was my friends, nearly all of whom were in the band.</p>
<p>One of my friends, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bigmouthgirl">Nedra Johnson</a>, played Sousaphone in marching band and tuba in the orchestra. She was happy and fun, and I loved being around her. Nedra has continued expressing herself through music.</p>
<p>We re-connected for a while after I returned from the navy, but drifted apart after I moved to Silicon Valley to pursue my dream job at Apple Computer. We probably wouldn&#8217;t have crossed each other&#8217;s paths again without the internet and social networking web sites.</p>
<p>First it was on Classmates.com and then on Facebook, we followed one another&#8217;s lives, from afar. We haven&#8217;t seen each other in person in nearly twenty years, and yet we are closer now than we were in high school.</p>
<p>Nedra has been interacting with me, and with the members of the Facebook Group, &#8220;My brother: Citizen Dave,&#8221; since April of 2009, when she began sharing with us her brother Dave&#8217;s life and experiences, as he received treatment for cancer.</p>
<p>We followed Dave through his treatment, through his going into and coming out of the hospital, through his frustrations with the health care system, through the joys of blue popsicles and ice chips, and through his last eight months of life.</p>
<p>We were told by Nedra today that Dave left his body on Monday. In many ways I was closer with Dave, although we did not know each other, than I have been with many people in my life, past or present.</p>
<p>Being brought in to Dave&#8217;s life through Nedra&#8217;s Facebook posts has been a gift. I have learned so much about myself, about Nedra and her family, and about life itself.</p>
<p>Nedra&#8217;s final post about Dave:</p>
<p>&#8220;In Loving memory of my brother, Dafydd Gordan Johnson ♥<br />
