I could not believe my eyes.

This is the message that greeted me when I logged into my blog the other night.  My friends who read it were getting the same.

Your Internet Protocol address is listed on a blacklist of addresses involved in malicious or illegal activity. See the listing below for more details on specific blacklists and removal procedures.

I had just upgraded my Norton Internet Security.  Was it some kind of a horrible virus they had missed?

Ran a full scan which takes a million years.  Nothing came up.  Ran it again in case they missed something. 

Nothing again. It was midnight and I was bleary eyed. 

Sent a message to the server who hosts my blog.

No answer in the morning except they were looking into it.

To make matters worse, my techie buddy, Michelle, was on vacation.  She bails me out when I am in trouble.  If you have not seen her wonderful blog, let me give her a plug here.  http://www.consciousdestiny.com.

To solve this problem, I needed to find out where it was coming from.

I remembered a conversation I had with Sonia Choquette, the famous author, seminar leader and intuitive.  She had been on my TV show several times.

Sonia said we all had “helper angels.”

Now, I am not that big on angels.  Not against them, but if I have a need I generally go to the Top.

But, from time to time, if I lost my car keys or I had misplaced a book I needed or other many small requests, I remembered Sonia.  I could hardly believe it, but everytime I asked, I was led to where the missing items were.

I want to precede this story by telling you that technically, I am pretty much of a disaster. I am a writer not a techie.

The very idea I could investigate it was pretty far fetched.

I decided to ask the “helper angel.”  Did they know anything about technology?

Staring at my beloved ruined blog, my eyes suddenly went to the very bottom of the page.

There in tiny, tiny print was a statement that the blog was protected by a software program called “Bad Behavior.”

For some reason, I clicked on the name.  I don’t know why.

There it was. A statement from them. They had been transferring blogs and had made a disastrous mistake and included probably thousands of blogs to a warning format reserved for the worst of the spammers in the universe.

But, now at least I knew where it was coming from. I believe I was led to it.

Through the day, other servers and bloggers were informed as the news spread.

They had a “patch” for it.  (A WHAT?)

Fortunately, Michelle arrived home from vacation and when I sent her the information as to where this message and block was coming from, she fixed it in a second!

I thought it was my duty to inform bloggers that even we have a “Helper Angel!”  I bet you didn’t know.  And everyone else reading this!

Works for me!  Thanks to Sonia Choquette. And, Michelle, my private angel.

 Look into Sonia’s new book which is featured here.  She will give you support and more confidence in your intuition!
