Our total now stands at USD $2801!!!!! The goal is USD $5,000. So we’re over halfway there.
If you can help Stephen and Anthony, their Paypal account is stephenandanthony.
Email from Stephen, March 22:
Dearest Steve,
Thank you SO very, very much for your compassionate (and super generous) gift after our little safe haven of the past year was so devastatingly destroyed.
And for all you have been doing on Golden Age of Gaia!!!!!
Your generosity and thoughtfulness have touched our hearts on so many levels.
And your pure humanity in helping us is very much appreciated.
Considering your own reliance on donors to keep the blog running, your graciousness is a beacon of light and comfort at this challenging time.
God Bless,
Stephen and Anthony
This is giving me goosebumps.
I gave a donation two days ago and I don’t have a lot to spare. Within the day, Karen told me that one among our number had sent in a check that he wanted to go solely to me. When translated into CAD or even AUD, it came to just a few dollars short of what I donated.
Does that happen for only me? I don’t think so. I think it’s happening because the lovelight vibrations are rising and people are more sensitive to feelings like love and generosity.
I know I’m more sensitive. I keep asking Michael for more and more and more so I can give it away.
We are USD $2273 away from our goal. Stephen texted me earlier today saying, “such kind people out there! We are both very tired and your help is giving us some much needed joy right now.”
This is what we’ll be doing after the Reval. I just want to start early.
Not giving from my “hard-earned savings.” I’m giving from the Mother’s abundance through me, as she uses us to bless others.
The Golden Age of Gaia has committed to raising USD $5,000 to assist Stephen Cook and Anthony Morrison, former GAOG editors, to get back on their feet after their (rented) house was destroyed in Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
The cyclone left a hefty tree lodged in their home, making it unlivable. It just missed Stephen and a later cave-in just missed Anthony.
We invite you to join us in extending our love and good wishes to the two by going to Paypal and selecting “StephenandAnthony” as the receivers and donating whatever you can and wish.
We’re getting across the finish line together. Not by vigorous competition, but by loving cooperation – and generosity!
So far, right out of the starting gate, we’ve raised USD $500 so we’re one tenth there already. I’ll keep you posted on how we’re doing.
How to Donate
Let’s make it as simple as possible.
- Go into your Paypal
- In “Send to,” type in “StephenandAnthony.”
- It should specify Stephen Cook, etc. Choose “yes.”
- Fill in the amount and away it goes.
Being homeless must be the most miserable time of one’s life. I hope I never have to go through it as Suzi did last year and now Stephen and Anthony this year.
Thank you deeply for helping two people who’ve been more than instrumental in making this blog what it is.
Stephen (right) and Anthony come visit me in Vancouver in 2012 in my Downtown Eastside digs, where the 2012 Scenario was born. They were on their way back to Australia after the 2012 Scenario Conference in Sedona, Oct. 2012.
Stephen Cook and Anthony Morrison were stalwart members of a much-larger 2012 Scenario staff in 2012. (The 2012 Scenario was the precursor of the Golden Age of Gaia.) They both later suggested the name “Golden Age of Gaia.” Anthony designed the GAoG logo. Their stamp can be found all over the site.
Stephen produced two radio shows for inLight Radio: Lifting the Spirit and The Light Agenda.
My fondest memory of the two was at the 2012 Scenario Conference where Stephen kept us in stitches as he satirically traced his life from birth to now. I laugh even thinking of it.
My next fondest memory was their wedding, a few years back.

It came as a shock to us to hear that their house had been destroyed by Tropical Cyclone Alfred a few days ago. They had no insurance.
Stephen tells us what happened.
“We were hit with massive winds on Thursday, March 6, two days before the cyclone was expected…
“I had just walked out of our bedroom when there was an almighty bang. I was very fortunate, as it would have killed me if I was still in there.
“Since then, we’ve had no power [they do now], still don’t, and we had no water for 3 days.
“We couldn’t even leave the property until Wednesday and driving out was scary as there were power poles and trees leaning precariously over the roads for the first two kilometres.
“Anthony also had his own lucky escape when we were trying to rescue our things. He was in the bathroom when the ceiling came down, [with him] just managing to back out of the room.
“Anyway, the place is uninhabitable…so we now have to work out where we are going to live… it has all been terrifyingly frightening…and hard.
“As you [Suzi] and Merinda both know!!!!!” (1)
Stephen and Anthony are looking, at the moment, for their next digs. If anyone in the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales (2) has a house they can rent, please contact us here at GAoG and we will forward.
Wow, Suzi and Merinda last year. Stephen and Anthony this year. Who wants to be made homeless? No one, I’m sure.
Go, Reval!
Footnotes
(1) Suzi and Merinda Maresca lost the interior of their house to fire last year. It was insured.
(2) From Stephen: “This is the area we feel we want to be in long-term. The hinterland behind the area from Ballina to Byron Bay and up to just north of Mullumbimby – all in NSW.”
I hope this is for them “as one door closes, another door opens.”
