Photo of Dad, Joan Ocean, Mom, and Me

Joan Ocean sent e-mailing this photo with other pictures to me last Sunday night. I had been waiting for them 2 weeks until they arrived in from Hawaii. Before they came in unexpectedly, I was going to ask Joan about a picture of us. This photo was taken at Agnes' Memorial Service reception at the church on January 20th as Mom, Dad, and I were about leaving there for going home that evening. Nice picture.

January 20, 2008: A Memorial Service for Agnes

This is Agnes and her daughter, Joan Ocean, at the nursing home. I probably took a picture of them at around the time of Halloween after Hurricane Wilma left Florida quickly in 2005.

Do u remember I was telling u about the mother, Agnes, of Joan Ocean in my blog a month ago? Yesterday I went to the memorial service at the church, St. Mary's in Daytona Beach for an old lady named Agnes whom my mother took care of. Agnes passed away on an evening of Dec 8, 2007. St. Mary is probably oldest church in Daytona Beach, over 130 years. It's a small and clean. That's not my church cuz I have a religious background. Agnes was a member there for years since she moved to Daytona Beach in 1999. Thank God, I got an interpreter named Ed at the church yesterday. Last Friday, I thought about having an interpreter at the memorial service for Agnes but it's too late. I forgot to ask Mother about it. But until that Sunday afternoon when Mom, Dad, and I arrived at the parking lot outside the church before the service, I overheard little bit Mom telling Dad or a friend that Ed coming over to interpret me. Ed? I was confused. She was supposed to inform me about him coming over there but she probably forgot. I tried to ask her about him clearly but Mom was busy chatting. LOL! Inside the church, it looks beautiful and candlelights are everywhere. Floor looks like an old wood but polished. As the memorial service begans, the family of Agnes came to sit in front following Agnes' priest and Chalice Bearer. About Chalice Bearer who is employed by her boss, her name is Nedra. I ran into her again. Nedra recognized me first before the service began. She's from a deaf club. I guessed it's her that I know from a deaf club. I didn't know she's working at the church as a Chalice Bearer. I was surprised to see her there. Anyways, Nedra and I talked little bit. When Nedra saw me again at the reception afterwards, she told me she have to work right away. It was nice to see her again. I noticed she was having a stress but I don't know. She sounds panting. Nedra is also a mother of 2 or 3 kids. However, I listened to a music few times. The priest, 2 daughters, 2 granddaugthers, and my mother shared a personal story about Agnes with us during the memorial service. I learned Agnes loves to travel, paint, and craft. Agnes had a swimming pool in the backyard of her house in New Jeresy where she came from and when her hubby, Cyril, was alive. After the service, we went to the reception but Ed doesn't want going there. He went home. I ate a salad with sliced pears, chicken with cransberry sauce, vegetables, and rice. I had a drink, a coffee and a glass of water with ices. I had enough cuz it looks too much but I ate all of vegetables. And at last, I ate a very delicious dessert, a chocolate with chips! Yummy! I can't wait to eat that cake! LOL! But I ate it halfway cuz I have had enough of it. LOL! I went to look up at a video, a family album, and scrapbook of letters from Agnes' relatives on the table. I saw a video of my mother in the laptop computer during working with Agnes at the nursing home. Mom looked so pretty in it. Then Mom informed me that Dad wanted to go home cuz he was not feeling well but I told her I don't have time to look up photos. Someone took a picture of Mom, Joan Ocean, with me with Joan's own digital camera after discovering my own digital camera went dead. I didn't have time to change batteries. I have them in my purse. I always carry them in case old batteries went dead in my digital camera. I thought it's batteries. I was wrong when I came home to check it out. Anyways, I went home with a small glass vase of beautiful tropical flowers. Smelling them is good. I had a wonderful time there.

Photo of Agnes and Bonnie Christmas 2006

This is Agnes who is sitting in the wheelchair next to my mother, Bonnie, who is standing. I was telling u about Agnes yesterday. This photo was taken during Christmas 2006. Christmas 2006 could be probably her last. Agnes did make it to Thanksgiving this year when her children showed up to gather for visiting her but didn't make it to this Christmas. Agnes is the mother of Joan Ocean. See a photo of Joan Ocean and me below. That regular photo was taken 2 years ago at the time Joan was visiting her mother at the nursing home right after Hurricane Wilma left Florida quickly.

Dolphin Connection: An Inspirational Story of Joan Ocean

See a picture above, this is Joan and me at the nursing home of her mother in late October 2005. At that time, Hurricane Wilma already left Florida few days before I saw Joan again. When I found out Hurricane Wilma was coming to Florida, I was concerned about her airline schedule if it was going to be delayed but Joan did make it. On the day we met again, the weather turned out gusty windy and cool. It changed rapidly.

I am typing to blog about spiritual and inspirational lady named Joan Ocean here. I first met Joan Ocean in May 2005 at that time she was visiting her mother at a nursing home in my hometown. She’s a friend of my mother and a daughter of a client my mother works with at a nursing home. I just finished reading Joan’s 1989 book called, “Dolphin Connection”, recently. She wrote it. Joan gave her book to my mother first and then later on my mother gave it to me. Very impressive at what she have done with dolphins and helped with her clients to connect dolphins. I am going to tell u about this special lady who communicates with dolphins and whales.

Joan began interesting to discuss stories of dolphin meeting with her new friends, Dr. John Lilly, a scientist, and his wife, Toni, when she attended a workshop in Montana in 1978. Every night she dreamed of dolphins and whales but as being a non-swimmer, she did not yet enter the water to meet them. She felt a contact from dolphins through meditation and expanded consciousness. Joan and her artist friend, Jean-Luc Bozzoli founded their organization, Dolphin Connection, to explore the advancement of human consciousness, biophysics and spirituality by producing visionary films, books, artforms and Ocean Seminars encouraging friendships between people and ocean-swimming dolphins and whales in 1984 after Joan left her few different jobs that made her feeling discouraged. At that time, she did learn how to swim. Joan did a success by making a contact with dolphin by feeling love and quiet. It made her healing and healthy like it removed her from the weight of all the things she owned, all the bills, all the hectic schedules, to swim free from block in the world. It works for her! Joan is still working at Dolphin Connection for 20 plus years and living in Hawaii. She’s enjoying her job and currently very busy teaching her clients at several seminars.

According from Joan’s book, telepathic communication was an exchange of information between cetaceans and humans. Cetaceans is the word that means animals belonging to the order Cetacea, including dolphins, porpoises, and whales. Communicating with Dolphins is like a magic. Dolphins solve humans’ problem. It’s true. Very helpful. Humans with emotional and health problems can be comfortable and relaxing when they encounter a dolphin in an ocean when they went on to sign up Joan’s seminar. Dolphins heal them immediately when divers went underwater and lifts their weight off from their body. Divers were feeling better and had an awesome experience afterwards.

I have heard that dolphins can help pregnant women to prepare for birth of their baby in underwater. It’s true. I saw a program about it on TV few years ago or so. Dolphins observe and sense a new life and volunteer their assistance. They act like a nursemaid to babies when they were born. Each mother and child rejoins the dolphins that assist in the delivery and a deep friendship develops. They pass a communication to babies. Children are joyfully greeted by the same dolphins year after year when children returned to underwater.

Do u know what sasquatch is? It means a large hairy humanoid creature, a Bigfoot. Joan have exerienced contacting a sasquatch on a neighboring island unexpectedly. It’s her true story in her website. Believe it or not. Check it out for yourself. Look for “Sasquatch” to click on the left column in Joan’s main page of her website.

One day in the future, I might go to Joan’s seminars in Hawaii. I don’t have an experience with dolphins yet but I will in the water. Or go to 2 different other places in Orlando and Key West where dolphins residence.


I am recommending this book, “Dolphin Connection”, to u if u are interesting to learn about her experiences with cetaceans. Joan has a selective link, “Gift Shop” in her website with other books, DVD, calendar, and CDs.


Joan has a website. Here is a link below:
