JEANNIE CELESTIAL

 A September/October Postcard from Jeannie Celestial:

I was delighted to receive Jeannie's postcard from Oahu where she went to be become a Certified Hilot Binabaylan. She says it was an amazing experience and hopes that the "energy flowed through the card" to me. And of course I felt the energy, created by these lovely people featured in their class photos below:

The above photo of lovely Jeannie, by the way, was edited by her husband and voice actor Art Bautista... who has a literary link by being narrator for some of Penguin's books! You can see more about Art Bautista's work at the books he's narrated: Audiobooks narrated by Art Bautista.

And you can meet Jeannie this Sunday, October 26, 2025 for
