Black Jaguar Sky Shamanic Healing, 3 Powell Street, Chapel Hill, NC (2025)

10/30/2025

Tanot much has changed since my last post (which I am including below). We are still camping, going to the free meals at the IFC Kitchen as often as we can, and working toward getting into some sort of income-based housing. The rainy, colder weather has made life a little more difficult lately but we are still hanging in there.
Since late July Tiffany and I have been camping in a friend's side yard in Chapel Hill. We have been very grateful for the place to stay and have made our campsite as. comfortable as we can. We have learned, however, that Tiffany is going to have to have surgery to remove a cyst from her spine and this has considerably changed our plans
We were working toward being able to move to one of the many countries where our income would be adequate to live comfortably and we are not giving that up in the long term. We have decided, however, that we will need to get into a real home here and probably stay long enough for Tiffany to have (and recover from) the more pressing surgery to remove a spinal cyst and probably to fuse the vertebra at that point and then have the neck surgery that they are saying needs to be done before long. Recovering from surgery in a tent is not a viable option.
We are investigating income-adjusted housing options and working with folks at DSS, SORAD, and other local agencies and getting on wait lists for some of the places that offer income-adjusted rentals. In the meantime we are making our campsite as comfortable as possible and working through things in storage to identify things to sell or give away in order to reduce our storage space and, as a result, our storage expense (especially since the cost of our storage space will go up from $294/month to $426/month in November... just under 24% of my social security check).
We welcome any help locating affordable housing, navigating the various assistance bureaucracies, and getting from place to place. We currently do not have a vehicle and are depending on Uber/Lyft and rides from friends. If you can offer rides to and from. the free meals at the IFC Kitchen in Carrboro at 11:15am and 5:00pm or at any other time for trips to the grocery store, to the pharmacy, and to pursue housing possibilities we would be very grateful.
We are in a very tough position financially right now. We spent quite a bit on preparations to move to Europe (now on hold). When the weather was awful or when one or the other of us was going through a worse than usual period of debility and/or pain we spent a lot on hotels. And, since losing our vehicles, we have spent a great deal on Uber and Lyft rides. For these reasons among others we have been starting out each month behind and winding up the month even further behind.
I know times are hard for most folks these days and if you are not able to help financially I completely understand. We are always very grateful for prayers, positive energy, and helpful suggestions. However, if you are able to offer even a small amount of financial help, we are on PayPal,
on Venmo, &
$TiffanyDoudera on Cash App.
In any case, please hold us in the Light and send positive energy/good vibes.
With gratitude,
Blessings Bright and Dark,
William Young,
Tiffany Doudera
and Rocky the Traveling Cat

P.S. - Please feel free to pass this info on to others... we can use all the good energy, prayers, ideas, and other help that we can get. 🙏

Doubt gets a bad rap.
But what if you use doubt as a tool?
What if it’s the part of you that remembers your truth?
Judgment is taught.
Opinions are absorbed.
But you weren’t born with either.
The Fifth Agreement reminds you:
🌀 You don’t have to believe every thought.
👁 You don’t have to adopt every opinion.
❤️ You can choose awareness instead.
First Module gets released this Friday. Registration closes August 8.

It was good for a while. Photo is from the back deck of the house we were staying at in Durham.
I had hoped to be posting a more positive update but unfortunately things have gone south once again. For a few weeks Tiffany, Skyler (Tiffany's 20-year-old daughter), Rocky the Wonder Cat, and I had been staying with a former student of mine, an older lady living alone in Durham. She wanted company and her house needed a lot of attention. She had represented this as a mutually beneficial arrangement and I do believe it could have been good for all if us. We need a home and she wanted company and help with household tasks from meal prep to repairing a leaking sink drain... and it had seemed to be working out very well until around a week ago. She was used to living alone and having things a certain way and on a certain schedule. She turned out to be very inflexible and impatient and I guess was just unable to adapt to a household with other people with diverse schedules. Skyler is working 4pm until after 10pm 5 days a week and Tiffany and I both have to get going slowly in the morning, take meds and wait for them to start working, get coffee and start moving around, and finally get into our productive time around midday. We have a few good hours and then have to rest or do paperwork or other less demanding tasks in the later afternoon and evening. We usually cook and eat later in the evening.
The lady who owns the house, however, is a morning person. She works 10am to 4pm at a Starbucks a few days a week. She would prefer to have dinner mid afternoon and is used to retiring around 8pm or earlier. We were working on trying to adjust schedules in a way that could work for everyone but it was a slow process. We are still dealing with stuff in storage, frequent medical appointments, paperwork for Tiffant's disability, a variety of applications for assistance, a lawsuit for an accident where we were rear-ended and Tiffany was hurt, and, of course, all of our physical ailments, pain and limitations. I think we could have worked it out given time but the lady we were living with had very specific (and, in my opinion, unrealistic) ideas about how she thought things would work out and things were apparently not coming together fast enough to meet her expectations.
Last Saturday she told us it was not going to work for her and asked us to move out by the following Saturday. We had already pretty much reached the same conclusion (although we would have given it at least a couple more weeks to try and work things out). At any rate, we were not upset about her decision and we were in the process of packing to move (she had encouraged us to move our things out of storage and into her house so we had quite a lot of stuff there). Everything still seemed to be amicable and we were on track to move out Friday... a day earlier than she had asked... but apparently Patricia was not satisfied with what she apparently perceived to be our slow progress moving... or maybe she was paranoid about having us in the house while she went to work that day. Regardless, for whatever reason, on Monday she called Durham Public Safety and we woke up to police department CARE workers (not cops but professionals trained to respond to domestic calls) knocking on the bedroom door. We had to pack what we could into the van and leave. We got Skyler to a friend's place and came to Chapel Hill for Tiffany's neurology appointment that afternoon.
We had to borrow to get through the last days of the month so when I got my disability check on the 31st, after paying off the loans and paying the essential bills all of our money was immediately gone. We have had to give up making even minimum payments on credit card and loans taken out for previous car repairs. As things stand now, we have no funds for a hotel or even camping. We have slept in the car the last several nights and will be doing that again tonight. On Tuesday we got enough money from Tiffany's parents to buy food and put gas in the van for a few days and for that we are very grateful but that money is also gone now.
We are checking into options in the Triangle area but options are limited, wait lists are long, and the cost of living is very high. The places we had applied to live in Western NC are either badly damaged or no longer exist but we have some good possibilities in the Wilmington area that escaped the flooding and we are hopeful that something will work out there before too long. Please keep us in prayers and send positive energy. I know times are tough for so many of you but, if you can, we would be very grateful if you are able to send even a little money for gas and food. Also, if you are able, we would greatly appreciate help moving the rest of our things out of the house in Durham or the offer of a chance to stop by and get a shower or just sit and share a cup of tea and conversation. Also our van is having major fuel injector issues and is getting terrible gas mileage (and the fumes are awful) so if you were able to donate automotive work or would trade energy work for car repair please message me.
I do not have a place to do Reiki and Shamanic Healing work but will be happy to come to you if you are in the Triangle or in Wilmington and wherever you are I can do distance work.
if you are able to offer financial help I am BlackJaguarSky on Venmo, and Cash App. My old PayPal account had some issues but you can send to my new account at: https://www.paypal.me/OtorongoNoir
In any case, please hold us in the Light and send positive energy/good vibes.

We are hanging in there although things have been a little rough the last few days. Apparently being stored in the turtle top on the van during very hot weather destroyed the waterproofing on the rain fly of my tent and we woke up Thursday night to rain coming in like there was nothing above us and the tent totally flooded. We spent Thursday night in the car and Friday and Saturday dealing with the mess. By Friday night, we had dried out the tent and gotten a huge sheet of plastic to cover the tent. There was no rain Friday and Saturday and we got the wet sleeping bag, linens, clothes, etc washed and dried just in time to break camp in the rain today and go to Tiffany's neurology appointment in Chapel Hill this afternoon.
Tiffany's appointment last Monday was a major disappointment because someone messed upon the order for the nerve conduction test and nerve biopsy that we have been waiting months to get done at Duke Neurology. Duke blames Tiffany's P*P at UNC Family Medicine who was supposed to order the test and UNC blames Duke for loosing the order but regardless of blame the bottom line is Tiffany did not get the tests done. Fortunately we were able to get an appointment Tuesday with her Duke neurologist to get the proper order for the tests. Unfortunately it could be months before the tests can be rescheduled. We are hoping the appointment today is more productive.
As I have mentioned in previous posts, the cost for camping ($27 per night) plus paying regular expenses for gas, medicine, insurance, storage, credit card payments, car repair loan payments, phone bill, etc.. pretty much wipes out my social security check almost as soon as it comes in. We have managed to sell some of our things (and currently have an E-Bike for sale... see my page if interested). Selling some stuff and generous gifts from a few friends have kept us afloat so far but we are totally broke again only about half upway through the month.
We are on waitlists for section 8 vouchers in numerous places and for various income adjusted housing but it is likely to be a couple of months or possibly more before we can get into anything. In the meantime we take it a day at a time and do the best we can with what we have.
We continue to be grateful for Spirit's many blessings and for the love and support of friends (and some strangers). We know that all of this is just part of the adventure and will ultimately serve the Highest Good. I am not able to schedule energy work in person right now but am still able to do distance work. If any of you would like to be added to my prayer and/or distance Reiki list please message me. We are always grateful for prayers, positive energy and good vibes and, of course, we would be very grateful for any financial support, offers of a place to stay however briefly, and any helpful suggestions.

Things have not gone as planned here. Due to health issues we have not been able to leave our hotel here in Southern Pines to go to stay a few days before my surgery with Tiffany’s daughter in South Carolina. We will have to remain in this area until my pre-surgery appointment on the 21st and I will not be able to travel for a few days following my surgery on the 22nd. The expense of additional days at the hotel here had completely depleted our funds so, as things stand now, we will have to check out of our hotel tomorrow. I am still trying to sell some things and may be able to raise a little money that way but that may take a while.
I am still trying to find a place to stay between now and two or three days after my surgery on the 22nd but have not come up with anything so far. If you have any options to suggest please let me know. If you can offer financial assistance, I am BlackJaguarSky on PayPal, Cash App, and Venmo.
As always, prayers, positive energy, and helpful suggestions are always very welcomed and whatever you can do will be received with deepest gratitude. Th all those who have helped us in the past I want to again express my heartfelt thanks. 🙏🏼
If you can share this with others who might be able to help I would very much appreciate that as well. If you do not want to share this on your page, it can be shared with individuals who might be able to offer help.
