Where Yellow Flowers Bloom, Kim’s first book, chronicles events leading up to the devastating mudslides of January 2018 in Montecito, CA, that took the lives of her husband, Dave, their son Jack, and their dog Chester. Miraculously, Kim and her daughter Lauren survived the catastrophe.
The book details Kim’s journey of survival—through mourning her husband’s death while recreating life for herself and her daughter- to following her intuition and receiving extraordinary support from her community to find Jack’s remains. It is full of mysterious and awe-inspiring messages, signs, and synchronicities, proving reality is greater and kinder than we can conceive.
Kim desires her story to show others, especially those affected by trauma and grief, the power of determination, resilience, and the importance of looking for positivity when it seems impossible to find at times. She wants to offer hope and inspire others that despite the magnitude of loss and grief, like her, Kim ended up seeing beauty where there should be none. In the end, the Love found a way.

We will have a conversation about real-life stories that will show you how to improve your life and experience the Happiness you have been looking for from Chicken Soup’s latest release, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Your 10 Keys to Happiness!
According to Amy, “Happiness is not an elusive lottery ticket meant for only a lucky few. It is a jackpot within everyone’s grasp, and winning it is no mystery. I’ve read tens of thousands of real-life, enlightening stories from our contributors, and I’ve developed an understanding of what makes people tick and what makes them happy. Now I’ve selected 101 stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul’s library that illustrate the 10 keys to Happiness that work best for our writers. I’ve tried these out in my own life, and I can report that I am happier, more grateful, more grounded, and more relaxed as a result.”
As Amy continues, “The wonderful thing is that you already have all the necessary tools to find your Happiness—you just need to learn how to use them. You don’t have to implement all ten keys to Happiness, by the way. Even one will make a huge difference in your life! The most essential key to Happiness is gratitude. You can’t be truly happy without incorporating gratitude into your life. The next most important key to Happiness is forgiveness. It is one of the best tools we have at our disposal to create a better life for ourselves. The emotional weight that we carry when we hold onto resentments is like wearing a heavy cloak. We need to shrug it off our shoulders and let it fall to the ground, leaving the bad parts of our pasts in the past where they belong!”

We will have a conversation about why and how kindness matters! The world has and is currently going through a lot - the pandemic, divisiveness in our society, and conflicts around the world. We all need a renewed focus on what is good about humanity to remind ourselves right now!
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Kindness Matters, with 101 feel-good stories that restore our faith in people, delivers plenty of good news and good behavior, with tales of a wide variety of good deeds, acts of compassion, heroic people, and paying it forward.
The message is that it’s easy to create miracles for yourself and others. Every day, from good deeds to helping hands and wise words to the extraordinary! If people think outside the box and look around, they’ll see the need.
According to Amy, “Scientific studies have shown that 'doing good' is beneficial for the recipient of the good deed and for the person doing it, making them happier and healthier. Performing random acts of kindness is a proven way to make yourself feel good. We are all capable of both needing help and providing help. And it is this give and take, the ability to be a provider and a recipient depending on our circumstances, that makes us part of a united community of people who really do care about one another. No matter what divides us, our basic humanity reunites us.”

Do you know what your SPIRITUAL DNA is? Aren't you curious about how your past influences your present and perhaps will govern your future?
After examining the lives of thousands of individuals across five thousand years, Carmel Niland saw patterns in behavior, character traits, and life purpose that allowed her to connect each individual to specific Ascended Masters. Guided by renowned mystics, she realized that, just as we carry physical DNA that shapes us across generations, we also carry an energetic code or spiritual DNA that links us back to the very source of our origins -- a divine ancestry linking us directly back to God.
Carmel Niland is the former CEO and leader of various government agencies on gender, racial equality, human rights, and child protection in New South Wales, Australia. She became well-known for fighting against sexual harassment and discrimination and advocating for women's and Aboriginal rights.
Raised in a Catholic family, Carmel has always felt a deep connection to spirit. Her lifelong quest for spiritual meaning led her to become the messenger, the one chosen to reveal the secrets behind our line to God. Carmel is the author of A Darker Magic This Way Comes, her first novel in the Merlin Secret's series.
In her latest book, Our Spiritual DNA - Twelve Ascended Masters and The Evidence for Our Divine Ancestry, Carmel offers charts to help us trace our own spiritual DNA through the reincarnations of the Ascended Masters and thus discover our direct connection to the Divine.
Join Carmel Niland and me on Tuesday, August 31, 10 - 11 A.M. CT U.S. We will be having a conversation about her remarkable life's journey and learn how to understand our spiritual and genetic connection to God and that we are all one large family divinely connected across gender, race, and time.
When Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul was published in 1997, and Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul was published in 2000, both books quickly became the go-to source of comfort and advice for a whole generation of teenagers and preteens, selling more than ten million of copies around the world.
Both books have continued to support teenagers and preteens as they go through adolescence and remain one of the iconic publisher’s most popular classic titles. Today’s parents were the preteens and teenagers who were reading the books two decades ago. They are now buying these new anniversaries editions for their children.
The anniversary editions have been revised and updated, with two dozen brand-new stories added to the existing, classic stories from the first edition. The new stories cover various topics, including being a preteen during the pandemic, social media and technology, and many other modern-day issues.
According to Amy Newmark, publisher and editor-in-chief of Chicken Soup for the Soul, “Stories that were out of date were removed, so that preteens and teenagers will not feel like they’re reading their parents’ Chicken Soup for the Soul instead of their own.
Being a kid can be tough, and what we hear the most from our young readers is that they don’t feel alone after reading the stories in our books. They realize that other kids their age are sharing the same experiences and emotions. There’s nothing like learning from a peer, someone who’s ‘been there, done that.’ Kids learn best from the experiences of other kids.”
Join Amy Newmark and me on Tuesday, Aug 17, 10-11 A.M. CT U.S. We will have a conversation about the history and impact of Chicken Soups PreTeens and Teenage Souls have had and will continue to have for the generations.

Caring for elderly family members is one of the most demanding jobs and one of the most rewarding. But family caregivers are operating in confusing new territory when they take on eldercare for the first time, especially if Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia are involved. Caregivers also face health risks as they sacrifice time for exercise and self-care, and they often feel overworked, under-appreciated, and even depressed. This holds true whether their loved ones are cared for at home or in outside facilities.
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Navigating Eldercare & Dementia is a book that acts as a portable support group for family caregivers. The book’s 101 Stories to Support Family Caregivers highlights revealing personal stories in which people who have “been there, done that” share their best advice for family caregivers.
Readers will feel less alone and more empowered after reading the great advice shared by other families. They’ll learn how to join their loved ones with dementia in their new reality, instead of trying to correct them, and how to be patient and compassionate when interacting with someone who isn’t the same dad or mom or spouse they used to be. They’ll come away from these stories better in understanding Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, how they first appear, how they progress, and what the later stages are like.

On June 23, 1936, Edgar Cayce, the most documented and renowned psychic of the twentieth century and the father of holistic medicine, gave a Life Reading for two-day-old Thomas Jefferson (T.J.) Davis, the nephew of his secretary, Gladys Davis. In this reading, Cayce identified one of the child's past lives as that of Thomas Jefferson, adding this stunning prediction—that he "may become more important in the affairs of the WORLD than this entity in its previous experience has been to America—Thomas Jefferson."
Edgar Cayce and the Unfulfilled Destiny of Thomas Jefferson Reborn examines all the reasons why that prediction never happened. It is an endearing look at the relationship between Cayce and young T.J., who was tutored by Cayce for nearly the first nine years of the boy's life in preparation for the great work ahead of him. But it also explores how decisions made by T.J.'s absentee parents put their son's soul on a different path.

Often we find it overwhelming to attain inner peace when the weight of the world's challenges render us feeling powerless. What if our spirit teachers, or angels, could contact us directly to help us find our way—would you listen? As the saying goes, when the student is ready, a teacher will appear.
For the late Wilma Jean Jones, her teachers certainly did appear. An Angel Told Me So reveals the messages and guidance she received directly from the spiritual realm for more than two decades. Her son, Michael McAdams, worked closely with his mother as these messages and teachings were dictated to her and have lovingly preserved them for spiritual seekers who are looking for guidance, direction, and support.
Wilma was a devout Christian and a daily reader of her Bible. She was spoken to and advised throughout her life regarding spiritual matters from spirit teachers/angels. Michael has felt a sense of destiny and purpose for his entire life. A lifelong sincere seeker of truth, he has endeavored to reach out with an open mind to all sources available. Although he grew up in the Pentecostal church, he has always felt more spiritual than religious.
An Angel Told Me So is the first book in a series of three volumes of messages and teachings dictated through Wilma Jean that offers proof of a spiritual realm's existence. In sharing these messages, Wilma and Michael hope readers will find divine wisdom and comfort in these teachings and explore a spiritual connection with their spiritual teachers. By connecting with our spirit teachers/angels, we can overcome challenges and realize we are not alone.

Anne H. Oman began her career as a Foreign Service Officer for the now-defunct US Information Agency, which was charged with "winning the people's hearts and minds." She served in Cambodia and Indonesia and was expelled from both countries, for political, not personal, reasons.
Anne has worked principally as a journalist. Her articles have appeared in the Washington Post, The Washington Star, The Baltimore Sun, The Washington Times, Washington Woman, Family Circle, Sailing, National Geographic World, and Senior Scholastic. She is currently a Reporter At Large for the Fernandina Observer in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
Anne has published four non-fiction books. Mango Rains is her first novella. The story takes us back to 1963, to a sleepy Southeast Asian backwater, in Bienvenue á Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, a former French colony ruled by a famously mercurial Prince. Though a war rages next door in VietNam, life in the Cambodian capital seems peaceful, and no one has heard of Pol Pot or envisions the horrors to come with the Khmer Rouge.
As the gentle mango rains give way to the violence of the monsoon, world events – the self-immolation of the Buddhist monks in Saigon, the coup in VietNam, and the assassination of President Kennedy – precipitate a crisis that scatters the characters in the story to the far corners of the globe: VietNam, Indonesia, India, and Africa. The events are seen through the eyes of Julia Galbraith, a newly arrived American Foreign Service Officer. Her journal chronicles the insular expatriate community's doings, love affairs and heartbreaks, and the changing political climate.
Join Anne Oman and me on Tuesday, October 6, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be having a conversation about her remarkable life's journey and her novella, Mango Rains.

Have you ever woken up knowing that you’ve just had an extraordinary dream, and then, bam, it’s gone? You’ll want to keep a pen and paper by your bed for the next time, especially after reading Chicken Soup for the Soul: Listen to Your Dreams. The 101 Tales of Inner Guidance, Divine Intervention, and Miraculous Insight, will teach you how to use your dreams as a kind of GPS for navigating your life.
“It’s remarkable how useful our dreams can be in helping us find new directions, improve our relationships, and become genuinely happier,” says Amy Newmark, author, editor-in-chief, and publisher of Chicken Soup for the Soul. “I’m a practical, fact-oriented person, so I fall into the camp that believes our dreams are our subconscious products saying, ‘Hey you! Here’s what I’ve been trying to tell you all day while you’ve been looking at your phone and doing projects and talking to people!”
Amy says, “In many of the stories in the book, however, it’s hard to imagine someone’s subconscious was the source of their inspiration, as the advice they’ve received seems to come out of the left field.” Included are 12 stories about the high-impact dreams that occurred during the COVID-19 shutdown, and the life-changing consequences of those dreams.
Join Amy Newmark and me on Tuesday, August 11, 10-11 A.M. CT U.S. Amy, and I will have a conversation about astonishing dreams and premonitions. They are compelling examples of why we should make a deliberate effort to recall our dreams and follow the guidance they offer.

Stories about domestic disasters, the most embarrassing moments people have ever had, social gaffes, misunderstandings based on language, the things kids say at church… a huge variety of stories and situations that will make you laugh out loud. It’s good (mostly) clean fun, and it will bring back your own memories of your favorite stories, those that became legendary among family and friends.
Join Amy Newmark and me on Tuesday, April 14, 10-11 A.M. CT U.S. Amy and I will have a conversation about Laughter is the Best Medicine, Chicken Soup’s first-ever collection of humorous stories.

Debbie A. Anderson, an internationally known clairvoyant, born in England, is one of the leading experts in North America on the use of oracle cards. Her four acclaimed gorgeously illustrated Vibrational Energy Decks for adults and children have sold more than 20,000 decks.
Debbie experienced a spirit-communicating phenomenon from early childhood, saw people who had passed over, knew information about people that she could not have known otherwise, and could see future occurrences. She started using the Tarot to guide friends, and she realized that it was not just the cards providing guidance, she was using her intuitive skills to augment what was on the card.
At the Arthur Findley College in Stansted, Essex UK (which she says was like attending Hogwarts), during her 20s, Debbie began to explore the mediumship side. Spirit eventually directed her to apply those skills to creating her decks to help people clear and enhance their vibrational energy.
In the process, Debbie became aware of how to guide individuals to maximizing their intuitive skills through the use of oracle cards. She has developed specific steps that enable anyone to get the most success out of any oracle deck and to heighten their intuitive skills.

The Untold Story of Sita: An Empowering Tale for our Time, by Dena Merriam, takes a new look at the classic Ramayana by tearing away the patriarchal lens through which the story is traditionally viewed. In the traditional account, Sita is a secondary figure, and her true nature is hard to access. In this story, told by the people of Sita’s household, the role of the sacred feminine is predominant.
Sita is a beloved figure throughout Southeast Asia. Her life and message extends beyond and particularly relevant for the modern age when a new understanding of feminine wisdom and leadership is needed, and when we are facing an unprecedented ecological crisis. Mata Sita and Sri Ram were instrumental in setting the foundation for a new civilization during a time of transition from one era, or yuga, to another. We stand at a similar time in history, where we are experiencing the passing of one era and intuitively feel the birthing of another, as yet unknown. One thing seems inevitable, however, that the new society we are striving for must be ecologically-based. There is an excellent value in looking to lessons of the past to move forward.
Dena Merriam is the Founder and Convener of the Global Peace Initiative of Women, bringing spiritual resources to address critical global challenges, such as conflict, social justice, and ecological scarring of the earth. She received her Master’s Degree from Columbia University in sacred literature. Dena has served on the boards of the Harvard Center for the Study of World Religions.

The decade of the 2010s shelled hospitals and first responders with an explosion of opioid-related illness, injury, and death. Preventable drug overdoses tallied 54,793 lives lost in 2016 – an increase of 391 percent since 1999. Accidental drug overdose deaths increased 327 percent over the same period.
The majority of OD deaths (38,000) involve opioids. The drug category most frequently involved in opioid overdoses and growing at the fastest pace includes fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, and . The fentanyl category of opioids accounted for nearly half of opioid-related deaths. The dirty cat in the litter, heroin, accounted for the second highest number of deaths, claiming 14,606 lives.
Legislative attempts to curb the use of potentially lethal drugs resemble shooting an arrow and then drawing a target around where it hit. Locking up dealers and traffickers, creating prescription databases and prescribing limits, and promoting Narcan availability all deal with control of the supply and its aftermath. The demand is unchanged. Within a cultural adoration of the buzz, our current crisis can only be curbed by control of the demand. If a drug user wants a drug, they will get that drug. It's the American freedom thing.

We live in the most connected time the world has ever know, but so many of us feel disconnected. We are a divided nation and world. We fight each other from our silo’s taking sides one against the other over skin color, sex equality, environment, borders, religion, and politics. We shout over each other, rather than listening to what each other is trying to say.
The Mosaic Process disrupts those silos by helping us see the walls that protect us, separate us from each other. The Process encourages us to connect not only with like minds but with unlike minds and invites us to see what we are looking at, differently.

Author, entrepreneur, humorist, dating expert, and blogger, Gail Forrest, proves that women and men can laugh out loud about menopause, aging, dating, and more. Her spot-on observations make men and women of all ages nod their heads, laugh out loud, and sometimes blush about the advancing years.

According to her, “Whoever put the “pause” in menopause was mistaken. There’s no pause; it’s just a new path to navigate full speed ahead.”
In the book's 91 short stories, Gail takes on the topics that affect women throughout this part of their lives. There’s dating in mid-life and beyond; the treacherous and often self-illuminating relationships with aging parents; shopping or wanting to shop and not having enough money for great new clothes and shoes as well as buying beauty products that promise youth and deliver nothing but a big price tag.

When Ronald Reagan was elected President, he stood in front of Blair House and named Jim Brady as his Press Secretary with Karna as Jim’s Deputy. She had almost daily meetings with the President and traveled on Air Force One. She was also sent to South America and the Far East to give speeches to government, business and student groups on the President’s economic priorities.
Next, Karna was named Senior Director and spokesman for the National Security Council. She attended arms control talks with the Soviets and traveled with the team that briefed the leaders of Great Britain, France and Italy as well as Pope John Paul II. Those were “evil empire” days, so it was a unique experience to chat with the Soviet Union’s General Secretary Gorbachev at that first Summit meeting in Geneva.
When Karna left The White House to become Senior Vice President of a Public Affairs firm, she was the highest ranking woman on The White House staff.
Today, Karna is an award-winning author of 5 international thrillers. TRUST BUT VERIFY, is her latest White House National Security Series novel.

As a passionate modern-day renaissance woman, Polo Tate is an actor, an artist, and the author of Deep Dark Blue. Her Great Great Grandfather was Ransom Eli Olds (R.E. Olds), a pioneer and prolific inventor most notably responsible for inventing the first American internal combustion automobile—the Oldsmobile.
Polo is on a mission for all to see, feel and understand their own self-worth, empowerment, and value. She loves people, lives every moment to the fullest, lets no one take her joy, and avidly practices the belief that you can do anything upon which you set your mind, heart, and spirit.
When she was eleven years old, Polo had a dream: she wanted to be in the Air Force. She stamped this dream into an aluminum alloy pair of dog tags, and shoved them in her sock, and proceeded to wear her dream every moment of every day—through self-imposed double-day practices, through four years of varsity volleyball, basketball and soccer games, through National Honor Society, through every class and test to keep her 4.0 GPA, through SATs, ACTs, military vetting, even through the senatorial nominations she earned. She wore this dream when she accepted the appointment and signed her NCAA letter of intent to attend and play volleyball for the United States Air Force Academy. Then, her dream was warped, whipped, and ripped out from under her. In her terror, she was faced with one question—Do I stay, or do I live?

Humanity has prayed for the end of suffering for generations, yet it still exists today. There must be something that is not quite right. With all the saviors of all the world’s religions—having each come to earth and having each fulfilled their individual calling—why is it that there is still suffering in the world?
Is it that the saviors didn’t teach us all the right messages? Is it that we, the followers, didn’t actually learn the lessons? What is it going to take to actually end the suffering and bring us our salvation? If the saviors are here to save us, what then are the missing elements to actually being saved?

Romantic love presents some of life's most challenging questions. Can we choose who to love? Is romantic love rational? Can we love more than one person at a time? And can we make ourselves fall out of love?
Dr. Berit Brogaard is a Professor of Philosophy with joint appointments in the Departments of Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Miami as well as the Network for Sensory Research at the University of Toronto. Her educational background includes a medical degree in neuroscience and a doctorate in philosophy. Her areas of research include perception, synesthesia, blindsight, consciousness, neuro-psychiatry and emotions.
Her latest book, On Romantic Love: Simple Truths About A Complex Emotion, attempts to get to the bottom of love's many contradictions. The book, informed by both historical and cutting-edge philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, combines a new theory of romantic love with entertaining anecdotes from real life and accessible explanations of the neuroscience underlying our wildest passions.
Against the grain, Dr. Brogaard argues that love is an emotion; that it can be, at turns, both rational and irrational; and that it can be manifested in degrees. We can love one person more than another and we can love a person a little or a lot or not at all. And love isn't even always something we consciously feel. However, love -- like other emotions, both conscious and not -- is subject to rational control, and falling in or out of it can be a deliberate choice.
Join Dr. Berit Brogaard and me on Tuesday, March 20, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be having a conversation about her life’s journey and her innovative look at a universal topic behind heartbreak, obsession, jealousy, attachment, and more.
Every day, many children watch as a parent goes off to a military assignment, often in dangerous situations. Most children will later welcome home their parents who served without incident. Others, however, will greet a parent who suffered a head injury, which changes all their lives.
A previously kind and loving parent may become irritable, short-fused and be intolerant of frustration after a brain injury. To a child, this change can be scary and overwhelming. Children may not understand why Mom or Dad is so different and may blame themselves for their parent’s moodiness.
Dr. Jerid Fisher is a forensic neuropsychologist and the Chairman of the National Academy of Neuropsychology Foundation. He is currently spearheading a project to educate families about traumatic brain injuries.
My Dad Got Hurt. What Can I Do? is a book that targets children between the ages of 8-12 who, without any preparation, have been confronted by their mother or father coming home from their military service with a brain injury. Because brain damage is so often invisible, these children are confronted with an especially difficult reality. Although their parent is home from combat and may look like he or she did before deployment, mom or dad does not act or behave the same way they did prior to deployment.
With Brunella I. Costagliola and illustrations by Valerio Mazzoli, this book offers young readers practical coping tools to empower them to feel confident about themselves and become a more active participant in his or her injured parent’s life.
Join Dr. Jerid Fisher and me on Tuesday, March 13, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be having a conversation about his passion in helping Military Children cope with a Brain-Injured Parent.

Harvey Weinstein, Brett Ratner, Louis CK and James Toback did not respect it. And the women who are now coming forward about their sexual abuse at the hands of these men are only now truly claiming it. "It" is their SEXUAL SOVEREIGNTY—the right to control their own sexual and physical fate—not being subject to the demands, the whims, the control or the perversion of others.
"Do you realize that in no country in the world, nor even the United Nations Human Rights Charter, is there any stipulation that women have the rights to their own bodies," says Dr. Saida Désilets, PhD.
A thought-leader and speaker on the growing edge of researching ways women can use their minds, bodies, and spirits to create richer lives through their sensual selves, Dr. Saida serves as a guide to women who believe in transformation as a lifelong path of learning, discovery and walk to freedom.

Brazilian-born Kaliyani (also known as Jane Villar-Gehr) is a spiritually inspired visionary, producer, artist and founder of Stargate Alliance Films & Media whose mission is to inspire humanity through offering alternative visions, information and empowering tools for self, as well as for global soul transformation.
She only recently discovered her singing voice. A remarkable distinction of Kaliyani's music career is that she is more connected to the content and soul of what is being expressed, rather than taking pleasure from the act of singing alone. Her musical style elegantly blends exotic world music with complex transcendent qualities. Emotive and alluring, her vocals summon Operatic and Gregorian styles, while her music uniquely delves into dramatic, contemporary orchestration profoundly rich in structure.
The released of her debut single and music video "Nammu's Invocation" in 2014, brings forth the energetic landscape of wordless intonations to HEIGHTENED VIBRATION. Seamlessly weaving visions of sensuality into a primordial context, Kaliyani's powerful second release, Tears for Inanna, is a beautiful manifestation of a generally misunderstood archetypal myth. Inanna challenges us to review our belief systems, particularly with respect to our culture's view on sexuality and the role of the sacred feminine throughout history.
Join Kaliyani, a new age and world music recording artist, and me on Tuesday, February 13, 10-11 A.M. CT US for a Valentine's Day Special. We will be having a conversation about her life’s journey, love, and passion to enrich humanity by uplifting consciousness on the planet with her angelic voice and music.
In the farming communities of the Guatemalan jungle, the simple life was a good one, sustained by family, faith, community, and the pilots, like Michael Sullivan, who linked their isolated villages.
Then the repression began, the random, violent government purges, aided by the U.S. military and CIA—that wiped out crops and villages and forced men, women, and children into desperate lives of hiding in the dense jungle for sixteen long years.
When peace accords finally were signed, it was a story Michael Sullivan knew had to be told. Returning once again, he talked with the people he’d known long before—giving us the fascinating, painful, but most of all, deeply human tales of strength and survival in his recently released book, Not Our Day To Die - Testimony from the Guatemalan Jungle.
Born and raised in northwestern Illinois, Michael Sullivan studied aeronautical engineering at the University of Colorado. In 1972, he received his pilot’s license and traveled south to, meeting Father Bill Woods in Guatemala, flying for the land reform project that was reshaping the Ixcan region and joining his life with that of its people.
Join Michael Sullivan and me on Tuesday, January 30, 10-11 A.M. CT US.

After the trauma of a savage attack, a farm girl recovers physically, but her identity, faith, and relationships are shattered.
This is the true story of Leona Stucky’s childhood on a Kansas farm, surrounded by a loving family and the simple tenets of her Mennonite community. Violence enters her world in the guise of a young man who seems normal to everyone else but who Leona knows to be deranged in his obsession with her. His unrelenting abuses take root, and Leona must deal with them utterly alone. Her pacifist father cannot avenge or protect her, nor can a callous justice system. Even God is impotent.
Leona is cast into a bewildering life of disgrace and poverty—with a baby, a violent husband, and battered faith. Through a series events, she hacks through the bones of her naïveté to confront harsh realities and to probe the veracity of religious claims.
Dr. Leona Stucky first received a degree in psychology and philosophy from Boston College, graduating summa cum laude, before plunging into seminary, first at Andover Newton Theological School and then at Eden Theological Seminary.

Would you like to learn how to cultivate inner wisdom, understand human nature… why we are who we are?
Then you will enjoy reading Truth and Illusion - The Politics of Spirituality by Rev. Carol Richardson. Her latest book brings forth the yogic science of spirituality that extends psychology’s understanding of human nature, so that finally we can understand why one person’s lie is another one’s truth.
You will learn: 1. Why we must harmonize dualistic thinking, such as East–West, male–female, left brain–right brain, rich–poor, and individualistic–communal, so we can find truth. 2. How the seven chakras represent our progress in understanding life, truth, ourselves, and one another. 3. How patriarchy has overpowered humanity culturally and religiously, limiting our human development and blocking our access to ultimate truths. 4. How feminine qualities, masculine qualities, love, fear, and the world views of each of our seven chakras combine to explain why we see the world the way we do.
Rev Carol Richardson has a Bachelor of Science in psychology, and a Master of Public Health. She also has a Master of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University Divinity School. As an ordained Christian minister Rev Carol has been meditating for 20 years and pursuing Eastern spiritual studies as well.

Every adult can name a special teacher who affected his or her life. Teachers create our collective future, acting as role models and confidants, in addition to their official jobs helping students learn the curriculum. And yet, today teachers are facing funding cuts and low morale, while we head toward a national teacher shortage.
What better time than now to show teachers we need and appreciate them? The 101 stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Teachers provide our educators with the inspiration and positive reinforcement they deserve every day.
“Teaching is not just what we do, teaching is what we are,” says California Teacher of the Year Alex Kajitani in his introduction to the book. He and Chicken Soup for the Soul’s editor-in-chief Amy Newmark put together this collection of 101 stories, choosing them from the thousands of stories that were submitted by teachers, who share their best lessons from the ups and downs of their careers, and from grateful students, who report on how teachers changed their lives.
Join Alex Kajitani and me on Tuesday, April 25, 10-11 A.M. CT US, as we discuss stories that will make teachers laugh a lot, cry a little, and nod their heads in recognition.
People often lean towards either trusting their gut or relying on their analytical mind in making life decisions. Ellen Tadd, an internationally known clairvoyant counselor and educator who has been teaching and counseling for more than forty years, urges everyone to consider a new approach that allows both emotions and the intellect to be guided by wisdom.
Through describing how the Spirit, soul, and personality are integrated, she guides everyone in deepening and expanding their perceptions to discover practical solutions to everyday challenges. According to Tadd, “Spirit is the God Force that animates and empowers us and suffuses everyone and everything. But while Spirit is conscious and communicative, we haven’t been taught to look for or listen to it. In fact, most of us have been conditioned not to look or listen. When we choose to attune our conscious mind with Spirit, we find ourselves able to engage life with greater clarity—even when it tests us through illness, death, loneliness, anxiety, or fear.”
Join Ellen Tadd and me on Tuesday, April 18, 10-11 A.M. CT US, as we discuss her last book, The Infinite View: A Guidebook for Life on Earth. Listen and learn how to use our “third eye.”

“How much better would life be if lived with possibility? This book is filled with the stories of people who didn’t heed the negative voice in their heads, who proved the experts wrong, who dug deep and as a result celebrated victories—some monumental, some small,” says Deborah Norville, an award-winning host of Inside Edition, and a journalist, news anchor and entrepreneur, in her introduction to Chicken Soup for the Soul latest edition, Think Possible.
Deborah continued with, “Here’s a news flash if you suspect ‘thinking’ possible is a waste of brain power: You are wrong! The research I’ve discovered reveals that when you’ve decided you are going to do something, you not only increase your chances of being successful by priming your brain to make the right choices to achieve your goal, you also make yourself less susceptible to the impediments that might crop up along the way. It’s as though you’ve supercharged your mind and put on body armor to ward off the naysayers.”

Autism is usually portrayed as a checklist of deficits, including difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. This perspective leads to therapies focused on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms.
Dr. Barry M. Prizant, an internationally renowned autism expert, offers a new and compelling paradigm: the most successful approaches to autism don’t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual’s experience and what underlies the behavior.
Join Dr. Barry Prizant and me on Tuesday, October 13, 10-11 A.M. CT US, as we discuss his groundbreaking book on autism, Uniquely Human. Dr. Prizant offers inspiring stories, and practical advice drawn from his four-decade career working in universities, schools, hospitals, and in private practice.

The National Center for Family Literacy reports that research shows children’s literacy levels are strongly linked to the literacy levels of their parents, especially their mothers. Literate adults raise healthier and more successful children.
The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 defines literacy as an individual’s ability to read, write, speak English, and compute and solve problems at levels of proficiency necessary to function on the job and in society, to achieve one’s goals, and develop one’s knowledge and potential..
The term functional illiteracy refers to those individuals who, even knowing how to read and write simple phrases, do not have the basic aptitudes to satisfy the demands of their daily needs nor to develop themselves personally and professionally.

From Newton, Einstein to GOD is a poetic memoir that follows the amazing life of nuclear physicist, Dr. Leong Ying, beginning with his birth into poverty in 1961 in the former British colony of Singapore. His family is able to make their way to England. There, as a child with prophetic abilities and a penchant for daydreaming, Ying turns away from his spirituality and toward the logic of science, ultimately earning a graduate degree in nuclear physics.
Dr. Ying immigrates to the United States and, for a time, chases what he sees as the declining American dream. In this new land, the duality of Ying’s life comes into focus, and he uses science – which he’d formerly applied to deny the existence of God – to reveal the “ultimate godly secrets.”
Join Dr. Leong Ying, and me on Tuesday, July 28, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be discussing his discovery of the Twin Universe theory.
