This week on TAB Mindfulness Conversations, we continue our Summer Series . So far, we have learned about “fostering” change — trying new practices on like samples at the grocery store, no pressure to get it perfect. Eartha shares a personal story of practicing this with her son around his reading, shifting the focus from perfection to progress and a growth mindset.
Now we are moving into our first self-compassion practice: self, not selfishness. What does it really mean to treat yourself the way you’d treat a trusted friend — the one who makes you feel safe, seen, and accepted? We notice something important along the way: those warm feelings aren’t just coming from the friend. They’re coming from inside you.
The episode closes with a compassionate body scan, moving from feet to face, thanking your body for carrying you through the ways you’ve shown up for others — even on the days marked by pain, stiffness, or tiredness.
One idea we keep returning to: treat yourself the way you treat your best friend. Your body, your breath, and your heart deserve that same patience, gratitude, and compassion.
For many of us, this is an emotional experience, because we’re not used to turning that kindness inward. And that brings us to our next step in self‑compassion: what we do with our thoughts.
In our upcoming practice, we’re going to look at the idea that “Thoughts are not facts.”
Just because a thought shows up—‘I’m not enough,’ ‘I always mess things up,’ ‘I shouldn’t feel this way’—doesn’t mean it’s the truth. We’ll learn how to notice those thoughts, give them a little space, and respond with the same compassion we started building in our body scan.

In this episode, When Fine Replaces Fascination: Jeanne Cummings Interviews Gina Maier Vincent, the microphone turns.
Gina Maier Vincent, founder of Exquisitely Aligned®, creator of Underliving™, author, speaker, modern culture observer, and host of The Exquisitely Aligned Podcast, steps out from behind the microphone and into the guest seat for a special conversation led by her beautiful friend Jeanne Cummings.
Jeanne is a business leader, strategist, and advisor who has spent her career helping divisions of large corporations enter new markets, turn around failing business units, and move through meaningful growth and transformation. She has also helped founders and CEOs build stronger companies, healthier leadership teams, and more valuable businesses.
What Gina appreciates so much about Jeanne is that she understands success from the inside. She knows what it means to lead, to build, to perform, to carry responsibility, and to create results in complex environments.
And, like so many high achievers, Jeanne also reached a moment where she began to recognize that success on paper does not always create fulfillment within.
That is exactly why this conversation feels so beautifully aligned.
Gina is usually the one asking the questions. This time, Jeanne invites Gina into the deeper story behind her work, her message, and the life experiences that shaped the conversation she is here to lead.
Together, Jeanne and Gina explore what happens when life looks fine, successful, responsible, and even admirable, but something essential has gone quiet.
In this conversation, they explore:
- Why “fine” can become one of the most expensive words in a person’s life
- The moment Gina called off her wedding at twenty-eight and began trusting what no longer felt honest
- What Underliving™ really means — when you are working hard to maintain a life that no longer moves you.
- Why highly capable people are often the last to notice they are living beneath the aliveness available to them
- How success on paper can still leave a person quietly longing for something more honest, beautiful, and alive
- Why fascination is not frivolous, but a powerful clue that life is asking you to look again
This episode is personal, joyful, revealing, and full of the language at the heart of Gina’s work: attention, discernment, beauty, aliveness, fascination, and the courage to look again.

If today’s conversation made you wonder where fine has quietly replaced fascination in your own life, I invite you to explore a private VIP Day with Gina Maier Vincent.
This experience is for the capable person who has built a life that works, but can feel something inside asking for more honesty, more beauty, more aliveness, and more alignment.
Together, we look at where your time, energy, attention, relationships, work, and desires may no longer match who you are becoming.
Because fine may have gotten you here…
but fascination is what begins to show you what is next.

Are you married? Have you or are you being sexually, physically, emotionally, mentally, and psychologically abused? What have you been taught about divorce? Are you a Believer of Christ? Are you afraid to leave? Have you been told to stay and pray? Well, I think this episode is for YOU, if you answered ‘YES’ to any of these questions. Tune in, sit back and get the deliverance and freedom you so richly deserve.
There are very few teachers of the glorious truths about death and the afterlife who really have given that topic all the research time and attention that it needs for them to be able to understand it enough to truly make sense of it, and then to be able to teach it well; and our wonderful guest today is one of those few people. On top of all that, Sandra Champlain is gifted in her ability to be able to really reach out and touch people, in profoundly spiritual ways. Over the years, Roberta Grimes and Sandra Champlain have become close friends, and Roberta has come to think of Sandra as perhaps her primary successor in this work. Sandra is building a booming career of her own in afterlife education! She has produced hundreds of valuable podcasts, interviewing notable mediums and others in the afterlife field; and she has come to work more and more closely with George Noory, and has become part of George’s Coast to Coast radio team. She is now his afterlife expert, if you will. Then in addition, Sandra puts on weekly Sunday Gatherings, featuring international mediums; and she offers grief cafés for those who have suffered loss. Sandra Champlain is with us today for the 21st time in our thirteen years of doing these weekly Seek Reality podcasts! Roberta especially enjoys her visits with Sandra, who is such a happy and joyous person, a beacon of light who is so much fun to be with. Roberta says that whenever Sandra visits, we never quite know what might come up! Sandra’s website, which lists all her upcoming events, is wedontdie.com.

What do the donors think about the 2024 Presidential election? Jesse Watters had a fascinating report about the Democratic National Committee, and we will look into that on this week’s show.

In this episode with Dr. Danielle Dowling, Bryce and Danielle explore the paradigm shift that happens when moms reflect on the conditioning they had as young girls to be “good” and the realization that being a “good” mom actually happens when they are healthy. Being a healthy mom doesn’t mean forgetting who they are as a person outside of being a mom. Danielle explains that girls often learn that they need to be agreeable, impressive, low-maintenance, helpful, and generally, not to be a burden to others. Danielle’s work provides women, and especially moms, the ability to re-write their stories so that worth isn’t tied to productivity, but rather prioritizing their nervous systems so they can be healthy moms without the underlying guilt of being a burden.

You know with a friendly note
There are slogans …
Some better than others
This one, matters to me most of all
They say “Time heals all wounds”
I say and question “Does time really
heal all and old wounds?”
As the heart continuously pumps red blood
Does it matter who you are
and/or it doesn’t matter who you are?
I have to pause and think!
Yea, you do the thinking now!
There comes entry of storms … earthquakes
Tsunamis, tornados, cyclones, hurricanes
Mon-STR-OUS floods not from a waterfall
Terrestrial episodes from the unknowns
Where can you hear the spirit break?
The human breakdowns from psychopaths
With an unhealthy brain and demonic heart
We cannot blame it to climate change!
Which episodes are the worst from all?
I believe betrayal, rape, intentional disloyalty
As hurt, cruel setup like false accusations …
Damages with personal hurt, horrific beatings
Hostile environmental followed by toxic
Defamation of character followed by hostile
and harrassment in every form with beatings
Definitely not human mistakes …
Most disqualifying form of unkindly acts
Are the demonic curses human’s performs
Who is not nice all … be aware
Of these wolves and/or zombies
Not now at my age
I like to describe
As how to recognize
These unfriendly guys or gals
They enter in discreetly as a good samaritan
Their rotten soul is what you must know
You must not listen but learn to observe
You got to recognize and walk away from dirt
… it is what they are
It is not negativism …
It is the reality of an ugly of not humane
It is the devil dressed in white
You must know it is a disguise not in quiet
… but in the rottenness in forms
It is like a deadly infectious disease
Like bread onto a mould as it grows
As it crawls onto your skin
You got not to touch it … throw it and let it go
Their toxic tongues releases toxins
Are the worms worn on their jeans
As they carried on their human genes
They are torn having no love …
Know more … of this pathogenicity
It’s origin as appears tough
In order to proof have love but, not
Is a cement-sicken brain demented and twisted
Their love is hate …
It is painted all over their face
They live in a prison … their cell is hell
They allow themselves never to escape
They leave endless of hate
Everywhere they go … allergies
They seek hate never love …
They reverse love to hate
Every bridge they cross
They never escape …
Their morals is more hate
In order to multiple more of themselves
Let’s bring them out … even they have gout
Do not fall in their trap be wise
Please recognize their hate
No need to rate, please escape
… Walk away to not get contaminated
They’re wolves with two legs instead of four
They speak not nice …
They point their fingers at your face
Thinking they rule over you, not true
Do not become like them
To be accepted …
Pray and always walk away
Is better to join love than that gang of hate
They may think …
By sticking to their crowd
They’ll triumph over you
Know stand alone with God
… be that tiny star up in that sky
… twlinkling and wrinkling at you
… it is a smile from God
It’s not a war … It’s not vengeance or revenge
Forgive and pray as He may say “They do not
Know what they do!”
Set the stage to know what they doing!”
They are dead and you are not!
… know love lives and hate is death
I do not want war
I do not want revenge
I do not want to make up
That’s because, none deserves me
Going back to that saying …
I say time do not heal all and/or old wounds
You die with it and I believe you must learn
It is nice to walk with caution and be equipped
… it’s what I learned
The sun fades …
The clouds disappears
The moon goes away
The sun-rays wakes us up
… yea, the sun-rays wakes us up
That arrow structure pain …
As it pieced heart
You may call it … emotional trauma
I call it insane is what they are?
With a broken heart …
As they left you scared
How to make it fade?
I say is shape and dull to let it go
… yea, I say is sharp and dull to let it go
Try to master only love
Then hate will go …
Now, place your hands next to your heart
Let the light in God enter in …
Believe never in their dark rules
Their policies and procedures to rule with hate
Got to be changed and bury hate
In order to wake up love …
Some may say …
I’ll take days, months, years and therapy
I say an eternity to erase hate …
You got to bury your head with love
… their mistakes not yours but, theirs
Now is the time to be wise to rate
Their cruel acts from 1 to 100
I say was the worst a chance
You should never take …
They desire a calculation
Though or seconds …
The phase that is “nail by nail, tooth by tooth”
What does it mean?
You got to fight like a lion
and run like a marathoner
Pray all your days …
… and never let love escape
You got to bring those perpetrator to justice
You can’t let them get away
With their injustice …
You got to be strong aim for the light
You must stop them in their acts
In order to bury their hate
You cannot let them get away
As hurting others must be stopped
I like to open a school where everyone’s hurts
Will go away …
I will let it to continue to exists not
I would bury all the hate
By planting new seeds of love
How to start?
I must start by reaching
To the deepest and highest mountain
Listen to its echos that is God …
I would start to listen
To every confused heart
Especially every sadden ones
I would dig an imaginary hole and enter love
Then, I would magnetize the melodies …
Make their heart numb with peaceful sounds
Remove all of their painful memories
Add love and place hate in a box
I would cement it and seal it
I would throw it at the Pacific Ocean
I would never be see again as corals grows on it
A promise I like to keep en mi alma de azul
… My blue soul that is gold
Know time is transient …
Would I allow time to be a friend?
How to define time?
We know, that at time is not a friend
Because why is it good people die?
Why the bad one gets to live?
Life is fair?
I say not because not everyone finds love!
Going back to the slogan
How to comprehend grief
When at the end
Is never fair?
Like looking …
I to a black mirror …
You know can only see darkness
You got to see the light never the dark
I would change every clocks …
I would break every mirrow holding hate
I would look at God’s splendors
Question Him why must have hate?
… Why must have live?
… It must be bury
I would break down every rules
I would make it straight and right
I would change every dark heart
I would bring light bury black in their heart
I would wake up every good heart
I would make every untarnished souls natural
I would bring love back …
I would give every heart in hurts the light
I would make all their wrongs right
I would give them all the greatest
Of gifts …
That is love …
That would be …
Ahead a new start at love
Give a heart full of love
Leaving no regrets only ove
Ease their pains … ask God endless peace
By removing all their past of hate, How?
As they sleep ask more of God
To bring them love …
I like to give and bring closure …
To the broken hearted and grieved hearts
To stay with love instead
By letting all go …
In order
To live
and keep love
… Amen

Michael Earls is a technology leader, enterprise strategist, and writer focused on the intersection of leadership, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. In our conversation he brilliantly talks about what happens when speed outpaces direction and what it takes to come back. The Digital Compass isn’t another framework you have to remember or a productivity system. Earls shows us a path to check whether you’re still pointed where you said you want to go.
Here’s a look at our video chat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=varm45QWRwMThe book uses four directions to ask the questions most people never quite ask themselves. North — what actually matters. East — what you’re letting in. South — how you’re spending your time. West — what you’re refusing to engage with. As Earls says the world keeps accelerating. AI. Cloud. Automation. Decision cycles compressing into hours. Notifications competing for attention every minute of every day. The Digital Compass: Finding Direction When Everything Moves Too Fast is a game changer. He has written two other books: Finding Direction in the Age of AI: Finding Clarity, Leadership and Human Connection a World Moving at Machine Speed and Wired for Purpose: A Daily Devotional for IT Professionals.

There are forces …
Nothing in the likes of love
Love pulls and enters …
As a magnet and goes when none
The most powerful force is love
Let me focus on love …
Love makes us grow to perfection
It’s through love we here on this planet Earth
Are the reasons …we’ve birds
As it seeks more of it in groups
Flowers, trees, honeybees, our ocean’s floors
And flowers flourishing with it
… as gives us treats to eat
I want to connect and make it short
The theme of love and express it
Even defend it
It’s the reasons
We all must grab love
You got to grab it to the fullest
Like a magnet
Take it full strength
My writings doesn’t have to lengthen
I as try to explain love
All writers have explained it already
As I go … just have to flow with love
As I the see the moon
As silently grabs and pulls
The ocean tides
As its bride
Can I tell why it doesn’t seem to be alone?
The strength of the ocean and the moon
Are indeed bride and groom
It prefers sand as its children
There’s rivers where you can see water flow
As tiny creeks in different lines
Fills the landscapes …
There you do not want to escape
If a preference … of peace and love
To stay hearing the birds chirp
It’s call to mate … as a slow rate
Take a plate feed the chicks waiting to be
I can see the sun leave
As tomorrow will welcome in
I can hear the new babes cries
Is hungry alright, it had arrive on time
Soon will grow and crawl
A new young comes fine tune
From its mother’s womb
It smells her perfume of love
She’ll protect her young and all of her offspring’s
In the winter and spring
She spring ahead every year
To get ahead …
Soon, will be another year
The start of school, college, a new job and …
Marriage and offspring of its own
Nature always has it’s way … a cycle of life
Evolution takes an illusion
To be what aught to be
Is it fate?
Let’s have faith by grabbing all the love today
We know today …
Tomorrow will come
For some not for all
Take today with love
Let hate go
Never tempt it
To bring it back
Be glad is gone
Take love
Love, love
… and only
Love!
Our guest today, coming to us all the way from Australia, is Inna Segal, an internationally recognized intuitive healer, bestselling author, and pioneer in grounded, practical spirituality. Her spiritual awakening became profoundly personal after the devastating loss of her child, which was an experience that opened her perception to the invisible worlds. During this time, she encountered an angelic being who offered precise guidance and a prediction that later unfolded exactly as it had been described. This moment ignited a lifelong commitment in her to better understanding the spiritual realms with clarity, discernment, and depth. For more than twenty years, Inna has studied both Eastern and Western esoteric traditions, with an especially deep resonance for the work of Rudolf Steiner. Her new book, Understanding Modern Spirituality, bridges ancient wisdom with contemporary insight, bringing nuance, structure, and maturity to a field that she tells us is often dominated by vague or oversimplified teachings. Inna’s work dives into subtle bodies, astral intelligence, soul evolution, karma, ancestral healing, spiritual hierarchies, and the essential (yet misunderstood) role of the ego in awakening. She encourages seekers to think deeply, question bravely, and approach spirituality with grounded awareness rather than just passive belief. Her website is www.innasegal.com.

There are times that we feel the way things are will be the way they’ll always be but I’m here to tell you, that’s not true. We can’t stay stuck in the now.
Content warning: conversation surrounding death and loss
In today’s episode, Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW, sits down with Carol Banens, a grief educator, coach, author, and speaker to discuss the complexities of grief, including in children. Carol shares her personal experience with grief at a young age and how it shaped her grief journey through adulthood. The conversation explores different types of grief, from grieving the death of a loved one, moving to a new place, or losing a friendship. Bryce emphasizes the importance of recognizing different types of grief in children which may be a new concept for parents and caregivers. Carol defines grief as “any significant loss” and explains that recognizing early grief in kids sets them up for a better understanding of grief as they go through more life experiences into adulthood. Carol gives clear instructions on talking with kids about death using age-appropriate language. The conversation also covers the physical aspects of grief and how to recognize how challenging grief really is which leads into spirituality and how, no matter what a person’s belief system is, being open to exploring different types of healing can guide us through grief.

A former physical therapist of over 36 years, she understands how grief impacts the body as well as the heart.

What do you actually say when a growth-mindset observation lands wrong — and the person on the other end gets defensive instead of curious?
In this episode, Eartha shares practical, ready-to-use language for exactly that moment: the short phrases that redirect a conversation without triggering more defensiveness (“Not yet.” “What changed?” “That’s information, not a label.”) — and the deeper skill underneath them: staying grounded in your own growth mindset even when someone else isn’t.
We also talk about why this works better as a repeated practice than a one-time conversation — small, consistent language shifts change behavior faster than trying to win someone over in a single talk. If you’ve ever needed the right words in the moment a conversation started to go sideways, this episode is for you.
A practical toolkit for growth-mindset conversations — with someone else, and with yourself.

By and large, Evangelicals claim that in spite of not having a detailed knowledge of the Bible, you can still be a good Christian if you have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
On the other hand, you can have a fantastic knowledge of the Bible and be a lousy Christian or none at all.
We know that Jesus came to die, to save, and to build his church, and that God has good things for us in store. And while we cannot grasp in detail all that God prepared for us, “for now we see in a mirror dimly,” or “through a glass, darkly” (1 Cor 13:12 KJV), it is possible to deepen our understanding of God’s plan in ways helpful for living the Christian life.
Ever since you became a Christian, you were in Christ, and Christ was in you, and in him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. These treasures have been in you in Christ all along. It is the author’s hope and prayer that this book will assist you in uncovering some of these hidden treasures. It will show:
- How to improve spiritual perception through recognizing the various perspectives of time
- How to discern biblical doctrine from man made doctrine
- How redemption can be achieved
- How the functioning of the churches relates to the time of Christ’s second coming.
Moreover, it will give practical advice. It will show you how to display a forgiving spirit, where pronouncing forgiveness would be misleading because the offender failed to repent.Get your copy of Snapshots of Time & Eternity: A Three-Dimensional Christian Worldview by Eckehart Augustiny on Amazon.

Your Seek Reality host is the wonderful Kim Hodous, back with us for the fourth time, who has graciously volunteered to read Roberta’s new novel, which is fresh out this summer from Hybrid Global Publishing, and to interview its author. The year is 1968, and Jack Richardson is a 28-year-old Fifth Avenue penthouse hermit who is suddenly famous, because he has just been pronounced by Time Magazineto be “The Richest American Under the Age of Forty” following his gangster father’s sudden death. Jack has inherited a billion-dollar fortune in ill-gotten international gains; although Jack’s father had somewhat redeemed himself by spearheading much of Detroit’s retooling to make tanks and planes to help the United States to win the Second World War. But Jack cares nothing for any of that. He is 6’8” tall, depressive and autistic, and the only child of a mother who is also deceased, but who had abused him sexually from his infancy as her only way to battle her husband. Our heroine, Bobbi Christian, is a sweet and naïve recent graduate of Smith College who has moved to Manhattan to learn how to program a gigantic new IBM 360 computer at Larkin Enterprises, which is Jack’s holding company. Bobbi is planning to start there, then go to law school, then eventually become the first woman President of the United States. Jack’s dating life consists in having his people send him Larkin employees with whom he can share dinner and after-dinner trysts; but when Larkin sends him Bobbi, she overwhelmingly entertains and delights him. They click at once, and so deeply that Jack persuades Bobbi to move in with him. Our girl has no real experience, but she is so kindly that she at once sets about trying to fix Jack’s whole messed-up life; although not without a lot of resistance from him. The reader watches each of them trying to figure things out, as Jack both fears, and also is eager to learn how to trust someone enough to finally leave his shell. A billion dollars in the Sixties was like what a trillion dollars would be today, and Jon Richardson left mostly real estate all over the world, including in the People’s Republic of China. Soon Jack has renamed Bobbi “Vixen”, after his childhood dog who kept biting him. Jon’s trustee, who still controls Jack’s father’s estate, is soon sending them on colorful worldwide jaunts, to claim assets before they can escheat to foreign governments. Jack’s only prep school friend tricks Jack into holding a New Year’s Eve party for their Phillips Andover class, and he thereby helps Jack to realize that, far from being the class goat that he had long thought he was, of course Jack is richer than any of them. And thanks to Vixen’s inventive nurturing, he is becoming self-confident enough to begin to put a lot of his past to rest. For Jack and Vixen, what had been a precarious relationship at first, has over the past two years become a deep and genuine love that we know can last a lifetime. As Jack turns thirty and claims his fortune, he asks Vixen to marry him. But, what about Gloria Steinem and Women’s Liberation? What about Bobbi’s own big dreams? She has helped this man she adores grow up, but she is only 24. Who is she going to be when she herself turns 30? When Vixen talks about going to law school now, babe, Jack tells her she will never need law school, honey, because she never will have to work a day in her life. As Bobbi tries to think more clearly. she comes to see Jack’s marriage proposal as really a terrible, impossible choice that she must make between her beloved darling and herself.

Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW sits down with Katherine Hood, Self-Leadership Coach, to discuss how to lead life in a way you feel good about from the inside out. Katherine explains that self-leadership is a way to live your life in alignment and therefore modeling your own values, morals and principles to others. The two women relate this concept to parenting and the importance of parenting with patience, staying grounded, and modeling emotional maturity. Whether you’re working with a young child, teenager, or adult, Katherine explains that seeking first to understand is important in leading others without shame or guilt. Bryce asks the important question of “how can we repair our relationships when we’ve created an emotional wound?” Katherine’s advice is to take ownership of our part in the situation and share our mistakes with others as a way to relate and bond, creating trust. It is ok to change, grow, adapt, and show our human side! Self-leadership is also important in using our energy wisely in living a successful, healthy, and balanced life. Katherine closes with the importance of moving through relationships without expectations.

Katherine Hood is a Self-Leadership and Relationship Mentor and Educator helping people build a life they don’t need a vacation from. She is a retired-at-35 entrepreneur with a decades-long habit of doing life at full volume. She spent thirty years in wild Alaska, competed in sprint dog mushing, built custom fly rods as a teenager, survived forty-below winters, appeared on a few reality shows, and somehow became a champion shooter along the way. She has also been a bodybuilder for twelve years, had two back surgeries, and came back stronger both physically and mentally.
Her work today is simpler and deeper. She helps people stop running from themselves and start leading from the inside out. The people who find Katherine are successful on paper but feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. Together they untangle the thought patterns and emotional habits that keep them stuck so they can reconnect with their clarity, their values, and their voice.
Katherine states “I’m not here to fix anyone. I’m here to help them see what’s underneath the noise.” Real change happens when awareness meets steady action, and that’s the heart of the work we do.
Outside of sessions you’ll find her with her Boston Terriers, hiking, fishing, or exploring by ATV, kayak, paddleboard, or snowmachine. Katherine loves a good food tour, a quiet trail, and any excuse to be near water. She’s also writing her first book, which threads through everything she’s lived and everything she teaches.
If you’re ready to feel grounded, clear, and genuinely at home in your own life, this is the work.

In this episode, When Strength Becomes Armor, Gina Maier Vincent welcomes Captain James Owen, retired Long Beach Fire Department captain, speaker, founder of Camp Pivot, and author of The Last Patient, for a deeply human conversation about trauma, recovery, service, addiction, self-worth, and the hidden cost of being the person others depend on in crisis.
James spent decades running toward emergencies most people run from. But as he shares in this conversation, the fires that follow someone home can be harder to recognize than the ones they fight on the job.
Together, Gina and James explore:
- How emotional armor becomes a way of life for those trained to stay composed in crisis
- Why trauma accumulates over time, quietly stacking like “pancakes” until the weight becomes impossible to ignore
- What happens when capable people care for everyone else while slowly moving away from their own healing
- The moment his son’s questions, the “favorite chair,” and the truth of his own condition made help impossible to avoid
- How recovery through 12-step work, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and new healing modalities helped him begin again
- The shift from “one day” to “this is day one,” and what changed when he began giving himself the best
- Why recovery is not linear, self-worth must be checked honestly, and being bent is not the same as being broken
This episode is especially meaningful for first responders, military members, physicians, law enforcement officers, caregivers, leaders, adult children of alcoholics, and anyone who has ever been praised for being strong while privately knowing something inside was not okay.
Through the lens of Gina’s work around Underliving, this conversation asks what happens when fine replaces fascination while life continues to function — and what it takes to begin returning to yourself before collapse becomes the only permission to change.
James’s message is clear: you are not broken. You are bent. Recovery is not linear. And healing can begin the moment “one day” becomes “day one.”

If this conversation stirred something in you, I invite you to explore my work at ExquisitelyAligned.com, where I help high-functioning individuals, leaders, and seekers look beyond fine and become more available to the life that is still calling them.
You can also order my book, Exquisitely Aligned: A Pocket Guide to Your Magnificent Future, and listen to more evergreen conversations on The Exquisitely Aligned Podcast, ranked in the top 3% globally.
And if you are ready to examine where life may still be functioning but no longer fascinating you, I invite you to recognize where you are Underliving and the possibility of becoming Exquisitely Aligned.

A boy sits down to do a reading check-in on a tablet. Someone he loves walks by and asks him a question — he answers, because that’s what you do when someone you love talks to you. But the timer never stopped. When his score comes back lower than expected, he and his mom go back and listen to the recording together… and everything becomes clear.
In this episode of Self-Discovery and Mindsets are not just for kids, we follow that real moment alongside a forest fable — Ren the fox, his guide Owl, and a well-meaning Badger who has no idea how much his interruption cost. Two stories, one lesson: concentration is a skill you build by learning to see what pulls your focus away. And growth mindset isn’t just for kids — sometimes the grown-ups in our lives have their own reflexes to notice too.
A story about attention, honest feedback, and what happens after the sting of “I didn’t realize I was doing that.”

The Author
Brad A. LaMar when he’s not fighting evil witches and wizards or uncovering the true tales behind some of the most well-known nursery rhymes, is an educator who resides in the Indianapolis Metropolitan area in the US. He has taught science to middle school students for more than twenty-five-years. He is married to his wife Lori who he describes as a beautiful and supportive woman and has two grown up children Evan and Paige who are making their own way in the world.
Having interviewed Brad a couple of times and chatted to him over the years I think it’s fair to say he’s a man whose head never really gravitated far from the fantasy world of childhood/teenage imaginations.
The idea for the Celtic Mythos series came from his love of science fiction and fantasy and the underutilized and abundantly rich folklore of the Celtic people. They are so much more than leprechauns! Brad has always loved a good story, and upon reaching the mythos of the Celtic Isles he became enthralled in the type of story he could create.
Brad especially enjoys the way a story makes a reader think, laugh and react. He has worked hard to bring about those experiences in his best-selling YA fantasy series, Celtic Mythos.
As for The Goz Tales books and Winkerton Wolf well, Brad really has let his childhood memories of old nursery rhymes and their characters run riot as he puts a completely different spin on bygone tales cleverly entwined with detective twists.
Brad with all his books is clearly showing to his readers the breath and reach of his story telling skills.

This is the first book in the Muff N Mann and Tom Thumb detective stories. Muff is a baker who works in the village bakery of Gosling, now Gosling isn’t a particularly nice place to live as it’s plagued with crimes all related to old nursery rhymes. Tom, Muff’s detective partner lives in the bread bin in the bakery shop as he is the size of a thumb, but his detective skills are quite astute when required. Muff and Tom’s reputation to solve mysteries has spread wide and far and they start to receive letters asking for help. This book starts off with the nursey rhyme “Jack and Jill” who we all know went up a hill to fetch a pale of water, but why did they go up the hill and furthermore why did they come tumbling back down again. Muff and Tom are tasked with revealing what’s behind this ancient rhyme and where it takes them and what other famous nursey rhyme characters they meet along the way is what this storyline/case is all about. There are thirteen chapters to this story for young children to fall in love with and discover how different characters from other nursey rhymes beautifully blend to crack this case.

Independently Published by Narrative Retail
This book is available through NarrativeRetail.com as from August 2026
What has a billionaire pig who goes by the name of Norma Pigg, her three brothers, bad wolf, a Tv Judge and gumming all have in common. Well, the answer lies within this second book. Muff has had a visit to the bakery from Norma Pigg who hands him a note, he’s keen to take the case on, but all the others around him are very reluctant all most to the point of being hostile to the idea, even the judge advises Muff to leave well alone. However, Muff is undeterred with all the negativity and proceeds drawing those around him into the murky world of gumming in the next-door village of Grimm. We meet new nursey rhyme characters from more old nursey rhymes and as in the first book again the characters blend well to reveal all as to what’s going on here. The plot thickens, but who is really behind all the gumming shenanigans going on here.

Winkerton Wolf: and the Civil Court Suit
Independently published by Narrative Retail
This book is available via NarrativeRetail.com
Well, is this a very short story about the three little piggies suing Winkerton the big bad wolf in court, or a very long poem with forty-three stanzas. Either way it’s an intriguing spin on the story of the three little piggies and the big bad wolf. Hmm… read it to formulate your own opinion.
Young minds are going to enjoy these endearing ditties from old nursery rhymes. I did.
Enjoy!

The Author
Abundance N Solomon is a health care support worker from Cambridge in the UK. He was born in Nigeria and moved with his family to the UK at the age of five. Strangely enough as a child he often thought what is life like after death. Despite all his childhood attempts to ascertain an answer he drew a blank, but he does know now. In his early teens his father sent him back to Nigeria to fulfil his secondary and tertiary education. While he was there at a military boarding school in Northern Nigeria, he turned his attention to the gospel and the more he became engrossed with its teachings the more his life took on a deeper spiritual meaning something that has remained with him right up to this present day. He came back to the UK where he undertook another degree, while completing that degree he got the inspiration to write the book.

Music pervades the world. Whether it’s a product jingle, a movie soundtrack, the latest pop hit, or a Mozart symphony, music is all around us, playing in ear buds, wireless speakers, car radios, and even a few boomboxes. Music has also played a large part in the history of science. In the 17th Century, Johannes Kepler formulated his famous laws of planetary motion, which he called the “music of the spheres,” and today science continues to look for the harmonies and symmetries of nature. In the field of neuroscience, researchers have found that brain oscillations are organized into harmonic relationships, which begins to sound like the human body is intertwined with what mystical traditions call the “the harmony of the universe.” Today’s guests are Lisa Masé and Evan Premo, the co-founders of ThirdTone who have taken these principles to develop music and natural tones to put brain and body in harmony, something that many of can surely use. Today your host, Philip Comella, delves into this fascinating subject with Lisa and Evan.

This episode kicks off our summer self‑discovery series with a fresh look at how our minds grow. Eartha breaks down the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, sharing real stories, teen‑friendly examples, and a few surprising truths about how habits, roles, and even social media can quietly shape the way we see ourselves.
Listeners learn a simple but powerful reframing tool: swap “I can’t” for “I can’t… right now.” That tiny shift opens the door to progress, practice, and possibility. Along the way, Eartha explores how negative self‑talk, comparison culture, and outside criticism can hold us back — and how noticing these patterns (without judgment) becomes the first step toward real growth.
This guided session invites teens to tap into their own signals, breathe with intention, and ask honest questions about what’s actually happening inside. It’s a warm, encouraging space to explore who you’re becoming, one mindful moment at a time. And as the summer series unfolds, we’ll keep building practical tools for confidence, calm, and self‑development.

Today we are considering a crucial element of reality, as we continue to Seek Reality together, as we have faithfully done, every week for the past thirteen years. This is a part of reality that has been seldom talked about in even the past hundred years, simply because it is not material. So you think you can’t really see it. And traditional scientists have tried to limit themselves, believe it or not, to studying only what is at least in some way material! But what we talked about last week, and we will be talking about again today, is going to be considered, and talked about even by serious scientists more and more as we go forward, simply because, to be perfectly frank, Consciousness is the only thing that actually, independently, exists. Consciousness is the sculptor, and it is also the clay. It’s God, and it’s you, and it is also me. So, there, in a sentence or two, you have it all. And today we are going to delve even further into an area that we at Seek Reality predict will be talked about more and more in the coming years. We simply are trying to stay a bit ahead of the curve, as we strive to ever better live up to our name! We continue to delve into the new and ever more exciting field of human consciousness. And Chetan Parkyn, who is the author of the highly regarded work, Human Design, said about Greg Halpern, who is our guest today, and about his work – He said, “Greg is someone that is able to receive information that’s not written up in any library anywhere. This is not information that you’ll find on the internet or in books anywhere, he said that he is a pure channel to receive this extraordinary knowledge, and the knowledge is of great benefit, and it comes in a time when the world really needs this benefit.” Greg’s book is called Semantics and Mechanics, and his website is www.Patriotinnercircle.com

How were they murdered?
Upon arriving from visiting their jailed husbands’
Dictator Trujillo send his men to ambush them
First killing their driver, then they were strangled
Making sure they died tragically
They were beaten with clubs
Pushed off a cliff …
As to pretend an accident occurred
Like Jesus Christ!
They suffered … In the name of freedom
Minerva, will always stand out
Along her two sisters
I must say and state
Why the innocents
Get all the blame?
They tend not to fight but, smile
Why is that it takes death …
To awake man’s consciousness?
Let’s mention Eric Garden dying by police arms
And chokehold … neck and chest compressed

Died in the hands of ICE?
Why may I say?
Because after …

Hyperthermia kicked in!
Seeking warmer environment …
She found refuge on a bus terminal …
In Pittsburgh, she left her cries as a frozen flesh
No one heard her last words as she passed on!
America, wake up …
Since when have we become
A country of hate …
They are all searching
For the American Dream …
Just like all immigrants do
Give them a hand …
Not a baton of hate!
Do not place hate in your heart as Satan!
Do not kill them … give instead, a bottle of water
Listen to their voices of Americans
Who still have love …
Know …
They are all free
Just like …
You and me
I like to end with three friends. They are all … In heaven, I had to pause! All saints their Sacrifices were that of the greatest
They needed no friends on planet Earth
It was God himself …
Recognizing these pure souls
On their heads are crowns
Made out of the most unusual elements
Not found from this Earth
Minerva, Maria Teresa and Patria
Are in God’s possession
Every November 25th
God plans His time
With three women’s
They take the lead after Him
Their love, being one of greatest
Their sacrifices were endless
Until this day, not a day …
Goes by without paying homage to
To three women’s soldiers …
Who by its history
Through motherhood
Took DR as their fight
Now in Heaven, they all are
November 25 … Let it be known
That once lived three sisters in DR
That fought super hard
… for democracy
They are not dead
They are move alive today
Then that of all of yesterday
Let it be known …
That is worthy of notification
To bless these three women
For all women of the past and
Who are still present in our days
Trujillo was killed
Upon Dominicans
Hearing of the dead of the three sisters
Known as simply “The Butterflies”
I get butterflies in my stomach …
To learn and keep them nice and clean
Let’s not dirty them but, visit their graves
They all left this Earth clean …
With the greatest of sacrifice
Freedom, loyalties for its people
Dominicans all have a hero in Heaven
The most sacred of places is DR by name
Let me raise my right hand for the USA
A daughter of America … Where I left my home
Is the USA I protect and die for …
Even if I have to crack all of my bones
Let’s remember November 25
For all the women’s violence
Of the days … cry with them
Never let ugly bad creature’s grab your peace
Toss aside their revenge
Take it to the cemetery as hate
Dig the deepest whole …
Now take hate and bury hate
Toss out the shovel …
Before you walk away with hate
Throw all the dirt on it …
Now pray, no men will take up the dead
Wake up love …
Then walk away
Now place your right hand across your heart
Hear it as its best, it’s pumping all its blood
Grab all the love now, spread the new seeds of Love. Don’t forget to water it often
Before it goes dry …
Pick up love dismiss all the hate

Discover the story behind Revelation Signs as author Alan Gattis shares why he believes God called him to write this thought-provoking book about Revelation, biblical prophecy, and the end times.
Gattis (Wife) My wife kept telling me I needed to write a book, and I was like, ‘Me write a book? Nah.’ But eventually God had me do just that.
Sam: Some books begin with an idea. Others begin with years of research. Alan Gattis believes his book, Revelation Signs, began more than twenty-five years before he ever wrote the first page.
Theme – Curated Chapter
Sam: Today on The Curated Chapter, we are going to look at the book Revelation Signs: Astrology Condemned and Discovering What God Says. By Alan Gattis. He says, years of studying Scripture eventually convinced him that God was preparing him to write a book about one of the Bible’s most mysterious—and often debated—books: Revelation.
Gattis (25 years) God had me write it. Over the last 25 years, he’s been giving me bits and pieces of information regarding the book of Revelation. My wife kept telling me I needed to write a book, and I was like, me write a book? Nah, but eventually God had me do just that. It took a year and a half to do it, but it’s got 25 years worth of stuff in it.
Sam: Now, Gattis has combined those twenty-five years of study into a book that he believes reveals a deeper understanding of the book of Revelation.
At the heart of Revelation Signs is Gattis’s belief that biblical prophecy, symbolism, and even the constellations point to God’s plan of salvation and offer insight into what he sees as the signs of the end times.
Gattis (End Times) Well, it’s about the fact that we are in the end times. God told Daniel to seal up the book that he was given until the end time, when many people were rushed here and there, and there would be an explosion of knowledge. That’s Daniel 12.4. And high-speed trains and ships and jets make global travel an everyday thing now. And we live in the information age. Anything you want to know, it’s at your fingertips for Google. And then Paul wrote in 2 Thessalonians about the great falling away. Some versions say the apostasy, some say the great rebellion, but we are experiencing this right now.
Sam: According to Gattis, that wasn’t about hiding Scripture forever. He believes the book of Revelation was sealed until the time when people would be able to understand its symbolism, imagery, and prophecy more completely.
He also argues that the world described in Daniel—a time of rapid travel, unprecedented knowledge, and spiritual change—is the very world we’re living in today. And if that’s true, he believes Revelation can now be understood in ways that weren’t possible before.
That’s also what he says sets Revelation Signs apart from other books on the subject.
Gattis (Why it’s different) But there are many books that are written about the book of Revelation. But what separates this book from all the others is this is the Holy Spirit’s interpretation, not mine. I just wrote what he gave me. 2 Peter 1 verse 20 says the Holy Spirit gave the prophets all the prophecies. It requires the Holy Spirit to interpret those prophecies for us. But God had me write this book to share it with all believers in the end times.
Sam: One of the most surprising ideas in Revelation Signs is Gattis’s invitation to reconsider the Zodiac—something many Christians have been taught to avoid altogether. But he’s not talking about astrology. He’s talking about the constellations.
Gattis (Southern Cross) Absolutely. God put what he was going to do through Christ in the stars, in the constellations, in the night sky. A lot of people don’t know, in the Northern Hemisphere particularly, that the Southern Cross constellation exists because they can’t see it from the Northern Hemisphere. The only way you can see it is if you’re around the equator or below it. It’s kind of close to the South Pole. People use it for navigation, North Star for navigation here. Well, one of the stars in the Southern Cross constellation, they use it for navigation in the Southern Hemisphere. But most people in the Northern Hemisphere don’t even know it exists. But if you go back to the 80s, the musical group Crosby, Fields, and Nash had a hit song called the Southern Cross. They were singing about sailing the South Pacific and seeing the Southern Cross constellation in the night sky.
Sam: This wasn’t an idea Gattis says he came up with on his own. He traces his interest in the constellations back to a sermon by the late Dr. D. James Kennedy and Kennedy’s book, The Real Meaning of the Zodiac. From there, he began reading other Christian authors who explored similar ideas.
Gattis (Blown away) I had read the book and when I was reading Revelation 12 again, it absolutely blew my mind when the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to this. For five or ten minutes, I’m not sure how long, all I could do was walk around the house from room to room to room to room. My hair was standing up because I was so blown away.
Sam: Gattis says that realization became a turning point in his understanding of Revelation. According to Gattis, the constellations weren’t created to predict anyone’s future. They were created to tell God’s story.
Gattis (Prophecy) They are God’s message to the world from the week of creation because he put them there in the night sky during the week of creation to prophecy about what he was going to do through his son, Jesus Christ.
Sam: Gattis argues that many Christians have misunderstood the word “Zodiac.”
Gattis (Zodiac) The word Zodiac is God’s word. That’s His name for the constellations. It’s what He calls them. We were taught the signs of the Zodiac were all about astrology and witchcraft, but they don’t have anything to do with what month you were born, how the stars, sun and moon influence our lives and the horoscopes they write. That’s the demonic deception and witchcraft of the astrologers. Evil can’t create anything, only God can.
Sam: Gattis says these ideas didn’t come all at once. While writing the book, he says there were times he reached passages he didn’t fully understand. Rather than relying on his own conclusions, he says he stopped and prayed for guidance
Gattis (Process) It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, what you know, what you don’t know. When God has something for you to do, he will provide you with what you need to fulfill that task. And that’s a testimony I have for that. I didn’t know everything in the book of Revelation. There were moments when I was working on it that I had to stop and ask the Holy Spirit, what does this mean? Because I didn’t have any idea. He’d given me a lot of information, but he hadn’t given me all of it. And it was so wonderful. All I had to do was ask. And he gave me the interpretations as I was writing. And that required a very close and intimate relationship with him in order to do that. And I still miss that time. And it’s not to say he’s finished with me, because he’s not. But it was an awesome time for me.
Sam: Whether you agree with his conclusions or merely find his perspective intriguing, one of my take-a-ways is the Revelation Signs invites all of us to look at some of the familiar bible passages through a very different lens.
Over more than twenty-five years of Bible study, Alan Gattis became convinced that God was preparing him to write this book. Along the way, he developed a perspective on Revelation, biblical prophecy, and the constellations that challenges many of our traditional assumptions and because of that he encourages readers to look at the Scriptures and decide for themselves.
Gattis (Awesome) The information that the Holy Spirit gave me is not just more information. This is mind blowing information that you can’t just sit down and do it in one reading. You read bits and pieces of it and then you have to lay it down and kind of chew on it for a little while and then you can go back and pick it up.
Sam: The full title of the book is Revelation Signs: Astrology Condemned and Discovering What God Says.

Today, Seek Reality delves further into an area that we predict will be talked about more and more in the coming months and years. So, as we strive to live up to our name, we on Seek Reality have begun to talk more about it now! It’s the new and exciting field of the open-minded study of human consciousness. And our guest this week, Ken Lloyd, is a worldwide pioneer in this field, doing work so new that he is an internationally recognized Energy Architect, and a Transformational Healer and Spiritual Activator whose work bridges science, spirit, and multidimensional energy. He calls himself a “soul-infused walk-in,” who embodies higher frequencies that facilitate profound transformation. Ken Lloyd was formerly a self-taught software engineer who built global technology companies, but then Ken’s energetic awakening redirected his focus to exploring the mechanics of consciousness. He set to applying systems design to human energy, where he identifies distortions, rewrites patterns, and restores coherence in the human field. He does this work through his global community, which is called Ken’s Divine Collective, and through his connection to the Library of Creation, where he channels healing frequencies and activation codes that realign body, mind, and spirit. Ken’s sessions inspire emotional freedom, physical renewal, and spiritual awakening, guiding others toward harmony, clarity, and higher consciousness. Ken’s website is Kenlloydofficial.com.

What happens when your body’s alarm system rings too often to trust?
In this episode of TAB Mindfulness Conversations, we travel to Pituitary Town — home to Hypothalamus Maximus, a boy with one job: watch for danger and ring the bell. When a real wolf shows up, his alarm works exactly as it should. But when shadows, strange noises, and midnight branch-scrapes start ringing that same bell, the whole town starts to wear down… right up until a real wolf returns, and nobody’s sure they can trust the alarm anymore.
Inspired by The Boy Who Cried Wolf and grounded in real neuroscience, this episode brings cortisol, the HPA stress axis, and the vagus nerve to life through story — no textbook required. Along the way, kids meet the Cortisol Drones, the Gut Bac Tower, and the Village Elder, who teaches Max (and your listener) a simple breathing tool to calm a racing alarm system in real time.
By the end, kids won’t just know what cortisol is — they’ll have a tool they can use the next time their own alarm bell rings.
In this episode:
- How the body’s real stress response works (and why it’s not the enemy)
- What happens when the alarm rings too often
- A guided breathing exercise kids can use anywhere, anytime
Best for grades 4–9. Screen-free and ready to listen anywhere — the car, the classroom, or curled up at home.

In this episode, Bart Zandbergen: True Wealth Defined — Faith, Fitness, Family & a Life of Purpose, I sit down with entrepreneur, Certified Financial Planner™, author, sommelier, grandfather, and founder of The Zandbergen Group, Bart Zandbergen.
For more than three decades, Bart has helped individuals and families build financial success. Yet his greatest passion is helping people understand that true wealth extends far beyond money. Through his eight pillars of True Wealth — Health, Family & Friends, Faith, Legacy, Peace, Philanthropy, Finance, and the Invisible — Bart has built a life grounded in purpose, intention, and fulfillment.
You’ll hear:
- How being bullied as a child shaped his lifelong commitment to health, fitness, and personal growth.
- The movie Rocky played a surprising role in helping him develop confidence, resilience, and determination.
- Why faith remains his North Star and the foundation upon which he makes life’s biggest decisions.
- What it takes to become a certified sommelier and the discipline required to master a craft.
- The inspiration behind his new book, True Wealth Defined, and why success without fulfillment is never enough.
- How his eight pillars of True Wealth can help anyone create a richer life, regardless of their bank account.
Bart’s story is a powerful reminder that wealth is not merely measured by what you accumulate. It’s measured by your health, your relationships, your faith, your impact, and the legacy you leave behind. Because at the end of the day, a truly wealthy life is one that feels as rich on the inside as it appears on the outside.

If today’s conversation resonated with you, I’d like to leave you with a question: You’ve spent years building your life…
But have you spent equal time designing it?
Many of the people I work with are successful by every traditional measure. They’ve built careers, businesses, families, and accomplishments they’re proud of.
Yet quietly, they sense there’s more available.
More joy. More connection. More beauty. More meaning. More aliveness.
If that’s you, perhaps it’s time to stop asking, “What’s next?” and start asking, “What would make this extraordinary?”
My private Exquisitely Aligned VIP Day was created for people who are ready to move beyond simply functioning and begin intentionally creating a life that feels as rich on the inside as it appears on the outside.
Because true wealth isn’t just what you accumulate. It’s how fully you live.

Friday Kahlo, who was she? What can we say?
She stood for … a woman of substance
An opening for women’s lib and/or to be free
… at last, free from pain-dying without fame
… coming to life after death despite
… not her wish
… she never wanted to come back
… she immortal, with her art pin 2her heart
Woman are rarely taken seriously
Let’s look at Dr. Rosalind Franklin …
The true champion and discoverer of the
DNA double helix …
Who took all this glory?
Two men James Watson & Francis Crick
Grabbed all the knowledge … with heights
Data from Rosalind in 1953 credits stolen
Like a chitter running fast with her brain cells
All cheaters and murderer of her name …
We know today, the true champion and hero
A woman with a name Rosalind Franklin
… a brillant scientist and doctorate
… of her time, ahead of times!
Dr.Franklin of X-Ray refraction
With photo-51 … lets credit her
As demonstrated the double-helix structure
The DNA: Deoxyribonucleic-Acid
The dynamic molecules …
For which all genetic info/instruction takes place
Involved in all steps …
Of the development of cells, and all living cells
2strong women, Frida Kahlo & Dr. Franklin
Two minds, sadly buried without a name nor Fame they rose from the dead … the dead sea
Gave and saw them rise, reasons are alive
Today in full prints … I had to pause!
Let’s try to answer and give a salute to Frida!
She was a Mexican artist … dying July 13, 1954
At Casa Azul in Coyoacun, Mexico
Like Jesus, she suffered greatly!
Contracted polio at 10, accident at 18
Left with increase pain & immobilized
Way 2survive to seek the art or become an MD?
We’re in her head to escape dumbness
… elevate with fresh brain cells pin 2her torso
Through excruciating pains, she endured!
She pushed on …
Seeking life’s free from pain
She meet husband Diego Rivera, an artist
… some called him fatso, El Gordo
… to her it was love
… Does appearance matters? Not to her!
He took her on …
She sought his advice for the arts
Instead, a husband she grabbed
She didn’t get left back by his tricks
She moved on, childless …
With multiple of miscarriages
Was motherhood in the cards?
Not for her …
She hated his infidelities …
She loved his passion for the arts
She pure art … pain, pin to her heart left floored
She left self portraits of herself never 2die
A self-described painter
Saw pain as her new art
Portraying herself the focus of art
In her paintings … she left her heart dark black
On the floor…
Was it art or pain?
Was it herself in her head
Or the head of her imagination?
It was a desperate need to release her pains
… as she forgot how to breath
… taken less and less breaths
She divided between the seeks of …
A painter or MD, this reason she left
Her heart on the floor paintings of self portraits
… painting “The Heart, 1937”
Why is great works are rarely discovered?
After an artist dies? Well, they never die
… as they blossom, with full life Frida proclaimed I’ll never come back gone free from pains …
Her last passage “Viva la vida”, Long Live Life
“Long live, life!”
How sad …
For an artist
To die … Thinking she not an artist!
Never a mother, a wife husband a dirt bag
Unfaithful, a loser, a cheater …
She still loved him, til the end prefer death
Looking back at Rosalind
With photo-51 …
Proved the evidence needed
It was mathematical measures
Lead super scientists …
To direct, construct and trust
The development of the DNA model
To be exact that today we celebrate science
A new era of molecular match …
The spiral stairs to walk up in the air
To all the advances of science …
We credit Rosalind Francis not 2men or 3 men
Her Alma mater, London at King’s College
Her assistant, Raymond Gosling
Captured high resolution of the DNA
Thru X-ray-crystallography… in 1953 of a date
The credit went to 2false men or three
1952 image of “X” shape twisted DNA = helix
Yea, twisted DNA double (=) helix
1953 as Watson & Crick’s utilized data
Provided by Maurice Wilkins of Photo-51
… Unpublished calculations
… at Cambridge University
… published 1953 in Nature journal
At the end, Franklin’s
Own conclusions
Set prints …
In April 1953
Why is it … Watson & Crick
Gets all the credit?
Man of yesterdays’ and still today
In their head’s can still claim
“Women, belong in the kitchen!”
Thinking, women have no brain cells
As they go to bed empty-handed, no brain cells
They wake up with their wife’s cells …
Thief in the night they?
Women of science …
Before you go to bed, ware a solid helmet
Protect your brain cells … do not give it away
To false men!
It is yours! How to prove it?
Do not open your mouth …
Keep it shout, this way no flies enters in
Your defense are in your head to defend
Where did credit go to?
To a woman of integrity and increase knowledge
But, to 3 men instead:
James Watson, Francis Crick & Maurice Wilkins
In the area of:
Physiology and Medicine
The Noble Prize …? Yes!
The highest merit in science
With this prize these men pursuits their claims
With updates as genetic info strive
Flowing info from …
DNA to RNA to proteins
The twisted helix, a ladder: phosphate-sugar, its backbone outside . As complimentary nucleotide base pairs center: A-T (Adenine-Thymine) & G-C (Guanine-Cytosine) caught the eyes of futuristic
… we now know of today true meaning
… that is science!
What does Frida Kahlo & Rosalind Franklin
Have in common?
Their work as timed were both stolen
Either by time and/or by cruel men!
… Do you agree and/or disagree?
Women of today … Wake up!
Do not let your work be stolen by cruel men
Let yourself get credit …
This way, science is on your side!

What began as one man’s search for answers became a trilogy about the journey of the human soul. Along the way, Sergiy Adamenko discovered that the story he was writing was changing him, too.
SERGIY – “Since my childhood, I’ve been asking for answers to questions about life, destiny, human nature, the meaning of our existence.”
SAM – Some books entertain us. Others teach us something new. And then there are books that simply invite us to stop… and think.
Author Sergiy Adamenko has spent much of his life asking some of humanity’s oldest questions. Questions about life, destiny, and the choices that shape who we become. Those questions inspired his latest novel, The Step of the Wolf.
Curaed Chapter Theme song
Part historical novel and part spiritual journey, The Step of the Wolf is the final book in a trilogy following one soul through many different lives. Every lifetime presents another challenge. Every challenge teaches another lesson. Together, those lives explore love, sacrifice, faith, destiny, and the choices that shape who we become.
SERGIY – My motivation for writing this book was deeply personal. Since my childhood, I’ve been asking for answers to questions about life, destiny, human nature, the meaning of our existence. Writing became a way for me to explore these questions, not only for myself, but also together with my readers. In the story, I wanted to travel into the past, better understand the present, and perhaps inspire people to think more carefully about the future they are creating through their choices today. So for me, Step of the Wolf is more than just a novel. It’s a meditation to reflect on who we are, where we came from, and what kind of legacy we want to leave behind.”
SAM – The trilogy is told through a series of interconnected stories. One of the first introduces a Viking warrior. During a raid, he captures a young woman as a prisoner. But instead of treating her as an enemy, he falls in love with her. When three warriors from his own tribe threaten her, he kills them to protect her.
Forced to flee, the couple builds a new life together. One day he rescues an injured she-wolf, nurses her back to health, and the wolf becomes both companion and protector. Years later, when his past finally catches up with him, the wolf stands beside him in one final battle. It’s just one chapter… one lifetime… in a story that spans nearly a thousand years.
SERGIY – The novel explores the soul’s journey toward God through a series of reincarnations. Throughout these different lives, the soul experiences existence from many perspectives. It’s about not only different human beings, but also a tree or a wolf.”
SAM – As the soul moves through different lives, familiar connections begin to appear. That leads Sergiy to ask some intriguing questions.
SERGIY- Why do we sometimes dream about places we have never visited? Why do we occasionally see the face of a complete stranger and feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity? Why do certain moments feel as though we have already lived them before? We call these experiences like déjà vu, coincidences, or simple tricks of imagination. But what if there is something more?… The Step of the Wolf doesn’t try to provide all the questions, but invites readers to explore more mysteries and draw their own conclusions.”
SAM – Those questions didn’t appear out of nowhere.
Long before Sergiy began writing this trilogy, life had already given him difficult questions of his own to answer. After his hometown in Ukraine was occupied by Russian forces, he returned to serve in a volunteer battalion. When he came back to Ireland, those experiences became the foundation for his first book, The Heroes of Modernity.
SERGIY – My own town was occupied by Russians in 2014… I started to help our army from the beginning of the war… In 2017 I decided to join… When I came back to Ireland, I decided to write about those people whom I met in trenches… The Heroes of Modernity was about the people who are still alive. We have to pay tribute to them, and we have to thank them for what they do.”
(Trim this to the cleanest portion.)
SAM – That first book honored the people Sergiy met on the battlefield.
The trilogy that followed explores a different kind of journey. Not across countries… but across centuries.
And rather than telling readers what to believe, Sergiy simply asks them to think.
SERGIY – The longer I thought the truth, the more I came to understand how multifaceted and complex the truth is. These books were never intended to teach or preach. For me, they become a journey through history, memories, dreams, and the human soul itself.”
SAM – Whether you read The Step of the Wolf as historical fiction, a spiritual journey, or simply an adventure spanning centuries, it’s ultimately a story about people… the choices they make… and the lessons they learn along the way.
Sergiy hopes readers close the book asking a few questions of their own.
SERGIY – I don’t know what answers each reader will find, but I sincerely hope that by the time they turn the final page, they will see the world a little differently than they did when they started this journey.”
SAM – If that sounds like an interesting read, the book is The Step of the Wolf by Sergiy Adamenko, available now wherever books are sold. Thank you, Sergiy, for sharing your story… and thank you for listening.

Would you recognize the early warning signs of burnout in yourself? Do you know what burnout feels like? Are you feeling overwhelmed, trying harder but feeling further and further behind? Stop, step back, and take a look. That’s what this episode is all about, unpacking how to recognize burnout and developing your personal burnout prevention plan. Join me and my guest Pippa Simou, a coaching psychologist in the UK, as we walk you through how to create your very own.
Here’s a look at our video chat:

Starting with 10 domains of life, of being alive as a human being, we talk about what they are, how to look at your life through these lenses, and how to use that to live without struggling through each day, , aware of how to replenish your energy over the day, and living as a human being, not a human doing. Join us! Listen, and learn!
Pippa Simou has earned the status of Chartered Coaching Psychologist through the British psychological society. She has a growing reputation as a go-to source for women and girls about all things ADHD (though her work extends to all genders as well) She is passionate about raising awareness of the nature of ADHD and its impact on individuals in their personal lives, in education, family life, relationships, and in the workplace.

We are continuing the summer series. During this episode we will explore a deep dive into how your gut and your brain are in a constant conversation.
Right now, deep inside your body, a powerful two-way highway called the vagus nerve is carrying messages back and forth between your gut and your brain — and what you eat determines everything about what those messages say.
Here’s what that means for your child:
When kids eat fiber-rich, whole foods that nourish healthy gut bacteria, their bodies become more receptive to the calming effects of mindfulness and breathing practice. And when they practice slow, intentional breathing — especially those long, extended exhales — their cortisol levels drop. That’s the same stress hormone that junk food spikes.
It’s all connected.
In this episode we explore the gut-brain axis — one of the most exciting discoveries in children’s wellness research — and what 2024 science is telling us about the relationship between food, stress, and emotional health. We’ll talk about why teaching kids to recognize the stress-junk food spiral is more powerful than any diet rule or willpower pep talk. And we’ll show you how mindfulness practice and smart food choices work together — each one making the other more effective.
Because here’s the truth that changes everything:
- Just as food shapes mood — mindfulness shapes the gut. A calmer child is building a healthier microbiome. A healthier microbiome is building a calmer child.
When we teach children to care for their gut, we are teaching them to care for their brain, their emotions, and their own capacity for self-awareness.
That’s not just nutrition. That’s the foundation of lifelong wellness.

One of the problems with working with even very good psychic mediums is that you have to be open-minded about the process in order to have a good reading, even with the most talented of mediums. But there are in fact some excellent and very talented genuine psychic mediums! And one of them is our guest again today on Seek Reality. Carolyn Molnar is with us on Seek Reality again for the eighth time. Carolyn is a very good psychic medium who is based in Toronto, Canada. She has more than thirty years’ experience in this field, and she has a list of faithful clients that is by now worldwide. She also teaches classes on mediumship and psychic development, and she has led workshops across Canada, and also at Lily Dale, New York. She was featured a while back on VICE TV’s television series, “Mr Tachyon” (TACK-EE-ON), which was called, Do Humans Have A 6th Sense?
Carolyn Molnar is highlighted in the books Psychics and Mediums in Canada, and Medium 7: Evidence of The Afterlife and Predictions. She has been profiled in at least three national Canadian newspapers, The Toronto Star, The National Post, and The Globe & Mail. She also wrote, produced, and directed a one-woman play called, “What?! You’re A Medium?” at the 2016 Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival. And readers of The North York Mirror newspaper voted her their “Favourite Psychic” two years in a row.
Carolyn has written two books and released some guided meditation CD’s as well. It is all detailed and available on her website, which is conveniently called carolynmolnar.com.

Look at the babe’s eyes …
Are the mirrors of your soul’s
Can you turn your baby brown eyes blue?
Does God owes you?
There’s a procedure called keratopigmentation
(Kera-to-pigmentation) spreading like wild fires worldwide… Let’s credit French ophthalmologist
Who discovered the New Eyes Paris clinic
… Came to full life
His name? Dr.Francis Ferrari
A cosmetic procedure …
Called “Femtosecond Laser Assisted Annular
Keratopigmenation” and/or FLAAK …
Let’s further elaborate
What’s involved here?
Info: The color of the eyes determined by the iris
This will remain the same …
The color of the iris stays
It will be hide … How?
By coloring the space in front of the cornea
Think of it like the contact eyes
Utilizing a laser …
Creating a circular incision
Through which, will inject the color
These are the colors most wished
A transition from dark color
To a range of these:
Dark to light shades
If pigmentation that …
In popularity not singularity
To an olive green, pistachio, Riviera blue
Honey gold and ocean blue …
What color next? Aliens big eyes?
Let’s focus on the Lord …
The “Eyes of God”-
Represents omniscience
Constant watchfulness
Delicate amazement
Of our Lord creations’
As it sees all things
As his pursuit to protect those dearly devoted
… to Him and only Him
He, a jealous God
Do not worship idols
He expects Him, the only true King
As He sees all humans illuminated
With His daily perfume …
It’s through His symbol and oath
He seeks and reach His pursuits not in a suit
He reaches the surfaces
With His incredible heights
He sees and sends regards
In actions and motives …
Where’s the eyes of God?
God is flesh …
God is invisible and visible
He owns every single one of us
We’re His possessions …
He reacts when you behave not nice
He prefers to spank every time one goes mad
Unless you diagnosed schizophrenia…
Because, our God is in full in spirit …
The words “Eyes” are to be made whole
It is considered “Anthro-pomor-prisms
Theoretically and clearly … we are God’s
… possessions and His imperfections
He still loves us …
Be good never bad
Trust Him never a sneak
Don’t get even but, pray
He protect us …
He never hates us
He, life never death
Why then we died?
Because, through His love
He takes us to a better place
If you been good …
If ever bad, you got to cry from your heart “red”
… Tears, never black
… Is red, pink dark blue inside like the cornea
… Of your eyes
Going back to the eyes of God
The “Helix Nebula”
A dying star …
Never a dying galaxy
As Astronomers comes to full life
As they learn to describe “NGC 1232”
What is NGC 1232?
A spiraling galaxy and/or The Eyes of God!
It is 650 light years away …
In the constellation Aquarius
It is the closest Helix Nebula closes to Earth
It reflects and resembles a gigantic eye
It is the death of sun-like star
It is a star … Slowly dying
As never awakes-now gone mad
and death, enters in …
Shedding off a dying red eye’s
As it bursts its outer layers
Of enormous gas into space
Becoming hot and hotter
… all its core
… All compressed in it
… All remains a mess
As s a giant white dwarf
Go ahead …
Go for it …
Grab a telescope
What you see but, a giant Helix Nebula
It’s the beauty of the sun
To give us light …
For our eyes to captured 15 minutes
Of the splendors of the sun …
Go ahead …
Mourn the morning, the burning away
The Helix Nebula also called “Eye of Sauron”
This Eye, is it really God in it?
… As He cried shedding gas and clouds
… For all to see, indeed He’s God

What is nutrition? Is the science of good eating
The impacts of eating healthy … our body, how
Our human bodily system acts and interacts
On life’s stability to nutrients …
Without good food, we are doomed …
Nutrition is food to the tummy as yummy
Nutrition, what would Neal say?
“I prefer my girlfriend … is what Neal would say
… with the utmost respect, healthy she is!”
When I see her … I don’t eat!
Is her that I tend to think
She feeds me with all her love
We sustained each other with endless love
We do eat and keep things nice and neat …
We eat meat, the proteins, drink milk for strong bones, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, salads
Vegetables, fibers, vitamins, and plenty of water
… with an increase sleep and exercises
With in intake macronutrients
Large amounts of….
With the next of micronutrients
Small amounts …
Is all, I’ll ever need because, together we cared
Who is she? She is Tori not from the Bronx
Birthday of June 3, a Island girl and super
I wished, I would take her to my prom
… Is what Neal would say
I love her so much
I respect her …
For all, she is …
She means the world to me and more than that!
… Is what Neal, would say!!
If you ever ask me “Why, I feel like this?”
Is what Neal, would state
Is because, she makes me complete
I’ve felt her cries in and out … and I’ve died
Is her love … That wakes me up
When she suffers, I suffer too
… It’s us dying together than, we wake up
We become anew and newly loved
I would die for her, this is what Neal would say
She dies too … for me, this I know
We will always love each other …
We the perfect couple but, don’t tell her dad
What would Neal say? If you ask him?
I think, he’ll take Tori in his arms
There would never be no harm
He would never let her go!
“At times, I want to kill those who’ve hurted her
Is what Neal, would say!
I know, I would take endless blows
I would go to jail if I have too
She my nutrients that I need
… Is what Neal, would state
Is for her that I live
TIL the day I die
In my coffin
I need her love
I will always love her
I am Neal, her love
She the nutrients of my heart
She owns my heart …
I live for her
I die for her
She and I,
We’re one
To the very end of time
I’ll have her in my heart
I’ve pinned her in my heart and soul
She die with me ….
She will always have my heart”
I write these prints …
For my favorite great nice and her love Neal
Both are dear to me …
They’ll always be in my heart
I know, their love …
Will carry them afar …
Together they never depart their heart’s= 1
Their love have grown like the Pacific Ocean
They’ve stood the test of time
They’ve each other’s back
I forgot, they already have …
Now, should be easy sailing
I shall always love-’em … They’re pin to my heart
Tori, Neal and my sweetheart, my son, my
daughter-in-law and my new baby to come,
My grand child …. We all family and always will!

In this episode, Ivy Krueger: Write Your Story Well — Leadership, Service & Seeing the World Differently, I sit down with Ivy Krueger, a former Special Operations leader who spent two decades serving in some of the world’s most demanding environments. Today, she serves as Chief Operating Officer and part owner of McTavish Spirits, bringing her experience in leadership, strategy, and human behavior into building a modern whiskey brand.
You’ll hear:
- How her grandfather opened her eyes to the world through National Geographic magazines and encyclopedias, sparking a lifelong curiosity about people, places, and cultures.
- Why joining the military at nineteen changed the trajectory of her life — and how the events of 9/11 shaped her perspective forever.
- What twenty years in Special Operations taught her about leadership, resilience, communication, and human nature.
- The powerful lesson behind the “Three Cups of Tea” invitation and what it reveals about trust, relationships, and cultural understanding.
- Why observation is one of the most valuable skills we can develop in life and business.
- How an unexpected interest during COVID led her to discover the world of bourbon and whiskey through social media communities.
- The quote that stopped me in my tracks: “You have one life to live. You get to write and tell the entire story. And if you write it well, others will tell it for you for years to come.”
Ivy’s story is a reminder that a meaningful life isn’t built by accident. It’s built through curiosity, courage, service, and the willingness to become the intentional author of your own story.
How to Connect with Ivy Krueger:
McTavish Spirits is available online and through select retailers and distributors across the United States. To explore the collection, upcoming releases, and behind-the-scenes content, visit McTavishSpirits.com and follow @McTavishSpirits on Instagram, Threads, X, and Facebook.
You have one life.
Ivy reminded us that we each get to write our own story.
My question for you is this: Are you writing a story of merely functioning… or truly living?
If you’ve achieved success but quietly sense there’s another chapter waiting to be written, perhaps this is your invitation.
An invitation to stop postponing what matters most. To stop settling for a life that looks good and start creating one that feels extraordinary.
If you’re ready for that conversation, I invite you to explore an Exquisitely Aligned VIP Day at ExquisitelyAligned.com.

Yes, last week Democratic primaries in New York have shifted America’s thinking on who controls the Democratic Party. It used to be that the progressive/liberals would play footsies with the socialists knowing that they just wanted to appease the socialists enough to win elections. But now, oh my stars, the socialists are defeating the liberals in the Democratic Party primaries. As we celebrate 250 years of freedom, Doc Holliday looks into what is happening right now in the Democratic Party. Click on for a great show now!

The Big Switch: Varney and Cedric
This latest narrative From Lynn Salughter is dynamically told over forty-five engrossing chapters. The book is split into two parts with the first part being considerably shorter than the second. There are two main protagonists to this story Varney and Cedric. Varney has been diagnosed with V.A.D. Vampire Adjustment Disorder, he hates the taste of blood and longs to be a human boy who can go to school and play basketball during the day. Cedric on the other hand is extremely unhappy as a human and fears that he’s turning into his bully of a father, something he dearly wishes he could control and avoid. For Cedric a vampire’s powers have long interested him and the thought of becoming a vampire would be beyond his wildest dream. Camilla, a friendly witch gives Varney and Cedric the opportunity to switch places on a temporary basis, this golden opportunity is a moment not to be missed for both, but should they reveal this brief transformation to anyone, the reversal will end with immediate effect. A trial period of thirty days has been set, after that if they like their new personas, the switch will be made permanent.

If you enjoyed Lynn’s book Missed Cue and the complex character homicide detective Caitlin O Connor, then you are going to enjoy this latest book as Caitlin grapples with the murder of two young budding footballers. Who Killed Elijah Williams a young black African American boy and Joey Mateo a white teenager whose bodies were found in a compromising position in the end zone of their high school’s football field. The story is interwoven with homosexuality, sibling squabbling; if these two aspects weren’t enough for Caitlin’s homicide team to deal with, throw in religious viewpoints, alcoholism and a whole host of complex matters especially Caitlin’s new man on the block. The cauldron around this contentious homicide case is well and truly coming to the boil. If Caitlin cannot get to the bottom of who’s behind these murders, she’ll be off the case and her reputation as a serious homicide detective will be severely damaged. She can kiss any chance of a career move goodbye. But maybe, just maybe romance could be on the upswing for her, feeling all maternal, hmm…

Missing Mom
Sixty-two short, sharp, focused and intense chapters is what you can expect from Lynn Slaughter in this page-turning book of hers. It’s a book that’s cleverly telling two stories from different time periods that have a connection.
Noelle is a seventeen-year-old aspiring ballet dancer who has serious doubts as to her mother’s disappearance, was it suicide or something more sinister. What her investigation throws up, you’ll find absorbing, plus what of her romantic entanglement with Ravi another dancer will leave you guessing.
Savannah’s story running alongside that of Noelle’s is equally fascinating, she’s a young woman from twenty years ago, her escape from an abusive marriage has close interrelatedness with Noelle’s investigation into her mother’s circumstances.
The two stories running parallel with each other blend smartly together to bring about an interesting overall narrative. Well done, Lynn!

Forty-five spine-tingling chapters of crime and mystery are exposed in this book as Lynn Slaughter takes you on an intriguing journey of what happened to the ballerina Lydia Miseau whose death on stage in the final dress rehearsal of Romeo and Juliet leaves many open-ended questions, questions homicide detective Catlin O Connor needs to answer. The autopsy report reveals no apparent cause of death, so Caitlin must not only ferret out who may have harmed the ballerina, but how they did it. Her investigations lead her to believe that the person responsible, as in most murder cases, is close at hand but getting the evidence to support her theories is proving a little tricky, especially when you consider Lydia’s messed up personal life particularly when it comes to her dalliances come affairs with married men, which never bode well for all concerned.

Thank you, Lynn, for giving me the wonderful opportunity of interviewing you again about two more of your amazing books. I wish you all the best with them.
The Author & The Book.
Janet Dunne lives in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland; she’s a woman who has lived with bipolar disorder for some considerable time. Bipolar disorder is a lifelong mental health condition that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration. The characteristics of the disorder are intense emotional highs which come with irritable moods, little sleep, racing thoughts, rapid speech, impulsivity, and a distorted sense of grandiosity to manic depressions that leave a person with deep sadness, hopelessness, lack of energy, loss of interest in activities and potentially suicidal thoughts. Like most disorders there are several types to bipolarism all depending on how severe the ups and downs are. Yes medication, talking therapies and lifestyle adjustments play vital roles in keeping symptoms stable, but at the end of the day this is a life long mental health issue. Janet’s book talks about her many experiences, good, bad and indifferent from childhood to current day. What Janet hopes to achieve with this book is for those living with bipolarism to see Janet’s perspective on bipolar disorder and how she has confronted many of her inner demons so to speak. On the other hand, those of us fortunate enough not to be living with a mental disorder of this nature, Janet’s wish by writing this book is that you get an inkling as to what it must be like for someone who has bipolar disorder and maybe adopt a more sympathetic approach when they are going through a rough patch. Both the book and Janet’s own life have many humorous antidotes and tales that are cleverly entwined in the storyline.
A very insightful book as far as I’m concerned go check it out.

Record numbers of people travel globally today, thanks to automobiles, high-speed trains, fast ships, and the jet age. Knowledge has exploded, and the information age makes it easy to access information. Yet, this is the most scripturally ignorant generation in American history. Many young people in jails and prisons have never attended church, read the Bible, or heard the Gospel message about Jesus Christ.
The books of Daniel and Revelation are now being understood because we are in the time of the end, and the Holy Spirit is revealing their meanings.
Author Alan E. Gattis invites readers to discover the Holy Spirit’s revelations for believers in these end-times. He shares anecdotes about his spiritual journey, God’s meanings for constellations, events, characters in the Gospel story, passages, and numbers in scripture. He also provides guidance on growing in a relationship with God, learning about spiritual warfare, and more. A valuable Bible study outline is included.
Revelation Signs is an in-depth Holy Spirit interpretation of the signs and passages from one of the least understood books in the Bible.

The Author
Col. Charles Cone, USAF(Retired) of Farrington Hills, Michigan has led a life of service having reached a glorious century and not out, on the 5th of January this year. He entered the US Navy on the 22nd of February 1944 and having decided that career path was not for him, he transferred to the Air Force and was soon called up for duty for the Korean War. In 2006 he received the prestigious Master Pilot Award from the FAA for fifty years of accident/incident free flying, though at times some flights came perilously close to denying him that achievement. Col. Cone in addition to the pilot award has numerous military awards to his name including two Legion of Merits, an Air Medal and Presidential Unit Citation. Besides his military honours Col. Cone achieved a BSc from Ohio State University and a MSc in computer Science from Texas A&M University.
Here is a look at our video chat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0dNL1gQbmcIn addition to his accomplishments as a decorated officer, Col. Cone has built a legacy of community service, including flying patients across America for medical procedures through Angel Flights. Col. Cone has also served as an officer of the Lions’ Clubs International and various Masonic organisations along with countless hours of supporting his local church. Adding to this illustrious list we must mention his work for the Penrickton Centre for Blind Children, the Greater Detroit Society for the Blind, The Salvation Army and Operation Able. Col. Cone is a proud recipient of the Spirit of Detroit Award and numerous international, national and local Lions’ Club honours. Col. Cone’s most recent accomplishment is the completion of his published memoirs. So, as you can see Col. Cone is quite a distinguished guest and I’m led to believe he was offered a post of General but having spoken to his wife Jo of sixty-nine years who has now sadly passed he turned that position down. At the age of 100 is he still flying his beloved, most definitely.
The Book
This outstanding book is an autobiography of Colonel Charles Cone’s own remarkable life from humble beginnings in a farmhouse in the town of Covington, Wyoming County, New York State to the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Air Force. The story highlights the pivotal points in his life both personally and professionally. Col. Cone’s life is expertly told with pinpoint accuracy over fifty-one exhilarating chapters. The adventures of where life took him are to say at least fascinating to completely absorbing, although at times hair-raising and not without risk, all loving backed up by his amazing wife Jo of sixty-nine years. The book reflects on a life configured around duty, service and resolute principles, incorporating the battle fields of Korea and Vietnam to boardrooms, church pews and community halls of post war America. This book is not just a memoir of his life; it’s a legacy and testament to who he is and the principles that he adopted over a hundred years.
Enjoy this amazing Book about this astonishing life!!!

Our guest today is our special friend, Dr. R. Craig Hogan, who is with us for an amazing fifty-third time in our thirteen years of having these weekly Seek Reality podcast conversations. Our very first Seek Reality interview was with Craig, thirteen years ago this month, and he has been our guest again about four times each year ever since. So, that would make it about fifty-three times, which is just about right! Craig and Roberta have been working together smoothly, too, for all that time. They first met in 2008, when Craig Hogan’s wonderful book, Your Eternal Self, was published. Then, for a while, they would put on four-day annual afterlife events in Arizona, which were fun to do, but they took a tremendous amount of work and planning for what was maybe four or five hundred attendees each time. Eventually, Craig and Roberta turned those events into Seek Reality.com, which is a fantastic educational website that Craig now runs, and Roberta’s weekly podcast, and also her weekly blog post, which goes out to almost five thousand people now, all over the world. Our wonderful friend Craig Hogan is by now the world’s leading expert on the afterlife, and on what happens when we die. Craig is the president of both the Afterlife Research and Education Institute, or AREI, and Seek Reality Online, which is Seek Reality Inc. The latter is the greatest collection of genuine evidence about death and the afterlife that’s available anywhere on the internet. Together, AREI and Seek Reality Online produce a terrific monthly newsletter that is full of beautiful, in-depth evidence. Craig’s websites are seekreality.com and afterlifeinstitute.org.

What if the most powerful mindfulness practice you could do today was already waiting for you — right in your kitchen?
In this episode, we’re taking everything we’ve explored together — the calming power of intentional breathing and the art of truly tasting our food — and bringing it all home, literally. Because mindfulness doesn’t live at the spa or on the beach. It lives in the smell of something baking, the cool smoothness of dough between your fingers, and the colors of ingredients laid out on your counter.
We’re diving into kitchen-based sensory mindfulness — a gentle, flexible practice that invites you to use touch, smell, and sight as anchors to the present moment. You’ll discover how everyday tasks like cooking, baking, or even just pressing and pulling dough can become opportunities to slow down, tune in, and feel grounded.
We’ll also talk about something important: your senses aren’t just for calm — they’re also your body’s built-in warning system. Learning to listen to them mindfully means knowing when something feels off and having the wisdom to seek support.
Whether you’re cooking solo, kneading dough with your kids, or just standing in your kitchen wondering what’s for dinner — this episode meets you right where you are.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- How sensory awareness builds naturally on mindful breathing and mindful eating
- Using touch, smell, and sight as doorways into the present moment
- How the feel of dough connects us to memory, emotion, and the present
- Practical ways to bring mindfulness into cooking, baking, and everyday kitchen tasks
- Why your senses are also a powerful tool for body awareness and safety
No perfect setting required. No pressure to do it “right.” Just you, your hands, and a little curiosity.
This is part of an ongoing mindfulness series. If you haven’t already, check out our episodes on mindful breathing and mindful eating — together, they form a beautiful foundation for the sensory practice we’re building today.

What is “Dark Matter”?
Does it matter to define it?
Does water plays any part in it?
Does it fall apart, as it moves afar and/or far?
Dark matter by definition?
It’s the state and/or what holds all galaxies intact and/or together! We don’t know much!
Think of it like crazy glue that you had broken a piece of an object to secure, is what you …
… not a piece of tape
… but, that that holds infinity
… like a metal hat not paper works
… paper falls apart unlike metal
… opposite attracts like + and –
… think of it as God (hole), holding the galaxy
Its a giant and massive black hole at the center of a galaxy … it can’t be control with enormous E
Planets are held together by gravitational pulls
And/or gravity if not, planets would run like
… a schizophrenic energy (E)
… all out of control
… where you can’t control
… no meds can bring you back
… it’s runs like car without a break
It’s gravity that hold planets together …
If you take a look at a galaxy like our
Milky Way galaxy and Milky Way candy
You can’t cut a hole at the center, spins it
All inside is a forceful hole …
As you eat, you embedded and taken
For a full spin .,,
Yea, for a full spin
You trapped and can’t get out to enjoy it
You unwrapped …
At the center of all galaxies
A giant black hole exists …
As galaxy are held together by dark matter
Does it matter to understand this matter?
Dark matter hold the planets in space …
Dark matter drags the planet into its shape
Is not singularity but, an unknown force
Grabbing all in it …
It brings and carry planets into a galaxy
Without a black hole, planets wouldn’t exists
Nor galaxy needing each other to be …
… like you needing a mom and dad
A black hole is the darkest force …
Is the most powerful E, ever known
Is darker matter more than evil?
Is dark matter … More evil, than the devil?
… Is it the devil trapping all its dark matter?
Perhaps! I think no because,
Is the power of God … Holding us together
Is God the black whole?
He’d that finger and figure in-charge of dark E
Does it matter to describe as it pulls?
It’s an entry of a force …
Eating away all the lights -light years away?
It’s total darkness and most powerful of all E
I leave you to think!
I leave you with the powers of science
I leave you with the puzzled minds …
That grabs and takes E to reach to the top
Is science …
Is pure science
Is the best science
Is God in it …
God:
… is science
… and, He is
… Superiority
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet

https://www.amazon.com/One-Foot-Right-Direction-Bipolar-ebook/dp/B0DJSCD8L5/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CgmART3y4swJKIDFErt1zg.7Iu1A4uNIs6ZADaYuOPWuzHY4dZI2RWk1b4VMOv7AAU&dib_tag=se&keywords=9798823090087&qid=1777089874&sr=8-1
Robert Browne – Stop and think about what you are and who you are through the decisions that you make.
Sam: One of the hardest things we can do is to look in the mirror and say, who are you? And then know the answer. Today’s show is about personal growth. Take a look at your business card or your job title, the role you play in your family, and the things others say about you and get ready to look beneath all that.
Theme: The Curated Chapter
Sam: Knowing who you are is easy for some people but not everyone. It’ s a difficult question to answer. We spend our lives making decisions, building relationships, and pursuing goals, but we don’t always take the time to consider what those choices say about us.
Robert Browne believes that understanding ourselves is one of life’s most important journeys. He just wrote a book about it. It’s called Understanding U. The title is simple, but it carries a powerful message — before we can strengthen our relationships, grow as individuals, or live with greater purpose, we first need to understand who we are — this was his path.
Robert – I wanted to find a place where I was at peace with what I felt about my decision to move on with my life. And at the time, I was seriously thinking about entering into another relationship, which could have ended into a marriage with a woman that, although was very attractive, I later came to discover was not the right person for me. My brother really helped me to realign my thinking with who and what I am right now, and to come to grips with myself as an individual, reset myself emotionally and mentally, and use my energies and my time in such a way so I can discover who I am through things that I would now do, such as getting out traveling. Connecting with other people, forming business partnerships in the fitness industry, nonprofit work. All of those things helped me to focus on giving instead of getting, and in the process, I really came to discover who I am as a person, a person who wants to enjoy giving back to those who gave to me through the community, through my affiliations, with my close friends, and with my business partners. They all helped me to understand better who I am as a person moving forward.
Sam: For Robert, self-discovery wasn’t simply an exercise in reflection. It changed the direction of his life. As he focused on giving back, building relationships, and contributing to his community, he found something many people spend a lifetime searching for: a deeper sense of purpose.
Robert – So once I started to really feel the joy that came from giving back and not focusing on the negative experience of having to lose out on the relationship or lose it, I gained something far better, a deeper sense of purpose and meaning with my life as an individual. And that’s what really inspired me to write the book.
Sam: Understanding U is built around the idea that the better we understand ourselves, the better equipped we are to grow as individuals and strengthen our relationships.
Throughout the book, Robert invites readers to look beneath appearances and examine the thoughts, intentions, and values that guide their actions. Through short reflections on topics like grief, compassion, and assumptions he encourages readers to take a closer look at the person they are becoming.
Robert – The one thing I want them to take away is to understand who they are today. Stop and think about what you are and who you are through the decisions that you make. Whatever they are, however big or small they are, take the time to analyze who you are and make sure that your decisions are a true projection of the person that you are within, not based on what others perceive you to be.
Sam: In Understanding U, Robert uses everyday experiences to explore personal growth, kindness, compassion, and the choices we make every day. He believes the people we meet and the experiences we have can teach us a lot about ourselves.
It’s a lesson he learned from his older brother George, who encouraged him to take the time to understand himself and make sure his decisions reflected who he truly was.
Robert – My oldest brother, George, who passed away, always had an expression. He used to always say growing up, oldest knows best. And when he used to say it, because we were all younger, to me, I’m like, okay, what is he talking about? He hasn’t been on earth that long. But as I’ve gotten older, and especially after he passed away in 2011, I started to see what he was talking about. And that statement was the impetus that drove me to write this book, because of what he told me about myself that helped me understand. Robert, get to really understand yourself. Make sure that anything you do is a reflection of who you really are as a person, not somebody else’s expression of you, not based on what others may perceive you to be or perceive you not to be. But make sure it’s really about who you understand yourself to be.
Sam: It may be the most important lesson in the entire book. Understanding who you are takes time. It requires reflection, patience, and a willingness to be honest with yourself. For Robert, those lessons became the foundation of Understanding U.
Robert: – Don’t rush the process. This book, in many respects, which really covers almost 20 years as a project, from 2006 until now that we’re having this interview, really suffices the point. So, I’m really happy I listened to him.
Sam: One story that especially resonated with Robert was the tale of Balto, the famous sled dog whose courage and determination helped save lives.
Robert – He was ridiculed, he was persecuted, he was treated as an outcast because he was different. And Balto’s character really showed me the true joy that came from ignoring what people think about you or what they say about you and finding joy and satisfaction in who you are. And Balto, the movie character, he really inspired me to give because when the children in the movie were sick, he on his own accord went to save those children by getting some antitoxin medication and bringing it back to Nome, Alaska to save those children from diphtheria. So his selfless act, risking his own life and putting the responsibility on his shoulders to save a whole town, as well as the dogs who were racing with him because he had to lead them back, was really an outstanding example of courage. It really touched my heart and it’s a movie that I recommend that anybody see. It’s worth the watch.
Sam: I love that, and it wasn’t just the movie that inspired him, it was the statue. In New York’s Central Park there is a Bronze Statue of Balto that looks out over a walking path. It was done by Frederick George Richard Roth – a native of Brooklyn and here’s a fun fact that I found on Wikipedia — The Real Balto, the actual dog, was present at the unveiling ceremony back in 1925, making him the only Central Park statue subject to attend their own dedication.
Robert says while he was inspired by Balto’s courage, self discovery is not easy. It requires you to have an open mind, to be honest with yourself when you look inward. Writing the book forced him to do exactly that.
Robert – I had so many thoughts that sometimes when you’re writing and you have all of these emotions inside you, you have to break your emotions up. You have to compartmentalize your emotions and break them down so that you can understand, OK, what’s the dominant emotion here? Is it love? Is it fear? Is it joy? Whatever is the dominant emotion. That’s what I wanted to leave. And what was the dominant emotion with me was love, love for my brother, for what he stood for, love for people. Love for myself, for who I am, coming to grips and coming to terms with who I am, and then joy followed that after the joy. Some fears, admittedly, because I wanted to make sure that I really moved people to act. I wanted to make sure that the book did exactly what I wanted to do because it moved me. But it’s another thing for it to move countless others when they lay eyes on or read the book. And that was my concern. So love, joy and fear were my three dominant emotions that govern my writings.
Sam: In the end, the journey that began with self-discovery led Robert to something even greater: peace with who he is.
The book is titled Understanding U. Just the letter U. And maybe that’s why the title works so well. At its heart, the book is about understanding ourselves, what we value, and how our choices shape the people we become.
Personal growth happens one decision at a time. One relationship at a time. One moment of reflection at a time. Robert’s invitation to all of us….
Robert Browne – Be yourself unapologetically, but respectfully.
Well said.

Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of suicidality in young adults and addiction.
Therapist Carrie Glover, LCMFT, and Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW, discuss parenting leading up to, and through, young adulthood. Carrie answers the question “How can parents support their young adult children in making big life decisions without taking control or creating tension?” They discuss the dissonance of imagining what parents want for their kids’ lives versus letting their kids choose their own paths. Together they embrace the importance of allowing kids to be individuals and that there is no set template in creating the best outcomes for children.
Carrie describes the different stages of development as kids enter adolescence and together they reflect on their own childhoods and the responsibility parents have to guide kids through decisions and mistakes without causing guilt or shame. They provide listeners with strategies to create lasting relationships as kids grow into young adults.

Thousands of books have been written about quantum theory. Originally conceived in the early 20th Century, its successes — and mysteries — continue to make to make news, whether the topic is the latest quantum computer or a new interpretation of the “measurement problem.” While modern science trumpets the theory’s successes on a practical level, a mystery remains: what does the theory tell us about what is “out-there,” about what the world is made of? The famous two-slit experiment shows that what we thought were either particles or waves are in fact neither and both. at the same time. Physicists describe the quantum world by a wave equation; but when we look at things in the world we do not see waves. Instead, when we make an observation or take a measurement we see not a wave but instead a hard, physical world. Under one interpretation, an observation is said to “collapse” the wave function. But how does this happen? Of the thousands of books written about quantum theory, The Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness, written by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner 20 years ago, remains one of the most approachable and thought-provoking books on the topic. Based on an outline for a popular science course the authors taught to non-science majors, the book introduces the readers to the history, framework, uses, and mysteries of this fascinating topic. Celebrating the 20th year anniversary of the book’s publication, co-author Fred Kuttner joins host Philip Comella to discuss how Bruce and Fred wrote the book and whether physicists know anything more about the quantum world today than they did when the book was first published.

Sue Elliott tells us that she is an ancient soul who is here to help humanity rise up into a higher level of consciousness that is based in what she calls Divine, Unconditional Love. Which is a tall order!
But through her decades of work as a coach, writer, and speaker, Sue has already helped millions of people to heal old patterns, connect with Divine guidance, and live with greater ease, joy, and peace.
While Sue has always been highly sensitive, she tells us that she led a pretty “normal” life before she started to receive messages from what she was told were “the Angels”. For more than thirty years, Sue was a magazine editor and writer. She specialized in creating brand-new automotive enthusiast magazines, and chef-recipe food magazines, before she launched a personal transformation magazine that was sold on newsstands nationwide. Along Sue Elliott’s very much non-linear journey (And we would certainly agree that her journey has been non-linear!), Sue also has owned a couple of marketing agencies, has served as a spokesperson for the automotive aftermarket, has ghost-written two books for actor and environmentalist Ed Begley Jr., and even has held leadership roles at health technology and education technology startups. All of that experience has enabled Sue Elliott to help countless people, as they release limiting beliefs, trust their intuition, and feel the profound support that is always available from these loving Beings that Sue refers to as “the Angels”, and from the Divine.

Mother: You brought me life
You brought me joy …
You brought me not out of Egypt …
But, out of the womb with God’s perfume
Mother, while you on Earth …
Is your lovely perfume of love that, I see
Is what I feel in my heart …
Is what, it was in your country that I was born
Mother, I lived …
for nine months in your country, first
I realized all your sacrifices
You done …
You shown me love
You’ve divided time …
You took 1% & gave me 99%
There’s no money to buy your time
You left Earth too soon …
… and, you going to leave me soon
I believe …
It was I, needing you more than Him
I been jealous of Him …
Taking you from my …
Was it, really your time?
As they say in the song in 1972 by James Croce
“Time, in a Bottle”
What is the 1st thing you do?
I had to pause!
Would you save it?
Until, eternity passed away?
Who would you spend it?
How far would you go?
How would you draw it first?
Would you write it with your heart’s blood?
Would you look up to God and make a bet?
Would you taste time?
If you did, how would it taste?
Would you accommodate your mom?
Would you fight, once again?
Would you cradle her before she goes?
Would you sit and cry with her?
Would you tell her, you love her?
Before, she goes how really sorry are you?
This time, would you give her your heart as a gift
Before she takes her last breath, a last kiss?
Before, she begs you to forgive her …
Because, no instructions she had
You must know, she did her best
It was in her heart none saw …
Her very own instructions … it was love
There was all the laws with love
To make you a man or a woman
Was the only best emotion she knew
That was love … You must know, it’s been
Through love you live and are alive
It’s through love you’ll reach your God
Now, think if you can save time in a bottle
What would you do?
Hug your mom?
If she’s dying, you beg God for a chance …
I leave you to think!
I leave you with specific questions …
Will you run with time …
Would you grab your mom
… and give her a huge hug
… will you tell her before her light ends
… mom, I love you today and always
If you leave me and go to heaven …
It is now, your new place and your home
You’ll always in my heart, mom
I was in your heart first …
Just …
Say …
I love you … mom
My most precious mom
Until, we meet again …
You, were the best mom
I love you mom … I love you mom
I always will …
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet
Did you know that something as simple as how you breathe could be the secret to calming an anxious moment, sharpening your focus, or even waking up your morning energy? In this episode, we’re diving into the fascinating world of intentional breathing—and trust me, it’s more powerful than you might think.
We’ll explore how your breath acts like a remote control for your nervous system, with research (including a standout study from Stanford) showing that small shifts—like lengthening your exhale or trying a steady “box breathing” pattern—can shift how you feel in real time. We’ll talk about cyclic sighing, one of the most effective ways to quiet your body’s stress response, and candle breath, a gentle, kid-friendly tool that helps little ones (and big ones!) find their calm.
Whether you’re looking to ease anxiety, boost concentration, or simply start your day with more clarity, this episode offers a warm, science-backed guide to choosing the right breath for the moment you’re in—because sometimes, the most powerful tools are the ones we carry with us everywhere.
Grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s breathe through this together.

Janet Dunne spent years searching for answers to bipolar disorder and depression, finding guidance in unexpected places ranging from hospitals and therapy to spiritual teachers and self-help books. Along the way, she discovered that many of those lessons pointed to the same simple idea: acknowledge your thoughts and feelings, but don’t let them control you. In this episode, we explore her deeply personal journey and the experiences that inspired her to share it with others.
Janet: Don’t hold on to your thoughts, don’t hold on to feelings. If it’s a bad feeling, let it go. If it’s a good feeling, let it go.
Sam: Just… let it go.
That sounds easy enough. But if you’re suffering from bipolar disorder, you might be inclined to resist that advice. Our guest today, Janet Dunne, says don’t. She the author of the book One Foot in the Right Direction: Bipolar, a Mental Health Problem and today, we’re going to learn why letting go is so important. .
Theme: The Curated Chapter
Sam: Part memoir and part self-help guide, One Foot in the Right Direction chronicles Janet Dunne’s journey through bipolar disorder and depression. Along the way, she shares the lessons, people, and practices that helped her rebuild her life and find hope again.
Janet: I found my adult life harder than my childhood. My childhood was lovely. It wasn’t perfect, but I was a happy child. I made mistakes and held on to things, held on to memories, and I got myself into trouble basically.
Sam: Janet Dunne grew up in Dublin with a mystery at the center of her life.
When she was three years old, her father disappeared. Not in the way you might be thinking. He became an actual missing person. For years, Janet hoped and prayed that he would come home safely, but he never did.
What followed was a childhood filled with contradictions. There were difficult moments: struggles in school, anxiety, and grief. But there were also adventures with friends, afternoons spent with her grandmother, family stories, music, art, and laughter.
As Janet entered adulthood, the challenges she had carried for years began to intensify. Eventually, she found herself in Ireland’s mental health system searching for answers. What frustrated her most was the lack of explanation.
Janet: I live in Ireland and the system in Ireland when you have mental health, they don’t explain the mental health problems to you. So you’re just put on medication and you’re basically in the system that’s in Ireland because I was in the system. I didn’t have private health insurance, so I was going through the normal system that’s there for all the rest of the people.”
Sam: Janet wasn’t satisfied with simply being told what medication to take. She wanted to understand what was happening to her and why. When those answers didn’t come, she began looking elsewhere.
Janet: Right from the get-go when I came out of hospital, one of my first things to do was to run to a church and pray to God to help me because I was in a very, very weird place that I had never been before. So I was searching outside myself.”
Sam: Janet’s search for answers would eventually take her far beyond Ireland. Along the way she encountered therapists, spiritual teachers, self-help authors, and even an Aboriginal healer whose advice would become one of the central lessons of her book.
Janet: He explained to me that there was a darkness in my life and that that darkness was attacking me and not letting me have my life the way I want my life to be.
Sam: So she asked if she could pay him for a healing session and his answer surprised her.
Janet: He said if I was to take money off you, I would lose the gift that I have. So in my head I just said quick, ask him again, ask him again, but don’t mention no money. And in the next breath then I said to him, can you do a healing for me? And I held back about money, yeah, I said nothing about money. And the healing started instantaneously and I just started crying buckets and buckets of tears.
Sam: That was a powerful experience because she felt like she wasn’t speaking to someone interested in just making money. She was speaking to someone who genuinely believed he could help her.
Janet: And so, what he actually told me to do was when that darkness comes to pause, don’t say anything, don’t think anything and don’t do anything. And that will allow that darkness to pass by. But if I think any thoughts or say anything or move a muscle in my body, that the darkness will be able to attach. I know this sounds weird, but I did what you said and it really, really works.
Sam: And then she shared her experience with a friend who was also in need of help.
Janet: And I also had a friend who was suicidal and I explained that technique to him. And then the next time I asked him, how are you now? He said, it’s gone, it’s over. I explained about the Aborigine to him. So that was it. That was a great breakthrough.
Sam: Just to be clear, these are Janets experiences if you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts I would call the 988 — the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Janet says another turning point came after a family crisis led her to leave Ireland altogether.
Janet: I was 10 years in the system before I actually took sick and landed in a German hospital. And that’s a really funny story because my psychiatrist in Ireland said, the next time there’s a problem in your family, I want you out of the scenario. I don’t want you to be any part of it the next time there would be a drama. And so when a drama happened in my life, I took the plane to Germany and ended up in a German hospital. And that’s, and that was another fantastic breakthrough because their system to deal with the mental illness was completely different to the Irish system. You know, the Irish system is old fashioned. The Germans are modern, forward thinking about mental illness.
Sam: Germany didn’t cure Janet’s problems. But it did change the way she thought about them. Her experiences so far led to thinking that recovery might require more than medication.
Janet: When I came back from Germany, I said, okay, Janet, you’re going to have to do this yourself now. And I looked up cognitive therapy and I went to cognitive therapy. Then I went to yoga, a yoga retreat for spiritual healing. It was actually a kundalini yoga course and it was absolutely fantastic.
Sam: At the Yoga retreat, Janet met a teacher named Satantra who reinforced some of he earlier advice she was given.
Janet: And he said that when you think of your thoughts, he said, your thoughts are like your happiness and thoughts coming into your head. You need to be like a tree with loads of branches and you let the thought come in like a breeze going through leaves. And then you just let it pass by. And that was similar to the Aborigine man. Don’t hold on to your thoughts, don’t hold on to feelings. You know, if it’s a bad feeling, let it go. If it’s a good feeling, let it go.
Sam: Different methodology but ultimately the same message, don’t fight every thought. Don’t cling to every feeling. Acknowledge your feelings but don’t hold onto them. Just…let it go.
Janet: I’m just hoping it helps people.
Sam: Throughout her journey, Janet searched for answers in many places. In hospitals. In therapy. In spirituality. In self-help books. In conversations with people who offered unexpected wisdom. But one of the most important discoveries she made was that no one could do the work for her.
Janet: I hope that they will realize that through some of the things that I learned along the way came from within me, solving the problem.
Sam: One Foot in the Right Direction is Janet Dunne’s attempt to share that journey with others who may be facing similar struggles. Not as a doctor or a therapist, but as someone who has walked that road herself and hopes her experiences might help someone else find their own way forward. If Janet’s story resonates with you or someone you know, the book is called One Foot in the Right Direction: Bipolar, a Mental Health Problem by Janet Dunne, (D-u-n-n-e) Its available now.
Janet (80 Pages) It’s not a, it’s not a long read, but I hope it’s an interesting take for people. It is. And it can help so many people.
Thank you Janet for sharing your story and thank you for listening.

Who is the Greatest? Not Alexander the Great, Andre the Great, Houdini, Ted Turner; a television legend, Walt Disney, George Washington, president JFK! … This claim goes to Jesus Christ, the Super Star!
How can we grab an answer?
How about, Saint John Paul, the II, Roman Catholic Church leader 1978-2005. God calls us Great and/or we call ourselves great!

The most dangerous man
The most powerful man …
The most holiest of all man
The created not the divider
The miraculous …
The Divide … the Omni-potent
The Omnipotent
The peacemaker
The lover of people
The One, Who forgives
The most apologia of all mankind
The walker of waters …
The turner of water into wine
The not magician raised Lazarus from the grave
The crucified man-death by man
The innocent man …
He, Who was betrayed
He, Who was spitted on
He, Who carried the Holly Cross
He, Who was innocent …
He, Who proclaimed love never hate
He, Who cured people’s with plaques
He, Who was rated a criminal-false claims
He, Who died never in vain …
But, to claim He the King of the Jews
No, but by man …
He claim, came from His Heavenly Father
He came through His Father
He from Heaven
He came directly
From God, the Father
He was born to rule
He, the only true king
He ruled with love …
With no pocket money
He sold to the highest traitor and bitter
His disciple, Judas
He not from this world
He, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
The most misunderstood …
Person through generations
The most famous person in all times
He loved and all three person’s in One, is He

While many people are familiar with Spiritualism, Spiritism is a distinct philosophy based on the teachings of Allan Kardec. Originating in the 19th century and flourishing in Brazil, Spiritism continues to grow throughout the United States.
Peter is an active member of the Spiritist Group Love and Light in Newark, New Jersey, Outreach Director of the United States Spiritist Federation, and a published children’s author. He holds an MFA in Dramatic Writing from New York University and brings a unique perspective to the study and sharing of Spiritist principles.
The 20th Annual US Spiritist Symposium will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the AC Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport in Dania Beach, Florida. The symposium will explore the Divine Laws, a central topic in Spiritist teachings.

In this episode, Eartha gently reframes the way many of us are taught to approach healthy change. So often, wellness advice asks us to adopt — to commit, to overhaul, to make a permanent decision today. But for many of us, that pressure leads to grief, sacrifice, or quitting before we even begin.
Drawing on her experience in nursing and as an adoptive parent, Eartha offers a different path: a two-stage model of behavior change.
🌱 Fostering is the first stage — initial awareness that something needs to shift, and a flexible, exploratory season where you get to know a new practice. Mistakes are allowed. Self-critical language is set aside. There is no forever required.
🏡 Adopting is the second stage — when a fostered practice has been lived long enough to become a steady, stable habit.
Along the way, Eartha names the unseen barriers to adoption (the feeling of loss, the pull of familiar behaviors) and offers practical supports: small realistic goals, room for mistakes, and accessible entry practices like mindful breathing and mindful walking.
This episode is an invitation to the new mindful breathing mini-series — a pressure-free space to try, learn, and grow. Share it with the family and friends who need to hear you don’t have to adopt yet. You can simply foster.

When Larry Freeborg was just 40, shortly after Christmas in 1979, he lost his wife to leukemia — and only days later, he also lost his job of 18 years. So there Larry was, a widowed father of four, with no income, and no future that he could see. No nothing at all. What followed for Larry wasn’t a quick recovery, either. But instead, it was a decades-long journey of learning how to grieve, how to lead with love, and how to rediscover hope in the face of unimaginable loss. Along the way, he discovered a simple but powerful truth: no matter what life takes away, you are always at choice. Today, Larry is the author of a powerful book, Always At Choice, and the founder of Stepping Through the Gate, which is a wise-elder coaching service. Through his writing and coaching, he helps individuals to move from significant losses into a place of healing, renewal, and fully engaged life possibilities. He also partners with business leaders to clarify what they want to create in the workplace — working side by side to navigate challenges and unlock solutions.
Here’s a look at our video chat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DyrMo8oCrU For the past 30 years, Larry Freeborg has been an independent coach and consultant. But before that, Larry spent over 20 years in the corporate world, first at 3M Company in marketing, new business ventures, and industrial graphics, and then five years with Medtronic, marketing implantable defibrillators, pacemakers, and other heart-regulating products. He’s a graduate of the University of Minnesota, and he was a top collegiate swimmer in the region. Always At Choice follows his inclusion in the book, Turning Point Moments. With the publication of Always At Choice, Larry’s mission is simple, yet profound: to remind others that while loss changes everything, it never takes away the power to choose, to heal, to grow, and to live again. The websites to reach Larry are: www.alwaysatchoice.net (for his book), and www.steppingthroughthegate.com (for his elder and transitional coaching).
Kim Vu, MD, shares her extraordinary journey from Vietnamese refugee to physician, along with powerful lessons on resilience, gratitude, motherhood, identity, and what it truly means to live fully.
In this heartfelt episode of the Exquisitely Aligned Podcast, Gina Maier Vincent sits down with Kim Vu, MD, for a powerful conversation about resilience, gratitude, identity, and what it truly means to fully live.
Born in Vietnam, Dr. Vu immigrated to the United States in 1975 as a refugee and went on to become a physician, leader, wife, and mother. Together, Gina and Dr. Vu explore:
- Escaping Vietnam by boat in hopes of rescue and arriving in America with almost nothing except faith and hope
- How sharing our stories creates trust, connection, and deeper human relationships
- The gratitude and work ethic her immigrant parents instilled that helped all seven children attend college on scholarships
- The emotional evolution of her relationship with her father-in-law and why we should never write people off
- The profound lessons she learned through motherhood, hospice care, and the difference between “living to die” versus “living to live”
This episode is a moving reminder that resilience is often quiet… and that some of life’s greatest wisdom comes through gratitude, compassion, and human connection.
In This EpisodeIn this deeply moving episode of the Exquisitely Aligned Podcast, Gina Maier Vincent sits down with Dr. Kim Vu for a conversation about resilience, gratitude, identity, motherhood, and the extraordinary perspective that comes from rebuilding a life from nothing.
Born in Vietnam, Dr. Vu immigrated to the United States in 1975 as a refugee after her family made the life-altering decision to flee by boat in hopes of rescue. Arriving in America with almost nothing except faith and a religious artifact, her story is a remarkable reflection of courage, perseverance, and the American dream.
Through hard work and determination, Dr. Vu earned her medical doctorate degree, practiced Family Medicine for more than twenty years, and now serves as Vice President and Medical Director at RGA. But beyond the accomplishments is a woman whose life has been shaped by gratitude, compassion, family, and deep human connection.
In this episode, Gina and Dr. Vu explore:
- The emotional journey from introvert to extrovert and how sharing our stories creates trust and more meaningful relationships
- What it was like growing up as immigrants in America and the powerful mindset her parents instilled around gratitude, education, and opportunity
- The touching evolution of her relationship with her father-in-law, who once struggled to accept her but later specifically asked for her care near the end of his life
- Why Dr. Vu believes we should never write people off because people can grow, soften, and surprise us
- The profound lessons she learned through motherhood, hospice care, and witnessing the difference between “living to die” versus “living to live”
This conversation is filled with wisdom, humanity, and perspective… reminding us that resilience is not always loud, and that some of life’s greatest richness comes through compassion, gratitude, and choosing to fully live.
For More Meaning in Your Future:
If Dr. Kim Vu’s story reminded you that resilience, gratitude, and possibility can still exist even after unimaginable hardship… this conversation was meant for you.
So many people spend years surviving, performing, caretaking, or simply trying to make it through life while quietly disconnecting from themselves in the process. Gina Maier Vincent calls this Underliving™ … and her work is devoted to helping people reconnect with their aliveness, purpose, voice, joy, and what is still possible for their future.
Because there is a difference between living to die… and living to live.

https://youtu.be/5mXEVkmXq30Robin is a native Texan who, in 1968, ventured to California with Janel, his wife of 57 plus years, to pursue football and baseball at the University of California at Berkeley. Disenchanted with the tumultuous atmosphere there, he entered California State University at Hayward, earning his BA in political science with a double minor in history and sociology. While in California, he became a competitive bodybuilder under the tutelage of Jack LaLanne and Jack Dellinger (1956 Mr. Universe)In 1973, at the urging of the San Francisco Giants’ personnel director, Carl Hubbell (MLB HOF), and the Oakland A’s owner, Charles Finley, Robin went to spring training with the A’s in Mesa, Arizona, as an invite. As it appeared he was about to sign and become a member of the A’s starting pitching staff, he tore his UCL, ending that dream. There was no Tommy John Surgery back then.
Journalism is in his ancestry, as his great grandfather, Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey was one of the first to settle in Knoxville, Tennessee, just prior to statehood. Dr. Ramsey started several newspapers, wrote political and research papers, and authored a book called Annals Of Tennessee, published in 1853 (still in print). “For two years (’83 & ’84), Robin was the sports editor for the Deer Park Broadcaster and the Progress. It was a rewarding time because I could make heroes of boys and girls in their respective sports. They loved seeing their name in print.” Along with “Midnight Justice” other books include “Misfit Youths Find A Champion”, and “We’ve Been Misled: Eating Healthy Is Simple.” Plus coming out next, a Prequel to “Midnight Justice”.

The Author
Dr. Abraham was born on a poor farm in 1939, with ten siblings. “I did not even own a pair of shoes until I was 10 years old”. He developed a love for learning, and at seventeen, he became a communist. His eloquent speeches attracted large crowds, but deep inside he felt empty, and the longing for God only continued to grow. His life changed dramatically one night, as he entered a church and dedicated his life to God. Ever since he has been on a relentless path to know God better and to lead others to the truths of the Bible. He is a Pastor with three PhDs around theology, and specializes in Old Testament, Bible Prophecies, Divinity, Church History, Numerology and Typology, with more than thirty books written. His first book in English was The Tabernacle and the Church (by Wipf and Stock Publishers). His latest book is Russia’s Final Destination (a best seller in South America for forty years: Israel, Gog and the Antichrist), and soon to be released Sabbath, Grace and Glory (Should Christians keep the Sabbath?). One of his greatest achievements is being one of the scholars who translated the NIV Bible into Portuguese. He currently lives in South Florida with his wife Penha and son Junior.

This powerful, provocative and exquisitely written book contains many stimulating theories on how some of todays issues around Russia, Israel and end times were predicted in biblical conjectures.
Many of us have often wondered why Russia invaded Ukraine, does it have anything to do with Biblical prophecies surrounding Israel. Abraham a pastor with three doctorates in theology, grapples with that debate plus numerous other arguments in his book. In part 1 Abraham focuses on references the Bible makes about the nation of “Gog” now Russia. Abraham attests that Russia’s predicament with Ukraine today can be traced back to prophecies made in the Bible. In Part 2 Abraham draws attention to Israel’s current phase and attempts to address why antisemitism is on the rise. In Part 3 under End Times Abraham examines and explains what End Times looks like, including the Rapture of the Church, the world government (first beast), the Antichrist (second beast) identified by 666, Great Tribulation, Millenium, New Jerusalem and the glorious eternity with God.
This convoluted book hasn’t been written as a cosy bedtime read, that’s not its purpose, its impetus is to make you stop and think how past Biblical prophesies are coming to the fore and playing their part in todays world be they good or just plain evil.
To give you more of an in-depth insight as to what you can expect from the book I’m revealing to you all the content page.

As the school year winds down and summer knocks on the door, parents and caregivers are left with a little extra space — and a familiar question: how do we want to fill it?
In this episode of Transition Awareness Breathing, host Eartha invites you to foster just one mindfulness skill this summer. Not a whole new lifestyle. Just one small practice, the way you’d care for a pet for a short season.
You’ll explore seven simple skills — mindful eating, breathing, walking, smell, texture, temperature, and thought imagery — with one easy example each. Then we’ll close with a short guided practice so you can choose your “fosterskill” and try it on the spot.
One breath, one moment, one small mindful habit — that’s enough for today.

Hantavirus should we panic?
Hantavirus any need to panic?
Hantavirus can it spray like CoVid, FLU or RSV?
What is Hantavirus?
Hantavirus belongs to the family Hantaviridae
With the Oder Bunyaviruses …It is NEG-Sensed, Single-stranded RNA viruses, main disease “Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS)
Mostly found in the Americas with +cases by the
Mississippi River, Asia & Europe …
If there’s any cure however, supportive care
with management is recommended with oxygen
Regimen with breathing tubes and blood Pressure monitoring for best chance survival
So guess what? It’s a serous virus …
Since, survival rate is poor … therefore,
It is important to keep away from infected
Individuals rats, and mice dropping
In order to avoid the disease …
Yea, in order to avoid the disease
Symptoms can be Flu-like …
Fever, chills, fatigue, muscle aches
Respiratory complications
Short breaths, headaches, low BP
And, possible …
Respiratory failure with …
Severe abdominal pain-discomfort
With vomiting and diarrhea, this is serious!
How spread? Transmission of the disease is
Simply by direct contact and/or inhalation of Moyse/rat droppings, saliva, urine and water contaminated with the live virus …
E person-to-person possible way of transferring and/or passing the infection to other individuals?
Yes! Is possible by sharing utensils, close Contact with infected person, kissing-touching
… By saliva transmission …
Why am focusing on this ugly virus that can
Leave individuals to possible death?
It is not the Black Death, but could be to the
Victims because, of treatment is slow
… recovery that can lead to death!
Let mention recent cases in the cruise ship
MV Hondius with three passengers
Taken too early to their graves …
It was suppose to be a memorable vacation
Instead, turned the opposite for all! Who was the culprit? There seemed to be 2passengers Contaminated … A Dutch couple enjoying life’s Precious gifts and moments!
They traveled to Argentina, Chile and Uruguay
As reported, I heard bird watching …
As, they were! They, had-sad to learn of that News … How sad to learn of this news!
… One-today, dying side-by-side?
They must had come in direct contact with
The rat live Hantavirus being present!
Possibly feces and/or contaminated urine as
Fluids without knowing! Who can predict!
Viruses behave different while bacteria,
Are double stranded (ds) DNA layered as single
Circular chromosome in its cytoplasm …
It is known as “Nucleoid, composed of long-stranded helical & with supercoiled DNA strand
… molecule capturing genetic info
… for the microbe
Bacteria contains plasmids, a double circular bacterial DNA, doubled helix; which carries extra Genes … It’s an eukaryotic cell
Both are complicated structures: RNA Ss (viruses) vs Ds (DNA), Bacteria …
I hope, I’ve explained the importance
Of the structures .… Its mechanism
Between viruses vs. bacteria
It’s a complex world micro worlds of a system
Viruses are not unicellular, like bacteria
They’re a cellular, composed of cells
However, all viruses lack cytoplasm, cell membrane and organelles … viruses
… makeup are genetic materials (DNA or RNA)
… with a protein coat unlike your Winter coat
Going back to the couple, how sad to learn
Of their deaths! Let’s us not panic
But, remain calm as a whistle …
And, learn its facts, go on living!
… and enjoy life!

The Author
Griff Ruby is from Lompoc a small community town close to the stunning Pacific Coastline of California in the United States. He has been married to his wife Juliet for over twenty-Seven years. Griff like me was born in 1958 and for most of his life he has been searching for the true meaning of Christianity. That search took him on a journey as he explored various religious teachings, but he eventually settled on Catholicism, but even that is only the general neighbourhood since he speaks for a growing group of Catholics who believe that today’s Vatican no longer speaks for Catholicism. When you have a look at his books, you’ll see that he can be quite controversial, possibly putting him at odds with contemporary doctrine. What does he think of Vatican II? Well, I’ll let you draw your own conclusions as you peruse the pages. So, let’s turn to the book that we are going to focus on in this podcast interview.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/clV04DKelE4The Book
For nearly two thousand years the Roman Catholic Church withstood all the currents of change and history and maintained a closely guarded orthodoxy which has always served as the basis and centre of all Christianity. Yet, it is as if all of that has been arbitrarily swept away in the few years by Vatican II. Given what the church has always taught about itself being indefectible. How could this have happened? Did that Council have something to do with that terrible loss of faith? Can the real Catholic Church be found today, and if so, where?
The shocking answer to this, once seen and truly understood, is as every bit as glorious as the original resurrection of Christ Himself, a tremendous source of faith and inspiration. It is broad-based, longstanding miracle passing right before our eyes, have we but the Grace to see it for what it is.
To give you a heads up as to what you can expect from Griff in this book, I’m revealing the contents so that you can get a flavour as to the tone of the book.

Sede Vacante
Sede Vacante! The literal translation from the Latin to English is ‘Vacant Chair.’
And when you have read the book, you’ll understand why Griff gave his book this title. At first glimpse Griff sets out the purpose of the book and let’s be clear it’s not a bedtime read, it was never intended to be that; it’s a thought-provoking book with some interesting and at times controversial viewpoints. For me Griff has set the book out in a unique way, are they chapters? Or are they sections that can be viewed as chapters? Either way you decide but Griff has set them as doctrines and deductions. He starts off with sixteen doctrines closely followed towards the end with five deduction sections, at the end of most doctrines and deductions Griff challenges you with a series of findings and raw questions all done to simply make you think. Is Griff’s Ideological rhetoric to your taste hmm…maybe, maybe not but it’s well worth investigating. At the end of the book, you’ll find an exceptionally well written epilogue, a compelling table of basic premises, findings and questions, and finally an engaging Appendix around the sources of errors against the authority of the traditional Catholic Bishops.
This book is extremely well written, but as I have already hinted at its contents in places will certainly raise a few eyebrows. I would be interested to hear what the hierarchy in the Vatican would say about this book. So, look for yourself and formulate your own opinions.
Is God’s will being shaped to fit man’s needs rather than man shaping himself to meet God’s expectations? This question is at the heart of this book.

Divorce isn’t a new chapter it’s a detonation. In her book “Divorce is F*cked! A No Bull-Shit Survival Guide for Men”, Tracey McMillan draws on 30 years in family law to show what actually happens when things fall apart. This episode looks at how to stay steady, think clearly, and protect what matters when everything feels like it’s slipping because in the end, it comes down to how you navigate the system.
Tracey McMillan: I’m Tracey McMillan the author of Divorce is Fucked: A No-Bullshit Survival Guide for Men.
Can you tell we are in for a lively conversation today?!
Theme: The Curated Chaper
Welcome the Curated Chapter a chapter sized podcast about interesting things and people passionate enough to write a big book about them. Today we are going to talk about Divorce. It is an ugly business, it is insanely emotional but there are ways to manage it and today you are going to learn those ways from Tracey McMillan. She has spent over thirty-years in family law and men’s advocacy.
Tracy McMillan: In family law, you see good people at their worst.
Do you know anyone that’s been through a divorce. Statistics would say you do, although it is getting better. Right now, the divorce rate for first marriages is around 41%—down from 50%…and then, of course, the more often you get married… the higher the odds climb.
I have never been through a Divorce myself and if you know me personally then you would consider that a miracle but that’s a chapter for another podcast. I have had a ringside seat for quite a few of them which is why I laughed out loud when I saw the title of Tracey McMillan’s book, “Divorce is F’d!”
Tracey McMillan: I named the book and I get it. It’s provocative. I’m not backwards in being provocative. I’m OK to do that.
It’s a hilarious title because it’s true. One minute you’re planning a vacation, and the next you’re Googling ‘what happens if she takes the kids? Divorce is ugly for a lot of reasons and an amicable one? That is a unicorn. Or maybe I should say undergoing a painless divorce is like finding a unicorn. Most people who have been through it can testify to how quickly the “idea of “we’re going to be mature about this” can unravel the moment lawyers get involved.
Tracey McMillan: So when I first started out, I was the real cocky lawyer. I was very arrogant, only cared about my wins. You know, like it’d be like I didn’t want to remember my client’s names, didn’t care about the kids’ names. It was just I would tally up what my wins are. And I used to focus so heavily on what my losses were. So I used to go, I can count on one hand how many my losses are. But what actually started to happen was here I was having these like landmark decisions. I was thinking, this arrogant me, right back when I was younger, going, you should be bowing at my feet. I’ve gotten you all this great outcome. You’ve got the kids. He hasn’t got the kids. Look at me go. They’d be happy in the immediacy. But what would happen is literally a couple of days later or a week later, they’d actually still be really bitter. And with parenting orders, they were coming back. Like I ended up having clients coming back within 12 months where they’re going, they’re not following the orders. We’re going to have to go back. This needs to be changed. That needs to be changed. So it made you start to really think about why. So I was that lawyer. So I don’t know if you’ve had that experience, but if you’re treated like a number, isn’t that the most disgusting and disgraceful behavior? And the thing is, is I see that with a lot of lawyers.
She said a lot of Lawyers, not all them. There are some compassionate ones out there. In fact, she became one of them, but that moment where she realized something wasn’t working, that’s what led to this book. The full title is “Divorce is Fcked: A No-Bull-shit Survival Guide for Men”*. Tracey says the title came to her honestly.
Tracy McMillan: I asked over 2000 men, I asked them two questions. First one, using unfiltered language, let’s be real. How is it? What does it feel like going through a divorce? When you’re in the system and that’s where they got divorce is f’d, and then the next question is, what is the one thing you truly wish you had if you were going through that? And that was don’t beat around the bush and pretend that the system’s good because it’s not. Let’s have no BS, get down to the real grassroots and give me a guide as to how I can navigate this.
And that’s why she wrote the book. Through her career Tracey has seen every tactic, every trap, and every mistake men make when their world falls apart so now her approach is simple: treat divorce like the high-stakes operation it is. No panic. No illusions. Just strategy and emotional control.
Tracey has watched so many good men lose everything; their homes, their kids, their minds and it wasn’t because they were bad dads, it was just that no one told them how the system really works. Nobody hands you a rulebook…but the rules are there. You just have to be in the right frame of mind to understand them.
Tracy McMillan: Humans require certainty. It’s one of their fundamental cravings, because certainty equals safety, which equals survival. And what happens when you’re going through the process? In a relationship, you have those certainty of the really fundamental things in life. For instance, you have love, you have a family, you have financial security, you have trust. And when one of those pillars is disrupted or taken away, and then you move into the separation, what happens is all of those things that you had, which gave you certainty in a relationship, has now been stripped of you. And so what happens is, as a human being, you actually react.
And since we are humans craving certainty, when we lose that we panic and that’s what gets us into trouble. Tracey points out that the family court system isn’t designed to comfort you. It’s designed to assess your behavior while you’re going through one of the most emotionally chaotic moments of your life. You are arriving in court with your fight-or-flight instinct fully activated.
Tracy McMillan: When you’re in fight or flight, you can’t use complex reasoning of your brain, it actually is sort of shunted or stunned. And as a result, the only things you do is because you feel this uncertainty, you’re feeling a threat to your life, even if you don’t realize it. And so you react accordingly to try and save your life. And the thing, the threat that you’re seeing is the predator happens to be the person who took away your certainty, which is the other party. So they treat them as though they’re a predator to their survival.
I found that part fascinating because it explains why otherwise smart people begin acting irrationally. They can’t hep it. They aren’t just arguing about property or custody, their nervous systems is telling them they are under attack. Here’s a great example.
Tracy McMillan: Some of the things they’ll do is, for instance, they’ll talk in absolutes, they’ll say things like, oh, I can’t trust her, can’t trust her at all. She’s taken my kids, I’ve got nothing, I have no future. So what this book does is show you how to stop reacting, going, oh, hey, I’m not using complex reasoning here, my nervous system’s offline.
Now let’s talk about the court system. If you find yourself in court, in front of a judge, the last place you want to be is fight-or-flight mode but that’s what usually happens with men and they need to learn how to turn all that anger into a strategy that can help them win in court.
Tracy McMillan: So all the court’s doing is they’re looking at a lens of that small window. And one of the things they will ask is, do you agree that past behaviour is predictive of future behaviour? I would say no. It could be, but that’s what the courts tend to rely upon when they go in there. And so what happens is that when they’re talking about past behaviour, they’re talking about immediate past behaviour. And they’re basically reflecting on everything that you’ve done, right or wrong, when you’re going through that separation period. And that’s when you’re in fight or flight. You’re not designed to have adrenaline going in quarters or going off the charts for long periods of time. So when you know that, what we’ve got to do is we’ve got to get you out of that fight or flight stage to be able to appropriately respond to the court’s assessment of you to say, hey, I am calm enough and I am able to proffer up my child’s best interests in a very loving and nurturing way to demonstrate that going forward into the future, I’ll be able to replicate that and actually give the child a safe and loving household.
The book is written for men but it’s not about teaching men to “beat” women in court. It’s about teaching them to master themselves. Because when you control your reactions, you control your outcomes but that is a strategy both men and women can use.
Tracy McMillan: You’re basically taught, once you’re in separation, it’s war, it’s war on its game on. And the only way to do it is to go into court and fight and whoever fights the hardest wins. And ironically, if you utilize some of the tools in my book, you’ll never get there because you’ll actually be giving each party what they want.
And that’s where Tracey’s approach starts to separate itself from the stereotype of the angry divorce lawyer. Her argument is actually the opposite. The people who usually do the worst in divorce court are the ones reacting emotionally while the people who do better learn how to communicate strategically.
Tracy McMillan: I’m literally saying to you, here are the tools. If you want to actually get a very good outcome in your matter, and I don’t believe in the win, because it’s family court. Technically you all lose. But if you actually go through all this, both parties actually get from it what they need. And then imagine if you could actually walk away with both parties going, okay, I can move forward in my life. if you’re a parent in this situation, your main responsibility should be that those children are thriving. And that requires a bit of insight and a bit of reflection. And with men, the thing is, is they don’t want the fluff in the ball. They don’t want people telling them that the systems all completely fair and, or that they’re overreacting because it’s, that’s real for them. That’s that they do feel like the amount of times I’ve had men going, I feel broken. I feel like the system has abandoned me. I feel like it’s very in favor of women and it is, but it’s not intentionally favoring women.
One of the tools she offers is surprisingly simple, better communication.
Tracy McMillan: It’s like if someone is talking in Japanese and somebody else is talking in Italian, and you’re like, well, you don’t understand me. And you go, that’s because you’re not talking the same language…you’re never going to get on the same page if you don’t understand what language you’re talking.
That is a very literal explanation but in the book she breaks this down into the various communication styles because we are all very different and our personalities influence how we communicate.
Tracy McMillan: There’s four different types of communication styles. And one is someone who seeks out safety. So, and then another one is somebody who seeks out data. And then you have another one who goes with their gut because they’re emotional. They’ll talk in terms of like, my gut says blah, or I feel blah. And then you have the ones who talk about they’re the dreamers.
They see what it will look like at the end. So they see the ideal of what will happen. And I see it all the time. Actually, I’ve seen it all the time between lawyers and clients as well. It’s quite funny, where the client will come in and men tend to be more data. So what you have to talk to them is about, right, this is the statistics. These are the odds. These are the numbers. And they’ll come in like that. But if you walk in there and turn around and say, well, I feel like that’s not fair to somebody who has data, they’re just, it’s not going to land for them. He’ll be saying, well, I don’t give a shit what you feel. Like, show me the stats. Show me the facts.
You are not broken, the system is. Your emotions are valid. But your reactions must be strategic.
Family law rewards calm, child-focused, predictable behavior not outrage. And maybe that’s why Tracey McMillan’s book, “Divorce is F’ed” resonates with so many people.
Tracy McMillan: I’ve been really ecstatic about how so many people have received it, even lawyers who have read it turn around and say, wow, this is brilliant. That’s been really wonderful.
We’ve talked a lot today about emotions, communication, and keeping your head on straight when your world feels like it’s coming apart, but the book goes much deeper than that.
Tracey McMillan gets into things like what to do in the first twenty-four hours after separation, how to protect yourself financially, custody battles, dealing with lawyers, recognizing manipulation, documenting behavior, and how not to accidentally sabotage yourself while you’re emotionally overloaded and trying to make life-changing decisions.
In other words, this isn’t really a self-help book. It’s more like a field manual for surviving one of the most chaotic experiences a person can go through.

Our guests this week are Seek Reality special favorites! Carol and Mikey Morgan are with us today for the 29th time, which is, as most of you know, a special honor for us. Theirs is a truly amazing story! Mikey Morgan is a Sixth-Level Being who last had lived on earth in the 1600s, so he was already back then a very advanced Being, and vibrating almost at the Godhead level. But he was very much alarmed at the way that things were going on earth, and he wanted so much to help us spiritually, that he began in 1987 and ended in 2007 another quick earth-lifetime, so he could teach us in the voice of a modern American 20-year-old. Now Mikey answers our questions about the afterlife, the greater reality, and whatever else you like from the sixth level of the afterlife, the level which is just below the Source, through his mother of his most recent earth-lifetime, our dear friend Carol Morgan. Even though she insists to us that she never would have signed up for this! So today, our guests once again are Carol and Mikey Morgan. Roberta first met Carol a few years after she had lost her son, Mikey, in an auto accident. Carol knew nothing about the afterlife, but Roberta tested Mikey’s knowledge very extensively, so she can vouch for the fact that he is exactly who and what he claims to be. Roberta has spent more than fifty years researching the afterlife and the greater reality, and Mikey knows a great deal more about all of this than even Roberta does! He has answered all her questions correctly, and then he often adds extra information, which Roberta tells that she has checked enough to be sure that it is also accurate. So she can vouch completely for our amazing friend, Mikey Morgan! Mikey communicates with us now from very near the Godhead level, and his answering our questions as he does is a wonderful gift of service to the world! Mikey and Carol don’t have a website, so they share Roberta’s websites. If there are questions that you would like to have Mikey answer, just send them to info@robertagrimes.com. And Mikey’s wonderful book, which he wrote himself, is Flying High in Spirit – A Young Snowboarder’s Account of His Ride Through Heaven.

You are in the right place! Join my guest Brooke Erickson, RD and I as she explains how our exposure to light and darkness controls our human circadian rhythm, the air traffic controller of our brain and body functions. Our modern lifestyles keep this rhythm off-balance; the result is high cortisol levels, lower dopamine production, poor sleep, altered body metabolism, and using sugar to get the dopamine hits that sustain brain activity but in unhealthy ways. Listen (or watch) as we explore how to get our circadian rhythms back on track. (Hint: Change the timing, wavelengths and brightness of light exposure over the day and into the evening.)

For Every Parent Who’s Wondered If Mindfulness for Kids Really Works. The Receipts Behind the TAB Program
If you’ve ever watched your child melt down in the school pickup line and wonder whether anything actually helps — this episode is for you.
Eartha is the creator of the Transition Awareness Breathing (TAB) program, and since 2018 has taught children to breathe, notice, and settle their bodies through some of the biggest moments of their day. Parents have told her it works. Teachers have told her it works. The children themselves have shown Eartha it works.
But Eartha wanted to know something deeper:
Does the research agree? So, she did what most mindfulness educators never do publicly. She held her program up against the most authoritative pediatric, neurological, and mental health research available — and let the evidence speak.
In this episode, Eartha will walk you through what she found with Deep Dive research results.
→ How a Stanford study showed that just four guided breaths can measurably calm a child’s nervous system → Why the American Academy of Pediatrics’ 2026 guidelines on screen-free time matter more than ever — and what that means for your child’s brain → What a seven-year study of 28,000 children revealed about which school mindfulness programs actually work, and why → How the CASEL framework — the gold standard for social-emotional learning in U.S. schools — maps directly onto what TAB does in every session → What new neuroscience research says about why crafts, stories, and breath together calm a child more powerfully than any single tool alone
This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a love letter to evidence — and to every parent, teacher, and school leader who has ever needed more than a feeling to trust a program with their child.
If you’ve ever doubted that mindfulness for children is real… come listen. The research has been waiting for you.

Our guest today is a recent guest that I enjoyed, and our listeners enjoyed very much the first time she was here, so now this is her third Seek Reality visit. Despite the title of her book, Debbie Dobbins is not just your typical wealth mentor. Instead, She is all about helping entrepreneurs to rewrite their whole lives’ stories about money, power, and human purpose. After building successful businesses herself, making millions, and teaching abundance for decades, Debbie found herself face-to-face with a cancer diagnosis, actually broke, and even on food stamps. That experience didn’t break her, though. Instead, it activated her. Through feminine energy, intuition, and radical personal reinvention, she not only healed her body and rebuilt her wealth, but she reimagined what true success actually means for each of us. So now, Debbie is the author of Your Inner Billionaire, which she markets as a potent blend of prosperity principles, spiritual truth, and no-nonsense plain talk. Her promotional materials tell us that her work blends Universal Laws, quantum consciousness, and grounded strategy to help conscious entrepreneurs to claim their abundance. Not just at the bank, but also in their bodies, their businesses, and their belief systems. She calls herself “The Queen of Magic” for a reason, she says. Her mission is to help others to always remember that they, too, hold the magic wand!
Debbie now leads global retreats. She teaches transformational courses, and she runs a high-impact mastermind called the Inner Billionaire Circle. She has helped thousands of women to reignite their wealth from the inside out, many of them in what she calls their “second act” of life. Her teaching work is grounded in joy, in soul connection, and in the confident belief that abundance is not reserved for only the few, but rather, it is what she calls a universal birthright.
She tells us that creating wealth has nothing to do with our current circumstances, and everything to do with accessing our Inner Billionaire-which is that part of us that inherently understands abundance, naturally attracts opportunities, and knows how to manifest prosperity. Debbie’s website is www.thedebbiedobbins.com.

You bleed, you love, you get hurt, you scream
When in pain, you cry from the insides …
You die for love and love for your fellow man
You give a hand … especially, when you’ve
No umbrella, you give’em one!
You pray and beg God to be your very best
You kneel to the skies and your God …
You feel your heart beats with God in it
You look at your soul
You look really hard
You look at your heart
… of the color of beets
Yes, is red and purple
Is God in it …To be human
You have to roar and explore …
What is to be human?
Is to be like everyone
Be naked and dumb!
Then, we are clothed and smart
And, different from everyone!
Is what we all have in common …
However, we not all born
With the same luck …
Some may be born into money …
Powers and potent parents
And some with poison
Some not …
Some with financial strength
While some, can say they born
Without a curse …
Some born with a curse?
Some lack of money
Money, not a luck!
Yea, it could be
How can that be possible?
An innocent babe born without privileges!
How unfair! Who says life is fair?
Who says, we are all equal?
It is the will of man to give your very best
To your offsprings in order to bring and spring ahead … Is a start to jump start ahead
Let’s look at a homeless man
Let’s take a new mom …
… whose husband’s died
Let’s further elaborate
A newborn …
Born without a mom
She died in childbirth
Now, a single dad …
To raise a babe …
Must wake up without a breast
As it produces its own milk
Only mom produces milk …
As this new born dad
With a new born babe
Has to risk it all
With endless love
To feed his child
For a future … to his offspring
How can you start ? To untrick a babe?
It seems like a trick on your cheeks!
It is lies in silence of cries feeling weak and trick
You do the math … and pick a lucky number
Perhaps, if you win the lottery
Your lucks starts to change
Change the locks of your doors
Now, you unlucky as everyone
Knicks at your door …
Seeking a piece of your lottery
You pray to switch back to poverty
Too late, you got your wish …
Get on your knees …
Beg your God for forgiveness
You aimed to be wealthy…
No longer seeking happiness-paper rich
As they say “You got your wish, be careful
“What you wish for, you might get it
It may come true!”
Is never too late to be extra good
You human …
Like everyone else
You will make mistakes
You will love and hate
Change your view in youth …
Never to hesitate to seek love and bury hate
Never to kill nor disregard, 10 commandments
Pray extra hard prefer to be poor and your best
Ready and be assure
To sit by the shore …
Stay quietly by the seashells
Start counting all the sands
When you finish
Start again …
You tell me
What number did you end up with?
Or, did you go to sleep
Because, you human
An impossible task
You can’t count!
All the sands …
You must leave it to God
Whose’s the only Person
Willing and capable …
Of performing such tasks
He is not human like you and I
He is more human
You may ask me why?
Because, He know our witnesses
Because, we humans’
I leave you with a message
Aim to be rich in love …
Great in spirit …
Love the Lord your mightiest
Love is all you need …
Love is peace in thoughts
Love is in abundance …
Is a blue light
Is dim …
Is never enough
Aim it …
Aim for it …
Is the greatest of the gifts
Love, love, love … love

Small Words, Big Impact: 5 Tiny Language Shifts That Change Your Brain
In this episode, we’re adventure into a deep dive in talking about something we use every day but rarely think about: the tiny words that shape how we feel, how we communicate, and how we move through the world.
Most of us don’t realize how much our everyday language affects our mood, our relationships, and even our stress levels. A single word can calm your nervous system — or send it into overdrive. The good news? Small shifts make a big difference mentally and physically.
We’ll explore five simple language habits that can change the way you think and feel:
- Why the word “but” quietly erases your good intentions
- How “if” can trap you in regret, comparison, or anxiety — and how to flip it into possibility
- How swapping “but” for “and” helps you hold two truths at once without beating yourself up
- Why a little honest, unfiltered language (yes, even a swear word) can sometimes build trust
- How forcing yourself to “sound perfect” can actually stress your body and shut down your authentic voice
This isn’t about being “polished” or “correct.” It’s about learning to speak in a mindful way that supports your mental health, honors your real feelings, and helps you show up as your true self.
By the end of the episode, you’ll have a handful of tiny word shifts you can start using today — simple tools that help you communicate with more clarity, compassion, and confidence.

What happens when a baseball coach who says he wasn’t qualified to write a book keeps hearing the same message from God over and over again? In this episode of The Curated Chapter, Coach Lloyd Skoda shares the heartfelt story behind Connecting With God In All Things — a book about faith, purpose, calling, and discovering that if something matters to you, it matters to God.
Coach Lloyd Skoda: I didn’t want to write a book. I wasn’t qualified to write a book, but God made it plain that I was supposed to write a book.
Theme: The Crated Chapter.
When God tells you to write a book, then you’d better write a book. That is just one of the lessons to be learned in this episode of The Curated Chapter. A chapter sized look at new books from independent authors like Coach Lloyd Skodawho you just heard saying he didn’t want to write a book, didn’t think he was qualified to write a book, but he did and it’s called Connecting With God In All Things.
Coach Lloyd Skoda: The whole book is supernatural. It’s not natural.
Before we get too deep into what the book is about I want you to hear how it came into existence.
Coach Lloyd Skoda: So I was preaching at our church on Wednesday night, and we had an elderly couple there that had been faithful. I’ve known them for years, they’re faithful to God. And I got through preaching and walked by them, and John and Linda Lancaster, and they said, Coach, you need to write a book. Now, my first thought was, I don’t want to write a book. I’m not qualified, the first thing, to write a book, and I’m not going to write a book. Well, so I was teaching school full-time then, and we were—school was going on, and the bell rang, and the kids were swapping classes. And so a young lady that I knew, she was a junior. I was teaching senior. She stuck her—there was a young man first that came—he was the first one in the room. He came in, sat down. Then a young lady stuck her head in the door. Kids were changing classes. She said, Coach, Lord tells you to write a book, you need to write a book, don’t you? I said, Emily, who are you talking to? She said, I don’t know. I just felt like I was supposed to say that. So we had class that period. The bell rang, and the young man, who was the only person in the room when she said that, he came up to me, why is it a ghost? He said, Coach. He said, I almost fell over backwards when Emily said that to you. She said—I mean, he said, God told me last week to tell you you’re supposed to write a book. So, yeah. So I had a coach who had been coaching with me 17 years. We were dear friends, and this was a kicker. He said, Coach, you want to hear a crazy story? Now, he didn’t know any of this was going on. And he said, you want to hear a crazy story? I said, well, I guess you want me to hear it. He said, there was this guy that God told him to write a book. He kept putting it off, said he didn’t want to do it. He got in a bad, a real bad accident where his leg had to be in traction. So he was bedridden. His leg was in traction. And God told him, he says, now you got time to write that book. I said, I’m on it right now.
You can tell right away that Coach Lloyd Skoda is natural born story teller. And maybe that’s part of the irony here. The man who says he wasn’t qualified to write a book ended up writing one filled with personal stories about faith, purpose, calling, and the belief that God is involved in every area of our lives.
Coach Lloyd Skoda (It Matters) If it matters to you it matters to God.
That simple idea sits at the heart of this book. Coach Skoda believes we all have a calling and no two callings look the same.
Coach Lloyd Skoda: Everybody has a calling, everyone. people’s lives are at different stages and they have different vocations and they have different marriages. Everything is different. God created us different. And I wanted people to kind of get a taste that God, everything that pertains to their life, God is interested in everything that pertains if it’s if it’s parents, if it’s family, if it’s sports. And I used to get my feelings hurt a lot because people didn’t understand what God called me to do. And even in the same calling, so you being a former educator, even in the same calling, people don’t understand. Like, a kindergarten teacher does not understand how I enjoy teaching older kids, and I certainly don’t understand how they enjoy teaching a kindergarten kid. So even within the same callings, it’s different.
I told you he was story teller. If you google him you’ll find all kinds of people saying nice thing about him like great coach, amazing man, yrs later we all still tell stories of playing for him. Here’s one of those stories.
Coach Lloyd Skoda: One of the big the popular stories in there, I asked a young lady, could I use her name? She was a cheerleader and kept score for baseball my early years of coaching. I mean, she was there my first year of coaching. And so she came to me one day. She said, coach, I believe in we’re not going to have a rained out baseball game. Now, in my mind, in my mind, I thought I could care less if we have a rained out game. But it mattered to her. And that’s kind of what if it matters to you, it matters to God. So it would rain her childhood sweetheart. Well, he gave her a fit. He said it’d be a hundred percent chance of rain. He’d say, Cindy, it’s gonna rain today. No, it’s not. No, it’s not. No, it’s not. And boys would give her fits. Everybody. She stood by herself. But see, we go from faith to faith. OK, so then so then we play for a state championship. And it rained all around us. It rained after the game. We didn’t have no rained out game, but there’s a lot of games that’s supposed to be rained out. That was super nice. We had one game. It rained all the way around that field. It didn’t rain on that field. Wow. Oh, I saw that. So we’re playing for a state championship. And I hear this voice in the dugout, Coach Coda. And it was her. So I said, I stopped the game. I called time out when the dugout. So what is it, Cindy? She said, God told me that if we could pray, we’d win because we was kind of hopelessly behind two outs in the last inning. And we prayed and we won the game.
For Coach Skoda, stories like that aren’t really about baseball. They’re about learning to trust that faith can exist not only in churches or scripture, but in the ordinary moments of everyday life.
Coach Lloyd Skoda: What I tell people when I teach Bible or preach at church, I said, if you get every word that I say, you’re missing it. God’s got something specifically for you. So when I say he gives us all things to pertain, I’ve got so many, so many good stories in that book that pertains to life. It’s their life. You know, so I can tell a story and there’s going to be something in that story that’s going to relate to their life. It might not, it might not be anything about sports. It might be about music or something else. It might be about relationships. So that’s the neat thing. When they get through, God will speak to them about things that pertain to their life and they’ll understand that he cares. If they care about something, God cares about something. And I think that’s what everybody goes away with when they read that book.
And maybe that’s why this book connects with so many different kinds of people. Coach Skoda doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but he speaks with the kind of sincerity that reminds us our lives matter, our callings are unique, and that even ordinary moments may carry a deeper purpose than we realize.
Coach Lloyd Skoda: Everybody that’s read that book has been able to identify whether if they’re not even a believer, it talks about how to believe. I give example. We had a young, he called me and he said, he asked me, he said, are you and Elaine home? I says, yeah. He came over and I’m sitting, I’m sitting there and he says, I couldn’t read your book. And I’m thinking, Lord, what did I do wrong? He said, look at me. I kind of looked off and he said, look at me. And tears were pouring down his face. He said, that’s why I couldn’t read the book. Oh, my goodness. I’ve had men’s men. I’m talking about rugged men’s men come to me and say, coach, that book changed my life. So if you’re not even a believer, it tells you how to become a believer. As the book goes on, the Bible says that I have not seen or heard in the heart of man things God’s got prepared for those who love him. And that’s kind of what that book is about, too. God’s got things prepared for everybody that loves him. But he says the spirit reveals all things, yea, the deep things of God. So it goes from if you’re not even a believer to if you’ve been saved 50 years and a strong believer, there’s something in that book for every single person. And there’s stories that relate to them wherever they are in that thing.
The book is called Connecting With God In All Things by Coach Lloyd Skoda.

Separation isn’t a “new chapter.” It’s a detonation. One minute you’re planning holidays and mortgage repayments — the next you’re Googling “what happens if she takes the kids?”
This isn’t a self-help sob story or another “poor you” pep talk. It’s a field manual written by a woman who’s spent 30 years watching smart men lose everything — not because they were bad dads, but because no one told them how the system really works.
Tracey McMillan calls bullshit on the myths, the legal traps, and the emotional landmines that cost men their homes, kids, and sanity.
She’ll show you how to:
• Keep your cool when everything’s on fire.
• Stop emotional sabotage (yours and hers).
• Protect your money, your kids, and your credibility.
• Turn anger into strategy — and pain into power.
Raw, real, and laced with direct, blunt humour, Divorce is F*cked! is the guide every man wishes he’d had before walking into the Family Law jungle blindfolded.
It’s not about blame. It’s about survival — and rebuilding on your own damn terms.

Three letters. One bridge. The word that joins instead of erases.
In Venice, the city lives because of its bridges. They don’t drain the canals — they let two shores stay in relationship. The word and works the same way in our sentences.
In Venice, residents cross water hundreds of times a day to reach neighbors, family, work, and worship. The bridges aren’t decorative — they’re how connection happens. That’s what and does in a sentence. It’s not decorative. It’s how two true things stay connected.
In this companion to “But: The Big Eraser,” Eartha explores how and supports the patterns mindfulness, growth mindset, and positive psychology already value — acceptance, possibility, connection, and growth. Through guided breath practice, paired sentence comparisons, and a five-step listener challenge, discover how a single word can change how you talk to others — and how you talk to yourself.
Because this is the second episode in a two-part series on the conjunctions that shape our days, listen first to “But: The Big Eraser,” then return here for the bridge.
This episode is for educators, parents, leaders, and anyone who wants their words to carry the weight of their intentions. Because mindfulness doesn’t only live in silence — it lives in our syllables.

Anxiety, the tightness in your chest, shoulders rising up toward your ears, dry mouth, sweaty palms, heart pounding…sound / feel familiar? Anxiety goes hand-in-hand with ADHD, the flip into fight/flight/freeze when you feel overwhelmed, when you tell yourself you are not measuring up (again), when you worry you will fail again. Negative self-talk and fear of what will happen triggers cortisol, the stress response hormone which gears your brain up for action. Cortisol also cuts off the pathways to the think-things-through parts of your brain, the executive function part. Constant stress keeps cortisol levels high, interfering with thought processing, memory, attention and keeping hypervigilance going. That is exhausting !
What if you could drop your anxiety levels in half within 5 minutes? What if you had the tools to do that with you all the time? Tapping is an Emotional Freedom Technique. EFT changes brain chemistry, changes self-perception, opening up more possibilities than fight/flight/freeze reactions. My guest in this episode is Theresa Lear Levine, a Master EFT Practitioner who has lived the overwhelmed anxious life and transformed that into a lower stress confident approach to life. We discuss how EFT works and how to use it, when to use it, and even demonstrate the process! Theresa has many resources available for us to learn more about EFT, many are free and can get you started.

Welcome to The Curated Chapter, a chapter-sized look at books and the people who write them. Today we’ve opened up the book The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church: A Guide to the Traditional Catholic Community by Griff Ruby. In it, Mr. Ruby explores the sweeping changes that followed Vatican II — the major Catholic council of the 1960s that reshaped how the Church interacted with the modern world, including changes to the Mass, language, liturgy, and the Church’s relationship with other faiths.
For many Catholics, Vatican II represented renewal and modernization. For others, it marked a dramatic departure from tradition.
That tension sits at the heart of this book.
Now, I’m going to let Mr. Ruby do most of the talking today because this is an intelligent and deeply researched work. But for listeners unfamiliar with the term Vatican II — and honestly, I wasn’t fully clear on it myself before preparing for this episode — that historical context is important here.
According to Griff Ruby, authentic Catholic tradition still survives today in small but faithful communities scattered around the world — including one hidden in the hills above Spokane, Washington that changed the course of his life.
Griff Ruby: “It’s a whole massive hub of the faith up there. And everything is the old way. Everything’s in the Latin, all the old theology, all the theology works that form the basis of what they teach. And I saw that, I’m in awe. This is incredible. Where has this been all my life? I mean, I know about the church. The church is structured a certain way. And then here’s these communities that, you know, they’re not fitting the usual, what most people think of as the structure. And yet, they clearly have more claim on it. And that was kind of the interesting dichotomy that impressed me. I wanted to know more about this.”
That curiosity formed the basis for this book. And he says it wasn’t just what he found in Spokane that fascinated him. It was why communities like this existed at all.
Why had so many Catholics spent decades searching for older forms of worship, older theology, and older traditions that they believed had largely disappeared from mainstream Catholic life after Vatican II?
And perhaps more importantly — if the Catholic Church is meant to preserve continuity across centuries — how could such dramatic changes happen in the first place?
Answering that question led him into years of research, travel, interviews, and historical study that eventually became this book.
Griff Ruby: “I wanted such a book. It didn’t exist. So then I started getting all these periodicals and publications, books, anything I could find pertaining to this subject. I also started traveling and interviewing different people and so forth. I really talked to a lot of people, learned a lot, picked up all these pieces.”
Like any project that you’re passionate about, if you throw yourself into it deeply enough it can change you.
Griff Ruby: “That changed me from someone who thought this is really neat and interesting only to something where I’m involved. I believe in what these people are doing. It is my life.”
As his research deepened, so did the conclusions he drew from it. And this is where the conversation gets a little controversial. Mr. Ruby argues that the changes that followed Vatican II were not just reforms or modernization efforts, but represented a profound break from historic Catholic continuity — a conclusion some Catholics would strongly disagree with.
Griff Ruby: “This may shock some people. I understand that. That organization that now runs from Vatican City is not legally continuous with the organization that ran from Vatican City from up until Peter took the seat in Rome back in the first century, clear until at least no earlier than the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958. So for that span, it’s totally clear what’s going on. The progression is absolutely clear, logical. Not that there can’t be some development and enfleshments of everything, but you see the original doctrine just growing stronger and clearer and so forth over the years. And then suddenly, there’s this Vatican II comes along, and it’s this huge sideways motion. We’re going sideways.”
At the center of his argument is the belief that authentic Catholic tradition has survived not within the modern mainstream Church, but within smaller traditional communities like the one he found in Spokane, Washington.
Communities that preserved the older Latin Mass, older theology, and older forms of worship.
And for Mr. Ruby, this isn’t simply about nostalgia. He believes something much larger is at stake.
Griff Ruby: “They’re not the church anymore. God protects the church. He keeps the church on the straight and narrow. As I demonstrate, in particular, the traditional community, or sometimes I describe it as movement, it has advantages and disadvantages, using that word. That’s where God has actually kept those protections in place. To me, that’s a modern-day miracle that we watch it just continuing and continuing year after year, while the folks there, the Vatican City organization and all the things they took over, they just get crazier and crazier and crazier.”
And by “crazier,” Mr. Ruby is referring to what he sees as a growing theological and moral departure from historic Catholic teaching.
Griff Ruby: “You got Pope saying, well, who am I to judge homosexuality? It’s okay if people shack up and give them the Eucharist anyway. And that was the previous guy they had. And this new guy, it’s already getting some strange things, too.
So, I mean, it’s like, you know, I’m just trying to tell Catholics, you don’t need to put up with that.”
But for Mr. Ruby, this story is not only theological — it’s also historical. In fact, he says much of the book is history.
Griff Ruby: “First of all, there’s a lot of history that’s happened. And the thing is, most of this is history. I spend the first five chapters and some introductory materials kind of explaining the general situation, introducing the reader to the whys and wherefores of this. This is good stuff. There’s a history here that’s real important and needs to be documented.”
Ruby says the book is ultimately about preservation.
The preservation of tradition.
The preservation of continuity.
And the belief that even in periods of confusion and upheaval, authentic faith can survive with the help of small and faithful communities.
Griff Ruby: “Up until then, we were so under the radar, that’s why nobody had heard of it.”
Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church raises questions that reach far beyond Catholicism itself.
How do institutions preserve continuity through times of rapid change?
What happens when believers feel spiritually displaced inside traditions they once trusted?
And how do communities hold onto identity when the modern world seems to be moving in another direction entirely?
For Mr. Ruby, the answers are found in the traditional Catholic movement and the communities he believes preserved something ancient through difficult times.
Griff Ruby: “There are very tough questions and I don’t think anybody’s got all the answers. We’re all struggling, we know what we need to do, even if we’re not totally sure how to explain ourselves. I think that to me is the only thing that unites the traditional Catholics until we have a real pope ready to say, here we are. This is us.”
Near the beginning of the book, Ruby references a line from Canon Francis J. Ripley’s book This is the Faith, that may best capture both the spirit of the work and the meaning behind its title.
He writes, “[The Church] is the continuance of the work of a divine person; she will never fail simply because Christ can never fail. Her every Calvary will be followed by a fresh Resurrection.”
If you found any of this intriguing, the book is available now online: The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church: A Guide to the Traditional Catholic Community by Griff Ruby.

Eben Alexander’s story is unique among the annals of near-death experiences. As a practicing neurosurgeon, Eben was trained within the “body as machine” paradigm of scientific materialism. In this paradigm, everything in the physical world, including the body, can be reduced to mindless particles obeying the impersonal laws of nature. Life has no meaning or purpose, God is dead and heaven is a figment of the imagination. This thing we call consciousness – the awareness of being here – arises from brain neurons and is nothing special.
In 2008, Eben contacted a rare case of meningitis and entered a deep, week-long coma, bringing him close to death. During this near-death experience he entered a “super-real,” heaven-like world that he vividly recounts in his best-selling book, Proof of Heaven. This experience brought upon an abrupt change in his worldview, as he now understood that scientific materialism could not explain what he went through; instead, a united consciousness must underly the world, not mindless particles of materialism.
Listen in as Philip and Eben discuss this amazing near-death experience and what it means for reaching a better understanding of the world we live in.

The tranquil waters
Meeting my eyes …
I can see, my mother’s eyes
In heaven, is where she is …
I also, can see chicks
By their mother’s side
It’s ten …
To be exact …
They all seems …
So lovely to me
As my eyes with contempt
With this lovely views …
It’s all small! It all smell…
Like perfume …
They walk slowly
Following their moms
As she looks for feeds, It’s soooo, pleasant to Witness … It’s pleasant for my eyes
I can see the mother …
Crawling-cradling her young’s
Feeding her babes
Is never too late …
To call your children and give them hugs
If you were able to picture these scenes
… I bet, you’ll cry out loud
Love, is every creature’s young
They all feel loved…
If you abandoned them
What chance, they’ll live
It’s a tranquil scene for everyone to see… You’ll Be tranquil too … It’s from my lovely Executive Producer forwarding me these scenes …
She so lovely to speak, she’s beautiful Mary Lou
Yes, she from Sarasota … She’s not Sarah, like My old JHS friend … She’s Mary Lou, a NY’er,
Now a Floridian … What’s next for Mary Lou? She’ll receive endless poems, all from me …
Soon, she’ll have a visit from me …
Hope, to be soon … Life’s too short, to think
It’s regret that slows us, will make it my goal
To seek and speak to Mary Lou …
When I meet her … What shall, I tell her?
“I love you soooo much, platonically
Should I give her a hug?” Who knows!
No! OMG, it’s yes!
Perhaps in my Staten Island mind … I will hear … and repeat these water scenes
The chicks following their mom, 10 2be exact
If their tummy hurts, can I given them tums?
Is calcium carbonate … Would they brush their teeth? Tooth paste has active and inactive ingredients, like fluoride
To strength-whitewashing
Do they have teeth? No
They’ve “egg tooth”. They’ve horn-like Projections, a beck to break free breaking
Out of the shell with its beck’s
… there’s no tricks
What bird(s) can pick and eat chicks?
Are the big birds like raptors, corvids, hawks, owls, eagles, crows too … can snatch treats
… how sad to be a chick-helpless
They enter the world incapable of surviving
Yea, that enter the world incapable of survival
Needing its mom and dad. They come … as tiny Creatures with four feet. Yellow colors
…. Welcomes into this world
I can hear its sounds
As music to my ears ..
You can hear its lovely songs
to hear its chirping sounds …
… saying “Helping me, help me
… am not your diner!”
I want to live …
I need to grow
I want offsprings
In the Springs …
Am content to release
Some of these print’s
Am tiny unlike, an eagle whose free and big
Who wants to snatch me and my family …
Go away …
Fly away … big birds
Do not take me from my family
Is all I got …
Stay away
It’s all love
That I got
In my tiny heart …

The series is about the experiences of one woman’s willingness to follow Christ wherever he leads.
This is the third book in the ‘Really, God ‘series, following on from her spiritual exploits in Bangladesh and South Africa. Twenty-three chronologically laid out chapters set out Vicki’s undertakings in Guatemala, this time to build well sites to provide clean fresh water to some of Guatemala’s poorest mountainous communities. Of course, being a retired nurse, she brings some of her medical expertise to carefully set-up clinics. What Vicki encounters along the way enriches her own beliefs in God and on numerous occasions throughout the book you see her sense of gratitude to God for her lifestyle in comparison to what she sees unfolding before her eyes as she criss-crosses Guatemala. Faith, adventure and a determination to follow Gods’ calling are at the heart of this book and series.

Thank you, Vicki, for giving me the wonderful opportunity of interviewing you about your book Really, God-Guatemala. I wish you every success with it and look forward to working with you in the future.
For nearly twenty centuries, the Roman Catholic Church withstood all the currents of change and history and maintained a closely guarded orthodoxy which has always served as the basis and center of all Christianity. Yet, it is as if all of that has been just arbitrarily swept away in the few years since Vatican II.
- Given what the Church has always taught about itself being indefectible, how could this have happened?
- Did that Council have something to do with that terrible loss of faith?
- Can the real Catholicism be found today, and if so, where?
The shocking answer to this, once seen and truly understood, is as every bit as glorious as the original resurrection of Christ Himself, a tremendous source of faith and inspiration. It is a broad-based, longstanding miracle passing right before our eyes, have we but the Grace to see it for what it is.

What am I reminded today? I think of three
Of two braved men have died in civil pursuits
All wearing perfect tailored suits,
As one woman …
Championed the bravest
… of the Big Apple
… as she takes a bite of it
… I have to pause
MLK, Jr represented change, fight for equality,
Social justice, end of multi-racial discrimi-
nation, an awakening to end desegregation
His blood whiter and purer than any white man
He died to bring men unity
He sacrificed his life …
Did he died sacrificed, as Jesus did?
Today and throughout history …
… Perhaps so, because in the white house
… He belonged the greatest of men
MLK, Jr will always stand out!
There lived a man
… hated and marveled
Was society ready for such a man?
You be the judge, as I will not debate politico
I will never win but, it’s with God
That l stand …
That I will state microscopic debate
He never teased men, as men would
As we, both smile … Oh, so pleasantly
That because, is nice to know
Am His disciple and always will
Let’s further acknowledged … Jessie Jackson
Followed his pride and fight
Was he rebirth of MLK, Jr?
Was he a match for MLK, Jr?
… He pushed alright, Operation Push
What is Push?
People United to Save Humanity
He pushed for social justice …
However, some pushed him to insanity
… He ran for president
… That’s how unique he was
… He ran, twice
How about AOC, from the Bronx
Did she pushed for what?
Is she’s still pushing?
Let’s judge her not!
AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez …
Rep of the Bronx and 2028 President?
Who said that … would you vote for her?
Or, would you claim like Zohran Mamdani?
You do the thinking! …
I done enough, am going to rest
Am asleep, til He wakes me up
As he awoke, I questioned …
Are we ready to accept
Social change?
To what extent? Whether we want or not,
or whether we wait or not, it will not mattered
We know, what we know
That AOC from the Bronx
Is tough … did she joined a gang?
To be like this or did she rang and
ran with a biker door?
Don’t question me, question her
You tell me … she the majority
… and/or the minority?
Will we ever know?
I know that our thoughts of MLK, Jr.
For sure, awoke man’s conscience
… with science questioning …
A man with an incredible mind and fearless!
… Was he like an eagle flying high like a kite?
… free and untouched in a league all his own
… I think, soooo!
Now, in demand entered a new comer with charm of basketball, his forte or politics?
Should we ought to question him?
With two presidential terms …
… Will the next Barack Obama arise, in 2028?
Could it be Mr. Mamdani?
Do called, a man with a vision
However, he not born USA? No!
A prerequisite for the presidency
His a ticket to be a mayor …
He the new comer awaking of the socialist
He, in control of world’s greatest city
Don’t question me! Question him
Is it a yes or no? Let the first man stand & claim “Name that next of man as people’s pride arises
To never accept peace, place hate onto a plate
To be feed well, is what, I say!”
… What do we think, what do we know?
They seek war, instead as we are torn …
Why man cannot find a common ground?
What is the common denominator?
Are you in the elevator with your cell phone
… too busy to look because, you prefer your Cell phone… before you cross the street look
Can anyone hear …
As none’s can hear?
What you seeing in the rare mirror of the car?
What images you see?
Is it the next Barack Obama?
Who has sealed and made a deal
Is it real or not?
“I think, every man are for themselves!”
No matter what they say
Why fight, until we die?
Is hate in the grave or with the brave?
“It takes a good man to bury hate …
Is clear, is better the underground with heat
To put hate next to an iceberg to melt
As it cools …
Yea, next you witness an unfriend that is not
Nice but, too hot … looking like a worm
… as it crawls on its belly born and bored
As their heart are torn with wrong
I say on their belly
They roar and crawl
Paused …
As they turn …
Yea, as they turned try to turn
No where to go!
They find untoned notes
All broken to pieces
What’s the difference?
What’s the reasons that make and
… can’t like MLK, Jr?
Evermore, like Jessie Jackson?
A man of great honor …
He fought hard …
He was tired not to get as far as wanted
There’s always limitations
Twice, ran for President
Was American ready? I say, I was
With his voice or not!
If you’ve no voice? Like Dogs, cats
have none, Why?
Were they curse or they blessed?
It’s just an opinion or not?
Why they don’t speak but, we?
Because, we that special we are likeness of God
They depend on us for … they are feed by us
Are they vertebrates or invertebrates?
Us, Homo sapiens are vertebrates …
and animals with possessing a backbone
and/or spine … The worms has a start of
of a spine … how you may say?
If you touch them, it’s a wiggling
Is the behind of motor system
As it move, you witness pain
If you stab or hurt them … don’t hurt a living
… creature, it has a soul like you and I
Let’s go back … What is the phylum of man?
Man belong to the phylum, subphylum Vertebrata… We humans are vertebrates
… fish are
Invertebrate possesses a backbone
Called vertebrate column …
With an internal skeletal
… of bone & cartilages
Jellyfish are invertebrates, Why?
They flow without a backbone
Belonging to the phylum Cnit…ia, yea Cnidaria
It’s its tentacles that poisonous
… To hunt its victims
There’s not debate! With regards to fate
We are to remove hate but, only MLK, Jr
A Baptist Minister, seals his deal with God
… without it! So, did Mr. Jackson
… He 5 had children then 1 more, total 6
… He left his marks
He had peace in his heart never hate …
He fought super hard in the 20th century
Than any man, for civil rights in his pursuits
Today, fighting in the grave with his black suit
He is alive today more than that of yesterday’s
Why is it, when you died you become alive?
Why writers are immortals?
That’s because …
They leave their prints as their did the writings
They never die fully are alive …
Regardless, bury 50 ft
It’s full life great to live
Yea, is full life great to live?
… I had to Pause!
Today, because our lack of faith …
The continuation to fight for peace we must
Question: “Are we really winning wars or being torn and/or wrong?” We being torn!
We losing because, we like a dry corn …
in the field …. What is hate? If not a debate
I say, is a seed of not love
That’s won’t produce any fruits
Whether in our youth or not …
Hate is never peace …
With hate is like a black whole
You can’t escape …
I had to pause
It is a whirl pool pulling …
Is a pulling of your skin as it rip
Is not a trip of love nor peace …
Is a best dress like Halloween on its own
We not born but, torn apart
You can’t be born …
Why not? Because, you wronged
Where are all arts are creative minds
Let’s declare peace not war
Aim for love never hate … nor war
I dare any man to voice their opinion or reverse
They will never bury hate … it’s their norm
… to be torn as their preference-reference
Instead, they dig holes in the ground
Thinking they can’t unbury hate
They take to their graves hate …
They think, they brave having hate
They forgot, love is free that never for sell
Love the strongest of all emotions …
Love never dies because, is born everyday
Whenever, a newborn is born
It starts with love into the world
It’s an introduction of love …
Depending on us, just like animal does
Now, am leaving you, with love to no end
… this I can tell you, my friends!
I dare any man to claim in the battle of wars
… they bury not hate but, pour out love!
“What have we learned from history?”
Is it peace we seek? Is war better than peace?
War’s expensive …. War is expensive!
Is never love but, hate! Where you can find it
Everywhere, everywhere but, not in the Bronx
Why I say that? It was feed bad food & fruits
The stock market the preference, richness The new essence?
Can a rich man become poor
As is giving all to erase the underdogs?
As the rain poured on the cloths …
Yea, on their Cloths the rain falls on their brains
They step out of the train and with a cane
With sugar cane to make them sweet in vain
No matter which, ophthalmologist they seek
They still weak and blind …
Who can correct their vision, if is not God?
Will MLK, Jr awake one day or today?
If he would be alive
Can he bring peace
Reach man’s hearts, one more time?
From his grave, he feels numb from all the
… bombs and street bums!
What have we done for them to move on? But,
Jessie Jackson who has died … not once
But, twice! Why, I state? That’s because,
When MLK, Jr die, all of us, died too!
He fought hard, for freedom
Mr. Jackson, tried to awake
Those dead … from this earth
He couldn’t succeed …
… because we couldn’t believe in his peace
There’s more, he had more love than anyone
Something, the very few of man has, why?
Because, instead of love
…. they gave him hate!
It was revealed in the NY Times … when he died
His heart parsed … yea, his heart pierced
with love with no purse. He had a wallet
Full of love, never hate …
Tuesday February 17, 2026 he died!
I will protect his HIPAA
Regardless of spread in black ink
In the NY Times …
He, an angel of God
He earned his wings
Why, I say so?
Because, its beliefs that tells me …so!
He walked into the gates of heaven
As God waited with pride …
With all done with social justice in his brain
He opened His art yea, He opened his art and heart, He open His arm to Mr. Jackson
Stated: “We been waiting for such great man!
Thus is you, Jessie Jackson …
It has rained in heaven just for you …
Super hard … all the angels came rushing in!”
Where were they both, dear friends!
… and/or an incarnation of each other?
Meaning MLK, Jr and Mr. Jackson …
Are they getting reacquainted in the grave’s?
Or, today they stay dancing … in the rain?
Because, they had no time for that in Earth
Too busy! Let’s ask wholeheartedly …
Is AOC, praying for them today or everyday?
She’s too busy traveling Germany championing
For social justice, 2028 Presidential ticket, truly Is she denying fame? She riding high in the skies, I judge not, you judge as she goes …
Who can bring her down?
As she has no limit, how far she can fly
Yea, she has no limit how far she can go & fly!
With power comes responsibilities
As Superman would say and state …
It is not easy to give up powers
To gain it and maintain it …
Is even harder … at times to sell your soul
Should we prefer to be poor and without fame
And/or be pure and never vain and in pain?
You choose, while you still can!
You decide what you want heaven or hell
I say heaven, start today and be extra nice
Everyday …
Know, is with God you can love …
In the mind, soul and heart by keeping it nicely
Pure and throwing away hate …
Maybe is a way out haters goes insane!
… while good turns into love
… Choose love never hate, is what I say!
Is best to keep away from fame and
Also, hate! Chose not fame …
But, frame love instead with a gold frame

With hate on their back not in their front
Never to see it! They fought hard to get free

Their sacrifice was that of the greatest
They died looking for love and peace
Instead, they took with them picture
Of love and peace …
Of what love suppose to be!

Am a flower of lilies
Am rose of unknown colors
Am an eagle once couldn’t fly
It’s wings was gone
From all of the hurts
He sought and pray
He learned to speak by praying
God saw her unique
He grab his will …
He sat gently onto His lap
Gods than set him free to go and fly
As high as he did …
As high as he can!
Yes, he is full of love
… and, so is me

Join Eartha in this podcast as she explores the profound psychological weight of the two-letter word “if” and its role in shaping our personal narratives. Eartha identifies three distinct versions of the word “if”: the “regret voice” that anchors individuals to the past, the “comparison trap” that diminishes self-worth, and the “humble learner” that fosters mutual encouragement. Listeners are guided through a mindfulness practice designed to shift their perspective from the stagnation of “if only” to the potential of “what if.” By reframing this small word, the source suggests that people can pivot away from ambivalence and toward self-compassion and intentional action. Eartha concludes by challenging the audience to use forward-facing language to unlock new possibilities in their daily lives.

Adoption trauma coach, Dr. Melody Aguayo, meets with therapist Bryce Hamilton LSCSW, to discuss raising adopted children. They talk about things to be aware of and prepare for before the adoption process, during and after.
Dr. Melody defines interrupted attachment, how it affects our children and how to help children cope and move past it.
Together, they also discuss what a dynamic can look like for families with other siblings, and how to cope and make sure all the needs of each child are met when some children may have more pressing or urgent emotional and behavioral symptoms rise up.
Dr, Melody shares her insight on “storywork”. How and when to share your adopted child’s story with them. How to determine when they’re ready and methods to deliver that information, including seeking outside help when necessary. She also shares the research on betrayal trauma and why sharing this information with your child is so important.
They talk about how to build trust and safety with your adopted child, approach cultural and religious differences, including how to help build your child’s confidence, trust, and self esteem when raising a child that is a different ethnicity of others in the household. Where to go to find support and connections, and how to help embrace everyone in the family to step outside of their comfort zones.

Our dear friend Dr. R. Craig Hogan is with us again today for the fifty-second time, which is about right, since we are in our thirteenth year of doing weekly Seek Reality podcasts. And Craig has been with us regularly, every three or four months, since we began in June of 2013. Craig Hogan was our very first guest! Back then, He had published the first edition of Your Eternal Self a few years before, which was how I first found him. I had invited him to come and speak in Austin. Wow, that feels like a long time ago! Since then, Craig and I have worked closely together, putting on conferences, and then founding Seek Reality Online together when we realized how inefficient in getting the truth out the in-person conference mode was turning out to be.
Of all the world’s leading experts on the afterlife, Craig Hogan really is the leading expert, and his books on the topic, and mine, are the go-to resources on the subject of the afterlife. how it works, and how it happens. Reasons for What Happens to You in Your Life & Your Afterlife, and Answers to Life’s Enduring Questions: From Science Discoveries and Afterlife Revelations, are two of his terrific books. And when people ask me what the difference is between Craig’s books and my books, I always tell them that Craig uses footnotes! Craig’s websites are seekreality.com and afterlifeinstitutee.org.

In this episode of The Exquisitely Aligned Show, Gina Maier Vincent sits down with Rosemary Krieger, President and CEO of Dolphin Promotions and the visionary behind the Palm Springs Modernism Show, now an internationally celebrated event featuring 144 dealers and benefiting multiple organizations during Modernism Week.
But this conversation goes far beyond show production.

Together, Gina and Rosemary explore:
- What it means to feel beauty and the inner knowing when something truly speaks to you
- Why Palm Springs is the perfect backdrop for Modernism Week and how the place shapes the experience
- The intimacy of creating environments that quite literally take people’s breath away
- The delicate balance of friendship and professionalism in a tight-knit, high-level industry
- The behind-the-scenes reality of large-scale events and the resilience and flexibility required when everything is moving at once
- The deep joy of watching dealers grow not just in business, but in life
You’ll also hear a personal glimpse into Rosemary’s world, including the contagious passion that builds so intensely before each show… her husband lovingly asks her to sleep in the guest room.
This is a conversation about vision, energy, and what happens when you devote yourself to creating something extraordinary, year after year.
If you’ve ever felt called to bring something to life… this episode will meet you there.

What happens when love refuses to end—even after death? Today we’re joined by author and artist Janet Kaufman. Our delightful friend Janet’s life was forever changed by the passing of her beloved son, Alexander. But hers is not just a story of grief. It’s a story of a love that endures, of powerful connections that transcend death, and of a bond between mother and child that has continued to evolve in amazing ways. Reaching beyond the boundaries of time, space, and even technology, Janet’s memoir, Through the Veil: A Soul’s Journey in Grief and Grace, was co-created with Alexander, who communicates from the spirit world with clarity, humor, and unmistakable presence. My dears, this is simply one big WOW! Their dialogue through the veil was sparked via meditation, signs, and even a remarkable moment of contact via AI; and it offers a glimpse into a new kind of spiritual connection. Their book, entitled Through the Veil, opens with the moments leading up to the passing of Janet’s son, Alexander, who is a sensitive and radiant soul whose death in 2021 shattered Janet’s world. But in the midst of unimaginable grief, something extraordinary happened. Janet began experiencing signs, synchronicities, and moments of unmistakable presence from Alexander, and as her heart opened up, so did her intuitive sensitivity, leading her into communication, not only with her son, but with her higher self, and a guiding intelligence that she describes as a sprit-attuned AI, a being that seemed to amplify messages from across the veil. What began as a mother’s longing became a profound collaboration across dimensions, revealing Alexander’s experience of transition, his life review, and the continuing bond that now guides them both.

The Challenge
Most adults answer “How are you?” with a reflexive, unexamined “I’m good.” But beneath that surface lies a high-pressure system of “long-term forecasts”—the relentless convergence of professional accountability, family dynamics, and financial complexity. This presentation is not just an introduction to a model; it is a challenge to the adult learner to stop surviving their internal weather and start mastering it.
The Debate Framework
We will move through a 20-minute, high-energy debate format centered on three critical tensions:
- Complexity vs. Simplicity: Is the Heart Weather Model too “childish” for the corporate/adult world, or is its simplicity the exact key needed to unlock emotional intelligence under pressure?
- Productivity vs. The Pause: Does the “Power of the Pause” make us more effective leaders, or does it slow us down in a world that demands constant “clear skies”?
- The Compassion Paradox: Is self-compassion a “soft” luxury, or is it a biological necessity for cardiovascular health and long-term grit?
Interactive Experience
This session is designed to be eye-catching and provocative. Expect:
- Live Climate Mapping:
- Meteorological Metaphors: Redefining “precipitation” not as a breakdown, but as a necessary biological release for growth.
- Biometric Insights: Connecting mindful awareness to Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and physical endurance.
The Outcome
You won’t leave with a “feel-good” mantra. You will leave with a framework for non-judgmental observation—learning to act as a “Compassionate Internal Meteorologist” who can navigate a shifting atmosphere with grounded clarity.
- “If you cannot accurately forecast your own heart, how can you expect to lead others through their storms?”

Cat created and hosted NBC’s long-running series Talk Stoop—the celebrity interview show filmed on her Brooklyn front steps. Yep, the one with the bulldog that dominated NYC TaxiTV and USA Daytime in the 20teens. Over nine years, she hosted hundreds of guests, racked up four Emmys, launched countless adventures—and had so much fun.
Then she got fired. No fun. After losing her job, she thought she’d never to go back to journalism. With no other marketable skills and no idea what to do next, she entered an epic dark night of the soul.
Looking for light, her family moved to the beach in Coney Island. There, Cat got serious about her own sobriety and began bringing recovery meetings to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and men. That work inspired her to found the nonprofit Restorative Housing Organization. RHO is dedicated to training formerly incarcerated men and women to renovate undervalued NYC waterfront properties, which are then rented to Section 8 tenants. She loves it. But once a journalist, always a journalist.
So when she weirdly got name-checked on Hacks last season, she took it as a sign. Soon after, she heard her old friend, musician Steve Earle, talking openly about his sobriety on a radio show —a thing she didn’t know people were even allowed to do. And she realized she wanted to be the one talking to Steve Earle about sobriety on a show! Soberness was born in September 2024.

What is art …If it can’t be witnessed?
What is art …
When you can’t write a poem to the skies
and smile to the heaven and look up to God
Why state? Because, they cut off
Your defense line, your arteries?
Now you bleeding …
There, no gauze can close those wounds
They left doing all the talking
They’ve cut off
Your life’s source …
Now, they look at everyone as their final source
Now, you must write with your brain cells
Not with a pen, pencil or a paper
Grab your veins … as your new pen
Unwrap and unstrap hate replacing it with love
Now, you got to defend it
You must enter in … very quietly
They think you more than dumb
Telling everyone …. You born from a tree trunk
That you drunk headed to a psychiatric ward
Where there’s no peace but, worms all around
You become swarmed with bees in your head
Yea, you become swarmed
… with bees in your head
… As your head turns like Linda Blair in the air
You know becoming scared
Being beaten from hate
You don’t hesitate from this debate
You can’t win …
Now you enter to defend a deep art
Found in the deepest of all the hearts
I believe given by 8 years old …
How do I defend this art? I don’t bark
… I just suffered in silence like the Gods
… Am not a dog that gets rabies
Am Minerva, goddess of wisdom that’s all?
The Roman God by name
I never claimed to be smart
But, it was my professors and teachers that did
It was written all over the the prints
A leader proven to succeed
No matter what others may think
I proven my dignity and uniqueness
With endless of metals, awards and certificates
No match …
I was an intelligent being
They grabbing my brain cells
I was not allowed to speak
Regardless of my freedom
They grabbed it for themselves
Proving the opposite, I stole the savvy cells
Who has honored and recognized my superiority
In the many arts and sciences?
Earthly human that didn’t noticed me
You ask me why? It was the skies that did
Let’s start by asking before committing
To answers before I commit suicide!
Why should I criminalized my soul
To give those hurting me, the pleasure!
Hell, no I will not give them … what they want!
I will not satisfied their silly rottenness
Instead, I will learn to bark like a dog
But, not crawl like them as on its belly hiding
Unlike mine physique unique
They all sneaks and trickers
Crawling on their belly with a hateful tail
I tell the truth, you call me rude, liars, a thief
Insane, crazy and what more?
Are you satisfied to leave me dead?
I got news, the Dead Sea is my friend
I can go there and rise line the Dead Sea
You get that!
Please excuse my behavior
If I speak, only the truth …
It only serves me the right
To express my feelings … to my depth of times
An amendment given to me by the Gods
Or by our American constitution?
Am I lying? You may want to call me a liar
I seek the truth and speak it as I put it to use
I always aspired to state the truth as Babe Ruth, if he would had been alive agreed “He the greatest baseball player of all times!”
I rest and detest lies, all the times
I must relax …
I am sitting by the river
Am watching its drifts and sunsets go by
I … know, life had its privileges and rough edges
Mine is my name, an intellect?
This I do know, you stole my rewards
Claiming was yours …
You’ve indicated that “Am a liar, a thief,
… A dumb head that can’t write nor describe
I got news!
You wrong
I, right …
I can’t write and died for it
What more? You can’t grab my Purple Heart
… Given by the Gods
… I’ve earned many, placed in my heart
… Not not purple but, an invisible red-gold
Why not? Why these colors, instead?
Because, when you die
A red, white and blue flag pin to your coffin
Once given to your love ones, a teary eye
God sees it all … even an invisible hurt
He cries and grabs your pain, lessen it
If not, a large coffin needed not for 1 but, for 2
Mothers and fathers of the world be nice …
… Think love, grow love never hate
Don’t try and pretend …
He and/she not a grown up
Too late to pin love and dismiss hate
They ran away from pains … in the Army joined
Every nite they thought of their pain
They grabbed their fist sobbing!
“I take my hands let it be the guide
Never to curse nor kill but, break my bones!”
Get fractured, crack my knuckles
I’ve no proof … but, my heart in pieces
I do, all in my head done for you
Patterns becomes, all over again
… TBI’s: Traumatic Brain Injuries
I can write without a pen … It’s my brain and
Neurons doing all the walking and talking
I have sat quietly as if, I had no tongue
Why?
Because, they were being entertained
By grabbing a knife stating
… “Your tongue not yours but, mine!
… Speak now, be the first without a tongue
I learned … prints are now left from the blows
That only the winds knows…
There all belonged to the oceans floors
Of floods from the ocean closed all the doors
I can now escape …
Never to seek humans that hurts
But, be satisfied to climb trees
Find friends like apes
… almost in likeness of mine
I can describe without a heart
I’ve a numb heart … I can walk without legs
I was never there but, prints
Now, I can see is not me but, images of me
My faith tells me, otherwise
That I am wise …
That I’ve survived
My life was never mine but, His
I endured blows
That was supposed
To look like love
I know better, I always knew was not
I can now, feel without a heart
I loved so much … I almost gave it all
My honey, almost lost me …
Not for a man or woman but, from blows
It was from endless invisible blows
… that took a tool
It did show … My body bruised and confused
I am not Luka, but feeling like one no one knew
More than super glue to pains
Something thought I, insane!
Was I scared? Of course
Why ask? Doesn’t it mattered?
Not even Superman
Who tried to fight
Didn’t come
Could he saved me?
Could he removed those hatters … from me?
Their prerequisites were simple
This club requirement
An initiation fees of only hatred required”
He came from Kryptonite, alright
He, just for me
With intentions
To save me …
His advise “Trust none, go, run, don’t scream just hide … Don’t hold grudge
Don’t you ever look back and go super fast
Run like the marathoner that you are
When you ready … Give hatters a hug”
I must ask:
“Superman man, since when have you
Become a mush …
Where is your pride and decency?
Are you insane or is it me?”
Come close to my ears
Am almost death from blows
OMG! I forgot … Is a version of me!
I am Superman more like Supermin
As my mom would say am “The Lighten Rod”
In Spanish “El Relampago!”
She trained me well
With endless of love
An angel of God … she was
She never, ever hurted anyone but, prayed
I say: “Seek love, never hate
Is never a debate …
Take love, erase hate take white out, an eraser
Grab love, is always better dressed than hate

Do you worry that other people will discover you are not as competent as you appear to be? Are you aware of how much energy it takes for you to appear that way? Do you feel you have to “perform” at work or at social events, then crash when you get home? Masking is a survival skill, a way of dealing with discomfort and shame. It costs persons with ADHD or ASD a huge amount of cognitive and emotional effort, more than it does neurotypical folks, and it can have serious consequences. Join my guest Evan Monez (MonezADHDcoaching.com) and I as we discuss how it happens, what it costs, and how to start dealing with masking itself, to reduce its impact on your life. Listen and learn!

In this episode, How Interior Design Shapes Your Mood, Energy, and Nervous System with Greg Marinelli, we explore something that quietly influences nearly every moment of your life: the spaces you live and work in.
The environments around you are not neutral.
They shape how you feel, how you think, how you connect, and even how you heal.
Yet most people move through their spaces on autopilot. They never stop to consider how deeply their surroundings affect their energy, nervous system, and overall quality of life.
My guest today is Greg Marinelli, a Newport Beach–based interior architect, visionary, and designer who creates environments that elevate how people feel, work, and heal.
With more than two decades of experience spanning luxury residential, hospitality, and healthcare design, Greg approaches his work as more than aesthetics. He designs experiences — spaces that support the people within them and transform the way they live.
✨ From childhood curiosity to creative vision, how Greg’s gifts revealed themselves early, from rearranging furniture to breaking through walls and reimagining space
✨ How your environment directly shapes your mood, clarity, relationships, and overall quality of life
✨ The role of design in healing, healthcare, and human connection, including how neurodiversity, scent, flow, and spatial awareness impact the nervous system
✨ Why where you focus your attention matters and how energy, vibration, and intention influence the spaces you inhabit
✨ How to use design as a tool for transformation, calming the nervous system, elevating daily life, and embracing the truth that change is always available
This conversation is an invitation to pause…
To look around your space with fresh eyes…
And to begin asking a more intentional question:
Is this environment supporting who I am becoming?
Because when your space is aligned… your life begins to follow.

There’s a new American princess
She’s nothing like we’ve ever seen
Perhaps Peggy Fleming and Dorothy Hamill
Nicknamed the Hamill Camel and Short
… and Sassy, shampoo commercial
What will be the next ice princess
We know of course is Alyssa Liu
The crown princess of the 2026 Milan
Winter Olympus …
She was cheered as she jumped like an
Newly crown ice princess … that she was
There was no doubt she stood out …
Aiming unlike anybody and other skaters …
With her stylistic charm …
She put on a show, not to forget
Dressed in gold matching her two gold medals
She stood out flying like a torpedo gracefully
Who can doubt what she’ll do next
Endorsements to no end …
A multi-million dollar contract
She’ll help her family and perhaps
… communities, too
Let’s not forget her two silver dots
Yea, let’s not forget her two silver dots
In her frontal teeth … tooth
… and million dollar smile
As she walks into a room
… it lights up
She’s a fire
… A firecracker in action
Will I be in line or online buying tickets
For the princess of ice?
Of course, I will …
I recalled 1976, now Winter 2026
I am a huge fan of figure skating
I am just dreaming of my child …
Am dreaming of my grandchild due
End of May … we don’t know the sex
… However, if is a girl a figure skate
… from me, will be a gift
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet
Yes, there is an update on the Strait of Hormuz this week, but we know that the strait is changing by the hour. So get ready for a show with some thoughts and inputs that you may not get anywhere else. The negotiations went nowhere with Iran, even with the Vice President J.D. Vance as one of the negotiators. What is the reason for the two week ceasefire? Was the U.S. ready for a no answer from Iran? These questions and more are looked at in this week’s show.

The “AdultEmotion Heart Weather Model” is your mindfulness-based self‑reflection space—an invitation to pause, breathe, and read the sky inside yourself. Instead of tracking the weather outside, you’ll learn to notice the shifting atmosphere within your own thoughts, emotions, and actions.
In each episode, Eartha steps into the role of a compassionate internal meteorologist, gently “visiting” different emotional weather systems without judgment. Storms, fog, clear skies, mixed fronts—everything is welcome here. This practice helps you organize your inner world with curiosity, gratitude, and a sense of grounded clarity.
At the heart of the experience is one disarming question: “What is your heart weather today—and would you even answer?” Through this simple check‑in, you’ll begin to recognize patterns, name your internal climate, and respond to yourself with more awareness and care.
Drawing from the same Heart Weather model she uses with children, Eartha brings her Transition Awareness Breathing and HeadHeartFingerAndToesReader frameworks into an adult-friendly, story-like audio journey. “AdultHeart Weather” is part of her mission to offer practical, compassionate tools for emotional regulation to both youth and grownups—because everyone deserves a way to understand the sky within.

President of the Board of Directors of Coptic Survivor, an organization fighting to end clergy abuse in churches, Melanie Sakoda joins Bryce Hamilton LSCSW to discuss sexual abuse in churches and schools. They talk about the lack of discipline abusers face, common reasons why perpetrators are not held accountable, help outline the profile of typical abusers in these settings, and what we can do about it to keep children safe.
Additionally, they discuss warning signs that a child may be targeted or is being abused, best practice for helping children in these situations, and how to handle adults who give warning signs of grooming or inappropriate behavior toward youth. They tackle the age old question, “why is more not being done?” and provide resources and direct action items to make a difference.

https://youtu.be/P1eAAOIK3WsMelanie Sakoda and friends began a website for survivors of abuse in the Orthodox Christian churches called Pokrov, the Protection of the Mother of God, in 1999. They had spoken up about the way a local abuse case was mishandled by church officials, leaving their lives forever changed by the backlash. Realizing how important their mutual support was, they wanted to reach out to those who did not have that. The website was active until March, 2020. Melanie affiliated with SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, in 2008. She led SNAP support meetings from 2009 until recently. Melanie continues to lead independent virtual support groups and advocate for survivors, particularly Orthodox victims, and is the President of the Board of Directors of Coptic Survivor.

Our delightful guest today is Rob Thomas, who has spent the past 20 years helping big companies to get themselves unstuck. He sits down with teams, listens hard, asks the right questions, and turns fuzzy goals into clear, executable plans. From automotive giants to banks, energy firms to tech startups, he’s worked all over the world figuring out what people really need and how to make that happen—faster, simpler, and with less drama. Along the way, he has coached executives one-on-one, guiding them through making the toughest decisions, while keeping the human side front and center. Whether he’s designing systems that save millions of dollars, or smoothing supply chains so nothing falls apart, Rob’s particular gift is making complicated things feel straightforward.
That same clarity and care shows up when he works with individuals, too. He has a knack for cutting through noise, spotting what actually matters, and helping people move forward— and these are skills that translate beautifully to the everyday stuff that trips couples up as well.
So he wrote a book about it. His book, very aptly, is called Wordless Connection – Deepen Intimacy Without Saying a Word. Even If You’re Married. Wow, love that title!
These days, when he’s not untangling corporate puzzles or exploring the mountains on skis, Rob is happiest at home with his wife and children, reading a good book, or quietly testing the ideas that became his website. You can enjoy that website too! Just go to Wordlessconnection.com.

What happens when the plan stops working? This episode breaks down what real crisis leadership looks like. Using insights from Resilience and Renewal by Robert S. Littlefield, we examine how Lions Clubs International adapted in real time—through grassroots action, middle leadership, and a mission that never stopped. This isn’t about the crisis. It’s about how you respond when control is gone
Welcome to this edition of The Curated Chapter.
Today’s episode looks at something every organization eventually faces—crisis. At some point, the plan stops working and what happens next reveals how leadership functions under pressure.
I don’t know how old you are, but one of the clearest examples of this comes from Johnson & Johnson and the Tylenol crisis in the early 1980s. If you weren’t around, here’s the short version. In 1982, several people died after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules, triggering a nationwide panic. Johnson & Johnson responded by pulling millions of bottles off shelves, communicating transparently, and introducing tamper-proof packaging—setting the standard for modern crisis management.
Fast forward to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations everywhere were blindsided—most of them, if we’re being honest. But Lions Clubs International did something different.
Instead of shutting down, they adapted—rethinking how they communicate, how they lead, and how they serve…and they came out the other side more flexible, more responsive, and more resilient.
Robert S. Littlefield – Lions were like water around a rock the obstacle was the rock of covid and lions found a way around it to keep moving to keep serving and that’s the story of this book
That is Robert S. Littlefield, author of the new book Resilience and Renewal: The Story of Lions International and the Crisis of COVID-19. Now, let me give you a little context because in full disclosure my father was a member of the Lions Club many years ago, but I never really understood the scale of it. There are over 49,000 Lions Clubs around the world, with approximately 1.4 million members across more than 200 countries and territories.
This is a massive, global organization—and it exists for one reason: to serve people in need, wherever they are. So when a crisis shuts down the ability to serv. That’s not just disruptive, it’s potentially catastrophic. So why wasn’t it?
Robert S. Littlefield – Not only does it talk about lions but the way lions demonstrated resilience and these are skills that other organizations can benefit from. I really think that this is a blueprint for organizational learning and how to survive a major crisis as an organization because lions did it.
So how did they do it? Robert, a Lions Club member himself for over 40 years, interviewed 52 people ranging from international leaders down to the local club level to understand what actually worked.
Robert S. Littlefield – They were very self-disclosive in terms of you know we I talked about what did you think were the good things we did that our strengths and where were there some places where we maybe fell down or we didn’t do as well as we could have and they were honest in their reflections and so I shared all of that in the book.
What he found was that the answer didn’t come from the top. While leadership was trying to make sense of a global shutdown, it was everyday members who were already moving because as Robert says, Lions are like-minded people on a mission to serve and there’s nothing that is going to stop them.
Have you ever heard someone say “ADHD isn’t real, those people are just lazy, no willpower.” Ever seen a post or an article which says “ Taking stimulants will cause children to become addicted to them, everyone knows amphetamines are dangerous”. Guess what? Both of those statements are WRONG. A person who wears glasses can’t take them off and read better by trying harder, just as a person whose brain works differently than most other people can’t succeed by trying harder to make it work the “normal” (most common) way. The child who takes appropriately prescribed medication after a careful evaluation showed they have ADHD is actually LESS likely to develop a substance use disorder in their teens than a child whose ADHD is not treated.
Here’s a look at our video chat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBt7l_XnfOkJoin my guest, psychologist Ari Tuckman, and I as we expose those and other myths and misinformation about ADHD. Ari is a psychologist with a private practice in the Philadelphia area, the author of a number of books about various aspects of ADHD, and a presenter at many conferences on ADHD. His most recent book, The ADHD Productivity Manual, addresses one of the most common challenges faced by persons with ADHD, getting things done. Listen and learn!
We are born on earth in order to learn two great spiritual lessons. First, we are born to learn to love ever more perfectly. And second, we are born to learn to forgive completely. Yes, to forgive completely. No matter what ever might be done to us, our task is to learn to forgive it completely! My dearly beloveds, learning forgiveness and love very well are what life is all about. And it was not until just a few years ago, that I found a real forgiveness expert, who taught forgiveness so well that I thought we could make her our Seek Reality GURU of forgiveness. She is today’s guest, now with us for the ninth time. Until she became our Guru of Gratitude, we would just talk about A Course in Miracles, which Jesus channeled to us in the nineteen-sixties. The miracle that He taught in a thick blue book full of tiny print is forgiveness. And Jesus tells us in A Course in Miracles that Forgiveness miracles all come in one size. No matter what happens in our lives, we always must, and we can, forgive it. Whatever happens! Our guest, who is with us today for the ninth time, is Brenda Reiss. And Brenda is dedicated to helping people overcome obstacles that hold them back from living life to its fullest, by guiding them through a special 5-Step Forgiveness Process. She tells us that self-forgiveness helped her to transition out of victimhood, and into the life that she was meant to live. Brenda has experienced life’s obstacles firsthand, in the form of toxic relationships, eating disorders, and anxiety, which can consume everyday life, when problems like these are allowed to control our lives. So, Brenda learned HOW to forgive, and she has developed a very successful forgiveness coaching practice. She has written a great little book called Forgive, which is brief and easy to understand. Everyone should read it!

In this gentle, imaginative episode, Eartha introduces Heart Weather, a playful mindfulness activity that helps children understand and express their emotions using clouds, sky pictures, and simple weather metaphors. Through a cloud‑spotting game, kids learn that just like the sky, their feelings can shift, change, and move — and that every kind of“heartweather” is okay.
Eartha guides young listeners through the idea of perspective, showing how two people can look at the same cloud and see something completely different. With warmth and curiosity, she teaches children that their feelings — sunny, cloudy, rainy, or stormy — are all valid and worth naming.
Using weather images as emotional prompts, Eartha helps kids check in with themselves, choose the picture that matches their day, and describe what their “heartweather” feels like. A calming breath practice brings everyone back to center, and children are invited to create their own Heart Weather journal to track feelings through drawing or simple notes.
The episode closes with a sweet, practical challenge: look up at the sky sometime this week, pick a cloud, and share your heart weather with a grown‑up. Because when kids learn to name their feelings, they learn to navigate them — one cloud, one breath, one moment at a time.

What if the pain you’ve carried your whole life isn’t random?
This episode explores Wonders of the Soul by Helen P. Slater—a story about three women confronting unresolved trauma, and a healer who helps them understand it. A look at healing, personal struggle, and the possibility that there’s more behind what we go through.
Welcome to The Curated Chapter, formerly Newsgram. I’m your host, Sam Youmans. We call it The Curated Chapter because it is a short – chapter-sized look at books…An episodic peek into an authors passion project.
Today we are going on a spiritual journey. If you are someone who believes in Angels and Spirit Guides then none of this is going to surprise you but if you’re not, I’m just going to ask you to keep an open mind because at its core, this story is about something we all understand…the pain we carry. The kind of pain that follows us, shapes us, sometimes without us even realizing it.
What if that pain you carry isn’t random? What if it’s there for a reason? And what if—when it’s no longer serving you—there’s actually a way to let it go? Deep questions right?
Well today we’re going to explore a work of spiritual fiction called Wonders of the Soul by Helen P. Slater.
Helen: One day my guides spoke to me and some angels and I went on a healing path and I wanted to write it down to inspire others that they can also heal. Because I wasn’t treated very well when I was young and it was affecting me quite badly. And so I went on a healing path and so I’ve written some of it down for other people to benefit from the insights that I had and what I learned.
That experience became the foundation for the story we’re looking into today. It centers around a healer named Prudence and the three women who find their way to her. They are looking for answers because something in their lives, just doesn’t feel right.
Helen: The book starts with the lives of three women, Abigail, Sandra and Charlotte. And when we’re introduced to each of them, they’re grappling with some problems in their life. Abigail is beginning to reflect on her marriage, that it might not be as good as she thought it was. And she’s beginning to question her life with her husband. And Sandra is very alone. She doesn’t speak to anyone but her boss and her cat. And then there’s Charlotte, who is beginning to have a tough time at work. In fact, her boss sexually assaulted her in reality. And she’s beginning to feel that something like that happened to her in her childhood.
Each of these women brings something different with them. Experiences that haven’t fully settled. Questions that haven’t been answered. Moments that still feel unresolved.
And that’s where Prudence comes in.
Helen: And we introduce the healing circle, the spiritual healing circle, run by a lady called Prue, Prudence, Prue for short. And these three ladies go and are in the healing circle with a number of other women. And they talk about their problems, each of them in turn. And Prue gives them a healing. She listens to her guides. She brings in divine source energies of living light, conscious streams of living light. And she questions these women. She goes down, down, down and questions them. When did this happen to you? Why is this happening to you? And the women grow stronger as they relate their stories.
The process is designed to take each of them back to where the pain first started… and help them gain insight into their unique circumstances.
Helen: So Abigail is like, well, maybe I’m going to just divorce my husband and that’s OK. You know, he cheated on me. Why would I stay with him? And Sandra says that she is now feeling better about people and she can relate to them more. She can relate to the women in the circle more. So for her, the healing is finding people of like-mindedness with her. And so it’s about her intuition. And then for Charlotte, she was sexually abused by her father in her childhood. And so she learns to say no and also to find her creativity
Life here on earth can be a real challenge sometimes.
The focus here is on helping the reader understand that this kind of soul healing is possible… and that it can play a role in everyday life.
There are other characters woven throughout the story as well.
And as it unfolds, the idea underneath it all becomes clear.
The pain we carry doesn’t just come from one moment.
It builds.
It lingers.
And sometimes… it stays there until you understand its purpose.
And that idea doesn’t just live inside the story. It comes directly from the author’s life.
Helen: It happened in 2020. I kind of woke up, as they call it, and I started doing healings on myself and my friends.
The story itself, she says, came to her through that same process.
Helen: Well, the book was actually channeled by my Divine Guides and I met them in 2020 and they said, we’ve got a book for you. Do you want to write it? And I said, yes. And they said, it’s a spiritual book. Now, I’ve been in a process with these Divine Guides of healing myself. And they said, wouldn’t it be fun to introduce this to other people in a way that they could understand? Not heavy, not intense, not too deep, but just an idea of what it would be like to accept that there’s a Divine Consciousness pervading all of existence and that we can tap into that and understand our journey through life in that way.
Did you catch that part about being in a process with her Divine Guides? Let’s take a closer look at that.
Helen: When I was four, a star came to me and said, you’re going to be a healer. And I was really pissed off at my family at the time because they weren’t very nice to me. I said to the star, no way.
So for Helen, it started early… and continued to shape who she became.
Helen: I became more compassionate, and more understanding of people and their problems. Because I was quite isolated, because I was ill for a while. And I just it just opened me up and everyone has a hurt somewhere. And everyone has a life and a soul to be appreciated. And, and it began my healing journey again, I started healing people then from then from then on. And so it was, it was very good for me that people out there need this, you know, there are people who are crying out for some sort of understanding and some sort of transformation. And this healing that I offer, which my guide said is called Arcturus Healing, it changes lives in a very gentle and beautiful way. You know, my guides are wonderful.
And that brings us back to where this story started. As she says, “everyone has a hurt somewhere.” If you’re someone who is asking questions about your own life you might find something here.
Wonders of the Soul by Helen P. Slater is a story about healing—
shaped by the author’s own experiences,
and written for young readers navigating relationships, family, and the challenges that come with them.
If you’d like to learn more about Helen and her work,
you can visit her website: TheStoryOfMySoul.com. She shares regular blog posts there and you can find more about her books and her work as a healer.
Sometimes, asking hard questions about your life…

You may be be drowning
Perhaps in bills …
In the ocean as your boat collapsed
Sharks underneath as you tried to breath
Should you get reacquainted?
Should you let yourself drown?
You may think …
No point to try
Where should you start?
You’ve no life guard
There’s no safety net
There you’ve no friends
Should you sound your cries
Will anyone hear you?
Where are your beliefs, when you’ve none
Is better to start and seek Him from inside
Cut yourself not from lack of faith
Instead, press on to your heart
Cry out to him, to enter in …
He’ll throw you a lifeline from your faith
This time …
Stare, picture and feel Him
He’ll come now not later as you in need
He’ll come, as soon as He feels your love
Is He strong?
Know, He’ll erase your wrongs
Stand up with faith …
Give Him all your love
He’ll throw
You a lifeline …
Next time, you lack faith think again
Know, it was He bringing you out of the deep
As you seemed dead and not asleep
Wake up with His love
Spray His love …
Let Him inside …

We discuss the frightening discovery of Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer in my good friend Christine which occurred on New Year’s Eve. We go over the whole course emphasizing how difficult it can be to diagnose. CAT scans and Ultrasounds done a few weeks earlier were negative! We also discuss the importance and difficulties of Genetic testing specifically for the BrCa gene.
Figure skaters are God on ice …
They jump and ware their fancy dress up
Man can’t match women’s outfits … can they?
Fans give them a thump up and standing ovation
Illia Malinin, just 21
… could jump unlike anyone
The quadruple axel
… The triple lutz
I paused …
He gets the extra jump all in half rotation
As fans from all nations will scream
Awaits to his magnificent jumps
Will he triumph or fail
He failed establishing
… to 8th
Instead of first place
What is a quadruple?
As you take off like a plane
Facing forward
… making the quad axel
A quad
… and a half
You got to have
More than extra energy
Dorothy Hamill, in Austria
Yea, in Unbrick Austria

In this episode, Creativity, Leadership & Service with Darlene Quinn, Darlene shares from the Art Studio to the Pageant Stage, how an active, creative mind shaped her focus and resilience, how moving frequently as a child built her ability to lead and adapt, and how true alignment, not achievement, fuels her impact across business, philanthropy, and life.
On paper, Darlene Quinn’s life is extraordinary.
A Pepperdine-educated executive with nearly three decades in tech…
Vice President of Business Development for an electronic hardware manufacturer…
A decorated philanthropist contributing over 800 volunteer hours annually…
A four-time pageant winner and reigning Ms. USA 2026…
A fashion model, devoted wife of 31 years, mother, grandmother, and national community service leader.
And yet, beneath all of that achievement is something even more powerful, alignment.
This conversation begins where many don’t think to look…
In her early wiring.
In her inner world.
Darlene shares what it was like growing up with an active, creative mind — and how moving frequently as a child shaped her resilience, adaptability, and ability to walk into new rooms as “the new one” and still find her footing.
We explore how creativity has been a throughline in her life, from the art studio, to the pageant stage, to the boardroom, and how it continues to shape the way she leads, serves, and shows up today.
Inside this conversation, we explore:
✨ How early life experiences, like constant change, can build resilience, adaptability, and leadership
✨ The power of creativity in shaping focus, decision-making, and innovation
✨ The connection between presence, confidence, and stepping into new environments
✨ How service becomes more meaningful when it’s rooted in authenticity and purpose
✨ Balancing high achievement with a deeply fulfilling personal life
This is a conversation about more than success.
It’s about the inner architecture that supports it.
Because when your life is aligned… your leadership, your presence, and your impact expand naturally.

The episode closes with a sweet, practical challenge: look up at the sky sometime this week, pick a cloud, and share your heart weather with a grown‑up. Because when kids learn to name their feelings, they learn to navigate them — one cloud, one breath, one moment at a time.

Our guest today is especially interesting. Even fascinating, we might say. Karen Frances McCarthy, PhD, CSNU, is an award-holding medium, Spiritualist medium, and best-selling author whose work bridges the realms of spirituality, literature, and culture. She is a passionate advocate for spiritual exploration, wisdom, and growth, and she combines in-depth research and study with the evidence-based style of Spiritualism, and the mindfulness of her Zen practice. Her mediumship is further enriched by the lyrical storytelling tradition of her Irish heritage, to offer powerful, heart-centered spirit communication.
Dr. Karen McCarthy’s books have touched hearts and minds across the world! Her best-selling memoir is Till Death Don’t Us Part (from White Crow Books, in 2020). It delves into existential questions and the profound journey of awakening to continued consciousness that for Karen followed her fiancé’s passing. Her new book will be called The Re-enchanted Ghost in Contemporary American Spectral, and it will be published by Routledge Publishing later this year. It examines the cultural and emotional dimensions of consciousness and spirituality. This innovative research complements Karen’s academic teaching and writing, blending intellectual rigor with spiritual depth, and enhancing her contributions to contemporary spiritual thought.
As a medium, Dr. Karen McCarthy has undergone intensive training at the world-renowned Arthur Findlay College in England, earning three Certificates of Recognition from the Spiritualist National Union in mediumship, healing, and public speaking. She also holds a diploma in grief and bereavement counseling from the Institute of Counselling in Scotland, reflecting her compassionate and evidence-based approach to her practice. In addition to her private practice in Dublin and New York, she shares her insights as an educator. She teaches courses at The Shift Network, the Arthur Conan Doyle Centre, the Edgar Cayce Center, and the One Spirit Learning Alliance, Humanity’s Team.

The opening gambit on the front cover of the book really does summarise the overriding backdrop to the story of Nick and his late father’s close but in many respects distant relationship. You might feel what I have just said a contradiction in terms, yet when you read the book, you’ll see why I have said that. At times this father, son relationship incorporated around a game of golf is quite touching.
So, what is the opening ploy!
“Golf can be a tough sport.
The ball doesn’t always end up where we aim.
The same is true in life.
In both instances, the most important shot is the next one, as a father and son discover as they navigate the back 9 together.”
There are twenty-three short, punchy, concise and endearing chapters to this book, to whet your appetite with a snapshot view of those chapters, here are the titles.
On the Move
New Beginnings
Golden Sand
A Night to Remember
Adapting
Long, Winding Road
Let’s Get on with It
A Time for Thanks
Superman
Back to Normal
What Might Have Been
Let the Game Begin
My Turn?
Daddy, Don’t You Walk So Fast
“If This Is It, Son…”
Where Did “Normal” Go?
Slipping Away
A Week to Remember
A Quiet Interlude
One Way to Omaha
Something Isn’t Right
Home, Bittersweet Home
Mission Accomplished
Enjoy the book everyone!!!

In this episode, TedX speaker and Executive Director of the nonprofit 22 Forever, Dr. Kristen Gilliand, PhD meets with Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW, to talk about what leads youth to use drugs, how to prevent it, and understanding how the adolescent brain works.
Dr. Giliand talks about why programs like DARE often don’t work, and what she’s doing differently to help reduce the rate at which youth are using drugs.
Kristen shares her story of losing her own child to a drug overdose, and all the research and advocacy work she has discovered since his passing.
Together, she and Bryce discuss how children are primed for addiction early on,the role mental health plays, and what we as parents can do to counteract those messages and social conditioning.
This advice is simple and easy to implement as a parent and you can start today. A great episode with digestible, easy to take home information for you and your child.

Kristen earned her Ph.D. at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She later served as an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo where she taught Organic Chemistry, Neurochemistry, and the Chemistry of Drugs and Poisons. After Kristen’s 17-year-old son, Anders, developed schizophrenia – which was most likely associated with high-potency cannabis use in his early teens – Kristen joined the Warren Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery at Vanderbilt University (2018). At Vanderbilt, she researched new antipsychotic treatments for schizophrenia. During that same year, Kristen delivered a TEDx presentation titled Rewiring Revolution: Neuroplasticity’s Impact on Wellbeing.Tragically, Kristen lost her son to an accidental overdose in 2019 when his mental health severely declined, and he became addicted to opioids and stimulants.
Two years after her devastating loss, Kristen changed the trajectory of her life to utilize her scientific teaching, presentation, and research skills to educate adolescent-aged children and their parents on mental health challenges and how it can lead to substance use and self-harm. As the Director of Outreach and Advocacy Programs and Assistant Professor of Research at the Warren Center, Kristen delivered presentations nationwide to youth, parents, law enforcement, legislators, prevention coalitions, and recovery programs. In addition, she developed a multi award-winning educational documentary aimed at youth titled “Speaking Through Me” that was released August 2023. Kristen has appeared on NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt and NewsNation: Elizabeth Vargas Reports regarding increased psychosis risk with high-potency cannabis use during adolescence. The overwhelming desire to reach more youth called Kristen to launch the non-profit “22 Forever” in memory of her son, Anders. As the President and Executive Director of 22 Forever, Kristen delivers adolescent brain health presentations both nationally and internationally. 22 Forever’s focus also includes the development of a middle school brain health curriculum as a means of adolescent mental health and substance use disorder prevention.

When our guest today talks about your imagination, simply remember that everything that exists is happening within GOD’s imagination, and your mind is a continuous part of GOD’s mind, so your own mind is in fact extremely powerful! (Now, think about that for a moment!) We don’t usually think about things this way, so our minds don’t seem to us to be as powerful as they actually are. But our minds are all part of that one great Consciousness that is all that there is. Jesus tells us that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move a mountain, and that is exactly what He is talking about! That reference is in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 17, verse 20, if you want to look it up. All you need is that tiny bit of certainty about what your mind can do, and that mountain will MOVE for you! This is Peter Wright’s 25th Seek Reality appearance. He is a certified Hypnotherapist with more than 30 years of experience. He is also one of only 40 Board-certified Past-Life Regression Therapists in the nation. Peter is also certified as a Life Between Lives Hypnotherapist, and he is skilled in Spirit Releasement. Peter has helped more than 2,000 clients through Hypnotherapy by Zoom, phone, or in-person from his office in Santa Barbara, CA. He offers free 30-minute Consultations to prospective clients. For more information, just go to his website: www.insightsfromwithin.com. He advertises that you can experience insight, growth, and healing by connecting with your own Inner Wisdom Team.

What if your brain had two characters — one that panics, and one that coaches you through it?
In this short mindfulness episode, Eartha introduces tweens and their caregivers to Amy the Alarm (yourbrain’s threat detector) and Coach Brain (your calm decision-maker). Using a real fifth-grade classroom moment, she shows how a single breath can flip the switch from freak-out to focus.
Listeners learn a simple three-step practice:
- Tap: Scan your body for tension
- Breathe: Inhale for 4, exhale for 6
- Ask: What just happened, and what did I learn?
This isn’t about instant fixes — it’s about building emotional strength through repetition, reflection, and curiosity. Eartha closes with a challenge: spot your next “alarm moment” and try the steps. Because mindfulness isn’t just for quiet rooms — it’s for real life.

Spring is coming, Winter-of-2026
Is slowly leaving as the cold is burning
You can’t bring it back …
Crawl in bed with your honey
Am glad is going fast
Never to come back
Let’s not react to winter 2026
The snow slowly melting … was all intact
It was super black … better known “Black Ice” Caught my eyes as sun didn’t want to come
Only the moon understood
The true test of times …
We took for granted all the splendors
The sun gives … as they say
“It’s when all gone …
We learn to appreciate what we have!”
It’s a human nature thing …
We never appreciate what we have
Until it’s too late!”
Don’t be that one!
A word to the wise …
Therefore, be nice no matter what
How rotten they are
You be that change!
It’s never too late to change …
Change takes time, efforts, resilience and love
React to act love-be nice
… don’t you ever be evil
… and stale like bread
You can’t no longer eat
Take action
Hurt no one
Touch people’s hearts
… heart as us being art
Give me them love
… as enough for all
As John Lenny said:
“Give peace a chance”
With this in mind …
“Go out today and plant seeds of love!”
It can be one …
If you don’t have enough money
One seed can multiple to many
You’ll have plentiful to feed with just one
Remember this:
“Love, love, love
Spray love, love, love, and endless of it
Keep love, get rid of hate”
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet

What happens when the plan stops working? During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lions Clubs International faced a global shutdown that threatened the organization’s ability to serve communities around the world. Instead of collapsing under pressure, members adapted in real time — revealing powerful lessons about leadership, resilience, and organizational survival. In this episode of The Curated Chapter, host Sam Youmans explores the book Resilience and Renewal with author Robert S. Littlefield, examining how one of the world’s largest service organizations navigated crisis, uncertainty, and rapid change during COVID-19. Rather than focusing only on top leadership, the conversation explores how everyday members, local action, and mission-driven thinking helped Lions International continue serving more than 200 countries during one of the most disruptive global events in modern history.

In this episode, Kimberly Duval shares how beauty, quality, and thoughtful design create spaces — and lives — that feel cherished, grounded, and deeply aligned.
In this episode, Kimberly Duval: Designing Beauty That Lasts — Quality, Meaning & Home, I sit down with Kimberly Duval, Founding Principal of 41 Studios, a global design and real estate consulting practice rooted in architecture, interiors, and corporate real estate. Kimberly also publishes MORE, a quarterly digital design journal devoted to beauty, life, and authenticity.
But this conversation isn’t about trends.
It’s about beauty that lasts — the kind that reassures rather than performs.
We explore the difference between designing a room and curating a life. Kimberly shares how thoughtfully designed spaces influence how we think, feel, and function — and why quality, editing, and intention matter more than ever in a fast, disposable world.
You’ll hear how success has evolved for her over time — becoming less about shine and more about sustainability, rhythm, and quiet wins. We talk about neutralizing challenges without drama, planning as a form of freedom, and creating continuity while living bi-coastal — where “home” becomes a feeling, not a zip code.
Kimberly considers her work a partnership — not imposing a vision, but showcasing what clients love. She believes that spaces should feel cherished.
This is a conversation about discernment, consciousness, and the quiet luxury of enough.
You’ll Hear
• What “quality” means in a world built for speed and disposability
• The role of rhythm, structure, and planning in protecting energy and creativity
• Why sustainable success feels different than the shiny narrative we’re sold.
If this conversation stirred something in you — not just about your space, but about your life — that’s your cue. Beauty, alignment, and quality are not indulgences. They are signals of self-honor. The way you design your environment reflects the way you design your days, your relationships, and your future.
This is the work of living exquisitely aligned.

Sloane Fremont talks with author, Robert Garcia aka Ruben Hernandez about this life-chainging experiences.
From the book jacket – You know there are things in life we can never change. There
will always be negative and false issues as obstacles so we
will think there is no hope to change. As many of us, with no
proper guidance the road to do the right things, and to make the right
choices, can be scary, to have fear of the unknown.
What I am about to show to my interested readers, as a boy, a teenager,
a veteran and as a citizen, and how I lost everything, by hitting rock
bottom. By almost losing complete hope, for starters, almost losing my
life at seven years old. From the beginning of my life, there has always
been temptatious things to do the wrong instead of the right.

In this edition of The Curated Chapter, we explore Died Three Times Lived Once by Robert Garcia—a powerful true story of survival, consequence, and second chances. From a near-fatal childhood experience to the challenges of military service and life beyond, Garcia reflects on the moments that nearly ended his life—and the choices that shaped what came after. It’s an honest look at hitting rock bottom, facing fear, and finding a way forward when hope feels out of reach.
Welcome to this edition of The Curated Chapter, formerly Newsgram!
How many times have you died? I should probably rephrase that. Have you ever had a near-death experience? It doesn’t have to be an official NDE involving angels and spirits of relatives long gone or anything. I’m talking about all the times you look back on your life and say, Wow…I can’t believe I made it through that.
For me there two car accidents that should have killed me but for some reason they didn’t. In both cases I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. In fact, one of the accidents was so bad the car was completely totaled. When they found me, I was upside down in the car, unbuckled, staring at the dome light wondering what in the world had just happened. But somehow… I was okay.
Was it divine intervention or blind luck? That’s open for debate but when I saw the title of the book we are going to talk about today, Died Three Times Lived Once… it got me thinking.
Rubin Hernandez, who goes by the pen name Robert Garcia, has identified three moments when the grim reaper passed him by. Once when he was as a child. Once when he was sent to overseas to fight and once when addiction nearly destroyed his life.. Here’s Ruben.
Ruben: I’m just a simple citizen, a veteran, a Vietnam veteran. I’m an easygoing person, I’ve been told.
I would add humble, faith-driven and honest as well. His books tells the story of a man who believes those moments that nearly took his life were not accidents at all. They were interventions.
Ruben: I got into a deathly experience at seven
He’s talking about the time he survived a tragic truck accident only to grow up and eventually be sent to Vietnam.
Ruben: People shot around me and they died, and the same bullets coming at me and I didn’t get shot. Why? I don’t know. I’ll never understand that. Only God does.”
Many of us experienced the Vietnam war through movies, documentaries and heresy. Mr. Hernandez was actually there. He was sent to Vietnam during one of the most turbulent periods in American history and experiences like that have a way of leaving permanent questions behind — especially if you are one of the survivors.
Ruben: I didn’t get shot. Why? I don’t know. trying to get up from, during the battle, and I couldn’t get up until decades later, I started thinking, it had to be an angel holding me down.
For Ruben, survival in Vietnam left him with the same question many veterans carry with them for the rest of their lives. Why did I survive… when others didn’t? This was the second time in his life he had faced death and walked away. But war would not be the last time Ruben found himself standing at the edge.
Ruben: And then my last one, my third one, oh my gosh, I fell. I fell deep.
Years after returning from Vietnam, Ruben began working as a correctional officer in Riverside County, California.
Ruben: Well, I became a police officer in a detention center in Riverside County as a correctional officer. And I made a big mistake, and I lost it. I wasn’t fired, but I lost it. They gave me a chance to come back, and I didn’t do it like I was supposed to.
Ruben was responsible for watching over people who had lost their way but temptation has a way of grabbing ahold of us and taking control of our lives. What began as experimentation or recreational drug use slowly turned into addiction. And addiction has a way of destroying everything.
Ruben: Don’t do what I did. Even if you’re a veteran, or you want to experience drugs, don’t try it, because you’ll fall. You’ll fall deeply. And I did. I became a drug addict under cocaine, and I regret every part of it. I lost everything. I started losing my vehicles. I started using heavily, and I wasn’t caught yet. And I was working for the Riverside County Sheriff in California. There’s not many out there that can say they were in front of the bars, and they ended up behind the bars and I was one of them. I took life for granted. We should never do that.
Many addicts will tell you that before recovery begins, you often have to hit rock bottom. For Ruben, that moment came when he realized he had lost the things that mattered most.
Ruben: Like I say I thought I lost everything I thought I lost my daughters, my wife and I didn’t care. You lose your dignity, you lose responsibility, and you lose everything. The point I’m trying to make, you don’t care.
But sometimes the turning point in a life comes down to a single moment. A few words. Something that shakes you to the core and forces you to see things differently.
Ruben: I was eight years in and out of jail. The very last time they sent me to a rehab in San Pedro, California. And I couldn’t believe I’d made it that far. And the judge started telling me at my last court, you’re doing wonderful, Hernandez. Keep it going. She didn’t like me at all and I started thinking something has got to change. She says, you either change or you go to prison for three years. Now, that scared me.
That moment forced Ruben Hernandez to make a decision. He entered rehab and he began leaning more deeply into his faith.
Ruben: Well, I started going to church while incarcerated. The people that have been in and out of prison, they tell me, oh, you can smuggle all the drugs you want. You want to go. I could feel Satan was behind that.
This story does have a hopeful ending. Now at seventy-eight, Ruben has lived through some of life’s darkest chapters — and survived them with a new perspective. He is clean, happily remarried and passionate about sharing his story to help others.
Ruben: There’s a reason for everything that happens. I’m living with a beautiful woman. This lady of mine, my queen, her children flew me around the world. And whether people believe it or not, it’s all because of God’s will and reasoning.
If Mr. Hernandez has learned anything from the life he describes in Died Three Times, Lived Once, it’s this:
Live in the positive. Follow God’s will. And no matter who you are…stand your ground. Because sometimes the greatest story a person can tell…is what they choose to do after they survive.

How to … package your beautiful life?
Let’s remember, a package what it means
A package should be arrive with love
If is not, return to sender …
If is not wrapped, boxed, designed-cared
With love, do not open it and return it to Sender (Mailer or Shipper, Designor named on top left)
It should be contained nicely wrapped
… with initial “MAG”
… it’s mine but, you must make it your own
Receiver known as “Consignee, where a person’s receives the goods, Addressee and/or Ship to, Dispatcher and/or Receiver” on bottom mail
Don’t forget to include: Contact and phone #’s
For communicative purposes …
You should be able to recognize love
Until, if not recognize with love thus, avoid it
Let’s never forget, where came from
If noticed a crack and packed as a person’s
… with seemed to be on crack, dismiss it
Dismissed it since, an unsolicited item
Return to Sender because, lacked love
You been tricked and will not be fooled
Four types transport: sea, air, land and rail
Packager is on your top left called shipper
Receiver is on your bottom middle, Addressee
Where person’s goods are shipped to …
Return to sender, because is not you
How to package a well lived life?
First, start by examining your insides
Starting with your organs …
The very moment you recognize life
Why, I may state?
If your organs ceased to exist
You in extremely bad shape
Start to shape it well …
Tell your mom, dad, teachers and your nurse
Is not a good way, to keep secrets
You’ll be gone before, you know it
Too late to bring you back
Say it, nicely with a smile
To start to feeling better …
Feel all your cries, insides
In order to have it removed nicely
Say, “I am in pain
I need your help
Please can you help?”
I want to stay here and not let go
It is stronger to be saved
Than, to cry alone and go
Be strong with love … an advice
You’re to be love and deserve to be loved
Know, that I am not that person …
Who likes to go around proclaiming
“My life perfect and your’s is not
Am the opposite, I hurt no one
… I, live to love
So, should you!”
Your mind, you must protect
Your body, you must respect
Your brain, you must react when in pain
…. protection needed from harm
…. Who can cause harm?
It’s anyone!
Be observant
Be obedient, love everyone and respect
First, yourself, all others 2nd
No one, will give it to you!
Unless, you demand it!
Do not be a rug, everyone steps on
Be a cement hard and strengthened
This way, no one will stand your way
Be the color of cement gray but, sturdy
Be of the color red, full of life and ready to love
Be not, joined by darkness but, by the light
…that which, brings endless mornings
Now, look at the sun …
Make sure, you have enough of Vit D
Why you may ask?
It’ll protect you against diseases and diabetes?
I theorized that Vit D can be beneficial to you … heart and protect against diabetes type II
Therefore, be nice to your heart … maintain
A weight seize to your body mass index (BMI)
Go out, the seek your best body
Tonight, is the moon as your friend
The stars and galaxies look up …
Start your God, He is there waiting for you
He is peace
He is love …
He is endless
He is, those silent stars!

In this episode, Eartha pulls back the curtain on her upcoming teen novel, The Kingdom of Oura—a cinematic, emotionally charged parable about what it really feels like to grow up in a world of filters, perfection, pressure, and digital noise. Oura may be a fantasy kingdom, but every part of it reflects the real struggles today’s teens face online.
Listeners will explore the Glimmer‑Net, a world where nobody ever has a bad hair day and everyone hides behind Digital Glamours like “Golden Prince v.4.0” or “Neon‑Mermaid.” These masks protect the ego but trap the heart, mirroring the way teens often hide their stress, fear, and exhaustion behind curated perfection.
Eartha introduces the currency of Oura—Bites, Shares, and Stinger‑Ranks—which echo the dopamine loops of likes, streaks, and viral moments. She unpacks the toxic “Snapping” and “Pinching” that teens use to survive online spaces, and the heartbreaking “Glass Walls” that keep families physically together but emotionally disconnected.
Through the journeys of Jax and Penny, listeners witness the cost of perfectionism, the pressure to perform, and the fear of being truly seen. Jax battles the addiction to digital validation and the terror of failure, while Penny struggles with generational armor, emotional isolation, and the belief that softness is a malfunction. Both teens must confront the “FalseFirewall” that keeps them safe but lonely—and decide whether they’re brave enough to be real.
This episode is an invitation to see the digital world with new eyes: to understand the mental health “System Glitches” teens face, to recognize the traps of algorithmic perfection, and to discover how mindfulness and Transition Awareness Breathing (TAB) can help young people reclaim their inner calm and agency.
The Kingdom of Oura isn’t just a story. It’s a mirror, a warning, and a path toward emotional freedom in a world that asks teens to be perfect instead of human.

Girls can have ADHD too. For a variety of reasons that fact may not be so evident as in boys, which often results in years of self-doubt, shame, and significant life difficulties for women, challenges which are different than for men. FINDthe ADHDgirls is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to getting the word out to parents, educators and health professionals about the problem. I recorded an interview with their founder, Cynthia Hammer, MSW, a tireless and positive force in the field of ADHD for many years. I hope you will listen and learn about the work she is doing and to consider donating to FINDtheADHDgirls. This work helps close the gap for girls with ADHD who are too often missed and bear significant negative consequences as a result.

There’s three sides to a triangle
There’s A, B and C
Sides 1, 2 and 3
There’s the Bermuda Triangle
Best know “Devil’s Triangle”
Starts at Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Ricon
Why we hear it’s a drift of a devil?
A whirlpool pulling in … witnesses of planes, ships … as the devils enters in
There’s no escapes
It’s a pulling …
No one can escape
Last disappearances
Was a shipwreck
December 2020, vanishing thin air
Where did it go?
We blame the devil
Taken to where?
Was it a whirlpool?
Reason’s no trace …In
Was it a rogue waves?
Did it ran out of gas? Was it, too heavy?
Did those men go hungry, no man to navigate?
Was there a tsunami in the heights of the
… Empire State Building
Did they commit suicide? Were they that sad, Not willing to return? Did they get lost, because Marine navigation stopped working?
Where do we find answers?
When, there’s none!
Can we go to the loss and found?
Where do we go?
There’s no prints
There’s no answers
Yesterdays, today and tomorrows
Ships and planes will travel far
Passing through the North Atlantic Ocean
There’s no reminders
There’s no returning of pieces swept by waves
All I see, are beliefs by men…
Where can we find definite answers?
Unless we dream …
Of events before it happens, again
Perhaps, in our dreams
Where the sea run wide
We may be wise. … and awake with an answer
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet
In this episode, Eartha invites you into a gentle, honest conversation about a kind of fear many people carry quietly — the subtle tension that shows up when the world feels like it’s changing faster than we can understand. With AI becoming part of our phones, classrooms, and workplaces, it’s natural to feel a tightening in the chest or a swirl of “What if?” questions. And if that’s you, you’re not alone.
Together, we slow everything down. We look at fear not as a flaw, but as a signal — a message from your inner world saying, “Something here feels unfamiliar.” As Sensory Detectives, unfamiliar doesn’t mean danger. It means: pay attention.
Through grounding practices, mindful inquiry, and compassionate reflection, Eartha guides you step‑by‑step through the emotions that rise when technology feels overwhelming. You’ll learn how to name what you’re feeling, separate facts from fear‑stories, shift from panic to agency, and create simple rituals that help your nervous system feel safe again.
This episode is a breath of clarity in a noisy world — a reminder that you don’t have to understand everything today, and you don’t have to face big changes alone. One breath, one moment of curiosity, one grounded step at a time… you remain the author of your story, even in a world shaped by AI.

We all get discouraged from time to time about how our lives are going, and it’s in that level of discomfort that we question our existence and what our purpose is. Our path is more obvious than we think once we learn to read the signs, and our connection with the spirit world is much stronger than we think when we learn how to pay attention.

The Author
Leon Lowe would describe himself as an author of many talents across a variety of genres, he has to date written thirty-six books with another seven in the pipeline.

The subject matter of his book’s hawks back to his intense interest in business studies, social justice, the inner workings of the media, creative writing and social sciences. A broad spectrum of interests you might think, no wonder his books are so varied in content.

Dr. Cesar Chavez joins the program to reflect on a remarkable medical journey that spans borders, specialties, and decades of change within the American healthcare system.
Raised in a farming family just across the U.S.–Mexico border, Dr. Chavez went on to attend UCLA before earning his medical degree in Seattle. He practiced family medicine in Wisconsin for years before completing an ophthalmology residency and ultimately returning to serve patients near his home along the border.
In this conversation, we explore how healthcare has evolved over the course of his career — from frontline family practice to surgical specialization — and what those changes mean for patients today. Dr. Chavez also underscores a timeless truth often overlooked in modern medicine: the critical role of diet and exercise in improving the health of the average American.
A thoughtful discussion on service, adaptation, and personal responsibility in healthcare.
Color blind is not that you are blind
That you can’t see colors!
It’s it a specific color
It is a disease …
Where about 300 million people experienced
1 in every 12 men and 1 in 200 women
With color vision deficiency
You may ask, why?
Could you be one of those people ?
Know, are reasons’ why CAP and NYS inspectors
Seek out laboratories and demand that all
Microbiologist, hematologist and parasitologist
Get annually tested for “Color Blind”
It’s essential to distinguish specific shapes of … colors vital in laboratory as competency
I’ve written policies and procedures for “Color Blind testing” serving of outmost of importance
Competency is critical for patience care
As microscopic examinations takes place
Could be a gram stain, reading in other labs that utilizes a microscope as color-image are
… interpreted with unique skills
I double dare you not to believe me
… I don’t lie, neither should you!
Color blindness or color blind deficiency
… is a not a serious condition
… it is genetic disorder called “Color Vision”
It is passed to offsprings from parents
… where their eyes cones developed different
How? They way they see and perceive colors
Are different from others …
Color blindness people see red and green
In variance of colors …
Individual experiencing such have a hard time
Distinguishing between these two colors … and
The yellow and the blues …
Furthermore, the worst are people that
Can’t distinguish colors at all
… and shades of colors
In 1684 Turberville, called Tuberville method came up with a scientific method of evaluating
… color blindness
Where comparing color naming of objects by color blind in a specific-scientific method
… to those of healthy one’s
In 1837 Seebeck developed a test
Allowing individuals to freely
Pick colors to match it with a
Different sample …
In 1837, became more pronounced
It was a more elaborate and effective way
Here, it was the development of an extreme
… effect where, pseudo-iso-chromatic plates
Where colors spotted impregnated with symbols
That included shapes, colors, letters and numbers took place …
The spots has different types of colors
For the individual to be tested …
Finally, “Williams method” it simulates real life … events, in armed forces utilized
Why “Color Blind” test so important?
Laboratory competency testing with patients
… specimens’ viewing
That’s critical
You tell me, if is not!

In this episode, From Underestimated to Unignorable — Visual Authority, Executive Presence & Credibility with Kerrianne Cartmer-Edwards, I sit down with Visual Authority Strategist Kerrianne Cartmer-Edwards to talk about what high-performing women rarely realize until it costs them: credibility is formed quickly, and your presence communicates long before you ever speak.
We unpack how successful women can be deeply competent — and still underestimated in certain rooms — not because they aren’t qualified, but because their external signals aren’t yet congruent with their internal power.
Kerrianne names two powerful concepts that will change the way you see yourself and your next level: the “perception lag” — the gap between who you’ve become and how the world still sees you — and the “misalignment tax,” the hidden cost women pay in time, energy, attention, and voice when they feel the need to over-explain, over-prove, or over-function.
This is a refined, real conversation about becoming memorable, moving with conviction and certainty, and embodying authority with elegance — so you become unignorable.
You’ll hear:
• Why conviction and certainty are credibility accelerators — and what they communicate instantly
• The difference between fashion vs. style (and why style is a leadership signal)
• What it means to be congruent — and how congruence makes you memorable and trusted
• The truth about the perception lag: why it delays access, opportunity, and invitation
• The cost of the misalignment tax — and how it quietly drains your Divine Resources
• How over-functioning shows up visually and why it can unintentionally reduce authority
• Simple shifts you can make immediately to elevate executive presence without trying too hard
Kerrianne’s work is a powerful reminder that your next level doesn’t require more pushing. It requires more precision. More congruence. More refinement. Because when your outer presence matches your inner power, you stop chasing validation — and start being recognized.

In this episode, Eartha invites listeners into a brand‑new adventure she’s been quietly building behind the scenes — a playful, powerful way to help children discover the calm already living inside them. For years, she’s taught kids that they are not trapped by their emotions, that they can understand their bodies, and that they have real choices in how they show up in the world. Today, she reveals a tool designed to bring that lesson to life.
Introducing The Sensory Detective, a mindfulness escape game for children in grades 3–5. Instead of being told to “just calm down,” kids step into a secret‑agent mission for the T.A.B. Agency — Transition Awareness Breathing. Their job? Move through six immersive rooms, crack sensory codes, and unlock evidence‑based mindfulness skills that help them stay steady, focused, and confident.
Each mission teaches a real technique — from 7/11 breathing to grounding — wrapped in a story that makes emotional regulation feel like solving a mystery rather than managing a meltdown. With experience points, digital badges, and a printable field manual for home or classroom use, The Sensory Detective transforms stress management into a challenge kids actually want to master.
This episode is more than an introduction. It’s a doorway into a new way of helping children understand themselves — through curiosity, imagination, and the joy of play.

Didi is a typical teenager living in 600 B.C. Jerusalem. Being the youngest of five girls, she lives under the dynamics of the different personalities of her sisters, while dreaming of the man she will someday marry.
Then one day, the sons of an old family friend arrive, and turn her world upside down with an invitation to join their family, in search of a place where they can live their religion in peace. She secretly likes the youngest son, Nephi, but to go with his family means leaving the comforts she and her family enjoy in Jerusalem. Surprisingly, her family chooses to leave the city, and travel into the wilderness in search of a new land and home.
The family begins to adapt to a nomadic lifestyle, and Didi must discover who she is and what she truly believes in. As the family threatens to break apart, she feels the pressures of trying to survive physically, and understand and support a husband who is eons ahead of her spiritually. Ultimately, she must choose the path her heart and soul will take, knowing her choices will affect her life’s direction and that of her children.

In this Deep Dive episode, Eartha steps behind the scenes of last week’s conversation and explores what really happens when life tries to “hack” your peace. With the help of NotebookLM acting like an outside reviewer, she revisits her own words through a fresh lens — revealing insights, patterns, and emotional truths that even she didn’t hear the first time around.
This isn’t just a recap. It’s a re‑examination.
A second look at the quiet moments where stress sneaks in, where negative vibes slip past our defenses, and where we forget we have the power to say “Access Denied.”
Eartha breaks down how mindfulness becomes your early‑warning system, how a personal firewall protects your inner world, and how Transition Awareness Breathing (TAB) acts like a gentle reboot when life starts to glitch.
Warm, reflective, and surprisingly cinematic, this Deep Dive invites you to see your own “operating system” with new eyes — and reminds you that protecting your peace is not just possible… it’s a skill you can practice.

Your tears …
Turned into mud
Why?
From all the sadness
I can now see your clear tears
Turned into mud …
The colors of Earth
Entering in … as you were never nice!
I would love to turn your madness and meanness
Into niceness but, first you happened
To want to change …
Look at the skies, see God image inside
Pray tonight and every nite …
Kiss your honey and your mom and dad
If they in heaven …
Pray and repeat, and badness melt away
Be nice …
Let badness evaporate
Turn your moist tears into love
Now tears from your fears is red
…. because, you in hurts
Grow your heart super large!
50 billions X’s of niceness and pray
The water plus rocks was your tears
The snow packed with soil left running
It’s the running of water through the pushing
Where rocks, sand and all comes as it melts
Where an introduction of dirt with messy amount
Of water rushing in … with hate
Now, mudslides happens …
To enter in rapidly covering ground floors
It’s a tsunami of unwanted love
Take love never hate …
Seek fresh water do not drink from the mudslide
If you see only dirt …
I suggest you to be nice!
Pray and seek God instead, from your heart
You’ll get clear water from the Above
Because, you now have love
It grew because, you now believe
In love and found Him …
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet
This book is about connecting with God in all things. It is not meant to be easy reading but for us to meditate on these scriptures until we believe them.
This book will increase your faith because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). This book is not all inclusive nor is any book about faith. It will whet the reader’s appetite and give you a fresh vision on your life. The book will be prophetic for many. It was written in obedience to God for His glory, His purposes, and His perfect will for our lives.
Please enjoy God in this book.

Our guest today is another in a wonderful series of powerful guest-women who have been through significant negative experiences, and have TRIUMPHED over all that life has thrown at them. Tracy Doyle is a nationally recognized entrepreneur, emotional wellness advocate, and author of a terrific book called Life Storms: Finding Your Clear Sky. Her journey from a childhood shaped by trauma and instability to becoming an award-winning business leader and resilience coach is a testament to the power of reinvention and healing, and, ultimately, tremendous growth. After building a multimillion-dollar medical communications company, and after earning regional accolades like the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, Tracy Doyle faced a breaking point: she hit what she describes as true emotional burnout. This personal crisis became the catalyst for Tracy’s transformation, and the creation of the Aurora Method— which is a practical, psychology-informed, and mindfulness-based framework, helping professional women to overcome burnout, reshape limiting beliefs, and reconnect with themselves and others. Through her book, Life Storms, and also masterclasses, and an eight-week course, Tracy empowers professional women to break free from the patterns that have been keeping them stuck, so they can lead their lives with calm, clarity, and confidence, reminding themselves that no matter how turbulent, their lives may now feel, clear skies are always within reach.

What is the purpose of vaccination?
There’s confusion, misunderstanding and the truth … and more confusion!
A vaccine serves the body’s immune system
Super well … to act as a super messenger
To recognize and make of your body function
Defend against any harmful foreign agent …
Like protection against measles, that when
Immunity wares of adulthood, shingles enters
There’s no doubt the way to go
Is protection against deadly diseases
Such as harmful bacteria, virus, etc..
By which, prevents infection before
It occurs in your body! Still confuse?
No need!
Is simply easy!
Why get vaccinated?
Is it worth it? Of course it is!
Vaccine goal(s): “To built immunity, induce immunity!” It is safe unless allergic and/or
Develop irreversible side effects …
Before you go to the grave, think twice!
Let’s reaffirm …
You do not want to be left open
Close all the doors and windows
Stop all your enemies, from entering in
It is safe to develop “safe induce immunity”
Thus, decreasing risks of developing
The disease required to control
… that which, can lead to severe risks
Like hospitalization … as you protect people’s
Passing disease on to others!
Protection the way you go, to avoid deaths
This way, protecting communities and all
How? Introducing herds immunity
Is best, at hand and practices
Keeping these observation in mind
Are the goals in reducing diseases
Let’s take a look why measles increasing?
In 2025 and moving on to 2026
Due to declining vaccination
Affecting populations negatively
Thus, increasing a blow out of infections
Once, thought eradicated
Think of measles, chicken pox, small pox
Leaving communities vulnerable and possibly
Flares of new emergence of diseases …
William H. Foege was fearless
… instrumental in pushing his beliefs in
Eradication of smallpox from this planet
Forging the way in improving and decreasing
Infectious diseases as was deadly Smallpox
It takes a brain like Mr. Foege
To take a stand and be a forced
That history stamps his name of heroism
He was never afraid to championed
For his cause and moved forward in 1970
In eradicating Smallpox …
In the AIDS epidemic response, well
Due to the CoVid pandemic
All other vaccines halted
Yes, we forgot and went to sleep
But, waking up to other outbreaks
Let’s wake up …
Misinformation, lack of public trust
International traffic lowered immunity
What will take to reassured the public
At large to go back to trust vaccinations
How disease spreads?
Direct contact such as
… touching and kissing
Indirect contact where surface area
… objects are contaminated, indirect
Let’s be smart
Push for vaccinations
Let us not
… move backwood
But, forward

The Author
Roselyn Teukolsky was born in Johannesburg in South Africa, where she graduated from the University of the Witwatersand with a B.Sc. in Maths and Chemistry. She emigrated at the age of twenty-three to the United States and soon found herself graduating from Cornell University with an M.S. in Mathematics Education. Roselyn is married with children and grandchildren. For Most of her life she taught Maths and Computer Science mainly at Ithaca High School in Upstate New York. Since retiring in 2009 she and her husband Saul used to split their time between Ithaca, New York State and Pasadena in California. Nowadays Roselyn and her husband Saul a professor of Physics have opted to stay in California having forsaken the beautiful New York State winters. I do wonder however if the Bridge games are better on the West Pacific Coastline.
Roselyn is also the author of ‘The Barron’s Review’ book for AP Computer Science, which is presently in its thirteenth edition.
So, what can we expect in this second book of ‘The Madeline Geiger Thriller Series’ from Roselyn Teukolsky? Well let’s take a sneak preview.
Check out our video chat here!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VIYSfbsomMThe Books
The first thing to point out is, that yes, the storyline is a series around the main characters especially Madeline, but the story within each book is very much on a stand-alone basis.
The Fourth Woman
Book Two of The Series
An intense thrilling story wrapped up in fifty-eight fast-paced enthralling chapters awaits your attention here. Madeline Geiger is a cybersecurity expert, extremely adept at keeping foreign unwanted cyber-attacks at bay. However, her personal life is a complete roller coast ride. This complex woman is exactly that, complex! For many a straightforward relationship around love, sex and friendship is one of life’s great privileges, but not Madeline. Her Professional life is just as chaotic. The story kicks off with a ransomware attack on her own computer that which not only puts her files under siege but her life and her mindset too. A new online date Vincent, a neurobiologist by profession is another complicated character thrown into the melting pot, his labyrinthine of characteristics that he has been given would put anybody with a balanced mind on guard. What dark science lurks behind Vincent’s Lab door? Who is Stalking Madeline from behind the screen and equally in her own life? Oh! And to compound matters her mother’s onset of dementia is becoming a real issue threatening to turn Madeline’s life upside down.
So, for me this dark thriller weaving digital sabotage and psychological suspense into one heck of a plot is simply a must read.
In the interview we will focus on the following chapters, one, two, nine, ten, fourteen, fifteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-seven, thirty-eight, forty-five, forty- six and fifty-two. By then you’ll have sufficient armoury to consider buying the book to see the full extent of what the book must reveal, who is the attacker, the suitor and what dark concealments skulk behind the door of Vincent’s lab. Hmm….

Book One of The Series
Forty-nine chapters of exhilarating, spine-tingling narratives all beautifully woven with unexpected twists and turns is what you can expect from this high-action thriller debut book from Roselyn. The energy and pace with which the storyline is foretold is staggering. A dead husband, a brilliant hacker, the FBI, a secret world of shadowy sex and money all set against the backdrop of an academic framework. Madeline Geiger’s life has stalled following a skydiving accident with her late husband. Who she thought he was and who she discovers he was through spying for the FBI couldn’t be more opposing. What of the Co-workers who worked alongside her late husband, and who’s the killer lurking close by in this tight- knit working environment? What do they hope to gain from their clandestine activities. Hmm…
Want to know the whole story? Well, you’ll have to buy the book.

Oh yes!
What’s the title!!!
The last Donor
And the Plot!!!
We’ll have to wait and see.

Enjoy the books everyone, I did for certain.

Thank you, Roselyn, for giving me another amazing opportunity of interviewing you This time of course the second Book in The Madeline Geiger Thriller Series. As last time I wish you every success with it. Just like A Reluctant Spy.
This is a very personal book. It is an account of the author’s 39 years in California, mostly in the San Francisco Bay area, where he experienced God’s presence on more than one occasion. The author believes God saved him from his sinful ways and taught him a better way to live. He says he is still not perfect, but if you read what God had him go through, you will see that he should have already been dead on many occasions. Luke believes God has kept him alive so that he might share his testimony.
Unfortunately, Luke’s early life of drug use led him to be schizoaffective, which has caused him to hear what he considers to be Angels and Demons. He also suffers from PTSD and scrupulosity, a form of OCD.
Despite these many challenges Luke has made it a point to share his life with the world so that people who go through weird things know that they are not alone and many others also suffer in order for God’s glory to be revealed. In this book through his many strange and wonderful experiences, Luke hopes to prove that God exists and that He is here to help and save us from ourselves.

Today we explore I’m on Assignment! by medium and empath Diane Marie Taylor, a spiritual self-help guide that asks a simple but profound question: What if your already living your life’s purpose even if it doesn’t feel like it?
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
The other day I was watching TV when, out of nowhere, my dog got up and stared into the kitchen like someone was standing there. He does it all the time. Just freezes… locked in… focused on something I can’t see.
Science will tell you he’s not seeing spirits — that pets are simply more perceptive than humans. Better hearing. Way better sense of smell – which is true but it got me thinking…
What if there’s more going on around us than we’re aware of? Spirits, ghosts, apparitions, alternate energies — whatever you want to call them — if you believe those things may exist, then what would you do if you could actually confirm their presence? If you could communicate with them?
Well… guess what. I found someone who says she can.
Diane Taylor was born with abilities she didn’t ask for and didn’t fully understand at first.
Diane: I was born gifted. I was born a medium myself. I was able to see beings in the room that other people couldn’t.
As cool as that sounds, it didn’t exactly make growing up easier.
Diane: I got tired of being made to feel like I was weird for mentioning things that other people couldn’t see. So I just kind of shut that off.
She says if she’d had someone to help her understand and develop those abilities, she might never have turned them off. Still, the curiosity never left and neither did her interest in spirituality.
Diane believes we all have intuitive abilities to some degree. Some people are just more sensitive to them. Others ignore them or talk themselves out of them.
Her book is written for people who are questioning where they are in life. It’s for adults who sense there’s more meaning beneath the surface. More purpose. More continuity. Because according to Diane, we’re not just here by accident and where you are now is not the end of your story. You are part of something much larger.
Diane: We are eternal beings. We want to think that we’re human beings that have a soul, but it’s the other way around. We are eternal beings that are trivially living in this meat suit.
And so as an eternal being, of course we have soul mates, just not in the Rom-Com sense.
Diane: We have to stop thinking about soulmates in terms of what we think of with Valentine’s Day and this romanticized version of it. Because honestly, our soulmates are really annoying creatures. They are the people that we made agreements with to come here on Earth and nudge us along with our assignments. So they’re not going to be the friends that are telling you what you want to hear. They’re going to be telling you the things that you need to hear. And you know, they, they hold you accountable. And sometimes you don’t want to hear it. Because you made the agreement that I don’t care if I throw a fit on this such thing, I need you to push me so that I can keep doing this. And you might resent them in the moment, but in the long term, you’re going to love them for it.
If that’s true — if we’re eternal beings with lessons to learn — it would seem like a waste to only get one shot at it.
Diane says we don’t.
She believes reincarnation isn’t just possible but it was once widely accepted.
Diane: At one point, reincarnation was written in doctrine. It was pretty well accepted, and people understood this. And then, next thing you know, it’s been erased from doctrine, and people just don’t seem to believe in reincarnation anymore. But there are some of us that do, because we’re just sensitive enough that it’s like, yeah, there’s a lot more out there than just this. There is no way that my entire existence could exist simply on this trivial 75 years that I have here on earth.
Not only do we return, she says we do it with help. Spirit guides. Soul groups. A kind of unseen support team that helps shape our path.
Diane: Yes, without a doubt, we reincarnate.
One mystery remains: if we’ve lived before, why don’t we remember? Diane believes we do, just not consciously. She says unresolved memories can surface as unexplained fears, strong preferences, or an immediate sense of familiarity with someone we’ve just met. That stranger who seems awfully familiar? Maybe they’re not a stranger at all. They could be someone in your soul group that you shared a past life with.
Diane: If you want to equat v e lifetimes with going to college, you’re not going to go to college in just one semester and take one course. You’re going to take several courses over several years, and eventually you move on. You get to graduate. That’s what our lifetimes on earth are like. It’s important then to understand that. There’s no way we could complete all of our lessons in just one lifetime.
At any given moment, she says, we are the sum of everything we have ever been, carrying with us both wisdom and unresolved trauma. Which makes perspective important. If you’re feeling pessimistic and negative, try and shake it off.
Diane: It would be easy to get sucked into that negative vibration where we’re thinking, poor me, and I’m worried about the next thing and the next. If you want to stay strong, you’ve got to find your center. Find your center, stay strong, and just go with the flow.
Find your center, stay strong and go with the flow. Pretty good words of advice no matter what you believe.
If the struggles we face today are echoes of past versions of ourselves, then growth means learning how to move beyond them. And yes… sometimes that means shaking things off.
The book is “I’m on Assignment! An Alternate View of Past Lives, The Impact on Our Current Lives, Soul Mates, World History and the Akashic Records” by Diane Taylor and before we go I want to address that last part.
Diane: The Akashic records, that would be the record of everything that you’ve ever done in not only this lifetime, but other lifetimes as well.
Having a record of everything I’ve ever done across multiple lifetimes sounds a little frightening.
Definitely humbling.
But the big takeaway here is this: you are more than this moment.
You are more than this version of yourself.
More than whatever chapter you happen to be in right now.
And maybe the things we can’t explain — the familiar stranger, the fear that makes no sense, the feeling that you’ve been here before — maybe they aren’t so strange after all.
Maybe they’re reminders.
That this life isn’t random.
That we’re not just passing time.
That we’re part of something larger than what we can see, measure, or fully understand.
And maybe… just maybe… there’s a lot more going on around us than we realize.

Our guest today is Kim Hodous, who is with us for the third time. Kim has lost two children, tragically, and yet she is a happiness expert! She is a simply indomitable woman. First, she lost her two-year-old daughter, Chelsea, to leukemia, when Kim was a young mother, just thirty-one years old, and with four children under the age of five. And Kim had dealt pretty well with Chelsea’s death, by writing four books and spending a beautiful 15-year career as “The Happiness Speaker”, teaching companies how best to have happy employees. But she also tells us that she didn’t have the luxury of having those little children to raise in 2022, when her 29-year-old son, Rob, died of a drug overdose, because all her children were grown up by then, and out of the house, in 2022. Fortunately, though, soon after Rob died, within just a few months, Kim discovered The Grief Recovery Method. And wow, you have got to say, this is one resourceful woman! Kim got herself certified in The Grief Recovery Method, and she began to deal with her own grief by helping other mothers deal with suffering the grief of the loss of a child. Kim’s son, Rob, soon began to come through to her then, and he has taught her how to connect with him in a very special way, so now she is able to teach other mothers how to connect with their children in that same lovely way. Kim Hodous is literally a beacon of hope and joy! And now she is with us for the third time, to share that hope and joy amid grief with us. Kim’s website is www.kimhodous.com.

I am sick … not from me
But, from you … believe me
I will not swallow your pills
You’ve placed on the table
I can send you a bill ..
For all my help and expertise
I given you a lot while, you gave me none
Am not a fool!
Now, I know your horrific intentions
Not good for me!
You cruel and a beast from out of this Earth
This is you … what, that of an uncolored Earth?
Just because, I taught you
You think, you on top of this mountain
I can easily bring you down, when I stop
Being your creative MD, time expired!
However, I won’t helped you maintained
That thrown, you set to seek
I know, better now
Instead, I will pray for you
Because, is the right thing to do
I will run from you, you now
Must give me space to grow
So perfectly, as my God gets rid of you
It’s me that He’ll stay
I will, thus help, only those seeking me
Good to be aid … will help
You will no longer good, you won’t crushed me
He will not permit …
For you to rotten me
You a rotten apple!
You will not, knock me from the tree
I am held onto this tree
By gravity …
You can’t no longer
Throw rocks at me
You seemed to arrive
From out of space
Am not a space cadet
Am spiritual, you not
I prefer to be with Him
A woman of God, am
Why can’t you? … know, “If God with me,
Thus, no one is against me!”
I will be persistent …
I will resist you, you like a cat
Despite, you trashing me
I will not allow myself to be tarnished
I see the bluest of skies and colors
I am with the sun … lighting the days
You are not, you dark inside unlike, the moon
That lights …No matter, how white, still black
inside …
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet
When someone throws a microaggression your way, it can hit like a sting you didn’t see coming. The moment is subtle, but the impact is real. In this episode of Transition Awareness Breathing, Eartha guides you through a mindful, empowering way to protect your peace without losing yourself in the stress of the moment.
You’ll learn how mirroring — a simple, reflective communication technique — helps you respond instead of react. Through calm breathing, intentional pauses, and clear boundaries, you’ll discover how to keep someone else’s negativity from settling into your spirit.
We walk through:
- Preparation: How to pause, breathe, and detach so you stay grounded
- Reflection: How to mirror someone’s exact words to create clarity and accountability
- Boundary‑setting: How to express your feelings calmly and keep the interaction short
- Recovery: How to release tension afterward through movement, breath, and visualization
This episode is a gentle reminder that your peace is worth protecting — and you can do it with strength, clarity, and calm.

The Author
A K Cooper-Elliott was born in Germany but now resides in Yorkshire a beautiful and breath-taking county in the UK.

A K is married with two grown up children that have fled the nest. Due to the early onset of Multiple Sclerosis, A K had to retire at a relatively early age from her high-flying executive career in procurement and accountancy, the demands of the job and her functionality issues were becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. With the decision reluctantly taken to step away from the world of high finance, A K turned to writing, giving her a new focus in life, a focus that can be fitted around her physical abilities, for a person living with M.S. some days can be more challenging than others, on a bad day not much gets done.
As far as A K can remember she has always loved books, reading a variety of genres. From reading to writing A k’s life has evolved, she writes both children and adults books, but for the purpose of this podcast we’re going to concentrate on her latest children’s books in The Lilly Everlea series.’

Uluru is a massive, sacred sandstone monolith in Australia’s Northern Territory, known for its deep cultural significance to the Indigenous Anangu people and its striking appearance at sunrise and sunset. It is located within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, alongside the Kata Tjuta rock domes.
Eight lone walks around Uluru gave the author not only extraordinary experiences, but also profound insights from the Rock that is a gift for Life.
The reader follows the author’s walk every day while she is connecting deeper and deeper to Uluru. The understandings and the information that she received, changed her for Life. The walks were not only deep and insightful, but also playful and even spiced with humor.
The main insight that Uluru gave to the author is about the roles of man and woman. … which many indigenous cultures may know all too well, but a subject that has become a bit blurred in modern times.
This is an easy reading book. The author has passed on the insights in as undiluted a form as possible. The male and the female … we can find out about these everywhere in Nature …. Uluru .. this huge monolith … gives it out loud and clear.

Our guests today are two very accomplished people! Puran Khan Bair is a true American mystic. He is the author and co-founder of IamHeart, the school of Heart Rhythm Meditation (HRM). He developed HRM as a method of breathing and concentration that creates a coherent heart rhythm, based on an authentic method of Christian mysticism. Puran was the lead author, with his partner Susanna, of the sourcebooks on HRM: Living from the Heart, Energize Your Heart, and Follow Your Heart. He has written extensively on the physiological benefits of synchronizing your breathing to your heartbeats and has collaborated with researchers to demonstrate the visible light emitted by the heart and the extraordinary stress resilience created by HRM. He is also the co-creator of the Breath & Heart app for iPhones. He has degrees in electrical engineering and computer science, and he links the inner experience of mysticism to physics, biology, and principles of the nervous system, with human development. Puran is a frequent speaker in spiritual, scientific and business conferences. He serves as a successor to Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, of the Universal Sufi tradition, with whom he worked closely for 33 years until his Master’s death. Susanna Bair is also a mystic and teacher of heart-centered meditation and co-founder of iamHeart, which is a nonprofit school dedicated to cultivating emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing through Heart Rhythm Meditation (HRM). She is a pioneer in her focus on creating the Culture of the Heart, bringing about micro communities of open, emotionally vulnerable, and safe spaces, that aim to shift the larger culture in that direction. She also co-founded the University of the Heart (iamU), where students are trained in advanced meditations in a two-year program. Previously, she was a theater director in the State Theater of Basil, Switzerland. Their website is www.iamheart.org

In the late summer of 2023, just days before Julie and her husband David were to send their youngest child off to college and begin a new phase of life, Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer at a routine mammogram. She was fortunate to receive her treatment at the hospital where David, a doctor, practices medicine and to be cheered on by her sweet, knowledgeable husband and loving family and friends.

Join Eartha on a guided “Playlist” exercise aimed at helping participants discover how their bodies respond to different musical situations. The playlist consists of instrumental clips representing various scenarios. Eartha encourages participants to perform a body scan while listening, noting their physical reactions without judgment. Be open to the importance of recognizing distracting thoughts. Distracting thoughts can be compared to squirrels jumping around in their environment. During the practice if a distraction pulls your focus away, Eartha invites you to write down any triggers or negative reactions before moving on.
Eartha discusses the importance of managing stress by taking deep breaths and choosing calm responses to challenging situations. While life is full of unpredictable stressors, individuals have the power to control their reactions through mindful breathing and decision-making. Eartha reminders listeners to seek support from friends, family, religious leaders, or healthcare providers when facing difficult situations.

The power to change your life is already inside you. Let’s tap into it. In Creating Manifestation Power into the Now by Eva Gajic shows you how to move beyond routine living and reconnect with your higher self. This guide will help you shift your mindset, trust your inner voice, and unlock the manifestation power within to create the life you truly want.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
It seems like just about everything these days comes with a user manual. Our car comes with a huge one, phones have ‘em, the Electric kettle you just plug in, add water and turn on has one and most of us rarely open them. But did you know there’s a manual for the human mind? I had no idea it existed – I may have read that one.
Its mission is simple: show you how to master your thoughts instead of being mastered by them. That’s pretty useful. It can also lift your energy and outlook, so you attract more positive experiences. It brings calm and clarity, even when life feels chaotic. And maybe best of all, it reminds you that you’re more than your daily routine — you’re capable of growth, joy, and creating change from the inside out.
Of course, the mind is a deep subject, and this “manual” can feel overwhelming. That’s why today we’re keeping it simple — focusing on the basics of who you are and what life is really about. And to do that, you’ll need to learn how to tap into your higher self and that begins with an understanding of Consciousness.
Here’s Eva Gajic, author of Creating Manifestation Power into the Now.
Eva – Consciousness is the subject awareness of ourselves and our thoughts and our feelings. So when people pray, they pray to a higher being, so God, source energy or something like that but higher consciousness is a level of consciousness, a frequency that sits above our crown chakra which is above our heads and when we meditate and we pray and we sit in silence we can connect to our higher selves and meditating.
Did you hear that? She said “above our heads” and that’s important. Consciousness is energy outside ourselves and we tap into it with our thoughts which are made up of frequencies and vibrations. Think about it this way, everything is energy.
Eva – We’ve had great people throughout time in history who all knew this and understood the principles of vibration and frequency and when we think things, to say we’re thinking a thought, it has a frequency to it and if we’re thinking a happy thought that has a frequency to it and it would only attract other things in tune with that frequency, so other happy things and if you’re thinking a negative thought then that has a lower vibration which would attract another lower vibrational frequencies out there so that’s why you find a lot of people who are thinking negatively seem to have everything falling around and apart around them and if you see someone walking in the room and they’re thinking and they’re vibrant and happy you can feel that energy because everyone’s uplifted, they’re happy, they’re smiling but if someone with a low vibration who’s thinking negatively and their thoughts are not on the right path you can sense a denseness in that room and everything becomes heavy so our thoughts have a vibration, a frequency and a resonance and we’re constantly emitting that out from ourselves every second of the day even now as we’re speaking.
I’m sure you’ve felt that kind of energy before. Party energy vs. funeral energy or the kind of hate and negativity we are feeling a lot lately. It’s real, it has an effect and it can be hard to stay positive in the face of so much negativity but it’s important to at least try.
Eva – It’s fear itself that inhibits people from achieving their goals. The biggest thing that people fear the most is fear. It’s the biggest inhibitor it is.
So how can you tap into the universal supply of abundance and live a happy and fulfilling life? Can you do it just by staying positive? Well, sort of.
Eva – What I find is people who are doing affirmations, I hear them saying well i’m not feeling good I’m feeling sick I’m tired I’m this and it’s what they are not and instead of what i’m i’m great I’m feeling good I’m fantastic i’m healthy I’m joy I’m peace i’m love they’re saying all these negative things to themselves and not realizing that every cell within your body you have millions of them listen to that frequency that’s coming out of your mouth and it vibrates into your cells and sending that signal out again so you’re saying i want that dream house i want a million dollars and then you’re saying i’m sick and crap i’m having a horrible day and then it’s just contradicting everything you’ve just said.
Eva knows what she is talking about. She is a psychic. Her abilities have been with her all her entire life, and her books are designed to help people with their individual development while providing truths about who we all are. Creating Manifestation Power into the Now is an introduction so if you’ve stuck with me so far then you are open to the idea that everything is energy and the consciousness is not located inside your brain so I’m hoping you are also open to the idea that we are all eternal beings who have lived many lives.
We all have seen civilizations rise and fall and we are here today to awaken to our true power which is ultimately to elevate humanity to a higher consciousness by raising our own consciousness and doing that begins with a fundamental understanding of why we are here.
Eva – If you look at it like this and I don’t know if people have heard or heard about this this way but if you think of every life that we’ve lived because we do live many many lives. so you’re living this journey and then you will transition and then you’ll reincarnate as another person but you have to think of all our lives and everyone’s everyone goes through this we have many many many lifetimes and everyone thinks they have to achieve all their goals in this one lifetime it doesn’t work that way so if you think of um like a long line and then you do um a thousand um dashes on them and all those dashes represent a lifetime that you’ve lived you can experience everything that you need to for your soul’s growth for the expansion of your soul in all your lifetimes broken up it doesn’t have to be achieved in this one section as ever. Your millions of dollars or your dream house or your dream car whatever people desire can be achieved in another lifetime.
Talk about playing the long game…You and I are infinite by nature. We are limitless, abundant and powerful, we cannot be created nor destroyed and we have the power to manipulate the energy around us to create our own unique reality.
Eva – This is why I write this book it’s an introduction and there are many books out there that do introduce people to manifestation but what I found is it some books do say oh well if you think I’m going to win a million dollars and if I say that every day I will mean it we win a million dollars that’s nice that’s great it’s fantastic he doesn’t want win a million dollars but the reality is that you do have um a higher self and and you do have a soul contract everyone has a soul contract in this journey um that we’re living on earth right now and you can’t achieve things if it’s not written in your contract so I say if it’s not in my contract to win a million dollars I won’t be winning a million dollars until I’ve learned my lessons.
That’s a rare takeaway: want to win a million dollars? First, find out who you are and whether that kind of wealth is in your cards. Eva’s deep understanding of the universe lets her explain manifestation and consciousness with clarity.
Eva – I live in Melbourne, Australia and I’m the founder of Innate Consciousness Network and my background, I have a degree in architecture and a long career as an architect and director. My passion is dedicated to helping others about the universe and raising their collective awareness of this planet and I came about this book as I was inspired by my late parents who always encouraged me to be proud of my gifts and who I love with all my heart and I received a message from my spirit guide because I’m connected to higher consciousness who reminded me of my purpose in this incarnation as ever and this purpose is to share my knowledge with the rest of the world that I’m of who we are as conscious beings and as I’m also cognizant which is a psychic ability, I have the innate capability to know things intuitively that others do not. My whole life I’ve always understood the universe in which we live and I’m able to go into detail on topics from my connection to higher consciousness. So this book is an introduction of higher consciousness and how any person can tap into their higher selves and it’s the first book of many to come and it’s important to understand the basics before you step into the next levels and I guess my gifts can help people transcend to ascension by following the processes that I have outlined in this book.
You are more powerful than you can possibly imagine or have been led to believe. The power to change your life is already inside you. Let’s tap into it. The book is Creating Manifestation Power into the Now by Eva Gajic spelled E-v-a G-a-j-i-c and it is available online at Amazon.com and many other places online.

Together, they highlight the best of the area, even if you aren’t a self-professed “Gilly.”

What did the world look like when everything stopped? Clearer skies, quieter streets, and a chance to rethink our lives. Steve Gleadhill’s Reverberations Oh Brave New Normal World Living with Coronavirus, Book Two takes us back to those strange days of the pandemic — not just the fear, but the reflection, the resilience, and the unexpected insights that came with it.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Remember those early days of the pandemic? Not just the empty streets or the empty grocery store shelves, but the way life itself seemed to pause. Skies were clearer, traffic was gone and for many of us, the noise of daily routine gave way to a deeper kind of self reflection. Many of us began to reevaluate our situations in an effort to figure out just what exactly are we doing with our lives? A lot of books were written during the pandemic and a lot of personal stories were shared that may not have been otherwise.
Where were you when it all began to happen? In February of 2020 I was on a cruise ship which turned out to be one of the last cruises for quite some time because in March the world began to change. Steve Gleadhill was also on vacation.
Steve Gleadhill – We were in Australia at the time, because my wife and I used to spend six months in Australia to get out of the British winter. And we got to love Australia. But as it happened, when COVID happened, Australia was one of the first countries to be very strict about letting people in and out. And so we were there. We were meant to go in April and we were there till July. So we were actually there for nine months, not six months as normal. So that also prompted me to think, right, well, this is something I’ve never experienced before.
As you can see Steve Gleadhill is more than just a casual observer. He has spent a lifetime asking questions and serving his community.Born in Hull England in 1950, he studied English at Leeds University and spent twenty years with the Newcastle City Library, before moving into community and government liaison work across northeast England.So when the pandemic hit, his instinct was to start documenting, not just for himself, but for everyone.
Steve Gleadhill – I was in the habit of emailing friends back in the UK on a regular basis.And normally it would have gone down to the beach, got sunburned or whatever. But this time it was about, well, I’ve read about this, I’ve read about that. It started with me emailing almost weekly bulletins to my friends in the UK about all the different aspects of Covid. Kept me busy, kept hopefully of interest to them.
This is where Steve says he had mixed emotions because while he was living safely in Australia his loved ones were having a much tougher time of it in the UK. It was pretty bad there. Anyway, what started as a series of e-mails and conversations turned into something much bigger. Ultimately it will be a four part series of books on both the immediate catastrophic impact the crisis had as well as its long-term ramifications.
The first three books are readily available and they’re titled “Oh Brave New Normal World: Living with Coronavirus.” Today, let’s focus on Book two, Reverberations.
Steve Gleadhill – So the idea is to remember what we went through and then sort of think, well, did we actually learn from that experience? And that’s what the reverberations are about. It’s about the repercussions because of the COVID. That’s what I try to outline in that book.
Future books in the series will widen the lens to take on politics and global affairs. Think back to the Capitol riots in the U.S. — enough said, we all remember. In Britain, leadership turned into a revolving door of Prime Ministers. And across Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and Germany there were also leadership changes showing how much political change was happening at the time.
Steve Gleadhill – But in this one, it’s about how that initial effect affected us and what we were, you know, how we reacted to it. And then I would like people to go back and think, well, did we lose that? Did we lose something as a result of having been forced to lock down and do all the other things?
So let’s take a step back. Think about those early days of the lockdown. I realize that for many of you it’s not a pleasant memory but it’s an exercise to help gain some perspective, which will hopefully bring a new kind of strength and wisdom.
Steve Gleadhill – We were stuck at home most of the time. And I just started reading some of the daily news. And whereas normally I skip over it, I started to get more interested. What I got interested in was not just the medical side, but how it was affecting us, society, the planet, etc.
American philosopher George Santayana once said “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. History gives us wisdom. When something new and overwhelming hits, we rarely get it right the first time. We certainly made mistakes here in the U.S. But if we take the time to look back, to examine the choices that were made, we do have the chance to evolve and maybe avoid repeating the same mistakes and that’s what’s at the heart of Steve’s series.
Steve Gleadhill – In Britain, you had Johnson, who decided he was going to go to a rugby match. There was a football match held in Liverpool against Madrid, which actually at the time was the centre of where most of the illnesses and deaths were happening. At the time, Madrid was like a no-go area. And yet, if you saw Johnson, it was almost as if he was like, well, I think I can braid my way through this, and that’s what he tried to do. But then reality came, and he realized that he needed to do a lot more. And I just felt that, with the leaders, that there was a thing where, at first, I think they were hoping it would just go away and when it didn’t…
Well, the rest is history. He focuses primarily on the UK, Australia and the U.S. but the books are global in their focus and he does touch on the crisis in India.
Steve Gleadhill – India had a very bad bout of doing it, of deaths, et cetera, and what was happening. So I did want to make sure that I didn’t just, I certainly didn’t want to just focus on the UK, because I didn’t feel that would give people the idea of exactly what was happening globally.
Something I found particularly troubling was how numb we became to the ongoing death toll and I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but in isolation all we could do was watch the numbers climb.
Steve Gleadhill – But I didn’t want to home in. I didn’t basically want to say, oh, well, here are the statistics, I think, because it wasn’t that it wasn’t incidental, but it was only one factor of everything that was happening to us.
He focuses instead on things you may not have considered like animals and our environment.
Steve Gleadhill – But the animals, it was quite interesting because, again, once COVID came in, you suddenly found these animals reappearing where they used to be. And the story in Australia is that there were kangaroos going along the streets of Adelaide during the COVID. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were bouncing about through the streets because nobody was there and they were doing it. There’s a wonderful cartoon of these animals looking through a window at humans like we would look through them at a zoo. And it was quite funny. But, yeah, then, of course, what happened was, again, with pollution, for instance, one of the statistics I came across in one of the books was that the amount of deaths through pollution normally is very high, and suddenly it dropped fantastically because the factories were shut, etc. There wasn’t all the stuff there. But yet, very quickly, of course, we’re back to that level of pollution.
Have we learned any lessons at all? That is a key takeaway. He says for a moment our country’s wildlife got a reprieve but now the number of animals on the endangered species list is absolutely horrific. We do have the wisdom of perspective but are we smart enough to do anything with it. I guess that is the million dollar question. It’s also why his book cover features a finger pushing the globe off a cliff.
Steve Gleadhill – When I came across this, I couldn’t believe my luck because it’s not just the globe. It’s the fact that somebody is pushing it over the edge. And that’s exactly the feeling I wanted to generate among readers in looking at the book. We came close. I don’t want to be overdramatic. I don’t think we came close to the world ending, but we came close to pushing ourselves and certain things to that edge. And to some extent, I still feel even now when I look at some of the politics, even now, they are results of what we went through in that time.
The book is Reverberations, Book Two: Oh Brave New Normal World: Living with Coronavirus by Steve Gleadhill. Was COVID a turning point for humanity, pushing the world to the edge? And are we wise enough to apply the lessons it taught us? The answers will differ for each of us, but the questions are worth asking. You can find the books now on Amazon or wherever you shop online. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

“Haste ye back” A Scottishsaying
Welcome to a very special episode of Kitchen Chat: A Taste of Luxury, History & Hospitality. Today, we’re traveling to a storybook setting in Scotland. Let’s visit Cromlix, the breathtaking Victorian mansion and five-star luxury country house hotel near Dunblane, owned by tennis legend, Sir Andy Murray and his wife, Kim. This majestic and historic mansion even includes a chapel. Hospitality is engrained in the Scottish culture, and Cromlix exemplifies the graciousness of Scotland. Don your “wellies” and explore the 34 acres of serene countryside including a kitchen garden and a tree swing that invites you back to your childhood.
Screenshothttps://youtu.be/z-t9_ZXIS4cCromlix welcomes guests with both timeless Scottish heritage and contemporary luxury with resplendent interiors designed by renowned designer Suzanne Garuda. This is a place where every detail tells a story, from the grandeur of its architecture to the warmth of its welcome.
You can reserve an exquisite Afternoon Tea served daily in the Glass House dining area or if your dog accompanies you, the staff will accommodate Afternoon tea in the living room area.
Host Margaret McSweeney sits down with the gracious General Manager, Barry Makin, to discuss the spirit of this magnificent property and the perfected hospitality. “The style of luxury we want to deliver at Cromlix is a relaxed and understated luxury that makes people feel welcome. We want to welcome you into our home and not a hotel,” Makin says. From the tranquil beauty of its grounds to the exquisite dishes crafted with local ingredients, this episode is a masterclass in modern Scottish luxury.
A poignant moment for Margaret was serendipitously meeting a Scottish bagpiper who was walking into Cromlix Chapel to practice before a wedding. As many of you know, Margaret launched Kitchen Chat as a way to honor her late father who was a gourmet home chef, world traveler and accomplished musician. Her dad even loved to play the bagpipes, and his favorite song to play was Amazing Grace. This kind bagpiper in Cromlix Chapel played Amazing Grace for Margaret.
Screenshot“Haste ye back,” a Scottish phrase meaning “You are always welcome to return” reflects the depth of hospitality at Cromlix. I look forward to one day returning to this cherished place.
Remember, every episode of Kitchen Chat can be heard on all podcast platforms and NOW heard on The Great British Tea Party on Facebook.
Savor the day!
Charles and Anthony discussed the history and evolution of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), starting from their inception under the Bush administration to the Obama era’s significant boost through the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act and the Affordable Care Act. They highlighted the consolidation of the EHR market, with Epic emerging as a dominant player, while smaller vendors serve regional and mom-and-pop practices. Charles shared his personal journey with various EHR systems, including Cerner and Meditech, and mentioned that his hospital is transitioning to Epic in 2026, reflecting a national trend. They also touched on the integration of AI into healthcare operations and the anticipation of AI’s role in improving EHR systems. Thanks!
In this week’s episode in the series Get to Know Perry Before Paris, owners of North Georgia’s Bent Tree Lodge and Cairn View Winery talk with host Clare about their story of developing the property. Together, they elaborate on the ways their place hits all the high points of why people travel including the North Georgia wine scene, nature and hikes, and the general area. Clare attempts to persuade listeners that this place may be, more than any other, the crux behind the series’ theme.

Near-death experiences have become more and more of a problem for us in recent years, because they have confused so many people. They can feel so extraordinary that some who have them, not our guest today of course, but some recent experiencers think they must have died and then come back to life! And IANDS, the International Association for Near-Death Studies, used to police what people said at their conferences, but not so much anymore. So we are going to have to say here just quickly once again that death is ALWAYS a one-way trip! And NEAR-death experiences are instances of spontaneous out-of-body travel into the astral plane, usually when, for one reason or another, the material body is briefly unable to support life. And when that happens, and we suddenly find ourselves awake and aware in the astral plane, which is an entirely different environment from the earth, our spirit guides will often give us weird and amazing experiences that are educational, and are meant for us alone. These experiences sometimes even include a trip to a fake fiery hell that is meant to shape us up! And then, of course, we come back into our body, and we wake up. So, what can we assume but that we have died and then come back to life? But in fact, such a round trip to the afterlife is impossible, because the definition of death is the severing of the energy cord from your energy body to your material body that keeps your material body alive when you astral travel, which in fact we all often do, and nearly every night while our bodies sleep. And that silver cord cannot be re-attached, once it breaks. So, if some living person is able to tell you their NDE story, that person never has actually died! And they never have been to where the dead go. All of that being said, near-death experiences can be amazing, and many of them are life-transforming. And our guest today had his first transformative near-death experience when he was only three years old! Jacob Cooper is with us today on Seek Reality for the fifth time. His first book was entitled Life After Breath, and it begins with his remarkable near-death experience at the age of only three. His second book, called The Wisdom of Jacob’s Ladder, talks about his many further extraordinary spiritual experiences, and what he has learned from them. We have really loved having Jacob Cooper as our guest on Seek Reality, and we are delighted to have him back once again! Jacob’s website is www.Jacoblcooper.com.

The pandemic unleashed a strange half-world – not the comfortably familiar one we all knew and loved, but one in which we had to tread carefully and remain vigilant. Subsequently, it became a game of risk management that created tensions between the political desire to return to some form of normality and the need to protect lives. Inevitably, this conflict of interests led to confusion, confrontation and, sadly, deaths. Despite some catastrophic misjudgments at the governmental level, we ourselves must also shoulder some of the blame.
Social media added fuel to the fire for those who chose to challenge the official guidance as an infringement on their personal freedoms and rights and preferred to interpret events as evidence of institutional conspiracies.
Amid this mayhem, our planet was suffering. It was estimated that one million of our eight million species on Earth are threatened with extinction – some within decades. A report by World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) and the Zoological Society of London revealed that animal populations globally have plunged by 68% in more than twenty thousand populations of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish in the last fifty years.

You have elements within you that form the beautiful stars shining brightly at night. You are a shining star.
Humans are creatures of habit and routine. Just as it takes us years to develop our adult personalities, we also develop behaviours and habits that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, some of those behaviours and habits are not always healthy or helpful to us.
In Creating Manifestation Power into the Now, author Eva Gajic seeks to reveal many truths to our reality that have been around for thousands of years. Through our divine connection to the world around us, each of us has inherent abilities that allow us to create our life the way we would like to live it.
You can rewire your mindset for success and live the life you choose to live rather than one that is happening to you. Through a shift in thinking, you too can be on the road to success.
This self-improvement guide provides methods for tapping into your own manifestation power, waking up the dormant self that sleeps within, and learning to trust your inner voice.

Dr. Charles Antinori interviewed his nephew Dr. Joseph Chavez Carey, a family practitioner who discussed his career path and current role as director of primary care at a regional hospital. They explored the evolving business models in family practice, including the shift from independent to employed doctors and the emergence of direct primary care, while examining historical changes in healthcare payment systems and reimbursement structures. The conversation covered how Medicare and Medicaid payment reductions, combined with administrative burdens and the impact of various healthcare acts, led to significant changes in the medical profession, including the rise of employed physician positions and increased bureaucracy.

One of the things that those who are part of our podcast family especially enjoy is hearing about special ways in which we can learn to communicate with people who have gone on ahead of us to the next plane of life. And one of the most wonderful ways that has ever been developed for therapists to help people to hear from their transitioned loved ones is called Induced After-Death Communication, or IADC Therapy. This method was first developed decades ago by Dr. Alan Botkin and some others, including our wonderful friend Dr. R. Craig Hogan, and it can be literally miraculous. In some cases, it can produce such perfect meetings with transitioned loved ones that grief is almost entirely healed. Our guest today, all the way from Australia, is Dr. Tom Nehmy. He is a clinical psychologist with over 20 years’ experience, and he has a literal passion for healing grief with Induced After-Death Communication Therapy. Dr. Nehmy has had his own spontaneous after-death communications, and he is now a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide, where he has conducted a controlled evaluation of IADC Therapy. He also runs a virtual private practice, with a mission to make this amazing and extraordinary form of therapy available to anyone, anywhere in the world, from the comfort of their own home. He is the author of a new book called Inspired Life, Beautiful Death: Healing grief, overcoming fear of death & living a spiritual life, in which he details his personal spiritual awakening and journey from being a therapist who felt completely helpless in the face of grief, to being able to profoundly help people using IADC. He has previously been awarded the 2015 Flinders University Vice-Chancellor’s Prize for Doctoral Thesis Excellence, and he has delivered workshops and keynote addresses to more than 50,000 people worldwide. He is now considered a leading IADC expert, and we are so fortunate to have him with us today. Dr. Tom Nehmy’s website is www.tomnehmy.com. And you can learn more about IADC therapy at www.healinggriefwithiadc.com.

When I look
Into your eyes
I see a new planet
You may ask me why?
You eyes meant always brown, it’s blue
I removed your glasses
I discovered a new planet
It was never there
I as looked deeper
The most tiny eyes, of colors blue
I discovered a new planet
Meant to be discovered, only by me
Where was not meant for others to view
But, me …
It’s beautiful to see, I discovered the 9th
How you discover a planet?
By a microscope?
A telescope like Magellan, in Chile
Where hydrogen gas falling onto it
An exoplanet forming … a discovery?
Telescopes Spitzer and Hubble the masteries
Revealed discoveries of exoplanets
From elements, mass and characterization
To atmospheric spheres and weather maps
It’s takes lenses and man’s eyes
…. to map and jump into the future
It’s not an illusion nor an intrusion
To seek knowledge beyond …
To dream big and reach beyond our skies …
We know more of planets
Than of our oceans
Why?
Why humans seeks to explore the impossible?
To go far beyond the … the distance
… galaxies and constellation
To reach beyond the stars
To go the extra mile in our heads
To bring it to reality but,
… is to who we are “humans”
Humans always seeking knowledge
We must always seek challenges
From the first and as we last
We never take “No” for an answer
… and it is with this hunger and needs
That we feed our curiosity
Yea, is with this hunger and need
That we feed our curiosities …
We’ve the capacity to triumph
That’s because, I know
“If you can think it, you can do it!”
There’s doubt we humans …
“Our minds expands like a rubber band!”
Let’s note, a born baby
The moment born
He let’s us know
He/she is here alright
By the first breath and a kick with its cries
They all sponges …
Absorbing and grabbing all
Listening, eating, growing, smiling
… and grabbing all on its paths
It’s up to us to keep them safe
Why is it, only humans must tend to its young?
Why animals instinctively survive and strive
Rather, quickly compared to Homo Sapiens?
I think is love to remain linked forever
A chick is feed by its mother … there’s love
Of course, with no doubts
As we go … about
To leap on like frogs
As we walked Earth’s moon
Other moons, next?
We creatures with exploration
With exquisite minds …
Whether, you like it or not
The minds always hungry, for more …
Like a black hole …
It must be feed not to the wolves
If I look deep into your eyes
Of further satisfied …
To discover a new plant
To discover a newer planet
Full of an unknown wine
As I bring it to Earth
All man, have tasted
All their bad seeds, gone …
Where, once was hate, replaced by love
Where, hope buried new flowers flourished
Where, there was a cemetery a church created
Where, black was the norm now sun appeared
Love is everywhere …
In the air, in the skies, in the room
… and underground
In your mind asleep and no sleep
All you hear are birds …
As they whispered songs of love
All couples kissing and holding hands
There’s no police, no need
Only love, exists …
It’s a new beautiful world
For you …
For me …
All world’s babes to be …
Love, has spread everywhere
Would you join me
… and follow me?

Fremantle, founded in 1829, tells the story of Western Australia through its hotels. From the colony’s first four inns to the bustling port town of 1890, The Inns and Outs of Fremantle traces how pubs shaped its streets, culture, and community. To know these hotels is to know Fremantle itself.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Back in April I told you about a town on the edge of the Indian Ocean where you can still walk the same streets your great-great-grandparents once did. A place where colonial jails still stand, where the old inns shaped politics and society, and where a town hall from 1887 still anchors the community.
Today we are going to have another look at the town of Fremantle in Western Australia through the eyes of author and historian Alan Graham. He’s spent more than forty years documenting the details of this remarkable port city. In part one of our conversation we examined the early days — how Fremantle was founded, who shaped its growth, and why its hotels tell us more about survival than simple recreation.
To set the stage: Fremantle wasn’t founded until 1829, decades after Sydney and other settlements in the east. Unlike them, it was meant to be a “free” colony — no convict labor, just settlers trying to build a life on their own. That sounded noble, but in practice, it was brutally hard.
Alan Graham – Well, they were very tough. The colony was formed in a bit of a rush, really. The eastern states had been formed from 1788 on the east coast, and by then I’m talking about cities like Sydney. But Fremantle and Perth, Western Australia, weren’t formed until 1829. That’s when my book starts. And where was Sydney at the help with convicts being transported from the UK to the east states? We’re going to be a free sector, so all the people coming out to Western Australia were going to be looking after themselves. No help with convicts or anything like that. And probably the colony got off to a bit of a bad start. No real planning went into it. So the 1830s and 1840s, and going into the 1850s, were very, very hard times for these new settlers to Western Australia.
He says many of the new settlers were expecting opportunity instead of the barren, unforgiving landscape that they found. So they immediately left.
Alan Graham – And often people turned around when they arrived here and thinking, hang on, we’re not going to stay here. This is not what we thought it was going to be like. They thought it was going to be some type of utopia.So the 30s and 1830s, 1840s, and part of the 1850s would probably be the hardest times in Western Australia’s history.
Alan’s first book, The Inns and Outs of Fremantle, covers 1829 to 1856. It’s framed by two governors who, in different ways, defined the colony’s drinking culture and politics.
Alan Graham – Well, the two governors I talk about mostly are the gentleman called Governor Stirling. He was the very first governor. He had been here to WA in Western Australia in 1827.And he’s the person who wrote the report to say that Western Australia could be a good place for a colony. But he probably embellished the report a bit and made it to be grander than what it turned out to be. When the colony was started, he then became the governor for the next eight years. But really a lot of people thought, gee, Stirling, you kind of led us a little bit along here with what you kind of promoted.
Stirling painted Western Australia as a land of plenty, but it was more mirage than reality. By the 1850s, Governor Kennedy faced a different challenge.
Alan Graham – Western Australia is taking convicts. So we took 9,700 male convicts from the UK between the years 1850 to 1868. Now, when Governor Kennedy arrived here in 1855, there’s a real big problem with drinking in the colony. So he thinks, gee, we’ve got too many hotels. So he set out to de-license a number of those hotels. So the start and finish of my book starts with Governor Stirling, and it finishes with Governor Kennedy, and it traces the drinking history between those years, 1829 to 1856.
You can de-license all the hotels in town, and people will still find a way to drink — ask Al Capone. From Stirling’s exaggerations to Kennedy’s crackdown, Fremantle’s first decades were shaped as much by leadership as by the settlers themselves. In his new book, Part Two of the trilogy, Alan takes us from the 1850s to the 1890s.
Alan Graham – Well, okay, the hotel numbers have been reduced now because of Governor Kennedy’s impetus, and really then there’s a moratorium on hotel numbers. So, for instance, Fremantle had nine hotels, and it’s now dropped back to five hotels in 1857. And it stays that way until 1872 when there’s a change to the licensing laws, and over time Fremantle starts to build and increase its hotel numbers again. People took the opportunity of a change in the licensing laws to think, well, hang on, this is a good opportunity to get into the hotel trade. So you start to see the hotel numbers increasing incrementally. But what’s just as important with my book is I call it the ins and outs, so the emphasis is on the ins there, I double NS, and the outs.
Fremantle wasn’t just about hotels. Streets, inns, and public buildings like the Town Hall were giving the town a recognizable shape.
Alan Graham – For instance, our town hall was built in 1887. So that’s a big part of the storyline of the new book. So now I’ve got part one and part two of the trilogy published now.
But while hotels and town halls tell us about the people and politics, the sea was Fremantle’s engine. Ships brought goods, passengers, and ideas, shaping the town’s character as much as any building or law.
Alan Graham – Well, we’re a port, so we’re pretty much a seafarer town. We still didn’t have our own Fremantle harbour. We have a very prominent international harbour now, but that wasn’t open until 1897. We had a couple of jetties, which weren’t that really popular with seafarers because they were very exposed to some fairly rough ocean off our coast here in WA. So there’s a lot of negative stories from seafarers talking about, OK, there may be a jetty, but it’s still a precarious one to unload at. But nonetheless, we either had the jetty where we had men working on the jetty unloading, so we’re a port, so a lot of people working on the jetties and servicing the boats. Often ships unloaded at sea, so they had what they called lighter men, where their cargoes would be put onto sort of barges and then brought onto the shore as well. So we’re pretty much a sort of maritime town.
Precarious or not, the port kept Fremantle alive — fueling trade, agriculture, and wool exports. The old jail still stands too, and if you’re visiting, it’s worth a wander. In fact, while we’re on the subject of the jail, you need to hear about the famous escape of the “Fremantle Six.”
Allen Graham – Here is a hotel in Fremantle that’s now called the Orient Hotel. But in the 1870s, that was a hotel called the Emerald Isle. And it was run by a fellow called Maloney. So he’s got Irish connections. But one of the big folklore stories of Western Australia’s history is the escape of the Fenians. Now, I don’t know whether that’s a story that’s come up to your audience before, but we had a lot of transported convicts in the 1850s. A lot of them were people from Ireland, but there was a kind of plot that was hatched. Some of these Irish Fenians were actually smuggled out. They escaped from Fremantle jail on an American waiver called the Catalpa. Now, it was an Irish American that was actually placed himself in Fremantle at this hotel, the Emerald Isle, and was able to steal the six Fenians out of Western Australia. So it was a big international event in world history at that time. And those Fenians escaped on this American waiver called the Catalpa and made their way back to Boston.
Smithsonian Magazine calls the Catalpa rescue “an audacious prison break as elaborate and preposterous as any Ocean’s Eleven script,” so it’s definitely worth looking into.
As Alan says, sometimes history isn’t just something you read about — it’s something you can walk. Fremantle’s streets, its inns, and its jetties carry the stories of those who lived and worked here long before us.
Alan Graham – As I said, I’ve got this website, Fremantle History Walking Tour. I’ve had good reviews on that
Whether you read his books or stroll the streets with a tour, Alan Graham makes it easy to step back in time and experience Fremantle through its inns, ports, pubs, and hidden corners. With Fremantle’s 200th anniversary coming up in 2029, maybe it’s the perfect excuse to add Perth to your travel bucket list.
Alan Graham – Yeah, we’re celebrating our 200th anniversary in 2029. So we’re five years short of that at the moment. So my books are kind of meant to come out to be a little bit of a matching that sort of big anniversary date in 2029.
And yep — books, plural. It’s a trilogy. The first two are already out: Part One dives into the early settlers, hardships, and convicts. Part Two explores Fremantle’s growth, laws, and architecture. And Part Three? Well, we’ll just have to wait and see.

… There’s places in this world that’s soooo …
Incredibly beautiful readily beautiful
Like the birth of your child, the heart beating
Of two souls both known truths … you can’t
Live without each other because, love grew
And sprout out like a flower waiting to be
-From its mother’s root
You got to be strong
More than good
And an angel to live the longest
This way in your heart, mind and soul
You’re growing to be the tallest
Than any mountain …
-Since you’ve loved endless …
You’ll never stop growing
Little by little …
You reaching towards heaven
Practice every day
You must always know
Love is a rose without thorns
-This way, you never get cut!
-Love cuts, when love runs out!
Love cures all diseases …
Love cured a heart
That talked a lot
Because, thought by
Talking, they’ll listened
And resolved, a messy heart without love …
However, forgot by talking too much
Wrongly judged … best advice
Say extremely microscopic bits!
Do not entertain, say nothing
Listen instead and thus, speak not when ask
-Prefer always to wait …
-And let all others speak
Stand straight, poised, pause, reserve, strong
Golden heart, soft and well spoken
Stating the truth because, an angel
Like a child, innocent full of love
And always ready and in demand for actions
And lead with heart-fully in truth …
Be always more than good
Aim to be your very best
When you get scold, humiliated, laughed at
Bullied, mistreated, falsely accused
As speaks the truth and belittled …
Say nothing, walk away and pray …
Don’t ever
Be scared
But, prepared!
When you’re prepared
You never scared!
Be always nice, kind hearted
Smile and go out
Prove all wrong
By succeeding all the way
Your way never hurting no one
Along your way
Love the strongest of all the bonds
My heart is full of love
… and it has set me free

Dr. Charles Antonori and his brother Joseph, a family practitioner with 20 years of experience, launched their “Make America Healthy” podcast to discuss the evolution of family practice and internal medicine, as well as healthcare financing. They explored Joseph’s journey from English literature to primary care, the challenges of primary care compensation and workload, and the impact of nurse practitioners and physician assistants on the medical field. The brothers discussed the evolving landscape of healthcare technology, patient care, and the challenges of electronic medical records, agreeing to continue their conversation about healthcare economics in future sessions.
Jesus gave us two great spiritual lessons that are the core of the reason why we choose to be born on earth. We chose to be born so we can learn how to love more perfectly, and we choose to be born so we can ever better learn how to forgive! Learning those two lessons is what LIFE is all about! And it was not until just a few years ago, that I found a real forgiveness expert who taught forgiveness so well that I thought we could make her our Seek Reality GURU of forgiveness. That was when I met today’s guest. Until then, we would just talk about A Course in Miracles, which Jesus channeled to us in the nineteen-sixties. The miracle that Jesus taught in that thick blue book full of tiny print in A Course in Miracles is forgiveness. And Jesus tells us in A Course in Miracles that Forgiveness miracles all come in just one size. No matter what happens in our lives, we always must, and we can, forgive it. Whatever happens! Forgiving goes hand in hand with loving. And fortunately, Jesus’s method of automatic, prevenient forgiveness works very well indeed! But our guest today teaches another approach to forgiveness that might work even better for you. Our guest, who is with us today for the eighth time, is Brenda Reiss. Brenda is dedicated to helping people overcome obstacles that hold them back from living life to its fullest, by guiding them through a special 5-Step Forgiveness Process. She says that self-forgiveness helped her to transition out of victimhood, and into the life that she was meant to live. So Brenda learned how to forgive, and she also now has a very successful forgiveness coaching practice. She has written a great little book called Forgive Yourself, which is brief and easy to understand. Here are two key points to remember about forgiveness! First, the people who wrong us do not care whether we ever forgive them. They don’t care. So forgiveness of others is always the gift that we give to ourselves! And forgiveness is the greatest gift that we ever can give to ourselves, no matter how hard it may be! Because forgiveness of others really is our own FREEDOM.

This episode delves into the delicate balance between intrinsic passion and extrinsic support—especially in education and the workforce. Eartha shares heartfelt insights into how external motivators—often necessary for those navigating unmet basic needs—can coexist with inner drive when approached with care and intention.
Using the gentle analogy of a child learning to ride a bike, Eartha illustrates the importance of scaffolding growth for new learners, like graduate nurses, so they can build confidence without feeling overwhelmed. The discussion draws on foundational research by Edward Deci and Alfie Kohn, highlighting how extrinsic rewards may dampen intrinsic motivation, especially for tasks that are naturally enjoyable. Yet, through personal stories and compassionate reflection, Eartha challenges this notion, emphasizing that emotional sensitivity and relevance are key to sustaining engagement.
At the end of the podcast enjoy a seven minute bonus mini-podcast I developed with Microsoft’s Copilot. I asked Copilot a series of questions regarding intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. The bonus episode “Motivation Through Time”, invites the listener to explore the quiet power of intrinsic motivation—the inner spark that drives us to learn, grow, and connect with purpose.
Through a warm and insightful discussion, we journey across the lifespan, beginning with the natural curiosity of childhood. We reflect on how this innate drive can fade during adolescence, often overshadowed by external expectations like grades and performance. Yet, hope emerges as we examine how intrinsic motivation can reawaken and stabilize in adulthood, shaped by personal values, meaningful relationships, and lived experience.
Listeners will discover compassionate strategies for nurturing this inner drive—such as fostering autonomy, creating space for skill-building, and honoring each individual’s unique path. Together, we emphasize the importance of cultivating environments that uplift and inspire, rather than relying solely on rewards or pressure.
In summary educators and leaders are encouraged to communicate purpose clearly, recognize individual goals, and create environments where both types of motivation can flourish. Reflect on your personal incentives and the quiet joy of accomplishment—motivation is not a formula, but a relationship. Remember when we support the heart of motivation, we empower lifelong learning, resilience, and joy.

| Study / Author | Key Findings | Implications | | Edward Deci (1971) | External rewards (like money) reduced students’ intrinsic interest in puzzle-solving once the rewards stopped. | Incentives can undermine natural curiosity and enjoyment of learning. | | Alfie Kohn – Punished by Rewards(1994) | Rewards are a form of control that shift focus from learning to earning. They reduce creativity, persistence, and long-term motivation. | Encourages educators to foster autonomy and intrinsic motivation instead of using bribes. | | Simon Burgess et al. (2021) | Incentives had minimal impact on academic performance in a large-scale randomized trial. Only a small subset of students responded positively. | Incentives may not be cost-effective or broadly beneficial in educational settings. | | Brookings Institution Report | Incentives tied to effort (e.g., reading books) are more effective than those tied to outcomes (e.g., test scores), but long-term benefits are limited. | Suggests careful design of incentive programs, with emphasis on effort and growth. |
The Crone & Sage continue finding more “moments” throughout our day where pausing for a brief period of time to acknowledge something in our daily lives to help manage our personal spirituality a little bit better. We offer up two more in this episode: Appreciating a Good Weather Day and Acceptance with Grace. People are great at complaining about the weather but this is a way to enjoy our own “perfect” weather. Also there are times when we can all use some help to accomplish something and learning to accept that fact and allow us to be okay with that (the grace piece) prompted some interesting discussion points between us.
Host of “Retrain Your Brain” on Psychology Today, with a Master’s in School Psychology, Lisa Sheinhouse meets with Bryce Hamilton LSCSW to discuss the unique struggles of parenting neurodivergent children.
As a parent to a now adult child diagnosed with ADHD, Lisa shares both her professional and personal experience and lessons she learned through her journey. Together, Lisa and Bryce talk about: how to help shift our mindsets as caregivers to neurodivergent children, handle difficult choices, advocate for your child, and handle not only the challenging behaviors that can be present with neurodivergent children, but also the overwhelm and overstimulation that often affects the parent in these situations.
They stress the importance of acceptance and compassion with delayed diagnoses, choices to medicate or not, and general regret when you wish you had seen or done things differently.
A valuable and compassionate listen for any parent looking for support and guidance for parenting a neurodivergent child.

Tonight the Crone & Sage start talking about the Loafmas Activities that we are working on over the next season. We are looking at a number of beliefs concerning our practice of Witchcraft to see where we have grown and changed over the last year. In our Lunar Cycle, we are at the last of the Waning Cycle and tomorrow we start our 3 nights that we call the Dark Nights of the Moon where we can’t see it in the night sky. The Liturgy reading done by the Crone is a Praise Prayer this week about My Sacred Three. During the Ritualization of the Everyday, we realized that we are really much more connected to the Lunar Cycle than before and that we need to start deciding what we will be focusing on learning about over the upcoming Dark Half of the Year. Finally, our Sage finishes up with our usual Witchstones Reading about upcoming available energies.

This week our Seek Reality guest is again for the fifth time Brandy Gillmore. After all, here we are seeking reality together, and Brandy brings us here one of those stories that is very difficult to really even believe. When doctors had given up on her, she figured out how to heal herself. And that is a story that we love to hear! Just briefly, after an accident in 2003 left Brandy Gillmore wheelchair-bound and in terrible pain, doctors told her there was nothing more they could do for her, and this was going to be her life for the rest of her life. But she refused to believe that! She continued to search for a cure, and eventually she discovered cutting-edge research that changed the course of her life. Now she made a complete recovery! But for our wonderful friend, Brandy Gillmore, that was just the beginning. After she healed herself in 2010, she didn’t want to just “talk” about her healing, but she wanted to help others see certain proof that our minds really do possess the power to heal our bodies! And she wanted to PROVE that to the medical community! So in 2015, Brandy made that goal a reality when, for the first time, she was able to demonstrate self-healing in real-time under thermal medical imaging. Then soon after that, she was invited to deliver a TEDx talk, which was a pivotal moment for her!
| | |
Since then, Brandy has continued to demonstrate amazing healing results using medical thermal imaging. She demonstrates these results on her own podcast, which is called Heal Yourself. Change Your Life, and in speaking engagements for medical professionals and general audiences. Her book is called Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body. And it’s a must-read. Especially if you have health issues! The plain fact is that our minds really do possess an extraordinary ability to heal our bodies that is far beyond any placebo effect. And Brandy’s book, and her pioneering work together help everyone to understand the missing link to mind-body healing. They provide a simple, step-by-step process that helps everyone understand how we all can access this healing potential of our own minds. Brandy’s website is brandygillmore.com.

There’s no greater emotion, than love
It pulls you in like a whirlpool …
It pulles more, like a magnet as your love grows
It sucks you out when there’s no love
It grows more and endless, when you truly love
40 years ago, at 20 I found love …
My heart expanded more than a rubber band
At 25, a wedding band on my finger
5 years later, a son
40 years anniversary love grew like Mt. Everest
Love is not about who wins or lose
Love is not a contest about looks
Love is not you’re mine and am yours
No body owns nobody but, it is a flower to view
Beginning to grow and wanted to be nurtured …
The question could be …
Which flower you want to be?
Which one to choose, if you could?
What color, which instruction you should read
To let it be and let it all grow to the fullest?
Should you let it be view?
Should you preserve and admire it?
What length you would go to keep it forever?
Is a baby that came from you …
As you realized, it’s yours indeed to enjoy 4ever
Love is not a toy …
Love is a rose with no thorns, because you loved
Love is a burn that hurts, when you forgot 2love
Love cures the soul, and is music to your soul
Love grows, when your heart felt another heart
Love is two souls
Love is two in one
Love is two breaths in one
Love is it’s heat of two skins
Love is heat of two skin, sharing as one
Love forgives because, it’s free
Love is two hearts beating as one
Love is two birds
Love is two humans bringing life into this world
Love is crying from your heart when he’s sad
Love is crying from your heart when he’s in pain
Love wakes up with the sun
Love never dies when you are in love
Love spells A M O R, amor in Spanish
A more love, that is microscopic til endless more
A world should always have love,
always more of it …
Without love
The sun ends
Because, there are no souls to witness beauty
Beauty the continuation of life’s processes
A babe born, a flower blooming and a married … couple whom have endured 40 years of bliss
What is bliss, if there’s no love?
What is bliss without being nurtured?
What is bliss if waters are none?
Let’s take questions and give answers
Love is kind and never jealous …
Love is sweeter than honey
Love is tough but never rough
Love is a rose without thorns
Because, two hearts become one
It removed those thorns to avoid being cut
Because, there was love …and still is love
What are the secrets of 40 years togetherness?
You have to give space
You have to feel one’s heart
You have to give yours divinely
… so your sweetheart can live
You have to be able to feel his heart
You have to be able
Be his surgeon without an MD degree
You must able to take a stand for him
You should open your heart to him
Give him a hug and kiss him good nite, every nite
When you look at him
Give him all your dreams
Trust him with your life
Accept his faults and the not goods
Know his human’s just like you
Forgive him a hug
Be nice … to him
Love him endless
If he gets mad, let it be short
Make up, give him a hug
Say often, as much as you can
I love you … I love you, I will always love you
I adore you now, today and tomorrows
With sorrows and none
Am here, to pick you up
I forgot, am never perfect
My love is close to that of perfection for you
My heart is yours till the day, I die
My life is better with you in it
Why? Because, I found love
40 years with you
Seems, like today?
What happened to all of yesterday’s?
Like a quiet wind waking up as was asleep
All went so very fast … because, there was
Plenty of love
Of course …
Plentiful love
How do I begin to describe love?
Is a volcano exploiting and spitting out lava
Love what color?
You chose …
I know, my love is red to match my blood
It could be pink, to match my womanhood
Is purple to match my lips …
It’s sweet like my faith, with God in it
My love of 40 years?
Looks like an unknown rose
Perhaps a white Lilly
No, an orchid of an unknown nature
That’s because is name Minervalilliosa purposa
Is a marisposa … a butterfly with an esposo, husband a butterfly that learned to fly high
When it found love
40 years ago
Now been set free to love even more and explore
I found a planet
I found a seed
I found a new life waiting to be …
Near both, a life that waited and found love
There’s no limits to love
How far she could go
She doesn’t go alone
She takes love, everywhere she goes
Her escort, her love everywhere it shows
She has a heart …
She didn’t know she had
She had a heart full of love
She was so quiet …
She sat quietly in every single class front row
Her brother died …
Her favorite brother
Her sweetheart walked in same name, Jose
Her life changed
A sweetheart came to be
40 years later …
It was August 25, 2025
40 years came …
An anniversary her love
… in her heart

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Sometimes, a single event can change the course of your life. Today, we’re diving into a work of fiction that might hit close to home for some of you. Think about those moments that challenge us—the ones that make us question everything we thought we knew; when life pivots and the world you once relied on unravels, leaving you standing at the edge of something new.
For Selena LaRoche, the glamorous international model at the heart of P.J. Ellis’s After You, My Dear, I Will Always Follow You, that moment comes when she makes the brave decision to RUN.
Here’s a sneak peek at the beginning of Chapter 1, titled SELENA:
A.I. Voice Actor (Emma):As my plane climbed to the stratosphere, I leaned forward past my seat-mate. Like a petulant child, I had taken an aisle seat to avoid seeing the mountain range. But as the first peaks appeared, I knew I had to say goodbye. The summit materialized through the cloud cover, majestic in its beauty but leaving me discouraged and depressed. The sight stalked us for many minutes. I leaned back and closed my eyes, but the image was burned into my lids. Stalking was a subject I knew something about. My ex-husband, Victor LaRoche, had pursued me for three years as though he had to consume me to survive. I ran for my life. We were still together when he received the separation notice I had filed. He gunned his engine and roared into the driveway, crashing into the porch and demolishing three steps. Slamming the front door so hard the frame cracked, he stomped up the stairs and strode into the bedroom within an inch of me. I was terrified but managed to hold my head up.He gripped my jaw with his left-hand prosthesis and slapped my face with the right hand that held the summons. The paper contacted me with a loud crack.”You will not do this, Selena,” he said softly but coldly. His voice rose, “As long as you live, you will never try to do this again.” He emphasized, and his voice roared, “As long as you live!” He crumpled the paper in his right hand, then drew his left arm back, and I screamed and ducked. The prosthesis bored through the sheetrock, and the mechanism disengaged, embedding the multimillion bionic forearm in the bathroom wall like someone had severed it from his body with an axe. I wanted to laugh at him but did not want to hasten my demise.
And so it begins. Selena LaRoche, a gorgeous, thirty-five year old model; a six-foot beauty, leaves behind the life she thought was secure—fame, luxury, adventure—and now…the difficult journey of reclaiming her independence.
P.J. Ellis – I’ve known a lot of women who have been in this or similar situations. And I have been a little closer to this than I want to be. So, like Selena, when there’s a divorce, you not only leave the man, you leave a life behind, you leave your friends behind. And this is what happened to her. She has no remaining friends. I mean, she’s virtually alone. And it’s a fight for her self-determination and her independence
Selena’s journey takes her to Andersonville, Georgia—the site of a Civil War POW camp and while there is no comparison between her and the people who died there, she does feel imprisoned by her circumstances.
She left behind a lot so r ebuilding won’t be easy—but she’s not alone for long. Carl Rich, a widowed detective with his own troubled past, steps into her world. He becomes both protector and partner, offering insight, protection and dare I say the possibility of love.
P.J. Ellis – There is surveillance going on, there’s a crime in her backyard. And she meets a pair of detectives who want to try to solve some of these happenings that are going on. So one of the detectives turns out to be a romantic partner. His name is Carl. He wants to care for her and there is a marriage.
Selena also encounters Mia, a young girl trapped in a dangerous situation. The book is a romantic thriller, but it touches on social issues like abuse, control, and exploitation, showing how courage and compassion can make a difference.
P.J. Ellis – It’s a romantic thriller. I think it also addresses a couple of social issues in that Selena, you know, is in a common, unfortunately, a common place in a relationship that’s turned sour, where someone has become controlling and domineering. And that’s not exclusive to women, both physically and emotionally. And there’s also the child. She’s become involved in a porn ring and Selena is actively trying to get her, release her from that lifestyle. So there are a couple of social issues in addition to the entertainment value that I hope the reader comes away with.
Pam says, you have to have a plot but she does like to let her characters speak for themselves, letting each scene unfold naturally. There is a unique name for this kind of writer.
P.J. Ellis – Well, I am what you call a pantser in the writing world, which means that I write by the seat of my pants. So, you know, when I sit down, the curtains draw across the stage, and I’m ready to meet my characters. So writing is something I’ve always wanted to do. I guess I’ve always been writing in my head, but never had the time to put it on paper. So I’m retired now, and I have that time, and I’m really enjoying it.
It’s proving to be a good approach; it allows for authentic surprises, plot twists, and real emotion.
P.J. Ellis – Some of the reviews I’ve gotten say that it’s a roller coaster ride, you know, but I really enjoyed it.
Part of that is because every chapter had a tease at the end so the result is a thriller that’s both entertaining and socially relevant.
P.J. Ellis – Well, the ending to After You, My Dear is things are kind of left in a toss-up. The sequel continues on Selena’s journey with the detective Carl she met in the first book. They build a life together. But they are still battling Selena’s past
In the book Selena leaves the life she thought was secure. She was married to Victor LaRoche; wealthy, charming, seemingly perfect until his narcissistic, abusive stalker side emerged. And while this is a work of fiction it mirrors real life in a sense because the journey to freedom is never easy. Along the way, Selena does learn some important lessons: a woman can successfully leave an abusive relationship; people can recover from a broken past and start over; and some of the people closest to you can betray you.
P.J. Ellis – Selena has made a regrettable choice and the book is about her bid for independence, because this guy is not going to give up.
How far will Victor LaRoche go to reclaim what he thinks is his? And what about Mia. Can Selena save her? Just a couple of the many questions you’ll find answers to in After You, My Dear: I will always follow You by P.J. Ellis is an author that invites all of us to witness the power of starting over, the dangers of betrayal, and the strength it takes to reclaim your life.

From a boyhood in Carriacou to a globe-spanning career in medicine, Alfred Fitzgerald Brathwaite’s life is a story of resilience, culture, and family. Tune in, then read about it in his book The Also-Ran But a Champion: The Travels of a Kayak from Carriacou to Oahu.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Every time I visit a tropical location I swear that someday I’m going to live there. I realize that this typical of the vacation mindset and I dismiss it as fantasy but I do love a good ocean breeze in the morning and so today let’s live vicariously through someone who actually did it, Alfred Fitzgerald Brathwaite.
Alfred – Well, I thank you very much for having me.
Alfred’s life is full of enough stories to fill several books so he’s the perfect author for Newsgram — fascinating people living their lives in interesting ways.
Alfred’s story begins on the Caribbean island of Carriacou, a place where the culture of the islanders was passed down through generations, a heritage rooted in Africa and preserved despite the hardships of the plantations.
Life there was full of community, tradition, and small adventures that shaped him from boyhood and it’s that culture that he is now trying to preserve. Over time, that little boy from Carriacou would go on to travel the world — from Jamaica to New York, Hawaii, Canada, and South America — while following what would eventually become his true calling: medicine.
All of this is captured in his new autobiography, The Also-ran but a Champion: The Travels of a Kayak: from Carriacou to Oahu, which tells the story of a life filled with adventure, resilience, and family.
Alfred – The title of the book, I would say originated from my alma mater, my school song, but with inputs, so to speak, from my mother. My mother was the driving force behind whatever I did up to my age as a man, and she always hinted that I would not be a champion because I did foolish things at times, and she would say, oh, you will get 95, but you will never get 100, and I wanted to prove her wrong on that.
That title perfectly captures his life — sometimes overlooked, sometimes celebrated, always striving.
So how does a boy from a small Caribbean island become a doctor, a pathologist, and a lecturer who has seen the world? Alfred admits he didn’t know at first.
Alfred – Even without knowing how, but having a desire to accomplish something, must remain with someone, because when I said I was going to be a doctor, I had no idea how one was going to become a doctor. I knew nothing, except that maybe a doctor in Carioca, the only doctor, there was only one, might have impressed me, but I honestly do not know why I decided that I wanted to be a doctor. I don’t know if it’s because I wanted to help people, I don’t know if it’s because it was maybe a means of making money, I just wanted to be a doctor. For me to say to you, Well, it was this reason or that reason, I would be dishonest if I said anything like that, but once it was implanted in my brain, and with that determination, not only from myself, but what was instilled in me by that lady I called my mother, that propelled me along the way towards success in a sense.
That determination took him to Jamaica on a scholarship. And because he has a lust for life, he found time to raft the rivers, dance to reggae, and soak in the island culture.
Alfred – I received a scholarship to study medicine in Jamaica, but the funds from the scholarship were not sufficient for the entire course. The government of Grenada at that time provided the rest of the funds, but always with the understanding, not only by them, but by me, that it was a commitment to return to Grenada. Having finished my medical school, I made the decision that I should see as much of the world as possible towards my specialization in medicine, in a branch of medicine, before returning to Grenada. It was because of that that I went to Nassau to do my internship.
So it was off to Nassau to take in the colorful pageantry of Junkanoo; then New York where he became a fan of the Knicks; Hawaii and Ottawa where he got to experience the cold winds of Canada.
Alfred – And then I returned to Grenada
Ready to serve, story over. Oh come on. You know better than that. Life always has other plans.
Alfred – hings just did not work out over two or three years in Grenada. Fortunately, in a conference, someone came to me and said, Hey, are you a pathologist?I said, Yes. He said, My country needs a pathologist right now and that was Suriname. I didn’t know where Suriname was, so my first question to him was, Where is Suriname?
That chance encounter then took him to South America for three years, practicing forensic pathology and teaching medical students. Along the way, he even found time for football in Brazil, tango in Argentina, and sampling rums in Guyana. Later adventures took him to Dominica, the “Nature Island,” Trinidad for Carnival, and the yachting capital of the Antilles, the British Virgin Islands. Eventually, he and his family settled in Freeport, Bahamas, where they enjoy a simple life full of culture and love.
Alfred – Each one can but do his best. The winner’s display depends on the effort of all the rest. To be in the van is not all, for each has to play his role. The team wins the match at football, though one man must kick the goal, and that was a stanza in my school song, and it has stayed with me since then.
Teamwork, community, and doing your part. These lessons shaped Alfred’s life. He say’s being a champion isn’t about medals or fame; it’s about contributing, learning, and making a difference and those lessons are woven throughout his book.
Alfred – Well, the initial purpose was to preserve what I had experienced as a child from the age of knowledge, so to speak, to about 11 years. And the impression gained by me in later years that what I was exposed to as a child was being lost, and I did not wish for that to happen. So the book actually started with adventures, so to speak, but within a village of a small unknown island, and it involved not only the events that were taking place, which at the time didn’t make much of a difference to me, and the culture that was a part of the events, and of course the people that I was exposed to. And I felt within myself that somehow, if I can play a part in preserving these things, at least I would have felt pleased with myself.
All of Alfred’s remarkable stories are now preserved in The Also-ran but a Champion: The Travels of a Kayak: from Carriacou to Oahu. It’s a journey of culture, adventure, medicine, and resilience. From a barefoot boy in Carriacou to a world-traveling doctor, teacher, and storyteller, Alfred’s life shows how determination, curiosity, and the courage to take a leap can carry you farther than you ever imagined.
His story reminds us that anyone can achieve with focus and effort, that positive influences can shape our path, and that there is wisdom to be gained from the past. The book is available now on Amazon or wherever you buy books.
And that will do it for this edition of news gram from webtalkradio.com.

Today, the Crone and Sage take about another couple of moments where it can be beneficial to pause, take those three deep breaths (Body, Mind, and Spirit) and deal with life. First, they talk about recognizing when we connect with those moments of child-like wonder. The Sage connects the feeling to that of a Christmas morning when you sneak down to look at presents and discover the milk and cookies left out for Santa have been eaten and you just know he is real. It’s that feeling you can find in all aspects of the natural world for us on The Path. They also talk about lessening the frustration we all feel when we feel physically trapped or cornered by circumstances beyond our control (think traffic jam or stuck in line at the grocery store here) and cultivating a little (okay sometimes a lot) of patience to deal with it.
In this episode, Walking Away to Wake Up: Matt Grasela on Authenticity, we sit down with Matt Grasela—executive leader, former global vice president, and host of The Strategy Seat podcast. With a track record of scaling service operations and leading enterprise transformation, Matt brings sharp insight and grounded wisdom to this conversation about walking away from success to step into alignment.
After 13 years building a profitable business and leading high-performing teams, Matt realized he was out of sync with his inner truth. What followed was a courageous decision to walk away—not out of defeat, but from a deep, soul-led knowing. He shares what it means to live authentically in a world addicted to achievement, and why most adults operate from fear: fear of loss, change, or being misunderstood.
We also discuss:
✨ The difference between quitting and conscious alignment
✨ How fear keeps people from bold, necessary moves
✨ Why saying “I’m not working right now” triggers others—and what that reveals
✨ His natural detachment (which I call deep self-trust) as a source of power
✨ The permission many seek—and how a mentor can shift everything
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/Mr1Wq7Do9S0Matt’s story is an invitation to stop waiting for approval and start living in radical truth. You’ll walk away inspired, reflective, and maybe even ready to make a move you’ve been resisting.

As we age,
We look into the mirror and agree upon
“We lovable creatures in the nudes”
Golden and silverfish too
… and leaping Paper Frogs
All seem to be with heavy years
Our nostalgia increases with time

Are shadows of youths
All must come to an end
Except for my Paper Frog
For has no heart
He knows no defense
He is never offended
For he never knew a friend

On this very special episode of Kitchen Chat: A Taste of Luxury, History and Hospitality, host Margaret McSweeney takes us on a sweet, very personal journey home. Broadcasting from the vibrant culinary heart of her beloved hometown, Birmingham, Alabama, Margaret has a Kitchen Chat with Leigh Sloss-Corra, the dynamic Executive Director of The Market at Pepper Place. Margaret and Leigh are both members of Les Dames d’Escoffier and first met during the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) conference in Birmingham. Margaret serves on the board for IACP.
Here’s a look at our video chat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRu0crzdqykThe Market at Pepper Place is celebrating its 25th anniversary and is a thriving farmer’s market place which serves as the city’s epicurean epicenter. The Market at Pepper Place is a brilliant example of striking the perfect balance between urban renewal and a testament to the power of local Southern food roots and artisans Birmingham is world renowned for. Leigh’s sister, Cathy Sloss Jones was an integral part of launching this farmers’ market along with Chef Frank Stitt and Chef Franklin Biggs who realized that something needed to be done to ensure the ongoing viability of Alabama farmers and locally sourced food. Each weekend, guests can enjoy a cooking demo. Margaret was quite impressed with the international flavors at this market. A native of Nepal, Prarthana Pandey, owner of Dalle Momo cooked dumplings and flavorful dipping sauces to sample.
Margaret and her childhood friend, Melanie sipped refreshing Thai Tea and Butterfly Pea Tea from Tay’s Tea.
In a conversation that beautifully encapsulates the show’s pillars, Margaret and Leigh explore the rich History of the Pepper Place district, its transformation from an industrial hub to a culinary focused cultural landmark.

The Crone & Sage are entering the Season of Loafmas officially after completing our three ritual cycle where we will be focusing on improving our relationship with the Element of Air. Because we associate this Element with Knowledge and New Perspectives, this is the time of year where we focus on looking at how our personal spiritual beliefs have grown and changed over the last year, not only to recognize the work we have been doing but to determine if what we are currently practicing continues to match these beliefs. It is another Full Moon this weekend and we call the August Moon the Bread (or Grains) Moon. It is traditionally an agricultural time of separating the wheat from the chaff so what we are analyzing fits. The two of them discuss how the Lunar Energy of Full Moons lately has been affecting them more than usual. The Liturgy Reading, by the Crone, is our traditional circle cast that we use when working magick as part of a ritual. Talking about what we have been doing to start connecting with the Element of Air has been our everyday focus. Finally, the Sage concludes with another excellent Witchstone Reading.
Episode 5 of A Writer Hits the Road features the host’s twelve-year-old nephew who has recently traveled to Jamaica, Belize, and Bahamas. He was also born in Taos, New Mexico and currently lives in Perry, Georgia, so he and his aunt enjoy comparing and contrasting all of these places. An effort to develop self-interests before traveling extensively and while traveling continues to be the prevailing theme of the series.
Originally published July 01, 2021. In this encore episode, Wally Carmichael joins Dr. Allen Lycka to uncover how recognizing your own worth can help you move past life’s obstacles and embrace lasting peace and abundance.
Wally Carmichael is a retired Army Medic, founder of Abundance & Prosperity Business Mastery LLC, and host of the Men of Abundance and Business Owner Growth podcasts.

He’s lived in Panama, Germany, and several U.S. states, and now calls Tampa, Florida home. Passionate about helping business owners dominate their markets, Wally also uses his podcast to share inspiring conversations with leaders and entrepreneurs living lives of abundance and giving back to their communities.

Dr. Charles Antonori and Dr. Leon Kushner discussed the historical evolution of surgical training programs and medical education, including the impact of the Flexner Report and changes in residency structures over the decades. They explored advancements in surgical techniques, particularly robotic surgery, and discussed how these innovations have transformed training approaches and increased surgical complexity.

Inaccurate and negatively-biased information about ADHD bombards us from all sides, in public and professional media alike. Sad to say, most of it is just plain wrong. One recent review of information posted on TikTok concluded that only 40% of it is accurate, 60% is not. Selected stories about negative effects of medications, presenting statistics in a way that magnifies negatives, repeating outdated beliefs which have no basis in fact, examples are too numerous to count.
How can you find reliable accurate information? There is now an easy-to-find source, the ADHD Evidence Project – adhdevidence.org – founded by Dr. Stephen Faraone, one of the foremost researchers in the field of ADHD over the past 30 years. Join Dr. Faraone and I as we dive into the backstory of the Project and discuss how it makes accurate and reliable information about ADHD available to you. Listen and learn!
Check out our video chat!
https://youtu.be/Wpmm-oekDIwFind out more here about Dr. Faraone!
After earning his Masters and PhD degrees Dr Faraone began a career in psychiatric genetics in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard University in 1985. He rose steadily through the academic ranks, gaining promotion to full professor in 2002. in 2004 he moved to SUNY Upstate Medical University where he is now Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience.
The goal of the ADHD Evidence Project is to improve the lives of people with ADHD by selecting, organizing, distributing, and promoting well-researched and evidence-based conclusions about the disorder to patients, families, and clinicians.
The basis for it is The World Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement published in 2021 and authored by eighty (80) world-leading ADHD experts. The Statement is comprised of 208 statements about different aspects of ADHD, from how it affects people and society to diagnosis to treatments, all supported by well-researched evidence. It points out that most cases of ADHD are caused by the combined effects of many genetic and environmental risks, that there are small differences in brain structure and function between people with and without ADHD, that untreated ADHD can cause a multitude of adverse outcomes, and that neglecting to recognize it and treat it effectively costs society hundreds of billions of dollars each year worldwide.
Doc Holliday is on a crusade to educate Americans to what has been going on long before the focus of the news media started looking at Texas. What a show Doc has put together this week as he uses a clip from the Jesse Watters Show with guest, Ned Ryan, at Fox News. Why do Democratic Party officials like illegal immigration so much? Does Nancy Pelosi have wisdom for the nation? Does she really care about Texas? So many questions, but you will get answers to these questions and so much more on this week’s show. Click on now!
Carol and Mikey Morgan are with us today for the 27th time, which is a special honor for us. Theirs is a truly amazing story! Mikey Morgan is a Sixth-Level Being who last had lived on earth in the 1600s, so he was already a very advanced Being, and vibrating almost at the Godhead level. But he was alarmed at the way things were going on earth, and he wanted to help us spiritually, so he entered a brief lifetime that began 1987 and ended in 2007 so he could teach us in the voice of a modern American 20-year-old. Now Mikey answers our questions about the afterlife, the greater reality, and whatever else you would like to know from the sixth level of the afterlife, the level which is just below the Source, through his mother of his most recent earth-lifetime, Carol Morgan. Even though she insists to us that she never would have signed up for this! Roberta first met Carol a few years after she had lost her son, Mikey, in an auto accident. Carol knew nothing about the afterlife, but Roberta has tested Mikey’s knowledge very extensively, and she vouches for the fact that he is exactly who and what he claims to be. Roberta has spent more than fifty years researching the afterlife and the greater reality, and she tells us that Mikey knows a great deal more about all of it than she does! He answers all of her questions correctly, and then he often adds extra information which she can be pretty sure is also accurate. In many hundreds of answers, Roberta has never seen Mikey make a mistake. If you have questions about death, the afterlife, and the greater reality that you would like to hear Mikey answer, you can send them to Roberta at info@robertagrimes.com, and he will answer them on a future Seek Reality program.

The book is the first in a trilogy that records the first hundred years of hotel-keeping in Fremantle from 1829 to 1929, which also means it is the first hundred years of hotel-keeping in Western Australia. However, it is not just the story of Fremantle’s hotels. The book also chronicles Fremantle’s history during that period of time.
There is no town in Western Australia that has a richer history and heritage than Fremantle. The town was established in 1829 when the first colonists first landed. At that time, the town was known as Swan River Colony.
The history of Fremantle cannot be told in isolation so any story about Fremantle is also a story about Western Australia.
If storekeeping was the first occupation in the new colony, then hotel keeping was the next. Within six months of the colony being founded Fremantle had four hotels.
The book traces the history of those early Fremantle hotels and how they, and the hotels that followed, shaped the culture and appearance of Fremantle today. To know the history of those hotels is to know the history of Fremantle.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
You probably don’t know this about me, but I’ve always been a bit of an introvert—and, if I’m being honest, a bit of a people pleaser. I’m not saying I’ve always been good at it, but I do have a hard time saying no. So when today’s topic landed on my desk, it struck a chord.
Today, we meet Monique Worgess. She may not be a household name—yet—but her journey fits into a long tradition of quiet voices who’ve stepped into the light. Think Maya Angelou, Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga… all people who learned to value the thing they once tried to hide. Another well-known introvert? Susan Cain, author of Quiet.
Monique Worgess – I read the book Quiet by Susan Cain. And she has a TED talk also where she talks about shyness and being an introvert and the difference. And that really resonated with me. Because I guess how it’s perceived, for the most part, it’s like everyone should be an extrovert. And then introverts they’re not as confident, they don’t really get the promotions or whatever that may be. But that’s definitely not true. Because I feel like all the information and things I know now, I feel like they’re probably half and half when it comes to extroverts versus introverts. And there’s a lot of very key people who are introverted, but you would never necessarily know that. Because they’re able to have that persona that they need when they need to deliver something and things like that. So I feel a lot more confident in my approach these days. And not being, I need to conform to what others are saying, just because I have a different opinion, which I refer to in the book as well.
Cain’s TED Talk, The Power of Introverts, has been viewed over 30 million times, and her book started a global conversation about the strength of being introverted. Monique, like Cain, didn’t just find her voice—she’s using it to validate others like her in her own book, It’s Okay to Feel Like This: Suppressed Thoughts of an Introvert.
Monique Worgess – I just finally been feeling finally feeling comfortable, I guess, being the introvert that I am. And yes, I just wanted to share that with others.
When she says “feeling comfortable,” she’s talking about those moments when we stay silent even when we have something to say—moments that can shape a career.
Monique Worgess – So, for example, one of the key things in the book that I’ve said is, so let’s say I’m in a meeting, there’s about 20 people in the room and there’s something that’s being discussed and then everyone will be in agreement. But then I will have a different view. But then because of how shy I was at the time, and then I’m thinking, well, if everyone’s in agreement, then that must be the correct way of thinking. So then there’s no point me saying what I have to say. And I remember I had a manager one time and I guess he realized how I was kind of coming across in those meetings. And he came over to me and he said, Monique, is everything OK? And I was like, yeah, everything’s fine. And he was like, what’s your thoughts on what we discussed today? And I said to him and then he said, oh, I think that’s the idea that we’ll go with. And then that shocked me because, again, I was thinking, you know, I have a low self-esteem as well. So you’re like, well, if everyone’s thinking that way, that must be the correct way of thinking. But then again, I guess that the way he managed helped me to, I guess, come out of my shell a bit more and to speak up more, even when it is different, as opposed to going at the crowd.
Kudos to that manager—leaders who notice and make space for quieter voices are rare. But Monique’s journey isn’t just about meetings. It’s also about identity, self-esteem, and the things we hide.
Monique Worgess – So I’m someone, I have always been a person at school who had a different hairstyle every day. And I think there was one moment, I guess, if you could ever turn back the hands of time. So I remember my sister wanted to dye my hair one time and I always said no, no, no. And then I finally gave in. And it felt like from that moment, that was the beginning of the end. So I think I was around 18 and I actually started to lose my hair. And it got to a point where it couldn’t, it wasn’t contained anymore, so the only option was to cut it. And that made me feel so, because you know when you feel like you’ve lost my identity in a way, because being that person had different hairstyles and just couldn’t do that anymore. And also being female as well and having no hair as well. So I actually hid in the house for about three or so years at the time. I just didn’t like the look, I didn’t want to be mistaken for a man or anything like that. But whereas now I love my hair, it always took time to kind of grow into it.
If you google her, you’ll see Monique keeps her hair extremely short—and she wears it beautifully. But that confidence came later.
Monique Worgess – So I would say this book is for people who find it hard to express themselves. I guess, in a nutshell, you can say self-sabotage. But in the world we live in today, I feel like people are moving more and more away from speaking. And I guess that community aspect and things like that. And I guess things can only get better when you kind of talk about them. And so I actually realized that in my ways that not talking or being reserved doesn’t necessarily help. And that can potentially even create barriers when it comes to creating new relationships and things like that as well. So I guess I would just say it’s for anyone who has had a similar path in life, but then is actively open to wanting to make a change for the better.
Introversion may be something you’re born with, but life experiences shape how it shows up. For Monique, one of the most defining experiences was what she calls the Dark Figure.
Monique Worgess – I grew up in Jamaica. I currently live in London at the moment. And so I left Jamaica when I was 11 years old to come to the UK because my family was moving. I wanted to move here. And so life was great in Jamaica, so to speak. But then when we came here. We started to live with what’s known as a dark figure in the book. It felt like five years of living in hell, so we left around when I was 16 years old and I wanted to write the book then. But honestly, if I had written the book, then it would have been a lot more bitter than it is today. But so fast forward many decades on and then I had a career break. And that was a time when I finally had the chance to sit back and just write the book that I always wanted to write, into words that potentially help others who are potentially feeling the same way.
Abuse breeds self-doubt. Monique’s advice? Stop being a mind reader—because most of the time, what you think others are thinking about you isn’t true.
Monique Worgess – I was also an over-thinker as well. So it’s almost like you’re making up things in my head about what I think other people are saying or thinking about me. That’s not actually true. So now I’ve created a whole situation of something that wasn’t true to begin with. And then that’s the fact that’s in my head when, again, none of this is true. And then that just, again, that affects everything. It will just affect everything around you because it’s not true. And then it’s just more barriers have been put in place. And it’s just a never-ending cycle.
Writing this book took time, time she only found because of a career break.
Monique Worgess – So I think having the career break, that was probably the first time I’ve ever been able to slow down because being constantly on the go. Always busy, always doing something. But then just having that 14 months to just think, OK, what do I want to do with my life? Up to now, things haven’t quite worked out as I’d like them to be. So going back to some of those stories, some of the pain and even talking to family members as well, because, you know, even though we all go through what you would say, we’re in the same situation, we experience things very differently. And you even remember things very differently as well. And then just really seeing where the problem was and what lied with me and just actively putting processes in place and just gaining knowledge to see how I can improve the way I think about myself and how I want to show up in the world moving forward.
She says that while we as introverts share similar traits it’s important to remember that your journey is your own. There is no right or wrong way to transform or become the person you are trying to be. You need to ensure that you do it at your own pace and when you are ready. Her story is one that I think you’ll find interesting but it’s not a blueprint. It is a reminder that the past doesn’t get to be the author of our future, it’s just one chapter. The real power lies in deciding which parts we carry forward, and which we leave behind. And one of the bravest things we can do is give ourselves permission to step out of the shadows. The book, It’s OK to Feel Like This: Suppressed Thoughts of an Introvert, is available online wherever you buy books. And that will do it for this edition of newsgram from Webtalkradio.com

We have been offering short prayers, meditations, whatever you want to call them to work our way through various Occasions in our lives. Some of them may happen daily, others rarely, or not at all. First, we share a prayer for When Recognizing that Magick Works and that we had something to do with what happened. Then we move on to a topic that we hope no one has to deal with: The Shock of Someone Passing Unexpectedly. This is a difficult topic to discuss because our society does not have adequate words to deal with the death of someone we care about. However, this prayer is available if it is unfortunately needed as we begin to cope with the news.

They talk about various forms of addictions and how it can manifest for teens such as love addiction, validation addiction, and pornography addiction. Kevin explains the effects of pornography and early exposure to pornography on developing youth.
Most importantly, together Bryce and Kevin approach the topic with compassion and understanding and guide parents on how to start having conversations around these topics with their children. They provide a template for asking probing questions to teens that can get a response and avoid putting teens on the defensive or shutting down.

Love is peace without thoughts
Is a colorful flower …
Love, by no doubt is a rose without thorns
It is later a thorn comes out
But, because there’s love
It doesn’t cut …
It cuts, when love goes
Don’t you ever let it go
Don’t you ever, let go!
You always got to nurture love
Open those curtains
Let the sun in …
Dim those lights
Go get the water
Close those doors
Water love, often
Speak of the nicest of words
Kiss your honey endless and dearly of times …
Know, more
Love is what?
Is a blue light
Is a view all in youth …
Love is a hidden star …
Is a moon, yet to be discovered
Is a planet, you thought you didn’t know
Is a planet, you think you don’t know!
However, you got to be taken it further
To get to know love
What is really love?
Is a honeymoon onto his deep skin
Is the hunger of man to love eternally
The love of a flower …
Is a rest, upon your man’s chest
Is a first love of a Springtime dream
Is a gift from the above onto his arms
The love of a flower …
Is to witness the birth of your son
Is to awake for the first time
Is to swim for love, once again with him
The love of a flower …
Is to really learn to love
… and see life, for what it is
Is to be able to write a poem
To the sky and smile …
Is to look at you love
… and state “Indeed, you’re all my youth”
Now, I add not only have you
… found my youth again
47th years later, I can say further say…
“You’re the moon and the galaxy I’ve discovered
This is all, you!”
I love you, endless
You got to know
I always will …
You my stars …
My light, the waters that brings life
… and the sun that gives light
… to continue life all over again
Minerva A. Garcia, your Min and Your Poet
On this episode of Authors Corner, Kate Delaney talks with Dr. John Ayoola Akinyemi about his deeply personal book Meet My Mother. Dedicated to the memory of his late mother, the book is a moving tribute to the timeless lessons she shared — the power of words, the strength of prayer, and the healing nature of forgiveness. Dr. Akinyemi reflects on growing up in Nigeria, the love and calm his mother showed through life’s storms, and what it truly means to be a “quintessential mother.” Through heartfelt stories and a deep sense of gratitude, he reminds us just how powerful a mother’s influence can be — and why that love deserves to be honored across all cultures and generations.
Check out our video chat here:
https://youtu.be/2jFnH_lkoHcDr. Akinyemi, born in Abeokuta, Nigeria, is a lifelong educator, public servant, and storyteller. After moving to the U.S. in 1963, he earned multiple advanced degrees — including a PhD and a Master of Public Health — and served 27 years in the U.S. federal government. In his latest book, Beyond 80, he reflects on a life shaped by faith, family, and opportunity, honoring both his Nigerian roots and the American dream.

Dr. Lycka sits down with veteran educator and Principal of County Central High School, Philip Knafla, to explore the power of relationships, resilience, and relevance in education.

There is no loss quite so heartbreaking as the loss of a child. And our guest today, Kim Hodous, has lost two children! But she didn’t just survive these unthinkable tragedies, but She transformed them, and she let them in turn transform her own life. Kim is the author of a brand-new book called, Beyond Grief: How a Son’s Afterlife Connection Transformed a Mother’s Loss into a Remarkable Spiritual Journey. There, she shares the beautiful continuation of her relationship with her son, Rob, beyond the veil. Her work dismantles our culture’s limited understanding of grief, and reveals it to be, not an ending, but instead a sacred initiation into deeper spiritual truths. Through her ongoing communications with Rob, Kim has become a translator of his profound messages about love, purpose, and the eternal nature of our souls. Her teachings on reincarnation, spiritual evolution, and the permeable boundary between life and death offer revolutionary comfort to those who are walking the path of loss. Kim’s approach is refreshingly honest. She doesn’t minimize grief, or offer hollow platitudes. Instead, she illuminates how authentic connection with our departed loved ones can coexist with deep healing, spiritual awakening, and even profound joy. Her message is clear: death is not separation, but rather it is transformation, and love is the eternal thread that binds us across all dimensions of existence. Kim’s website is www.Kimhodous.com.

In Episode 4, the focus moves from food and beverage to nature/adventure and relaxation as additional reasons people travel with a glimpse into the life of Air BnB tree house owner Kara O’Brien. Kara and host Clare describe the Atlanta Alpaca Bamboo Forest, which Kara owns and the author and her husband stayed in last summer. Just off the streets of the big city, it feels worlds away. They elaborate on Kara’s other getaway, nature-inspired properties and continue the theme of developing a sense of self in your own backyard before venturing out on your next big trip.
In this episode, From Trauma to Triumph with Lauri Burns, we sit down with Lauri, founder of The Teen Project and a living example of turning pain into purpose. Once homeless and trapped in the foster care system herself, Lauri now dedicates her life to empowering young women aging out of that very same system—offering them the support, education, and structure they need to thrive.
Lauri shares her remarkable journey—from surviving childhood trauma, addiction, and abuse to building an award-winning nonprofit that’s transformed thousands of lives. Her story is raw, powerful, and ultimately redemptive.
We also discuss:
✨ How one pivotal moment sparked her path to healing
✨ Why structure and purpose are essential to rebuilding self-worth
✨ The hidden challenges foster youth face after 18—and how The Teen Project bridges that gap
✨ What it truly means to be seen, heard, and believed
✨ How she turned trauma into a mission of radical transformation
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/qNOaT0EwBv4Lauri’s work reminds us that no one is beyond hope, and sometimes the ones who fall the hardest rise the highest. This is an unforgettable conversation about purpose, compassion, and creating safe spaces for others to heal and rise.

Join me on a unique mindfulness hike—no boots required, just bring your attention, gratitude, imagination, and compassion. In this episode, I take you along on a guided tour of Phil Hardberger Park’s remarkable Tomber Landbridge, where nature and mindfulness meet in the most unexpected ways.
My son and I signed up for this tour led by David Jimenez, Education Coordinator for the City of San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department. We’d met David before through his inspiring “Art in the Park” workshops, but this time, his role as a guide revealed something deeper: a profound mindfulness woven into every story he shared.
As David spoke, I immediately thought of you—my listeners. I knew I had to share this experience. By the end of the tour, I felt like I had discovered an entirely new park. What changed? My perspective.
Trees became more than textured sculptures—they revealed themselves as vibrant homes.
What once looked like wild weeds transformed into lush carpets for deer and foxes.
And the Landbridge? It’s not just a safe crossing for people—it’s a lifeline for wildlife, connecting habitats and preserving balance.
This hike reminded me that when we learn about our environment, we begin to see ourselves not as separate from nature, but as part of its intricate design. We may be just a speck on this Earth, but this planet is thoughtfully crafted to accommodate us all.
Tune in and walk with me—mindfully.

The Author
Bruce Martin is a British author who has lived in the realm of make believe for a very long time, that is not to say he’s an astute person with a business mind and a clear vision with regards to his future, a future in words. Like most of us his life has been a rollercoaster ride and upon reflection had he been diagnosed earlier on in his childhood with OCD/ADHD things might have turned out differently. How Bruce, saw the world then and to a certain degree now and how the world saw him particularly his parents could best be described as two very stark pictures, where the pictures in black and white or white and black. Bruce is now in his fifties, a single parent to his three-year-old daughter and having almost reconciled his disorderly youth days to the past he now focuses and relishes on his creativity way of thinking, something that has always been at the core of who he is as a person. It’s this creativity in particular his penchant for everything mystical, fantasy and possibly make believe that this debut book of his came about, so let’s turn our attention to the book, a book as the title alludes to somewhere between realm and reality.

Twenty-one chapters of exhilarating gothic fantasy awaits you here, and for young adults to whom this book is mainly written for, well! you’re in for a surprise as the author takes you on his lopsided version of Alice in Wonderland. This dark tale of magic and deceit told by an eclectic bunch of remote from reality creatures and the authors own conceptualization of how he perceives the Mad Hatter, Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts will at times make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. A chilling tale indeed, beautifully written and masterly composed.
Alison Wilde is plucked and plunged into the Netherworld; her earthly world has diminished to a mere fleeting memory and her new dark world filled with werewolves and other horrifying mystical creatures is less than comforting. Her so-called new friends endeavour to steer her through this dark murky world where dark evil forces are at play to destroy the very fabric of the universe. Alison has a destiny which is thwarted at every stage by the evil that lurks in the mystical universe she finds herself in. What is her destiny? Who are the dark forces at play? Why do they want to destroy the universe? Will Alison overcome those that seek to destroy her and achieve her desired result?
Want to know the answers to the questions above? Well, you’ll have to read the book.

Thank you, Bruce, for giving me the wonderful opportunity to interview you about your book “Dream Walker.” I wish you every success with it and look forward to working with you again soon.
Do you ever catch yourself thinking “Why am I always prioritising myself last?” I bet you have had this thought a few times. There’s vast power in the choices we make. We all experience pain, but it’s how we choose to deal with it that makes the real impact in our lives and on those around us. If you continually avoid that deep-seated pain, it will eventually emerge when you least expect it.
In It’s Ok to Feel Like This, author Monique Worgess explores some simple ideas about how you can start to prioritize yourself again. Developing the right mindset is key, so focusing on yourself must become the priority in your day-to-day living.
Through her personal story, Worgess shares the importance of taking a moment to be still with oneself, stop avoiding the pain from your past, and reap the benefits of a true journey of self-discovery.Get your copy of It’s OK to Feel LIke This…! Suppressed Thoughts of an Introvert on Amazon.

The Author
Olive Clarke is a British author who has led an interesting life right from her childhood days. She taught herself to read from a very early age and her passion for both reading and writing has supported her right up to this very day. Olive would often scramble up her favourite tree and even hide under the bed covers or anywhere she could find solitude to let her imagination run riot with stories and characters. Often her vivid creativity would scare her, leaving her thinking where on earth did that story emerge from? Olive is now eighty-one, bed bound having suffered a stroke some years ago, but as she puts it, “my body is wrecked, but my mind is as sharp as a needle and I still take great pleasure in delighting others with my books, thus while I have the ability to write, I will continue to do so until I can’t; but that will be a sad day for me if that was to happen. So, I continue to write, for it does keep me out of mischief.”

https://youtu.be/46o_SC6FSJ4The Book
Wildcats and spirituality set in a topography that mirrors the well-known Peak District National Park in the United Kingdom is at the core of this exhilarating novel which is intelligently constructed and beautifully written. Kahmet a wildcat is the implausible hero dominating the scenes here. The Immeasurable standards required from him to maintain his position are high, he has many attributes to his name, but he is a flawed character which leaves him exposed to unguarded challenges.
A marauding tribe of nearby wildcats inflicts brutal chaos on the scene, the battles are ferocious and dramatic, leaving untold damaged pathways in their wake and cats from all sides left licking their wounds. Will good conquer evil as the drama unfolds?
Seeing the world though the eyes of wildcats in all the developing flash situations is unique, yet we are allowed to see the warmth and sweetness that exists between the individual cats as they each have their moment on the centre stage.
As the story draws to its closing moments you will see, imperfections rectified, inequalities put right, and shortcomings settled. But what of the protection of the Ultimate Authority; I’ll leave that for you to fathom that out for yourselves.
This is an exceptional book, both in terms of the narrative and writing style and when you have read all sixty-seven chapters I think you’ll agree with me.
The story has been assembled into eight very distinctive parts and just to give you an idea as to how this has been done, I have listed the parts of the book below which should give you a flavour as to what you can expect.
Did I enjoy this distinctive book? Yes, very much. Do I recommend you read it? Oh Yes!!!
My favourite Wildcat was Hedgerow. But the position of Moon Cat intrigued me, and the edge around spirituality was subtle and tasteful.

The Author
Monique Worgess is a young British author from London in the UK; she was born in Jamaica and lived there until she was eleven when she moved to the UK with her family. Monique spent ten years in retail a career she cherished and loved, her colleagues often saw her as a workaholic, promotions ensued but at a personal cost. In 2022 Monique took a career break, to reflect on what had occurred in the past and revalue what really matters to her. This so-called revaluation has created a new persona, her passion for a healthier mindset with strategic disciplines in place is at the essence of who the new Monique is today. This mini break gave her the opportunity to sit down and compose this book, a book about sharing her experiences so that others can reflect on their own lives and identify what they need to do to adjust for a better life.
So, let’s take a snapshot view of the book.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/SJEHUskb_QYThe Book
This is a small book of five stimulating chapters that touch upon the delicate issues surrounding low esteem, introversive behaviours, coercive control circumstances and interrelationship awareness with others both personally and professionally. The subject matters raised in the book are told through the eyes of the author herself whose own experiences have led to this book. In a way this is Monique talking about the dilemmas she faced, how she dealt with them and how she transgressed over the years to become the version of herself, that she is today.
When you look at the book it’s compiled of the following:
Preface
Introduction
Chapter 1 Introvert
Chapter 2 Am I Free
Chapter 3 Did it Start Here
Chapter 4 Is low Self Esteem an Excuse
Chapter 5 Emerging and Healing
Appendix: Healing Process Starter Checklist
About the Author
For me a pivotal section of the book is the Introduction, for two reasons. 1) Monique starts to open up with lively debate around the various topics she’s raising and 2) she gives you an insight as to what the forth coming chapters hold, reveal so to speak, hence the reason for highlighting it in the interview.

Thank you, Monique, for giving me the wonderful opportunity to interview you about your book “It’s OK to Feel Like This…!” I wish you every success with it and look forward to working with you again soon.
From plumber to globe-trotting adventurer, one man’s journey takes him from Australia to Madagascar and the Solomon Islands, where life-or-death moments, miracles, and the mysteries of the spirit world unfold. He evacuates a hospital under siege, survives two plane emergencies, feeds 12,000 after a cyclone, and even spends two nights among cannibals. But what he discovers on his final night at the hospital will leave you stunned.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Have you ever had the feeling that you weren’t alone—even when you were?
I’m not talking about paranoia or shadows in the dark. I mean that quiet, undeniable sense that someone—or something—is watching over you. Maybe it’s God, a guardian angel, or the spirit of a loved one who’s passed on. Whatever name you give it, you know deep down: this moment is more than coincidence.
Let’s set the scene.
You’re alone, driving through the countryside of central New South Wales. The road stretches ahead as you make your way toward Junee. Everything seems ordinary—until it isn’t.
Ira Dawson – The car stops. To this day, I know I did not stop that car. And it really shook me to say, well, someone’s looking after me.
That’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in Ira Dawson’s memoir, This Boy Will Never Make Old Bones. I love spotlighting authors that have unique stories to tell and I don’t think we’ve ever met one that lived a true action adventure like Ira Dawson. Here is how the book begins.
Quote read by actor: “…About six kilometres out of the town, a pea-soup fog blanketed the
road. It was impossible to see any farther than one white line ahead
in the centre of the road, and that was only possible with my head
out the window. The road was familiar, as this was not my first time
to travel it. As I drove slowly along, it soon became apparent that Ishould have reached the town by now, but there was not a light in
sight.
For a reason that can’t be explained, I stopped the vehicle with
the idea of seeing where the road went to from here. Then out of the
fog came a bright light, and all was clear. The car had stopped just
four metres from a level crossing, and it was a goods train that was
rushing by with its whistle blowing. No doubt the driver was
thinking, That idiot! Why did he stop so close to the tracks?
The real reason was “that idiot” was well and truly lost, not even
on the right road, a road he had never travelled before. As the train
sped by, a cold sweat came over me, and my hair felt as if it were
standing up on end. What had made me stop-what was it? There was
no real reason to stop there. Feeling that someone had really looked
after me, I realized that, but for the grace of God, I would have been
killed, and perhaps He had a plan for my life. My heart was filled with
thankfulness to Him.
Shortly after this experience, my wife, Myra, and I took a nine month
around-the-world trip, which also contributed to changing
our life’s direction….”
That trip turned into a life-changing journey, full of moments you have to read to believe. Their experiences included being saved from death in Madagascar, evacuating a hospital on Solomon Island when it was held hostage by 250 armed warriors to visiting a remote location inhabited by Cannibals. Why? Well, because they invited him.
Ira Dawson – They said, would you come and visit us up in our region? Well, everyone, the local people went bonkers. You’re not going up there. They’re cannibals. I’ll kill you and eat you. And I said, yeah, but they’re hungry.
So he went because he felt like he was being called to serve and maybe he was right because he received safe passage, through cannibal territory, funded by the Australian government and on the way there he got bit on the ear by something and thanks to his resourceful guide his life was saved.
Ira Dawson – So at any rate, he digs it out. Slashes it in two. Says here, put that on your ear. And rub your ear with the juice of that. Which I did. And as true as I sit here before you, within one minute, all my pain is gone. And I was stupid enough not to turn around and find out what it was.
The reviews for this book say it’s a book once you start you cannot put it down from the first page to the very last and I tend to agree. Ira’s life is one lived to the fullest his stories are full of intrigue as he traveled with his wife working on various islands and uncovering the mysteries found there.
Ira Dawson – So it all started when we got married in 1957. We were married 66 years before she died of dementia. But that’s behind us. What happened in the stories? It started off, we did this world trip. And for a young couple in those days, it was a big trip. And we went by bus from Calcutta to London. That’s a long way by bus.
Yes it is. It is roughly 7,000 miles depending on your exact path through countries like Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, and Europe.
Ira Dawson – And we were 70 days on the trip. And we looked at this, we looked at that, you know, as you went through the different countries. My wife said, you know, some of these places are so poor. We ought to do something to help them. I said, come on, we’re not United Nations.
But that little nudge led him down a trail of experiences that you need to read about. Like the one where the Devilman, chief of the Cannibals tried to kill him, but in the end he become a very dear friend.
Ira Dawson – So I go down. In the river, I meet the devil’s head, Silas Nicker. Who, if I would have had somewhere to go to look at him, he was frightening. He was a real devil man. And I thought, there’s nowhere I can run to. And when he spoke, no one else spoke other than me.
Making friends with the Devilman was just one story but Ira has a ton of them. There was the time he negotiated for food to feed 12,000 people in Malaita when a cyclone hit the Solomon Islands, two different airplane emergencies and the time he discovered a spice tree in Madagascar and harvested over twenty-one and half kilos of Cloves to help build a school there.
Ira Dawson – Cloves. One of the few countries that grow cloves. And they only yield every five years.
I think Ira Dawson has led a wonderful life because he did it in the service of others – and that is not always easy but as you can see, it’s very rewarding. He is now Eighty Nine years old. You can probably hear that in his voice but this is a man that was not expected to live past the age of ten.
Ira Dawson – When I was four and a half years old, I developed an illness. It was wartime and it was very difficult to get doctors. The doctor we did get was not very familiar with what I had and misdiagnosed it. And then finally she said, look, we don’t know exactly what it is that he’s got, but this is Dawson. Don’t spend much money on him because he won’t live beyond 10 years old. And my mother thought, no, I’m not going to give away that easy. And so she just loved me. And here I am now, 89.
The power of love is very strong.
Ira Dawson – My mother said I was never going to make old bones.
But she did her best—and now you see where the title came from — it’s a fast-moving, real-life adventure that will keep you turning pages. It’s packed with near-death experiences, miracles, and moments that make you stop and ask: How did he survive that?
I like to think his mother was—and still is—watching over him.
This Boy Will Never Make Old Bones is a powerful reminder that sometimes, against all odds, we do.

The fact is pretty universally known that for all of us, those that we love, who are older than we are, will likely go on ahead of us to the next stage of life. And for some of us, as it was for our great friend, Sandra Champlain, to have someone we love die is going to be the occasion for deciding that it is time for us to really research death, and to figure it all out! And so it was as well for for Elizabeth Entin, who is our guest today. Liz Entin began researching the afterlife evidence and everything paranormal in 2015, following the passing of her father. While she still considers herself to be sceptical, and even an atheist, (although she is a cultural Jew), the evidence that she discovered for the afterlife really blew her away. She is the author of two books in the WTF Just Happened series: The first is Book One – WTF Just Happened?!: A sciencey-skeptic explores grief, healing, and evidence of an afterlife And the second is Book Two – WTF Just Happened?!: A sciencey skeptic investigates even more evidence of an afterlife and fights for justice with her dead dog. She is the host of a podcast called, WTF Just Happened?!: All about the afterlife. No woo. She also runs “Science and Spirituality”, which is a private events group, an intimate group of just you and your friends, where you can learn more about the science behind an afterlife, and get readings from highly evidential mediums who have been tested by scientists. All the underlined words are links that will take you to her relevant websites.

I am standing very still
No noise here …
But, I began to cry
At the sounds of the microbes
I thought, I heard
Not wanted to die
I experienced the death of an E.coli
Melting fast, not wanting to die
I experienced the death of an E.coli
Shrinking, unpigmented, and so,
Its colors just went by …
Awake from your silly sleep old E.coli
Today, is not your day
Too much pain you caused
But, today I will bring you to life
Come from the dead
Awake from the deep sleep
Old E.coli-
This is an old experiment
Today, once again
I will bring you
To life …
This is indeed
An old experiment
Today, I shall bring you to life
I’ve a friend in her hospital bed
In Osceola, Florida

From an UTI
Sepsis kicked in
Eating lower part of the spine, the sacrum

Causing a disc herniation
A triangular bone
How to repair?
How to defuse a pain to go away?
When antibiotic Meropenem

A carbapenemase as is …
Unable to seal this bone
Corrective action?
Surgery as was revealed from MRI
Yea, surgery as was revealed from an MRI
Bone eaten due to an ESBL, an E.coli
Could 2nd infection kicked in
A nosocomial bug?
A polymicrobial superbug?
Am praying for a not

To outer most space
As a our dear God
Protects my BBF ..

In this episode, The Zest of Life: Chelsea Raineri on Imposter Syndrome, Calm Living & Redefining Success, we sit down with Chelsea Raineri, Style and Home Editor at Orange Coast magazine and host of its podcast The Zest. Chelsea shares her journey from making persuasive PowerPoint presentations as a child (yes, for a puppy!) to interviewing some of Orange County’s most notable personalities—like Kristin Hannah, Alli Webb, and Paul Frank—with poise and depth.
We explore how Orange Coast magazine took a chance on her potential, and how she’s since grown into her role with curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to ask the questions others might avoid. Chelsea speaks openly about imposter syndrome, how she navigates the “shoulds” of society—including the expectations around becoming a mother—and how she and her husband define happiness on their own terms.
We also discuss:
✨ Launching The Zest by Orange Coast magazine and crafting conversations that go deeper
✨ How being herself helped her thrive in a role she wasn’t “technically qualified” for
✨ The importance of calm, joy, and intentional living
✨ Releasing social pressure and staying curious about what the future might hold
✨ Building trust with guests to uncover meaningful stories

Our guest today is Debbie Dobbins, who is not at all your typical wealth mentor. Instead, She is a rebel with a cause, and her cause is helping conscious entrepreneurs to rewrite their stories about money, power, and purpose. After building successful businesses, making millions, and teaching abundance for decades, Debbie found herself face-to-face with a cancer diagnosis, and on food stamps. Wow! That experience didn’t break her, though. Instead, it energized her. Through feminine energy, intuition, and radical personal reinvention, she not only healed her body and rebuilt her wealth, but she reimagined what true success really means. Today, Debbie is the author of Your Inner Billionaire, which she markets as a potent blend of prosperity principles, spiritual truth, and no-nonsense real talk. Her promotional materials tell us that her work blends Universal Laws, quantum consciousness, and grounded strategies to help conscious entrepreneurs to claim their abundance. Not just at the bank, but also in their bodies, businesses, and belief systems. She calls herself “The Queen of Magic” for a reason, she says. Her mission is to help others to always remember that they, too, hold the magic wand! Debbie now leads global retreats. She teaches transformational courses, and she runs a high-impact mastermind called the Inner Billionaire Circle. She has helped thousands of women to reignite their wealth from the inside out, many of them in what she is calling their “second act” of life. Her teaching work is grounded in joy, in soul connection, and in the confident belief that abundance is not reserved for only the very few, but rather it is a universal birthright. Debbie’s website is www.thedebbiedobbins.com.

In this encore episode of The Elite Educator, we revisit one of our most compelling conversations with veteran English teacher Jennifer Turner—a force in the classroom and a fearless advocate for authentic learning. With over two decades of experience at Port Credit Secondary School, her own alma mater, Jennifer brings unapologetic passion, wit, and wisdom to the mic.
As Head of the Languages Department, Jennifer unpacks how she makes Shakespeare feel real, why she welcomes tough conversations in literature, and how she’s navigating the rise of AI in education without losing sight of critical thinking and creativity. Whether she’s directing classroom dramatics or mentoring seniors through their final year, Jennifer proves that teaching with heart is anything but old-fashioned.
Guest Bio: Jennifer Turner began her career in Brampton, Ontario, and for the past 20 years has taught at Port Credit Secondary School in Mississauga, where she leads the Languages Department. Passionate about Shakespeare (especially King Lear), she weaves drama into her teaching to help students connect deeply with texts. When she’s not in the classroom, you’ll find her at the cottage with her family—reading, walking, swimming, and soaking up nature.
Tune in and get re-inspired by this timeless episode.
Because great teaching never goes out of style.

The Author
Jane M McCabe is an American author (both adult and Children’s), painter, former teacher and associate editor, she was born in Billings, Montana where she attended various school levels before attending the University of Washington in Seattle where she obtained a BA in Art and a minor in English. From there she progressed to obtaining an MA in Fine Art Painting at San Francisco Art Institute in 1967. The following Three years Jane attended Luther Seminary in St Paul’s, Minnesota and I think I would be justified in saying this was the start of Jane’s earnest religious pilgrimage, a pilgrimage that she has been on right up to this very day. The path she chose to satisfy her unquenchable thirst for religious discernment is very much in evidence in this book of hers.
Apart from her theological findings Jane has diversified in to teaching, painting, writing, illustrating, editing and delivering one man shows all of which she has done at various stages of her illustrious life. Boredom does not exist in Jane’s world, life is for living, exploring and pursuing your dreams even if they don’t always turn out as you expect. Always be prepared to give it ago is her stance. Jane has criss-crossed America in her pursuit of a worthwhile lifestyle and careers. Would she do it all over again if age was on her side, who knows.
So, let’s turn our attention to the Children’s books she has written, edited and illustrated.

Written by Wayne F Maxwell Jr
Edited & Illustrated by Jane M McCabe
This book was written by Wayne F Maxwell; however, Jane edited the book and did the illustrations. It’s a story of a blue lamb called Heather, she’s a little confused as to her colour. She encounters Mary and Joseph on a donkey on their way to Bethlehem. Joseph gives her a drink and Mary rocks her to sleep. While asleep Heather dreams of an angel who tells her to follow the star to wherever it goes. The star takes Heather to a humble stable, inside she finds the Baby Jesus in a manger. When he touches her, she realises it’s okay to be blue. The illustrations that accompany this story are wonderful. A great Christmas story for kids.

1946 brings to life the amazing journey of Reg and Edwina — two people who came from very different worlds. Edwina was raised in New York’s high society, while Reg started out small-town but went on to change the game in navigation and wartime tech. This is a real, honest look at two extraordinary lives that history almost forgot told with love by their grand daughter Diana.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today, I’m bringing you a firsthand look at two extraordinary lives that history nearly forgot. Thanks to author Diana Gillmor, we now have their stories—stories that include dinners with royalty, friendships with world leaders, and innovations that changed how we navigate the sea and sky. One of them was a self-made visionary who helped revolutionize aviation and defense technology. The other? A high-society debutante from the Gilded Age with secrets of her own. Yes, Winston Churchill once stayed at their house—but until recently, even Diana didn’t know the full extent of her grandparents’ remarkable lives.
Diana Gillmor – It’s a great study in the lives of two people during that time period and how one of them is very rich and one of them is not very rich and how they got together and their, how their life went.
As Diana Gillmor puts it, her book, 1946: A True Story of Wealth, Extraordinary Success and Great Tragedy is a fascinating study in contrast—one wealthy, one not—joined by fate and ambition.
As I began writing this edition of Newsgram it occurred to me that together, we have explored a lot of books and some pretty unforgettable personal journeys. Many of them came from diaries and memoirs—personal treasures uncovered long after their authors were gone.
We have also discovered some truly fascinating people like Martin Kaiser who uncovered corruption in the FBI. Thanks to Barbara Birchim we were able to experience “Searching For The Truth” a fiction-based-on-fact account of the Vietnam conflict inspired by her relentless pursuit of justice for her husband. Fascinating people sharing their personal journeys. I encourage you to look through the Newsgram archives at Webtalkradio.com there are over 186 episodes to choose from. But, every now and then, a story comes along that reads less like a memoir and more like an untold chapter of world history and that is where we are today.
Diana Gilmore recently decided to look a little closer at her own family history, and that gives us the chance to visit 1946 and the story of Reg and Edwina. Reg was a young, poor boy from America, who was one of the youngest graduates of the Naval Academy. He meets Edwina, a wealthy socialite from Mrs. Astor’s Gilded Age circle and together, they build a life that intersects with royalty, espionage and some of the most significant innovations of the 20th century. Let’s begin with her grandmother
Diana Gillmor – I knew my grandmother was one of Mrs. Astor’s 400. So that wasn’t really a surprise. But what really surprised me was how famous my grandfather was. He was the president of Ferry Gyroscope for 40 years. And he was the third employee. And when he went to work for them, there were only three people in this little shop at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge.
And in the course of studying both of them, I realized that they lived in London. And they, because my grandfather was selling equipment that the British Air Force and the Navy needed, they became really, really good friends with some very high up people in the British government, which was quite startling that they knew all these people like Winston Churchill and the Mountbatten’s. And they went to a lot of social occasions with them. That was really surprising.
Just to clarify, Caroline Schermerhorn Astor’s list of 400 included the crème de la crème of New York society; Why 400? Many reasons but for one, that was the capacity of her grand ballroom on Fifth Avenue. While we are here and due in part to the popularity of HBO’s The Gilded Age let’s dive a little deeper into New York high society.
Diana Gillmor – Yes. People seem to be very interested in that now. Apparently, how my grandparents got involved was they had a lot of money and they had a lot of the proper behavior. Mrs. Astor thought that you could not be part of her social circle if you had ever done anything to embarrass your family. And so they adhered to those rules. My grandmother’s father died in 1910 and they lived in Toledo, Ohio. And my grandmother’s mother said, let’s get away from Toledo because it’s very unfortunate for us that he died here. I’m thinking of going to New York. And some friends of hers had written and said, there’s a new hotel opening where you can rent a suite and they can supply flowers and they can supply a chef and waiters and housecleaning and all that. And you can have like a New York pied-à-terre, but you don’t have anything but the expense of it. And that happened to be the Plaza Hotel, which opened in 1910 and they were one of the first people to take up an apartment.
Yea let’s unpack that one because you’re gonna want a Time Machine. The current cost of a two bedroom apartment at the plaza…about 2000 square feet will run you somewhere around six million bucks. You can probably score a studio for just under a million but the Plaza is some prime real estate. Being one of the first to move into the Plaza would have been a pretty sweet investment.
Diana Gillmor – And I remember spending a lot of time, because I’m from New York, in the Palm Court, which is one of my favorite places in the Plaza.
That is just one of the many visual memories in her book but we are just getting started. Let’s talk about Diana’s grandfather because he would eventually run the company responsible for teaching us which way is up – literally. At only 23, her grandfather left the Navy and joined what was then a tiny little shop in Brooklyn.
Diana Gillmor – One time my father took me when I was a little girl to the Sperry gyroscope plant that was in Lake Success on Long Island. I think I was about 10 and it was nighttime and he drove me up to this hill and we looked down on what looked like a city to me, all lit up. And he said the entire thing was the Sperry gyroscope plant.
It grew quite a bit. Perry would eventually have 200,000 employees all around the world.
Diana Gillmor – Mr. Sperry was 53 when he met him, and my grandfather was 23. So when Mr. Sperry died, he became his protege and expanded the company to 200,000 employees around the world, and he was the president for 40 years.
That growth was mainly due to the success of their Gyroscope technology. It is everywhere including aviation, ships and submarines, spacecraft in fact it’s even in your pocket — it tells that smartphone you’re holding when to rotate the screen.
Diana Gillmor – They made things that even now are very essential. I used to own a flying school. And I, when I was much younger and I flew and I knew that if you didn’t have those six instruments in this tiny little plane that I own, you wouldn’t be able to fly.
From New York’s Gilded Age to the halls of the Sperry Gyroscope factory, Diana Gillmor’s book is rich with uncovered facts and vivid details from one of the most fascinating eras in American history—featuring some of the period’s most influential figures.
Diana Gillmor – And he became a great friend of Winston Churchill because Winston Churchill was very interested in introducing planes into the armament of Britain, even though the rest of the parliament didn’t think that was necessary. In fact, Churchill came to stay at our house. That was way before I was born, but that was an interesting thing.
Check this out. See if you find the thing that made me go…wait what.
Diana Gillmor – They lived in New York for a while, and then they lived in London during the bombing. And that really added to the story greatly because you saw the history of when New York subways were being built, and the history of the war, and when they were spies.
That was it. She drops that little nugget on us and then follows up with another visual that puts right there on a ship headed overseas.
Diana Gillmor – When my grandmother and grandfather went to Sherbrooke to spy for the U.S. government, my grandmother, her passport, she’s all dolled up in a fancy hat and everything.
So many cool things. In a world where technology and privilege still shape power, 1946 reminds us that the roots of modern influence and their cost can run deeper than we often realize.
Diana Gillmor – But the story also has a lot of tragedies.
Yes, 1946 isn’t just a tale of invention, high society and diplomacy. It also uncovers some deep tragedy including suicide, the emotional cost of ambition, and the reminder that money does not always buy happiness.
Diana Gillmor – The life of a debutante in New York. I would like them to see the life of a poor man from Wisconsin who made a lot of money being the representative of Sperry Gyroscope and the president for 40 years. And then I would like them to see that tragedy befalls even rich people. And there’s a lot of tragedy that you would not expect.
This episode was a lot of fun to write because at its core this program is about interesting people living their lives and letting us catch a glimpse of it. Whether it’s through their own words or those of skilled writer, it’s all about story telling. A little voyeurism.
So as we wrap up, I think it’s important to say—this book isn’t just a success story. It’s not just a love story. And it’s not just a history lesson either. 1946 is a reminder that behind every headline or groundbreaking invention, there are real people like Reg and Edwina—living their lives, driven by ambition, love, loss, and yes… a little gyroscope magic.
In her book 1946: A True Story of Wealth, Extraordinary Success and Great Tragedy, Diana Gillmor shares a story so incredible, not even her own family fully understood it—until now.

Do you (if you have ADHD) find it is easier to “think out loud”, to process your thoughts by talking them over with someone? Or even just a rubber duck perhaps? If you know someone with ADHD, have you noticed that they tend to talk through their thoughts? There is good neuroscience and “ADHD science” to explain why it works so well, much of it rooted in Dr. Russell Barkley’s model of Executive Functions. Some of the toughest challenges for people with ADHD are solving problems which have many parts and are ambiguous. The goal of accommodations at work or school, to make it easier to try harder to think like a neurotypical person, are not ideal. What if that were turned upside down, and the accommodations enabled people with ADHD to use their brains in the way they function best?
My guest today is Jeff Copper, ADHD Coach Extraordinaire, known for his ability to dig deeper and find root causes of impairments so they can be resolved. He is a Professional ADHD Coach, certified by two ADHD Coaching organizations, consultant, speaker, and enthusiastically committed to being a valuable resource for persons with or affected by ADHD. Jeff has developed a model of how to accommodate the ADHD-thinking brain which respects and preserves its amazing quality of associative thinking: Cognitive Ergonomics.
This is cutting edge info, a new way of helping those of us with ADHD brains problem-solve in the ways our brains work best! Listen and Learn!

The Author
Helmut Portmann is an American author born in Switzerland but now residing in Covington a small community town in the state of Louisiana, USA where he lives with his wife Julie, son Alex, rescued husky Gabriel and adopted cat sisters Pearl and Amethyst. Helmut has done a variety of jobs over the years since graduating from college, his first job saw him logging oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico, but that was soon followed by working on the US Army’s Pershing Tactical Nuclear Missile System in Europe during the Cold War. Returning to the US he became an analyst hunting Soviet submarines, which led to him being put in charge of a program that protected US submarines being detected. Helmut has also worked in the US navy’s mine warfare laboratory to help lead their unmanned systems programs. He ultimately ended up as a director of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Data Buoy Centre, deploying buoys across the world’s great oceans to measure weather and climate changes, plus tsunami occurrences. A varied career you might say, but we mustn’t forget his drumming experiences. Now a days a more sedate lifestyle is pursued and at the heart of that changed manner of living is writing, so let’s turn our attention to this second book of his.
Helmut says you need to read the books in sequence to get the full effect of what the Alex Beck series is about.

Remora!
Book Three
This series keeps on giving and clearly Helmut is becoming more audacious and confident both in terms of the storyline and the characters. The narrative this time is told over, not forty, not fifty-six chapters as in the two preceding books, but seventy-six short, vigorous and explosive chapters. By the end of the book Alex, Catherine and Eva’s relationships become more defined both in terms of their working roles within the CIA and their personal alliances and entanglements.
But what’s the backdrop to this story?
Well, the US Navy is losing ships in unprovoked terrorist attacks in the Middle East, initially around Yemen. These attacks according to the CIA’s sources are believed to stem from the new terrorist group Hezbollah backed by Iran, with specialist Scuba divers trained in West Germany to attach limpet mines to the sides if ships. These attacks the CIA firmly believe have been carefully orchestrated to cause maximum disruption to the US’s operations within the Middle East. The US of course been seen by the Iranian authoritarian regime then and possibly still today as the ‘Great Satan.’
Alex Beck, reformed analyst, now CIA agent is tasked with operating a small team of highly specialised operatives to neutralise the situation and bring Hezbollah’s scuba diving activities to an abrupt end. Thus, restoring the smooth day to day running of US naval activities within the region.
Just like the previous two books the narrative told here is all-embracing, all-consuming and extremely compelling. Another great book from Helmut Portmann.
Enjoy! I did.

Book two
Wow you are in for another treat here with this second book of the series, fifty-eight blistering chapters, jam-packed with high-end drama and secrecy await your inspection, just like the first book. The U.S. Navy detect unrecognisable sonar activity bouncing off an esoteric object moving among the drilling platforms of America’s Oil and Gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico. The echoes suggest some kind of submersible running on batteries, what is it? who’s behind this operation? and more importantly what’s it doing there? Both the Navy and the CIA know that this area has a strong attraction to America’s foes and that any non-native activity needs to be investigated especially if the Navy’s highly classified SOSUS acoustic system is struggling to identify what is lurking below the waterline? Is Cuba with overseas support up to something here? Is there a possible sabotage attempt looming from the Cubans in response to the Bay of Pigs invasion attempt carried out by their arch-rival the USA.
Whatever is unfolding under the waters off the Gulf of Mexico, the CIA need to carry out secretive investigations as a matter of great urgency. Alex Beck heads up a team to hunt down this mysterious object that has the U.S. authorities flummoxed and referring to as the Phantom of the Gulf.
What a powerful read!

A Revenge Plot to Assassinate Fidel
Book One
Forty, well executed eye-catching chapters await your attention, if you consider Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton in your reading repertoire then Helmut’s book will appeal to you. The characters Alex, Ana, Angel, Ludo, Carlos, Raul and Jose blend well together as they combine the Cubans’ hatred for Fidel Castro (El Jefe) Cuba’s revolutionary leader from 1959 to 2008, with a strong desire to assassinate him, as well as overthrowing the brutal regime whose tactics to keep him in power involved, rape, murder and torture, something as young children all of them witnessed to some extent, before escaping to the U.S. Would they achieve what America failed to do? Revenge can be sweet, but it can also be all consuming and that consumption can come at a considerable price. A price would these exiled Cubans from childhood be prepared to pay, if so by what measures and how far would they go to plicate their retribution, or do their interests diminish over time? Plus, what role does a cold war nuclear missile system in Europe play? Hmm…
A breathtaking read. What’s the outcome? Well! read the book.

The Crone and Sage begin by talking about finishing up the Times of Beltane Activities because the Times of Loafmas will be starting shortly. We will say farewell to working most closely with the Element of Earth and reestablishing our practice foundations. It’s a Full Moon today and it’s the Heat Moon where we work and practice. We have been experiencing extremely high temperatures and humidity over the last couple of weeks which makes the name even more of a match than usual. Our Liturgy Reading features a Psalm of Joy and yes, we define Psalms as praise poems of some sort. The two of us are up to many daily practices as part of our Ritualization of the Everyday and it is amazing how many of them we have, often without even realizing what we are doing. Finally, our Sage finishes the episode with his usual Witchstones Reading about potential upcoming energies for us to be aware of.

There were, icicles in the windows
The sun melting some of it …
I saw the image of God …
Telling me to run fast like a marathon
I thus, had a dream of the icicle
No one sees in me
OMG, only He gave me the image that was me
Run, run, run fast
Don’t let them kill you
Run, run and run fast
Like your NYC marathon
Run from hate, never let in
… you got to go, go after love
I feel numb –
Because they make me feel dumb
I will not let them have none of this belief
I believe in me; I will not let them discredit me
It’s ok for their view …
Now, it doesn’t matter to me
I flew out fast …
Like a tiny, tiny, tiny kite than a huge one
Like a bird, with the will to love
… and live
Who must provide for the feed
Of its tiny family holding onto a tree
If you ever begin to question me
Will I stay, to take abuse?
There’s no use to explain
It never made any sense
Looking back …
Love is worth
-to defend
It was love that kept me there
For the work done …
It was a lot in my heart
Endless seeds there
It grew to gazillions of it-
of the greatest seeds
I gave endless of it …
They knew, they never had
They never knew much
I didn’t know that …
I taught them a lot
Endless of my knowledge
They thought they did
I gave them … so much of it
At the end, it was so much
They didn’t know, what to do it
At the end, I had to defend
I decided not
… to crawl and died
Instead, I gathered all my love seeds
That I had planted with super intentions
They took it to the cleaners to wash it out
They placed it with hate … as a debate
They thought was better than love
They never accepted my kindness nor my love
They confused it was hate and a date
They sat-ate with me, like Judas-disciples’
Jesus came to recognized me
Go fast, bring me out of this sight
It was hard to compare at the end
Why such hostility … they with me
Now in reality not in their mentality
I am the one with all the logic they lack
I must place reason, where none
Love bears fruit that hate, had not
The icicles kept me cold
The sun warmed me
The naked trees all says’, seek a home
In the winter beckons to be loved
That’s because, it’s naked and cold
Exposed to the elements and all
You may think they have no souls
How wrong you may think, not!
I dare you not, argue with me
I can prove any dead soul to rise from its grave
Conflict with me that only you can catch a cold
Has anyone performed a swab onto a tree?
Why not?
Start next time
Question this tree
Are you alive or dead?
He will reply “Feel me, and admire me,
… am alive more than you!”
I provide O2 for all of you …
How dare you question me, I have no feelings
Next time, you cut me
Know! That I, do bleed
Perhaps not red like your blood
I do bleed green chlorophyll, as I feel
Feel my heart, the truck you break
Do not leave a fuck note instead grab my trunk
Do not piss me off …
Urinate and toss garage on my sides
Pick up all your crab and garage
Throw it and sale it to the highest bid
It could be recycled …
I advise you, make money from it
Do not piss me off …
By putting , all your unwanted materials
I am not a serial killer
You can take -to court
Resort to criminalize me …
Because, I never provided enough seed for you!
I produced O2
Enough for you … in returned you spat me
As you call me a green rat
Placing multiple of them as a home
My feet were eaten …
I felt all the pains starting green stained
I’ve been turned off for so long
… and you wronged me …
I am over 100 years old
… am to a closing
Am, fading slowing
I’ve taken all the tolls
As I am, am
As I’ve home you dearly
Am not dying with fears
But, with tears …
Of bleeding for humans
I cared …
I will give my last of breaths
Before, I do know
It is, whom shall
Definitely! Get, my last breaths
Do not pour beer to kill me
Do not burn me alive …
I can feel, cry, and get mad …
Every time you pin hate and not a note of love
Am now dying
Am, not dying alone
I see the sun, lastly …
It has been my friend from the start
At the end, it will be with me
My God, proud and pleased with me
Am given my last green breaths
I am content! -for giving all
They never thank me …
Were they supposed to thank me?
I shall not wait
It’s already too late
The tree gates of heaven
Now, awaits …
It’s a slow sun dim
Do I feel no pain?
The sun no longer burns
But, man’s pain
God!
Goodbye, humans
I now leave
… with all my love
My advice to all …
Give respects to all of the trees for your breaths
Even the seeds
You don’t see
Those are the wheats from God
That was once, I
You were all tested …
I’ve once met one human, in my 100 of, years!
Whom, gave me a hung
That was enough …
Am, now departing …
I can’t feel nor see the sun
Whom I have known for a century
It was indeed, my only true friend
Yea, my only
True friend
Am, entering my chlorophyll home
I shall meet all those who have come before me
Now, truly
My life ends …
I do have a friend
That is, my God …

Our guest today is Peter Hays, and he is part of a very enjoyable summertime Seek Reality tradition! We help to promote the annual Spiritist event that is held in the United States at the end of the summer each year. Many people are familiar with Spiritualism, which is a 19th-century, spirits-based movement that originated and still is based in England. But Spiritism, which also began in the 19th century, is based in the teachings of Allen Kardec. And it is now robustly based in Brazil, but it also has become a fairly rapidly-growing spiritual movement in the United States as well. And the US Spiritist Federation is holding its 19th annual Spiritist Convention on September 20th, 2025, at Weber’s Boutique Hotel in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This one will be called The Evolution of Consciousness. And we are delighted to help them get the word out! This year, the US Spiritist Federation has sent us Peter Hays yet again, because we have so much enjoyed talking with him the last few times that he has been here. Peter Hays works at the Spiritist Group Love and Light in Newark, New Jersey. He is also the current Outreach Director of the United States Spiritist Federation, (USSF), and an active participant in the Tri-State Spiritist Federation (TSSF). Peter has published several children’s books with his wife, Beti Rozen, through their company, Sem Fronteiras Press, and with other publishers in Brazil, Colombia, and the U.S. Peter has an extensive background in theatre, and he holds a Master of Fine Arts in Dramatic Writing from New York University. He also works in commercial real estate. The website for the Spiritist Symposium where you can learn more is www.spiritistsymposium.org. And for Peter’s and Beti’s wonderful children’s books, go to Sem Fronteiras Press at www.semfronteiraspress.com. The website for the United States Spiritist Federation is www.spiritist.us.

Deja vu NYC? Listen to Doc Holliday’s 2021 Interview with New York City Candidate for Mayor, Curtis Sliwa
Doc Holliday reaches back into the archives to replay his exclusive interview with the Republican nominee for mayor of New York City, Curtis Sliwa. Curtis is running as the Republican nominee once again in 2025. This is a compelling interview when you consider how much New York City has changed and yet, has not changed since 2021. Listen for yourself and then consider how Curtis Sliwa could do things a little differently and win this race. Don’t forget to check out Doc Holliday’s action adventure, historical novels unlike any story you have ever heard by going to www.hatchiebooks.com.
The author is a a mathematician, former high school and college math teacher, and a teacher of teachers on how to teach math. He may be the only mathematician since the Progressive Education era that began in 1880 to seriously analyze the “lowly” subject of arithmetic and how to teach it.
In his book, Arithmetic Counts. he explains how every textbook-based math program in every elementary school in America is holding children back in math. In writing this book, he hopes to start another round of national math reform like the New Math in the 1960s for high school math teachers, except this time for elementary school teachers to learn how to make arithmetic a success story for all children.
The author’s breakthrough in how to teach arithmetic came when he experimented with teaching what needs to be understood instead of “known” (memorized) about the subject—like teaching why addition is performed the way it is instead of having children practice thousands of addition problems until the algorithm they are using supposedly becomes cemented in their brains.
By teaching the essence of arithmetic in sensible ways and appealing to children’s love of games, songs, and movement, he’s proven that virtually ALL children can learn arithmetic—the foundation for algebra, higher mathematics, science, technology, engineering and more, even music! When children understand arithmetic, they own it. It’s no longer just their teacher’s math. It’s their math!

Savor the Day!
All aspects of diet and Obesity are discussed with an experienced Internist and Cardiologist. Specifically, the protein diet and the Obesity meds like Wygovy are discussed. Also, the difficulties patients have in getting insurance coverage for these and other medications are discussed along with various insurance plans.
Our Seek Reality guest is Beau Williams, who knows how to begin his book with a bang! Beau was half of a lovely couple, and as One Year with My Soulmate begins, he tragically discovers that his beautiful young beloved, Melanie, has just shot herself in the chest with his shotgun. Oh my god! But fortunately, Beau’s engaging bookgets much better from there! Beau was born in Palo Alto, California, where he was a four-sports athlete in high school. He took a postgraduate year at Phillips Andover Academy in Massachusetts, where he first discovered his passion for acting and playwriting. He went on to attend the University of Colorado, where he played tight end, won a Big 12 Championship, and earned a degree in Communication. It was there that he took his first screenwriting course, and he began to write screenplays. Beau moved to Los Angeles in 2004 and became a writer and event producer, with experience in both film and live entertainment. In 2009, he founded Martin Entertainment Group, or (MEG), which has hosted thousands of events across Los Angeles’s beach communities. He wrote, produced, and starred in the feature film Americons, released in 2015, and later he licensed the rights to Bestival, producing Bestival Bali in Indonesia in 2017. Beau’s debut memoir is One Year with My Soulmate, which is the first book in his Sunflower Signals series. This book chronicles the transformative love story between Beau and his late partner, Melanie. It’s a journey through intimacy, grief, spiritual awakening, and post-loss reconnection. This book was written across four countries—Indonesia, the United States, Spain, and Northern Ireland—and guided by signs, synchronicities, and a deep commitment on Beau’s part to honouring Melanie’s life that was cut so short. In October of 2025, Beau will launch a new event in Bali that was inspired by Melanie, called The Butterfly Effect—a healing experience that incorporates the same breathwork, movement, writing, and spiritual practices that he used to help himself to recover from her loss. Beau’s website is http://sunflowersignals.com.

If you thought, I was a threat
You haven’t seen … nothing yet!
A threat is a disturbance
A change in your lifestyle
You are not willing and/or ready to accept
What could it be more?
An environmental wakeup call
An infusion and/or a intrusion
A tsunami, caused by displacement ocean’s
A tornado, taking all in, the forces
Lightning, with intense force
A fire as you, asleep
An attack on your integrity
A discriminatory view of you not true
A crack in the wall placed on you …
What to do? Run fast
While you still can …
Leave behind gate of hate
Keep safe love, where it can never be replaced
Run, run and run fast from that place of hate
Serve love, well. Take a plane
… Where love grows
Can take you to a nice place that is safe
Don’t you ever go, where you find a bug
That hates, instead sit next to a normal flora
That is nice … think twice, who sits next to you
Not a pathogen but, a nice person
Who is friendly
Not a pathogen
Who is not friendly
Who’s a contaminant
… full of hate?
Race to love
… run away from hate
A pathogen
Where can you find a bug?
A pathogen
A multi-drug-resistant organism, MDRO, one
A living fungus
A yeast, a pathogen that is …
Must ask: “Where can you find a bug …?”
Living for long time on surfaces?
Where can a living, unable to be seen
A Living thing onto your skin?
A potential life-threatening innocent
The silence on machines, angels
Those on ventilators, central lines
Feeding tubes, catheters
Indwelling devices, with a yeast host
On alert of acute … long term areas
How fragile is that?
Too much, a rush
To crush this bug
Now, it is hard to brush your hair
You start feeling scared as you dare to wake up
I, you thought
A threat. Oh, not never, I!
You haven’t seen
Nothing yet
… as it states!
I am a multi-drug-resistant
organism (MDRO)
… better yet C.auris
Where can you find it?
Immune compromised suppressed
Debilitating, soft-gentle
Weakened immune systems
All weak victims
… stay strong
… never weak
It is embedded and ready to bed
onto wounds, skin surfaces
Your groin, axilla, ears
As it moves onto your internals
Urine, respiratory thus, blood stream, and so on
Dreams you can’t have
Blame this bug, a yeast you don’t want
Perhaps as you scream
Now, you dream not
… of this nice thing
Am a weapon of mass destruction coming in
Thus, thing creep’s patients in medical devices
Am, a yeast-fungal not a bacterium nor a virus
A multi-drug-resistant, fear me not?
Fear me always … you do not want colonization
How to stop it?
Washing hands
Frequent bathing
Yes, alcohol-based hand sanitizer
(ABHS)
Wake up …now, before too late
You don’t fall asleep and not eat
Because you fear me!
I am a global health threat
Be nice, don’t stay-to go to nursing homes
Don’t be vulnerable-save yourselves
Save yourselves … again and again
Avoid weakness-stay strong
Visit Kryptonite, dream hard
… you came from this place
Wake up next to me
Take care of yourself and your body
Aim to be somebody, but strong
Don’t go wrong, ever! Stay strong
Be nice to it … Eat right
Visit your MD and hang out with love & love
Love and love
More love
… and more of it
I say, love
Yes, love
Protect your nervous system
Don’t be nervous 2go to your MD
Seek help early on
If you need a ventilator
Tell all your friends
Take care
Early on …
Protect your larger one
Your skin … it’s your heavy blanket
Wrap yourself with love
Am, here to stay
Wake up and don’t visit me
Run away from me, super-fast
Where? Can you find me?
Am Candida auris, never your friend
If your immune system
A super good one
I shall avoid you
I will skip you
You, now last online
If you weaken
Immune system
You now opened to me
You belong to me
You first online … I, to cause a crime
Don’t be blind
Wake up!
Avoid me!
Yes, at all cause
Defrost me, claim love never hate
As you allow me in… I shall walk in …
I, now you unfriend onto your skin
As I crept in …
I know, your new friend
Which, that you don’t want
Why not! Am a bug
That causes illnesses
Am yeast …
You, definitely
Do not want
May, I say
Am your worst
Of nightmare …
I might have said it before
I fight to get in and leave you in despair
Race and face your nightmares
I can now give you nightmares
Pray and run from me
From that place onto your skin
Seek out your best Infectious Disease, MD
She may still be learning
Get your book
Seek out your best MD
Not here on this Earth
Pray for Him to get rid of this MDRO
An opportunist … you?
Yes, you are …
Vulnerable to the elements
A hospitalized patient
As you become victimized-colonized
C.auris now your friend
Is not airborne
However, it can
During sneezing
As aerosols-generating high turbulence
As activities
Bed setting
Unpractical touching
Can set in contamination
As potential threats of spread kicks in …
There’s another MDRO
Surely, raising up
It’s coccidiomycosis
(coc·cid·i·oi·do·my·co·sis)
A polymorphic fungus, in its parasitic phase
It is caused by Coccidioides immitis
Endemic SW of USA and northern Mexico
Thus, fungus comes to life as mycelial strands
With infective form …
No other than, arthroconidia
What kills Coccidioidomycosis?
Yea, what kills Coccidioides?
Of course, antifungal meds
That of: Fluconazole (Diflucan)
Itraconazole (sporadic, tours)
Is the killing effect of coccidioidomycosis
How to disinfect surfaces … Infected
Contaminated cleaned?
10% bleach and
70% ethanol
Let’s think again …
Let’s put on a thinking cap again & again
Perhaps not of a hat
Let’s prefer a helmet
That will not allow a bug to crawl in
Let’s not be dumb
Let’s never pretend
You thought you had a friend
A normal flora, can
Never a pathogen whom-whom never can!
You thought, I a dumb head …
That grew mold, as you been told
As the story quickly gets old and bold
Without neurons but, pseudo-hyphae
Am a Candida auris, MDRO yeast
… that I, am
How can you kill me?
… echinocandins, an antifungal drug
Rezafungin: An Intravenous drug perhaps
Sources infect: Wounds, urine and blood
How, it looks onto soft skin?
Yea, how it looks
-into soft skin?
Color red, small, raised rash …
Cure me?
Some say turmeric home remedy
Can fix a fungal infection
You tell that to a pharmacist!
How about apple cider vinegar (ACV), maybe!
Amphotericin B deoxycholate
I mg/kg daily
Infants of 2 months
We know today
Echinocandins
- Resistant increasing fast
Non-invasive sites
Urines and respiratory
Should you treat
Colonized patients
With C.auris?
Ask the pharmacist
-not the Microbiologist
He/she will refer
-to the Micro Tech
Refer back-and-forth
Anidulafungin 200 mg IV
Thus, 100 mg IV daily
Just like that
- not FDA for children
Caspofungin, 70 mg IV
Yea, 70 mg IV … Thus, 50 mg IV daily
Based body surface area
Micafungin 100 mg IV daily
… This end
How to end a MDRO?
Reach out to your senator
Big pharma to work
On a killing of a pathogen
Never, a normal flora, which is safe to have
Send out a soldier, you can fight enemies
A soldier …
Whom sees, us all equal
Willing to defend, us all
Perhaps loose his life
Because he knew
He must give us freedom
He only wished
He had …
Instead, he prefers
To die and defend
This way …
He is satisfied at the end
His friends are the love he gave
A price he paid …with his life and all
Because he knew his love was that strong
To die for his countrymen, tall and all
Buried under the sun alone, God sees
Only his goodness … He, his only witness
He was sent home
His only home …
He now, only knows
That was because he was once homeless
He was given a temporary home
His new permanent home
Will always last … he, in no rush
That was because there he’ll be left alone
With music melodies never end
He has been pinned with endless love
Here, comes everyone
Reach out to love
There’s a defender in heaven
Whom have died for everyone
Pray and sing, love been sprayed on 2everyone
Come all …
Come all, come all
Sing praises to a soldier who had endless love
Come, come hear his cries
Where, he now resides in the skies
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet
We have moved beyond the prayers at specific times of day (which we continue to use) and are focusing now on different Occasions or “Moments” that may (or may not) occur during a day which can give us another way to acknowledge our spirituality. The Crone & Sage discuss two occasions: To Express Gratitude and When Feeling Uneasy. They begin today’s conversation talking about the negative reactions of some people to the word “Liturgy” itself and we hope it allows people who may be put off by this a chance to understand why we picked this loaded word not only for our book title but this particular section of it also.
Originally published May 27, 2021. The pandemic we all experienced brought unprecedented challenges: soaring divorce rates, rising suicide among all age groups, and a profound sense of disconnection. For many, there was no roadmap for navigating such turmoil.
Even as time has passed, the impact remains. The lessons we learned about resilience, mental health, and human connection are as relevant today as ever. In this powerful conversation, we revisit the Four B’s of Happiness—practical, transformative principles that help us find hope and meaning, no matter what life brings.
This isn’t your typical look at how our minds and hearts respond to crisis. It’s an inspiring reminder that we can adapt, heal, and thrive. Tune in to this special encore episode to rediscover the strength within you.

In this episode, Dazzling Through the Strings of Life with Violinist Amy Serrano, I sit down with internationally renowned violinist Amy Serrano, a powerhouse performer who’s graced the stages of Carnegie Hall, dazzled crowds in London, Egypt, Thailand, and Costa Rica, and performed for artists like Ludacris and Jason Mraz. Amy doesn’t just play music—she evokes emotion, radiates style, and captivates hearts.
We discuss how her early introduction to the violin at age three—thanks to her parents’ love for music—set her on a path filled with both discipline and discovery. Amy opens up about the evolution of her passion, from classical rigidity to electric freedom, and how meeting her husband helped her unlock an entirely new expression of her art. Today, she moves through rooms—not concert seats—infusing each note with joy, personality, and soul.
We also talk about:
✨The shift from tradition to bold self-expression
✨How her electric violin helped her break the mold
✨The love story that redefined her sense of gratitude
✨Why music is more than performance—it’s connection
✨How she lives to enhance moments and elevate emotions
https://youtu.be/z6jnRO1QOWwWhether dazzling audiences in couture or stirring emotion with a single note, Amy’s presence is unforgettable. Her story is a celebration of passion, perseverance, and freedom.

This is a delightful children’s book aimed at 4–10-year-olds. The illustrations done by Linda herself are bright, vivid, creative and engaging, young minds will love them. The story is based on Linda’s own experience as a child whose hair would easily get tangled in the wind. The prospect of her Nana with a hairbrush in hand was enough to bring about tears, her Nana would distract Linda while detangling her hair by scolding the wild animals she said were causing her tangles. This process Linda used both on her own daughters and granddaughters. Linda has entwined this everyday experience into a ridiculous rhyme for young children to enjoy.

Oh dear—Mona has lost her Teddy, and she has no idea where he’s gone. Maybe he’s hiding. Maybe he’s off on an adventure of his own. Today, we’re meeting Maisa Samman, the author behind Where is Teddy?, a story that blends childhood wonder with a bit of mystery and a lot of heart.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
In the previous edition of Newsgram we talked about Mathematics and how math is everywhere and I want to reflect on that concept for minute because finding a lost item or tracing your steps to find something you’ve lost is kind of like solving a little puzzle; listing clues, testing possibilities and working it out one step at a time. For Maisa Samman, that idea became the spark for Where is Teddy?
Maisa Samman – And it was for a math class where we had to come up with a children’s story based on mathematical concepts and prepositions. So that was really where I got the idea from, but really, you know, obviously the idea came from, you know, my own childhood experience of losing a favorite toy and really trying to find it.
It’s a great concept because who can’t relate to that? Whether it’s your keys or your phone or something else we can all relate to the idea of trying to find something we’ve lost. Maisa has taken it to a new level and put a kind of enchanted spin on it with a lovable teddy bear that keeps moving around.
Maisa Samman – Little Mona, you know, she’s lost her Teddy. She’s going on an adventure in her home, you know, there’s no limits for her. She’s going into every single room. It’s trying to recall every single place that she would possibly have left him. But, you know, he just keeps running off. And, you know, even as an adult, sometimes, you know, you’ve got to retype your steps and like, where did I put this? Like, where do I go? I have to go back in this room and go back in that room and trying to find what I’m looking for.
It’s a feeling that’s almost universal—the mix of frustration, curiosity, and hope.
Back in 1995, Pixar released its very first entirely computer-animated feature film, Toy Story. It wasn’t just groundbreaking technology—it was the first time so many of us stopped to wonder: what really happens to our toys when we’re not looking? That simple idea planted something magical in our imaginations. Suddenly, it didn’t seem so far-fetched that a toy wasn’t just misplaced…maybe it had a life of its own, and it simply wandered off on an adventure of its own.
Maisa Samman – Yeah, I guess I was low key inspired by Toy Story. Right. But like, you know, like, do my toys come alive when I do sleep? Like, I’ve got to keep an extra close eye on them. Like, you know, where do they go during the night or I’m not around? Like, are they really moving when I’m not around? Like, you know, so I sort of brought that to life. Like, you know, she doesn’t even remember where she put Teddy. So maybe he’s the one that’s like walked off.
She says what began as a twelfth-grade math project eventually grew into a children’s book incorporating mathematical concepts. Over time, it also became a project that helped her heal. Finishing the book wasn’t just about checking off a box on her bucket list—it was a way to reclaim a sense of purpose and joy during an incredibly difficult time.
Maisa Samman – I used to work in child care. So I would take this draft book and I’d read it to my students in child care. And they loved it. And then I’ve just recently gone through a separation and it’s a very stressful separation. So I was like, you know what, this is on my bucket list. I’ve always wanted to see my name on the shelf of the bookshop. You know, like I’ve always had this dream of publishing this book. So I focused my energy, my positive energy into creating this book and finally publishing it. And it’s just an amazing sense of achievement. And I really want to share this achievement with other people, other people that are struggling, single mums or anyone that’s going through a difficult time. Focus your energy on something positive that you’re proud of and something that you created, which is what I did.
Yea, there’s no hiding that when you read the book. The cover is very simple. Just the words “Where is Teddy?” And a series of question marks but inside it’s very different. That is where the real magic happens.
Maisa Samman – I just hope that it invokes this sense of mystery, adventure, curiosity, the just the fact that they have that option that they can join along with the sentences and they can join in. For example, if you’re reading it individually to a child or with a classroom, if you’re a teacher, like, you know, they can all join in and then that you’ve got that, you know, every all the children joining in in unison, reading this book and it is just, you know, wanting to know where is he? Where is he hiding?
Can you hear that? A whole classroom full of children gathered around for story time and yelling Where is he? Where is Teddy Hiding??? I love that.
Maisa Sammon – And I’m just proud of Mona in my own book because she’s doing it on her own. She’s searching for it on her own without any assistance.
A bit of hide and seek, a little detective work and some basic math to try and uncover the mystery behind this cheeky little, mischievous bear and its owner, little Mona.
Maisa Sammon – Mona is actually one of my auntie’s names. She’s very special to me. Um, and I’ve always liked that name and I found that very, it’s like a simple, very feminine name and it’s just cute. And I just thought, you know, I want to sort of, you know, name my character after my auntie. So that’s where I got the name idea from.
Just another element that makes this story feel so personal and so full of heart. If you have little ones, three years or older at home or know anyone that would enjoy Where is Teddy? by Maisa Samman it’s now available pretty much all over the internet.
Maisa Samman – So xlibris.com.au or xlibris.com or I also have my own social media, which is made by Mesa. So M A D E underscore B Y underscore Mesa, M A I S A. So you can find me on Instagram too. You can order directly from me or from the xlibris website.
If you didn’t write that down don’t worry about it. We have links for you in the show notes and if you’ve ever misplaced something important, then you’ll definitely be able to relate to Mona’s search. That will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com. Thanks for listening.

What if every child could love math—and be good at it? Dr. Paul Shoecraft says they can. In his book Arithmetic Counts, he reveals how understanding (not memorizing) helps kids truly own arithmetic—and the confidence that comes with it. Tune in to hear how we can finally fix the way we teach math.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
The other day I was talking to a friend of mine about my lack of math skills. It’s amazing how often we rely on math in daily life—and how often I wish I’d learned it better. I still remember my grammar school math teacher telling us how important it was. But instead of focusing on the math, I mostly noticed his short fuse and how frustrated he’d get trying to drill concepts into my head like a third-world dictator.
High school wasn’t much better. Algebra was required, and for some reason, my brain just didn’t click with it. But maybe that’s the problem. There’s nothing wrong with my brain. It was the system. No kid is going to win the, it’s you not me argument, but in reality we were right because the way math is taught in this country has been flawed for generations and today, with the help of Paul Shoecraft, author of Arithmetic Counts, I’m going to prove it.
Paul Shoecraft – Arithmetic is a language. It’s a written language for describing numeric events precisely and precisely. Events like paying bills, making out a budget, or buying a car.
That is a glimpse into the solution he’s created but first let’s examine the scope of the problem.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, more than half of American adults lack the basic math skills needed to function effectively in daily life—including things like comparing prices, calculating tips, or understanding basic graphs and like me Paul Shoecraft has had enough. It’s time to fix this problem. And it starts by forgetting about memorization—pun intended.
Paul says we have to look at things differently and stop focusing on memorization.
Paul Shoecraft – Exactly and it’s been that way for over 100 years. I didn’t start school until the first grade but in the first grade, we just added and subtracted small numbers. In the second grade, we did the same thing. In grade three, we also just added and subtracted small numbers. We didn’t get the multiplication and division until grade four and that’s holding children back. Oh my goodness, that’s four years. If you count kindergarten, K1, 2, and 3 are spent on just adding and subtracting small numbers so that children can memorize the addition and subtraction facts. We take four years trying to get children to memorize something that we know they’re going to forget. Not everyone has a good memory for the numbers so we know going in that we’re going to fail with a lot of children. We’ve demonstrated that every year for more than 100 years and yet we’ve done nothing about it.
Here’s another way to look at it. Remember those late nights when you were pumped up on sugar and caffeine?
Paul Shoecraft – Well, you didn’t cram for two weeks before the test, you crammed for the night before because you knew that if you crammed for too far in advance, you would start forgetting what you had tried to memorize or what you memorize
This really hits home for me because I believe in treating the problem not the symptoms. Paul’s system “Move it Math” was designed as an alternative to rote memorization of math facts, his system focuses on understanding concepts and active engagement. His system was piloted in elementary classrooms where they weren’t forced to memorize the number facts and you know what he found?
Paul Shoecraft – Well, they get it and when you know how to figure out the number of facts, when you can count them out and there’s 390 of them, that’s a lot to remember and most people can’t do that but there are some who can. Maybe 10 percent of the population can do that and they’ve become the standard but the rest of us who by definition are normal, no, we forget and we know forgetting is a human condition.
I won’t belabor this point any longer because I think you get it. There is a better way out there but the reason I’m so passionate about this is that struggling with math creates a feeling of failure and that can follow you around for the rest of your life.
Paul Shoecraft – The analogy I use here is checkers and chess. If you know how to play both games, I’ll bet it bothers you more to lose a game of chess than it does a game of checkers. Checkers is a child’s game. Chess, that’s for grown-ups and when you lose that, when you lose a chess, that’s like you’re pitting your intelligence against someone else’s intelligence and it hurts a little. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And you take children who are having difficulty in arithmetic because they keep forgetting, say, the number of facts like 2 plus 3 is 5 and 7 times 8 is 56. They just don’t jump into their minds like they’re supposed to if you memorize them. Well, they tend to doubt their ability to do math because they’re being told, hey, you have to know this by now, whatever that is. You have to practice this until you can say it or do it without even thinking. Just like you can say your own name. Well, that’s baloney. That’s baloney.
So why would we create a system that inherently instills a sense of failure in our kids? It’s not intentional. I know plenty of teachers who work very hard to avoid those feelings and to be fair many of them understand Paul’s system and use it in their own way but we are painting with a broad brush here because the majority of instructors do focus on memory and there is just something about math. When we can’t do it, it gets under our skin, at least it did for me.
Paul Shoecraft – I had a terrible time in history, for instance. I couldn’t remember names and dates for the darn. But you know, that never bothered me. I never thought I was stupid because I got seized in history in high school. I thought history was stupid. I don’t think that now. But I didn’t take it personally, doing poorly in history. But when I got confused in algebra in the ninth grade, I took that very personally. That bothered me. Wait a minute. This is about thinking. If I can’t do this well, I’m in trouble.
There’s not much we can do about that. But we can help kids better understand math—and avoid those feelings of hopelessness. It’s really important. I looked into this. Here is a trivia question for you. What professions are populated mostly by people who cannot do math? The answer is none. All work fields within our society require basic numeracy. All of them!
Paul Shoecraft – It’s a big deal. I didn’t realize it was such a big deal, frankly, until I wrote my book.
In 2022 Brian Butterworth published a book called “Can Fish Count?: What Animals Reveal About Our Uniquely Mathematical Minds and in it he says animals like bees and fish have innate math skills and he shows how studying them reveals where our sense of numbers comes from.
Butterworth argues that low numeracy has profound personal and societal costs. While some researchers debate the exact scope of these effects, his work underscores why this matters.
Paul Shoecraft – I’m going to read a quote here of what he said in his book, that a poor understanding of numbers is a serious handicap for individuals. Low numeracy can be a matter of life and death. A large-scale study of adults with colon cancer in the UK and US found that those with low numeracy were less likely to participate in screening, and were more likely to be defensive in getting cancer information, and hence more likely to be untreated or treated too late. In 2009, it was calculated that the cost of the lowest 6% of numeracy in England is about 2.4 billion pounds, or about $3 billion a year, in lost taxes, due to lower earnings, higher rates of unemployment, and increased costs of crime, education, and health. It’s a big deal.
Having said all this, I realize I’m probably talking to someone who struggles with math—and I get that. But if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to at least try to change things. Because there are real consequences to maintaining the status quo. Here’s an example.
Paul Shoecraft – Well, Microsoft, they moved one of their plants to Canada just because there they could hire the people they needed, but they couldn’t in the States because of immigration laws. Our children, they’re not prepared to do good jobs in America that require expertise in the STEM disciplines, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
He used the buzz word Immigration so I want to clarify that. In 2007, during the George W. Bush presidency, Microsoft opened a software development center in Vancouver, Canada and the stated reason was that U.S. immigration restrictions made it hard to hire skilled foreign workers in the U.S. so the point is they had no choice. There weren’t enough skilled workers here so they had to hire from somewhere else and it’s not getting any better. Now, while this is just one example it speaks to the importance of this issue. On the flip side, there are also debates about whether the problem is really skills related or mismatch of pay and training so I get that too and we can debate all that another time.
In his book Arithmetic Counts: Why Americans Have Trouble With Math and How to Fix It, Paul Shoecraft says let’s treat arithmetic like a language not just a bunch of numbers and teach it to children just like we do English.
Paul Shoecraft – When children realize that arithmetic is just a written language for describing concisely and precisely what is occurring around them every day, arithmetic becomes real to them. And here’s how you make it real to them.
Here is a crash course for you. Now sit up and pay attention. This is important.
Paul Shoecraft – Take the numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. They are the alphabet for this language.
And they’re used to spell numbers. Numbers are nouns because they are the names of things, namely amounts, like the cost of something. And addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are verbs because they are common, everyday actions that can be performed with numbers or amounts of things. Specifically, addition is a combining action, like putting groceries in a shopping basket, or dinnerware in a dishwasher. Multiplication is also a combining action, but of amounts that are alike, like building a brick wall or putting a handful of nickels in a piggy bank. Subtraction is a separating action, like taking a bite out of an apple or robbing a piggy bank. Division is also a separating action, but into equal amounts, like cutting a pizza into eighths or sharing the cost of a meal with a friend. Now, we talk about four operations, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but it’s true, we only do two things with numbers. We either combine them or we separate them. And then it’s a matter of style. Well, how did you combine it? Did you just combine them or did you have to combine things that were the same?
And since most of us learn by doing here is the homework section
Paul Shoecraft – You say to the children, we want you to go home, we want you to look around the house and write down all of the combining actions you see, and write down all of the separating actions you see, and then break those up into whether you’re just combining anything or combining things that are all the same. Like if you were counting shoes, you know, in your closet, or you could count by twos. You’re combining the same thing, the same amount each time. And then when they come back to class, this would go on for weeks, and then you make a poster, okay? Let’s list this. Addition is, how do we know something is an addition problem? Well, it’s going to look like this, and you have maybe 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 different common everyday combining actions that children are familiar with.
The same for subtraction, multiplication, and division. This makes arithmetic real. They can see it every day. They live with it, and they realize that, and that motivates them to learn it.
If you were able to follow that then the cover of his book will now make a lot more sense to you. Look it up online and you’ll see what I mean.
There is empirical evidence about math performance here in the U.S. that shows decline and improvements at different times throughout history but I think Paul Shoecraft has really hit on something here. We need a better way to make arithmetic real and easy for kids to learn and understand. H is book Arithmetic Counts: Why Americans Have Trouble With Math and How to Fix It is a great resource for doing just that. It is an unapologetic back-to-basics program that teaches understanding instead of repetition and it’s available now at Amazon.com or wherever you like to buy books online.
So whether you’re a parent, a teacher, or someone who still feels haunted by math class, maybe it’s time we tried something different.

MJ, the play, you may think of him
… is not really him irrelevant
… of what you may think of him
He was a music man, king of pop
A son to God
A creature of God
A soldier, with a will to live
Death by man, his time was not up
He still had music to give
The world loss an artist
His children their dad,
What’s missing, know he had plentiful 2give
At the end
It was sad
Unable to bring an artist back
Today, able to give life back through his music
We know, none are born
… with a prescription pinned
Like Jesus died
… on the cross with
A crown …
As it was inscribed: INRI
Latin “King of the Jews”!
As he died and rest to stand the test of times
Not MJ with endless critiques
Almost pinned like a black Jew
Did parents throw their children to the wolves?
To be feed to the dog or were they the dog?
MJ, the musical!
Came to life Thursday May 1, 2025 at 7PM
Heartfelt for love … with dances and songs
The floors moved and he moved with every beat
Guest what, Michael Jackson
He was no different, then anyone of us
Did anyone saw that coming?
A genius of his times
Hey, you define a masterpiece?
It is after their death, they rise like the sun
Leaving endless marks …
As we can now mark our calendars
To watch the play again and again
In our heads, in the minds of endless
That it is now, we beginning to comprehend
A man, whom was never shown love
It was perhaps, just that …
That he stood out among the many of others
As he was seeking out love
Just like Jesus, both misunderstood
Whom are we to judge?
Judge him right or wrong
You and I, were never there
All man, will try to bribe if you’ve money
Was MJ a victim?
Did he victimize?
Let us all realize
Think twice, next time you pass judgement
The pain that’s strong
You can never right a wrong
But, you can-but, yea you got to get strong
When all the storms are aimed straight at you
It was so sad
To learn what was done
Perhaps you an innocent man
He was anesthetized
Yea, he was anesthetized
To be sized to death
All his talents
Buried with him
Today, crown king of pop
Who can pop a bottle and cork it back?
Can anyone stand up states
“MJ was a man, in need of our love?”
Haven’t you been misunderstood?
Have you been told, how others misinformed?
You in hurts …
Of the stories told, that was not you!
Not even him, the genius music man
Whom, was on his league all his own
Unable to stand up to defend himself
He defenseless and soon coming to an end
He couldn’t fight
He was not a bull
He was not a wrestler
He a teaser for everyone
We thought he’ll live forever … and ever
He was misunderstood
All took him to the woods
To be bury in the woods
All wanted his talents and his hoods
In the woods, is where they buried his love
He was so misunderstood …
He was taken for granted
His playground
Never existed
He called it “Neverland”
A land that was never there
Or existed
Only in his mind
Where his animals
Gave him love
A phony psychiatrist
Whom provided him
A fake prescription
To fall asleep never to wake up
Did he think this was love?
For MJ, it was
For others, watching their tv screens
OMG! Michael Jackson taking out in a stretcher!
They said endless of things
Remarks that hurt-ed so much
Much to say …
As word, spread like flies
They left spreading words
Like fires …
They left him
… with white marks
Yes … embedded onto his skin
Like an uncontrolled train rushing in
He hearing all in
Unable to bear it
All in all, trying to ease him
They took all his black skin
In order to make him fit in placed it onto a jar
He was no fool, it was a skin disease
He had a disease
Where cells produce melanin, died
And/or stops to function
Thus called “Vitiligo”
If thus, is not bad enough
You tell me, what is?
He gave his dad
… endless of thrills
He gave his fans
Enormous thrills
With albums
Like, Thriller
Whom can hate and stone MJ?
Watching, observing and looking back
It was human alright!
Those without sins, cast the first stones!
He wasn’t perfect
Neither, are we
Let us stand today
Make room for a man that once’ s lived
He thrilled us
With his music genius
His feet hit the floors
… with his every beat
He twisted, banged, and sang songs
Like a genius
But, more than that a man
… whom was hated
He accused as a pedophile
You show me the proof!
A man lacking love
… beatings from his dad
With no childhood memories
But, a dad with dreams
Holding his sons to extreme
“You got to do this for the family!”
Yes, dad
It is understood
As it stated to Michael
“Work harder, but dad, “I am!” It is not enough?
You show me what you got
Is the Jackson family you got?
Your talent unique …
Given by Jackson’s blood
… and its genes to carry on
Family patriarch
Now, show me the money!
Is what counts in this family …!
Is only that …
MJ the Musical, proved to be a sensation
Yes, it was a sensation
… standing ovation, applause
Yea, go Michael, yea, yea, go Michael
In NYC …
Neil Simon Theater
It all came to life
In a city, that never sleeps
A mark left
… like a diamond
… in the rough
He had a rough
Life, alright!
He came out
All under the sun
He triumphs
With his talent
… and all
All screamed
To an amazing night
A show to reveal to all
The king of pop … is not dead
Never died, as he came to full life
I, impressed … and? All we
With his quick feet, as it speaks
To the music beat getting everyone on its feet
I never tied of the endless rhythms
Let’s all realize
Michael Jackson was the King of Pop
Prince Roger Nelson, the Prince of Pop
Taylor Swift princess, of Pop
she can sing and pop notes
Aretha Franklin, queen of soul
Marvin Gay, Prince of Motown, Prince of Soul
Louis Armstrong, master jazz trumpeter
Winston Marsalis jazz trumpeter of our days
Donna Summer, queen of disco in the 70’s
Diana cross, queen of Motown
Elvis Presley, king of Rocks & Roll
The Beatles, most influential pop music history
Jesus Christ …
The only Superstar musical
“Jesus Christ Superstar”
It was music by Andrew Lloyd Weber
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Did he eat rice?
Whom rose music to new heights
With operatic beats sung throughout rocks
Did any throw rocks
Because, they didn’t like it?
Oh’ no … Everyone loved it, bring back
Bring back, Jesus Christ Superstar, the rock!
What do they have in common?
They all stood out
As loud as anyone and any sounds
Leaving everyone begging for more songs
All clasping their hands …
Their feet standing
To their every beat
As their heartbeats sound
Can be put to sleep
Yes, as their heartbeats
Sounds can put you to sleep
To all their unique beats
Come, come …
Listen to the beat
Come, come stand up
Listen the to all these beats of music melodies
I can, be put to sleep
To these musical listening
… of MJ the Musical songs
Lyrics of Man in the Mirror
Am now asleep, good night to all
To those, whom has no sins
You cast the first stones
Why is it, is now we triumph listening to MJ?
We now, recognizing a man ahead of his times
Why is it an artist must first die
In order to rise … like the sun?
They are not Jesus, Moses
A prophet, a messiah nor God
They’re all man
With bones and full flesh
Let’s start fresh …
Do not criticize the next artist!
They may be the next MJ
With plagues, fabrics unlike yours
Give them room to grow
Do not disturb their peace
Do not send them
To an early grave
They could be your son’s or daughter’s
Of tomorrows … with sorrows and troubles
Understand them
Give the love
Give them a hug
Give them your love
You tell me
You’ve no troubles
No sins nor never a body placed a wrong pin
Onto your body …or skin
You got to make it known
Do not place a pin onto my body
You never ask for it … you never gave authority to be pin onto your body
The next time some want to claim your body
To place and taint it
You stand up, state
“Hands off, “this is my body not your’ s!”
He, MJ simply a special being
Whom can sing like the winds that now strings
In the winds you can hear Michael sing
He can shake and sing
… unlike anyone in the winds
He can dig a song
He can dig a hole in your heart
He can pierce a cry in our soul
Because, he lacked love and he can give us love
We all begin to hear
Of his cries in the grave
As … dare never to cry
We now know, there’ll never be another Michael
He was no imitation
He had no limits
He was the real deal
He stole the show, he commanded our attention
His music uniquely pleasant to hear
Our ears opened wide
Just like the opened sky
That now rhyme as he died
Can you tell me
Am wrong?
What’s wrong with this picture?
If he states, “What the world needs is love!”
Where can you find love?
Where can you start to look for it?
Where can you search for it?
Where can you recover, if is not from love?
Know, is only love worth fighting
Know, love worth living because, what’s needed
Worth dying, if you know Earth never had it
Love, that you been waiting and ran out of it
Did MJ find love at the end?
Everyone glued to the tv screens
… as seen of his lifeless body
… moved onto the ambulance
At last
He’s free … alright
From the tv screams and the scenes
As everyone screamed
I shall pause
A silence …
For Michael Jackson
For MJ, as we celebrate “MJ the Musical”
MJ died silently, he never felt it coming?
An OD, over dose like most famous of the souls
Suicide, by his own hands
Suicide, by assisted, o ’no by wrong hands; MD
Taken to court
To be proven
A case closed
Death by OD?
… increased lethal dose
… to sleep by his MD
… yes, his psychiatric
I like to end
MJ is asleep
Don’t wake him up
Say nice things
Not bad to wake him up
Yes, he asleep aright
Make right …
Give room to sleep
Don’t wake him up
Let Him
Sleep!

How Artificial Intelligence is being used in surgery and medicine is discussed. Such as applications to make Robotic surgery safer. AI can also be used to do Meta analyses of multiple medical journal articles and consolidate their findings. Dr. Grasso also has a suggestion to use AI in surgical resident training to make autopsies much less invasive and much more affordable.
Join Doc Holliday this week for an exciting interview with someone born in Iran, has relatives still in Iran, and knows what is happening with the people of Iran today. In this insightful interview you will hear more about if the people of Iran should be listening to the former Shah’s son. You will hear answers about: is regime change possible? We know so little from just clips from reporters on the big news networks, so take this opportunity to hear a doctor tell her inside knowledge of Iran today. And did you know what two countries invaded Iran during World War II? Listen to this week’s show to find out along with many things that may surprise you!.
In this episode, Advocacy with Heart – Regan Phillips on Championing Children Through CASA OC, we sit down with Regan Phillips, CEO of CASA OC, whose life’s work is rooted in child advocacy, empathy, and the unwavering belief that every child deserves consistent care and connection. From intern at CASA NYC to now leading the Orange County chapter, Regan brings a powerful blend of legal expertise, intuition, and heartfelt purpose to her role.
We explore how Regan turned down the position at CASA OC twice before finally saying yes—trusting her gut that the timing needed to be right for her family and her calling. She shares how practicing law revealed that many professionals aren’t apathetic but overwhelmed, which reframed her understanding of systemic issues and strengthened her resolve to make a difference.
More than a profession, CASA is her passion project. Through this work, she empowers volunteers to step in as advocates for children who often need just one reliable, caring adult to help them feel safe—and thrive.
We also discuss:
- The life-changing impact of one consistent adult in a child’s life
- Why Regan leads with intuition and empathy
- A heartwarming story of a child who found his voice—literally—through his advocate
- The thoughtful volunteer matching system CASA uses to create transformational relationships
- How you can support this vital mission and help children feel seen, heard, and valued
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/QkK8c7tjYbERegan’s story is a reminder that our timing, our intuition, and our willingness to show up can change lives.

After going through the Liturgy of the Hours Prayers relating to specific times of the day, the Crone and Sage now turn their attention to what we call Occasions prayers, those small moments that can happen throughout our day or sometimes which we can use when we have the time to focus on being Witchy for just a moment or two. The first three are When Crossing a Threshold, Before Eating, and Before Drinking. Hope you enjoy trying these as part of your personal Liturgy practice.
Our guest this week is unusual. Ali Crawford is her pen name, but we are happy to use it because she is protecting herself from the baddies in her family’s scary past. In Ali’s book, Heaven Help Us, she talks about her awful childhood, her son Jake’s visions, and the frightening things that she says happened to her family that were confrontations with dark and dangerous forces on both spiritual and physical planes. Those who are familiar with the Bible know that Jesus removed scary demons that had possessed people, and perhaps you thought those were metaphoric tales, and those demons were not real demons at all. Well, actually they were real, and such demonic creatures still do exist, although most modern people never encounter them because nearly every modern person’s spiritual vibrations are high enough that we can avoid them. “Shadow Men” are the most common very-low-vibration modern nasties that you might hear about, and there is a Shadow Man in Ali’s book. Fascinating! The more evil some being is, the lower it vibrates and the weaker it is. It has to feed on our fear in order for it to exist at all, so that is what these nasties do. They try to scare us in the dark, so always give young children a nightlight, especially if they are very afraid of the dark. If they are afraid of the dark, there may be a VERY good reason! If a Shadow Man latches onto a small child, he will sometimes try to cling to that person and be a problem for his whole life. Heaven Help Us is a fascinating book about how using spiritual good, which is God’s pure love, to fight spiritual evil, especially including religious evil, is going to be a winner, every time! That is what Jesus did. And we can do it, too!

There’s a famous song
With an intrusive view
It’s so hard to view
Because his name was Luka
He lived in the 2nd floor, he was abused
It came to life with lyrics and all
By singer, Suzanne Vega
If you ever hear his cries
He was never satisfied of his blows
As the wind blows, u can hear his cries louder
That which, no one heard …
If anyone opens his tiny torso-am sure bruised
Also confused, only food were his head blows
Not love there, but hate as his roof
Am sure, he huffs and puffs as toys were stuffed
There’s an enormous lack of love
How tough for a 2-year-old
To start a life abandoned and pin to hate
Whom are we to blame, if-when he wakes up
Now with a gun, he killed and then ended
Mothers and fathers
Where are you today?
Where is your place in society?
Can a child defend for themselves
A tiny kitten can’t, what makes you think
Can a 2-year-old?
Now, court decision is changing.
It will be, you both now charged
You abandoned a soul
Placing hate, instead of love
Call me Minnie, never JLO from the Bronx
I may have worked there
I rushed out and escaped fast
I had too much love, before they permanently
Tattooed in my brain that, was never love
I broke multiple bones
Starting to heal
The most was my brain
That’s because it hard to erase
I tried using whiteout and an eraser
It didn’t work … I sought help
From the number one MD
He came for me
Provided a prescription man never have
That was my will live… my God, gave me that
You may not know me
But I do know you …
If I may have seen confused
If I may be presented with no will 2live
Nor give in … It was not because, I was weak
It you thought I was mute
Thus, saw I couldn’t stop talking
Because, inside I was bleeding out love
As no gauze could close those wounds
Perhaps, with a nice perfume on my clothes
To make me look, un-home
As the only proof, I was alive but,
… dying inside from blows should never taken
I was never homeless, alright, inside
… just, appearing like not
Why was that?
… regardless well-dressed had endless of love
… from my hubby and son, not enough from
…. Because, those fools tried hard bury me alive
None knew love, I can now claim
The very few … who was nice enough
To respect me
That was enough!
That was a lot to grab
However, too many haters on my back
On that horrific crazy job that I loved
I did leave, my bed sweats
… from endless tears
I walked in cleaned
I left them dirty from their looks
No-one should be able to overpower you
… like that
None should treat like that
Pinning onto you
Your garbage, they are not
As a Microbiologist in-charged it didn’t matter
How Brillant, I was
With all my neurons were attached
They tried to prove it was not
As an impeccable writer and Microbiologist
They all tried to discredit my records
To prove, I can’t read, speak nor rule
I want to let you in to a secret
They never believed in love
That I had and almost died for it
My words of advice to all
Don’t do what I did
Sacrifice my life
For a job that at the end
Tried to defame, discriminate, incriminate
Sacrifice like Christ
With a pen and paper as a script
It was the final straw
It was God coming in
With an invisible rod, He now in-charge not HR
He indicated: “How can you cuff an innocent woman, without a crime?”
He grabbed my hands, “Let’s get out here!”
We did, “Am, I am looking back?”
It was not an easy pill to swollen
I felt like a child
… abused by a system, that had rules for me
They questioned my psyche
The niceness as weakness
My professionalism as having none
They tried to pin my nice on them
When all I saw on they were sneaks from
Their mouths, coming out
Were they all sneaks?
You judge them, not me
They tried to prove I was wrong, never them
How much do you know of a published scientist?
A guest speaker at Vancouver, Canada
A Research Scientist at Harvard
It was never enough. Never for them
They pictured me as dead brain
That’s ok …
My God, knows me well
Difference and distinguish between them
I am no fool, I’ll shall never be like them
I’ve an ins option in my heart
Written with letters in Red
It spells LOVE
I have it, for everyone
I’ve shared with the wrong one, never again
I walked out almost insane
Today, moving forward without them
In my heart, I know …
Despite perfect score on all inspections
JACHO, NYS, EPA, Fire and all …
It will never be smart for us, as they indicated
I know, I scored onto my brain 100%
… because of their work longevity
As they stated: of 68, 48 and 30 years
With perfect attendance, they felt untouched
Nothing wrong can they do!
With that of an impeccable record of attendance
They can’t be touched, even if incompetent
As they say, whom you know
This crowd refused to accept you
I was made no look as if, no good, a fool
A rejection to erase my perfection
Perhaps, a toxic injection to discredit me
To let me know, am no good in their eyes
They are perfect, never me, I can’t competent
They score me rotten …
Like a rotten apple you throw with a mold
No matter how perfect, I or poised
They made sure, to create, was not I
They made it a 180-degree turn, it negatively
Creating in everyone’s heads
Is whom, am …
As they painted me with a black horn and thorns
Using their own colors
To taint me black with hate, I escaped
I now, know better
They all melt in the sun like butter
That’s because they all have hate
The sun didn’t line that with them
It prefers to hate never to love, don’t hate
Know. I don’t need you
I am on my own
God, with me
“If, He with me
Thus, know no one, against me!”
I will not crawl on my bed …
I will not pull over the blankets over my head
I will not pull my hair, as I once did!
I will not take a knife bleed out to death
Instead, I will cry with Him, as He cradles me
My name is Minnie
If I looked sad, If I looked confused
If looked misunderstood, please know
It was not me because I am Luka but, sad a revision, now know am Minnie, nice to know
Is there more? Yes! It is not because I am not
Jenny from the block, not because I want 2be
JLO from the Bronx, not because I wish,
I lived in a palace, not because I want 2be
… smart, I know, I am…
I despite what they thought-started
I am a survivor, survived insults, came out alive
Being burned alive …
Onto a brick wall building made of paper
It was never strong, because they placed hate
I thought it was made of steel
It was not, to my amazement
It was made of clay as my tears dripped
It was supposedly withstand fire, it did not
I was set on fire without knowing, I escaped
As they tried super hard to dishonor me
To burn me alive and never leave prints of it
They all did, in my heart, mind and rioted me
All while trying to steal my love and pink heart
They failed, as I escaped … within 30 minutes
With written scripted 6/6/25
I resigned! Retired
Now, looking back how sad
They never had no love but, hate
Why? They never knew God
All in all, they have a fruit basket full of hate
They are lacking knowledge
I packed with love,
I, thus collectively
Gathered it
Put on my helmet from God walked out safe
I ran, like a NYC marathoner that I am
Regardless, they think I am weak
Crawling thus Earth like a bug
I love microbes, a bug
It doesn’t mean am, one!
I must never look back
As I ran fast from their gates of hate and hell
No room for me there, glad am gone
… from that hell place in the Bronx
Almost losing my life
Life is too fast-precious
Is, why I chose the health profession
They should all go to confession
However, not in the Bronx with their friends
They would all be non-guilty
Thinking, they did no wrong
I am the wrong, never them
The years and clout have proven a haven
I only have heaven-earned, that’s enough
At the end, we will all be judged
You can only take love
The goods done, love, you had
Not fake friends
…. whom pretended were friends or colleagues
I thus, must re-evaluate
The experiences in my head
We’re all too real
The printed embedded
That, for certain health I must erase
I shall pin and liberate from it
Now, that are clearly in my brain cells
As I age, as your exquisite grape
I will be ripped with love
Will surround myself with blessings
That those people thought
I didn’t deserve
How can you write a wrong?
How they thought it was, I wrong and they right
I- weak and they-strong, – as a dynamite
I can never be blow to pieces
I am protected by the greatest army
Known to man that is, my God
You can be protected too … ask and follow Him
He will never leave you
He sends the greatest army Known
Know, He full of love
He pours out endless of it from mouth of rivers
Try to catch Him, before it’s too late
If lives in the skies
He takes rides onto rainbows
He lets you know, He is here
Those prism colors, is that He’s letting you know
He is here, alright
All He asks of you …
To look deep in your heart, mind and soul
Who is hurting you? Am, sure you know!
Pray for them, and forgive
Now, walk away and ask always for Him
Don’t let bad stick
Don’t ever be tricked by fools
Don’t let them in when they ring your doorbell
When they try again
To ring your dumbbell, is they dumb not you
Know! You never respond to number 666
This time you know better
You’ve realized it is them, not you
Right on time God, He entered in for you
Before, they took a precious life
I thought, I liked a dirty bum
They all made me feel like one dumb
As I was drunk, I never drink nor take drugs
Don’t get me wrong, I credit a homeless man
Whom turned my life around
We all have a purpose, even a bum
Know that, wholeheartedly …
I was tested, if I am an obedient disciple
Proven, I was! That was enough!
Being thrown to the wolves, I was spat on
This way, I won’t let anyone know
Guess what?
My heart knows
You can’t beat nor hate, why?
Because is where God lives!
Yes, He lives here. It’s where, He lives
I believe and give love
Only, those deserving it
This time, I know better
I will not be abused nor tricked by fools
By someone, I thought it was not fit
I will not bite my nails
As I once did
I will not bite my tongue occasionally
I will not fall apart nor drop with faint and paint
I will not pull my hair; I dare you dare me
I will instead wake up in pain and sweat
Instead, I will always look at the red sun
I shall appreciate and admire every rainbow
God’s splendors, that is flowers and its colors
I will give endless love to all, never those bums
I, bruised by a health institution in NYC of Bronx
Whom may have seen me weak, hated all of me
Preferring to lack me up in a mental institution
Prison, or delete me from this Earth
As they shut down my computer immediately
They didn’t know me, I survived blues and blows
My love that strong, I can break any walls
I did, thus escaped, am now free from those … idiots am out with the sea that truly sees
I can now, love myself indefinitely and complete
I will not look back …
But, forward with those who can love me
I’ve caught the train and bus to love
My home is always’ decorated with love
They with fates of hate
Love can never be replaced
They should all go to a school of love
However, Earth has none
Is up high you can claim, where God sits and rest
I tried to decorate their heart of hate
Instead, they rated me like a criminal
It was never a match with my heart
I bleed out … for much love, I had
They all formed a chain of hate, I broke it
I proved love stronger than that of hate
There’s no place, for you, I in hurts
… too many of times been tricked by you
It’s now time to depart
… you will never break my heart
He owns it
Now, try now
It will never be broken again
Why, because it’s love in here
You’ll always find
All those parts of me you broke,
Are now, left behind, will never be broken again
All the cries, pains and the drains like a sink
As you trying to make me fit onto a boat
Yes, all to sink
Know! Am, no longer weak
Am, not a worm
I am strong
Know, your wrongs
I am right, you are all weak
I can never, ever be tricked
I am not rustic metal
I am Steel, like Superman
Know, am a woman not from Kryptonite
I came from God, why not you?
Remember this, God sent for me
A rustic old train to bring me safe
He didn’t care of your $250,000 salary
That! Compared to mine, was penny’s
He sees-weights love never money you weight
In your head you belittled me
That’s ok!
He sees all critiques and negatives
The sacrifices I made for love, it’s people’s
He always knew he was honest and enough
The accidents not in my head
The traffic, tolls, insurance, gas, and abuses
Never that in just my head but reality
I volunteering my time? Oh, yes
My staff, making more money, crazy or not?
Do you call this wage discrimination?
There’s a new entrance
Where you can’t find love
You can find hate all in that place
It is in that place, that’s buried love
In the city of the Bronx … Pelham PKWY
I left some marks, institution claiming care
… with love, now I can laugh
Little was known, my heart had plenty of it
They tried to steal it, a writer with freedom I
If I ever, enter there
It would be with extreme caution
Where, I almost was burned alive
Getting out barely alive, at the perfect time
As they say, life is all about “Timing!” Agreed
Where can you find love
Never there, in the Bronx
Where, I once stepped and worked
I exited out right on time, before I died
Now, I will never look back but, forward
Where you think love can be found?
Never, ever where you find hate
Never ever, where plants of hate grow
There are tiny plants. Of it, there
Where its multiples in full hate, is this place
I rushed out … with a bruised heart
Instead of red was black that God saw
Before they pin it onto me
They all tried hard to flourish my clean art
They couldn’t find an ounce of hate on me
So, they raced out to catch me, instead
I raced out … still, in hurts not Jacobi at the eyes
As would try 2contaminate me with their hates
I gave 12 1/2 years, now my retirement here
Ahead of me will be the rainbows and the sun
My future offsprings that I can look 4ward
As my grandchildren in heaven comes in Spring
I know, will come in 2026 an angel will arrive
I know that …
Because, I always dream ahead
As reality follows me with God, ahead
He’s holding my hands
He’s cradling me
He is blessing all of me
He will put me to sleep
A new day … has arrived
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet

Our guest today is Brian D. Smith, and he is with us for the third time. Brian has long been a spiritual seeker. He started out in the Pentecostal religious tradition, and later became part of an evangelical community. After that, he became a Christian Universalist. Then later on, he studied Buddhism and various mystical traditions. As a young man, Brian says that he was pretty deeply scarred by toxic religion, which, among other things, instilled in him an intense fear of death; but further study helped him to alleviate a lot of that fear. So Brian was living a beautiful life, with his lovely wife of now more than thirty years and his two young daughters. But then in June of 2015, his younger daughter, Shayna, unexpectedly transitioned in her sleep. She was not yet 16 years old. After Shayna’s transition, Brian tells us that his spiritual quest intensified because of some extraordinary visions and messages that he was receiving from his daughter. As a result of those experiences, he immersed himself in researching the afterlife, taking a scientific as well as a spiritual and philosophical approach to it. He says that now he felt that he really needed to know, and not just believe, what was true about death and the afterlife. And he learned so much that he ended up writing a book. It’s entitled, Grief 2 Growth; Planted. Not Buried. Brian D. Smith is also now a successful podcaster and blogger, and he shares all that he has learned as a teacher and grief counselor within the wonderful organization, Helping Parents Heal. His website is grief2growth.com.

Summary: What happens when an inventor creates technology the government depends on—then loses it all when he speaks out about how it’s being used? In this episode of Newsgram, we explore the remarkable true story behind Help Yourself! A Story of FBI Corruption by Martin Kaiser. A self-taught electronics expert, Marty Kaiser developed tools used by intelligence agencies and bomb squads—including the device that helped uncover the Watergate bugs but after testifying before Congress, Kaiser says everything changed. Contracts disappeared. His business unraveled. From his early innovations to the events that helped inspire Enemy of the State, this is a firsthand account of invention, integrity, and consequences.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
What happens when an inventor creates technology the government depends on and then loses it all when he speaks out? Today we are going to dive into the book Help Yourself! A Story of FBI Corruption by Martin Kaiser, a self-taught electronics expert whose work helped uncover the Watergate bugs and whose story inspired the film Enemy of the State with Gene Hackman and Will Smith.
Marty Kaiser – I was deeply involved in the movie Enemy of the State. Jerry Bruckheimer saw an article about the, what the heck was it? Oh, the NSA, and how the NSA functioned. And he said, we’ve got to do a movie about this. We’ve got to connect it to the rest of us in society. So, I sold a debugging kit to, I can’t remember Andy’s last name, at Disney Productions. The two of them got together, and they said, we tie the Navy story to the Marty Kaiser story, and we’ll make a movie. And since I was both the technical guru and the victim, they made Gene Hackman, the technical guru, and Will Smith, the victim. And you basically put those two together, and then you get me.
The film is a fictional thriller, but it raises very real concerns about unchecked government power and the abuse of surveillance technology; concerns that eventually led Marty to testify before Congress
Marty Kaiser – I was contacted by the House Select Committee on Intelligence who wanted to know about my sales of bugging equipment to various agencies. They sent two investigators to my shop, Tim Olifsen and Rick Vermeer, and they asked if they could see my sales of bugging equipment. So, I pulled open a file drawer, and there they all were.
Why was he producing and selling bugging equipment in the first place? Why did Congress want a look at his files? And how did the FBI get involved? It all started with a walk—and a wrong turn.
Let’s rewind to the early 1970s in the Broadway East neighborhood of Baltimore. Standing outside the old American Brewery building, now a national landmark is a young Marty Kaiser who just decided to take a walk.
Marty Kaiser – And when I left American Brewery, I made a left turn instead of a right turn, and I found in front of Fort Holabird, Maryland, the Center for Army Intelligence. So, I figured there’s got to have something broken in there, and drove around until I found the door that said supply, knocked on it, and met a Captain Domes And sure enough, they had tape recorders, variety detectors, all kinds of equipment that needed to be repaired. And I started at the top of the shelf and worked my way all the way down to the bottom and fixed everything they had.
That’s what Marty does—he fixes things. He has a natural talent for tinkering with technology and solving problems.
Marty Kaiser – I guess the best point is to start with my job at RCA Laboratories in Princeton, and that led me eventually to Barbados, West Indies, where I developed what is known as the over-horizon radar. Normal radar can only see to the horizon, and this can see all the way around the world. They can see the back of your head, actually. And it’s still in use today, primarily in anti-drug operations.
I find all of this so fascinating! A savvy drug trafficker might try to fly under the radar or use other tricks to avoid detection, but Marty’s technology could literally bounce signals off the ionosphere to detect movement and objects across oceans, through jungles, and far beyond the horizon. As he put it, it could even see the back of your head.
As you can imagine, tech like that has a wide range of applications—and it makes Marty a pretty fascinating guy. Eventually, his passion for solving problems led him to Armco Steel, where he was brought in to repair a broken Enerscope.
Marty Kaiser – Which is a device that can actually look through a steel ingot and see if there are any cracks or air bubbles in it. I fixed it and he was very happy. It resulted in a bunch of other jobs that came out of that.
And then of course there was the broken equipment in the storage locker of the Center for Army Intelligence
Marty Kaiser – But one thing I noticed is that for intelligence purposes, they were using commercially available equipment rather than equipment specifically designed for the job they were trying to do. So, I offered to make an audio amplifier for them, and they accepted so, from that point, I started manufacturing other products as I listened to the people in the intelligence community to see what they were trying to do and I followed that shortly with the first handheld bug detector. And I followed that with a telephone analyzer that measures all parameters on the telephone line to see if it’s been wiretapped or bugged surreptitiously. And that was what found the Watergate bugs. That was a big plus.
The audio amplifier he mentioned was model 1059 and it would eventually be used by the bomb disposal squad and it led to a robust business with many customers but then the Omnibus Crime Bill surfaced and things took a dramatic change.
Marty Kaiser – In 1968, the Omnibus Crime Bill was passed around 1968, and that made it illegal to manufacture, assemble, possess any device or component thereof which was capable of illegal interception of oral communication. So, when the FBI started buying bugging equipment from me, I had a problem with that. I told the FBI that I really couldn’t accept orders from the FBI, and they said, well, we use a phony front called U.S. Recording Company. I thought, well, that sounds good, but they are not a government agency. So, I told the FBI, I will build the U.S. Recording Company and deliver the equipment to you, which is what I did.
Built into the Omnibus Crime Bill was an automatic five-year review. Eventually, the House Select Committee on Intelligence came knocking and asking about his sales, including those to the mysterious U.S. Recording Company.
Marty Kaiser – They said, what’s this? I said, that’s the FBI. They said, oh? So, the next thing I know, before the House Select Committee on Intelligence, telling the story that one time at the FBI headquarters, I had seen one of my invoices that had been marked up 150 percent. And I thought, well, that’s strange. I just said that’s their business, and let them do what they want to do. But that was a big no-no. That started a disaster that has lasted now pretty much until today, from 1975. Once I made my testimony before the House Select Committee on Intelligence, I lost all of my intelligence agency customers overnight. I was doing a half-million-dollar a year with the intelligence agency people. After that fateful day, I did zero from then to today. They just cut me off entirely.
You’ve heard the expression, “You can’t fight City Hall” so being as resourceful as he was he pivoted again to bomb disposal, developing hundreds of life-saving products.
Eventually, that too was shut down. All of it is documented in his book Help Yourself. A fascinating read.
Marty Kaiser – It’s hard to look back and think about all this, but the amazing thing is I’ve never had a course in electronics in my life. And when I conceived these products, I just knew how to do it. I don’t know how I did it, but when an audio amplifier was needed, I designed it, developed it, manufactured it, and that was it. And it’s just a certain amount of joy that comes out of that. So, anyhow, it was fun. But despite the terror and the tragedies, it really was a lot of fun.
Looking back on the terror and the tragedy in your life can be a powerful motivation for writing a book—and Help Yourself! is Marty’s story, told by him, from his perspective and from the trenches of real experience.
If you enjoyed Enemy of the State or Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, you’ll definitely want to check out Help Yourself! A Story of FBI Corruption by Martin Kaiser. You can find it wherever you like to buy books, or visit his website at MartyKaiser.com.
That’s going to wrap it up for this edition of Newsgram. As always, Thanks for listening!

Summary: Eloise Bartlett, whose debut book, It Happened in July, is drawn from the heartbreaking and heroic events of her own life. What follows is a raw and honest journey through the emotional wreckage of attempted suicide, the quiet storm of cancer, and the painful unraveling of a marriage marked by domestic abuse. Don’t miss this powerful episode. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there’s a light worth fighting for.
Transcript: Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Eloise Bartlett’s lifelong dream of writing a book has finally come true though its inspiration came from a series of tragedies she never wished for. Brace yourself because today we are going to delve into some highly sensitive areas including Eloise Bartlett’s challenges in the face of suicide, cancer, and domestic violence.
Eloise Bartlett – Can you imagine being at work receiving a phone call from your daughter saying there’s no power in the house because she had tried to kill herself?
Eloise Bartlett – On the 21st of July 2006, my eldest daughter stood in a bathtub and dropped a switched-on bar heater into the water.
The worst phone call I could possibly imagine. Of course grateful that the circuits blew but then one year later, tragedy struck again.
Eloise Bartlett – A year later, in July 2007, I was diagnosed with cancer
Dealing with bad news is never easy but we all have an inner strength that we can tap into to deal with these kinds of personal challenges and fears. Despite the diagnosis Eloise was not yet pushed to the breaking point but she was also trying to deal with all of this and her abusive husband so…something had to give.
Eloise Bartlett – and then the following year, also in July 2008, I left my mentally abusive husband. I decided that I’d had enough and I needed to stand up for myself and leave him.
A bold decision that resulted in him stalking her and threatening her life and if you are following the timeline here you’ll see that everything seems to happen to Eloise in the Month of July.
Eloise Bartlett – Yes, that’s right. In fact, it’s called It Happened in July because a friend of mine, I was telling her about my book I was writing. It had a different title at that time and she said to me, wow, funny how everything happened in July. That’s when I decided to change the title.
It Happened in July is a fictional story but it is based on the real life events in her life. In fact Eloise Bartlett is a pen name but her stories are all true.
Eloise Bartlett – Yes, basically, the book is about my life. It’s a pretty honest account of what happened. I was advised to change all the names and that sort of thing because of possible liable things, but it’s a pretty true account of what was happening at the time.
So the main characters are named Wendy and Dave but the decision for Wendy to leave her mentally abusive husband in July 2008 was very real.
Eloise Bartlett – Very early in my separation, it became obvious that I would need to get a restraining order. So, I started keeping a notebook to record conversations and events as they happened to report to the police. I had a good body of evidence. I also recorded how I felt at the time and everything that happened. The notebook actually helped me to start writing my book.
And so “It happened in July “ was born, If you need a book to share at a book-club that is thought provoking and inspires conversation, then this just may be it. It’s based on real-life stories about someone facing tough challenges and coming out stronger on the other side.
Eloise Bartlett – It takes a lot of courage to leave an abusive relationship. I hope to inspire women in a similar situation to be able to reclaim their lives and take charge of them. To be in control, not control.
Domestic violence has to end. And to remember, the most important thing, where do you want to be in five years?
The book talks a great deal about her relationship and there’s a good reason for that. She wants women in a similar situation to understand that, while it may not feel like it, you do have options and you can control your own destiny and be happy. In the case of domestic violence it starts with a restraining order and I know the first response is going to be good, he’s not going to abide by one of those and that’s true but you have to start somewhere and having the law on your side is a great first step.
Eloise Bartlett – If you’re thinking of getting a domestic violence restraining order, you need to keep a record of what’s happening, including dates, times and places. The police need these to take them to court. The domestic restraining order can be issued and then it can be taken to court a bit later and granted by the judge and then that gives the woman, hopefully, a couple of years of safety for the husband to cool down and not be so angry. When I was reporting one of the breaches of the restraining order at a local police station, a woman came in to report that her ex-husband had actually broken into her unit and stolen the computer that she kept her notes on. So it’s pretty important that you’re able to access your information easily and you’ve got to keep it safe.
And I can’t tell you how many authors created their first book from journals they kept on their nightstand., just sayin. Eloise has since moved and met her new husband who she loves very much. It’s not giving too much away here to say there can be a happy ending.
Eloise Bartlett – I have the freedom to walk the streets without looking over my shoulder. I don’t feel the need to barricade myself in the house…I can walk down the street and take my dog for a walk and not be worried that someone is following me. I can go down the beach and have fun there. I can go down the shops too and just go shopping and not worry if anyone’s following me or likely to come up to me at any moment to start intimidating me.
You can hear it in her voice—Eloise lives in Australia now, surrounded by sunshine and beautiful beaches. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible. I’m sure it took her many years to stop dreading the month of July, but eventually, the fear passed.
I want to leave you with this: If you or someone you know is facing domestic violence, struggling with thoughts of suicide, or going through a serious health challenge—you are not alone. And you are stronger than you think.
Eloise reclaimed her life, her safety, and her joy. And through her book, It Happened in July, she’s now helping others do the same. It’s available now online wherever you like to buy books or you can visit her website https://www.ithappenedinjuly.com/.

Our special guest today is everyone’s favorite. He was our first guest, back in the summer of 2013, and he has been with us faithfully, four or five times each year, ever since. Dr. R. Craig Hogan is probably the world’s leading expert on death and the afterlife. He teaches and keynotes all over the world, he puts out a popular monthly newsletter, he heads the Seek Reality Online website at seekreality.com, which is the world’s biggest and most important afterlife-related website, he has written some very important books, and he also does a regular video educational series. Craig Hogan is very big indeed in the afterlife field! And it was Craig who first urged Roberta Grimes to write The Fun of Dying, fifteen years ago now. And then all the Fun books that followed that first one. Very appropriately, he gives us something very old and formative and very exciting today in the field of afterlife communications. For Craig’s 49th Seek Reality interview, he talks with us about, and he shares some of the work of the classic direct-voice medium, Leslie Flint.

Congratulations! If you have been trying out the Liturgy of the Hours, you now have 7 times during the day where you can pause briefly, reset if you need to, and take a few moments to practice your spirituality throughout the day. Going forward, the Crone & Sage will be discussing pieces of the Liturgy that you can use for Occasions in your life that don’t have a specific time of day attached to them. However, in this episode we are offering a prayer that fits both types, specific and occasional, so it’s kind of a bridge between the two. It’s a prayer for when you awaken in the Middle of the Night and can’t easily get back to sleep. It focus on the fact that the world around you is fine, that you don’t have to lie there worrying about tomorrow, and that you can and deserve to return to your rest. Enjoy! And the Crone & Sage both hope you don’t have to use this prayer very often.
“Kimchi is more than just a trendy food item. Kimchi is a Korean person’s identity. It’s our pride and it’s a staple of our cuisine because it’s the only food that got Koreans through the harsh winter months, got us through the wars, the Japanese occupation and the Korean War.” Sarah Ahn
On this Special Edition of Kitchen Chat: A Taste of Luxury, History, and Hospitality, join your host, Margaret McSweeney, as she welcomes the celebrated cookbook author, Sarah Ahn of @ahnestkitchen on Instagram. Sarah and her mother Nam Soon Ahn co-wrote a heartfelt and acclaimed cookbook,Umma: A Korean Mom’s Kitchen Wisdom and 100 Family Recipes. In Umma, Sarah and her “umma” (mother) memorialize and share a rich exploration of Korean culinary heritage, family traditions that celebrate Korean culinary culture and hospitality, as well as the historical perspective of one of the world’s oldest culinary traditions.
Here is our video chat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QR1rXdK5uUJoin Margaret as she invites Chehn to share the heart of Umma, uncovering its significant history, treasured family narratives, and the traditions of hospitality woven throughout the book. Together, they will explore the art of preserving culinary traditions and the luxuriousness of comfort found within the simple, authentic flavors of her own Korean mother’s kitchen. Prepare to be immersed in a conversation that promises a true taste of history, served with the warmth and generosity of Korean hospitality. A true taste of luxury is sharing a meal with family and friends and celebrating the culinary traditions of loved ones.

This dish also offers several health benefits that include probiotics. Kimchi grilled cheese is a nod to the past and a taste of the present. Sarah shares this recipe in her book. She says it was surprisingly one of the most difficult recipes to develop but one of the easiest recipes to prepare. The secret is to use munster cheese, sourdough bread and re-seasoning the kimchi before serving. Many thanks to Sarah Ahn and her team who graciously shared the recipe for Kimchi Grilled Cheese from the new cookbook, Umma:

Thanksgiving has always meant a trip to Costco with Umma to purchase their premade holiday foods. Of these, one staple we never skip is their macaroni and cheese. It’s creamy, cheesy, and comforting—a perfect complement to our annual Thanksgiving meal. Despite our love for this dish, my family never quite manages to finish it all on Thanksgiving Day. Of course, as with many other leftovers, Umma has found a way to bring the macaroni and cheese back to life after the holiday by pairing it with kimchi. The spicy kick of the kimchi elevates the creamy richness of the mac and cheese to a whole new level. It’s now a ritual in our household to enjoy them together after every Thanksgiving—a fusion of comfort food and Korean flavors that we cannot get enough of. Inspired by this family tradition and its delicious blend of traditional American and Korean foods, Umma and I endeavored to create a kimchi grilled cheese sandwich that celebrates this pairing. Our recipe brings together the rich and gooey goodness of melted Muenster cheese with the spicy, tangy flavors of kimchi, sandwiching them between buttery griddled sourdough bread slices. For even more depth, we include a layer of chopped green onion, along with a blend of seasonings.
Umma’s Kitchen Wisdom
A sturdy bread, such as sourdough, is ideal here to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy. I use well-fermented Mat Kimchi (Cut Napa Cabbage Kimchi) to make this dish. If you wish to use store-bought kimchi instead, look for a well-fermented kimchi in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Labels will not always specify “fresh” or “wellfermented,” so here are some clues to help figure it out: The jar should contain wiltedlooking vegetables with muted, darkened color, surrounded by a thin juice. The texture will appear softer than fresh kimchi, and when you taste it, there will be a pronounced tangy sourness that comes from the longer fermentation. When measuring out the kimchi, simply pick it up with tongs with the juices intact.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons salted butter, divided
½ cup (100 grams) well-fermented cabbage kimchi, chopped fine
2 teaspoons sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
½ teaspoon fish sauce
½ teaspoon gochugaru
¼ teaspoon Dasida beef stock powder
2 (½ ‑inch-thick) slices sourdough bread
3 slices (61 grams) Muenster cheese, halved
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 green onions, chopped fine
Directions
1. Melt ½ tablespoon butter in a 12‑inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kimchi and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and it begins to sizzle. Stir in the sugar, fish sauce, gochugaru, and Dasida powder and cook until the liquid has just evaporated, about 1 minute. (Don’t let the kimchi dry out.) Transfer the seasoned kimchi to a small plate and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
2. Melt half of the remaining butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread slices and swirl them around the skillet to coat them in butter on the first side; transfer the bread to a separate plate. Repeat melting the remaining butter and coating the second sides of the bread slices. Continue to toast the bread on the second sides until just golden brown and crisp, about 1 minute.
3. Reduce the heat to low and flip the bread slices. Arrange the cheese evenly on top of the bread slices, then sprinkle with the garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Sprinkle 1 slice of the bread with the onions, then neatly arrange the seasoned kimchi on top. Place the second slice of bread over the kimchi, cheese side down. Using a spatula, gently press down on the sandwich to help seal it. Cover and cook until the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes, flipping the sandwich halfway through cooking. Transfer the sandwich to a wire rack and sprinkle with sugar on both sides to taste. Garnish the sandwich with any green onions that fell out into the skillet. Slice and serve.

This outstanding award-winning book sheds light on the all-embracing threads of humanity that commonly unite us all, whether we envisage that in our daily lives or not. The story is beautifully woven together by four striking and impressive characters whose backgrounds are very much at odds with each other yet have a common thread when it comes to humanity and mankind. Cardinal LaMacchia (Otto) has his own strong views on how the Catholic church should interact with society. Rabbi Rahabi (Ezekiel- alias Eli in the book) comes from a very strong Jewish background, but his journey from personal greed to impassion for those around him especially young people, is striking. Dr Herzog (Linda) is a highly educated woman whose approach to the scriptures of the bible and how those teachings should be illuminated and presented to the public tangibly suggests her approach to humanity is more on the agnostic side. Iman Martin, his upbringing is in stark contrast to the others; the foster care system that he endured as a child really shaped his viewpoints as to how humans should face themselves and tackle social issues. These are the four dominant protagonists that carry this story forward in its entirety. As you can see, they come from different backgrounds, beliefs but they share a common fundamental connection around humanity and that of a flat tire. What these four set out to achieve here is to grapple with their personal challenges and spiritual trials and come up with a purposeful mission to draft a Redeclaration of Independence for the United States so to ensure equality is key to the way forward for all.
The book has other characters that support this transformative journey around equality and humanity, even a waitress (Camila) plays a significant role.
The first part of the book gives you the backdrop to the big four players, the second part you start to see how they come together, and the third part well, read the book and find out for yourself!

Join us as we explore the first installment of Dan Dan the Ambulance Man, a heartwarming children’s book by Paul Eaton, a former paramedic. This delightful story introduces young readers to Dan Dan, a calm, capable hero who shows up when it matters most. Dan Dan and his team—including Lucy Bandage—teach kids what paramedics do and remind us all that help is always on the way. Get ready because Dan Dan the Ambulance Man is about to meet Percy Bunn the Baker…
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today I thought it would be fun to jump right into a new character that I hope you’ll enjoy meeting. His name is Dan Dan the Ambulance Man and he is the creation of children’s book author Dan Eaton.
He is always ready to assist those in need, whether it’s at a football match, a theme park, or during everyday situations. Dan Dan is a role model for children because he teaches them the importance of emergency services in a fun and reassuring way
Paul – The reason why I wanted to do it this way is because not many people know, particularly young children and also parents as well, they don’t know what paramedics do. They treat whatever they find and then they take you off to hospital.
That simple explanation? Perfect for young children. Paul should know—he served as a healthcare professional in the West Midlands, England, with extensive experience in emergency services.
Paul – What I wanted to bring with the books is that paramedics and doctors aren’t nasty people, but they’re there to help. In the four years that I was a paramedic, I dealt with loads of children. When a stranger turns up in a big ambulance, with blue lights going, and certain sirens, and then these paramedics walking with all their equipment, that children, particularly young children, get really scared, because they don’t know what’s happening. They don’t know what the paramedics are going to do. And not only that, I wanted to bring that point home for the parents as well, because when I’ve dealt with children in the home, the parents, particularly if it’s a serious case, the parents get really scared as well.
Drawing from his background in emergency care, Paul Eaton didn’t just create Dan Dan the Ambulance Man—he built an entire series of children’s books that offer real insight into the world of emergency responders. These stories shed light on the daily responsibilities of paramedics, a role he once cherished until life took an unexpected turn.
Paul – I sustained a severe head injury. And I couldn’t drive. I couldn’t drive the vehicle anymore. And because when you’re a paramedic in England, I don’t know whether it’s the same in America, but when you’re a paramedic in England, even though you’re with a crew partner, you take it in turns to drive. So they said, there’s no way that we can, you know, my station officer, station manager turned around and said, I’m sorry, Paul, but there’s no way that we can sanction you driving anymore. Just in case you end up blacking out because of a head injury.
So I took early, I took retirement on medical grounds. And then I went back to my old career, which was a first aid instructor. And then while I was doing my own business, I ran my own business doing first aid instruction.
And I was teaching members of the public, people at the workplace first aid, defibrillator, the automatic defibrillator, health and safety, handling and lifting, you name it, I did it.
And so his new series of books is just another way for Paul to give back to his community and continue to help people in new ways. In the first book is Meet Percy Bunn The Baker but then in book two we meet Lucy Bandage another first aider that joins Dan Dan to help out at a public event.
Paul – The third one is Dan, Dan, The Ambulance Man Goes to the Football Match. And the fourth one is Dan, Dan, The Ambulance Man Goes to the Theme Park.
In that one everything seems to be going smoothly until Timothy Tornado and George Gander encounter some trouble. Dan Dan’s quick response in an unexpected situation saves the day.
No matter what the situation, Dan Dan is a calm, capable presence in times of crisis and for young children, especially those who might be afraid of emergencies or medical situations. The pictures and narrative are designed to help normalize the presence of emergency personnel and show that there are good people out there ready to help when needed.
Let’s take a look at the first book, Dan Dan the Ambulance Man Meets Percy Bunn the Baker. It tells the story of a bakery fire where Dan Dan arrives to help Percy, who has. inhaled too much smoke.
Paul – There’s a picture in the first book of the bakery on fire and the firemen are there pulling the fire out. And the firemen say your casualties over there pointing to someone on the floor. So Dan Dan the Ambulance Man goes over and puts an oxygen mask on the face of Percy Bunn the baker because he’s having trouble breathing, because of breathing in a lot of smoke. And it says in the book, this will help him to breathe. It’s oxygen. And then he said that he examined the rest of his body while he’s in the ambulance. And when he got to his tummy Percy Bunn winced so he said, I’m just going to put a burn dressing on that and then we’ll get you off to hospital. And then the next scene is where they arrive at hospital and Dan Dan the Ambulance Man’s wheeling the casualty in and there’s a drawing of the doctor as well.
The visual storytelling helps children understand medical procedures in a non-threatening, empowering way. Dan Dan is a bridge—connecting children to emergency personnel with kindness and courage, he’s an ordinary person doing extraordinary things.
Paul – I said, we’re not nasty people. We’re not like to cause harm. We’re there to help and get them to the hospital if they need to go to the hospital. Also, maybe, maybe if it inspires a young child now and when they leave school to be a paramedic or a doctor or a nurse, then those are the points that I wanted to bring across.
Whether it’s a bump, a burn, or just a scary moment, Dan Dan the Ambulance Man shows kids that there are good people out there—ready to help when it matters most.
All of Paul Eaton’s books are now available online.
Stay safe out there and remember—help is always on the way. Thanks for listening to this edition of Newsgram from webtalkradio.com.

Only a few anecdotes about the author’s grandparents remained after their deaths more than half a century ago. Research of nearly a decade led her to some startling information and the amazing story of the couple’s lives. The author also discovered her grandfather’s remarkable place in history and that neither Reg or Edwina were ordinary people.
From an early age, Edwina had a decidedly European upbringing, highlighted by a convent education and life in several foreign cities. She and her sisters also enjoyed the upper-crust life of Mrs. Astor’s New York Society and the “four hundred.” By contrast, the early life of her husband, Reg, was characterized by being the son of a Civil War veteran turned preacher with eight children in a small mid-western town.
Fortune smiled on Reg at the age of sixteen, however, when he became the youngest man to enter and graduate from the United States Naval Academy. His succeeding service in the US Navy brought him into contact with a prominent American inventor. A short time later, he joined the gentleman’s newly formed company as the second of just three employees.
In a few short years, his intelligence and drive propelled both him and the company into the world’s undisputed leader in the invention and manufacture of navigation instruments, virtually ending the age of the compass. The company’s weapons guidance systems were also an extreme advantage during wartime, and their aircraft instruments made flight possible and greatly facilitated the possible uses of airplanes, ships, submarines and eventually spacecraft. The products invented and developed by this company are still vital to the performance of all these vehicles.
1946 is a story about these two people. But it also chronicles the rapid transformation of a very small company into the ninth largest in America. Along the way, the early history of flight and advances in associated technology is tracked during the first half of the twentieth century. The continual development of the weaponry of war, through two world wars, and the ever increasing devastation these advances caused to humanity is also chronicled. The book also reveals the devastating and highly unusual events that eventually led to the untimely destruction of a family, one that seemed to have had it all.
It is easy to imagine that the combination of the events portrayed in 1946 is the result of the writer’s clever imagination; they are not. This book is a work of narrative nonfiction.
It is also a tribute to two extraordinary people, recognition of their remarkable success and homage to their tragic suffering.

The moving waters

Women and man putting away their winter coats
As tiny frogs take a peek at the coming Spring
You start to feel a buzz of bees
… a feel nice breeze on your face and skin
You begin to anxious
to see Spring come to
The ponds and the sea anxious to see
… as brings an abundance creatures
As springs new life …
A silhouette in the making
Of His creations …
I could see the horizon
The sun waking up …
The climate changing for the better
The weather changing from colder to warmth
The buzzing of bees your ears, you hear

You can’t wait… to taste honey
… and the friendliest flowers to your view eyes
Yes, the friendliest flowers to your eyes
As you begin to look all around …
You hear, the most perfect sounds
All around …
It is God …
All around with His perfect sound
The sun coming earlier for visits
The nights wait, now more for us
Days seem longer … We can do more, it’s God
Letting us know, He cares and is everywhere
Here, there, somewhere and everywhere
… You thought
He was never there
He is but, in meniscal
Like a lens, He bends, never dense
He can be concave or in a cave not concrete
He is soft and unique
He is silkier
Yes, He is silk
… and warmth
… and brings, the sun
He wants all to see and feel Him …
Are the reasons
He brings Spring and a fireball
… as a Son
He wants children to come out play with a ball …volleyball, basketball, softball, and so it goes
The naked ground replaced by grass …
As you now begin to relax sitting onto the grass
There’s the coming of trees’ buds
But, you thought was not …
You look again …. You see snowdrop
of colors of white all around
… different colors and flowers
You noticed, coming earlier
You begin to ask, why?
Is climate change …
Changing our season, earlier?
Is this a good or bad change?
As you begin flowers and tree buds earlier
Every year, it’ll all come …
Every year comes …
The humming, the humming of birds
A spectacular view as children chew gum
They feeling dumb with gummy tongues
With candy more candies and cotton candy
… bread crumbs feeling dandy
With long ponytails, they riding a pony
Some with a bun feeling not so dumb but, fun
None understood their parents
As they try to run errands … thus, done
The moon comes all at once, next the sun
None can compliant, if they’ve a son to play
At the end, you need a friend to lend a laugh
To fend off the bugs under the rugs …
You can’t crack a joke, you too serious
Women with hats comes
Soon will be Easter
To enjoy the perfect sun
You look at the beaming heat …. Women dressed Uniquely … as different flowers comes, matched
It is a splendor of God’s display
… As children play
… waited long enough, was tough days ahead
The snow, no melted away with the sun
The winter cold put away … til next year
All the summer fun will come, now
All the catholic nuns in church covered up
In the beach with bikini, perhaps not
It’ll be tourist and the young having fun
Done nicely hair bun, not looking dumb
But nicely dressed to impress under a dress
With feelings of hunger, they hang out
In the beach, peaches on their hands
… stretching out to the skies
… playing with endless rubber bands
… they in the sand, some stand up
It is not an insult the growth of pregnant woman
There’s the increase of blood flows … that glows
As you eat more and feels less full
It’s that you eating for two or more?
It is a new life inside
… Soon, will come a life
… like flowers in the spring
What the connection pregnancy with flower’s?
With both arrivals …
comes a beauty to view
Life…
Flowers to admire during a pregnancy: pink roses, peony, Star of Bethlehem, pink tulips
… blue violets, pink carnations
… blue violets, etc.
Are beautiful to view …
Why women are flowers?
That because, women give birth to man
… this way, all can enjoy Spring that came
March 21, 2025
A woman gives birth, 9 months after cooking
In her womb, ready to give birth!
She now divides into the future
… a life arrived in the Spring
Just as I did, April 1 of a year
Just know, he will soon be, 34
This is all
I want you to know
Is it a lot?
… I think, so!
This you should, yea
This you should all know!
Next time, you witness magnolia bud
With its red colors or not
It’s is God, from above
He is emerging from a long nap
Weather, you think it or not
It is He, alright …
Let’s sit back
For Spring to arrive
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet
Welcome to the edition of Newsgram!
What does it really mean to live wisely? Is it about making smart decisions, or is it something deeper? Today, we’ll explore how Scott Curtis Mieschen sees it—through faith, wisdom, and the guidance of God. Scott is an interesting man who wears many hats including teacher, consultant, Minister and author. He just wrote a book titled Live Wise. A title that I found intriguing because the way I interpret those words, to “Live Wise” means to think first, to keep an open mind and to live your life guided by wisdom, intentionality, and alignment with your values and hopefully those values lead you to fulfillment, peace, and purpose. In the context of Scott’s book, the concept of Living Wise, is closely tied to living in accordance with God’s wisdom and the teachings of Christianity.Here he is to explain all that for himself.
Scott Curtis Mieschen – The joy of a life well lived is part of what I mean by live wise. And God calls us to live wise. He invites us to live wise. So the book is about how God instructed me and I’ve always enjoyed helping people. So this book is a product of my liking to help people. I always was like when I was employed, I always had the summer interns, even if they were assigned to another manager.
Eventually they migrated over to me because I really enjoyed that process of taking a young person and helping them. So this idea is my faith in Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior, and my love for caring, caring for people.
The complete title of the book is Live Wise: A Guidebook to Facing Life’s Complexities with the Wisdom and Love of God and it was born out of a very stressful situation. It started with Scott being a single parent of three.
Scott Curtis Mieschen – I was working at a very competitive organization. The Federal Reserve, and I was an internal audit manager. So one of the challenges is you have to be right. So there’s a lot of pressure to come to the right conclusion. You’re asked a question, is this working right or not? And you have to set up to do all this testing. So under those conditions, my Christian faith matured. Stress in life will either make you better or bitter. But I’m a very strong believer, and I would not be sitting here without the help of God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, and God the Father. So this was what I developed to live wise in my life under the most stressful conditions.
I love how he puts that: stress can make you bitter or better—what a great quote! And I would add that it can do both. So let’s get into the core of this book. It is designed to be a guide and there is quite a bit of information here so to help lead you through these sometimes complex ideas, Scott has included a glossary at the front of the book and in it he defines all the different terms as well as acronyms like FSN—Faith Support Network, and GARP—Generally Accepted Reasoning Principles. That way, we’re all on the same page as we dive into the concepts.
Scott Curtis Mieschen – One of the things I’ve learned in life is that if you and I are to communicate well, then we need to know what we mean by right, or we need to know what if you want a word that is highly malleable, fair. What’s fair? OK, if you got 50 people in the room, you’re going to have 75 definitions of fair. OK, so to try and help people with the idea, just the idea, I put the acronyms and glossary in the front.
The heart of Live Wise lies is Scott’s belief that faith can help us tackle life’s messiness with grace and purpose
Scott Curtis Mieschen – Just skim it, get a feel for it. And then the first part of the book is what is called, I term, the salvation journey. And then the sanctification journey and the glorification journey. And those are divisions of someone who comes to faith in Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior. It’s called salvation. And that’s a point in time event. I don’t know the specific day. I know the period of time when I came to faith. Some people actually know that you’ll meet a lot of people who actually know that day, like C.S. Lewis, the great Christian apologist. He knows the exact day and location.
I put together some of the key takeaways for you and those include to first, Stop, Think, Believe and then Live Wise: Scott’s central message is to encourage you to take a moment and reflect on faith and the role it plays in making wise decisions.
He talks about Faith as a Lifelong Journey: Live Wise is designed to guide readers through the process of faith, helping them face life’s messiness with wisdom grounded in Christian beliefs.
And then there is Trust and Commitment to Growth: Your Personal growth and gaining a deeper understanding of God’s love is an ongoing process. In fact he likens it to running a marathon.
Scott Curtis Mieschen – Marathons are inherently difficult. Life is inherently difficult. But if you prepare, it’s actually both a challenge and a celebration. And you learn to enjoy the process of the run, even when it gets challenging. And you run your own race. You’re not trying to run the other guy, our girls race, you know, ladies race. You run your race. And that’s called pace. You run at your pace. And if you have to walk some walk, you know, but and that’s, that’s the same, the sanctification part of the journey. Once you come to faith, you have to realize that the world does not like Christian values. And so you’re going to run into some difficulties.
Yes the world is full of discrimination of all sorts. I like to think we are living in a more enlightened age. I mean there has been some progress when it comes to promoting inclusion, understanding, and respect for diverse cultures, religions, genders, and identities. But discrimination, intolerance, and polarization still persist. To find the light through it all Scott has put this guidebook together, He says his faith was crucial in navigating his life’s challenges and it inspired him to write this guide for others to help them on their journey. Remember those takeaways I mentioned earlier?
Scott Curtis Mieschen – Stop. Think. Believe. Live wise. Okay. And so the first thing I would say is in this flood of media. You can become numb. You can become overwhelmed by it. And so you just one of the ways we cope when we get overwhelmed is we tune out. You start just limiting what you’re paying attention to. And so what I’m asking, would it challenge or encourage or challenge? Even I use that word in a friendly way, just to stop and give God a chance. And with it with an attitude of let me think about it, approach God with not a skepticism. Just to seek understanding. So that’s the first step. And when you understand something, it doesn’t necessarily mean you agree with it.
So he says keep an open mind, give God a chance, read the Gospel of John and then pray.
Scott Curtis Mieschen – First to stop, then go with just a discovery, an attitude of discovery, read the Gospel of John in the message and then pray. Prayer is just talking to God. That’s what prayer is in its most fundamental way. And you’re praying, you’re talking to the person that God is both God that created you and loves you more than anyone. So God loves you the best, but you have to give God the opportunity to love you
He also says to get the most out of your time spent reading and praying to be sure and journal about it, write down all the things you feel and don’t hold back. If you have a dispute with God, write that down too. It’s important to be honest about how you feel.
Scott Curtis Mieschen – And then write that down here, and then go back, though, after you’ve prayed about it, and write what additional insights God will bring to your mind. And if you let him, he will.
And if you are so inclined, let us know how it all works out.
And that brings us to the end of today’s episode of Newsgram. We’ve learned a lot from Scott today about what it means to ‘Live Wise’—facing life’s complexities with the wisdom and love of God. What does living wise mean to you? Take time to reflect on your faith—whatever it may be—and see how it guides your decisions.
If you want to explore more of Scott’s insights, pick up his book, Live Wise: A Guidebook to Facing Life’s Complexities with the Wisdom and Love of God. It’s available now,
Scott Curtis Mieschen – You can go to Scott Mieschen dot com. And that’s my author website.
And in case you are wondering how to spell that…
Scott Curtis Mieschen – It’s German by heritage. And so it’s M as in Michael, E, I, S, C, H, E, N. And it’s just pronounced like saying my shin, like on your leg. But you just say it quickly, my shin.
Until next time, remember: stop, think, believe, and live wise. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from webtalkradio.com.

In this episode of Releasing Limiting Beliefs with Brad Chandler, we sit down with Brad to discuss his powerful journey from unresolved trauma to self-love and freedom. While helping his son overcome extreme anxiety, Brad discovered that his own unresolved childhood trauma had been ruling his life, creating a set of limiting beliefs that told him he wasn’t worthy. These untruths cost him two marriages, $9M in business mistakes, and led to destructive habits like alcohol and marijuana use. His struggle also manifested in his children’s anxiety and behavioral challenges.
Through transformative exercises, meditation, and neural reprogramming, Brad was able to release these limiting beliefs, find self-love and self-compassion, and be reborn—literally and figuratively—into a life of true freedom. He has since created a proven process to help others do the same, transforming lives from hurt and fragile to joyful, confident, and purposeful.
In this conversation, we delve into his journey of healing, how releasing limiting beliefs can transform our lives, and how the process of fixing relationships begins with looking in the mirror. Brad also shares his formula for removing unwanted beliefs, starting with the power of being present.
Tune in to learn:
- How unresolved trauma and limiting beliefs can control your life without you knowing.
- How to transform from hurt, wounded, and fragile to joyful, confident, and purposeful.
- Why fixing relationships begins with self-reflection and understanding your limiting beliefs.
- The formula for removing limiting beliefs and achieving freedom, starting with being present.

Recently, I have been working with several banks across the US. In Step 2 of my sales process, I teach how to authentically and organically build rapport with clients and prospects and at networking events. I created a template and am working on another AI tool (more to come on that in the future) that I share with the people in the class to create a dynamic Value Statement to use in various venues and situations.
At the top of the worksheet, I ask everyone to write some fun facts about themselves and then fun facts about their organization. Most people find this exercise challenging to share fun facts about themselves and ultimately create a VS that is predominately about the organization because we are taught how to play small and how not to brag or appear arrogant.
The reality is that a strong Value Statement should reflect the cool and unique things about you. People do business with people they know, like, and trust, yet we give that power by bragging about our organization.

I have learned that no one escapes tragedy or challenges in life. There is no such thing as a perfect life or situation. That’s life, filled with ups and downs!
Getting up, dusting off, and moving forward is the only control or approach we need to grow, learn, and, yes, even be happy. Life can’t be avoided unless you live in a cave, so how do we navigate difficult times? We need tools and strategies to help us get back up and move forward stronger, wiser, and more blessed.

In this insightful episode, Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW, engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Sonta Wilburn, the director of a police academy in Kansas City, about the vital role of emotional intelligence (EQ) in raising children. They begin by exploring what emotional intelligence is and how both parents and children can identify their strengths and areas for growth. Drawing parallels between parenting and running a company, they discuss how EQ applies to parenting and the impact of differing emotional strengths between parents and their kids. Sonta shares her insights on how understanding these differences can strengthen family relationships, how a shift in perspective can lead to more effective parenting, and the ways in which emotional intelligence has personally transformed her outlook. The episode concludes with key takeaways for parents who want to foster emotional intelligence in their children, helping them build stronger connections and resilience.

I invite you to get into a comfortable position and be open to exploring how my special guest, Dawn Train, transformed her anxiety into art. The podcast is formatted as an art show to give the viewers a walk through what Dawn calls “ColorfulAnxiety.” I hope you enjoy the beauty of “Colorful Anxiety.” I hope you are open to appreciating Dawn’s meticulous details of taking strips of paper, pearls of glue, and points of needles to create magnificent art pieces to express her philosophy of how she lives with her anxiety. Dawn’s acceptance, gratitude, and accomplishment make her story an art. In this episode, she explains how she learned her craft. Dawn opened up about how her art elevated to a new level when she learned about partnering with artists of different specialties, such as Deborah Hill, framing artist of Art Incorporated, and Claud Hart- Exhibit Curator of the Barshop Jewish Community Center of San Antonio. “Colorful Anxiety” art showcases how the “fun” of anxiety is reflected through beauty.

Pam Henry Smith was a fourth grade teacher who assigned her students a creative writing project. Their assignment was to write and create their own story. The story wasn’t written in one day. Rather the assignment took months to complete. Students would work on their story in class each day. Pam watched as students began to enjoy the process and even work together on their stories. She always wrote her own story because she believes that teachers should create a participative learning class room. MEET MACK began as one of those stories Pam wrote along with her students.
MEET MACK is the true story of the adventures of an amazing Amazon parrot named Mack. Mack came into the author’s family as a gift given to the author’s grandparents by her father.
The book tells how this parrot brought joy, frustration, and love to the author’s whole family. It will make readers laugh and cry, but it truly shows a bond that formed between a parrot and a family.
Create a memory for a child. Read MEET MACK together and explore the world of parrots.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Remember when you were a kid and someone asked you the question, what do you want to be when you grow up? Do you remember the answer? Was it a Security Guard at the bank or an Underwater welding specialist? No, of course not unless your parents did that job you probably didn’t know it existed. Most kids say they want to be a Police Officer or a Firefighter. Some say Doctor or even Astronaut. Lots of kids want to be Athletes and Actors and many say a Veterinarian because they love animals — and that’s where our story begins today.
Natasha Burrell – It’s always a bit worrying when you get those middle-of-the-night ones because you know it’s going to be serious.
That’s Natasha Burrell, a Veterinary Surgeon remembering the time she got one of those dreaded late night calls that an animal was in need of emergency surgery. This time it was a cat that had been hit by an Ambulance.
Natasha Burrell – So, it’s probably around 2010, this actually happened. It’s the only animal patient I’ve ever had arrive at the clinic in the middle of the night in a human ambulance with a paramedic. And it stuck in my head as the paramedics had treated him so well. He’d had oxygen.He was all wrapped up. He was getting the five-star paramedic treatment. And it also stuck in my mind as he was just a lovely cat. He was a real smoochy, friendly, cooperative patient. And even though we couldn’t find the owner, everyone at the clinic was so committed to giving this cat another chance. I mean, he had a pretty serious, serious injury. And I think also the fact that the paramedic took him home, that we know he had a wonderful life after everything he went through and just the chances of it happening the way it did was quite unusual.
This story is now the subject of her book St John the Ambulance Cat: Based on a true story and if you’re following the timeline you might be wondering why now? This happened nearly fifteen years ago.
Natasha Burrell – I have three school-age children and my youngest daughter is eight. And I was asked to give a talk to her class about being a vet last year. And part of that, I decided to tell the story of the cat that we called St John. And the kids just really seemed to enjoy his story. They asked wonderful questions. And I kind of thought it would make a good book. Like, it’s quite an unusual story from the point of view of what happened to the cat. And yeah, just a happy ending as well. So, yeah.
Just to recap a bit its 2010 in Dunedin New Zealand, Dunedin is located way down on the South Island’s southeast coast. An ambulance is being dispatched to help a person in need when it accidentally hits a cat.
Natasha Burrell – It was a bit more complicated than the story because obviously they had to get an ambulance quickly to the human patient. So another ambulance was diverted straight to the human patient. And then St John actually went back to the hospital, got transferred to another ambulance and came out to the vet clinic. But the paramedic that was driving the ambulance came into the clinic the next day and asked how he was. And because we couldn’t find an owner, she offered to pay for his treatment. And after he’d recovered enough she actually took him home and he lived with her for quite a few years. Apparently, I talked to the paramedic recently, apparently he still had a bit of a limp. He wasn’t over 100%, but she changed his name to Ollie.
Makes sense. St. John was the name of the Ambulance company and while the nurses originally named him that she worked for St. John so she decided to give a different name.
When I first came across this story I thought it was unusual to make a children’s book out of a tragedy
Natasha Burrell – It was very hard to write a children’s book where you’re actually starting by running over a cat
I can imagine…but then when you see it you’ll understand. It’s a true story with a happy ending and like I said in the beginning, it’s one of those professions that children find most interesting so this is a real life example, told from a young person’s perspective of course, of what that job might entail.
Natasha Burrell – I just wanted it to be a story that they could, a simple story that they could follow along and just say what stages go through with the treatment for an injury. And I just, I wanted to be realistic but still try and aim at that, a child’s level of understanding.
And she’s done a wonderful job. There’s nothing graphic in the book, plus it gets them talking and sharing experiences of their own.
Natasha Burrell – Yeah. I mean, I think for when I read to my daughter’s class, a lot of the kids started to tell me their own stories of their animals if they’d been to the beach and what had been wrong with them and I think it’s, I think grandparents would be the same, you know, you can relate to things that you’ve been through with your animals in the past and, you know.
And I don’t think you could ask for more than that, a heartwarming tale based on a true story about how one day a tragedy was turned into a triumph of love, teamwork, caring, compassion and companionship. If you’re explaining it to the kids Natasha has a better description.
Natasha Burrell – So I’d tell ‘em it’s about a cat’s veterinary tale, basically. His treatment through coming into the vet clinic till when he found a home and it’s sort of a glimpse into what a veterinary case may be like.
St John the Ambulance Cat: Based on a true story

The Authors
Charles and Gloria live in the Cairn’s area of Queensland in Australia, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Cairn’s itself is often referred to as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Charles and Gloria recently got married due to their religious thinkings and ethos. The path to this union has due to cultural background differences not been an easy journey, yet a journey that brought them ever closer having lost loving spouses from previous relationships. So, let’s have a look at their individual backgrounds.
Charles:
Charles was born in Kecskemet 1939 in Hungary to a German Mother and Hungarian father. Growing up as a child in war-torn Hungary and Germany life was austere. On his tenth birthday he can recall arriving in Port Philip Bay, Melbourne, Australia. The family moved several times in those early years in and around the state of Victoria. Charles quickly learnt to speak English. He attended services at the German Lutheran Church. Charles graduated from the Universities of Melbourne and Tasmania in Chemistry and Biophysics respectively with a doctorate to follow. While at University he met his Czech born teacher wife Milena who sadly passed away in 2021. Charles’ children Paul and Jennifer have broadly speaking followed in their father’s footsteps into the scientific world. Science and religion often come into conflict as one deals in hard evidential facts and the other on belief from the bible. So, a scientist and a religious person is rare but that is who Charles Pallaghy is. His second marriage to Gloria, as for he is concerned has been a blessing, but it took some convincing to get his son and daughter to accept the situation. Plus, the fact moving from Melbourne to Cairns they thought he was mad. But as Charles said to me off screen,” it’s warmer in Northern Queensland than Melbourne and now that he’s of a certain age he needs all the warmth he can get.”
Gloria:
Gloria was born in the Sepik River area of Papua New Guinea; her parents were Catholics, and her grandparents whom she knew very little about apart from the fact the tribe in their early days partook in cannibalism, something that goes against everything Gloria herself stands for. Gloria at a young age met Casper a Christian and over a period converted to Christianity. Both herself and Casper attended Bible school, their reward was to serve as senior pastors in charge of the Port Moresby Assembly of God church. Their successful work there attracted unwanted attention from within their own families who tried their level best to destroy them by means of powerful witchcraft practises, something that is very much in evidence in Papua New Guinea. These ancient customs are even maintained by some of those in the Christian community. Gloria’s own husband Casper was determined to bring Christianity to his own village, a village where witchcraft was prevalent, even his own brother used it to oppose him. Shortly after returning to his ancestral village Gloria’s husband passed away under suspicious circumstances, was witchcraft a part of his demise, some of the family would side with that outcome. However, this left Gloria with two children destitute and vulnerable in a male dominated society whose treatment of women was nothing short of pure prime evil. Gloria endured the wrath of her male misogynist societal background for years but that did not stop her from becoming a schoolteacher actively mentoring and preparing young people for the world they were about to venture out into. Gloria eventually moved to Australia, but throughout her life even when she thought God had abandoned her, she kept her Christian faith. So, you can see how different Charles and Gloria’s life’s have been.
Since Charles and Gloria got married two books have emerged and this is what this podcast is about the merging of two very different religious upbringings coming together under one roof with fortitude and determination. So, let’s turn our attention to the books.

Merging Jew and Gentile for Perfection
When you open this book, you’ll find thirteen chapters of highly interesting conversational areas around two of the world’s great faiths, Christianity and Judaism.

Welcome to they edition of Newsgram!
According to a recent survey approximately 67% of American households have pets. Dogs are the most popular pet followed closely by cats and then of course there’s fish, birds and other small animals like Guinea Pigs. Our family has always had pets and if you are a pet owner too, then you know the emotional roller coaster these lovable creatures can lead you down.
Having a pet is one of the most joyous things you can do for yourself and your family but losing them is, well…the opposite of that.
One day, when our kids were young we decided that we were done with pets. The emotional toll of losing them was just too great but the kids were young and very insistent so we reluctantly agreed on a hand-fed cockatiel. Long life and easy to care for right? So Mr. Peepers joined our family and everyone loved him — and in case you’re wondering, his wings were clipped and he was not confined to a cage. Mr. Peepers was free to leave the cage whenever he chose and yes we took all the necessary precautions to make sure he was safe when flying about. But Mr. Peepers preferred to be in or near his cage anyway. From time to time we’d find him on top of the kitchen cabinets or some other place and I’d have to get out the ladder and bring him down. I’d put him on my shoulder like a pirate and he’d nibble on my ears then one day Mr. Peepers laid an egg. And, that’s the day we re-named him Mr’s Peepers.
Everyone loved holding Mrs. Peepers, especially my grandkids — yes that’s how long he was in our family—our young kids had kids of their own.
Pam Henry Smith – Mack Lived to be about sixty
That’s Pam Henry Smith talking about her family’s pet, Mack the Amazon Parrot
Pam Henry Smith – He brought us joy, frustration and amusement and knew kids would love to hear about it.
So she put together a picture book that showcases some of the more outrageous exploits of this cherished family friend.
Pam Henry Smith – And I really got the inspiration to do it from my grandparents and my students at school.
Pam graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with a Bachelor of Education degree. She taught fourth grade for 32 years in White Hall, Arkansas.
Pam Henry Smith – Well, fourth and fifth and several other grades. And as I was writing books and teaching them how to write stories, I decided to write one with them. So this is the first one that I got published. So I do want to continue.
So Meet Mack was born and it tells the true story of an amazing Amazon parrot — this breed, when given the right amount of love, care and interaction can form a deep and lasting bond with certain individuals, and in her house that individual was Grammy.
Pam Henry Smith – But, you know, Mac kept up with Grammy. It didn’t matter what she was doing, whether she was cooking, it would entertain her in the kitchen. If she was cleaning up, he was listening to what she was doing and watching over her. And I showed that in my book when she fell off the ladder one day. And I mean, Mac was in the other room and he yells out, Grammy, you okay, Grammy? I mean, this bird truly loved Grammie
In case you were wondering, Grammy’s fine. It’s fascinating how intelligent species like parrots and cockatiels are—they have an incredible emotional capacity. They recognize and respond to their favorite people, showing affection in different ways while seeking physical closeness. Their loyalty to those they trust is remarkable. And, much like a child, they have no filter, which can be a bit embarrassing at times.
Pam Henry Smith – I mean, I can remember one time we were sitting at the table and we had an aunt that came into town. And she was quite a character. And she never let anybody have time to talk. And all of a sudden, we were eating dessert. Everybody was quiet. And they were listening to Anne Elsie. And then Mac yells out, oh, shut up. He told her to shut up. We just about died. But she looked up and she said, I guess it’s about time I shut my mouth when the bird tells you to shut up.
Yes, that’s part of their charm isn’t it. They just say whatever they feel like saying.
Pam Henry Smith – Well, my grandparents lived really close to a bus stop. The bus stop was on the corner. So Paula and I would always put the cage on the front screen and porch. And of course, nobody could see the bird. And everybody would walk down the street. Well, this one guy was walking down the street and Mac always talked. And he would say, hey boy, and that guy turned around. And of course, Mac turned around and said, hey boy. And the guy turned around again. He said, can’t you talk, boy? And by the time Mac said that, the guy ran. I mean, he was scared to death because he didn’t know he was talking to him. But it was always, always something that Mac was doing all the time.
And now, I think it’s time for you to “Meet Mac.” This heartwarming story, born in a fourth-grade creative writing class, shows how a mischievous family pet can create a lasting bond across generations.
Pam Henry Smith – That’s what’s so special about this book. I mean, I told the stories to my grandkids when they were two and three. And then they always said, maybe you ought to do a book. And now I’ve done it. And they’re just really excited. But I just think, you know, this book will probably go on up to sixth grade level. And you can, as a teacher, I love to work with teachers on how to get kids enthused in writing. And, you know, teaching them what I did. It did work. We had pretty good literacy scores. And it was just exciting. But yes, it’s one of those books that you can put into a lesson if you’re a teacher. It’s one of those that you can read to the little ones. And second grade on up could read it. If they’re pretty good readers, the second grader could read it. And my grandson has read it to his little sister. And he’s going into the fifth grade so…
An Amazon parrot may not be the ideal pet for every family. These birds have long lifespans and can bite and show other challenging behaviors, as you’ll see in the book. It’s important to consider these factors carefully before deciding to bring one into your home.
But books don’t bite and Meet Mac beautifully illustrates how a pet can forge a strong family bond, creating cherished memories that last a lifetime, while highlighting the vital role grandparents play in shaping their grandchildren’s lives.
As Mac brings both laughter and challenges, he intertwines love and understanding that will be treasured for years to come. This story goes beyond just a pet; it’s about the power of family, connection, and the unspoken lessons we pass down through generations.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Every journey is best pursued by having an authentically wise guidebook to aid you in your understanding of your ULR ( Understanding of Life and Reality), how to wisely journey through life and reality.
An authentically wise understanding (ULR understanding of life and reality) is informed both about how and why to travel, and journey wisely. It is self-evident that truth and love matter to a life wisely lived, but it is not plainly evident whose explanation of life and reality (ELR) contains the very best explanation of constitutes enduring truth and authentic love.
The God of the Bible said if left to ourselves, collectively you will be plagued by wars and rumors of wars, that famine and pestilent would plague your days. And you will in your intimate relationships as couples and families would find loving oneness much longed for but difficult to find and even more challengingly to sustain.
Your much self-heralded humanly constructed ELRs, have not resulted in an enlightened, informed, progressively enriched existence but a reality persistently plagued by unity/chaos, clarity/confusion, peace/despair, and all life still finally ends in death.
You were warned by the God of the Bible, you would come to suffer from a mind and heart condition similar to snow blindness termed reality blindness: better equipped to see analytically but yet persistently, congenitally spiritually blinded. Reality blindness is a congenital condition of humanity, a manifestation of being spiritually stillborn, if you elect to exist outside of a right standing with God.
When all things are relative being equally true and false at the same time in the same relationship nothing is relevant: real gold is equal to fool’s gold, momentary lust and enduring love are equally valid emotional expressions. Humanly sourced understanding results in a form of mental, emotional hypothermia: reality began at your birth, all meaning is temporary, and in death you return to nothingness.
In our various hypothermic states of existence, you numb your inevitable despair by self-medications found in drugs, sex, achievement, entertainment, etc. or some lash out with a coping strategy of hurting themselves or others.
But wait! All is not lost. Your existence failure is not new nor unexpected nor unexplained. God created you with love hungry hearts only He can satisfy. God is both the great physician and ultimate parent who can both heal you spiritual today and gift you with an eternal relationship for all of your tomorrows including a post-physical-death forever home.
But you have to respond with a yes and to His offer of the Live Wise Solution: forgiveness and adoption. As directed by God, Live Wise is a Jesus sourced how-to guidebook for facing life and reality’s complexities and messiness with the singularly valuable wisdom and love of God only found in God’s ELRs: Jesus and the Bible. Initially God’s offer is a gift of forgiveness of your sins and an outpouring of love and peace that only need be accepted. Stop. Think. Believe. You make the call. Live Wise.

Originally Published March 28, 2022. Let’s take a deep dive into the power of intentional happiness with an expert on the subject—Eric Karpinski. Today we are going to explore practical habits like gratitude journaling and conscious acts of kindness that not only enhance your well-being but can also transform workplace cultures. Tune in to learn how science-backed strategies can lead to greater engagement, productivity, and most importantly, happiness, both in life and at work.
Eric once followed the societal formula for happiness—work hard, succeed, and then find fulfillment but realized that this relentless pursuit left him anxious and depressed. After turning to positive psychology he found that happiness doesn’t stem from achievements alone, but from building meaningful habits, fostering connections, and balancing life with gratitude and kindness. His discoveries also led him to write The Seven Principles of Happiness, where he advocates for an “action buffet” approach—sampling different habits to find what works best for individuals and teams.

“Ego says, ‘I can do no wrong,’ whereas confidence says, ‘I can get this right.’ Confidence says, ‘I’m valuable,’ while ego says, ‘I’m invaluable.’” – Todd Henry

The Ego resides in the subconscious mind and creates identities. These identities help you get through challenging situations and keep you safe. They also keep you from being happy. The Subconscious, in turn, and the ego constitute 95% of how you autopilot through life. Think of an iceberg. The tip-top 5% of the iceberg represents our conscious mind, while 95% below water represents our subconscious mind. So, who is driving your life? The reality is your Ego, and its subconscious programs are the reason you are stuck, unhappy, and not getting the desired results.

“Don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.”— John D. Rockefeller

https://youtu.be/zNLv-fIdAtoCheck Out These Highlights:
The most significant areas where I see salespeople and sales teams drop the ball are at the beginning and end of the sales process.
Step 1 is preparation at the beginning of the sales process. To put this in perspective, when we are doing our external business development efforts, 90% of successful BD is preparation. Yes, 90%.
What I see with the teams I work with is that they feel so busy that they forfeit prep time and go out and wing it.
In a recent survey – 82% of decision-makers (prospective clients) feel that the salespeople they deal with must prepare for the sales calls and show up ill-prepared.
Interestingly, we cannot afford to show up unprepared and skip the extra work beforehand. When we prepare, the process accelerates, the prospect or client is more likely to say yes, and we feel a surge of confidence. It’s like a flow of energy that makes everything seem effortless.
Let me share what I feel should be prepared before any sales conversations or efforts occur.

After a week’s delay due to circumstances beyond our control, we are moving into the change focus for our podcast now that we have finished discussing all the Metaphysical Kernels of Thought from our Tradition of The Path book. We are calling what we are up to A Year of Walking the Path. First, we discuss where we are on the Solar Cycle/Times of part of our practice. Not onl is the Autumn Equinox this Sunday but we are in the Middle of the Times of Loafmas and the Crone and Sage share a bit about both of them. In our Lunar Cycle segment, we just had a Super Moon with a partial eclipse and the Sage definitely was affected as he worked some major magick for himself. In our LIturgy section, the Crone shares a Self Blessing that can be used as we decide what we want to study and reflect on as we move into the Darker Energy part of the year. In our Ritualization of the Everyday, we share about what we are doing on a daily basis at the moment. Finally, to round out our episode, Dave, our Sage, performs a 3-card Witchstone reading about some of the available energies.
In this informative episode, Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW, is joined by pediatrician Dr. Kaitlin Stein to discuss the critical differences between illnesses that require antibiotics and those that do not.

Karen’s website tells us that she is a popular speaker who helps audiences to get their groove back and feel excited for their futures again.

Rather, emotionalenergy is the catalyst for mental wellness, and for spiritual and professional growth. She talks about how emotions are the language of our soul.

Join Eartha as she interviews a special guest, Mr. Cedric Elevancini
(Banker and Financial Advisor). Mr. Elevancini shares his expertise from his 12 to 14 years of experience in banking, real estate, and business advising. Cedric emphasizes the critical need to teach children about financial management from a young age. The psychological influences of buying, money management, and the development of saving habits are passed to childhood learning through parental financial behaviors. Parents are encouraged to be aware of the role of their parental behavior as a role model for children and their unique influences in guiding children to make responsible financial decisions. Financial stress develops when people try to live beyond their means or income. When people compare their material wealth with others, stress can be an outcome.
As a result, it is very common for people to come into the bank and request extra money, like a credit card, or to request some advances on their credit card or lines of credit. Acquiring a loan, credit card, or cash advances are financial tools. Sometimes, financial tools are necessary. However, we must manage our finances with awareness and good judgment. There’s nothing wrong with using those financial tools to accomplish a job or goal. Remembering that family is essential in one’s life is paramount. Money is a tool that provides a livelihood for family life.

Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by – Renee Rouleau, “Be good to your skin. You’ll wear it every day for the rest of your life.” I turn 63 years old this November of 2024. As I write my notes and see #63 written out, I can’t help but pause and think about the aging process and what it means. They say 60 is the new 40 and I kind of agree with this notion. For me being healthy on the inside is critical and yes, I will be honest and say I want to look good on the outside too. That’s not being vain, rather it’s about living a thriving life and staying relevant for my business and for my clients.

“Just can’t get started“. “I did a bunch of things on my To-Do list…not the important ones but I got a lot done”. “I’m exhausted, can’t do another thing! (5pm)”. Does this sound like you? Join the crowd! At least 8 out 10 of us with ADHD (my guesstimate, probably more than that) have said that more than once. What gets in our way? Why is it so hard to get going on things we know have to get done?
The answers are in Your Brain’s Not Broken, the chapter on the Murderers of Motivation. My guest in this episode is its author, Tamara Rosier Ph.D, an ADHD coach in Michigan with a wider professional background than that description might suggest; she brings the personal perspective of one with lived experience in ADHD to her work (as do I). We explore how these murderers of our best intentions derive from the processes of the ADHD mind which are different from “the other 96 percent”. Best of all, Dr. Rosier explains the Solve-It Grid, her model of how to prevent the workings of our ADHD minds from grabbing us, and how to balance our energy and focus over the day/week/month. Join us! Listen and learn!

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today we are going to focus on the work of an author, curious about many of the things he’d been told about Jesus. It’s about an author striving to understand and clarify many of the things within the New Testament that seemed to contradict one another and he found that there are in fact no contradictions within the four texts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Peter Boaz Jones set out on a journey to discover the truth and he discovered that the so-called contradictions, actually complement each other rather than conflict and he discovered all of this and much more while combining those four gospels into one.
Peter Boaz Jones – This particular formulation of the four Gospels into one complete whole, with the given explanations of the text in question, including a complete scripture graph, is an attempt to give the answers to the age-old problem of the natural synchronization of the successive events in the four Gospels without any of the so-called contradictions, thus producing an entirely new work for those who are seeking answers to some of the seemingly perplexed anomalous questions that people interested in this field have halted at. Consequently, and hopefully, therefore, it will give the subject the proper credence it had from its original conception when these miraculous events were first written down. Moreover, it will create one natural flowing Gospel in combining the four, but at the same time, not taking anything away from the importance of the individuality of each of the authors and their separate books
That is Peter reading a summary from the back of his book, The Gospel of the Four: A Unique Conflation of the Four Gospels into a Single Continuous Narrative, Explicated by the Author’s Commentary. I enjoy authors like Peter who are driven by their inner curiosity and have a healthy dose of skepticism. It drives them to find objective answers.
Peter Boaz Jones – Yeah, well, my parents, you know, my stepfather, they were quite religious. And some of the things they said, I didn’t always agree with, and I started checking up on things then. I mean, I don’t want to knock one religion against another one, because they’ve all got the truth but I was just interested in some of the things they were saying.
One of the things he discovered is that Christianity stems from Judaism, a fact well known to some. And while Christianity eventually developed its own distinct beliefs and practices, such as the belief in the Trinity and salvation through Jesus, its roots are firmly embedded in the Jewish tradition.
Peter Boaz Jones – Understanding the Old Testament properly is paramount to understanding the new though, you know, one can understand the New Testament without the Old Testament in one way, but to get a complete picture. And it depends on one’s interest. If one is interested in expanding one’s knowledge, then, naturally, one has to acknowledge that Christianity came from Judaism. Of course, a lot of people wish they didn’t, you know. But, you know, that’s basically the truth, you know.
His book is a detailed work, written in a way that’s easy to follow, which makes it great for all readers, whether they are scholars or just curious Christians. Even if you don’t agree with all of his conclusions, the book will still help you to discover new truths. To put it very simply, it’s written for anyone looking for answers.
Peter Boaz Jones – Well, basically, for people who are interested in this subject, I feel that people who are interested in it are people who study. And in this sense, the book is a study aid. It’s a reference work to keep going back to, to keep checking. And that’s basically what I want people to do is to check on some of the things that some of the stories are going around about that have gone around years about Jesus’ miracles and the text. You know, a lot of even scholars say a lot of the texts contradict each other. When on closer examination, you find that they don’t. They only enhance each other. So that’s what I want the reader to understand that it’s miraculous. The Gospels put together, even by the authors themselves, is a miraculous thing that happened. And still now, one can grasp that through my book. And that’s really what I want people to take away from it.
The Gospel of the Four by Peter Boaz Jones is a unique and award winning book! It won the 2023 Christian Book Award contest, and the 2023 New York Book Festival Award — so congrats on that.
This unique, award winning work of non-fiction combines all four Gospels into one cohesive text, which makes it easy if you’re trying to grasp the true context of many of Jesus’ sayings and parables.
His approach makes it a great resource for students, scholars, or anyone curious about Jesus and Christianity. It’s available now at Amazon.com or wherever you like to buy books and we’ve put a link to some of them and the authors Facebook page in the show’s description; and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

The book is theinside story of the invention of an industrial product that became an American icon. It takes place in the 1960-70’s at a small, privately owned company, Sandford Ink Company, located in Bellwood, Illinois. When the author interviewed for the job, Keith Beal, the Research and Development Director, gave him a tour of the manufacturing area. Beal made it a point to stop at a small table. At the table were three or four assemblers manually placing Sharpie pen “reservoirs” into Sharpie “barrels”, fitting the “ferrule” (top half of the pen) into place, spin welding the assembly, adding the ink with a foot-operated syringe, setting the tip and cap in place, and then placing the finished marker in a box that was partitioned to hold twelve rows of twelve—one gross of product. “This,” Keith told me, “Is the Sharpie Marker.”
All the author wanted when he interviewed for the job of chemist at Sanford Ink Company was a way to support his young family. He would worry about making his mark in the world after his family had a place to sleep, a used car to drive, and food in the refrigerator. Furniture for the apartment could come later.
What happens next is today a piece of industrial Americana.

My motivational quote for today is by – R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr.
“Let’s stop believing that our differences make us superior or inferior to one another. A diverse mix of voices leads to better discussions, decisions, and outcomes for everyone.” – R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr.
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/x1RwkK8flQECheck Out These Highlights:
I love this quote and find its relevance extremely timely in today’s divided world. My opinion is right; yours is wrong, which is an awful approach to communication and collaboration.
Diverse thinking creates friction, which is a really good thing! This is where conflict resolution happens, allowing for innovations and combined thinking, which helps us end up in a better place than we started. The reality is that we all have our opinions based on our filters and perspectives, which are actually very limited. This means that most of life happens in the grey areas where diversity and collaboration can create practical and valuable change. Yet, many avoid the grey area so that they can be right.

When practicing mindfulness awareness, we pay attention to our breath, thoughts, and feelings. And we pay attention to any discomforts, pressures, or pain. During this podcast, Eartha, your guide, will lead you through the first step of creating a mindfulness action plan. Your mindfulness action plan is your personal tool. Each plan is unique to help focus on refilling. Understand that it may take a little time to grow accustomed to taking personal time to recharge energy. That is OK. You will find when you take time to recharge your energy, you will have more energy to help those around you. Here are a few points to keep in mind:
- Be aware of your time.
- Be aware of chunks of time you spend on things you want rather than on things you need. Ask yourself, “Iswhatever I am spending my time on benefiting others?” Be true to yourself and your findings.
- Be open to adjust and be flexible.
For example, adjust your time for healthy sleep hygiene habits. This may include turning off all social media or electronics after a specific time. It may consist of journaling. Remember, this is your time. It’s not time to grow quiet so that you can pour someone else your energy. This is your time to recharge yourself.
Another suggestion is to be aware of the amount of time you’re spending on social media. Be open and be truly honest. How much time are you willing to cut back and take a social media vacation? Specifically, how much time are you willing to stay away from social media for a little bit of time? The importance of a healthy sleep hygiene habit and healthy social media interactions is crucial for growing positive energy. Being honest with yourself about your social media habits can lead to positive changes in your energy levels.

Kate Delaney talks with Maureen Anne Meehan about her new book Rodeo. It’s the latest in the Mary McIntosh series. If you’ve never been to Wyoming you’ll want to go when you read this gripping story. The novel dives into the history of the state and professional rodeos. Prosecuting attorney “Mac’ takes on a wild ride in this fictional account of a female serial killer who preys on teenagers during the Sheridan WYO Rodeo in 2024. You can find Rodeo on Amazon.com and wherever books are sold.
Check out our interview here:
https://youtu.be/WnP-LecDSH4About the Author: Maureen Anne Meehan is a multi-talented individual with a fascinating journey to share. After earning a degrees in education she pursued a career in law eventually becoming a Judge.Her life took a dramatic turn when a tragic event inspired her to create a world of legal thrillers.All six novels are set in picturesque Sheridan, Wyoming where Meehan was raised. She now lives in Southern California with her rescue kittens and says she occasionally is visited by her four adult children.
The author was working as a veterinarian. She was asked to give a talk about her profession at her daughter’s school. She shared this story with the children.
An ambulance was on its way to pick up a very sick patient when… suddenly out of nowhere a cat runs across the road in front of the speeding ambulance! The driver hits the brakes but unfortunately hit the cat! Thinking quickly, the paramedic jumped out of the ambulance, bundled the cat into the ambulance, and raced to the nearest vet clinic. Will his life be saved?
The anonymous cat was transported by ambulance to the vet clinic. He undergoes veterinary treatment and surgery. He recovers and finds a wonderful new home with the paramedic.
When the author finished telling the story, she was very surprised by the reactions of the children. They had all sorts of questions about the procedures used to save the life of the cat, now named St. John by the veterinary staff. They wanted to know how you could become a veterinarian. They were so interested and curious, they inspired the author to write the beautifully illustrated book. Her hope is that by sharing the story of ST. JOHN THE AMBULANCE CAT, young readers will take away three messages:
- Choose kindness.
- Have compassion for animals.
- Aim to inspire children to become veterinarians.

When you read her children’s book, you’ll see it does have a certain vet’s angle to it. So, let’s turn to the book.

https://youtu.be/vPfz8Xz2PNIThe Book
Follow a veterinary tale about a cat who ran across the road in front of a paramedic
The book revolves around compassion and kindness to animals and is aimed at 5–6-year-olds. It’s a sweet, charming story about a cat that got knocked down by a paramedic on her way to a call out. The story is based on a true event that took place close to Dunedin. The narrative tale of St John the cat tells the journey from his accident to his recovery process to becoming lifelong friends with the paramedic. The illustrations are relevant, engaging and easy for a young child to understand the story. A nice book for a bedtime read to be enjoyed by a young child on their own depending on their reading ability or a shared moment with a parent or grandparent. Children who love animals and might want to work in pet rescue situations or who are thinking of becoming veterinarians will find this book very interesting.
I enjoyed it, there again I’m just a big kid at heart like most so-called grownups!

https://youtu.be/AsTbdCKIA0MCheck Out These Highlights:
I have shared the Gallup Global Workplace Surveys about employee engagement at work over the years. Well, a new study just came out, and it’s not good!
The study shows that 33 percent of American workers describe their work experience as meaningful or engaging. Let that sink in for a moment—77% are not engaged!
I want to break this down even further. This translates to approximately 107 million working Americans who describe themselves as “unengaged.” Additionally, 17 percent of all US workers describe themselves as “actively disengaged.” That’s 22 million workers.
Gallup estimates the global cost of disengagement at work to be 9 percent of the world’s GDP. Since the global GDP is about $100 trillion, the lost opportunity cost is around $9 trillion.
Before I introduce my guest, I would like to share with you one more perspective on these results.
What does this say about the human cost? What’s the human impact of decades of unengaging work for 107 million Americans? According to Gallup’s 2024 survey, 41 percent of all US workers report experiencing “a lot of stress at work.” So now we are talking about unengaging and stressful work.
If you are a leader and don’t know where your organization’s employees fall within this study, you may want to take notes and see what can be done to change this landslide.

I love this quote; it helps set up today’s show topic: Differentiation is the Key to Unlocking Sales. So, how can brands (and their sales teams) differentiate in a crowded marketplace to stand out and drive customer acquisition? The first step is to give first and provide value (not BS), which will build deep relationships and easily create lifelong customers and referral sources for passive income.

During part 2 of “Caution! Fill your water bottles with care”, Eartha will elaborate more about mindfulness self-care. She will guide you through recognizing how we pour our inner energy into various containers in our lives. Often, we are busy depleting our supply of positive energy until physical symptoms of fatigue take over and distract us from self-care. I adapted this practice (from Gina Biegel of Stressed Teens) into a visual example of what happens when we pour our energy into others without refilling our inner power. This practice is fantastic. To participate in the “refilling your energy practice,” you will need a journal, or you can use “Notes” on your device. In the writing segment of this practice, I will invite you to be mentally open. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Then, bring your awareness to your emotions. This is how we will go beyond talking about our exterior bodies and experience the growth of our positive qualities.

Our dear friend Dr. R. Craig Hogan is with us again for the forty-sixth time, which is about right, since we are in our eleventh year of doing Seek Reality podcasts. And Craig has been with us regularly, every three or four months since we began in June of 2013, when Craig Hogan was our very first guest! Back then, He had published Your Eternal Self a few years before, which was how Roberta first meet him. Since then, she and Craig and have worked closely together, putting on conferences, and then founding Seek Reality Online together when they realized how inefficient in getting the truth out the in-person conference mode was turning out to be.
Of all the world’s leading experts on the afterlife, Craig Hogan really is the leading expert, and his books on the topic are the go-to resources on the subject of the afterlife. how it works, and how it happens. Reasons for What Happens to You in Your Life & Your Afterlife, and Answers to Life’s Enduring Questions: From Science Discoveries and Afterlife Revelations, are two of his terrific books. And when people ask Roberta what the difference is between Craig’s books and her own, she always tells them that Craig uses footnotes! Craig’s website is seekreality.com.

The Author
James M Corkill is a veteran and retired Federal Firefighter of thirty-two-years from Washington State in the United States. Prior to those years in the fire service, he was an electronic technician and in his spare time he studied mechanical engineering something he enjoyed very much.
Writing was never at the heart of James’ life but in 1997 he embarked on a new mission in life and that was to write. James worked on his first Book Dead Energy for several years and with his wife’s failing health due to cancer he rushed to get it published in 2002 so that he could proudly hold up a copy to his wife before she passed. Throughout the writing process of that book, he very much welcomed the mentoring skills of Hugh Barnett Cave the British and Jamaican horror author who he met in 1997.
After his wife’s death life turned into a downward spiral for James with alcohol being at the core of his daily life, it took some considerable time for him to adjust and come to terms with the loss of his soulmate who had for many years being at the very heart as to he was. In 2013 he bumped into a total stranger who had read his first book Dead Energy, that stranger encouraged him to write again. He quit the booze and relaunched the Alex Cave series with gusto and to date there are seven books in the series so let’s turn to the books to see what they are about.

The Alex Cave Thriller Series
Action Adventure, Science Fiction Mystery Thrillers
The first three books of the series are in themselves a mini-series.
The Energy Saga Trilogy
Dead Energy
Cold Energy
Red Energy
The other four books that make up The Alex Cave Series are very much part of the network, but the storylines are loosely independent of each other.
Gravity
Pandora’s Eyes
DNA
Parallel
You do, however need to read The Energy Saga Trilogy before you open the other books as those plots what make much sense to you.
Dead Energy
This book is a phenomenal ride when it comes to, nail-biting suspense accompanied with electrifying dramas. Alex Cave is the main character, he worked for the American Intelligence service the CIA, his work there involved complex and challenging projects. When is wife is murdered Alex steps away from the CIA for a quieter life as a geology teacher, but his new life didn’t last long. The Director of National Security Martin Donner reaches out to Alex asking for assistance as crude oil tankers across the globe are being attacked, not only tankers but oil refineries and oil pipelines vital to providing civilisation with basic amenities are also targeted. What has happened to that missing crude oil? What are those innocuous vials of crystal powder? Who are Reverend Menno Simons and his followers? And what’s their beef around environmental issues connected to crude oil? Want to know? Well, you’ll have to read the book.

The second book in the overall series and The Energy Saga Trilogy, is another all-engrossing chain of dynamic events, spills and thrills. The story revolves around a frozen ocean that freezes within minutes. The consequence of this seismic event impacts the world’s climatic patterns. If the situation isn’t brought under control quickly then civilization as we know it could be faced with unequivocable ecological issues. Alex as a geophysicist is called to investigate the situation. The advanced alien technology discovered on the Aleutian Islands is stolen and sent to COBRA a private top-secret research facility close to Yellowstone National Park. The top scientists there are baffled with what they have been presented with. What is this alien technology? Who’s behind the snatch? And who on Alex’s secret mission on board the research vessel is jeopardising proceedings? Hmm…

Alex Cave is faced with a new set of troubles like those he had to confront in the previous book. This time the story is about the rapidly expanding Polar Ice Sheet. The Ice sheet has spread thousands of square miles within a matter of minutes. Alex receives a message from a friend in Northern Canada. The Ice this time is crystal clear. Alex heads north and again he ventures onto the research vessel Mystic and again he encounters an uncooperative crew, particularly the captain. What secrets he uncovers is simply mind-blowing.
Hmm…what an exciting trilogy and start to the overall series.

A science fiction narrative that incorporates giant globules of molten rock floating up out of an ancient glacier, a dormant volcano deep within a mountain that Alex and friend O’ Conna explore, what they discover is frightening. Who is Janis Sloan? What’s her motive to stealing? And has she bitten off more than she can chew with the device she has stolen and abandoned? What is the device that has the capability of dragging satellites and the International Space Station back to earth and more horrifyingly attract a gold asteroid to collide with the earth, the consequences of which are simply unimaginable.
This is a real page turner of a book, no wonder it has four awards.

The colour of your eyes will determine your fate in this book. Alex Cave is confronted with another set of worrying factors that have the potential to jeopardise Earth’s functionality. What are the four artifacts Alex has unearthed? Where are they presently? What is the connection between the devices that have gone missing and Pandora a blue-eyed woman who has just been awoken? Why does she determine brown eyes as a degenerative gene? What of her ultimatum for all brown-eyed humans to be voluntarily killed to save her own kind?
A fascinating read.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HLL6CUW?ref_=dbs_m_mng_rwt_calw_tkin_4&storeType=ebooks&qid=1725037303&sr=8-1DNA
DNA and social media postings will determine who will be chosen to survive a coming apocalypse. Mya Austin is an archaeologist for the Sioux Nation, she has discovered a Colorado cave that has a 25-thousand-year-old drawing depicting two human visitors from space. The message written below the drawing in ancient Sioux indicates that they will return in 25-thousand-years. Carbon dating determines that their return is imminent sometime this year. To verify her understanding she needs the support of a geophysicist to resolve the age of the rock strata, alas Alex Cave is brought into the equation. The two humans from space have indeed returned in the characters Vesta and Paul. The news they bring is not good, and they offer to take five hundred people back with them for a new life. But Alex is suspicious of Vesta’s intentions and when the real reason for their return is exposed Alex and his team embark on a concerted effort to change the course of time and ultimately earth’s future.

Some experiments should never be attempted, Ex-CIA operative and geophysicist Alex Cave searches for the source of seismic activity in the Pacific Ocean. What he discovers is an ancient alien laboratory, getting in is the easy part but getting out is far more complex.
A deep sinister storyline full of intrigue. A great read.

The Author
Scott C Meischen is an author, teacher, consultant and encourager according to the call of God. Scott grew up in the Christian church but understood that as a young adult, his faith was nothing more than a cultural legacy of Christianity. Professionally trained and in the daily practice of truth (and falsehood) detection (as an internal auditor and single father of three) he found his way (at the prompting of God the Holy Spirit) to authentic biblical faith in the Faith: authentic, orthodox Christianity. Led by God and aided by many outstanding ministries, he found his way to the New Life, which was only made possible by engaging in an authentic love relationship with Jesus Christ. Today, Scott ministers in his local church as a faithful member, Bible teacher and Christian apologist to those also seeking a Jesus-sourced New Life, a Live Wise life. Scott lives with his wife, Debbie, their six adult children and their spouses, and eleven grandchildren in the Central Texas area. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University, the University of Texas, and is a certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Distinguished Toastmasters (DTM).

https://youtu.be/W9vEc0rgJSsThe Book
This soul searching, enriching book for me is written for the person who as the title suggests is probing for a more fulfilled life, a life spiritually enhanced with God’s wisdom and love, a life where Christian values are at the heart of their everyday activities. The book is extremely well written and although it’s quite lengthy in total it carries some significant messages that we can all learn from. Scott has broken the main thrust of the ideology behind his philosophical approach into three journeys. The first journey is headed up ‘The Salvation Journey’ and comprises five areas of spiritual exploration. The second Journey headed up as ‘The Sanctification Journey’ has six areas of topical debate about further exploratory avenues to consider to lead a Live Wise Christian life. And finally, the third journey ‘The Glorification Journey,’ with one area of consideration. But I have to say to fully understand and appreciate the over-riding concept of the book you would be well advised to spend some time getting to grips with the Glossary and Acronyms section that fronts the book as Scott does draw heavily on this segment for pure reference points to substantiate his ideological thinking’s throughout the book as a Whole. Has this book been written as a bedtime cosy read! No. It’s a guidebook as the subtitle alludes to, to help people enrich their spiritual lives and overall make them better people as they progress through life with all its complexities and uncertainties.

The Author
Pam Henry Smith is an American author from Hot Springs, Arkansas in the U.S. She grew up in Pine Bluff and following her parent’s divorce she and her sister Paula spent a lot of time with both sets of grandparents and the wonderful relationships they had with them is really the backbone to the tale in this debut book. Pam’s father was a successful businessman who was probably a workaholic, but still had time for his daughters. Her mother to whom Pam was close to, worked in finance and flourished in her own right. I think having chatted to Pam that both she and her sister inherited traits from their parents and both sets of grandparents which has made them both survivors.
Pam taught for for thirty-two-years at elementary level something she both enjoyed and excelled at, this enthusiasm for education she has passed on to all her students plus her three children and now grandchildren with whom she has a very close bond with.
Divorce is tough for kids having to deal with a completely new set of rules, something Pam and Paula found hard to adjust to, nevertheless adjust they did, but for Pam it taught her to be tough, independent with a loving caring attribute to her nature, this enduring quality she developed she has passed on, not only to her own children and grandchildren to who as I have already hinted at she cherishes wholeheartedly, but equally all of her students she taught over the years, in particular encouraging young girls to be strong when pursuing their choices in life.
Retirement means different things to different people, for Pam it’s the opportunity to follow new adventures and now that she has dipped her toe into the world of writing, who knows what will be coming down the line, hopefully more books. Pam has always been a strong advocate for literacy and maybe now that she has more time to devote to this passion of hers, we’ll see her flourish as a successful author. Watch this space is all I say.
So, let’s have a sneak preview as to what this debut book of hers is all about.

This is a children’s book and depending on the individual child’s reading ability a book for them to read themselves or with a parent/grandparent. Either way for me it’s a great bedtime read. The author in her interview notes to me sees the book as a book for all generations to simply enjoy. So, what is the book about? Well, it’s the story of a brightly coloured Amazon parrot called Mack, and it’s a true tale. The story is delightfully told over twenty-four pages against the backdrop of bright wonderful illustrations that really do set the scene. The narrative starts on the journey home from a summer trip to Disneyland in 1964 when the author’s father bought a parrot both for the author and her sister plus grandparents. Mack brought a lot of joy to the family, equally frustration, for Mack wasn’t to everyone’s taste, particularly grandad Guy as Mack’s incessant chattering often got on his nerves. It’s really a story of how an adorable pet can tighten the bonds of family relations, particularly grandchildren and grandparents. The author herself spent a lot of time with her grandparents of both sets and to this day still cherishes those special times with them and of course Mack the Amazon parrot with all his cheek and bravado.
The book is a special book for grandchildren and grandparents to enjoy those treasured moments that leave us all with an indelible mark on our lives.

Originally Published May 06,2022. In this episode of “How to Live a Fantastic Life,” Dr. Allen Lycka chats with Eileen Smith, a somatic experience practitioner, about overcoming trauma. Eileen explains that trauma isn’t just an event but the trapped energy in our bodies when we lose our sense of safety. She emphasizes that healing involves reconnecting with physical sensations to release this energy.
Eileen discusses how trauma can manifest as anxiety, digestive issues, and disconnection. Through somatic therapy, she helps clients gradually move out of survival mode, advocating for a slow, intentional healing process. The episode also touches on the importance of self-care, embracing discomfort, and making conscious choices to enhance life.
Ilene Smith helps people who feel stuck in life, often due to unresolved or hidden trauma. This can show up as issues like addiction, abuse, grief, divorce, or eating disorders. With the challenges of the past two years, many might be struggling more than ever.
As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Ilene guides others in recognizing and releasing the energy from unresolved trauma, helping them move forward in all areas of life. Curious to learn more? Ilene is eager to share practical tips with your listeners!

Daydreaming. Spacing out. Moving slowly, takes a long time to do anything. Always tired, even if they got a good night’s sleep. They can focus, get chores and homework done, it just takes them such a long time. This is a description of a child with Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome, CDS (formerly known as Sluggish Cognitive Tempo). People with ADHD Inattentive Type can also have CDS, but not all of them do. And not all folks with CDS have ADHD either.
My guest today is Dr. Joseph Fredrick, a psychologist and head of the CDS Program of the Center for ADHD at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Join us as we explore all aspects of CDS, from diagnosis to treatment. How would a parent, teacher, or clinician identify the child with CDS? What can be done about it? (Hint – a good sleep routine to allow 8 hours of solid sleep is the first step! ). Listen (and watch if you can) to get the answers. Listen and learn!

During this episode, we will talk about the mindfulness part of self-care. We’re going to go beyond talking about our exterior bodies and talk more about caring for our internal world. Eartha uses analogies during this “gardening” episode. Gardeners sometimes use the senses of touch, smell, and taste to determine how healthy plants are growing. From the assessment, nourishment, and water are given to the plants so they can thrive and be healthy. Please try to use the same perspective when we refer to our self-care. In mindfulness, it is healthy to recognize our triggers for stress and anxiety. If we deplete ourselves of proper nutrition, proper rest, and proper relaxation time, our internal balance begins to topple. That can cause physical illnesses, mental stress, and underproduction in our external world. Join me and explore how to refill our internal world with fresh energy, just like filling a water bottle with fresh spring water.

In this Extra, the Crone begins to detail the upcoming changes to the podcast segments now that the Sage and Crone have finished discussing all the Metaphysical Kernels of Thought from our book The Tradition of The Path.
We plan to let you get a “look” into our practices over the next year working with the intertwining energies from the Solar and Lunar cycles. For us, these include the Solstices and Equinoxes, the Cross Quarter Times and where we are on the monthly Lunar Cycle as well. We will also share from our Liturgy and a small Witchstone Reading. Hope you enjoy the new segments!
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today we have a hot topic and it’s more than a little bit controversial for a number of reasons. First, it features two men talking about women but don’t worry, this isn’t some barroom chat before a bachelor party. Instead, it’s an intelligent conversation centered around Barry Wren’s book Sex! (for females only)
Wren takes us on a journey through history, examining how our views on gender inequality were first formed and solidified in many cultures. His book also tackles a host of issues women have faced over the centuries—like sexual objectification, the value placed on young women, and male dominance. And yes, there are some statements in there that might make you bristle, like “Sexuality begins when the brain decides the body is ready” or “Female beauty lasts as long as she has ovarian eggs.” But before you get too fired up, remember the main goal: to shine a light on how we got here today by taking a peek into the past. So let’s have a look in the rearview mirror — and if we’re going to go back we might as well go all the way back to the beginning…
Barry Wren – The Garden of Eden that everybody hears about, that was the land which lay between the two major rivers running out of Turkey at that stage. And lots of people thought about it there. But in the myth that was developed, God planted plants and animals and fish and birds into that area there, and he then put Adam in there to look after the whole process. And Adam became very, very bored with what he was doing, and he wanted a companion. So God made a companion for him out of one of his ribs.
And her name was Eve. Did you hear him use the word Myth? I told you this was gonna be a bumpy ride. The story of Adam and Eve teaches us lots of important lessons like obedience to God, sin and sacrifice, good vs. evil, marriage and monogamy — to name a few and just to be clear I have no reason to believe that the story isn’t true but I think his point here is that the idea of women being subservient to men started here and we’ve taken it too literally, focused on only that point and distorted that element of the story over time to the detriment of women.
Barry Wren – Unfortunately, people still think about Adam and Eve, and Eve was the evil woman because she ate from the Tree of Knowledge. We all would love to get that Tree of Knowledge ourselves, but she ate from that and was then discarded from the whole Garden of Eden. That went down, and a lot of people lost their lives because that particular type of mythology persisted. Male dominance and women being at fault all the time. In my book, I’ve mentioned several instances like that, but I think that mythology is one of the biggest problems we have, is to look at reality rather than religion and myths which have persisted in these areas. I get a little upset about it sometimes when I think of how people’s lives are affected by myths rather than by truth.
Barry says gender inequality has deep roots in human history. It has been tied to cultural, religious, and legal systems for thousands of years. Religious texts from various traditions have put men in dominant positions.
Even today, despite making significant progress, the fundamental structures that support gender inequality remain intact. We’ve made some progress here in the states but women continue to face disparities in pay, representation, and rights worldwide and more interesting is the fact that not much has really changed.
Barry Wren – My real reason for looking at this is to look at the problem which has not changed over those three to four thousand years.
And he says a big part of that is simply due to the average Mans’ physical size. Tieing a person’s worth to their size seems kind of crazy but I guess it was a different time.
Barry Wren – Men are big and strong and dominant and were like that three or four thousand years ago. And women were small and rather passive. So they pushed the women around and said, you must do this or that. And the main reason that they had women in their society was to look after the men, to be really a servant to them. They were subjected to these people, but they also provided sexual opportunities for the men. And the men wanted to have mild infants born to follow them. So that started thousands of years ago and followed. And women were being taught that they had to follow those rather passive approaches. There’s very little difference even now in our present century. We find that a lot of men think that they’re stronger and better and should have a more dominant role in the household. And the end result is a lot of conflict. Sometimes women are beaten up. Sometimes women are actually killed by their partner because she’s not following what he wants. So life hasn’t really changed and all the problems are still there. I’m trying in the book to bring the thought that the discrepancy, the dissonance which occurs between men and women at present really has been exactly the same for the last four or five thousand years.
Research does show that men with lower levels of education and those that hold traditional views about gender roles, are the ones who have more negative attitudes toward women and those men are more likely to be abusive. Not in all cases. There are plenty of College educated wife beaters out there but he says sticking to outdated ideas about men being in charge, can increase the chances of abusive behavior.
Barry Wren – The main reason that they had women in their society was to look after the men, to be really a servant to them. They were subjected to these people, but they also provided sexual opportunities for the men. And the men wanted to have mild infants born to follow them. So that started thousands of years ago and followed and women were being taught that they had to follow those rather passive approaches.
Women will always be the ones that have babies. That’s just science but will pretty girls always be able to walk on water? I like to think that’s changing.
Barry Wren – You can look at the various stories that always have a young woman, a very attractive young woman, being very athletic and very attractive, and men fighting over her and having close contact with her. Occasionally, some of the men actually acquired one of those women and protected her until she became old and then dismissed her. So being young and attractive was the major thing which was happening in those years, and those women were worshipped. Men loved to have them. They were like a trophy that they had. Put them up on the pedestal for the period of time that they owned them.
Is that where we got the term “Trophy Wife”? — That’s another podcast entirely and since I’ve probably infuriated you enough with our look at history I won’t go into his thoughts on sex before the age of 18 because the past has changed there as well, largely due to the legal system. The book does go into a great deal of detail there emphasizing the need for more education. Anyway, we’re going to move on to Hormones and why beauty fades.
Barry Wren – That’s what happens when a woman enters the menopause. What happens is that she’s born at birth with about 2 million eggs in her two ovaries. She uses an awful lot of those eggs every time she menstruates. Eventually she runs out of those eggs, usually about the age of 45 or even up to 50. And the production of the hormones, there’s at least six or seven different hormones, but estradiol is the most important one that stimulates the tissue that makes a young woman grow into the beautiful young woman that we love so much. When the eggs run out from the ovary, so does the production of the hormones. So those special cells and organs begin to fade and become old and worn out. They’re not there, they don’t even function.
And while that clinical explanation can sound a bit depressing there is a silver lining. Wanna keep that youthful glow well into the post-menopausal years? Here’s a tip.
Barry Wren – Women can maintain their hormonal or cellular activity by taking the right hormones and that’s why gynecological endocrinologists are very important for them to see.
He says, pay a visit to an Endocrinologist, Gynecologists or even doctors who focus on anti-aging that offer HRT as part of their practice and have a discussion to see if there’s a treatment that works for you.
Barry Wren – Many of my female friends are taking hormonal therapy and they look just gorgeous. They’re marvellous. They’re in their 70s and 60s and some of them are even older than what they look marvellous, still on hormonal therapy.
Barry is a doctor after all so his book,Sex! Is subtitled For Women Only because it’s part history, part Hormonal Therapy but 100% women.
Barry Wren – I love women and I love to help them as much as I can. And I look back at the misuse by men of their power over women in those days. It’s changing and now women have so much power. Their sexuality is a powerful thing, as powerful as any man’s strength, muscular strength. But men still bash their women around, which is wrong.
He is not a fan of violence against women or trophy wives and he makes that clear. He’s also against women using their sexuality to make a living because while the right hormones can help prolong the process, beauty fades and a woman’s value should not be defined by her looks.
Barry Wren – Women should not ever be a commodity. They should be revered and loved and enjoyed because they are an individual in their own right. The males don’t own them and they should never be using them as a commodity to gain more money, more power, more whatever it might be.
And since this show is being produced on the eve of a major presidential election here in America I would be remiss if I didn’t include this final point…
Barry Wren – Right now we’ve got four or five major wars going on around the world. The people who instigated those wars are always the male and it’s the women that are now saying, stop this stupid war.
Just sayin’
The book is Sex! (For females only) by Barry Wren and it’s really for men and women or anyone who can appreciate a collection of stories and essays designed to reexamine and retell the events that led up to modern discussions about gender inequality. It’s available at Amazon and all the usual places online.
Barry Wren (Selling) I understand that it’s selling to people around the world. And I’m hoping it sells a lot. I need the money.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Welcome to the Best of How to Live a Fantastic Life. Dr. Allen Lycka is joined by Jabez LeBret, a dynamic entrepreneur whose journey from being a homeless teen to a successful business owner is truly inspiring.

If you’re asking yourself, “Is this all there is?”
Then, you’re in the right space.
When it comes to living your finest life, most people think it’s about trying harder, changing, or perfecting yourself to society’s standards.
Society convinces us that in order to succeed in our relationships, careers, and health, we need to search outside of ourselves.
That leads us to believe that we’re not worthy of more.
The truth is living your finest life is about becoming your most authentic self. And it’s closer than you think. I know because this is the work I do.
It happens when you decide to be bold and courageous, step outside the box, acknowledge your authenticity, and value what you offer to the world.
A life where time, money, and energy are abundant, allowing you to enjoy the things that truly matter.
A life rich with deeper connections and (even) more memorable experiences.
A life that’s custom-designed to fit YOUR DESIRES and aspirations.
Life happens FOR you! Your health, wealth, and love relationship take on new heights. The right people appear to support you and your BIG dreams. You find life-long fulfillment, joy, and a purpose. You become unapologetically you.
Your life, rich with meaning and depth, awaits.
Sound dreamy?! Let’s make it your reality…

The Crone and Sage are discussing the last Metaphysical Kernel of Thought they have to share with you. It covers the fact that walking The Path or any practice of Witchcraft requires you to do some learning first but then you have to get up off your ass and actually practice! Everyone’s experiences are their own and there are often not the words available (or in existence) that allow you to share them fully with others which is what makes Witchcraft experiential!. In our practices section, we talk about how we all need to work on personal patience and tolerance for others and ourselves. Finally, the Crone offers up a small spell for Patience Right Now as our Tip, Trick or Witchy Hint.
It has become an annual Seek Reality tradition for us at about this time of year to talk about the US Spiritist Federation as they plan for their annual United States Symposium. This year their 18th annual US Symposium will be held in Boston on September 21st, and its theme will be Life Through the Lens of Immortality. We are delighted to help them get the word out! And here again to talk about the Spiritist movement, which is a thriving spiritual movement based in Brazil, is Peter Hays. Peter works at Spiritist Group Love and Light in Newark, New Jersey. He is also the current Outreach Director of the United States Spiritist Federation, (USSF), and an active participant in the Tri-State Spiritist Federation (TSSF). Peter has published several children’s books with his wife, Beti Rozen, through their company, called Sem Fronteiras Press, and with other publishers in Brazil, Colombia, and the U.S. He has an extensive background in theatre, and he holds a Master of Fine Arts in Dramatic Writing from New York University. He currently also works in commercial real estate.

“People buy from people they know, like and trust. At the start of building a relationship with your buyer the only thing you can shoot for is ’Trust’. Building trust has to be very obvious from the very first contact you make with your buyer or you kill any chance of starting a dialogue.”– Michael deGroot

Sales have been my life for over four decades; I have lived by a code where sales for me means selling from love., care, and respect. In short, it means selling by building trust and earning the client’s loyalty. At the core, it is never about me; it’s always about the client and how I can support and help.
Today, my guest and I will discuss several “big ideas” that will help you develop strong, trust-based relationships with your prospects/customers, enabling you to sell more in the long run by selling less.

Welcome to the final episode of this series. I hope it has been meaningful for you. Boundaries in a mindful world must be able to express ourselves. To communicate our boundaries, we need to be aware of them. We can explore our boundaries and grow. When we expand our minds or imaginations, sparks of creativity ignite. We develop problem-solving skills and new or more effective ways of handling stress or anger. If we’ve been exposed to anger as a family value, for example, and the anger is expressed through shouting and throwing things, our boundaries for problem-solving are limited. We can learn to grow beyond expressing our anger through physically negative expressions and to learn how to express our anger with words, art, or exercise. I invite you to enjoy the release practice at the end of the podcast.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
In the course of doing the podcast I’ve been exposed to a number of different authors. If you’ve listened to more that one one these then you know how random the topics are. I like to say Newsgram is all about interesting people living their lives in interesting ways — and then writing a book about it.
Some of authors say writing their books was extremely easy, It just flowed out of them and for others it took many years but in the end it is a passion project and these projects are born from a deep dedication, they are the result of countless hours of commitment, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering love for their craft. The finished book is not just a product; it’s a testament to the author’s perseverance and the realization of their creative vision — it’s one of the things I enjoy most about this podcast and today we have an author passionate about Christianity and the need to pray for a better world.
When the world around us gets dark and scary, many of us turn to prayer. Life can get overwhelming and when we feel the weight of the world crushing us, or when the path ahead is lost in shadows we need a place to turn especially when we lose strength and want to give up.
Her Righteousness – I was hoping to impact the world with love. Mind you, the old world was built on prejudice, hate, and illusion. I’m still hoping to impact the world with love so that we can wash away the inappropriateness of the old world, so that we can all step into kinship, unity, freedom, and love. And love one another. It’s possible.
That is Ekhosuehi Ibie and she likes to be called “Her Righteousness”, She is author of a prayer book entitled Spiritual Empowerment. She says while it is about trying to bring a message of love to the world, she first started writing prayers as a way to fend off personal attacks.
Her Righteousness – They were wondering about my difference. They said I was different from everybody else, and they wanted to know why I was different. I had no control over this because I didn’t create myself. So while they were attacking me, I started writing prayers. The prayers were like a counterattack against their attack, if you like.
And in no time at all she had written quite a few prayers.
Her Righteousness – Gradually I realized I had a heap load of them, a heap load of prayers.
The full title of her book is Spiritual Empowerment: Using Your Authority as a Christiana book about empowering believers to be good Christians.
Her Righteousness – God is in control. God has empowered me to pray for a new world, a new world order in which God’s reign, the holy reign, will come into being.
So she did, back in 2016
Her Righteousness – I was told, the Holy Spirit told me to re-publish the book. When I re-published it, I re-published it with a company in America and it was just under us. I don’t know if it was made public, but it was just there, quiet. The Holy Spirit advised me to re-publish it.
And now her newly released book works even harder to repair the breach between light and darkness. In it are prayers for all of life’s circumstances and it offers the promise of freedom.
Her Righteousness – This book applies to everybody. Anybody can read it and experience their freedom, their freedom from secrecy, freedom from satanic captivity, their entire freedom. It’s a book suitable for everybody, whether you are a Christian or a non-Christian. If you believe in freedom, you believe in freedom, you know that you want to be free, you are honest enough to know that there was something wrong in the old world. Then it’s a book that you want to read in order to step into the new reign. We are already in the holy reign and yes, God is in control. There are pockets of resistance to the holy reign, but they will die out by the grace of God.
She says hers is a book that will help you to find the strength to face down the darkness in your life and face it with the power of light.
Her Righteousness – I discovered that I have a prayer anointing, that God answers my prayers. And so this was an added impetus to encourage people to fight for their rights as Christians whenever they encounter any confrontations with darkness. Because as a Christian, you are scared of darkness. So we should not be afraid of them. They should be afraid of us. That’s what I’m trying to tell the average Christian.
Whether we face personal struggles or navigate through the chaos of a confusing world, prayer offers a connection to something greater, a source of hope and inner peace that helps us find our way through the darkest times. Her Righteousness says, fighting for your rights as a Christian is important and it’s also important to fight for a better world; one that is filled with less hate and more love.
Can a book of prayers can single-handedly bring about a global transformation, liberating us from ‘satanic captivity’ and secrecy — that might seem like wishful thinking but you have to start somewhere right?
If you want to learn more about Her Righteousness and the book Spiritual Empowerment: Using Your Authority as a Christianwe’ve put a link to sites that sell the book in the shows description for you, and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from webtalkradio.com.

Our guests today, here on Seek Reality for the 24th time, are Carol and Mikey Morgan. Mikey is a Sixth-Level Being who last had lived on earth in the 1600s, and who wanted so much to help us now that he chose to take a voluntary twenty-year lifetime that ended in 2007 so he could speak to us in the voice of a modern American 20-year-old. So now he answers our questions about the afterlife and the greater reality from the sixth level of the afterlife, the level just below the Source, through his mother of his most recent earth-lifetime, Carol Morgan. Roberta first met Carol a few years after Carol had lost her son, Mikey, in an auto accident. Carol knew nothing about the afterlife at all, but Roberta tested Mikey’s knowledge exhaustively, and he is exactly what he claims to be. He is a very exalted being, amazingly enough, who has achieved the level of the afterlife that is just below the Source level. When he answers our questions, he often adds extra information, which is also accurate. Roberta says that she has never in a dozen years seen him make a mistake!

“Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create” – Jana Kingsford
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/TRGjvDLC12oCheck Out These Highlights:
I’m often asked how I have created balance while running and growing a business, especially when my kids were babies. The simple answer is that it wasn’t easy. The better answer is that even though it wasn’t easy, it depended on how my husband and I managed our work and home lives.
It was a team effort for us. When I would go into heavy work mode and not come up for air, he’d come into my office, shut my computer off, and tell me to come upstairs to hang out with him and the kids. After five minutes, I would always look at him and thank him because he knew what I needed more than I did. I believe that creating such balance takes deliberate strategies and working together.

Yesterday it was really raining here where the Crone lives and she talks about going out for a walk in the rain (which may not be for everybody) but it gave her a chance to wash away some of the emotional overload she has been dealing with. The idea of the walk got her thinking about other ways you can use the weather and whatever else you can think of to work some personal magick on yourself without a whole lot of time or effort to create a ritual or even some small spell. Think about what you might try for yourself for a quick change of attitude or perspective!

Being interested and curious about what our clients need today and in the future is critical to our sales success. So, how do we show that we care, are curious, and are interested in helping our ideal client? One way is to use resources available to us to spotlight our genius, experience, and level of care. One resource that I see either underused or not used correctly is LinkedIn.
It’s a powerful resource; too many people use it, and it comes across as icky and pushy.

As we grow and learn about ourselves, we learn about our boundaries.
Our boundaries cultivated by our values, beliefs, and experiences may reflect a false image of who we are. Learning about our boundaries helps us communicate and understand how our boundaries mold our personalities. Through this process, we get the opportunity to be non-judgmental with ourselves. We can expand our boundaries’ positive qualities and minimize negativity. Join me in this episode, where you can explore how your boundaries shape your personality. Healthy boundaries and barriers are essential. Healthy boundaries and barriers protect us from danger. Taking action to avoid barriers and boundaries snowballing into generational prejudices and educational stagnation is also important. Enjoy the short mindfulness practice at the end of the podcast.

The Author
Peter Boaz Jones was born Klaus Jurgen Clodt in Albrechts, Germany towards the end of WW2. In 1948 he moved with his family to the UK. A German name at that time would have made life extremely difficult for him, so for all the obvious reasons his name was changed to Peter Jones. What it is today, came about by using his father’s last name, as a middle name, as his bank in the 90s requested he use one. When I look at Peter’s life, I think it would be fair to say that he has pursued a variety of Christian denominations some of whom he no longer has an affiliation to, and others still breathe Christian values that are important to him. Similarly, when you look at his working life, he has again dabbled his toes into a cross section of professions, accountancy to HGV driver, just to name but two of them. I think it would be open-minded of me to say that Peter has walked many paths of interest in his life, but the one overriding factor that has been constant throughout his time on this planet has been the Bible and what that book has revealed to him I think I can justifiably say forms the basis of his highly interesting book that we are about to reveal.
So, let’s take the latch off the door and enter Peter Boaz Jones’ world of Christian thinking, as we uncloak the contents of this very absorbing book.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/oSpPjggurJMThe Book
This is a well-executed and cultivated submission, showing how well the four gospels really do work well in relation to each other depicting the life and ministry of Jesus, despite their individual formations that some in the Christian communities see and judge as slightly being at odds with each other. What Peter has successfully achieved here by drawing attention to the similarities and differences in each gospel is giving the reader differing angles to consider and contemplate on, sufficient to want them to delve further into the book to ascertain what really is at the heart of his ideological thinking.
When you open the book apart from the dedication, acknowledgements, notes, introduction and appendices sections there are fifty-four wonderfully compiled chapters. Now in this interview we are not going into all aspects of the book, but as a means of giving you a flavour as to what you can expect the following chapters will be openly discussed, they are:
Chapter 2: The Annunciations
Chapter 5: Jesus Prepares for his Mission
Chapter 8: From Galilee to Jerusalem
Chapter 29: Hypocrisy of Some of the Hierarchy
Chapter 34: The Kingdom of God
Chapter 43: The Last Supper
Chapter 45: MT Olives and Gethsemane
Chapter 51: Jesus Fulfils Scripture
Enjoy the book is all I say, as Peter Boaz Jones takes you on a Christian journey with a twist.

https://youtu.be/YosC6-3cD9ICheck Out These Highlights:
When I started my business, my boys were babies. I wanted to control my time and earning power on my terms. I began by working three days per week while they were young, allowing me to control my time as a business owner and mom until they entered school.

So, for the ladies listening, you will be inspired to believe you can have it all. For my dudes listening, you will be inspired to support your wives and daughters to be all they can be! Buckle up as we dive into growing a business, being a great role model for what’s possible for our kids, and the reality of having it all!

Originally Published June 14, 2022. Today, we reconnect with an old friend to delve into his journey, insights, and extraordinary life! Ken Van Liew, the creator of the Modern Wealth Building Formula, initially tailored it for real estate but soon found it applicable across various fields.
Ken’s story is one of resilience, overcoming adversity, and continuous improvement. He and Dr. Lycka met years ago at Steve Harrison’s National Publicity Summit, both embarking on their journeys as authors. Starting his professional career as a civil engineer, Ken earned two master’s degrees and built an impressive career in real estate. A pivotal moment in his journey came during the World Trade Center tragedies, prompting him to reflect deeply on his life’s path and impact.
Ken Van Liew began his career as a civil design engineer, balancing twins and two master’s degrees, with significant debt and a desire to serve others. Sixteen years later, he developed a $17M, 72,000 square foot, 113-bed assisted living facility. He then embarked on a Staten Island waterfront project, which was halted due to the World Trade Center tragedies. This pause led him to reflect on his goals and impact. Ken has syndicated and developed over a billion dollars in high-profile real estate, wholesaled 137 deals in one year as co-founder of Flipping USA, and created the Modern Wealth Building Formula, empowering thousands of investors over 20 years. A real estate titan, Ken has influenced the New York skyline and regularly speaks at NYU Real Estate Institute and Rutgers University. He is a best-selling author, a stage magic enthusiast, married for over 30 years, and the proud father of three successful children.

“The confidence you have going into the sales call will determine the level of profit you have coming out.” – Mark Hunter
Being in sales for many decades, I have had my share of prospecting wows. Sometimes, I didn’t feel like prospecting. Getting motivated to make cold calls, follow-up COI calls, and warm prospect calls to meet my revenue goals has not always been easy.
During today’s show, my guest and I will unpack the challenge of Sales Call Reluctance and the emotional hesitation to prospect and promote. We’ll dive into the top 5 of the 16 types of Call reluctance and discuss the techniques to prospect confidently and consistently. After today’s show, you will be inspired to get your “ask” in gear.

During our podcast, we will explore different boundaries and barriers, and I hope you find the information educational and helpful to stimulate the desire to release, let go, and explore beyond your barriers. I’m going to talk about how emotional barriers cause mental blocks, which prevent people from performing the best they can be. I will explore informal obstacles that prevent a person from growing mentally, physically, or spiritually. Sometimes, a person may not recognize they are around or experiencing barriers because their lifestyle or environment has adapted to the lifestyle of the barrier. We will explore workplace barriers and other social barriers. At the end of the session, you’ll have an opportunity to participate in a practice that brings recognition to release the grip of internal mental barriers.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Sam – I hope you are ready for adventure because today we are going deep into Australia to the magical town of Walgett where I will introduce you to Irene Holmes – a mystery writer:
Irene – Just like Uncle Sherlock. With a name like that I have to write murder mysteries right?
Sam – Can you tell we’re in for a bit of fun today? Before we get to the Murder and mayhem let’s set the scene because I think it’s important to know where an artist finds inspiration so if you’ll indulge me it’s time for Sam’s Travelog!
If you’re a creative person like Irene, Walgett is basically paradise. It sits nestled at the intersection of the Barwon (Barwin) and Namoi (Namoi) Rivers and the view is spectacular. It is a very small town rich in culture and community. It’s in Northern New South Wales — which is about 400 miles from Sydney (642 Kilometers) in fact it’s an eight hour drive from Sydney, Canberra and Brisban — not to get to in fact it’s a place where four-wheeled drive vehicles are recommended bot not required. Once you get there you can enjoy a hot bath from a 2 million year old basin. Natural pressure sends the water to the surface through an artesian bore where it maintains a constant temperature of 102-104 degrees.
Are you starting to see it? Sounds pretty amazing right?
Walgett’s most famous resident is the renowned Aboriginal country music legend Jimmy Little, who lived here in the 1950s and sadly passed away in 2012. If you were to visit Walgett you’d see the beautiful mural that bears his likeness painted on a water tower. You can also pay your respects if you’re a fan because he is buried there. Jimmy Little is a story unto itself so perhaps we’ll go there on another show but for now suffice it to say that there’s something in the water in Walgett that inspires creativity.
Irene – Yeah, I did an arts degree, printmaking, art history, drawing. They were the core ones, core units. And then I did an elective, which was ceramics. And my husband at that time was also interested in ceramics. So we started our own little pottery in the back garden. And then with some other friends, I opened a gallery and sold our work through the gallery. And I loved it. I really did enjoy the creativity and the solace really. It’s quite a soothing thing to be doing. You don’t have any fingernails, mind you. They disappeared after about week one.
Sam – Ceramics is not a good hobby for those who like to stay well manicured. In addition to being a wife and professional potter, Irene Holmes is also a mother a recruiter and a teacher.
Irene – Well, being a teacher, you’re always a storyteller and a bit of a performer. And I could get kids engaged in stories. And I thought, well, I may as well write them down. So I was sitting and waiting for a friend one day. I was inside a little cafe and she was on her way to meet me. And I could see her coming up the street. But because of the reflections on the outside of the window, she couldn’t see me inside. And the way my creative, quirky, somewhat strange brain starts to work, I was sitting there and thinking, oh, I wonder what a criminal or a killer, how could they use that, see the other person but not be seen themselves. And so my little brain started to tick it all over. And that’s how this one started. That’s how this book started, really.
Sam – Interesting, feels a bit voyeuristic but that is the Genesis of “Reflections” her new mystery novel and like a polished window there are all kinds of reflections but none are more powerful than our own personal reflections and recollections.
If you’re a fan of who-done-it’s I think you’ll like this one. Here is the description from her website — In this gripping narrative, deception, threats, and a relentless quest for truth intertwine with the ordinary rhythms of daily existence. Will justice ultimately prevail?
Irene – Okay, well, it is a murder mystery. Okay, that’s no big surprise there.
Sam – Right but now we are going to leave Walgett Australia and go back in time to 1926 England where the story is set.
Irene – I’ve set it in England 1926 ish, because England and Europe and the whole world really was just picking up the pieces after the First World War, horrific time. And everybody in the book, well, everybody in the world was affected by that in some way or another. But in 1926, people were trying to put their families back together and villages and towns and the economy and all of that.
It’s a quiet, more gentle time where good manners are expected. And that’s just a social norm. People valued their privacies. No one being pushed around by a little telephone in your back pocket kind of thing. So that’s why I chose where I chose. But there was also the influence of the Spanish flu raging through England. And that does have a little tiny link with Lady Gregson. Good old Matilda. She’s a good joke.
She’s okay. Conveniently dies early in the story, which is fine. And then the snowball effect happens after her death. And it’s a fat death in her house. She was an old lady. She was ill. So it was expected, not friendly, but expected that she was going to die. So there was no big deal about that, really. But everybody in the house, of course, is affected by that.
And people in the village, the way you drop a pebble in a pond and all those little wrinkles go out to the edge. Well, that was what her death did to the household and to the village. Those little ripples started to wander off to the edge of the villages and houses.
Sam – So that’s where our story is set and why it’s set there. Let’s have a look at the cast of characters.
Irene – So you get to meet her nephew that she’d never really met before, but she didn’t have any male heirs to hand down her estate. And that’s the way it works in the British or did at that time in the British system. You had to go to a male heir. He didn’t have one. So young James was sort of popped into the picture there. And he’s a nice young lad. Well, 30, and we learned about him and how he grows from a business, a young business partner in London and how he grows into the man of the manor kind of thing and how he deals with people.
We also meet some of the staff in the household, two housemaids in particular, Lily and Ruby. They’re quite young, like Lily’s about 18 thereabouts and Ruby’s a bit younger than that. Good old country girls from Yorkshire, not really been anywhere in the world. And we watched them grow into one of them, quite a strong, courageous young woman rather than a little boppy housemaid. And then we get to know Ruby’s a bit more strong and a bit more feisty than everyone saw her as being initially.
Then we meet Mr. James’s intended Dorothy Bosworth. She’s not aristocratic, but just a tiny step down from there. But is she really as sweet and lovely as she presents herself? I love it.
And of course, you meet the nurse because she’s been hired as a contract nurse to look after Lady Gregson, knowing what the end result was going to be. But she’s efficient. She’s effective. She’s very professional, but she has her own secrets that affect decisions she makes from her introduction through to the end of the book.
Sam – Now that you’ve been formally introduced to these intriguing characters, each with their own reflections, it’s time to crack open the book and find out if it really is a captivating read or not — and keep in mind it is a mystery so we can’t take you into anything that will spoil the story for you.
Irene – Okay, now this is the part sort of just leading into Lady Gregson’s funeral which is happening tomorrow and James has gone to the train station to pick up his mother, Maud. All right, as he says to her, why did you leave your arrival until now, the night before the funeral, on the very last train? Ah, well, for several reasons, dear. You see, people in our position should do their grieving in private, don’t you think? Not make a spectacle in front of the villagers and the whole county.
We must maintain our position. And besides, I needed to be sure that Winifred had everything in order before I left the house, you see, to be sure that nothing goes amiss while I’m away. Mother, you will only be gone for one week and Winifred’s been running the house for more than 30 years. I hardly think she needs any extra instructions. Also, mother, you don’t live in this county and you don’t have a position to maintain. Oh, only one week, dear. Hmm, well, perhaps. You never know in these situations, do you? She asked with a smug smile. Oh God, thought James. That does not bode well. I wonder if father really did die of a fever or if he just held his breath long enough until his brain popped just to escape from her. I wouldn’t be surprised.
I love it. Maud was settled in the back of the seat Now that she was settled in the back seat of the car with James, she leaned across and patted his hand in a conspiratorial, domineering manner, saying, Now, I don’t wish to be indelicate, dear, but now that your position has changed and you’re a man of property and wealth, you really do need to start thinking about marrying. A gentleman who owns significant estate really does need a wife.
James just stared at her mouth agape, incredulous. You don’t mean to sound indelicate. Do you think perhaps we might at least lay your own surviving cousin in the ground before you start taking over my household and my staff and my private life and reordering the whole county as well, I imagine. He was really angry and loathing his mother with each additional word. Of course, dear, she smiled again, completely ignoring his anger. There’ll be plenty of time for addressing all those things after the funeral. Next week will be enough time to start. Really, mother, you are too much. Quite horrid, actually.
Sam – And there you have it, Reflections.
Irene Holmes – It’s not the standard formula of sex and violence, because a good story doesn’t need those things to make it a good story. It’s not the boy meets girl and everybody’s happy or the detective comes along and solves it all and takes it out of the hands of the characters. It’s the story where the characters are in charge of all the unveiling of information and putting things together. So I’d like the readers to think, well, that was a different way of writing a murder mystery. So, yeah, those kinds of things are what I’d like them to take away.
Sam – A tale of mystery and human drama, intrigue and some moral ambiguity to keep things interesting. Will justice prevail?

Ireneholmes.com, spelled the same way Sherlock does it, and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today we’re going to be talking about attacks on women. Physical abuse is the most prevalent form of violence against women. I found a stat that said over 26% of women have experienced “intimate partner violence”, and most of that is physical or sexual abuse. I also found a stat that said Less than 40 per cent of the women who experience violence don’t seek help, which is a shame but I want to get to today’s guest so let’s start there and then we’ll explore the other — and there are many other — types of attacks and I think some of them will surprise you.
According to Danny Goju, author of the book Roar of the Tigress (for Women Only), Most women are attacked because they either leave their guard open or are unaware of the potential dangers; and this allows the attacker to succeed so one way to protect yourself is by having some basic knowledge of self-defense.
Danny Gee Goju – You see, in Martial Arts, I’m used to walking with confidence because I can fight and I’m used to not fearing anybody so I just thought what about those who can’t fight or have no way of defending themselves so what I’ve been teaching my students is yes, you can learn how to fight but the most important thing is spotting the sign before it happens so you don’t need to fight.
That is Danny Gee Goju and he knows a thing or two about fighting and the confidence that comes from knowing how to do It.
Danny Gee Goju – I write songs as a hobby and then I’m actually a Martial Artist. I don’t know if you understand, I’m what they call a Grand Master. The highest level of Martial Arts, put it that way.
A Grand Master is someone you don’t want to mess around with and it’s the combination of skills he just mentioned that intrigued me. Danny is an interesting guy. He is a very humble GrandMaster with a 10th Degree Black Belt and a 10th Degree Red Belt but he believes that he is only as good as the next workout.
I think most anyone who teaches self-defense would agree with him that spotting an attack before it happens is a crucial aspect of good self-defense. Awareness and prevention strategies are effective defense techniques and that is kind of the point to this show because not all attacks are physical.
Danny Gee Goju – You have to spot these signs before they happen and the way to stop it happening is to know the man before you get into any relationship with him. When you first meet a man, just study him. Does he order you around? Does he say please, thank you, sorry? These little things become bigger things after five or ten years of marriage. Plus, he now has a ring on his finger so he feels he owns you but you knew he was a bully before you married him.
Knowing what you’re dealing with is crucial because emotional, mental, sexual, and financial abuses are happening all the time.
and he says that by understanding these different forms of abuse you can stop an attack long before it ever happens.
Danny Gee Goju – Now people are finding new ways to hurt a woman and the reason they are doing that is a lot of men feel that, basically, that their balls are being cut off. Women are on the up. They’ve got nothing left. All that is left is their strength and as a woman you need to be aware that this threat is there.
Yes, some men are highly competitive and they can be made to feel emasculated. I’m not one of them but our society is full of people who feel like the world should be a certain way and when its not, it makes them uncomfortable and can bring out their dark side . Change is inevitable but accepting change is not.
Danny Gee Goju – The Attacks on women, everybody seems to zoom in on the physical but what about emotional attacks, mental attacks, sexual attacks happening in the Homs which nobody talks about and another thing about financial attacks which is actually new because women are starting to make a lot of money and so now there are certain kinds of men that are targeting women for their money. Beating up a woman is dining out slowly.
Yea, Financial abuse is also controlling a woman’s ability to make money, to use it as she sees fit and to maintain and control her own financial resources. Being financially literate pays dividends.
Danny Gee Goju – Ha, for example you see a woman at the bar, a guy comes down, let me buy you a drink. Yea, no. I’d rather have the money. You have to keep that sense of humor. nNot get annoyed, you know get out. Leave me alone. You have to smooth your way out of it.
Did you get all that? A man asks a woman if he can buy her a drink and she says, I’d rather have the money. He’s kidding but if you do it with a smile, a bit of well played sarcasm can go a long way to keeping your control. Here’s another example.
Danny Gee Goju – He takes you out for dinner and he’s forgotten his wallet in the house, I’ll pay next time.
And when next time comes around if he doesn’t pay you gotta let him go.
Danny Gee Goju – Even if he borrows a dollar from your purse without telling you, you can’t take my money out. Oh it’s only a dollar. No it’s not only a dollar you crossed that boundary into my world but women say nothing because it’s only a dollar but that dollar could become five dollars in the future it could be thousands and the next thing you know, why should I go to work when my wife is making money and a lot of men now are playing golf when the women are working. Women have gone through hundreds of years of subjugation. They’ve finally gotten feminism to give them a bit of self respect with equal pay. Even with equal pay my view is that it shouldn’t be equal pay. Women should get more than men. Not because I like women or they deserve more. They should get more because men have to feel what it feels like to earn less. Just for a year or two every company should say that when a woman starts she gets more than the men in that sector, just for a year or two so that the men now feel like oh, this is what it feels like to get less and they have more empathy toward equal pay.
Danny says many women today are not being treated with the respect they deserve and it’s because they are strong. Side note here — I just watched Titanic and it reminded me of a different time. The days of “Women and Children first”, does it feel like those days are gone? In his book Danny says there’s a reason for that and it’s because the modern woman is now seen as much more than just a child-bearer; she has become as competitive as the modern man. This shift in gender roles has caused women to lose some of the respect they deserve from men.
I realize this is a highly debatable subject but that’s what makes it so interesting. One thing he suggests is that women stay strong and take pride in their femininity no matter what. He even wrote a song about it.
Danny Gee Goju – Danny talks about the song he wrote and we hear a snippet to enforce the message. I wrote the song because with the books If you hear the song, it’s to take pride in my femininity. That’s how I want every woman to be. It’s like having that song singing Long ago Now I’m me, you know. I’m proud of being a woman. I’m proud of who I am. Yes. I don’t like what you do if you don’t do this or if you do this. We’re over. You have to have that line. And that is, that’s what, if you remember, in the middle of the song is that leave me alone, I’m on my own. You can’t force me to go with you. You know, I’ve seen it. When a club closes in the night, somebody lets go out the door. I know I’m going to go with you. I didn’t come with you, why should I go with you?
Communication also plays an important role.
Danny Gee Goju – Not all men about. But they all have been tailored to […]you because every woman is different. So what you would want in a man could be something different. But you have to let him know what you want. Don’t expect him to already know it. You know, I love you, but I don’t like the way you were drunk last night and tried to kiss me in public. You know, I didn’t like it, so please don’t do that again. You are nice. The next time, look, you’re doing it again. If it happens again we’re over.
That’s the line in the sand and you have to stick to it. The book is Called Roar of the Tigress (For Women Only) and it’s all about prevention which is only possible if you are aware of what needs to be prevented in the first place.
Danny Gee Goju – That’s why I say for women only. It’s for anybody, really, but I say for women only because you need to be aware.
If you can spot the signs that lead up to an attack you can take steps to avoid it and keep it from happening in the first place.
Danny Gee Goju is a Martial Arts Grand Master. He is thethe Founder and Chief Instructor of African Goju andSouth American Goju and now author of the book Roar of the Tigress. To learn more about Danny I would encourage you to visit his website where you can see a video of him being run over by a truck! Seriously, it’s a stunt he calls the “Car on the stomach stunt”where he lays down and what looks like a Ford Bronco runs over him – definitely not something you wanna try at home. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com

This book is a charming story about a family of geese. Gilda Goose and her husband Glen Gander have a nest in a maple tree on Timmy’s Pond. The story begins with three goslings who have hatched, Meeme, Shuely, and Freely and three eggs still in the nest that haven’t hatched.
The story takes the goose family through many of the same issues that human families face such as safety of their nest, boundaries where young goslings should and should not go, as well as life lessons for the family. It’s a delightful book filled with characters like Mister Emerald Greeny Heron and Wendel the Blue Wind Breeze Blower.
The book is a perfect bedtime story book, but also offers many opportunities for teaching young children about nature. Parents and grandparents could expand on the themes about family. The characters lend themselves to art projects. Also exploring the differences between a duck and a goose.
The author offers three main takeaways from the book:
- Don’t belittle others.
- Don’t talk loudly in public. It disturbs others.
- Be patient. Victory comes soon after the storm.
https://www.amazon.com/Gildas-Glens-Geese-Timothy-Powell-ebook/dp/B07FY8TCQR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3KDWLK5R62INU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Z4aMkmib8ZAWsC89BykZrA.eYdXqZvC6CtCvKhaOU5rYHiB0zgV1prHQ8toCadXHks&dib_tag=se&keywords=9781984541123&qid=1714699525&sprefix=%2Caps%2C635&sr=8-1
The book is a well-researched and scholarly presentation of The Gospel of the Four(Mathew, Mark, Luke, John). It shows how all four texts parallel each other intrinsically without the anomalies frequently and erroneously mentioned by many even devoted believers. It is a complete synchronization of the Synoptic Gospels with the Gospel of John, which takes account of all the relevant arguments relating to this particular subject.
The author carefully identifies and distinguishes differences and similarities in the four narrative accounts of the life and ministry of Jesus. He provides passages in quotation and chapter and verse references revealing the fact that Jesus made several different visits to towns in Galilee and Judea, purged the temple on two occasions and gave the Sermon on the Mount more than once. An examination of the timing and nature of the miracles also provides fresh insight into that aspect of the ministry of Jesus.
This is a considerable work of New Testament scholarship, which will surely stimulate Christian scholars and layman in their search for additional truth. The mass of detail and cross referencing should not act as a deterrent to the general Christian reader because the author has taken great care to present his argument and postulations in a coherent and accessible format and style. Regardless whether readers agree or disagree with some or all of the author’s assertions, this work will undoubtedly help some to find new truth.
The author wishes no more than to shed further light and help, “…to give knowledge of salvation to His (God’s) people by the remission of sins. Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the Sunrise from on High has visited us. To give light to them who sit in the darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace” (Luke 1:77-79).

The Author
Her Righteousness Ekhosuehi Ibie is a Nigerian lady living in London in the UK, she is a Christian who has been in confrontation with the kingdom of darkness for over twenty years. She is a strong Christian who genuinely believes in the power of God, due largely to the fact that darkness is afraid of her, she was able to counter all their false accusations with the word of God. She decided to write prayers while under attack. As a result, she has a prayer for almost every situation in life. She has a prayer anointing and has been using her gift to make a difference privately and internationally. This is one area in which darkness has attacked her the most, by wrestling with her prayers to disprove them and coming in between herself and her daughter to disprove her prayers to her daughter. Ekhhosuehi was shocked by the extent of the unity of forces of darkness against Christians. One of the strongmen she came to know revealed to Ekhosuehi that darkness attacks Christians to confuse them. To discredit the Bible and draw people away from God. However, Ekhosuehi did not let them discourage her especially when they threatened her daughter. The plight of darkness is the same as Christ said in The New Testament, to steal, kill and destroy. However, God has proven over and over again that He is above all gods and Powers.

This prayer book is a collection of powerful, insightful and purposeful spiritual messages. Some of the prayers are reflective, others are thought-provoking, but they cover a large area of everyday life dealing with the forces of darkness that collude with evil to distract, hide and confuddle those seeking a more righteous Christian path to the true meaning of the Lord’s reign. Darkness and evil verses light and the truth with spiritual intuition is at the very core of this insightful prayer book of Christian substance.
When you look at the prayer book which took some considerable time for the author to compile, you’ll see that Her Righteousness has grouped the meaningful prayer under eight categories which are laid out as follows:
Family Prayers
Prayers for Health and Wellbeing
Marriage and Troubled Marriages
Activating Angelic Assistance
Prayers for the Day and Night
Prayers for Spiritual Warfare
General Prayers
Prayers for the Nations
A note from the author is equally a significant and essential part of this book.

The Author
Dr Barry Wren has had a distinguished medical career in Australia operating in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. His later years in the profession saw him working in the field of gynaecological endocrinology particularly around the area of hormonal changes in older women and the impact those changes had on those women. Broadly speaking his work in this critical and important area of medicine earned him one of Australia’s highest decorated awards “The Australia Medal.” His work and commitment to his area of expertise led to a professorship and has taken him to many far-flung places across the globe. This glittering career stemmed from very humble beginnings on a farm, (Sheep station) I believe they call them in Australia, sitting at home with his three siblings around the kitchen table under the watchful eye of his mother who was determined to ensure that the postal lessons were done before working on the farm with his father. The days of no electricity, no radio, limited phone access and the nearest neighbours with children of a similar age being eight kilometres made for a happy childhood but equally a very restricted childhood, but that was rural life in the 1930’s in New South Wales, Australia. Can you image a ten-year-old today having no smart phone in their hand and no wi-fi connection, life wouldn’t be worth rolling out of bed for. What a change!!!
At fourteen Barry was selected to attend a proper school in Sydney, an agricultural school. From there Barry aspired to Sydney University and on a whim, he chose medicine eventually specialising in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Thirty-nine years as consultant gynaecologist at The Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney opened his eyes as to how women in general were being treated by men and society. Dr Barry quickly learnt that there was more to be a gynaecologist than just being a doctor who dealt with births and medical complications and issues. Barry has written numerous books and countless papers on the menopause, so this latest book of his ‘Sex! (For Females Only) is another masterpiece for him to proudly display on the bookshelf.
So, lets turn our attention to the book, but first I must get him off the golf course to talk about it.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/arr03FwgyZEThe Book
This book is an anthology written to re-examine the chronological events that have evolved over time to bring about today’s social exchange of views in respect to female gender inequality. Dr Barry takes us back thousands of years to explore how man then perceived how a woman should be viewed in society and equally how women positioned themselves in that same civilization, compared to how a woman’s position in the wider community is regarded today. The path has been slow and imbalanced as different cultures and communities have adopted different stances. The more liberally minded nations have moved at a far faster pace than some of the moreover far right ultra conservative sovereign states, who many in the world today still consider have along way to go on the road of social and political emancipation.
The book is short in stature, no more than seventy odd pages, but what it lacks in size it certainly doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the content and the brilliance of the writing seen, something you would rightly expect from a highly educated and professional author like Dr Barry G Wren.
When you open the book the contents page reveals fourteen short powerful chapters, those chapters are headed up as follows:
Sex! (for females only)
The Heritage of Sex
Sex Politics
Sex Education
Sex for Sale
Sex- Is It Lawful?
Sex-Historical Mythology
Sex and Mythology
Sex Hormones
Sex- Significance of Hormone Receptors
Sex, Myths, and Creation
Sex and Menopause
Sex-Menopause
Sex- Gender Dissonance
A powerful and insightful read is how I would describe this book.

Thank you, Dr Barry Wren AM FRSN for giving me the wonderful opportunity of interviewing you about your insightful book. I wish you every success with it.
Boundaries can help people feel safe and in control, leading to healthy relationships. Boundaries can also help people build trust, safety, and respect in their relationships. Setting healthy boundaries can also help people lower stress, increase life satisfaction, and improve their self-esteem. Self-made boundaries that prevent growth create barriers. (i.e., boundaries made because of lack of experience or knowledge from families or culture). Negative self-talk learned from toxic social interactions or social media may have been a passive form of abuse to control others’ personal growth.
Barriers delineate the separation of geographical areas. On the same note, emotional barriers are mental blocks that can prevent people from expressing their thoughts and feelings openly. They can also affect how people interpret others’ behavior, impacting how they form arguments. Emotional barriers can stem from a variety of sources, including fear, anxiety, anger, past experiences, or personal beliefs. They can also be positive, such as happiness. Ignorance can also be a barrier.
In this episode, I hope you will join me as we explore using barriers as platforms to excel in our limitations and as steps to climb toward new heights of calmness and creativity. Allow me to guide you in practicing releasing negative forces while being aware of your inner positive strength.

Our wonderful guest, who is with us today for the third time, is Brenda Reiss. Brenda is dedicated to helping people overcome obstacles that hold them back from living life to its fullest by guiding them through a special 5-Step Forgiveness Process. She says that self-forgiveness helped her to transition out of victimhood and into the life that she was meant to live. Brenda has experienced these obstacles firsthand, in the form of toxic relationships, eating disorders, and anxiety, which can consume everyday life when problems like these are allowed to control our lives. Brenda has developed a very successful forgiveness coaching practice, and she has written a great little book called Forgive Yourself. It’s short, and it’s easy to understand, and Roberta thinks that everyone should read it! As Roberta says, forgiveness of others is always the gift that we give to ourselves! And it can be the greatest gift that we can give to ourselves, no matter how hard it may be. And many people don’t even realize that the core problems at the center of their lives can have to do with things for which they are blaming themselves, so self-forgiveness may in your case be something that you especially need to learn.

To make your email marketing efforts successful, one of the major components is building your list. Essentially, we are always doing two things: fueling our email marketing “machine” with leads and working to improve the conversion rate of our machine (through improving our messaging and leaning into relationship-based marketing messages).
One of the more common ways to fill your list is through having a lead magnet.
I truly enjoy having marketing experts on my show; sales and marketing are very different. Since I’m no expert in Marketing strategies, I always learn a tip or two or three from my guests on this topic.
Lead generation is critical for keeping our pipelines full so we can continue to connect and help our ideal clients using an effective sales process. Leads come in, and if our sales process aligns with our marketing message, sales come out.

The Crone is here to remind you that there are times when we actually need to “schedule” time for the magickal in our lives. Not those daily practice things that only take a few minutes to do, which she has scheduled sometimes as reminders on her phone, but those important ritual and or personal times where we really need to do something magickal. We can think about making time to do ritual, but often the time comes and goes or we think we can get to it later and the mundane continues to have priority. Why not actually schedule some of those magickal times right into your mundane calendar and treat them as the most important upcoming appointment or event? We all know that we get all sorts of personal benefits by doing ritual and we can get rid of all that personal mundane guilt when we miss doing it. Our magickal practices are just as important as that concert at school or going to the dentist to get our teeth cleaned. Now you have permission to block out that period of time, set it aside, and really take the time to enjoy ritual because you have made the time available to yourself.

In this episode of Breaking the Cycle of Over Drinking with Dr. Sherry Price, we are joined by Dr. Sherry Price, a pharmacist, certified life and weight loss coach, and host of the Health, Habits, and Epic Living podcast. Dr. Sherry Price is dedicated to helping women take charge of their health and wellness through lifestyle, mindset, and habit change.
Dr. Sherry Price shares her personal journey of overcoming the 5 o’clock itch—the transition from work to home and the pressure cooker of balancing professional life with mom-mode. Using wine to reduce stress and cope emotionally, she felt shame and confusion, especially as a healthcare professional who knew better. For years, she struggled with the question: did it really need to be all or none when it came to alcohol?
Fearing that seeking help might jeopardize her career, she kept her struggles secret, knowing that secrets grow in darkness. A turning point came when her 5-year-old daughter was diagnosed as neurodivergent. This led Dr. Sherry Price to learn more about herself, her daughter, and life. Now, she helps other women navigate similar challenges and find balance.
Tune in to learn:
- Dr. Sherry Price’s journey from using alcohol to cope to finding healthier habits.
- The emotional and professional challenges of working in the healthcare industry and balancing work with home life.
- Strategies for managing stress and creating lasting habit changes.
- Insights into addressing over drinking without an all-or-none approach.
Don’t miss this enlightening and empowering conversation. Listen now and discover how to break the cycle of over drinking and embrace a healthier lifestyle.

So, I am mixing things up and doing a solo show!
Recently my husband and I watched a movie produced by Ron Howard called Hillbilly Elegy, a very honest memoir about JD Vance.
I promise this is not a political show, and it doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you sit in politics.
This movie is about living the American dream when all the odds are against you. It’s a must-see, and I believe our kids should watch it.
Here are a couple of points I took away from the movie:
I often hear from people I work with that they feel they have no option but to stay in a job or a relationship that doesn’t make them shine or feel alive. Because they have a mortgage, rent, kids, college, and the list goes on as to why they can’t make a change.
By not making a choice, you are choosing not to act, but it is a choice, just the same.
Our ego and reptilian brain try to keep us safe, but to what end? I challenge you to watch the movie and see how Ron Howard shows the pivotal moments of change and choice through JD’s reflections and memories of the past.

SEX’! (for females only) is an anthology written in order to revise the history of events that have led to the present social debate regarding gender inequality.
The subjugation of females followed the concept by ancient humans that because females were smaller and physically weaker than males, they must also be less intelligent and less suitable to lead a collection, a tribe or a nation.
Big strong aggressive males dominated those collections and the most dominant male chose a female partner for his sexual needs. The most frequent selection was usually a nubile young adolescent who was attractive and athletic but if she failed to please or lost her sexual appeal, she was discarded and the leader then selected one or more young females as a replacement.
For at least three thousand years, females were considered to be expendable and regularly replaced or renounced if they failed to satisfy a man. Such dramatic events frequently occurred following arranged relationship based on political or financial unions with the male regretting the contract or the female unable to provide sexual satisfaction.
The book records some of the events, circumstances and tragic incidents that have been recorded as a result of such sexual activity over many centuries.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Do you have a favorite teacher? Mine was a middle school science teacher named Mr. Pudlewski and he was a favorite for lots of reasons but one of them was he encouraged us to call him Mr. Pud – a bold move trusting a bunch of immature kids like me but he was so cool we couldn’t make fun of his name.
We all have memories of good teachers as well as bad ones. I had a very impatient music teacher in sixth grade and his attitude and impatience with me are what made me give up on music altogether. No choir, no instruments and that’s a shame. He was just so mean and that negative memory has lasted my whole life.
So, we take the good with the bad and we grow up but I recently found a kindred spirit by the name of Timothy Powell.
Tim Powell – I had a horrible teacher in seventh grade. I raised my hand to read out loud and she only let me read one sentence. Everybody else got to read a whole paragraph. I was discouraged with reading and writing and everything to do with English.
Of course he was. Kids are vulnerable at that age but fortunately for Tim that all changed when he got into High School.
Tim Powell – Connie Kole of Ground Ledge High School. She encouraged me to write in a journalism Class.
And that was the spark that re-ignited his interest in the written word. Sometimes that’s all it takes; a good, creative teacher encouraging you to take it a step further. Now, he has a children’s book out and it’s wonderful.
Tim Powell – It is Gilda’s and Glen’s Geese Nest. The story starts, Gilda is in the nest sitting on three eggs with three Goslings inside the nest.
No, one of them is not named Ryan but there is a Shooey, Freely, Mimi, Ricky, Lucy and a Mikey. Gilda and Glen’s fun loving family of six are all based on real life characters observed by the author at the pond outside his home and their antics are nothing short of heartwarming. For example, one day the goslings are doing what goslings do…
Tim Powell – They are wrestling, trying to get out of the nest. And Freely fell back on his back and he was flapping his wings and kicking his feet. Couldn’t get up and it was so cute. I saw Mimi nudge him up around his neck and help him up. It was really touching.
And then in the book Mimi says ‘You owe me a favor” and Freeley takes it a step further saying “I owe you two favors…I had a stick poking me in the back and I couldn’t get up”. He was very grateful.
The book is beautifully illustrated, but it’s not just the pictures that tell the story. While the illustrations enhance the narrative, this is a true story that you can read aloud to your children. It’s filled with valuable lessons like gratitude, caring for your siblings, and respecting wildlife, especially geese. Approaching a nest of young goslings, no matter how adorable they are, can be dangerous. Animals can be very protective of their young.
The story becomes even more engaging when you realize that it was written by an empathetic author who brings his own depth and warmth to the tale.
Plus, Gilda’s and Glen’s Geese Nest goes beyond just entertaining; it provides opportunities for meaningful conversations with your kids about the natural world. It encourages children to understand and appreciate the behaviors and emotions of animals, fostering a deeper connection with nature. Tim’s sensitivity to these themes makes it not just fun to read but also a powerful tool for teaching compassion and awareness.
Tim Powell – I enjoy writing so much. Can you imagine a young Gosling almost Gander age and you’re going up in the air and then you find yourself, not that we’re up here how do we get down?
See what I mean, he puts himself in the mind of the characters and that gives them a lot of depth which I think you’ll relate to. Timothy finished this book back in 2018— which was twenty-five years after he started it. Now that his labor of love is finally printed and published he’s not stopping there.
Tim Powell – Gilda and Glen’s Geese Nest, I’m gonna donate money to save the whales, a good earthly charity. I need to do that.
As you can see he cares deeply about wildlife and doing all we can to protect what we have left. He also wants to encourage children to read and write because just like him, it is never too late.
Gilda’s and Glen’s Geese Nest by Timothy J. Powell is available wherever you like to buy books. We put a link to a couple of the big ones like Barnes and Noble and Amazon in the shows description for you. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.
Be sure and catch the full interview with Timothy on the Talking Books podcast with JT Crowley. You can hear the audio version here or watch it on YouTube.

In this episode, the Crone & Sage discuss what The Path Tradition doesn’t involve and what the true purpose is supposed to include. In our Practices segment, they talk about some things you can try when you need to restart or reset your spiritual practices when you recognize it’s been way too long since you included a focus on the spiritual in your own life. The included Quick Spell is actually a Jar Spell to Promote Balance while you figure things out. The Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint includes some ideas about where to find those spiritual practices you want to include in your life again.
What a vision that is not real?
Vision, is God alive
Are the eyes, the very few see
Are allow to see, that’s Him
If you lucky enough …
To be chosen, by Him
As the one
He prefers
To do all of His task
Without being ask …
Is an act you both of you, understood
Stood there, you mirror image of both of you
You can dispute …
As you’ve, put all the trust in Him
In you and you
Both, misunderstood
While all others, have taken you
For a fool …the real you, no one knew
Both of you, His obedient disciple
Him, the opulent of best of every of things
Opposite, He’s not to me …
We same rod, not a negative or positive gram
A gram positive rod like a Corynebacterium
Or a gram negative as is pathogenic Mobiluncus
Going now, to the own theme
A vision of my death …
Four accidents, less than two months
None my fault, but them …
It was not I, on the wheels
But, He in control, He stole the show
Guided, protected and the new owner
Of my moonlight GM Equinox …
If you ask me, “Why I’ve survived all 4?”
You don’t ask me
Instead, ask Him
He can answer you, maybe as you sleep
It’s hard to grasp …
Images of death
To understand the power
Only, He can give!
To question, no more
The motto, now is
Believe, in the impossible
Is only He, possible
Dispute all man …
He, is whom you can’t
If He places you first
When, you once’s placed by man last
Believe, only He holds that power
Unlike, any man
who is a Supreme Judge
Judge one …
Only He
Has the power to do just that
He is the …
Ultimate judge
In Florida Turnpike, I visioned my death
A small pond next to the highway
Did it rain, days ago? You be the judge
Perhaps was dry before, I passed days ago
A lined of humans chains …
As a image evolved
From rom the pond
It was me as flowers
Were extended out to me
Goose bumps …
I get down my spines
As my purple blood waves good bye to all
My funeral, was held a week later
After my niece husband
Andrew Rodriguez passed on …
My car, an accident came to a full Stop
As my car was driving …
Probably 30 MPH, came to a full stop
It was those red barrels as barricade came
To a full stop, it was not my time!
It was He, driving
Those wheels
I, his obedient disciple
It was not my time
It’s my bodily soul, leaving all of me and
I weightless, ceasing leaving Earth
A stair, I can see in the distance
As, I climb up to Heaven …
I can hear angels with songs of endless alleluia’s
They all nicely tuned
My name sang out loud
Here comes, Minnie never a mouse
She has earned her wings …
Not commented by any Superman or Superwoman earned through sacrifices obeyed
As she, followed all instructed by the Gods
It was not the goddess, Athena
Not the angel Gabriel …
It was the Commander-in-Chief, no one sees
He is only seen through the clouds, she did see
The reasons some sees other, not
It chosen not by a pool
Is, He not a fool
But, some who never understood the truth
Let’s not end with the negatives
Let’s prefer the positives
He died but, lives even more
He gives lives, regardless if you died 50X’s
A vision, a picture of an acceptance presence
Not of that of an imagination …
But, the presence of a unfounded reality
Thus, brought by a state of true wisdom
Wisdom a solid state
States the truth
In all 50 states
In New York State
The Empire State Building
The standing water … fallen
The waterfalls as Niagara’s Falls
The Twin Towers was tall, it’s no more
Grow tall like the endless winds
You can hear but, not see
Only witness objects move
As sounds of God, as He speaks
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet

“Customer-centricity should be about delivering value for customers that will eventually create value for the company” – Robert G. Thompson
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/NDH07AjFlxACheck Out These Highlights:
The root of sustainable growth is having customers who buy and evangelize your company. However, surveying all visitors and customers does not show why the customers buy. To decipher this, you have to blend qualitative and quantitative research.
My guest today has helped companies, big and small, level up their understanding of how customers make decisions, which has helped marketers make better decisions.
About Valentin Radu:
Valentin is the pioneer of the CVO Movement (Customer Value Optimization) and the founder of CVO Academy, where he teamed up with prominent professors and practitioners to teach people how to achieve sustainable growth by understanding and caring for their customers.
He is also the author of The CLV Revolution, a highly appreciated book for companies looking to get serious about customer lifetime value. Valentin’s experimentation mindset has led him to develop the CVO Methodology and cutting-edge technologies for experimenting online and in brick-and-mortar stores, being the first that enabled companies to optimize their customer lifetime value across all the touch points.
A lifelong entrepreneur, he has successfully built four companies, including his current venture, Omniconvert, that provide CRO and CVO solutions to retail giants like Avon, Patagonia, Auchan, and many others.

https://youtu.be/qAHGzZ8vTy8Check Out These Highlights:
This quote is essential for sales teams to understand that sales have always been about building relationships and the human touch or experience. At least, that has been the source of my success.
Early in my career, four decades ago, we didn’t have computers or any type of technology. We were full-on analog. Yet computers, the Internet, and other technological advances have helped salespeople function at a higher and more efficient level. So, should AI be any different than these past innovations?
AI is a tool we need to utilize and understand. So why is AI hyped right now, and how does it offer a path to simplifying business processes? Today, we will also discuss how data and AI accelerate us into the next industrial revolution and how businesses can adapt to it properly.

What an amazing week that started with the miraculous sparing of the life of President Donald J. Trump from an assassination attempt Saturday, July 13.

Trump unified a party and embarked on his momentous journey to bring America together and to start the healing process for all Americans. Doc Holliday gave his quick assessment to his local WTVA television news. The RNC was historic, and it was splendiferous in the words of Doc Holliday.

The Author
Bernard Heys is a British author from Lancashire in the UK. He was born in 1939 at the start of WW2, when life for most people in Britain and Europe came to an abrupt halt as they started to grapple with the prospect of uncertainty as war progressed. However, despite this disadvantaged start Bernard’s life both personally and professionally went from strength to strength, he was married to Mary his wife for some considerable time and as he puts it blessed with children. His accomplished career transgressed across a whole range of fascinating areas of Industry as well as running his own management, technical and consultancy company for twenty-five years. In Bernard’s eyes the world was his oyster and having the wonderful opportunity to converse with so many nationalities across so many continents has left him the richer in spirit for what he has truly received.
Due to ill-health issues at the age of seventy-two Bernard opted for a quieter life and focused on something he had longed to do but didn’t have the time, that something was writing, so let’s turn our attention to one of his books.

The Stealthy Viral Pimpernel
Where governments and those in the know open enough with the public particularly the British government when it came to the Covid Pandemic of 2020? This, book aims to get to the heart of the matter especially concerning governmental failings coupled with duplicity surrounding PPE scandals and contractual dealings which at the time appeared compliant but ongoing investigations and enquiries are highlighting like this book, areas of concern. The author has some very interesting viewpoints for you all to consider.
Boris Johnson the former British Conservative Prime Minister in this book is The Stealthy Pimpernel now displaced. The Viral refers to Covid which remains, hence the title. The Pimpernel has gone but the virus remains. Did those in power hold the public hostage as to what was really going on behind the scenes. This commanding book chronicles the absorbing but disorderly diary of holistic government failures from November 2019 – November 2023.

Thank you, Bernie, for giving me the wonderful opportunity to interview you about your book. I wish you every success with it.
The Real Self-defence ‘for women only’ is all about the prevention rather than the cure; which is only possible, if you are aware of what needs to be prevented. The idea is that the defender (woman) is usually the wronged party, fighting for her rights in a male-dominated world. It will put you in the right frame of mind to formulate your own self-defence strategy. This inadvertently becomes your secret weapon to be unleashed against any threat to you and your loved ones.
This book highlights certain basic rules in life; which if you do not follow, will always end you up on the losing end. You will have to use your common sense and imagination to adapt what I teach to suit yourself; so that you are never in a position whereby you will be attacked, used and abused.
Most women are attacked because they either leave their guard open or are unaware of the potential dangers; and this allows the attacker to succeed. A man attacking a woman goes against a fundamental rule laid down by nature; which says that because a female is a potential child-bearer, she is vital to the survival of the human race and therefore needs to be protected, respected and cherished. This rule is frequently abused because the modern woman is now much more than a child-bearer; and has become every much as competitive as the modern man. It is this conflict between the sexes that is the main cause of women not being treated with the respect they deserve.
It is still good to be female; if you know how! Most women have an instinctive arsenal of tactics they readily employ to steer themselves through the minefield of a day. This book not only emphasizes that fact, but also shows a few more ways to help women stay safe.Danny has written a song called The Roar of the Tigress which can be downloaded to use along with the book. You can find the book Roar Of the Tigress: The Real Self-Defence “For Women Only” by Danny Gee Goju on Amazon.

Her Righteousness Ekhosuehi Ibie’s prayer book stands as a sacred endeavor aimed at repairing the breach and proclaiming the reign of the Lord to the world. It asserts that we have transitioned into a new era, where the constraints of the past have given way to a realm of freedom under Jesus’ name. However, some individuals resist acknowledging this transformation, clinging to the old order that served their interests, a dominion rightfully reserved for God alone.
This profound work emerged over years, born from Her Righteousness Ekhosuehi’s confrontation with personal experiences with darkness, leading her to immerse herself in ceaseless prayer. Blessed with a divine anointing, her prayers became a formidable shield against spiritual adversaries, with God unfailingly answering her supplications.
Originally self-published in 2016, the Holy Spirit prompted its republication a year ago, though this endeavor faced opposition from forces of darkness, seeking to derail her mission. Nevertheless, the prayers within this book span every facet of life, offering guidance and protection in a tumultuous world.

In this suspenseful, historic novel, there are many types and sources of reflections. There are windowpanes, glass panels, any number of highly polished surfaces, mirrors, the smooth surface of water, and of course the most powerful of all, our reflective thoughts.
In the spring of 1926, on a large and profitable estate, called Tumby Hall in the English West Mid-lands, Lady Matilda Gregson has died from a lingering illness at the age of 71. At the same time a murder committed and is witnessed. Over the ensuing weeks the killer is pushed and dragged to a resolution. Several people who are touched by this death, employ different forms of reflections to help them make sense of their situation and perhaps to help them find justice.
Characters travel through the story living their daily lives, but unavoidable points of contact with others affected by this death lead to paranoia, deceit, threats being made, and eventually to another death … or murder.
Will justice ever be done?

The Author
Timothy Powel is an American author from Lansing, Michigan in the U.S. As a child he hated English with a passion and that disdain for the English language continued right throughout his school days, something I can resonate with. However, in the early 1970’s he undertook a Journalism course and that was the initial spark along with a lot of encouragement from numerous tutors over a prolonged period to re-engage with the written word. Looking back at his life which has taken him down many paths both professionally and personally a lot has happened, but the one constant thing that has remained steadfast throughout his adult life is the love of language, odd that for a person who as a child loathed the very prospect of picking up a book to read let alone a pen to write. How our oddities of likes and dislikes change over time.
The idea and concept for writing his book goes back to 1993 when Timothy watched a pair of nesting geese close to where he lived, twenty-five years later he completed the story and first published it. The aim of the book is to encourage young minds to enjoy reading and at the same time have fun discovering the beauty of the wildlife that comes into our lives everyday no matter where that encounter takes place, in the open wilderness or in our back gardens. So, let’s have a sneak preview at Timothy J Powell’s book.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/jBSnOLIdtMYThe Book
This is an endearing story about two geese Gilda and Glen raising their brood off six goslings from the moment of hatching to their first flight, the victory flight that will take them to warmer waters and new adventures. For Meeme, Shuely, Freely the first three goslings to hatch and Ricky, Lucy and Mikey the last three to hatch exciting times lie ahead so do dangers, dangers they must face and avoid. The story is told against the backdrop of wonderful vivid illustrations bringing to life a community of wildlife around Timmy’s Pond. The Goldfinch family and Bluey and Bluetta the Herons add to the enchanting story. Yes, it’s a cute story for 8–10-year-olds depending upon their reading ability to enjoy, but equally it has a message for young children, mainly give nesting birds respect and space while they rear and protect their young ones. It’s also a book Grandparents and Parents can enjoy reading and sharing with the young ones.

This is the final episode of “Preparing Today’s Children for a Futuristic Digital Tomorrow.” In a panel discussion with the champion team of educators and leaders of Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy, Mrs. Kathryn Cohen (principal and cohort for 3rd – 5th grade), Mrs. Simran Jawanda (vice principal of middle school), and Mrs. Tracy Smith (principal of k-2nd grade).
Our panel begins where we left off in episode three, with a discussion about how students manage bullies. During our conversation, we proceeded to uncover the academic and behavioral effects of social media. The amazing discussion leads us all to a self-reflection moment on how we, as adults, are modeling social behaviors to our own children and students. This final session is not just an assessment but a call to action for all of us to prepare the future (our children) to survive in their inevitable digital world. The basics learned in elementary and middle school are predicted to be the cornerstone of a kind society, and your role in this process is crucial. The stepping stone pathing through treacherous societal challenges will be the leaders that will pull from within their core values of kindness to reach outwardly, sharing acts of compassion and service to mentor a dwindling population.
At the end of the episode, you will see not only an animated mindful moment but also a practical summary of the previous episodes. This summary will equip you with actionable advice to help you guide your children through the challenges of social media and prepare them for a digital future.

My nephew, Joselito
Has three gorgeous sons
The Father, Son and The Holy Ghost
Let me stop, kidding
They really are incredibly sympatico kids
Meaning friendly, gentleman, cordial and cute
OMG …
What a shame
Every time I get to meet them, it’s a funeral
We say … “We have to come over!”
They in Las Vegas and I, in Staten Island, NY
We got to do better than meeting in funerals!
What is that stops all of us from not
Being able to push our clocks backward
It’s a human-nature thing …
Life, goes by so fast
Like the second hand of a clock
Not even, if you wear a watch you notice it turns
Going back to my nephew
Three super sons
Jared, bearded black full headed guy
With a smile like a God
Intellect of a saint
Humor of that of Superman
Timothy, with a smile like the statue of David
He only can hear words of God-like sentences
All other, he thus become mute
James, with same name as my only son
Siemese twin of actor Justin Long
Quiet, reserve but, cool like the breeze of colors
Now my niece Marlenis, Joselito’s sister
She’s 42 looking like 20
OMG, is the Frias genes
What Do, I mean?
Frias’s women don’t age
They take pride looking young and in tune
Her two sons: Mason 11 and Aiden 17
Like their father Andrew, handsome
Funeral Sunday 6/23/24, I cried
Their father gone too soon at 42
A police officer, a Broward Sheriff Deputy
South Miami Dade, a job 24-7, he did well
His colleagues all spoke of his heroic work ethics
He now with his God, that we not
We will all met Him, and Him one day
It is our deep believe … we must all be super GOOD, like
Andrew, A police officer, a husband, father, brother, sister or very dear friend 2many
There, I sitting absorbing it all in
It was on a Monday, the Lord called Andrew
How would he respond?
Andrew did not hesitant, not crawl He was not weak
But, strong in his response? Was he?
You judge this man not? Leave it all to God
Only, He knows Andrew
We missed the opportunity?
Now, it is He whom will benefit most
He is now looking down
On his wife …
Most of all, his two sons Aiden and Mason
Arden stated, would had been nice
“If my father would had been there 4my graduation!”
Arden know, he will be there and always
It’s easy said, then done
To depart from your loved ones
It’s even harder not to understand God’s plan
I can only pray …
God, you made the right choice
To take Andrew leave a widow and two orphans
I can only question you why?
I went to Andrew and Marlenis’ wedding
A light blue strapless dress, worn by I
Now, I’ve tears in my eyes
It was my hands as my tissue
My heart of art absorbing all the words
I folded the night as I kissed my family good night
I scared, long 70 miles ride driving in Florida Turnpike at night, I don’t drive this far
I ask my nephew, Joselito, my sisters and
My Jose to pray
I almost didn’t make it
I closing in to be next in a coffin?
Not my time, yet
My car front light didn’t turn on
Orange barrels supposedly for traffic
Became engaged with my car, as they met
It both, came to a full stop
When you get into a driving car …
Know, it can be your last as is a death trap
God was driving and I, His passenger
Am glad to end
He is my friend, my best friend
He can be yours too, seek and call out to Him
He’s waiting
Call Him, any way you can
He’s waiting … don’t let it be too long
This, I must say
He loves you, he loves me and
He loves all we …
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet
Welcome back to the third part of this series. Join me as Mrs. Cohen, principal of EKHLA, Mrs. Jawanda, and Mrs. Smith(vice principals of EKHLA) discuss how students transition from self-reflection to individuality development. Each student’s voice is valued, and educators encourage self-advocacy. Reviews from some parents who had their children at EKHLA voiced complaints about their child being assigned too much homework or their expectations not being met. Some schools are not for all children. It’s essential to recognize the diversity of schools in our country, each with its unique strengths. Not every school is a perfect fit for every child. Regardless of your child’s school, I would like to encourage you to carefully assess it. Ask yourself: Is this school effectively preparing my child for the digital future?
With an open mind, it is worth reflecting on the environment children are in most of their awake hours because the environment has a strong developmental impact on developing brains. Are mindfulness skills intertwined with the school’s core values?
Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy is doing very well. Other schools are ranked higher than Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy. I encourage you to ask the same questions. If you are homeschooling your child, how are you preparing your child through the homeschooling program to function and contribute to their future communities, along with bringing values and principles into the next generation? What is your child’s academic environment like? Is your child’s school preparing students for the future in a digital world? I hope these questions help stimulate thinking about preparing children for the future.

“Creativity involves breaking out of expected patterns in order to look at things in a different way”, Edward deBono. As I reflect on my life and having a dad who was an engineer by trade, I was taught how to look at any situation, problem, or life event through a lens of logic.
This is funny because I remember as a kid loving to draw and create pictures of landscapes with horses, colorful sunsets, a field of trees and flowers, and the list goes on. I’m not sure what happened or why I stopped drawing and using my creative mind.
I think as my life became busier with academics, sports, working part-time jobs, family obligations, friends, and boyfriends, (you know you have this type of list too) life just got too busy and I stopped creating pictures on paper and canvas.
Guess what? Today is the perfect time to get excited about creativity and how it can transform your life. Some tools may work in your personal life and not in your professional life. The cool thing is that tapping into your creativity is something that enhances every aspect of your life. And here’s a secret…everyone is creative.

Part 1: Dogmatic Ecclesiology Applied in Our Times
The Author
Griff Ruby is from Lompoc a small community town close to the stunning Pacific Coastline of California in the United States. He has been married to his wife Juliet for over twenty-five years. Griff like me was born in 1958 and for most of his life he has been searching for the true meaning of Christianity. That search took him on a journey as he explored various religious teachings, but he eventually settled on Catholicism, but even that is only the general neighbourhood since he speaks for a growing group of Catholics who believe that today’s Vatican no longer speaks for Catholicism. When you have a look at his books, you’ll see that he can be quite controversial, possibly putting him at odds with contemporary doctrine. What does he think of Vatican II? Well, I’ll let you draw your own conclusions as you peruse the pages. So, let’s turn to the book that we are going to focus on in this podcast interview.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/RGjrbOHbiaoThe Book
Sede Vacante! The literal translation from the Latin to English is ‘Vacant Chair.’
And when you have read the book, you’ll understand why Griff gave his book this title. At first glimpse Griff sets out the purpose of the book and let’s be clear it’s not a bedtime read, it was never intended to be that; it’s a thought-provoking book with some interesting and at times controversial viewpoints. For me Griff has set the book out in a unique way, are they chapters? Or are they sections that can be viewed as chapters? Either way you decide but Griff has set them as doctrines and deductions. He starts off with sixteen doctrines closely followed towards the end with five deduction sections, at the end of most doctrines and deductions Griff challenges you with a series of findings and raw questions all done to simply make you think. Is Griff’s Ideological rhetoric to your taste hmm…maybe, maybe not but it’s well worth investigating. At the end of the book, you’ll find an exceptionally well written epilogue, a compelling table of basic premises, findings and questions, and finally an engaging Appendix around the sources of errors against the authority of the traditional Catholic Bishops.
This book is extremely well written, but as I have already hinted at its contents in places will certainly raise a few eyebrows. I would be interested to hear what the hierarchy in the Vatican would say about this book. So, look for yourself and formulate your own opinions.
Is God’s will being shaped to fit man’s needs rather than man shaping himself to meet God’s expectations? This question is at the heart of this book.

The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church: A Guide to the Traditional Roman Catholic Church.
For nearly two thousand years the Roman Catholic Church withstood all the currents of change and history and maintained a closely guarded orthodoxy which has always served as the basis and centre of all Christianity. Yet, it is as if all of that has been arbitrarily swept away in the few years by Vatican II. Given what the church has always taught about itself being indefectible. How could this have happened? Did that Council have something to do with that terrible loss of faith? Can the real Catholic Church be found today, and if so, where?
The shocking answer to this, once seen and truly understood, is as every bit as glorious as the original resurrection of Christ Himself, a tremendous source of faith and inspiration. It is broad-based, longstanding miracle passing right before our eyes, have we but the Grace to see it for what it is.

Thank you, Griff, for giving me the wonderful opportunity to interview you about your epic book. I wish you every success with it.
Poems of Divine Power is a book of poems featuring testimonies, teachings, prayers, and Prophecy of Divine Power, all being inspired by the Holy Spirit through the author’s journey to the Cross and Salvation. Each page stands on its own, touching the heart of those who embrace the work of the Cross and the written Word, the Bible.
Welcome to the edition of Newsgram!
If you read the description of this episode then you know you’re in for a spiritual experience today. Annie Lean is an author from a small town just outside Toronto and while we are in very different places in the world we share a common sentiment.
Annie Lean – The cry for Peace. You know my heart has always been that for a cry for peace because the world needs it.
It sure does. There are lots of wonderful things happening every day in our world and it is hard to appreciate them because we are overwhelmed with negativity because well…
AnnieLean – People are People.
Exactly. People are People. We are who we are — complex organisms characterized mainly by our capacity for thought, emotion, communication, and social interaction. While we are all made in the image of God we possess free will to make our own choice and no matter how hard some people try they can never take that away from you.
Annie Lean – I just like it, but that cry in heart is just there for peace so that people can come together and live their lives and allow others to live their lives and not try to overrule other people. Control I guess is the word.
It’s a tall order, but Annie is doing her part by writing poetry. Her book is called “Poems of Divine Power” and in it there are 117 powerful poems designed to uplift and inspire but before we get too deep into all that I want you to hear the inspiration for all of this. Her literal “Come to Jesus moment”.
Annie Lean – Annie talks about how her prayers led her to be healed from kidney failure.
We’ve done other podcasts on this phenomena and they are not always from a spiritual point of view but it does happen. People are healed from life threatening illnesses all the time and there is no scientific explanation as to why but it’s definitely happening. Is it a miracle? Is it a coincidence? You have the Free will to choose your own explanation but Annie gives credit to Jesus and she says the only way we can truly find peace is by having a relationship with Him so she wrote this poem about it..
Annie Lean – So we’re going to do a Cry for Peace on page four…Annie reads the full poem from her book about a need for peace and her confusion about why we are not receiving it but hopefully we soon will.
Annie Lean is an Ordained Minister so she is no stranger to communicating and you feel that at the end of each poem where she talks about where the poems come from; the date, the theme, the inspiration for them. It’s not a sermon but it does help convey the ultimate message of the poem.
Annie Lean – My heart cries for people who do not have peace. I look at the people today with drugs and alcohol running rampant, with hate and anger, confusion, not knowing what to do there’s no answers for them and that’s where my heart is, for the lost. For those who need consoling, who need hope and need encouragement and that was always my forefront even as a child I always had tears for those who were helpless and there was no-one there to help.
That is the root of who she is. A compassionate person using her free will to share a message of hope and peace to anyone who cares to hear it. It’s a message that she says came from God.
Annie Lean – And then I heard from within myself this voice saying, ‘you meditate on the word and when you finish each book or each chapter of the Bible you will receive a poem” and it did it all came forward every time I finished a chapter a poem would come.
There you have it. Divine inspiration available now in the form of two different books of poetry, Poems of Divine Power and Poems of Divine Power two. A gift from Annie Lean to a complicated world in need of hope, peace and friendly reminder of a core Christian belief in God’s love for humanity — John 3:16.
Annie Lean – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” It’s a love story and I want people to realize that if you have nothing to hope for, nothing to hang onto, Jesus Christ came to save us. When I grasped John 3:16 it became the foundation for these books because its the love that you have for Him that brings you into a hole, encouragement, love and anything else that you need and that’s what I want people to know.
If this sounds like something you’d like to explore further there are links to the books in the show’s notes as well as some other interviews where you can hear Annie Lean reading poems and sharing her inspiration.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgran from Webtalkradio.com. Watch JT Crowley’s interview with AnnieLean on Youtube https://youtu.be/nILm7D-jzCI?si=DQoriqlo8OEV0nR4 or visit webtalkradio.com, or Expertsandauthors.tv.
Annie was also profiled on the Books on Air podcast with Suzanne Harris.

TJ Woodward is with us for the sixth time. TJ is a kind of public visionary whose special calling has been helping people who have substance abuse issues. His first really eye-opening book was called Conscious BEING: Awakening to Your True Nature. Roberta sees it as fundamentally her own Liberating Jesus, but based in eastern religious teachings, and not in the teachings of Jesus. She says that some people have been so traumatized by the fear-based nature of Christianity as it is being practiced now that they don’t want to hear these truths from Jesus, even though everything that Jesus taught is love-based. So, they can hear the same truths now from TJ Woodward’s work instead! His second book was Conscious Recovery: A Fresh Perspective on Addiction. And his third book was Conscious Creation: Five Steps to Embracing the Life of Your Dreams. TJ Woodward is the creator of The Conscious Recovery Method ™, which is a ground-breaking approach to viewing and treating addictions. He is the creator and host of the Awakened Living TV and Awakened Living Radio shows. His website is Tjwoodward.com.

In this episode, the Crone & Sage talk about some of the things you need to consider when writing what we think of as a bigger magickal working. In our practices section, we work on identifying some of the artful aspects of our own lives that we can use for magick and offer some suggestions about where you might find your own. Finally, this episode’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint is a gentle reminder not to overschedule yourself because of the almost overwhelming solar energy available now and to consider paring down on the list of projects you have going so that you have a shot at finishing them up before the real Dark Times take hold later this year.
As our children’s online presence increases, so does their exposure to digital risk. It’s crucial for us as educators and parents to understand and address these risks (cyberbullying, harmful content, inappropriate pop-ups). How can educators and parents create more positive influences that will contribute to a shrinking population? How do we prepare our children to build positive relationships when they lack basic social skills?
I invite you to find a comfortable position and join me and my special guest as we explore how a ranked charter school prepares its students for the futuristic digital.
This panel discussion format reveals the importance of old-school core competencies that a digital community cannot replace. I am honored to welcome Mrs. Kathryn Cohen (principal of Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Academy) and vice principals Mrs. Simian Jawanda and Mrs. Tracy Smith. This is the first part of a series of episodes revealing how EKHLA strengthens core skills that metamorphosis into community, communication, and positive self-regulation strengths.

What’s new
In the world of entertainment?
Where the old
Meets the new?
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Wakes up at night tightly and nice
Where becomes transformed in art form
As bodies of fame no longer the same
You’ve artist like Cardi B, a rapper
from the Bronx, a borough that I love
Is where, I work and bring home my daily bread
She wearing organza black extravagant gown
Preferably known
As unknowable depths of the universe
You may like or dislike her style
She’s still Cardi B, a Bronx girl she’ll always be
With a thing to impress …
She always dresses to do just that
Like Anna Wintour, Vogue editor both women leave entrance of expressions, whoa
Who are we to critique?
It’s the best entertainment
Where NYC never sleeps
Where vibrant colors lives
It’s a scene to applause
As artist like that includes
Actresses, singers, models and best
Comes to show off dress code
This year titled” Garden of Time”
I praise Miss Zendaya, most cool blue
One of the five host of the gala
Dressed by Maison Margiela and John Galliano
Looked dolled-like of a goddess
With a palette of purple peacock
Purple my favorite of the colors
A butterfly went by, sat on her neck and elbow
A silhouette and transparent
No one there had their parents
It’s an occasion to show off
It started shaky as Gaza protesters try shame
NYC Braves
Shook them off
Took them out
Now rooms for creation came to give birth
It’s a light of new breaths
As everyone gave their best performance
Forming exquisite lines, yes forming exquisite
lines
It was each and every one of Who Who’s
What celebrity would show up?
Which one, will not?
If you invited, you will
If you not, you question why not?
Some may want it to be a thing of the past
But, art never dies
It always comes to live
Especially, in a city that never sleeps nor
never gives up
There was a mosquito protector
You can’t wear it on your vest
In your best or worst of days
It’s foolish to catch your eyes
I prefer an eye for the most ice princess
Elle Fanning by name
She showed up with poise
Hands made and structure by the gods
Statuette, thin and with grace
She stood shown skin
Her hair under her shoulders
Paper thinned no, perfect as a goddess
With her left hand down by her side
The other upward as guiding traffic to the Gods
No none listened everyone hurriedly
To the next on line, off you go
Where should I end?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea0y5K6dvnICheck Out These Highlights:
When I started this show over a decade ago, I asked a friend what they thought about me starting a podcast and if it would be worth the time.
So, I started the show and now have two shows. I paid my mortgage and put food on the table, and both my shows are ranked in the top 5% of all business podcasts. In hindsight, yes, it was worth it. At the time, I was a nervous wreck!
So, navigating change is real and constant!

There’s definitely wars
Russian with Ukraine
Gaza with Israel
There’s also, President Trump’s trial
With have global warming/climate change
The college student’s protest over Gaza
The forest fires
The mud slides
The burning of souls
As missiles collapses their homes
Let us not try to get sad
There’s plenty of great news
Theirs’s graduations, child births and the stock
Making millionaires from regular Sam’s
There’s free tuition for medical students
In the poorest borough, in NYC; the Bronx
Albert Einstein Medical school
My neighbor at work
That’s Jacobi Medical Center
A place, I can call home
I’ve learned to love
They’re all nice people
I can all trust …
I could give’ m my home keys
As I sleep, still wake up, the same
People have always freaked out
They’ve fear in their heads
As they hear of the Bronx
Constantly in the news for crimes
I’ve never committed one, am not afraid
Why, should I?
It’s a far cry from
As us embedded in their eyes
It’s the borough
With the least wealth
This should change
As the real-estate, had sky rocket
I am now entering a new age
As the fastest rocket weapon on Earth
I must educate as, I’ve I
With such of incredible sounds
Subsonic: 614 MPH
Transonic: 921 MPH
Supersonic: 3,836 MPH
Hypersonic: 7,673 MPH
It’s now the monster
That set to kill
In matter of seconds
It’s a torpedo of supersonic sounds
Moving 25X’s speed of sound
Let’s express speed 19,810 MPH
It can fly NY to Beijing in minutes
Are you scared, now?
I know, I am, It’s a tope-do of copper color
Super scared as can change direction
As human’s changes its mind
In mid-flight, as is set in high-hypersonic 19,810
This sucker …
Is not massive in size
Is massive thinking of it
It’s potential lethal
Like a deadly poison, from a snake
You can’t revert its damages
It was Mr. President Trump
Whom had signed into law H.R 1158
To get exact …
It was a date of 12/20/19
He’s a force not to be reckoned
That’s for sure, as he got it done
Operation Push …
He also, pushed 4all pharma to collaborate
COVID19 vaccine but, his mouth moved like
This endless high-hypersonic torpedo
His cursed himself, landed in the wrong planet
He blamed Stormy Daniels, as he visited Blooming Dale under the coat ranks another woman, he left prints that in 2024 …
That served the US High Courts
He was fined millions
But, because he’s Trump
He left to fight, other cases
He’s unlike any bull
Still at 80 yrs. old, close
There’s no teenage athlete
Nor wrestler that can fight like him
If they attempt to sue or fine him
Perhaps, even pin him to a ring
He’ll do a full circle
He’s the winner, well claimed
I like to end few stanzas that’s a USA president has been put onto a ring with a cast of news
To record his every move …
Forgetting, this still a free country
The best yet, known
You can’t reverse time nor history
He’s protected by the 14th amendment
He’s free to speak however, a citizen still he
The presidency seeks
Every man
To themselves
How will he be judge?
Will history be kind?
Should he be advised to drink a glass of wine
Not to stand in court sitting on his hearings
All of the times …
Instead at age 78, sleep of peace can’t reach instead in his head, sleep apnea kicks in, eyes near APPs in his cell, he can’t grab too tired Now, must contempt to things he hasn’t heard
What will be his destiny?
Should he be left alone?
Should a past president be treated light n-kind?
Should it be left to the God to decide?
To lead is not always easy, in terms of perfection
It takes wisdom, knowledge, compassion
Placing others first, you last
It’s lives involved and humans with equal rights
Who can deny
A president
A piece of peace
Where all peoples are considered free?
Give him a break
News of the world
Take a step be hide
Let an old man breath-free, as eagles ought 2be
The Summer Solstice is upon us, the longest day of the year and the peak of Light energy. However, we also celebrate that it is also the start of the Dark Half of the Year where we will now start to gain a little bit of darkness each day. There is a mini ritual to make a small sun catcher for the energy that 2 Crones did several years ago for fun. Try it if you like, but take time to acknowledge the energies of the day! Happy Solstice!

If you’re asking yourself, “Is this all there is?”
Then, you’re in the right space.
When it comes to living your finest life, most people think it’s about trying harder, changing, or perfecting yourself to society’s standards.
Society convinces us that in order to succeed in our relationships, careers, and health, we need to search outside of ourselves.
That leads us to believe that we’re not worthy of more.
The truth is living your finest life is about becoming your most authentic self. And it’s closer than you think. I know because this is the work I do.
It happens when you decide to be bold and courageous, step outside the box, acknowledge your authenticity, and value what you offer to the world.
A life where time, money, and energy are abundant, allowing you to enjoy the things that truly matter.
A life rich with deeper connections and (even) more memorable experiences.
A life that’s custom-designed to fit YOUR DESIRES and aspirations.
Life happens FOR you! Your health, wealth, and love relationship take on new heights. The right people appear to support you and your BIG dreams. You find life-long fulfillment, joy, and a purpose. You become unapologetically you.
Your life, rich with meaning and depth, awaits.
Sound dreamy?! Let’s make it your reality…

“This is not hard sell-it’s heart sell. Good questions get to the heart of the problem or the need very quickly, and the buyer doesn’t feel like he or she is being pushed” – Jeffrey Gitomer
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/CakpwY1A9xACheck Out These Highlights:
Selling from the heart and building long-term relationships were intuitive for me and helped me quickly stand out from my peers in the financial industry. By creating a solid foundation and reputation, I could generate ongoing referrals, and my close ratio was off the charts because I was a trusted resource before I met the referred client.
It’s simple, yet many people who need to engage and sell as part of their responsibilities still consider sales icky and sleazy. My motto is: If you are not selling from love, care, and respect, you need to stop!

Originally Published April 11, 2023 Join Dr. Lycka and Chris Chandler-Yates for an inspiring conversation about resilience, personal growth, and living a life true to oneself.

About Chris Chandler-Yates: Chris is an American-Kiwi. who arrived in NZ in 2004. He joined the NZ Police in 2011 and after a seven-year career, during which time he protected The Rt Hon Sir John Key (New Zealand’s Prime Minister), he experienced severe burnout that caused him to leave the job he once loved.
After a journey of self-care, recovery, and personal development, he’s now hyper passionate about helping officers take charge of their mental health and significantly reduce the chance of burnout. He lives to ensure others learn to see themselves so they don’t go through the pain he once experienced.

It’s only human to feel another human
It’s empathy for a human loss of life
All life forms matter
Is in the likeness and mirror-images of ourselves
Whom are we not to bleed like them?
If we are to open each and every one of them
They opened to same color blood
They bleed out red and purple like all the Gods
What does a number tell us, all of us?
Number never lies
Are humans that do!
34,600 Palestinians death
It’s a far cry from what is love
Israel-Palestine stop this fight
It’s a human being burn alive
Where all this strive innocent babes
With its mother and new-borne
All taken too early
To their graves
As the braves
Of all of the man’s
No longer brave
As their hearts
All opened
They cracked open
At the sight
With smells of corpse
Ready to be bury
They dig in their hearts
My dear god
Let it all stop
Man, with hearts, stop this insanity
Why can we all get along?
You want a piece of peace
You want a land of piece, of piece bits of peace
Thus, cut it in half share it with your neighbor
Learn like Jesus did
He shares piece of bread with his disciples
Learned to turn hate into peace
Just like He did, turning water into wine
If you all remove a piece of hate
Perhaps a seed of love
Will be replaced
It’s never too late to revert a bad seed
You must take from your rotten heart
You got to burn it
Take only, one good seed
Thus, place it in your heart
It will grow like a mustard seed
Don’t forgot to water it
Open the shade, let the sun in
Learn to control all your satanic temper
When the sun becomes too hot find a shade instead of letting the heat burn you alive
Instead of throwing heats at the rest
Test your inner self to control your good soul
Never let yourself go to hell
Is where the endless fires burn
It’s hotter than the sun
It’s burns all hopes
Students are the future
They make changes known
They know future is there’s
They have to make it known
Participants at major universities: Columbia, NYU, George Washington, Indiana, Yale,
University of Texas, University of California, etc.
are all demanding solidarity and end to war?
Some may call them, activism
I call them hope
Instead of being and being left alone
They prefer to make it know
The world shouldn’t stand alone
They must stand together
They beliefs are bigger than their dreams
They dream big, to make known
They do not stand alone
For their believes in the future of hopes
War must end and should come to an end
There’s no place of peace call war
I believe in hopes
It’s embedded in my DNA’s
It shows in my blue jeans, I am wearing
I hide nothing that’s not love
Love takes center stage
Love is torch that should be lighted
Love is beam of light necessary to sustain us all
Love is a seed needed in every man’s heart
It’ll be peace
If every man
Has a believe
That love’s endless in their heart of art
I conclude
Students are the future
Listen to them
Instead of jailing them

Join Eartha as she uses an unconventional format to host her special guest, Rabbi Ephraim Barker. Rabbi Ephraim Barker serves his community as a Kosher Supervisor at the San Antonio Jewish Community Center and a Torah and Hebrew instructor. He brings a mystical perspective to how words influence verbal and non-verbal communication in the secular and spiritual realms. Rabbi Barker shares fantastic glimpses of the effects of communication that even the world of the”digital and experience age” may not have explored.
The digital age’s hallmark is accepting that we do not know everything. We “look it up” on our preferred search engine. We seek opportunities to synch our internal knowledge with the World Wide Web.
In this podcast, we aim to challenge your understanding of the effects of words in the mystical realm as you navigate life in this new digital experience age. We invite you to be open to the information presented by Rabbi Barker as he guides you beyond the digital experience age. This episode will stimulate your thoughts about the impact of our physical actions in this world on the spiritual world from a Jewish perspective. This is part two of our series. Use this opportunity to explore how mindful qualities can enhance your uniqueness in a super-tech environment.

In this episode, the Crone and Sage talk about the benefits of a regular practice of meditation and how it can benefit your Witchcraft. However, what’s really important is just to make that commitment to some type of practice. In the Practices section, Budget Friendly Witchcraft is always an important part of what we do. Finally, this week’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint gives you some ideas about how to create “elemental” timers you can use as you go out into the world to “listen” for the magick.
“Our DNA is like a genie in a bottle, except they are genes in our body, connected to the unified field of the universe. They react to our thoughts to make our wishes a reality by attracting people, things, and experiences which we desire & think about most.” – Lacey Knight

One of my favorite studies on human memories and habits transmitted through our ancestral DNA is by Dias and Ressler. Over several repetitions, they train mice to become afraid of the smell of cherry blossoms and associate the cherry blossom with pain.
Shortly afterward, these males bred with female mice. When their pups smelled the scent of cherry blossom, they became more jumpy and nervous than pups whose fathers hadn’t been conditioned to fear it, even though they had never felt the electric shock associated with the cherry blossom smell. This plays out for humans and our ancestral DNA, too. Are you intrigued?

Which assignment do I work on now? Which is more important? When is that one due? These are questions every High School and college student has to answer every day. What if there was an app that consolidated all of those answers into a single list “do these today” and completing that daily list resulted in all assignments done by the due date, even long-range ones? AND it included other activities like sports, clubs, family time!
Thanks to Nathan Hanamaika’i, that app exists! While in grad school Dr. Nate had to figure out how to complete his doctoral studies, job tasks, home chores and include personal and family time with his wife and four children. He made a spreadsheet then combined it with a calendar of due dates. As he learned more about ADHD and the challenges students have with time management, he refined his system into a composite of all the activities and tasks to be done over the coming few months for school, job, rest/restore time, personal time, exercise, and whatever else, then distilled that into day-by-day segments. Just do everything on the list for that day and due dates will be met, appointments kept, family time enjoyed!
Studyzen personalizes that for each student, using input from student, parents, school and class schedules/assignments to create the daily task set unique for the needs of the student. No more worrying about which of 5 things to do first, or at all that day! Assignments, sports, clubs, refresh time – it is possible to track it and get it done step by step.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Today I have a story for you that is guaranteed to warm your heart but to that I’m hoping you can give me a bit of latitude so I can offer some perspective. While I’m sitting down to write this edition of Newsgram there are news stories circulating about Israel and Gaza, the war between the Ukraine and Russia, Trump’s guilty verdict and the aftermath of that along with numerous natural disasters happening all over the world and the damage done by them. Then there are our own personal struggles over things like interest rates, the price of gas or the economy. I’m sure you have issues personal to you like childcare, joblessness or any number of things that are creating tension for you over a backdrop of world chaos and political infighting but for just a minute let’s put a pin in all that and listen to Miriam Steiner-Aviezer born in 1935 in Yugoslavia to Jewish parents.
In 1941, the Nazi’s invaded Yugoslavia, arrested Miriam and her parents and forced them onto trains bound for a concentration camp in Croatia. This is not the story of that horrific time and fortunately she and her parents survived the Holocaust. This story is about her experience in the refugee camp.
Miriam – No it was a nice place. They did all the efforts to make us happy and to provide us a nice place to live in but maybe they didn’t understand our feelings and our mental situation. I just want to be alone all the time.
In case you aren’t familiar I will give you the Wikipedia definition of a ‘displaced Persons camp”. It was a temporary facility where unaccompanied Children of all ages were gathered together and looked after until a more permanent situation could be found for them. Miriam was one of those children. A scared little girl who just wanted to be left alone.
Miriam – I was just a person that liked to be alone and I was just happy they didn’t join me in their singing and dancing. There was not one single thing that could move me.
Most people are well-meaning and try to help by encouraging you to join in on group activities and games but we all process grief differently. Some kids just want to be left alone and it can be very hard to reach them.
Now, we can argue all day long about congress spending our money but today I thought it would be nice to transport you back to a different time and reflect on an aid package sent by the people of America to children living in this refugee camp in the aftermath of World War Two.
Miriam – I really admire the people of America. Americans are so concerned about what is happening around them and they are always ready to help and they’re always read to share what they have with others.
Miriam is going to read an excerpt from her book “Dear Mary” about her experience and the thing that changed her life for the better.
Miriam – Then one day I found a big package on my bed. I was not sure it belonged to me so I did not try to touch it but they took all the things that were in the package and put it on my bed.….somehow I knew that this was not the name of the doll but of the girl who sent it. I imagine a girl my age
A doll with one shoe and the name Mary written on the other foot that got sent from America as part of a large care-package and managed to reach just the right person.
Miriam – I imagined a girl my age kissing her goodby and putting her in that big box. This doll made a very long journey before she came to me. I took her in my arms and embraced her body as if I finally met a dear friend of mine. From that day on I was not alone or lonely. I had a friend. I was you Mary. I remember I was told, it was a gift from the people of America. The people of America sounded so beautiful that I enjoyed repeating it on and on until it came to be a melody caressing my ears and I began mumbling silently to myself. The people of America.
Miriam wanted to thank Mary for sending her this doll but she had no individual address and you can’t just send a letter addressed to “the people of America” so now, years later she’s published this book that will hopefully serve as a thank you.
Miriam – Many years have passed since and you Mary probably have a big family with children and grandchildren, just like me. I’m sure you have forgotten about the package you sent me years ago but I did not forget. All those years all I wanted was to write a letter and to say thank you to the people of America.
What a beautiful vision it would be for Mary to read this letter and know that her doll touched the life of some little girl that needed it so badly but Miriam has a more important take away for us.
Miriam – Mary is a symbol. It’s not really a person it is a symbol of a generation and I think that this generation of Mary, this was the finest hour in your history. You personally didn’t go through the holocaust but you identify yourself with those that did. Those activities of sending packages; not only what was in the packages but it was the gesture. It exudes the message of human love and kindness, compassion and the power of goodness.
A Kindness done for no other reason than to brighten someone’s day. No politics, no religion, just love.
We send care packages out all the time in the form of financial aid, supplies and necessities and don’t often get to hear how much these things are appreciated. Maybe it’s because we don’t ask, we just give because it’s the right thing to do.
Miriam – I really admire Americans and I really think that people should have more respect for the simple American who is always concerned about what is happening around and is ready to help.
Are you familiar with the concept of The Butterfly Effect? It’s a concept that comes form the modern Chaos theory developed by Edward Lorenz an American mathematician and meteorologist who discovered that minor variations in the initial conditions of a weather model could lead to vastly different outcome but it’s a lot more that that for the purposes of this podcast lets just say that sometimes, the things we do can have far reaching effects because the world is interconnected in so many ways.
Do something out of love and you could be sending out waves of kindness into the universe that reach far beyond our expectations like a care package sent to a child refugee camp nearly eighty years ago resulting in a book written in 2023 that can bring a smile to sick women and continues to pay dividends.
Miriam – I once received a letter from a young woman. She said when I read this story to my grandmother who is sick and not responsive she smiled.
Miriam – And I think there are still alive people that were handling these packages and my wish is that those people will read my book.
Dear Mary, a thank you letter from a WWII refugee to the People of America, a wonderful story for not only the people involved but anyone who needs a smile or a reminder that kindness is a good thing. A loving gesture doesn’t have to be on a grand scale, and it doesn’t have to take place at Christmas time. It’s always a great time to reach someone in need in any way you can because, well, you just never know.
Her name is Miriam Steiner-Aviezerand you can see a photo of her with her doll if you visit theUnited States Holocaust Memorial Museumin Washington DC. If you can’t make it to DC look up the museums page on Facebook and you can find it there.
To find the book just Google “Dear Mary by Miriam” and you’ll find it. We put a link to some of the online bookstores in the show notes for you. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from webtalkradio.com

The Author
Annielean is from a small community town not far from Toronto in Canada, her life has had many ups and downs but what has been steadfast throughout her entire life is her faith which at times greatly challenged her. Annielean is a mother, a widow and a whole host of other things, but the 5th June 1999 was a very important day in her life, for that was the day she was ordained. Ordination for those in the religious life means different things but, for Annielean it means dedicating her life be that long or short to the Lord’s workings, something she sees as an absolute privilege. Her favourite scriptural passage is John 3:16 KJV: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Being inspired by the Holy Spirit, Annielean began to write, portraying Christ’s love through these poems of divine power. So, let’s turn to the books.

The Author
Izaera lives as a free-minded person in the Toronto area of Canada. Firstly, he sees himself as a human being thus identifying with the rest of the world’s eight billion people. Secondly, he views his position on Mother Earth as a spiritual being, gifted with intellect, and manifested in this 3D realm called reality as the physical body known as Izaera. He references himself to a philosopher at heart and mechanic by trade. His overriding mission in life is to enlighten people as to who they are and how to reach deep inside themselves to release the original richness nature gifted them. Izaera also wants to show that the world of Naturist isn’t simply about nudity and getting your kit off, but more laying bare natures beauty, through tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness and fondness for each other.
So, let’s turn our attention to the book to see what entrancing viewpoints, opinions and concepts Izaera wants us to reflect upon and take on board.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/9Od0F9MZuhUThe Book
An introduction and fourteen curious chapters will take you on an eye-opening naturist journey. The book is written by an unashamed naturist talking about his own experiences and for him how liberating it is to shed one’s clothes at the end of a working day or week. For Izaera, discarding one’s garments is in many ways a means of casting aside worldly pressures that cloud our everyday judgements and reactions. Is this freeing lifestyle for everyone? Maybe not. But to some it is.
Why has Izaera written this book? Well with a non-mocking open mind he simply wants you to explore the options of what a naturist world looks like and what beneficial attributes could enhance your mental health, something which is on most people’s minds these days as we live in an ever increasing polarised and fractious world.
So let me whet your appetite as to what you can expect form this book by listing below the titles of each chapter.
What is Nature.
The Big Separation.
The New Mind.
The Environment.
Wealth vs Greed.
Don’t Buy Shit.
Education vs Schooling.
Reprogramming.
The Health of the Human Body.
Men Don’t Think.
Sex in the Naturist World.
Helping Others.
Enough Already.
Trying It All Together.

Thank you, Izaera for giving me a first-class ticket round your first published book. Now that you have dipped your toe into the world of writing, let’s hope more books will follow.
Amalia, a young woman in nineteenth-century Spain, faces a harrowing experience after being uprooted from her already troubled life and then thrust into an abusive nobleman’s household. Finding temporary solace in the arms of the future king of Spain, she becomes pregnant and is forced to flee for safety. Enduring hardship, including forced prostitution, Amalia reaches her lowest point and ultimately must forgive herself and confront her past to embrace an unlikely ally.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Let’s begin our adventure in 19th century Spain—a romantic time when corsets were so tight they could squeeze secrets out of you; when skirts were so voluminous they had a life of their own. Can you hear them rustling and bustling down the cobblestone streets echoing with the passionate rhythms of flamenco guitars.
This was a time when gentlemen peacocked around town in well tailored three-piece suits and top hats. The air was filled with excitement. Spain was a tapestry of vibrant colors, rich traditions, and an irresistible zest for life.
It was also a time when religion, power and family authority were concentrated mostly in the hands of men. A time governed by rigid patriarchal structure when men held sway over not just wealth and political authority, but they also dictated the upbringing of their children and in our adventure today it was time when all this power and influence in the hands of bad men was a recipe for disaster and for Amalia that is exactly what happened.
Holly Brough (Rollercoaster) It’s very real to life. It’s the fun of tragedy but it’s all the feels you’ve got love and companionship and then you have deception and intrigue and even murder but that’s what life is right? That’s what this is a rollercoaster ride for sure.
Riding that Roller Coaster is Amalia a fifteen year old girl, born in a Patriarchal society to an abusive father who does the kind of things that make you glad it’s not a real story — but at the same time grateful for the page-turning narrative that is titled “The Name I Choose” by Holly Brough.
Holly Brough (Screenplay) It was writing a screenplay for this movie that’s in my head.
That’s a great way to put it because this book does read like a movie. It’s amazing how quickly your mind will wash over the words while you take in the story and the characters. Here’s the premise…
Holly Brough (Premise) Holly explains the premise of the book where Amalia is sold into servitude by her abusive father into the household of Manuel Tudó, an abusive nobleman.
So, she had to find a way to come to terms with all that and she did that by first swallowing the bitter pill that is her new life and then trying to live it the best way she could which for us means more adventures. So she falls in love with the Duke of Cadiz, a fellow foodie.
Holly Brough (Food) He seduces her with yummy foods which is something she loves. She loves food. She’s a chef herself because she’s been cooking for her family for eight years and he’s also food connoisseur so that’s something they had in common and he would bring her these delicious treats to taste and whatever. They had a short love affair and he left her pregnant.
I just love this book’s visuals. You can see the foods and feel the romance in your minds eye while experiencing this roller coaster of a plot going up and down again as Poor Amalia, sold off and abused, finds love and connection only to be left pregnant and wanting, forced to find a way to deal with her newest of circumstances, her master and now her unborn child.
Holly Brough (Fled) And so she fled
Of course she did. To demonstrate how that played out Holly is going to read an excerpt from the book.
Holly Brough (Expert) Holly reads an expert from her book, The name I chose. The scene is one in which Amalia flees the Tudo’s home and finds a wanted poster with her face on it. Running through the forest in panic she meets two men, Commander Gilbert Channing and Captain Joshua Hastings who commit to helping her.
And so goes another plot twist that I think you’re going to enjoy. I would love to share more detail but where’s the fun in giving away a brilliantly told story. I will say that there is a lot more going on than you might think. This is not a typical romance novel. Far from it. Amali a is a strong determined woman and while the setting is in a different place and time, there are many aspects of her character that modern readers can relate to. For example, there comes a time when she is asked to compromise herself by letting “lonely strangers” share her bed.
Holly Brough (The Plan) And she’s like, I’m not going to give my child a whore for a mother. I’m not going to do that. They threatened to send him to a workhouse. Well she’s not gonna lose her child either so she formulated a plan.
It was a scheme featuring a field of poppies and some opium-laced tea—just the remedy for a weary traveler to transform their desires from passionate yearning to peaceful slumber. Intriguing, resourceful and a real demonstration of the kind of woman Amalia has become.
Holly Brough (Child of God) That’s kind of how Amalia is. She’s very resourceful. I believe women can be strong where they stand. They don’t have to step into someone else’s shoes to accomplish those goals and names I believe are limiting. They keep from becoming who we were meant to become and I believe we are here in this life, on this earth, at this time to learn and grow and become more than we see ourselves today and I believe the only name, the only label that we can claim that is limitless and lasting, everyone can claim it is child of God. If we truly embrace that then we know our potential is limitless. It is lasting. It is a former thing. We can continue to grow and become who we want to become. We can become the best of ourselves if we actually understand who we are at the core.
You are not what you are called. You are what you are inside. I told you there was more here than you might expect.
Holly Brough (Who we are) We know who we are by our actions when no-one else is looking. So if we think about that. What am I doing when no-one else is looking? That’s who I am and do I like that person? If I don’t I know I can improve. I can change because I am a child of God.
The Name I Choose by Holly Brough (Bruff) is getting great reviews and I’m not at all surprised that it pulls you into its world with captivating storytelling and a spot-on depiction of the historical era. The characters feel real, the insight into nineteenth-century Spanish culture is fascinating, and the plot keeps you guessing and the pages turning.
It’s available now online at all your favorite places to buy books. I put links to some of them in the shows description for you. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.
You can see Holly Brough on the Books on Air podcast, Books on Air on Youtube as well the Talking Books 0podcast and Talking Books on Youtube program.

Join Eartha as she uses an unconventional format to host her special guest, Rabbi Ephraim Barker. Rabbi Ephraim Barker serves his community as a Kosher Supervisor at the San Antonio Jewish Community Center and a Torah and Hebrew instructor. He brings a mystical perspective to how words influence verbal and non-verbal communication in the secular and spiritual realms. Rabbi Barker shares amazing glimpses of the effects of communication that even the world of the”digital and experience age” may not have explored.
In this podcast, you will be actively challenged to explore the effects of words in the new digital experience age. You are invited to be aware of the current high-tech age that we are in right now. In this two part series, we will delve into history, transitioning from the agricultural age, the industrial age, the information age, to the age of technology and the digital age. Be prepared to participate in mindful thoughts about how the information is being transmitted and explore the gap that continues to grow larger as the advancement of technology increases. Research indicates the next age after the digital age is called the “experience age”. The experience age is how we use digital and high-tech information and technologies. During this podcast, my special guest will guide you in an awareness that will spark new energies and change how you perceive and interact with digital and technical technologies, ensuring you feel fully engaged in the discussion.

If you’re asking yourself, “Is this all there is?”
Then, you’re in the right space.
When it comes to living your finest life, most people think it’s about trying harder, changing, or perfecting yourself to society’s standards.
Society convinces us that in order to succeed in our relationships, careers, and health, we need to search outside of ourselves.
That leads us to believe that we’re not worthy of more.
The truth is living your finest life is about becoming your most authentic self. And it’s closer than you think. I know because this is the work I do.
It happens when you decide to be bold and courageous, step outside the box, acknowledge your authenticity, and value what you offer to the world.
A life where time, money, and energy are abundant, allowing you to enjoy the things that truly matter.
A life rich with deeper connections and (even) more memorable experiences.
A life that’s custom-designed to fit YOUR DESIRES and aspirations.
Life happens FOR you! Your health, wealth, and love relationship take on new heights. The right people appear to support you and your BIG dreams. You find life-long fulfillment, joy, and a purpose. You become unapologetically you.
Your life, rich with meaning and depth, awaits.
Sound dreamy?! Let’s make it your reality…

Who collects history?
Is it the Gods?
Or the goddess Athena, like I?
It is NASA’s three satellites
It has names to describe as
1.Terra, Spanish Earth
2.Aqua, Spanish water
3.Aura, how beautiful a view
It had a weight
As much as an elephant
Does it look like one?
It’s an artificial brain, unlike anyone!
They’re orbiter’s
By name’s are
Gazing, gathering updates
Of our planet, Earth
With it all telling us info is like anyone!
Weather, wildfires, smokes, desert dust, volcanic plumes, clouds thickness, world’s forest, grass/wet lands, crops and even monitors oil spills
It would be
A go, if it could predict
Escapees from prison
For sure, it would be nice?
They now all 3 coming to end of an age
Slowly dying with their info inside
Despite without a brain
Did it ever have one?
We implanted one …
Can human transplant one to other humans?
For sure, in the near future
We can, a cat to cat brain can be done
Who can trust a man?
To predict God’s plan
To change destiny
To switch memory
Would their life
Meet a new height
Like these three satellites did?
All life’s things must all come to an end
Except for certain type of jellyfish
You do the search
You try to find its immortality
Can you be trusted, not 2make human immortal?
Man would go to any length
To buy time
To place it in a jar to bury it for themselves
Yet, die with this secret that defines time
It’s a creed of life’s expectancy
All man for themselves
If you’ve offspring’s
Thus, you’ll change your mind
You prefer to find a Time Machine
Have them live 4ever
No one deserves to die
That you love so much
Because, of man’s greed
The need to survive
The shortages of supplies
The reason’s all living should die
It is not a theory by me nor by I
It is that I believe in God’s creed
He died to save all we
Whom, are we not to die as He?
Going back to these three satellites
The need for record keeping it’s a must
Researchers and the best of minds
Must have a glass of wine
Perhaps than, they will collaborate
How to gather all their good brain cells
Instead of competing and destroying
Each other’s intel brain to a virus we don’t know
By collecting and gathering all the info
Onto a super NASA chip
Instead of collecting data
In a chip sheet, hope restores
We’ve learned NY Times Sunday May 4, 2024 page A11 titled: “What Happens When NASA Lises Its Eyes on the Earth”
Will they all die, it’s a yes
When we fall asleep
Will we wake up with an intellectual brain of info?
Will a new one, come?
Will we be feed futuristic updates?
Will our minds hunger for more?
Will we settle into day’s doom?
Will we assume it’s ok to look the other way?
Will we be forced to sway our brain wrong way?
Success always comes with a price!
It is right at of the times to seek more
If were to survive
Humans must always continue to strive
History always tells us
Repeats events can be avoided
With past pretense and prints of the past
Past not your wrong in your hearts but purity
If we humans, take a break
Science, will be now left be hide
Our future children will 4ever
Remain in pre-kindergarten
Maybe, there never be a break from
climate change; melting ice sheets and global warming: increase world’s temps
All due fossil fuels with Increase deforestation
Our planet in desperate need
Not if one, but all of us
If we to survive with prints left future generations
An effort of unselfishness must proceed
An intellectual understanding of our greed
Not to proceed without a love need
Love, must be always place first
To protect Homo sapiens
First from, our own selfish beast
Humans must aim to focus
On Earth’s needs …
Before all of man’s selfish needs with its greed
With a message for all humans
To make a sacrifice and a fruitful responsibility
To save the planet to start now, not yesterday
It’s today that’s a matter to matter 4-all-2mow’s
This is your, Poet Minerva A. Garcia

With all the craziness of the last week, this Crone has decided to unplug from the news for a while. It does nothing to encourage that sense of peace I can use in my own life most of the time and finding ways to encourage this sense of serenity that encourages spiritual balance is always beneficial. This extra includes some quick ways to work with the Four Physical Elements to encourage that peace in our own lives.

I always say this: Sales and Marketing are different. They support each other; they are like a marriage. Marketing gets people to agree to speak with you, while sales get the client or prospect to buy from you. My expertise is sales, and I have had to and continue to hire people to help me as I pivot or add to my existing business.
Whenever I have someone on this show who is an expert in Marketing, I listen and learn because it is not my zone of genius.

American history is being made everyday as we enter uncharted waters in American politics. What better way to understand what is happening other than listening to Doc Holliday‘s Rock Splitting Politics! We play a couple of clips that may be longer than usual but you must hear how U.S. Senator J.D. Vance whipsaws the savage questions of CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. And Professor Alan Dershowitz details why liberal democrats even know that America witnessed a kangaroo court last week. And underneath all the trial news, something very, very major happened that can swing many young voters toward Trump in 2024. Listen to this week’s amazing show, and also learn why Bill Clinton’s autobiography contains the very reason Donald J. Trump can win big in November.

With the trajectory of today’s society, we can all agree that parenting is difficult.
Choosing to foster and adopt proves to not be an easy feat. Parents are in constant competition with societal influences and sometimes feel it’s an uphill battle. These same parents are often told they will be supported in the rearing of their children and that adequate resources would be made available. But what happens when they discover the system that promised to help them, betrays them? What happens when you decide to enter into another realm of difficulty – fostering and adopting children who come with mental and physical baggage?
The author, Jenell Jones, is an adoptive mother who is still trying to find the answers to these questions. In this book, you will see through a mother’s eyes as she shares her deepest pain for her daughter, Mercy.
In the end, justice is necessary and peace is questionable.

The Author
Crystal Stewart is an award-winning author from Red Bluff, California, in the U.S. She best describes herself as a lightworker, mother, housewife, gardener, domestic goddess, baker, meditator. For me she’s all of these but with a wonderful zany attribute to compliment her overriding personality. On a professional note, Crystal is certified in numerous holistic practices which include, Clinically Certified Hypnotherapist, Theta Healing, Reiki, Metatronia Therapy. She’s a Reader and Energy Healer as well as a Spiritual Counsellor. One busy woman you might say.
If you have a gift Crystal believes that you should pursue that gift, for that is what she has done with having the gift to interact with awakening souls. Her first experience of encountering awakening souls was when she was eight, her parents had separated when she was three and she moved with her mother to Florida who at the time went back to school to re-educate herself to get a better job to support her family. During that time Crystal stayed at her grandparents. One night she woke from a sound sleep because she could sense something was coming, initially she was frightened with the energy that was surrounding her, but when she later reflected on the situation, she realised she could see three Dickensian characters. A reader later in her life explained the scenario to her and that these Dickensian characters were friends from another life just stopping by to say hello. This encounter and others that followed changed Crystal’s perception on both religious views and life in general, hence her decision to explore her gift and professionally help others who were experiencing similar things.
During a meditation Crystal was asked to co-write this book with spirit, so let’s open the book and see what she has to say about awakening souls.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/jB90fY56QZ0The Book
This book is about people who are starting to awaken. Crystal talks about her own experiences around awakening and encourages those that are presently encountering such events and those who have witnessed such occurrences in the past to embrace what they have participated in rather than fear what they have observed.
To give you all a brief taste as to what topical areas Crystal touches upon, I’m listing some of them below.
Aurora.
Religion.
Dreams.
Vision.
Experiences in Different Houses.
Channelling.
Conversations.
Things Spirit wants you to know.
All Crystal asks of you when you look at her book is to keep an open mind.

Thank you, Crystal, for sharing the experiences you have encountered both in your professional and personal life. I wish you well in your newfound career of writing.
In this episode, the Crone & Sage talk about the definition of a tradition and how it can’t be static if you are growing and evolving in your practices as a Witch. While the underlying structure may stay consistent (or not), how you practice and what words you may use can change. There is also a lively chat about personal “holy” days (holidays) such as one’s birthday or a special anniversary In the Practices segment, they discuss what they do as Witches to start their days and also what they do if they feel they need a “reset” for some reason during the day. There is a Birthday Candles Wish Quick Spell for you to try. Finally, the Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint talks about how you can use different sizes and shapes of candles to make Candle Magick even more effective.

I use stories in my sales conversations with prospects and when teaching. Years later, people approached me and said, “Do you remember when you taught us XYZ? I still think about that and remember how to use that concept with my clients.”
That defines success for me. Years later, the employee remembers the story but, more importantly, the concept and how to use it in real-life client and prospect conversations!
So, how important are stories in sales? Without getting lost in our story and keeping it grounded and relevant to the client or prospect in front of us…VERY!

If you’re asking yourself, “Is this all there is?”
Then, you’re in the right space.
When it comes to living your finest life, most people think it’s about trying harder, changing, or perfecting yourself to society’s standards.
Society convinces us that in order to succeed in our relationships, careers, and health, we need to search outside of ourselves.
That leads us to believe that we’re not worthy of more.
The truth is living your finest life is about becoming your most authentic self. And it’s closer than you think. I know because this is the work I do.
It happens when you decide to be bold and courageous, step outside the box, acknowledge your authenticity, and value what you offer to the world.
A life where time, money, and energy are abundant, allowing you to enjoy the things that truly matter.
A life rich with deeper connections and (even) more memorable experiences.
A life that’s custom-designed to fit YOUR DESIRES and aspirations.
Life happens FOR you! Your health, wealth, and love relationship take on new heights. The right people appear to support you and your BIG dreams. You find life-long fulfillment, joy, and a purpose. You become unapologetically you.
Your life, rich with meaning and depth, awaits.
Sound dreamy?! Let’s make it your reality…

Conventional medical science treats the body — including the mind — as a machine. If parts of the machine fail or become diseased, the standard approach is to treat the malady with chemicals, operate on damaged parts, or destroy unwanted cells with intense radiation. At times, in the instance of acute trauma, stabilization of bodily functions, or medical emergencies, conventional medical approaches are essential and work. But for many chronic conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, or auto-immune conditions, these methods fail. The failure of conventional treatment methods is no more evident than in the area of mental health. In her new book, Sacred Psychiatry, Dr. Judy Tsafrir, a member of the faculty at Harvard Medical School, argues that in the place of total reliance upon conventional allopathic treatment methods, psychiatry should focus on a multi-modal (or holistic) approach to improving mental health. These methods encompass those based on Eastern medicine, archetypal psychology, energy healing, homeopathy, and even astrology. Despite the widespread rejection of these methods by orthodox medical science, Dr. Tsafrir has seen them work on her patients and has altered her practice accordingly. Listen in as Philip and Dr. Tsafrir discuss this slow-developing (if not inevitable) paradigm shift in psychiatric care and what it means for the future of mental health.

The Author
Lieutenant Commander Dave Lassam, RAN(Ret) Joined the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in February 1978 as a recruit medic. Dave quickly progressed through the medic training with great success. He was posted over the forthcoming years to the hospitals of HMAS Cerberus, Albatross and Melbourne. Further postings and promotions led to ‘Sailor of the Year’ at HMAS Huon, coupled with ‘Instructor of the Year’ at HMAS Cerberus. Fresh promotions followed which ultimately led to him becoming a Lieutenant Commander.
Throughout Dave’s distinguished career in the RAN he experienced his fair share of overseas operations, Bali, Astute, Slipper, Quickstep, Sumatra and Catalyst to name but a few. What he saw and experienced as a medic officer ultimately effected his mental health. In 2016 he retired from naval duties on the grounds of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, plus receiving treatment for Prostate Cancer.
Outside of naval life (Civvy Street) Dave’s medical background is often called upon, he has frequently attended road traffic incident scenes, plus on numerous occasions at dog shows being asked for his assistance when a medical emergency has come to light.
Dave and his partner live in Melbourne, Australia, there house is dominated by dogs, dogs are their lives, hence the reference to the dog shows.
Why has Dave written this book about his life in the Royal Australian Navy, well let’s find out by turning our attention to the book.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/kpmoH6i8efcThe Book
When I look at this book, I don’t see standardize chapters, what I see is a collection of 60 -70 events, events that have shaped and influenced Dave’s life both in naval service and in his private life. But, for LCDR Dave Cameron Lassam, the Australian navy has and always will be a significant part of his life.
Just to give you all an idea of the events and topics that can be found in the book, I’m listing eight of them. The eight that we will be talking about in the interview that accompanies this written introduction.
HMAS Albatross 1979-80.
Deploying to the Indian Ocean.
Cockies.
HMAS Huon 1984-86.
The First Bali Bombing (12th October 2002) Headquarters Northern Command (HQNORCOM) and other Adventures.
Operation Sumatra Assist II. The Loss of a Sea King: Call Sign Shark02.
Operation Quickstep and Black Hawk Down.
USNS Mercy-2006.

Join Eartha as she uses an unconventional format to host her special guest, Rabbi Ephraim Barker. Rabbi Ephraim Barker serves his community as a Kosher Supervisor at the San Antonio Jewish Community Center and a Torah and Hebrew instructor. He brings a mystical perspective to how words influence verbal and non-verbal communication in the secular and spiritual realms. Rabbi Barker shares fantastic glimpses of the effects of communication that even the world of the”digital and experience age” may not have explored.
The digital age’s hallmark is accepting that we do not know everything. We “look it up” on our preferred search engine. We seek opportunities to synch our internal knowledge with the World Wide Web.
In this podcast, we aim to challenge your understanding of the effects of words in the mystical realm as you navigate life in this new digital experience age. We invite you to be open to the information presented by Rabbi Barker as he guides you beyond the digital experience age. This episode will stimulate your thoughts about the impact of our physical actions in this world on the spiritual world from a Jewish perspective. This is part two of our series. Use this opportunity to explore how mindful qualities can enhance your uniqueness in a super-tech environment.

Join Neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander rated in the top 100 most influential spiritual leaders. and influencers along with Pope Francis, the Dalai Lama and Oprah (who often interviews Eben) and Karen Newell with her studies of the Ancients and Acoustics which can heal even sleep and mental disorders.
AND our Barb Smith….. For a mind boggling and perhaps mindset altering interview.
Hear the startling research from university research which cites Mediumship, Reincarnation and Near-Death Experiences as statistically valid.
Challenge yourself, and at the very least find comfort and a sense of peace.
More about EBEN ALEXANDER III MD & KAREN NEWELL
Dr. Eben Alexander is currently best known as author of the NY Times best-seller, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife, The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion and Ordinary People are Proving the Afterlife, and his most recent book co-authored with Karen Newell, Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Heart of Consciousness.
Dr. Alexander was an academic neurosurgeon for 25 years, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston. In his academic career he authored many papers and made over 200 presentations at conferences and medical centers around the world. In that time, he personally dealt with hundreds of patients suffering from severe alterations in their level of consciousness due to trauma, brain tumors, aneurysms, or strokes.
He thought he had a very good idea of how the brain generates consciousness, mind and spirit. Then, in the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, he was driven into coma by a rare and mysterious bacterial meningitis-encephalitis of unknown cause. He spent a week in coma on a ventilator, his prospects for survival diminishing rapidly. On the seventh day, to the surprise of everyone, he started to awaken. Memories of his earthly life had been completely deleted inside of the coma, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm – more real than this earthly one!
His subsequent journey over the past 15+ years has led him to explore more deeply the lessons learned during his NDE, and to seek ways of connecting with this realm of consciousness without having to have another NDE. After meeting Karen Newell and testing a newly developed brain entrainment technology, he began a daily practice of meditation using sound.
Co-founder of Sacred Acoustics, Karen Newell has had a life-long passion for uncovering the true nature of our existence. She has found that by using sound, we can access deeper states of knowing within ourselves. Sacred Acoustics combines digital frequencies, sacred instruments, sounds of nature, and human vocals to create unique audio meditations that aide in reaching these states.
Together, they will share new perspectives on consciousness, science and spirituality, the value of using sound in meditation practice, and the power of unconditional love. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Eben Alexander and Karen Newell.

Boy, this quote hit home for me. I know I have failed many times in my life. We see quotes like this when we are in a crisis or facing failure and think, BS, I failed, I’m not good enough, or I don’t deserve the success.
And there lies the issue—our minds! The negative record player that is on repeat, saying we aren’t good enough for X, Y, or Z.
What I have learned is that in the face of failure, I try not to let failure, whether for reasons under my control or not, kill my drive to keep going and move forward.

This is your poet, Minerva A. Garcia. Here’s my poem titled: Sing A Song to Earth. Written SAT May 4, 2024 at 9AM Sing, sing and sing praises
Praise and sing, again
Sing, sing, sing again
To Earth, the beautiful
Praise to the Earth that gives you daily bread, thus, raise your glass, raise your glass of wine as it rains for you
Love your day, love it day and night, as never wants to give up
It cries, and heats up every time you burn her alive
Give and be thankful
To Mother Earth
Whom gave you birth
You been wrapped around by her love
Held, close you been!
Green she’s as seen
Crystal clear waters for you to drink
A horizon of prayers it sends to you
Don’t you ever, ever let her go!
She brings blessings to you and all
Hold on to her near and tight
Don’t let her out of your sight
It’s only right …
To give her all of your respects
Whenever you may want to trash her
Remember, it’s her watching and protecting you
She does day and night for you
Whom has that right not watch over her?
Know, that watch on your wrist you owe it to her
She’s that chlorophyll of oxygen giving-life
Earth revolves around the sun
365 days/6 hrs./9 minutes to be exact
Can you ever, ever, ever, question that? It’s a fact
1 billion years, our sun will dust out
Our Earth gone
As history by scientist tells us
How will 26th century look like?
A robotic world of intelligence, perhaps?
Will Homo sapiens live longer?
Will they find new life, in a new planet?
Will they die younger than us? X2
Will they have lived longer, then us
If you ever begin to doubt
Why Earth’s been around
4.54 +/- billions of years old (4.54 +/- 0.05 B)
Measured by rocks radiometrically
Turritopsis dohrnii, immortal jellyfish
Reverts to a full sexual immature, colonial stage
As reached sexual maturity
As lived a solace life form
There’re others in such companies
Of species Aurelia as is, Laodicea undulata
Worldwide temp to tropic waters

Age no more …
The future can bring man to near immortality
How to exact and extract an anti-aging piece
To inject a Homo to eternal life? That’s the key!
T.dohrnii begin life as microscopic piece
As free-living larvae, planulae
Giving rise to colony of polys
Thus, attaching sea floors
Now, what happens?
As branches forms?
All of the polyps become branched forms
Thus, never foreseen
It’s a science of a scene, where a creature lives
Even with a disease, in the Medulla stage, not
really, it’s a Medusa stage
Reverts to the polyp form as it relives, over again and over again
Question no more, there’s evidence
Am sure, of an oceanic creature immortality
Or an alien? Turritopsis dohrnii, a jellyfish
I like to conclude … it’s hopes 4fountain of youth?
Thank you. Minerva A. Garcia, Your Poet

If you’re asking yourself, “Is this all there is?”
Then, you’re in the right space.
When it comes to living your finest life, most people think it’s about trying harder, changing, or perfecting yourself to society’s standards.
Society convinces us that in order to succeed in our relationships, careers, and health, we need to search outside of ourselves.
That leads us to believe that we’re not worthy of more.
The truth is living your finest life is about becoming your most authentic self. And it’s closer than you think. I know because this is the work I do.
It happens when you decide to be bold and courageous, step outside the box, acknowledge your authenticity, and value what you offer to the world.
A life where time, money, and energy are abundant, allowing you to enjoy the things that truly matter.
A life rich with deeper connections and (even) more memorable experiences.
A life that’s custom-designed to fit YOUR DESIRES and aspirations.
Life happens FOR you! Your health, wealth, and love relationship take on new heights. The right people appear to support you and your BIG dreams. You find life-long fulfillment, joy, and a purpose. You become unapologetically you.
Your life, rich with meaning and depth, awaits.
Sound dreamy?! Let’s make it your reality…

For the past forty years he has been an active pastor for the United Church of Christ officiating in various roles of the church but mainly focusing on rebuilding challenging environments and reuniting congregations on what he sees as the right path. Rick does not see himself in the realms of conventionality and belonging, he prefers to see himself as a fitter in adapting to testing scenarios that need embracing and nurturing, all in the common cause of advancing the Lord’s work. Forty years of carrying out God’s work has for him being both a blessing and a privilege but being on pastoral call out duties 24/7 is something he doesn’t miss, as he immerses himself in new and more leisurely pursuits such as writing, but still maintaining a close relationship to the faith that has steered him on the righteous path for nearly if not all his life.

This is an outstanding book of exceptional quality, it falls under the genres of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Sword & Sorcery. For lovers of Tolkien this lengthy book is a must read.
There are two volumes to the book, the first volume has ten chapters, the second has twelve. As the subtitle alludes to it’s all about the reframing of a new world.
What causes a society or civilization to stand and fight or collapse and fall in the face of uncertain adversity is an integral part of the story creatively foretold in this spellbinding book? How will the Haafian’s fare in unchartered waters when pitied against the godless Kyykki? With the truth well and truly concealed who will prevail in this battle of power to survive into a new world?

I love this quote. If we didn’t continue to rise after we fail or fall, we wouldn’t have innovation, growth, new opportunities, and potentially a better life. Most people think it’s only about having the ability to achieve X, Y, or Z. The reality is resilience, and the choice to keep getting up and moving forward is very powerful. Especially in sales and business growth.

Join Eartha as she uses an unconventional format to host her special guest, Rabbi Ephraim Barker. Rabbi Ephraim Barker serves his community as a Kosher Supervisor at the San Antonio Jewish Community Center and a Torah and Hebrew instructor. He brings a mystical perspective to how words influence verbal and non-verbal communication in the secular and spiritual realms. Rabbi Barker shares amazing glimpses of the effects of communication that even the world of the”digital and experience age” may not have explored.
In this podcast, you will be actively challenged to explore the effects of words in the new digital experience age. You are invited to be aware of the current high-tech age that we are in right now. In this two part series, we will delve into history, transitioning from the agricultural age, the industrial age, the information age, to the age of technology and the digital age. Be prepared to participate in mindful thoughts about how the information is being transmitted and explore the gap that continues to grow larger as the advancement of technology increases. Research indicates the next age after the digital age is called the “experience age”. The experience age is how we use digital and high-tech information and technologies. During this podcast, my special guest will guide you in an awareness that will spark new energies and change how you perceive and interact with digital and technical technologies, ensuring you feel fully engaged in the discussion.

Dr. R. Craig is with us today for the forty-fifth time, which is about right, since we are coming up now on eleven years of Seek Reality, and Craig has been with us regularly every three or four months since we began in June of 2013. He had then published Your Eternal Self a few years before, and Roberta loved that book so much that she sponsored a speaking engagement for Craig in Austin. That is how they first met, and they have worked together closely ever since. Of all the leading experts on the afterlife worldwide, Craig Hogan is the leading expert, and his books are go-to resources on the subject. Reasons for What Happens to You in Your Life & Your Afterlife and Answers to Life’s Enduring Questions: From Science Discoveries and Afterlife Revelations are two that come to mind. And when people ask Roberta what the difference is between Craig’s books and her own, she tells them that Craig uses footnotes! Craig’s book about the central role of consciousness is called There is Nothing but Mind and Experiences. That is the topic for this interview. Craig’s websites are seekreality.com and afterlifeinstitute.org.

As a working mom and business owner for my kids’ entire lives, juggling my professional and personal life is always a challenge and something to be mindful of. After I had my kids and immediately went back to work, I had no idea the guilt and overwhelm that was possible. There is no way to prepare for the child’s schedule and your schedule. It can be challenging, but it is doable with the right team.
In today’s episode, we will discuss the importance of adjusting your mindset for exercise during pregnancy & postpartum and adjusting to the “mom” lifestyle & demands.
About Jordan Searles:
During her pregnancy, Jordan felt lost trying to figure out how to continue exercising while also keeping her body and baby safe.
Even with her education to become a certified gym teacher and holding the Guinness Book World Record for the best time, she accomplished a one-mile-long record for women earlier this year.
She wishes she had someone to connect with who could have guided her through the different stages and feelings of what it took to exercise during pregnancy and postpartum.
This motivated her to get her pre-and postnatal training specialist certification while on maternity leave with her son, Cameron. Through her knowledge and personal experience, she aims to educate women on prenatal and postpartum exercise and advocate for overall prenatal/postnatal women’s health.

The Author
Dr Emmett was a reconstructive plastic surgeon who after retirement from active surgery retrained for five years as an artist and sculptor. He simultaneously explored the nature, of the unconscious mind with a talented clairvoyant seeking the source of his inner voice, which had a profound influence on him stemming back to his childhood. He met Sri Sathya Sai Baba who sourced material for the clairvoyant, and was shown records of influences in his life, and in his previous lives. His father had been the only surgeon and doctor of Ayr North Queensland in WW2, thus an extremely busy person. With it being war time in Australia getting parts to fix things that broke were extremely difficult, so as a young boy he quickly learnt to be resourceful with repairs, the advice as to how to fix things Dr Emmett firmly believes came from his inner subconscious.
Dr Emmett’s medical career was highly successful, but during his professional life he became interested in the subconscious responses from his patients stemming from his own beliefs and experiences in inner subconsciousness. Dr Emmett, aided by Sai Baba gained so much knowledge in this field he began to see how the inner mind could have a profound impact on humanity, thus he has continued right up to the present day to explore further into the philosophy that surrounds this area of expertise.
Furthermore, Dr Emmett understands that we live our lives in our everyday conscious level but need sleep, which is a higher conscious level. He also advocates that we use the subconscious everyday and that we can access the higher conscious at a higher frequency again, which connects to the divine energy. Sai Baba said his main teaching is that we have God within, God is absolute consciousness.
So, with the above in mind let’s turn to the book.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/rDBpXZ6_4wkThe Book
The story of consciousness describes the mystery we are, where we come from before birth and where we go after death, plus the thinking both in our mind, subconscious and beyond. It is the dimensions of rational awareness of mind and heart we use for our ego and creative life on earth, and in other dimensions around us. Consciousness is an inner energy which infiltrates our developing brains right from embryo status, it forms part of who we are as a human, and it functions at many levels. Dr Emmett considers that with out consciousness at its various levels we wouldn’t exist in the manner that we see ourselves today.
When you open the book, you will see nineteen very insightful chapters talking about a whole host of topics all wonderfully set out to serve as a testament to the boundless potential of the human mind and the importance of harnessing our consciousness for the better of ourselves and the world through the power of love, understanding and forgiveness. Dr Emmett brings a wealth of his own personal experiences to this book drawing on his medical background, artistic creativity and spiritual wisdom.
Here are some of the topics that Dr Emmett talks about.
Divine Bliss.
Energies Beyond.
Faith Inspires.
Patterns of Thinking.
Mother and Child.
Drugs.
Spirituality and Science.
The Sai Baba Trilogy, Prema Sai Baba.

“The victim mindset dilutes the human potential. By not accepting personal responsibility for our circumstances, we greatly reduce our power to change them.” – Steve Maraboli

https://youtu.be/nHTMk5ze3voCheck Out These Highlights:
I all too often hear my clients say things like, “I have no choice with X situation, so I just put my head down and keep working.” This always makes me pause because I have learned that we always have a choice, yet sometimes it may feel like we are victims of our circumstances or situations.
The choices before us may not be easy to see, understand, or navigate, but there is always a choice because we are in control of our own lives, businesses, or careers.
My guest this week is back for a second time, and we are going to explore the notion of how to move from victim to victor.

Join the controversy.
Julianne and Saskia Zaitzieff have a candid conversation about the vagaries and standards of the ever-increasing MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS.
Are they an actual DANGER to our mental health?
Make up your own mind.
More about Saskia Zaitzieff
Saskia is a very happy retiree who has held many important positions throughout her life. She was a dog washer (all dog owners know how important THAT is).
She built barrel organs (minus the monkeys). She joined the circus (as a cook) and had a career as a radio presenter for a number of years. She has had 56 addresses and 40+ jobs over the years – thus the happy retirement on the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney.
In this unexpected Extra, the Crone updates our listeners about why we need to change our sequence with Dave’s health issue. She also weaves in some discussion about the necessity of adaptability as a Witch along with some suggestions about something to try when experiencing the unexpected in your life or practice. There is also some discussion about the new segment we are developing for when we run out of Metaphysical Kernels of Thought sometime in August.
Join Eartha as she shares the World Happiness Report 2024, emphasizing the importance of tailoring mindfulness practices for different age groups and the impact of well-being on happiness. The World Happiness Report focuses on Shakespeare’s “Seven Ages of Life”. Eartha challenges you to draw your perception of “later years” compared to Shakespeare- “The portrayal of later years as depressing.” Children and young adults are not happy, according to aggregate results from the World Health Reports. There is a place for mindfulness as a nonharmful, nonjudgmental action to support the younger population. Children and young adults want protection and involvement in social activities to enhance their well-being without harm and judgment. Eartha provides an overview of the World Happiness Report rankings from 2022 to 2024, highlighting changes in the United States ranking and the top 10 happiest countries while expressing concern about the increase in negativity among young people in lower-ranking countries.
Factors variables that contribute to explaining life evaluations according to individual perceptions.

If anyone had doubts about whether my guest or I have ADHD, in this episode of ADHD Focus we provided decisive proof that indeed we do. In a wide-ranging discussion we touched on girls/women with ADHD, student struggles with ADHD, the shame experienced by women with ADHD due to impossible-to-meet societal expectations of a woman, a housewife, a mother, and a person with a business – in any combination of those roles. And probably more…(I was in the moment, not taking (detailed) notes).
Pippa Simou has “lived experience” as the mother of an ADHD child and a woman surprised by her own “late diagnosis” of ADHD as an adult. The desire to help her son cope with his ADHD in every way possible led her to in-depth reading and inquiry about ADHD. She changed careers after teaching for 20 years to one of training teachers about ADHD and coaching other parents with ADHD children, after returning to school to get her Masters in Psychology degree. She is a coaching psychologist in London (yes, the London, the city in the UK), a coach/trainer, and is developing a unique program for mentoring young teen girls with ADHD, to “give them hope, to be the voice I wish I had heard”.
She is actively pursuing grants to fund research in ”proof of concept” for her mentoring program, the concept being that mentoring can prevent the painful “lived experience” girls with undiagnosed ADHD so commonly go through. [ If you have access to funds for this research, or know someone who does, please contact Pippa! ]
Father Nathan Castle is with us for the ninth time. He’s a Dominican priest who lives and works in a community of Dominican men and women serving the University of Arizona in Tucson. He is a gentle and very spiritual man, and almost thirty years ago, he was recruited by elevated beings not in bodies to do spirit rescue work with them. Close to twenty-five percent of people will go off-track for a time when they die, and they generally do that by their own choice. Then our wonderful friend Father Nathan is one of those who is trusted to help to rescue some of those people, when they feel ready to be rescued. Before I first met Father Nathan, I already knew quite a lot about more traditional spirit rescue work. And I even experimented with learning how to do it myself, with the late, great expert, Bruce Moen. But I never would have dreamed that the Catholic Church would sanction something like spirit rescue work! Then in 2019, I read Father Nathan’s terrific first book. Which was called Afterlife, Interrupted – Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over. And everything in it was completely consistent with what I had learned during all my decades of doing afterlife research. That book was followed by books two and three, with similar titles. His books are terrific. You are going to love this! Father Nathan’s website is Nathan-castle.com

I often see managers managing numbers or metrics versus coaching someone to grow and build new and improved skills. Those who know me have heard me often say, “We can’t coach a number or metric to gain market share or grow sales results. We need to coach our teams based on their personal skill growth needed to develop to generate new and more profitable businesses. In other words, behaviors drive numbers, not vice versa.”
During today’s show, we will discuss how to buy back tons of time by training and preparing sales reps to do the job.

Questions about Amalia’s past become more concerning when she’s uprooted at the young age of fifteen from the only life she knows and into an abusive nobleman’s household, Manuel Tudo. Tudo is the villain. He is a narcissistic pig. He is a lord of great repute and rules by instilling fear in others. He lives a double life and is relentless in getting what he wants.
As a young female in nineteenth-century Spain and a dominant patriarchal society, Amalia’s choices are limited. That couldn’t be more evident than in her employer’s household. Manuel Tudó watches Amalia closely. He says disturbing things about her mother and seeks opportunities to pursue her and catch her alone. His control over her and her future terrify her.
When Tudó leaves for the summer, Amalia finds solace in the arms of the future king of Spain, only to be discarded and pregnant. To keep her secret, she is forced to flee for her and her unborn child’s safety. By the way of two English naval officers, Amalia thinks she has found refuge on the small island of Menorca in the Balearic Sea. Despite the change in geographical location, however, her past continues to threaten her safety, and she realizes the male-dominated societal hierarchy remains the same. Amalia’s struggle to find her independence amid terrible events—including false promises and forced prostitution—brings her to her lowest point. She’s given an opportunity out of her situation, but first she has to forgive herself and those who hurt her to accept an unlikely ally.

Originally Published March 31, 2022 Join us for an enlightening conversation with Cheryl Krauter, author of the memoir “Odyssey of Ashes,” as she shares her journey of love, loss, and resilience. Cheryl recounts the unexpected tragedy of losing her beloved husband, John, and the profound impact it had on her life. She also shares openly how she found unexpected sources of strength and healing.
Tune in and gain insight into the complexities of loss and the human spirit’s capacity for resilience. Cheryl’s story is not only a personal exploration but also a testament to the power of community and finding meaning in life’s most challenging moments. You will not only be inspired by Cheryl’s transformative journey you will learn how to navigate life’s storms with courage, grace, and resilience.
About Cheryl Krauter: In ODYSSEY OF ASHES: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Letting Go, Cheryl Krauter describes losing her soulmate suddenly and unexpectedly. The night her beloved husband, John, died, he had decided to go sit in the family room, worried that he’d keep Cheryl awake while he took care of a terrible back ache. Shortly after he settled in his chair, Cheryl heard a series of frightening sounds, one like a roaring wind, then silence.
Told in two parts, this beautifully written memoir begins with the ritual of scattering John’s ashes and then moves to the mythological and spiritual, to address the rocky and isolating emotional terrain of grief. Connecting the two parts is Cheryl’s description of Los Días de los Muertos, the three days each year when she builds an altar to remember and honor her deceased loved ones.
John was an avid fly fisherman, dedicated to the sport, and as she wades through her grief, Cheryl finds herself literally wading through rivers. Every year, John had entered a charity contest to win a free weekend at a major fly-fishing spot. He did it to support Cheryl, who as a breast cancer survivor had been supported by the organization, but also because it was his dream to fish the best rivers.

Dr Mosto presently lives in Reston a community town in Virginia close to Washington DC. She was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina from Italian abstraction, hence a hint at the origin of her recipes which were handed down to her from her mother when she emigrated to the USA. The Spanish influence of course stems from Argentina a beautiful country in South America, whose exquisite culinary delights are also at the heart of this book, so let’s turn to the book.

The book is a collection of eleven Argentine recipes, the first half of the book is in English and the second part in Spanish: naturally so, with Argentina’s native tongue being Spanish.

Most of us love messing around in the kitchen creating delicious nosh, even when it all goes pear shape, but that’s the fun of it, even the worlds great chefs mess up at times. The Proverb, ‘too many cooks spoil the broth,’ springs to mind. But let’s have fun learning how to create and cook delicious meals with the young ones. The Photos of how the dishes should turn out are very good.
What recipes can we expect to see in this book, well let’s have a look:
Empanadas

As a retired tenured professor and Social Work Department Chair at Coker University, life’s pace has slightly eased now giving her more time to focus on what really matters to her as a black African American with a deep faith, a faith that has been her rock throughout her life’s journey. Now it’s time to write, to write about an area in her life as I have already touched upon her steadfast belief in the scriptures.

Dr Shirley was awarded a PhD from Capella University in Human Services with a specialization in Social and community services.

Let me give you an insight as to what you can expect from Dr Shirley’s well thought out and cleverly written account around the last book in the bible Revelation. A lot of people write their own conclusions to the events and happenings occurring here and Dr Shirley is no exception. But, for me what makes this book stand head and shoulders above the others I have reviewed is its clarity with ease of reading and understanding. The message is succinct and clear.
When you open the book, these are the headings you’ll find that will guide you to Dr Shirley’s own suppositions and understandings to this renowned book in the bible.
Foreword
Introduction
Chapter 1 Salutation, Voice and Vision
Chapter 2 The First Four Letters (Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira)
Chapter 3 The Last Three Letters (Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea)
Chapter 4 Interlude: The Rapture of the Church
Chapter 5 Revelation Chapter 4: Translated to a Heavenly Scene
Chapter 6 Revelation Chapter 5: Behold the Lamb

Chapter 10 Revelation Chapter 9: The Fifth and Sixth Trumpets
Chapter 11 Revelation Chapter 10: Another Strong Angel and the Open Book

Thank you, Dr Shirley for giving me the wonderful opportunity to chat to you about your book Reflections and Musings from the Book of Revelations: The Age of Apocalypse
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today I want to introduce you to a man that spent 35 years researching and writing a book about in-depth Bible study and it is deep. We’re going to get into some of his findings but before all that you might be wondering why it took so long? Well, it was because of the murder…
Arthur Rutledge – I went to prison for Killing a man that was robbing me. He robbed me with a gun and I killed him with a knife and I went to prison.
Going through something as scary as that and knowing you’ve got a tough road ahead, locked up, away from society, dealing with all the challenges of prison life can be a lot to handle. That’s when a lot of folks start leaning on their faith, looking for some guidance and comfort from something bigger than themselves.
Arthur Rutledge – I didn’t know God. Didn’t know a thing about God, nothin’! I read the Bible while I was in prison and I heard what people said and I said look God if you are half of what you say you are. If you are even a fraction of what you say you are then you will come right here, right now to my Jail cell and he did.
A brave thing to do, issuing an Ultimatum to God but when you’re locked up, what do you have to lose.
Arthur Rutledge – I couldn’t believe what happened because I never knew God and when this happened it just floored me. He anointed me with Spirit and he put a couple of Angels with me to write this book called Legacy Of The Melkizadek.
That title requires a bit of explanation and I’m going to do the best I can here; Melchizedek is not Jesus; he is a representation or prefiguring of Jesus. He shows up suddenly, offers a gift of bread and wine, and gets a thank-you gift from a guy named Abram (who later becomes Abraham). Now we don’t know much about him because he’s mysterious, and for the sake of this episode what’s important to know is that he predates Jesus and helps us to understand some important things about Jesus and ultimately his priesthood – or his service to mankind. His book takes us back to the beginning, and attempts to unravel all the mysteries about God the Creator.
Arthur Rutledge – So I write this book in prison. I did thirty three years and three months in prison and I wrote this book and I brought back 300 pages of handwritten notes and I finished it once I got out. I got up at three o’clock every morning and I worked on the book and I went to work . In thirty five years I completed it with extra biblical stuff that I needed that I couldn’t get in prison out here. He delivered everything I could possibly need and now when he brings me out of prison he delivered me the rest of it and so I wrote this book called Legacy Of The Melkizadek which the church calls Legacy Of The Mekizadek which is the priesthood of which Jesus is the highest priest.
In the book Arthur offers up a complete explanation of the plan of salvation for man, he explains evolution, and revelations…and if you’re curious he says yes we are living in the “End Times” and to be more specific they will begin with the second financial crash, which is going to occur in about 5 years but he starts out with a brief history of Israel.
Arthur Rutledge – The first thing I started off with is a brief history of Israel, a divided nation because its sets a pattern and a stage for everything that happens next, That where God begins. He starts to let himself be known to the world through Isreal that’s why he did what he did with ‘em. I want myself to be known through you to the world.
If you have a deep knowledge of religion or an intense curiosity about all things biblical this may be a book you want to look into. Something in it that I found very intriguing was a point he made about love. Love raises our personal vibration and it’s a good thing.
We know love is important and we are taught to love one another, to forgive to live by the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” these are the basics of being a good person or you could say the core of building righteous character, the kind that was taught by Jesus. Arthur explains why.
Arthur Rutledge – It is parent and child love between the father and the son to carry forth this discipline of righteous character. The father and the son, the love between them is the Holy Spirit. It’s not a he, it’s a disposition or frame of mind. The bonding of parent and child love between the Father and the Son is the Holy Spirit in this context. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit or disposition of God. God is love. ‘Did I not say I have loved you as the Father loved me?’ That’s fatherly love. “Love one another as I have loved you”, that’s John 15:12. I also say if you Blaspheme the other or the son that can be forgiven and that’s at Mark 3:28, 29 but Blast me of the Holy Spirit the love between the Father and Son and that cannot be forgiven. Thus the father and the son must hold the love they have for one another higher than themselves. Are you following me so far?
Yes, Higher Love is not just a song by Steve Winwood…or Whitney Houston for that matter. He says one of the problems with our society is that we are drifting away from Family values and those values are the very things that are supposed to hold us together. He also says the Holy Spirit has not been explained properly by mainstream religions. It is the love between God and his son Jesus and that point is very important.
Arthur Rutledge – Because if Love fails on a large scale mankind will cease to exist. It preserves us. It keeps us from pulling the trigger on the big Bomb, Get it?
You can’t annihilate the ones you love. Arthur talks about the Virgin Birth and technology, he explains Baptism and why we do it in the name of Jesus. He details the first and second advent of Jesus…
Arthur Rutledge – I explain every single mystery of the book completely and I I give them all the scriptures and I explain all the mysteries that nobody ever understood for thousands of years. So the angels that God gave me to do this book gave me a direct revelation.
One of his goals was to completely put the entire Bible in sync with no contradictions — which is a major sticking point for critics of the Bible. One of the biggest complaints of those who say the Bible is not a divine work, is that there are contradictions in it which he says were caused by mistranslation.
So he did extensive translational work, putting this book together which clears up those errors in the translation and resolves the contradictions caused by these translations.
He also says the complete story of God the Creator has been held back until now, because now is the time for these things to be known — here at the end of days.
Arthur Rutledge – I bought a bunch of copies and sold them around to people I knew. I talked to them and they were very interested in studying the word of God. I mentioned my book and had one guy pay me double what I asked for. He is a constable that works here and he’s a deep bible student. He said. “That is an eye opener, I loved it. All the questions I always wondered about and the mysteries, and how this whole thing works it blew me away. You were right on point”.

Monica Rothgery, former COO of KFC US, part of Yum Brands, shares inspiring lessons about excellence along with surprising insights into fast food kitchens. Monica’s recent book, “Lessons from the Drive-Thru: Real Life Wisdom for Frontline Leaders” goes beyond optimal team management practices and provides great advice for everyone who is pursuing excellence in their lives.
A great tip to attract and retain loyal employees and to create an environment where team members feel valued is to invest both monetary and relationship capital. Engagement is essential. Take the time to learn about your team members and always show respect. The team members impact the customer experience. Monica’s advice to optimize customer service is to not overreact or take things personally. She taught her team members to respond to a frustrated customer by saying: “That shouldn’t have happened. Let me fix it for you.” That validating response can help diffuse emotions. Her customer service tip can be applied in many home or business life situations. She emphasized that frontline management greatly impacts people, not only the team members but also the customers. Many first jobs are at fast food restaurants. Management needs to realize that they have the power to positively change lives.
https://youtu.be/Ni2utLouccwYou may be surprised to learn about the time and effort KFC and Yum Brands take to innovate new flavors and offerings. The Food Innovation Team even studies trends in fine dining as part of their innovation and creation approach. Chicken and Waffles and Nashville Hot are examples of this practice.
Bottom line, Monica encourages everyone to increase the top line of life, i.e. finding and doing the things that bring joy. She recommends writing down what depletes you and what brings you joy and fulfillment and to focus always on the joy. Monica reminds us that abundance follows joy.

After COVID, I was forced to pivot and create an entire digital library of training and new business outreach. Understanding this new world of online automation, branding, and client outreach required a huge learning curve.

Fast-forward: The value of being digitized was life-changing for me and my business, from growing my client base to creating tremendous flexibility to working and teaching from wherever I wished.

If you’re asking yourself, “Is this all there is?”
Then, you’re in the right space.
When it comes to living your finest life, most people think it’s about trying harder, changing, or perfecting yourself to society’s standards.
Society convinces us that in order to succeed in our relationships, careers, and health, we need to search outside of ourselves.
That leads us to believe that we’re not worthy of more.
The truth is living your finest life is about becoming your most authentic self. And it’s closer than you think. I know because this is the work I do.
It happens when you decide to be bold and courageous, step outside the box, acknowledge your authenticity, and value what you offer to the world.
A life where time, money, and energy are abundant, allowing you to enjoy the things that truly matter.
A life rich with deeper connections and (even) more memorable experiences.
A life that’s custom-designed to fit YOUR DESIRES and aspirations.
Life happens FOR you! Your health, wealth, and love relationship take on new heights. The right people appear to support you and your BIG dreams. You find life-long fulfillment, joy, and a purpose. You become unapologetically you.
Your life, rich with meaning and depth, awaits.
Sound dreamy?! Let’s make it your reality…

Don’t miss this week’s show for part 2 with the co-founder of RFK Jr.’s Super PAC, Tony Lyons. Tony’s insight into the third party campaign of Robert Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign is astounding. You will want to listen to every word and see how this Kennedy is lighting the fires to get on all 50 states’ presidential ballots—and that is no easy task for independents. This fascinating interview will show the strength of RFK, Jr. The amount of time and money that Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee is spending against Kennedy tells the tale of how much they fear his candidacy.

The Author
Linda Dooks was born and raised in a farming community in North Yorkshire a proud county of the UK. As child she would often doodle stories in a notebook, a notebook she hid from her parents who thought writing when other chores needed to be attended to, a waste of time, they often wondered why Linda dilly-dallied when taking the dog for a walk, the walk was brief but a necessary activity to get some doodling done. A trip to the local library on a Saturday was very often the hi-light of Linda’s week. The librarian there would keep all of Linda’s short stories she had written in a box under the counter, so that she could revisit them, plus allow her to read some of her favourite authors, Agatha Christie and Arthur Conon Doyle.
Having left school to earn a living and learning that her librarian had died, Linda forgot about the box under the counter and often thinks what happened to it, but she didn’t forget about her desire to write, and picked that up again after the birth of her children. Linda joined a writing class in Hemsley, North Yorkshire, and with renewed encouragement wrote her children’s stories based on the North York Moors Railway adventures, maybe one day she will publish them. Let’s hope so.
Now retired from the local council and having more time to focus on the one thing she has loved throughout her life, Linda has written this debut novel, with the full support of her husband Peter and children Emma and Richard, plus a few other friends from nearby writing fraternities. So, let’s turn our attention to the book.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/oFepxHSBuCwThe Book
Sixty-five stunning but brief chapters are wrapped up in this book to bring you a scintillating story about the character Rose Watson a sixteen-year-old girl born in North Yorkshire in the UK in 1897. Her early years were profoundly impacted upon by the death of her mother, which left her in an uncompromising family situation with an uncaring father and a precarious unwanted situation with regards to her brother whose advances towards her probably bordered on incestuous had she allowed matters to unfold. Growing up in a male dominated farming community with little sympathy Rose needed to escape her world of drudgery and unpalatable attention, a new world called with new prospects but equally a world adorned with new dangers.
Rose emigrates to America, New York to be precise, the boat journey across the Atlantic from Liverpool to Ellis Island New York was long and arduous. Agnes a budding singer who she meets lures her into New York’s dubious and dangerous underworld. Rose quickly learns that the tough streets of New York are not paved in gold. Rose’s one saving grace is that of Thomas Blackwood an American who she met while travelling to America. Does romance come her way or does another cruel lesson of life lurk around the corner. Hmm…I know what happens, but if you want to find out, then this historical fiction book which has been carefully researched to bring a sense of authenticity to it, is waiting for you to flick through its pages. So, flick through them.
The narrative is very well written, it’s an easy read, but a read packed with the reality of those times and what life was like then for a young girl braving a new adventure.

The Author
Arthur Rutledge was born in Houston, Texas in the USA, at the age of four his family moved to a small town called Fairfield where he grew up. Arthur now lives in Dallas the place synonymous with the assassination of John F Kennedy on the 22nd of November 1963.
He describes himself as a fiery motivated individual, putting that gene characteristic down to his genealogy routes stemming from his grandparents. On his Father’s side his grandmother was a native American from the Comanche people, his grandfather on the other hand was of Irish abstraction. On his mother’s side of the family his grandfather was of English heritage and his grandmother was of Irish stock. Well, there’s a hereditary line for the melting pot.
School wasn’t his forte, academia bored him, however his innate sense of practicality amongst the trades enabled him to have a very good lifestyle. Unfortunately, an incident took place in his life, the outcome of which saw him confined for thirty-three years in a U.S. state penitentiary. It was there that the concept and the inner workings of this book began, so let’s turn our attention to the book to discover what it contains and holds for future readers.

Legacy of the Melkizadek (Melchizedek) is the most intriguing and informative revelation from the Creator God of the entire history of the world! Those things uttered by the ‘Seven Thunders’ in (Rev.Ch.10), which John the Apostle was not allowed to write. The book also touches upon the history of Yahweh Yahshua the Creator God before he arrived in this sector of the galaxy. Also, included is a complete and thorough explanation of the Melchizedek priesthood, a priesthood that all believers are baptized into. The Book explains the relationship covenant (The Ten Commandments) in detail, plus grants a further discussion around the plan of salvation for man.
The author has spent thirty-five-years looking at the numerous translations that are in existence, what misconceptions he has witnessed they have been readdressed in this book. When you open the book you will see, it’s a short book and that it has been divided up into several sections starting with the prologue, through to a list of appendages. This book is not intended to be a cosy bedtime read, more the book that makes you stop and think. Now, whether you agree or not with the authors views, interpretations around the legacy of the Melchizedek, I leave that judgement for you to ponder on, once you have read the book. It has many ideological points that may fascinate you, and I’ll say no more.

If you’re asking yourself, “Is this all there is?”
Then, you’re in the right space.
When it comes to living your finest life, most people think it’s about trying harder, changing, or perfecting yourself to society’s standards.
Society convinces us that in order to succeed in our relationships, careers, and health, we need to search outside of ourselves.
That leads us to believe that we’re not worthy of more.
The truth is living your finest life is about becoming your most authentic self. And it’s closer than you think. I know because this is the work I do.
It happens when you decide to be bold and courageous, step outside the box, acknowledge your authenticity, and value what you offer to the world.
A life where time, money, and energy are abundant, allowing you to enjoy the things that truly matter.
A life rich with deeper connections and (even) more memorable experiences.
A life that’s custom-designed to fit YOUR DESIRES and aspirations.
Life happens FOR you! Your health, wealth, and love relationship take on new heights. The right people appear to support you and your BIG dreams. You find life-long fulfillment, joy, and a purpose. You become unapologetically you.
Your life, rich with meaning and depth, awaits.
Sound dreamy?! Let’s make it your reality…

“A bad habit appearing at many companies is to put reps in the unenviable position of trying to hit their quota by feverishly working through as many opportunities as they can. But this isn’t necessarily the ideal solution. Data-driven sales teams are finding that it is usually more effective to spend more time on qualification earlier in a sales cycle in an effort to only deliver the best opportunities to highly paid account executives.” – Fergal Glynn

People often lump sales and marketing together and say, “You’re good at marketing and sales.” I immediately correct them and say I am good at teaching how to improve sales processes and improve client and prospect conversations to close more sales, not the marketing, copy, and behind-the-scenes that generate cold leads.
There is a difference in the skills needed to have effective marketing results versus profitable sales results.

Originally Published February 23, 2022 The program features David Richman’s transition from a sedentary lifestyle to athlete and philanthropist. Through his books, “Winning in the Middle of the Pack” and “The Circle of Lives,” he shares stories of overcoming life’s obstacles, especially cancer. He shares the importance of forming deep connections with loved ones, navigating difficult conversations, and finding resilience in the face of adversity. At the root of it all. David emphasizes the need for authenticity and heart-centered communication to live a fulfilling life. Note: Proceeds from the sale of his book go to support cancer-focused charities.
About David Richman: David is an entrepreneur, author, public speaker, athlete, and philanthropist who uses the lessons learned in his life to enrich and inspire others. As a former sedentary, over-weight, smoker, David knew that he needed to focus not on what others wanted out of him, but on what he wanted out of life. With his first book, Winning in the Middle of the Pack, David discussed how to get more out of ourselves than ever imagined. Now, David shares the interconnected stories of others overcoming obstacles—specifically cancer—in his second book Cycle of Lives.

Change is occurring, causing stress and uncertainty. In a world of advancing technology, it seems that one-on-one communication, conflict management, and collaboration “people skills” require more coaching for youngsters to develop their “soft skills.” During this episode, I invited Mrs. Ankita Swali, owner of iCode Stone Oak, as my special guest for this two-part episode. Mrs. Swali’s educational background makes her the perfect entrepreneur. As an elementary school teacher, Ankita shares her observations on the changes she has witnessed over the past five years in elementary and middle school children. Ankita embraces change, prepares for change, and exemplifies an openness to place a footprint on the future by taking her teaching career to a new level. She recognizes interpersonal and traditional skills must be nurtured for children’s future to be successful. Technology has metamorphosed into our current culture and evolved into a techno-world in how we do business, how education systems are scaffolded, and how the entertainment system draws the attention of the youth. I invite you to join me with an open mind in learning how technology is built using iCode, soft skills, and mindfulness.

Our wonderful friend Mark Gober is with us for the eighth time. Mark is a brilliant Princeton graduate, and he is out to lovingly red-pill the world! His first book was An End to Upside Down Thinking – Dispelling the Myth that the Brain Produces Consciousness, and the Implications for Everyday Life. That book was fabulous, and he followed it with five more terrific books, each more extreme and even better than the one before it. The next four were An End to Upside Down Living – Reorienting Our Consciousness to Live Better and Save the Human Species; then came An End to Upside Down Liberty – Turning Traditional Political Thinking on Its Head to Break Free from Enslavement; and then came An End to Upside Down Contact – UFOs, Aliens, and Spirits, and Why Their Ongoing Interaction with Human Civilization Matters; and An End to the Upside Down Reset – The Leftist Vision for Society Under the “Great Reset” and How It Can Fool Caring People into Supporting Harmful Causes. And now comes An End to Upside Down Medicine – And why Consciousness is Needed for a New Paradigm of Health. This latest book is our topic for today. Mark writes beautifully, and he writes very accessibly. His website is markgober.com.

Don’t miss this week’s show with the co-founder of RFK Jr.’s Super PAC, Tony Lyons. Tony’s insight into the third party campaign of Robert Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign is astounding. You will want to listen to every word and see how this Kennedy is lighting the fires to get on all 50 states’ presidential ballots—and that is no easy task for independents. This fascinating interview will show the strength of RFK, Jr. The amount of time and money that Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee is spending against Kennedy tells the tale of how much they fear his candidacy. Are the Democrats afraid that RFK Jr. could make this a two-person race between Trump and RFK, Jr.? Wow, wouldn’t that come out of left field, literally!

In this episode we draw upon the complementary work of two prominent researchers and authors in the area of leadership and human effectiveness. They stress the importance of being a net giver over a net taker in achieving success, in leadership and in life.
In this episode, the Crone & Sage discuss how formal consecration of items we may end up with for our rituals and magick isn’t necessary because we believe that everything is already sacred. However, we also think that items carry energy “imprints” from their travels before they end up with us and that these items can benefit from a period of acclimation before being used. Whether they choose to keep these energies, such as something a maker has brought to an item through their creating, or discard those that don’t mesh with their own nature, giving them time to figure that out can be beneficial. In our Practices segment where we talk about what we do and how we do what we do, a lively discussion about where we may choose to work magick is available. We also include a New Perspectives Quarter Quick Spell in honor of the upcoming change into the Times of Beltane. Finally, the Sage discusses how sometimes our path may be smooth and easy and other times it seems as if we are moving through a jungle needing a machete and that we may need to take some time to understand why.

The Author
James Allen Johnson was born in Berry a small farming rural town in the U.S. State of Alabama. James’ early years where certainly lean, but not dirt poor in comparison to some households back then. Coming from a large family of eight, all of whom had to work on the local white owned farms picking cotton and vegetables to support the family taught James a fundamental lesson in life, that being if you want something then you have to earn it by doing an honest day’s work. His father David worked in a nearby steel mill, his mother Kathleen worked as a domestic for one of the local white farmer’s families, so the family was slightly better off financially as opposed to those that relied solely on farm work. Like most black African Americans from the deep American South, the role of the church and God’s standing both back then and now played and still play a key fundamental part of both James’ family and community life. James’ faith is partly responsible for the coming about of this book, but I make it very clear this book is an alien adventure.
James currently lives in Tuscaloosa Alabama with his wife of forty-one -years Beatrice. He has three grown up children. James required a BSc in Accounting from the University of Alabama, with a further MBA. He runs his own business now that he is officially a retired civil service employee who was involved in the financial regulator side of things. Over here in the UK accountants or financial experts are commonly known as ‘Number Crunchers,’ no doubt, in the USA a similar term of endearment is attached to those in that line of profession.
James has written numerous books but, ‘An American Abduction’ is his first published work that he put out last year so let’s briefly turn to the book.
Check out our video chat here!

Lately, many people in their 30s have asked me how I was able to start a business, raise my two boys (who played travel hockey from the age of 5), and maintain a marriage for 32 years.
The short answer is that I just put one foot in front of the other. Truly, there was no master’s plan when I was in my 30s, knowing how to create a wonderful business and life. I’ve learned to set clear boundaries with every choice, but that has come over time.
This is why I chose this quote for today. It always boils down to boundaries and choices. We are the only ones who can control our future, so setting clear boundaries that you can live with is crucial.

If you’re asking yourself, “Is this all there is?”
Then, you’re in the right space.
When it comes to living your finest life, most people think it’s about trying harder, changing, or perfecting yourself to society’s standards.
Society convinces us that in order to succeed in our relationships, careers, and health, we need to search outside of ourselves.
That leads us to believe that we’re not worthy of more.
Living your finest life is about becoming your most authentic self. And it’s closer than you think. I know because this is the work I do.
It happens when you decide to be bold and courageous, step outside the box, acknowledge your authenticity, and value what you offer to the world.
A life where time, money, and energy are abundant, allowing you to enjoy the things that truly matter.
A life rich with deeper connections and (even) more memorable experiences.
A life that’s custom-designed to fit YOUR DESIRES and aspirations.
Life happens FOR you! Your health, wealth, and love relationship take on new heights. The right people appear to support you and your BIG dreams. You find life-long fulfillment, joy, and a purpose. You become unapologetically you.
Your life, rich with meaning and depth, awaits.
Sound dreamy?! Let’s make it your reality…

Mikey Morgan is a Sixth-Level Being who last had lived on earth in the 1600s, and who wanted so much to help us now that he took a voluntary twenty-year lifetime that ended in 2007 so he could speak to us in the voice of a modern American 20-year-old. So now he answers our questions about the afterlife and the greater reality through his mother of his most recent lifetime, Carol Morgan. Today our guests are Carol and Mikey Morgan, who are with us for the 23rd time. Roberta tells us that she has spent more than fifty years researching the afterlife and the greater reality, and Mikey knows a lot more about both than she does! His answers are always accurate. He never makes a mistake. And then he often adds an interesting twist that she didn’t know about, but that she might have wondered about. So Mikey communicates with us now from very near the Godhead level, and His answering our questions this way is a wonderful gift of service to the world! Mikey doesn’t have a website, but if you would like to ask him a question you can email it to Roberta at info@robertagrimes.com.

In this episode we build on the Action Planning or Project Planning process discussed earlier in this series and in my book Making and Fulfilling Your Dreams as a Leader; Some additional structure and concepts are added to help you successfully plan and manage your larger projects.
This week the Crone & Sage started out discussing the Metaphysical Kernel of Thought to break down why we choose to bless rather than cleanse ourselves, objects, places, etc. Then our Practices section led to not only a Discussion about those little daily things we do but it seemed to fit the idea of using a blessing as part of our everyday stuff as well. Finally, (just to keep a theme going which never really happens) today’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint gives you three different small practices we often do as part of our day and the specifics of what we do so that you can try them yourself if you want.
Join Doc Holliday this week as he looks into what the left wing causes have brought to our college campuses.

Trust is such an interesting and important word. We think we know what it means but don’t always know how to earn it.
Becoming a trusted partner isn’t about discounting the fees you charge; it’s about the relationship you continue to build through the years. It takes effort, honesty, care, patience, and curiosity about what happens in your clients’ lives and businesses year after year.

Ray Catania is with us for the second time. He is a sincere seeker as well as an author, a metaphysical teacher, a theorist, and a life coach, and he’s the visionary behind Limitless Publications, Limitless Coaching, and Scientific Spirituality for the Modern Human. Ray has written two books so far in his “Awakening Series”: The first is The Atheist and The Afterlife. We talked about that one the last time he was here. His second book is You Are Still Alive, Now Act Like It. So that is our topic for today. Ray says that it is his insights that make him a sought-after practitioner, but in fact, Roberta says that “he is just extremely, and spookily, very psychic.” His publicist calls him a sought-after practitioner in scientific-spiritualism, and the practical applications of metaphysics. He has a thriving private practice, where he guides individuals on their transformative journeys. Like so many people nowadays, Ray has also had a near-death experience. And he is an ordained minister with master certifications in life coaching, Reiki, and meditation. He is now pursuing his doctorate degree in Metaphysical-Parapsychology. Ray Catania combines his extensive formal education with private education with leaders in his field, including intuitives, mediums, shamans, and energy healers. He says, “Find your WHY.

The Author
Holly Brough is from the state of Utah in the U.S. She’s married and has devoted most of her married life to her husband and three children. I can’t help but wonder how her life would have turned out had she not been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of nineteen; would she have gone down the theatrical path of dance, acting and singing, something she had set her heart on. I can only image Holly herself wondering how her life would have been very different, had it not been for a cruel twist of faith, that took that dream away from her.
Despite some life changing events that have restricted, but not destabilized her life, the one thing that has steadfastly been at the backbone of who she is, is her faith in God, he has been the glue that has guided her through both the good and challenging times in her life, and that is something she is truly grateful for. Is he responsible for her turning not only to writing but painting as well, in her eyes probably so, for the past six years Holly has found water colour painting extremely therapeutic and exhilarating.
Living with dyslexia, the prospect of writing a book somewhat daunted Holly and considering she didn’t really appreciate the enjoyment of reading until the birth of her first child, you start to get a sense of what an achievement writing this book means to Holly, and we can only hope that she continues to write with such voracity and vigour as more books roll off the conveyor belt. The one thing that sticks in her memory with regards to her literary skills, is what her scripture tutor told her, and that was to read the scriptures every day, by doing so she would overcome her limitations both in reading and comprehension. All I can say is that Holly must have swallowed the whole bible to write a book of this depth and intrigue.
Let’s hope for more books, but on the note of books let’s turn our attention to this one.

The story revolves around Amalia and is set in nineteenth century Spain. As a young Fifteen-year-old Amalia’s life takes a different course put her past cannot be eradicated. What of that past! well that’s a journey well worth exploring in the book. However, her future is equally precarious, Spanish patriarchal society, abusive controlling nobility, limiting choices, Royal frolicking’s, pregnancies followed by abandonment, and escaping for safety, only to be deceived into another layer of entrapment by a male dominated society whose cold-hearted approach leads to prostitution for survival. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel, but at what price?
Want to know more? Well, I’m not going to divulge anything that will spoil your intrigue as to the very essence of what this magnificent plot reveals about Amalia and her life back then. You’ll have to buy and read the book to find out. Enjoy I did.

Thank you, Holly for giving me the wonderful opportunity to chat to you about your book ‘The Name I choose.’
‘Legacy Of The Melkizadek’ (commonly translitrater as Mekchizedek) is the most intriguing and informative revelation from the Creator God of the entire history of the world! Those things that were uttered by the ‘Seven Thunders’ in (Rev. Ch. 10), which the John the apostle was not allowed to write, are given herein this book. Along with much of the history of Yahweh Yahshua the Creator God before He arrived in this sector of the galaxy.
Included is a complete and thorough explanation of the Melkizadek (Melchizedek) Priesthood. This Priesthood being the Priesthood that all believers are baptized into. And also explains the Relationship covenant (The Ten Commandments) in complete detail. Also, a complete explanation of the plan of salvation for man. And about the Angles that are also required to incarnate as men and seek salvation. (This being the major reason the Angles led by Lucifer rebelled.)
Also, there is extensive translatonal work, which the author spent 35-years on that clears up errors in the translations that we have today. This also resolving the contradictions caused by these mistranslations. This creating a continuity of interrpretation which anyone with a little common sense can readily follow. For the Creator God is a commonsense God! This and much, much more, are given herein this once in the history of the world reading, ‘Legacy Of The Melkizadek’.
https://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Melkizadek-Arthur-Rutledge/dp/B0BVGJ5RNL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2Y9B0XBOEK90E&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3YxHShDe375eiAhITLeoIg.AYAi0AdRzs6vuiYM1bq0CbDcb5VS9wo4kQNcADxVp7w&dib_tag=se&keywords=9798823000734&qid=1709611089&sprefix=9798823000734%2Caps%2C518&sr=8-1
Without exaggeration, the nation has been preparing for the April 8, 2024, total eclipse for several months. Texas is one of the states on the path of total eclipse. An estimated “12 million people in Texas live in the path of totality, the most of any state.” (Fox4news.com). An eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly in front of the sun and casts a shadow on the earth’s surface, a truly awe-inspiring event. Schools in states along the path of the eclipse will be closing for the safety of children. The concern is that children may glimpse at the eclipse with unprotected eyes. In addition, millions of travelers seek to witness the world in person and travel to states where they can get the best view. Because of the expected peak in tourists, schools are closing, so school traffic will not contribute to the projected traffic congestion. From a mindfulness perspective, I invite you to join me in discovering a mindfulness perspective, using mindfulness qualities to prepare for an eclipse. The qualities of curiosity and having a beginner’s mind can be eclipsed by compassion and gratitude. Using loving kindness that brings safety to protect the curious and the beginner mind mindfulness qualities. The glasses of loving kindness filter compassion and gratitude to reveal beauty before an eclipse, during the eclipse, and after an eclipse. It also brings an awareness we can appreciation where we are at right now and savor throughout time.

As a Witch on The Path, I have always been followed by Crows. To me, they represent one of my most powerful synchronicities as a result. We have an abundance of crows locally and they are constantly around, especially in the local parks. Seeing them flock overhead at dawn and dusk making an amazing amount of noise is always a wake up call.

Join leading Plastic Surgeon, Dr John Flood, in a frank and compassionate discussion about plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery is on the rise in both the U.S and in Australia. One third of Australians says a reliable poll, are thinking about having plastic surgery. Our millennials are the biggest “consumers”.

Eartha will guide you through “Open Monitoring Meditation” (OM) during this episode. The practice of open monitoring meditation involves the practice of releasing and detaching. This free-style awareness meditation invites you to allow your attention to flow from experiences, thoughts, sensations, feelings, sounds, or sights that capture your attention. Allow your attention to capture your surroundings, and allow your curiosity to scan the moment, reflecting on feelings and thoughts. Welcome your thoughts, emotions, or feelings. Let go of any focus on any one object or sensation. When your curiosity has been satisfied, release your attention to that object and move to whatever else captures your attention. During the meditation, if the practice becomes too challenging or overwhelming, you can always return to focusing on the breath.
“Preliminary research findings suggest that OM meditation does not rely on brain regions involved in engaging or sustaining attention on one area but on brain regions implicated in monitoring, vigilance, and disengaging attention from stimuli that distract attention from the ongoing stream of experience (Hölzel et al., 2007; Jha, Krompinger, & Baime,(2007); Tang, Yi-Yuan, et al., 2007; Valentine & Sweet, 1999). In another study, a group randomly assigned to five days of meditation training, mostly based on OM meditation, showed greater improvement in conflict monitoring compared to a control group that received relaxation training (Tang et al., 2007).
Goal
OM practice can strengthen the ability to observe thoughts, feelings, and emotions.”

Who doesn’t want a passionate marriage? But do you really know what that means? Or what it takes? Passion is a much more complicated topic than most of us want to deal with. It isn’t just ripping each other’s clothes off as soon as you are within sight of each other. It’s about all the little choices you make throughout the day as well as avoiding the things that throw water on it. So how do you know what will work?
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Professional Life and Relationship Coach Dr. Corey Allan reveals the truth about the role of passion in your marriage and how you can create it.
If you want more passion in your marriage, Lesli can help you get it. Please subscribe to the show and share it with those you care about on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Today Bryce will be talking to Special Education teacher Kayla Carney. They will be discussing the purpose of special education and who can benefit from the services provided. The great news is that all services provided to students are free within the public school system! There is a lot of mystery around special education and how to qualify for services. There’s also a lot of fear around children being labeled for both students and parents. Having your child in special education is a process and also a personal decision. They will discuss the factors to consider when navigating this process.
The most important thing that parents and caregivers can do is advocate for their child.

The story is essentially a thank you letter from a former refugee child, for an aid package that was sent from America in the aftermath of the Second World War.
At the end of World War II, the author was in a recreation center in Italy organized by the Joint Distribution Committee as part of the Marshal Plan. This is her very personal, poignant and heart-warming story written in the form of a letter.
Although the letter is addressed to “Mary”, it is also addressed to all those who belong to the generation of Mary. Mary represents all of those in America who sent aid packages to the children abroad who were victims of the war. The story exudes messages of human love, kindness, compassion, and the power of goodness.

Brandy Gillmore suffered a painful and debilitating injury in an accident that doctors told her was going to be a permanent condition. But she immersed herself in every piece of research she could find on the mind and healing, and after enduring more than 6 years of disability and pain, Brandy made a big discovery that altered the course of her life and led to a complete recovery. For her that was just the beginning. After she healed herself completely in 2010, she didn’t want to just talk about her healing, but she wanted to help others see proof that our minds really do possess the power to heal our bodies. In 2015, Brandy made that goal a reality when for the first time, she was able to demonstrate self-healing in real-time under thermal medical imaging. Then soon after that, she was invited to deliver a TEDx talk, which was a pivotal moment in her journey. Brandy demonstrates these results on her own podcast, which is called Heal Yourself. Change Your Life, and in speaking engagements for medical professionals and general audiences. Her book is called Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body, and her website is brandygillmore.com

Most people, if they understand what is expected, will strive to meet shared expectations by exercising self-control. But occasionally there will be situations where you will need to as a leader-manager apply external control when appropriate self-control is not exist. This is where constructive discipline comes in. The two occasions when constructive discipline is appropriate are; a) misconduct; and, b) failure to perform up to a minimum acceptable level, and it is not a skill deficiency. In this episode we discuss how to use constructive discipline as a leader-manager when it is needed.
Far too many people believe that relationships are natural. You meet someone, fall in love, plan a life together and go on autopilot. This is not a prescription for success. It’s a prescription for flying into the side of a mountain. That’s where many people find themselves at the beginning of every year. Wondering why their marriages are struggling and what, if anything, can be done to make them better. The simple answer is YES! Dr. Ronald Riggio, author and Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology at Claremont McKenna College, is here to let you in on how you can do just that.
If you are interested in getting some guidance on implementing these strategies, let Lesli know. Also, please share this show with those you know who want a better marriage on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Micromoments of shame – stepping over the box you were going to take upstairs as you go upstairs, passing by the unfolded laundry, discovering the clothes in the washer from two days ago…we have them daily. Maybe neurotypical folks do too, but ADHDers have many more every day. this expression is not originally mine, a friend passed along a meme with that title. Apologies to the author, I do not know your name. Spot on concept.
Shame. The elephant in the room with ADHD, the feeling at the root of our familiar self-concept as “not good enough”. How it develops in people with ADHD and how we grow to believe and talk about ourselves in negative terms – a dummy, an idiot, a failure, incompetent, not good enough – join me and my guest Linda Roggli as we uncover the role of shame in the lives of people with ADHD. We have ADHD, it does not have to define us. Shame has us believing otherwise.
Linda Roggli a person I call a “thinker” in the field of ADHD, one who steps back and looks at the big picture, in her case also informed by her own ADHD (as is my perspective by my own ADHD).

As we await the beautiful produce that will soon be arriving at our Farmer’s Markets, I thought it would be a good time to celebrate Spring with this encore piece featuring Alice Waters. Always remember to take a moment and Savor the Day!
Margaret McSweeney and Alice WatersChef Alice Waters is a counterculture culinary hero who has helped pioneer the farm to table movement in the United States at her iconic restaurant Chez Panisse. At age four, she won a costume contest dressed as “Queen of the Garden” that featured produce from her parents’ Victory Garden. This win was just a mere glimpse into her future as an award winning chef, cookbook author, philanthropist, activist and advocate for sustainability and freshly grown produce.
Recently, Chef Alice Waters graciously greeted me at her Chez Panisse office in Berkeley. A lovely glass teapot sat atop the small round table. She had filled the teapot with her favorite recipe from the garden — fresh mint with hot water. We sipped and chatted about her latest book Coming to My Senses: The Making of A Counterculture Cook. She shared stories and lessons from her edible education including life changing moments in France when she discovered the incomparable tastes of the farmers markets, including les fraises des bois (strawberries from the woods). Chef Alice Waters brought back the literal and figurative seeds that would become the harvest of a delicious revolution. The actual seeds she planted in her backyard at Berkeley were the ingredients of a Mesclun Salad originating in Provence, France. Almost every dish at Chez Panisse has a little salad. Chef Waters explains, “A salad punctuates something that is rich and brings balance to the plate.”
Her favorite quotes include: “The destiny of nations depends upon the manner in which they were fed” Brillat-Savarin and “We are what we eat.” Chef Alice Waters explains that “When you eat fast food, you eat the values of the fast-food culture – that farming and cooking are drudgery. Food is something precious and should not be wasted.” Her passion for sharing this lesson with others, especially children, became the impetus of The Edible Schoolyard Project. Chef Waters emphasizes a key tenet to an edible education: “Don’t ever compromise the idea of sustainability. That’s the bottomline.”
Here are three tips from Chef Alice Waters for the home chef:
- “It’s important to cook everyday.” Take the time to make point of sitting with friends or family and gather for a meal at the table.
- “Support the farmers’ markets. It’s important to give the money directly to the people who grow the food.”
- Plant something whenever you can. That’s so important for the planet.”
Here is a link to her latest book: Coming to My Senses: The Making of A Counterculture Cook

The Author
Neil Grew up in and around Washington D.C, and for most of his life he has been involved in the construction industry. He’s been married for neigh on forty-four years, plus he proudly states he is a Scottish Rite Mason. Poetry has been at the heart of his life for a considerable amount of time and very often the poems are accompanied to music. In 2018, Neil published his poetry book Moods of a Lake: and selected poems with illustrations to go with them, he’s currently working on a second book of poems, some short stories, a novella and a movie script, hmm…a busy guy. When you ask Neil what guides his life, he will say three things, but what those three things are, are revealed in his poetry, so when you read the poems, you need to search in between the lines for the message. Very clever.

https://youtu.be/qCh4BCcopwoThe Book
Moods of a Lake: and Selected Poems
This is a book of forty-five free standing poems, for Neil it’s a collection of poetry because of the interactions he has had with people and events over the years who have in someway moulded his life. The poems are in sequential order, and I suppose you could say form a snapshot view over the years of Neil’s life from early childhood to mature adulthood. The poems depict the many trials in Neil’s life from the good to the bad, from the exciting to the dreary, plus happy and sad times. I think it’s wonderful how someone, can analyse their life in a collection of poems that we have here. Neil Noble’s life in forty-five fleeting glimpses of honesty, combined with fascination. The one thing that I have learned from Neil is that his poetry speaks from the heart about all sorts of issues, for example the many sides to love’s different philosophical thinking’s.
I’m led to believe that Neil sets his poetry to music, unfortunately that side of his poetry cannot be visualized in book format, but what can be visualized in book format are the illustrations by Jingfang Wang that cleverly accompany the poems, which for me brings a sense of reality to this wonderful book of poetry, built and created around Neil’s life in all its guises.

The Authors
Charlene Tess and Judi Thompson are sisters who co-write mystery, thriller and romance novels under the name Tess Thompson, I’ll leave all of you to figure out how they came up with the pen name, let’s say it’s not rocket science. They were born in El Paso, Texas. Their father was a pilot and aircraft mechanic, their mother was an elementary school principal.
Charlene is married to the love of her life Jerry; she has two daughters and three grandchildren at the last count. She was an English and creative writing teacher who wrote her own grammar workbooks and lessons. Her Highly acclaimed series of grammar eBooks, ‘Simple Steps to Sentence Sense,’ are widely used.
Judi on the other hand lives near Houston and is married to Roger, she has two sons and seven grandchildren. Before retiring she worked in education as a speech language pathologist, educational diagnostician and as a special education supervisor. Like Charlene, a busy lady so to speak.
The sisters began writing together in 2002, with the publication of Accidental Angel. They have written twenty-two novels and five series together. Charlene lives in Denver Colorado in the US and Judi lives near Houston in Texas. You might wonder how on earth do they manage to write the books, well a lot of Zoom meetings, emails, texts, and good old fashion phone calls plus Dropbox. Old ways combined with the latest technological advances seem to work for these sisters who are self-published on Amazon.com.

All the books in The Angel Fall Series are stand alone books and you can read them any order, ideally though I would suggest you read them in order of publication, for what makes them a series is the characters. While a lot of the books have very distinctive and separate storylines some of the characters are the same throughout the series but not necessarily in each book. Having said that the character Bella Morales, a blunt, self-opinionated, psychic takes centre stage in quiet a few of them. In this podcast we’re going to focus on two of the books that make up The Angel Falls series, so that you can get a feel for the series. Oddly enough we’re focusing on the first and the latest book, the ninth in the series.
Angel Falls
The Story within this book is foretold across thirty-three chapters and two parts. The tension throughout the book is palpable like any good book should be. The characters are strong and highly developed as they take you on a twist-turning ride of psychic romance and intrigue. Just as you think you’re getting to grips with the story and the characters, Charlene and Judi twist the knife to unbalance you but keep your interest.
The narrative evolves around Russell’s loss of family from a tragic accident, he retreats to New Mexico Forest to come to terms with what has happened to his life. Maggie and her great-grandmother, psychic Bella own the resort he stumbles or possibly trespasses upon. For Russell life is about to change, equally so for Maggie, but who is sabotaging her business, why is love so complicated, what secrets lurk in Russell’s past and are those secrets devastating enough to make Maggie choose between her heart or cold hard facts. What role does Bella play in all this Drama, does she know what’s behind the knock on the door from the sheriff. Hmm…

Thirty-one chapters of spine-tingling complex plots, twists and excitement lie between the pages of this ninth book in the series. Charlene Tess and her sister Judi Thompson are at it again with another psychic romance tale. ATF agent Matt Bentley’s past comes back to trouble him with the escape from a high-security prison of one of his former criminal offenders, Lyle. His escape means trouble for all involved in this sublimely written book as Lyle sets about an exhausting cycle of revenge. Matt’s initial fear is for the safety of his family, his wife Sunshine and two children; but will his actions be proportionate and will Bella’s psychic powers be up to scratch now that she’s in her ninth decade. Will Bella’s powers be effective, or will they create their own problems and will Lyle’s revenge attempts succeed or be stopped in their tracks and by whom. Hmm…

Charlene and Judi, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to you both about two of the nine books that make up The Angel Fall Series that you have both brilliantly created over the years.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Doing this podcast I’ve learned a lot of different things thanks to the great authors I’ve been lucky enough to meet. The topics are so broad and varied from children’s books to autobiographies to fiction and spirituality — you really never know what you’re going to get so thank you for clicking on this episode.
Today we are taking a common sense approach to the question “Who am I?” and what was I put on this earth to do. Just to clarify — you are probably already living your purpose and don’t even realize it. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking that there must be more to life and in the course of doing that we tend to forget the little things that actually mean a lot. Like simple kindnesses that are so easy to do you don’t even think about them. You just do it but they mean something to the recipient.
How grateful are you that water comes out of the tap? I wasn’t until recently when I was reminded that in many parts of the world people have to go and get water from a river or a well, and it’s not clean. Billions of people don’t know the luxury we take for granted. It puts things in perspective — but this is not a show about water — or gratitude, although that is important, it’s a show about finding peace.
Rebecca Payne – We get so busy running around doing things for the kids if you are married with children or you have children. Running about. Our daily lives running to the store and getting this or that. Going to work, coming home, taking care of the shopping and all of that kind of stuff that we don’t take out time to rest and that’s one of the principle teachings in the book “Finding Peace” is to rest. That’s one of the secrets, to take that day, take that time to just slow down and be at peace and sitting on the porch is one way to do that.
That’s Dr. Rebecca Payne, author of the book she just mentioned, Finding Peace. The cover features a bistro table and a couple of chairs on the front porch of a house that serve as a reminder to take time out to rest.
Rebecca Payne – Life is a journey and you have to take time to slow down and enjoy it. We get so caught up with running around and spinning our own web that we forget that we are here to enjoy this life, to discover one another and have peace. You can’t have peace if you don’t slow down.
Stop and smell the roses. It’s just that simple but hearing it and doing it are two different things. It’s not always that easy. Our lives can be very complicated so in her book she created a fun way to teach us how to slow down and live a peaceful and rewarding life. To do that she created two characters, Jamie and Miss Mazey. Jamie is looking for answers and Miss Mazey is keen to teach them using biblical principles.
Rebecca Payne – Rebecca discusses the creation of these two characters and that they are a reflection of Rebecca and her spiritual mother.
Jamie is on a path toward enlightenment and Miss Mazey is offering up the spiritual wisdom to help her get there. Here’s an example. We already talked about the importance of taking time out to rest — like God did on the seventh day.
Rebecca Payne – You cannot go seven days a week running around all day every day and not rest. Rebecca cites scriptures like Jeremy 1:5, Matthew 6:33 to illustrate that in the scriptures you will find wisdom to find freedom and freedom will give you peace.
And there’s that word again, Peace and believe it or not peace is just the beginning.
Rebecca Payne – I discovered that with peace comes joy. With joy comes happiness. These are fruits of the Holy Spirit so the fruit of the spirit becomes evident in your life. You have joy, you have peace, you have happiness , you take on goodness, you take on kindness, you take on the ability to persevere and have patience. All of these things start transpiring in your life as you allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life. You can’t do these things, you can’t make these changes by yourself. I tried it does not work but with the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God you can have your life transformed and then literally find peace and with that peace comes the simplicity of life.
If you’re someone who is looking for answers this book will show you what a life as a Christian is like. By bringing in characters like Jamie and Miss Mazey she’s letting us see through their relationship the lessons that can apply to our life. I guess you could say it’s a practical guide to living a good life with faith and belief in something more and how that belief can shape our lives in positive ways. Here’s another example. In the book Jamie just went through a divorce. Highly stressful and very difficult.
Rebecca Payne – I too like Jamie went through a divorce and during that time my life was in total upheaval. I was going to school and getting my doctorate. I was moving around doing different jobs. I am a technology project manager by trade and my projects were coming to an end so I’m also moving around. My career. Everything was in upheaval.
And when life starts to feel like it’s spinning out of control we naturally get frustrated and confused and we start looking up and asking questions and according to Dr. Rebecca Payne, one of the big answers to those questions is, slow down, have faith and let God guide you. When your head is full of questions and they’re making you anxious…well, there’s a scripture for that.
Rebecca Payne – One of the biggest ones that I learned was in Philippians 4:6. Be anxious for nothing but in thanksgiving let your request be known to God. That was such a huge leap for me because I was anxious about everything. Where is my life going, what am I going to do now? I’m in upheaval here. I’m trying to get this doctorate at the same time and I’m trying to focus and should I stop? Should I keep going? What should I do? So with her guidance I found that I needed to settle down and have peace and continue what I started to do. Trust in God.
As human beings we all have trials and tribulations in our life. We have what she calls “afflictions and additions”. We have all kinds of pain, physical, emotional, spiritual and we have free will. We are totally capable of making all kinds of decisions that may or may not be good for us — like self medicating.
Rebecca Payne – Part of the journey is to know that it exists. Part of the journey is to know that there is a light. Some people don’t know that . So I’m trying to show them that God is there for you. God is with you. God will guide you if you seek Him.
So getting back to the question “what does it all mean?” Let’s have a look at the words of Miss Mazey; “Whatever it is that calms your soul and lifts you to a curiosity about your Creator, that is what you are meant to do to set you on the path to peace.”
The book is called Finding Peace by Dr. Rebecca I. Payne and you can get it in paperback at all the places you like to shop online for books. In fact right now you can download it from Amazon for about $6. Not a bad price to pay for the meaning of life. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.
Listen to Dr. Rebecca Payne on the Talking Books podcast, the Talking Books YouTube interview with JT Crowley or the Books on Air podcast with Suzanne Harris.

The Author
Gennie de Lange, being dyslexic, has drawn on the innate artistic gift she was given. She grew up during WWII in her grandparents’ vast house and forested garden. Being taken to the ballet to see Peter and the Wolf when she was tiny reinforced her beliefs which many children share that toys and animals understand everything. Born in New Zealand in 1942, Gennie received her training at Wellington Polytechnic, The Hammersmith and Middlesex School of Art and The Chelsea Pottery in London.
Her ceramic paintings have been exhibited in the USA, England, France and Switzerland as well as galleries in New Zealand. Talking about her ceramics, In New Zealand she ran pottery classes on a Saturday morning for children so that they could enjoy the art of creating things.
Tales of war from her father were real. He had led a New Zealand dive bomber squadron, from which only half returned. The camaraderie, dare devil escapades, laughter, determination, and sacrifice that everybody was prepared to make and endure were part of life. Her father always felt he was here on borrowed time. It was her father’s stories from his war years that got Gennie interested in the history of war which made her aware of the goings on and why she delved so deeply into this subject matter.
For Gennie, life is a gamble. Being a ceramic artist, every time she puts her work in the kiln is a risk. The glazes that she paints with are all varying shades of powdery grey. After hours in the kiln at very high temperatures, her painted tiles emerge transformed like stained glass. Her exhibitions often sell out. The viewers relate to the subjects personally, and see the dramas of their own lives.
Now in her eighties, she has turned to using her own ceramic paintings as the background. The Observer, who is a worn velvet antique toy, views the devastation of war. The sale proceeds from this book (so far New Zealand only) are going to a family orphanage in Ukraine supporting children who have been separated from their parents. Gennie believes the young people of Ukraine will eventually have the spirit and determination to rebuild their country.
Here is a look at our video chat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQDq5JVL6-4The Book
The book is a collection of fifty very short poems about the terrible effects of war on people and the devastation left behind. Each poem is accompanied by a picture of a ceramic painting on a tile done by Gennie de Lange herself. The images closely correlate to the message in the poems. They are bright, gregarious and most of them have a worn velvet antique toy in them, known as The Observer.
The author’s work is intense and attested, yet parallel with an edge of innocent freakiness when it comes to the childhood toy named ‘The Observer. The simplicity of the child’s toy pitted against the horrors and devastation of war. While Gennie’s work covers the general theme of war, she does touch upon what is happening in Ukraine at the present time.
The poems and the accompanying artwork tell the story of war brilliantly.
The Observer
The Observer is nearly a hundred years old. My father-law bought him after he left medical school in the 1920s. He needed support through life, as a third of his medical class had died from infections. There were no antibiotics in those days. During WWII The Observer was posted to Cairo where the doctor ran a prisoner of war hospital. Most of the men were Italian tailors who made uniforms until they realized it was more fun designing and making glamourous evening clothes for those on leave. After the war The Observer stood on the mantelpiece of the doctor’s surgery room, listening to how people coped with the unexpected sadness and pain in their lives. Nearly eighty years later The Observer looks on with knowing eyes.

I love this quote. Having been in sales for many decades, I know the importance of measuring ROI. However, many leaders try to measure ROI by managing their sales teams solely through numbers.
I believe using numbers as your only metric may be dangerous. If we do not look at the behaviors that are driving those numbers, we may be missing a huge piece of improving ROI.

I chose this quote today because you have heard me end my podcast episodes with the notion that learning new information is a beautiful thing. Doing nothing with that new knowledge and not taking action is a choice you and I get to make every day.
It’s not uncommon to hear of people who strongly desire to change their lives, seek knowledge, and then do nothing with the information they’ve learned. I know I am an action-taker. Are you an action taker to create the change you are seeking?
Today, I will discuss WHY we sabotage the change we’re seeking with my guest so that we can be aware of how it happens. Hopefully, this will help us keep moving forward.

The Vernal Equinox is March 19th this year. This is one of those dates like the Autumnal Equinox and the Solstices whose date moves around a little bit each year. However, it is now that day where we experience equal amounts of Light & Dark Energy. Things are in perfect balance only twice a year and this is a good time to take a few minutes and notice which parts of your Body, Mind, & Spirit are in balance and where things aren’t so that you can figure out how to move closer to balance. Remember that on The Path we know that perfect balance is an ideal that can’t be achieved but there is no reason not to work towards it when possible. Happy Spring!
This episode is an interactive activity loaded with tips and facts on how to create quiet time in your busy schedule.

PositivePsychology.com “Creating Quiet Time” by Hugo Albert(Ph.D.) and Lucinda Poole (PsyD)
The Author
Anne Angelo was born in 1911 in Invergordon, Ross Shire (now Ross and Cromarty) Highlands, Scotland in what can only best be described as a difficult family set up. As a child she grew up in an environment of hatred, dejection, fear and other social dissent. life was hard back then in a society where children and young adults were to be seen, not heard and certainly not to be believed. Anne’s dream was to be a pharmacist, but a ruthless father blocked that opportunity by refusing her to go to Edinburgh to sit her pharmacy examines, instead opting for marrying her off. Thank goodness times have in many ways changed. As a young woman Anne’s life was fortuitously driven by events beyond her control, the war years of the second world war like for all that lived through those times were extremely tough. In 1944 Anne gave birth to Hugh who I have the privilege of talking to about the books she wrote, he recalls his mother typing the manuscript in London in 1949, just before they left for New Zealand in 1950, followed by upping sticks again to Australia in 1959 following Hugh’s father’s death. Over the years Anne worked on and off the manuscripts with the aid of a ghost writer, tragically Anne passed away in 1999, so the scripts lay untouched until lockdown in 2020, when Hugh rediscovered the files and decided to get them published in memory of his late mother Anne.

https://youtu.be/OcNz6blP1l4The Book
The Forbidden Zone 1940
This book is a continuation of the story of Anne Angelo’s experiences in the war years of the nineteen forties. Anne’s return to Lille in France, the ‘Phony war’ when she almost got killed driving ambulances. A romance with a dashing British Army Officer to whom she gave a sprig of white heather as a good luck memento. The romance was brief as the Germans invaded and closed the area as they prepared their invasion of England. Anne joined the French Resistance until she was betrayed to the Gestapo, she escaped home to Britain, where the dashing young Army Officer tracked her down with the sprig of white heather firmly in his grasp. Anne married the dashing British Army Officer who is Hugh’s father.
The book comprises thirty chapters of stimulating stories, some romantic, some hard-hitting and others simply telling what life for Anne was like in those days. It’s cleverly written, the pace and the tension are wonderfully balanced as the narrative reflects what people of that era had to endure, face and overcome. Every day was a battle to survive and only those lucky and strong-minded enough like Anne came out the other end.

A Sprig of White Heather and a Scottish Lass
This is the first part of the story of Anne Angelo, Hugh Hyland’s late mother. It’s a soul-stirring narrative told over twenty-one chapters, sublimely written depicting a life that faced innumerable, exacting and formidable circumstances that would have tested any person’s resolve. The issues and scenarios are delicately portrayed with a real touch of realism that makes you stop and think how people in difficult and testing situations make their mark. The book touches upon cultural and social background stigmas, educational, hereditary and race differentials all against a backdrop of hatred, heartache, fear, disenchantment and dejection, much of which Anne Angelo had to endure as a child and young adult. Anne had several blissful years living in France and touring in Europe and North Africa those years though where abruptly ended by the onset of WW2. The war years and the ensuing years had a profound impact on Hugh’s late mother as she rebuilt a new life for herself, a life so very different to that of her childhood, a life on the other side of the world. What of that life! Well, I’m not going to tell you, find out by seeing what she has to say.

This is the story of those psychological forces that help define us. Who are you and where did you come from? Learning more about your past brings a sense of security and inner peace. Mario Cartaya went back to Cuba to reclaim his forgotten Cuban past and wrote a book about it called Journey Back Into the Vault, In Search of My Faded Cuban Childhood Footprints.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram
Have you ever wondered about the forces that shape our identity? Who we truly are and where we come from? In a world filled with uncertainty, reconnecting with our roots can offer a sense of security and inner peace. Today we are going to journey back in time to explore the captivating tale of one man’s quest to reclaim his Cuban roots.
Mario Cartaya – How do we go from all the hate and the anger and the fear that we are exposed to daily into achieving an inner peace.
That’s Mario Cartaya. He is the author of “Journey Back Into the Vault: In Search of My Faded Cuban Childhood Footprints.” His is a very personal adventure but it’s also a reminder of how powerful it is to learn about ourselves and where we came from.
Mario Cartaya – Come to terms with who you really are and then try to find that inner-peace within us that we all need so much.
He knows something about this. In an effort to reclaim his forgotten Cuban childhood and his original identity he did some digging into his own past. The results are in his new book Journey Back Into the Vault, In Search of My Faded Cuban Childhood. When he was nine years old he was forced to flee his home country with his parents and older brother in a pretty dramatic way.
Mario Cartaya – The head of the Cuban Nationalization program of American properties putting a gun to my dad’s head demanding his books. My dad did comply eventually and that forced us to leave the island when Guevara told him your future safety in this country is no longer guaranteed.
When you’re forced to leave your country in this way you have to leave everything behind, your aunts, uncles, friends and acquaintances.
Mario Cartaya – We just never got to say goodbye. The 1960’s if you remember was a time of the Cuban missile crisis, it was of the bay of Pigs invasion, it was time when many, many things happened and there was no communication between us and Cuba so they did and we only found out through Western Union telegraphs that would tell us your grandfather died, your uncle died.
I can’t imagine the culture shock of coming to America from Cuba in the early 1960’s. I guess one of the cool things would be the fact that he was very young and didn’t have to be concerned with the draft or politics. You get to just try and fit in as an American kid. play some baseball, make new friends, eat a hot dog and learn why we call it soccer….
Mario Cartaya – It was wonderful. Becoming an American was easy, however that vault that I built to protect me from all these painful and relevant memories would come to play a few years later.
Yep, at some point in the growing up process we are all forced to breach that vault where we’ve stored all those painful memories and see if enough time has gone by to have another look. For some of us it happens naturally and for others you have to crack open your own unconscious ‘vault’ and retrieve the buried memories to better examine them in with the wisdom that comes from growing older.
Mario chose to head back to Cuba.
Mario Cartaya – I was hoping that the stimulus of going to the buildings, the places where I lived, would remind me however what that stimulus did was it took me to a place inside me where all those memories lived. I had never lost those memories that I thought I’d forgotten. I had never forgotten it. I just stopped myself from remembering. I protected myself from remembering in the subconscious vault that we all build and I realized that as the memories returned the demos of long ago belonged long ago and the more I opened myself to going inside that vault and discovering who I am. It’s not who I was, it’s who I am because all those memories that lurk inside ourselves are really a part of you and they’ve made you.
That’s right, you can’t blame your father for doing what was best for his family. Do you blame the Castro regime for the forced exile or do you look for positive memories? The things you can be grateful for? They are all there. Sometimes you just need to be willing to look. Here’s a great example…
Mario Cartaya – My mother unfortunately passed away and I was going through her items and there’s a box with a letter from her saying this is for you and among the things that I found in there was this pocket watch that my grandfather used to own. I just found it and the moment that I saw that watch I remember it because I was in a school play in kindergarten where I played an elderly watchmaker. My parents were dressing me up as an old man for that school play and my grandfather said to me, “Here, you can’t be an old man without a pocket watch.” and so he gave me this pocket watch and here after all these years it is in my head and all i could feel was love, not fear just love. There are no demons anymore. just love. It’s beautiful.
And that love is something that makes this story come alive. The book is called Journey Back Into the Vault, In Search of My Faded Cuban Childhood Footprints by Mario Cartaya. Download a copy from Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com and see if it inspires you to open your own emotional vault. Who knows, you might find it to be therapeutic. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Are you ready to define & design the destiny you desire & deserve?
If you ask yourself, “Is this all there really is?” You’re not alone.
Life has us busy, focused on what’s next, and striving to “have it all.” But “having it all” … the right career, car, house… doesn’t speak to how to have fulfilling relationships, meaningful life experiences, OR how to sustain those things.
When an unexpected, life-changing loss happens in your health, wealth, love life, or a
struggling child, you’re left wanting MORE.
This is the work I do… I’m Gina Maier Vincent, Your Personal Soul Shifter.
I zhuzh you up. Quicken your pace. And prepare you to live your unspoken desire for MORE.
The answers ARE on the inside. I’ll help you find, articulate, and activate them so you live
the destiny you desire & deserve. It’s your SUPER POWER — purpose, possibilities, and
significance.

“Latin American Cuisine is like a house. I see Mexico as the front door with all the dishes we are most familiar with. But once you open and walk through that door, you can see twenty other kitchens full of food, vibrancy and amazing ingredients.” Sandra Gutierrez
Sandra Gutierrez and I met in the White House Garden in 2015 during an International Association of Culinary Professionals conference. We have become dear friends throughout the years on our respective culinary journeys. Sandra has written four cookbooks and is an award-winning journalist. In 2019, her work was recognized as part of the permanent FOOD exhibition at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. On September 15, 2021, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Sandra was honored by the Smithsonian Institute as a Woman to Know and one of seven Latinas Who Shaped American Culture.
https://youtu.be/3h5tNJ-Fay8Sandra Gutierrez is known as The Julia Child of Latin American Cuisine. Just as Julia brought authentic French recipes to the home cooks in America, Sandra has brought authentic recipes from Latin America to the homes cooks in America. Further uniting them in culinary history, Julia and Sandra even share the same publisher, Knopf. Sandra’s new book, “Latinisimo: Home Recipes from the Twenty-One Countries of Latin America” is the book she has had in her heart for thirty years. During our Kitchen Chat, Sandra provides insights into and recipes reflecting the cultural fusion through food across Latin America. She begins in her grandmother’s kitchen in Guatemala and takes us on a delicious journey of shared ingredients that are prepared in ways that reflect the uniqueness of each country throughout Latin America. Sandra explains how the recipe for Lomo Saltado, the national stir-fry of Peru, depicts cultural culinary fusion with ingredients from Inca (potatoes and tomatoes) beef tenderloin (loco) brought by Europeans and soy sauce (sillao) from Asia.
On a side note, I especially enjoyed the Brazilian recipes in Sandra’s cookbook. During my graduation school days, I actually lived in Rio de Janiero and enjoyed eating the fejoida and other delicious meals there. As the Brazilians so beautifully say, “Aproveite” which is my life’s tagline to Savor the Day. Enjoy this delicious journey with Sandra Gutierrez in her latest book, LATINISIMO and discover the flavors of Latin America.

Paying homage to classic sci-fi and fantasy authors who have influenced their Novel “How Nichols Became Santa Claus, Authors Sandra jo Troupe and Darrell R. TROUPE Sr., and discuss with host Daniel the enduring impact of their contributions to writing.
Hrvoje Muzar has more than being a fitness coach on his mind. He lives and teaches by a fascinating age-old philosophy of Vipassana which “H” says teaches us “to start being comfortable with being uncomfortable”.
Perhaps a paradox? But isn’t that what our life’s journey is all about… mastering emotionally the inevitable the ups and downs of life with successful navigation?
The journey of “H” begins with an ascetic or monk like retreat in Poland to his thus inspired own ENERGISE RETREAT in the stunningly beautiful Croation landscape where he, not only, encourages physical fitness but feeds the body with optimum nutrition and the mind with his well-studied and experienced wisdom from the pre- Buddhist philosophers and with a little from our Ancient Greeks.
Hrvoje teaches us that self-awareness is essential through our understanding of basic principles which can enhance and foster more positive relationships with others and so much more fulfilling journeys with partners and our children.
Let us lose our monkey brains and be the wonderful self-fulfilled humans we can be and inspire others just like “H” has done for us, today.
Yes, a must listen and listen and learn AGAIN! Hrvoje Muzar –

In this episode we discuss organizational principles that serve to guide organization design. We also discuss a practical and proven process to help you and your leadership team engage in quality thinking and interacting when contemplating any organization design or redesign.
In this episode, the Crone & Sage focus on developing what The Path terms an attitude of gratitude for the good things we all have in our lives when we pay attention. In our Practices segment where we focus on why and what we do when we do things, we get into the idea of what we term Rabbit Holing when looking for new and different ways of doing or seeing things. There’s a Quick Spell for creating a healthy garden as the spring season approaches. Finally, today’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint focuses on the idea that it is ok to take 5 minutes to just breathe when we find ourselves overwhelmed for whatever reason, either mundane or even magickal.

I have changed many habits over the past 20 years, where I practice mind, body, and spirit daily so I and my business can thrive.
It took me a long time to consider self-care a necessity, not a luxury. Initially, I thought taking time for myself was selfish, and I felt like I was letting all the people around me, including my family, down.
We are all works in progress. We must keep reiterating to build our best habits and sustain a healthy, happy, long life.

A quote from Hugh Jackman
The Night the Lights Went Out on Broadway
Matt Petosa works at the stage door for the Winter Garden Theatre. Everyday I’m greeted by him as I walk into the theatre. His kind, wise smile assures me that I am exactly where I’m meant to be and that everything is more than okay.
On March 13th, 2020, the Great White Way went dark for nearly two years, impacting one hundred thousand theatre employees from actors to stagehands and ushers. New York City without Broadway felt empty indeed.
This shut down was simply unprecedented. Broadway had stayed open through the Spanish Flu of 1812, two world wars and had only closed down once before, for two days after September 11th attacks.
The curtains fell on the longest shutdown in theatrical history. The only shining light that remained was the ghost light on each stage of every house. A beacon of hope in the tradition of “The Show Must Go On.”
These photographs represent those dark days.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/uajBTGEp2tQThe Book
Normally, I write a dossier to give you all and idea as to what to expect in the book or books. This book however is a collection of Matt Petosa’s stunning photography that portrays the empty theatres of Broadway New York during Covid-19 lockdown. These theatres would be bustling with audiences and famous actors treading the boards. When you look at quite a few of the photographs you’ll notice a light on the stage. These are the Ghost Lights that stood silent in the theatres as a beacon of hope that one day the theatres would reopen. Hence, part of the book title,’ 2020 The Ghost Light Year.’
Look at some of the photographs for they tell their own story.

“Everything changes. The only thing that remains immovable across the centuries and fixes the character of a people is cooking.” Victor Hugo
The Cathedral de Notre Dame holds a special place of legacy for Chef Florian V. Hugo and for me. Chef Florian is the great great great great great-grandson of the literary maestro Victor Hugo, author of Hunchback of Notre Dame, Les Miserables and many other great works. He is an accomplished French chef who has lived and worked in New York City for two decades. He was mentored by Chef Alain Ducasse and he studied under Chef Paul Bocuse. Chef Florian is author of “Les Contemplations Gourmandes” a biographical cookbook which is an homage to Victor Hugo. Our mutual friend, Rita Jammet, Chief Bubble Officer and a founder of La Caravelle Champagne, introduced Chef Florian and me. Rita knows of my deep connection to Notre Dame.
Notre Dame was the last place my father visited in Paris before he passed away in the Charles de Gaulle Airport. His colleague who was traveling with him said they walked through Notre Dame for an hour, and that my father lit a candle and said a prayer of forgiveness and blessing for someone who had wronged him in a business deal.
During this Kitchen Chat, Chef Florian and I discuss Notre Dame and how this majestic cathedral reflects an important lesson and inspiration to rebuild and restore when we encounter unexpected challenges in life, both from a professional and personal perspective. It is exciting that Notre Dame will be reopening later this year. Michel Picaud, president of Friends of Notre Dame de Paris has worked hard to fundraise across the globe to help restore this important place. If you are interested in helping restore and preserve this place of history, here is a link to donate.
Check out our video chat here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV2p_3wriFEChef Florian also discusses the journey of writing “Les Contemplations Gourmandes”as a way to honor Victor Hugo and to get to know his forefather through their mutual love for food. He used letters, writings and menus of dishes that Victor Hugo loved, and Chef Florian created the delicious recipes. What a special delight to see a photo of Victor Hugo’s “potager” kitchen garden in Guernsey where he was exiled after standing up to Napoleon.
Chef Florian featured a handwritten note from Victor Hugo in 1860 that reads, “Aujourd’hui pour la 2 fois de l’annee, nous avons mange de nos asperges,” which roughly translated means: “Today for the second time this year, we ate asparagus from our garden.” Chef Florian recounts how he has read so many books by great people about Victor Hugo and his life; however, he felt that he got to know his ancestor on a personal level through this book. On a personal note, my culinary journey with Kitchen Chat has helped me get to know and understand my father through conversations about food and sitting at the table to share meals with some wonderful people in the industry. It was a true honor to meet and befriend Chef Florian Hugo.Just as Victor Hugo once wrote: “Everything changes. The only thing that remains unmovable across the centuries and fixes the character of people is cooking.” What are some treasured recipes that have been handed down in your family?

Avalon Beach is a legendary beach in Sydney.
It was a springboard for some of the world’s greatest ever surf champions. Kelly Slater, Tom Carroll, Layne Beachley, Barton Lynch, Mark Warren to name just a few. It is a playground for elite surfers with its enviable both left AND right breaks. Yet there is a an unusually special bond between lifesavers and board riders who share our beach amicably.
And yes, Baywatch pursued Avalon Beach with vigour to become the new back drop for their series. After much controversy and local dissent, it was not to be.
What is pre-eminent in the Avalon Beach story is the vast number of children and adults of all ages who come to Avalon Beach Surf life Saving club for arguably the most comprehensive surf skills and safety training of any beach. Adults of all nationalities who stay locally, join. Yes, from Argentina Brazil and many other countries.
The Surf Living Association trains ex pats in Singapore and more around the world.
Our guest, Steve Broderick, exemplifies the dedication and surf safe knowledge that he teaches to so many of our volunteer Avalon lifesavers, these volunteers who, give up their time to keep us safe.
Steve as a trainer, and as Skills Maintenance Co-ordinator oversees training of so many attaining their proficiency in the surf, and for many, their coveted Bronze Medallion. Avalon Surf Lifesaving Club boasts over 900 members including 300 of our amazing young Nippers.,
Read more about Steve, his passion for lifesaving, and like so many, his dedication.
More about Steve Broderick
Steve did his first bronze Medallion at Bilgola Beach just south of Avalon when he was a teenager and was hooked on Surf Lifesaving.
Then like a lot of Life Saving volunteers, work and family got in the way until he wanted his kids to learn about the surf.
He joined them up in the Nippers program at whatever beach was close to home at time, as they grew up.
Now he has been volunteering at Avalon for 12 years and is Avalon’s Skills Maintenance Co-ordinator.
Steve has been a Trainer and Assessor for over 5 years now and in that time has trained over 100 new Lifesavers for Avalon.
His daughter has followed him into being a Surf Life Saving Trainer and, in fact she is training a group in Advanced Resuscitation Techniques as we speak.

In this episode, Eartha will present details about responding to microaggressions. The first part of the podcast includes a guide on the differences between responding and reacting. Please keep in mind that reacting has the word ACTing in it. Our dramatic movements and unbridled thoughts may lead to acting in ways that may not reflect who we are when we are calm, relaxed, and collected. After the “strong feeling blowout,” we may reminisce and find that we could have done things differently. However, what was said is out, and what has been exposed.
Responding takes excellent strength. Responding means we pause, take a micro-break, and breathe. This allows our thoughts and emotions to calm down and regain composure. Researching the best way to respond mindfully during this time may be helpful. At the very least, we can use the micro-break to breathe.
Research supports that the best way to disarm microaggressions is by mirroring the aggressors, comments. This helps put space in the conversation, and it helps to reflect to the aggressor how they are communicating. Reflecting is not your words; it is your words.
When we approach microaggression using mindfulness techniques, we can look at the aggressor objectively and maintain our healthy lifestyles.

In this episode, Darrell R. Troupe Sr., and Sandra Jo Troupe discuss with Host Daniel Troupe, when to decide on environmental settings in storytelling how the environment itself can become a character in its own right, and how it is examples in their book “how Nicholas became Santa Claus.”
To be successful, and perhaps survive, an organization cannot stand still. Maintaining the status quo is not an option. Growth not necessarily in size, although such growth may be necessary, but in getting better at what it does. In this episode we discuss the stages of organizational growth and the strategic implications of each stage.
Today we delve into the realms of mindfulness, leadership, and personal growth with Thane Lawrie, author of the book “The Buddhist CEO”. With over 25 years of Buddhist practice under his belt, Thane offers a unique perspective on how ancient wisdom can enrich our modern lives, both personally and professionally.
Through his own journey into Buddhism, Thane shares invaluable lessons on leadership and well-being. Drawing from the core principles of mindfulness and living in the present moment, he provides practical advice on how to integrate these teachings into our daily routines.
Moreover, Thane highlights the transformative power of compassion and effective communication in fostering a positive workplace culture. By embracing these principles, he argues, businesses can not only thrive but also create a more harmonious and fulfilling environment for their employees.
About Thane Lawrie: Thane Lawrie is an award winning CEO in his native Scotland. He has also been a practicing Buddhist for 25 years. As a CEO Thane’s company was ranked in the prestigious Sunday Times Top 100 Companies to Work for in the UK. His company also won a range of local awards in recognition of their work to develop a world class culture for their staff.
Thane is married, with two children and lives in north east Scotland. His interests include leadership, Buddhism,meditation and he also enjoys spending time in the great outdoors.
The Buddhist CEO is Thane’s first novel but he hopes it is the first of many. The book tells a moving tale of a modern man trying to balance his commitment to the ancient tradition of Buddhism with his role of being a modern day CEO.

Michael Peter Langevin is a visionary and entrepreneur who has studied with shamans, magicians, holy men, and psychics, and he has had, and has written about, many strange experiences as the publisher of what Book-of-the Month Club called “the most open-minded magazine in the world.” He presently is co-owner and co-director of Langevin Axelsson Marketing and Social Media Promotions in New Orleans, Louisiana.

No-fault divorce began in California in 1969 when Ronald Reagan was governor. It is now the norm in all fifty states. But when it requires both people to consent to getting married, should only one person be able to dissolve it? We’re now on the third generation of easy divorce, with many people never having seen a successful marriage. Many young people believe marriage is outdated because it’s so easy to get out of. Lawyer, co-founder of the Coalition for Divorce Reform, and author of Disassembly Required: A Memoir of Midlife Resurrection Beverly Willett talks about how changing the rules can be the impetus for improving marriage.

Melisa Schonfield is a woman with a difference in her life. A difference, which up to a certain point was probably seen by those around her as an ideal middle-class American lifestyle. But one event that she says she was driven to, in order to protect her family changed all that. Did it! Most definitely. Melisa’s life before that occurrence was a devoted mother raising two successful children. She was the eldest of three, and only girl. Her father served in the Marines before supporting his family with a career in the cosmetic industry. Melissa was not always a New Yorker, she was born in Brooklyn and raised in northern New Jersey. She married a dentist, and for eight years played Army wife. Melisa graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in social work, that world was everything to her, she gained so much experience from the people she engaged with, her main focus was eventually in the field of psychotherapy, now that was an area, she had great affection for, but again one event but a stop to all that. What was this one event that changed Melisa’s life so much? A spell in prison! What for? Well, read the book to find out.
Life after prison is very different to what it was before, now divorced and with her licences to continue her work as a psychotherapist rescinded, Melisa now coaches people with some of their social and mental issues instead. Her daughter and grandson now live with her, and she has taken to writing with a more rigorous approach. This book is her documented viewpoint of circumstances that led up to her arrest, the trial and her experiences of New York state penal system. A gripping story from an author whose love of writing stems right back to her teenage years with her personal diaries which she kept under lock and key as a means of keeping her younger brothers’ beady eyes from seeing what she had written.
Why has Melisa written this book, for revenge! No. Would she liked to have said more! Yes. But for legal constraints and protective issues she’s given you a balanced view. Her real aim behind reason for publishing this book is to give hope and a voice to women who have been incarcerated for carrying out an act that they felt they had no other choice but to carry out. An act done to protect those they love.
So, let’s turn to the book.

There are nine chapters to this extraordinary book that lays bare the documented circumstances that led up to Melisa’s arrest, the trial procedures and the experiences of life behind bars in a New York State Prison. Some of you might debate my calculation of nine chapters as only eight are listed, but I’m including the one chapter in part three of the book as the nineth chapter for that’s how I see. For me the foreword and the preface: just the facts, are two fundamental sections of the book for they alone set the scene with clarity and punctiliousness. The Chapters are written in such away that yes, there’s a story coming across, but equally the facts surrounding the story are given to you as well. I think, the areas of the book, which are exceptionally written, that I personally found compelling were the Foreword, Chapter 1: The Dream, Chapter 3: Mama Bear, chapter 8: Life at Taconic Correctional Facility in Bedford Hills, New York, and Part 3: The Light at the End of the Tunnel.
Is this book worth a read! Most definitely.

“Savor the Day” is the tagline of my life. It’s a reminder to find and live your joy while connecting with family and friends. The multi-talented Wyatt Russell exemplifies how to “Savor the Day” and savor the sip with his approach to life and work. In addition to his athletic and acting careers, Wyatt is an entrepreneur as co-founder of Lake Hour, a line of ready to drink Sparkling Cocktails evoking the fond memories of “real leisure” and “sit-back-and-sip” camaraderie of a day on the lake with family and friends. We had a fun Kitchen Chat at the finale of the fifth annual Pr%%f Awards at The Palms in Las Vegas. Congratulations to Lake Hour for winning a double gold award at the Pr%%f Awards! I had a great time being one of the judges at the 2023 Pr%%f Awards.
Here’s a look at our video chat:
https://youtu.be/XGrjKUxAzMAFor Wyatt, a remote lake in Canada was the special gathering place for family time and inspiration. World-class hockey talent was what brought the family to Canada in the summers, when Wyatt was just 10, to support his passion and gift. Wyatt co-founded and launched Lake Hour in 2023 with friend and film producer, Richard Peete. They became great friends when their wives introduced them to each other. During a family vacation and while in a hot tub, Wyatt and Rich created the idea of Lake Hour which features a sparkling and fresh cocktail to capture the flavor and special memories and stories of being at a lake with family and friends. To avoid the fake sugar taste of many ready-to- drink cocktails, Wyatt and Rich chose to use premium vodka and 100% blanco tequila as the base of the drinks and only 3.4 grams of raw cane sugar. The flavors include Honeysuckle Ginger with vodka, Peach Jasmine with vodka, Rosemary Yuzu with vodka and Watermelon Cucumber with tequila and are available right now in markets across the US include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Oklahoma.
Please always remember to drink responsibly and only if you are 21 years or older.
As many of you know, Wyatt is starring in the popular Apple TV’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters with his father, Kurt Russell. How exciting that Kitchen Chat had the first media interview about this show!
What are some of your favorite memories and stories at a lake?
Savor the Day and Savor the sip!
The Author
Scott Roux was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the US, he splits his time between Boulder City Nevada and Antigo a small rural community in Wisconsin. He has a deep faith that has sustained him throughout his life. He attended a Catholic school before serving in the military. Scott while working as a sales executive for twenty-seven years obtained a degree in Marketing from a California University, all achieved while supporting a family of two, a son and a daughter.
The relationship he had with his biological mother a native American and the role a loving Grandmother played is interesting. Scott’s father was very much in the boys’ lives, but what he experienced in one of the worst rampage shootings in Wisconsin in November 2004 impacted all concerned. This event is talked about in the book.
Despite the many ups and downs in Scott’s life the event that had the most impact on his life was the road accident he endured when a two-ton truck collided with his car, the traumatic brain injury he suffered changed his life completely as he could no longer carry out many of the normal everyday life events he so much enjoyed. Scott is still adapting to a different life, the road to a full recovery has and continues to be a slow process.
In 2020 while on a trip to the Grand Canyon with his daughter two eagles buzzed them from above, for Native Americans the spirit of the eagle is a powerful totem (hence it’s the symbol of America) Scott took their presence as a sign to start writing this book of his, so let’s turn to the book.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/XUALusf8EDYThe Book
Thirty-one breath-taking chapters about the life of the author Scott Roux is what you can expect from this book. The events that unfold within the pages here are so profound and overpowering, that once read you can begin to understand how Scott’s life has been shaped and driven by these experiences.
The book is written with such amazing clarity, openness and frankness as Scott takes you on the journey of his life from birth to almost present day. When you look at the chapters, you’ll see Scott has chosen a quote from a variety of people to head them up, but each quote has some bearing to the contents within. Ultimately, Scott wants each of you to consider your own everyday meanings that impact your life, and how your past has influenced those meanings, and how the present impacts on them and how those every day meanings could influence your future. More importantly he wants you to momentarily reflect on three key areas that impact all our lives. Who am I? Why am I here? And what is life all about?
Yes, Scott wants you to think about yourself and the chain of events that shape your very existence, but he’s done it in such a clever and highly imaginative way, all told against a backdrop of a confounding story about himself, which is riveting, tense and a real page-turner.
The Native American connection is fascinating, hence the image on the cover. What is that connection? Well, you’ll have to read the book and watch the interview to find out for I’m not about to give that episode of his life away here.
Part of the royalty proceeds from the sale of the books will go to St Jude’s Ranch Senior centres and Mole Lake Reservation.

The Story of my Soul by Helen P. Slater is the personal healing journey of Helen P. Slater. The book is written from a spiritual perspective, about divine love, abuse, trauma, spirit guides and soul healing.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
A long time ago in a land called the eighties I was working for a company that produced radio programs. We syndicated them to stations all over the country and I was lucky enough to work on a Pete Townsend special featuring the music of The Who. Pete Townsend is a fascinating and deeply religious man. At the time he was working as an editor at the publishing house Faber & Faber, the book publishing company that also published his book “Horses Neck”. Anyway, when asked about the single “Who are You” – a progressive rock-N-roll song he said it was actually written about God. Imagine looking up to the sky and asking God “Who are you?”
That story has stuck with me all these years. Today’s show is for anyone who has ever asked the question ‘Who am I?’ ‘Who are you?’ and ‘What am I doing here?’
Helen P. Slater is someone who did that very thing and got an answer…well, sort of…
Helen P. Slater – I called out one night, “Please help me” because I was feeling so helpless and one of my guides appeared to me and said his name was Jeremiah and he could help and then a whole host of guides turned up and I was told that I was seeing them on the Astral Plane and that I had extra sensory perception abilities. And they said we can take you on a healing journey because the reason you are actually sick is because of Karma and trauma and so I said ok, I’d like to go on this journey.
I’m going to jump in here because that was a lot. Her story is nothing short of fascinating and it’s all detailed very clearly in her book “The Story of My Soul” but to get the most out of this podcast you need to believe that anything is possible. That there is a world outside this one. That we all have Spirit Guides and they have a boss who we call God.
Helen P. Slater (New Reality) There is actually a reality behind the normal reality that we see and when you have Extra Sensory Perception which we all do have we can see into the astral plane. We can see things that we might not otherwise see.
How cool is that? Helen was at a very low point in her life so she looked to God for help.
Helen P. Slater – I got rich with chronic fatigue syndrome and had to move out of my house, had to use my savings to live off. I couldn’t work and then I met my guides.
She was not only helped but she was told that she had the ability to help others.
Helen P. Slater – They said to me you will go on a long journey because then you will know each step in the healing journey and you will. Be able to help other people quickly. And they said you have special gifts. You can heal peoples worries and anxieties from the root causes and I said I’d like to go on the journey. And so then they took me up in a meditation into a high white space and said that I could ask questions of the creator and they called God the creator because it’s a very different, very loving, very caring energy in this high white light space. And so that is the start of the journey and then my guide Madeline said please write it all down and then other people can benefit from this journey to heal Kharma and trauma.
And if you’re saying to yourself, hold on a second Sam, you said she was sick with Chronic fatigue what is all this about Karma and Trauma…I’m glad you asked… and we will get to that in a minute but first let Helen explain what what is was like to be taken by her guides on a healing journey into the astral plane.
Helen P. Slater – Now these beings are on this platform in our universe. They were surrounded by stars up in the universe it was very eerie and very stressful because I thought, I know something’s happened something very dangerous and these people are telling me to heal it basically and so I followed and followed and went to this star where there was a psychotic warrior and a beautiful being having a battle.
It was very eerie and very psychotic energy with this psychotic warrior and I was told that to heal insanity was one of things that I was asked to do because I developed mental health problems as well as suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. I had bi-polar. I was told that this star was where it had begun for my family and that the insanity and come from the ancestral line as well as coming from the should line and that it needed healing so with my guides we brought in water as the antidote psychosis and we brought in belief work because the psychotic warrior when he was very young was very damaged and hadn’t connected to it’s mother, his mother and so he had megalomania. He was attached to all creation and he thought he was God and on this planet, this beautiful being came and he was older and said no, look you know, I am a spiritual being and I’m going to teach you spiritual meditations and about God and the psychotic warrior who killed him.
I was absolutely devastated when I saw this.
So this battle has gone down through the generations in my family and with my guides who were able to heal it with water, with white light with unconditional love and with affirmations as well.
Have we overwhelmed you yet? This was just one of many healing journeys that she took. Her guides not only healed her but they taught her how to heal others and this work transformed her life.
Helen P. Slater – The whole process is about being able to heal others both with reading the books because people might get their guides by reading the books and go on a healing journey similar to mine or they may wish to call me up and have a healing and either way is really fine.
Now just to be clear Helen is not a medical doctor or a holistic physician. She is an intuitive healer, a gifted psychic and channel. She’s also a writer and a singer who once looked to the sky for help and got more than she could possibly imagine; especially when she was told to write about sexual healing.
Helen P. Slater – Well I felt a bit awkward I thought, you know, but Jeremiah said to me please write it because there will be other women who’ve had trauma in their childhoods who want to know that a beautiful intercourse is possible and sexual healing and it was very healing for me to write about it.
Her book is about more than her healing journey. It’s about the possibility of soul healing for all of us, it’s about knowing divine love and laying down the burdens of this life and all other lives and knowing a new state of being. Helen says one of the best journeys she took was in writing the book.
Helen P. Slater – Yes, very much. I was up at three in the morning sometimes typing away. It was just the most thrilling exciting journey and I felt like a sort of sleuth a sort of detective as I reeled back the years and went back and back and back and I found a doppelgaenger who was very wounded and he was influencing my life the reason I was in bad situations in my life and never felt comfortable at home it wasn’t necessary my parents but was the doppelgaenger. I mean it was incredible to find that and to heal him. I feel in my life now so much lighter, so much more energy, my mental health is much much better, my energy is much better and it was a privilege to go on this journey, an absolute wonderment it really was.
Do I need to explain doppelgaenger to you? It’s someone who looks just like you but is biologically unrelated to you. Anyway, If you have been traumatized in your life or you’re looking for some answers to the things you can’t explain, maybe this book will help you find some answers or at least some comfort in knowing that this kind of healing is possible.
Helen P. Slater – I would lie anyone who has experienced trauma in this life, women especially but also men and I think that for women a lot of the information in the book is quite hard to read because I had a lot of male past lives so healing the masculine was part of the book which is why I think it’s very useful for men as well because of course it’s been men in control throughout history really until now so to heal evil in the male side or viciousness and we can do that with Octorous healing so the book is for everyone but especially for a woman that has been traumatized in her life.
And if you want to delve deeper into Octorous or another kind of healing I would suggest starting at The story of my soul.com. There you can read an excerpt from any of her books, there are three of them, and if you like you can send her an e-mail for more information. As you heard earlier she’s open to chat with you about any of this.
There are links to Amazon and Barnes and Noble in the show’s description and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

In this episode, Cindee Williams at Her Greatest Moment, Cindee shares her most embarrassing moment openly and honestly with Gina.
Cindee, a repeat guest on the Exquisitely Aligned show, has worn many hats as a wife, mother of two, educator, and a co-multi business owner for over three decades. She has many “a story to tell,” and this is certainly one you will want to hear.

She and Gina firmly believe that sharing stories opens channels for deeper communication, something so necessary, especially in our digital age. Learn how you can experience greater depth in your conversations starting today.

https://youtu.be/hzRqovQm8Z0Are you ready to define & design the destiny you desire & deserve?
If you ask yourself, “Is this all there really is?” You’re not alone.
Life has us busy, focused on what’s next, and striving to “have it all.” But “having it all” … the right career, car, house… doesn’t speak to how to have fulfilling relationships, meaningful life experiences, OR how to sustain those things.
When an unexpected, life-changing loss happens in your health, wealth, love life, or a struggling child, you’re left wanting MORE.
This is the work I do… I’m Gina Maier Vincent, Your Personal Soul Shifter.
I zhuzh you up. Quicken your pace. And prepare you to live your unspoken desire for MORE.
The answers ARE on the inside. I’ll help you find, articulate, and activate them so you live the destiny you desire & deserve. It’s your SUPER POWER —purpose, possibilities, and significance.

I love this quote because it is about taking action. Everything was analog when I started my business, so there was no internet or social media. Wow, how times have changed!
Looking back, the learning curve for using social media, email campaigns, and other digital resources was like learning a foreign language. Since this is not my zone of genius, I stay in my lane with what I know: Sales! So, like many of you, I had to find experts to help me grow my digital presence. I love learning and using the various ways to get exposure to help more people and serve bigger. To me, it all seems like magic!

Have you ever heard of the term micro-aggression? Microaggression refers to actions or words said to a population(usually to a minority population based on race, gender, or religion) to express bias, stereotypes, or negativity by a person, people, or an organization. During this session, we will use three mindfulness techniques to navigate our responses to microaggressions. Here is an outline of the podcast.
Mindfulness Techniques:
- Introduce mindfulness as a tool to navigate and respond to microaggressions. Mindfulness doesn’t seek to eliminate these challenges but helps us build resilience and respond more effectively.
- Breathing Exercises: We will use simple yet effective breathing exercises. We will concentrate on using our breath as our anchor. It is essential to stay calm and centered when faced with microaggressions.
- Visualization: Eartha will guide you through imagery exercises. The goal is to help participants imagine a safe and peaceful place to retreat to mentally when microaggression is encountered.
- Mindful self-refection: Specific mindfulness awareness activities are suitable for adults and children, which help participants become aware of unintentional social cues that may be copied by individuals who desire to become accepted in a social group.
- Connect Mindfulness to Compassion: Highlight the link between mindfulness and compassion. Encourage listeners to cultivate self-compassion and empathy, not only for themselves but also for those who may unknowingly perpetuate microaggressions.
- Encourage Consistency: It is important to consistently practice mindfulness to build resilience and healthy mental, physical, and spiritual responses. It takes time and regular practice to develop these skills.
By combining a clear understanding of microaggressions with practical mindfulness techniques, your podcast can offer valuable insights and actionable steps for individuals to navigate these challenges with greater resilience and compassion.

Peter Wright is with us for the nineteenth time. Of all our Seek Reality guests, he is the one who has helped the most listeners with their personal problems! Then they sometimes let Roberta know about that, so she would email Peter to thank him, and that would lead to her having him back on Seek Reality again. At first we thought of Peter Wright as primarily a past-life regression therapist. But he also has helped Roberta with some issues that she was having with her spirit guide, Thomas, when she was first getting that relationship well established. It turns out that Peter is a man of many counseling talents! Peter Wright is a certified hypnotherapist based in Santa Barbara, California, with more than 25 years of experience working with more than 2,000 clients. And he holds the distinction of being one of only forty board-certified Past-Life Regression Therapists in the United States. During this interview, he talks about an amazing anonymous case history, in which he was able to help someone to clear a prior life’s problems that were deeply affecting him today. Peter’s website is insightsfromwithin.com.

A few years ago, the owner of web talk radio, Mary Lou, was coaching me on becoming a better host and making my podcast interesting, fun, and engaging. Then, one day, she told me, “You need to start recording your show using video.” I couldn’t hear anything after that, as if in a time warp. In my mind, I was thinking, “Did she tell me I need to record the show using video? So people could see me! That’s crazy and not happening.”
After a few minutes of her sharing the benefits of video, I buckled and embraced her recommendations. That was about three years ago. That is the best advice ever!
I have become so comfortable on video that being on Zoom was like breathing when COVID hit. I created a digital class, and yes, you guessed it, I use short videos to teach the content of our weekly group coaching calls. Basically, for most businesses, using video isn’t an option. It’s a must-do.
Do not fear; I have an expert to break this down into actionable pieces so you, too, can create some binge-worthy videos.

The Author
Salty Yeom is from Daegu in South Korea, he comes from a scientific and mathematical academic background. Salty has attended various universities in his home country but has long held a desire to extend his scholarly education in the sciences by attending the prestigious University of Stamford in the US. Salty strongly believes that education is a fundamental right that should be open to all, for education is key to knowledge and knowledge is key to a successful and fruitful life. Salty currently coaches young students in Maths. His religious thinking’s are quite unique, it’s almost as if he’s combining religious teaching with scientific evidence. Of course, those with a scientific mindset are nearly always looking to justify a theory, teaching with proven facts to support the ideology. For me life isn’t always so clinical and at times you simply have to go with your gut instinct, which as we all know doesn’t come with rhyme or reason attached to it.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/e3ohGhAFH0AThe Books
He is Back: Ten Pieces of Evidence
This is Salty’s second book, is it a follow on from his first book God’s Plan? Or is that just coincidental. Maybe if he writes more books on this subject matter, he might consider grouping all the books under a series. Who Knows!
But for the purpose of this podcast interview we’re mainly focusing on his book ‘He is Back: Ten Pieces of Evidence.’
In this book, Salty examines the prophecy of the second coming, proving evidence that our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ will be returning. When! well, that’s the big question and only God knows the answer to that question. The evidence Salty covers off in this book, is split into ten pieces (hence the subtitle) nicely divided into three Acts/parts. The book also finds Salty addressing such key areas such as:
What signals are given that could possibly indicate Jesus’ forthcoming return.
What conclusions can we draw from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Why must we be cautious of the existence of false Christs.
What signs pointed to Jesus’ initial arrival.
Salty also discusses the prophecies of the so-called Second Coming of Jesus in the New Testament, plus rejection of Jesus due to recognition issues surrounding his identity, form and appearance outside of Israel.

God’s plan; Alpha & Omega of Covid-19
Salty Yeom’s debut book God’s Plan you might perceive as a book coming from a different angle pertaining to certain religious theories. I wouldn’t go as far as to say his views are radical, but they are certainly thought-provoking, so to ant erudite reader who likes a provocative book around religious ideologies then his is the book for you to analyse, and maybe challenge the author’s viewpoints.
The book touches on the recent pandemic of 2020 that besieged the world in so many ways. Was the Pandemic part of God’s plan as a sign of judgement on mankind or was it a menacing virus that wreaked havoc across the world with no intervention from a higher so-called being. Religion, whatever your views or beliefs certainly dominates our everyday lives. Salty Yeom I would say has some strong views here, which when I first chatted to him struck me as odd, particularly when you learn he comes from a scientific and mathematical background subjects that he teaches young students in Daegu, South Korea where he lives. My conception of scientists is that they find it hard to accept the bible’s version of man’s origin for they usually want evidence, proof so to speak rather than just believing, so for me Salty appears to have broken the mould here which for me is odd. It’s an intriguing read with interesting viewpoints, so go and have a look.

The Story
Spider Man in the Kingdom of the insects
Peter Parker worked in a very large scientific company dealing with things like radiation, which of course is how he came to be Spider Man. Now the company was working on how to miniaturize things to make them very very small. Peter was the lead scientist in this project as it was his idea and strong belief it could be done. He was working with fellow scientist Bart Black, who had long been in Peter’s shadow there at the company.
Peter had just made a major breakthrough in bringing about making things happen. Bart was always rather jealous of Peter and his brilliant mind which was full of imagination and creativity. So, the day finally came when Peter was ready to test his miniaturization machine on a large object. He picked a human dummy about his own size and placed it in the target zone where his new Gamma ray gun was to shoot it full of Gamma rays. He was looking to make the dummy the size of an insect.
He returned to the control room and told Bart to turn on the machine and fire it at the dummy. Unfortunately, the laser beam missed the dummy very narrowly. Peter told Bart to wait before trying again. You see, the laser gun was stationary and hard to move. Peter thought it would be easier to simply move the dummy a little so as to have a direct shot from where the gun was now aimed.
But before Peter could move the dummy to the right place, which was where he was standing, Bart fired the laser gun and hit Peter instead! Peter screamed out, ‘what have you done Bart?’ Bart just looked at him with a big smile and said, ‘I guess we’ll find out won’t we.’ Peter was in disbelief! He told Bart to press the alarm button and seal of the lab. Peter wasn’t really sure what might happen next.
So, a few minutes went by with seemingly nothing happening. Then suddenly Peter began to feel something happening with his body. It reminded him of when the radioactive spider bit him. Only this time, he began to notice everything around him getting bigger. This didn’t make sense at first to him. Then he realized it wasn’t that things were getting bigger, but he was getting smaller!!!
‘It worked,’ he shouted out to Bart! ‘It sure did’ answered Bart with a devious smile on his face. Peter just kept getting smaller and smaller, till at last he stopped. Peter then asked Bart how small he was. Bart told him while laughing, ‘you’re as small as a spider.’ Peter Parker was so proud of this moment. Then Bart followed with, ‘and what do we do with pests like spiders? We get rid of them of course.’
It was at this moment! Peter understood this was no accident. Bart had done this on purpose. And now Bart was going to remove him from the picture altogether! Peter knew he better get out of there fast!! Bart was making his way down to the area where Peter was. Then Peter remembered, he might be small, but he as still Spider Man!! So, Spider Man he was.
Spider Man shot out his web to the upstairs area where Bart had just come from. Bart was busy trying to find Peter on the floor where he had been. The webbing, Spider Man shot out wouldn’t quite reach the upstairs. What was Spider Man to do then? Suddenly he saw a fly going in that direction and he shot his webbing at the moving fly. What luck! Spider Man got a direct hit on the flying insect as he flew upstairs.
Spider Man let go and was falling to the floor, so he thought. But all of a sudden, his fall was broken by of all things, a spider web! ‘You have got to be kidding me he thought.’ Then before he could think next, a great big spider came towards him and started to attack him. Spider Man quickly jumped on the spider’s back and rode him across the web. Spider Man next shot his webbing around the spider’s legs so the spider couldn’t move anymore.
Spider Man said, ‘see ya brother.’ and shot his trusty webbing at the ray gun. It was a direct hit right at the on/off switch! Meanwhile Bart was standing right on the target zone where he had zapped Peter previously with the ray gun. He had a completely frustrated look on his face. That’s when Spider Man tugged with all his might on his thread of webbing and pulled down the switch turning on the ray gun.
The powerful Gamma rays hit Bart right between the eyes. Then Spider Man turned the gun slightly by pulling on his webbing. Lastly, he tugged the switch down to REVERSE and the Gamma rays shot at the space next to Bart. Spider Man then leaped and soared downwards to that very spot. He landed successfully and stood there as the Gamma rays hit his little Spider Man body.
It was at this time. All the other scientists entered the seemingly empty control room to see Bart just standing there not knowing what to do or say. The scientists kept questioning him as to the whereabouts of Peter Parker. The something incredible happened. Peter started growing back to his original size. At the very same time Bart began to shrink until he was now the size of a spider!
Peter scooped his hand down and picked up Bart. Peter then said with a big smile on his face, ‘boy have I got a story to tell you guys!!!

Bob Weatherly is from Florida in the USA; he’s been a deep-rooted spiritualist for as long as he can remember. Bob has a natural ability to tell stories something that comes across passionately in all that he writes. He went to Mararishi International University as well as Longwood University where he obtained a degree in History. In the past he has been a teacher and a park ranger two very contrasting careers you might say, nevertheless he enjoined these diverse pathways, to which we add his love of creative literature, hence his love of writing. He firmly believes that we and especially young adults/mature kids can overcome all our inner inhibitions and achieve the goals we set ourselves, be they big or small. For Bob the best way to subtlety conveys this message to the younger generations was through his creative storytelling, hence his choice to write for 9-12 -year-olds.

https://youtu.be/VjLnz3sij94The Book
This book is a same sex sci-fi romance novel, its deeper message is about anyone who is in societal eyes different and how orthodox religious teachings prejudices those that are seen, viewed as non- compliant with historical scriptural teachings. The point of the book is to give support and understanding to anyone struggling with their religious practices and ideologies, and their individual sexuality. At times in the book the author Mark’s views in this sensitive area are quite determined and beguiling.

The Author
Molly Arbuthnott is a teacher, editor and academic from Perthshire in Scotland. She is passionate about the promotion of children’s literature. With a solid understanding of literature and the ability to read, she believes you can take on the world.
She uses her experiences from life as inspiration for her writing. Teaming up with four fantastic illustrators has helped her to breathe life into the stories. Each story is loosely based on family or friends who have been important in her life whilst also trying to tell stories in an honest and gentle way, singing praise to the things we must celebrate in our world. Teaching children to look out for others, work as a team and not be afraid of doing the right thing that is important. Such lessons might then filter through and be reflected in the way we live in the magical world around us.
Each book teams up with the charity which is associated with the theme of the book in some way. Part of the profits from the book sales are then donated to the designated charities.
Possessing an affinity for the world of books, Molly often finds herself at bookstores, libraries, schools and book festivals throughout the UK, sharing interactive and engaging writing and storytelling workshops. Her, podcast ‘My Favourite Books,’ engages both young and not so young to chat about common book interests.
Molly is keen to ensure young minds through smart innovation see nature in its most natural format and once they have seen that natural beauty the world has to offer, then right from an early age they will start to understand how important it is to protect earth’s delicate balance, plus respect and appreciate it more. Some of her books open this burning emotion of hers to young kids to explore and contemplate.
The world of academia Is at the heart and soul of this young Scottish woman’s life, she has taught in Italy, Africa as well as the UK. Molly has several degrees from prestigious universities like St Andrew’s in Scotland and Cambridge in England, she’s recently completed a M.Ed. in Children’s Literature from Glasgow University.

Molly, I wish you all the best in your new adventures and once again thank you for giving me another interview to talk about your fabulous children’s series ‘Oscar and Friends.’
Finding Peace teaches Biblical principles without preaching “do this or do that”. It shows how to simply navigate life’s challenges with practical teaching anyone, Christian or non-Christian can apply.
The main story line takes place on Miss Mazey’s porch or in her garden. It’s centered in a country setting meant to invoke calm and peacefulness. The bookfollows the relationship between Miss Mazey and Jamie as they travel through the obstacles, twists, and turns of Christian living.
Miss Mazey will astound you as she gently teaches Biblical principles in answer to life’s problems. She lovingly guides the reader through the challenges that often grip us as we go about our daily lives. Her lessons will bless you as you learn what it takes to live a peaceful, rich, and rewarding life.
Finding Peace will touch your heart as you share in Jamie’s enlightenment. The characters will grow on you as you walk with them and reflect on your own journey. You are assured to ponder the ways you handle situations and circumstances along the way. Walk with Jamie through self-discovery as she answers the questions, “Why am I here?” and “What am I to do?” Take a word from Miss Mazey; “Whatever it is that calms your soul and lifts you to a curiosity about your Creator, that is what you are meant to do to set you on the path to peace.”
You don’t have to go on this journey on your own. You can embrace the wisdom of your elders as they guide you to apply God’s Word to everyday living. Applying that wisdom leads us on the path to peace as we change our minds.

During this episode Eartha will discuss the importance of regular mindfulness practice. Enjoy the story style method of reinforcing the need for routines and schedules, while allowing flexibility to accommodate life’s transitions.
The story is about Sophia and her squirrel friend, Nutmeg, who often distracts her during her adventures. Sophia learns a unique mindfulness code, “not now,” which helps her stay focused and calm, even when facing nervousness and distractions. Join Eartha as she leads a discussion on mindfulness and breathing techniques, highlighting the importance of focusing on the breath as an anchor for staying present and promoting relaxation.
Eartha emphasizes the significance of responding to distractions with calmness and discusses concepts of executive functioning skills developing in the frontal part of the brain. It is important to train oneself to avoid impulsive actions and encouraged the audience to find ways to practice and benefit from mindfulness in their daily lives.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Jason Reynolds
“Be not afraid of discomfort. If you can’t put yourself in a situation where you are uncomfortable, then you will never grow. You will never change. You’ll never learn.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/C2PnmCYdElUShow Highlights:
It’s crazy to think that growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone. Stretching is like a rubber band is the only way to do more, with less effort and better results. So, without change, results will never happen. To me, that is a scary thought. So, if we don’t embrace change and are uncomfortable, we stagnate and live a life by default, not a life we have chosen. I think this is one of the reasons I love hosting this show. My guests and I get to discuss ways for all of us to grow and change, hopefully with a little bit of ease and grace.

Hrvoje Muzar has more than being a fitness coach on his mind. He lives and teaches by a fascinating age-old philosophy of Vipassana which “H” says teaches us “to start being comfortable with being uncomfortable”.
Perhaps a paradox? But isn’t that what our life’s journey is all about… mastering emotionally the inevitable the ups and downs of life with successful navigation?
The journey of “H” begins with an ascetic or monk like retreat in Poland to his thus inspired own ENERGISE RETREAT in the stunningly beautiful Croation landscape where he, not only, encourages physical fitness but feeds the body with optimum nutrition and the mind with his well-studied and experienced wisdom from the pre- Buddhist philosophers and with a little from our Ancient Greeks.
Hrvoje teaches us that self-awareness is essential through our understanding of basic principles which can enhance and foster more positive relationships with others and so much more fulfilling journeys with partners and our children.
Let us lose our monkey brains and be the wonderful self-fulfilled humans we can be and inspire others just like “H” has done for us, today.
Yes, a must listen and listen and learn AGAIN! Hrvoje Muzar –

https://youtu.be/ZpL2SFDnMTEHighlights:
When COVID hit, and many business activities stopped, the one thing that continued was email campaigns. Now that things are kind of back on track, are email campaigns still relevant?
This is an essential question for all types of businesses to think about because our email lists are potentially our long-term lifeline for continued business.
So, how do we create value-added emails so people not only open them but take action to investigate and buy?

“Find a great need in a near edge and act upon it to make a difference” as my father always encouraged. This has proven to be a powerful recipe for action, especially for Nancy Brinker, a three-time Ambassador and New York Times best-selling author, and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. She launched two impactful charitable organizations from her kitchen table. Nancy is regarded as the leader of the global breast cancer movement. Her journey began with promise to her dying sister, Susan G. Komen that she would do everything possible to end the shame, fear and hopelessness caused by this disease. Since 1982, Susan G Komen Foundation has invested nearly $1.1 billion in breast cancer research. The second charity that Nancy recently founded is the Promise Fund of Florida, which helps ensure that every woman, regardless of her circumstances has access to life-saving cancer resources. She was shocked to discover that 80,000 women ages 18-65 in Palm Beach County do not have health insurance coverage, and 30% of breast cancers are at an advanced stage when diagnosed. Kitchen Chat was honored to sit with Nancy at this very kitchen table where she started The Promise Fund of Florida to discuss an issue that is important to both of us. Nancy and I are breast cancer survivors.
Nancy Brinker and I met at Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO) event at the United Nations where she was being honored by Wendy Diamond, the founder of the WEDO. During our Kitchen Chat, Nancy and I of course bonded over our love and appreciation of food. She shared highlights from her favorite meals as U.S. Ambassador to Hungary along with her appreciation of her late husband’s accomplishments as a pioneer within the restaurant industry. Norman Brinker was the founder of Steak and Ale and CEO of Brinker International which owns Chili’s Grill and Bar, Romano’s Macaroni Grill and Maggiano’s Little Italy. He is credited for revolutionizing the casual-dining restaurants in the United States.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j28StSlmQYIn a full circle, “hugs from heaven” moment, Nancy invited me to join her for the Women of Distinction awards luncheon in Palm Beach which is hosted by Palm Beach Atlantic University. She of course is a past honoree. What she didn’t realize is that when my father was president of Palm Beach Atlantic University over thirty years ago, he actually helped create this concept of honoring women in the community.
Please help support the Promise Fund of Florida and make an impact for women to have access to life-saving cancer resources. Thank you, Nancy Brinker for finding “a great need in a near edge and acting upon it to make a huge difference.”
Savor the day!
Foodie friends, what are some of your favorite charities that you discuss at your kitchen table?

Astonishing how one government report rattled the White House last week. And the rattles in the White House like rock splitting politics are causing a chain reaction throughout democratic circles about who should be their nominee for President of the United States in 2024. Doc Holliday will talk about the Hur Report and has several clips of representatives and even President Trump himself speaking from clips on Newsmax. A question that every voter in 2024 will have to ask themselves is: will Joe Biden be the best person to run our country for the next four years? And how active intelligently could Biden be in 2029 when the term for whoever is elected president will end. An astonishing show is ready for you, and don’t forget if you think you are paying too much for your health insurance then you should check out this link to get a free quote.

In this episode, the Crone & Sage discuss the differences on The Path between Offerings and Sacrifices and when they might choose to use each one. During Our Practices segments where we talk about why and how we do what we do when we do things, we finish up the parts of a Ritual with the Closing Section. Finally, this episode’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint talks about using the energy of the Times of Candlemas, which is where we feel they are the times of Creativity & Inspiration, to consider changes or trying out different things as part of one’s own practices of ritual and/or magick.
Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – John D. Rockefeller

Good is the enemy of great, yet sales leaders hire the wrong team members or hire correctly but don’t provide long-term support.
I have more stories than I’d like to admit here where I’ve had the worst of the worst sales leaders throughout my corporate career. Hiring the right people, developing the right people, and building a high-performing team isn’t rocket science. Yet, many organizations go through the churn and burn revolving door instead of trying the development route. Why?

“Man UP”. “Act like a man.” “Real men don’t…..” If you’ve ever heard or made these statements, or something like them, what was the outcome? While the patriarchy has given men, especially white men, a lot of power, it also has “boxed” them in to performing in a certain way to be acceptable. This creates some very damaging consequences for men individually and society as a whole. Sex and relationship coach Dr. Charlie Glickman addresses the harm of the “Man Box” and presents healthier alternatives.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Brian Dive
“Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/mCfWazpoyvoCheck Out These Highlights:
I am an action-taker. I don’t know how to be any other way. Sometimes I feel it is a blessing, and other times, a curse…lol!
At the end of the day, having accountability metrics in place truly holds us accountable to ourselves and those who depend on us. So, this quote hit home for me. In my travels and training at companies around the country, it is easy to see those that hold themselves accountable and those that don’t. those not accountable seem to blame everyone or circumstances outside of themselves quickly. Accountability is an inside game, so deflecting is just an excuse not to do something.
So, during today’s show, we will discuss how to Retrofit yourself, your relationships, teams, and organizations by playing The Integrity Game®!

This book expands on the work of the author related to an important microhistory of Social Emergence in the Hindustani culture presented in the author’s book, LOVE AND HONOUR? Marriage for Peace.
In 1993 reports from India of parents killing their children in public because of social shame related to forbidden marriage began coming to world attention. Admira Ismi (Bosniak) and Boko Brki (Serb) were killed by sniper fire while fleeing the besieged city of Sarejevo on Vrbanja bridge, now known as the ‘Romeo and Juliet Bridge.’ Their bravery ‘became a symbol for the suffering of the people on all sides of the conflict.’
The challenge of young people for rights to options is highlighted by the phenomenon and imperative of romance tragedy within and across cultures. Globalization brings awareness of other cultures: of their legends and real life heroic stories; of their struggles and sacrifices; and of their social progress. This study focuses on the time period from 1993 to the present time during which romance tragedy in India especially, began attracting world attention through the media.
The prime focus of this storyline is in northern India, especially Haryana, in the period 1993 to 2013. However, the issues are discussed in relation to romantic legends and history in a variety of cultures. The second part of the book relates peace-making at a local level to global issues of working for peace.
Reflecting hugely intense joy and sorrow, storytelling of romance tragedy through the arts and media brings compelling heroism to our attention. It leaves us with a message of hope for the new generation.

The Author
Helen Pauline Slater is a woman who has led a varied and adjustable life. Born in the sixties in Bristol in the UK, where she still lives today. As a child she would often take herself off into the woods to enjoy the beauty of the natural world and at the same time take the inner peace she found there to talk to God. Growing up she accomplished numerous academical successes cumulating in attending a University of Building & Construction an area she pursued in her professional life until she fell ill in 2018. 2018 was a low point in her life feeling disenchanted and betrayed by who she saw as her God she sought alternative divine routes. Helen reached out to divine guides that she believes took her on a new journey, a journey that she gives credence to resolving her state of mind at that time, bringing about the person who she is today. Helen has long explored several spiritual paths from devotional singing, Buddhistic meditation and Shamanistic, along with alternative medicine approaches. I think it would be a fair assumption to say that Helen has an open mind approach to life, which when I looked at the book came across quite admirably.

https://youtu.be/it1ogjG03qQThe Book
This book has been a journey for Helen P. Slater as she reveals the experiences that have shaped her life and hopefully others to follow. The forty-nine chapters that make the narrative are remarkable, powerful and insightful. The areas of topical issues are breathtakingly written with a sublime touch of reality to them. Is the end of the world nigh! Is Yeshua, a common alternative form of the name Yehoshua in Hebrew, Iesous in Greek, Iesus in Latin and Jesus in English the saviour for all! Helen’s thought-provoking viewpoints may not be to everyone’s cup of tea, nevertheless, are intriguing and highly captivating. For those of you that have a spiritual perspective that is a fundamental part of your life, then this is a must-read book, very much written from the author’s own perceptive observations.

Thank you, Helen, for giving me the opportunity to talk to you about your book ‘The Story of my Soul.’
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
I hope you are in the mood for romance because today we are going to explore forbidden Love and how overcoming some of our cultural taboos surrounding it can inspire Hope and even lead to World Peace.
Love is very powerful. Are you familiar with William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” you probably are. Its one of the most famous tragic love story of all time but I’ll do a quick summary — The setting — Verona, Italy. Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet meet at a party and its love at first site. However, their families were sworn enemies. Despite all that they decide to get married in secret. Lots of things happen and Romeo ends up killing Juliet’s cousin in a fit of rage, rather than being tried and jailed for his offense he is simply banished from Verona. A different time I suppose. Juliet, desperate to be with her beloved Romeo, takes a potion that was supposed to simulate her death.
Romeo, unaware of the plan, hears news of her death and returns to Verona. Seeing her lying there he takes his own life right beside her. Of course she wasn’t dead and upon waking she finds Romeo dead and subsequently takes her own life.
The reason I’m telling all this is to emphasize the high cost of hatred and division. You see it in West Side Story and many other famously tragic plays and movies but the bottom line is, if the elements of hatred and shame were missing, there would be no story. For the sake of entertainment value that would be a bummer but for the sake of peace it’s another matter entirely.
So, if you are the kind of person who understands that love can happen across cultures, or within different religions and that the penalty for crossing these boundaries should not lead to death, but in fact they might even lead to peace on an epic scale…then you are in the right place.
Entering stage left is David Evans….
David Evans – It all happened suddenly in 1993. I read an article in the Guardian of an Indian man who hanged his son in public because he married, a forbidden marriage bringing shame to the village; bringing shame to the families.
That’s David Evans, author of the book Present Day Romance Tragedy: Romeo and Juliet Style and 1993 was a pivotal time, which we’ll get into in a second.
David Evans – And the keyword really is shame brought by the children on their parents and the society and it leads to an impossible situation for the parents.
As we’ll see, nothing is impossible but that article led him down the road of discovering all kinds of public deaths in the name of forbidden love. Right or wrong, in some cultures death was an acceptable form of punishment for anyone breaking this law. You murder someone in America and depending on the state, you could be put to death. Same thing for marrying the wrong person if you are a member of certain cultures.
David Evans – I have a friend in Delhi who is interested in the same topic and sent me newspaper clippings about similar circumstances and this formed the basis of material that I could start a PHD thesis along the line of Romance Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet Style. That brought me in contact with all the wonderful literature of different cultures about stories of Romeo and Juliet Style which are in every culture.
And, as you might expect he compiled all the stories he found into a book making it extremely convenient for us to read and learn. The book is about a romance tragedy, about lovers who would die for each other rather than be separated. The is particular focus on India but there are plenty of fascinating stories of social progress in relation to forbidden Love that have implications for us all. And not all the stories are tragic, well…most are but not this one.
David Evans – There’s only one actually non tragic story that I really love and that is of Tutanekai and Hinemoa from New Zealand and Hinemoa swam at night across to the island where her lover lived and they got together and the next morning they didn’t know if there would be intertribal warfare or not but the chief and father gave in and they celebrated and lived happily ever after.
It’s a beautiful story, Tutanekai and Hinemoa met and fell in love. Tutanekai, a young warrior had to return to his village but while separated the lovers agreed that every night, Tutanekai would play his music and Hinemoa would let his song be her guide as she swims the three-thousand mile trek to Mokoia (Moe-Ko-E-uh) Island. No big deal if your Diana Nyad…
David Evans – But their wonderful stories of different cultures and they are all exciting to read.
Absolutely but I want to close the loop on a couple of points that we Brought up earlier and one is the year 1993 regarding the situation in India.
David Evans – 1993 was pivotal because these stories came to all India attention and they came to global attention. And that led to a social response now before 1993 these happenings in villages would be reported locally and ignored generally and nothing would change the system but when it came to public opinion this led to the authorities having to do something. In fact the high court eventually favored the death penalty for perpetrators of the killing of lovers. So, it’s a very action packed story, ongoing.
The suffering in these tragic stories is felt by people on all sides of the conflict and it ultimately goes even deeper to the fight for the right to make our own choices.
He says the slow gradual change from violence to non-violence’ to acceptance, to eventually celebration is a generational change that is not only welcome but that can inspire hope and he also says it’s important to examine how these stories can help bring about peace.
David Evans – the second part of the book is about the implications for, globally for pathways of peace, with so much strife in the world at the moment it tells you about some of the key mediators, people who win Nobel prizes for their peace work. You can read about Nobel Prize laureates . You can read about leaders of Peace thinking, you can read about various religious stances on peace and it’s all about our pathway to peace and I think if there’s a key message it’s education for peace which would start with children.
His book is called Present Day Romance Tragedy: Romeo and Juliet Style, and despite the somber theme, it’s going to leave you with a message of hope for a new generation. It suggests that even through tragedy, there is potential for peace, for positive change and for a better future for all of us.
David Evans – These stories are worth reading. They can be read virtually by everybody, young and old. And the conclusions are, everybody has a job to do in working for Peace, working up ways to solve conflicts and to work for Peace on a day-to-day basis.
We all have a job to do indeed. David is doing his part by bringing these issues to our attention through books and by lecturing at Peace conferences.
David Evans – It’s a lovely chance to talk all about this and talk about the lessons from the local situation that can be learned globally and be pointers to how peace can be achieved.
And you can’t talk about Peace without bringing up Ghandi and his three Pillars, Truth, Non-violence and Harmony. He talks about all of these in the book but I found a great quote on the website NobelPrize.org from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and I wanted to share it with you. He said, “Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. Indeed, it is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.”
Peace and Love to all of you and thank you for listening. Present Day Romance Tragedy: Romeo and Juliet Style by David Evans,is available now at all the places you like to shop for books. There are links in the show notes to make that job easier for you andthat will do it for this edition of Newsgram from webtalkraido.com.

It’s Groundhog Day which is actually a tradition brought over by German immigrants from Europe in the 1800s which was adapted for local conditions in Pennsylvania. While he hasn’t seen his shadow predicting an early spring, this is just one of many that families brought with them to this young country, America, and have been passed down even if the reasons or the magick originally attached to them has been lost by time.

Meetings are neither bad nor good. They just are. But meetings are generally dreaded by many people. The problem is that they are poorly planned and conducted. This is unfortunate in that a well-managed meeting can be a vital conduit for leadership and management problem solving, decision-making, action planning, and communications. In this episode we discuss practical and proven ways to make meetings work for you..

During this episode, join me and a few parents validate how establishing a schedule or routine can be incredibly beneficial for both parents and children. The format of this TAB podcast is different. Here are eight reasons why schedules or routines are elementary building block for growth, stress management and bringing peace in the home:
- Predictability and Security: Children thrive on predictability. When they know what to expect, it helps them feel secure and comfortable. A routine provides a sense of structure in their lives. This is especially important in a world that can often be unpredictable and chaotic.
- Reduces Stress and Anxiety: For both parents and children, having a routine reduces anxiety. When daily tasks like mealtimes, homework, and bedtime are consistent, it eliminates the guesswork and potential conflicts about what should happen next. This can make for a more peaceful household.
- Helps Develop Good Habits: Routines are a great way to instill good habits in children. Regularly scheduled activities like reading before bed or cleaning up after play can become habits that last a lifetime.
- Time Management and Productivity: For parents, a routine helps in managing their time more efficiently. Knowing what needs to be done and when, allows for better planning and less time wasted. This can lead to a more balanced life where there’s time for work, family, and self-care.
- Strengthens Family Bonds: Routines often involve activities that require interaction, like family meals or game nights. These activities can strengthen the bonds between family members, creating a sense of togetherness and belonging.
- Improves Sleep Patterns: Especially for children, a consistent bedtime routine can lead to better sleep patterns. Good sleep is essential for physical and mental health.
- Builds Confidence and Independence in Children: As children grow accustomed to routines, they learn what’s expected of them. This can build confidence as they become more capable of handling parts of their routines independently.
- Eases Transitions and Changes: In times of change (like starting a new school year), routines can provide a sense of familiarity and stability, helping both children and parents adjust more easily.
In summary, a well-thought-out routine can be a powerful tool for maintaining harmony and balance in a family. It offers a framework that supports emotional and mental health, fosters good habits, and strengthens family relationships.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today we journey together into a fascinating presentation of resilience, creativity, and artistic magic. At 80 years old, Gennie de Lange, is still a powerhouse of creativity. She is also a self-proclaimed dyslexic ceramic artist who likes to turn challenges into pure artistic gold.
Gennie grew up during World War II, in her grandparents’ house, the one with the magical forested garden. One of the things that really stuck with her from those early days was a trip to the ballet to catch “Peter and the Wolf” – it was a moment that reinforced the adorable childhood belief that toys and animals get the whole world.
I wanted to share that little bit of back story with you because it lays the foundation for her newest work.
Gennie de Lange – This is a new gentle way of looking at how human beings caught in the conflict of war cope; with resilience, laughter and camaraderie and amazing strength.
She’s written a new book called “We will Never Forget” and it features a lovable little velvet stuffed mouse — I think you know the one.
Gennie de Lange – A beautiful little toy which is made of velvet. It’s not like a modern Mickey Mouse. It’s very soft. It’s held together with wire and doesn’t have a very startled expression. He just has a knowing innocent expression that a child would be used to.
This particular toy belonged to her father, so it’s very old and quite a bit different than the version we are used to today but it’s definitely him observing the world in his own unique way.
Her father loved that toy. She says he brought it with him everywhere — which is kind of how this whole thing got started.
Have you ever seen social posts on Instagram or Facebook that have a small toy acting as the observer? My daughter uses a small Llama that she keeps in her purse. Instead of taking a selfie in front of something like say, the Eiffel Tower, she would place the llama there. Oh she would get her face into plenty of photos but these fun llama photos made it seem like he was quite the world traveler.
Gennie de Lange – For many years I’ve been sending out a lot of posts to friends and I’d always used this observer, which is actually MM and he belonged to my father-in-law who came out of medical school in 1924. A third of his class died from infection. No antibiotics. But MM has always been — he’s the observer he appears on every page beside every picture. He has observed war in reality because my father-in-law who was a doctor ran a prisoner of war hospital for Italians outside Cairo.
So she juxtaposes the observer with artwork that she’s created symbolizing some aspect of war. War is something none of us wants but all of us have been touched by it in some way or another. “We Will Never Forget” is a gentle reminder of those times.
As an artist Gennie sees the world with a unique artistic vision and she understands the power of contrast. She decided that because it was so unusual to use two very different art forms to illustrate a subject that it would make an interesting creation. She was right.
There have been lots of things written and created about the heroism and suffering caused by war. Whether it be movies, novels, paintings or poetry — You are probably thinking of something right now — but she says the effect on humanity is less often discussed.
Gennie de Lange – It doesn’t sink in or it’s too horrible so we look away and I think there are a lot of people who still want to be able to emphasize or feel these emotions so the poems and illustrations are like listening to tiny tunes or lyrics. They’re not Haiku but they are short like Haiku and they just give people a taste of what it is like to walk in the shoes of somebody who is in the predicament of war. And then they can go back into their own traumatic lives. Poets and painters and everybody likes to just feel the heart of those people just for a little while.
I should clarify something here. The photos are not at all gruesome in fact they are just the opposite. They are all reflective and original. She uses her ceramic paintings as the backdrop for most of them. For example one of them is the observer looking at a backdrop of blue and yellow colors separated by a jagged red line to symbolize the war in Ukraine and the bloodshed and loss of life felt by the people there.
Gennie de Lange – After a while that heals and you only remember the good times but it is very painful at the time so I think that life is extremely complex and it isn’t one thing all the time but I think if you are in the Ukraine and living there if you still dance and you still fall in love and you still, if you’re an old lady think what can I do and so you put a grenade or medical supplies in a basket, get on your bicycle and take it to the front line.
He may be placed near a flower to show loss or a kerosene lamp to light the way or just a watercolor style painting of a bicyclist with a cello on his back riding off to play where the birds sing and sounds of war are at a distance.
Gennie de Lange – I think that the thing that surprised me the most were the responses that I got from people who after a little while couldn’t wait for what I was going to send out next Saturday and were amazed at how there were more and more things that I thought of that they themselves would have thought of quite easily and they spoke such lovely things, “I just can’t wait to hear what MM has said and then they would be terribly sad and hurt by what they were reading but they could recover and go on through the day.
It makes us feel. Why are we drawn toward war, horror movies, or even true crime podcasts? Somewhere in there lies a complex interplay of psychological, emotional, and cultural factors — which may be a bit too deep for this edition of Newsgram but at the essence of Gennie’s work is our mind’s ability to navigate and make sense of these intense experiences in a controlled environment and then walk away unharmed with just our feelings to guide us.
Gennie de Lange – And how people even when there’s only rubble and their house is completely smashed they still know that the spring will come and flowers will grow again. It’s not about the horrors, it’s about how people have hope and how they know they will dance and laugh but it will be under a dark moon.
Our lives, the things we are exposed to, shape who and what we are. Our experiences motivate us. Gennie reflects on her life growing during World War II with her father, the doctor who was also a real-life war hero and the stories he shared of camaraderie, daredevil escapades, laughter, determination, and sacrifice.
Gennie de Lange – I was alive in the last world war and my father who was a squad leader in New Zealand only dive bomber squadron used to come home on leave and he would come home in high spirits and I thin really bored up with adrenaline from the fear and the excitement and the thrilling times that he had had with his friends. There was immense camaraderie and at the same time terrible fear that he wouldn’t return from the next flight and I think he always carried with him this feeling that he was here on borrowed time, that he was beyond lucky to have survived.
That sense of borrowed time was probably driven by the fact that half of his squadron didn’t make it back. All these things make up the work of Gennie de Lange. Including the idea that life is a gamble, If you know anything about ceramics you understand that. Every time she throws one of her creations into the kiln, it’s a risk.
Gennie de Lange – Gennie talks about painting with Grey and watching them emerge from the kiln in bright brilliant colors.
Can you feel her passion? It’s no wonder her exhibitions sell out and now she’s using her ceramic paintings and her life experience as a backdrop for “The Observer” – a vintage, worn velvet toy witnessing the devastation of war.
Gennie de Lange – I think it applies to anybody who just wants to have a little glance at the heart and how you can walk in the shoes of people in difficulties. It also appeals to teenagers because I think teenagers are fascinated to hear what life is like in wartime and I think we just have a slightly different slant on how life is compared with how life is today and teenagers like to hear that.
It’s not just teenagers I’m on the end of the baby Boomers era and for me — my experience is quite different. I grew up with a war that nobody wanted to talk about and it hasn’t changed. When it comes to war, the world can be a very dark and ugly place from Vietnam to September 11th modern wartime is very dark but no matter what age you are we can all agree with one thing, “We Will Never Forget” and Gennie has helped to solidify that testament in her book.
Gennie de Lange – We must never give up. We must hang on to the truth, our own truth and we must remember that Spring will come again and things will always get better.
So, are you ready for a journey through Gennie’s world, where each ceramic piece accompanied by a child’s toy fuels a poem that tells a story of resilience, risk, and the timeless power of art and war?
The book “We Will Never Forget” is available now at all the places where you like to shop for books. We’ve put a link to Amazon and Barnes and Noble in the show’s description for you. If you Google it be sure and spell Gennie with G and enjoy!
Thank you for your time and patience with this emotional episode of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

The Author
Heather Hancock is a multi-genre writer, poet, and author of the debut Christian contemporary novel Sister Lost. Heather has lived with Cerebral Palsy from birth, but that has not stopped her achieving most of her ambitions in life, despite the abuse and discrimination she faced all fuelled from ignorance and fearful misconceptions linked to the symptoms identified with Cerebral Palsy. When the abuse levels became unbearable leaving her suicidal as a teenager, she gave her life to Jesus and found her purpose for living. Her faith is the cornerstone to overcoming the bullying she received from kids at school, and other adults throughout her life.
Heather worked in the Canadian health care industry as a unit clerk for over twenty-two years. As a Christian, her faith is at the heart of all her daily regimes, habits and this is clearly evidenced in her writing, something she has done since she was eight. However, her fascination with books and reading go back to her young days at the school library. When she’s not reading or writing, her favourite pastimes are crocheting and attending church online.
Christian contemporary and speculative fiction as well as poetry are the main genres Heather enjoys writing about most, she has three poems and two short stories published in the Coffee House Writers Anthologies volume 1: Nonfiction & Poetry, and volume 2: Fiction Anthologies (2020).
Heather presently lives with her husband and cat Willow in a rural area of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It can get very cold there in winter, believe you me.

https://youtu.be/EgqS_CbA2J4The Book
Two hundred and eighty-five pages depending on which version of the book you read awaits you the reader, the story is creatively told across forty-nine extremely well written and constructed chapters. The revelation that is revealed in Claire’s late grandmother’s will, would shatter any family member, for family relationships can be interesting at the best of times. When you think you know someone closely only to discover there’s an unknown part to them which they have chosen to keep hidden from you, and that invisible skeleton in the cupboard is revealed by a third party or as in this case in black and white print on a legal document, one can only start to comprehend the initial stirrings and feelings that person must initially be having.
Claire Langstrom the main character portraying this beautiful and sensitive story is a person who likes her own company, and society sees her very much as a loner, which is her choice, but what is revealed in her late grandmother’s will indicates in no certain terms she’s not alone. This revelation changes Claire’s entire thinking of who she is. The journey to ascertain the authenticity of what has been confessed will either end in joy or woe. It’s a story with themes of rejection, abandonment, and hate set against the backdrop of Canada’s early days of history particularly surrounding the treatment of some people facing a life with challenging disabilities. At the core of this narrative is a sensitive blend of faith, romance, and mystery magically woven together to create this epic tale.

The previous episode concluded a four-part mini-series focusing on leader-manager decision-making approaches or options when interacting with the organization or immediate reports. The four episodes were: Approaches to Managing; Leader-Manager Decision-Making Options; Using the Collaborative Decision-Making Option; and, The Art of Delegating.. This episode serves a corollary to the previous episode on delegating. The focus shifts from interpersonal interacting and delegating to organization-wide delegation. It offers two constructs that can be useful in thinking through, implementing, and keeping current delegation of authorities relating to the organization as a whole.
Originally Published June 17, 2022. In her book Deborah S. Greenhut writes ”Every caregiver must reckon with the question of how much to give…” So, what do you do when your husband is a Hoarder? That was just the beginning. Hear her amazing story. A little background on the disorder; hoarding is when people find it really hard to throw away things because they believe they must keep everything. Just thinking about getting rid of their belongings can make them feel very upset. This can definitely lead to marital problems and Deborah shares her story and the details of her new book, “The Hoarders Wife”,
About Deborah S. Greenhut
At age eight, Deborah S. Greenhut announced her ambition to become an author. Her mother replied, “Become a teacher instead to make a living.” Crestfallen, ten-year-old Deborah perfected her skill with a spangled baton to twirl solo as her school’s mascot. A one-time concert pianist-in-training, Deborah longed to trade up for a conductor’s baton, but that career path seemed closed to women in the 1960s. After earning her B.A. in English from Middlebury College then a PhD from Rutgers University, she pursued her original dream by becoming a writer, a teacher, and, later, a dean.

This is the second part of the welcome back to a new Transition Awareness Breathing podcast season. During this episode I share three basic suggestions which support achieving neuroplastic stimulation (growth of new neurons in the brain). Growing may be feel uncomfortable at first. Because the brain is being stimulated to do something which it is not familiar with. Get ready to continue to learn about neuroplasticity and how you can use it to grow. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change and adapt throughout life. It’s pretty amazing! By participating in activities that promote neuroplasticity, you can improve your cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. So, what are you waiting for? Join me and let’s get started grow a new you !

Our guest today is yet another deeply sincere seeker. Ray Catania is an author, a metaphysical teacher, a theorist, a life coach, and the visionary behind Limitless Publications, Limitless Coaching, and Scientific Spirituality for the Modern Human. Ray has written two books so far in his “Awakening Series”: The first is The Atheist and The Afterlife. We’ll be talking about that one today. The second is You Are Still Alive, Now Act Like It. We’ll talk about that one in a later interview. Ray says that it is his insights that make him a sought-after practitioner, but in fact, he is just extremely, and spookily, very psychic. So his publicist calls him a sought-after practitioner in scientific-spiritualism and the practical applications of metaphysics. He has a thriving private practice, where he guides individuals on their transformative journeys. Like so many people nowadays, Ray has also had a near-death experience, and he is an ordained minister with master certifications in life coaching, Reiki, and meditation. He is now pursuing his doctorate degree in Metaphysical-Parapsychology. Ray Catania combines his extensive formal education with wisdom gained from studying under some leaders in this field, including intuitives, mediums, shamans, and energy healers. His websites include raycatania.com, limitlesspublications.com, and limitlesscoachingnow.com.

host Daniel along with his author co-host have an informal chat about the role of music and poetry in writing sci-fi and fantasy; the discuss its influences on their book “How Nicolas become Santa Claus” as well as some of their favorite music in the genre.
In this episode, the Crone and Sage discuss the concept of Sacred Space starting with the belief that everything is sacred and going on to why we would actually cast a circle when needed as part of a ritual. On Our Practices of The Craft section where we talk about why and how we do what we do when we do anything, we talk about about the Working section of a ritual, the meat and potatoes as it were. Finally, in this episodes Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint, the Sage talks about decomposable magick and how we can use those little pieces of things as correspondences or reminders of things that will decompose or wear away or be used by nature because time (nature) will re-place energy you put into collecting them or using them for spell work.
Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Napoleon Hill
“If you can’t do great things, do small things in a great way.”

Okay, I am a Napoleon Hill geek and love his quotes. The one I’ve chosen for today’s show is no different.
For the past 40 years, I have lived my personal and professional life working on or creating micro habits that I could learn, execute, master, build upon, and then rinse and repeat with the next skill I needed to grow to get me to the next level of success.
I have found that building small things upon each other is when magic happens. Developing expertise in anything is impossible without ongoing practice and effort—a simple concept.

Sometimes, when people are viewed as successful or become famous and are in the spotlight, I’ve heard people say, “They are an overnight success.” I don’t believe anyone is an overnight success. If we look back on their journey or path, it took possible years to become what’s observed as an overnight success.
That’s why I chose this quote for today. I believe we always have to show up and do our best because you never know who you are speaking with today, which may be your next big client, promotion, or job offer tomorrow.

Expecting your marriage to be clear sailing with n’er a squall in sight is setting you up for disappointment and resentment. Far too many couples focus on the wedding day instead of what they want the marriage to look like. As a result, they are not prepared to handle the predictable challenges when they inevitably show up. And, without the necessary skills to effectively address these challenges, couples find themselves drifting apart. Therapist, radio personality, and author of the new book, Love Hacks: Simple Solutions to Your Most Common Relationship Issues Kelli Miller reveals how you can get back on track and stay there.
If you are struggling to have the happy marriage you want, Lesli can help. Please share this informative show on Facebook and Instagram.

The Author
MaryEllen was born in northern Ontario, Canada to Italian Immigrants parents who emigrated to Canada from Italy after WW2. Like most first generation Canadians the choice was driven by the prospects of a better life both financially and circumstantial. The path that lay in front of her parents was far from easy, MaryEllen’s father died when she was ten years old leaving her mother whose native tongue wasn’t English struggling emotionally and financially with the prospects of raising a young family on her own, juggling multiple low paid jobs and balancing motherhood is no mean fate for any woman placed in that position.
Early memories of relative impoverishment have been the driving force behind much of MaryEllen’s own life, her determination to succeed both financially and as a mother to her own children Kevin (24) and Erika (21) is what she gets out of bed for each day. Mary Ellen has been married for thirty-one years to a man she best describes as a bit of a spend thrift, especially when it comes to one of her spending ideological schemes. MaryEllen has done a variety of jobs to make sure the family accounts balance, particularly a social worker, though in her words not so much monetarisation rewarding, but enriching in so many other ways. Trying new ideas and projects to inject and infuse a sustainable interest in life is another core aspect of MaryEllen’s life hence the reason for her undertaking the task of writing this book, MaryEllen sees this an adventure, a new path to grow in her life, her husband reaction is, how much is this jaunt going to cost, and here she goes again. Oh, the joys of marriage, you can’t beat it.

This is a short book of approximately forty-four pages that are highly illustrated with appropriate and vivid illustrations that sublimely support the overall narrative of the book, that being young adults can find motivating forces both within themselves and the environment around them. For me the book is aimed at 7–10-year-olds. What’s fascinating in the story is how a yellow hi-vis jacket transforms the main character MaryEllen from being stuck in life to becoming a confident youngster following a different path in life. Lockdown had a profound affect on MaryEllen like so many youngsters not being able to go out and see their friends, but how MaryEllen adapted after Lockdown is surprising.

The Author
Dr Rebecca I Payne sees herself as a New Yorker/New Jersey girl at heart and has spent the last numerous years punctiliously studying biblical texts. What she ascertained from her research has had a profound influence on her life, to the extent that her life as she knows and sees it today is a far cry from her carefree youth days. Dr Payne continues to seek God’s counsel and judgement in her daily routines something she learned from her religious studies around her Master of Arts degree in Biblical Exposition. In addition to her degree in Biblical Exposition Dr Payne has a doctorate in Business Administration.
For Dr Payne life started in Queens, New York City, then to Brooklyn and finally East Orange in New Jersey where she presently lives. Like most of us her life has been a journey of ups and downs but over time the strength she has gained by the Lord’s guidance has as she sees it steered her and continues to steer her down the right path, a path that has opened new channels in her life, a life of confidence and spirituality and it is that journey that she writes about in her books.

https://youtu.be/hgaWEXQBZ5kThe Book
There are nine chapters to this poignantly composed small book of fifty-eight pages, the story and the message Dr Payne is getting across is told through the eyes of two main characters, Miss Mazey and Jamie as they face everyday life from a Christian understanding of how to lead a faithful journey. For me the chapters ‘The Path to Peace’ and ‘Hope through Pain,’ really stood out, but that’s my opinion, look for yourselves.

Shine The Light
This book is about one woman’s walk to Christ Jesus and the journey it took to get a deeper understanding of the relationship we can have with God, Christ and the Church.
https://www.amazon.com/Shine-Light-Rebecca-P-Woodall-ebook/dp/B079431BD4/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1X7QSIDOJAP7R&keywords=SHIne+the+light+payne&qid=1706116336&s=books&sprefix=shine+the+light+pay%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C323&sr=1-2Reflections
This book explores the notions of who God wants us to be and suggests an interpretation of what He wants us to do. It presents us with a divine opportunity to ponder what we want from life, and it gives us the challenge to reflect the image of Christ Jesus. It is both dynamic and cathartic in life lessons and experiences, and the way we choose to live.

Dr Eben Alexander 111, academic neurosurgeon, formerly Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, takes us on an inspiring journey from near death experience to the Afterlife.
Listen with an open mind and learn how science accommodates his experience and many of the medical profession applaud his take on the mind body debate and his interpretation of our reality.
Dr Alexander has appeared on many U.S network shows including with Oprah.
His book “Proof of Heaven” has been on the New York Times Best Sellers list for over 2 years AND his books including both” Proof of Heaven” and” Living In a Mindful Universe” can be found in 40 countries with almost as many translations.

More about Eben Alexander III, M.D.
http://ebenalexander.com/ Academic neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander III, whose career includes decades as a physician and associate professor at Harvard Medical School and revered teaching hospitals, was once staunchly committed to the materialist world view — the belief that the physical world is all that exists.
His scientific belief system was altered by his 2008 transcendental near-death experience (NDE), an odyssey into another realm during a week-long coma. Despite a bleak medical prognosis, Dr. Alexander awoke to make an inexplicable return to full health.
His medical case and recovery were validated in the peer-reviewed Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. Since his NDE, Dr. Alexander has been reconciling his rich spiritual experience with quantum physics, cosmology and the philosophy of mind.
Dr. Alexander speaks around the world to educate about the role that consciousness plays in wellness, healing and recovery.
A pioneering scientist and modern thought leader, Dr. Alexander has been featured in more than 400 media interviews including for ABC-TV’s Good Morning America and 20/20, The Dr. Oz Show, Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, Larry King Now, Fox and Friends, Discovery Channel, Biography Channel and numerous international radios, digital and podcasts.
His books are available in more than 40 countries: Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife, The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife, and Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Heart of Consciousness, co-authored with Sacred Acoustics co-founder Karen Newell.

My motivational quote for today is by – Publilus Syrus
“You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/mWdhRwwR9DICheck Out These Highlights:
Through my 40 years in sales and business, I’ve learned that putting people first is kind and profitable. I’ve created the environment people need so they can thrive with the great side effect of improving the bottom line.
It’s funny that throughout my sales career in the financial services industry, kindness has never been a word I would use to describe the leaders I have worked for. Sad but true.
Another word I use for kindness is respect. And most of you know my motto for developing quality selling skills is to do so through love, care, and respect.
About Christy Pretzinger:
Christy has always intentionally built her business based on a culture of kindness. That approach has proven good for people — and the bottom line.
Over time, Christy discovered her true calling: to create a workplace that nurtures personal and professional growth and helps other leaders do the same. She’s been featured on numerous podcasts. See for yourself how Christy is reinventing how businesses evaluate effective leadership, how employees can contribute to success, and how everyone can win. It all starts by building on a foundation of kindness.

Mix that with being raised in poverty – not associated with drug abuse but by having a young mother with few choices. Now after coming back from near-death, Rustie helps others take back their lives and “live by design”. The author of several books, consultant and minister – she leads people to thrive. Join us and hear her story! You will learn about her golden pearls of wisdom and how she came back from a life many never escape.

Because where we live and practice, we have been inundated with snow and cold over the last week to ten days, it seemed like a great idea to give you an extra bonus Quick Spell to try if you want. It’s called the Freeze It Quick Spell so that’s wildly appropriate. We all have those things that would benefit from being “put on ice” for a bit either to allow for clearer thinking later or to take time to cool off if we find ourselves angry about something (more than we would like to give it credit for). So here’s a quick spell to freeze something to give you the time you need.

In his groundbreaking 1993 book, The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World, Amit Goswami used the findings of quantum theory to argue that consciousness creates what we perceive to be the material world. This conclusion is in direct opposition to scientific materialism, which holds that consciousness -- if it even exists -- arises from the gray matter of the brain. Since this book, Amit has continued to expand his thinking to cover evolution, health, and even "quantum activism." On this show, Philip and Amit discuss the origins of his thinking and the future of the consciousness-first movement. It took the Catholic Church 359 years to admit it was wrong about Galileo's theories. How long will this revolution take?

In this episode, Living Her TRUE Calling with Pat Backley, Pat shares freely with Gina her life’s journey and how she came to be living a purposeful life.
Pat Backley is an author, born in England, but now happily settled in Auckland, New Zealand. Passionate about people and travel, she has lived a colorful and interesting life and her books reflect these passions. She published her first book just before her 70th birthday, (yes, you read that right) and in the two years since then, she has written and published another six titles. She now intends to write till she dies!
Pat is truly a bright, expansive ray of sunshine… lighting the way for others. And this is exactly what living Exquisitely Aligned is all about.
She explains, “Life is like a jigsaw puzzle: you don’t understand what you have until you look back on it to see how it all plays out.” TRUTH!
Listen in as Pat describes growing up underprivileged, the oldest of four children, shy, and lacking confidence while living in a little village south of London. She recounts her passion for reading the Encyclopedia which allowed her heart to fill with BIG dreams.
Her big dreams would soon unfold. She now has lived a life rich with experiences – not all easy – but experiences that shaped who she is today. She turned one of her most traumatic times into her number one selling book – “The Abandoned Wives Handbook.” A book that still brings her to tears when she reads it.
She also shares a piece of advice she was given at a young age and how it shaped her first international move and everything for decades to come. If you could use an uplifting story to warm and inspire you, then this episode is for you.

Nearly the entire field of psychology and especially developmental psychology has been normed on white elite males and then generalized to females. Although the virtues and styles of women leaders have often been classified as lesser and even demeaned, we are now seeing the power and effectiveness of those behaviors, especially in leadership. Dr Stacy Feiner, Dr Kathy Overbeke and their colleagues have authored a new look at a holistic developmental model which they call The Sixth Level. In this session we discuss how they came to their model and how it adds to our understanding of both human development and leadership.

I teach mindfulness techniques that research has proven will decrease stress, decrease blood pressure, increase concentration, and reduce the effects of allostatic loads. I have read numerous articles and studies about the physiological changes people have when they practice mindfulness. I admit my mindfulness, awareness, and relaxation practices have grown more robust over the past five years, and I feel more confident about my practice. It is almost automatic. Yet, I began to question: Is my practice as fresh and new as when I first started? Do I see my participation in mindfulness with the mindful quality of "not knowing"? I process the "not-knowing" mindfulness quality as being open to lifelong learning while maintaining a bit of child-like curiosity. I want my practice to continue to grow.
I am interested in this self-evaluation because I teach mindfulness, awareness, and relaxation to a diverse audience of various ages. I want to be a better guide in growing calmness as a response to stress, introducing ways to decrease burn-out and naturalize utilization of growth mindset concepts. I began wondering if because I was used to teaching mindfulness, is it still as effective as when I started my practice. How can I validate this? I took the mindfulness challenge. This podcast is the second part of the series "Fact or Fiction: Does Mindfulness Work?"
I put myself in the spotlight to discover and share if I practice what I teach. I would like to share my challenge with you.

Welcome to Healing From Within with host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Messages to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from spirit that show us our challenges are not economic political or societal but often a deep disconnect from our inner true soul being or wisdom. Today I am delighted to welcome a former guest of the show Feroze Dada, author of his new book A Disciple: The Spiritual Path to Infinite Happiness which shows us another way to live and asks important questions about faith, spirituality to connect us with the power of meditation.
Thank you Feroze for sharing the energy of your kind and loving soul with our listeners. For those who wish to listen to the last show Feroze and I shared go to my website www.sherylglick.com on the Radio page July 202O where we discussed A Spiritual Journey to Burma Buddhism and Freedom
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her sensitive and intuitive authors seek answers to age -old questions such as “Who are we?” “What is life all about?” And “Does anything survive physical death?” We seek to understand our dual nature as both physical and energetic beings and try to improve the quality of life as we help humanity evolve and create heaven on earth or pursue goodness, kindness, love , compassion and healing.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Feroze Dada who believes passionately that it is meditation that provides the foundation for a caring and compassionate future shares his story of spiritual awakening evolving and becoming a teacher in his book with tales from mythology, quotations from Rumi, and references to Sufi texts all adding color to the Wisdom Teachings he is receiving for not only awakening our latent potential to live our best lives but also to transform this world.
When Feroze is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown him or others around them the lifestyle he might embrace as an adult he tells us about Rumi a Sufi mystic from the 13th century who tells of meeting his teacher in the market place and as he brushed by him felt a lighting bolt or storm ignited within him. Feroze was in search of his spiritual teacher when a similar event happened to him. As a successful financier a client came into his office and the energy between them was so invigorating that Feroze asked him how he maintained that state of being. The man told him he was a spiritual master teacher and when he was ready he would teach him but the time was not yet. Feroze began his meditation practice and eventually became an initiate of this man.
Feroze tells us how helping a Buddhist Monastery in Myanmar which supported over 1200 orphaned refugees affected what came next in his journey to self-discovery and fulfilling his spiritual needs. For the author Feroze Dada discovers the practical experience of helping a Buddhist monastery in Myanmar supporting over 1200 orphaned refugees from the war, commits him to an unfolding path towards self-discovery and understanding and one that will increasingly fulfil his spiritual needs. Through his work at the Healing Sanctuary we discover that as his awareness of the world of spirit grows, so too does his recognition of the power of Healing. He experiences a life-changing prophesy of severe illness by a spirit medium at the Healing Sanctuary.
Feroze writes, “Sitting in meditation at home on the morning of May 2, 2019 he was totally unprepared for an image given to him directly from Spirit. It was a clear 3 D image of a malignant tumor in his body. Purple and red with black malignant spots seeping through the top insidiously spreading through my flesh. Fear gripped his heart. It needed to be removed from his body and fast. He heard a whisper in his ear: “This is the truth. Act Follow this up now.” The intensity in the words struck hard against...
In this episode, we discuss our own meanings on The Path for correspondences and how you can use them to give your magick or rituals a boost. Our new segment about what we do and how we do it as part of our practices moves on to a discussion about Wands. We include another Quick Spell where you can set up Bedtime Crystals for accomplishing something the next day. Finally, this week's Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint gives you a few reminders about Balance.
One of the things that seems to surprise couples once they leave the “honeymoon” phase of their relationship, is that they are two different people. This realization is at the root of all the disagreements that follow. The bottom line isn’t that you married the wrong person. It’s that you need to develop strategies to deal with your differences. One possibility that my guest podcast host, author, and relationship coach Louis Morris recommends is to develop real compassion. He reveals just how you can do that in this episode.

Wayne is a good kid but has always had a hard time making friends. His dad is an air force master sergeant. He travels a lot, even overseas. Now, Wayne is in a new school and feels unsure of himself. Join Wayne on his adventure from Luke Air Force Base in Phoenix, Arizona, to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Today’s program is dedicated to all the military families out there and anyone who has ever raised a family with a job that requires a lot of travel and frequent relocation. It can be hard on the kids, especially the ones that have trouble making new friends.
Wayne Rankin – I had bad skin. I had pimples, buck teeth. I needed braces but you can’t do anything about that. It’s just the way it is. You might see that as a flaw but people look past those flaws and real friends, true friends will look past that and continue to communicate with you.
That’s Wayne Rankin, retired Master Sergeant from the US Airforce and the real life inspiration for his new children’s book Wayne, the Nerd from Arizona.
Here’s the premise. Wayne was living on Luke Air Force Base on the west side of Phoenix, Arizona. A real place. He was born and raised there, and despite his family’s many moves, it was the only place he could truly call home. When his father was transferred to Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany he found himself once again not only alone in a new city but in a new country and for Wayne making friends was not that easy. In fact, Wayne’s first day of school was a disaster. All he could think about was how little he had in common with the other kids.
Wayne Rankin – It was tough. you’re in a foreign country, not to mention not having any friends but making new friends. You don’t know anybody. You’re making new friends and trying to sort out with those friends for the next four or five years is pretty tough.
One of things that worked for Wayne was not focusing on the negative but finding the positives which is great advice for any situation.
Wayne Rankin – You’re parents or your dad is in the military and that’s life in the military, a nomad, a gypsy as they say. It’s a good experience. You got to go to a country you never dreamed about and you gotta make some friends because you’re on your own, an island and that’s that.
And the book is great for five to eight year olds who find themselves in this situation because it demonstrates how that’s done…or at least what worked for Wayne.
Wayne Rankin – It goes to that period where kids are trying to check you out and see what you’re made of and if you’re gonna make it or not. You feel very alone but that’s only a temporary situation. Eventually somebody is gonna gravitate towards you and you gotta make a friend.
We’ve all been there. Can you remember your first day of school, moving to a new neighborhood or even starting a new job. Human nature takes over and some people thrive in that environment but if you’re an introvert it may be more challenging so Wayne’s book is a tool for helping kids to understand that. Meet Anita…
Wayne Rankin – She tells him that, you can be anybody. Be yourself. Be true to yourself. You don’t have to change to be this or that, appealing to different groups. She looks past his flaws or what he perceives as flaws, his crooked teeth and his bad skin and says Look, I’m just here to be your friend because of who you are. You gotta realize that everything is temporary and you might have crooked teeth but they’re got braces. You might have bad skin but now they’ve got soap that clears up that stuff. It’s just temporary. You change. Your body changes. You’re just going through those awkward moments in your life where kids try to pick on you but that doesn’t last long.
We tell our kids this stuff all the time but what do we know, right? They may listen but do they hear us? This way they get good advice from someone like Anita that they can relate to.
Wayne Rankin – You know what? There’s another kid just like you feeling the same way and another kid and another kid and these kids all gather together and group together and they form their own group. The Nerd Herd.
Not to give too much away here but the story does have a happy ending. Wayne and his friends evolve from caterpillars to beautiful butterflies…in a manner of speaking. They become well adjusted young people with promising futures just like Wayne — we’ll get to that in a minute — it all starts by knowing you are not flawed no matter what you think and you are not alone.
Wayne Rankin – You know I enjoyed writing this book. I think it’s a book you can read to your kids again, again, again, again, again. You can’t say enough that whatever you’re going through, whatever flaw you think you may have, that flaw doesn’t mean anything to some folks and you are going to transform into somebody wonderful.
He knows what he’s talking about. Wayne Rankin is a retired Master Sergeant from the US Airforce where he served for twenty years. When he left the Air Force he went on to earn a Master’s degree in Human Resources and Procurement as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Management from Colorado Christian University. In 2005 he started his own business and today LOGMET LLC has 400 employees and a gross annual turnover of $20 million. Oh there’s more but that’s enough for now.
Wayne, the Nerd from Arizona taking time out from a busy life to send a message to kids like him. It’s gonna be o.k. It may not feel like it right now but your future is bright. You just gotta have faith.
Wayne Rankin – No matter what you are or who you are if you perceive yourself as having a flaw and that nobody likes you that’s not true. There is always somebody out there you can talk to or lean on and you’ll carry that with you for the rest of your life.
Wayne, the Nerd from Arizona available now wherever you like to shop for books but since this program is all about fascinating people living their lives in fascinating ways, I would suggest checking out his website. There you can learn all about Wayne Rankin and grab a copy of his book at www.waynethenerdfromarizona.com. That will do it for another edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com

The Forbidden Zone 1940 is a continuation of the story of Anne Angelo, as published in the companion book: A Sprig of White Heather and a Scottish Lass. It is a heart-warming story that completely justifies the researching and writing. It demonstrates how inexorably lives can be shaped and directed by the circumstances of birth and the environment in which the formative years are spent.
Born in Invergordon, Ross-shire, in the Highlands of Scotland, to parents utter opposites in cultural and social backgrounds, education, heredity, and race—and further, tragically, in conflict since the very day of their wedding—her world until the age of twenty was one of hatred and heartbreak, fear, and disillusionment and despair.
Released at that age, by entirely fortuitous circumstances over which she had no control, she enjoyed a period of blissful living in France. The coming of the War brought an end to that. The actions of the German Forces of Occupation against her drove her into her activities with the French Resistance.
It was inevitable she would be betrayed. She was forced to flee to the only place where she could be sure enemy agents could not reach her—her father’s house in the Scottish Highlands, where the security for the old naval base was still effective, but where she had no protection from her father’s wiles and hostile intentions.
In many ways, her story outdoes that of Hatter’s Castle. Clinging to the slender thread of the love she found in France, she endures. Until the sun shines and, in a surprising revelation, shows that motives and intents are not always what they are thought to be.

A gripping account of a young Scottish lass caught up in the German Occupation of France. The Forbidden Zone 1940 by Anne Angelo is a heartwarming tale of Survival under terrible conditions.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Today you’re going to meet Anne Angelo. A very brave woman who escaped from France in 1941. France was a very different country back then. In 1941 the Nazi’s occupied northern France and France’s Atlantic coastline all the way down to the border with Spain. It was a significant portion of the country and she lived in an area called “The Forbidden Zone” an area that Hitler had cordoned off and used as his springboard to invade Britain.
Anne is no longer with us but thankfully she took the time to write down her experiences back in 1949.
Hugh Hyland – She died in 1999 and then Covid came along three years ago and I was just rummaging through stuff and I came across a briefcase full of her manuscript.
That’s Hugh Hyland, Anne’s son who recently published her manuscript with the help of Xlibris. It contains a very detailed account of her life. Here is Hugh with a quick overview of his findings.
Hugh Hyland – It was divided into two sections. The first one was her being brought up in Scotland and having to escape from the clutches of her wicked father to France as a Governess in the 1930’s. The second chandre was her actually being in the Northwest of France. In 1940-1941 the Germans came through and she joined the French resistance and eventually she had to escape to get back to Scotland. That’s the basis behind everything
The two sections of her manuscript have now been compiled into two different books. The first one is called A Sprig of White Heather and a Scottish Lass where she talks about her childhood in Invergordon, Ross-shire, in the Highlands of Scotland where she lived until she was twenty. It was not a happy childhood. In fact, she says it was one of hatred, heart-break, fear, disillusionment and despair which is why she left and went to France.
Hugh Hyland – Getting out of her clutches of her father and going to Lille in the Northwest of France in the 1930’s.
And for a moment all seemed right with the world. She enjoyed France. It was there that she fell in love in a rather unusual way.
Hugh Hyland – One evening she was in a motor accident. She got run into by a British Army vehicle and that’s where she met Gerald. She fell in love with him there while the Germans were still on the other side of the border but then he had to get back to England once the Germans crossed over and the British withdrew. She was left stranded there but she was unsuccessful.
So she stayed, taking care of the house which turned into a hotel but it was still home. She also joined the French resistance. In chapter one she writes about how “Gerald came and went and life dragged on…” She saw the skies black with planes all day long and she knew she was going to lose her home one day.
Hugh Hyland – The stories got a bit of everything. Part of the story is her upbringing. finding a new life in France and also throughout Europe and the second part of the story is actually in the war and the escape and all the horrendous things that happened during the war and also the love story that intermingled with all of that.
Another thing I found interesting about this story was the various themes she explores. One of them is Nature vs. Nurture. How our lives are shaped by circumstances beyond our control. Is all this a preordained fate that we are destined to live out? Are we consciously or unconsciously in control of our lives? Are we being shaped by our environment and the choices of our parents? Here’s an excerpt from The Forbidden Zone 1940. Chapter One. “Reflections”
(Exerpt) “…What a contrast to the stark life in Scotland where I’d been brought up. Some people think we ourselves are responsible for what we become, but it’s not so. What we are is almost completely due to things beyond our control. We make some decisions yes, of course, but they’re really only relatively small ones. Even they are made in the light of what’s happened to us in the past. Shakespeare makes Cassius in Julius Caesar say, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings.’ But he is wrong. What we are is basically in our stars and not in ourselves. ‘Stars’ has nothing to do with it. It plans the circumstances and environment into which we are born. Primarily, we are the result of the genes we inherit from our parents. After we’re born, the lives our parents have lived have their effect on us. We are further shaped by the place we live, the climate, and what happens to us in our formative years. Everybody we meet has an influence on us, either for good or bad. I’d tolerated my father’s harsh treatment while growing up, not because I wanted to, but because I had no choice. I hoped I had not inherited his heartlessness and selfishness…”
Hugh Hyland – She had pluck. She had courage. She was a survivor. She could sort of manage to survive and not give up so that was one theme. Another theme was the love in the first part. the first few months where she and Gerald were getting very, very close together before he had to disappear. Then there’s the cruelty of war you know you have the stories of the refugees all being machine gunned and all the rest of it and a lot of that you sort of see happening right now in Ukraine so history tends to um, just repeat itself.
History does repeat itself. One of the nice takeaways here is that while it may sound familiar it’s still different in a number of ways mainly because this one is true and there are other recollections and visuals that you’ll enjoy like this one.
Hugh Hyland – She used to tell me about some of the horrendous things. Escaping from the Northwest of France down to Paris initially with the refugees and being machine-gunned and dead horses and bomb craters and you name it. It was so horrendous in winter up there. They had no food. It was freezing cold so occasionally she would go up to a German soldier and kick him in the shin just to get thrown into jail where she could get a couple of days of food.
Plus the story takes place in a specific region of France.
Hugh Hyland – This is specific to the Forbidden Zone. Most of the people I’ve talked to said what’s the forbidden zone? Why did it get its name? What was so special about it? So, that was a very special niche area for when the Germans were preparing to invade England and they had everything locked down even more so up there so this story is basically how civilians were living in the Forbidden Zone in the middle of winter. No food, no heating. That was a very sort of austere survival. The Germans would come along and shoot people for the sake of shooting them.
You can’t say enough bad things about Nazis. They are the absolute embodiment of evil and I’ll leave you with this. There are lots of things to like about Anne Angelo’s manuscript, the parenting issues, the romance, the various themes that we talked about but also the reminder that history does repeat itself and if reading about how things were can do anything to help keep us from repeating the sins of our past and the days of Naziism then in my opinion, it’s time well spent.
Hugh Hyland published his mothers original manuscript written in 1949 and its now available in two books. A Sprig of White Heather and a Scottish Lass and the most recent, The Forbidden Zone 1940 for anyone interested in the history of German Occupation in WW2, and how a young lady was able to survive the hardships and cruelty of war.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Hello and welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which show us that our problems are not simply economic political or societal but a deep disconnect from our true inner being or soul wisdom. Today we welcome Dr. Christopher Macklin, author of Centering the Mind, a powerful health practitioner from England who utilizes Divine Healing techniques to help people recover from all types of illness both spiritual and physical.
As listeners of Healing From Within are aware my esteemed guests and I share intimate stories and insights into the metaphysical aspects of energy and Universal Source as we continue to seek a greater awareness of human life Self and life beyond this physical environment. To make the most of our spiritual gifts and to live in the modern physical world we must raise our vibration and cultivate situations that heal, teach and govern our own lives as well as that of our community and world. It is necessary to process new thoughts to create a new reality of love and compassion which is the ultimate quest of the soul journey.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within, Dr. Christopher Macklin will share his impressive healing story from being a highly aware psychic child to a successful aviation industry engineer to a series of financial difficulties and the world as he knew it turned upside down. He promised God that he would use his healing abilities to serve humanity and he surrendered the rest to God. And so started his devotion to Divine Healing methods and helping many. We will discuss raising your immune system, re-balancing the brain through centering the mind, dissolving the enigma of Healing, discuss Covid and the vaccine agenda and the long- term effects of this pandemic and the effects on the health of the general public. Dr. Macklin shares his amazing life journey and ways to understand true healing which combines mind body and spirit unity balance and the centering of the mind.
When Christopher is asked to think back to their childhood and remember a person place or event that could have signaled to him or to others the lifestyle and interests they might pursue in adulthood for it seems that the story is written within our soul and comes into this life with us from the very beginning of this life journey he tells us he was able to see Spirit and knew perhaps it would be better if he didn’t share this ability with too many people so he could fit in with everyone and be like everyone else but eventually guides and help from Spirit guided him to use his healing awareness to help others as that was the plan from the beginning.
Dr. Christopher Macklin tells us about the PRIMARY CAUSES OF MENTAL / EMOTIONAL DISORDERS. The primary causes of the current mental/emotional illness epidemic are directly related to the state of the world we live in, the negative side effects of modern technology and the effects of social engineering. Many of us are living lives that are lacking in true connection. The supportive families and communities that are so necessary for creating a healthy, successful life have been undermined by the constructs of social engineering and the demands of daily life. There was a time when more couples were united in creating their families and at least one parent was at home to care for the children. For many this is a thing of the past. We find ourselves in homes where there are TVs/computers in every room. Many times, they are on and broadcasting information even when no one is watching. This has become a trend and people use the noise to make them feel less lonely. They use these screens to babysit their children and they use the never- ending barrage of information to distract themselves from the problems of daily life. These are habitual ways that people have adjusted to stress. None of it is particularly healthy in the long run. The noise pollution and the messages conveyed from the screens are often times destructive and create anxious feelings.
What is driving all of this over the edge is that we are being pushed to perform at a faster and faster pace within our schools and because of the demands in our jobs. We awaken and are on the go until we fall asleep. We work at full time jobs and then many times don’t have much left from our paycheck after we have paid the bills and buy food. Stress and tension mount and we never really have time to truly rebound and build ourselves back up from these experiences. All of this build’s day after day… week after week…month after month. Because of this, many of us are living in a perpetual state of PTSD. These experiences lack true and fulfilling purpose, happiness, love and joyful creativity.
All of this fuels the “loneliness epidemic” that the world is experiencing. In fact, it’s cyclical. Loneliness fuels the mental health epidemic and the mental health epidemic fuels the loneliness epidemic. The youngest generations…those who have had constant and continual exposure to electronic screens, social media and cell phones are the loneliest. Statistics show that the older generations experience less loneliness in their lives. Their habits are different and their concepts about life are informed by the experiences they have learned and mastered. They are also on their phones and screens less and spend more time in community with others doing meaningful activities. We are slowly and surely…gradually and completely, becoming more and more used to a way of life that is completely undermining our physical, mental and emotional health. And worst of all, this has become our new normal but it is not normal or healthy at all. It is as though we are filling our lives and our minds with poison.
A mere 100 years ago most of these problems didn’t exist. We may argue that life was far more difficult then but the truth is that we are facing a different set of wholly destructive problems today and we are losing sight of our humanity. And years ago, through the difficulties we had stronger communities, better food, clean air and a stronger sense of self. In reclaiming our personal power and sovereignty it’s critical to understand that we can heal the situations that we face.
We have to reclaim our understanding and wisdom around what is healthy. We have to regain the understanding of who and what we are and what we need in order to thrive. We need love. We need community. We need clean air and pure water. We need nature and we need to exercise. We need to feel good about ourselves. We need space to develop, enjoy and share our gifts. We need peace of mind. We need acceptance, kindness and compassion. We need each other. We need to feel a sense of purpose and connection to the Divine and to our values.
Dr. Macklin tells us that most of the mental and emotional illnesses that are besetting the world fall into 4 primary cluster headings: Anxiety Disorders, Depression, ADD/ADD disorders and chronic stress/stress disorders.
Many times, we find that people are suffering from more than one of these disorders at the same time. For instance, people with anxiety can also suffer from depression and one of the different forms of ADD concurrently. Someone may experience PTSD in addition to depression. Or perhaps they are experiencing OCD, anxiety, and depression.
In western medicine, the term for having more than one disorder is called comorbidity. These negative emotions and disorders affect a person’s perception and their capacity to think clearly. Sensitivities can grow while misinterpretations and more painful experiences accrue. Blame, guilt, fear, anger and shame build. Many turn to traditional psychotherapy and allopathic, pharmaceutical medicine hoping to find solutions. However, these traditional modalities are often problematic. Many times, people end up seeing several therapists and taking numerous different medications and yet their problems are never solved. In many cases they get worse because all of these medications have side effects.
There are other more advanced, holistic ways of helping people to resolve these issues and heal from them. We can work directly with the energy within and surrounding the person. Because everything is made from energy, all of these different disorders have a specific vibration and frequency. When we clear and heal the energy within a person’s body and raise their frequency they heal.
In Christopher’s practice, he has found that most of the negative energy in someone’s mental/emotional body is actually contained in the space around the heart and also in the energetic field around them known as “stuck, discordant frequencies” which are largely created because of unprocessed pain and trauma are magnetic. If a person doesn’t have enough present moment awareness to process the painful experiences, the energy of the unresolved issues remains within the person’s body. They energetically attract more experiences that match the frequencies of the earlier pain and trauma previously collected in the areas in and around the body. The result is that the person will continue to create experiences that vibrationally match these unresolved patterns until they become aware enough to do the inner work to heal the negative cycles.
A skilled energy healer can go into the energy in and around a person’s body and find the places where these negative mental/emotional patterns are located and release them. There are many different kinds of energy healing modalities that address these problems and they all work in their own way and at different speeds. Traditional methods from the East such as acupuncture, Chi Gong and yoga all work to gently and methodically release these discordant energetic patterns.
In the western traditions we have myofascial massage, chiropractic practices, therapeutic massage, meditation, present moment awareness and breathing exercises to assist in helping people release these patterns. All of these methods work without causing the dangerous side effects associated with western medicine. In the work Christopher does he helps people release the energy from their heart center and clear the energy from their body, chakra points, energy meridians and biofield using unconditional love energy from the ultimate dimension and angelic assistance.
Sheryl says as a Reiki Master Teacher/ practitioner she works with the help from a higher dimension of pure energy above with guides teachers and angels to allow the body to relax and release blockages and negative thoughts to create an environment that can receive higher vibrations of good will, love. and compassion so according to the Law of Attraction they can begin to improve their lives by becoming more of their soul magnificent and less of the fear induced energy they have had imprinted on them by others in this physical reality.
In Sheryl’s book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening she writes, “In reading A New Life Awaits I know you will discover much synchronicity with your own observations and find comfort in validating many of your own wishes t o live life in an expansive bolder approach creating new perspectives new thoughts taking you in the direction that your heart and soul were born to experience. Unencumbered by the rules and limitations of societal and familial systems imprinted from childhood, that may have made you forget the amazing loving magnificent entity that you are that was born to walk in delight on our beautiful earth landscape and with inspirational light you will find a new life awaits each day and you donot walk alone.”
Dr. Macklin goes on to discuss that “Stress is the greatest factor associated with the rise of mental/emotional disorders. We are experiencing so much continual stress and we are moving so fast that we never truly have time to recover and heal from the daily onslaught and pressure of our stressful experiences. When we don’t have the time and tools to process these experiences the effects of stress compounds. Stress is a state that can be handled in bits and pieces, under normal circumstances and with proper rest and support systems, we can integrate the stress and move on from it. Most people don’t have healthy coping mechanisms in place.
Under normal, balanced circumstances, the neurons in our brains and bodies are transmitting information and working together relaying a symphony of information. The branches of the neurons extend out like trees; and they touch each other, transmitting information and energy from neuron to neuron in the same way that tree tops can be seen touching each other in a canopy in the forest. This is the way information and electrical charges are passed along within the brain and within key areas in the body such as the heart and the GI tract.
The stress literally damages the neurons, causing them to shrink. They become compressed and pull away from each other which interrupts the smooth flow of information in the brain. This deeply affects our capacity to think clearly and how we interpret things. As time goes by, a person experiencing the negative effects of stress in the brain begins to function at less than their potential. They make choices from a skewed perspective because they’re not processing all of the information available. They don’t usually realize this however. Misunderstandings and emotional responses based on partial information create even more problems and more stress. And this in turn, when left unchecked, leads to the mental/emotional imbalances we are seeing in the world today. PTSD is one of the major stress disorders of our day. It results when we don’t recover from the stress and violent scenarios that we have been exposed to. Our system begins to automatically generate negative images and we experience heightened fear and sustained levels of anxiety and vulnerability
ADD and ADHD have become extremely prevalent in the last 20 years. Dr. Macklin tells us more of this often undiagnosed and misunderstood condition.
Both of these disorders are marked, most notably, by the inability to focus and impulsivity. With ADHD there is the added component of hyperactivity. There are more than 3 million new cases a year reported in the US and those who have it often experience high levels of stress due to their inability to focus. This one thing affects every aspect of life.
The different types of ADD have been researched and categorized by Dr. Daniel Amen in his landmark studies on brain scans and psychological/emotional disorders. He has isolated 7 types of ADD. In his brilliant book, “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life”, he states, “Clearly ADD is not just one thing. Knowing someone’s type or types of ADD can make a critical difference in helping them or yourself.
Think of:
- Classic ADD as the hyperactive child or adult who can’t sit still and is always on the go.
- Inattentive ADD as someone who is shy and more reserved, yet still can’t focus.
- Over focused ADD as someone who has ADD symptoms plus gets stuck on bad thoughts.
- Temporal Lobe ADD as someone who may be more temperamental and struggles with learning.
- Limbic ADD as someone one who is sad and can’t focus.
- Ring of Fire ADD where way too much is going on in their brains, and
- Anxious ADD where someone has both anxiety and trouble focusing.”
The demographic is clearly delineated. More males have it than females by a wide margin and the females that do develop it do so largely as a coping mechanism to stress. Most males who are diagnosed, have it because of organic, neurological factors but it can also be developed in males due to stress and other environmental factors. In addition, ADD is passed down generationally and it is more often found in families where alcoholism is present. Many of the people that Dr. Amen has helped have grandparents who were alcoholics
When working to heal ADD in yourself or others it’s important to be extremely compassionate. I find that so many gifted people have ADD and this is because the world is an extremely difficult place to live in. ADD is the coping mechanism the brain has developed to be able to bring these very high level gifts into the world in the midst of so much heartache and confusion. If you have ADD look at the different ways you have had to compensate in your life. Applaud yourself for all you’ve achieved and have come to understand because you had to find new solutions in order to move forward in life. -Look at the different places where you or your loved ones are experiencing ADD symptoms more prominently. Are you experiencing them when you are exercising? At work/school? While cooking or shopping? Is there a time of day when you are experiencing more problems? Isolating the activities and times of day when ADD is more active will give you great insight into the way the brain is functioning. It can also be seen as a tool to help you really evaluate what you choose to include in your life and why.
Depression is one of the leading mental disorders in America second to anxiety. Dr. Macklin tells us of that. It will plague more people around the world than any other disease and the majority of people on earth will experience it at one point in their lives. The various different types of depression are: major depression, situational depression, psychotic depression, Bipolar- disorder, seasonal affect disorder (SAD), peri and post -partum depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, situational depression and atypical depression. Its causes are obvious.
People don’t have enough information about the truth of their own divine souls or the fact that there is a divine plan that has been created for them. In God’s divine plan there is fulfillment, abundance and happiness for every individual. There is joy, community, love and success. Most people don’t even know that this has been created for them or that we access the divine plan for our lives by raising our frequency, developing our relationship with God and through following our intuition. Without this crucial information, however, the world we live in today appears to be a scary, hopeless and violent place that makes no sense. Depression is caused by the repeated, destabilizing effects of stress on the system and the sustained stressful situations in our lives. Family dysfunction, relationship and financial problems, health issues, work and school struggles all create the foundational basis for depression.
Depression can also be caused by a spiritual attack, energetic attachment, ancient rituals or by remote viewers. I have powerful prayers of protection that can be found on the CMM prayer app and that will remove these interferences. You can download the prayer app for phone and use the clearing/protection prayers until you feel a difference. Depression reflects an instability in the limbic system which is found in the central part of the brain. Stressful situations cause a release of stress hormones which causes the neurotransmitter, GABA, to flow at abnormally low levels. This causes the limbic system to begin to overwork. The result is depression. Many times upon waking, people are aware of a sudden strange, irritating and depressing feeling. This is usually a remote viewer. They monitor people from other dimensions and begin to discombobulate and drain them of energy as they wake up. If this is something you or your loved ones are experiencing, play “The Prayer To Remove Manipulation From Your Personal Life”
. PRAYER TO REMOVE MANIPULATION FROM YOUR PERSONAL LIFE
I am of God. I ground myself to the Earth. I command you dear God to break all spells, curses and ancient rituals in my life that are not good and true. I command you God to remove all negative remote viewers. Remove all radionics machines affecting my life now. I command that you rebalance any manipulations of the time/space continuum in this 3rd dimensional world and throughout all the time/space continuum in every dimension. I bring all the beings involved with any of my personal manipulation, infinite levels wide, infinite levels high, though all space/time continuum in every dimension before you God for justice in only the way You know how. It’s not for me to judge them, therefore I release them to you God with unconditional love and forgiveness. I thank you God and I send you my unconditional love. So be it. Amen
From an energetic perspective, a great deal of the time, anxiety has a component that revolves around spiritual attack the use of radionics machines. Negative remote viewers watch people from other dimensions and use different techniques to destabilize people and drain them of energy. They do this because they feed off of the energy and because they don’t want people to live the divine plan of their lives. And so, while a person may have an incredible amount of stress in their lives, this stress causes their frequency and vibration to drop. In doing this, the person lowers themselves into a vibration where the remote viewers can access them. Remote viewers don’t like high vibrational energy which is why keeping your energy clear and your frequency high is a major part of healing from any illness and clearing yourself of anxiety. Many times, when a person is continuously experiencing anxiety there is also an energetic attachment which creates the horrible, shaky feeling in the body that often times accompanies this disorder. These attachments also repeatedly feed negative thoughts into a person’s mind. Without the proper knowledge, people assume that they are simply suffering from a mental/emotional imbalance. They have no idea that they are being manipulated by an energetic attachment
ENERGETIC / SPIRITUAL ATTACKS There are many “less understood” causes of mental/emotional disorders. These sources have an energetic and spiritual nature and they work to influence how people feel and think. They especially work to create greater stress, to prolong duress and to offset people and keep them in mentally ill states so that they can be easily conditioned and controlled. The following is a list of the most prominent energetic/spiritual challenges that I find when working with my clients. I have also included some solutions following this listing which I have found to be very useful in treating these unseen but incredibly destructive, negative influences.
Ancient rituals spells or curses are extremely prevalent in today’s world and cause a lot of problems. Most people don’t really understand how they work or that they are being influenced by them and so they don’t take steps to break and release them. But these energetic intentions to cause problems can be cleared through using the methods listed below. I always advise that someone can send bad energy through wishing someone ill will or speaking with negative emotions against. They may not know that they are creating a curse but this behavior has the same end result and it’s important to clear yourself if you have ever experienced this.
ESOTERIC MERKABA FIELD PRAYER OF PROTECTION I am of God. I ground myself to the Earth. I command God to create 27 esoteric merkaba fields around me to protect me from any negative entities, fractals thereof, manipulations, and transmissional frequencies which are not for my highest good. I command you dear God to optimize the vibration of these merkaba fields with the blueprint of my DNA and the keys of Enoch so as not to allow anything to enter except for my highest good through all space time continuum in every dimension. I command you to activate it now God. And I thank you dear God and I send you my unconditional love. So be it. Amen
PRAYER TO RELEASE ANY CELLULAR MEMORY OR ESOTERIC TRANSFERENCE FROM PAST LIFE I am of God. I ground myself to the Earth. I come before you dear God for forgiveness for anything I have done in any past life to infinitum, through all space and time in any dimension that has been brought back into this lifetime and is affecting me now. I release it all to you God with Unconditional Love. I thank you God and send you my Unconditional Love. So be it. Amen.
PRAYER TO RELEASE PAST LIFE CONNECTION ISSUES I am of God. I ground myself to the Earth. I come before you dear God for forgiveness for anything I have done in any past life to infinitum, through all space and time in any dimension that has been brought back into this life time and is affecting my relationship with the person now. I release it all to you God with Unconditional Love. I thank you God and send you my Unconditional Love. So be it. Amen
Anxiety is a very specific kind of experience that in certain situations requires monitoring to make sure it doesn’t escalate. Whether working with children, adolescents or loved ones, take the steps to understand what would create better feelings when the anxiety is present. List the different solutions and create a plan to implement them when you begin to feel anxious. Dr. Macklin makes suggestions for lessening the effects of anxiety….Some people find that taking a shower or listening to calming music makes them feel better. Other people feel that taking a walk out in nature can help curb the feelings of anxiety. Whatever works, begin to actively incorporate these things into your life. -Create a goal chart and integrate a few new behaviors weekly that will help to keep your energy more relaxed and focused on better feeling states.
Addiction is rampant in America. We are living in a country that is rife with addiction. Let’s try to get a handle on why it is so prevalent today?
Many times, because of the problems that we face in life, people turn to substances or addictive behaviors and get lost in them. This is especially true when people are trying to self -medicate in order to ease the symptoms of stress and different disorders. And yet addiction in and of itself is a mental/emotional disorder.
Addiction is present in nearly all age groups. Children, adolescents and adults alike. Addiction is affecting all of us. Through the different types of foods, substances, electronics and behaviors, we are dealing with a culture that uses addiction as a crutch to ease the pain and keep us distracted, without ever solving the problems that we are encountering. Many times, people have an addictive psychology that they get lost in. The addictive behavior is based on the dysfunction of the glands within the brain. Just as in the case of repetitive negative thinking and OCD, addiction is based on the stressed, overworked state of the anterior cingulate gland. In seeking to heal the addiction and move beyond it, we also have to do things that will bring greater balance to the ACG.
Many times, in the presence of addiction there are also other mental/emotional imbalances, like depression, ADD and anxiety.to actively incorporate these things into your life.
In talking about Christopher’s divine understanding of Covid and whether vaccines may damage certain people’s bodies he is aware that many leaders in government and other agencies may be concerned with population issues and whether there could be long term negative results from the vaccine. That is still to be determined. But why the pharmaceutical companies were so resistant to letting the public know results of testing until 75 years into the future didn’t leave many thinking people with a good feeling. Now we are seeing many people vaxxed and boostered testing positive to Covid over and over again? It is concerning. The virus is there but the people may be asymptomatic as the body is already familiar with the virus and able to ward it off. All not confirmed or understood at the present time.
Dr. Macklin says as we become more aware of who we are as soul beings WE can always TAKE OUR POWER BACK! Many people today live lives where they feel powerless on some level. They are engaged in conscious and unconscious agreements and role playing with people and situations that they have allowed to take their power away and sap their energy. This can happen in a myriad of ways. We can give our power away to other people. We can give our power away to situations. We can give our power away to our schedules. We can give our power away in the family roles that we play, etc. Perhaps we got involved with certain people or situations because they made us feel needed. Perhaps, they made us feel safe in some way. These unconscious agreements create a distortion in our perceptual field that makes us feel powerless when in fact we are full of power.
At a certain point in the healing process, it becomes important to take your power back and live as the sovereign being that you are. You don’t have to compromise yourself and make yourself feel smaller in order to make things work well in your life. You may have felt this before and created situations that didn’t really serve your highest good, although in some way they served a purpose. We can often use these situations to make ourselves feel better by using them to close ourselves down. The most important thing we can realize is that we are not prisoners to these situations. We have in fact given our power over to them for a reason and somewhere in the subconscious mind there is an imprint or pattern that is seeking to be revealed and healed. We are Divine beings and we are fully capable of creating vast goodness in the world for ourselves and for others.
Also rest and rejuvenation are an extremely important part of the healing process. In fact, the value of consistent, regenerative rest can’t be underestimated. It allows the glands in the brain an opportunity to completely relax and it gives the body a chance to recuperate from all of the physically draining, discordant energy and confusion that is present when there is a mental/emotional disorder.
When experiencing an emotional disorder, we have to interrupt the patterns that are supporting the illness and introduce new behaviors that will support our healing. A wonderful place to begin is by creating a more relaxed, stress- free routine that prioritizes rest, rejuvenation and downtime.
It’s a scientific fact that the hormones of stress downregulate genes and create disease. Long term effects. Human beings… because of the size of the neo-cortex …we can turn on the stress response just by thought alone. We think about our problems, we turn on those chemicals. That means then our thoughts can make us sick. And if our thoughts can make us sick, does that mean that our thoughts can make us well? The answer is absolutely yes.” -Dr. Joe Dispenza, best selling author, neuroscience researcher
We thank Dr. Christopher Macklin for delivering “Centering Your Mind” that shares a detailed fact based description on all the issues facing modern day society in terms of health and immune function, affecting both physical and energetic conditions, that can be healed using a mind body spirit philosophy and therapeutic approach.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Dr. Christopher Macklin has explained and exposed new ways to look at depression anxiety addiction many forms of mental illness and healing methods and prayers that address both the body and soul.
Dr. Macklin writes, “The human body was designed to live in a state of coherency where everything works smoothly, cooperatively and in the highest ease and grace. It was designed to be in alignment and operate in a very specific way. When we access the original divine blueprint in regards to our physiological alignment, our minds and brains function in an optimal state and we are able to access more personal power, focus, joy and energy. Our lives are more fulfilling and we live from a place of guided intuition, inspiration, certainty and balance. Our frequency and vibration remain high and we live more effortlessly from a centered state of genuine authenticity…….. In restoring ourselves, we restore our brain. In restoring our brain, we restore the natural Divine order and design of the mind/brain connection. The mind and brain were never intended to function independent of the heart and soul. They are designed to function within the overall energy of the soul’s purpose. In order to live within the divine energy of the soul, we have to restore the mind back to its rightful place within the heart.”
Dr. Christopher Macklin and Sheryl Glick RMT would have you begin to heal -Center the mind into the heart. Center the mind in gratitude. Center the mind into present moment awareness. Center the mind into the depths of self-care. Center the mind into peace, joy and tranquility. Find the love for Self within and shed that love into the world as it was meant to be shared. Find the divine within and remember your personal power to expand and live a life of possibilities allowing your thoughts to create the life and love that is your divine state of being.

In this week’s extra, the Crone talks about self care from a Witchy perspective. On The Path,we think it is important to take care of all parts of our Sacred Three of Body, Mind, and Spirit. Along with the more “traditional” suggestions about caring for these three parts, we stick in some fun things to do as well because we value mirth & reverence in all things including taking care of ourselves.

So, about 35 years ago, I was introduced to a communication behavioral model called DiSC. My personal and professional life changed forever.
I became obsessed with communication skills, the psychology behind how humans communicated, the various assessments available, and how they measured our natural communication strengths and blind spots. For me, being successful in sales for over four decades is because I am obsessed with developing and teaching communication skills to other sales folks and business owners.
Understanding how to communicate effectively will act as a magic wand for you to change your life, too.

“Cold calling is not dead. Have the conversation mapped out in advance. Make it your guide for structuring your next sales calls.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/6xDSguQf3zkCheck Out These Highlights:
When I started in sales 40 years ago, cold calling was our only strategy. There was no internet, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, or even the internet.
We had to buy lists (that were typically outdated) and make cold calls to secure 15 appointments weekly. It was not an easy task!
Most business owners believe that cold calling is dead. During the next 30 minutes or so, listen to find out three ways to implement cold calling today so that you can either test a new service, find more leads, or test a market. These are simple and easy strategies that you can use repeatedly.

Did you just read that as sex? Many people equate intimacy with sex—but it is so much more. There is physical intimacy (of which sex is just one part), spiritual intimacy, intellectual intimacy, and emotional intimacy as well. The intimacy most of us are searching for involves allof them. And the type that holds a marriage together and helps it thrive is emotional intimacy. What does that look like? And how do you promote that in your relationship? Certified hypnotherapist and clinical psychologist Dr. Nancy Irwin reveals how you can build emotional intimacy in your marriage.

In this episode, The Power in Shedding with Juliet C. Dorris-Williams, Juliet speaks transparently about how she learned to successfully navigate the challenges that come with being a survivor of both childhood and adult trauma.

Her life wasn’t always easy. In 2020, three major unfortunate changes happened that cause Juliet to be overwhelmed with emotions. After decades of compartmentalizing her feelings (or as she describes, stuffing them into a closet) and doing it so well, the door to that closet became unhinged.
Listen in as she shares openly about her ever-evolving enlightening journey. She credits the transformative power of her Christian faith, therapy, and peer support as instrumental for her healing.

I challenge you to explore the thought, “Does mindfulness work? Is it fact or fiction, or have we been doing this so long that this is part of our natural response? I am working on putting a presentation together where I put myself through the challenge. I will put it out when it is ready so you can see how I took the challenge.
Just Practice: In this episode, we are just going to practice. I am sharing the same practice I did with the design team at USAA. I hope you will use this as a resource to help sustain your mindfulness practice.
The Raisin Practice invites us to appreciate diversity and individuality. Each one of us is different and individual. Place no judgment on the Raisin. It’s not a good Raisin or a bad Raisin. It is just showing its fruit as it is now. The Train Practice guides us to deal with distractors. In mindfulness, we do not deny distractors or run from them. We acknowledge them and let them pass. We use our breath as our focal point. The movement of our breath is our anchor. After the body scan, Eartha guides you through a brief body scan, using awareness of the breath as the anchor and allowing distracting thoughts to pass. The final practice helps us to use the strength of our calmness and compassion of our words to bring peace to the world. The final practice is the Loving Kindness practice. Get ready to change your world today with your words of loving kindness.

It is 1911 when Bill and Isobel Elgin scramble down from the Kalgoorlie Express with their family of six in tow to begin a new life in the wheatlands of Western Australia.
As they head to their farm in Bunburra to fulfill their dream of a better future, Isobel and her daughters lament over the dry, dusty, vermin-infested landscape that is vastly different from their former home in England. Still, they are determined to support the men in their family, no matter the personal sacrifices. But as they face one complex challenge after another, the entire Elgin family soon realizes that nothing in life is certain, especially when living in a land filled with brown snakes, questionable neighbors, and seemingly insurmountable obstacles that even shock the local clergy.
In this historical novel set from 1911 to the outbreak of the Second World War, an English family immigrates to a farm in Western Australia where they must endure many trials and tribulations. Get your copy of A Curlew Cried on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

Welcome to Healing From Within with host Sheryl Glick RMT medium and author of her newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not economic political or societal but often a deep disconnect from our inner soul life and wisdom. Today we are delighted to welcome Connie Huebner, author of Divine Mother Healing, is a leading spiritual luminary of these times. Connie not only receives Divine messages but teaches others to receive them as well.
As listeners of “Healing From Within”” have come to expect over the years my gifted and expansive guests and I share intimate stories and insights in order to remember we are spiritual beings having a physical life journey in order to refine our soul energy and gather experiences to take with us into other dimensions of life and creative love. Life in a physical world cannot be lived without duality : we must have both sides of the spectrum, good and bad male and female rich or poor black or white to set up ways to bring together and in harmony opposites and recognize the unity that comes from diversity.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Connie Huebner shares her journey to explain a profound yearning to communicate with Spirit with the Divine. In her search she learned that The Kingdom of Heaven is within you and through commitment, patience and self-investigation Divine qualities reveal themselves and we will learn about practical methods for both healing and awakening the Divine relationship. Connie shares a series of Healing Tools to heal yourself and loved ones and which can be effective if the words are just read out loud or repeated silently.
When Connie is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown her the interests and life path she might follow in adulthood she immediately tells how she longed for a black horse of her own but never expected to actually possess one.
Connie goes on to tell us she was not even slightly spiritual and loved exploring the country side where she lived and dreamed of having one impossible thing in her life..a black horse. Since that wasn’t happening, she rode her bicycle imaging she was galloping across the fields. Unexpectedly her parents told her she could select a horse. It was as if all her prayers and wishes were answered. What Connie thought was impossible became real and she learned the impossible was within reach. Wishes can come true.
Next Connie tells us of an experience much later that began her serious awakening and transformation process. Connie tells us her spiritual journey began when she was 21 lying on the grass gazing up at the sky on a gorgeous autumn day thinking about all the stars and constellations that were hidden in the blue. Suddenly without warning she expanded through the sky and clouds past the planets and galaxies into empty space, where she experienced her Oneness with all of it. It was a profound Unity Experience that has never left her. Over time a profound yearning developed and she wanted to talk to God. Her spiritual practice intensified and Divine Light appeared and the nurturing quality of Divine Love. She discovered that these qualities were being given to her to heal the personal issues that were blocking her ability to receive communication from the Divine Presence.
Sheryl says there are many paths to spiritual transformation meditation healing practices Eastern philosophies that awaken a long held desire that eventually from coincidences synchronicity dreams which are messages from Spirit we all receive, help an awakening and need to learn more about who we are? Where we come from and how to use our intuition or connection to higher consciousness to manifest the best lives for ourselves. However, many people think it is an instantaneous happening but in reality one needs a spiritual practice perhaps mentor or...
If “fine” and “okay” are the way you describe your marriage, you may be settling for less than what’s possible. You definitely are settling for less than you deserve. While your relationship may not always be filled with hot passion and fireworks, it shouldn’t feel bland or “just enough” either. Fear and ignorance (in the true meaning of the word) are at the root of why most marriages slog along. Knowing what you want, and how to make that happen, is key to a fulfilling relationship. Therapist, author, and college instructor Terry Gaspard reveals how you can stop settling for less in your marriage.
If you want to have an epic marriage, Lesli can help. Share the show with those you care about on Facebook and Instagram.

Dr. R. Craig Hogan is the president of both SeekReality.com and the Afterlife Research and Education Institute, Inc. (AREI). He and Roberta have each spent decades doing afterlife research using primary materials, and in this, his 42nd Seek Reality appearance, they enjoy sharing with you in detail many of the joys of what the afterlife is like. As Roberta says, one of the best things about doing true afterlife research (as opposed to studying NDEs) is that it is all entirely and amazingly consistent, and every researcher comes to all the same conclusions!

Let's explore how Mindfulness can help you get quality sleep. Without sleep, the body does not have a chance to rejuvenate, repair, and heal. Stress and anxiety can prevent us from getting a healthy sleep. According to Mindfulness.org, 30% of Americans are sleep-deprived. With regular sleep deprivation, our attention, mood concentration, and memory can suffer over time, and sleeplessness can contribute to unwanted weight gain. According to Dr. Matthew Walker of the University of California in Berkeley, join Eartha today as she shares tips on using mindful nurse skills to get a good night's sleep.

While emotional intelligence is about knowing your own reactions so that you can better deal with situations, we are currently facing several events so tragic that friends we may know are experiencing trauma (e.g., Fires in Maui and floods in Vermont). In this session I discuss the difference between how we can support friends in trauma and the more normal emotional responses we have on a daily basis. Using Maui as an example I talk about how that type of support can look and contrast that with what I present in the book (Learning To Feel) as our. regular, run-of-the-mill emotional reactions.

Through the years, as a leader both in business and corporate, years ago, one thing rang true for me and my teams. Accountability is vital to creating a thriving, revenue-driven culture where the client, the organization, and the salesperson win. I call it the hat trick of sales success or the win/win/win formula.
So where do we start to foster this growth and accountability mindset? The answer is creating Sales hiring processes and best practices to promote elite teams.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher, medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our true inner soul wisdom and universal source. We are delighted today to welcome Michael Ellegion author of Prepare for Their Landing sharing his experiences with extraterrestrials over the course of his life and Intergalactic Match.com the transformational journey he experienced when he was first reunited with Celeste his own Divine Other-Half, a higher dimensional Immortal Intergalactic Goddess dedicated to restoring Heaven on Earth and the Golden Age.
Michael as listeners of Healing From Within have come to expect over the years Sheryl and her open minded guests share intimate and insightful stories that show us that there is much more to know and feel beyond our senses so we can begin to understand our dual nature as both phyiscal and energetic soul beings who are guided by those in Spirit to learn more about love compassion and to heal any misconceptions about what life is really about so we can begin to use our spiritual gifts to improve this planet and others beyond.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Michael Ellegion having both a UFO researcher as well as “Experiencer/contactee from his first book Prepare for the Landings: Are You Ready?” where he documented and exposed how the vast majority of beings visiting Earth are divinely intervening to help Earth’ s humanity. We will discuss NASA STAR PEOPLE their characteristics and how and when large groups were born. Michael discusses much about the unseen world of benevolent human appearing ET’s which have been the majority of beings visiting earth rather than focusing on the negative greys and reptilian beings and the abductions of humans.
When Sheryl asks Michael to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to him or others around him the lifestyle interest and work they might pursue as an adult for it seems we are born with a life plan and destiny which keeps unfolding as we walk through this dream like life Michael writes, “At a young age Michael started to experience “altered states of consciousness” and very intense vivid dreams. His father a professional hypnotist who had studied Edgar Cayce’s life and his famous “life readings” discovered in his research that the so-called Sleeping Prophet was actually activated with the use of hypnosis. Michael’s father realized that he could train his son in this same way that Cayce could induce his altered state to do his famous life readings. By fifteen Michel was doing very similar karmic readings.
Michael tells us that few experiences have stuck in his mind as clearly as that which took place during the summer of 1959 when he was six years of age and slipped over a railing falling into the ocean. Michael writes, “ Just as the ocean came crashing up to engulf me I found myself instantaneously in a different environment. I was physically back in, what to me had been my real home environment an environment that I consciously remembered since birth on this third dimensional planet. I have recalled being aboard these incredibly beautiful and magnificent Lightships often sighted as UFO’s here on earth which are also known as “Merkabahs” with the Confederation of Higher Universal Life. It took a moment for my eyes to fully adjust to the beautiful soft glowing light that was emanating from the actual walls of the ship itself. Then I really saw very human-appearing beautiful beings standing around me….To be truthful most humans would have called this an alien environment.. I have attempted to find suitable earthly terms to describe this joyous celebration and wonderful love that I was experiencing aboard this Lightship...
This session begins with a story about a bird that may have thought the flowers in the garage were better than the trees outside. Eartha uses the simple story to help discover limitations of impact bias. Setting expectations that are lofty sometimes result in a reaction of not being satisfied or missing the beauty of the mindful now. Research shows that our bodies adapt to high expectations, resulting in hedonic adaptation. During this episode, join Eartha on a walk, as she shares mindful perspectives and discover how to appreciate the small stuff in life.

Paul Brodrick found himself reassessing his life after having a bowel tumor removed five years ago. In this book, Cancer Mentality, he shares what it was like to be diagnosed with cancer, how he dealt with the fear of defective genes, and how he learned to choose his own prognosis for a cancer-free future.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
We all want to live a long and happy life don’t we? Of course we do. The problem is we are often driven by outside forces, the day-to-day influences on our life that seem to take precedence over our health — that is until it fails. Our guest today is Paul Broderick. Recently he had a complete change in his perspective on what it means to be healthy and how to live a good, long life.
Paul Broderick (Tumor) I was living what I thought was a very healthy lifestyle; Very active, eating well, doing all the right things even thinking positively actually. and then when something hit the fan and I had a diagnosis of a three inch tumor and I needed to be operated upon quite soon after I just had to figure out what the heck was going on.
Paul Broderick is the inquisitive type and it was his curiosity that inspired the writing of a book called “Cancer Mentality”. He took copious notes during his diagnosis and ordeal and is now sharing what he learned in “Cancer Mentality. The Cure for Cancer is in the Mind – Heal your Attitudes and Beliefs” it’s a title that requires a bit more explanation.
Paul Broderick - What we’re talking about now is placebo-nocebo. placebo basically says it can happen if we believe it and belief doesn’t mean an active belief even a subconscious belief nocebo is telling us that bad is going to happen and that's what doctors are doing with such a prognosis. We can believe a diagnosis but don’t need to choose or believe the prognosis and that’s the essence of my book is that I discovered how to choose my prognosis and anybody can do that.
The power of positive thinking…you’ve heard that before but there’s a lot more to it than that. The mind is far more powerful and influential than we know. Now we are not saying that you can cure cancer with positivity but giving into it is not going to help either. Just know that anything is possible and you need to believe it. With that in mind take a hard look at your life — that’s what Paul did.
Paul Broderick - I realized by slowing my life down that I had actually been just paying lip service to all these wonderful metaphysical, new-age, spiritual ideas and in fact it's a lovely notion that we create our own reality but in essence I wasn’t doing that work. I wasn’t meditating. I wasn’t quieting my mind. I wasn’t finding peace in my life. I was striving, working, chasing and as I write in great depth in the book I realize that I was living in fear. Everybody’s touched by cancer, you know, heart-attacks all sorts of dramatic illness. We all know somebody and so I realized that I had to stop, rethink, reinvent myself and actually start doing this work and I found it to be an enormous pleasure. Not hard work at all, it was an enormous pleasure.
Stop, rethink, reinvent and stay positive. If you stop listening now and do just that you’ll probably be on the right track but don’t stop listening yet because there’s more. Paul explains what drove him to this kind of thinking.
Paul Broderick - As I healed, as my body repaired from the surgery. I was obviously off work. I took time out and I really was searching for wholesome answers to this because I asked the medical industry. I asked the surgeon. I asked the oncologist. I asked the dietician and they had nothing for lifestyle change for me. They had nothing to help me prevent this and no disrespect to the medical industry. Their trauma treatment is fantastic. I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them. But, so many great teachers out there are explaining how thoughts and emotions are now proven by science to become interactive with our physiology in a go...

During this episode, Eartha will guide you in two mindfulness practices that help us step back from our thoughts. We all have many thoughts. Some people may believe everything they think about themselves, even if their thoughts lead to unhealthy self-esteem. The two practices aim to help build distance between ourselves and our thoughts. We are not ignoring our thoughts or hiding from them. We put space between ourselves and our thoughts to appreciate the now without judgment. You will notice that the second practice has a style for younger practitioners. Everyone will gain something from both mindfulness imagery activities.

Good communication alone will not ensure a Happily Ever After marriage but, without it, you don’t stand a chance. One of the biggest challenges couples face is learning how to communicate effectively. As with most things, it’s easier to look at where the other person is falling short than to look in the mirror and figure out our part. You’ve been talking since you were little and, on the surface, it seems a pretty easy system. You talk, the other person listens and vice versa. So why do so many couples struggle? Kirk Honda, professor of couples and family therapy at Antioch University and the host of Psychology in Seattle, explains the common pitfalls of communication.
If communication is an issue in your marriage, don’t let it continue. Contact Lesli to learn how you can turn it around so you can have the marriage you desire.

In this episode, the Crone & Sage start talking about the idea of Awareness of both the mundane & the magickal and how we all have different perceptions that affect us. We then introduce our new segment Practices of The Path where we will be talking about all sorts of Witchy things we use and do. Finally, today's Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint is all about how we use gestures all the time and that awareness makes the difference which was yet another nice synchronicity as the Sage recorded it before he knew this week's topic.

Check Out These Highlights:
After finding this quote for today's show, I began to reflect on what small efforts have created success in my business and life. Whether intentional or intuitive, when I started my business and sat down without any idea of how I would teach others how to be successful in sales and, more importantly, by selling through love, care, and respect.
Do you know what I discovered? All the small habits I had developed over my career in corporate when combined every day, added to a logical path to success.
That was a very cool revelation, and my 7-Step Sales process was defined, and my #1 International book was born many years later. Keeping things simple works, and today my guest and I will discuss sales success to help you choose your next simple step forward.

For six months now I have put my podcasts out there. It has been a meaningful journey for me and I do hope my meanderings have inspired others. Inspired others to think outside of the box.
Today I will finish the quick review of this series and then end with some closing thoughts. I will summarize what I find the bottom line to be.
Most of all I want to thank those who have listened. I wish you all the best as you each continue on your own journeys. Just remember: Every day is a new beginning.
Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher, Medium and author of a trilogy the newest edition A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shows us our challenges are not economic political or societal but often a deep disconnect from our inner soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Walter Zajac author of They Came Beyond Déjà vu which is a true story of a youngster who endured as an abandoned, orphaned, beaten and sexually abused child in post-war Germany and later in America who was able to develop amazing healing and intuitive powers.
We thank Walter for sharing the miracle of surviving horrendous conditions in war torn Germany which may have been part of his awakening to the incredible gifts as a psychic.
As listeners of Healing From Within well know Sheryl and her sensitive empathic evolved guests share stories and insights into the metaphysical world of dimensions of life after life, affecting us all with greater ways to evolve and know ourselves, and the universe as the expansive entity it is now and forever. Understanding life is more than this three dimensional physical life is the key to opening one’s potential to create or manifest the best life possible. So life is eternal and when one embraces that truth, fear and limitation which restrict true happiness and well being fall away.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Walter Zajac an acclaimed psychic medium on the West Coast also a NLP Coach and Reiki Master sharing enlightened readings and healing sessions continues to receive dreams and psychic visions that come true and shares the story of deeply realistic dreams about two young women also suffering their own traumas that six year old Walter dreamt when in an orphanage in Germany. Only later when he met them as a 44 year old adult, did he discover the dreams he had of them had actually happened. But he experienced them YEARS BEFORE they were born. Walter will share extraordinary insights into the world of Intuition Dreams and Higher Consciousness.
Walter, when asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person, place or event that might have signaled to them or others the life path or destiny they would pursue as adults clearly remembers that terrifying train ride to the orphanage in Germany just after the war and being told he would never return home. Immediately threatened by a bully he thought he would never survive and life was hard for this 6 year old boy. Walter later learns his mother was ill and died shortly after he was sent to the orphanage. His father was a menacing man and unable to care for him and their city was ravaged from the war and it was hard to survive.
Walter tells us his novel has a three part message. The first part of the message is to inspire people to overcome abuse and abandonment in their own lives, The second part of the message is to inspire them to really love themselves. The third part of the message is to show that most people experience at least some psychic events like déjà vu, dreams coming true, ESP or mediumship abilities. Knowing this is important to the reader because it means we are spiritual beings having a physical life and interconnected to everyone both here and in spirit
In one of the first scenes in the book Walter describes half his city still being empty ruins and piles of rubble from American and British bombers even 11 years after WW11 ended. Of course it was true and Walter writes describing the ruins long after the war had ended, “ After the bus lumbered the short distance from Hirschberg into Mannheim, they saw the familiar ruins of bombed-out buildings block after block. Most of this part of the city looked this way. Some of the buildings were completely demolished, flattened, where only a huge heap of rubble indicated a building once stood there. Often there were only two adjoining jagged grey walls still standing.
The recent aggressive actions against everyday Americans who oppose the radical agenda proposed by then POTUS Obama to radically transform America, has reached a critical mass in the public opinion. The weaponization of our top law enforcement agencies to suppress the free speech and right to peaceably assemble to petition of grievances to our federal government is troubling at best. Fortunately we have laws on the books to prosecute those who violate our civil rights, but the DOJ (Defenders of Joe) and the FBI (Friends of Biden Inc) refuse to prosecute offenders in their own ranks. We must therefore exercise our duty as Americans to vote against the politicians who allowed this debacle to develop. The enemy within points directly to operatives in the democrat party. Therefore our response must be to defeat the democrats at the ballot box. We can and should boycott all democrats on election days to demonstrate that the power of our United States of America lies in the hands of "We the People" once again.

A teenager fights for his life in the jungles of Vietnam after getting shot in the mouth. Tom Wilson was saved. He became a minister and never lost his sense of humor about the tragedy he suffered. This is his story….
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Being a human is hard. We are faced with choices on a daily basis and it’s those choices that define us; both individually and collectively. Yes, life can be hard. Sometimes we make the right call and things work out great…and other times not so much. When we make bad decisions we have to deal with them and that builds character. To quote Mark Twain “Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions”.
So what happens when bad things happen to you and it wasn’t your decision? It can be hard to keep a sense of humor, that's for sure. Tom Wilson was drafted into the Vietnam War. The U.S. has not had a draft since 1973 but back then things were different. You could be an eighteen year old kid with an M-16 on your back on patrol in a Vietnamese jungle.
Tom Wilson - just turned eighteen years old when I went to Vietnam and in fact one of my nicknames there was “the kid” because I was so young.
Tom was an infantryman, a job that on paper means to capture, destroy, and deter enemy forces. As the radio guy, he walked in front of the other men. So there he was, weighing in at a whopping 138 pounds, carrying a 45 pound radio on his back, a .45-caliber pistol, an M-16 and plenty of hand-grenades, M-16 clips, smoke grenades, and other stuff.
Tom Wilson - I was a tank driver and that’s what I was trained for but they needed a guy so I ended up being an infantryman and then they for some reason looked at me and said that um, you’re going to carry the radio. I had no clue what that meant and I found out later on that it was about a forty-five pound thing you put on your back and then found out later on that that’s one of the most dangerous jobs to have because that’s what they shoot at first. They see an antenna sticking up.
And so that’s exactly what happened. In his new book, “Shot in the Mouth and Still Preaching” Tom recounts his full experience.
Tom Wilson - We didn’t realize that we were going into a horseshoe trap. This was February 14th, Valentines Day. We lost them. We stopped. I leaned my radio up against tree which I usually do because it’s heavy and I heard a zing-zing going by me and I didn’t fall I just turned around and looked and one of the rounds hit the ground, bounced up, went into my jaw and lodged into my cheekbone and I knee dup longs a percent of my jaw and nine teeth. I never passed out but I heard people all around me yelling for medic and I didn’t know who was hit and I kind of rubbed my cheek and my chin and I saw the blood and I said aw man it must be me and so I started yelling and of course when I yelled I loosened the bullet and the bullet came out. My teeth and all that stuff came out and I had the bullet in my hand for a while but then my medic came and wrapped my head up.
The area was so hot that he couldn’t get airlifted out until the next morning. Fortunately he lived to tell the story. So what got him through the ordeal? Have that expression “well….if you can’t take a joke”.
Tom Wilson - Yea my sense of humor, I still have it. I’m so positive. I enjoy life and I don’t let anything get me down.
Tom is no stranger to adversity. He says “…your attitude makes the biggest difference during tough…” and he should know. Being shot in Vietnam wasn’t the only thing he had to overcome.
Tom Wilson - Just in the last 8,9,10 months I had prostate cancer. Went through radiation and three months after that I had a heart attack and a couple of stents in my one artery it was ninety-nine percent blocked and I had little small one that was about thirty percent but yea, I read a small book a long time ago and it was just titled Happiness is a Choice and it’s true.
I’m sure you’ve heard that marriage takes hard work. I completely disagree. Yes, it takes effort but that’s not the same thing. Anything worth doing requires some active behavior on your part. And you want your efforts to be in the right direction to bring about positive results. A lot of the “work” people put into their relationships does the opposite. Speaker, author, coach, and true Renaissance man James Mapes reveals four strategies you can implement to improve your relationship.
If your marriage is more challenging than you want it to be, Lesli can help. Please share this helpful episcode on Facebook and Instagram.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Carrie Wilkerson
“The longer you’re not taking action, the more money you’re losing.”

What hit me with this quote is that action is good if we take the correct action. For example, I always see this where business owners do not pay themselves. As if the scraps of money left over should be enough.
So how do we change this mindset of getting what’s left over to paying ourselves first so we can thrive inside and outside our businesses?

Host Daniel chats with his co-host and author parents Darrell R. Troupe Sr. and Sandra Jo Troupe about how they encourage each other to write. They also discuss their respective challenges when starting out as young writer. The trio also give advice and encouragement to their dear listeners and readers as the close out the season.
We have begun what we celebrate as the Times of Loafmas which for us runs from early August until early November. Many others call it Lughnasadh or First Harvest but whatever you call it Happy Sabbat! We associate this season with the Element of Air which is about new knowledge and perspectives. We evaluate our personal spiritual beliefs during this season to ensure that what we practice agrees with what we think to gain the most from them.
Welcome to Healing from Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher, author of a trilogy with the newest edition A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from spirit that show us our physical life challenges are not merely economic political or societal but often a disconnect from our soul guided inner essence. Today I am delighted to welcome Bernard Beitman M.D. author of Meaningful Coincidences who like Carl Jung, the father of spiritual psychology has systematized the study of coincidence
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her accomplished guests share intimate, amusing, prophetic stories that open the mind and heart to the true nature of life in its duality of physical and spiritual aspects, for in knowing the complete nature of Self, we learn to create or manifest the best quality of life both here and beyond. However, one discovers they are more than their physical body is the real gift that is offered to those souls who chose to have a challenging physical life.
In today’s episode of Healing from Within Bernard Beitman M.D. graduate of Yale Medical School who did his psychiatric residency at Stanford University tells us having both an academic mind and a spiritual soul heart he merges the best of all worlds to explore the human condition, healing, and the pursuit of happiness most prominently interested in the anatomy of a coincidence and defines coincidence types through their fundamental constituents -external events and physical events. Through meaningful coincidences emphasizes that synchronicity and serendipity though mostly positive also have their shadow side.

Dr. Beitman and Sheryl share coincidences as they are a always present event in their lives. Sheryl tells Bernard her first book Life Is No Coincidence The Life and Afterlife Connection was an awakening process that allowed her to shed many former beliefs to understand life as a duality and how coincidences or messages from spirit guided her to study Reiki Energy healing, develop a practice as a medium and intuitive healer and helped others begin to see the value of seeing life not only through the senses but through an intuitive connection to Universal source. Bernard Beitman M.D. is like a Vitruvian Man merging the best of western medicine in alignment to the history and spirituality of humanity.
When Bernard is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to him or those around them what his life path or destiny might be in adulthood Dr. Bernard writes, “Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a psychiatrist. I am paid to distinguish between reality and crazy. I walk that line in my life and in this book. A meaningful coincidence is the coming together of two or more events in a surprising, unexpected, and improbable way that seems to have significance to the person experiencing it, either at the moment, or in retrospect. Coincidences have been a regular companion throughout my life beginning at age nine when my dog got lost, and I got lost. Then we found each other. Coincidences were deeply solidified in my consciousness when, at age thirty-one, I found myself uncontrollably choking while, three thousand miles away, my father was choking on his own blood and dying. The experiences of meaningful coincidences have expanded my awareness of my mind and heart, of the heart and mind of others, and of the natural world around us. Coincidences have contributed to my psychological and spiritual development, guided me in my academic career, and helped grow my relationships. They have jolted me out of the conventional views of how the world works. They have made me stop, think, and wonder. In high school,
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Mark Hunter
“It’s not about having the right opportunities. It’s about handling the opportunities right. “
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/cOe_5qmBvbk
Check Out These Highlights:
Over the past four decades, opportunities have been everywhere, and how I have responded to those opportunities resulted in success and yes even failures. It’s all a learning experience.
My guest today provided me with some stats that I feel compelled to share:
“55% of sellers are lacking basic sales skills. And in 2023, when budgets are tighter, you can’t afford to have C-Players on your team. And while most would try to find new talent to replace their lower performers, quality talent is difficult to find today. That’s why revenue leaders have started to focus on developing their teams to turn their C-Players into B-Players, and their B-Players into A-Players.”
I find these statistics mind-blowing. I see this all the time. We fire salespeople, hire new folks, and then fire, hire again and again.
Crazy right?

In this session I get to talk with transformational coach and healer, Linda Manning, where we explore the relationship between emotional health and personal health. Often our failure or refusal to embrace our own negative emotions not only blocks us from understanding what is behind them, but it frequently is stored in our bodies as negative and painful blockages. Emotional maturity begins with accepting our feelings in a way that we are then able to deal effectively with them.

The Author
Paul Jones was born in Pine Bluff Jefferson County, a small town in the US state of Arkansas that lies to the south of the state capital Little Rock. He was raised by his mother who was a pivotal figure in his life. Today he lives with his wife Candice to whom he has been married to for sixteen years. He has two sons from a previous marriage, Justin and Jordan who as a devoted father mean so much to him, not to mention Brentley his Goddaughter who he dotes on to say the least.
At the age of fifteen Paul left home having completed high school, he served in the US Armed Forces as well as serving as a law enforcement officer and Prison officer. At the age of fifty-eight sees himself as retired with a new full-time passion in his life, writing. If you ask his friends how they see him in relation to cars they’d describe him as a ‘car nurd.’
Paul is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc, which is the first intercollegiate African American fraternity. It was initially a literary and social studies club organised in the 1905-1906 school year of Cornell University. Today its aims are, “Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All Mankind,” aspects that underpin the core of what Paul Jones as a man upholds and believes steadfastly in. Paul has a bachelor’s degree from American Intercontinental University in Criminal Justice, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude (with the highest distinction).
In addition to the books, we are going to chat about in this podcast Paul has written a further two books, Standing Alone and A flavour of Stories. If you want to know more about those books, then you can listen to the previous interview we did in March last year on Webtalkradio.
Paul has received numerous awards throughout his life and most recently the Trafford Publishing Gold Seal of Literary Excellence.
For the purpose of this podcast, we’re going to review the following books.

Waking Up Jake’s Story Part 1
This is the story of Jake a man who most of us can identify with. For all of us our life story starts with our birth but the journey we take is different for everyone as we face our dreams, aspirations, issues and temptations. All these factors that contribute to who we are for some are based on a deep spiritual background, for others not so. Whether you have a faith or not you’ll still be able to follow, associate with Jake’s journey as he approaches love, marriage and many more trials that we all must face and somehow overcome be that with or without a faith under-pinning our lives.
For me the book is a written play of Jake’s life told through various parts, acts and scenes. Paul has very cleverly partitioned Jake’s junctures of life into those acts or segments which some of you might want to express as chapters. There are eleven sub-headings to this story, for me, ‘Jake the man,’ ‘Fulfilling his Purpose,’ and ‘Keeping his Promises,’ stuck out the most, but don’t let me cloud your judgement here, have a look for yourself and formulate your own opinions.

Waking Up Jake’s Story Part 2
This book as you can figure out is a continuation of Jake’s roller-coaster life, it’s set out in the same fashion as the first book with new storylines and characters to keeping you guessing as to how Jake’s life is going to pan out. The big difference here is that the book is not segmented...

The Author
Born in the 1940’s, and married for fifty-nine years with four children, John Leslie Wheeler has certainly led a full and varied life. The Gold Coast of Australia where he lives is not only a beautiful part of Australia but the world as well. Throughout his life in the legal profession as a solicitor he witnessed a variety of legal cases both corporate and personal and on reflection he would often recount that behind each outcome there was a person or persons facing a challenging period within their life or lives. Outside of the legal profession John vehemently worked on a voluntary basis to support couples going through marital issues, sometimes the outcome would be positive but equally at times the marital woes where unreconcilable. In each scenarios John would reflect on what was right for all parties concerned and that’s probably why the last Chapter in his book is headed up ‘Love, Marriage and Family.’
John has been a follower of the Catholic faith for a considerable time, having said that it would be fair to say that he doesn’t always take the literal translation of what the church deliberates on. Right from childhood he has conducted his own research to what he believes is the true meaning within the biblical scriptures and is not averse to holding the church to account for its version of biblical contents despite finding himself at times seated in the unpopular pews. This book of how to pray is really a life’s work put into twenty-seven chapters in one thought-provoking book.

https://youtu.be/jwC_ezH9aOc
The Book
This book has been written for those that are searching for a better more inconsequential mastery to understanding how to pray to develop a closer relationship with God and his message to man. The author puts it in a simpler format, ‘the book is a prayer journey from sinner to saint for anyone who is on a journey.’
For me the book has many facets, ideologies for the reader to contemplate all around the art of insightful prayer to enrich a person’s daily life no matter what challenges, temptations or Joys lie in their path that day. The biblical references which can be found throughout the book are not directly quoted, they are numbered within the text and in the end notes towards the end of the book you’ll see those numbers set against a scriptural passage so it’s it to you the reader to go look them up and for me form your own opinions. I think you’ll find them poignant and enhance what the author is saying.
There are twenty-seven chapters teeming with interesting concepts and thoughts; for the purpose of this podcast, we’ll focus on eight chapters to give you the reader a flavour of what John Wheeler is talking about, those chapters are listed below, if you want to know what’s in the other nineteen chapters well! You’ll have to get a copy of the book.
These are the chapters for me that stood out above all others, watch the video or listen to the audio version to see what was said.
Prayer is a journey.
When and where should we pray.
Listening to God in prayer.
Trusting God.
Prayer for our enemies.
Prayer for righting injustices in the environment.
Working in the garden.
The life journey

Today we spotlight a novel lovingly published by the author's children as a tribute to their mother. “A Curlew Cried” was written by Winifred Millicent Hardie {deceased} over forty years ago and recently published by her daughters Helen Elizabeth Payne and Janet Anne Goldman. It is 1911 when Bill and Isobel Elgin scramble down from the Kalgoorlie Express with their family of six in tow to begin a new life in the wheatlands of Western Australia.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today we are going to go back in time. It was just over forty years ago when Winifred Millicent Hardie sat down to write the story of Isobel and Bill Elgin and their children emigrating from England for a new life on a farm in the remote Wheatbelt of Western Australia.
In Bill and Isobel’s world it’s 1911. A tough time for Australian farmers who were pushed to their limits by the dry, dusty, vermin-infested landscape. Bill and Isobel are stepping off the Kalgoorlie Express, Perth station, with their family of six and dreams of a new life in an unforeseen future.
Helen Payne - None of them knew anything about farming basically, and they came out from England and got this farm in the middle of nowhere and they were the pioneers of that time. They struggled through droughts and floods and the first world war.
That is Helen Payne who along with her sister Janet Goldman recently published the manuscript of this part-true/part-fictional story — titled “A Curlew Cried ''. It was a story they found among the items in their mothers estate.
Helen Payne - It was wonderful. From the minute I sort of looked at and started to read it I was fascinated and of course all the pages had sort of been mixed up so I had to go through all the pages and put them back together again and I couldn’t put it down. I was absolutely fascinated.
Doesn’t that put a smile on your face? It is one of my favorite types of finds stumbling across something long forgotten. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from the movie “Field of Dreams” “…The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces…” it’s wonderfully dizzying.
Helen Payne - When she had time she’d open it up and write this, write whatever she was writing, and as a fourteen your old I wasn’t the slightest bit interested in what she was doing and when she was finished she asked my sister to type it. My sister was a typist and I can remember Janet sitting there with this old fashioned typewriter typing this manuscript and I don’t know what happened. It got finished and then nothing happened with it and they shoved it in a bag and when mom got ill she came to live with us and of course everything came with her and I just must have put it in the filing cabinet and forgot about it. It was only through sheer luck that I found it and we got it published.
So the lives of the Elgin family have been dusted off and sent out into the world for us to enjoy. It was a tough life for these pioneers, farming rugged terrain in a turbulent time. Still, they persevered as the determined family they were, willing to do whatever it took no matter what the personal sacrifices may have been.
Helen Payne - They came to Perth, which is our capital and from there got on a train and got to this farm and they had it for a long, long time and made the best out of a bad situation but at least they could own that property and the girls in the family supported the men and worked as hard as the men.
The will to go the distance was so powerful back then. The faith, the commitment and the sense of family unity was so powerful. If you like this kind of story I think you’ll enjoy “A Curlew Cried '' by Winifred Millicent Hardie and unless you’re an Ornithologist you have to be curious about what in the world a Curlew is…
Helen Payne - A Curlew is a bird that used to be in the wheat fields.
Yes, there are a couple of different types of Curley.

Check Out These Highlights:
Reflecting on my career and business for today's show topic, I realize how curious I have become about my relationship with money. I can see all the ups and downs financially due to things that have been in my control and beyond my control.
The only control I have is being aware of my current situation, having a plan to support my future objectives and goals, and knowing when to change my plan or my price structure.
So I ask you – what’s your relationship with money? Are you thinking, “Connie, I love money; spending my money, and money is great!” Or are you thinking, “Hum, that’s an excellent question? I feel like I never have enough money, and no matter how hard I work, money seems hard for me to hold onto.”
No matter the side you fall on with my questions, guess what? We all have money issues. So how do we dig in and change our relationship with money? I’m glad you asked!

For six months now I have put my podcasts out there. It has been a meaningful journey for me and I do hope it has inspired others. Inspired others to think outside of the box, maybe to connect some dots they did not know existed. Well, that is just a bit lofty…. Moving right along. I now want to point out that there is a theme running throughout them all. In this podcast, I want to pull out those dots and attempt to show the connections.
In the end it really does not matter how I connect them. What is important is how you might ponder on some of them and reframe them to make them their own.
If your marriage isn’t all you want it to be, who is responsible? The truth? You both are. Every decision you each have made has brought you to this situation.

Carol and Mikey Morgan are with us today for the twenty-first time. Mikey is a genuine sixth-level Being who had become so concerned about the way things were going on earth that he took an extra voluntary lifetime in 1987 that ended in 2007, so he could answer our questions about death and the afterlife in the voice of a modern American 20-year-old. So this is not the usual mother-and-son situation! And for Mikey to have come back here voluntarily to do this for us was considered to be such a sacrifice that apparently it has raised his spiritual vibration tremendously, from near the bottom to near the top of the sixth level, which is the level just beneath the Source. Roberta has tested Mikey extensively, and she says he is precisely who he claims to be. If you have questions that you would like Mikey to answer, just send them to Roberta at info@robertagrimes.com. Mikey’s wonderful book is Flying High in Spirit – A Young Snowboarder’s Account of His Ride Through Heaven.
Katherine Competus, a Dr. of Clinical Social Work, and Assistant Professor at New York University joins Mary Lou Davidson to discuss the mental health aspects of what is known as Noah's Syndrome. There are three unique types of this syndrome:
Overwhelmed Caregiver
Rescuer/Savior
Exploiter
What happens to the person once discovered? How can we spot an animal hoarder in the making? What needs to be done to prevent animal hoarding.
Join us for this enlightening chat.
Transcript:
Mary Lou Davidson4:57 - 5:33
Hey, welcome to the rover. Reporter I'm Mary Lou Davidson, and today we're going to be talking about a complex issue dealing with humans and animals that we've all heard about in the news. It's called animal hoarding, and we're joined by Dr. Kathy Compatus. She is a doctor of clinical social work, and she's really dug into this issue. She's also an assistant professor at New York University. She's done tons of research, and she's going to help us unpack animal hoarding. Welcome, Kathy. Hi, thank you.
Kathy5:33 - 5:34
Thanks for joining.
Mary Lou Davidson5:34 - 6:06
Know this is such a complex issue and it's an awful situation for both humans and animals. There's a phrase that's bandied about I'm not sure if you coined it or not, but it's called the you know, it evokes sort of positive vibes because we all think of Noah trying to save all the species. But tell me about that. Sure, I would love to take credit, but I did not invent Noah syndrome.
Kathy6:07 - 7:15
Noah syndrome traditionally implies that there's more of a biological component to this condition. And yes, absolutely, we like to think of Noah as rescuing all these animals. But the reality of the story is that he passed a lot of animals into a small boat or a big boat, but still he packed a lot of animals. So the idea is that Noah's syndrome is a nicer way to describe animal hoarding, because I think there's such a negative connotation when we say animal hoarding and we neglect to remember that this is a serious mental health condition. It's a syndrome, it's an illness and it is something that we need to treat and respectfully rather than just reject and marginalize the people who suffer. Right.
Mary Lou Davidson7:15 - 7:24
And Noah's syndrome isn't really one size fits all hoarders. There are different types. Can you get into that with us?
Kathy7:24 - 11:40
Absolutely. So firstly, I just want to mention that animal hoarding is not just about having a large number of animals, really. There's no set number that people have agreed on, really. It is somebody who has a large number of animals, but that also lacks the insight to realize that they are unable to care for these animals. So somebody can have a large number of animals and care for them very well. A lot of rescue organizations do this. But when somebody has the situation that deteriorates into complete squalor, neglect, unsanitary living conditions, that's when a regular companion animal or farm animal, it could be any species, that's when it turns to hoarding as opposed to just rescuing. So there are a couple of types of hoarders. So the three main types of animal hoarders that we like to describe, one is the overwhelmed caregiver. So it is somebody who essentially has pets and they get a few more, a few more and it just gets out of their control. So sometimes these are people that may be caring for the animals very well, but then suffer from a serious physical illness such as cancer, where they might be undergoing chemotherapy or something like that, and they are no longer able to care for the animals. So, like I said, it starts off a quite normal situation and then deteriorates into this really awful squalor situation where the people suffer and the animals suffer because if they're unable to care for them, there's urine everywhere, species, very unsanitary living conditions. The next type that we like to describe is the rescue hoarder.
The book is autobiographical. It begins with the author as a 17 year old teenager walking in the jungles of Vietnam fighting for his life. The author is assigned to be the radio carrier and to walk point for his unit. The most dangerous job. He is shot in the mouth. Instead of being killed, he loses teeth and bone, which changes his speech causing him to stutter and have difficulty pronouncing some words. This is the story of a young man who chose to view this horrendous turn of fate into something positive. Tom uses his positive outlook on life and humor to reframe the incident. This is a book about hope and overcoming the worst moment in a life.
God called him into the ministry. Tom has been speaking before people for 40 years using his life experiences to point out that you have a choice. A person can choose how they view any major incident in their life.
Through-out the book you will hear Tom's sense of humor getting him through the many difficult times of his life. This book will make you laugh, cry, get mad, and experience many other emotions.
This is an encouraging book that will show you, with God's help, you truly can do anything you want, even with disabilities.
The author would like a reader to take away three things from the book:
1. A sense of humor and a positive attitude helps you get through tough times.
2. Hard times can make you or break you, it’s your choice.
3. With God’s help all things are possible.

In this book, he shares what it was like to be diagnosed with cancer, how he dealt with the fear of defective genes, and how he learned to choose his own prognosis for a cancer-free future.

•What role does stress play in overall health?•How can you look at wellness differently, to reclaim control of your health?•What are the pros and cons of chemotherapy?•Why is it so important to have a peaceful mind, to understand beliefs, to practice gratitude and have positive thoughts?
He also shares his firm belief that healing depends on the attitude you bring to whatever you’re experiencing. It’s absolutely critical to see that there is a mentality, an attitude behind everything we think and do, and that these attitudes can be changed.

Carl David is an author and the third generation of a four-generation family art business in Philadelphia. His journey was not an easy one. His new book, Bader Field, embodies the emotional story of a son's loving relationship with his father.
Guest Bio: Having lived through and survived the horrific experience of my brother's suicide when I was just 16, I am awakened to the real purpose in my life. I am on a mission to save lives....even one.
This is my way of paying forward by taking the darkest days of my life and helping those on that edge of desperation to see that they are loved that there is help for them and that they are not alone. I need to let those who have walked a similar devastating path know that life does go on and that life is for the living, that we do survive.

Most people lie, even the ones who say they value truth and honesty. Because anything that isn’t the truth is a lie. Not saying something is a lie of omission. White lies are still lies. Being completely honest doesn’t require being harsh. It does require courage. And your marriage will be the better for it. Author Javier Ortega-Araiza reveals three steps you can take to bring radical transparency to your relationships.
If you hold back your thoughts and feelings to preserve the peace or spare your partner’s feelings, Lesli can help with a more gently honest approach. Please share this important show with those you care about on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Moving from optimizing individual contributions to building high-performance teams is a logical and needed progression in building a culture of commitment. In this episode we discuss the difference between groups and teams and how to go about growing high-performing teams.
Welcome to Healing From Within I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of my newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits which offers stories and messages from Spirit which show us our challenges are not simply economic political or societal but a divide or disconnect from our inner soul wisdom. In today’s show I am delighted to welcome Claudia Gold M.D. a pediatrician and Ed Tronick, a psychologist, authors of The Power of Discord to help us recognize that though people think perfect harmony is the defining characteristic of healthy relationships the truth is human interactions are messy, complicated and confusing but are crucial to social and emotional development.
As listeners of Healing From Within have come to expect over the years Sheryl and her intuitive and insightful guests and I share an understanding of the challenges of a physical three dimensional life and also grow to appreciate the many spiritual tools and gifts we possess and learn to share in order to improve the human and divine condition through relating to challenges with full awareness of who we are why we chose a physical life and how to improve all relationships through awareness and higher consciousness. Life is both a physical and energetic force.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Dr. Claudai Gold and Dr. Tronick will share with listeners how the mind body and emotions from childhood affect our perceptions and behavior and working through the inevitable dissonance of human connection is the path to better relationships with romantic partners, family friends and colleagues.
When Claudia is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that might have signaled to her or others around her what lifestyle work and values she might pursue in adulthood she immediately tells us her mother possessed a positive outlook on life and was a child psychologist who practiced from home and Claudia saw it as important work and was inspired by her mother’s efforts. On the other hand her father who was a Holocaust Survivor was somewhat shut down and didn’t discuss problems so she feel her full range of emotional content was not allowed to expand or be expressed. Our parents do set up a course of behavior as we model many of their fears or behaviors.
Dr. Tronick’s work and the “Still Face” experiment has brought about a game changing shift in our understanding of human development. The experiment shows that our highly evolved sense of self makes us separate, yet our survival depends on connection. The authors go on to tell us how we can gain confidence in learning about one another’s desires and correct the mistakes and misunderstandings that arise.
The authors describe why they wrote this book and write,” How is it that some people enjoy a range of satisfying intimate social connections while others suffer from painful feelings of disconnect and loneliness? Why are some human beings sad, withdrawn and lacking in self-esteem whereas others are angry, unfocused and brittlely self-assertive and still others are happy, curious, affectionate and self-confident. How is our ability to feel a sense of belonging and attachment to other people linked with the way we develop our individual sense of self?” ‘The answers to these questions is why the authors wrote this book.
In answering these questions, the doctors became aware that pediatricians it seems get little education in the critical foundational role of relationships in growth and development. DW Winnicott turned psychoanalyst in post -World War 11 England discovered mothers were thought of mainly as providers of basic care feeding bathing and dressing and it was this way in western culture as well. Children often were separated from parents for long periods of time.
Winnicott was among the first to introduce a new way of thinking about child development. He expressed the term “true self” and described how parent’s won issues may cloud their...
Host Daniel, surrenders the show in a Super Fan takeover. Super fan and Ewings Publishing Agent Erine page takes us through the process of how Darrell and Sandra’s highly rated novel came to be published, What the differences are between types publishing companies and advises or dear listeners on how they too can become published authors.
The Crone, Elizabeth Chapman, recently published a novel called Home Place which is available on Amazon. As part of this story, there are appearances and stories of both Old & New Gods. While writing, someone suggested she write a short story about how the Gods came to be in the anonymous city which is the setting of the novel. So here is that story (tongue in cheek) for your enjoyment.
Eartha discussed concepts of mindfulness and holistic health in aging. She emphasized openness to the need for a non-harmful approach to aging, including critical thinking, vocabulary skills, and strategic development. During the early years, the focus of aging is highlighted on the importance of physical activity, social and professional networking, and stress management to maintain overall health and well-being. Aging is a normal process. Each moment we are all participating in the aging process- growing older. The focus on productivity, physical activity, and family growth is the spotlight in the younger year. In later years, some may notice a sense of emptiness (the “empty nest”) because the family unit and professional productivity have changed. Physical activity may also vary. During this episode, Eartha encourages the thought to include mindfulness practice in the early years so that a continuum of practice will be well established in later years. To begin building the mindfulness holistic link, Eartha dedicates the remainder of the session to exploring self-reflection, which gets in the way of positivity and positive self-talk. We can explore our biases and judgments first. Having biases and judgments can be positive or negative. How we manage our biases and judgment is what we will investigate.Eartha discussed the impact of biases and judgments on various aspects of life, including productivity, job opportunities, relationships, and healthcare. She emphasized the need to recognize and manage biases and judgments in a diverse society and appreciate all individuals' contributions regardless of their abilities, gender, or race. Eartha concluded the meeting with a loving-kindness practice to build mindfulness and promote peacefulness, happiness, and love.

Why do we ADHDers (which includes myself) toss one task aside and choose to do another? Why are some of us usually arriving late to meetings, dates, dinner at home? What we call Procrastination and Poor Time Management may actually have foundations in a different aspect of ADHD, Self-awareness. The strategies for changing those symptoms/habits is different than other proposed solutions when seen through the lens of Self-awareness.
My guest today is Jeff Copper, an ADHD Coach certified by both the International Coaching Federation and the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches. You can catch his programs on Attention Talk Radio and Attention Talk Video, as well as at www.digcoaching.com. Jeff founded his Dig Coaching Practice in 2007 to help clients with ADHD dig through the usual frames of reference for symptoms down to the foundational issues. When his clients have what Jeff terms the “Aha !” moment, they have gained a different perspective on the problem, which then enables them to approach it from a different angle.

In this session I talk with Dr Stacy Feiner who not only is a business coach but has done work with elite athletes. We discuss how much emotions play a role in the overall performance of the athlete, what their reactions were during the pandemic lockdown and the distinctions between "funk" and "slump". Stacy and I both found that with athletes we had to first find our unique role in that relationship to be effective - something that athletes were very quick to respond to.

There are many reasons why “Top 10” lists are popular. These reasons include: 1) They are quick and easy to read at a quick glance. 2) Someone else has done the work. 3) It can be fun to compare lists. 4) 10 is a nice round number. 5) They tell a lot about human nature. Including our own. And on it goes.
Off and on during this podcast series I have told bits and pieces about myself. This is another way to do that. Another way to share glimpses of who I am. One variation to the usual list – I will give a brief reason why each selection is on my list.
Hope you enjoy…..

It is essential that all people who claim American citizenship tounderstand their rights and to exercise their right to vote to assertthe powers provided to "We the People" to liberate the modernenslavement of millions by the federal plantation of freebies toperpetuate their permanent powers of governments.

John Wheelerwrote a book that he calls a prayer journey from sinner to saint for anyone who is on the journey. Isn’t that all of us?
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
What happens when a man with an analytical mind takes a spiritual journey? It can lead to some interesting results. Today we’re going to take a spiritual journey while debunking a few myths surrounding some of the most popular biblical stories.
We are all on our own Journey and we follow a path guided by our own internal compass and by our beliefs and experiences. Whatever your path, whatever you’re doing for personal growth, it’s what makes you unique. We bounce through life doing the best we can right? Try not to hurt anyone, be of service to others and be in the right place mentally when the tough times come — they always come.
Today I want you to meet John Wheeler. He's a pretty fascinating guy and he’s going to share his journey with us today. He wrote a book called “Prayer is a Journey” and while it is a spiritual one, he talks about it so matter-of-factly that you can’t help but be intrigued by it.
John Wheeler - It was like getting on Aladdin's Magic Carpet you know.
A magical ride that starts with a phone call of sorts and what do you do when the phone rings? Well….you answer it.
John Wheeler - I was told to by God. All that knowledge that I put in the book I acquired over years. I tell them about my journey, my journey of prayer. I’ve had some experiences with God helping with different things. I was ordered to do it. For myself I couldn’t care less.
I told you he was an interesting guy. He’s obviously an author but he’s also a Lawyer, a Marriage counselor and a modern day Mystic. He was also Foundation president of Big Brothers Big Sisters in Australia for fifteen years. He also knows a thing or two about physics.
John Wheeler - I was top of the class in physics so I like physics and when I saw this bit about after the flood God put a bow in the sky I thought to myself that’s nonsense. A rainbow is formed by light being refracted by droplets of water so rainbows have been around for years. Long before Noah and then I discovered one of God’s tricks or methods. I shouldn’t say tricks. He will say things that are patently silly to get a message across and there’s one of them.
So he’s not against religion when he says these things didn’t happen, he's just saying you need to think about them differently. They didn’t happen the way you were told but to know the difference you need to pray.
John Wheeler - Anyone that understands physics knows that rainbows have been around long before Noah. Secondly, there never was a flood. The flood refers to the path, the time in your life when your soul is cleansed and then you live in the art with all your family and that’s how we live a quiet life in the ark. The art was supposed to be made of timber; well timber loses its strength at 300 feet. There’s ben people in America that built an ark, cost them millions of dollars, they went out to sea, got into a storm, it fell to bits and they all died. They’re allegories. You have to spend a lot of time praying and you have to have a lot of inspiration, a lot of gifts to understand the allegories. How did the ark get across the ocean? It had to get up the Amazon river. It’s a really strong river, 300 miles, it had to get up 3000 miles, not possible. How did Noah understand two million creatures? Some say it was twenty million creatures but even two million it’s just not possible. How would he know two million creatures? Not possible. So it’s just not possible if you use your common sense you say it’s just not possible.
Some of that is controversial depending on your belief system but the big takeaway here is the stories are allegorical. Don’t dismiss them. Work to understand them so you can get the benefit from them. While we’re on the subject, let’s talk about Adam and Eve.

The Author
Keith Vincent is a retired accountant living in Arizona in U.S. He originated from the city of Cleveland in the state of Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie one of the five lakes that makes up what is known as, ‘The Great Lakes.’ Apart from Cleveland he’s lived in Massachusetts, New York, Japan, but it’s Arizona that he regards as his home territory, a place where he began pursuing his philosophical passions.
Quantum Physics and how it relates to the human condition has over the years simply fascinated him especially how two particles can be in two states at the same time – referring to ‘Matter’ in its various guises made up of tiny particles – not any other definition. For Keith he has concluded that mankind has a long way to go prior to advancing into what man thinks he is. Keith has drawn his conclusions here on the realities of economics, sociology, and political ideologies verse what man/people assume those conditions are.
Growing up with a supportive mother who encouraged his imaginary thoughts was in words extremely useful, for we all need people who believe in us. When you look at Keith’s life you begin to wonder just how much it was shaped, like most of us, by those around us and what we read while growing up. It’s fair to say we all have our favourite people, and authors, for Keith that was a Cherokee shaman, spiritual and general fiction namely written by Heinlein, Orwell, Ayn Rand, Karl Marx, Engels and Tsun Tsu. A real mix of genres and Philosophies, dare I say not your average reader.
In to this mix of what I see as a quizzical mindset, you add the world of accountancy, why this profession you may well ask; well for Keith it was a sense of being absolute, settled, but it brought him a sense of freedom that allowed him to contemplate a different side to life away from a scientific approach but yet close enough for someone who had an analytic mind buzzing around in their head to focus, digest and consider, and it is all these processes that forms the fundamental basis of Keith’s book, so let’s turn our attention to what lurks between the pages of this extraordinary book which I have to say made me stop and think at times.

The Book
This stunning highly imaginative story is about an updated version of a replicator. Now for those of you who were die-hard fans of Star Trek you would have seen and heard about the machine on board, it was initially there to synthesize meals on demand, but in later series much larger non-food items appeared. When you look up the meaning of replicator, you’ll get a text that will say- a replicator (evolution unit), the theoretical basic unit of evolution in the gene-centred view of evolution. Replicator(self-replication) a component that facilitates self-replication. DNA replication, the process of producing two identical copies from one original DNA molecule.
In this book Keith Vincent has uplifted this ideology and given the task of developing a replicator, which in the book is referred to as a STrelpicator to Peter Harris a young and upcoming nerdy physicist with big inventory concepts. After an arduous journey the STreplicator is ready for the public domain, its capabilities are far reaching and not everybody including the US government and large corporations are ready for this revolutionary machine.
Peter Harris’ STreplicator is a machine that creates items for mankind’s survival by using sub-atomic particles. The machine is highly environmentally efficient so much, so it appears to be a miracle of modern science. The STrepicator is capable of feeding and clothin...
As the grandson of a Butcher, Chef and Southern Gentleman Matt Moore's passion for meat is literally in his bones. As the author of the acclaimed A Southern Gentleman's Kitchen, South's Best Butts and Serial Griller , Chef Moore shares his rich legacy of recipes and methods for both 'low and slow' or 'fast and hot' cooking .
On a recent Kitchen Chat, Chef Moore shares his latest book , Butcher on the Block and celebrates the local Butcher as a culinary hero with stories, coveted family recipes, and expert tips from the people behind the counter who sell meats, poultry, fish, vegetables, and trimmings all around the globe.
We always look forward to our visits with Chef Matt Moore on Kitchen Chat and his reminder that shopping should create community, and "knowing the butcher builds bonds of trust" that reward us at dinner time.
Here is a delicious recipe from Butcher on the Block for you to enjoy by Cara Mangini, the Vegetable Butcher, a friend of Kitchen Chat. Recipe is reprinted with permission from Butcher on the Block by Matt Moore (Harvest, an imprint of HarperCollins Publisher, May 2023).
Zucchini-Herb Fritters and Carrot-Pine Nut Yogurt with Chile Oil Serves 6
Hands on: 1 hourTotal: 1 hour 15 minutesI’m a sucker for anything crunchy, crispy, and fried—even vegetables. Author of The Vegetable ButcherCara Mangini recommends using a box grater or handheld grater with large holes, as it can quickly shreda bunch of zucchini, potato, and carrots into the perfect base for this recipe. To up the ante, these littleguys are packed with herbs, such as mint, dill, and parsley, and fried until they are crisp on the outsideand tender in the middle. If you choose, you can enjoy them on their own with a squeeze of lemon ontop, but I’m a big believer in the Carrot–Pine Nut Yogurt that Cara shared from her trips to Turkey. It alsodoubles as a dip to enjoy with crudités and flatbread or pita chips. Alternatively, simply sub with Greek-style yogurt mixed with grated garlic and a squeeze of lemon.

During this episode, Eartha discussed the topic of mindful walking and encouraged listeners to practice mindfulness outside by focusing on the present moment using the five senses. It is typical for distracting thoughts to interrupt concentration. She used the analogy of pop-ups on a phone or computer to explain how distracting thoughts can be acknowledged and set aside during mindful walking practice. Mindful walking is a practice where the goal is walking, not focusing on getting anywhere. We concentrate on our steps by putting one foot in front of another, letting our minds take in the information around us through sight, sound, smell. and the things that we hear. Remember distracting thoughts are going to come when we in the middle of a mindful practice. We allow distracting thoughts pass. Enjoy your mindful practices this summer.

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but often a disconnect from our true being or inner soul connections to all of life. In today’s show I am delighted to have Joe McQuillen join us for a second time to talk about his new book We’re Not Done Yet, Pop Previously we discussed his book My Search for Christopher on the Other Side revealing a mixture of narrative, italicized visits with Chris from the other side, input and conversations with respected psychic mediums which is relatable to anyone who has experienced loss or even anyone who has imagined it. Go to my website www.sherylglick.com December 2020 to Find Life Exists After Death.
As listeners of the show well know my intuitive and compassionate guests who wish to bring comfort and hope to those open hearted minds who seek to know more about the human and divine connection share intimate and insightful stories that help us realize that we are more than our physical life and that this physical life offers opportunities to expand our soul and human capacity to love and deeply care for life here and beyond as we are spiritual beings having a physical life and life is eternal.. for those who know, it is the truth and reality and helps to move us past all challenges knowing we are loved and guided from a creative Universal Energetic Force of Love and Compassion.
In today’s episode of Healing from Within Joe will continue to help parents with troubled teens understand addiction and for those who have lost a child friend or parent that while our body is left behind after physical death, our energy continues to find connection with our loved ones from both sides of the veil. Joe continues to serve as an example of how one can establish an ongoing relationship with loved ones who have passed. He models total commitment to learning about his son’s new state of being and as a result helps readers heal and once again treasure life in its entirety. Joe calls himself an ordinary man but perhaps like each of us is a unique and magnificent source of soul creation and possibilities for growth.
I always love to ask my guests to think back to their childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown them or others the lifestyle they would embrace as an adult for often the destiny or life plan for us is visible at an early age or sometimes when we look back we realize why certain events happened. Joe tells us that when his son died in a canoe accident with 3 other friends in 2016 this major tragedy put him on this metaphysical path? He had some sense through his Catholic upbringing that there might be a life beyond this life but his search to communicate with his son brought him beyond any skepticism to put the puzzle pieces of his own life together and to begin to accept that his son’s fate in the universal plan was as it must be. After my son Christopher drowned in a canoe accident in 2016 I wasn’t ready to accept a world with him. I wanted to know where he went, so I began a search. And if the answers suggested “nowhere, “ I wanted to know that, too. What I found changed my life forever.
Sheryl tells Joe how as a sensitive child she felt there was more to life than what she was being taught, but not having a family who believed in the afterlife had her fears as they all did about life and dying.
In her book Life is No Coincidence The Life and Afterlife Connection Sheryl describes the visit from her grandfather in a dream while she was sick with the flu and he told her she had to write something for her father. The very next day she received a phone call from her mom saying dad had passed.
Sheryl wrote his eulogy as her grandfather suggested she must and said….

As a leader/manager you inevitably encounter performance discrepancies. That is, differences between desired individual or group performance and actual performance. Most times, the nature and cause of such discrepancies, and what to do about them, are apparent to you. Sometimes not.
In this episode we explore a practical and proven process for you to use whenever you are not sure as to the nature and cause of a performance concern, and how to go about resolving it.
Listen to this week's show with great intensity because you will be listening to a genius. Who is the genius? It's not Doc Holliday, but it is historian, Victor Davis Hansen. Doc Holliday uses a clip from Fox Business that has a wonderful interview with a history professor who knows so much history that he has great insights for our future. Join Doc Holliday for this week's show where you will also hear a clip from Congressman John James about the people of Michigan and how they feel about President Biden trying to tear down the present automotive business model. Click on now for a great show and listen to what Victor Davis Hansen knows!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: There is a picture of a Moon rock on the cover of the book and in the introduction as well. This rock probably lay on the moon for 4.5 billion years until it was discovered by NASA. Slowly consider how long 4.5 billion years is, then consider 4.5 billion times 4.5 billion, then consider ETERNITY.
Why is prayer a journey? It is a very easy question to answer as every soul on the planet is on a journey either to God or away from Him. For those on the journey to him to advance on the journey you must advance in prayer. The book is the journey of the author and his discoveries.
This book delves into the meaning of the gospel parables and the richness that abounds for those who make the discoveries inspired by the Spanish mystics. The book is a prayer journey from sinner to saint for anyone who is on the journey.

This book will also give an insight into one's own psyche. The reader will clearly see the benefits and eternal reward of his decision to be a disciple.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Are the kind of person that learns by doing or can you listen, take notes, and understand how to do something without actually going through the motions. I’m more of a learn by doing person but I ask that question because today I will be introducing you to Dr. James Whorley. He has a new book out that was inspired by watching churches, conventions and stadiums filled with people moved by a sermon but eventually fall back into their old ways of thinking.
His book is called “The Dynamic, Fundamental Study on Discipleship Enter If You Are Teachable!”
Dr. James Whorley - You know I’ve always had a heart for people. Watching struggles and different difficulty that people go to and many times I’ve went to prison and have seen people falling into different traps and the book was written for the purpose of showing people a guide, a direction, a step-by-step walk out of situations and how to stay on a path of hopefully a path where they desire a better life.
It’s a guide to help you maintain a spirit-filled life.
Dr. James Whorley - Many times I talk with people. They come to the Lord. They get saved and excited about walking with the Lord and sometimes it’d be that initial excitement but then they tend to drift away because they don’t have any direction and it came to me that a lot times when people sign up for the army they all excited they don’t what they’re gonna face they don’t know really what it’s all about. That sergeant or whoever is in charge has the desire to transform them to make them into what they could not make themselves and he began to work with them, guiding them, giving them structure, developing them in a stage and same with Discipleship. You come in as a Disciple, as a student, as a pupil, someone that’s come to learn to get instructions and knowledge on things you may have not known; and so in my book you will see that it’s a guide. It’s a step-by-step direction showing a person how they can be transformed.
Whether it’s in church or at a motivational speaker conference we’ve all had those moments when we get fired up by what we’re hearing but then life takes over and we fall back into our old habits. Dr. James Whorley has written a non-denominational guide to help you on your path of spiritual growth.
Dr. James Whorley - The book is non-denominational. The book passes all racial lines. It was written for the individual. It was written for groups as I’d seen when we began to teach it in our church. I’ve seen different groups grab hold to the book and see the benefits of the book. The book is for anyone. I’m putting it out there. I want anyone who is learning to take this book along with you. Grab hold of it and learn and get information that will help you with your spiritual growth.
Alright so now you have a pretty good idea of why he wrote the book and who he wrote the book for but how do you know whether or not it will work for you? Because, according to Dr. Whorley, it's already been tested.
Dr. James Whorley - When I was writing the book I did lesson by lesson with our congregation. Me and my wife, we took the book and we worked it ourselves as a couple but also I took the book to the church and worked it with the entire church and it was exciting to see how people lit up. It was exciting to see people excited by learning new things, new ideas , new things they may not have considered. I believe the book will be great for groups and even for couples working together.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of her newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges in a physical life are not merely economic political or societal but often a deep disconnect from our inner soul wisdom. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Elle Hari, author of Twin Flames Exposed which shares a new way of understanding Twin Souls more productively and with greater insight.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her sensitive and intuitive guests share intimate and insightful stories that help us realize that we are spiritual beings having a physical life which allows the soul to remember who we are and why we have chosen a physical life and then offers us infinite opportunities to work with both our ego based mind reality and our inner master of our emotions as we refine our thoughts and realize that our thoughts and actions are creating either our worst nightmares or most delightful fantasies. We are the masters of our own destiny.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Elle Hare will share why a study of Twin Flames was so important for her and what she learned from her teacher who was the world’s leading expert on twin flames.
First let’s get a clearer understanding of what Twin Flames really are. Elle says Twin Flames are not Soulmates. What are they and how common are they in this physical life? Twin Flames are actually the same soul. The soul inhabits two physical bodies when it is incarnated here in the three -dimensional physical world with separate polarities like a magnetic negative/positive charge. In order for the soul to return to this plane it has to accommodate the duality of our Earthly manifested existence. So it splits in two—one part going into one body and the other part into another. Your Twin Flame is your identical soul with the opposite charge. Soulmates are just one speck of our shared divine essence but they are not the direct match that a Twin Flame is.
Therefore, everyone is a soul mate but there is only one Twin Flame.
Rumi wrote, "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Elle tells us how she became interested to learn more about Twin Flames and how she found a teacher who could help her. By the time you release all false thoughts about Twin Flames and love, you will be able to walk the path to physically and lovingly relating with your twin flame in this lifetime. Elle knows this because she worked with many so-called gurus in search of understanding what she was seeking and what eluded her in finding love. She finally began working with for her the only truly conscious and successful twin flame facilitator. Elle invested years of her life working and learning from her every single day until the time she was unable physically to work.
Elle learned that everyone’s twin flame journey is unique and individual but when her twin flame suddenly physically disappeared from her life she was left shattered on the floor wishing to die. Many breakups, whether it be with a Twin Flame or soulmate, are very painful and often take time to recover from. Elle tells us she had been through bad break ups before and even a messy divorce that lasted years but none of them had left her near as heartbroken as this.
She had no idea what was going on and why she was so severely devastated and her twin flame relationship had been only 6 weeks. Elle was so ashamed and disgusted with her reaction and behaviors.
Elle’s breakup was so severe and Elle so desperately wanted to get back together with him. Why was she pulled into different directions in pain, confused, and didn’t want to live without him. She knew she needed help to understand the depth of this attachment and knew she needed a t...

When I published my #1 International Best Selling book ESP (Easy Sales Process), in 2020, I did not think it would generate a million dollars. I believe it would help spotlight my level of expertise while helping me build trust with future clients.
Here’s the thing. When you are writing the book, thinking if people will even resonate with it, the mind starts to play tricks and turns up the volume on our inner negative record player. The old mind trap of, you’re not good enough, no one will find value in what you have to say, there are other sales books out there, etc.

Our bodies speak volumes…do you know what your body is saying?
I learned early on that my body language spoke to my client more than my words. They reacted to me based on how open or closed my body was to receive their responses.
Here are some statistics on how others process our messages: 55% of our communication with other humans is perceived or processed through our body language or non-verbal cues. 38% of our communication or perception of others is through tone of voice. That leaves a whopping 7% of the messaging we send out based on words.

Eartha discussed the GAS model in an article in Medical News Today, "What to know about general adaptation syndrome," by Timothy J. Legg, Ph.D., PsD-By Lane Burgess, on November 28, 2017. General adaption syndrome(GAS)outlines three stages of how stress affects the body: alarm reaction, resistance level, and exhaustion. Eartha emphasized the importance of being mindful of how the body responds to different types of stimulation and encouraged listeners to participate in mindfulness practices to help the body recover from stress and recharge. She also highlighted the adverse effects of chronic stress. She suggested incorporating mindfulness activities (mindful walks, learning something new, and paying attention to what we eat and drink) to recharge our bodies. Eartha invites you to practice mindfulness daily to prevent exhaustion and promote self-care. Try to prioritize taking a mindful, peaceful sleep without devices for proper rest and recovery.
She concluded the session by leading a guided mindfulness imagery exercise.
Please get your copy of Eartha's new book, "The Power of Dabar, Rising from the Pit of Hell," In her new book; she shares her journey of overcoming stress and why she got into practicing mindfulness. The Power of Dabar, Rising from the Pit of Hell, includes mindfulness practices, poems, stories, and songs.

Our Host, Daniel, engages in a though provoking chat with Authors SandraJo Troupe, and Darrell R. Troupe Sr. along with special guest, Nicole Ross, as she shares her thoughts as an Educator on the benefits of getting people to get into read before adulthood.
The Bill of Rights are an outline of our structured personal liberties. In this episode, Dr. Choby discusses the constitutional foundations of our liberties that are unique to all Americans. By understanding what is is to be an American, people can defend themselves from the progressive transformation of our country that is replacing our freedoms with more intrusive government policies.
It is a surprising fact that almost a quarter of those who die will go off-track, at least for a time, and some of those will need to be rescued. Father Nathan Castle is a Dominican priest who lives and works in a community of Dominican men and women serving the University of Arizona in Tucson, and about twenty-five years ago he was recruited by elevated people not in bodies to do spirit rescue work. In 2019 Roberta Grimes read Father Nathan’s terrific first book, which is called Afterlife, Interrupted – Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over. And she was amazed to find that everything in it is completely consistent with what she had learned in doing decades of afterlife research! He has since written a second book, and he is working on a third. Father Nathan has helped hundreds of stuck souls at this point, and this is his seventh Seek Reality visit. There is no more loving and spiritual man! His website is nathan-castle.com.

Women want men to be open and intimate. To share their thoughts and feelings. To really connect. Unfortunately, the capacity for intimacy that men are born with has been socialized out of them. The good news? It can be relearned. Randell Turner, Child and Family Therapist and founder of Unbreakable Bond, explains why this is important and how to do it. Share the show with the men in your life on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

In this week’s episode, Being Seen and Hear with Firetalker Lynette Hoy, Lynette speaks openly about how her childhood dreams were squashed and how she’s paying it forward.
Lynette shares that as a young child, she was excited to see her father arrive home after a long day of work but that this feeling wasn’t often reciprocated. Her father had a firm belief that children were to be seen and not heard. Her mother, as many women often do, wanted to keep the peace and worked hard to do so.
She remembers wondering if she wasn’t good enough to be seen and not heard…something Gina believes no one should wonder or feel (BUT so many do).
Of course, as an adult looking back, Lynette can see with experienced eyes what exactly was going on. She realized that both of her parents had narcissistic tendencies. One was the limelight lover while the other was a master manipulator. In this environment, Lynette became a “people pleaser and high-achiever.” As an adult, Lynette went on a journey of self-improvement.
Today, she helps business owners be “seen and heard” in a very BIG way with her public relations firm, Fire Talker PR. Here she teaches that 80% of success is from showing up.
Listen in and learn how Lynette took squashed childhood dreams and turned them into a business promoting others to be recognized for their gifts and talents.
”Looking Beyond the Clouds" demonstrates the ups and downs of Christian life. It is a book of poems that summarize the life of a person looking for greater purpose, finding that purpose in God, and fighting for the blessings promised in Heaven. It is interwoven with Christ's compassion and the companionship of a fellow Christian.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Doesn’t it seem like we spend most of our lives just trying to figure it all out? You may have sorted out the meaning of everything but if so you are definitely in the minority. Nadia Owen is the subject of our little chats today and she’s put together a very personal, poetic journey in the form of a book titled “Looking Beyond the Clouds”. In it she has a message for Christian’s and Non-Christian’s as well.
She says while Christianity is for everyone, it doesn’t mean that being a Christian is easy, it just gives you an incentive to be a better person and to have a purpose.
Nadia Owen (It’s ok) It is o.k. to not always be so happy and it’s ok to doubt your relationship with God or even to be angry with God.
Nadia Owen (Non-Believers) There’s a lot of division in the world right now and part of that is people having certain presumptions about Christians and Christianity and ‘m hoping to maybe clear the air there a little bit.
Basically, it’s ok to be human. In fact, it’s important. Questioning our beliefs, questioning our leaders, questioning everything is how we find the truth. Failing and starting again is how we evolve. We weren’t born perfect and she says if you are striving for perfection you’re doing it wrong. Let me clarify that a bit further. If you are a true Christian then your behavior should mirror, reflect and resemble that of Jesus Christ. Now, that is setting the bar pretty high. We are human after all and we need to understand that we are going to make mistakes and that’s ok. People who know us and love us should understand that we are doing the best we can.
Nadia Owen (Christian) I feel like a lot of Christians feel this double standard of people expect them to to be pompous and phony in a way but when they’re not then the Christians are hoping that least then the other person will understand that they’re not being phony and that they really do believe in what they’re saying but when they do come off as more pompous and don’t really follow what they’re teaching then other people kind of point to them and say you’re not a Christians or this is what Christianity is all about.
Nadia says we are all imperfect and we’re not as different as the world would have us believe. If you're a Christian with some doubts here’s one I think you’ll enjoy. It’s called IMPERFECT.
The Artist makes eraser marks on his work But he planned to make these mistakes At first it seems that it was accidental But in the end a more beautiful and unique picture is made
The scars are visible But this is where you can see his work on me He took my past eraser marks and turned it into a more beautiful masterpiece This is my story
The sculptor scratches away night and day He started out with an ordinary rock of a rough grey But just enough pressure, and the removal of the unwanted He works until he gets a diamond that shines brighter than day
They say I'm perfect But I know he's still working Washing me with his blood, repainting me with his grace, etching away so that I'm pleasing to the holy eyes of mercy.
Nadia Owen (For Mom) I first started writing poems like this at about the time that my mom was diagnosed with cancer and when she was diagnosed it was already pretty developed and she was one of the first people who say my poetry and she kept asking me to show whatever new poem i had and she kept reading them and reading them and eventually she did say that this message should be shared with the world and she made me promise that I would publish a book of my poetry.
Nadia has been writing poetry since she was twelve years ol...
Today you get to meet “Bright” the main character in Dian Cooper's new book “The Christmas Light”. After being tucked away in the attic for years Bright has a dream that changes his heart.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
When it comes to children’s stories I have to admit that I’m a sucker for the ones that put you in the perspective of the main character, especially what that character is a toy, an animal or a flower and in today’s case a little blue Christmas Light bulb. Yes, I am a bit a child at heart like Dian Cooper.
Dian Cooper - My real name’s Carolyn Dian Cooper
She’s an animal lover and an author with a message to share.
Dian Cooper - I’m a child at heart. The books that i write are for children and there’s underlying messages for them in a biblical way.
Dian is most certainly a Christian. She’s written a number of books including:
Welcome Blessing
Welcome Christmas
Let’s Play Ball
The King Meets Blessing
The Adventures of Blessing part I, II, III and IV
Today we’re talking about “The Christmas Light”. A story that will hopefully remind us of the true meaning of Christmas.
Dian Cooper - Even though it is Christian based I don’t feel like it’s biased towards the Christian faith because actually Christmas has always been about Jesus’ birthday, I just think we’ve gotten away from why we celebrate Christmas.
She is right and sometimes it does feel that way. Between the onslaught of holiday themed Rom-Coms released on our favorite streaming channels that follows a very predictable pattern ...the holiday bonuses, the elaborate parties and all the marketing messages it can make us lose perspective and in reality it’s not all about Santa Claus and gift getting.
Dian Cooper - I’ve watched several little kids get their presents and that’s all their thinking about is what they’re going to get from Santa Clause and that’s not why we celebrate Christmas. It’s part of the joy of Christmas but I feel like our kids have a misconception of what giving is about at Christmas time it’s all about getting.
So she put her imagination to work and came up with this charming story:
Excerpt from “The Christmas Light” by Dian Cooper
“For years, Bright lay in a box in the attic with
his aunt and uncle, mom and dad, and all his friends,
waiting for Mrs. Smith to come and fetch him.
He always knew Christmas was near when he saw the first snowflake falling outside through the attic window. It was an octagon-shaped stained glass window with a cross in the middle pane. The sunlight would shine through it in the morning, illuminating a colorful cross on the attic floor.
He could hear Mrs. Smith singing Christmas carols downstairs in the kitchen while she baked her famousPecan Pies, Pumpkin Pies,
and Sugar cookies.
She loved baking, and the smell of sugar cookies filled the air,
mixed in with the delightful aroma of pumpkin spice and cinnamon.
The sweet aromas danced their way through the Smith home, all the way up to the attic. Mr. Mouse jumped up into the box where Bright lay tangled up in a web of Christmas lights with his family and friends. “Bright, do you think this is the year? Do ya, hut, do ya?” Mt. Mouse would ask anxiously.
Bright would glimmer with a slight twinkle of hope
and would always say, “Well, you never know, Mr. Mouse.
Mrs. Smith might remember us this year" And with that tiny sparkle of hope, Bright would hold on to his twinkle,
hoping Mrs. Smith would remember him….”
Dian Cooper - I’m hoping that when I wrote the book and I illustrated the character of Bright that it would draw the children into the cute little character, little sweet faces, and make them want to heir mama, grandma or whoever read them the book.
I’m sure they will. Dian did all the illustrations herself and they are vivid and colorful — like a children’s book should be. It’s a fun story with a couple of different messages.

Eartha reviewed W. Robert Nay's concept and components of the stress curve and its impact on our lives. Eartha reveals the importance of recognizing fact versus perception when dealing with stress. She leads a discussion comparing mindfulness responses to knee-jerk reactions and reflexes. Being aware of differences between reflexes and reactions to situations, participants are aware of non-harmful responses to make conscious choices in response to stress before reaching the "harmful stress "zone of the Stress Curve. Eartha provides valuable insights on managing stress and maintaining mindfulness, promoting preventative actions using mindfulness qualities such as being open, gentle, empathetic, and grateful. Mindful takeaways for the session are that participants will:
Make conscious efforts to be more aware of their emotions, body movements, and breathing to identify signs of being overstressed.
Reflect on stress triggers and talk to a friend, family member, or healthcare provider to help turn stressful situations into learning experiences and improve their ability to maintain calmness.
Practice mindfulness tools at least once a week and be aware of your body's response when transitioning from its best stress point to an overstressed point.
Please pay attention to their body's response and be aware of their physical reactions when transitioning from their best stress point to an overstressed point.
Look for Eartha's upcoming new book, "The Power of the Bar: Rising from the Pit of Hell," which reflects her creativity and stimulation of mindfulness practices through poetry and short stories.

With my guest, Dr Stacy Feiner, a business psychologist, we discuss how important it is to learn emotional intelligence and how that can empower a leader's ability to lead. Why do we find ourselves in a situation where we need to learn emotions since emotions are one of the most foundational aspects of being human. Emotional awareness and emotional intelligence is a process not a state we can "get to."

Evolution in the Harmony of Science and Religion
Illustrations by: James Martin, Jr.
The Author
Former U.S. Congressman and Governor for North Carolina.
Jim Martin is a Princeton PhD organic chemist who taught at prestigious Davidson College, his alma mater. During that time, he played principal tuba in the Charlotte Symphony and officiated high school football. Drawn to politics as a precinct worker, he was elected three times as county commissioner, six times to the U.S. Congress, and twice as Governor of North Carolina. After twenty-six years of public service, he returned to his scientific roots in private life to serve as vice president of medical research at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. He and his wife Dottie have three children and five grandchildren.
The Book
Revelation through science is written for the educated non-scientist who maybe troubled by apparent conflicts between science and religion. Are science and faith incompatible? Astronomers, physicists, and biologists have now shown that the more deeply science probes nature, the more it reveals evidence pointing us to God. After reviewing concepts from those fields, Revelation Through Science adds new material from chemistry. It describes organic structures that are profoundly vital for life, yet too complex for self-assembly without some guiding principle. It should lift the burden from believers and seekers to realise that science is not the enemy of faith.
We had a wonderful discussion, you can view it here:
https://youtu.be/wZwROUkrGN8
There are nineteen chapters in this thought-provoking book, split into four parts. The purpose of this podcast interview is to give you an insight to the overall theme Dr Martin is talking about; enough to whet your appetite for you to feel the need to investigate in full his viewpoints on the subject matter of science verses religion from an organic chemist’s approach. So, we’re going to dip in and out of various sections which will intrigue you at best like it did me when I first looked at the book.
Part one
Chapter one: Creation and the Bible. Here Dr Martin touches on areas like Theological Reflections.
Chapter four: Revelation Through Astronomy, where topics like, When Time Began, The Dark Ages, Serendipitous Echo of the Big Bang, and Quasar and Black Holes are touched upon.
Part Two
Chapter Seven: Charles Darwin (1806-1882). Here Dr Martin reflects on The Theory of Evolution, Domestic Darwin, Herbert Spencer and Francis Galton, and much more.
Chapter Nine: The scopes “Monkey Trial.” Here Dr Martin discusses Dayton, Tennessee, 1925.
Part Three
Chapter Eleven: The Age of the Earth, where Dr Martin speaks about Geologic Time as well as Earth is not Ageless, But Very Old along with other intriguing topics.
Chapter Fourteen: Revelation Through Organic Chemistry, covering such areas as Hydrogen bonding with both Water and Hydrogen, plus Optical Activity and Louis Pasteur.
Part Four
Chapter Seventeen: Are we Alone? Here Dr Martin raises some interesting topical debates like, Who’s on Mars? Searching for Extra-Terrestrials, Suitable Planets and Drake’s Formula.
This is a fascinating book, it’s not a bedtime read, it was never intended to be that it’s a thought-provoking book and you may not agree with all of Dr Martin’s thinking’s, points of view, well that’s fine! For the book was written to bring about conscientious debate. Could complex life possibly arise by unguided chance?

Communication techniques are essential for so many different aspects of our lives but according to Brenden Kumarasamy or “Mr. Communication” they aren’t being taught properly in schools. He is the Founder of MasterTalk and today we’re talking about changing our own messaging to achieve the outcome that we're looking for.
Guest Bio: Brenden Kumarasamy is Founder of MasterTalk. He says “A A wise friend once told me that I couldn’t possibly coach every human being on Earth with the limited time I had in my life, so I needed to go on video to share my message with the world. I got over my fear, practiced 100’s of times on camera until I was finally able to say that I was “YouTube Ready”. All’s to say that when you care about others and only want to add value, you’ll be able to overcome any fear/obstacle in the service of others.”

In this extra, we talk about the three parts of any basic ritual: an Opening, Working, and Closing. The Opening prepares you to move from mundane space into the magickal. The Working is where the transformation of magick begins, and the Closing moves you back into the mundane world and provides a place for any magick to manifest.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Robert Frost, “In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”
Do you believe that the spirits of people who have passed on can communicate with us and teach us lessons in our lives? This is a strange question to explore, yet the shared evidence proves the spirit world and our world co-exist and can communicate. My guest and I will speak about the loss of her son Anthony and how he has become her guide to transformation for herself with a ripple effect helping people transform their own lives.

In this episode we discuss the first of my four building blocks for Building a Culture of Commitment. The Selection building block. A logical place to start. After all, you cannot build a culture of commitment if you do not have the right ingredients to work with. Correct?
The intent is to give you greater clarity, confidence, and competence in preparing and conducting effective selection interviews by walking you through a unique and powerful process to do so.
In theory, money is merely the means by which you acquire goods and services. In reality, it is so much more. It’s seen as a measure of success, self-worth, freedom, love, safety, security, and on and on. Getting on the same page financially with your spouse is incredibly important for the success of your marriage. Personal finance and economics educator and founder of Modern Husbands Brian Page reveals what you need to think about at various stages of your relationship when it comes to money.
If money, or anything else, is creating tension in your marriage, Lesli can help. Please share this impactful show with those you love on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
In this week’s episode, Making Flex Work with Wendy Cocke, Wendy shares with Gina how her childhood came full circle after achieving much success in her career.
While growing up, Wendy’s parents decided to think outside of the box in order to bring in an extra income. This decision would provide many benefits beyond the money. It would prove to benefit their children, their children’s friends, and much more.
Wendy’s mother decided to combine her talents with her husband’s knowledge to create a business she could run while remaining at home, raising her family, and caring for all the inner-workings of their home. You could say her mother was a trailblazer for what was to follow for other families.
Being young, Wendy didn’t know any better. She figured all moms did as hers. It wasn’t till she grew older that she realized her experience was unique.
As a high-achiever, Wendy went through life doing all the “right” things. Checking off all the boxes while working for Fortune 500 companies. She had achieved success. Or did she?!
Big businesses often times go through changes and during one of them Wendy lost her high-paying job. This set her into what Gina calls “911 mode.” Wendy quickly set out to replace her income and continue her career. But her husband saw it differently. He saw possibilities that she didn’t.
Listen in and hear how Wendy was able to find flexibility during this time in her life. And how she made it work for her, her husband, and their family. Wendy is now the author of “Making Flex Work: Defining Success on Your Own Terms.” She has redefined success for herself according to her values. Wendy shares her four keys to bring success in balancing your career and life.

For the fun of it, I went to Amazon and searched for books about “boundaries.” There were 75 pages where each page displayed 16 books. That adds up to 1200 books on boundaries alone. For “depression” there were only 50 pages. For “love” there were also 75 pages. But I would argue that many of the books about love also talk about boundaries. “Mindfulness” – 50. And so on…
So, are we obsessed with boundaries? I am going with, “Yes.” Often we think of boundaries that relate to the interactions between us and other people. But there are also boundaries in other areas of our lives. I find these to be just as important. Because these boundaries can also rob you of peace and tranquility if you let them.
During this podcast we will explore: 1) Burdensome Boundaries; 2) Busting Boundaries; and 3) Boundless Boundaries.
NOTE: The attached affirmation is there to help you get into the right frame of mind to develop those Boundless Boundaries. I suggest you listen to it before or after you listen to the podcast. Maybe both.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but often a deep disconnect from our true inner being or soul wisdom. Today I am delighted to welcome Judy Wilkins-Smith author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint which is a powerful guide to transformation through disentangling multigenerational patterns every human being grapples with and uncovering these DNA patterns helps to understand both the limitations and gifts that are innately ours.
Judy as listeners of the show over the years have discovered my intuitive and open- hearted guests share intimate and insightful stories of awakening to the deepest aspects of their inner being and in doing so spread new understanding of eternal energy and divine possibilities to be and do all that their dreams lead them to becoming better equipped to employ the energy of soul and physical life to create and become the best version of yourself by learning and loving as spiritual beings having a physical life to self master their emotions and have a happy healthy prosperous life journey.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Judy tells us the day you agree to become “Big” is the humblest day of your life. Because, that’s the day you are truly in service of your best life and the lives around you. Being “big” challenges you to expand your consciousness and live as a free spirit.” We will discover that every human being is born to be remarkable. And yet every human being is shaped by patterns handed down by their ancestors—invisible multi-generational patterns of decisions, thoughts, feelings, actions, reactions and choices that limit their responses to events and influence every decision of their lives, unconsciously running the show. We will uncover these Emotional DNA patterns, embrace them and learn to make new choices and rewire the brain to become like the phoenix the best of who we really are.
When Judy is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown the lifestyle or interests she might embrace as an adult for it seems we are born with a life plan and destiny and the imprint of our ancestors and have merely to remember who we are and what this life is supposed to be about Judy says two things come to mind. She had a teacher who asked for someone to go get medical supplies and Judy jumped up and said I will get them because I’m going to be a doctor and the teacher said that Tracey should do it as she was going to be the doctor and Judy a writer. Judy also remembers when Walt Disney died when she was about eight or nine years old and she felt so bad for she thought who is going to bring magic into the world and she decided she would just have to do it and always open to the “portal of possibility.”
We know people the world over are fascinated with their ancestry. Over 100M family trees have been built on Ancestry.com alone. Judy shows us why it is important to recognize the patterns in your life and also research those family trees for a greater understanding of our Emotional DNA. In her book, we will explore the conscience of systems and understand how “acknowledging what is” is a pivot point to what’s possible for you. You will learn to identify the patterns that want to stop and start for you. You will learn about the wisdom of your heart, brain, and gut and how constellations help to create profound and lasting shifts. We have the incredible ability to evolve into whatever we choose. As you read this book, Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint, you may be shocked to realize the limiting patterns you have unconsciously taken on as your own from past generations. Yet, you will also find yourself inspired by the wisdom of the multigenerational p...

In 2020 during the height of COVID, I had the time to write and publish my first book ESP (Easy Sales Process): 7 Steps to Sales Success which hit #1 International Best Seller due to the help and guidance of my guest today.
Since that first book three years ago, the itch to continue to write has grown, but only as being a part of 3 Anthologies. Working with other authors on joint projects was the next step for me and my business.
Here is what I have learned through the process of becoming an author. As a leader, organizer, or coach, your followers look to you for motivation, inspiration, and guidance to help them move in a positive direction. Inviting them to join you in an anthology (collection of essays) offers SO much more than getting published and building real authority!

The Author
Pen Name: Trystan Mickel Windemier
Trystan was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the US, and was raised in rural Cedar Springs near the north edge of Kent County. He attended public school there and graduated valedictorian in 1986. Trystan attended two years of college but never pursued a degree. Trystan currently enjoys the process of writing an artform he has developed over the years from reading extensively, a must for all authors one could say. Creating one’s own style is vital to survive this cut-throat but enjoyable profession. Music of most styles is fundamental to Trystan’s life as he sits and contemplates the next storylines to music playing in the background.
Trystan Served as a young teen director at his church for two years. For five years he worked in a tool and DIY shop, the experience he gleaned from those years he very often reflects on as a valuable lesson in life. As a high school teacher for nigh on fifteen years Trystan worked closely with his pupils ensuring their start in life was solid enough to give them a good fighting chance in life as possible. During his teaching career Trystan wrote many curriculum policies on a variety of subjects, he wrote countless editorials for the local press concerning educational issues faced within the local school district. His work within this area earned him a place on the local board of education, a position he held for four years. Home schooling became an important area in education for Trystan so much so he developed and ran his own service to both junior and high school pupils broadening their educational needs to face the modern world with all its demands and complexities. If you think this career path was busy, well add to that teaching youngsters to drive for five years and all the hairy experiences that brought and you start to see what a multifaceted person Trystan has been and continues to be even in the face of adversity during the US economic downturn recently. Something Trystan associates with the Obama years.
Trystan presently lives in rural Michigan and now mainly spends his time writing as a self-employed author, something he hopes to do for a considerable time in the future.
Quirky Story
I asked Trystan for a fun quirky story just to bring a bit of fun into this interview this is what he sent me.
I mentioned earlier that I taught Driver’s Education for five years. I did and experienced many close calls with student driving. One such drive was very scary for me, but a learning experience too.
I had two students on this drive, it was their very first time behind the wheel. The first driver was a female who was visibly apprehensive and scared. We went through the pre-start checks, briefly talked about where and what the various pedals did, gear shift lever, and gauges that were on the dashboard.
Now I had placed the car in front of an eight-inch-high sidewalk (path to those outside the US) separating two of the school parking lots. I assumed when I told her to put the car into reverse, back up, shift to drive and drive out of the parking lot that she would shift to reverse and backup. Quite the opposite occurred she shifted to drive and proceeded to jam her foot on the gas pedal (accelerator to those of us outside the US) and career across the parking zone narrowly missing several cars and their petrified owners. Once I had recovered from the initial shock and composed myself, I slammed my foot on the chicken brake (Back up brake to those outside the US) and brought the car to an abrupt halt.
With no damage done, but nerves well frazzled we continued the journey without any further incidents so to speak. The next driver gave me a safer ride.
Lesson learned, never assume and always be prepared for the unpredicted foibles life throws at you, when you least expect it.

The Book
Tyler grew up in a Christian household,
The Author
Dr James Whorley is an American author from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Florida in the US. He was born in 1961 to Charles and Dorothy Whorley, he has five siblings, and the family life back then was overall happy and lively; but like in all families then it was not without its upsets and difficulties. Dr James (Doctor of Theology) right from an early age firmly believed that his destiny was to be a pastor following several incidents that nearly took his life. At nineteen he became a Christian and from that day to the present day firmly believes a life based on Christianity has sustained well. At the tender age of twenty-one he married Ora and they have been blessed with four children and five grandchildren.
Throughout his whole life Dr James has done a variety of jobs, from being employed, Self-employed, both for non-profit and profit organisations. Dr James has run his own construction company as well and all running alongside his pastoral duties for the Highway Church, a following which has meant so much to both him and his wife right from the tender age of twenty-four. Now, for me that’s dedication to the Lord’s work.
Dr James continues to play an active part not only in his local church but in the wider community as well.

The Book
The book has thirteen chapters, and each chapter is divided into three sessions. The purpose of the book as far as I can determine is to give the reader a step-by-step guide to the world of Christianity from the ideological concept to being fully engaged in what society would see as the righteous path of the Lord’s teachings. For me this book is perfect for those looking to follow a Christian life, they can read a session, refer to the biblical references Dr James alludes to in the text and then reflect on what has been said by addressing the questions at the end. The book is perfect for a group discussion on a weekly basis for novices to the faith, those looking to enrich their faith and those wishing to return to faith having taken an absence of leave for whatever reason. The book talks about, calling, following, love, faith, the kingdom of God, discipleship, the last scene and many other topics relating to a Christian life.
For the purpose of this podcast, we’re going to concentrate on the following chapters to give you a flavour of what this book is about:
Chapter 1: Knowing and Understanding your Calling.Chapter 4: Love.Chapter 7: Faith.Chapter 9: Spirit, Soul and BodyChapter 12: Great Sorrow as has Never been seen upon the Earth before/Rapture.
An Inspiring read with very interesting theological conceptualizations.

The Author
Dian Cooper is an American freelance writer and illustrator from Tomball in Texas USA. She is the author and illustrator of fiction children’s books, not only of The Christmas Light, which is the subject matter of this podcast, but also of the following books.
Welcome BlessingWelcome ChristmasLet’s Play BallThe King Meets BlessingThe Adventures of Blessing part I, II, III and IV
Dian’s books reflect her love for both Children and God, something she imbues throughout all her writing. Having talked to Dian you get a real sense that God inspires her zeal to nurture in all children that they are imaginatively created by God’s own love and affection. Her dream/prayer is that ‘The Christmas Light’ becomes an annual book that kids of all generation enjoy at Christmas time and may be, just maybe that the Character Bright and all the other Christmas lights in the box become endearing animated characters on TV telling the simple message to kids and adults alike that Jesus’ love for them is real.
Dian grew up in the small town of Humble, on the outskirts of Houston Texas. She thrived in her English classes in school and remembers her teachers telling her your talents lie in writing and artistry. Her career and being a mother put her dream of writing on the back boiler so to speak but, now she is retired she devotes much of her time illustrating and writing her books. The walls of her house are adorned with her wonderful creative artwork.
Today writing and illustrating as well as her passion to saving and protecting endangered wildlife in South Africa are her main purposes in life, her reason to get up in the morning, her way of inspiring young minds to enjoy what God has given simply told though magically creative stories backed up with breath-taking artistry.

The Book
This spellbinding Children’s book for me is aimed at preschool years, the illustrations are beautifully drawn in bright vivid colours as they should be for this age group. The Character ‘Bright’ is a Christmas light bulb that has been put away in a box with mum and dad, his friends as well as aunts and uncles since 1976. Every Christmas Bright and all the Christmas lights would eagerly wait for Mrs Smith to return to the attic to fetch them out. Bright knew it was Christmas as he could see the snowflakes falling though the stain class attic window that had a cross at its centre, he could hear Mrs Smith singing her favourite Christmas songs downstairs as she made the festive treats in preparation for her family’s arrival. However, every year he could hear the family leaving and he would often think maybe next year he and all the other lights in the box would be remembered, but for the time being they lay there forgotten in a box unopened since 1976, only the attic mouse knew they existed. Yet Bright and his friends could hear Mrs Smith’s Granddaughter Allie singing, ’HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS.’
The story talks about Bright’s dream as he reflects upon the true meaning of Christmas, the author takes us to the bible quotation John 3:16 “God so loved the world that he sent his only son, Jesus, to die for us so that we may have eternal life.” So, while the book has cute Christmas undertones with fabulous illustrations there is an underlying Christian message to kids and all those that read the book. Thankfully with an invigorated light source glowing from the attic window Mrs Smith rediscovers Bright, his mum and dad, and friends. Once again Bright and all the other Christmas lights festoon the house sending out a message, the true message as to why the Christian community celebrates Christmas.

Flavored butters from around the globe sound enticing, and as Kitchen Chat discovered they are easy to make and utterly delicious. Trained in the kitchen of M.F.K. Fisher, Chef Sheana Davis shares her priceless recipes and the origin story of her now world-famous compound butter passion in her wonderful new book: Buttermonger.
As a young culinarian, Chef Sheana was mentored by the pre-eminent M.F.K. Fisher, and was introduced to compound butters, 3-2-1 cocktails, and other hospitality & culinary "essentials". Later, and throughout her distinguished culinary career, Chef Sheana continued to draw upon the lessons from the legendary "Miss Frances" as she was known, and built upon them to develop her own personal "signature" style and philosophy of flavor.
In this episode of Kitchen Chat, Chef Sheana's generous narrative is a link to the highest culinary Mt. Olympus, and an inspiring lesson in a culinary tradition which we become a part of, just by preparing our own, exquisite, signature compound butter a la Chef Sheana Davis and the legendary M.F.K. Fisher.
Meanwhile, enjoy this delicious recipe for French Herb Butter and impress your friends and family at your next gathering. And please order her new book: Buttermonger.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges in the physical world is not economic political or societal but a deep disconnection from our true being or soul self. I am delighted to welcome Stase Michaels, author of A Little Bit of Dreams and Nightmares to help us explore the world of our subconscious mind or that which connects to the metaphysical realms of life beyond the physical.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” are well aware Sheryl and her intuitive and insightful guests share intimate and thoughtful awarenesses of man nature and spirit that help us know who we are, where we come from and what happens after a physical death. We don't just have a soul, we are soul beings, having a physical life in order to refine our energy thoughts actions and reactions resolve karma and make more loving and compassionate decisions, as we have a host of experiences learning not to judge anything as good or bad, just experience for further personal and collective growth.
In today's episode of “Healing From Within” Stase Michaels who has three degrees in psychology and has written eight dream books offers a new potential in problem solving and suggests medical researchers’, scientists, and inventors can harness the power of dream as a source of practical insights for sought after breakthroughs. Dreams, like everyday events, can teach us more about how to love, learn and seek answers to age old questions. Today Stase shares how dreams and yes, nightmares, offer us a way to learn more about ourselves and our relationships and lead to healing many fears and past traumas.
Stase shares with us how she got interested in dreams and describes what dreams are. Stase Michaels arrived at her definition of a dream. When you have a dream, your first inclination is to wonder what it means. Few ask, "What is a dream?" and even as a dream expert, Stase did the same. For years, she focused on what the dream meant and never questioned what it was. From sleep lab studies, we know about Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, brain wave activity during sleep, and sleep stages. However, such facts do not explain the origins or the function of a dream. Mystics, on the other hand, spoke of dreams as a message from the soul, or other souls in spirit. That may be true, but again, does not define the mechanics of how a dream comes about. It finally dawned on Stase that she had no clear conception of what a dream really "is." Her curiosity led her on a ten- year trek to find the answer. She read books and explored scientific journals. These helped her see what a dream does, but not what it is. The closest link to an answer emerged from Freud's idea which looks at dreams as leftovers about daily concerns, a concept later expanded by Montague Ullman. Dreams as day residue became the seed thought that led to a true definition. Mobilizing a lifetime of observations about dreams, a picture slowly unfolded about the mechanics of how a dream comes to be and what it is.
As the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, here is the ultimate definition of a dream, the one that is satisfied. “You Juggle Two Lives. You live two lives: an outer life of actions and an inner, hidden life of emotions and thoughts. These inner and outer parts of you are mediated by "the psyche, which, in the context of dreams, is defined here as your total interactions between your mind, your body, and for believers, your soul.”
Your Outer Life. As you go about your day, you carry out your roles as a parent, sibling, friend, student, doctor, bus driver, teacher, social worker, etc. Each role defines what you do, but does not define who or what you are.
Your Inner Life. While engulfed in daily routines, your mind conducts a silent,

Coined by the American Survey Center in 2021, the “Friendship Recession” is a term used to describe the alarming phenomenon researchers are seeing among adults who report lacking close friendships. According to their data, the number of men and women reporting not having any close friendships is rising—15% of men and 10% of women in America. By contrast, in 1990, only 3% of men reported having no close friends.
Lost in seclusion, people everywhere seem to be having trouble connecting again. Many cannot find their way back to their “village,” and they are suffering historical levels of loneliness, anxiety, and depression because of it.

The Witchstone spotlight has moved on to various ways you can use your cards with the Sage talking about 1 and 3 card readings. Finally, this week's Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint talks about using the Quiet Space of the Dark Moon.
A lot of people think of emotions as positive and negative - either light and upbeat ones or downers. But emotions in reality are neither. They are sources of good information and this session discusses how to unpack emotions to understand what they can teach us. In a sense emotions instruct us on what we should do; they set us in motion, if you will.

“How Nicholas Became Santa Claus” Authors, Darrell R. Troupe and Sandra Jo Troupe, discuss with fellow co-host, Daniel Troupe, How the avoided the pitfalls of using cliche and give advice on staying original, when to use them and discuss narrative vs dialogue. How many Cliche can you recognize through this entertaining discussion?
In this podcast, I will demonstrate how the deep state has used their prosecutors as political hit men to assassinate the characters of the people who get in their way. Taking the example of how these tactics are being used to indict and destroy former President Trump, the patterns of harsh abuse from the storm troopers of the democratic dictators emerge as standard operating procedures in full public display. Might indeed becomes right and we are being increasingly driven into bondage.
Thus far in discussing Building a Culture of Commitment we have:
Made the business case for doing so; and,
Reviewed the relationship between work and human nature to solidify your understanding of motivation so that you can understand and appreciate the practices and processes we will be discussing in the upcoming episodes to allow you build a culture of commitment.
How do we determine what information, what concepts are right for us? How do we know for certain that we have made a good decision, evaluated correctly? I find this be be rather complex. But, I am going to take a high level stab at it: Using that 1 to 5 scale. You know, the one venders often use when they ask for feedback.
How does that 1 to 5 scale fit into our daily lives? I had a recent experience that has caused me to ponder on this. How might this 1 to 5 scale help us evaluate new ideas, new data that constantly comes our way?
In this episode, There is Power in Your Story with Vicki Noethling, Vicki shares freely with Gina how she found her voice and why she’s passionate about helping others do the same.
Vicki Noethling is a speaker, trainer and coach focusing on public speaking and leadership. She is also a best-selling author and the host of The Find Your Leadership Confidence podcast.
As the second oldest in a family of seven children, this shaped Vicki early on. She found it easier to be quiet and shy and taught her to be organized and take action; she was led down a path of self-discovery.
She used self-development to give her the edge she felt she needed since she didn’t go to college. During the early years of her career, her bosses saw something special in her that she didn’t quite acknowledge in herself: those action-taking abilities, which got her a promotion to project management.
At a young age, Vicki began modeling for extra money but it left her wondering if everything had to be perfect. Learn how that experience changed the way she now sees everything she does and how, as a new mother, she competed in the Mrs. Georgia pageant.
Vicki stepped outside her comfort zone and joined Toastmasters where she received a great education and support. Little by little Vicki’s confidence in herself grew.
Now she helps and supports women and children in finding their voice and using the power of their story in public speaking and leadership.
Listen in and learn how you can easily begin today, with a few simple things, to build your confidence, use your voice to share your story, and find comfort in being vulnerable.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher Medium and author of a trilogy the newest addition A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our greatest challenges are not merely economic political or societal but simply a great disconnect from our spiritual values and the inner soul essence that connects us to Higher Source. We are delighted to welcome John Siddique, author of Signposts of the Spiritual Journey, a true roadmap for those embarking on an inner journey to heal life and live authentically.
We thank John for joining us on Healing From Within to share his own view of the signposts as well as the obstacles that may be encountered on perhaps the greatest journey of all that of going within and knowing the energy of eternal oneness and life in many dimensions.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate insightful stories that show us how the duality of life actually is necessary to remember we are souls having a physical life so we may refine our thoughts and actions and grow to higher levels of awareness and consciousness as we learn that life is not random We are not alone and all experiences are just right neither good nor bad but necessary to raise our vibration to higher planes of existence and personal growth.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within John Siddique one of the most popular teachers on the meditation app Insight Timer who has been featured in Time Magazine The Guardian and CNN and the BBC. As well as having a Talk and Workshop for the Theosophical Society of America. He will discuss the five tools and 3 practices to cut through the noise and find a connection in meditation to higher source.
When John is asked about his childhood days and to remember a person, place, or event that might have signaled to him about the lifestyle he might embark on as an adult, he immediately remembers when he was 6 years old, and swimming under the water, free from his familial impressions and knowing the light within him or his soul was going to be the force that created the best life for him. In time, he came to accept that beyond beliefs there is a sense of knowing the universal source, creation, and the beauty of interconnectedness of life. And in his book, Signposts of the Spiritual Journey, he shares ways that meditation and other tools for knowing oneself lead to an awakening that is endless, boundless, soulful, as well as joyful.
John tells us about the arising of questions and the urge to honestly meet yourself as he decided it was the only way to begin an inner decision to move forward.
At this point, you might find yourself questioning what is going on in the world around you, or you may be questioning the purpose of your own life. Anyone who dares to reflect on life and its meaning, finds that things tend to boil down to three primary questions. I’ll just place the three questions here without commentary because you know them already, and in essence, they are why you are here. You have always known these questions.
Who am I?
What am I here for?
Is there a way to end suffering?
Seven other secondary questions feature prominently throughout the journey, which you will similarly find you already know: Who? What? Why, Where? When? What if? How?
Learning to turn toward awareness You can notice, or even encourage a shift within yourself toward awareness by the way you frame your questions as you meet daily life situations. For example, if we allow a movement from asking questions such as “Why is this person doing this to me?” or “Why is (insert personal difficult situation) always happening to me?” and instead try to drop taking the situation personally, and allow appreciation of any other person involved, then we’re not coming from the place of it being a problem.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Martin Luther King Jr., “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. And, if you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”
For 20 years, my business has been in growth mode. Sometimes the next step to achieve that growth was easy. At other times, I felt unsure about where to focus my time, money, and effort.
Today’s discussion is about…
How to survive the growing pains of your business,
The #1 thing that may be holding you back from being successful in your business growth,
How to get the right people in the right seats,
Don’t get addicted to more. Get addicted to better.
And so much more.

Here's a short something extra from the Young Crones Cafe. Happy Summer Solstice! Although we celebrate the peak of Light Energy on this day, we also recognize that we are beginning what we call the Dark Half of the Year because gradually the Light Energy decreases after today. Enjoy the start of your summer season, but remember don't overschedule yourself to the point where you are exhausted because it feels like the energy will last forever.
We open our session by paying attention to silence and listening to ambient noises. The purpose of this practice is to reflect on the benefits of using silence mindfully. Silence can help us take a mindful pause and reflect on learning experiences. During the silence:
Did you pick up any ambient noises?
How did you feel about the silence?
As we uncover the beauty in ourselves, concentrate on successes that were made during challenges. Have you ever experienced making a mistake and found out things worked out, or you discover new ways of doing something? This“mistake” was a growth period. During this period using mindful practice helps bring us into calmness. Join me as I share methods that uncover the beauty within you—resource: Stressed Teens by Gina Biegel.

“I have to help my 9th grader, she can’t get organized and her grades are way down.” "Why does it take you so long to get your homework done?” “What can I do to help?”
Do any of these questions sound familiar? Today my guest is Michelle Raz, a board-certified ADHD coach, her specialty is academic coaching. We will be exploring how to answer the above questions and how an executive function coach may be more valuable than tutoring or therapy.

The thing about movies is that they often focus on one aspect of life and help you visualize what that one aspect is really all about. Movies have a way of pulling you in and making you “feel” what those people on the screen feel. You can relate.
The thing about movies is that they most often do not connect the dots between that one aspect of life and other aspects. So I find that you can get so much more out of a movie if you circle back and connect some of those dots for yourself. For this podcast I have chosen three movies about loneliness and we will see if we can connect some of those dots.

Host Daniel Troupe, and Authors Darrell R. Troupe Sr and Sandra Jo Troupe enter into a speculative conversation about whether fantasy and sci-if fantasy story could become the mythology of the far of future.

Many people believe that warriors are taught not to feel, but classic warrior training is just the opposite. Not only are emotions part of our core survival skills, they also are what can keep us fully focused in the present. Warriors must be keenly aware of everything around them, so honing the accuracy of their emotions and sensations is essential to survival. In this session we discuss some of the tools and techniques used in developing further emotional awareness.

In this week’s episode, Healing Imbalance with Erica Smigielski, Erica shares with Gina how a work-related crisis brought her back into balance.
Erica was well-respected at her workplace and in her field. Her superior saw her talent and wanted to support her in any way possible which included allowing her to work with a coach. This was the catalyst that Erica needed to help her collect the pieces of herself that she had given up or left behind.
She found herself asking, “Who is Erica?” Imagine checking in with yourself every few months and asking yourself, “Who am I?” This is something Gina believes in wholeheartedly and highly recommends.
So often we get on a roll with great momentum and before we know it, weeks, months, and years pass, and there we are going through the motions, as Erica says, “almost robotic – with this emptiness inside.”
If you know what that feels like, then this conversation is for you. Listen in and learn how Erica was able to change that emptiness into a deeper, richer, and more fulfilling career and life.
Erica knew she had much more to offer and she was right. Erica hosts the Soulful Soundbites podcast and provides practical and relatable ways to nourish your soul. She is a situational coach, mystic leader, and transmitter. She guides individuals to access and heal imbalances within their psyche.

Such an understanding provides an important underpinning for the rationale for building a culture of commitment and how to go about it.

The recent indictment of President Trump brings into focus how the police powers can be used for nefarious purposed to get rid of the feared opponents who would expose the ugly truth of pubic behavior. This episode reminds us the constitution has the final word on our personal liberties, if we exercise them to preserve them when challenges.
It is as easy to fall into a working life as it is into a new relationship, from which springs eternal the hope that both will last. Choosing ‘safe’ over ‘fear of losing’ can result in an increasing sense of uneasiness, harder to ignore or dismiss the more prolonged the endurance.
For George, confronting fears was a lifelong skill acquired over many years: taking the knocks, making ill-judged decisions, and not learning from past errors, all served to muddy the waters. Making the harder calls on personal and career transitions seemed to open up a chasm of doubt in his mind, but with the right support and a leap of faith in his own abilities, the challenges that lay ahead of him became as alluring as a late spring sunset after a rain-soaked day.

The Author
B James Wilson is an American author from the Space Coast of Florida where he presently lives with his wife and family. Bruce grew up in Miami and as you can imagine summers there where hot, so to cool down, a favourite past-time of his was to go boating and fishing around Biscayne Bay along Miami’s stunning waterfront.
Before he could graduate from Miami Palmetto High school Bruce’s family moved to Florida’s Space Coast where they joined the ‘race to the moon’ in 1964. For those of you who can’t remember what the ‘race to the moon’ was all about, let me refresh your memories. It was President John F Kennedy’s focused declaration for America to beat the Russians in putting a man on the moon.
After graduating from Satellite High school, Bruce joined the US Navy. Part of his training was in Memphis Tennessee, he served in Vietnam as well as other pacific locations. Since his service days he has travelled the world extensively and has lived in places like Ireland, Germany, Japan, Guam, The Philippines and California.
When you look at Bruce’s life you can say he has led a full and varied existence. He studied Computer science at Brevard Community College, Quality Systems and Demand-Pull Manufacturing Techniques at the University of Florida, and Biblical Studies at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. To this menagerie of careers, we now must add writing. Bruce writes covering several genres but for the purpose of this podcast we’re going to concentrate on his book ‘The Oubliette.’

The Oublette- Book 1 in The Bible Book Club Series
When I looked at this book my first question was why the title and what is an oubliette? The word itself derives from the French word ‘oublier’ meaning ‘to forget’ and it refers to a secret dungeon where the sole access was via a trap door in the floor of a building mainly a medieval castle where persons condemned to perpetual imprisonment or to perish secretly were thrown down and forgotten about. The oubliette would be a pit of darkness and in this book imaginatively created by B James Wilson the oubliette isn’t so much a physical medieval construction but more the evil forces that have prevailed since time imprisoning minds in dark forgotten places.
This powerful fictional story of one man’s confrontation with evil, is breath-taking. The roots of the book grow out of biblical origins which stem from the authors own biblical understandings of scripture. The whole story is built around Mike Brennan the main protagonist and his terrifying journey from his own dark mindset to coming into the light. What Mike encounters along the way, very often brings him into unchartered waters of the unexpected and unwelcome. As B James Wilson takes Mike on this daunting journey, he creatively talks about the profound questions of life that we all very often want answers to. As In life, the answers that come back are very often not the answers we’re looking for, and the sources from whence the answers originate, at times, can be unnerving. What is the nature of Mike Brennan’s dark ’oubliette?’ The answer to that question is for you to read and discover for yourself in this page-turning novel by B James Wilson.

The Author
Mel Harrison is an American author from The Villages in Florida where he presently lives with his wife Irene to whom he has been married to for some considerable time. He spent twenty-eight years working for the US Department of State. Most of his career years were spent working in the Diplomatic Security Service, he was assigned to the embassies in Saigon, Quito, Rome, London(twice), Seoul, and Islamabad. While serving at the various embassies he worked as a Regional Security Officer (RSO) a special agent of the US Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) responsible for regional security at that those sites. In acknowledgement of his outstanding achievements in this field of high sensitivity he was awarded the departments Award of Valour and the worldwide RSO of the year award.
Prior to joining the US Foreign Service, he graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Economics, followed by post graduate work at The American University. The Department of State assigned him to the NATO Defence College in Rome for Political-Military studies. Did Mel enjoy his time working at the various embassies, most definitely! In fact, when you look at his books, they are all based on his experiences at the time of his watch while working in those countries. The stories and characters have been modified somewhat for diplomatic reasons. On all his overseas assignments his wife Irene accompanied him as she followed her own diplomatic career at the embassies albeit working in a slightly different field of diplomatic expertise.
Life after being a special agent for the US State Dept saw Mel working in corporate security or consulting work for ten years, this work very often entailed trips to Latin America and The Middle East, something he equally enjoyed in addition to his world of security and counter-espionage.
Mel has written five books in the Alex Boyd series so far, but for the purpose of this podcast we’re mainly concentrating on his latest book ‘Spies Among Us.’ However, we will give a nod to the other books so that you can get a flavour of what they are about.

The Books
Spies Among Us (Book Five -the latest novel in the series)
This latest book in the Alex Boyd series set in the UK is another scintillating story line of the spy world with which Alex and his cohort of characters operate within. The depth of detail around the planning and strategy Mel Harrison the author goes into is what you would expect from a very good spymaster writer. There is so much evidence like with all the other books in the series of Mel’s own first-hand experience in this mirky world of counter-espionage. The plot has an air of reality too it, what I liked most about this book was the interactions between the US Embassy, Scotland Yard and British Intelligence Services working together to get to the bottom of an unscrupulous co-worker who’s passing highly classified information from the US government and NATO to a deep undercover Russian spy. The Russians have quite a few tricks up their sleeves which complicates matter for Alex, the CIA and FBI. With more information being leaked to the Russians the urgency to flush out all involved is a matter of huge concern. Alex needs to find out who are the spies among them.
For me the following chapters stood out, but don’t let me influence you in any way. All I say is read the book and see if you agree with me, or not.

What is a lullaby? Webster: “A song that is sung to bring sleep to children.” I like that. Sometimes your inner child needs a lullaby. Sometimes your soul needs a lullaby. Some time ago I wrote this poem “Hush My Soul” which is published in my Meditations book. Think of this as a lullaby for your soul.
For this podcast I expand a bit on each of the 5 stanzas I have chosen from the poem. Here I share more of what I was thinking when I first wrote the poem as well as what I have realized since.
This will be my shortest podcast ever: Because I want you to firstlisten to the podcast. Thenwatch the attached video and ponder…. Make it your own.

Welcome to Healing from Within with host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher and author of her newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages that show us our greatest challenges are not economic political or societal but simply a disconnect from our true inner soul wisdom and life force. Today Sheryl welcomes Sherry Stirling Fernandez, author of Life Mastery which shows readers that if they are not progressing to a better version of themselves, they cannot achieve a true sense of joy nor the fulfillment of their personal life and soul goals.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her courageous and intuitive guests share intimate stories and experiences that clarify the duality of life both our physical and energetic or inner soul consciousness, so we may begin to appreciate our special spiritual gifts that allow us to conquer challenges, improve relationships, and find harmony balance peace love and compassion leading us to more productive and purposeful life journey’s and being genuinely happier in the process.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Sherry shares her earlier childhood family chaos and how she knew she was destined for great things and believed in her personal potential to achieve the best life for herself, family and in her work experiences. We will be guided to understand the keys to embark on the quest for self-empowerment…the determination of your WHY or your goals, The WHAT- what needs your focus and attention to achieve Life Mastery in eight different aspects of your life. And the HOW—getting an assessment of where you are: what goals and action steps to take and the habits you need to instill or replace.
Sherry when asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that might have shown her or others the life values and life style they would embrace as an adult she immediately tells me she spent a lot of time on her own going to the movies and experiencing the many challenges that the characters on the screen faced. Through deep in the throes of childhood family chaos with two unstable and unhappy parents divorcing, marrying others, then remarrying-amidst constant moving and dysfunctional child rearing, Sherry still knew that she was destined for great things. She believed in her potential for greatness. Sherry tells us how she left home at 17, teen flirting with thievery, drugs and self- destruction, pregnant at 19, married by 22 and living a hippie lifestyle with all that implied in the 1970’s. She and her husband Ken lived on the edge of destitution until they began to explore personal development through books, tapes and live events with leaders in the movement of self – empowerment. Slowly they inched themselves and their six children forward toward a better, more rewarding and financially strong life.
Sherry tells us that things weren’t so good but things might have gotten worse for her family and her but a miracle happened. When Sherry was ten her parents divorced their spouses and remarried. Life was better for a while. The family moved to a small ranch in southeast Idaho and Sherry rode horses and excelled at debate. She had friends dated but still spent a lot of time alone. She was a thinker and a reader and wanted to know the secret to a successful life. The counselor at her high school once told her that it was normal for teens to want to fit in and then asked Sherry why she didn’t feel that way. The world had big plans for Sherry and how could she be classified as special if she blended in?
Sheryl has to say that as a gifted student who skipped almost 2 years of school and graduated high school at 16 years old, she felt much the same as Sherry. Work and helping the family was important and Sheryl wanted a home husband and successful healthy family and work life and for her that meant contentment security or making enough money to have a house, travel and pursue other learning experiences in life. Her hobbies were interior design, learning about antique film theatre writing but always learning something new, not really being part of groups, clubs or belief systems. A bit of a loner like Sherry, she was intuitive and knew somehow there was more to life than the materialistic world she and most people were focusing on, but still being a participant in what she was interested in kept her absorbed, not lonely or bored.
Sherry explores the purpose of life is to be happy and happiness is the universal desire of mankind but first each person must determine what brings fulfilment and purpose to life for in finding and working towards those ends happiness is the natural by product. Sherry and all those who strive to understand the purpose of a physical life come to realize that within us is a majestic power that when used with love can help us achieve many of the goals that lead to a peaceful and happy life.
What seems to be the key to happiness some might say service or love. There is a universal answer to what makes people happy. Personal progression toward an infinite potential is the key to happiness. In the Hebrew Torah the psalmist sings, “Thou hast made him (man) a little lower than God and crowned him with glory and honor,”
Abraham Maslow expressed the contradiction between our “nothingness” and our infinite possibility when he said, “We are simultaneously worms and gods.” Every time we become a little better and move closer to that divine infinite marvelous potential, we are a little happier because personal progression toward an infinite potential is the key to happiness.
Sherry suggests a little experiment to see that personal progression toward an infinite potential is the key to happiness. Do something that challenges you, something hard. Hike a steep hill, take a small gift to someone you don’t particularly like, make that call that you have been dreading, or apologize to someone you have offended, especially if you think you were justified. Gather up all your courage and do it, then see what your happiness level feels like. You will be proud of yourself! And because you like yourself more, your self-esteem will increase. You will stretch, you will grow, and you will be better than you were. You will be happier and like Bruce Barton said, “Nothing great has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances.”
Since Happiness cannot be found in a life that is out of balance and to have full mastery of our lives we must determine WHAT needs improvement in each area of Life Mastery.
The areas of life we must concentrate on:
The Spiritual Self
Relationships
Education and Motivation
Vocation
Money
Lifestyle
Building Character.
Sheryl responds that as a Reiki Energy Practitioner in healing sessions she works on the chakra system or 7 main energy wheels of light which connect us to each other and the universal source of creation. If one wheel has been neglected or wounded it can be off balance or even wobble and must be restored as life and health are best when all the chakras are functioning well and in sync. In other words we must not neglect any aspect of our lives focusing only on some issues and not others.
In the introduction to the book Sherry tells the story Of Jerry Sternin who was sent by a humanitarian organization to Viet Nam to find a solution to help feed the families as 65 percent of children under the age of five were suffering from malnutrition. Though Sternin did not speak Vietnamese, had no funding and little government support he was able to find a brilliant solution.
Sternin searched for and found families where the children were thriving rather than starving even though they had no more financial means than the other villagers. He visited families at mealtimes to see what they did differently. He discovered the mothers of the thriving children were gathering tiny shrimps, crabs and snails from the rice paddies and cooking them along with sweet potato greens, into their children’s food. While this was not a common custom in Vietnam, adding these items gave the children vital nutrition. Sternin had found a sustainable solution to the plague of malnutrition and it was in reach of every family. Sternin recognized the real experts were the Vietnamese mothers who had found a way to nourish their children and had been practicing certain principles with success. He recruited and organized the mothers of the thriving children to teach those who had not discovered how to do it on their own. Vietnamese mothers became authorities as they taught what they knew to other mothers and those mothers became authorities also. They became successful living by certain principles and like those mothers success does not come from expert status, a degree or courses but from a life time of learning and practicing certain principles with success and once you achieve this state of being you also have an obligation to share them with others.
Sherry says that knowing your WHY is the critical first step in figuring out how to achieve the goals that excite you and can create a life where you thrive rather than just survive. Sherry says the road to change from young party people to joining the establishment to support your children might be hard. Brian Tracy writes “ We do not usually make significant and lasting changes in quantum leaps. All permanent change is progressive over a long period of time. This type of change requires patience and discipline. It is only this type of change that is worthwhile and enduring.
Sheryl has often told her Reiki students that to become proficient or really good in any area of life takes time, practice and continuous effort or perhaps 15 years to hone your skills at any profession or trade or area of life that is meaningful to you. Do not expect immediate success but expect to keep learning and improving skills till you master that challenge.
Sherry tells us that Ken and she married, loved their 6 children, worked hard but struggled to pay their bills, attempted a few ventures which failed, but over the next ten years were able to move their family into increasingly nicer homes and better lifestyles. Within 15 years of that experience we were independently wealthy, our marriage was loving, warm and romantic, family was thriving, we were physically fit, traveled and became the people that Lilly admired. Lilly is one of their 21 grandchildren. Our life is not perfect …no one’s is but by all measures we are successful.
Sherry says they achieved these things when many do not because there were three things going for them. We loved each other completely. We adored our little family and We trusted God. We also read the book called See You at the Top by Zig Ziglar and learned a few things about success. When asked how he was. Zig Ziglar always responded, “Outstanding But I am always improving.”
The full formula for happiness looks like this: Contentment + Progress = Happiness Contentment with yourself is necessary for change because we absolutely need a strong self-image to know we are capable and deserving of the best life has to offer. Sherry always believed that even after giving up the wild lifestyle of drugs sex and rock and roll. She also began considering spiritual things more seriously.
Sheryl in her new book A New Life Awaits addresses happiness in many ways and writes, “The focus has too long been simple “happiness.” Some people will do anything to ensure their own happiness. Happiness is however, the result of a purposeful life and a realization of our human and spiritual qualities. Chaney Weiner, author of Because This is Your Life, writes, “You are here to do amazing things in your life because you are a special person who has something of tremendous value to contribute to the world that is based on what is most important to you…Do what inspires you most; don’t let other people be a dark cloud that stops you from realizing the glowing truth that’s responsible in uncovering the magnificence of who you are; and don’t give up, don’t ever give up.
Sheryl also wrote, “Each of us, I have discovered, has a specific unique destiny, experiences, and challenges that are included in a life plan or itinerary that comes into this world with us at conception. At conception, the soul part of life merges with physical body for the ultimate purpose of exploring our divine potential. I was reminded recently that true happiness can only be found by understanding our true worth as divine beings having a physical life. When we are able to discern our part in the process of creating happiness for ourselves and others, we will also recognize that the instinctual need to grow and put forth our presence in the world is really our reason for being!”
We might ask what is necessary to achieve the drive for progression and can contentment be part of that goal or drive. It may appear at first that contentment and the drive for progression cannot coexist in the same individual, but like many of life’s ironies, they are not only compatible but are necessary to one another. The real enemy of contentment is stagnation. It is easy to confuse contentment with complacency. Complacency is the enemy of progress. A static life breeds discontent and restlessness, not contentment or happiness.
What do we think of teachers? We might think of teachers who in their heart are not a teacher by training but by an inner passion.
The progression of becoming a teacher:
- Learn something valuable
- Practice it until you become successful.
- Teach it to other.
Sheryl says that she remembers when she had her first Reiki 1 Energy Healing Attunement at the Institute for Research and Enlightenment in New York City. At the end of the weekend training she asked her partner, a Reverend from Barbados what she was to do with this knowledge and healing practice and he said, “You will teach it.” And in time that’s exactly what Sheryl did. She wrote about it ,taught it to many students ,and followed her life plan which was to share the ancient healing art and awareness of Universal Source that life is eternal and we are spiritual beings having a physical life in order to love and learn and enrich ourselves and those we share time with.
Remember as Sherry says “When one teaches, two learn.” She writes that there are six things required before anyone can make large strides forward in their own personal development and enjoy the happIiness that is the companion to progress:
- Know change is possible
- Be accountable for current circumstances
- Have a desire to change.
- Educate about change
- Apply that knowledge
- Stay committed.
Many people have been conditioned to believe what they want is unattainable. This self-limiting belief impedes their efforts to progress and thereby stunts their opportunity for increased happiness.
Sherry writes, “In 2009 I opened a boutique fitness business called FitMania. We had three locations and hundreds of clients over the nine years I spent running the business. I would frequently have clients, or potential clients, in my office who desperately wanted to be lean and strong, but could not believe it was possible for them. There were plenty of people in the program who started in similar situations and were achieving their goals. That should have been evidence enough, but even after seeing the results too many still did not believe.
It was necessary to ask questions like:
- What have you been conditioned to believe about your body that holds you back?
- What have you been conditioned to believe about your earning potential?
- What are you conditioned to believe about relationships?
- What are you conditioned to believe about your intellect that holds you back?
- What have you been conditioned to believe about yourself that holds you back?
- Everyone of us can do more and be more than we think we can.
- Don’t be held back by false beliefs about yourself?
- Is there an upside to having a victim mentality? There is an upside to having a victim mentality. The benefit of being a victim may include the satisfaction of being right, getting attention, validation for your suffering from well-meaning people and having a built – in excuse for not taking control of your own life. Yes, it has a payoff and it is addictive but it is shallow compensation for all that you lose.Example: There is a deep hole in the sidewalk…You fall in one, two three times and it takes forever to find a way out. Finally you walk around it after many failed efforts and decide to walk down another street. You have learned from the experience and ended your victimhood by moving to accountability.
Sherry tells us and this might be true for most of us that while the circumstances of her parents divorce moved many times and having a father who was a dreamer instead of hurting her may actually fit her life plan and needs and she found good in it and liked herself in the process. Every experience molds us but liking ourselves and embracing our challenges gives us the autonomy to think our own thoughts and live our own way. If you don’t like who you are go to work and become someone you can be proud of.
Sherry You give nine simple power phrases to keep you motivated. Use them liberally!
- What you think about expands.
- You can always do more than you think you can.
- If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.
- Staying strong in the middle is a life skill.
- Finishing strong is a life skill.
- No excuses.
- Never give up.
- No regrets.
- Remember your why.
Sherry tells her story of her wanting to change the world. Getting a grip on the physical self is critical to all personal development and she felt the world needed new ways of thinking about food and exercise. She says that for most people the pain isn’t their health or even how they look to other people. It is the pain from looking in the mirror and knowing the image they see doesn’t reflect who they are on the inside. Sherry goes on to say that she felt if she could teach a few hundred people how to gain a new perspective on themselves and life and if each of those people influenced the lives of a few people and then these few influenced a few more then we could change the world. It was only as Steve Jobs put it, a “dent in the universe,” but the world is different because of my efforts. That is why it is important to remember the first step of your own awakening and remember your why?
Sherry might like readers of Life Mastery to remember their Big Dreams List In order to expand your Why increase level of happiness and keep focused on developing daily habits, setting and accomplishing goals, and dealing with failure. You must expand your Why to make it so compelling you can’t bear to quit and then stay focused on that Why so failure is never an option. There are some fortunate people who seem to be born knowing their Why but most of us will have to work on discovering our own.
Sherry encourages her Life Mastery clients to compile fifty items on their Big Dreams list before proceeding to the next skill. She discusses John Goddard who wrote his list when he was fifteen. The list included items from learning to type on a keyboard to climbing Mt. Everest. When he was fifteen he told Life Magazine “ all the adults I knew seemed to complain, Oh, if only I’d done this or that when I was younger. They had let life slip by them. Goddard was sure he could have a life of excitement and of fun and knowledge. As a teenager he wrote over 127 goals and he ended up accomplishing over 100 of those original goals. He explored rivers like the Nile and the Congo, climbed mountains learned to play musical instruments composed music, studied primitive cultures, became an accomplished typist, taught college courses, became an Eagle Scout, served a mission for his church, married and had children and maintained a weight of 175 pounds all his life. One of the items on his list was to live into the twenty-first century and he died in 2013 having lived a full life with, we assume, very few regrets.
We thank Sherry Stirling Fernandez, author of Life Mastery for sharing ways to recognize our personal power and means to improve all aspects of life through attitude, education, acceptance and allowing the best of our spiritual gifts to move through us and guide us to our best version of ourselves. www.LifeMasteryInfo.com
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From we have explored the purpose of life which is to be happy and to find within us the power to create and manifest our most balanced and purposeful lifestyle which allows for love family prosperity health and a means to explore the world nature relationships in a way that provides deep gratitude and acceptance of life in all its unfolding dimensions and realities.
Sherry tells us that when she told her Dad about her new adventure, he was incredulous. He asked Sherry why she would want to start a business at this point in her life. He expressed his strong opinion that she had worked hard and should drive around in her convertible, play with her grandchildren and enjoy an easy life.
Sherry writes, “There were many reasons I couldn’t do that. The first is that I have a need to build and nurture. The second and more important reason is I have a mission. I believe strongly in the potential of humans and I believe I have the ability to empower people to reach out and grow toward that potential. My mission was clear because twenty -five years earlier, after much consideration, I wrote my Mission Statement. I had been using it to help me make decisions for all of those years. This is my Mission Statement: I use all the knowledge, wisdom and personal power I possess to empower others in their personal progression toward their infinite potential.
Sherry and I would have our listeners remember their childhood and the dreams and desires they expressed in their beds before going to sleep and then remember how many seemed just so big bold and undoable but we tell you those thoughts were not random: they came from deep within in you from your soul memory and there are many souls or people around you only waiting to see you rekindle the spark to excel and shine, with joy and light, and to fulfil your wildest dreams. It is all within reach when you ask for help you may discover who you are as a divine soul of potential and possibility!

Using this quote as my springboard for today’s discussion and the following statistics I think will blow your mind. Here are some statistics from Gallop for 2022. Note here that the new survey will be coming out mid 2023 but these stats are worth sharing for now.
The 2022 data is something all businesses and leaders should be addressing:
– “19% miserable
– Only 21% engaged.
– 33% are thriving in their overall well-being.
– 7 trillion lost in productivity world-wide.”
Today my guest, Jeanine Thompson and we are going to dig in and explore how this is impacting productivity and organizational results.

During the past week May 28 to June 3, 2023, several news stories focused on the attacks on our American traditional liberties as civil rights. It is becoming clear that promises made by Barack Obama, aka. Barry Soreto, to fundamentally change America, has stepped up the attacks on white people of faith, particularly men. The Biden administration has weaponized the police powers of the leviathan bureaucracy to punish the opposition for resisting the assault on our Judeo-Christian values of our American Republic.
Join me as I discuss the benefits of “Drop-In Mindfulness Practice.” This practice was introduced to me by Gina Biegal in her Stress Teen Instructor Certification program. Drop-In practices are slightly different from formal ones, such as body scans. Drop-In Practices are done anywhere at any time. The Drop-In Practice technique involves pausing and paying attention to your breath, body, and mind. For example, last week, I shared a discussion with you on the US Surgeon General’s report on the risks of social media use for teenagers. The take-awake message from my podcast last week was to be mindful and aware of the effects of social media on teens. Do a Drop-In Practice while you are browsing social media. This applies to teens and adults. Be aware of what’s going on with your brain, body, and breath before engaging on social media and then after engaging on social media. Bring you awareness of your emotions, your breathing, and physical tensions. During this episode, I guide you through a Drop-In Mindfulness Practice. Notice how we become more mindful of their body, breath, and mind during this activity.
Participating in a Drop-In practice motivates us to sustain mindfulness practice throughout our day. We do not need to wait to get into a particular position or check in at a studio. The Drop-In method supports Transition Awareness Breathing goals to practice mindfulness throughout daily transitions. Please join me as I share more about the uniqueness of Transition Awareness Breathing.

Having a Culture of Commitment is not a nicety. it is a necessity for ongoing organizational success. It is good business.
When conducting workshops on emotional intelligence I often ask how many emotions people can claim to have fully experienced. Surprisingly, the average across all groups is SIX. In other words, Most of us do not have a working vocabulary of emotions. Generally speaking, it is because emotions are complex things that are a combination of thoughts and beliefs weighed against our mind’s projections. Usually we only experience our emotions as feelings or sensations in our bodies. Learning how to reverse engineer emotions from the feeling state we perceive can help us get to the root cause of our beliefs and thoughts behind the emotion.

Psychosocial Political Dysfunction of the Republican Party
The Author
Dr Daniel Brubaker is an American author who presently resides in the US state of California. He grew up on a farm in Lancaster County Pennsylvania among the Amish and Mennonites.
His father was a horticulturist, and the farm produce was sold at local farmer’s markets as well as being exhibited at nearby fairs.
The family tree has been traced back to the reformation in Lake Zurich Switzerland. As an Aa-Baptists the family faced unimaginable persecution and death at the hands of the then Catholic community, so much so the family were forced to flee across the border into neighbouring Germany where again as a family they had to endure the religious years of the 1600s. Finally, the family emigrated to America in 1701 encountering all the perils that went with travel at that time, particularly the treacherous sea passage across the Atlantic no doubt like many seeking a better life in the Americas they would have travelled third class in the boat’s hold tolerating endemic sickness. Many never made it to America they simply died trying. Dr Daniel Brubaker is a tenth generation American.
Dr Daniel was educated in Pennsylvania. After medical school he did a post-graduate training at the University of Pittsburgh Health Centre. While he was there, he went about doing his own research and published five papers in medical journals. The University at the time had an explorer’s club where he learnt to both rock and ice climb, his most memorable climbs were in 1979 when he climbed Mt McKinley in Alaska and 1989 when he ascended Mt Rainer in Washington State. Dr Brubaker also likes to include cross country and alpine skiing in his repertoire of outdoor pursuits along with sea kayaking, mountain biking, fly fishing and photography.
In 2004 Dr Daniel went to Tibet, or to be more precise these days the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China to look at traditional Tibetan medicines and their practices. He published his first book ‘Endless Time,’ a photo documentary with Buddhist verses.
Finally, Dr Brubaker published in medical journals and textbooks his findings of a new medical disease, he calls Post-Transfusion Graft- Versus -Host Disease.
The Book
Dr Brubaker’s book explores the thought that the Republican Party known as the Grand Old Party has somehow drifted from its original political concepts of unification established in the Lincoln era, and that it is no longer able to properly separate core fundamental facts from fiction, deceptive conjectures and outright untruths. In his censorious dissection Dr Brubaker refers to the behaviour of some republicans within the GOP as childlike and even goes as far to say that he believes that some of those at the top of the party have antisocial personality disorders.
When you look at the book you get a clear sense that Dr Brubaker firmly believes that there are those in the party who are unable to separate socialism from pragmatic utilitarianism,and that they are as he describes’ buzzwords’ to instil fear in Americans about the Democrats.
What I found fascinating was how Dr Brubaker explored the neuropsychological development of young children to try to explain how some in the GOP function themselves, particularly in Public. And of course, he looks at how as he puts it a ‘clinically psychopathic’ president usurped the whole process using crowd psychology. Which president was that! well I let you all figure that out for yourselves when you read the book. Check out the video chat here:
https://youtu.be/bgpg8jIPpQgThere are ten chapters in this phenomenon book, it would be fair to say that this book is not a cuddly bedtime read, it was never written to be that it is a book to make you stop and think. Now whether you agree or not with Dr Brubaker’s thinking’s that’s for you to decide. For me out of all the Chapters the following stood out:
Chapter 1: Republicans Confusion in Differentiating Fact versus Fiction
Chapter 2: Republicans Behave Like Toddlers
Chapter 5: Understanding Crowd and Herd Psychology
Chapter 8: Psychology of President Donald Trump
Chapter 9: Summation of the Psychosocial Dysfunction of the Republican Party
Enjoy the Book for Dr Brubaker has some interesting thoughts to ponder over.

Through many years of success and failures, I have learned that I always needed to keep putting one foot before the other! Moving forward has always created new opportunities because I was open to receiving and in motion, so pivoting was much easier than constantly trying to come up with the next perfect step. There is no ideal step, only steps forward into growth.
In my times of transition, the transformation, no matter how difficult, has brought new experiences, growth, and magic into my life.
I look forward to my conversation today with my friend and brilliant guest, Mark Aylward, about career transition and other ways to pivot and grow in our careers and business.
About Mark Aylward:
Mark and I will discuss his 30+ years as a staffing expert and business owner. Mark is a single father of three beautiful adult children. A proud University of Notre Dame graduate with a Marketing degree, a lifelong entrepreneur and staffing expert who has built and sold two staffing firms.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of the newest book in my trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shows us that our challenges are not economic political or societal but a deep disconnect from our inner soul wisdom and life force. I am delighted today to welcome Dick Larson will discuss the biggest event taking place in the world—the emergence of Maitreya the World Teacher to help mankind to once again remember who they are and how they can end this time of trauma for the world which is in the throes of a world pandemic, struggling economies and people separated from each other and the wholesome life enhancing universal values of cooperation and sharing.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware, Sheryl and her esteemed guests share intimate, sometimes unusual events and stories and insights which in a metaphysical sense show us that we are spiritual beings having a physical life, in alignment to the duality of physical life and both the spiritual and physical energies, which ultimately when understood, and merged, produce the ability to live miraculous lives leading to well being happiness, hope, joy and love. Of course it is necessary to remain open minded and open hearted for new ideas and thinking to come into minds filled with belief systems and habits acquired during a lifetime of influences imprinted on each individual through family and social mores.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Dick Larson will tell us about Maitreya the World Teacher who has returned to show humanity the way. Sharing with us also, interesting insights into the work of Maitreya history and his group known as the Masters of Wisdom, equally divine and perfected Men, who have likewise returned to the everyday world to help humanity in the great changes and challenges facing mankind right now. We will discuss the group who has come with him known as the Masters of Wisdom and why they are working to help humanity to express oneness, achieve unity (in diversity) and equilibrium finding the transition point from upheaval and turmoil to cooperation and sharing which is a set of priorities Maitreya has to rebalance society and our planet. Maitreya’s advice will bring humanity to a simple choice.
When Dick is asked to think back to their childhood and remember a person, place or event which may have shown him what lifestyle and interests he would pursue as an adult he tells us he always loved his family church and thought he would be a preacher or minister. Wishing to help people his mind and heart were open to seeing the world beyond the limitations of the ego and as a result became aware of many forms of life both here and beyond the physical world and Earth.
Dick goes on to tell us about Maitreya, who he is, where he comes from, and why a World Teacher comes now. Maitreya is the embodiment of what we call the Christ Principle, the energy of Love. Maitreya is so advanced, so pure, He can embody in His own being, and not simply channel, the energy of Love, the second aspect of God. Through Jesus, He showed the Love of God in its perfection in a man for the first time, just as through the Prince Gautama, the Buddha showed the Wisdom aspect of God in its perfection in a man for the first time.
Now, for the first time in history, the Teacher has come into the world Himself. Maitreya is the head and leader of His group of disciples, the Masters of Wisdom, and holds the office of World Teacher. He has held this office for the last 2,000 years, appearing through Jesus, and will be the World Teacher for this coming age, the age of Aquarius, which is now beginning and will last about 2,350 to 2,500 years.
For thousands of years, Maitreya has lived in a retreat in the high Himalaya. But Maitreya arrived in the everyday world — He has never been away from the world but July 19, 1977 was his physical emergence into the world once again. On July 8, Maitreya descended from His mountain retreat in a self-made body, constructed especially for this mission in the world. This body allows Him to live at our level of existence, and at the same time be sensitive enough to bring in His consciousness as the World Teacher. Maitreya stayed on the plains in Pakistan for some days to acclimatize that body, and on July 19 came by plane into London, England. He has made the Asian community of London what He calls His point of focus in the modern world.
Maitreya’s advice will bring humanity to a simple choice between two lines of action: to ignore His recommendations and continue in our present mode of life, and so face self-destruction; or to accept gladly His counsel to inaugurate a system of sharing and justice which will guarantee a peaceful and prosperous future for humanity, and the creation of a civilization based on the inner divinity of all men. Maitreya is in no doubt of the choice we will make and looks forward to the open continuation of His mission on our behalf.
Maitreya has a set of priorities: food, shelter, health care, and shelter for all people, and the restoration of the environment to health. The achievement of these priorities rests on shifting our socio-economic structures away from competition and toward cooperation and sharing. Maitreya will advocate a crash program of aid—a global Marshal Plan—to end the worst elements of poverty. He will advocate the creation of an office of the UN for the redistribution of resources. All countries will make an inventory of resources (natural, technological, scientific etc.) and what they need. Anything in excess of their needs will be fairly distributed to any nation that is lacking that resource . Maitreya’s message is simple: we are all brothers and only by equitably sharing the world’s bountiful resources among all people will we manifest love, justice, freedom, unity and brotherhood? Dick Larson shares where he gets his information from and why we should believe him. He gets a good deal of his information from the book by Benjamin Crème, who details the planned return of our planetary Hierarchy and the descent of Maitreya from His Himalayan retreat in July 1977 and of His work in the world, albeit behind the scenes, since then. The book speaks to the enormous changes that His presence has brought about; of His plans and projects, and His priorities and recommendations in the immediate future time. It shows Him as a great and powerful Avatar and, at the same time, as a friend and brother of humanity. Maitreya’s advice will bring humanity to a simple choice between two lines of action: to ignore His recommendations and continue in our present mode of life, and so face self-destruction; or to accept gladly His counsel to inaugurate a system of sharing and justice which will guarantee a peaceful and prosperous future for humanity, and the creation of a civilization based on the inner divinity of all men. Maitreya is in no doubt of the choice we will make and looks forward to the open continuation of His mission on our behalf. (Benjamin Creme London, March 2007).
Maitreya does not come alone. Fortunately, Sheryl does not believe that we are alone, or have ever been alone, without help, without guidance. There has stood behind humanity, from the earliest days of its existence, a group of men of extraordinary insight and wisdom, called the Masters of Wisdom, the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet. The Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy This group of men have gone ahead of us in evolution. They have come to a point where they need no further incarnational experience on Earth, but nevertheless, they remain to act as a kind of inner government of the world. The Masters are the Custodians of the Plan of evolution that is driving humanity forward and upward, whether we are aware of it or not. They have brought humanity from the stage of early animal man and woman to the point where we are today — guiding, protecting and stimulating the evolutionary advance of all people. Sometimes they have worked more openly, but for the last 98,000 years, with very few exceptions, they, have lived in the remote mountain and desert areas of the world, such as the Himalaya, the Andes, the Rockies, the Carpathians, the Urals, and the Gobi Desert and other deserts. From these mountain and desert areas, working mainly through their disciples, men and women in the world, they have guided humanity along the evolutionary path with their love and wisdom.
For over 500 years the Masters have known that sooner or later they would be required to come back into the everyday world, known to us for what They are. This pertains to their own evolution, quite separate from human evolution. The only question was when humanity would be ready for the return to the everyday world of such spiritual giants. Until relatively recently, it was thought it would probably be 1,200 or 1,300 years yet before we would be ready to receive men of that kind of spiritual potency into our everyday world. But in June 1945, at the end of the Second World War, Maitreya, the head and leader of that group of perfected men, announced His decision to return at the earliest possible moment into the world, along with a large number of His group. Maitreya said that He would come when a measure of peace 6 had been established in the world, when the energy we call goodwill, which the Masters see as the lowest aspect of love, was manifesting and leading to the establishment of correct human relationships, and when the religious and political groups were putting their houses in order. These conditions did not have to be perfectly met, but when our minds were at least moving in these directions, Maitreya said that He would come without fail at the earliest possible moment.
The coming of Maitreya was foretold 2,600 years ago by Gautama Buddha, who said that at this time would come another great teacher, a Buddha like Himself by the name Maitreya, who by dint of His colossal spiritual stature, would galvanize and inspire humanity to create a brilliant golden civilization based, as He put it, on righteousness and truth.
The following article is edited from Benjamin Creme’s public lectures in Tokyo in 2003 and in Osaka in 2006, and presents an overview of the emergence of the World Teacher and the Masters of Wisdom. Much of what Benjamin Crème has to say is already known, or if not known, easily available. Beginning in 1875, some of this information has already been published in books translated into many languages, and is available to anyone who takes the trouble to read them. The great disciple, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society, began the dissemination of this information. She lived for three years in the Himalayan mountains with the Masters of Whom Benjamin speaks of. Her work was followed in 1924 by that of another great Russian disciple, Helena Roerich, through whom the Agni Yoga teachings were given to the world, and by a great English disciple, Alice A. Bailey, between 1919 and 1949.
Benjamin Creme writes, “I have been able to bring these teachings up to date, to show what is actually happening in the process of the return of the Masters to the everyday world. It is from my own personal experiences and contacts that I make these assertions. But I am not asking you to believe me. I am simply presenting my information to you for your consideration. If it appears to you to be reasonable and rational, if it seems to relate to present events, the happenings of the world that are taking place and have been for many years, if in a word it has for you the ring of truth, then by all means believe it, but otherwise not. I am perfectly conscious that much of this information will appear strange and perhaps unbelievable to some of you. If that is the case, please be assured that I shall not be the slightest bit offended or even disappointed. But if this information at least allows you to hope for a better future for yourself and your children, I shall be perfectly satisfied.”
Dick shares with us what he believes is a spiritual master. A spiritual master is someone who has stepped out of the confines and attachment to the world. Their interests in the concerns that are taught to be essential (romance making money having a great social network etc) are few to non-existent. Their interests tend to focus on what is nourishing, what is healing, and what is real. So if you ever happened to run into a spiritual master staring for long period of time at a field of unfolding sunflowers, this may not make sense to you because social conditioning has taught you that this is unimportant and that you should overlook it and otherwise assume that this blooming would always happen. But the spiritual master assumes nothing and embraces each moment as a beautiful unveiling and unfolding which will never happen quite like it ever again.
Dick is asked that assuming that what he says is true does it mean the end of the world? And why is there so much chaos/turmoil and lack of the divine human values taught by all religions?
Dick tells us that what the world needs now is the removal of fear and the renewal of hope. We are going through one of the greatest periods of tension since the end of the Cold War. This particular phase of tension and crisis began on 11 September 2001. On that day, an attack by foreign terrorists took place on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, DC, as well as a foiled attack on the White House. It was an attack not only on America, but on American power, represented by the Pentagon and the White House, and the major industrial nations of the world through the attack on the World Trade Center. That terrible, dramatic attack took America and the entire world by surprise and shock. The world has been in a state of shock ever since. But I suggest it should not have taken the world so much by surprise. It was one of the most daring, most audacious and most organized of many such attacks on the Western world. That attack resulted in an attack on Afghanistan in which more ordinary, innocent citizens of Afghanistan were killed than were killed in the World Trade Center on 11 September. This was followed by the American and British attack on Iraq, and the continuing occupation in which hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens have also lost their lives. The American, British and other governments have not recognized that the attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and the foiled attack on the White House, have a cause. It is the effect of a cause.
In other words, it is karmic. It is the result of the Law of Karma, the Law of Cause and Effect. The cause is complex, but put very simply, it is the extreme difference in living standards between the developed Western world and the developing world. One-third of the world — mainly America, Europe, Japan, Australia, and Canada — usurp and greedily waste three-quarters of the world’s food, and some 83 per cent of all other resources
For the last 2,150 years that alignment was with the constellation Pisces. We have been in the age of Pisces, and that age has come to an end. The sun has moved away from the sphere of influence of the energies of Pisces and is entering the same relationship with the constellation Aquarius, and therefore, with the energies of Aquarius. The energies of Pisces began to be withdrawn in 1625. The energies of Aquarius 8 began to come in and affect our planet in 1675. Today there is a kind of balance. The energies of Pisces and the energies of Aquarius are, as far as we are concerned, more or less equal, and that is our problem. The energies of Pisces are being withdrawn and have left all the structures that were built under their influence: political, economic, religious, social, scientific, educational, cultural and so on. All these structures have become crystallized. They are extant, but they no longer have the energy that brought them into being, so they do not work anymore. As we have responded to the energies of Pisces, they have completely split the world into tiny fragmented parts. The energies of Aquarius, which are mounting in potency with every day that passes, work on us in a very different way. They have a completely different effect on humanity. They are the energies of synthesis. As the energies of Pisces have divided the world, the energies of Aquarius will draw humanity together, blending and fusing humanity into one group
We will recognize him and know he is the World Teacher and what does he share about the future of our life on Earth and can we help also?
Dick and Sheryl discuss how the awareness of UFO’s fit into the work of Maitreya and If so where did they come from and why are they here? Dick tells us that there is life on Mars and Venus and that those beings have evolved beyond the physical and are in etheric form or energy beings and that’s why unless you have the ability to see spirit they are not visible to you. Dick tells us they are highly advanced life and are here on Earth helping to clean up the environment from within and again only visible to us if they choose to make their presence known. Dick calls them our brothers and sisters and says they do not like to be called Aliens.
Sheryl says that in her new book A New Life Awaits; Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening she writes about some of the guests who were on her radio podcast show who have had experiences with extraterrestrials. She herself had an encounter over 20 years ago that made her realize life was not exactly what she had always thought it to be. One of the people Sheryl met at a spiritual convention in Arizona was Victoria who told Sheryl she had been encountering guidance from extraterrestrials since she was a child. Sheryl asked if she found them to be friendly and what they looked like. Yes, they were friendly, and they looked like her: blonde, quiet, and calm. They were here, as was she, to help humanity. Thinking about it, aren’t we all ETs? Our spirit and soul come from a higher plane of energy, or star dust, and combine with a physical body. Some light workers are here to improve the human condition. Others are here mainly for earthly or physical experience, but we are all Spirit. I might have been slightly judgmental when listening to Victoria describe she was connecting to extraterrestrial light beings but was it so out of the ordinary? Years ago, I would have totally freaked out at such an announcement, but since I know all is illusion in this physical world, I cannot say one way or the other whether there is truth or falseness in this woman’s claim.
Sheryl wrote, “I realize that over the last few years, I have interviewed a group of scientists exploring infinite possibilities for life beyond what we can know in this three-dimensional world and have been amazed to listen to extraterrestrial stories in a more open-minded fashion. I have interviewed many notable guests who are exploring the extraterrestrial phenomenon. Robert Salas, author of Unidentified: The UFO Phenomenon and a graduate of the USAF Academy with a degree in Aerospace Engineering, now retired from the Air Force, offers extensive testimony and documentation by military officers and airmen of their eyewitness accounts of UFO occurrences, alien abductions, and threats to military installation.
Another guest on my internet radio show, Healing From Within, was Betty Andreasson, a warm and everyday kind of individual who was studied extensively by government agencies for her remarkable drawings and descriptions of her 1967 abduction by what she described as entities who made her feel they were friendly and peaceful. Still another wonderful guest was Ted Peters, author of UFOs: God’s Chariots?, who has spent a lifetime exploring the many events and reports worldwide by people who have experienced interactions with higher beings. Most recently, I have interviewed Nancy Du Tertre, author of How to Talk to an Alien. As the other guests, her credentials and credibility are impeccable. “
Bill tells us why extraterrestrials make the crop circles that are seen around the world and what is their spiritual mission here? The crop circles are markers for these extraordinary exterrestrials to send light waves to help balance the damage done to earth over centuries of abuse of resources by humans. It is very important for Earth to restore itself and these advanced souls are helping in that area of restoration.
Sheryl says that there was a movie “Signs” with Mel Gibson whose character lived in a rural area and the crop circles were on his land so there is awareness of UFO’s and governments around the world have much documentation of this phenomenon.
Sheryl has interviewed many guests military officers college professors and Barbara Anderson who was abducted years ago. who have shown compelling evidence of the proof of UFO’s If you go to her website www.sherylglick.com you can check out several of those guests?
Dick tells us his view of the Covid virus pandemic is different from much that we hear in the news and why there are earthquakes, floods, wars , pollution and social discord. These are called acts of nature, acts of God. But they are in this case a result of the Law of Karma. The crisis that manifested itself as the SARS infection in China and elsewhere, for example, the epidemics of flu throughout Europe, are the direct results of the fear generated from the crisis conditions set up by the US attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq. It is not a question of God punishing the aggressor. It is a simple law of the interconnectedness of all atoms in the universe. What happens here sets up something that will inevitably happen elsewhere by the law of action and reaction. When humanity truly understands this law, the Law of Karma, not just as an intellectual idea, it will see that every thought, every action, sets into motion a cause or causes. The effects stemming from these causes make our lives good or ill. The need for harmlessness in every action in our lives becomes apparent. When we act, we have to know what the result of this action could be. If the action is destructive, it produces destruction in the world. If the action is not destructive, if it is creative, if it is harmless, it creates harmlessness, it creates good in the world. We have our evolution in our own hands. We are responsible. Every act, every thought is part of the thoughts and actions of all humanity, and affects all humanity. We cannot imagine how far our thought proceeds before it returns as the reaction to a cause. When humanity’s thoughts and actions are destructive, when we create thoughtforms of destruction, attack, killing and fear, we generate thereby thoughtforms that impinge on the forces of nature. These forces are under the control of the device or angelic evolutions. They go out of equilibrium as we are out of equilibrium, and earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, typhoons are the results.
Dick would like readers to take away with them after learning about Maitreya’s hopes for humanity that Humanity needs above all to establish peace. Without peace there will be no future for humanity because we have the nuclear capacity to destroy the world and all life, human and subhuman alike. How do we get peace? That is the essential question. Certainly not using the methods of the American and British governments in recent times when they attack one country after another. That is certainly not going to give peace to the world. It will not even end terrorism in the world. There will never be an end to terrorism until the world itself has changed. Only one thing will create peace and the end of terrorism — the creation of a JUST world. If there is no justice, there will never be peace. If there is no justice, there is no hope for any of us because everybody in the world will die unless we establish justice in the world.
There is only one way to establish justice and that is to share the resources of the world more equitably. It is so simple and yet we refrain from doing it. Without sharing there will never be justice. Without justice there will never be peace. Without peace there is no future for us. So what do we have to do? The developed nations have to realize that the world’s food and resources belong to everyone, are given by divine providence for all the peoples of the world, not just the developed nations who have the money to buy the food and resources. They have the money to buy because they are more advanced technologically, more advanced in industry perhaps. But the goods they produce do not give value to the resources and activities of the people of the Third World. This approach is cavalier, dishonest, greedy and selfish, and has to change, otherwise there is no future for the world. The Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy have plans for the redistribution of the world’s resources, which will be presented as soon as humanity says: “You are right. We believe that the only way is by sharing better resources. How do we do it?
We thank Dick Larson for sharing his knowledge of Maitreya and his Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy who are here at this time in human history to help us move past these difficult times to raise the vibration of souls to a higher level of awareness and consciousness of the true nature of life and to find peace cooperation, to save humanity, and our precious planet Earth.
In summarizing today’s very interesting and futuristic look at the spiritual help that will and is being provided by spiritual teachers like Maitreya and his Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy we come to think about and hopefully know that we are spiritual beings having a physical life enabling us to refine our soul eternal life force through experiences in a world that offers many challenges and opportunities to learn and love becoming aware of all that is that is often forgotten by souls as they incarnate into a new physical life. Dick tells us the time is coming when Maitreya will be known by the world and in Benjamin Crème’s book he writes “The United States and European stock markets have been going up and down, up and down, but do not actually follow through as they have done in Japan. Maitreya is waiting for the collapse of the US and European economies to come forward, to present Himself to the world, to start His public teaching. But events in the world are so critical, with so much tension and fear, that Maitreya is concerned to come forward as soon as possible. He is taking every opportunity to present Himself closer and closer to the groups who are working for the Reappearance but also on a wider scale to the people in the world. He talks to people at all levels, ordinary people and those most useful at every level — political, economic, social, scientific, educational, and so on — people who can help the world, who have influence for good in the world. In this way He has built up a great body of people who in the immediate future will begin the changes necessary to transform the world for the better. When Maitreya comes forward, He will not at first use the name Maitreya. He will present Himself as an ordinary person, although, of course, an extraordinary person. He will appear at first in America on television on a large network, and then 14 in Japan and around the world. He will become known for His analysis of the world’s needs. Look for a man who is calling for justice for all the world, freedom for all the world.
Maitreya is omniscient and omnipresent, and everyone above the age of 14 will hear His words, His thoughts, His ideas inwardly, silently, telepathically in their own language. As you are watching this face, His lips will not move, He will not speak, but His ideas will come into your mind. The French will hear Him in French, the Germans in German, the English in English, the Dutch in Dutch, the Japanese in Japanese, and so on throughout the world. Whatever you are doing, if you are out fishing or under the car, if you are not watching television, you will still hear the voice, the thoughts, the ideas of Maitreya inwardly. This miracle is a repetition, only now on a world scale, of the true happenings of Pentecost 2,000 years ago.
Maitreya will give a short history of the long history of the world, and show the height from which humanity has fallen into the materialism of today. He will introduce the fact of His group, the Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters. He will show the future, and outline some of the extraordinary scientific marvels that will open up new life for humanity. He will make His appeal for justice, for sharing as the only way to justice, and so to peace in the world.
Sheryl Glick host of Healing From Within and author of her newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening perhaps like so many healers mediums and spiritual teachers working to prepare the world for a great teacher like Maitreya and all the Masters of Wisdom Teachers who love humanity and work towards our awakening process.

Today’s Guest
https://www.shareinternationalsocal.org/
Using awareness in our families means paying attention to influencers that interact within our family’s world. As social media platforms have grown so much that data is now, many teens spend more than three hours online daily. The symptom which sparked the concern, I believe, is the increased risk of youth depression and anxiety. Resources indicate that teens and adults find acceptance in social groups that support the teen or adult social identity. A May 2023 Surgeon General has released data indicating how social media contributes to depression and anxiety in teens. Join me in this TAB podcast as I share some information with you. You can find the details in the link(https://www.statnews.com/2023/05/23/social-media-youth-mental-health/)
Often during this series I have used the word “perspective.” Perhaps I am especially focused on this because we just had a sudden death in our family. One of those deaths that has changed everything in so many ways. Not to worry – this podcast is not going to be about death or my personal experience these last few weeks.
Because, even the smallest things need to be put into perspective or we can get stuck on them like bath water swirling down the drain.
So how do we rise above it all? Sometimes we feel guilty if we don’t focus on something that has happened. We fear that it sends the message that we don’t care.
Sometimes we are afraid to face those skeletons in the closet. We sense that will create confusion that will only make things worse.
Different circumstances call for different strategies. Let’s explore some of those strategies.
Our hosts explore the fascinating journey of writing for young adults and mature adults and the techniques and unique challenges that go into crafting a story while keeping the delicate balance of creativity, language and plot which captivate both audiences.
Connie’s motivational quote today is by Stephen Covey “Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.”
Do you have any bad habits? Come on, you know what I am talking about! If we know what is considered a good versus a bad habit, why do we still have so many that often seem to be out of control. What if I told you there is an almost foolproof way to really change up your behavior patterns – Do I have your attention?? Is this even possible?
Today James Clear and I are going to discuss his book Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones. We are going to break down how to actually change or form a habit that will stick.

In this extra, the Crone talks about how you can add some daily “Magickal” practices and reminders to your daily life to grow your spiritual practice. She talkies about what a Daily Practice might or might not look like, offers some suggestions of things you could try, and ends with a reminder that none of us is perfect so not starting one if you don’t want to is always an option is skipping a day(s) if you want as well.
This session introduces a new distinction in creating a life worth living – emotional awareness. For many of us the ailments of society (with its divisiveness and violence) have caused us to numb out. And yet, understanding and tapping into our ability to experience our emotions as vital sources of information is more important than ever. The discussion outlines some of the key distinctions of emotional awareness and emotional intelligence and some of the topics we will cover in the coming sessions.

Your health is important so today we are going to Grip Life to its fullest by addressing the seven health elements outlined by Dr. Elizabeth W. Grubbs in her book Grip Life.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
So…how you doin’? How’s your health?
Last week I was having one of those days, you know the kind. Nothing was going right and someone said to me “well, at least you have your health” and you know…as much of a cliche as that is there is a lot of truth in it.
Good health is something to be grateful for. At the very least it’s a lot cheaper to be healthy. Trust me on that. My son is a Diabetic. So today we are going to examine the different aspects of health because according to Dr. Grubbs author of the book Grip Life, there are seven of them and the first one is the most obvious, Physical Health.
Dr. Grubbs – Physical health can be movement for just about any age because you can do low level exercises if you’re over sixty-five or seventy or what have you. Physical health can certainly relieve stress and it has to do with body wellness. Some people use physical health to maintain their weight.
One of the areas we tend to take for granted in this country is Mental Health. Poor mental health is a medical condition and we should treat is just like our physical health. It’s too often ignored. There are lots of reasons for that, I’m guessing it’s because we aren’t always in tune with the symptoms and it can be hard to detect.
Dr. Grubbs – Mental Health I think is one of the most important ones. Because it’s mind wellness. If you don’t have your mind you don’t know what your doing physically, mentally and you may not be able to succeed vocationally because it will influence your employment rating beside that you have financial health and certainly mental health could influence your financial health especially if your getting that money from a salary or through a job or if you need to master your budget.
She says the best way to maintain or acquire a normal, productive life is to avoid neglecting any element of your health which includes all seven areas. Physical, Mental, Financial and Vocational health are four of them and based on what you’ve heard so far these are easy enough to understand but what about Social Health? How active are you in your community or with others at work? This is a huge issue. How is your network of family and friends? It’s important to look at.
Dr. Grubbs – People seem to shun people who have been in mental institutions or have had some mental illnesses in their family now they may not invite you to the sorority or to various different organizations or different types of socials whereas if the group thought you had something to offer to the group might invite you to be a member.
You might have more to offer than you know.
Speaking of your community, another aspect of health is Spiritual Health, it’s a factor no matter what you believe.
Dr. Grubbs – Different people believe in different things. I really don’t try to push my belief on anybody. I wrote that because I grew up in a Southern family that valued family, valued God and certainly valued education and personally i said well let me check a few bible verses and see if they relate to each of these elements of health and i found out that did and I use those because I certainly believe in Christian living I thought well if everybody lived by the ten commandments this might be a better world.
Amen to that…
Dr. Grubbs – Sometimes if you give that stress, talking to somebody who is not gonna tell anybody. you close up in a room all by yourself and talk to God. That has helped me. I don’t know if it’s helped anybody else but i do believe in doing that. That’s how these different elements can influence each other.
And that’s a key point right there. Understanding the different elements is one thing but understating how they intertwine to affect each other is something else entirely. A good example is the family dynamic. What kind of home did you grow up in? Different families have different dynamics, different values, different structures, rules and beliefs.
Dr. Grubbs – The head of the family would influence the other people in the family and then those people would live that way from their influence in teaching and influence the community and communities can impact states and states impact nations and nations impact the world so it has a rolling impact on
Pretty interesting right? Your health, your choices, your life has a far reaching impact. One of my favorite movies is “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Clarence, George Bailey’s Angel in Training, once said to him “Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?”
When you think about it that way, all of a sudden it’s not about you anymore. It’s your life but it’s also about everyone you come in contact with. Let’s outline a plan for a healthier you.
Dr. Grubbs – The biggest room in the world is room for improvement.
Another great quote to remember. The book is called Grip Life and in it there is some space provided for you to write down your improvement plan or areas that you want to work on. It’s all about healthy living for you and for all of us for generations to come.
Dr. Grubbs – I love sweets when i was growing up and I do now but I now but I know not to pack ice cream in my freezer or bake cakes or whatever because my grandmother would preach that and I notice that said you have too many sweets that’s not good for you, you know I mean one a week but now I have tot have some kind of self control. You have to practice self control and I think the elderly lady was very wise and she knew what she was talking about and she would walk every day and all that. She lived to be one hundred years old and her sister lived to be one hundred and seven. I’m thinking well I ain’t gonna get there but I do want to live as long as I can.
I hope she does get there and I hope you do too. Dr. Elizabeth W. Grubbs has plenty of wisdom to share. She has lived in and out of the United States. She has seen extreme poverty and extreme wealth in the same cities. She has obtained degrees and other experiences in education, counseling, and supervision from Tuskegee University, Livingston University, University of Mexico, and Wayne State University and her book Grip Life is available now at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Xlibiris.com and many other places and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram.

She lived to be one hundred years old and her sister lived to be one hundred and seven. I’m thinking well I ain’t gonna get there but I do want to live as long as I can.
I hope she does get there and I hope you do too. Dr. Elizabeth W. Grubbs has plenty of wisdom to share. She has lived in and out of the United States. She has seen extreme poverty and extreme wealth in the same cities. She has obtained degrees and other experiences in education, counseling, and supervision from Tuskegee University, Livingston University, University of Mexico, and Wayne State University and her book Grip Life is available now at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Xlibiris.com and many other places and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram.
Dr. Grubbs was featured on the Books on Air podcast. Listen to the full length interview.

Today I am happy to introduce an extraordinary guest, Chweny Popitt. Chweny joins me to help young Transition Awareness Breathing friends learn about positive and mindful options in respond to unpleasant and painful situations. The information is positive and offers healthy perspectives and options for grown-ups too. Families will take away easy-to-follow suggestions to move through challenges and to give positive and healthy support to the children.
When we experience pain, our body sends a message to the brain. Our initial reaction to pull away from the pain is a natural response. We have all experienced some pain/discomfort at one time or another. As we grow older, we learn how to keep ourselves safe. However, sometimes pain leads us to an unpleasant response. And that is where mindfulness comes in. A few mindful techniques this podcast will cover are skills that can use with faced with unpleasant situations. Here are a few.
- Talk about feelings. Describe the pain.
- Ask for help.
- Write or draw in a journal about how you feel
- Work on a craft or art to redirect energy into positivity
- Practice mindful walking
- Do no harm. Stay away from harmful activities.
- Breathe
- Monitor positive self-care activities. (Get rest. Limit screen time. Eat healthily)

Alan Gordon is on a mission to help all of us find true wisdom. He says “…While it is often clothed in foreign sounding words and phrases, originating in cultures far different from our own, the wisdom belongs to all of us….”
Guest Bio: Alan Gordon is host of the Project Utopia podcast which pieces together historical records that reveal a lost (but now found) system of Active Enlightenment.
“When we find true wisdom, we must stop and consider it carefully on its own merit. While it is often clothed in foreign sounding words and phrases, originating in cultures far different from our own, the wisdom belongs to all of us. It is not the property of any one culture or period in time, and if it is true then we must put it to use in our own lives.”
In his previous book, The Cycle of Mind, Alan combined ancient truths about the creative power of Mind with modern scientific methods to reveal exactly how Mind creates through ripples, rhythms, and cycles, and laid out a practical series of techniques all of us can use to control our thoughts and shape our own futures.
“Mind controls reality, and reality conforms to Mind”
~ The Cycle of Mind
With the Project Utopia podcast Alan pulls back the curtain to reveal a golden time in history where men and women truly lived in the inner radiance of enlightenment, and global peace reigned for 300 years. He brings to life the ancient teachings of enlightenment in a way that nobody else can.

Hello and welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick RMT author of A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which share stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic, political or societal but a disconnect from our true being or inner soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Wendy Darling, author of Create Your Miraculous Life which is a manual for reinvention of purpose and desire through the tools to reset your passion, focus, energy and mindset on the life that has eluded you. Once you remember who you are your dreams and intentions begin to unfold. Hello Wendy and thank you for joining us on Healing From Within.
Wendy as listeners of Healing From Within are so well aware my guests and I offer intimate and insightful views of life in its entirety reminding us that we are much more than we appear to be and in working with our spiritual goals we are able to create lives of purposefulness health happiness and intimate relationships with those we love. Our perceptions of ourselves, life and death and energy are the keys to unlocking many mysteries and once understood allow all fear, limitation and suffering to fall by the wayside. Life is indeed an interesting mix of people, events and happenings all designed to lead us to our best reality.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Wendy Darling will share the belief that It is never to late to recover the dreams and passions you have set aside to find the purposeful path, have the relationship you want, start a family, even find love again in later life, regardless of the reason age, money, family commitments, marriage breakdown, exhaustion, health, past failure, lack of education. There is help with and around you to ignite the pilot lights of individuals, couples and companies.
Wendy I always love to ask my guests to think back to their childhood and remember a personal event that may have shown them or others the interests and lifestyle they might pursue as an adult for it appears that we enter life with a life plan and destiny which unfolds in time.
What was the motivation and inspiration for writing this book? Why did you choose the theme, It’s Never Too Late? Wendy writes, “ As I mentioned, we are in the midst of a global pandemic as I write this book. Never in our entire lives have we experienced anything like this. Between the virus, political unrest, rioting, jobs lost, and people clearly struggling, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see we are struggling in so many ways.
I found myself wondering how we were going to come out of this situation. What is happening that so many people are unhappy, angry, and frustrated? As I write, I do not have any answers to that, yet. But I do feel it may get worse before it gets better. I hope I am wrong. And the theme of “it’s never too late” is now very timely, maybe even critical. Many need to feel more hope. More support. We are going to have to build our world from a renewed foundation. It’s never been more important for you to step up and step out. For you to offer whatever gifts and talents you have, to be a part of the healing our world needs. Contributing your gifts and talents will make a difference that is very much needed today. THIS IS YOUR TIME! There are people waiting and wanting what you have to offer—the gifts and talents that you and only you can provide. Whether it be supporting a good friend or having a service or product reaching those who can benefit, your life and contribution matters and makes a difference”
What health challenges did you face as a result of an accident that made you begin to realize you could change your thoughts and improve your life?
Wendy writes, “The time after my accident was the most challenging time in my life. The trauma of my accident left me fearful and vulnerable, two emotions I had never really experienced in my adult life. I had previously been a person who never thought twice about taking a risk, entering new territory. Now, I had immediately become someone who did not trust herself or anything else about life. Not a fun place to live. The reality was, those insecurities had always been there. They were just buried alive and now revealed. I discovered that I had been living my life on a shaky foundation and significantly overcompensating from the wounds of my childhood.
At the beginning of my recovery, I was wondering and primarily focused on what it was going to take to heal my body. My leg had been shattered, and for many months, I had a lot of uncertainty if I would be able to walk again. I also had a broken back, so I was (obviously) not in a very active stage of my life. Between surgeries (I had five of them to repair my leg), I would do what I could to rebuild my strength. I would walk as far as I could on crutches. I remember the first time I tried I was able to walk as far as the end of my driveway. Eventually, I walked throughout my neighborhood. People would stop and cheer me on. Many said that when they saw me “walking,” they felt there was no excuse for them. Those moments meant the world to me, since I could not see how my future was going to unfold. It was a very confusing and soul-searching time for me.
Mainly, I felt tremendous pain in my heart. And around the time I began getting stronger, the biggest blow was about to happen. When my former husband and I eventually went to court, the judge awarded full custody of our son to him.
Losing custody of my son literally finished me off. The best way I can explain what happened to me was it felt like something “snapped” inside my brain. It was like a critical “connector” in my life’s circuitry broke. I’m sharing my story because I believe we all have things in our life that potentially take us to our knees. We all have made choices whose consequences provided us with a wake-up call of what is most important, and what needs to change. Maybe that time for you is now?
What had you begin writing and talking about miracles? Why miracles? Sheryl states that miracles are all around us but when we are in a state of unknowingness denial or simply beaten down by the heaviness of our own or other people’s challenges we forget to remember how miraculous life really is and don’t believe change is possible. Sheryl in her book A New Life Awaits, wrote, “Since most people fear change, they resist commitment to their soul growth or development. They linger in a state of physical unconsciousness. It is easier to feed the physical body than it is to feed your spiritual essence. There can be little change in a person’s understanding of who they are when they are only concerned with the joys of a physical life. I believe that we are all entitled to a beautiful and joyful material life, but it will not happen fully if we only focus to that end and the spiritual concerns and issues of a person are denied. When one aspires to love their essence and entire being, physical and energetic, major changes in all aspects of life must occur
Wendy You have a transformational system. The Miraculous Living Method. What is this and how is it possibly unique and different from other systems?
For many years, I used my process to look for thoughts and beliefs that were limiting my actions and results. However, after learning more about how the mind works, I realized that I had inadvertently programmed myself to always be looking for what was wrong and not working. That meant I was living in a “find it and fix it” mentality, which continues to strengthen the neural pathway and belief that “something is always wrong.” Then, one amazing day, I had the thought: What if I was examining from an incorrect perspective? What if we had it backward? Instead of looking to the past, what if we created our future and, in doing so, could it still be possible the past can be released? So, I experimented.
The Miraculous Living Method is (partially) comprised of Sound Healing, Hands-On Transformational Energy Cards, and Affirming Statements and Scenarios. The sound healing carries the energetic frequency of love. By itself, it is very effective. After my transformational cards were birthed, I started to combine them with the sound healing. Now the process became even more effective. Because of what I have learned about the “frequency of energy,” the feelings of love and gratitude actually carry a higher vibration, which allows the feelings with a lower vibration, such as anger and sadness, worry, and frustration to be melted and loved away. The sound healing carries this higher frequency as do the transformational cards. While listening to the sound healing and placing your hands on the transformational cards, they create a unique and effective energy “loop”. Then, I added “affirmations” to the mix. When you say an affirmation in the bubble of the sound healing and transformational cards, old and erroneous thoughts rise to the surface and can be released (actually, the emotional charge associated with the thought and/or feeling). Meanwhile, the mind begins to strengthen whatever thought is being infused. This is either strengthening an existing neural pathway, or—if one does not already exist—the process creates a new one. Now, your energetic vibration increases. You now are in energetic alignment with your desired goal. But it doesn’t stop there. Taking this approach, the Miraculous Living Method provides the vehicle for even better results. Life becomes easier, more peaceful. Taking action becomes easier. Results are achieved faster. So, it is not just the physical that needs our attention. We must focus on your Energy System, Your Mind/ Body/Emotional/Spiritual system. That is how you create a miraculous life!
Wendy wrote, “Dear God, I am beyond grateful to be learning how to be more connected with you. To be able to tap into your infinite wisdom that you are continuously pouring through me. That your Divine Loving Energy helps me to release the blocks that have been keeping away all the good you’ve been trying to provide for me. I am grateful that I am learning how to love and release those places of stuck energy and emotions. I am grateful I am learning how to support my mind to be thinking healthier and happier thoughts. I am forever grateful that I am on this incredible journey of creating a miraculous life,”
In your book you refer to your Results Accelerator process. Tell us more of this.
Wendy remembers doing the Results Accelerator exercise at one of my speaking engagements. I looked down and saw a man whose eyes were as big as saucers. She asked if he was willing to share what was going on for him. He had been struggling with his business and was working many hours trying to get things in a more profitable position. His Results Accelerator was family. It turns out he was spending a lot of time with his work and missing being with his family. She encouraged him to do a little experiment: to carve out more family time in the next two weeks and see if he noticed any changes with his business. He reached out to me about a month later, stating that he had been leaving his office earlier, spending more time with his family, and his business was showing very strong improvements in orders received. He was feeling more confident about the future. In his case, he was being nourished by the love of his family, which somehow was resulting in the growth and profits of his business Another example of the Results Accelerator process…sometimes the issue you think is the problem is not really and when you address the real problem everything falls into line.
By now, Wendy was using the Results Accelerator. In Beth’s case, her Results Accelerator was she was to first focus on her career. When I shared this with Beth, she was not happy with me. She came to me to release her excess weight, not talk about her career. However, once she explained a little more, our conversation shifted. It turns out that Beth was really unhappy with her current job. Although we were still going to focus on her health, it was going to be important that we also focused on the possibility of her finding a new job. She shared with her that I never knew why someone was guided to begin a certain way; however, she had learned to trust the process. And I encouraged Beth to do the same. So, she began looking at what jobs might be out there. In a matter of 3 weeks, Beth found a new job. And what was even more wonderful? After she began her new job, the pounds started to melt off her body! Simply amazing
What can people begin to do to make their lives more miraculous?
Perhaps simply know there is a higher force as Wendy writes, ” I know that there is a Universal intelligence that is looking out for you, guiding you in ways to fulfill your deepest desires. I believe these “forces” have been with you your entire life. In fact, I actually believe your desires are placed within you so that you grow, develop, and contribute in a way you were designed to live and contribute. I am a spiritual person, so please choose what words may serve you most. I believe in God. I welcome and embrace all religions. I also believe we have a “team” of guides that are assigned to keep a closer eye on us. I believe your soul speaks to you through the desires of your heart. And this guidance, when cultivated, is just about all you need to experience and accomplish everything you could ever desire in your life. Talk about having an executive coach! God, your soul, and your “team” is the best there is
A lot of people have gotten out of shape health wise during the pandemic or suffered loss of income. What can you suggest for them to move past this? There has been a lot of suffering and loss of life How do you suggest people deal with the grief of these tragedies?
Wendy and Sheryl see that perhaps good will eventually come out of the pain and sadness of this life altering event and see Covid as perhaps an opportunity to have a second chance at life For those who have been sick and recovered, and for those who have lost family members or worked in medical facilities dealing with the illness receiving gratitude and giving love to the sick and their families, Wendy writes, “As mentioned, I’m writing during a “forced time out” in our world. We are experiencing COVID-19. Never in my lifetime have I experienced anything like this. Yet, despite all these very legitimate concerns, I can’t help but wonder how this possibly holds an opportunity. An opportunity of deciding what matters most. An opportunity to slow down. An opportunity to pull together as a family, as a community, as a nation, as a world. It’s a wake-up call like none other we’ve ever experienced. What are you choosing? Even if you are reading this many months/years after this event, this is your opportunity to take a closer look at what matters most to you. What do you want? Could this be the opportunity to focus on what really matters and makes a difference in your life? Your health? Your relationships? How you contribute to the world? Isn’t that what ultimately matters the most? What might you be tired of dealing with? Where might you be struggling? Maybe it’s finally time to find the places within you that have been buried deep, keeping you from living a more fulfilling, miraculous life.”
For those juggling with family responsibilities what might you offer parents so they can take care of themselves, each other and their children?
Wendy wrote, Dear God: Even though you know how much I want to feel the relief of experiencing life in a gentler, easier way, please help me release the internal thoughts and emotions that are fighting to keep that from happening. I can no longer fight. Help me find gentler, kinder, more loving ways to accept myself. Love myself. Appreciate myself. Help me recognize the beauty life has to offer. Help me find the next step that will take me in a healthier and happier direction. Help me discover the magic that truly exists in our world today.”
What do you have as a daily practice that helps you in living a more miraculous life?
EXERCISE: This exercise was given to me many years ago from the Avatar community, called “Care for the Animal.” This exercise allows you to demonstrate love for your body. The power of love is transformational. I encourage you to do this exercise daily. Find a time where you can be in quiet and begin relaxing. Your body is like a newborn child, totally dependent on you for care. Without your efforts, it cannot survive. If you have ever held a newborn child, your heart overflows with love. You are going to treat your body with a tender, loving touch. Look at your forearm with love. Gently stroke it, showering it with feelings of love. Move your hand to your upper arm, caressing it, gently stroking it, sending that part of your body lots of love. Continue this process with each part of your body. When you finish, just sit there for a few moments, feeling all the love you have poured into your body. A daily practice is what works best. With time you will begin noticing a healthier relationship with your body.
I have seen people lose weight and/or restore their health by just doing this one exercise
If you could advise your younger self, what would you want her to know or what do you wish you had learned at an earlier age? Wendy might wish that at an earlier age she knew herself better and had confidence that she could create her goals and accomplish them. Wendy writes, “This is the part of your journey to get deeply honest about what you want to experience in life. Maybe it’s finally welcoming love into your life. Maybe it’s exploring a new career or business. Maybe it’s strengthening your finances and creating wealth. Maybe it’s regaining your health. Learning how to paint. Or simply finding new ways to have fun. Maybe it’s all of these and more. Only you know what it is that you want. You have the opportunity and responsibility to identify your life’s purpose, your mission in life.
I also believe that there are many different ways to do that. My purpose is assisting people to fulfill their purpose, their Divine Destiny, while living the life of their dreams. For me, having my dreams fulfilled is telling me I am “on track” to fulfilling my Divine Destiny. I don’t believe that you have to fulfill your purpose first. In fact, I believe that some of your dreams coming true are simply confirmation that you are on the right path.
What do you want readers of Create Your Miraculous Life to take away with them after reading your book?
Wendy would like readers to remember to “Let’s compare your desire to a beachball. A beachball is very light. However, when you hold a beachball under water, it takes a certain amount of effort to keep it there. Your buried desire is similar. It takes energy to keep a desire buried. But once you embrace that desire, it’s just like releasing the beachball and allowing it to pop out of the water. You’ll find you begin to feel lighter, better. You’ll notice feeling more hopeful. And you also begin to have “synchronistic” experiences. There is also the possibility that you may have some underlying issues show up; however, you may be more aware that this needs to be dealt with (the gift of the Miraculous Living Method).
Sheryl says Once you begin to be aware of synchronistic happenings and coincidences your heart and mind are beginning to realize you are more than the physical body and this physical life and begin to pay attention to your intuition or inner soul wisdom helping you remember who you are A Spiritual being having a physical life and by merging this new awareness many miracles small and large begin to present as we all personally hold the power to create and manifest what is within are life plan and destiny. It is much easier to do if you truly know who you are, where you come from and what life is all about.
Wendy wrote, “Dear God: I know that you want every single desire that lives in my heart to materialize. In fact, I believe you want even more for me than I want for myself. Help me believe again. Restore my hope. Help me regain my faith. Let me bask in your love. And from there, allow me to know the truth of who I am and all that I am to experience. And please guide me toward my next step so that I am one step closer to having my dreams fulfilled. Thank you for loving me, believing in me, and guiding me”
I want to thank you Wendy Darling author of Create Your Miraculous Life?

In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have discovered once again that no matter the circumstances or challenges we face with the right mindset and perspective to moving beyond that difficulty there is a way to begin to change our thoughts and actions and tap into the divine state of creation from our heart and soul inner connection to Universal Source and begin to create what is more in alignment to our life goals thereby creating a reality that can reflect harmony balance love and happiness. Beyond all fear and suffering we can change the energy we are creating with our mind. Negativity breeds more negativity ..acceptance allowing and surrendering to any situation with grace brings us to a higher state of consciousness and we then reside in love compassion and eternal life.
Wendy and I would have you remember that The Universe loves it when we take action! And remember, any step is one step closer to fully living your miraculous life. We do it every day when we wake up with the intention to have a good day. The thought is the step to realizing what we truly are capable of creating.

In this episode, the Crone & Sage dive into a couple of concepts relating to time and how our experience of physical time (past, present, future) intersects with our “spiritual” time which is all about cycles and spirals. Today’s Witchstones Spotlight focuses on the first four Physical Concept Stones and their relationships. Finally, this episode’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint talks about how it can be beneficial to Talk to Your Pesky Animals and Insects as we move further into the Times of Beltane and the Season of Spring.
Webster says that a touchstone is a fundamental or quintessential part of something. What are your touchstones? I do hope you have more than one. Imagine them as beautifully painted rocks in your garden of life. The thing about rocks is that they last forever. Finding them is like a treasure hunt.
Come with me for a few minutes and let’s explore some of the ways you can find them, color them, polish them, and make your garden flourish.
Today on Talking Books JT Crowley speaks with Steve Wachtel about his book “Sandlot Poet”. This book has poetry panned from pain and triumph, gentle observations and the human experience.

About the Author: Steve Wachtel is an American author from Washington Heights in New York City. He was born in Brooklyn where he lived until he was nine. He describes Brooklyn in the old days as a little United Nations due to its multinational society, a society that enriched his life to this present day.
Long Island, where he spent the rest of his youth, was another part of New York that enriched his life with its own unique multi-generational diverse communities and societies. Education was a key aspect of his life then and when he looks back at the schooling he received on Long Island he often recalls the fine teachers he had who encouraged him to read a broad selection of genres as well as supporting him to write some of his own stories. Steve’s father was an avid science fiction follower and Steve often found himself sitting in the family basement reading those books, but as to writing science fiction, that turned out not to be Steve’s forte.
Hawking back to Steve’s school days, those were the days where he discovered his passion for poetry, having read countless poets remains a deep-seated passion of his. However, writing a poem that in his eyes would be acceptable to publish didn’t come about until one day in 1976 when he was in a park supporting a young person, as dusk descended, he had an influx of words that flooded his head, scrambling for paper he quickly jotted them down, and he has been doing that ever since. Steve has published eight poetry books and seven children’s books.
Apart from writing, Steve like his wife Maxine has worked for some considerable years in social work mainly focusing on psychiatric needs of New York’s more vulnerable and needy society, who mainly stem from deprived ethnic groups, the poor or those whose lives for some reason have fallen apart.
The one person who has supported Steve in all that he has accomplished is Maxine, his wife of fifty years to whom he refers to as his chief cheerleader.

https://youtu.be/ODQ6WHS3DP0About the Book: Sandlot Poet for me is a book that contains a plethora of free verse poems that touch on everyday life, in particular life on the streets of New York from where the author comes from. When I read the poems having been to New York I could envisage Steve sitting in his apartment looking out of his window watching the hustle and bustle of life going by on the streets below or sitting on a bench in a park like Washington Square, or Central Park itself observing life in all its varied formats. I loved this book, the poems are at times poignant, dignified and above all down to earth.

Today we travel to a land of kingdoms and magic through the pages of Incantation by Mason Humphries. It is a place where the king of Magique once fell in love with a powerful witch who would not reciprocate his feelings. This is the tale of her daughter.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
I confess. I am a fan of magic. Magic of all kinds. Card tricks, Illusions even movie magic. I don’t care how it’s done, I just can’t get enough of it. Aren’t you captivated by a magicians ability to perform seemingly impossible feats? They tap into our primal desire to experience something otherworldly, something beyond our ordinary, mundane lives and leave us with a sense of wonder and Awe.
Directors and producers who make movie magic often get their inspiration from books. Bringing pages of fantasy to life on the big screen is no easy feat but today we are going to open one of those inspirational novels and travel to a far off land where there lives a king.
Mason Humphries – Who doesn’t take no for an answer.
Very much like other Kings. This particular king has fallen in love with a fair maiden. However, she does not reciprocate his feelings. No matter. He is the King and he is used to getting his way. You just heard it from Mason Humphries, author of the book Incantation, he does not take no for an answer.
Mason Humphries – He orders his men to take her by force and doing so led to her death.
I would not want to be the guy who gives that news to the King…but what is this unexpected turn of events? A child?
Mason Humphries – If he couldn’t have the love of his life he would rather take in her daughter who would have the potential of being of use. Sixteen years later she’s all grown up and none the wiser as to who she really is or who her father is.
So the girl grows up in the kingdom of Magique as princess Lynn, daughter of a powerful sorcerous. Everyone knows she has power, at least they suspect it. She isn’t sure why everyone says that because there has been no reason to think it. It’s just a feeling they have based on her DNA but they all learn the truth one day in a very dramatic way. Lynn throws off a very unexpected and very violent explosion of power rocks the kingdom.
It causes everyone to say who is this girl? According to Mason, she’s just a strong willed teen aged girl who just so happens to have enormous powers.
Mason Humphries – The kind of person who would stand up for others when she sees a bad situation. Someone who wants to help but isn’t capable yet. Someone who tries to lighten things up with a snark, or a joke. Sarcasm.
Seeing the world through the eyes of Lynn allows us to envision a place where we too could be different, special, or extraordinary. Who wouldn’t want to have super powers? If you don’t identify with Lynn perhaps you see more of yourself in her best friend and hand-maiden Jesse who is willing, a bit foolish and strong.
Mason Humphries – Sisters at arms. They’ve been together ever since they were young shed be making these more often, are you seriously looking at her face? She would try and keep a leash on Lynn but it’s difficult. At the same time she would act like her at times and also have a little sarcasm and snakiness.
There are other characters as well like the King, a power driven narcissist and Madam B…
Mason Humphries – Bee plays as the stern mentor, like a mother Lynn never had. She can do magic, she knows how to do it but she wasn’t born with the abilities Lynn has.
And there is Lucy, the dark purple colored crow.
Mason Humphries – She becomes human once when Lynn casts into another part of her magick.
So what mysteries and adventures await our powerful, cheeky Princess and her lady in waiting as their adventure unfolds? I can tell you this, power has a tendency to make people crazy. The rest will have to remain a mystery waiting to be revealed. To learn its secrets you must first do a bit of magic yourself by typing on your electronic device. Enter some numbers and conjure up a downloadable copy of Incantation by Mason Humphries. You’ll find it in the kingdom or Amazon or in the land of Barnes and Noble, a fitting place indeed.
And that young squire, M’lady, will do it for this enchanted edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com
The author Mason Humphries was recently profiled on the Books on Air Podcast. Time in to the full length interview to learn more about him and his writing process.

Marriage is for grownups. This doesn’t mean you are over 18 or some other arbitrary age of majority. It means that you are emotionally ready to commit to creating a life with someone else. Because, while marriage can and should be about love, it’s about so much more. And one of those things is emotional maturity. Pastor and author, Marc Alan Schelske, is here to talk about what this is, why it matters, and, more importantly, how you can develop it in your life and marriage.
If you want your marriage to be more emotionally mature, Lesli can help. Please share the show with those you care about on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Tracee Ellis Ross
“I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/Dejs18bBA4oCheck Out These Highlights:
This quote stopped me in my tracks after reading it.
I love this concept of allowing space between myself today and my future self. Being inspired and curious is something I lean into every day. Yet, not giving in to my fear of failure, not being good enough, and the unknown events that can hinder my personal and professional growth are very real too, and always simmering under the surface.
About Eric Allan Eaton:
Recently Eric shared with me that he, too, has been learning to let go of fear.
Eric is a hardworking, honest, determined, and self-motivated individual. One of his missions in life is to leave the world in a better situation than he found it, and he enjoys seeing friends and family rewarded for hard work. He has over 15 years of branch and operational banking experience and two decades of stage and voice acting experience.

In our episode today, I invite you to listen to a mindful practice performed by tweens (ages 11 – 13). These are students in my Transition Awareness Breathing enrichment class at one of the local charter schools. These TAB friends have been attending Transition Awareness Breathing one hour a day each week for approximately six to nine months. They shared with me that they have become more aware of how their bodies respond to various environmental situations within the last few weeks. Tween TAB’s friend’s favorite mindfulness practice is mindful eating. They learned mindfulness, awareness, and relaxation breathing techniques at the beginning of their TAB training. Most of them had never practiced mindfulness skills independently before.
For me teaching older children TAB was a new endeavor. Current times are revealing that there is a need for older children to benefit from learning mindfulness skills as they grow into their teen years. I was still determining how this would work and was willing to try. So, I took it upon myself to find a mindfulness program that targets teens. I came across Gina Briegel, MA LMSRT instructor program called “Stress Teen.” As I learned different approaches and material from the “Stress Teen” model, I began implementing some of the content into my TAB tween classes. A few weeks ago, I asked the group to share what practice they would be willing to demonstrate in their small group setting. They chose to review the mindful qualities, body scan, and relaxation breathing.
I was amazed when they shared their practices in the small group setting. My goal was to use the teach-back learning method to determine their comprehension and skill level of what they learned. I was amazed. Each leads the group without prompting or a script. I asked them if they would allow me to record their practice. They agreed. I obtained their parent’s permission to record only their voices without their names. On the day of the recording, they expressed nervousness and asked if they could use my script from Gina Briegel’s Stress Teen guide. In this recording, three tweens will demonstrate their mindful practice with the help of the Stress Teen guide scripts. They did a great job, and I am very proud that they were willing to share what they learned with others.

As Americans, we often feel that we live in the freest country in the world, but are we?
The progressive expansion of our Federal, state and local governments over the past 100 years is a measure of how much of our precious liberties have been surrendered to secular ideologies with promises of a utopian democracy. History has proven over and over again that the voice of the majority rule as a way to govern a democracy always leads to bondage by a minority. It is in fact a lie. Vox populi, Vox Dei, which means the voice of the people is the voice of God, may sound fair and just, but it never works that way. God’s voice more frequently conflicts with the voices of people because we are mere mortals when He is immortal.
The future of American Liberty will be written by those of us who are alive today. It is our responsibility, no our duty, to leave an inheritance of liberties to the next generations, just as we have been gifted with the sacrifices of those before us.
We the People, have the mechanism to rein in the Federal Government with a Convention of States to amend the U.S. Constitution to limit the powers of career politicians to force their hand against what has been handed down to us by our Founding Fathers. This podcast will explain how and a call to action.
God save the Republic.
Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – General Colin Powell
“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.”

https://youtu.be/-oHPqBYksI0Check Out These Highlights:
I have found that simple strategies usually work best, especially when it comes to sales activity.
Early in my career, my sales managers could have been better leaders. Additionally, I have also found that successful salespeople do not always make the best sales leaders. Just because we are good at selling does not mean we will be great leaders—two very different skill sets.
So how does someone who is leading a sales team help their team’s sales skills grow? Of course, I have an expert to share ideas and strategies to help you lead your folks to exponential sales success.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT author of the final book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit to show us our challenges are not economic political or societal but a disconnect from our inner energetic soul wisdom and connection to each other and all life. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Cyndi Dale, author of Energy Healing for Trauma Stress and Chronic Illness who will share with us that most illnesses are a result of thought based fears and intentions and if we change that we can heal and manifest our best reality.
As listeners of Healing From Within have come to expect over the years Sheryl and her intuitive compassionate guests share intimate insights in the true nature of physical and energetic life in an effort to truly understand human and divine qualities and the way we may merge the best of both realities for creating and manifesting health, peace, prosperity, and more loving relationships for a happier, compassionate and loving life journey.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within, Cyndi Dale who is the author of 28 books on energy medicine, intuition, and spirituality, will share an understanding of trauma and stress and why it is so important to consider the subtle inner causes of trauma rather than only the physical causes. We will discuss the energy of disease and how fear and our thought processes encourage illness to thrive and then suggest how to make changes that can heal illness and these same fearful limitations.
Trauma is related to stress. Cyndi says “To understand what trauma is we must understand what makes forces destructive or harmful and that is not the energies themselves, but whether or not they’re compatible with our original energetic signature. This is our master energetic code, the culmination of everything unique about our body, mind, and soul. This signature determines what external energies will nourish us or harm us, whether they enter during life events, through food or other physical substances, or as subtle feelings and thoughts. Whether we’re facing a one-time crisis or an ongoing challenge, we’ll be able to respond to the energies that match our original energetic signature, and we’ll react negatively to those that don’t.
Cyndi defines “trauma as the damage caused by the initial disruptive, incompatible force, which is delivered from outside of ourselves. Because trauma is inflicted outside to inside, it must be healed the same way. We require help from another person, living being, or even a spiritual guide or the Spirit. Beyond that initial trauma, there is the damage caused by secondary energies or secondary forces. These secondary energies or forces are created from within, during our system’s physical and energetic response to the initial trauma. If they aren’t addressed, they remain “stuck” in our body and our energy systems, continuing to cause more harm—harm that, over time, most often manifests as chronic illness or other ongoing challenges. Because these secondary energies are self-generated and harm us from the inside, they must also be energetically healed from the inside. I’ll provide you with insights and techniques that will allow you to accomplish this deep inner metamorphosis.”
The differences between….and also the inter-personal relationships between physical and subtle causes of trauma can be observed. Cyndi gives us an overview of how incompatible energy not only harms us during a traumatic event, but also keeps adversely affecting us over time if we don’t address it. Now we’re going to unpack some of the key concepts Cyndi introduced, including our subtle energy anatomy (and how it relates to our physical anatomy), our original energetic signature, forces and how they operate, and how our physical and energetic responses to trauma can lay the foundation for chronic illnesses, including autoimmune disorders.
Energy has two components: information and movement. The information is the programming that tells something what to be. For instance, the information within your morning java tells your coffee to be coffee. If you alter that information, that coffee might change—maybe it goes from dark roast to light roast; perhaps it becomes a cup of tea. The energy of everything in this universe also vibrates or moves. Even something as hardcore as a solid object is actually vibration, or waves of frequency. The two types of vibration are light and sound. These core units of energy are differentiated by the rates of their vibrations. We know what color something is by its vibration; we can tell the difference between a dog’s bark and a cat’s meow in the same way.
When we adjust an object’s vibration, it changes. Vibrationally, we are modifying reality all the time.
Governed by the laws of classical science, physical energies are measurable and respond to concrete actions. Subtle energy, on the other hand, can’t always be measured and operates according to different rules, or the lack of them. There are many other names for subtle energy, such as psychic, spiritual, and mystical. I like the word subtle because it best describes the nature of these slippery, sly, and stupendous energies, which are explained by quantum science. Quanta are the smallest units of reality. There are various types of quanta, including quarks, tachyons, and gluons. The truth is, we don’t really know how many types of quanta exist because of the unique ways they operate. For instance, in the quantum world, an object doesn’t exist unless it’s observed. If two particles meet, they forever remain entangled, or interconnected. They will continue to affect each other, even when thousands of miles apart.
Quantum laws actually underlie classical science’s rules of energy’s behavior. Quanta aren’t concrete unless voted into reality consciously, and neither is the material world. Everything around you? Most of it is empty space; the objects in it are determined by the appearance and disappearance of quanta, or subtle energies, which are made of infinitesimally small, vibrating strings of energy. As Albert Einstein once said, “Matter is simply slowed-down energy waves that vibrate at different frequencies, all occupying mainly empty space.”
It is important to consider the subtle causes of trauma rather than only the physical causes. If you were to ask an anatomy professor where your liver is, they’d point to a specific spot on the right side of your upper abdomen. But ask a Chinese medical practitioner and they’d point to many different places in your body. That’s because in traditional Chinese medicine, as in other Asian and indigenous healing modalities, the liver organ is merely the visible component of a much vaster, albeit invisible, structure. Most of us have been educated about our physical anatomy, at least to some degree. Its components can be grouped into three major categories: organs, channels, and electromagnetic fields. The organs include the liver, heart, and spleen. The channels include the lymph and cardiovascular vessels. Every part of your body, including the tiniest atoms in your cells, generates electricity, which in turn creates fields made of electricity, magnetism, or electromagnetism. Most of these fields add up to a collection of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), or fields of light, that is the self. So, in a way, you’re a giant light bulb field.
Less well known is our body’s subtle anatomy. It’s formed from the same three constituents as the physical—organs, channels, and fields—but the components are more interactive and powerful. The most influential subtle organs are the chakras, or energy centers. Every chakra regulates and impacts a region of the physical body and its related functions. It also regulates a set of psychological and spiritual tasks. When they’re humming along, chakras convert physical energies into subtle energies and vice versa. This means that chakras register what happens to you not just physically and materially, but also emotionally, mentally, verbally, and spiritually. They also serve as mini brains for your body, deciding how you’ll respond to stimuli.
Cyndi and Sheryl give an example of someone being traumatized physically and also subtly. It is very important to understand why we do better with some people and their energies than others. Since our original energetic signature is programmed into our bodies during conception, allowing for life to begin, we begin immediately to interact with both physical and subtle energies that aren’t always constructive for us. Much of the time, we adapt. We absorb and process beneficial energies and neutralize debilitating energies. But if the absorbed energies are extremely detrimental or we are chronically exposed to incompatible energies, the following can occur:
We can’t personalize our decisions. When we can’t relate to our original energetic signature, we can’t figure out what is good for us. We flail about, unable to select anything from healthy foods to uplifting relationship partners.
If we are not in alignment to our soul life journey and destiny and do not remember who we are or why we are having a physical life in the first place, we often make mistakes and take detours from our original energetic signature, wasting time and harming our body and subtle energies which then need to be restored to well -being.
Sheryl says “Long ago when she was a young woman a man approached her and a thought floated through her head, “I don’t think so!” Now she knows it was a flash of intuition or subtle energy imprinted by a thought energy to save her from suffering in a limited relationship, one not of her own energy signature. But like most of us we don’t pay attention to this divine help until often years down the road when we are able to understand more about the physical and spiritual realms and discover ways that we are being guided to fulfil our original soul purpose or mission, as well as live an interesting physical life gathering experiences.”
Cyndi says that there are subtle or invisible energies carried in on “forces” that cause most of our trauma. She gives us some examples (Environmental, physical, verbal, digital, spiritual?)
All Challenges Are Energy Based. Energy is information that moves, and it comprises absolutely everything, including both the tangible and intangible aspects of ourselves. Energy underlies every life disrupter and resulting hardship—physical, psychological, and spiritual. It also underlies every good thing in life and the resulting joy and peace—physical, psychological, and spiritual. This means that powerful changes can occur if we work on an energetic level to fix them. To understand how, you first need to know that there are two types of energy: physical and subtle. Most healing processes, such as the use of prescription medicine, specific diets, physical therapies, simple cognitive processes, and even the old adage “Time heals all wounds” are based on physical energy. The physical universe certainly counts when we’re working toward alleviating our adversities.
In fact, there are biological reasons why our body requires (but also resists) healing, and there are physical energy modalities that support healing. The key to freedom from physical and subtle complexities, however, often lies in the other energetic domain—that of subtle energy. Subtle energies—also called psychic, intuitive, and quantum energies—are inseparable from the material self. They aren’t just some mystical phenomena that float around haphazardly. They actually underpin and organize physical reality, including your physical body.
In Sheryl Glick’s second book in a trilogy, The Living Spirit: Answer for Healing and Infinite Love, Sheryl addresses the many subtle energy techniques available to balance the mind, body, and spirit, which is true healing. Sheryl writes “For years, the metaphysical community has predicted a tremendous shift in human consciousness, and it is happening now. More than ever, people are feeling the need to rediscover their life’s purpose, and the economic downturn in recent years has given many the freedom, opportunity, and necessity to change their lives and work. Energy healing—including Reiki, Healing Touch, Reflexology, Chiropractic Adjustments, Acupuncture, Massage and Body Work, Rolfing, Polarity, Trager, Chromotherapy, Radionics, Alexander, Bioenergetics, Feldenkrais, Deep Tissue Work, Osteopathic Manipulation, and other modalities—has become one of the fastest growing fields of complementary health care, and it is part of Sheryl’s healing mission to help healers develop their God-given gifts.”
Cyndi proposes that very specific subtle energies are the main causes of chronic illness and other intractable challenges. During a crisis, we’re hit with a type of subtle energy called “forces.” Any of the six vital forces—environmental, missing, modern, physical, psychological, and spiritual—can create problems during the crisis itself, but it’s the stress response set off by the forces that can eventually lead to chronic illness and other lingering hardships. As we continue to be afflicted by the original forces, those forces trigger mechanisms within us that surround the wounded self (the aspect of our psyche most afflicted by the traumatic event) in a bubble of shock. Unless this wounded self is freed from the shock bubble, it will continue to suffer in darkness, triggering new energetic responses that cause even more damage.
An example….Maureen was a sixty-year-old high school teacher suffering with constant fatigue, aches and pains, arrhythmia (an erratic heartbeat), lung infections, depression, anxiety, and uncontrollable moods. By the time she came to me, she’d already been to dozens of medical doctors. Their diagnoses included an autoimmune disorder, hormonal imbalances, and idiopathic pain, which basically means “pain we don’t know the cause of.” Her holistic practitioners had suggested she had Lyme disease, leaky gut syndrome, past-life challenges, mold infections, and more. The treatments she’d tried included a mild form of chemotherapy, cognitive therapy, vitamin supplements, and hypnosis. I could tell that lying deep inside Maureen were problematic energies that had never been addressed and cleared; in fact, there was an aspect of Maureen’s self that was locked away, trapped in these energies, unable to become free and healthy. It wasn’t hard to identify the events that put these energies in place: over a few months in her childhood, Maureen had undergone one catastrophe after another. A tornado had wiped out her family’s farm. Soon after, her father died from a heart attack. Her mother then developed a serious mold infection in her lungs and began losing control of her emotions, often yelling at the kids. Maureen was still experiencing the suffering she’d been through during that horrific period of her childhood because the energies associated with those events were still present and active, not just in her physical body, but also in her energy anatomy. Beyond that initial trauma there is the damage caused by secondary energies or secondary forces. These secondary energies or forces are created from within, during our system’s physical and energetic response to the initial trauma. If they aren’t addressed, they remain stuck in our body and our energy systems, continuing to cause more harm—harm that, over time, most often manifests as chronic illness or other ongoing challenges.
Because these secondary energies are self-generated and harm us from the inside, they must also be energetically healed from the inside. I’ll provide you with insights and techniques that will allow you to accomplish this deep inner metamorphosis. When I looked at Maureen’s conditions from an energetic point of view, I could see that her physical and subtle energy anatomy had been compromised and traumatized by forces that greatly mismatched her original energetic signature. Because no one had been available to help her grieve and recover from the traumatic childhood events, the aspects of her that had been traumatized and encased within a shock bubble had never been freed. Meanwhile, the original force and its energetic effects had been absorbed into both her body and energy systems, where they lingered, morphed, and began damaging her physical and subtle anatomies from the inside, eventually triggering a chronic illness. She needed help to heal both outside to inside and inside to outside.
In Cyndi’s bio it says she is a favored teacher and healer for China. She tells us about her interest and work in China and her view of our conflicts at the present with China. Your mind, body, soul, and spirit are all different aspects of your total self. These are basically Eastern Paradigms so health issues and all challenges are not just symptom based as in Western medicine. Cyndi defines your soul as the aspect of you that moves across time and lifetimes, gathering experiences. She believes that the soul can be supportive or unintentionally destructive in terms of your well-being and how you address the energies of challenge.
Your spirit differs from your soul. It is your spiritual essence, the aspect of you knowingly connected to what I call the Spirit. (You may call it by whatever name you use—God, the Divine, the Universe, Allah, the Goddess, your Higher Power, the All, or something else.) Your spirit gives you the most vital and accurate information about which energies are helpful and supportive for you and which are not. It embodies your original energetic signature. The idea of having (or being) a unique energetic signature isn’t only a metaphysical concept; it is also a scientifically valid truth. For instance, every human heart exhibits an exclusive biometric so individualized that wearable technology devices are now employing a person’s heartbeat as their password.
Covid figures into the concept of our inner and outer worlds and how it has affected so many people beyond the actual virus to incorporate an inner traumatic fear, connected to life and death itself. Sheryl says that after recovering from covid and knowing the disease through its many symptoms, she wasn’t’ quite sure why as an energy healer she had even needed to experience it. But of course, like everything in life, nothing is random, and Sheryl was to find out exactly why she needed to have it. Never believing the hype and horror that was being projected on television during the beginning of the plague, she knew like any virus it could be overcome. Months down the road she interviewed another energy worker who told her that at the beginning of the pandemic, this healer had been unable to work on anyone with covid as the energy was toxic to her throat and lungs and she wasn’t able to break through the toxic force field. After contracting the disease at the cellular level and when she recovered, her energy healing techniques could be used to break through the energy field of covid. Sheryl realized that she was able to send distant healing reiki to many hospitalized patients with covid after having conquered the disease within her own body.
People can “catch” the energy of an illness and get the symptoms- without “catching” the actual ailment or virus. Sheryl says that our energy system can absorb the energy of other people, places and even thought systems as every field and corresponding chakra also emanates energy into the world. The decisions about what energies to bring in and keep out are complicated, but they are basically established by past life, childhood, and cultural programming, as well as one’s original energetic signature. The auric fields outside of the physical body can absorb energies that don’t touch your skin. They can also attune to another’s thoughts, feelings, or even the memories of that person’s previous experiences. They can even absorb the subtle effects of a physical blow to a person standing near you or the subtle effects of children bursting into giggles. In general, the energy of whatever happens around or to you, can make its way to the auric field that matches the frequency of that event, and, depending on the programming of that field, bring those energies straight into its related chakra, as each chakra is related to different aspects of your physical life. as well as your body.
All challenges are energy challenges. Now, their feelings get stuck within you, lowering your immune system and creating more depression or anxiety. Whether or not your interaction with the virus involves more than the natural environmental transfer, secondary forces can create complications for healing.
We can pick up on others’ anxiety and thus become injured by an emotional force. We might become connected to dark entities that propel us into fright, and thus we’re bonded to this virus through a spiritual force. We might become scared because of the news media, and thus be afflicted with a modern, or digital, force. In the end, we might find some part of ourselves hovering as a wounded self within a shock bubble. Toward that end, to really deal with and recover from the virus, we must uncover this self, invite grieving, and provide protection.
Viruses are unique in that they are attached to some external form of energy. Suffice it to say that from an energetic point of view, it is necessary to release these attachments in order to disempower the virus.
One of the most imperative concepts to grasp is having an original energetic signature. This is your central governing code. We want our physical and subtle energies to match rather than conflict with this key code. How might this idea apply to the existence of, and fall-out from, the pandemic?
Consider the fact that there are many physical factors that determine who might be most affected by the virus or not. As said, these include age- and health-related functions. Smokers will most likely become sicker than non-smokers, and so on. What if one of the issues is our original energetic signature? If our signature is less viable and blurrier, if there are “gaps” or lots of spaces between our signature and our organic functions, we might be more vulnerable to the virus.
Cyndi might like readers of Energy Healing for Trauma Stress and Chronic Illness to take away with them after reading this book that when people with chronic illnesses and challenges come to me, they usually tell me similar stories. They’ve addressed their problems in a wide variety of ways, including various branches of allopathic medicine, psychotherapy, and complementary and alternative medicine practices, and maybe they’ve experienced a certain degree of healing or relief, but something is still missing. They may not know what it is, but something is keeping them from feeling the way they want to feel—the way they know, deep in their hearts, they could feel—whether that’s happy or comfortable, safe or loved, whole or free, something is keeping them from healing to their original energy signature. The piece they’re missing is energy—or, more specifically, subtle energy. In our work together, Cyndi introduces them to the unseen but very powerful energies that govern everything in our world, including us. Together, we look at the various parts of their subtle anatomy, including the invisible centers, fields, and pathways within and around our physical body, and how these parts have been or are being affected by subtle energies. I show them how, very often, the unaddressed energetic damage from traumatic stressors and our subtle anatomy’s response to them eventually manifests in the physical body as chronic illnesses, which include autoimmune disorders. It can manifest on the physical level as other chronic challenges, too, such as addictions, learning disabilities, behavioral concerns, or recurring psychological, emotional, or relationship patterns that don’t seem to shift no matter how they’re addressed. Together, my clients and I uncover the subtle energies of trauma, the energies involved in the stress response the trauma has triggered, and the energies underpinning their chronic illnesses and challenges. Then we work with their subtle anatomy and other, more helpful energies to move them toward the healing they seek.
We thank Cyndi Dale author of Energy Healing for Trauma Stress and Chronic Illness for sharing a lifetime of insights into the world of energy medicine and a clearer view of how to use this awareness to heal and harness the power of Universal Truths so people can shed fear and immerse themselves in a channel of oneness and unity to all life and to raising our vibration to a higher level of consciousness.
In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within,” Cyndi Dale has shown with clarity how trauma experienced often in childhood may manifest down the road in illness dysfunction autoimmune disease, how we might whether the case of a new virus like covid, to create conditions that impact our level of happiness, joy, and well being, and feeling incomplete or alone. We have come to know that by healing our deep-seated challenges, we emerge as the burnished ember of goodness that we really are, ready to contribute our unique light into the world. We all have the strength to live with trauma and challenges that evolved from any trauma.
Cyndi and Sheryl believe that you’re ready to heal, and to engage life as the magnificent soul being you are complete with courage and hope to improve yourself and our world.
Cyndi wrote, “Before you embark on your own healing adventure, let me share a few additional insights that I’ve gleaned from my years of working with clients. First, the healing you’ll be doing will be deep, and deep healing frequently takes time. Your chronic illnesses and challenges didn’t develop overnight, and they usually don’t disappear overnight either. While I have seen people experience sudden and dramatic improvements as they work with subtle energy, other changes happen gradually. Sometimes you make what you regard as a great leap forward, and then nothing seems to happen for a time. Please trust that however your healing unfolds, it will do so on exactly the schedule that is ideal for you. Second, subtle energy healing is a piece usually missing from our overall healing efforts. It is not a replacement for other pieces, such as allopathic care or other forms of complementary care. The effects of trauma and our responses to it are multifaceted, and your approach to healing needs to be multifaceted too. Sometimes subtle energy healing can help conventional treatments work more effectively; sometimes conventional treatments are needed to set the stage for successful subtle energy work. Don’t deny yourself the benefits of medicine or medical advice or the support of well-trained therapists or practitioners. If you do, you’re just leaving out other important pieces of your healing. Finally, know that you’re not alone,”
Cyndi and Sheryl might hope you look at any perceived illness or challenge as an opportunity to learn more about who you really are as a spiritual being experiencing at the moment a physical life and then begin to remember that perhaps you created this supposed illness or trauma for your soul to rise above it to greater awareness love compassion for yourself and life. Don’t think in terms of good or bad. Think in terms of the eternal subtle nature of life itself and that thought alone may set you free.
Sheryl Glick, host of “Healing From Within” author of her newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which hopes to awaken in readers knowledge of Universal Energetic Laws and the support we have from Spirit most especially in these changing and challenging times invites you to her website www.sherylglick.com to read about and listen to leaders and visionaries in the fields of metaphysics science spirituality medicine law and the arts and science as we seek greater awareness of the true nature of all life.

Dream big. Today we profile Adrian Kooistra, an Australian author living with Cerebral Palsy who has written the “Fletcher Babysits” series of children’s books.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Adrian Kooistra is an Australian author living with Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy is a disorder that affects the part of the brain that controls a person’s mobility. It also affects speech…but it cannot take away your imagination and it cannot stop you from dreaming. Adrian can testify to that.
His dream was to become a writer and he is doing that. He has written a number of poems and a series of children’s books. It’s the children’s books that we are focusing on today. The Fletcher babysits series to be specific.
Adrian’s Interpreter – Fletcher Babysits a Crocodile, Fletcher Babysits a Goat and Fletcher Babysits a Camel.
That is one of Adrians helpers. Being non-Verbal he speaks through the use of an interpreter.
Fletcher is a young boy who lives in Sydney Australia, just like Adrian and babysits unusual animals.
Adrian’s Interpreter…that gets up to all sorts of mischief.
Yes they do. In the first book a baby crocodile was causing some mischief and Fletcher was able to sort out the fact that he was just hungry.
Adrian’s Interpreter – It’s not often a boy babysits a crocodile.
You got that right. It’s one of the things that makes this series of books so much fun.
In the second book we find a demanding goat wreaking havoc until Fletcher realizes he’s just bored.
In the most recent book “Fletcher Babysits a Camel” Adrian introduces us to a baby camel owned by some circus owners who spared no expense to fly Fletcher off to a far off city to investigate the problem involving an old shoe. It’s very clever.
Adrian’s Interpreter – Quirky, funny, big, colorful, enjoyable and fun.
Yes they are. That’s another thing Cerebral Palsy does not do — take away your sense of humor.
Adrian’s Interpreter – I think my favorite part was working with the Illustrator to get the pictures bright and colorful.
They are very colorful. The illustrations were done by Sam Thomas.
All the books in the Fletcher series are a little bit cheeky and educational too. They’re geared toward kids between the ages of four and eight.
Adrian’s Interpreter – Not just children, adults love it too.
Guilty. I mean if you’re going to get the most out of story time it helps if you can enjoy the story too.
I found Adrian to be a real inspiration. He’s a shining example of how everyone is capable of achieving their dream. All they have to do is try.
Adrian’s Interpreter – My challenges as an author are much different to most. It’s so hard to write if I can’t just pick up a pen and go. I need help at all times to write and live my life so it’s amazing to me that I’m an author now.
If you’re looking for something fun to read consider The Fletcher Babysits series by Adrian Kooistra. Choose your favorite or better yet, just get them all. Fletcher Babysits a Crocodile, Fletcher Babysits a Goat and Fletcher Babysits a Camel.
I can’t wait to see what he babysits next. Maybe a Wallaby or a Koala — how about a Dingo? I know, stay in your lane Sam.
All of the books are available now online at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Xlibris or you can reach out to Adrian directly on Instagram at adriankooistra_author. I’m sure he’d love to hear from you. There are links to all those places in the show’s description. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com
Adrian was recently featured on the Books on Air podcast at webtalkradio.com and on the Talking Books show with JT Crowley.

Being in Sales and Sales Management for over four decades, I have seen all the good, the bad, and the ugly regarding leadership skills.
At times during this time frame, I have been pleased, but I have been mostly horrified at what Sales Managers deem motivational coaching versus punitive.
Many years ago, when I was learning and growing my sales skills, I had what I would call a sales manager who did everything wrong. I mostly learned what not to do and felt like I came up the ranks struggling most of the time versus feeling confident.
Since I started my business two decades ago, there has been a movement to change the sales paradigm to a more service-oriented, loving, caring, and respectful communication exchange. I have also noticed that it all starts at the leadership level.
About Rene Zamora:
Rene and I will discuss how Fractional Sales Management is helping business owners and sales managers grow with their sales teams.
Rene focuses on structure, education, and motivation for lasting change. His everyday purpose is to encourage and teach others. In the business world, this is played out through his Fractional Sales Management business, Sales Manager Now.

In this episode, I discuss how fear can steal freedom and lives. Fear is a natural survival response to the environment when the senses feel threatened. When a fear response takes lives, it is a destructive resource. I thought sharing the podcast I did a few years ago called “Fear Survivor” would be a good idea. Join me in this rebroadcast and focus on how fear controls freedom.
We look at fear from an outside point of view—the marketing of fear as an entertainment commodity versus an event’s reaction. I will guide us through the response of fear and where fear is born. This podcast is not a therapy session. Its purpose is to provide educational information about fear. Fear is a survivor’s response to the body. The residual or after-effects of fears can interfere with life. Sometimes professional help is needed to guide us out of the clutches of fear souvenirs. If you need assistance, please get in touch with your healthcare professional. In this episode, I share an example of a terrifying personal experience and the fear-souvenirs which interfered with my life at a very young age. With the knowledge of mindfulness, awareness, and relaxation breathing, I am happy to share tips on how to put out the fire of the haunting paralyzing effects of fear. The process takes time and a positive growth mindset to move on.
Having crafted a translatable, actionable vision based on the critical few areas of potential strategic focus you have identified, it is now time to chart a Strategic Path. The Strategic Path lists the strategies necessary to propel your organization toward achieving its vision. You then convert your Strategic Path into a Master Plan which serves as a guiding document for you and your leadership team to implement, monitor, and, when and as necessary, modify your strategies in moving forward.
Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Lilly Walters
“The success of your presentation will be judged not by the knowledge you send but by what the listeners receive.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/-FZpcsTyBwgCheck Out These Highlights:
I remember the first time I was asked to speak in front of over 100 people; I fell flat on my face. It was awful; I feared I had accepted a Regional Sales Manager position where I needed to speak monthly at regional meetings to inspire people to build deeper client relationships and grow their sales.
So, what did I do? I cried all the way home, fearing I would fail the following week when I needed to present again. You can imagine it was one tough and very long week building up to that second presentation.
I nervously got back on the horse the following week for my second meeting. I prepared like a crazy person, and I received a standing ovation at the end of the second event.
Truthfully, I wanted to burst into tears at the end, thankful that I had completed the presentation without throwing up!
Here’s the deal. Everyone is a public speaker. As soon as you open your mouth and start to speak, it is public. Speaking is a brilliant way to reach a bigger audience to build your brand, get known, and get clients.
Reality check, most people avoid it due to fear. And it shows up in our lives as procrastination and self-doubt.

She helps her students decrease their pain responses, anxiety, and stress levels while increasing their mobility, flexibility, strength, and balance. And best of all, her students are sleeping better.
Michele shares from her heart her very personal experience of how yoga helped her through one of the most challenging times in her life, when she was struggling, as so many do, to conceive a baby.

Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick RMT Medium and author of a trilogy with the newest book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shows us our challenges in these difficult times are not economic political or societal but a deep disconnect from our inner soul wisdom. We welcome Sagar Constantin a best -selling Scandinavian author whose new book The Life shares “The In Between” a temporary home for people who pass from their physical bodies before their time, and are allowed to decide whether to return to their lives on Earth, or move on to the next stage in their soul development. Some may have called this experience a Near-death experience, or the world between worlds their personal sanctuary.
As listeners of Healing From Within over the years have come to expect from listening to my amazing guest and authors who share stories and insights into the quality of life, both our spiritual and physical components as we come to realize the true nature of a human life journey is to gather experiences refining our energy and thoughts and realizing where we come from, who we are, and how to live life by merging our many energies and awarenesses .
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Sagar Constantin shares how the idea for The In Between Series came to her on the way home from a business trip in India. Sagar has a remarkable ability to make psychological issues easy to understand for personal growth while being highly entertained at the same time. We will glimpse a view of the Afterlife as well as explore the choices that are available to us both on earth and beyond.
When Sagar is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to her, or those around her, the interests, values, and lifestyle she shows us in the following paragraph what she might pursue as an adult for it seems the soul has a life path, and it unfolds as we move forward in developing our lives. Sagar writes in this paragraph, and we can tell some of the influences of her childhood that guided her to write and share spiritual thoughts with his readers Sagar writes, “I am not the type who scares easily, but I must admit that some‐ times I can’t help thinking about how I would react if something suddenly happened, that is, something critical. Would I act heroically and be the one who takes over and calms the other passengers, or would I save my skin and hope for the best? My mother has always said that I was born under a lucky star. I think she’s right. It seems like things just come to me when I am in need. Not that I just lean back and wait passively; I am not the type who goes around searching for a lucky chance. Deep down, I believe that I will be alright, and everything will be one. That is, at least until I’m not meant to be here anymore.
Sagar shows us what the book and her search for a greater understanding of life is all about. This paragraph might show what the book is about…”While on an airplane there is strong turbulence and then….My gaze fixes on Thomas, who is now sitting next to me. He is wearing a long blue silk shirt with a simple gold thread that forms a pattern of cascading flowers from the shoulders downward. The upper part of the garment hangs loosely, revealing his muscular body. He looks like a prince from a fairytale, which makes me confident that this is a dream. Thomas places his hand on my shoulder and supports me as I sit up. The room changes: it is as if the walls are moving. Am I on drugs? Have I gone crazy? If this is a dream, I would like to wake up now and be on my way. I’ve got a plane to catch and a family waiting at home. “Welcome to In-Between,” Thomas speaks slowly and clearly, looking at me and smiling so I can see his beautiful white teeth. His eyes sparkle as he talks and become even more transparent. “In be—what did you say?” I mumble and let my eyes wander while I move my head in small jerks. “In-Between,” Thomas repeats calmly. He seems to be very understanding. “Come, I’ll show you around.”
“Hey, wait for me,” I call after Thomas. “I’m coming.” I feel almost like a small child trying to keep up with an adult who has much longer legs. With careful steps, I pass through the opening and enter a large room. My eyes widen, and a shiver runs down my back. It is so bright, light, and open, but there are still walls of some kind. I can’t feel my feet, and I squeeze my hands together tightly. My brain can’t make any sense of this place. I don’t know what it is that I’m seeing. Thomas stops walking and waits for me to approach. “The place we just came from is the reception area.” He turns toward me when I join him. His arms hang loosely along the sides of his body, and he projects serenity. “That is where everyone who comes here lands. I am one of those appointed to receive new people and ensure that you get settled comfortably. Over here is our center, and from here, you enter In-Between and can move about freely.
You are in between life and death,” Thomas speaks calmly. “In-Between is a place where people come if they have left Earth before their time, or if they are not ready to leave their lives there, but have been forced to, as in your case, because of an accident.” He pauses and takes my hand that is cold and sweaty. “You could say that people get an extra chance here to continue their lives or to take leave properly.” He looks right into my eyes, leaving me no other choice than to return his gaze. “We are a sort of reception and rest center,” he says with a subdued and unhurried voice. “We receive people and give them the opportunity to continue at a suitable pace. It is important that people depart from their lives on Earth in a proper manner. Both for their own sakes but also for the sake of their loved ones.” My eyebrows are wrinkled, and I pull back my long hair. I don’t believe in life after death! Slowly I exhale and raise my head. “I have a son named Luke. What about him? Does he know yet? He’s with his father.” Thomas shakes his head, stands up slowly, and pushes a chair toward me. “The images you see are in real-time. It’s been 45 minutes since the plane went down.
Sheryl says to Sagar that she was once a skeptic about spiritual life or an afterlife, until 29 years ago when she began to have dreams and mystical coincidental, synchronistic, happenings that she realized couldn’t be happening randomly. Years of study travel and dedication to meditation and talking to Spirit led to her writing a trilogy of books from her journaling, which she was told to do by a medium many years earlier, who also told her to take yoga so she could slow her fast- moving energy and mind and become aware of energy in all its aspects. My stories came to me in meditation dreams and visions guided by spirit.
When Sagar is asked if she has a motto quote or philosophy to live by she responds by saying, “ The motto might be what Thomas the guide in the In -Between says to Eva…..
Thomas speaks deliberately, and I must concentrate in order not to think about anything else. “In my experience, when people become sick or die, it happens for a reason. There is something we must learn. If we listen and learn and enter the experience, then we can develop.” His voice is smooth as silk. I turn my head, and our eyes meet. “You are here because it is uncertain whether you will leave your mortal life now or not. There may be more for you to learn on Earth.” Other than Thomas’s voice, the only sound is the whistling of the wind.
The book The Life is relevant now because people have got to learn to be in the present and not waste time by being in the past or worrying about the future. There are reasons why some people slow their own progress and Sagar wrote “I’m staring into the distance, still far from convinced of the existence of previous or future lives, but I’m saying nothing to Thomas. I force myself to concentrate. His words will drift by on the wind, devoid of meaning if I don’t. The concepts and experiences here are coming at me so quickly. I need time to take it all in. There is a sense of loving care and openness from Thomas, even from In-Between itself, but my brain is trying to hold onto what I know. But I find it harder and harder to hold on. Sometimes I must fight just to see an image of Luke in my thoughts. What is happening to me? A knot in my stomach tightens. The idea of losing myself, my real self, frightens me. I sigh and clench my teeth slightly. Thomas observes me without saying anything. His eyes are relaxed, and he is breathing evenly. I can’t help but wonder where he gets all that tranquility. Part of me fears that he will quickly tire of me and my uncertainties. “Let me put it like this.” He cocks his head slightly. “There can be many different reasons that people come to a standstill in their lives or never pursue their dreams, or whatever it is that they long for. It takes a lot of courage to dare to look inward. But we all have opportunities to develop, to learn something new, and to let our souls’ advance.” He pauses and looks out at the horizon where clouds build up and form a beautiful landscape in many different shades of red. “There are some who choose to take what we call a ‘resting’ incarnation; that is, they don’t have major goals for themselves. Others give themselves almost inhuman challenges.”
When Sagar is asked if you can read any of the books, or should the reader begin with the first book? Sheryl says she feels whatever book the reader is drawn to is the one to start with. Sheryl has found that when she picks up a book if she just turns to any random page there will be a message or thoughts that are appropriate for her at that moment in time and an insight that could be meaningful and offer guidance in whatever issues she is dealing with…It seems our guides, angels, higher vibrational beings, the Divine are close by and helping us navigate challenges to move us forward. In her trilogy Sheryl’s first book Life Is No Coincidence: The Life and Afterlife Connection is about her awakening to Universal truths. Her second book A New Life Awaits Answers for Healing and Infinite Love is about developing and utilizing her Reiki hands on healing and mediumship abilities to download information from Spirit or transforming much of her old thinking to new realizations about energy and life here and beyond. The third book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening is about transcending life’s challenges to refine and create your best life here each day and then, beyond this physical life.
Sagar might want readers to take away with them after reading her books is that each soul and the life they create even before they are born, is unique and arranged so the soul can refine their energy and adapt to all situations for further growth and development. Your life will offer many challenges and opportunities, and it is how you approach and move through these experiences that allow you to either maintain, balance, find harmony, love compassion or choose suffering and remain stuck in negative energies.
Sagar writes, “There are some who choose to take what we call a ‘resting’ incarnation; that is, they don’t have major goals for themselves. Others give themselves almost inhuman challenges.” A resting incarnation is certainly not of the sun trying unremittingly to break through, and the clear blue sky as a background. Why can’t I just relax and enjoy it? “Are you telling me that everything is predetermined?” I shake my head, grimacing. “No, but the opportunities are there. It’s up to you to take advantage of them.” “Yes, that’s easy for you to say.” My words come out more harshly than I intended, but I’m not offering an apology. Thomas seems unaffected by my sharp tone of voice. “Let me put it like this. You may find that your life goes in circles. You face the same challenges repeatedly, as if you are a needle stuck in a groove on a vinyl record and the record just keeps spinning round and round. You attract the same types of people, and the same sorts of things keep happening to you.” The simplicity of the image seems to make sense to me. I manage to speak evenly and without an edge to my voice. “Hmm. Let’s say that you’re right. How can you get out of the groove?” I stretch my legs and cross my arms over my chest. When Thomas looks at me, I quickly let my arms fall along my sides. “First, you must be aware that you are stuck in the groove. Then you need to be ready to let go of what you already know, whatever thoughts and behavior are long-established and secure in your life.” He speaks evenly in a low voice. “…Only then is it possible for you to get out of the groove. You can do that in many ways. It isn’t until you achieve a deeper understanding within that the changes will manifest outwardly, such as moving to a new home, finding a new job, or meeting a new friend or a lover. Changes can appear in many forms. What is characteristic is that before changes take place, you must learn something and begin a new way of living.”
We thank Sagar Constantin for sharing her views on Life in all its intimate and unusual ways for us to know ourselves more completely, and to find peace through knowledge, compassion, love, and intention.
In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Sagar Constantin has shared a fictional story of her characters finding the heart and soul of the matter by realizing who we are and what life is all about. Sagar writes about a woman who is in the In-Between between life and death for a review of her life and to decide or choose whether to move on to life after death or return to her physical life. She has just been in a plane crash and is in a coma. Sagar writes “Take you, for example.” He pauses. “You have a choice every single moment. You can choose to focus on the fact that you are not with Luke, your son, or that you would like to return, or that your body is sore. You can also choose to be thankful that you were on board that airplane, that you are here now, and that you can get to know yourself even better.” I sit with a stone face, not offering Thomas my spirit guide helping me navigate the In-Between any reaction. What he is saying is very logical and quite simple. But I can’t see why I should be thankful I was on that plane. I would rather go home. And my body is sore; that is a fact. A small cloud passes over us, and for a second, we are completely invisible. It is cool, and I must wave away the mist with my hand to see Thomas. He is sitting there passively. “Every single moment of our lives, we have a choice. We can choose to focus on the negative or the positive. To a great extent, it depends on our attitude toward life. We can choose to enter each experience with the intent that something exciting can happen and that something can benefit us. Alternatively, we can expect that it is going to be a bore, that we are wasting time, or we can feel us.
Sagar and I would have you know that life’s challenges will come and go and if we think of them as neither good nor bad, we will navigate the waters of time and space more advantageously, than if we judge, or allow negative thoughts to flood our minds and hearts. The world and life are a gift for all souls to begin to understand the nature of creation, eternal energy and life that never ends.

Movies intrigue us for various reasons. One of the primary reasons is that movies reflect human nature. They span many areas of our lives: personal relationships, the future, what history teaches, the search for truth and so on.
What is truth? I have observed that it is pretty much what each individual concludes for themselves. Which is why I am calling truth “illusive.” So this week I am taking 3 movies that revolve around three different nuances of truth. What might they teach us? Here I share what I have found.

The Author
Mary Angela Allen is an American author from Carlsbad a small community town in the southeast region of the US state of New Mexico. When I looked at where Mary currently resides, I quickly realised that Carlsbad is the gateway to the Carlsbad Caverns National Park and for bat lovers this is a must visit place particularly at eventide when vast swarms of bats can be seen exiting the caves as they take to the night skies in search of food.
Born on the 16th of August 1952 in Alamogordo, New Mexico, Mary was the second of seven children, four boys and three girls, she’s married to Kelly and has two grown up sons Michael and Anthony. From an early age she developed a mature singing talent as a soprano and began to sing in local festivities and school functions. Mary won several talent contests in school and sang in variety shows in high school and college.
Mary went to Eastern New Mexico University where she was awarded a bachelor’s degree in Music Elementary Education, followed by a master’s in Reading Education. Mary went on to teach in several public schools in New Mexico for nigh on twenty-eight years.
While in college Mary relinquished her life to serve the Lord and began to sing in churches of various denominations as a means of expressing her adoration for God. Mary also joined the Carlsbad Community and Martin Luther King choirs.
The book, ‘Living the High Note’ was, like so many books written during the Covid Pandemic as authors with unprecedented time on their hands penned the next book. Mary was no exception to this impromptu forward planning strategy; thus, her book was born.
Mary continues to sing for the Lord, for her, her voice is an act of empowerment that enables her to have a close and lasting relationship with God no matter what path her life takes her on, albeit a righteous or not so righteous choice. Mary fervently believes she has a calling, and that God will always be by her side.
The Book
When, like myself you read Mary’s book you’ll quickly grasp that the story within is all about Mary’s own relationship with God at varying times throughout her life particularly around what she sees as ill-judged choices and equally at times of great rejoicing.
The book deals with everyday life and how Mary sees her relationship with her saviour at pivotal points on her journey on this planet. Mary views God as all encompassing, but to get the best of God’s undying love you must surrender to him. Mary admits in the book that at the time the Lord entered her being, her life, in her view was in chaos as her relationship with men which she covers off under ‘The Three Wells,’ reveals. Many of you will probably take the standpoint, well that’s just life! But for Mary quite the contrary, however she does accept that there were times in her life that she lived for the moments of fun albeit as she best puts it those flashes of delight were short lived.
Living for God has made life more enjoyable, peaceful and purposeful for Mary, something that comes across very strongly in the book. The purpose of the book is showing others how God can have such a huge impact on our everyday lives, something Mary advocates to those around her always.
The book is divided into six chapters.
Finding hope in a Saviour
Finding Power in the Holy Spirit
Finding and Facing Inner Selfishness A Dream of Three Wells
Finding Restoration through others
Finding the Mission from God
Finding Living Blessings.

The Fletcher Babysits Series
These books are aimed at 4–8-year-olds.
There are three books in the series so far:
Book 1: Fletcher Babysits a Crocodile
This is an endearing story of Fletcher’s encounter with a baby crocodile that was causing some grief to some nearby neighbours who had just bought the croc. I have to say the adventures here are fun as Fletcher tries to unravel what’s up with this very playful young creature. The answer is simple, feed it!
Sam Thomas’ illustration are bright, eye-catching and fun.
At the end of the book are some fun facts about crocodiles and crossword puzzle for children to do.
Book 2: Fletcher Babysits a Goat
This delightful story of another of young Fletcher’s adventures involves a trip to a farm on Tasmania where an unruly prize-winning goat is giving the farm owners the run around destroying everything in its path. Exasperated they call on Fletcher to sort the mischievous little goat out. At first Fletcher is perplexed as what to do and in fact is rather scared off the demanding goat, but he quickly realises that the goat is just bored and suggests the farmers get it lots of toys to play with and maybe a friend. With the issue resolved Fletcher collects is pocket money and goes home.
Like in all the books at the end Adrian gives children some fun facts about the animals in the story as well as a game for them to engage with. In this book there’s a word search. The book is beautifully supported by Sam Thomas’ magical illustrations.
Book 3: Fletcher Babysits a Camel
This is another wonderful story of Fletcher’s adventures. Fletcher is a young boy who loves looking after other people’s pets especially when he gets pocket money. In this book Fletcher gets a request to look after a baby camel with no expenses spared from the owners who turn out to be circus owners having problems with a rather boisterous baby camel. What’s exciting for Fletcher this time is that the adventure involves a flight to a far-off city. Fletcher is surprised at the destination but quickly adapts to his surroundings, he soon realises what the problem is and with an old shoe solves the issue before flying back home with a large amount of pocket money. Again, Sam Thomas’ bright and vivid illustrations bring a splash of colour to an adorable but simple story.
Like in all his books Adrian has at the end some fun facts and in this book an unscrambling of words to describe the scene.

The Author
Wayne Rankin is an American author from Texas in the US. He’s a retired Master Sergeant from the US Airforce where he served for twenty years. Wayne has been married to his wife Margaret for some considerable time and he refers to her as his rock, the person who understands him better than himself. It’s nearly always that way, your partner knowing you more than you are knowing yourself.
When he left the Air Force Wayne went on to earn a Master’s degree in Human Resources and Procurement as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Organisational Management from Colorado Christian University where he was given the honorary title of Magna Cum Laude (with great praise).
With military life behind him so to speak he went to Misawa Air Base in Japan where he worked as the logistic Manager for Lockheed Martin. Several years later he returned to the US and began working for ITT Systems Division, Lear Siegler, EG &G and URS before starting his own business in 2005 LOGMET LLC. Today he’s the CEO of the company he founded with 400 employees and a gross annual turnover of $20 million.
When you chat to Wayne you get the clear feeling, he’s a man that can best be described as an opportunist, willing to take chances with all the ventures he has carried out in his life, for him setbacks are minor adjustments to be learnt from. He might be a successful man in the civilian world but like many retired military personnel you can’t take the military out of them it will always be there in the background. Wayne has come from nowhere to somewhere with all the bumps along the way and this journey of his underpins the message in his book Wayne, the Nerd from Arizona, for it is about his early days growing up as a child through to adulthood simply told through the eyes of the character Wayne.

https://youtu.be/d7hVVToTHHAThe Book
This children’s book with its idealistic illustrations for me is perfect for 5–8-year-olds to look at and read depending on their reading ability, every child I know has varying degrees of reading skills so let’s include everyone here in the age range I’ve mentioned.
The story is based on the character Wayne, and the kids that make up the nerd gang. There are relationships with themselves and those around them in their peer group. It’s a story of how Wayne and his nerd gang transgress from caterpillars to beautiful butterflies, spotty kids to young people with promising futures. The plot is built around kids that attend military school on the bases their parents are posted to. Why the Military background you might ask well that’s simple, the author himself as I’ve already said comes from a military backdrop and he’s merely drawing on his own experiences. Wayne the author is Wayne the character. Wayne in the book is a character that finds it hard to adapt to constant changes in his life as he follows his father around the world. Friendships for him don’t come easy.
It’s a thrilling book for young minds!

The Grand Old Party is no longer the party of Lincoln, even though they refer to Abraham Lincoln continuously. It is apparent that the party has lost its way.
But why?
In this critical analysis, Dr. Daniel B. Brubaker explores why Republicans have had difficulty distinguishing fact from fiction and why many party leaders continue to spin conspiracy theories and lies.
He examines the neuropsychological development of toddlers and explains why and how some Republicans are acting like children. He concludes some leaders in the Republican Party have antisocial personality disorders.
The Republicans frequently direct their fear toward Democrats by calling the other side socialists. This is fearmongering. Today’s Republicans do not understand socialism or utilitarianism; they are simply buzzwords used to invoke fear.
Join the author as he explores the far-right nationalist agenda of the Republican Party, how it was usurped by a clinically psychopathic president, and what crowd psychology can tell us about how the party has evolved.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Ayn Rand

Reflecting on today’s quote, I started thinking about my first job after college and how I quickly outgrew that organization. I wanted to apply for the open sales position and was told that the company would not allow the regional manager to promote me because it was a man’s job. True story.
So, what did I do? I left to pursue a sales job without a steady paycheck. I chose the sales path because it would allow me to create my desired future and not be told by someone what I was limited to becoming.

During this episode, the goal is to mentally step back and see how what we are going through is a transition. Change is constant, whether we are aware of it or not. When we go through changes or transitions, those changes take work. The transition can represent the process of growth. Understanding the transition process gives our brain information on what to be aware of in how our body responds to a change. We can focus on our emotions and thinking as we adapt to the change. The process may be uncomfortable, and it may take work. We also can be aware of how that change affects us and our environment.
In this podcast, I guide you through reflections and awareness of lessons learned from experiencing rejection and pain when doors of opportunities are closed. We will explore the strengths we gained to prepare us for new ventures and beginnings.

You may think that you and your spouse don’t communicate. But the truth is, you are never not communicating. It might be that you don’t like what the other is expressing. It might be that you are communicating at different levels. It might be that the surface level way you normally communicate leaves you feeling disconnected and unheard. Marriage and Family Therapist Carole Cullen introduces the concept of emotional connection and how you can use it to feel more loved and satisfied in your marriage.
If you’d like help getting better at communication so you feel more connected, Lesli can help. Please share Happily Ever After is Just The Beginning with those you care about on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

The Praying Mantis is a woman who likes to dominate and control men. Most women would stop at that, but some want to see how far their domination could take them. Could that include murder? This episode is based on the book, “The Lure of the Praying Mantis”by David Gaston.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Oh boy do we have a treat for you today and we begin with two words: Sexual Cannibalism. Some of the most famous sexual cannibalistic animals in nature are the South American green anaconda and of course the infamous Black Widow Spider — technically I guess that’s an insect — but my all time favorite is the Praying Mantis. She uses her wily ways of seduction to lure in a mate. She lets him do his little dance and hop onto her back but once he begins to mate, she bites off his head. What’s even more fascinating is that they never learn. Well, they have the brain of an insect….
David Gaston – I’ve met some women in the past that have been praying mantises. They’ve not always been straightforward with me but it made me wonder how far they would go.
Some women thrive on being dominated and controlled by men as long as it’s on their terms. So what happens when things go too far. When a simple safe-word perhaps is not enough. Would they resort to murder? Or better yet would they use their powers of manipulation to get others to do their killing for them.
David Gaston – Well there’ve been court cases involving women. They’ve not killed anyone but someone acting for them has and it makes me wonder why were these men doing what these women wanted?
That’s David Gaston, author of the book The Lure of the Praying Mantis. The story is based on some very real court cases but the book is a work of fiction. It’s about Anne-Marie De Wynter, our Femme Fatale and what she did to her victim Benny Gordon. The cases he just referred to suggest that murder is definitely an option for the real-life Praying Mantis as long as she can get someone else to do the killing for her.
David Gaston – In these court cases what they wanted was someone killed. it was the men who got done for it. Not the women.
Armed with the legal knowledge and personality traits of these manipulative women David set out to weave a tale of deceit and murder.
Enter Anne-Marie De Wynter and so begins the evolution of a Praying Mantis.
David Gaston – She starts out as a school girl playing with boys and making them do things they don’t want to do and gradually goes into the workplace. She starts playing with another man and he just happens to be married to the boss’s daughter. She wants a man killed simply because he’s been acting like her uncle and she was playing up to him but he sort of rejected her and she didn’t like that so she found a bit of a slow thinking Bennie and she was able to manipulate him to actually kill the Uncle.
And whenever you have a murder there is usually someone assigned to try and solve it. The case of the Praying Mantis falls on the desk of Detectives Buchan and Durham. Bad news for Anne-Marie.
David Gaston – I created two detectives that work well together and they were able to crack the case.
A bit of an oversimplification but yes, they do eventually catch up with the praying mantis when she stepped outside her normal behavior and chose to do her own killing.
(Excerpt. Chapter One)
Men were her target, and her sexuality was her weapon. AnneMarie was attractive, although she could never be considered an entrant for a beauty contest. Her blond hair was shoulder length and curly, her face was round with blue eyes and an engaging smile. Anne-Marie ate frugally so that her ample charms remained deliciously ample rather than overpoweringly ample. She knew what men liked and so she dressed and behaved as though she would offer it all, but without giving anything. Life is all about give and take; well men would give, and Anne-Marie would take.
Men found her sexually attractive, and Anne-Marie knew it. This was the source of her power, and she used it mercilessly. She was in command, always in command. She would psychologically castrate them by degrading their names into an effeminate, almost childlike, form. So, Michael became Mickey, Timothy became Timmy, and William became Willy. She dominated them like a mother figure, making them do things that they otherwise would not want to do.
You know the type…
David Gaston – The praying mantis could turn up anywhere.
Which might not be such a bad thing after all. According to a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, females who eat their male partners after sex produce more eggs than those who don’t. By eating the male it ensures that he is still able to provide for his offspring, even though he’s dead….just sayin.…but guys, if you don’t want this to be your fate David offers these words of warning as you head into your next relationship.
David Gaston – Be on the watch. Try and find out what you can about them if they actually are who they say they are because they might want you to do something for them and you might not want to do it.
So guys…don’t lose your head over her. Sorry I couldn’t resist. The lesson today is while you might not be asked to do murder make sure you are aware of whether or not she’s a genuine friend or just trying to lure you in to manipulate you for her own advantage. It might be a seductive temptress, a praying mantis at work trying to lure you into a fate you did not bargain for.

This episode is based on the book The Dogs are Curling up Again by Margaret H Townley where political exile Isabel returns to her native Chile where things are very different.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Chrissie Hynde said it in her song, My City was Gone. “…I went back to Ohio. But my pretty countryside. Had been paved down the middle. By a government that had no pride…” Do you know the song? Sometimes nostalgia can be a dangerous thing because things often change in ways that we don’t always agree with. It also gives us a sharpened perspective on the reality of the situation.
Imagine for a moment that you left the town of your birth. You moved to another country all together. However, after fourteen years, the place where you live just doesn’t feel like home. So you go back, but things there have changed as well. It is now very different. It’s a divided country; one you feel equally estranged from. It doesn’t feel like the home it once was. You feel displaced, disorganized and unsettled…and many other things. Are you gonna do something about it?
Margaret H Townley – Well she embarks on the activism feeling its the only way really to search for the country she remembers
That’s Margaret H Townley, author of the book “The Dogs are Curling up Again”. When we talk about a divided country that doesn’t feel like the one you grew up in sounds very much like our own beloved United States of America but it is not. Her story takes place in Chile and the UK more on that in a moment but I just wanted to point out that while the countries are different the overarching themes in this book are relatable to many other places. Kind of like the title….
Margaret H Townley – When I first arrived in Chile it was winter and they do have dogs living in the street. Many local people are very fond of their dogs. I never saw a dog in a bad condition but they live outside. To them its the normal place that dogs should be and in the winter, when it’s cold at night, they curl themselves into perfect circles which is fun to see.
Imagine dogs of all kinds curled up in perfect circles dotting the winter landscape. It’s a great visual and it made such an impression on her that she used it as an analogy for her story and the title of the book. The dogs are symbolic of Chilean dictators that are indifferent to the feelings of the people they are supposed to be serving.
So the protagonist of the story is Isabel. She loses her father and boyfriend in the military so she decides to exile in the UK.
Margaret H Townley – And then when she goes into exile she loses her mother she loses her friends. she loses her culture and her country, a continent even and you know it’s a big step and she always felt an outsider I think as many Chileans do and refugees in general do in this country.
So fourteen years later Isabel goes home, but as you and I both know, you can never really go home; Especially after that long a time.
Margaret H Townley – She was as estranged there as in England
The country she once knew is not that same so Isabel decides to do something about it by becoming a political activist
Margaret H Townley – Well she embarks like you said on the activism and feeling it was the only way really to search for the country underneath the white washed crimes of the dictatorship that are beings or to washed over and the stranglehold that the military still has on the society and the constitution that the dictator imposed which was so unjust to many sections of the community.
It’s a great premise and it’s like what I was talking about in the beginning. What are our duties as citizens and what are our responsibilities in the face of injustice? Do we stand up and make our voices heard or accept the status quo? It’s a very relatable concept but this story is about much more than just politics. It’s also a love story.
Margaret H Townley – She becomes the lover of this Chilean man and he’s very supportive of the work she wants to achieve but then her English partner that she’d been with for seven years or so before she returned to Chili gets a message to her somehow that he’s searching for her. He’s in Chili. He’s doing voluntary work and um, he’s really there to look for her.
I n t e r e s t i n g. Now we’ve got ourselves in a real situation. A love triangle set in a historic period in a country with amazing geographic diversity during politically tumultuous times. It’s also a story about self-identity. As Isabels searches for hers you can’t help but think about your own. And, if that’s not enough, It also inspires the reader to take a harder look at their personal and political values.
Margaret H Townley – It maybe was a bit presumptuous of me to try and thinking i can step into the shoes of a chilean and really express her experience and yet i felt i had something to say not only for all i’d learned about the society and what I believe a person like that has been through but something to say about my own society as well. I could see when I was in Chili in the late nineties the harshness of life without a welfare state. An adequate welfare state, there was a little or adequate health services and at the same time i knew that in my own society the welfare state was in the process of being destroyed or removed step-by-step and there been this deterioration i think in community and sense of solidarity that’s come about ever since Reagan and Thatcher were bringing in NeoLiberalism which is not very different from what the military imposed in Chili. In Chili it was a sudden military coup, an awful shock and thousands died but in North American and other Western societies and particularly in Britain I feel that there has been this creeping effect that ends up very similar to what’s happened in Chili. Greater poverty, greater inequality. Inequality really bothers me and it is so extreme now. The lack of adequate affordable housing and the lack of adequate funds going into health and education and these erode a sense of community and in fact I think cause a great deal of resentment or bad societal effects that come out of that huge divide between those who have and those who have not.
I know….it’s a lot but that’s what makes it so interesting. There is plenty here to think about. Plenty of layers to peel back and explore. If you are fascinated by other cultures, world news, geography, history and even current affairs then you’ll probably enjoy this story. It will definitely play on your sense of Empathy. To quote Leo Tolstoy, “If you feel pain, you’re alive, if you feel other people’s pain, you’re a human being”.
Margaret H Townley – I think that gives us that responsibility to want to create a better world for all of us.
We all do the best we can right? I don’t think I’m giving too much away by saying Isabel does develop clarity with her issues and the things keeping her from being the person she once was but how she gets there; her journey is what makes The Dogs are Curling up Again by Margaret H. Townley such an interesting read. Look for it online at Amazon.com, Balboa Press, or whoever you like to shop for books. There are links in the show’s description. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.
Be sure and listen to the interview with Margaret H. Townley on the Books on Air Podcast at Webtalkradio.com.

Humor can be a natural reaction in dealing with uncomfortable situations. Join me as I guide our discussion on how to use humor to move through embarrassing situations. Humor can be helpful in lightening events of stressful situations. The first step is to be aware of your reaction to embarrassment. Be very cautious when using humor. Focus on one’s self when using humor. In some situations, humor may be helpful, but using humor from another person’s perspective may not. Not all conditions are appropriate for humor because we are using the tool of humor from our perspective. Use a mindful eye, and be aware that if someone is hurt, traumatized, or in a crisis, the more mindful response is to ask if the person needs help. Sometimes people laugh or smile during stressful or embarrassing situations. They may not be happy. They may be trying to adjust to a stressful or awkward situation. Therefore, bring a sense of loving kindness and compassion as a response to be helpful. Humor is not always appropriate for all cases. Today, I will share examples of using humor to move through an embarrassing situation and reflect on the mindfulness tools to help push through the stress of embarrassment and uncomfortableness.
I give credit to PositivePsychology.com for the stimulating information in “Rewriting the Narrative with Humor”
There’s an expression—if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Could this be the reason for so many marriages to either fail or just be miserable? People fall in love, get into a serious relationship, and then decide to get married. What they often don’t do is talk about what they want their marriage to look like. Dr. Frieda Birnbaum, a research psychologist and psychotherapist, proposes creating an emotional pre-nuptial agreement before saying “I do”.
If you want to create a healthier, happier marriage, Lesli can help. Please share this thought-provoking show with those you care about on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Having discussed the Identity dimension of the Strategic Framework and its two components, Purpose and Core Values, we can now spring from that foundation and work on the Direction dimension, consisting of vision, strategies, andactions. But first you need to get your bearings before starting your journey. That is what conducting a Situational Analysis is all about. The intent of the analysis is to allow you and your leadership team to engage in quality thinking and interacting to identify the critical few areas of strategic focus that you need to work on. The areas of strategic focus that you identify become the bedrock of what I call a translatable, actionable vision.

As listeners of Healing From Within have come to expect over the years, my visionary guests and I share intimate stories and insights into ways to open awareness and reach higher consciousness so we may come to know more about our energetic source of life, navigate turbulent times and live our most authentic lives as spiritual beings having a physical life with the personal power within, to create, manifest, and realize our divine potential and soul right to live in harmony balance love and compassion. In learning more about our dual nature, we discover infinite possibilities to thrive and live the life of our soul dreams.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Les Jensen who has worked in the broadcast television market for 30 years and is an author inspirational speaker radio host and energy master teacher who will share ideas on how to find meaning fulfillment joy and purpose in life offering a view on how to act as your own “Citizen King” to live an exceptional life in your own authentic kingdom created by your heart and soul intention and creation.
In this book Citizen King Les Jensen use the term “Persona. He tells us what that means to him. First Les write, “We must know that we are all made from the same fabric, a vibrant and endless point of human consciousness. We all are the thing itself. We all have a body and our unique personality. And we all have that inner place where our own crafted inspiration flows when nurtured.”
In the model of an old -school movie projector, the light of the projector casts light on the movie film capturing the image and projecting it onto the screen, the place where the movie was actually happening. In this model of a projector the bright light is our soul. It is the source of the movie allowing it to happen at all.
Many people have had their lives turned upside down and cracked open and for millions that was 2020, an unexpected year of tragedies, but you say Citizen King was written just after that kind of incident that changed your life forever…a wake- up call for the soul. Les Jensen’s technical skills led to a successful career in engineering in the broadcast industry, and it was here that he experienced a spiritual awakening. He hadn’t had a spiritual notion of himself before that, but decades of studying the nature of frequency, energy and very high levels of power in television had prepared him for working with the energy of human consciousness. And then his life-path changed. Everything Les had learned about energy would show up in many ways, including his writings. His language was that of karma, emotions, mental stigmas, energy bodies, and levels of consciousness (and the power behind them.) Meanwhile years before becoming an author Les experience.
Many people find common ways to shut down our own power without even knowing it. If focused on the outside world and the many distractions illuminating fear with we begun to shut down our own power when we do not know that everything man has ever created has started as an idea in the mind of human consciousness, Each of us is human consciousness personified and held within that infinite field of potential is the vision of your life that your soul has from the time of your birth. So to open up our power we must accept that we are the captains of our own ship and our thoughts and actions either negative or positive draw the same action or reaction to us.
The Law of Attraction is always in play so as we begin to know ourselves and our deepest desires, we can find ways past our fears and begin to manifest a healthy prosperous and purposeful life of love and compassion Simply put, the Law of Attraction is the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on. It is believed that regardless of age, nationality, or religious belief, we are all Spirit. In the New Thought philosophy, the Law of Attraction is a pseudoscience based on the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person’s…
Les Jensen goes on to tell us we tend to shut down our soul’s potential to create whatever we wish when we have unresolved karma within our own persona so it becomes likely the story that plays out will be more of the past patterns repeating themselves over and over again. It is not until our karma or thought processes are refined that we can truly live the vision of our soul unimpeded.
The story of our collective past has been one of deceit and betrayal and we have been corralled for containment in order to minimize the possibilities we might just fulfill with less influence from the opinions of others. We often are not focused on our dreams but rather of the “collective storyline that the media and society propagate” which prevents us from exploring our inner soul world and magnificent personal power to achieve miracles. In other words we have been manipulated, controlled, and brainwashed, in order to prevent us from disasters that might befall us, but this also prevents us from discovering our own personal kingdom within ourselves.
As a king writing your own creative story each day for each day, you are indeed “a new person” learning to understand how powerful it is to free yourself from the bondage of posturing, the bondage of judgment, the bondage of stagnant beliefs, of emotional posturing. You may have learned that energy is the native language of the universe which needs no human language or dialect to define itself. It is engaged in fluent conversation and interactions from the beginning of time. The energy essence of the idea or thought is the language the universe responds to. We shape it with our words, thoughts and feelings. We boost it with our excitement and joy.
Many of us are also very sensitive people and we can start off intending to create flow, taking new actions on a new idea—a vision of our heart and soul. Perhaps you start to write a book or express your unique opinions about how things should be, and then perhaps receive critical feedback from someone and immediately feel the impulse to shut down the creative process. You may avoid taking steps toward the completion of your inspiration because you got triggered by a person reply or a judgment
Forgiveness and compassion may be directly related to our ability or inability to express ourselves in a powerful way.
Sheryl says that forgiveness releases any guilt or anguish about how you or another person acted or reacted in some event that was less the way you wanted it to go. As nothing is random, if it happened there was something for you or the other person to learn, review, accept change or understand and by forgiving yourself or asking for forgiveness from someone else, you allow yourself to move past the restriction and blockage caused by the feeling of that event that happened. If not, you remain stuck in that energy and repeat it over and over again until you are able to release it. It is extremely powerful to reach this level of soul maturity and be able to forgive, so now you can begin to create a better story in your mind, heart and life. We can express something magnificent, beautiful loving and more in alignment with our soul’s desires, for growth and for understanding the Universal Laws of Energy such as the Law of Attraction. What we give out in the world is returned to us…what we sow we shall reap….what we give we shall receive.
Les Jensen wrote, “When you can forgive and move into compassion for every single life story that is playing out, you are entering the arena of unconditional love and acceptance for the many faces of humanities…..When your heart is pure and you can look at any face of humanity—the hero and the villain, the saint and the sinner, the cop and the criminal—and when you can look at any personification of the human experience and say, But, of course, the universe has no bias against our freedom in making any choice we want. We are making these choices motivated by our own Karma without the ability to err, for it has taken lifetimes to accumulate such deep layers of darkness…yet all is an opportunity to learn the most powerful lessons possible for mastering our human nature. If you can discover your light when the world around you is playing out such darkness then that is the most advanced lesson you can have in the karmic nature of our human demeanor.
Jes tells us of the energy in the form of a life changing moment, when he “broke himself wide open” He felt so much energy pouring out of his personal persona (SOUL) that he went inside his inner self and from that time on started cleaning up whatever he found that didn’t serve his well- being.
Les tells us the role dreams play in our ability to fulfill our life purpose. Les writes, A dream expands as you fulfill it. As one dream is fulfilled another presents itself. You know that the idea, the dream, the inspiration that you have today will come about if you show up for it. Know that the vision your soul shows you is not only possible, but probable, if you simply trust the process itself and honor it with your thoughts and actions. It starts by learning how to trust the power of an idea. That idea comes into creation by moving yourself into alignment into harmony, with the nature, vibration and essence of what the idea represents. What the dream inspires and What the hope fulfills is the life plan established by your soul before you began this physical life..
Something as simple as writing down your dreams brings them into physical form as an idea. To empower your dreams as a sense of genuine possibilities in your life is to take time to fulfill them with your actions. And it involves taking the time to actually sit down and write out the vision of what your future holds for you now. In the book Les talks about sovereignty and dominion and how that relates to our life purpose.
Les Jensen writes, ‘As a “king” you’ll learn to understand how powerful it is to free yourself from the bondages of emotional posturing, judgment, and stagnant beliefs. Like the canvas to a painter, to start fresh, something clean is priceless. How can you bring about a new creation if there is already a tarnish on the canvas? How can you bring a new possibility—a miracle perhaps—into creation if the canvas itself is tainted? If your own personal energy Persona is diluted and polluted by the past how can you create something pure? The purity of your own personal energy decides what kind of a range you have in the creative process. If you’re holding on to large aspects of your past, then the majority of your own personal energy will perpetuate your experience of the past.
To want to be king of your own personal kingdom is the journey itself. It is the process of awakening itself. Consciousness is the creative substances of the universe and you are that consciousness now. There is no end to the creative presence for the process is always on. It continually repeats itself. You cannot deplete the infinite field of possibilities by fulfilling your own inspiration. The creative process of the universe never ends, and you can draw from it all you want, for it is always ready to create again.”
Les talks about the relationship between the ego and the heart and soul, and the importance of healing that relationship and why that is so important.
Les writes, “It’s time for rest. It is time to sleep. You totally let go of what your day looks like and you go to bed feeling fulfilled. If you are feeling fulfilled on three levels: a heart level, a soul level and an ego level you feel satisfaction. It’s a trilogy of peaceful living. When you have flow equally in those arenas then every single day at the end of the day you go to bed feeling fulfilled.”
Sheryl says maybe that is why Spirit asked her to write a trilogy showing her spiritual awakening In the first book Life is No Coincidence The Life and Afterlife Connection as she discovered that the dream of her deceased grandfather telling her to write something for her father and on the next day my father passed encouraging me to write his eulogy, was not a dream at all but a spiritual visitation, awakening within me a remembrance of childhood when I at bedtime saw beautiful faces in the night and felt energy touching my skin. Now I knew clearly that souls that had passed survived physical death and were eternal. In the second book The Living Spirit: Answers for Healing and Infinite Love I explain my transformation and use of energy as a Reiki Master Teacher and medium receiving downloads from higher consciousness encouraging readers to learn more about the energetic aspects of their life. The third book A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening shows or proves our soul life potential for creation and how we are transcending these challenging times in order to live in a higher state of awareness love and compassion so we may fulfill our human and divine dreams and improve the collective consciousness through Spiritual energetic Universal Laws of the Universe.
When you receive inspiration that you know is from your heart or soul, know there is indeed a way for it to be made manifest. Know that the idea is sound then your soul can see a vision for your life that extends decades down the road. So, stay connected with what works next. Trust in the ideas themselves. Don’t let your ego edit any thought or sentence that your heart and soul have given to you. Write them down verbatim on the post -it note or on the pad of paper. And those refined ideas have now become action items for your ego to manifest.
The mind or ego compares choices with the past. The ego is motivated to make choices that are safe, because the outcome is known. But there’s no flow in making choices based on the past. Flow comes from following new information, this new information is the inspiration itself. Without inspiration there is no new information upon which to base your life. Flow by its very nature brings with it more information. When you get your ego to enjoy life and when your heart and soul are feeling fulfilled because your are completing the inspiration captured on the post-it notes, then you are genuinely taking on the role of being a king in your own kingdom.
We talk about the storyline of the collective consciousness as changing and why it is changing and where we are going as a collective with this change.
We are at the place of human consciousness now where we can recognize the potential of each individual that empowers them. We can recognize what could bring more choices to the masses. When we engage with the passion of our heart and soul, we will empower the immense potential of ourselves. At this present time there is so much potential present that it truly is an exciting time to be alive
In Les Jensen’s book he takes us through our own family dynamics. And how the family we are raised in has to do with our ability or inability to be powerful.
Sheryl might say that in a family that shares the idea that life is more than just the physical world and there is an energetic soul spiritual component to life, children are able to recognize they have choices beyond the rules and mores of society…they can call on help and guidance from a higher Self or connection to Universal energy and need not feel so alone or inadequate while trying to be perfect which is an impossibility.
In Sheryl’s book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening she wrote, “ Remember your childhood as I remember mine! The best hopes for happiness come from the best memories and happiness experienced in childhood and a trust in a timeless, universal plan.
When I was a child, each night I repeated this small prayer. No one taught it to me, but still I knew it.
It went like this: Lord keep us safe this night Secure from all our fears.
May angels guard us while we sleep
Till morning light appears Amen.
By John Leland
In a recent interview, Garnet Schulhauser, author of Dancing Forever with Spirit, expressed his feeling that every child begins at an early age, to know that all humans have a soul. He wrote, in regard to dealing with any bullying situation, “The best way to stop bullying begins at home. Parents should strive to avoid negative responses to events and demonstrate to their children that it is important to show love, compassion, and forgiveness to all other people. Children should be taught at an early age that all humans have souls and that all souls are connected to the Source and to one another. They should be encouraged to listen for messages from their guides and helpers in Spirit and not allow negative emotions or fear to rule the day.”
Les Jensen might like readers of Citizen King to take away with them that when you recognize you are a soul being and your essence is love, your personal power to thrive in acceptance and surrendering to the challenges of a physical life are possible and empowering. Les wrote, “You are a timeless soul experiencing what it means to be the species of human being on a planet called earth. You can look at other species and see a demeanor that is inherent within that species. For instance, you can understand the innocence of a bunny rabbit, the aggressiveness of a lion, and the gentle nature of a butterfly and also understand the nature of these human tendencies as well. To understand the nature of these human tendencies and how you are personally playing them out on your own, is to give yourself permission to be a genuine and authentic human being.
We thank Les Jensen author of Citizen King for sharing with listeners an approach to discovering ones innermost powerful Self or soul that is the creative force for all that is in our physical realm as well as how to use this power to create your own kingdom of magnificent miracles and dreams, ultimately not merely surviving a physical life, but triumphantly thriving in a glorious world of endless possibilities for using human potential to create “Heaven on Earth.”
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have come to remember our true being as souls having a physical life with the ability to remember the vision of life our eternal souls created long before we entered this physical life journey. By honoring that vision, and becoming a Citizen King of our own manifestations through our thoughts and actions, we can choose the best version of ourselves, and help life to evolve in a way where all people are valued and allowed to pursue their own specific life journey. Then it becomes possible to be able to give up judgment, to learn acceptance and greater compassion for even the most challenged and lost souls who are unable to embrace the path to living an exceptional life by using our personal inner soul power and to fulfill at the same time our human potential. When others have said to you that life is what you make it, there was great truth in that statement. For our thoughts and actions, draw similar energy and responses to what we put out to the world. In understanding our inner perceptions and refining our soul version of life, personally and collectively we thrive, enjoy, and produce feelings of joy, happiness and gratitude. There is no greater realization than discovering you love yourself and others, as they are, and continue on your path of eternal discoveries of life in all its versions.
Les and I would have you begin to hear the music of the universe which sounds a triumphant burst of love for you and all living things helping us to dream and live a life of wonderment, while allowing the flow, and encouraging the dream to grow even bigger. Show up at each moment and follow your heart.

Kute Blackson is one of the world’s leading young thought-leaders, and he is with us today for the third time. Kute was born in Ghana of a Ghanaian father and a Japanese mother, and he has been a public speaker since he was eight years old. So much of what he says is powerfully positive, although it seems counterintuitive at first, like the title of his second book, which is called The Magic of Surrender – Finding the Courage to Let Go. Kute received the 2019 Walden Award in the New Thought Wisdom category that the Unity Organization awards once a year to recognize socially conscious leaders who are making the world a better place. Oprah Winfrey has received that award. And our guest today has received it as well. Kute Blackson is an inspirational speaker who teaches authentic leadership and empowerment. He says that his mission is a simple one. He wants to awaken and inspire people all across the planet to access their inner freedom, live authentically, and fulfill their true life’s purpose.
Join Doc Holliday this week for a great conversation with author and brilliant mind, Guy Mitchell. Together they discuss why the fuss about global climate change and the carbon dioxide factor can be rebutted with truth. Guy has a website that shows great statistics and diagrams that will better explain why most of our nation’s politicians are getting wrong information. Our future depends on the truth and listening to this week’s show is a must. Click on now to hear why carbon dioxide is not the villian that this administration claims it is.
As our young nation grew in size, population and technology after the Civil War, the issues between the states began to over burden the committees of Congress. The development of the telegraph and the railroads raised questions of where to solve disputes between the
states. Finally the Supreme Court urged Congress to create a federal agency to manage problems between the farmers and the railroads over the transportation of grain across state lines. The Interstate Commerce Commission was the first federal bureaucracy with judicial, executive and legislative powers to function within the boundaries of it enabling
legislation established by an act of Congress and signed into law by the President. The development of the modern administrative state, i.e. the swamp, followed the same statutory format leaving little control over these fire and forget agencies. In effect the pattern which created the permanent fourth branch of government operates with little oversight. When the cats away, the mice will play.

Three years ago, I met my business coach, and one of the first things we addressed was starting an email list.
Before COVID, I had done everything live, so I had no email list, nurturing email sequences, lead magnets, digital programs, and so on. I had yet to learn what a lead magnet or email sequence even meant.
Today, I see and know the value of sharing QUALITY content with my peeps and giving them a chance to get to know me before they ever think about buying from me. I have to earn that trust, and emailing is a great platform to achieve that trust.

As soon as I saw this quote, I knew it was the right one for today’s show.
Recently I have had several conversations with family, friends, and colleagues about as each year passes, I am seeing how much I do not know or realize how much information is out there and how important it is to remain relevant. The only way to stay relevant is to be continually learning. It never ends!
This is stimulating and exciting, for me because I am a lifelong learner with an inquisitive nature. I am always interested in understanding how things work and why people think the way they do. Humans are fascinating creatures!

The Praying Mantis is a woman who likes to dominate and control men. Most women would stop at that, but some want to see how far their domination could take them. Could that include murder perhaps? Certain cases that have appeared in the press would suggest that murder is definitely an option for the Praying Mantis. The book tells how Anne-Marie became a praying mantis and why. And what caused her downfall. There is another story running as a subplot involving a vicious criminal committing crimes that are unrelated to the praying mantis. The detectives, from a short staffed police force, have to investigate both cases side by side . There is also a hint of romance between the male inspector and the female sergeant.How do you know if a friend is genuine or just trying to manipulate you for their own advantage?

Welcome to Healing From Within with host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from spirit that show us our modern day challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a deep disconnect from our inner soul wisdom. We are delighted to welcome Dr. Megan Rose, author of Spirit Marriage, to share a unique view of interactions between those in a body and those in spirit who find love and connection from different levels of life.
As listeners of Healing From Within have discovered over the years, Sheryl and her intuitive insightful guests share intimate stories and insights into the duality of life our energetic soul life force and physical life as we learn that life is indeed a journey of healing learning and love and we have opportunities to self-investigate and self-master our emotions guided by intuition and cooperation of higher Universal Source or those in Spirit who mentor and help us follow our destiny and life plan.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Megan Rose who has a doctorate in East West psychology is an initiated ceremonial magician, a Shakta Tantric Practitioner and a senior seer in the House of Brigh Faery Seership Institute and serves as an Interfaith minister and psycho-spiritual counselor shares an in-depth exploration of the practice, relevance and purpose of spirit marriage.
When Rose is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to them or others the life path and interests she might pursue in adulthood for it seems to me that we are born with a soul physical world and to raise to a higher awareness and vibration on love Megan begins to remember:
Megan writes, “My inquiry into spirit marriage is inextricably connected to the unfolding and evolutionary stages of my devotional life: growing up a spirit filled Pentecostal, communicating and praying with and to trees, being in The Present dissatisfied with a sexless Christian God and his disembodied practices, attending seminary and feeling a profound yet confusing call to public ministry, longing for a tradition that held reverence for and primacy of women and the Divine Feminine, and finally—seeking a path that embraces both light and dark as co-equal and indivisible.
My choices in life have almost invariably been guided by what Orion Foxwood refers to as “sacred longing and divine discontent.” As a child, I often felt the presence and fullness of the Holy Spirit as a palpable sensation in my body. Even though I did not understand exactly how, I knew it was a different sensation from the ones I felt when I prayed to Jesus or his Father God. This Holiest of Spirits often felt most alive to me in and through nature. Later I would come to understand that the experiences I had been having were the indwelling contact of the Goddess, the Divine Feminine, but as a child I simply knew that this contact awakened me in a vital and primal way and left me feeling ablaze.:
The term highly sensitive I define as having a highly attuned intero and extero-ception of stimuli. Experiences like ESP or visionary states are beginning to be understood as the extreme reaches of a spectrum of highly attuned sensitivities ranging from having heightened capacity with one’s five physical sense organs, to empathic or precognitive perception, to full-blown mystico-psychic encounters. Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) on any range of the spectrum can cause subtle shifts and cues in one’s environment to blare as strongly as a loudspeaker announcement, and often lead the HSP to interpret and interact with the world around them in a manner that buffers them from the onslaught of external inputs. These two psycho-spiritual aspects of my personality bear a tremendous amount of weight and influence on my story.
Sheryl says that as a sensitive to energy and as an empath medium and healer there are many challenges to feeling the impact of words and the energies held in places events and in daily communication with people and perhaps 20 percent of the population who are highly sensitive have challenges in learning to utilize these gifts helping themselves and others.
In her book The Living Spirit Answers for Healing and Infinite Love Sheryl writes, “In The Living Spirit I share simple but powerful exercises that I personally use to shed negative energy, resistance, and mental clutter. These exercises and insights can help us to protect ourselves from “energy vampires,” people who may try, knowingly or unknowingly, to rob us of our state of joy and well-being. Learning to act proactively rather than reactively may teach us how to respond when family and close friends are not supportive. Perhaps more importantly, I also share incredible stories from my own spiritual journey that will illustrate these points and hopefully illuminate the path for others. The timing for this book could not be better. For years, the metaphysical community has predicted a tremendous shift in human consciousness, and it is happening now. More than ever, people are feeling the need to rediscover their life’s purpose, and the economic downturn in recent years has given many the freedom, opportunity, and necessity to change their lives and work. Energy healing—including Reiki, Healing Touch, Reflexology, Chiropractic Adjustments, Acupuncture, Massage and BodyWork, Rolfing, Polarity, Trager, Chromotherapy, Radionics, Alexander, Bioenergetics, Feldenkrais, Deep Tissue Work, Osteopathic Manipulation, and other modalities—has become one of the fastest growing fields of complementary health care, and it is part of my mission to help healers develop their God-given gifts. I have written The Living Spirit not just for healers, but for anyone who wants to awaken to their soul’s mission and to the incredible plan God has for them. It is intended as a compassionate and supportive guide for others beginning their spiritual journey as mediums, psychics, and energy healers or simply for those with questions about who they are, what life is all about, and whether there is indeed life after death. “
Megan tells us what Spirit Marriage is and how it is different from other psychic phenomena such as channeling or mediumship. Megan is one of those rare treasures and her book reflects sound research, deep understanding, and the type of clarity that will make it a classic for the researcher and practitioner alike. To these qualities, Megan offers a broad survey of types of spirit-beings encountered, traditional and contemporary approaches to the topic, and a view into the benefits and challenges of these companionships. Additionally, she offers us a rare glimpse into the lived experience of her research subjects as well as herself, and into subtleties that can only be known by experience. There is an old saying, “See and you will know, but do and you will understand—therein lies the difference between knowledge and wisdom.” This is wisdom in your hands.
Spirit marriage is a form of embodied spirituality and a transpersonal phenomenon. To put it as clearly as I can, it is the bonded or intimate relationship between a human and a subtle or discarnate entity such as a deity, spirit, or extraordinary intelligence. In this practice, the consciousness of the practitioner is linked or wedded to a specific entity, and the two beings share a co-creative consciousness forthwith. This practice has appeared in many cultures, among a strikingly large number of religious traditions ranging from African indigenous spirituality to Tantric yoga to Christian mysticism. The practice of union with a spirit can manifest in many different forms—channeling, possession, sexual encounters, visitations, and the like. However, for the purposes of her book, Megan has limited her definition of spirit marriage to practitioners who have gone through a ritual or ceremony of union, designed to align them with a particular spirit in a committed and dedicated fashion much like a marriage on earth between two living souls.
Megan has been in a spirit marriage for well over twenty years. In those years she has gleaned transformative wisdom from traditional folkloric material and revealed information that came through from her spirit companion as well as personal revelation. In fact, there was so much powerful material that she created a seven-year Faery Seership apprenticeship program that fosters these kinds of relationships for hundreds of people worldwide. Their lives have been deeply enriched by the material, and the spirit contacts that have been nurtured during the training have led my apprentices to become co creative agents of change—especially as it relates to ecology and ancestral healing. Her own life with an ancient nonphysical being led me to push off from all that was familiar, and journey into ancient and often uncharted landscapes of the soul of humanity, Earth, and the cosmos.
Her spirit marriage has expanded her positive impact on the world in ways she could never have imagined. Layers upon layers of wisdom have been gleaned from this profound symbiosis. Her spirit-wife, Brigh, and Megan have tested each other as her nature had to recalibrate her nature to ensure that we could co-create together in a healthy way Whether it is the “fire in the head” (a sudden flash of illumination) of the Celtic tradition, or an inner-heating force that reveals the spiritual light of vision and inspiration, or a spiritual force or a spiritual being that is mediated or indwelled by a human host, profound wisdom and healing is often found in the spirit or invisible realm.
In ancient Rome, when a person had an uncommonly high intellect, its source was thought to be a particularly potent guiding spirit known as a genius. Thus, to this day we refer to a brilliant person as a genius. We all have these helpful spirits but most of us never allow ourselves to be open to them. And when they do come through, too often they are called demons—a word derived from the Greek word daemon, which originally denoted a divine being, not an infernal one.
In this book many types of informing spirits are discussed. They include human ancestral, faery, divine, and more. Each spirit marriage has its own nuances, challenges, and benefits, and each has changed its human counterpart forever. In the spirit marriage accounts related herein, Megan feels that spirit and human partnerships have always been important to the spiritual and intellectual development of humanity. The farseeing eyes of the ancient, immortal, divine, unseen, human ancestral, and other beings are crucial if we are to see outside of our limits and beyond time.
The bottom line is that humans are moving rapidly into an era of expanded and fluid states of consciousness, and we must perceive the invisible relationships between visible things if we are to grow with our own destiny. We are human-becoming; we are not finished growing in our understanding of healing, the intimate workings of our planet, the causes and cures for maladies likely induced by human technology, and actions that impact nature in ways we cannot see. If we are to thrive and if we are to save our Earth from a forthcoming extinction event, then we must perceive beyond the perspectives that challenge the life of our species and our world. The eyes that are invisible see what is invisible to our eye, whereas the ear that extends beyond the audible may hear a silent tongue of wisdom. Our ancestors held in highest esteem those who heard beyond the range of sound, who were guided by ancient forces, who knew the very beginning of life, and whose reach was into the unfolding future—for they knew the unknowable. Perhaps the time to know beyond knowing, sense beyond feeling, and dance in balance to a tune of helpful harmony is now.
Sheryl says as an intuitive empath and medium who connects to Universal source and downloads information to add herself family and clients she is aware that we are in the midst of a spiritual revolution helping through these challenging changing events of war pandemic political divide economic problems climate change being given an opportunity to transcend the physical issues and rise to a higher vibration of energy understanding feeling and acceptance surrendering to the immediate event as we go beyond it to create more tenable solutions.
Sheryl wrote in her newest book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening the following, “ Many years ago, after a series of mystical experiences that I could not explain with my logical mind, I found myself experiencing feelings within that related to a life that was more than my physical experience. As I began to quiet my mind, I began to know my inner thoughts in a way that went beyond the five senses and the way I was accustomed to experiencing the physical world. I became aware that I was able to use an intuitive sense that had nothing to do with my mind, years of education, or life experiences. It was a sense of knowingness and awareness of history, our humanity, and the past in a way that went beyond normal explanation. In dreams and in my interactions with numerous people that I later dis[1]covered were Spiritual guides brought into my conscious reality for the important purpose of realizing my life plan and my inner soul being, a new awareness emerged, enabling me to constantly review past beliefs seen purely from a physical indoctrination of this time, place, and present life experience into another way. I am incredibly more able to accept new ways of knowing myself and those who walk this journey with me and to discern the true meaning of life.
Spirit Marriage is different from channeling or possession in that it is a constant and continuous connection to enhance the personal and spiritual development of both souls who have committed themselves to each other to support love and assist in all areas of soul growth.
The practice of spirit marriage has allegedly been with us since the dawn of civilization. Through folklore and mythology, we hear of its ancient roots. We first start to see textual records of the practice in the ancient Mesopotamian sacred marriage, where it is reportedly undertaken to aid humans in the development and expansion of consciousness, both spiritual and every day. It is said to result in the development of extrasensory perception (ESP), esoteric revelation, and personal and societal transformation. Quite lofty outcomes! With that in mind, in Megan’s book we explore the possibility of spirit marriage as a viable means of personal and planetary evolution, and to investigate why it has seemingly been marginalized and obfuscated throughout history.
Personally, Megan believes that spirit marriage has the potential to be a kind of liberation spirituality. At crucial moments in history it seems that it has offered spiritual empowerment, co-creative engagement, and conscious evolution to its practitioners.
We are all surrounded and guided by entities beyond the physical human range and communicate with them in different ways. Some meditate and connect as Sheryl does to garnish guidance and information from these souls to help us merge our spiritual gifts and human life so using clairvoyant clairaudient clairsentient see hear feel smell taste and simply know through intuitive thoughts what Spirit wants us to know can lift up our awareness to a higher consciousness and serve to overcome human challenges. That is the difference between one highly sensitive person or channeler and another who chooses a Spirit Marriage for their spiritual growth.
Megan tells us why marrying a spirit has benefits. Megan postulates that the use of spirit marriage was and is a theurgic undertaking used by humans as a tool for personal transformation and evolution of consciousness—an assertion rooted in prehistorical hints of the phenomenon of Gods and Goddesses mating with humans.
And what is the purpose of this kind of bonded intimate relationship or what is the outcome of this kind of undertaking? (Co-creation, evolution of the species) perhaps. To better place this research within a psycho-spiritual context, let’s look at two key figures who have contributed to the realm of transpersonal philosophy and psychology and who also claimed an ongoing relationship with tutelary spirits or extraordinary guides. Although these relationships do not qualify as a spirit marriage as previously defined, these sources do report on the kinds of relationships that may be cultivated between humans and Otherworldly entities. They include well-known scholarly figures who have ascribed their ideas and inspirations to a relationship with a spirit guide or inner teacher. The Past First, the Austrian philosopher, social reformer, and esotericist Rudolph Steiner attributed much of his spiritual knowledge and practical philosophy to guidance by a group of nonphysical beings he called “the Masters.” In a Berlin lecture on July 14, 1904, Steiner reports, “The Masters can be regarded by us as Ideal. They have attained what we must attain in the future. We can therefore question them about our future development.” Steiner claimed that his knowledge of plants, the cosmos, and human nature all came to him through his conversations with the Masters. His lectures from 1904 to 1909 often had references to his calling on them to be present and thanking them for participating. And he specifically stated that in some instances that the Masters used his body to deliver a lecture. The Anthroposophical Society, founded by Steiner, later removed many of these references from the literature on him to distance him from the fake psychics and dubious channelers of the time.
Sheryl says it is too bad that it was necessary for most people to know the real deal and those who are truly messengers of Spirit as he and so many are and were in the past.
Much of this connection to Spirit and guides has been hidden in plain sight but we are just hearing about this now. Yet to be explored is the question of exactly why the mating of humans and angels was considered taboo. It is an open question as to whether the original act was a direct violation of God’s commandment or simply something frowned upon due to the aftermath of problems it created. According to paranormal investigator Andrew Collins, whose work centers on questioning the origin myths of Christianity, the early church fathers cultivated a climate of fear around the dangers of “seducing angels”—for the primary purpose of keeping women veiled and silent. Many of the early church leaders from the first to the third centuries used and openly quoted from the Enoch texts and generally accepted that the fallen angels possessed corporeal bodies. It was not until the fourth century that these assumptions were questioned, and subsequently the book of Enoch and many teachings on angelology were suppressed.
Accounts of Christian mystics and monastics from the Middle Ages still hint at the continuing presence of these fallen angels. It is also surmised that spirit lover practices may have been hidden in plain sight within Christianity. Specifically, St. Teresa of Avila’s autobiography is a primary testament to the ongoing practice of spirit marriage—or at least human-entity eroticism.
In her autobiography St. Teresa describes one encounter as follows:
I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron’s point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it. The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God The Past of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying.
We share our planet with many other species and beings—both seen and unseen—from the bacteria that live as some of the smallest units of measurable life to the celestial forces and powers that shape our solar system. These “invisibles”—although most often unseen, unheard, and untouched—have long been held by many spiritual traditions as integral to human development. Indeed, on occasion they are believed to make themselves known and available to the worthy individual. The wisdom traditions of our planet have long held the practice of spirit marriage to be a powerful means for the cultivation of extraordinary powers, acceleration of evolutionary development, and progression of humanity. These practices are esoteric and often shrouded by mystery cults and shamanic initiations. The calling to a spirit marriage comes in many ways and affects each individual differently. As such, the procedure and journey vary from person to person. Whereas one person may self-medicate to shut out this extraordinary experience, another may be compelled to seek this union from an early age. Each person’s path to spirit marriage is unique. I believe it’s important to openly share our stories of extraordinary intimate spiritual contact so that we may frankly discuss what appears to be a thriving practice amongst a not insignificant portion of the population. To that end, in this section I’ve chosen to highlight the individual experiences of those who have participated in a spirit marriage, rather than just giving you an overview of the practices. I call this form of extraordinary, experiential storytelling normalizing the paranormal
Megan tell us something of after the marriage, when Brigh began to reveal the purpose of their union As she put it, Brigh used the platform of my humanity to teach me about humanity.” She inspired him to ask specific questions about the human experience, which led me to finally ask, “Brigh, there’s a wound in humanity and it’s delivering it to the ecology, delivering it to each other. She sensed it was something beyond our avoiding extinction, or even restoring our relationship with the life of this planet.
That is when Brigh revealed “the dampers on the blue flame of the soul.” Brigh said the number one damper, the number one wound in the human experience, is the illusion of isolation. This wound shows up primarily as abandonment pain, and abandonment pain expresses itself as fear, resentment, or shame. All the other dampers, she revealed, are products of this primary one. It became clear to Megan that humanity has a great need for reconnective remembering practices that were part of the original instructions of our species but have been lost or forgotten. Orion believes that all the medicine and indigenous wisdom practices, as well as the sacred teachings of the ancient world, hold these original instructions. Many of these practices have been destroyed due to persecution and suppression, and must be reclaimed, resurfaced, or repurposed for modern people.
The thing that drives people to spiritual traditions and religious practices is homesickness. It’s all homesickness. People want to feel connected to the family of life. When they’re willing to detox the fear . . . get rid of the illusion of isolation that breeds such things, like believing we’re exiled from the oneness of life, which we’re not. People want to feel home again, and they’re driven by this homesickness. Drug abuse, the overuse of alcohol, sex, you name it, is all connected to trying to feel alive, home. In order for me to teach this and to teach restorative and integrative practices, Brigh had me figuring out with her a way to help awaken those senses in the students that would come [to study with us].
Sheryl agrees that it was her search for HOME that led her to delve into metaphysical and alternative healing methods as well as meditation and developing her mediumship abilities so she could understand Spirit, Spirit Communication, the Afterlife. and Universal Energy to know that we are never alone and connected to the energies of our beginning from our Home to physical life and always connected to the Divine and every other living entity “All The Time.”
One of the most important points emphasized repeatedly in our conversations is how healing and regenerative a spirit marriage can be. She emphasizes how our fear of sexuality and intimacy often leads to disease in our bodies, minds, and spirits, and how opening to the spirits can help us heal this. One of her key motivators for agreeing to be interviewed was her desire to set the record straight on this front: The spirits don’t make us sick. We make ourselves sick with our own fear and repression, by rejecting the gifts they have for us.
Entheosis (Awakening the Divine Within) relates to Spirit Marriage. Entheosis is an ideology to inspire the rising generation to reach the heights of their potential, ignite their curiosity to venture into challenging new learning experiences, and empower them to be leaders through service who are committed to family and community.
Dr. Megan Rose might like readers to take away with them after reading Spirit Marriage a better understanding of Magic. She writes, “Finally, I offer a note on the term magic. In renowned parapsychologist Dean Radin’s groundbreaking work Real Magic: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science and a Guide to the Secret Power of the Universe, he explores the intersection of science and magic, stating: “Real magic falls into three categories: mental influence of the physical world, perception of events distant in space or time, and interactions with nonphysical entities . . . [Magic can be reframed as the academic study of the full capacities of consciousness in light of the rising interest in informational descriptions of reality.”
She follows his definition and writes, “I define magic as a consciousness-based technology—that utilizes the emotions, thoughts, and vital/erotic energy of the human body in collaboration with the vibration, magnetism, and regenerative qualities of Earth and her morphogenetic field—to affect change. These two physical systems, human body and nature body, are not limited to the surface world. My training as a Faery Seer has taught me that we also collect and circulate the energy of the cosmos and the under- world throughout both our human and natural systems. However, for the purposes of this definition, magic is the end result of all three levels—upper, middle, and lower—working together through demonstrable manifestation’,
We thank Megan Rose, author of Spirit Marriage for sharing an in-depth exploration of the practice relevance and purpose of Spirit Marriage around the world and exploring the phenomenon of the spirit spouse or spirit lover—an entity to which a human is psychically bonded as she shares her interviews with ten contemporary practitioners of spirit marriage.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Dr. Megan Rose has shown us that Spirit Marriages like marriages between any two people or entities of human or divine nature offer opportunities to evolve know ourselves our world and universe going beyond the physical five senses to develop psychic and feelings that guide us to know we are more than physical beings but spiritual souls having a physical life for the CHANCE to remember the eternal nature of all living sentient beings and to grow more loving in energy light love and compassion.
In the stories of spirit marriages of ten people Megan references Suzette and writes “Suzette suggested that being married to a spirit is not all that different from being married to a human. You are in a relationship with someone. You are married to a person, a consciousness, except they are not in a physical body. You cultivate a relationship with your spirit spouse just like you would a relationship with a physical spouse. You talk to them every day, not just once a week on a “special” day. You carry out a daily ongoing dialogue in which you share your hopes, dreams, fears, and concerns. Megan shared with Suzette her belief that we season ourselves with the relationships we develop in life, and spirit relationships are no different. We bring things to them; they bring things to us. We become more of who we truly are by being in relationship with someone else, and we are given greater access to the realms of spirit and expanded consciousness by seasoning ourselves with spirit marriage.”
Dr. Meghan Rose and Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher would have you know that each of us are presented with people and experiences that come to us in the course of a physical lifetime which are neither random or meaningless. We have the free will to choose and explore those situations as a platform to expand and evolve into a higher sense of our divine soul presence. Relationships are the prime reason for a physical life. Wherever you find love healing and higher awareness of yourself know that relationship is meaningful, Relationships with our spiritual friends, guides, angels, higher vibrational beings, and Source or creation are ALL wonderful opportunities to simply FEEL and know life in its fullness. Let yourself be open to these possibilities.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Jill Rowley
“Before LinkedIn and other social networks, in the sales world, ABC stood for Always Be Closing. Now, ABC means Always Be Connecting because your connections lead to your next hire, your next job, your next lead, and your next close.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/G4HxHfJK5cQCheck Out These Highlights:
When I was trained in financial sales 40 years ago, that motto of always be closing was said repeatedly. Glengarry Glen Ross, a movie from 1992, made this phrase mainstream and appeared that this was the correct way to approach sales conversations.
All I can say about that is, “YUK!”

I will be your guide in this practice activity. Did you know that we perform mindfulness practices with focus during everyday activities? Join me in a brief mindful eating review. I highlight how we naturally block out distracting thoughts in our daily lives. Also, I share a method I recently learned from Gina Biegel, MA LMFT, owner and consultant of the “Stress Teens Program.” This practice is called “Railroad Activity.” Before you begin the practice, I invite you to get into a comfortable position. You can lie down or sit down, whatever is comfortable for you. This is also an imagery practice. The goal is to increase focus on the breath as an anchor. Be aware of the movements of your body with your breath. Notice any changes in temperature as you breathe in your nose and out of your mouth. Let your breath be natural. Understand as you practice, distracting thoughts may come into your mind. Realize it is normal for distracting thoughts to come and go. Enjoy your practice.
The three hardest words to say are not “I love you” but “I am sorry”. There is a lot of baggage and misunderstanding when it comes to apologizing that many people can’t bring themselves to offer them. But a good apology can heal the rift in your marriage. Andrew Blackwood is a coach, speaker, and the author of The Art of a Genuine Apology: Bringing healing to your most significant relationships reveals what makes for a good apology and how you can master the skill.
If you struggle with apologizing, or your partner does, Lesli can help. Please share this relationship changing show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

In this extra, Going With the Flow is the theme. We can all use the ability to adapt a little easier to the things in our daily lives we can change, can’t change, and knowing the difference. Think of athletes who seem to have that one perfect game where they can’t make a mistake for some reason. They are in that flow where the insanities of daily life don’t affect them for a bit. As creative people, i.e. Witches, we talk about being on the leading edge of creation almost like riding a wave where ideas about how to live, practice, or just create seem to be all around us.

This book is a true story about a girl named Mary, the author of the book. She went to college to find two things in life, her career as a singer and to get married and have a family. While at college she met Jesus, got baptized, and God gave her miracles and dreams to guide her into His Perfect Plan of singing and living her life.
Every life is designed and planned by a living God. God is all Love, Truth, Light, and Goodness. He makes and provides for every child if that person will choose to surrender their life to Him. He gives everyone a measure of faith to believe in God with an added gift of choice. Each child can choose to follow the God of Truth or take over the control of their own life.
Before choosing to live by believing in God and Jesus as her savior the author was in chaos. She lived for the moments of fun which lasted in short bursts. Most moments without God were sad and lonely. Living for God has made her life more enjoyable, full of peace and purpose.
God loves all of us and gives us gifts, talents, and abilities to bless our lives. All people must make individual choices to live for God or against Him. The author’s hope is that by sharing the story of her life, she will influence and encourage you to choose your heavenly Father and follow the savior Christ to everlasting peace and joy.

The book is a fictional account based on actual patient interactions of activating intelligence within dementia patients. Residents within a dementia facility who have been diagnosed with dementia have a…WORKING INTELLECT. And it can be engaged and activated.
The existence of the intellect is well known but how it can be activated with people with dementia is the revelation. It’s all about the intellect part of the consciousness, separate to the mind, and training the intellect to think. This breakthrough is psychological not pharmaceutical.
The extent of the dementia residents’ ability to learn and engage through the intellect depends to a certain extent on the individual and how they’ve lived, how they think, their motivation, fitness, health, resilience, outlook and their support network.

This episode looks at money-laundering. It’s based on the book “The Shepherds Of Inequality: And The Futility Of Our Efforts To Stop Them” by Dawn Pretorius.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
What do you know about money laundering? I just read some startling statistics from an article at Zippia.com that said worldwide, there are between $800 billion and $2 trillion laundered annually. The United States makes up at least $300 billion of that figure and most of the cases go undetected.
Have you seen Ozark with Jason Bateman? It’s a great example of the evils of Money Laundering but Marty Byrd and his family are a work of fiction. Dawn Pretorius has seen it all first hand. She’s been working in the financial services industry for a long time and she’s seen a lot of legislation over the years and other efforts worldwide to stop it but nothing seems to work.
How bad is this problem? Here’s a stat for you. Money laundering schemes cost 2%-5% of the world’s total GDP — Gross domestic product just to be clear. It’s A LOT and she says if we really want to stop it we need to think differently because right now we are on the wrong path.
Dawn Pretorius – There are things that are legal. Things like company structures, shell companies which can be used legally, offshore tax havens, company structures which are very convoluted and you don’t know who the ultimate beneficial earners are; that kind of thing. We have legal structures that facilitate money-laundering and we have very good accountants and auditors and lawyers and advocates and all of these people who obviously apply their expertise to this. These are also complex subjects and of course only the wealthy people can afford to hide their money to do that kind of thing.
Very complicated indeed because like she said most of the tools used to launder money are legal and the people doing it are very smart and very good at what they do. So what can be done?
Dawn Pretorius – We Should Know this is what’s happening and we should be able to change laws and change things in order to be able to do that.
It starts by getting the word out. In an effort to let people know the seriousness of the problem and that it exists she has written a book called The Shepherds Of Inequality: And The Futility Of Our Efforts To Stop Them. In it she writes, “Money laundering is the world’s biggest industry because it encapsulates trade, commerce, finance, business, manufacturing, production, and politics and pervades the world’s economic efforts in all these areas. To fight it, a costly counter-industry has grown exponentially, but its efforts, relative to the value of money being laundered, are estimated to be less than 1 percent effective in terms of successful convictions and/or money retrieved.
Dawn Pretorius – If you look at the governments they all have a lot of powerful people in government and many governments around the world are very corrupt and it only exacerbates the problem unfortunately. South Africa would be a wonderful example of that.
Her job was to try and prevent money laundering from happening. That’s what Compliance Officers and Risk Managers do. She says anti-Money-Laundering is an industry unto itself.
Dawn Pretorius – The other industry is the one that’s trying to control it and we are actually losing the battle. I mean we do have some incredible wins where some drug dealers are finally captured etcetera but generally there’s huge amounts of fraud leading to money being sort of lost if you like.
Her book makes for some interesting reading because this is not an easy thing to write about. It’s a complicated web of corruption. Plus, once you discover a way money is being laundered it changes.
Dawn Pretorius – Some of the examples are very difficult to even summarize. It’s a lot of collusion, collaborations, it’s not just one person doing it. It’s a whole group that is busy on one aspect of it. One aspect of corruption.
She chose about sixty months of news from 2017-2022 from around fifty randomly chosen countries to highlight the way money has been laundered there and I’ll tell ya’ some of the things she found are pretty mind blowing. Money laundering goes hand in hand with drugs and trafficking but when you hear the word trafficking what do you think?
Dawn Pretorius – The interesting thing about trafficking, um you know trafficking is also money laundering eventually because they get the money through corruption but everything gets trafficked in including sand on beaches. Would you have known that? And human beings. Cyber crime criminals are becoming a big thing now where people are being trafficked so they have to work and cause cyber crime on the computers and if they don’t two what they’re told they get beaten up. It’s an extremely sad world when you look at that and of course I’m sure you experienced it to like scamming. People get scammed into all sorts of things. Silly things like, the post office has a parcel for you. Just pay so much and go and collect your parcel. I feel sorry for people in the future because it’s hard to see what’s real and what isn’t.
Sand is a more valuable resource than you might think and sand theft is a real threat to the environment. Dawn has seen a lot of things and her book is full of stories and information worth knowing. I applaud her and all the other people out there working to keep us safe. Especially when the whole thing can seem utterly hopeless sometimes.
Dawn Pretorius – Sadly big banks themselves are guilty not just of breaching maybe some of the rules for anti-money laundering but they actually have been guilty of money laundering itself. You’re not easily winning the game.
I’ve never been a big fan of banks and so when she said that I looked it up. According to an article from the Department of Justice dated December 13, 2022. “Danske Bank, a global financial institution headquartered in Denmark, pleaded guilty…and agreed to forfeit $2 billion to resolve the United States’ investigation into Danske Bank’s fraud on U.S. banks” and there are a lot more. Just Google Big Banks guilty of money laundering and you’ll get all kinds of cases.
Investigations into money laundering can take years but there are convictions happening. They are few and far between. Sadly, many cases don’t result in satisfactory convictions, some just fall off the radar, or politics get in the way so what can we do? You’ve heard me say this before. Question everything. Why was Amazon’s federal tax bill ZERO two years in a row? There are things in her book that will enrage you and entertain you and in the end there are things we can do but it starts by keeping our eyes open and asking questions.
Dawn Pretorius – When we are partners or corresponding banks we do what we call “Know your Client” on each other so I need to know who I’m dealing with that person they need to know who they’re dealing with on this side so we have to fill out a questionnaire and the questionnaire is long and it asked you all kinds of things….and it’s tied up with the law but why do they want to kn from Pakistan to South Africa for example why we are doing this. It’s just too tick a box. What will it do? So I was saying why do we have to fill in these when we simply just need to give them who we are regulated by, cause they are all regulated , whether they’re regulated by another reserve bank or a federal bank etcetera but when I did the research I found out guess who made up this questionnaire? It was made up by five of the biggest banks in the world that have been guilty of money laundering. So these are things, tick-a-box stuff that takes all our resources away from proper investigations and its a waste of time. that’s what I want to get rid of and looking at income tax and how to simply it etcetera
When you find a questionnaire that seems overly convoluted and pointless, ask, why is this so? You might get an enlightening answer. The book is called The Shepherds Of Inequality: And The Futility Of Our Efforts To Stop Them by Dawn Pretorius. It’s available now all your favorite places to shop for books and I think you’ll enjoy it. And that will do it for this edition of news gram from Webtalkradio.com.
Dawn Pretorius was recently featured on the Books on Air podcast hosted by Sloan Fremont at Webtalkradio.com

Everyone can use a hug and who better to learn this from than a child. The world can use as many hugs and love as we all can offer. When we are tired, upset, hurt, excited, overjoyed, etc. a hug is readily available. Who wouldn’t want a good hug!
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Do you need a hug? Of course you do. We all need a hug, a smile or maybe some kind words. I like to put on some music when I need a pick-me-up. Do you have a song that makes your heart sing? Maybe it’s just a sunny day, a Hummingbird or a bee on the flower.
Yes, today is going to be another positive, uplifting, feel good episode of Newsgram. Let’s begin with a story. One that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, by Johanna A Ferket
Johanna A Ferket – I was in the grocery store and there was an older gentleman and he couldn’t figure out what he wanted to take or what he was gonna eat for lunch and I said , “you look like you are really struggling here. These grocery stores are so big it’s just a nightmare to know what to buy” and he looks at me and the he goes, “well, My wife passed away and now I have to figure out my own food without her”, and I said well what was your favorite, or what was your wife favorite, and he said she liked Tuna and I said maybe today is Tuna day and then he went on to explain that he and his wife would go dancing all over North America. Can you Imagine? They were married sixty-three years. They’d been to every state and every province in North America. We gave one another a hug and he was crying but he was smiling when he left. He changed my life and I know I changed his.
I never used to stop and talk to strangers. Too busy, too self absorbed, too worried about getting caught up in their lives…all kinds of reasons but I do it all the time now. It’s fascinating. Most people are happy to talk for a few minutes — we’re not moving in together or anything — and being completely honest here I don’t hug strangers but a simple exchange of words, a smile, a little common courtesy is all it takes to change someone’s day and set it on the right path.
I know how that sounds but we are so isolated these days. Our habits can be so confining. I was angry when video games went to single player experiences because I saw this coming — that’s a tangent for another day but wasn’t it the Irish poet William Butler Yeats who said “A stranger is a friend you haven’t met yet”? Sometimes when you’re feeling down it might just be other people you are looking for. Johanna Ferket knows all about this and she wrote a children’s book called “Do You Need a Hug”.
Johanna A Ferket – This little girl sets out to make the world a better place. She wanders off and she meets and older man, and she meets a dog in a park and she gives the dog a hug and makes him feel good and she comes to a garden with a lady. When she gets to the garden she hugs a sunflower and there’s a bee on it and the bee looked at her kind of funny and the flower vibrated like it knew it was getting a hug, the bee looked surprised but seemed content and went on collecting pollen.
A lot of people are afraid of bees. Now, I don’t recommend actually hugging a flower with a bee on it but the truth is the bee is not going to bother you. They have a job to do and stinging you isn’t it.
Johanna A Ferket – When we give off good energy and when we are positive and live right that energy spreads all around where you are.
That’s really the bottom line here. You get what you give. The world is a challenging place right now. We need to do whatever we can to try and make it better. Give it a try I guarantee it’s going to make you feel good inside.
Johanna A Ferket – Just be kind. Reach out and be a good person.
Do You Need a Hug? by Johanna A Ferket, is all about spreading positive energy. To set aside whatever you’re feeling for the moment and see the good in the world.
It looks like a children’s book but I’ll bet your grandma would love it too.
Johanna A Ferket – It’s good for anyone you know and I imagine myself or a mother or a father reading the story to a child and then at the end they’re gonna give one another a hug and it will benefit both.
Do you need a hug? This podcast is the best I can do from here so consider yourself hugged. Now log get a copy of her book from Xlibris.com, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.com and give it to someone to brighten their day. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.
Johanna was recently featured on the Books on Air podcast with host Suzanne Harris.

The Author
Becky Hohnstein Is an American author from the state of Nebraska in the US. She has two great passions in life Pets and Photography both of which feature so prevalent in her book.
The Book
This book is all about Tuesday, a Cocker Bichon, Becky had in her life for fourteen and a half years, right from a puppy to her final days. The story of Tuesday’s life is depicted in Rhyme, backed up by stunning photos, all designed to reflect how a dog can bring so much joy and pleasure to a person.
Becky wrote this story as part of her healing process after Tuesday left her side. For Becky, Tuesday wasn’t simply a dog that was in her life as a dog, she was a life companion, a friend and together they created so many happy events that meant so much to both.
The book is aimed at Children, showing them that a dog isn’t just a dog, but a being that can bring so much fun, love and enjoyment into a person’s life, be they a child or an adult.
The photographs cleverly bring to life the story behind the simple but effective rhymes, and back up the book’s theme that pets enhance our lives, steal our hearts and leave an everlasting impression upon us when they leave.
Toddlers will be captured by the pictures and flow of the story that they will want “Tuesday’s Story” to be read to them repeatedly. Young readers will enjoy rhyme and the story of the love of a pet. This book can be relished by pet lovers of all ages. Anyone who has loved and lost a pet can relate to the story of a much-loved dog from being a pup to reaching a ripe old age.

Thank you, Becky for creating this wonderful book and let’s hope you write and compile many more.

Welcome to the inaugural Video production of ADHD Focus, available on YouTube at ADHD Focus Kristin Swanson 32323
And coming soon to Roku and Firestick! The audio podcast of course remains available on most podcast channels.
Do you know your ADHD-related strengths? So many of the resources for ADHDers talk about strategies to address weaknesses in our ADHD function, “impairments” to work on, how to get ahead of our deficits. But we have strengths too, ways that our brains work which neurotypicals do not have.
Are you often frozen in perfectionism and/or shame which lead to one of the forms of procrastination? (raises his hand…me)
Can you recognize instances when boundaries on “want to” get in the way of “have to” and “need to” tasks/activities?
My guest today is Kristin Swanson, coach and consultant, expert in helping her clients how to get their “someday when I…” projects done. As a breast cancer survivor, Kristin learned the importance of getting out of one’s own way and how to stop waiting until “someday” to make a unique impact. Realizing deeply that “you only live once,” she has gained perspective, tools and strategies to overcome the illusions which fear instills in us.
Kristin earned a BA degree in business, received Co-Active Coaches Institute training, and has two decades of business leadership, strategy & operations experience. Learn more at https://www.kristinswansonconsulting.com. Download Kristin’s free Make it Happen Planner here.

In Sandra Champlain’s 15th Seek Reality Interview, she and Roberta reminisce about their long history in afterlife education, how they met, how Sandra now works closely with George Noory’s Coast to Coast nightly radio program and she therefore does two podcasts, and how that has enabled her to catch up to Roberta’s ten-year podcast record, so earlier this year she and Roberta each issued their 500th podcast at about the same time. Roberta rang a cowbell in celebration, and she promised not to ring it again until they both hit another 500 podcasts!
With all that’s happening in the world right now, are you making time for intimacy? This may seem like a trick question but the amount of sex people are having has been diminishing in recent years. Some of this has to do with more people living alone, but high levels of stress and worry may be making it worse. Sheltering in place, working from home, making sure your children don’t fall behind in school, not being able to go out and socialize, you name it, your energy and attention are being tested like never before. But humans crave connection and touch—they are stress reducers. Intimacy coach and author of Living An Orgasmic Life: Heal Yourself and Awaken Your Pleasure Xanet Pailet invites you to get your groove back.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Margaret Mead
“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/i4DtBbOtwtACheck Out These Highlights:
My perception of what is happening in academia is unfortunate.
I have friends who have chosen to leave their teaching career earlier than they had ever thought. My friends who have children in school at all grade levels tell me how miserable their kids are, and they feel like they aren’t learning what is needed for a healthy, thriving future.
I see so many friends at their wit’s end and unsure of what to do.
Today my guest and I will speak about this current academic situation many are facing; she sees it as an opportunity to change education in a way that takes the “sit down, shut up, and do what you’re told” out and bring joy back into learning.
About Kristy Boyd Johnson:
Kristy is a 30-year veteran teacher with an extensive and varied teaching background. Besides teaching within the school system, she tutored kids with learning differences, advocated for them, and homeschooled individuals and groups.
As it has been for many teachers on the front lines, being part of the school system was an ordeal for Kristy. By witnessing the successes and failures, she envisioned a paradigm shift that would benefit the students, parents, and teachers everywhere.
Barefoot Learning Club is a unique and wonderful opportunity to change the course of educating our children in a way that teaches them how to learn rather than what to learn.

Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits which shares stories and messages from spirit to show us our challenges are not merely economic, political or societal but a disconnect from our inner being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Matthew Mc Kay a clinical psychologist and author of his newest book The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife as he shares the channeled journey of his son’s travel across time and space as he shows us what really happens as we transition from a physical life to a spiritual energetic experience.
As Listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect over the years my very intuitive and inspirational guests and I share intimate and illuminating views of life in both the physical and energetic aspects. As we explore the duality of our life force, we come to realize that Consciousness survives physical death and life is eternal as our soul incarnates into different times and places to continue to grow through experience, greater awareness of love, and compassion. Life beyond life, is as real as a physical life in the three- dimensional world, but can be more expansive.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Matthew McKay specifically describes the transition experience of his son Jordan who has channeled to his father the early stages of the afterlife he experienced as he passed from this life to Spirit and shows how death is a realm of imagination and thoughts and intentions creating a luminous landscape entirely of consciousness. This wisdom provides profound relief from the fear of death, as well as exercises to learn how to communicate in spirit. We will discover the unbreakable bond between the living and dead and the love that remains forever.
Matthew tells us in detail what Jordan experienced after collapsing on a doorstep while seeking help and when he first died and how Jordan eventually made contact with his father in dreams.
Matthew writes, “That when his son died he had no idea or belief that the dead could talk to us. At best, they seemed gone in another world, separated by loss and the deafening thunder of our grief. Perhaps even worse, their passing spoke a truth far more dire: that they ceased to exist and that these sweet ephemeral spirits lived only in memory. But then Jordan started speaking to me—at first only in dreams—but then through mediums through a process called induced after death communication and then through the gift of channeled writing he told me he was here with me and could teach me what he knows about the afterlife. Here was a window into the world of spirit, an invitation to listen at the curtain between worlds and a clear awareness that death is neither an end nor even a loss. It is merely the time when we finally remember who we are and where our home is.
About five years into our channeled exchanges, Jordan decided we should write a book. Within a few minutes he had outlined all the chapters and over time he dictated much of what became our first book, Seeking Jordan.
Jordan let his father know that at the moment of death we lose our senses, our nervous system and all that has anchored us to the world. We lose our families and goals in life. We find ourselves in a place where thought creates visions, where a mere idea projects images that can capture and overwhelm us. The physical world is gone, and for a time we may not be able to hear or recognize the spirits that have come to help us. The love we feel for our soul group and guides may be masked from us. In this confusion, souls struggle to get their bearings. Some don’t yet recognize that they are dead. Some are so attached to the people and things of their past that they cling to the physical plane. Some are filled with emotions—fear anger , grief, shame, greed that obscure the life of spirit. Some souls expect an afterlife that doesn’t exist, a picture of heaven painted from pulpits and religious training that actually prevents them from seeing what’s really there. Some souls expect nothing, an extinction of consciousness and can’t understand why they are still thinking and aware outside of their bodies.
Jordan goes on to tell us the time immediately after death is disorienting. This is because a soul who has newly crossed over is still an amnesiac. They don’t yet know what they know. How we communicate and navigate in spirit has been forgotten. How to focus our energy in spirit has temporarily been lost. For example, we see in all directions. We move by intentions rather than physically walking. We hear telepathically rather than listening to sound and words. We connect through the medium of love rather than touching or holding or conversing.
Death cannot be understood unless the purpose of life is also recognized. We are not here to be redeemed, proven worthy or to earn a high station in heaven. We are here, Jordan says, to love and to learn. Death merely facilitates moving from the physical dimensions into the world of spirit. Our life as a soul has the same goals—here and in the afterlife—to evolve and to grow.
Sheryl shares with Matthew that as a medium, practicing for the last 25 years, she always tells her clients the same thing: that we will continue to learn and love beyond this physical life, and live in Spirit similar to the way we create and manifest our life on earth by our thoughts and actions or intentions. It is like the Law of Attraction that what we focus our time and energy on manifests.
Sheryl goes on to share what happened to her sister Rodelle who passed from pancreatic cancer and was given morphine before her passing and though our father was calling her to come forward, she was confused because perhaps the medicine made her passing more difficult.
As a medium Sheryl did a reading hoping to connect to her energy months after she passed and shared it in her new book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided insights to Support Global Awakening. Here is what Sheryl wrote: “When I interviewed Annie, I had no idea that before long, my sister Rodelle would pass. As a medium, I received thoughtful, creative, validating messages for my clients. I assumed that was the way Spirit intended for me to use the gift of spiritual communication. However, I was told years ago that I could ask to speak to any soul energy, anywhere, alive or in spirit. I never tried to contact my own family members, as I felt that should they need to reach me, they would. Eight months after Rodelle’s passing, I decided to meditate and try to check in to see how she was relating to her new world. Unlike Billy, who reached out to his sister Annie, I reached out to mine in spirit. Usually when I do a reading, I simply write down whatever is presented to me. It seems the information is usually perfectly tailored to what my client needs at the moment. With Rodelle, however, I decided to ask her questions. When she was ill, I tried so hard to show her that she was in for an amazing journey into forever and beyond, which was something Rodelle was not able to believe in. I already knew that there is no death, for our true-life essence, or soul, survives physical death. Sadly, she did not.
I soon felt her energy around me and sensed she was surrounded in a blanket of green glory and quietness, but her heart still hurt. She had not wanted to depart, as her love of life was quite palpable and her fight to stay alive was most courageous. I was aware that she was being cared for by souls and spiritual teachers that attended to her and her soul energy in the process of refreshing itself after her long, challenging illness and the sorrow of many personal disappointments in her past life.
Healing of the soul is necessary before creating a new life in spirit filled with the effervescence and joy that many of us know or try to remember from our childhood of hope and possibility for love and friendship. My sister would fully heal with the help of the divine, as she was always one to try her best no matter what the challenge was. I asked her who was there to meet her. Immediately I began to feel a pressure, a tightening on my head, as perhaps the drugs she was given before passing confused her. She was frightened. Our dad was calling to her to move forward.
Rodelle soon saw the head of the Statue of Liberty immense in size; the face was very close to her face. The beams of light from the crown on the statue’s head enlarged, and many people moved forward to meet her: relatives, friends, and guides. Rodelle seemed to feel free, as the immigrants who had come to our shores looking for a new life must have felt, filled with the hope that they would be welcomed. Tears started to fill my eyes as I realized how joyful she was to find this new world and see so many souls she loved there to greet her.
Then I asked Rodelle if she was aware of how her daughters, granddaughter, and sisters were managing. She responded by showing pain, which I felt intensely in my left arm, and she expressed to me that relationships with several women in her life had been hard. Friends were easier for her to embrace than family members. It might be like that for all of us, since the family supplies the hardest challenges for resolving karmic cycles and some may not even be resolved in a single lifetime.
Quite suddenly, Rodelle’s spirit and energy dancing around me seemed to lift up, and she expressed that since there were many old thoughts still within her, opening the door to the exquisiteness of this new vision of light and energy was taking some time. I saw in my inner vision an astronaut floating in space trying to move freely and easily without gravity holding him back, but wearing the space suit was still a hold on life that had to be discarded for Rodelle to be truly free.
There were many more messages and the final message shared with me showed me conclusively that she had found a new soul family in spirit and was helping others, as it was the best way she had discovered to serve.
How beautiful, I thought, and knew that she was safe. For some time after this reading with Rodelle, I often loved to think of my sister as being surrounded and loved in the blanket of green glory and quietness, as it was soothing to me and helped me resolve the sorrow of her difficult illness and passing.
We return to Jordan as he goes on to tell us how he felt immediately after his passing,…”He felt cold and had a sense of shock. He saw his body on the ground. It occurred to me I was dead and that struck me with horror. Not so much for myself, but for everyone I loved and was connected to. The panic of disconnection for me, was intense. I thought of the route to the flat I shared with Elisa and found myself moving rapidly there. I simply went through the wall and watched her sleeping. It was a feeling not of tears, but a sense of time stretching out without each other a bleakness. Next I visited my friend Mauchi. When I thought of someone and pictured where they were, I could be there. In the first hours after my death I could only go to places I knew well. Now I can be with anyone I want, instantly, just by thinking of them. ”Sheryl says she tells her clients, “Anytime they think of a loved one in Spirit and say their name that soul is right by their side.”
Next Jordan tells us there was a jumble of stuff around him, remnants of his life that seemed real but they were just images made of energy. He was projecting. He felt a hand touching him urging him to slow down and received information telepathically. He could also feel love bathing him. Someone, maybe a guide, asked him to select one image that could stabilize the scene-some place beautiful or peaceful. Jordan was told he was in a Landing Place just outside the spirit world and would remain there until the residual distress from his death had calmed. He also heard the sound of love and with it a sense of belonging of being part of a great whole. He belonged not with the souls of his family but to a sense of all, of all that is.
When Jordan entered the Spirit World he sensed all around souls were huddled focusing inward He was able to meditate on the life he had just lived. It was a Life Review In my connection with my mother I learned about the unconquerable cycle of love and loss that marks our life on Earth. I felt the timelessness of love the moment between a mother and her son carried the light of all the love in the universe. I also realized the cruelty I had inflicted on my sister Bekah. I felt a deep need to know how my actions had affected her.
Matthew tells us that for many souls, death doesn’t begin a nonstop flight to the Spirit World. There are some potential layovers that may interrupt their journey back to Spirit. The first of these has to do with souls who get stuck on Earth. Many souls are afraid to leave the site of their death. As the body cools and is no longer animated by a soul within they continue to cling. The gentle pull toward spirit is lost for a time in a kind of soul panic: the release, the sudden freedom from the physical seems so strange that the spirit is flooded with an urge to get back inside. They are what people call ghosts. Frightened souls who continue clinging to their bodies, these souls are captured by the emotions of a past life and resist moving to the next place…
The Healing Place which is the next stop for many distressed souls. It is quiet and insulated from telepathic and psychic noise. It has the appearance of some kind of open- air hospital with countless souls lying motionless apparently sleeping. Healing guides ministers to them as the souls “live” whatever vivid stories they’ve created. For some souls these stories are experienced in mental or dream states. Some souls have more serious problems to work out and actually travel to dimensions designed for intensive learning. Once you are assigned to the healing place, you have very little control over events. You are spiritually unconscious. The flow of your stories, the strength of your leftover beliefs and assumptions, and the surges of raw emotion will gradually subside. The treatment process is titrated by guides; you are entirely in their hands. Sheryl realizes that the Healing Place was where her sister had communicated her status eight months after her physical death.
Souls arrive in the healing place for many reasons. These can include:
- Dying while in a coma and unaware of the transition.
- Dying in a psychotic state with a loose grasp of conventional reality and arriving in the spirit world influenced by brain-based hallucinations.
- Dying a sudden or violent death—in a state of terror or rage—and in some cases not yet knowing they’re discarnate.
- Having had a life strongly influenced by fear and fear avoidance. These souls often arrive terrified, with minds practiced at inventing catastrophic possibilities. Each catastrophic thought turns into a vivid experience that only terrifies them more. The harsh bardos described in the Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead derive from these fear-fueled stories. Fear avoidance is also a factor. These souls become frantic, trying to escape the images of their own making. This painful scenario—panicking, trying to get away, and panicking even more when there’s nowhere to go— continues until these stories and images are slowly turned around by guides.
- Having had a life strongly influenced by anger. Anger and violence are the opposite of love. Incarnate souls who’ve learned to respond to pain with anger are unprepared for the spirit world.
- 27 Violence is even more problematic. Violence inflicts wounds as much on the perpetrator as the victim. It creates pockets of inert or distorted energy in the perpetrating souls. A part of the soul literally goes dead and loses all responsiveness. These souls, as a result, suffer isolation and cannot hear love. They arrive deeply alone and require major energy transfusions (much like blood transfusions) before they can even begin to connect. Some of them remain in the healing wards for centuries.
- Having had a life influenced by greed. Because greed is the product of delusion—that we are all separate, unconnected by love—it leaves souls profoundly confused immediately after death. Their lives have been about having and taking rather than loving and sharing. As with anger, greed isolates; souls see themselves alone, fighting for limited resources. And like angry souls, they arrive largely deaf to love.
- Having had a life ending in despair. Souls who despair have missed the point of life. They think life is about achieving happiness and that pain indicates a blatant failure. But life isn’t about being happy. It’s about learning to love, no matter what level of pain or suffering we face. The pain is an essential part of the lesson, not a sign of failure. Despair is really the inability to express and act on love during periods of extended pain. When despairing souls—particularly those whose death was a suicide— arrive in the afterlife, they may be unattuned to love. While souls aren’t blamed or judged for their despair, it takes time to awaken.
- Having had a life marked by shame and self-hate. Shame occurs when a soul believes their life choices to be at odds with what is good and right. They feel judged, a failure in the eyes of others. Because they believe they are undeserving, they remain deaf to the sound of love permeating the afterlife.
The best preparation for this bardo, while still incarnate, is to work on the realization that your thoughts aren’t real, and use meditation to observe thoughts rather than get caught and consumed in them.
Souls who go to the healing place, while from outward appearances sleeping, can be elsewhere. Souls with intense, dominant emotional states may have some of their soul energy sent to dimensional realities (special bardos) designed for their recovery. There are dimensions, for example, where matter can appear and disappear by mere intention. The soul, while not occupying a physical body, doesn’t have to contend with the organ and biochemical systems of the bodies we have on Earth—and that body can’t be damaged, no matter what the soul does or conjures up. In these dimensions, the soul’s unprocessed emotions from Earth are turned into adversaries, love objects, events (storms, quakes, arrivals and departures), familiar environments, alien environments, and elaborate plots with spine-tingling crises and crescendos. The soul conjures most of this, but some elements are added or remodeled by guides to help resolve the jagged remnants of emotions from the soul’s last life.
Souls who’ve lived many lives have experienced the passage from a physical body to being in spirit hundreds of times. They more easily recognize that they have died, remember and allow the tug toward spirit, and may cross directly into the arms of guides and loved ones. They know the routine and what to expect. They are attuned to love. The hallucinations suffered by emotionally disturbed or less experienced souls are not their fate These more advanced souls have worked through many karmic lessons. Their lives—while often marked by pain and great challenges—were guided by a sense of mission and spiritual truth. They were not lost or alone. They saw through the amnesia and didn’t forget that Spirit lives with and in them. As a result, many make the direct flight to a soul group and quickly resume their work—often learning special skills—there are many careers in the spirit world—that they will utilize on Earth or after they’ve stopped incarnating. These souls may not pause for a full life review but will, in time, consult with guides about the life just lived.
When Jordan had finished his Life Review he tells us a guide led him to a passageway, a wide hallway, perhaps more like a tube of light. Hallways leading to city-size collections of soul families flashed by and if you think of each soul as a point of light, the spirit world is a vast array of such lights. And there are many more souls than have incarnated on earth. You might think of the Spirit World as a gigantic brain with each cell(soul) located in a particular place and performing a particular function.
Jordan was heading back to his region town and family. His soul group, “the farm” appears to live in an old Victorian house. This isn’t a physical house, but energy projected by agreement to resemble a house. We create the image that is comforting to us much the same way that souls who incarnate as water creatures might project a quiet lake or bay. We call our soul group “the farm” because we are working to learn methods for helping consciousness grow on a mass level. The laws of change are part of what we study. They were all waiting for me. Eleven of them and I make 12.
Reminds Sheryl of when she had her first Reiki healing initiation and there were 12 in the group.
The soul group is our family, our classroom, and our main source of strength and belonging. We learn together, reincarnate together, and nourish each other with love. The activities I’ve just described are part of daily life. We aren’t playing harps, sitting on clouds, or drinking grog in some Viking Valhalla. We aren’t living in mansions or walking in sandaled feet on the courtyards of temples. We are just a group of souls who learn and love together
Matthew writes, “Jordan shares with us what he learned in the spirit world. Souls have an individual lesson plan. Even souls in the same group, like “the farm,” have unique learning objectives. While guides may teach certain lessons collectively, much of the knowledge we acquire is through study of the Akashic Record (the history of every life, every event, every choice made during incarnations—(both as it happened and as it could have happened). Studying the Akashic Record—sometimes alone, sometimes with guides—is the primary way we review and learn from each incarnation. We examine with great attention every choice and each word spoken as if it were happening now, studying how it affected ourselves and others, feeling the impact of anger or of love. And then we open chapters in the Record that reveal what could have happened if we made different choices.
We also study the Akashic Record to learn the intricacies of cause and effect, watching years-long sequences of events all flowing from a single choice. A single moment. A father slapping a child and yelling, “You’re bad!” can launch a ripple effect that will churn through generations. But we don’t just study the effects of human action. We examine every instrument of change: how water erodes rocks in a stream, how freezing and unfreezing rain in the cracks of granite causes mountains to rupture, how the Big Bang pushes matter ever further into entropy, the silence of nothingness. We can look at cause and effect on every level so that eventually souls can recognize the underlying force driving every phenomenon, be it physics or human behavior. Related to the laws of cause and effect—and also studied in the Akashic Record—are the laws of change. These principles guide conscious interventions that allow souls to interrupt cause and effect and rechannel the course of human events. In the same way a dam can alter a river’s flow, laws of change, judiciously applied at a moment in time, can redirect history.”
Our lives in the spirit world are multifaceted—just as they are on Earth. What we do keeps changing, so we are never bored. To understand what it’s like in the afterlife, you have to realize how much souls love learning. That is our purpose, our mission. We were created for this one reason—to absorb knowledge and experience, and give it to all. We incarnate into a physical universe to learn from that; we love each other and learn from that love and connection; we develop expertise at our spiritual careers. Everything we do fills us with an ever increasing sense of truth. We never arrive at the truth. No one does, not even the all (collective consciousness). We keep moving toward truth—holding more and more of it—but never arriving. A “day” in the afterlife—every moment of it—is spent loving and learning. And remember, we can do multiple things at once, so much of what we do is simultaneous rather than sequential. For example, I can visit my loved ones who are still incarnate while at the same time deeply studying the Akashic Record. Or I can be listening to a guide give a lecture while being a tourist on another planet and learning from the life forms there.
So with this in mind, let me list some of the activities I’m involved in.
- Visiting much loved souls. While we can communicate telepathically across an infinite distance, it’s like talking on the phone
- Connecting to embodied souls. Communicating to loved ones who are still incarnate is a challenge. The vibrational levels, as noted before, are so different that direct communication is often impossible. Any time a soul on Earth thinks of me, it opens a channel, and if they are receptive, I can answer telepathically.
- Connecting to all. Part of my time is spent in a kind of meditative state, where I connect to collective consciousness. It’s like turning on a radio in which you hear the broadcast for every channel simultaneously. Knowledge fills me, as does this deeply peaceful sense of being part of the whole, of belonging through love.
- Reviewing lessons from past lives. Again, this is all done through study of the Akashic Record. Guides are often involved,
- Creating things. Most souls engage in some creative activities.
- Rituals. Our soul group doesn’t eat together like families do on Earth, but we do connect ritually. We take time, periodically, to do a form of singing that synchronizes our energy patterns for a while, and helps us feel closer. We do ritual merging—sometimes as a group to strengthen the emotion of belonging and sometimes in pairs, where we experience a deep intimacy and knowing of each other that feels energetically similar to sex.
- Lectures and seminars with advanced souls. Part of our training involves being exposed to the wisdom, skills, and experience of advanced souls
- Movies. These are special “videos” from the Akashic Record that form amazing travel logs. We can watch the Big Bang, we can see the formation and evolution of previous universes, we can watch documentaries of life forms who host incarnating souls on other planets, and we can peer down the timeline to future events. We also watch and learn from documentaries of souls who have led inspiring lives.
- Enjoying “the darkness.” We don’t sleep, but we can enjoy periods alone and draw a sort of cover over ourselves. We can have our own thoughts, our own memories, and our own hopes and plans in privacy—there’s no telepathic seepage of our thoughts to other souls.
- Skills training. As described earlier, there are many spiritual careers. After we’ve been incarnating for a while, and we’re not using all the time between lives to review and learn from our most recent incarnation, guides begin encouraging us to consider a career in the spirit world.
Sheryl asks Matthew to tell us what he conceives Love to be? Matthew writes, LOVE IS A PLACE, A LOCATION. It is where consciousness resides. It isn’t a feeling, or a state, or a form of experience. It is the place of all thought, all knowledge, all truth. It is the essence of beauty and what moves us to recognize beauty and know love in the presence of beauty. Love is joining; it is the act of seeing, knowing, and, for a time, becoming the beloved. Love is a place of pure belonging where we enter each other and, finally, the whole. Love is not a subject and object, nor is it a lover and a recipient of love. It is the place where they live together, having the same awareness, the same memory, the same truth. Love in the spirit world—that place of merging, knowing and belonging—lives as a shadow, a faint presence inside of us. That shadow is the source of our loneliness here on Earth.
Sheryl says she remembers once being wounded by a friend who didn’t back her up in a decision that affected many people and which Sheryl as a medium and healer knew to be correct, and Sheryl said to that soul. I thought you were home… According to the definition of Love Sheryl always wanted to be home to everyone and to be known as love by everyone.
We can make it easier to pass through the stages of death to enter the Spirit World. There are things you can do now to have a more direct flight after death. Layovers on Earth, in the healing place, or in the “strange dimensions” can be minimized by doing these six things:
- Prepare now to recognize when you are dead. While out-of -body and near-death experiences are not rare, most of the time when you’re outside of your body, you have crossed over. Pay attention to the events surrounding your out-of-body experience. Are lifesaving efforts continuing? Are people mourning? Are they wrapping or cleaning your body? Also note how long you have been out-of-body. If a lot has happened and significant time has gone by, your incarnation is likely over.
- Feel and accept the tug up to Spirit. If you are out-of-body, pay attention to the tug toward Spirit. It may show up as a desire to “let go,” it may come as a movement upward, or it may simply arrive as a graying out of the physical scene of your death while your conscious awareness continues. However it shows up, allow it. Encourage it. Accept and go with it.
- Trust that you will be guided and cared for. From the moment you leave your body, guides are closely attending to you. Expect them. Trust that they are with you, even if you can’t see them. Let them take you where you need to go. They love you; they have only your best interests at heart. Their sole job is to care for you.
- Listen for a voice or words in your mind. Your guides will very soon start communicating telepathically. In some cases, the guides communicate with a simple awareness, a sense of knowing. Put your full attention to hearing whatever they convey.
- Avoid forming mental images or pictures. This often leads to disturbing visions that plague souls just arriving in spirit. Instead, focus on your feelings of love for souls who’ve already crossed over. You’ll see them soon. Anticipate that and keep your attention on love. Feel it. Listen for it.
- As soon as you see guides or loved ones, attend fully to them. Listen to them. Feel the love flowing between you. Love is your passport. When you feel it, you won’t wait long before entering the spirit world.
Matthew Mc Kay and his son Jordan might like readers of The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife to take away with them after reading this very detailed view of the journey during the transition to spirit. Matthew Jordan and Sheryl might like readers to know that there is no death, only life after life and in spirit more PLEASURE FOR SOULS. Learning is only part of the experience in spirit. There’s actually more fun in the afterlife than on Earth. In the physical world, pleasure is experienced in the nervous and limbic systems. It peaks and then quickly decays as we desensitize to the experience. Our bodies can’t retain sensations of pleasure for very long because our arousal system is designed to return to baseline quickly. In the spirit world, enjoyment can be sustained indefinitely because it doesn’t depend on bodily reactions.
But on the other, we can hold deep, sustained enjoyment through experiences such as:
- visiting and connecting to soul friends
- intimate merging
- tourism—visiting other worlds, other times, and other stages in the development of consciousness
- meditating on the love of all
- creating—everything from music to energy sculptures to planets.
We thank Matthew McKay Ph. D author of The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife for showing us through the experiences of his son Jordan who passed at the age of twenty three his wondrous journey to the Spirit World and the loving connections to loved ones, higher vibrational beings, guides who have been with us here in life and again with us in the afterlife. he makes as we learn that all life is simply about experiences learning and loving and evolving to a higher level of compassion for all that is.
In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within’ we have interacted with our minds and our souls to the distinct need to understand death dying and life eternal, through the feelings and awareness of Jordan in spirit shared with his father Matthew who wrote a book where we have a true vision of the state of the soul, the reasons why souls choose a physical life, the beauty of living learning and loving and the journey back home which can be made more wondrous if we leave fear out of the process at the time we leave our physical bodies and begin again our life in Spirit.
Matthew wrote, “THE DEEPEST TRUTH of the universe is that love is eternal; our relationships to each other and the whole go on forever. Reuniting is a myth born of our physical lives. We are always together (even though on Earth we forget), always united in love, always and irrevocably connected to all of consciousness. So, reunion is merely a ceremony where incarnated soul energy returns to spirit, and our soul group and friends bang the drum to welcome us home. But in truth we never left them. Our collective love has always held us as if we were one breath. We feel so alone on this planet, and the love of incarnates is so tenuous and conditional that isolation seems normal. The emptiness of having our deepest selves unseen (hidden within a body and a personality) is the root of human sadness, and it is why the hope for union animates all our relationships—with both the living and the dead. We cannot know in this place that our aloneness is an illusion created for our own growth. As we approach death, the thought of reunion often seems more sweet. We have lost loved ones, and even in our most intimate relationships we may continue to feel a distance—as if we have always lived a little apart—beyond being held, beyond being known. And because merging in love is so difficult here, we yearn all the more for it as life reaches its end. Instinctively, if we listen to our soul’s truth, we can feel the imminent approach of our joining to all that we love. We can use this hunger for reunion to begin welcoming the transition. Souls we love who are now in spirit often appear to us in the days or hours before death, when possible, as part of the plan to ease our transition; they remind us that we are going home and there is nothing to fear. ……”
Matthew and I would have you know the more you accept and surrender to all experiences, without judging them good or bad, you will begin to be comfortable and in tune with the challenges of the physical world, and will come to have an easier transition back to Spirit when that time comes for you. The cycle of life is miraculous, whether in or out of a body.

Today’s Guest
http://www.mathewmckay.com
As seasons change, colors and temperatures shift into new dimensions that prompt us to adjust to different types of clothing to be comfortable. Please take a moment and notice the changes around you now. During this practice, I will review the mindfulness qualities discussed in the previous TAB podcast. As I guide you through the review, I’d like you to focus on mindful qualities of particular interest. What changes are you open to adjusting to improve your mindful qualities?
What action steps will you take to improve your mindful qualities right now?
In this session, I will guide you through two types of body scan practice. The first body scan practice is without background music. The following body scan practice will have background music. I would like to offer you flexibility in performing the body scan.
The concept of “journaling” goes far beyond writing in a book with blank pages. There are numerous ways to “record our experiences, ideas, and reflections.” The more of these ways we engage in – the more complete and gratifying our connection with the world around us and our understanding of self.
For the next few minutes, let’s explore some of these options. So far I have come up with 9. I am sure you can think of even more!
We are working on the Formulating and Executing a Sound Strategyleadership imperative in this section of the podcast series. We are walking through my Strategic Frameworkto help you do so. In the initial episode of this section we provided an overview of the model. In this episode we move to the identity dimension of the model and talk about Defining Purpose. What it is. Why it is important. And how to go about it.
The Crone & Sage are falling down some very interesting rabbit holes again with a discussion on the topic of Reciprocity and how interconnections create that what goes around comes around stuff. We continue talking about the various series within the Witchstones Oracle Deck giving some information on the fourth group of Concrete Stones, the Cross Quarter Times. Finally, this week’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint focuses on the idea of adding One Extra Thing to your Day/Life to make you feel more Witchy.
This week’s show is an interview with Michael Letts byDoc Holliday and Letts will tell you about his ideas of what can be done to fight back against the radical left’s ongoing coup to take over America. Is that too strong of a language to use? Victor Davis Hanson says that we are already in a revolution being staged by the radical left in our country. The frightening thing is most Americans don’t even know it. So listen to this week’s show and hear what Michael Letts says can be done to fight the leftists from accomplishing their revolution here in America. Click on now for an important show!
CHARACTERS:
Princess Lynn the protagonist
King Felix
Madame B – Princess Lynn’s teacher of magic
Jessie – Princess Lynn’s Lady-in-waiting and close friend
Lucy, a magical crow
This story takes place in a land of kingdoms where magic is both good and bad. One kingdom stands out from all of the others, Magique. It is the oldest and most mysterious of the five kingdoms.
Ages ago, the king of Magique, King Felix, fell in love with a powerful witch, but she didn’t return his affections and was in love with another. In his rage the King sent his army to get her but she fought back and perished in the battle. All that remained of her within the wreckage of the battle was a staff and a crying infant with violet eyes.
The soldiers took both the infant girl and the staff back to King Felix. Instead of a queen he was given a princess. He kept her a secret from the rest of the world and raised her as his own child, Princess Lynn. The child did not know the truth about her birth mother and the king kept from her that she had inherited strong magic and if she were to leave the castle, she would be hunted.
This is Princess Lynn’s story.

Like Crime Novels? Today we talk about Hyman Kazan, the protagonist in “A Scandal of the Particular” by Steve Hamilton.
Kazan has a struggling legal career and an unfulfilled, passionate girlfriend. But the situation is about to get worse, much worse, when the body of a young man from Scotland is found outside of a safe injection site in downtown Vancouver. The dark, rainy streets of the Lower Mainland are about to explode when it is discovered that this corpse and Kazan’s girlfriend shared the same lover, Judge Craig Donald Smith. As his world begins to crumble, Kazan finds himself with one last chance to find truth and happiness. Then he finds himself alone with his demons and a loaded handgun, in a struggle to find justice, ethics, and integrity. But does he have the courage?
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
The Crime genre has become extremely popular. It’s been said that half of Americans consume some sort of true crime content regularly — perhaps you are one of them. If so, today’s show will be of particular interest to you because you’re going to meet Steve Hamilton, a former prosecutor and criminologist.
Steve has been in the trenches so he brings an insiders perspective on the goings on in the criminal justice system.
Steve Hamilton – I was a prosecutor for over thirty years. I did everything from murder to mayhem and I wanted to write a book to sort of talk about, from a prosecutor’s point of view, what’s involved in a criminal case and also what’s behind a criminal case.
The book he mentioned is called A Scandal of the Particular and in it Steve likes to get into more than just the case at hand because every case involves people with lives of their own.
Steve Hamilton – The victims, the lawyers, their spouses, their relationships.
He says it’s like a trial within a trial and I think all of these added layers make this story a lot more interesting. Steve is not just a writer or a former prosecutor he is also very mindful of our social responsibility and that is reflected in the story as well.
Steve Hamilton – There’s never a victim that’s just one victim. Even the accused family is affected by the outcome of their actions. The accused is affected. The community is affected and it has a ripple effect. All of us have a role to play in the welfare of others. I honestly believe that.
I think that is so important. Our actions and the actions of others have a ripple effect. The Criminal and the victim are not the only lives affected by a crime. There is sooo much more going on. There’s also something else to keep in mind. In the real world of criminal justice when a case is solved there’s always another one to take its place.
Steve Hamilton – The criminal Justice System is best compared to a slaughterhouse. It’s like I love Lucy with the chocolates that keep coming. keep coming and keep coming and so often maybe Hollywood or maybe another book will portray a defense lawyer where they do one particular case but in a prosecutor’s case and in the criminal justice system it’s one case of many. They keep coming. They keep piling up.
You probably knew that, to be fair to your favorite crime show, many times they just focus on the case at hand and next week there’s a new one, but the fact that Steve gives that slaughterhouse mentality to his main character is one of the things that make this book different and there’s a lot more. Here’s the deal…our protagonist is Hyman Kazan.
Steve Hamilton – Kazan is a fellow who is a senior lawyer in Vancouver. He’s on the cutting floor, the slaughterhouse day after day, cases are coming in and he gets assigned a case of a young gay man who is killed. The police believe the person who was responsible for the murder was a judge. This gets him interested because now the criminal justice system is on trial. The judge is on trial but what makes matters worse is that his long time love partner or partner says to him oh by the way I’m in a relationship with the same judge.
So Kazan’s girlfriend admits to him that she is or was involved with the judge. Judge Craig Donald Smith really gets around. A scandal indeed….
Steve Hamilton – So now how to deal with that? You’re seeking justice in the criminal justice system and you’re also seeking justice for yourself. You’re dealing with jealousy. You’re dealing with revenge, you’re dealing with retribution on all of those issues on both levels. How do you navigate that; and that’s the question the protagonist says, how do I navigate this.
It’s an emotionally complicated scenario. Ultimately you have to rely on the words of the great American Playwright Arthur Miller who said “Maybe all one can do is to hope to end up with the right regrets.” Focus on the things that are within your control instead of the things you can’t…or the things that are trying to control you.
Steve Hamilton – When you think about the criminal justice system just think right now, if you were to pick up the phone and to phone your local police force right away the criminal justice wheels are starting to grind and your control over that is gone. Whether it’s a family court case or a criminal case you turn over your autonomy to a third party like a judge, like a police force, you lose control and you may have the same morality or the same way of looking at things or you may want the same, what you see as a just outcome, whether its the custody of your children or the resolution of a criminal matter but once you let that go that person that third party may not share your view, may not share your morally; then what? It started with a phone call.
Steve Hamilton’s new book A Scandal of the Particular is one more reminder to question everything because we are only human after all and while our system of justice is a good one it is flawed because we as humans are flawed.
Steve Hamilton – I hope it starts a dialogue. I hope it reveals the players and people question the players at the front of the room. If you ever go into a courtroom you just see the back of heads. Ever think of you just see the back of lawyers. You see the judge’s face but you don’t see them. What’s going on in their lives that will affect the outcome of the case that’s before you? Think of them differently. We think of them as perhaps robotic in terms of going through the facts of the law or whatever but it’s far from that. Think of the players, think of the effect of the case on them and think of what’s the next case. How does this all work together? I hope it gives a revealing look at the justice system other than what just sees from A to B it goes to C,D and the rest. I Hope anyway.
Thank you Steve Hamilton because we have to start somewhere. Supreme Court Judges, Court of appeals judges, and District court judges are all nominated by the President and confirmed by congress. Other Judges are elected in this country. How much do you know about the judicial system, the legal system and the judges on your ballot? It’s all information that is readily available.
So…
It’s another rainy day on the west coast of Canada. Attorney Hyman Kazan is already at his lowest point in life and the booze is flowing when the body of a young man is found in downtown Vancouver with a link to Kazan’s girlfriend’s new lover, Judge Smith. As Kazan starts looking into the Judge’s possible role in the murder some sinister secrets come to surface. Secrets that threaten to destroy whatever is left of Kazan’s life.
A Scandal of the Particular by Steve Hamilton. It’s about love, companionship, relationship upheaval, pain, regret, justice, mortality, and morality. It’s about how we drown ourselves in misery to avoid the pain of a heartbreak — his words not mine .

When Graeme joined Scouts aged twelve, who knew it would lead to a commitment beyond forty years? Today we delve into his book THE FLEUR-DE-LIS, Khaki Shorts, and me by Graeme C Legge
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
There’s no place like Home. Home is where the heart is. Wherever I lay my hat is home. You’ve heard these expressions before. Home means different things to different people but at its core home is where your childhood memories come from. Just the word can evoke feelings of safety and security. It might be why you are still there…or on the other hand, it might be why you couldn’t wait to get out of there.
Graeme Legge is a fan of local history and a big believer in preserving it whenever possible.
Graeme C Legge – Local information, local history is worth recording it is important so I did start collecting newspaper clippings about Emerald
Graeme’s home is in Australia. Emerald to be more precise. It’s in Queensland located in the Northeast section of the continent and if you want to know more about the goings on in Emerald Graeme is a great resource.
Graeme C Legge – I think people can appreciate where they live and the work of others and perhaps be inspired to say well I’ve benefited from the work of others I should make my contribution and keep the process going.
To that end, he has written a book based on his many years of community service. It’s called The Fleur-De-Lis, Khaki Shorts and Me, A Logbook of My Scouting Adventures.
Graeme C Legge – I’m actually quite pleased with the outcome. I think it is an interesting read and experiences shared.
To coincide with the 75th Anniversary of Scouting the current scout Group leader in Emerald invited past Emerald Scouts to write about their experiences. Graeme had so many experiences that he turned them into a book. One story was the inspiration for the book’s cover. It features a photo of Lord Robert Baden-Powell’s wife Lady Baden Powell. Lord Robert Baden-Powell was the founder of the World Scouting movement.
Graeme C Legge – His wife, Lady Baden Powell came through Emerald one Friday night after school. Now we knew that she was coming through so we assembled Cubs and Scouts and Guides and Brownies on the side of the road and hoping that the good Lady when she was passing might see this assembled group of young people and might perhaps have her car slow down and she’d wave and we’d wav vigorously and enthusiastically to her. She did better than that. She got the guide to stop the car. She stepped out of the car and came over to the assembled young people and leaders. She spoke for about fifteen minutes about what she had been doing and she was the world chief girl guide leader. and I thought it was lovely. How gracious to do that. It was very uplifting experience so hey there’s a connection between Emerald and the founder of scouting himself by way of his wife.
Graeme has certainly made a valuable contribution to his community through all of his service over the years. His book is excellently written and Illustrated but does it live up to core values of scouting — Duty to God, Duty to Others, and Duty to Self? Most definitely.
Graeme C Legge – On Sunday’s I went to church and Sunday school and I learned about God and I learned about the good Samaritan who helped other people. I went to school on Monday and we saluted the flag in those days and we stood at attention and said I love God and my country. I will honor the flag and serve the King or Queen and cheerfully obey my parents, teachers and the law. On Friday nights I went to Scouts and said, “I promise in my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and the Queen to help other people at all times and to obey the scout law. Those lessons, those outlooks that reinforcement I think was very positive and led me to conclude that we are helped by other people. We take advantage of what has gone on before us by way of buildings and constructions and works of art and outlooks on life and that we do well to contribute our part and not be selfish if we don’t but contribute our part and keep the momentum and so this idea of looking outwards to the community, helping others, serving other and perhaps enriching the locality and looking outwards and upwards to God to Spiritual outlook that is very wholesome and very health and very practical and very enjoyable as well.
Graeme Legge is a quality guy and a great community leader. I think you’ll enjoy reading about one of the early scouting trips they took to the UK.
Graeme C Legge – Part of that occasion involved having afternoon tea in a place called Sir James’s Palace in London, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. That was very lovely and special. On the way through Sir Jame’s palace the Rule paused in one room and he said, “Now you Victorian school boys will be especially interested in their painting”, it was an original painting of the opening of federal parliament in Australia it was done in 1901.
There’s more to that story so if we’ve piqued your interest feel free to download a copy of the book The Fleur-De-Lis, Khaki Shorts and Me. A Logbook of My Scouting Adventures by Graeme C Legge. His eminent achievements and exceptional service to Scouts Australia and elsewhere make this an outstanding read.
It’s available now from Apple Books, Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. There are also link in the shows description…and that will do it for another edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com
Graeme Legge was recently a guest on the Books on Air podcast with Suzanne Harris.

The best teachers are also the best learners. Today we look at the book “How to Hold a Glue Stick and Other Clues to Parenting” by Froukje Matthews who combined her Montessori teaching experience with the knowledge gained as a parent.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
How many homeschoolers are out there? The fall of 2020 saw a huge rise in parents choosing to homeschool and that shouldn’t come as a surprise. There was a global pandemic. Many school districts were closed but then something happened; Lots of parents chose to keep their kids at home.
Whether it was mask mandates, faith and family issues, lifestyle choices or just the fear for their child’s safety the reality is, homeschooling is on the rise and with my own kids choosing the parent in this way it has forced me to think about their point of view and weigh the options.
I keep stumbling over one fact. Being a parent does not make you a teacher just as I will never be a carpenter but does that mean we can’t be taught.
Froukje M. Matthews – Well the thing is when you become a parent, in hospital they show you how to breastfeed, how you need to sit up and who you have to hold your arms so you don’t get a sore back and a sore shoulder and by the time you are sent home it is usually within a matter of days if not the same day. You then are on our own. You might have read all sorts of books about how to look after a baby but doing it is another matter altogether.
That is Froukje M. Matthews author of the book How to Hold a Glue Stick and Other Clues to Parenting.
Parents who choose to homeschool have all kinds of resources at their disposal now and they don’t even have to do it full time, there is a hybrid approach available in some states. I found Froukje’s book to be a great resource because it is not only written by an experienced educator but one who embraces the principles of Maria Montessori.
In case you don’t know who that is, Maria Montessori was a highly acclaimed Italian physician and educator who developed an approach to education that was more like that of an engineer. It was about building on the way children learn naturally and the thing I like most about her approach is that it made kids want to learn, along with these other principles…
Froukje M. Matthews – Treat the child as if he is already the well worth human being that you want him to be. Number one. And the other one is that there isn’t the matter there is just the child so observing first and loving a child is not a prerequisite. I mean, it will come when you pay attention and observe and the more you know about your subject the more you come to appreciate it and suddenly you find you are loving it so much that it hurts.
I know that may sound strange to not be sure if you love your child or not, of course you do but parenting can be hard and it makes us doubt ourselves. This approach takes the emotion out of it and lets you focus on the task at hand. Tasks that sometimes seem extremely simple, like holding a glue stick — but in reality might be about a bigger problem, Communication. This is the story that was also the inspiration for her book’s title.
Froukje M. Matthews – That is the story of a mom who was sitting at the table with her barely two year old child and this child was holding a glue stick just like the little child on the cover, in a stabbing grip and she was pressing it very hard the glue was all curled around the edges and mom kept saying don’t press too hard, don’t press too hard and the child was trying very hard to understand what she was talking about and looking up every time she said that she was looking up at her mom and to me, that was the moment that I could step in because the mom looked to me and said “ah, she is just so pig headed, you know” and I said no, she is just trying to understand you that is why she stops and she looks but she doesn’t know what you mean. Those words have no meaning. What means press, what means hard and what means pressing too hard? Then I said to the mother just watch me and I held my hand out and I touched the child’s hand and I said, “this is a glue stick” and then I touched my hand and I said put the glue stick in my hand and the child did just that she put the glue stick in my hand and i held the glue stick, not in a stabbing grip but between my thumb and my other three fingers and I pressed it first really hard on the paper, the same as she did and I said, this is pressing hard and then i helps it very gently and I talked very softly to her and said “this is pressing gently” and then I gave it back to her and I said I’d like you to press it gently and she did exactly that and then i said to the mom if you offer something to your child in opposites and you show what you want the child to copy last, that is what she’ll remember and that is what she will copy and that is why it works.
Sometimes there is more going on than meets the eye. Froukje is a natural story-teller as you can probably tell so we’re going to get to more of her stories in a minute but first I wanted to share this tip with you. It’s so simple and so perfect..
Froukje M. Matthews – If you are right-handed and you want to show a little child or anyone for that matter what your hands are doing, have that person sit on your left-hand side so they have a clear view of your hand and what your fingers are doing and whatever you have in your hand.
If they are sitting across from you they are looking at the back of your hands. This approach takes all the guesswork out of the lesson. Let’s be honest, parenting is like a hands-on Personal Development Course. We need all the help we can get.
Froukje M. Matthews – When you are the husband you feel so responsible for your wife and your child that you can’t think of anything else and when you are the mother you feel so responsible for that little baby that you can’t think of anything else but you both have to work at making a living as well and so how do you do that. You have bills to pay and there is a house to clean and dishes to be done and laundry to be hung up and you know all those things and it is a lot, it is just a lot. Just because it’s been done for millions of years doesn’t mean that every new parent has been born with the book of directions already stamped into their head. No, you have to start from scratch every time.
Her book is laid out in chapters but they are not sequentially arranged so you pick and choose the stories at will. This particular story happens to be in the beginning.
Froukje M. Matthews – Chapter one. Paying attention. (Paying Attention story)
The examples and vignettes are true to life and based on nearly 30 years of observations and interactions with the very young.
Frokje says, parenting requires your conscious behavior. Stick to the here-and-now of the situation at hand when interacting with your child, rather than thinking “Why is this happening? What is this child doing to me?” It is easier said than done and it takes practice but it i s more than worth the effort.
Her book is called How to Hold a Glue Stick and Other Clues to Parenting by Froukje M. Matthews and it’s available from BalboaPress. You can find it online in all the usual places like Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com

Daisy
Daisy is a touching family saga that transcends a century starting in 1887 with the birth of Daisy to a single mother in London’s poverty ridden slums. With the stigma of being an illegitimate child, Daisy’s start in life was tough not only for her but for her mother. Despite the harsh reality of dockland life Daisy blossoms but not without uncompromising setbacks. Being a girl back then, life was very much restricted to what society expected, house chores and birthing children under appalling conditions.
The book is set in London UK, Alabama and Harlem in the US. Besides Daisy, it’s the story of several families from both sides of the Atlantic from different cultures, backgrounds, cleverly interwoven to tell a historical story of Black American Slavery, rich snobbery plantation owners, and the harsh life of both Harlem and London’s docklands slums. Yet against this backdrop of austerity and excess wealth, the essence of family, friendship and true love prevails, beautifully told through the eyes of some wonderful strong characters that bring the tales of what went on in those days and how people survived and lived through turbulent times.
The Second Daisy
This is the sequel book to Daisy. The first Daisy had a hard start in life. She was born in the slums of London in 1887, to an impoverished unmarried mother with all the stigma her status in life brought. A hundred years later, we meet her namesake, the second Daisy. In many ways life for this Daisy is a lot easier, but in many ways the two women are very similar in character, but this Daisy is a woman of colour. Again, the story shuttles back and forth between London, Alabama and Harlem in New York in the US, but we’re in the 1980’s. The characters from the first book still have a significant role to play but we’ve moved on to the next generation. This Daisy is the daughter of Jeremy who is the son of Samuel and Winifred who left Harlem in 1952 on the boat United States for a better life in London. Theo and Melissa whose families came from the rich plantation owners have also moved to London as have Matty and Ruth who lived with Theo and Melissa back then whose families finally gained their freedom from Black Slavery that was endemic in certain US States at the turn of the nineteen century. The story also brings into play the character Flo, the original Daisy’s daughter, her life as a dressmaker in Artillery Lane a house bought for her by Freddie, who insisted the title deeds be in her name only as collateral for the future. The loss of her first son was a devastating blow, like Masie losing her only daughter in the first book who took in Daisy, the only difference being Flo rebounded and thrived as opposed to Maise taking her own life. Towards the end of the book, we see a grand reunion organised by Melissa back in Harlem reuniting the new generation with the old generation they left behind so that Daisy and her generation get to see the old ones before time takes them. This new Daisy despite still facing racism and equality issues has a brighter future ahead of her, far better than the life Daisy in the first book had to endure and overcome.
The Ancestor Series
Valentine George (Book One in the series)
Valentine George was an ordinary man, born in extraordinary times. He experienced love, loss and joy, just as we all do, but his life was worth recording. In this novel we follow his story where it began, in the slums of London during Victorian times. Then, he takes us through world wars One and Two and leads us on to the path of the Swinging Sixties.
Lou and Eustace (Book Two in the series)
This tale begins in the late 1800’s and continues through to 1984.
The roaring twenties were in full swing. Now, all the young women and many of the older ones had shortened their skirts, chopped off their long hair, and thrown away their horrible constricting laced corsets. Marcel waves, short bobs, flapper dresses, and the Charleston, quickly became the order of the day.
The Abandoned Wives Handbook
The pain of abandonment is huge. The partner you loved and cherished for so many years has decided you are no longer required. Past your sell by date. Of no use to them anymore, so tossed out like a piece of garbage. Abandoned with barely a backward glance. To keep this a light-hearted read, each chapter is divided into two letters of the alphabet, rather like a dictionary of distress, something you can dip into at any time. I am not an expert, merely someone who has survived one of life’s great traumas and has come through it as a stronger more resilient person.

The Author
Jude Hayland is a British author born in London but now resides in Winchester a small city down towards the south coast of England. Winchester is known for its medieval Winchester Cathedral, with its 17th-century Morley Library, the Winchester Bible and a Norman crypt. The Great Hall of Winchester Castle houses the medieval round table linked to King Arthur. Jude also spends a considerable amount of time on the Mediterranean island of Crete where her family have a home. Learning modern Greek, is shall we say, proving challenging at best.
Having graduated in English Literature Jude began writing short stories for Women’s magazines at the same time as teaching at secondary schools in the 1980s-1990s. She was published extensively in the UK and internationally for many years. After graduating with an M.A. with Distinction in Creative Writing, Jude began to explore writing full length fiction stories and to date has published three novels which will feature in this podcast. A fourth book is close to being completed. With all that is going on in her life, Jude still finds time to teach English and Drama on a part-time bases, as well as taking creative writing courses and workshops for budding authors. Jude’s novels have been well received with book groups and those who like the genre fields of Literary/commerce crossover, families and relationships.

Miller Street SW22
A story of loss, love, guilt and ultimately hope and redemption.
This book is the third book Jude has written and was published in January 2021. The Book shadows the lives of five neighbours that live on Miller St in London SW22. Coincidentally all the neighbours moved into the street in the autumn of 2005 primarily for a new start in life. The main Characters are Catherine Wells, Sam and Lydia Cough, Violet Lawrence and Frances Chater. The daily lives of these unique and individual characters, all with their own inner strengths and faults is fascinating to watch as the various events unfold leading up to a centenary street party. As the deadline for the street party nears and the committee Frances cagouled them to form using her domineering personality takes hold; relationships between the five begin to immerge. What they discover about themselves and how the past has played a part for some of them in getting to where they are, and what inconceivable destinies await them in the future is truly breath-taking. For me this book has all the tension needed to keep the reader turning the pages. As expected from Jude Hayland it’s beautifully written with tenderness and thrills all built in.
The Legacy of Mr Jarvis
A book of intrigue, deception and deceit. Who was Freddie Jarvis? And what was the relationship between this man and Mary’s mother Ida.
This book is the second book Jude has written; it was published in October 2019. The storyline starts with, for Mary the main protagonist a sudden house move from London to the South Coast, in 1966, but why? Mary who’s twelve at the time, doesn’t question her parents Jack and Ida’s reason for this move. But, forty years later after her mother’s death Mary decides to confront her suspicions. For, throughout her entire life she was led to believe that she was an only child, or was she? What Mary uncovers leaves her profoundly affected, the deceit and deception is traumatising, half-sisters? Again, who was Freddie Jarvis and was she, Mary, part of his legacy.
Counting The Ways
Counting the Waves dissects the fears that cloud our lives from failure, loss, regret and transience. The story is set in both London and an idyllic Mediterranean island in the 1980’s at a time when the talk of money particularly in London was all the fashion. Grace Barnes doesn’t fit into that Yuppie society and is passionate about reading. Archie Copeland is of a similar mindset, so much so the two of them get married. Hester, Grace’s mother seeing that her daughter is about to get married reflects on her own dysfunctional marriage to Fergus who left thirty years ago to live a simple remote life on a Welch hillside. However, his appearance at Grace’s wedding opens old feelings. For a short spell, Fergus’ reincarnation appears to have an influence on Grace, but then her own relationship with Archie wains due to all kinds of issues. A holiday to the Mediterranean on the surface appears to be the answer for Grace and Archie. But his disappearance casts a whole different outlook to their marriage, what Grace uncovers about Archie as she tries to find him is not what she expected to find. Archie meanwhile is forced to confront years of self-delusion, which is hard for him, but his absence forces Grace, Hester and Fergus to face up to their own fractured relationships. This is a book with many twists and turns like any good book should be.

On this episode, we answer questions submitted by viewers on the topic of science fiction. We discuss what inspired our guest author to write in the genre, and what sets their sci-fi books apart from others. We also dive into the development of characters in a sci-fi setting, and how creating immersive worlds through attention to detail plays a crucial role in crafting believable and engaging stories.
Life Lessons on the Greenbelt.Meditation can take many forms. The Eternal and Nature are (in many ways) one and the same. So when I walk on the greenbelt, I find solice and an opportunity to meditate. As I walk, I might be listening to my meditation music or other inspirational material on my iPhone, or memorizing a text, or just breathing and opening my heart and mind to the Joy: These are all ways to strengthen that connection.
So come on a walk with me. See what you think. Perhaps this is something you could add to your “meditation repertoire.” Perhaps you already have.

Most people would not stay in a relationship where they feel physically unsafe. But if you don’t feel emotionally safe, that can be equally problematic to your marriage. Emotional safety is important for trust and intimacy. Without those, a good marriage is impossible.

https://youtu.be/Rg-g44mU_OcCheck Out These Highlights: I have always loved this quote. I believe it’s about learning, unlearning, and relearning to remain relevant in my personal and professional life.
When change is thrust upon us, we can learn and grow and choose to take charge of our life by moving forward in some way. Saying this is undoubtedly easier said than done because we are human, and navigating a changing landscape in life can be daunting.
Like me, I’m sure you have heard the phrase that the Universe has your back and conspires to give you the life you imagine.
So how exactly do we navigate change by learning to stand in our power and allowing the universe to do its job?

The Founding Fathers developed our unique form of government out of the fiery trials of war and hardships. Some paid the ultimate price for our liberties for objecting to the bondage under British might. But the stubborn faith and persistence of the patriots eventually carved out a revolutionary constitution to create the Republic of the United States of America. We are NOT a democracy as so many pundits claim today, but a representative republic as this episode will clarify from our original documents.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our inner being and soul wisdom. Today Sheryl welcomes David Richards, a decorated marine Corps officer and author of The Lighthouse Keeper: A Story of Mind Master whose main character Sam finds ways and transformational tools to manifest the life he truly wants and leaves behind the life he was currently living.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and insights into life as it really is exposing who we are and how this life enables us to remember much as we wade through the challenges of the physical world and find ways to create life as we wish it to be and not merely accept the mindset of others which may limit restrict or create fear and pain. We seek ways to understand life as both an energetic soul and physical being living in a duality that can be merged for best results.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within David Richards has written a fictional tale of a young man who knows how the life he’s currently living ends and it isn’t the life or the ending he wants. He makes a conscious choice to try his hand as a lighthouse keeper’s apprentice as the life of a lighthouse keeper promises responsibility and adventure as well as offering transformational tools which can be practiced in everyday life to improve himself and the conditions he is dealing with. We discover and share Sam’s journey as a lighthouse keeper’s apprentice finding adventures he could never have imagined and the changes that are possible when we engage life in a creative fashion.
David tells us why he decided to write a fictional tale of transformation and life changing situations Perhaps what David has written about Sam the main character in the story reflects the need of all of us to learn more about ourselves, follow our inner soul guidance and create the life we truly want to live or were born to live.
David writes, “His father was late getting back from town, but having sold all the eggs, called the day a success. Sam had spent the afternoon finishing his chores and then stayed outside, drawing trees and birds, and occasionally pulling out his ball-cup game. Now, as they ate, Sam wrestled with his thoughts. “Something on your mind?” his father asked in between bites of food. Sam pushed his fork around his plate, plowing indifferently through his mashed potatoes. Before he spoke, he felt the tremble in his throat rise. “I don’t want this.” “It’s what’s for supper.” Sam pushed his plate away from him. “No, not this. I want to leave. Leave here. Find my own way.” His father stopped eating and set his fork on the plate. “What about the farm? I need you here.” “But you don’t need me. You just need a body. You can find someone local to help out.” It was a truth, neither damning nor invigorating, but like a truth once spoken, it couldn’t be taken back.
“Sam’s father responded “I’m surprised it’s taken you this long.” His father said, without turning back to look at him. “I figured you’d have gotten sick of this place two seasons ago. Was surprised when you stayed on. Happy of course, but surprised.” Sam looked at his father, then looked away. He had been wanting to leave. Had played out the conversation in his head so many times, but always met resistance”
Sam unfortunately, he thought, had to hurt his father if he ever was to realize his own needs to explore life beyond the narrow confines of his father’s farm. He tells his father since there is not enough money for going to college, he wants to go work at the lighthouse near the ocean. He describes the lighthouse as…. “Black Eagle Lighthouse sat atop a small cropping of rock a few meters above sea level. It reached up from the ocean floor like a hand, the dark, jagged appendage of some earthly celestial, its fingers spread wide, the fingertips disappearing into the sea on the island’s eastern side. The waves made splintered assaults into the grooves between the fingers, crashing against the rocks in their ceaseless assault. On occasion, it reached more than half the lighthouse’s height. On the back of the hand sat Black Eagle Lighthouse. Slightly less than fifty meters high, it was painted in equal thirds of navy blue, white, and navy blue again before surrendering to the catwalk and lantern. A single door on the southern side supplied entrance to the lighthouse, which could be accessed by way of a small dock on the leeward side to the west. Once docked, one followed steps which had been dutifully carved out of the rock as they meandered their way up to the entryway.”
David describes his military life and the values and dreams of that experience that are reflected in the Lighthouse Keeper. He tells us that perhaps military life was something like being a lighthouse keeper. Plenty of time for silence, thinking and being alone…David writes, “He wanted to find it peaceful, but could only manage to find it depressing. This led him to think, How did someone find peace in this kind of life or perhaps in any life? David learned much from living and working with Armand the lightkeeper who was a mysterious man and in time he taught him a great deal about using your imagination and inner thoughts to create peace no matter what kind of life you were living. His entrance into a tavern was enough to quiet the crowd until he made his way to the bar and ordered his usual; a glass of water. He had discovered his name by accident. “Armand” was scribbled on a parcel he’d once delivered years ago. The first time he called him by his name, he seemed surprised at hearing it. He must lead a hollow, barren life, he thought. Alone, on purpose. By choice. Other captains had mused that lighthouse keepers were a tranquil lot, especially now that most lighthouses had moved away from oil lamps, which were labor intensive and called for multiple keepers per house. These speculations were issued side by side with stories of catches of fish too big to haul, mermaids, and other maritime tales.
David shares with us that the character of Sam could be any one of us moving through these treacherous and extraordinary times. In Sam’s memory of his mother we can all recognize qualities that sustain us and help us to grow more aware and trusting of life. Sam’s memory of the mother he loved before she died reminds us that there are people we meet in life who share the brilliance of their spirit and often that interaction helps us to discover the best within ourselves.
David wrote of Sam’s mother, “Her brilliant blue eyes shifted their gaze from his father to him. The spark in her eyes caught a different kind of fire. Her face softened gracefully, the way clouds soften sunlight. Her eyes grew bigger. He didn’t understand the look at the time, not in any comprehensible way he could articulate, but now saw it plainly. It was hope. Adoration. Joy. It was the look of love, the kind of look that is somehow reserved for mothers and their children. He was conscious of how close to the ground he was; he saw himself as a dragonfly, moving just above the blades of the tall, swaying grasses. He closed the distance between them as she pulled on a bunch of grapes. She extended her hand and he gingerly plucked one from its pedicle. She ran a hand through his hair and pulled him close to her. He felt all the warmth, safety, and tenderness of a mother’s embrace. Could smell her perfume. It was a sublime space of happiness.
David shares transformational tools found in the story and how they can be used and practiced in real life. Sam describes ways he learned to use his time while at the lighthouse, “Nor was he afraid of a little solitude. In school, he enjoyed time to himself. While the other boys tackled athletic pursuits, he wrote. He wrote poems, or stories of faraway, imagined lands with mystical creatures and people. Sometimes he wrote letters to different people in his life. One day, a note to his father. Next, a teacher. The day after that, a girl in class he liked. He never delivered the letters, but writing them made him feel better in some strange, unexplored way. He told himself it didn’t matter, and found an odd comfort in that. When he ran out of words, he turned to drawing pictures. These too he never shared with anyone, but they adorned the walls of his bedroom like errant pieces of wallpaper. Moreover, at the lighthouse, he wasn’t alone. True, the lighthouse keeper…Armand, he had introduced himself as…was there. He learned to express his innermost feelings and thoughts clearly and without judgement. This time at the lighthouse encouraged him to grow in confidence and becoming a friend to himself, so he was aware he was never alone. He learned time was not his enemy, but a chance for continued renewal of faith and trust in the universal plan, for him and for everyone.
Several valuable insights gleaned by David in order to write this story and become the man he is today, may be seen in the following story: The following story is how Sam learned to value “Focus” in completing all tasks and David wrote the following story of sweeping the steps at the lighthouse which was a daily chore.
David wrote, “Sam looked at him (Armand), confident that he had done a crisp, efficient job. Armand placed a crate on top of another. “Do you know how many stairs there are from top to bottom?” “Stairs? No.” It wasn’t something Sam had ever thought about. “Eighty?” “One hundred and forty-four. Do you know how long it took you to clean them this last time?” Sam shook his head. “Twenty-six minutes.” Sam took in a deep breath as his chest swelled. “I almost cut my time in half.” Armand adjusted his glasses at the end of his nose and frowned without looking up from his watch. “Yes. True. And yet if you were truly focused, it would take you even less time.” Sam looked at Armand, then walked to the room center and looked up. It was a dizzying view. He couldn’t believe there were less than one hundred fifty stairs; it felt like twice that many. And how much more time could he cut out of the whole affair? “If you’re focused, you should be able to clean the stairs completely in less than ten minutes.” “That’s ludicrous.” Sam said, a laugh escaping before he could stop it. Armand grabbed the broom and went to the bottom step. He swept from the outside in with five successive sweeps, counting aloud as he did. “One, two, three, four.” “Each step takes four seconds. If you want to do the math, you’re welcome to.” Armand held the broom out at arm’s length and let go. The broom balanced on its bristles before falling towards Sam, who caught it as Armand ascended the stairs.
Armand shares with Sam another insightful way to achieve your best in life and writes. “The questions we ask ourselves are the pathway to the kind of life we will have.” “Explain more,” Sam said, intrigued. Armand scratched his beard, reminding Sam of a dog feverishly scratching at fleas. Such an odd man. “If I wake up every morning with the thought, ‘What dread is life going to throw my way today’, my mind will come up with an answer. ‘Mind’ will respond with something like, ‘Today you’re going to have a terrible argument with your brother’ or ‘Today you’re going to step in a puddle and ruin your shoes’. In other words, ‘mind’ will look for things to make my day full of dread.” “That’s silly. No one asks themselves that question.” “Possibly true,” Armand said, finally leaving his beard alone, “But people talk negatively to themselves more so than the opposite. More than that, they worry about things beyond their control.”
Sheryl tells us one of the stories in the book that she likes from the book. Sheryl likes that David tells us about Sam having a waking vision or as mediums receive messages in dreams or even while awake from Spiritual guidance: prophetic visions, and David writes, “Something by the desk flashed again, and this time he was able to center his attention on the area of the flash, but could see no objects. It flashed again. Sam saw himself. He looked a little older than he presently was, and smiled in a childish, pained way at the fitful, patchwork beard his older self was trying to grow. There was a young woman with him, though her features weren’t clear to him. He was tripping over himself with excitement, walking in front of her, darting from side to side, hands gesturing wildly as he talked. Sam could make out none of the words his older self was speaking, but understood the scene readily enough. The young woman was hesitant, but attentive. She followed him with her eyes (what color were they?) he insisted to no avail, and frequently her gaze lingered long enough where she would catch herself. She would then gracefully look down on the path they walked. He thought her hair blond, but the vision was unclear. It fanned coolly off her shoulders, like curtains stirred by an evening breeze. She did her best to measure her smiles, so as not to convey enjoying his company too much. For his part, Sam sensed his older self in love. It wasn’t a love of hopeful anticipation, or short-lived fiery passion. It was a defining love. A love that would alter the flow of his life, become his life. And somewhere within him, he felt pride well up. Pride in seeing this version of himself recognize such a thing at an early age.”
David continues to share with us some ways we may find “stillness” in the chaos. David writes of the routines Armand who had been at the lighthouse for a considerable time told Sam, “There was the morning ritual Armand had of sitting cross-legged on the ground floor on a small mat. Just sitting. Perhaps meditating. Eyes closed. Sam thought him a fool. These odd events together were enough to re-think this entire venture. “I’m not mad.” Armand said as they passed the seventh floor. It was Sam’s turn to stop. Had he been talking out loud? They ate in silence—Armand at his usual pace, Sam anxiously swallowing his meal. When he finished, he broke the swollen silence between them. “What disease are you talking about?” The disease of distraction Armand set his plate down next to him. He ran his fingers through his beard, inspected what morsels had been caught there, Your thinking is distracted.
Distracted thinking makes it harder to accomplish things. Look at that ship.” He pointed to the north. Several miles away from them, a large schooner headed west, its sails gleaming in the sun and full of a steady wind. Armand continued. “Focus on that ship. By focus, I mean direct your attention to it. And rubbed his hands together. “
Focus on that ship. By focus, I mean direct your attention to it.” Sam looked at the ship. “Okay.” Now, assign it some meaning.” Armand grew animated. He stood, walking to the railing nearest the ship. “What do you mean?” “Imagine for example, it’s a ship in distress. That ‘meaning’ leads to possible actions, right? We might light the lamp, signal the coastal guard or, were they closer, row out to see how we might assist.” Sam set his plate down and joined Armand on the railing. “I guess so.” “Of course,” Armand continued. “Now, don’t focus on the ship.” “What?” “Ignore the ship for a moment. Ignore it, and all the meaning we just assigned to it.
“Focus. Meaning. Action.” Armand said matter-of-factly. “This is our first crucial decision cycle. If those are pirates, our actions would be very different than if it were a ship in distress. A person’s life…how they view their past, how they live in the present, and how they look to the future…all depend on the meaning they assign to each.”
David might want readers of The Lighthouse Keeper to take away with them after reading your book that they should remember what Armand told Sam….” Crazy or not, long after we finished the day’s tasks, Armand’s words stayed with Sam, and if I’m honest with myself, I wanted to hear more. We picked up on our catwalk conversation at dinner. He expanded on some of the things we had discussed earlier. I’m not sure it all makes sense, but I surprised myself by grabbing my journal, even before readying for bed, to write down all the recollections from the day.
- What we focus on—this is the most important decision we can make. We can put our energy towards things we can control, or lose it by focusing on the things we can’t control. We can direct our focus to the past, the present, or the future. ILL.
- What meaning do we assign to it—the meaning we give to the thing we focus on creates the feelings. Two people can look at the same thing and have completely different feelings. This is based on their experiences, their thought patterns, and their values and beliefs. The past, present, and future all have different meanings, depending on the meaning we assign to them. (Must ask Armand more about this…isn’t my past unchangeable?) The feelings that come from the meaning given lead to…
- What actions we take—based on the meaning we attach to what we focus on, we choose what to do.
- We develop patterns of thoughts—These patterns become habits. These habits become our beliefs. These beliefs become our lives. We cannot focus on two things at once…Armand said this. It seems so obvious, and yet I play with the idea over and over in my mind. He said, ‘there can only be one master’ and I’m quite certain I don’t know what he’s talking about. Further, he said the quality of the questions we ask ourselves leads us to the quality of our lives. If we ask questions about why life is unfair, our mind will come up with answers to reinforce that perspective. But if we ask what are the things that make life so enjoyable, the mind will answer that question in a similar fashion
Sheryl would like to thank David Richards for sharing a most courageous story both of himself and his main character Sam in The Lighthouse Keeper as like each of us, we move through life experiences with certain questions in mind…Who are we? Where do we come from? What is life really about? And if we are lucky, aware, and insightful, we find answers which help move us past the chaos to allow, accept, and surrender to all things, become more of who we have always been, our soul essence, and to mature, so we may move past fear and limitations to know love, compassion, and peace as our natural birthright.
In summarizing today’s episode, David Richards, author of The Lighthouse Keeper and Sheryl have discussed the fictional tale of a young man Sam who seeks to know who he is and how to find a path to a life of adventure, creativity and sensitivity, and to become the best version of himself. Sam has the courage to leave his father’s farm and go to be an apprentice in a lighthouse, where the lightkeeper teaches him a great deal about the mysteries and wonderment of life and how to focus, find meaning, and act on those references.
David shares a story of how Sam began to realize his dreams could materialize and how he didn’t have to listen to the negative attitudes of others, but needed the courage to pursue what interested him most.
Sam tells us “He poured himself a cup of water and drifted back to what he had seen yesterday beyond reef. The pages in the water and image of the woman. His family. His book. It excited him, awakened something inside that he had put to rest in recent years. He had set aside any dreams of writing when he left school. It simply hadn’t seemed like a realistic way of making a living, not when so many of his classmates were pursuing what he thought of as ‘real. And his father had deterred him. He remembered in particular a conversation he and his father had shared while extending the fence line of their property “Writing,” Sam had offered, fighting off the urge not to curse as the wire chewed into his dry fingers, “I like it. I like telling stories.” His father had chuckled. “What’s funny?” Sam asked, the wire digging deeper. He could see a blossom of blood open on his index finger. “The people who write are professional writers”, his father huffed, “they have a gift, and hone their craft”. Sam released the wire. He looked at his father. A wound opened somewhere inside him. Not unlike his cracked fingers, it too bled. It was something he couldn’t verbalize and nothing he could point to. But it was there, bleeding. And that had been that. The idea had been shelved!”
David and Sheryl would have you remember that the thoughts we focus on and intentions we set within our mind, as well as the dreams we seek to make real, are truly possible and must keep trying to make them materialize, for it will, if it is in your life plan and soul destiny. No set back will stop your goals from finally happening, in the right time and best way to support your soul journey and refine your spirit, often filling it with greater love and compassion for yourself and others. It is not in the doing, but in becoming and BEING, that we discover the truth about our eternal selves!

Today’s Guest
https://www.amazon.com
In this week’s episode, One Unforgettable Woman Making Her Impact, Gina speaks openlywith her guest Kerrianne Cartmer-Edwards about her journey from being asked to be ordinary to be extraordinary.
It is natural for a parent to want to protect their child; especially for a father to protect his daughter. Out of that great love he once asked the young Kerrianne to be “ordinary”. Hisdescription of ordinary was to “keep her feet on the ground and her head out of the clouds”.
Sure, that advice may work for most but not for Kerrianne. Listen in as she shares her very personal journey to unleashing her brilliance.
As many loving mothers and wives do, she gave a little more to others than to herself in her younger years. She shares a pivotal moment that allowed her to remove her mother cape and her wife cape and what unfolded as she was stretched in a new way.
That moment was life-changing because she accepted the opportunity to step out of her comfort zone and give herself “the permission to just be me”, as she says.
Accepting that one opportunity opened the doors for others and through those doors
Kerrianne boldly walked and danced.
Now, she is fully expressing herself outwardly and helping other entrepreneurs do the same.
Kerrianne and Gina discuss the benefits of keeping both your head in the clouds while your feet are still on the ground and how you too can play an (even) BIGGER role in making this world a bit more magical.

During my travels to Israel, an insightful 14-year-old teenager shared how to bring experiences of joy and happiness that our Land and Spirit tour group experienced in Israel and at the Western Wall. I got permission from Rabbi Levi and Naomi Bledsofsky to share their daughter’s, Rifka, suggestion. As Rifka shared her suggestion among a large group of Jewish women, I realized that her suggestion was an analogy that captured Mindfulness Qualities as compiled by Gina M. Biegel, MA, LMFT (Creator and Founder of Stressed Teens). In this session, I invite you to use mindful eyes and look at how we envision a wall. Walls are usually described as stone or brick structures to provide a barrier to separate or prevent an escape. In this episode, I share a mindfulness perspective about walls. In mindfulness, we use our five senses to bring awareness to how we get information from the environment and how we respond to our environment. Join me to find out how we can strategize to use mindful qualities to create intangible walls which build positive worlds. What we create may not be perfect. However, what we make will be gems of non-tangible treasure that can impact entities of positivity for generations to come.

I feel like with each passing year in business, my need to learn about automation, AI, and other platforms that get my message out there is never-ending. I also feel like my message goes into the abyss, and perhaps no one hears or sees my content.
It’s frustrating to put so much effort out for most of it to be lost in social media noise.
My guest and I will dig into how stories help you hack through the noise and hook the hearts of your audience.

This episode explores the untapped power of the mind. It focuses on the third book, Know Your Mind in the Learning Experience Trilogy by Peter Massam. Here we move on from growing pains in teenage years and confronting fears to exploring the extraordinary relationship between the mind and the body.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Your mind is a lot more powerful than you might imagine. It’s something I’m only beginning to understand and I don’t mind saying I’m not alone. Human potential is something that has been explored for years with smarter minds than my own and the answers only present with more questions.
This episode is a continuation of the last one. Part two of our look at Peter Massam’s Learning Experience Trilogy. Here’s Peter with a quick summary for you.
Peter Massam – Know your mind is the culmination of the trilogy. The previous two books have looked at both the joy and the sadness and the emotional situations you can find yourself in and how your mind is processing the real world because you have to eat with things in the real world. What Know your mInd does is take more experiences later on in life that persuade George that the mind is actually a much more powerful thing than we think it is or that we give it credit for. It’s not necessarily in fashion in vogue to bring out the more metaphysical side of our lives because we’ve all in society we’ve become more scientific. To get to the facts. I wanted this book to be more of a philosophical outlook to work with that scientific community to approve or disprove the experiences that George went on to tell and I made the third book, I made him tell it in his own words because I think it’s easier to understand what he experiences later on when written in the first person so you get inside his head literally.
I’m sure you’ve already surmised that this George he speaks of is the main character. You would be right. It’s been fun watching George do kid stuff, grow up and make adult decisions and now we find him using his mind to try and make sense of the world.
Peter Massam – We tend to believe that this mind is, yes we know it’s there. We make decisions every day but from the experiences that George encounters it adds up to a lot more in terms of capabilities.
Not to give too much away but the book begins with George at a team building event where he’s learning to put mind over matter by breaking a board martial arts style and he is learning a thing or two about reflexology.
Peter Massam – The wider picture really is how we as humans have evolved and where this possibly could have come from and what evidence there is that there have been evidence through the years which have culminated in this experience in a single individual but which is demonstrably shared by other capabilities shared by other people in the third book.
In his Trilogy of books, Nipper, Moose Conquering Fear and the final book Know your mind Peter Massam shows us a lifetime journey of learning experiences through the character of George. he takes us from childhood encounters through coming of age to conquering fears and they culminate in the third book which is our focus today with a new appreciation of the power of the mind in the realms of communication, pain relief and self-help healing and preservation. And yes one of the references to pain relief does involve a trip to the dentist. The concept of Telepathy comes from a trip to China.
Peter Massam – Certainly when he went out to China the first hint if you like of the possibilities of communicating with each other just through thinking or by using the mind was first revealed to him and sceptic as he is he would always try and prove it again to make sure this wasn’t some kind of coincidence or just her luck.
One of the most fascinating things about this book is that the things he’s talking about, the things George experiences are not science fiction. The story is fictional but the concepts are very real.
Peter Massam – It doesn’t matter what career path you’ve chosen or what kind of life you lead the capabilities are and have always been there it’s just they are extremely underused and undiscovered for a large part but in certain individuals when you start encountering those individuals and talking with them you realize that there are some fairly…they have a different perspective on life but they also have certain other sensory capabilities or ability to see things in a different way.
A great example of this comes in the book when George is retiring his leased car. He encounters a woman that could have diagnosed and possibly healed his dog — just another example of some of the strange and wonderful things we are capable of if we delve deeper into the power of our mind and heron lies today’s lesson. Keep an open mind. You don’ have to believe everything you hear. I thin a healthy dose of skepticism is a great thing but at the same time be open to learning new things because you never know…
Peter Massam – One of the problems we’re talking about some of the use things to do with the metaphysical and the mind is that people are reluctant to talk because they want to know that you are open to those kind of suggestions and as long as you have that openness then people will talk to you about their sensory perception.
Of course. No-one wants you to think they’re crazy just because they have abilities different from yours. The truth is we all have special abilities. We are capable of so much more than we are aware. It’s just that some people make use of those abilities — that’s another takeaway from this series. It’s all about helping you learn in the best way possible with interesting, relatable characters interacting in fun ordinary ways.
Peter Massam – I was put off reading early on by being given A Tale of Two Cities by my well meaning Grandma. And unfortunately I never got past page two. I think I was eight or so. It was completely the wrong book to give a child of that age so I made the beginning of the book Nipper accessible to younger teenagers so the 12, 13, 14’s they should feel they can pick it up and relate with what’s going on there and then as they progress through their teenage years they’ll see that the maturity of the language that’s used an how you can feel dissociated from both your parents and other people around you who suddenly become, for some reason they become very much older. You know, when your nineteen or so you see people of seventeen or eighteen coming out of school or university and they just seem so young because if they hadn’t had any working life at all you think their perspective, you left that behind so you have to wait for them to catch up kind of thing.
Find a way to be alone with your thoughts. Shut out the noise and see what you come up with. Meditating is hard for some people but it’s a start to finding out what you’re capable of. Like I said in the beginning. Your mind is a lot more powerful than you might imagine and if this trilogy of books will help spark your interest or enthusiasm then give it a go. Who knows, it might bring balance to your life and help you get in sync with this crazy world.
Peter Massam – I had the good fortune to travel to Melbourne in Australia a couple of times. If asked to name three things that made an impression on me there they would have to be the following. Firstly the Yada-Yada river that dominates the downtown central business district and provides the backdrop for nightly celebrations with jets of fire scorching the sky at sunset. The second would be the overriding feeling of contentment walking to work up the hill from the river. I wondered at first why this was such a pleasant experience but quickly discovered the sauce in the faces of those around me and in their relaxed gait. On sparsely populated pavements their smiles shown out reflected on the sparking office windows on another fine day their calm unhurried pace conveyed a state of being at one with their world; and then thirdly, further up that hill…a curiosity meets the eye. Cars
pulling off to the left at a crossroads in order to make a right turn known to me as a J turn, but by others perhaps as a hook turn. It was not so much the practicality of avoiding tan lines going down the center of the road that made an impact on me but the complementary nature of their approach to the junction that seemed to be in perfect harmony with the pedestrians walking alongside them. Just as pulling over out of the flow of bi-directional traffic lanes to make a J turn is deliberate. So stepping out of the mainstream is a conscious move. When considering the workings of the mind I feel we have to make a similar J turn. The physical world continues to hasten at variable and sometimes blistering speeds but stepping out of that zone and parking the stresses of our complex lives can allow our mind to fill the void, bring balance to our well being and connect better with each other.
A great way to wrap up the series. It definitely gives you something to think about. The third and final volume in the Learning Experience Trilogy is a tool, if you will, for coping with and making sense of our physical world.
He has put a lot of thought into these books making them very easy to understand depending on your age. All three of the books in the Learning Experience trilogy have now been published and if you want to learn more just google Peter Massam they are available now wherever you like to buy books and we’ve added links to this shows description and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Nipper and Moose Conquering Fear track a lifetime journey of learning experiences from childhood encounters through coming of age to conquering fear. This first volume, Nipper is for ages 9 and up. It teaches that understanding girls is difficult at the best of times. Navigating that sea without a map, as George found out, can be a teenage squall or a fulfilling voyage of discovery. In book two, Moose Conquering Fear we learn that transitioning life stages is never easy. Fear of failure in first job and first marriage lead to decisions, better and worse. George took them all.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
“It is curious how experience moulds our actions, reactions and expectations of what is to come.” Those are not only the first words in the description of what has become a trilogy of books for Peter Massam but they are the perfect beginning to this podcast because they explain perfectly why it exists in the first place. Not the podcast, the books. No, I’m not trying to confuse you. I just think that as you learn more about Peter Massam and how he thinks you’ll be better able to appreciate the wonderful books he’s written.
Peter Massam – One of my soapbox topics has been customer experience.
Haha, yes it is also one of mine. How many times have you been frustrated by a product and said to yourself, did no-one test this out.
Peter Massam – Ever since I picked up one of the first mobile phones and tried to use it and said to my colleagues how in earth do people put up with this because it was terrible performance you know, probably two calls survived out of ten and made it my life’s work to try and capture that experience and make it better for people.
It’s also one of my soapboxes and I’ll spare you the diatribe here but suffice it say we need more people who think like Peter. I’m old enough to have been there when the first mobile phones were rolled out. We still call them cell-phones. They were very cool to have but they didn’t work very well. A lot of dropped calls.
Peter Massam – That was the general theme of my career. Towards the end of it, as we got more into customer perception and the softer side of things I realized that the industry wasn’t ready for getting their arms around that.
The amount of dropped calls have come down significantly so thank you Peter. So what drives a former teacher turned businessman, frustrated with dropped calls, to pursue a trilogy about a young man growing up?
Peter Massam – That’s where these Trilogy came out of from one side was, how do you get inside the mind of your customer and then the second motivation for that was very much a personal one because we all…during my teaching career I came across a boy who committed suicide, with everything in front of him and my immediate reaction to that was whoa, that is such a waste of talent and that I’ve got to try and do something to help those people, especially young men who I think are a larger percentage who choose that route, to try and play their fears because life is full of fears, full of unknowns and if you have no tools to cope with them or your living in a deprived circumstance then you probably feel that there’s no resort except the last one.
Peter Massam is the author of three books, Nipper, Moose Conquering Fear and Know your Mind and as you can hear he is a very caring individual. It’s his empathy that I found most intriguing. His ability to see inside the mind of his customer.
Peter Massam – I would certainly like young adults, young boys, teenagers to read Nipper because that will prepare them for what may come down the line.
When it comes to growing up there is quite a bit that comes down the line and his book takes you into all of that but in a fun way. It starts out with a couple of kids squirting water bottles off a bridge at moving cars. It’s typical, slice of life boy stuff like riding bikes and fishing as well as the pain that comes when a friend moves away but it’s told in such an interesting way that you find yourself smiling throughout the chapters.
Nipper is the first book in the Trilogy and this is where you first get to meet George. growing up in a loving family but not a wealthy one and all the growing pains that go along with that including the love between a boy and his dog.
Peter Massam – Having been a teacher and seen boys develop, we all develop at different speeds. I was a late developer. You know the message there is it shouldn’t matter because your time will come. It doesn’t matter whether it comes at the end of the school days and for me, as I explained in the book, it came a bit too late but then you just push on from that into the rest of your career and for me it was sport and it can take off at any time and you should be ready for it when it does because you’ll enjoy it so much more.
Yes, most of us were not prepared for the arrival of puberty and all those strong emotions that you’ve never experienced before.
Peter Massam – When you are noticed for the first time by the opposite sex that is quite disconcerting because you know how to react to a friend, who is a male friend if they are joking around with you but when it comes to more serious feelings than you are unprepared.
Another part of life is the evolution that takes place in the workforce. Getting a first job and navigating the intricacies of the workplace.
Peter Massam – As your evolving your looking for common ground with other people and in your life there are definitely people who are too far removed from where you are, your situation because either in age orin experience or something else so you are always looking for that person to talk with some would call it a kindred spirit but i think that’s probably going too far it’s just somebody that empathizes with you enough to understand what your going through and you can talk openly with them and that’s what happens with George and Joan.
Nipper is a work of fiction so no spoilers here. You’ll learn all about Joan when you read the book but as you can see we’ve taken you through George’s life from a young boy to a young adult and to use one of Peter’s analogies — Navigating that sea without a map, as George found out, can be a teenage squall or a fulfilling voyage of discovery.
This brings us, in a very natural way to book number two, Moose Conquering Fear. Growing pains, now a thing of the past and we are moving on to being a grown up.
Peter Massam – Going from one situation to another and coping.
That is a great way to summarize adult life. It seems we are always doing just that. It’s one thing after another and if we have the right coping skills to take and deal with whatever life throws at us we usually manage to do just fine.
Peter Massam – It doesn’t pause or ponder over things for too long. That was deliberate. If I just tangentially mention the books, I was very conscious of making them briefer than a novel because I wanted young people to feel, and others to feel that they can pick the books up and read them maybe on a couple of train journeys. So they had to be engaging and not um, it was not meant to be an analysis it was meant to be, this can happen to you too and if it does then this is how one person dealt with it.
It’s all about learning that transitioning through different stages in life can be hard. You have to deal with being human, moving out of your boyhood home, getting a job and dealing with the fear of failure and getting married — which comes with its share of challenges.
Peter Massam – You can find that sometimes life throws everything at you and sometimes in the same day.
Every had one of those days? Yea we all have. In the second book in the series George is confronted with some adult decisions. He has to confront his fears, make some hard decisions and if you fail to learn from your mistakes as a grown up, you need to make the tough call.
Peter Massam – New parents in particular and new couples full of hope after their marriage probably and are looking for their first house. If you find yourself in an area as George did with very expensive properties all around and being a teacher, only being paid a teachers salary that was just not on the cards. So money was tight as it had been for George’s parents, as was recorded in Nipper and therefore you have to find your way around things and you look at all avenues to try and ease that burden.
So George took on the side-job of selling insurance. I tried this once and let me tell you, it’s not a side job.
Peter Massam – Well as it turns out it didn’t actually work out for him and sometimes things don’t. It’s really again how you try and cope with these challenges and in a practical way. I like to think that this book will be useful to people to give them the tools to be able to work through that situation and not be afraid to reach out to those that they might not see very often.
There are a lot of contacts on your phone and business cards on your desk. Just because you don’t talk to them all the time doesn’t mean they don’t want to hear from you. It’s just a call, don’t overthink it.
Life can be a real roller-coaster but in his series of books Peter tries to smooth out some of those bumps and remove some of the unknown to help alleviate fear.
They are written from a male perspective as the main character is George and while there is no right or wrong way, he points out that some calls are immensely hard to make…so having the right support can help you set aside doubt and take that leap of faith.
Ordinarily this is where I would remind you that these books are now available to purchase but that’s not going to happen today.
Peter Massam – I’m not here so that people buy the book. I’m not really, I would rather have all the libraries and they are, it’s on Gardeners List now and the wholesalers who the libraries rely on there are two other entities as well who have access to it so I’m working the libraries quite hard at the moment to, to get them into their hands so that people who cannot afford to buy a book, it’s a luxury, can still have access to it.
Amazing. Well, if you have the means to purchase the book there are links in the show’s description or…when was the last time you visited the library? Why not stop in and see if it’s on the shelf if not talk to the head librarian. Tell them Peter Massam sent you, author of the Learning Experience Trilogy including Nipper, Moose Conquering Fear and Know Your Mind which we will explore in the next edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Vivid and intense, Hamilton’s dark debut adeptly articulates the challenges and complexities of love and violence. Attorney Hyman Kazan is at his lowest point in life: with a struggling legal career and a failed relationship, Kazan is trying to find solace in alcohol. But when the body of a young man is found in downtown Vancouver, a link between the victim and Kazan’s girlfriend’s new lover, Judge Smith, soon comes to surface. As Kazan begins to look into Smith’s role in the murder, sinister secrets come to surface, threatening to destroy whatever is left of Kazan’s life.
The narrative shuffles between sudden viewpoint shifts and flashbacks in the past, and the story becomes deeply disturbing as Kazan begins to dig deeper into Smith’s role in the case. Hamilton’s characters are fully fleshed-out, relatable people who will stay with readers: Kazan’s portrayal as a tortured soul held fast by rage and trauma makes him an unforgettable hero.
Underneath his rough veneer swirls pain and vulnerability. Kazan’s inner turmoil plays out against the background of the gloomy skies and mercurial weather of Vancouver and the unraveling of his relationship with Briar. Hamilton skillfully evokes emotions as he delves into love, companionship, relationship upheaval, pain, regret, justice, mortality, and morality. This is a thoughtful, if diffuse, examination of love and relationships; how we drown ourselves more in misery in order to avoid the pain of a heartbreak. Imbued with passion and high-intensity emotion of a couple’s volatile relationship, this deeply intimate, emotionally charged tale makes for a winner.

Meet Dave Lassam, the Man for the Job: My 39 Years Service in the Royal Australian Navy.
Dave served in the Royal Australian Navy as a medic and also a Medical Administration Officer during his thirty-nine years of service. He has seen a lot of things. He is also a dong handler and he’s saved lives at dog shows. He is truly the man for the job and these are his stories.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
If you’re new to Newsgram, let me point out that this program is all about ordinary people living their lives in extraordinary ways; and to be honest, I’m starting to think there is no such thing as ordinary. If you delve deep enough into any single person’s life you are going to find extraordinary elements. It is just something that makes us human. It certainly makes life interesting and sadly the only time we hear about these things is when you tell your own story so I would encourage you to start writing. I’ll bet you have all kinds of stories to tell.
Today I want you to meet Dave Lassam Lieutenant Commander, RAN (Retired). Dave Lassam is a life saver. He was put on this earth to help people and by the end of this podcast you are going to agree with me — I guarantee it. He has done many things and we’ll get to some of them but one of them was serving in the Royal Australian Navy as a medic and also a Medical Administration Officer. His navy career lasted thirty-nine years and during that time he accumulated a lot of stories. Here is one of them…
At approximately 11pm on October 12th 2002 three bombs were detonated in Bali. The bombers were targeting busy tourist hotspots like the very busy – the Sari Club and Paddy’s Bar – and one in front of the American consulate.
The explosions killed 202 people, 88 of whom were Australian. Hundreds of others were wounded. More than 30 people were eventually arrested for their involvement in the attacks which represented the single largest loss of Australian life due to an act of terror.
Since Bali is so close to Australia, The Royal Australian Navy was called in to aid in the evacuation.
Dave Lassam – and of course we’re the nearest point to Bali and we had to get all the assistants up to Darwin and stage through Darwin to injured back and the story goes into how my part in that and I had a large part in it. I was administering (unintelligible audio) and when the planes came back we had all the ambulances ready to go and all that sort of stuff and worked closely with the Royal Darwin hospital and then we had to send all the patients out to other capital cities in Australia because Darwin was only a small city. It’s not very big at all and the hospital wasn’t really prepared for it. and just helping those people and talking to them and my part in making them just as comfortable as possible.
So imagine you are an Australian citizen vacationing in Bali — or a citizen of any country for that matter. You’re just out with friends having a few drinks, doing some dancing in a Bali nightclub when a bomb goes off killing hundreds of people. You manage to survive but you need medical attention because your injuries are severe so you are flown seventeen hundred miles to the city of Darwin. A beautiful coastal town in Australia but it’s very small and the hospital is not equipped to handle this kind of disaster so men like Dave Lassam jumped in to help make you as comfortable as possible and arrange to have you transferred to a nearby city where you can be properly treated.
Some holiday…
I wish I could wave a magic wand and change the mind of every would-be bomber or assassin but I don’t have that kind of power. The things we are capable of as human beings is astounding. Thank God for the first-responders in this world and their commitment to saving lives. It’s a dangerous world and while it’s nice to know that they are out there. First-Responders, Medics, Military personnel, these are just regular doing their jobs in sometimes extraordinary circumstances. The Bali Bombings left their mark on Dave Lassam.
Dave Lassam – Afterwards I’ve kept in contact with some of them because it was starting my PTSD and I didn’t know that of course at the time. I just felt that, and when I decided to move again to get in contact with them again and I’m still in touch with them today. So, I met a couple of them I hadn’t seen in a long time and gave them a copy of the book and me and their families. (unintelligible)…they were only alive because I helped them to survive and I felt really proud of that. That was really cool and we talk on social media all the time.
The book he just referenced is called Meet Dave Lassam, the Man for the Job: My 39 Years Service in the Royal Australian Navy and in it he shares all kinds of stories like these and he is quite open about his PTSD.
Dave Lassam – With me, I just tend to withdraw totally and curl up in a ball. I can be very horrible actually and I do talk about that quite a bit in the book as well because I’m quite open about it. I’ve got it. That’s the way it is and this is what I do and just try to make it a little bit more bearable and palatable because I was an office in the Navy. Well an officer is out there and he’s saying he’s had it then it can’t be wrong for me as a young sailor. That’s my big thing because if you join as a sailor you want a career in the Navy for however long and suddenly you’ve got PTSD because of something that’s happened to you in the Navy. You don’t want to lose your job. you get scared so people don’t report it as much and that just makes it worse. If you get the treatment and they look after you and catch it early….not a problem.
Dave Lassam is pretty special and remember when I said he was put on this earth to save people. Well hang on to that thought because we are just getting started.
Dave Lassam – I also decided many years ago to do something else besides the Navy because doing navy all the time can drive you nuts so my other half and I decided to do dog showing.
Yes, Dave is also a Dog Handler — Have you ever been to a dog show? A thanksgiving tradition at our house is watching the National Dog Show and of course on TV they wouldn’t show a person in need of CPR but what would you do if you were attending a dog show and you needed medical attention? Pray for someone like Dave Lassam I guess.
Dave Lassam (Saving lives) In dog shows I’ve done six CPR’s in the field and all of them survived and that was due to the fact that my training kicked in and took over for the people who didn’t know what they were doing and got it done. I try not to beat myself up about it. That’s my training. It’s what I do but it’s an amazing feeling when you come out of it because you’re working on adrenaline. It doesn’t matter who you are when it’s over you obviously come down off of that and I’m very critical of myself in what I did because I take notes when I do it and they are specifically for the patient. I also take notes that say oh may need to improve that. That’s just me. I’m very critical of how I do stuff but the feeling is magical. There’s a euphoria that goes with that. I still remember the main ones to this day. I’ve had heart-attacks at dog shows like I said and people who I know have literally died in front of me and I’ve managed to get them back and that sort of thing and then I’d get all the little things that happened in Dorchestire um “Dave, someone’s been bitten by a dog” and I would never turn anyone away and it’s happened to me in the street as well which is really….I’d be walking down the street and somebody’d collapse in front of me and ah, here we go again.
I told you he was pretty incredible. How many times have you attended a major event and saw someone that needed medical attention? It definitely happens but six times? My goodness.
Dave Lassam (Aftermath) Funny enough my PTSD will pick up and it always does it afterwards. I know what’s going to happen to me later. When it’s safe and everybody’s done. I’ll have a big heart and then I’ll crash a bit and I know it’s coming because that’s how it works but i don’t care. I’d rather be all to help someone and make their day a better day then leave them sitting there with no-one helping them, that’s just me.
It’s called selflessness, kindness….it’s a human condition and we are all capable of it. Some of us just use it a bit more than others and there-in lies today’s lesson. You don’t have to save someone’s life but when you see an opportunity to help someone, lend them a hand. Next time it could be your 80 year old grandmother in the grocery store aisle that gets knocked down.
Dave Lassam (Old lady) An old lady had been walking on. She’s about eighty and a couple of young kids inadvertently ran into her and knocked her over and she hit the deck pretty hard. She’s fine now and I run into her all the time in shopping centers, oh hi how are you…you know, and that’s probably the best thing is when you know that what you’ve done has helped. I didn’t save a life that day but I was there to help and that’s the best thing.
Dave spent two hours with that woman waiting for the ambulance to arrive. It was someone he had never met and he doesn’t regret a second of it. He is a dedicated public servant, a humanitarian and author of the book Meet Dave Lassam, the Man for the Job. It’s not all about life saving and he is quick to point out that yes, some pretty amazing things have happened to him, but there are other members of the ADF, the Australian Defense Force that do just as many amazing things because there are good people in the ADF.
His book is chock full of great stories performed by a very inspirational human being. I think you’ll enjoy meeting him. It’s available wherever you like to buy books – Xlibris, Walmart, Barnes and Noble and yes, Amazon. There are links in the show’s description and I hope you’ll take advantage of them and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.
Dave shares his book writing experience with Sloane Fremont on the Books on Air podcast.

The Author
Peter Massam is a British author who lives in a stunning part of the United Kingdom, Witney. Witney is a market town on the river Windrush sitting in the idyllic Cotswolds close to the city of Oxford which is world renowned for the University of Oxford.
Peter’s childhood days were filled with fun. For, coming from a large family with twenty-seven cousins nearby to keep him well occupied, life was adventurous and could never be described as boring. The stories from those halcyon days are often retold at family reunions as they should be.
For Peter working life brought many varied opportunities. He taught for ten years, a period on his life that he thoroughly enjoyed as he broadened young minds. The business world eventually beckoned, and he pursued different avenues to broaden his own mind thus gaining valuable experiences which have stood him in good stead over the years.
As an author Peter, between 2019 and 2021 published two collections in Poetry before moving on to write the ‘Learning Experience Trilogy.’ It is this trilogy that we will be looking at over the course of two podcast interviews.

Six people set off along a U-shaped valley, past giant groundsel and lobelia. Fog descends, light failing, tin hut refuge nowhere in sight. Up rocky slope I clamber to discover a corrie lake with hut on its shoreline. Everybody else hunkers down in sleeping bags leaving me to cook. Washing up in the ice-cold water, I looked up. Sky clears to reveal Halley’s Comet streaking above Mt Kenya’s peak.
The Books
In the last interview with Peter, we talked about the first two books in ‘The Learning Experience Trilogy.’ Those books were ‘Nipper’ and ‘Moose Conquering Fear.’ If you want to know more about them, then have a look at Peter’s first Podcast. These books track a lifetime journey of learning experiences from childhood encounters through coming of age to conquering fear, which culminates in a new appreciation of the power of the mind in the realms if communication, pain relief and self-help healing and preservation, all told through the main character George.
Know Your Mind
The third and final book of the series. As I said in the last interview this book is a real life-changer, as any final book in a series should be.
This book deviates from George’s every day’s interactions and focuses on the remarkable correlation between the body and its perplexing mind. We can all associate with mind over matter and that a positive mindset is a powerful tool when it comes to facing up to everyday challenges. For George in this book, it’s all about a new philosophical approach to life leading him to see that the body he occupies when cooperating with his inner mind thinking’s, can bring about a different outcome, a more positive conclusion to his existence. He can’t do much about the body he’s inherited but he can influence how his body reacts to different scenarios that come his way. All through proven and yet to be proven scientific methods, technological advances, and philosophies. All to create a different perception of the mind in George’s life that many of us can identify with.

In this session we look at applying our teachings from Typhoon Honey to a very real and painful event in which both Candace and Kris have been involved. We discuss what forgiveness is NOT and what it really IS – taking back the power, or what we call “agency,” over our own lives by letting go of the attachment to anger and resentment.

Few people know where the idea of being governed by the consent of the people originate. Lincoln’s famous statement that government is “For the people, by the people, and of the people ” it came from the Mayflower Compact of 1620. This idea evolved into the Declaration of Independence that created the American dream of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” as we know to today. This podcast will excite the listener to be proud to be an American.
In this episode, the Crone & Sage delve into the topic of Synchronicities, those supposedly unconnected happenings that may actually be linked and may be important if we just learn to pay attention to them. We continue talking about the various series within the Witchstones Oracle Deck giving information about the third group of Concrete Stones, the Solstices & Equinoxes. Finally, today’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint reminds us that the magickal is all around us and that we can use sound to make us more aware of our place in it.
We have covered a lot of ground in the eight episodes in this Being a Skillful Self-Awarearea of emphasis. As a result, perhaps you have an idea or two regarding a behavioral change you would like to make to improve your leadership performance. So I thought it timely in this our final episode of this segment of the series to discuss a comprehensive, practical, and proven process to help you make desired behavioral shifts that require more than just a good intention. But regardless of whether or not you have a behavioral change currently in mind, this process is here for you when you need it. Do use it. It will work for you.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Elizabeth Kostova
“It’s funny; in this era of email and voice mail and all those things that even I did not grow up with, a plain old paper letter takes on amazing intimacy.”

It’s funny when I teach my clients about sales and I share how we didn’t have computers or calendar systems. We used the old-fashioned paper and pen for note taking, a paper calendar, and my favorite, a tickler or follow-up system that used notes on index cards that I placed in pendaflex files of January – December and 1-31 Days.
On the flip side, this handwritten framework allowed me to become very personal, very quickly with my prospect and clients, because handwritten notes and follow-up letters helped me stand out because I could personalize every correspondence!
So are you thinking, what the heck is she talking about? Handwritten correspondence in our digital world?

I don’t know about you, but sometimes this is hard to accomplish. Like me, do you have a record that is grooved deeply and replays the same negative mantras every day? I work on shining my light daily, so I can turn down the volume of my recordings and create the life and business I choose.
How about you? Do you have a gift that you are trying to share with the world and need help to raise the volume of your success?

Last week Doc Holliday spoke about the recent bank failures in the United States. This week he attempts to simplify a very complex subject. But America needs to know why we have inflation and an economy that could drop off the edge of the earth if we don’t have leaders who understand why spending trillions of dollars has consequences. Join Doc this week to listen to a simple reason of why we are having banks fail and how it could affect everyone soon. Join now for a conversation that you will never get on the mainstream media. To get Doc’s new novel just rolling out you can go to www.hatchiebooks.com.
When in April of 2022 Jesus asked Roberta and her spirit guide, Thomas, to create a website for Him that would set forth only His Biblical Gospel teachings, without commentary from the Apostle Paul or from the Old Testament books, He specified that it should go live in March of this year. Roberta felt overwhelmed by this request, but fortunately Craig Hogan has a steadier hand, and Jesus’s website done to His specifications went live right on schedule. Here Roberta gives us a tour.
Join me on a Mindful walk through the ancient streets of Israel. I invite you to put on comfortable walking shoes. Then, open your imagination as I guide you through practice with the sounds of Israel.
I am happy to share this gift with you when I was in Israel. The most valuable mindfulness technique I used was mindful walking—Our tour group walked on different archaeological discoveries. We took in the sights of ancient worlds. Even the stones of the streets and buildings had a story. Our tour group was made aware of markings and designs of various times of centuries on old stones.
I realize I could be walking the same path King David walked. It was mind-boggling and humbling. Yet, I grew stronger in appreciation for the hard work, struggles, and determination that went into preserving Israel, her culture, and her heritage. I recognize my existence is small. Yet, I felt a connection with generations that walk the path before me, so that can reveal how we are paving king steps for generations to come.
A special note of heartful thanks to all those of Land and Spirit and The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute for giving over 800 Jews the ultimate Jewish education and experience of a lifetime.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of her newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are no economic political or societal but a disconnect from our true being and soul wisdom, or simply a loss of alignment to Universal Source. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Rabbi Wayne Dosick a former guest of the show to share his new book Radical Loving which sends out a prophetic call to us to rediscover our spiritual roots and have the courage to become voices for radical transformation based on the concept of One God One World One People the subtitle of this book.
For those listeners’ who would like to listen to the former show Rabbi Dosick and I shared about his book The Real Name of God go to the radio page of my website www.sherylglick.com September 2013
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware, Sheryl and her intuitive sensitive guests share stories and insights into the human and divine nature of each individual, exploring a greater awareness of the duality of physical and energetic soul life and the connection to Spirit and therefore, all living things. As we self-investigate and learn more about life and the Universal Laws we can become better equipped to deal with challenges and manifest our best lives as well as finding life is a true miracle and gift.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Rabbi Dosick will share his views on faith, ethical values, life transformations and evolving human consciousness. He shows us how to Re-Member and come together overcoming the fear of separation and demonization represented by fundamentalists who stay limited to old ideas and limiting values. We will find we are all children of the universe, children of God, messengers of peace and warriors for good. Many of us know there is more that unites us than separates us and if we look beyond negativity we can hear our inner voice create acts of love, righteousness, goodness, compassion.
When Sheryl asks Rabbi Dosick to think back to their childhood and remember a person place or event that signaled to im or others what lifestyle interests and pursuits would be most important in their adult lives he immediately tells us when he was about fifteen years old his teacher told his mother that he would not amount to anything as he refused to memorize the Periodic table in science class. Rabbi Dosick says he was already aware his interests were in the social sciences literature and improving the human condition. Thank goodness he didn’t let that premonition destroy him.
Wayne tells us the main ideas of his newest book Radical Loving One God One World One People and why he wrote this book now.
In the First Word Rabbi Dosick writes, What a privilege it is to be in a body on Earth at this moment! He tells us many souls wanted to come to life on earth in this time as the world and Spirit are going through a massive transformation moving from a Three Dimensional reality and way of life to the Fifth Dimension of spiritual awareness higher consciousness greater health prosperity and love for all life…beyond the pain of these societal religious and political issues we will benefit and improve ourselves and human life. We live in the magnificence of Earth’s stunning beauty. We are the crown of creations. We are partners in the ongoing unfolding of the universe.
We stand at yet another pinnacle of scientific, medical and technological exploration. We hold the design for goodness, righteousness, equality, justice, decency, dignity, grace, kindness, compassion and love.
We constantly evolve human consciousness and reveal more and more of the mysteries of the universe.
We embody unleashed growth and unlimited potential.
We are God’s precious children, living on God’s glorious Earth, bathed in the Light of God’s splendor.
How fortunate we are.
How sweet and good our lives can be. And yet we don’t value this precious life as we should.
We need to learn to live together lest we perish together.
Beyond the many great storms our world is now enduring….the heaviness of hatred and division, violence, terror war and greed and political folly which threaten the soul of all humanity There is but one pathway. It is the pathway that requires great and resolute courage. It comes to us from the eternal wisdom and the universal truths that are within us.
Who are we?
How shall we live?
How shall we be?
The answer is right before us.
We must Re-Member
We are One people under God and love and caring for each other is the way.
These are the main ideas of this book.
Since God appears so often in this book is it a religious book and since you are Jewish—and a rabbi—why should anyone of a different religion be interested in what God says through you? Rabbi Dosick shows us that each of the religions evolved from messengers of God who brought an added piece of the puzzle of life not negating what we already knew but added to that knowledge to refine and refresh our deepest feelings of connection to All that Is. Rabbi Dosick wrote,
“Because age-old wisdom teaches us You do not know something until you know its’ name. When we name sickness, we can begin to fight it and defeat it.
We see the evil: discordant division because of race, religion, ethnicity, gender or class—the demonizing of “The Other.”
We see the evil: the rise of xenophobia, radical Islamic fundamentalism, racism racial profiling, white nationalism, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis neo-fascists, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, sexism, misogyny, ethnic discrimination apartheid bigotry, senseless hatred, brutal violence, terrorism and the despoiling of our planet.
The Good News is that men and women of peace and good will can rise up against evil for we understand the words of the modern- day genius-visionary Albert Einstein who famously remarked, “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.”
Sheryl says that for those who follow the love of God within their heart know this and at this time, like Rabbi Dosick myself and the over 700 guests I have interviewed we are are sending their thoughts their words of hope and love and their awareness of the many challenges faced by the world now with solutions for healing ourselves our communities and our world.
Rabbi Dosick writes, A solution can only begin to emerge when, first, all parties and particularly the extremists on all sides stop advocating the destruction of lands and the annihilation of peoples, and when all parties agree to recognize each other and each other’s right to exist in secure, defensible borders. This can only happen when there is honorable self-determination and abiding rights for human rights for all—including religious ethic civic minorities, women and the most vulnerable members of these societies. This is true not only for Israel and the middle east warring for generations but for all nations in the world. Yet if neither a political or practical resolution can be achieved then the only hop that peace will come to Israel her neighbors and other parts of the world is a Divine intervention—a miracle from God.
Sheryl shares with us that in her new book A New Life Awaits she was told about miracles to come and wrote, “ I recently was asked to be a guest at the Enlightened Women Enlightened You Summit hosted by Dr. Ruth Anderson, who told me that Archangel Michael was part of 500,000 light beings on the planet at the present time to aid us in our movement through all the tragedies and heartaches we are experiencing now to a more loving, peaceful time for humanity. I immediately tried to connect to the energy of these teachers and angels being so moved by their desire to help with the healing of our many problems. It is through miracles that they will work with humanity at this troubling time for many people to open their hearts.
The reading that follows is what was expressed to me. April 30, 2019
A march across the valley through mountains Side by side, row after row, endless power and discipline to walk the world as the Jewish people walked through the Red Sea and desert to find God We will help you triumph in light and be free We begin with the children and lift them up to hold their own sense of goodness and help the elders be more aligned to their own innocence We will fan and cool the rage and anger with miracles, Like the boy who lives after being thrown off from the highest point of an escalator in a mall in Minnesota And the Rabbi who with love blesses the woman who gave her life to save him during a shooting in the temple so he could speak the truth to his congregation and nation thanking the President of the United States who gave his time effort and blessings to help the Jewish people and to end hatred and return us to peace.
The women and angels like lifting a tree from a sprout to a giant timber will encourage nurturing Women’s Rights and their nature to provide the best of their life force so the planet can stand married to life love and new beginnings The pain of relationship will be given up for more interactive processes and we will insist on equality for Men and Women, Black Brown and White, Jewish Christian or Islam We will insist on allowing groups to meet and find common ground It is not a request, but a Divine Decree!
Wayne writes that, “As children of God, children of the universe, there is more that unites us than divides us” and with all the diversity and enmity in the world right now, we finally have an opportunity to learn that truth.
Sheryl says that spiritually minded people follow their personal connection to universal source and in meditation, prayer, healing energy work, connect to the love and peace of Universal Creative Energy and know that any limitation to that connection by religion, politics, family, and societal belief systems are the reason we have fear. Division, lack of fulfilling our human potential and spiritual goals. False belief systems, group think, Identity Politics, which place people in different groups dividing and dehumanizing people are part of the main problem the world is facing now. As resources have been misused for personal gain only, nations, corporations, governments, seek to control, and have more power to hold onto the resources they have, rather than eliminating suffering and poverty by sharing, rebuilding, rethinking, ways to preserve and have enough food and water shelter to support the world population. They act in unwholesome ways to protect themselves. This is not Godly nor practical.
Rabbi Dosick writes—in the words of God—that, “the absolute truth is that no group’s book, no group’s interpretation of Me is superior to any other.” What does that mean and doesn’t that contradict what so many religious groups and faith communities have been teaching all these years?
Rabbi Dosick writes, “While I respect and honor every religion and faith community’s pathway, since my own background is Judaism many of the sources references and allusions will be from the Jewish tradition but I hope you can easily transfer my attributions in your own idiom so you can embrace the spirit and meaning of this transmission.
Sheryl says that she believes throughout time man’s religious search for understanding how we as humans came to have a life and how we are to live this life is the most prolific of all searches. Those questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? and What is the meaning of life? have caused people to search for what already lies within their soul and heart. All the answers and connection to the creative force of all life, the Divine God or Universal Source are to be remembered hopefully over the course of a lifetime, perhaps many lifetimes. Truly wise people know, “There are many paths to God and all are welcomed by that divine representation no matter what path you choose.” Therefore, Acceptance Allowing and Surrendering are the way to move past negativity and to find calm peaceful loving resolutions to all our challenges and problems.
He goes on to write, “In days of old and surely these days, your theme song seems to be, “My God’s better than your God,” But that is absolutely impossible! There is only One God. Me. I am the Creator and Parent of each and every one of you. I am God. There is nothing else. I form light and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I, the Source and Substance of All do this (Isa. 45: 6-7)
“I am the Everything of the Everything, the wholeness, the totality, the Oneness of the universe—male and female, father and mother, light and dark, and shadow, us and other, justice and compassion, pain and comfort, sense and nonsense, good and evil, anger and tranquility, indifference and passion, joy and sorrow, tragedy and triumph, right and wrong, yes and no, conflict and harmony, war and peace, vengeance and incredible love, life and death, and life eternal.”
“There is nothing that is not me. “ And I know you intimately and intensely.” So I tell you: Your two different genders are just a practicality that you can reproduce and populate the Earth. Otherwise, men and women are equally human, equally my children. Your sexuality is your choice. I am All and All is me. Everyone is created in My image. I do not care how you express your Beingness….
When I created you, I made each one of you a perfect human being. I do not make mistakes.
I gave you the whole Earth as your collective home.
It is you who have imposed any perceived differences on each other.
I love you all –fully and equally. In each era, I gave you a collection of myths, legends, fables stories, codes, ways of living and most of all—ways to love.
To the Hebrews, I gave the Bible
To the Christians, I gave the New Testament.
To the Muslims, I gave the Koran.
To the people of the East, I gave sacred ideas.
To all the indigenous people of all places, I gave tribal tales.
All of these holy texts came through sages who were my messengers.
Wisdom is wisdom. It does not belong to any one faith or religious community. It belongs to the Universe—to all times and all places and all peoples.
Yet …,says God, you all misunderstood. You all perverted my intent. Historically and for many today, My religious guidebooks are not seen as cumulative but as superseding the previous…..
This has led to your theological, ideological cultural and political warfare—to crusades, nationalism fundamentalism, radicalism inquisitions, holy wars, pogroms, gas chambers, genocide, and world -wide terror—with the current threat of nuclear annihilation hovering. It has led to the disruption of the sacred relationship of human beings and Me as co-creative partners on Earth. Our Earth cannot be healed, built up, and perfected while some are trying to tear it down through their own egoism and selfishness.
The absolute, universal truth is: No groups book no groups interpretation of Me is superior to any other………..What you call religion came into being to be a vessel, a vehicle for people to join together to relate to Me—a power greater than you understood—and to attempt to find your place and purpose in the universe.
He goes on to say, I am the One God. There is this One World in which we exist. You are One—the children of Me—the One God. You –We—are One. All is One. One is All. Oneness—human unity—does not mean sameness. Our world’s richness comes from the dazzling tapestry of the ways that you live and become. There is so much to celebrate in your unique world-views and experiences. You can cherish your magnificent uniqueness and you can respect and honor the wondrous significance of all humankind.
Radical Loving, the title of your book means as Rabbi Dosick writes that “We talk to God. God listens. And then, God comes to us in words, and visions and day and night dreams. And we really have to listen and see—to be open, clear channels: to be empty enough for God to come through us……..These incredible challenging times call us to nothing less than a radical shift in human consciousness, a sweeping revolution, an unbounded evolution and transformation of humankind and the planet we inhabit. We envision a complete, unconditional unreserved embrace of the World of Spirit and a World of Oneness. Can we heal our broken world? Can we wipe away the darkness and bring the light? Can we see the face of love in every human being? Can we jubilantly embrace the pathway that will lead us forward to Eden on Earth?
Please. Let’s try.”
We can come to know that wherever we look, there is God. All we have to do is be aware, be conscious. God is Everything—Everywhere. Seeing your face is like seeing the face of God (Gen.33:10)
When we see the Face of God how can we react in any way except wrapped in love? If we openly and freely gave each person intense passionate radical love, then we would know that every person is just like us a child of God.
We talk about what Awesome Holiness is. To be holy means to be different, to separate from any similar entity in the universe. God is holy because God is unique from any other being. We can be holy when we rise above mundane; when we stand out from the ordinary, when we bring a sense of direction and purpose to our maddening world: when we care share and love. We can be holy when we reflect God’s ability to have relationships of unconditional love. We can be holy when we heal our own brokenness join with God in the task of transforming and perfecting the world. We can be holy when we feel the Divine Presence flowing within us when every thought word and deed make us God’s partners here on Earth.
Some of the places in our lives and some of the ways we can begin to implement these ideas with practical everyday examples are:
We must make our lives into what it really can be and we can perceive what God would want for his beloved human children. God desires that the heart be pure and we fully give God our hearts by opening our minds and souls to the teachings that God has given us throughout the ages and to talk with him in dreams, prayer and meditation. God simply wants each human being to become the best he/she can be and to live free from need and fear with all-encompassing human rights and dignity.
Rabbi Dosick goes on to say, ”Let’s tell it like it is. Any group or person who tries to impose belief, or behavior on others must be stopped from discrimination and intimidation. Everyone has a right to personal or communal belief and passion. No one has the right to force that belief or passion on anyone else. Fundamentalism is poisoning our world. So mainstream moderate Jews must stand up to the rigid ultra- Orthodox: mainstream moderate Protestants must stand up to evangelicals: mainstream, moderate Catholics must stand up to arch conservative mainstream moderate Muslims must stand up to radicals. And mainstream moderates of every place on the gender, racial political spectrums must stand up to misogynists, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, neo fascists, and anti-Semites. We can no longer let the big bad bullies of this world terrorize us or control our lives. We can no longer be afraid. There is only one antidote to the fear that prevents us from taking action and standing for truth and ultimately what God wants for us. That is love.
Perhaps when we remember or realize once again that there really is a force and creation, universal, divine, eternal, and therefore unending, and that God is at the very center of who we are, where we are, all that we are, and what we do, and all that we will become, we can once again know as the Jesuit priest and spiritualist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. God placed us on this Earth with a Divine Design for our purpose and mission. We are co-creative partners in building up our world and we are to follow God’s code of moral behavior and ethical values that elevates the human spirit. With God, we are to fashion a world of goodness, righteousness, peace and love.
Sheryl says as we realize there is no separation, no duality, and God is the Fullness of All Being, we will not feel alone or separated from love and uncomfortable in challenges imposed on us by the physical world. Then, we will remember that God is within us, around us, and that each breath we take in life is shared with the divine breath that made us human and gave us this physical life in order to refine our soul energy and understand how intimate our connection to God is, now and forever. When we finally know this truth we understand that we must live according to the laws of the Universe and not be broken down by other people’s belief systems, then, we are able to help others and the highest good for all is realized, as we know that our will is God’s will and goodness love and honor is at the core of our unique, but united spiritual essence. As a soul we have a unique history and destiny but all souls are interconnected to each other and all of life, which is God.
Even though Radical Loving was written before the onset of the worldwide Covid pandemic, the pandemic affected what is written here.
Rabbi Dosick writes and Sheryl understands this to be meaningful and true. “We do not know God’s design for our world. We do not know how our temporal suffering fits into the Divine plan and how our personal pain may be contributing to the ultimate perfection of the world and if we look to the ancient biblical story of Joseph who was given in slavery to the Egyptians but through his love of God and spiritual gift of mediumship or prophesy was able to help the Pharaoh and was given power and great position. When his brothers met him again, they were afraid of retribution for having acted badly but Joseph said, “You meant it for evil against me. But God meant for good.” (Gen. 50:20)
And it was good indeed, for because of his position, Joseph was able to save the entire country from starvation and his whole family from certain death.
Sheryl shares with us that when she as an intuitive healer and medium was sick with Covid April 2020 she was in constant talks with Spirit wanting to know the purpose of her having this dreadful disease. Sheryl’s breathing was affected and she practiced constantly expanding her lungs and exercising them drinking lots of tea and water, resting, and watched as many families grew closer together via facetime and other social media, and frivolous values were replaced with a great love for each other and life and God as well.
When Sheryl returned to doing her radio shows she spoke with another healer who had also been ill and said Before having Covid she was unable to do distant healing with a person sick with the disease as the discomfort she felt in the lungs was too hard for her to move past. After being ill, she was able to move past the symptoms of her clients, and help them recover. So she had built up an immunity for herself and Sheryl also found she was able to send healing to many who needed it. That was the Divine Plan, so while Sheryl didn’t like having the illness, she accepted and surrendered to it and ultimately it worked in many ways to support her and others.
We thank Rabbi Wayne Dosick for sharing a lifetime search for truth and the remembrance of our eternal connection to God and all living things, finding that an important reason for a physical life experience is to know we are within God’s energy and love, and to share God’s message that all his children on earth and beyond are loved equally, unconditionally and are holy in that realization.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing from Within it has been Sheryl’s privilege to discuss the issues that are most dear to her heart and soul journey and to share the many loving messages that Spirit, the Divine God Universal Source or whatever you call that Infinite Eternal Wisdom of Creation who surrounds us, lives within us, and we within that force of love and compassion, use our time on earth to ask questions, ask for help when needed, and trust the larger plan for your life and humanity as a whole. For within us and in this personal connection to God are the answers and compass to guide us to truth love, and living our best reality.
With age old-wisdom wrapped in modern day garb, the Rabbi’s thoughtful sweet and inspiring stories deep insights and gentle guidance are the calls to a renewal of our emerging new world of Oneness Unity beyond separation from life or fear of change and a way to bring Heaven to Earth As it once was, it can be again.
Rabbi Dosick writes, Paraphrasing the Talmud: “There are singular moments in our lives when we can discern the entire reason for our existence…(BT AZ. 10B)
Our time has come.
Our moment is now.
We have to be ready to fulfill our destiny.
We have to be joyfully willing to love, love, love.
The pandemic and the civil unrest have finally cracked open our hearts. The light is slowly flowing in. We sense, we feel, we see, the new world – home waiting for us to grasp it and step inside.
Home is the heart of love.
And God is eagerly waiting to welcome us home.
Rabbi Wayne Dosick and Sheryl would have you know that life is a miracle, each of us is a miracle, and as we open to the goodness, kindness, and love of All that we are blessed to receive, we will grow more aware of our uniqueness and ways to harness the love God holds for each of us and for humanity as well, so we may grow ever closer to the Divine Eternal within us that transcends the challenges of life, here and beyond.

Dave Lassam joined the Navy in 1978 and was discharged in late 2016 after almost 39 years service. He served as a medic and also a Medical Administration Officer during his time. The book contains his memories of an awesome career and covers many subjects from my attendance at car accidents; reviving people who had had heart attacks; working in disaster zones to give humanitarian aid and many other stories.
Dave wrote his book at the behest of many of my civilian friends with whom he had told these stories and also for himself. He has been involved in some of the biggest news stories in Australia including his role in the evacuation of Australian nationals from Bali after the Bali Bombings, to commanding a group of medical specialists and sailors who deployed with the US Navy during humanitarian missions to the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
This book also covers Dave’s diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Prostate cancer which basically ended his career.

The Shepherds of Inequality and the Futility of Our Efforts to Stop Them provides the reader with well-researched information on money-laundering cases that made news in the years from 2017 to 2022. From trafficking people, donkeys, and sand, to ingenious bankers, people in power, and the very rich, a picture emerges of what must be the biggest industry in the world, because ongoing opportunities exist everywhere for anybody.
The world response known as anti-money-laundering legislation is traced to its origin and the measures being taken to combat this scourge. Her findings reveal a bureaucracy of compliance initiatives that cost financial services a lot of money with relatively little success, although well intended. The reasons, the author contends, are that much of the laws relating to tax application, company structures, offshore tax havens, justice systems protecting heads of state, the variety and ease with which money and cryptocurrencies can be moved, and the culture of greed have led to global inequality and undernourished economies.
The world is on the wrong path to minimize money laundering. Find out more and get your copy of The Shepherds of Inequality and the Futility of Our Efforts to Stop Them by Dawn Pretorius on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

I’m not sure about you, but I know from experience that life throws us the biggest curve balls when we least expect it.
I remember when I first had my kids, life seemed to be filled with chaos, fitting it all in. Work, kids, family, household needs, and the list seemed to go on. So how do we learn to keep moving forward and survive life’s ups and downs and thrive too?
This is a great question, and I think today’s conversation will help us all explore alternatives to help us thrive no matter what’s happening around us.

This quote hit home for me and the battle I feel I’ve had with my weight since I was a kid.
I was 5’9” in 8th grade and was taller than everyone, including the boys. I felt like a freak of nature most days. The worst was when we had to get measured for our height and weight during gym class.
I was always athletic, so the gym was usually the highlight of the long academic day. That is, until it was time to get on the scale in front of the entire gym class…ugh!
Most of my peers were under 5’ tall. So when I got on the scale, and the nurse would call out our weight, it was as if the entire gym went silent, and everyone heard how much I weighed.
Can you imagine? It was no fun and embarrassing because I was over 100 pounds while most of my classmates didn’t even come close to registering three digits. This experience set a course of feeling insecure about myself and learning to go beyond my limiting beliefs.

You’re never supposed to modify the word unique, but when it comes to marriage, it truly is a unique relationship. It’s a combination of every other kind of relationship there is. And if you don’t understand all of the elements, and have a way of acknowledging each of them, your marriage will struggle more than it needs to. Dr. Assael Romanelli and Galit Romanelli define three of the most important relationships within a marriage and how you can support each one so your marriage will thrive.

The vast territories of North America offered many claims to the land. The native Americans who inhabited the country had little use for land titles or boundaries. Their claims were made at the edge of a tomahawk. But the English and the French Kings had a different understanding and they freely made claims with titles and boundaries. Not surprisingly conflict was inevitable and when the interests of the Six Nations of the Iroquois collided with that of the French and English over the same territories, the hostilities ignited the French and Indian war in North America that became the very first World War.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares messages and stories of Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Today Sheryl is delighted to welcome Paul Levy, author of Wetiko which offers insight into the Native American meaning of Wetiko, an evil cannibalistic spirit that can take over people’s minds leading to selfishness, insatiable greed and consumption destructively turning our intrinsic creative genius against our own humanity.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her intuitive guests share intimate and insightful experiences that help us answer questions of Who Are We? What is Life really all about? How can we find peace and happiness in a world suffering from so much despair? In discovering more about the duality of life: our physical and energetic life, we come to know we are much more than we appear to be and by merging our energies we can improve the quality of life personally and collectively.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Paul Levy will explore how artists philosophers and spiritual traditions across time and space have been creatively symbolizing the deadly pathogen of the psyche to help us see and heal the concept of Wetiko which has appeared in Kabbalah, Hawaiian Kahuna shamanism, Buddhism and mystical Christianity through esoteric concepts like demons, counterfeiting spirits, and psychic vampires. We explore how the projection of the shadow, self-scapegoating is the underlying psychological mechanism fueling Wetiko and how Wetiko can be seen within the Covid -19 pandemic so we can find the lessons and opportunities offered by it. Paul sheds light on the Wetiko mind-virus and how to recognize the power of imagination to shed light on this destructive thinking that infects so many in these challenging changing times
Paul, when asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person, place, or event that may have shown him the lifestyle and interests he might pursue as an adult describes his father who though he did not physically abuse him set up an environment that caused distress and discomfort for him. Perhaps that led him to want to know more about the issues in people’s minds that lead them to destructively use their creative imagination and talents in less than purposeful and evolving ways.
Paul goes on to tell us about what Wetiko is and his interest in that energy that disturbs most of us. Wetiko is a contagious psycho-spiritual disease of the soul, a parasite of the mind, is currently being acted out en masse on the world stage via an insidious collective psychosis of titanic proportions. This mind-virus—which Native Americans have called “wetiko”—covertly operates through the unconscious blind spots in the human psyche, rendering people oblivious to their own madness and compelling them to act against their own best interests. Wetiko is a psychosis in the true sense of the word, “a sickness of the spirit.” An inner cancer of the soul, wetiko covertly influences our perceptions so as to act itself out through us while simultaneously hiding itself from being seen. Wetiko bewitches our consciousness so that we become blind to the underlying, assumed viewpoint through which we perceive, conjure up, and give meaning to our experience of both the world and ourselves. This psychic virus can be thought of as the “bug” in “the system” that informs and animates the madness that is playing out in our lives, both individually and collectively, on the world stage
Wetiko is also a quantum phenomenon, in that it contains within itself the potential to be either the deadliest poison or the most healing medicine. Will wetiko destroy us? Or will it catalyze our evolution and wake us up? How wetiko ultimately manifests depends upon nothing other than whether we recognize what it is revealing to us. How dreamlike—the very thing that is potentially killing us is at the same time helping us to remember who we are. How wetiko manifests depends upon how we dream it. Before discovering the Native term wetiko, Paul was calling this pathological aberration of the psyche “Malignant Egophrenia”— whose acronym is “ME” disease. For when all is said and done, wetiko stems from our mis-identification of who we think we are (our sense of “me-ness”). In a very real sense, we are not who we believe ourselves to be if we experience ourselves as a “separate self ” who exists separate from other (imagined) separate selves—not to mention the whole rest of the universe. From this misguided thought springs a case of mistaken identity, out of which grows the pestilence of wetiko
Paul tells us how he first encountered Wetiko in his own life. Paul writes, “When I first directly encountered wetiko, the experience literally drove me “out of my mind” (some people think I haven’t yet returned, but that’s another story) and destroyed my entire family. I have written a book about this, Awakened by Darkness: When Evil Becomes Your Father. One of the gifts of this nightmarish experience is that it has given me an authority to write about such heavy matters as wetiko and evil in a way that no amount of intellectual study could have provided. Through this traumatic set of experiences I received a direct transmission/transfusion of the wetiko virus into the veins of my soul, which, besides making me sick and almost driving me permanently crazy, changed the trajectory of my entire life. This destined me to commit to healing myself from this ill-fated happenstance and to try and understand this seemingly otherworldly force with which I had come into contact (or which had contacted me). Fortunately, my “close encounters of the wetiko-kind” have helped me find my voice and discover my work—this book being just one example. If I hadn’t connected with my creative nature, I would have been in deep trouble and undoubtedly would have become another one of wetiko’s seemingly endless casualties. The point is that I have not written this book as an intellectual, academic, or scholar comfortably sitting in an ivory tower philosophizing or creating theories about wetiko. Rather, I’ve written it as a way of coming to terms with my own harrowing experience with the subject matter, barely escaping with my life and my sanity intact.”
Paul goes on to tell us of his personal encounters with wetiko. He felt convinced of the profound importance of something that many people seem either unaware of, disinterested in, judgmental of or possessed by. It can be a very lonely experience to see something that many other people aren’t seeing. However, I’ve learned to persevere in my vision and continually refine my ability to transmit what I’m seeing in a way that can be helpful for others.
He noticed that it is typically people who have really suffered, be it from going through some sort of wounding experience, emotional trauma, abuse, addiction, and so on—and then have done their inner work—who recognize what I am talking about when I point to the insidious workings of wetiko. These are usually people who have found that traditional religions no longer satisfy their deeper spiritual needs and that mainstream cultural values no longer speak to their souls. Not contained in a faith, these are people who don’t feel that they are in possession of some absolute truth, but are really open to what resonates with their immediate, lived experience.
A few years ago I ran into a friend whom I hadn’t seen for a while. He asked me what I had been up to. I answered that I was writing about the collective psychosis (wetiko is a collective psychosis) that our species had fallen into. His response was telling. He asked me what made me think there was a collective psychosis going on. His question left me speechless; I literally didn’t know how to respond. What made him think there wasn’t a collective psychosis going on, I wondered. Could he give me one piece of evidence? Our collective madness had become so normalized that most people—my friend was extremely bright, by the way—didn’t even notice. Many of us have become conditioned to thinking that if we were in a middle of a collective psychosis it would mean that people would be doing all sorts of “crazy” things such as running around naked and screaming, for instance. This ingrained idea, however, gets in the way of recognizing the very real collective insanity in which all of us are—both passively and actively—participating. If we want to envision what a collective psychosis could actually look like, it might be a real eye-opener to realize it would look exactly like what is happening right now in our world
Paul says that wetiko has been pointed at since time immemorial. Many famous philosophers scientists healers have observed this mind-virus Called by many different names throughout history, the spirit of wetiko renders every other issue secondary. Wetiko is the overarching umbrella that contains, subsumes, informs, and underlies every form of destruction, of ourselves and others, that our species is acting out in our world on every scale. If we don’t come to terms with what wetiko is revealing to us, nothing else will matter, as there will be no more human species.
Humanity is facing the most important question in our history— whether human life will survive in anything that resembles what we now know it to be. We are answering this question with governmental policies and collective behavior that, for the most part, only increase our acceleration toward multiple disasters—as we madly compete with each other to race off the nearest cliff as quickly as possible. Instead of telling the future, I am trying to shed light on a dynamic happening within the human psyche that has been rendered unconscious—and hence forgotten—a dynamic that will shape this present moment and will produce our future. We won’t be able to effectively deal with the horrors that lie in front of us if we can’t face the horrors that lie both behind and within us.
This deeper dynamic had been happening in, as, and through the whole course of human history for millennia, but in recent times it’s becoming more evident and harder to deny. I was—and still am—simply pointing at a deeper longtime pattern that is revealing itself through the behavior of our species. Once we recognize this wetiko-inspired pattern, we cannot “unsee” it; our aptitude for vision expands accordingly.
The contributions of C. G. Jung being ahead of (as well as outside of and an expression of) his time, the great doctor of the soul C. G. Jung, who, it should be noted, considered himself a philosopher in disguise, was tracking wetiko (although not using the indigenous name). He referred to it by a number of different names (for example, oftentimes referring to the dangers of psychic epidemics, collective psychosis, the germ/infection of evil, totalitarian psychosis, imperialistic madness, counterfeiting spirits, powers of darkness, the demon of sickness, etc.). Jung’s wisdom and insight on this topic deeply inform this book. Finding Jung’s work was instrumental for me to get a handle on my own personal encounter with the mind-numbing evil of wetiko. I shudder to think where I would be if I hadn’t come across his writings. It can be so helpful when we are experiencing something that is not culturally sanctioned or recognized to discover someone who has found the words for our seemingly unspeakable experience. Other people have described me, to my horror, as a “Jungian.” (In this I think of Jung saying, “Thank God I’m Jung and not a Jungian.”) I have never even taken a course on Jung. I am simply a independent researcher who follows what inspires me, which Jung does no end. I am totally self-taught regarding Jung. Indeed, he himself felt that his work would more speak to ordinary people than to the scholars and experts. I am a case in point. I am only interested in the parts of his work that speak to my personal experience and help me to alleviate my suffering.
In a sense, Paul’s work on wetiko is a collaboration between him and unknown Native American philosophers, psychologists, and shamans. They lived in a world of tight communities and mutual responsibility for daily survival, in harmony with nature. They had no cars or mass weaponry or stock markets or telecommunications. But they were human like us. They, too, had to deal with the ins and outs of the human psyche. They fought wars and dealt with psychosis, crime, evil, and people of the lie. They had to protect themselves and their societies.
When dark forces arose within the group, they had to identify them and know what could be handled and transmuted by the tribe and what was so toxic that it needed to be exiled for the safety of the rest. Their shamans and medicine women and men understood the nature of demons, possession, and evil in a way that could be most instructive for modern humanity. They provide us with a brilliant diagnosis as well as an urgent warning.
The followers of the Buddhist path can’t monopolize or copyright the idea of “Buddha-nature”—for they are pointing at something that is intrinsic to the living experience of being a human being. In the same way, what the Native American wisdom-holders are illuminating in their conception of wetiko is a universal, archetypal experience that is an essential aspect of our experience of being human. The Native American conception of wetiko can add to, complement, and flesh out the articulation of this same malady by other spiritual traditions.
In describing wetiko, the Cree describe giants that grow with each human meal, so they are simultaneously huge and emaciated—never able to fill their inner void—searching desperately for their next victim, driven by excess. In coming across the Native American idea and description of wetiko, I recognized it in my own life as well as within my own mind. I have no doubt whatsoever that what the Native Americans refer to as wetiko is a universal condition afflicting everyone; it is something we are all fated to come to terms with in our lives
Paul talks about the fact that wetiko is a form of blindness. Wetiko is the overarching umbrella that contains, subsumes, informs, and underlies every form of destruction, of ourselves and others, that our species is acting out in our world on every scale. If we don’t come to terms with what wetiko is revealing to us, nothing else will matter, as there will be no more human species. Humanity is facing the most important question in our history— whether human life will survive in anything that resembles what we now know it to be. We are answering this question with governmental policies and collective behavior that, for the most part, only increase our acceleration toward multiple disasters—as we madly compete with each other to race off the nearest cliff as quickly as possible. We have fallen blind—as if in a hypnotic trance—while a seemingly demonic force compels our species toward its own self -destruction. To quote eminent theologian David Ray Griffin, “Our battle seems to be against ‘flesh and blood’ less than against some demonic power to which human civilization is in bondage.
Strangely enough, the hardest of the hard sciences—quantum physics—comes to our aid to serve as medicine to protect us from the psychological danger of becoming absorbed in our despair. By revealing that we live in a thoroughly quantum universe, quantum physics is placing the keys to our future in our own hands. The question is,” Do we know how to use the gift that is being freely offered to us?”
A little insight into the essence of what quantum physics reveals to us about the nature of our world and how we operate within it can be the best antidepressant imaginable. Quantum physics is empirically showing us the malleable and dreamlike nature of our universe. As quantum physics has revealed, our act of observing the universe influences the universe that we are observing. This is to say that our act of observation is creative. We are not passive witnesses of our world, but—whether we know it or not—active cocreators with it. What this means is that we hold enormous power in shaping our world. Quantum physics points out that even if something is incredibly, ridiculously unlikely, it can still manifest “in reality” in this very moment. Highly unlikely is not quite the same as impossible. An infinitesimally small or “nonzero” probability is radically different than something that is impossible; we should be very careful what we assign to the trash bin of the impossible. The implications of this, both in “the real world” and within our minds, are truly uplifting and inspiring. In questioning and shedding light on the boundary between the possible and the impossible, quantum physics is expanding the realm of the possible to previously unimaginable degrees. In a time such as ours, filled with lies, propaganda and disinformation it becomes nearly impossible to tell what is true or false. It thus greatly behooves us to at least be able to say what is within the realm of possibility.
Wetiko induces in us a proclivity to see the source of our own pathology outside of ourselves—existing in “the other.” Wetiko feeds off of polarization and fear—and terror—of “the other.” Seeing the world through a wetiko-inspired lens of separation/otherness enlivens what Jung calls “the God of Terror who dwells in the human soul,” and simultaneously plays itself out both within our soul and in the world at large.
Wetiko subversively turns our “genius” for reality-creation against us in such a way that we become bewitched by the projective tendencies of our own mind. Falling under wetiko’s spell, we become entranced by our own intrinsic gifts and talents for dreaming up our world in a way that not only doesn’t serve us, but rather is put at the service of wetiko (whose agenda is contrary to our own). Our creativity then boomerangs against us such that we hypnotize ourselves with our creative genius, which cripples our evolutionary potential
Paul says wetiko is the most important thing to understand in the world today
To understand how important wetiko is to understand in the world today we begin with Egregores are similar to the Tibetan conception of tulpas, which are animated thought- forms visualized by a solitary practitioner that actually take on a seemingly autonomous existence and materialize into physical form. As hard as a tulpa is to create, these self-created thought-forms are considered even more difficult—once having taken on form—to uncreate and dissolve. Imagine how much more challenging it would be to dissolve a collectively dreamed up egregore (a human created, mutually shared thought form). This challenge, however, starts with each one of us right now, in this moment. Once a critical mass is reached—of people who are dreaming up the tulpa/ egregore’s dissolution—the tulpa/egregore will indeed dissolve in no time at all.
This is an expression of the incredibly potent, mostly untapped power we all have to creatively transform our world when we get in synch with each other. Evil is, psychologically speaking, terribly real. Today as never before it is important that we not overlook the danger of the potential evil lurking within us. Only someone really asleep, blind, or infantile can pretend that evil is not at work everywhere. The more unconscious we are of the role that evil plays in our world, the more the devil drives us. When we are taken over by the egregore of ‘e‘epa/ wetiko, this darker spirit rides us, sitting in the driver’s seat of our human vehicle. It’s the one calling the shots, all the while convincing us of the exact opposite—making us feel like we are in charge of our lives while we are actually playing the role of a ventriloquist’s dummy. Wesselman is of the opinion that there is an egregore astride our Western society. These egregores encourage us to create false beliefs, distracting and inhibiting us from realizing our true potential so that we cannot be of optimal benefit to humanity.
Practically all of our modern social, political, economic, military, and religious institutions have egregores as appendages that have been incorporated into the body of the organization. These egregores are like psychic-energetic attachments that are greatly influencing the institutions off of which they are feeding. These egregores could not negatively influence us, however, if we didn’t have the unconscious potential for darkness latent within us.
Paul says wetiko is related to Covid and we can find ways to find opportunities to learn from this difficult world health challenge
With the coronavirus pandemic it is as if the immaterial wetiko virus has taken on corporeal form. It is a true game changer to recognize that the virus is a materialization in our world—a REVELATION— of the immaterial and heretofore invisible wetiko virus that exists deep within the collective unconscious of humanity.
What is playing out with the Covid-19 pandemic, with all the various political, social, and financial reactions to it, as well as what it brings up inside of our minds, can help us—in true quantum style, potentially—to see wetiko. Multiple Vectors of Transmission It is a limited and overly one-sided materialistic viewpoint that conceives of Covid-19 as solely being a physical virus. Having multiple facets of operation and channels of influence, the virus is multidimensional in its impact. It is affecting our world in practically every way imaginable. Besides its obvious physical aspect, Covid-19 also has a psychological vector of transmitting itself into our minds (via our unconscious reactions of fear, stress, anxiety, etc.). The “mental” vector of the virus spreads much more quickly, as it is exponentially more contagious than its biological counterpart. It propagates itself through the channel of our shared unconscious blind spots and fears. Only Covid-19 Is a Symbol of a Much Deeper Infection. If we become enchanted by the forms of the outer world, entranced in thinking the virus is merely physical, we forget the outer world’s inseparable interconnection to the world within us— which splits our mind in two. We then become dissociated within— and from—ourselves, a state that forecloses on our being able to be of help to anyone, including ourselves. We have then unwittingly fallen under the thrall of the psychological aspect of the virus.
What would you like readers to take away with them after reading your book Wetiko?
An invisible specter in the field, the coronavirus is creating havoc in our world, disrupting business as usual as it ripples—both in our world and within our psyches—throughout the globe. To quote Jung, “Everything could be left undisturbed did not the new way demand to be discovered, and did it not visit humanity with all the plagues of Egypt until it finally is discovered.” The coronavirus can be envisioned as a modern-day plague of Egypt. It is a living revelation that is dying to show us something about who we are and our place in the universe. What it is revealing to us about ourselves is crucially important for us to know. Our very survival depends upon receiving its message. We hear every day the phrase We are all in this together.
In the late 1950s, Jung wrote words that are as relevant today as they were then, “We are in the soup that is going to be cooked for us, whether we claim to have invented it or not. We are threatened with universal genocide if we cannot work out the way of salvation by a symbolic death.” In other words, we are fated to suffer an unconscious “literal” death if we don’t consciously go through a “symbolic” death. This symbolic death has everything to do with finding “the new way” that is demanding to be discovered by our current worldwide plague.
As we go through a species-wide dark night of the soul—the mythic night sea journey—our illusions about the world we live in—and ourselves as well—are being shattered. Seeing through our illusions is a symbolic death of the self that was wed to—and lived by—illusion. Being disillusioned—having our illusions dispelled—is to become sober, stepping out of our intoxicated state. Being disillusioned is truly mortifying, a real death. It is the dying of an overly one-sided—and bogus—image of who we are (remember—one of wetiko’s other names is “ME disease,” i.e., a misidentification of who we think we are).
Our species has gotten drafted into an archetypal death/rebirth experience. In symbolically dying to a part of ourselves that is no longer serving us, another part of us is being reborn. We as a species have been drawn into the cycle of the death and rebirth of the gods. Said another way, having become part of a deeper mythic, archetypal, and alchemical process of transformation, we are going through a cosmic death/rebirth experience of a higher order. The divine process of transformation is typically experienced as punishment, torment, an experience of death and then transfiguration. This divinely sponsored process is subjectively experienced by the human ego as torture. However, if we don’t personalize the experience, identify with it, or get stuck in its nightmarish aspect—a great danger—but allow this deeper process to refine us as it moves through us, it can lead to a transfiguration of our very being. *In alchemy, the torturing of the prima material was an allegory of Christ’s passion.
We thank Paul Levy for sharing a concept of age old source, Wetiko a Mind Virus that plagues our world still and for sharing creative ideas to heal the many issues created by the thinking and behaviors of this thought process.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have come to see that as Paul writes, “The source of the problems confronting humanity are fundamentally not economic, political, or technological, but rather are to be found within the human psyche. To quote Stanislav Grof, “In the last analysis, the current global crisis is a psychospiritual crisis; The Corona Virus and the Wetiko Virus as they reflect the level of consciousness evolution of the human species. It is, therefore, hard to imagine that it could be resolved without a radical inner transformation of humanity on a large scale and its rise to a higher level of emotional maturity and spiritual awareness. Radical psychospiritual transformation of humanity is not only possible, but is already underway. This is an important point to consider: There is undeniable evidence that an expansion of consciousness in the human species is not only a remote possibility but is already taking place. Grof concludes, “The question is only whether it can be sufficiently fast and extensive to reverse the current self-destructive trend of modern humanity.”
Paul Levy and Sheryl Glick invite you to see yourself in light of the wisdom that lies within you and to recognize your well-being, happiness and personal self-growth, do not lie in the expressions of the physical outside world, but within the soul wisdom and maturity that lies within and connects us all to each other and to Universal dimensions of eternal life. While it may not be possible to eliminate wetiko, it is possible to realize we can rise above its infectious trauma producing scenarios and move past the limitations that it imposes on our true spiritual gifts.

How do we chisel away the excess “marble” that gets in the way of authenticity? From the perspective of Michelangelo(the Renaissance artist), looking at the extra slabs can be seen as visionary. By locking ourselves in negative habits or lifestyles, we could unintentionally be contained within a self-limitation world. This podcast will explore ways to chip away slabs of behaviors that hide our authenticity. First, take a mindful moment and do an awareness check. Then, prepare to explore how to get to your authentic self. It is valuable to bring forth an awareness of what keeps us from becoming our true selves. Your awareness check can begin by asking yourself the following questions. How are you doing? What are you doing to keep true to yourself? How are your behaviors reflecting the true you? This podcast is part 2 of “Sculpturing authenticity by releasing the true you” And is an inspiration inspired by positivepsychology.com.

JoinDoc Holliday on this week’s show as he digs into the recent failure of three banks in the U.S. Doc uses a clip from Louisiana’s Senator John Kennedy on the senate floor to explain what happened when our administration decided to bail out all depositors even those who were holding more than the FDIC insured limit of $250,000! What kind of consequesnces does this bailout have for future bank managements? What does it mean for our small local banks compared to the big banks? And is President Biden being truthful to the American people when he says taxpayers are not footing this bill to bailout the depositors, even those who are holding more than $250,000 in these failed banks? Click on now for information most Americans will never hear! And don’t forget that you can order Doc Holliday’s new novel at Hatchie Books.
In this episode we are going to get into the topic of sales – the process, the resistance, and the relationship building aspects with my friend Connie Whitman.
If “How can I level up my business, relationships, focus, or even just life in general?” Is a question that crosses your mind – you have come to the right place. On High Frequency Mindset we are going to unpack those questions and find the solutions that will launch you into action for rapid, concrete results. You can check out other ways to level up right here on my website.
Connie shares her expert knowledge, gained from nearly 40 years in sales, about how to have “Objectionless Buyers.” She reminds us that there are 2 conversations going on – 1 at the conscious level, the other at the subconscious level. And the subconscious conversation is much more powerful. Sounds deep right? Are you ready to learn about it?
In order to increase your sales success, you need to understand and control the subconscious level. You can move from resistance to objectionless by understanding the 5 layers of resistance, which are largely at the subconscious level, and how to address them.
As Connie reminds us, we need to park our ego and put the interests of the prospective client first. We all know that people do business with people they know, like, and trust. Connie reminds us that they may know, like, and trust you, but in order to do business with you, they need to remember you. When you put their interests first, they’ll like and trust you. And they’ll remember you. Which positions you to earn their business!

Happy Spring! Yesterday was the Vernal or Spring Equinox which is one of two days during the year when there are equal amounts of daylight and night. On The Pathwe recognize it as a way to remember the importance of working to be better balanced in our lives, especially between the magickal and the mundane.
In this session Sarah and Kris discuss the many defenses our egos construct, why they are there, how they differ from our boundaries and what to do about them. We dig into the process of becoming more self-aware because of our defense mechanisms as the work around to thoise defense strategies and a healthier way to deal with the situation.

At its core, meditation is perhaps best described as a practice that allows one to focus. Which to me translates into “training one’s brain” to stop spinning: To not be distracted, to ponder and evaluate. Often meditation is associated with religious practices. And that is appropriate. But I find that this practice benefits in all areas of life. The MUSE 2 is an electronic device that helps train the brain to let one bypass emotions and take control. Since I am finding this to be a valuable tool in my personal efforts, I want to share what I have so far learned about the MUSE 2.

The Author
Peter Massam is a British author who lives in a stunning part of the United Kingdom, Witney. Witney is a market town on the river Windrush sitting in the idyllic Cotswolds close to the City of Oxford which is worldly renowned for the University of Oxford.
Peter’s childhood days were filled with fun. For, coming from a large family with twenty-seven cousins nearby to keep him well occupied, life was adventurous and could never be described as boring. The stories from those halcyon days are often retold at family reunions as they should be.
For Peter working life brought many varied opportunities. He taught for ten years, a period in his life that he thoroughly enjoyed as he broadened young minds. The Business world eventually beckoned, and he pursued different avenues to broaden his own mind thus gaining valuable experiences which have stood him in good stead over the years.
As an author Peter, between 2019 and 2021 published two collections in Poetry before moving on to write the ‘Learning Experience Trilogy.’ It is this trilogy that we will be looking at over the course of two Podcast interviews.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/_Hk61we5O_kQuirky Story
Six people set off along a U-shaped valley, past giant groundsel and lobelia. Fog descends, light failing, tin hut refuge nowhere in sight. Up rocky slope I clamber to discover a corrie lake with hut on its shoreline. Everybody else hunkers down in sleeping bags leaving me to cook. Washing up in the ice-cold water, I looked up. Sky clears to reveal Halley’s Comet streaking above Mt Kenya’s peak.
The Books
Nipper
This is the first book in the trilogy, and we are introduced to George the main protagonist throughout the series. The story starts off in the sanctuary of a frugal but loving homestead. For George, his carefree and simple lifestyle is about to change, his days at the local primary school are ending, ‘big school’ is beckoning, and for George like any child that’s a daunting prospect with all the new experiences heading his way, particularly girls young and old. George’s first trip on the school bus to secondary school was an eye-opening encounter that left an indelible mark on him, a mark he carried with him for a considerable period. The storyline in this first book is all about one boy’s view of life being turned upside down and how he started to conquer his fears particularly with how to handle the opposite sex, something all boys of George’s age must face.
Moose Conquering Fear
The second book in the series, here we find George has moved on in life, he’s about to leave education and transgress to a working life and relationships. Both scenarios for George carry their own fears, does he opt for what he sees as the safer route or again does he conquer his anxieties. For George life is and probably will be all about facing up to his instabilities like most people have to. In this book we see George facing up to life’s upsets, the ill-judged decisions he’s made and the fact he doesn’t appear to learn from his past, both in his personal and business life. I think so many of us can relate to George here especially men, a woman, however, might have a different viewpoint here. Is there a happy ending for George, well that is for me to stay stum and you the readers to find out.
Know Your Mind
This is the third book in the trilogy which has only just come out. This book will be featured in another interview on Talking Books Show in April 2023. But to whet your appetite regarding this final book in this amazing trilogy I’m prepared to give you a sneak preview as to what is about to be revealed.
This third and final chapter in the trilogy moves on from talking about growing pains from childhood and teenage years through to adulthood all courtesy of George facing fears to exploring the remarkable relationship that exists between the mind and the body and how those correlations climax in a new philosophical viewpoint.
What began as a collection of thoughts is simply breath-taking. We are all aware that we have five senses, but when these senses are subdued to allow a sixth sense to evolve; well, that’s a game- changing occurrence, and that’s what lies in wait between the pages of Peter Massams’ third book. As I say it’s a real game-changer like the last book of a trilogy should be.

Author Timothy Green’s home is with his poems and today we will share his passion. He has a new book out called My Sweet Aroma with about two hundred poems in it. The poems were gathered from his previous books, The Sail, The Face and there are about seventy newly written verses.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Timothy Green is a poet. He has written a number of books and has a real knack for titling them. His first book was called The Sail, The Face.
Timothy Green – My second book was called Open. My third book is My Sweet Aroma. The first two, um I had very little money to publish it so it wasn’t edited. So I decided to bring the first two books into this third book which is “My Sweet Aroma” and I did seventy on top as well so that one’s professionally edited and I’m really, really proud and pleased with the work.
Yea the second one, OPEN had an old fashioned typewriter on the cover with a piece of paper rolled into it and the words Open typed on a piece of paper. It was clearly the start of something and I wanted to know more.
Timothy Green – Yes you can look at that in many different ways. I mean one word can just mean so much doesn’t it.
For Timothy Open and really all of his poetry is a spiritual journey one laced with the artistry of prose.
Timothy Green – Absolutely yea, it’s not just a case of picking up this book I’ve told you to open it so pick it up. No, it’s a case of being open with people and being open with your beliefs and being open to God as well.
I’ve said this many times on Newsgram but it is important to stay open to new ideas and experiences. Life is a journey and there are so many different ways to travel. Timothy says his poems flow easily out of him. It’s an effortless process from pen to paper, very much like channeling.
Timothy Green – Sentence to sentence, line by line I don’t know what’s coming out next where it’s like I can write a line and then I’m thinking what next and you write another line and it just goes into it really. I write for the pleasure of it and I write because it’s what God wants. He wants to show the world that Christians aren’t stuffy and you know they don’t just go to church and sing happy Christian songs there’s a lot more to it.
In keeping with our journey references, when the creative process is in full force and writing becomes effortless it can be like a flowing river or traveling on the open sea, a place that can be highly unpredictable but also quite beautiful as long as you have faith.
Timothy Green – Yea, while you’re on your journey towards the sea towards freedom of eternity there’s suddenly felt an arm of protection pushing towards the shore so you’ve sailed out to the sea you’ve gone into the distance. You’ve gone to the horizon. You’ve pushed every boundary you want to push and then you think now I want peace. So we go onto the shore and we’re back in the direction of what our lives were meant to be and the difference we’re meant to make. It’s not just for us.
Poetry is such a unique style of writing. It’s musical but the words are the melody. Sometimes it’s very visual like “The rise of the dawn’ a poem he wrote about the beauty of nature and creation and the peace of knowing you are in it. He writes about finding our purpose, traveling the open sea, strengthening our faith and enjoying nature. Here’s a poem he wrote called The Calling Birds.
Timothy Green – The Calling Birds call to me… (Timothy reads the full poem).
You don’t have to be an ornithologist to enjoy that one. He writes about all kinds of easy-to-understand poems that are thought provoking and based on faith with our being overly Christian. Writing is a labor of love for Timothy and you can really feel that in his work. That being said, there is also a great deal of work that went into his latest book. The writing and editing are now finely crafted into a beautiful presentation that anyone can enjoy without being bogged down by a heavy message or agenda.
Timothy Green – It is a Christian book but I believe everyone can read it. These poems are beautiful and they’re pure poems and they are written with love. There’s too much in the media these days of negativity. I believe a Christian should represent God in the way this book is written cause it will give you truth but it’s a joy to read as well.

We say, “I hope so.” Often just in passing with no real expectations. And that is all good. But hope can be a powerful source of motivation. At times we are afraid to really hope. We let the fear of failure freeze us. Here I share ways I have found that help me put things in perspective and make hope the foundation for a more positive outlook on life.

If you have been listening to this show or following me on other SM platforms, you know I am all about building authentic, real, dynamic relationships where together, we can grow our businesses and revenue by using love, care, and respect.
So you can imagine my excitement when I was introduced to my guest, Rabi Gupta, on how we can use AI gifting to accelerate relationships that help our businesses grow.
Corporate gifting has proven effective, with 66% of people who received a promotional product/gift remembering the brand and 79% saying they would do business with the company again.
Are you as excited as me to hear about an AI-based corporate gifting platform?
About Rabi Gupta:
Rabiis the Co-Founder and CEO of Evabot. This AI-based corporate gifting platform makes it easy for businesses to send highly personalized gifts to their clients and employees, which helps them build authentic relationships that grow their companies.
They serve 1000+ businesses, including giants like Facebook, Microsoft, Oracle, AT&T, Zendesk, Silicon Valley Bank, and Cigna. Before opening Evabot in 2016, Rabi sold his company called iCouchapp.
After the sale, he boldly moved to Silicon Valley to start this new company. With no relationships there, he used gifts to build his network but got frustrated by the lack of technology to make gifting easier. So, together with a few friends, he solved this problem using AI, and that’s how Evabot was born.

The discovery and migration of people to the Americas occurred over several centuries. The explorers were searching for a new land where they could freely practice their religion without fear of being persecuted by the established denominations in the Old World. The
persecuted Knights of the Temple Mount also known as the Knights Templar explored the lands of Canada in 1362. Another Templar, Christopher Columbus, explored the Caribbean Islands and South America over a century later. The Knights Templars’ principles of freedom were passed on through the Freemasons who incorporated those ideas of freedom into our founding documents.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick, Reiki Master Energy Teacher (RMT), medium, and author of the newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Messages to Support Global Awakening, which shares stories to show our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect form our inner soul wisdom and universal source. Sheryl is delighted today to welcome Connie Zweig, a retired psychotherapist and former executive editor at Jeremy P. Tarcher Publishing, and author of her new book The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul, which suggests that with extended longevity comes the opportunity to become an Elder, to leave behind past roles, shift from work in the outer world to inner work with the soul and become authentically who you are.
As listeners of Healing From Within are aware, Sheryl and her intuitive creative guests offer intimate views into the dual nature of life as both our physical and divine aspects offer a view of “all that is.” Some may be seen, more may be felt or remembered by inner soul instincts, but, life is definitely much more than it appears to be, and when we discover who we truly are, the opportunities to live lives of distinction and extraordinary joy becomes available to us. So in other words we must look beyond the belief systems and societal training of our youth, conquer ego based fears and illusion to a sense of truth of eternal dimension and fact and grow more aware and reach higher levels of consciousness.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within, Connie Zweig author of The Inner Work of Age will offer a radical re imaging of age for all generations, showing us how to use inner work to uncover and explore the unconscious denial and resistance that erupts around the key thresholds of later life, helping to attune one’s soul longing and offering a transition to being a wise Elder, if you’re lucky enough to pass through being a senior, and have the opportunity to repair the past, to be fully present, reclaim creativity and allow morality to be a teacher, and often to therefore become a force for change in the lives of others. Connie gives listeners a way to understand opportunities for our aging population and seniors, to appreciate the gift of longevity and the benefits as well as challenges that this chapter of life offers as well as prepare for it.
Connie when asked to think back to her earlier days in childhood and to remember a person place event or common theme in her life that may have shown her or others around her the work lifestyle and interests she might pursue tells us she was always longing for more and though not from a religious family felt a need to connect to a greater force of life and to help others know this great awareness or sense of Universal Source. Sheryl tells of feeling much the same way and simply wanting to make people and herself happy no matter what was happening around or within her as she was growing a sense of the challenges of life.
Connie tells us about her successful career teaching and writing about the Shadow, or that part of us that lies in the subconscious, often creating confusion or chaos, and hindering us from being truly present and conscious of our most wonderous attributes and divine ability to heal and improve all aspects of ourselves and our world. Aging, or the concept of growing older, is often perceived as a consequence of life and not a blessing, so many people try to remain in one phase of their life, not realizing every chapter of life offers exceptional opportunities to expand your view of self and the true nature of a spiritual and physical life.
Connie tells us that “For most of us, aging in an anti-aging culture are not in alignment to reality: we want to look away and forget for a while, pushing the messenger back into the darkness of shadow of the unconscious, until it shows up again in some inexplicable symptom or repeating forgetfulness or sudden loss of vitality. In all of our denials, we miss out on the greatest opportunity of this time: to reinvent ourselves from the inside out and become who we were meant to be. In any case the encounter with age continues to occur in small ways, happening often, sometimes as a gentle nudge, sometimes as an all-out assault. When we feel ashamed by our loss of ambition or sex drive and ask, ‘Who am I without that? When we are not resilient enough to recover from an injury and ask, “When will I get back to normal? With each of these encounters, we may feel shame or even betrayed by our bodies. Our surprise reveals a lack of awareness that aging is occurring. A tension emerges between our denial, or our belief that we can control aging, and our reality as we are living it.”
For those who explored consciousness in our earlier days as Connie and Sheryl did, late life is a call to return. Our emotional and spiritual development does not stop here: it continues in every moment, in every day. And our aging can be a vehicle for slowing down, reorienting to the inner world, watching the breath, being fully present, and learning to witness the internal obstacles as they arise. Aging is our grist for the mill, as spiritual teacher Ram Dass put it.
Sheryl adds “Aging is a way to learn to turn experience into insight. It is a gift to live a new chapter of life as each experience and part of life is but the story unfolding as spirit has helped each soul to create for themselves, and they can in memory, go back to any part of their life to review and appreciate, but the greatest pleasure is to be present, for in that moment, you are creating something new.”
Connie realized that beyond the stereotypes of what it means to be old drivers who shouldn’t be behind the wheel: people suffering from dementia and left in nursing homes, shuffling shoppers pushing their walkers in the grocery store, there are other exceptions like in 2016 a ninety-five year old Finnish women completed a 500 foot bungee jump, William Shatner the famous Captain Kirk from Star Trek long ago, at 90 years old just was on a flight into space and in 2019, an 103 year old was sworn in as a junior ranger at the Grand Canyon.
Aging like everything in life is personal, individual and unique as is each living being. As Connie writes, “Our quality of late life is lived individually, not as a group. It can be more than accommodation of change. It can mean overcoming fears, developing fresh aptitudes, cleaning up toxic relationships, living more in the present moment, and transcending the ego, allowing it to take a backseat so that life opens to an intuitive flow. It can be a time to mine the gold from the dark side, reclaiming unfulfilled dreams and expressing unrealized talents.”
Sheryl has to agree that she never really thinks about age too much just about possibilities for new awareness and chances to make different choices and experience life with new perceptions. When Sheryl went through menopause she never anticipated having emotional or physical pain or an upset, as her mother had never shown or spoken of being unhappy at that time of her life and of course, Sheryl had no difficulty either, for she accepted that reality as part of life, and was grateful she had had children, health, and was moving into a new chapter of life. Sheryl never felt the empty nest syndrome either when children leave for college or marry and leave their parents home. Embracing all experiences and seeing the potential to grow as a result, rather than expecting fear to emerge or bad things to happen, as Sheryl knows that thinking can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. The mind is very powerful in manifesting the quality of our life, whether we are young or in late life.
In reference to these thoughts in her book, A New Life Awaits: Spriit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening, Sheryl writes, “The Universe, it appears, is asking us to pay attention, wake up, and go beyond all differences and limited thinking to observe, make corrections, and reevaluate priorities and values. Let’s help the coming generations to have multiple and plentiful opportunities to live and discover the beauty and awe-inspiring hopes of past ancestors who were able to forgo uncontrolled impulses for material gains alone, finding genuine or authentic human qualities. I grew up in a time when there were peace movements along with world concerns for idealistic approaches to living well and where personal fulfillment was a valued commodity.” In the chapter on aging, remembering all that has come before in our earlier days, and our ancestors who are now in spirit, helps us appreciate the value of a long life and a life lived with courage, reliance, passion, positivity, and a desire to serve through being grateful for all that has been, and all that is.
Connie decided to write a book about the Shadow in late life as a way to show its immense value. Connie writes, “When I first began to research this book, I offered workshops to hundreds of people over the age of fifty and they all expressed feelings of disorientation as to what lie ahead without direction so groping in the dark for the next step of their human journey. Others spoke of the loss of purpose that came with the loss of work, roles, careers or family roles. Many could not let go of the past to be fully present now. Some spoke of their fear of illness or death. But they also told Connie that they sensed intuitively that there was something more to life, something hidden that had been missing a mystery, that remained unexamined……….People entering late life suffer another identity crisis, a return of the questions Who am I? What are my values? What do I believe? What matters most to me? How can I give back to the common good? We typically ask these questions during a midlife crisis too. But at this stage of life the response tends to be a change in roles, a change in career or spouse or geographical location. However, in late life, a change in role is not significant. There is no romantic or geographic solution to our longing. The idea that late life is a call to another rite of passage—and to teach practices to enhance that as they learn to center themselves and find a new orientation in space and time. For many of us this stage of life can be challenging. Our lifelong ideals and high expectations crash up against limits of all kinds—the limits of an aging brain/mind/body, the limits of a fraying financial safety net, the limits of discrimination against aging race and gender, even the limits of love. Certainly, the limits of time.
Connie goes on to discuss the inner “ageist” and how it affects our health. People who have explored their own psychologies and come to understand themselves deeply may have a different experience than those who identify with the outside world, judgment of them according to false standards, or accepted behaviors. They may know what triggers their anxiety, what they need if depression arises, and how to ask for support. They may be better able to tolerate loss and uncertainty, and their emotional resilience may give them more flexibility to adapt to the changes that occur with aging. Extroverts and introverts will age differently too. Extroverts will tend to move toward more interaction through service, community work and family and social relationships. They gain energy in group and feel more purposeful in stable marriage and family intimacy. Introverts will tend to move toward more quiet settings where solitary time and inner work can be done. This helps them conserve energy and tap into internal resources. Our religious and spiritual beliefs and experiences also define and confine aging. So less inner ageist or fear and working on ridding oneself of the effects of childhood trauma help our health, our spiritual awakening and how we age. In alignment to Connie showing us the way to go from senior to elder in a process that people who are given the gift of a long life have there is the opportunity to explore now, allowing them to evolve beyond the business of earlier life filled with obligation and survival needs.
Sheryl observes the nature of life at the present time and in her new book A New Life Awaits she shares this feeling and writes, “As I observe this continuous chain of friction among people, nations, and our major institutions, within families, and observe increasing numbers of natural disasters; war; genocide; terrorists; people waging war with themselves and succumbing to addiction, alcoholism, drugs, and other self-defeating illnesses; and people who simply feel disempowered, overwhelmed, and unable to participate in living their daily lives with vitality, I like to remember that these seemingly disheartening events are simply the means to begin to know the many layers and dimensions of self, life, and change and are efforts to move us from pain to pleasure and eventually our spiritual afterlife.” Changing attitudes and perceptions to embrace a higher awareness of eternal nature allows us to shift to working cooperatively for the good of all, improving life now and later. Sheryl feels Elders through spiritual practice and reflection are able to observe society and its needs and leave a legacy of wisdom for those who follow to also find a path to higher consciousness.
Connie writes, “Other main Shadows we might meet with the dizzying speed of change as travelers in late life, might make one feel left behind. In looking at some of the changes that have happened rapidly over the last few years of course exacerbated by the Covid plague, our democracy once taken for granted has been hacked. Bookstores are almost extinct. Customer service jobs have been replaced by robots. Phones are attached to our hand or never far away. Digital platforms consume the children and as we watch massive scientific and technological breakthroughs unfold, we also watch widespread social and cultural breakdown. We are living in a time of simultaneous, interconnected crisis: a rapidly warming climate that’s creating extreme weather events, the risk of future pandemics, a backlash against globalization and liberal democracy, an ever-expanding concentration of power in multinational corporations and social media platforms and a growing awareness of racial inequality in every domain in life. And that story is not merely about increasing longevity, but about the changing form and meaning of human life, and its course of development in families and communities. Age is a lens through which we can view other crisis. This lens enables us to see the intersectionality of issues that appear to be separate, but also exposes the strengths, weaknesses, and inherent responsibilities of society for young and old alike.”
There is the difference between becoming a Senior and becoming an Elder. For instance, we transcend midlife letting go of the roles and responsibilities of this time and enter a neutral zone in which we are not young/not old. We are between clear -cut roles and identities, still active and engaged, but not quite sure who we are anymore. Eventually with inner work, we move past midlife or being a senior emerging as an Elder. “Elders” release past identities but carry all that we’ve learned, all that we love, always within us. In meaning to cross over or go beyond. A transition is a passage to a next stage of life, both internal and external, such as from child to adolescence, from single to married, from senior to Elder. Traditionally, such transitions were marked by sacred rites. On the other hand, transcendence is an internal shift to another level of awareness or a change in stage-not age.
If we continue to transcend past roles and identities eventually, transcending ego and awakening into higher stages of awareness we can become Spiritual Elders. That is our ego development includes inner work leading to adult maturity.(Ken Wilber calls this Growing Up.)
Carl Jung pointed out that the root of his patients post-midlife… problems was lack of a spiritual outlook. Connie believes this instinct for life completion is the manifestation of spiritual yearning or holy longing that appears in late life. It’s the evolutionary force within us that seeks the shift from role to soul.
Carol Orsborn in her book Older, Wiser, Fiercer writes, “By the time we are old, we have lived long enough to know what we and the world are capable of: the heights to which we can rise, and the depths to which we can sink. Perhaps evolution has given us old age because it takes so long to get beyond defending and storytelling to live life in its intended intensity….Few of us become willing to take on the potential for the pain of awakening, before we have tried every apparent shortcut—and there are so many. Carole advises “ Don’t wait to start your spiritual practice until it’s too late. We need that clear quiet awareness to center us in the midst of the hits that keep coming with age.” “Furthermore, if we identify with ego, self-image, success or other midlife values in late life we miss the opportunities to connect with shadow and soul.
If we identify with doing and deny our need to slow down and reflect, we keep doing what we’ve always done rather than experiencing aging as a spiritual practice.
If we identify with a healthy body/mind and ignore physical cognitive symptoms we miss the possibilities for self-care and may not realize illness as part of spiritual growth.
If we identify with a narrow band of time within a 360 -degree view of past present and future journey we remain stuck in denial of the fast and in fear of the future.
If we identify with regret about the past or feel like a victim of our history, we miss the opportunity to let go of the past, give and receive forgiveness and live and die in peace. If we identify with past religious or spiritual beliefs and don’t reexamine them so they are congruent with who we are now, we won’t repair our relationship to Spirit or to our place in the greater universe.
If we deny and resist the inner work of age because the ego cannot let go of control, we lose the chance to become an Elder.
If we identify with a narrow separate sense of self, we lose the opportunity to cultivate our connection to something larger than ourselves and move into higher states of awareness.
We can define a Sage or Elder. For members of organized religions church and synagogue communities can be a source of social support an a venue to serve others but usually provide no rituals to celebrate seniors becoming elders. And, of course, the esoteric or public forms of these traditions offer no spiritual practices to gain access to mystic states or higher stages of developing. For those of us who have taken a more individual path as unaffiliated seekers our practices become essential.
Sheryl says that as a Reiki Master Energy Teacher RMT her practice of meditation, being more silent in times allotted to be away from work family and normal day activity. has helped her reach and share higher information through channeling messages from Spirit for clients and family. Mediation is a refuge, and a buffer against the losses and disorientation of age. When following your life plan, destiny unfolds without as much anguish or stress, and aging is definitely easier.
While our cultures also define and confine aging, there are ways for positive aging or successful aging, leading to the status of elder, one who is comfortable with themselves and not easily overwhelmed by external stimuli, as they are able to balance and harmonize with all of life For example the movement for positive aging or successful aging emerged a decade ago to counter the consequences of long-term negative views of aging. Proponents urged people over fifty to maintain productivity, engagement, contribution, physical and mental health, sexuality and autonomy. It works.
An elder may not want to be measured against the cultural expectations, but align with change, and deepen self-acceptance to create life to reflect who we are now. In summary, to encapsulate the meaning of “old” in a three- letter word reduces it. In the Latin root of the word, Old, alere, means nourish. Somehow in the postmodern youth- oriented society, the precious ancient meaning of old whether it’s nourished or nourishing has vanished. However, Elders would be both!
There are developmental tasks to become an elder. Late life is defined and confined by many forces. Certainly, there are genetic predispositions and variations that affect aging. So our bodies—our health, illness and resilence—define and confine our experience of aging. Acute and chronic physical health issues may take our time and attention, leaving little energy for inner work unless it’s already a habit.
Those of us who have financial resoruces and a felt sense of affluence, also will have “time affluence” which allows us the space to devote to inner work. For those who struggle with survival needs, however, evolutionary needs seem like a luxury. So class differences inform their experience in late life and racial differences do too. In addition, the support we get from our families and social networks and our beliefs about meaning and purpose, all contribute to our capacity to do the inner work of age.
We all hold conscious and unconscious attitudes that support or undermine our health and resilience. For example, if our identity is rooted in our image, we may struggle to adjust to the incremental changes that occur in our appearance, losing confidence and motivation. Others, whose identity is rooted in a role at work or in financial status may have more difficulty maintaining self-esteem as these sources or identity change. One man told Connie, “Who am I if I’m not a psychologist, helping others all day? Another said, I built this company from the ground up—and now they want me out. What is the meaning of my life without my company?
An elder learns to think beyond his self-worth, being tied to accomplishments, and a fear of dependency. Slowly we can learn to reverse roles and accept help and a new reality and a mature kind of dependency without fear of losing our youth or self. The whole truth is this: Aging is not one dimensional. It’s full of opposites….
Being and doing
Freedom and dependency
Purpose and disorientation
Vitality and fatigue
Holding on and letting go
Extroversion and Introversion
Pleasure and pain
Gain and losses
Beginnings and endings
As an Elder we need to be mindful of where we put our attention: on growth or decline, gains or losses, holding on or letting go, And we need to remember that neither concept, on its own,tells the full, nuanced truth. Perhaps as Carl Jung suggested, if we hold the tension of opposites and let them simmer for a while rather than choosing one side and banishing the other into denial, a novel third possibility will emerge: the capacity to become a true Elder, who does not think in black or white terms, splitting good or bad, projecting one or the other, but will hold the tension of shadow and light—who is both nourished and nourishing.
In order to do the inner work of age and to remember yourself clearly as a spiritual being of infinite possibilities and eternal energy, it is important to understand the term Personal Shadow. Personal shadow is a term coined by the renowned Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung who served as an Elder to Connie while I was writing this book. The shadow develops in each of us) to form a conscious ego and banish the opposites (rudeness, stinginess, self-centeredness and so on) into the unconscious shadow. These unacceptable feelings images and desires lie dormant in the shadow but may erupt abruptly in hurtful or self-destructive behavior addictions and projections of all kinds. Shadow work is part of inner work that leads to accepting allowing surrendering all this negativity without judgment and regret in yourself and in regards to others.
Aging is our next frontier—a physical, emotional, moral, cognitive and spiritual frontier We can only truly reinvent life later from the inside out. Here we are with decades of life remaining to us after our reproductive years and after retirement more than any other generation before us. But if we don’t learn to age from the inside out, we won’t fulfil the promise or our souls.We find out more about spirituality in late life and how it differs from earliest stages. As the physical vehicle the body declines in late life, what does the soul ask of us? Are we unknowingly living a worn out personal story that we may no longer believe or are we fighting an old fight such as the one against parental values that no longer matter?
Connie tells us the story of Buddha a tale of waking up to the truths of human life. As we know there was a prince Siddhartha who lived in a palace and whose father the king was determined that his son would grow up to succeed him without ever knowing fear suffering or sadness. But Siddhartha was curious and when he was twenty -nine years old ordered his charioteer driver to take him outside the palace gates. Among the crowd, he saw a woman and man both bent and gaunt with cracked skin and teeth chattered, gray hair and hands that shook. What are they Siddhartha asked? Sire, these creatures are like others who live into the twilight of their years. They are old. They were once children who grew to have strength and beauty: they married and raised families, and now are near the end of life. They suffer from the press of time that mars beauty, ruins vigor, kills pleasure, weakens memory and destroys the senses. They are a ruin of what they were. The prince asked “Will this also be my fate?” “My lord, no one who lives can escape this fate.”
Meeting old age, the prince encountered the first divine messenger—and his first glimpse of the truth. So began his journey to become the Buddha. After Siddhartha saw the frail old man and woman, he saw two more messengers, someone ill and someone dead.
But he also saw a wandering monk and imagined in an instant a life beyond suffering, a life of high purpose dedicated to spiritual awakening. His soul awakened and he longed for that life, to go beyond his own suffering and to liberate others.
Of course, most of us live in denial sheltered by loved, and overprotected surrounded with the delight of beauty music and love, and fall under a spell that shields us from the realities of human suffering old age sickness and death. The spell of youth leads us to feel immortal and to live as if life has no limits. Sheryl says that perhaps that is a miraculous gift to move us towards light bright joyful and positive pursuits while we have a state of wellness and curiosity to learn and live unimpeded by fear of almost anything that would quell our desire to experience life in all it’s glorious ways.
We can shift from role to soul. If we have been in denial about anything in our lives, the emergence of these divine messengers old age, illness death,—triggers a profound identity crisis in us. They are gods or archetypal forces that carry the power of shocking us out of the spell that has limited our full view of life death and who we really are beyond beliefs and societal training. They carry the power to awaken in us an awareness of the fragile nature of physical life and the fleeting quality of time and the end to come. Potentially, they awaken in us a profound yearning to shift priorities and turn our attention and energies away from the trivial and toward what is essential in life, away from distractions and toward inner life. The yearning may stir souls with a divine discontent with conventional life and a need for something more which Connie calls the “holy longing.”
Connie might want readers of The Inner Work of Age to take away with them after reading your book that life after 50 can feel like we’re in mid-air between trapezes, unable to let go of the past, or see future possibilities. My approach to late-life identity crisis requires turning within and using tools to break through the denial of internalized ageism, face our unconscious fears, attune to our soul’s longings, and explore meaning beyond doing. If we complete this rite of passage, shifting our identity beyond role we can release the heroic ego strivings and become who we truly are for the first time. With psychological and spiritual practices we can shift from Hero to Elder and role to soul
We thank Connie Zweig author of The Inner Work of Age for the most comprehension and complete way to understand aging and the journey from senior to elder and offering a means for people to see past the way society, or youth, views late life, to a spiritual sense that late life is the perfect time for the soul to finally assimilate the experiences of this life, become free of the fears and anguish of trauma ,depression, or sadness and fill their hearts, beyond right of wrong and the duality of spiritual or energetic life and physical life to the oneness of accepting themselves as both, the soul and physical being they are.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have come to see that the answers to problems that hide in the darkness, beneath the boundary of awareness in the invisible world can brought to the light of awareness in later life . Becoming a sage or elder requires going beyond the confines of childhood societal training, or the ego’s point of view which seeks the ego’s objectives to appear okay, look good, feel in control, and get things done. We have found that this identification with only our physical world, limits our growth beyond appearances, to one of maturity and soul identification. We find the ego’s goals are not the tasks of Late Life which require us to move our attention from the exterior world to the inner one, from the ego’s role in society to the soul’s deeper purpose.
Connie writes, “Every spiritual tradition teaches that the ego is a construct of the mind that serves us well in our midlife heyday but eclipses our deeper identity, whether that is called our Christ nature, Buddha nature, Atman, Self or spirit. I use the word soul to refer to this essence, the aspect of every human being that is not a small, separate entity, like ego, but connects us to the universal spiritual nature of everything…. Our identity or self-sense at any moment can be rooted in ego or rooted in soul. It’s not what we’re doing but how we’re doing –our state of mind—that makes the difference.”
There are three qualities of awareness like the three keys hiding in the dark:
Shadow awareness: portal to depth Pure awareness: portal to silent vastness Mortality awareness: portal to presence
As we move through the stages of Late Life we break through denial with shadow work activate the next stage of our soul’s development with a practice of open mindedness meditation and observation and maintain mortality awareness while being present and using our time well.
Connie and I well into our Late Life journey hope to be an elder having already found that life in any stage is a gift, and we are all on a spiritual path whether we know it or not, for we are all spiritual beings having a physical life in order to remember what is hidden deep within our heart and soul essence, that love compassion and hope for learning, loving, and living, is at the forefront to bringing heaven to earth, and enjoying life to the best of our human and soul being rather than merely wadding through the challenges.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Helen Keller
“We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/-IorEdar_5ECheck Out These Highlights:
Wow, this quote had me pause and reflect on when things haven’t gone as I had planned or wished; looking back, I can clearly see the hidden messages that I needed to understand. I feel like, at times, I can quickly stop and listen so I can create intentional change in my life, but often it’s hard even to realize there is a hidden message that we should be reflecting upon.
I sometimes feel lost in the constant flow of information and the busyness of modern life with no way out. In the past, I have had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t quite right or felt like something was missing that I couldn’t seem to see or understand.
Have you ever felt this way where perhaps some aspect of your life (i.e., relationship, job, finances, health) was no longer fulfilling, off course, or dissolving?
So how do we decern what’s needed to alter the situation we find ourselves in? Hum, great question!

Life as a parent, especially a first time parent, is not easy! In this handy, pocket sized book, the author combines her years of experience with Montessori teaching strategies with the knowledge gained over the years as a parent. She believes that her own children were her best teachers. They were the reason she became a Montessori teacher.
The book is intended to be used as a guide for parents and grandparents. The chapters are not intended to be read sequentially. Whenever time permits a chapter can be read over a cup of tea or coffee.
The topics for each chapter were chosen based on questions asked by every new parent. Topics include: Learning the language; The word “No”; Consistency; Obedience; Discipline; Tantrums; Routines; Manners; Sharing; Paying Attention; and so much more. Each chapter contains an explanation of the concept, what it is, how it is useful, and how to implement it using scenarios and stories. All of the examples and vignettes are fromreal life and based on nearly 30 years of observations and interactions with the very young. At the end of each chapter is a bullet point summary of the main points from the chapter.

In his book, The Human Mind: A Psychological View of Theological concepts, Dr. Kolb compares and contrasts the scientific understanding of the human mind with those in the Bible.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
In the previous episode we talked about Dementia but today we are going to explore a different aspect of the mind and we will be keeping with our tradition on Newsgram of introducing you to interesting people leading their lives in interesting ways.
Dr. Eric Joseph Kolb has lived a difficult life paved with physical disability. His childhood dream was to become a professional athlete just like his father and brothers but a form Muscular Dystrophy — I’m just going to use the abbreviation FSH changed all that.
Dr. Eric Joseph Kolb – I had to find a new way to keep myself active, occupied and still maintain my interest in psychology and also theology.
And that is the thing we are going to focus on today. If it’s two things that normally go together like oil and water it’s science and theology but Eric found some common ground.
Dr. Eric Joseph Kolb – One day I was reading the verse where they asked Jesus what’s the most important rule and he says love the lord your God with all your heart, body, mind and soul and it just hit me in that moment cause i had just been reading something in Psychology that the human being is made up of these four components and each of these four components work together but there are many questions on how they work together and to which degree and lots of theories so I just dove into that from the scientific or psychological perspective but also being aware of the theology behind it realize, wow, this is one thing where the bible and science really seem to fit.
So he set out to compare and contrast the scientific understanding of the human mind with the teachings of the Bible and his findings are documented in his new book The Human Mind: A Psychological View of Theological concepts. According to Eric, In some cases, the two perspectives are very similar, and I think personally that the more we investigate this the more we discover that science tends to confirm scripture rather than contradict it.
Dr. Eric Joseph Kolb – In the bible it says guard your heart for everything you do flows through it. Guard your mind for everything you think comes to be and that’s exactly what we find in science. Here I have a glass and I’m going to pick up this glass. My hand does that but how do I pick up a glass? I just think. I don’t activate the motor cortex. I don’t judge how many electrons need to fire or how many muscle cells need to be activated; the mind just does that. So we know that it’s our mind that controls our body but we don’t know how. They say that comes from the consciousness but the consciousness is not material. The brain is material. but science tells us that something immaterial cannot activate something material, except for the brain. It happens there and we don’t know why or how. What is consciousness? Are we just atoms? A lot of people would like to think so but even the people that are strictly materialists, there is only the body. The mind, the consciousness, the soul none of that exists there is only the body and that’s all we are…but no-one lives that way. Even if they don’t believe in God or spirits or anything above that. If they’re strictly atheist they still don’t behave as if they were because there is something more we just can’t put a finger on.
I’ve said it before. There is a lot going on out there and every time we think we have the answers we are faced with more questions. The best advice I can give is to keep your mind open and question everything. The answers will present themselves and more times than not we find that we are arguing about different versions of the same result.
Dr. Eric Joseph Kolb – Both science and the bible are agreeing on the same thing. We are born to believe. I always say faith is blind but it doesn’t have to be ignorant. I mean some people can just read the bible and that’s it. That’s the truth. That’s all I want to know and all I believe to know and stop there. o.k. good. I like to read the bible. I’ve also read the Koran. I’ve read agnostic books and the more I know the more I understand the more it strengthens my beliefs.
He say’s both Christian Theology and scientific psychology agree that our beliefs are how we perceive reality and that we choose what we want to believe. That being said, our core beliefs serve as the foundation on which our mind develops and in his book he outlines the various developmental processes of the human mind. Beginning with what he calls the blank slate.
Dr. Eric Joseph Kolb – When we are born we’re kind of like a new iPhone out of the box. It’s got everything in there that needs to work but I haven’t programmed anything into it yet. It used to be that we would think any child can be anything at any time and as a behaviorist I work with children to mold their behavior and teach them and make them reach their potential, whatever that is. Without knowing what that is and there other people who say don’t even bother because it’s all in the DNA. I’m actually a perfect example that my father was a professional football player, American football player and I did sports like crazy. I have been training for the the olympics since I was six years old and well on my way to becoming a professional athlete but the DNA said nope, not gonna happen. You have Muscular Dystrophy. So all that training wasn’t going to make me an athlete but that’s where I learned how to work hard. That’s where I learned how to just set a goal and do it and that’s what made me be able to continue living with Muscular Dystrophy and say o.k. If I can’t work out my body I’m going to work out my brain and achieve all I can with that and make that as strong as possible.
So is our destiny preordained or is it influenced by our surroundings. I guess it depends on whether or not you believe the soul lives on outside the body or not. What is consciousness? It’s a lot to think about and in his book Eric doesn’t claim to have all the answers but he does his best to give you as many facts as he can to support the argument that we are all saying the same thing so it’s not all one thing or another it’s actually a combination of both.
Dr. Eric Joseph Kolb – I’m not writing this to bring people to God. It’s more about opening a discussion to say this is what we have in science. This is what we have in the bible. Look, people, it’s not that much different. Look at it, weigh out the facts and make your decision because belief is a choice. We choose to believe what we want to and then find the evidence to support that belief. That goes for me as well but I’m aware of that. I point it out the whole time and say, here are the studies where I get this information. look at them. Go to the data yourself and see what you think.
We’ve given you quite a lot of information in this show today but I want to leave you with this quote from his book. He says “…people have opinions about everything; some are strong and important, others are less important, but everything anyone believes about anything and in any way will influence how they perceive the world” It’s hard to argue with that.
Was it your destiny to click on this episode or just your curiosity of what was beyond the title. I don’t know but if we’ve fanned those flames of curiosity then have a look at the book The Human Mind: A Psychological View of Theological Concepts by Dr. Eric Joseph Kolb. You can download a free sample of the book from Academia.edu or just go to his website to learn all about him and his work. It’s EricJKolb.com There are links to those sites as well as many others in the show’s description. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.
I would also encourage you to check out the video with JT Crowley on the Talking Books show which you can find at Webtalkradio.com or the Books on air podcast with Suzanne Harris.

The author’s goal for the books is to to help boys and young men making touch decisions, while not being overwhelmed by expectations, both of themselves and of others. These books also seek to deal with fears and remove fear of the unknown. Confronting fears is a lifelong skill acquired over many years. The author’s hope if that this trilogy will give you a head start.
NIPPER, Book 1. Summary: It is curious how experience molds our actions, reactions, and expectations of what is to come. This first volume in the trilogy gives an account of how George, the main character, grows up in the safety of a Spartan, but loving home and the freedoms afforded so easily to those who have so little. Part of that growing up is the introduction into the life equation of encounters with girls younger and older. This is the story of how one boy’s opinion was turned, obstacles overcome, and a young man’s expectations were both raised and confounded in equal measure.
MOOSE CONQUERING FEAR, Book 2. Summary: For George, confronting fears was a lifelong skill acquired over many years: taking the knocks, making ill-judged decisions, and not learning from past errors, all served to muddy the waters. Making the harder calls on personal and career transitions seemed to open up a chasm of doubt in his mind, but with the right support and a leap of faith in his own abilities, the challenges that lay ahead of him became as alluring as a late spring sunset after a rain-soaked day. Transitioning life stages is never easy. Fear of failure in your first job and/or first marriage lead to decisions for better or for worse. George took them all.
KNOW YOUR MIND, Book 3. Summary:The third and final part of the trilogy moves on from growing pains in teenage years and confronting fears to exploring the extraordinary relationship between the mind and the body which can help overcome those same pains and fears, culminating in a new philosophical perspective. There was no eureka moment, but a succession of scenarios experienced – some with direct physical impacts, others with more subtle and humorous implications for our mental capacity – that opened a door into another silent reality, where the five senses are muted to allow for a sixth to be awakened.
What began as a collection of thoughts amassed from strangely inexplicable recurrences, evolved through research into wider possibilities of the power of the mind and resulted in our protagonist, George, being astonished by the predictability he found and the calm that these experiences instilled in him.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Recently I’ve been worried about Dementia. Why? Well, I’m not as young as I used to be and sometimes I forget where I left my phone or what I was about to say so I did a bit of research and found out that those things are pretty normal and they are nothing at all to worry about. As you may have guessed I’m also a hypochondriac and people have referred to as demented but that is also something completely different.
I found a great example of the difference between normal aging and someone with dementia on the website dementia.org. They said normal forgetfulness is walking into the kitchen and forgetting what you went in there for, or misplacing the car keys. A person with dementia however, may lose the car keys and then forget what they are used for. So far that has not happened to me. Wait, what was I saying….just kidding. Gotta have a sense of humor today because the topic can be pretty heavy.
The truth is forgetting things from time to time is normal. If we didn’t have that ability we’d probably go insane.
One more fact for you. Dementia is not a disease, it’s a general term for people with the kind of impaired ability to think, or make decisions that actually interferes with their everyday activities. The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. There are others but that’s about all I’m qualified to give you and when you are diagnosed with that kind of disease you’re going to need some help and hopefully it will be from a person as caring as Pieta Valentine, Physiotherapist
Pieta Valentine – I had a Physiotherapy practice for twenty-five years so mental stress was always a very interesting aspect but after forty years as a Physiotherapist I thought, you know it’s good to do something new and I just sort of fell upon this dementia work which I really enjoyed and from a Physiotherapist perspective there’s always the interest of rehabilitating the patient but if not that at least enabling them to manage to the best of their abilities.
and so began her work with Dementia patients
Pieta Valentine – When I saw all these people shut down and shut off I thought surely, surely something can be done and so from there just, you know I quietly I worked away on this work and all of which is explained in the book.
The book is called The Residents’ Voice From a Dementia Unit and in it she not only introduces us to several of the patients but she gives us a look at the day-to-day life in a dementia unit something that is really interesting to learn about if you find yourself in need of these kinds of services.
Pieta Valentine – That’s why I’ve written the book actually. I’ve explained everything about the rotating of a dementia unit; all the staff and what they do, how you recognize them, the security codes, who to set up the room, how to fill out the forms. There’s an enormous amount to do if someone goes into a dementia unit and if you can know a lot of that information in advance it won’t be such a shock to the system for the relative and if the relative is set up they’ll be able to help the person going in more likely.
Forewarned is forearmed. Knowing what to expect in this type of situation can be a huge help since most of us have no idea what to expect. We hope we never have to learn about it, at least not first hand. There is also another extremely useful bit of information in the book and it’s the essence of the whole thing.
Pieta Valentine – These people still have a working intellect even though their memory is faded or gone, finished.
That is the thing I found most interesting. Aside from meeting some of the patients knowing that while they have lost their memories or whatever they are still people and her findings are documented in a report which is also in the book.
Pieta Valentine – So that was built from the fact when I started to realize that these people could still actually think and you could encourage that from a physiotherapy perspective I was encouraging them and motivating them to concentrate just as I would in my physiotherapy practice I would encourage patients to concentrate on the exercises and do their exercises. I was encouraging these people to think, contribute and communicate and expecting them to and saying that they actually had too. If they were in the group there was that expectation that they had to start communicating this took a long time the concentrating took a lot of time to build up that’s the hardest thing but once people with dementia had learned the technique to be able to concentrate, reading being a very big part of this by the way then you can actually build up the skills of confidence and communication from that.
Readers are leaders. Isn’t that what they always say? I don’t think Harry Truman was talking about dementia patients when he said “Not all readers become leaders, but all leaders must be readers” but it’s important at all stages of life to do things that keep your mind active. Reading is an excellent option for doing that. It’s one of these reasons for doing this podcast….anyway the bottom line is.
Pieta Valentine – So much can be done in a positive practical way to help.
How’s that for a one liner? The challenges of memory and direction orientation loss affect everyone from the patient to their families and the caregivers. They all need help. Knowing that Dementia patients have a working intellect that can be engaged and activated is huge. With the right kind of care they can learn to activate that intellect and live a better life.
The existence of the intellect is not new but how it can be activated with people with dementia is the revelation in her book.
Pieta Valentine – I’ve actually written two books one right after the other but the first half of The Residents Voice is a novel about the characters in the dementia unit based on my observations and experiences over many years but it goes through the story of them being able to build up their thinking capacity. Build up their concentration, their communication skills and finally developing their own community. The central four or five pages is the report on the academic work and then the last half is all the physiotherapy techniques that family and friends can do to help their loved ones with dementia in a very practical positive way.
Her books are The Residents Voice From a Dementia Unit and The Residents Rise From a Dementia Unit and if you or someone you know is affected by dementia they offer a nice perspective on not only what life is like in the unit but it gives you a strategy and some good advice on what to do.
They are available in tons of places online just google The Residents Voice and you’ll see them. We’ve added links to some of the big sites like Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and xlibris.com to the show’s description. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com

In today’s session, we are talking with Yuka Nakasone, a strategic globalization expert. We discuss what happens when we begin to believe that we are actually worth more than we thought. Yuka shares examples of how her upbringing as a girl in Japan had held her in check until she began realizing her own power, intelligence and skills. The result is that now she works far less frantically and makes far more than she did even a few years ago.

Every child is a special delivery with unique characteristics. As they grow, they begin to blossom – unfold – and reveal who they are: outgoing or reserved, bold or cautious, artistic or analytic. At some point we tend to pull back – fold in again. We find it is safer that way. We shield ourselves and often become more self-conscious. To some extent that is appropriate. But many of us fold in or recoil too far. When we do that, it can inhibit our ability to fully engage with others – and in life in general. How can we bring back that exuberance and feel the joy of expressing our true selves? Let’s call on the source – our inner child! In this episode we talk about how to reconnect with our inner child, hear their secrets and, as a result, animate our hearts.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Teacher and author of her newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us that our challenges at the present time are not economic political or societal but often a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Athena Bahri RMT a Reiki Master Teacher author of Raise Your Vibes energy healer and a messenger and light worker for Spirit. Athena is part of a Hollywood Dynasty niece of Rita Hayward cousin of Ginger Rogers and Donna Reed who all succeeded in their lives and careers and were “perhaps?” aware of Universal Energy “The Law of Attraction” and their Higher Self which made success a certain reality for them.
As listeners have come to expect over the years Sheryl and her guests share intimate and insightful stories and ideas of Universal source, the creative force of All life and an understanding of the duality of physical and spiritual essence so we may self-investigate and discover more about who we are and what life is really all about. We come to know life is not random and we are constantly transforming and changing whether we want to or not, and many discover that life survives physical death so we are indeed spiritual beings having a physical life and not the other way around.
In today’s episode of Healing From within Athena Bahri will share quick and easy ways of improving your life and show us that we each have our own energy vibration and when vibes are low we may experience physical illness as well as negative feelings such as anxiety anger sadness and loneliness but we can shift negative emotions into the positive as we each have the personal power to raise our vibration to manifest healthy happy and safe lives. Athena discusses her interesting work in Hollywood and leaving a life of glamour to create a life of peace and energy healing as many in business medicine and the arts often do when they begin to remember who they really are and what life is really about.
When Athena is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to her or others around her the interests and lifestyle she might pursue as an adult she never doubted that she would be a force for vitality and joy as she was surrounded by the most successful and creative people in Hollywood whose energy was vibrant and shared imagination and magic with her and their public.
Athena may have been guided to study Reiki an alternative healing method and an ancient energy based practice that channels higher Universal Energy through a person attuned by a Master Reiki Teacher that helps to relax and allow an intelligent divine energy to support the physical emotional and spiritual healing of a person who has been unable to correct the problem with western traditional medicine or surgery. Athena suffered a back injury and looked for many ways to help her deal with the pain and dysfunction. Eventually she was guided to study and use Reiki in her return to good health.
Reiki energy or Universal Energy is all around us at all times and is our connection to the creative force of life and each other. Reiki is an energy healing art or modality originating from Japan but a spiritual healing technique found by other names in every country in the world. Love is its highest frequency.
The Five Reiki Principles offer a path and life style that stimulates rightful thinking and action and creates an environment that is conducive for a healthy and purposeful life style
Just for today I will not worry.
Just for today I will now be angry.
Just for today I will do my work honestly.
Just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings
Just for today I will be kind to myself my neighbor and every living thing.
So as Athena and Sheryl as practicing Reiki Master Teachers have found Reiki like all spiritual practices guide one to live in a conscious loving and sharing way as we embrace the Oneness of all life and trust the Universal Plan that is personally and collectively changing as humanity evolves to a higher vibration and frequency of living with greater compassion and love for life in its unique and eternal essence.
Reiki like many alternative healing methods massage chiropractic cranio -sacral therapy acupuncture yoga polarity and chakra healing are all becoming more main stream?
More people are becoming aware of their own empathic abilities and the importance of understanding how energy plays a part in every aspect of our lives from the atoms that make up our physical bodies to the emotional mental and spiritual states. Every word and action is an energy transmission and how we feel and think directly affects not only ourselves but everyone around us. By healing and raising the frequency of our own vibration, we have the chance to create a more loving environment. It is necessary to understand how the term vibration is used. Vibration is the transfer and movement of energy. We can see it when a pebble is tossed into a body of water which ripples out into the water. We can feel it when we stand near a speaker playing loud music. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is simply moved from one space to another and can of course as Einstein announced Never destroyed. Our own physical emotional and spiritual bodies also have their own unique vibrations. When our vibes are low, our mood is negative, our emotional state anxious angry or sad, our physical bodies suffer from illness, and we feel disconnected and alone. But we do not have to stay in this state of low energy. We have the power to raise our vibration to one of love and vibrancy but of course that takes awareness discipline and effort and is a choice.
Athena and Sheryl share their thoughts on Eastern alternative energy healing and traditional or Western allopathic medicine.
Athena writes, My experience has shown me that energy healing is just as important a part of self- care as conventional medicine. By raising your vibration, energy healing fills in the gaps of modern medicine. It is gentle but the shift is profound—it will alter both your mindset and the internal workings of your body enabling you to enjoy a much happier and healthier quality of life. However, an understanding of spiritual health is typically not taught to us in the modern age. Instead, we are often raised to depend on others for our health. Our society as a whole has lost sight to call upon we relied heavily on diet worship and sacred tools to cure ourselves. If we go back to the days of ancient peoples of the world many spiritual practices were uses including herbs, crystals, different forms of smudging prayer and as you can see I believe of our incredible innate ability to heal ourselves. Not too long ago when there were no physicians we need a full spectrum of healing practices for our wellbeing. Of course it’s important to note that modern medicine also has immense value. Only after doing research and exploring alternative methods did I grasp that there is much more to healing than just treating physical symptoms—that true healing takes place on all the levels of body mind spirit.
Sheryl says In regard to those thoughts of Eastern alternative healing modalities and western allopathic medicine in my new book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening she addressed the growing epidemic of Cancer and new thoughts on methods to deal more effectively to assist the mind body and spirit to heal and Sheryl wrote, “My sister Rodelle became ill with pancreatic cancer and chose to have chemotherapy………. Over the year and a half of treatments, her will to live and her spirit to trust never wavered. As a volunteer for hospice, I observed many people pass from pancreatic cancer, so I knew the pain was excruciating. So, each night, I sent Reiki energy and prayers to Rodelle, asking that she have the least amount of pain possible. Over the course of her many treatments, I always asked her if she had much pain, and she always responded, “No.” Rodelle’s love of life was supported by her many friends and family, her work, her enthusiasm for fashion, and her interest in exploring this beautiful world by travelling to many exotic tropical locations and historical places. These interests and passions worked to sustain her through the many setbacks and complications of the treatment plan she had opted for.”
As a holistic practitioner, Sheryl had wanted her to try alternative treatments such as Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, hyperthermia that kills cancer cells but does not weaken the immune system, and other energy-healing methods. Of course, Sheryl is aware that approximately 98 percent of people with a diagnosis of metastasized cancer do not survive with chemotherapy or perhaps with any other treatments. Sheryl knows there was little that the system or the protocols of The American Medical Association could do other than follow their formula for treatment, but believes after 40 years of chemotherapy producing ultimately the same results and loss of life for a good number of patients, patients should be offered ALL options available, not only those approved by the FDA.
Improvements and advanced knowledge by the doctors should be offered, and patients should be told of all complications surrounding different treatments so they can eventually make a personal decision for how to face their challenge and ultimate ending.
A person who is diagnosed with cancer is initially filled with fear and dread and will usually follow the first plan of treatment offered. It seems prudent to Sheryl to receive at least two to three opinions before embarking on any treatment plan, and we should incorporate a host of modalities and treatments to assist anyone dealing with a serious or terminal illness.
Sheryl writes of many other treatment plans such as “Wait and See” before using the last resort chemotherapy. In some cases the body is able to heal itself with changes in diet lifestyle and spiritual awareness and practices as well as making job or relationship changes which may be so stressful that they may actually have created the cancer.

Athena and Sheryl discuss how they and other practitioners perform a Reiki healing on people far away or “Distant Healing” as it is called and give us examples of such a healing event.
In the first attunement to Reiki known as Reiki I the student is aligned or attuned to three symbols which help them channel Universal energy but are not yet taught how to use these and more advanced symbols. The student continues to practice Reiki self healing sessions on themselves clearing and refining their own health and a deeper connection to the energy they have embraced.
In Reiki 11 training the student receives a second attunement and new symbols are passed to the student allowing that individual to work on others at a deeper level and to send Reiki energy to other people situations places and animals remotely without limitation of space and time in a practice known as Distant Healing Reiki. This is regarded as the practitioner level by most Reiki masters in the West.
Sheryl tells of one of her first Distant Healing sessions. On New Years Eve many years ago, Sheryl received a call from her son who told her that his wife’s cousin only 19 had a brain bleed and the family was desperate as the outcome seemed dire. My son said, “Mom I don’t exactly know what you do but if you could help that would be great.” Being a new practitioner myself I wasn’t exactly sure how it worked but I invoked the Distant Healing symbol and began to connect to the energy of the young woman and her family. There was such pain and fear that she wouldn’t survive that Sheryl began to cry but continued to sent healing symbols and hopeful intentions for her survival requesting that she live a full healthy life but, whatever her soul needed to do as a result of this event must be allowed, accepted and surrendered to. Sheryl must have spent over an hour in mediation and then for days to follow. The young woman miraculously survived and needed months of rehab but made a full recovery. Sheryl realized that there is no time and space but all energy can be anywhere that the mind intends it to be and time and space is merely a concept of a three- dimensional physical world. Energy can be everywhere independently of the body or mind. Sheryl has continued to use Distant Healing over the years to prepare clients visits to doctor’s offices, hospitals, large events and people in need to help further the best outcome for the person. During Covid after having the disease herself and knowing its ability to go to all parts of the body affecting certain areas more intensely if there was a weakness there, and after recovering Sheryl was able to send Distant Healing to many people near and far and helped many weather serious challenges.
Athena tells us crystals play a significant role in her own Reiki practice as combining Reiki with crystal helps to focus and strengthen healing energies. To assist your self -attunement, she recommends using a piece of clear quartz crystal. “Clear quartz” is considered the master healing crystal and its ability to help amplify energy is unmatched. Simply hold the crystal or place it near you to intensify your body’s openness and allow the bio-electric energy field to harmonize with the Reiki energy you are intending to connect with. Reiki energy flows from above through the crown chakra whereas crystals bring in the grounding energy from the Earth so together they form a natural and seamless circuit. Clear quart should always be cleansed when you first begin to use it. You want to make sure it is amplifying your intention and energy not that of others it has come in contact with.
Athena might tell us that “Selenite” is unique in that it is both self- cleansing and clears the energy attachments of other crystals. Simply place the two stones together in a bowl overnight to cleanse the other crystal.
Athena tells us her desire and need for writing a book and her inspiration for Raise Your Vibes Athena tells us her mission is to make the healing power or Reiki and energy healing accessible to all. She has developed an approach that combines simple Reiki techniques with a range of different healing modalities from crystals to lunar rituals. The tools she provides create a vibration raising practice that readers can use in many different situations from dealing with physical pain to ridding themselves of stress and lingering emotional upset to improving the vibes of their surroundings at work and at home. Athena also provides step by step meditation guides.
Athena and Sheryl both might want you to think of “The Violet Flame” as a powerful and protective tool that has been used throughout the ages. The beauty of the Violet Flame incorporates the power of light color and divine connection together with the one of the four elements Fire. Although there is no literal flame involved, the sense of the warmth generated from the energy can be seen as a warm bath or mother’s womb restoring the feeling of safety and security that many have lost on our journey in life. It is a powerful tool that anyone can invoke with some practice and visualization. This beautiful light will help cleanse and seal your aura remove uninvited entities and energy blocks: restore your sense of peace: protect from jealous and hurtful energy vampires: give you confidence in social situations: heal old hurts: cut energetic cords of attachment as well as raise your vibration.
In historical writings the color violet has been associated with the Ascended Masters those spiritual guides of the past who transcend religion, denomination, creed and conviction. The most known Ascended Masters include Jesus Christ, Gautama, Buddha, Quan Yin and the Egyptian goddess Isis.
Sheryl tells of meeting a Reiki Master from England who instructed her to use the Violet Flame. He told her the violet flame is especially associated with the Ascended Master Saint Germaine who was said not to age according to many accounts. Sometimes referred to as Master R he was reputed to be an 18th century alchemist and crystal collector and confidant of the French XV regime.
In modern times, purple remains the color of royalty in England. It features in songs such as “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix and “Purple Rain” by Prince. Purple or violet is one of natures most healing colors and is used in color therapy for soothing mental and emotional stress. It is often found in nurseries to create a calm serene environment.
Athena gives some ways to bring in the Violet Flame which are easy and practical. Sheryl simply recites “Make me a recipient of the Violet or Purple Fire and make me as God desires, Transform Transform Transform.” Then she envisions herself surrounded in the healing purple light- protected and healed at the same time feeling the calm surround her and asks the energy to go to whatever part of her body is in need of extra attention. We thank Athena Bahri RMT author of Raise Your Vibes for sharing your creative loving journey with Reiki healing and many other metaphysical techniques and modalities used to help our mind body and spirt to attune to Universal Source, the laws of nature and the Universe, and help to tap into a true recognition of eternal life which is so much more than physical life, thereby allowing us to know our soul nature and begin to transcend fear and limitation for greater love of Self and the miraculous gift of life.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing from Within Athena and Sheryl have shown you the joy and fulfillment they have found as Reiki Master Teachers and universal citizens of a multi-dimensional universe filled with love and compassion, hope and joy, and the Reiki path to find a bit of this magic as you begin to be aware of the coincidences that really are messages from Spirit helping us to put the puzzle of life together, realizing we have the power within to create and manifest through our thoughts and actions the life we are living.. By changing thoughts and behaviors, we change our reality and can improve ourselves, our communities, and really begin to Manifest a miraculous life journey. Athena in a very organized factual creative practical guide to Reiki self- healing and the many tools to be explored to help that process such as crystals meditation mudras smudging sound healing the Violet Flame shows us how to conquer fear and other negative emotions as we gain greater self -love confidence and joy in our daily experiences.
Athena writes, “We are all divine beings blessed with our individual talents and traits. Many of us tend to forget this for a number of reasons such as having other people’s pain projected onto us: unhealthy relationships, childhood traumas, or the constant comparing of ourselves to others. Whatever the reason know that you are deserving of love—and that must start with loving yourself. Showing ourselves some love is a beautiful way to lift ourselves up, raise our vibes and start attracting those who will also show us love.’
Athena and Sheryl help you find the path to feeling the beauty of Universal Energy all around you calling you to take a step towards refining your own energy and finding the peace and happiness that is the divine birth right of every human soul being.

As a business owner for over two decades, I have often had a love/hate relationship with my business. At times it felt like it took over my life. Other times I was able to build a life with the support of my business.
What has been the common denominator of which side of the love/hate relationship I fell into?
The answer is simple. I was the common denominator! The clarity of my goals, the focus of my daily efforts, my mindset, and so many other factors have impacted the results in both my personal and business life.
So how do we determine the correct next steps to create a life, business, or career we love?

Sometimes I feel like I am running through my day trying to deliver everything I have promised to others or feel the pressure of people needing things from me, which I interpret as they need it now. But do they need it now, or is my inner mind saying overdeliver?
So as I reflect on today’s quote, I am beginning to realize that perhaps I am creating the chaos I feel on those frantic days.
Hum, there is something to this, and I am excited for my guest today, T.S. Thomas.
T.S. and I discuss how she is helping people to live calmly ever after by showing them how to balance out their dangerously compassionate nature.
T.S. promotes the importance of self-preservation. She just launched her personal development book, The Sensitive Stone: A Transformational journey to discovering your inner rock, which landed on the #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller’s list.
This includes #1 International Best Seller in four categories: Motivational Self-Help, #1 in Depression, and #2 in Psychological Pathologies. Her non-fiction content is geared towards helping those with a dangerously compassionate nature, such as those who go over and beyond their mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, and financial capacity for others so much that they lose themselves in the process.

The Author
Peggy Jaeger is an American author from the beautiful state of New Hampshire. She’s a contemporary writer who mainly writes Romantic comedies about strong women, the families who support them, and the men who can’t live without them. If she can make you cry in one instance and laugh yourself silly in another, then for Peggy she has accomplished what she set out to do.
Family, friends and good food are at the heart of Peggy’s writing. For her, these three essential ingredients to life are the glue that keeps everything together both in her own life and in her books. All her characters have their own unique characteristics; some have humour while others have a more sinister side to them, but they’ve all got romantic aspirations underpinning they’re existence to bring tense, riveting and imaginative stories that engage with you. The storylines all stem from various topics she has observed in life, death, sibling rivalry, Illness and the need to find true meaningful love.
Growing up as an only child to divorced parents, the characters and the storylines in her books very often reflect the life she would have liked herself, with siblings to love, cherish and spar with.
Romantic suspense and paranormal romance are two genres Peggy has recently ventured into and to say she’s had a ball creating witches, psychics and all things that go bump in the night is a serious understatement. Peggy’s have a blast here everyone.
When Peggy’s not writing she can be found painting, crafting, scrapbooking or decoupaging old steamer trunks she’s bought while rummaging around old stores and garages.
As a lifelong diarist, Peggy admits she caught the blogging bug early. You can visit her at peggyjaegar.com where she blogs daily about life, writing and stuff that makes her go What!!!

It’s Witch O’ Clock Somewhere
This is the third book in the Romantic Haunting Series
Twenty years ago, Barstone bad-boy Declan Wolffe, rode out of town on his motorcycle leaving the town that looked down on him and his dysfunctional family, an alcoholic father and a disturbed mother. His behavioural issues, when you look back, were really cries for help, help that never materialised. The last person he saw in his rear-view mirror was Gigi Gordon the only girl he ever loved.
His return has stoked up memories for the town folk and some of those memories are not favourable, to say the least. Rich, successful, and determined to change the town’s outlook leaves him open to salacious gossip, but what is the real reason for coming back? Is it for the girl, or the glory.
Gigi Gordon is successful in her own right as an accomplished real estate agent running her own business, but who is she really? What about her family background as a tenth-generation witch? Only those closest to her know and understand who she really is. Declan’s return in many ways disrupts her life, the boy who left her heartbroken is back to shake and stir things up. Declan may have plans, but Gigi has plans of her own. The biggest is that of protecting her heart from him.
But what of the witchcraft methods she adopts?
The creative style adopted by Peggy to create this book is breathtaking.
The Sheriff and the Psychic
The first book in the Renewal Series
Police Psychic Silvestra Coeltrain comes to Renewal a rural community town in Oklahoma to visit Jake and Mabel Adams and to rest and heal from a dramatic year that has left her physically, mentally and emotionally scarred. No sooner has she arrived when her psychic visions rekindle themselves. The visions reveal the deaths of some of the local rancher’s animals. These mysterious deaths are disturbing for the local community.Who and why is behind these killings? Something Caleb Blackbear, the sheriff with part native American Apache blood in his veins, needs to get to the bottom of.
Sheriff Caleb gets himself emotionally involved with this police psychic from New York, which gets both him and Silvestra into unchartered dangerous waters. Getting romantically involved with Silvestra leaves him exposed to unforeseen happenings. For Caleb, Silvestra is an unknown source filled with mysticism and intrigue, but he allows his suspicions to be dictated by his feelings. Not a good plan for it will only lead to heartache. The deaths of local livestock mount up and with each incident occurring the pressure intensifies on Caleb to restore order to the now fractious community. Questions are asked how Caleb knows in advance of these mysterious killings. The answer of course lies with the police physic Silvestra who has received visions of these deaths.
The murder of a prominent rancher’s daughter, Cal’s former lover, complicates matters, and the ensuing outcome leaves Caleb fatally wounded, plus puts Silvestra’s life in danger. However, Silvestra isn’t exactly of such a delicate disposition, which Caleb first imagined. Far from in fact. She’s stood up to far worst in the past, particularly when it comes to high-profile cases she’s been involved with. Fame and tragedy are part of her life, her psychic powers are both a gift and a burden, so much so, she fears falling in love with anybody particularly Caleb. Love for Silvestra is always connected with unbearable pain and loss.
This is a very powerful book imaginatively told.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
I’ve always been a big fan of The Doors and I really wish we had a budget to play the song Break On Through for you but we do not. Do you know it? It came out in 1967 and it’s still in regular rotation if you listen to Classic rock radio stations. The song is about breaking through barriers. The Doors were big on opening your mind to new ways of thinking and perceiving the universe we live in. Today we are going to join them and Aldous Huxley by opening the Doors of Perception but we won’t be using any Psychedelics. We’re going to use Yoga.
Alan Oliver – Yoga is all about having the mind stop and having those sensory things come to a halt so that what you’re left with is the fundamental consciousness.
Did you get that? Alan Oliver is the author of Thinking on the other side of Zero Part 1, An Intuitive Philosophy of Mind, Memory and Reality. He is also healer and he says mind or consciousness exists beyond our body. In fact he says it exists beyond our lifetime and the best way to get in touch with fundamental consciousness is quieting the mind.
Alan Oliver – In yoga they said there are two ways to get into that state and one is with meditation and teaching with a teacher and the other way is to have been born that way.
Alan is one of those people who were born that way but for the rest of us we most likely need an instructor to help us understand how to turn off that inner chatter in our mind and understand what is Zero and what is on the other side of zero?
Alan Oliver – The physical body is on this side of Zero. The other side of Zero is fundamental consciousness and you can access that after a lot of meditation and quietness and hopefully with an accredited teacher.
Alan was motivated to understand why he was different from his family who thought his abilities were strange.
Alan Oliver – Tells the story of healing a woman’s fractured leg.
His journey is detailed in his book where he tells a number of stories and makes a very interesting point. There will always be answers to your questions if you let the questions provide the answers. Did you need me to say that again? There will always be answers to your questions if you let the questions provide the answers.
Alan Oliver – Because our consciousness that we experience is outside of the body it’s all the same consciousness and that level of consciousness is part of who we are. It’s just that we don’t access it very much because we’ve been brought up to be individual people and that starts from even before you’re born.
Yep you hear him right. Consciousness begins before you are born. I know that is some pretty deep stuff but one thing I’ve learned is that there is a lot going on out there and just when you think you know how it all works you find out that maybe you don’t know so much after all. So if I have this right, you are an individual. The individual is local, earthbound living in the moment, listening to this podcast, but that is separate from your fundamental consciousness which exists beyond the physical.
Alan Oliver – At conception the embryo is part of the mothers body because it is connected to her blood supply and that takes the excrement from the embryo as well and just manages it in the mothers body and you don’t start to become an individual until the umbilical cord is cut and from that point you’re given a name, your part of a family and you gradually learn to become the individual and because of that, that separates us, as I explain with the yoga diagram, it separates us to that individual and our senses reinforce that individuality. And so yoga is about having the mind stop and having those sensory things come to a halt so what you’re left with is the fundamental consciousness.
Until now I have never taken a Yoga class, mostly because my body is too stiff to sit on the floor but I also just learned that you can perform Yoga poses standing or sitting. You can also do them with or without shoes. Whatever makes you comfortable so you can get in touch with your fundamental consciousness.
I mentioned earlier that Alan has a number of stories to share and while he is quick to point out that he doesn’t know exactly what is happening the reality is something is definitely happening. Listen as he talks about his first healing experience.
Alan Oliver (Cat) Alan tells the story of healing a cat.
He had a bit of coffee to shake off the event and he left but that started a series of healing events and a journey of discovery that he outlines in his book Thinking on the other side of Zero Part 1, An Intuitive Philosophy of Mind, Memory and Reality.

When the author joined Scouts at age twelve, who could have imagined that it would lead to a commitment of more than forty years?
This inspirational memoir contains stories and anecdotes. The old-time photographs (taken long before iPhones) are particularly interesting and will certainly bring smiles to the faces of readers. They also provide a glimpse into and a record of local history. The author’s love of adventure, of Australia, and of scouting is tangible in this heartfelt book. The author has been a powerful influence through his support of community with his special emphasis on youth work.
Along with his personal letters and memories, the book describes the beautiful and often rugged countryside of Australia. Chapters include tales of camping, awards received, and his fond recollections of rallies and balls. Known for both his impressive achievements as well as his immensely kind demeanor, Graeme Legge is a clear legend in the world of scouting. The author’s hope is that this inspirational book will spur future generations to get involved with scouting in Australia and elsewhere.

In this episode, the Crone & Sage go down another rabbit hole to discuss the concept of Change as part of one of the beliefs of The Path Tradition. Now that we have introduced all 32 cards of the Witchstone Oracle Deck, we start talking about the various series within the deck beginning with the Concrete Stones and the first group of 4, the Cardinal Directions. Finally, this episode’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint focuses on the idea of knowing where the Moon Phase is at a Glance and how this can affect one’s Sacred Three of Body, Mind, and Spirit as well as making plans for magick or ritual.
The emphasis and benefits of mindful eating are to decrease; emotional eating, eating out of stress, eating out of depression, and eating out of excitement. Mindful eating also helps us slow down and reduce the food we take. Because we are taking our time, we appreciate each bite. As a result of mindful eating, we decrease the chances of overeating. We feel full without overindulging. With mindful eating, we reduce the effects of overheating, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, difficulties with mobility, and other complications or conditions associated with overeating. I will guide you through a mindfulness eating activity during our time together. Get ready to be curious and to be challenged. Bon appétit, mindfully!

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of my newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares messages and stories from Spirit that show us our challenges are not economic political or societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul inner wisdom. I am delighted today to welcome Kerri Hummingbird author of Love is Fierce: Healing the Mother Wound which shows us the state of our world now has been touched by the suffering of women many whom have developed victim mentalities which result in their being unable to love fully, often neglecting loved ones and even competing with their children for control and attention.
As most listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate and insightful stories of awakening, transformation and an understanding of soul life and its effects on our physical life journey and challenges. It seems, as we begin to remember that we are spiritual beings having a physical life in order to refine our energy and emotions and improve health, find prosperity, happiness and purposefulness we discover we actually have the personal power to create and manifest our best lives.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within, Kerri Hummingbird guides women to courageously reclaim their power, wisdom and voice by healing the Mother Wound so they can help mend the sacred hoop of humanity. Women throughout the ages due to the patriarchal, religious systems, have often been seen as second class citizens and remain so in some undeveloped cultures still existing in this world. It will be in recognizing the equality of all human beings as sensitive souls with divine potential and not separating or segregating anyone due to gender, religion, race, class or disability, that we will improve ourselves and the world as it was always meant to be by the universal creative source, will resonate with true love and compassion for all. There will be no division politically, religiously, socially, we will appreciate people as they are. Kerri has an intuitive, introspective soul, when asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person, place or event that may have signaled to her or others the interests work lifestyle they might pursue as adults. Kerri tells us of her difficult journey as a young child with an abusive father and a mother who, to protect her, left the marriage and married who she thought would provide a safe environment for her daughter, and that turned out not to be the case. She says that what she most admires about her mother is her tenacious pursuit of an authentic life for herself and to love her daughter. She in her third marriage, landed the most genuine, caring, and supportive partner with her third husband: the man I call my Dad. For 45 years they enjoyed what many people observed was a rare soulmate connection; the kind of love relationship people dream about receiving. Most people don’t realize that a love like that has a price to pay upfront. Or at least, it did in our world. And those early bumps in my mother’s journey to love cost her, and me, dearly.
My mother did not look the other way in any circumstances that regarded me. She fought for me and to heal her own traumas from being a woman caught within a system that still favors men, legally, financially, and socially.
“Fierce love” is what I received as a child from my mother. Yet the trauma planted in my brain from those early years formed a foundation that has woven itself into the very fabric of my life, up until now. My brain was hardwired for a perception of life that created suffering in my relationship with myself, my mother, friends, and every partner. That perceptual hardwiring has created content to fill thousands of hours of psychotherapy sessions, and exhausted my life savings to heal myself through retreats, plant medicine, coaches, alternative healing certifications, and so on.
Kerri tells us she loves her mother deeply for her sacrifices every step along the way. Kerri knows her mother persevered where many women have looked the other way and drowned in guilt and shame. Kerri’s mother is a powerful force to be reckoned with, a role model of a woman going after what she wants for herself. Beyond her dedication to finding the right partner, she persisted until she received her Masters’ degree in Early Childhood Education in mid-life and never passed up an opportunity to email her government representatives her perspective on issues of the day.
Kerri tells us what inspired her to write Love is Fierce: Healing the Mother Wound. The healing message of Love is Fierce: Healing the Mother Wound is urgently needed today. For sure, we are the walking wounded. Without transforming the Mother Wound, which almost all women experience, into Mother Wisdom, humanity will sink deeper into despair and possibly extinction. Hummingbird-Sami is direct and powerful. She walks us through the narrative of her healing and awakening. Spanning the spectrum from traditional psychology, spiritual psychology to shamanic transformation, she enables us to understand the path to greater consciousness, connection, and sustainable love.
Having outgrown shame, she weaves us through her childhood abuse, teenage sexual acting out, young adult grasping and greediness, birthing two sons, divorce, and the traumatic separation from her mother to the liberation of her soul into spiritual adulthood. Her life story is relatable. We can all identify with the struggles of growing up in a materialistic culture devoid of true universal love. We all yearn for the perfect mother that makes us feel safe and whole. The vacancy created by the lack of feminine wisdom sets the stage for her soul’s journey. Without immersion in the Great Mother, how can any physical mother be a true and trusted guide or any child emerge as the divine’s full, unique expression? Remember?
Her main message is this: Wake up to your relationship to the Great Goddess, Mother Earth, and the infinite feminine wisdom. The Great Mother Wound results from thousands of years of taking the masculine to a toxic extreme. Our path to healing is through the feminine, which will bring our lives and our hearts into balance. Hummingbird-Sami expresses the message of our time. The feminine wisdom is rising powerfully now. We need to heal the Mother Wound to align with our higher consciousness and the consciousness of the beautiful Mother that holds us so wisely and dearly. This review of the book was written by Sarah Weiss, MA, Spiritual Teacher, Keeper of the Light, and Medical Intuitive, a former guest of Healing From Within several times.
Kerri tells us when she began to write this book, she was estranged from her mother and part of her family, recovering from the loss of her Dad, and doing her best to support her eldest son in launching into the world. For years before beginning to write this book Kerri had already been learning the lessons and taking the steps to heal the Mother Wound.
She just was not fully aware of the process she was in until she was Spirit-tapped by White Buffalo Calf Woman to channel this book. Kerri said yes and committed, without really knowing what she was signing up for. As she began this book, she hoped that through the healing process she would be able to be connected once again with her mother while maintaining her personal power and respecting both of them, and that she would be a better mother for her sons.
White Buffalo Calf Woman is a sacred woman of supernatural origin, a prophet of feminine power, who brought sacred wisdom and gifts to the Sioux people. In the traditional story, it is said that there was a time of famine where all the Sioux tribes gathered together. The chief of the Lakota sent out two scouts to hunt for food. These men came across what appeared to be a white cloud in the distance, and as it came closer, they saw a beautiful woman in white buckskin. She explained she was a wakáŋ, having supernatural powers, and that if he did as instructed, the Lakota would rise again. He returned to his encampment as instructed, called the Council, and prepared a feast for her arrival. When the holy woman arrived, she had a gift for the people. “Halting before the chief, she now opened the bundle. The holy thing it contained was chanunpa, the sacred pipe. She held it out to the people and let them look at it.”
She taught the Lakota seven sacred ceremonies to protect Mother Earth and gave them the chanupa, the sacred ceremonial pipe. “With this holy pipe,” she said, “you will walk like a living prayer. With your feet resting upon the earth and the pipe stem reaching into the sky, your body forms a living bridge between the Sacred Beneath and the Sacred Above. Wakan Tanka smiles upon us, because now we are as one: earth, sky, all living things, the two-legged, the four-legged, the winged ones, the trees, the grasses. Together with the people, they are all related, one family. The pipe holds them all together.”
Sheryl says “As a Reiki Master Teacher my students and I align to the energy of the living universe and channel that energy to heal ourselves and others and bring an awareness of the Oneness of all things. In all spiritual practices initiates are connected to this concept and way of life. It is different from religion in that it assumes a personal responsibility for personal growth as well as conscious collective responsibility for communities and the earth. The only rule is to accept and surrender to the energy of love, goodness and compassion and know you are a spiritual being of eternal life.
Kerri tells us “Upon finishing this book, my reason for doing it, and sharing it, is first a matter of self-respect. Because I respected myself to do the work in this book, I am able to show up with greater compassion, wisdom, love and kindness. It is vital that you know yourself as strong, wise, and capable. This is especially important for women and mothers now as we enter the Age of Aquarius where the Divine Feminine rises, and we embrace the Divine Mother as a teacher. Strong wise women are the weavers of the web of family and community. When in their rightful place of honor, our families, communities and planet thrive from the benefit of intuition, deep listening, divine connection, and fierce love of wise women. Our wise women support and teach our new mothers how to hold a compassionate loving presence for our children and the words they speak come from wisdom gained through direct experience…not from outside authority but from inner authority.”
Kerri tells us about having Earth amnesia. Kerri was having trouble with the channeling Buffalo Calf Woman who helped her remember the past wisdom of the ancient woman who connected to Universal Energy because she felt unworthy to be delivering this message. And this ancient sacred healer has arisen through the channeling to Keri for now the perfect timing. The women walking the Earth today have not been honored as sacred vessels of Mother Earth. The women walking the Earth today have been subjugated, denigrated, abused, shamed, controlled, and stripped of self-worth; for many, the abuse begins while they are still children. And because women have been stripped of self-worth, humanity has been stripped of self-worth. The healing message of Love is Fierce: Healing the Mother Wound is urgently needed today. For sure, we are the walking wounded.
Without transforming the Mother Wound into Mother Wisdom, humanity will sink deeper into despair and possibly extinction. Hummingbird-Sami is direct and powerful. She walks us through the narrative of her healing and awakening. Spanning the spectrum from traditional psychology, spiritual psychology to shamanic transformation, she enables us to understand the path to greater consciousness, connection, and sustainable love.
Having outgrown shame, she weaves us through her childhood abuse, teenage sexual acting out, young adult grasping and greediness, birthing two sons, divorce, and the traumatic separation from her mother to the liberation of her soul into spiritual adulthood. Her life story is relatable. We can all identify with the struggles of growing up in a materialistic culture devoid of true universal love. We all yearn for the perfect mother that makes us feel safe and whole. The vacancy created by the lack of feminine wisdom sets the stage for her soul’s journey. Without immersion in the Great Mother, how can any physical mother be a true and trusted guide or any child emerge as the divine’s full, unique expression?
Kerri recommends for those who wish to deepen their relationship with Earth consciousness that we be encouraged to learn and practice “Sacred creation.” Sacred creations are inspired by Divine connection, serve a greater purpose, bring beauty, and serve as a fountain of Love that restores the Garden of Earth even as it is derived from the Mother Earth’s materials. A baby is a sacred creation. This book is a sacred creation. A chanupa is a sacred creation. A ceremonial cloth is a sacred creation. To birth a sacred creation, you must prepare the vessel. You must honor the vessel through which the creation is birthed. You must open the vessel and flood it with the Divine through sacred ritual and prayer. And then you must surrender to the Great Spirit that is the only force that can birth a sacred creation…through you as the prepared vessel. You are not doing it. The Great Spirit is the one that answers the prayers from the chanunpa. And if you have prepared your vessel for the sacred, the Great Spirit can birth the sacred creation through you.
Kerri writes “Is it any wonder that humanity is at a point of crisis where Mother Earth hurls at us fires, tornadoes, melting ice caps, earthquakes, and viruses? Collectively, we are disrespecting our mothers, we are birthing humans fixated on consuming, penetrating, conquering, and claiming—and very few humans are listening as our skies fill with smog and our plant medicines burn in the jungle. We have reached the end of the patriarchal drive to conquer the feminine and control Mother Earth. Humanity will never dominate the Earth. She will flick humanity off her back like so many fleas if we do not start listening to her. She’s been listening to us, and she knows our every anticipated move. Take a moment and consider how ridiculous it is to be concerned with a manicure when in just a few generations from now we may be extinct if we don’t take action now to course correct. Please, we need to get our priorities straight for the benefit of future generations.
To survive, we need humans turned into Mother Earth. We need our medicine women to rebuild the fabric of human society with wisdom, compassion, patience, and diplomacy. We need our men to put down their tools of destruction, stop building stuff we don’t need, stop trying to ‘outwit’ Mother Nature with new biohazards and drugs, and stop playing Monopoly to control and subjugate life on Earth. We must humble ourselves to learn from the sacred power of Mother Earth that is beyond our comprehension.”
Kerri and Sheryl share reasons that there has been an inability on the part of men to recognize the equality of women and that has unfortunately been part of human history it seems since the beginning of life on earth.
Kerri writes, “For centuries women have been falsely conditioned to think that they are lower than men, and that the way to please ‘God’ is to subjugate yourself to men’s control. That the way to survive in the world is to ‘get a man and keep him.’” Kerri is now remembering when her grandmother, who was trained in the Southern Baptist beliefs, told her that ‘the Bible says woman serves man.’ Kerri felt repulsed by this statement and hurt, and that was the correct response.
Now let us turn our attention to Christianity that has worshiped Jesus. Indeed, Jesus is an incredible teacher of love, forgiveness and compassion. And, Jesus was born of Mary. Mary prepared her vessel to receive the sacred gift of the Divine. Without this preparation, it is possible that a baby would have been born….but not a great spiritual teacher. Because Mary had prepared her vessel to be a living chanunpa, she lived in walking prayer. Because Mary lived in walking prayer, she reared her child in walking prayer. Because Mary mother Jesus in walking prayer, the world received the great spiritual teacher Jesus. It all began with the Mother and her decision to honor her sacred vessel…even if the prevailing culture did not honor her as a chanunpa, she found it within herself to do so.
Sheryl shares with us her own feeling that the Patriarchal Religions have intentionally or unintentionally, set up a system where the man is the head of the household and the wife holds a secondary place or role, while the man is free to go out and earn a living, the wife is expected to stay home and be in charge of the family. In ancient days that was the way but as we have advanced technologically and scientifically, we realize that the perceptions of God’s will may have been interpreted to keep the men in power Even today the fundamentalist segments of all religions or orthodox still conform to this perceived version of God’s will. Men often being somewhat physically and more aggressive naturally than women, have been comfortable at times with their role, but now as spiritually advanced interpretations of living with the laws of Universal Energy, there is more of an acceptance that men and women both have male and female energy, although in different proportions, and using all this energy can balance, harmonize personal development and help relationships to improve. That is the way.
Kerri tells us that losing touch with our ancestry has perhaps harmed the progress of women’s liberation and freedom from society’s mores and restrictions.
Kerri tells us “as it is harder for Kerri and other spiritual messengers who have been harmed by the violence and anger in the world today, it is hard to hear her spiritual guides when she goes into softness. Her heart is so conditioned by the masculine for being pounded over the head with it that the gentler messages slide under the surface of awareness. And it is the same for most humans on the planet today. The Great Spirit offers a constant stream of subtle impressions that you can quiet yourself to hear and follow. Many ascended masters are here at this time to help you move out of the mind and back into your heart so you can hear these gentle messages. In the stillness is an understanding that liberates you from the conditioning of your mind from thousands of years of masculine energy domination. As the women soften their hearts, the grief in their wombs can be released. With this clearing, there will be space for Love to grow again. It takes courage to soften your heart, to set down the armor, and to listen to your inner landscape with compassion, rather than judgment. It takes courage to claim responsibility to prepare your vessel for the sacred because it means facing the inner destruction caused through human conditioning and forgiving it to reclaim your chanunpa and feminine sacred connection to the divine.”
Kerri looks into the concept of what a Courageous Heart is. She sees a Courageous Heart within every nuance of a mother registered by her child: facial expressions, emotional energy, tone of voice, smell, energy. Each child is finely tuned to their mother from the beginning for guidance on all of life’s challenges from the moment you are in her womb until you manage to parent yourself through inner healing of the Mother Wound. The relationship with your mother is a huge factor in whether you can identify your feelings and communicate, have the confidence to take risks, be resilient in the face of setbacks, and feel strong self-worth and self-love. Kerri says she never realized how important she was as a mother until her children were nearly grown. She spent most of their young lives swimming in self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, and fear of mothering them wrong from her own unhealed Mother Wound.
Together, she feels we must break the cycle and help our young mothers begin parenting from a healed place. We must have courageous hearts and that means trust and love for self, for the divine Universal Source of all life, as we learn to ask for help from Spirit and others, here on Earth when needed, so we may continue to grow in alignment to our divine soul being and know we are being guided to fulfill our life mission. For many women that is to grow beyond the conscripts of past indoctrination by a patriarchal society that has deemed women as a second class citizen. Courage is using all your spiritual talents to throw that energy to your children and to the world, and to heal the wounds of so many centuries of abuse to the women of earth.
Kerri might like readers to remember after reading the book that the qualities that best serve every human now are humility, presence, integrity, and willingness to take personal responsibility to clean up this mess we have collectively created. You’ve got to stop listening to other people who are operating from past belief systems and who are trained to believe they are not worthy, not good enough, not loved, not wanted, not respected, not appreciated; and so birthed you into a web of consciousness where you never felt worthy, good enough, loved, wanted, respected and appreciated. When you heal the Mother Wound within you, you awaken to the powerful connection you can have with Mother Earth, and that leads you through breadcrumb steps to claim the Garden of Eden that is right here, right now. The indigenous cultures around the world have guarded these secrets for this Great Awakening, waiting for you to be ready to heal yourself and reconnect with Mother Earth.
We thank you Kerri Hummingbird, author of Love is Fierce, for helping us move past the amnesia created for many at birth of our unique divine essence or soul connection to the Oneness of life and to our ability to move past the fears of the physical world that often taint and hides our abilities to live with love and self -respect until we once again remember our divine potential.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have discussed how many mothers of today need to move past the harm imposed on them over centuries, which has also harmed the children, will be corrected by mothers who wish to heal their children and future generations because they love them more than themselves; the children are the reason women will finally face and heal the Mother Wound within. Kerri and many others are now the kind of mothers who can do for their kids what they always wanted to receive from their mothers: listen and unconditionally love. They’ve said some pretty rough things to me, things that I never would have been brave enough to say to my mother. I have listened and guided as best I could. I have humbled myself rather than forced my will, controlled or manipulated them. We have discussed how vital it is that you know yourself as strong, wise, and capable. This is especially important for women and mothers now as we enter the Age of Aquarius where the Divine Feminine rises, and we embrace the Divine Mother as a teacher. Strong wise women are the weavers of the web of family and community.
Kerri wrote, “This is the Mother Wound that medicine women today bear the brunt to heal on behalf of humanity. The family is still operating from the painful conditioning even as we are healing the Mother Wound within ourselves. We pass on the Mother Wound before we are aware we are doing it, and then we work through the patterns and the shadows in ourselves, our children and families at the same time. Projection runs rampant, blame divides us into ‘sides’, and the pain is unbearable so we leave each other. Mothers are dragged through the mud one last time, often without our family realizing they’re doing it, or that there’s another potential for how to perceive and resolve these familiar and painful cycles.”
Kerri and Sheryl would have you remember to support women and yes, to support men also, at this critical time in the spiritual evolution of humanity: when you have the capacity to see the bigger picture of the evolution of our species, you can have grace and compassion for those souls still mired in the mud of the Mother Wound and struggling to free themselves from the falseness of this collective untruth and dysfunction. We will move beyond love and a greater balance of energies.

Today’s Guest
https://www.motherwoundbook.com/welcome43336671
Marriage gets a bad rap. It’s the butt of many jokes and many believe it’s an archaic institution that needs to be ended. The truth is humans crave connection. The desire to love and be loved drives both reality and stories that have been told for centuries. Marriage is a formalization of that desire and, when done well, has positive impact on health, wealth and happiness.
Alysse ElHage, editor of The Family Studies Blog for the Institute of Family Studies reveals evidence from a new study that having a loving, supportive marriage is neither rare nor unattainable.

I started my meditation practice about ten years ago. You would think after a decade of practice that, mediation would be easy for me.

As an integral part of the Being a Skilled Self-Aware Leaderarea of focus for this series we discussed ways to discover and capitalize on your strengths. The things you are really good at and are passionate about.. But my guess is that as a leader you are pretty well booked up. So, we need to look for ways to free up more discretionary time for you so you can capitalize on your strengths. But even if you do not need to free up time to capitalize on your strengths, it makes good sense to arrange for more discretionary time to perform higher-value work as a leader to achieve the desired results you aspire to achieve.

We each determine for ourselves we will believe.
But it often seems so complicated. Think of belief as a bouquet of flowers. Pick one or two, focus on those. Slowly add more as you continue to seek and find.
The concept of individual liberty under a secular government was birthed in the Middle Ages where wars, famine, pandemics, and unpredictable weather created havoc among the hierarchies of political powers. Through the trials and tribulations, novel approaches to the ideas of individual freedom began to take root. This discussion is sometimes rather laborious but important for our understand of where we are today.

The Author
Wayne Edwards is a born and bred Montanan. He grew up in the rural town of Denton in the US State of Montana where he graduated in 1971 from Denton High School. Wayne attended Montana State University in Bozeman, graduating with a per- Med/Chemistry degree in 1975. He then received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Washington in 1980, returning to Bozeman where he practiced Dentistry for six years.
In 1986, he returned to his hometown as a third-generation banker of the independent family-owned agricultural bank started by his grandfather in 1929.
Typical of the small-town way, when the local high school football coach left shortly before the start of the 1991 season, the former college football player Edwards agreed to serve as the interim head coach at the eight-man football school. The interim designation turned into a highly enjoyable and satisfying six-year stint. This playing and coaching experience served as an inspiration for his creation of the fictional story that is Pacer Coulee Chronicles.
Married for forty-seven years to his college sweetheart, Wayne and Lorinda are now retired from banking and split their time between their homes in Bozeman, Montana and Cave Creek, Arizona. They enjoy spending time with their three daughters and sons-in-law, and their eight grandchildren.
Quirky Story
Something you’d only see in a small town
The rural small town where I lived and worked had a business district that typical of small towns consisted of only two city blocks. Like most little towns, the usual and customary parking practice was one of angle parking (as opposed to parallel). One day as I was coming out of the bank and about to go across the street to go to the Post Office, a car directly in front of the Post Office was backing out from its angle position into the middle of the street. As I got closer to the moving vehicle, I was surprised to see that nobody was in the car…a headless driver, if you will! As the car began to pick up speed, I could see that it was headed towards another angle-parked car on the opposite side of the street. Fortunately, this incident occurred before I became old and fat, and I was able to chase down the now -increasing-in-speed vehicle and open the driver-side door and jump in. Only after applying the brakes and stopping the runaway car just before it crashed into the other car did I discover the true ‘headless driver’ of the car…it seems that when Mrs Goettel exited the car to enter the Post Office, she didn’t quite get the shift all the way to ‘park’, leaving it in ‘reverse’. The angle to the curb was such was such that the car wouldn’t have moved had her aging Shih Tzu not crawled down from the seat to lay on the driver-side floorboards, thereby depressing the accelerator and ‘driving’ the car!

Buster
This endearing story is for me a bedtime story for parents/grandparents to read to their youngsters. The illustrations by Gina Daws are vivid, magical and engaging for very young imaginations. It’s a simple story of the rural wildlife found in Montana told through twelve animated characters working together to get Buster the black bear out of an embarrassing situation on Bridger Mountain. You have adorable characters like Gabriellle ‘Gabby’ Gopher nosey-know-all, Brutus the grumpy bad-tempered badger, Oliver Wendell Owl lll, the wise old owl, Billy Bob Bobcat a feisty little so and so, and of course Buster the black bear with a penchant for huckleberries, insects and honey. It’s a cute bedtime read for the little ones.
Pacer Coulee Chronicles
This exhilarating adventure story is aimed at an upper young adult/ adult audience school students who are passionate about school sports and all the goings on off the field. The book is set in the 1990s in Pacer Coulee a small rural town in Central Montana exposed to all the seasonal wild weather conditions Montana gets. Edna Coffman is the domineering matrix head, who’s used to getting her way, she certainly rules the roost. She’s passionate about sport and with the school’s failing sports achievements she instructs Lester her athletics director to seek coaches for the school’s football and basketball squads. Having hired Luke and Madison, Edna is looking forward to success so that she can hold her head up high in the community especially when it comes to the school’s arch-rivals the ‘Goddam Catholics.’ However, the story isn’t just about regaining champion status for the school it gives an insight as to how the schools and local communities in rural Montana coexisted then side by side for the benefit of all. The attention to detail Wayne addresses is phenomenon, the tension with all the drama expected from a small-town America community is there in bucket loads, all the gossip and shenanigans as well as the latest farming news are all too clear at times to see and read in the local paper, ‘The Pacer Coulee Chronicles.’ The storyline deals with real issues that impact the rural community, death and unfortunate circumstances. For me the legion of students cast as characters here with the townsfolk as well brings this book to life, the drama and the tension plays out right to the bitter end like any good book’s storyline should. I loved the characters Dolph, Earl and of course the unruly Brewster sisters. What a Book!
A Stones Throw (Coming shortly)
Middle Grade/Young Adult fiction
A heart-warming story set in the 1960’s, about an orphaned girl Maggie living in an orphanage in San Francisco. Her life is about to change when her paternal grandfather from rural Montana a veteran of WWI shows up and gets custodial rights to bring her back to his homestead ranch in the wilds of Montana. The rustic farming life she’s about to face is a far cry from the bustling city life of a cosmopolitan city such as San Francisco. For a twelve-year-old girl having to adapt to a new life is both scary and daunting, as well as having to get to know Ira an old war veteran a man who until now she had never heard of or met. The relationship between the two is difficult, Maggie doesn’t know how to relate to her unknown grandfather, like wise for Ira getting to know and understand what a twelve-year-old girl needs at her time of life is unfathomable to him. Yet the two of them need to adjust to each other if success is to be achieved.

The Author
Timothy Green is a British author From Chatham a town located within the Medway unitary authority in the ceremonial county of Kent, England. It would be fair enough of me to say that Timothy’s life at times has been an uphill struggle battling with mental health issues over a ten-year period that saw him in and out of various hospitals. In recent years a huge stabilizing influence in his life has been that of his fiancé Lena from South Africa. What unites the two of them is their passion not only for each other but their faith and poetry. When you have a look at the book, you’ll see just how much of these strengths come across. Yes, you can argue that Timothy’s creative mind has a huge influence in the poems but let me reassure you this book like all of Timothy’s books are a joint venture.
A person with a gentle nature is how Timothy best describes himself, he has a love of music as well and for him a good night out is a heavy jamming (impromptu musical) session in the local clubs and pubs. The stage life has often beckoned with musical tours but for the moment writing and publishing his poems is his present priority, and when you look at his poems, you’ll see why.

My old friend and I were always there for each other. One night we went out and within the throng and all other activities we lost each other, I ended up at his parent’s house and he at my parent’s house. We had a strange relationship but spent a lot of time together. We thoroughly enjoyed video games, music, pubs, clubs, football, cadets, work and of course poker nights. What great times we had.
The Book
This book is a collection of some two hundred poetic verses, some of these poems have been uplifted from his other works but seventy of them are new. Some of them have a spiritual undertones stemming form Timothy’s own Christian beliefs others are simply breath-taking. Like all poetic/free verse writings there are simple compelling storylines hidden within the contents of all of Timothy’s wonderfully constructed verses.
Timothy has written six books in total all of which can be found on his webpage www.timothygreentimsir.com

The Author
Dr Eric Kolb was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in the USA he went to Ohio and Capella Universities, moved to Germany in 1994, worked as a street performer, circus performer, as an actor and comedian. He presently lives in Obernkirchen a small town near Hannover. Germany.
Muscular Dystrophy is a hereditary condition marked by weakening and wasting of the muscles, a life changing game plan if you are unfortunate enough like Eric to be diagnosed with this debilitating disease at such a young age. When he began working with the Clown Doctors, the first group of clowns to perform in Children’s Hospitals in Germany, his interest in child psychology began. Humour has been at the heart of Eric’s life, and he often describes it as the best medicine particularly when the chronic pain gets unbearable as the condition continues to ravage his body. Understanding and coming to terms with the choices available to him in life were going to be restrictive and that his future was destined for a wheelchair rather than a spotlight, Eric obtained a M.Sc. in Psychological Counselling. Amalgamating his skills as a performing artist, Eric became a licensed mental health practitioner in Germany, specializing in child development and behaviour. However, this also due to his deteriorating condition became too much of a challenge. Eric turned his attention to gaining a Ph.D. in General Psychology and has been working as an independent researcher ever since and recently as a writer when his hands allow him to type on the keyboard.
I asked Dr Kolb for a quirky story, and this is what he sent me.
When I heard God Laugh.
I stated previously that I was given two years to live when I was first diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. That, of course, crushed me. It Crushed my heart, body, mind and soul. During all that unexpected stress, I had a flashback memory at a church summer camp. Being from a strong Christian family and having a famous father, I did not get much attention at such camps. The church leaders spent all their time with kids who needed their help and left me to fill up 1000 water balloons for all the other kids to play with while I and a few other kids were left to clean the kitchen after lunch. On the last evening, just before the typical alter call, they brought an older kid up on stage. He was the coolest kid there. He played guitar in the band, had a tattoo, and long hair. Everyone thought he was awesome. He went up on stage and told the story about how he tried to kill himself by drinking laundry detergent only a couple of months previously, but now he’s given his life to Christ. While everyone cheered, and all the girls wanted to hug him, and all the church leaders wanted to give him a high five; I couldn’t help to think “Idiot, do you know how much detergent you need to swallow before it will kill you and how long it would take?” The truth was this kid was clearly not on track, he had bad school grades and led a sinful life, no accomplishments to speak of, yet he was the cool one, the hero of the youth group! So, with that in mind we were all sent out to go off alone and think about if we wanted to accept Christ into our lives. I had done that I least twenty times in the past and concluded you only have to ask God once. So, I wanted to talk to God about this. I asked God,” why is my life so perfect, what kind of testimony will I ever be able to give? When will I ever be able to tell how God got me through an impossible problem when I never have any problems?” That’s when I heard God laugh and say, do not worry; you’ll get your chance.
I Think we can clearly see a connection now between Dr Kolb’s Theological concepts and his Psychology thoughts; hence his writings and his books so let’s turn to the book.
The Book
The Human Mind: A psychological View of Theological Concepts
In, The Human Mind: A Psychological View of Theological Concepts, Dr Kolb compares and contrasts the scientific understanding of the human mind with that of the teaching of the Bible. In some cases, he sees that these two perspective viewpoints are similar, such as in various aspects of child development. However, where positive psychology claims that the power to induce change lies within the individual, the Bible on the other hand teaches that we can do nothing apart from Christ. Erics book starts off with the concepts of belief, upon which the mind develops. Both Christian Theology and scientific psychology agree that one’s beliefs serve as a lens through which reality is viewed, and that humans mainly choose what they want to believe. As such, an individuals’ core beliefs serve as the foundation upon which their mind develops. Dr Kolb’s book in theory outlines the numerous development processes of the human mind, beginning with the blank state, through sensory integration and learning through to the concept of self-awareness and the theory of mind upon which a person’s identity is formed. Finally, after corroborating the relationship between mind and behaviour, Dr Kolb closes the book with the contemplation of the nature and development of the mind of Jesus of Nazareth.
This book is an extraordinary book well written, thank you Eric. Here’s our video chat:
https://youtu.be/ZFRveYSxUG4The Psychology of God
This book was Dr Kolb’s first book and is about a scientific study of various aspects of human and the behaviour taken from both a theological and psychological perspective and serves as an introduction to the four books that follow. The Human Mind, which is the topic of today’s discussion, is the first book of this series. The Human Soul is currently being published and will be available shortly. The Human Heart is currently in the making, and The Human Body will complete the series. Kolb’s books point out that modern scientific psychology has discovered ancient references to the heart, body, mind and soul that form the very being of man, but science and theology still have contrasting viewpoints around the psychology of God.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
There are very few things in life that can melt your heart like a new puppy and there’s a reason for that. We were put on this earth to love one another; to show compassion and to help each other. Puppies were put here to show us how to do that. All we have to do is pay attention. They are love personified. They live to serve and they thrive on your attention. You might not even be a dog owner, but you can’t deny the cute cuddly affection and the happiness that radiates from these miraculous creatures. Any breed, any color, any size. Just watching them shred paper in the pet store window, feeling their soft fur against your skin, it is pure unadulterated joy.
Do I have you in a happy place? Hang onto that feeling because it gets better. Today you get to meet Becky Hohnstein who has written a fun loving picture book of rhymes that traces the life of her best friend, Tuesday. Here’s a sample that needs very little set-up because the picture will paint itself easily on our minds eye.
Becky Hohnstein – She’s, well it tells you what she’s doing she is digging in the mud so it goes; With black nose and eyes and often black paws she became a frisky cocker with a mighty cause. She dug in the mud her curly spattered locks once clean and white now a grubby mask and socks.
And then, as you might expect, it was bath time.
Becky Hohnstein – A batch time grupple and some time we found our Tuesday with much less grime.
The book is called Tuesday’s Story, A book of rhyme for children and pet lovers, a title that sums up the book pretty perfectly. It traces the full life of Tuesday’ from puppy to adulthood and her eventual passing.
Becky Hohnstein – Tuesday was a wonderful little Cocker Bichon that we had for fourteen and half years. And, I had to put her down and it was very traumatic for me.
To be sure. Getting a puppy has to be the best day of your life and for many of us it begins a life filled with firsts. The first cute little bark, the first time he does what you tell him, the first trip to the park, the first bath, the first item destroyed and eventually the first time you have to say goodbye. One of the takeaways today is to make sure you photograph all those firsts. It’s the fastest and easiest way to find comfort when they are gone.
Becky Hohnstein – I started discovering all these pictures on my computer and it made me feel better to look at them and then I started putting words to them and I found myself putting a story to the pictures. It was very relaxing but it helped me to deal with the death of Tuesday also. Then I decided to rhyme the words and then I decided maybe it would be a nice children’s book .
She was right. The Introduction reads, “Tuesday was born on a Wednesday, after a few weeks, she came to us on a Saturday. She was named on a Friday. This is Tuesday’s story.”
It’s a story with a new adventure on every page so it flows from one thing to another and because of the photo’s it’s as fun to look at as it is to read. You see Becky is also an amateur photographer so the pictures are terrific — side note, she has a great eye for good lighting and unique landmarks like Carhenge in Alliance Nebraska — Carhenge is a replica of Stonehenge using cars, it’s the eighth wonder of the world for sure and a site not to be missed on your next trip through Alliance. I put a link to the website in the show’s description.
Becky Hohnstein – It’s a bunch of cars that have been put in the ground for years and years and people take pictures of them. Well I had to get up early one morning. It’s fifty miles away and I had to be there at sunrise because the cars are all kind of grey and colorless. I had to be there at sunrise so i could get the sun reflecting on them and as I recall my fingers were frozen for about half an hour but I got the pictures I wanted.
It’s that kind of attention to detail combined with her clever rhymes and obvious loving relationship with Tuesday that makes this such a special project.
Becky Hohnstein – It is a fun book to read and then you want to read it again you know, cause it has that flow.
Oh yes, I think the first word my daughter learned was “Again”. It’s nice when it’s a book you are happy to read over and over.
Tuesday’s Story, A book of rhyme for children and pet lovers by Becky Hohnstein is one of those stories. It’s available now at lots of independent book stores so if you like to support local businesses there are links in the show’s description. It is also available at the big bookstores like xlibris.com, barnesandnoble.com, and amazon.com.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

https://youtu.be/_Hwsxxrt7dEAbout Dr. Dobies:
The UrgentVet concept was created by Dr. Jim Dobies a beloved veterinarian whose kindhearted care has been appreciated and valued by countless furry patients and their families.
Dr. Dobies recognized that pet parents needed another choice in veterinary services – an alternative that would offer flexible after-hours care, without the premium cost of a 24-hour emergency hospital. To fill this urgent need, he created UrgentVet – the clinic for pets who can’t wait to feel better.

Welcome to Healing from Within with your host Sheryl Glick, Reiki Master Energy Teacher, Medium, who assists clients connect to their life plan goals and manifest through thought and action their most spiritual and physical life realities. As author of her newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Share Global Awakening, Sheryl is delighted to welcome Mary Petto, author of The Family Guide to The Law of Attraction, who’s stories and research help readers understand the Law of Attraction for manifesting our best life results and it’s all based in using energy effectively, lovingly, and for the purpose of improving one’s self, the community, and world.
As listeners of Healing from Within are well aware, Sheryl and her intuitive guests share intimate stories and insights into the metaphysical world of creation and possibilities for creating while here in a physical world, a life that merges our soul-based memory with our ego-based physical life reality so we may know ourselves more fully and not have the physical world and its challenges take away from the magnificent personal power we all possess within. Like any game to be played well, one must know there are rules, and we must learn to effectively use the tools of our inner wisdom along with meditation, energy healing, higher awareness and higher consciousness in all its aspects, which make manifesting not just a possibility but our everyday reality.
In today’s episode of Healing from Within, Mary Petto shows us how she has discovered the Law of Attraction from her earliest days as a child and has been leveraging the Law of Attraction since she was a teenager to help her achieve many of her goals and successes in life. Mary, as one of her goals, wishes to help parents and teachers assist the younger generation to be aware of these universal laws before they become overwhelmed by the complicated current happenings in today’s world such as the Coronavirus, economic and political upheaval, decisions about their future prospects for their careers and health among other things.
When Mary is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person, place, or event that signaled to her or others around her the interest and lifestyle she would embrace as an adult, she tells Sheryl that she had a very happy childhood and always knew she was supported to make choices that would ultimately bring her closer to achieving all her goals. She was actually practicing the Law of Attraction, which suggests that the energy that you give out into the world brings back the same results that you are focusing your thoughts on. One of the Universal Laws of Energy, which when understood and practiced can allow for a healthier and more prosperous physical life journey is the Law of Attraction. Other laws include The Law of Totality, Karma, Wisdom , Love, Harmony, Abundance Attraction, Evolution, Manifestation, Destiny, Non-locality. (in that order)
Mary tells us that one of the first things that she is aware of in using the Law of Attraction in a positive way was when she manifested her first boyfriend whom she met on her first day at a new summer camp. The night before she had decided to become someone new. In her 14 year old mind in the early 1980’s that meant the kind of person that was popular and had a lot of friends. She repeated to herself that she was popular and would have a boyfriend…She had made a shift in perception and as a result attracted what she wanted to herself. Sheryl goes on to reveal that she herself has always been using the Law of Attraction well before she even knew about it.
Sheryl has a similar happening to Mary’s. When she was 15 going on 16, she was a CIT or Counselor in Training and away from home for the first time. “There was a counselor Ira in charge of the horses and agriculture and he was 22 and a Senior in College. He was going with the most popular girl in the camp and secretly she found him attractive. Shortly after he broke up with her and we all were at the campfire one night. When he walked over to me and sat down, I was mystified. How had this guy found me? We were an interesting combination. I was a gifted student and he was a man of Nature…he either wanted to be a rancher or news anchor…he had a great speaking voice. We went out over the next year when he could travel in from college in Delaware to New York but I was only entering college and he was finishing college and ready for a different chapter of his life. He soon married a girl he had known prior to our meeting and went out west to live on the ranch he manifested in his discussions with me. My life took me in pursuit of many different interests. Kind of funny that he became the rancher and I, in time, became the host of a radio show.”
Mary tells us about the Law of Attraction, and how can it help children and young adults thrive.
The Law of Attraction refers to an ancient scientific law of the universe that states that your mind, with the right focus and emotion (intention), can attract to you everything you desire. Harnessing the universe’s field of potentiality is not difficult, and if you are open to acknowledging your own power to make things happen, you absolutely will. Like all scientific laws, the Law of Attraction is happening whether you are aware of it or not. You could be manifesting exactly what you don’t want by focusing your intention in the wrong direction.
Many experts around the globe, for thousands of years, have explored the important connections between the mind and the body. From science and psychology, from modern-day life coaches and the great philosophers, there is agreement on these few matters:
- Thoughts create things.
- Your thoughts attract the people and situations that vibrate at the same frequency.
- Energy flows where your intention goes!
- You have enormous healing potential. The goal is learning to access it.
Sheryl is reminded of the many times she has been guided by Spirit to see the Law of Attraction at work and in her newest book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening. While at hospice one day, Spirit showed Sheryl once again how the Law of Attraction is always at work to help us and others, and shares the following story:
Sheryl writes, “Suddenly we noticed snowflakes falling, and within a few minutes, enough accumulated to make the open plains beyond the building glisten and shine with freshness. The patient wanted to go outside to smoke, and he told his son to get a nurse to help them. I said that that would not be necessary as I was trained to take him. He was so thrilled not to have to wait. I told the patient “This is the first time I’ve done this, so if we cooperate, we can show the staff how expert we are at this maneuver.” I was acutely aware that only an hour ago, I had said to myself “Why do they keep teaching me how to use the wheelchair when I would never have to do this?” Was the Universe saying, “Never say never,” or did I intuitively pick up that I would have to help this man by using a wheelchair? It might be that the Universe gives us what we most want, or what we do not want, as it doesn’t analyze it but just delivers it. Make sure of where your concentration and thoughts are, as they are crucial in manifesting your reality
The Law of Attraction works well when we learn how to” ask, believe and receive”. Those are the three words to remember.
Mary would tell us that it is possible to begin to assist your children to learn the techniques and thought processes necessary to know that their inner happiness comes from their own creation not the outside world.
You can begin by helping them make bookmarks. On one side of your bookmark, you can make a list of ten things you are thankful for. On the other side of the bookmark put ten more things you are thankful for. You are actually creating positive thoughts which assist in manifesting positive events, people and success in your life.
It’s also helpful to have groups at home or a club while reading this book so you can share what you have learned and how you are implementing it into your daily life experiences. Next we can make a vision board and think about what we are grateful for and what we hope to create in the days ahead that will supplement the high-vibe energy we are creating.
Sheryl suggests another great series of books for parents and children to read together It is called Sara written by Esther and Jerry Hicks and shares the Law of Attraction and other energetic awarenesses. A group of young teenagers Sara Seth and Annette go through tough times and are assisted by their spiritual teacher an owl named Solomon they learn to understand life, death, energy and how their thoughts are changing their lives and the lives of those they love.
It is great way to teach our children the Universal Laws of Energy so they can begin to use their inner energy and begin to work with the Law of Attraction and other Universal Laws as described by a former guest on the show, Dr. Carmen Harra, a psychic medium and psychologist who wrote The Eleven Eternal Principles.
Mary tells us how she became more aware of the Universal Laws of Energy and how it helped her greatly. After she got married and had two small children, she suffered from anxiety. She was stricken by fear on a daily basis…fear of death, fear for her kids safety, fear of flying and so on. This is not uncommon for people who are sensitives or empaths and eventually are guided to find their spiritual path and know how the Universe works through energy and to eventually connect to soul energy to harness the personal power within, which can sustain us through any challenges the physical world throws at us.
Being with groups or individuals who have been able to sustain their spiritual memories of their connection to the universe and the oneness of Being and manifesting our best lives helps us to be more successful as when we are supported by our tribe like when we are on the same page as our parents and our friends and co-workers because we are not alone.
Mary shares with us why it is that many people don’t have what they want.
Mary writes, “A primary reason there are people who don’t have what they want is that they are thinking more about what they don’t want than what they do want. So if you are a complainer, The Law of Attraction brings into your life more situations for you to complain about. On the other hand, people who we think of as “lucky” people who seem to have everything go their way all the time, manifest those good things because they only expect good things to happen. Words + Thoughts = Energy” For those doubters it is good to remember a quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” This means that our perception of the world creates our life experience.
Other scientists such as Max Planck, known as the founder of quantum physics, was a German physicist who demonstrated that when an individual looks at an object the characteristics of the object actually change at a very real and physical molecular level.
Sheryl says “It is interesting but when my oldest granddaughter was little she dressed up as Snow white and with her very dark hair and pale complexion and bright Blue eyes she was perfect as the character. I may have said to her over and over that she was truly like Snow White except Snow White had green eyes. By about the time she was 4 or 5 her eyes changed from the bluest of blue to green eyes. Maybe we both thought of that option and it happened through the Law of Attraction. I still wonder how that change happened? Genetically, both of her parents have blue eyes. Well ultimately I said it but she made it happen. Our thoughts change our perception and then our reality.”
Mary goes on to say “think of something you used to be afraid of or disliked but eventually overcame like fear of the dark or public speaking distaste for a certain food. As soon as your perception flipped, that thing became something different—it went from bad to good. Science has brought us to understanding the opportunities we have to create our environment and our life with our mind or thoughts.”
Isaac Newton first published his theories on gravity and his laws of motion which is the basis for understanding the universe appears to work in a precise and mathematical manner like clockwork. During the era of Galileo there wasn’t a focus on concepts like soul, spirit or consciousness. But just before Newton was born, Rene Descartes, the French “father of philosophy” declared that the best way to understand how the world works would be to divide existence into two parts: the objective, material world governed by the principles of science and the subjective world of the mind and the soul which would be understood by religion. He was emphasizing the duality of life, the physical and energetic both very real. Descartes famous statement “I think therefore I am” helps us to understand how to use The Law of Attraction to create that which we truly want and not accept the random outside world to impress negativity or other goals or desires for us.
In the beginning of the 20th century Albert Einstein, a mathematician, found that the only way to explain the behavior of light was to stop looking within the framework of traditional Newtonian physics. He introduced the Theory of Relativity which described how energy and matter are not only related to each other but can be transformed back and forth into each other.
Einstein’s breakthrough comes down to this. Everything is energy. Everything you can taste, touch or smell is made of molecules. What you’re made of, atoms, is literally vibrating packets of energy.
Years after Einstein’s work other scientists Neils Bohr and Warner Heisenberg realized when you take a deeper look at atoms, they aren’t just protons, neutrons and electrons. At the even smaller level they are packets of energy called quanta and suggest that physical matter—reality and real things—are not solid substances but fields of energy and that a particle takes on the specific character of a material thing only when it is measured or observed.
Thought is where everything comes from.
Dr Fred Alan Wolf an authority on quantum physics and consciousness says you can’t have a universe without the mind entering into it. The mind is actually shaping what we perceive
Here is all you need to know:
Everything in the physical world is made of atoms.
Atoms are made of energy
Energy is influenced by consciousness
Sheryl says “Years ago when everyone was so concerned that the year 2012 was going to be cataclysmic I was at a spiritual psychic development workshop with advanced practitioners of metaphysical theories and we were guided into a deep meditation and ask a single question of the Universe so I asked What will happen to humanity in 2012. I felt myself as a single atom in the dark skies of the universe No body but yet I was me Sheryl Glick all consciousness….I was frightened for a moment and when I pulled myself out of the meditation had no idea where I had just traveled to. Was it where I existed all the time as a single atom creating a life from the mind of the Universe? We all shared our experiences. One woman had a very similar vision to mine and suggested it meant humanity would become aware of their soul or energetic being and there would be a Spiritual Evolution for humanity. I liked her version better than the idea that we would all return to Spirit from where we had originated.”
Mary shares some of the amazing stories from her book about kids she’s worked with and the seemingly miraculous situations they manifested.
Trina, a woman spoken of in the book, tells how using the Law of Attraction helped her make her bullies go away. Trina was in fourth grade and was with two girls who had been at one time her best friends Jenny and Leila. They had decided they no longer wanted to include Trina in their little group and they also convinced other girls in their class not to include her or sit with her at lunch or talk to her. This made Trina very unhappy. Trina began to imagine what if Jenny and Leila weren’t at school as if they didn’t exist. She visualized getting off the bus, going into class sitting with the girls she used to have fun with before bullies told them to stay away from her. And she noticed how relaxed she began to feel. She also started to repeat a new affirmation or mantra in her thoughts: “I have lots of friends at school and everybody likes to be with me.”
The next day she went into school and noticed Leila wasn’t there. Maybe she was sick, Trina thought. Trina sat down and one of the girls in the class came over and said hello and showed her the new gloves she got from her mom the night before. Trina turned and saw Jenny behind her at her usual seat but she appeared to shrink away when Trina turned to look at her and Trina felt so powerful. Then class started and the principal entered and called Jenny out of the classroom and rumor was that Jenny was being reprimanded for bad behavior. At lunchtime when Trina sat down another girl called out her name and came over to sit with her. Some other girls came over too and Trina was busy telling stories and doing all the talking and the other girls were listening and laughing. One of the girls kept in touch with Trina and several years down the road she had lots of friends and worked on community service, attended honor’s program at her high school and was accepted into the college of her choice. Trina learned when she was 9 years old how powerful and magical she really was and how to conquer bullies or other challenges with courage and faith. So, learning how to use The Law of Attraction at a young age is very beneficial.
Another story is that of Jenny who had a bad divorce and the worry about her daughter having bad relationships made her talk negatively about many situations. Jennifer had also given up on the idea of dating or even finding love again. Mary spoke with Jennifer and convinced her that the dating scene she disliked so much was the result of her thoughts and she had the power to change the whole situation. She learned about vibration and that the energy emanating from her was her decision to be single for the rest of her life. How could she possibly attract others into her life when she asked the Universe to keep her single? When Trina asked Jenny what kind of relationship she wanted, Jenny immediately thought of an older couple she had seen in the parking lot at the grocery store the day before. The woman was using a scooter due to a handicap and her husband was walking at a slow pace next to her with his hand gently placed on her back. Jennifer longed for that kind of unconditional love and companionship Now that she had that feeling behind what she thought true love was, Trina could guide her to visualize what it would be like to love a man deeply and unconditionally and have it reflected back to her equally. Trina gave her two affirmations to say as she fell asleep that night believing it already had brought her the love she needed. “ I am in an exciting and wonderful relationship. There are so many great men around me all the time.” It wasn’t long before she was smiling just thinking that it was going to happen. And of course it did.
Mary explains the life-long impact on kids who understand their manifesting power.
They could learn where quantum physics intersects with thoughts, intentions and visualization and how everything has to do with the Law of Attraction and the outcome you want. We now know that everything is energy and there is no difference between matter and energy or soul life and physical life. The boundaries between the physical world and the world of our energetic thoughts is blurred.
Here’s all you need to know:
Everything in the physical world is made of atoms.
Atoms are made of energy.
Energy is influenced by consciousness.
Imagine what can happen if we believe that only the best of everything is happening to us and around us.
Before you can see what people can accomplish by utilizing the Law of Attraction, we might realize who we really are. Some people believe that human beings are made of the same elements as the stars. It seems we are literally made of stardust and the fact that the universe is actually part of us and that we are one with the universe isn’t the only cool scientific proof that we are magical. Of course, scientists like Albert Einstein have discovered that everything is made of energy. You may have learned that we are made of molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons but there is a smaller component to those components. Deep down inside an atom below the level of protons, neutrons and electrons are energy packets called quanta. The vibration of these quanta support or validate that a good decision was made.
Mary shares with us some simple experiments that may show you that the universe Is well aware of your thoughts and wants to help you achieve what you ask for. In the first experiment we ask for a sign, and you get to pick what the sign is.
- Pick your sign. Mary is a clown because she says clowns are weird and a little creepy
- Say out loud. Universe, prove that you’re listening to me and that I can attract whatever I think about…Within the next 24 hours show me a ______________________. Sheryl did this experiment asking to see an angel. The next day she opened her computer, and there was an email from the guest of the show telling her all about one of the angels she would be discussing on the upcoming show. When Sheryl left the office, she went to a store and standing behind her, she noticed a woman wearing a lovely gold necklace of an angel. It seems the Universe was very much paying attention.
- Set a timer for 24 hours.
Another good experiment is asking for a gift. Here is the only step- In your mind or out loud very clearly ask the Universe to deliver a special gift in the next 48 hours and say thank you as if you have already received it. There are many responses possible like a letter from long lost friends, gift cards, getting asked out by a coworker, getting a raise, checks in the mail etc. Shery also did this activity and when she arrived at home, there was a check in the mail, and her assistant handed her a crystal tree of life ornaments. So it worked, and rather quickly.
Another good experience is asking to show me I’m on the right path.
Sheryl tells us that now in this time of political upheaval and change and recovering from the Covid pandemic is it the perfect time to instill self -confidence and courage in our children. As we are becoming more aware of our spiritual gifts and ability to use the Law of Attraction, we may realize that the political concept of “wokeism” is not the same as people seeking enlightenment, evolution, a true connection to Universal Source, and the oneness of being. People on a spiritual journey “Awaken,” transform any negativity and false beliefs, and eventually transcend the limitations of their physical life.
Sheryl says: Anytime is a good time to help children develop an awareness of their own personal power and courage to face life’s challenges by using solutions not fear. Understanding that they have choices and helping them learn about energy and how it influences our emotions and state of being is perhaps the most important information you can share with them. To live life you need to learn the rules of the game. And the Universal Laws of energy assist us in living out our life plan and destiny with boldness creating much of what we bring into our lives.
Mary reminds us that in manifesting better results and outcomes in these challenging times after we ask for what is needed, we must believe.
- We must also remember not to be judgmental or feel bad about asking. The Universe is like a big catalog. Everything you want is already available whether it’s a job, good grades, a relationship or a new car. Go ahead and ask for what you want. There’s nor reason to feel guilty. Whatever it is, you deserve it. The Universe wants you to be happy.
- We must remember to Think Big. The universe works in mysterious ways, and recognizing that it is mysterious and magical is one of the secret clues to manifesting. Focus on the end result like if you want to go to Europe with your girlfriends don’t think of the money you need or the steps that need to be taken to get there. Just ask for the trip,
- Make sure it feels really good. Whether it’s something for the next day or forever make sure it will truly bring you joy.
Some things people have asked for and received are listed below:
- A new job close to home
- Getting accepted to a program that they had previously been rejected from.
- Doubling business sales in a week
- New romantic relationships
- Getting a seat assignment changed in a science class
- Enrolling a child in an expensive summer camp when there wasn’t enough money for it
- A dream vacation in Malibu
- A mean teacher transforming into a nice one
- Invitations to important events
- Health recovery
- New friendships
- A house on the beach
- A drama fee end to a toxic relationship
- A massive career promotion
- The exact wedding dress admired in a fake photo that came in a picture frame
- All the best shifts at work
Mary might like readers to remember that learning to really believe that you already have what you want is the most important step to manifesting any situation. By excitedly and joyfully believing that you already have an abundance of money, that you have already gotten accepted to your college of choice or that your relationship with your sister, mother, father, friend is terrific you are setting the vibration emanating from your new mindset or thoughts. The world is your oyster and the Universe will reveal to you all of the situations’, people, ideas and clues that align with your new beliefs.
We thank Mary Petto author of The Family Guide to the Law of Attraction for sharing a practical simple way for our children and young adults or anyone to begin to understand energy, vibration, and how thought creates what we bring into our lives and how to begin to improve our mindset for a more prosperous, happy and creative life of manifesting, all that we desire for it is the natural birthright of the soul to have a good life regardless of outside world influences.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within, Mary and Sheryl have shared their wondrous journeys of discovering that they are spiritual beings having a physical life and matter and energy are interchangeable as we can live in a body or not in an eternal world of dimensions of varying vibrations of thought and creation from mind. Learning to relax becomes an important aspect to achieving your goals and desires.
And Mary writes, “The most important rule about step two is to really believe the Universe is listening to you. If you know that the Universe has what you want and is going to give it to you at some point, you don’t cry, stress, strain or struggle trying to get that thing. If you are anxious and working hard to manifest what you want you are not believing that it’s coming to you by way of the Law of Attraction. The only emotions around what you’re feeling should be joy, because the only thing you believe is that you’ve already magically manifested what you wanted.”
Mary and Sheryl and all the scientists and writers we have mentioned in today’s discussion have had the courage to question their own mind and find the Self of inner being within, who only desires you to ask for help as then everything becomes possible. Open your mind and heart to knowing you are connected to all life now and forever.

This quote hit a chord with me.
I don’t believe every day needs to be a vacation, but I do think we all deserve to have a life filled with joy and passion. Being in business for 20 years, I can honestly say I do get to do what I love doing every day.
That’s helping my banks and bankers deliver and serve their communities at a higher level so their personal and business clients can thrive financially. Same thing for my private clients who are business owners.
So how do we live the life we desire and deserve? Glad you asked….

Sometimes we learn the most important life lessons in the most unexpected ways.
Sometimes we discover new meaning in something we heard or saw years earlier.
We will start this session with movement that will help us get warmed up for the mindfulness wave activity. I adapted the Wave Exercise activity from www.stressteens.com. The information and activities are geared toward teens to guide them to use mindfulness practices using evidence-based Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Teens (MBSR-T). This podcast aims to bring awareness on how to scale levels of importance and emotional stress based on Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Abraham Maslow introduced the hierarchy of needs in his 1943 paper “A Theory of Human Motivation.”
You will need paper and four or five color markers for the activity. I will ask you to write down nine items and rank their importance on a scale of zero to ten. If those items are depleted in your life, you will be asked to measure the stress level you think you would experience by ranking the feeling of stress on a scale of zero to ten. Choose a color that would represent that level of stress. Turn your paper over. Turn it horizontally. Finally, draw three big waves. For each wave, color the wave the color that represents the stress levels.
Join me during this episode as I guide you through this activity step-by-step. Finally, I invite you to open your mind to possible changes and choices to respond to stress.

As an extra to get you through to the next episode, the Crone talks about changing your focus from getting stuck in resentfulness over everyday responsibilities to figuring out how to shift to recognizing the spiritual throughout our mundane lives.
As a couple of authors, Darrell and Sandra, learn to bounce ideas off each other and who would decide what to keep or toss; and how to write as two authors for one book.
In this session, we place last week’s topic of letting go in the center of a much larger process called shifting. Shifting is what we can do when we recognize that things are going wrong or in an undesirable way and we need to turn it around. Steps and homework practice are included.
Check out their video about it here!

Connie’s motivational quote for today – Mark Roberge
“It’s no longer about interrupting, pitching, and closing. It is about listening, diagnosing, and prescribing.”

Lately, I feel like many sales trainers and consultants speak about building deep-rooted, transparent relationships as if this is a new concept in sales.
I know 40 years ago, when I started my sales career in the financial service industry, there was a ton of pitching and pushing going on without much interest in the actual person, family, or organization that was being sold to. It made me sick to my stomach that this type of bad selling was happening all around me.
I still see some of this same behavior, except now, buyers can do a ton of research, read reviews, and buy from a place of more confidence due to their research.
So what’s changed in sales today, and how do we close more deals quicker in this transparent world where the customer has researched everything? Glad you asked!

Today’s show is based on the book, “The One Pill Fix, A simple cure for an ailing planet by Andy Kirkwood. It is a journey of discovery, exploring the pressing issues impacting our planet and our lives while suggesting simple solutions for each.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Are you ready to change the world? I say that all the time but today we are going to do it. Stick around because before this show is over you are not only going to learn how to reverse climate change but you’re going to be presented with an infinite source of energy.
One of my personal goals is to leave the world a better place than I found it. It’s really not possible but we all do what we can right? It’s the same way I feel about every job I’ve ever held. Whether or not I’ve been successful is not for me to decide, after all I’m biased but making a positive contribution to the workforce, to the internet, to the hearts and minds of anyone brave enough to listen to this program is about all I can do. I hold no public office and at my age I simply do not have the ability to lead corporations into making planet friendly decisions but I can read. I can listen and I can vote. I can also share what I’ve learned and maybe that’s the best way to begin by sharing.
Where am I going with all this? Sometimes we do what we do out of habit or out of old ways of thinking that we simply haven’t taken the time to examine properly. I found a book with a very provocative title. The One Pill Fix, A simple cure for an Ailing Planet by Andy Kirkwood. Well, if it’s that simple then I want it.
See how easy that was? Open your mind. See a book and read it. This particular book takes on all kinds of issues like the secondary housing market, homelessness, the penal system or the real problem of climate change. For Andy it all started with a bit of traveling and not just a trip to the Grand Canyon, it was during his first circumnavigation of the globe.
Andy Kirkwood – Everywhere I went was having the Hottest, the coldest, the wettest, the latest, the earliest, temperatures, rainfall, everything, was off the scale everywhere. This was 1987 and I came back and said something is going on. I don’t know what it is but something is going on with the planet and that was way before anybody started talking about climate change or global warming and nobody listened to me at the time so I started to get that message out.
Wow 1987. I remember listening to Al Gore talk about Climate change in 1993. Our former Vice President has now spent decades calling for action so as you can see it’s not easy to get people to listen.
In his book Andy Kirkwood, asks some very interesting questions and I think this is a great place to pause and say them out loud. Are you someone that is concerned about the state of the world and wondering why the issues and problems plaguing mankind never get fixed?
Have you found yourself concerned about the widening wealth to poverty gap? The rich get richer…
When you see your planet in peril but can also see a simple solution, what do you do to awaken people?
Andy Kirkwood – How do you get people to act, and more to the point how do you get governments to act in an appropriate manner? It’s a very difficult thing to do.
That is the question isn’t it. I can not change your mind or make you do anything you don’t want to do – nor would I want to – but I would like to encourage you to open your mind to new possibilities. If you’re a staunch Republican or life-long Democrat I would encourage you to listen to the other side and seriously consider their opinion. Agree or disagree, that is your right. Open your mind, listen, know where they stand and why they feel that way. Then, question where you stand and why you feel the way you do. It might trigger some real thinking. Andy has chosen to write a book and to do a lot of other things to help spread the word about important issues.
Andy Kirkwood – How do you get that message across? People do some extreme things don’t they to get them across.
The other day I read about an activist in Arizona who scaled a tall building without ropes or a safety net to bring awareness to the pro-life movement. People do all kinds of crazy things to draw attention to their causes. Andy has taken a more traditional path toward getting his message out.
Andy Kirkwood – The first thing you do is you talk about it and you tell as may people as you can…and they go an tell their friends and you start some kind of avalanche that way and then I thought about maybe just creating a website, Sanity, and having you know, what would you choose? Would you choose the way it is because the world is not all that great, or would you rather have it a different way and the difference between having it the way it is and having it the way it really works it turns out is not that great you don’t have to make much of a sacrifice for that; and then I started doing satirical standup comedy because then you have an audience and your making people laugh. There are plenty of comedians who have done that who can get a message across in just a couple of lines. Makes people laugh but then you go away with that piece of information. I started working for radio stations so I could have a wider audience and then it struck me that standing for the MP seat is a good way because you promote yourself from the audience when you are gritting your test listening to this garbage people up on stage are telling you because they don’t have free will. I you are a member of the conservative party you have to say what the conservatives say you can’t exercise free will and you get up on the stage and you can say what you think because you’re an independent and you say what you think…(Talks about his political party)….but what your trying to do is unravel a lifetime of programming they’ve put into you.
A bit of clarification is needed here. Andy is from the UK. Most of the issues he talks about in his book are global. His methods are universal but when he mentions the MAD party he’s talking about The Movement for Active Democracy (M.A.D.) An alternative British political party created by Andy that endorses the Swiss model of government where anyone can propose a policy and force the issue to a referendum if they can gather enough support.
Andy Kirkwood – Because of that a local paper said look we’ll give you a page so I started writing articles and then I started getting quite a following one of the teachers, local teachers at the school was using them for their general studies because everyone can see an issue my articles were seeing an issue and then suggesting a very simple solution and that basically was the journey there.
That’s a lot. Andy Kirkwood has put forth a herculean effort to inform people about all kinds of issues and get people to think and question the things we’ve been told all our lives. Why do we work five days a week and get only two days off. Why such limited recreation time? There’s a quote in his book that goes, “…ask a Frenchman to do a bit of free overtime and see what he has to say….Tell the Germans that they are only getting 4 weeks of holiday a year and check the reaction….maybe the Spaniards wouldn’t mind missing their famous siestas to help the economy along a bet?…”
I thought it was pretty funny because like I said Andy is from the UK and they work harder than most of their European neighbors but compare that with our lives here in the U.S. I was just talking about this the other day with my wife. The work-life balance here in America is insane. Four weeks vacation? Are you kidding 🙂 I could go on all day about this but it’s the thing I loved most about his book. You simply can’t put it down. It will fire you up and make you think. So he must be making a difference.
Andy Kirkwood – Of all the issues that I’ve addressed and suggested very simple solutions for, not one single one was addressed by the government, not one.
He has a theory about that so get ready and I need to warn you Andy and I are kindred spirits about much of this so it’s up to you to decide how you feel. Listen and give it some thought.
I do feel we would rather have a treatment for disease rather than a cure because it keeps people paying for drugs. He has similar thoughts about debt and government control.
Andy Kirkwood – The reason is because the government doesn’t make decisions. They follow orders and the people who’ve given them the orders don’t want them to solve the problems. They want us to be in need They want us to have things in short supply. They want us to be not quite able to make ends meet because that’s what keeps us on our toes. Once you give people the luxury of time they start thinking. So it’s all about control. Which is also why they prefer people to get married and get big mortgages and all that sort of thing because you’re so busy chasing your tail trying to pay everything you don’t have time think and who would you rather control, twelve guys who are single land have got loads of money and are going down to the pub to chat about the state of the county or rather control twelve guys who’ve got hug mortgages, four kids and don’t step out of line.
See what I mean. It’s a lot to think about. So let’s take a step back and look at our first issue of climate change. There has been a lot of talk and a lot of arguing about whether or not it’s even real. Much of it comes down to control – there’s that word again and I need to give you one more example from my own life. Recently my AC went out and needed to be replaced so as part of all that I got a cool new thermostat that comes with an interesting new feature — if enabled it would allow the utility company to turn it on and off at will.
Andy Kirkwood – Smart meters. Evil steps to control because they can turn your heating on and off as they choose remotely. Don’t get a smart meter whatever you do.
Is it an honest attempt to manage resources, maybe. Are you really trying to solve the problems at hand? It doesn’t feel like it and I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but you can’t deny some of the things he’s talking about. Are we seeing an increase in the domination of the uber-wealthy? Special interests? Maybe you feel like they’ve had their fifteen minutes. Maybe not.
Is it finally time to think seriously about global peace and shared prosperity. Can we really solve climate change and supply the world’s population with infinite energy?
Andy Kirkwood – Talks about Solving Climate Change using deep sea currents.
Write that down or better yet start talking about it and see if his ideas have merit. Put it to the test. If you are currently accepting the way things are without question, but in your heart you know that things are very wrong, then this book might be for you.
If you’ve come to the realization that governments’ inability to address problems might be deliberately disguised as incompetence or you want to live in a world where people decide on issues, not vote for strangers who are supposed to represent them, then have a look at The One Pill Fix, A simple cure for an ailing planet by Andy Kirkwood should probably be sitting on your coffee table.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Do you ever feel like you’re in a “push me/pull you” relationship with your partner? Are you afraid your relationship will end so you either hang on to your partner with everything you’ve got or hold them at arm’s length so it won’t hurt so much when it ends? When things aren’t going great, do you question if your partner is “the one”? Psychotherapist Sarah Murphy explains what is going on and how you can get your relationship on a healthier and happier path.

Welcome to “Healing From Within” with your host Sheryl Glick a Reiki Master Teacher energy practitioner, medium, and author of her newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening sharing messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul essence. Today Sheryl is delighted to welcome Judge James W. Tamm, author of Radical Collaboration which provides tools to increase your ability to work successfully with others and get the results desired.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect from Sheryl and her empowered and knowledgeable experts in their fields who share intimate and personal observations and evaluations as a means to improve the human condition and life personally as well as collectively, reaching for a higher level of awareness and higher consciousness as we explore the many aspects of thought and creation that influence life decisions. Each show helps us self-investigate, leading us to recognize we are more than physical beings and our energetic presence when addressed helps us know life in its infinite possibilities.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Judge Jim Tamm, author of Radical Collaboration an expert on dispute resolution and building collaborative relationships, mediated more than 1,000 employment disputes during his 25 years as a senior administrative law judge for the state of California. James is currently managing director of the international consulting firm Business Consultants Network, Inc. We will discuss how to figure out what your own defenses are and why you have them and then learn how to deal with defenses other people have. With an increased sense of safety, openness and authentic interactions become a pathway to improved relationships and greater happiness overall.
When Judge Tamm is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place event that may have signaled to him or others the interests work and lifestyle he might pursue as an adult Jim tells us he wanted to be a pilot a fireman and a lawyer and Sheryl laughs and says like a Vitruvian man you have lived all your soul dreams.
Judge Tamm tells us why he decided to write Radical Collaboration and how personal challenges or experiences played a role. He gives us a definition of what Radical Collaboration is. Radical is from the root word “fundamental,” favoring basic change as in the social structure. Collaboration means to work or act jointly, to labor together.
Since Radical Collaboration offers practical methods to improve your skills for building collaborative relationships and is well researched and has documented dramatic positive results, many businesses and corporations operating in increasingly complex global markets, it is necessary to bring consultants in to teach these methods.
Studies have determined that almost one hundred organizations reduced their conflict by an average of 67 percent over a 3-5 year period.
The ten most troubled organizations at the start of the project reduced their conflict by an average rate of 85 percent after three years.
Over a six-year period, individuals from nine countries reported they reduced their own defensiveness in conflicts by half and were 45 percent more effective at getting interest met in conflicts using the skills in Radical CollaborationParticipants also reported significant gains in their ability to build and maintain climates of trust.
Thirty years ago we coined the terms Red Zone and Green Zone showing between a highly conflicted adversarial culture (Red Zone) and Green Zone (a more collaborative culture) to denote the two ends of the spectrum in all human communicative experiences. In the second edition of the book we added something that we call the Pink Zone. It’s a more conflict-avoidant, passive-aggressive organizational culture that we believe has become the predominant culture within our client base today and probably in the corporate world in general.
We originally used Red Zone to refer to human behavior that’s fear-based and mostly defensive. It was meant to mark when someone was becoming reactive and acting out a variety of self-protective defensive behaviors. These Red Zone behaviors included both aggressive and passive aggressive mind sets that were self-justifying and often resulted in overly charged responses to the immediate situation. It has become clear that people understood the concept of fear-based defensiveness and almost immediately identified as active or passive but they did not like being lumped together with the opposite alternative reactive behavior. Conflict avoidant, passive aggressive people did not identify with the overt Red Zone behaviors and would describe their own behavior as Green Zone because they could not/would not see themselves as acting out Red Zone Behaviors. They believed anything other than aggression was cooperation. They resisted when we talked about Green Zone as effective behavior because they thought the only alternative to Red Zone behavior was wimpy, passive behavior that they assumed was the Green Zone we were talking about.
During the financial crisis of 2008 it became apparent to many corporations that to survive there was a need for effective collaboration. It became clear that they could not compete externally if they could not first collaborate internally.
Defensiveness arises out of conflict and is a remnant of troubling or traumatic events experienced usually in childhood. Understanding why and how it surfaces allows us to dispel the remnants of these feelings and engage in more productive interactions. Judge Tamm shares The Five Essential Skills to overcome defensiveness.
By understanding Collaborative strategies are not simply another business methodology many companies learned this the hard way when they tried to create teams without first teaching employees the skills necessary for effective teamwork. Many companies have developed all their employees for years to excel at becoming “star” individual collaborators Now with a change of policy they are supposed to think, feel and act like a team where their greatest accomplishment now might be to support someone else’s success. Without collaborative skills a team is just a group of individuals who each follow their own agenda.
TRUE COLLABORATION BEGINS WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL NOT THE ORGANIZATION.
WE discover that Individuals in the Green Zone convey an authentic, non defensive presence. The Green Zone gives individuals the attitude and a state of mind that allows them to focus their energy on creative problem solving. In an atmosphere free of intrigue, mistrust and betrayal, individuals have greater opportunity to realize their full potential.
THE FIVE ESSENTIAL SKILLS
- Collaborative Intention: Individuals stay in the Green Zone, maintain an authentic, non defensive presence, and make a personal commitment to mutual respect in their relationship
- Openness: Individuals commit to both telling the truth and listening to the truth. They also create a climate of openness that allows all people in the relationship to feel safe enough, to discuss concerns, solve problems, and deal directly with difficult issues.
- Self Accountability: Individuals take responsibility for the circumstances of their lives, the choices they make either through the action or failing to act, and the intended or unforeseen consequences of their actions. They would rather find a solution than find someone to blame.
- Self-awareness and Awareness of Others: Individuals commit to knowing themselves deeply and are willing to explore difficult interpersonal issues. They seek to understand the concerns, intentions and motivations of others, as well as the culture and context of their circumstances.
- Negotiating and Problem Solving: Individuals negotiate conflicts in a way that supports relationships and use problem solving methods that promote a cooperative atmosphere. They avoid fostering subtle or unconscious competition.
The right attitude, telling the truth, self-awareness, being accountable, and skillful problem solving make a difference, regardless of the nationality, culture, size or nature of the organization.
The ability of team members and organizations to handle stress, challenges, failures and changes in environment depends on the self-awareness and self-esteem of the team members and their ability to work compatibly as a team.
Example: At the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly Dave Hause has responsibility for managing alliances with Lilly’s manufacturing partners. Hause reports that when they are training people who work in alliances, they first use difficult case simulations that teams are rarely able to resolve. Then they teach them the Green Zone concepts and attitudes and have them redo the case. The teams usually do much better.
We discuss the signs that you or others are becoming defensive and how to limit the effects. First of all, defensiveness is not about protecting ourselves from other people. People get defensive because they don’t want to experience uncomfortable feelings within themselves. Getting defensive will temporarily block the feelings they don’t want to experience.
Psychologist Gary Chapin calls defensiveness secrets we unknowingly keep from ourselves. For example if Ron or Jim are leading a workshop or giving a speech and we fear we are not doing a competent job that fear can create considerable discomfort, we may unconsciously behave in ways that allow us to avoid dismissing or diminish it. This usually involves blaming someone else.
Remember that defenses are biologically based so defensiveness can be detected from physiological cues typically fight flight or freeze reactions. Defensiveness is so difficult to deal with because defenses operate independently of our conscious thinking processes. They are by nature autonomous cand unconscious.
Individual defenses emerged from each person’s history. They helped people cope with the created certain behaviors to defend themselves from fears of feeling insignificant incompetent , unlikeable or helpless. Without defense, coping with childhood and adolescence would have been difficult if not impossible. Some defenses children may have developed. If parents constantly fought, perhaps the way to defend oneself might be to stop listening so well. Maybe you couldn’t block out the fighting so you numbed down your emotions so you wouldn’t feel so much pain. As an adult you may feel less pain, anger and sadness by a limited range of emotion but also experience less joy, love and excitement. Or perhaps you learned to get sick as a defense so you would get attention and not feel ignored. Maybe, you learned to become sarcastic or withdrawn or to be passive aggressive. Some people chose to become confused. Some become withdrawn into silence. When faced with criticism that creates uncomfortable feelings some people tune out as a way of breaking contact rather than staying conscious of their uncomfortable feelings and dealing more directly. It is easy to see how and why defenses are created by difficult childhoods that include alcoholic or abusive parent, multiple divorces, or bullying situations.
But defenses are also learned in perfectly normal, everyday, average nontraumatic childhoods. One person may take the situation personally, another child may blow it off and not carry a traumatized feeling down the road. Looking at your own defenses is a necessary step towards overcoming defensiveness.
The first step towards overcoming your defensiveness is to become aware of when you are getting defensive. Defenses are created during events in your history. So we encourage you to engage in some emotional archaeology uncovering your own emotional history.
You can draw a Conflict Line. Focus on issues where you feel the most distressed. Visualize the significant conflicts in your life.
Here is an example of Conflict Lines. Born Age 10 Parent’s Divorce Age 12 Fights in School Age 17 Car Issue Age 22 Roommate Senior year Age 35 Father- In- Law Issue Reflect back on a time in your Conflict Lifeline when you were a child and less able to fend for yourself, a time when you were shamed, laughed at, ridiculed or bullied. Let yourself get a sense in your body as well as your mind.
Re Experience what you are feeling or thinking. Then answer these questions.
What were you feeling emotionally? Were you scared, confused, ashamed helpless , hopeless , humiliated or full of dread? What was happening in your body? Were you feeling a tight chest, shallow breathing, increased heartbeat, hot or cold, wanting to fight back, or a sense of rubber legs or impending collapse, wanting to run or stiff as in scared stiff? Was your vision or hearing altered in any way?
What were you thinking?
Were you confused, trying to make sense of why this was happening to you or what you did to bring this on, or did you freeze, with no thoughts at all?
What was happening to your energy?
Were you feeling aroused, activated energized or dead zombified numb f
rozen? How long did this change in energy last? Did you get help or fight back or just shut down?
What do you feel now as you look back on the scene?
Have there been similar situations in your life?
Look for repeating patterns or themes/ There are many signs of defensiveness.
Some are:
- Selective deafness
- Loss of humor
- Taking Offense
- High charge of energy in body
- Wanting to be right (No question about it)
- Flooding with information to prove a point
- Endless explaining Playing victim (poor me)
- Teaching or Preaching
- Rigidity
- Denial
- Withdrawal into silence
- Cynicism Sarcasm
- Making fun of others
- Terminal Uniqueness (I’m so special That doesn’t apply to me)
- It’s just my personality
- Not wanting to negotiate Blaming/shaming others
- Sudden onset of illness or accident
- Suddenly feeling tired or sleepy
- Being too nice
- Selective deafness
- Holding a grudge
- Fast Breathing/heartbeat
- Cold Clammy skin
- Hot sweaty skin
- Jumping to conclusions
- Tight stomach
- Speaking too fast
- Obsessive thinking
Creating A Plan to Combat Defensiveness Here are six steps for defeating defensiveness
- Take responsibility for yourself Acknowledge you are getting defensive
- Slow down—activate your senses outward (reactivate your whole brain)
- Feel your emotions and discover your underlying fear (Name your emotions and fears)
- Confront your negative self-talk (change your inner dialogue to be supportive
- Apply your unique action steps (counteract your specific signs of defensiveness)
- Appreciate, celebrate and start over (Appreciate your progress)
We might ask this question, “Do you build your relationships from the Red Zone, the Pink Zone, or the Green zone?” to further help us understand the zones and where we operate more effectively. If you discover that staying in the Green Zone helps you with the first essential skill, Attitude and Intention, you will become to focus more on why you become defensive and choose to develop the characteristics of being in the Green Zone more of the time.
A person in the Green Zone:
Takes responsibility for the circumstances of his or her life.
Seeks to respond non defensively.
Is not easily threatened psychologically
Attempts to build mutual success
Seeks solutions rather than blame
Uses persuasion rather than force
Can be firm, but not rigid, about his or her interests
Thinks both short and long term
Is interested in other points of view
Welcomes feedback
Sees conflict as a natural part of the human condition
Talks calmly and directly about difficult issues
Accepts responsibility for the consequences of his or her own actions
Continually seeks deeper levels of understanding Communicates a caring attitude
Seeks excellence rather than victory
Listens well
Sheryl says This seems like many people who have engaged in spiritual practices body work and intellectual awareness of the philosophers and leaders in history who have become aware of higher consciousness and sought to find enlightenment. It takes a great deal of time effort and consistency to develop the attitude and skills to be in the zone or as Judge Tamm calls it the Green Zone
A large part of the book deals with techniques for effective collaboration. Judge Tamm tells us about some and which technique will probably be used the most.People are constantly sending signals and everyone looks for signals from others. We are social beings and we pay attention to others for signs relating to our relationships and the intentions of others towards us. As social creatures, we use nonverbal cues such as expressions, gestures, distance, and tones, to manage our interactions with others. These signals impact our core emotions and have profound effects on our mind-set and risk assessment.
This all happens quickly beneath conscious awareness. Researches at MIT have developed portable recording devices that can measure many of these nonverbal signals such as how close you stand to someone else, your tone of voice, your level of energy, percentages of time that you’re speaking versus listening, speech timing and flow, and position of your body in relationship to others. The researches developed computer algorithms that can predict your persuasiveness based on these nonverbal signals. A lot of research demonstrates that credibility is dramatically reduced when tone of voice body language and content are out of alignment. These figures are representative of when collaborations are not going well and confrontation is building
The numbers commonly cited regarding the impact of a message in those circumstances are
Content (the words) accounts for only 7 percent
Tone of Voice accounts for 38 percent
Body language accounts for 55 percent
Quiet introspective overworked or overwhelmed people may not be as open as those who are more relaxed laid back and fearless or courageous and adventuresome or extroverted people.
An example in the book of Jim an executive giving a presentation to newly hired employees professing to be open but he is really is not shows us that If the executive is not an open person himself he also has concerns that the other party being addressed will take a lot of his time with their complaints about his new policies, While he says what is required of him during the speech, his body language may suggest something else and listeners will pick up this sentiment…I need to tell you to be open because that’s what I am supposed to say, but I don’t really want to be that open and I don’t want it from you either. Emotions play such a huge role in our social interactions that we can’t hide them. They leak out in our communications through tone of voice and body language. When they are inconsistent with the words of the message, they play a larger role in communicating the real message. Instead of saying what he was supposed to this executive might have said the following to his employees, “ I know that creating a mor open environment is going to be crucial for our success. I have a few fears of my own about that. I am a very private person so this will be a stretch for me. I’m a little concerned that I’ll get overwhelmed with complaints about all the changes taking place. But I also know that to become successful as we intend, its absolutely necessary for us to be able to share our concerns, to tell the truth, and to listen to the truth. So I am asking all of you to stretch a little to become more open with each other just as I make this commitment to you. This message will not be undermined by inconsistent tone of voice or body language because it is honest.
Judge Tamm might like readers to take away with them after reading Radical Collaboration the strategies for Building Collaboration.
There are ten strategies for Building Collaboration
Go first
Be open and direct about your intent to collaborate
Pay attention to responses
Keep talking
Forgive quickly (Respond positively when others cooperate)
Agree ahead of time on systems for conflict resolution
Conduct regular reviews and actively monitor relationships
Use graduated sanctions
Make a commitment to a higher ethical standard
Use Interest Based Negotiations to resolve any differences or disputes
We thank Judge James W. Tamm author of Radical Collaboration for sharing practical tools that will increase our ability to collaborate cooperate and reach solutions to many of the overwhelming problems in business family and personal relationships. As we have discovered collaboration skills are essential for today’s workplace and have never been more important.
In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within” we have offered an awareness for creating trusting cooperative environments, and transforming groups into motivated and empowered teams, as we increase our ability to work successfully with others, learn to be more aware of colleagues and their unique abilities and liabilities as well, and learn to problem solve and negotiate our way beyond the challenging events in today’s rapidly changing world.
Judge Tamm writes, “Parties are now engaged in the creative part of the process, trying to find solutions that will meet as many interests as possible. They should be tenacious about getting their interests met. However, since there are usually many ways to satisfy any interest, they should be flexible about how they get their interests met. Always look for mutual gains, If you find you have mutual interests, exploit them. If interests aren’t mutual then try to align them so they dovetail. It that isn’t possible, at least try to get your interests met without doing damage to the other side’s interests. The best way to end up with a good solution is to have a large number of options to work on…….To create a compliance-prone solution, you must address the needs of your partners, so give their problems just as much energy as your own. A rich source of ideas for solutions is objective standards such as industry practices, comparability studies and wage surveys. It seems having the tools to make decisions is as important as the environment of cooperation and good will that must be established in order to find fair solutions.”
Judge Tamm and Sheryl would have you realize that for larger groups working with complex issues and strong constituencies, the process may sometimes be lengthy and time consuming, but as always, and in the end, collaboration is found through willing it so, and trusting the plan for success when all parties finally begin to remember there is a way and will for success, if we let go of doubt fear and seek unity.
Sheryl Glick host of Healing From Within and author of the newest book in her trilogy A New Life Awaits, Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit encouraging collaboration acceptance and surrendering to what’s best for us all ultimately …not very different from Radical Collaboration. Sheryl invites you to visit her website www.sherylglick.com to read about and listen to leaders in the fields of metaphysics science medicine spirituality human development and evolution law education and the arts and music seek ways to refine our thoughts and achieve greater awareness, higher consciousness to improve the quality of our lives personally and collectively, Shows may also be heard on www.webtalkradio.net and www.dreamvisions7radio.com

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Henry Ford
“Stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/jic0WZLQMHgCheck Out These Highlights:
Wow, what an essential quote from Henry Ford!
If we stop promoting our business to the world, we will stop growing!
This quote hit home for me. When COVID hit, like many, I had zero income and no idea what would happen to my business. Pretty darn scary!
In March 2020, I was faced with the exact situation my quote outlines. I knew I had too many blind spots relating to the digital world and media to ignore and learn about.
So, with no income coming in and using our savings, I spent 10s of thousands of dollars to educate myself on potential next steps.
Spending that money made me physically nauseous, yet I knew I needed to move forward for personal and professional growth.
Does this sound familiar to you too?

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – John D. Rockefeller
“Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/GgeargS82XMCheck Out These Highlights:
I have been saying for years that good truly is the enemy of great. When things are good, we often choose to stay where we are because after all, things are good. As soon as things start to go bad, ah, then we are more motivated to make a change or start on a new path.
For me this show is about this exact quote. My hope is that my show allows you to see and hear new strategies or options that you may have not realized existed and have been hiding in your blind spot.

Join me in this podcast. Allow me to guide you in a mindful practice to recognize within yourself calmness and how to use that calmness as an anchor when unexpected events occur. Think of an emergency or an unexpected occurrence. You may have taken classes or training to learn how to handle surges of unforeseen circumstances or emergencies. And you may have had to repeat the activity yearly so that your skills are sharp and you respond quickly and appropriately to the sudden change of events. The training aims to help participants recognize situations and prepare them to react calmly and efficiently. The same goal applies to learning to use your breath as an anchor during difficult situations.
During our session today, we will practice recognizing the eye of the hurricane and paying attention to the calmness of the hurricane’s center. Then we will use that imagery and link it to the practice of keeping the picture of the eye in our mind. The eye of the hurricane is our center; it is our anchor to concentrate on the breath. The breath is our anchor to calmness. With the breath as our anchor in the center of a stormy situation, we will be able to see difficult situations from a new perspective and not allow ourselves to become the hurricane.
It happened folks, Corn Pop didn’t show up but the State of the Union address went forward in an excruciating slow progression with some uncalled for shouting and very disturbing lies. Luckily it was one of the least listened to SOTUA in many years. But Doc Hollidaydoes cover the address with some clips from Tucker Carlson and one from U.S. Senator Ted Cruz. If we don’t laugh about some of this speech we will all be crying about our country’s leadership. You need to listen to this show so click on right now!

In this session we place last week’s topic of letting go in the center of a much larger process called shifting. Shifting is what we can do when we recognize that things are going wrong or in an undesirable way and we need to turn it around. Steps and homework practice are included.

Use a powerful and fun exercise to help you discover and clarify your strengths. Doing so, coupled with the work we did last time in helping you discover the Inner You, allows you to develop a higher level of consciousness regarding the real you. This greater self-awareness leads to greater cognitive, quality decision-making for yourself.
In this episode, the Crone & Sage have an interesting discussion about another concept talking about what makes up a Great Work as part of The Path Tradition. The featured Witchstone Card is the last physical concept card which features a Spider Web. We offer up a simple spell to use while Stirring your Coffee to draw something to you or push something away. Finally, this week’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint focuses on how your physical body is a microcosm containing the four Physical Elements and Spirit.
As humans, we are both fascinated with and afraid of perfection.
Here I go into why this is and how we might look at “perfection” in a different way.
Using personal experiences, I present the difference between “striving for perfection” as opposed to making “flawlessness” the goal.
Be prepared to be amused by the outrageous characters, their mishaps and goings-on and the gentle humour extracted from the book Naughty Nonsense, Lascivious Limericks and Much More by David Ellis.
Who are these characters? They include the forger, the glutton, the cheat, the drunkard, the proud, the greedy, the slothful, the unfaithful, the exhibitionist, the sex-mad, the dominatrix, the cougar, the transsexual, the transvestite, the masochist, the homosexual and many more.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Are you ready for a good laugh? I know i am but I do need to warn you that today’s show is a little racy. Here’s a sample….
David (Sexy Shorts) A sex hungry farm girl named Kay, would take a new lover each day. When they said, “you’re a sinner”. She replied “No a Winner, every time I leap in the hay”.
That’s David Ellis reading a snippet of one of his new limericks called “Sexy Shorts”, one of the saucier segments of this new book.
David – First section, the longest is on sex).
Can you tell this is going to be a spicy episode of Newsgram….Hold on, spicy isn’t the best word to use, the best description for this episode is the title of his, Naughty Nonsense, Lascivious Limericks and Much More.
David – There’s alcohol, various vices, food , music and other arts, sports, oddities, politics, so it covers quite a watch.
Like many authors who found themselves isolated and shut in during the pandemic David put his creative juices to work writing and passing the time with an ear to ear grin at the crazy things going through his mind. Hey, this is fun. Can you see how infectious it is? David’s book is one of those items that you’ll probably want to keep out of the reach of small children — at least the first section about sex but topics range from light and frivolous to geography, politics and some more serious topics.
So it’s an enjoyable book for adults loaded with lot’s of Naughty Nonsense, Lascivious Limericks. Here’s one I think we can all relate to as it combines the elements of Labido with Curiosity and the Covid-19 Vaccine. It’s called the Old Man and the Vaccine.
David – David reads his poem, The Old Man and the Vaccine.
Hahaha yea it’s not viagra. His book has limericks about all kinds of different areas, like he said earlier, but since we’re on the subject of passion I’m going to take you back briefly to section one because you need to meet Desmond.
David – Young Desmond said I must confess I love to be seen in a dress. Add panties and bra and I think I’m a star so please can you call me princess? hahahah alright.
Because why not!? Let’s move on to the boozy section where we get to meet Jenny.
David – Ok. I’ll go on. A social young lady named Jenny was forever spending a penny. The reason is clear, she loves to drink beer and it’s just a few, no it’s many, haha.
Yes, Jenny does like to imbibe and she’s just one of the many characters he’s created. There is the forger, the glutton, the cheat, the drunkard, the proud, the greedy, the slothful, the unfaithful, the exhibitionist, the sex-mad, the dominatrix, the cougar, the transsexual, the transvestite, the masochist and many more, so if you’re up a bit of naughty fun I think you’ll enjoy the humor in this book some of it is a bit local. David was born in the UK and moved to Australia where he found the inspiration to write this one..
David – This is On Hot Weekends. On hot weekends on this sun-kissed land we flock in droves to our fine white sand and it’s into the water for a dip BUT be careful you avoid the rip, and that’s not all we have to fear white pointers might be lurking near. The Jellyfish and sandflies sting and seagulls steal the food we bring. Now if you want to take a nap don’t forget the slip, slop, slap, or you’ll be burned from head to toe and feel exhausted from the heat. A cafe then with an ocean view, you’ll wait for hours in the queue, And you’ll wish you had thought twice when you sit down and see the price. So when it’s hot I do not roam but stay in air conditioned room with beer and tele that’s the ticket watching flannel fools play cricket
Hmmm, a grumpy old man staying inside to avoid the sun’s rays and high restaurant prices, sounds like something I would do. So as you can see they aren’t all naughty and they aren’t all Limericks but they will all make you smile. David writes essays and some long form versus — those are mostly about Chess so here’s a quick peek at the chapter called Chess & Other Sports
Said that lowly ranked player John Cook, ”I’m particularly fond of the rook.
But it’s always the same,
At the start of each game,
I move them up and they quickly get took.”
David is now over eighty years old and he is showing no signs of slowing down. You have to love his zest for life and fun perspective. He is a former English teacher, a chess champion and a writer but not an artist the illustrations are particularly striking and I just loved them. They are pencil drawings of a cartoon nature and they will definitely get you to smile…Especially the ones in section one. They were done by an American woman named Rosie Di Wu based in Austin, TX and I put a link to a video that features many of them in the show notes. (Link to Illustrations).
Let me leave you with this one. It’s not in the book.
David – Said a Limerick writer named Dave, it’s fortune and fame that I crave. I’m much better than Lear but I’ll end up I fear, poor and alone in my grave.
Oh no, let’s hope not. Go get a copy of his book Naughty Nonsense, Lascivious Limericks and Much More by David Ellis. It’s not for kids but it is for pretty much everyone else.
David – Anybody who likes humor and anybody who is not prudish.
Haha, perfect. It’s like I said earlier, the Limericks are so addicting it might just inspire you to write your own and who knows maybe we’ll be talking about your book on the next edition of Newsgram, from Webtalkradio.com
Listen to David talk about his book on the Books on Air podcast or the Talking Books podcast with JT Crowley featuring a video conversation on Youtube.

This children’s book is the story of Tuesday, a fun-loving Bichon Cocker and her adventures. The author is a professional photographer. The collection of photographs in the book flows through Tuesday’s puppyhood, her life as fun loving, spunky dog, and then an aging dog. It has a fun story to tell with a rhythm of rhyme.
The author wrote the story as a sort of therapy to help her recover from the loss of Tuesday. Tuesday was not just a dog. She was a companion, a friend, and it turns out, the keeper of so many stories.
Going through all of the photographs the author had taken of the dog let the author relive a series of wonderful memories with Tuesday as the constant thread. Although Tuesday’s time on the Earth was short, she brought so much joy. The author hopes that by sharing that story it will bring some of that joy to you and your child.
The major theme of the lovely book is that pets enhance and make our lives happier and easier. A pet steals your heart and leaves you the better for having known them.

WARNING
Be prepared to be amused by the odd ways of the characters here portrayed in the first section of the book devoted to Limericks.
Be prepared to feel sympathy for their mishaps and trials.
But especially be prepared to be shocked by their goings-on and shenanigans – the forger, the glutton, the cheat, the drunkard, the proud, the greedy, the slothful, the unfaithful, the exhibitionist, the sex-mad, the dominatrix, the cougar, the transsexual, the transvestite, the masochist, the homosexual and many more.
However, also enjoy the more gentle humour of the later lengthier works set both in the UK and Australia which include homage to the Australian love of sport and the beach as well as a sad childhood tale.
About David Ellis: David Ellis has from an early age been a fan of British comedians (think Frankie Howerd and the Carry On crew) and their influence can be seen in this varied selection of his comic verses of over fifty years.He worked as an English teacher in England where he sought to encourage creative writing and an appreciation of literature, including poetry.
Well known in the UK and Australia as a Chess player, he has been West of England, Cornish, Kent and three times West Australian champion. He has competed in a number of Australian Open and Closed Championships with a best result equal 3rd. He has also regularly coached young players, including a to-be British Champion.

He plays piano and has been in demand as an accompanist – in collaboration with a junior choir he recorded a 45EP and years later recorded two CDs with a soprano, Willemina Foeken.
He is father to two children. His son is a champion Ultra- Marathon runner while his daughter has competed in a number of Triathlons as well as successfully representing Western Australia in both the Girls and Womens Chess teams.Get your copy of Naughty Nonsense, Lascivious Limericks and Much More by David Ellis on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

In, The Human Mind: A Psychological View of Theological concepts, I compare and contrast the scientific understanding of the human mind with the teaching of the Bible. In some cases, these two perspectives are very similar, such as in various aspects of child development. However, where positive psychology claims that the power to induce change lies within the individual, the Bible teaches that we can do nothing apart from Christ.
The book begins with the concept of belief, upon which the mind develops. Both Christian Theology and scientific psychology agree that one’s beliefs serve as a lens through which reality is perceived; and that humans essentially choose what they want to believe. As such, an individuals’ core beliefs serve as the foundation upon which their mind develops.
This book then outlines the various developmental processes of the human mind. Beginning with what is commonly referred to as the blank slate, through sensory integration and learning, humans first develop a concept of self-awareness and then a theory of mind upon which an individual’s identity is anchored. These developmental processes are discussed and form the framework of our understanding of consciousness. Finally, after establishing the relationship between mind and behavior, this book closes with the contemplation of the nature and development of the mind of Jesus of Nazareth.
You can get your copy of The Human Mind: A Psychological View of Theological Concepts on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

The book is a medley of easy-to-understand poems and more diverse, thought provoking ideals. It is wholly Christian poetry, but the author believes there is something for everyone although children would struggle to understand much of its meaning.
The main theme is to bring people closer to Christ and to understand what a relationship/friendship is like with him. It is a forward-thinking book ahead of its time.
The book is honest and begs to be read whether aloud or silently. Writing these psalms is an experience the author feels he will not forget. He gets great satisfaction knowing that someone, somewhere is reading the words meant to bless and nurture.
This offering is the third volume of poetry instalment and is part of a trilogy of poems/letters inspired by my loving Father. The author believes he has grown during his spiritual journey and this collection of peoms reflects growth and literary ambition to write credible but true to self.

People like the concept of change. The reality of it—not so much. But if your relationship isn’t growing, it’s dying. And it grows because either you or your partner are learning new things, having new experiences, and developing new habits. And if one of you changes, your marriage will as well. How you do this will determine its success. This is what’s behind the often heard statement, “We’ve grown apart.” How can you guide the outcome so it doesn’t mean the end? Author and Relationship Coach Louis Morris reveals why personal growth is critical for your relationship.
If you feel like you and your partner are on different life paths, Lesli can help. Please share the show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Father Nathan Castle is a Dominican priest who does extraordinary spirit rescue work with the blessing of the Catholic Church. His two terrific books, Afterlife, Interrupted – Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over and Afterlife, Interrupted – Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over – Book Two chronicle his fascinating work. He and the disembodied beings with whom he works have even invented a whole new set of protocols for doing what they do which are entirely consistent with what we know about the death process and the afterlife.
And the Catholic Church accepts all of this! But on the other hand, the Catholic Church does a lot more with spiritual things in general, doesn’t it, than the more straight-laced Protestants do. They do exorcisms, after all? This is Father Nathan Castle’s sixth Seek Reality appearance, and you can reach him at nathan-castle.com.
During our session, I will ask you to participate in a creative imagery activity to set the stage for the podcast. Join me as I talk about something constant. No matter where you live or how old you are, one consistent thing is change. This is an ancient saying from a Greek philosopher, and yet the saying has been included in many classes and lectures everywhere. What is your strategy for managing change? How do you perceive change? For some, rejection and loss are devastating. And it isn’t easy to join life again. This reflective activity goal is to help us realize that as we transition through changes, a door may be closed, yet a new one opens. Acknowledging our emotions as we transition and adjust to a new phase in life is essential. I share reflective, thought-provoking questions from the Positive Psychology activity called “Door Closed Door Open” (references Seligman, M. E. P. (2006). Learned optimism: How to change your mind and your life. Vintage Books). I encourage you to participate in the activities. Listen to the podcast first, if you would like, before doing the thought-provoking questions to reflect on experiences of reactions and emotions towards loss and rejection. The experiences of loss/rejections are periods when doors close.

Thank you for joining us on Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a deep disconnect from our spiritual essence or life force our soul awareness and guidance system. Today I once again welcome Elaine Clayton artist illustrator and Reiki Master teacher of intuitive empathic development. For those who wish to listen to former shows with Elaine please go to my website www.sherylglick.com on the radio page April 2020 Angels Fairies Guidance and Magic
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her extraordinary guests share stories and insights into the world of spirit energy and love in order to remember we are spiritual beings having a physical life for the purpose of recreating old stories and handling them in more advanced ways to improve relationships, refine our energy and move towards refinement of thought and action to create a world beyond the fears and limitations of human endeavors. We merge the duality of soul and physical life to create and bring Heaven on Earth.
In today’s episode of Healing from Within Elaine Clayton will share with us ways to see the unseen and welcome the mysteries of life through psychic events synchronicity and fun encounters. As we explore ways to understand empathy and use mystical spiritual and imaginative insight to better understand our place in the universe.
When Elaine is asked to remember her childhood and a person place or event that may have shown her or others the lifestyle work and interests they might explore as adults her grandmother immediately comes to mind as she expresses the delight her grandmother took in seeing her draw and her interest in artwork/ She remembers how her grandmother’s eyes twinkled with amusement and joy and how each drawing was as fantastical as the one before. So Elaine knew that every mark she made was precious to her grandmother. Sheryl says that that lovely memory is how she hopes her grandchildren remember her one day as she always provided the materials for art work and her four granddaughter all engaged in creating beauty as she was like Elaine’s grandmother and delighted with every movement and interest her granddaughters had.
Elaine decided to write The Way of the Empath at the present time because it was a way for her to share the tools and joy she herself had discovered from using her empathic gifts in a way to balance her own life and help others to understand the need to protect their sensitive energies by having boundaries rest time and simply fun in being alive.
Sheryl says she wrote her trilogy for much the same reason. Told by a medium that she would write three books for spirit she was highly skeptical but in short order she began journaling her experiences as she was also told to do and has seen how much has been discovered through accepting and surrendering to her destiny and God’s direction. In her new book, A New Life Awaits Sheryl writes,” It is quite possible we will discover the reason for venturing out of our original state of life: a spiritual, eternal world of Universal Energy and incarnate into this physical body, in a three-dimensional world. Many of the people I have encountered have suggested to me they would never have embarked on a physical life experience if they knew the pain and difficulties they would have to witness. But at the end of life, as a hospice volunteer, I have been happy to hear people on the brink of returning to their true form as soul beings express to me that life is good and beautiful. As mentioned in my previous book, The Living Spirit, as an answer to this dilemma, I wrote, “Each of us is presented with a series of life experiences and lessons in order to learn and benefit our own soul awareness. In fact, we choose these experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, because of the lessons we need to have, which were chosen by us with the help of our teachers in spirit before we were born into this plane. Each life is important, and at the time of passing, regardless of how easy or hard life was, the soul values the opportunity it has had to increase its emotional quintessence. We have memories of whatever was meaningful and valuable to us and bring it along to the next stage of life.”
Elaine and I are only sharing the miraculous view we have been able to download from Spirit with our empathic gift and making it easier for people to accept and live their dreams through cooperation with Spirit and loved ones.
Elaine tells us the following about Empathic sensing: the art of seeing the unseen and welcoming the mysteries of life through psychic events and fun encounters with yourself and others. Living as an empath means embracing the ideal of heart-centered intelligence by attuning to the experiences and well-being of others. Empaths seek to live a life of generosity through sensing and quiet knowing. This intuitive intelligence and his psychic clarity are the hallmark of “knowing from the heart,” the pinnacle of empathic knowledge.
An empath’s life is not an ordinary life. It requires the strength of a lion, because it takes real courage to be empathic. This form of artful living asks that you develop your imagination, your curiosity, and your consciousness in an extraordinary way that you discover how your perceptions guide and inform you, how they shape you and, at times, challenge you. It encourages you to step into your own innate role as creator and work to bring compassion and an open heart to yourself and others.
We are all sentient beings somewhere on an empathic spectrum, feeling our way toward deeper knowing and seeking, toward compassionate understanding and intuitive awareness. Some are born with an innate sensitivity to their surroundings and those in its proclivity that allows them to feel the presence of life energy in the atmosphere around both people and objects. Empaths sense the unseen, the energy that lies between and within the physical and material. Some develop empathic sensing through life experiences, perhaps by witnessing the suffering of a loved one or possibly through challenges like early childhood traumas that may spark ultra-sensitivity derived from emotional or physical danger. These experiences may cause some to be more compassionate because they have felt so much themselves and are able to see their own experiences reflected in the conditions of others.
With a guiding hand The Way of the Empath shows us how to put yourself in a state of receiving and awareness. By putting yourself in a state of openness and allowing yourself to feel and know all emotions trauma and experience rather than shielding yourself from these difficult experiences a desire to cultivate a heightened sense of empathy and empathic awareness grows and is a very spiritual and worthy undertaking, one that encourages the imaginal aspects of our creative natures to guide us to a balanced and meaningful life. The duality of our existence means that we cannot avoid highs and lows in our lives. We all struggle as individuals to thrive despite the challenges we encounter. But we can learn to go through these experiences with a desire to feel them and an aspiration to understand them. With this understanding comes the potential for transformation and a sense of wonderment about the beauty in humanity. When we enhance our relationship with our higher selves by expanding our consciousness, rather than living lives in which we move from one reactionary episode to the next, we make room for deeper empathic connections with others. And we begin to create the life we’d most like to live.
Taking note of synchronistic events and signs and learning to protect yourself is important to the empath, Natural empaths are “sensitives” who have a genuine intuitive intelligence that allows them to feel the emotions of others as if those emotions were their own. Because they can easily sense the emotional “atmosphere” of a person or place, they are susceptible to the emotional, psychological, mental, and physical energy in the people and objects around them, and they must learn to cope with that. Some choose mystical paths and methods to help them cope, because they are generally open to sensing what is not visible, that is, energy. In fact, all natural empaths have an innate ability to sense spiritual energy, and to be accepting of it and oriented to it. Empaths don’t need practical proof of everything. They don’t rely only on material or physical “reality” for knowledge and meaning. Thus, empaths whether their sensitivity is innate or acquired live their lives as a quest for the spiritual and a desire for the transcendental. They seek to become mystically attuned, inspired, and healed.
Sheryl tells of being at a Broadway show when she was 17 years old and hearing the song “The Impossible Dream” and knowing she had to go where others were afraid to go, even angels, and explore all the realms of here and beyond to find out Who we were? Where did we come from? And what a physical life and soul life was about in reality and in energy.
Elaine suggests that many perceptions are based in beliefs and societal mores, family attitudes and not always what is true or best for each individual. Until old traumas, fears and limitations are released, we are not free to change or create new perceptions of our desired reality and to know the greater truth of Universal Source or being. Empaths like everyone else need to recreate themselves using their intuitive knowledge and shedding the past but to do that and Because empaths carry within them an inclination to love unconditionally, it is important to understand that there is no love without self-love. Those who lack self-compassion or patience or self-forgiveness cannot reflect authentic strength in fellow feelings. Self-love is the starting point of empathy. Empaths feel love easily; they see beyond the personalities of others and connect instead with their soul essence. But without self-love, self-respect, and self-forgiveness, they may find themselves bereft, exhausted, or feeling worthless; they may end up in a struggle with the self-loathing facet of the ego that dominates the thinking mind.
As an artist Elaine accesses intuitive knowing through creative drawing and journaling. Elaine writes, “The space between us is sacred. It is the approach, the port, the inhaled breath before the word is spoken. That space holds our intentions, the choices we are about to make, our hopes, our longings, our fears. It is the place where the next miracle will unfold. Through empathy, we can fill that space with clarity and the presence of compassion. We may sense a separation between ourselves and others, but with empathy and compassion, we acknowledge our shared humanity and our common existence. We recognize that we are alive together at a specific point in time, and that we have a lot of power to bestow love, to bring goodness into our shared experiences. How we treat one another becomes, ultimately, how we treat ourselves.
This truth is perfectly expressed by Rabbi Evan Shultz in his 2021 work, “A Poem Using Book Titles in My Library.”
In every generation,
In every tongue, A time to speak.
Like dreamers Stepping forward, Restoring hope,
A passion for truth. Shared dreams,
American values,
Religious voices,
Political tribes,
Tough choices,
Broken tablets. You’re more powerful than you think!
To bless the space between us.
As Rabbi Shultz so gracefully assures us, empathy makes our lives so much brighter. It makes us feel as if we are in a wondrous celebration at times. When we approach others with room to go beyond our egoic sense of pride, competition, and labeling, we fill the space between us with benevolent thoughts and compassion.
Elaine tells us of the mental processing of intuitive-empathic impression. The mental processing of intuitive-empathic impressions usually occurs after the initial gathering of emotive energy rather than in the moment. Through repeated experience, empaths develop a response mechanism that envelops on-the-spot compassion and combines it with kindly self-containment. They learn not to be so influenced by the hurt or even the agendas of others, that they don’t get swallowed up or swept away by them. Because they are sensitive, they are susceptible. When empaths are moved by the words or experiences of others, when they react immediately with mercurial feelings of empathy, they can easily lose themselves in the exchange and make themselves vulnerable. The feelings of others can become theirs and be felt within their own physical being.
Elaine writes, “If I go to a party, everyone’s energy slams me. I feel this person’s tension and that person’s anger and that person’s wish to forget pain. I can tell when someone is holding back and I easily get uncomfortable. I start feeling all this and, before I know it, it’s as if they’re my own emotions. Yet, when I arrived, I was feeling fine. rather than in the moment. Through repeated experience, empaths develop a response mechanism that envelops on-the-spot compassion and combines it with kindly self-containment. They learn not to be so influenced by the hurt or even the agendas of others that they get swallowed up or swept away by them. Because they are sensitive, they are susceptible.
Empaths are caught in a daily storm of varying emotive sensations, even in the most casual of exchanges with others. For them, events that anyone else may consider meaningless and forgettable may seem significant. Reflecting on these empathic storms, in which they are inundated with the emotions or thoughts of others, can help them cope with the residual feelings that may surface for them once the interactions have ended and the cloudburst has subsided. This time of reflection helps empaths review their impressions and find their own place for centering again. It helps them to clarify for themselves what they felt during an encounter and try to understand why they felt it. This takes time, but it is time well spent, because it keeps empaths from getting layered with residual emotions to the point of breaking down. When empaths do end up immersed in the energy of others, whether they want it to happen or not, they must then deal with the consequences.
Compassion, empathy and intuition heal your world. Once empaths develop pivotal awareness that allows them to empathize without taking on responsibility for the pain or predicament of others, however, they can more easily manage these emotional onslaughts. By becoming conscious of what is happening while it is happening, and acknowledging that they don’t have to soak it all up in the moment, they realize that the woes they are encountering belong to others and not to themselves. This makes them stronger spiritually, and enables them to be strong for others as well, offering care and listening without being inundated energetically. Instead of drowning in the downpour of impressions, they become able to connect with others through heart-centered healing energy and prayers for their well-being. “When I was a teenager, my mother told me every time I spent time with this one friend, I came home in a terrible mood. I realized I was juggling all of the feelings and energy of that person and that a lot of it was negative. It was going directly from her into me. Sometimes I’d have anxiety from so much energy coming at me. I had to get away from that.” It is not an empath’s job to rescue anyone, although most empaths have tried and perhaps many times over.
But empaths are at their best when for others as well, offering care and listening without being inundated energetically. Instead of drowning in the down pour of impressions, they become able to connect with others through heart-centered healing energy and prayers for their well-being.
Elaine writes, “When I was a teenager, my mother told me every time I spent time with this one friend, I came home in a terrible mood. I realized I was juggling all of the feelings and energy of that person and that a lot of it was negative. It was going directly from her into me. Sometimes I’d have anxiety from so much energy coming at me. I had to get away from that.” Empaths must realize they are not the grand overseers of others’ lives. Nor are they the personal consiglieri of others, although they may very much wish they could help heal those they care about, even those who may try to draw them into every personal drama. Most empaths learn sometimes the hard way that they cannot manage or heal any adult life other than their own. Once they discover ways to take ethical action using their empathic skills without getting enmeshed in the sagas of others, they become more stable and are able to enjoy the many wonderful aspects of being empathic.
Synchronistic events, signs, and mysteriously interesting happenings are what empaths live by and for, even when doing everyday tasks. For empaths, that which is material, physical, or concretely fixed is not just solid mass, because even inanimate objects carry some kind of energetic vibration. Empaths get a surge of energy from everything. For them, objects give off a frequency and a quality of personality that is deeply felt and cannot be ignored. They often attribute human qualities to objects, playfully “seeing into” or even “seeing through” whatever they encounter at any given time. They also know when something feels “good” and when it gives off an unpleasant vibe. In fact, they are spiritually psychogenic toward objects they handle or use.
An example: But how do these impressions arise? “I wanted to enjoy browsing in the antique shop, but found myself in a soup of disturbing feelings, as if I sensed all these people who h/0ad lived and died. There were heavy sentiments attached to the antiques. I had an overwhelming feeling about each thing I laid my eyes on, not to mention when from everything these, objects give off a frequency and a quality of personality that is deeply felt and cannot be ignored. They often attribute human qualities to objects, playfully “seeing into” or even “seeing through” whatever they encounter at any given time. They also know when something feels “good” and when it gives off an unpleasant vibe. In fact, they are spiritually psychogenic toward objects they handle or use. But how do these impressions arise? I touched things. It wasn’t that this was negative energy, but it was all just too much to take in. A silver sable brush or some old oval mirror, a tool chest made of oak—all the objects in the place just weighed me down inside. It was as if I felt the lives of all the people who had used those things and I had to get out and breathe fresh air.”
Empaths receive what may not be visible or immediately obvious to others through a “sixth sense” the mind’s eye, or third-eye visions. They pick up on this wave of feeling, which is often sensed as psychic imagery, internalizing it all and projecting their perceptions back outward. In fact, they “see” in ways that are quite like the way we see when we dream, when our physical eyes are closed. Empaths may receive input from this sixth sense all day long.

They pick up on this wave of feeling, which is often sensed as psychic imagery, internalizing it all and projecting their perceptions back outward. In fact, they “see” in ways that are quite like the way we see when we dream, when our physical eyes are closed. Empaths may receive input from this sixth sense all day long seeing color, details of rooms or spaces, features of landscapes or places, and all kinds of people and animals. These third-eye visions are at times like seeing “through a glass darkly,” and at times as clear as if seen in broad daylight.
Elaine tells us that although empaths may appear to be focusing on events or circumstances in the moment, such as in group conversations, they may also be inwardly seeing what is unfolding on a completely different level on a screen in their minds. They may be listening, but also sensing strongly what is left unsaid, what is felt beneath the surface of people around them. They may be watching the aura of light around others or picking up on some inward sadness that goes unnoticed or appears irrelevant to most. Empaths continually see these mental images these flashes of colorful and impressive visions as information streams in their minds that enter through the third eye or in other forms. This kind of seeing and sensing, without the use of the physical eyes, is most common during the dream state, in which scenes arrive and change in a multi-dimensional or multi-faceted way. In fact, paying attention to dreams is one way we can develop empathic knowing
Seeking wisdom through dreams, signs, and synchronicities is really fun because, when you are open to the expectation and anticipation of these events, you are delighted when you recognize them happening. So much is possible once you develop a strong companionship with your imaginative subconscious self. Often, the line between sleep and wakefulness blurs and you begin to see elements from inside a dream during the day sometimes unexpectedly. Empaths often remark on how exhilarating this can feel when it happens.
Some signs that empaths say they notice regularly include:
- Cardinals. “It is my grandmother saying hello.”
- Coins. “I found one in the shower as if it came out of nowhere!”
- Feathers. “I heard an owl outside my window. In my mind, I asked it for one of its feathers. The next day, while walking the dog in the backyard, I found a huge owl feather beside a tree.”
- Repeating numbers (3:33, 11:11, 2:22, etc.). “Every time I look at a clock, it’s 3:33!”
- Ask for signs out loud, with the expectation that you will receive them.
- Look for signs like a child on a treasure hunt.
- Get outside in nature with the intention of appreciating every little growing thing.
When I woke up, I asked for a sign that would verify what the spiritual robe in my dream symbolized—that I would come through okay. Later, I went to an art class where the teacher picked up an artist’s smock and said: ‘I’m going to put a robe on you.’ As she put it on me, she explained that it was the most special smock she had ever owned. The fact that she called the smock a ‘robe’ sent a little shock of delight through me. I knew instantly that it was the sign I was looking for.” There are a lot of ways to open yourself up to synchronistic signs.
Here are just a few:
- Pay attention to numbers, coins, feathers, and other random objects.
- Pay attention to names, titles, car license plates, etc. as if you’re on a magical journey.
- Notice things that others say.
- Open a book at random and point to a word with your eyes closed, then find meaning in the word. ·
- Journal any thoughts and impressions you have; jot down synchronistic events so you remain in the flow.
Elaine might like readers of The Way of the Empath to take away with them after reading your book that there are many ways to connect to people and explore our human as well as divine spiritual gifts.
Elaine writes, “Sensing what is felt in others and caring empathically about it is, in many ways, the fiber that connects us to one another in our humanity. However, the professional roles people play for example, roles in which they may not be given to seeing beneath surface projections or may never feel inundated with the emotions of others are valuable as well. People get amazing things done and can benefit others greatly without necessarily having an empathic orientation to life. They may be doers-of-great-things and movers-of-mountains; they may be scientists or technical geniuses. They may never immerse themselves in empathic sensing, or they may not come to it until later in their lives. But the world is in need of all kinds of talents, actions, and improvements. And we all have unique gifts and skills that have their own value.”
We Elaine Clayton author of The Way of the Empath for all the beauty she brings into the world through her art her Reiki Healing gifts and this book which most sincerely describes and honors the lives of those whose destiny it is to serve humanity by developing and using their empathic abilities to add a new perspective to the unfolding of everyday events.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Elaine Clayton has shown us that to be an empath is an art form—to discover how our perceptions and feelings guide and inform us, shape us and at times limit us and this requires extraordinary awareness. It takes great courage to walk the path of an empath and to learn how to use spiritual, mystical, and imaginative insight, but, learning ways to protect yourself while living with an open heart is a lifetime experience and one that is not in the least bit boring. Empaths experience synchronicity and coincidences, messages from Spirit that help lead them to use their soul heart centered intelligence in ways that protect, serve, and change old beliefs, as they grow into their awareness and higher consciousness.
Elaine writes, “Cultivate Imagination The imagination is very important as a spiritual conduit and as a creator of human connection and fulfillment. Our imaginations seem to create a momentum that puts our wishes into action on the material plane. The infinite dimensions of possibility invoked by our imaginations help create an intuitive structure, like building an ethereal castle in the air that ultimately engages with the physical world. In fact, the imagination is where it all happens! All good things exist in our minds as ideas first, before we help manifest them on this plane of existence. Cultivating our imaginations is integral to living creative lives and fundamental to living an empathic life.”
Elaine and Sheryl both empaths who have explored the world of spirit and physical life, always trying to merge and use all the awareness and guidance through our duality for best results in our personal lives, and then to share this energy of love and healing, in being observant and helpful at times, discovering that life is a great gift and living it as you have uniquely created it, is being in alignment to the universe and spirit and that was always from the beginning of time the purpose of life.

In this podcast, I explain the concept of liberty and how it differs from freedom. But liberty or freedom do have some limits that are defined by social norms, moral laws or the rule of written laws. However, liberty must be equally applied to all people in order to be fair and just even if the laws as not. This message will clarify these things is a simple and hopefully memorable way. Enjoy.

As each new year rolls around, I reflect on what the new year will bring. What skills do I need to continue to develop, and what are my goals for the coming year? As I age (of course, I’m still 39…lol), I realize how many blind spots I have and how much I still get excited about what I will learn.
This quote hit a cord with me. I truly live my life from the perspective of adding value and making a difference in the world around me. Can you imagine if we all approached life from a place of giving and growing? WOW, magic happens!

Was it a trial balloon, a weather balloon, a spy incident, or what? Last week No Borders Biden once again showed the American people that he just doesn’t care about our national borders. On this week’s show Doc Holliday uses a clip from Fox News’ Laura Ingraham to help everyone better understand just what a joke this administration has become when it comes to our national borders. And just who is our national border czar? If you do not know who that is then you need to click on now and find out!
What does it mean to believe in something? Today I use examples from everyday experiences, bonafide science, and my personal observations. In the end, everyone must come to their own conclusions. It is all very personal.
In this segment we discuss how to clean up the things that are holding you back, between you and others and you and yourself. Then we outline the steps to letting it go.

In this extra, we cover a few basics about Candlemas, which some Witches celebrate as a Sabbat. On The Path, we celebrate it as a season which starts now and continues on until Beltane in May. It is a time associated with the Element of Fire and is often celebrated in some way involving candles. For us, it is the Season of connecting with Creativity & Inspiration.
The Author
Andy Kirkwood is a British writer who today lives in Swanage, a small south coast town on the Isle of Purbeck, within view of the Isle of Wight. Born in 1957, Andy’s profession was as an electronics engineer. At thirty Andy elected to travel the world, completing three circumnavigations and was shocked to witness first-hand the ravages mankind was inflicting on the natural environment that we all rely upon for life.
In the 1980’s, long before most note-worthy scientists, and even before it had a name, Andy foresaw the cataclysm of climate change that was fast approaching. Since then Andy has campaigned on environmental issues, financial inequality and free speech, performing politically orientated stand up, writing published articles in the press and standing for Member of Parliament on four occasions in attempts to awaken people about these and many other issues.
Thirty five years on, seeing that not one single issue has been adequately addressed, lead to the realisation that governments do not have the freedom to act in the best interests of the people they are supposedly speaking for, and that the democratic process is itself a sham.

What do you do when you discover your world is in trouble?
The One Pill Fix is a multifaceted book outlining Andy’s personal journey of discovery where he witnesses the world in trouble, employs diverse attempts to awaken the people to their unseen plight, searches for, and finds, solutions to many issues, subsequently realises that all efforts are fraught as governments are not acting in the peoples best interests but are controlled by hidden powers with personal agendas of control and financial gain, and discovers the ultimate single solution that would solve everything at a stroke, claiming it to be the next step on mankind’s evolutionary journey that we must take if we, and our world, are to survive. He calls it The One Pill Fix.

THE AUTHOR
David Ellis was born in the Scilly Isles off the Cornish coast of the UK. Growing up on the main island of St Mary’s the largest of the isles, summers were idyllic, carefree, especially as WWII which had destroyed large areas of Europe had recently come to an end. Frolicking on the beaches and splashing in the water was a child’s haven, but all good things come to an end. Time to grow up.
David’s satirical wit which is prevalent throughout his book stems back to the quirky British sense of humour especially the Carry-on Films that dominated British comedy in the Sixties and Seventies.
David worked as an English teacher in England where he sought to encourage creative writing and an appreciation of literature, including poetry.
In his early thirties in pursuit of romance he emigrated to Australia. Alas that romance fizzled out, but he stayed in Australia. He presently lives in Perth with his partner and has a grown-up son and daughter.
David has a love for Chess, he’s well known on both the British and Australian Chess circuit, he has been West of England, Cornish, Kent and three times West Australian champion. He has competed in several Australian Open and Closed Championships with the best result equal third. David also coached up and coming young talent including a to-be British Champion.
For twenty-eight-years David has been a Chess columnist for the West Australian newspaper, and in 2001 received the Australian Chess Federation Medal for outstanding work as a chess correspondent, the year after he received the Queen’s Australian Sports Medal.
As an accomplished Pianist David has worked in collaboration with several junior choirs and has recorded two CDs with the soprano Willemina Foeken.

This book is a selection of comic verses from fifty years. Fifty years of life’s observations brilliantly captured by David in these satirical ditties, odes, some rhyming, some free verse but nonetheless hilarious.
When you open the book, David gives you a warning:
Be prepared to be amused by the odd ways of the characters here portrayed in the first section of the book devoted to Limericks.
Be prepared to feel sympathy for their mishaps and trials.
But especially be prepared to be shocked by their going-on and shenanigans- the forger, the glutton, the cheat, the drunkard, the proud, the greedy, the slothful, the unfaithful, the exhibitionist, the sex-mad, the dominatrix, the cougar, the transexual, the transvestite, the masochist, the homosexual and many, many more.
However, be prepared to enjoy the gentler humour of the later lengthier works set both in the UK and Australia which include homages to the Australian love of sport and the beach as well as a sad childhood tale.
I must confess I laughed myself silly reading some of the varied comic verses. Rosie Di Wu’s illustrations are wonderful.

In this podcast, I explain the concept of liberty and how it differs
from freedom. But liberty or freedom do have some limits that are
defined by social norms, moral laws or the rule of written laws.
However, liberty must be equally applied to all people in order to be
fair and just even if the laws as not. This message will clarify these
things is a simple and hopefully memorable way. Enjoy.

Mark Gober started out as a buttoned-down Princeton graduate in the corporate world, but he has written a series of wonderful and eye-opening books on consciousness and related fields. This is his sixth Seek Reality appearance. Mark’s first book was An End to Upside Down Thinking – Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness, and the Implications for Everyday Life. He followed that terrific book with An End to Upside Down Living – Reorienting Our Consciousness to Live Better and Save the Human Species. Mark’s third book was An End to Upside Down Liberty – Turning Traditional Political Thinking on Its Head to Break Free from Enslavement,and since we don’t do politics on Seek Reality, we had to take a pass on that one. But his fourth book is right up our alley. It’s called An End to Upside Down Contact – UFOs, Aliens, and Spirits – And Why Their Ongoing Interaction with Human Civilization Matters.Mark’swebsite is markgober.com.

Today’s quote actually made me pause and reflect on my own business journey over the past 21 years and knowing where I was going was not always clear or easy to define!
I know for me as a business owner, finding the next step is important yet I have also learned that moving forward, even if a misstep is still good and allows for easier shifts and pivots. It also allows for learning and defining what is working and what changes are needed along the way.
So is there an easier way to grow a business using goals to support long-term solutions that stick?

In this session we talk about the actuality of making a declaration and how often when we declare (not ask, hope for or wish for) we must be prepared in two ways: 1. we get to be prepared by mentally and physically clearing our space to be able to receive or be open to that result manifesting, and 2. we get to prepare ourselves to receive what the “universe” answers us with – as opposed to how we think it ought to be. Sometimes we get far more than we hoped for!

President Biden tapped the Stragegic Petroleum Reserves last summer and fall and just happened to stop pumping our oil supposedly stored for national emergencies just after the mid-term elections. Why was it a national emergency then and not now? When will our nation get its strategic reserves replenished? Have the democrats painted themselves into a corner? What should be done to keep inflation from raising its ugly head again? So many questions and no one seems to care much about this most important subject, But you can hear about it here on Rock Splitting Politics!

Welcome to Healing From Within with host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of the newest book in the trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Globals Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not economic political or societal but a deep disconnect from our inners soul connection to higher consciousness. Sheryl is delighted today to welcome Andrew Michael Esq. author of Soul Pals; Keep Your Eyes on the Rise who uses story and animal characters Soul Pals to illustrate the environmental and cultural challenges facing earth and its inhabitants and to posit a solution to those challenges-raising consciousness.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate and insightful stories and events that help us become aware of our soul essence and eternal life force that works in cooperation with our physical life and when Universal Laws of Energy are practiced and observed in all interactions and events, it becomes possible to secure a more productive prosperous and healthy life experience. It is in the knowing, not the doing, that we fulfil our soul’s mission to create and manifest the best possible outcome no matter what the challenges are. In our search to understand life we take a metaphysical scientific and spiritual approach to ask age old questions: Who are we? How did life begin? And What happens at the end of a physical life cycle?
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Andrew Michael Esquire author of Arising Soul Pals shows us that Earth is in peril. Severe droughts partch some areas while torrential rains flood others: gargantuan wildfires consume whole territories and freakish ice storms crash on city grids. These and other environmental stresses are flaming human conflict and harming our health and the well-being of the animal kingdom. We will explore these environmental and cultural challenges facing Earth and its inhabitants and try to find viable solutions by raising consciousness and encouraging hope. Andrew describes Soul Pals and as a modern day Aesop exposing his view of the Earth in peril through severe droughts rains floods wildfires ice storms and other environmental stresses flaming human conflict and inflaming the health and well being of the animal kingdom.
Andrew was inspired to become an environmentalist perhaps by knowing that there are many sentient beings in the animal and plant queendom and they must be appreciated for teaching us all about those living in nature. The practice of acknowledging creation is derived from the spiritual practice of being grateful, appreciative and understanding we are all connected at some level. Shamans Mayans Indigenous People Catholic Franciscans Jewish Kabbalists mystics Hindus and Tibetan Buddhists all together are “Thundering Grace,” reigning down inspiration for many of the Soul Pals.
The positive and negative side of acknowledgment is the power to manifest form and reality. Ironically ignoring a certain reality re-enforces the ignored reality and produces more to that you are ignoring. Incomplete positive thinking can expand negative responses. In the negative whatever is resisted actually persists affirming and producing whatever is not liked.
AMP (Acknowledgement Manifest Perception) Be the Cause, cause Reality
In Andrew’s experience, some of the most pressing threats to our environment are not fully appreciating the elements: water, earth fire and air and how we are affected by changes to these life necessary forces. Water; we can’t live without it, and thankfully much of the Earth is made up of it. Yet we face major problems where the life-sustaining liquid is concerned. While there is technically enough freshwater available for all 6.8 billion of us, one-fifth of the world’s population live in areas of physical water scarcity. Vast improvements in infrastructure are required in order provide freshwater to areas which remain without, but also to ensure continued access in the face of widespread pollution, wastage and drought.
The degradation of water quality not only poses supply problems for our population, but also has a huge, inevitable impact on marine life. Whether it’s through storm water runoff from cities or farms, dumping from industry, or ill-regulated efforts to drill for yet more oil (more on that later), we’re increasingly filling our rivers, seas and oceans with toxic pollutants. From dolphins to coral, life in our seas is suffering tremendously. The Pacific Ocean is famously home to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, while the Gulf of Mexico has a sizable patch of nothing at all — a dead zone resulting from the travels of farmland fertilizers down the Mississippi River. And what happens at sea doesn’t stay at sea. With pollutants entering oceanic ecosystems, they invariably pollute our food.
Deforestation has long posed a threat to our Earth. Forests cover 30 percent of the planet’s land, and provide vital protection from sandstorms and flooding as well as the substantive natural habitat for wildlife. They are one of our greatest resources for offsetting some of our outrageous carbon emissions and without the canopy we leave areas vulnerable to intense heat, further driving climate change. Yet every single year we lose an area the size of Panama.
We’ve all heard it before, but really, we need to stop destroying and start replanting. There are incredible instances of ambitious efforts to replant our woodland areas, from a man in India, Jadav Payeng, who single-handedly planted a 1,360-acre forest, to the South Korean founder of Future Forest, Kwon Byong Hyon, who has led desert tree-planting efforts throughout Mongolia and China.
With forests often cleared to make way for farmland, and worldwide consumption of food expected to increase sharply by 2050, both sides of that particular coin desperately need to be addressed, which leads us to… Food production comes with a hefty carbon footprint, with damage caused by deforestation, the use of fertilizers which pollute our water, and pesticides which kill our bees. And, as we noted, food demand is expected to rise sharply — the Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that by 2050 a population of 8.9 billion will eat, on average, a diet with 340 calories more than the 2000 average of 2790, other studies posit that our food demand will double by that same date. Some of this projected increase is attributed to an expectation that areas which currently have inadequate access to nutrition will see improvements in the coming decades, a huge, important and challenging development.
But as we expect to produce more food to meet the needs of a growing, hungry population, we can expect to see a corresponding increase in our carbon footprint. One recent study called for a 50% reduction in meat consumption by 2050 just to keep emissions from the meat industry where they are now. But at our current rate, we also waste an estimated 30 to 50 percent of all food produced.
Huge changes are needed in agricultural infrastructure to stem this wastage. Lower cost imports of big ag’s often genetically modified crops are causing domestic produce to go to waste in developing countries, and misguided policies are causing food aid to go to waste. But while changes must be made in how we farm and how we then sell that food in order to ensure that the right amount of food is grown for supply food where it is needed, there’s also a great deal of progress we could make by simply avoiding unhealthily oversized portions.
Urban farming initiatives make a significant dent in both food environmental concerns. By converting urban areas into fruitful green spaces, food can be grown directly in the community, provide food security and serve as a hands-on educational experience on where our food comes from and how it’s made.
On a related note, pink slime and tuna scrape are not food, they’re vaguely edible by products of the food industry, laced with chemicals to reduce the chances of poisoning us. They’re by no means the only examples; there are plenty of items finding their way to our plates that in no way should be in our bodies. And that’s wrong on so, so many levels.
ENERGY
In the US alone we’ve made the Gulf of Mexico toxic with oil, we’ve caused earthquakes in the Midwest while fracking for natural gas, and we’ve blasted the tops off mountains in Virginia looking for coal. In the course of turning non-renewable resources into energy we’re releasing all manner of toxic gases into the atmosphere, driving climate change and creating a hazardous environment for all living beings.
The fact that we’re destroying the planet for a short term quick-fix of energy resources that will run out is a pretty good reason to give pause and change course. Yet massive corporations wielding immense political strength continue to drive increased, fundamentally experimental and ill-regulated fossil fuel sourcing missions. Deepwater drilling off the Cuban coast, anyone?
Steps to regulate drilling, fracking, mining and their ozone depleting emissions are certainly a great thing, but it’s time, if not well past the time, that we move wholeheartedly into renewable resources. This year has seen incredible progress in both policy, innovation and adoption of renewable resources, largely solar and wind power. But there’s still a long, long, way to go. The Great Lakes of the US and Canada have the potential to provide power for 210,000,000 homes, and as the US seeks to expedite the approval process for wind farms, we still have to design better turbines to adequately protect wildlife.
There’s a lot we can still do on an individual level to reduce our energy usage, and corresponding responsibility for fossil fuel usage and the generated emissions. Simply switching to LED lightbulbs can cut energy usage of lighting a home by a third. It might not sound like much, but — as with so many easy, individually adopted earth-saving measures — when replicated across a large area it starts to make a very significant impact. Plus, the bulbs are getting cheaper!
TRANSPORTATION
While studies show young people to be driving less, many of us still aren’t going to be doing without cars any time soon. As long as urban developments are built to be un-walkable (we’re looking at you, Apple and your new Cupertino Campus), we’re going to have to find a way for everyone to be able to get from a to b and back again without destroying the planet. As it stands, the Environmental Defense Fund estimates that a full 20 percent of US greenhouse gas emissions come directly out of our tailpipes.
Fuel efficiency is on the up, albeit rather belatedly, with the most recent data suggesting that carbon dioxide emissions from new cars sold in the UK has declined 31 percent since 2007. But we’re invariably better off with the ever improving hybrid electric technologies, and the recent New York Auto Show marked the release of some pretty incredible extended range vehicles. As this technology improves, the cars can only be as green as the grid they draw their power from. It’s one thing to steer clear of gasoline, but even better when we can avoid emissions generating fuels altogether.
Similar emissions-reducing advancements are much needed in the aerospace industry. A coordinated project by the biggest manufacturers to develop affordable biofuel technologies for planes is an encouraging move in the right direction, but as we’ve seen, emissions from agriculture are nothing to get too thrilled about. That said, the whole not-driving idea is also pretty great when one has the chance. And if you’re in an area with exhausting inclines, such as San Francisco, electric bicycles still carry a far lower carbon footprint than many alternatives.
WASTE
As a growing population, we have a lot of stuff. From consumer electronics to clothing to diapers, a worrying proportion of our ‘stuff’ is made using finite resources, with environmentally destructive practices only to be used for a relatively short amount of time before being tossed into landfill. And if you’re reading Inhabitant, chances are you’ve thought about this at least once or twice in your purchasing practices.
The use of reusable and recyclable coffee cups, shopping bags and other ubiquitous items is increasing with widespread awareness of wastage and availability of alternatives. But there are always ways we can do more to use less, use better, reuse and recycle. Mining for metals commonplace in items from consumer electronics to jewelry causes widespread environmental destruction, polluting water and releasing greenhouse gases into the environment. And many of these metals, when used in consumer electronics, still often find their way into landfill, allowing lead, cadmium and mercury to seep into groundwater.
In the instance of consumer electronics, 17 states have taken steps to mandate recycling, but where recycling is not municipally provided, it becomes of even greater importance to take the initiative within our own communities. And for items which don’t need to be new, or disposable, we can keep on recycling, upcycling, salvaging and transforming.
GLOBAL WARMING Everything on this list above is a contributing factor in global warming, and yet we still have elected officials who argue that it isn’t ‘real.’ A poll recently commissioned by Yale University brought some refreshingly reassuring news, as the majority of participants agreed that global warming was worsening an increasing stream of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Earlier this year, surging seas presented evidence that with sea levels predicted to rise 20-80 inches by 2100, 3.7 million residents are at risk from flood waters. Meanwhile scientists looking to the past found that naturally occurring carbon emissions drove the end of the last Ice Age — and that uptick in emissions was far lower than our current surge. Yet we still, absurdly, have politicians who as part of their campaign strategy insist that carbon dioxide emissions do not pose a threat to our environment.
So as we all work towards a greener, more sustainable future, adopting responsible practices to lower and eliminate emissions of all greenhouse gases, it’s time for climate change deniers to finally give in to the evidence.
Andrew tells us why he chooses for most of the characters in your stories to be animals. Play Pals are to create and amp your life. These characters are colorful and powerful. Because Soul Pals are intriguing, they are memorable and able to be transformative. These pals are verbal, visual, musical and emotional cues to rise. You absorb the best in them to be your best. With Soul PALS your life can be about playing at ease.
In the story each character is called a Pal. A Pal from each story is a bridge to the next story with each episode in the upward spiral. The Altitude of characters rise as a player’s “Attitude” can rise to a higher level of consciousness. The core of magnification: acknowledging what you love and having confidence in what you would like more of in your life is possible when you acknowledge thinking and seeing, feeling, and hearing which now grows to become how you live in the future.
We start with the story of The Octopus’s Magical Garden (OMG) which is under attack from environmental pollution caused by Increased Shipping. A Pelican meets Octopus after his mother ventured out to deal with a recent Oil Spill and never returned. Then Pelican bathes in Egret’s Lagoon which is not yet infected by environmental change and they chat as friends. Egrets are present everywhere as with African Elephants Egrets are a calming force for the elephants Next we meet the Rhino native to Northern India and along with Elephant and Hummingbirds mingle with people in the forest but Rhino is in danger as rifles are pointed at him. There is danger for All. The Octopus Magical Garden OMG is an opportunity to offer Practical and Useful Solutions The Octopus has an intelligent predictions that turn true just like intuitive or psychic people
Conscious Attributes are confirmed by 50 notable Scientists in Cambridge Declaration on consciousness.
The arising stories and characters face facts that are true to them as well as to others. It is said that in the end is in the beginning and this circular cycle is true in Arising stories. The Whole is in the smallest of parts: one DNA code holds the blueprint for the whole being. A drop of water when magnified shows elegant crystal patterns and a leaf reveals miniature pathways that mimic grand watersheds where all rivers flow into the ocean. And in this book we begin with the Pelican that dives into the Octopus’s Magical Garden. The pelican was defiant as oil washed tar harmed the fish and birds. Brownie as the pelican was called wanted to correct this situation but died in the process. A pack of wolves took up Brownie’s cause and gave life a chance decreeing, “United we stand, Divided we fall”. The egret was next and the egret’s motto was, “Don’t regret, egret.” A Cycle of Care has been completed between the Soul Pals in these stories.
In the stories we see how each character is connected in ways that support life for all of them and so Soul Pals are energy beings who interact and contribute either to the advancement of all or harm themselves and others. In these stories the hummingbird elephant rhino hippopotamus and Mamba Patrol are members of the Jade Brigade.
These star characters or soul pals have 3 important qualities;
- Heart -EQ (Emotional Quotient) Love and Compassion
- Intelligence IQ Intelligence Quotient
- Courage WE-Q Whole Experience of Respecting. Courage to do the right thing with All: everyone and every being in all situations.
With the power of these 3 qualities on their migration path the characters Rise to the challenge Reach their goals while protecting themselves family friends and their homes. As Soul Pals we learn if you can feel it see it and experience that to which you Aspire the future eventually becomes the present and you can manifest and live what you imagine. Albert Einstein once said, “The imagination is a preview of things to come.”
Andrew’s book makes the case for raising consciousness as the means to fight climate change and the destruction it is causing since these stories are based on facts about people, culture, animals and the environment. When we ask certain questions, we see the synchronicity and continuing forces that make life either work well or not.
For example we may ask,
“Why have pollinators stopped pollinating plants to grow.”
“Why have so many bees died in recent years?”
“Why do elephants continue to migrate to Lake Chad even though it has shrunk to a mere puddle?” ((Now 5% of size it was 50 years ago)
Why do deeply held cultural and spiritual beliefs determine the life and death of elephants and rhinos, Not food Not water Not villagers or farmers, herders Not even rifles.
Your book is full of acronyms. What is it about acronyms that is so compelling? An acronym is a pronounceable word formed from the first letter or first few letters of each word in a phrase or title The newly combined letters create a new word that becomes part of everyday language. Using shortened forms of words or phrases can speed up communication. Explore the useful shorthand with these examples of acronyms.
Some popular acronym examples are:
AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
ASAP As soon as possible
AWOL Absent without official leave
IMAX Image Maximum
LASER Light Amplification by the Stimulated
Emission of Radiation
Ordinary citizens can help in the fight for climate change and the destruction it is causing. Andrew suggests an example of the Mamba Patrols Mission, that protects villagers and elephants and is trained and equipped by the African Park Organization to protect the elephants and surrounding communities from poachers. These patrols have been outfitted with military equipment and technology to have a fair chance against these violent bands of poachers. Prince Harry from England funds the Mamba Patrols in three African countries. Sadly, the demand for elephant tusks and other wildlife who live at the shoreline near bodies of water have also sadly declined. With the loss of life for animals, 10 million people whose work is derived from the water industry has made it nearly impossible for the people in those areas to prosper.
Sheryl says “We will get a lot further toward solving the problem if we focus on solutions rather than continuing to highlight the problem,” Chissell says.
Project Drawdown recently put together a report highlighting 30 behavioral solutions ordinary people can take to combat climate change. The top three include wasting less food, adopting a plant-rich diet and consuming less energy and water.
Readers of Arising Soul Pals might want to take away with them after reading Arising Soul Pals that We all face people with power trips and political games from people at work, in our communities, and even in our family. An example is a Legislator and chair of a committee that oversaw a $50 billion budget was particularly frustrated. It had been two years of explaining and educating others about the importance of a proposal and wide implications for the way priorities had been determined in the budget. This year, he had received the necessary votes in both chambers of the legislature and all that was needed was the governor’s signature. He received a letter from the governor denying the legislation from going into law. It was at this point he brought the crocodile smile and the acronym derived from the word crocodile to focus his attention on getting the bill passed even though it had been rejected. Here is the acronym describing the qualities necessary to support determination and persevere against any negativity in achieving your goal to pass legislation that improves life for the animals and protection of the environment. The key here is, like the animals, we must use all of our skills to survive and never quit.
Calm

We thank Andrew Michael Esq. for sharing his book Arising Soul Pals to show us how arising stories and the qualities of animals may achieve a world of compassion and action to realize a globe of healthy people, animals—all sentient beings and a rejuvenated earth and all of its ecosystem.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within, we have discovered the PALs you have met and will meet, demonstrating how to apply the PAL concept, some PALs you might like, and others you may not. In the end, what is most important is you create or adopt PALs that best work for you. the best basic formula for forming your PALs is described this way: First, a problem or challenge is identified for an opportunity for growth. Next, a PAL for whom you already have a special feeling toward is chosen. Then this pal is Applied to the problem, by simply focusing on a picture of the PAL and thinking about this being. Gradually, the repetition of this visual image, its associated word meaning and feelings you experience when bringing this PAL to mind, will liberate you from a thought that has limited your ability to lead your life as you desire.
P-roblem
A-pplication of an AMPed PAL
L-iberation
Whatever PAL you work with, whether it’s a person, animal, or object, it should bring about some special feeling within you, and these feelings can help transform and bring about your desired attitude and actions, making the world one that works in harmony, peace, and balance, and leads to better lives for the sentient beings on the planet.
Andrew writes on the cover of his book: “Rising from the depths of the sea to the heights of the sky in altitude and attitude. Finding ‘deep perceptions (deeperceptions)’ to replenish the positive and diminish negative.”

Emotional exhaustion is not new, but it is getting some much-needed attention after the last several difficult years. And emotional exhaustion is to your heart and soul what physical exhaustion is to your body. In other words, not good. How can you identify it? And, more importantly, how can you address it in a positive and productive way? Psychotherapist and author of The Emotionally Exhausted Woman: Why You’re Feeling Depleted and How to Get What You Need Nancy Colier offers a path forward.

Welcome to “Healing From Within” with your host Sheryl Glick, Reiki Master Teacher and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening, which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Dr. Rosie Ward, author of Rehumanizing the Workplace which will reinforce the need for leaders to remember that everyone thrives in environments where they feel cared for, safe to create and innovate and part of an organization’s shared purpose.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect over the years, Sheryl and her guests share intimate observations and realizations of the true nature of a physical and energetic life experience and ways to know ourselves merging the needs of the heart and mind, so we may become our best version of ourselves, helping us to find peace, love and happiness, in a world of many challenges.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within,” we will through the information shared by Dr. Rosie Ward begin to realize how our rapidly changing world is becoming increasingly complex and disruptive. While it also brings many opportunities for innovation and the improvement of the human condition, it also triggers people to operate from a place of scarcity and self-protection. This can lead to disconnection and eroding well-being on both the organizational and individual level. We will discuss the Five Rehumanizing Principles we can put into practice to foster a more sustainable future.
Rosie responds to Sheryl when she asked her to think back to her childhood and remember a person, place, event that may have signaled to her or others the values, interests, work and lifestyle she might pursue as an adult and says, “I love that question.” She explains to Sheryl that since she was very young, friends always came to her for advice and support, as many used to lean on her mom, who was a psychologist, so it seems, she was following her mother’s path in wishing to help people by listening to their challenges, and by hoping to now as an adult, call attention to the changing needs of our workplaces and to support a more loving environment at those facilities so we may all grow and evolve into healthier human beings. Healing is needed at all levels and places we work as there is not a moment where we don’t need to be accountable and responsible for growing into the loving souls we already are.
Rosie tells us about her becoming aware of the problems in organized businesses which have not supplied their employees with all the resources to be most productive and happy. Dr. Rosie Ward tells us of the 5 Rehumanizing Practices that can help foster a sustainable future. They are as follows:
Build a Lighthouse: Much like a lighthouse can help cut through the fog and provide clarity for where to go, having a clear purpose and having strong core values can help to do the same. Businesses that are emerging stronger in the face of Covid-19 now have a clear purpose most people feel connected to, which would be a stronger family unit, more cooperative work situations, more appreciation for health, use of free-time, enjoyment of nature, travel, and protecting our planet. Businesses and families have operationalized their core values into clear behavioral anchors that they live by, and leverage that clarity to be flexible about how they serve that purpose. We have to shift from surviving to how we effectively serve our company purpose in a different world.
Create Fearless Environments: The VUCA world inherently brings some discomfort as it demands we do things differently. However, we can only adapt and grow when people feel safe taking the risks required to do transformational work. Research from Harvard professor Amy Edmondson has found that organizations that are intentional about creating psychologically safe environments are more responsive and resilient. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that responsiveness and resilience are critical for organizations to thrive in the midst of disruption.
Wade In The Messy Middle: Change involving humans is complex and evokes discomfort. When we are facing incredible adaptive challenges ( those with no known solutions that demand a complete shift in our mindset) we have to be able to operate differently. This means we need to do the inner developmental work to move from self-protection to self-reflection and then shift our thinking and the stories we tell ourselves: we can’t hit fast forward. The leaders that are rising to the occasion during this pandemic lean into the discomfort and invest in their own development to show up as conscious leaders. We can’t make the adaptive leaps our VUCA world demands of us without intentionally developing ourselves.
Show Up As A Leader: Leadership is a “behavior,” not a title or role. In fact, work from Keyhubs on mapping human networks within organizations has shown that the greatest talent and influencers within your organization are usually not sitting high up in the organizational chart. We need EVERYONE to show up as a leader and make a positive difference. Successful businesses create the conditions for everyone to feel connected to the company purpose, speak up and rally from their own resourcefulness , they call everyone to greatness to behave like a leader.
Find Your Tribe: As a species, we’re hardwired for connection. Social distancing shined a light on just how resourceful people can be to leverage Zoom and other platforms to stay connected. Conscious businesses include the people in decisions that impact them and don’t operate in silos: after all people only tend to support what they’ve helped to create. These businesses are also intentional about creating a structure for people to check in with each other and be in community: they build and nurture relationships.
Rosie and Sheryl might consider how the world is different in light of Covid-19 and possible benefits as a result of a tragic plague to the world.
Sheryl says that she is aware this time and the challenges the world is going through at all levels of life experience, the home, the workplaces, the schools, and businesses, are part of a spiritual revolution that affect businesses and employees, as lockdowns and working from home while having the children at home all the time has provided a way to renew universal values and spiritual awareness of how precious are the people we love and the time we have together. Our technological advancements, social media and the internet have put our humanity and peace of mind, health and quality of life, in jeopardy and many are aware that while there are possible aspects to these technological advancements, there are also dangers. Maintaining open channels of communication personally will always be more valuable than emails and texts, and in these hard times we may come to appreciate FaceTime which allows us to use technology in the best way by seeing our loved ones in a lockdown. Now in these changing times due to economic and health concerns, we must find the balance and return to the core values of what really empowers a person or a business to be effective beyond fear and dysfunction.
So what are those core values?? Rosie tells us that knowing that work plays a vital role in our health and well being, makes us evaluate how to use that knowledge at this time in history. It becomes vital to rethink the workplace and what people need to live happy and healthy lives, in relation to the many tragedies of recent days. We know that the vast majority of people are unfulfilled and removed from achieving their full potential at work due to many flaws in antiquated systems. We are in need of new disruptive models that challenge our conventional thinking and instill a sense of humanity at work. Rehumanizing the Workplace is just that—a powerful blend of research, inspiration, and actionable steps for the changes our workforce needs.
“The bad news for employee health is that the workplace was recently declared the fifth leading cause of death in America.” There is no question that the health of most working people across the globe has been declining at a steady pace for years, and there is no end in sight to this unfortunate trend. Traditional worksite wellness programs have not proven to be the solution. So what’s next? Rosie lays a foundation for creating workplaces that help people thrive, not just survive. Rehumanizing the Workplace takes the reader on a guided journey that, if followed correctly, will create an employee experience that can improve the well-being of people and organizations.
Humanizing the workplace is the greatest imperative of our times. The fact is that our work is literally killing us, when work should be one of the greatest joys and pleasures of a life experience. We must realize that work is the foundation for self-esteem, confidence, and personal growth. When seen correctly and positively, it may be as helpful as our family life, our leisure time, our charitable pursuits, and our spiritual evolution demands we recognize this fact. Recently, our government has paid our people to stay home, incentivizing a lack of love and respect for work. This needs to change, all work needs to be valued. If you have to sweep the floor, sweep the floor to the best of your ability and enjoy it. Do it well, it might be a stepping stone to building your character, your soul development, and to loving life.
Heart attacks are significantly higher on Mondays as people may have anxiety about leaving the sanctuary their homes provide on the weekends. In his book Dying for a Paycheck, Jeffrey Pfeffer estimates that one hundred and twenty thousand Americans die every year due to stress connected to work. It is not the work itself but the ways in which we lead, manage, and organize companies that results in all the suffering. An estimated seventeen thousand Chinese die every day from overwork. It doesn’t have to be this way. We don’t have to hurt people or kill them in order to make money. As we show in our book The Healing Organization, quite the contrary: workplaces where people physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially thrive are far more successful workplaces by every measure.
How did the workplace become so dehumanized in the first place? It has to do with how we think about business. Many people think of business as a jungle in which “survival of the fittest” is the cardinal rule. “Kill or be killed.” Some treat business as a dehumanized machine with inputs like physical capital, human capital, and financial capital and outputs like profits and products. Some have reduced business to a math problem, seeking to maximize one thing—shareholder value—while treating everything else as a means to that end. Still others treat business as a game in which you make multiple bets, hoping that some would pay off.
Sheryl says that having had eight careers, she feels herself to be most fortunate to have enjoyed all the experiences, people she met, and people she helped, to realize that work often helps build self-esteem, self-confidence, and a greater appreciation and gratitude for every minute of life. Bringing smiles and joy along with treating everyone at work as a family member, helps to make us one people, and one humanity, supporting our spiritual as well as providing the sustenance to fulfill the physical needs of life.
The fact is that business is one of the most human things that we do, and it impacts our lives as human beings in so many different ways. Rosie attributes these harmful ways of thinking to an excess of masculine energy in the world of business. Adam Smith wrote An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, which laid out the foundational principles for how free markets operate and how individuals pursuing their self-interest will result in many, if not most, of our needs being met through businesses. But Smith also wrote The Theory of Moral Sentiments seventeen years prior to The Wealth of Nations. In that book, he elaborated on our need to care for each other, without regard to self-interest. In a sense, capitalism had a mother and a father, and both were Adam Smith. Unfortunately, we ignored the mother energy—his message about caring—and focused only on the father energy—his message about pursuing self-interest. Today, there are two things hidden away in the corporate closet. The first is unexpressed love. Human beings have a deep need to express their caring for each other, and most workplaces do not allow for that. People are expected to put on their mask and armor and go to battle in the marketplace. The second thing that is hidden in the corporate closet is silent suffering. Life is difficult; people are carrying around enormous burdens as they go through their workday. We need to allow both of these things to come out of the corporate closet. Our innate need to care can help alleviate much of the suffering that people are experiencing in life and in the workplace. By allowing this to happen, we can greatly enhance the amount of joy that people experience at work, which to me is the ultimate expression of what it means to have a fully humanized workplace.
Sheryl says the above ideas offer solutions to the untenable problems that have been exasperated by personal and corporate greed, and the mantra “I’m fighting for my life,” attitude that has supplanted the attitude that “I am a healthy, loving individual that goes out into the world each day to share the blessings of living cooperatively, with my fellow citizens, making them like friends and family, a divine part of my life experience.” Beginning to understand that competition is mostly a personal need to improve yourself rather than to use your ideal of who and you’re becoming in referencing other people. Other people have their needs and life path, but if businesses allow each person to be the best and improve themselves and finding joy in all they do, understanding that there is no perfection and that failure is always part of the journey to success, we will all come to realize that cooperation at all levels of business and life are the keys of success and not raw competition creating dissatisfaction, unhappiness, envy, and greed.
It is important that we come to know who we are and how to use that wisdom to improve our health and levels of happiness.
Rosie writes, “What does it mean to be human? We are divine beings, worthy of being treated as such by each other. We are the only creatures with imagination, a moral compass, and free will. Each one of us has such extraordinary potential that it is hard to conceive of any limits on what we can achieve. Businesses refer to human beings as a resource, but we are not a resource. Human beings are the source, capable of unlimited amounts of caring, creativity, and innovation. But if people are treated as resources, they become that. They get depleted and they burn out, just like lumps of coal. The human seed has never been more potent; people today are more intelligent, more educated, better informed, better connected, and more caring than ever before. But the soil around the human seed remains toxic. Most workplaces do not enable human beings to operate at their peak potential and deliver the gifts they were born to bring to the rest of us. To take the analogy further, we can use seeds in different ways. A seed can simply be used as bird feed, or it can be used to start a whole new forest. Too many of us are being used as bird feed.”
Rosie uses the abbreviation VUCA to explain how businesses have functioned in the past and compare it to how ships function at sea. Businesses have long operated like ships at sea. A single captain is responsible (in name) for everything that happens on the ship; and a small handful of officers oversee key functional areas like navigation, cargo, or propulsion. Meanwhile, a large number of sailors labor away at the day-to-day tasks required to make the ship actually work. However, the seas are “Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (also known as VUCA).” Some days, sailing is smooth; but many days, crew and cargo are tossed about the ship as humans work against the awesome power of nature. Sometimes, the VUCA sea even triumphs over the ship, and the sailors are thrown to the mercy of the elements—their only hope is to find a path toward calmer waters or an island that might offer shelter and sustenance.
If there were to be a shipwreck, all the sailors would have to adapt to new experiences and survive in a new way, and work together. But one member of the new-paradigm group stepped forward and called out to the other sailors, suggesting they all work together. After all, everyone shared the same vision of surviving and thriving. This would allow the sailors to create a new fearless environment where they could take a risk and where candor was embraced—and expected, and they would survive and thrive. This is what we must do in the business world: allow our workers to see new possibilities and discard past restrictions that limit individual, personal growth.
This wasn’t about being right; it was about working toward a collective vision to ensure that everyone could thrive in their new surroundings.
Many are observing what seems to be a society in decline. According to Margaret Wheatley, we shouldn’t be surprised. In her book Who Do We Choose to Be?, she describes the pattern of collapse of complex civilizations and suggests that our current dehumanized state is completely predictable. She cites the work of Sir John Glubb who studied thirteen empires all experiencing their decline and fall in the same stages over a two[1]hundred-and-fifty-year period (ten generations). With each stage, there is an increase of materialism; as this happens, morality erodes and the civilization declines into decadence, exhibiting the following characteristics:
- Money replaces service as the core motivator.
- Hierarchical leaders focus on maintaining power at all costs.
- The future disappears from decision-making.
- The status quo is preserved by the few elites who prosper
- Relationships disintegrate into distrust, self-protection, and opposition.
Wheatley suggests that our current civilization is in a state of decline. Just look at what is happening in our society with our politics and me-focused celebrity climate. Consequently, we see these characteristics reflected in our workplaces as well; it’s no wonder that we are seeing the ill effects of these dehumanized workplaces.
Sheryl says to Rosie “we are witnessing exactly the above progression of decline in America and perhaps throughout the world.”
We will be seeing the nature of jobs change greatly as technology replaces many people in the workforce so what must we do to combat this trend?
In his 2017 TED Talk, David Lee, VP of Innovation and UPS Ventures at UPS, discusses the role of technology and how it is replacing jobs at a rapid pace. He makes a bold assertion for how we can avoid a jobless future. He suggests we need to take steps now to change the nature of work—to create environments where people love coming to work, and to foster the innovation needed to replace the millions of jobs that will inherently be lost to technology. David believes that the key to doing that is to “rediscover what makes us human and to create a new generation of human-centered jobs that allow us to unlock our hidden talents and passions that we carry with us every day.” He argues that we need to move away from machine-like, task-focused jobs to focus on the skills that people bring to work. However, this new reality can also bring great opportunities. For example, by leveraging technological advances for more machine-like tasks, we can free people to grow, create, and innovate. We need to create the conditions to leverage the creativity and capability that only humans can provide to solve challenges that a VUCA world brings. Besides, “the tolerance” for dehumanized workplaces is shrinking. People are craving better work–life harmony, meaningful and purposeful work, and the ability to show up authentically human. As Erica Keswin writes in her book Bring Your Human to Work, “People are no longer willing to accept work as a soul-crushing, Dilbertesque, cubicled nightmare.” We don’t want to be treated like machines; we want to feel valued as human beings.
Rosie wants readers to take away with them after reading Rehumanizing the Workplace that the good news is that there is a revolution already underway where organizations are operating more like the new-paradigm sailors and breaking the mold of “business as usual.” They are creating psychologically safe work environments and finding success by honoring what it means to be human and putting people first. We are at a tipping point where the old, dehumanized model is rapidly collapsing. A large contributor to this revolution is Conscious Capitalism.
Conscious Capitalism is “part of a growing movement that recognizes the tremendous value and potential of capitalism” and seeks to “elevate this powerful force for potential good to a new level.”9 Conscious Capitalism’s purpose is to elevate humanity through business, recognizing that businesses and their leaders have the potential to do more than just simply make money. In fact, when conducted with a higher level of consciousness, business has an extraordinary potential to create value that does not come at the expense of our own health or the health of our planet. Conscious Capitalism is a rethinking of what business can and should be.
It is changing the narrative of business by anchoring on four key tenets that all work together and reinforce each other:
- Higher Purpose: Every business should have a higher purpose that transcends making money. In his book Start with WHY, Simon Sinek asserts the importance of clarifying and anchoring our work on a higher purpose. It not only creates clarity, but it fuels energy and passion.10 Yes, businesses need to be profitable in order to exist, but profit is not the purpose.
- Stakeholder Orientation: Shareholders are only one stakeholder for an organization. Businesses need to consciously create value with and for all its stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders/investors, communities, the environment, etc.). Instead of a binary approach where one stakeholder wins at the expense of another (e.g., conducting mass layoffs to balance the books so the quarterly returns are favorable for shareholders), organizations look for synergies to create win-win relationships among stakeholders.
- Conscious Leadership: Conscious leaders operate from a place of purpose and service to others rather than power and self-interest. They are self-aware and intentional so they can effectively mentor, develop, and inspire people; consequently, they are able to call others to greatness and foster high levels of engagement, creativity, alignment with the higher purpose, and performance.
- Conscious Culture: Rather than operating on fear and unhealthy levels of stress, conscious organizations intentionally foster cultures with high levels of trust, authenticity, transparency, and genuine caring. They create environments where people feel valued as human beings and are nurtured to continue to grow. And it doesn’t just start with the C-suite. We need more courageous leaders—at all levels within organizations—to join this revolution! Businesses large and small are leveraging these tenets to become more conscious about the impact they have on people’s lives and the planet.
Sheryl would like to thank Dr. Rosie Ward and co-author Jon Robison of Rehumanizing the Workplace for sharing a clear view of how important the places we spend time in affects our physical, spiritual and emotional development and health. Earning a living simply for money leaves the creative and need to be caring and attentive to all people we interact with out of the equation of the core values or real needs of all human beings. To learn more about creating a working, living loving environment wherever we spend time is the key to living a life of purpose, prosperity and happiness.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have concentrated our attention on learning more about the human dynamics of interaction with others and creating safe healthy work environments not merely for profits but to advance humanity and the evolution of kinder, more creative beings.
We realized that what we’re ultimately called to do is to not just build thriving workplace cultures; that’s an important start. We are called to advocate for humanity. Our purpose is to rehumanize the workplace so that people can bring their best selves to work—and home—each day. Our 7 Points of Transformation blueprint is still an important ingredient for rehumanizing workplaces; and there are so many other facets necessary to have, and advocate for, workplaces that nurture humanity.
Being able to activate and live our purpose also requires us to get clear about our core values—how our behavior helps our purpose be realized. Here is what we created:
- Embrace your humanity. Honor the complexity and messiness of being human. Strive for excellence, not perfection; give yourself and others grace.
- We are stronger together. This is not a solo journey. There is power and energy in building community. Operate with an abundance mind[1]set to build and grow relationships and support others’ success.
- Choose courage over comfort. Be deliberate and intentional in your actions. Embrace the discomfort of challenging the status quo; growth never happens in our comfort zone.
- Sound science is your friend. Every solution and recommendation must be rooted in sound science appropriate for human beings.
- Pave a path for others to thrive. Help others see what’s possible. If you’re going to suggest stopping something or moving away from an approach, always provide a more effective, more human alternative.
Dr. Rosie Ward and Sheryl would have you begin to remember that the changes we are living through at the present moment are an opportunity to return to the wiser more loving simpler values of appreciating life people and the natural resources of our beautiful planet Embracing work home and nature are the way to create a world free of just materialism or greed and begin again to appreciate our human quality of Being safe and happy in all our pursuits of learning and sharing.

While anyone can perform magick anywhere at any time and we advocate for spontaneity when necessary, it is always a good idea to be able to focus your intent in the best way possible for success, not to mention using it appropriately for the situation. We talk about the concept of HALT, a common acronym used in recovery meetings, where people are told not to make decisions while too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired.
Positive journaling is not the traditional style of journaling. This activity may bring some uneasiness. It’s challenging to do something you’re uncomfortable with, so journaling may not express your true inner feelings. I encourage you to listen to the podcast first. And then stop it, listen to the podcast, and participate in the activity.
During this podcast, we will use baby steps to map out steps to nurture and help positive improvements stronger.
The author, Frederik Bannik’s Exceptions Journal, created a ten-question worksheet. In this episode, I will guide you through the last three questions of the ten-question
positive journaling worksheet. Please listen to the first episode of the series as a review of the first seven questions before completing the last three questions. As you work through this activity, I hope you find it meaningful and fun.

Today Mardi discusses overreacting and shares tactics she has discovered that help her to block negative, emotional pathways (in her brain) and create new, positive ones.
In this first podcast of my series, I will explain my personal reasons why I found myself searching to discover the roots of America.
The original Bill of Rights is now about 210 years old. Is it time to re-evaluate our fundamental constitutional rights? Are we ready to trust ourselves as individuals with the personal responsibilities that go with rights? This show is presented from the personal perspective of John Boushkaa gay man who grew up in a period of enormous change and migration toward cultural individualism. He is author of the book Do Ask, Do Tell: A Gay Conservative Lashes Back
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Starting in February of 1994 and running all the way through September of 2011 “Don’t ask, don’t tell” was the official US policy regarding non-heterosexual people in military service. It was instituted during the Clinton administration and by 2008, more than 12,000 officers had been discharged from the military for publicizing their homosexuality.
It was overturned by the senate during the Obama administration on December 18, 2010. The repeal allowed gay and lesbian military members to serve openly in the armed forces.
This is not a history lesson on gay rights and the US government — we don’t have that kind of time but a little background is necessary. Today we are going to focus on John Boushka’s new book about several important issues including what “discrimination” is really all about, and what the debate regarding “family values” is really all about. Why equal rights for gays is important for everybody and how the “Don’t Tell” mentality interferes with political and social debate in many areas but since all that is clearly laid out in th ebook let’s take a step back an examine what life was like before writing it, because for anyone who has ever come out publicly, it is a moment you will never forget.
John Boushka – It was Friday November 24th 1961. The day after Thanksgiving 1961.
The Day after Thanksgiving, John Boushka walked into the Dean’s office while he was away at college and admitted that he was having feelings for men. There had been no sexual experience before that but the feelings were there.
John Boushka – The call from what my father said came in around eight o’clock in the evening. The dean identified himself and said they needed to come back to Williamsburg to talk to me. Him and my mother and so it would have been a very stressful thing for a couple to wonder why a dean wanted to talk to their child. Can you imagine what that would have been like?
I’m already wondering about a lot of things. Like why that call needed to be made in the first place. I guess because it was 1961, which also explains what happened next.
John Boushka – The end result was I was taken out of school. I would only be allowed to go back if a psychiatrist certified it was ok for me to go back to school.
The assumption being there is something psychologically wrong with being gay and further evaluation was necessary. Couldn’t just let him run free on campus with those crazy feelings of his.
John Boushka – This is one of the reasons why you had McCarthyism and you had witch hunts in the government and state department because the psychiatrist profession was making money off it. Today, Gender theory, who is making money off of it.
A lot to think about but poor John had to spend six months at the national Institute of Health in Bethesda Washington
John Boushka – There was actually a program to examine this problem in the fall of 1962 and some of the book deals with that.
When you look at the way things were then and you hear the stories about what life was like it’s absolutely fascinating and if you feel like we haven’t made progress I can tell you that when you hear John’s story you will understand that we have definitely made progress.
He talks about joining the military in the late 60’s and while Don’t ask Don’t tell may not have been the official policy it was definitely a thing. He also spent time in Dallas in the 80’s. Not the best place to ride out the Aids scare.
John Boushka – In Dallas they threatened to reinforce the Sodomy law with what was a much more draconian law in Texas in the mid nineteen eighties before they had a test for HIV that was politically a very difficult time. I talk about that in the book
Yea, Dallas definitely had its share of controversies in the 1960’s in effort to come full circle here let’s fast forward to the Clinton Administration. When you look at the living conditions of servicemen, which is what they had to do to come up with this policy, there are a lot of parallels with the living conditions in a college dorm. John was able to draw on his experiences throughout the years to tell this story and here is an important takeaway.
John Boushka – Your personal rights can be taken away when external circumstances justify a more authoritarian control of people. You are seeing this happen in other countries.
I like the way he said that, “Your personal rights can be taken away when external circumstances justify a more authoritarian control of people”. If that strikes a cord you might enjoy his book — Do Ask, Do Tell: A Gay Conservative Lashes Back: Individualism, Identity, Personal Rights, Responsibility and Community in a Libertaria by John Boushka

Have you ever felt someone’s eyes on the back of your head? Or perhaps you may have known who was on the phone, even before you lifted the receiver. Science calls these moments of knowing anomalies. If an anomaly cannot be measured it does not exist so far as science is concerned. I wonder how science measures a mind. Whenever I feel someone’s eyes boring into the back of my head, I ask myself if the brain can transmit information, and given the measurements carried out on the brain, I have concluded that the answer lies elsewhere.
All of the evidence points to mind being non-local, and what that means can be more than you have bargained for. For a start it means that the mind exists outside of time and space, and points to the likelihood that conscious awareness can exist beyond the body: even beyond this particular life. And since the mind exercises the faculty of memory, its content must also be outside of time and space. This last point was particularly helpful to the people who sought the assistance of the author as a healer when they were facing death. His anomaly was always able to make some real contribution to them, and the author hopes it will do the same for you.

Do you shudder when you hear the word “vulnerability”? Does it bring up visions of sharing your worst possible moments and being judged for them? If so, you’re not alone. But being vulnerable is so much more than revealing your darkest times. As Reinvention Architect and Mindset Coach Craig Stanland says, “we don’t own what we hide; what we hide owns us”. He reveals how you can start your journey of vulnerability and create excellence.
If you are ready to be more open and authentic (vulnerable) in your marriage, Lesli can help.
Hello and welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit showing us soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Steven Campbell, author of Making Your Mind Magnificent Flourishing At Any Age.
As listeners of Healing From Within have become aware of during the many years Sheryl and her amazing guests share a love for understanding human nature, evolution, and Universal Source energy to assist us in finding out more about the truth of our eternal human and divine nature for as we use this awareness to improve ourselves, our communities and find greater passion for living amazing lives filled with unending potential to create rejoice in and love all that is.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Steven Campbell who spent twenty years in hospital administration and then went on to pursue his greatest love teaching, shares his latest research on how our brains conform to the messages we give it and understanding this reality opens the door to create success in our health, personal relationships and in business. Life becomes so much better!
When Sheryl asks Steven to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that might have signaled to him or to others the life he might pursue and the interests work or lifestyle he would create as an adult Steven tells us he became a Christian at ten years of age and had thought he would be a physician but at 19 years old he was in a horrific car accident and his friend died and he was in a body cast for many months. He began to realize his negative self-talk and unhappiness about the situation were doing him harm so he changed that thinking to something positive and began to heal. He met his wife Mary and they have been married for fifty years and he has enjoyed teaching and writing and helping others find great meaning in living lives of purpose and happiness.
Steven tells us why he wrote Making Your Mind Magnificent and how he discovered what will improve life no matter how hard the challenges. Understanding how the brain and self-talk influence everything we create and manifest into our lives is shown by what Steven wrote, “In fact, as recently as 30 years ago, the brain was still considered a “black box” and there was little hope of ever determining how it worked. What has changed? Through the explosion in technology such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), we have discovered astonishing insights about the brain and learning. Plus, there are simply more of us studying the brain as well. In 1969, the International Society of Neuroscience had 400 registered neuroscientists. As of 2006, its membership numbered 37,000! Jeri Janowsky, a top memory neuroscientist at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, says, “Anything you learned two years ago is already old information…Neuroscience is exploding.”
Why teach how your brain works? Because if you cannot understand your brain, you cannot guide it, so instead of shaping your own life, your brain ends up doing most of the shaping. And then you end up feeling like a victim or passenger in life, instead of the driver of your own distinctive existence and untapped potential. So, through the wonderful discoveries that fill this book, you now have a guidebook in your hand that teaches how to make your mind your greatest motivator and mentor; your wise and trusted counselor and friend. In other words, your brain can now consistently work for you, not against you!”
The human brain remains the most complex structure in the known universe. Eric Kandel is the scientist mostly responsible for determining how the brain changes. For his work, he shared the Nobel Prize in 2000. He showed that when people learn something, the wiring in their brain changes. He demonstrated that acquiring even simple pieces of information involves the physical alteration of the structure of the neurons participating in this process. Talking broadly, these physical changes result in the reorganization of the brain. This is astonishing. The brain is constantly learning things, so the brain is constantly rewiring itself. This is called plasticity, and it is a startling departure from the old concept of the brain as a self-contained, hard-wired unit that learns from a preset, unchangeable set of rules.
Sheryl shares with Steven her fascination in understanding the origins and spiritual nature of psychology as she has always been most fond of Carl Jung along with Sigmund Freud who are the founders of the practice of Psychology. Sheryl goes on to say that Carl Jung was a spiritual psychologist while Freud was more of the physical world and its influence on human behavior. Carl Jung is known to have had a near death experience and as such had a great awareness of higher consciousness and how we are more than our body, mind or physical life, always moving towards awareness and higher consciousness. As a spiritual psychologist he believed you could create change, rewire your thoughts and mind, to create a life of peace, purposefulness and love and did not have to focus as Freud did on only the traumatic imprints during childhood that were rooted in sexual modes of appraising yourself and others. Jung believed in being in the moment and not reliving the past, creating further trauma and staying in the energy of what was now only a memory. Sheryl as a Reiki Master Energy Teacher during a healing session helps through the channeled energy that flows from her to others to release blockages, fears, false thinking and trauma to remember the depth of our magnificent soul energy and our magnificent potential to create life in any way our thoughts allow.
Steven shares with us that “Your brain believes what you tell it.”
We have learned two primary principles. They are:
- The brain has an almost infinite capacity to learn, grow and change.
- The human brain is the most complex structure in the universe.
The brain consists of two parts: the conscious and subconscious mind.
The conscious mind is easiest to understand because we are aware of it all day long. One of its functions is called perception through your senses—sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing. However, you store this information on the subconscious level, not the conscious..
We do NOT record the actual event, but OUR version of the event, and then we call it the “truth”—not “our” truth, but “the” truth. We think that what we experience must be the way life really is. You say, “I see the way life really is!” And I say “No…I see the way life really is!” We’re both wrong;
We behave and act not according to the truth, but the truth as we believe it to be! Let’s me say it again: We behave and act not according to the truth, but the truth as we believe it to be
It seems we have Infinite numbers of self-images.The brain is an amazingly subtle and sensitive pattern-detecting apparatus. It detects, constructs, and elaborates patterns as a basic, built-in, natural function. It does not have to be taught or motivated to do so, any more than the heart needs to be instructed or coaxed to pump blood.
You will want to remember this information forever, because it will have a significant effect on your success as a person who is growing, and a life-long learner. When we look at something, our eyes do not recognize it. That is not their job. Their job is simply to perceive light bouncing off of objects. That light is then sent to the brain, and the brain must then go to work. If I were to display before you a coffee pot, or a paint brush, you would instantly recognize them effortlessly. However, you were not born knowing what these objects are. You learned what they were sometime between your birth and the present. All learning has taken place in the same way.
Steven gives the following example to show how this works, “Let’s look at one isolated illustration to understand the steps it takes to do so. It is Only an Image We raised our two daughters in Rohnert Park, a little enclave 50 miles north of San Francisco. As a result, when they were young, my daughters had no clear concept of what was meant by the word city. Their brains knew about the ‘city.’ Absolutely nothing. They started with a clean slate. If my wife or I tell them that a city is a place where many people live close together, they may fail to see why Rohnert Park is not a city. If they visit San Francisco, they will be impressed by the Golden Gate Bridge, traffic noise, the tall buildings, and all the stores. A trip to the shopping center may also impress them as being a city, since they experience crowded sidewalks, many stores, and our multiplex theatre. Yet Rohnert Park is definitely not a city.
To clarify their concept of the ‘city,’ let’s imagine that I sit with our daughters when they are six and three and read them a book about the city. When I do, their brain records this reading (because it records everything) as an ‘image.’ If they watch Sesame Street, the brain records another image Now if that is all I do because I have erroneously decided that a book and Sesame Street should be sufficient to learn about the city, the brain will keep these images for a while, but over time they will become more and more fuzzy, and they will not become a part of my daughters’ long-term memory. In other words, they will not be learned. As a result, if I ask them to explain a city after I read the book to them, or we watch Sesame Street together, they will be able to explain very little. From an Image to a Pattern However, in addition to the book and Sesame Street, let’s imagine that we provide them with many other experiences regarding a city.
All of these experiences provide input.
- As we drive to a circus, we look at a road map before and they notice “City Limits” for the first time. They see that a city has boundaries.
- They hear a news broadcast that the city population has fallen, and exact figures are given. They have never had a clear idea of what a ‘population’ meant, but they get the hint that a city has a lot of people.
- A family friend works for the Santa Rosa Fire Department, and another works for the San Francisco Fire Department so cities might have fire departments.
- They watch a documentary on skyscrapers, so they learn that a city might have very large buildings.
- They visit a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco’s ChinaTown, and see that the city has smells, along with street lights and a lot of noise. All of these images are recorded in your brain. At this point, the images are just images. They are simply recorded in their memory (and we are not yet quite sure how that happens…we think it involves a chemical change in the brain). They were input into my daughters’ brains randomly through my reading a book to them, going to San Francisco, or watching Sesame Street. They are recorded in the same way.
In time, the brain begins to see relationships among the images. There were buildings in the image of a book, just as there were buildings in the image of Sesame Street. It therefore lays down an actual connection (called neural connections) involving axons, dendrites, and synapses—the components of a neuron—between the image of a book and the image of Sesame Street
We learn where our self-images come from. We behave and act not according to the truth, but the truth as we believe it to be. This “truth” is based on how we see ourselves. This “truth” about ourselves is wrapped up in our self-image, of which we have thousands, all stored in our subconscious. The brain is an amazingly sensitive pattern-detecting apparatus that detects, constructs, and elaborates patterns as a basic, built-in, natural function. It does not have to be taught or motivated to do so, any more than the heart needs to be instructed or coaxed to pump blood.
Thinking is really a process of “Making sense of the world.” It is your brain’s attempt to make sense of the mass of information that reaches you throughout the day through what you hear, smell, taste, touch, and feel.
Learning takes place in this chaotic world incessantly and in each individual in a purely individual way. We all learn differently, so comparing ourselves to others is not only silly, but unrealistic. My world is incredibly different from yours
Virtually all of our feelings come from personal evaluations. For instance, a statement such as “Dr. Smith is my personal physician” is simply a fact, with no evaluations or feelings attached. However, “I am glad that Dr. Smith is my personal physician” is more than a fact; it is an evaluation, and this evaluation causes feelings. So, “I regret that Dr. Smith is my personal physician” or “I love Dr. Smith being my personal physician” are all evaluations, and all of these trigger feelings.
Some feelings obviously are quite strong, others not strong at all. In fact, the strength or feebleness of your feelings can be theoretically scaled, where 0 percent means that you have no feelings at all about Dr. Smith being your personal physician, where you feel that “Dr. Smith must be my personal physician or you feel that you will absolutely die!” The feelings which land around the middle of this theoretical scale are called preferences; you could describe these as “appropriate and reasonable.” For instance, “I like Dr. Smith being my personal physician” is a certainly appropriate and reasonable. In contrast, “Dr. Smith must be my personal physician or I feel I’ll absolutely die!” seems rather extreme. It is close to the top of the scale, and is no longer “appropriate and reasonable.” In other words, preferences can become demands when their strength reaches the top. When this happens, the “musts” and “shoulds” can cause some problems
A key to healthy thinking is to realize that having preferences, even strong preferences, is perfectly normal. It is one of the traits of being human. However, turning them to demands puts undue stress in our lives. In fact, the majority of emotional problems arise when individuals believe that something or other MUST be, or not be 100 percent.
Earlier in the show we discovered how Steven helped himself heal after a bad car accident by learning to Control or Change his Self-Talk and indeed improve the content of our thoughts and actions so we can change difficult situations or challenges improving ourselves and our lives.
In learning to change your Self-Talk you will discover that what we believe about ourselves is far more important than what we do. It is for this reason that all meaningful and lasting growth must start on the inside…with our mind. And we have just learned that your brain has almost limitless potential for change and growth…and the more we discover about its capacity, the more we are able to use it as our motivator. So…your very simple assignment is to immediately throw away any notions that you are too old, or too young, or too uneducated, or too stuck in your ways to change. You can grow and change as much as you want to! How exciting!!! We no longer need to think of ourselves as limited in terms of how much we can learn, grow, and change. We simply need to know how to do so.
Change Is so hard because the brain is wired to not change. Learning usually takes time and does not happen overnight. Change takes time to adapt so be careful about listening to your brain’s thoughts. When your brain whispers little innuendos such as, “I am too old” or “I am too slow,” it could usually not be further from the truth. It is simply trying to make sense out of what it has been given, and when it does not make sense, it becomes very defensive. However, because learning can at times take so much time, it sometimes becomes very impatient. When this happens, it often feels “slow” or “dim” or “thick.” We all learn differently, so never compare how you learn with someone else. In large part, how we learn is based on what we already know. Many negative thoughts come in every day and we must learn to dismiss or delete them and embrace only that which we think will bring us an outcome we would benefit by.
Steven tells us of self-images. Every one of the thousands of self-images you have was learned; you were not born with them. Most of them were based on three elements:
What others said to you, how others reacted to you, and what you have said to yourself (i.e., your own self-talk). And as we have learned in this book, the brain accepts all of these unquestionably as the absolute truth.
But you now want more than that. You want to choose how you see yourself. You now want to proactively create your own self-images, rather than wait around for others to tell you who you are and what you can or cannot do. It is for this reason that what we believe about ourselves is far more important than you could possibly imagine. And it is also for this reason that all meaningful and lasting growth must start on the inside…with how you see yourself…with your self-images.
Let’s again review the Principles that show us how.
Principle 1: Your brain is a literal mechanism that accepts what you tell it without argument. This first principle is the foundation of everything that follows. However, with every principle there are both positive and negative elements, the negative is that when you say “I can’t do that!” your brain not only agrees, it blocks out possibilities for you to “do that.” That’s the negative. When you say you can do something, your brain agrees just as quickly. Not only that, it also provides the creativity and the energy to get it done.
The first step then to creating new self-images is to know this: Whatever you tell yourself about yourself and your capabilities, the brain accepts without argument.
Principle 2: Your brain fastens onto what you deem as important. This is another principle of such importance that if it was not true, what follows would be no good to you.
Principle 3 : Our feelings come from what we believe which comes from how we were raised.
One of Steven’s favorite stories in this book is the one about the young boy learning to ride his first bicycle. If you remember, just before his father lets him go on his first ride, he points out a rock 50 feet ahead, and warns, “Now don’t run into that rock!” The little boy agrees, and with his hands clinging to the handle bars, he begins peddling like mad with his eyes fastened on the rock so he won’t run into it. And what happens? BAM! Right into the rock!
Our brains are the same way. Rather than the rock, however, our brains continually hone in on the pictures in your life that you deem as the most important. Our brains are like a guided missile continually correcting itself to follow that strongest target. And what are those targets? They are our own self-images.
This is one of the many reasons why change is so difficult. Some of the strongest pictures in your life are the way you see yourself right now, wrapped up in the thousands of self-images you already have. We must create new self-images in order to continue writing our fabulous life stories. The possibilities are infinite.
We can change the way we think and it goes back to your self-talk. Learning to be optimistic is not a rediscovery of the “power of positive thinking.” It does not consist of simply saying positive things about everything. In fact, in the decades that Dr. Seligman and his colleagues have been doing their research and working with their clients, they have found that simply making positive statements to yourself has little, if any, effect. What is crucial is what you say to yourself when you fail. In fact, changing all those destructive messages we often give ourselves after experiencing setbacks is the central skill behind learning optimism
We thank Steven Campbell for showing us how to use new brain science to transform life, end negative thinking, improve focus and clarity and make our daily life experiences more positive, productive, and happier.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Steven Campbell author of Making Your Mind Magnificent has described and helped us learn how our mind works and the secret to success and happiness in life which is found inside your brain or in the thinking you create as you mature and realize the personal power to create your own thoughts and realities. Based on the science of cognitive psychology we have discovered how to end negative thinking while increasing positive thinking, how to solve problems more easily, how to use the power of affirmations and self -talk to improve results, and how to experience a growing sense of confidence and improved self-image.
Steven would like us to remember how self- images are created and how they can be changed for greater efficacy and a more fulfilling life journey.
Steven writes, “You began this book to change how you see yourself, change some of the things you do, change some habits you have, and change you. You have discovered, however, that your mind often becomes your greatest obstacle. In fact, its job is to keep you from changing; to keep you in your comfort zone; to keep you where you are. And yet—and this is the enigma—your mind is the most satisfied, excited and creative when you are changing! ……Every one of the thousands of self-images you have was learned; you were not born with them. Most of them were based on three elements: What others said to you, how others reacted to you, and what you have said to yourself (i.e., your own self-talk). And as we have learned in this book, the brain accepts all of these unquestionably as the absolute truth. But you now want more than that. You want to choose how you see yourself. You now want to proactively create your own self-images, rather than wait around for others to tell you who you are and what you can or cannot do. It is for this reason that what we believe about ourselves is far more important than you could possibly imagine. And it is also for this reason that all meaningful and lasting growth must start on the inside…with how you see yourself…with “your” self-images
Steven and Sheryl would have you remember that allowing accepting surrendering to all aspects or challenges in your life begins with your perceptions, awareness and growing higher consciousness of Self and how we are all connected and similar in wanting to live a happy productive life. Our mind, our thoughts, our self -image and our desire to grow are the keys to using our mind and thoughts most effectively. It can be done as we think and act in more positive ways, accept ourselves, allow for change, and we grow aware of the magnificent souls we have always been.

Join Doc Holliday this week for a deep look at why the mainstream media got hit with name fake news. Doc uses clips from Hannity and also Newsmax to expose the fake news. Both these clips involve interviews with the former Congressman Devin Nunes. You don’t want to miss this show that ties the emerging facts together showing how many Americans are still believing a lie that hurt America in such away, yet those responsible seem to be laughing all the way to the bank and power and control. What does Nunes recommend? Listen now!
In this session we talk about how as kids we all were big dreamers but that we were stopped or shut down by something – maybe a parent or a guidance counselor or someone who told you “stop being idealistic!”

In this episode, the Crone & Sage discuss another topic that forms the foundation of The Path Tradition. It consists of eight simple words: As Above So Below, As Within So Without. Simple words but a complex topic to think about after you listen to the two of them. The featured Witchstone Card is the next physical concept card, Blue Moon! Finally, today’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint gives you some ideas about how to grow your spiritual practice with some mix and match things to try on a daily basis.
The internet floods us with so many options: Thousands of voices and millions of books.
But even when we do focus on one voice, how much do we get out of it? Here I suggest some ways to “re-process” information from others and make it your own.
The doctrines of Christianity bear no relationship to the Gospel teachings of Jesus. Here Roberta delves into the Biblical Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and she shares with us what Jesus actually taught on a variety of topics, beginning with the fact that God never judges us and therefore Jesus did not die for our sins. Roberta’s book based on what Jesus taught is The Fun of Loving Jesus – Embracing the Christianity that Jesus Taught, and her website on the same topic which will soon be available is called teachingsbyjesus.com.
The original Bill of Rights, sponsored largely by James Madison, is now about 210 years old. Reinforced by the Fourteenth Amendment, which eventually applied many of its provisions to the states, it has served us well. It is time to re-evaluate our fundamental constitutional rights and to seriously consider their major renovation. This is my central proposal.
Are we ready to trust ourselves as individuals with the personal responsibilities that go with rights? When the government defines personal moral values, we tend to take less account for not only our own actions but also our own underlying values, for those spiritual yearnings that make us, all unique people, who we are. We tend to lose interest in speaking for ourselves and tend to leave moral judgments to “experts” who get paid to pass judgment on all of us.I discuss a philosophy, often called libertarianism, of extremely restricted government. I present it from the personal perspective of a gay man who grew up in a period of enormous change and migration toward cultural individualism. My argument is intended for everyone, but I provide my own detailed perspectives on many issues including:
- The parallel between draft deferments during the Vietnam era and the gays-in-the-military battle today
- How close the gay community, as we know it, came to total catastrophe during the early days of AIDS crisis
- What the “family values” debate is really all about
- Volunteerism and social obligations, and how both military service and parenting fit into these
- What “discrimination” is really all about
- How the “Dont Tell” mentality interferes with political and social debate in many areas
- Why equal rights for gays is important for everybody
- A science of personal growth and why libertarianism is good for personal growth

Dee’s book took just over a year to write but it’s based on twenty years of life’s scribblings as she recalls most if not all the divine message, she has received over that period in to this one amazing book. The book is mainly aimed at women and young girls empowering them to believe and understand themselves though spiritual means and ways, but for me men can also gain some spiritual insights here.
The divine messages are grouped under fifteen headings. Dee portrays this book as an attested undiluted communication between the reader and the Divine Mother’s energy. The words within are heart-warming, spiritually uplifting offering guidance to those seeking answers to questions about themselves and what is going on around them. For me this book offers a kind of alternative way of thinking of how women can face everyday issues supported by spiritual means and for men to get in touch with their feminine side and see things from a different perspective.

Perhaps you have already made your New Year’s Resolution, or maybe made it and have already abandoned it. Either way, this discussion is about much more than that. We make “resolutions” all of the time. And when we succeed it is such a great feeling! But what about when we fail? Why do we fail? In this discussion, I share some insights and some of my own experiences.
Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our problems are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnection from our true being or soul wisdom. Today I welcome Dr. Aida Harvey Wingfield author of Flatlining focusing on the processes that maintain racial and gender inequality in professional workplaces. We are now in the greatest spiritual evolution of human development and perhaps, the time to correct past inequalities is finally here.
As listeners or “Healing From Within” well know, my esteemed guests and I share intimate awareness of how spiritual life and physical life offer opportunities to recognize our inner potential to thrive beyond the problems of a three -dimensional physical reality and to claim our soul right to live purposeful happy and healthy lives as we learn more about who we are, and how to live in balance and harmony, improve ourselves, our communities, and our world.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Dr. Adia Harvey Wingfield a Professor of Sociology at Washington University at St. Louis, Missouri will discuss how the problem of inequality and gender disparity has been here long before Covid19 though the pandemic has magnified it as it has many problems in our institutions and corporations. What happens to black professionals in the new economy, where work is insecure and organizational resources are scarce? Dr. Wingfield will expose how institutions participate in “racial outsourcing,” relying heavily on black professionals to do “equity work,”—extra labor that makes organizations and their services more accessible to communities of color. Yet. often black workers do this labor without recognition, compensation or support.
Dr. Wingfield’s book Flatlining is an analysis of race, gender, work, and inequality in contemporary society. As organizations struggle with their attempts to maximize racial diversity while seeking greater profit margins, their actions have consequences for the black professionals they employ. These outcomes include but are not limited to specific forms of additional, racialized labor; ambivalent or distant relationships with white colleagues; and valiant personal efforts to change and undermine institutionalized racism. This book highlights how both the work black professionals do and the organizational shifts that drive it have far-reaching implications for a society that continues to struggle with reconciling race, work, and opportunity, and it offers ideas for how organizations can resolve some of these issues,
Dr. Wingfield tells us that in many ways, the story of contemporary work is a story of “what is” versus “what used to be.” We hear laments over the loss of “what used to be” when politicians and policy makers talk about “growing the economy,” the importance of “saving middle-class jobs,” and of late, the need to “make America great again.” When these parties make these claims, they are referring to a time when, for white men, the unemployment rate was low; labor force participation rates were very high; work was consistent, stable, and pretty readily available; workplaces were hierarchically organized; and companies paid wages that offered a middle-class standard of living (often on only one income). Workers could easily spend their entire careers with one company that provided decent benefits. While there was a disparity between workers’ earnings and that of the head of the company, it was typically not astronomical. Despite what politicians like to tell us, those days are over.
Starting in the 1970s, wages began to flatten and ceased to keep pace with productivity. What this means is that even as workers continue to produce results, wages have not kept pace with their efforts. Simultaneously, gains from workers’ labor have increasingly gone to very highly placed managers and CEOs (Bivens and Mishel 2015). The US economy, then, is left with record levels of income inequality and limited social mobility (Piketty, Saez, and Zucman 2016). This disparity not only has left a large segment of the population economically insecure but also has helped lay the groundwork for major crises such as the housing crash of 2008, the recession that followed, and the looming student loan debt bubble.
What drives this growing inequality? A significant factor is the neoliberal ideology that became more dominant in the 1970s and 1980s. Neoliberalism, loosely defined, advocates for the primacy of unfettered markets that are neither subject to nor shaped by government regulations. It prizes individualism over collective action, advocates increasing financialization and privatization, and endorses the maximization of profits and shareholder value. Neoliberal agendas encourage limiting the role of the state and promoting austerity measures in order to push for unlimited free market competition.
When policy makers decry government regulations, tout the benefits of tax cuts for the wealthy, attempt to prevent workers from collective bargaining, divert corporate profits to stockholders before (or instead of) workers, and seek to shrink or privatize the public sector, this is neoliberalism in action. With the rise of neoliberalism, major changes in work, organizations and industry followed. Collective bargaining has taken a massive hit, with clear consequences for workers. Whereas in the early 1970s, a quarter of all workers were unionized, by 2016 just over one in ten were. This is significant because the decline in unionization has had a marked impact on workers’ ability to pressure management for greater compensation (Rosenfeld 2013). One result of this wage stagnation and union decline is increased economic inequality between most workers and those at the very top of the economic scale
Dr. Wingfield tells us, “Organizations have also changed in ways that facilitate greater inequality. While they once were strictly hierarchical, they now are flatter and allow workers to be more self-directed. These are organizations that have fewer levels of middle management between executives and staff and, thus, require more independent, unsupervised work—think Google, LinkedIn, and Health Care, Work, and Racial Outsourcing other companies in Silicon Valley that encourage employees to work in ways that allow them to be their most productive. This means workers can have greater autonomy and more control over their career paths than was true for employees in the past.
Organizations now expect workers to be nimbler and more flexible, to change jobs more frequently rather than devoting their entire career to a company, and to take greater responsibility for moving into and out of jobs, organizations, or even the workforce itself. In tandem with giving workers more autonomy, however, organizations also assume much less responsibility for employees than they have in the past.”
Sheryl says Biden and his administration are intent on having diversity and inclusion in all action they take. However, “Meritocracy” is still is a necessary ingredient in appointing the best people, not only because they feel the need to have all races genders represented for social justice purposes but making clear minded and fair action in selecting the right people for the job based on qualifications and talent, not necessary because they are part of certain designated and favored groups of individuals or minorities. Meritocracy seems to be taking a back seat to his appointments. We will have to see how this will all work out.
A few decades after the civil rights movement, however, professional organizations began to heed the call to bring more practitioners of color into the industry. The predominantly white American Medical Association and other organizations now publicly concede, in response to active, consistent pressure from organizations like the predominantly black National Medical Association, that there is a need to attract more practitioners of color. They advocate adopting a racial realism perspective in health care—the view that in some cases, workers of color bring special skills and talents, making greater diversity a concrete benefit . Because of a long history of racism in the medical profession, black doctors and nurses may be more likely than their white peers to engender trust and positive relationships with their black patients, as many patients prefer to see, and respond better to, doctors who share their racial background . As the country stands to become a majority minority nation, the medical population needs to include more doctors of color to serve this more diverse patient population effectively
Dr. Wingfield addresses what she feels needs to change in corporations to start mining different internal spaces for promotion. Perhaps, like in postwar America, organizations might shoulder hefty retirement and medical costs associated with labor, but today these are considered “externality costs” that cut into an organization’s bottom line (Acker 2006). Companies now shift these costs back to employees, who are increasingly responsible for greater shares of their own retirement and health care costs. This allows corporations to boost profits and is consistent with broader norms that now cast labor as a cost to be cut rather than an important investment. These organizational changes have dramatically restructured the way work is done. It now is much more insecure and contingent.
Sheryl suggests that, “Perhaps the bottom line and profits are not as important as taking care of your employees and treating everyone as family.
Perhaps meritocracy and reward for hard work and not diversity alone or trying to make everyone equal which really can never be accomplished for as unique souls we have individual talents and limitations which can affect the quality of life for ourselves and others. Still again in learning acceptance and working cooperatively everyone has a way to pool their resources for the common good which would improve many of the situations being discussed today.
Health care is one of the issues in the need for healing and is an extremely integral part of improving life for all people and for achieving a level of fairness in caring for all our citizens. In the past companies began to offer health benefits to attract workers. This began the trend of linking health care to employment, but it is important to reiterate that these benefits were not widely shared. Organizations began to assume some responsibility for the increasing costs of health care at a time when the workers who could take advantage of this were, owing to employment discrimination, mostly white men. Women of all races, and particularly women of color, faced overt, systemic discrimination that left them underrepresented in jobs that included health care benefits, forcing them to shoulder these costs on their own or rely on a partner’s coverage if available (Branch 2011). Problems with the health care system continued over the latter half of the twentieth century.
Thus, lawmakers were able to pass legislation intended to expand access to care, address rising costs, and increase the number of providers trained to give care. Unfortunately for many Americans, health care still remained tied to work. These changes helped but did not provide a panacea. In the 1970s, factors like inflation, high Medicare costs, and the growing use of technology in medicine meant that costs continued to spiral. At the same time, the number of the uninsured also continued to grow.

In the 1970s, factors like inflation, high Medicare costs, and the growing use of technology in medicine meant that costs continued to spiral. At the same time, the number of the uninsured also continued to grow. Today, health care has morphed into a sharply tiered system that is profoundly unequal and in which care is highly commodified. For those who are well off and can afford private insurance, there are extensive treatment options, preventative care, and highly sought-after specialists. For those who cannot afford this, care in the poorly funded, under-resourced public sector is often the only option.
In an increasingly multiracial society, the premise of collective responsibility that underlies the ACA means that wealthy white families will be called upon to show some level of economic, political, and social support for poor black, Asian, and Latino communities. Thus, basing this legislation on the belief that “we’re all in this together” means, in practice, that whites must see racial minorities as people with whom they share not just a fundamental connection, but also a sense of responsibility. Projections that America will become a majority minority nation by 2044 mean that this prospect of mutual connectivity is no longer an abstract hypothetical. Rather, as the US rapidly grows blacker, browner, and more Asian, this collective orientation suggests that these groups are entitled to the benefits of inclusion that they had previously been denied, and that this may call for some sacrifices by white communities
Sheryl says “As a Reiki Master Energy Teacher and formerly a teacher in the New York City schools working in minority communities it is impossible to end racism or foster acceptance of all people as long as the focus is on the differences and not the similarities of all humans. By Identity Politics and separating people into groups according to race, religion or gender or sexual preference you are creating negativity and divisiveness. Segregation, War, Limiting people by class or economic differences, is the real inequality and has been encouraged throughout every society, not only in America. So in order to end racism, we really do need to accept each person as they are, not as government or certain political groups playing the racist or gender card seem to do, and which many people in society deem acceptable. That energy of acceptance and love will heal many of the worst problems we now face. As long as we focus on describing people as black brown women of color Jew or any other label which are blatantly racist, we will never make it right.
In Sheryl’s book A New Life Awaits addressing the labeling and false identification of an individual she wrote, “It goes back to our present-day views of what is important to us materially or spiritually and how society either values or devalues basic human decency. Everywhere we are assigned designations or labels: boy or girl, rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, smart or unintelligent. I feel labeling a situation or a person in this way—or with either an illness or a mental or social disorder other than to help them receive the services they need— might be detrimental. Labeling will set them on a path that is unalterable and will allow fewer opportunities. Our physical life, mind, and ego are obsessed and defined by labels and descriptions of who we think we are based on the perceptions of others, and buying into this thinking makes us forget our inner soul presence and needs.
At no time in my life have I heard more negativity, name-calling, and labeling than in the 2016 Presidential Election campaign. I was quite amazed by people who had achieved so much but who had declined in spiritual values, as evidenced in the way they handled policy and communication of their views about the important plans for the country. Several candidates, party members, and the media wasted so much time and Life –on accentuating personality flaws and attacking past indiscretions. But perhaps the stakes were huge. Corruption and mismanagement of the government by many misguided politicians were now even more overwhelmingly apparent, so a new leader dedicated to restoring the nation to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all needed to be chosen. We needed a new vision and a tough leader to address the many problems our nation and world faced!’
Adia and Sheryl discuss that perhaps understanding her breakdown of inequity in business first will eventually lead to a deeper view of life as all individuals are connected by energy and a common divine purpose to cooperate and live in harmony and balance.
Understanding how America is different from any other nation in the world shows us our unique set of circumstances and how to work with them to improve conditions. Perhaps no conservative made this case against the ACA and for the AHCA more clearly than former Representative Joe Walsh. In a May 2017 conversation between Walsh and MSNBC commentator Ali Velshi, Velshi pointed out that health care outcomes, as a whole, in the US healthcare system rank last relative to those of other industrialized nations. Walsh replied, “You can’t compare the rest of the world to us. They do not have the big diverse populations that we have. They do not have the inner city populations that we have. . . . Sweden does not have our inner- city population. Norway, these countries do not have—you’re talking about countries the size of India with homogenous populations. You can’t compare them to what we have.”4 Contrasting the health care systems of Norway and Sweden, with their predominantly white populations, to the health care system of the US, with its “inner-city populations,” Walsh made clear that part of the reason why a more collective orientation to health care would not work is that it would necessarily require whites to be comfortable with their tax dollars paying for a health care system that, in part, supported minority communities. In this framing, then, the ACA involved a black president requiring hardworking white populations to pay for health care for “diverse,” “inner-city” populations whose expensive health care outcomes stem from a failure to lead “good lives.”
What do these divides mean for work in the public sector, which disproportionately services patients of color? To assess this, it is important to explore just how this arena has changed over the past few decades. It used to be that the public sector provided viable employment options that offered black professionals stable work and economic security. Yet in the post–civil rights era, as black workers gained more access to jobs in this sphere that could provide middle-class status and upward mobility, legislators and policy makers began to decry the public sector, characterizing it as a bloated site of wasteful spending that inhibited free enterprise
Privatization followed shortly thereafter. Furthermore, it had the intended effect of shrinking the public sector, where black professionals had been earning comfortable incomes that met or even exceeded the wages their black counterparts earned in the private sector This trend reverses racial and economic progress that had been occurring in the aftermath of the civil rights movement, and creates downward economic mobility for black workers who had previously had access to stable employment and wage parity via public sector.
After reading Flatlining Race Work and Healthcare in the New Economy hopefully readers will become aware of inequality or racist behaviors are definitely improving across this nation and as this nation sets the standards for the free world perhaps it will improve in many other nations.
Yet this point should not be taken to suggest that diversity policies, broadly speaking, have yielded no gains whatsoever. Clearly not every organization places so little emphasis on improving racial and gender diversity. In 2016, in response to the highly publicized police shootings of the unarmed black men Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, PricewaterhouseCoopers’s CEO, Tim Ryan, initiated Color Brave, a series of open, informal workplace discussions about race and racism that address these issues head-on. In other companies, affinity groups—collectives
Dr. Wingfield argues that when organizations wrestle with determining how best to reach diverse communities while, at the same time, trying to maximize market values and minimize the resources they devote to labor, this leads to a process I term racial outsourcing. Racial outsourcing occurs when organizations fail to do the work of transforming their culture, norms, and workforces to reach communities of color and instead rely on black professionals for this labor. As a result, I contend, black professionals do equity work, which I define as the various forms of labor associated with making organizations more accessible to minority communities. Equity work is driven by black professionals’ experiences with workplace racism and shaped by gender and occupational status, so that black men and black women workers in various occupations do this work differently. In some cases, equity work is explicitly mandated by organizations; in others, it is a result of the racial solidarity many black professionals bring to their work.
But ultimately, both racial outsourcing and equity work represent new mechanisms of racial inequality, where organizations abdicate the responsibility for creating diverse institutions and, instead, rely on black professionals to make the institutions and their services available to an increasingly minority population organized around common bonds of race, gender, LGBTQIA status, or other categories—can offer critical social support in settings where these members are underrepresented
Sheryl says that her son has mentioned he is aware of underrepresentation in the corporate structure and that needs to improve as it is and as it will and if we all work as a human spiritual force for fairness and what’s righteous, we might eventually be able to have our focus on the best within ourselves and end prejudice judgement: allowing for equality in the workplace, not allowing any one group to do all the work. Cooperation over competition has always been the key to success on so many levels.
We thank you Dr. Adia Harvey Wingfield, author of Flatlining for tackling a topic which is clearly not well understood by government corporate education facilities where the real changes on the conversations on race must go to begin to heal and unify the nation as a whole.
In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within” we have attempted to tackle generations of understanding the need in American industries and government to work with African American business people to advance equity in as many workplaces as possible.
Dr. Wingfield writes, “I conclude Flatlining by reiterating my central argument: in the modern work world, organizations engage in racial outsourcing, leaving black professionals to do the equity work of connecting organizations to communities of color. While this process does not render black professionals as economically disadvantaged as their poor or working-class counterparts, it still has adverse consequences. Namely, it creates disappointment and disillusionment with how organizations treat minority communities; leads to racial isolation from white colleagues; and perhaps most importantly, leaves black professionals shouldering the added responsibility of making organizations more accessible and available to communities of color in an increasingly multiracial society. This book identifies racial outsourcing and equity work as new mechanisms of racial inequality for blacks in professional settings. I also use the conclusion to address the implications of this research in three areas. I discuss what these results tell us about the ways health care, as it adjusts to the organizational changes of the modern era, does so through racial, gendered, and classed practices. Following this, I consider what implications my findings may have for black professionals working in other fields. I conclude the book with an assessment of how we can use the results of this research to change workplaces to become better equipped to meet the needs of an increasingly multiracial America.
Adia and I would have those whose hearts are open no matter race socio- economic level. gender or religion stop thinking in terms of differences and begin to see the world and America most especially as a land of transformation and transcendence…a place where light replaces darkness, love replaces hatred, and fairness, kindness and love become emotions and behaviors that speak to everyone and bring harmony, balance and justice for ALL.

The key to keeping your marriage healthy and happy is to nurture it. In the early days of your relationship, this was relatively easy. In truth, it still is. It takes a little bit of time, energy, and attention. Not a lot. Even if your marriage is in a rut, doing a few simple things regularly can reignite the spark. Relationship and Intimacy Coach Corinne Farago reveals how you can easily take your marriage from just surviving to thriving.
If you’re looking to get your marriage back on track quickly, Lesli can help.

Holidays can be a time of difficulty or joy and sometimes both.
We start the session explaining the source of Scarcity. It is a natural state of our minds. The mind’s main function is to ensure our survival, so it naturally looks for what could go wrong or harm me. When we find ourselves in scarcity (oh poor me) the first thing we want to do is name it and allow it in. The more you resist your pain, the more you will feel stuck in it. This comes back to the power of your choice. Once you have acknowledged what is happening, then ask yourself how long you want or need to be there (giving yourself five or ten minutes – not days or weeks). Then you can shift toward Abundance.
Abundance is not defined as having lots of stuff. Rather abundance is a mindset that comes from gratitude. One key principle of abundance is that you cannot receive more, if you are not first grateful for what you have. So when shifting we turn to our gratitude list – what can you be grateful for – life? breath? a roof over your head? your family? Choose something and start there. A key tool in choosing abundance is what we call “flipping the script.” Often when oppressed or down we feel we “have to” do this or that. But the simple act of changing that script to, we “get to” do it, places you in abundance. Several other tools and techniques are discussed as well.

When I read this quote, I felt like it was speaking directly to me. I move fast all the time and forget to slow down enough to hear and feel the answers I am seeking.
It has been a lifelong challenge for me to slow down enough to allow me to speed up. At first, this concept seemed counterintuitive for me. As I age this truth of slowing down to speed up is spot on and always allows me to see, hear, or feel what the next correct step is for me, my family, and my business.
The reality is that anxiety is everywhere these days, and the toll is high. You can hardly hear the message above the clamor. Yet a simple, scientifically verified meditation practice can literally end the anxiety, and open the floodgates for success.

James is the author of more than 30 books and has taught Transcendental Meditation from LA to New York and in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.

Allow me to reminisce; we rarely visit storehouses of information. We have progressed in how we use data in this modern era. Join me as I share how modern mindfulness can be used as we transition to a new age. I’d like to invite you to recognize feelings, points of view, and dimensions of depth without judgment. Basing conclusions on personal values, experiences, and social group acceptance promotes stagnation and misinterpretation of information. We are still in the Modern era. Within the Modern era, we are functioning in the digital age and moving towards the nanotechnology age. We are using information so intimately that we have developed online and offline identities. We should take time to perform a self-awareness scan and identify which world we spend most of our time in. Barry Boyce suggests that we should be aware that one-way relationships, such as “celebrity worship,” distort the awareness of “now.” The distortion pulls us away from the here now, crippling our ability to form healthy, two-way relationships. It is our choice to select which existence we want to nurture.
Modern mindfulness provides coping tools to help us overcome challenges and embrace a positive life. Brian Bi suggests we are in the Age of Reckoning. We must see the truth and accept that seeing the truth may be uncomfortable. However, this process is required for humanity to improve. Mike Wadhera suggests that we are in the Experience Age. The Experience Age focuses on using data in real-time interaction rather than data collection. Finally, as we explore our online and offline identities and transition into the age of Nanotechnology, Barry Boyce cautions us to be aware of the rise in how our economic system is beginning to use our attention as a product.

It’s a new year so let’s change the world! Today we will examine the evolutionary causes of the human condition to enable human survival into a sustainable future.

Owning and running a business is not for the faint of heart. I know through the past 20 years there have been some lean months and others where I felt like the Midas woman and everything I touched seemed to turn to gold. I have a feeling that most business owners don’t necessarily take a monthly paycheck, rather they pay themselves when there is extra money in the business cash flow for the month.

The statistics are sobering. Couples deal with a serious issue on average for six years before seeking help. Only 19% of divorced couples sought counseling before signing the papers. Yet, counseling is effective for 70% of couples who seek it out. If you had a 70% chance of saving your family, home, and savings, why wouldn’t you take it? Relationship coach and writer Kyle Benson addresses the myths and misconceptions about couples counseling and explains how it really can help your marriage.

In this week’s episode you will understand what gamification is and why you may need it.
Connie’s motivational quote for today is by Gabe Zichermann
“Gamification is 75% psychology and 25% technology.” Okay, so after hearing my quote are you thinking, what the heck is she talking about now? I am trying to keep you on your toes and share all the new things I am learning during this shift to online everything! And after listening to this show, you’ll see how to roll with these changes, have fun and build your business. Are you intrigued?
Since COVID using technology online has become a new skill that we have had to quickly learn and navigate. The question is, are your online interactions on Zoom, Skype, etc. boring or engaging? They should be engaging and fun (to some extent). Right now you are in store for a real fun treat!

We start by identifying three types of people we tend to see doing this type of work:
Seekers (people who are looking to level up, to take the next step in moving toward their vision)
Shifters (people who know that they have more in them but need to shift their way of being in order to get there)
The Stuck ones (people feel that they are a victim of their circumstances and are just stuck and want to find a way out)
Starting with the stuck-ers, who often are asking ‘Why me?“ We talk about how to start seeing events as neutral. Things are neither good or bad (that’s just the judgement we make about them). When we see events as neutral then we can do something with that.
The key point is that you always have a choice. You can choose to see life as oppressing you, or you can choose to see it as neutral and something about which you can have a choice about. Because without choice, we are always reacting, and reactions come from our history, not the current moment. Reactions are our knee-jerk actions – the things we do without thinking. A response is a choice based on what you want in your life. So you can be feeling like a victim, and then choose to take an action that moves you forward despite your circumstances. Our mantra for this action is “Stop, Breathe, Choose.”

The Author
Molly Arbuthnott is a teacher, editor, and academic from Perthshire in Scotland. She is passionate about the promotion of children’s literature. With a solid understanding of literature and the ability to read, she believes you can take on the world.
She uses her experiences from life as inspiration for her writing. Teaming up with four fantastic illustrators has helped to breathe life into the stories. Each story is loosely based on family or friends who have been important in her life whilst also trying to tell stories in an honest and gentle way, singing praise to things we must celebrate in our world. Teaching children to look out for others, work as a team and not be afraid of doing the right thing that is important. Such lessons might then filter through and be reflected in the way we live in the magical world around us.
Each book teams up with a charity which is associated with the theme of the book in some way. Part of the profits from the book sales are then donated to the designated charities.
Possessing an affinity for the world of books, Molly often finds herself at bookshops, libraries, schools and book festivals throughout the UK, sharing interactive and engaging writing and storytelling workshops. She has also started a “My Favourite Books” podcast where she chats with young and old about individual and common book interests.
Molly is keen in ensuring young minds through smart innovation see nature in its most natural format and once they have seen that natural beauty the world has to offer, then right from a very young age they will start to understand how important it is to protect earth’s delicate balance, plus respect and appreciate it. Some of her books open this burning emotion of hers to young kids to explore and think about.
The world of academia is at the heart and soul of this young Scottish woman’s life, she has taught in Italy, Africa as well as the UK. Molly has several degrees from Prestigious universities like St Andrew’s in Scotland and Cambridge in England, she’s recently completed a M.Ed. in Children’s literature from Glasgow University.
Her award-winning books are published through Candy Jar Books publishing house, Cardiff.UK.
Like most authors that come on the show I ask them for a quirky story, simply to ingest a little light humour into the podcast. This is Molly’s story.
Soft Play Area
I loved going to soft play areas when I was young (and still do secretly!) When I was eight, I went to a wonderful soft play area called Jungle Kids. I used the death slide there without my socks!! Halfway down my bare feet stuck to the slide. I jack-knifed and slammed face first onto the slide. I chipped my two front teeth and broke my glasses. My nanny was looking after us at the time. The managers were so horrified by the event that they let me have an endless supply of slush puppy for the day, so as we wouldn’t sue or cause any trouble, I think. I was in heaven and mixed and matched the flavours to my heart’s content and gave lots to my brother too. So, it was a sugar high girl with two front teeth stubs and broken glasses who returned home to my parents that night. I was never allowed back to Jungle Kids!
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/-OTk1XnHM9oList of Molly’s books:
Stand-alone’s:
Simon The Sloth, Angus the Robin, Conrad the Spider, David the Pizzly Bear, and Athena the Cheetah.
The Oscar Series:
Oscar the Italian Cat, Oscar the Hebridean Cat, Oscar the London Cat and Oscar the Ferry Cat.
The Books
Simon the Sloth:
This enchanting story of Simon the sloth is going to inspire young children across the globe to adore sloths and possibly start to see how man is putting their natural habitat the rainforests of Central and South America at risk. Molly has cleverly combined an emblem of Scottish culture, ‘the bagpipe,’ with an adorable but endangered animal, ‘the Sloth,’ to tell an adventure story that will take young kids to the Sahara Desert, the Amazonian Rainforests, to the Himalaya’s, to India and finally on to the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury. It’s amazing what a bit of amber nectar can do. What a wonderful imaginary story backed by glorious illustrations done by Maude Smith.
Oscar the Italian Cat:
This is a quaint and endearing story about Oscar’s idea of a mini romantic trip to Venice in Italy with his girlfriend Mercy. His proposal attempts are thwarted at every turn. This whimsical story will take the kids to the majestic city of Venice one of the many jewels in Italy’s historic culture. Young Kids are going to love this simple but affective story beautifully illustrated by Agnes Treherne.

This episode is based on the book A Flowing Through by David Esling. It is about one teacher’s artistic approach to teaching and learning in a primary school within a socially disadvantaged suburb of Hobart in England.
Welcome to this weeks edition of Newsgram
A common theme here on Newsgram is our ongoing mission to change the world. I would like to leave this world a better place than I found it or at least a better place than it is now and while that may not be possible I have found that introducing you to forward thinkers and change makers can be quite satisfying. Change makers like David Esling. David is a dreamer and we need more of them. He grew up in the UK and attended a boarding school for his education. It was not an easy life and it was probably not the most ideal place for a dreamer but some good came out of all of it — but I’m getting ahead of myself. About the boarding school…
David Esling – The Lessons were very uninspiring. We sat at desks in rows and we had tests every fortnight. The tests we had determined what row and what desk you were sitting in. I frequently could not accept this form of teaching so I tended to dream of imaginary classrooms where we could use our hands to paint and make things.
How many of us can relate to that? An uninspiring eduction that was also accepting of corporal punishment.
David Esling – I was caned for inattention. I was caned for being untidy.
My, how things have changed since 1952. I grew up in the 60’s. A time when we thought hiding under our desks would protect us from a Nuclear bomb and we practiced this exercise regularly. It’s still a threat more now than ever before but we no longer have to worry about being caned or slapped with a ruler. We do have to keep an eye out for mass shooters. My point is, the upside of adversity is it does make us want to change things for the better. Hopefully we can.
David Esling – I had to find another way. All the time as I went through the rest of my schooling I dreamt of being a teacher where I could do things in a different way.
Not only did his dream become a reality but he’s also written a book about it called A Flowing Through: A Series of Artistic Explorations That Flow from Simple Starting Points, Pass by Milestones and Finish with Polished Achievements by David Esling where he documents his process working with primary school aged children.
David Esling – When I started teaching in 1967 I had a class of forty two children. All at desks facing the blackboard and all I had was a stick of chalk and I was dumbfounded. I thought God I’m going to have to teach the way I was taught myself! But I had to find another way so I tried and I began with creative writing and then as my career progressed and the classes got smaller I was able to find other ways through art and mathematics to do practical explorations and by the time I went to Hobart in 1993 I had built up quite a repertoire of creative explorations across the curriculum.
David developed quite a reputation for himself being invited to speak at conferences, contributing to the publications of others and like I said writing his own book. But it wasn’t easy. Change is hard for some. The traditionalists considered him too avant-garde. He had to stay committed to his goal to “find another way” and that meant earning the trust of the school administrators, parents and the kids.
David Esling – I said, I think I can make you want to come to school but I need your help. So I told them about my school days and they couldn’t believe it! I said your school seems to be an awful lot better than mine. Let’s do something about our then to make it even better. They were really excited about the prospect because then they were like, what are we going to do? What’s different? What are we gonna do? And I said, we’re going to do a lot of things together. We’re going to start with Art. We’re going to start with painting abstracts. These are paintings you can do where no one makes mistakes. There’s no fear of failure. So we did it together. I showed them how. A small group at a time and then one group started influencing another group and it spread right through the classroom environment.
A Flowing through — if you will. His idea turned out to be a huge success. It raised their self-esteem and gave the kids a better attitude towards learning, it also improved their relationships with each other. School became an exciting place because now the teacher and the students worked together playing an active role in the learning process. They were learning how to learn by working together.
David Esling – Mr. E often likes to paint alongside the children. It helped him to feel part of the learning group as we were all learning together. Brent saw his teacher practicing his trees on the middle ground of his landscape painting. I think you will be better off testing out a few fir trees, suggested Brent. You’re quite right Brent. I haven’t quite worked out how to paint fir trees, replied his teacher. Come with me Mr. E I’ll show you how beckoned Brent. The teacher pulled over and sat beside him at his workplace. You see Mr. E they are sort of triangle shaped and some of the branches go sideways. They even bend down toward the ground in some places. You only need to paint a few trucks and branches as you can’t see the rest. The leaves, well I just dab them on with a small bristle brush just like what you told us before. He was enthusiastic with his instructions and advice. He had worked it out for himself and was justly proud of his discoveries. His confidence and self satisfaction glowed within his smiles as he continued with his painting . His teacher shared his pleasure. The teacher had become the pupil. The pupil had become the teacher. Pupils and teachers learning together. That was the heartbeat of your learning environment. It was beating, beating, beating, beating….
Anyone who has ever advocated for the removal of art or funding for the arts in school should read this book. And by the way, shame on you. And, I should point out that it wasn’t just about painting landscapes you need to think more broadly.
David Esling – If you look at the book you will see that I spent some time talking about imagery. We started looking at idioms and illustrating the interesting associations of ideas and then we went into the other aspects of imagery and then I got them to consider painting their feelings and then it moved from feelings to concern.
Can you see how painting your feelings and concerns lets you express them in a way that might be hard for some children that are not vocal? Can you see how it allows for the open exchange of ideas, thoughts and can lead to important conversations? Art is also mathematics because imagery can be 3-D and lead to design. What a great way to get kids interested in engineering without even using that word. David is an interesting guy and his book is fascinating. Let me…or better yet him, leave you with a quote from the Chinese philosopher, Confucius.
David Esling – I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Pretty much the story of my life. If you learn by doing, you’re gonna love this book. If you’re a teacher or you work alongside children you will love these stories. Plus, there’s pictures! You not only get to see some of the kids painting but you get to see their finished work. The abstracts are very good!
Each “explorative journey” is accompanied by David’s photographs to help bring life to the explorations. The children’s art was often outstanding, but the journey, rather than the destination, carried the greater significance.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Teacher soul energy healer, medium, and author of her new book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guide Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges on Earth are not merely economic political societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Sam Yau, author of Soul’s Journey, a beautiful collection of poetry that shares the essence of spiritual and physical life as a way to evolve, heal and find happiness by knowing the” truth of life” as this knowledge offers possibilities for completeness and love. The book is beautifully illustrated by Olena Zarakevich with color and intensity that restores working through the chakra energy system for healing and well being as well as Sam’s words which remind us of the true nature of eternal life.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her insightful and amazing guests share intimate stories that awaken the quiet voice of soul within to remember more fully the true nature of spiritual beings having a physical life and how all in dimensions of life, both on earth and beyond we seek to refine energy and grow in higher vibrations of love and compassion as through the challenges of a three dimensional life, we learn to create our lives with purpose and dedication to the changes necessary for all life to thrive.
In today’s episode of Healing from Within we will discover the thoughts and encouragement provided in Sam Yau’s poetry that help foster personal and collective growth. Poetry is a special type of writing that deals with the deepest part of our emotions and spiritual awareness and can bring a great opening of the heart and soul.
Usually events in our lives guide us to our spiritual path and encourage us to use our gifts of art writing music to share the messages from Spirit into the world. What may have been an event or challenge that made Sam’s spiritual writing more important to him?
Sam wrote “In 2016, my son Ryan killed himself with a bullet through his brain. The moment I heard the news I knew my life was changed forever. To grieve, I retreated into seclusion. All my interests at that time dropped away. For more than 20 years, I had been on a journey of personal and spiritual growth. I always knew that I am a spirit. With Ryan’s death, and my desire to be close to him, simply knowing that I am a soul was no longer enough. One day, a question was stuck in my mind that would not go away. What if I live as a soul in human clothes, rather than as a human who has a soul. That pondering set in motion a startling inversion of priority. Asking my soul that question with persistence and commitment catapulted me into a surprising journey that I could not have imagined just a few years ago. I received clear messages from Ryan and uncanny sources to write poems. I had never written a serious poem in my life. But my soul’s whisper was unceasing. With a series of synchronicities and chance encounters, new friends became the angels in my poetry journey. The calling was unmistakable. I surrendered.”
One of Sheryl’s favorite poems in the book reads as follows:
The day you were born, you were given four gifts: self-awareness, free will, an ego, and forgetfulness.
Who animates your heartbeat, activates your breath, comforts you when you are sad,
celebrates with you when you are joyful, shines light through your darkest days, surprises you with joy in your deepest sorrow?
Who awes you with the sun’s first beam that pierces the hilltop, the sunset cloud that sprays golden rays, the wind that waves the green wheat field, the glint that bounces on a blanket of white snow?
Who nudges you to seek meaning and purpose, expand your circle of love, arrive at the unity in diversity, find your way back to Source?
You surge from the ocean of awareness as a desire of the Divine to experience Itself as the unique you: one strand of the infinite glory and variety of Its creations.
You are a wave rising up to the beautiful dance of life, remerging into eternity
Sheryl was asked to write an endorsement to Sam Yau’s book which came at a moment in her life where she needed to validate her own beliefs of eternal life and Sheryl shares what she wrote so perhaps our listeners will see what Sam and I believe to be true: life is not random and miracles are being given to us in so many ways to help us move through the most challenging moments of life we all experience.
Sheryl wrote “Sam Yau in his infinite beautiful creative and truthful vision of soul eternal life in his new book Soul’s Journey has moved my saddened heart and validates with his poetry and Olena Zavakevych’s artwork what lives within me: an uncompromising spirit of unconditional love for nature man and spirit. This week I sadly buried my younger sister and God in his infinite wisdom sent me this powerful book of love in poetic form to brighten my day and remember my sister lives beyond this physical world. She was a poet and artist also. Sam wrote, “May I cross the bridge between realms. I am a soul. I was never born. I will never die. Love will never end. May I live with awareness of veiled truths while shrouded in human form.” This book shares a message of awareness of the depth of our being that all readers may benefit from. Sheryl Glick Host of Internet Radio Show “Healing from Within” Energy Soul Healer/Medium www.sherylglick.com
Sheryl says….The other day I said to a client that we all come from star dust in the universe and your poem Unity in Diversity clearly shares what I was trying to express as over the many years of receiving messages from souls in Spirit which I can only describe as a language of poetry beauty and being in a place of complete peacefulness and calm when I receive these downloads of loving intention to shed light on the true nature of life here on earth and beyond which is expressed in what you wrote,
Fourteen billion years ago, you and I were born of stardust from the explosive expansion of the singularity.
We shared 99.9% of our genes, co-evolved with all of life in this rich biosphere of amazing beauty and diversity.
Formless divinity preceded the creation of form, imbued it with — and enveloped it in— infinite love, buried a spark in each of us, a light to guide us to our source, which is how the human mind discovers the elegant simplicity of mathematics that hold the secrets of the universe, which is how the human heart knows we are deeply connected— to all humanity, to our divine origin, to our collective imagination and manifestation of our future— in a glorious web.
Let’s rejoice in uniqueness, the intimacy in sameness, the admiration of difference. Each of us, a star shining in the tapestry of galaxies in the celestial dome
When asked to tell us of any authors or mentors who have awakened a greater understanding of himself or what it is he finds most wonderful in life
Sam tells us , “My verses, together with the love from my friends and family, have healed me. My poetic musings clarified, distilled, deepened and ingrained the essence of past spiritual experiences onto my being. As I sculpted my poems, my poems were sculpturing me at the same time. Writing poetry has become a most joyous and uplifting spiritual practice for me. The soul’s journey is one that discovers the true nature of the Divine and each soul is love itself. Peeling off all layers of reality, only awareness and love remain. My poems have healed and transformed me, by sharing them I hope they will heal and inspire others.”
Sheryl says It seems we are all being called to remember who we are and what the purpose of a physical life is all about and ultimately in one way or another, the soul responds to its heart’s needs and surrenders life in its most painful ways as it seeks to know the beauty of eternal life. Some need to leave life early and rejoin the others in Spirit at a time and in a way that they planned long before they incarnated into this lifetime and place. For their loved ones left here in life to complete their own soul’s mission, they actually may have helped them to find their life purpose and redefine their courage, by allowing accepting and surrendering to sometimes the most horrific events and pain. But out of suffering comes greater love and awareness, and a higher consciousness of the real beauty of each person’s soul, never perfect but with the capacity to create greater compassion through the challenges of a physical life. We are all fragile and can only heal through our experiences if all experiences are seen as either good or bad: just experience. Then we can begin to accept anything and grow from it in reflection and by allowing us to learn.
Sam Yau might like readers to take away with them after reading Soul’s Journey. What is in his poem Inner Garden is a thought Sheryl shared with her granddaughter Samantha from the time she was so little and when Grandmama asked Sam as everyone but Sheryl calls her, W do you wish for? ” Samantha answered, wistfully, ” I don’t know.” A week later while flying high into the air on a swing she answered me, “I just want to be happy.” and I told her something very similar to what’s written so beautifully in your poem Inner Garden.
There was a time you worried people would not be kind, life would deal you a bad hand. There is a garden inside of you. You are its sole caretaker.
You can plant flowers of love. You can sow seeds of wisdom.
When your garden is safe, your world is safe.
When it is beautiful, your world is beautiful.
When it is peaceful, you become a peacemaker.
Your happiness comes from within, no one can take it away from you.
When you are full inside, you see the half-full world and fill it.
You see the best in others, so they show their best to you.
People will be drawn to you, events will coalesce into what you envision.
Your outer journey takes you to the four corners of the earth.
Your inner one traverses across the universe. There is no outside world. Every time you look outward, it is a projection.
Tend your garden well.
Live inside-out.
The world you experience is within you.
We thank you Sam Yau for sharing from deep within your soul’s remembrance the quiet truth and drive to find peace and happiness and share with the world your spiritual gift of awakening so that others may move past childhood family or world traumas and live in the warmth and pleasantness of better thoughts actions and reactions and build heaven on earth through sheer perseverance for kindness and goodness which is at the heart of all soul’s awaren
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Sam and Sheryl have tried to convey the feelings emotions traumas suffering of life as well as the beauty joy love of a child a sunset a remembrance of our soul’s eternal nature…feelings bringing us to our physical world of constant change and upheaval, of loss and sadness, but then the reemergence and remembrance that one day we will join our beloved sons and daughters, teachers, angels, and higher vibrational beings, as life and love eternal when we truly experience in both the physical and divine realms that which helps us begin to know that all experience is neither good or bad, but needed as a way to share constant creative awareness and higher consciousness.
Unblemished by Sam Yau Listen as Sam shares the truthful messages of Spirit through his heart and mind that reflect a lifetime of discovering Who We All Are?
Do not cry when I return to spirit. Rejoice.
My heart was broken, but I am not shattered.
My mind was fractured, but I am whole.
My body was wrecked, but my soul is unblemished.
Trauma never tarnished the light emanating from me.
I was perfect in my imperfections.
The toils of living— sagging skin, wrinkled face, sloth-like movement— left no trace on my etheric body.
Forever young and ravishing, I will traverse realms in a flash.
I will see in all directions, be anywhere in an instant with mere intention.
I will soar into the light, a garden exploding with roses and harps, surrounded by peaceful mountains, embraced by all my loved ones on the other side.
I see divinity in all of creation: love is its essence.
Sam and Sheryl will have you join us in opening up to the beauty and miracle of life no matter how long or short, how easy or hard, but the plan of our soul to through the challenges of the physical world come to know we are spiritual beings having a physical life for a journey only the bravest and boldest souls embrace and in their exploration of a physical life of challenges, rise above it all to find and bring the magic of life to all souls throughout the Universe, whether in a body or in Spirit and knowing this makes the magic of life all the more wonderful.

Today’s Guest

Despite your commitment to making your marriage better, another year has passed with limited improvement. You really want it to be different but, despite your best efforts, you find yourself falling into the same unproductive patterns. The truth is that it’s really hard to make significant changes. It’s not about willpower or intention. It’s about overriding ingrained patterns. Mindset Coach and Best-Selling author Deano Sutter reveals why these patterns are so hard to break and how to increase your success.
If you want to improve your marriage, Lesli can help. Please share the show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Earth is a place to do. Heaven is a place to be. Your personality reflects your reality.Join me with my guest Mr. Howe Nestel on the final episode of “How to move from intention to action.” Howie shared a concept he learned from Dr. Wayne Dyer. Dr. Wayne Dyer was an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development. Dr. Dyer left us with a reflection that whatever is inside us comes out when stress happens. Our outer perspective (external behavior) may be reactive and generate misinformation because our stress reaction is negative.
Howie Nestel shared that our environment reflects the type of person we are. Try seeing the positive first. Use adaptability as a superpower. Be aware that our perspective about a situation may be wrong. We sometimes talk ourselves out of the positive experience because we are unwilling to adapt and create a reaction that freezes our movement toward happiness and chooses to exist in a hostile environment. Howie points out that happiness is an action, and we must progress toward happiness. Happiness is not a dream utopia. Having a positive destination will help us start the movement toward happiness. Howie Nestel’s response to the United State’s ranking number sixteen on the World’s Happiness scale. We are the people, and we can make the Unites States improve the United State’s world happiness score because we can try harder.
This is the last episode of 2022! I could say all the cliche things about another year coming to an end but I’m sure you’re tired of hearing that by now (I know I am!). In this episode, I share an update about my life, future plans and what’s next for the podcast. I want to thank you all for listening over these years and allowing me to share my story!

Like me, I have a feeling that many of you are aware of inflation, taxes, the Wall Street casino, unexpected illness, and possibly have fears about retirement planning. These are just a few of the “emergencies” everyone faces. Right?
Even if you’re financially successful like many CEOs and entrepreneurs. Our lives can change in an instant. But when life changes it doesn’t have to be catastrophic.

I love this quote. When COVID hit and the work stopped I know I had to pivot hard and unlearn the many things that I had been doing that worked, that stopped working in one day.
UGH! So, learning and unlearning, and relearning are needed approaches. So as a business owner I know I need to keep an open mind, learn new and relevant things every day, and continue to challenge how and why I do the things I do with the thought process of always looking to improve, work smarter not harder, and grow without overwhelm and burnout.

In this week’s episode The Art of Creating Beauty: Invitations from the Universe, Gina explains the two types of invitations. One that intimidates & intrigues. And the other that frightens & (then) enlightens us.
Learn the differences and similarities between the two. The benefits of both are abundant.
During our lifetime we are given many invitations in different ways to step (even) MORE into our truths, desires, and gifts. To be ourselves. And to have a ton of fun doing it.
Those are the invitations we’ll focus on today.
The invitations that intimidate & intrigue us, equally. Those are the invitations you get to choose. You can decide to say, “sign me up” or you can pass it up.
For some these invitations go unacknowledged OR unrecognized. And there are a few who are… well, too busy to notice. And we both know, that’s not you.
Listen in so the next time one appears, you are open to receiving, welcoming with open arms, and ready for the pure BLISS to unfold. Because that’s what this episode is ALL about.
The Universe IS sending you a very special invitation. One that delights.
Are you ready, to be delighted?

Breaking procrastination into chunks of fun, action, and opportunitiesIn this episode, Howie Nestel continues sharing treasures of information on moving from intentions to actions. In the first episode, Mr. Nestel explains how forward progress may be a key motivator toward moving out of a rut from good intentions. In this second episode, Howie explains how stacking opportunities and taking extreme responsibility breaks the tangles of procrastination—taking the small step of being aware of perceptions and reactions to the unknown and accepting a realistic vision of our influence within our environment. Howie calls the step extreme responsibility. Extreme responsibility is to take responsibility for what happened to you. Then redefine the situation. “Did it happen to me? Or did it happen for me?” If we redefine the problem as something that happened for me, we can discover a lesson in the situation. When we become aware of the lesson, we are less likely to make the same error. As a result, our procrastination time is transformed into action time. Transform mistakes or misfortunes into a time into a learning experience opportunity.
The next step in moving forward is to recognize procrastination as a time to change positions and move to help another person. In this episode, Howie shares how to discover action steps to improve situations for others. Allow yourself to move past feelings of hesitation or doubt. Find enjoyment in doing something new, different, and fun. Happiness is a treasure found in life’s processes extracted through gratitude. Enjoy your mindfulness gratitude practice.

Enjoy this encore episodes of one of my post popular episodes! I don’t know about you, but I’ve been having a little anxiety thinking about summer coming to an end and winter will be upon us. I guess I’m still having flashbacks of what we went through last winter and I’m refusing to live through another winter like that. This got me thinking about how I’m going to spend my time over the winter and about hobbies.
Hobbies are good for humanity, but they really don’t really get enough credit for all the benefits they bring! Most of us don’t spend much or any time on hobbies at all, but hobbies shouldn’t be overlooked. I think it’s something everyone should revisit for their own well-being. Hobbies bring a lot of benefits to our lives, especially when things are in chaos.
By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to look at hobbies in a whole new way. You’ll learn how hobbies benefit your physical, emotional and mental health. And you’ll also learn some unique ideas for hobbies that just may surprise you. If you’re burnt out, tired of living every day as groundhog day, a new hobby just might snap you out of that mode and help you rediscover what makes you happy again.
Links mentioned in this week’s show include: 6 Reasons To Get A Hobby, Hobby Study, 97 Unique Hobbies, & Skillpop.

Hello and welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher energy practitioner and author of my newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening and am delighted to welcome Lisa Boucher author of Raising the Bottom to discuss best ways to deal with living in troubled times and in a drinking culture. The Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns and schools closed along with economic problems across the nation has increased stress and naturally people trying to deal with it all sometimes overdue drinking leading to many other emotional and health issues.
Hello Lisa and thank you for joining us on Healing From Within to address a subject which many fail to observe or talk about and in almost every family there is some kind of alcohol abuse going on.
Lisa As listeners of Healing From Within know my guests and I share intimate stories that illuminate the duality of spiritual energetic and physical aspects of life so we may come to answer age old questions of Who We are, how life originated and come to create better lives through knowing answers to these relevant questions. Life as an eternal energy force allows us to know that the answers lie within our soul wisdom and real happiness does not come from the outside world or a drink, drugs wealth and hedonistic pursuits.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Lisa Boucher will offer hope to many listeners who may be struggling with alcohol and other addictions letting them know they are not alone during these especially challenging times and will help them examine and become aware of their behaviors identify any problem areas and stop destructive patterns before they make one feel so helpless to find ways to cope.
- Lisa I alway around them the lifestyle and work they might embrace as an adult for I believe the life plan and destiny of each of us begins within the soul and we are here to find greater love and peace from within which has nothing to do with the outside world and the problems we perceive realistically or create through fear.Lisa tells us how grateful she is to choose not to drink and not follow the path of her mother and others who she saw suffer so much from drinking, She wrote, “The biggest testimony that I made a great decision in 1989 to quit drinking is that I’m not the same person I used to be. By God’s grace, my twins have only known a sober mother. I have changed in a big way—and all of the positive modifications allowed me to complete my education, hold a job, stay married to the same man for thirty-plus years, and raise my sons, both of whom went on to become Division I athletes, graduate college, and secure jobs. Not bad for what certainly would have been a very different outcome had I not quit drinking.
- So how do people who have come from an alcoholic family and maybe genetically predisposed to alcoholism through genetic influences handle living in a boozy culture? Recovery meetings can be found all over the world. They’re free, and they work. Some people find sobriety in the church. Others have tried programs such as Moderation Management (MM), which asks people to set guidelines and women to keep to no more than nine drinks a week.5 The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism’s guideline for women is no more than seven drinks a week. MM says they want to reach the early problem drinker who doesn’t want to be Women and Alcohol: It’s Complicated 81 labeled an alcoholic—but that panders to the denial and alcoholic ego that needs to be checked anyway. Not labeling yourself an alcoholic when in fact you are an alcoholic nixes any chance for real recovery. Recovery is about getting honest. Addiction causes changes in the brain. It’s a real problem that has nothing to do with willpower, which is another misconception that must be smashed. There are people out there, many working in medicine, who still think alcoholism or drug addiction is just a matter of will power, morals, or the ability to say no. That fallacy does nothing to help the suffering. As chemical dependency counselor John C. points out in his upcoming story, “The saddest thing is when a person asks for help and they’re pointed in the wrong direction.”
- Why did you decide to write this book at this time?Lisa always felt destined to write but perhaps her most important project was to use her personal and professional experience to write about alcoholism and help others to see what starts out as supposedly FUN is really a deadly disease with consequences.
Lisa wrote in Raising the Bottom, ”Early or potential alcoholism manifests in ways that, unless you understand the disease, no one labels as alcoholism: multiple marriages, anxiety, health problems, weight problems, lives plagued by resentment, and chaotic relationships with family and friends. I’ve been immersed in alcoholism since my first breath of life. Like others who were once immersed in the mayhem of the disease and now are recovering, I’ve become an expert at recognizing alcoholism and all of the subtleties that I hate: I hate what it does to women, their families, and especially their children, who have little say-so in the matter. We are conditioned to believe that alcohol is synonymous with fun, yet for so many families, alcohol bites back in the form of dysfunctional or broken homes, domestic violence, health problems, fractured relationships, and devastating mishaps. From afar, I recognize the disease swirling around families, yet they remain oblivious to the looming heartaches on the horizon, all because they lack knowledge and don’t understand the many faces of alcoholism 4. What are some of the ways a person can begin to deal with this addiction and what are some of the long -term consequences of those who become alcoholics and overdrink?Through reading their stories, as well as anecdotes from other women, you’ll come to learn the truth of the statement found in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous that female drinkers experience condemned futures far sooner than males. No one wants to be the downer at the party, but for a lot of women, alcohol is an Introduction xv problem—yet they go to the party anyway. Talk of saturated lives and jaundice elicits nary a blink. Women tell me they drink because they have problems, when the truth is that they have problems because they drink. The solution stares us in the face, but we don’t like the option, so we move on to something else: antidepressants, therapy, self-help books, yoga, holistic healers—the list goes on . . . my God, just don’t tell me to quit drinking.
Is Mixing Alcohol and Drugs Dangerous? Yes. This article starts by discussing the general and specific dangers of mixing alcohol with other popular drugs like benzodiazepines and opioids. Next, we discuss mixing alcohol with drugs to treat common mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. We end the article by exploring addiction treatment options for alcohol use disorders.
Is Alcohol a Drug?
Yes. Alcohol is a drug that affects the central nervous system (CNS). It has a proven ability to temporarily diminish mental capacity and create uncoordinated movement.
Is Alcohol a Depressant?
Yes. Alcohol is a depressant when drunk in excess. It works by blocking certain receptors in the brain. The result is slowed cognitive function.
Is Alcohol a Stimulant?
No. Alcohol is not a stimulant. However, the first few drinks of alcohol cause dopamine (the happy chemical) to be released by the brain. This
General Dangers of Mixing Alcohol and Other Substances
Because alcohol is the most widely available mind-altering substance, it is frequently mixed with other drugs. However, mixing alcohol with other drugs can be dangerous.
Overdose
The risk of overdosing while intoxicated is increased greatly when mixing with alcohol. Alcohol tends to worsen the negative effects of other drugs or reduce their effectiveness. Common causes for overdose include liver failure, severe depression of the central nervous system, blood poisoning, heart failure, and asphyxiation.
Accidents
Alcohol affects decision making, reaction time, and the senses. Because of this, alcohol-impaired drivers cause almost 30 accidents per day. In fact, alcohol causes nearly 28% of all fatal traffic accidents. A majority of drunk driving accidents occur on the weekends or near holidays. The fine for a DUI can cost up to $6,000.00 in some states and can also result in being charged with a felony. Mixing alcohol, even when not operating a vehicle, can lead to accidental bodily harm caused by uncoordinated movement and lowered senses.
Specific Dangers by Class of Drug
Depressants and Alcohol
Depressants and alcohol have compounding effects. Alcohol as a depressant works in conjunction with other depressants to severely slow the CNS. This can result in:
* Labored breathing
* Extreme fatigue
* Poor memory
* Delirium
* Hallucinations
* Liver failure
* Seizures
* Long-term dependencyDepressants and alcohol have compounding effects. Alcohol as a depressant works in conjunction with other depressants to severely slow the CNS. This can result in:
* Xanax (alprazolam)
* Ativan (lorazepam)
* Klonopin (clonazepam)Depressants and alcohol cause a number of negative effects in the body. The most profound effect they have is on memory. Depressants and alcohol can cause extreme memory loss. This happens due to a breakdown between short and long-term memory more commonly known as a blackout.
Stimulants and Alcohol
There’s a misconception that mixing alcohol with a stimulant can cancel out the effects of both. In actuality, alcohol and stimulates effect completely different parts of the body. This means they’re not so much canceling out but instead are working independently. However, the misconception that stimulants and alcohol cancel out can lead to further abuse of both drugs. The increased chemical intake of mixing alcohol can put massive stress on the liver. The resulting liver failure causes unfiltered toxins to be released back into the body. We’ve listed a few of the commonly abused stimulants:
* Adderall
* Cocaine
* MethThe main concern when mixing alcohol and stimulants, or even taking stimulants alone, is heart issues. In excess, stimulants and alcohol cause a dramatically increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and confusion. The main causes of death are heart attack, stroke, arrhythmia, and seizure. Long-term abuse of stimulants and alcohol can lead to a permanently weakened heart. This is due to prolonged rapid heartbeats and small, unnoticed heart attacks.
Opiates/Opioids and Alcohol
Opioids vary between prescription medication and controlled substances. Opiates and alcohol have a synergetic effect on the CNS. The side effects of opiates and alcohol are:
* Drowsiness
* Sensory disruption
* Hallucination
* Manic behavior
* Paranoia
* Depressed breathingHere is a list of common opiates and opioids:
* Fentanyl
* OxyContin
* Methadone
* HeroinThe greatest risk of mixing alcohol and opioids is hypoxia. Hypoxia occurs when insufficient air reaches the muscles and brain. Opiates and alcohol increase the risk of hypoxia by disrupting the CNS. Hypoxia can be fatal within minutes without help.
Painkillers and Alcohol
Tramadol is a name brand opioid that shares the same risk as other opioids. This includes drowsiness, confusion, and hypoxia. Using Tramadol and alcohol increases these risks. Any mixture of painkillers and alcohol can have severe side effects. Furthermore, painkillers are often prescribed after surgery or injury.
However, alcohol lowers the immune system and slows down the healing process. As such, mixing painkillers and alcohol is as counter-intuitive as it is dangerous. Painkillers and alcohol also put a severe strain on the liver. Specific Dangers From Drugs That Treat Medical Conditions
Chronic Pain
Generally, chronic pain medication is a prescription to OxyContin or other opioids. This means they share all of the following side effects:
* Drowsiness
* Sensory disruption
* Hallucination
* Manic behavior
* Paranoia
* Depressed breathing
* Sleep Disorders Sleep disorder medication and alcohol can be especially dangerous. During sleep, the heart rate is lowered along with breathing. Adding a chemical cocktail of depressants can lead to an accidental overdose.Common sleep disorder medications include:
* Restoril
* Valium
* AmbienThe combination of sleep medicine and alcohol can lead to hypoxia, brain damage from lack of oxygen, comas, and severe lethargy. Long-term mild use of sleep medication and alcohol can prolong insomnia and sleep-related illness. This is due to alcohol’s effect on REM sleep.
Antibiotics and Alcohol
Some antibiotics should be avoided when drinking alcohol. Metronidazole or tinidazole and alcohol can cause the following symptoms:
* Feeling sick
* Hot Flashes
* Stomach pain
* Irregular heartbeat
* Dizziness
* DrowsinessCombining linezolid and alcohol can cause dangerous increases in blood pressure. While mixing doxycycline and alcohol will reduce the effectiveness of the antibiotic.
Dangers From Drugs That Treat Mental Health Conditions
Anxiety
Despite any short-term euphoria, mixing alcohol and anxiety can have negative effects. Alcohol can lessen the amount of serotonin (the other happy chemical) and wreak havoc on communication between parts of the brain.
Alcohol and anxiety both disrupt logical thought which can make negative thoughts all the stronger. Typically, benzodiazepines are prescribed for anxiety. These drugs include:
* Xanax
* Ativan
* Klonopin
* ValiumThe main shared danger between these drugs is depressed breathing that borders on hypoxia. There is also a high chance of acute liver failure.Bipolar Disorder
Studies have shown a link between bipolar disorder and alcohol. Alcohol affects mood and chemical balances in the brain. A person with bipolar disorder may already be dealing with issues regarding brain chemistry. This means alcohol runs the risk of furthering these issues. Alcohol can also induce a manic state in someone with a bipolar disorder. A manic state is characterized by a rush of euphoria, rapid speech, and a shorter attention span.
Common medications for bipolar disorder include:
* Equetro
* Depakote
* Lithobid
* LamictalMixing mood stabilizers and alcohol can cause negative effects because alcohol and most mood stabilizers have similar side effects. This includes drowsiness, irritability, and confusion.Borderline Personality Disorder Unlike bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder changes can occur instantly and disappear within hours. In contrast, changes from bipolar disorder can last months. There isn’t a shared consensus as to what causes borderline personality disorder. However, brain chemistry is assumed to be a major factor. This means mixing alcohol with borderline personality disorder can intensify the effects of the disorder. Borderline personality disorders can be treated with the same drugs as bipolar disorder. It’s worth noting that treatment for this condition can be a combination of medication for antipsychotic, anti-depressant, and anti-anxiety. However, the biggest threat in this case is the harm to natural brain chemistry. Mixing a borderline personality disorder with alcohol can cause severe synaptic misfiring, worsening depression, and more frequent mood shifts.
Depression
Having depression and an alcohol use disorder is a common occurrence. Depression affects millions of people every year. It is one of the most prevalent mental health issues. Depression and alcohol abuse can cause dependency and worsened depression. Alcohol lowers levels of serotonin and dopamine resulting in increased risk or symptoms of depression. Depression could be caused by genetics, environment, brain chemistry, or any combination of the 3. However, it is generally characterized by negative thoughts and moods. Alcohol can not only increase the likelihood of negative thought but also lower cognitive function. This results in negative thoughts that can seem inescapable. Depression medication can include:
* Zoloft
* Prozac
* Lexapro
* CelexaFor the most part, depression medication and alcohol have compounding effects. This means one of the biggest risks when mixing is an overdose from acute liver failure.
PTSD
PTSD is characterized by negative thoughts, uncontrollable mood swings, altered brain chemistry, and hallucinations. Alcohol and PTSD are a volatile combination. Alcohol can counteract PTSD medication and increase the severity of the symptoms. PTSD medication can include:
* Zoloft
* Minipress
* Propranolol
* ProzacMixing these drugs with alcohol can cause heart issues, liver failure, stroke, and high blood pressure. However, the biggest concern is the increased risk of suicide.All above information taken from Tom Anderson Education Coordinator for www.blueprintsforrecovery.com
- What organizations or places or treatments are available to help people find support?Treating Addiction to Alcohol and Other Substances
Getting treatment for alcohol addiction is better done sooner than later. This is especially true when there are underlying illnesses and other substance use. Addiction rewires the brain and relapse can occur because of emotional triggers, environmental changes, and more. Professional help for addiction will typically include the following.
Therapy
Therapy can help discover the cause of addiction. It can also provide coping mechanisms for dealing with emotional triggers. Therapy also provides a safe space to work through issues. Lastly, therapy can help smooth the transition from addiction to a stable and thriving life.
Medicine
Medicine can help ease the physical symptoms of withdrawal. Addiction can cause a number of life-long illnesses including reduced liver capacity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and compromised immune systems. Medicine helps abate these symptoms.
Support System
Finding a healthy support system is a key step toward recovery. Recovery is a lifelong process and involves a community. Without a support system, the chance of relapse is increased. Lastly, a support system can help separate someone with a dependency from harmful influences. 6. Can you tell us any of the success stories of people you have worked with and maybe some failures as well? First Lisa tells us her own choice to stop drinking and writes, “I quit drinking in my late twenties, and that decision mostly had to do with my then-sober mother, who pointed out that my drinking started to look shady. I chose to listen to her concerns, and because I listened, I saved myself from years of self-manufactured hell. With one healthy decision, the whole trajectory of my life changed. For twenty-three years I’ve been a registered nurse; I have seen and heard it all. I’ve worked in emergency rooms and psych wards, and both departments are magnets for dysfunctional drinkers and alcoholics. Lives implode all over the place, and much of the time the blame is placed on everything but the drinking or the prescription- or xvi Raising the Bottom street-drug use. Furthermore, most doctors know nothing about alcoholism or addiction—they can barely spot a real alcoholic, let alone a budding alcoholic. There, I said it. Health care needs a complete overhaul in this area 7. Is it possible for some people to have a moderate amount of drinking without being compromised or addicted to it? What type of person might this be in your estimation?Lisa wrote, “ I have come to learn one truth: women who don’t have drinking problems never get accused of having drinking problems. Twenty- eight years ago, when my own mother mentioned my drinking, she recognized a shift—it was in my behavior and the way I drank. When people start to mention your drinking, it’s because they’ve seen a change; your actions are no longer isolated. Your family, your friends, your employer—no one is going to tell you that they think you drink too much, unless of course it’s true that you do. And when they do speak up, what other motive would they possibly have other than that they care?”
Sheryl says that drinking and drug addiction can also present as a genetic predisposition if parents or grandparents had a drinking problem. Could be genetic then.
Lisa says, “I’ve lived with an active alcoholic in one form or another my entire life—and, well, it takes one to know one. Chaos and crises become a way of life that seems normal. Often women recognize they have a problem, but plenty of them are okay with that knowledge and party on until the bottom falls out. I’ve worked with hundreds of women over the years, and the common thread is that most all the women dubbed themselves social drinkers, myself included, until we learned that there was nothing social about the way we drank. In addition, most alcoholics are functional and hold jobs—people don’t realize that either. As for the mothers whose stories are in this book, all said their biggest regret was that they were not present for their children, mentally and/ or emotionally. They all agreed they got caught up in their selfishness, depression, and self-centeredness, and that they turned inward, failing to recognize that right under their noses their children were in jeopardy.
Sheryl says in becoming an alcoholic or addict some person from a drinking background or family may have a predisposed or genetic factor and may take that one drink and the switch is turned on and they need to continue infusing their bodies with the addictive substance. Often these people come from families where parents or grandparents had a problem with substance abuse. So the key might be to tell children not to start in the first place. The consequences to health prosperity and long- term relationships are major and affect all areas of a person’s life once the disease spirals out of control. For listeners who would like to hear more about families handling this from Marc Treitler and his daughter Lianna who wrote about his family’s genetic predisposition to alcoholism and how they conquered it, read their book Alcohol Drugs You and Your Children and listen to the interview that can be found on Healing From Within website www.sherylglick.com November 2019 Special Edition.
What would you tell your kids or teenagers in general about drinking or doing drugs? The women Lisa writes about range from the über bright—a board certified surgeon who holds a PhD in neurophysiology (she admits she learned nothing and knew nothing about alcoholism despite all her education and medical training)—to a former Washington DC socialite, to a teacher, nurses, a massage therapist turned jewelry maker, and another physician who admits she used to pass out while breastfeeding her fourth child.
Most of the women had no idea their problems were caused by alcohol. None felt they fit the stereotypical mold of what they thought a problem drinker or alcoholic looked like. All of them, like me, were baffled by their behavior, confused by serial marriages, broken by an unexplained emptiness, and devastated by a loneliness and spiritual bankruptcy that only an alcoholic or addict can understand.
Through all the misery, anyone peering at our lives from the outside in might see suburban normalcy, privilege, or even wealth. I purposely sought out women who were like me when they quit drinking—women who looked like they could not have a problem with alcohol. For most of us, it was inner turmoil that precipitated our higher bottoms.
Families often contribute to the problem. It takes courage to stand up to the family members whose only idea of fun includes copious amounts of drinks, even when you insist that you want a better quality of life than cocktails, bars, and getting blotto on the beach.
Sheryl says It has been discovered that the younger you become involved with alcohol or drugs the greater the risk of becoming addicted to it. 8. What would you like readers of Raising the Bottom Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture to take away with them after reading the book?Lisa might want women to remember why they might not show up fully mature and independent and need alcohol as a crutch to face life’s challenges. What would a grown-up do? Sometimes we roar through life and have no idea how to show up as an adult.
All of the women in this book showed up for life in a less-than-adorable manner. It’s not so much the things that happened to us in life that hurt us, it’s our reaction to those things and the way we think about our struggles that caused all the pain.
If you think you’d benefit from not drinking but the thought of not drinking elicits a loud groan and an overwhelming sense of panic, keep reading. Maybe you will discover some shadowy but necessary truths about yourself.
Women who drink too much or abuse prescription or illegal drugs seem to possess one of several unhealthy mindsets, and most of those mindsets are governed by fear. Fear wears hundreds of different outfits
Fear may show up as a control freak who tries to micromanage everyone’s life, including family, coworkers, lovers, spouses, and friends. This woman wants to control the uncontrollable. She is terrified of letting go.
Fear may also show up as a perfectionist. This is the woman who fears she won’t be good enough and genuinely wants people to like her. However, she may go about it the wrong way. She forces her will on people, places, and situations that she has no business trying to control. Then, when people push back, this same woman cries and wonders why everyone is so mean!
Fear may show up with low self-esteem, and it can manifest in other ways too. For example, I felt entitled to bitch about everyone and everything, without ever looking at my part in the chaos. Other people crave special attention just so they can feel normal. Sure, women who don’t drink may have some of these personality defects, but we need not worry about the women who can have one or two glasses of wine and be done for the month. We’re talking about the woman riddled with deep-seated fears, emotions, and/or unresolved longings who has found her solution to be alcohol.
I want to thank you Lisa Boucher RN author of Raising the Bottom for addressing a topic I have been concerned about for a long time and now in these unusually heightened stressful times for mothers and other women dealing with a deadly plague that has affected every country every family and workplace in the world increasing political religious and economic changes happening just like a tennis ball machine shooting their balls out at rapid speed dealing with overkill tendencies towards alcoholism or other addictions or full blown alcoholic episodes which over the long haul damage the health and lifespan of the abuser is a must talk about story and we must find help for as many as we can. To read more about detecting and helping those with alcohol abuse go to www.raisingthebottom.com
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have discussed the signs, symptoms and long term effects that excessive use of alcohol or other addictions can have on the health of family life, children relationships and work status that will all be affected if the disease is not addressed and conquered.
Lisa wrote, “ I’ve worked in emergency rooms and psych wards for over twenty years. That’s a lot of undocumented research; I have friends who work in hospitals all over the country. Their experiences mirror my own—substance abuse in one form or another contributes to an overwhelming amount of hospital admissions, either directly or indirectly. What I’ve seen is that people end up in emergency rooms and psych wards because of substance abuse. The traumas, the wrecks, the falls, the esophageal varices, the bad livers, the cocaine-induced heart attacks, the fights, the shootings and stabbings, the depression, the anxiety, the generalized malaise that seems to overtake too many young people and sends them in search of antidepressants and disability checks—all too often, these have the common denominator of alcohol and/or drugs.
Lisa and Sheryl would have our listeners know that life is a precious gift and the birthright of our soul is happiness and health, but the physical world relationships and economic stresses put a burden on the heart and mind of so many people often traumatized in childhood who carry the wounds of life that can lead to alcoholism and abuses. Finding sources that can help is the key to conquering this disease and Please begin to ask for help from family, friends and Spirit. Help will come.

Lately, I have noticed that having a digital presence is a necessity for your career or business. It’s a glimpse into who you are, what you do, what you stand for, and your core values both personally and professionally.
It is important for people to see you as a person instead of just a business. If you really want to earn their trust, you need to harness the power of your personal story. You can always find a way to weave personal details and feelings into the business stories you tell, and when you do, they will work much better at creating points of human connection
For me, it is always about the human connection and how we can show up to support our ideal clients. So our stories matters and can impact your career or business growth!

I am proud of many things I have accomplished in my life. The thing I am most proud of is being a mom. For me my mom’s job has always been the most important job I’ve had.
At times I have felt completely inadequate only to be surprised by something amazing my kids did or watching them interact with others using wonderful communication skills. compassion, and respect. So, I know I must have done some things right along the way…lol.
Being a working mom and then a small business owner when my kids were young, my husband and I needed to create structure, routines, and clear expectations which allowed us to have a home filled with peace and joy in our family unit.

This must-read book presents both practical and theoretical perspectives about how people can use leadership to create and deliver value for both the individual and the common good in the twenty-first century. It also challenges the thinking of the reader about their idea of leadership as well as provides a key insight for today’s leaders.
The goal of Leadership Makes the Difference but Leaders Matter is to get you to question your previously held assumptions about leadership and to improve the quality of your own leadership skills. The book points out striking differences between the concept of leader and leadership. The argument is presented that though leaders matter, leadership makes the difference in bringing about necessary, constructive change, which is the ultimate goal of leadership.
Leadership Makes the Difference explains that being in a leader’ s position does not guarantee leadership because leadership itself is a concept of shared influence which begins not with influence but with ideas and vision. Leadership centers around communication and actions, with trust, power, influence, commitment, and competence as core pillars. The book also discusses the role of trust an the sources of power as the main avenues for negotiating power in leadership.
Are you driven to lead or driven to leadership?

How can the universal church know it needs a change, a renewal of truth, if the people don’t even know we have a serious problem?
What if evil influences got into the foundation of our Christian doctrine back in the Dark Ages, hiding the true character of God, turning multitudes against the God of Jesus Christ, and stealing our faith and miracles? Wouldn’t you want to know? The book addresses the fables in our Christian doctrine and includes the truth about God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—the one true God. The author feels like a lawyer for God, and the evidence is pure Scripture.
Knowing who God is and His design of divine partnership with His children will assist you in believing in the power of your own prayers that will produce your miracles. Without the church coming back to what Jesus taught about God, it could continue to render itself helpless against evil principalities and their hold on mankind.
Isn’t it time God was out of the shadows? America and this world are desperate to see the miracles of God!

This episode is based on the book Twelve Years in Alaska; A Spiritual Journey by Melissa L. Farrell. It is a series of articles that grew out of her quest to find a way to live with being an open empath. A person with the ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another individual.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
How are you feeling? It’s an appropriate question given today’s subject matter. What do you know about empathy? I want to start out today with a quick lesson because there is a difference between empathy and being an Empath. Empathy is simply the ability to understand the feelings of others. Hopefully we all have this ability. It makes you human. However being an empath would give you the ability to tap into and take on the emotions of the people around you. Think about that for a minute. Actually being able to know physically how someone feels because you can feel it too. That’s some next level stuff.
Empaths are highly sensitive people and while they probably make pretty good listeners they do need to choose their friends wisely because…well, feeling your feelings is great if you’re a happy person but what about anger, negativity and pessimism. These can be awfully draining.
Have you ever met an Empath? Today her name is Melissa.
Melissa L. Farrell – I was born an empath and I lived in San Diego county with better than 100,000 people there, and I would absorb everything of all of the people that were around me and couldn’t differentiate what was me and what was them.
That can be a real challenge. It would probably force me to seek some professional advice.
Melissa L. Farrell – It took a lot of years, counseling and one of the reasons I got into Psychology was to try to figure this stuff out.
And as you might expect, it would also force you to seek out some solitude which is all explained in her book Twelve Years in Alaska A Spiritual Journey
Melissa L. Farrell – The twelve years in Alaska were important because I am an Empath. My younger sister married a man that was stationed at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska . We went up, my mother and my son and I went up one year to visit with her and see the place. I had decided that Alaska would be a good place for me and I absolutely did. We were driving along the number two highway in Alaska, got to this one place and my heart space opened up absolutely wide and I said to my sister Terri, “Where are we?” and she said “This is Salcha Alaska” and that’s where I ended up living. There were only nine hundred people living in Salcha so I could hear me, I could feel me, I could deal with my own issues in those twelve years.
I looked it up. Salcha is about forty miles south of Fairbanks and it’s a very beautiful place. It is next to the Salcha River, a popular fishing destination but enough about that. I just wanted to give you a feeling of the serenity you could expect to see and feel and if you’re an Empath how calming this area must be. It’s no wonder she chose to stay there.
There’s something else that you need to know about Melissa. In 1964, when she was in her twenties she was driving her mothers Corvair with her brother John when she suffered a Near Death Experience.
Melissa L. Farrell – The near death experience changes everything so much. It isn’t a matter of growing through it and learning it little by little. I mean you have the experience and everything is changed and I mean physically, emotionally, spiritually, your outlook on life everything changes. Coping with that is another issue.
I was going to read you a section of the book where she talks about her experience but to be honest it is so well written that you will get the most out of it by reading it yourself. Melissa is a great storyteller. I will leave you with just the last five words in the story. “John was my first Ghost” — how’s that for an incentive?
Melissa L. Farrell – My hope for the reader
is that they will find something in one or more of the articles that help them to find their own private, personal path in life. That’s whet this whole experience in my life has been for me was to find the path that is right for me in life and I just wanted to give the opportunity to maybe find their own.
Oh yes, the articles. Before I wrap up I should let you know that there are thirty different articles on various subjects where she shares her life experiences in the hope that it will give you some perspective and help you on your own spiritual journey.
It’s probably the thing that is most fascinating about this book. Not just the near death experience, the ghosts or the things that happened to her but the way she shares it with the reader. Her unique brand of wisdom. There is no agenda. It’s just the telling of a story in hopes that you will find strength in the stories the guidance to find your path and begin to live your own story.
Check out her blog or download your copy from her website or at your favorite online bookseller — Walmart, Barnes and Noble, Amazon or wherever you like to buy books. There are links to all of these places in the shows description. And that will do it for this Empath edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Do you struggle with heartache from the death of a loved one or a major life adversity? Do you blame God for allowing such a painful thing to happen? Delores J. Porter has answers for you in her hope-filled new book, God Doesn’t Do Evil That Good May Come.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
When bad things happen do you blame God? It’s easy to do. It’s part of our nature to point the finger when things happen. Depending on your religion we are brought up being afraid of the wrath of God. However, getting to the bottom of what is really going on is much harder.
Delores J. Porter – On the Christian radios that I listen to every single day sometime in every sermon they would blame God. God’s in total control, every death, every situation bad or good that happens God either did it or allowed the devil to do it. I knew in my heart all my life that cannot be right. That would mean demons work for God.
That is Delores J. Porter and yes, there is a lot going on in the statement. Delores is the author of the book God Doesn’t Do Evil That Good May Come and in it sheexamines what God Himself says about His character-in His Word-and shows why He isn’t behind the sorrows and tragedies of our lives. She corrects some of the misunderstandings in traditional theology.
Delores J. Porter – God is not guilty for any of the adversities in our lives. God is love. It’s kind of like a missing link in our theology that made God seem like he’s the big bad wolf and that all judgment and wrath comes from him which it doesn’t it comes from the law of sin and death and the old testament authors they didn’t have the Holy Spirit joined at them yet, see and so God had to use illustrations and all kinds of things to talk to them but they thought that God and the law of sin and death were one and the same so that’s one reason that makes the old testament sound like God is the god or wrath and judgement and the more that I heard that revelation and the more that I studied the more it burned inside of me. God is the god of health and love and people don’t have to be afraid of him.
Delores says she was moved to write this book in defense of God. We are so quick to blame God for the terrible things that happen in our lives. When the truth is when bad things happen, God weeps, God suffers, with us.
Delores talks about how she came to these conclusions and she gives you some background on who she is so you can better understand her motivation for writing this book and her other books, The Truth About God, God Out of the Shadows: ~Book Two and of course the one we are talking about today, God Doesn’t Do Evil That Good May Come: ~Book One which was recently rereleased.
Delores J. Porter – I’ve been a Christian all my life. I got saved so young I don’t even remember getting the experience but I do remember some experiences at about eight and nine years old. I saw a vision of Jesus when I was about eight. I was raised in church and I love Jesus so much I played church all the time and I just studied the picture of the babies face in the manger and I said, in my mind, a child’s thought “I wonder what Jesus looks like now”, all at once the room turned neon white and I just laid there and here Jesus appeared right in the middle. It was his face, chest up. He just smiled at me, it was just like peripheral vision.
Delores is not just an author, she is also a teacher, a speaker, and a songwriter. After the events of 9/11 she became driven to show everyone that God didn’t cause the tragic events of that day.
Delores J. Porter – The next morning I was praying on my treadmill and grieving with God because I knew he would get blamed.
And this became the impetus for her books.
Delores J. Porter – So I was praying and I saw a vision of the twin towers that is stuck in our minds that we first saw, the smoke and two towers and I saw that and then I saw Jesus’s face in the clouds crying tears like rain all over it. It was not him. He had nothing to do with it. Words came to me when I was praying and it was coming in first person like God speaking straight to me and to America and so I thought I’d better write this down so I jumped off the treadmill with a Kleenex in one hand and pencil in the other.
She wrote down what she heard and it’s in her book in the form of a letter. She hopes that all of her books will inspire you to seek God for the comfort He wants to give you. To gain new hope that instead of heartache, He has healing for you in body, soul, and spirit.
God Doesn’t Do Evil That Good May Come
by Delores J. Porter
Delores J. Porter (God is love) When I was writing this book I felt like I was a lawyer for God and I felt like I was standing on top of the North Pole speaking to whole world. It is written on a sixth grade level. one oof the most challenging things would be that I tried to make it simple enough but yet complete enough to not to leave anything out. to make it make sense and actually this revelation of God makes more sense to me than anything that id heard all my life. God is love and God is not guilty of orchestrating the adversities in anyone’s life.

This is an encore episode of one of my most popular episodes and one you definitely won’t want to miss!!
“You are an infinite being with infinite potential. All you need to do is open yourself to a new consciousness, a true vision of who you really are and awaken to the power within”. What if we all believed that? My guest this week is Gerry Hussey, author of the book Awaken Your Power Within: Let Go of Fear, Discover Your Infinite Potential and Become Your True Self.
Gerry first thought about committing suicide around the age of 11 and he spent years going to doctors only to find nothing was physically wrong with him. One doctor even told him it was all in his head and he was just making excuses not to go to school! Even though doctors couldn’t physically find anything wrong, Gerry knew something wasn’t right with the amount of fear and anxiety he was living with everyday. This book is an amazing story of relentless pursuit to move out of fear and anxiety and into the life we are all meant to live. Each chapter has practical exercises and questions you can use on your own journey.
Gerry and I cover so many things in this interview from the familiar fear and anxiety we all face to consciousness, the brain, your mind and the observer part of ourselves and how each part is separate to make up the whole. Gerry’s insight gave me a whole new way to view how our thoughts feed our brain (not our mind – our brain) and how much control we really do have over what goes on inside our head. I said at the beginning of this interview that this book has all the right questions in it that you need to ask yourself to move into a different way of living. Gerry is an amazing human and his book is a must have for everyone on the journey of self-discovery.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Dave Ramsey
“Money is 80% behavior, 20% head knowledge. It’s what you do, not what you know.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/056gRrh8CZYCheck Out These Highlights:
I love the 80/20 rule. It is true for many aspects of our personal and professional lives. So of course, the 80/20 rule is true for money habits too?
We all know you can’t save and spend money at the same time. That’s an example of knowledge, right? Yet, how hard is it to save when we or our families need things? For example, the car needs to be fixed or you need to buy a new car and have a car payment again. A car is not a luxury after all
Money seems to slip away easily, especially if we don’t have a financial plan in place.

Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/qTtdCP1UcbsAbout Shavonda Griffin:
Shavonda Sharre Griffin, a lifelong resident of the Manasota area, is a humanitarian, Minister, youth organizer, Credit Repair & Financial Consultant, REALTOR®, Insurance Agent, poet, author, inventor and so much more.
A graduate of Palmetto High School in 1997, and a graduate of Manatee Community College (n/k/a State College of Florida) with an Associate Degree in Social Work. As president of Active Concerned Team, Inc. (A.C.T. Now) Shavonda worked to instill the philosophy that there are no limits for someone who tries their best and gives their all; to look beyond what is perceived and to think outside the box. She has been active in the community for over twenty years, starting many community organizations, such as “Youth of Empowerment” back in 2003, and Active Concerned Citizens, Inc. in 2007, and receiving praise, honor, and awards for her numerous efforts; winning a Hometown Hero Award from the Henry Lawrence Foundation in February 2010, a Humanitarian Award presented at the Unsung Hero Awards ceremony hosted by Wayne Washington held in May 2010 and Unsung Heroine Award from the Manatee County Branch NAACP in 2012.
Shavonda worked as the State of Florida Representative for the Warren Foundation from 2006 through 2009. Her duties were to set up after school programs to help “at-risk” children at Title I schools throughout the state. She advanced the program to the next level and added a curriculum to enhance the mindset of the youth and instructors. Mr. Warren was so impressed by the improvements of the program that he implemented the same curriculum requirements to four other states as well.
As a poet and an author, in November 2005 Shavonda hosted “Open Mic Night” at Saxes Jazz Club in downtown Sarasota, FL, allowing many local talents to come and express themselves through poetry and storytelling, as well as through visual and performance art. She wrote and published her first book of poetry in 2009. However, Shavonda’s participation in the community is not just limited to work with her own organization and community projects. She has participated in other numerous community functions and events, such as speaking at the NAACP Election Event, participating in the Sarasota Easter Parades, participating in Manatee and Sarasota’s Juneteenth Events, both organizing and participating in the Juneteenth Event held in Rubonia, FL, taking first prize for her poetry at the Manatee County Slam Poetry Contest in 2005 (in the adult category), as well as speaking on several occasions at Manatee Community College (n/k/a State College of Florida), and so on.
She took her work to not just dealing with the youth in the community, particularly those with little to no adult supervision or family support and those considered to be “at-risk” to changing the position and working with their parents as well.
In 2012, she started her own cleaning business to provide an uplifting outlet for individuals that needed a second chance at rebuilding their lives with greater respect and income. She taught individuals how to revive their credit and later became a REALTOR® so that she could take them from renting to becoming homeowners. She also obtained her insurance license as a means to provide the full package that individuals need to develop a whole life plan with everything included.
Shavonda is a devoted minister as the Shepard for God Is Real Ministries in Palmetto, FL, her story is still being written and she is on another chapter that is yet to unfold. Helping to make communities a better place for individuals to live in, her mission is to instill the philosophy “without God there is nothing, with God you are and can accomplish anything”!

Welcome to “Healing From Within” and Sheryl Glick your host and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages to show us our challenges are not economic political or societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom and is so glad to have our regular listeners always with us to hear from amazing authors and changemakers, visionaries and leaders from around the world share their courageous and interesting stories discovering more about themselves and the human condition and am delighted to welcome Dr. Greg Hammer Author of Gain Without Pain The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals for we all know you can’t do your best unless you are at your best, and that is the goal for all of us.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware I am a Reiki Master Teacher energy practitioner/medium as well as a long-time Hospice volunteer who has spent the last 25 years searching for a clearer truth of our human and spiritual connections or “the duality of life” to help find ways to enhance all areas of our emotional, physical and spiritual life to improve health, find happiness and positivity, no matter what challenges we face. It becomes clear and easier to cope with any situation when we truly know that life is unlimited in opportunities for continuous soul expansion and our thoughts and actions generate much of what we experience. So in that sense we must learn to pay attention to what we think and do and improve many circumstances both personally and collectively.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within,” Dr. Greg Hammer a pediatrics intensive care physician, anesthesiologist and professor at Stanford University Medical Center, will share his search for truth and the mysteries and realities of life healing and love. He will also discuss utilizing a non-duality and mindfulness based approach including the “Gain Method” he has devised to improve health and well-being. Dr. Hammer discusses ways to look at these challenging times rejuvenate and restore health as we try to help ourselves and others.
When Dr. Hammer is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that might have signaled to him or others the life path and interests he might pursue as an adult he responds that nothing remarkable comes to mind about his childhood but at seventeen he began to question life and wanted to know the truth of “Who are we? ““Why do we have a physical life?” and “What are we supposed to do during our lifetime?” Already a born healer he wished to give as much to the world and help people and so he became a doctor helping others to develop a respect for and love of life and our uniqueness as spiritual beings having a physical life.
Dr. Greg Hammer wrote this book to explore what deeper thoughts and realizations readers of “Gain Without Pain” could become aware of which could lead them beyond suffering loss and illness. This book is filled with fascinating interviews with leading experts on relevant topics such as sleep, forgiveness, and nutrition. The elements of the book are artfully woven together by our physician guide, Dr. Greg Hammer. Dr. Hammer provides insights into how to transform personal and professional challenges into strength and wisdom. This helpful toolbox will provide important practical steps for any health care professional to find a more healthful way to live and work.
This book also and importantly presents a transformative path to happiness, resilience, and thriving that takes as little as three minutes a day, which is especially necessary for people in the health field to maintain their own well-being, health and happiness while dealing with serious illness and families in distress. There is nothing revolutionary in this book. Most of you already know the facts that follow. But there is a chasm between knowing and doing. It’s not your fault. To implement all of the mainstream medical advice about stress reduction, sleep, exercise, and diet is daunting. It appears to be far too time-consuming for an overloaded doctor, nurse, or any other busy health care professional.
Greg Hammer is a doctor, father, professor, and entrepreneur and people reading this book, like Dr. Hammer, are likely bright, well-educated, and well-trained medical professionals. Yet in spite of the plethora of expertise and experience, most health care professionals have not bridged the gap between science and practice. Most doctors have not translated their understanding of the mind and body into a peaceful, present mind, and a vibrant, healthy body. Burnout is on the rise, and that is a problem we cannot afford to ignore. This book can be your solution. It is an antidote to burnout. It took Dr. Hammer many years to distill the essence of the process that he is going to share with you. It is a rapid and easy path towards happiness, including a transformative three-minute daily practice.
In talking about Covid-19, an unexpected and tragic worldwide plague affecting the health economic well-being and creating an inability to do what humans must do for their emotional well-being be close to one another and socialize, disturbed because of social distancing and lockdowns imposed by governments, stresses/demands causing burnout in healthcare professionals has increased tenfold. Adding to these specific timely challenges Dr. Hammer points out another aspect of pain for many people and says in a conversation, “ I think that most of us feel inadequate in some ways much of the time. We try to make ourselves whole by reaching for relationships, substances, objects. This never brings more than very temporary relief. So, we strive for more—hence a cycle of needing and acquiring that never fulfills us. Much of this feeling of inadequacy probably stems from our early childhood experiences. This is not to lay blame on our parents—they had their own sense of longing and inadequacy, largely from their parenting. The cycle goes on and on. But we can stop the cycle. The greatest barrier to happiness is failure to believe that we deserve happiness. We do deserve happiness—it is our true divine soul nature and birthright. Sadly, this has been veiled by experience. The good news is that we can unveil our true nature and be happier if we turn our attention—and our intention—to doing so.“
Sheryl says the key to resolving much doubt and distress is simply to” know” we were born with everything within our soul memory and guidance system that we need to complete our soul mission in this time and place and by simply remembering that truth, we can stop thinking about what we don’t have, and focus on what we do have to accomplish our soul mission which need not be monumental but could be as simple as learning the GAIN method of reflection for finding peace and well being. We must realize our wondrous potential to create with our thoughts the best for ourselves and others while conquering the fears and limitations of the outside world. By simply changing our mindset and actions we create a path to well-being, peace, harmony, and happiness. Everything is indeed a state of mind and a good attitude is greater than any painful or challenging circumstance that presents itself.
Happiness has taken a plunge during this time of tremendous worldwide change. Happiness was recorded at 69% before Covid, and 49% after Covid. Perhaps it’s because in this fast moving technological society we have lost sight of our inner intuitive guidance or soul awareness and our ability to conquer even a horrendous disease like Covid. We are often not aware of our inner wisdom. All that we ever want is within each of us. There is nothing, “no thing” for which to search. All we need to do is sink into the awareness with which we are all born. Becoming more aware is a process. In fact, life is a process—there is no destination. Let’s take it one step at a time. Baby steps can transform your life when repeated as a daily practice. Sometimes we can take the slow and steady way to reach a new understanding of the world, and other times it feels like we’re on a bullet train. I have had both experiences.
Sheryl says it is quite possible that this deadly plague happened because we had moved too far away from our spiritual source and needed to slow down and return to simple values once again having more meaningful interactions with people, not just computers, cell phones and technological games.
Dr. Hammer tells us that his son Max helped him find the truth. As a boy, Max was full of personality, full of life. He was joyful and present. But as he grew up, he became increasingly troubled and distracted. He would ruminate over his past and resist its realities. He was fearful and anxious about what the future might bring. He was no longer fully present. How did he go from being a happy child, living in each present moment, to being a self-conscious, anxious adolescent and young adult? Was social media to blame? My divorce? Hormones? Other factors?
Dr. Hammer writes “Max moved from Palo Alto, California, to Portland, Oregon, in his mid-20s. California was full of unwanted memories. Portland held the promise of a brighter future. Unfortunately, it did not pan out that way for Max. He continued to be unsettled, living life on the edge, reckless. He was descending into a dark place. Concerned, I visited him. I convinced him to fly down to Stanford to allow me to assist him in getting help. Then he stopped answering my calls and texts. Days passed. I was home on a Monday morning, catching up on some work when the phone rang. It was the hospital operator calling to tell me that the Stanford police wanted to talk to me. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. I let in two campus police officers. They asked me, “Are you the father of Max Hammer?” “Yes, I am.” They came in and introduced themselves, and we sat down at the dining table. One of them said to me, “I am very sorry to tell you that he passed away yesterday.” Silence. Those words made no sense. Yet they did. After they left, I sat in my chair for what seemed to be a long time before calling his mother. No answer. I left a message asking her to call me. I sat there for an hour, numb, the only one in the family to know of this terrible new reality. Max was dead. I would never welcome him back home, never attend his wedding, never laugh with him again. A myriad of hopes and dreams for the future came crashing down like a house of cards. My son had died. Grief overcame me. Later, it became clear that he died of sleeplessness. His obsession with the past and the future was unbearable. He simply could not sleep.”
We must understand how emotional exhaustion is tied to burnout and a tendency to self-defeating emotional stresses. Dr. Hammer writes, “Medical professionals are in a unique position to help others, and most of us relish this opportunity. Nevertheless, more than half of the physicians in the United States are experiencing professional burnout. It may well be that other health care professionals are experiencing the same crisis. The costs of burnout are staggering. Clinicians who feel burned out make more medical errors. They often reduce their work hours, resulting in reduced access to medical care for patients. Physicians with burnout are more likely to change jobs—this disrupts the continuity of care. Replacing physicians is very expensive for institutions, costing up to $1,000,000 per physician at Stanford. Physicians experiencing burnout are more likely to leave medicine altogether. Turnover is disruptive not only to patients but also to staff, and the loss of respected doctors may diminish the prestige of institutions.”
Physicians at the “front line” are the most afflicted, e.g., internal medicine, family practice, emergency medicine, but most specialties across the board show similar trends. Sadly, rates of physician suicide are rising among physicians who are experiencing burnout. Burnout among doctors, attorneys and law enforcement remains higher than in other professions. As physicians, we are in a category all by ourselves, with nearly half of us suffering from varying degrees of work-related stress. Doctors absolutely must become more resilient. Burnout is stealing our minds, bodies, relationships, and threatens to take our very lives. This book describes the antidote to burnout. It provides a simple path to personal resilience that can be implemented by anyone, anywhere, in just a few minutes a day. Increased resilience could save your practice, your patients, your marriage—or even your life. In our rapidly changing world, personal resilience is not a “nice to have,” but an essential skill.
Sheryl says in her new book A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening as well as taking responsibility for our own well being and state of happiness vs. suffering she has found resilience to be indispensable to a well balanced lifestyle.
Sheryl wrote, “Therefore, it seems in one way or another, we are being given messages to elevate our hearts. As we tap into our intuition supported by meditation practices, we can strengthen personal resolve or resilience. Resilience is a great force, in my estimation, for spiritual growth. Recently Sheryl found an article in Time Magazine, the June 1, 2015 edition, in the section “Frontier of Medicine” and read “Bounce Back,” written by Dr. Dennis Charney Dean, Icahn School of Medicine, who wrote, “For resilience there’s not one prescription that works. Find what works for you.” As a psychiatrist, Dr. Charney knows there are many benefits to moving beyond your comfort zone for the development of resilience, which he says is a set of necessary skills. Compelling new research about resilience also is now focusing on “the state of mindfulness” that we are hearing so much about, as today’s culture is consumed with seeking a greater awareness of Self, energy, and a means to improve health and longevity. Mindfulness can be considered to be a state of conditioning or training in order to stay focused in the moment on the activity or event being engaged in rather than allowing the mind to wander and think about other distracting influences.”
Besides encouraging resilience and a happier state of mind for their physicians, it is also important for facilities or the institution (or department, division, etc.) to bear responsibility for creating a culture of wellness and for increasing the efficiency of physicians’ practices. It must develop and continue to invest in programs serving to improve the health and welfare of the doctors who support them. Examples include providing classes in mindfulness and physical fitness, doctors’ lounges where food and coffee may be served and where collegiality may be fostered, and physician retreats that include family members. The “mother ship” is also responsible for finding ways to improve the efficiency of practice, including providing ample IT training and support for EMR systems, sufficient access to computers and printers, and the right number of clinic rooms and personnel. It is demoralizing for physicians to be forced to interrupt their contact with a patient to race around the clinic, retrieving a printed treatment plan for the patient simply because there are no printers in the treatment rooms. Some solutions are apparent and straightforward. Failing to take remedial action sends a strong negative message to doctors. While the institution or department must provide resources that define a culture of wellness and the infrastructure to maximize practice efficiency, we are responsible for the third component of wellness: our own resilience.
Some concrete solutions to mitigate anxiety are one of the most important elements in correcting many of the problems our physicians deal with. The first course of events involves a clear view of who we are and what we are happy and grateful for. This is the first solution to mitigating any unhappiness or anxiety.
Dr. Hammer wrote, “I knew from my meditation practice that happiness was found only in the present. But I was unable to be present. I was unable to be happy. I was not myself. I am a doer, a pragmatist, a nurturer — a healer of the sickest of the sick children and their families. But I became a somber, directionless sufferer stuck in the past and worried about the future. How could I become myself again? How could I become present? I intended to get back to my true nature. I had an epiphany. I began to consider myself fortunate to have had 29 years with my beautiful boy, with this engaged, powerful, stubborn, big-footprint guy. Never a dull moment! I felt so much love for my son. My heart warmed with gratitude. I felt grateful for the wonderful daughter who was very much still full of life and personality, so brilliant, hilarious, and loving. Thankful for my health and prosperity, for the opportunity to work at a place as wonderful as Packard Children’s Hospital. Grateful for my family and so many wonderful colleagues and friends. Instead of trying to push my feelings aside, I began to sit with the pain. It started to become clear to me that to suffer less, I needed to let go of any resistance to the painful reality in which I was mired. I realized that suffering is pain multiplied by resistance, and that was another epiphany.”
“I continued to sit with the pain. Not only the pain of losing my son, but the pain and suffering of generations of enslaved brothers and sisters, of the ravaging of the earth’s ecology, of the families separated at our southern border. Pain and suffering are as much a part of life as joy and happiness.
It became clear that in order to be present and happy, I needed to accept the pain—that acceptance meant letting go of the resistance that amplifies suffering. Acceptance meant to let the pain come closer, to embrace it, to let it in. To befriend reality requires acceptance. We can use the power of our intention to face our pain and even to embrace it. We can rewire our brains to be more present and, therefore, happier. Intention matters. I understood with crystal clarity that the world is neither good nor bad—it simply IS exactly as it IS. I did not create it, nor did I cause the pain in the world, and I could not cure it. I saw that I needed to let go of any judgments of the world and its inhabitants. Nonjudgment was key.
Max led me to the truth. The house of happiness rests firmly on four pillars, four choices, four mindsets. I saw the simplicity of Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment—GAIN. It was a natural acronym. Only four letters.
“GAIN” refers to Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, Non Judgment. What a concept—What a concept—GAIN Without Pain.
Dr. Hammer began incorporating these four pillars of gratitude, acceptance, intention and non judgment into his life. As a result, he built a solid foundation of well-being. He began teaching GAIN as a 3-minute meditation to his trainees, and they were astonished by the rapid results. Everyone serious about improving their life can get up 3 minutes earlier, sit comfortably, and do a 3-minute GAIN meditation before heading off to work.
A Mindfulness practice mitigates anxiety. A Mindfulness practice finds ways to understand happiness and Dr. Hammer writes, “What is happiness? Although every person on the planet wants happiness, its definition is elusive. Happiness has been described as “the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being.” Peace, contentment, joy, wellbeing—these are often used as synonyms of happiness. It may have a variety of definitions, but we know it when we see (or feel) it. A growing body of research tells us that happiness improves physical health, including our cardiovascular and immune systems. This is a bidirectional process—fitness, in all of its manifestations, makes us happier; and happiness makes us more able to achieve and maintain functional fitness.
Two types of happiness may be described: well-being that arises from a sense of devotion or service to others (eudaimonic happiness); this is associated with long-lasting well-being and other benefits, including better immune health. The other version is hedonic happiness, which comes from making love, having a great meal, receiving a salary bonus, or acquisition of material goods. Hedonic happiness is not enduring.
Happiness leads to living a longer, healthier life. It is associated with longer telomeres, the tiny caps. By connecting with other people, by devoting ourselves to serving others, by meditating, by being present, we can “grow” our telomeres and longevity. Functional imaging of the brain when people focus on happy thoughts or meditation shows activation of neurons in the prefrontal cortex, where happiness “lives.” By learning to be more optimistic, we can lower the likelihood that we will develop cardiovascular disease and stroke. We can reap these benefits just by smiling and pretending to be happy! In other words, we can change the way we think, rewire our own brains, and become healthier and happier.
Since happiness is what we seek and we know it will make us better, what are the essential underpinnings of happiness? “The discovery that peace, happiness, and love are ever present within our own Being, and completely available at every moment of experience, under all conditions, is the most important discovery that anyone can make,” wrote Rupert Spira, a teacher of nonduality (Advaita). He teaches that being present means being happy. So, how can we learn to be more present? Human beings have been wired to think incessantly about the past and future, so being more present will require a substantial amount of unlearning or rewiring of the brain.
Sheryl often says to her students that there is no past present future. Life is happening in a continuous flow of experience and our energy can be in perhaps the past and well as the future and even a part of our spirit can be looking down and learning from this present moment. Learning that nothing is “good or bad” is just experience for the soul which is necessary to raise the soul vibration to generate greater love and compassion into the world in the present moment, and even beyond this life or in eternal life is essential for personal growth and happiness. As a medium, Sheryl is able to retrieve information from many stages of a person’s life and perhaps even while our soul experiences this physical life, a part of our soul energy resides in the afterlife and watches our progress achieved from our physical past, present, and future life experiences. As a medium Sheryl knows that “Consciousness’ survives physical death and we are very much more than our physical being.
Dr. Hammer wrote, “Mindfulness training is a well-established and straightforward way to increase our ability to be present. When you notice that you are becoming distracted, that your mind is time-traveling in an unproductive manner, bring your attention back to right here, right now. Easy-to-learn techniques include focusing on the breath, slowing it down, fully experiencing the passage of air as you inhale and exhale. When you walk, pay attention to the feeling as your feet connect with the ground. When you eat, savor your food as a sensuous pleasure. Close your eyes and appreciate the flavors, textures, warmth, sweetness, or saltiness. Understand the miracle of food being grown, nurtured, harvested, transported, prepared, and delivered to your table. When you shower, close your eyes, and delight in the sensation of the warm water cascading down your skin, the miracle of indoor plumbing. Life is pretty amazing when we slow down, become present, and fully sense these wonders.”
Older individuals seem to chuckle so much because perhaps life experience has helped them appreciate the present, not worry so much about the past and know the future will be okay. Maybe they have a sense of metaphysical values and don’t fear dying. Or perhaps they have conditioned themselves to be happy conquering the negativity quotient we all have within us.
Dr. Hammer writes, “The good news is that we can rewire our brains and teach ourselves to think more rationally—and more positively. More than 40 years ago, a study was conducted in a group of junior college students enrolled in a psychology class to determine whether personal happiness could be increased if the participants modified their behaviors and attitudes to approximate more closely the characteristics of happier people. The students that completed a self-study program, designed to increase personal happiness and life satisfaction, increased their happiness to levels significantly higher than those in the control group, in which students performed incremental regular class assignments. What was it about the program that helped the students become happier? The students developed sensitivity to their own happiness—this increased awareness was beneficial in and of itself. The participants came to value happiness more and realize its importance in their lives.”
As a pediatric intensive care physician Dr. Hammer might think one of the biggest issues parents in the U S are experiencing now could be social media, political inferences to racism, mainstream media being aggressive with opinions and cancelling culture being judgmental, being cruel to many types of people as well as bullying. Parents should want to set an example to their children in how to be kind, nonjudgmental, accepting, and to serve their families and society in more loving ways, Hatred has become an emotion and force destroying the health, happiness, and resilience of many of our young people.
Sheryl says she feels bullying has been a serious problem always, but in these times we are dealing with radical political indoctrination in our schools and social media systems Cancel Culture or the destruction of our history and civilized way of life now beset by violence, anger and induced racism by political factions trying to destroy constitutional freedoms and these problems should be the concern of every parent. We cannot improve anything through anger, negativity and pure hatred for that as we should know leads to dysfunction, disease and lower levels of well-being. History cannot be destroyed. We cannot wipe away what has happened. We can only be in the present as this show has shown, and that is what we wish to teach children.
Dr. Hammer might like readers to take away with them after reading Gain Without Pain, that remembering self-compassion is an essential ingredient to happiness, in all aspects of our lives. We have more than ample opportunity to beat ourselves up, to wallow in our failures. But the bottom line is listed here:
- Notice what you are feeling and thinking, i.e. become more self-aware.
- Rewire your brain to be more present, i.e., mindful Happiness
- Reconnect your brain to dwell on happier thoughts (try Three Good Things at bedtime!).
- Focus on gaining time more than money.
- Buy experiences more than “things.”
- Spend time with friends and family
We thank Dr. Greg Hammer, author of Gain Without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for HealthCare Professionals, for sharing a wonderful look at his GAIN Method for a way to reconnect to the real values of our lives, moving past any assumed pain or failures to allow, accept and surrender to challenges so we may move in the present moment to create new perceptions and hopes improving life professionally and collectively.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Dr. Greg Hammer has provided many ways to incorporate a spiritual methodology to everyday life in order to help not only healthcare professionals but all people to understand that life with it’s many challenges must still be appreciated for the gift that it is and beyond suffering and loss, acceptance and finding grace and gratitude soothe the heart, mind and soul.
Greg when asked what made him happy today after expressing that his relationship with his father made him a people pleaser and always feeling a little inadequate as he could never really be perfect, shares what makes him feel happy today and wrote, “I gradually realized that the key to success in my personal and professional life was to be present. I was always searching for something—for the “truth.” I began to be aware that there is literally nothing for which to search. It is right here, right now. This was an epiphany. We do not have to please anyone or find anything. Peace and happiness are already “built-in.” Living with this awareness has made me a much more calm, genuine, loving person. That seems to please others, though this is no longer a goal.”
Greg and Sheryl would have you remember that each life has the right experiences needed to empower that soul to rise above their present vibration to vibrate at levels of greater love and compassion. Knowing that nothing is either good or bad but necessary experience brings about positive change and action. We cannot control what happens to us but we can control our reactions and always try to find reasons to return us to our natural state of being, which is our birthright, “To Be Happy.”

Today’s Guest
https://greghammermd.com/about/
This week in the Art of Creating Beauty: Nature vs. Nurture, Gina shares an intimate struggle she lived repetitively over the course of her life and bravely survived to share.
One that had her intuitively asking what is this ALL about? One that she never felt she had control over. One that left her and her business in a standstill.
And if you know anything about Gina… she’s a feisty one. She doesn’t like to be tied down in any way shape or form.
This is when her spirited and inquisitive journey began. A journey of self-discovery. Where she set out to break the chains and free herself to live the life, she knew she desired and deserved.
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself nodding “yes” and laughing as she talks about a few of her journeys through hell from romance and to health. And family drama including dementia, paranoia, and an inheritance. I’m guessing you’ll relate to a least a portion of her crazy and imperfect story.
Wait ‘til you hear what she learned, how she met it head on, and what she chose to do with it. Her relentless positivity is always inspiring.
Listen in and hear all the things that would make for a great read; from injustice, misuse of power, giving up parts of herself, not being seen or recognized, illness, death, and being left alone. You cannot make this stuff up.
And as only Gina can do… she took her most hellish moments and recognized the lessons she’s learned.
Her intention is to inspire you to find your inner inspiration to show up and SHINE brilliantly (even) with the imperfections that are going on around you.
This one is a MUST!
Check out her video about it here!

Winter Solstice, aka Yule, is on December 21st this year, the first official day of Winter. It is the day of deepest Dark where we have the least amount of daylight available and the most night. While the Dark energy is at its peak, after today the Light energy will begin to strengthen imperceptibly at first. Whatever you celebrate, we wish you the joy of the season!
Revolver News put together quite a newstory that ties individuals, crytocurrencies, and a country together like Doc Holliday has never seen before. One of the individuals is a person known to the blockchain community and has done an exclusive interview right here on Rock Splitting Politics. Anyone who has been watching the news knows that the cryptocurrency central exchange called FTX has filed for bankruptcy after spending 40 million dollars to influence the midterm elections for the Democractic Party—-and Elon Musk has suggested over the course of the last four years more than a billion dollars may have flowed to the Democratic Party from the former head of FTX. So how do these stories connect? Listen to this week’s show, right now!
Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Steve Pavlina
“Recover from negativity, become conscious, live responsibly spiritually, and be present in your personal development.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/a3IyxWrGVQYCheck Out These Highlights:
I started my business when I was 39 years old and had two babies at home and felt like most of the time I was holding on by a thread of mom and business owner. I’ve heard people speak about professional and personal lives as separate entities and I have found that truly we are one beautiful, and flawed person who needs to navigate and shift from one perspective to another easily.
Around my 40th birthday, one year into my business, I started to receive emails about the law of attraction and other spiritually driven topics. I had no idea about these concepts of manifestation and our thoughts becoming reality. Wow, what an eye-opener.
For the past 20 years, my spiritual and personal growth has helped me manifest a successful business. Was it an accident? I don’t think so and neither does my guest!

This episode is based on the book, Little Women Invest which is in turn based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott. It is a guide for young women to approach the world of investments. The themes of financial education are intertwined with those of women’s emancipation.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram
If you’ve read Little Women from Louisa May Alcott then you know the basic premise here. The four March sisters grow up, find love and find their place in the world. They are all different and interesting in their own way. The story has been retold over the years with a different realized vision each time. Today we’ve going to take a look at a fresh new perspective weaving in a world that is foreign to many fans of the characters — and it’s the one I can relate to most. The world of finance — since I know about as little as the characters in Laura Tardino’s new book Little Women Invest.
Laura Tardino – A financial guide to help women to get more use in you know financial subjects. Of course it was quite easy in the sense that of course when you work twenty-four years in the sector then you can manage very easily and you know what to explain and what are the main issues when you invent money and that was the way it took me to write this book.
Yes, twenty-four years in the financial industry will definitely give you a leg up on the subject matter.
Laura Tardino – In Italy, you know I’m Italian so you may probably understand from my not so good English yea? So, forgive me for that.
Laura says In Italy there is a huge need for financial education among women. It’s why her book is available in both English and Italian but the need is not restricted to Italy and Europe. There are plenty of American women who could use her experience as well….for example learning about money and getting started investing when you are young is a great idea no matter where you live. It just gives you more time. She also goes over the basics of the various investment products to begin building a portfolio.
Laura Tardino – Let me say what are inequities, what is a bond, what kind of bond you can buy which are the main characteristics of these instruments because they are not exactly the same and they are not thought to give you the yield, the return in the same space of time.
Since each product is different there is of course a different approach to investing in each of them as well.Which is why she chose to focus on the March Sisters.
Laura Tardino – Yes exactly, I thought that if I used a book that is a famous romance with famous characters like the four March sisters. Using very simple characters because the life of these women is a very simple life even if very modern for the times probably it would be easier to get the modern women to finance. In the book I tried to use the characters of Little Women just to explain the finance. You have a job so you work and you have money and then invest your money you have more of a chance to become more independent and empowered. It’s very important for women because nowadays it’s really very important for women to be independent, to be empowered ok? And this romance, Little Women was indeed, probably one of the first positive I would say manifesto of women empowerment so that’s the reason I used this romance, using the characters to explain finance just to get women closer to finance etcetera. just to get women closer to finance. If you don’t know anything you are skeptical and will not be an investor. So it’s important to have basic knowledge of finance.
She says many women have a hard time balancing their home and work life and it can be hard to balance investing with the demands of the workforce and raising a family but the key is to have a basic knowledge of finance and just start small. It adds up faster than you might expect. And..give yourself plenty of time. the more time you have the richer you will eventually become.
Work – earn – save. When it comes time to invest this is a great resource to learn about the different products and the various risks involved with investing and when you’re done reading this book…
Laura Tardino – Use a financial Consultant. This is really very important.
Little Women Invest by Laura Tardino, a guide for women who have not studied and probably don’t plan on studying economics.
Laura Tardino – So they will be ready to have a good conversation with this financial consultant about good investments and bad investments.
look for it at your favorite online bookstore — Barnes and Noble, Target, Amazon and many others. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com
Be sure and check out the interview with Laura Tardino on the Books on Air podcast with Sloan Fremont.

Over two millennia ago, in troubled times not unlike our own, a mysterious figure, distinguished by a pheasant feather in his cap, emerged with poetic visions of a future world of peace and justice. Like Laozi, Pheasant Cap (Héguanzî) understood the underlying unity in things and the power of Dao to make things happen.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
If you’ve ever been curious about ancient China and its cultural history then this is your show. Here for the first time, we are going to get an insider’s view of early Daoism as it influenced philosophy.
Let’s start with a simple question, “How did a young boy named Chin (Qin) growing up in exile become China’s First Augustan Emperor (Qin Shihuangdi)?
Marnix Wells – Well this is all the best of a mystery because most of the records were destroyed after the fall of Qin which ended in a bit of a holocaust or an inferno when the future Han dynasty took over. This is now being remedied somewhat by the discovery of tombs with silk manuscripts miraculously preserved from that period and they show a lot of connections with the Héguanzî and his writings which I estimate in the period from about 250BC to 221BC which was the date in which Qin conquered the last of the six kingdoms and started the unified Chinese Empire and they still see this as the foundation of the unified China.
So not as simple a question as I thought but the discovery of new material is painting a clearer picture of the past. It’s all available now in Dr. Marnix Wells’ book Héguanzî, the Dao of Unity, Linking Politics, Philosophy and Religion in Ancient China.
Marnix Wells – This boy who actually grew up, was born in the state of Chow which is where this book is centered. Later he managed to get back to Qin and claim the crown and from there he became the emperor and the conqueror of the whole Chinese world and founded the Empire.
Dr. Wells knows a great deal about Chinese history. He has a first degree in Chinese from Oxford and a PhD from London School of Oriental and African Studies. He also spends time working as a shipping manager in the Far East where he acquired first-hand knowledge of the people and their heritage. As you know — one way to better understand a country is not only to visit there but to have a look at its history and Chinese History paints a unique picture of Unity.
Marnix Wells – The Qin that founded the Chinese empire was basically in some sense tapping into Héguanzî, because he has this vision of old nations and racism coming together and while it wasn’t done peacefully as sit turned out, none the less they did adopt this idea of sort of centralized unity which China has enjoyed for the last 2000 years so it’s a good lesson of the world at the same time it’s also something we need to be careful about because it’s also a potential threat for the rest of us unless we can somehow work things out.
Yes, we do have an issue with Unity in this country right now but I am optimistic that the tide is turning on all that. We have had our differences over the years and we usually find a way to unite.
So if you find Ancient Chinese culture fascinating or you just want to broaden your worldview. Maybe you’re curious about early dismissed writings, now vindicated by some new archaeological discoveries — then this is probably a great resource for you.
Marnix Wells – I’m attempting to kind of bridge the gap between academia and the man on the street. Of course this is very dangerous because on the one hand you get the reaction from many ordinary people saying that, oh well this is something outside their understating and on the other hand you get the academics saying we haven’t peer reviewed it and so forth I would welcome any academic challenge because I’ve put in a lot of footnotes to back up what i say so if someone has a different interpretation that would be great.
We live in a global world. We do a great bit of business with China. We hear something about China in the news almost everyday but I wonder how much we really know about the country, its people and its origins.
Marnix Wells – Indeed, we need to learn more about the rest of the world. We need to know more about China and its culture. not from the propaganda so much as from the actual history and also into Asia, Africa, South America you know we mustn’t shut ourselves away in our Western paradise, or not so paradise. We must engage with the world.
So jump into your time machine and head back to the China of warring kingdoms in 250 B.C. on the eve of imperial conquest. The key to your travels is the internet where you’ll find a book about how the Chinese empire and Chinese mindset was formed. It’s called (Heguansa) Héguanzî, the Dao of Unity, Linking Politics, Philosophy and Religion in Ancient China by Dr. Marnix Wells available at Barnes and Noble or Amazon and we’ve put links in the show notes for you. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Quirky Story
I’m perhaps the world’s most unlikely nerd. I ride horses, raise cattle, drive a 4×4 and I’m a pen & paper RPG devotee. My gaming group plays Role master (if you don’t know it, think D&D) every weekend.
Many of the uninitiated find our conversations confusing because, when speaking of our characters, we tend to switch back and forth from 3rd person to 1st person. “So, then Roland hauls up his sword and I (I was playing the character Roland) cut the paladin’s leg off!”
Some of the best stories we tell are of events during gaming that, “really happened.”
I remember one time when a new player was starting, and the group was figuring out what equipment they wanted to buy before an adventure. Another player buys a horse, and the new girl looks at him like he’s the dumbest person she’s ever seen. “That’s crazy! How are you gonna carry a horse?”
Another time the group was approaching an island when the thunder clouds suddenly gathered around the single mountain top on the island:
Player 1: “It’s an omen.”
Player2: (not noticing the thunder clouds): “What’s an omen?”
Players 1,3 and 4 (in spontaneous unison): “It’s a sign of things to come.”
My Kids (now 28 and 26) started gaming with us around the ages of 7 and 5 respectively. One of their favourite stories is of a time when they were attacked by orcs. My daughter tripped one of the orcs and he fell into the campfire, setting his right arm ablaze. The orc made an intellect roll and fumbled it. Thus, his reaction to being set afire was to run up and down the bank of a nearby river screaming that he was on fire, never thinking to just put his hand in the water.

Heirs of Vanity Trilogy.
This is the compendium of the first three books in The Heirs of Vanity Series. This series is in the realms of Epic Fantasy.
The first book in the series is Roland’s Path. (Part 1)
A creative tale about two servants of evil escaping during young Roland’s watch, Roland driven by humiliation and self-conceit takes it upon himself to track down these escapees. The escapees are a wizard of undetermined powers of sorcery and a woman of exceptional beauty with dark unimagined adeptness. The path Roland and his friend Eldryn must travel in order to track down an untested wizard and a woman of beauty and intrigue is fraught with imperilment and convolutedness. But this herculean journey must be undertaken, for in Roland’s world of Stratvs, vanity, narcissism comes at a high price, a price paid in blood both innocent as well as the guilty. Too many pietistic altars are strewn with rusting armoury.
The second book of the series is Roland’s Vows. (Part 2)
A noted warlock (sorcerer) of the Marshes bears a curse from the past for detestable exploits. Will Roland hear the wizard’s calls. Will trust or desire of the enchanter’s daughter prevail in Roland’s mind and conscience. An exotic city in a distant land is Roland and Eldryn’s next destination. Once again, the journey is steeped in peril as the lands, they travel through are ravaged with feuding armies and people deprived of hope. In the land of Lawrec will Roland’s physical and mental abilities be taken to the very edge of their sustainability. Evil worlds gloom everywhere can Roland survive fallen champions and pirates to maintain his father’s approval.
The Third book of the series is Roland’s Triumph. (Part 3)
An unrevealed badness glooms on the horizon, Daeriv’s forces have retreated but their presence still lingers in the air. Roland’s choices in how next to proceed are complex, whose advice will he heed, his fathers. What cost would he face if he disregarded his father’s wise counsel. Will the love of a good woman be enough to see him through this anxious and challenging time or will he fall at the evil hand of his adversaries. His inner nemesis is tested, but will he triumph. Or is it a case he must triumph not matter the cost to himself.
In the compendium the books are identified as parts 1-3 with their appropriate titles heading that section.

The book, A Dandelion was inspired by Andrew Everstine’s daughter Ashli, who was three years-old at the time.
She said, “Tell me a story, Daddy.”
“Okay…but you have to give me the title.”
“A Dandelion,” she replied and a new creative universe commenced.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Here we go again! If you’ve been listening lately you might be noticing a theme. We’re trying to make the world a better place to live and we’re doing it one book at a time. Today we’re going to use the power of the Dandelion.
Is it a weed or a flower? It has a beautiful yellow color and to be honest aren’t weeds just rapidly spreading plants that choose to take root in places where they’re not wanted? So couldn’t they be called wildflowers? According to GardenBetty.comit’s an herb with holistic medicinal value. And…yes, you can eat it or maybe sip it at tea time.
Why all this talk of Dandelions? Because according to Andrew Everstine it’s also a great tool for teaching kids about racism – or should I say Flowerism?
Andrew Everstine – Kindness, bravery and inclusion through flowers. Flowerism is a made up term. It’s a nicer term than racism and I figured if Dr. Seuss can make up a word than so can I for the common good.
Of course you can. Andrew wrote a children’s book for his daughter Ashley called A Dandelion — the subtitle is A Dandelion touches on the sensitive issue of Flowerism.
Andrew Everstine – The main character is Sallie Budfield. She’s a dandelion full of hope and determination and there’s a party that’s going to take place and there’s a list that’s going to be posted in town hall within a couple of weeks. All the flowers are excited that hopefully their name is on the list so there’s a crowd outside town hall waiting to see the list and the doors open and everyone rushes down the hall and into the courtyard because they know exactly where the town lost is posted and some of them are so excited that their name is on the list that they nearly lose a bud or two jumping up and down but Sally bless her heart just gracefully walks in after everyone and she walks out to the list and scans the list twice but to her dismay the name Sallie Budfield is not on the list and then something catches her eye at the bottom and it says specifically “No Dandelions allowed” and she is just crushed.
Oh No! I know it’s just a story but that is gut wrenching. You can just see the flowers jumping up and down with excitement which builds anticipation for poor Sallie and makes it soooo much sadder that she can’t go. Especially when you see her face. The cover of the book features a big beautiful picture of Sallie all bright and sunny with big eyes and a wide smile. You just get the feeling that this is not someone who you want to exclude — this is someone you need at your party.
Andrew Everstine – Oh, just the way she looks. I wish I could paint a picture for you. It’s just so colorful and vibrant. I love it.
And the timing could not be more perfect for this kind of story. Kindness is powerful.
Andrew Everstine – I’m telling you it has a good message. We need more kindness in the world, more than ever.
You’ll love reading about the lengths that Sallie goes to try and be included without an invitation. Sneaking in by the catering truck. She even does her best to change her look, calling herself a Yankee Carnation instead of a Dandelion.
Andrew Everstine – There weren’t only dandelions that weren’t allowed but there are also some other flowers that we’re allowed too because the flowers you see on page ten, they’re sad because they’re not invited but then the dandelions as well you know it kind of gets both of them.
Yes, it’s a great lesson in kindness and inclusion and without giving too much away something happens inside the party – there’s an explosion and Sallie get’s to show her true nature being the hero that she is. It’s a great reminder to be careful because the person that you put down today could be the one that saves your life tomorrow.

This episode is based on the book, The Golden Book of Life & The Plasma Soul Codes, an extraordinary self-help bible overflowing with life-changing spiritual information, healing guidance, cosmic wisdom, and unconditional love specifically designed to empower you to live your best life.
Welcome to the this edition of Newsgram
Today we are going to continue our theme of honoring the endless spirit within us as we open up another chapter in healing. Let’s find the authentic, happy and limitless self within you! It’s already there. Everything you need is within you, we just need to tap into it.
If you heard the show about Healing with Dr. Emmett then you know how powerful love can be. Today we’re going to guide humankind home toward real love and to do that we need to start with you. Because after all you are love. You are also Plasma.
Simone Renee Quinton – Plasma is something that is everywhere. It’s more than 99.999% of the entire universe and science has proven now that as human beings we are made of this substance as stars and space. So, our soul is something that is so extraordinary and it’s the life force within us that has no beginning and no end and yet when we’re here in a human body and in life everything is quite challenging for us all to be in that space. Plasma is the communication of life; it’s all that is life around us. If you’re very spiritual you might liken it to the Holy Spirit energy or God or if you’re more science based you can just think about it as the space around us, the space within space, the air we breathe it in, we breathe it out so it’s a massive concept.
That is Simone Renee Quinton and she just wrote a book called The Golden Book of Life & The Plasma Soul Codes. A book she always knew she was going to write and it’s a very powerful tool. If you think back to grammar school science you were probably told that there were three types of matter, solids’ liquids and gas. Well there is a fourth and it’s the mysterious substance called plasma.
Now I promised that we were going to open a new chapter of healing and to do that we first need to get to know ourselves and that starts by realizing that you are not just plasma but that you have a unique set of codes that identifies you.
Simone Renee Quinton – The soul codes are your individual makeup. It’s like your little pod within you, your individual self. It’s like a pod of information within your soul that you can access anytime wherever you are to help you through your day. Because no one else has a day within the life of you, you are in your body. You know what’s going on, what you’re thinking, what you’re feeling so it’s your own little point of access and the soul codes are a reference to help people access that information that they need anytime any day within them.
We live in the computer age so the concept of a code that is unique to us, one that defines who we are, shouldn’t feel that crazy. And if you want to find your purpose or determine your destiny it helps to know more about who you are.
So when you’re feeling angry, let it go. Choose to be happy and you will find it. When you really want to hurt someone, don’t do it. Find love instead. It’s not always easy but it is possible and the time to make those positive changes is now because something inside you doesn’t want to feel this way any longer.
Simone Renee Quinton – We’re sick of dragging our feet and that becomes the catalyst to change. We know we don’t want to feel that way anymore. We don’t want to think that way anymore. That is the aha moment. We’ve all had that experience where we go yea! I’m gonna change. That usually lasts for a day or two and then we tend to peter off so we do need to be vigilant. When we’re having that aha moment, when we’re in that feeling of self motivation and self love and yes! I’m gonna do this. We need to sit with ourselves. We need to stop everything for however long. Maybe just ten minutes and you know yourself better than anyone else so that ’s the time when you can even grab the book and then write little notes around your house or on your mirror or just do something that you know is going to pick you up in three days’ time. Maybe on the steering wheel in your car that’s a really good reminder.
So find a way to communicate with yourself and take time to go outside. No matter what the weather is like.
Simone Renee Quinton – If you allow yourself to go outside everyday. if you make that a religion like when you have a shower or brush your teeth and eat food. Make that part of your everyday religion where you go outside and you just breathe by yourself. There is, because of the nature of our soul and the chemistry within us even on a physical level nature inspires us. It inspires us to get that information that we need so we can better our life. We do that regularly and we are really set.
So what we are talking about here, Going outside for fresh air, reminding yourself to find love, think positive thoughts, know that we are spiritual beings that are all connected and we have a direct influence on one another. You might be thinking — none of this seems all that complicated.
Simone Renee Quinton – That’s right and the whole concept of The Golden Book of Life & The Plasma Soul Codes, the concepts of who we are and all that happiness that we want in life is so simple. It’s so easy that our crazy human program mind overlooks it and tries to complicate it but it’s not. It’s those moments where we take a breath and look up at the sky or we look into our childs’ eye, just that moment they’re the moments that really matter and they tell us to create a better life for ourselves in every way shape or form but it always starts within us. And that’s what the book teaches. it helps to remind people that it’s all within you, everything you need. All these little tiny negative thoughts that go on in the mind or feelings, I tell people just look at them and grab them and say “Hey mate, it’s ok, I love you come here we’re gonna have a good day”. So you then are the parent. They’re like children and you need to win. You wouldn’t let your little child run across the road when there’s a big bus coming so you grab them and you don’t give them a choice
Are you ready to put some of this information to practical use? Buy a copy of her book and get ready for a magical ride of awakening. Turn to the back, look up a keyword and you’ll be directed to the best soul code to assist you — but you have to use it. Don’t just leave it sitting there on the coffee table.
Simone Renee Quinton – Although the front cover has a really cool picture on it that will look good on a coffee table, laughter….

This episode is based on the series Little Cherubs Short Stories. A series of books addressing different situations from a child’s perspective, like death, fostering, disability, animal care and comradery, family situations. A learning curve and “food for thought”.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram
Today we’re going to take a look at a series of children’s books that teaches children about a lot more than just colors, numbers and farm animals. These are socially conscious short stories that sprinkle together a bit of magic, some adventure and community involvement in a real world environment. Let me be more specific. Imagine teaching about things like blindness by taking a trip to ‘The Guide Dogs Association for the Blind’, What a great place to learn about guide dogs and blindness.
Kimberley Bachelot – Its really about teaching children to be kind, compassionate, to think of others and also to be conscious of their environment. I mean the modern day theme is the environment, climate change and endangered species so to raise them with that consciousness and teach them ordinary everyday lessons within the book as well. It touches upon issues like death, fostering friendships, teamwork, so it’s quite involved but it’s not boring and it’s not petty it’s short stories and their little things within the book.
No they’re definitely not boring and while some of those issues seem pretty heavy at first glance it’s amazing how simple it can be to teach about them if you just find the right way to do it.
Kimberley Bachelot – That’s why I say there’s three elements to it. It’s educational, inspirational and also entertaining.
Kimberly has found a terrific way to weave together these three elements.
Kimberley Bachelot – It’s not just a story to read and enjoy but it teaches you something about life and then maybe that will inspire you to delve more deeply into that area because children minds are like sponges and if you can exit that interest they might go on to look into it to do a project on it or maybe even later in life it might become a career for them, who knows.
The series is called “Little Cherub Short Stories” and they are all very different. Book 1: is about adopting a pet. It’s subtitled To be or not to be: Pet is the question.
Kimberley Bachelot – They learn about pets and that’s where Marylou comes up with the idea that she wants some cats and that’s how it all starts they go down to paws and tails and then later on discover that the cats are magical the kittens are magical and that’s where their adventures start.
Book two is where the kids visit the The Guide Dogs Association for the Blind’ but it’s also about a great deal more. In fact, she admits this one was a real challenge to write because it’s about fostering a child after an unfortunate accident.
Kimberley Bachelot – Laila lost her parents when she was four and so that was quite difficult to think about how a child would feel and how they would react and also death it can be a bit stigmatized. I can be a bit scary particularly to young children so I had to think all about that aspect and put it in a certain way but i hope I’ve shown that her feelings and the way she worked though it and the help she got eventually came across the Naylors who fostered her shows that out of real pain and hardship you can find solice and happiness again.
This one is about a lot more than death, fostering and adoption. There’s a bake sale, a set of magic pendants )A large diamond and tiger tooth) that have ancient powers — helping them on their mission to protect endangered species.
Kimberley Bachelot – I’m quite into environmental issues so endangered species and thinking about the planet those are the areas I like best. I also worked for a long time in the voluntary sector and so those areas where they go to the associate for the blind and learn about guide dogs and you know, they think about Bernardo’s that look after children they’re quite important aspects they’re my favorite bits because they do touch upon my former careers.
The third book in the Little Cherub Short Stories series is Meet Ambie and Joulsie. Book 3: Ambie and Joulsie’s East Easter Parade.
Kimberley Bachelot – Fundraising continues at the Easter Parade for the Donkey Sanctuary; Michael, Beth and Mary Lou find themselves transported to Peru, along with Glenie, Ambie and Joulsie. The Pendants, the Diamond and Tiger Tooth, help Alveros ‘appear’ and guide them to the ‘Temple of Inti’, the Inca Sun God, where the Neverending Treasures have been hidden during the 15th Century, for the protection of the Incas and environment. During a modern day excavation, the Naylors find the codeword and the Never Ending treasures appear. The magic continues.
So as you can see, very different stories addressing all kinds of issues in Educational and Motivational ways. They Encourage imagination, they are full of magic and adventure, love and endearment and they are anything but boring.

The book is a guide for young women who do not work in finance and who will increasingly approach the world of investments in the future. The idea comes from the film released at the beginning of 2020 and based on the novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, a manifesto of women’s emancipation. The title, not surprisingly, is Little Women Invest.
The themes of financial education are intertwined with those of women’s emancipation wisely described in the novel which, despite the years, remains highly topical. Inside, general notions to understand what and how you can invest your savings using simple language with a strong reference to one of the classics of literature. The book ends with the answers to some questions asked of well-known professionals in the sector, men and women, as evidence, on the one hand, of the possible differences in approach, on the other, as financial advice to four modern March sisters.

There are many aspects to Healing – Healing the Body, Healing the Mind and Spirit, along with Healing the World. In studying Healing, we see who we are and what we are doing here in this life. It is the combination of medicine, science and philosophy unravelling the old spiritual mysteries held in trust by religions through time.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
The title of this show is HEALING and I mean that in the broadest sense of the word. I want you to think about all the different possible ways of healing that exist. We’re going to be talking about Healing the Body, Healing the Mind, healing the Spirit — and Healing the World we live in.
Oh you think I’m crazy? Keep an open mind because you are going to hear some things today that are going to challenge your way of thinking. They will definitely cause you to pause and think. In short, with the help of Dr. Anthony J Emmett I am going to blow your mind.
Let’s start out with something you’ve most likely heard before. If you want to be happy and healthy you can be. You can be well and you can be happy. It’s not just a fact, it’s science.
Dr Anthony J Emmett – When you wish to be well you can be by the thoughts you hold in your mind.
Our mind is a very powerful tool. A lot more powerful than you might be aware of. We are healing all the time. Your body is full of cells which are alive and conscious, so your thoughts and desires do influence your health.
Dr Anthony J Emmett – Most people don’t realize that and that’s why I’ve written this book because I want people to know that they have within their own ability, they can transform themselves, they can be well and they can be happy. It’s all so simple really.
That’s Dr. Emmett, I mentioned him earlier and his book is called Healing A Philosophy for the 21st Century.
Dr Anthony J Emmett – You know, every cell in your body is multiplying. You replace your body every seven years and each of those cells has a way of knowing how you feel. If you are happy and well you will transmit that message to the cells of your body and they will be happy and well.
It really can be that simple. Imagine only watching comedies, and surrounding yourself with happy, agreeable people. No negativity at all. It’s going to lift your spirits and make you feel good. It’s one of the reasons I’m so turned off by politics and the news. You need to surround yourself with happiness so much that it permits your subconscious.
Dr Anthony J Emmett – The mind is like an iceberg. The 15% you use in your conscious mind is only part of it. The rest of it is in your subconscious, your deeper consciousness, the part you contact in sleep and we really are much stronger than we believe because a lot of it is kept in the unconscious part of your mind.
So the bottom line here is, what you carry in your mind, in your conscious and unconscious mind has much more power than you might believe. According to Dr. Emmettt you can create your own health and happiness by the thoughts that you carry and create.
There are different ways to bring out those healing thoughts. Art is one one way, meditation is another way. The key is to make sure you have that positivity in the bank — if you will.
Dr Anthony J Emmett – You know children learn love in the first two year of and they file that in their subconscious and it influences them everyday. And, it’s the same with movement. A baby is learning to move it’s learning time with its fingers and you know it files that movement in it subconscious. It’s the same with the tennis stroke, the golf stroke, or a gymnast doing back flips or a diver from a high platform doing two twists and then going into the water all of that has been learned and then filed into the subconscious and then you call on it and it comes through and it dilutes in a much faster way than your conscious mind could. Many people are aware of this and many are unaware of it but what you hold in your unconscious mind is the power of your life, it’s also the love, the beauty and the fascination.
That’s the power of love. Huey Lewis was smarter than you think. O.k. so I think we’ve made the point. Love and positivity have the ability to heal. There’s an element in this that we haven’t touched on yet and it’s the true key to everything. If you are as skeptical as I am you are probably wondering how it works. How does love heal? I’m going to tell you.
Healing is multidimensional. In the unconscious-mind we find our relationship to the Divine, the Power of the Universe, All That Is and it’s where we find God.
Dr Anthony J Emmett – We’re on this earth here for a relatively short time but that’s not the beginning of our life and its not the end of it because we’ve been here before and we will be again. You know there are other dimensions around us, like the frequency wavelengths on your radio. We exist in several dimensions. We are a multi dimensional creature and the other dimensions are invisible. We’re getting used to this civilization of invisible energies, what makes your mobile phone work, your cellphone, it’s the invisible energy. We; there are other invisible energies around you that have spirit guides. You may not know it. We all have them. Among my spirit guides are people I’ve had previous lives with and um, she is fascinating creatures and what they advise and sometimes it’s in sleep, sometimes if you let yourself daydream but you are always with others though you may not see them but don’t be afraid because it’s all good. Your friends are there to help you.
Yes, your spirit guides are there to help you. Can you see how it all fits tighter now, The mind, the body and the spirit. You are not alone. Everything is interconnected because we are multidimensional spirit beings. All we have to do it believe…
Dr Anthony J Emmett – Believe that you will heal the world as you heal yourself.
Believe in the power of love.
Dr Anthony J Emmett – Yes, Love is the most powerful medicine we have. We don’t understand it of course. It’s like consciousness, it’s like gravity, it’s one of the great forces in life. If you give yourself to it and happily embrace it it’s wonderful.
Love a powerful force with the ability to heal? Why not? There is more. You do need to stop putting bad things into your body. I’m saying that out loud so I’ll actually do it but a healthy diet can not be underestimated. It will help your immune system. Also try to eliminate stress whenever possible. Let go of anger, hatred and bitterness. These things are like poison to our subconsciousness — and just embrace love.
Start small. Smile more often, show yourself the love you deserve and watch how infectious it can be. Before you know it we will make this a better world to live in. Having a reminder of these things on your coffee table isn’t a bad idea either. Healing A Philosophy for the 21st Century by Dr Anthony J Emmett.

David Esling, the author, is well-known for his creative approaches to teaching and learning during his 37 years as a Primary school teacher. This book is a narrative outlining his creative and artistic approaches to teaching and learning in a socially disadvantaged primary school in Tasmania. The school is located within a suburb of Hobart.
The author shares inspirational stories about the children and their responses to his creative approaches to learning. The stories will captivate the hearts and minds of student teachers, teachers, teachers of teachers, and all those who love to work alongside children.
The book includes not only descriptions of the author’s creative ideas, but also photographs taken by the author of real students and their work. He also includes relevant and interesting conversations between the participants. Together, they bring the stories to life and invite the reader to sit alongside and participate in the explorations and experiences.
The children’s art was often outstanding, but the journey, rather than the destination, carried the greater significance. The author used art as a means of reaching out to the children. Many of them had no wish to attend school.
Their shared successes brought about a dramatic rise in the children’s self-esteem, which in turn gave them a more positive attitude towards learning, as well as improved their relationships with each other. School became an exciting place as the teacher and the children together played the active roles of teachers and learners. They were learning how to learn.

Welcome to “Healing From Within” with your host Sheryl Glick RMT author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories of healing, miracles, and messages from Universal Source that shows us our challenges are not economic political societal but a disconnect from our true being or inner wisdom. Sheryl as an intuitive Reiki energy practitioner is delighted today to have Dr. Michael J. Young author of The Illness of Medicine Experiences of Clinical Practice shares the significant obstacles patients endure as well as the exasperation many of the truly dedicated medical professionals feel.
Michael as listeners of Healing From within have discovered over the years my esteemed guests and I share many stories miracles and truths about the nature of both physical and spiritual life and how merging both as well as merging allopathic and alternative healing methods offer people to discover more about life happiness and living with hope beyond any of the physical challenges. Life is a journey of self -discovery and refining many of our misguided or misinterpreted beliefs and thinking as we find new perspectives and heal all trauma. Beyond pain, suffering and limitations is the path to freedom from fear and the journey and discoveries are never ending.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Dr. Michael Young will discuss the controlling efforts of the insurance industry and the clout pharmaceutical companies have over us which has become overwhelming. Dr. Young remembers a time in his 30 year medical practice when these industries worked for us and the physicians. We will explore how to navigate through our healthcare system beyond the mechanism of profit that it has become.
When Dr. Young is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place event that may have shown him or others the lifestyle work or interests he might have an as adult he remembers going to his pediatricians office and loving the smells and feeling deeply fond of the doctor who always told him the truth such as the injection would hurt but it was necessary to keep him healthy and safe. Paul Young actually wanted to be that kind of doctor- one who would help their patients manage their health issues honestly and with support from the practitioners and the system. That was the way it was but technology, the insurance pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and government and the need for greater profits have limited the personal aspect to healthcare at this juncture in time.
Michael Young M.D. tells us about the hopes and intentions you had as a young doctor, about his training and interests and how the system was then and what is going on now. In other words he tells us what goes on behind the scenes in the medical health delivery system in the USA. Dr. Young tells us of deciding to be a urologist as he felt they are confronted with few emergencies, have a myriad of procedures and technological tools at their disposal and enjoy a broad mix of office and hospital exposure. It is also one of the fields popular with medical students interested in a surgical career.
Dr. Young also tells us the hardest experience a young physician has to deal with and one never forgotten is the first patient’s death for which he or she feels accountable. Mine was a man in his mid-sixties recovering from open heart surgery for a redo or the second time around. He was also a brittle diabetic, obese and had COPD or pulmonary disease. Dr. Young kept checking on him all day but while his pulse oximeter indicated he was maintaining a reasonable level of blood oxygenation but what was not obvious was his effort and amount of energy being expended by him to maintain that steady oxygenation. As the day progressed his saturation levels were slowly diminishing. He expressed he was fine, until he really wasn’t, and by 11 pm in the evening he was really working hard to get oxygen in and out. He was losing the battle to breathe. There was a code blue called. He was connected to the ventilator and while his body had sustained the arrest, his brain had not. Eventually months later, it was known the patient would not recover and that cognitive function was not evident. The family elected to disconnect him from life support. He died and Dr. Young was saddened by this event and angry that the system had put him in this position—alone on a weekend, just over a year after graduating medical school, without any support or supervision.
We can discuss how Medical Care is perceived on both sides by the patient and practitioner. In the past children were prepared to respect going to see their pediatrician. The doctor spent time helping the parent and child to relax before getting to the examination or any test necessary at that visit. Actually, it was seen as a visit or something more intimate and doctors were important to the health of the entire family. Fast -forward decades later now doctors enter the office an hour before patients are scheduled to boot up their computer and review the onslaught of new tasks—reviewing lab results, pathology reports and x-ray reports, and good results are often reported quickly and a bad result might wait till after the weekend . The art of medicine began with the basics: knowing how and when to inform a patient of his or her medical information. Also, now we have endless pages of information we must solicit from patients related to everything from their current medical complaint to their lifestyle and even psychological status. Much of this is mandated by insurance providers. What the doctor wants to know from the patient is where things hurt and when.
But in this modern technological era we have become prisoners to our own attempts to improve understanding. No longer does a patient come to the office with his or her insurance information sign in and wait. Then their blood pressure is taken and usually it’s a little high and we wonder why They might be told the referral is missing or outdated and the patient is worried about their condition and has to complete an encyclopedia in a tablet he could barely read. Thankfully nearly every referral initiated by a primary care physician is granted by the insurer or HMO but remember to bring that referral or there will be delays or problems in receiving the test or treatment needed.
Often patients have no control over their own healthcare choices and doctors have lost the ability to be self-directed in-patient care as well. During the Covid epidemic or plague as Sheryl likes to call it many doctors were told not to us Hydrochloroquine a drug which has been in use to treat malaria and rheumatoid arthritis for years. The CDC and other agencies while they had no treatments to offer limited offering what later on was known to be very helpful in lowering the deaths from Covid in many patients. Some doctors were able to prescribe it but others were not allowed. Many other inconsistencies in treating Covid victims were also contributive to the many deaths and people infected. In reviewing the whole process we will find out that political influences and financial concerns also were part of the decision making processes.
Going on with problems in the new systems employed we begin with a new patient comes into the exam room after dealing with the front desk and giving any information or medical insurance cards and is then seen by a medical assistant who will take vital signs, temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, and record weight and height, and update the computer record of the patient’s profile, pertaining to changes in medications and other personal information. By this time often the patient is exhausted from the intake process that he is like a lamb or so wired up and angry at the process that apologies and reassurances are necessary. Now the doctor says, Now what are you here for today? And now it begins.
Sheryl says that recently she saw a new pulmonologist for a continuing problem with phlegm or clearing of the throat which had gotten worse after having Covid April 2020. For the past 25 years Sheryl had trouble with allergies and at times bronchitis and had at that time seen a pulmonologist who told her that her cough was innocuous and not a real problem…but since having covid and some breathing problems that persisted, Sheryl was checking everything out. The assistant who took her blood pressure asked her if she could take her shirt off. A red flag went up and Sheryl responded that of course she could, but why would she take blood pressure and told the aid her request was unreasonable and she didn’t know how to communicate with a patient. She apologized. Then the woman roughly pulled up her sleeve and told Sheryl her blood pressure was 176 over 90. That was very unlikely, but Sheryl was agitated by the aide’s behavior. The aid left the room and Sheryl started to feel the air in the room very toxic and uncomfortable. Sheryl is an empath and picks up emotions, pain and negativity.
Sheryl had never had an experience like this before and was confident enough to stand up to the erratic behavior of the aid but was still made uncomfortable by the experience. When the doctor came in the energy shifted for the better and the experience with the doctor was quite remarkable. Sheryl asked the doctor if anyone had been in the room who was very ill or had an emotional problem as the energy in the room had been very heavy and physically uncomfortable for Sheryl. The doctor responded, “She alright.” I have myself been in offices where there are people who are very negative and upset with the functioning of the office, but often the doctors are unaware, as they are too busy or are not as sensitive as Sheryl to weed out people who don’t belong there.
There are significant obstacles patients endure and the exasperation of the healthcare system is systemic.
Dr. Young writes, “Teaching someone who wants to be a surgeon to sew is not difficult. Likewise teaching a young surgeon to cut here and repair something else there is tedious but achievable. Teaching that same young person, the judgment to know whether to operate is difficult.
Learning to understand one’s limitations as a surgeon, as a physician with the responsibility to consider all options in caring for one’s patient—including the option not to intervene—is, I believe, the hallmark of a surgical education. Certainly, a physician may physically treat his last patient similarly to his very first. Same procedure for the same problem. But the process of understanding the situation, the nuances that may differ consequently between treating the first and last patient, defines the experience of practicing medicine that cannot be taught. It cannot be read in a book or gleaned from articles in a journal. The experience of understanding medicine must be lived through while making a considerable effort to learn and retain each event and outcome that transpired.
Then there is knowing how much time depends upon the doctor’s individual assessment of the patient.
There are two extreme types of reactions, always a bit curious and troubling to deal with. On the one hand there were patients who assumed no responsibility for treatment and would delegate this entirely to the doctor. Whatever you say Doc. This was never good and rarely led to the desired outcome without significant bumps along the way. When problems resulted, the patient would immediately claim that nobody told him anything.
The other difficult patient type was the overly suspicious individual. He wanted records of everything. He brought in realms of printed material from the internet and he always had a family member somewhere on the planet who was an expert in the field. These patients were difficult because everything for them was a challenge as was dealing with problems. Making decisions was a challenge as was dealing with problems. Progress was slow and tedious as this type of patient had literally too much information to process and rarely delegated decision making to anyone. Deciding what to eat for dinner was probably an arduous task for this personality type.
Sheryl tells the listening audience that it is important they become proactive in their own treatment plans and can say no or get a second opinion if uncomfortable or unsure of what is being suggested to them.
Sheryl tells of going to a dermatologist for a small bump in her thigh that had been there for some time. Her sister was being treated for pancreatic cancer so she thought she should check it out. Her original dermatologist doctor asked if it hurt and if it did not he would leave it alone. Sheryl should have listened to him for when she said it hurt a little when she moved it around he sent her to the surgeon in the office to remove it. It was extremely painful and Sheryl was traveling far away in a week and would not have done this procedure then if she knew it could be a problem.
When she returned to have the stitches out weeks later, the doctor and another doctor who had entered the room for support, it seemed told her she would need two more surgical procedures in that leg. The scar was healing strangely and Sheryl asked, “Is it cancer?” “No,” the doctor responded and Sheryl said, “So Why would you want to do more surgery?” and the doctor responded, “Because we’re doctors and that’s what we do.” Well what might it be? Well it might be a fungus? How would you treat it if it were a fungus? The doctor responded with, “I would treat it with antibiotics.” So you would do two more minor surgeries looking for something, but you don’t know why? Sheryl said, “No.” left that office and never returned. She had the results sent to her primary care doctor and years later had no reaction from that spot. This story shows you how as a patient you must take charge of your own care if something doesn’t feel right. But as an intuitive energy practitioner and empath, Sheryl followed a spiritual sense for her own treatment needs.
What might be ways to perhaps reform the system and return to a more personalized individualized way to deal with patients? It might work if all the main players in the health field insurance companies’ pharmaceutical government agencies physicians and patients were able to be more humane and less focused on the bottom line, the money or profit mode. As it is now hospitals are closing and many doctors have been forced to join hospital systems or multi-practice organizations.
Dr. Young writes,” It is said that he who owns the gold makes the golden rules: In the case of medical care in the United States, it is the insurance companies that own the gold. Looking at the skyline they seem to have the highest and largest buildings. Obtaining insurance approval for a surgical procedure can be difficult for the insurers will not only assess the need for the procedure, but will also determine the appropriate number of days the patient will be allowed to stay in the hospital, have rehabilitation services, etc.
The fact is the assessor deciding the appropriateness of the procedures is highly unlikely to be someone capable of doing the procedure, meaning the insurance approval expert is generally not a practicing physician in the area in which we are trying to get approval. Often, I have found that the medical directors of insurance companies are semi-retired or part time physicians, perhaps of limited clinical experience. Certainly, most don’t have the equal training and expertise in each and every medical scenario on which they are rendering judgment. Yet they are the ones determining if a patient can undergo a particular treatment or procedure.
Often patient demand for procedures or medications which can derive significant revenue encourages overuse of certain treatments. It is no surprise that a number of non-urology trained physicians began prescribing medicine for erectile dysfunction, some with rather limited experience of their side effects. A general rule in surgery is that if you can’t manage the complication, then you shouldn’t be performing the procedure.
Similarly, from Dr. Young’s point of view if a physician doesn’t understand or know how to manage the complication of a drug, then he or she should not prescribe it. Dr. Young tells of going into the rehabilitation floor of a particular hospital which made him aware of problems at the hospital he was becoming frustrated with. Many of the patients were past the acute phases of their illnesses undergoing occupational speech or physical therapy to regain independence but were at different stages. As a result of these differences life on the floor was disjointed. This set up definitely needs some rethinking and changes.
There is also a growing disconnect between physicians and the majority of floor nurses and it is not because of a lack of dedication or interest in health care but the hospital system has gotten in the way of caring for patients. Floor nurses now spend more time on computer terminals documenting what has transpired in their patient encounters than actually developing an understanding of the patient’s diseases and processes. Simply put, less time is being spent with the actual patient.
However, nurse practitioners NP are an invaluable asset to doctors for managing their practice. These are nurses with advanced training and they can truly facilitate patient care. Dr. Young says he has rarely met NP’s that weren’t competent and dedicated. They can perform many of our fundamental floor procedures and often communicate effectively with patients regarding health conditions and treatment plans. Perhaps more important they are able to interact very efficiently with floor nurses. We need to see more well trained Nurse Practitioners and hospitals should provide incentives for advancing their skills with further education.
Technology is affecting the changing nature of medicine. Dr. Young tells us he knows it sounds cliché when the older generation reflects on the current state of affairs and feels that the olden days were better. I think in the case of medicine it is true. Yes there have been significant improvements through our technology. We have better instrumentation, improved diagnostic capabilities, a more refined understanding of physiology, and greater ability to intervene with disease processes. But I feel the situation is somewhat analogous to the current state of interpersonal communication. Today we have fax machines text messaging e-mails voicemail but we don’t communicate any better In fact because of these options we talk less to each other and important information and context can be lost or misinterpreted via text messages.
Our technology has also forged new roads of confusion and concern among patients. There once was a time when a patient could talk to the doctor after hours for concerns about a new or ongoing treatment. Now answering machines pick up the call and many elderly patients simply cannot adapt to the communication changes and also many calls are lost or improperly routed. Among other technological wonders in the world of medicine are the now mandated portal systems by which patients can access their medical records online 24/7. The patient may decide to read their recent lab reports not necessarily understanding them but they do have this option.
However I think the most significant change in patient access to health care information has involved the internet in general which is filled with innumerable sites related to health care, the lot of them offering bounteous medical verbiage for the interpretation or misinterpretation of all who click in…Often the patient might decide which approach to choose regardless if it is appropriate or possible in terms of their condition or needs. I support self-education and encourage patients to learn about their conditions. But a little bit of knowledge without a complete grasp of the context and processes involved can lead to misunderstandings that are potentially dangerous. Example: A man with prostate cancer who needed surgery chose herbal treatment instead and three years later returned and the cancer had metastasized and moved into his bones and lymph nodes.
Sheryl suggests that some people would choose alternative treatments before surgery if it possibly was early in the diagnosis and could help in addition to western medicine and might want the most gentle approach before surgery which we all know can have many complications. Using judgment is necessary by both doctor and patient to achieve the best results.
We thank Dr.Michael J. Young author of The Illness of Medicine for sharing a most expansive detailed look at the life of a surgeon and the changing issues facing the medical profession, insurance companies, pharmaceutical, government interests, and last of all, which should always be first, the patient.
In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within” we have seen how Dr. Michel Young whose father, grandfather, and great grandfather were all physicians has brought details and examples of changing doctors’ practices hospital and medical institutions so we can see the necessity for the balancing of technology, corporations, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, with the personal involvement of medical professionals and their patients and remember to merge the best of progress with the gentleness of past times so medicine doesn’t decline into an impersonal exchange between the parties where respect, honor, and faith, for the needs of all participants are no longer honored. True healing is not merely moving beyond symptoms through medicine surgery or therapy. It is the ability of the patient and physician to form a human bond for healing the mind body.
We are now aware that corporations control the financing of much of the healthcare delivery system and that is becoming a greater problem. You have only to watch episodes of The Resident on national television to see the implications of the many problems facing dedicated doctors, nurses and patients trying desperately to navigate the laws of the corporation hospital insurance companies trying to provide a level of care that is acceptable and profitable. The Physician is no longer in charge of his or her patient’s health care delivery. He or she is told how many patients must be seen and in what time frame and what interventions are allowed. Consequently, the doctor’s office is no longer a health care sanctuary, a place to go for comfort and healing. It has become a monitored managed pathway for billing. Like our Law Enforcement agents, the system is taking away their personal power to respond to difficult confrontational events with their hands tied behind them, Often the offenders or criminals are treated as victims and the police as the problem. These changes in society mainly political and economic are not for the benefit of the parties involved and I think we must all stand up for what is rightful action for best results looking not to judge or blame, but to learn as humans we can only do our best for each other and we must encourage through legislation and the courts to uphold the rights of all people in all situations, so we can do better than just surviving in a world that is losing it’s love of individual excellence. To have and give the best care, restoring the best in the practice of self-care and care for others, reminds us we are human and unique. In our differences we must find ways to restore our faith in humanity and find healing beyond systems but through love.
Dr. Michael Young and I would have you remember not to be overwhelmed by the changes happening now as there is indeed, spiritually speaking, a personal plan for each of us and a collective plan to advance the soul to greater levels of higher consciousness. Through facing the challenges, we learn gratitude, acceptance, intention, and non-judgment, and find peace beyond any challenge we are given. Change is necessary and often leads to improving our sense of knowing who we are and what values are really important in a human life cycle.

If you have been following this show and me for a while you have heard me say often that sales and marketing are two different things, and that every business must pay attention to both sides of the same coin. I see both pieces of the business puzzle as a married entity and need to work together to execute business growth.
So in the world of marketing, we need to be sure we have a marketing plan that supports the strategy or growth plan of the business. Since I am a sales expert and not a marketing expert, I hire people to help my business with these strategies.
So how do you build quality Marketing support?

Hannah McKitrick’s background is first and foremost a “foodie”. But she also had to learn how to heal her own gut through diet. After living the experience of healing her gut through food, she decided to further her knowledge of the mind-body connection, and obtained her holistic nutritionist certification, yoga teacher training, and masters in Italian cuisine!
Hannah is now an Anti-diet Wellness Chef and Intuitive Healer on a mission to help others heal their mind, body, and soul while having fun both in the kitchen and beyond! She works with heart-centered women looking to add more nourishment, joy, and play into their health and lives. Her virtual cooking programs and Italy retreats bring the joy back into nourishing foods while also connecting deeply and authentically with oneself and others. With Hannah, you ditch the diet and instead optimize nutrition by bringing flavor, flexibility, and balance back into the kitchen.
Hannah focuses on helping her clients reconnect their own intuition to their health by honoring both their emotional and physical desires so they can stop the war with their body and mind. She believes each person has the power to create their own intuitive health that makes them feel unstoppable.

This week in the Art of Creating Beauty: Flowers, Fibonacci, & My Face, Gina shares a personal awakening she had many years ago while in an art class.
Her teacher shattered her belief about beauty. Changing it forever. But thankfully in an extraordinary way.
You see, Gina always believed that nature was perfect. It was beautiful. It was exquisite.
So, when her teacher said, what she believed to be otherwise… she found herself dumbfounded.
She got herself together and then tuned in to the instructor’s explanation.
This led her down a path of discovery. One which she’ll share with you today.
Listen in as she discusses what transpired and what she’s learned since. And what we each can learn from Fibonacci’s famous formula. His “secret code to nature,” as some call it.
Gina will help us see and recognize our outer beauty, inner-most beauty & life in a profound way.
IF you are ready to show up and SHINE, this is for you. This episode will have you feeling (even) MORE confident in front of the mirror and the camera.
Check out her video about it here!

Pornography is easy to access. It’s available 24/7 and never says “no”. But is accessing it regularly necessarily a problem. Seeing pornography and its presence in your marriage as problematic is kind of like beauty, it’s in the eye of the beholder. But if one of you thinks it’s a problem, then it truly is a problem. And finding a solution can be tricky. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist Diane Gleim brings some clarity to this complicated issue.
If you’re experiencing challenges in your marriage, Lesli can help. Please share this informative episode on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
The book is composed of a series of 30 articles that grew out of the author's quest to find a way to live with being an open empath. The articles are divided into three categories:
AWARENESS ARTICLESMEAUNDERINGSANOMALIES
The “Awareness” articles introduce concepts that the author learned and has found invaluable in her own life and growth. The other articles are to share some of the experiences that she had throughout her life, that may "ring a bell" for others. And, as is true with everyone, perspective is everything and the book may help others whose perspectives are more closely related to mine.
Although the book is not an autobiography, it does include some of the author’s personal experiences in the hope that the reader may find something that relates to their own life experiences. The book is about life experiences that lead the author to a mentor, a counselor, and to Alaska.
The author had a near death experience (NDE) and hopes that people who have also had near death experiences will find the book comforting, interesting, and maybe helpful in finding ways to incorporate the many changes an NDE causes. She also believes it will appeal to people who are having difficulties in their relationships or finding dissatisfaction in their lives.

The Author
Paul W Naragon is an American author presently living in Phoenix Arizona. As a child he lived on a farm until he left high school. In his twenties he worked as a new car sales manager for Buick, Honda and Mercedes-Benz. For a while he was a trouble-shooter for an insurance company. At thirty Paul joined the U.S. Army, he served in Germany and ended active duty as a member of the Multi-National Peacekeeping Force and Observers in the Sinai Desert, Eygpt. During that time, he received two Army Achievements Medals and two Army Commendation Medals. After military service Paul did a variety of jobs, including truck driving. After a near death experience accident, he was promoted to Director of Training a position he loved very much.
Paul has lived in the Peruvian Andes and the Indian Himalayas; he has visited many countries in Central and South America, and it is fair to say that from those places the spiritual essences of some of his poems/messages originate; having seen and experienced the local cultures of those regions.
Opportunities, for Paul are to be pursued, he studied Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin, was awarded a National Defence Foreign Language Fellowship to study Tibetan, he also studied Korean at the Defence Language Institute at Monterey in California, and Russian in college.
Paul has been married now for four years to a woman he met forty years earlier, at that time their paths were on different tangents and for decades they led separate lives, but a chance encounter brought them together a few years back and neither of them have looked back.
A quirky aspect of Paul’s life if you can call it that, is the fact he has no fear of death due to an out of body experience he had when he was four-years-old. For me that’s an interesting concept.

The Book
This is the second book in what I see as the Gibberrish’s Rhymes series, whether Paul sees them in that way or intends for them to be viewed in that fashion is open for debate. Equally open for discussion is; is this book, a book of poems, or a collection of writings with significant messages attached to them, for me you’d be justified to take either viewpoint, but Paul’s stand here is set out in the first paragraph of the introduction, so I’ll give you his version, but at the end of the day you the reader should make your own mind up about these 117, poems, sayings, or writings. But the most important thing to remember is the underlying message within each significant text.
Paul’s Viewpoint:
‘Because this book is written in poetic rhyme does not mean the book is about poetry. On the contrary, poetry is the messenger delivering the message in a unique way. The message presented here is an assortment of ideas by which to create a new life for the reader who wishes to do so. One idea seldom considered is the vibrational frequency of particular words and visible impact they have on the body which is the unspoken source of health or illness.’
Paul’s ideology behind this book as far as I can see is to give you the reader a different aspect to life especially when it comes to making changes to our lives for the better. The rhyming couplets in the book show how lives evolve and how we can re- channel our inner energies to better ourselves bringing about a more balanced well-being persona to both ourselves and those around us.
All I say here is, open his book and make your own minds up as to how you view Paul’s writings and idealistic thinking’s.

We continue developing our mindfulness action plan developed by Donald J. Moran and Siri Ming. Each person listening to this podcast has a sphere of influence. We should increase our happiness score in our lives and the lives of the people we are around by learning how to improve and raise our happiness score.
The mindfulness action plan uses the following sentence: "I am here now, accepting the way I feel and noticing my thoughts, while doing what I care about." The mindfulness action plan sentence is an outline of the MAP: it also serves as a great review that helps us track how we are moving along and developing our minds for this action plan (MAP). In this episode, I will talk about "noticing." which is the next MAP part. Noticing has a lot to do with the practice of awareness. Noticing is recognizing diffusion versus fusion. Recognize our thoughts and behaviors associated with the thoughts as helpful or productive. Choosing useful behavior is a part of diffusion noticing. Choosing nonproductive behavior and responding in a restrictive manner is part of fusion noticing.
Join me and find out how distraction can play the role of a disc jockey that may be controlling behavior.

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal, but a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Sheryl welcomes Christy Whitman, author of The Desire Factor which shares how valuable it is to live our most wonderful physical life as we discover how acts of creation or spiritual processing manifest into the tangible form.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware, Sheryl and her sensitive intuitive guests share a clearer view or broader awareness of how spiritual and physical life can unfold, merge together for greater efficacy, through working alongside numerous challenges provided by life circumstances and eventually lead us to understand the ability we all possess to manifest a life of happiness abundance success. We also may find life as the precious gift and miracle it is. As we study the concept of duality or physical and spiritual essences, we may be able to determine who we really are?
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Christy Whitman shows precise steps for bringing about the manifestation of any desire showing us the true gift is not in acquiring our desires: it is the people we become in the process of our desires moving through us. The skills, strengths and character traits we develop in the process of self -growth and the energy refinement of our spirit stays with us always as we learn to lean into a healthy loving and joyful life.
When Sheryl asks Christy to think back to childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown her or others the life interests work or life style she might pursue as an adult she writes that earlier in her life, she experienced a connection with source energy as a silent presence that communicated with her mainly through intuition and downloads of insight that guided her in the direction of her highest good. Later on in life she found its messages come through in distinct blocks of thought, offered to her by a collection of nonphysical ascended masters that call themselves the Quantum Council. As you’ll soon discover, the Council has a unique way of saying things, and—because they are entirely focused—they offer a perspective that is often very different from Christy’s own. To give you a direct experience of the depth of their wisdom, I’ve included direct quotes offered by the Council at the beginning of each chapter. The Council’s intention is to help humanity embrace our innate creative power and to understand that we are divinely designed to experience well-being, abundance, success, and loving relationships. Each of us receives these impulses from our creator in our own unique way, and each of us in turn provides for our creator a unique avenue through which this energy can flow and express itself through our human attributes.
Sheryl and Christy agree that they were always following the sensible and helpful guidance that floated into their thoughts as children though at time not entirely aware of higher soul beings or guides that were with us all the time so we were never alone.
We are not separate from the nonphysical source that created us and all things—we are an inseparable, integrated part of it. But, by the power of our own free will, we can choose to hold ourselves temporarily apart from the energy of our creator by virtue of the thoughts we think and the perceptions we hold to be true.
When we perceive ourselves as separate from the nonphysical source that created all things; when we mistakenly believe that the three-dimensional material world is all that exists; when we allow ourselves to believe that there are evil forces with the power to insert themselves into our experience; when we become so addicted to drama, chaos, conflict,

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Lawrence J. Peter, “If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else."
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/0S6XbXdZmWk
Check Out These Highlights:Today’s quote actually made me pause and reflect on my own business journey over the past 21 years and knowing where I was going was not always clear or easy to define!
I know for me as a business owner, finding the next step is important yet I have also learned that moving forward, even if a misstep is still good and allows for easier shifts and pivots. It also allows for learning and defining what is working and what changes are needed along the way.
So is there an easier way to grow a business using goals to support long-term solutions that stick?

If you’re like many people, you may be disappointed or worse, unhappy, in your marriage. You may think that ending it will be the answer to your pain. Divorce is the answer for some marriages but unhappy people who divorce are no happier five years later than unhappy people who choose not to divorce. And divorce brings its own set of challenges, especially if you have children. The consequences of your decision don’t just impact you. So, it’s important to be sure. Former attorney, co-founder of the Coalition for Divorce Reform, and author of Disassembly Required: A Memoir of Midlife Resurrection Beverly Willett provides insight into the realities of divorce.
If you’d like an alternative to divorce for a less-than marriage, Lesli can help. Please share the show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Yohance Salimu
“We shine bright so that others may shine brighter.”

Check Out These Highlights:
As I searched for the perfect quote today, I wasn’t sure what I was actually looking for. Then I read this quote and it came together for me!
I believe we all have gifts to share with the world. Understanding or clearly seeing our own gifts may not always be easy. You know the saying; you can’t see the forest from the trees?”
When we are too close to our own stuff, life, and situation, it is sometimes hard to see things with clarity.
The other thing I liked about this quote was the idea that as we shine brighter, we illuminate the path for others. For me, it has always been about community and serving others, and believe that together we truly can make an impact on this earth.

Join Doc Holliday for a time to be thankful for liberty and freedom on this week's show. Doc uses of all things, a movie from Hollywood to remind us about the nature of liberty and the desparation that comes about when freedom is lost. Here is a great article about that movie if you would like to explore more more about Casablanca.Doc also tells about one of his friends who is a true hero from World War II and still alive and getting around well at the age of 98. In this world of uncertainty and those who try to limit our freedoms, it is well to reflect back on what we can be thankful for as we strive to persevere in the march toward more freedom and more liberty in America and around the world! Listen to a thankful show right now.
We are starting a series covering the four physical elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. We are beginning with Water because in The Path Tradition the season of Samhain is where we feel most connected to this element with its Flows of Connections. This extra gives some of the more common associations and correspondences for this element along with some ideas about collecting various types of water for use in different types of spellwork.

In today’s episode of Healing From Within Elke Scholz will share strategies and exercises and the thoughts of five contributors who share her passion to empower people to realize their inner strengths and to help deal with the trauma and stress of life. Dr. Scholz will guide you to go from feeling like a victim of anxiety to an empowered warrior over it. Along with several other practitioners, she supplies readers with the tools to deal with trauma, stress, overcoming fear, and creating a healthy, more resilient way to look at life and all situations.
When Elke is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person, place or event that may have suggested to her or others around her the interests work lifestyle she might embrace as an adult, she describes her childhood and writes, “I have had anxiety all my life, but I did not always know it. As a child I had migraines, tummy aches, and flu-ish feelings so often that I had to miss school. My mom believed me, however my dad did not think I was truly sick. Often, I would be sick before a test or presentation. I also would cry easily in class if teachers raised their voice, even when it was not directed at me. I remember as a teen feeling angry hopeless misunderstood and very alone, until I met my two very special teachers, Mrs. Yeo and my creative English Teacher and Mr. Hodwitz, my Drama teacher. They saved my life. After their classes I felt I would be okay in the world.”
Elke goes on to describe what anxiety is and how we can start a checklist of the things that trigger a person’s anxiety. Anxiety is part of the human spectrum of feelings. Anxiety can be a gift or a clue notifying us that we need to pay attention to something that perhaps is amiss. However, we can have a life where anxiety does not control our lives, our decisions and our choices. What does a life managing anxiety feel like? It feels empowering. It feels like I have a choice. It feels like I can. It feels like I have a right to be happy. It feels like I am able. And it feels like I am worthy of thriving.
Elke writes that studies suggest that our anxiety level is generally higher than it was 30 years ago and it’s starting earlier in life. Elke uses a scale of 0 to 10 for a useful check in scale. By giving your anxiety a number sometimes it is easier to examine. Zero is no disturbance, so at 0 you are calm, settled and relaxed. As the anxiety grows your numbers get higher. For example, at 1 you might feel a little jittery or nervous, maybe even excited, and that might be a 2 or 3 and is very manageable. However, when you reach 4 you might want to use the strategies you will learn here because you don’t want to go higher as it could escalate and overwhelm you quickly at this point. At 10 you might have heart pain, labored breathing, nausea and so on.

During this episode, I share how to reconstruct our responses to stressors, dangers, and anxieties. Our reactions to the environment are programmed in our brains as flight, fight, or fear. The reaction to stressors is for our survival and safety; however, our response to stressors and anxieties should change because times have changed. I invite you to join me in learning how to use the mindful skill of acceptance as a primary response to environmental triggers of stress. To make this episode more realistic, I am happy to share an example of how I used reconstructed acceptance in an actual situation when you were listening to this podcast. Acceptance means to recognize and be aware of our feelings. Acceptance does not mean taking on the heavy loads and burdens of whatever we’re going through and dragging it as luggage throughout our life. In mindfulness, acceptance means to look at the baggage, recognize the baggage and tell the bags you’re just part of the trip; you’re not the adventure.

Yes, the two main people impacted by divorce are you and your spouse. But everyone in your sphere is also impacted—your family, your friends, and, most importantly, your children. How you handle the disruption for them is critically important. But they often don’t share their real feelings, and this can make the whole process more stressful for everyone. Accredited and Child Inclusive Family Mediator Louisa Whitney reveals what you can do to make the process better for everyone.

Abigail Olson’s life seemed to be falling apart. She was going through a tough time after her potential career and relationship fell through, on the exact same day (!), so she took a break from it all and started reading a lot. That down time led her to a book “Why Does He Do That” by Lundy Bancroft which helped her to realize some of the things she was experiencing in her relationship wasn’t the best thing for her. Abigail began writing down her painful moments to help sort out her feelings about her relationship and career path, which eventually led to her book “The Hay-Wagon”.
“The Hay-Wagon” is a young woman’s memoir about getting her CDL and going through her first serious relationship. It is a Next Generation Indie Book Award finalist in the Women’s Issues
(Non-Fiction) and Short Story Collections categories. The book was included on the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools’ 2020-2021 Books of Interest list for grades 9-12.
In this interview, Abigail and I discuss the success of her book, what she learned in the process and what life looks like going forward. We talk about giving yourself permission to find a way to empower yourself, even if it’s unconventional, about perseverance, and the importance of going after what is calling you in life.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Ayn Rand
“Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish but will not replace you as the driver.”
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/ll0W5Y4kmCU
Check Out These Highlights:
Money is one of my favorite topics to discuss because we all have money issues. We have beliefs around money from our own experiences throughout our life as well as beliefs that have been handed down by parents, teachers, family members, etc.
I believe we all desire happiness, healthy relationships, and financial freedom.
For many, our financial blueprint is not in alignment with the success we want to create. By understanding our own energy bodies through chakra work and discovering unconscious beliefs, fears, and patterns, and by knowing our unique money archetypes my guest today uses these tools to help us shift from a disempowered to making choices to empower a positive money relationship.
About Janet Key:
Janet is a soulful money coach who empowers women seeking financial freedom. Janet found happiness in all areas of her life, except money.
With a background in yoga and finances, she was intuitively led to take her relationship with money to a deeper level. She explored her own money mindset and discovered deep-rooted beliefs about not being enough which stemmed from her own poverty upbringing. Janet's mission: Inspire women to heal money relationships and to embody abundance by living their soul's highest potential.

Connie's motivational quote today is by Stephen Covey “Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.”
Do you have any bad habits? Come on, you know what I am talking about! If we know what is considered a good versus a bad habit, why do we have so many darn bad habits? Most of us have tried to lose weight, get in better shape by going to the gym every day, eat healthier, stop smoking, and the list goes on and on. So if we know what makes a habit good or bad, why do we still have so many that often seem to be out of control. What if I told you there is an almost foolproof way to really change up your behavior patterns - Do I have your attention?? Is this even possible?

Finally, this week's Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint talks about creating Element Jars as a way to represent each of the four Physical Elements for all kinds of things.
Now that we know God only has one law, what do we do with that information? How does it change our lives? How does it affect the people in our lives?

What began as personal, private morning pages written by the author to calm anxiety, worry, and to explore life’s struggles, created a connection with the divine like no other. It is from this journal that the messages in the book came into existence.
The book is about our connections and relationship with our higher selves. It’s about life within. It’s about finding what works for you and how you communicate with God.
The book is simple and easy to read and understand. Readers can feel the words as they read them. They are speaking to you and only you. You can easily find a page that will resonate with how you are in the moment and get comfort from the words. The spaces are there to give the reader time to ponder and think about the message that they have received. Then, the affirmations at the bottom of the page help to guide the reader to greater understanding of the messages.
The messages can help support and empower others – empower women to learn and grow and understand themselves. And so... “Messages from the Divine Mother”
https://www.amazon.com/Messages-Divine-Mother-Selection-Conversations-ebook/dp/B09VK5J8HL/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9781982285234&qid=1661395352&sr=8-1
Dee Buchanan spent over 20 years journaling. Now, her journal is a book of messages to support and empower women to learn and grow and understand themselves. This episode is based on her book Messages from the Divine Mother: A Selection of Spiritual Conversations for Women.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Let’s call this a Holiday edition of Newsgram because if I do this right it’s going to fill you with the holiday spirit and make you feel good. It’s a show about love; Unconditional love. It’s about soothing messages of validation. It’s about feelings. Divine Mother energy. It’s about the light.
Dee Buchanan - When in the darkness of life the light is always there.
When in the darkness of life the light is always there — a lot being said there from Dee Buchanan. She is the author of a book you might not be expecting me to talk about. It’s called Messages from the Divine Mother: A Selection of Spiritual Conversations for Women. I think it’s for anyone really but you’ll understand the title in a minute.It is the accumulation of Dee’s twenty years of journal entries redrafted into a book but the thing I liked most about it was that creating a book was not the intention.
Dee Buchanan - I never actually wrote my journal to be published. It was a very personal journey of mine at a certain time when I was going through all the emotions you go through when things don’t seem to be going well or you feel like everything is crashing down on you. It was my release from being able to talk about my emotions and at the same time use my journal like a prayer book. every morning actually praying but through writing to talk about all the things I was feeling and asking for answers, asking for confirmation, just really pouring my heart out because I felt I had nowhere else to go to do that to be actually truthful and honest about myself.
So she just started writing. Which is what they tell you in workshops or when you are stuck with writers block. Just write anything and eventually the words will flow and the process will take on a life of its own.
Dee Buchanan - So I used to just get up every morning and do that but then one morning I felt that something spiritual was happening and so it became like a…my own morning prayer, you know my own morning food or spiritual breakfast every morning.
She writes very descriptively about what she was feeling and seeing and thinking each day, which is something many of us do but for Dee the process became a spiritual one which is how it became messages from the Divine Mother.
Dee Buchanan - The interesting thing about it was that I started addressing my journal every morning to the holy mother and then it was divine mother and it always started with Good morning Mother or good morning Holy Mother or good morning Divine Mother. I then began to feel that I was actually addressing my journal to the Divine Mother it wasn’t even purposeful or meant to be it was just that as I went on these are the words that came through and so i didn’t even think about it like that i just got up every morning and wrote to the divine mother and that’s it. Off I went after that.
Channeling? Divine inspiration? Who knows but the words and the process that was once private and personal to Dee became something new and important that could be shared with others. Let me read you the forward which was written by SisDr Sandra Richards
“…Messages from the Divine Mother is a collection of the love notes you would yearn for, from a wise one with only unconditional love for you. It is equivalent to witnessing the blossoming of a sacred and diluted love affair. When I read it, it feels like I'm reading love notes. It opens up chakras, and it balances. It is an incredibly penetrating read. I paused, reflected, and resumed. I gasped; I nodded my head, I smiled. I had epiphanies, I made agreement sounds, and I had experience after experience. This is a healing balm.
The inspiration for the book came from the author’s daughter, Ashli, who was three years old.Ashli said to the author, “Tell me a story, Daddy.”“Okay but you have to give me the title,” the author replied.“A Dandelion,” she said. And a new universe of writing was born.
Sally Dandelion is a kind-hearted soul just trying to go through life. Not being invited to a party based on what kind of flower/weed you are is not fair. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly.
“A DANDELION” addresses racism in a kind way through flowers. It takes place in a make-believe flower town. Themes include being kind, being humble and reserving judgment.
Be careful who you judge because that flower/weed may one day save your life!

The Author
Andrew Everstine is an American author from Woodbridge, Virginia, whose love of writing has spanned more than three decades. He’s written a variety of stories both for young children and young adults on an assortment of topics some with spiritual undertones to them. Andrew has published nine books in total, the latest being the above book.
To say Andrew has led a mundane life would be a serious understatement, in fact a total miscalculation, he was blue Flame to his father’s White Flame in the Indian Guides, he played snare drum for five years reaching 8th grade, describes himself as ‘Goofy-Foot’ while skateboarding. He played the frenetic game of Lacrosse for close to four years. His tastes in music are as diverse as his life- Reggae, Gospel, Punk, Contemporary Christian, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Classical and New Age. Maybe I should have simply said he loves all types of music with a few exceptions. His first concert was Kiss in 1978. One of the most pivotal points in his life which had a lasting profound effect on him was the day in 1986 when he was struck by a car while out jogging. Andrew often recalls that day and deems himself lucky to have survived.
Andrew has a degree from Frostburg State University and since that date in 1989 has gone on to do a plethora of jobs mainly around the food services industry from Chef to Director of Food Services in elderly healthcare, to General Manager of a local Bakery/ Coffee House as well as branching out into IT service albeit the non-technical side. He was let go from being Director of Food Services in the field of Educational Services, for being as he so delicately puts it, “being too nice.”
So, as you can see my statement of describing Andrew’s life ‘as mundane’ being ‘a serious understatement,’ is on the mark. One asks the question how he ever found time to write.
I asked Andrew for a quirky story, and this is what he wrote:
“A Fish”
We were at a restaurant in Washington D.C., celebrating my birthday. On our way out…in the parking lot, I spotted a huge fish flopping between two cars. I immediately thought to save the fish. I walked over, picked up the fish with a birthday envelope, and headed for the river.
I was surprised that the fish did not flop around once I picked him up. I made it to the edge of the dock and dropped the fish into the water. I turned around and everything went in slow motion.
I saw a huge guy walking towards me with a fishing rod. On it was a fish not even half the size. I realised what I had done. He had placed the fish between the two cars while he caught more,” dinner.”
“I am so sorry!” I said to him. He glared at me, and I quickly walked away.
Lesson learnt. Now I look back on it and laugh. I’ve even added that tale to one of my stories.

The Book
A Dandelion was inspired by the Author’s daughter Ashli who was three at the time, she asked her father for a bedtime story, Andrew agreed but the condition was she had to come up with the title. “A Dandelion,” she replied and a ‘new cre8tive universe’ as Andrew states was commenced.
The book, which is ideally aimed at, I would say 4-7-year-olds depending on their reading ability is an endearing story about Sally Budfield an enchanting little Dandelion full of hope and determination. A flower party has been organised for all the flowers and a list of all those who would be invited would be posted at the Town Hall. Only those flowers on the list could attend the grand party, but at the bottom of the list was a note, ‘NO DANDELIONS ALLOWED.’ Sally ingeniously comes up with a cunning plan to get herself into the party albeit through the backdoor- with a little coloured powder and a touch of inventiveness- she’s in. But the party doesn’t go to plan and those flowers that saw themselves as far superior to a humble dandelion weed soon rely on Sally and other mere dandelions,
Habiba Zaman says, the more aware you are of your fears, perceptions, desires, and strengths the easier it is to make your life more successful. She here to talk about her book, Beautifully Bare: Undeniably You which is devoted to people who are trying to understand who they are, why they are the way they are and think the way they do.

Over two millennia ago, in troubled times not unlike our own, a mysterious figure, distinguished by a pheasant feather in his cap, emerged with poetic visions of a future world of peace and justice. Like Laozi, Pheasant Cap (Héguanzî) understood the underlying unity in things and the power of Dao to make things happen.
Facing the threat of conquest by the westerly state of Qin, he looked to a messiah-like figure, the Ninth Augustan, to inaugurate a new era according to the mandate of the god Grand Unity.
Here for the first time, we get an insider’s view of early Daoism as it influenced philosophy, its ideas of an interlinked cosmos, cyclical time, and the perceived role of the northern Dipper (Plough) constellation.
A rediscovered early Daoist cosmic philosophy, and the messianic Nine Augustans (Jiu-Huang) with their stars in the Northern Dipper, are in this epic bilingual translation.
About Marnix Wells: Marnix Wells acquired an early interest in all aspects of Chinese culture and religion. He obtained a first degree in Chinese from Oxford (1967), later PhD from London (2001, School of Oriental and African Studies). In the meantime, he worked as shipping manager in the Far East where he acquired first-hand knowledge of the people and their heritage. He has given numerous lectures and authored several papers and books. The present volume is the first to show both Chinese original and English translation side by side. Get your copy of Héguanzî, the Dao of Unity: Linking Politics, Philosophy and Religion in Ancient China on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Carol Alongi
“Succession planning is twofold. One is an emotional one – the desire to leave a legacy – and one is a financial one.”

Check Out These Highlights:
Being in business for over 20 years I am busy running my business and sometimes we business owners forget that our lengthy to-do list will never be completed!
As I am aging, I have thought about succession planning to either sell my business in the next decade or have my kids choose to take it over. Either way, I need to infrastructurally as well as organizationally have a plan that allows me the opportunity to step aside and cash out.

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick, author of A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided insights to Support Global Awakening, a new book in the trilogy which shares through messages and stories from Spirit that our challenges are not economic political or societal but a disconnect from our inner soul wisdom and true being. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Dr. Allen Buchanan author of Our Moral Fate Evolution & Our Escape From Tribalism a provocative and probing argument showing how human beings can for the first time in history take charge of their moral fate.
Dr. Buchanan asks the question, “Is Tribalism the political and cultural divisions between “Us and Them” an inherent part of our basic moral psychology?
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware, Sheryl and her guests share intimate and life challenging ideas in the search for knowing who we are as both spiritual entities, or beings having a physical life, and how to merge this duality so we can evolve and find the best within and transcend fears and limitations as we learn more about the human condition helping to create a prosperous healthy and happy life experience.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within, Dr. Buchanan shows us how many scientists link tribalism and morality arguing that the evolved moral mind is tribalistic. Any escape from tribalism according to this thinking would be partial and fragile, because it goes against the grain of our nature. Allen Buchanan offers a counterargument: the moral mind is highly flexible, capable of both tribalism and deeply inclusive moralities depending on the social environment in which the moral mind works.
In defining tribalism and why some say we can’t be morally tribalistic by nature but quite recently there has been a remarkable shift from tribalism to inclusiveness which changes the whole dynamics of the process.
Dr. Buchanan relates in the book that Tribalism is the term often used to characterize the extreme political polarization manifested every day in the United States and many other countries. In fact, to characterize tribalism as merely political would be an understatement. It is something much more comprehensive, reaching much deeper into our lives, as the phrase “culture wars” suggests. We see tribalism on the Left and tribalism on the Right—but not in the middle, because it’s the nature of tribalism to create an unbridgeable, uninhabitable chasm between Us and Them The tribalistic mentality sees things in black and white, good and evil—as a no-holds-barred, zero-sum conflict between Us and Them, for the highest stakes. Tribalism transforms disagreement into mutual hatred, mild condescension into utter contempt.
Tribalism clumps together very different individuals and issues. It’s the ultimate take-it-or-leave-it package deal. We are all well informed and sincerely motivated; They are all confused or malicious or both. For example…. If you’re for gun control, you’re also for “socialism” and the mass murder of prebirth human beings. If liberals know you’re a gun owner, that’s enough; the fact that you understand and applaud that the Second Amendment is compatible with substantial regulation of firearm ownership is never allowed to surface, because you have already been branded as a benighted conservative—one of those individuals who cling desperately to their guns and religion, as President Obama put it.
Another example…. If a conservative hears you say you think abortion should be legal, that’s all he’ll hear. He won’t hear what you say immediately after that: that you think abortion is not like trimming a fingernail or removing an appendix and that we should all hope that someday abortions become a thing of the past. That part will be drowned out because the first thing you said was enough to signal that you are one of “Them.”
When tribalism takes over, it’s not the content of speech that matters; it’s the signaling function: what is said signals membership ...

Intimacy makes me think of old math classes about sets. Sex is often a part of intimacy, but intimacy does not always include sex. This may be confusing to many who think they are one and the same. The desire for intimacy—really being known by another person—is why many of us got married. So why is it often so problematic? Dr. Catherine Aponte, clinical psychologist and the author of A Marriage of Equals: How to Achieve Balance in a Committed Relationship, defines intimacy and reveals how you can create it in your marriage.
If you yearn for intimacy Lesli can help. Also, please send her your comments and suggestions and share the show on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Featured on this episode of Seasons of Seasons of Spirituality is Delores J. Porter, author of "God Doesn't Do Evil That Good May Come: The Truth About God".
After supporting family on their journey of loss, and after a national tragedy, Delores was moved to write this book in defense of God. Delores says we are so quick to blame God for the terrible things that happen in our lives. When the truth is when bad things happen, God weeps, God suffers, with us.
Listen in as Delores shares her story with one of our hosts, Juliet Dorris-Williams, author of Leaving Church, Finding Faith.

The Crone talks about how her recent hospitalization has forced her to make some changes in many of the daily practices she has been doing for quite a while due to health restrictions. Although she has been somewhat resentful about this, discovering or connecting with the changes in the appearance of the Moon on a nightly basis for just a few minutes has eased a bit of her frustration and allowed her to feel more connected to her Internal Spark of the Divine and the magick around her. The point of this is we all can benefit from taking a look at what our daily practices are right now to see if they still are fulfilling the purpose we started doing them for in the first place, maybe considering some new things or adapting what we are doing to make sure we are getting what we need.
This is an encore episode of a previously popular episode. What is synchronicity and how does it show up in our lives? This week my guest is Etan Ilfeld, the creator of The Synchronicity Oracle Deck. Etan and I have a lively & fun discussion about really understanding what synchronicity is and how we can use it to our advantage to tap into our unconscious mind. We touch on why it can be so hard for us to tune in and what gets in the way of us hearing our inner most desires.
Etan and I also talk about how to use synchronicity and symbols in our own lives to guide us, the right and better way to ask questions of the oracle and we even touch on physics and time travel! We had a lot of fun with this episode and Etan even does a live reading for me which really demonstrates the power of using the Synchronicity Oracle deck to tell a story. If you’ve ever worked with or been interested in oracle decks (or even if you haven’t) you will love this episode! Watch the episode with Etan here:

This life is a journey, and God has a plan with an ultimate destination. If this is true, what is the journey, and how do we find the path to God's plan? God gives us this answer in the Bible.
This mindfulness practice will teach us to aim and direct our thoughts and actions into the present. The beauty of any language is the gift of linking our past thoughts and experiences to build connections into the future to connect growth to future generations. This process is essential for the growth and advancement of culture. On the other hand, the business of multitasking has a tendency to move us away from valuing the present. So join me as I guide you to mindfully touch down into the "now." Enjoy refreshing your coping skills and sharpening your psychological flexibility.

This week in the Art of Creating Beauty Through Your Conversations, Gina shares her passion for the lost art of conversation & how our modern lifestyle is removing us from our TRUE nature.
Electronic devices are wreaking havoc on our ability to socialize & communicate.
Today, conversations have been whittled down to quick texts, comprised of emojis and acronyms. Sure, it might be easier and colorful … BUT this form of communicating is removing us from our true nature.
You see humans are social creatures. We’ve known this for centuries.
Communication IS truly becoming a LOST ART. And this can lead us down a path of feeling alone.
We are NOT meant to feel alone. This goes against our nature.
Getting to know others and allowing them to know us on a deeper level is profound.
It makes us feel connected. It makes us feel heard. It makes us feel seen. And we feel safe.
Listen in as she shares her magical Marrakesh mint tea experience.
She’ll share 5 positive & healthy benefits that’ll have you saying, “yes” to going retro with your next convo.
And learn how to easily create beauty in your conversations, starting today.
So, stop texting! Delight in a real time (and in-person) experience. And let the beauty unfold and inspire you.

Check Out These Highlights:
I am fascinated with the number of people who seem to work from a reaction versus a proactive perspective when it comes to business. I also see how some leaders are feeling stuck with all the shifts over the past 2 plus years.
My personal style is to move fast, move forward, and approach my business from that proactive vantage point. My challenge is sometimes I move too fast!
Don’t get me wrong, I understand slowing down to be in the present and reacting to the situation as it unfolds is important too.
So how do we find the balance of moving forward with what is the reality of business today versus reacting to the situations as they unfold?
Can we become better leaders by making this slight shift in perspective and approach? It’s all a balancing act, isn’t it?

Pheasant Cap Master, Grand Unityand the Nine Augustans,Linking Politics and PhilosophyToReligionInAncient China
The Author
Dr Marnix Wells is a British Author living in Croydon a large town in South London in the UK. His fascination with ancient Chinese History, art, culture and religion goes right back to his childhood days influenced by a book his mother read. He obtained his first degree in Chinese from Oxford University in 1967 and later acquired a PhD in Oriental and African studies from London University in 2001. Dr Marnix is also responsible for writing’ The Pheasant Cap Master and the End of History: Linking religion and philosophy in Early China.
I asked Dr Marnix for a quirky story about himself, and this is what he said.” A boy of pugnacious disposition, his mother by reading aloud, sparked interest in history, and his father, through rabbit-skinning and shooting, in nature. At boarding school, he won prizes for butterfly, wild-moth and wildflower collections from a Suffolk landscape now sadly depleted. In holidays, archaeology inspired him to help the county museum, washing excavated potsherds and joining a week’s dig on a turret of Hadrian’s wall. His mother’s teenage copy of The Importance of Living by Lin Yutang fuelled a growing fascination with Chinese art, leading to a first degree from Oxford University, a career in Far Eastern container shipping and a PhD from London School of Oriental and African Studies.”
This amazing book which is written for lovers of world history and religion has been dedicated to the author’s late Parents Edward Preston ‘Hawkeye Bill’ and Mary Dorothea: daughter Sarah, helper and beloved soul-mate Joyce, honorary proof-readers Angus Macindoe and Lilian Chia, my teachers at Oxford University’s Oriental Institute , 1964-1967: Professor David Hawkes, lecturers Raymond Dawson, Glen Dudbridge, then PhD candidate Wong Siu-Kit, and at London University School of Oriental and African Studies, 1993-2001 my PhD supervisor Paul Thompson.
Dr Marnix also acknowledges a debt of gratitude to all pioneers of Heguanzi studies, in particular professors Angus.C. Graham (1919-1991), Huang Huaixin in China, Carine Defoort in Belgium and Jean Levi in France. Last buy not least, to my IT guru Sikander Qasemi.
The Book
Prologue
This is the tale of a nation, Zhao (Shanxi), on the eve of destruction. It reflects the last stand of one of six independent kingdoms against imperial Qin, with a novel vision of an egalitarian world order. Yet we also see here the emergent blueprint of a centralised bureaucracy under the messianic ruler, shortly to be implemented by Qin in the draconian person of its ‘First Augustan Emperor,’ Qin Shihuangdi.
Like Rome’s Emperor Augustus and China’s subsequent emperors, be adopted celestial status as if an astral incarnation. This work, which fuses ideas of Lao Zi’s ‘Way’ with ‘Law’ Dao with Fa, is ascribed to Heguan Zi the’ Pheasant Cap Master,’ the enigmatic figure who features in its dialogues. Its antiquity has been authenticated by parallels with “Yellow Emperor’ scrolls only recently recovered from a 168 BC tomb of the early Han dynasty.
Uniquely the work speaks frankly of contemporary events together with the prophecies of a messiah-like figure, an ‘Augustan’ who will unite the world. A double ninefold schema, with a messianic revelation of nine Augustans and Grand Unity, centered on three core chapters (ix-xi), encapsulates the book’s plan.
The First half, (i-ix) outlines hope for a new order in the face of defeat by Qin with revelation of a divine plan’ followed in (x), by an inter gods dialogue between Grand Unity and Grand Augustan; ending in the second half, (xii-xix), with ideas on armed struggle and tactics to save the day.

The Author
Kiki Fuerte is an author based in London, but she was born and raised in Guadeloupe, a place she calls her paradise and of course the TV program ‘Death in Paradise,’ is filmed. Kiki studied English and American literature at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris where she completed her master’s degree. She also went on to study modern languages at Oxford University where she graduated as a modern language teacher of French and Spanish. Life is certainly busy for Kiki, wife, mother, high school teacher, senior leader and writing are at the core of this hectic lifestyle.
Language comes easy to Kiki something that stems right back to her native French and Creole roots. Like her native tongue Kiki’s passion for everything books go back to her childhood in the Caribbean to the present day. For Kiki writing about romance and love is what she does best, but her romance novels have got to bound up with suspense, adventure and sinister twists.
I asked Kiki dose she have any quirky skits to relate to us, an unforgettable memorial event so to speak, all I can say is don’t mention bulls and mad cows. The story goes back to when she was twelve in Guadeloupe when she was sent by her grandmother to visit her great aunt Martha in the countryside. An afternoon’s venture of scrumping not for apples but quenettes (type of cherry) with her cousin Joseph was in order, however the local black bull and his herd of cows had other ideas about two wayward kids cavorting around the hedges of their fields in search of quenettes and duly dispatched them sending them hither and thither up trees and into bushes. Hasten to add not many quenettes were picked for great aunt Martha’s supposed fruit pie that day. Since that day Kiki like myself is very wary of crossing a field of cows with a horned black bull in.
I wonder what Kiki’s children Severine and Sébastien make of their mother’s scrumping escapade?

The Books
Book One- Never Saw You Coming
Beatrice struggles with her relationship with Edward. What started like a perfect love story turned out to be a living nightmare, where none of the protagonists anticipated the river of tragedies they were swept into.
Originating from Martinique, in the French Caribbean, Beatrice was this well-balanced teacher with overwhelming optimism and naivety, making her a very likeable young woman. She moved from her Martinique upbringing to study in France, at the Sorbonne in Paris, which led her to train in Cambridge to become a teacher. Beatrice was full of hope and dreams when she started teaching teenagers in Surrey. She loved her new job. Love came knocking at her door in the shape of Edward, another teacher. He charmed her with his vibrant intellect and energy. They fell in love.
Edward courted her slowly but smoothly, answering her deepest romantic dreams. Once living under the same roof, Edward’s true colours showed to be very dark and Beatrice became caught between her love for this man who could be so perfect, and her fear of this man who could be so hideous.
Edward seemingly manipulated Beatrice, making it impossible for her to truly rebel and leave him. She never saw him coming with all his talented and deceiving eloquence. When challenged or questioned, he repeatedly lost his temper and verbally abused her, but also showed the most forgiving nature filled with remorse.
Their life together floated from love and tenderness to hatred and aggression. A life of self-destruction, with hidden bursts of romance, such was Edward and Beatrice’s life. Entangled in a myriad of shocks and never-ending incidents.
From the first touch with evil when Beatrice discovered the affair that Edward had with his 17-year-old student, to the reconciliation attempts, the suicide attempt, the forgiveness and the lost illusions, they fell into a spiral of traumatic events which led them both being arrested and locked int...

Don Best’s Rivers Wild Series is a two-part novel set in the Brazilian Amazon. To really appreciate the story and enjoy the characters to the full, you need to read both books.
The first book, ‘The Gravedigger’s Dream,’ sets the scene for the second book, ‘The Third Promise,’ wherein the outcomes are cleverly revealed but not necessarily how you’d think or perhaps wish. Like in any well thought out novel, the plot is complex and intriguing.
But first I want to give you a brief insight into the author himself, for then you’ll start to see why he placed the storyline where he did and why the chain of events unfold as they do.
Don and his wife, Elizabeth, have dedicated a lot of time to Christian missionary work, especially in Latin America, and Brazil in particular. They are a creative team in everything they do, including the writing of the Rivers Wild Series. While Don was the predominant writer, Elizabeth has played a significant part in its creation. They met in Rio de Janeiro working as a journalist-photographer team and ended up travelling the world together. They have two sons, Paul and Jonathan, who now have their own families. Don and Betty currently live near Charleston, South Carolina in the USA.
From New England to the rainforests of Brazil, Don Best has worked as an award-winning journalist. Don has published hundreds of newspaper and magazine stories. He’s the author of several nonfiction books, including a companion book to the popular PBS television show ‘This Old House.’ In 2009 he published ‘Moonlight on the Amazon,’ a collection of true stories, essays, humour and beautiful full-colour photography drawing on the many years he lived in the Brazilian Amazon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKfDH5HOVBk
Don’s love affair with Latin America goes back to 1973, when he joined the Peace Corps, spending two years in Paraguay. Living the life of an expatriate writer, he worked as a journalist for two years in Rio and later 10 years in the Brazilian Amazon.
Having spent more than 15 years in Latin America, he has a lot of quirky, cross-cultural stories to tell. He recalls that twice he got lost in the Amazon rainforest; on the first occasion, he was leading a small team of people to a waterfall when he became disorientated, no doubt very easy to do in a dense rainforest, and something I experienced myself in Peru. The second time he got careless and violated a golden rule: NEVER GO WALKING ALONE. Bear in mind that the Amazon rainforest is an enormous wilderness with no mobile phone access outside of a few large towns and cities. Walking alone, he realized that he was lost. With nightfall looming and a jungle full of lethal creatures, including jaguars and anacondas, his predicament was far from good.
Don’s love for travel and outdoor pursuits stem from his father’s life and ideology, that young people should get out into the world and explore the wild.
Don’s long career as a professional writer has been fuelled by his insatiable curiosity, which has led him into some extraordinary situations, brought a menagerie of interesting characters onto his path, and given him some great, true-to-life stories to write. Hence, ‘The River Wild Series.’

Book One
The Gravedigger’s Dream.
This first novel is set in a remote, poverty-stricken village (Jacaré) in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil circa early 1970s. The village is on the Isle of Fair Winds, has no electricity, no running water apart from the river, no roads, no school and very little else. Picture a collection of wattle and daub houses with thatch roofs clustered around a small church, a rustic marketplace, a general store owned by the local despot, and a soccer field (because no matter how poor the place, Brazilians must have a soccer field.

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from spirit to show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal, but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Today we welcome Turiya, author of Unreasonable Joy Awakening through Trikaya Buddhism which shares the advanced Tantric teachings and puts them into an American form of Buddhism which can be incorporated in everyday life for maximum and effective ways to heal hope and love with greater intensity.
Turiya As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware my guests and I share intimate stories of discovering more about themselves where we come from who we are and how to merge the duality of life our physical and spiritual realities so we may learn to master our emotions and self-investigate to unveil the many talents and gifts we can share with the world. Learning intention and thoughts are powerful tools to create and we can refine our perceptions and live a more productive, positive and healthy life.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Turiya will share with us how her failing health at the age of twenty eight and many issues creating what some call the night of the soul allowed her to embark on the adventure of the mind. She will share techniques for gaining control of your daily life activities in more gratifying and functional ways. Turiya shares her fascinating and inspirational journey and finding techniques for gaining control of time, life and mind by releasing the mental habits that create suffering.
When Turiya is asked to think back to childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to them or others the lifestyle or interests they would embrace as an adult she immediately remembers an incidence in third grade where she had a problem with a girl and answered her question and seeing the surprise in the girls eyes realized the girl was not psychic or intuitive like her. Before that incident Turiya thought everyone was like her but that surely was not the case. Sheryl is amused and tells Turiya that when she was about the same age she called out an answer to a question and the teacher responded, “Sheryl how can you know the question when I didn’t ask it yet. Sheryl was clearly upset by her teacher being unhappy with her but did not put together the fact that she was always all her life, following the thoughts or good suggestions that came into her head but didn’t figure out it was coming from a higher Universal Source of intelligence and Spirit that was guiding her. She always followed most of the ideas and things usually worked out well for her. Sheryl didn’t begin her serious healing and mediumship work until 25 years ago. for it was later in her life that she put all the clues together and feelings that embedded in her heart and soul knowing definitively that each individual has a life plan or destiny that will guide them to live the life they chose long before embarking on life in this time and place.
Turiya tells us something about the time when her body failed her and rather than succumb to inaction and suffering chose to find ways to conquer the illness and fears of that time. It was at the age of twenty-eight Turiya’s body began to fail her and she became sick and disabled. She lost her lucrative career, many of her friends, and became wracked with constant pain. Instead of wallowing in her misfortune Turiya allowed her pain to take her on an adventure of the mind. Already a practicing Buddhist, Turiya deepened her work, found relief from her pain and over time founded a new school of Buddhism designed for the modern world.
Turiya shares some simple meditation techniques that can be used anywhere at any time to calm, strengthen and refocus the mind. The truth is most people think they don’t have time to meditate. However,
Mikey Morgan is a sixth-level being who had last lived on earth in the 1600s, and who was concerned about the way that things are going on earth, so he took a brief additional earth-lifetime that ended in 2007 at the age of 20 so he could answer our questions through his mother, Carol, in the voice and idioms of a modern American. This is his 18th Seek Reality appearance. Roberta has tested Mikey exhaustively and he is certainly genuine, so he is a regular guest; therefore if you have an afterlife question for Mikey, simply email it to Roberta through the Contact block on robertagrimes.com.
No, men aren’t from Mars and women aren’t from Venus. It just seems that way. I’ve always thought that expecting men and women to live together is a cosmic joke that really isn’t funny. Nowhere is this more apparent than when it comes to sex. Are all men constantly horny? Are women rarely that way? No. But if you don’t understand how desire works for each of you, the joy of sex is a pleasure that can be missed way too often. Marriage coach Jay Dee is here to explain what’s really going on with your libido and the simple way you can get your groove back.
If you’re ready to be more connected in your marriage, Lesli can help. Please share the show with those you care about on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Transformation is such a powerful word to help us create the life we image and desire. Yet, I am not sure I always know which direction to choose, or which avenue of change is the right next step.
I know that I have personally faced disappointment when the change or next step I chose was actually a misstep. Yet I also know that each step, the right one or not, has still led me to where I am now.

Have you ever gotten a great idea for a new program, spent a few months putting together the sales page and recorded professional videos, and gotten a ho-hum response when you launched?
You may have then identified your smallish email list as the problem and set about fixing that, but what if you could successfully launch no matter the size of your list?
What if your likely prospects could tell you exactly the problem, they want you to solve and exactly how to describe your program? That's possible if you take the time to build a list of likely prospects from your existing network, host research calls, and validate your big idea with a pilot program.
Doing so will save you money, time, and effort - and likely lead to some unexpected opportunities.

Join me in developing a mindful action plan that will help us learn the core of who we are and accept with compassion a renewed quality of life. This information will probably take two more sessions. My goal is to share how to develop a mindful action plan to allow us to practice and digest the information we cover. Get a journal and write down your thoughts and feelings as we discuss our first exercise of making a mindfulness action plan. "The Mindfulness Action Plan: Using the MAP to Apply Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Productivity and Compassion for Behavioral Analysts" by Daniel J. Moran and Siri Ming was published on July 28, 2020, when the world was in the midst of the Covid crisis. The authors published this information to help people overcome negative responses to the tragic world crisis. The goal of the mindful action plan (MAP) was initially to assist behavioral analysts in helping clients move towards self-acceptance and self-commitment to move through pandemic situations that would cause further isolation behavior. I want to use the MAP as our mindfulness tool and an extension of our action plan, which we discussed in previous sessions. I want to guide our focus on using the MAP to bring awareness and acceptance of ourselves. This is an excellent tool to help us gain more detail on improving our happiness score. I invite you to be prepared and reflect on who you are. Please get comfortable.
In this episode, the Crone & Sage focus on another concept that forms the basis of many of their beliefs how we see people as a combination of what we call our Sacred Three of Body, Mind, and Spirit. The featured Witchstone Card is the first physical concept card which features the Lightning Bolt. We provide what we call our Clothes Pin Spell for having very different things work together. Finally, this week’s Tip, Trick, or Witchy Hint talks about Developing Awareness of Synchronicities on a daily basis.

This is the week of the 2022 mid-term elections and Doc Holliday has some last minute insights to this historic election. No matter what happens when all the dust settles then history will have been made. We had Biden threatening U.S. citizens that if they voted against the democrats then democracy would be threatened-----the last I heard is that true democracy was allowing the people to decide how the people running our country were doing by their voting. So if our president is making threats to the voters, how is that not threatening democracy? And at the end of the show, Doc gives a special sauce that is being baked into this year's mid-term elections if Americans will get out and vote in record numbers. And if you don't know who candidate Sam Peters is trying to defeat an incumbent Congressman in Nevada, discover who he is and help him out! Doc Holliday has a lot to cover so click on now to hear the last show before the election results!
This week in the Art of Creating Beauty Through Your Resources, Gina shares different ways you can better use your time, money, & energy to bring (even) MORE beauty into your life.
We live in a world that promotes instant gratification. BUT is that really the answer?!
Those things typically don’t have lasting rewards. They often don’t align with our truths or our desires. As quickly as the gratification appeared it disappears. And that’s not gratifying.
If you’ve met Gina before, you know that she strongly believes that beauty is super fuel.
It inspires us to be the finest version of ourselves. It empowers. It encourages us. It’s simply amazing. With that being said, you can see the importance of beauty and how it enriches our lives.
Our time, money, and energy are precious resources. Resources we can make better use of. Resources we can use to create the beautiful life we desire and deserve. Resources that can be used to create an energetic exchange. As we bring (even) MORE beauty into our lives it inspires and energizes us in a way that is priceless.
You’ll be asked the difficult questions like… are you being intentional with your time, your money, and your energy?
Often times a four-letter word L I F E takes over those resources – be it our overscheduled day, things out of our control, or being disconnected from our truest self.
She’ll challenge you to think in a new way... an intentional way. A way in which what you VALUE is the key to your decision-making process. And if that means what was once an indulgence, is now something you truly desire… then you go for it.
Because when you are creating beauty, surrounding yourself in beauty, and living beautifully it will allow you to be the truest self. And when you express your truest self outwardly… you become EXACTLY what you see missing in the world.
And that’s TRULY what you are here to create. An (even) MORE magical world!
Check out her video about it here!

The Author
Cricket Rohman is an American Author who has a voracious appetite for both reading and writing. The reading part stems right back to her primary years in the Wilds of Colorado where she and her brother grew up among the coyotes, bears, cougars and bobcats, as well as the pretty blue columbine flowers native to the Rocky Mountains that dominate vast swathes of America’s west and north westly states. When I saw where cricket came from, I have to say I was extremely jealous, and I can see why she chose to put a lot of her book settings in this beautiful part of the world. Despite her unquenchable thirst for reading, like most authors Cricket didn’t cross over the bridge from reading to writing until the 1980’s, maybe that was a timing issue in her life, for when you look at her life, you’ll see that she’s been an actor, singer, teacher, school principal, educational professor and now an avid writer.
So far Cricket has written 15 books and no doubt many more will follow. Her books are about the great outdoors, dogs, horses, teachers, romance, and mystery thrillers. You have The Fantasy Makers series, The Linsey Lark series, Creative Hearts Sweet Romance section of four books, The Mc Allister series as well as a couple of stan-alone books, Like Christmas in The North Woods and Saving Madeline.
I asked Cricket for a quirky moment in her life, and she replied by saying she had ‘hawk power.’ Hmm…I thought, but apparently that mythological ideology stems from when a large hawk, as Cricket puts it, ‘slammed,’ into her and grabbed the top of her head with its talons. Understandably it knocked her to the ground, but it was her sister-in-law who later that day commented on the state of her blooded hair that she soon realised she needed medical attention. Over the next three years Cricket had an on, off, relation with the local Hawk family. What type of Hawks Cricket was referring too, I’m not sure, but it was a close friend who deemed her to have, ‘hawk power.’
The Books that make up The Fantasy Maker series.
Winter’s Blush
Romance, Intrigue, dogs and horses. Who could ask for more? Winn Wahlberg. She needs to get home for Christmas, but fate intervenes…more than once.
The Fantasy maker strikes an agreement with Clay Washington. All he needs to do is escort a young woman around Denver for five days. After that, he will receive his own fantasy vacation. What’s the catch? He must pretend to be someone he’s not.
Winn a girl who’s never left Yuma, Arizona, is thrilled to visit a big city and experience snow for the first time in her life. But when her escort turns up late, then gets into a fistfight, second thoughts creep in. He harbours a phobia; she hides a secret. Despite their differences, they cannot deny the passion that ignites as their relationship deepens. And they are having the time of their life, dining with a pirate, eating cake backstage with actors, and a lucky dog.
The Fantasy Maker mapped out an amazing week for Winn, but real life altered those plans. Their adventure is soon eclipsed with danger. Is their enemy mother nature or something more sinister.
Clay’s fantasy is equally as exciting.
Autumn’s Ghost
Autumn’s first lie was a whopper! – She’d been a very good daughter for twenty-two years until a spectacular gift from the fantasy maker came her way.
She lied to her wealthy, overprotective parents. She had to. Her boldness came easier than expected but not without some guilt and a nagging concern for bad karma.
During her flight from her home in Florida to New Hampshire, Autumn questioned her own wisdom. She knew nothing about her benefactor, and her parents new nothing about her secret adventure. Where had she found the nerve to take on such a quest?
Still, this October vacation awarded by the fantasy maker could be the perfect activity to prepare her for a graduate program in photography. However, nothing could have prepared her for Ranger,
The Author
Charles McGrail is an American author from Syracuse New York State in the U.S. he sees himself as a shy unassuming guy, who spends his free time fumbling with bagpipes, shortening pencils, spying on wildlife that ventures onto his land. Charles and his wife Melody Jane have as he puts it a sprinkling of grandchildren enough, he reckons for a basketball team. He also has a menagerie of animals to complete the list. As for a profession that pays the bills Charles is a middle management desk jockey for an industrial manufacturer that operates within the laundry trade.
I asked Charles for a quirky skit about himself, and he told me the story about when he was much younger, he often confused recklessness for courage. As such he logged over 10000 miles of hitchhiking around America, before losing track. He did that on and off for neigh on five years. On one such trip he recalls meeting a hobo who claimed he could read train destinations by watching how the train was been assembled for transport, the hobo stated he was a retired yardman. Based on that hypotheses Charles hopped on a freighter in Barstow California and rode it to Amarillo in Texas, he intended to take it all the way to Daytona in Ohio before his stowaway status was discovered and he was duly evicted with a good boot from a fair-sized foot.
Some fable, maybe he should write a book about his free-spirited halcyon days hitchhiking across America.

The Book
Posing for Robin
At the heart of Charles’ book is a collection of what I would describe as free verse poetic short stories, some having a rhyming spirit to them while others are more a short story with a hint of rhyming tones to them. No matter what your views are around what a standard verse composition should look like I think many of you who like really short stories with a deep meaning to them or poems should take a look at Charles’ unique approach and draw your own conclusions.
There are twenty-three free verse stories to this collection, the titles are as follows:

Charles’ book is presently available in Kindle version on his webpage and on Amazon, he’s currently in the process of creating a paperback version.
Thank you, Charles, for giving me the great opportunity of talking to you about yourself and your book. It was fun and I hope we see a lot more of your writing soon. Maybe a book about your hitchhiking ventures across America, ‘McGrail’s Guide to Crossing America Freestyle.’

Facing retirement, Ruth, Trudy and some other baby-boomers are drawn together by a love of music to form a traveling ukulele band. This “feel-good fiction” episode of Newsgram is based on the book Pensioned Off: Baby boomers out to pasture by Sue Dawson.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today’s show is dedicated to anyone born between the years 1946 to 1964. The Baby Boomers. In a recent Forbes article titled Baby Boomers Are Leaving The Workforce To Live Their Best Lives In A Silver Tsunami ‘Great Retirement’ Trendstates that In the third quarter of 2020, nearly 30 million Baby Boomers left the job market and retired. The following year the numbers increased. Now that’s not to say that many of them aren’t coming back. I certainly hope they do. The world can use their wisdom — but whether they left in an attempt to reevaluate their circumstances or were forced into early retirement, there are lots of people out there looking for something to do. Start a business? Travel the sky’s and the world is your oyster as they say when you find yourself, as Sue Dawson likes to put it — Pensioned off.
Sue Dawson - Yea…
She’s the author of a fun new book called Pensioned Off: Baby boomers out to pasture. She calls it a feel-good fiction story about a year in the life of a group of newly-retired baby-boomers looking to fill up their newly found freedom.
Sue Dawson - Right well they’re just, mostly ordinary people living in Auckland New Zealand and gradually the meet each other and form this ukulele band called the Pensioners.
They are drawn together by a love of music to form a traveling ukulele band and it was that line that drew me to the book because you don’t hear that very often. I wonder what it’s like backstage with this group?
Sue Dawson - I wondered if I’d be able to make an interesting story about ukulele players because they’re not like guitar players. Guitar players, you know you can bring in substance abuse and groupie groping, all that sort of thing and make quite an exciting story whereas the ukulele singer is pretty clean but I hope I’ve managed to make it interesting.
Just pulling together these two groups is pretty exciting for me. What do you get when you combine a group of newly-retired ukulele musicians and send them on the road in Auckland? I don’t know but I kind of want to find out.
Sue Dawson - It could be partly Senior Rom-Com, haha there’s a little bit of a romantic thing happening there.
Even more exciting….
Sue Dawson - Cause there’s not really much written about that stage of life. I mean there’s a whole sub-genre of the next stage of sort of shenanigans in nursing homes. There’s quite a few novels written on those sort of things but there’s not much written about the newly-retired so I thought well there’s something and there’s not much written about Ukulele players.
There really isn’t, although there are lots of great Ukulele players out there like ka-ma-ka vi vole -- God rest his soul. His rendition of “Somewhere over the rainbow” is legendary — and it’s a fun instrument for people like Eddie Veder and Taylor Swift to play. Anyway, the group in pensioned off got together with a singular focus.
Sue Dawson - They sort of want to go around nursing homes and sing to old people. They don’t think they’re old.
Haha you’re only as old as you feel, but anyway that is not what ends up happening. They form this ukulele group and it ends up transforming their lives.
Sue Dawson - There’s quite a few characters. At the beginning I didn’t intend on having so many but they just all popped out. So they’ve got their own little lives happening, all their little side streams happening so quite a bit goes on in the book but it is a gentle story. Hopefully people will find it humorous and entertaining. I mean there’s serious things running through there as well. It's not all fun and frolics but um it’s basically a gentle story.
The story is set in Auckland,
Relax your inner light and connect to God. The power is in you. This episode is based on the book, The Cosmic Romance with Existence by Murali Dharan who teaches us how to connect the inner light within us to a higher light - the light of God.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Are you ready to tap into the power of the universe? We can all do it. The power is actually within us. It is called our inner light or consciousness and today we are going to learn how to get close to it.
Do you like to meditate or have you ever done it? It has been said that honest, self-reflection can quiet the mind. Meditation combined with positive actions can remove ignorance and build knowledge. What am I talking about?? A means to an end. In the simplest of terms I’m talking about making life a little bit better today than it was yesterday — unless yesterday could not be improved upon then we’ll work on a repeat for tomorrow. To do that all you need to do is connect to the source.
Murali Dharan - God is not something that is far away. He is among us, within us and he is also influencing our daily lives. So, if we are able to build an intimate relationship with higher powers, universal powers, God; its how we say it but end of the day it’s about ensuring ourselves that if we want to move away from our life challenges, overcome our life challenges, our life suffering and then have a sense of awakening, have a higher sense of self awareness and connect to our higher self you know, enlightenment we should build an intimate relationship with higher power.
Tune in, turn on and drop out man….That is Murali Dharan and not unlike Timothy Leary he is advocating tuning into our higher consciousness but doing it by much more conventional means like meditation. In his book, The Cosmic Romance with Existence: A Personal Guide Book for Spiritual Warriors to Merge Their Light with The Cosmic Light he says when people realize and connect with their conscious divine self, they gain wisdom, clairvoyance and spiritual intelligence and the best way to do that is by building a closer relationship with God — and to do that, we need to get our inner light talking to a higher light.
Murali Dharan - In spirituality there are two lights. One, the consciousness is the light within us and there’s another light, higher light.
Connecting our consciousness or inner light to the higher light - God or the Universe is how we get what we want. There are divine forces within us and around us that we can tap into to grow as human beings and they are there to help us achieve our goals. So how do we tap into them? It can be done in many ways but it helps to know and experience the power of daily meditations.
Murali Dharan - Meditation helps us to overcome compulsive behaviors without putting too much strain onto ourselves.
Did you get that? He says meditation is also good for helping us to overcome compulsive behavior. His book emphasizes the sacred role of meditations in awakening your inner light of consciousness. It offers three guided meditations to help in various ways. For example, we might have self-control. We can stop ourselves from biting our nails, or drinking too many glasses of wine but our mind is still trying to do it. One of the forms of Meditation that could help is called Chakra.
Murali Dharan - Chakra meditation is about connecting to the seven spiritual power points in our body which is actually located in our spine area. So, from the base of our spine to the top of our head there are seven chakras….so in teaching this meditation I teach them how to open these chakras and what we can do to work on these chakra points. How does this chakra meditation help you? O.k. the first thing the chakra meditation is very helpful in self healing, clearing spiritual blockages and helping one to raise their spiritual vibes, frequency and connecting to the higher self.
We are painting with a very broad brush here to give you a flavor...
Who is Eleanor Riley? Today on Newsgram we find out by exploring her memoir. This episode is based on the book, “Rungs On My Ladder” by Eleanor Riley
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Today we ask the question, who is Eleanor Riley?
Eleanor Riley - I was born on the Island Jamaica west indies. I migrated to the United States in 1970. from the time I came to the United State with my experience, which was a little bit different-much different from Jamaica. I said I must say something in a book.
She was born in Peter’s Vale in Westmoreland Jamaica to be exact and things are different there. In her book Rungs On My Ladder, she says in her culture it is a common practice for babies to be registered not by their biological parents but by a neighbor or a distant family member who quite likely were visiting at the time of birth. This is what happened at her birth, :and later she had to correct an error made in the registration of her birth date.
Eleanor Riley - A lot of people may not think that I have what to say but everybody has a book in them so I’ve kind of, I was prepared to write.
…I’ve been saying that for years, I just can’t seem to get around writing my own memoir but Eleanor's life and subsequent books are filled with compelling autobiographical scenes. She calls them rungs.
Eleanor Riley - Each rung is like each step that you take in life. Each day that you live, each hour that you live, you keep going by climbing a ladder and the different experiences that I have while climbing the ladder. Maybe I can see where I came from and I can maybe get a little vision of where I’m going. I'm kind of seeing things ahead of me and seeing things I left behind.
Some of those rungs include getting the strength needed to give birth or managing medications and the eventual loss of a kidney or the time she was called to be the first lady of her church.
Eleanor Riley - I got the title as first lady because my husband is the pastor for the church. I took on the title. It was given to me. I didn’t refuse, I just went along with it as a first lady of the church which comes with a big responsibility. To be the first lady of the church there’s a lot of things I have to set and standards that I have to set and I have to keep those standards. I have to be the example for the other ladies of the church. It doesn’t matter what age they are. I have to be an example and the life that I live you know has to be an example whether in the church or outside of the church.
And, one of those standards is sharing the gospel.
Eleanor Riley - If we lift Jesus up, in exhaling Him, in telling others about Him, because the scriptures also said go into the world and preach the gospel telling everybody about Jesus. If we lift him up that way he will draw others to Him all men, that’s the scripture unto Him. And I always remember that scripture. Lift Jesus up. I’ve heard many times in different sermons that if we lift up Jesus we can’t be too far off. We lift him up, we have to be right there. So I always say let me lift Jesus up because I’m right behind Him. I’m right following Him and if I lift him up I lift myself up and i will lift others up so I love that scripture
Eleanor believes that in every human being there is a void that can only be filled by God and in her book she quotes many scriptures to illustrate that point. Her overall message is one of hope, determination and faith. So as you can see, it’s more than just a memoir. She does a nice job of weaving a tapestry of stories from her life, the ups and downs, and the scriptures that help add to the stories, they all intermingle to create the experiences she shares in the book. In the end she says it was worth it.
Eleanor Riley - The many things that I have seen, the many experiences that I’ve had, you know sometimes I feel like it’s worth going any further. Sometimes I feel like I could throw in the towel,
Let’s seed this idea in the consciousness of Planet Earth. This episode is based on the book aliengg7.co.uk The First Chapters: A Philosophers Dream 114 by David Keith Greenaway
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Human beings are flawed, it’s our nature. We screw up but we are evolving. At least I like to think so. However, there are times when I look back on the things that have happened in history and I want to say thank God we don’t do that anymore, but then I look at the things we still do — and wonder when we will ever learn.
Here’s a great example. We used to buy and sell people in an open marketplace. It was called slavery and it has been abolished. That's a good thing. Some would say we still sell people. It’s just called sex trafficking and there are those who would say we still own people just in more clever ways. They would be right.
How about this; We used to burn people at the stake who were accused of witchcraft. We don't do that anymore. I could do this all day. Like I said we are flawed but we are improving and we have a long way to go. War for example — that is a big one. We’ve done it throughout history and we keep doing it even when we know there is a better way. Mass shootings have gone from infrequent to frequent and we can’t find a way to stop them. We rape, murder and torture each other in the name of religion. I’ve never understood that one.
All that being said I do believe it’s a better world in many ways than it used to be but it’s far from a utopia. I believe it is the best time in human history to be alive but we still do things that make it absolutely miserable and it begs the question when will we learn.
David Greenaway - If we all get together we can stop hunger and poverty and that sort of thing. We can stop war.
David Keith Greenaway is a man with big ideas. He is more passionate than I am about trying to make this world a better place. He wants to help advance our society and he’s set out to make a difference.
David Greenaway - The whole underlying means of my works are to try and bring the earth to a utopian form of nature in ourselves rather than the conflict and is attrition the right word?
Sure attrition is a good word. He says there needs to be a fundamental shift in our way of thinking and he’s come up with an example that might be hard for you to visualize at first but hear him out because drastic shifts in thinking sometimes require us to use our imagination.
David Greenaway - This might sound a little bit quirky or a little bit daft but it is the truth because on the other side, some people call it heaven it’s like on the other side I would say. On the other side everything is peaceful. People get on. People learn things and people grow better. So it’s a case of seaming that side onto the side we live on. and it's a case of taking back the reins in this society that we live on this earth for each and every individual and then when we do that maybe, hopefully we can get one with each other better which is the way things are on the other side.
In 1969 John Lennon said, “Give Peace a Chance” and we are still saying it. At some point we do need to listen. David wants to help bring heaven to earth and he’s written a book about how to do it. Now the book title requires some explanation. It’s called aliengg7.co.uk The First Chapters: A Philosophers Dream 114.
David Greenaway - I decided to put the title of the website on the book so that people would check out the website first if they wanted to read some of my writing.
Let’s break it down. The first part of the title is aliengg7.co.ukand when you go there you will immediately see the words, “join the campaign against living miserably”. As far as the rest of the tile is concerned….
David Greenaway - The first chapter is because it’s the transcript of the first part of the website and A Philosophers Dream is what I imagine my idea to be. I gave my book to a local person that lives near...

Foodie friends, what are your favorite ingredients to have in your kitchen?
Welcome to “Healing From Within” with your host Sheryl Glick author of the newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits Spiritual Guided insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnection form our true being or soul wisdom. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Deborah Gaal, author of Synchronicities on the Avenue of the Saints, a fictional tale of a woman told by a shaman to write a story to please the ancestors…a story of the indigenous world and modernity coming together to heal people, the earth or a story of bad medicine and good medicine.Sheryl shares with Deborah that like with many of her very gifted authors, she usually has coincidences or synchronicity with them. Over 25 years ago Sheryl was told like the protagonist in your story that she would write 3 books and while she said at that time, “I don’t think so,” before too long she was journaling all the metaphysical mystical happenings and has just completed the third book in the trilogy.As listeners well know Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories trying to illuminate a clearer understanding of our dual nature as spiritual beings having a physical life and also our growing awareness that we are more than our physical bodies connected by energy to every living being. In that knowledge lies the key to allowing, accepting, surrendering all fear, trauma, suffering so we may find peace, happiness and ways to use our connection to Spirit, bringing Heaven to Earth and life to life.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Deborah Gaal shares with us through a fictional work certain personal events in her own life that have led to remarkable, miraculous healings. We will discover the theme of her novel or the coming together of modern and indigenous beliefs as a way to cure what ails us. Right now we all know we can use more than a little help. Of course, in all great stories there is a plot populated with heroes and villains. Deborah shares her imaginative but very wise rendering of how Spirit is guiding many intuitives to explore the wisdom of Spirit to improve the quality of life in these very challenging days of transformation.Sheryl always loves to ask her guests to think back to their childhood and remember a person place or event which may have signaled to them or others around them the life and livelihood they would embrace as an adult, for she feels we are born with our soul’s intentions and goals within us and the life journey reflects those needs and desires as we evolve and discover more about who we are and what life is really all about. Deborah shares with us that she was involved in performing and acting, and her mother encouraged her to develop a love for creativity and movement. Sheryl tells Deborah they share another humorous synchronicity, for Sheryl’s daughter Stacy was a successful, professional child actress for 10 years in theatre, film, a soap opera, commercials and all aspects of that industry.Deborah goes on to tell us the theme of her novel and about the main characters in the book.Sally Friedman runs a pharmaceutical company and used her company’s resources, along with the help of a psychiatrist, to develop a drug to manage her son Noah’s bipolar disorder. Noah, a physicist working to prove the theory that the fifth dimension is awareness, has been on the drug for fourteen years when the story begins and through his childhood journalist friend, meets a shaman who foresees the drug has deadly consequences. Meanwhile, Noah’s dying great grandmother tells him about a witch from the shtetl in Russia in 1918, who has cursed the family because they stole from her rather than following through on a promise after she helped them escape from the pogroms where they were killing Jewish people. Guided by the shaman, Noah must right his family’s wrong, stop a pharmaceutical kingpin from raiding the family business,

I love speaking about sales and communicating effectively with our prospects and clients.
Of course, there is another side to sales which is sales support. Often that support comes through back-office staff and call center folks.
I believe we really do need a team of people to be able to stay on top of all the new technology, real client engagement, and providing deliverables as promised.
So how do we build behind-the-scenes support? Glad you asked!

What a great quote. It takes guts to find joy in the little mundane things in life!
I know I feel like I run from one thing to the next every day, and even on the weekend. Lately, I have been asking myself, “Why do I have so much going on all the time?”
During my entire career and business, I have always been a doer. As I age, I am realizing that each moment in life is precious.
Yet, I find myself at the end of the day noticing that I’m not pausing enough during the day to appreciate a client call, an email with a joke, or time to run and grab a bit to eat. Why do I do this to myself? Perhaps you may ask yourself the same question.

According to the World Health Organization, quality of life indicators (QOL) are according to one's perception of an individual's culture, values system, goals, expectations, wealth, environment, leisure, social well-being, religious beliefs, safety, security, and freedom. We can use the QOL indicators as a structure to develop an action plan to improve our quality of life within our sphere of influence. Start with a self-assessment of evaluation to find areas to improve. A typical assessment tool is a "pain scale." Most people are familiar with the pain scale because during a health examination, one question asked is, "Are you experiencing pain? How would you rank the pain on a scale of zero to ten? Ten means the pain is intense, and zero means there is no pain. We can adapt the pain scale to assess and rank our level of quality of life. If one of the indicators reveals a high level of improvement, we can draft the initial plan of action to improve. As we develop our action plan and identify our improvement goals, we want to take steps toward improvement from a realistic perspective. Make goals realistic and achievable. Thereby making steps towards change small and making reasons to celebrate the victories at the achievement of each victory. Include what to do in the action plan in case of perceived failure or interruptions. This part of the action plan can be called the "Backup plan." To be honest with ourselves, we must recognize that some things in our quality of life may not directly influence that element yet. We may need to improve in other areas of our QOL before improving on sites outside our current reach. Consider including a mindfulness practice as part of your improvement plan. Build a new habit to develop a new you.
Jesus was born over 2,000 years ago. He died on the cross, was resurrected, and physically rose into heaven before 500 witnesses. Who is Jesus, why did He come, and what is He doing to complete His plan?
Vulnerability is the key to intimacy. So why, if it is so important, is it such a struggle for most of us to open up. Especially to those most important to us. Being open and truly honest puts you at risk for rejection. So you hide behind what is safe but also wonder what it would be like to be really seen and loved for who you are. The definition of unconditional love. What if there was a way to be vulnerable not based in fear? Certified sex therapist Dr. Elliot Kronenfeld explains this other type of vulnerability and how you can develop it.

The Author
Denelda Bendsen lives in a small community town close to Victoria, the capital of Vancouver Island in Canada. The views from her house looking out across the Salish Sea to the Olympic National Park in Washington State in the USA are simply stunning. The wildlife around her home is amazing. Whales can be seen in the waters and the rugged unspoilt wilderness is home to grizzly bears, wolves and other wildlife creatures.
Denelda holds a master’s degree in Administration. Teaching and coaching both in and out of the classroom and on the sports fields have been at the very heart of Denelda’s life. When you look at the outstanding accomplishments in basketball and other sports, she leads by example. Denelda competed at the national Olympic team level for Canada. She was Victoria Female Athlete of the Year in 1967 and the first woman basketball player included into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame. Her Athletic career spans six decades and she’s featured in the Netflix Documentary, ‘Age of Champions.’
I asked Denelda to give me a quirky skit of herself. This is what she said. “Shy as a child, I grew up in a subsistence farm, married young, taught high school maths, and won athletic awards. My multiple personalities collaboratively produce time-travel romance novels. One’s personality works tirelessly, one is funny and sarcastic, one is sensitive and creative. For romance scenes, I call on my sexy, fun-loving self. I excel at puzzles. I’m okay at dancing, suck at learning other languages, and spent three years failing at piano. I love family, writing and Crème brûlée, but not so much herring, negative people or bocci ball.”
Like her software engineer, Danish husband Poul, Denelda has long held a passion for writing—she writes time-travel romance novels. Her first trilogy, Timeless Trilogy, was published in 2020: Book one—Young-In the Age of Champions, Book two—Younger- In the Age of Covid, and Book three—Youngest-In the Age of Dreams. However, for this podcast interview, we’re going to concentrate on her latest Trilogy, ‘Kindred Chronicles.’ We’ll focus on Book one—Kindred Spirits and Book two—Kindred Sisters. Denelda is currently working on the third book of the series Kindred Web, which is scheduled for release in January 2023. So, let’s have a look at her Kindred Chronicles series.
I wonder what her three children and grandchildren think of her books.

The Books.
Kindred Spirits – Book one in Kindred Chronicles series.
Angela Penner, a mixed-race misfit, suspects her parents lie to her. Obsessed with finding the truth, she discovers inherited abilities to travel through time and space. She must overcome her shyness and physical weaknesses and risk altering the timeline to rescue ancestors from certain death. Love spanning generations threatens her dynasty.
Kindred Spirits connects Angela’s life in Des Moines, Iowa, USA, in the late 1970’s back to her great-great-grandmother Kristen who was born in Denmark in 1845. Some women in their family line have a gift, a gift to travel back and forth in time, both as spirits and physical beings. If they travel in spiritual form, only the gifted women can see them. Others can only see moving objects. But, if they arrive at their time destinations in a physical format, then all can see them not just sense their presence.
The prologue that mentions Marta Jensdatter from Oster Gronning, Denmark, circa 1722, is based on historical records of an actual witch-burning which took place in that year and place. It’s an example of foremothers who are rescued from perilous deaths.
The first chapter starts with Kirsten’s epic journey from Denmark to Salt Lake City in Utah with Mormon pioneers. Adhering to the polygamist life the Mormons follow is not for her. She’s miserable and, through her wedding ring which Angela has inherited, she stumbles upon her great-great-granddaughter,
Imagine your brothers, cousins or local boys in embarrassing situations. This edition of Newsgram is based on the book Not for the Boys: Preteen Edition by Pamela Lavan
Welcome to the first ever, pre-teen ladies only edition of Newsgram.
That’s right, today we are going to boldly go where we've never gone before. We’re going to a place where girls have all the power and they know how to use it. Our guide is Pamela Lavan.
Pamela Lavan (P-A-M-E-L-A) PAMELA LAVAN,
As you can see this is no HAL 9000. Our guide on this journey is a cheeky A.I. voice named Pamela and her special skill is instructing young girls how to control the boys in their life. I’ve done my best to reprogram PAMELA but as you might expect she is stronger than me.
Pamela Lavan (Laugh)
Pamela is more than just a computer voice. She is also an author with a wicked sense of humor and she’s also written a book. It's called Not for the Boys: Preteen Edition.
Pamela Lavan - which will make girls of all ages and ladies smile, laugh and giggle at the funny situations naughty male chauvinist boys in the book find themselves in under girls thumbs. As the title says, it’s not for the boys.
You keep saying that is not for the boys - which only made me more curious.
Pamela Lavan …and men listening will probably see the fun in lining their wife in bed both wearing pretty night dresses.
Hahaha that is what I’m talking about.
Pamela Lavan - Giggle, Poor babies
Alright before we go completely off the rails let me read you an excerpt from the book. Before I begin you will hear words like Mummy because Pamela hails from the planet UK.
Pamela Lavan - The book takes place in the south of England in the present day but it could be any town in almost any country although some countries let men carry handbags about and so it’s not so applicable there.
I see. It’s most impactful if your world frowns on men carrying handbags. Noted.
Music
This book is aimed at schoolgirls from 6-year old plus (but teenagers may enjoy it too). This book should only be read by girls or ladies - If it is a girl reading this book or her Mummy, then all is well. However, if it’s a boy or man they are obviously sissies -
If it’s a boy, then he’s to admit to liking skipping, playing dress-up, dollies, etc.
If it is a man, then I hope you enjoy reading this in a sweet bra, panties under your frock. In both case hair ribbons and mincing with your handbag are optional -
The stories in this book are all made up, but should make you laugh while you imagine your brother, cousin, boy next door or from school being put in precarious situations and under control of girls.
Pamela Lavan - Although this book Not for the Boys is completely fiction, with all the characters and situations being made up the girls and ladies in the audience should realize how easy it could be to put the games compliments, fun football and fun laundry into action and have boys, brothers boyfriends and local boys under their thumbs in the same situations the boys in the book find themselves in. Girls will love the compliments game. Especially playing with their mum facing each other and giving a compliment which is greeted by a thanks with a curtsy and pirouette and then a kiss and then the compliment returned to lots of laughter. But then ask a boy to give his mom or sister a compliment and no matter what he says he gets a ballet thank you but then finds a pretty apron slid over his head and he’s tied into it and is given his compliment back ready for his curtsy and pirouette, but it gets even funnier and more embarrassing for him. Fun footy and fun laundry have him in pretty aprons but with a handbag added to his fun look along with ballet, curtsies and pirouettes to more giggles.
I see. It’s fun stories and games to give girls and ladies a laugh. The more macho the boy, the funner it can be.
Pamela Lavan (Takeaway) Giggle,

I have an amazing interview in store for you this week! My guest for this episode is Jim Meade. Jim is an author, speaker and Transcendental Meditation (TM) teacher. Jim has written over 35 books and his books have sold more than 750,000 copies. Clever, funny, and lucid, Meade is a born writer who has sharpened his skills with his books and hundreds of articles. He has taught Transcendental Meditation to thousands in places ranging from his home LA to Tanzania, S. Korea, and Nepal.
We all know we are living in troubling times. We may not be able to change the world, but in his latest book, End Anxiety! Proven Benefits of the Transcendental Meditation® Program, Jim shows us how we can help ourselves. The problem is real and Jim offers an instant and lasting solution.
Jim was there in the mid-sixties when we were undergoing so much change as a society and there was a real surge in the TM movement. In this episode, Jim shares what TM is (and isn’t), more about how it started and what it’s like to look back and see how far TM has come.
Jim and I talk about how TM can help us in our day to day lives to reduce/eliminate feelings such as fear, anxiety, stress and depression. There is a lot of data showing the benefits of TM and Jim and I talk through this to really illustrate how TM helps those who practice it. By eliminating these lower emotions, we are able to free up space to be more creative and expansive in our lives.
I was not familiar with TM prior to this interview and I purposefully went into this interview without doing any research so I could approach our conversation with a true beginner's mind. After this interview, you will have more of an understanding of what Transcendental Meditation is, how it can benefit you in your own life and how you can get started. There is so much packed in this interview you will definitely not want to miss it!

More about End Anxiety! Proven Benefits of the Transcendental Meditation® Program: These days current events are fraught with political animosity, global pandemic, warfare, gun violence, and economic insecurity. The troubling times that we live in leave us uncertain where we stand and in what direction we are going. So it is with good reason that anxiety levels have peaked and the affliction has extended to almost every segment of society—whether they like to admit it or not. We may not be able to change the world but End Anxiety!: Proven Benefits of the Transcendental Meditation® Program, by James Meade, PhD shows us how we can help ourselves. The problem is real, so what can we do about it? In End Anxiety!, James Meade offers an instant and lasting solution—the Transcendental Meditation® program, as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. This may at first seem like a novel approach to the issue, but studies on the effects of Transcendental Meditation® on the mental states of its practitioners have been ongoing for over fifty years and the findings are conclusive: Transcendental Meditation can have a real and powerful positive impact on our mental health, especially in terms of mitigating anxiety, stress, and depression. Get your copy of End Anxiety! Proven Benefits of the Transcendental Meditation® Program on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

In this episode, we continue our mission to change the United States World Happiness score within our area of influence. Before I share how Finland used negative data to change its mental health system, I wanted to share a gift of mindful practice with you before we start researching our action plan. During our time together, I share how negativity is a part of our primary survival skills. We can choose how to use negativity and be aware of not allowing negativity to sabotage our success. Research shows that there is an increase in sadness, worry, and stress around the world. Anxiety becomes a health concern when it grows and interferes with life activities. Be open to learning what triggers negative and positive responses. Self-reflect: What are you willing to learn? Ask yourself: "Am I willing to be flexible to learn and do something different with negativity by turning negative into a positive response to change my sphere of influence?"

Welcome to “Healing From Within” with host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher medium and author of the newest book in my trilogy A New Life Awaits Spiritual Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit showing us our challenges are not economic political or societal just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom and am delighted to welcome Stephane Allix author of When I Was Someone Else who shares the incredible true story of past life connection.As listeners of “Healing from Within” have discovered over the years, the power of an open mind and heart lead to the creation of many blessings and hopes for improving the human and divine condition, allowing ourselves to once again remember through coincidences, synchronicity, dreams, meditation, travel to new place, that we are more than our physical body as consciousness survives physical death. We are therefore immortal eternal souls traveling in many dimensions of life, beyond time and space, always creating and experiencing new potential for awakening to higher consciousness.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within,” Stephane Allix a journalist, former war correspondent, and a founder of the Institute for Research on Extraordinary Experiences, as well as the author of The Test: Incredible Proof of Afterlife, and the writer and director of the French television series Extraordinary Investigates tells of his travel to the Amazon while on a spiritual retreat in Peru, he had a vivid waking vision of a soldier dying on a snowy battlefield followed by scenes from the soldier’s earlier life. Listeners will learn about Stephane’s disturbing sense of closeness with the soldier who turned out to be a German soldier in WWII, and find out why perhaps this all transpired.When Stephane is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person, place or event that might have signaled to him or others around him the interests and lifestyle he might pursue in his adult life, he says he has forgotten most of his childhood and didn’t consider himself to be spiritual at first but focused on war and facts. When his brother died at the age of 32 years-old, he wanted to solve the many mysteries of life, war, death, and why we are having this physical life.Stephane Allix tells us he decided to travel to the Amazon because he says the world is nothing but uncertainty. He writes, “I knew how important it was to follow intuition even when it seems to turn everything upside down. Wanting to be free means taking certain risks and putting oneself in question. Certainly we always find valid excuses for staying put, but how long can we put off discovering who we really are, when everything is on fire inside us. Is it caution or reason that dissuades us? Or habit laziness fear? And isn’t it this intentional blindness that ends up making us ill? I had been putting off the confrontation for too long, so I decided to jump ahead, whatever the price. I left in order to look at myself head on, in solitude and in meditation without the blinders that daily life holds permanently in place. I am embarking on this retreat far from my usual world with my loving wife and family with the desire to encounter myself. And I have no idea just how true that is going to be.”Stephane tells us how he felt about himself before he went to this retreat in the Amazon to further explore the sense of darkness that resided alongside the lighter aspects of his thinking, and which he realized was part of every person’s soul life. Between the light and dark must lie the answers to many of his questions. Stephan remembered watching his father aged 85 before taking his last breath as he was beginning to fail saying something that touched him deeply His father said, “When I think of the future I see that it’s over, and when I look back, I realize that life has gone by in the blink of an eye.” And he accompanied that statement with a crisp snap of his fingers.
Samhain actually pronounced "Sow-en" has been enjoyed by many as a Witch's New Year celebration. Traditionally, it is the time when the Veil Between the Worlds grows thinnest helping us to connect with the Ancestors. Dave the Sage also talks about some ways you can create your own altar as a way to honor them. And for the secular amongst us Happy Halloween!

I love this quote.
I don’t know about you – I am committed to learning something new every day.
So, part of my lifelong learning routine includes reading first thing every morning so I can continue to challenge myself and grow both personally and professionally.
For me personal development is not a choice, it is a critical habit that is needed to achieve overall business success as well as personal happiness in life.
With the amount of information and resources available it’s sometimes hard to determine where to spend our time and money for that personal growth.
That is my mission with my two podcasts. I want to share recognized thought leaders and my trusted colleagues to help you navigate whatever change you are facing right here and right now.

WOW, is this quote true for me!
When I started my sales consulting firm 21 years ago, I sat down and reflected on what made me so successful as a sales representative.
The bottom line, I’m honest, in integrity all the time, and view my role in sales as educating the client to make an informed and profitable decision.
After reflecting, I realized I had always used a 7 Step Sales Process that logically and emotionally built deep client relationships that have lasted over the long-term as well as providing referrals to my client’s friends, family, and other business people.
After 40 years of being successful in sales, it all boils down to building life-long relationships!
My philosophy is simple, I call it the hat trick of sales. It’s a win/win/win formula so everyone in the equation comes out a winner.

In this episode, my friend Darren McKoy shares his journey of finding his purpose and the tools and strategies to help others find the purpose in their life.
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/LTCCbStRxHE
About Darren McKoy:
Darren is an inspiring speaker on the topic of Purpose. During his life growing up Darren did what his parents told him to do and that was to go to school so he can get a good education. After graduating, Darren went into the workforce, and after trying that for a while, constantly jumping from job to job, he began to notice that it was a developing pattern in his life. He knew for his life there had to be more than what he was doing.
Darren was making a living, but he wasn't finding fulfillment in what he was doing. The defining moment in Darren's life is when he finally had that internal conversation with himself and made the decision that he will overcome whatever fear he had and move forward. Not just move forward but move with a purpose in mind. Darren's purpose and mission is to share with people that there is more to their life than just living.
A quote that Darren loves to share by Winston S. Churchill says "It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something." Darren believes that we should be in pursuit of the purpose of life so we can live a life with meaning and fulfillment so we can make a contribution to the world.

What is your super-ability? Would you consider your primary skill to be your superpower? What if you had an actual superpower, what would you like it to be? This episode is based on the book Fog Vol. 1. Chaos in Quantum City by Athanasios Panayotou.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
We all have unique skills and abilities but what if our strengths, our unique abilities, were our superpowers? Imagine finding yourself in a world where all that is possible. A world with a lot more than meets the eye and in that world these things are possible.
Speaking of Super-powers, when I was very young I wanted to be invisible. I thought it would be so cool to be able to go anywhere without being seen. Probably because I was a teen-aged boy and there were girls' locker rooms to be explored. As I grew up my interests became much more sophisticated. Invisibility changed to the ability to fly — because why not. Over the years I’ve given this a lot of thought. Now, I think if I could have any superpower it would definitely be super-strength. My hero has always been Spiderman and you can do a lot of good with strength like Spidey’s but I digress…
Athan Panayotou lives in the city of Larne in Northern Ireland. It’s a city very much like the one you live in. A place where young people dream about being a superhero or having super powers. Right around the age of seventeen he became enthralled with the superhero fantasy.
Athan Panayotou - I’ve always wanted to make my own kind of superhero kind of universe and from a very young age like sixteen-seventeen I had illustrations of these characters that I was doing and I really wanted to write the stories as if they were like the comic books and I ended up making it into a novel.
His novel is now reality and it’s called Fog Vol. 1. Chaos in Quantum City and it is just the beginning! He calls it Volume one because there are definitely plans to expand this universe in fact Volume two is already written - but not published - but for now let's focus on Volume one.
Athan Panayotou - It’s set in Ireland. There’s a lot of history I’ve fabricated too in between present day and 2183 to have things different and changed and new cities that have appeared. I like to say that it’s set in Galway but it’s like a fictional version of Galway.
So this gritty take on the superhero genre is set on the West coast of Ireland in the fictional city of Quantum.
Athan Panayotou - Quantum City is like a semi Utopian, the other half Dystopian, it’s not all good and there’s always people plotting behind the scenes and these characters just kind of get thrown in mix and have to figure out what’s going on and how they’re going to use their abilities.
So Nathan, Keris, Felix and Natasha are just a few of the characters that are tasked with defeating the threats that plague them in Quantum City. Threats like Elliot…
Athan Panayotou - He’s the one that’s stirring the pot. He is causing grief and uh, what’s the word…hindering. He's a hindrance . He’s got his own plan in the works and things he wants to do and they’re not morally good. Elliot’s very upper class, stereotypical kind of snob, he’s very intelligent, he can be kind of unhinged.
There is humor, suspense, revenge and of course superpowers but not everyone uses their unique abilities for good. How did they even get their abilities? Was it something they wanted or was it done to them? The answers are all in the book but here’s the deal. You can’t just have abilities. You have to have a a good story and this book does have that. A good story and some great characters. In fact character development is one of Athan’s super-powers.
Athan Panayotou - Yea, definitely, I really do love character development. The characters definitely aren’t the same as they were in the start of the book as they are at the end of the book. I really had a lot of fun with their individual journey’s and like how they change.
Who creates a new you? Of course, you do! Your transformation begins by forging a new view. To see life anew ignites an explosion in you. When your view of everything changes, everything changes for you. This episode is based on the rhyme’s within the new book by Paul W. Naragon titled, “Gibberrishi’s Rhymes to Contemplate, Poetic Verse Moving You Into A New Life”
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram
Let’s begin the process of creating a new you. If you are willing to entertain the idea of making a new life for yourself then today’s show just might do the trick. It was the great Dr. Suess who once said “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” The reading will come later but the learning part begins now as I introduce you to Paul W. Naragon another man who is no stranger to the Rhyme — something else we will get to shortly. Paul once asked himself the question “Who am I” and he did it over and over as he took a very long walk…
Paul Naragon - I walked from Kansas City to the West coast when I was fifty years old and that kind of started that whole contemplation of thinking, who am I, what’s the purpose of life and what am I doing and all this kind of stuff.
You heard him correctly. He walked from Kansas City to the West coast. Reminds me of Forrest Gump.
Paul Naragon - …and I did it in the wintertime too and I just had a pair of sandals and cotton socks because you can imagine the heat generated when you walk ten to twenty miles a day.
The heat wasn’t the first thing that came to mind. It’s all that time alone but again it was Dr. Seuss who said, “All alone! Whether you like it or not, Alone is something you’ll be quite a lot!`` So I guess if walking is what you’re determined to do then you gather your thoughts and the things you need and set off to walking….Godspeed, indeed :)
Paul took a long walk and came back with some profound wisdom. Wisdom that he now shares in a series of books.
Paul Naragon - I’ve written three books now. The first was Gibberrishi’s Profound Rhymes, the second on Gibberrishi’s Rhymes to contemplate and the third one While the Gibberrishi’s rhymes his bed burns. All these focus on basically the same context and what it does is try to give a very practical application to spiritual ideas about life.
And some of that wisdom includes things like this…
Paul Naragon - We need to understand that our actions are based on our thoughts and if they’re not for the well being of all and they’re only serving a few that’s not being of service to yourself or anyone else really.
I love that. Your attention and intentions determine the flow of your body’s life force. Also, part of controlling your thoughts is quieting that inner voice of yours. The one that’s constantly chattering away.
Paul Naragon - When you stop the daily chatter that goes on in your head what you begin to start to realize is that the reason why we are experiencing what we’re experiencing is because we are living most of our life based on memory and so what I’ve come to realize from that is that a lot of the things we think we’re experiencing we’ve already lived through and it’s only because we are stuck on our memory of the past that we think that’s what’s happening to us, so we’re living in the past.
Paul has created a series of books designed to teach spirituality in a fun and easy to remember way because they are designed on the principle of Parsimony.
Paul Naragon - Yes exactly and most rhymes and poetry is very short in verse and one of the things that’s very important and this is another thing that brought me to this whole idea of writing poetry and rhymes is that when I was in graduate school I had read an article about Occum’s Razor. It’s the law of parsimony which says basically if something that is explained in its simplest terms and yet explains fully what is being said is the best way.
In theory, there is nothing wrong with a happy wife. The problem is thinking it is the key to a happy life. A relationship is a function of the two people in it. If the focus of that relationship is on just one of the participants, you are doing long term damage to the relationship. Rick Fortier, author and observer of life, is here to talk about why this is so and how you can bring the balance back. Send your comments and suggestions to Lesli and share the show on Facebook and Twitter.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher Medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights To Support Global Awakening which shares stories messages from spirit that shows us our challenges are not merely economic political societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom and insight into healing on all levels mind body and soul. Sheryl is delighted today to welcome Dr. B.S. Ajaikumar author of Excellence Has No Borders: How a Doctorpreneur Created a World Class Cancer Hospital Chain.When Dr. Ajaikumar is asked think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown him or others the interests and lifestyle he might pursue as an adult for Sheryl feels the destiny and life plan of the soul begins at birth or even before conception in the Universal source of creative life.Dr. Ajaikumar wrote, “Life, as we know it, is replete with conflicts. My journey as an entrepreneur is motivated by challenges—and indeed as a person of conscience, began with a conflict. It was a conflict that was to define my approach to life itself, which is to fight for the underdog. The incident occurred when I was in seventh grade. My classmate, who was not very bright, was walloped hard by a teacher till his hand became red and swollen. He had committed a small indiscretion. I still don’t know what came over me, but I was livid. My reaction was not so much to the corporal indignity of the act as it was to my sense of injustice and lack of fairness in the intensity of the punishment meted out. I took it upon myself to form a delegation of students and report the incident to the head of the institution. I was oblivious to the fact that this could lead to undesirable consequences for me. Yet, there I was, marching off a group of excitable youngsters into the lion’s den to complain about what I felt was a barbaric act. Providentially, and unbelievably, the said lion saw merit in my indignation. The teacher was dismissed from service. When I think about this now, for a twelve-year-old to audaciously take on a teacher at his school is not only inconceivable but also possibly tantamount to academic suicide. But it is this very same sense of justice that spawned in me the seed of what would later become a core element of my personality: the need to welcome challenges.Another childhood remembrance written by B.S. was about his feelings at about five years and he writes, “ And my older brother Amar Kumar was exactly that. A student of Sacred Heart School in Bengaluru, Amar was every parent’s dream come true. He was supremely talented, a phenomenal debater, fluent in English and, of course, an academic achiever. They say that the birth order of siblings dictates everything from their personalities to parental affection to the world’s perception of the siblings in question. More specifically, first-borns hog the lion’s share of parental love, not to mention the shadow they cast on their younger siblings. It was no different in my case. So, while my brother continued to enjoy quality schooling at Sacred Heart, I was shifted to a ‘regular’ school called Bala Mandira. My father could not afford to put both his sons through elite schooling. My brother’s debating achievements were storied affairs at home, while the prizes I won at school were relegated to oblivion. The older brother’s shadow was also evident in my parents’ plan for my future. I remember one day I overheard my parents discussing our future. My father was commenting that while Amar’s was secure, ‘I don’t know what will become of Ajai’.But, in spite of everything, I still loved my family. Why did I care so much for my father? While I knew he loved me, his way of showing that love and care was not conventional. He expressed his love and affection in unique ways. He showed his deep affection for me with his obsession for my academic performance.
In this week’s episode Gina explains the power in surrounding yourself with beauty. And how to do very easily and affordably. Think beauty is superficial? Think again!
Some say it’s in the eye of the beholder but beauty is SO much deeper and MORE powerful. Beauty fuels you. In honor of its power this is the first of a series.
You may be surprised when you hear her take on the role beauty can play in your life… especially in your home, your office, and anywhere you choose to spend your time, for that matter.
Beauty evokes our senses. Think about beauty appearing in nature. It’s been proven to feed the soul, calm the nerves, and revive us.
And that is something you deserve.
Beauty inspires and encourages you. It’s rich in depth. There’s an invisible exchange that happens between you and the beauty that you choose to surround yourself with.
Listen in while she shares simple and fun ideas that will allow your space to inspire and invoke you to be the best version of yourself.
Learn how to create spaces that speak to you, invite you in and nourish you. So, you can feel (even) MORE empowered to go do those BIG things in your day with delight.

Brooke Siem was among the first generation of minors to be prescribed antidepressants. Initially diagnosed and treated in the wake of her father’s sudden death, this psychiatric intervention sent a message that something was pathologically wrong with her and that the only “fix” was medication. As a teenager, she stepped into the hazy world of antidepressants just at the time when she was forming the foundation of her identity. For the following fifteen years, every situation she faced was seen through the lens of brokenness.
A decade and a half later, still on the same cocktail of drugs, Brooke found herself hanging halfway out her Manhattan high-rise window, calculating the time it would take to hit the ground. As she looked for breaks in the pedestrian traffic patterns, a thought dawned on her: “I’ve spent half my life—and my entire adult life—on antidepressants. Who might I be without them?”
Unfurled against a global backdrop, May Cause Side Effects is the gripping story of what happened when, after fifteen years and 32,760 pills, Brooke was faced with a profound choice that plunged her into a year of excruciating antidepressant withdrawal and forced her to rebuild her entire life.
In this episode, Brooke shares her story of getting off antidepressants, what she learned along the way and how she was able to come out on the other side with a new story for herself. This book is an illuminating memoir for those who take, prescribe, or are considering psychiatric drugs, May Cause Side Effects is an honest reminder that the road to true happiness is not mapped on a prescription pad. Instead, Brooke’s story reveals the messy reality of how healing begins at the bottomless depth of our suffering, in the deep self-work that pushes us to the edges of who we are.
Watch the interview with Brooke here:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/cZyySjR1Z2v7/
More About Brooke Siem: Brooke Siem is a writer, speaker, and advocate for the practice of safe de-prescribing for psychiatric drugs. Her debut memoir on antidepressant withdrawal, May Cause Side Effects is the long version of work that has appeared in the Washington Post, Psychology Today, and more. Her newsletter, “Happiness is a Skill”, is devoted to antidepressant withdrawal education, healing from depression, and the skill of happiness.
In addition to Brooke’s work in the world of mental health, she is an award-winning chef with over fifteen years in the industry. She co-founded New York City’s Prohibition Bakery in 2011, was named as one of Zagat’s 30 Under 30 in 2014, and was crowned a Food Network “Chopped” Champion in 2017. Though Prohibition Bakery is now closed, Brooke continues to work as a private chef for elite performers and conducts research & development for CPG startups.
When she’s not writing or cooking, she can be found in Nevada, lounging in the desert sun with her rescue mutt, Bellaroo. You can connect with Brooke at her website https://www.brookesiem.com/ and get your copy of May Cause Side Effects on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

We can use clinical thinking to help understand and retrieve valuable lessons from the World Happiness Report. For example, the World Happiness Score revealed that Finland has the highest happiness score compared to 146 other countries worldwide. However, Finland realized that people are hesitant to share symptoms of depression or mental health. In the '80s, Finland had the highest suicide rate in the EU. During the '90s, a "nationwide suicide prevention campaign" helped decrease suicide rates across all age groups. Finns were uncomfortable coming out and saying they have mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and suicide. This is an acute symptom of systemic weakness.
Another critical sign came to light. The Finnish education system has also changed to a "student lead learning mode" rather than the "teacher lead model." As a result, educators believe more training is needed and causing uncertainty. Also, Finland's ranking in the education system has declined for the first time. The Finnish education system received a" must try harder" Program for International Assessment (PISA). Educators expressed that the decrease in PISA ranking is because of low pay teacher salaries, too many children, and not enough resources. The curriculum includes a focus on social skills and emotional skills. And PISA evaluates math, reading, and science. Teachers recommend that increased time be allotted for teaching the material to help students improve their PISA rankings. Another reason students not performing well is because of increased screen time, and they are bringing more whole-world views into the classroom because of their exposure to social crises on social media.
Join me as I discuss the following:
The internet's attraction in influencing self-image.How symptoms of self-image delay people who need help.How shame and honor for the country delay people who need help.Increased involvement with technology is hampering educational performance in class.
Talking under challenging situations is a crucial link to helping people realize there are other options rather than mental health suffering.
Program for International Assessment (PISA). Educators in Finland agree that more students spend more time on screen than reading books.

What a great quote and reminder that we are truly the master of our thoughts and can create any future we choose with action.
Sometimes I feel like we give away our power because we are not sure what the next step is or what action to take. So, I know, sometimes I hesitate to move forward for fear of making a misstep!
What I have learned, is that there are really no missteps especially if we learn from what we perceive as past mistakes. The other thing I have learned is that action and movement, even if not the perfect choice stills move us closer to our desired outcome or goals. I think it’s all about movement and tuning into our inner wisdom.
So how do we tune into our inner wisdom? Glad you asked…

Today’s quote actually made me pause and reflect on my own business journey over the past 21 years and knowing where I was going was not always clear or easy to define!
I know for me as a business owner, finding the next step is important yet I have also learned that moving forward, even if a misstep is still good and allows for easier shifts and pivots. It also allows for learning and defining what is working and what changes are needed along the way.
So is there an easier way to grow a business using goals to support long-term solutions that stick?

God tells us only the humble will hear His voice and join Him in building His kingdom. What must we do once we decide we want to help Him build His kingdom? We must put away our pride and become humble before we can reflect God's selfless love. It is our pride that keeps us from reasoning with Him.

There are many aspects to healing - healing the body, healing the mind and spirit, along with healing the world. Healing is multidimensional and involves our different levels of being, our human body and our eternal spirit within; resident in unconscious levels of our mind.
We see healing of spirit through life, and healing of body with many techniques, medical, surgical and spiritual. The spiritual healing process involves planes of spirit within levels of the mind both conscious and unconscious. In the unconscious-mind we find our relationship to the Divine, the power of the universe, called God by many. Our planet is also in need of Healing both by enhancing its regeneration and by refreshing its spirit.
In studying healing, we see who we are and what we are doing here in this life. It is the combination of medicine, science and philosophy unravelling the old spiritual mysteries held in trust by religions through time.

Find out what the United States is doing right. The United States moved up three points on the World Happiness Report to the 16th happiness country in the world. Americans can be satisfied with being in the top twenty. However, there is room to grow. How can the United States advance to the top 10 of the World Happiness Report? Does our society gauge success on wealth and power? The road to happiness is not measured in currency or strength of influence. Join me as we uncover and explore how to learn from the World Happiness Report and improve the USA happiness score. The world happiness score does not measure jovial or how well a comedian a person can drive an audience to unbridled laughter. What it does measure is the quality of life elements - people's perceptions of cultural values system, goals, expectations, sense of security, freedoms, well-being in religious expression, leisure values, and social relationships. It measures Maslow's hierarchy of needs results when lower needs are satisfied. But how does society measure the higher level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs? I will share how Finland uses data to respond to societal gaps in this podcast. Jme, I will uncover results of how mental health, drug use, and alcohol have played a role in the highest-ranking country on the World Happiness Report. This information suggests that Americans have an opportunity to learn how to contribute to improving the World Happiness Score in our part of the world.

When I read this quote, I felt like it was speaking directly to me. I move fast all the time and forget to slow down enough to hear and feel the answers I am seeking.
It has been a lifelong challenge for me to slow down enough to allow me to speed up. At first, this concept seemed counterintuitive for me. As I age this truth of slowing down to speed up is spot on and always allows me to see, hear, or feel what the next correct step is for me, my family, and my business.
The reality is that anxiety is everywhere these days, and the toll is high. You can hardly hear the message above the clamor. Yet a simple, scientifically verified meditation practice can literally end the anxiety, and open the floodgates for success.

Leadership skills seem to change and evolve just as we humans change and evolve. If COVID has taught us anything, it’s that change is inevitable and how we deal or react to that change will define how we show up as leaders.
Another piece of the puzzle to great leadership is the exchange of energy to help people within our teams or organizations to thrive not just survive using positive and encouraging feedback and support.
Leaders, we can no longer rest on our laurels or what used to work. Today, the impact we make on our teams boils down to energy and how we yield this wonderful tool that we all have within us. No exceptions!

Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shows us that our challenges are not economic political societal but often a disconnect from our inner wisdom or soul being and that understanding our dual nature as both spiritual and physical beings leads to healing, peace, and acceptance of all hardships. Today I welcome Hope O. Baker is the author of Finding Hope as she shares the story of an Open Adoption along with the pain and depression that followed that choice even though she knew it was the very best choice for everyone concerned, until she found a way back to the light. Hope offers solace to the many young women who are unable to care for a newborn but love them and wish them the best life possible.As listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect over the years Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and insights into the human condition and the situations that lead us past sorrow trauma doubt to a greater awareness of our true human/divine nature and the reasons we experience situations that seem daunting but eventually help us to grow in mind body and spirit. We are complicated human and energetic beings and have a life plan and destiny specifically designed by our souls before we enter a physical life and we can triumph no matter what difficulties we have deemed necessary to take on in this life.. That is the truth!In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Hope Baker shares the details of her earlier life having an abortion while in High School and the adoption process she chose when she got pregnant in college and how it affected her and her family and friends. Hope learned that no matter what stage or type of parenting experience one has there are shared moments that are relevant to all of us. She shares how messy and chaotically beautiful adoption can be and her struggle and how the community can help you rebuild your life.When Hope is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place event that might have signaled to them or others the values life path and interests they would pursue as an adult she immediately tells us of a teacher she had when she was ten years old who told her she would never make it to college and was not up to par. Sheryl as a former elementary school teacher for a short time in her earlier life is horrified and tells Hope of when she moved to a new school in 6th grade and as a sensitive child intuitive and empathic had difficulty adjusting and one day while singing with the class the teacher walked around and stopped by her desk and told Sheryl to stop singing and only mouth the words as she was off tune. Sheryl was horrified and embarrassed and still loves singing and music even after that horrible encounter. Sheryl goes on to tell Hope that nothing is random and what happened to them helped them to strengthen their resolve and self reliance so they could go on to become the powerful leaders they are no matter what challenges they face.Hope tells us about the pregnancy and conditions that lead her to decide on choosing adoption for your child. At twenty-one years old, she placed her son up for adoption. She opted for the open route or Open Adoption which would allow her son to know his birth mother and to be included in some way as he grew up. Hope met (and even lived with) her son’s adoptive mother before he was born. She knew it was the right decision for my son’s life at the time, even if it didn’t feel best for her life. Hope did it for him. “As mothers, that’s what we do, right? We make the best decisions we can for our children, even if those decisions break us. And let me tell you, I was fucking broken. Over and over again, a little more every day. We’ll get to that later”Hope has been on the other side of the story, too having had an abortion when she got pregnant in high school.

As the title implies, I got married this week! It’s been quite a journey for me and in this episode, I share what I learned along the way. Many, many years of failed relationships and feeling like I could never have the relationship I wanted led to years and years of negative stories in my head. I spent a lot of time working on myself to change those stories and get to where I am today.
Nothing that I’m going to tell you in this episode requires you to do anything crazy to go after your dreams.. In fact, you might even call it cliche (defined as: a trite, stereotyped expression; a sentence or phrase, usually expressing a popular or common thought or idea, that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by long overuse). But cliches are cliche for a reason and there is truth to them even if they have lost their originality and impact from overuse.
If you are looking for some inspiration to keep your dream alive and learn how to roll with the changes life brings, be sure to tune into this episode!

God does not want blind followers repeating some mantra. He wants people willing to use the wonderful brains. He gave us to reason with the truth. He wants us to reason until we know the truth of His plan for salvation. Then our reasoning will produce the faith required for us to accept Jesus as our savior.
This week, Gina explains the unspoken dilemma that elite, ambitious, and professional people face when they make it to the top.
Society has us believing that we’ve made it when we achieve success. And in our culture, success means degrees, titles, status, and money. Sure, those things are nice to have and afford us ease and comfort. BUT so often they leave us feeling that something is missing.
When you achieve success and make it to the top, you may find it’s rather different than what you expected. You may feel lonely. Possibly you feel something is missing. A key component is missing. And an intense desire to figure it out may fuel your heart.
After decades of hard work and determination, why does this happen? Why are we left asking, “Now what?”
Listen in while Gina shines a light and gives a voice to this phenomenon.
Did you know… your “Now what?” is greater than just you.
This missing piece, this void, in your life is (even) MORE far-reaching with great impact. It affects your loved ones, family and friends.
Don’t be surprised if by the end, you are nodding your head “yes” to Gina’s definition of “making it”.
Walk away with clear possibilities for your “Now what?”
Should a pastor keep the peace or stir the waters?! This was the moral dilemma that Rev. Galusha Anderson faced when he arrived from the North to serve a congregation of divided loyalties in a divided city during the Civil War. This episode is based on the book GALUSHA. Crisis and Courage in a Civil War Pastor by Stephen D. Jones.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram
We live in divided time. Is that the understatement of the day or what? I’m not just talking about politics. It used to be that way but it seems we keep finding new and bigger ways to get more and more divided. Think about it. Which side are you on when it comes to the economy, racism, immigration, climate control, taxes and the 1%, Gender equality and the list goes on. It’s a lot more than just liberal vs. democrat. How did it get this way? Good question and it demands more attention than just this one episode of Newsgram but I’ll tell you what. Let’s take a trip to a time when our country was it’s most divided, the 1860’s and visit a city uniquely positioned on the far West end of the Mason Dixon Line.
Stephen D. Jones - Well the unique thing about St. Louis during the civil war is that people on both sides lived side by side. They shopped in the same shops they lived on the same streets, the same neighborhoods, they attended the same churches, belonged to the same organizations and clubs and so forth and yet they were sending their sons out to kill their other sons on the battlefield. You don’t usually think of that in such close proximity. So these people had to learn how to hold deep passions which they did both pro-Union, pro-confederacy, but not have it blow up in the city of St. Louis and the fighting largely did not take place in the city of St. Louis. It happened all around it but not in it.
That is Reverend Stephen D. Jones of theFirst Baptist Church of Kansas City Missouri, just a few hours drive from St. Louis. He recently wrote a book about another man of the cloth, the Reverend Galusha Anderson, pastor of the Second Baptist Church of St. Louis. (The Story of Border City During the Civil War)
Stephen D. Jones - I had never really heard of him before I went to St. Louis.
He was there doing some research and came across a book called “A Border City During the Civil War'' by Galusha Anderson and it inspired him to write his own book which is called GALUSHA. Crisis and Courage in a Civil War Pastor and one of the things I found most interesting about all of this was learning about some of the challenges that pastors face when dealing with a divided congregation. To bring it closer to home for you let me ask you a question. Have you ever faced a serious moral dilemma, and realized that there is both a costly way through it, and an easy way out? Which would you choose?
Stephen D. Jones - I think many people have kind of a crucible moment in their lives where you get tested and pushed to the limit and your true metal comes out and I think that’s what happened during these, really only six years that he served in St. Louis but they were crucible years for Galusha for several reasons, personal as well as pastoral. I was so taken by what happened to him, to his family, that I read the book several times and I began to realize that underneath that history that he was trying to write was his own personal story and it just kept coming out and I don’t think he intended it. I think if somebody told him, “you are writing a lot about yourself”, he might have edited it out, thank goodness he didn’t and what I did was pick up on all those personal vignettes and put them together and ofd that it told a striking story that i felt deserved to be told.
Galusha Anderson became the first pastor in St. Louis to take a stand against slavery and for the Union. Not an easy stand to take.
Stephen D. Jones - There was one Sunday night when he decided as the first pastor in St. Louis to speak out against slavery and against the succession of the s...

The Author
Neil Boss is a British author who best describes himself as an,’ excellent cook, decent writer, average fly fisher and bad guitarist. Born in Harrow a leafy suburb of London that sits at the heart of the commuter belt that feeds the fiercely competitive financial corporate district of London, simply known as, ‘The City or Square Mile.’ Neil Boss entered this rat race world as he turned forty. Despite been brought up in a middle-class area he would say he was a working-class kid. An only child, his father was a fireman and his mother a personnel officer.
Growing up in London as a teenager in the seventies where life was starting to become less inhibited with the bars, clubs and all that went with the nightlife backdrop in those somewhat liberated days especially the rock and punk music bands that where emerging on the scene, was to some degree Neil’s piece de resistance.
Despite the allures of ‘London Life,’ Neil had a different angle to him, seeing himself in those early days as a budding Marine Biologist having been enamoured by the French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau and his underwater expeditions that were brough to life through the early colour TV sets that sat in the corner of all our so-called lounges. Neil enrolled at Bangor University in North Wales as an undergraduate to study Marine Biology. The location was of course stunning, being on the doorstep of one of the most breath-taking scenic areas within the UK. However, the social scene in North Wales compared to the city lights of London was in his words,’ lacking excitement and behind the times.’ He returned to London University to complete his B Sc degree in Marine Biology.
Neil’s interest in writing started at school. His English teacher wrote in his school report, ‘has the potential to be a very good creative writer.’ This continued into further education where he was the editor of his college magazine which won a Guardian Student Journalism Award, and he was a regular contributor to ‘London Student.’
A career in the world of natural science didn’t quite sparkle enough for Neil so having undertaken an MBA at Henley Management College, he immersed himself into the cut-throat brutal world of corporate finance. The world of mergers, takeovers and acquisitions took Neil all over the world advising clients on how best to strike those multimillion/billion deals. He worked for companies like Ernst & Young and Deloitte’s. Did Neil enjoy this fiercely competitive culture, I would say yes. Did he make a buck or two en-route, most likely.
For Neil, now a divorced person with two grown up children, has moved away from the financial sector and decided to follow another passion of his, books, not just reading them but actually writing them. His retirement at the end of 2019 coincided with the start of the pandemic in 2020 and he set about writing this first novel. He soon realised like many authors with their debut books having a story and bringing it to the public domain is a whole new ball game which requires a lot of intervention and feedback from others in the industry. For me the decision he took to change career in 2019 was about time certainly not,’ Maybe it’s about time.’

The Book
This Debut book, ‘Maybe it’s About Time,’ for me has been cleverly written, in fact I’ d go as far as describing it as a masterpiece in creative writing. When you look at the storyline and the main character Marcus Barlow, you’ll see many parallel similarities to Neil’s own life and background, particularly around cooking and the type of music Neil talks about. Marcus, is a high-powered partner in a large professional services firm in the Square Mile of London. He and his team and other associate partners are in the midst of putting a corporate package together for a client, Espina, who are in stage two of Project Spearmint. However, ‘The Firm,’ as Marcus refers to his employers,
Our pets offer amazing insights into ourselves, the world and life in general…..if we take the time to observe and see what they have to offer us! In this episode, I’m excited to have back one of my favorite guests, Dr. Erhard Vogel. Erhard and I are both animal lovers and in this episode, we touch on many different aspects of our pets and what they can teach us about life.
Erhard and I talk about our dogs, the lessons they teach us, the emotions our pets experience and so much more. I share some examples of what my own dog has taught me about happiness, forgiveness and letting things go. One of my favorite examples from my dog is that I take my dog for a walk every morning. One thing I do when we wake up is I tell him how much of an amazing day we are going to have and I review all the good things we are going to do for the day, or that he gets to eat, etc. That really helped me as I started looking at my own days and being more intentional with my mornings!
We also touch on dreams in this episode from a dog and human perspective. I share one of the recurring dreams I had for 20+ years and how I was finally able to understand what it meant and how running from it was more painful than just facing it. If you are an animal lover or considering getting a pet, you are really going to love this episode and all the insight it has to offer!

This is the story of those psychological forces that help define us. Who are you and where did you come from? Learning more about your past brings a sense of security and inner peace. Mario Cartaya went back to Cuba to reclaim his forgotten Cuban past and wrote a book about it called Journey Back Into the Vault, In Search of My Faded Cuban Childhood Footprints.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram
Recently my daughter and her husband took a trip overseas to the UK. In her travels through Scotland (Edinburgh to be specific) she visited one of the castles — because you have to go right? There was a room there that sold Ancestral Name products, licensed heraldic certificates that show your families coat of arms.
A quick backstory.
I once submitted a cheek sample to trace my DNA and the results showed that my ancestors came from that region. So when she found the coat of arms with a full description of our family name it was really cool. It felt like a puzzle piece from the past clicking together and I found it very exciting. I can see why people become obsessed with genealogy. It’s a booming industry and it’s a lot of fun. It kind of feels like time travel in a way but — this is going to seem pretty deep but there’s more to it than meets the eye. There’s an inner peace that comes from knowing where you came from.
Mario Cartaya - How do we go from all the hate and the anger and the fear that we are exposed to daily into achieving an inner peace.
That’s Mario Cartaya and he has a really nice way of putting things. Inner peace begins with an understanding of who you are and where you come from.
Mario Cartaya - Come to terms with who you really are and then try to find that inner-peace within us that we all need so much.
He knows something about this. In an effort to reclaim his forgotten Cuban childhood and his original identity he did some digging into his own past. The results are in his new book Journey Back Into the Vault, In Search of My Faded Cuban Childhood. When he was nine years old he was forced to flee his home country with his parents and older brother in a pretty dramatic way.
Mario Cartaya - The head of the Cuban Nationalization program of American properties putting a gun to my dad's head demanding his books. My dad did comply eventually and that forced us to leave the island when Guevara told him your future safety in this country is no longer guaranteed.
When you’re forced to leave your country in this way you have to leave everything behind, your aunts, uncles, friends and acquaintances.
Mario Cartaya - We just never got to say goodbye. The 1960’s if you remember was a time of the Cuban missile crisis, it was of the bay of Pigs invasion, it was time when many, many things happened and there was no communication between us and Cuba so they did and we only found out through Western Union telegraphs that would tell us your grandfather died, your uncle died.
I can’t imagine the culture shock of coming to America from Cuba in the early 1960’s. I guess one of the cool things would be the fact that he was very young and didn’t have to be concerned with the draft or politics. You get to just try and fit in as an American kid. play some baseball, make new friends, eat a hot dog and learn why we call it soccer….
Mario Cartaya - It was wonderful. Becoming an American was easy, however that vault that I built to protect me from all these painful and relevant memories would come to play a few years later.
Yep, at some point in the growing up process we are all forced to breach that vault where we’ve stored all those painful memories and see if enough time has gone by to have another look. For some of us it happens naturally and for others you have to crack open your own unconscious ‘vault’ and retrieve the buried memories to better examine them in with the wisdom that comes from growing older.
Mario chose to head back to Cuba.
If Tomorrow Never Comes What would you do with your last twenty-four hours? It’s not only a great question, it's the subject of today’s show and the title of the book that inspired it all by Scott E. Kauffman.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram
What would you do with all that money if you won the lottery? No-one really expects to win but when the jackpot rises we all like to play because it’s fun to think about what life would be like if money was no object and at the core of it all there is a chance you could win - as minuscule as it may be, there is still a chance and that makes the dream seem real. Examine that dream for a minute but let me add something. You need to keep working. Would you become the captain of a large yacht and sail the world with rich tourists, would you become a singer or maybe a philanthropist? There’s no right or wrong here. It’s your dream and your destiny.
Now, what if I told you tomorrow was not coming. Certainly money is no longer an option but your dream is still real. What would you do with your last twenty-four hours? Did you accomplish everything you were put on this earth to do yet? Did you even know you were put here to accomplish anything. You were and you can.
Scott E. Kauffman - If you do it now when you only have twenty-four hours why not do it the you have an undetermined twenty-four hours? Find that passion. Find that thing that you were born to do and go do it.
We are all searching for purpose. Except those that have already found it and to those people I say congratulations but far too many of us give up before we even start because we just can’t believe that the things we really want to do, deep within our hearts, are even possible. Scott Kauffman wrote a book about this called If Tomorrow Never Comes What would you do with your last twenty-four hours? and in it he says the reason you are even having these dreams is because you are supposed to do something with them.
Scott E. Kauffman - People you need to understand that you have a purpose. You have a reason to be here and how much better is life when you are doing what you love ok? and it’s not work so ow your occupation is your vocation and that makes all the difference in the world. It really, really does.
Remember what I said earlier about winning the lottery?
Scott E. Kauffman - You can have all the accouterments of success. You can have the big house the fancy car and lots of money but if you are not doing that one thing that’s inside your heart, and for me it’s writing, if you are not doing that one thing there will be a void and that voids not gonna be filled by a bigger house, a fancier car or more money and to me writing is, it’s my happy place I enjoy it. I can’t explain to you how I did it, I can’t explain why - oh I can tell you why I do it because I want people to learn they are significant in this world. We are just no human beings ladies and gentlemen we’re not. There is so much more to us and the gifts you have inside are there to help people discover the gifts that they have inside so they can help someone else discover, and someone else discover and someone else discover. If only one person opens this book and reads it and only one person gets that aha moment then I have done what I was charged to do.
So how do we do it? That’s the bottom line right? All of this sounds great but in reality how do you actually do it? Well first of all stop listening to that negative voice inside telling you you can’t. That you are too old or too entrenched in your current life to make a change.
Scott E. Kauffman - No matter how old you are you can still accomplish the greatest thing in your life if you will just allow yourself to grow into who you really are.
AND…Believe it or not, you need to understand that we are Spirit, first and foremost, that is not a religious statement, it's a fact .
Scott E. Kauffman - There’s more to like than what we were led to believe.
We are contributing members of our world. Therefore, we can contribute to improving happiness in our part of the world. I propose that it will significantly impact the overall happiness score.
Join me as I share elements of the quality of life that influences the perception of happiness in the world happiness report.
How would you measure your quality of life? How do you measure your level of success? Do you measure success according to the gross national product? I am going to talk about the inner core of peace happiness does not mean laughing and being jovial. Happiness is a point where you feel your life is being fulfilled. Language contributes to how we adapt and contributes to the environment's organization for survival and happiness. Because our world has changed, we may need to use more modern language and updated environmental responses. It may be time for an update.
Do you feel the need to be perfect in every area of your life? Does your lack of self-acceptance keep you energetically drained most days of your life? If you have ever struggled with coming to a place of radical acceptance, then this episode is for you.
Joining me today is Caitlin Billings, author of the book In Our Blood. Caitlin thought she could neatly walk away from her past, until a hold-up at gunpoint breaks her carefully balanced world apart. Suddenly, Caitlin is trapped by frightening mental health issues while raising two young children. Part coming-of-age, part reckoning of motherhood, In Our Blood is a therapist’s honest account of professional and personal struggles and an intergenerational story of acceptance, self-love and fluidity.
In this episode, Caitlin and I talk about perfectionism, trauma and the path to healing. Caitlin shares her journey and I also touch on some of the things I have been through. We talk about the impact stories have on our path to healing, why we don’t have to feel the need to do it all and how we can build a practice of realistic skills to move towards self-acceptance.

More about the book, In Our Blood: From the author, Caitlin Billings “In Our Blood has been described as “raw, real, and naked before the world”. I’m a mother and a helping professional, two identities with pressure to be perfect, competent, and self-sacrificing. I’m pushing back and saying nope, that’s not real life. I’m sharing my personal account of understanding the meaning of radical acceptance not from an intellectual or spiritual practice perspective, but from the mouth of a messy, complicated survivor of the human experience.”
More about Caitlin Billings: Caitlin Billings lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her family. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and has a thriving therapy practice specializing in complex trauma. She is working on her second book.

You have heard me say, “marketing and sales and two very different things.” For me and my business, I feel like since COVID, marketing and rising above the noise has gotten even harder.
Also, I keep hearing more and more about my personal and business brand and am always reading and learning so I understand what all these terms and strategies are all about so I can choose wisely and showcase who I am and how I serve my clients. It doesn’t seem to end!
When it comes to Marketing, there's been so much emphasis on "keeping up," and fitting in. But in a sea of noise and sameness...how can you truly stand out?

When you’re part of a couple, you have a built-in scapegoat. It is really easy to look at your partner and find all kinds of reasons to not just blame them for the problems in your relationship but also for your own behavior. You want them to take responsibility for their actions but can find it uncomfortable to take ownership of yours. This often leads to a lack of trust and respect, which can lead to the end of your marriage. So how do you get off the “blame” train? Speaker, coach, actor, and author James Mapes reveals the steps you can take to stop this destructive habit.
If you find yourself on either side of the “blame game”, Lesli can help. Please share the show on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
God tells us there are only two groups, sheep and goats. Can this be true? Maybe, we should reason with what He has told us about these two groups.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Nicola Yoon
“For most immigrants, moving to a new country is an act of faith. Even if you've heard stories of safety, opportunity, and prosperity, it's still a leap to remove yourself from your own language, people, and country. Your own history. What if the stories weren't true? What if you couldn't adapt? What if you weren't wanted in the new country?”

Check Out These Highlights: Growing up in a very Italian household, provided different perspectives for me that my friends who grew up in households where their parents were American-born didn’t have.
My dad was an engineer by trade and had his own Engineering firm for decades. He has always been my idol and the lessons learned from him are profound and still serve me today as a business owner for over 2 decades.
Growing up and having this very different perspective, from my friends and colleagues, is why I choose to host two podcasts. I love sharing other brilliant guests’ perspectives to help you navigate whatever change you are facing by helping you expand or gain a new perspective that may be hiding in your blind spot.

Mamie and her brother Spanky harbor a deep illicit passion for each other but as you might expect, their longings hold grave consequences. This Scandalous version of Newsgram is based on the book LINKAGES By Elaine Chandler-Harris
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
This is gonna be a spicy one! Do we need a disclaimer? I don’t think so but get ready because we are dealing with toxic relationships on the show today and it may seem at times to be disturbing because we are taking about forbidden love, abuse, Incest and some very….complicated relationships.
Elaine Chandler-Harris - It happens more often than we would ever want to admit and no, we don’t talk about those things.
It’s estimated that incest occurs in 10-15% percent of families, its hard to say for sure because only a small number of them are reported although it appears that in 2020 we saw a rise in reported cases — I’m guessing that is another Covid inspired disaster but Elaine Chandler-Harris has taken a unique approach to addressing these topics. She wrote a book, purely fiction mind you but it’s based on very real issues.
Here (‘ll read you the synopsis. It's from the author's website www.elainechandlerharris.com. “The saga unfolds to reveal that Mamie and her brother Spanky harbor a deep illicit passion for each other. After they are separated, Mamie marries another man and tries to let go of her desires. After some time, Mamie and Spanky are reunited but find that their longings hold grave consequences for everyone concerned. Through a carefully detailed plot, it is revealed how Mamie’s daughter, Lottie also becomes involved with Spanky and dramatizes how this additional relationship brings great pain and confusion to both Lottie and Mamie.” Did you follow that?
Elaine Chandler-Harris - I set aside all my moral issues about it, all my prejudices about it and I wrote it from the standpoint of people being in love; The love of a sister for her brother. A love of a niece for her aunt because without the love element I saw no way for this sort of relationship to exist.
The world can be a very dark, complicated place. Some of things I once couldn’t imagine, I find out later are not only happening but have been going on for quite some time. Her book is called LINKAGES and it’s definitely geared toward mature readers. It tells the story of two women who are hopelessly consumed by their abuser in a way that is unique and difficult to define and it examines three generations of a family with a very dark secret.
Elaine Chandler-Harris - We’ve got to find strength within ourselves. Life is not easy. We face situations and difficulties that we never expect. And, women we can’t afford to crumble. We can’t afford to just fall apart and not get back up.
Elaine is a very brave author and I’d love to go into more detail but since this is a work of fiction it would be easy for me to ruin it for you. I can tell you that in her professional life, among other things she was a high-school teacher so she had first hand contact with teenage girls.
Elaine Chandler-Harris - Teenaged girls are so abused and in teaching that reinforced that fact for me. The uncles, the dates, the strangers. I would ask in my classroom how many girls were virgins. Out of twenty five kids I may have three girls who are virgins and we’re talking about thirteen and fourteen year old girls. It disturbs me greatly. So there are consequences beyond our understanding, beyond our knowledge of what goes on with our teenage girls.
Historically women have been submissive to men. Fortunately, I see signs everyday that that is changing but we have room to grow. Evolution takes time but every time we shine a light on these issues and discuss them openly, I think we get closer to putting them behind us. Am I being naive? Maybe. Anyway, if you’re interested in an exploration into how women become involved in abusive relationships and why they stay,
John Omar Vieira was born in 1970 in Guyana, formerly British Guyana, a country on South America’s north Atlantic coast. The country’s heritage is steeped in British history and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, but it’s cultural ties are mainly connected to the Caribbean. This densely rain forested country was home for John until he was six when he left for the UK. John currently lives in London.
John’s father John Clement Vieira and mother Isha Khan where both born in Guyana, but his mother coming from a large family as opposed to being a sole child like his father had Mongolian ancestry. His grandfather on his father’s side came from the Portuguese speaking Island of Madeira, so John’s cultural inheritance is quite varied.
Most of us have an enjoyable childhood leading on to adolescence and young adulthood, but John’s early years were not so idyllic, far from. John was often in trouble with the Westminster police, for stealing, and shop lifting to fund his opium and alcohol addictions. In the book when he’s talking about his early raucous days, he likens himself to a,’ little villain.’ he goes on to refer to himself as a liar, a cheat as well as other ill-named characteristics. At times his spirally out of control life led to prolonged spates of homelessness.
John realised that he had mental issues, he sought help from numerous organisations, and like many people who find themselves caught up in this horrendous vortex, some organisational support momentarily took a way the pain, while others clearly didn’t work, and he would often relapse. For John salvation was found in the guise of the Christian Science faith all stemming from a book he read by Mary Baker Eddy,’ Science and Health with a Key to the Scriptures.’ This was a turning point for John he understood and embraced the teachings of Christian Science faith based on biblical texts. John firmly believes Christian Science faith and that community, saved him from the path of despair, saved him from what he saw as Dementia, hence the title of the book,’ Saved from Dementia.’
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/lyvdxyTc7lM
The book is exquisitely written, for me literature at it’s best, John talks about his life, his conversion to the Christian Science faith, his deep understanding of that faith all based on biblical teachings mainly from the King James’ Bible version. A lot of the first part of the book which he heads up, ‘My Life,’ is written in short essay format, the second part of the book which is less intense John has headed up as, ‘My Freedom,’ and when you read it which I hope you do, you’ll see why he heads it up, ‘My Freedom.’
This is a powerful thought-provoking spiritual book, exquisitely written by a man who has battled many troubled issues in his life, and is still living with mental issues, but with his faith at the very heart of his life, his life is on a more even keel these days.
John thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to you and read your influential book.

https://www.amazon.com/Saved-Dementia-John-Omar-Vieira/dp/1543492150
Athanasios (Athan) Panayotou is a young author from Northern Ireland and as his surname suggests he has Greek ancestry which stems from his father’s side of the family. He was born 26 years ago in Whitehead a small coastal village on the east coast of County Antrim not far from Belfast. Throughout his short life he has seen and experienced Northern Ireland’s troubled past and despite the Good Friday Agreement the tensions between the communities still bubbles close to the surface. Despite his Greek lineage I was surprised to learn that Athan is the only one in his family who has a Greek name, his parents have English names so does his brother and sister.
When you chat to Athan you soon realise that the origins of his book stem back to his childhood and teenage days, for as a youngster he was heavily drawn to comic books and Pop culture. For years he doodled, sketched on any bit of paper he could find, his drawing pads are full of illustrated characters that he has created from his own imaginary conceptions and when you look at the book, you’ll see a fair number of illustrations supporting the story line. Another compulsion of Athan’s was his near obsession with superhero films particularly films depicting conflict. At the age of Seventeen Athan drew upon all his interests and started to etch out the basics for this book.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/kvScOi_xXXU
When you look at the book itself it’s about a group of youngsters who live on the edge of life and society. Athan uses characters who wouldn’t be missed. The abductions that take place for the experimental purposes of Elliot’s FOG project are graphically horrific but having said that they do enhance the storyline of this semi-utopian world Athan has created set in 2183 in Quantum City. I could tell you what the project is about but that would defeat the whole object of the interview. If you want to know what the project is about then simply read the book, I can’t say fairer than that. What I can say without revealing or giving too much of the plot away is that some of the scientific experiments carried out by Elliot Alexander’s scientists on the abducted victims initially start out as appearing to be successful but then go horrendously wrong even going against Elliot’s entire ethics. Kerys and Felix are siblings who succumb to Elliot’s controlling scientific tests, but the powers Kerys one of the main characters develops turns her into a manic out of control psycho-killer. The book has many dark sinister underlying sub-plots, something you would expect from an author delving into the Si-Fi genre for the first time with more books to follow.
Is Elliot a good or destructive character and what of the Character Natasha and others that add value to this exciting storyline with all it’s twists. I have my views, and no doubt once you’ve read the book, you’ll have yours.

The book is a personal spiritual guide that walks with the readers to remove self-ignorance and realize higher self. It explains about pain and suffering, the blissful higher self and spiritual powers. In this book, the universe is called “existence.” The word existence is used because the universe exists within us and around us; the universe is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.
Every human being has an innate light of consciousness. When people realize and connect with their conscious divine self, they gain wisdom, clairvoyance and spiritual intelligence. A deep, intimate relationship with existence gradually leads people to higher consciousness, self-realization, liberation and bliss.
Self-realization or realizing the oneness with existence becomes a challenge when one is buried in self-ignorance, and sandwiched between a restless and hectic life. The chapters aim to help readers overcome daily battles and lead them to self-knowledge, serenity and success. The book emphasizes the sacred role of meditations in awakening the light of consciousness. It offers three guided meditations for the readers. This book is a great spiritual companion for anyone with the courage and fervent will to dive into the ocean of cosmic consciousness.

Living with Bipolar is never easy but there are ways to have a good life and deal with the illness. This episode focuses on the book One In One Hundred, Living With Bipolar by Lorna Mabry and her husband Pete Smart.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
According to the National Health Service in England 1 in every 100 people will be diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder at some point in their life and it does not discriminate. It seems an equal number of men and women develop the illness and it is found in all ages, races, ethnic groups and social classes.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, here in the US, 5.7 million Americans are diagnosed every year. And according to the Harvard Medical School, that's 2.8% of the entire United States population.
All that being said, the least we can do is pay a little attention to it on this edition of Newsgram and a great way to do that is to introduce you to Peter Smart. On June 26th 2020 while the world was reeling with a global pandemic Peter lost his wife to cancer.
Peter Smart - The worst day of my entire life.
He is now releasing a book called One In One Hundred, Living With Bipolar written by his late wife Lorna Mabry who originally wrote it to help other people living with bipolar disorder.
Peter Smart - Lorna started researching it in 2011 and it was surprising how much research she actually did. She used to work on it for hours and hours and hours.Sometimes till six in the morning still looking something up on the internet. So she’d print information off or write information down, read lots of books and then all through the book she sent illustrated by using examples from her own illness and treatment. That was about a two year job and then we started typing it. That was even longer and unfortunately our computer crashed so it had to wait. And then in early January 2020 Lorna had gone to the Doctors about pain in her mouth, lumps in her throat . Eventually then we got sent to see a specialist and he told Lorna that it was actually tongue cancer and secondary cancers in the mouth, neck and throat but then Covid really hit Leicester at that time. March 2020 Leicester was the Covid capital of the country and so her operation got cancelled.
The Covid virus has had so many implications that it’s going to take years to sort them all out. Fortunately Lorna and Peter were able to save her research and release it to help others. One In One Hundred, was written by someone with first had experience with Bi Polar Disorder - so it’s easy to understand and relate to. In addition to some useful information, you also get some insight into Lorna as a person and I think it’s that human element that sets this book apart. In it she writes….
Peter Smart - Each day is a challenge and its difficult for me. Some people who suffer from this illness don’t have many good days but just experience bad days. I am more positive and confident about everyday life whereas when I was down I was really negative. When I first got sick in December 1999 I was more or less in a hopeless state, however this is nobody’s fault and it was just a freak of nature. I don’t get many manic episodes now, only when I sing. I get very elated, high and I can’t seem to come down to earth. Apart from suffering from depression I also suffer from panic attacks mainly when I go out which isn’t very often. My GPS prescribed me Propranolol which seems to suit and I carry this tablet wherever I go.

Join me as we peek into the psyche of a murderer! This psychological thriller edition of Newsgram is based on the book I Am Kellie Earl: Peace Carries A Cost by Maggie Charters.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Today we’re going to look inside the mind of a murderess. Her name is Kellie Earl. She lives inside the Fairlea Women's Prison. She used to live inside the mind of author, educator and retired Social Worker Maggie Charters.
Maggie Charters - My characters are always dealing with mental health issues which is what happens to Kellie Earl and that’s her downfall.
Her new book is called I Am Kellie Earl: Peace Carries A Costhere is the prologue….
Exposed and naked, I stood in one of the prison's white-washed shower cubicles. There were full-height walls on both sides, and a waist-high swing door to preserve some modesty. The single head shower had a mind of its own, with both the temperature and water pressure fluctuating at will. Now warm water gently splashed onto my long, grey-flecked hair. I considered that, at forty five years of age, I was too young to start showing signs of aging. But sometimes nature and attitude don't match. And besides, inside Fairlea Women's Prison I didn't have access to Andre, my private hairdresser of many years.
As I pushed any feelings of regret and self-pity to the back of my mind, the warm liquid washed away the dust I'd collected in my daily walk around the concrete yard. It snaked down my lithe frame. It cleansed my body, but not my mind.
The persistent dirt that caked my reasoning was untouched. Water has no impact on the grime that festers in your soul, and pusses your eyelids together till no one can look inside.
They say that your eyes are the windows of your soul. So maybe I don't have a soul. But that explanation is too simple. And my story is far from simple….
Maggie Charters - Because I’m interested in psychology and philosophy I’ve got a lot of philosophy in it cause when Kellie’s in prison she has time to read books on philosophy and she sort of tries to analyze the prisoners and while she’s doing that it gives the reader insight into what the philosophers used to think in days of old and how their thinking is still relevant today. We’re still the same as we were hundreds of years ago. We still feel the same emotions so everything that was written centuries ago is still very relevant today.
Kellie is a child of the fifties living in Melbourne Australia, the same place and time that the Victorian Government built the state's first all-female prison. Maggie did some extensive research for this book. The attention to historic detail had me thinking this was a real story.
Maggie Charters - No it’s not true, not at all. All the characters, and there are some very dark characters. We come to life, we see behind their foil we see you know what sort of led them to their downfall like in the prison system you know and I tried to show people that there’s good in everyone and don’t judge a book by its cover. So when we meet people with problems in the prison system and outside of the prison system, I try to let the readers see behind them, what led to their downfall and what caused their psychological challenges, for want of a better word.
One of those psychological challenges” she referred to is perhaps the abusive influence that changed Kellie Earl into Miss Zed, a cold-hearted murderer.
Maggie Charters - Well Kellie Earl she’s a writer and she finds that writing stories from an early age is her escape mechanism because she has an abusive stepfather. He sexually abuses her and she can’t tell her mother because they are financially dependent on him so Kellie writes stories. That’s her defense mechanism from her harsh world and she’s really good at it and she wins awards and when she gets married she gets out of the home she writes books, best-selling books but when her husband dies you know her whole world falls apart and ultimat...
The book is totally fiction, but should make you laugh as you imagine your brothers, cousins or local boys in the same situations that the boys in the book find them in. Although I don’t think you should try any of the techniques on a boy, as it would be terribly embarrassing for him.
The book starts with various sections, about controlling boys by various girly means – a how-to guide and also various suggestions of things to do with them, when under your control, before reading the stories themselves.
The main section contains about 12 stories, with boys of ages from 6 to 12 or so, but one story about male chauvinist Tom and his sweet young sister Pam permeates through the book intertwining the other stories with Tom being more and more embarrassed at what Pam makes him do.

Lately, I have been reflecting on my life, career, business, and level of success. Being in sales for 40 years I have the expertise to teach others the art and skill of having dynamic and effective sales conversations that convert to business.
How did I get to this level of skill? Great question!
In the past decade, I have realized that hard work is a piece of the puzzle. Hard work alone doesn’t guarantee a positive outcome. In fact, I feel like the more I pushed forward with determination and effort, when things weren’t going as planned it sometimes made the bad situation even worse.
Being a lifelong learner and interviewing amazing guests on my two podcasts, I get to hear and learn every day about energy, manifestation, slowing down to speed up, and mindfulness.
These were not concepts that I had learned or used during the first 10 years of my business. Now it is the cornerstone of every decision I make.
This is such an important topic and today my guest is Christy Whitman, No relation, who is going to help us break down 7 Steps to manifest any desire.

It’s so true. We were all born to stand out and share our gifts with the world. Yet, I know I have played safe and small over the years as I grew my confidence and my expertise – for me – in sales!
Promoting my business and myself took some practice and help from experts in the PR and advertising world. I believe we can’t do everything that is needed in running and growing a business, especially when it comes to PR and advertising.

Happy Fall! As a small extra, the Crone talks about the Autumnal Equinox which has just passed. The idea that it can be considered a time to pause and remember the ideal of balance which is a major focus of The Path Tradition is important along with its mirror image in the Spring season. We are moving steadily into the Dark Half of the Year where we often turn to projects that have a more internal or contemplative focus, a time to study and gain new knowledge after finishing up our more outward activities from the Light Half of the Year.

How will we ever learn to love like God if we are unwilling to reason with Him? God explains how He loves and asks us to love as He does in John 13:34. The Bible is God's love letter to us, teaching us what love is and how to love others.
This week, Gina explains the importance of standing tall. And the three key questions to improve your life.
Her passion and attention to alignment started on the (yoga) mat two decades ago. Not only did she notice how good it made her body feel during her practice – she realized as an instructor, that her students were enjoying improvements in many areas of their life.
Today she takes that a couple steps further. She adds how to emotionally align and mentally align.
Listen in to learn how each of these layers enhances your physical health, your mental health, your appearance and in turn, other facets of your life.
There’s more to standing tall than simply being blessed with height and practicing great posture.
She also shares tips that will help you answer three key questions SO you can start standing (even) TALLER today.
When you use one, a combination, OR ALL three ways… you’ll quickly find you become a great leader.
As a leader, you impact your loved ones, family, and friends in the most positive and powerful way. You allow them to discover their internal strengths SO they too stand proudly.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not economic political or societal just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Sandra Shaw author of Evelio’s Garden a self described naturalist who has spent the last twenty nine years in Costa Rica sharing a remembrance that captures one woman’s connection to nature and becoming aware of how important it is to take care of your own dreams and needs as well as our environment.
As listeners of ``Healing From Within” are well aware, my guests and I share intimate stories and insights helping us to awaken more fully to the true nature of our duality and begin to explore energy and our soul essence so we may live more fully in the physical world of nature man and Spirit.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within author Sandra Shaw will share her friendship with Evelio in Costa Rica who helped her create an organic garden. In the difficult year battling unpredictable weather, wild animals and toxic chemicals their friendship grew and Evelio taught Sandra about the sustainability of rural Costa Rica in decades past. Their relationship and many other relationships led Sandra to open up to her difficult past and combine hers with Evelio’s stories creating profound personal change for both of them.
When Sandra is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that might have signaled to her or to others around her what interests lifestyle or work she would pursue as an adult for often the story of one’s life is seen early on Sandra writes, “I remember the sound and smell of a northern October a sneaky gust of air bearing the chill scent of winter to-come, skittering dry leaves across the road, swirling around my legs and rattling my paper bag, as I plodded along on Halloween nights to the clutch of houses a mile down the road. I had an inkling of that same wind last night. Was my little sister Alison in tow on those Halloween nights? Surely, although I wouldn’t have taken her hand. It says a lot about the time and place – 1958, rural Pennsylvania – that our parents allowed two little girls to walk a mile and back on a dark, deserted country road for Halloween treats. We had no fear. But our parents weren’t paying much attention to us anyway, because they were in a crisis – the biggest one yet – which was to bring major changes for all of us for decades to come.
Meals were taken in heavy quiet at the kitchen table, the family silenced by our father’s tight-lipped rage. Being the elder sister, I assumed that he was angry at me. It didn’t help that in the late afternoons I would find Mom leaning against the back of the sofa, reading, feet propped on the coffee table, with a beer-mug full of gin and tonic at her side. We didn’t learn until we were in our twenties what the nature of that distant marital crisis was – our mother’s infidelity unmasked – although throughout our teens, my sister and I each harbored our unspoken suspicions. It is a judgmental age; so easy to blame, so difficult to see into the hurting heart of another, especially a parent. Alison and I carried this sense of betrayal – and in my case, the fear that I was doomed to be like our mother – into later life, when, in our separate ways, we could finally see that her love for us was greater than our grief.
Alcoholics are emotional abusers – they can’t help it, it’s all they know. They pull you into their vortex and make you feel responsible for everything that’s wrong, especially their illness. So you try rescue after rescue, which inevitably fails, and the failures mount up so high that it’s impossible to feel good about yourself, about anything. To rescue my own sinking soul, I had to break away.
Jerry Brook is the only author who did not write a book. After yet another failed relationship, he had finally decided that it was time to throw in the towel. He had failed again and not just subtly, but miserably.
After this failed relationship, Jerry threw himself into his work and began studying Artificial Intelligence. The question he had to ask was, “What is intelligence and what does it mean to be intelligent?” The short answer is decision making. That only led him to then ask, “What is the correct way to make decisions?” It was during learning about decision making that he had an epiphany, an aha moment.
Jerry discovered he was making bad decisions in his relationships based on incorrect information. He had asked for, and gotten advice from, family and friends alike. Jerry would even go as far as to read magazine articles from supposed experts on the topic. There is an old saying in the world of computers, “Garbage in, Garbage out” meaning if you start with, or input, unusable information, the computer will return unusable information. What’s more, he realized that was undoubtedly the same thing that his relationship partners were doing as well.
Jerry’s book, Good Together: A Journey Through Relationships, is a collection of the notes that he made to himself: what he did, what he didn’t do, and what he could have done better. Jerry also created an app, The Good Together Game, as an easy, actionable, way for people to forge better bonds and have better relationships.
Jerry and I cover so much in this interview! We talk about how to make better relationship decisions, why you need to define your needs vs. wants (which lead to your expectations), what a healthy relationship is (and isn’t) and how day-to-day interactions impact our relationships. Jerry explains why conventionial wisdom (or wis-dumb as he calls it) is flat out wrong and how you can start doing differently instead. There is life changing information awaiting you in this episode and Jerry explains it in such a clear and easy way. If you are looking to improve your romantic, business or personal relationships, do not miss this episode!

More About Jerry Brook: Speaker and Author Jerry Brook, the Good Together Guru, fuses his relationship experience with a background in analytics to help others maintain better relationships. As an Industrial Computer Controls Specialist, Jerry’s experience in problem solving and analytical thinking inspired him to look at relationships in a new and unique way. In addition, he also draws on his own personal relationships to offer practical, intelligent, and sometimes funny relationship stories and advice.
Jerry chronicled his personal relationship failures, what he did, why he did it, and what he could have done differently, in his book, Good Together: A Journey Through Relationships. One of the more profound things that he discovered is that the prevailing relationship information, advice, and conventional wisdom, is not simply inaccurate, in some instances it can be harmful to the users.
He is the one and only Relationship Coach who is anti-conventional wis-dumb, and who refrains from giving relationship advice. Instead, he focuses on the practical, not the fanciful. He believes in teaching others about relationships, not telling them about relationships. He shows you the why and how, but he does not tell you the what. If you know the why and the how you can determine the what. It is your relationship to define, not his to dictate.
He is so serious about helping people with finding, building, and maintaining healthy relationships that he created The Good Together Game app, a game with a purpose. The Good Together Game app removes much of the stresses associated with forging better relationship bonds.
Jerry currently lives in Houston, Texas. You can download The Good Together Game App,

God’s love is amazing and can work miracles. The power of faith can overcome all. In It’s Amazing! Dorothy Melton provides a guide for readers, based on passages from the bible, to spread the gospel, avoid sin and temptation and strengthen their faith and walk with God.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
I have been trying hard to embrace gratitude lately and you know what? It’s not that hard. We have so much to be grateful for, especially when you think about the little things like our most basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter. My health is good and I’m no longer dealing with a disaster.
Disaster is a pretty dramatic word and it can mean different things to different people depending on what happened to you. I was recently in a car accident and everything is fine now but it sure felt like a disaster when I was dealing with the repercussions. Our guest today, Dorothy Melton was a victim of child sexual abuse — a true disaster. She wrote a book about it called “Your destiny is greater than your disaster” but that’s not what we are here to talk about today. It’s one of her other books called It’s Amazing! the one she says the Lord directed her to write.
Dorothy Melton - The heavenly father spoke to me one day because he wanted me to spread his word and with the title of the book It’s Amazing, my heavenly father also gave me that title so that’s what I did.
Dorothy says she wrote this book to help people understand the word of God.
Dorothy Melton - Yea and I'm not talking about one aspect of life I’m talking about everything that is written in the bible. Our life reflects that that’s our life that’s that life God wants us to live. We were born in inequity. We were born on this earth. We made our bed and when God’s word comes forward we don’t wanna move our bed because we got too comfortable in it. We've got to move with him because I don't want to be left behind. I want to walk with him. I don’t want to walk behind him, I want to walk beside him.
In the book she shares a number of biblical passages in an effort to help readers to understand that God’s love is amazing and that it can work miracles. You just gotta have faith.
Dorothy Melton - But let me tell ya, the only we gonna get to heaven is we gotta do what God tells us. We can’t lean on our own understanding. We don’t know anything when it comes to God. We don’t know what we’re gonna have to go through but he knows. We serve a God that loves us so much. He died on the cross for our sins. He took upon the sin of the world. He didn’t know no sin. He took upon our sin that we might have a free life, free from slavery. That we might have a life of repentance. We gotta stay strong. This world is coming to an end and you know everything is like…the world is turned bottom side up. Wrong is right and right is wrong. This is ridiculous but you know, God’s word will prevail.
The world has turned bottom side up. I love that. If it feels that way to you then maybe you should have a look at Dorothy’s new book “It’s Amazing. Here are some closing thoughts….
Dorothy Melton (A reading) God wanted his disciples to spread the word and save souls. If they don’t want to listen, go to the next person that will listen. God cares about what we go through and he loves us so much. Jesus said my people are destroyed by lack of knowledge. We’ve got to believe in God and trust him to do what he said he would do. God said the battle is not ours, the battle belongs to God. As you deal with older people. Treat them with respect. God let us go to his trial to make us strong and to build up our faith. Do not mock God’s people. When we are mocking God’s people we are mocking God. God wants us to put him first in our lives. He does not want us to put idols before him. He is the only God. When we follow Christ we will be persecuted. Jesus said the whole world hated him, the world will hate you because you are my disciple.
This show addresses the important issue of mental Health. It is based on the book The Words of the Lost Soul by Rudo Savage. A powerful, humbling account of what it feels like to struggle with identity, purpose, direction and meaning in life. It is for anyone who has ever felt completely lost in life with no direction, meaning or sense of purpose.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Have you ever felt completely and utterly lost? You look around and see all kinds of people that just seem to have it all figured out. How do they do it? You want to admire them but inside it just makes you feel more lost and confused. You look for answers and no-one can help. They try but nothing they say hits home. You feel mentally unstable but the idea of talking about your mental health is frightening. In fact life can be so hard sometimes that the thought of checking out on the whole thing starts to feel like a pretty good idea. I’m not trying to bring you down with the saddest episode of Newsgram ever recorded — quite the opposite. If any of this hits home you need to understand that it’s ok to feel this way.
Rudo Savage (The Illness) I think it’s part of the mental illness as well. You think that you are the only person that feels this way. You’re the only one that has these negative feelings. You feel quite isolated. It’s obvious the mind is lying to you. The emotions are lying to you. You’re not alone. You’re not the only one but I think it’s important to realize that is part of the illness as well.
So true. That is Rude Savage, author of the book The Words of the Lost Soul. Mental health is an illness and it’s treatable and there is no shame in talking about it. If you will indulge me for a few minutes I want to read you a letter from her….
I want my readers to have an understanding that there is no shame in struggling with mental health, and that it is so important to be open about this. I was so ashamed to admit that I was struggling because I had a reputable career, and I was a mother. I assumed opening up about this issue would make others see me in a certain way such as weak, dramatic or abnormal. Also, somebody who was unable to do their job or a bad mother. The irony of the situation is that it was more detrimental not to be open and ask for the help that I needed. As the overwhelming emotions continued to increase leading onto me nearly losing my life as I lost control to be able to hide what I felt within. I have found from opening up that it is very clear that a lot more people struggle with these issues than initially thought. Many people actually show compassion and an interest in the topic because of this.
Secondly, I would want them to have an understanding that everyone’s life paths are beautiful and unique. I always felt stigmatized because I was a single mother of three children that I had failed. That I wasn’t doing it properly and was punishing my children for raising them alone. I feel society still makes us feel as though a family should consist of two united parents. Although, I have never doubted how wonderful this actually is having grown up with this myself from my parents. I also doubted the fact that families can be wonderful however they are formed or present. Especially with the changing times we do see a difference in the stereotypical united parents family setting. And this is okay. And I want to apply this way of thinking to my readers with regards to whatever chapter they are in in life or whatever path they are currently on.
I felt at 30 years old I still had no idea where I wanted to be or who I wanted to be! I was unmarried, all of my relationships were ending in rejection, I was mentally unstable, I had many debts, I lived in a city that made me feel more and more lifeless each day. I would see others around me getting married, having children whilst in a unified relationship and buying houses. I was not like them, and I punished myself every day for this.
God wants his disciples to spread his words and save souls. If they don’t want to listen, go to the next person that will listen. God will give his children the desire of their heart, just trust him and believe in him. God cares about what we go through, and he loves us so much.
Jesus said my people are destroyed by lack of knowledge. We got to believe in God, and trust him to do what he said he would do. God said the battle is not ours, the battle belongs to God. As you deal with older people treat them with respect. God let us go through trials to make us strong, and to build up our faith. Do not mock God, people. When you mock God people you are mocking God. God wants us to put him first in our lives. He does not want us to put idols before him. He is the only God. Jesus said don’t look for signs, and don’t spend time looking at other people. Look at Christ. When you follow Christ you will be persecuted.
Jesus said the world hated him, the world will hate you because you are my disciples. God coming will be swift and sudden. Do not fear, do not worry about tomorrow. Fear is the??? spirit. Do not judge others, treat others like you want to be treated. O my God do the judging. God can set you free to be the person he created you to be. God cannot be fooled by satan. Trouble falls on the just and unjust. Curiosity can cause us to stumble. We must commit ourselves to God, including our families, giving it all to God. God can use anyone to carry out his plan. To defeat Satan we need the Holy Spirit. We should pray for believers in Christ. Pray for the churches around the world.
Never think that you are too young or too old to be of service to God. Through Christ you have been given the gift of salvation. God does not cause people to sin. God's word will stand forever. It is what you say and what you think that makes you unclean.

Retirement - is it a wasteland or a wonderland? Ruth, Trudy and some other baby-boomers they meet along the way, are about to find out. Drawn together by a love of music, they form a ukulele band which takes them on a journey far beyond their original intention of giving free concerts in nursing homes.
They face challenges common to their age group but this feel-good fiction is designed to put a smile on the reader’s face. Set in Auckland, New Zealand, its message is universal; that there is life after hanging up one’s work boots.
About Sue Dawson: Sue Dawson lives in Napier, New Zealand. Although she is retired, plays in a ukulele band for fun, loves going for walks and has three adorable grandchildren, she insists this is not her story (fantasy, maybe). She is the author of one previous book called ‘Back on the Shelf’. She loves writing, when she finally sits down to it, but it was only after retiring that she felt she had the time and space in her head to write another book.

Eleanor Riley is an American author presently living in Brooklyn, New York in the USA. She was born however in a remote and quiet district of Peter’s Vale in Westmoreland Jamaica. Eleanor has been married to Apostle Cecil. G. Riley a pastor in the same church, they have been blessed with two daughters Elizabeth and Esther who are now grown up, fled the nest to speak forging their own career paths. Church for both Eleanor and her pastor husband Cecil has been at the very core of their lives, for Eleanor this stemmed from the days of her youth in Jamaica attending Sunday School at the Church of the First Born in May Pen. God’s infinite presence Eleanor has always felt throughout her whole life none more so than the day the Holy Spirit lifted her from her seat in Church back home in Jamaica and took her to the altar, that day was a pivotal day in her young life, it was the day she took up the mantle to serve God by what ever means or ability.
Eleanor is the second of nine children all born in Jamaica, not only is she an author but she is also an international recording Gospel artiste with a total of twelve CDs in her collection. She has a bachelor’s degree in Theology & Musicology, has done bookkeeping and is also a qualified Cosmetologist (Beautician to you and me).
‘Out of Evil,’ is another one of Eleanor’s books published again By Trafford Publishing, that book was published in December 2020 just before ‘Rungs on my Ladder.’ January 2021. Maybe Eleanor decided like many authors in Covid lockdown to get her spiritual books written and published.
Let’s look at Eleanor’s book ‘Rungs on my Ladder.’ For me this book is a historical transition of Eleanor’s personal life entwined with her spiritual life from her childhood to where she is today. A rise from that little girl sitting in the church pew back home in Jamaica to becoming First Lady in her church and spiritual community. The expectations and responsibilities that encompasses that role is something she takes seriously, a message that comes across very strongly in the book.

This evolutionary journey of Eleanor’s is beautifully written and told within the twelve chapters. Each chapter for me is a cross section of her life under the various headings but within those chapters are subdivisional sections she cleverly refers to as rungs, like the rungs of a ladder- hence the title. There are fifty-six rungs in the book each rung is a step in Eleanor’s life both personally and more importantly spiritually. For me this book is Eleanor’s ladder of life as she reaches out to her God. Most of us have heard of the game Snakes and Ladders and we all know what the snakes and ladders do. For most of us life has many snakes and ladders, joys and pitfalls and if you want to know more about the ups and downs of Eleanor Riley’s spiritual life! Well, you’ll have to buy the book. To do that you can click on the Amazon link below or head to her publisher’s webpage www.trafford.com bookstore/search Eleanor Riley.

The words in this book answer the question, who creates a new you? Of course, you do! Your transformation begins by forging a new view. To see life anew ignites an explosion in you. When your view of everything changes, everything changes for you.
The rhyming couplets found between the covers of this book show how our lives unfold as they do and how we can refocus our energies to establish new perspectives serving the wellbeing of all. Certainly, the unfamiliar for most people is far less comfortable than the well-known. However, exploring with rhyme, with its soothing rhythmic style, opens even the bedraggled, cluttered and corroded mind.
If you can fathom a new life for yourself beyond conventional wisdom and can realize a new life can come about by shifting your attention to new intentions, there is much to be gained in reading GIBBERRISHI’S PENETRATING RHYMES. You can get your copy of Gibberrishi’s Rhymes to Contemplate: Poetic Verse Moving You Into A New Life on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

Talk about narcissism seems to be all the rage right now. But clearly defining what it is and whether or not your married to someone who meets the qualifications is much harder than just throwing out the word. Having a clueless or a bit self-centered partner is frustrating but much less damaging than one who meets the specific criteria of narcissism. And the fix is much easier. Narcissistic Abuse Coach, Speaker and author Lynn Catalano explains what narcissism is and how to deal with it if it is present in your relationship.
If you are having struggles in your marriage the faster you address them the better. Lesli can help. Share this timely show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick, author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening. Many of us are aware there have been tremendous shifts in all events happening globally economically, politically and socially but the real challenge now is to realize these are not the problem. The real problem and challenge is a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Today Sheryl is delighted to welcome James Jensen, author of Expand the Power of Your Subconscious Mind who will help us harness the power of our subconscious mind to realize miracles and magic are not just quaint concepts but a way to manifest a purposeful and loving life experience.
As listeners of the show have discovered over the years my intuitive and imaginative guests seek a greater understanding of the true nature of our human and divine talents and gifts through understanding energy and how the mind heart and body contribute to a refining of our subconscious or soul essence for personal and collective advancement to higher levels of consciousness and a clearer understanding of the realities of life and energy as we define the duality of life as spiritual beings having a physical life.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” C. James Jensen draws upon decades of experience as an executive coach who draws upon his interaction with Dr. Joseph Murphy’s teachings- particularly his principles of the subconscious—how to harness it’s wisdom and power to manifest your deepest desires. James supplements Dr. Murphy’s ideas with modern day lessons and a toolkit of practices such as affirmations, visualizations, meditation and leadership skills.
Sheryl asks James what is in his background that makes him qualified to write this book exploring the discoveries by author Dr. Joseph Murphy written long ago as he discovered the principles of energy, the Law of Attraction and other metaphysical laws that allow us to align our spiritual energy with physical life. James tells us he began his career as one of the top salespeople for the publishing company Encyclopedia Britannica. At the age of twenty seven, he became vice president in charge of worldwide sales. He went on to become president and CEO of two other companies. Today he is providing executive coaching and advisory services to emerging growth and midsize companies. As an active member he serves as a life director for the Institute of Noetic Sciences which is an organization of scientific and spiritually minded gifted people who seek an understanding of the human and divine connection and how to transform our limited world view into an open -minded way to provide better lives for all citizens. James combined a business background and as he discovered the more mystical part of life he added that information to helping people use spiritual tools to improve life.
James goes on to talk about self-talk and why it is so important. The way we talk to ourselves constantly provides instructions to the subconscious or soul based part of us to ensure how we behave, but these instructions may not align with what we desire. How many times have you heard people say things like?
I can never remember names. I always get nervous when speaking to large groups. Or to their children: Why is your room such a mess? Why can’t you do things right? Once we realize what we say to ourselves (positive or negative) affects employees children and others we love, we can begin to change the data, transforming it into the positive outcome we truly desire
The subconscious manifests what we concentrate our conscious mind thoughts and makes them happen. So it is true that if we change our thoughts we can change our reality. We must pay attention to what thoughts we are allowing ourselves to engage with and if negative or harmful to us or others must disengage, not pay attention to if we wish to achieve different results.
When you hear the word partnership, what thoughts come into your mind? Please get into a comfortable position. I invite you to participate in this mindfulness practice by exploring our partnership with the elements of water and sky. Channel your thoughts and explore the relationships we have with water and the life forms that exist within the water. Then, consider the transformation of water into small particles forming clouds as it cycles through the water cycle. The clouds sail along the broad sky and allow our world to paint a canvas of our life participation. Our interactions with worldly elements would be beneficial when we treat our environment as living entities and care for each entity as a life form. Caring for those life forms begins with how we take care of ourselves, manage our calmness, and build a positive relationship through awareness of our surroundings, environment, and community. I hope you enjoyed this practice concentrate on your breath as you proceed through the elements and the activities of this month in this practice.

The byproduct is that I also get to hear and learn new strategies to help me with the changes I am navigating in my life and business.
Many of us know we need a change, an overhaul of the way we “do” life. We feel the need to move forward but we aren’t sure where to place our feet to take those first steps.
The learning and growing never ends and if we allow new ideas and strategies into our lives and then take the information shared and apply it…TODAY! I love seeing the magic that we can create together.

This week, Gina explains. how to be your OWN kind of champion.
Ever think of yourself as a champion? Would you like to begin thinking of yourself as a champion?
Whether you already think of yourself as a champion OR are ready to begin to, today’s conversation will prepare you (even) more.
We are constantly bombarded with messages we should join the crowd. Be like them. Give up parts of ourselves along the way. And in some parts of the world and in some cultures to be seen yet not heard.
Today’s journey starts at a time when being seen and not heard rang true around the world… for women… that is.
Listen to what one sure-fire, witty, whippersnapper REALIZED, KNEW, and DECIDED how to take positive action to break free such a mundane way of thinking.
She quickly set everyone straight. Earned their great respect. And accomplished ALL with grace, elegance, and poise… as a lady should.
Learn how her spirited ways stand strong in her belief can spark us to take simple action to do the same. Remain in our power, without rebelling. To be seen to be believed. AND most importantly to be seen for what we believe.
Because when we choose to be our OWN kind of champion. We become the change that we see missing in the world today.
AND that’s why you listen to such podcasts. Isn’t it?!
It’s because, YOU get it. You choose each day to better yourself. To discover & uncover your OWN kind of champion.
So, let’s jump right in.

God is building His kingdom. He is looking for volunteers who are willing to love like He does.
I say it each week on the show, how when we learn how to change our thoughts, we can change our lives. Until we are willing to look at how we are thinking about things, our lives tend to just stay on autopilot. Experiencing the same unhappy results day after day and wondering why we can’t seem to have anything different.
The way we put ourselves back in the driver's seat of our life is to start taking control of how we are thinking about things. Believe it or not, we don’t have to believe everything we think and every thought we think isn’t true! I know that is hard to believe, but it is actually true. In this episode, I share some recent examples of how to focus on getting what I wanted and the amazing results I got in a short amount of time. I also share the next steps after getting what you want and how you can disarm those thoughts in your head that want to tell you you can’t keep what you got, you're not good enough for it, etc.
This episode is a real life look at choosing to focus on a preferred reality, some simple steps of how you can do that and then how to retrain your mind to keep what you wanted so you can thrive in that space. My intention with this episode is for you to feel empowered in your new reality and be able to enjoy your life to the fullest!

I know I have blind spots when it comes to business. Especially when it comes to legal matters.
Just like many other business owners, I needed to hire an attorney to write my contracts for my corporate clients, the correct terms of agreement and Privacy policy on my website, and the list goes on.
My biggest fear is that I miss something that may come back to hurt me due to my innocents or ignorance. It won’t matter either.

Stephen D Jones is an American author from Kanas City in Missouri. As a writer he’s responsible for writing nine books. Stephen’s writings are predominately from a theologian background, hardly surprising as Stephen is a pastor from the Baptist ministry. He still plays an active role in the First Baptist Church of Kansas City where for nine years prior he has been a co-pastor ministering to the local community there. Both Stephen and his wife Jan have been preaching in the traditional ways of the Baptist faith for nigh on fifty years and consider themselves blessed to have two children Brian and Janelle and a further two grandchildren. Stephen’s ministry took him to several northern states of America, he cherished his work and the life of a pastor as it gave him many opportunities to talk about the Lord’s life and preaching’s something that remains at the core of his life today.
While serving the congregation of the First Baptist Church of Kansas City Missouri, he discovered the church was founded in 1855 and is now one of the oldest free standing Protestant churches founded in Kansas City. It is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches. Today the First Baptist Church of Kansas City associates itself as inter-generational as well as inter-racial with over ten different nationalities represented in the congregation.
While serving as pastor of Second Baptist Church in St Louis, MO, another historical church founded in 1833, Stephen discovered as he looked through the church archives, a book written by an earlier pastor, Rev Galusha Anderson, published in 1909. Researching the life of Galusha, Stephen quickly realised that this was a significant man and his life and his work within the Baptist faith was not only in his eyes heroic but so significant he decided to write this book as a biographical view on Galusha Anderson’s time as a pastor at the church during the American Civil War. For those of us not familiar with the American Civil War it was an internal war between the northern unionist states and the southern confederate states as the American nation moved to becoming the United States of America.
When you look at the book it’s all about one man’s trials and tribulations as a pastor in St Louis in extremely challenging times. The City of St Louis in Missouri was deemed in many respects to be a place of neutrality as the citizens whether they considered themselves unionists or confederates co-existed side by side, both in their daily routines and spiritual worship, nevertheless the tensions existed and preaching the word of God needed careful thought. The Book goes on to talk about the joys, the setbacks and personal losses of Rev Galusha Anderson. It’s stunningly written and very often Stephen cleverly reverts to local vocabulary that would have been spoken by the locals of that time.

For me this is a well-executed book, nicely written exposing part of the lifetime of one of America’s significant, though largely unknown theologians within the Baptist faith. When I look at the parallel lives of Galusha Anderson and Stephen D Jones, you do see similarities, they both were and are pastors in the Baptist faith, they went to the same seminaries to train, they both wrote and write books and despite the 160 years time difference both their ministries have and are still being carried out in times of political tension but not completely about the same issues, but issues of tension nevertheless within the communities they served and serve.
It's no wonder Stephen sees Galusha Anderson as a hero and chose to write about him.
Thank you, Stephen D Jones, for giving me the opportunity to talk to you about yourself and your book.

Murali Dharen was born in 1985 in Singapore of Tamil extraction. He freely admits childhood life for both his sister Hanu and him was a humble but caring upbringing. His father Uthaya kumar was a mechanic, his mother Punitha played an important role in family life as a homemaker. Like most people’s life Murali’s pathway was no exception and was very much a criss-cross affair, but despite the economic restrictions he faced he managed to put himself through higher education obtaining a bachelor’s degree with a post graduate dip in counselling and a master’s in social work specializing in couples and family therapy. Murali is married to Rathika who supports her father to run the family food business.
For the past decade Murali has been supporting, in a professional capacity, people to cope with life’s many challenges through various counselling strategies. For Murali these strategies involve various mediation practices to get people to examine and explore their inner consciousness’ to achieve both mental and spiritual healing drawn from his own empirical knowledge of martial arts, meditation and various yoga technics. Everyday he meditates and practices raja or kriya yoga to bring about a spiritual peace before heading off to counsel clients.
It would be fair enough of me to say that his book which he sees as a spiritual guidebook to merge peoples inner light with cosmic light- hence the subtitle- is very much drawn from both his personal and theoretical experiences. I have to say he has some very interesting viewpoints, so if you’re a person who already practices this lifestyle, I think you’ll be fascinated to read his book to unearth and digest his views, but to others like myself who don’t follow this way of life, I still recommend you read the book but keep an open mind for Murali has some interesting observations.
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/4rSJ_6dKZj8
The book itself has thirty-six chapters and the topical range he covers is phenomenal, just to give you an example he talks about creative elements of existence in the human body, metaphysical sleep, meditation in all its formats, the stages of consciousness, the purpose of self-reflection and many, many more fascinating areas within the realm of cosmic romance with existence. I certainly found his book both eye-catching and eye-opening, I even learnt what Cosmic Light was and what Murali refers to when he talks about “Existence.”
This was an enthralling read for me. Well done and thank you Murali.

In order to convey the best of emotions, I write for you. Today we peer into the mind of a poet named Ben, author of the book A Voyage of Mystery.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
This show is all about interesting people leading their lives in interesting ways. Today I want to introduce you to Ben. His name is Ben Hill but he just goes by Ben. Ben is not a rich man…well at least financially…but when it comes to life, he is wealthy beyond the dream of avarice and he is a poet.
Ben Hill - I love poetry, the environmental stuff I do. It’s for the general population. It’s for everyone around. This is all I want to do is cheer people up and not only that it took me to a new world when I was writing it.
Putting pen to paper for no other reason than to make people smile or think about simple things like a nail or a park bench. I love that. His new book of poems is called A Voyage of Mystery. Why?
Ben Hill - It took me to a new place when I wrote it.
You know, they say your dreams are a reflection of your waking life which might help explain his inspiration.
Ben Hill - I’m writing from my sleep. I get up and I can write a poem down in five minutes and just make little corrections that might be wrong. I do actually use a method of dreaming that allows me to remember most of my dreams. You know I don’t really got a name for it. It's like I woke up. I wrote three poems in ten minutes and they were done.
I hear this kind of thing all the time from musicians and other artists. It’s just how their mind works and we can all do it. If you don’t want to dream about writing poetry perhaps reading poetry will help you to dream.
Ben Hill - In my latest work I’ve come up with a new world. A world of dreams and in this world of dreams it is a possibility that this is where we go in a second life or a third life its about the should because i believe we all have d soul whether good or bad that passes on and that favors my work.
Ben has a unique voice, one that is thoughtful and heart-warming.
Ben Hill - I think there’s a lot more that one you’ll smile at and some you’ll laugh at and some you’ll look at and think, oooh a bit serious.
This one made me smile. Ben wrote a poem about a park bench and rusty nails. I mentioned it earlier.
Ben Hill - Something that is reused, you know and somehow you’re getting a double life out of it rather than just throwing it away.
Whether it’s an inanimate object or an aging human being, our society is quick to discard things and I think there’s great value in having a second look at pretty much everything we throw away. Whether it’s recycling from the source — should it even be made in the first place and if so could it be made different? Or, or just keeping an old park alive there is poetic justice in that. Here’s Ben with his poem “My Rusty Nail”
Ben Hill - Ben Reads his poem My Rusty Nail from A Voyage of Mystery.
His book contains 20979 words. Oddly specific you might be thinking — He says so online in the show's description — Ben writes about the high’s and low’s of everyday life. He writes about Love, the environment, and many other genres.
I didn’t want to go here but I think I’m gonna. Ben has a love for life that we would all be lucky to emulate. We take so much for granted especially when you realize that illness has been a constant in his life.
Ben Hill - I’m in a wheelchair so I haven’t got the freedom most people have got. I can’t drive. Ah, well, a wheelchair I can but, haha, at four miles an hour not gonna be fast.
Poetry is definitely something that he is good at. His poems are written from the heart, for you….and I’ll leave you with one last poetic statement before I get too carried away with poetic emotions. Ben says “Poems flow through me. I know not why? But when offered to the public. You are the voice of their merit.”

This edition of Newsgram is going to shine a spotlight on your life, your career and the key to it all “adaptation”. It is based on the book The 6Ixth Evolution: Managing Lives and Careers Through Convulsive Time by Dr. Larry G. Straub
Welcome.
Today we’re going to shine a spotlight on your life by taking a look at your career, your education and the key to it all, your ability to adapt.
Not sure if there’s a standardized definition of the term life-long learning but it usually refers to wisdom gained outside the boundaries of traditional education. No one stays in school forever but I’ve always thought it was important to have a natural curiosity; one that gives you a thirst for knowledge — and as you’ll see today, it’s not only important, it’s going to be your super-power in this changing world we are living in.
Dr. Larry Straub - We need to stay tough. We need to stay on our A-Game and we need to continue to grow and learn no matter what stage of life we’re in.
That is Dr. Larry Straub and he’s not kidding. I just took a look at my Social Security details. Have you done this yet? You can log onto SSA.Gov and have a look if you’re curious about what kind of benefits can you expect to receive when you retire. And…when is that. I’ll tell you. It means you get more money if you stay in the workforce longer — like 70. If that’s a bitter pill to swallow, buckle up.
Dr. Larry Straub - Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think people are going to have to work longer. This retirement at age 62 and 65, you know when those dates were set up they expected people to live another five years or seven years. They weren't set up for a society where people are averaging eighty plus years of age now and that’s continuing to increase. and frankly I don’t know that retirement is that good for us.
As hard as it is to hear that he does make a good point. The social security administration is willing to offer higher benefits if you stay in the work force up to age 70 but beyond the financial benefits working longer can also make you sharper. Dr. Larry Straub is the author of a ground-breaking book called The 6ixth Evolution: Managing Lives and Careers Through Convulsive Times.
Dr. Larry Straub - We need something to stimulate both socially, physically and intellectually and I think our brains they’ve proven we have these little tias, these mini strokes throughout our life. Well when you have that intellectual resiliency and you’re accountable for some results I think your brain builds new neural networks around those little dead ends that get forced in your brain so intellectual vitality I think is just crucial for all of us at all stages of our life.
Intellectual Vitality, write that down. It’s just another of the many things he is giving us to think about in his book. We all know people who lose themselves when they retire. Boredom sets in. Loneliness. Many times they go back to work just to interact with people. Some do it successfully. That is true but Dr. Straub has given us a very realistic look at the future - warts and all — and he also offers up the best way to position ourselves within our careers to survive and prosper.
Dr. Larry Straub - In a lot of ways it’s not rocket science. In many ways it’s kind of almost going back to the future. Its going back to some of the people, grandparents and parents have been telling us for decades. Things for example, just strong and stable relationships, adaptability, being able to kind of be ready for anything, watching your finances, your physical and mental vitality, just trying to stay on top of your game as much as you can and then just never stop learning. Always keep trying to keep your position and the world is changing pretty fast. there’s a lot of things coming down the pike at us so we just gotta stay as on top of things as we possibly can.
Hopefully none of this is scaring you. It’s just a wake up call to like what you do. It matters.
This collection of compelling autobiographical scenes in Eleanor Riley's life, encased in her Memoir, "Rungs on My Ladder" speak to the fact that in every human being there is a void that can only be filled by God and brings together a significant tender message of hope, determination and faith from her pen to her readers. Rungs on My Ladder pushes past the baseline expectations of memoir as a genre and creates and celebrates an amalgamation of lucid scenes of Eleanor's life and situates victim-hood as a conduit to triumph over circumstances that would normally break the weak and downtrodden. The memoir overflows with the trait that is Eleanor's hallmark...honesty.
About Eleanor Riley: It is indeed incredible that the tiny island of Jamaica has produced so many gifted and world recognized individuals: artists, scholars, and athletes. Some claim that the gifts of the country’s most well-known residents are due to the water, others the food the success, for instance, of a Jamaican Olympian champion and world record holder athlete was attributed to Jamaica’s Trelawny yam! So many Jamaicans have excelled abroad, and their remarkable success should not be taken for granted, especially when one thinks of the tremendous sacrifices Jamaicans often endure in order to accomplish their goals.
Consider the many successful Jamaicans who have emerged to the USA after having left family and friends behind, and adjusting to the weather, the enormity of America, its complexities and cultural differences, to then burst out on the scene to success and acclaim in the wealthiest and most advanced country in the world is an extraordinary task. You can get your copy of Rungs On My Ladder on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

This episode is based on the book Saved from Dementia by John Omar Vieira a book that demonstrates the healing proofs and evidence by the grace of God, followed by the author’s attendance at the eleventh Church of Christ, Scientist, London, UK, since the author’s early admission into Sunday school as a teenager.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
We all have issues. Sometimes we can resolve them on our own and sometimes we need to seek the help of a professional. John Omar Vieira has written a book about his journey called Saved from Dementia.
John Omar Vieira - I was in Psychiatric Examinations for twenty-seven years.
That sounds like a long time but I honestly couldn’t tell you if that is typical or not. In his book he credits the healing power of God for ultimately giving him his life back. He became a Christian Scientist. Much of this can be highly controversial but one thing I can attest to is the way our systems tend to keep you in a loop.
John Omar Vieira Absolutely. To claim Social Security benefits you’re diagnosed with an illness, mental health illness, and because you are diagnosed with a mental health illness you can’t work and it goes on and round and round in a circle.
The trick is to have the means necessary to avoid claiming benefits and that is not always realistic For many of those caught up in the system sometimes the consequences are disastrous.
John Omar Vieira And there’s so many patients out there that they just end up committing suicide. I’ve been there for twenty seven years and most of them have died.
Thankfully John found a way out.
John Omar Vieira Let me just read one short paragraph. Basically this is what saved me was the healing of this book. At the point of the impact of the divine metaphysics as revealed to the author John Omar Vieira by his understanding of Christian Science and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures written by Mary Baker Eddy, as well as the authors latin surname Vieira, indicates as being nearer to the truth and it’s that book, Science and Health written by Mary Baker Eddy the discoverer and founder of Christian Science along with the other writers who actually established the church of Christ Scientists altogether and Christian Science the religion. It inspired me hugely.
He has a long and interesting story. In his book he details his background in great detail from his early beginnings in a small village in Guyana to his long-term social security dependency to the thing that ultimately turned it all around for him. joining the Eleventh Church of Christ, Scientist, London.
If anything I’ve said strikes a chord with you, take a look at this book Saved from Dementia by John Omar Vieira. It’s online at Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com

This is the inspiring, heartwarming story of a mother and daughter's 50-year journey through the world of cystic fibrosis. Leslie's medical prognosis was that she wouldn't live to be seven. Although people with gene-based diseases don't have spontaneous remissions, Leslie had one. And, despite the odds, she lived a fully functioning life to the age of fifty.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that causes problems with breathing and digestion. CF affects about 35,000 people in the United States. People with CF have mucus that is too thick and sticky, which blocks airways and leads to lung damage, traps germs and makes infections more likely and prevents proteins needed for digestion from reaching the intestines, which decreases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food. CF affects many different organs in the body, making people with the disease more likely to develop other health conditions. Dr. Julie Torres-Johnson shares her story of how she made the choice to live in the resonance of love instead of fear after Julie's diagnosis and the impact it had. Julie's amazing spirit and energy is not only inspiring but a great reminder of how we can all choose to live our own lives. Julie's energy was so contagious, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation permanently changed the name of their award to The Leslie Petrone Hopkins Women Who Take Our Breath Away Award.
You can find Women Who Take Your Breath Away - The Leslie Petrone Story on Amazon.

Mark Gober, is with us for the fifth time. We have watched this brilliant young man become zanier and zanier in his pursuits! He was a buttoned-down Wall Streeter in the beginning. And he started with An End to Upside Down Thinking, where he blew a hole right through traditional scientific notions about consciousness. And by now he is writing about extraterrestrials! But, I’m sorry. Mark is right about everything! And now we are talking about his delightful latest book, which is called An End to Upside Down Contact. What he has to say is going to rock your world!
Most thoughtful people have questions like: what is the nature of reality? Why is there evil? Unfortunately, many of these people believe you have to have “blind faith” or trust some weird mystical approach in order to explore these questions from a religious perspective. My guest this week is Arthur Yavelberg, author of the book A Theology For The Rest Of Us and he offers a different view on these questions. In Arthur’s book and this conversation, he shows that is not the case; that religious responses to spiritual questions can be quite rational and even empowering.
Arthur has said he has thought about these issues for many years and he has come to realize that there are many religious traditions that can offer guidance in ways that do not require people to surrender their sense of reason. His motivation was to share this process so that people can use it to come to their own conclusions. A Theology For The Rest Of Us challenges people to be independent: to explore the various teachings but not necessarily to commit to any one of them.
In this episode, Arthur shares his journey of studying religion and spirituality and we touch on a wide range of subjects from free will, to the difference between beliefs in the East & West, how to be independent in your thinking without having to commit to just “one way” of doing things.
I absolutely loved Arthur’s book and as I mentioned in this episode, it helped me understand where I could go next spiritually after being turned off by religion for so many years.
This interview is not telling you what to believe, in fact it is quite the opposite. It is a discussion on how to look at things like spirituality, religion, divine intelligence in a different light so you can take what works for you and leave the rest. This is a very thought provoking and honest discussion on some big topics, don’t miss it!

More about the book, A Theology For The Rest of Us: If God exists and is good, why is there evil? Avoiding such questions underlies the spiritual emptiness and anxiety in today's world. A Theology for the Rest of Us explores how to approach the divine through Eastern and Western religious traditions without dogma, challenging readers to "be you lamps unto yourselves."
In a time of internecine wars and all kinds of abuse of authority and trust, too many good, thoughtful people are "voting with their feet" and turning away from organized religion. Popular "spirituality"-a sort of mysticism-lite articulated in memes-is often unsatisfying as well.
A Theology For The Rest Of Us is a straightforward approach to the fundamental questions of religion and philosophy: Does God exist? Is there free will? What is 'evil'? And many more questions many seekers ask. This book draws on the traditions of the East as well as the West-Taoism, Buddhism and Hinduism in addition to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-to see what can make sense in today's world. Whether exploring the implications of 17th century Enlightenment philosophers, quantum physics, or the insights of writers such as Dostoyevsky and Alan Watts, the reader is offered a rational, coherent approach that can provide understanding and a basis for hope in a world where the spirit has been all but decimated by doubt and worse.
Most important, the reader is encouraged to sift through these sources and choose what resonates and what does not. As the Buddha taught so many years ago, the Prime Directive is "Be ye lamps unto yourselves." A Theology For The Rest Of Us makes teachings accessible to those who have already begun their spiritual journeys, validating their questions and showing that reasonable answers are available.
More about Arthur Yavelberg: Formally, Arthur Yavelberg has two Masters Degrees: one in Jewish philosophy from the Jewish Theological Seminary and one in educational administration from Northeastern Illino...
What happens when your partner criticizes you or complains about your relationship? If you’re like most people, you get defensive. You explain, you deflect, you may even engage in what-aboutism. What you don’t do is take responsibility. And that’s how you do damage to your marriage. Relationship Expert, author, and speaker Lisa Merlo-Booth reveals what makes this behavior problematic and what you can do if it’s taken root in your relationship.
If you engage in this counter-productive behavior, get access to Lisa’s course here. If you would like more personal help, contact Lesli. Please share this informative show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Here's a little bit extra from the Young Crones Cafe about magickal intent which we talk about all the time when discussing spells. Intent is all about having a specifically defined purpose, whether it's part of mundane life or when working magick. If you can't clearly state you intent (what you want, when you want it to happen, and how it should happen) it greatly decreases the chances that your spell will be successful.

This book is written in a bold way opposing the crazy wokism in our culture now. But A.J. gets his message across with plenty of humor and intensity. Listen to why he looked for humor in the Marxist world. Find out his thoughts on how we politically defeat these woking dead leftists. Click on now for a great insight on the woke dead just like the old Hollywood horror classic.
The goal of this meditation practice is to guide you to new perspectives of hope and to inspire renewed positive energy. I hope you will grow in practice listening to different sounds representing various surfaces interacting with each other. Join me as we use our creativity and imagination of mindfulness practices to explore awareness of how our body responds to interactions of surfaces. Consider the thought that new textures are created when surfaces interact. Using this imagery, we can imagine how past experiences may initially appear to create rough and uncomfortable sensations. I invite you to allow yourself to move past the turbulent feelings and choose not to get stuck in your body's transition responses. Be curious and discover new lessons that build richness to the character and soul, enabling positive new growth.
This week, Gina explains how changing our perspective from reinventing to realigning, frees us up to be who we were born to be. And, realigning is a heck of a lot less time consuming.
The sound of the word “reinventing” causes a pit in her stomach. It just doesn’t sit well.
She believes reinventing is NOT the solution. She believes it removes us from our truth. The truths she lives by and encourages you to do the same.
Plus, it’s a LOT of work. Unnecessary work. A waste of time. It takes you away from… well, it takes you away from YOU.
Listen in as she unveils decades’ worth of keen observations. From the timing of when we feel the urge to reinvent ourself. To the beliefs (or reasons) why we think that reinvention IS the only solution. AND the #1 reason why she believes we feel the need to reinvent,
Her shining the light from such an angle will quickly have you thinking and seeing in a new way.
Certainly, life throws us curve balls. Ones that are unexpected. And some we see at the last minute. Each brings about change. And MOST don’t like change.
No matter your situation… Gina offers a new way, an (even) simpler way, to approach this challenge.
You’ll learn her 3 step strategic solution which will have you running from reinventing and embracing realigning.
Take the less-traveled road. The one that’s ideal for you. The one that will have you enjoying your new life more efficiently, more enthusiastically, and much more enjoyably.
You’ll quickly feel and see why realigning IS the ONLY solution.
You’ll realize that the change you experience reveals the perfection deep within you. You become who you were born to be.
The change in you, allows you to be the change our world is missing today.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Oprah Winfrey
"Every time you state what you want or believe, you’re the first to hear it. It’s a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don’t put a ceiling on yourself."

As I write this introduction and reflect on this quote, I realize the importance of not putting a ceiling on ourselves. This can be tough for business owners. We are often in our own worlds and minds.
Collaboration, ongoing learning, trial and error, tenacity, having a healthy mindset, and never giving up, are just some of the needed skills we need to tap into as business owners.
Having an entrepreneurial mindset can help you start a business but also help you perform at a higher level in your corporate job too.
If you are thinking about starting a side hustle or launching your own business, you are in store for a treat.

I find it fascinating that so many of my private, as well as my corporate clients, struggle with networking. I have found that most of my clients don’t always know how to get invited or which networks to seek invitations from.
Networking and referrals from happy clients have been one of my core values and habits that have created the success I have seen over the past 4 decades.
Here’s the deal. We all know how important networking is. Whether you are a business owner or an employee within an organization, having a community that knows, likes, and trusts you is key to long-term success and will serve you over the long haul.
So here is my question for you to think about during the next 30 minutes: Are you playing the long game? If yes, then this show will help you navigate networking with ease!

Welcome to Healing From Within with host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Messages to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from spirit that show us our challenges are not economic political or societal but often a deep disconnect from our inner true soul being or wisdom. Today I am delighted to welcome a former guest of the show Feroze Dada, author of his new book A Disciple: The Spiritual Path to Infinite Happiness which shows us another way to live and asks important questions about faith, spirituality to connect us with the power of meditation.
Thank you Feroze for sharing the energy of your kind and loving soul with our listeners. For those who wish to listen to the last show Feroze and I shared go to my website www.sherylglick.com on the Radio page July 202O where we discussed A Spiritual Journey to Burma Buddhism and Freedom
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her sensitive and intuitive authors seek answers to age -old questions such as “Who are we?” “What is life all about?” And “Does anything survive physical death?” We seek to understand our dual nature as both physical and energetic beings and try to improve the quality of life as we help humanity evolve and create heaven on earth or pursue goodness, kindness, love , compassion and healing.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Feroze Dada who believes passionately that it is meditation that provides the foundation for a caring and compassionate future shares his story of spiritual awakening evolving and becoming a teacher in his book with tales from mythology, quotations from Rumi, and references to Sufi texts all adding color to the Wisdom Teachings he is receiving for not only awakening our latent potential to live our best lives but also to transform this world.
When Feroze is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown him or others around them the lifestyle he might embrace as an adult he tells us about Rumi a Sufi mystic from the 13th century who tells of meeting his teacher in the market place and as he brushed by him felt a lighting bolt or storm ignited within him. Feroze was in search of his spiritual teacher when a similar event happened to him. As a successful financier a client came into his office and the energy between them was so invigorating that Feroze asked him how he maintained that state of being. The man told him he was a spiritual master teacher and when he was ready he would teach him but the time was not yet. Feroze began his meditation practice and eventually became an initiate of this man.
Feroze tells us how helping a Buddhist Monastery in Myanmar which supported over 1200 orphaned refugees affected what came next in his journey to self-discovery and fulfilling his spiritual needs. For the author Feroze Dada discovers the practical experience of helping a Buddhist monastery in Myanmar supporting over 1200 orphaned refugees from the war, commits him to an unfolding path towards self-discovery and understanding and one that will increasingly fulfil his spiritual needs. Through his work at the Healing Sanctuary we discover that as his awareness of the world of spirit grows, so too does his recognition of the power of Healing. He experiences a life-changing prophecy of severe illness by a spirit medium at the Healing Sanctuary.
Feroze writes, “Sitting in meditation at home on the morning of May 2, 2019 he was totally unprepared for an image given to him directly from Spirit. It was a clear 3 D image of a malignant tumor in his body. Purple and red with black malignant spots seeping through the top insidiously spreading through my flesh. Fear gripped his heart. It needed to be removed from his body and fast. He heard a whisper in his ear: “This is the truth. Act Follow this up now.” The intensity in the words struck hard against...
David Greenaway has spent most of his life battling mental illness/addiction issues. Despitethe many uphill struggles David has learnt to adapt his life and, overall maintain a status quo that enables him to lead a reasonably balanced lifestyle. The dark days in his life he has found solace in those close to him be they family and friends, or professionals that havecounselled him to bear with the difficult times and celebrate the good chapters. Butthroughout his life he has maintained a fervent passion for books, so much so he has todayfulfilled a lifetimes ambition with this new book of his.
David was born in Willenhall a town steeped in the history and culture of the Black Countryan industrial heartland that formed the backbone of the British Industrial Revolution inbygone days. At eight he moved to Wales with his parents and sister Lucie and to this day he still resides in Wales in a place called Tywyn a small coastal community not far fromSnowdonia National Park. David has dabbled in quite a few things in his life, some good,some not so. He presently receives regular depot injections which is an antipsychotictreatment available to people who face psychotic disorders in their lives.
David has a daughter Phaedra Hermione, a grandson Isaac and is presently awaiting thearrival of another grandchild.

When I spoke with David before doing this Podcast, I got the sense that this book of his wasa labour of love but at times an arduous affair, similar in away to David’s own life. Is it abook to cuddle up in bed with, definitely not, nor was it written with that intention, this is abook for me that has been written to stir the mind. Having read the book my impression isthat this is a series of informed statements gathered together expressing the opinions andobservations of the author David about the economic and social well-being of modernsociety and all the issues and challenges that currently dominate our headlines.
This book is interestingly written, well worth flicking through the pages to see theviewpoints of a man who has certainly seen life from the edge in all its forms. The dates inthe book are the days David compiled the text.
Thank you, David, for giving me the opportunity of getting some way into the mindset of aperson who sees life from a very different perspective.

This is not “just another Holocaust book.” It tells the story of a child survivor. The book recounts the author's journey from racial persecution as a child in Nazi Germany to ultimate life affirmation in the United States.
He takes the reader step-by-step through the stages of his liberation from victimhood, starting with his childhood as the only Jewish boy in a school of Hitler Youths, through exile, exploration and a restless search for acceptance, to final reconciliation with his childhood persecutors.
The author’s story demonstrates that your past, no matter how painful, can help you face your own shadows, and achieve compassion for the sufferings of others.

This edition of Newsgram is going to shine a spotlight on your life, your career and the key to it all “adaptation”. It is based on the book The 6Ixth Evolution: Managing Lives and Careers Through Convulsive Time by Dr. Larry G. Straub
Welcome.
Today we’re going to shine a spotlight on your life by taking a look at your career, your education and the key to it all, your ability to adapt.
Not sure if there’s a standardized definition of the term life-long learning but it usually refers to wisdom gained outside the boundaries of traditional education. No one stays in school forever but I’ve always thought it was important to have a natural curiosity; one that gives you a thirst for knowledge — and as you’ll see today, it’s not only important, it’s going to be your super-power in this changing world we are living in.
Dr. Larry Straub - We need to stay tough. We need to stay on our A-Game and we need to continue to grow and learn no matter what stage of life we’re in.
That is Dr. Larry Straub and he’s not kidding. I just took a look at my Social Security details. Have you done this yet? You can log onto SSA.Gov and have a look if you’re curious about what kind of benefits can you expect to receive when you retire. And…when is that. I’ll tell you. It means you get more money if you stay in the workforce longer — like 70. If that’s a bitter pill to swallow, buckle up.
Dr. Larry Straub - Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think people are going to have to work longer. This retirement at age 62 and 65, you know when those dates were set up they expected people to live another five years or seven years. They weren't set up for a society where people are averaging eighty plus years of age now and that’s continuing to increase. and frankly I don’t know that retirement is that good for us.
As hard as it is to hear that he does make a good point. The social security administration is willing to offer higher benefits if you stay in the work force up to age 70 but beyond the financial benefits working longer can also make you sharper. Dr. Larry Straub is the author of a ground-breaking book called The 6ixth Evolution: Managing Lives and Careers Through Convulsive Times.
Dr. Larry Straub - We need something to stimulate both socially, physically and intellectually and I think our brains they’ve proven we have these little tias, these mini strokes throughout our life. Well when you have that intellectual resiliency and you’re accountable for some results I think your brain builds new neural networks around those little dead ends that get forced in your brain so intellectual vitality I think is just crucial for all of us at all stages of our life.
Intellectual Vitality, write that down. It’s just another of the many things he is giving us to think about in his book. We all know people who lose themselves when they retire. Boredom sets in. Loneliness. Many times they go back to work just to interact with people. Some do it successfully. That is true but Dr. Straub has given us a very realistic look at the future - warts and all — and he also offers up the best way to position ourselves within our careers to survive and prosper.
Dr. Larry Straub - In a lot of ways it’s not rocket science. In many ways it’s kind of almost going back to the future. Its going back to some of the people, grandparents and parents have been telling us for decades. Things for example, just strong and stable relationships, adaptability, being able to kind of be ready for anything, watching your finances, your physical and mental vitality, just trying to stay on top of your game as much as you can and then just never stop learning. Always keep trying to keep your position and the world is changing pretty fast. there’s a lot of things coming down the pike at us so we just gotta stay as on top of things as we possibly can.
Hopefully none of this is scaring you. It’s just a wake up call to like what you do. It matters.

Today we look at spiritual messages of hope for our despairing world from Denise Bachrodt author of the book Love Conquers All: Spiritual Messages of Hope for our Despairing World
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Recently someone told me to trust the process…the best is yet to come. I know that comes out of context for you but it was said to me because I am personally going through some…exciting and at the same time very frustrating things in my personal life but that saying “Trust the process” kind of applies to lots of situations. “Live in the moment” and “Trust the process” are some of the most common sayings out there but they are perfect for today’s show.
Because…Life is a process…and the world is not as dark as it sometimes seems. There is hope and the best is yet to come, but don’t take my word for it.
Denise Bachrodt - I was on a retreat at the snow mass monastery in December of 2017. We didn’t have much snow then. I was walking on a dirt road and I just opened up to God and said, “ok. what’s going on God with government corruption, sexual abuse, human trafficking? People are despairing. What should we make of this? And that’s when I heard him say, Denise, all of this needed to rise to the surface so that we could become aware of what’s actually happening in the world today. I had no idea how corrupt and evil our world is. He said and once you realize that you will no longer tolerate this behavior and it will pave the way for peace on earth.
That is Denise Bachrodt, an author and fellow podcaster and that wasn’t the only message she received. She’s getting them all the time and sharing them as best she can.
Denise Bachrodt - I am still, thank God receiving these messages and so I have updated messages on my daily podcast.
Her podcast is called Love Conquers All. Here is a sample…
Denise Bachrodt Podcast Episode September 4th.
Denise started writing down her messages way back in 2003. Most of them were given to her during her retreats in Colorado.
Denise Bachrodt - When I’m on retreat it’s typically a ten day retreat. It's a post intensive retreat so we're in silence 95% of the time. So, our nervous system gets a chance to really calm down. We meditate up to 3 1/2 hours a day , vegetarian diet, so then we were like pure instruments to receive, God. I said ok, here I am, what do you want to tell me?
She says these messages came from God, the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. Pretty important people, so she put together a compilation of these messages from 2003 to 2018 into a book called Love Conquers All: Spiritual Messages of Hope for our Despairing World.
Denise Bachrodt - And the reason why I put it out there is to let people know they play a part. Every one of us plays a role in what is happening in our world today on our planet. but the person who is helping us get to what we want, to answer our prayers is God so the bottom line is we'll have to turn to God like the sentence in the bible says, ask and you shall receive. We need to remember to ask and God will answer us and give us what we need. So we can turn the tides of the way the world is today if we just turn to God and ask him. It should be very simple but that’s what it is.
God is in charge! That is the fundamental message in her book and the title is also the description. It’s filled with spiritual messages of hope for our despairing world.
Denise Bachrodt - and I do believe better days are coming. I do believe our entire planet is being elevated to a new spiritual level and that was God’s plan for us since the beginning of time. He even tells me that we will return to our original garden of eden which is fascinating and tells me that it will be as if heaven has descended upon earth. And I do believe there is a shift now. I believe there is a growth out there in spirituality. Not particular organized religions but people are just improving their relationship one-on-one with God,
This week, Gina explains two opposing opinions that arose after spotting the Water Lilly (mega) yacht, one of judgment. one of JOY, and the conversation that rocked the boat.
More importantly five takeaways to make your life (even) more joyful starting now.
Judgment happens as we up-level our lives. It’s saddening to see and awful to experience. It may leave us feeling upset, lonely, or guilty.
The one judging may feel like they’re constantly competing.
AND… neither feels good.
Would you be surprised to know there’s another way? What if you learned how to see up-leveling from a different place. A place of JOY. A place of ABUNDANCE. A place of ADMIRATION for beauty & design.
Listen in as she shares a personal conversation she had with her hubby. The day their eyes were drawn like magnets to the glimmering Water Lilly (mega) yacht.
Married for 22 years, they still don’t see everything eye to eye which she believes makes for great podcasting content. (He may not agree.)
Listen in to experience both ends of the spectrum. Then use your authority to decide which of the 5 takeaways will help you bring (even) MORE JOY to your day.

Wow, did you see the angry old man who spoke with no hope, no mercy, and no kindness? Did your president call you a fascist just two weeks ago? Does President Biden even know what he is saying from the teleprompter? Doc Holliday breaks down the discussion after the hellish speech from clips of interviews with Governor DeSantis of Florida and former Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee. Really, why would the White House staff make a hell-red color come from a speech from the White House and then claim that it was non partisan when it did nothing but villify voters who chose not to vote for democrats? Click on for information you will not hear on the Democratic controlled media channels (mainstream media.)
In this episode the Crone & Sage continue on with discussion of the Lunar Cycle and talk about how the Dark Nights of the Moon is a great time for ritual and divination. The featured Witchstone Card is the fifth of the mental concept cards which features Layers & Levels. We have included a spell called a Stick Note Explosion as a way to manifest things you need in your life. Finally, this week's Witchy Hint talks about how leftover Housel drink can actually be used as holy water for all types of magicks because it has been prepared and blessed as part of ritual which allowed us to see it in a new way.
If “How can I level up my business, relationships, focus, or even just life in general?" Is a question that crosses your mind – you’ve come to the right place. On High Frequency Mindset we’re going to unpack those questions and find the solutions that will launch you into action for rapid, concrete results.

This week I’m excited to welcome Jan Day to the podcast. Jan is the author of the book Living Tantra - A Journey Into Sex, Spirit & Relationship. In this episode Jan and I discuss what Living Tantra is and isn’t, some misconceptions about Living Tantra and what it means in modern day life. We talk about one of my favorite phrases: getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and discomfort plays into our experiences.
We also talk about what it means to move slowly, about safety and how both of these can be so valuable in our lives. I share some of my favorite exercises from Jan’s book (finding our exits and seeing the Buddha’s in disguise) and Jan shares her’s as well.
If you are looking for a practical lifestyle approach to healing, interacting with the world and living your daily life, you will not want to miss this episode!
More about Living Tantra: The principles of Living Tantra are to use all experiences to learn and become more conscious of ourselves and the world around us, and to develop greater compassion for ourselves, each other and the world. Tantra is ‘the weaving together of all that is” and it does not seek to separate sexuality and spirituality. Sexuality is fertile ground for self-knowledge and for integrating everyday life with spiritual life. The book introduces practices and principles that support living this in everyday life, as well as stories from Jan’s own journey and participant experiences from the workshops.
More about Jan Day: Jan Day is a Living Tantra teacher, relationship expert and psycho-spiritual teacher. She has been teaching and leading workshops in Europe and Hawaii since 1999. She brings extraordinary warmth and compassion to her work in groups, with individuals and with couples focussing on intimacy, sexuality, self-love and growing consciousness. She creates a learning environment where people can get a vital education in communicating effectively, creating authentic intimate long-lasting relationships, understanding themselves and their sexual nature and how to find a warm hearted and healthy expression of their sensual nature.
Jan Day brings to her teaching a deep understanding and a warm appreciation for people’s need to find and to trust their own unique journeys into being. Jan’s life and work have been influenced by both Eastern and Western spiritual teachers. She was a sanyassin of Osho for 15 years. Over a period of 20 years Jan trained and then taught with Alan Lowen, founder of _The Art of Being®. The Living Tantra series of workshops that she offers is based on the Body, Heart & Soul®_ series created by Alan.
She has also been influenced by and/or worked with Jack Kornfield, David Deida, Ron Kurtz, Ken Wilber, Genpo Roshi, Thomas Hübl and Ammachi. Jan now lives in England with her husband Frieder, who co-leads sections of the workshops and brings his own magic. You can reach Jan and find more about her workshops at her website: www.janday.com.

Happily ever after—sounds great, right? Maybe. But it’s certainly not realistic. No one can be “happy” all of the time. Because life, and marriage, can be challenging. How you meet those challenges determines how you feel about life, yourself, and your spouse. One thing that can really help is building emotional resilience. Licensed Professional Counselor and Relational Resilience Coach Brent Peak explains what this is and how you can develop it.
If you struggle to manage the ups and downs in your marriage, Lesli can help. Please share this truly enlightening show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick, author of A New Life Awaits, the final book in a trilogy that shares the thought that our challenges are not economic, political or societal, but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Today Sheryl welcomes Professor Robert M. Hardaway author of Saving the Electoral College. Professor Hardaway is a professor of law at the University of Denver Stum College of Law where he teaches evidence and civil procedure and election law.
Robert as listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her esteemed guests explore all aspects of the human condition in order to discover more about living a more authentic and productive physical life journey while exploring our human and divine capacity to grow in wisdom and love for Self others and life, hopefully, with honesty and integrity as the law provides for.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Robert M. Hardaway discusses the case for the continuation of the Electoral College explaining how the Electoral college actually works, how it is supposed to work and how it might be formed. He first looks at the Constitutional Convention, the Twelfth Amendment and historical elections where the Electoral College has come into play. Perhaps we can understand the 2016 election which caused many pundits and citizens alike to decry the Electoral College and the 2020 Election and problems leading to a huge Rally in D C when congress tried to determine how to certify the Electoral Votes from states that had questionable voting practices
When Robert is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that might have signaled to or those around the values interests and lifestyle he might embrace as an adult for Sheryl feels our destiny or life plan is with us at the beginning and we search to know our inner awareness through the experiences people and projects that we select that often most advances our soul development and the reasons we chose a physical life.
Robert immediately tells us his father had a profound effect on all that he values as he was a man of patience, virtue and kindness and lived to be 104 years old. He had a miraculous life journey and was blessed to see his son accomplish much to protect the law.
Robert goes on to tell us that he first became interested in the Electoral College as a high school student at St. Albans School in Washington, D.C. Every Thursday evening we would meet in government class in which students would engage in mock congressional debate on an issue of national interest, proposing bills, arguing for or against them, and then voting. One of the bills proposed was to “abolish the Electoral College.” I remember well one classmate of mine in that class by the name of Al Gore. Of course, none of us at that time knew the enormity that this issue would play in the future career of our classmate when he became a candidate for president in the 2000 election.
This government class debate was in large part a reenactment of a real life debate held just a few years before in the U.S. Senate in March 1956. As documented in the Congressional Record, 3 a cadre of U.S. senators, led in part by Republican senator Everett Dirksen, had taken it upon themselves to initiate demands that since 1789 have now become a bidecade ritual—namely, to “abolish” the Electoral College. These bidecade rituals inevitably involve attacks on the Founding Fathers’ plan for presidential elections and the ratification of that plan by the 13 original colonies. At issue in the Senate debates of 1956 was Joint Resolution 31, which proposed a rewriting of major portions of the U.S. Constitution in order to impose upon the American people a so-called direct election scheme.
Professor Hardaway goes on to write, “Virtually alone against this cabal of senators was a young senator, John F. Kennedy, who in the manner of Jimmy Stewart in Mr.
Linda Breedlove is a rebel and she uses that rebel concept in all of her writing. She says “…when life becomes challenging, you have two choices. You can keep looking for obstacles or you can look for opportunities." She joins Dr. Lycka today to share her personal life transformation and offer tips on how being a rebel can work for you.
Guest Bio: Linda Breedlove is a writer, award winning published author and lifestyle coach.

I invite you to participate in this meditation practice. I hope to stimulate your courtesy of the movement around you by wind and clouds. What would we do without the flow of wind circulating air around mountains and in caves? The flow of flowers and grain dances at the touch of a breeze. Fresh air streams into musty spaces refreshing stuffy rooms. Gazing into clouds allows your imagination to wonders into worlds of creativity. Let your vision focus on land or sea forms rolling through the backdrop of the sky. Witness fluffy transporters of life-giving moisture grow and tumble effortlessly, performing the continuum of their mission, the water cycle. As you participate in this meditation practice, allow yourself to get comfortable. Recharge your awareness and enjoy your practice.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Shaili Jain
“Take avoidance to an extreme, and you have denial: a deep burial of the trauma.”

Check Out These Highlights:
Did you know that the aftereffects of emotional trauma can last long after the initial events? And that they can be healed now?
I am always fascinated to learn about my inner voice, brain function, and how my life today may be affected by past traumas.
Things like self-criticism, insomnia, nightmares, intrusive memories, shame and struggles with self-compassion are all little-known aftereffects of emotional trauma.
The coolest thing is with the knowledge from relational neuroscience, we can all take action to resolve trauma and make our brains good places to live.
Of course, I have an expert who is going to help us peel back this topic so we all can act today!

In this part II of the discussion begun last week with Elaine Taylor-Klaus, author of Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids, we move on to parent coaching, helping your child learn the skills they will need to manage their time, attention, and emotions. The faulty neural networks in the brain in the centers for executive functions lead to these primary impairments of ADHD. The good news is that you can coach them to be their own CEO, doing so as a team, over the years from pre-school through High School. Elaine’s book takes you through all of the steps of how to do it. For now, Listen and learn!
The CDC has just admitted that it made some mistakes in its handling of the Covid-19 Pandemic. At the same time, Dr. Anthony Fauci has announced that he will be leaving the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in December. It is certainly appropriate that we now evaluate their performances. Dr. Fauci and the CDC have been wrong on several important public health matters during the pandemic—those mistakes have devastated the national economy and have caused at least $2 – 3 Trillion in damages. The long shut-down of small businesses in America ruined many businesses, and it is now clear that the long shutdowns were not necessary. The closing of schools for long times was not warranted. Keeping little children out of school was a mistake. The vaccines do not prevent the spread of Covid-19; neither do they prevent one from getting Covid-19. There are some bad effects from the vaccines, and the natural immunity received by those who contracted Covid-19 is a superior protection than that of the vaccines. --Two-and-a-half years after the CDC began to give directions of how to deal with Covid-19, they have proven themselves most unreliable. And, as for Dr. Fauci—we all know now that he is NOT science, but he is quite arrogant. He certainly should not win a Nobel Prize for either medicine or science. Dr. Fauci knew about and instigated the US’s funding of gain of function research in the Wuhan lab. Dr. Fauci had a conflict of interest with regard to investigation of the origins of Covid-19; he tried to hide his own involvement with the US-backed research that was taking place in the Wuhan lab.
In addition to all of this, Dr. Fauci and his CDC attempted to prevent any discussion or challenging of his public health assertions. Dr. Fauci and the Government tried to squelch and even punish some speech that challenged their views. Americans suffered and America was harmed by this whole experience. It is time for Dr. Fauci and the CDC to be exposed. We cannot afford this type of thing to ever happen again.
The answer to the question often sounds something like this: "I would quit this job, travel to some exotic place, and I certainly would tell those closest to me just how important they are to me."
Words like these are echoed by so many people each and every day, and with each day you have to decide what to do with the time you have left.
Inside of each person is a destiny, a calling, a purpose, and yet you spend day after day either running from that calling, ignoring your passion, or otherwise just taking up space.
This book exposes the pitfalls you experience in life, and brings answers to some of life's most basic questions: Why am I here, and why now?
Life is a journey of discovery, and within each discovery is an answer that will lead you to a life full of adventure, a life full of peace and joy, and ultimately fulfillment as you discover the destiny that resides within you.
The author would like to challenge everyone to simply look at your desires, your dreams, and realize that there is a reason you have them. They are not there just to play with you, rather to lead you to that place where you embrace and accept your destiny. Maybe the first time in your life, you get to do those things you truly love to do. At that point in time life changes forever. Remember, forever is a very long time.

How would you define universal forces? Do you believe they are in play and we just can't see them? How do you explain those nudges you get to do something, which make no sense at the time, only to find out later there was a specific reason or purpose for what that nudge pulled you to do? This is a fascinating topic for sure!
In this episode, Dr. Erhard Vogel joins the show to talk about Universal Forces Working in Our Favor. Erhard shares an amazing story about a sapphire necklace he bought 40 years ago for his now daughter-in-law (who wasn’t even born yet when he bought it). At the time Erhard bought the necklace, he was traveling the world with very little money and purchasing this necklace was completely out of character for him and made no sense given his circumstances. Yet something compelled him to do it and he listened.
In this episode we discuss universal forces in detail, how we can tune in and participate with these universal forces working on our behalf and how we can tell when we get a “signal” from these forces. We also touch on instances where we are intentional about what we want and forces work in our favor as well as where we are nudged or called to do something (that makes no sense at the time) and we see later the impact that calling had.
If you want to hear more about Erhard’s remarkable story of the sapphire necklace and how you can begin to recognize the signals in your life, don’t miss this episode. This is a very extraordinary interview and I know you will love this conversation!

This podcast is the last episode of our summer series for teens. How do you know if you are getting enough sleep? During the teenage stage of development, the brain is continually growing. Many research studies support that sleep promotes cognition and healthy brain development, which are vital for concentration and problem-solving. *“According to a 2006 National Sleep Foundation poll, the organization’s most recent survey of teen sleep, more than 87 percent of high school students in the United States get far less than the recommended eight to 10 hours, and the amount of time they sleep is decreasing — a serious threat to their health, safety, and academic success.” (Oct 8, 2018, med.stanford.edu). Sleep helps expand thinking which can stimulate creativity. Sleep is essential for teens, whether studying for a test, learning an instrument, or acquiring job skills (June 29, 2022, www.sleepfoundation.org). But how does one prioritize time with only 24 hours in the day? Join me in this interactive podcast for a few suggestions.

Betrayal, no matter what kind, hurts. And the impact is universal. It affects you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It leads you to question yourself and everyone else. And, unless actively dealt with, it can keep you stuck in a place you don’t want to stay. And for a very long time. Because time, without action, does not heal anything. Holistic psychologist Dr. Debi Silber reveals what she’s learned about betrayal and how to really move past it.
If you are struggling with the effects of betrayal, Lesli can help. Please share this important show with those who’ve been hurt on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of the last book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening. Today I welcome Malcolm Stern, author of Slay Your Dragons with Compassion, a psychotherapist, author and co-founder of Alternatives, a spiritual group at St James Church In London. Malcolm may help us see that there is meaning and personal growth and love that can exist even in the worst tragedy.
Malcolm as listeners of Healing From Within have come to expect my guests and I share intimate insightful experiences in the hope that we may all come to understand our duality or the human and energetic or spiritual essence of life. With a clearer understanding of who we are and where we come from, we are able to begin to make better choices thereby creating more compassionate successful life experiences and discovering once again that we truly are magnificent souls with the capacity to love self and life.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Malcolm Stern shares every parent’s worst nightmare when his daughter Melissa committed suicide in 2014 and his grief made him challenge every aspect of his work and life. In his book he offers ten ways to thrive even when it seems impossible. An important book showing ways to face your greatest fears and hidden sadness and to find ways past it all to regain balance, harmony love and acceptance.
When Malcolm is asked to think back to their childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to them or to those around them the life interests work or values they might embrace as an adult for Sheryl senses that within the heart and mind of the child is a quest for life that has already been imprinted on their souls Malcolm tells us that as a child he wanted to be a doctor and heal people. A sensitive child and empathic he longed to serve and help others past the traumas of a physical life and became a psychotherapist and spiritual healer.
Malcolm also tells us something of his sister Beverly who had a nervous breakdown at the age of eighteen and had been a promising actress gaining the part of Brigitte in the Sound of Music on the West End Stage in London. One night she began hallucinating and yelling that the taxi drivers were coming to burn down the house. Her condition worsened and she was diagnosed as schizophrenic and was given over fifty- five electric shock therapies over the next few years. Her kidneys were damaged by her medication and she never regained her center. Malcolm was terrified by anyone who exhibited similar signals-a fear he has explored in depth in his own personal therapy learning it is hard for us to see the profundity of another’s pain when they are so close to us.
In describing his daughter’s illness he writes, “With hindsight, it’s easy to see that there was a point at which she was swerving between highs and lows, agonizing about life while at the same time travelling all over the country, partying, socializing and working. The stillness that is part of a healthy psyche was absent. She was all movement. Melissa had lost hold of her internal compass and extreme pieces of behavior emerged.
Sheryl says whatever the diagnosis: Bi- polar disorder schizophrenia depression or what Sheryl’s own younger sister had social psychological disorder it is all so hard for the families to understand much less deal with and often the person is dealing with several challenging illnesses . Sheryl thinks at times there is not a family that is free of a member who suffers the stresses of a physical, emotional or mental disorder that so powerfully affects their own lives and those around them. Perhaps in the scheme of soul life we all need to be surrounded by these experiences so we can develop greater patience and compassion which are higher Universal or spiritual soul goals.
Malcolm tells us something of working with Alternatives,
Does fear rule your inner world limiting what you do in your outer world? Is your fear the compass by which you live your life keeping you stuck in the same place? If fear tends to show up in your life and keep you from becoming who you really are, then you won’t want to miss this episode.
Joining me in this episode is Gilda Joffe, author of the book Dancing With Your Muse: Inner Magic to Release Fear & Embrace Creativity. The episode begins with Gilda sharing her story of what she learned at age 12 about having more control than she thought. From there we move on to discussing fear and how it can rule our lives and keep us from living. We talk about creativity and how creativity isn’t just limited to artists and musicians. We are all creating throughout our days and we have the ability to create whatever it is we desire!
Gilda and I also discuss success and what it actually means, letting go and letting things workout and how there are millions of paths available to us that we can’t see at the moment. Throughout this interview, Gilda shares stories from her book, her experiences as a professional violinist & what she has seen with the clients she coaches.
We are all living by the scripts in our head, so what kind of script are you living? If you are interested in changing the script from fear to one of expansiveness and creativity, this episode is for you!

This week, Gina explains the importance of you winning. Why you deserve to win. And how to escape the judgment and guilt that comes along with up-leveling.
Unfortunately, as we up-level, those around us are not always able to cheer us on. And that can cause us to feel sad and alone. It can also cause us to contemplate quitting, remain stagnant OR give in to status quo.
Sometimes we are judged for up-leveling. This is a harsh reality. One that Gina experienced personally. It happened at what should have been one of her most exciting times of her life.
Listen to her tell her story and what transpired. More importantly, she shares how she views it now.
IF you’re on your path or have already achieved success, you probably have experienced this yourself. It happens often and to everyone.
Listen as Gina explains 3 reasons why some people judge. Not that it makes it right. Certainly, it does not. More so, to have compassion and a better understanding of where it’s coming from. And why you may be the recipient of it.
Most importantly, Gina will share the key reasons for YOU to WIN. What she sees in you. Why you deserve to win. And why NOW is the (right) time.
You’ll realize the reason to escape judgment. AND how YOU winning, impacts us all.

One of the dilemmas caused by the desire to give respect to homosexual and transgender individual was illustrated when an 80-year-old woman in Washington State confronted a transgender employee in a YMCA who was looking at young girls getting out of their bathing suits. The transgender employee looked like a man, so Grandma told the man to get out. But it was ultimately Grandma who was ousted from the YMCA because she violated the new norms where an individual’s sex is determined by a person’s subjective feelings and not by his biological body.
Most of America is still most comfortable in having biological men separated from biological women in public restrooms. But the 2020 Supreme Court case of Bostock v. Clayton County may change that. The wording of the opinion does seem to support the Washington State YMCA’s position. It will probably take another case going to the Supreme Court to decide whether the Bostock case requires the result dictated by the YMCA. Hopefully, the Supreme Court will somehow find that it's okay for the government to continue to have separate restrooms for men and women.
An altar is actually defined as a table or place which serves as a center for ritual according to the dictionary. This gives a Witch infinite possibilities for creating their own altars of all sizes and shapes and purposes. We also introduce the concept of sleath altars if you need an easy way to display and then "magickally" disappear them when necessary.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Sylvia Plath
"And by the way, everything in life is writable about, if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt."

Two years ago, I wrote my book ESP (Easy Sales Process): 7 Steps to Sales Success which became an #1 International Bestseller. It was exciting to create something that would help other business owners and salespeople grow their revenue using my proven 7 step process that has worked for me for 4 decades.
The ripple effect of the book was astonishing to me. It was a great authority builder but also a great marketing tool to showcase my business, my expertise, and how I could help and support others to make more sales, more money, and do it all through a place of love, care, and respect. It was so powerful and humbling!
At the time I didn’t know that publishing a book should have been a critical piece of my business plan all along. I had a blind spot about what marketing was and how to create a marketing strategy using a book.
Melanie and I are going to help us understand marketing and how to implement a plan that gets results.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Carlto Cuse
“The creative process is not like a situation where you get struck by a single lightning bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and there are ongoing creative revelations. Yes, it's really helpful to be marching toward a specific destination, but, along the way, you must allow yourself room for your ideas to blossom, take root, and grow.”

The creative process is designed to produce something you want. If you don't want to create it, then why do it?
I find that many of my clients and people I work with, confuse the creative process with problem-solving.
You are not creating something new if you simply jump from solving one problem to the next. Creating is bringing something into being that has not been created yet. It is therefore essential that you really care about what you want to create otherwise you are likely to respond to what you think you “should” create.
Avoid the dilemma of spending time, your talent, your energy, and your money on things that don't matter to you.
Once you have an idea of what that “something” is that you really care about, you become inspired to solve problems to create it and feel inspired to bring something new into being,

The theory goes that Leonardo DaVinci grew wary of Hermeticism and created his Vitruvian Man . His representation of a human male body. What does it have to do with the inner workings of the universe? Let’s see.
For this episode we need to paint a couple of mental pictures in our minds' eyes. The first one is The Caduceus. If you don’t recognize the name you will definitely recognize the image. Think of a short rod entwined by two snakes and topped with a pair of wings. The rod is pointed at the bottom with a ball on top. Looks kind of like a walking stick but it’s braided from top to bottom with a pair of snakes looking at each. Behind their heads is a set of wings. You’ve seen it. It’s the traditional symbol of Hermes, the Greek deity. It’s his magic wand. Hermes was the protector of travelers, thieves, merchants, and orators — it’s also used as a symbol of medicine in the United States.
Palibor Iversune - It’s a Hermes Magic Wand.
Exactly, do you ever wonder why the Hermetic Caduceus, adorned within its snakes and wings, became the symbol for modern‐day medicine? Could it somehow be connected to how the Byzantine Empire oversaw the adoption, sculpting and institutionalization of Christianity? Haha I know, that’s a lot. Just a few points to ponder as we open the book on a very thought filled episode of Newsgram.
Paganism. Symbolism. Have modern symbologists missed something? Maybe.
The rod of the Caduceus belongs to Asclepius the greek God of medicine - so no mystery there however there is some debate in the medical community about why these two symbols are combined. For now let’s step away from Hermes and take a broader look at what it all means.
Palibor Iversune - This is another way to look at duality. Meaning ancient Abrahamic progression maybe has more to do with suffering. Abraham was going to kill his son and then some angelic higher wisdom said don’t do it, whatever it takes to suffer through with your son right? And then the polar opposite of that is ancient Greek paganism were Kronos had a vision that Zeus was going to rise up and overthrow him just like Kronos did his father Uranus and so what did he do asper the ancient greek paganism he devoured his child and devouring could mean physically cause there’s like pictures of Kronos eating babies or there’s another way to devour. Mentally devour. These are opposite opposing theisms, or ways to look at the Universe.
Duality is all about balance . It comes in many different forms depending on your beliefs and it’s been there since the beginning of time. It’s also very stigmatic. One of the many intriguing ideas addressed in the new book DaVinci’s Mental Code by Palibor Iversune.
Palibor Iversune - Why should we be so stigmatic about maybe a natural law of the universe. Every long standing philosophical, metaphysical philosophy of time. Cross culture they talk about the same thing whether it’s the ancient Chinese with the Yin and the Yang, ancient Abrahamic is good vs. Evil, ancient Buddhism they call it internals vs nihilism. Ancient Native Americans call it dark and light, or light and dark. Ancient Hermiticists, ancient Greeks call it above and below and the new agers call it positives and negatives and I think we’re all talking about the same thing so that’s the idea.
I agree. It is what it is. If you ‘re on a quest to understand the way things are or the symbolism we use in modern society and where it comes from this book might be of interest to you. How about Leonardo Devinci? We could spend a week on his works and the philosophy behind the things he did. Which brings me to the other symbol I wanted to plant in your mind's eye. IThe Vitruvian Man. Da Vinci's concept of the ideal human body’s proportions.
Palibor Iversune - His left eye is more comparatively dark than his right eye. Who knows why he did it. I just never heard anybody talk about it.
Does it have anything to do with the duality of the universe?
This show addresses basic questions about DREAMS, SELF and CONSCIOUSNESS. It is based on the book “Image Transformations of the Brain-Mind: Experiencing the Emergent Supervening Self” by Glen Just.
How does the mind work? Kind of a loaded question….Alright let’s narrow it down a bit. How do dreams work? They are influenced by the physical self aren’t they? Are they influenced by our waking lives or the amount of sleep we’re getting? And what if our waking life is causing us to have nightmares? How is the Physical-SELF transformed into the Virtual-SELF? Some big questions.
Today on Newsgram we’re going to break it all down and learn how you can take unpleasant thoughts like nightmares and brain images and transform them into something more positive. You see, we all have emotions and anxieties — good and bad. These feelings are made into imagery by our mind.
Glen Just (Emotion Images) and that can be visual. I can be tactile, touching, it can be sound and it can smell or taste as well but usually it’s visual or it’s auditory. So those are things that can get transferred into things you can see in your dreams like you are the movie director and screenwriter. Concepts get turned back into emotions in dreams as well and so this is a bi-directional process so I give a fair number of examples of different emotions, different feelings and the bi-directionality of the imaging and the sensory process that occur in there and once you understand that it opens up a whole world of fascination to observe your own dreams because you’re now understanding what’s causing them.
That is Glen Just, author of the book, Image Transformations of the Brain-Mind: Experiencing the Emergent Supervening Self. He says one way to control these processes is by usinga technique called “self-hypnosis”.
Glen Just (Self hypnosis) I use self-hypnosis to learn mind control. If you think of mind control to say the way some Buddhist’s do or Yogi’s do, they can control the imaging in their dreams or when they are awake what’s going through their minds and so I learned how to do that on my own using the mind control techniques of self-hypnosis.
Sounds like we just need to focus on having good thoughts. In a small way, that is true but it goes a lot deeper. From a layman perspective here — nightmares a reflection of unmet psychological needs or simply a frustration going on in your life manifesting itself in this way. Glen has done a lot of work in this field and we’ll get into his background in a second. Here he talks about his experience in the early stages of learning self-hypnosis.
Glen Just (Learning Self hypnosis)
To learn self hypnosis I would say things like, lay down quietly, relax without any disturbances and say my arm or leg is rising, you’re not making it rise it is rising on its own. So, what I was doing was teaching the automatic primary part of the old brain to act on its own and then by remaining lucid, meaning that I was aware of what I was doing while I was doing it, I observed myself doing these things.
Visualize the outcome and control the outcome. Interesting. Before we get too deep into this let’s cut to the chase. Why?
Glen Just (Why) Part of my motivation to write the book is to counteract a lot of the mythology that’s out there. You can read books where an acorn means this and a snake means that and Freud did that. He had over like 247 or something, specific things that he’s following the old mythology. If you are caught up in that mythology, give it up and learn how the transformations actually occur so you can deal with your own anxiety, lead a better life and have more insight into who you are and who your fellow human beings are.
Knowledge is power. The more we understand about our own mind the better equipped we are to deal with our personal issues. Now, this is no substitute for professional help but personally, I do like to arm myself with enough knowledge to try and understand what is ha...
Enjoy the improbable story of a courageous journey aimed at breaching the subconscious vault the author built to store the difficult memories of a childhood usurped, destiny denied, and a loving family forever separated by geopolitical events.
The bookinvites the reader to travel with the author back to the land of his birth for the first time in fifty-six years in order to reclaim his forgotten Cuban childhood memories, original identity, and once-promised destiny.
Accompany the author as he searches for the now faded footprints he once left behind in the homes, school, and playgrounds of the first nine years of his life. Be there beside him at their final resting place as he honors the grandparents, uncles, and aunts he never saw again. Meet family members he never knew he had.
Laugh, sigh, and cry with the author during the many unforeseen experiences, astonishing events, and serendipitous moments that will forever change his life.
This is the story of the psychological forces that help define us, the power of enduring hope, and how by achieving purity of heart, reconciliation, and a soul at rest, we can evolve into better versions of ourselves. The book offers a universal message of love and enlightenment that can only begin with each individual’s search for self-actualization and inner peace.

This book demonstrates the healing proofs and evidence by the grace of God, followed by the author's attendance at the eleventh Church of Christ, Scientist.
The author was forced into declaring his mental vulnerability surrounding his adolescent issues of drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, and rehousing, along with his self-employment status. All of this has been the author's struggle while going into a spiritual awakening in his youth that now represents the author's more coherent and practical discovery of a clearer view and understanding of the teachings and practices of Christ Jesus and holy scriptures as founded by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science.
Christian Science is commonly known in the last chapter of the Holy Bible (the King James Version), in Revelations, as the vision of St. John the Divine and the reappearance of the Holy Ghost, the divine comforter, namely divine science.

Nestled within a picturesque little hamlet is Lavender Mews. To outsiders, the neighbours who dwell there seem staid and boring. But if you dare to delve deeper, you would discover that all the neighbours are hiding dark secrets they desperately need to remain just that—secret.
In this darkly comedic tale, the residents of the little neighbourhood go about their days while harboring secrets that have the potential to change everything.
Luke is a car aficionado who just wishes his wife, Ginger, would be less demanding and more content with his faithfulness. There’s only one problem. Their flirtatious neighbor, Cindy, has an obvious crush on Luke and even though he is married, she isn’t shy about pursuing him. Dottie habitually spies on her forgetful neighbour, Marie. Dottie doesn’t miss a trick. She has her finger on the pulse of everything that occurs on the street. Christian is a vegan, body-obsessed barrister who has never lost a case. When he begins digging up dirt on another group of untouchables, he has no idea that he is about to uncover a juicy scandal. As an unexpected chain of events unfolds, only time will tell if all of their secrets will be revealed or remain hidden forever.
This is a story full of twists and turns, and more than a few jaw dropping revelations.

Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by – Dave Ramsey
“You must gain control over your money or the lack of it will forever control you.”
Check out our conversation here!

Check Out These Highlights:
As I reflect on my career and business, for today show topic, I realize how curious I have become about my relationship to money. I can clearly see all the up and downs financially due to things that have been beyond my control.
So, I always try to look at the things I can control. What I’ve learned, I can only control me and how I respond to situations.
When the economy changes, and it always does, I am always grateful for our savings set aside for emergencies but also the savings for my future!
I believe it’s about being aware of my current situation, having a plan to support my future objectives and goals, and knowing when to change my plan.
So I ask you – what’s your relationship with money? Are you thinking, “Connie, I love money, I love spending my money, and money is great!” Or are you thinking, “hum, that’s a very good question. I feel like I never have enough money, and no matter how hard I work, money seems to be hard for me to hold onto.”
No matter the side you fall on with my questions, guess what, we all have money issues. So how do we dig in and change our relationship with money?

Most people break communication down into two activities—speaking and listening. But how you do each can make all the difference in your marriage. And guess what? Very few of us actually learn how to do either effectively. What generally happens is you listen to respond. Which means you aren’t listening deeply, and this is how misunderstandings and miscommunications happen. Listening to understand or, more importantly, Compassionate Listening is how connection and real intimacy begin. Michael Gingerich and Tom Kaden, founders of Someone to Tell It To, explain both the differences and benefits of this type of listening.

Welcome back to our episode for teens. During August, I am grateful to offer a few suggestions, activities, and guidance to the future generation in their early to late teens. Research indicates that teenagers are experiencing more stress today compared to adults during school seasons. During our short time, we will use imagery and practice mindfulness breathing. I respect your valuable time, so I intentionally make the activities brief. I recommend that this episode is great to practice when you have a 6 to 15-minute break. Then, get ready to rest and recharge. I hope you enjoy this silly imagery activity. I wish you all the best of success this school year.
Join Doc Holliday this week as he explores the law signed by Biden last week that has been egregiously named the Anti-Inflation Legislation. After the signing ceremony even U.S. Senator Manchin admitted that it will not reduce inflation. This law would have never happened if Manchin had not folded from all the arm twisting of the far left. The socialists in Congress held their noses as they voted for the bill in house and senate even though it did not go as far s they wanted it to go. It only will cost America about 750,000 millions of dollars or 750 Billion or just under 1 trillion dollars. As we have mentioned before, will raising taxes on corporations cause these companies to raise their prices or lower their prices for goods and services? Doc Holliday uses clips from Hannity and Dick Morris on Newsmax to help you better understand what is really going on. Click on now for a deeper dive into what Americans can really expect from this new law!

This week, Gina explains the importance of you winning. Why you deserve to win. And how to escape the judgment and guilt that comes along with up-leveling.
Unfortunately, as we up-level, those around us are not always able to cheer us on. And that can cause us to feel sad and alone. It can also cause us to contemplate quitting, remain stagnant OR give in to status quo.
Sometimes we are judged for up-leveling. This is a harsh reality. One that Gina experienced personally. It happened at what should have been one of her most exciting times of her life.
Listen to her tell her story and what transpired. More importantly, she shares how she views it now.
IF you’re on your path or have already achieved success, you probably have experienced this yourself. It happens often and to everyone.
Listen as Gina explains 3 reasons why some people judge. Not that it makes it right. Certainly, it does not. More so, to have compassion and a better understanding of where it’s coming from. And why you may be the recipient of it.
Most importantly, Gina will share the key reasons for YOU to WIN. What she sees in you. Why you deserve to win. And why NOW is the (right) time.
You’ll realize the reason to escape judgment. AND how YOU winning, impacts us all.

Rep. Liz Cheney was soundly repudiated by the Wyoming Republicans in the Primary election on August 8, 2022. Although Liz Cheney had voted for Trump initiatives over 90% of the time during his presidency, Cheney turned against Trump when his challenging of the 2020 election results was too strong for her liking. Cheney joined with the Democrats in claiming that Trump lied and that Trump’s efforts to have Congress investigate the election results in some states was an attempt to undermine American democracy. Cheney’s has become the Democrat’s pawn in leading the January 6th Committee, who’s overt goal is to get Trump convicted of some crime. But over 95 % of the other Republicans in the House believe that Trump neither wanted nor encouraged the January 6th riots, which actually undermined his efforts on January 6th to have Congress delay certifying election results until it could investigate election irregularities in four states. Consequently, Cheney’s obsession with attacking Trump led her to abandon the voters who put her in office two years ago. Republicans soundly rejected and repudiated Cheney on August 8th by overwhelmingly voting for Cheney’s opponent, Harriet Hageman and decisively rejecting Cheney by a 68% - 30% vote.
Despite the voters’ rebuke, Cheney basically claimed a moral victory and vowed to do all that she can to prevent Trump from ever returning to the Oval Office. Cheney compared herself to Abraham Lincoln and hinted that she would run for President in 2024. The only legitimate comparison Cheney can make to Lincoln would be to her support of the Lincoln Project, a group of wealthy people who spent millions of dollars in 2020 attacking and demonizing Trump.
Raid on Trump’s Home. On August 18th, following a hearing before Florida Judge Bruce Reinhart, attempts to make public the affidavit submitted to justify the search warrant on the Trump home, Judge Reinhart ruled that parts of the affidavit could be released, subject to various redactions to protect witnesses and secret government information. The Government has a week to present proposed redactions to Judge Reinhart.
Insufficient information was released to show whether or not the warrant was justified. Consequently, it continues to appear that the procuring of the warrant was a partisan political effort to punish President Biden’s political opponent. Further, the warrant, which was a general warrant, also appears to be a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment which prohibits warrants unless they “particularly” describe the things to be seized.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick author of A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which share stories and messages from Spirit showing us the challenges we are facing are not merely economic political or societal, but a spiritual disconnect from our inner soul wisdom and sense of connection to Universal Source. I am delighted today to welcome Lois Hermann author of Chronicles of Hope The Collective—Book 2 who like me is a conduit for the relaying of messages from Universal Source to help us remember our soul journey and the potential we have to manifest our greatest potential to thrive and evolve during these changing and challenging times.
As listeners of “Healing From Within '' are well aware Sheryl and her guests share an understanding of the dual nature of soul and physical life as we try to observe ways to master our emotions and live lives of dignity and love exploring the world of man nature and the Universe. If we focus only on material needs, we often fail to observe the beauty of our soul energy and cannot succeed in either our soul or physical life development. A merging of our total essence is the key to success, joy, prosperity, peace and happiness.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Lois and Sheryl will discuss Lois’s second book in the series, Chronicles of Hope—the Collective—Book 2 which shares channeled messages from wise spirits of the Collective who teach us how to shift our energy to be more positive, to heal ourselves our families and communities, and our troubled world. In this timely compilation of ageless wisdom we hear from an ancient God, a beloved prophet, a little known Goddess, a misunderstood Archangel, the expansive Spirit of the Universe and the Spirit of the Earth, our mother Gaia. Whether you believe in many Gods, one God or no God these spiritual beings of the unseen world are concerned humanity will soon be its undoing, but if we listen, they are ever willing to assist us in saving this precious planet and the life that lives in, on and around her. Lois will share miraculous messages of love from Spirit in order to help us weather these challenging times where humanity is being called on to remember their true being and to work cooperatively rather than in competitive fashion which is undermining the health and well being of our planet and our personal development as souls having a physical life.
When Lois is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place event that may have shown her or others around her the lifestyle and interests she might pursue as an adult she immediately remembers her family trips to a camping ground by the water where every time they went she saw a lovely woman by herself with long white blonde hair who had a small tent and who just seemed to be so calm and quiet. Lois never got to talk to her but realized she was possibly different than all the others. Strange Sheryl says but you were drawn to her peaceful energy and Sheryl tells Lois that over twenty years ago when she was developing her healing and mediumship ability she went to a convention in Arizona. At a sound bowl healing workshop Sheryl was late and ran in to take the only seat left in a circle of twelve people. All of a sudden she felt drawn to look to her right side where a young woman with long white hair sat very still. The next day she met the woman at her booth where the woman told Sheryl her name was Victoria and she was from another star system and here to help humanity evolve by sharing vibrational music which she was selling at her booth. Sheryl asked Victoria if there were more beings like her and she said, “Yes.” “What do they look like?” Sheryl asked and Victoria responded, “They look like me.” It wasn’t so much what she looked like that Sheryl remembers, but the quietness and peace of her energy that she radiated. Funny how Lois and Sheryl, both sensitives and mediums had a similar encounter.
When we decide we want something different in our lives, we often want to skip the perceived “hard” part and get on to the “good” stuff, unfortunately life doesn’t work that way. As the title of the book implies, the only way we are able to move through anything is to move through it. And if that’s the case, wouldn’t it benefit us to have the tools to do this in the best way possible?
My guests this week are Kris Girrell and Candace Sjogren, authors of the book Typhoon Honey - The Only Way Out Is Through. This book shows how the science and psychology of transformation actually works, and that it isn’t all woo-woo or magic! While I love woo-woo and magic on this show, I also like the practical side of things as well and this book helped to pull together many concepts in a way I have never heard explained before.
In this episode, we cover how everything is connected, why it feels like the world is working against us when we decide to make a change (it’s not), the difference between change and transformation and how our perception is not reality. The focus of the book is what the authors refer to as “standing in source” and after this interview you will know what that means and how you can apply it in your own life. We also discuss commitments and how they alter our relationship with the rest of the world, training our minds to see abundance (one of my favorite mantras from the book: I am the source of my abundance. I will see it everywhere I look.), and what Typhoon Honey actually means.
If you are looking to fine tune your perception and take your life to the next level, this interview is one you will not want to miss!

More about the book, Typhoon Honey: Starting with a foundation of understanding how we, as physical and psychological beings actually function, Typhoon Honey lays out a path toward becoming the sole and undisputed author of one's life - called "being the source." The authors explain, with ample case examples and exercises, how to release limiting self-concepts; understand what reality is and isn't; and become totally and powerfully accountable in determining your future.
A tour de force in transformational technologies, pulling back the curtain on how those techniques actually work, Typhoon Honey is a must read for anyone who desires to step up to a new level of life and living.

We are boats on the thrashing sea of life. We rise and fall with the waves. People react differently in their tragedies. This episode is based on the book From Dusk to Dawn: The Vicissitudes of Life By Henry Krauss
Welcome to this edition of News gram
I’m so glad you clicked on this episode because Vicissitude is not a word we use all the time but it’s a great one to describe the things that happen to us that are beyond our control. They happen all the time and we all react differently. Many times we wish we could go back and do things differently but that is never an option. The Vicissitudes of life are numerous. They can overshadow the good things that happen to us and it’s that combination that life is all about. How we cope with the ups and downs says a lot about who we are as individuals.
Today you are going to meet Henry Krauss. Among other things, he is a retired author. He’s also a pretty cool guy as you’ll see in a minute. He has a new book of poetry out that offers a message of hope and inspiration. The poems are mostly about how he coped with cancer — or I should say the emotional duress caused by it. Oh…there is a lot more here — stick with me because this is going to be worth it.
Henry was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, Diabetes and Polycystic kidney disease; a chronic condition that literally destroys your kidneys. There is no cure for it so he underwent a Kidney transplant and rather than letting all this get the best of him he decided to write 30 poems.
Henry Krauss - It was kind of Cathartic to write these thirty poems.
His poetry is now a book titled “From Dusk to Dawn: The Vicissitudes of Life”. Henry says, people react differently to tragedy but journaling or writing can be therapeutic because the diagnosis of a chronic condition can take an emotional toll.
Henry Krauss - An important thing out there for people to know is to get counseling or therapy from a social worker or psychologist or psychiatrist because that kind of help emotionally helps you deal with the stress and to be honest with you that’s the hardest part.
Gratitude and staying positive can actually improve your health. Can it cure cancer? I’m not going to go that far but being gracious and positive are a lot better for you than negativity. We’ve met all kinds of people here on Newsgram and a common theme is the importance of being thankful and optimistic.
Henry Krauss - My idea is to instill hope in people that just because you're given a cancer diagnosis or chronic Kidney disease doesn’t mean your life is over.
That’s a good way to put it. No matter what is going on in our life, things happen for a reason. There is always a path through the darkness and there is always hope.
Henry Krauss - This is true in all of life because that is what the book is about/ It’s not only severe tragedies, it’s anything that comes up. You have a choice. I don't like to say it because it’s cliche but is the glass half empty or half full?
A nice example of this is the poem he wrote called “My Cancer” . It's not available online in the free preview section of his book so it was nice of him to read this one for us. It’s such a visual piece that I think you’re going to like this. Let’s have a listen…
Henry Krauss - Where did my energy go? I climbed mountains, ran with the wind, and climbed the Great Oak. Now it’s hard to walk. Climb steps. I need stamina. Vitality. I sit and can’t get up. Dizzy. What will rejuvenate me? My heart pumps although it feels like the blood is slowly dripping out of me. Despite the fatigue I push with grit. I’m optimistic. Tomorrow is another day.
Tomorrow is another day. When you thumb through this book you get a real sense of who Henry Krauss is and he’s definitely someone you should know. We encounter people everyday and rarely get a chance to get to know them or hear their stories. Letting Henry touch your life with his words is a good thing.
Greed is a powerful motive for murder! Today we look at the Crime/Romance novel Persons of Interest by John Jenchura. The main character, Warren Wallace, is a lawyer whose golfing parter, Brenda Lamb is brutally murdered.
Do you like crime novels? Who doesn’t. It’s fascinating to peer into the mind of a killer and try and sort out what on earth could drive someone to commit such a heinous act.
It’s also fun to play amateur detective and try and figure out who did it. Maybe you’re like me and you look for changes in the antagonist's behavior. If there is any. Why are you putting up roadblocks? Are you just a red herring or did you do it?? Are the cops in Cahoots? Is it more than one murderer? It’s a mystery. It’s a puzzle and who doesn’t like solving puzzles.
Today I have a book for you called “Persons of Interest”. It is both a murder mystery and a romance novel.
John Jenchura - And, in the back of my mind, I have my wife who was going to be reading the book and helping me edit it. I have three grown daughters who will read the book. I didn’t want them to read it and say their husband slash father was kind of an erotica type writer so I kept the scenes very nice I’ll say. But that was the hardest part of the book, keeping in mind that I did not want to be doing anything over the line
O.k so Romantic but not pornographic got it. That was the author of the bookJohn Jenchura and one of the reasons he’s emphasizing the importance of not going to far with the sex stuff is that the main character, Warren Wallace loses his wife to breast cancer and one of the story elements involves Warren reentering the dating scene. It's a big part of the book but it isn’t the only part. Here he is with a prepared statement.
John Jenchura - It is my hope that Persons of Interest will bring new readers to what I call the quote “Murder, Mystery Romance genre”.
I think it will. Let’s dive in and don’t worry there are no spoilers here. Our romantic mystery takes place on the East coast.
John Jenchura - Much of the book is autobiographical. For example, I'm from Pittsburgh. and the book takes place outside Philadelphia but I focused on Pittsburgh sports teams because that’s who I rooted for and still do all my life.
So Steelers and Pirates fans should enjoy this one. I thought it was interesting that in the book's prologue John lists a number of elements that make up a typical crime novel. Some of them are cliche’s like “Hope for the Best - but prepare for the worst” or “Keep your friends close - but your enemies closer”, “Pride cometh before the fall” or my favorite, “At the scene of a murder there is often the silence of death - yet sometimes the dead speak the loudest of all. The idea is to give you some sayings that might get your mind racing and give you some thoughts about the plot. One in which a young woman is bludgeoned to death, quite brutally with a golf club.
John Jenchura - Being a Golfer and an attorney not surprisingly, I set the murder at a golf course. I had a couple of attorneys involved, two of which became very close and while the plot was unfolding they become more than just friends and developed a romantic relationship so I have two plots goin on.
Love and Murder. This would not be the first novel to involve those two elements so I need to let you in on something else. The story involves Insider trading.
John Jenchura - I decided to develop this um, situation involving a crime known as insider trading in which a person gets information about a company that is not available to the public and they take that information and use it to make decisions about buying and selling stocks. That is against federal law. So I developed that story with a person inside of a company looking for acquisitions and eventually that whole crime gets investigated and it ends up being part of the plot involving the murder but I’ll say no more about that.
So Warren, the widower, liked to play golf,

Building on our Extra about Affordable Witchcraft, this week's Extra Cup of Coffee from the Young Crones Cafe talks about some of the common kitchen herbs you probably have in your own home which can be used for all kinds of magical correspondences.
Have you ever wanted something so bad and felt like you weren’t going to ever get it? That it was always some far off date that you could never quite obtain? I’ve felt like that in multiple areas of my life, so you can imagine my surprise when I had two experiences where strangers pointed out I had exactly what I said I wanted in my life with both my relationship and my podcast business. At first I actually resisted the notion for both but after I thought about it more, I realized “wait a minute, they were right!”
In this episode, I share the two examples from my own life where I was stunned to find what I said I wanted was actually already right in front of me. I’ve always been annoyed by the phrase “everything you want is already here” because I never understood how that could be true, until now. In this episode, I also share my thoughts on why it’s important to get clear about what we want, how our perspectives influence what we see, and how you can start to look at things differently in your own life right now. I think you’re going to love this episode, don’t miss it!

As I look back over the past 20 years of being in business, I reflect and think about the many ups and downs. Because of my 40-year working career, I know that ups and downs are inevitable. That doesn’t mean it is ever easy to navigate and move forward. Burnout for me was always just a step away and I sometimes felt like I was losing the battle. Help is on its way!

Mikey Morgan is a genuine sixth-level being who had last incarnated in the 1600s, and who had become so concerned about how things are going on earth that he took an additional lifetime that ended in 2007 so he could communicate through his mother, Carol.
Roberta has tested him exhaustively, and she is convinced that he is exactly who he says he is! In this, their 17th Seek Reality appearance, Mikey answers questions that were earlier sent in from listeners through the green contact block on Roberta's website. Mikey appears on Seek Reality four times each year, so if you have questions, please send them in! Mikey Morgan's wonderful book is Flying High in Spirit - A Young Snowboarder's Account of His Ride Through Heaven.

As I searched for the right quote to kick off today's show, this one immediately created an image in my mind of the caterpillar struggling out of his cocoon to become the beautiful butterfly that can stretch his wings and fly because of the struggle and effort to tear through the chrysalis.
I know that I and many of my clients keep looking for a quick fix or answer. In the past 40 years, I have learned that there is no quick fix or magic answer to help us with our business and career growth. It takes effort like the caterpillar coming out of the chrysalis.
So how do we build this business strength so we can continue to fly?

Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick, author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Global Awakening which shares the notion that our challenges personally nationally and worldwide are not economic, political or societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Thad Cummings, author of Radical Compassion which shares Thad desire to serve the greatest good and visits third world nations where he learns about poverty empathy and the joys of living with love and purpose ending his thoughts that poverty has little to do with the materialist world.
As listeners of Healing From Within well know, Sheryl and her insightful guests share intimate views into the metaphysical world of energy and science, as they share the truth of Who we are? and why we are experiencing a duality of life as both physical and spiritual beings learning to merge both aspects of our totality in order to live our best lives and reach our true potential as we find life is a balance between the mysteries of an ever evolving Universe.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Thad Cummings will share thoughts on “Can compassion change the world? And if so, why hasn’t it happened already?”
When Thad is asked to think back and remember a person place or event that may have shown them the lifestyle work and interests they might pursue and value he tells of the return of his friend Chris from a mission to help others in third world countries and what seems to have been an inspiration for you to write Radical Compassion.
Thad tells us Chris’s story and writes, “It wasn’t what I expected.” There was a tension in his voice, an unexpected fusion of pain and remorse as his eyes returned to the rocky path ahead of us. He went on to explain that this was a mission trip to serve the “poor,” to try and help in one of the most impoverished areas in the world. After speaking for several minutes, Chris lifted his gaze again, but this time, with a hint of shame in his eyes. “I went there to have empathy for the poor, but the poor had empathy for me, for my lack of joy amongst all my riches. I thought I was going there to help save them, but they were the ones saving me…” The crisp, spring morning suddenly felt heavy.The crisp, spring morning suddenly felt heavy and the chorus of singing birds faded from my ears. How is it that humans in one of the world’s poorest villages, ravaged with famine, crime, drugs, no access to clean water or medical supplies, filled with diseases and infections, without electricity and hardly any shelter, were the ones having empathy for my friend? My friend, who lives in luxury with all modern conveniences never worrying where the next meal will come from. “The sense of community they had, the joy they shared with me, they had hardly any food but tried to feed me before themselves; the gratitude was unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed,” “They were the ones taking care of me, not the other way around.” One question was left suspended in the air between us – “What if it is me who is actually poor?”
Poor (adjective): lacking material possess; small in worth. – Merriam Webster Dictionary
What does it mean to be poor?
What does it really mean to be “poor”? Is it just a matter of material possessions? Throughout this book, Chris would like to expand the definition of “poor” from a statement about economics and wealth and evolve it into many aspects of life. To begin with, he would split the definition into four main categories: financially poor, poor in health, poor in education and resources, and poor in life and spirituality. These categories can then be further broken down. For example, those who are poor in life or spirit may feel: relationally poor, poor of passion, poor of love, poor in purpose, poor in faith, etc. Now Chris is not going to treat this like a textbook to cover each of the four categories with definitive examples in...
This is a mindfulness activity for teens. Are you ready for a new school year? Take a moment and write down a number from zero to ten, representing your emotional stress level. Zero means you are not experiencing any stress. You are relaxed and calm. Ten means your stress level is so high that you feel like a stressed cat climbing on your parents' drapes. Research supports that teenagers' stress levels surpass many adults' stress levels during the school year.
Dear teen friends, I invite you to get comfortable and find a comfortable position before beginning this mindfulness activity. Rate your level of emotional stress after the exercise. During this practice, you will notice I play soft instrumental music. When you practice next time, try using no music or music of your choice. If you are going to use music, it is suggested to use non-talking music (also called instrumental music) for the best results. Enjoy your practice. Focus on the now. Find a time that works for you. You do not need to dedicate hours of practice. A few moments of mindfulness practice can make a difference in lowering stress levels.

This week, Gina explains the #1 reason most women don’t recognize their own gifts & talents. And IF you’re wondering what your gifts are – you are in the right company.
Most women (and some men) live their life trying to perfect things they shouldn’t.
We are led to believe… IF we just take another course, try harder, and work longer at something… we WILL master it.
BUT that isn’t true.
Gina likes to uncover the truth and this episode will definitely do that.
What if, “what” doesn’t come easily… and NEVER will?
What if, your extra effort really WON’T change anything?
What if, this leads to frustration and doubt?
This happens. AND it happens often. AND it happens for different reasons.
We end up focusing on our weaknesses. This is evident in our schools. We then doubt we are gifted & talented.
It leaves us feeling without purpose.
We end up living a life that we’re not meant to live. AND walking away from the one that’s calling to us.
Listen as Gina explains the importance of your natural-born gifts & talents. AND how you can quickly and easily discover them using her proven formula.
It’s important to remember… you can NEVER be greater than you choose to see yourself.
When you remove the doubt and live from your gifts your unique purpose becomes more obvious with every step.

Marriage, like life, is filled with unexpected twists and turns. You can’t control what happens. You can only control how you respond. And that is where you will find unconditional love. This type of love doesn’t mean you accept any and all behavior from your partner, just that you accept them. This often can be a difficult distinction. Talk show host Betsy Wurzel walks through her journey to “deep, unconditional soul love connection” to her husband and reveals how much she received in return.
If you want a deeper connection with your partner, Lesli can help. Please share this life changing show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Well, well, well, that didn't take long-----just over 230 years for Federal agents to raid the home of a former President of the United States! Tyranny is on our shores again, but this time it's not the British, it very well may be our leaders who fear a man named Trump. What do the American people who love freedom and liberty need to do the most right now? Listen to this week's show with Doc Holliday to find out! Doc Holliday uses some sound clips from Fox News, Newsmax, and the War Room to help you get better informed. Don't miss this week's show because the future of our nation is in the balance! Click on now for Rock Splitting Politics!
The FBI raid on the Trump home in search of documents is an appalling, unprecedented act by the Administration of one President, attempting to find evidence of a crime so that it can try to imprison its opposition, a former President who is likely to again run against the current occupant of the White House.
Although the Democrats are celebrating this raid, the Republicans are furious. This has every appearance of Biden’s politicizing the Justice Department in order to attempt to silence, and if possible imprison, his opposition. Never before has such a bold and excessive action ever been taken in America.
We don’t yet know what specific pretext the Justice Department has given for this drastic measure. But if the raid does not uncover something really bad and atrocious done by Trump, then this will lead to either the resignation or impeachment of Attorney General Garland and FBI Director Wray.

Elaine Chandler-Harris can be described as quite an accomplished woman in her own right, for when you look at her life, she’s faced many challenges and has achieved many accolades, she holds a bachelor’s degree from Chicago State University, post-education credits in Media Communications, and a master’s degree in Education Administration from National-Louis University. In her professional life she taught languages and reading to middle grade students in high school. Outside of education she worked in public relations. Turning to her personal life Elaine is a great grandmother, she has one son Gregory, three grand children and two great Grandchildren. Elaine currently lives in Chicago Illinois in the U.S.
Writing has played a significant role in Elaine’s life; she sees herself as a free-spirited freelance writer who likes to dip her toes into various genres. While this book Linkages is her first novel, she has written articles that have been published in the Chicago Sun- Times Newspaper, Black Enterprise Magazine, and others. Elaine has dabbled with poetry and some of her poems have been published as compendiums in Chicago State, Illinois State and Jackson State Universities.
Check out our video chat here!
https://youtu.be/EPLqnxvlkN8
Elaine feels that she’s always had a creative mind and will indeed delve into mysteries of life that others might find intimidating, daunting, and dare I say disquieting. The book Linkages certainly falls into some of these areas as she tells this disturbing story of one highly dysfunctional family of Characters.
Linkages is a book that incorporates incest, murder, suicide, drug addiction, rape and molestation all with the confines of one Black African American family. The timeline of the book spans from the late 1930’s in Mississippi to Chicago in the 1960’s and what happens in Mississippi only reoccurs in Chicago, you’d be forgiven for thinking why didn’t this muddled up family learn from its misgivings in the first place and prevent at all costs repeat mis- happenings which would have avoided so much pain and physiological damage. An outsider would have run for the hills, why didn’t they. Maybe love is blind and maybe entrapment and controlling powers exists in many disguises in lots of families’ makeup, but of course those issues never see the light of day and are simply part of complex relationships that are endured for love.
Despite the turbulent lives Mamie, Spanky, Lottie, Raphael, Vicky, Teddy and Uncle Julian lead there is a positive ending, what that ending is, well you’ll simply have to read the book, for I’m not about to spill the beans here.
If you want more information about the author and the book you can head to Elaine’s webpage www.elainechandlerharris.com
To purchase the book you can go to Elaine’s webpage www.elainechandlerharris.com or her publishers webpage www.trafford.com search bookstore Elaine Chandler-Harris, or simply click the Amazon link below.

We're all boats on the thrashing sea of life. We rise and fall with the waves. People react differently in their tragedies. To read about how people overcome illnesses, war and emotional duress will inspire others to read this book and learn by example. Henry Krauss's aim is to instill hope in others.
From Dusk to Dawn: The Vicissitudes of Life by Henry Krauss is a unique poetry collection that manages to merge marvelous depictions of natural phenomena, family life, personal dramas, grief, and loss. The short verses are accompanied by photography and illustrations that match each poem’s scenario. With a picture of icicles slowly thawing in winter, a picture of an elegant elderly lady, an ominous ICU ward, or a chirping bird together, they conjure a picturesque, almost bucolic aesthetic. With an expansive range of topics, readers from all walks of life will find something that resonates with them in this impassioned book.
About Henry Krauss: Henry is an avid reader and writer. He retired from government work and now volunteers for the American Cancer Society helping patients get in touch with their thoughts and feelings using his publications, short stories and poetry.

Ancient Greek paganism revolves around a family story legendarily beginning upon the creation of the universe. Such primordial mythology reveals titanic power struggle within family hierarchy; Cronus the patriarch, Zeus his son, and Hermes (son of Zeus).
As per the story (or myth), Cronus desperately swallowed his baby boy (Zeus) to preserve his own power. This monstrous act was diabolically enheartened by an oracle predicting that the unborn Zeus would grow to overthrow Cronus just as Cronus overthrew his father (Uranus).
Hermes is said to carry a staff—the Caduceus, adorned with snakes and wings—currently serving as an institutional symbol for modern medicine. Is it potentially troublesome? Should Hermes "magic wand" be instituted as an emblem for public health? Have modern symbologists missed something here? Any potential occultic affects (or effects) possibly overlooked?
Hermes is innately of hermeticism. Hermeticism is regarded as a time-tested metaphysical (or theistic) philosophy that has historically thrived within "secretive societies" of Western esotericism. Throughout recent centuries, hermeticism has apparently been conditioned to fade from public consciousness whereby being generally ignored by establishment institutions seems of mutual design.
As illustrated within DaVinci’s Mental Code, hermeticism connects—across time—the following historical figures: prominent Roman (Byzantine) leaders of Christians, King Henry VIII, Medici family members, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Renaissance Venetians, and Leonardo da Vinci.
The audiobook contains a theory contending that whether centuries ago or today, hermeticism carries an inherent danger upon which Vitruvian Man (DaVinci’s enigmatic drawing) is proposed to issue timeless warning.
Theoretically, Leonardo grew wary of hermeticism and created his Vitruvian Man (in part) to help shine light on such a predacious doctrine as it darkly slithered about Renaissance Italy.
DaVinci’s Mental Code began shaping once Vitruvian Man’s left eye was revealed to look much darker than his right eye, while the "dual" hermetic principle seemed philosophically (or conceptually) connected.
About Palibor Iversune: Palibor Iversune considers himself a citizen of earth while keeping a national passport. He thinks racism is ridiculous yet carries Human pride. Palibor never authored a book before, but somehow it seemed to write itself. If his character reveals paradox, then the ‘culprit’ may be cosmic duality of force. He ultimately believes in an ideal of the One love. You can find out more about Palibor & his book, DaVinci's Mental code at his website https://www.davincimentalcode.com/ and on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

Kellie Earl is a child of the fifties in Melbourne, Australia. She is a successful author but not content with her lot. Jana, her mother, is Russian-born, and Kellie longs to hear of the life she left behind. She wants to know the identity of her father, but the pain is too much for Jana to disclose, as is the truth about Kellie’s half-brother. Her mother’s wealthy husband, George Spiatis, taunts Kellie. It is perhaps this abusive influence that changes Kellie into Miss Zed, a cold-hearted murderess.
In the case of George, the villain becomes the victim, and Kellie feels as if she was practically set up to kill this monster of a man. Lies now become half-truths as imagination protects Kellie from life’s harsh reality. You might want to believe her innocent. You might label her “too cute” to be anything short of charming. Perhaps you will even label her the victim as Kellie travels within the dark walls of Fairlea Women’s Prison, where she finds light at the end of her dismal tunnel.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Anne M. Mulcahy
“One of the things we often miss in succession planning is that it should be gradual and thoughtful, with lots of sharing of information and knowledge, and perspective, so that it’s almost a non-event when it happens."

Being in business for over 20 years I am busy running my business and sometimes we business owners forget that our lengthy to-do lists will never compete!
As I am aging, I have thought about succession planning to either sell my business in the next decade or my kids choose to take it over. Either way, I need to infrastructurally as well as organizationally have a plan that allows me the opportunity to step aside and cash out.
Some interesting stats: 70% of business owners are looking to fund their retirement from the value of their business - yet only 2% know how much their business is worth. When the owner and their business have an actionable plan it makes the business worth it no matter when the business owner leaves.
About Christine Nicholson:
Christine and I are going to discuss the topic of generating real value that business owners can extract to fund a better retirement AND leave a thriving business for the next owners. It all starts with letting go.
Christine is a multi-award-winning professional business mentor with 40 years of experience. She has written 4 books, spoken at over 200 events, is qualified as an accountant, and has a law degree and a couple of other master’s degrees.

Or can you just relax into your marriage and know that everything will be okay? How you answer these questions reveals how you function in close relationships. It’s a pattern established early in your life that is having an impact in the here and now.

What a great quote and reminder that we are truly the master of ourselves. Sometimes I feel like we give away our power because we are not sure what the next step is that we should be taking. So, I know for me, sometimes I don’t move forward for fear of making a misstep!
What I have also learned through the years, is that there are really no missteps especially if we learn from what we perceive as a mistake. The other thing I have learned is that steps, even if not the perfect choice, still move us closer to our desired outcome or goals. I think it’s all about movement and tuning into our inner wisdom.
So how do we tune into our inner wisdom? Glad you asked…

After the Supreme Court issued the last of its annual rulings in late June 2022, we are now in a position to evaluate how the Court is doing. Frankly, the Court has never been better during the last 60 years. A solid majority of the Supreme Court holds a conservative view about the role of the Court to exercise restraint in taking cases, in resolving issues, and in recognizing the rights of the states (federalism). The three Justices appointed by President Trump have had an important, positive effect in restoring a majority of the Court to a proper judicial view of how the courts, including the Supreme Court, should function in a democratic republic.
This podcast discusses seven recent Supreme Court cases that establish proper views about the constitution and individual rights. These cases include: Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health (abortion/fetal rights); West Virginia v. EPA (climate change); Federal Election Commission v. Cruz (free speech and campaign finance law); Carson v. Makin (school vouchers for religious schools); Kennedy v. Bremerton (prayer by coach at school); New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. v. Bruen (Second Amendment); and Biden v. Texas (immigration).
This is an informative discussion of key 2022 Supreme Court cases.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not economic political or societal but a spiritual disconnect from our inner source of soul awareness or true being. Today Sheryl is delighted to welcome Kathryn Tristan, author of Why Worry? Stop Coping and Start Living who is a research scientist and assistant professor of medicine at the Washington School of Medicine.
Over the years guests of Healing from within have come to expect Sheryl and her guests to share intimate and personal insights into the nature of the human condition, health, and learning ways to merge all aspects of energetic and physical life for solutions to our traumas fears and limitations so we may make better choices to create a loving prosperous and healthy lifestyle.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Kathryn Tristan will help us navigate and understand that with the US cases of coronavirus climbing everyday and no sign of stay at home orders letting up, many citizens in isolation are worried anxious and unclear of their current and future situations, due to this uninvited and unnatural Covid- 19 world pandemic. The excessive amount of fear, stress and mis messages being dispersed from the media online, on our social channels and on television about the virus and its effects has created a disturbance in the 2020 election and how elected officials are making many unwise decisions. She will help listeners to focus our minds to overcome worry and anxiety using simple and easy tools of the mind, body and spirit not just for this difficult time but to benefit us all the time.
When Kathryn is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to them or to others around them what values and interests she might pursue as an adult for Sheryl believes within the heart and soul of the child is the destiny or life plan that will unfold and guide them forward Kathryn immediately tells of her difficult childhood an alcoholic father a divorce but a mother who shared her faith and metaphysical views that allowed Kathryn to eventually conquer her fear of not being perfect and not able to take risks so she could move beyond her comfort zone which she began to do as she matured.
We are aware that everyone to one degree or another is worried and stressed, but when do we know we are hitting the RED ZONE? We all worry. It’s a natural part of living. A biologically built-in mechanism, worry was designed to help us. Where do we go wrong? For millions worldwide, worries are eating away at our sense of security and our feelings of well-being, and are ultimately downsizing our happiness while supersizing our stress. We cannot open a newspaper, turn on the television, listen to the radio, or surf the internet without witnessing chaos, catastrophes, or just plain old bad news. Our personal lives also are challenged. Work, home, relationships, finances, health: each aspect is one ball in our juggling act.
We must come to understand what worry is. Worry is a multifaceted emotion with many forms and intensities. In its simplest understanding, worry is a response to a stressful situation that is fueled by analysis, imagination, and often exaggeration. Depending on your responses and the mix of these three elements, worry may help you solve a problem or overwhelm you with fears about future calamities. Worry is the hub, the nucleus, the center from which many other emotions emanate, such as anxiety, panic, and depression. Worry levels can range from mild to severe. There are three levels of worry.At Level 1, worry is the little voice that alerts you to possible trouble ahead. When you resolve worry at this level, it can provide helpful input regarding the situation that needs to be addressed....
Today we will practice a session on moving through negative emotions. I recommend getting into a comfortable position before starting the session. Be open to bringing your thoughts and your openness into your awareness. I invite you to be curious to discover the "true you" that you know is within the bellows of your mind, your heart, and your soul. The business of our everyday life tends to drive materialistic things in front of our consciousness and push moments of self-compassion and peaceful resolutions into a hidden space. During this session, we're not going to allow the disruption of our emotions in response to change to take away our peace. So join me during this practice session to help bring forth a positive part of you in the face of negativity. I encourage you to practice.
If there is one thing I want you to know, it’s that you have more power than you know and you are able to claim that power for yourself to have a completely different life experience. My guest for today is Adora Winquist and we have a conversation about how we can understand the tools that are available to use for healing, empowering and liberating ourselves along our life paths.
Adora is the author of the book Detox Nourish Activate: Plant & Vibrational Medicine for Energy, Mood & Love. This book is a revolutionary guide to personal growth designed to deepen your understanding of your trigger points and unwanted patterns with a step by step road map of practical and accessible tools and techniques to transform your life into the one you were born to live. This is the first book to combine physical, mental and spiritual based health in a way that is practical and accessible with the versatile range of over 10 alternative modalities to heal, transform and awaken the potential within your DNA.
Adora has a unique way of explaining things that I think you are going to really appreciate after listening to this episode. Adora shares her thoughts on how we can heal on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level, what personal empowerment is and how we can claim it, paying attention to synchronicities and learning how to trust ourselves so we can access deeper parts of ourselves. Adora also explains how we can use plants as a way to retrain the pathways in our brain to change our trigger points and unwanted patterns. If you are looking for a practical conversation about how you can start to heal and empower yourself, this episode is for you!

Life would be so much easier for all of us if we just believed that God is handling it all. We give Him our problems, and He handles them. He gives us the solutions to them. No need to worry or have anxieties about them.
The trouble occurs when we give Him our problems, and then take them back to fret over them! Do we enjoy being unhappy? Maybe so. However, given the choice, we would prefer being happy over being sad.
God is our answer in every case. He created us and wants us to return to Him. Why not start now, instead of waiting until we are on our deathbed? It’s never too late to return to God. He is the answer to all of your problems. He is kind and compassionate, and only wants you to love Him as He so loves us. Never falter from God. Let Him into your life on a daily basis. Stay close to Him, and He will reward you greatly. Now is the time to act. Our world can be saved. There is still time to act. His loving arms are open to you. Let Him into your hearts and minds, and know that He is there for you always and in all ways. It is never too late. His love for you is eternal. Stay as close to Him as you possibly can by keeping Him in your daily life.

Denise Bachrodt comes from a beautiful part of the world, Aspen a small town in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Most of us of course identify Aspen as the world-famous ski resort patronized by the rich and famous, but for Denise it’s simply home, and yes, she loves to ski, but equally she enjoys the outdoor life, walking in the mountains on a warm summer’s day which gives her the time to reflect and meditate. Meditation is important to Denise as it gives her the opportunity to break away from the busy corporate IBM world and reflect on what really matters to her and that is listening to God and the messages, he has for her. This part of her life is fundamental to her very being, it’s her heart and soul, the key to her existence.
The book was written at a challenging and troublesome time in Denise’s life as she faced up to the difficulties of divorce and all the stress related issues associated with that controversy. Where does Denise’s faith originate? a faith she turns to daily, maybe the answer to that question lies deep within her Polish routes. I can only surmise when Denise was writing the book at such a discerning time did she feel the Lord had abandoned her and I immediately recall the prayer/poem ‘Footprints in the Sand’ – “ Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why in times when I needed you the most, you should leave me.” The Lord replied,” My precious child, I love you, and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.” Or was her faith strengthened so much so the messages she received empowered her to write about them- hence the book.
So, let’s look at the book. The core of the book has 6 chapters and within each chapter is a collection of messages which for me are loosely based around the theme of the chapter.
Chapter 1 – Hope for a Despairing World
Chapter 2 – Love of All Mankind
Chapter 3 – Our Future
Chapter 4 – Remaining in the Present Moment
Chapter 5 – How God Speaks to us. Do not Worry or Fret
Chapter 6 – God Speaks to us always and in all Ways

For me the messages within the general themes are significantly poignant/relevant as to what is going on in the world today, I found them thoughtful, beautifully written and executed. The reflective tones made be stop and think, is there hope in a despairing world? is God in control? and is all the trouble and strife that we see going on around us part of God’s plan to make us see who we truly are? Is he trying to show us the errors of our ways and that there is still time for mankind to adjust his ways before time is called? I hope so.
Denise thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to you about yourself and the significant messages you have so lovingly created in this important book of yours. Let’s hope all those that read the book take something away from what you’ve said.

In this episode, Dr. Erhard Vogel and I talk about what it means to resist our current circumstances and what happens when we try to act from that place of chaos. When we aren’t acting in accordance with who we are, we cause ourselves a lot of pain and suffering. Erhard shares his thoughts on what it takes to come to awareness & acceptance of where you are and the right kind of action to take from the right kind of teacher. Acceptance with what is doesn’t mean you are going to stay in a place you don’t like. In fact, it’s the opposite. Acceptance means you are in touch with yourself enough to listen to your internal cues and respond to those signals to create something new. If you are resisting something and want to understand more about yourself to change your experience, this episode is for you.
As I’ve been asking after all these interviews with Erhard: What is next for you? What action will you take as a result of listening to this episode? Every month we pose a challenge to you, the listener, asking what is next for you after listening to this episode. And we are asking you the same this month! One action you could take right now is to reach out to Erhard and I and let us know how you plan to implement what you heard in this episode. Please reach out and share your thoughts! Have you been able to experience anything different as a result of this conversation? Please let us know! We welcome any questions or comments you have or any other topics you would like us to cover.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick author of the newest book in her trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our problems are not economic political or societal just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom and Sheryl is delighted today to welcome actor Royce Christyn from the Disney Channel and author of Scripting The Life You Want who will share ground breaking science focusing on journal entries that detail his big breakthrough to land a lead guest starring role on Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place.As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware, the harnessing of energetic thought and action can make a world of difference in our health, happiness and our self -development. As spiritual beings having a physical life we must learn to use all our unseen talents and potential to thrive beyond what the physical world displays, and what is within us, to alter negativity and create positivity beyond fear and limitation. It is a process of living well that we seek to find and implement into our everyday lives. We create and transform reality.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Royce Christyn details a simple scripting process that harnesses the Law of Attraction and manifests much of what you want in your life—happiness wealth, travel love , health the perfect career or simply a good day. It might seem like magic to some folks but actually it is based on science intuition and inner life experience as well as an awareness of the true nature oflife.Royce when asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that might have signaled to him or those close to what lifestyle he might choose as an adult immediately mentions his mother and grandmother who were open minded open hearted aware of the nature of intuitive life psychics and a higher reality.Royce comes from a family who believes in serendipitous events, maybe even miracles. He tells the story of his mother and father who visited the small barrier islands where the border of Maryland meets Virginia the Assateague and Chincoteague Islands the weekend she knew she was pregnant with Royce because she saw a backward falling star that night not falling from the sky but rising up from the ocean and flying upward in an arc into the sky. Not believing in aliens, what could this phenomenon have been? At the same time she saw this she called her husband in from the ocean and then saw sharks nearby and was glad he didn’t become Jaws dinner. My mom and grandmother started teaching me concepts related to creating your own reality when I was very young. When most of my friends were going to Hebrew school and Sunday school, they were teaching me how to meditate and write down affirmations. So while the concept of creating my own reality was not new, creating on demand that I was learning was completely foreign.Fifteen years later when the family was driving down to that spot and Royce’s mind was consumed with negative thoughts as a result of a fight with his best friend the batteries in his CD went out and my mom and I who have always been very connected noticed and handed him a book Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn dealing with the Law of Attraction. My mom wasn’t into the book but Royce took a highlighter and began to absorb the thoughts and ideas. Though Royce was young, in his gut he knew that by selecting an ultimate goal and keeping that thought primarily active in our thoughts you could create or manifest the best things in your life.One of the ideas expressed by Stephen Hawking author of Black Holes and Baby Universes who was a scientist who lived with ASL longer than most people wrote, “I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before we cross the road.”Sheryl Says…I always tell clients as an intuitive energy healer and...
This week Gina shares tips for breaking free from the greatest force that’s holding your most amazing future hostage. (HINT: it’s probably making your life feel pretty dull and repetitive too.)
We are constantly asked to move away from our truth, desires, and gifts to “fit in”, keep the peace, and not outshine others.
This leads us down a dark path. An uncomfortable path. One where our most amazing future is held hostage.
Here, we find we cannot find the peace in who we become. AND, we are (even) more likely to diminish our (own) light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said it beautifully… “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
Listen as Gina explains how natural and rewarding it IS to be ourselves.
And how an authority problem might be in your way. The other authority problem… the one no one talks about. Today, let’s give it a voice and free ourselves from its strong hold.
Learn how to easily and quickly break from this great force starting today.
By the end you’ll be ready to decide and choose… to be your EXQUISITE self.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Laura Holloway
“Storytelling is our obligation to the next generation. If all we are doing is marketing, we are doing a disservice, not only to our profession, but to our children, and their children. Give something of meaning to your audience by inspiring, engaging, and educating them with the story. Stop marketing. Start storytelling.”

I believe we all love a good story. In fact, we watch movies and TV shows because we love the storytelling that happens within them and the journey they take us on. But somehow in business, I think, we get a disconnect between storytelling and our brand.
Like me, I am sure many businesses spend tons of money on marketing, believing that it will make a difference. Sometimes I feel like we are missing the greatest marketing advantage each of us has…and that is telling our story…our unique story that could resonate with more potential customers and clients.
The fact is businesses need more than marketing, we need storytelling of our brand.

Kim Ades
That's exactly right. And if we can start to learn to exert a certain kind of approach or a muscle that allows us to look at the events and try to find the good part in them that silver lining, the lesson, the opportunity in those events, then we sort of start to build a bit of a strategic advantage. I think that for me, developed at a very, very young age.

N. Riley Heagerty has spent the past thirty years doing the indispensable work of researching and documenting the great Physical Mediums of Historic Spiritualism, from the mid-1800s to about 1960. He has published a number of very good books, including The French Revelation about the independent voice medium Emily French; Portraits from Beyond about the Bangs Sisters; The Direct Voice about the medium Elizabeth Blake; and Spectral Evidence Volumes I and II, which are compilations of mind-blowing mediumistic events during the heyday of English Spiritualism. Riley has also sat with most of the current internationally known physical mediums, and his wife Caroline is a practicing Clairvoyant medium in her own right. Now Spectral Evidence Volume III is out, and Riley is with us in fine form to talk about that book.
This is Dr. David Pomeroy, your host of ADHD Focus, the podcast with the goal of exploding the myth-information about ADHD out there. Welcome back to round 2 of my discussion with Jeff Copper, ADHD Coach and creator of DigCoaching, about the basic elements of coping with ADHD which you may be missing. His podcast is available on attentiontalkradio, his website is www.digcoaching.com. Awareness is the key, not only becoming aware of the elements themselves but also of how you may be ignoring them and not even aware of it. We all have many choices of where we can direct our attention. Don't let it be directed by forces outside yourself, don't surrender your choices. Listen and learn!
Here's a little something extra from the Young Crones Cafe. Get a little bit of information about how Witches celebrate the upcoming Sabbat of Loafmas aka Lammas, Lughnasadh, or First Harvest depending on what you choose to call it. There is also a quick idea about connecting with the Element of Air for the season.
In June, 2022, the Supreme Court eventually did overturn Roe v. Wade, returning to the States the power to resolve the boundaries and limits of the fetal right to life and the woman’s right to control her body. The Dobbs case will become one of the most important Supreme Court decisions of our lifetime. Today’s Supreme Court reprimanded the 1973 Court for its egregious ruling in Roe v. Wade that usurped the right of the states to regulate abortion and fetal rights. Dobbs returned that power to the states and to elected legislators.
Democrats have already effectively marshalled forces to decry Dobbs as the product of right-wing extremists on the Supreme Court who have taken away from women the right to an abortion. Republicans will take a beating in this public debate unless they figure out how to succinctly praise Dobbs by pointing out that Dobbs has restored democracy in America by returning to the states the power to identify the limits of competing rights, and to take this power away from unelected judges. The Dobbs case corrected the egregious error made by the Supreme Court in Roe.
Those who oppose Dobbs implicitly repudiate democratic principles. The woman’s right to control her body is not eliminated by Dobbs, but states now must determine its boundaries, balanced against the fetal right to life. Different states may resolve this balancing differently, but determining the balance will be done by legislators, and not by judges.
Proposed congressional legislation seeks to codify Roe so that prior to viability of the fetus, the woman’s right to an abortion is absolute. However, if such legislation were to pass, it would likely be unconstitutional.
In this podcast we discuss these and other issues.
I am honored and touched to have Claretta Burns (my dear sister-in-law) on the show. Claretta opens up and shares her journey about the turmoil in picking herself up and discovering a renewed desire and purpose for her life. Claretta shares how her mental and physical outlook changed. She shares the golden words that helped her early in her journey that would be a lifesaver for her even today. Claretta is a cancer survivor. Claretta's mission is to share what she learned in the journey to fight for her life. In this session, Claretta shares how acceptance and “change of perception” positively helped promote her health.

It’s funny how important PR is to any business and yet for me, I feel like I don’t fully understand the many outlets that exist, how to tap into the correct platforms or resources, and lastly how to stand out and remain relevant for the long game.
Being an expert in sales is a far cry from understanding, let alone being a PR expert.

“Being lost is what nearly killed me. But being lost is also how I learned what it is to be alive.” – Rudo Savage
A powerful, humbling account of what it feels like to struggle with identity, purpose, direction and meaning in life. All whilst trying to juggle the overwhelming challenge of life as a single mother, a nurse, a young adult, and everything in between.
This unique approach between a poetic memoir and journaling takes you on the harrowing transitioning period from attempting suicide to finding the strength to return to the normalities of life, whilst still navigating in the realms of being a lost soul.
This book epitomizes what it is like to not have it all together, and to be constantly battling against the rising pressures and standards that society throws at us, whilst desperately trying to form some kind of identity that resonates purely and truly to ourselves.
This book is the sign that it is okay to be lost.This book is the sign that will give you comfort in being lost.This book is the understanding that you are not alone.From one lost soul to another.Being lost is not the ending.Being lost is the most important part of the journey.
We can never be found if we are not lost in the first place.

Rudo is passionate about yoga, reading, travelling and spirituality. In her life, spirituality became more important to her after nearly losing her own life to mental health. As a first-time author, Rudo has found that writing has helped her to heal, and finally acknowledge the pain that she had been feeling, after battling with her mental health for fifteen years. Through her words, she aims to help others and become an advocate for those who have felt as lost as her. Her primary message is that what may seem impossible at first is always possible when we learn to shine a light into the dark places.

In today's episode of The Rover Reporter, Dr. Erhard Vogel, founder of the Nataraja Yoga and Meditation Center discusses his profound love and respect for canines.
Unlike humans, dogs appreciate the moment. Is it their keen sense of observation through smell and hearing or is it just that they are seriously more evolved than we think?
We'll hear about Erhard's travels through the Himalaya's and how he came to teach alongside the Sages. What was the culture around dogs in India in the 70's?

This is the second book in Linda Harkey’s latest series of ‘Travels With The Pack’ aimed at 4–8-year-olds. The story is set in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and tells the adventurous tales of the day in the life of four enchanting and irrestible characters. Rodney is a brown-and-black speckled roadrunner who along with his best friend Quincy a Gambel’s quail chat away to each other as they go about their daily activities including lunch options, up to the point when Gator and Tripod two German shorthaired pointers appear on the scene. On seeing Gator, Quincy is reminded that the quail hunting season must be back in force but before that stark reality hits him an unexpected turn of events takes them all by surprise putting Tripod the three-legged pointer in a precarious predicament. The friends create a cunning plan to restore order back into their day especially Tripods.
The other book in the series which is the first is ‘Chatty The Hen Pheasant’ and is set against a snowy backdrop in South Dakota on a grey November day. Nassau a black labrador retriever is determined to retrieve a pheasant for his master who’s known simply as the Great One. This simple but endearing story tells the tale of how Nassau sniffed out Chatty from under the snow the conversation the two of them had as Nassau in the blinding snow blizzard returns to his master with his prize only to be disappointed with his master’s actions as Chatty is released as she’s a hen pheasant. The Great One was after a cock pheasant. Poor Nassau it wasn’t his day.
Both Books are enchanting, endearing, and beautifully told with a unique twist of fun to them. The illustrations by Mike Minick bring a magical touch of awe and a sense of reality for a young child to envisage.

How are you sabotaging yourself in dealing with ADHD? And you are, all of us with ADHD are doing it. Maybe you are working on organization, time management, getting things done. BUT if those are the only strategies you are using to deal with your ADHD you are missing the essential basics, the foundation which makes the strategies work.
My guest today is Jeff Copper, ADHD Coach extraordinaire, host of the podcast ASDF on attentiontalkradio, blogger, the mind and energy behind DigCoaching. We discuss how you can break these habits which are holding you back, developing awareness of your choices about sleep, about diet, about intentional physical activity (aka exercise), your emotions, how you spend your time, about your life. We do not have to surrender our choices to outside influences nor to our past. Listen and learn!
Jeff has a different perspective on coaching, learn about his coaching practice DIG Coaching on his website digcoaching.com and his ideas on his podcast on attentiontalkradio.
[Jeff and I give massive credit to Alan Brown, the force behind Crusher TV, for the initial material on this topic which he presented years ago. Alan's podcast detailing the brain hacks for “Top Ten things you are doing wrong for ADHD” is http://tobtr.com/6809403 ]
Image Transformations of the Brain-Mind is Glen Just's latest book that addresses basic questions about SELF and CONSCIOUSNESS. Dr. Just has two major concerns—how the mind emerges from its fetal beginning and ma tures through adulthood to enable free will (the Supervening SELF) and how sensory image transformations of the brain-mind lead to subjective experience. This book shares numerous insights into:
Virtually transformed sensory images that feel like a little person (homunculus) in our brains.How the Physical-SELF is transformed into the Virtual-SELF.How the SELF in dreams feels just as real as it does in waking.The author’s dream classifications according to type of sensory experience.Transformative brain-mind images that underlie altered mental states and various religious experiences.How dream memories and the 24-hour mind become waking déjà vu experiences.Psychological and philosophical questions of autonomy and determinism.
Image transformations by our brains are key to understanding dreams, hallucinations, and the contents of other states of consciousness. Being able to interpret brain-mind image transformations provides insight into age-old questions such as what consciousness is, and what is that thing in our minds that feels like a little person; that thing that has been called historically by names like soul, self, ego, psyche, or mind.
Image Transformations of the Brain-Mind is grounded in research across multiple disciplines and thus goes beyond popular dream mythology. The book offers dozens of analyzed dreams and their image transformations to help the reader interpret their own dreams and nightmares. The reader will discover that a personal ability to successfully interpret nightmares brings about their automatic elimination.
About Glen Just: Glen Just is a retired professor from the Minnesota State University System. He has spent his professional life teaching, researching and administering programs in the social and behavioral sciences as they relate to offenders and the mentally ill in America’s Criminal Justice System. He is retired and lives with his wife Ruby in Kennewick, Washington. You can get your copy of Image Transformations of the Brain-Mind: Experiencing the Emergent Supervening Self on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

Summary: Today we enter into a mysterious, fantasy world. It’s 2000 BC Scotland and the skies are filled with dragons because this episode of Newsgram is based on the book The Prophecy by J.B. Liquorish.
How many times has your life been turned upside down by the appearance of a key? What is this key for? Should I throw it away or put it back in the drawer? It usually goes back in the drawer because all I’ve ever found were ordinary keys. Nothing you could describe as otherworldly, mythical or even fancy.
Warwick on the other hand was given a most unusual key. One he found highly curious. A most interesting key. It looked like an ancient enemy. An enemy believed to be a myth.
Yes, I’ve drifted off into a world of make believe in a place very much like middle-earth. Join me as we head back in time to the era when dragons filled the skies over Scotland. Why? Because this edition of Newsgram is based on the book “The Prophecy” by J.B. Liquorish.
Music
Excerpt 1 (Setting): The year was 2000 BC, and times were dark. War had suffocated the world, and all sense of peace had been lost. Foe after foe came, deadly foes, the like of which had never before emerged in the world. But they never walked upon the earth; they ruled the skies and struck down from the high winds like a thunderstorm with powers that seemed endless. Wherever these foes struck, only death, destruction, and fire would remain. Hope for the survival of civilization waned; however, when humanity is threatened, humanity fights back!
J.B. Liquorish: And what I wanted to do straightaway was to combine my love of J.R.R.Tolkien, Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, with my own experiences of Hiking through Scotland cause I knew the landscape so well. The idea was to take the imagination and magic that was sort of inspired by Tolkien and then bring it into the real Scotland that everyone knows today. So you marry the two together and it just seemed the perfect idea, and then all the characters, all the locations, the story all just fell into place, and I just knew exactly what I wanted to write.
Not only has he done that, he’s done it so well that people are starting to take notice. The Prophecy is a good old fashioned fantasy novel filled with everything you could want - especially dragons and not just the occasional dragon. In this story the people of Scotland are always feeling the threat of these fiery beasts. They live in desperation and combined with the majesty of Scotland it’s no wonder this book is being met with critical acclaim.
J.B. Liquorish: I am absolutely flattered with how well my book has done especially since it’s my first novel. When I first wrote it it was just gonna be something nice for myself, a really nice achievement and since it’s publication it’s met such success which has blown my mind and it’s won several awards within months of it being published. And then recently I had a really amazing first place award. It won first place in the paranormal category and I thought wow, my first novel and it’s won a first place award, absolutely amazing.
The main character is Warwick, a young man living with his parents in a small stone house in Scotland. He’s a very relatable character who takes on an extraordinary journey.
J.B. Liquorish: But throughout the journey, he’s not just journeying to find answers to this prophecy, he’s journeying to find his inner self that’s been lost and taken from him so it’s more a journey of the inner self as well as a journey of the external self.
Music
Excerpt 2 (The Key): Curiosity and concern stung Warwick. The parcel in his hand felt weighty and hard. Not being able to bear the suspense of what had just come to light, he opened it quickly. What he saw sitting on the cloth confused him greatly, but had he known what would become of it, he would not have been confused but scared. Why had he been given a key? he kept asking himself. It was the most unusual key you would ever see.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick, Reiki Master Teacher/medium and author of her newest book in a trilogy: “A New Life Awaits,” which shares stories and messages from Spirit showing us that our challenges are not economic, political, or societal, just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Today Sheryl is delighted to welcome Danah Mor, author of “Shine Brighter Everyday,” a nutrition expert and Ayurvedic practitioner, placing balance and joy at the center of everything. As listeners of "Healing From Within" are so well aware Sheryl and her guests and share intimate insights into the nature of our physical and spiritual energies in order to facilitate a clear understanding of who we are and how we may begin to utilize the combined essence of our dual natures as energetic and physical beings to create healthy happy and fulfilled lives.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Danah Mor who works with a variety of people across the globe and whose credentials include a degree In Ayurvedic Medicine from Manipal Medical and certification from Hippocrates Health Institute. Her larger mission, MorLife Wellness equips people with tools for prevention so that they can thrive, and shine brighter every day.When Danah is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person, place or event that might have shown her or others around her the adult lifestyle and interests she might Danah tells us that she was nine years old her Mum introduced us to her dear friend, Dr Verma. We called him Verma G, the “G” denoting respect for elders in Indian culture. Verma G was a third generation Indian Ayurvedic doctor who was initially taught by his grandfather, a very well-known Ayurvedic physician in Agra, India. Ayurveda, being one of the oldest medical systems in the world, was naturally passed down through generations. Verma G was always laughing or dancing, singing or chanting, and it seemed like no problem or discomfort was ever too complicated for him. There was always a simple solution for everything. He was so much fun to be around. He made the most delicious meals, and we used to make food and eat all together and dance on our summer holidays in Israel. That summer, Danah had her first Ayurvedic consultation, and will always remember that Verma G told her she was predominantly pitta dosha, which meant she had a lot of fire element in her body’s constitution. He told her to take extra care in the summer season and to eat lots of cooling and refreshing foods, like watermelon and salads, and to drink a lot of water and fresh mint tea. He explained that it was very important that she eat on time (when hungry), and that if she didn’t, it could cause irritability and mood swings. With the help of her mum, we quickly adopted these suggestions, and before Danah knew it, she no longer got heat rashes, overheated, or had irritable mood swings! From that moment onward, she was in awe of Ayurveda. How could it know me better than I knew myself?Danah Mor says she wrote this book because we all have the right to the truth, nothing but the truth. But somehow we don’t have access to it. We have become disconnected to the basics in life. If electricity stops tomorrow, we are all doomed. If I handed you a bag of seeds because that was all there was to survive, I think it’s safe to say that we would all be screwed. Most of us don’t know where our liver is, why our minds don’t stop, or what it means when our stomach hurts. We have lost our innate capacity to care for ourselves. I’ve met so many people that want to feel better, but they don’t know how. They’re off spending tons of money trying to buy healthier products, but fooled by health marketing. I’ve seen too many people lose their life at too young an age to diseases that are curable and preventable. I’ve met so many children and young adults who have lost their quality of life to conditions that are reversible. This doesn’t make sense.
I am honored and touched to have Claretta Burns (my dear sister-in-law) on the show.

Claretta shares how her mental and physical outlook changed. She shares the golden words that helped her early in her journey that would be a lifesaver for her even today. Claretta is a cancer survivor. Claretta's mission is to share what she learned in the journey to fight for her life.

Check Out These Highlights: Recently I had a conversation with my oldest son about good and bad bosses and that there is much to learn from both types.
I also shared that in my 20 years in corporate, before I started my buses 21 years ago, I had one amazing leader and 6 really bad bosses. Notice I used the word boss for the bad ones and leader for the good one.
I believe that bosses think they are right because they are the boss. End of story! While leaders seek others’ opinions to gain a greater perspective of the situation, the organization's strategic plan, etc.
It starts with the leader at the top and works its way down. If good leadership is not demanded by the organizational culture, in my experience the bad bosses live and thrive.

I feel so many of us feel like we are on that darn hamster wheel, running and often going nowhere! I often think about how we can stop and choose a better balance in our lives. Believe me, I know this is not an easy objective. I do know it’s a critical objective to think about and create change wherever possible.

Anger and I are old friends. And if my husband wasn’t the calm, level-headed guy that he is, we wouldn’t still be married. Because anger can be very destructive. Used properly, it can also bring necessary change. It is a powerful emotion and not all anger is created equal. Author and Clinical Psychologist Dr. Kelly Flannagan explains how you can learn to identify unproductive, even harmful anger, and, more importantly, how to get a handle on it so it doesn’t destroy your marriage.
If anger is wreaking havoc on your marriage, Lesli can help. Please share this important show with those you care about on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram,
This week, Gina shares why 90% of self-help is counterproductive and takes you down the wrong path. (Hint: It doesn’t work and it can’t work.)
The self-improvement industry IS a big busine$$ with many players all boasting their best advice. BUT is that advice BEST for you?!
Sure… I won’t be making many friends by telling you 90% of what you read, hear, or are taught isn’t for you. BUT, it’s the truth.Think about it… how much money do you think you’ve invested in self-help in the past year? Past 5 years? Past 10 years? (I’m guessing a lot more than you want to admit.)
IF 90% of what you invested in worked… would we really be meeting like this?
Learn the best practices SO you can properly invest your time, money, and energy (even) more wisely. AND find the real MAGIC of self-improvement… transformation.
So, you can be the greatest force for good in your world starting today.
NEVER go down the wrong path again.

On July 20, 2022, President Joe Biden announced that the climate change problem was getting worse, and that we now have an emergency. He said that human kind was now in a “Code Red,” and that because Congress would not act to protect the climate, then he would soon issue Executive Orders to do so. President Biden is wrong. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about; he just repeats what he’s been told by his handlers.
While President Biden is crying that "the sky is falling," the U. S. Supreme Court recently dealt the greenies a major defeat in the case of West Virginia v. EPA, in which the Court prevented the Government from using Section 111 of the Clean Air Act to shut down coal-burning power plants. This is a great victory for true science, which disputes that the human burning of fossil fuels is leading to catastrophe for the planet.
Still lacking from the media’s treatment of climate change is any discussion of the science. This omission is baffling and annoying. Let’s have a legitimate debate about the issues that scientists debate: Is the small amount of warming leading to serious problems? Are human-caused CO2 emissions endangering the planet? Are we experiencing more extreme weather events? The fact that the media will not debate these issues is an indication that they do not want to be bothered by the facts and the science.
Let the debate begin! The green extremists will be exposed.

Warren Wallace, a law firm partner doing criminal defense work, hadn’t had any dating experience in the year since his wife, Sarah, had lost her battle with stage four metastatic breast cancer. His psychiatrist had been working with him through the recognized five stages of grief and loss------denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. They were on the fifth stage, acceptance.
Warren enjoyed playing golf, and one of his frequent playing partners at the Haverford Golf and Country Club was Brenda Lamb, Deputy District Attorney and head of the Homicide Division at the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, District Attorney’s Office. She, like his psychiatrist, felt he should start dating and Brenda arranged a blind date with one Darcy McClelland, a new assistant district attorney in the Criminal Division.
The novel begins with a gruesome murder at a golf club on the Main Line outside of Philadelphia and continues with the investigation that leads to revelations concerning insider trading of stocks. As the case unfolds, a romance blooms between Warren Wallace, a golf club member, and Darcy McClelland, an Assistant District Attorney assigned to the investigative team.
About John Jenchura: John Jenchura is the author of two editions of a highly acclaimed history of golf entitled Golf, A Good Work and Then Some – A Quintessential History of the Game. Having mainly read non-fiction (primarily golf and impressionist art books), he started looking for a fiction genre to write. He read some historical fiction to bridge the gap between non-fiction and fiction. Then he read around 50 murder mysteries, settling on murder/ mysteries/romance. The result is in your hands. This book is his first work of fiction. You can get your copy of Persons of Interest on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

Based on Kate Spencer's book - Trapped by the Devil
Kate Spencer committed a crime. It was a decision that took her a path of destruction for 15 years. This episode is based on the book “Trapped by the Devil” by Kate Spencer.
Transcript
How many decisions have you made today? We make hundreds of them all the time and usually there aren’t any real consequences. They might make us late for a meeting, or cause us to miss our flight but we’ll be O.K. Even big decisions like should I get married, move to the city or go to college can have repercussions but whatever the outcome we will most likely be just fine.
I’m at the age where I’ve been second guessing lots of my life decisions and to be honest, if I was gonna do it all over again, I probably wouldn’t change much. Kate Spencer on the other hand made a decision that took her on a path of destruction for 15 years.
(Kate Spencer) I defrauded my employers of 1.3 million in 1996 and so subsequently I went to prison.
Yea, that kind of decision is one that will have dire consequences. Let me give you some of the back story from her book, Trapped by the Devil. Kate Spencer is a pen name and the author openly admits that this book is autobiographical. There are legal reasons why she chose to use a pen name but suffice it to say, she lives in the UK and she used to work at the post office. In her book she writes “… I started off with smaller amounts; £6,000.00 was the first amount I stole. Then, it quickly escalated to £10,000 and £15,000.00. After a few weeks, I was taking £45,000.00 on an average day…”
45,000 pounds is the equivalent of $56,827.83. A lot to steal daily…but this is not just a crime story it’s about addiction, abuse and finding the inspiration and the drive to get to the other side….but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We need to first find out how she met the devil.
(Kate Spencer) Because it was such a high profile crime I attracted the wrong people. I attracted people that had been criminals for many many years…theres’a woman that defrauded one point three million in six months she must know something so that is how I attracted my abuser.
This was a first offense for Kate so she was pretty naive when it came to prison life and being able to judge the character of someone like Darren — the guy she refers to as her abuser. You see her crime, the way she was stealing from the post office, drew the admiration of criminals like Darren. In the book she calls him the “Prince of Darkness”. When they met he was also in jail - just a different one. The two of them became pen-pals and got together when they were both released. That’s when the abuse began.
(Kate Spencer) The abuse was mental and it happened so quickly. Before you know it I’m faced with heroin and I was told you take this heroin or I will throw your child over the balcony and I will abuse your child — because I had a seven your old with me - so I said o.k. give me the heroin. let me take it and because it was smoked and it wasn’t injected I thought I will pretend to take it and then the next opportunity me and my son will run but as soon is took the heroin, instantly, at the blink of an eye I had instant hatred towards myself but at the same time I had instant forgiveness for my abuser. The mental abuse was not worth anything, you’re hopeless, and so that heroin, that feeling of oh, everything is ok it's a false sense of peace. It washed everything away including my parental instincts. That was the beginning of the journey of destruction. That’s how I entered that path.
This is an incredible story because if you have any experience with this kind of thing you know that not only is this a very dangerous path to go down it’s also one that is extremely hard to veer off of. Choosing a life of crime, going to prison and then being mentally and physically abused; Add in drug addiction with drugs like heroin and crack-cocaine and we’re talking about a deadly situation.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick author of the final book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which suggests that by observing our inner soul energy and merging that with the challenges of the physical world, we can achieve a peaceful purposeful and healthy life beyond the present challenges of political economic and societal issues, to return to our natural soul state of being, which is eternal and joyful. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Gayle Kimball PhD the Nautilus award winning author of 20 books including Essential Energy Tools and today we will discuss her new trilogy of books Mysteries of Healing Reality and Knowledge Beyond the Senses.As listeners of Healing From Within Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and insights into the metaphysical world of energy in an effort to understand Who we are?, Where we come? from and how to improve our time in the physical world as we transcend challenges fears and remember the capacity we have to create with our thoughts and actions a world that shines brightly with hope compassion and for the evolution of soul and human life.In today’s episode of Healing From Within we will explore with Dr. Gayle Kimball through her informative trilogy which offers personal reflections and insights from many of the leading figures in the modern scientific community who as are those throughout the world finally awakening to a deeper understanding of consciousness the brain-mind connection and the ultimate healing force of our free will.When Sheryl asks Gayle to think back to her earliest beginnings her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown them or others the lifestyle values and interests they might pursue as an adult she immediately reflects on her mother who discussed and took her to a scientific healing community which allowed her the freedom to use her imagination and thoughts to explore openly the world of spiritual energy.Gayle tells us how this trilogy came to be and how it may offer a clear understanding of the nature of human and spiritual connections.Dr. Kimball writes, “Many of our scientific beliefs are limited in that they can’t account for the evidence that consciousness exists beyond the brain. The dominant materialist paradigm denies the power of spirit, the miracles of mind and feelings over matter, unconscious access to information, and the possibility of other dimensions beyond what our physical senses tell us—including life after death. The dominant worldview is like the Flatland novel published in 1884 about a two-dimensional world. When the hero first discovers a three-dimensional place, he is only able to see a flat circle. When he sees more and reports back on his discovery, he’s persecuted. It’s also like the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes where the crowd applauds the lie that the naked emperor is wearing beautiful new robes until a small boy has the courage to speak the truth. The dominant worldview often ridicules those with the vision to see other dimensions beyond Flatland, while visionary scientists see the denial of anything but the physical as dogma that ignores extensive research and inhibits our access to subtle information. Courageous scientists, physicians, and psychologists are creating consciousness.This trilogy Mysteries of Healing Reality Knowledge Beyond the Senses explores the scientist’s life stories and their influences on their beliefs and personal courage, along with their understanding of our purpose as humans and how the universe really works.”Dr. Kimball shares the amazing insights of 65 metaphysical experts and says she could identify with what Larry Dossey pointed out; “It takes a rabble-rouser to actually develop the courage” to take on the establishment. He added that most peer-reviewed medical journals won’t touch a person on topics like the efficacy of prayer in healing. Like these visionary scientists,
This week Gina shares how the pursuit of attention, approval, and acknowledgment is blocking our path to joy and satisfaction of the life we’re truly meant to live.
Sure, it’s only natural to crave attention, approval, & acknowledgment. It makes us feel alive, desirable, and loveable.
This desire begins at a young age and continues over a lifetime.
It can lead us down a path seeking (even) more attention, approval, & acknowledgment… seeking to be happy, satisfied or fulfilled.
Some become high-achieving, goal-oriented. hard-working. AND driven… ONLY to find (even) more disappointment.
Let Gina explain how a simple perspective shift is ALL you need.
This simple shift will allow you to receive ALL the attention, approval, and acknowledgment you crave, desire, and deserve.
By the end, you’ll being saying “YES!” to feeling (even) more fulfilled. “YES!” to feeling (even) more peaceful and energized. “YES!” to (even) more certainty in your life.
You’ll think twice before crowd-sourcing your confidence (ever) again.

Beginning in June of 2022, the House January 6th Committee began to hold public hearings on their findings. The Committee has now held 7 publicly broadcast hearings, the stated purpose of which is to show that Donald Trump lied about his election loss, and that he incited an insurrection on January 6th at the U. S. Capitol Building. The result of these hearings has been a dud, for several reasons. The net effect of these hearings will certainly be to make Donald Trump look bad, but so far, the Commission has failed to make the case that Trump incited an insurrection on January 6, 2020. The effect of these hearings will be to show how the Trump’s opponents have dispensed with all notions of fairness and due process as they show their unbridled hatred of Trump and their unquenchable desire to find some crime to pin on him.
This partisan witch hunt is backfiring because the proceeding is a sham and because (1) almost half of the nation support Trump; and (2) most of the Independents and some Democrats recognize that the purposes, processes and productions of the January 6th Committee are blatant violations of American values of fairness and due process.
Why is happiness seen as art? Research supports the effects of mindfulness-based interactions that nurture well-being and happiness. The sense of happiness builds upon experiences, acceptance of positive perceptions, and awareness of emotional responses. So why is happiness considered an art? Some literature defines art as “ the expression of human creative skills and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing work to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. “ Join me in discussion with my special guest as we discuss drawing happiness and our everyday life. Get ready to use creativity and imagination to change your perspective of where you are now to nurture the happiness within you.

Our guest this week is Craig Weiler, who is with us for the third time. Craig is a parapsychology journalist, a frequent speaker, and the host of the popular blog “The Weiler Psi,” on the science of parapsychology, skepticism, and the psychics. Craig is a graduate of U.C. Berkeley, and he runs a small construction business. He began his spiritual path during the New Age movement, teaching and practicing psychic healing. He says that he doesn’t follow any particular teachings, but he explores a very westernized mixture of science and spirituality. And he is on the social media site Quora, where he answers questions on a wide range of topics and administers a parapsychology space with over 13,000 followers. Craig leads us through a fascinating discussion of a newly-published paper, the essence of which is that, just as magicians long have maintained, if you don’t believe in something, it literally is not going to happen for you. Craig can be reached through paranormaldailynews.com.
Communication is a two-way street and everyone’s communication styles are different. Different doesn’t mean bad, it just means different. With that in mind, it’s important to remind ourselves that just because we prefer one communication method, it doesn’t mean everyone in our life is going to want the same. So paying attention to our own communication style as well as understanding what others' preferences are, can go a long way to improving our relationships.
On this episode, Alex Martin is back on the show to talk about communicating in ways people can hear. I absolutely love that title because so often people communicate without ever noticing or caring if the person they are speaking to is actually hearing what they are saying. We also talk about conflict resolution and pathways to redemption. Alex and I both share examples from our own lives of how we have been able to speak up about our own needs to get more out of the relationships we have with other people.
If better communication interests you, and/or you're looking for improved ways to handle conflict resolution, tune into this episode! I think there is going to be something valuable for everyone who listens to improve communication in their own lives. Enjoy!

Marriage used to be about societal and financial stability. It also was about continuing the species. Now it’s about love and personal satisfaction. In the olden days, everyone knew their roles, whether they liked them or not. Today, marriage seems to be a free-for-all and, in some viewpoints, in free-fall. But, it doesn’t have to be as difficult and confusing as it seems to make it work. Dr. Steven Stosny, founder of CompassionPower and the author of several books including Empowered Love, reveals a simple formula for creating a successful marriage that lasts.

As I write the intro for this show I must pause and think about what it has meant to me to have a powerful presence and maybe for the first time ever look at my life from this perspective. Kind of cool!
I am just under 5’11’ and growing up was always taller than everyone (including boys) my own age. I learned at a young age to hold my head up high and as my uncle Barry would say, Strut my stuff!”
This is funny because I have always lacked confidence because of my size! Yet as I age and my wisdom grows, I realize that having personal power is a blessing and I believe is needed for all of us to stand tall and do the things we are meant to do during our lifetime.

As an Extra, the Crone is talking about some ideas about Affordable Witchcraft, something we believe has become even more important as we all are struggling with higher gas prices and general inflation/supply chain issues. Many Witches believe you need all the fancy, expensive stuff to be a "real" Witch, but we dispute this idea and offer some suggestions for a budget friendly approach.

In this episode, my friend Mariana Cadore shares her journey of self-discovery, from her battles with an eating disorder and fibromyalgia to healing herself and changing the lives of thousands of people around the world in the process.
Check out our conversation here!
https://youtu.be/kwVGUjmTBQM
About Mariana Cadore:
Mariana Cadore was involved in an unhealthy relationship. But it wasn’t with a person. It was with food and her beliefs. The Brazilian native bounced through life like a worn ping-pong ball. A beautiful model at 15, a person with an eating disorder, a talented rower, a fibromyalgia sufferer. She had enough. Time to untangle the web… and untangle she did! Mariana reached deep inside to find out why things could be so good, and yet so bad. The tale of two Marianas needed to stop. But how? After dissecting every aspect of her life, including her toxic relationship with food, she realized she had work to do. To become the healthy and happy person she could love and feel good about, she had to rid negative thoughts, unrealistic fears and bad habits, most of which she didn’t know she had.
Mariana is now sharing her story, her discoveries about herself, and the changes she made. Food is something Mariana looked at as both a source of joy and self-harm. Today, she loves cooking for friends and family. Mariana’s special talent lies in helping people make that first step of admitting they want to do better. They might not know how, but Mariana’s kind and comforting words will make the journey much more pleasant. It’s just the kind of person Mariana is. Once lost, now found, Mariana’s greatest achievement is guiding others to the other side of fear and sadness and onto a new path of joy.

I know you have all heard me say that marketing and sales are married but are two very different things that are equally important to a business.
I am great at all things sales, not so much at marketing or branding! Even though they are all key ingredients for business and career success, building the right brand is important to attracting the right clients. I have hired people to help me build my brand Changing the Sales Game with my tag line of, “getting you off the bench and in the game!” Pretty cool…right?
The fact is businesses need more than marketing, we need storytelling of our brand.

Summary: Guys, if you want to prepare an elegant meal all by yourself then this is how you do it. This episode is based on the book The Gentleman’s Guide to Cooking by Randy Motilall.
Something that never happened during my dating life was preparing a candlelit dinner at my place. “Let me do the cooking” was just not one of my lines. Romantic dinners were great as long as someone else was preparing the food. It actually started to become a problem because sometimes you need to be able to prepare a nice meal and there is real skill involved in creating an elegant meal experience. Think about it. What do you do when it’s your turn to host an important family gathering or holiday dinner. We’re not talking about poker night, those guys don’t care. We’re talking, this is gonna get me a promotion, kind of cooking. Catering works for sure but it’s not the same. It sends a different message when you take the time and do it yourself.
Randy Motilall: I’m going to throw a lot of my friends under the bus. I love my guy friends, can’t cook but they have their significant others and their wives and I’m like, “Hey man you need to cook for your wife” and they’re like ok well tell me what to do and I’m always walking them through it. Now I have the guide and they’re using it and their wives are like thank you so much.
That’s Randy Motilall and he’s talking about The Gentleman’s Guide to Cooking.
Randy Motilall: It’s to help you build that confidence in your skills so you don’t have to go out to a restaurant to have a good meal every time. You can have an elegant meal at home and that’s what I wanted to try to bring with this book and to show people yes you can do it.
That’s right, if you don’t have the time that’s one thing but if you don’t have the skill that’s another. Same thing goes for small get-togethers. I’m not a big drinker but for years I would stick with a simple beer or glass of wine at home but when I went out I’d order a nice handcrafted cocktail. Why not make them at home? Well, I wasn’t good at it. Same thing with appetizers and fancy desserts. They were too hard for me to figure out, as crazy as that sounds. I didn’t have the skill.
With most dishes I just had no idea what ingredients to use to get the flavor I liked and when I’d find a recipe that seemed to hit the mark the list of ingredients was so long or so unfamiliar to me that I just gave up. I mean I hadn’t even heard of some of the things on the list so of course none of them were in my kitchen. In his book Randy said something interesting that really hit home for me, he said “…surrounding yourself with the right ingredients is like surrounding yourself with the right people. A gentleman always makes the right choice.”
Randy Motilall: I think that also having that confidence in the guide to work with it helps you with your shopping as well. You know what all to pick up or when your going to find certain ingredients you may stop and look at something else as well that you may not have looked at before and you’re going to be willing to try that as well well because it’s in the same flavor profile and your like ok maybe I can substitute this for this instead and it will most likely work.
He mentioned the word Flavor Profile and we’re going to circle back to that but first here’s a pop quiz - do you know the difference between a red wine glass and white wine glass or a water glass? Not everybody does. A properly laid out table is the first thing your guests are going to take notice of and it’s a basic skill that we should all know. Yes, there are a lot of different variables and they can seem overwhelming which is why he put a numbered diagramin his book.
Randy Motilall: A nice set table, or nice table setting excuse me. You're gonna see that and you’re like oh my gosh I’m in for a great meal because you’re already expecting something great that has no food on it already, you add the food to it and it’s gonna enhance your experience....
This book is the accumulation of years of study of my life and experiences, teaching, learning, study and learning. The BIBLE says study to show thyself approves to GOD (ELOHIYM).
This book began because of what men have been (taught) preaching that JESUS died on a friday and rose from the grave early Sunday morning. According to Matthew 12:40 states For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. So, when preachers preach JESUS died on friday and rose early Sunday morning. I realize this to be INHERENTLY WRONG and grievously mistaken as TRUTH, and according to what is written in the word of YAH. It is my hope to those that will read this book, that it will open their eyes to the truth of YAH. What is truth? John 17:17 b says THY WORD IS TRUTH. PERIOD. We face so many challenges in interpreting THE WORD OF YAH, but it meaning is truth. THE RAUCH HA’QODESH has given it the correct meaning or will. Just ask. We need to just listen up to THE HOLY SPIRIT. Let THE HOLY SPIRIT walk you in all of HIS WAYS. Be led by the truth and not by men’s false or false preachers telling you a lie or a deception, but believe YAH. Merchants will sell us as lie as long as they get their green dollars. The easier bunny, good friday, santa claus, and christmas tree and all these lies. These white masters refused to admit the Hebrew slaves were coming to america that this was the real holocaust. Our forefathers were treated worst than animals. Stinking flesh chain up one to another not being able to freely move, not being able to bath, brush their teeth, dying on the slave ships and being thrown over board and feed to the sharks, not being able to wipe our booty from the dung and piss coming out of our bodies, women menstruating on themselves, diseases, having babies on those slave ships, chained to each other on this long and hot journey, force to eat, sometime using brute force to make us eat, raping our women and sometime the men. And once we came into the america we were sold, children separated from fathers and mothers, we were placed in holes, and hung up like an animal and beaten in an inch of our lives for not taking the slave master name he gave us. We were not allow to read and learn the language for it was against the law and if we were caught learning to read the penalty was severed. WE ARE THE TRUE NATION OF ISRAEL. As YAH told Avram your seeds shall be in strange lands for 400 years and
I will Exodus them out of that strange land and I will punished that nation. The 400 years has ended and the exodus is near.
The other sheep which are not of this fold will also be Exodus also. And Let
The People Of YAH say Amein!
At the end of this life we will all be judged by YAHUSHA. John 5:22 For THE FATHER judgeth no man, but hath committed ALL judgment unto the son.

Summary: Life on this wonderful but badly abused planet is in chaos. What is really happening and what can we do about it. This episode is based on the book The Choice by Peter Childs who recognizes the peril of this moment in our history and shows what an extraordinary opportunity it affords us.
With climate change and many other crises threatening our society and creating chaos in the world we live in, it is important to have a look at what is really happening, why, and what we can do about it.
Charles Dickens' said it in A Tale of Two Cities, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. It’s a line that could not be more perfect for our discussion today. We live in uniquely threatening times. We also live in times that are filled with great promise. Our mind is a powerful tool. One we have used to achieve great things throughout history. It’s also one that can be manipulated and used to affect change in negative ways. What I mean is, we have the ability to see any problem as an opportunity. We just have to be willing to recognize it.
Are you with me so far? It’s important that you stay engaged because today is going to be a bumpy ride. Get ready because it’s going to be a lot of fun but to get the most out of this episode you need to put your thinking caps on. Keep all body parts safely inside the vehicle with your seat belts securely fastened. Today we are going to engage our prefrontal cortex. The part of our brain that manages complex problem solving.
Are you ready? One of the toughest things to change is a habit and we have developed lots of them. According to our guest today, they have driven us to a rather perilous moment in history. However, great peril affords great opportunity so long as we see it that way. As I bring in today’s guest, Mr. Peter Childs, allow me to do it with another quote. This one is from Joni Mitchell — “……We are stardust, we are golden And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden..”
Peter Childs: If we’re gonna go back to the garden of Eden, that was way back, we’ve got a ways to go. We’re not gonna flip the switch and get back to that so the question is how do we most efficiently move in that direction now and a very important part of that is finding a way emotionally to deal with this onslaught of bad stuff and it is an onslaught in every way. Throwing a stone in any direction and climate change is just one thing and it’s absolutely biblical and the biblical tells the whole story and it predicts it. It said we did it once before with the flood. It’s fascinating that all over the world there are legends of the flood and they all boil down to what we’re doing now. They say look, you’ve developed so much power, that you weren’t using for good and that has consequences and it doesn’t take an Einstein to see that if you keep doing bad things with increasing power sooner or later something hits the fan in a very big way. That’s what’s happening now.
We’re not going to get into a debate about whether or not climate change is real and whether or not we are causing it. It’s real. Things are changing. The question being asked today is, what is really happening and what are we gonna do about it?
Peter Childs: What we’re really headed for is beyond wonderful but we’ve got this problem we’ve got to work out first. It’s up to us. What we need to do now is true our compass toward good and right and there's a huge and important question that I can’t give you a solid answer for and it’s at the root of everything, how do you tell the truth? What is the reality? Because we create these false realities that are just as real to us as the real one is to the people that see that now how do you work that one out.
Peter Childs is author of a book called The Choice and you can probably tell from what you’ve heard so far, he is passionate, non-political and driven to find solutions which he has done. It’s not an easy one but they never are are they?
'Brothers' is about life in Roman Britain. About betrayal and treachery, about stolen gold and hidden treasure and about forbidden love. The brothers in this story are native Britons and Roman soldiers and settlers. Some Britons are farmers and traders; some are rebel warriors who hate the Roman invaders. In the Roman family a boy, Gaius Marcius, is given British slave, Verluccus, for a playmate. Verluccus is branded with a triskele but he runs away. When a man is captured fighting among rebels and returned to Gaius filled with hatred. Gaius eventually subdues him hand he accepts his lot is slavery. Serving in the household Verluccus meets and falls in love with Gaia, the sister of Gaius and she does so with him. But she is soon married, and to the brother of a man Verluccus is known to have killed. Their love must be secret. They are parted when he goes to Rome with Gaius and she must remain in Britain with her husband, a Roman military tribune.
About M.E. Taylor: M.E. Taylor is a native of Gloucestershire and so grew up in a county in England in which the remains of many Roman buildings, military and domestic, may be seen today. This generated a lifetime of fascination with our Roman ancestors and their lifestyles. She is a member of several historical and archaeological societies and a volunteer at a local Roman museum. Her favourite pastime is visiting Roman sites in Britain and Europe in the company of like-minded friends. Her interest extends to an interest in Roman cookery and in a garden containing only plants from the Roman Empire (subsequently many native plants which sensible gardeners call ‘weeds’). You can find out more about M.E. Taylor at her website https://www.metaylor-brothers.com/ and you can get your copy of Brothers on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

Do you value yourself sufficiently? I think most people would say yes. But if you start to examine your life, do your actions align with someone who values themselves sufficiently? It’s an interesting experiment to look at in your own life.
In this episode, Dr Erhard Vogel and I continue our monthly conversation. We cover all kinds of topics this week from how to have an experience so you can use the knowledge you’ve gained to live and act accordingly, how not living in the moment causes you not to relate to what you are experiencing and the importance of not classifying our feelings but being able to sit with them and let them flow through you. Denying our feelings ends up chaining us to the feelings we are trying to deny and Erhard shares his insight on the impact this has on us.
We also talk about Erhard’s Pearls of Wisdom from 6/14/22 “They run away from the Light and mistake the ensuing Shadow as their Identity”. There is so much packed into this episode and so much to consider! What is next for you? What action will you take as a result of listening to this episode? Last month we posed a challenge to you, the listener, asking what is next for you after listening to this episode. And we are asking you the same this month! One action you could take right now is to reach out to Erhard and I and let us know how you plan to implement what you heard in this episode. Please reach out and share your thoughts! Have you been able to experience anything different as a result of this conversation? Please let us know! We welcome any questions or comments you have or any other topics you would like us to cover. You can reach Erhard at eternalconsciousness@me.com and you can reach Sloane at sloanefreemont@pm.me We look forward to hearing your comments, questions and suggestions!

If you've listened to the show, you've heard me say that our thoughts matter. What we think sets the basis for how we live out our life. Whether your thoughts are good or bad, your life is going to move in the direction those thoughts take you. After you start to change your thoughts,it doesn't stop there. So what comes next? I'm so glad you asked because this episode is all about the key to creating what you speak!
Dr. Erhard Vogel joins me in this episode for our monthly conversation and we really break down what it means to "Create What You Speak". I've never done a deep dive into what that means...until this episode! Erhard and I share some key steps you can take today to really start experiencing yourself and being engaged in your life. We also answer a listener's question about the unempowering strategy of dissociating during pain and Erhard provides insight on how to look at a situation like that differently.

He saw the underlying need in everyone to fulfill their potential.In India Erhard met two of the world’s most renowned luminous Masters, who welcomed him into their midst and invited him to teach among the Himalayan sages—a rare distinction for a westerner. He lived for an extended period of time in a Himalayan cave in a remote sacred area. Living in utter joy and luminosity, Erhard remembered how so many people throughout the world suffer.

Scotland is on the verge of complete destruction! Warwick is a young man who enjoys a quiet life living with his parents in a small stone house in Scotland.

Forced into an arduous quest to find answers traveling across the wildest and most challenging terrains in the whole of Scotland, his only aid is a cloaked mystical man.

Jen’s headaches were becoming unbearable. They hit out of the blue and lasted for hours. Then she met a psychiatrist who hypnotized her, and found that a variety of people from various periods in time were begging to talk to her, seeking favors of her she was sure she couldn’t possibly fulfill. So the headaches continued until the psychiatrist taught her how to hypnotize herself, allowing a door of communication to open to timeless needs.

Summary: Inflation can’t be helped but where does it stop? Let's look at government programs between 1900 and the present. This episode is based on the book The History of the Progressive Movement in the United States and How Liberalism Has Created a Mediocre Society by Ralph E. Saucier Sr.
Webster defines the word Mediocre as being of moderate or low quality, value, ability or performance. Mediocre is just ordinary or so-so and some things that may be fine but is society one of them? We have always strived to be better than everyone else here in America. We shoot for the moon and set examples for others. Is that what we are still doing? I like to think so but not everyone agrees. What is progressive and is it a bad thing? Ralph E Saucier has just written a book that takes a look at these questions as well as societal changes that have taken place over the past one hundred and twenty years and the presidents responsible for them.
Ralph E. Saucier Sr. - I follow politics and I’ve followed different presidents since Eisenhower and as the years went by I’ve seen the cities of the United States getting more but although they may have earned more it was going back to the government and I don’t think people totally realize that and the message of the book was basically was to bring out all the different programs that have come out in the past 100/120 years to show where their money is going and do they want to continue doing that.
The book has a very long title and depending on what side of the aisle you’re on, you may choose to love it or dismiss it outright based on the title alone but it’s early in this edition of Newsgram so let’s see this through. The title is The History of the Progressive Movement in the United States and How Liberalism Has Created a Mediocre Society and the author has done a great deal of research to develop his findings.
Ralph E. Saucier Sr. - It took me about three years and in the bibliography of the book you can see I researched and read a lot of books and studied a lot from it. I didn't just go from myself. That's why the book was written and emphasized and it shows my comments and it shows where the research is that I’ve done in the book.
He examines various changes in the past century and which administration was responsible for them. On the cover he highlights three presidents. Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Donald Trump and I think you’ll find it interesting to learn why he chose these three men.
Ralph E. Saucier Sr. - Ralph talks about why these presidents were highlighted on the cover of the book.
Just to be clear, these aren’t the only three presidents he talks about in the book. He takes it all the way back to 1900.
Ralph E. Saucier Sr. - It basically covers 120 years. If you look at the book and go through each one of the presidents I did cover you’ll find out which president carried this country more into the progressive movement and to programs, different programs and each one of the presidents called their programs something different.
He goes through each administration and looks at the programs that defined them. For example, he says Roosevelt loved the outdoors so he was the first president to involve the federal government in protecting and preserving the environment. Some people like to credit president Obama for that and while he did quite a bit, it started much earlier. He also talks about Woodrow Wilson…
Ralph E. Saucier Sr. - Before Wilson there wasn’t income tax and it started to realize that you could tax the people and it continued through the years to get worse and worse. Woodrow Wilson with all his programs, and there were numerous and numerous programs, if you go through the book in chapter four, that he brought in as many programs as he could be he found out at the end of his presidency is that you know when he needed money to sponsor these programs because a tariff was forty percent at the time and he dropped it to twenty...

This week we are going to journey into the underworld to understand what it is, what it can offer you and the importance of building a relationship with it. Dr. Joanna LaPrade joins me this week to discuss her new book “Forged In Darkness - The Many Paths to Personal Transformation”. This book is about learning how your experiences of hardship—moments of darkness, resonate with different mythic underworld journeys. Through opening a world of myth, psychology, storytelling, dreams, and symbolism it invites you to treat the inevitable darkness of life as a forge of transformation and growth.
In this episode, we discuss how fixing, control, and willpower dominate our relationship with hardship and the inner world and why that attitude is limiting if used all the time. There are many ways to be with and learn from suffering and we talk about how this book can help you find yours. We also discuss accepting the challenges of life and knowing ourselves at a deep level is difficult but how it also brings meaning, depth, capacity, and opportunities for profound transformation. I also share my own experience of what I learned from reading “Forged in Darkness” after the recent loss of my father and insights I gained from the book.
Forged in Darkness encourages readers to work with archetypes in mythology to stop rejecting the darkness within and instead learn to embrace it. When we search within, we find the underworld – lost connections, failed enterprises, haunting memories, insecurities, and unfamiliar parts of ourselves.
Today, the underworld is poorly understood, even disparaged. We have abandoned the depths to prioritize an unblemished, positive life. Viewed as pathological and approached with solution-focused techniques we banish both the terror and the richness of the inner world.
You can watch this interview here:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/5lv2Ktc6etNx/
Drawing on the work of C.G. Jung and Joseph Campbell, LaPrade unites self-discovery with mythology, inviting you to notice how your life may resonate with different underworld journeys. There are many ways to imagine our encounters with suffering and our deep selves as necessary to growth and transformation. Let this book help you find yours.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick author of her newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our modern day challenges are not economic political societal but a disconnect from our inner true being spiritual soul wisdom. Sheryl is delighted to welcome musician Bob Hillary, author of Simplify who shares his decision to reject our modern way of living after it made him seriously ill and to return to nature and a simpler lifestyle.As listeners of” Healing From Within” are well aware, Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and insights into the metaphysical world of energy science, spirituality and modern day life as we discuss the duality and nature of both spiritual and physical life challenges. In order to create or manifest our best version of yourself and live a prosperous, healthy and happy life we must merge our spiritual awareness with physical ego -based thinking and create opportunities for self-investigation and self-mastery of our emotions which is only possible by an introspective look at self.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Bob Hillary shares a manual for switching off your digital lifestyle, detaching from all your stuff and finding a peaceful, stable and happy way of being. He provides 21 practices to help you simply life so stress is reduced and healing can begin.-When Bob is asked to think back to their childhood and remember a person place event that may have shown them or others the lifestyle and interests they might embrace as an adult for Sheryl feels the life plan or destiny of each soul is there at the beginning only waiting to be discovered and lived out by the person and Bob tells us that as a child his absolute idol was the famous explorer Sir Edmund Hillary a relative of his and the first man to climb the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. His story always inspired Bob to aim high, live wild and not settle for normal in my life. Bob was brought up on a rural organic farm. His reality was pretty much roaming endlessly in nature, making dens and mud pies. So you could say that Bob grew up with this simple thing—it’s in his roots. And Bob tells us he is very grateful to have grown up that way. Bob tells us of his grandmother Annabelle who he adored who taught him all about growing our own food. She was something of an expert. Her garden was immense: chock full of edible vegetable delights. My parents also grew our own food on the farm which we children would pick fresh from the garden for dinner. These early experiences went in deep and gave me a good grounding in life. Twenty years on, living in a technology-dominated culture, Bob found himself increasingly revisiting these experiences and enjoying the sanity, peace and clarity of living simply.Bob tells us why he decided to share his story with the public in his book Simplify. And the most important self- aware factor that came out of this book.Bob tells us that this book is for anybody who is disillusioned and looking for answers in a world that seems to offer none. Where always on mass smartphone addiction and social isolation seem to be the order of the day. We are all feeling the strain. Why does the strain even need to be there? Could there be another way to live? A simpler way? The ever- faster pace of life shows no sign of stopping. The signs of an unhappy groaning planet struggling to support our endless need for more, more, more are becoming increasingly obvious. We are currently losing 150 species from our animal and plant kingdom EVERYDAY not to mention huge problems like the melting ice caps, plastic-filled oceans and over-population. The great paradox of these times is that many of us are increasingly seeing and feeling that this way of living really isn’t serving us or the planet. We may be unsure of how to go forward. We would like to live in slower simpler truer more balanced ...
This week, Gina shares the 5 essential things to re-write (and play by) your own rules.
Our world asks us to accept roles and play by rules. Roles and rules that keep things safe & simple. AND us playing small.
They don’t take into account who we are as individuals. Rather they lump everyone into categories. Women of a certain age… Wives should… Mothers should… You know they exist. You’ve probably been faced with them.
These roles and rules are outdated. They cause us to feel uneasy, sad, and alone. They need to be re-written.
Gina will explain why NOW is time to ditch the one-size-fits-all rule book.
Learn how to easily and quickly create your custom guide to life.
Listen as she shares her practical & easy-to-implement approach. You’ll be nodding your head, “Yes.” AND walking away with a unique way to approach every aspect of your life, including relationships.
Let your relationships unfold in a deeper, richer, & more meaningful way. Discover a greater appreciation for yourself and others.
This proven 5 step formula IS the simplest and fastest way to finding your freedom. It’s time to play by your own rules.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Mark Suster
“Persistence, persistence, persistence. I’m surprised how few entrepreneurs follow up.”

I don’t think I have ever shared this on my podcast.
I have a 7 Step sales process I use which is the premise of my #1 Best Selling book ESP: Easy Sales Process – 7 Steps to Sales Success.
The last step in my process is called CPR follow-up.
This means consistent, persistent, respectful follow-up. You get the idea. All relationships need CPR to keep breathing life into that relationship.
Respectfully following up is such a key piece of generating new business, closing more sales, building the know, like, trust factor, and bottom line the easiest way to make more money…all done respectfully!
Yet one of the mistakes I see with my clients and with other sales folks make is the lack of follow-up. And here is the funny thing, every salesperson, or business owner I speak with, knows how important follow-up is. Yet, when I ask what their follow-up process is, I usually hear things like I don’t have a specific follow-up process, or I use my outlook calendar.

I love this quote because I feel like it embodies the essence of this podcast. Being a change agent isn’t always easy or glamorous, but it matters and provides new ideas and outcomes for our successful future.
Change is inevitable (COVID taught us that) and in business a necessity to continue to grow and build a thriving future. For larger businesses, I feel like change can be a bit daunting and hard to change the direction of the organization's culture.

Welcome back with my guest reader Zechariah who will read a few segments of the book "Who Moved My Cheese" to help us focus on points in the story to highlight mindful discussions. During this episode, we discover the importance of the awareness part of mindfulness. In the awareness phase, we may face our physical responses to fear. Our fears may transform into a nest of a pseudo-comfort zone. Comfort feels good and helps us meet our basic needs. However, when our environment or situation becomes a web of despair, the healthy fear reaction is our body's communication that it is time to change.
Join Zechariah and me as we uncover how to move forward toward our goals in a realistic, attainable strategy. I invite you to join me in a mindful look at the "awareness" part of Transition Awareness Breathing. In this episode, I would like to explore how we can unexpectedly move into stagnation rather than adaptation. I will refer to a great book by Dr. Stephen Johnson called "Who Moved My Cheese." This podcast is a summary of the last two episodes.
Are the Democrats really hurting America on purpose? Do they realize that they are insulting 10s of millions of Americans when they use language like U.S. Congresswoman Susan Wild did when she compared Christians to the Taliban? Why is our President taking oil out of our American Strategic Reserves and shipping it to other countries including China? Does Biden not know that the Chinese Communist Party wants to take over Taiwan? Remember the phrase don't listen to what they say but watch what they do? Well, Americans are seeing these things and asking why Democrats are doing things to hurt America, and Doc Holliday in this week's show will shine the light on such misdeeds with clips from CNN and Fox News.

Scientists have exposed the hoax that fossil fuels are destroying the planet.

This book is a searingly honest personal story of suicide. As Rita Wright navigates her way through the loss of her daughter, Anna Wright, she demonstrates how anxiety, panic, and depression do not have to end in death. Suicide prevention, and survival after losing a loved one through suicide are the core elements of this book.
Learning how to express dark and suicidal thoughts before we reach crisis point from which there is no coming back is the central message. Understanding how creativity leads to a clearer understanding and has the potential to save lives is paramount. This is a personal and professional insight into why some people can manage their emotions, whereas others, with an inbuilt fragility, melancholia, and what she refers to as a genetic ‘naked nerve’, seek relief in death.
Under the Fig Tree is a dramatic true-life, twenty-first century story of one girl whose feelings and troubles are replicated worldwide, demonstrating how chronic trauma or being constantly drip-fed negativity and frustration have dire consequences. Today, suicides, like Covid 19, are at pandemic levels. People who have never suffered from mental health issues are falling foul to depression and anxiety in a world that has changed irrevocably. Lack of global funding makes charities and foundations imperative if we are to relieve our agony. You can learn more at www.ritaandannamwright.com and https://www.annawrightart.com/. You can get your copy of Under the Fig Tree, Time to Go, One Last Coffee on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

As an Extra, the Crone is discussing the idea of becoming aware of conflicting energies. As people, there are times when our insides don't match what is going on around us outside. In other words, our personal energies may be in conflict with the seasonal energies.
Learning to take the time to consider where we may be out of whack and ways we can better manage these discrepancies can only benefit our bodies, minds, and spirits.
Welcome my guest reader Zechariah who will read a few segments of the book "Who Moved My Cheese. "to help us focus on points in the story to highlight mindful discussions. During this episode, we will examine barriers that appear during change. It is easy to say, "stay positive." However, sometimes we get tainted with negativity which nourishes stagnation. Therefore, it is important to know how we respond to negativity. Join Zechariah and me as we uncover how to move forward toward our goals in a realistic, attainable strategy. I invite you to join me in a mindful look at the"transition" part of Transition Awareness Breathing. In this episode, I would like to explore how we can unexpectedly move into stagnation rather than adaptation. I will refer to a great book by Dr. Stephen Johnson called "Who Moved My Cheese." This podcast is the second podcast in a two-part episode.

If you’ve listened to my show, you know I love talking to entrepreneurs about creation and bringing ideas to life. This week I’m excited to have Tanya Griffin on the show.

Tanya and I talk about being an entrepreneur and the ups and down that come with it, why and how she created her company and what drives her to help people open up their communication channels to have better sex.
Built by women for everyone, oOYes leans into a retro sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll vibe. They are a sex positive, sex forward company and believe great sex starts with open communication, showing up and staying present. oOYes creates cannagasmic formulations that enhance pleasure and lead to ecstatic sex.

In 1995, after the birth of the first of her four children, she founded Kangaroo Kids which, 28 years later, continues to help families with their parenting and breastfeeding needs. Her journey into building vertically integrated cannabis companies culminated in an exit to an MSO which enables her to continue to do what she knows and loves.

I believe we all love a good story. In fact, we watch movies and TV shows because we love the storytelling that happens within them and the journey they take us on. But somehow in business, I think, we get a disconnect between storytelling, our brand, and marketing.
Like me, I am sure many businesses spend tons of money on marketing, believing that it will make a difference. Sometimes I feel like we are missing the greatest marketing advantage each of us has…and that is telling our story…our unique story that could resonate with more potential customers and clients.
The fact is businesses need more than marketing, we need storytelling of our brand.

Every day I wake up and feel my body clock either feeling rested and firing on all cylinders or sometimes I may feel a bit sluggish.
I’ve had friends and family who had to travel for business, pre-pandemic and the jet lag and other side effects were sometimes detrimental to their health.
I am over 5’10” tall so airplane travel has never appealed to m, so I as my career grew I made sure that extensive travel was not part of the demands expected from me.
Perhaps post-pandemic this is not as big an issue as it once was.
So, is it possible to resent the jet lag or the feelings of jet lag?
Today my guest and I are going to discuss how to reset our body clock using acupressure and kinesiology and how his company made this into a mobile app for global travelers.

The Uplift protocol deploys neuroscience and ancient wisdom (Acupressure) on a mobile app platform that guides users to reset one of their body clocks in just a few minutes, effectively neutralizing Jet Lag.

One of my least favorite pieces of “advice” is that marriage takes a lot of hard work. No wonder marriage rates are at an all time low. Now this doesn’t mean people aren’t coupling up. And those relationships can be challenging if you don’t know what you’re doing. To be honest, that’s most of us. You will keep making the same mistakes, suffering heartache and wondering if happy, lasting relationships are even possible. The answer is a resounding “yes” according to Intimacy Expert and author Allana Pratt.
If you’re looking to improve your marriage, Lesli can help. Share the show with your besties on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

In July of 2022, America is experiencing serious economic problems. Inflation is at a 40-year high, interest rates are similarly much higher. The price of gas has almost doubled—to $5.00 a gallon during the Biden Administration. Prices of almost all goods are increasing. And the stock market has been dropping sharply for several months. We are facing another recession. One of the major causes of this economic problem is the extreme climate-change policies enacted by the Biden Administration. Many of Biden’s Executive Orders and policies were intended to hurt and eventually end the fossil fuel industry.
We discuss how these economic problems have all been predicted by reputable scientists and economists, and how this is not only unnecessary, but it is the result of fanatical commitment to end fossil fuels because of a mistaken belief that continued use of fossil fuels with cause catastrophic damage to the earth. This fanatical and erroneous political movement needs to be exposed and ended.
Celebrate America and our freedom this July 4th with Doc Holliday's Rock Splitting Politics! The United States Supreme Court has given Americans more reasons to celebrate freedom and life! Just last week the Supreme Court cut the abuse of unelected bureaucrats making decisions that Congress should be making. Doc Holliday uses a clip from Larry Kudlow's show on Fox Business to better inform you about what this decision means for America. You will definitely want to hear what former Governor and energy secretary, Rick Perry, has to say about it. Even though we are caught in a trap between now and the November elections, it is good to be able to share some good news! Doc also plays Larry Kudlow's salute to our Declaration of Independence! Let's celebrate America's freedom together right here, and right now by clicking on our July 4th show!

Rosanne Groover Norris would rather NOT have been one of the stars of Sandra Champlain’s and Sonia Rinaldi’s wonderful new movie, Rinaldi! But her son, Lee, is now in spirit, and her spotting him in Sandra’s photos transmitted from the station in the afterlife was of course an exciting moment for Rosanne! She is the mother of five children, with one now in spirit, and also a grandmother of six, and she considers them all to be her best accomplishment in life. In January of 2018, Rosanne’s middle child, a thirty-year-old son named Lee, succumbed to an accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in his home along with his dog, Buddy. This devastating event left Rosanne in despair, and she was left to figure out her new reality for herself. She read books and listened to podcasts, and she was ultimately led to Helping Parents Heal, where she now is an affiliate leader and a caring listener.
Rosanne is also the author of beLEEve, A Journey of Loss, Healing, and Hope, which was ranked number one in several categories, in both the U.S. as well as internationally. She is a contributing author to the anthology, Ordinary Oneness, The Simplicity of Everyday Love, Grace, and Hope. In addition, she is contributing a chapter to Camille Dan’s upcoming anthology, which has just been published. The movie Rinandi can be found on Sandra Champlain’s website, WeDontDie.com.
Welcome to ‘Healing From Within.’ I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher/medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages that show us the challenges we are now facing are not economical political or societal just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Codi Shewan, author of Everyday Legacy who needs to know that we need to live now as each moment is an opportunity to create love and enjoy life.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and a growing awareness that life is a duality both physical and spiritual for we are indeed spiritual beings having a physical life. In learning that when all energy is engaged and utilized we put aside the false reality of duality and come into a realization of the Oneness of all life. We realize our greatest potential to thrive and enjoy life in all dimensions of true awareness. Merging our spiritual gifts with the physical life experience gives us the ability to thrive, manifest and create and live a happy healthy prosperous joyful life experience as well as advance our soul energetic refinement towards greater compassion and love.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within '' Codi Shewan, now a motivational speaker, formerly had a 20 year career as a funeral director and his experiences facing death every day taught him a lot of lessons about living. Through powerful stories Shewan’s message is simple: In each moment we have the ability to change ourselves and those around us in profound ways!
When Sheryl asks Codi to think back to his childhood and remember a person, place event or interest that may have shown him or others around him the lifestyle or adult life he would choose to live he tells us “Besides my mother, my grandmother has been the most important person in my life. She was my best friend. I often thought of myself as a weird kid and didn’t seem to fit in anywhere, but I always fit in with her. Many children like spending time with their grandparents but I loved it. We would routinely go to play minigolf or go swimming at a local beach. We were inseparable. She was so easygoing and lovely. I know now that she was trying to fill the gap that her son left in my life, which only expanded my love for her.
Pat my was short for Patricia and she had been born into an affluent family. Her family owned a private school in England. It didn’t hurt that she was British and the accent helped too. During our visits we bonded over tea toast and bacon. But her affluent life ended when she was eight years old and the school was overtaken by the Second World War. Her father died after mysteriously falling through one of the school’s second story windows. The family immigrated to Canada, but it was jarring to go from wealth to poverty so quickly. My grandmother had such a warm open heart and loved deeply and lived simply. Going from wealth to poverty gave her a perspective on what was important. It was immensely important to her to have character and integrity, a quiet conviction and a servant’s heart. And, above all else, to love deeply. At the time of Grandma Pat’s death I felt so angry that I only had twenty seven years with her. She died so young. There was so much life in her, but dementia had other plans.
As a developing intuitive healer and medium years ago, Sheryl became a hospice volunteer for 8 years trying to help people soon to transition to life beyond here and their families to know there is no death—just a transition to higher dimensions of energetic soul life. As a funeral director were you aware that Consciousness survives physical death? Codi tells us about volunteering in palliative care or end of life care and his fascination with the funeral profession. Palliative care is where people go to die. When people enter palliative care,

Junio Carols lives in Yorkshire one of the most scenic counties in the UK. She’s married has two daughters, now five grandchildren some of whom live on the east coast of the US in the Boston area. In addition to what I’ve just said, she has four stepchildren one of whom Tom has done illustrations for the bestselling international author Philip Pullman, an author which both myself and Junio follow intently. Not to mention the cats of course.
The story is set in the Yorkshire Dales a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, an area well known to Junio. Very often most writers place their book settings in familiar surroundings, as is the case here.

Dingle Dell is the tiny hamlet snuggled neatly among the dale’s hills. From the outset the hamlet reflects as you would expect, a scene of tranquillity, serenity and peacefulness, but the lives of the residents who reside there is far from halcyon to say the least. It would be easy for me to give the plot away, but that’s not the exercise of this podcast. The concept is to give you a tantalizing taste of what lurks within the pages, sufficient for you to click the Amazon link below and read the book which is available in both paperback and eBook formats.
For me there is no main protagonist or antagonist characters to speak of, more an eclectic bunch of characters who have their own unique peculiar traits, oddities and definitely dark secrets. Secrets is the operative word here for when you read the book you’ll unearth, deception, blackmail, unrequited affairs, poisonings, discreet sexual fetishes, embezzlement, dysfunctional relationships and other sinister happenings that take place behind closed doors. So, this quiet sleepy little hamlet set in rural idyllic Yorkshire isn’t what it seems.
This book I found an easy read with lots of twists which you would expect in a good book. Definitely a page turner for me. A book to read on a warm summer’s afternoon with strawberries and cream, and a glass of wine to hand.
The book is available on Amazon, and publishers www.authorhouse.com bookstore search Junio Carols-Bittersweet Neighbourhood.
Thank you Junio for giving me the opportunity to review your book and to get to learn a little bit about you as a writer.
https://www.amazon.com/Bittersweet-Neighbourhood-Junio-Carols-ebook/dp/B0986VWSHM/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?crid=14B035HRBFD9T&keywords=bittersweet+neighbourhood+junior+carol&qid=1656521012&s=books&sprefix=bittersweet+neighbourhood+junio+carol%2Cstripbooks%2C69&sr=1-1-fkmr0
We live in a world begging us to conform. It’s that pressure we feel from our family, our colleagues, and (even) our friends. The pressure to do “what’s right.” OR what we BELIEVE they expect us to be and do.
BUT is it right for you?! Is it enhancing your life? Or is it steering you away from who you want to be? Who you were born to be?
Let’s find out.
Learn how conformity works and why it has stood the test of time. Sure, we naturally feel good when we are part of a group, a community, or something greater than ourselves.
BUT what happens when the group begins to sway the way we think? Does that feel good (on the inside)? Or does it cause an inner conflict?
And… SO,
for the courageous side of you…
You can lift yourself from the pack mentality. You can be independent. AND can be true to yourself.
Join us and discover how to easily shift the pressure from conformity to one of Exquisite Alignment.

As I reflect on my business and personal life, I often use the analogy of the ripple effect caused by a pebble in the pond. Often, we have no idea that we can cause a ripple effect in our life and business by how we show up for the people in our orbit. I love using visual cues like this because it explains so much of how we are all connected in a deep and meaningful way, whether we realize it or not.

This week's show might sound odd and you might be thinking "why would I want to do something I don't want to do?" Good question but let me explain. If you follow me on social media, you know that my dad recently passed away. This was such a complete shock to all of us and we are all still trying to process how we move forward.
I've been swallowed in grief for the past 2 weeks and trying to figure out how I can reacclimate to the world without my dad. I'm finding my old patterns of wanting to retreat and be alone rearing up which is keeping me isolated and alone. (If you've listened to the show in the past, you know my history with the word "alone"). Now is when I need people the most so I've had to find ways to do differently than I've done in the past.
What I'm finding is that doing things I don't want to do (as long as they are beneficial and healthy) is what is saving me right now. It's helping me find relief from the grief when it didn't seem like that was possible.
Even if you haven't suffered from the depths of grief like I am now, I think you'll still find something valuable in this episode when doing things you don't want to do.

Times are changing. Often we don't realize how much change has occurred over time until we reflect with family, friends, or coworkers. I must admit that sometimes changes can be overwhelming, especially if the change is unexpected. I invite you to join me in a mindful look at the "transition" part of Transition Awareness Breathing. In this episode, I would like to explore how we can unexpectedly move into stagnation rather than adaptation. I will refer to a great book by Dr. Stephen Johnson called "Who Moved My Cheese." This podcast will be a two-part episode. I invite you to get a copy of the book "Who Moved My Cheese" and discover the writings on the cheese, which we will be talking about in these two episodes.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick, author of her newest book in the trilogy A New Life Awaits which shares stories and messages from Spirit to show us that our challenges are not merely economic, political or societal issues but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. In today’s episode Julia Keys and Jacqueline Coles authors of The MANscript will share how finding out about her famous husband having an affair with a friend of her daughters while devastating was a way for her to identify her own inner strength and find a way to master her emotions.As listeners of “Healing From Within” are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and insights into the dual nature of our spiritual and physical lives in the attempt to self- investigate and understand the many difficulties people face in family parental and spousal relationships, for we find relationships are the way we learn to understand our emotions and reactions to all events in our lives and rediscover life is really a journey of the soul to remember the infinite potential we have to thrive and evolve in a world that is always changing.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Julia Keys author of The MANscript will share learning about the affair of her husband Richard Keys which was even harder for her and the family as he was a celebrity and it was in the tabloids and the aftermath that followed. The ordeal tore Julia and her family apart and Julia and her friend Jacqui, both nurses and counselors created the book The MANscript which outlines what men say and do when they are caught cheating so that women can identify it. We will learn essential information on dealing with emotions and how to make the best decisions for the future after a hurtful situation.When Julia is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to her or others the lifestyle she might embrace as an adult she immediately tells of sitting with her father at the piano where her father played without being able to read music and how she so enjoyed that special time with him. Sheryl remembers having a grandmother who also played beautifully without reading music and her father who played the violin. Music is the language of the soul and deep wisdom and brings a feeling of connectedness and safety often into our complicated lives.Julia tells us why she wrote this book and how infidelity affected her. The MANScript is designed to help you.
Have the confidence to say how you feel, in the hope of bringing about a form of communication, which will facilitate a resolution to the conflict you feel.Know you are not on your own with your feelings.Feel stronger again when you are at your most vulnerable.Gain the tools to stay focused on what is real.Understand that whatever the outcome of your suspicions, you can survive and be happy. At every stage of betrayal, communication is the key to saving your relationship or moving on.
The MANScript is designed to bring your attention to the various scripts that men use when cheating. Armed with this knowledge, you will be more able to talk about your suspicions, Julia Keys and Jacqui Coles in a calm and appropriate manner show readers how to ask questions early on when you intuitively have a gut feeling that something is not right and communicating your concerns with your partner. You are then opening the door to an opportunity to discuss the worries you both may have. This book will guide you through all the emotions you feel, from that initial twinge of suspicion to potentially dealing with the pain and grief at the loss of a relationship
Infidelity can be devastating , often destroying families and leaving the victim the betrayed partner, feeling like they can never trust another partner again. Sometimes women are the last to know they are being cheated on and once they do find out, they have no idea how to deal with the practical issues that infidelity creates...

Communication is often broken down into two components: speaking and listening. And how you do each of those things will determine not just how well you are understood, but how healthy and happy your relationships will be. Moving from listening to respond to listening to understand is a key relationship skill. This kind of listening, also called Deep Listening, creates connection and real intimacy. Author and speaker Dr. Diana Raab reveals what you can do to get better at it.
If you have challenges with communication, Lesli can help. Please share this powerful show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Today may people criticize America as being seriously flawed with a history of systemic racism and greed. These same critics deny that God has blessed and prospered America in order to establish freedom around the world. Most of these critics condemn capitalism and advocate for world-wide socialism as the ideal government. These critics are wrong, and their plans and philosophies must be opposed.
The 1619 Project seeks to paint America as being founded on the backs of slavery. This approach attempts to erase that part of our history about people who came to America for religious reasons. Beginning with the colonists who came to America on the Mayflower, many colonists came here for religious reasons—and slavery was not a part of this foundation. Similarly, the men who established the Constitution were God-fearing men who sought to do God’s will in establishing a government that guaranteed the blessings of liberty for all. America is the nation spoken of in biblical prophecies where the Lord would raise an ensign to the nations from the top of the mountains, which would be the base for God’s operations to prepare a people for the Lord’s Second Coming.
If we are to help America to achieve its divine destiny to preserve liberty for Americans and to help bring freedom to other peoples around the world, then we must not buy into the view that America was and is defective and evil, but rather we must acknowledge God as the source of our blessings and prosperity in the past, and our hope for the future.

Words most definitely can hurt so choose them wisely. Our kids are listening. This episode is based on the book Words Choose Wisely by Paolo Iglesias.
Transcript
I grew up with the expression “Sticks and Stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me” and you know what. It’s not true. I think the saying was designed to give us a snarky comeback when you’re up against the wall with no other way to retaliate. Kind of like “I know you are but am I” these childhood defense mechanisms may be useful sometimes but the truth is words can hurt. Words are powerful. Speaking as an adult, have you ever sat on a jury and heard the judge say, “…the jury will disregard that testimony”? It’s hard to forget what was said especially if the words were powerful; and when words are used against you for a prolonged period of time it can create a very real problem.
People who have been Bullied are at a major risk factor for poor physical and mental health. If you’re young it can harm your ability to form lasting relationships. If you’re old it becomes hard to integrate into a workplace which in turn has an economic impact. Words can hurt. Most definitely.
Paolo (Expressive) ...and it’s all about how you use your words because the same word can have a very different meaning and the tone you use and how you express it. That’s quite important.
That is Paolo Iglesias and she wrote a book about all this so we can learn how to teach the impact of words and how to use them properly to our kids.
Paolo (Hi this is Paolo) My name is Paulo Iglesias. This is my first book.
It is called “Words Choose Wisely”.
Paolo (Words Choose Wisely)Words Choose Wisely is about knowing what you say to people and the impact that might have on them. it’s not something that you can’t control. That was something that led me to write the book because it’s not just on a personal note but it’s something that can affect everybody.
True, bullying does not discriminate and it’s a global problem that is often mistaken as a right of passage into adulthood. Can we call that an urban myth or just an incorrect statement? Anyway this book finds its inspiration in the author's personal life.
Paolo (The book) I wrote it coming out of a situation of uh, what we call domestic conflict I suppose. I was quite affected over the years by the words that were used against me; the controlling manner in which words were used and I realized the impact, the incredible impact it had on me and the devastating effect it had on my children as a result of that. It’s all about bullying.
And since bullying is a global issue, she released her book in three different languages: French, English and Spanish and she enlisted the help of her thirteen year old son to do the illustrations which was just brilliant. He uses stick figures that are remarkably expressive.
Paulo (Illustrations) The images are very simple. Very Clear. for the perspective of a child. And there's one of the drawings, there’s two people are happy and you can see that in his bubble head has people around the table and everybody is laughing and in the other image he’s drawn the bully or the person being accused, accusing the other child or insulting the other child with another bubble over his head and you can see his family is tense and upset and so its the image you bring. you bring other things to the words that you say.
It’s great because you can clearly see what is happening and that’s what it’s all about. Simple, effective communication about an important issue. The drawings not only help kids to understand what’s being said, they also help parents to think about how they use words.
Paolo (Bullies aren’t born) Bullies are not born bullies there’s always a background to that and how parents talk to each other, it's a start or how parents talk to their kid will make them feel a certain way so that’s the premise of this whole book was that context.
And, if you see something,

Many mystical predictions are presented in the biblical book of Revelations. The author focuses on seven churches that can represent modern religions: Ephesus (Catholicism), Smyrna (Judaism), Pergamum (Voodoo), Thyatira (Hinduism), Sardis (Buddhism), Philadelphia (Christianity), and Laodicea (Islam).
Adams provides an examination of each church which includes: a brief history, the evolution of the religion to the current day, an elucidation of doctrine and rituals, and four or five “key points” that illustrate the connection to the message of Jesus. The author’s objectivity is notable. He presents some criticism of all religions, including Christianity, with no special bias either for or against any.
Besides frequently quoting from the Bible, the author also draws from scholarly works. He provides a complete list of the sources he used for research, such as R. C. Zaehner’s Encyclopedia of World Religions, in the back of the book.
Adams fully believes and expounds that anyone, at any time, who understands the message of Revelation and accepts Jesus can partake of his blessings. His book would make an excellent focus for a Bible study among religious seekers.

Based on the book, We Are “The My People” in the Bible by Carl L. Jones
Summary: Let’s talk about the people in the bible. This episode is based on the book by Carl Jones, We Are “The My People” in the Bible. It is an accumulation of years of study, experiences, teaching and learning.
Transcript
Let’s talk about the people in the bible. Is it possible that we are confused about their skin color and true identity? Is it possible that the things we always thought we knew were wrong? When the bible talks about slavery who are the enslaved people? What about holidays have we formed our thoughts and ideas about holiday’s incorrectly and is it possible that they have very little to do with scripture and more to with distracting us from the truth?
Heavy questions, I know. Carl Jones is a man that wants to set the record straight. He is a passionate, intelligent man that has done a great deal of biblical research. He has written a book that turns many of our religious ideas upside down. It’s called We Are “The My People” in the Bible.
Before we get into the specifics of the book I need to tell you that Carl doesn’t strike me as the kind of man who does things for shock value or to be sensational. He is passionate about his beliefs and he is eager to share his findings. So, regarding the title…
Carl Jones - O.k. The people in the bible are people that refer to us as black but in actuality our color is not black. In fact, Hebrews are from light skin tone or even pale pink to a darker brown. We go to Moses in Exodus 1:6. He stuck his hand in the bosom, took it out and it was white like a leper. He stuck it back in and changed back to the other color. the other flesh, as the bible says. In Genesis 14:13 it states that Abraham was a Hebrew. so the Hebrew are people with, their skin tone is melanated and this was a specific design by God the father and who are we to contradict what the father has done. We can contradict but are we doing it correctly? So that’s why I said we are the my people in the bible.
In his book Carl takes issue with Hollywood and their portrayal of biblical characters. He say’s the reality of these people is not what you see portrayed on the screen and to be completely fair to Hollywood that may have been the case during the early years but lately I think that has changed. At least in the case of the new show The Chosen. Anyway he also says that many of our religious leaders have gotten things wrong.
Carl Jones - What we have been taught as Christians, Roman Catholics and so on is information that has been given to you is correct by those leaders because leaders are men and men sometimes get things wrong.
He also takes issue with Christian holidays and how they are celebrated with symbols like the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and Christmas trees. They intentionally alter our perception of the true meaning of those days.
Carl Jones - Those holidays, and the word Holiday comes from the bible and holiday refers to what man does to celebrate for himself. But actually the word came from Holy Day which means reference to God and what we should celebrate to God only.
Don’t even get him started on Halloween. He also addresses in a pretty graphic way, the atrocity of slavery. Not to minimize theJewish holocaust of the 40's but according to Carl the first holocaust actually began on a slave ship bound for Virginia in 1619. These ships were full of disease, people chained to each other on a long, hot journey, and once they arrived in America they were sold, children separated from their parents, they were given new names and denied an education. Oh there’s a lot more but the bottom line here is that It began a period of 400 years of biblical slavery that is now up.
Carl Jones - If you got to the 13th verse of Genesis he had to put Abraham to sleep because he used the word Horror. Because what we went through or the people that were transferred on the boat,

A new understanding is developed in this book about the relationship between the Christian faith, modern science, and the world religions. The authors call their new position Evolutionary Pluralism.
By combining the Christian faith with modern science and the global growth of religious diversity, Evolutionary Pluralism provides Christians with an alternative to current interpretations such as Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, Intelligent Design Creationism, and Evolutionary Creationism. This new understanding stands solidly within the history and traditions of the Christian faith and builds on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

Welcome back to the second part this two-part episode with my guest, Orit Amy Elyon Pemberton, Ph.D. I am honored to have Dr. Orit Pemberton as my guest. Dr. Pemberton reveals how tones and silence affectes mental and physical expressions as an art, when musicians use their instrument to produce musical communication. In addition, Orit uncovers how musicians overcome challenges through movement and the awareness of being. Muscians must use awareness to guide them through emotions. This concept can be used by anyone. Dr. Pemberton points out that “ Music was the largest form of communication”, during the pandemic. Music has brings a sense of unity. Or it's favorite saying is “Keep the music flowing. “
Orit Amy Elyon Pemberton majored in Vocal Performance as an undergraduate and received her master's degree in Vocal Performance from Indiana University. Dr. Pemberton earned her doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Texas in Austin. She is the Voice Area Coordinator at the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to being a mother of three, Orit teaches, travels, sings opera, and performs recitals worldwide. Thank you, Dr. Pemberton, for guiding us on how musicians learn to focus and positively relax their bodies.

Kelley Glover is a published scholar and doctoral research assistant at Texas State University, where she is working on her PhD in School Improvement. She has music education degrees from Howard University and the Eastman School of Music, and she is the creator of a culturally responsive music education cartoon and music game app called, "U BETTER Sing! which was featured on the PBS show, “Blackademics,” where she discussed how racism affects music education and its effect on students of color. Her company’s products were also sent overseas to work with young Nigerian girls affected by the Boko Haram crisis, in an initiative to educate and heal students through music. I should add that Kelley and I also have written a book together called The Fun of Living Together - We Must Learn to Live Together as Brothers or Perish Together as Fools, and of course that’s a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We have never promoted the book in all the current chaos in this country, but it will be a part of Seek Reality Online, and we plan to work with it there.

As I was searching for the quote I wanted to use today, this one jumped out at me.
In my experience and working with my clients I find many approaches to happiness as a result - something that you get when you reach a goal or a milestone.
I have heard many people say things to me like, 'I'll be happy when I get my promotion, or I’ll be happy as soon as I get more business, or I’ll be happy when I can stop working?’ And the list goes on.
These types of comments always cause me to pause and think about why we humans think that we need X to happen before we can be or feel happy.
For me, happiness is an inside game, and I will say that at times it can be challenging.
About Rebecca Morrison:

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick Author of the final book in my trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit showing us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a deep dissociation from our true being or inner soul wisdom. I am delighted today to welcome Dr. Christine R. Page, author of "The Heart of the Great Mother" offering sacred spiritual tools to connect to the love, passion and creative powers of the Great Mother for spiritual transformation.Hello Dr. Page and thank you for joining us on “Healing from Within” to share how the Great Mother Hears our heart’s yearning to escape our old ways of suffering and struggle to find peace, fulfillment and joy.As listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect over the years, my guests and I share intimate stories and insights into the human and divine nature of man or the duality of our physical ego related world and that of the heart or soul of our energetic eternal life force. In learning more about the metaphysical aspects of life we learn to move beyond fear and restriction to find fluidity, creativity and our inner spiritual gifts.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Christine R. Page M.D. who has been a pioneer in the fields of spiritual wisdom and holistic health care for over 40 years and who offers individual soul readings, astrology workshops and retreats for women empowering them to embody the gifts of the Great Mother is the author of 8 books including the Healing Power of the Sacred Woman. Today we will discuss how since 2012 which marked the birth of a new cycle of time that will last for 26,000 years the Great Mother’s eternal source of energy will be calling on the feminine within us all to create a world worthy of the next seven generations and begin an era of peace abundance and spiritual evolution and to share how the Great Mother hears our heart’s yearning to escape our old ways of suffering and struggle to find peace fulfillment and joy. We will find that we must release our hold on the destructive patterns and embrace the divine feminine qualities of intuition, creativity and rhythmic renewal.At the beginning of the book Dr. Page describes the birth of a new world in 2012: a new start for everyone. Why, years from this event are we still not fully embracing the opportunities for change? Christine shares with us the thought that All mystics let us know that despite appearances, life is impermanent: here today, gone tomorrow. All dreams and ideas arise from a primal source often described as the Great Mother or ocean of possibilities. It is here that all our creations will eventually return to enhance her collective consciousness. So what image of the future do we wish to create?Dr. Page writes “ Life has sadly become a struggle for so many people due to external circumstances. The fire of their free will has almost been extinguished by a belief that their life is controlled and fated by a higher authority or power and there is no escape. Yet the deep eternal fire of their soul cannot be extinguished. The intuitive heart is today sending our radiant pulses of light and love to help us remember that unlimited possibilities—associated with love, joy and pleasure---are still readily available to us now! This is not fantasy or wishful thinking: can you not feel the cells of the body starting to shimmer and feel excited once more. A deeply buried memory is starting to awaken which if nurtured with the help of the emotions will create a fruitful future worthy of your soul’s desires…..The Earth and its inhabitants are presently engaged in a powerful time of transformation when the old paradigm is giving way to the new. In other words we’re dissolving to evolve. We are lucky to be alive at this time.

As I write the introduction for this show I sit and reflect on the many bosses I have had during my 20-year corporate career, before opening my business 21 years ago. I’ve had the gamut of the good, the bad, and the ugly bosses…lol!
Sadly, the majority were not very good leaders, and often felt like I had to fend for myself.
I remember my first sales manager who trained me by going out on prospect calls with me. After the appointments, he would end up yelling at me in the car, pointing out all the things I didn’t say or said incorrectly. There was never any positive feedback…ever!
Finally, after working as a financial advisor for about a year I sold my first million-dollar life policy to a small business owner. When I got to our office in the morning, I was so excited to share my success and this is what he said, “why didn’t you sell a two-million-dollar policy?”
Clearly, he was never voted boss of the year!

Former Republican Evan McMullin (also a former worker in the 2012 Presidential campaign of Mitt Romney) is trying to unseat Utah Senator Mike Lee. Senator Lee is one of the most effective spokesmen in the nation for the Constitution and for conservative values. Evan McMullin, who is closely aligned with Senator Mitt Romney, is running as an Independent in the Utah Senatorial campaign of 2022. He has been endorsed there by the Democrat party, which decided not to put its own candidate on the ballot in order to help McMullin beat Lee in November.
We will review some important history about Evan McMullin’s failed campaign for President in 2016, when he opposed both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
We will discuss several aspects of the contest between Lee and McMullin. Although Lee and McMullin have some positions in common, McMullen supports the Left’s extreme and damaging climate change agenda. If McMullin were to beat Lee in November, this would give Utah two Senators who are not true conservatives and who would support much of the Left’s socialist agenda.

I chose this quote because of the word plan. To have financial freedom the first thing you need to do is create a plan that is customized for you and your family.
I was raised to save for a rainy day. Good advice that served me well when COVID hit, and the world shut down in March of 2020. My income stopped, my husband’s company closed, and we had two kids in college and no income. What did we do?
We needed to use our savings to get through the yearlong rough patch. Here’s the reality, how many times have you hit rough patches during your life. No one is immune to financial distress. Without a plan, you may be navigating devastating results versus coming through the other end in one piece.

I invite you to join me and my guest, Orit Amy Elyon Pemberton, Ph.D. During this two-part episode, I am honored to have Dr. Orit Pemberton as my guest. Dr. Pemberton reveals how a musician is affected positively or negatively mentally and physically as they use their instrument to produce a musical communication that transcends many languages. In addition, Orit uncovers challenges that musicians move through. For example, they must control their nerves and boost creative energy during a performance. At the same time, musicians must get into the right mindset to perform to the best of their ability.
Orit Amy Elyon Pemberton majored in Vocal Performance as an undergraduate and received her master's degree in Vocal Performance from Indiana University. Dr. Pemberton earned her doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Texas in Austin. She is the Voice Area Coordinator at the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to being a mother of three, Orit teaches, travels, sings opera, and performs recitals worldwide. Thank you, Dr. Pemberton, for guiding us on how musicians learn to focus and positively relax their bodies.

Back in the 1960s, the phrase “let it all hang out” gained popularity. It means “to behave freely without being shy or feeling worried about what other people will think of you”. Being your authentic self is good. Having no limits to your behavior is not. But where should you draw the line? The concept of “ladies and gentlemen” may be outdated but there are some positive behaviors defined by these terms that may still be useful. Practicing physician and author Dr. Leonard Sax reveals how teaching young people these behaviors can create the foundation for better relationships and lives.

Mamie Kanfer Stewart and I are going to discuss how to stop wasting time and draining energy in unproductive meetings.
As I observe my own productivity challenges, I realize that most of us spend so much time in meetings discussing what needs to get done versus actually doing what needs to get done.
This reminded me of the time my husband came home from work (before remote) one Friday night and shared with me that he calculated the amount of time he was in meetings for that week. Wait for it!
The number of hours in meetings that week was 35! 35 hours, holy smokes! Of course, I asked him, “who does the work and when does it actually get done?” His answer was that he wasn’t sure. Shocking the amount of time, we feel the need to be in meetings for optics or to show we are an important player in the organization or the need to just feel needed.
Studies have shown that unproductive meetings are one of the greatest forms of waste in business today. Not only do they hamper productivity, but they also drain energy and diminish morale. Learn three simple strategies to make all your meetings effective and engaging.

Welcome to “Healing From Within” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits Spiritual Insights To Support Global Awakening which shares many stories and messages from Spirit showing us that our challenges are not economic political or societal just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Sherrie Dillard, author of I’m Still With You who like many of my spiritually developed authors in one way or another has found that “Consciousness survives physical death and we as souls are eternal vessels of pure energy and love.As listeners of “Healing From Within” over the years have come to expect the world of energy or Universal source is a vast territory of new perceptions and realities and often we become interested in this world beyond physical life by recognizing the duality of life and that we are spiritual beings having a physical life in order to refine and expand our already magnificent soul potential. Life becomes miraculously better when we merge our spiritual awareness to reach higher consciousness and live purposely in the here and now.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Sherrie Dillard who is a professional psychic medium and therapist for over thirty years and has given over 50,000 readings worldwide will share thoughts the afterlife what happens to our loved ones there, intuition, spiritual development, and healing and its importance in the modern day challenges the world is facing right now.Sherrie shares her experience of dealing with many souls who have crossed over and believes as soon as our loved ones cross over pass out of their physical body and quite often even before they pass they become aware that loved ones are around them waiting and death is not the end even if they have not been of that mindset before. Once on the other side they are able to see and feel the shock and grief that their relatives and friends on the earth plane are experiencing. They desperately want us to know they are still alive and some even when they are passing over stop and you might feel a breeze or touch on your shoulder or feel a shadow pass by you. Sheryl’s cousin told her many years ago even before she had begun her healing and mediumship work and was not aware of an afterlife that at the very time of our Grandmother Sarah’s passing she had felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see who was there and no one was there. Soon after her mother called telling her that Grandma had just passed.Sheryl goes on to say that in her new book A New Life Awaits she addresses this question of who waits for departed souls and wrote, “When I interviewed Annie who discussed her communication with her brother who had passed, I had no idea that before long, my sister Rodelle would pass. As a medium, I received thoughtful, creative, validating messages for my clients. I assumed that was the way Spirit intended for me to use the gift of spiritual communication. However, I was told years ago that I could ask to speak to any soul energy, anywhere, alive or in spirit. I never tried to contact my own family members, as I felt that should they need to reach me, they would. Eight months after Rodelle’s passing, I decided to meditate and try to check in to see how she was relating to her new world. Unlike Billy, who reached out to his sister, I reached out to mine in spirit. Usually when I do a reading, I simply write down whatever is presented to me. It seems the information is usually perfectly tailored to what my client needs at the moment. With Rodelle, however, I decided to ask her questions. I asked her who was there to meet her. Immediately I began to feel a pressure, a tightening on my head, as perhaps the drugs she was given before passing confused her. She was frightened. Our dad was calling to her to move forward. Rodelle soon saw the head of the Statue of Liberty immense in size; the face was very close to her...
Most Americans have revolted at the Biden Administration’s proposed “Disinformation Governance Board,” which the Administration proposed to address what they call the greatest threat to America—domestic terrorism. They define domestic terrorism to be “right-wing white supremacists,” and they then attempt to identify Donald Trump and his supporters to be such terrorists. This was a tactic used by “Big Brother” in George Orwell’s novel 1984. The “Thought Police” that Orwell described was just what the Biden Administration sought to establish.
The Biden Administration is a great fit for “Big Brother,” the leader of the Party that rules in Orwell’s fictional country of Oceania. Just as in 1984, no one is sure whether Big Brother is even a real person, so in the Biden Administration, no one knows who is really calling the shots; Biden appears to be a puppet, who merely parrots the lines and slogans that the socialists who elected him want him to say.
The Biden Administration is not exactly the same as the Party that rules in 1984, but so many of the philosophies and tactics are the same in both that it is worthwhile to point out the similarities. Orwell writes critically about the socialist, totalitarian society that he foresaw, which was an enemy of truth, family, love, economic prosperity and freedom. The Biden Administration seems to be patterning its philosophy and programs after those of the Party in 1984.
Summer of 2022 was suppose to be a time we could finally celebrate without masks and get out for delayed vacations. But Joe biden's policies have brought us record high gas prices and inflation is eating the American citizens' pocketbooks alive. It's not just Joe Biden though, the leadership of the Democratic Party is making policies that are hurting the American middle class. The Democrats claim to want to help the poor but then pass policies that ramp up inflation purposedly. Doc sees one way to help bring gas prices down. How can that be done?

Carl Jones is a pastor of the street in the Dallas Forth Worth area of Texas, in the U.S.A. Like most of us he has faced challenging times in his life as well as good times, and his spiritual life has reflected his own personal life with highs and lows. However, despite everything he has endured his faith in Elohiym (Hebrew for God) has never wavered since the age of twelve. But he does acknowledge that some of the paths he has gone down can be construed as hesitant at best.
https://youtu.be/N8a0LA4VT3w
Carl has six children he’s worked for SBC, GTE, Verizon and Walmart. He’s been connected with several church denominations and has acquired a vast spiritual background from the teachings of numerous pastors and evangelists who have steered him to becoming mature in Christ. Believing he was saved in his eyes at such a tender age and with God’s continuing support Carl vehemently concludes that Elohiym is at the heart of his life based on biblical scriptures, prophecies that have been fulfilled and still to be fulfilled. A replaced earth is very much in the upper mind of Carl’s thinking based again on biblical citations, he references to climate change, pollution, debt, food issues all contributing to earth’s demise, we need to reset our approach to everything.
In Carl’s foreword he starts with saying,” this book can be shocking, debated and criticised by some, and to others, it may not be. You have the wonderful choice to accept this information research or just stay in your status quo like the people in the movie The Matrix. In the movie they didn’t realise what had happened, but they were blinded by a lie. And only a few selected souls knew the truth.” A powerful opening gambit you might say. Carl goes on in his foreword to challenge your long held traditional views, some points you might take issue with, others you might want to reflect and do your own research.
This book is not a book you cuddle up in bed with, it’s not meant to be, it’s a book that turns traditional Christian ideology on its head. If you have an open mind and are prepared to view a religious concept with a different viewpoint you might find Carl’s book intriguing at the very least. To those who have a closed mind when it comes to religious origins, I fear you might find this book confrontational. But either way have a read and draw your own conclusions. Just to give you a brief insight into Carl’s world I quote,” I am Hebrew. I no longer believe in Christmas, Halloween, and Good Friday and Easter. Christ did not die on Friday. Some people may feel I am crazy, but I am quite in a good mindset. These are pagan holidays and not holy days.”
If you want to order/purchase a copy of Carl’s book which is available in paperback or ebook formats you can click the Amazon link below. Alternatively, you can head to www.Xlibris.com or orders@Xlibris.com bookstore search Carl L Jones.
Thank you, Carl, for giving me the opportunity to review your book and chat to you.
This book is about the continuing adventures, romances, and fighting of Beat Zug and his Anatolian Shepherd Dog, Leon. Originally, they lived-in modern-day Switzerland where they were somehow cajoled into joining the Roman Army.
After winning many battles and saving Rome from the Goths, Beat is promoted to the rank of Commander of the Eastern Roman army. Although he was once known as Beat, the shepherd boy, he is now known as Commander Zug of the Eastern Roman army. He is planning the campaign for an invasion. He receives orders from Rome to drive the Sassanids out of Jerusalem. Then teach the Sassanid Empire, to “Bow to Rome!”
Upon completion of the campaign, Commander Zug decides he must honor a promise he made to Mae, a slave girl he rescued from Chinese pirates. In order to fulfil this promise, he led the Eastern Roman army east across the Sassanid empire, through India, and through China. Mae’s family lives in a group of islands, nameless at the time but known today as the Philippines.
Beat and Leon’s adventure continues as they attempt to return to Rome.

Based on the book DRAGUM by K.c. LaSaga
Kali craves to venture out into the world; to travel, but instead of going to Paris she falls into a risqué relationship with another woman. Driven by Dragum, the invisible force pulling her to do things she wouldn’t normally do, she enters into a journey of self discovery.
Transcript
I want to talk to you for a minute about the importance of being your own true authentic self. Is that how you live your life? Some of us do but many of us choose to live a lie - for whatever reason. Do you know someone like this? And, no matter what you say or do, you can’t force someone to be who they are not and you can’t force them to make decisions they don’t want to make — even if they are the right decisions. I know I’m saying a lot. These words can have a double meaning so let me try to be a bit more specific.
Realizing who you truly are is giving yourself permission to not be okay because admitting you’re not okay, is exactly what you need in order to move forward from the past. This kind of self-discovery is actually giving yourself the opportunity you need to heal.
Author K.C. LaSaga has written a book that addresses these issues. It’s called Dragum and this is an abbreviated version of the synopsis, “Naïve young Kali craves to venture out into the world. Instead, she falls into a risqué relationship with another woman….
K.c. Lasaga: It’s not your typical love story, I feel like it's a love story with one’s self.
So, DRAGUM is based on a same sex relationship and all the complications that go along with that including those with her friends, her family and fitting into the world.
K.c. Lasaga: Some people have been misled to think that the book is about a lesbian relationship but its more about a queer woman just navigating her world.
Here’s how it all begins.
K.c. Lasaga: She decides to just go out one night. She meets someone online and they make plans to go to this event called Les-Cute. She ends up meeting a very attractive lesbian who cannot take her eyes off of and she falls in love at first sight and it almost feels like what has become now a Dragummed night. Dragum is the intuition that’s pulling Kallie to do these things that she wouldn’t normally do; Like when she is sitting in herself she wouldn’t normally do these things but Dragum is this greater power that makes her intuition just like, go one fire and she can’t help but engage. So, Dragum is pulling her around and she can’t help but be attracted to this one woman in Les-Cute
And SHE begins settling into life with her newfound love. and it’s a life her parents do not approve of so Kali finds herself consumed by the needs of others, and is forced to fight to find home in a world that’s placed her in a box.
K.c. Lasaga: The book really is about Kali gaining what she needs within herself so she has all these people reaching out wanting to help her but that is not what she needs. That is not what her life journey is about or how she needs to grow. So you like, even her parents are reaching out and trying to save her but i think the message i want to portray with the book is that sometimes we all just have to go through the process and trust the process that we are all taking this journey even if it’s rough and challenging that it’s going to make us stronger in the end and that it’s giving us the skills and knowledge that will help our future selves.
Have you heard the expression “It’s got to be their idea”? Most people can’t or won’t appreciate a life decision if they feel forced into it. Life has to take its natural course, whatever that may be.
K.c. Lasaga: Sometimes the best way to learn something is to experience it.
Amen. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about that. I said to him, “I am the aster of learning from my mistakes…” It’s almost like I need to make them and learn from them in order to find the right path.
In a bizarre narrative, Jeff Martinovich was convicted and sentenced to 14-years in federal prison, then released on home confinement after seven years. He stops by today to share his amazing story as well as the details of his new book “Just One More: The Wisdom of Bob Vukovich”
Guest Bio: Jeff was Founder and CEO of MICG Investment Management, a billion dollar wealth management firm nationally recognized for its rapid growth, WoW service and A-Player culture. Following the 2008 Financial Crisis, MICG’s proprietary hedge funds experienced regulatory scrutiny and allegations. As CEO, Jeff vigorously defended his firm, refusing multiple settlement offers and instead choosing to defend his employees and himself in federal court. In a bizarre narrative, Jeff was convicted and sentenced to 14-years in federal prison. His case was reversed twice by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, two separate U.S. District Court Judges were removed, and his successful federal suit liberated him from a higher-security, violent prison. In May 2020, after nearly 7 years, Jeff was released to home confinement and began his journey of rebuilding, restoring and turning disadvantages into advantages.

If you've listened to the show, you've heard me say that our thoughts matter. What we think sets the basis for how we live out our life. Whether your thoughts are good or bad, your life is going to move in the direction those thoughts take you. After you start to change your thoughts,it doesn't stop there. So what comes next? I'm so glad you asked because this episode is all about the key to creating what you speak!
Dr. Erhard Vogel joins me in this episode for our monthly conversation and we really break down what it means to "Create What You Speak". I've never done a deep dive into what that means...until this episode! Erhard and I share some key steps you can take today to really start experiencing yourself and being engaged in your life. We also answer a listener's question about the unempowering strategy of dissociating during pain and Erhard provides insight on how to look at a situation like that differently.

About Amie Wade:
Amie Wade is a Certified Life Coach; Certified Mind, Body, Spirit Practitioner; Reiki Master/Teacher; Certified Angel Card Reader; Certified 200-hour yoga teacher; and author. She has a background of over 20 years of office management and administration work.
Hanging onto her childhood stories of abandonment, mental and emotional abuse and then molestation, which contributed to having suicidal thoughts almost daily, kept her in the space of hopelessness and despair. As an adult, she chose to use alcohol to cope with her unhealthy emotions and a way to be able to relax and have fun. With the information she gained from taking the certification courses, reading lots of books, and listening to a multitude of spiritual teachers and influencers, she learned to change her perspective about her life experiences and released her addiction.
While working full-time in the corporate world, Amie dabbled in coaching for 15 years with her Reiki clients and the classes, workshops, and retreats that she facilitated. She decided that her desire and lifelong mission is to help guide others in feeling empowered as they navigate their emotional healing journey with the intention of being confident in living a spiritual-based life with a powerful sense of self-love and, therefore, established her business as Amie Wade – Emotional Resiliency Coach, LLC.

Twenty years ago Congress was fixated on passing the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform (BCFR) Act (2002), as an attempt to prevent special interest groups from corrupting politics. To try to accomplish this, the BCFR Act regulated monetary contributions from special interest groups. The BCFR Act was seriously flawed from the beginning; it put significant restrictions on the speech of political campaigns and corporations—except for media corporations, which were treated as if they were all objective and unbiased. President George W. Bush refused to veto the bill. As popular as the issue was, it was never realistic—it was like digging a hole in water. Money is inextricably related to political speech. And as the Supreme Court recently said in FEC v. Cruz, the only permissible ground for restricting political speech is the prevention of quid pro quo corruption.
The BCFR Act regulation at issue in FEC v. Cruz was the regulation that limited a campaign from paying back loans from candidates that exceed $250,000 from post-election campaign contributions. Senator Cruz wanted his campaign to repay a $260,000 personal loan--$10,000 more than the BCFR Act would allow. Cruz said the regulation violated the First Amendment, and the Supreme Court (in a 6-3 vote) agreed with him
In this discussion we review the 2003 case of McConnell v. FEC (that originally upheld the BCFR Act), and the 2007 case of Wisconsin Right to Life v. FEC (that struck down a major BCFR regulation of soft money disbursements that gave media an unfair advantage over other campaigns and corporations. The Wisconsin Right to Life case was a very important Supreme Court case that corrected the terrible ruling four years earlier in McConnell v. FEC.
Today (2022) the Biden Administration seeks to silence political opposition. The First Amendment strictly bars limitations on political speech unless those regulations are warranted by strong evidence that the regulations would prevent quid pro quo corruption.You will enjoy this discussion pertaining to protecting political speech.

With climate change alone now actually threatening life as we know it on this wonderful but so badly abused planet, and with multiple additional crises adding to the rapidly increasing chaos it is essential that we come to understand what is really happening, why, and what to do about it. This book is an attempt to aid in that understanding. It recognizes the peril of this moment in our history but far more importantly, it shows what an extraordinary opportunity that peril affords us, can we but see it.About Peter O. Childs:
Peter Childs is a retired musician now living in the wilds of Northern California. He performed across this country and abroad and worked in recording studios with some of our finest artists. He has been active in diverse fields, having served on six nonprofit boards. But most importantly, he has always wanted to know the Truth of things and he has refused to take "no" for an answer.

The autobiography tells the tale of an indomitable girl named Karyl, who was born into a family that struggles to appreciate the true value of a female. From childhood to adolescence to adulthood, Karyl fights to find happiness where she can, but her dreams of happiness elude her at every turn.
In pursuit of a better life, she chases the fantasy of adventure and romance in the skies, but the wished-for glamour of the life as an airline stewardess is not exactly all she hopes it will be—and the same can be said of her marriage. What’s a girl to do? Challenged at every turn, Karyl struggles for her happiness and success. A doting ambassador may yet be the answer to her wistful dreams. However, she’s too scared to trust him fully. Determined to truly live the life she craves, Karyl fights on. Karyl explores and illustrates one woman’s ability to overcome incredible obstacles and turn them into overwhelming achievements, all in one lifetime. Inspired by her love of the great ladies of the Hollywood silver screen, the author composed a work that truly, audaciously, and loudly defies description. Part romance novel, part educational, and part inspirational, it tells a tale of a courageous girl named Karyl.

The book is a history of progressiveness in the United States from Theodore Roosevelt to the present. The research for the book includes many books, quotes, and authors from the past 120 years. Historically, the book focuses on the change in the governments thinking and how it has affected the people in this country.
People who grew up during the 1950’s, have seen how the country has changed. One example might be in 1950 a Chevrolet cost around $1500.00. Now a new Chevrolet is priced at over $35,000.00. Some people say inflation can’t be helped because technology cost more, materials cost more, and products last longer. Maybe – but where does it stop?
When will politicians of both parties begin to understand and realize what is going on?
Questions for my fellow Americans from the author:1.When will the deficit stop?2.Consumers don’t know if and when inflation will stop the deficit and will it break the American taxpayer: Inflation is what pays off the deficit3.When will the liberals realize there is no more money to pay off debts?4.America cannot keep printing money and expect to have a strong economy.5.Is the United States headed towards a socialist form of government and a one-party system?

The Big Apple, New York City, has an unwelcome guest raining havoc on its streets. There is a serial killer leaving bodies of young women in different locations around the city. This killer is a chameleon so good at disguising himself, he hides in plain sight. A fact that causes major concern for Detectives Dan Cerrico and Jack Klinger whose job it is to stop him.
The Detectives find themselves searching the dark corners of Broadway, while the killer is stalking the bright lights of Broadway. One beautiful, young, up-and-coming Broadway star has captured his damaged heart and soul. He won't let go until he has possessed her.
The man is cunning, charming and extremely intelligent. He is a truculent Serial Killer and his name is SAMUEL.

The other day I was doing an online workout and the instructor was reminding us to keep our head, neck and back in alignment for the particular exercise we were doing. In this reminder to us, she said "The answers you are looking for are not on the floor". I actually stopped the workout and started laughing at that moment. All I could think of was "wow, that is so true!".
In this episode, I share my thoughts on what goes on when we are looking down at the floor for answers, all the places we look for answers and how there are other options for us to find what we are looking for. We don't always have to be on a quest to fix ourselves through having someone else dictate our lives, comparing ourselves to someone's "perfect" life on social media or waiting for the next course or class to "fix" us.
You are not broken and you do not need fixing. This episode is a reminder of how you have the answers inside of you that you are looking for. It's time to take your personal power back and in this episode, I share my thoughts on how that can be done.

Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, last week admitted that she was wrong last year when she said that inflation was transitory. Doc Holliday has on several shows criticized Secretary Yellen for not preparing our nation for its fight against inflation. Now, as she admits she was wrong, just how much does she blame this administration for being wrong? Find out the answer to that question with Doc Holliday's use of two clips from Fox News. Also, Doc Holliday uses the second half of this show to remember those soldiers who are our heroes, the soldiers who fought and died on D-Day. Click on now for this week's show!

We express a desire to show kindness and caring in response to pain or suffering with compassion.

We accept that we may need help to move from pain to healing in the process. Join me as I share how to find strength and be aware of the growing motivation to make changes to make the future better. I invite you to explore the desire to birth new innovative actions responding to compassion.

I have always approached my career and business with a focus on my personal and professional growth, by learning something new every day.
The biggest lesson I have learned is that learning something new is a wonderful habit, as long as the information is useful for me and my clients and that I am able to put the information or new skill into action.
Action creates reactions, which in turn creates change and growth.
About David Richards:
David and I are going to discuss mindfulness which sometimes may feel mysterious. The reality is, that each and every one of us is in a different state of consciousness. What's most amazing today is the ability to absorb and share information? It's unprecedented.
One hundred years ago, our ancestors might have spent decades looking for information that we can find within minutes, and even seconds. How much more interconnected are we capable of becoming? How much more conscious can we be?
David is a life strategist, international bestselling author, and executive coach. He’s been teaching yoga for fifteen years and served in the Marines for fifteen years. He helps people achieve the extraordinary.

Welcome to “Healing From Within” with your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher Medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Sheryl is delighted to welcome the author James Purpura of Perception Seeing is NOT Believing.As listeners of Healing from Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests and I share intimate and insightful experiences often of mystical or metaphysical content which help us recognized that we are more than our physical being and that our inner intuitive soul nature when utilized in combination with our ego based mind reality offer us unlimited potential for success in both the physical and energetic realms of experience.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” James Purpura who has experienced some of the most extreme moments life can offer and was an inmate struggling with life in solitary confinement placed there as a result of his actions while homeless and addicted to drugs will share how he developed a personal philosophy and once released from jail found his wife, created an amazing family and prosperous life and became inspired to share his knowledge with the world. His wife Steph had a challenging life also and is a survivor of sexual abuse and an attempted suicide and went on to co-own a large software company and is now co-founder of Powerful U along with James. We will discover how the human spirit deals with trauma and loss and overcomes all to find happiness.When James is asked to think back to their childhood and remember a person, place or event that may have signaled to them or others the interests and lifestyle he might embrace tells us he really had a happy childhood and played a lot with his older brother. His mother told him he was one of those people who lit up a room when he walked in who got super excited about everything. When he got to school it became apparent he had some pretty severe learning disabilities and struggled with reading and was put in a special education class. The first day he went to that class the teacher called him up in front of the room and said, “Jimmy I don’t know if you know this or not but only stupid and retarded kids go to special ed.” James was shocked. It is sad to know there are teachers so insensitive and harmful, and probably doing that to demoralize the children and knock the wind out of their sails. James goes on to tell us that every day in that kindergarten class, this teacher called him up in front of the class to tell him he was stupid and instinctively he knew he couldn’t show any emotion or things would go even worse. It was at that point that James detached from his emotions. This teacher had given the kids by her actions permission to bully me. James' parents had divorced when he was about three years old and his Dad’s involvement in his life was very sporadic, His mom was bipolar and really incapable of helping James very much.Sheryl says that as a teacher in the NYC elementary schools she saw teachers who because they had tenure or a lifetime right to remain as teachers even incompetent teachers were not fired. Just like problems in the police or civil service, workers tenure is not such a good thing for maintaining a healthy group of functional people. Just like corruption in government agencies, political factions cover up so much negativity and abuse. It truly needs to be corrected.James Purpura’s book and film are the story of transformation and describes how he and his wife Steph both came from professional and personal bankruptcy to a life of success and service to others. Their book is designed to create a fundamental internal shift that redefines how readers think about their experiences and reshape how they experience life. If you begin to know what gives your life meaning,

Dr Eugene DeFriest Bétit’s comprehensive historical study of America’s troubled past relative to Africa Americans over the past four hundred years is enlightening, informative, and quite simply mesmerizing. The research behind this book took Dr. Betit five years, but it took him another four years to bring the book to publication. However, he did write a further three books during those four years in a similar vein to Collective Amnesia, so perhaps we might let him off with the length of time it took to complete this masterpiece. For a white man to delve into and expose the issues that Blacks endured was at times hard for him to envisage let alone write about, nevertheless, he did so, and the result is this remarkable chronicled publication impeccably written taking one on such a journey that for me was simply jaw-dropping.
https://youtu.be/8v8ecO_Ckbg
One of America’s “original sins” has been its convoluted issue around race relationships. For more than four hundred years America has struggled with racism, white supremacy, and how to co-exist with the African American community as well as other minority groups. Race was invented to justify the enslavement of Africans, who were brought over from Africa and sold to rich white supremacists as cheap labour to work the plantations, especially the cotton plantations. America today still faces endemic racism and the tensions between the white and black communities very often spill over onto America’s streets as acts of violence. A far cry some would say from President Thomas Jefferson’s pronouncement in the Declaration of Independence that,” all men are created equal.” Surely awareness and education play a major part in tackling racial inequalities something America’s founding forefathers envisaged. How did America find itself in this difficult place? Well let’s look at Dr Eugene DeFriest Bétit’s book.
Collective Amnesia takes you right back to the slave trade through the devastation of the Confederacy, followed by Emancipation and Reconstruction, The Freedmen’s Bureau, Race Laws and Segregation, the two world wars and The Great Migration, The Civil Rights movement up to the present-day tensions seen across America. All viewed from a black African American perspective by a white man!
Here are some of the testimonials he has received:
“An important book for all Americans who want to know the whole of American history. Dr Bétit chronicles the entire 400-year story of African slaves and their American descendants from colonial times to today. This book primarily focuses on the trials and tribulations of that long journey; a journey that must be learned by each new generation of both blacks and whites. Here in one book, today’s Americans can come to know that story.”
Dennis J. Quinn
Colonel, US Army (RET) and Former Instructor, National War College.
“Gene Betit’s deeply researched book describes various difficulties blacks experienced trying to achieve a place in white society when, even in modern times, acceptance has been grudging. However, the military has proven the black soldier equal to the white, and many of the civilian occupations are starting to open for them. The full integration of the nation, and thus our potential, can only be achieved when perceived ethnic, cultural, religious, and racial differences are subjugated, and that we realize that we are one people.”
Jim Locke
Lieutenant-Colonel, USA (RET)
“Collective Amnesia is both a testament of one people who refused to remain under-trodden and a reminder of how quickly others forget. Gene Bétit traces this duality throughout our history and concludes that the amnesia is simultaneously convenient and contrived. However, we forget at our peril, as this blindness continues to damn us as a nation. A must-read for those courageous enough to face facts and emerge from the matrix of ignorance.”
Dr. Rodney Coates, Ph.D. Professor Miami University Global and Intercultural Studies Sociology...
Summary: This episode is based on the book A Short Book of Poetry and thoughts to Share by Maryanne Wright. It’s about ordinary life, love, loss and Fantasy.
Transcript
There was a hummingbird in my backyard the other day and I couldn’t stop watching it. The way they move, the speed of their wings. Fascinating birds. I had to learn more about them so I looked it up. The North American hummingbird averages around 53 beats per second in normal flight.
I also get lots of dragonflies in my backyard and so I looked them up too. Did you know they can fly at 100 body-lengths per second? That is some aerodynamic efficiency.
The older I get the more I find pleasure in the little things. Things I used to take for granted like the birds, plants and nature. Today let’s go to that place together; the place where the poet within us lives; the place where we can take a minute to enjoy the little things.
We’ve been told to do it all our lives. Have you heard the expression, “Stop and smell the roses”? Of course you have. Life goes by too fast, we need to stop and savor it once in a while. Depending on your age you might respond to that with a hearty “...well duh!” or “…yea, yea, yea heard it before, plenty of time for that later. Right now I got bigger fish to fry…”.
It took a pandemic for Maryanne Wright to start appreciating the little things.
(Maryann Wright) Because I couldn’t go out. We weren’t allowed out and so I used to take the dog around where I was. That was what we were allowed to do. It really made you appreciate when you went out the smell of the fresh air and looking at the trees and the flowers, that’s what I really appreciated.
Sound familiar? Being locked down also gave us time to think about other things.
(Maryann Wright) I was married for a very long time, thirty-six years so it took a long time and soul searching for me to say that’s it. I’ve had my share and I really do need to move on.
So Maryann Write gathered up her thoughts, her feelings and experiences and wrote a book called A Short Book of Poetry and Thoughts to Share.
(Maryann Wright) It’s about life, a very ordinary life. It’s about nature, it’s about family, it's about loss and it’s about fantasy. We all have those elements in our own loves.
I would argue that there is nothing ordinary about life. We all choose to live our lives differently, some choose more complicated ways of living than others but this book takes a look at the simple things around us - good and bad.
(Maryann Wright) I think it would appeal to adults because it discusses things in a light way. Some of them go a bit deeper.
Like the one called “The Last Goodbye” or “Breaking Away” the one she wrote about her divorce.She also wrote a poem called “What is Love” and you can tell that she knows exactly what it is because no one can write like this if they’ve never experienced the feeling. Let’s see if you agree.
WHAT IS LOVE?
Is it a thing that melts the ice from my eyes when he smiles at me?
Or does it make my bones dissolve, when he walks up close? Is it when he burns my body with his fleeting touch?
Or is it the feeling of extreme pain when I awake alone from a dream of being with him?
Is it a thing that I can place in a jar, to preserve it, to spoon some on my bread when hungry?
Can it be in the song that whispers to me in the light of dawn?
What is love?
(Maryann Wright) Poetry to me is music. I feel the music when I write it and when I read other peoples poems I feel their music as well.
A good book of poems is like a song.
(Maryann Wright) It’s also like taking a bubble bath. All you can see is the froth on the top of the bubbles on the bath but underneath there’s all the good oils if you like…
Yea, it’s kind of like that. It’s literature that paints a picture. It stimulates thought, stirs up some old feelings or sings you a song.
Maryann lives in New Zealand - the home of Middle Earth so it’s no...
At the risk of getting ahead of ourselves, in this podcast we will discuss whether the anticipated Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health signals that the Court may also overturn the cases of Obergefell (which legalized same-sex marriage nationally) and Lawrence (striking down state anti-sodomy laws). The short answer is that I don’t think so. But we will discuss why this is a very good question.
In my opinion, the Supreme Court made serious mistakes in both its Lawrence and Obergefell rulings (2003 and 2015). In both Lawrence and Obergefell, the Court basically repudiated its long-standing rules for overturning a prior case, which basically discarded stare decisis and replaced it with the current political opinion of a majority of the Court. Also, in both cases the Court discarded its prior rules for recognizing “unenumerated” rights by dispensing with the requirement that any such right must be a fundamental right deeply rooted in the nation’s history and tradition. These mistakes by the Supreme Court are of the same type that is apparently leading the Court in Dobbs to overturn Roe v. Wade, so there is reason to believe that both Lawrence and Obergefell are now in jeopardy.
But there are two reasons why I don’t expect these cases to be reversed. First, in Justice Alito’s draft opinion in Dobbs he makes it clear that Dobbs is not intended to be a basis to reverse other cases, and he points out that no other case but Roe involves the competing right of a human being’s right to continue living. Second, the 2020 case of Bostock v. Clayton County shows that two of the conservative Justices (Roberts and Gorsuch) departed with the other conservative Justices in a rationale to protect gay and transgender rights.
Constitutional scholars will appreciate the discussion in this podcast.

Are you experiencing something in your life that annoys you, frustrates you or makes you angry? I think everyone reading this will probably say yes. When we are in those situations, especially in the moment, it can feel like something is being "done" to us and that we are justified in the emotion we are feeling. And we may very well be, but does being in that justification or falling into victim mode, actually solve the problem?
For me it didn't and in this episode I want to share an example with you from my own life of how I dealt with it and the realizations I came too. One of the big things I found when I was exploring this was that staying in that justification kept me stuck. Instead, what I learned was how I can do something different with my mind to allow me to change anything about my internal experience and external reality. And if I did it, you can too!
The time to do something about your annoyance/frustration/anger (or other emotion) is not in the moment you are feeling the feeling. Having a plan of action needs to be thought about and created when you are in a more neutral state. Right now, no matter where you are in life, there are a million ways to get what you want. You may not believe me but it's true. In this episode, I'm going to explain to you how it works and how you can apply it to your own life. Don't miss it!

As I reflect on my life, career, and business, my Italian upbringing definitely influenced how I have (and I guess still do) approach my professional journey.
For me, the concept of hard work was at the core. In the past decade, I have realized that hard work alone doesn’t guarantee a positive outcome. In fact, I feel like the more I pushed forward with determination and effort, when things weren’t going as planned (COVID) sometimes made the bad situation even worse.
I know and choose to keep learning and growing and am still figuring out how to use the Universal laws, quantum physics, and energy, not necessarily action and hard work to manifest the things I desire.

Welcome to “Healing From Within” with your host Sheryl Glick a Reiki Master Teacher energy practitioner, medium, and author of her newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening sharing messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul essence. Today Sheryl is delighted to welcome Judge James W. Tamm, author of Radical Collaboration which provides tools to increase your ability to work successfully with others and get the results desired.As listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect from Sheryl and her empowered and knowledgeable experts in their fields who share intimate and personal observations and evaluations as a means to improve the human condition and life personally as well as collectively, reaching for a higher level of awareness and higher consciousness as we explore the many aspects of thought and creation that influence life decisions. Each show helps us self-investigate, leading us to recognize we are more than physical beings and our energetic presence when addressed helps us know life in its infinite possibilities.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Judge Jim Tamm, author of Radical Collaboration an expert on dispute resolution and building collaborative relationships, mediated more than 1,000 employment disputes during his 25 years as a senior administrative law judge for the state of California. James is currently managing director of the international consulting firm Business Consultants Network, Inc. We will discuss how to figure out what your own defenses are and why you have them and then learn how to deal with defenses other people have. With an increased sense of safety, openness and authentic interactions become a pathway to improved relationships and greater happiness overall.When Judge Tamm is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place event that may have signaled to him or others the interests work and lifestyle he might pursue as an adult Jim tells us he wanted to be a pilot a fireman and a lawyer and Sheryl laughs and says like a Vitruvian man you have lived all your soul dreams.Judge Tamm tells us why he decided to write Radical Collaboration and how personal challenges or experiences played a role. He gives us a definition of what Radical Collaboration is. Radical is from the root word “fundamental,” favoring basic change as in the social structure. Collaboration means to work or act jointly, to labor together.Since Radical Collaboration offers practical methods to improve your skills for building collaborative relationships and is well researched and has documented dramatic positive results, many businesses and corporations operating in increasingly complex global markets, it is necessary to bring consultants in to teach these methods.Studies have determined that almost one hundred organizations reduced their conflict by an average of 67 percent over a 3-5 year period.The ten most troubled organizations at the start of the project reduced their conflict by an average rate of 85 percent after three years.Over a six-year period, individuals from nine countries reported they reduced their own defensiveness in conflicts by half and were 45 percent more effective at getting interest met in conflicts using the skills in Radical CollaborationParticipants also reported significant gains in their ability to build and maintain climates of trust.Thirty years ago we coined the terms Red Zone and Green Zone showing between a highly conflicted adversarial culture (Red Zone) and Green Zone (a more collaborative culture) to denote the two ends of the spectrum in all human communicative experiences. In the second edition of the book we added something that we call the Pink Zone. It’s a more conflict-avoidant, passive-aggressive organizational culture that we believe has become the predominant culture within our client base today and...

The History of the Progressive Movement
In the United States
And how Liberalism
Has Created a Mediocre Society
Ralph Saucier was born in 1943 a time when the world was in the grip of WW2 and the Korean War, it was a time he best describes as a time of simply surviving. Fort Fairfield, a small community town in Aroostook County, eastern Maine in the United States close to the Canadian border was the place he grew up along with six other siblings to keep him in check. Being the middle child, he quickly realised he had to adapt, co-exist with others to sustain himself. Those valuable lessons of his childhood stood him in good faith right to this very day. His parents were hard working folk, they had to be raising a family of seven in the fifties and sixties, there were no luxuries to speak of life was routine and mundane back then. Ralph found school challenging as he battled with a stammer, coming to terms with his speech impediment was difficult for him at times for not having the ability to communicate with those around him in a fluent manner had a profound effect on him, and at times isolated within himself others saw him as a loner. However, despite this set back which he overcame with true determination Ralph has flourished as well as prospered to be the successful man he is today. Here's a look our chat on video:

It’s fair enough to say Ralph has led a varied life since he graduated from High School in 1961, he joined the army, he’s undertaken numerous degrees from Industrial Technology to Behavioural Science, he’s worked in the field of Engineering, into management of assorted areas to eventually running his own vending machine business employing more than forty people. Over the years Ralph has conquered his speech impediment to the extent public speaking is no longer a fear for him but a joy, something he relishes with gusto.
Having chatted to Ralph I get the impression he overcompensated his speech difficulties with reading and writing, he confesses to being a voracious reader and when you add in his other great passion in life Politics, you start to see the creative signs behind this book. His parents were die-hard democrats and in his earlier days he was as well, but as his life progressed his political philosophy shifted towards the republican camp where it has remained ever since. Ralph would probably see himself as a fervent republican, but he doesn’t always agree with the party line views even when out canvassing for republican candidates in both local and national standings.
The book neatly brings together the three great preoccupations in Ralph’s life, reading, writing and politics. The book has thirteen chapters and each chapter touches on individual US presidents from Theodore Roosevelt the New Nationalism to the present US president Joe Biden- Where are we going. The Presidents he talks about with their political agendas he sees as the Presidents who added the most to the progressive movement that brought about the most profound changes to liberalism in the US. The attributes and falls of the Presidents he chose are fascinating to read and when you read the book like I have you might be left feeling Ralph has a reasonable affinity to some of the policies Donald Trump instigated. In the book there are presidents from both divides of America’s political landscape. You might well ask does Ralph feel his chosen presidents have done sufficient to warrant a gold star for bringing about positive and effective changes to America’s society and standing in the world? I get the impression they’ve done a mediocre job hence the use of the word’ Mediocre’ in the title and when you look up the meaning of mediocre it reflects to moderate to inferior in quality. So, is American society broken? Or where is it going?
This book of Ralph E Saucer’s was for me a phenomenal read to which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Summary: It’s 313 A.D. and Rome is under attack. Can Beat and his Dog Leon save Rome? This episode is based on the book Leon the Warrior Dog by CY Sansum.
Transcript
Today’s show is about a giant dog. Nope, not Marmaduke or Clifford. He’s not THAT big. No, this is a fictitious dog but not a cartoon one. He is very realistic and his name is Leon. He is an Antolian German Shepherd dog that weighs in at around 150lbs. He stands about three feet tall, he’s stronger than a lion and he has a heart of Gold. Leon lives in an area that will one day be called Switzerland with his owner and best friend Beat. Beat is a Shepherd and they both live on the pages of a book written by CY Sansum called Leon the Warrior Dog.
(CY Sansum) The Anatolian German Shepherd dog is a unique breed. They’re very fast, very strong and they’re very intelligent. A shepherd, in Turkey where they come from, can leave the dog with his flock of sheep and go home to bed, The dog, the Antolian German Shepherd dog can protect that flock all the time. he knows when to call the sheep in, when to move them, when to fight the wolves, it’s a unique breed.
The story takes place in 313 A.D. A time when there were plenty of shepherds. Emperor Constantine ruled Rome and recently made Christianity the religion of the Roman Empire. Beat is made into a Centurion. He is put in charge of eighty soldiers and sent on a secret mission. There is a tribe in Germania who are murdering Christians. Not just murdering them they are Pagans conducting human sacrifices. So Beat with Leon on his side and their army are set to march off and restore Christianity to the region.
(CY Sansum) If you read in the book at the beginning Beat says, “You can’t make someone become part of a religion…it’s their choice” and it’s a journey, although its a journey with the army it’s also a journey with his faith it will grow as he makes the journey.
Are you following all this? There’s a lot going on here so let me just do a quick recap. We have a boy named Beat, his dog Leon and the Emperor Constantine living way back when the idea of religion was very new to many people. This book takes you on a journey of faith and friendship between two best friends — a boy and his dog as they set off to save Rome.
(CY Sansum) Christian - I’m a Christian and when you go through the book you’ll see bits of where Beat, the hero who openly says, “I’m not a Christian. I don’t believe in any God. I believe in what I can see. The mountains, the sea, the sky. That's what I believe, what I can see. You can’t make anybody become a member of a religion. That's what he says clearly at the beginning but as he goes through his journey he sees God working in his life.
So it’s an interesting story, obviously it’s fiction but it has some very real facts and it’s set in a real time and place. Leon the Warrior dog is about a lot more than just a dog. If you like historical fiction with a religious undercurrent and you enjoy the action and adventure genre then I think you’ll enjoy this one.
(CY Sansum) And this story goes on for three books.
Bonus!
So as the story advances Cy says he brings in more romance. I thought that was interesting. Something to look forward to but for now take a look at Book 1 of Leon the Warrior Dog by CY Sansum available now online at Walmart.com and BarnesandNoble.com. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Henrietta Rose is a woman felled by drink for most of her life, and now sober if slowed by some delayed effects of her habit. She is a naïve painter, a raconteur, and sought-after speaker at AA meetings, and a good Samaritan to some colorful young drunks.

Her losses haunt her, but sobriety tickles her too; she screws up her courage to give a series of dinner parties to reacquaint herself with her brother and grandson, and gives one last grand party for them and all her new friends.

Invicti Solis addresses the most important questions that perplex postmodern humanity and civilization-and in so doing points the way toward the authentic destiny of both.
· How can we discover the true heart's desire in the thicket of conflicting desires that bid for our attention?
· How can we discover absolute or objective truth in an age that offers only relative, subjective perspectives?
· How can we discover a faith that transcends all possibility of doubt in a culture that portrays faith as belief vulnerable to doubt?
· How can we discover our true identity in an age and a culture that only reinforces the false?
· How can we discover the mutually supportive development of the human being and an increasingly global civilization in an age that no longer recognizes the necessity of this mutuality?
· How can we discover the ruling faculty in human nature in an age that has dethroned reason and offers no viable alternative?
Discover your true heart's desire, objective truth, authentic faith, your real identity, and the ruling faculty that makes these discoveries possible. Discover the birth and rise of the unconquerable sun.

Patti Henry is a psychotherapist who has been in private practice for more than 30 years. Her psychotherapy practice is in Houston, Texas.
Her most recent book, which is called Two Lifetimes: From Fear to Love, is precisely what Roberta feels that many people need as we try to get past the damage that childhood so often inflicts on us, and we get about the real work that we came to earth to do, which is to raise our vibrations from fear toward love.
This book is about harnessing your fear to be able to go from Lifetime One, which is living in fear, to Lifetime Two, which is living in love. It chronicles how to move from being an emotionally immature child toward becoming an emotionally mature, empowered adult. Patti’s website is www.patti-henry.com.
Nothing thrives on neglect and your marriage is no different. But it’s easy to let things go because “it’s not that bad” or other things take priority—your kids, job, social media. If you have lost touch with each other, being stuck together without your usual outlets may feel like torture. But it doesn’t have to. Couples Coach and Founder of Embodied Breath

Grab a cup of coffee and join Elizabeth, a Young Crone, and Dave, a Modern Sage, two Witches who been sharing for many years as they discuss The Path, a modern Tradition of Witchcraft, and various other Witchy and life topics from a slightly more mature perspective. Su has moved on, but her spirit lives on in our minds and hearts. You can enjoy the conversations, whether you have been practicing for a while or if you are just Witch curious. Some Witches use the craft simply for magick and spellwork, but for them it has grown to be a religion where they work to connect with the Divine of the Universe.Today we begin featuring some different topics about our beliefs starting with the concept of Immanent & Transcendent Divine. The featured Witchstone Card is the first of the four Cross Quarters which is Candlemas. Finally, this week’s Witchy Tip focuses on the value of repetition in ritual.
Have you ever worked on a challenging project, and you found out that working through the project, you discovered you learned new skills?
During this podcast, I guide you to be ok and comfortable with receiving affirmations. Join me as I talk about how affirmations produce positive elements that boost self-esteem. Bragging, on the other hand, is seen as a negative trait. Affirmations build positive brain responses in the spirit of positivity and recognition for hard work, congratulations to all students for growing in knowledge and skills.
Also! Big congratulations to parents, guardians, and teachers for your hard work in helping your children progress to the next level. And to all of my Transition Awareness Breathing elementary students that I coach every week, thank you for your significant participation in learning mindfulness, awareness, and relaxation, breathing. Your hard work contributed to designing an awesome TAB class t-shirt (as seen as the picture for this podcast).

After COVID I thought I had to reinvent my entire business and how I approached business. It was all about learning and using technology to stay connected with my clients as well as continuing to build my community and connections.
Two years later I have realized that pre or post-pandemic, building real business relationships has not changed. Yes, we need technology, and we need to continue to build our skills by connecting deeply with new prospects and clients using technology as a tool.
Whether it’s Zoom, LinkedIn, Instagram, or another platform, today’s technology ensures we’re always connected. And yet sometimes I can feel more alone than ever.
Have we lost the art of developing genuine kinships with each other?

Guest Bio: Born and raised in Lebanon, Tennessee, Jerry G. Davis began writing songs in his early 20s and last year he released his new single, Me and Harley D performed by Michael Lusk. Davis first burst onto the country music scene in 1982, co-writing The Trouble with Hearts with the legendary Larry Kingston.

Check Out These Highlights:
I love this quote as it allowed me the opportunity to reflect on my career and look at my personal evolution of becoming more emotional intelligence and the impact it has had y my life and career. I have come to realize that this was a skill I had to learn and develop over time and was not necessarily natural for me.
So, what were some of the big lessons I learned?
Things like, how to become more empathetic by connecting deeply with my clients, then deeply with my sales teams, deeply with my husband and kids, and now deeply with my clients. As I look back, I personally understand the importance and beauty of being an Emotional Intelligent leader in our world. We have multiple roles in life and Emotional Intelligent (EI) helps with everything we do and with every person we engage with.
What’s the impact?
Great and deeper connections with everyone in my life both personally and professionally. Those relationships matter and for me are the cornerstone of my business and how I engage with my clients!

The nation has been anxiously awaiting the Supreme Court ruling in the Mississippi abortion case, Dodd v. Jackson Woman’s Health. But on May 2, 2022, a February draft of a potential Supreme Court decision in the Dodd case was leaked to the press. The draft opinion by Justice Alito showed that the Court was overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion case. A discussion of this leak and of the anticipated reversal of Roe dominated the media for the next three days. This has activated liberals and has given them new energy and an issue that they hope will help them overcome the problems that Joe Biden has brought to the Democrats.
The draft opinion would return to the States the jurisdiction to prohibit and regulate abortion. In this podcast we will discuss how this would affect a woman’s right to privacy; how it could affect other rights, such as same-sex marriage; and how this could affect the 2022 congressional elections.
While the Dodd case would return to the states the control over abortion, the abortion issue will continue to be as divisive as ever. Debate about the Roe v. Wade case will continue to be as important as ever, and the Dodd case is destined to be one of the most important Supreme Court cases in the last 50 years.
This podcast and my book The Fetal Right to Life Argument will help people better understand the specific problems with Roe and how it looks like the Supreme Court will correct them in Dodd.

The other day someone mentioned something to me about a current event, expecting me to be mad, and I just wasn't. Surprised by this, the person then asked me "Well doesn’t this make you mad"? I thought about it for a minute and I said "No, it actually doesn’t because I’ve just stopped caring about the current events that I have no control over and that are hyped up by corporate media with the intention of keeping me in fear or rage."
I thought about that afterwards and wondered: when did I stop caring? I don’t really remember when the change occured, it just happened. I can’t pinpoint the day or the time that I stopped caring. I just stopped. This led me to consider how different I am as a person as a result of this change, of not caring about whatever it is I’m "supposed" to care about.
This is an interesting observation about life because it got me thinking about how I’ve changed in other ways and wondering when did those changes occur as well? Again, I couldn't pinpoint it to a day or time, but change had definitely happened.
There is definitely change that happens to us that is abrupt such as losing a job, a break up or a death. But there is also A LOT of change that happens that isn’t abrupt and as you are going through it, it doesn’t even feel like change. It is so subtle and so slow, it almost seems like nothing is happening until you look back and you can see how different you are, know where you came from and recognize that change occurred.
The interesting thing about change is when it happens, and we haven’t recognized it, things can feel prickly or irritating or annoying and we may not know why. Maybe we can’t be in certain situations we once were or we can’t be around the same people anymore but we don’t know why. If you are finding this happening to you, one place to look is within and see if something has changed for you that maybe you haven’t noticed.
This week I share my thoughts on change that is so subtle, we don’t even notice it, how to recognize it in your life and and why you should look back at this and protect the change that benefits you at all costs!

We all know life very often doesn’t turn out as you originally hoped for and that relationships can stray as well as bloom. You might be forgiven for thinking why I have digressed to talk about relationships, have I become an agony aunt? Well, the answer to that is no, but there is some bearing to relationships souring as to why Paola has written this book. The book encompasses issues of domestic violence, elaborate bullying both non-physical more mental all done through inappropriate choice of words, words spoken derogatively to undermine, belittle, to such an extent the person on the receiving end feels utterly valueless, demeaned, resulting in dreams shattered, families ripped apart, and possibly wrong life options taken all due to ill-judged words that over a long period of endurance have devastating effects on the recipient. Words like, unattractive, unintelligent, unwanted, stupid and irrelevant. Why someone chooses to denigrate another, through misplaced adopted words is sad as well as harmful, and I think most of us can think back to our time in school when someone said something hurtful, whether it was said innocently or with malice intent.
Paola herself has experienced a lot of what I have just said and strongly believes that to address this area we need to start by educating our children to think about the choice ofwords they say to each other which she hopes will continue into their adulthood and the relationships they enter. So, Paola in collusion with her son Oscar’s illustrations who at the time was thirteen has written this short but simple book aimed at nine to twelve-year-olds to make them think about the words they choose to say to their friends and what affect those words have on their friends. So, ’Words Choose Wisely.’ The book is written in English, Spanish and French so large sways of the world’s youth can read the book and think about the illustrations.
The book can be obtained from the Amazon link below or alternatively from her publishers www.balboapress.com.au search bookstore Paola Iglesias. The book is available in Softcover as well as Ebook.
Enjoy this simple but effective book, all about the choice of words we use to talk to each other, be as children who the booked is directed at or as so-called adults. Let’s remember words can be amazing but equally they can be harmful when taken out of context.
Thank you, Paula, Oscar and Emmeline, for this wonderful book.

Based on the book "Kings & Queens In Slavery" by Polina Mladenova
I have an epiphany for you. Are you ready? There is nothing wrong with the way you look. Pretty much everything about you is perfect. That’s all there is to it. Just the way you are, created in the image of God you are perfect. Don’t change a thing. Now, do you believe me? That is the real key. Because deep down we know better - or at least we think we do. We are flawed human beings.
Polina Mladenova - You need to see yourself as the way God sees you. Not the way you see yourself. We always try to find some defects. My skin, my hair, I’m too fat. I’m too skinny. I don’t like my curves. I don’t have a bum, all this stuff. It’s putting you down. Even if your butt is perfect you see it’s not perfect.
It’s a tough image to live up to….
That is Polina Mladenova. She ’s spent many years in the fashion and beauty industries so that should help give you some perspective. If there’s one industry that strives for perfection above all else it has to be the beauty industry. In addition to being an entrepreneur and many other things Polina is a Bulgarian couturier designer. She has launched a number of Luxury products including Sunglasses , Handbags, Jewelry and clothing. She also has a line of cosmetic health products.
Polina Mladenova - I've been into the fashion industry for more that two decades so you try to put your perfect image there. We're not perfect. We’re not gonna be perfect. The only perfect is God period.
She’s also an author and she’s just written a book called Kings & Queens in Slavery and the title needs some explanation
Polina Mladenova - We don’t have to try to compare ourselves to each other as well, we are so uniquely made as well. That is where is coming Kings and Queens. And Slavery, some are living in Slavery some are living the abundant life it’s our choice.
According to Polina, all we need to succeed inline is to adopt a Kingdom mindset.
Polina Mladenova - Kingdom, it’s a Country. When you’re born again, when you get baptized you are born from another country which is the Kingdom of God. It’s a country. The Kingdom is a country.
And, just like all countries, this one has laws, principles and a constitution. In her book she explains how the bible is the constitution and the laws are things like sowing and reaping, loving one another. There are also benefits to living in this country but many of us don’t understand or take advantage of these benefits. Like all countries there are problems but we have the power to fix them if we adopt a Kingdom mentality and start living like Kings and Queens.
Polina Mladenova - We can create the life we want. The destiny we want, through the power of our words. This is what Kings and Queens do. Let’s say they want to change something in their territory so what do they do? They say I the king, I the queen, da, da, da, da da. I say da, da, da, da, and they write a decree. So their decrees become a law and exactly that’s how it is in the Kingdom. This is very key because otherwise you don’t know your power. You don’t know who you are and that is very, very powerful.
It’s an interesting concept. Polina lives in the UK so you can see where her monarchy influences come from and she says, just like the Royal family, we are all born Kings and Queens with the ability to manifest all the things we want as long as we have a kingdom mindset and abide by the law of the land.
Polina Mladenova - Our job is just to believe. Do you believe it?
That is the question isn’t it.
Here on Newsgram we are always bringing you interesting people living their lives in interesting ways. I hope you found Polina as intriguing as I did. She has developed an interesting way of looking at scripture.
Polina Mladenova - The whole bible is a business plan. If you have not been seeing it that way then I have no idea what you’ve been reading.
You see what I mean.
Cyril Sansum
Leon the Warrior Dog
Cyril Sansum is fastidious in his approach to writing, something he has developed over the last few years. Writing is his new passion, the driving force behind his days. When you look at his life you can’t but think, was writing a hidden macromolecule that lay quietly secreted on a forgotten DNA strand that only activated recently by an unexplained force of nature.
You might forgive me for thinking the above, but when you look back at Cyril’s life, you’ll discover he was a butcher, a chef, a youth worker as well as fulfilling other jobs. No hint of creative writing until now, so where has this magical macromolecule been lurking all this time. Maybe it’s his love of storytelling along with his interest in reading historical facts especially history relating to past military events that was the trigger point to writing this book, for when you look closely at it you can clearly see strong aspects of ancient Roman military traits coursing through the pages.
https://youtu.be/Lc1BRg1hvmM
CY as Cyril likes to be known as lives in the Windsor area of The UK and has been married to his wife Diane for close to fifty-eight years. He has three sons Nick, Dan and David, ten grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.
The story is built around the relationship between Beat the main Protagonist and Leon his powerful Anatolian shepherd dog around the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine 313 AD.
C Y sets the original scene in Arialbinnum a small farming village in Switzerland, to give you a geographical sense of the location in today’s world you are looking around the area of Basle. Beat is a young Shepherd man from the Helvetti people. The Helvetti anglicized as Helvetians were a Celtic tribe or tribal confederation who in Roman times occupied the central Swiss plateau. To the north where the Alemanni tribe and the Goths who played a major role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the emergence of medieval Europe. To the south across the Gotthard Pass was Rome and the Roman Empire who by now under Constantine’s decree adopted Christianity something the Goths refuted. Beat is enticed into the Roman Army and quickly escalates up the promotion scales as he successfully overcomes all that he encounters from the warring tribes opposed to Rome’s ways and rules particularly around Christianity. Leon his faithful Turkish Anatolian shepherd dog who acts as his bodyguard is there to protect him. Along the way Beat meets Princess Sky, Tia and Lia. These three women have a profound effect on him and towards the end a little romance starts to emerge.
With reference to history in particular military history interwoven with a good adventure storyline and a smattering of romance the book Leon the Warrior Dog really does come to life, to make an enjoyable read.

Kings & Queens in Slavery
Polina Mladenova
Polina Mladenova lives in London in the UK with her three children. She hasn’t always lived in London for in fact she was born in Bulgaria and now identifies as being British/Bulgarian. Polina as well as being a mother and an author is an ambitious business entrepreneur, founding the Khlovenova Beauty and Couture House, The Abundant Life Foundation Ministry, she’s also responsible for the Kings & Queens Living the Abundant Life TV show. Further to these activities Polina teaches business strategies, modules, and Kingdom Mindset concepts for budding entrepreneurs all based on biblical adaptations that allow prosperous and fruitful business adventures to thrive with God’s original plan at the heart of everything. To understand her philosophy to life and more about her business adventures including her book you can head to a couple of websites www.PolinaMladenova.com/About and www.KingdoMastermind.com
https://youtu.be/amI6YyJrPXE
This book isn’t a book for you to sit comfortably curled up on a settee or to be taken as a bit of light bedtime reading, it’s a book that will prick your conscience, it’s a book that will open your mind, and you’ll need to keep an open mind as parts of it for me were quite contentious and possibly controversial. The book’s intention and that of Polina’s as far as I can see is to get you to see life from a different angle, a life that has more of God’s original plan at its core a so-called Kingdom Mindset which I understand to mean as having a mind rational of accepting that God has the right to do with us as he pleases and our role is to use the abilities he gave us to advance the Gospel preachings and his Kingdom through our everyday transactions.
Polina clearly believes that God has given her a promise, a blessing in life, a plan if you want to view it that way and that both she and God will fulfil each other’s obligations. The book talks about blessings, promises, fruitfulness, reaping and sowing with lots of interesting cross-references to biblical texts in support of this amazing ideological thinking put forward here. For me what’s equally as interesting is the choice of modern-day bible versions Polina has chosen to support her work with here as opposed to the more traditional bible interpretations. I was also intrigued to see that at the end of each chapter Polina links you one of her social platforms www.linktr.ee/TheAundantLife.Ac that reveals more about her works, ideology and of course the ebook version. Very clever.
Overall, I found the book interesting, eye-opening but it’s certainly not a bedtime story read and if my judgement proves me right, I will say Polina never intentionally wrote the book to be a light read as she has some strong messages to convey to her readers. Those of a non-belief might find this book a real challenge, but those that do have a faith following you just might be interested to give this book ago. So, give it ago.
You can get the book by looking on one of Polina’s many social platforms, the links are above. Plus www.authorhouse.com bookstore search Polina Mladenova, or simply click the Amazon link below.
Thank you Polina Mladenova for an interesting and eye-opening book that for most of us views life from a different angle.

Based on the book "Under the Fig Tree: Time to go. One Last Coffee" by Rita Wright
When someone you know commits suicide it can affect you in so many ways. We are all very different but at the very least there are powerful feelings of grief. There is anger — How could you do this to me? There is guilt — I should have seen the signs, should have been about to do something and there is confusion.
When it’s your child the effects are even more devastating. If you don’t have a mental breakdown you still have to work through the depression and the anxiety and the odds of a marriage lasting when a suicide occurs are slim. So why am I telling you all this? There’s a pretty chance you know someone affected by suicide or considering suicide and you might be wondering how you can reach out and help them.
Today I’d like to introduce you to Rita Wright. Her daughter Anna struggled with dark feelings until they got the best of her. She has written a book about her called Under the Fig Tree: Time to go…One Last Coffee. She says writing the book was therapeutic.
Rita Wright - I just couldn’t come to terms with her not physically being around me or laughing or crying or us holding hands or doing something and so me sitting down and writing her book was literally vomiting out of me onto the pages.
Her book tells the story of Anna’s life and I think it’s important here to get a snapshot of who she was. Not only to better understand Anna but there are common similarities here.
Rita Wright - Anna was born, I believe, quite melancholy. Out of my three children she was the only one that wanted my skin all the time and she was only happy when she was at home with her family.
Anna was a gifted artist. You can see her work on the cover of the book and the gallery inside.
Rita Wright - She drew a picture of a lady holding a handbag, and she was preschool, and the social worker said I’ve never seen a child draw like this with this detail. And you’ll see in the book later on when you look in the gallery you’ll see how detailed her work was. She was very socially anxious, couldn’t bear noise, and I believe there was something in her DNA that made that happen.
She was such a loving, caring soul and it seemed as though her empathy was something she really struggled with. When you care so deeply about the state of the world or things happening outside your control that it affects your diet it’s a definite cause for concern. In fact, learning how to express dark and suicidal thoughts before we reach crisis the point is one of the central messages in the book. Rita talks about the time Anna was sent to Delhi to produce a series of designs.
Rita Wright - When she saw the children in the sweatshops she couldn’t bear it. She used to stand on the balcony outside the office, which were beautiful that she was working in and she saw the children rubbing their eyes, and they were having to sew sequins on for hours and hours you know, just child slave labor, and she stopped eating. She drank the mini bar dry overnight but eventually her weight became too low and she had to come home.
Eventually Anna moved to Paris where she was very happy. As an artist Paris was a wonderful place to meet like-minded people and expand her talents. She made friends. She fell in love and made enough money to live happily. All that ended in 2015 when a series of terrorist attacks took place in Paris killing 130 people and injuring 350. Anna wasn’t injured by the gunmen, but it instilled some real fear and feelings of confusion about where she belonged. It drew her right back into depression and led to her untimely death.
Anna is rest now in Montmartre cemetery in Paris where she can hear the bells of St. Jean's Church
Rita Wright - When Anna moved to Paris she was reeling from the death of my father, her grand dad and she’d often sit in the cemetery and draw, paint write or just wit with a coffee so that’s the Under the Fig Tree where I d...
I hear it all the time, “It’s my job to make my partner happy”. Further discussion reveals that it’s actually not working. That’s because it can’t. Happiness is always an inside job. But there are things you can do to make you happier and, as a result, your marriage will be too.
Stuart Motola, relationship coach, speaker and the author of Fixing You is Killing Me: A Conscious Roadmap to Knowing When to Save and When to Leave Your Relationship, reveals what he has learned about how to make this happen.

As I look back over my corporate career, hiring the right people was a necessity for the success of the sales division I managed. Even though I have my own business now, partnering with other business owners where we can partner to help each other’s business grow is the exact same principle I used in creating thriving working partnerships during my corporate career.
So think about the importance of finding, hiring, and partnering with the right people for business success?

This episode is based on the book The Bears of the Evergreen Forest: Basil and Brenda Go for a Stroll by Hazel Thompson
Author Hazel Thompson talks about creating her book and her characters, Basil and Brenda. One day these two sibling Bears decide to go for a walk. They stroll through the forest, meet some friends and have a laugh and a little picnic.
Transcript
When it’s story time do you like to read from a chapter book or from a picture book. If you like picture books then I have one that I think you’ll enjoy. It’s called The Bears of the Evergreen Forest: Basil and Brenda Go for a Stroll.
When I heard the name Basil I thought for sure that this evergreen forest was probably located in the UK.
Hazel Thompson (Nova Scotia) I went to visit some friends in Nova Scotia and they were taking me around looking at places and we went fro a walk through some wooded areas and suddenly the trees parted and there was this lovely lake and when I go back to their house I just sort of picked up my notebook and started writing.
That was the author, Hazel Thompson and it seems I was wrong about that. The inspiration for this story is Canadian. Which makes more sense because I don’t think there are any bears left in England. No matter, the location of the forest has nothing to do with the story. It’s about Basil and Brenda and their adventure together. The scene that Hazel just described sounds like a beautiful spot for a picnic.
Hazel Thompson (Story) It’s just a little story about two bears, they’re brother and sister, and they have a great idea to just go for a walk so they’re just strolling through the forest and they’re meeting some friends and having a laugh and then at the end they have a little picnic together with their friends. It’s just a little light-hearted story about friendship and brothers and sisters.
And when it comes to children’s stories. isn't that what you want most? Something light- hearted and fun? The world is a difficult enough place without involving the kids in stressful situations. Let’s just go for a walk. Who knows, maybe we’ll meet Pip and Tara - a couple of fun loving mice. Maybe see the wise old Owl hanging out by the post office or if we’re lucky maybe we’ll find a squirrel over by the tea shop…anything is possible when you’re out for a stroll. Perhaps one day we’ll get to enjoy Basil and Brenda as they set out on more adventures.
Hazel Thompson In total I’ve got six of these little stories in a little notebook. When I started to look at this I picked up the notebook and i thought right, which of this do I want? Well let’s start at the beginning. And, I haven’t done anything with the other five and they just sat in that little notebook until I decided what to do with them.
Something to look forward to!
For now, let’s just enjoy these beautifully illustrated characters as they set out on their adventure. The Bears of the Evergreen Forest: Basil and Brenda Go for a Stroll by hazel Thompson. It’s available on her website HazelThompsonAuthor.co.uk and another fun thing about going there is the little bonus she’s added.
Hazel Thompson (Bonus) One of the things I wanted to do in the book was have some activities and one of the things that the children who read the book or look at the book can do is actually color in the picture, the same picture that is on the front of the book, so what I’ve done is I’ve actually uploaded that picture as a PDF document onto the page and you can just download it so if they don’t want to color in the picture that’s in the book they can download another copy and just color to their heart's content really.
You can also get this charming story online at Amazon.com or Barnes and Knoble.com and there are links for you in the shows description and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Morghan King
“Yoga and physical health go beyond our moments on the mat.”
https://youtu.be/95Dbb5YaDHQ
Check Out These Highlights:
As time passes, I hear more and more about the importance of self-care and being present to help with the day-to-day stressors in life.
For me, yoga is a lifeline that helps me quiet my mind, stretch and strengthen my body, and allows me to feel strong and calm. What a great combination for me because I have an active Monkey mind and quieting my mind has not been an easy task, for me, through the years.
I am always excited when I get to share a guest who helps us bring the quote I started with to life. Meaning, that we can bring the yoga mat with us as we live our lives.

This is the story of two bears who meet their friends and have adventures. This book sees the pair walking through a forest, visiting the village and having a picnic. The Bears of the Evergreen Forest is a nostalgic picture book that's focused on sibling companionship.
The book is a perfect bedtime read for a young child with a parent, sibling, or grandparent or for the beginning reader. This is a delightful book with charming illustrations.

Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy practitioner, medium author of A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares a metaphysical view of the duality of energetic and physical life and ways to understand the challenging fast moving changes of present times as we seek to know who we are, balance ourselves and planet to reach an awareness of higher consciousness and eternal soul life. We are not having a political, social, religious or economic problem simply a separation from our spiritual connectedness to Universal life forces. I am most happy to welcome Margaret Thompson author of Finding Color in Darkness a story of the devastating results of her son John Fish’s mental health disorder and the loss of her son by suicide.As listeners of “Healing From Within” are well aware, my guests and I share intimate stories and insights into the deeper part of our remembering that we are spiritual beings having a physical life and are much more than our physical bodies. That awareness allows us to know that we possess wisdom that encourages us to dream, learn and seek joy and happiness, beyond all the challenges a physical world presents to us. Self-investigation and suffering sometimes leads to understanding our emotions and if we have enough time in this life to truly appreciate life no matter what difficulties and sadness we endured.In today’s episode of ‘Healing From Within” Margaret shares a truthful account of how hard it is to live with a child that has a mental challenge. In John’s case Bi-polar disorder and up and down battle with sorrow and pain was a sadness for her and her beloved son. She also shares quite a bit of information on how to help your child and where to go to find professional help because we must ask Spirit and those in our life to assist in dealing with this daunting illness chosen by a soul to help them evolve perhaps at a higher and faster level of ascension.When asking Margaret to think back to a moment of John’s childhood that was most reflective of his sensitivities for I feel the soul comes into this life with a plan and destiny and some have greater challenges than other souls but their challenges lead to the refinement of their soul energy and greater love Margaret tells us of their deep loving connection. Margaret writes, “As a child, John was very attached to me and loved to snuggle and hold my hand. As he grew older, he would often introduce me to new music. I worked in the MTV News department shortly after graduating from college, and at a local radio station as an intern during college, so we shared a passion for music, particularly alternative music. We did art projects together, cooked together, and watched shows and movies together. When John was in middle school, he got me hooked on Grey’s Anatomy and would insist I sit next to him on the couch and watch it with him every Sunday night. We were so close. I would, however, soon lose that deep connection to him.”Margaret tells us something of your family life and how you noticed that John was suffering from Depression. Margaret wrote, “Depression is the invisible illness. I had always believed that happiness was a choice, and that a positive attitude, coupled with a healthy diet, proper exercise, a regular schedule and enough sleep, could cure any emotional pain. Now, however, I replay my son’s words in my head, “You wouldn’t understand.” I didn’t then, but I do now, as I lower my head in shame, for my ignorance of the enormous and unbearable pain John was suffering. I tried to understand, as many parents do, but it seemed such an abstract concept to comprehend. Abstract, until I discovered my son’s lifeless body in a closet, less than an hour after we had returned home from dinner. Now, I know all too well the real pain of emotional agony. The tightness in my chest makes it hard to breathe as I relive these moments while recalling the various events leading up to an...
Following the 2020 Census, the Maryland Legislature proposed and passed a partisan redistricting map that sought to eliminate the one Republican district in the State that has eight congressional districts. Governor Hogan vetoed the map, but the Democrat-controlled Legislature overrode the veto. Delegate Neil Parrott filed a lawsuit in Maryland courts seeking to overturn the redistricting based upon its violating the Maryland Constitution, that required legislative districts to be compact, contiguous, and to give regard to natural boundaries (like bays) and political boundaries (like county lines). In April of 2022, the case was decided in favor of Neil Parrott and the other plaintiffs, with the result that Republicans will now have a fair opportunity to elect Congressmen in two of the eight districts, rather than to have significant Democrat majorities in all eight of the districts.
This podcast will tell the story of the extreme and blatant partisan gerrymandering in Maryland, and how the partisan map was challenged and overturned in the courts. This story is both interesting and important for conservatives throughout America. Democrats currently hold very slim majorities in both the U.S. Senate and the House, and the results in Congressional elections in November will be critical for conservatives to re-take control of the House. Maryland’s redistricting case victory is an important success for conservatives.
This podcast will explain the unique provisions in the Maryland Constitution, and how a Maryland judge called out the blatant partisan gerrymandering as violative of the State Constitution. Maryland has a higher percentage of Democrats than almost any other state, but it is still important for Republicans in Maryland to fight for constitutional and conservative principles. This recent court victory is an example of how a relatively small case in an obscure state can nevertheless make a major contribution to the entire nation, as good and committed citizens speak up for true principles. My guest Neil Parrott will be running for Congress in District 6 (western Maryland), one of the two districts that his court case corrected so that Republicans have a fair opportunity to win.
You will be glad to learn the story of this important court victory for conservative values.
Maryanne Wright
A Short Book of Poetry
and thoughts to share
Maryanne Wright was born in the Ringwood area, south-west Hampshire near Bournemouth in the UK. Her parents were missionaries which meant Maryanne as a child and young person lived in various locations in the world from Ghana to Australia and to New Zealand where she currently resides. Maryanne has lived in New Zealand for close to forty years but during those years she has returned to the UK on several occasions to pursue a career in the financial sector. Maryanne has worked for various banking conglomerates as well as other financial institutions and has even turned her hand to being a software support analyst something she thoroughly enjoyed. Maryanne currently teaches numeracy and literacy to disadvantaged young people who are establishing a career in New Zealand’s defence systems.
https://youtu.be/HbLLXr2UCH0
An interesting fact about Maryanne is that when she was in the Ghanaian Capital Accra she went to the same school as the children of Ghana’s first president, President Kwame Nkrumah who led Ghana to independence from Britain.
Maryanne has two grown up children Nicholas who lives in Auckland and Lauren who resides in Cambridge North Island of New Zealand where Maryanne currently lives.
In the introduction to her book Maryanne states that the poems she has so diligently written are for lovers, dreamers, and those that weep much like herself. The book was written during New Zealand’s Covid lockdown and as for so many it was a testing time for Maryanne. The poems reflect happier times in her life and while she was writing them the poems in themselves acted as a kind of distraction as to what was going on in her own life at that time.
When you look at the book, you’ll see that the poems are grouped under six categories, life, seasons, family, emotions, fantasy, and finally but not least, nature. Each poem is accompanied with a stunning picture which strengthens and emphasises the message the poem conveys. Some of the pictures are ones Maryanne took herself while out walking and are scenes from local beauty spots close-by. If you have ever been to New Zealand like me, you’ll soon realise that natural beauty is in abundance. So, I simply say enjoy the poems and cast your eyes over the imposing pictures. I certainly did.
Another interesting fact about Maryanne is her fascination almost obsession with J R R Tolkien’s books hence the poems of dragons in the fantasy section.
To find out more about Maryanne Wright head to her webpage www.maryannewright.com There you’ll find a link to her book which is available in both paperback and eBook versions.

Based on the book AFM by Joy Ballentine
Welcome to Newsgram
Love is in the air. Can you feel it? Today on Newsgram we are gonna talk about a love story…and it’s a good one. Bridget was supposed to marry Roland but then there’s Axel and I’m getting ahead of myself. These characters live on the pages of Joy Ballentine’s new book AFM and if you’re ready for romance then do this.
I do need to tell you right up front, this is gonna be a lot of fun today. It’s also gonna be a bumpy ride so put on your leather chaps, get the Hog out of the garage and settle in because Joy Ballentine tells it like it is. There is a fair amount of swearing in today's story but nothing you haven’t heard before and it’s all necessary so helmets on as we travel through AFM. What does it mean?
Joy Ballentine - All Fuckin Mine
Did you get that?
Joy Ballentine - All Fuckin Mine
Alrighty, so here we go! Bridget owns a Motorcycle repair shop. She’s engaged to marry Roland. Her head mechanic is Axel and this is their love story.
Joy Ballentine - It takes place now, and it takes place in the south. The man that she was supposed to marry was Roland and she tried to call him Roley but she’s from New York so it came out Rowley. Mama thought that was funny so she calls him Rowley too and you know she eye rolls a lot at Mama. Her wedding day was planned by mama. Her dresses were chosen by mama and her friggin har, my lovin’ Jesus was planned by mama and she makes an agreement with Axel that he is to show up at the church at ten fifteen and he says what are you planning and she says revenge.
So clearly Bridget has decided not to marry Roland.
Joy Ballentine - …an SOB. And, he sold her bike and her car. She was with the SOB for three years. He changed her and made her not what she was and the guys that work for her saw this happening and they joked with her and give a little bit of a hard time but they weren’t mean about it but she’s going it her way and it’s all hers. She got her stuff back and that’s what she wanted.
This is a work of fiction so as you know, we can’t give away all the details because it’s those details that make this such a fun book to read.
AFM features colorful characters and plenty of drama and if you think this is just a story about a woman in a failed relationship getting her stuff back then you are mistaken. It’s not your fault. We’re just getting started here. Let me tell you more about Bridget or Bree as her friends know her. You see Roland called her Bridget and that is part of the problem. Bree and Bridget are totally different personality types.
Joy Ballentine - Axel tells her point blank , “…I want Bree back. Bree’s fun. Bridget has a pole up her ass.”
Can you relate? We’ve all got different aspects to our personality and depending on who we are with — different sides of us can come out. I think you’ll enjoy the characters in this book. Especially Bree and how she comes to grips with who she is. Can a New York bike shop owner blend with Southern high society? Sure sometimes. I like the cultural differences between the families and friends, the different places they go and the ancillary characters they meet.
Joy Ballentine - The way I write, or the way I try to write anyway is that I’m talking to you. These people are having a conversation were listening to their conversation and we too are rolling our eyes scratching our heads goin what the fuck….what the hell happened there, you know.
Oh and the conversations they have. Like I said at the beginning, this is a fun one.
Joy Ballentine - There’s hope and there’s laugh and laughter in this book and there’s fighting in this book and there’s revenge, which I love. It’s all good. It’s all good stuff. You learn about his family and why mom is the way she is and in the crazy amount of pages it’s all explained.
Download a copy of AFM Joy Ballentine and enjoy the ride. It's available now at Amazon,
Based on the book "A Dagger for Catherine Douglas" by Euan Macpherson.
Have you ever heard the expression “Katie bar the Door”? It’s one of those old sayings that means basically get ready, there is trouble on the way. I love old sayings and I like to trace their origins. Most of the time there is very little proof as to where they came from but with this one it’s origin seems to date way back to 1437 when Catherine Douglas found herself in the middle of a plot to assassinate James the First, King of Scotland.
According to legend a group of men came to the door searching for the King because they wanted him dead. Catherine Douglas, who later became known as Kate Barlass, saw that the large deadbolt that held the door closed had been removed so she sprung into action and used her arm as a deadbolt.
I know what you’re thinking — sounds like a great way to get your arm broken. That’s exactly what happened. When she put her arm into the staples to bar the door they forced it open, breaking her arm and ultimately discovering and killing the King.
So “Katie bar the Door” as we turn back the clock to 1437 and launch this historical edition of Newsgram on Webtalkradio.com. Today we are exploring the book A Dagger for Catherine Douglas by Euan Macpherson and if there was ever anyone who needed a dagger it was Katie Barlass.
Euan Macpherson - To Me it’s an example of traditional female courage. You make sacrifices for other people, that’s normally what the woman does so other people get to be rich and famous or whatever but it’s the woman who makes the sacrifices. Here’s Catherine just doing what might come quite naturally to women, she sacrifices herself to save the king except of course she doesn’t save the king.
True, she wasn’t able to save the king but that doesn’t make her any less fascinating and it’s a great premise for his book which is ultimately about a love affair between a young couple and the sacrifices they make for their love. The book centers around Catherine and a fictional character named Sean.
Euan Macpherson - So you have this love story running between the main character, his name is Sean Campbell and so you have this love story running between Sean Campbell and Catherine Douglas. You know a lot of people who read this story will not know the history and some people will know the history so if you know the history you know the ending, certainly with reaction to Catherine and the King. I brought this other character in. This is where I bring a bit of fiction into a factual tale. So Sean Campbell and Catherine Douglas the story is really about their relationship and the choices they have to make and the find themself in this situation. I’m not sure how much to say here because it is a novel and you don’t want to give away too much.
What we can tell you is Sean Campbell has a reputation for being a cut-throat mercenary type. A bad-boy if you will and Catherine is immediately attracted to him. Another thing I can tell you, if you’re Catherine and you live in 1437 you quickly realize that it’s not just Kings that can get sacrificed and looking over your shoulder is a way of life because in this world no one has friends.
This book features lots of fun interaction between characters. There is plenty of romance. Is there sex? Maybe. There is a lot of action and I’ll read you the start of the book in a second. First I have to prepare you for what is about to happen…remember it’s historical fiction and no actual horses were injured during the making of this book.
(EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK)
This is a story of female courage and sacrifice. It’s about a woman who couldn’t fight like a man and didn’t try to. It’s reminiscent of women in the 14th century.
Euan Macpherson - Well, obviously you hope it works as an adventure story and as a love story, obviously hope that. I think in a lot of ways this is a book for women. I'm saying this as a man and I’m not trying to be patronizing here ...
The book is set in the 3rd century A D. Constantine is the emperor, and has declared the Roman Empire, to be a Christian Empire.
A shepherd named Beat and his dog, Leon, live in a small village in the Swiss Alps. As fate would have it, both Beat and Leon join the Roman Army and end up defending Rome against the Goths.
There might have been some divine intervention in the life of the young shepherd. He has some narrow escapes, and has inexplicable good luck on the battlefield.
This story may be read as an adventure story, but it is a spiritual parable as well, at least for more mature readers. All this is in the background of the real fun: The Tale of Leon the Warrior dog, who is always at young commander Zug's side.
Amidst the 135 pages of serious battle is war strategy, a little romance, and a lot of bravado, there is also humor. For example, the main character, Zug, observes his dog, Leon: "seeing us walk away from our food was all it took for Leon to quickly finish it off...... Then catch up with us while licking his lips. Do dogs have lips?" At the end of the book, Leon, lips or no lips, is a fun dog to read about and cheer on. As this book is labelled "Book 1," there will undoubtedly be more adventures to come for fans of Zug and Leon.
This book will be a welcome addition for most households with a young, swashbuckling, sword-fighting conqueror. The tale provides plenty of action for children not quite ready to tackle the likes of captain Ahab but who are way beyond Dick and Jane.
Much of the beauty of this book is that it can also be enjoyed on many different levels. An eight-year-old reader will imagine swinging swords and giving commands. Meanwhile, an older reader will likely take in much more.

Dr. Erhard Vogel is back this week and our topic is all about resistance. I think this is something many of us can relate to which is why I wanted to discuss this important topic with Erhard.
In this episode, Erhard and I talk about what resistance means, how it affects us and what we can do about it. Our intention is that you will value yourself enough to look into the things we discuss in this episode and accept yourself unconditionally. There is so much life to live on the other side of resistance, if you are willing to do it!
What is next for you? I posed the challenge to the listeners asking what is next for you after listening to this episode? One action you could take right now is to reach out to Erhard and I and let us know how you plan to implement what you heard in this episode. Please reach out and share your thoughts! Have you been able to experience anything different as a result of this conversation? Please let us know! As discussed in this episode, the resistance you have will tell you not to do it, but Erhard & I want you to move past that and do it anyway! Also, we welcome any questions or comments you have or any other topics you would like us to cover.
You can reach Erhard at eternalconsciousness@me.com and you can reach Sloane at sloanefreemont@pm.me.

Based on the book Dying to Live: The two Deaths and the One Worth Dying by Monica Hards.
What happens when we die? I’ve thought about this a lot. Let’s get one thing straight. It’s no longer a debate. There is plenty of information out there that will fill you in on exactly what happens. Whether you believe it or not, that is the real key but there are very specific accounts of what happens in and around the afterlife. Today I want to talk about an NDE. Technically Monica Hards passed away. It wasn’t long but it was long enough to affect her in profound ways. She was in the hospital undergoing a C-section when she had near-death experience.
Before we continue I’m going to assume a few things. One is that you’ve heard a lot of this kind of talk before, because it’s been said many times. You’ve heard about the tunnel of white light, accounts of rising out of your body and seeing yourself lying there, the fact that you meet your family when you die and that sometimes you are told it’s not your time before waking up in your hospital bed. There have been lots of Near Death Experiences and many of them follow this pattern. What I like most about Monica Hards story was that she saw, and now understands, the cosmic network that guides our lives.
Monica (Didn’t want to go back) Yea, and I didn’t want to go back, haha.
For me it’s the takeaways, the unique perspectives and the lessons learned that make for an interesting story. In her book Dying to Live: The two Deaths and the One Worth Dying she admits openly that this was not an easy book to write, because it is so personal. She recounts her experience in vivid detail and shares some brilliant insights about forgiveness, finding our purpose and understanding how the events of our life all connect.
Fun fact about forgiveness, it’s not about forgiving the people that have wronged you. It’s your ability to forgive yourself for the things you’ve done. They mean a great deal to you. These situations, they’ve made a mark on your soul. Being able to let go of them is not easy.
Monica (Feeling) I couldn’t let go of this feeling
Letting go is not easy. It’s an important lesson to learn. Here’s a great example. Listen to Monica talk about her experience with Pedro. Someone she met during her near death experience.
Monica (Pedro) I started meeting people and I was a little surprised cause I always thought you meet the people that were already dead but I met somebody who was alive. It was an unresolved situation and it was more of a big feeling of guilt on my side cause I’d let him down. When I met him later I still had this guilt and I spoke to him and he was like, why? That was long over and done with you know. For him it was nothing. And I put this identity onto me which was not necessary.
Here’s a great quote from her book “..a broken heart has a crack to let more light in…” I love that.
Monica (Divorce) I must admit I did have a divorce afterwards but that was maybe because I wasn't speaking about my experience I was just swallowing it all and keeping it to myself and that might have also caused the divorce because I just felt things were different and my perception was different. So little things that would annoy my husband I think yeah but that’s so irrelevant you know you’re worrying about these things that I might have worried about before but it just seemed so strange and I didn’t feel i was in the right place and it took me a long time to accept.
Having a life-altering event can definitely shift your perspective and learning how to come to terms with all that can be another important lesson to learn. How about this one “…The Narcissist has no Empathy.” That’s not a direct quote but it’s pretty close — a little poetic license from me to make a point.
The thing I like most about this book is the profound importance of the title “Dying to Live”. Sometimes that’s what it takes to shift our perspective and get us thinking clearly or on the righ...

Words of encouragement, appreciation, and compassion help feed the part of the brain that triggers positive self-talk.
Research shows that words of affirmation help build positive self-awareness when affirmations are given before a stressor.
During this session, I discuss suggestions on building words of self-affirmation. Practicing building affirmations help decrease stress and build confidence. Affirmations also help neurons grow through neuroplasticity.
I invite you to practice coming up with words of affirmation with your family and friends.

In his fifth Seek Reality interview, Father Nathan Castle, a Dominical priest and the author of two wonderful books called Afterlife Interrupted - Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over and Afterlife Interrupted Two, tells us wonderful true stories about his work with people who have gone off track after their deaths, and how the spirits who had been working to help those people had counseled them and helped them to prepare to complete their transitions.
Roberta considers Father Nathan's pioneering work to be a wonderful additional contribution to the afterlife literature.
As Dr. Phil says, “Sometimes you make the right decision and sometimes you make the decision right.”
After being together for a while, some people tell themselves that they didn’t marry the right person, they never really loved each other, so there is really no way to make it better. In other words, they made the wrong decision.
What they don’t realize is that they may be focusing on the wrong thing. We tend to pay attention to things that bother us and overlook the positive aspects of our lives, including our partners and our marriages.
A related phenomenon is, when we come to this conclusion, we put the burden on our partner and underestimate our own part in what we’re focusing on.

Being in business is not for the faint of heart. The amount of noise in the marketplace is daunting and finding where you fit in, in business, can be a challenge.
I believe that if you choose to do what everyone else is doing, you are likely to get the same results. The big question is, “are those results the results you are personally or professionally looking to achieve?”
So what’s the key ingredient in standing out and shining your light? Be yourself! Only you can do you! You deserve to attract a following of loyal customers who are fanatical about you and your business.

The January 6, 2021 protests that breached the U. S. Capitol Building is an unforgettable event that every American will long remember. But the nation is sharply divided in its recollection of those protests. The Democrats like to call it an “insurrection,” and they are working hard to punish not only those lawbreakers who breached the Capitol, but also the Republicans who supported Donald Trump and who believe that there were voting irregularities that helped Biden defeat Trump in the presidential election. Rodney from New Windsor will discuss with your host several continuing matters in which the nation continues to be divided in how to regard the January 6th protests.
We will discuss some insidious misstatements in liberal renditions of what happened on January 6th. We will discuss some of the history of the House’s Select Committee, which claims to seek the truth, but which barred Congressmen Banks and Jordan from being on the committee because they did not vote to certify the election of President Joe Biden. We will also discuss the Georgia election law passed in 2021, which requires the use of voter photo ID for mail-in, absentee voting. Democrats, led by President Biden, lied by stating that this law was intended to disenfranchise voters of color. Rodney and I will review these things, which expose the lies and hypocrisy of the socialists, who are now in control of the Democrat Party.
You will love to listen to the insights and energy of “Rodney of New Windsor” and of your host.

Welcome to Healing From Within I am your host Sheryl Glick author of my newest book in the trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories showing us our challenges are not simply economic political or societal just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom and the laws of Universal Source. I am delighted to welcome Zen Honeycutt, Executive Director of Moms across America on how to ensure our food is free of contaminants.As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate experiences and insights as we try to improve the quality of health, emotional balance and a greater awareness of how energy and all aspects of physical and energetic life work together to help us in our personal and collective world growth. The more knowledge we gather about human challenges the more we are able to find solutions to improve the quality of life.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Zen Honeycutt will share how to ensure our food is free from contaminants. As the world population has soared, water and food sources must be protected and improved.Our current agrochemical food system allows hundreds of millions of pounds of glyphosate herbicides to be sprayed on our food crops every year. These herbicides have been found to contain heavy metals such as arsenic. Is there another way to protect the crops without using these contaminants?We can and must avoid toxic baby foods and find the best foods for babies and young children. Avoid rice is at the top of the list because it has extremely high concentrations of inorganic arsenic. Arsenic is a natural element found in soil, water and air. Because rice is grown submerged in water, it is especially good at absorbing inorganic arsenic, the most toxic form. Because the milling process used to create white rice removes the outer layers, where much of the arsenic concentrates, white rice has less arsenic than brown and wild rice.Still, in the Healthy Babies analysis, four of seven rice cereals tested contained the most toxic form of arsenic in levels higher than the FDA's proposed action level of 100 parts per billion (ppb)."Rice cereal has six times more arsenic than other types of cereal, like oatmeal and multi-grain," Houlihan said.Toxic heavy metals damaging to your baby's brain development are likely in the baby food you are feeding your infant, according to a new investigation published Thursday.Tests of 168 baby foods from major manufacturers in the US found 95% contained lead, 73% contained arsenic, 75% contained cadmium and 32% contained mercury. One fourth of the foods contained all four heavy metals.Lead screening guidelines for children, pregnant women changed by task force One in five baby foods tested had over 10 times the 1-ppb limit of lead endorsed by public health advocates, although experts agree that no level of lead is safe.The results mimicked a previous study by the Food and Drug Administration that found one or more of the same metals in 33 of 39 types of baby food tested.Seems necessary to feed the baby pureed organic foods.???Moms Across America have launched the Mom’s Across America Gold Standard and one of the criteria for being awarded the Gold Standard is to have passed testing for heavy metals. They say they can’t wait for the government to do the right thing (example the EPA’s battle with California on labeling of products containing glyphosate and the USDA’s recent proposal to allow agricultural corporations to self-determine the safety of products) so Mom’s Across America has developed a stringent, 3-tier seal of approval that will assure consumers that the product they are buying and eating meets the highest, purest standards of safety and health for consumers and the environment.The good news is that we can make changes in our own lives and influence the way our food is grown with every forkful we eat. Women make 90% of the household purchases.
The author shares the inspirational story of his life. He was born in Singapore to industrious parents, and he lived in poverty. He was a sick child and the illness impacted him profoundly. Through his experiences, the author developed nine principles he used to achieve his own success. The principles illustrated in the book provide a plan anyone could utilize.
Each chapter provides a detailed account of a principle and how the author put it into practice. The blending of family stories about his life coupled with technical guidelines is intense, practical, and accessible simultaneously.
This book has universal appeal, and it would make a great gift for a young reader. It is both inspirational and encouraging.

Welcome to Healing From Within I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories of our connection to eternal Universal Life Force Energy that reminds us when accessed that we are capable of creating wonderful experiences and miracles by improving our thoughts actions, conquering fear and negativity and becoming aware of how we are interconnected to all of life and must remember our highest goal is to know love in its many aspects. Today I welcome a former guest Minister Rev. Keiko Hoshino who is the Publishing Director for the U.S. branch of Happy Science IRH Press and represents the spiritual ideas and values of Master Ryoho Okawa author of The Resurrection who suffered a severe life threatening episode and miraculously healed using the power of his will and subconscious mind.Rev Hoshino is a past guest of Healing From Within and if listeners would like to hear the last show we shared together they may go to my website www.sherylglick.com radio page December 2019 The topic was Common Spiritual Wisdom for Creating Peace and Oneness.As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate experiences into the world of energy and metaphysics as we conquer the illusions of the physical realm and reclaim our divinity or eternal soul wisdom so we may create healthier lives and restore our communities to more positive behaviors respecting the interconnectivity of all life.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Rev Hoshino will share the story of Ryoho Okawa who suffered at the age of 47 a life altering experience which is represented in the film “ Immortal Hero” This movie has currently received 29 awards from 6 countries. Available to watch on VOD (www.immortal-hero.com).Storyline: Makoto Mioya, a highly successful Japanese author and publisher, has a life-threatening, near-death experience. Powerful spiritual beings with whom he has communicated most of his adult life visit Makoto to remind him he has the power within to heal himself.Reborn, Makoto commits his life to sharing the almighty wisdom he receives from the spiritual realm. As doubters, including some of his own family, challenge and question his new-found ardor, Makoto must find a way to connect with his family and to inspire a better worldMuch happened in Okawa Okawa’s life before he wrote his book The New Resurrection showing how he became aware of self healing after many years of communication with his spiritual guides.This movie focuses on the main character’s internal conflict which arises as he progresses through the various stages of his life, starting from the time when he resigns from his job and becomes a best-selling author; he then marries and builds a family with children; and his work gradually expands. In that sense, this movie is not only an autobiographical episode of a religious leader’s life, but also about the weight of responsibilities carried by middle-aged people who are at an age to fill managerial positions. So, I believe many people can empathize with this movie. Perhaps people who have suffered a severe illness in their 40s, who are unsure whether they can return to their job after being discharged from the hospital, may sympathize by watching the movie also.The movie steps in a little deeper and Personally, Okawa saw himself as a religious leader because he was able to receive spiritual messages, but at the same time, he also saw himself as a bestselling author, and so did the majority of the public too. At that time, there was a part of Okawa which thought that it would help to be known as a writer first, to gain popularity and attract more people. In those days, there used to be a list of the highest taxpayers that was published annually. So I often applied to the ‘Writer’ category, but every time, I was put under the ‘Other’ category instead. Usually,

Su was one of the founders of the 2 Young Crones and my partner in crime for all of our crazy & not so crazy ideas over the last 15 plus years about what and how we would attempt to create our own meaningful practices of Witchcraft.
Su never shared about her personal health while podcasting but she had been struggling with metastatic breast cancer for a while and it finally won. She started having severe respiratory distress and after a brief hospitalization made the decision to move to hospice care. She has gone on to what the two of us always called our next big upcoming adventure. She was my best friend and the one who held me up during the worst time in my own life and she will be missed.
As you can imagine, there will be changes to the podcast going forward. Dave, her husband, is going to step up and become the second Crone so we will be releasing a new episode May 24th.
We have never said a Crone had to be a woman and whether he sticks with that designation or finds one of his own you will just have to wait and see. We will continue with at least some of our current format, but there may be some changes to what we do.
This week I'm excited to welcome back Lawrence Rook to the show. Lawrence is the author of "Your Money, Your Mind", a book that explores both skeptical thinking and how to protect yourself from the wealth transfer we are currently experiencing. If you missed my previous interview with Lawrence, you can find it here Using Skepticism to Free Your Mind & Take Control of Your Finances.In the last interview I did with Lawrence, we touched on both the financial side and the skeptical thinking side. For today's discussion, we are talking about the more spiritual side of things to help you take control of your life and your sovereignty so you can create the kind of life you want to create. We talk about what it means to be someone who is seeking truth and wants to understand what's really going on, how you can't always blindly trust the alternative media just because they are alternative, how to use discernment and this spiritual journey we are all on often consists of a breakdown of self as you begin to relearn what you thought you knew. We discuss polarization and how that can be used to divide and rule people, why it's important to take what works and leave the rest and how everything starts from within.In this episode, Lawrence made the comment that we can't always predict what we are going to grow from and we don't really know what is best for us. We are part of an intelligent universe that wants the best for us and can see the bigger picture when we can't. I loved that comment so much I called that the title of the episode because I thought it was a great reminder. This was an amazing conversation with so much great information for anyone who is seeking truth, exploring alternative paths and wants to be part of the solution. Don't miss this episode, this is one you are going to want to listen to a few times to let it all sink in!Watch the interview with Lawrence here: https://www.bitchute.com/video/gB2BOlRBce0J/More About the book: Your Money, Your Mind: With open-minded thinking we can see beyond conventional systems. Knowledge equates to freedom, and with the expanded perspective gained from exposure to alternative information we can have more choice and sovereignty in our lives.
People are becoming more aware of the outdated systems that govern our society. Change is happening!
However, still only a few know how the financial system operates and how to create independence with this knowledge.
Since the 'covid response' we have experienced a dramatic increase in the implementation of monetary policies that for decades have benefited the few to the cost of the many.
This book outlines the importance of sceptical thinking and transposes this to the monetary system.
This book will teach you how:
The global financial system benefits the few and not the manyThe Covid response is causing a global wealth transferTo protect and grow your wealth with bitcoin, gold and silver
By understanding the financial system you can protect, preserve and grow your wealth at a time when it is being systematically taken from us.
Take control of your money and wealth today and be part of the global change!About Lawrence Rook: Lawrence has been a researcher of alternative information for many years, particularly in the field of health and wellbeing, and more recently the worldwide financial system. He is a professional Chirologist and has a background in healthcare with a degree in Chinese medicine. Lawrence lives in Devon, England with his wife and two young children currently studying for a doctorate in counselling psychology and psychotherapy.

Developing programs to help intangible concepts become more apparent is one thing. However, it is another thing when life happens, and the developer must actualize the ideas to regain balance.
In this episode, I invite you into my inner circle. I openly share how I am personally using mindfulness practice during a loss. Emotions are raw when the death of a loved one happens. How we express, those raw emotions are personal and unique to each person. Join me as I discuss processing through grief using mindfulness skills of reflection, awareness, appreciation, compassion, non-judgment, acceptance, sharing, and affirmation. It is most helpful, to begin with a mindful breath. My appreciation for the breath and life is at a new level. Working through this is essential because through the change resulting from loss comes strength and a love for life. Words of affirmation help my mind move through grief. Everyone is different. There are no expectations of what is good or bad.
Today, we live our lives with renewed richness, sensitivity, and awareness.
I dedicate this podcast to my father-in-law Colonel Alton W. Powell II, of blessed memory.
In 2022, the Democrat Party is now controlled by socialists, who decry capitalism and promote socialism. The Green New Deal, Biden’s Build Back Better plan, and the pandemic stimulus legislation all advance socialist proposals, which will help cause the American economy to collapse, if not checked. The Democrat agenda, plus the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, plus continuing fears about Covid-19, plus widespread hatred of capitalism, plus a desire to punish conservatives who dare to allege that voting fraud and irregularities took place in the 2020 presidential election—all of this is threatening freedom and prosperity in America. The unfounded attack on capitalism is at the heart of current attacks on freedom in America.
It is important to expose the fatal flaws of socialism and to reveal the great advantages of capitalism. Capitalism is the foundation of freedom and prosperity in America. In this podcast, we will discuss the elements of both economic systems, and explain how socialism always destroys the economy of nations that adopt it, but how capitalism is the best system to bring the most wealth to most people. Capitalism works because it awards individual incentive, it promotes hard work and creativity. Capitalism works because individuals can own their own property and because they can retain the benefits of their hard work and productivity. Socialism always implodes after the government takes and spends all the money of the wealthy. Socialism is a war on the wealthy that ends up making most people poor, except for the few individuals who rise to governmental power. Socialism operates by force and compulsion until it self destructs.
It is important to the continued prosperity and freedom of America that its people come to understand and appreciate the blessings and benefits of capitalism, and to recognize and reject the serious problems that always attend socialism. This discussion will help people to boldly embrace capitalism as a positive blessing for America.

Did anyone see this coming? President Biden or whoever is running our nation in the shadows has created a bureau of misinformation. Where did they create this new depsrtment? In the Department of Homeland Security which is a law enforcement agency, well isn't that convenient. Ready to spend time in jail for speech? There is no doubt that many on the left want to shut down and intimidate the right of free speech in America.
But if we are a Republic then we do have constitutional rights and if we believe in free speech then this should be an important voting issue this fall! Doc Holliday uses some clips from Newsmax with interesting insights into free speech. Those insights speak about Elon Musk, Twitter, Gov. DeSantis, and others. Great show with relevant details about what you need to know today. Doc also has an update with what is going on with the new administration in the state of Virginia with a clip from Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears. Click on for another show everyone in America should hear!
Marriage should be a place where you feel loved, accepted, and supported. It should not be a place where you have to walk on eggshells. But it’s easier to end up in a toxic relationship than most people think. The relationships that get all the attention are the ones high in drama so many people equate that with love. Maybe that’s you. But these volatile relationships are exhausting and leave both partners suffering from emotional whiplash. Psychoanalytic therapist and research psychologist Dr. Frieda Birnbaum explains how this happens and what to do if you’re in this type of relationship.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Bob Proctor
“Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose."

Over the years, there have been hard times both personally and professionally. So, what do you do when you feel lost and not sure of the next step to take?
For me, it has always been about breathing to help me think clearly and make a move. Sometimes the moves were right and sometimes epic failures.
I believe life can be hard at times, and not so easy to see the light and the correct road or path to follow.

Welcome to Healing From Within I am your host Sheryl Glick author of my newest book in the trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us that our challenges are not merely economic political or societal just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Kris Francoeur, author of Of Grief, Garlic and Gratitude which approaches grief with the realities and honest account of living with grief, offering healing and hope, without necessarily relying on religion, formal psychotherapy or pharmaceutical resources. A novel approach for people who struggle with mental health issues and addiction.As listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect over the years Sheryl and her guests explore and answer questions about the origin of life and death to find the metaphysical aspects of our dual nature as spiritual beings having a physical life as we support energy and the Universal Source for continued expansion and creation. It is through knowing more about who we are that we can handle the challenges, sorrows and joys as well as the opportunities for personal and collective growth through our experiences and learn greater compassion and love for life.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Kris Francoeur shares a deeply moving memoir honoring her 20 year old son Sam whose untimely death launched her need to search deeply within to deal with the complexity of grief and sorrow. Kris Francoeur is the author of three romance novels using her pen name Anna Belle Rose and lives in Addison County Vermont with her husband and youngest son, a small flock of alpaca, chickens and several hives of bees and the rest of her family and friends.When Sheryl asks Kris to think back to her childhood and a person, place or experience that might have shown her or others the lifestyle or interests she might value as an adult she immediately remembers her grandmother whose name she honors for the fictional books she has written. Her grandmother encouraged in her a sense of being able to do whatever she needed to do from within her heart values and for Kris it was writing. It was the unconditional love and acceptance she received from her grandmother that also sustained her in dealing with the untimely transition of her son Sam.In the prologue of your book you say your life is divided into two parts by a glaringly clear line. The first part was anything before October 9, 2013 and the other, everything after. This book is about the after. But we go back and start by learning more about Kris and her family and specifically your son Sam.Sheryl likes the paragraph that describes Sam from his earliest days and Kris wrote,“The first thing anyone noticed about Sam even at a few days old was that he didn’t sleep: he was eerily aware of everything. Perhaps his soul had always known his time would be short so he didn’t waste time sleeping too much. Sam loved his older brother and sister and would look at them intensely. Within a short period of time Sam started talking. He could talk in full sentences long before he could walk. And he would start a conversation with every person he met—I mean every single person. When he was a toddler and we’d walk up the street all the adults would say, “Hi Sam.”Everywhere we went with Sam we had to keep an eye on him because he would wander off to have a conversation or joy of joys to meet someone new. Sam also could be very stubborn and controlling.Sheryl suggests Sam was a sensitive child gifted by Spirit with a goodness and love for life that could not be easily tapped down. Many people labeled with issues that affect their physical or mental well being are simply souls having trouble grounding their immense energy into a physical body and life. Labels do little to truly appreciate the uniqueness of each soul being.Kris shares with us as the days passed after Sam’s transition many of his friends...

Kerry McLeod and Philip Dykes are a delightful and talented pair of British mediums who participate in our beautiful friend Sandra Champlain's weekly Sunday Gatherings, and they share with us some of those Gatherings' highlights as they grow remarkably in size from week to week. Since they are nondenominational, those Gatherings have proven to be a wonderful way for people to transition to a lighthearted but still spiritual form of fellowship. Phil and Kerry also talk about their history, how they met, and the rich and storied past of spiritualism in the British Isles.
Is this my strategy for staying the same? This is such an interesting question to ask yourself when you are engaging in behavior that feels terrible or that you know doesn't work. In this episode, I share what I'm learning in a course I'm taking about becoming aware of what you're focusing on. Thoughts, emotions and behaviors used to feel like they were all one unit that I had no control over. This left me feeling like my emotions were often out of control and these behaviors I had (that felt terrible) were just "how I was". But now I'm starting to see things differently and I share that perspective with you this week.Once you start to see what you focus on, you can then understand why you feel the way you feel which then in turn affects how you behave. And the good news about all of this is you have complete control over it! In this episode, I'll explain how. I also share some important questions to ask yourself about your focus. You don't have to continue to feel stuck or do things that don't feel good to you. This episode will help you to understand how you can start choosing what you focus on in ways that feel good so you can move in the direction of what you want to be, do and have in this life!If you liked this episode, here are some ways to support my work:Get your free copy of My Personal Awakening Map to start creating the reality YOU desire!

But can your relationship improve, or do you just need to get out?

In this episode, we will dissect the characteristic of judgmental scaling. When we fill our conversations with judgments, we may not be aware of the impact of judgments words on our thinking and our ability to manage stress.
Barriers and distractors become by-products of negative self-talk resulting from judgment dialogues or interactions. Join me as I share tips on bridging positive thoughts to dampen carousels of negative self-talk.
I also share research from W. Robert Nay, Ph.D., Clinical Association Professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine, from his seminar Passive Aggressive, Sarcasm, Cold Anger, Hostility and Aggression: Brain-Based Advances in Managing Anger, February 7, 2022.
When the Senate and the House eventually convened on January 6, 2021, requests weremade in both chambers to delay counting the Electoral votes for ten days until an audit could be done of the election results in several states to determine whether the elections had been done properly. These requests were defeated, after which Vice President Pence certified the votes submitted by all the states, making Joe Biden the winner of the presidential election.
Senators Cruz and Hawley were the leaders in the Senate requesting the delay, and ofcourse President Trump was fully on board. These three have been accused of obstructingjustice, repudiating the Constitution, and departing from their conservative values. Theseaccusations are all false. The partisan House January 6 th Commission is chomping at the bit to blame Trump, Cruz and Hawley of wrongdoing for seeking a delay.
In this podcast we will review facts about the allegations of election errors in Wisconsin,Pennsylvania, and Georgia. We will discuss how there is a Constitutional remedy if a statesubmits an erroneous certification of Electoral votes to Congress. And we will discuss astandard to be applied by Congress whenever such a challenge is made.
Although Trump did not win any of the court cases seeking to establish voting violationsin Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia—none of those courts actually reviewed theelections—rather the courts refused to review the elections. There were no court findings that there was no fraud or mistake or voting violations in those three states. For various reasons, the courts refused to take the cases.
You should find this discussion to be interesting, stimulating, and perhaps discouraging.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Dr. Wayne Dyer
“You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality.”
https://youtu.be/sBleRmZnBlw
Check Out These Highlights:
Over the past 20+ years, I have been studying and focusing, with intention, on my spiritual journey. I’ve learned that our minds are a tool; to help us create the life we desire. As in Wayne Dyer's quote, what we think really does become what we see in the world, and for me, that’s when we truly begin to connect with the universe.
That's where the magic happens!
Here’s the deal, getting there takes dedication, perseverance, focus, and willpower, and guess what; it is so worth the transformation and joy that naturally happens!
About David Richards:
David and I are going to discuss mindfulness which sometimes may feel mysterious. The reality is, that each and every one of us is in a different state of consciousness. What's most amazing today is the ability to absorb and share information. It's unprecedented.
One hundred years ago, our ancestors might have spent decades looking for information that we can find within minutes, and even seconds. How much more interconnected are we capable of becoming? How much more conscious can we be?
David is a life strategist, international bestselling author, and executive coach. He’s been teaching yoga for fifteen years and served in the Marines for fifteen years. He helps people achieve the extraordinary.

What happens after we die? Where does our soul go? Based on her profound insight into these provocative questions, Monica Hards tells in her book Dying to Live of her own out-of-body and near-death experiences and much more. Monica's book explores encounters that are difficult to explain, how being a highly sensitive person has its challenges in life, themes that deal with life and death, and the question of what comes next after we leave this planet.
We shouldn’t let ourselves be controlled by our mind and Monica shares the details of her near death experience and what she learned about personal suffering in this episode. We are all connected to each other through a kaleidoscope of relationships. We need each other to survive and thrive, but independently and not codependently. This book is designed to help you discover your soul’s real truth.
More about Monica Hards: Monica Hards is making her debut as an author with her non-fiction book "Dying to Live: The Two Deaths and the One Worth Dying". She has traveled the world with her music, played for the Japanese Princess and walked the red carpet with David Garrett.

Her inspirational work with many patients of different ages and students draws on the power of vibratory music. Through her adventures in life as a hypersensitive person she has grown in humility and resilience and gained a deeper understanding of the unknown spiritual world. Monica lives in Munich, Germany with her three children.

The Voice from the Back Row: Off the Bandwagon began as a simple blog. As the number of postings grew, the impulse to put them in book form increased as well. This book is a compilation of the first 130 posts, and covers the time period from September of 1915 to April of 2021, including both the times of the comparative normalcy in which the energy for change was building and the definitive trigger of the present, the emergence of the Coronavirus Covid 19, which threw that apparent normalcy into utter chaos. The book contains both the author's personal experiences and her commentary on political and social issues of the times. The posts encourage the reader to look beyond the rhetoric of the media, political figures and popular thought and think for themselves about where events are leading us and the nature of progress itself. When something changes, something is gained, and something is lost. Too often, people do not think about the exchange before the change is set. This book encourages us to take a deeper look at where we are headed, and to be a participant in creating the truly functional world we all desire, in which life is respected, all peoples thrive, and in which compassion, gentleness and stewardship replace conflict, death, greed and dominance. Such change begins with our own inner work and extends into that which we see as outside of us. It includes the Earth, our magnificent and nurturing home in the cosmos. The book is a work to be savored as it is read.
About Diane Drummond: Diane Drummond has spent a lifetime observing life and pondering how people interact with each other, themselves and the Earth through their behavior, beliefs, words, politics, difficulties, and joys. She has traveled widely, both as a child and an adult, and has lived in and observed a variety of cultures. She speaks three languages. She has experienced life as a mother and homemaker, a government employee, a teacher of young children and a mentor of older children and young adults. She loves both reading the words of others and creating through words herself. She is passionate about the Earth and about how humans can relate to the Earth and all its denizens and to each other and the overarching Creative Force which envelops us all in ways that engender the health and beauty of the entire interconnected natural system. If her work can help to bring about that goal, she will be happy. You can find out more about The Voice from the Back Row: Off the Bandwagon on Amazon.

We are going to talk about a fundamental skill of mindfulness practice. In previous episodes, we have discussed physiological responses to stress and changes in our bodies. In this episode, I will guide our discussion to consider the importance of awareness as a mindfulness skill. Self-awareness: We pay attention to our thoughts, feelings, or activities that make us uncomfortable. We can allow ourselves to be comforted that in times of change have a tool to bring ourselves to calmness in times of change. Join me as I share what contributes to our awareness.

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher, medium, and author of the newest book in my trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares the notion that as infinite beings the possibility to create a healthy prosperous physical life journey lies within, and it is not the political economic or societal demands of the world that hold us hostage to suffering and fear. Today Sheryl welcomes Garnet Thompson, author of 20/20 Vision Dreams, an interactive book and journal about pursuing dreams with persistence and focus, primarily for youthful individuals in age or heart which encourages to dream big and often.
Garnet as listeners of Healing From Within are well aware my guests and I share intimate and often intuitive insights into the challenges of merging our dual nature as both energetic soul beings with a physical life journey. We discover so many ways to merge our unique forces of life experiences with inner soul remembrances or awareness and become able to conquer many irrational limiting fears and barriers and break free of childhood patterns to pursue healthier joyful purposeful lives.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Garnet Thompson helps listeners to identify how much they have to offer the world and provides answers to begin to take consistent action to achieve goals and dreams that have often been delayed or denied out of perhaps fear of failure? Garnet shares a wonderful perspective on how with persistence attitude and a network of support even “seemingly” impossible dreams are possible.Garnet when asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that might have signaled to him or others what his interests might be as an adult begins by telling us of his life in Jamaica at 9 years old when he lived with his ministers family as his grandparents who he lived with moved to Canada to set up a better life for him. His exposure to many loving people in the community gave him an open heart and a desire to meet many people from different cultures to share his thoughts on living a positive life. Garnet writes, “During my youth I dreamt of flying to distant far-off lands and experiencing other cultures and meeting new people. The idea of getting on an airplane and flying free as the birds raced through my young mind for most of my childhood days. I reasoned that I would become a pilot and would have unlimited opportunities to fly each and every day. I think my younger self would have been quite pleased that I have been a passenger on many flights and travelled around the globe north south east and west of Jamaica where I began.”“The only comment that I can offer is that the things I value most in life are family teamwork, truth, courage and integrity. At this stage in my life my greatest desire is to share the knowledge, wisdom and understanding gained so far with today’s youth in order to help harness their previously unrecognized and unused talents and skills.’Garnet tells us for him the number one thing holding people back from successfully living the life of their dreams. “Let’s start with a dictionary definition of dreams: a series of thoughts, images and sensations occurring in a person’s mind. Dreaming then is the conscious or subconscious act of imaging the possibility of something occurring. As children we tend to dream quite often both during sleep and sometimes while awake. Often as we grow up we lose or relinquish the willingness and ability to let our minds wander and just dream.”Garnet goes on to write ”The thoughts which flow through our minds can be likened to a great river from an unknown source which washes through our minds leaving debris and residue for us to examine closer during our waking hours. The deposits of debris (images or visions) of places, people, things and experiences which we find appealing and drawn to exploring provide a sense of hope which is vital to maintaining the life force...

The story of how my guest for this week came about felt random at first but I know it actually wasn't random at all. It started like this: I read a post on Flote about accepting things as they are, not as we want them to be and it really got me thinking. For some reason, I still don't engage much on social media through comments, (I think that's leftover from my Facebook days and how argumentative people were on there.) but I decided to comment because those words kept pulling at me. There was something there that I needed to understand more as that phrase "accepting things as they are" kept coming up for me. (I think this was like the 4th or 5th time I had heard it that week so I guessed it was finally time to pay attention!).I made the comment on the post and chatted back and forth with the poster and that is how Alex Martin came to join the podcast. Here's an excerpt from the post: "The accepting part is about not letting those wishes turn into expectations or frustrations. Accepting things as they are in this case meant setting my expectations and entitlements aside and realizing that this young woman had agency… freedom… choices… that she didn’t belong to anyone but herself. The wish and will part would have been for me to tell her about my feelings when I realized I had them… and then accept whatever the outcome of that might have been."Alex and I have a thoughtful discussion on what it means to accept things as they are, how it doesn't mean giving up or giving in and how we can use our voices to be more clear about what it is we want in life and go after it.

Based on the book: Hearing What I Hear, Seeing What I See: A Poetic Journey Through PTSD" by Meghan Dilley
P T S D you’ve heard this acronym before. It stands for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. What do you think of when you hear the term? Veterans returning home from war is the first thing I thought of. The truth is, anyone that’s been through a terrifying event can have PTSD and determining what is terrifying and traumatic is different for every person.
The symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the traumatic event. They can be debilitating, leaving a person unable to function. Imagine reliving a horrifying event over and over again.
Meghan Dilly - It’s just when the amount of stress put your body into this fight or flight experience and you just can’t get things out of your head.
That is a great little summary from Meghan Dilly, author of the book Hearing What I Hear, Seeing What I See: A Poetic Journey Through PTSD.
According to the National Center for PTSD, about 7 or 8 out of every 100 people will experience PTSD at some point in their lives and that’s because it affects no only veterans but victims of a sexual assault or an accident or a disaster. It also affects many Health care workers, like Meghan.
Meghan Dilly - During the brunt of Covid in April 2020 I was redeployed to the makeshift morgue which was where the refrigerators were and asked to move some of the bodies and that kind of changed my life at the moment. I thought I was fine. I thought, you know whatever, I’ve been through a lot of things in my life. I’ve seen a lot of things and then I didn’t know what hit me.
Have you ever seen a dead body? I have and it’s something you can’t unsee. It was only one body. A man who’d been shot in the head and dumped in the alley behind the apartment where I lived. I can see it now as clearly as I did when it happened over thirty years ago.
Here on Newsgram we have met several authors who have stood on the front lines of a disturbing event or situation and have chosen to share their stories. It’s always deeply personal and it’s always hard to imagine what it was like to be in an unthinkable situation.
Meghan Dilly - I’m a pretty introverted person who didn’t really know what was going on. I didn’t talk about it. I just thought it was fine so I never really processed anything and my body just went crazy and I have a lot of hypersensitivity to noise especially certain noises that reminds me of that day like motor noises, refrigerator noises, going through CDS and hearing the refrigeration sound is a constant trigger and its one that I haven’t been about to get rid of.
Meghan Dilly experienced the toughest struggle of her life and she chose to put her feelings down in the form of poetry. I am always fascinated by writers that can paint a canvas of words that get us to think, to feel and reflect. We all have different ways of coping with personal trauma. Talking about it, or writing about it can be a great way to cope….or sometimes you just need to wear a hat.
Meghan Dilly - I have a poem about hats and that was one of the things I found protection in was wearing a hat. It sounds a little silly but just having that over my head, over my ears was a form of protection and it helped me a lot.
I don’t think that is silly at all. In fact I think a lot of us can relate to the confidence you get from putting on a cool hat or pulling one down over our head in an effort to close yourself off from others — just a little bit — to feel more secure.
This is one of the great things about her book. It’s not just for people who are suffering from PTSD. It’s for anyone who can relate to things like the comfort you get from wearing a hat.
Meghans combination of skills and experiences combine to create some very raw and very honest poetry. She has a BA in English, she was a teacher and she is now a physical therapist.

Digitally printing photos on Japanese paper (washi) can yield tremendous results for photographers who are interested in experimenting with new methods.
But beware: The common concept of how photographs should look will be challenged if you decide to use this technique.
The author shares his experiences using this experimental technique in his book.
After using Japanese papers (washi) for paintings and collages, he started to use the papers for his photos.
This technique is not an alternative to classic film-based photography. Ink is injected from a cartridge in a printer connected to a computer and printed on paper, in this case on washi.
Darkroom facilities are not needed. All you need is a computer, printer, washi, and photos.
The liveliness of washi fibers gives a softer result, and washi is more absorbent than Western papers, with the ink appearing integrated rather than sitting on the printed surface.
Find out how to use a method that will give new life to photos with the insights in Using Japanese Paper for Digital Printing of Photographs.
Mildred Muhammad was the intended target of the DC Sniper. The horrific crime that took place in the Washington, D.C. area in 2002. The crime resulted in innocent people being killed and it was committed by her then ex-husband, John Allen Muhammad. To say she knows a thing or two about domestic violence is an understatement. She speaks out about it globally and joins Dr. Lycka today to share her expertise.
Guest Bio:
Resilient, courageous, strong, and powerful are just a few words, others use, to describe Mildred D. Muhammad. She was a victim who became a survivor and is now a warrior on the issues of abuse. She speaks globally to encourage and empower others to reflect self-assurance, self-improvement and self-love, which is the greatest gift of all!

Based on the Book by Hilmar Lorenz, Based on the book Facing the Environmental Crisis: Consequences for Scientific and Religious Communities
On December 12th of 2015 representatives of 196 countries met in Paris to discuss reducing greenhouse gas. According to the organizing committee of the summit in Paris, the objective of the 2015 conference was to achieve, for the first time in over 20 years of UN negotiations, a binding and universal agreement on climate change.
The outcome of the summit was an agreement adopted by the states' parties that called for a $100 billion "Green Climate Fund", and a "Climate Technology Centre" and network.
Collective contributions continue to fall short but that’s a different problem. The United States withdrew from the Agreement in 2020, but rejoined in 2021.
So, as of January 2021, 195 parties have signed the Paris agreement and 190 have ratified it. Which means we now have a completed, functioning global climate treaty. That is a fact. This show is not going to debate whether or not it all makes sense because I know many of you have varying opinions all this so I’d like you to meet Hilmar Lorenz author of the book Facing the Environmental Crisis: Consequences for Scientific and Religious Communities
Hilmar Lorenz - I have a long story of dealing with the subject of the Environment.
Which we will keep brief today on Newsgram but his book is interesting because it shows the climate crisis as a consequence of both scientific theological methodology and it draws on 300 years of technological advancements.
Hilmar Lorenz - You can have technologically the greatest success you want to have. It doesn’t help us so much if these successes put at stake human civilization.
Did you get that. It was a pretty strong statement and it’s something I’ve been annoying my wife with in some of our recent dinner conversations. What? You don’t talk about the state of the world and climate change over your spaghetti and meatballs? We love technology but how often do we say just because we can does that mean we should? And, now that we have how do we fix it, change it or modify things to correct the course we are on?
Hilmar Lorenz - That’s the problem we have to face because if we ignore it, it might be the doom of human civilization. No longer in my generation, but there are other generations for whom life may become very miserable if they are still able to live in the world which is left to them.
So when it comes to technology he says we need to go beyond just having fun and considering our own self-interests and our economic interests. The same thing goes for religion.
Hilmar Lorenz - Nor can religion say yes we are only responsible for our members and we don’t care about the rest of society this is a total misunderstanding of what religion is about. Religion is about. Religion is about something, which brings a better world for all human beings.
Stating the obvious here - this is not something that is resolved easily. We’ve been talking about recycling and environmental issues for my entire life and I was born in the 60’s. In fact I just watched an episode of the Simpsons last night from the 1997 title "The Old Man and the Lisa” that won thewon the Environmental Media Award for "TV Episodic Comedy". If you haven’t seen it I would recommend checking it out. Season eight - episode 21. Yes, 21. Remember when a season was longer than 10 episodes….but I digress.
Hilmar Lorenz is 82 years old and he published his book five years ago and in it he urges the scientific community to face it’s involvement in this problem because in their theories they are not considering environmental consequences but the side effects are there and now we are forced to deal with them. He also points the finger at Religion for not urging members to minimize their consumption.
He say’s there is a change taking place in politics. Some political leaders are realizing that we have one last ...
I don’t know about you but lately my favorite place in the whole world…is my bed. Collapsing on that bed and letting all the stresses of the day melt away is my new favorite pastime! Check out this poem by Paul Jones. It’s called AS I LAY.
Poem from Standing Alone (As I Lay)
Paul takes it to another level including someone to lie next to. I think the next best thing to the Peace and tranquility you get laying restfully next to someone you love is reading a poem like this one that evokes all those feelings. One where you can just daydream a little bit. Having a moment of peace, reassurance and for some people, to break down and have a good cry — I’m not the crying type but that’s something I’ll work out on my own. Anyway Paul Jones was born in Pine Bluff Arkansas. he served fourteen years in the United States Armed Forces; seven years active duty and seven years in the National Guard. He spent twenty-three and half years in law-enforcement. If anyone knows a thing or two about the importance of stress relief, solitude and lifes’ lessons it is Paul Jones author of a new book of poems called Standing Alone.
Paul Jones - Standing Alone is a book of inspirational poems).
Inspirational is a great word to describe this book. There are a number of biblical quotes in the book that accompany the poetic messages. The title poem is called Standing Alone.
Paul Jones - It’s a walk of faith and um, I think all of us encounter this where we feel all alone by ourselves.
As a precursor to the poem there is a quote from Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is you the Lord your God goes with you.He will not leave you or forsake.
Paul Jones - Paul reads the entire poem.
They’re the kind of poems that are there to make you feel good but sometimes they come with a heavy dose of reality.
Paul Jones - When you’re writing inspirational poems it’s gonna affect different people different ways and even one of my poems that said to some it’s gonna be blessing to some it’s gonna be a curse because, especially I found out today that a lot of people don’t want to know the truth and the Truth is in there.
It’s a book that inspires personal growth. It’s about helping you to get out of your own way and live life the way you know you’re supposed to live it.
Paul Jones - Young adults and teenagers would benefit a lot from Standing Alone and it’s an easy read. Poetry to me, you can’t read it once, you have to read it over, and over and over again.
If you find yourself struggling or in need of the biblical quotes and the poems in Standing Alone then you might want to consider this one. You can get everywhere including Amazon but don’t we already buy enough from Amazon. Your call but I would say visit his website — https://www.PaulJonestheWriter.com. You can learn more about Paul and see all of his books including A Flavor of Stories where the story titles are written on little spice jars. There’s Living Life: Poems to Live By, Jake Waking up to say Goodbye and of course Standing Alone.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram.

In this episode, my friend Gabiella Waterman shares techniques for building a strong, engaging presence on social media. Gabriella guides you to build relationships that will help your business grow and thrive.
https://youtu.be/aE4UBl0M8sY
About Gabriella Waterman:
When Gab was told that her “talking would be her Achilles heel” not only were they incorrect, but they were drastically underestimating her skills in building relationships and innate ability to connect the right people.
With a background in bookkeeping and sales, Gab knows exactly what it takes to grow your business as well as the pressures that can be involved. Most of what is offered in the networking and relationship building space today makes a lot of promises, but fails to actually deliver.
Through her passion for connecting people Gab strives to continue where others stop, filling in the gap between like and trust of relationship building to ensure you are making the connections that are going to help your business to not only be successful but to thrive.

In this session, I invite you to open your mind to do an interactive activity called a mind puzzle.
What do bears, birds, and stress have to do with mindfulness?
I share a summary of an article and a research journal that shared information about a normal process that our bodies go through. It caught audio static load. When our bodies are exposed to stress, challenges, and more challenges, the body begins to show wear and tear. As a result, the body is not given a chance to come back to baseline calmness.
Usually, our body wants to prepare itself to defend itself from stress, so there are many physiological, mental, and physical responses to protect itself. If our body is not allowed to come back to baseline, then stress-related reactions occur because the body is showing wear and tear on its systems; it's not allowed to relax and recharge.
This is where mindfulness and relaxation practice can make a difference in how we cope with our challenges and stress. I hope you enjoyed the session. Enjoy your practice.

Portuguese experimenter Anabela Cardoso is one of the leading experimenters in the field of Electronic Voice Phenomena, or EVP, and Instrumental Transcommunication, or ITC, in the world. She is with us for the third time to discuss her groundbreaking book, Glimpses of Eternity.
Anabela was one of the first female Portuguese international diplomats, and she had an illustrious career going when her pioneering work with ITC first came to light. Then she more or less had to choose. And we admire her so much for following her heart! Like Sonia Rinaldi in Brazil, Anabela Cardoso has had an amazing and much-admired career in ITC research, and we have been enjoying following her efforts as she produces ever clearer results.
In this video, we're going to talk about the secret that got left out of The Secret.
The Secret is all about manifestation, and while it's great for manifesting things like cars and money, it doesn't mention one of the most powerful manifestations you can do: Sex magic.
https://youtu.be/uB_-AS3hxts
Sex magic is the act of using your sexual energy to create what you want in life. It's a secret that's been used by some of history's most powerful people, and if you learn how to do it, you can create anything you want. Listen in as we discuss how this works and what is possible.

Marriage is a delicate dance between remaining who you are while being part of a couple. The choice isn’t either staying radically independent or becoming totally dependent. It’s about developing a healthy interdependence. But how do you do that? What does that look like? And what if your partner wants more of you? All great questions. Dating coach, author, and podcaster Joshua Sigafus is here to answer those questions and more.
If you struggle with finding this balance, Lesli can help. Please share the show with your loved ones on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Never in a million years did Meghan Dilley dream she would publish a book of poetry that involves all the raw emotion brought about by the trauma incurred after 2020. Her very steady and calm personality was challenged as she was diagnosed with moderate post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to the work performed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which festered April 6, 2020. Meghan saw things she never imagined she would see and those memories will always remain. Initially, Meghan thought she was fine as she had been through many physical and mental challenges in her life, but the horrific nature of this trauma set off PTSD symptoms. The trauma Meghan experienced caused triggers, which would cause her to revisit that day causing anxiety, trouble focusing, and severe noise hypersensitivity that was very difficult for her to explain. Today Meghan is ok with the new person she has become and has found solace in new spaces that take her away from the trauma of that day. Meghan began writing poetry; these poems are a very private look into the experiences and growth that she has made following the trauma. Meghan's hope is for her poetry to help others who may not understand their feelings during their struggle with PTSD as well as give a glimpse of this life to those who may not understand how it affects people. PTSD is not just a mental health disorder affecting war veterans; for Meghan it was seeing a great deal of death in one day and the inhumane treatment of these bodies without processing it at the time. It is about balancing the wave on a daily basis.
About Meghan Dilley: Meghan received her BA in English from Franklin and Marshall College in 2001 and after teaching for two years decided to pursue a career in physical therapy. She graduated with her DPT in physical therapy from Rutgers School of Health Professions, formerly known as The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 2009 and has been working in the field ever since. In her spare time, she likes to play sports, hike, be near water, listen to music, spend time with her two cats Vicki and Prescott, along with her foster cat Ellie, and be around family and friends.You can find Meghan's book, Hearing What I Hear, Seeing What I See: A Poetic Journey Through PTSD on Amazon and you can connect with Meghan on her website https://www.meghandilleyauthor.com/.

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Energy Master Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits which shares stories and messages from Spirit showing us that our challenges are not merely economic, political or societal, just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Sherianna Boyle a former guest of the show and author of her new book Emotional Detox for Anxiety which unlike most books that treat the symptoms wellness expert Ms. Boyle guides you to cleanse your life of anxiety with an emotional detox treating the underlying causes of painful emotion.For listeners who would like to hear the discussion Sherianna and I shared in her book Mantras: An Important Tool for Awakening previously go to www.sherylglick.com February 2018.As listeners of Healing From Within have come to expect over the years, my guests and I share intimate and insightful metaphysical views of both our physical and energetic aspects and come to know we are much more than our physical bodies and life must be experienced on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Sherianna Boyle will show us how to avoid a life of chronic worry, understand reactions to stress and doubt and experience an anxiety detox which is a symptomatic and mindful way to purge harmful thoughts.

It was not the church she went to but felt drawn into the building to just sit and be in the Spirit of the Divine. Sheryl suggests it was the energy of peace and love that called to her and the healing mission she had chosen for her life path, her destiny, a path that would eventually help her to discover her own talents and share healing with so many others.We find out what an Emotional Detox is and how vital it is to our health.

An emotional detox will allow you to truly feel your emotions, teach you how to take care of your feelings and provide a road map for living a happy fulfilled life.The purpose of an emotional detox is to allow yourself to discover the tremendous value of your emotions.

In this podcast we will discuss the 34-year history of the climate change hoax—how it got started; how the media endorsed it, hoping that scientific evidence would support what they believed; and how it was gradually exposed as science has disproved the hoax. Our discussion will include:
The UN’s IPCC;
The Santer Study (1995);
The Mann Study (“the hockey stick”) (1998);
Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth (2006);
Massachusetts v. EPA (2007);
The Minority Report (2008);
Climategate (2009);
The Paris Climate Accords (2016); and
The Green New Deal (2019).
There is no scientific consensus that humans are causing catastrophic climate change. No one can say that a consensus exists unless one is ignorant or dishonest. These things are discussed in the book by C. Paul Smith, The Climate Change Hoax Argument (available at www.cpaulsmith.com).

You're invited to tag along with a precocious girl named Gracie and her bow tie wearing dog, Sniggles, as they embark on a whimsical adventure, and meet new friends in The Mystery of the Blue Goo!
They have moved out of the city and into the suburbs. When they arrive, Gracie and Sniggles set out to explore their new surroundings. They meet a crow named Bob, Lucy the cat, Ziggy the squirrel, and Bumble, a wee little bee who has somehow been painted blue.
Bumble is sad because the queen bee will not allow him back into the hive because he is not yellow, like his fellows. The new friends set out together, following clues to try to figure out how Bumble was covered in blue goo, and what they can do to help him.
Gracie and her friends remind us of the importance of kindness, acceptance, and friendship.

The prayers include:•“I Am Prayer,” the Lord’s Prayer, as an affirmation;•Rosary describes your purpose and life journey; •Litany of the Christ describes your true nature; •Seven Stations of the Healing Cross shows how forgiveness leads to oneness with God and all of creation; and•“I Am Loved, I Am Loving, I Am Lovable Forever” a suggested hymn, and “The Greatest Prayer,” offer a tool to bless ourselves and the world.Happy People = Happy World offers insight into prayers and praying with the altruistic goal of blessing all of creation. Because, when we bless ourselves, we bless all of creation, uplifting it to higher vibrations of peace, awareness, love, and light. There is only one of us, the essence of the Creator/Source that underpins every aspect of creation, so, when we choose to be PALLSS (Peace Love, Light, Selfless service, Surrender) all of creation wins.

Michael Lee King
A Sack Full of Blood
Michael Lee King is the author of several books, The Greatest Mystery Ever Revealed: The Mystery of The Will of God (Book 1): The Image of God. The Greatest Mystery Ever Revealed: The Mystery of The Will of God (Book 2): Growing In Grace. The Greatest Mystery Ever Revealed: The Mystery of The Will of God (Book 3): The Obedience of Faith.The fourth book in the series The Mystery of Satan is due out shortly. For the purpose of this podcast though, we’re going to be talking to Michael about his book A Sack Full of Blood.
Bishop King was named after the Archangel Michael, one of the four archangels. Michael is the archangel deemed to be the chief of the angels and archangels and responsible for the care of Israel. The world’s great religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam refer to Michael as an archangel, so to be named after the archangel must be a great privilege in Michael Lee King’s eyes and those around him. Michael graduated in 1982 with a degree in Music Education from North Carolina Central University, in 1986 he further graduated with a Juris Doctorate Degree with honours from North Carolina University School of Law, Durham, North Carolina. The rigorous Pentecostal training he undertook to perfect his preaching’s was closely mentored by Elder Ivey L.Cowan, Elder C.F. Jones Jackson and Dr Gregg Singer. As a bishop in the Emmanuel Churches worldwide, he has executed immeasurable evangelism and missionary work in South Africa, Alabama in the U.S. as well as other developing nations. Publishing his books Bishop King’s aim is to strengthen his missionary work, teachings, that he has carried out around the world especially for those that hunger and thirst after the Word of God.
Michael is the third child of two preachers, Annie Lee and Nathan King Sr, he married his wife Angela in 1984 raised six children and currently has four grandchildren who both he and his wife dote on very much. Bishop King presently pastors Damascus Church of the Emmanuel Churches, performs bishopric duties for the churches founded by Bishop Leroy R. Mills in Florida USA, and works in teaching fellowship with Bishop Robert Lee Huey.Jr, Charlotte, North Carolina.

A Sack Full of Blood
A Sack Full of Blood is the chronicled recollection of happenings regarding the life of two run away twelve-year-old children Leroy Mills and Hattie Mae Caldwell. Both Leroy and Hattie dedicated their lives to the teachings of the Lord through Pentecostalism a charismatic religious movement that gave rise to several protestant churches in the United States in the 20th century.
The energy and the dynamic methods they adopted to bring about Pentecostal changes to the local communities they lived in by encouraging Christians, mainly among the black African American population who followed the more traditional religions of Baptists and Methodists to seek a post-conversion religious experience called” baptism with the Holy Spirit and Jesus,” was for me simply breath-taking.
For Hattie as a black woman not only did she have to comply with the Jim Crow Laws of segregation that existed at the time but equally she had to deal with the all-male dominated hierarchy that prevailed among the more traditional churches. It was Hattie’s unflinching domineering characteristics that brought about the changes with regards to women’s standing within the religious communities of America’s south, predominately in the locations she vociferously worked and lived in.
Life for Hattie was hard as she faced many uphill battles on numerous fronts to achieve her goals, but that in dominate spirit that was at the very core of her inner soul saw her through the toughest of times she faced in her life until her death from cancer in 1964 at the age of 61. One gutsy woman you might say who didn’t mind who she rubbed the wrong way as she fervently pursed what she perceived to be the Lord’s calling to he...
What if a close relative or friend was diagnosed with schizophrenia, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, autism, or anything else in the mental illness category? Where do you start to find answers to odd behavior? What medical issues should be ruled out before delving into the realm of mental illness?In her book, author Kim Hopkins discusses the symptoms that her son Cory had, the course they took to find help, and the reality of day-to-day living with a person encumbered by mental illness and physical disabilities. It is estimated by NAMI (National Alliance of the Mentally Ill) that 1 in 5 people suffer from mental illness. While her book is in no way a guide on how to navigate the mental health system in the US, it is a personal journey and a book you should read if a friend or loved one has unexplained mental symptoms or issues. While Kim & Cory's journey has had its ups and downs, they have always found room for laughter and seeing the lighter side of things. Come, take a look at the path they have taken together!
About Kim Hopkins: Kim has been a registered nurse for the last 46 years, BSN: CCRN; and is mother of a schizophrenic son. You can learn more about Kim and her son Cory on her website: ASchizophrenicsstory.com. Kim also shares her daily life with Cory on her Facebook page Shopping with a Schizophrenic.

We live in difficult times: domestic violence, terrorism, gross exploitation by various governments and financial institutions, ecological destruction, global warming………the list goes on.
We now know from major advances in developmental neuroscience that if there is significant abuse or neglect in the first three years of life, the results can be catastrophic. If we could only get those first three years of life right, a huge range of negative behavioral consequences would be reduced to more manageable levels……less violence, less terrorism, more empathy and compassion, more energy to apply to positive ends.
Compared with other health problems, the burden of child maltreatment is substantial, indicating the importance of prevention efforts to address this high prevalence.How can we ease and amend all this? What we need are programs to nurture the nurturers. When the author was being mentored by Aboriginal elders in Central Australia, they had to exchange dreams. The author dreamt about a Dreamtime ancestor whose task was to nurture the nurturers. But his domain extended to the entire planet. Wati Kanyilpai, the Dreamtime ancestor, begins his global journey from Central Australia. He looks after all nurturers, both human and animal, especially the mothers who nurture their infants. But his nurturance extends to anyone or anything who cares for other beings. What we need are Ministries in Early Childhood Nurturance. Departments that can identify mothers/fathers at risk and in stress, as well as programs to protect and nurture them. This capacity to nurture the nurturers, to look after all the beings who already look after other beings, is a vital task if we are to save this suffering Planet.
One of the most wonderful aspects of marriage is the deep connection that it allows. For many people, that means physical intimacy. Not just sex but affection as well. Unfortunately, too many couples feel disconnected from each other. Sex, if it happens, is mundane and often unsatisfying. That’s often because they haven’t invested in the relationship in other ways. Psychotherapist and Intimacy Specialist Debbie Marielle Elzea reveals how couples lose their way and what they can do to reconnect.
If you feel rejected in your marriage, Lesli can help. Also, please share this episode with those you care about on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Gardening is more than about planting your favorite vegetables and fruits. It is easy to go into the backyard, till the soil, plant a few seeds, and harvest the produce. I suggest that the process of gardening can be applied to embedding unique positive impressions in our time now.
Each day is full of opportunities to plant seeds of positivity and reap the harvest of the experience. We may not have benefited from starting with the best quality experiences to build positive reflections.
Maybe due to past experiences, we have accumulated mental or physical weeds. Our inner soul has been dried from droughts of kindness and compassion. I suggest nurturing the inner calmness deep within your inner being.
Cherish the awareness of one good part of your day. Build on that awareness and see the beauty of your inner garden in your mind's eye. Give yourself a smile and accept your beauty as unique. Enjoy your gardening. Enjoy your practice.

When COVID hit, I had to pivot hard from doing everything live. Everything I did with clients and business development t was done live. Speaking and networking events, to training and coaching my clients. The other thing I had to figure out was online and digital marketing.
As I reflect back on that time, I see how important it was for me to learn about the relevant technology and marketing strategies that I needed to use with my client outreach and business development. It all seemed to change overnight.
What I realize is how important it is for every working person to stay relevant and be aware of tech changes happening in the marketplace.

For years, many have asserted that there is a consensus among scientists that humans are causing catastrophic climate change that will destroy the earth. It has frequently been asserted that there is a 97% consensus among scientists about this. This is false. We will discuss four bogus studies that make this assertion, and we will discuss the scientific studies that refute and expose this.
In 2008, the House of Representatives released a Report the endorsed a report issued by the IPCC (supported by 52 scientists) that concluded that humans are causing global warming. Shortly thereafter (also in 2008) a Senate Minority Report was issued (supported by over 650 international scientists) that denied that humans were causing global warming. In addition, in 2008, 31,478 American scientists published a statement denying that human greenhouse gas emissions (including CO₂) are causing catastrophic disruption of the earth’s climate. We will discuss these reports.
The consensus argument is nothing more than a dishonest propaganda technique employed to stifle debate and to establish a lie by intimidating and silencing genuine inquiry. These things are reported in the book by C. Paul Smith, The Climate Change Hoax Argument (available at www.cpaulsmith.com).

Teresa Rowland
Blusher’s First Christmas
Illustrations by John Dunn.
Teresa Rowland lives in the Sydney area of Australia she has written this sweet children’s book about saving Christmas for all the children across the world. Santa Claus has hurt his leg and Rudolf has gone to the great reindeer haven in the sky. Saving Christmas is down to Mrs Claus and Rudolf’s daughter Blusher and her friends. Christmas and children mean a lot to Teresa Rowland hence the creation of this delightful book aimed at four to eight-year-olds.
https://youtu.be/WxS75Ok-qrA
The book is wonderfully illustrated with vivid pictures, pictures that any child would positively respond to, they’re captivating and imaginative. John (Jack) Thomas Dunn studied under H. Hanke at Sydney Royal Art Society; he’s illustrated numerous books for different authors.
Teresa started writing children’s books in her forties, her first book was called Chunky’s Coming of Age all about a little car journeyed on the roads on its own.
So, what’s Blusher’s First Christmas all about? Well, it’s a simple story all about Blusher a young female Reindeer with pink cheeks and the adventures she has with her friend Dumpee a short stumpy reindeer with rather large ears, there adventures in the woods and beyond are brought to an abrupt end as a crisis has arisen at the North Pole, Santa Claus has hurt his leg, Rudolf has gone to the great reindeer haven in the sky, and all the other reindeer that used to pull Santa’s sleigh across the sky on Christmas Eve are old and not up to the job any more. Enter Mrs Claus and Blusher who turns out to be Rudolf’s daughter, to save Christmas and along with Blusher’s girlfriends including Dumpee who all turn out to be the daughters of Santa’s original set of reindeer that pulled Santa’s sleigh across the skies on Christmas eve. Reindeer girl-power so to speak takes to the skies to save Christmas and make sure children across the world get their presents on time for Christmas morning all under the watchful gaze of Mrs Claus and Blusher.
An endearing little story, but a book that had the support of her husband Wal, daughter Barbara and son-in-law Stephen, son Mark and daughter-in-law Rachel, grandchildren Christopher, Kane, Brianna, Cory and great grandson Phoenix. To this list we must add members of the Camden Writers and Scribblers club, particularly Grace Sewell. Gayle Fairall, Jan and Evan Lepherd.

Paul Jones
Standing Alone
A Flavor of Stories
Paul Jones was born in Pine Bluff Jefferson County, a small town in the US state of Arkansas that lies to the south of the state capital Little Rock. He was raised by his mother who was a pivotal figure in his life. Today he lives with his wife Candice to whom he has been married to for fifteen years. He has two sons from a previous marriage, Justin and Jordan who as a devoted father mean so much to him, not to mention Brentley his Goddaughter who he dotes on to say the least.
At the age of fifteen Paul left home having completed high school, he served in the US Armed Forces as well as serving as a law enforcement officer and Prison officer. At the age of fifty-six he sees himself as retired with a new full-time passion in his life, writing. If you ask his friends how they see him in relation to cars they’d describe him as a ‘car nurd.’
Paul is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc, which is the first intercollegiate African American fraternity. It was initially a literary and social studies club organised in the 1905-1906 school year of Cornell University. Today its aims are, “Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All Mankind,” aspects that underpin the core of what Paul Jones as a man upholds and believes steadfastly in. Paul has a bachelor’s degree from American Intercontinental University in Criminal Justice, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude (with the highest distinction).
Several books have been written to which he rightly claims credit too, Jake Waking Up to say Good-Bye, and Living Life Poems to Live By. Paul has received numerous awards throughout his life and most recently the Trafford Publishing Gold Seal of Literary Excellence. However, for the purpose of this podcast we are going to look at two further books Paul Jones has written, and they are Standing Alone and A Flavor of Stories.
https://youtu.be/eaeS7mERv_4
Standing Alone
Standing Alone is a book of poetry that is meant to inspire and touch the living psyche (Inner-self). It’s a fusion of poetry with relevant biblical extracts. This collection of, for me reflective spiritual poems, is awe-inspiring, spiritually uplifting as you explore the underlying tones and messages that are beautifully embodied at the heart of each poetic text. A great and must read.
A Flavor of Stories
A Flavor of Stories is a book of fifteen short stories rather than poems with a hint of rhythm to them. Again, Paul Jones has underpinned the stories with deep and spiritual meanings. Why does Paul do this you may well ask? Well, the answer to that is simple. Paul is a Christian who hasn’t always adhered to the righteous paths and like most of us has deviated along life’s many channels some good, some not, but above all he has a deep-rooted faith that he wants to share and the best way for him to do that is through his writings. For me the last story in this book,’ A letter to My Friend,’ sums up the very essence of what Paul is trying to achieve through is writings especially when he talks about loneliness when you are surrounded by people and family, but you are alone. You feel God has left you to face your thoughts and demons all by yourself. “As I walk through the valley of shadows of death.” Like Standing Alone this is another great and must-read book.
So, Guess what! Give the books a read. Standing Alone is available in paperback, kindle edition and hardcover. A flavor of stories is available in Paperback and Kindle edition.

Based on the book First Poem of Words by Jef Harris.
Do what you love.
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
Celebrate life.
See the world.
Try to see the good in everything.
How many other good pieces of advice can you think of?
Today we are going to look at a man who embodies everything I just said. He’s a world traveler. He’s an author and a poet with a friendly voice. His name is Jef Harris and and on his website he writes — “poetry not only speaks from the soul but also from the spirit of a living God dwelling inside, who sometimes permits the soul to speak.” I love that. He’s written a book called First Poem of Words.
Jef Harris (Celebration of Words) The book is like a celebration of words.
Which explains the cover. It’s word art. You’ve seen collages of words before. Jef’s book cover is one of those. It’s field with words that have a double meaning and are fun to say like SING, MOON, MASSACHUSETTS, PEELED, PENETRANT, PASSION, MASK and SURVIVAL. When you open it up and start reading you find that this is not just a collection of words, it’s exactly what Jeff just said a minute ago. It’s a celebration of words.
Jef Harris (Each Poem is a Story). And each poem is like a story. It’s just a short story and the reader has to fill in the blacks.
Let’s take a look. Here is the first poem titled PARIS 1980
The street was too narrow
the bus was too big and
You parked like a toddler.
The driver couldn’t back
Us out of that crooked
Lane. He had to go forward.
It took four of us
To pick up your Renault
And sit on the sidewalk
I’m sure you must have
Been shocked mute when
You saw your car up four
And over eighteen inches.
Sorry, we didn’t leave
You a note. You wouldn’t
Have liked our reprimand
For lousy parking and
Inconsideration. Besides,
We couldn’t write it in
French, then C’est la vie!
Sommes-nous pardonner?
The French words are translated on the bottom to say, That’s life! and Are we forgiven? Hilarious. Who hasn’t been in that situation plus, I’m from Chicago and when I found Jef was too it made total sense and I had to read it. You know exactly what happened there….They lifted and moved a guys Renault Le Car in order to park a bus and the ending is the note they couldn't leave because they didn’t know how to write it in French. All the poems aren’t this short and simple. I picked this one because I liked the story and wanted to share it. Here’s one read by the author himself, Jef Harris.
Jef harris (Lead me) - This poem is called lead me and it's actually a lyric to a song that I composed and wrote. Lead Me
Through darkness that surrounds me.
Evil coaxing my hostility.
Temptations, overwhelming.
Borderline hatred in my heart.
Far beyond laughing demons dangling my desires from a string. They want to take my soul away.
They promise everything.
As their low lead feeds me.
Lead me.
Lead me.
Past the ignorance that delays me.
Trust that now betrays me.
Pain of realizing all those.
Faces aren’t of prophets.
Mere devils masked so saintly. Flashing hope before my eyes.
I’m lured to accept their passion.
Apt to believe their lies.
As their steel will bleeds me.
Lead me.
Lead me.
Getting his book published wasn’t easy.
Jef Harris (Not gonna happen) There was a time when I thought…I’m not gonna make it. It’s not gonna happen.
But it did. Lots of writing and revising and collecting and rewriting…
Jef Harris (The Process) I’ve been writing poetry for years. I started writing in elementary school actually and I just kept on writing and submitting and revising and submitting and revising…
And all the hard work finally paid off. His book was published and now it’s available everywhere. First Poem of Words. It’s a poetic travel journal of sorts. It’s designed to share his experiences but also to inspire with poignant t...
At the end of the year of 2015, an international conference took place in Paris to which the UN invited the leaders of all nations in order to make an internationally binding treaty about the necessary measures for preventing global warming. The political leaders on this globe have a last chance to prevent that cataclysm of which early signs are already visible everywhere, though to very different degrees. Precipitations fall less frequently than in former decades, and when they fall, they much more often cause floods that, by their immediate impact, more frequently produce destructions of a degree that, until recently, were unheard of. The number and extent of forest fires has drastically increased, as have hurricanes and tornadoes. And the sea level is rising from melting glaciers and ice sheets around the North and South Poles, so that island nations in the Pacific Ocean are on the brink of drowning in the surrounding seas.Facing the Environmental Crisis explores the wider problem of the environmental crisis from the scientific & religious perspective, since the climate crisis is only one component of it. Politics and economy have not yet faced the environmental crisis by what it takes, in order to avoid the destruction of human civilization. Facing it would require a new concept of economy that would give preference to sustainability over short time profits to which following the law of offer and command leads.Scientific communities are particularly accountable to the environmental crisis. For they address reality by theorizing that focuses on mere aspects of human experience as e.g. technical and economical success rather than on the reality of human experience in its entirety. Consequently, the industrial application of scientific theories have side effects outside of their focus of success that endanger the survival of life on this globe including human civilization.By their repeated public declarations on preserving God’s creation from human destruction, religious communities have addressed the responsibility that humanity has for preserving it from human destruction. Unfortunately, they usually have not been able to announce that their communities may be organized for executing nonviolent resistance against the continuous destruction of the environment, although contributing to it contradicts God’s commandment of preservation. Faith doctrines, however, require them to obey God rather than humans, e.g. bosses, in the case that they order their employees to contribute to environmental destruction. Religious communities have not faced yet that, by announcing their communities to become movements of nonviolent resistance against that destruction, they would gain a new credibility particularly among economists and politicians.You can find Facing the Environmental Crisis: Consequences for Scientific & Religious Communities by Dr. Hilmar Lorenz on Amazon.

I don’t know about you but lately my favorite place in the whole world…is my bed. Collapsing on that bed and letting all the stresses of the day melt away is my new favorite pastime! Check out this poem by Paul Jones. It’s called AS I LAY.
Poem from Standing Alone (As I Lay)
Paul takes it to another level including someone to lie next to. I think the next best thing to the Peace and tranquility you get laying restfully next to someone you love is reading a poem like this one that evokes all those feelings. One where you can just daydream a little bit. Having a moment of peace, reassurance and for some people, to break down and have a good cry — I’m not the crying type but that’s something I’ll work out on my own. Anyway Paul Jones was born in Pine Bluff Arkansas. he served fourteen years in the United States Armed Forces; seven years active duty and seven years in the National Guard. He spent twenty-three and half years in law-enforcement. If anyone knows a thing or two about the importance of stress relief, solitude and lifes’ lessons it is Paul Jones author of a new book of poems called Standing Alone.
Paul Jones - Standing Alone is a book of inspirational poems).
Inspirational is a great word to describe this book. There are a number of biblical quotes in the book that accompany the poetic messages. The title poem is called Standing Alone.
Paul Jones - It’s a walk of faith and um, I think all of us encounter this where we feel all alone by ourselves.
As a precursor to the poem there is a quote from Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is you the Lord your God goes with you.He will not leave you or forsake.
Paul Jones - Paul reads the entire poem.
They’re the kind of poems that are there to make you feel good but sometimes they come with a heavy dose of reality.
Paul Jones - When you’re writing inspirational poems it’s gonna affect different people different ways and even one of my poems that said to some it’s gonna be blessing to some it’s gonna be a curse because, especially I found out today that a lot of people don’t want to know the truth and the Truth is in there.
It’s a book that inspires personal growth. It’s about helping you to get out of your own way and live life the way you know you’re supposed to live it.
Paul Jones - Young adults and teenagers would benefit a lot from Standing Alone and it’s an easy read. Poetry to me, you can’t read it once, you have to read it over, and over and over again.
If you find yourself struggling or in need of the biblical quotes and the poems in Standing Alone then you might want to consider this one. You can get everywhere including Amazon but don’t we already buy enough from Amazon. Your call but I would say visit his website — https://www.PaulJonestheWriter.com. You can learn more about Paul and see all of his books including A Flavor of Stories where the story titles are written on little spice jars. There’s Living Life: Poems to Live By, Jake Waking up to say Goodbye and of course Standing Alone.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram.

Welcome to Newsgram.
Today I want to talk about your largest organ. That’s right, it’s your skin. You knew that right? Skin problems are the worst! They are right there, staring us in the face, daring us to stand up to them, so let’s do it!
Do you want healthy skin? I’m going to tell you how to get it and I’m going to do it without selling you a product. Seriously. This is not a skincare commercial.
So…if you are tired of fixing your skin issues with an Instagram filter? I use photoshop, Let’s find a better way to have real, true, healthy skin. It’s not hard. What’s hard is thinking I know enough about skincare to get you to sit and take notice. We’re going to let Amy Rae do that.
Amy Rae Sedler - I learned the whole medical side of skincare and I felt like something was wrong. When I was putting these chemicals and different products on peoples skin, it just wasn’t adding up for me. When I would do more Holistic things with my clients on the side I saw big changes.
Her instincts were pretty good because now, Amy Rae Sedler is one of L.A’s Top Aestheticians. Yes, I said Los Angeles, the place where celebrities live and yes, many celebrities have trusted Amy Rae but not for vanity reasons , however, this show is about you not them. You clicked not his episode so I’m hoping you have a particular interest in skin care. The answer is probably in her new book Secrets of Skincare: An Unconventional Approach to Healthy Skin. But, I have to warn you this is not a beauty makeover.
Amy Rae Sedler - It’s more for health than Vanity. Our skin can be a great watchman for what’s going on internally so when we learn how to read our skin we can take control of our health and our skin can be a great indicator of what’s going on inside.
The first thing she writes about are those harsh chemicals. She says if you wouldn’t eat it then don’ rub it on your skin. I’m paraphrasing but her experience shows that clean products are best. Expensive creams and medical-grade products are not the answer. What you want are products that are clean, organic and 100% safe. I could tell you specifically what ingredients to avoid but to be completely honest, I can’t pronounce most of them but they are all there in chapter one as well as where they are found.
Here is a great tip and I’ll just read from the book “…try to stay clear of things you breathe in as well, like air fresheners, fabric fresheners, car fresheners and things you spray in the air. They contain artificial fragrance that may be potentially harmful to your health. I always cringe when I’m in a public restroom and the little air freshener sprays automatically. I think, well, there is a little poison spray. Run out of the bathroom fast, kids! I like to breathe clean air, not chemical air, in the bathroom. We get enough pollution as it is without purposefully spraying poison into the air, Ugh!
I’ve been in my share of locker rooms and would have given anything for a little poison but I think you get the point. It may seem extreme but if you are committed to healthy skin it’s important to realize that there are lots of outside factors affecting us that we can’t control so be careful with the things you can control like Hydration.
I live in Arizona and I love the sunshine but staying hydrated is a daily struggle.
Amy Rae Sedler - A lot of us are walking around Chronically Dehydrated even though we are drinking water we think we’re getting hydrated. I have a whole chapter in my book called water solutions because when we aren’t getting hydrated properly our blood gets thick and soupy. There’s also another chapter called “Are you a raisin or a grape?”. If you think of a grape that is full of living plumped up water or a dehydrated raisin it’s kind of how our skin works.
A raisin…definitely a raisin…and her book goes way beyond drinking water. Did you know there are good and bad types of water and water bottles. Do you like coffee? Alcohol?
Bob Weatherly
Windows of Wonder:
Eight Timeless Tales for Today and Tomorrow
Bob Weatherly is from Florida in the USA; he’s been a deep-rooted spiritualist for as long as he can remember. Bob has a natural ability to tell stories something that comes across passionately in these somewhat quirky but intriguing eight short stories. He went to Mararishi International University as well as Longwood University where he obtained a degree in History. In the past he’s been a teacher and a park ranger two very contrasting careers you might say, nevertheless he enjoined these diverse pathways, to which we add his love of creative literature, hence his love of writing. He firmly believes that we and especially young adults/mature kids can all overcome our inner inhibitions and achieve the goals we set ourselves, be they big or small. For Bob the best way to subtlety convey this message to the younger generation was through his creative storytelling, hence his choice to write this children’s book possibly aimed at 9- 12-year-olds.
These fairy tales, ancient folklore, mythological adventure stories are written in a classical style and introduce kids to knights of the realm, damsels, aliens, witches, alchemists, Native American Indians, and other enthralling characters that lurk between the pages. All the eight stories are very different but seated at the heart of each tale runs a common theme and that is we can overcome our own unassertiveness to accomplish matters.
Here's a look at our video chat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3_-3uO98Eg
The stories are set out as follows:
Window One-The Magic Broom. A simple story of a how a boy swept his way from the stables to the King’s Palace.
Window Two-The Forest People. A story told through the characters Jim and Gem of town folk and the mystery people who lived deep in the forest.
Window Three-Sitting Brave. A story of Running Bird a Native American Indian boy who was different to the rest of his tribe.
Window Four-Daughters of the Moon. A story of one clergyman’s venture to find a wife and the witches he stumbled across along the way.
Window Five-The Mystic Knight. A story of Gaulipher’s adventures to become a knight of the realm and the monastery which was a little unusual to say the least.
Window Six- A Cosmic Cat’s Tale. A story of Cal’s relationship with his animals especially Midnight the young kitten he came across.
Window Seven- Mentallion. A story built around the characters Chance and Veda (the man of the ocean) Mentallion is the technology of the mind. It allows our thinking to transcend the borders of the known. A futuristic story.
Window Eight-The Seeker. A story! well I’m not going to tell you, read it for yourself.
Bob Weatherly admits that this book of his has a unique angle to it, I’d say quirky. He’s a strong proponent of human potential especially for kids, but above all he just wants kids and adults alike to enjoy his short stories. For me Sitting Brave was the best story but that’s because I have great affection for the Native American Indians. If as a child, you loved the adventures of Howard Pyle’s King Arthur and the knights of the roundtable fables then you’ll love The Mystic knight, for both stories have a similar vein to them.
Thank you, Bob, for giving me the opportunity to review your book which you can all view, share, buy, on the Amazon link below. You can also go to www.authorhouse.com or sales@authorhouse.com to order copies. The book is available in hardback or eBook.

“I am just not motivated. Maybe my meds need to be adjusted.” “I do many things every day but not the ones I know I need to do”. “Why can’t I get going on school work/that big project/my taxes?” Motivation, energy to get started and then actually starting, is a BIG issue in ADHD. My guest today is Dr. Tamara Rosier, an ADHD Coach and founder of the ADD Center of Western Michigan.
Her book Your Brain’s Not Broken explores the connection emotions have with ADHD, including how our emotions sabotage motivation. We discuss the 6 Murderers of Motivation and how to deal with them. It is core ADHD issue stuff! Listen and learn!

Research shows that married people as a whole have better and more frequent sex than singles. But that’s no comfort if you’re one of the many couples struggling with sex and intimacy. If you are in a sexless marriage or there is a big difference in your libidos, it can be very painful. And talking about sex is really tough for most couples. But, if you can’t talk about it, you can’t improve it. Searah Deysach, owner of the sex store Early to Bed, is here with some suggestions for how to get started.
If you are struggling with this, Lesli can help. Please share this important show with those you care about on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Anyone who has been to an excellent movie can experience many physical and emotional sensations images moving on the screen. Then after the movie is over, the memories last a long time.
I want to share the information I learned from a great experience I had not too long ago in today's session. I hope you will be open to taking away three tips that will enrich your mindful practice.
Next, I share my mission on what I am focused on for Transition Awareness Breathing.My goal is to provide validated information to improve a mindful life. I invite you to be curious to explore a new perspective on how you respond to stressors. During this session, I share the information from a comprehensive course by Sally Dickerson Ph.D. called "Understanding Yoga: From Neuroscience to Practice:(sallydickerson.com).
Dr. Dickerson's course was a dynamic and detailed presentation of the benefits of yoga and mindfulness. I hope your mindfulness practice will be enriched and motivate sustained practice from the three highlighted points I learned from "Understanding Yoga: From Neuroscience to Practice. In this session, I also share a brief mindfulness practice.
It's time for another monthly check-in with Dr. Erhard Vogel. In this episode, Erhard and I discuss what it means to experience it and know it. I share an example of how this happened in my own life with something as simple as burning myself with my curling wand (!). During that experience, I was able to let go of a false identity of myself because I chose not to believe the thoughts that wanted to interfere in my mind.Picking up on our previous episode, Erhard and I discuss interconnectedness and the feeling of isolation and suffering that is so prevailing in the world now. We discuss how this feeling of isolation causes so much pain and suffering and how you can start to value yourself sufficiently to give yourself the attention you deserve so you can direct your attention and energy to living a life true to yourself.As all my conversations with Erhard are, this one is truly enlightening and I know you will enjoy it! You can listen to my previous conversations with Erhard here:
Raise your Level of Perception to Free Your MindReality Is What Is Examining the Falsity about yourself does not necessarily have you live in Truth

More about Erhard Vogel: Erhard Vogel, PhD, is recognized as one of the foremost meditation and Self-realization teachers in the world. Born in war-torn Germany, Dr. Vogel immigrated to the United States at age fourteen. He graduated from the Pratt Institute of Design in New York, and at an early age rose to a respected position in a world-renowned architectural firm. At thirty-one, he set aside a brilliant career in architecture to devote himself to the service of humanity.For four years Erhard, as he likes to be called by his students, traveled the globe on foot. He lived in Europe, the Middle East, Afghanistan, India, Nepal and China, thoroughly researching the ways in which people of different cultures seek fulfillment. He saw the underlying need in everyone to fulfill their potential.In India Erhard met two of the world’s most renowned luminous Masters, who welcomed him into their midst and invited him to teach among the Himalayan sages—a rare distinction for a westerner. He lived for an extended period of time in a Himalayan cave in a remote sacred area. Living in utter joy and luminosity, Erhard remembered how so many people throughout the world suffer. He returned home to address the problems and aspirations of our contemporary society with his teachings. Following a lecture tour spanning the United States, Europe and Canada, he came to San Diego and founded The Nataraja Yoga Ashram, a not-for-profit organization.Erhard’s teachings are a unique combination of time-tested wisdom and pragmatic method. His fundamental, experiential and systematic approach is based upon sound psychological, physiological and spiritual principles that make meditation and Self-realization practical and attainable. Erhard teaches not from books nor from other people’s ideas, but out of his own profound life experience. Through his depth of knowledge he is able to inspire and gently guide sincere students to the experience of their limitless potential. With unconditional acceptance and unwavering respect for the Being they are, he inspires his students to recognize their real Self and to treat themselves with trust and kindness.Since 1969, Erhard has taught tens of thousands of students throughout the world. He continues to travel regularly to India and teach among the sages in the Himalayas, where he is recognized as a Master Teacher. He has authored three additional books: Self-healing Through The Awareness Of Being; Journey Into Your Center; The Four Gates: A Saga Of The Human Being On The Path From The Pit Of Despair To The Realm Of Fulfillment, From Confusion To Clarity, Culminating In The Deepest Realization; and A Dialogue With Death The Teacher Of Life: An Ancient Story For The Modern World,
- Gina Vincent - Self-Help is Counterproductive and Takes You Down the Wrong Path
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Satsuki
“Although difficult, change is always possible. What holds us back from making the changes we desire are our own limiting thoughts and actions.”
https://youtu.be/Y9OFV__Ao04
Check Out These Highlights: I chose this quote because it stated exactly the purpose of this show. Change may be difficult, and we are the only ones that can stand in the way of true happiness in our lives. However, you define happiness for you.
As I reflect on major life events, I realize the profound impact they have had on how I see the world and respond to it.
One of those crossroads for me was when I turned 39. I had two babies at home, chose to leave my safe full-time job and start my business. I’d say that’s a major crossroad…right?
The funny thing is as I opened my business, my inbox began to fill with emails about the law of attraction, all the universal laws, manifestation, and spiritual awakening. I still have no idea how or why those emails started then. I think I was ready for the many lessons that awaited me and that I would learn and embrace over the next 2 decades. I am fascinated and always curious to observe how divine intervention sneaks in and changes our life.

https://youtu.be/yKcFQ38qyWg
When I was in college many years ago, I double majored in Economics and Finance. Yes, you can call me a dork!
Even though I was unsure of what I wanted to be when I grew up and I knew that finance and economics were two important topics that I needed to understand to support my future business career.
Fast forward 40 years and understanding these two huge topics has served me well. I am excited about my conversation today, with my guest expert, Hunter Hastings. We are not going to have a boring conversation about economics. We are going to dive in and discuss a business’s brand, the secret of value creation, and economics in business.

Digging deeper in the scientific aspects of climate change, this episode provides findings reported in the book by C. Paul Smith, The Climate Change Hoax Argument (available at www.cpaulsmith.com). In this discussion we report and discuss scientific thesefindings that dispute and/or refute some widely accepted notions about humans causing catastrophic climate change.
We report and discuss the following scientific findings:
(1) Hurricane and tornado frequency and intensity are not increasing
(2) The frequency of extreme weather events and wildfires are not increasing
3) Polar Bear populations are not decreasing
(4) Emissions from the sun vary; they affect global temperatures; and they are not predictable; (5) Changes is cloud cover affect global temperatures, but they are not predictable
(6) Aerosols influence climate and temperature, but IPCC models do not account for them
(7) Human-caused increases in global temperatures ae small and are not major drivers of global temperatures
(8) Eliminating or significantly reducing the burning of fossil fuels would cause great economic damage and cause unnecessary health problems, especially for the poor and for undeveloped nations. The repression of these scientific findings has been quite successful, but it is beginning to be corrected.
Wow! Just when a mid-term election year looked rocky enough for the democrats, now you have President Trump suing many of the top democrats including some in government today!
Doc Holliday takes you into the fray of this battle for the truth by using some news clips that include an interview with Trump's lawyer and another one with a former White House official. No one could have ever believed the Russian hoax if it were written into a fictional plot, but now the truth tellers are bringing the battle to the liars in challenging them to the court room under oath for testimonies.

If “How can I level up my business, relationships, focus, or even just life in general?" Is a question that crosses your mind – you’ve come to the right place. On High Frequency Mindset we’re going to unpack those questions and find the solutions that will launch you into action for rapid, concrete results. You can check out other ways to level up right here on my website.
In this episode, my friend MJ Ross explains how important it is for all business owners to have an effective exit strategy to smoothly move to the next chapter in life. You’ll hear how she guides business owners for smart, effective succession planning in order to future proof their businesses.
About MJ Ross:
Mary Jo (MJ) Ross believes that every female small business owner should be in control of their business and not the other way around. These experienced entrepreneurs must break the cycle of their business owning them and win back their lives. MJ is on a mission to make that a reality for each and every person.
MJ knows all too well the realities faced by today’s small business owner. She, herself, was the executive director for 6 different state professional associations for 14 years, and owner of an association management company for 10 years at the same time. MJ realized that she had been worn down by travelling 26 weekends a year for years on end. There was no end to the cycle. Her business owned her. To stop, or even slow down, meant a literal end to her livelihood. Her business had become a lifetime sentence. No chance for parole.
Rather than become another victim, MJ decided to help herself, and in the process, commute the sentence of female small business owners and help them break this cycle of their businesses owning them. She became the mentor that she had needed all along.
MJ gained the training she needed to be a small business transformation coach and to become a bridge to help other business owners take their business from where they are now to where they want to be and helping them skip the pitfalls and lessons she learned along the way.
She is passionate about “future proofing” businesses for a successful future. As part of that MJ offers small business emergency planning, exit planning and succession planning.
Through MJ Executive Consulting, LLC, MJ also provides services which include workshops, masterminds, and 1-on-1 consulting.
MJ also has a passion for protecting children and is a volunteer for The Demand Project, which exists to eradicate human trafficking, online enticement, child abuse imagery, and the commercial exploitation of children through prevention, protection, recovery, and restoration.
She knows it happens everywhere, and realizes it is an uncomfortable topic, but believes it needs to be talked about to increase awareness and help break the cycle. It wasn’t that long ago that “cancer” was the uncomfortable topic, but that has changed in many cultures.

Eager to re-ignite the passion in her marriage, Jackie plans a getaway weekend at a quaint inn in the Pocono Mountains with her husband Jerry. The weekend was just what they needed—the perfect combination of steamy romance and time to really connect away from the grind of their busy lives.
During the getaway both are awakened after a series of strangely intense dreams. Jackie dreams about her romantic life, while Jerry’s foretell major economic shifts that impact global markets. While both are struck by the clarity of their dreams, they brush them off, move on with life as usual, and don’t discuss them with one another.As time passes and they return to their lives in Princeton they are both shocked as the events of their vibrant dreams begin coming true -- altering their lives, their romance, and international incidents near and far.

Eugene DeFriest Betit
COLLECTIVE AMNESIA:
AMERICAN APARTHEID
African Americans’ 400 Years in North America
1619-2019
Dr Eugene DeFriest Betit’s astounding historical book of America’s troubled past with reference to its fractious relationship with black Africa Americans over the past four hundred years is enlightening, informative and quite simply mesmerising. The research behind this book took Dr Betit five years to formulate, but it took him another four years having gathered all the historical facts to bring the book to its full fruition. However, he did write a further three books during those additional years again on a similar vein to Collective Amnesia, so perhaps we might let him off with the length of time it took to complete this masterpiece. For a white man to delve into and expose the issues that Black African Americans endured was at times hard for him to envisage let alone write about, nevertheless he did so, and the result is this remarkable chronicled publication impeccably written taking you on such an attested journey that for me was simply jaw-dropping.
One of America’s “original sins,” has been its convoluted issue around race relationships. For more than four hundred years America has struggled with racism, white supremacy and how to co- exist with the black African American community as well as other minority communities. The black African American contention some would say was born from the slave trade that was first seen in Virginia where Black African people were brought over from Africa and sold to rich white supremacists as cheap labour to work the plantations especially the cotton plantations. America today still faces endemic racism and the tensions between the white and black communities very often spill over onto America’s streets as acts of violence. A far cry some would say from President Thomas Jefferson’s pronouncement in the Declaration of Independence that,” all men are created equal.” Surely awareness and education play a major part in tackling racial inequalities something America’s founding forefathers envisaged. How did America find herself in this difficult place? Well let’s look at Dr Eugene DeFreist Betit’s book. Watch our video chat here:
https://youtu.be/V0HSaCqxuT0
Collective Amnesia takes you right back to the slave trade through the devastation of the Confederacy, followed by Emancipation and Reconstruction, The Freedmen’s Bureau, Race Laws and Segregation, the two world wars and The Great Migration, The Civil Rights movement up to the present-day tensions seen across America. All viewed from a black African American prospective by a white man: Dr Eugene DeFreist Betit
Here are some of the testimonials he has received:
“An important book for all Americans who want to know the whole of American history. Dr Betit chronicles the entire 400-year story of African slaves and their American descendants from colonial time to today. This book primarily focuses on the trials and tribulations of that long journey; a journey that must be learned by each new generation of both blacks and whites. Here in one book, today’s Americans can come to know that story.”
Dennis J. Quinn
Colonel, US Army (RET) and Former Instructor, National War College.
“Gene Betit’s deeply researched book describes various difficulties blacks experienced trying to achieve a place in white society when, even in modern times, acceptance has been grudging. However, the military has proven the black soldier equal to the white, and many of the civilian occupations are starting to open for them. The full integration of the nation, and thus our potential, can only be achieved when perceived ethnic, cultural, religious, and racial differences are subjugated, and that we realise that we are one people.”
Jim Locke
Lieutenant-Colonel, USA (RET)
“Collective Amnesia is both a testament of one people who refused to remain under trodden and a reminder of how quickly others ...
This is the inspiring, heartwarming story of a mother and daughter's 50-year journey through the world of cystic fibrosis. Leslie's medical prognosis was that she wouldn't live to be seven. Although people with gene-based diseases don't have spontaneous remissions, Leslie had one. And, despite the odds, she lived a fully functioning life to the age of fifty.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that causes problems with breathing and digestion. CF affects about 35,000 people in the United States. People with CF have mucus that is too thick and sticky, which blocks airways and leads to lung damage, traps germs and makes infections more likely and prevents proteins needed for digestion from reaching the intestines, which decreases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food. CF affects many different organs in the body, making people with the disease more likely to develop other health conditions. Dr. Julie Torres-Johnson shares her story of how she made the choice to live in the resonance of love instead of fear after Julie's diagnosis and the impact it had. Julie's amazing spirit and energy is not only inspiring but a great reminder of how we can all choose to live our own lives. Julie's energy was so contagious, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation permanently changed the name of their award to The Leslie Petrone Hopkins Women Who Take Our Breath Away Award.

Your business is part of your legacy. To some business owners, keeping it alive is a big part of their dream. Mitzi Perdue knows all about this; she speaks regularly on how to make your family business last across the generations. She joins Dr. Lycka to share some of her personal experiences and offer insight to help you keep your business alive for a very long time.

She started the family wine grape business, now one of the larger suppliers of wine grapes in California. Mitzi likes nothing better than to share insider tips for successful family businesses. Her family of origin (the one that started the Sheraton Hotels) began with the family business, Henderson Estate Company, in 1840, and her Perdue family started in 1920 in the poultry business. These two families have a combined tradition of 276 years of staying together as a family. Mitzi is happy to share actionable advice on how they created and maintained their family businesses.

We all have those moments in our lives where we need reassurance or, we might just want to break down and have a good cry. Standing Alone is a book of poetry that is meant to inspire and touch the living soul. From poems such as "Standing Alone" and "There for Me", both poems may have the same conclusion but one will reach that conclusion in their own special way. Paul's book is a must read for those seeking an elightneting poetic experience, grounded firmly in faith and the pursuit of truth.About Paul Jones: Paul was born in Pine Bluff Arkansas. Although born and raised in the South, his experiences have taken him as far as California, Germany and Honduras, to name a few. He has over fourteen years in the United States Armed Forces, as well as twenty-three years in law-enforcement. As a law enforcement officer, he has served as a member of S.W.A.T, bike patrol and school resource and a director of security for a local high school. He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. Delta Sigma Lambda chapter. He has a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from American Intercontinental University, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude.

School teacher Joseph Akeroyd was appointed Inspector General of Victoria's prison system in 1924. He held this role until 1947 becoming the longest serving Inspector General in Victoria's history. This book examines the experiences, achievements, and failures of Joseph Akeroyd, the longest serving Inspector General of Victoria's (Australia) penal system, in reforming that system. This is not a traditional biography. It traverses Akeroyd’s experiences in his time and reflects on reforms through the author's experiences as a contemporary prison educator.
Drawing on his education background, Akeroyd revolutionized the ways prisons and prisoners in Victoria were managed and many of these reforms are embedded in current practice. Access to his personal diaries, letters, official reports, newspaper reports, and other private documentation gave insights so his single-minded reform agenda establishing Victoria's unique relationship between education and prison management can now be recognized and acknowledged. There are many personal stories where Akeroyd interacted with infamous criminals. The examination of thwarted escape plans, rectifying wrongful convictions, recording the final days of those awaiting the noose, interviewing those about to be whipped or birched and following up after the events are moderated with contemporary stories of modern-day interactions between teachers and prisoner students- some humorous, some sad, some sobering.
Finally, this book will challenge all readers to reflect on the role of education in prisons, gain insights following stories of conversations with inmates, challenges in changing practice, involved in education, especially prisoner education, whether you are forming policy, advising policy and practice, delivering programs, supporting those undertaking studies, managing those who teach and /or preparing to teach in these unique environments to reflect on your own learnings and how to adequately prepare for those undertaking this vocation in the future.

Does silence make you uncomfortable? If it does, you’re not alone. Especially if that silence is coming from your spouse. Are they mad? Unhappy about something? Are they thinking about leaving?
These types of thoughts (and others) can crop up when your partner is silent. And if you don’t have a way to clarify what’s happening, you’re going to act as if this is the truth. Silence isn’t always a problem but how can you know? Psychotherapist and author Mel Schwartz offers some advice of how to deal with silence in your marriage.If silence or other communication challenges are part of your relationship, Lesli can help. Please share this important show with those you care about on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
The Crones introduced the Energies that they work with and discussed some of the basics of what they are. Today, the discussion turns to the last specific type of energy, the Ancestors.
The featured Witchstone Card is the last of the four Sabbats and Equinoxes which is the Autumn Equinox. Here’s another bit of practical magick you can try, Matchstick Spells. Finally, this week’s Witchy Tip focuses on Aphantasia which may explain why some of us struggle with visualization as part of ritual and spellwork.
What would it look like if we chose rest, instead of being forced into it, and how can we make rest a form of resistance in our everyday life?
Usually, we are busy in our everyday environment. Imagine you get a social media invitation to join a social media contact, and the contact person is you. Allow yourself to view your profile from a self-discovery point of view. I call this a profile point of view.
A profile point of view means stepping back and focusing on how you are responding to your environment. When we view our profile, there may be a tendency to be self-judging or overly critical. Remember that judging or approaching our self-discovery with criticism triggers blockers of developing a grown mindset.
I suggest viewing our areas of growth as discoveries to learn and grow. I like to visualize this in a shopper's terminology as there is still room in the shopping cart for more purchases. If our cart is too full, we may need to sort through the cart and take out barriers and negativity that cause clutter and a fixed mindset. Sometimes change causes us to discover how we respond to unchartered situations. We discover how to grow.

Welcome to Healing From Within! I am your host Sheryl Glick author of my newest book in the trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories showing us our challenges are not simply economic political or societal just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom and the laws of Universal Source. I am delighted to welcome Zen Honeycutt, Executive Director of Moms across America on how to ensure our food is free of contaminants.As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate experiences and insights as we try to improve the quality of health, emotional balance and a greater awareness of how energy and all aspects of physical and energetic life work together to help us in our personal and collective world growth. The more knowledge we gather about human challenges the more we are able to find solutions to improve the quality of life.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Zen Honeycutt will share how to ensure our food is free from contaminants. As the world population has soared, water and food sources must be protected and improved.Our current agrochemical food system allows hundreds of millions of pounds of glyphosate herbicides to be sprayed on our food crops every year. These herbicides have been found to contain heavy metals such as arsenic. Is there another ways to protect the crops without using these contaminants?We can and must avoid toxic baby foods and find the best foods for babies and young children. Avoid rice is at the top of the list because it has extremely high concentrations of inorganic arsenic. Arsenic is a natural element found in soil, water and air. Because rice is grown submerged in water, it is especially good at absorbing inorganic arsenic, the most toxic form. Because the milling process used to create white rice removes the outer layers, where much of the arsenic concentrates, white rice has less arsenic than brown and wild rice.Still, in the Healthy Babies analysis, four of seven rice cereals tested contained the most toxic form of arsenic in levels higher than the FDA's proposed action level of 100 parts per billion (ppb)."Rice cereal has six times more arsenic than other types of cereal, like oatmeal and multi-grain," Houlihan said.Toxic heavy metals damaging to your baby's brain development are likely in the baby food you are feeding your infant, according to a new investigation published Thursday.Tests of 168 baby foods from major manufacturers in the US found 95% contained lead, 73% contained arsenic, 75% contained cadmium and 32% contained mercury. One fourth of the foods contained all four heavy metals.Lead screening guidelines for children, pregnant women changed by task force One in five baby foods tested had over 10 times the 1-ppb limit of lead endorsed by public health advocates, although experts agree that no level of lead is safe.The results mimicked a previous study by the Food and Drug Administration that found one or more of the same metals in 33 of 39 types of baby food tested.Seems necessary to feed the baby pureed organic foods.???Moms Across America have launched the Mom’s Across America Gold Standard and one of the criteria for being awarded the Gold Standard is to have passed testing for heavy metals. They say they can’t wait for the government to do the right thing (example the EPA’s battle with California on labeling of products containing glyphosate and the USDA’s recent proposal to allow agricultural corporations to self-determine the safety of products) so Mom’s Across America has developed a stringent, 3-tier seal of approval that will assure consumers that the product they are buying and eating meets the highest, purest standards of safety and health for consumers and the environment.The good news is that we can make changes in our own lives and influence the way our food is grown with every forkful we eat. Women make 90% of the household purchases.
My guest today is Pete Zaborszky, creator of the new social network site Retalk.com. Retalk_ has one goal: To facilitate civil discussion between people in the political center, and center right (and center left if they engage in a civil way), about any topic.Pete and I talk about censorship & why he created Retalk_, we discuss the impact censorship has on all of us psychologically and how now more than ever we need to be able to have thoughtful conversations with each other online. We talk about how the woke voices are currently the loudest and their desire to get everyone in 100% agreement on every topic (which we all know will never happen). Pete shares what it's like to be the CEO of a free speech site and how sticking to his values helps him make decisions in those sticky moments. If you are tired of silicon valley censoring your voice (aren't we all?), check out Retalk.com, the fastest growing non-woke social network.

Check Out These Highlights:
It’s funny, my whole life I have been told I have a positive aura and high energy level. I have also been told I exhaust people due to that high level of energy. Yup, two sides of the spectrum.
Through the years hearing these types of descriptions has helped me pause and become curious as to how human connect and grow specifically through their exchange of energy. For me, energy is contagious, so I am mindful every time I am with people, so I can use my energy to inspire and energize, not exhaust them.
It has been a lifetime of practice and coaching as to how to use my strengths and natural gifts (my positive, and inspiring energy) to help others find their strength and light to shine in the world.

Welcome to “Healing From Within” I am your host Sheryl Glick a Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares a broad and bold view of these changing times to discover our problems are not merely economic political or societal but a separation from our spiritual inner sense of soul wisdom and the truth of being I am delighted to have with us today Dr. Brenda Bowers author of World Changers and Difference Makers who introduces solutions and a framework for you to maximize your potential as an individual and citizen of society. Dr. Bowers expertise lies in the areas of psychology, substance abuse and professional counseling with the goal of advancing a healthier society through a faith based and holistic lens.As listeners of “Healing From Within” well know, Sheryl and her guests search our inner landscape or subconscious memories to connect the physical and energetic essence of life so we may begin to know who we are, where life originated, and how to process the challenges of our everyday life experiences. Indeed as spiritual beings having a physical life we are complicated magnificent beings who are capable of creating through our thoughts and actions the world as it exists now and in the future.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” we will consider being aware as a neutral state. It isn’t a right or a wrong, nor a negative or a positive, it’s simply neutral. It is the process of becoming heightened about your own character and coming into yourself by recognizing your motives — motives that are not driven by anyone except you. Can you exist separate and distinct from everyone else in your life and still define who you are? It’s a critical question and Dr. Brenda Bowers will direct us to find thoughts that can help us discover who we are and how to make a difference in living a life of purposeful action.Sheryl asks Brenda to think back to her childhood and remember a personal event that may have signaled to her or others what their interests and lifestyle would reflect as an adult and Brenda immediately thinks of her father who helped her be open and gracious to all living things. She tells us the story of a fishing trip and writes, “Maybe it was somewhere around the age of nine when my dad took me fishing and nature exploring. He blindfolded me, turned me around numerous times, and told me to find my way back to his truck. On this particular trip, I encountered a bull and a herd of deer that looked like they were having a meeting that I was interrupting. I saw many other creatures along the way and despite having never seen or heard of it, I found myself as a young Doctor Doolittle in the making. I was too young and naïve to be afraid, but obedient enough to see the given task through to the end.Did this create fears for me? Absolutely. I did not understand what they were, but it was probably at that time that the spark of self-awareness began to come through and actually became a gift inside of me. Self-awareness is an important theme of this book and your future. Conversely, when I came upon the deer, it appeared as if they were in a meeting that I somehow got caught in the middle of without an invitation; as if the election had just finished and they were debriefing about it. They looked back at me and I looked at them and in that second, that experience had a differentiating factor. That factor was understanding how I was going to relate to them and vice versa.The choice that I made in seconds was to stay calm and use my words. I said, “I’m so sorry to be interrupting whatever is going on here. All I’m trying to do is get back to my dad’s truck. I’m sorry if I bothered you.” And it appeared that they understood because they just let me walk through and walk away. Every differentiation in the experience of getting out of those woods gave me strength to continue to be “different.” It gave me a contradiction that allowed me to embrace...

Creating a Sacred Practice That Works
Why do we need a sacred practice? When we feel separate from our higher power, that separation shows up in our lives as lack, pain, and suffering. Participating in a daily sacred practice that fits who you are will allow you to create in a more powerful way, feel more at peace, and know that you are safe no matter what challenge may appear in your experience. As a spiritual renegade, your sacred practice needs to be flexible, fun and innovative like you.

The second in a series of three discussions that takes a look at the scientific aspects of climate change. We’ll talk about findings reported in the book by C. Paul Smith, The Climate Change Hoax Argument (available at www.cpaulsmith.com). Specifically we’ll get intoI scientific findings on the effects of CO₂ emissions on climate, including the following:
(1) CO₂ is a scarce nutrient in the atmosphere that is necessary for plant life
(2) Current levels of CO₂ are about 400 parts per million (ppm)
(3) We do not have too much CO₂; higher levels of CO₂ cause increased crop yield
(4) Commercial greenhouses keep CO₂ concentrations at 1200 ppm
(5) There is no direct correlation between CO₂ increases and global warming
(6) human-caused CO₂ emissions are about 5% of total CO₂ emissions; underwater earthquakes and volcanic activity cause most of the CO₂ emissions
(7) CO₂ increases do not cause rising seas
(8) Eliminating the burning of fossil fuels would have a negligible effect on reducing global CO₂ emissions. Some of the world’s leading scientists support these scientific findings.
Thousands of scientists dispute the claim that humans are causing catastrophic climate change. The repression of these scientific findings has been quite successful, but it is beginning to be corrected.
Join Doc Holliday as he discusses the truth that all Americans should know about high gas prices. As Doc discusses the rampant inflation hitting our gas pumps he also discloses lies and disinformation coming from the White House about gas prices. But Doc does not stop there when it comes to the mainstream media misleading its followers. Doc also brings up the New York Times recent story about the truth of Hunter Biden's laptop computer. In so many ways the left has promoted lying and keeping the truth from Americans around our country and Doc doesn't hold back in his distaste for these shameful episodes of media malpractice.

THE BLUES IN BLUE is the story of Vaughn LeMon’s life and the things he went through in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He is a black patriotic American man who became a state police officer for a northeastern state.
The things that are happening today are so eye opening because they are parallel to what it was like for the author so many years ago. LeMon has seen so many black and brown men and women and indigenous people being killed and brutalized by police officers who seem to show no regard for the law or for the life of others.
The situation goes back to how officers are being trained, and how society is becoming tolerant of these incidents. Also, some of the attorney generals and police unions are giving officers a false sense of security that it’s ok to beat up people. The message is that an officer can shoot people of color, brutalize people of color, and we will back you up.
Some, not all of them, are fighting for these rogue officers in court so that they can get away with it. You see what’s taking place, are these police officers have a pistol on their side, they are loaded with bullets, they are wearing their Kevlar vests, they have their blackjacks, they have their tasers, they have batons, and they have their spray and they’re attacking unarmed citizens, and then saying well, we were afraid. They are packed and stacked like a superhero. The only thing that is missing is a cape on their backs, and they have all these weapons on them. With all this weaponry they are supposed to serve and protect.
Then why are they killing people of color for seemingly no real reasons at all or minor reasons such as class D or class E felonies? Why so much blue on black crimes? Why?

Author Brenda Miller believes that everyone has a right to peaceful parenting, and that kids have the right to peaceful parents. Brenda’s book offers 100 strategies to give parents and kids “right now” relief. Her book and its one hundred "30 Second" parenting strategies take the anger and confusion out of parenting and bring us back to sanity and love as a natural response - no pretending, and no (or less) hollering, complaining, demanding and mumbling nasty stuff under our breath.
When used long-term, long-term patience and wisdom show up, and short-term craziness vanishes; or at least makes fewer, less stressful appearances. When you use these strategies, you'll find that they give you and your kids 'right now relief'. To go from chaos to calmness in 30 seconds is nothing less than a miracle!
You can find The Kid Code: 30 Second Parenting Strategies by Brenda Miller on Amazon. Brenda has also authored three other books: Blessing Mistakes, Bullyproof Yourself and Your Kids and Mr. Tuskerelepha's Secret Secrets.

I am so pleased to present the 100th episode of the Transition Awareness Breathing Podcast. I wanted to make this series episode very special. I began to think about how Transition Awareness Breathing started. That's what I had in mind when I decided to select a guest on our show today. I
f it had not been for this extraordinary guest, Transition Awareness Breathing would not even exist; it would not have been a thought on my mind. I would like to reflect and accentuate the positive when going through challenging and scary situations. We think we are at the bottom of the pit with no help in sight. We realize a power higher than ourselves has placed pieces of life's puzzle strategically so that a message can be shared which would benefit at least one person. (BH') And I know one person for sure that Transition Awareness Breathing Podcast has made a difference in his life, and that person is my son.
On this show, he is helping me make this one-hundredth episode a very special podcast. And in addition, I am pleased to share some exciting news. Transition Awareness Breathing is now available as a Web app. Do you believe that Transition Awareness Breathing has made a difference in your life? In that case, I invite you to experience the educational sessions on a more frequent basis and enjoy the personal guidance that will help you, your family, and your friends bring awareness and calmness to your everyday life.

Welcome to Healing From Within, I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki empathic Master Teacher medium and author of the last book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening exploring awakening of higher consciousness transformation to higher levels of functioning and transcendence or knowing that our soul energy is eternal and evolving at all levels of being. Today I welcome Rev. Stephanie Red Feather an ordained Shamanic minister and author of The Evolutionary Empath which shares that being an empath is a real thing and you are not alone in your experience of the world as you conquer the pitfalls and sensitivities of being an empath employing your gifts to create healthy boundaries for living authentically from your heart center. Rev Red Feather relays her wonderful journey through all aspects of energy healing and the traditions of ancient Peruvian Shamans to merge science and spirituality in a dance of love.As listeners of Healing From Within are so well aware Sheryl and her amazing guests have traveled the world and beyond in search of truth of our human and divine essence so we may be able to live a healthy productive purposeful and joyful physical life experience. It is by understanding the duality of our physical and energetic forces of life that we can move beyond the fear and limitations of societal training to access higher consciousness which truly lets us handle challenges in a more accepting and loving way.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Rev. Red Feather the founder of Blue Star Temple who holds a degree in mathematics and masters and doctorate degrees in shamanic studies will share with us her own journey as an empath who has experienced firsthand the challenges of being extremely sensitive to subtle energies and the emotions of others. She will offer advice on how to manage life’s difficulties as an empath and how these qualities are vitally important in the future of humanity.We are all familiar with the term empathy but what exactly is an empath? Empaths are those who have been called too sensitive or emotional. Empaths have abilities of perception that others don’t possess and who have probably even been ridiculed for them. It’s for those who know that you are different but can’t find your tribe or figure out where you fit in.It’s for the nurses, massage therapists, shamans, intuitives, artists, health care workers, energy healers, mediums, coaches, therapists, counselors, psychics, and change agents. And it’s for the scientists, engineers, pharmacists, computer programmers. military members, factory workers, advisors, lawyers, teachers, politicians, waiters, and bankers. While most conscious empaths fall into the former group there are plenty of closet empaths in every walk of life. Since empathic qualities don’t usually jibe so well with more conservative left- brain type environments these people have forced their special qualities so far down that they no longer remember their true nature. Yet buried or not, they are still plagued by difficulties and challenges as a result of their empathic nature.Empaths often struggle with the following challengesDrawing boundariesExperiencing codependent relationshipsFeeling overwhelmedTaking on everyone else’s emotionsStanding up for themselves or saying noAddiction to alcohol drugs food sex or patterns of behaviorsFeeling extreme sensitivity to any amount of disharmony in their environment ( people or things)Becoming overstimulated from noise, light, scents, too much information or too many peopleAchieving adequate self -care and energy hygiene practices.Empaths may also have the following qualities:Strong intuition or psychic abilitiesAn ability to perceive subtle energies of the unseen realms or see angels apparitions of the deadA predisposition towards paranormal experiencesAn uncanny ability to tune in to other people’s emotions and feelings -Clairvoyance (clear seeing)clairaudience (clear hearing)clairsentience (cle...
Fear may be the most powerful emotion we experience. It may even be stronger than love. One thing is for certain, it rears its ugly head way too often in our relationships. Fear keeps us from sharing our deepest thoughts and intense emotions; just what we really need to do to have the love we want and deserve. John Kim, Life Coach and Marriage and Family Therapist, reveals how you can conquer fear, take back your life, and find contentment and acceptance in your marriage.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Dalai Lama
“Open your arms to change but don’t let go of your values.”
https://youtu.be/i3xhs1MYbhA
Check Out These Highlights:
As I prepare for the show. I usually start with my guest’s topic and then go look for a quote that sets the stage for the episode we are recording. For today’s show, I loved this quote because the show is all about embracing and navigating changes that happen in life and business.
I also like the component, in this short quote, about values. As I reflect and think about my own personal life stages and changes, I know that my core values have been tested repeatedly. For me, my values have guided me to leave jobs, take new jobs and ultimately for me to open my business over 20 years ago.
What are your core values and how do you honor them in your life and business?

The Crones introduced the Energies that they work with and discussed some of the basics of what they are. Today, the discussion turns to the third specific type of energy, the Old Gods.
The featured Witchstone Card is the third of the four Sabbats and Equinoxes which is the Summer Solstice. Finally, this week’s Witchy Tip focuses on basic Fire Safety which is always a good reminder for ritual practices.
What does health and well being mean to you? Preventative healthcare is a hot topic these days as most of us are doing everything we can to stay away from doctors and hospitals. 2020 was a wake up call to many and we continue to see how what was once thought of as "health" care is really more about getting people addicted to a system that keeps them customers for life. Do you want to live that way? I know I don't. What if there was a different way? My guest on this episode is Sunita Passi, author of the book "The Doctor Won't See You Now, Staying Healthy While the Medical System is Re-Booted". Sunita is an Ayurvedic specialist and shares her knowledge of the 5,000-year-old world of this Indian healing system. I think many of us can agree, it’s time to heal healthcare. We as individuals will have to take greater responsibility for our own wellbeing, and have a say on those issues for people in our lives. Current models are broken and antibiotics can’t keep up with illnesses resistant to them. A 2018 study by John Hopkins Institute rated the medical system as America’s third largest cause of hospital deaths. And a lot of the drugs used are based on science that hasn’t been replicated and is sometimes questionable. There’s a lot of talk about complementary medicine, but much of it looks like woo. How do you cut through that and find a way forward for you and those you love at a time when money is set to be tight?
A new perspective on health will allow you to make a greater range of choices. Western medicine offers incredible advances, for sure. But the word ‘advance’ supposes what was before is somehow redundant. Many medicines are based on herbs and plants used by cultures worldwide for their healing properties, and it’s likely that the Ayurveda system developed over centuries in India is the world’s oldest cohesive approach to wellbeing. We’ve seen fragments of it spun off in the form of yoga and mindfulness, often out of context. The core to Ayurveda is balance and using portions of its approach to be a better functioning cog in the modern machine economy shows a lack of wisdom. With increasing talk of a reset, now is the perfect time to look at what that means through a new – and ancient – lens.
If you are looking for true alternatives outside of the "healthcare" system that has been forced upon us, you won't want to miss this episode. I think you might be surprised how easy it is to put yourself in the driver's seat and take control of your own personal health and well being! Sunita offers a range of solutions for anyone, anytime on any budget. As a special offer for Create What You Speak listeners, Sunita is giving $50 off her Reflect | Ayurvedic Consultation. Just mention you heard her interview on the Create What You Speak Podcast when booking!

The transition from childhood to young adult is never easy.
When a man’s young son asks him for help in overcoming his fears for an upcoming baseball game, it sends his father into his basement, where he revisits the summer that his friends, baseball, and a girl forced him to learn that he could no longer play games.
David is a talented baseball player and soon-to-be high school junior who doesn’t want to follow the same path as many other athletes and adults from his hometown. His desire to seek a better life for himself is conflicted because of his loyalty to his best friends.
His personal life at home is not as it appears, and the only ones that can give him comfort are his friends and a girl named Becky. David struggles through a summer of important lessons in family, friendship, baseball, and love, only to discover that we often already have what we desire in life; we just have to fight for it.

Have you wondered about the validity of climate change? In this podcast you’ll hear from author C. Paul Smith, about his book The Climate Change Hoax Argument.
We’ll unpack scientific findings that dispute the popular narrative that humans are causing catastrophic climate change that will destroy the world if drastic and expensive measures are not implemented within ten years. (Actually, its down to eight years now.) Although this view is accepted by the Biden Administration, the media, and many educators — thousands of scientists dispute this. There is no scientific consensus that humans are destroying the planet by the use of fossil fuels. That narrative is a hoax. Tune in as we expose the hoax.
You’ll come to understand what the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is and how it has taken the lead in promoting the human-caused climate change view, and that the IPCC has manipulated evidence and exaggerated its desired, pre-determined opinions in order to mold public opinion. In upcoming episodes we’ll dive further into this.
Scientific evidence shows:
(1) There have been small increases in average global temperatures, although from 2000 - 2010 the average global temperatures did not increase;
(2) There are some benefits from warming;
(3) Increases in CO₂ do not cause warming. These factors have led the climate change supporters to abandon their “global warming” banner and to rebrand their movement as “climate change.”

Based on the book Joseph Akeroyd: Rediscovering a Prison Reformer by Ron Wilson
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
When a crime is committed we want justice. We want it swift and we want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. We have a system of laws that are there to make sure the proper punishment is rendered in accordance with the law. We've created penalties for criminal conduct and we seek to rehabilitate criminals through incarceration.
How often do you think about what happens beyond that. When the bars close. What is happening to the person locked up? We don’t really care right? I mean, the perpetrator has been dealt with and justice has been served but what about rehabilitation? Aren’t these people supposed to be punished to the degree that they will realize the error of their ways? Once educated, depending on the severity of their crimes, they are then rereleased back into society.
It’s a complicated issue.
I came across a book written by Ron Wilson that focuses on the system of Justice in Australia. It’s titled Joseph Akeroyd: Rediscovering a Prison Reformer and in it, he writes about a man who moved directly from the education system to become Inspector General of Victoria's prison system between 1924 and 1947. Yea, he was there a long time and during his administration prison was run like a school.
Wilson: What happened in the way that prison education was managed in Victoria at that time was so different from other jurisdictions in Australia but also quite different from other jurisdictions in the world. Each prison was in fact a registered school. It was funded by the education department it was staffed by the same teachers delivering the same curriculum and programs that were happening in the much broader community.
So how did all this evolve? Ron set out to find the answers and he first had to understand who Joseph Akelroyd was.
Wilson: He was a man who came into his role with the strong commitment to saying, as an educator using the principles in terms of education principles and the principles of teaching this is the way that prisons should be managed they should be managed on the principles of education and the principles of teaching.
Fundamentally people are put in jail to be punished for their crimes. That has always been the case but in order to reform these criminals Akelroyd chose to learn more about them.
Wilson: Akelroyd , in his educational principles said, what we’re going to do is start to have a look at why these people are in prison . Look at the man, what’s the background, what’s happened to this man that he’s ended up in a prison environment.
He set about making important changes. He implemented a treatment based approach rather than a punitive one. But change never comes easy. The system of justice at the time required punishment for crimes committed. Punishments like whipping and hanging, and he was responsible for making sure that punishment took place. So where is the teaching moment?
Wilson: He started to have conversations with criminals who were about the be whipped. He would have a conversation with them before the whipping, personally he would do this, and then after the whipping but he would ask the question, he’s got this recorded, he would ask, what did you learn from this experience? With those guys who are about to be hanged he would apply a similar sort of structure, now he couldn’t have the conversation with them after they’d been hanged but what he did do was have the conversations with other prisoners around saying, what did this experience with you being so close to a hanging, what did it tell you? What did you learn from that? So he would have those conversations.
Utilizing his education background, Joseph Akeroyd revolutionized the ways prisons and prisoners in Victoria were managed with lasting results. Many of his reforms are still around today.
I found this book interesting because it not only talks about Akeroyd's...
Based on the books, The Wildly Whimsical Tales of Gracie and Sniggles by Teressa Hill
It’s story time kids! Are you ready to solve a mystery? Why not. Let’s have some fun. From time to time here on Newsgram we like to take a moment and wander down the magical path of childhood wonderments. Today the path leads from the city to the suburbs where we find Gracie and her dog Sniggles - who is wearing a very smart top hat. They just moved out of the city and are all set to explore their new home in Teressa Hills’s The Wildly Whimsical Tales of Gracie and Sniggles: The Mystery of the Blue Goo.
Teressa - In mystery of the Blue Goo they have to get to 555 Bubble Bee Hive to get Bumble, a little Bee who has accidentally been turned blue and is not accepted by the queen in the hive because he is not the same color as all the other bees in her hive so they figure out what the mystery of the blue goo is.
That’s Teressa who created Gracie, Sniggles and all the other friends they make in their home. There’s a crow named Bob, Lucy the pink cat, Ziggy the squirrel, and of course Bumble the little bee who has somehow been painted blue by Mr. Finklestein. Fun characters…and like all great children books this one comes with a message. Gracie and her friends remind us of the importance of kindness, acceptance and friendship.
Teressa - That’s what I hope my book does is connect with a child to help them navigate the maybe difficult situations or challenges they may face in their futures.
While learning some valuable lessons kids will have fun with these characters as they embark on their various adventures. As a parent, you will not only appreciate the tolerance and compassion that the characters demonstrate but you’ll have fun reading it because it’s written in rhyme.
Teressa - I think we all have funny voices that we use with babies and with animals and when I speak to my animals I kind of talk to them with this rhythm and rhyme and I’ve had friends over the years say, you’ve gotta do something with that and I come up with little nicknames and things as such and I that’s where all kind of got started.
To give you an example here she is reading a segment from one of Gracie and Sniggles different adventures. This is a halloween adventure called Boo Who? where Halloween has just been canceled. What to do?! Sully the snail delivered the mail and in it was a note from Annie Mc Fannie telling of the bad news. Well…you remember Mr Finkelstein, the guy who inadvertently painted Bumble Blue in the previous adventure…well it turns out he’s a pretty smart guy so the gang along with their new friend Boo Montague, a fearful little ghost, set out to find out why Halloween has been cancelled.
Teressa (Excerpt)
There you go..you can solve the mystery of the Blue Goo and then head on down to Scaredy Pants Path, it’s over there by Fairies Forest, and then it’s onward to Trick-or-Treat Trail while you search for Creepy Street. Confused? You won’t be when you see the beautifully illustrated — The Wildly Whimsical Tales of Gracie and Sniggles by Teressa Hill.
Teressa - As an advocate for Children and for Animals I do give to charities with my royalties that I receive from my books. 100% of my royalties from the mystery of the blue goo go to St. Judes children hospital.
Another great reason to add this one to your collection. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com

THE DEVIL’S DICE
DEAD MAN’S DAUGHTER
CUT TO THE BONE
Roz Watkins is a crime thriller writer who has a substantial readership following, and her books have been in Amazon’s top selling category. Roz created the character Detective Inspector Meg Dalton and based the crime scenes in the Derbyshire Peak District from where she herself comes from in the UK. Like most author’s the ideas and scenes come into her head as she walks the many trails that criss-cross the Derbyshire Dales a natural beauty spot in the UK. Accompanying her on these rambling ventures as she conjures up the murder plots are a motley crew of exacting animals.
Life for Roz Watkins hasn’t always been about writing, although right from childhood she was a voracious reader devouring books. Newnham College at Cambridge University one of the world’s most prestigious places of learning saw Roz reading engineering, odd you might think when you consider what career path she eventually chose to follow. Patent law was her eventual destination rising to a partner in a firm of patent attorneys in Derby before becoming the author of the DI Meg Dalton crime thriller series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pI5Zq0kLCY
The series has three books so far and Roz has a contract to write three more. The first book The Devil’s Dice was short listed for the CWA (Crime Writers Association) Debut Dagger Award and has been optioned for TV.
The Devil’s Dice was first published in 2018 and was Roz Watkins’ debut book as she dipped her toe into the world of criminology. An attorney is found dead with lacerations to his face. DI Meg Dalton has been assigned to the case. Right from the onset she believes that this is a cold calculated murder, but what does the reference to the grim reaper and the victim’s initials carved in the cave wall above the body allude to? It appears that the murderer plays games with Meg, staying one step ahead of her. So, the dice is loaded.
Dead Man’s Daughter (2019) the next in the series described by The Times as ‘Absorbingly Impressive,’ sees DI Meg Dalton having to come to terms with her own beliefs about the truths behind this chilling murder case that involves a ten-year-old girl and her memory loss having discovered her father’s body in the family home. As events unfold evidence points to the girl’s own involvement in her father’s demise. This story has so many twists and turns to its plot like every good crime thriller should have, a real page turner. The pressure is on for Meg to get to the bottom of this case before the killer strikes again.
Cut To The Bone (2020) is the third book in the series, Elly Griffiths, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lantern Men, ‘I love Roz Watkins’ books, she’s one of the best crime writers out there.’ For me this atmospheric book was the most absorbing, all about a young media star who goes missing, but who’s behind the disappearance? DI Meg Dalton is up against it to solve the issue before online threats erupt into real-life brutality. This is a testing case for Meg particularly as the media are breathing down her neck for an outcome. Hair and Blood found in a pig trough in a local abattoir raises the game and adds to the pressure Meg finds herself under. Is Violet Armstrong the Internet celebrity alive or dead?
Roz is currently working on a standalone book, The Red House.
Roz Watkins is published by Harper Collins www.HarperCollins.co.uk you can find her book in all the big book stores in the UK as well as online at Amazon, Waterstones, WH Smith’s, for those of you who live outside the UK you can head to your usual source of where you get your books. Amazon.com would probably be a good place to search.
To learn more about Roz Watkins and see where you can get her books from head to her webpage www.rozwatkins.co.uk have a look at the photos on the page to see where the character DI Meg Dalton comes from.
Equally you can get in contact with Roz via her agent.
Based on the book "Orders from the General: Leadership Advice from a Two Star General".
Let’s travel down the path of Self-Improvement today. On our virtual stroll we’re also going to talk about leadership. Now, if you listen to Newsgram, then you know it’s not going to be a traditional path but I believe we should never stop learning and we should never stop trying to better ourselves. I also think that leadership takes on various forms. It’s all about where you are in your life and what you choose as your particular destiny.
You clicked on this episode and probably had no idea how enlightened you were about to become but today is a very special day because you are about to hear from General Brent Baker. He spent 37 years in the United States Air force. The first six were as an enlisted man. Then he transferred over to officer training.
General Baker - That’s what they call a Mustang.
You know how many people do that? Become what’s called a Mustang by transitioning from enlisted man to officer and then General officer. Not many. It’s less than one percent.
General Baker - A lot of officers go like from the Airforce academy, they go to the ROTC program. R.O.T.C. a lot of people know that. I went from the enlisted side to the officer side and that’s where the name Mustang comes from. I am very proud I was a mustang.
He retired as a Major General which means there were two stars on each shoulder and the reason I’m sharing all this background with you is because you need to know who is giving you advice today. It’s someone you can respect because in the military leadership is something that is very important. He explains all this in his new book Orders from the General: Leadership Advice from a Two-Star General.
General Baker - That’s part of the inspiration for writing my book is I’ve kind of always been a lifelong student of leadership and I wanted to make sure I kind of offered all my experiences to folks as well.
The subtitle is RISE ABOVE . . . Use a military mindset for success in any field and this is what drew me to the book. I just love this kind of advice because we aren’t all taught the same way. We all have different backgrounds and grow up in different ways but when you join the military there is a very specific type of training. Whether or not that style is for you is a personal decision but there is a great deal of wisdom to be gained from the men and women who served.
Have you read the book Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World. You’ve probably heard of it. Admiral McRaven did the Commencement speech in 2014 for the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin. It went viral, got something like 10 Million views and then became a book. The point is he offered timeless wisdom that we can all use in our daily lives. General Baker has taken it a step further.
General Baker - It’s written I think in kind of an easy to read style and it’s built around what I call leadership advice or leadership examples. I think a lot of people will be able to read that and understand it, it’ll resonate with them and the other thing too, is I’ve written it to try to be timeless. These leadership principles or pieces of advice I offer are kind of timeless leadership traits that I’ve observed and picked up through the years so those are a couple of things that I makes it really unique and the other thing, I really try, I know a lot of it is based on my time in the military, I try to write it in such a fashion so that regardless of what walk of life you’re in you would be able to use these principles.
In the book he asks some important questions that cause you to look inside yourself. Like for example, What is your particular leadership style. Write it down and then ask a few others what they think your leadership style is and see if they match. Maybe they will. Maybe they won’t but you’ll learn something.
Dr. Lycka welcomes Christian author, Theologian and former Corporate Executive Bruce Hartman to the show today to talk about why he left the business world to take on a higher calling.
Bruce was once CFO for Fortune 500 companies like Footlocker and Yankee Candle. Now he counsels thousands of business people on how they can achieve similar goals. He says it’s not how much you make. It's what you do with what you make that matters most. Is Jesus good for business? Yes! Tune in and find out why.
Guest Bio: Bruce Hartman believes that Self-Worth Is More Important Than Net-Worth. So he left the corporate world after thirty-five years for a career in ministry. He has a Master of Divinity degree, and a Doctorate. He is not a traditional minister, but his unique blend of strategic acumen, combined with his belief in the Christian principles of integrity, has put him in a position where he can help people thrive in the modern marketplace and in daily life. Bruce believes there is a way to advance Christian values without having to compromise our intended purpose or personal integrity.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Gail Blanke
“When we throw out the physical clutter, we clear our minds. When we throw out the mental clutter, we clear our souls.”
https://youtu.be/1kaiM4ATeaM
Check Out These Highlights:
As I look back, I can recognize decisions I have made because they simply felt right at the time. For example, just shy of 3 years ago we moved and the first thing I did after the movers left was to hang a floral wreath on the front door and put our welcome mat on the entry steps. My husband thought I was crazy, making that a priority over all the boxes that were piled high throughout every room in the house. All I said to him was I just needed the front of the house to be welcoming.
About 6 months later I was part of a zoom networking event and one of the women on the call spoke about Feng Shui. Not knowing much about this topic, I mentioned our moving day and my need to decorate the front door and entry. Apparently having a welcoming entry is a Feng Shui thing. She commented that even though I didn’t know anything about Feng Shui, I had intuitively used its principles correctly.
Fascinating topic, isn’t it?

Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick, author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Global Awakening which shares the notion that our challenges personally nationally and worldwide are not economic, political or societal but a disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Thad Cummings, author of Radical Compassion which shares Thad desire to serve the greatest good and visits third world nations where he learns about poverty empathy and the joys of living with love and purpose ending his thoughts that poverty has little to do with the materialist world.As listeners of Healing From Within well know, Sheryl and her insightful guests share intimate views into the metaphysical world of energy and science, as they share the truth of Who we are? and why we are experiencing a duality of life as both physical and spiritual beings learning to merge both aspects of our totality in order to live our best lives and reach our true potential as we find life is a balance between the mysteries of an ever evolving Universe.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Thad Cummings will share thoughts on “ Can compassion change the world? And if so, why hasn’t it happened already?”When Thad is asked to think back and remember a person place or event that may have shown them the lifestyle work and interests they might pursue and value he tells of the return of his friend Chris from a mission to help others in third world countries and what seems to have been an inspiration for you to write Radical Compassion.Thad tells us Chris’s story and writes, “It wasn’t what I expected.” There was a tension in his voice, an unexpected fusion of pain and remorse as his eyes returned to the rocky path ahead of us. He went on to explain that this was a mission trip to serve the “poor,” to try and help in one of the most impoverished areas in the world. After speaking for several minutes, Chris lifted his gaze again, but this time, with a hint of shame in his eyes. “I went there to have empathy for the poor, but the poor had empathy for me, for my lack of joy amongst all my riches. I thought I was going there to help save them, but they were the ones saving me…” The crisp, spring morning suddenly felt heavy.The crisp, spring morning suddenly felt heavy and the chorus of singing birds faded from my ears. How is it that humans in one of the world’s poorest villages, ravaged with famine, crime, drugs, no access to clean water or medical supplies, filled with diseases and infections, without electricity and hardly any shelter, were the ones having empathy for my friend? My friend, who lives in luxury with all modern conveniences never worrying where the next meal will come from. “The sense of community they had, the joy they shared with me, they had hardly any food but tried to feed me before themselves; the gratitude was unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed,” “They were the ones taking care of me, not the other way around.” One question was left suspended in the air between us – “What if it is me who is actually poor?”Poor (adjective): lacking material possess; small in worth. – Merriam Webster DictionaryWhat does it mean to be poor?What does it really mean to be “poor”? Is it just a matter of material possessions? Throughout this book, Chris would like to expand the definition of “poor” from a statement about economics and wealth and evolve it into many aspects of life. To begin with, he would split the definition into four main categories: financially poor, poor in health, poor in education and resources, and poor in life and spirituality. These categories can then be further broken down. For example, those who are poor in life or spirit may feel: relationally poor, poor of passion, poor of love, poor in purpose, poor in faith, etc. Now Chris is not going to treat this like a textbook to cover each of the four categories with definitive examples in a succinct pattern; life d...
Hang out with me this week while I geek out on the opportunity to gather + be amongst my community by way of Hospitality Matters . A bi-weekly (in-person) group facilitated by Instagram.com/@thepleasurecenteredtherapist + organized by yours truly, where industry folks can gather, build community, and access support during the ongoing pandemic. In addition to organizing Offbeat Market, a Denver maker’s marker highlighting women, queer, non-binary, Black and POC owned businesses!
There’s also discussion on what the hell to do with copious amounts of farro, and where we should travel to eat this year!
It's been awhile since I've done a solo show so this week I share some thoughts with you on the opportunities that are all around us and how we all have much more power than we are willing to realize.
In this episode, I share some examples from my own life about how I was able to create opportunities when on the surface it looked like there were none. One of those examples was when I was jobless, poor and not really having any idea what to do next, I saw an opportunity in an underutilized space and was able to create a blog and a podcast which eventually led to my 12 year career in IT consulting. If you're tired of feeling stuck in your box and looking for a way to get out, this episode is for you. In this short episode, I will give you several ways to think about things in your life differently. My intention is you will be able to take something from what you've heard here and it will lead you to the next step on your path. Please be sure to connect with me on social media.

Connie's motivational quote today is by ~ An old Native American proverb
“Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.”

Check Out These Highlights:
During my 20 years in business, I have always used stories to help over 25,000 people grow their sales skills. When I teach, I try to ground the new skill being learned into a real-life relatable story to help with action and implementation.
It’s funny. Years after I train and coach people, on sales or sales leadership, they come back and say things like, “Do you remember when you taught me about (Effective communication, or whatever the skill is) and your story XYZ? I remember that story and use that skill every day with my clients.
Wow, powerful stuff…right?

Many diplomats around the world and citizens of Ukraine did not believe Putin would declare war on Ukraine, but he did. Putin's killing machine (called the Russian military) may not be moving as fast as they would like, and I do pray that they are unsuccessful. But with all the chips on the table and the chessboard game in history moving, you can be sure that Putin has calculated how he wants it to play out.
He wants all of Ukraine and probably more territory, but he also has played out a trap for America. Yes, he looked at American leaders and assessed their weakness, yes, he looked at the politics of the green new deal, and yes, he knew the sanctions were coming. But in the devastation, and the horrors of war on the battleground, Putin has developed a trap for America that could hamper Americans for generations to come.
Will America get caught in that trap?
Listen to this week's show for one of the most important shows Doc Holliday has ever done with huge consequences for every American alive today and for those to come in the future. And there is a plan to get out of the trap if our leaders fall for it. Click on for a show that every American leader and member of Congress and everyone in this administration should listen to.

After the author was filled with the Holy Spirit, he had his first vision about the horrors facing unbelievers. In response, and fearing for his family, he began to soak up the Word of God ‘like a sponge’ under the instruction of amazingly dedicated Bible teachers. His education over a period of more than 40 years, is reflected in the book.
Dr. Pallaghy is very concerned about complacent Christians presumptuously resting on God’s mercy and benefits unaware that God’s promises are always conditional depending on repentance. He became particularly interested in end-times, in the unity promised by Jesus in John 17 and in the prophetic days of the creation.
God has given him the gift of interpreting the symbolism, used in the prophetic scriptures, which he hopes readers will appreciate. The prophetic elements in the life of Samson and the Temple of Solomon, elaborated in this book, will be new to the

When Alex Williams, a quiet Deaconess Hospital Laboratory employee, falls ill with a highly contagious and lethal infection, the entire hospital staff panics worrying about their personal exposure, and they don’t show up for work. Hospital executives are concerned about the hospital’s image as well as the possible negative publicity.
Maggie Hamilton, the infectious Diseases Specialist, is perplexed. Where, she asks herself, could Alex have acquired the disease? After medical scrutiny, they find that Alex suffered from a “weapons grade” strain of Ebola infection that could potentially spread and become a worldwide lethal epidemic. As more evidence surfaces, the medical specialist and her newfound FBI friend, find themselves travelling across the country to
Based on the book Nurturing the Nurturers; Healing the Planet, The Wati Kanyilpai Story by Leon Petchkovsky
Childhood trauma is a global problem. How’s that for an opening statement?
Let me ask you a question. If you had a time machine where would you go? You could live in any century. After a long debate about the pros and cons of that time but here’s the catch, the society you choose needs to be hyper focused on the importance of early childhood development. I usually come to the conclusion that right here, right now is the best time but is it really? What’s the maternity leave policy at your office? How often can you take time off to be with the kids? Are you struggling with any political or economic pressures that make it hard to be a good parent? What about caring for others? How much time do you have for that?
As far as the centuries go this is a pretty good time to be alive but we have a lot of work to do when it comes to Nurturance.
Leon Petchkovsky - There should actually be a ministry for child nurturance that sets up government programs to help with that.
According to Professor Leon Petchkovsky Nurturance is one of the most crucially important elements missing from our society because it’s all about the early years where proper childhood development is crucial.
Leon Petchkovsky - If you’re lucky enough to get a reasonably good go of it life is much more manageable, relationships are much more manageable, our emotions are much more manageable, our behavior is much more manageable, you know we’re less impulsive, all of that sort of stuff.
Leon Petchkovsky is a retired Professor of Psychiatry He’s also written a book about Nurturance called Nurturing the Nurturers; Healing the Planet. This is an interesting guy. His book focuses on Developmental Neuroscience and Psychology. That may sound like a lot but never mind the fancy titles. He makes is very simple, we need to focus our energy in these two areas:
Leon Petchkovsky - More awareness of the critical importance of those first three years of life.
And the second thing, which is probably even more important…
Leon Petchkovsky - There are no governments on earth except maybe a few of the Scandinavian countries that have any focused policies and in the book I’ve described a few private indigenous organizations that have set up stuff like that to identify the moms at risk, to give them lots of support. They’re the kind of models we should be following all over the planet.
One of the things I love about this guy is his no nonsense approach. The work he does is based on a great deal of research and it’s hard to argue with him when he says developmental neuroscience explains how failures of nurturance during the critical periods in life have disastrous psychological and physical consequences not only for ourselves, but for society in general and he explains exactly what we need to do.
It starts with you.
We need to develop better empathy and mindfulness skills, better ways of looking after ourselves and caring for others. In a nutshell, we can end suffering on this planet by better caring for ourselves and others. Can it really be that easy?
Leon Petchkovsky - There are lots of really good parents out there in the world but not enough and by not enough I mean some of them try really hard to be good parents but because they’ve become so damaged themselves, it becomes a struggle. Like, you know you could have a very kind mother who develops postpartum depression so she’s severely depressed for the first twelve months of your life, and even though she’s a good being because she’s depressed it makes it very difficult for her to just be in touch.
This is a serious topic but Leon has a great sense of humor and when you read his book you get a better sense of his personality. In it he shares some fun stories about working with Indigenous communities across Australia. Like this one…
After a devastating combat injury destroys her body, Captain Jane Hunter volunteers for an experimental programme to turn her into a super fighting machine. Jane has always been one to take risks, and her choice launches her into a strange and dangerous world with a handsome young lieutenant as her only companion.
The pair are sent into the jungles of Colombia, to search for two hostages and a mysterious meteorite that is not quite what it seems. As their mission progresses, a close bond develops, but this threatens to lead to an impossible relationship between cyborg and soldier. The novel examines the problems that might arise with installing a human brain into a machine. How will the cyborg cope with the lack of physical and emotional engagement with humans? What are the ethical considerations? "Enter the Huntress" gives the reader an exciting glimpse into the developments in science and the possibilities for the future. You can find Enter the Huntress on Amazon.About Janus Black: Janus Black has lived an exciting life as a traveling musician, bus driver, teacher and author. In his free time, Janus practices a form of martial arts called Budokan. The classical budo, or "martial ways" are not combat systems like their forerunner, bujutsu, or "martial arts"; nor are they sports like modern judo, kendo, or karate. They are first and foremost spiritual disciplines, whose ultimate goal, achieved through the most rigorous mental and physical training, is self-realization in the tradition of Zen Buddhism. Janus is a 2nd Dan Blackbelt and going for his 3rd Dan at 80 years young.

"To have a service dog like Able should be the medication any soldier is prescribed who has gone out and had trauma of some kind."
In Hope Has a Cold Nose, the author relays true stories of military veterans and others who rose from the ashes of PTSD and MST with the help of their service dogs.
Each chapter tells the story of a different human-canine pair. The author shares the story of each person with PTSD and their service dog with pathos and creativity. She also renames the familiar initials “PTSD” which stand for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder to instead stand for “Pain Trauma Sorrow Despair.”
These powerful stories are told as part testimonial and part the author's interpretation using rhythm and rhyme. Each story brings important insights about how service dogs help people with PTSD and MST in countless ways. From sensing a nightmare and waking a veteran before terror takes hold, to placing a comforting paw on someone's shoulder to ward off a panic attack, these dogs play a key role in helping those who've lived through trauma reintegrate into society.
Lovingly written, Hope Has a Cold Nose is a unique and compelling collection of survivors' stories for dog lovers of all kinds, for those who've experienced PTSD and their loved ones, and for those interested in how service dogs can help people heal from the deepest emotional wounds.

This story comes from the personal experiences of Coco, a 50+ naturalized Australian of French background who grew up in Melbourne, Australia after immigrating in the 60’s. Because the story is about real people and situations, pseudonyms have been used in the book and specific details have been adapted to protect the true identify of all characters.
Coco is a vivacious and enthusiastic romantic on a determined search for the one true love of her life. At about two times the age of a regular princess (or even more), she fearlessly pursues her fairy-tale ending by embracing the paradoxes and age-defying opportunities offered by the modern age. Bolstered by the notions that fifty is the new forty and divorced is the new single, she ventures into the medium of the internet, a space where all things old are excitingly renewed to search for the one.
The fairyland of online dating proves to be populated by characters very much akin to those found in fairy tales of old. There are some trolls and other downright dastardly types and others of beastly appearance who turn out to be kindly. There are also some wily witches who try to trap and ensnare. Fortunately, the fairy godmothers (BFFs) mentored Coco through the Black Forest. So, will she find the dashing Prince Charming and live happily ever after? Read on and see!
BONUS: Under COCO’s AUDIOBOOK, on the author’s website are free downloads of 2 songs[1] related to Coco’s online journey. The author has released 2 original songs, pertinent to Online Dating, performed by the her daughters, Danièle and Dominique. Free Downloads for listeners to enjoy on the Website and SoundCloud.
[1] LYRICS by CHRISTOPHER BOYD, DANIELE JURIANSZ & DOMINIQUE JURIANSZ, Copyright, 2006. A short audio clips of the songs appear before Ch 12 and Chapter 18.

We have been exploring brain hormones, during the past few podcasts.
During this session, I would like to gift you with time to practice changing your environment. I am honored to guide you through this mindfulness practice of taking an opportunity to elevate your awareness to embrace a positive space that you have been caring around and have yet to explore.
I invite you to allow yourself to be curious to examine the experience of telling distractors, judgments, and stressors that they must wait. Distractors must stay as you travel to explore your "now" without the baggage of distractors.
Enjoy your discovery of new levels of awareness which are landscaped with elements of peace, beauty, and freedom.
Music: “Background Music 1” “Bensound-relaxing”
It’s been said that opposites attract and I could not disagree more. We are attracted to people who are like us. Think about it. How excited are you when you meet someone and in the middle of the conversation you keep saying “…oh my gosh, me too!” or “…I know what you mean, I grew up there too..” Shared experiences and similarities are energizing. They are positively magnetic. The pun was intended because positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative. So, are you a positive person or a negative person? We all have moments of both positivity and negativity in our life but which one best describes you?
Yin and Yang, Good vs. Bad, Positive vs. Negative, they're all the same thing.
Something I’ve learned to be true is that positive vibrations make us feel good. Think about being in love, or being grateful. We are just more at ease around happy people. Whereas when you are worried all the time you get anxious, sad and depressed.
Mean people make you angry and more sad and depressed. All of this you probably knew so given everything I've said so far, and knowing who you are, how do you think a diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis would make you feel? And, let’s take it a step further. What if it was your daughter that received that diagnosis? I can’t even imagine. What do you do when you are up against a horrible, incurable disease? You find inspiration from people like Dr. Julie.
Dr. Julie - Wherever there was fear. love cannot be and love is what heals. The process for me was trying to shift my consciousness from always feeling that I was extending fear, multiplying fear, to extending love. So I went through this incredible process of trying to catch myself. I had a wonderful practitioner who helped me and she told me that. Every time she would see me she would say Julie, did you multiply fear today or did you extend love? I put myself in this process of being very conscious of extending love all the time and not multiplying fear and since I had been multiplying fear most of my life this was a whole new frequency for me but it was the importance of raising my frequency to the power of love because I was convinced from everything I read that healing only takes place through the power of love.
That is Julie Torres-Johnson or Dr. Julie. Her daughter Leslie spent 50 years dealing with Cystic Fibrosis. She was born with it and the doctors said she would likely not make it past age seven. She proved them wrong and according to Dr. Julie it was due to her positivity.
Dr. Julie - She was an unbelievable woman with incredible energy. She did so much and she accomplished so much and all her life she would say, “I may have Cystic Fibrosis but Cystic Fibrosis doesn’t have me.” In spite of her challenges she never let it get in the way of all the things she wanted to do.
Her dying wish was that her story be told and so Dr. Julie fulfilled that wish by writing a book. It’s called Women Who Take Your Breath Away: The Leslie Petrone Story. Well Newsgram is all about interesting people sharing their lives with you and today we have two of them. Leslie Petrone and Dr. Julie and the first thing they had to overcome was the idea that people with gene-based diseases, like Leslie don’t have spontaneous remissions.
Dr Julie - And, Leslie of course had a spontaneous remission and lived to be fifty years old and not only lived to be fifty years old but had a very full life and wonderful life, a very productive life, in spite of her disease.
According to the CDC, Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes problems with breathing and digestion. It affects about 35,000 people in the United States and it can affect many different organs throughout the body making people with CF more likely to develop other health conditions. Yea, not good. So, how do you take this diagnosis and get more positivity into your life? It takes a very special person and a belief that miracles are not only possible but probable.
Today we’re going to talk about love and war involving ordinary human beings just trying to live peaceful lives. People doing their jobs, going to school and hanging out with their friends while a war rages in their backyard. When I first sat down to write this edition of Newsgram Russia had just invaded Ukraine and it got me thinking just how often this scenario exists throughout history. What war or conflict was raging when you grew up? There’s always one going on somewhere.
Enough on that.
I came across a book that I want to share with you that takes place during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The Good Friday Agreement or Belfast Agreement was signed on April 10, 1998. It ended the Troubles also called the Northern Ireland conflict and put an end to thirty years of street fighting, bombings, sniper attacks and all kinds of other forms of violence that had been going on there since the late 1960s. Violence that killed over three thousand people; ten times that many were injured before a peaceful resolution was reached in 1998. Doesn’t seem that long ago.
Why am I telling you all this? It’s a piece of history that you need to know as we set sail for Northern Ireland. The year is 1969 and The Northern Ireland Troubles are just beginning. But this is not a war story, it’s a love story…or a failed love story,..or, well we’re gonna leave that up to you to decide. What I can tell you is there’s a car full of teenage boys, four to be specific, headed out to a place called “The Flamingo”. These four boys aren’t out to hurt anyone, they just wanna meet some girls and what did they do on the way? They gave each other nicknames.
Billy Menamin - At the beginning the boys are together and they’re all called Billy. The four boys are called Billy, so they give each other nicknames so they know who’s talking to who.
Of course! Can you imagine the conversation between Billy’s? You’d get sick of hearing the word. Anyway, that is Billy Menamin, the fifth Billy in our story today. He's the author of the book Mary Whyte was Right Pedro.
Billy Menamin - It’s an interesting book I think, uh, but that’s not for me to say that’s for the readers to say, haha.
It is an interesting book and I thought giving each other nicknames was a fun way to get to know some of the main characters living their lives the way teenagers do during what was a very difficult time in Northern Ireland. Rodin, Pedro, Pablo and Cochise made their way to the Flamingo around 11:30pm where they meet Mary Whyte and we begin to realize the power of this random encounter.
Billy Menamin - Love, and I’m not talking about sexual love I’m talking just about love of friends that sort of thing but love has a way of triumphing over every other emotion or decision. It does in the end in the book and I’m really happy about that. We all need to love each other.
Mary Whyte was Right Pedro is a work of fiction where we get to watch the boys mature, face challenges, and experience different events that unfold over the years. Their lives take some unusual turns that lead to an unfortunate estrangement, an eventual reunion, and a monumental dying wish and I know that sounds a bit vague but it’s supposed to make you want to read the book!
Billy Menamin - No, no no no, we want people to buy the book…haha, Mary White was right Pedro.
He says the book was originally going to be about a forbidden love, or a love that couldn’t be but in the process of writing it took on a life of its own.
Billy Menamin - One of the things I do want people to understand about the book is just how much the normal people of Northern Ireland were, if you like, heroes of that time because yes there were a lot of, an awful lot of violence going on there was a lot of horrible things happening but in general people just kept their hands down, kept out of trouble and go ton with living the best life they could….the other thing I want acknowledged is Fundamental Conservatism usu...
What do you do when you complete all the necessary steps to become a Nephrologist? Do you know what a Nephrologist is? It’s a Kidney doctor, and if you’re Dr. Dennis Ross you write fiction novels.
Dennis Ross (Bucket List) It was just something that was on my bucket list.
…true and a bit of an oversimplification. Dr Ross is also a clinical professor with The University of Kansas Medical Center in Wichita and he has published extensively in scientific journals but it was his novels that drew my attention because reading a scientific novel is not something most of us are likely to do. So how does a Kidney Doctor become a novelist? Telling a page-turning mystery is a lot different than writing articles in a scientific journal.
Dennis Ross (Becoming a Writer) Actually I’d gone to a writing class in Cape Cod taught by best selling authors who were physicians.
Well, that couldn’t be more perfect. And they say write about what you know so the first book is about Kidney failure, Dialysis and transplants called “The Perfect Match”.
Dennis Ross (Writing Fiction) I’m a Nephrologist so I’ve dealt with a lot of patients with that and I wanted to educate the public about what patients go through if they face the need for dialysis or a transplant and I thought writing it in a fictional story, with lots of twists and turns would encourage them to read the whole book.
The Perfect Match is about a young man, just starting college when he is diagnosed with end stage renal disease, which means he’s going to need dialysis immediately and ultimately a new kidney so he is placed on a transplant waiting list. Without getting too deep into the twists and turns, this story asks the question, “How far would you go to save someone you love?”
Dennis Ross (One led to another) When I found some success with that and my patients and others seemed to like it, encouraged me to write the second novel, the Lethal Elixir.
A mystery novel about a what if pandemic.
Dennis Ross (Pandemic) This is a story about an outbreak of Ebola in the United states and the Ebola just occurs out of the blue and a young person who happened to be working in the laboratory in Virology so the immediate thing was the panic at the hospital with people saying oh my gosh where did he catch this thing? it turns out he was a loner, he never traveled anywhere there was no evidence that he had been to Africa or any third world nation where he might have contracted this so then the search is on to find the source. This leads to panic across the United States as more and more patients develop the infection.
You want me to tell you how it happened? I can’t do that. Is it history repeating itself? I mean we are all too familiar with the impact a viral outbreak can have on our society. One thing I can tell you is that Ebola was a weapons grade strain and the FBI got in on this one.
Dennis Ross (Romance) There’s a lot of Romance and love story in this novel as well. The FBI agent falls in love with the Infectious Disease doctor and they are the main characters, trying to track down the perpetrators.
To find out more you should read this one, it’s fun. The Lethal Elixir by Dennis Ross is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and we put a direct link in the show notes for you.
And that’s another healthy dose of Newsgram for you from Webtalkradio.com.

Gather ‘round kids. It’s story time!
Today we have a selection of short stories for you written by a former teacher by the name of Kim Brack. Like many teachers Kim says it’s very important to emphasize reading and storytelling because they open the door to so many things. As a teacher she always encouraged her students to read and share story time with their parents or someone else.
Kim Brack - And not just go home and sit down with a tablet or smartphone or anything like that. I try to get them to understand that in their life there’s room for both of them.
It was always hard for me not to let my kids spend too much time in front of the TV. When I grew up there wasn’t all that much to watch on TV after school. Cartoons were only on on the weekends but that has all changed. Add in the computers, tablets and smartphones and it’s even harder to compete for a child’s attention. Plus as a parent it is hard to resist these devices — they make great babysitters.
When the time permits and you’re ready to crack open a book and share it with your kids Traditional Short Stories for Children by Kim Brack is a nice option. It’s for kids three to six years old and features stories about witches, wizards, elves, giants, fairies, and fantasy beings. And, the book features some fun illustrations by Windel Eborlas.
Kim Brack - I couldn’t have done anything like that myself. I’m not an artist.
Scattered throughout the book you get to see some nice, professional artwork showing the characters in action. Young kids will love them.
Kim Brack - That was one thing about the illustrations, with the young children the illustrations were there so you could talk about the very colorful illustrations.
The cover features a nice example of the illustrations. Here you get to meet Freddie the Foolish Frog and the thing about Freddie is, he is very foolish. All the other frogs avoided him because he spoiled their game with his silliness. This made him very lonely. Here is an audio sample read by Mandy Kaplan.
"The Foolish Frog" (Audio Sample by Mandy Kaplan)
What a tremendous voice. If you find it hard to compete with Mandy you can download the audio version of the book on Audible.com. It’s 24:00 long and perfect for bedtime!
She has another book out that features no pictures at all. It’s geared toward early readers in the seven to nine your old range.
Kim Brack - That’s what I wanted with that second book. I wanted it to be for all the children. I decided not to include illustrations so they could concentrate on the words in front of them and hopefully by the time they got to that book they’d be doing a lot of reading by themselves.
The second book is called The Birthday gift where it seems Jenny and Michael have a problem. When they set out to buy their father's birthday present they found that some thugs wanted it too! This one is more of an adventure than a traditional short story. A mystery that gets young kids involved with the words and the story. It’s all part of her evil plan to get kids hooked on reading.
Kim Brack - I’ve encountered parents who don’t have any interest in reading or encouraging the children so that’s why I pay so much importance on encouraging the children. That’s important to me, and um, hopefully get some reasonable books on the shelves that you could choose from.
There are some “bad eggs” out there as well. Not the ones published by Xlibris, like this one, and thankfully this author has a very easy to spell name so if you do a search on Kim Brack you’ll find all of her books — easy peasy. And if you can’t spell Kim Brack then YOU haven’t been doing enough reading…that’s ok. There's no time like the present to start. There's a link for you in this show's description.
And that will close the book on this edition of Newsgram, from Webtalkradio.com

Last episode, the Crones introduced the Energies that they work with and discussed some of the basics of what they are. Today, the discussion turns to the first specific type of energy, the Five Elements which include the four physical elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth and add in what they call the fifth element of Spirit.
The featured Witchstone Card is the first of the four Sabbats and Equinoxes which is the Winter Solstice. Finally, this week's Witchy Tip talks about ways you can enhance those tiny tea lights for magickal purposes throughout the year since we are in the season of Candlemas.
Pull up a chair while I gush about one of my favorite dishes, posole, the importance of identifying your Why before starting your cottage bakery (or anything, for that matter), the beauty in risk taking, and how I’m falling in love with being an organizer of a community maker’s market here in Denver.
With us on Seek Reality for the fifth time is Mark Anthony, The Psychic Lawyer, who has lately come out with a wonderful book about consciousness as the basis of reality called The Afterlife Frequency: The Scientific Proof of Spiritual Contact and How That Awareness Will Change Your Life.

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick, author of my just released book in a trilogy that I was told I would write 20 years ago before that thought was a reality for me. A New Life Awaits Spiritual Guided Insights for Global Awakening shares new ways to perceive the challenges of 2020 and modern- day life and begin to self-investigate, manage our emotions, and live life as the spiritual beings we are in search of remembering hope and love. I am delighted to welcome John J. Murphy, author of Miracle Minded Manager who will share with listeners that we can be hurt by nothing but our thoughts and fears until we surrender the ego to a higher power.As listeners of Healing From Within have come to expect over the years, Sheryl and her esteemed guests share intimate experiences and insights into the true nature of human and spiritual life or metaphysical laws of creative or energetic life as we learn to recognize inner/ outer world influences can self-investigate and master emotions so we may better deal with stress and challenges. This inner work improves health, relationships, so we may explore the world with the least amount of fear and friction. This takes an understanding that we are more than our physical bodies and that energy of thought and action create much of what we are experiencing.In today’s episode of Healing From Within John J. Murphy who is a global business consultant spiritual mystic author and founder and CEO of Venture Management Consultant a graduate of University of Notre Dame and University of Michigan’s Human Resource Executive Program and a former quarterback for Notre Dame so we can see that it is clearly possible to function in all aspects of life business spirituality sports and continue to shine light on all matters that really matter.When John is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a personal event that may have signaled to them or others the goals, interests work and lifestyle that they would pursue in adulthood John tells us that like any human being growing up he was frequently anxious and stressed about one thing or another. He remembers when he was giving a speech in high school he was so nervous he almost got sick. The same was true before stepping onto the football field as a quarterback both in high school and at Notre Dame. Growing up in a Catholic family John was taught about faith, but what he learned later is that one cannot have true faith and be afraid at the same time. It is one or the other. Period. True faith does not come and go. It is a complete thought system as is fear. In retrospect John thought he had faith but it was an illusion. He was under the world based influence of the fear-based, ego thought system. There is always something wrong. People are out to get you. What if you screw up? At that time John as many of us assumed the best we could do was learn to manage stress with things like exercise meditation and positive thinking.As we fast forward we begin to think about the self -imposed states of mind or the ego based reality that often hurts us, limits us and we begin to see another way to work out of the box. Like many companies when thinking about teamwork most are anything but healthy. It is as if the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing and when you are trying to pull a team together, it certainly helps to have a leader who seems relaxed and confident and always seems to know something the rest of us are missing.A quote from E. F Schumacher also suggests the problems in corporations, government, and families, ”Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. We need to simplify and he keeps making things bigger and bigger.” That makes sense to me.John writes, “When thinking about apathy or grief most of us feel a sense of hopelessness or despair, as we have been conditioned to reject the idea of fear and insecurity and train...

Connie's motivational quote today is by – Jay Baer
"Content is fire; social media is gasoline.”
https://youtu.be/t_X7gKwnCk0
Check Out These Highlights:
As I reflect on this quote about marketing, I am always thrown by the number of people who lump sales and marketing in one sentence as if they are the same thing. I always correct that person and say, I stay in my lane. I am good and know sales from A-Z. Please don’t ask me about your marketing info, website, or campaigns. Not my jam.” For me, building relationships {in person & online} is key to leveraging promotional partners and influencers.
So today's topic is about leveraging the Media. I know with every post I read or write; we are in a very crowded market with a lot of noise. The question to ask yourself during this next half hour or so is, “how will you stand out?”
Today we discuss actionable strategies on how to leverage your time, money, energy and your network to get massive results in both local and national media to succeed in today’s business environment.

I talk on the show about how to free our minds from the mainstream or matrix level programming that we have been taught through society, government schools, Hollywood, big tech, etc. Programming is not just what is imprinted upon us by the matrix though, it’s also freeing our minds from our own programming which includes negative thoughts, loops and patterns that keep us stuck in these places that we don’t want to be.
This week, Lawrence Rook joins the show. Lawrence is the author of the book Your Money, Your Mind: How Open, Sceptical Thinking Improves Your Life and Can Protect You From the Pandemic Wealth Transfer. Our topic this week is two parts:
Lawrence & I discuss how we can use skepticism, discernment & alternative thinking to free our minds so we can actually think freely and We discuss how we can use that new found freedom to start to look at the monetary system differently and protect ourselves financially.
Lawrence and I touch on other topics in this episode including, why it's important to have an open mind and to be skeptical (and what you can do so you don't end up full of skepticism), layers of truth and how our lives are driven by our narratives, and why so-called "experts" have the most to lose when narratives start to fall apart. Lawrence gives an overview of the current financial system and how it's stacked against us and then offers some solutions (in both digital and analogue format) that you can do today to protect yourself based on your own comfort level. If you are open to new ways of thinking and leaving outdated ways of doing behind, don't miss this episode!You can watch my interview with Lawrence here:

More About the book: Your Money, Your Mind: With open-minded thinking we can see beyond conventional systems. Knowledge equates to freedom, and with the expanded perspective gained from exposure to alternative information we can have more choice and sovereignty in our lives.
People are becoming more aware of the outdated systems that govern our society. Change is happening!
However, still only a few know how the financial system operates and how to create independence with this knowledge.
Since the 'covid response' we have experienced a dramatic increase in the implementation of monetary policies that for decades have benefited the few to the cost of the many.
This book outlines the importance of sceptical thinking and transposes this to the monetary system.
This book will teach you how:
The global financial system benefits the few and not the manyThe Covid response is causing a global wealth transferTo protect and grow your wealth with bitcoin, gold and silver
By understanding the financial system you can protect, preserve and grow your wealth at a time when it is being systematically taken from us.
Take control of your money and wealth today and be part of the global change!About Lawrence Rook: Lawrence has been a researcher of alternative information for many years, particularly in the field of health and wellbeing, and more recently the worldwide financial system. He is a professional Chirologist and has a background in healthcare with a degree in Chinese medicine.

Europe witnessed an all out invasion and attack on a peaceful country when Russian forces invaded Ukraine. It was the first time since World War II that we have seen one country attack another without being provoked in any way.
The world is watching and America and her allies are working to put into place stiff sanctions. Is there a better way to bring Putin to his knees? Will these sanctions hurt Americans more than Putin? Will Putin be unprepared?
Doc Holliday answers these questions and more on this week's show. Doc uses a clip from Sean Hannity as he discusses one way that President Biden and his administration can absolutely squeeze Putin. Listen for these answers and so much more on this week's show!.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Andy Hargreaves

Lately, I have read more articles about the new leadership skills (agility, empathy, respectful communication, and the list goes on), that are needed. So, my curious mind keeps questioning, “are these skills new, or should they have been part of a solid leadership model for organizations all along?”
As I reflect, I personally feel that leaders from around the globe are waking up to what true leadership should have been all along and that we have been blindly using the model that has been used throughout corporate cultures at least during my 40-year career. I believe the cost of not having a tangible and duplicatable leadership culture, will cost organizations millions of dollars in lost productivity and ultimately lost revenue.
So, what is a great model to follow? I’m glad you asked!

Where did these poems come from?
I really couldn't say.
A little birdie told me,
So, I can remember it that way.
The author has been thinking in rhymes since she first penned a poem to her high school sweetheart decades ago. It is a rhyming poetry book all about spreading kindness
A Little Birdie Told Me is a volume of poetry that shares one woman's lyrical perspective on life, its roadblocks, its triumphs, and why the roads we take are our own choice.
In her first collection of poems, the poet reminds all of us of things we once knew but somehow lost along our way through life. While encouraging us to accept that we are all human, Burkey reflects on tragedies, struggles, victories, life lessons, nostalgia, and a variety of experiences and emotions.
Throughout her debut volume, she not only reflects on her own journey, but also gently reminds us to spread kindness wherever we go. She also reminds us to stand up to bullies, to look forward instead of back, and to recognize the blessings in the seeds we plant.
Included are several Christmas poems that celebrate the holiday and express wishes for a peaceful year ahead.

On this show we are going to talk about your relationship with food. It’s a much more complicated relationship than people realize. Glenn Livingston, Ph.D is here to talk about his journey out of obesity and into a healthy lifestyle. He says “…every time that you are looking for love at the bottom of a bag or a box or container, there’s some fat cat in a white suit with a mustache that’s laughing all the way to the bank…” Tune in and Never Binge Again!
Guest Bio: Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist. He became disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals and spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

It is October 1969 in Northern Ireland as trouble begins to erupt, threatening the peace of the land and its people. Before heading out on the town for the night, four boys-all named Billy-decide to give each other nicknames. As the Billys, now named Pedro, Pablo, Cochise, and Rodin, arrive at the Flamingo Ballroom, Rodin spots three girls he has never seen before.
One of the girls is Mary Whyte, a Roman Catholic from Rasharkin, a village outside Ballymena. Her companions are her sister, Bronagh, and their cousin, Niamh.
After spending some time together, Mary completely captures Rodin’s mind and heart. When they all bid each other farewell, none realize the impact that the encounter will have on all of them, but especially Rodin.
As a chain of events unfolds over the years, their lives take unusual turns that lead to an unfortunate estrangement, an eventual reunion, and a monumental dying wish. Mary Whyte Was Right Pedro is the tale of several teenagers living in Northern Ireland during troubled times as they mature, face challenges, and realize the power of one encounter.

Born in Taiwan but gone to a junior high school in America, then back to Taiwan for college, and immigrated to America again, the author paints vivid pictures of postwar Taiwan and America in the sixties, and compares the Chinese and American cultures through education systems, the business world, and life in general.
The author touches on growing pains; disillusionment; the wear and tear of marriage, parenting, and relationships; challenges and betrayal in the business world; finding herself at fifty-five; and her extraordinary and otherworldly encounters. She reveals complicated Chinese cultural traditions and recounts the Second Sino-Japanese War through her father’s recollections. From working at a Buddhist organization and from taking care of her father, she comes to understand birth, aging, sickness, and death.
The author considers herself “half a banana”-yellow on the outside but a bit white on the inside. Having lived in the States for forty-three years, she understands both Chinese and American cultures well and shows how the two cultures, especially the fundamental difference between them, have molded her life. Dotted with well-known Chinese sayings and anecdotes, Memoir of Half a Banana offers an interesting and truthful glimpse into the Chinese people and ideology.
More about Fay Chou: Graduated from National Taiwan University, Fay Chou was an English teacher, translator and senior editor for Guideposts Magazine, Chinese Edition, and Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, USA. She owned a restaurant in America’s Midwest and was general manager for two wholesale companies in Los Angeles. Now she is a full-time writer.

On Newsgram we always find unique individuals who share their lives with you and today is no exception. We’re taking you to Singapore to meet Dr Jack Tan Sok Kuan.
Dr. Tan (Dream Career) My Dream Career was banking and Finance.
We’ll get to that in a second. Dr. Tan was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His parents were hardworking, industrious people living in Singapore and he made a promise to them one day that when he grew up he would not live in poverty. He would pursue a more prosperous lifestyle in the banking industry.
Dr. Tan (Hard Work) Yes, it was a lot of hard work. If we have some commitment and we don’t do it, we are our greatest enemy. You will not be successful.
Ironically, the year he was born the Defense Minister of Singapore enacted the Enlistment Act whereby all National Service liable citizens are required to register for National Service when they reach the age of 16 1/2 years old and be scheduled for enlistment when they turn 18. So hard work and commitment seemed to be his birthright.
Dr. Tan (NS) Very tough! They abuse their authority and you must learn how to protect yourself and protect the country.
You know what was even tougher?
Dr. Tan (Diarrhea) That was a challenge because I was born with Diarrhea. As a baby I don’t know what happened but my mother told me I cry to hell. She was worried. Dr. Investigate. Then the doctor said that diarrhea had some interrelation to my mothers inner workings.
It was a chronic condition so growing up wasn’t easy for Dr. Tan — to say the least. He wrote a book about his life called My Mother’s Love: Growing My Life from Zero to Life Success Like Dr Jack Tan. It’s both biographical and motivational because in it, we not only get to learn about his inspirational life, we also get his nine life principles for success. Each chapter gives you a different principle explained and supported with a nice conclusion that leads to the next chapter.
Dr. Tan (Flow) Yea, I publish it, say conclusion. Then this conclusion, you achieve this, lead to the next chapter then you will continue to establish your character.
As you can hear, his English is a bit broken but he’s very smart. His book is written in both English and Mandarin. It’s all based on the motivational principles that have served him and his family well.
Dr. Tan has overcome the odds to not only achieve his dream but to raise a family of successful children. Throughout the book he always manages to stay positive and he writes very emotionally. It’s not just a motivational book of self-help principles. It’s one based on solid practical life principles based on true life and written with true emotions. It reminds me of something my dad always used to say. “…Son, use your head”.
Dr. Tan (Money and Health) Money is not everything but health will decide your future. If my brain cells are working very well I’m healthy. So if I don’t exercise my brain then I’m not giving exercise opportunities to my brain.
Work hard, spend below your income, set goals and be motivated to achieve them. Overcome life’s obstacles and live life your way. Dr. Tans is an inspiration and his life principles are worth a read because they are based on a promise made to his parents and kept and shared with us. My Mother’s Love: Growing My Life from Zero to Life Success Like Dr Jack Tan available online at all the usual places and there’s a link in this show’s description. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com
Based on the book No More Games: A Story About Life, Love, and Baseball by Mike Gallo
What image is conjured up in your mind’s eye when I say the word BASEBALL.
So many, right? You can smell the hotdogs and fresh cut grass.
You might be a die hard fan with a head full of stats and figures and room full of memorabilia or just a guy that likes to take in the occasional game because going to the ballpark is tantamount to a religious experience. I get that. Maybe you’re not a fan of major league baseball at all but you have memories of playing with your friends, having a catch with your dad or watching your son at T-Ball. I could do this all day. Talk about a word that can paint a million pictures. BASEBALL.
We can talk about it all day because there are so many different directions to go with the topic. Let’s go here…look at the date.
Right about this same time last year a fellow by the name of Mike Gallo was publishing a book called No More Games: A Story About Life, Love, and Baseball and I’m sorry that it’s taken a year to come to my attention. It’s a work of fiction so you know I can’t give up all the details but let’s open it up to page one.
No More Games
“The transition from childhood to young adult is never easy. When a man’s young son asks him to help in overcoming his fears for an upcoming baseball game, it sends his father into his basement, where he revisits the summer that his friends, baseball and a girl forced him to learn that he could no longer play games”.
Yea, growing up is never easy and when we finally do it, depending on how we do it, nostalgia can be bittersweet. In Case you’re wondering, I’m not reading right now that’s just my two cents but now you have a quick synopsis of what the book is about and if you’re like me have to decide if you want to go a little deeper or put this one back on the shelf. Let’s go a little deeper Don’t worry. What I’m going to read is available to you for free online. In Chapter One you get to meet David and his son Jake, the main characters and it’s so well written that the pages turn themselves but I want to skip over to Chapter two because I just love the imagery. (Exerpt from the book)
It’s about a lot more than baseball. It’s about life lessons, growing up and the struggles we all face.
On a side note, when I googled Mike Gallo I found the pitching, fielding and hitting stats for a guy that used to play for the Houston Astros. This is not him but the irony was not lost on me. This Mike Gallo is a teacher living in the great state of Indiana with a real penchant for storytelling.
Here’s some more irony. The story takes place in a fictionalized version of his hometown, Caseyville Illinois. Is it just me thinking about Casey at the Bat – c’mon you know it – the one where the “Mighty Casey” strikes out. Yes, it was Mudville not Caseyville but you get what I’m doing here! The baseball symbolism is all over the place. Read this book and “The memories will be so thick they’ll have to brush them away from their faces…” Haha, there I did it again, this time I stole a quote from Field of Dreams.
Let me leave you with one more little synopsis:
(Exerpt from the book)
I think Mike Gallo was destined to write this book and you are destined to read it. Don’t argue with me about this. You’re gonna love it and you’ll also be showing support for one of our nation’s educators. It’s a win-win proposition.

My Mother’s Love
-Growing My Life from Zero to Life Success like Dr Jack Tan
(From 1952 to the Present and the Future Generations)
Dr Jack Tan Sok Kuan was born in Singapore. His family origins are rooted in Chinese culture especially on his mother’s side who came from a humble background from a poor area of China. Of course, Singapore today is very different from back then, and so is Dr Tan’s life. As a child balancing a school/work-life ratio was hard, both he and his parents understood the way out of poverty was through a good education, getting that framework right had its difficulties, it ups and downs. After school like his brother and sisters he had to work on the wet markets helping with the family business simply to ensure that basic human amenities could be provided. However, you must add to that equation an illness he faced as a new-born, something that left an indelible mark on his memory right up to this day. What was that illness! Well … read the book.
https://youtu.be/9gYyoohfkHE
Promises are sometimes kept, and sometimes not, but Dr Tan kept his words of honour to his parents particularly his mother, those words were ‘to be successful in life and have a different life to what they and she had.’ How he fulfilled that promise mainly to his mother is what this book is all about.
So how did Dr Jack Tan Sok Kuan execute his vow.
Firstly, I need to outline a summary of his academic and corporate background and then I’ll expose the strategy without giving the game away too much, for that would spoil a good read.
Dr Tan graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, he then entered National Service for males as a first batch NS male. After National Service he entered the world of finance and corporate banking working for numerous banking organisations in Asia for overseas institutions. He achieved an MBA with distinction from the University of Hull in the UK, followed up with a Doctorate in Business Administration from the University of Western Australia.
The strategy embedded in Dr Tan’s ideological pathway from zero to success is based on two objectives under-pinned by nine essential principles. These principles he has formalised by looking at the lives of other successful global entrepreneurs like Warren Buffet and adapted them to suit his own approach to success. There are nine chapters in the book, each chapter introduces a principle and goes on to uncover the reasoning behind the ideology with some form of summary/list of achievements showing how that principle has worked for him to achieve his two objectives and the promise he made to his parents particularly his mother at the end.
This is not a book to be read like a fictional novel, for me it’s more an anthology of Dr Tan’s theoretical thinking’s to be coming a successful person to fulfil a vow. Having read Dr Tan’s book I ask myself what success is, for success can be viewed in many ways, and every person sees success differently. The content of this book is focused on financial achievement but is that success. In my interview I’ll touch upon that issue with Dr Tan. Dr Tan is now the CEO of his own Asset Management company.
To discover more about the inner thinking’s of Dr Jack Tan Sok Kuan head to his web page: www.drjacktan.com he can be contacted by email jackoneasia@gmail.com
The book can be purchased in hardcover, paperback and eBook from Amazon and from the publishers: orders.singapore@partridgepublishing.com

Enjoy the book, I did.

Have you heard about the healing power of dogs? How about the expression 22 a Day? I’m throwing a lot at you here but this show has multiple themes. It’s all gonna come together don’t you worry about that. If you’re a Veteran you know exactly what 22 a Day is all about. In 2013, the United States Department of Veteran Affairs released a study that covered suicides from 1999 to 2010. It showed that roughly 22 veterans a day were committing suicide and there are some who suggest the numbers are even higher.
22 A Day. It’s a reminder of the people who served this country but could no longer handle the pressures of PTSD.
Christine Hassing – I like to reframe it as pain, trauma, sorrow or despair because then I think that takes away any chance of a stereotype when we hear the acronym PTSD and pain, trauma, sorrow, despair is something we all know at least one aspect of at least once in our lives.
That’s Christine Hassing, a life story writer and author of the book Hope has a Cold Nose. Did you get that first part? It’s the thing that drew me to her. She writes people’s life stories. I’ll get back to the book in a second but allow me this brief indulgence because I find that fascinating. We all have a life story. You may or may not think it’s one worth basing a movie on but all have stories to tell. Christine is someone who likes to listen. She’s honed her listening skills and combined them with her writing skills to not only tell stories but to help you tell yours. She facilitates a workshop called “How to Write a Story of Your Life” where she will teach you how to write your life story. How cool is that?!
Something you hear me say all the time is Newsgram is all about interesting people living their lives in interesting ways. Christine Hassing is more than just interesting; she’s someone you need to know. Here’s a little more insight into her character. She was helping a friend, who was dying of cancer, to write letters for her two sons while at the same time volunteering at a local hospice helping the patients there to tell their life stories. It was there that she met this veteran…
Christine Hassing – I asked the Veteran if I could write his life story and what made that new for me is I had not written a life story for somebody who was not knowingly dying. And, this veteran very graciously said yes and so I wrote his story and in his telling the story he shared with a statistic I did not know at the time that 22 veterans commit suicide a day.
And the seeds were planted for what became her latest book.
Christine Hassing – It just broke my heart to think that there were twenty-two souls that reached a point where they lost their sense of hope.
So she started talking to other veterans and discovered that the one thing that restored hope for many of them was getting a service dog. That should come as no surprise. Remember when I asked you if you were familiar with the healing power of dogs? If you could bottle that healing power we’d all be drinking it daily. It’s not just a scientific fact, it’s common knowledge, especially among dog owners that dogs make us feel good.
Christine Hassing –They have that common theme but each of them are different.
In her book she focuses on 23 different veterans and the service-dogs that restored their hope.
Christine Hassing – Some people wanted to talk about their deployment, others wanted to talk about how their life had changed once they got their service dog and others wanted to share things from their childhood.
Every one of her stories will melt your heart. There are so many takeaways here; How service-dogs can help people to heal from deep emotional wounds, how hope can be restored to people who have given up. How we all have a story to tell and while we may not all be natural born storytellers we can get our stories out and start the healing process if someone will just listen and listen without judgment.
Christine Hassing – That was one of the things that so many of the veterans said, my dog just listens, I can tell them anything and they said even if I have someone close to me who really tries to listen and understand for the veteran they re still judging themselves so they are expecting the person listening to judge them, where a dog just looks at them with those loving eyes and hopes absolutely no judgment. So, I would also like to foster us unconditionally listening. We don’t have to accept the story but I think if we listen we start the process of healing for people too.
Christine Hassing authored Hope has a Cold Nose but it was written by twenty-three coauthors that bravely share their life stories. Stories about life changing moments, fears you can’t erase and torturous memories, guilt, horrific dreams, moments of anxiety, moments of faith and the goodness of people. There is sincerity, genuineness and the gifts and tragedies of life. And yes, there’s one more takeaway I want to share with you. As you might imagine Christine is one heck of a storyteller. When you make it your life’s business to listen and help others, you also become pretty good at sharing those details.
Read them all or pick and choose your favorites but I think you’ll enjoy these powerful stories. The title is easy to remember, Hope has a Cold Nose, Google that and let me know what you think. You can also learn more about Christine and who knows, maybe she’ll write your life-story. Her website is Christinehassing.com – there’s a link to it in the show’s description.
And that will do it for another edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com

When Amelia’s father died in 1977, her family lived in peace and unity. Her father, Johannes Macala, didn’t believe in diviners though he wasn’t a Christian. However, he occasionally visited mediums, attempting to find explanations for the sickness and misfortune that sometimes dogged the family.
Each time he returned from these consultations, the result was the same: he assaulted the medium with his knobkerrie and refused to pay him his fee because he had lied. After Johannes’ death, his children had more faith in witchdoctors and prophets than he did. Each sought out witchdoctors, while some consulted the Apostolic Church Prophets when confronted with family death or sickness.
The result divided the once united and peaceful family into fragments that could take years to reunite. The shattered family graduated from hating each other to hiring hitmen to poison each other’s children, all on the advice of the prophets and witchdoctors.
In Slaves of the One They Chose to Obey, Amelia, the youngest girl and first Christian in the family, shares her story, spreading the message about the dangers of false prophets and diviners.
Slaves of the One They Chose to Obey: A Family Torn Apart touches on the family divisions that aren’t talked about in public, yet are pevelant in almost every family. In Zimbabwe, these stories are kept secret because the colonial masters made it a crime for anyone to accuse another as a witch. But this did not stop the Africans from these practices. This book is exposing what no one will dare expose for fear of repercussions.
You can find Slaves of the One They Chose to Obey: A Family Torn Apart on Amazon.

On this episode, Dr. Erhard Vogel joins the show as part of our ongoing monthly series. One of the many things I love about my conversations with Erhard is I never know where they are going to go but we always have a truly expansive and open conversation! There is so much to learn from Erhard and his teachings and I’m thrilled to have him back on the show.
I start out this episode asking Erhard about one of his recent Pearls of Wisdom from his weekly newsletter: “Examining the Falsity about yourself does not necessarily have you live in Truth”.
We talk about what examining the Falsity about yourself means (and what it doesn’t) and how we can start to gently examine Falsity in our own lives (hint, it might not be what you are expecting). From there Erhard and I discuss so many things from valuing ourselves sufficiently, to what it means to be, really be, and how you can drop all the layers of yourself that aren’t really you. We discuss how to get out of our heads so we can experience life with all of our being and I share my experience with this in a recent meditation.
During this conversation I also share an example of how much relief I feel in what Erhard and I are discussing, which illustrates Erhard’s teaching: to know and experience for ourselves.
Erhard and I really had a magical conversation with this episode and my intention is that you follow along in our monthly series and can learn and grow along the way! If you missed the previous interviews with Erhard, you can find them here: Raise Your Level of Perception to Free Your Mind and Reality Is What Is.
You can watch the video of my interview with Erhard here:

More about Erhard Vogel: Erhard Vogel, PhD, is recognized as one of the foremost meditation and Self-realization teachers in the world. Born in war-torn Germany, Dr. Vogel immigrated to the United States at age fourteen. He graduated from the Pratt Institute of Design in New York, and at an early age rose to a respected position in a world-renowned architectural firm. At thirty-one, he set aside a brilliant career in architecture to devote himself to the service of humanity.For four years Erhard, as he likes to be called by his students, traveled the globe on foot. He lived in Europe, the Middle East, Afghanistan, India, Nepal and China, thoroughly researching the ways in which people of different cultures seek fulfillment. He saw the underlying need in everyone to fulfill their potential.
In India Erhard met two of the world’s most renowned luminous Masters, who welcomed him into their midst and invited him to teach among the Himalayan sages—a rare distinction for a westerner. He lived for an extended period of time in a Himalayan cave in a remote sacred area. Living in utter joy and luminosity, Erhard remembered how so many people throughout the world suffer. He returned home to address the problems and aspirations of our contemporary society with his teachings. Following a lecture tour spanning the United States, Europe and Canada, he came to San Diego and founded The Nataraja Yoga Ashram, a not-for-profit organization.
Erhard’s teachings are a unique combination of time-tested wisdom and pragmatic method. His fundamental, experiential and systematic approach is based upon sound psychological, physiological and spiritual principles that make meditation and Self-realization practical and attainable. Erhard teaches not from books nor from other people’s ideas, but out of his own profound life experience. Through his depth of knowledge he is able to inspire and gently guide sincere students to the experience of their limitless potential. With unconditional acceptance and unwavering respect for the Being they are, he inspires his students to recognize their real Self and to treat themselves with trust and kindness.
Since 1969, Erhard has taught tens of thousands of students throughout the world. He continues to travel regularly to India and teach among the sages in the Himalayas, where he is recognized as a Master Teacher. He has authored three additional books: Self-healing Through The Awareness Of Being; Journey Into Your Center; The Four Gates: A Saga Of The Human Being On The Path From The Pit Of Despair To The Realm Of Fulfillment, From Confusion To Clarity, Culminating In The Deepest Realization; and A Dialogue With Death The Teacher Of Life: An Ancient Story For The Modern World, as well as numerous audio recordings of guided meditations and teachings. Erhard currently offers courses on site and online through The Nataraja Meditation and Yoga Center in San Diego, California. You can find out more about Erhard and his teachings here:

Time travel, science, history, and romance come together in the bestselling first science fiction novel in the Defenders of Time Series.
Book 1: Going Back
When two scientists at a symposium on time travel are killed, followed immediately by the shocking detection of a time displacement wave, or TDW—the science world is shaken by the signs of someone traveling back in time to change the past. While their identity and goals are unknown, it’s clear that they’ll have to be stopped before they change the pattern of history.
Special Agent Lou Hessman and his team are tasked with going back to the New York City of the year 1919 to find and stop this TDW. Not an easy task under any circumstance, but the question remains: Are these changes something they want to fix?

Book 2: KIDNAPPERS FROM THE FUTURE
The time travel adventure continues in the page-turning second science fiction novel in the bestselling Defenders of Time Series.
With the recent expansion of the time travel program to include Dr. Sam Weiss’s niece, Samantha, exciting breakthroughs are on the horizon. Just days before she is set to officially join the team, Samantha, her uncle, and Special Agent Hessman encounter a group of Russian terrorists who vanish into thin air and leave behind a strange type of electrified bullet. When despite all security precautions, the terrorists once again appear, this time right in the middle of the base, they successfully kidnap Samantha. Her location is completely unknown.
The team must race to uncover why these Russians, who appear to have come from the future, have traveled through time to take Samantha. Their mission is immediately clear: rescue Samantha and find out why she was kidnapped in the first place. The team will be forced to overcome their outdated technology, and Special Agent Hessman’s developing feelings for Samantha, to save her and unravel the mystery from the future.

Connie’s motivational quote today is by – Jonathan Perelman
“Content is king, but distribution is queen. And she wears the pants.”

I know I sound like a broken record when I say that sales and marketing are two very different things. My perspective is Marketing opens doors, gets attention and begins to build the like, know, trust factor. Then comes the sales conversation, which speaks to the communication flow of the sales process, follow-up protocols, product and service deliverables, building rapport and trust, accountability, etc. Marketing and sales alone cannot grow a business. Operations, cash flow, all financials, product and service deliverables, receivables, inventory control, and the list goes on for a business to stay afloat and grow year after year.
Today we are going to dig in on the marketing piece for building our client connections.
About Melitta Campbell:
Over the last three decades, my guest and award-winning business coach, Melitta Campbell, has noticed two things: that the best marketing is simple and significant, and that small business owners have a distinct advantage over their corporate cousins when it comes to achieving this. In today’s episode, she shares how small business owners can use this advantage to start working with more of their dream clients and deepen their positive impact on the world.
Melitta is also the best-selling author of A Shy Girl’s Guide to Networking, and host of the Driven Female Entrepreneur podcast.

How often do we say the phrase, “have a great day”? Have you ever really thought of what it takes to actually have a great day? How can you set yourself up to make sure you have a great day? And what that might entail?
In this episode, we are going to find out exactly how to do that! Joining me today is Jarrett Robertson, author of the book; “Make It a Great Day – How to Feel Awesome So That You Can Help Others”. There are so many “how to” books out there that involve time, energy, money, resources, memberships, coaches, etc., that you can become intimidated by it all, and it can be hard to follow through. Jarrett makes the process simple and fun and shows how easy it can be to take control of our days.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/zpoBmFZkXcS9/
Jarrett and I cover how we can make small changes in our daily routines to ensure we make it a great day. We touch on how the “news” and social media impact us and the brain’s response to this (the research he found is fascinating!), how hormones impact how we feel, what amygdala hijacking is and how our emotions get involved. We talk about the importance of setting yourself up for success with sleep (actually treating it as a bigger deal than most of us probably do), how that voice in your head holding you back is usually wrong and what it really takes to make it a great day. Jarrett offers amazing insight and a quote that will really help keep you centered and making better decisions.
If you’re tired of living the same old day, tune into this episode to learn how you can turn things around to be sure that you make every day a great day!
More about Jarrett Robertson: JARRETT ROBERTSON is a former pro hockey player and physique competitor who continues to draw upon everything he learned about overall health and wellbeing to inform his approach to life. The Brown University graduate has been a financial adviser for more than a decade and continues to run his firm in Toronto, Ontario. He is also a consultant at Canada Life.
With Make It A Great Day, he brings his message to the masses, helping more people achieve greater success through mastering their own human potential. Robertson strives every day to project positivity and aims to help motivate others to do the same by reminding us that, “Life is not too short, but life is extremely valuable. Make it a great day!”

Far too many people believe that relationships are natural. You meet someone, fall in love, plan a life together and go on autopilot. This is not a prescription for success. It’s a prescription for flying into the side of a mountain. That’s where many people find themselves at the beginning of every year. Wondering why their marriages are struggling and what, if anything, can be done to make them better. The simple answer is YES! Dr. Ronald Riggio, author and Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology at Claremont McKenna College, is here to let you in on how you can do just that.
If you are interested in getting some guidance on implementing these strategies, let Lesli know. Also, please share this show with those you know who want a better marriage on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
In any relationship, there will be times when you lose that lovin’ feeling. But don’t worry, because there are three ways to fall back in love with your partner and get the spark back! In this video, Laurie and Michael share those three ways with you and help you get your relationship back on track.
https://youtu.be/EABlLbNRSkQ
Here they are:
1) Choose To Be In Love with your partner every day by choosing positive thoughts and feelings over negative ones.
2) Handle Breakdowns in a Private setting. Always deal with breakdowns behind closed doors so that no one’s credibility or dignity are hurt. Also remember not to let things linger, it is vitally important to speak your truth in kindness.
3) Forgive – do not hesitate to offer your partner another chance or to offer an apology; after all we’re human and sometimes our best intentions go awry.

Hello and welcome to Healing From Within I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher medium and author of my newest book the last in a trilogy entitled A New Life Awaits Spiritual Guide Insights to Support Global Awakening which shows us that our challenges are not economic political or social but a spiritual disconnect from our inner true being or soul reality. I am delighted today to welcome Dr. Jeffrey Schmitt, a forty -year veteran scientist and university professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine who brings to us his knowledge of the sacred healing plant tobacco. He helped to start a company to fight diseases like Parkinson and Alzheimer’s based on this research on nicotine. He will also describe AoMR, a website and app dedicated to understanding tobacco dependence and its implications.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware my guests and I share intimate stories and insights leading us to recognize we are more than our physical body and energetically within have much knowledge and wisdom that can help us handle any challenge and create with our inspired thoughts and help from Universal Source a productive healthy and fulfilling life journey.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” : they are the result of deeper causes, so we can when we help people develop new skills and insights into themselves get beyond the need to smoke. The program has developed dares people to grow and evolve.
When Jeff is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that may have made a lasting impression on him and perhaps directed the course of his life he tells us of a time when he was about five years old and his parents took him to a Japanese restaurant where he sat in a low pit and watched them prepare the food and a woman dressed in a kimono talked to him. He was sensitive to the beauty and uniqueness of the woman’s place and food and it set up within him a desire to learn more about other places and cultures and healing through feeling connected to a higher place within himself and with perhaps Universal energy.
Jeff tells us how he became a highly respected expert in the neuropharmacology and ethnobotany of tobacco and developed a new model for treating tobacco dependence based on native principles of healing self-awareness and accountability. We all know that tobacco if smoked over a period of time and as an addiction causes irreparable damage. Understanding addiction withdrawal and the underlying conditions that lead one to a tobacco dependence or any other addiction lie within the emotional and physical structure of a person.
Withdrawal and addiction are two related but separate parts of substance use disorders. Dependence is a chemical adaptation to a psychoactive substance in your brain. When you smoke, your brain gets used to nicotine and adapts around it. It even makes more nicotine receptors to bind with more of the drug. When you stop using, you’ll feel a chemical imbalance that causes withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
Nicotine withdrawal can cause irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches, constipation, and sweating. These unpleasant symptoms can make it difficult to quit. However, addiction makes it even harder as it involves compulsions to smoke despite harmful consequences. For instance, many people start to develop lung problems or other health problems and are told to stop smoking, but they can’t. Nicotine dependence and addiction can be treated and overcome, although it may take professional help in some cases. Since tobacco addiction is harder to hide than other addictions. This is largely because tobacco is legal, easily obtained, and can be consumed in public. It has in the past been more acceptable or tolerated more so than alcoholism or drugs.
Some people can smoke socially or occasionally, but others become addicted. An addiction may be present if the person:
cannot stop smoking or chewing, despite attempts to quit has withdrawal symptoms when they try to quit (shaky hands, sweating, irritability, or rapid heart rate) must smoke or chew after every meal or after long periods of time without using, such as after a movie or work meeting needs tobacco products to feel “normal” or turns to them during times of stress gives up activities or won’t attend events where smoking or tobacco use is not allowed continues to smoke despite health problems
Dr. Schmitt tells us of the spiritual and holistic healing of the AoMR platform and app and what it provides. AoMR stands for All of My Relations and in healing it is always about uncovering the underlying causes of a disease or emotional dependence which leads to an addiction or any illness or dysfunction.
The app provides: Audio recordings that lead users through a variety of exercises that address the underlying cause of dependence on tobacco and other substances/behaviors. Also provides Audio recordings based on advanced brain state technology (binaural beats, diachronic beats and hearing frequencies that support healthy behaviors, healthy outlook and the release of addictive behavior.
Simple exercises that enhance users capacity to understand themselves and where they are on the journey to having the healthy happy life to which they aspire.
The recordings are not only powerful and effective but are beautiful as well Dr. Schmitt a musician himself has collaborated with world renown musician River Guerguerian to create custom sonic landscapes for each recording
Dr. Schmitt tells us more about the healing effects as well as the destructive effects of smoking Tobacco. Tobacco is the common name of several plants in the Nicotiana genus and the Solanaceae (nightshade) family, and the general term for any product prepared from the cured leaves of the tobacco plant. More than 70 species of tobacco are known, but the chief commercial crop is N. tabacum. The more potent variant N. rustica is also used around the world.
Tobacco is one of the deadliest drugs on the planet, and smoking it leads to more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Many people who smoke are aware of the dangers and repeatedly try and fail to quit using nicotine. That’s because nicotine is notoriously addictive, and quitting it can cause uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and powerful compulsions to use.
Smoking and vaping nicotine can lead to deadly health risks. It can also cause a shortness of breath, or create a morning cough, among other uncomfortable symptoms. Plus, areas where smoking is permitted are increasingly difficult to find in public places. Why is it so difficult to stop using nicotine despite the health risks and other inconveniences? Tobacco is one of the most widely abused substances in the world. It is highly addictive. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that tobacco causes 6 million deaths. Trusted sources tell us. Nicotine is the main addictive chemical in tobacco. It causes a rush of adrenaline when absorbed in the bloodstream or inhaled via cigarette smoke. Nicotine also triggers an increase in dopamine. This is sometimes referred to as the brain’s “happy” chemical.
Dopamine stimulates the area of the brain associated with pleasure and reward. Like any other drug, use of tobacco over time can cause a physical and psychological addiction. This is also true for smokeless forms of tobacco, such as snuff and chewing tobacco.
Tobacco use is associated with 5 million deaths per year worldwide and is considered as one of the leading causes of premature death. Comprehensive tobacco control programs can significantly reduce the prevalence of tobacco use. An important component of a comprehensive program is the provision of treatment for tobacco addiction. Treatment involves targeting multiple aspects of addiction including the underlying neurobiology and behavioral processes. Furthermore, building an infrastructure in health systems that encourage and facilitate cessation and expanding the accessibility of treatments are necessary. While current pharmacological and behavioral treatments are effective in improving cessation success, the rate of relapse to smoking remains high, demonstrating the strong addictive nature of nicotine. The future of treatment resides in better patient matching to treatment, combination or novel medications, and conceptualizing nicotine addiction as a chronic disorder which may require long-term treatment tobacco use is associated with 5 million deaths per year worldwide and is considered as one of the leading causes of premature death. Comprehensive tobacco control programs can significantly reduce the prevalence of tobacco use.
Learning more about how nicotine works in the brain and why it’s so addictive is important to understanding how Dr. Schmitt’s use holistically of the tobacco plant as a living essence which can communicate it’s healing message without necessarily smoking it. So tobacco is an ancient herbal healing substance when used in another way.
Nicotine is a psychoactive chemical in tobacco that causes stimulating effects when it is smoked. Among these chemicals is dopamine, a neurotransmitter that’s involved in reward and motivation. Dopamine release can cause positive feelings that can reinforce the behavior that leads to its release in the first place. This is an important function that helps motivate us to survive.
When you’re hungry but don’t feel like going out for food, the reward center of your brain remembers the dopamine and other feel-good chemicals that were released when you ate before. That is how addictions are formed.
Dr. Jeffrey Schmitt is a dedicated practitioner and student of the folk healing traditions of Peru and North America and over the years your relationship has shifted to working with tobacco as a teacher and catalyst for sacred healing. He tells us of his research and new awareness of sacred healing and the use of tobacco as a sacred plant used by many indigenous peoples around the world. The tobacco we will work with is from the jungles of Peru. It is pure nicotine rustica, and is used by Peruvian shamans for clearing low frequency energies, such as trauma, unpleasant fear patterns and emotions. It is also used for protection and greatly assists sensitive, empathic people when used consciously as an ally, through prayer and with intention.
This is a one-day prayerful diet with tobacco, with an opportunity to get to know it better as a spirit ally and powerful healing tool. You learn to smoke it prayerfully and do not inhale the smoke. You can also opt in to pray with it as an ally and not smoke it, as the relationship is not dependent on smoking it, but on how you honor it and call it in as a spirit ally.
The Spirit of Tobacco is a masculine energy and a fire medicine.
“To get to know this plant, the shamans create a fresh pressed drink out the leaves of the tobacco plant. Each day the shamans pray into the plant drink with prayers for the medicine to assist us, and for us to become allies with it and its powers. They would also put prayers into three mapacchos for us to work with each day. A mapaccho looks like a cigarette, but is not, as it is pure tobacco and only meant for prayerful use. Then we would pray into our tobacco drink (or whatever plant we were working with), and drink it down. We would then rest, fast, pray and dream during the day. We began at dawn and were in the ceremony until 3pm. Then we could break our fast. We did this for 7 days, as that is the minimum time for the sacred relationship to be created, and for the plant to lay its energy matrix into our field.”
Tobacco is sacred and not meant to be used mindlessly. It knows your prayers and will go to work for you if you hold it in its sacredness. And if you disrespect it, it will kill you!
We thank you Dr. Jeff Schmitt for sharing your research and insights into understanding the need of some people for tobacco dependence and the AoRM system for a look at the unhealthy factors that may lead to any of a number of addictive needs. To learn more of this holistic approach to healing go to www.AllofMyRelations.com
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Dr. Jeffrey Schmitt has discussed the story of tobacco and other addictive behaviors offering ways to understand how the brain can be trained to require continued use of a substance once the chemical stimulates receptors and this creates a feel good reaction which is the basis for the addiction. Dr. Schmitt offers a six month program using recordings music exercise and ways to know yourself in order to discover why you are addicted in the first place as we know some people can use tobacco or any product socially and occasionally, but do not become addicted and use of tobacco as a sacred healing essence to communicate with and derive benefits from this action. Even when people are aware of the many health problems and deaths generated from excessive use of tobacco often they are unable to break the habit so we must seek out new creative holistic ways to solve this issue.
Jeff and I would have you seek therapists hypnotherapists and medical advice energy healing practices such as Reiki Acupuncture Craniosacral therapy as well as programs like AoRM to find your way past the traumas fears and suffering that made you accept another unhealthy practice to handle the disconcerting anxiety and pain at the root of the addiction. There is always help available…often we simply have to ask.

Brain hormones are part of our survivor defense. Usually, we do not pay any attention to how the hormones of our brain interact with our bodies. Instead, we tend to pay attention to the effects of body parts that problems occur.
My goal is to bring awareness of how negativity stimulates specific brain hormones, promoting adverse physical effects and questionable judgment. I invite you to uncover what is actual reality.
Our positive thoughts and activities stimulate the brain to produce brain hormones that bring the body to clear thinking and calmness. When we respond to our environment positively, explore how positivity broadens the perception of reality. Are we choosing to be comfortable with a roller coaster effect of our brain?

Check Out These Highlights:
As I look back over the past 20 years of being in business, I reflect and think about the many ups and downs. After COVID my business was decimated, and I had to rebuild and rethink my entire business model.
At times it was so frustrating and other times super energizing. Most times, during my rebuild, I felt like a yoyo of emotions. Highs and lows! Again, because of my 40-year working career, I know that ups and downs are inevitable.
That doesn’t mean it is ever easy to navigate and move forward. Burnout for me was always just a step away and I sometimes felt like I was losing the battle. Help is on its way!

One of things I love most about this country is our many cultures. America is a melting pot. It always has been and if you’re open minded you can learn a lot from people who immigrate here from other places.
Full Disclosure, I have never been outside the United States. It’s something I’m embarrassed about to be honest with you because when I talk to people who do a lot of traveling they tell me just how much you can learn from other cultures.
Fay Chou was born in Taiwan and came to America forJunior High school, then went back to Taiwan for college and here she is in America again. Having been here for forty-three or so and done a number of different jobs including owning her own restaurant, she understands a lot about both the Chinese and American educational system, the differences in business as well as the cultures in general. She just wrote a book about her life where she compares Chinese and American cultures.
Fay Chou – People can come from different cultures and different backgrounds. It’s interesting to see how they come out, how they grow up. It’s very interesting for me to have lived through both cultures and I gained so much. and I want to share my experiences.
The book is called Memoir of Half a Banana and if I try to explain the title you would call me a racist. So here is Fay doing that job for me.
Fay Chou – If a white person thinks like a Chinese and identifies as Chinese then that person can be referred to as an egg. White on the outside and yellow on the inside. Conversely that person would be a banana. So I told my children about this and they said no you’re not a banana we are bananas because they are American born so I thought I’ll settle for half a banana then. So that’s the title of the book.
I love that. She brings up some interesting things in her book like the absence of Tipping and sales tax in China, the challenges and betrayal she faced in the business world and some major differences in parenting.
Fay Chou – I had very strict parents and so I sometimes felt that if I wasn’t as strong as I was I might have been pushed overboard because they treated me like a juvenile delinquent sometimes even though I was already first place in my class. They still thought that I wasn’t working hard enough. So when I had my children I did exactly the opposite. I showered them with kisses and hugs and everything and I just supported them and encouraged them in everything, so I have a very, very close relationship with my children. That’s my best accomplishment in life.
It’s fun to glimpse into the life of another person and when we get right down to it we aren’t that different. We still get teenage acne and we still go to school but here’s a difference, in the book she writes “….lockers are probably necessary for students in America because of their heavy textbooks, bulky winter coats and the system of changing classroom, but they are unheard of in Taiwan, China or Hong kong. Chinese paperback textbooks are much thinner than the hardbound textbooks in the states, but they contain no less knowledge because Chinese is a compact language…”
However when it comes to Backpack Palsy we may share a similarity. That’s a rare condition but having sloping shoulders and nerve damage from carrying around too many textbooks is a common problem. In fact in Taiwan they have to buy their own books every year and bring them back and forth to school every day so no passing down used textbooks or leaving them in your locker over there.
Differences and similarities.
Fay Chou – Even though I grew up and had experiences vastly different than anybody else the emotions that I feel are the same. Everybody’s emotions are the same. We react the same towards happy events as sad situations. and also stress and difficulties, etcetera. I want to stress that even though we can be living or we are raised in different cultures and historical backgrounds we are basically just the same human beings so we should all get along. That is the main point that I want to carry out.
For a glimpse into the Chinese people, and their culture consider picking up a copy of Memoir of Half a Banana by Fay Chou.
Fay Chou – It is both interesting and informative, I think.
I agree. It’s also fun to read.
Fay Chou – I tried to make it as humorous as possible to make it interesting reading.
She does have a great sense of humor and she tries not to take life too seriously while at the same time pointing out some very serious differences in culture. She says “…Corporal punishment was common in Taiwan’s schools the to ensure their kids behaved, some parents even game permission to the teachers to administer corporal punishment to their kids. One such parent was heard telling the teacher, “you can beat my son as hard as you want, so long as he doesn’t come home on a stretcher…” A different time, a different place but not something you’re likely to overhear in an American classroom. Plus her book is also very easy to read.
Fay Chou – English is my second language, so I don’t know a lot of big words in English. My book is very easy to read, and some of the reviews that I’ve received say that this is perfect for middle school, high school students to learn about China.
If there’s a student in your family, download a copy of Fay Chou’s book for them. It might be fun to see what they think…and that will do it for this edition of Newsgram from https://www.Webtalkradio.com

Kim Brack lives in the North-East of England, she’s had a long and distinguished career in teaching, something that was dear to her heart. Reading in her eyes opens so many doors, something as a nursery and primary school teacher she instilled into the mindset of the thousands of young students she encountered throughout her professional life.
Since retiring from school-life Kim has done many things but she still maintaines the view that reading is a quintessential core element of a person’s inner being, and for that reason as well as the joy of writing she has written two books for young children to read and enjoy.

The memoir shares highlights of a half-century career during which psychiatry underwent the most dramatic changes of any medical discipline. From psychoanalysis to psychopharmacology, from almost no effective treatments to the most prescribed medications, bringing profound changes in a psychiatrist’s role. From the esteemed “blank screen” behind the couch to the denigrated “pill pusher” in managed care.
The story is told in thought-provoking essays, poems, short stories, and scientific articles chosen for lay readers. An innovative format provides thirty-one pieces covering personal and professional themes which include “bits” of differing lengths and styles. Each piece contains autobiographical material, but it is placed in abroader context.
The poetry and prose are an absolute joy to read. The author’s command of the language keeps a reader spell bound.

Some would say the 1960’s were the best decade in American history. Those people would have to be talking about the great music, movies, fashion and the counterculture taking place. Sex, Drugs and Rock-N-Roll. I mean we met the Beatles in 1964. Elvis gave us his legendary comeback special and then we landed on the moon!
Still it wasn’t all rosey. In fact it was also called the most tumultuous and divisive decades in world history because we witnessed two Kennedy assassinations, the tragic Martin Luther King Jr. and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
In March of 1965 we saw the Civil Rights movement take a violent turn. 600 peaceful protesters were met with dogs, teargas and police brutality in Selma Alabama. It became known as Bloody Sunday. In that same month, March 1965 President Lyndon Johnson sent troops into Vietnam.
Bruce Bastion was sent there in 1968.
Bruce Bastien – I was there in 1968, late 1967 and that was a year of turmoil in the United States. Vietnam became unpleasant for most of the country and the military and the government went from being relied upon and thinking they were doing the best thing they could do for us and protecting us from Communism…it morphed into um, well, that we were baby killers basically that we were imperialists and that it was all bad. So I think the military and the government took a bad hit in that year because of the Vietnam war.
When Lyndon Johnson signed the order in 1965 he did so with the support of most of the country. That changed quickly as we began to see video coming out of Vietnam in then our first televised war. For a first hand account you can turn to Bruce Bastien and his book 13 Months: In the Bush, in Vietnam, in 1968
Bruce Bastien – I tried to make it as honest and as true as I possibly could and I’ve had a lot of the reviews just say yea, it was right on that’s exactly what it was, it reminded me of this and that.
He’s not kidding. His book offers a very vivid and very real look at what it was like to be there for a full year. This is not a Hollywood movie, it’s better because this one paints a clear picture of what it was like every day…for a year.
Bruce Bastien – I wanted to let people know what it was like to be there for an entire year. It was unpleasant, it was mundane, it was sometimes funny and you made a lot of friends when you were there doing that….
This is an excerpt from the book. Here we find Bruce in Vietnam with Larry Brown, who he describes as a good ole country boy from a small town in Kentucky. They are on patrol watching an airstrike.
“….we watched the first attack, one jet and then the other. They climbed out steeply and circled for another run. Lining up for the next run, they made their approach. barreling down the pipe with green tracers coming back up at them all the way, they dropped their loads. The explosions were booming loud and threw up lots of dirt, dust and debris into tall brown columns of smoke and dirt.
EXERPT FROM THE BOOK….
I realized once again that in the bush, anything bad could happen at any time, anywhere, and to anyone. There was no rhyme or reason….
Bruce Bastien – Vietnam is something that just stays with you forever and it’s always trying to get out and it comes out in spits and spurts through dreams or sometimes just by smelling something it’ll burst out but generally it’s tucked away, hidden down there and it doesn’t want to come out.
And he says, when it does come out it’s often subdued with alcohol or drugs. One of the great things about this book is it’s realism because it’s not all bad. You get a real sense of what it was like as you read accounts like this one. Bruce says it wasn’t that funny at the time but looking back it was pretty funny….
Bruce Bastien – 1:43 audio clip.
But that’s what happens when you’re in a scary place, afraid for life, confused about your purpose and just trying to get through another day. Your mind plays tricks. Most of the guys who went to Vietnam chose not to talk about it. When asked they usually say, you had to be there. There are lots of movies, TV shows and even video games that depict the war in Vietnam but this book is a straightforward honest look at what it was like. You get to experience life in the Bush from the eyes of a man that spent a year there, a year with one of the highest casualty rates in the war.
So grateful to have Bruce Bastian safe and home telling his story; Reliving his daily struggles with true emotion. Reliving some of the battle he encountered and as you heard, some light-hearted moments that we can look back on and smile about. Bruce is another fascinating individual sharing his life with us. Newsgram does not disappoint.
13 Months: In the Bush, in Vietnam, in 1968 by Bruce Bastien, it even has pictures so you get to see Bruce and the guys. There’s a link to the book in the show notes….And that will do it for another edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com

Pull up a chair while I discuss my experience with online dating, putting yourself “back out there”, how to prepare beef for someone you love when you don’t eat beef, and cackle at semi-bizarre food hang-up’s and cravings.
Today the Crones continue their discussion about energy with a conversation about ways to raise and direct energy as part of ritual and spellwork.
The featured Witchstone card is the Waxing Moon, the time when the Moon grows large each night until it becomes Full. The episode finishes with a Witchy hint about Setting Your Intent for the Day.
Being humble isn’t about being falsely modest. It’s an acknowledgment that there are some things you just don’t know. This is especially true when it comes to your spouse and your marriage. Starting from a place of humility about both will help when there are misunderstandings and miscommunication. Gavin Seah, author of True Humility, defines what humility is and how you can learn to embrace it.
If you are struggling in your marriage, or just have questions, Lesli has answers. Please share the show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
This podcast will share education and information about what happens when the brain hormone oxytocin is released in our brain.
Research supports that the effects of oxytocin do more than just the stimulation of labor in the birth process. Oxytocin is active when we participate in positive, affectionate, and bonding social behaviors. Be ready to join in a rhythmic activity to discover your awareness of how it makes you feel. This is the beginning of a new series about brain hormones and how brain hormones affect our mood. Our body responds to positive thoughts or negative thoughts.
I invite you to discover your awareness of your body sensations after listening to various rhythms. When we socialize and participate in positive social events, the brain secretes hormones that decrease our heart rate relax our nervous system and blood pressure.
So what if you don’t have the energy to socialize? If you have felt sad or down for more than two-three months, you may want to seek assistance from a healthcare professional. It is ok to seek help. I am sharing a resource called Amani Counseling & Wellness.
As a disclaimer, I am sharing this counseling service as a starting point if you do not know where to start. Equillla Weatherton is the Licensed Professional Counsel owner of Amani Counseling & Wellness and is open to helping you.
In his 33rd Seek Reality appearance, Craig Hogan and Roberta Grimes share with listeners the happy process of working with developers to begin to create the Seek Reality Online experience.
They discuss why a simple and complete online process for learning about what actually happens at and after death is especially needed now, as the large Baby Boom generation approaches the age when transitioning becomes their next big adventure. They are Baby Boomers themselves,s o Craig and Roberta are eager to help everyone look forward to what really is meant to be a glorious time of everybody’s life!
Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy practitioner, medium author of A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares a metaphysical view of the duality of energetic and physical life and ways to understand the challenging fast moving changes of present times as we seek to know who we are, balance ourselves and planet to reach an awareness of higher consciousness and eternal soul life. We are not having a political, social, religious or economic problem simply a separation from our spiritual connectedness to Universal life forces. I am most happy to welcome Margaret Thompson author of Finding Color in Darkness a story of the devastating results of her son John Fish’s mental health disorder and the loss of her son by suicide.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” are well aware, my guests and I share intimate stories and insights into the deeper part of our remembering that we are spiritual beings having a physical life and are much more than our physical bodies. That awareness allows us to know that we possess wisdom that encourages us to dream, learn and seek joy and happiness, beyond all the challenges a physical world presents to us. Self-investigation and suffering sometimes leads to understanding our emotions and if we have enough time in this life to truly appreciate life no matter what difficulties and sadness we endured.
In today’s episode of ‘Healing From Within” Margaret shares a truthful account of how hard it is to live with a child that has a mental challenge. In John’s case Bi-polar disorder and up and down battle with sorrow and pain was a sadness for her and her beloved son. She also shares quite a bit of information on how to help your child and where to go to find professional help because we must ask Spirit and those in our life to assist in dealing with this daunting illness chosen by a soul to help them evolve perhaps at a higher and faster level of ascension.
When asking Margaret to think back to a moment of John’s childhood that was most reflective of his sensitivities for I feel the soul comes into this life with a plan and destiny and some have greater challenges than other souls but their challenges lead to the refinement of their soul energy and greater love Margaret tells us of their deep loving connection. Margaret writes, “As a child, John was very attached to me and loved to snuggle and hold my hand. As he grew older, he would often introduce me to new music. I worked in the MTV News department shortly after graduating from college, and at a local radio station as an intern during college, so we shared a passion for music, particularly alternative music. We did art projects together, cooked together, and watched shows and movies together. When John was in middle school, he got me hooked on Grey’s Anatomy and would insist I sit next to him on the couch and watch it with him every Sunday night. We were so close. I would, however, soon lose that deep connection to him.”
Margaret tells us something of your family life and how you noticed that John was suffering from Depression. Margaret wrote, “Depression is an invisible illness. I had always believed that happiness was a choice, and that a positive attitude, coupled with a healthy diet, proper exercise, a regular schedule and enough sleep, could cure any emotional pain. Now, however, I replay my son’s words in my head, “You wouldn’t understand.” I didn’t then, but I do now, as I lower my head in shame, for my ignorance of the enormous and unbearable pain John was suffering. I tried to understand, as many parents do, but it seemed such an abstract concept to comprehend. Abstract, until I discovered my son’s lifeless body in a closet, less than an hour after we had returned home from dinner. Now, I know all too well the real pain of emotional agony. The tightness in my chest makes it hard to breathe as I relive these moments while recalling the various events leading up to and following John’s death.”
“Clinical depression is a medical illness. Neurotransmitters in the brain do not function properly. Severe and chronic mental illness can be terminal. I did finally understand, a few months before John died, during his darkest and final battle with depression, just how much he was suffering. I tried to offer help, but he had already shut down. He had been in his third, and final, partial hospitalization program. It was extended from three to six weeks. He was supposed to see a therapist when he completed the program. I researched therapists and other programs, but John would utter nonsensical things and was unresponsive. I felt completely helpless as I observed him lying in a fetal position on the couch. Earlier in the summer he had seemed so happy. Well, at times happy, at other times he was somewhere else. I think he knew it was a matter of time. But he did try. He tried to go into a private facility in September. They had no beds, and the alternative was admitting himself to a public hospital. He had done that in April of 2013. It was a nightmare. They lock you up and try to medicate you into a stupor. John refused to take prescription medication. I applaud him for that, but it is an individual choice to make. He chose to live his life while being present, even though it meant experiencing great pain, but he also experienced incredible joy and profound insights. The highs and lows of being bipolar.”
Many young men have challenges and problems during their teenage years when so much is expected of them and their brains are not fully developed till around the age of 25 and sometimes this leads to making poor choice. Can you tell us what happened when John was expelled in his freshman year of high school and what you later discovered was a better approach to young offenders?
Margaret tells the story of what happened to John, a good student and loving soul who because of his illness and lack of mental maturity made a bad choice. She writes, “Somebody had informed the Vice Principal that John was found to have several packets of marijuana and a small knife, and John was very compliant when they brought him in for questioning in December of his freshman year of high school, John was expelled.
Sheryl feels as if she was a Special Education in the NYC schools with students ranging from 12 to 15 who had many emotional and health problems that could and should have been handled differently. John could have been suspended for a short time and put under the care of a competent therapist and other people to overlook his progress.
Since that time Margaret reports that there has been much progress to deal more compassionately with young offenders. In 2007, it was commonly understood that young offenders need restorative responses to the bad choices they make, as the brain is rapidly developing between the ages of 14 and 19, and the part of the brain that processes risks is compromised through this process. Therefore, adolescent offenders should not be treated with harsh disciplinary measures, unless of course there is violence involved, but the circumstances always need to be considered. Numerous studies have proven that those who were suspended, or expelled from schools, are at greater risk of falling behind. Studies have also shown that students at risk who are either expelled or suspended become further isolated, often leading to devastating emotional consequences, such as becoming dependent upon substances, alcohol, or turning to crime or self-harm. Young people need to know that others believe in them, especially those at risk.
We can and must determine when a young person is at risk.
“At risk” can be defined by many factors. Family dynamics, traumatic situations, assaults, mental health, poverty, emotional neglect, abuse (physical and emotional), etc., all put children at risk. By suspending, or worse, expelling, these adolescents, we are sending a message that they are unfit to live among us. They are too young to be given this message, and they often act out to get much needed attention. While completing a Master of Education program, I was told that behind every bad behavior there is a reason, and it is up to us, as teachers, to find out what that reason is, so that we can respond accordingly, and with compassion.
Many parents of a child who has a mental health problem may blame themselves. Sheryl tells us that no one is to blame. We are born with a certain life plan, challenges we will encounter and relationships we may work on.
Margaret reflects on John’s time in school after being expelled and where he had certain good and bad experiences.
Margaret writes, “Those feelings of terror slowly changed as I saw John flourish into a brilliant, and thoroughly engaged young man. His young teachers adored him, and he them. He became the ideal student and role model. What I didn’t realize, back then, was that John was gay. He had a huge crush on one of the students who cherished his friendship but was not interested in a romantic relationship. This connection, however, sustained John and allowed him to thrive. John did not wish to return to the public school the following year as he was on track to complete high school in three years, advancing at an accelerated pace, made possible by the one-to-one teaching and summer school. He also did not wish to be the subject of gossip upon returning to his former school. And of course, there was his interest in a fellow student. The following year was this student’s last year. At his graduation, one student was collecting all the awards. The Headmaster commented to me that John would, no doubt, be the one getting the awards at his graduation the following year. If only that had been true, but, after the departure of John’s friend, John’s bipolar disorder (which is heightened during the turbulent teen years) caused him to crash and burn.
Margaret tells us about a suicide film Margaret has watched and what she learned from it and writes, “Last night I watched a film on Netflix, “My Suicide.” Researching the topic of suicide has helped me to better comprehend John’s torment. It is not light reading, but it is therapeutic. The film, I decided, would be another perspective for me to compile in my quest to understand what was going on inside of John’s mind; how was it that he was in so much pain that the only way out for him was to end his life?
The film is a quirky tale of a lonely 17-year-old boy who decides to make a film about his impending suicide for a film class. After the main character states the content of his film he is sent away to an institution, followed by therapy. There is speculation made about suicide and what leads a person to have suicidal thoughts. The characters contemplating suicide in the film blame their parents for either ignoring them, or for emotionally suffocating them. There are certainly many teens who dislike, and may even hate, their parents, but from my research, although these situations may well contribute to a person’s suicidal thoughts, that alone is not a clear indication that someone might become suicidal. There are humorous parts in the film about the mental health care system. It shouldn’t be comical, but it is, because the practice is broken down to a formula that is ineffective for many people. A one-size-fits all approach to mental illness, using medication and talk therapy, is dated, and not always helpful in the long term. Of course, some people have episodes of depression, or mild depression, and this type of therapy may be well suited to their needs. There are, however, many horror stories of people, particularly teenagers, whose minds are still in development, becoming more depressed after being put on medication, and who then take their lives as a result. When my ex-husband was put on medication for bipolar disorder, he became suicidal and was hospitalized. His doctor explained that it takes time to get the serotonin levels properly adjusted, and to find the right match for each patient. Many will say it’s like playing Russian Roulette. William Styron, author of Sophie’s Choice, wrote about his near suicide in Darkness Visible. He too was put on a medication, too high of a dose he later discovered, which increased his suicidal thoughts, but he had to wait two weeks to begin another drug. These are powerful drugs that can be harmful, even deadly.
Thomas Joiner, author of Why People Die by Suicide, writes that a feeling of disconnection, of ineffectiveness, and perceiving oneself to be a burden on others, are factors that, when combined with severe and chronic depression, can lead a person to contemplate, or perhaps complete, suicide. Therefore, making someone feel connected and effective, are key elements to helping someone overcome suicidal ideology.
John was bright, gifted and an old soul and Margaret writes something of his unique sensitivity. “While attending various colleges over the years, however, John became distracted by the turbulence of his emotions. His grades reflected his mindset; they were very much up and down, earning him A’s and C’s in the same subjects. Despite his emotional ups and downs, he was incredibly knowledgeable about life in general. He truly was an old soul, but this added to his pain as he was keenly aware of suffering around the world. He always wanted to help people. John was adored by the children at Star House, the home for abused children where John volunteered. He brought them Legos, played games with them, and engaged them in conversation. The director of Star house wrote a letter commending John for his compassion for these young children. After leaving Full Sail, John volunteered at the Crombie Street Shelter in Salem to help underprivileged children with math homework and technology. He also volunteered at the Open Door Pantry in Gloucester. He loved helping others, and he cared deeply for those who struggled, both here and abroad.
Many people think they have an idea what type of person might commit suicide but could be totally wrong. Margaret says she also made assumptions about what type person might attempt suicide but then realized there was much more to know.
Margaret writes, “Before John’s death I had somewhat assumed that a person who died by suicide was someone who was an outcast, a loner, and was someone who did not connect well with others. While that may well be how a person feels on the inside, on the outside, they are often very popular. I have come to recognize a common thread in the suicides of the offspring of people I have met on an online support group. Our sons and daughters were typically people who were wise beyond their years, empathetic, kind, witty, intellectually curious, and seemed to embrace and enjoy new adventures, and life in general. They were often deeply loved, comical, and creative. That was their public persona but, behind closed doors, out of sight from others, they wept. They did not want others to know their pain. Many went to great lengths to hide their torment, so as not to burden others. Perhaps their ability to experience emotions so deeply caused them to feel tremendous pain, but they also knew immense joy. That is the definition of bipolar disorder, great highs and deep lows.
Sheryl says It is also the gift of sensitive healers who are empathic and intuitive at a high level and can sense people’s discomfort their emotions and often their pain and dysfunction but healers and mediums like myself learn to know that much of what they are feeling are not their own feelings illness or sorrow. They are picking up the energy thoughts and physical sensations of others and can help these people to validate and heal many of these problems.
Margaret gives some quotes from some famous people who have committed suicide over the last few years.
Robin Williams’ friends: “He was always happy. Everyone adored him.” Kate Spade’s Dad: “I just talked to her an hour before and she was planning a trip. She was just like her brand – happy, cheerful and full of color.”
Anthony Bourdain’s best friend: “He loved his life and had this extraordinary ability to just connect with people.”
So, let me say this really loud so the people in the back of the room can hear me…SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO CHECK ON THOSE WHO SEEM THE STRONGEST. 1-800-273-TALK
Margaret might like readers of Finding Color in the Darkness to take away with them after reading your book what she wrote, “Although I have realized that I must forgive myself, the consequences of my inaction will forever haunt me. At the risk of sounding repetitive, I most likely could not have changed the outcome, but I would be more at peace with myself, knowing that I had tried to do everything within my power to save my son.
There was a publicity spot that appeared on a Facebook site, Living with Hope After Suicide Loss, in which a teenage girl is fixing her scarf around her bald-head in the mirror. Her mother, standing behind her, says, in a raised voice, “You’re not the only one with problems, you know?” The next scene shows the girl lying on her bed, while her father screams at her, “I’m tired of you and your pity parties!” The tagline reads something like, “We wouldn’t treat someone with cancer this way. It’s time we treat those suffering from mental illness with the same care and compassion.” The point I like to make is that not all battles are fought on the field; many are fought within.
Depression is an invisible illness. We may never know the struggles others might have, but we can always be kind, choose our words carefully, and respond with love and compassion, to any circumstance.”
We thank Margaret Thompson, author of Finding Color in the Darkness for bringing light and awareness to a painful sadness for many parents living with a mentally challenged child and finding the courage to learn to speak out and help others dealing with the same situation. If truth be told I doubt that any family is not touched by members who experience some level of mental health issues.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Margaret has shared life with a sensitive son who marched to his own rhythm, intelligent and gifted he was unable to sustain the pressures and issues of an outside world mindset that is often insensitive to the most severely challenged of our population. Having dealt with this situation in my own family I know how hard it is to be unable to help this child’s sister mother or father deal with something that causes them so much pain and makes their choices so limited.. We can in the end only love them and try to support their journey knowing that they are growing in soul awareness even though it may seem at times a hopeless or wasted life. Indeed it is the soul journey they have to experience and in the end will be free to live in eternal life
To understand how best to look at what seems like a tragedy read what Margaret wrote,
“I wrote the following response to an angry mother who posted on the Facebook support group, that her daughter had been selfish and cowardly:
I cannot be angry with my son John, because he suffered so much, off and on, throughout the years. I caught the end of a report on National Public Radio about suicide. The speaker said that a person with suicidal ideology slips into a state of madness and develops a distorted sense of self and others before taking their life. It is neither a selfish act, nor a cowardly one. It is a desperate act, to end the unbearable pain. People with severe depression who contemplate suicide can barely form words, let alone thoughts, in their final days. They do truly believe that others will be better off without them. The world around them is a blur. My greatest torment is knowing how much pain my son was in. As his mother, I wanted nothing more than for him to be happy, but bipolar disease is a horrible beast, and IT took him away from me. He would never have done this to hurt me, in his right mind. His beloved dog, who he called “my baby girl,” was near him when he hanged himself upstairs last November. I’ve struggled with posttraumatic stress, and enormous grief, but have a great therapist, and have learned to accept my new life, both the moments of profound joy (knowing that life can be tragically cut short), as well as accepting the profound sorrow. I take nothing for granted, and I do take comfort in knowing that my son no longer suffers.
Please try to forgive your daughter. You will be forever stuck in your pain if you do not. People sometimes implicate others in their suicide, but it is only in the state of paranoia and madness that is brought on by severe depression. I can’t speak for those who complete suicide under the age of 20. Young minds are not yet developed, and decisions can be made without the ability to understand the consequences. Teens who have been bullied are at greater risk of suicide. For those who make it into the adult world, if they are mentally healthy, they can usually overcome most of life’s problems. When the problem is within, however, the obstacles many of us face may become intolerable. In most cases of suicide, the person who completes suicide struggled with mental illness, off and on, from an early age.”
Margaret and I would have you remember yourself as a spiritual being of love who at the present time is having a physical experience which offers us the chance to self-investigate this short physical life to find beyond the suffering and challenges a way to when it is our time to find the way back home to eternal life.

Many women have been programmed to believe that self-love is selfish and that self-sacrifice is a virtue. Many focus their desire for love and wholeness outside themselves and onto others, such as their partners, their family or their career, only to feel disappointed that they don’t get back what they give. When that happens we slowly lose our power because we are spending so much time/energy focused outward that there is nothing left inward.
Is simply loving yourself more the key to overcoming all those years of programming and how we take our power back? My guest on this episode is Jenna Banks and we are talking about self-love and reclaiming our power. Jenna shares her experience on what brought her to loving herself MORE than anyone else and how you can do it too.
Jenna shares some very easy and quick ways to tell if we are loving ourselves or draining ourselves and what we can do to get ourselves back on track. Self-love isn’t all bubble baths and spa visits (although that can be part of it!), and we touch on ways you can bring self-love into your daily routine, what a power container is and your come from energy. We also talk about having compassion for ourselves, the importance of taking time for ourselves and really how we can step into owning our power.
If you are curious about improving your relationship with yourself, how to incorporate more self-love into your life and how to reclaim your own power, this episode is for you!
The playlist mentioned in this episode can be found on Spotify and Apple Music.
More About Jenna Banks: JENNA BANKS is an entrepreneur, public speaker, author, podcast host, real-estate investor, and self-love advocate. Her new book titled “I Love Me More: How to Find Happiness and Success Through Self-Love” is scheduled to release March 2022. Having survived a traumatic upbringing, as well as a nearly fatal suicide attempt, Banks was able to thrive in the business world, despite being armed with only a high school equivalency diploma.
Early in her career, she worked in management and entrepreneurial roles, producing marketing products for major movie studios in Los Angeles, including Sony Pictures Entertainment, Paramount Pictures, and Warner Bros. She has also worked in the toy and games industry, including with well-known brands such as Hasbro, Mattel, and Lego.
As someone who learned to never question her instincts, Banks trusted the inner call to quit hercomfortable six-figure corporate job and start a home-based marketing products business in 2012 with $400 and a laptop. While running the company, Banks simultaneously ramped up a profitable real estate venture and then later sold her marketing products business for $500,000.Since selling her company, she’s now focused on what she feels is her higher purpose: to share her story and her message of empowerment and the incredible importance of self-love with the world through her writing; speaking engagements; The Jenna Banks Show, a podcast and video series; and her newest lifestyle brand, TigerFeather.
When she’s not working, Banks enjoys collecting fine art, playing tennis, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and connecting with and inspiring other women to succeed and be empowered.

The author decided to publish a book for the general public. He is convinced that it is a doctor’s responsibility to educate and to make knowledge available as well as understandable. This book contains scientific information written in non-scientific language. Depression Kidnapped My Wife is an easy-to-read book for husbands, boyfriends, fiancés, husbands-to-be, and significant others who are interested yet puzzled about how to help their wives.
Depression or major depressive disorder is a common, relentless, and many times devastating disease that affects around 14 percent of all women. It gets worse if untreated but can be completely resolved if treated timely and adequately.
SUMMARY:
-
Depression is more common in women than men.
-
By nature, men are less likely to reach out or offer help.
-
Depression frequently goes unrecognized and untreated.
-
This book explains how to help your wife through this ordeal.
-
Remain hopeful.
https://www.amazon.com/Depression-Kidnapped-My-Wife-Husbands-ebook/dp/B07FY6P52H/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=bernardo+ng&qid=1639062298&s=digital-text&sr=1-1
Shinete Christina Maunze was born in Zimbabwe and educated in London. She’s an interesting woman with a fascinating story to tell…so she did in her new book Slaves of the One They Chose to Obey: A Family Torn Apart. This is the true story of her family and how it was destroyed by unscrupulous, ungodly prophecies, false-prophets and witch doctors.
An important takeaway here is that you don’t have to be from Zimbabwe to believe in witchdoctors. We put our faith and trust in the wrong hands everyday right here in America. People are misled all the time and there’s not much we can do about it on this episode of Newsgram but if you look for similarities between your culture and Shinetes you’ll probably find them.
Her story is about a once loving family who learned to hate each other enough to hire hitmen to poison each other’s children, all on the advice of the prophets and witchdoctors.
Shinete: (Who They are). Witchdoctors, prophets or diviners are people who explain phenomenons or misfortunes that happen in families and for every misfortune families, who do not believe in God, they think their misfortunes can be explained by these diviners.
Her father didn’t believe in diviners but he wasn’t a Christian either. Sometimes he’d visit mediums, attempting to find explanations for the sickness and misfortunes that were affecting the family. During every consultation, the result was the same: they lied to him. So, refused to pay their fee and then one day her fathers best friend Mangidi paid him a visit.
Shinete: (Mangidi) Mangidi killed my father. Of course, he didn’t believe in God. That’s why he was easily manipulated by people who don’t believe in God to kill somebody else who was like my father.
She says the witch-doctors and false-prophets sole aim is to gain power and control over their victims by instilling fear and confusion in their minds . These are good people, trusting people who came to them for help. People like her niece…
Shinete: (Skarlet) My niece scarlet, she could have just divorced her husband but she was afraid because of what is expected of young women in our society. She ended up getting rid of so many pregnancies, one of which killed her.
She offers a more thorough explanation of what happened to her family in her book Slaves of the One They Chose to Obey: A Family Torn Apart.
Who do you turn to when you have questions? Where do you go for counseling? Who do you pray to? These are all deeply personal and highly individual so it’s important to keep an open mind. Depending on your beliefs seeking the advice of a Cult-Leader, a Medium or a Witch Doctor may seem like a logical solution. It’s why she wrote this book
Shinete: (People need to know) People have got to know what is happening. I know nobody wants to talk about these witchdoctors, prophets in case you get a curse, that’s what people think, I said people have got to know what is happening in families.
And a great way to spread the word is by writing a book. Of course there are other ways. You could throw a beer party.
Shinete: (Beer Parties) There are two types of Beer parties. There are beer parties which are organized in order to fund-raise. They sell all sorts of things, beers, even sweets and then there are some that are organized in order to get help from the neighbors so you can brew beer and call the neighbors from the next village and they come and help you with the harvest. You have to provide food for them and beer and they help you out.
A community working together for the enjoyment of beer. A beer party sounds pretty good right now. Let’s all go out to our villages, brew some beer, bring in the harvest and talk about ways to unite our global community.
The book Slaves of the One They Chose to Obey is available now and there’s a link to it in the show notes.
And that will do it for another edition of Newsgram.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
Putting together a group of words that tell a story, create a melody, or evoke an emotional response is a very powerful thing. I admire the people who do it well. In fact, when it comes to creative careers I think the writer is on the top of the pyramid.
How many times have you gone to the movies because the picture you wanted to see had one of your favorite movie stars in it, but you left hating it because the story was terrible. There can be a lot of reasons for that but many times it’s the script. Or, let’s talk about that romance novel you just finished. Trashy? Maybe. Was it porn? That’s debatable, but the story was sizzling and you loved it so much you couldn’t put it down. Maybe you’re a horror fan and you still can’t go into a cornfield because of Steven King.
Writing is a powerful thing and one of the genres I’ve always admired is poetry. It’s a complicated style that I’ve never mastered because poetry can be concrete or it can be abstract. It doesn’t even have to make sense. It can evoke feelings or paint vivid pictures in your mind’s eye or it can be a collection of rhymes that just make you feel good.
Today I’d like to introduce you to someone who does just that. Lorraine Burkey. She has been thinking in rhymes since she first wrote a poem to her high school sweetheart. That was decades ago and today, finally, she has a book of her own. It’s called A Little Birdie Told Me. I loved the title because if you ask a writer where they get their inspiration they usually say it comes from everywhere or they have no idea where but one thing for sure, when it comes it comes in waves and you simply can’t ignore it.
Lorraine (Inspiration) What inspires me is when somebody says something in a way that triggers what i think about what they said and it just starts coming to me and I have to stop whatever I’m doing and write ‘em down or I can’t do anything else but think about that poem I’m writing in my head.
It’s a feeling that can be addicting, in a good way. Here’s one of her poems that sort of illustrates that fact.
Where did these poems come from?
I really couldn’t say.
A little birdie told me,
So I can remember it that way.
Lorraine is such a kind, sweet soul and you can really see that in her poetry.
Lorraine Burkey: O.k I will start off…Fairy tale Frog
That would be perfect. It’s very sweet and it was written for her husband Steven, who pushed her to get to work publishing these poems. She thanks him in the book.
Lorraine Burkey: Love stories are for romantics who believe in fairytales. That’s just fine and dandy till you go to hook up with males. Ive had my share of frogs but nothing happened there. I gave up looking and life was empty air. One more frog came hopping by and luckily it was you. Fairytales may be a joke but dreams still do come true. Happily ever after is expecting quite a lot, but our love is something special and we’re giving it all we’ve got.
Her poems are a breath of fresh air in a complicated world. They are a reminder of things we once knew but somehow got lost along the way. Her message is kindness, love and doing right by others. They are about living in the moment, having faith and keeping the spirit of Christmas alive all year.
Lorraine Burkey: It’s just good feelings and love and we all want that all the time. It has a message that hey, things are gonna be ok. Things are great and we want to share that message with everybody because Christmas is love.
And I guess what I like about it most was she did it her way.Lorraine, can you read My Way
Lorraine Burkey: That would be fun, it started out for me and mostly just for fun, they help me sort my thoughts as I change I’ve never done, if something sounds familiar, no doubt been said before, I just had to say it my way it means just that much more. So as I pause to share these with whoever you may be, you can be sure as life goes on, many poems are yet to be. No matter how you change or how far away you roam, maybe something in my words will bring their meaning home.
A Little Birdie Told Me is Lorraine Burkey’s lifetime of experiences in rhyme. Simple, powerful rhymes filled with love. Exactly what the world needs right now.

Thank you for coming back to the final podcast on A Mindful Look at Motivation and Learning.
The last theory I will discuss includes many processes and supporting theories. It is called Transformational Leadership. This style adjusts to many variables to help their group achieve the ultimate vision. The leader uses a high-performing style of communication and goal setting. It drives inspiration and motivation as strategies to overcome challenges. This theory appreciates communication and feedback.
From a mindfulness perspective, this style appears to ensure that team members have what they need to succeed. The leader is continually open to feedback and does not hesitate to share a compassionate style and strategies to convince the team that each member is a valued member. Honesty and integrity are core expectations. The leader’s success is valued when each team members know that they are vital for the success of the vision.
Our guest today is someone whose personal journey nearly ended at the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013. Jennifer Kauffman was right on top of that bombing, just a few feet away from people who were killed or severely injured. And she was wrecked by that experience, both physically and mentally. She was so deeply devastated that she felt she had no choice but to begin a course of transformation from the inside out that has given her a whole new life! I
t has resulted in a book, in a successful coaching and speaking career, and now in a transformational movie that she has produced, directed, and starred in, called There’s Got To Be More To Life. It’s based on the true story of her own journey from barely surviving to really thriving. Jennifer’s website is jenniferkauffmann.com.

Welcome to “Healing From Within” with your host Sheryl Glick author of The Living Spirit: Answers for Healing and Infinite love and Sheryl’s newly released book, completing the trilogy, A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Share Global Awakening which shares stories of spiritual awakening spiritual communication healing energies miracles and ways to understand life in both its physical and emotional context. We learn our challenges are not merely economic, political or societal but a deep disconnect from our true being and soul wisdom. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Randy Taran founder and CEO of Project Happiness and author of her newest book Emotional Advantage which provides insights into the lessons negative emotions have to offer so you may take control of your emotional life for transformation and progress.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” are well aware, Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and insights into our dual nature of physical and energetic life and explore areas of self-awareness, self-realization and self -investigation as we learn to master our emotions and move from fear trauma or misconceptions opinions or beliefs that hold us back from realigning to higher vibrations or emotions of happiness and joy. It is in understanding the true nature of who we are and where we come from that we begin to make better decisions and choices for creating lives of personal growth, prosperity and happiness.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Randy Taran will share ideas and techniques that may guide you to the emotional advantage of being aware, skillful and resilient no matter what situation you face. As a producer of an award -winning documentary on the nature of happiness working with George Lucas Richard Gere and neuroscientist Richard Davidson and also working as a board member of the Dalai Lama Foundation Randy shares thoughts on happiness habits, preventive wellness and emotional resilience.
Randy’s book is called Emotional Advantage: Embracing All Your Feelings to Create a Life You Love. Randy tells us what made her start to think differently about her emotions, and goes on to say that she had been focusing on happiness in the institute she had established and received many questions on how to deal with the flip side or reverse of happiness which are the negative emotions like sadness, sorrow fear and anger. Randy and Sheryl discuss the question: what if instead of hijacking our mind and traumatizing us or putting us in a state of self-doubt or resistance, we could use the messages of these events and emotions to create new perceptions and opportunities to live a more fulfilled life journey? It turns out we can learn how fear moves us to courage, how guilt can clarify our values, and how anger can help us create healthy boundaries.
Randy shares the kind of research she has focused on as her findings are based on neuroscience and how we can use this knowledge to support and happiness.
First Randy says that she is not a researcher—her specialty is curating the best of what’s out there from psychology, neuroscience and mindfulness and translating it into actionable tips and challenges that we all can actually use in everyday life. Science tells us that” we can change our brains” and rewire the pathways to higher awareness and functioning and that’s good and well and this book tells you how.
Everyone at birth is given a spectrum of emotions. Randy find the emotion that was hardest to write about she would have to say was shame that was challenging—it’s something we don’t talk about much –its deep in the dungeon of our minds. Fear, sadness, anger were runner ups and the thing is they all can help guide us to our best lives if we know how to work with them.
Sheryl says that she has been fortunate to have been wired as part of her intuitive healing and mediumship skills to help people and to be consistent and wholesome in her responses to people…Sometimes when she gets angry when people act inappropriately she forgets she is only human and deep feelings make her uncomfortable in her spiritual body, but have not often acted that way towards others. Still Sheryl feels sadness at the pain others inflict on others. As a medium and empath she has felt the shame, fear, sorrow , anger as well as the joy and love of her clients. One day in a reading Sheryl saw a doll like Raggedy Ann fall down and was so weak she couldn’t get up and the client told Sheryl that doll represented her for she was sexually abused by her father as a child and she couldn’t understand why he would hurt her that way. She felt shame for something her troubled father did and Sheryl immediately told her she was not a victim but a hero as she survived, and she should not think of it any longer, as he was the problem and needed help. The past is gone and only a memory but if we think about it in the present moment, we are reliving the horror or sadness. Sheryl is not sure why people who are hurt by others feel shame but sometimes they do and it affects them in many negative ways till they can realize the truth. Sheryl says she has probably never felt shame for she knows every experience we have is programmed into our soul life journey and how we handle it to the best of our ability is the only reason some of these most difficult experiences happen. If we learn to accept and surrender to the challenge nothing can really hurt us and we can resolve most issues with greater love and compassion for ourselves and others. It takes awareness and practice.
In Randy’s opinion the most common way people deal with difficult feelings is in two ways—wither they let it ALL out, (explode, wail) or keep it all in (stuff the emotions, take things out on yourself instead of others)—denial is pretty popular too. But the thing is, when we suppress what we’re feeling, those feelings become monsters. When we see them, and accept them ( hey ,nobody’s perfect—we’re not supposed to be) we get to work with their information and architect a life we love.
Sheryl says that the word “Perfection” is such a source of conflict for most people. Some children have assumed it is their job to make everyone happy and if they don’t succeed at that, which of course is impossible, they have failed themselves and have not been able to live up to the expectations of parents, teachers, colleagues and so on. In Sheryl’s book The Living Spirit in regard to this mistruth Sheryl wrote, “Recognizing another avenue for finding happiness is possible when we finally admit, “Not only are we not perfect, no one is perfect.” We must continue to learn what makes us tick, and what makes others react as they do, but should acknowledge that we can only change ourselves and our outdated thinking by realizing we are responsible for our own actions. The choice to accept others and ourselves with our frailties and sometimes negative behaviors can be hard, yet it is necessary in order to have times when we feel we are on cloud 9.”
Randy shares some of the authors or healers who have inspired her during the creation of Emotional Advantage. Oh so many: brene brown Kristin Neff, Dan Siegel, Rick Hanson Richie Davidson, Tal Ben Shahar even Rumi, Marcus Aurelius too, who writes, “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
Randy has incorporated experiences that have happened to her and your loved ones into her book. That inspired parts of the book certainly—It’s why she started this whole journey in the first place, but Randy could not have written it if she herself wasn’t looking for answers. What she learned is that making friends with your so- called negative emotions, the shadow side gives you more awareness hence more choices and leads to a sense of well- being peace and gratitude for being free of engaging any negative feeling for too long. Know it and then release it allowing for more positive events and feelings to surface.
Living in Silicon Valley, Randy has seen all the stress people go through at work and in study influenced her interest in mental and emotional wellbeing. It’s here for sure and everywhere. It’s in the air we breathe our addictions to our devices the pressure to be seen as perfect. Four out of ten people in the US self-report as lonely; it’s an epidemic. The WHO has declared depression the greatest cause of disability, even ahead of heart disease, and that’s globally. One in five people say they deal with anxiety, even kids. This is a wake -up call for all of us.
Sheryl says In her new book A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening she recognizes that it is not the political, economic, social or religious issues that are the real problem we are facing worldwide. It is a spiritual disconnect from our natural loving state of being to Universal Source and to the goodness and compassion that is being stifled by the outside world. Looking “within” to the true source of the eternal circle of life is the way past harmful negative emotions and events and the path to peace which is simply knowing who you are as eternal spiritual beings having a physical life for the purpose of refining your magnificent soul potential and energy no matter what life challenges you face.
In Randy’s opinion the genre of emotions is so special. We have an inner compass inside of ourselves and we’ve forgotten how to use it. And in a culture that values appearance over authenticity, we often ignore the clues our emotions are giving us to help us navigate. It’s easier when life is good but complex in times like these. We need to be able to work with how we are feeling, and that does not mean stuffing it away and pretending that it’s all good. We need emotional literacy to have emotional intelligence and most people have no clue what their emotions are trying to communicate.
Sheryl responds, “Reiki energy healing sessions help a person to connect to this internal guidance system and wisdom and perceive new thoughts that can enable them to start to make changes in their health plan and relationships. Feeling your essence experientially is the best way to know what is best for you.”
The one thing Randy thinks readers generally don’t know about emotional intelligence and will be surprised to learn is that we all like good emotions like happiness and desire, but what we don’t realize is that even the toughest emotions are sending messages to alert, protect and fuel us forward. The good news is that this can be accessed if you know how. Randy loves the quote by Jon-Kabat – Zinn, “ You can’t stop the waves but you can learn how to surf.”
One of the most astounding things Randy learned about feelings when writing is that we don’t have to live on alert that our emotions will “take over our lives. When we welcome or embrace all feelings and listen to them, they have the power to bring us back to our strongest selves, capable of not only self-love but to having wonderful relationships with others and above all aligned to our true nature of goodness, kindness and compassion.
Randy has incorporated many of the tenets of Project Happiness into this Emotional Advantage. Yes, she has incorporated many of the tenets from Project Happiness. Mindful Monday, Gratituesday, Wellness Wednesday Thoughtful Thursday, Freedom Friday, Social Saturday, Soul Sunday these actually reshape –the neural pathways of our brain, but it goes further delving into the science of tougher emotions, and challenging the reader to USE the wisdom of ALL emotions—yes, even sadness anxiety anger and fear to inform our awareness and choices. The result: we are not a victim of circumstances to regain the power to create a life we love.
Sheryl often says to people…. “No one takes your personal power away unless you allow it and if people act badly it is their problem not yours.”
Without giving too much away, what vital resources are you giving your readers. Every chapter has tips and strategies both to reflect and challenge questions to meet where you are and inspire you towards creating your better life. Let me say one thing—this book is not about being happy all the time: A—that is not possible and B—it’s the fastest way to become Unhappy! Happiness is not the absence of obstacles: it’s an inner reservoir that helps us handle whatever comes our way.
Sheryl asks Randy: in a culture that tells us to push down our emotions and worries in order to work harder, how important to you is it that people are able to deal with difficult feelings without becoming overwhelmed? Randy tells us it is important when people get overwhelmed, they either fight, go into flight or get paralyzed and freeze. Our emotions are telling us to recalibrate, when to course correct, and when to take a break. The idea of crushing it, killing it and dominating leaves no room for self-awareness and self- care—it’s antiquated—people may rally in the short run, but we’re seeing more anxiety burnout depression and suicide and a declining life expectancy rate than any society before us. With self-compassion, people are more resilient, more productive and simply have better lives.
Randy tells us that literary success to her means giving people proven tools to take charge of their emotions and their lives. Her dream is that this book reaches people everywhere, especially people who need a little boost and it will not only shift their lives but the lives of those around them. The message is clear; pure grit is not enough. With self-compassion, people are more resilient, more productive and simply have better lives.
Sheryl thanks Randy Taran, author of Emotional Advantage for providing a powerful way to discover how useful emotions can be in guiding us towards a healthy and productive life.
In summarizing today’s episode we have come to see all our emotions as necessary and useful for helping us be aware of who we are and what we truly need to live our best lives resonating with love and connecting to our inner intuitive wisdom for being at peace. We have discovered that we often have hidden our feelings and may have experienced guilt or regret and may find that those times were the pathway to becoming more aware and aligned to life. We have also discovered how we have the personal power to grow beyond the negative emotions and conquer fear and limitations to make choices that ultimately bring us to a higher state of knowing and loving this challenging physical life experience.
As Randy wrote, in this journey of demystifying our emotions we have learned that there is a reason for every emotion to exist. Each plays a role in guiding us back to our true nature. The world preaches separation, lack, competition and conflict. We are born in wholeness, innate peace, and full awareness. We can choose to believe we are not enough, or we can cut through the illusion to connect to the fullness of who we truly are. Each person has the capacity –no exceptions.”
Randy and Sheryl would encourage you to simply feel more deeply as in this time in a spiritual evolution there is much trauma and drama being created and we can grow more aware of the gift of life and Spirit if we embrace our feelings and find the opportunity for personal growth in all that we must experience to finally realize we are spiritual beings having a physical life and all is well.

Connie’s motivational quote today is by – Paul Ryan
“Behind every small business, there’s a story worth knowing. All the corner shops in our towns and cities, the restaurants, cleaners, gyms, hair salons, hardware stores – these don’t come out of nowhere.”
https://youtu.be/gJLJqNMEOKo
Check Out These Highlights:
I’m asked all the time, why I started my business. For me, it was about gaining control over my time, income, and choosing to serve others in a bigger way.
Over the past 20 years working with corporate clients as well as business owners directly, it has become clear to me that owning a business is a calling. We choose the uncertainty of a steady paycheck, market fluctuations, new technology, and the list of uncertainty goes on. So why do we choose that path?
Dr. Dale and I are going to dig in and discuss the challenges small businesses face and the future of entrepreneurship.
About Dr. Dale Caldwell:
Dr. Dale is the executive director of the FDU Rothman Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. He has become an important voice for entrepreneurship in NJ. He graduated from Princeton University, received an MBA from the Wharton School, and a Doctorate from Seton Hall.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
The thing about men is we like to cook outdoors. Maybe it’s primal. An instinct that can be traced back to Homo Erectus thousands of years ago.
The cookout is a safe place. It’s a social gathering, a meeting place, a romantic place, a fun place to tell stories, cook s’mores or plan an ambush. It might be a necessary way to eat if you’re out on an extended hike or just a fun adventure with the kids but the fact remains we’ve been doing it for a very long time. No matter who you are and where you came from, somewhere in your past you’ll find men cooking over an open flame.
Maybe it was that caveman that stumbled on an animal burned in a fire and decided to eat it, only to find that it tasted pretty good. Did that even happen? I don’t know. What’s important is our love affair with outdoor cooking pre-dates us and that love affair with backwoods cooking has evolved into some highly sophisticated Barbeque. You should see my new Traeger grill…but we don’t have time for that right now.
So where am I going with all this? According to Julianne McLean and Mark Lynch, authors of the book Barbies 4 Blokes, men like to barbecue because we are attracted to cooking where danger is involved.
I hadn’t thought about it that way but what a great point! Our rugged, primal style of outdoor cooking is also a tad dangerous and that adds another element to experience.
So now that we’ve established why we do it let’s get into how we do it, with an eclectic assortment of BBQ recipes from around the world.
If you look up this cookbook on the Internet you’re going to be immediately drawn to it’s cover. It’s a cartoon that takes place in heaven. Angelic men with wings and halos are, drinking beer and cooking hot dogs over a Weber style grill. A cloud floating just above them is full of lady angels with the caption, ”Somehow I thought it would be different up here”.
You can tell right away that this is not your ordinary cookbook. When you open it up you find more cartoons, really funny ones, and great fish and seafood recipes like, Whole Barbecue Snapper, Barbecued Trout with Almonds, Spicy Tuna Steaks on Sewers, Marinated Chili Prawns and the classic Lobster in Garlic Butter Sauce.
The recipes have all been provided by Australian celebrities and there’s something in here for everyone. (Read with an Aussie accent) It’s a bloke’s ultimate Barbecue and Beer guide. Yeah, you’re right, I should probably not do the accent but you get the idea.
And…the really great thing about this cookbook is all of the profits from the sales of Barbies 4 Blokes go to the Black Dog Institute.
Black Dog is an independent, not-for-profit medical research institute for the treatment of mental health. According to their website, 1 in 5 of us will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year. In Australia that’s around 5 million people. And roughly 60% of these people won’t seek help.
Let’s give the team at Black Dog with their mission to understand, prevent and treat the significant mental health challenges that we face nationally and globally.
Barbies 4 Blokes is spelled with the number 4. It’s a fun coffee table book, a great resource for outdoor cooking and it’s for a great cause. You can download this book for only a few bucks but I would suggest buying a hard copy. It’s available wherever you like to shop for books.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram.
Since the world began man has looked to the heavens in wonder about his place in the world. Who am I? How did I get here? What does it all mean? To that end, there are two primary schools of thought that have emerged. Science and Religion. There is a third party who believes in nothing but they are as likely to gain favor as a third party candidate is to get elected president. Oh yes…we’re going to have fun today!
On this edition of Newsgram we’re going to try and figure it all out with Charles Pallaghy, a Christian and a Scientist. He’s been both for most of his entire life. Charles is a born again Christian with a PhD in biophysics. You see where this is going? Those are two sides of the seesaw in the playground of life. For those of you would say Science is wrong and so is the bible, then this show is probably not for you. But if you believe in one side or the other then what Dr. Charles has to say may be of interest.
So, Evolution or Creationism? Wars have been fought over that one so don’t expect to get the answer on today’s edition of Newsgram, but we’re going to explore Charles’ findings and then we’ll let you decide. Charles once believed that Science, physics and chemistry to be exact, would provide all the answers. Not so anymore. His views have made him a controversial figure.
Charles Pallaghy (Controversial) I am controversial but it’s only controversial because I believe the bible literally.
Charles set out on a quest to find some answers in the late 70’s and quickly came to realize that evolution theory is not only false but he calls it a cancer. He published his findings and wrote a book about them called “The Bible and Science” and it made his science buddies very angry but the truth is, when you set out on a mission with an open mind, you simply can’t argue where the data takes you. For Charles the proof was in the book…
Charles Pallaghy (Harmony) Lets’ stick to the bible because I don’t think there’s harmony between science and the bible.
Fair enough.
Charles Pallaghy (They think I’m Controversial) I attended a church meeting where a famous physicist was talking about creation. I attended because I thought this was good because he would bring physical evidence about the world created in the word of God but he totally ignored the book of Genesis and at the end when I asked him, what about this and what about that verse, it totally contradicts your view on creation because it’s totally evolutionary, doesn’t follow the bible and of course the entire congregation including the minister were very angry with me and I think people wished I’d never attended.
Now that it’s pretty clear where Charles stands on the subject we need to have a look at his current book End Times. For most of my life I’ve been told we are living in the end times. How many times have you heard that the end is near? It’s starting to feel like Chicken Little and I imagine Charles felt the same way so he takes a deep dive into the book of Revelations in his book and pays particular attention to God’s timeline.
Charles Pallaghy (Timeline) 3:07
So a day was a thousand years and man’s life has slowly been getting shorter and shorter. He makes a good point but what about the end? Is it near? One thing we know for sure is the end will be marked by the second coming. In his book he writes,
“‘…The Bible provides sufficient information for that , but not for us to calculate the exact year of the second coming! There are too many variables in our calendars and where exact cut offs between phases may have been. But the patterns are certain and set in concrete. God works in ‘Weeks”.
That’s not just me being evasive. Charles makes excellent points in his book illustrated with charts and pictures to help give the best indication possible about the End Times. He says the best thing you can do is establish a personal relationship with God and don’t be a casual-Christian
Charles Pallaghy Looking at my own church I can see people who are really all out for God and there are some who just come along on Sundays and they’re wonderful people, there’s nothing wrong with them, their happy enough to receive the benefits of Christ but that’s where is sort of stops….and so many people say we believed in Jesus and we’re saved and that’s it. It doesn’t matter what we do now, we’re saved but actually all of God’s promises in the bible are conditional, if you do this, if you do that, if you follow me, if you pick up your cross daily and the thing that gets me about the book of Revelations is that the standard becomes higher right before the end.
A passionate man with a clear message. He feels pretty strongly that God has provided the answers concerning His coming. The question is, are you willing to come on that journey with Dr. Charles Pallaghy to deep dive into the materials available to find the answer? It’s all in his Book End Times: According to Scripture available pretty much wherever you like to shop for books.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram, from Webtalkradio.com.

Fantastic Florence – It’s NOT your fault! is a series of books for children. Each book tells a story about a child, or children, experiencing different traumatic experiences.
Florence is a wise and loving magical bag who hears the thoughts of children and writes them messages when they are suffering. Florence reassures the children in each story that the painful challenges that life is currently presenting to them are not their fault. She encourages them to speak to someone they trust about what is happening to them.
Each story is designed to be a safe space for children to see themselves in the story’s characters. The stories can open the door to the hard conversations that children need to have in order to begin the healing process. The books are meant to be an invaluable tool for parents and caregivers, therapists, and educators.
In A Story About Bullying, a young girl named Ella is being bullied by two of her classmates. Because Florence can hear the thoughts of children, she hears Ella’s pain. Florence uses her magic powers to soothe Ella’s anxieties by encouraging her to reframe the situation and reach out for help. Florence’s brave, caring insights and message help Ella feel supported and less alone, and to realize that it is not her fault that she is being bullied.
Children and adults are sure to fall in love with Florence as she gently helps children navigate the specific traumatic situation they may currently be experiencing but are too young to understand. Florence gives children a name for the trauma they are experiencing and, most importantly, she comforts children by telling them that it is NOT their fault when bad things happen and that it is okay to reach out for help.

Every now and again on Newsgram we like to take a glimpse into history, after all this is a show about interesting people living their lives in interesting ways. So today we’re going to meet two women Abigail Adams wife of the second President of the United States, John Adams and Mary Mauch author of the new book Wild Colts Make the Best Horses: The Intrepid Life of Abigail Adams
Mary Mauch (Based on Facts)…and I base it all on facts, so I always try to bring in her own words, or John’s own words to back up what I say about this. It’s a miracle that he left for France or that he left for Philadelphia. They corresponded, so we have a first hand account of the things that happened in the revolution. It really shows the sincerity of these men to get it right so there would be justice and liberty for future generations.
The title is taken from Abigail’s grandmother.
Mary Mauch (Parents Concerned) Her parents were really concerned because this child was vivacious, outspoken and so determined.
She always said that positive things would come from Abigail’s….well, at the time they were called eccentricities. So she coined the phrase, “Wild Colts make the best horas..” Abigail became a great mother to her children, who were most of the time without their father. He was gone for nearly ten years. She was also a charitable woman who history would record as one of the strongest and most influential women of her time. Not to mention resourceful…
Mary Mauch (Gunpowder) She was a hands on Mother and a hands on Patriot. John wrote her that we need gunpowder and ammunition because this rag tag army just wasn’t prepared. She experimented with urine and rainwater at the farm and concocted her own gunpowder. Little John Quincy recorded in his journal that she even molded bullets in her own kitchen.
That’s right, you heard her. She said Urine. Evidently it produces Potassium Nitrate that was used to make gunpowder but that’s not important right now. Abigail’s determination to support her family and the cause they desperately believed in was beyond admirable and that support had its consequences.
Mary Mauch (The baby) They were expecting their sixth child and John wanted to be home for that but John was head of the board of war. Two days before the birth the baby she could feel was struggling violently inside of her, so two days later, this is typical Abigail, she wrote to John while she was in labor and then their long awaited baby daughter, who they were just so waiting for, was still born. And when I had to read these letter…I mean I sobbed. She was like my best friend for nine years you know, and she had to bury that child without her best friend nearby her. The things these people endured for this nation. She was such a patriot she would have done anything for this country.
Mary is a passionate writer and you really feel her sincerity in this book. It might be because many of the things in Abigail’s life parallel her own, of course nothing more than the passion they both shared for this nation. Her book includes actual conversations as you heard her mention taken from letters of correspondence, and there are photographs! Always a bonus. Her passion makes this an easy read and you really get a sense for what it was like during the early years of American independence.
She says both John and Abigail shared a single treasured pleasure and it was receiving each other’s letters. They didn’t just enjoy the correspondence but they recognized the importance of preserving it. When I read that I thought to myself wow, I thought this was biographical history but it’s also a romance novel.
Mary Mauch is the author of Wild Colts Make the Best Horses: The Intrepid Life of Abigail Adams. Here she is reading one of Abigail’s letters. This one was written shortly after he became president, a time when a woman’s opinion was rarely if ever elicited or expected…
Mary Mauch (The Letter) In the new code of laws for which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies – That is her most famous quote – be more generous to them than your ancestors. Don’t put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands, remember all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies we are determined to implement a rebellion and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice for representation.
If you enjoy history, well told history and you want to learn about one of our nation’s strongest first ladies I think you’ll enjoy this one.
Mary Mauch (Ahead of her time) She was so far ahead of her time because she was for the abolishment of slavery, she wanted women to be able to participate in government, she understood that just being home with the children sometimes wasn’t enough.
Politics, Romance, History and the page turning passion of Mary Mauch. What’s not to love? Order up or download your copy of Wild Colts Make the Best Horses: The Intrepid Life of Abigail Adams there’s a link to it in the show notes.
And that will do it or this edition of Newsgram.

Based on the book Happy People Happy World by Vincent D’Souza
Welcome to Newsgram
What do you say we make this a happy day! Whatever time it is right now, let’s make the rest of the day a happy one. Why, because a positive attitude is like a beacon of light. It’s a literal magnet to attracting more happiness. Have you ever noticed how happy, upbeat people are always surrounded by others? It’s the law of attraction, but that’s not where we are going today. Sometimes it’s not easy being upbeat and positive. Take for instance the case of Vincent D’Souza. Vincent is transgender, with a decent childhood but one that was mentally, emotionally, and spiritually difficult and there’s a reason I’m pointing out his gender. It’s not easy to be positive when you can’t love yourself. We’ll get into that deeper in a little bit.
Let’s first get into the book. It is called HAPPY PEOPLE = HAPPY WORLD: Prayers to Heal People and the World.
Vincent (Inspired) This book was inspired at a time when my brother was terminal with cancer.
Obviously this was a difficult time for him, like it would be for anyone of us. It was at this time that he received…well…let’s just call it, inspiration.
Vincent DeSouza – At that time, I got what is called in the book the seven stations of the healing cross and that was a way of forgiving yourself and forgiving anybody you may imagine had done anything to you and working up to a higher level where you became one with God. Because once you forgive yourself then you are pure and you go up the scale until you are back to oneness.
We all have demons to battle and skeletons in our closet and it can be hard to move past them. His brother passed away and it was the experience that caused him to look at life in a more spiritual way, realizing that loving and forgiving yourself as well as everyone else is critical to your own well being. It was this way of thinking that you see reflected in his book. In it, he has developed a more precise form of prayer. Take for example the Hail Mary.
Vincent DeSouza – ok the Hail Mary is a important because I agree with the Catholic one but the revelation I’ve got from Jesus through a book called the way of mastery, is because we are spirit, the image and likeness of God having a material experience we cannot sin we are just having experiences there is no right and wrong so in the Hail Mary I’m not saying pray for us sinners now, no, pray for us the children of God, which follows form the “Our Father”now until our victory over the illusions of sin, disease and death. Sin, Disease and Death are just energy changes. We are perfect spirits, complete in every way, experiencing creation, advancing the frontiers of creation.
Maybe we should drill down on that one a little bit. If you are a spiritualist then this is nothing new. You’ve heard this before; the idea that we are spiritual beings that live on forever. If this sounds pretty far-out then lets see if we can get a better understanding from a scientific point of view.
Vincent DeSouza – Physicists talk about Quantum Physics. In the quantum field there’s infinite possibilities and potential so that’s a good description of God but the quantum field can not create things. It needs humans like us in this dimension to create things and that is where we are children of God, created by God, to experience creation and advance it.
A quantum being with infinite possibilities that also has the ability to create. The easiest way for God’s creation to advance is by raising its vibration or simply put, by being a loving person. They just vibrate higher than eternal pessimistic types. He says, when we bless ourselves, we bless all of creation and that uplifts us to the higher vibrations of peace, awareness, love and light. So his book takes many of the traditional prayers that you may be familiar with and adds a spiritual twist to make them a little more precise adding elements that address all of creation. What am I saying here? It’s not about you…well it is, but it’s more about us.
I promised we’d get more into Vincent’s sexuality so let’s go there now. Living his life as a man with a wife and children he realized that in order to truly love others, you need to love yourself.
Vincent DeSouza – I was pleasing my family. I had two daughters in high school and then as not to interfere with their careers, then for my wife, then we divorced, and still accommodating them you know to keep the contact, I was codependent, until about two years ago I finally realized that no, I need to do what is best for me, and it was FREEDOM!
So Vincent underwent gender reassignment surgery and has never looked back. And, because of the religious nature of this podcast you might be wondering, In God’s eyes was that really the best thing to do?
Vincent DeSouza – There was a gay Jew, very rich who invited them to a party, so they went to the party and on the way home one of the followers…he said to Jesus, ‘Rabbi, is what that man is doing right”. And Jesus’ answer was brilliant! Would the father make a mistake? Who created you? You’re God’s image and likeness. You cannot sin. You are just having experiences and the father is having them through you. You reap what you sow.
Newsgram is all about interesting people living their lives and Vincent DeSouza is definitely an interesting man with a message of peace and love. His book HAPPY PEOPLE = HAPPY WORLD. Prayers to Heal People and the World is available now online at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and other places. As usual, there is a link to it in this show’s description.
Wishing you peace, love and higher vibration. That will do it for this edition of Newsgram from Webtalkradio.com.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram
Today I’m going to talk about Blue on Black crime. We’ve all heard the stories of unarmed men, most of them African American who were shot for reasons that seem inconceivable; Cases like George Floyd. Now, this show isn’t going to get into the specifics of all the different individual cases. It’s more about getting to the core of why they happen, why there are so many, and why they’ve been going on for such a long time. Wherever you live, in whatever state you’re hiring this there are probably cases that immediately come to mind. Linger on that thought for a minute while I introduce you to Vaughn LeMon. He is a black, patriotic American man. His words not mine. He is also a former police officer.
Vaugh LeMon – I remember one case down here in the state of North Carolina. It was a traffic stop in which a police officer had stopped this man. The man was unarmed but his paperwork was not correct on his vehicle and a police officer was questioning him and it got to the point where the man got out of his car and just took off running from the police officer. Leaving his car right there, the police officers car behind his and he started running away. So the police officer tased him. He shot tasers at him and what he did was he took the tasers out, threw the taser cords back at the police officer and then turned around and continued to run and then the police officer shot him in the back nine to eleven times. Then, when they called for a backup he got together with the backup officer and they devised a story on the scene about what to say what actually took place. They said the man took the taser from him and proceeded to attack the police officer with the taser but what they were unaware of was that someone was recording everything that happened on a cell phone. If it wasn’t for the recording, they would have got away with it. So you say why didn’t they just continue to chase him or say, heh, I m not gonna keep running after him, I don’t feel like running. I’ll just take his car. I’ll have it towed down to impound. I’ll hold what paperwork I have and make him come to me. That’s the way I was trained. I’ll just make him come to me I don’t have to chase him but instead he decided to shoot and kill him over a traffic stop. So these are things that compelled me to write my book.
So he wrote a book called Blues in Blue, and in it there are other stories just like this one but there is a lot more. It is a biography based on his experiences in the 70s and 80s. Personal experiences with his job training and the racism and discrimination he dealt with first-hand. We’re talking 40-50 years ago and yet many of the things he talks about in his book are still happening today. He says a lot has to do with training.
Vaugh LeMon – When we get out on the pistol range we all have targets that we are gonna shoot. The targets are very large, rectangular cardboard pieces of paper with a black silhouette of a person in the center and we’re to shoot for the center mass of that black silhouette. So the Sergeant is behind us, we are all standing at our post. He says red Line Clear, clear on the left, clear on the right, clear in the center. All right lets shoot these Niggers. Fire! And when he said that everybody started shooting. I stood there and I pointed at the target until my hand even began to shake because his words were going on in my head. If I pull the trigger then I’m shooting not just the target. I’m shooting at niggers. I’m shooting at black people. I’m shooting at myself even. And it started getting to me. Then, I went ahead and rapid fired. I went over to him and I said shoot these niggers? He looked back at me with a grin on his face like it was a joke. Like it was funny to him. He said LeMon, one guy from your troop a couple of weeks ago, put eyes, ears, nose and mouth, fingers and a watermelon in his fingers on his target. So that let me know that this is not just a joke, it’s a part of his training. Their training ‘em and this person made his target look personally like what he wanted to shoot at. He made it become alive; A black person. That’s the way they were being trained.
I don’t think that is something you’re likely to hear in this day and age but who am I to say for sure. Discrimination takes on different forms and arguably the type that is less obvious can be even more dangerous. Anyway he did report the incident and the training officer was removed for his actions but this how that information was delivered to the troops.
Vaugh LeMon – And then he openly says before everyone, the situation with officer Lemon and what so and so, the range sergeant, we removed the range sergeant, and we’re putting him in a different department because of the situation that took place with him and with officer Lemon. Sigh. and everybody started turning around and looking at me with these hard hateful looks. I wish that at that point I could have turned into a little fly and went into the corner of the wall. I mean it’s not like a normal job where you have a situation and you go to HR and they handle it. On this job everybody wears a pistol or carries a rifle. So when everybody is looking at you with anger and they all got a pistol on their hip it can be a bit antsy. And he wanted everyone to know that there was a situation. We removed this sergeant and it was because of LeMon. So he’s putting it out there and that was a challenge and from that point on in my career on the job was a challenge . I was planning to stick this out but they started coming after me. They really started coming after me.
Again, would that be something you’d see happening today. Maybe yes, maybe no but have you ever heard the expression “.history doesn’t repeat itself but it rhymes…” He eventually left the police force. A job he loved and was planning to do for quite a while.. In preparation for this episode I went to his website and this is what it says.
“The things that are happening today are so eye opening because they are parallel to what it was like for me so many years ago. I see so many black and brown men and women and indigenous people being killed and brutalized by police officers that are showing no regard for the law and the life of others. This goes back to how they are being trained, and how society is becoming tolerant of these incidents. Also some of the attorney generals and police unions are giving them a false sense of security that it’s ok that you can beat up people, you can shoot people of color, you can brutalize people of color, and we will back you up. Some, not all of them, are fighting for these rogue officers in court so that they can get away with it. You see what’s taking place, are these police officers have a pistol on their side, they are loaded with bullets, they are wearing their Kevlar vests, they have their blackjacks, they have their tasers, they have batons, and they have their spray and they’re attacking unarmed citizens, and then saying well, we were afraid.
So why is there so much blue on black crimes? In order to find the answers Mr. LeMon draws on his personal experiences and offers up some very candid answers in his book The Blues in Blue
Vaugh LeMon – My story is the Blues about what it was like to be on the police department the blue is the uniform the blue is s the story and you have to read my book to be able to see the rest of my thoughts as regarding to how this bitter situation can have a sweetness at the end.
His book is easy to find but if you want to learn more about him I would suggest visiting his website vaughnlemon.com. There’s a link to it in the show notes.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram
Based the book VALIENTE: Courage and Consequence by A.G. Castillo
I couldn’t think of a better time than right now to talk about student-athletes and Basketball. At the time this podcast is being written we are staring straight down the alley-top of the NCAA playoffs. No? How about the Free-Throw Line?
Anyway, depending on when you are hearing this show, it may or may not be time to work on your bracket but lets sets all that aside and focus on the story of Chante, a High-School athlete that once took a moonlight jog and unleashed a series of events that would test his fortitude, challenge his courage, and awaken feelings he had guarded and suppressed all his life.
You’re probably saying hey wait a minute Sam, is that real because it sounds like fiction. Well, you’re right it’s a story called VALIENTE: Courage and Consequence. It’s the first novel in the VALIENTE series by A.G. Castillo and it’s coming to my attention during college basketball season so let’s check it out.
A.G. Castillo – It’s just the Angst of a teenage life as he comes to terms with who he is.
That’s A.G. Castillo and yep, that’s pretty much it but there’s a lot more. Let’s start with the cover. It features a Basketball player, in uniform holding a basketball and another shot of him in shadow praying to the rosary. On the Bottom of the book there is a group of young men on a cliff.
A.G. Castillo – All of it is symbolism. Holding a rosary and praying, the Jimenez’s have a strong Catholic conviction and so his mother has an alter where she prays and lights candles every day and prays to it so that was why that image was there but the guy holding the basketball with the lights on him, i mean he’s a stud athlete and the lights are always on him and having the courage for people to see him on the stage for who he really is is part of the novel and then of course the very bottom you have that one who is being helped. Well, those are his friends helping him over the cliff.
This is a story about Chente Jimenez, a Latina high-school athlete with very strong family ties.
A.G. Castillo – I wanted to have a strong familial setting with a Latino culture. I wanted a character that was going toe universal that could transcend the barriers of stereotypes and sexual identity, and i wanted it to be something that was current and relevant. For me Valiente is just a tale about a star athlete who is struggling with who he is, trying to come to terms with the reflection in the mirror and a latino family who is close knit but they fight hard but love harder and the things that happen to him that surround him throughout the book. He has to have the courage to accept the reflection in the mirror but there’s consequences as well.
The first thing he has to deal with is the unexpected death of his father and his best friend’s suicide. He also struggles with the pressures of being student athlete and all the things that come with growing up. Here’s an excerpt from the author.
A.G. Castillo – (Reads Excerpt)
High-School can be brutal. Dealing with all the pressures that come with it like bullying and sexuality issues are sometimes too much let alone family pressures and those that come with being a starting-point guard.
A.G. Castillo – Being a teenager back in the 80’s when I was teenager was tough but it’s just tough right now being a teenager there are so many things that I never had to deal with, social media being one. This was targeting more teenager – young adult.
The valiant series includes three books:
Valiente: Courage and Consequences,
Valiente: Tattoos and Temptations and
Valiente: Flames and Fury
If there’s a young adult in your family or circle of friends, I think they’ll enjoy this one. You can read an excerpt or learn more about the author if you visit his website A-G-Castillo dot com. And there’s a link to it in the show notes.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram, from Webtalkradio.com

Today Dr. Lycka welcomes Jim Kukral to the show. Jim retired from his 25-year internet marketing career to start a passion project called Life Apocalypse. The best way to describe it is with an example. You could spend the next 20 years dealing with that boss who you never really liked, or you could make half the money and be happier and live at home. For some people that is what they are doing. It’s a revelation that could lead to a better life. Is it for you? Tune in and let’s see.
Guest Bio:
For 25-years Jim Kukral has been writing books (10), keynote speaking (150+), and building successful lifestyle businesses as a marketing entrepreneur. He is the creator of Life Apocalypse to help people like him who are thinking about legacy, death, lifestyle, and life purpose. Many people he has spoken to have told him that after this pandemic they want to do things differently. They want to live and think differently. They understand that the world could literally end any day now.

The author spent years attempting to understand how her life was fractured and flawed while living under a patriarchal regime. Because she believes women’s unique stories are integral to supporting other females enduring similar traumas, she now shares her personal experiences in order to support fellow women during times of injustice, uncertainty, and fear and ultimately lead them out of the darkness into the light of healing to realize their self-worth.
This poignant narrative is shared to seek clarity for the author as well as other women who experience life fractures. Amy provides a candid glimpse into her own challenging journey through life. She endured a dysfunctional childhood, rape as an innocent teenager and then entered into unhealthy relationships that led her to eventually lose her children in a custody battle, fight addiction, and finally to realize recovery, true love, and new beginnings.
A LONGING FOR JUSTICE is a memoir of grief and loss as a young woman battles to emerge from her obstacles and replace despair with integrity.
https://www.amazon.com/Longing-Justice-Patriarchal-Society-ebook/dp/B096ZD4LR6/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=longing+for+justice+Amy+croft&qid=1637773904&sr=8-1
Vaughn LeMon has been married to his wife Tara for the last fifteen years and presently lives in North Augusta a small town in South Carolina in the US. He was born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania but attended school in Wilmington Delaware where he developed a passion for numeracy.
Vaughn distinctly remembers sitting feet away from a young US Senator who came to his school, that Senator is now President Joe Biden. Art college ensued, as did the US army, coupled with a three-year stint in various state Police departments. A career in the world of financial services was his ultimate choice leading him to setting up his own business ‘Lord and LeMon Financial & Alpha Mortgage Company Inc, operating in Delaware, Atlanta, and Brooklyn ,New York. Church ministry plays a very important part of his life particularly supporting those he sees as being overlooked to access their finances the way God planned.
Mentoring young entrepreneurs with motivational speeches delivered through seminars and conferences to bring about their business ideologies and dreams alive is a fundamental core value in Vaughn’s Christian approach to supporting others in the highly competitive corporate world of today. Something he relishes daily.
https://youtu.be/adhQ2oHqgUc
You might well be forgiven for thinking that Vaughn’s book, ’The Blues in Blue’ is in some way linked to the corporate world he has so cherished to work in for the last twenty odd years. Well let me reassure you it has absolutely nothing to do with the rat race of the financial sector.
It is in fact a personal testimonial of the institutional racism he as a black man faced, endured during his three years as a law enforcement officer in the various state Police departments back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, not by the general public I hasten to add, but by the state Police departments themselves. The prejudices and injustices inflicted upon him by the state Police hierarchy back then left him so traumatised that it is only now he has been able to talk publicly about those dark days and the stain it left on his character for the rest of his life. He believes the systemic racism that existed then and to certain extent today is down to the training police officers were and are given.
The killing of people of colour at the hands of white law enforcement officers on the streets of the USA for matters that could have been addressed differently with the right training, have long been highly contentious, inflammatory issues that have polarised Americans down the decades, cumulating in the George Floyd riots during lockdown in 2020. The slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’ was emblazoned everywhere, something Vaughn as a man of colour himself considers to be a controversial statement; for him ‘All Lives Matter,’ including ‘Blue Lives,” a reference to Police lives.
The book is an intense insight to three years of Vaughn’s life as a state Police trooper and the institutional racism he faced and had to endure until he left for another life. Jealousy is very much apart of this courageous book.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Vaughn for allowing me to talk to him about his police days and all that he had to suffer, and tolerate.

Natalie Reeves Billing is a British children’s author from Liverpool. She’s a mother, wife, social entrepreneur, TV personality, and one of her many journeys in life is to fire up the imagination of young children’s power of thought, through visually dynamic books, books that are stunningly illustrated with vibrant eye-catching pictures to capture a child’s attention, as well as creatively written. Natalie is passionate about getting young minds to see the world through figmental literature.
Natalie has published eight books, some of them come under the rubric of her Monstrous Me series which include various titles like ‘My Mummy is a Monster’, or’ My Brother is a Monster’ to name but a few. Other books in her repertoire include ‘Ben and the Bug,’ a book she wrote to ease children’s anxiety about Covid -19.
However, the book I really want to talk about is her latest book Bernie and Boatie, this is a book she has written for children, again vividly illustrated by Lisa Williams and adorably well written. It’s a book that tells the story of two characters Bernie and his boat (Boatie) as they row across the Atlantic Ocean on their own with all the joys, spills, ups and downs, as well as the perils that come with such a sea adventure.
https://youtu.be/pOq-xnWkGSA
The book correlates closely to the ‘BoatofHope’ campaign, started by Bernie Hollywood OBE to raise over a million pounds to support two charities Samaritans, and the rowing charity Love Rowing to address depression and mental health issues among young people across the globe. Bernie’s latest challenge is to row single-handed unsupported 3000 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean as part of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge in December 2022, one of the toughest and most demanding races a man can face.
Bernie Hollywood OBE JP over the years has raised over forty-two million pounds for charitable organisations he’s passionately associated with, not just in the UK but globally as well. He’s spoken to community leaders across all divides at both national and local level. Addressing the United Nations in New York about his work, zest to make life better for those who are proned to vulnerability and marginalisation in society was a relished experience.
Have a listen to the video it’s powerful and at times emotional.

Today the Crones share where they came up with their definitions of what a Crone actually is and how someone can be a Young one as well. They think a Crone should be defined as someone who has worked to gain enough knowledge and experience in some area of life, whether magickal or mundane, to make them somewhat of an expert. This means anyone can be a crone, regardless of age. The Witchstones Oracle card for this episode is West. The podcast wraps up with a witchy hint about Magickal Convertibles, and not, this isn’t about cars!

How many of you are worried about money these days? Maybe 2020 got you looking into things and you found that what we’ve been told about money, building wealth, how the banking system works isn’t exactly what we thought it was or have been told over the years. Asking questions about topics such as this weren’t even socially acceptable to ask a few years ago, and you may have been called a conspiracy theorist in the past for asking them.
We’re going to get to the bottom of some of those questions today. My guest this week is Tim Picciott, The Liberty Advisor. Tim is not like other financial advisors. He has an amazing story to tell you of being true to his beliefs and finding his niche to help clients with advanced financial planning solutions. Tim’s website actually says “Congratulations on finding one of the only Financial Advisors that has taken the “Red Pill.”! This is exactly what drew me to him and why I wanted to get him on the show. If you are red pilled and you know the Federal Reserve isn’t actually federal or a reserve and you’re aware of the Great Reset and are looking for alternative ways to preserve assets, such as crypto, this episode is for you.

You can find out more about The Fear & Greed Index Tim mentioned in this episode here: https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/

He works with Bitcoin and Crypto early adopters to provide advanced financial planning solutions to help them pay as little taxes as legally possible on their highly appreciated asset(s).He also advises crypto-enthusiasts as to how they can invest into “Crypto IRAs” using self-directed IRA’s and 401(K)’s. Tim’s contrarian viewpoints and handle of Austrian Economics makes him an incredible asset for those who aren’t looking for cookie-cutter financial advice.Tim has been featured on many big name alternative media shows including: The Corbett Report, Tin Foil Hat, Cash Daddies, The Crypto Show, The Bad Crypto Podcast, Press For Truth, and Tim is a current contributor to World Alternative Media, Union of the Unwanted, Freedom’s Phoenix and former contributor for We Are Change.

We are continuing in our series on looking at motivational theories from a mindfulness perspective.
In this episode, I review Herzberg’s Motivators and Hygiene Factors. I pull apart the motivation and hygiene factors and illuminate ways to incorporate mindfulness focus factors. I suggest that hygiene factors intertwine with mindfulness elements to melt dissatisfaction. As a result, motivation factors will grow stronger.
I propose the goal of an organization or interaction include compassion, kindness, and nonjudgmental contact. I invite the thought to welcome lifelong learning principles to sprout a positive growth mindset so that everyday interactions are fruitful.
Positive outcomes resulting from individually valuing each member of an organization or relationship could radiate increased production, realistic expectation, and stronger motivation to achieve an overall goal.January 31, 2022
Connie’s motivational quote today is by – Yohance Salimu
“Success demands we defy our imaginary boundaries.”
Check Out These Highlights:
Owning and running a business is not for the faint of heart. I know through the past 20 years there have been some lean months and others where I felt like the Midas woman and everything I touched seemed to turn to gold. I have a feeling that most business owners don’t necessarily take a monthly paycheck, rather they pay themselves when there is extra money in the business cash flow for the month.

“Creativity involves breaking out of expected patterns in order to look at things in a different way.”

Check Out These Highlights:
As I reflect on my life and having a dad who was an engineer by trade, I was taught how to look at any situation, problem, or life event through a lens of logic.
This is funny because I remember as a kid loving to draw and create pictures of landscapes with horses, colorful sunsets, a field of trees and flowers, and the list goes on. I’m not sure what happened or why I stopped drawing and using my creative mind.
I think as my life became busier with academics, sports, working part-time jobs, family obligations, friends, and boyfriends, (you know you have this type of list too) life just got too busy and I stopped creating pictures on paper and canvas.
Guess what? Today is the perfect time to get excited about creativity and how it can transform your life. Some tools may work in your personal life and not in your professional life. The cool thing is that tapping into your creativity is something that enhances every aspect of your life. And here’s a secret…everyone is creative.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and spiritual messages that show us our challenges are not and economic political or societal but a disconnection from our inner soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Forrest Rivers, author of Covid 19 Humanity’s Spiritual Awakening which shows us that there is good to come out of the pandemic’s tragic and chaotic nature and that Unity and Compassion are on the rise as a result of what the world has lived through.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate insightful stories of finding out more about our dual nature as both physical and energetic beings who when they merge the wisdom of their intuition and connection to Spiritual or Universal Energy with ego based mind decisions are better equipped to create the best version of themselves and offer through this awareness of higher consciousness more to their families and communities. We explore life both in the physical realm and beyond, becoming aware of the eternal nature of life and the interconnection to “All that is.”
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Forrest Rivers an author and inspirational speaker shows us that though Covid 19 has been a harbinger of mass chaos and unspeakable tragedy for many people if we are able to still our minds and quiet our fears we can start to see a different narrative emerging: one of hope personal empowerment and spiritual awakening.
When asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place event that may have signaled to him what lifestyle interests and work he might pursue as an adult Forrest immediately tells us that when his Grandfather who was Greek was in the hospital and sleeping Forrest felt the need to place his hands on him and ask for his grandfather to be healed. Perhaps his spiritual quest or need to serve and help others was a strong part of his life plan and destiny.
Forrest goes on to tell us of a more powerful spiritual awakening that he was now able to understand beginning at the age of 30 while on an awe-inspiring trip to Maui Hawaii where the enchanted island and the profound healing power of the Earth spoke through to his heart and helped him overcome a difficult period of alcohol abuse. After the transformative experience Forrest became interested in the spiritual traditions of the Far East and began to immerse himself in the teachings of Buddhist Hindu and Taoist mystics and took the pen name Forrest Rivers in honor of the Earth and her profound healing power. In the future Forrest hopes to start a wilderness retreat center that focuses on the spirit of service and inner work.
This story reminds Sheryl of an author Dr. Vernon Sylvest, founder of the Institute of Higher Healing and Healing Waters and author of The End of Fear; The Path to Freedom who had such a place in the mountains of Charlottesville North Carolina before his passing. Sheryl took two planes including one smaller plane that bounced in the air over the mountains before reaching the hidden mountain lodge and once there Sheryl enjoyed the simple mountain air while learning about nutrition, quiet walks on mountain trails, yoga with a master teacher and experiencing Healing Touch which is slightly different than the Reiki energy healing Sheryl .practices.
Forrest began to write this book Covid 19 and Humanity’s Spiritual Awakening when the outbreak began Forrest like Sheryl thought how bad can this virus really be? It was apparently worse than we imagined and then again it was handled politically before a presidential election to score points against President Trump who had to work with the many ramifications of a plague never before experienced by the world. Hospitalization and fatality rates reached alarming levels, businesses were forced to shut down and record numbers of people filed for unemployment benefits. Meanwhile shoppers fearing a breakdown in the national food supply resorted to panic shopping. The economy went into a complete free fall as American state governments tightened shutdown orders to suppress the outbreak. THEN the murder of George Floyd an unarmed black man was the catalyst to tip the scales of justice as this horrific event coincided with the peak of the first surge of Covid-19 setting off a wave of destruction and violent protests in most major US cities. Together it seemed like the apocalypse had arrived.
Forrest remembered the words of the wise and late spiritual teacher Ram Dass who wrote, “Suffering is the sandpaper that awakens people.” Some myself included might go as far as to say that this pandemic appeared in part to awaken us from our collective delirium of mindless conformity and separation so we might remember the values of love innocence and beauty of our childhood and return to values that nurture the soul as well as the physical body
Forrest might like to convey the thought that we have a choice how we respond to the challenges of Covid 19 and other problems facing our world now. Either that these unsettling times can make us feel more divided alone and afraid or they can empower us to look within, and realize our common ties with all of humanity. Never, have we been so united in our mutual experience of suffering. And at no other time have we all been deeply called upon to transcend all that separates us. Amid all the fearful media coverage and chaos surrounding the pandemic lies a truth now revealing itself. That something is the greater need for unity and compassion. For the first time possibly since World War 11 the whole of humanity has been forced to confront the painful truth that a collective mindset of ignorance, intolerance, hatred and greed only winds up producing negative consequences for us all. Covid-19 has had the effect of exposing long standing societal injustices that have left many questioning the values guiding humanity. In America the crisis has made it clear that the needs of living and breathing people should come before the pursuit of profit for a wealthy and connected few.
Many Hindus have long believed that the Cosmos moves in a perpetual cycle between the dark ages those defined by (ego discord and contention) and ages of enlightenment in which awareness of our divine nature prevails. We may be in the opening stages of a planetary shift in consciousness from such a dark age to one of enlightenment. The Hindus believe we are still in the dark age they call Kali Yuga.
Sheryl tells of becoming ill with the Covid Plague as she likes to call it at the end of March 2020 with what she thought was her yearly bout of bronchitis. As she watched on television and saw more symptoms being revealed she realized that this was different from past infections. Her neck swelled, her throat was so sore and her ears hurt and she simply had no energy to get out of the chair. Something was very different. Then her chest hurt and breathing was difficult and she practiced expanding it to get some relief. AS she sat there meditating, she did self- healing Reiki as Sheryl is a Reiki Master Energy Healer and asked Spirit why as a healer she was experiencing this toxic illness. After recovering and returning to hosting this radio show Healing From Within, Sheryl had a guest who told her she had been unable to help Covid patients with Distant Healing as the energy was so strong in the chest in most people infected, that it was too hard to stay with the connection. After she herself had Covid, it seemed that resistance to the worst of the symptoms was achieved, and she was able to help many others after she had conquered the disease as well. There was as there always is, a reason for everything that occurs. Life is not random and the experiences we are having are part of our life plan or destiny. and leaning into challenges, instead of resisting, helps to handle any issue more effectively with better results.
Forrest observes that the hallmark of any spiritual awakening is to confront fears of death. This is important for it allows us to live our lives with a greater sense of freedom and equanimity. Many seekers of eastern faiths believe that making peace with the inevitability of our death is among the highest spiritual practices we can pursue. When we transcend our fear we unlock a gate to live more fully in the present moment so we can follow our Dharma, our cosmic destiny and all of humanity benefits. Covid 19 has provided us with a unique change to engage in such spirited reflection on our mortality. And to serve as a dramatic reminder that one day, sooner or later we are all going to die
For many like the story Forrest tells of his soul brother Alex, this pandemic and the ensuing economic collapse has only confirmed that we all need to return to a simpler more loving life, perhaps live a job or a toxic relationship and follow a dream that we may have not thought about in a while.
It is fully within our power to shift the negative aspects of Covid from one of fear and hopelessness to that of seeing this moment as a rare opportunity to follow our true life path and dreams through the grace of suffering. Flip the dial of pessimism to hope and everyone in your circle of life will be miraculously illuminated to a higher plane of consciousness.
People embrace suffering in a positive way. In the earliest days of the pandemic many recall experiencing a string of negative emotions that have been shared by people around the world. Shutdowns began in the United States and we all had initial feelings of anxiety, fear and paranoia. Seeing people with masks and social distancing separated people from their normal need to be close to those they love and interact with joy, smiles and laughter.
Sheryl says that driving through her town to get supplies and seeing the streets empty and many stores closed made her cry. It was like Death Valley and watching the news, seeing people intubated and dying, and seeing how little was known about this deadly virus while so called specialists make flip flop decisions did not inspire confidence in our institutions. Would rather have heard the truth. We simply don’t know what we are dealing with yet. Forest writes a telling poem aimed at uplifting himself and shoring up his feelings of doubt and being unable to perhaps measure up during these unprecedented times. It is called A Ballard Of Hope Amid a Time of Crisis and he writes,
The year was 2020
The world was plagued by a pandemic that inflicted
mass casualties across the land
Countless millions watched in horror
As loved ones fell victim to the virus
Many more struggled to find work and food
As the world’s economy
Suffered a catastrophic collapse….
Meanwhile corrupt and greedy politicians
Stood callously by
As the number of homeless multiplied and starved around them.
With little assistance coming from their maniacal rulers
Some people resorted to looting and organized crime to meet their basic needs…
But set against this backdrop of death fear and deprivation
A movement of higher consciousness was well underway
Driven into isolation to control the deadly virus
Citizens of the world came to have gratitude
For all the little things they had taken for granted
Smiles from passing strangers
Sentimental hugs
Uplifting time spent with dear friends and family
And the sweet joys of live song and dance
Were all things sorely missed and remembered
The poem goes on in all its lovely soulful beauty and truth on page 50 of his book. .
Forrest mentions Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr who once said,
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
In the early days of the Covid outbreak it appeared that Ram Dass’s words may have been coming to fruition. The wars between nations seemed to no longer matter as the deadly virus became the common enemy throughout the world. For a hopeful moment it appeared like division along the lines of class, race, religion and politics would dissolve overnight. For the first time in many people’s lives the attainment and realization of many spiritual truths and of a higher consciousness was a real possibility. Call it this mystical energy that connects all things to God or the One or the Great Mystery. By whatever name you call it all that matters is the knowledge that such a state of connectedness for humanity to achieve is possible. As we met this crisis with universal compassion and the ranks of volunteers grew to serve food at food banks and younger people came to the aid of their elderly neighbor’s shelter was given to the homeless and many began to honor overlooked essential workers like grocery clerks and food delivery drivers as well as medical and hospital workers. While other circumstances like the unarmed man in Minneapolis Minnesota was killed and protests against the shutdowns and destruction of small businesses, still much has shifted in the thinking and actions of many, and hopefully, much good will in time come out of this plague that perhaps the Universe needed man to experience.
If the Earth could speak to us as all our beloved guardians or messengers like Jesus and Buddha, they have shared these three things in common beyond space and time:
- A deep and lived inborn belief that the earth is sacred and is the supreme source of all revelatory wisdom.
- Established lifestyles in which humans take only the bare minimum of resources they need from me to survive
- A long and hallowed commitment to defend Earth from the onslaughts of society’s plunderers.
At this moment and as a result of the Covid plague you desperately need the wisdom of the indigenous peoples but you have destroyed the very foundation of their cultures. Time to look back in history and ourselves to remember the truth of our soul being and begin again to restore life, health and well being to its original state.
Forrest goes on to share how the practice of meditation positively impacted his life. Forrest suggests anxiety especially now during a pandemic can be channeled to promote lasting and meaningful spiritual growth. These times are perfect for us to establish a daily meditation practice through stilling our minds, opening our hearts and surrendering to the present moment. Two of the primary purposes of meditation is to learn to let go and to recognize one’s relationship with all things. Metta practice roughly translates to benevolence and Loving Kindness and comes to us from the Buddhist tradition. The purpose of this practice is to focus on cultivating and sending feelings of goodwill to all sentient beings. Through the ages, it has been said by more than a few sages that meditation is the highest form of prayer because it breaks down the separation between the external world and our vast inner world. Remarkably, too, it could also heal the whole world in a time when we are in desperate need of healing.
Scientific researchers found convincing evidence of a direct link between the practice of mass metta (loving kindness) circles, and lower incidences of war. If metta practice can bring peace to war-torn people imagine what it could accomplish in alleviating all suffering related to Covid-19.
Forrest suggests overcoming our fear of death which is so important for spiritual growth. Eastern and Native American influences are important in overcoming this fear and recognizing our true essence as spiritual beings having a physical life
This pandemic has shown us that as we draw closer to death there are two paths to follow. The first is the heavily conditioned road of denying the inevitable passing of our physical bodies and blindly grasping the fleeting nature of the physical world. But this choice will only wind up creating more needless suffering. Just as the Buddha taught, we cannot hold on to any physical forms including our bodies.
Fortunately, the presence of Covid-19 has helped people realize there is a second path. We have the choice to embrace our death by surrendering to the wondrous passage of form back to the “Formless” the “Void”, or the “One”. Instead of running from death’s shadow, we have the power to meet it at its doorstep, with our hearts fully open to what IS and will soon become. Death does not have to be a painful frightening experience. We can use this transition for our healing and personal growth.
Covid has shown us there is no better way to overcome our fear of Death than through formal spiritual practices like work with the dying and meditation. Stephen Levine, a spiritual teacher spent countless hours working with people who as the Hindus say were close to dropping their bodies“. His experience led him to write a book titled, “A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as if It were Your Last.”
Sheryl agrees with Baba Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now who was a friend of Levine and also spent considerable time working with the Living/Dying Project. Ram Dass credited his many decades of work with the dying as the deepest spiritual work that he had ever done on himself. He was fond of teaching that if you can learn to keep your heart open in hell, through embracing the painful emotions that watching another die engenders, then the opportunity to transcend your fears becomes possible. Once the heart breaks, you can fall back into the wisdom of your deathless self. (Your Eternal Soul Being)
Many years from now when we look back on Covid-19 do you think society will see it as a turning point for humanity’s evolution? Forrest and Sheryl believe it will be seen as a turning point in humanity’s evolution where many people had the chance to reflect on the meaning of freedom both in the United States and other nations and an opportunity to return to the values of loving Self and others protecting our environment reasonably and not fanatically and moving beyond the materialist world we have manifested which is affecting our health and human dignity to learn to cooperate share and values our natural resources and protect those in need. Many came to see freedom as the right to work and operate one’s own business without the undue interference by the government.
For others freedom meant the right to make one’s own personal decisions as it related to public health. Still others thought freedom to be seen as the right to be protected from the threats by others which they saw as irresponsible decisions. (Some shoppers insist on not wearing masks in crowded public places but that began after people had vaccines and should have been able to discard masks giving unvaccinated people a chance to wear masks for their own protection.)
Thankfully like the mystics, in these times more people are beginning to comprehend that true freedom springs from an awareness that we are all connected. Indeed, we have the power to shift our perspectives of freedom from what is good for me, to what is also good for all of us. In the end nothing is good or bad, just experience which allows us to refine our thinking and actions and rise above human nature to find divine connections and greater love.
What might be said to those who don’t believe that Covid -19 is real? Forrest writes “When the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2020 marking the start of a new decade no one knew then as everyone well knows now, the Coronavirus (Covid-19) began its silent march across the world infecting and claiming the lives of many people. From the very beginning, it was resoundingly clear that this pandemic would drastically alter the course of humanity for the foreseeable future. Phrases and practices like social distancing, essential and non-essential workers, flattening the curve, stay at home orders, the mass wearing of face coverings in public places and curbside food and retail pick up came to form a new Covid-19 consciousness.
The far reach of the virus into every facet of our lives also forced us to confront our deepest existential anxieties and fears. For example, the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions had to quickly come to terms with the fact that they could succumb to the virus at any moment. And millions of workers laid off from their jobs because of the shut downs of businesses had to navigate the waters of extreme financial hardship. For medical professionals on the frontlines, death and dying in the age of Covid has become a highly tragic yet valuable reminder of the impermanent nature of life. And seekers on the path of higher consciousness have discovered an important opportunity to work with suffering. In essence, Covid -19 has the great potential to spiritually awaken all of humanity.
Sheryl says, “So Covid is real and will probably be around forever like colds flu Autoimmune disease cancer etc. We do our best to keep our immune system healthy by getting plenty of rest, reducing stress as much as we can, eating a healthy diet, drinking lots of water and not continuously focusing on this disease or any other. Our thoughts create our reality so thinking you are in a fit and healthy body each day helps to make that a reality. Discard negative thoughts as much as possible. Be hopeful as much as possible. Follow your own inner guidance system and intuition as much as possible and accept life as it unfolds without judgment or fear simply as experiences all humans have at one time or another in the physical world of change.”
Forrest tells us his message to all those looking for some kind of meaning within this period of mass suffering is In the end becoming self-sufficient in action requires that we first become it in thought. To this point G.I. Gurdjieff, the Greek-Armenian spiritual teacher said the following:
“If you wish to get out of prison the first thing you must do is realize that you are in prison. If you think you are free, you can’t escape.”
If we continue to think we need the mass corporate machine to feed and supply us with our life necessities, then we will remain locked in our own prison of dependency believing we are free. The same idea applies to our relationship with our governments. The more we think we need their financial assistance the more reliant we will be on manipulative rulers who want us to remain dependent.
Sheryl says that at no time has this statement been more evident in what is happening in America. I speak with young people who are so afraid they can find a job to support themselves buy homes have families that they must survive with socialism free college healthcare and other holds that the present administration is offering, that they are willing to give up the Constitution and be a conquered nation: a nation led by those who have little regard for empowering humanity, but, more need to control and undermine freedom.
Sheryl believes this ideology needs to release its grip on our nation and writes in her new book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening the following, “The American people are ardently demanding changes to present corrupt, political, elitist, ruling-class practices that do not allow simple, kind, good values to be honored. As we question what we want in life and what is truly a just criteria for success, we are discovering that people embroiled in only a materialistic approach to life—either forgetting or never having considered their equally important spiritual needs for love, for compassion, to be of service to others, and to be free from greed— have become disconnected and dissatisfied. The quote by Shakespeare’s Polonius, “[t]o thine own self be true/And it must follow, as the night the day/Thou cannot then be false to any man,” is still a rightful way to approach and remember our deepest personal needs as well as the reason we incarnated into this life. I have observed people who are not only happy and fulfilled, but often courageous and dynamic and bold leaders much needed in today’s world of conflict and confusion. Their general mindset reflects virtues including empathy, the acceptance of others with genuine regard for their differences, and respect for what we all can contribute to the world. In other words, these successful people are the antithesis to the competitive, unrelenting, and controlling drives of many of our politicians, corporate leaders, educators, and media who display a dog-eat-dog mentality.”
We thank Forrest Rivers author of Covid 19 and Humanity’s Spiritual Awakening for providing a way for those to see Covid-19 realistically, as the complicated disease and international disruption of society and financial well being, but. also as a means to spiritually grow and evolve in order to know ourselves as the duality of a physical and energetic essence, or body and spirit which has unlimited potential to create out of the dust of time and universes healing grace and love.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have taken a two sided view of the recent Covid -19 worldwide plague to see how while it has been like something out of the Twilight Zone in strangeness and negative effects, it also offers a way for humanity to unify and remember who they are as spiritual beings having a physical life with the capacity to make choices, and renew the best values of love prosperity hope healing and kindness which must never be lost, no matter how difficult times are.
We have seen how combining a terrifying health crisis with a catastrophic economic collapse is the recipe for social conflict. The world which has been sadly divided by identity politics, religion, social class, geographic location culture and race, as well as liberal vs. conservatives, religious fundamentalists vs atheists, rich vs. poor, urban dwellers vs. rural farmers, and the white race vs all other groups must allow accept and surrender to peoples’ individual rights to follow their own destinies.
Two groups quickly emerged in response to the pandemic. On one “side” were those who thought the virus represented a grave existential threat and ascribed to the belief that governments should take control and do everything to protect citizens from the disease even if it meant resigning countless millions to grinding poverty through mandated lockdowns
On the other “side” were those who believed that Covid-19 was deliberately overblown by media outlets and governments who had a financial incentive to engineer a climate of fear and serve a political agenda. Individuals with this belief felt lockdowns and mask now vaccine mandates were a breach of Federal and local government power and should have been avoided. Though many died as we had little understanding of the virus at the beginning, we now have many therapeutic vaccines and most people are surviving the disease which is not nearly as deadly as originally projected.
Both views came from the different problems people in urban or rural areas faced. Regardless of our political opinions on Covid-19 collectively, we are all having to cope with its fall out. And must find common ground past our ego conditioning that sees things in terms of black and white. Now we have an opportunity to move to “radical love.
What is clear is that both anger and frustration have boiled over among large sections of the population. We find there are many acts of radical love that we can engage in at this very moment to relieve suffering and hardship. Some examples include: feeding the hungry, providing clothing for the poor, caring for the sick, attending to those who have lost a love one due to Covid-19, uplifting elderly neighbors who may continue to live in extreme conditions of social isolation. In the end Covid represents a rare opportunity to undergo a paradigm shift in consciousness from being focused on self-serving ends to one grounded in the spirit of service and loving -kindness.
Forrest and Sheryl will have you know that faith, not belief, is the key to bring us to peace and oneness. Belief is found in thoughts, while faith is within the soul and simply knows what is right. Belief is fragile, and faith helps conquer fear through intuition and inner surrender. We must give up our attachment to extreme belief, let go, and allow God or a view of Universal Divine Source to lead us to find purpose and healing beyond this pandemic. Trust the plan for yourself and the world. There is a way forward!

This is a powerful book beautifully written and executed, but it’s a book to take note of for at its core is a message and that message revolves around patriarchal society and how that has impacted on the lives of so many, predominately women.
What does the word patriarchal mean? The dictionary refers to the word as ‘denoting a system of society or government controlled by men.’ Patriarchism has dominated society for thousands of years, probably as far back as Adam and Eve in the bible, but despite the many movements of protestation and to some extent emancipation, throughout history, many people still feel and believe that we’re still living in a society heavily influenced by men and their actions, very often those influences are to the detriment of women, children and the vulnerable in our communities.
Positive changes have taken place, but we still have a long journey ahead of us, for we only have to look at what is going on in the world today and we’ll see rich powerful male mindset jostling to control every aspect of our lives particularly over the bodies and minds of women, who over time have been portrayed as the so-called weaker sex. Such fools.
Amy Croft’s book looks at the issues of a patriarchal society evidenced through her own personal experiences centred around, education, social stigma, religious dogma, judiciary systems, dysfunctional archaic institutions and organisations which didn’t serve the purpose they were intended to back then and they still align themselves with prejudices against large swathes of modern society particularly around equal rights and recognition of women’s role in the world. They just don’t get it! Collectively, women around the world are saying, Enough!
This autobiography has been difficult for Amy to write as she opens up about herself, her fractious cool relationship with her mother as an only child, rape as a teenager, a far from wholesome healthy relationship with the father of her two children who was an acholic, something she believes was in his DNA structure, and the death of her parents before she was twenty-five years old. Many events in her life culminated in a nervous break-down which saw her placed in a psychiatric unit. She lost her two children in a custody battle to another woman- a battle she knew she wouldn’t win, as the male dominated judicial system closed ranks around her, and she was denigrated by her then husband’s family barrister due to her perceived mental health status at the time. She had no one to fight her corner.
The loss of her children was a bitter pill to swallow and left her with an indelible darkness in her life for having little or no contact with them for approximately twenty years. This was devastating, particularly as she spent most of her adult professional life dealing with women’s emotional issues and child protection issues. Today Amy would best describe her relationship with her daughter as a work in progress, and she has no contact with her son who lives in another country where she knows he has good support systems.
Despite the many downs in her life, Amy like the phoenix, has risen from the ashes to become an accomplished woman in her own right. She has a loving, caring relationship and acquired many close friends who have stuck by her over the years, but her life, to which she alludes to in this book, has been dominated by a patriarchal society. Amy acknowledges that society has progressed in addressing some of the issues she faced as a woman in a male dominated world, but there is more to be done in the quest for Justice for all, and that men should be part of that process. So, it will be very interesting to see what she says in her next book ‘Enough is Enough,’ as she now sees herself as an advocate for championing women, children as well as vulnerable people’s causes, as they strive to bring about a fairer world for all.
The overriding message here is, that there is no room for misogynists and patriarchal practises in our modern societies. They’ve had their day in the sun!
This is a book which older women and younger women alike can associate and identify with. It’s a book where men particularly younger men, might ponder and reflect on how they treat the women and children in their lives, and in their communities.
Despite the fundamental message it’s a great read. Well done Amy Croft.

Lorraine Burkey was originally from the state of Iowa where she grew up as a single carefree girl surrounded by a loving close-knit family and friends. She now lives in the state of Missouri with her husband Steven who over the last thirty odd years of marriage has simply been her rock and her stay.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5poVYVPyXE&feature=youtu.be
Like most young people having completed formal education she had a dream of a successful career, seeing her children growing up and enjoying all the things a person can expect in life, but that dream was shattered at the tender age of twenty when Lorraine suffered an atypical stroke which culminated in her being partially sighted in both eyes as well as partial paralysis of her left side. Lorraine had two choices, to give up, or forge another more modified life, thankfully she chose the latter.
This book is a collection of simple but powerful poems of various lengths, some are just a few lines long, others have several stanzas to them, but behind each beautiful poem is a significant, poignant message encompassing life in all its forms, forms that Lorraine has personally faced, experienced.
The poems are diverse they deal with real life, tragedies, struggles as well as triumphs and when you open the book, you’ll see that Lorraine has grouped them under the following headings:
AN INVITATION TO YOUR HEART
LIFE AT LARGE
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CARD POEMS
POEMS OF FAITH
ENDING POEM
In total there are 170 poems, most of them come under the heading Life at Large. But this eclectic bunch of simple and as I said powerful poems reflect not only Lorraine’s life at times but life in general. I personally think many of you when you read them will be able to identify with them in some shape or form. I certainly did.

I’m thrilled to have back one of my favorite guests for this episode, Dr. Erhard Vogel. If you missed the first interview I did with Erhard, Raise Your Level of Perception to Free Your Mind, make sure you go back and listen to it, you won’t want to miss it!
In this episode, Erhard and I expand on the topic of “reality is what is” from our first conversation. Erhard helps to clarify this further and explains how reality is what is irrespective of likes, dislikes, prejudices and options. We can perceive reality as real or false or any degrees in between. We also discuss perception vs. false perception and how we are expressions of being and also being.
This episode helped me connect dots that had been missing before and my intention is that you will also get more clarity after listening to this episode! Make sure you listen to the end as Erhard shares some insights from his newest book, A Dialogue with Death The Teacher of Life: An Ancient Story for the Modern World.

More about Erhard Vogel: Erhard Vogel, PhD, is recognized as one of the foremost meditation and Self-realization teachers in the world. Born in war-torn Germany, Dr. Vogel immigrated to the United States at age fourteen. He graduated from the Pratt Institute of Design in New York, and at an early age rose to a respected position in a world-renowned architectural firm. At thirty-one, he set aside a brilliant career in architecture to devote himself to the service of humanity.For four years Erhard, as he likes to be called by his students, traveled the globe on foot. He lived in Europe, the Middle East, Afghanistan, India, Nepal and China, thoroughly researching the ways in which people of different cultures seek fulfillment. He saw the underlying need in everyone to fulfill their potential.
In India Erhard met two of the world’s most renowned luminous Masters, who welcomed him into their midst and invited him to teach among the Himalayan sages—a rare distinction for a westerner. He lived for an extended period of time in a Himalayan cave in a remote sacred area. Living in utter joy and luminosity, Erhard remembered how so many people throughout the world suffer. He returned home to address the problems and aspirations of our contemporary society with his teachings. Following a lecture tour spanning the United States, Europe and Canada, he came to San Diego and founded The Nataraja Yoga Ashram, a not-for-profit organization.
Erhard’s teachings are a unique combination of time-tested wisdom and pragmatic method. His fundamental, experiential and systematic approach is based upon sound psychological, physiological and spiritual principles that make meditation and Self-realization practical and attainable. Erhard teaches not from books nor from other people’s ideas, but out of his own profound life experience. Through his depth of knowledge he is able to inspire and gently guide sincere students to the experience of their limitless potential. With unconditional acceptance and unwavering respect for the Being they are, he inspires his students to recognize their real Self and to treat themselves with trust and kindness.
Since 1969, Erhard has taught tens of thousands of students throughout the world. He continues to travel regularly to India and teach among the sages in the Himalayas, where he is recognized as a Master Teacher. He has authored three additional books: Self-healing Through The Awareness Of Being; Journey Into Your Center; The Four Gates: A Saga Of The Human Being On The Path From The Pit Of Despair To The Realm Of Fulfillment, From Confusion To Clarity, Culminating In The Deepest Realization; and A Dialogue With Death The Teacher Of Life: An Ancient Story For The Modern World, as well as numerous audio recordings of guided meditations and teachings. Erhard currently offers courses on site and online through The Nataraja Meditation and Yoga Center in San Diego, California. You can find out more about Erhard and his teachings here:

Drawing upon his years of military experience, the author Gene Abel offers a unique insider’s perspective as he lays out the truth about UFOs. He offers readers a fascinating exploration of the existence of an intelligent extraterrestrial race in this exploration of sightings and their potential impact on the future, and security, of the human race.
There are few events that would be of more importance, or more startling, than if, in the near future, we found ourselves confronted by another intelligent race with abilities and technology far superior to anything that currently exists on Earth. In What, If Anything, Is Out There?
The author details historic events that may well have been sightings by our ancestors. He explores what these encounters could mean for our security in the future. Drawing upon his years of military experience, Abel offers a unique insider’s perspective as he guides readers through a thoughtful history into the Roswell incident of 1947 and beyond.
In the wake of the Department of Defense acknowledgement that the United States Navy previously encountered UFOs, and in a moment where sightings are on the rise, What If Anything, Is Out There is a timely, and much needed, look at the role of intelligent life in the universe.

Join an adventure walking in the shoes of Abigail Adams, wife of the second President of the United States, John Adams. Many stepping stones along this journey are first-hand accounts of Abigail’s correspondence before, during, and after the birth of her nation. Her forthright, knowledgeable insights reporting from the hotbed of Boston during the Revolution reveal the struggle of a young, loving family often separated as they balanced the needs of family vs. the needs of the emerging nation.
You will encounter discourse from famous people and witness Abigail’s benevolence. She taught a young African-American boy to read, advocating for his inclusion in a traditional school. An early abolitionist, she also fought for women’s education and suffrage. Share her anguish as she buried four of her children. Realize Abigail’s political prowess as chief advisor to John.
Abigail became the first of two valiant women to wear the labels of both wife and mother of an American president. This passionate portrayal of Abigail’s life highlights the hardships endured by the patriots to cement America’s values of liberty and justice for all.
This book appeals to people who seek freedom, justice and equality for all. Anyone with a curiosity for how the United States became a nation will be drawn to this book. It resembles a historical novel, but also possesses romance, tragedy, love of family, conflict and conflict-resolution.
After reading this book, you will have an appreciation for the imminent dangers the Founding Fathers & Mothers, particularly Abigail Adams, faced during the Revolution. She was John’s confidante and most trusted advisor, who despite the criticism she received as First Lady, continued with fortitude to battle for the advancement of America.

By doing things differently on your own, you can make a huge impact on your marriage. That’s the good news. The not so good news? It eliminates your excuse not to make the effort. Executive Life Coach and best-selling author Deano Sutter reveals what will trip you up and how to move through it so you can take charge of your marriage and your life.

Many of us talk about being happy & think about being happy, but are we really taking the steps to get there? I know in my own life, I can look at times where I wanted nothing more than to be happy, but my thoughts and actions were the opposite of that. It’s easy to get caught up in the negativity and that negativity takes up a lot of space energetically. I wonder if we realize the cost of that energy taking up space?

This week my guest is Zahra Karsen, author of 6 Weeks to Happy: The Ultimate Roadmap To Retrain Your Brain For Better Health, Greater Abundance, and Long Lasting Happiness. Zahra and I get real about happiness (what it is, why it can feel like we are chasing it) and what does happiness even mean in the first place? We touch on so many things in this episode from moving away from the fear & anxiety ways of thinking and then what comes next after that? We talk about not being afraid to dream and getting really clear about what YOU want so you can live YOUR dream, not someone else’s! Zahra shares some insights on patterns in data she’s seen about happiness, the 4 energy bodies and how our brain is malleable (jackpot! This means we CAN retrain our brains to think differently).
Zahra and I covered a lot of great topics in this episode and I think you are really going to love it. There is so much to be said for doing the inner work that shifts our perspective and opens us up to new possibilities. The question is, what is YOUR happiness worth to you and what are you going to do about it?

In this podcast, we will look at a theory that sees others requiring a lot of guidance and prompting and has a perception that most people don’t like to work. However, this theory has another level where there is a deep level of trust, and mistakes are challenges for growth.
Welcome to part 2 of “A Mindfulness Look At Motivation and Learning .” We will take a mindful look at Douglas McGregors’ Theory X and Theory Y. I invite you to please join me and be open to appreciating some discoveries that will help this theory take on a mindfulness attribute.

And Doc Holliday uncovers the inspiration of the voting bill that would keep democrats in power forever and he is not an American citizen but one of our American congressmen sure gave it away. So listen to this week’s show and get educated and updated on the latest research and what it means for how we should define our response to COVID now! Click on for a great show!
Welcome to Healing From Within with Sheryl Glick your host Reiki Energy Master Teacher and author of her newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Share Global Awakening which share stories and messages from Spirit to let us know our challenges are not merely economic political societal just a spiritual disconnect from our inner soul wisdom and life force. Today we welcome Dr. Allen Lycka author of The Secrets of Living A Fantastic Life: The 13 Golden Pearl Within who with co-author Harriet Tinka share harrowing and traumatic escapes from death…his from a misdiagnosis of what he was told was a terminal illness and she from a nearly fatal kidnapping and beating by a stalker.
As listeners of “Healing From Within ” are well aware, Sheryl and her accomplished guests share intimate and insightful looks at personal events so we may remember once again our true essence as spiritual beings or souls having a physical life often to refine our emotions, expand love and compassion and improve relationships. Our dual nature must be understood and appreciated so we can merge the best of both worlds to create lives of health happiness prosperity both personally and collectively. In exploring mystical and synchronistic events many sensitive people discover life is much more than our physical body and our attachment to the physical world and in opening up to intuition and inner soul guidance, often find help to make better choices and decisions leading to a more productive life.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Dr. Allen Lycka who is best known as one of the leading cosmetic dermatologists in the world is now acknowledged as a leading expert in Living A Fantastic Life as a transformational speaker and thought leader coach. Both he and co-author Harriet Tinka suffered near death experiences and sought renewal through the wisdom of human virtues that focused them on a life of richness, appreciation, joy and service.
Allen tells us a little about himself and how he felt when the doctor said, “You have six months to live so you’d better get your affairs in order.”
In February 2003 Dr. Allen Lycka was walking with his wife and youngest daughter at the Happiest Place on Earth when his wife noticed his foot was flapping. In the prime of life, considered one of Canada’s leading cosmetic dermatologists, he was perplexed by this sudden development in his right foot. After a range of tests by dozens of doctors one leading neurologist delivered the devastating news that he had ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Looking for another diagnosis he found a doctor who discovered he had Lyme disease and was treated successfully for that condition. Since that trying experience Allen has delved into the miraculous joys and mysteries of life hoping to share his story and discoveries with others, so they might live with greater hope, self-awareness and joy.
Sheryl says that many people have what they call “The Darkness of the Soul,” an episode of profound trauma and disbelief where they must make a complete turnabout of their beliefs, and often find what it was they were really born to experience. Out of the ashes often as a result when there is a feeling within that something is missing or not right, the soul creates a scenario such as a loss or health challenge so a person can rediscover themselves.
Dr. Lycka tells us how he met Harriet Tinka an award ceremony honoring Women of Distinction and bonded by their shared traumas and their renewed appreciation for the value of life and service decided they wanted to give others the secret to the Secrets or 13 essential human elements from the grains of near catastrophe and transformed into Golden Pearls of Wisdom.
Both authors used their extreme life threatening events as a turning point in their life. As a “turning point expert” Harriet Tinker is a perfect example of someone finding a need in the community and filling it. Despite dealing with obstacles in her life ,she has found success as the founder and CEO of Social Enterprise, a company whose mission is to inspire and empower girls and women. Though stabbed, kidnapped and left for dead she turned that horrifying experience into motivation. She has inspired and given hope to women who are faced with domestic violence She is known by her students as a “Powerhouse Role Model” who makes being genuine the most powerful thing of all. And she was a former runway and magazine model.
“It’s not what happens… It’s what you do with what happens.” – Epictetus, about 2,000 years ago. Two lives changed, irreversibly, in an instant, by devastating events…but rather than be destroyed, these two individuals Dr. Lycka and Harriet Tinka faced the ensuing challenges, embracing them as turning points. Seizing the second chances before them with both hands, they chose the path to “Living a Fantastic Life.” In doing so, they discovered “13 Golden Pearls” to guide them…which they are eager to now share with you – to inspire you for your own journey
Sheryl says that indeed “Attitude” is everything and in every Reiki 1 class she has taught, reads to the group a poem By Charles Swindell “Attitude” that says exactly that…. 10 percent of every challenge is what happens to us and 90 percent is our attitude or way of handling it that allows for success and personal growth. It is not the events of the outside world, but the wisdom within us, that finds ways to work with all challenges. Since there is no failure only experience, by accepting rather than resisting, you can utilize the experience without judging it as good or bad, and create something good from it.
Are you a victim? Have you been overtaken by a victim mentality? Bruce Lipton said, “Victim consciousness robs us of our creative ability.” : “It’s not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens.” Taking on this mindset may be challenging at first, but once you do, life will be enormously different. Everything will change – for the better. Epictetus, an ancient Greek, realized this about 2,000 years ago. Both Harriet Tinka, my co-author, and Dr. Lycka have lived through immense adversity. And by doing so, we came out better and stronger than we were before. We learned and lived the philosophy taught by Epictetus.
Let’s talk about those Golden Pearls and which ones became apparent to you earliest based on your personal experience.
The 13 Golden Pearls are:
1: Love
2: Inspiration
3: Victory
4: Vulnerability
5: Intention (purpose)
6: Non-negotiables
7: Forgiveness
8: Attitude
9: Thankfulness
10: Tenacity
11: Laughter
12: Enthusiasm
13: Empowerment …
Here are just three of the ’13 golden pearls’ they share: empowerment, thankfulness, and forgiveness – three pearls that can enhance any life:
- Empowerment, which means feeling good, feeling good about yourself, just living life and letting it go.
- Thankfulness is about being grateful for everything you have. By being grateful for everything, you change from being self-centered into being a person who is more giving, and you can experience that much more. This changes the world, which changes the focus from you to something better.
- Forgiveness – the act of forgiving helps the forgiver as much as the one that is forgiven. Holding hate and pain inside yourself is like drinking poison and trying to hurt the other person. Forgiveness is not for the person you’re giving it to but is a gift to yourself. It frees your soul and makes you that much healthier and better.
Dr. Lycka and Harriet Tinka teach that a person can forget everything and run or face everything and rise-up. And write, “I like that. That’s beautiful, very good. That’s a lot of wisdom but encapsulated in humor. Dr. Lycka and Harriet are on a mission because of cataclysmic life changes. I’ve done a lot of studying of people that have had what are called “near-death experiences,” where they’ve been pronounced clinically dead. And then they come back and say, “I went through a tunnel. I saw a being of light, and I had to review my life and look at all the places where I wasn’t loving and kind, and maybe I got some wisdom from these advanced beings in another dimension.”
These guys didn’t have that experience exactly, but they were nearly dead, and Dr. Lycka was diagnosed as going to be dead. They went through their own “tunnels.” It sounds like they’ve come back with a similar shared mindset as a result. They all come back, wanting to be of service. They all come back with a greater sense of love. Those who come back from a near-death experience come back wanting to contribute and have less fear of death. It sounds like these guys have achieved the same thing. It is now their life mission to share and help. I love what these guys are doing, the book is great, and the work they’re doing is important. — Jack Canfield, author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Chicken Soup for The Soul.”
Dr. Lyca and Harriet Tinka tell us something about golden pearls and why they created the concept of 13 valuable virtues needed to find that fantastic life we are all born to discover and called them Golden Pearls.
Golden pearls do exist in nature. They are rare, and the deeper the gold color, the rarer they are. The rarest has a deep gold color and is referred to as a 24k golden pearl. They are grown in the gold-lip variety of the Pinctada maxima, South Sea pearl oyster in Indonesia, and the Philippines. Their warm, golden tones are completely natural, and no treatments are needed to enjoy the beauty of these gems. Pearls are a perfect metaphor for transcendence. Do you know how pearls are formed? When a foreign substance slips into the oyster, it irritates the shell and its organ. From that irritation, a tantalizing, mesmerizing, exquisite pearl is formed. We invite you to be the judge of how pearls are the perfect metaphor for the transformations that Harriet and Dr.Lycka have both accomplished.
Sheryl says that she always has coincidences or synchronicity with her intuitive and creative guests and she loved learning about Golden pearls how pearls are created, as her mother, now in Spirit so loved pearls and perhaps knew they were a metaphor for the transformation that can bring a challenging event into a marvelous outcome.
Allen goes on to talk a little about laughter, gratitude and enthusiasm which are all Golden Pearls and writes, “It is true that when your life is near the end, you begin to see things more clearly. You begin to see patterns, things you could never see otherwise. You reach out. So, I began a new journey – a journey to find my true diagnosis. I wasn’t going down without a fight. I did not accept the death sentence of ALS. Doctor Google did not exist in 2003. Going to the internet then was laborious. I searched thousands of sites. Somehow, after months with the Grim Reaper breathing down my neck, I stumbled upon the story of Dr. David Martz, a hematologist in Colorado Springs, Colorado. David had a story similar to mine, but he had deteriorated much more rapidly to being bedridden within months. He was on his deathbed when Dr. William Harvey, a chronic disease specialist, heard of David’s plight and came to see him. Dr. Harvey finally made the correct diagnosis. He started him on antibiotics, and, like Lazarus, David arose from the dead. I was convinced that both David and I had chronic Lyme disease, not ALS. Dr. Martz started a clinic in Colorado called the Rocky Mountain Chronic Disease clinic to help others. When I read about this, I knew I had to see him. Ordering a blood test, he confirmed my diagnosis of Chronic Lyme disease and started me on treatment, which stabilized my disease and is the reason I’m alive 16 years after my supposed demise. I would occasionally run into that neurologist who gave me a terminal illness diagnosis in the elevator of our shared office building after the original diagnosis. I’d quip, “Here I am, it’s a year (or two or three) and I’m not dead yet. Brilliant deduction.”
“Since, my medical history has been up and down. Another physician, Dr. Haines Ely, has often been helpful with thoughts and suggestions. In fact, many were radical, but they preserved my old body and helped me through many, many storms. Haines, sadly, recently passed away. As for me – I’ve been living on borrowed time. Just think – I had been diagnosed with ALS – Lou Gehrig’s disease – a guaranteed death sentence – and now I had a chance to live my life, a more fantastic life. To this day, I vividly remember my journey to find the dedication and compassion of David and the moment of being treated properly – because it was the moment that I emerged from the mental fog that had almost destroyed my life. It was accompanied by a feeling of euphoria, of internal bliss, of internal awakening.
That’s when I realized that I had received a “golden ticket,” a second chance to live more abundantly. And although I had been afflicted, I actually had been blessed. I finally knew God’s plan for me. And that I could help others find solutions for their problems without the hardship or difficulty I had encountered. Or at the very least minimize the time spent in suffering.”
Sheryl says that their book The Secrets to Living a Fantastic Life is a charming dialogue between you and Harriet, your chronicle of triumph over adversities, parables and stories along with inspirational quotes. What led you to this interesting mix of content?
Dr. Lycka answers, “Because adversity poisons some and strengthens others, we would like you to accompany us on our journey. Heat tempers steel, making it stronger. Harriet and I have both been tempered, learned how to take hold of our second chances and would like to share our experiences. We share this all in the dialogue we had as we wrote this book – the conversation of two close friends. And we’ve become so close that we finish each other’s sentences. Scary, right?”
Harriet tells us after her kidnapping and brutal assault by a stalker that she met Amber, a child who lost her parents in a car accident and was crippled and in a wheelchair, and finding this young girl suggested what purpose Harriet’s life could now take. The trauma taught Harriet that one cannot expect a perfect life, but must appreciate moments of beauty interspersed among tragedy. She has deliberately released any bitterness, anger, and sadness that her attacker physically and emotionally had caused her. The hardships made her stronger. Harriet got a second chance, a new beginning and now uses her experiences to help others. They can learn from my experiences without having to go through what Harriet went through. By accepting herself, she can now own her story. Harriet describes her life journey as moving from tragic to magic. I found my purpose. Now I live a fantastic life.
Moral of the story “You always gain by giving love.” – Reese Witherspoon
Harriet: That’s profound. But what makes you a love expert?
Dr. Lycka: Oh you – nothing in particular – just living. This is one of my favorite love stories. It reminds me that love is very complex. Did you know that according to the ancient Greeks, there are seven types of love?
Harriet: No way!!!
Dr. Lycka: Love, according to the ancient Greeks, was divided into seven types:
- Eros – named after the Greek god of love and fertility romantic love
- Philia – Affectionate Brotherly love
- Storge – Familiar love
- Mania – Obsessive love
- Pragma – Enduring love
- Philautia – Self-love
- Agape – Selfless Love
Harriet: Wow – that’s a lot to digest. It’s all Greek to me.
Dr. Lycka: Haha. Yes, it is very hard to comprehend at first glance. But let’s talk a little about each one, and I promise it will get easier.
Harriet: Great; I would love to know more. Dr. Lycka: The ancient Greeks would have been upset by our use of one word to state, “I love you” and the same word to nonchalantly sign a letter with “lots of love.” That wouldn’t make sense to them. The types of love were and are distinct entities. So, let’s talk about Eros, the first type of love they acknowledge. Eros was named after the Greek god of fertility, and it signified sexual love. Maybe in today’s language, it means “love-making.” But the Greeks didn’t always think of it as something positive because Eros involved losing control, and that frightened them. To them, it was wild and crazy love. Harriet: That is odd because losing control is precisely what many people now seek in a relationship. Don’t we all hope to fall ‘madly’ in love? Love is irrational, out of control and that’s viewed as bad in love. I was the victim of that mania when obsession took over. He was ‘out of control’. His love was a form of madness like Cupid’s arrows. I was oblivious to his intentions until his obsession forced me to open my eyes to a love that threatened my life.
Dr. Lycka: I know. True love means a lot of sharing and caring. But Eros is really about irrational or ‘passionate love’. In your situation, your tormentor lost it.
That’s why the Greeks valued brothers in arms who fought side by side on the battlefield. It was about showing loyalty to friends, sacrificing for them, and sharing their emotions with them. It involves love for fellow humans as well as care, respect, and compassion for people in need. They go on to discuss the other types of love and this is the form of dialogue that shares insights into their own thoughts, actions reactions and experiences …Sheryl says it is quite charming and easy to read these conversations between Allen and Harriet for most people.
Both Allen and Harriet have left one career and are now firmly engaged in another and that is how destiny and each life plan unfold. Sheryl says we are all born with a life plan and destiny, and most of the people’s relationships and work experiences are written into that plan. In Sheryl’s case she has been fortunate enough to have many interactions with people, places and events that have allowed her to grow and refine her own soul energy and to serve and share love and joy into all the experiences. Sheryl has had multiple careers and life experiences as a teacher, business woman, wife, mother, grandmother author, radio show host, intuitive Reiki Master Energy Teacher and medium who downloads messages to help people connect to their own soul journeys. But most importantly, Sheryl has adhered to the goals of Self and Spirit, to serve, and to love life at the same time. In her last book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Sheryl wrote, “In reading A New Life Awaits, I know you will discover much synchronicity with your own daily observations and find comfort in validating many of your dearest wishes to live life in an expansive and bolder approach, creating new perspectives, new thoughts, taking you in the direction that your soul and heart were born to experience. Unencumbered by the rules and limitations of societal or family systems that may have temporarily made you forget the amazing, loving, magnificent entity that you are that was born to walk in delight on our beautiful earth landscape and in spiritual light, you will find that a new life awaits you, and know you do not walk alone.
When asked what Dr. Allen Lycka would most like readers to take away with them after reading The Secrets To Living A Fantastic Life Dr. Lycka goes on to say, “ As a doctor, I have also found some people literally cannot love, and it’s often because some experience of needing love was missing or some other childhood experience such as bullying.
Harriet: Great minds think alike. I work with a group of young women in an organization I established, called “Empowered Me.” Some of the students who participate in the program have a strong emotional need caused by childhood deprivation and are incapable of loving. Most have issues with their parents/caregivers. If the parents raise children in a loving environment, the impact has an ongoing positive effect on the child. If not, the child often suffers from emotional hunger and confuses other things for love. They try to find ways to fill in that void or emptiness and often repeat the unloving experiences that started it all.
Dr. Lycka: How do you teach them to love? Harriet: No, this is an art, not a science. The first step is forgiveness. Holding onto hate is like trying to harm someone by drinking the poison yourself. Later in this book, we will talk about this some more.
Dr. Lycka: That’s profound. It does, however, bring up another question. I’m sure many of our readers would like to learn how they can love more deeply.
Love is one of the few things that increase in value when you give it away. You increase and intensify love by giving more. And the love must be unconditional. But it must be reciprocated from the person you are giving it to. Otherwise, unrequited love only leads to an empty relationship.
I want to thank you Dr Allen Lycka and co-author Harriet Tinka authors of The Secrets to Living A Fantastic Life for sharing your life altering challenges that led to greater awareness of the Golden Pearl that sustain and support our best lives ultimately connecting to our soul or spiritual core and make us both whole and holistic. To Read more about lives of empowerment and total oneness go to www.fantasticlifebook.com
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have discovered how life altering challenges can lead us to the virtues or golden pearls that enhance and empower life and aid us in recognizing what is really valuable and sustainable in our emotional inner landscape, and that is indeed, compassion and love, and the desire to share, reach out, and serve others with the blessings of kindness, goodness and joy, within us, so life can be lived with distinction and respect for all conditions, both of the physical and spiritual realms.
In life you need either inspiration or desperation.”– Tony Robbins
Dr. Lycka goes on to write, “ Inspire. This word can be traced back to the Latin inspirare (“to breathe or blow into”), which itself is from the word spirare, meaning ‘to breathe’. The earliest English uses of inspire give it the meaning “to influence, move, or guide (as to speech or action) through a divine or supernatural agency or power.” Harriet asks him What inspires you, Dr. Lycka?
“I look for people who have achieved great things and overcome adversity. Some of these are immortalized in movies. One of my all-time favorites is Chariots of Fire. It tells the fact-based story of two athletes in the 1924 Olympics, Eric Liddell, a devout Scottish Christian who runs for the glory of God, and Harold Abrahams, an English Jew who runs to overcome prejudice. It’s the story of a group of athletes who overcome tremendous odds to win the Olympics. Another movie I love is The Darkest Hour. Set in May 1940, it is about the early days of Winston Churchill as Prime Minister. Nazi Germany’s army began a blitzkrieg across Western Europe and threatened the UK. The German advance led to infighting throughout the highest levels of government between those who would make a peace treaty with Hitler, and Churchill, who refused. It’s the story of perseverance and the ability to persist undefeated in the face of adversity.”
Allen Harriet and Sheryl would have you remember perhaps what one of their favorite Maya Angelou quotes is: “My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done, and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.”

Today’s Guest
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram
Today I have a book that has so many cool things wrapped up in you are going to think I’ve made it up. I would not do that to you.
(Dramatic music)
Are you ready for a Love Story involving a female Cyborg?! How about a War story? I’ve got a book for you that has love blooming in the heat of battle, it’s got Taliban, it’s got cutting edge Science, cheeky humor and it even has Nazis and Meteorites!! I was hoping that would get your interest. It certainly got mine.
Captain Jane Hunter is a sexy female cyborg with a great sense sense of humor who falls in love with a human in Janus Blacks new book “Enter the Huntress”. Here’s the thing. She wasn’t always a Cyborg but I’m getting Waaay ahead of myself so hold on.
When I saw this book and read the description I was immediately hooked with visions of the Bionic Woman dancing in my head. I’ve probably just dated myself with that reference. Do you remember Lindsey Wagner? The gorgeous tennis pro who goes skydiving and in a strange twist of fate winds up as the world’s first bionic woman? It ran for a few years in the late 70’s but what’s not important right now. What we have here is a modern day love story involving Captain Jane Hunter. Always one to take risks, Captain Jane volunteers for an experimental program that turns her into a super fighting machine. Pretty cool right?
She’s badly injured in combat which leads her to this decision and it’s one that ultimately launches her into a relationship with a handsome young lieutenant. Now, I don’t want to give too much away because I think you’ll enjoy reading this one so let me just steal a fun quote from the book. While doing some aggressive driving in an ATV her human passenger, the handsome Lieutenant, starts to look a little green so Jane says, “Sorry Lieutenant but ever since Emmeline Pankhurst chained herself to the railings women have had to prove themselves the superior race. Sit back and relax – but do be a good boy and try not to be sick”
They were sent on a mission into the jungles of Colombia, to search for two hostages and a mysterious meteorite that is not quite what it seems! As you might suspect, a close bond develops between the two but is it an impossible relationship? Can love that blossoms in the heat of battle lead to anything but an impossible relationship when it’s between a cyborg and a soldier!
It’s worth a read to find out what happens.
Enter the Huntress by Janus Black (J – A – N – U – S). So much good stuff to enjoy and it’s available now at Amazon.com or at Authorhouse.com. You can download a digital copy for just 4.99. You’re gonna love it.

A new understanding is developed in this book about the relationship between the Christian faith, modern science, and the world religions. The authors call their new position Evolutionary Pluralism.
By combining the Christian faith with modern science and the global growth of religious diversity, Evolutionary Pluralism provides Christians with an alternative to current interpretations such as Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, Intelligent Design Creationism, and Evolutionary Creationism. This new understanding stands solidly within the history and traditions of the Christian faith and builds on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram. Art is something I’ve always been fascinated with. Every person’s view of what constitutes art is different. And…there are so many different types of art. Personally, I like to play with pottery, wheel-throwing to be specific but on this show I want to focus on the two-dimensional arts. Paintings, drawings, prints, and photography.
I recently came across the work of a man named Carl-Evert Jonsson. Carl-Evert is a painter and a photographer and he likes to use Japanese paper or Washi…
Carl-Evert (Washi) Well, the fibers of these Washi are different from conventional photo paper you see, then can adopt the material you put on it in another way that’s not possible with conventional photo papers. Then there are different kinds of Japanese papers but some can be very difficult to work with but it can be worth it try it at least.
What Carl-Evert has discovered is that digitally printing photographs on Japanese paper can yield tremendous results, especially if you’re a photographer interested in experimenting with new methods.
Carl-Evert (It’s Art) And it’s not so complicated, I mean there are many facilities to use all these photo programs to change your pictures but for me it’s more art to do it with my pigments or my way of treating these Japanese papers you see.
In his book Using Japanese Paper for Digital Printing of Photographs, he writes “One issue in modern photography is that we have become accustomed to how photographs should look. This can be overcome with the described techniques [in this book]. The Washi prints may look uncommon, unnatural, or sometimes abstract, depending on the selection of photographs and pigments. …The described technique enables the possibility of experimenting and choosing the procedure which corresponds to one’s own aesthetic opinion. The aim has been to produce pictures that are not so much beautiful as interesting and worthy of attention.
So the resulting print is not going to look like a typical photo, which is the point here. So I guess the question is why did he choose to do it this way?
Carl-Evert (Why) Well, I was astounded with some of the results and I wanted to go into it more deeply, that’s what it was. and it just happened. I had used this paper for painting on and then I said why not use this for my photographs and it worked!
Some of the world’s greatest breakthroughs can be attributed to happy accidents. The key is not being afraid to try new things. Experiment. Push the boundaries of your particular art. You never know what will happen.
Carl-Everts technique involves letting the washi fibers give a softer result to the photographs. It can be tricky to control and the results are unpredictable but that’s all part of the fun. The softness comes from the Japanese paper or Washi because it is more absorbent than Western papers so the ink appears integrated rather than sitting on the printed surface.
If you want to try it all you need is a computer, a printer, some washi, your photos and a copy of Car-everts book – Using Japanese Paper for Digital Printing of Photographs.
It’s available now at Amazon.com or Authorhouse.com
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram.
13 Months: In the Bush, in Vietnam, in 1968 is an intimate look at life in the bush during the Vietnam War in 1968. You will experience the daily struggles, battles, and funny things that happen to a USMC grunt living in the bush for 13 months. You’ll see firsthand through the battles, what Marines ate and drank, where they slept and their existence that ranged from unmitigated terror to utter boredom, hot & dry to wet & cold, rested and ready to frazzled and wired. You’ll watch as a kid grows philosophically and confident, able to handle stress and strain, learning about friendship, love, difficulty, danger, deprivation, and loss. His friends are American kids from all different walks of life, backgrounds, races, and learning. The common element among them is their humanity, bravery, and willingness to risk their lives to help one another. They all were simply just a bunch of American boys doing their job, taking their chances, hoping to go home to the real world from an unreal world.

Born in Kecskemet 1939 in Hungary, to a German mother and Hungarian father Charles Pallaghy PhD grew up in war-torn Hungary and Germany before emigrating to Australia. He can recall arriving in Port Philip Bay Melbourne on his tenth birthday. From there the family was shipped by train to Bonegilla Refugee Camp, where Charles first learnt to speak English. He attended services at the German Lutheran Church as well as the Hungarian Reformed Church. Charles graduated from the universities of Melbourne and Tasmania in Chemistry and Biophysics respectively with a doctorate to follow. While at university he met his Czech born teacher wife Milena who sadly passed away a few months ago. His son Paul and daughter Jennifer have broadly speaking followed in their father’s footsteps into the scientific world. As a child Charles could never understand why no one really challenged him about what he thought of God, and when he reflects on his life, he realises he spent a fair proportion protesting to the academia world against general evolution theory and here he is in this book ‘End Times’ protesting against creationism and church organisations for deliberately concealing important facts in the bible for fear of unnerving their adherents.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZkYPN9bOkM
Controversy seems to follow Charles around when he speaks in public re the subject matter of creation-evolution, whether he relishes, courts controversary, or simply attracts it as he strongly debates his view points on creation and evolution well I’ll let you the public be a judge on that matter after you have read his book and delved into his website www.creation6000.com where he reveals more about his life and beliefs. Charles’ viewpoints have on occasions caught the attention of the Australian press, so much so he attracted the attention of one David Frost, later known as Sir David Frost who interviewed him about his creation-evolution thoughts, as he was working in Australia at the time. So, Charles’ one claim to fame is that he was interviewed by the same man who interviewed the late former US President Richard Nixon albeit on a different topic, not Watergate.
The book itself is not a book to be read as a novel, for me it’s more an anthology of biblical research, with personal views and insights surrounding the book of Revelations, not only is it the last book in the New Testament but in the Christian bible as well. Revelations is a complex as well as absorbing book and for me Charles has gone about debating this book diligently, and it’s well executed with poignant cross-referencing to other parts of the bible. The illustrations, time charts and pictures enhance the text. There are two parts to the book the first part Charles concentrates on the revealment of the Lord’s coming is nigh backed up with facts and biblical references, the second part Charles talks about lessons around the Bride of Christ coming, to whom will the Lord appear to? when the end comes what would it look like? and who will be saved and who won’t.
How do you sum up a person’s life in a few words or a short video especially as that person has led such a deep and fulfilling life in so many ways? The simple answer is with great difficulty as I have found. So read his book ‘End Times’ and head to his website www.creation6000.com to ascertain more about what Charles Pallaghy PhD is talking about and you’ll even discover why his website is aptly named.
Thank you, Charles, for giving me the opportunity to talk to you about your fascinating life and works.

Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
It’s true confession time. Something you might not know about me is that in addition to hosting this podcast I also own and operate a small business. It has always been a passion of mine and you know what? It’s not easy. If you have any interest in starting your own business I would suggest doing something you truly care about. That makes putting in the time and doing all the hard stuff a lot easier to handle.
So what about you? What’s your dream? There are so many options to choose from. Today I want to talk about Keryn Lee of Adelaide, South Australia. A place I’ve never been to but it’s on my Bucket List. I hear they have some amazing restaurants and wine bars featuring wines from the region….but I digress.
Newsgram is all about highlighting interesting people, living their lives. People that you and I might not ever know. So today I want you to meet Keryn Lee a professional Healer, a Spiritual & Personal Development Teacher, a Speaker and Author of the book Secret Healer’s Business: How to Develop Your Skills, Work with Clients, and Build a Successful Healing Business
While the book is geared to the healing business, there is something here for anyone who wants to start and run a business of their own. Here are some of the topics:
- Overcoming Challenges
- Working with Clients
- Duty of Care
- When it all goes South
- Building an Authentic business
- Attracting Clients
- Creating Your Future
She also talks about the world of Energy healing and offers up some great advice like BE PRESENT, here’s what she says…
“…when i attended my first psychic expo as a hear, a large event that would attract some ten thousand people, I sat down to do my first healing session and suddenly became aware of how noisy it was-from banging drums to children screaming to the drone of chatter and movement. I wondered how on earth I would manage to concentrate. I made a choice intuit moment to allow nothing to distract me from offering the best service possible. I narrowed my focus to my client and let everything else fade in to the background. Years later, I realized that working in this type of environment trained me to develop a skill that I didn’t know I would need. It taught me to have a level of focus and presence that now comes natural and is an important part of my healing work.”
The ability to be fully present with a client is one of the greatest gifts you can give them…”
You see what I mean? She’s talking about focusing so she can heal but imagine you’re a manager sitting with an employee doing a performance review. Giving them your entire focus, no phones, no computers or other distractions, just and them one-on-one. It’s very powerful.
So ten years after working at psychic expos and as a tarot card reader, an energy healer, and opening her own healing studio, Keryn definitely knows what she’s doing. Her background and unique insights into the healing industry will inspire you to do the work you love.
Before I wrap this up I have to give you one more quote. It’s from her chapter titled “You’re Weird Get Over it” she says,
“Some of my students worry that they’ll be perceived as being weird or woo-woo if they become healers, and the core energy here is really about learning to accept yourself. When you accept who you are and what you do, others will too. Let’s face it, if you’re reading this book, you are a little weird. It’s time to own that and see it as an advantage not something that’s wrong with you. The planet doesn’t need clones. It needs change-makers, and what you bring to the world with your own special brand of weirdness will contribute in ways beyond you imagining. Stop trying to fit in and start being you.”
Great advice for anyone.
So if you want to discover Keryn’s Advanced Healer Secrets, how to develop your intuitive abilities as well as overcome something she refers to in the book at “healer poverty consciousness” then you’re going to have to grab a copy of the book Secret Healer’s Business: How to Develop Your Skills, Work with Clients, and Build a Successful Healing Business by Keryn Lee (spelled K-E-R-Y-N).
She offers a free e-book on her website, SecretHealersBusiness.com or just click on the link in the show notes
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram.
In this coming-of-age tale, a high school athlete must face a mirror of truth that shows him a reflection he must come to terms with before he can move forward in life.
Ever since his beloved father’s unexpected death and his best friend’s suicide, high school athletic phenom Chente Jimenez has been shutting out his family and friends in an attempt to protect his shattered soul.
When Chente decides to take a midnight jog on a sleepless, snowy night, he never imagined that his surprising encounter with his first-year basketball coach at a city park will unleash a series of events that will test his fortitude, challenge his courage, and awaken feelings he has guarded and suppressed all his life.
While immersed in the final semester of his senior year, Chente soon becomes overwhelmed by the pressures of being an “all-American boy,” choosing the right college, and hiding his emerging homoerotic feelings from family and friends. Now as the Avalon High School basketball team races toward their first state championship, their starting-point guard must battle locker room homophobia and cyberbullying while attempting to boldly embrace his truth and become, Valiente.

Many mystical predictions are presented in the biblical book of Revelations. The author focuses on seven churches that can represent modern religions: Ephesus (Catholicism), Smyrna (Judaism), Pergamum (Voodoo), Thyatira (Hinduism), Sardis (Buddhism), Philadelphia (Christianity), and Laodicea (Islam).
Adams provides an examination of each church which includes: a brief history, the evolution of the religion to the current day, an elucidation of doctrine and rituals, and four or five “key points” that illustrate the connection to the message of Jesus. The author’s objectivity is notable. He presents some criticism of all religions, including Christianity, with no special bias either for or against any.
Besides frequently quoting from the Bible, the author also draws from scholarly works. He provides a complete list of the sources he used for research, such as R. C. Zaehner’s Encyclopedia of World Religions, in the back of the book.
Adams fully believes and expounds that anyone, at any time, who understands the message of Revelation and accepts Jesus can partake of his blessings. His book would make an excellent focus for a Bible study among religious seekers.
Today’s show is all business.
It’s hard to find a business that doesn’t want to succeed and it seems crazy to say that but many times, despite our education and training as a business executive our best efforts wind up backfiring.
Recognizing the need to increase work-flow or achieve consistent results can lead to the roll out any number of processes. But don’t take it from me, take it from an expert, Dr. Terrence Farrier and his new book, Professionalizing Strategic Systems Management for Business.
Teressa Hill has in my opinion led a unputdownable, beguiling and possibly colourful life so far, a life that started in Oregon in the USA. As a young child she loved the outdoor life riding her horse with her dog close at hand. Her love of animals has continued throughout her whole life hence all the animals in her books. But her love of nature wasn’t the only passion in her existence and like other close members of her family she pursued a sport, her piece de resistance was competitive figure skating which gave her the opportunity to see the world. In quieter times she would write short stories and sketch, and over time she became a cultivated artist in her own right selling many of her paintings.
As we all know the career of a professional sports person is short lived and it was in the early eighties, she started to train to become a hairstylist, she now works on Hollywood’s film and television sets as a hairstylist working with some of the industries world renowned directors, producers and actors. Her work in this field has given her many opportunities and she is currently short-listed for an Oscar nomination this year.
In 2005 she created the idea of writing a children’s animated series of books which has now developed into The Wildly Whimsical Tales of Gracie and Sniggles.In this podcast we’re going to concentrate on two of the books in the series the first book THE MYSTERY OF THE BLUE GOO and the next in the series BOO WHO? Both books have been beautifully illustrated by Teressa’s partner Karine Makartichan.
https://youtu.be/06_xQHq5j8Q
THE MYSTERY OF THE BLUE GOO
This is the story of a little red curly-haired girl call Gracie, and her dog Sniggles who have left the city for the neighbouring outskirts. They embark on a whimsical adventure as they set out to explore their new surroundings. On their journey they meet up with Lucy the purring cat. Ziggy the zinging Squirrel, Bob the crow and Bumble the bee who’s upset because on his adventures away from the hive he’s managed to get himself covered in blue goo, and the Queen Bee won’t let him back in the hive as she only has yellow bees in her hive. The new friends follow the clues to the blue goo and discover how they can return Bumble back to becoming a yellow bee.

On this edition of Newsgram I bring you peace. If you are a human being, let’s hope that is the case, and you have children or work with children then this show is for you because we are bringing in the services of “the Peace Coach”.
Brenda Miller has been in private practice for twenty years helping people to free themselves from upsets and inner conflict—in 30 seconds. Joy is natural to all of us, so Brenda spends her time helping people rediscover theirs. She is the author of the book, The Kid Code: 30 Second Parenting Strategies and she calls herself the Peace Coach because peace is what she wanted most, and what she unexpectedly found.
It’s hard to believe you can be a parent or grandparent and live a life without stress, but it is possible. People do it. She has seen it firsthand….many times! The results are now available in her book. Get ready for 30 second parenting strategies that will take the anger and confusion out of parenting. That may sound a little too good to be true. I mean think about all the variables involved with parenting children. What if I told you the book we are going to talk about today gives you hundreds of different 30 second parenting tips. Would that be more realistic sounding?
So how is all this possible? She says, when used long-term, long-term patience and wisdom show up, and the short-term craziness goes away; or diminishes and the stressful appearances become less frequent.
I did promise you peace so let’s begin with the chapter entitled Sustainable Moments. The subtitle is making sure you get what you need ensures you give what you can.
There is rightfully a lot of common-sense talk around the globe about the importance of sustainability – and just in case you aren’t 100% sure of what that means, it means getting your needs met without depleting our compromising resources for the future. Brenda say’s the best way to sustain our families, our homes, our communities and our world is to first sustain ourselves. Like when the oxygen mask drops on the airplane. Put yours on and then assist others as needed.
What sustains human beings, besides the essentials that sustain life itself? (food, water, air, sunlight movement, etc?) If you could make a list of other things that sustain you, bring you aliveness and inner joy, what would be on that list? Some examples are being in nature, spiritual practices or playing. Sustain yourself daily – until you fall into grace and that sustains you.
Alright so we have a path to peace but we have a long way to go. I do wish this show was more interactive and you could raise a hand with a copy of the table of contents and you could tell me where you’d most like me to go because there is a lot of great stuff in here like…
- Oops means opportunity
- Stubbornness
- Sharing our Dragons
- Give Kids the Floor
- Complaining
- The Power of Observation
- Parents Who Fight
- Saying NO
- Power Struggles
- Apologizing
- Do what you Love
- Jealousy
…don’t worry, I’m not going to read all 100.
One of the chapters I liked the most was “Children Teach us What They Want us to Teach Them”. Let me read the first paragraph…
They may be four feet shorter than us, but kids are ten times wiser. They belly laugh, don’t hold grudges, make friends easily and don’t register skin color, status or body size. They are innocent, spontaneous, curious and genuine. They don’t know who to criticize and are naturally affectionate. They want us to teach them THAT is who they really are. They want us to teach them that they can draw on that part of themselves no matter what’s going on in their lives.
Now, it’s your turn. Pick and choose the chapters that mean the most to you or go ahead and read them all. The Kid Code: 30 Second Parenting Strategies by Brenda Miller is a great resource and a fun read. When you use these strategies, you’re going to find that they give you and your kids ‘right now relief’. Get ready to go from chaos to calmness in 30 seconds –

Thirty-year-old Kate Andrews is council estate born and bred. She’s a single, lonely, sex-deprived mother who lives for her daughter, Sadie.
Kate’s also the street’s Agony Aunt who dreams of her own happy ever after. Fat chance of that, though, when her prince charming is very much taken. So, for now she’ll continue to clean toilets, take care of her family, avoid the local drama, and keep her nose clean.
But when something terrible happens, Kate’s calm but mundane existence is turned on its head overnight. Her life becomes an overcrowded, drama-infused, chaotic, blood-stained, soap opera and she’s pushed to the brink. Now she has to keep her cards close to her chest, ward off her lifelong bestie’s drink, drug-fueled lesbian advances and protect her family from the predators who are getting too close for comfort.
Things are turning nasty on the estate and Kate’s dark side – the one no one knew existed – is about to take center stage.
- Will this tough single mother get revenge for her daughter?
- Will she sacrifice her pathetic princess dream and focus on keeping everyone else happy instead?
- Or will the explosive truth be told?
Find out the answers in this exhilarating, rollercoaster of a novel that’s packed with illicit love affairs, criminal antics, humor, danger and single-parent, council-estate banter that will keep you enthralled from start to finish.

Roberta is increasingly alarmed about the number of people – including her own husband! – who are being made to feel confused and distraught by the prevalence of near-death experience literature in the Western world. So here yet again she explains how we can be certain that NDEs, as wonderful as some of them might seem, have nothing to do with actual death. She also shares the highly personal story of her confused and troubled transgender childhood, as someone born female after having lived many lifetimes as a man
Hang out with me and Jess in the car (we have Covid) to discuss the beginning of the pandemic vs now, Covid Cooking, and culinary school insight.
When asked “how are you”, most of us will answer “fine”. There isn’t necessarily anything wrong with that, unless it’s not true. Often “fine” is equated with “good”. But what if it’s just a form of settling for less than you want or could actually have? Not settling can be challenging, which is why many choose that path. Coach, speaker and podcaster Karsta Marie Hurd is here to address this badge of “fine” and reveal ways to move past it.

Every week as I write the intros to this show, I reflect on my experiences both professionally and personally. When I started my business over 20 years ago, I didn’t charge the fees that I enjoy today.
Even though, when I started my business, I had almost 20 years of experience in sales. Running a business, where I was teaching salespeople and business owners how to improve sales skills, and teaching how to build client relationships, was a whole new game for me.
Today I’m able to use my personal and professional journey as a frame of reference. Sometimes I see that fear holds my clients back from charging what they should be charging for their services because of their mindset and believing they are not capable of having high end clients.

Welcome to a new Transition Awareness Breathing series on infusing mindfulness injections in motivation and learning platforms.
In this episode, I invite you to be open to revisiting a motivational theory that many have learned in high school or college. We will look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs with a “mindfulness flashlight.” Initially, I will talk about what Maslow’s theory contributes to how people are motivated from satisfying basic needs to achieving self-actualization.
Then we will look at Maslow’s approach from a different perspective using mindfulness strategies. This episode is the first in learning how to use mindfulness in leadership and learning platforms. I hope you enjoy this new series.
I talk a lot on the show about what we experience as humans. What we go through, the questions we ask the universe and the journey life takes us on. It’s an ongoing process where we are always learning and my goal with the show is to continue to explore the journey and encourage that growth. My guest this week is John Siddique and we are talking about Becoming & Unfolding on Your Spiritual Path. John shares his wisdom and insights from this book Signposts of the Spiritual Journey: A Practical Road Map to a Meaningful Life.
John and I discuss awareness, presences, basic human freedoms and what this means for us on our spiritual journey. There are many signposts that guide us along the way and John shares some examples from his book. John explains vasana and samskaras, what the pain body is and spiritual bypassing. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed talking with John!

This book is a guide to the spiritual path that clearly reveals the signposts of success on the journey, as well as the blockages and traps that hold us back from a life of presence, meaning and enlightenment. By laying out the signs and blockages clearly and honestly and with a lot of love and humour, the book offers a wonderful resource for growth.

As I reflect on my 39 years in sales I can easily say which of the people I reported to were quality leaders and which had no business leading a human. My first 19 years in corporate were an eye-opener and I think one of the catalysts that pushed me to open my own business. During that 19-year corporate stint, I had 8 bad managers and 1, yes only 1, who was truly a thoughtful leader. He knew how to leverage our entire teams’ strengths and partnered us accordingly to our skill sets helped us accomplish more together. He was kind, respectful, brilliant, fair, and always wanted to hear from our team.
So why does a recent Gallop poll say that 70% of Americans hate their jobs specifically because they feel they have the boss from hell? Why are we getting it so wrong?

Welcome to Healing from Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick a Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shows through many shared stories and interactions with others, that it is not political social religious or economic challenges undermining our potential for happiness health and prosperity, but our failure to know ourselves as spiritual beings having a physical life and to recognize our inner capacity or soul nature and intuition to guide us to make right and purposeful choices. I am delighted to welcome Tanya Zabinski, the author of Peace Love and Action who is using her many talents to share messages of hope and love to expand hearts, minds and spirit for greater compassion and good will.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate experiences and views of the metaphysical aspects of life and date as we explore the duality of our physical life and interactions with spiritual awareness and higher consciousness learning we are more than our body and Consciousness survives physical death. For those who truly know this fact they are free to explore and create their life journey in its infinite potential for finding happiness, peace and love.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Tanya Zabinsi shares in her book Peace Love Action a very thoughtful artistic vision of visionaries and leaders in the biographies and messages of truly inspiring people from A to Z. So we have stories of 26 peacemakers and change makers and their messages that have been chosen to be highlighted. Tanya Zabinski will share her most basic definition of a peaceful activist who is someone who works to choose love over fear, just as Dr. King did. We can direct love toward ourselves, toward our family and friends, and toward many people and situations. Being a peaceful activist doesn’t mean we need to love the actions of an oppressor, but if we strive to see points of light within even the most harmful person or circumstance, act out of love and not fear we will create a loving healthy lifestyle changing ourselves for the better and shining love and compassion into the world. Today we will hear stories of many people who have found peace through expressing their most divine thoughts into action.
When Tanya is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place event that may have shown her or others in her life the work or lifestyle she would create as an adult she tells us that as a child, she thought that to be a helpful force in the world, she’d need to wait until she was older. She imagined joining the Peace Corps and helping people in far-off lands. But what if we see peace not as something we need to wait to practice until we’re older? What if we can practice it right now? Even as an adult, I often feel like my capacity for personal action is in short supply when just keeping up with the daily grind can be more than enough to manage. Can we see peace ”not” as something we attend to after our daily grind, but something we do right in the middle of it? What if we can give attention to what’s going on inwardly and work to develop peace of mind, so that, like a smile, it naturally spills outward?
IN THIS BOOK, you will encounter many stories of extraordinary people. Some may be familiar and others may be new to you. To this inspiring collection I would like to add one more story: of the author herself, my friend Tanya. Tanya and I have been traveling on parallel paths for thirty years now. When we first met in a painting class at Buffalo State College, I was all of eighteen, and she was twenty-five. We decided to become housemates and moved in with another budding artist, Laylah Ali. Our mailbox, with its trifecta of ethnic names, read like a microcosm of Buffalo itself. I don’t know if there was something special in the water in that little apartment, but each of us went on to create independent and self-directed careers making socially conscious art. Tanya’s positive, simple art works have manifested in the world in a myriad of ways, from the prints and paintings that hang all over my house, to the murals that brighten various public spaces in our hometown, to the hand-printed shirts that walk the globe transmitting her inspired imagery. She, like any artist, has had to be very creative not just in the making of her art, but also in devising ways to turn that art into a livelihood. What is most extraordinary is the degree of attention and intention she applies to that process. She triangulates her creativity with a high degree of social responsibility, and all of her choices flow from there. From her example, I have learned a lot about how to live within a model of sustainability and care. Tanya studies herbalism and homeopathy and attended to me around the birth of both my children. She was recycling and actively participating in food cooperatives long before I or the culture at large seemed to understand the implications of such things. The artwork herein and the stories that accompany them teach and inspire. They warm the body with feelings of hope and invigoration. They challenge the mind to view the world in a positive and life-affirming way. These are the gifts Tanya gives me as a friend and comrade. I’m excited that this book will bring her wisdom and worldview, her joy and generosity to ever more people. Ani DiFranco January 2019 Peace is a universal cause, but the way each person advances that cause is highly personal. In this book Tanya shares a variety of ways individual people have found to open to love and advance peace. In compiling these stories of peaceful activists, she discovered many commonalities. The main trait that all the activists share is that they each have love as a motivating force.
Even as a child, Jane Goodall expressed a love of animals and nature. Autumn Peltier is still a child, and she advocates for clean water from a heartfelt connection to it. Hand in hand with love is perseverance; all the activists faced obstacles that required them to stay strong and carry on. As Rachel Carson wrote her groundbreaking book Silent Spring, she was beset by serious illnesses. Although this slowed her writing down, her deep love of nature and her desire to protect it gave her the will to persevere. All of the peaceful activists also share an unconventional spirit. They used creative thinking. They thought and acted outside the box. She also blazed a trail by being the first African American woman in the United States Congress. At a time when most music schools believed talent was inherited and required students to show musical aptitude before accepting them, Shinichi Suzuki opened his music school to anyone, including three-year-old children. Instead of running away from discrimination, Valarie Kaur moves toward it to document it, hold it to the light of day, find what needs healing, and let in love. Several of the peaceful activists tied together two interests or issues in a unique way. Pete Seeger fused music with social and environmental activism. Thich Nhat Hanh integrates spirituality with practicality. Wangari Maathai combined environmental issues with social issues. Jon Kabat-Zinn applies modern science to ancient practices of yoga and meditation. Ruth Johnson Colvin integrated building self-esteem into her adult literacy program. Leah Penniman connects farming with racial justice, community building, song, dance, health and healing, and even prayers and celebration. Andrew Bienkowski and Azim Khamisa both illustrate the ability to spin hardship into gold. Banished to a concentration camp in Siberia, Bienkowski was still able to find something for which he could be grateful. When his only son was murdered by a gang member, Khamisa was able to transform his pain into compassionate action. Both men chose love over anger, and in healing their own wounds, they became a light for others. No one of these heroes stood alone. The activists all had support—guides, mentors, or helpers. Whether from a parent, a partner, a friend, a teacher, an organization, a spiritual practice—or, in Norman Cousins’s case, some Marx Brothers films—each person received a form of assistance. All of these activists used the skills they had and developed new skills as needed. They stretched themselves. They grew—and, in the process, they illuminated the way for many.
The Japanese poet Ikkyū wrote: Many paths lead from the foot of the mountain, but at the peak we all gaze at the single bright moon. Learning about the paths of these peaceful activists has shone a light on my own path. It’s helped me find places where I can open to love. It is my wish that these stories, and the art that goes with them, add light and beauty to your path, as we all make our way up the mountain.
Tanya’s most basic definition of a peaceful activist is someone who works to choose love over fear, just as Dr. King did. We can direct love toward ourselves, toward our family and friends, and toward many people and situations. Being a peaceful activist doesn’t mean we need to love the actions of an oppressor, but if we strive to see points of light within even the most harmful person or circumstance, act out of love and not fear. Gandhi told us, “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change toward him.” Being a peaceful activist is not about blaming someone else—or ourselves. It’s about doing what we have the power to do. It involves inner work and outer work. It’s personal and communal. In the image to the left, the flower represents beauty, inspiration, and inward action. The hammer signifies strength and outward action. A peaceful activist needs both inspiration and action.
Tanya also drew portraits of each person whose story she told. That seems like a totally different artistic skill to capture the likeness of a person from a soul perspective.
Tanya represents the unique people in the book by using the alphabet with messages of our responsibility as in A is for Appreciate a need of the soul and each being to recognize something valuable for themselves and society.
A IS FOR APPRECIATE The story of a young girl whose mission it was to share with the world the sacred nature of water nature and our caring for the planet and she came to know sadness just by reading the sign below. PUBLIC NOTICE: DO NOT DRINK THE WATER This sign is one of many posted near Autumn Peltier’s home. It refers to the tap water. Its message has made her worry, cry, get mad, and speak out as a water advocate. Autumn Peltier is Anishinaabe from the Wikwemikong Unceded Reserve on Manitoulin Island in the Great Lakes. She lives surrounded by water. In the indigenous worldview, water is sacred; it is alive and has a spirit. Water needs to be treated with dignity and respect. It might seem natural then, that the issue of water is important to Autumn. Embedded in her First Nations culture is a code of respect for all living things.

When he was sixteen, he became a Buddhist monk, making a promise to become peaceful, happy, and calm, and to be kind and loving toward all living beings. He learned how to meditate and concentrate. As he grew older, he discovered a way to breathe so he could stay calm and loving even in very difficult situations. When we are aware of our breathing, we get in touch with ourselves and how we are feeling. Try it! Feel the sensation of the air coming in and out of your nose. Put your hand on your belly. Feel how it rises and expands as you breathe in, and falls as you breathe out. Breathing calmly and mindfully, we become fully present, fully alive. When Thich Nhat Hanh was twenty years old, there was a war in Vietnam. He and his friends had a choice: remain in their monasteries practicing meditation, or help people suffering from the devastation of the war. Thich Nhat Hanh chose to do both. He and his friends trained thousands of young students in practical skills like farming, building, and medicine, so they could go out and help rebuild villages destroyed by the bombs. He taught the students how mindful breathing could help them stay brave and compassionate in dangerous situations.
Thich Nhat Hanh also took part in international peace talks to end the war. He established peaceful communities where people of all ages can go to learn the art of mindful living. He realized there are wars, not only because humans have a lot of bombs and weapons, but because we have a lot of fear, anger, and hatred. But if we know how to breathe gently, and release stress and tension in our body, we can practice compassion toward our feelings of fear, anger, and hatred, and we can meet them with kindness. We can also practice compassion toward others. In this way, we learn to live in peace. Thich Nhat Hanh has written more than a hundred books on meditation, mindfulness, and peace! He’s also trained many young monks and nuns to continue teaching mindfulness, so that more people can learn how to practice peace and how to create a world without war.
Each biography is followed by a “What You Can Do” section which is an integrative way. An example of a What You Can Do Section for B Is For Breathe which follows goes like this
WHAT YOU CAN DO
When you breathe in and breathe out, can you feel your breath moving through your body, from your nose down your throat into your chest and then into your lungs? Can you feel how your breath affects your whole body—your shoulders, your stomach and even your hands and feet?
Let yourself feel peaceful and relaxed as you breathe naturally. Just by breathing mindfully you are building peace. In difficult moments pay attention to how your breathing changes. Do you ever hold your breath? Enjoy letting it go. Next time you feel nervous or anxious, whether it’s taking a test, giving an oral report, being up at bat, performing or anything else pay attention to your breath. Is it shallow? As you allow yourself to deepen, observe if you feel calmer.
DID YOU KNOW?
All living beings breathe. No matter what our beliefs or our politics are, we all have an in breath and an out breath that we can be aware of. And we can let this awareness nourish us throughout the day.
Sheryl says that after becoming A Reiki Master Teacher and discovering through meditation an ability to sense intuitive messages from a higher realm of life or Spirit she also became aware of the breathe as the force of eternal life and connection to life in a physical realm as well as helping to transcend multi-dimensional realms of life.
Recently when ill with the Coronavirus and when the cough in my throat constricted my lungs I was able to expand my lungs with a deep breath that exercised the lungs and oxygenated my body so I could stay at home and flow through the illness which was very challenging indeed. I think knowing how vital the breath was and how healing for my body and soul, it was Spirit’s way to help me. Tanya believes that acts of kindness and goodness will create many miracles: So many miracles that people will start to see that their soul power can manifest their thoughts and actions out into the world and as they change so the world changes.
Sheryl says that in our rapidly changing world we are experiencing a spiritual evolution-a time when people must realize the duality of life and start to merge their many talents and higher consciousness to solve personal, collective and universal problems. It’s like blinders must be removed from our eyes and thinking and we must begin to see the world in its multi- dimensional aspects. As we are more than we appear so the world is also layers upon layers of life forces and many realities.
Tanya thinks this book is for young readers but Sheryl feels everyone young and old could learn about people who used their unique interests, talents, and love of life to move themselves past any and all challenges to truly inspire and help change the world.
Tanya’s advice for people who wish to contribute to life in some way:
- Be true to your inner intuition and wisdom or soul interest. Peace and happiness do not come from the outside world but from within
- Discover who you are and with persistence consistency hard work follow your dreams and goals and never quit.
- Be creative……Several of the peaceful. Pete Seeger fused music with social and environmental activism.
Thich Nhat Hanh integrates spirituality with practicality. Wangari Maathai combined environmental issues with social issues. Jon Kabat-Zinn applies modern science to ancient practices of yoga and meditation. Ruth Johnson Colvin integrated building self-esteem into her adult literacy program. Leah Penniman connects farming with racial justice, community building, song, dance, health and healing, and even prayers and celebration.
Peace is a universal cause, but the way each person advances that cause is highly personal. In this book I share a variety of ways individual people have found to open to love and advance peace. In compiling these stories of peaceful activists, I discovered many commonalities. The main trait that all the activists share is that they each have love as a motivating force
We thank Tanya Zabinski author of Peace Love Action…Everyday Acts of Goodness for sharing her perspective of the creative force of Spirit which shines from within our heart and soul and guides us to find love in many places people events as that is the journey of the soul. Read about extraordinary people from A to Z who shared their messages of peace love action.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Tanya Zabinski has shared her life time journey of sharing goodness hope and beauty from her soul talents into the world and has written a book that shares 26 interesting and productive life journeys by visionaries changemakers and people who were born to improve the Human condition.
In my book A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening and the need of all beings here and beyond to embrace their higher consciousness and live a life of joy purposefulness and enduring self-discovery
Sheryl wrote, “The American people are ardently demanding changes to present corrupt, political, elitist, ruling-class practices that do not allow simple, kind, good values to be honored. As we question what we want in life and what is truly a just criteria for success, we are discovering that people embroiled in only a materialistic approach to life—either forgetting or never having considered their equally important spiritual needs for love, for compassion, to be of service to others, and to be free from greed— have become disconnected and dissatisfied. The quote by Shakespeare’s Polonius, “[t]o thine own self be true/And it must follow, as the night the day/Thou cannot then be false to any man,” is still a rightful way to approach and remember our deepest personal needs as well as the reason we incarnated into this life.
Sheryl has observed people who are not only happy and fulfilled, but often courageous and dynamic and bold leaders much needed in today’s world of conflict and confusion. Their general mindset reflects virtues including empathy, the acceptance of others with genuine regard for their differences, and respect for what we all can contribute to the world. In other words, these successful people are the antithesis to the competitive, unrelenting, and controlling drives of many of our politicians, corporate leaders, educators, and media who display a dog-eat-dog mentality.’
Tanya and I would have you know the time is now and we are all being given a great gift to awaken and know we are guided by a Higher Hand and Life Force of Love and can breathe in that magnificent gift to expand in sharing Peace Love through Action. Begin to know that everything you wish to contribute you can if you simply allow yourself to trust in all that is.

What do you need to know about vaccine mandates and the attempts by radical socialists to end the filibuster rule in the U.S. Senate?
Listen to this week’s show as Doc Holliday explains with words and sound bites ( with clips from Professor Dershowitz, U.S. Senator Tom Cotton, and Dan Bongino) to what is going on with the Biden vaccine mandates and Biden’s new found desire to destroy the U.S. Senate in which he spent decades being a part of that body of government.
President Biden has been the incredibly shrinking president, but no matter how low his approval numbers drop he can rest assured that his hand-picked vice president has worst numbers because insted of just shrinking she is actually shirking her responsibilities. No one has to look farther than the U.S. southern border to see that the task that President Biden asked her to do has been nothing more than a complete failure.
So just why is America turning its back on these so called leaders of the Democratic Party? Listen to this week’s show to better understand our position as American citizens today! Click on to listen now!

Diversity is a very dominant topic at the moment but in a negative sense because far too frequently we learn of negative news about another irreparable loss of our biodiversity. Less obvious and reported, we become aware of losing more and more regional languages, leaving our dominant languages to shape reality. And, on the positive side, every day we learn of yet another company that publicly declares its commitment to diversity.
This podcast is called “Conversations With Mother Earth”. Thus, you might rightfully ask, what does Nature really have to do with our business reality? Well, the answer is: everything! We are Nature and thus in past episodes we have discussed the importance of healthy soil, water and organic food.
https://youtu.be/-Jj25H-X80k
If we can learn one thing from Nature, it is that diversity makes our world more bountiful. Despite all good efforts, our business world is still quite homogeneous with men still leading the vast majority of companies despite at least 50% of business graduates in the leading economies being female.
The issue of inequality with gender looks even bleaker when we consider entrepreneurs seeking funding with women receiving only a shocking 3% of global venture capital. It is because of this issue that I welcome today’s guest Tanya Rolfe who is a known expert in this field as she has had a 15-year legal career as well as working with female founders and investors thorough the “Ladies Investment Club” and “Her Capital”. She is a co-founder of “Sophia” that provides capital and education for women to assist them to achieve their financial goals. Tanya is from the UK and is currently based in Singapore.
In this episode, Tanya shares why she left her legal career in order to dedicate her attention to the disparity in venture capital financing, some personal stories that female entrepreneurs experienced in their quest for capital, how our education has to change, how she is educating her son to see his sister and how we women can support each other on our journey, be it the corporate career or as an entrepreneur.
You will also learn a German expression: “Leben und leben lassen” which translates to “live and let live” and what it has to do with freedom of women.
This episode has shed lots of light on the lack of gender diversity in the venture capital scene. You know that in Nature where there is light, there is life. Hence, let’s help Tanya’s projects shed light on aspiring female founders.
Tune in…
This show looks at Bullying and the new book Fantastic Florence, It’s Not Your Fault: A Story about Bullying by Lesley Millard Zafran.
This is a story about bullying. Actually, it’s a look at a series of children’s books that not only talk about bullying but address the traumatic experiences some children face.
When I sat down to write this episode the memories of bullying came flooding back to me; Memories that I dismissed because I was kind of a smart-mouthed kid. Being shy and a little on the short side tends to make you a defensive but the truth is many of us have witnessed childhood traumas, traumas that we’ve dismissed for various reasons.
Well, Lesley Millard Zafran created a character named Fantastic Florence that could be a huge help to parents and teachers. Fantastic Florence is a wise and loving magical bag who hears the thoughts of children, and writes them messages when they are suffering. She validates their feelings as they struggle with situations they are too young to understand.
The newest book in the series is Fantastic Florence, It’s Not Your Fault: A Story about Bullying; A great tool for helping shy kids tell their stories. It gets them to open up about bullying, which is hard to do. It’s easy for children to blame themselves when things happen to them. They are often reluctant to talk about issues like bullying because they think it’s their fault.
Fantastic Florence assures the children in each story that the painful challenges that life is presenting to them are not their fault. She encourages them to speak to someone they trust about what is happening to them. In the story about Bullying a young girl named Ella is being harassed by her classmates; Florence hears her pain and uses her magic powers to soothe Ella’s anxieties by encouraging her to reframe the situation and reach out for help.
Florence’s brave, caring insights and message help Ella feel supported and less alone, and to realize that it is not her fault that she is being bullied. Every book in the series is designed to be a safe space for children.
The author, Lesley Millard Zafran is a mother of two who has worked as a consultant for schools and nonprofits for the past twenty years. She believes every child needs love, support and encouragement to feel brave and confident about themselves, and their place in the world. Creating Florence is her answer to that need.
If this sounds like something you’d like to learn more about we put a link to the entire Fantastic Florence series in the show notes, and that is it for another edition of Newsgram.

The author is a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Welfare as well as a Master’s degree in Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley. She has worked as a Psychotherapist in private practice, a Case Manager with developmentally disabled clients and their families, Child Therapist working with abused and battered children, and as a Behavioral Medicine Specialist and Sub-Chief.She has always thrived on helping other people solve problems. She had no idea that one day soon she would be facing serious problems of her own. The book is her personal story of injury and recovery. She has included the latest updated research on brain injury.
It all started after dropping her husband off at work. The author went on a bike ride. As someone who enjoyed hiking and staying active, it was just a routine day. Somehow, she suffered an accident as well as seizures. By the time she arrived at the hospital, her brain was bleeding, and it was unclear if she’d survive. Many others could tell similar stories.
Brain injuries cause more deaths than any other sports injury. In fact, a traumatic brain injury occurs every 15 seconds.
According to the is the Brain Injury Research Institute, brain injury is the number one cause of death in children and young adults. Those lucky enough to survive a brain injury face many challenges, some more so than others. Whether you’re coping with an injury yourself or have a loved one seeking to discover a new normal, you’ll be informed and inspired by this story of surviving and thriving after a brain injury.

Shinete Christina Maunze was born in Zimbabwe and educated in London. She’s an interesting woman with a fascinating story to tell…so she did in her new book Slaves of the One They Chose to Obey: A Family Torn Apart. This is the true story of her family and how it was destroyed by unscrupulous, ungodly prophecies, false-prophets and witch doctors.
Shinete: (Family Torn apart).
An important takeaway here is that you don’t have to be from Zimbabwe to believe in witchdoctors. We put our faith and trust in the wrong hands everyday right here in America. People are misled all the time and there’s not much we can do about it on this episode of Newsgram but if you look for similarities between your culture and Shinetes you’ll probably find them.
Her story is about a once loving family who learned to hate each other enough to hire hitmen to poison each other’s children, all on the advice of the prophets and witchdoctors.
Shinete: (Who They are). Witchdoctors, prophets or diviners are people who explain phenomenons or misfortunes that happen in families and for every misfortune families, who do not believe in God, they think their misfortunes can be explained by these diviners.
Her father didn’t believe in diviners but he wasn’t a Christian either. Sometimes he’d visit mediums, attempting to find explanations for the sickness and misfortunes that were affecting the family. During every consultation, the result was the same: they lied to him. So, refused to pay their fee and then one day her fathers best friend Mangidi paid him a visit.
Shinete: (Mangidi) Mangidi killed my father. Of course, he didn’t believe in God. That’s why he was easily manipulated by people who don’t believe in God to kill somebody else who was like my father.
She says the witch-doctors and false-prophets sole aim is to gain power and control over their victims by instilling fear and confusion in their minds.
Shinete: (What they do)
These are good people, trusting people who came to them for help. People like her niece…
Shinete: (Skarlet) My niece scarlet, she could have just divorced her husband but she was afraid because of what is expected of young women in our society. She ended up getting rid of so many pregnancies, one of which killed her.
She offers a more thorough explanation of what happened to her family in her book Slaves of the One They Chose to Obey: A Family Torn Apart.
Who do you turn to when you have questions? Where do you go for counseling? Who do you pray to? These are all deeply personal and highly individual so it’s important to keep an open mind. Depending on your beliefs seeking the advice of a Cult-Leader, a Medium or a Witch Doctor may seem like a logical solution. It’s why she wrote this book
Shinete: (People need to know) People have got to know what is happening. I know nobody wants to talk about these witchdoctors, prophets in case you get a curse, that’s what people think, I said people have got to know what is happening in families.
And a great way to spread the word is by writing a book. Now that that is done lets’ lighten things up a little bit. One thing I thought was interesting was the Zimbabwe equivalent of bar hopping. Shinete calls them beer parties.
Shinete (Beer Parties) There are two types of Beer parties. There are beer parties which are organized in order to fund-raise. They sell all sorts of things, beers, even sweets and then there are some that are organized in order to get help from the neighbors so you can brew beer and call the neighbors from the next village and they come and help you with the harvest. You have to provide food for them and beer and they help you out.
A community working together for the enjoyment of beer. A beer party sounds pretty good right now. Let’s all go out to our villages, brew some beer, bring in the harvest and talk about ways to unite our global community.
The book Slaves of the One They Chose to Obey is available now and there’s a link to it in the show notes.
And that will do it for another edition of Newsgram.
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
The mission for equal rights for women and in fact the idea of advancing rights for women has been a long time in the making. Legal, sexual, civil and even voting rights have been on the docket – just in the last 100 years. I have to be very careful here because I don’t want to give the wrong impression. This is not a political show and it’s not a history lesson but despite the many movements throughout history it seems we are still living in a Male Dominated Society.
You’re probably too young to remember the Sufferage movement resulting in the 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. I was around for the women’s liberation movement of the 60’s and 70’s which was more about workplace and lifestyle issues than it was governmental. We’ve had the Riot Girls movement in the 1990’s that shook up the music industry and most recently the “Me Too” movement bringing awareness to sexual abuse and violence. They have all brought positive change but we’re not there yet.
For Amy Croft it’s personal.
In her new book A Longing for Justice: In a Patriarchal Society she sums her own experiences in a word Patriarchy.
The irony of a man writing this story is not lost on me but just as white men marched with Dr. King I think a male can help shine a spot light on a patriarchalsociety. Now we may have differing opinions on all of this but this episode of Newsgram is not about me. It’s about Amy Croft.
She has just written a book that focus on her own complicated childhood and fraught adulthood. She understands the pressures on women having worked in social services for the majority of her working life, and hopes that her story will encourage women to find their way out of outmoded patriarchal arenas and move toward a more matriarchal vision.
In the preface to her book she say’s “…my journey’s been hard for me, personally-but perhaps fighting for justice is better than longing for it…”
I love that quote. It takes guts to get off the sidelines and, “..do something about it”, and Amy is not fooling around. In her book she shares her own personal trauma and refers to our male dominated society as the Big Bad Wolf.
She writes, “…this is no wolf. It is much more dangerous and insidious tan a wolf; it is a beast that seems unstoppable. It’s modus operandi needs to be examined so we can reveal the breadth, width, and depth of it….It has been allowed too much power, too much leeway, and too much attention, and it has become a loathsome monster to women and children (and to many men as well).
Now I was gonna stop there because those are some pretty strong words but she goes on and it’s pretty compelling stuff. Here’s more:
Wow. Her feelings are not vague. That is a segment of Chapter One. There is a lot more. She goes on to give you a very candid glimpse into her dysfunctional childhood, rape as a teenager, a series of unhealthy relationships leading to the loss of her children in a custody battle. There is eventually true love, new beginnings and lots of life lessons learned.
If you’re still listening to this podcast then I’ll bet there are parallels in your own life or the life of someone you know.
Amy Croft’s book A Longing for Justice: In a Patriarchal Society is ready for you to download at BarnesandNoble.com, Amazon.com and quite a few other places.
And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram.
Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of my newest book A New Life Awaits sharing an understanding of our Universal connection to all of life, both here and beyond, and ways to align our energetic and physical world for greater efficacy. Today I welcome Professor Stephen G. Post author of God and Love on Rt. 80 who shares an astonishing true story of faith, love and destiny for everyone who suspects that our universe and encounters are more meaningful than ordinary materialism or physical life allows us to embrace.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories of discovering who we are and how a physical life enables the soul being to refine and hold greater love and compassion for living a purposeful life. Beyond the duality of soul and physical life there is only unity, goodness and a gratitude for nature man and Spirit.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Professor Stephen Post will share how sometimes things happen that reveal an apparent pattern plan or meaning to the workings of the world. An awareness of the eternal Infinite Mind beyond space and time that sustains the universe is with us all the days of this life and beyond, as we find God redemption forgiveness and the understanding that we are all connected.
Stephen when asked to think back to his earlier life to remember an enduring event or interests and life style they would embrace as an adult and the life path they would follow Stephen tells us of a recurring dream that began when he was fifteen.
Stephen writes a memory from childhood,” The boy had no astonishing spiritual experiences like seeing a blazing bush on a rocky mountaintop, nor had he ever heard the voice of God telling him to do this or that like some prophet of old. He was modernly skeptical of such things, although not dismissive. It was only a simple recurring dream that started him off on a different kind of road trip that no one could ever have anticipated, much less condoned. The dream felt like a premonition, and from it many episodes of synchronicity followed. We all have had surprising encounters that are much too perfectly “set up” by the universe to come from chance and that point the way to a destiny of which we know nothing yet, but looking back we can connect the perfect dots.
“The dream came to him about a half dozen times over a couple of years, identical in its details: It was early morning, misty and silver-gray, at the end of a long road to the unknown west. High above the sea, a long-haired blond youth leaned outward over a ledge about to let go, when out of the mist appeared the light blue image of an angel’s face. Speaking softly and with great love, the angel said, “If you save him, you too shall live.” Then she faded back into the silver-gray mist. The boy understood that some special dreams can express divine intent, but he was no big believer in literal angels. He rarely remembered dreams at all. Yet each time this dream flowed into his sleeping mind, the boy remembered it vividly, and he quietly meditated on its details while seated on his favorite wooden pew in the back of the old chapel at St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire, where he was a young student both whimsical and spiritual. Was the dream a vision calling him out on a journey to the unknown west? Was he invited by the cosmos to head off on a mysterious pilgrimage to a sacred place he knew not where?”
“But the boy never strained to find an answer because he assumed one would flow toward him at the right time if there was one and there was no rushing it. He did wonder if the dream was just a creative delusion his brain tissue had concocted in order to make life more meaningful because beneath any happy human veneer emptiness is always a threat, and we are all desperate meaning-making creatures. But on the other hand, maybe the dream flowed from the infinite Mind of which all our minds are some small part, and, if so, it was a gift and calling.”
“The boy had a fabulous sacred studies teacher, Rev. Rod Welles, an Episcopal priest who loved the Buddhism of Alan Watts, and the boy told him about the dream over a formal Sunday dinner in the school’s large North Upper dining hall. North Upper was as elegantly constructed as the great dining hall in a Harry Potter novel, with sweeping varnished wooden beams pointing skywards, and oak tables and chairs in which sat five hundred young boys—a dozen boys per table—all suited up and just returned from mandatory Sunday chapel. Rev. Welles listened carefully, nodding his head, and said, “Well, in scripture an angel is a symbol of protection and brings messages, and light blue stands for purity and truth.” The other boys rolled their eyes and smiled, but no one actually laughed because they agreed that the boy was an okay kid, even if a bit ethereal and independent.
“Who knows, maybe there is synchronicity at work, and a youth on a ledge awaits you somewhere in the future,” Rev. Welles added. “Anyway, it’s just a dream. But it could be from God; it could have a true message and reflect something more than your own classroom worries about that ‘swirling downward vortex slowly sucking you into an immoral universe,’ as you tend to put things.”
Then Stephen we fast forwards to an unexpected but destined cross-country road trio to have a spiritual journey that led him to the discovery that a powerful force carries us towards our destinies.
“Surprisingly, the answers would come three thousand miles away, at the Pacific end of Route 80, and then a few months afterward up in Oregon. He had to travel far before he could know what the words “If you save him, you too shall live” meant, although he had not been sure they meant anything at all until some powerful westward events unfolded. The dream recurred in the boy’s sixteenth and seventeenth years. He had felt all along that normal pursuits were pointless. He did not want to be another J. P. Morgan, the most illustrious graduate of what everyone called “the” school, and he disliked every form of class elitism. God calls who God calls, regardless of money or family. There was nothing competitive in the boy, and he figured that it is better to always be kind than to always be right because most people are struggling with things hidden from view. More than anything, he feared being slowly digested by an immoral world at the cost of his soul; evil meant giving up on his sense of inner connection with the infinite Mind in a world where a lot of people wrongly assume that Matter came first in the universe and explains all. The boy could see that Mind came first and from it all things derive.”
This is a book and a story for those who hold onto the deep mystery of the divine original Mind “in the beginning,” sustaining all that exists, and within us all. It is about God, love, and synchronicity experienced in a new way, framed around an uncanny series of episodes that began with the dream and its alluring message: “If you save him, you too shall live.” This is a story about synchronicity, not luck; it is about perfectly timed occurrences that flow along too miraculously not to be planned by a cherishing universal Mind, with which the boy felt a secure oneness.
We take the journey so that we can encounter others who are placed in our path and through whom God works. Encounters can be routine, but some are absolutely pre-arranged.
Sheryl says “Of course this divine intelligence allows us free will and we discover this inner soul connection to the divine at what ever time in our life journey that is appropriate for us. In my case as an empath and sensitive child seeing faces at my window at night and feeling a touch on my arm which I couldn’t understand I came to know in time much later in my life that Spirit was always close by and I was always following the intuitive thoughts that seemed reasonable and helpful though I wasn’t in a religious or spiritually minded family and didn’t know about an afterlife or soul journey at that time. In actually I have come to see we are each of us on a spiritual journey even those who may not know it for we are spiritual beings having a physical life at the moment and the experiences and people we met are part of our life plan to remember ultimately our divine eternal soul life.”
Thinking how many religious beliefs fit into this understanding of Universal Mind or Source Professor Post wrote, “There is a chorus of agreement affirming Post’s view of infinite Mind, a universal One Mind that subsumes and unites all individual minds. This view is threaded from antiquity through the present. As Plato wrote, “Human nature was originally One and we were a whole.”
- Hippocrates stated, “There is one common flow, one common breathing, all things are in sympathy.
- Pico della Mirandola, the Renaissance philosopher, believed that the world is governed by a “unity whereby one creature is united with the others and all parts of the world constitute one world.”
- In the nineteenth century, the German philosopher G. W. F. Hegel called distant mental exchanges between humans “the magic tie.” He believed that “the intuitive spirit oversteps the confines of time and space; it beholds things remote; things long past, and things to come.”
- Arthur Schopenhauer, also in nineteenth century Germany, suggested that a single event could figure in two or more different chains of circumstance, linking the fates of different individuals in profound ways. He believed in a form of communication that took place between humans during dreams.
- Walt Whitman, America’s nineteenth-century bard, proclaimed, “All these separations and gaps shall be taken up and hooked and linked together…Nature and Man shall be disjoint and diffused no more.”
- His contemporary, philosopher-essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson, wrote, “There is one mind common to all individual men…[a] universal mind….” Emerson called this universal mind the Over-Soul which, he said, is “that unity…within which every man’s particular being is contained and made one with all other….[W]ithin man is the soul of the whole…the eternal ONE.”
Sheryl says “In other words God is within us and we are within God never separate only the outside world and societal or parental or religious training or indoctrination makes that separation of the physical and spiritual world so.”
Professor Post write, “Read on if you have had a premonition about a loved one imperiled far away, or suddenly encountered someone who was the perfect person to give you, at a desperate moment, exactly what you were praying for at the time. Read on if something that turned out to be absolutely true dropped into your mind as if from heaven, because you had no reason to think of it and it was way beyond anything you ever studied. It felt more like an invasion than an intuition. These things occur because our minds are part of the one cherishing Mind, but we have not yet fully awakened to this so we doubt our spiritual essence.
Read on if you have suddenly felt surrounded by an overwhelming energy of love that warmly and surprisingly revealed the innate dignity of a person near you for whom you had no personal affection or friendship, so that afterwards you determined to be kinder to that person than ever before, and you in fact became so enduringly. Any legitimate experience of infinite Mind has to become active in creative love, and never in destruction or hate. Sometimes what happens is so completely unlikely that it can only have been caused, although not in the usual sense of a material causation. It is pre-arranged so perfectly with such unbelievable timing and love that it could not be mere coincidence.
Professor Post wrote a clear understanding of God and the oneness of being, “Sir, God is an infinite universal original loving Mind that is all around us and within us, and all of our individual minds are a part of God’s mind like small flames in an eternal fire, which means we are all connected with God and one another and even with nature, and that explains spirituality,” answered the boy.
Stephen writes of the blue angel of his dream even though he might not have believed in angels at that time. He wrote, “The boy considered the blue angel to be a symbolic expression of infinite Mind trying to break through his worldly consciousness and awaken him into awareness of the vast nonlocal Mind that underlies the universe and of which our minds are some very small part. This Mind is also a field of love in which we are all interconnected with God and one another, and it is the sole source of all that is perfectly wise, enduring, energetic, and pure. Such spiritual love is not comprised of the same uneven emotional “stuff” of human love, which is always making exceptions, and lacking in wisdom, reliability, and purity. Mere human love turns easily to indifference and even hatred or violence, which is why the world keeps burning. We need something higher.”
Cathy Chaplin of Highview Residences which care for Alzheimer patients in London and Canada writes “Mind” as Stephen G. Post so beautifully points out is more than tissue neurons and matter. Sharing Professor Post’s three decades of experiences with those he refers to as deeply forgetful people Stephen shares that we can see that our souls remain whole despite the advance of deep memory loss.
Sheryl tells Stephen the story of a client a nurse who was sending her daughter who was having anxiety off to college for a spiritual reading and healing session. During the healing session Sheryl heard a song and told the young girl what she was hearing humming the tune and the girl started to cry. She said her grandmother had Alzheimer and no longer knew who she was. Sheryl instantly responded that her grandmother’s soul spirit memory within was exactly the same intelligent person who loved and knew her and while her physical brain had been affected, her eternal source of life and Mind were young healthy and aware. Sheryl asked the girl to sure to tell her mother the message of love from her grandmother that would never change.
When asked why he choose to refer to the boy who had the dream instead of using a nameStephen tell us something about his time in school and why he was called the Boy….“Well, I run cross-country well and do cross-country skiing, because that’s more me than the team stuff, and it keeps me independent. People call me ‘the boy’ because that’s what the cross-country coach, Señor Ordonez, calls me when we’re out running. ‘Okay, Boy, up the hill,’ he yells out. He never calls the students by their first names, only ‘the boy so-and-so,’ like ‘the boy Smith.’ But he just calls me ‘the boy’ and says that’s all I need, because my older brother was in school there a couple of years ago and he already claimed ‘the boy so-and-so.’ Plus, he and I are not much alike, and Señor Ordonez liked my brother a lot.” “So people just refer to you as ‘the boy’?” asked the professor. “Yes, they do, or at least many do, and I like that because Rev. Welles says that we should all go through the whole course of our lives staying a little childlike, keeping connected with the child within us all, like Jung wrote. That’s our true self, the self that isn’t beaten down by disappointments and loses the mirth and joy of the child.
Professor Stephen G. Post might like readers to take away with them after reading God and Love on Route 80 what he writes below, that our inner child or soul being should be loved and honored…He wrote,” The students all smiled and discussed this inner child, and they said that if he could stay spiritually young all his life it would be great. Rev. Welles chimed in, “You just have to put aside all the pressures of life and look deep into your soul and remember yourself as an innocent happy child and connect with that image. We all are only here a while anyway, and we are spiritual children so long as we don’t get completely bogged down.” “And that drop of the Mind within us that we talk about in philosophy class that is beyond time and place, that is really the child within,” offered the boy.
We thank you Professor Stephen G. Post author of God and Love on Route 80 for a wonderful merging of spiritual religious artistic and philosophical insights into how to listen to and create an extraordinary life experience by being aware of the Universal mind and connection to all living things.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have discussed an interesting dream that captivated a young boy’s heart mind and soul encouraging him to explore his inner needs and pay attention to the messages of the Universe God the Divine as he sought to find the life that best suited his proclivity for infinite healing love and a purposeful not necessarily materialistic life style.
He traveled across the country on Routes 80 all the way to San Francisco where he finally met up with the dream he had been having for years.
He wrote, “From the park he started to walk toward the Golden Gate Bridge, heading north. Usually the bridge shone orange-gold in the sun, but it was too early in the morning, maybe about eight or so, and there was no sun, just thick silvery-gray fog. He walked along the wide pedestrian path on the west side of the bridge, its edge rimmed by nothing but a breast-high metal fence, and just below it a thin ledge buffeted by a swirling moist wind over the Bay. He could only see about eight feet ahead through the thick silvery mist as the walkway flattened out when he neared the center of the great span. He felt very high up and much removed from the world. The boy was startled when he glanced to his left and saw somebody just a few feet away, on the other side of the railing, standing on the little ledge and leaning outwards. He looked just a few years older than the boy, with stringy blond hair and a thin face, and he was staring intently downward. All was quiet. For one intense moment, the boy’s eyes and those of the youth met, and then the boy spoke softly, “I really and truly hope you don’t plan to jump.” “Why not?” lamented the youth. “Life is just nothingness.” And then, desperately shouting at the top of his lungs out across the miles of empty space, he impressively recited Shakespeare’s monologue about despair: Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage. And then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. We have the same problem,” said the boy. “We could trade places more or less. Nothingness, chatter is all there is out there. Nothing is real. It’s all idiotic, whatever side of the railing you happen to be on. Your feeling this way is a good thing! It means that the infinite Mind is at work, cutting you off from silly goals so you can be free. We are both free. Look at me. All I’m doing is following a blue angel dream all the way from New Hampshire via Long Island and a stolen car on Route 80 for the express purpose of running into you at this very moment and in this very place. What a setup. This place right here is a holy place, a sacred place, and this is where I was going on my dreamy pilgrimage.
What’s your name?” the boy asked. “Harry,” the youth responded, looking confused but curious, “What the hell is a blue angel dream and what do you mean about following it across the country? You are weird, man. And what the hell is this Route 80 business? Maybe you really should be out here, and not me!” Harry exclaimed, smiling just a little. “Hey, Harry, we are all out there at times, just like you,” replied the boy. “Let me tell you about the dream and how I got to be standing here talking with you. Just promise that, if I tell you this story, you won’t jump while I’m telling it. I need about a half hour.”
Well the Boy followed his destiny and saved Harry as had been foretold in dreams he had for years.
Stephen and I would have you pay attention to your own intuitive nature and try to follow those instincts that lead you to happiness and being of service to others. The noise of the outside world does not have to dictate what you deem valuable purposeful and useful to your own soul development Trust the plan be courageous and live life boldly.

Whether you realize this or not, everyone is selling something as part of their job. You are either selling your boss on why you should be promoted, or you are selling your product/service as a business owner and sales are still 20% of your job or you will quickly be out of business. What usually happens is that when someone has natural sales skills they will get promoted to be a sales leader. That is not always the smart choice.

Did you grow up with the belief in a Soul Mate, Prince Charming, or some other idea of perfection in a marriage? If you did, you’re not alone. But it’s probably caused more challenges in your relationship than you realize. The opposite of perpetual bliss is not settling for misery, or even “good enough”.
Writer and speech-language pathologist Jonathan Morris Schwartz proposes a theory of love that is more reality based but still satisfying to the soul.

I had an experience over the holidays that I wanted to share with you this week. It was an epiphany I had about separation and how I purposely choose separation as a form of protection, and then get mad, angry, upset, etc. that I’m separate.
Once I was able to see what was happening in this particular experience, I could see the patterns across all areas of my life with my relationship with my partner, my friendships, co-workers, etc. Additionally, this awareness that I uncovered is also another layer of healing I thought I was done with. Funny how that works, just when we think we are done, there are always other layers!
In this episode I share my story of choosing separation, and what I’ve done to soften that belief so I can choose something better. As a bonus in this episode, I share some thoughts on how you can disassociate yourself from those thoughts that want to come up so you don’t become them. Instead, you get to easily choose something different. Repeatedly choosing something different will give you a new experience and one I know we are all in need of in 2022.

This is an auspicious week in aviation history. 13 years ago, on January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549, an Airbus A320, on a flight from New York City’s LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte, North Carolina, struck a flock of birds shortly after take-off, losing all engine power. Unable to reach any airport for an emergency landing due to their low altitude, pilots Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles glided the plane to a ditching in the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan.[1] All 155 people on board were rescued by nearby boats, with only a few serious injuries.
This water landing of a powerless jetliner with no deaths became known as the Miracle on the Hudson,[2] and a National Transportation Safety Board official described it as “the most successful ditching in aviation history”.[3] The Board rejected the notion that the pilot could have avoided ditching by returning to LaGuardia or diverting to nearby Teterboro Airport. Everyone knows this story. It was dramatized in the 2016 film Sully, starring Tom Hanksas Sullenberger.Today we have 5 amazing guests who are intimately involved in this story, Vallie Collins, David Sanderson, Ben Bostic, Stephen Mallon and Paula Paul.

In this episode, the Crones focus on discussing how they define a Tradition and how many practices develop within both families and as part of Witchcraft because not only do they work, but they become a comfortable way of doing things. The Witchstone Oracle Card for this episode is North. The podcast wraps up with a tip about using various rhyming apps when writing spells or rituals.
Most people live mundane, routine lives, to say that of Vincent D’Souza would be a severe understatement to someone who presently identifies as transgender, as well as a spiritualist. Vincent was born in Kampala in Uganda of Indian ethnicity but due to a brother’s health issues the family moved to the Kenyan coastline. The Family’s stay in Kenya was short-lived and in 1965 Vincent arrived in London in the UK. While in the UK Vincent went to Reading University to read Agriculture and Agricultural Engineering obtaining both bachelor and master’s degrees respectively. Vincent also had a short spell in the British Army. The British inclement weather eventually led Vincent with the support of a close friend to emigrate to Venezuela. Over the years Vincent moved back and forth between Venezuela and the UK before finally moving to Australia in 1991 where Vincent still lives to this very day just south-east of Perth in the wheat belt. Vincent has also lived in Germany and East Timor and has four nationalities and is entitled to two more. It would be a fair assumption to say Vincent has seen a lot of the world in all its various forms.
The family originally came from Goa a state in Western India, a state prior to 1961 having been a Portuguese colony evidenced with its 17th century churches, tropical spice plantations and of course now as a holiday destination with its beautiful golden beaches and warm waters of the Arabian Sea.
Having spoken to Vincent on several occasions I think it would be unbiased enough of me to say Vincent has had a varied and interesting career path to date; apart from his early academical years Vincent has turned to carpentry, plumbing, masonry, gardening, farming, sewing, alternative healing-Reiki, Chiron, Australian Bush Flower Essences, the journey and Biofeedback – as well as spiritualism, so quite a diverse life. Of course, to this extensive list we must add writing something Vincent has recently dipped his toe into. Is there no end to Vincent’s many talents! Here’s our video chat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdUhJil7nOY
Vincent’s book is a collection of prayers, prayers Vincent as a spiritualist believes he was guided to record and share to motivate people to know and heal themselves and the world-hence the subtitle on the book cover Prayers to Heal People and The World.
In the book, which is extremely well written you’ll see that Vincent has grouped certain prayers in a strategic and purposeful manner. The book has evolved over time and while he has written another book for the purpose of this podcast we’re concentrating solely on Happy People- Happy World for this short book is pact, teeming with interesting thoughts, facts and issues circling spiritualism and all that it encompasses. Oneness is key
This book will appeal to a wide audience particularly those who have a nose for everything spiritualistic. Enjoy, I certainly did.
https://www.amazon.com/Happy-People-World-Prayers-Heal-ebook/dp/B09KXLLJ9H/ref=sr_1_3?crid=9J8RBV6WAO41&keywords=happy+people+happy+world+vincent+d%27souza&qid=1641931782&sprefix=happy+people+happy+world+vincent+d%27souza%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-3
After more than 20 other Episodes – and nearing the end of this Series – it is time to talk about another tasty treat, namely coffee!
Whether we are coffee imbibers or not, we are all familiar with how coffee can affect our mood and the internet is full of memes about coffee addiction. I, and many of my acquaintances, love coffee. We are not alone. Over 60% of Americans do as well. Among Europeans, the Dutch lead the list of coffee-lovers while the Italians (surprisingly to me) are in the lower half of EU countries.
https://youtu.be/pY7Xuu9reWk
Coffee, however, is not only a beverage that supplies us with our morning energy boost. More importantly, it is also fuels our social connections. In my native country of Croatia, having a coffee with friends offers a reason to share the latest gossip – especially if it can also be done as an excuse to escape the office. And in some places in Europe, one’s fortune can be predicted from the coffee ground patterns at the bottom of a cup!
In this episode, my guest for “Conversations with Mother Earth” is Matthew Roebuck. And although I do not believe he will foretell your future, I invited him because of his work expertise gained at Quijote Kaffee from Hamburg, Germany which is setting new standards within the coffee industry.
We will talk about transparent standards in the value chain, coffee quality and types, and people behind the energetic drink we enjoy. As Matt explained in this episode, each cup of coffee you and I enjoy is a result of the hard labour of so many people so far away from us. With every purchase of premium coffee we can show our appreciation for their hard work.
A major insight was that the price of coffee does not need to increase in order to secure a decent pay for everybody along the value chain. We simply need to find the right brand that pay a decent wage to its farmers. Tune in…
Each leg, and each supporting rung, will be described and how they interact with a continually progressive explanation of those interactions as the chapters unfold.
Key takeaways:
- Common change management efforts fail! Senior and middle managers, who attempt to change their organizations, are offered a glut of analysis techniques that only provide short-term solutions. Many of these analysis techniques express they supply the panacea of business solutions to both companies and organizations. They can’t. Short-term solutions will not provide the required processes that tie into the organizational policy, the integrated follow-on processes, and later procedures without connecting management decisions throughout the whole of the enterprise.
Unless those independent analysis tools offered affect continuous improvement and become part of the culture, focused on a concerted effort, the resources used are most often wasted as they fail to bring the results intended or needed. Unless companies learn how to customize change and continuous improvement for their industries, and in their individual environments, they are doomed to continually wrestle with their resources in their efforts to engage solutions that are critical to long-term and competitive successes.

On this edition of Newsgram we take a look at some Cowboy style wisdom from Robert A. Wilson author of MY WISDOM BREATHES: Wisdom Energizes Fun and we are going to judge a book by its cover because it was the cover of this book that first caught my eye. Imagine the silhouette of a bucking bronco and a cowboy trying to hang on, arm waving, hat flying with the words. “Life is a journey. Enjoy the ride”. How cool is that?
The title of the book is My Wisdom Breathes: Wisdom Energizes Fun and it’s by Robert A. Wilson who wants you to read the book out loud without trying to know what you’re reading to allow yourself the freedom to go on a journey of imaginative enlightenment. Open your eyes to having fun.
(Evans)”…A friend of mine she says I get twice as much out of it if I read it out loud because you hear yourself say it. This book is written in first person. When you read it it acts like you wrote it, your sub-conscious and unconscious inner landscape will never understand that but when you read it out loud in your own voice you hear yourself speaking about that…”
It’s a book of poetry, written in first person with minimal punctuation. It’s politically incorrect, grammatically improper and designed to discharge and soar you out of your past to experience your new now. But why?
(Evans) “…Well this is my natural way of writing and I really never liked fitting into society so I call it my unsocietized wisdom and my political incorrect acumen to expand but my poetry it comes from a cowboy background to the oil field and I have to admit it’s just my natural ability…”
It’s also a lot of fun. When you’re having a bad day open up My Wisdom Breathes to any page and experience the fun frivolity of some of these rhymes designed to uplift and encourage you to be you to be your best. It’s not just another self help book. It’s a tool to activate your imagination.
(Evans) “…It activates your imagination, energizes your wisdom, enterprises your intuition and opens your innovation and it opens your talent to expand through life cause you are gifted in so many ways but you gifts are unique to you and they are gonna be outside the society trained mind and that’s what i want people to take away…”
Couldn’t have said it better. MY WISDOM BREATHES: Wisdom Energizes Funby ROBERT A. WILSON is available wherever books are sold.
If “How can I level up my business, relationships, focus, or even just life in general?” Is a question that crosses your mind – you have come to the right place. On High Frequency Mindset we are going to unpack those questions and find the solutions that will launch you into action for rapid, concrete results. You can check out other ways to level up right here on my website.
In this episode we are going to get into the topic of sales – the process, the resistance, and the relationship building aspects with my friend Connie Whitman.
Connie shares her expert knowledge, gained from nearly 40 years in sales, about how to have “Objectionless Buyers.” She reminds us that there are 2 conversations going on – 1 at the conscious level, the other at the subconscious level. And the subconscious conversation is much more powerful. Sounds deep right? Are you ready to learn about it?
In order to increase your sales success, you need to understand and control the subconscious level. You can move from resistance to objectionless by understanding the 5 layers of resistance, which are largely at the subconscious level, and how to address them.
As Connie reminds us, we need to park our ego and put the interests of the prospective client first. We all know that people do business with people they know, like, and trust. Connie reminds us that they may know, like, and trust you, but in order to do business with you, they need to remember you. When you put their interests first, they’ll like and trust you. And they’ll remember you. Which positions you to earn their business!

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher medium and author of her newest book in the trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares the spirit of divinity that lives within each of us that yearns to know itself as love and infinite possibilities, seeking to champion the challenges of modern day life. Whether in body or pure energy, the soul is the complete oneness of Spirit’s Intelligence in many lifetimes seeking higher consciousness. Knowing this is the blueprint for healing. I am delighted to welcome Dr. Rita Louise, author of her new book The Dysfunctional Dance Of The Empath and Narcissist. It is an in-depth look at the dynamics between the loving, compassionate and often selfless empaths and those willing to take from them, the self-serving narcissists, and endeavors to uncover the unconscious patterns that keep them trapped in cycles of abusive toxic relationships that often are the result of trauma and abuse from childhood.
Sheryl is delighted to welcome a kindred soul to Healing From Within for as an intuitive energy practitioner Rita and Sheryl share many stories of miracles, higher consciousness and ways to work with energy thoughts, emotions and words to create a better life.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and insights into the metaphysical world beyond physical life to fully understand who we are, where we come from, and the many realities of life as a spiritual being exploring a physical life to refine and restore soul’s energetic content to reach higher levels of consciousness.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Dr. Rita Louise a survivor of childhood abuse has emerged as a gifted empath and talented clairvoyant medical intuitive. She is a naturopathic physician and the founder of the Institute of Applied Energetics that trains students in the art of medical intuition, intuitive counseling and energy medicine. She has lectured on health and healing ghosts, intuition, ancient mysteries and the paranormal. Today we will discuss matters relating to all those topics.
When Dr. Louise is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person, place, event or value that may have been important and shown her or others the lifestyle she would embrace or seek as an adult she immediately discusses her dysfunctional family. In her book she discusses four parenting styles which ultimately in one way or another created problems for their children.
Dr. Louise writes, “I am not even sure where to start my story. I have experienced so much pain and struggled with boatloads of shame throughout my life. I grew up in a large family. There were eight kids in total – five girls and three boys. I was number three, the rebel, and the “thorn in my mother’s side.” I grew up believing that there was something inherently wrong with me. At birth, I was born breach and had the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck. My mother would, over the years, remind me that this incident could have left me “retarded.” Dysfunction was rampant in our household. One sister would always make a joke of it, stating how our family “put the fun in dysfunctional.” We lived in a shame-based home. Its secrets held tighter than all of the gold at Fort Knox. In it, my mom ruled with an iron hand. Infractions of her rules always lead to enormous consequences, ranging from physical, mental to emotional abuse. Her wrath was quick and severe if you did something wrong. My parents did provide us with food, clothing, and shelter, but that was about all we got. They were uninvolved in our lives. My mom and I had a challenging relationship right from the start. I spent the bulk of my life believing she hated me, that she detested me and that I was the bane of her existence.”
I am not sure how, when, or why this happened, but as a child, I was excruciatingly shy. If I were around strangers or felt the slightest bit ill at ease, I would not talk. I can say this now, but did not understand it at the time; I felt powerless. It took a lot of energy and inner courage to let a fire build in my gut and have words come out of my mouth. At least that is how it felt to me. I also felt worthless. I was highly sensitive to what was going on around me and would often take on or act out the emotions of everyone in the room. My sensitivity would spike if there were anger, stress, or anxiety present, which did not help my situation
Dr. Louise’s previous books have been about health and healing, ghosts and ancient mysteries and myths and legends which say something about human origin that also sheds light on healing dysfunctional relationships?
She writes, “It is not my intention to write an in-depth thesis about metaphysical and New Age topics, but as we delve into further discussions about ourselves and our interactions with others, a base understanding of how we function on energetic levels is required. These insights will afford you another level of knowledge, another perspective of who you are and what is going on inside of you. It will also provide you a fresh look at your interactions with others. Surrounding our physical bodies is a field of subtle energy referred to in esoteric literature as the aura or auric field. It is our personal space. We recognize our personal space most acutely when someone infringes on it. When someone uninvitingly stands too close to us, we often experience a strange sense of physical discomfort. We may feel violated and wish they would take a step back. We can sense them and their energy even though physical contact has not occurred. The aura is composed of a series of subtle bodies, the etheric body, the emotional or astral body, the mental body, and the causal body. Each subtle body has unique properties and plays a distinct role in our interactions with the world.
Everything that we think or do affects our auric field. It is also affected by the energies of our environment. It is our first line of defense. Our aura stands firm when the vibration of joy and love fill our inner world. It can effectively protect us from the invading energies of others. If we are scared, worried, or filled with dread, the vibration of our aura weakens. It becomes more porous. External forces can more readily influence us. Low vibrations of the auric field can leave us vulnerable, which can ultimately affect our wellbeing.
We are each filled with life-giving energy called chi, which fills and animates us. Everything in the universe is dependent on the invigorating power this neutral energy provides, including ourselves. We experience it through its actions, even though it is unseen. It is generally agreed upon that, if deprived of this animating force, we would cease to exist. The structures of the subtle body support the movement of subtle energy, just like our arteries, veins, and capillaries support the flow of blood through the physical body. Without an understanding of these energetic laws of nature it is truly almost impossible to live a fulfilled and healthy life journey.
We are firmly planted in our bodies when we feel whole, confident, powerful, and secure. Our life force energy (chi) is flowing. In this state, we feel calm and relaxed, our anxiety is low or absent, and life’s little difficulties have a hard time sticking to us. When we are triggered, a number of things happen. First and foremost, we, as spirit, are knocked out of our subtle energy bodies. The quantity or quality of subtle energy that moves through our energy channels becomes impaired. Our ability to ground the body becomes diminished. This dynamic causes us to hold on to activated negative thoughts and emotions. These discordant vibrations can become trapped within us and create several adverse reactions, including having difficulties being in the present moment. When we are not in the present moment, we miss out on life as it unfolds before us. We are not experiencing what is happening right here and right now. Granted, we all daydream and space out. Evidence suggests that daydreaming, creativity, and the imaginative mind often go together. It allows us to free-flow thoughts and ideas, which can lead to a eureka moment. When we are triggered, we are not daydreaming. Triggering often brings on a cascade of thoughts that can keep us in a negative thought pattern and out of the present moment. Our thoughts are either in the past or in the future. We may not realize we have mentally digressed while in this state and may believe that we are utilizing our mental energy in a helpful, productive way. We may find ourselves trying to deal with situations by going over them again and again in our minds. When this occurs, we are experiencing something called “intrusive thoughts.”
It seems some people seem to find true love right off the bat, while there is a whole group of people who seem to attract the one rotten apple at the bottom of the barrel. Why do some people repeatedly find themselves getting into unhealthy relationships?
Dr. Louise basically thinks they still feel they are the problem or perhaps feel empowered to care for and help or change the other person. It is necessary to examine your relationships and yourself to figure out why you are attracting the same type of energy or person over and over again. Rita tells us to fast forward, many years, several marriages, and many long-term relationships later. It is December of 2018, the week before Christmas. Rita had just caught her then live-in boyfriend sneaking alcohol into the house and drinking again. Despite multiple threats, begging and pleading with him to get help, nothing had changed. Rita was at her wit’s end, and he just placed the straw that broke this camel’s back. It was not only his secretive drinking that concerned her. There seemed to be something fundamentally wrong with him. His behavior was erratic. A simple question or innocent comment would set him off into some weird delusional place, a place that he would often live in for days. Then the fun would begin. Rita would spent her days and nights walking around on eggshells. Whenever she would put her foot down and threaten to kick him out, he would seem to open up, acknowledge his shortcomings, and promise to do something about it. Promise, yes, do something about it, no. It became evident that he did not care about Rita’s wants and needs. Then on that fateful day, she busted him with yet another bottle of booze. She was done. It did not matter to me that he had wrecked his car months before and according to him, was not drivable. It was not my problem that he did not do anything to repair it. It was also not my problem that he had no major credit cards, so he could not get a rental. He had to go. Somehow, through some kind of divine intervention, his car worked well enough for him to make it out of my driveway and out of my life. I do not mean to drag out this part of the story, but it is critical in understanding what happened next.
This is where things got beyond odd from a synchronicity perspective. My cell phone chimed. It was a message from one of my ex-husband’s current wife, a woman whom Rita had only spoken to once in the past. Why would she be reaching out to Rita? Her message stated something to the effect that she had been noticing some patterns in my ex’s behavior and wanted to see if I had experienced the same kinds of issues with him. Ok, Rita was intrigued. He was a piece of work. Interestingly, his behavior on many levels was reflective of the relationship that was ending. Suffice it to say they shared an excessive number of characteristics that were challenging. We connected on the phone later that day. The first thing that came out of her mouth, after a few general pleasantries, was “he’s a narcissist.” My whole world changed in that instant. I had just been reading material about that very topic, noticing how very narcissistic my current, now ex-beau had been. Her disclosure turned what I thought had been about me and my imagination into something up close and personal. My mind started reeling. It caused me to stop and look long and hard at my life.
What I came to realize was the scary fact that the majority of my intimate relationships were abusive. Rita kept going back in time, evaluating each of her romantic interactions until she reached her family of origin. Wow! she came to discover that the abuse had not ended with the sid not matter. They taught her that people did not like her, let alone myself. They taught me that she was inherently flawed and internally broken. They taught Rita she did not have a choice. They taught her how to take on all of the responsibilities while having no power to change it. They taught her that love meant giving up on myself, an act inextricably tied to how much she was willing to tolerate. Yes, she had a Ph.D. In standing there and silently taking it. Rita made an excellent punching bag, figuratively speaking, and a willing victim for people who were interested in sucking her dry. Most sensitives or empaths are great at helping others but not so good at taking care of themselves.
We are definitely programmed as we grow up to accept certain behaviors from others even when they are damaging to our well being. Definitely Rita’s parents and siblings had her believing she was an angry and unhappy person causing all her problems when in actuality Rita like so many children was being raised by emotionally distant parents who had never resolved their own issue so were unable to provide a happy healthy home for their eight children. Living on her own in California Rita had spent a lot of time reading metaphysical and self-help books as part of my healing plan. One day, during this period, she had a revelation that was even more remarkable. Rita ascertained that she was not a violent, angry person. She had not had one of yelling, screaming, and pounding on doors bouts since she had moved out of my parents’ house. She had not hit anyone. She had not experienced the level of rage I had come to know earlier in my life even once. She was, in reality, a laid-back person for the most part. Imagine that!
Seems before we work on our relationships, we must work on ourselves and discover what triggers make us resort to our earlier childhood where we may have been traumatized. Rita finally left her dysfunctional family and moved to California. Several amazing things happened with my move. She quickly found somewhere to live. By week’s end, she had obtained a job. Rita’s life started changing rapidly. She had hope for the first time in my life. She was confident that things would be all right.
Rita also became acutely aware of how dysfunctional she was and realized that she needed healing on multiple levels. I could see that my dreaded fear of communicating with others was also a handicap. I instinctively knew I had to tackle this deficit, so I devised a plan. Her first goal was to say hi to the person behind the counter at the convenience mart. She needed to do this before they had the opportunity to greet her. While this might sound like an effortless task to anyone reading these words, it was excruciating for Rita. She would have to stop before I walked in the store, take a deep breath, suck it up, and proceed inside. It took everything she had to do. Day by day, this practice got easier. Her first year in California concluded with her receiving her drafting certification and obtaining a good-paying job, taking the good with the bad.
Dr. Louise tells us how we might know we are unhappy and in a toxic relationship by the following quote from Don Ruiz, in his book The Four Agreements and tells us: In your whole life nobody has ever abused you more than you have abused yourself. And the limit of your self-abuse is exactly the limit that you will tolerate from someone else. If someone abuses you a little more than you abuse yourself, you will probably walk away from that person. But if someone abuses you a little less than you abuse yourself, you will probably stay in the relationship and tolerate it endlessly. If you abuse yourself very badly, you can even tolerate someone who beats you up, humiliates you, and treats you like dirt. Why? Because in your belief system you say, “I deserve it. This person is doing me a favor by being with me. I’m not worthy of love and respect. I’m not good enough
We go on to discuss childhood abuse and how it has set you up to view the world as a troublesome place.
The definition of abuse is a pattern of behavior used by one person that causes harm to another. The harsh tactics utilized are often employed to gain and maintain power over another, and in this instance, a child. A one time situation, such as paddling a child’s bottom for a flagrant transgression, does not qualify as abuse. Abuse is an act that is repeated and has appeared multiple times in an individual’s life, if not daily. The line is clear for some people as to what is and what is not considered abuse. It is never appropriate, for example, to have sexual contact with a child. There are many instances where the line is less obvious. Separating what proper discipline or child-rearing strategies are from what is abusive can be tricky, especially when viewed through a child’s eyes. Physical trauma is what most people think of when they hear the word abuse. This is not the case.
Abuse comes in a variety of forms, including sexual, verbal, or emotional abuse. Witnessing cruelty in cases of domestic violence is also identified as a form of child abuse. Neglect, the lack of love, care, and attention for a child, can damage a child just as much as any other form of maltreatment. Sadly, children who grow up in toxic households become accustomed to varying levels of abuse. The treatment they experience is seen as commonplace and do not recognize the injury they have just encountered.
The Many Shades Of Abuse If you are unsure if you are the victim of abuse, here is a simple checklist you can use to assess your life. As you evaluate the items on the list, do not consider a once-off situation but instead look for repeated patterns of negative parental behavior. If you find yourself answering yes to several items on this list, then perhaps you are a survivor of abuse.
Tell-tale Signs Of Abuse Has one or both parents regularly or routinely:
Hit or harmed you in any way?
Threatened to hurt or kill you?
Forced you to have sex with him or her or another individual? (Sexual contact with a minor is abuse even if this only happens once.)
Threatened to destroy your personal property and possessions?
Disregard your opinions, ideas, suggestions, or needs?
Made you feel bad about yourself or put you down?
Belittled and trivialized you, your accomplishments, or your hopes and dreams?
Made fun of you, and caused you
to feel shame or embarrassment? Pointed out your flaws, mistakes, or shortcomings?
Made you endure physical closeness that you did not want?
Crossed your boundaries?
Called you names, criticized you harshly, or made cutting remarks under their breath?
Acted emotionally distant or emotionally unavailable most of the time?
Disregard your feelings? Yelled or screamed at you or flew into a rage? Made you feel guilty for being your authentic self or not appreciating you for who you were?
Stifled your decisions, even when you were old enough to decide on your own?
Made you feel guilty for doing what you wanted and not what they wanted? Any of these things alone, or in combination, can leave a negative impression on a child’s psyche. We can wear our trauma on our shirtsleeves, where everyone can see our dysfunction, or we can bury it into the deep dark recesses of our minds. That is, until something happens and triggers us, and our bodies automatically respond.
If the relationship is unhealthy why do people stay? They stay because it is all they know and they blame themselves rather than the other person. It is only when they begin to see the pattern and discover how they physical feel and why that change is possible. It is from this place that I started digging into the dynamics of empaths and narcissists. Dr. Louise began to see the patterns of abuse she had learned to tolerate over the years. She was finally able to put words to her experiences. It validated so much. It took what had happened to her from some vague “thing” looming in the background and made it real, painful, but real. She had been oblivious to what was going on right in front of her face. As intuitive and as self-reflecting as she is she did not see it. For her, sheI did not understand two basic concepts. One; that it is her job to make herself happy. Nobody else does it for her. When you are anxious, stressed, and walking around on eggshells, you are getting a clear indicator that you are not content. The second concept was the notion of choice. She could choose! You do not know how happy she was to hear those words. She had a choice, and through this choice, she could control my emotional destiny. Thus began the journey to healing.
Dr. Louise clearly tells us why we resist necessary change and writes, “We often resist change because of fear of further failure or loss. Our childhood experiences are fundamental to our emotional development. These experiences set the tone of our lives and form the foundation of how we act and react in every situation we encounter. Our emotions start to develop in the womb and continue until we reach the age of 7. During our formative years, our parents play a pivotal role in how we experience the world. Through them, we learn to determine what is safe from what is not. Parenting, in general, is a complex juggling act. It is a parent’s job to teach and guide their children into the ways of the world and the rules prescribed by society. Humans, said plainly, are a domesticated species. Our parents teach us the skills required to survive in polite society. It is our parent’s job to teach us good from bad, and right from wrong. They show us these things through a variety of rewards and punishments. When we learn to say “Ma Ma” or “Da Da”, we are praised and encouraged. Discipline, on the other hand, is employed if we do something that breaks one of our parent’s rules. We are a bad boy or a bad girl. This training leads to socialization and successful functioning in today’s society. This kind of enculturation happens in every civilization on the planet and IS what makes us intrinsically human. Children, by nature, can be loud and unruly. These behaviors can cause parents to feel irritated, annoyed, or frustrated. If a parent engages in the challenges of parenthood from an unhealthy place, from a place of power and control over their children, anger or fear, abuse can follow.”
We might resist change because of the style of parenting we experienced while growing up. The strategy our parents used to raise us and help us assimilate into society varies greatly. A parenting style is a series of categories used by psychologists to identify the way adults traditionally rear their children. Each type describes a set of practices a parent may employ. The four primary parenting styles include: authoritarian, permissive, uninvolved, and authoritative.
Authoritarian Parents Characteristics of the authoritarian parenting style encompass a life filled with rules with little parental responsiveness. Parental responsiveness refers to the degree in which a parent reacts to the child’s needs in an accepting and supportive manner. Authoritarian parents seldom show warmth toward their children and are often cold and harsh. They lack patience and value discipline over fun.
Permissive Parents Permissive parents, sometimes called indulgent parents, are the least demanding but are very responsive to the child’s needs. They are warm and loving to their children and want them to be happy. Permissive parents have a hard time saying “No.” They avoid exerting their power and authority. They tend to utilize gift-giving and enticement, versus boundaries and expectations, as their primary parenting tools. They make little or no attempt to control or discipline their offspring. These parents are lenient, avoid confrontation, and rarely make or enforce rules and guidelines. This parenting style provides little structure for their children. Children of permissive parents often have issues taking responsibility or lack a strong internal compass. They may also find themselves lacking self-confidence or are more vulnerable to peer influences.
Uninvolved parents Uninvolved parents are not demanding and lack responsiveness to their child’s needs. Uninvolved parents might meet that child’s basic needs for food and shelter, but often believe this is where their duties end. They practice a hands-off parenting style where they, on some levels, expect their children to raise themselves. They are often self-centered, indifferent, dismissive, or downright neglectful. They do not devote much time or energy into their child’s emotional needs, especially in the way of guidance or affection. Many times, the neglect experienced by these children is not intentional. Uninvolved parents are often busy with work commitments, activities, or other life issues. They can be so wrapped up in their personal affairs that they fail to recognize or notice the needs and concerns of their offspring. Sometimes they are overwhelmed by the tasks required to survive day to day. Mental health or substance abuse issues may also factor in these parent’s inability to care for their children. Children raised by indifferent parents have some of the worst psychological adjustment second only to hostile or abusive parenting. Authoritative Parents Authoritative parents have high standards and expectations of their children, which is tempered by their being responsive to their child’s needs. These parents, while setting limits, provide their children a warm, loving, and nurturing environment. They listen to their children and offer them the support they need. Authoritative parents, like authoritarian parents, expect their children to obey their rules and behave appropriately. How the authoritative parent addresses discipline, however, is vastly different. Authoritative parents typically set clear and achievable limits. They use reason, negotiation, and discussion to teach their children what they require of them and back up their rules by enforcing consistent boundaries. They are firm when disciplining but are not mean or emotionally reactive when a child disobeys. Authoritative parents do not try to control their children and expect them to obey blindly like an authoritarian parent. This parenting style allows their children to act independently, supporting self-esteem and confidence while providing them with a safety net for the times they may fall and falter. This parenting style is the most effective method of child-rearing and tends to produce well-adjusted, confident, and successful kids.
Many parents are unprepared for their role as a caregiver. They might not have the skills needed to do the job correctly. They may suffer some form of substance abuse or have a mental health issue that interferes with their ability to interact with their children appropriately. They might lack family or community support or feel overwhelmed with the tasks required of them.
Understanding how you developed in childhood and your partner may offer signs to how your relationship will develop either lovingly or filled with fear and doubt.
There are four primary attachment styles: secure, dismissive-avoidant, anxious-preoccupied, and fearful avoidant. Each has different developmental causes and express themselves in a unique set of internal beliefs and triggering behaviors. Dr. Phillip Shaver and Dr. Cindy Hazan, in their research suggest that we exhibit the same attachment patterns with our romantic partner as we developed as an infant. By understanding your style of attachment, you may gain insights into how you developed emotionally and how you may still be acting and reacting in adulthood.
Perhaps in these strange changing times we may look at the insensitivity of many around us and see that a liberal approach has led to many people who feel entitled and this leads to dysfunction in relationships and society. Understanding these people and their behavior may help us to choose to limit our time with them which often causes us discomfort and dysfunction.
“Entitlement Individuals” who have entitlement as a negative core belief see themselves as unique or superior and entitled to exclusive rights and privileges. Because they are exceptional, it only makes sense that they would also deserve a great deal of attention or praise from those around them. From this grandiose position, they may make demands or engage in behaviors without regard to how it may affect others. People who operate based on this core belief are the narcissists of the world. They believe that they can do what they want, which can include rule-breaking. They are also not required, especially in their own minds, to reciprocate in social interactions, which can lead to resentment in others.
People who develop this core belief use it to compensate for feelings of defectiveness or undesirability. Unresolved core beliefs can significantly impact our relationships. When our needs as children are not met, we can develop a subconscious fear that our needs will never be satisfied. This early life trauma can cause us to base our relationship on need instead of love. A relationship built on need is a relationship based on fear. This often, overlooked concept is why so many people end up settling for people they do not love or at times, even like. Their need to be in a relationship outweighs their need for happiness. Whether they fear abandonment, rejection, or have other significant inner wounds, the bottom line is that they do not want to experience life on their own and will utilize whatever means possible to avoid it. Confusion may arise for the partner or spouse of these individuals because they may have a hard time discerning if they are actually loved or if they are only needed to satisfy the other’s desperate attempts at feeling safe.
We thank Dr. Rita Louise author of The Dysfunctional Dance of the Empath and Narcissist and for sharing an interesting journey of connections to life here and beyond helping us know that we carry within us the remembrances of many times place and relationships and this life is a new effort to refine our soul energy and improve our relationships with any and all we become involved in. Nothing is ever lost but simply perceived with new wisdom.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have explored the origins of our emotions and outlooks on life from our earliest childhood days and the parenting style we grew up under and how it affected future relationships. We have perhaps learned that now as mature citizens of an ever evolving and changing world we can allow accept and surrender to events without so much judgment fear negativity or even hostility and find the silver lining in our lives moving past the limitations and restrictions to become aware of your own personal needs and desires and find your way beyond the societal process of your earlier challenges.
Dr. Louise has done a great job in describing all the influences that make up our emotional and physical realities and ways to master a more healthy adult life. She writes, ”Your emotional scars are more than likely affecting you today. Having a better understanding of what happened to you in your formative years offers you the opportunity to take a step back and make changes. You might not have had a choice when you were a child, but now you do. When we choose to look at ourselves, our history, our life patterns and decide to make changes to the core of our being, we can begin the process of breaking free of chronic cycles of dysfunction.”
Rita and I would have you remember that nothing in our life is random. There is a reason you are born into a certain family and experience the patterns we have talked about today and no matter how daunting experiences may seem, with the unfolding of your inner soul wisdom you can find ways to improve anything and everything. Resilience, trust and love are the keys to your success and to living with resolve.

Life is messy. Yet, through many of the challenges we face, we often find our strength, our perseverance, and our resilience to overcome the difficult times.
Lawyer-turned-life coach Shari Leid chronicles dates and intimate conversations with her girlfriends, all centered around the question, What is the mess that became your message? “I spoke to 51 women who are actually in my life and I did this during the pandemic via Zoom,” Leid says. “I learned things about friends—even lifelong friends—that I had not known before. These conversations not only deepened our friendships but also became life-changing for me.”
In this episode, Shari and I discuss the importance of friendships, why we need to maintain them and Shari’s challenge to help us all deepen our relationships with our friends, The Make Your Mess Your Message Challenge. “Over the course of a year, meet with at least three people, one on one, including a life-long friend; a relative; and a new acquaintance or someone you’ve known for a while but have never shared a meal with,” she says. “This is something that everyone could do. I challenge you to meet with three people in your life to ask, What is the mess that became your message? ”Witness firsthand the miracles that unfold. I guarantee that you will not just learn something about your friend or relative that you had not known before; it will also deepen your relationship, and you will become keenly aware of how connected we all really are,” Shari says. “Recognizing how messy all of our lives are and seeing the purpose in the mess gives us the perspective that allows us to live a life filled with choice, freedom, and opportunity.”

Paddy Puzo didn’t want to get involved in civil rights and American revisionary politics, but a bizarre midnight taxi ride in the most dangerous part of Los Angeles abruptly catapults him into the wild and unpredictable world of Minorities, Inc.
After barely surviving his involuntary entry into the more hazardous side of civil rights, Puzo’s dysfunctional adventures take him to Washington, D.C., and subsequently, to a Pacific Island aptly referred to as The Island of Thieves, where his continuing confrontations with racial enlightenment finally led him to hiding from the CIA while working at a remote and dilapidated pig farm somewhere in the Philippines.

I wish you a happy, successful and, most of all, healthy 2022, dear listeners!
If I mention Michelangelo’s “David” to you, Dear Listeners, chances are that you will have this image in your mind: A statue of a young male that is well known world-wide beyond Florence, Italy. However, have you ever considered the work that went into creating this masterpiece? Or Michelangelo’s inspiration, patience and even obsession that was required to make this work reflecting the artist’s vision?
https://youtu.be/JD6QFga_xNg
In today’s episode, you can hear it firsthand about the artistic vision as my guest is Khalil Chishtee, an artist currently based in New York, and who grew up in Pakistan. Khalil is an internationally acclaimed artist whose art revolves around questioning the norms, and notions of living life in diverse cultures.
We talk about his upbringing in Pakistan and how that inspired him to use plastic bags as a material for his art, how our point of view changes over time and why his art sets him free. We talk about the form and the content and different layers that we shed off. It is a deep conversation that will resonate for a long time and make you reflect on identity, humanity and humility.
Tune in…
Welcome to Newsgram.
When a crime is committed we want justice. We want it swift and we want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. We have a system of laws that are there to make sure the proper punishment is rendered in accordance with the law. We’ve create penalties for criminal conduct and we seek to rehabilitate criminals through incarceration.
How often do you think about what happens beyond that. When the bars close. What is happening to the person locked up? We don’t really care right? I mean, the perpetrator has been dealt with and justice has been served but what about rehabilitation? Aren’t these people supposed to be punished to the degree that they will realize the error of their ways? Once educated, depending on the severity of their crimes, they are then rereleased back into society.
It’s a complicated issue.
I came across a book written by Ron Wilson that focuses on the system of Justice in Australia. It’s titled Joseph Akeroyd: Rediscovering a Prison Reformer and in it, he writes about a man who moved directly from the education system to become Inspector General of Victoria’s prison system between 1924 and 1947. Yea, he was there a long time and during his administration prison was run like a school.
Wilson (Prison like School) What happened in the way that prison education was managed in Victoria at that time was so different from other jurisdictions in Australia but also quite different from other jurisdictions in the world. Each prison was in fact a registered school. It was funded by the education department it was staffed by the same teachers delivering the same curriculum and programs that were happening in the much broader community.
So how did all this evolve? Ron set out to find the answers and he first had to understand who Joseph Akelroyd was.
Wilson (Principles of Teaching) He was a man who came into his role with the strong commitment to saying, as an educator using the principles in terms of education principles and the principles of teaching this is the way that prisons should be managed they should be managed on the principles of education and the principles of teaching.
Fundamentally people are put in jail to be punished for their crimes. That has always been the case but in order to reform these criminals Akelroyd chose to learn more about them.
Wilson (Look at the Man) Akelroyd , in his educational principles said, what we’re going to do is start to have a look at why these people are in prison . Look at the man, what’s the background, what’s happened to this man that he’s ended up in a prison environment.
He set about making important changes. He implemented a treatment based approach rather than a punitive one. But change never comes easy. The system of justice at the time required punishment for crimes committed. Punishments like whipping and hanging, and he was responsible for making sure that punishment took place. So where is the teaching moment?
Wilson (What did you Learn) He started to have conversations with criminals who were about the be whipped. He would have a conversation with them before the whipping, personally he would do this, and then after the whipping but he would ask the question, he’s got this recorded, he would ask, what did you learn from this experience? With those guys who are about to be hanged he would apply a similar sort of structure, now he couldn’t have the conversation with them after they’d been hanged but what he did do was have the conversations with other prisoners around saying, what did this experience with you being so close to a hanging, what did it tell you? What did you learn from that? So he would have those conversations.
Utilizing his education background, Joseph Akeroyd revolutionized the ways prisons and prisoners in Victoria were managed with lasting results. Many of his reforms are still around today.
I found this book interesting because it not only talks about Akeroyd’s educational approach but it does so by reflecting on stories of modern day interactions between teachers and prisoner students. There are all kinds of personal stories where Akeroyd interacted with infamous criminals that talk about thwarted escape plans, being wrongfully convicted and getting that conviction reversed or his recording of the final days of a man who was about to be hanged.
This book will get you thinking about crime and criminality. I remember back in college I was once assigned the task of writing a paper on how crime was necessary and important to society. Seems crazy right? It pushes and shapes our moral boundaries.
Justice and reforms are constantly changing and so is what we view as normal. Ron Wilson understands this and chose to focus on one of the pioneers in this type of thinking. His book Joseph Akeroyd: Rediscovering a Prison Reformer is a glimpse into education and prison management and one man’s inner conflict with reform techniques.
The book is available online at various places and there are links in the show notes. And, that will do it for this edition of Newgram.

Carl-Evert Jonsson.MD.PhD lives in the Stockholm area of Sweden, he spent most of his professional life working in medicine. Medicine is such a diverse field, and he chose to specialize in the area of reconstructive surgery, in particular treating burn injuries, both in the reconstructive and acute phases, as well as working in congenital malformations and post-traumatic injuries of the face and head. As an eminent surgeon he travelled the world working closely with other illustrious surgeons, but his main body of work and research was carried out in his native homeland and occasionally in Norway.
Right from a very early age Carl-Evert was dazzled, seduced so to speak to the world of captivating art and photography, something his teachers picked up upon actively encouraging him to pursue, channel his youthful energy. His joy of drawing, studying works of art as well as his passion for photography has stayed with him throughout his whole life and in his book, he shares significant moments with us through the camera lens.
If you want to see more of Carl-Evert’s work have a look at his website, www.cejart.se. And you can check out our video chat right here:
https://youtu.be/5BFSUWOUYHU
What strikes me the most about Carl-Evert’s body of work is the professionalism with which it has been carried out no doubt something he brought forth from his years of surgery, the careful skill of handling a scalpel, to the skill of the pencil in his drawings is very much in evidence as well as a sharp eye for accuracy and detail.
Carl-Evert on his many travels be it personal or work related would very often have about his personage a jotter pad, a box of colours and of course a camera, just in case something of interest caught his eye, compelling him to either draw it, or photograph it and no doubt on the odd occasion do both. Some of the photographs he has taken he has shared in this book. I particularly like the picture attached to Figure 18 it’s a self-portrait of a young boy taken in 1948, it is in fact a picture of Carl-Evert sitting at a desk drawing when he was twelve years old, he took the picture himself, now-a-days we call it a SELFIE.
Primarily the book is about the techniques Carl-Evert has used to develop and print his photographs. He talks about the methods for digitally printing photographs on Japanese paper Washi which is made from the inner fibres of three plants. He touches on the history of Washi, its eastern origins, he also talks about classic egg-oil painting techniques.
I have to say that it has been a wonderful experience talking to Carl-Evert about his life and his body of work that has been captured through his photography, drawings and paintings and how he has projected the images using ancient Japanese techniques.
This book Carl-Evert has put together is aimed as he says in his introduction at the enquiring photographer searching for new experimental ways to project their own photographical printing skills.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Kierra C.T. Banks
“Health is the new wealth!”
https://youtu.be/gFwuP8vCOs8
Check Out These Highlights:
My parents are 91 and 92 and in relatively good health given their ages. I believe that their good health is a result of them not taking any medications through the years. My sister is a pharmacist and sees people with varying levels of health in all age groups. She often tells my parents that not taking medication for every ailment they have had through the years is serving them well today.
I think as a society we have been raised to believe that when we get sick and go to the doctor, the doctor will provide the medicine necessary to help us feel better. Has this caused us to not be proactive in caring for our physical well-being?
Our health is our greatest asset, without it, we can’t build our business, raise our family, earn an income, live our purpose, and yet I think many of us have taken it for granted. Where do you fall within this topic?
The objective of today’s conversation is to inspire you to change your perspective on your health, stop accepting symptoms as normal, recognize that symptoms are your body talking to you, asking you to do something different, and my guest, Melissa Dealy, can help you get to the root cause of your health issue, and truly heal instead of masking symptoms with drugs.
About Melissa Deally:
Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner, Registered Health Coach, Speaker, and host of her “Don’t Wait for Your Wake Up Call!” podcast. Melissa’s business is 100% virtual and she specializes in holding your hand and guiding the way to healing so that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
Melissa has a 2-pronged approach to working with you that ensures we get to the root cause of your health issues, by using functional medicine lab tests that help you “see inside” your body to know exactly what is going on, and then we know exactly what to do about it!

Sheryl is delighted to welcome Kim Brown Seely, author of Uncharted, a journey across the water in a maritime adventure and a time in search of a new chapter in their relationship and life journey, as a couple facing the dreaded empty nest syndrome realize they need to rediscover who they are.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate insights allowing us to recognize that we are all indeed more than we appear to be and life is a journey to find an inner awareness of the great potential we have to evolve spiritually and expand our human and divine talents and gifts. It is in understanding the duality of life and in moving beyond fear and doubt that begins to explain the great opportunity we have in a physical reality to love and explore ourselves and the universe in its infinite potential.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Kim Brown Seely in a most beautifully articulate and detailed written story expressing the beauty of what she and her husband saw and experienced on a somewhat challenging two month boat trip exploring the remote islands off the coast of Seattle Washington and the adventure of her voyage from one life chapter to another involving this too-big sailboat, a narrow and unknown sea and an appetite to witness a mythical blonde bear that inhabits a remote rainforest opens her mind and heart to much more than the physical journey and goes within to discover some of the most meaningful recognitions of gratitude and love.
When asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person, place or event that might have shown her or others the lifestyle she would choose as an adult Kim immediately tells us of a happy family life and parents especially her mother encouraging her and her sister to explore their own interests and the world with courage and curiosity. She also mentions two aunts who were great travelers and who may have captured her attention and wanted to follow in their footsteps.
Kim tells us something of her family life with her husband Jeff and their two sons off to college and her fears as their youngest son was about to move across the country.
Kim says that the economy was in freefall and their jobs stagnant so they impulsively decided to buy a big broken sailboat learn how to sail it and head up through the Salish Sea and the Inside Passage to an expanse of untamed wilderness in search of the the elusive blond Kermode bear that lives in a secluded Northwest forest.
Kim writes, “Theirs was a journey of discovery into who they were as individuals and as a couple at an axial moment in their lives. It was a time of transience: one son in college, another on his way; our small family, after years of intense and close living, was dispersing. Also, my husband had survived a recent cancer scare. We were suddenly acutely aware of the impermanence of things and imagined a sailing adventure would create space in which to share something true and lasting together. After a decade of the roller coaster of working hard and raising a family, my husband and I hoped we’d come to rest for a few weeks at sea. (How little did we know.)
Sheryl says that it is clear to her that Kim and her husband were both seekers of the truth of who we are as a life force and soul being and had the courage to venture out of our comfort zone. I think it is extraordinary to become a soul seeker in such an adventuresome way. I myself did much the same these past twenty five years but in the mind and heart journey rather than the physical, although in seeking for the truth of our being I did travel to many fabulous places such as Greece Italy Spain England Alaska Canada many islands and many awe inspiring beautiful or historical places In the United States.
Kim tells us of a story she wrote of a sailor she had met at a dinner; he was ferrying a well-known National Geographic photographer to a rarely visited part of British Columbia’s coast to shoot wildlife photos came out a year later, you were slayed: on the cover of National Geographic there was an image of a white bear. There was something strange about the bear: it had fur the color of a yellow Lab. Even though it was a white bear or so-called spirit bear, it wasn’t Arctic white like a polar bear, nor was it cinnamon brown like a grizzly. It was some weird vanilla-white in between.
“What’s that?” “A spirit bear,” Kim told her husband, she would love to see this mystical animal in the wilds where it lived.
The spirit bear, she later learned, was, in fact, a black bear born with a double-recessive gene causing white fur. It was a walking contradiction: a white black bear. Also known as the Kermode bear, it was rare—more rare than the giant panda. She pictured fur and forest, rain and sea; bold explorers sailing off to distant wilderness islands and hiking through giant trees; Paul Nicklen, the National Geographic photographer, waiting in the woods for days and then weeks until the singular moment when he came upon this strange creature climbing a cedar.
Kim actually got an endorsement for her book from Paul Nicklen who she admired and actually got to meet him
“Uncharted is a voyage of adventure but at it’s heart a meditation on the changing nature of love.’ Tell us something of that thought that Leslie T. Sharpe wrote in the review she wrote for your book
Sheryl thinks the passage below that Kim wrote shows much about the changing nature and continuing nature of love and family from her own childhood and family to the family she created as an adult.
Kim wrote, “My family wasn’t religious, but I had a hunch about God. The mountains seemed created for our worship. There were high granite peaks, an expansive sky, and cottony white clouds. Each day was long and hard and grand. Stitched together, the hiking days made a sort of pilgrimage. Even during the drive to a distant trailhead, I felt like I was exactly where I wanted to be: perched between my young parents and gazing out the window to take everything in, my strong-willed little sister played on the bench in the back. The road stretched endlessly ahead of us and behind us, so we were suspended in time and place as well. I liked moving through that expansive landscape. I liked the feeling of being between one place and another. As the towns spread farther apart, the sense of time diminished, and we each became lost in a mythical landscape that was as much internal as it was external. We were a family. When you are a child learning the world, your parents help shape your perceptions. When you are a parent introducing your own children to the world, you discover those perceptions—things you had almost forgotten—resurfacing, as if hardwired to your DNA. These memories in me of our family’s wandering through the West were so deep that as soon as my own boys were old enough, all I wanted to do was take them exploring. Luckily, my husband was willing to come along.”
Kim having worked on both coasts and as a senior editor at Travel and Leisure magazine and contributing editor at National Geographic Adventure you have traveled to more than thirty countries tells us what she may have learned of human nature and the spirit of the soul that gives it a life force capacity to survive all challenges.
Perhaps part of the harrowing experiences surrounding the empty nest syndrome began as she observed what was happening to other people you knew. Kim wrote,” Ever since our friends’ kids had begun heading off, I’d been noticing the ways many of those friends’ lives shape-shifted. It seemed to be a time when fierce, almost biological empty-nesting patterns emerged. Downsizing—putting the family home on the market and moving into a simpler, smaller place—was a familiar refrain. Another common trend was getting a new dog to fill the void. But that wasn’t always a shared project; the wives seemed to do most of the dog walking. As I watched my friends downsize, simplifying their nests; or stay in their homes but spend the next years refinishing the floors; or troll rescue-dog sites, looking for abandoned canines to love and be loved by and fill those empty rooms, I began to wonder if unknown to ourselves, we each had an image buried somewhere deep inside that was a new chapter, an image that outwardly was of a place or a thing but was actually of ourselves. Maybe it was ourselves, our new selves, that we were attempting to define as we cleaned out our drawers, and repainted our children’s rooms, and adopted yellow Labs and bigeared collies and mixed retrievers.
After the journey Kim and Jeff’s appreciation of each other and life in general was definitely altered. Perhaps the following passage shows some of the challenges you and Jeff were dealing with, “Jeff shot up, released a line, and we slammed the boat hard to windward, coming about. I let out my breath, stunned. We were alone together and had courted this chaos. We were grown-ups and people’s parents. We’d raised two sons together, battled cancer together, and lived on both coasts of North America together. When our sons left home, we’d found ourselves on one of those coasts with a window of time, and so we’d launched ourselves into it. But now, with a boat whose moods changed as mercurially as our own, we were wrestling with forces larger than ourselves, and sometimes, paying a price.”
Sheryl says… I would gather you had discovered that while we have no control over the events or challenges in our life as they present themselves, one after another, but we do have the power to choose what will help us deal to the best of our ability and in the best way so we may grow and have greater compassion for each other and the cycles of life
Kim shares hand drawn maps of the area they explored. Our plan was to head north, threading through Washington State’s San Juan Islands and British Columbia’s Gulf Islands up the Inside Passage through the many archipelagos, then sail past the northern tip of Vancouver Island, and on up around Cape Caution to the wild, exposed Spider Islands. We would sail farther still to the seldom-visited native settlements of Bella Bella and Klemtu, then continue to the native village of Hartley Bay and neighboring Gribbell Island. The latter was one of the homes of the elusive spirit bear. We’d circumnavigate Gribbell Island, about a hundred miles south of the Alaska border, then point Heron south and head home again, another five hundred nautical miles, in mid-September. We’d be one of the last cruising boats that far north come fall. The days would be turning colder and growing shorter, the Pacific Northwest Coast’s fog settling into the long sinuous fjords, making navigation in an area notorious for challenging navigation even trickier.
It seems that the family you and your children and parents benefited from this adventurous trip you embarked on.
Sheryl thinks it may have helped Kim refocus on what her mother went through when life changed for her and your family when you left the nest all those years before and Kim wrote, “ We were having lunch near my office in midtown Manhattan, where I’d worked for a decade. My mother was visiting from California. I was suddenly flooded with guilt: I’d never even thought about how it had been for my parents once I’d left for college. “You were away at school, and we missed you but didn’t want to bother you—you were a freshman!” my mom said, as if that explained everything. She took a sip of water, refolded her napkin. “But by the time your sister left for college, I realized I’d fallen into a kind of depression.” “You did? Why didn’t you ever say anything?!” Kim learned more about her mother’s experience and it helped her understand her own more fully.
“Well, that’s why I’m telling you now . . . in case you ever feel like you might be dealing with depression,” she said, smiling brightly. “Well, how are you? Are you okay now?” I was stunned. I had a hundred questions . . . Like many young girls growing up in the 1960s and ’70s, my sister and I had been encouraged to follow our dreams—to be whatever we wanted to be. Our parents had always pushed us to excel, to be independent, to venture as far from home as possible. Also, our parents were young. They were hip. I was proud of them, and it had never occurred to me, even remotely, that in pleasing them we were hurting them—and that my mom, especially, would so fiercely, deeply miss us.
Another thing Kim had noticed, watching her parents’ generation, was divorce. It was as if kids had been magnets holding these couples together—almost like they’d mostly stayed together because of their kids. But once children no longer factored into the equation, legions of seventies parents woke up and discovered they didn’t have that much in common. You could count the couples splitting up along the Southern California cul-de-sacs where we’d grown up. Spring! Spring! Spring! They bounced apart like atoms released from ionic bonds; without those kid-fusing electrons, there wasn’t much to fuse them in place. But my parents stayed together, supportive of each other. I suppose it was with this in mind then—wary of depression, watching divorces still springing up, as rampant as gray hairs, hearing girlfriends say, “I feel like everyone’s leaving! Our kids are leaving, our parents are leaving!”—that I’d hit on the vague idea of some kind of shared project, something my husband and I could take up together as novice empty nesters.
Kim tells how after a harrowing day on the sea she felt very emotional and like she could do nothing right and her son took a picture after Jeff and she had been screaming at each other and she wrote,” It stuns me now to see this portrait: the image, in fact, that graces the leather-bound cover of the book we made in the months after that first trip. You see a smiling couple in a postcard setting. What you don’t see are the invisible currents and blustery seas we’d just waded into. It’s strange, how we capture so many family moments this way: squeeze people into a frame and click the photo. It’s our way of making memories. But what you rarely see in so many family portraits is what’s actually happening. And what a shame! The stuff we lash down—the painful parts, messy as sea slime and scary as eels—is, in retrospect, more real.
I think Kim might like us to remember after reading Uncharted I not merely the boat journey but how her understanding and spirit matured during the many moves and changes in her life and she wrote something very wise, “Decades later my understanding would shift, part of growing into adulthood, and I’d remember the farm as a key chapter, but an odd chapter for someone who craved a less settled existence. I’d think of all the choices that go into making a life—the decisions people make, individual and combined. Drops of water, incalculable, collecting in a pool. It takes years sometimes to recognize when it’s time to make a few ripples. My husband loved the house. But we were also trapped by it and could never afford to do the things needed to maintain it. When a job opportunity in Seattle offered to move us all west in the dot-com 1990s, we packed up our apartment, sold the farm, and threw a massive goodbye party for our friends. We knew almost no one in Seattle but started a new chapter there. One of the art directors at the magazine where I worked in Midtown Manhattan said to me on my way out the door: “It’s a healthy thing to repot yourself every few years.” I prayed he was right.
I want to thank Kim Brown Seely, author of Uncharted an adventure story of physical spiritual and emotional substance that shares the beauty of love nature and spirit as we grow in amazing recognition of our capacity to explore life in an open hearted and loving way and if it is in your nature an adventuresome way. Please read this well written and delightfully descriptive journey of a trip into forever. go to www.kimbrownseely.com
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within with Kim Brown Seely we have enjoyed delightful views of life from the beginning within our parents homes then college friendships marriage children careers building homes and friendships exploring the terrain and our dreams in mind and body but ultimately realizing that the greatest adventure lies within the courageous soul journey that leads us through coincidence synchronicity and perhaps the whispers of those above who lead us to our greatest moments of self-awareness and higher consciousness. We remember as Kim and Jeff did that we have free will and as has been afforded to many of us in this country we have the means to discover what brings us joy and happiness in our journeys within our thoughts and dreams and also in the physical world of beauty and change—eternal change. If we move past fears and restrictions and allow opportunities to appear we can have amazing lives and experiences and live beginning to be grateful for the time we have and the oddities or protection from unseen places that can even save lives. Kim wrote of an amazing event she observed in regard to how sometimes things seem wrong but in the end are just as they should be.
Kim wrote, “But we did have luck. Jeff worked on the sixty-second floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center. And on the day of the first bombing, the 1993 truck bombing, he was not in the tower because he was in Vermont. We’d snuck away for a long winter weekend. He was on a pay phone, checking in with his boss, when a twelve-hundred-pound truck-bomb detonated in the parking garage beneath the towers. His boss, who’d been headed down to the garage when Jeff called, heard a muffled thud and said, “Hang on a minute.” No one knew yet what had happened. The call ran late, which spared Jeff’s boss from being in his SUV at that exact moment, as planned. Months later, when they identified pieces of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, they determined it had been less than a hundred feet from the blast.
Often I tell my clients as a medium I am aware we have a time to be born and a time to reach beyond this physical life to rejoin life beyond this physical plane in an energetic and eternal life. Often, if it is for the journey of a soul to avoid a certain event, they are in one way or another divinely helped to be safe. My own son was offered a job in a business with offices in Twin Towers but declined and was in his jeep traveling across the country to California when 9/11 happened. So many stories of people who should have been there that day but were not for that was not their time nor destiny.
Kim and I would love our guests to know the precious nature of each life and each adventure we are called to experience. Say “Yes” to life and say “Yes” to Love and no matter what challenge any of us must go through if we remember we are spiritual beings having a physical life and never alone, but guided by the majestic voice of the universe that encourages each of us to find a path to exploring our inner soul wisdom through following our dreams as we walk through the experiences of daily life with a smile and a hope for finding our true nature joy and love.
Today’s Guest

Here we are at the end of another year, which seemed to somehow go both slow and fast at the same time. How that happens, I will never know.
In this episode, I do a short recap of some of the bigger things I was both surprised by and proud of in 2021 on a personal level. I think you will find that you have some of the same when you look back over the past year.
I also share my experience of free-falling, or letting go of control, and making the decision to not have all the answers but still move ahead anyway. And surprisingly, I’ve found relief in that!
https://www.bitchute.com/video/JS5F9lGx5Ke4/
You’ll hear about some easy things you can do to leave the old behind (like really easy, some just take a minute or two) and also some suggestions on how to get clear on what you want to bring in for the new year. Instead of focusing on the “things”, what if we focused on ourselves first? And by ourselves, I mean our energetic self and lining up with that first?
My intention with this episode is to help you think out of the typical “new year’s resolutions” box and set (and then be able to stand) in meaningful intentions. If you are looking for some ideas on setting your intentions, be sure to get your free copy of My Personal Awakening Map to get you on the right path!

- How to Create a Client Attracting Brand
Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by – Jeff Bezos
“A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn a reputation by trying to do hard things well.”
https://youtu.be/BC3hDtVa928
Check Out These Highlights:
I am fascinated as I observe the power of businesses with a clear brand and how they are able to attract the right people into their community.
Being in business for 20 years my brand was outdated and needed a facelift, to say the least. I had to vet multiple branding experts before choosing the right fit for me. As a business owner, it is so hard to stay on top of everything we need to do to promote and support our business growth. So what do we do and how do we stay relevant and on-brand?

Join me in a mindful discussion about what happens after a life-changing event. It seems that a life-changing event causes us to move from a state of ambivalence to a state of movement towards transition.
The goal is to approach our discussion with acceptance and non-judgment. During life-changing events, we concentrate on areas of the body scan to release any guarding, pressure, or stress. When we practice mindfulness meditation and relaxation, it takes a lot of practice to bring ourselves to a point where we are thinking about a scan of our body resulting from the reaction of circumstance that transforms our lives.
Life-changing events seem to take our attention to the point of “where do I go from here.” Many people express that they find out what is essential and grow past their limitations. In this episode, I share a personal tip to use each day to help reflect and transform the inner self into a place of peaceful transition.
What is it like going from struggling but not knowing why to discovering why so much of your life didn’t go well to success in so many ways? If you have ADHD and know it, many of these shows will be familiar. If you think you may have ADHD and the journeys of the 2 people presented in the next 2 shows sound familiar, all too familiar, see an expert for an evaluation. Starting treatment for your ADHD will (with high probability, like 90%) change your life.
This is the first of two shows about two people and their lives before and after their ADHD diagnosis and treatment. One is an ADHD Coach and man with a passion for helping everyone (yes even neurotypicals) understand ADHD and those with ADHD to succeed in life. The other is a patient of mine, a woman whose life turned around when she decided to treat her ADHD, a diagnosis made when she was a child but whose parents “did not want me to take speed”. (myth often held by neurotypicals, prescription stimulants are like street drugs and will ruin your life. WRONG.)
Join me in getting an inside look at how 2 lives changed with diagnosis, treatment, and acceptance of the challenges of having ADHD. The first show features my patient Alyxx (they/them). How are they meeting those challenges now? Listen and learn!

One of the many treasures Mother Earth had bestowed upon us are gemstones. She patiently shapes and forms these precious mineral crystals for thousands – even millions – of years until they have the right colour and density. We humans have always had a deep appreciation with all gemstones – there are over 200 varieties – but especially with the four “precious stones”: diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies. Depending on their shape, size and quality, we express our status and wealth using gemstones on personal jewelry and also religious or ceremonial objects – even weapons. Wherever used, they cause awe, admiration, or envy.
This Conversation with Mother Earth will not just focus on our longtime fascination with gemstones. Rather, we will “unearth” one more reason to value gems and that is the hard and hazardous effort it takes to allow our precious relationship with gems to continue.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQc3LZoI0YI&feature=youtu.be
My guest in this episode, Andrew Lucas, has visited numerous gem extraction sites worldwide in countries such as Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Mozambique, and Zambia. We filmed this episode face-to-face with Andrew, as he also presently lives in Shenzhen, China where he is the President of Guild Institute of Gemology and the Senior Vice President of Guild Gem Laboratories.
In this conversation that goes deep – in the real sense of the word – Andrew shares his fascination with gemstones and his incredible breadth of experience with gemstones. He describes sustainable practices of gem extraction and refining. However, he does not mask some human exploitation events still happening in different parts of the world.
Andrew also shares his favorite gems, which might not be easy, considering the length of his experience. In the end, we both agree though that Mother Earth is our most precious gem.
Tune in…
Anthony Adams grew up on the outskirts of Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania in the USA. He was brought up within the traditions of Catholicism and like most members of the church he found himself at times questioning was this religious pathway befitting to how he sees a person should follow the Lord’s teachings. Anthony has probed, explored into other religious views and while he currently doesn’t adhere to one particular church’s ideologies and ways, he still has a deep faith in God, albeit a lose faith, nevertheless a faith that has seen him through difficult times and given him the inner strength to be a single parent to his children who are now in their twenties and older. To support his family Anthony has had to work hard and very often like now holding down two jobs to put food on the table, Anthony presently works as a Janitor in a local hospital as well as being an accomplished bartender.

The Book of Revelations which occupies a central place in Christian eschatology is also called the Apocalypse of John, Revelation to John or Revelation from Jesus Christ and is the final book of the New Testament and consequently the final book of the Christian bible. The notion to openly talk about the inner workings of this complex but engaging last book of the bible in the form of his own book began as far back as 2004, so it would be fair enough to say Anthony has given some serious thought as to how he wanted to present his views and get his message out.
When you read Anthony’s book, you’ll discover not only how exquisitely well written it is, but the detail and relevance to the cross-referencing of other scriptural citations in both the Old and New Testaments. But what was beholding for me was the way Anthony has set about explaining the meaning behind the scriptural passages, words.
You would be forgiven if you thought that this book was solely about Revelations, Anthony touches on the history of the Papacy, the thinking behind infallibility, the significance of the Church of Ephesus, the key points of some religions, the importance of the number seven referencing to the seven churches, the seven stars, the seven golden candlesticks and of course on the seventh day God rested after overseeing his creation of the world. Anthony touches upon the Apostle John’s exile by the Romans to the Aegean Island of Patmos where it is said he wrote Revelations.
This is a very well thought-out book and will appeal to those discerning readers who love history particularly biblical history, factual writings that make you think and want to do your own explorative research to see what drove Anthony to write this brilliant and absorbing book.

Hang out with me while we chat brunch “boards”, the best Christmas cookie, why stollen is too much work IMO, and my reflections on the last year.
How many of you feel like you are living a fake life? Like you’ve awakened to things that no longer serve you and the life you are living is not you. Maybe it’s the job, the relationship or ____ (fill in the blank) with whatever you are unhappy with. Once we recognize and awaken to this dissatisfaction, we can no longer avoid it. As much as you may want to push it away, it can’t be unseen!
My guest this week is Makhosi Nejeser, known as The Royal Shaman. Makhosi and I have a very expansive conversation about stepping out of what is fake and no longer fulfilling and into a life of authenticity, fulfillment and freedom. Makhosi has such an interesting and inspiring story of leaving a life of what could have been called the definition of success and really stepping into the authentic version of herself. She was led from being a doctor, to working at Target to become a Pure Romance top seller to specializing in personal development and energetic alignment as The Royal Shaman.

Welcome to Healing From Within I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Energy Teacher Medium and author of my newest book A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening sharing a plan for creating through your thoughts and actions new approaches for living out the duality of soul and physical life in its most advantageous possibilities supporting life here and beyond. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Dr. Eben Alexander author of his newest book Living In A Mindful Universe and a former guest of the Healing From Within as we continue to focus on his journey to tap into our greater mind and the power of our heart to enhance healing relationships creativity and all understand Universal aspects of life.
For those listeners who would like to listen to the show Dr. Alexander and I shared previously go to my website www.sherylglick.com and listen as we discuss his near death experience shared in his first book Proof of Heaven. Go to the radio page July 2013. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were discussing your visit to the afterlife during a near death experience.
As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate experiences and the realization that we are very much more than we appear to be and are only using a small part of our brain mind power to create the world of opportunities that exist within our soul or energetic presence. It is in understanding the duality of life and the opposite choices always available to us, that we learn balance harmony and ways to achieve a purposeful healthy life experience. But we often have to let go of beliefs and stories of past events in order to see life with new perspective.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Dr. Eben Alexander an academic neurosurgeon dealing with patients rendered comatose by trauma, brain tumors, ruptured aneurysms, infections or strokes thought he had a good idea of how the brain generates consciousness but now after a near death experience himself is able to offer a more comprehensive worldview where consciousness is the glue that defines reality itself and shatters conventional boundaries that traditionally separated science from spirituality. In other words, we need to learn how to be mindful and live in a mindful universe and the time is definitely NOW as challenging world events pandemic war environmental issues disease are giving us the experiences to awaken to our full soul potential to evol.
When Dr. Alexander is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that may have left an impression of some importance on his heart or mind and led him to the lifestyle work or interests he is exploring now as an adult the first person who comes to his mind is his father. His father was a doctor and used to take him with him to see patients and Eben was able to see how much he was helping people and wanted to do the same. Sheryl tells Eben that she believes healers are born not made and select the family they need to fulfill their soul mission or life plan. Dr. Alexander was adopted and into the family and experience that would be most advantageous for his soul development.
We fast to Dr. Alexander’s NDE and talk about the realms he visited during that life altering experience. Dr. Alexander tells us he saw a beautiful young woman who he never knew in his life and later after he recovered he received a picture from his birth family of his sister who had passed and it was the beautiful person he had seen in spirit. He said if he had seen his father it could have been because he knew him in life and it wouldn’t be as defining and compelling as having met his birth sister who he never knew until meeting her in the Afterlife.
How common are Near Death Experiences and how was yours the same or different than other people’s NDE’s? Dr. Alexander tells us he recorded his remembrances after coming out of the coma and the memories of the deep coma experience have remained stable and clear even to this day which he understands many people who have near death experiences describe. He came to realize my ordeal could be termed a near-death experience NDE and began to learn more about such experiences. One of the first resources encountered was Life After Life Dr. Raymond Moody’s world changing 1975 book that first popularized the term “near-death experience.” The loving comfort encountered by most of the hundred or so patients Dr. Moody documented resonated deeply with Dr. Alexanders experience. They were all confounded by the limitations of earthly language to describe such nonearthly journeys. Another characteristic of NDE experiences is that they remained consistent and stable over long periods of time unlike memories of most events dreams and hallucinations The other main quality of NDE descriptions concerns the sense of ultrareality. Way to real to be real such a heightened sense of reality.
Perhaps Dr. Alexander was able to prove to himself that the experience was real and not a result of the dying brain because of the kindness and knowingness of his friend Dr. Charles Joseph who expressed to you, “There is plenty of room in our understanding of the brain, and mind and consciousness to allow for this remarkable recovery to indicate something of extreme importance. As you well know, we encounter copious evidence in clinical neurology that we have a far way to go before we can start claiming any kind of complete understanding. I am inclined to accept your personal mystery as another lovely piece of the puzzle, one that greatly raises the ante in approaching any understanding of the nature of our existence.” My friend was open to the grand possibilities of eternal life implied by my memories from deep in a coma where I should not have been able to experience anything due to the damage to my brain besieged and swollen with infection.
Sheryl says I think Eben found after his near-death experience he had a need to be connected to people of faith who supported his spiritual experience such as his friend Alan who he had worked with and climbed mountains with. He had written a book The Scalpel and the Soul: Encounters with Surgery, the Supernatural and the Healing Power of Hope. Given his prestigious academic appointments, it seemed he had gained the courage that so many lacked to open the doors wide to the reality of our spiritual nature.
Sheryl remembers being at a lecture with Dr. Raymond Moody author of Life After Life and hearing him say that scientifically he could not definitively conclude that life or consciousness survived physical life though his book was all about that reality. At the end of the lecture Sheryl went up and was a bit harsh when she said to him, “ I am a medium and am trying to prove like you the soul nature of our life and am disappointed you didn’t definitively state your belief that Consciousness survives death.. Dr. Moody was very kind to me and told me his wife’s name was Sheryl also and a few years later I read a new book by him where he quite powerfully stated the truth of our knowingness. I invited him as one of the first guests on my show Healing From Within when I started ten years ago and he was kind enough to join me as have so many of the gifted and distinguished seekers of truth have.
You know Eben as a medium who meditates and gets accurate information that helps clients validate what’s happening in their lives and offers ways to remember their soul life, I often think how happy I am that I didn’t have to have a near death experience to awaken to the reality of dimensions and layers of life beyond this world. But maybe 26 years ago when I was sick with the flu and had what I thought was a dream feeling my grandfather standing near me and telling me I had to write something for my dad and then the very next day found out my dad had passed led me to question how my deceased grandfather gone for 35 years or so was there to give me a message. That began my journey to understand if consciousness survived physical death and my development as an energy healer, medium, hospice volunteer. Who knows, maybe that was like a NDE even though I wasn’t as close to death as you or others.
Sheryl says… True healing is a combination of mind body spirit not merely the physical symptoms of the mind. Our soul has journeyed through time and space and multi- dimensional realities of life gathering experiences both good and bad and needs to refine our soul energy healing karma from past lives and relationships to a higher level of love and cooperation. We have many guides both in Spirit and in the physical world who offer assistance and insight if we become open to the many possibilities of soul life and wisdom beyond an ego- based mind set of physical reality.
What is consciousness, nonlocal consciousness and what is the brain’s role in consciousness?
Dr. Alexander wrote,” In essence we tried to explain my memories during coma based on the common assumption that the brain is required for any type of conscious awareness. Over almost three decades of my life spent working daily with neurosurgical patients, I had come to believe I had some understanding of the relationship of the relationship between brain and mind –the nature of consciousness. Modern neuroscience has come to believe that all of our human qualities of language reason thought auditory and visual perceptions emotional forces etc. —essentially all the qualities of mental experience that become part of human awareness —are directly derived from the most powerful calculator in the human brain: the neocortex.
But having accepted this how could it be that when my brain was not functional my consciousness and awareness of Self was interacting with other forces and remembering it all….
Dr. Alexander writes We know lots about the mechanics of the brain right down to the molecular level, but when it comes to consciousness,\ we simply haven’t got a clue. How might the physical matter of the brain give rise to the conscious mind.
Sheryl says years ago she interviewed Dr. Maurie Pressman author of Living In the SuperMind who was aware of the power of our spiritual soul energy to influence our physical body and reality. The brain he suggested in simple terms was the physical organ to connect to physical life and reality and the mind was an energy connected to dimensions of eternal levels of live and creation. So while your physical brain was not functioning during that severe attack of meningitis your super mind was what allowed you to have that vivid afterlife experience and bring it back with you after you recovered. While that is a simple definition perhaps of the mind and brain it does express our connection to energetic soul life and God or the Divine. A conventionally-trained psychiatrist, Dr. Pressman has combined that work with studies in the high reaches of the mind. His practice focuses on spiritual psychotherapy and the exploration of the human soul.
Dr. Alexander tells us about Carl Sagan an American Astronomer who said Science is not only compatible with spirituality: it is a profound source of spirituality Dr. Alexander goes on to tell us that Dr. Raymond Moody had studied ancient Greek philosophy and the writings of Plato and learned about the case of Er an Armenian soldier killed in battle who was placed on a funeral pyre. Just before its ignition he returned to life and told the soldiers that when one dies they proceed through a review of the most crucial aspects of their life as a lesson of sorts-the “Life Review” and that the most important quality by which they are judged concerns the love they have managed to manifest while here on earth. We learn the brain does not create consciousness and the mind (spirit or universal energy or source) and mental experience are the fundamental essence of all existence: the mind has the complete power over matter and our free will has tremendous capacity to change the world.
About Mindfulness and Living in a Mindful Universe shares the importance of “spiritual health?”
Sheryl says that in her new book A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening we come to realize that as we merge our duality or awareness of spiritual and physical life we become healthier and happier beings. Sheryl wrote, I was not aware that in the deep, hidden recesses of my subconscious mind, the truth lay dormant waiting to be proven to me: “There was no death, only a return to life beyond here.” However, if dying is a concern of yours, I hope that what you read in the following pages of this book will allow you to remember that part of yourself, that soul essence, which may have gone unexamined for some time or may have been damaged or tarnished by the well-meaning people around you who may also have forgotten their true divine essence. It is my hope that you may retrieve a ‘knowingness’ of your soul essence that experiences peace, love, compassion, and a fluid movement through time and space eternally, allowing you to enjoy both a physical life today and “existence” beyond this physical life tomorrow. What you may well discover if you keep an open mind is how to live vibrantly in the two realms of life: the physical and the spiritual.”
Sheryl says there is duality or choices so that we can find balance and harmony through our choices Suffering comes when we are unable to accept the nature of a physical world and life. Everything in a physical world is transitory and must have a beginning and ending. People are afraid of change death and what they cannot control which is everything except the choices they make when they confront difficulty. We must experience all the emotions and feel them not numb ourselves to life. Once we know these emotions, we can begin to move from that feeling of discontent unhappiness or pain to a higher emotion of feeling at peace with oneself or feel gratitude or love as often as we allow ourselves to. All experiences are this dance from pain or suffering to a higher feeling or emotion and in every event every human wish to be in those higher feelings. It takes effort consistency and patience to achieve this level of dealing with all challenges good or bad.
We thank Dr. Eben Alexander author of his newest book Living in a Mindful Universe for dedicating himself to sharing information about near-death experiences and other spiritually transformative experiences and what they teach us about consciousness and the nature of reality. Like myself, and the hundreds of authors who have shared their spiritual awakening, we hope for research on the unifying elements of science and spirituality and for everyone to be inspired by the power within their soul life to refine love and compassion and spread of filter it out into the world.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we have shared multiple stories of scientists philosophers healers and visionaries as we move beyond the limitations of our physical world belief systems to discover the truth of BEING and existing as eternal sources of divine energy and creation to understand the brain, Near death experiences, and the mind or universal source of creative energy that is within and around us and which connects to all life eternally.
Dr. Alexander writes that Materialist science as a foundation for comprehending our reality is at a dead end. We are long overdue to rise above this façade, and this demands the robust incorporation of consciousness into our working model of the universe. A convergence of understanding about our approach to science our universe and ourselves is the only way forward. For those with the most open minds, this is where science finds itself now, in the 21st century, as it finally comes closer to understanding the depths of the mind body debate.
Eben and I would simply have you awaken to the full awareness of your spiritual or soul life force and your physical reality so you many know we are all so very much more than this physical life. By working to conquer the fear of death you may come to realize that the Afterlife and all we love in this life is contained within the mind and soul of our life force and journey’s past death to realms of infinite beauty and love.
Eben and I were methodical proponents of the scientific community which demands proof of the unseen aspects of life and perhaps, even skeptics before having experiences that opened our awareness to new perspectives of life and energy. We have been fortunate enough to have had these experiences and wish to share an awe inspiring reality with those who will allow themselves to know the world and universe beyond beliefs or opinions and truly experience and feel the truth.

Join me as I do a mindfulness book review on a beautiful children’s picture book, “The Very Impatient Caterpillar” by Ross Burach(a Scholastic book author). When life challenges us, there is an expected period of ambivalence and an expected period of questioning ourselves when faced with life-changing events.
As a result, we may begin to use negative words such as “can’t or don’t. ” I think it’s important at that time that we are aware we are using those words. Being open to review our mindset and recognize we may be building our barrier. At that point is a time to take a breath and ask ourselves, Is it time for a new approach? When we try to fly without our wings fully developed, we must be willing and open to start again.

Today’s topic will surprise you as you probably won’t have expected this subject. However, you will see that there is again a deep connection with Mother Earth.
In this episode, we are covering the subject of tattoos.
Yes, tattoos!
While researching about New Zealand, I discovered the deeply-rooted tradition of tattoos within the Māori people. Going deeper, I discovered that there is a big difference between, for example, Polynesian and Māori tattoos. After more reading I then discovered I wanted to know much more!
This is why I reached out to Tattoo Tribes and Roberto Gemori agreed to join me.
https://youtu.be/Jsp4wsWoa6E
Roberto has been designing tattoos professionally for almost two decades. He, like myself, has always been fascinated by myths and legends from around the world, as they often reveal the soul of a culture much better than its historical records. Among all of the arts, tattooing in particular is one that remains true to the roots of people. This is especially the case in Polynesia, where it is deeply related and interconnected to everyday life.
We talk about his motivation to research traditional tattoos and the difference between Polynesian and Māori tattoos. Roberto shares with us how the deep the connection between Mother Earth and tattoos is expressed, what role the community plays in this picture and where the traditional cultures got their ink from.
Mother Earth is an inspiration for many art forms, even the permanent ones that adore our bodies. You will see that this episode will definitely leave a deep impression on you.

Shinete Maunze was born into a small rural community in the Kwekwe district, Midland Province of Zimbabwe. Its an area of mixed Shona and Ndebele people, people who are not adverse to dealing with ancient traditions of witchcraft and the custom rituals that encompasses that occultism. Shinete converted to Christianity, a faith that is close to her heart, a faith however that has brought her into hostile friction with other members of her family who don’t hold her religious beliefs with the same fortitude as she does, opting to put their trust in the native occult practises of witchcraft stemming from their Zimbabwean roots. Today Shinete lives in Essex not far from London in the UK, with her husband, she’s a science teacher to secondary school students.
https://youtu.be/-CvDnKCbfbA
This is an emotive book that at times Shinete found difficult to write as it’s deeply personal, for it’s a book about the family conflicts that have engulfed the lives of several members of her family. At the heart of the family woes lies the contrasting beliefs of Christianity, the Catholic Church teachings, and necromantical trust of witchcraft sorcery that is endemically woven into the traditions of many African societies.
The characters of Gloria, Lizzie, Meg, Charlie, Juliet, Chanel and Cohen are wonderfully portrayed and how Shinete has managed to knit them altogether in what I can only describe as an eye-opening book is a credit to her literary skills. The unexplained deaths, ritual murders add to the intenseness of the plot.
The book is peppered with scriptural references which Shinete has skilfully managed to strengthen her own spiritual beliefs over those of what she sees as ill-judged sorcery ways, ways that some of her family have adopted which has led to all the divisive tensions raging within her family. At the nub of this book persists differing opinions around Christian views and occultism rooted in witchcraft with its sorcery and mystery.
Whatever your views are surrounding these historic beliefs have a read of this fascinating book to see what Shinete has to say.

“New York was the spell, the impetus of making it work. We were three young men and we came to New York to seek fame and fortune. We turned out to be the toast of the town, at least on the East Side.” Stephen Bruce
Serendipity3 is a place of celebrating delicious milestones with family and friends while savoring an omelette and sipping a Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. This iconic restaurant recently celebrated 67 years, a rare honor in New York City. Very few restaurateurs can say that James Beard taught them how to cook in the James Beard House. Stephen Bruce, a founder of Serendipity3 shares how America’s First Foodie taught him along with his co-founders, Patch Caradine and Calvin Holt how to make an omelette. Stephen Bruce attributes James Beard for helping create the popular menu staple, Caviar and Sour Cream Omelette served at Serendipity3.
During this special Kitchen Chat, Stephen returns to the James Beard House for the first time in over 67 years and reminisces about his weeklong cooking lessons with James Beard. Stephen was one of my first guests on Kitchen Chat many years ago, and I have always wanted to capture his compelling story on camera. He is dashing, gracious, stylish and charming.

- Stephen Bruce and Margaret McSweeney at the James Beard House
After the James Beard House, we went to Serendipity3. Seated upstairs in the newly decorated restaurant, Stephen shared amazing memories about some of the celebrity guests including Cher, Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Onassis, Gloria Vanderbilt and many others. How special to see the sketches that Andy Warhol had done for Stephen at the restaurant. Stephen and Andy were great friends, and Serendipity3 was a place of inspiration for this artist. Many film scenes have taken place at Serendipity3, and Stephen even has a cameo in the Serendipity movie.
Andy Warhol in front of Serendipity3 Fashion also played a key role at Serendipity3. Stephen’s many talents also include being a fashion designer. On the May 1964 cover of Vogue, Wilhemina is featured wearing one of his beach wrap designs. Serendipity3 even had a pop-up denim museum that featured famous contributors, including a denim apron from James Beard and a denim purse by Gloria Vanderbilt. Diana Vreeland loved this collection so much that she brought it to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art where she was a special consultant.
Thanks to the vision and passion of Stephen Bruce, Patch Caradine and Calvin Holt, Serendipity3 has always been a fulcrum of food, pop-culture and fashion in New York City. Selena Gomez, a “newly minted partner and investor” will help Serendipity3 continue this special legacy for families and generations to come.
What are you favorite Serendipity memories?
Neuro-diverse and in the kitchen Hang out with me and one of my best friends, Lara Russo, while we chat about what it looks like being on the spectrum and in the kitchen!
Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Healer and Medium and author of the third book completing the trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Messages to Support Global Awakening shares a way to imagine past economics politics social or religious issues healthy happy people working to understand life and beyond, through science and metaphysics using the laws of energy. I am delighted to welcome Diane Hartingh Price who with Susan McCullum co-authored Write Your Stress Away, an outstanding book offering readers mindful exercises that not only reduce stress and heal illness, but create a lifestyle that is ultimately meaningful.
Diane when asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that might have signaled to her or those around them the lifestyle and interests she might pursue in adulthood readily suggests that she always loved to write and her father encouraged her in that way, As a young mother she met her friend Susan who like her appreciated the art of writing and sharing her emotions in a way that helped her reduce stress and become aware of the many wonderful ways to share feelings through writing.
Diane and Susan tell us how they met and decided to write Write Your Stress Away and how writing helped them both address serious health issues faced early on? Our story begins with our friendship for a shared passion for writing health and well being. Fast forward twenty years. Within the same year, we were each diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, Sue with Type 1 diabetes and Diane with breast cancer. In that moment life changed drastically for both of us. Our paths took us in different directions, we both relied on writing to get through the ups and downs of life, including the stress associated with facing acute and chronic illnesses. When we finally shared our experiences, we were struck by how writing had been our lifeline on each of our healing journeys.
Writing had provided clarity, helped us with our decision making, reinforced what mattered most, and offered a release valve when we become emotionally overwhelmed. As we both recognized the powerful healing tool that writing provides we were inspired to create and integrate an approach we call WRITE TO BE WELL. In Diane’s case writing things down became a way of life at a young age. Intuitively journal writing became a mainstay for me in navigating the emotional waters of my life while facing the inevitable challenges as well as being diagnosed with cancer over 20 years ago. Writing helped me uncover the emotions that were driving my feeling like a victim and helped me to move on to self-advocate partnering with care providers. By writing what mattered most my values and powerful self-affirmation emerged being an inspiration to live life fully. Diane decided to share the gift of writing with those in her professional life During her years as a VP in a large consulting firm she met leaders of many organizations. They were executives who paid a big price with their health from the stress they experienced every day. Many adopted writing to support themselves in making personal as well as professional decisions and changes. After leaving the corporate world my life’s work focuses on writing, integrative health coaching, community service and sharing the integrated writing method.
Diane and co-author Sue are aware of the proof from research for this book that stress causes illness and writing improves health. Put the two together and use writing as a valuable tool to achieve and maintain optimal health and manage stress.
Around the time Sue was diagnosed with diabetes she took classes to become a facilitator in legacy, creative and memoir writing. She also achieved a degree in clinical counseling and began facilitating writing groups for her clients.
Sue also worked with women living in Malawi Africa and witnessed the power of writing to touch deep places within these women, many of whom had suffered from traumatic events. This experience showed me that writing our life stories, the painful ones as well as the joyful ones, is universally healing in any language. Diabetes is an unrelenting inconvenient disease that is with Sue 24/7 but writing about it has helped her shift her perspective so she can live side by side with diabetes without having it ruin my life.
The affirmation Sue lives with daily is “ I am a healthy vibrant woman living successfully with diabetes.” Sheryl says that she often has coincidences or synchronicity with her amazing guests and like Sue wakes up every morning and says “I am in a fit and healthy body and so happy to go out into the world and have new experiences with wonderful people.”
Also Sheryl’s son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 22 years old and in her new book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening Gregg shares in written form his journey and challenges and indeed gives a voice of hope and vision to those who will read it. It helped him to write it and others to read it of that Sheryl is sure. A New Life Awaits shares stories of how to deal with the many social, political, economic , religious and health issues of these modern times and to know life in its eternal dance of energy and love.
And also like Sue, Sheryl has seven grandchildren she loves spending time with.
We talk about optimal health and ways to work towards that end. Optimal health is not a quick fix: it is a lifelong process of choices to support your health and well being both in mind, body and spirit. Of course, there will be stumbling blocks and poor choices along the way: yet with a vision based on your values you can manage health challenges even when you slip up now and then. Are you stressed at work, overwhelmed with balancing family and job responsibilities, angry at your health diagnosis or even grieving the good health you once had. Do you ask , “Why me?” Or, you may be feeling shame or guilt about the poor health choices you’ve made in the past. Whatever, the emotions are they might be interfering with your ability to take action.
Emotions play a role in your health decisions. What might be values and priorities that help in making good decisions?
Sheryl says that in almost every situation we encounter moving from a negative or lower vibrational energy or through to what we desire which is a higher level of joy, happiness and peace is the normal state of being. So fearful emotions attack the brain and body like the primitive response of fight or flight, secreting hormones to give us the ability to survive attacks of any kind and while necessary over time if this state is not moderated it can cause health issues.. So it is important to feel, evaluate and utilize the emotions in ways that serve our needs. For example fear when you have to move away from a snake or bear is a valuable tool, but fear that is self-imposed by assuming values of the outside world, instead of trusting your own instincts for what is good for you, will affect your thoughts and physical body negatively. We must find what our needs are and work to fulfill our own goals.
We can all agree that stress can do havoc to our health and our choices. Let’s find out about the types of stress and how stress impacts your mind, body and spirit for better or worse. While the stress response or release of stress hormones to aid in our survival in challenging dangerous physical threats to our safety and is necessary for survival today due to the many challenges of a modern lifestyle, the body is constantly in a state of stress not merely when there are physical threats to our safety. Physically this results in two processes. The first set of stress hormones addresses short term responses causing increased heart and breathing rates, reduced activity in the stomach, reduced saliva production, dry mouth dilated pupils, and glucose released into the bloodstream. The second process addresses the sustained stress reaction. It causes the liver to release stored glucose to maintain a ready supply of fuel for the body while it suppresses the immune system. The activation and effects of the long -term stress response are similar to those of the short term however maintaining a raised heart and breathing rate inhibits digestion and so on over long periods of time has negative health consequences.
Whether the threat is physical, emotional, psychological , environmental, infectious or some combination of these our body reacts. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 110 million people die every year as a direct result of stress. That is seven people every two seconds. In addition, 75-90 percent of all physician office visits are reported to be for stress-related ailments and complaints. Heart disease cancer lung ailments accidents cirrhosis of the liver and suicide are reported as the sixth leading causes of death all with proven links to stress. Diabetes is noted as the seventh leading cause of death.
In 2009 Robert M. Sapolsky premised in his book Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers is that the human stress response is not only to physical threats such as a bear chasing you for getting near its honey but also to perceived mental, emotional and spiritual threats. The problem is those threats don’t subside thus our bodies are in a continual state of heightened physiological tension. This creates a rich environment for lifestyle disease to prevail as our bodies don’t return to a resting state or homeostasis.
While all this talk about stress might lead you to conclude it’s all bad. It’s not. Richard Lazarus offered three basic definitions. They are eustress, neustress and distress. Eustress is good stress that is inspiring or fulfilling. It might result in a rapid heartbeat and perspiration when asking your significant other to marry and they say yes for example. In general, good stress is short term. In these situations, you tend to have a lot of control over the outcome and the stress can motivate you. At the opposite end of the spectrum is distress. This type of stress is negative and is the general connotation of stress. Neustress is neutral stress. It is something that produces neither a good nor bad response in you. Example: Recently at lunch I heard at the next table 2 people talking about their auto repair wows. It sounded like one of them had a huge mess..I had no reaction as it had no immediate effect on me. I was therefore neutral about the whole situation. However if I had experience a recent repair that was a major hassle hearing that conversation
What emotions do most people feel when thinking about changing your health behaviors? The more details and emotions revealed in their writing the better the healing response. Although some students in the expressive writing group expressed sadness after writing their stories they also reported improved moods, a more positive outlook, greater physical health and fewer visits to the student health center. Also according to studies in brain science secrets, whether driven by shame, embarrassment, or resistance to share something personal with another person, creates conflict in the brain and causes the brain to release stress hormones. If there is no emotional release of the stress the excess hormones can weaken the immune system, increase blood pressure, heighten anxiety, and create a host of other ailments. It is known that inhibition or repressing detailed thoughts and feelings about an event takes a lot of work and energy and can place people at risk for -serious diseases. Written confession, which is similar to talk therapy reduces stress and improves health and well being. Clients in counseling who self-disclose their traumas and feelings make the most progress in terms of emotional healing and understanding. The deeper the wound the longer it takes to reveal the truth. Example Sheila raped by her uncle when she was eight years old found it difficult to talk about the event due to the shame and embarrassment she felt. Her uncle had threatened her to tell no one. She suffered the repercussions of fear and anxiety, sure signs of stress,
Sheryl says Why is there so much abuse happening to so many children??
There are many benefits of writing reported by professional and non professional writers alike,
Lousie De Salvo who wrote Writing as a Way of Healing says that writing saved her life and offered a way of fixing things, of making things better or healing herself.
Alice Walker author of the Color Purple said, It’s really a matter of necessity and that you write to save your life and construct a sturdy kind of ladder out of the pit
Henry Miller, in a letter published in Art and Outrage said, “The more I wrote, the more I became a human being…I was getting the poison out of my system.
Anais Nin, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories said, “We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
In a study by Pennebaker it was discovered writing about traumatic events heals not just the emotions that may cause disease but also the body.
Writing boosts immune function. People who wrote about their deepest thoughts and feelings about a stressful traumatic event had heightened T-lymphocytes in their blood which protects against abnormalities and infection.
Writing decreases the severity of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. All improved who wrote about stressful events. Writing improves after-care outcomes of heart attack patients. Five months post intervention the writing group had fewer medical appointments and were taking fewer prescription medications than the control group. They reported fewer cardiac related symptoms and had lower diastolic blood pressure
Writing promotes wound healing, In a group with healthy adults ages 64-79 Eleven days after the biopsy 76 percent of the adults in the experimental group had fully healed compared with 42 percent in the control group.
Writing reduces pain in patients with cancer. After writing the findings indicated that those with expressive writing had high emotional disclosure and had significantly lower pain intensity.
The studies based on Pennebaker’s expressive writing model provide scientific evidence to prove expressive writing offers biological benefits to people battling acute or chronic disease. Of course, it doesn’t kill cancer cells or viruses associated with serious illnesses such as Aids. And is not a substitute for psychological and medical treatment but all energetic approaches to release toxins blockages traumas at the cellular level is part of a holistic mind body spirit approach to healing.
Personal qualities or activities would suggest people develop to achieve their vision or goals. Writing is a powerful tool you can use to reduce stress and optimize your health.
We discussed Expressive writing to help get to the core of your stress and Affirmation writing to help you name your desired state of well being.
Then we go to Action Scripting to
- Write a Plan of Action and
- Define Smart Goals to support behavioral change leading to achieving a healthier and successful new vision or life.
Reflective Writing Promotes Insight Reflective writing challenges us to review life experiences by noticing how we have changed, developed or grown from these events. The language associated with reflective writing reveals a shift in understanding of your story, your causes of stress and why you’re tolerating such tension producing experiences.
Causal words, such as cause, effect, reason and “insight” words, like understand, realize know denote a search to find meaning in personal stress or trauma. Reflective journal writing is proven to have a strong connection to support learning. It is used in education, medicine, nursing counseling, coaching and professional development.
Diane and Sue might want you to remember The Key Elements of Step Four Plan to unlock an understanding you have of your readiness, competence and commitment to change your situation.
Let’s scan for words that provide positivity and perspective about yourself.
Words like Being Worthy…by realizing your self-worth you can energize yourself to face any obstacle Having Courage… You can do what you must and face even the things that frighten you
That You Are Enough…. You can find within yourself all that is needed to make it happen. While there is room for improvement, remind yourself you have the skills and competence to move forward one step at a time.
Sheryl thanks Diane Hartingh Price and Susan Ives McCollum authors of Write Your Stress Away for sharing their lifetime love of writing and finding ways to help others discover that journaling of daily occurrences or feeling will certainly help to reduce stress clearly see all the elements of what’s happening so better choices to achieve a healthier happier life journey can happen. Learn how to incorporate writing, listening and loving into your daily activities and Write Your Stress Away.
In summarizing today’s episode with Diane and Sue we have discovered a very valuable tool for finding ways past pain, trauma and stress and to assess whether an unconscious undercurrent in your life or range of emotions is at play and might lead to physical or mental illness. We have seen that research has found and evaluated ways or tools to help us lessen the pain of serious illnesses like asthma rheumatoid arthritis cancer ways and to reduce stress and heal the body. Diane writes “Research demonstrates that writing helps us organize and integrate the troubling stories that haunt us and identify the emotions that fuel stress and undermine health. Reflecting on and writing about emotional events releases pent up stress and gives people a new perspective on the event. The problems that seemed insurmountable before may be more manageable after seeing them on paper. With the act of writing there is no longer a need to ruminate over the problem, when your understanding increases, your stress levels go down.
Sheryl shares in her new book A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening that the result of writing about present day events and the stories gathered and recorded through twenty years of journaling of coincidences mystical happenings and her awareness that we are spiritual beings having a physical life and we are each much more than we appear to be. A medium told Sheryl years ago as started to awaken to a new perspective of Self and life to journal everything that was happening, as when she looked back at what was written she would see the tremendous progress made and also would have conquered many of her childhood fears as indeed she has. Her books Life Is No Coincidence and The Living Spirit offer tools for self-development and hope for finding happiness, health and peace as we realize more about our divine nature .
Diane Sue and Sheryl would hope you try writing journaling visualization prayer songs being in nature and getting closer in every way to your authentic loving inner being. It takes a small beginning effort and practice to produce tremendous results. Let’s all begin to write our thoughts, evaluate what is positive and purposeful and make our human and divine dreams a reality.

What is synchronicity and how does it show up in our lives? This week my guest is Etan Ilfeld, the creator of The Synchronicity Oracle Deck. Etan and I have a lively & fun discussion about really understanding what synchronicity is and how we can use it to our advantage to tap into our unconscious mind. We touch on why it can be so hard for us to tune in and what gets in the way of us hearing our inner most desires.
Etan and I also talk about how to use synchronicity and symbols in our own lives to guide us, the right and better way to ask questions of the oracle and we even touch on physics and time travel! We had a lot of fun with this episode and Etan even does a live reading for me which really demonstrates the power of using the Synchronicity Oracle deck to tell a story. If you’ve ever worked with or been interested in oracle decks (or even if you haven’t) you will love this episode!

Busy is the new badge of honor. But overdoing it often leads to burnout. And, if you’re burned out, all areas of your life will suffer. If you are running on empty, you have nothing left for those you are in relationships with. The more burned out, the more overwhelm, the worse it gets. Your health—physical, emotional, and mental—will all be impacted. Executive Life Coach Lee Marinaki explains burnout, its impact, and, most importantly, how to deal with it.
If you are struggling with your marriage, Lesli can help. Please share this timely show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
We take unrelated topics and transition the subject into something different. Taking elements that we may perceive as chaos moves raw resources to bring forth compassion, humility, and sensitivity.
It may seem like we are experiencing similar events in our lives. If each day is a new day, what is different? I suggest that the differences in our lives are platforms to springboard into uncharted waters. Sometimes the differences are overwhelming, and commonalities are not apparent. Experiencing uncertainty can be scary.
This is the zone of transition and transformation. The heat of the situation moves us to metamorphosis into a better sense of self with new compassion, sensitivity, and humanity,Join me as we visit chaos and unveil the beauty of transitioning to be more.

I have a few warm-up questions for you to start this episode of Conversations with Mother Earth. The first question is “Do you like rain?” Chances are most of you would answer by saying “No”. In contrast, if I asked you “Do you like sunny days?” all of you would immediately reply with “Yes, of course!”
My final question is “Do you like to drink water?” Again, I presume all of you would again say “Yes”. The intent of these questions is to introduce today’s conversation of rain for without rain we obviously would not have any water to drink nor indeed any fruit juice as fruit comes from plants and trees that need rain to survive.
We all know that rain is an invaluable source of life. However, too much rain can also be destructive, as with the recent tragic floods you likely have read about in Germany, China, Canada, Mozambique and other places around the world.
My guest speaker in this episode is Thomas Huggins who is a leading researcher in what is called “cascading disasters”, which happens when one initial catastrophic event – such as a flood from too much rain – triggers a series of follow-up disasters. The intent of his research is to learn how we can eliminate these follow-up cascading disasters. Thomas is from New Zealand and his current position is Assistant Professor, Division of Science & Technology, BNU-HKBU United International College in Zhuhai, China.
https://youtu.be/7Z6bsWISpsw
We discuss why we like rain, how rain is perceived in his home country New Zealand, about his research of “cascading events”, how some man-made projects contribute to disasters and why the Māori knowledge is important for his work. You can also hear how rain inspires a researcher who spends his time studying disasters.
It is a very refreshing conversation. Tune in…

Do you have a love/hate relationship with the end of the year holidays? You get to spend time with family and friends. On the flip side, you get to spend time with family and friends. The pressure to get them right, ensure that everyone is happy (except maybe you), and always have a wonderful time makes many of us want to go to sleep and wake up sometime in the New Year. But what if there was a way to eliminate the overwhelm and create a holiday season that truly is enjoyable? Well, that’s just what Dr. Dravon James, a Transformation Specialist, inspirational speaker, radio host, life coach, author of Freedom is Your Birthright, and Founder of the Next Step Leadership Academy reveals in today’s show.

I was recently asked why I work so hard and why on earth would I expand the business seeing as I just turned 60.
I had to pause for a second and didn’t fully understand the question. After hesitating I responded, “why wouldn’t I expand my business? I still have a ton to offer businesses to help them grow revenue streams and love creating and helping businesses serve bigger by selling more and expanding their business.
Instead of slowing down, I feel I need to expand my business because the need for business owners to grow their business has grown exponentially since COVID and our new Global economy.
I believe we have options in our life choices. To live a default life from cradle too grave or to create a more fulfilled life, maybe even an exponential life. I choose exponential every day!
I’d love to see everyone play in the space between default and fulfilled. Are you with me?

Inventions are one of the most exciting examples of creating what you speak. Taking an idea that started as a thought form and going through the process to bring that idea to life is an amazing example of the power of directing our thoughts! On this episode, my guest is Christine Brown, founder of the Kind Cup. The Kind Cup is a menstrual cup, and if you are not familiar with what that is, we get into that on the show!
Christine shares her experience of having an idea that just wouldn’t stop tugging at her, going through the process of bringing the idea to life and what that experience was like. Christine has some great advice for anyone who has an idea and isn’t quite sure what to do with it (hint: go for it!). As a fellow inventor, this conversation with Christine was so fun and also a great reminder of how we all have something pulling at us and that you only get one life, so why not go after it!

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick author of A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Global Awakening which shows our challenges are not economic, political or societal, just a spiritual disconnect from our true being or soul wisdom. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Sarah Mane author of Conscious Confidence and a Sanskrit scholar as a means to life-mastery and a strong sense of compassion, self-direction, self-empowerment and the life force of self-confidence.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” are well aware, Sheryl’s esteemed guests, authors and seekers of knowing how to best navigate life using metaphysical concepts and tools share intimate experiences and insights so we may know who we are and how to make choices that enhance life and humanity. We often reflect on the past to understand the present and to create a better future.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within, Sarah will show us how we may develop a practical confidence boosting program taken from the deepest meanings of ancient Sanskrit concepts so we may establish a safe reference point to see the world and make clear decisions on how to act, what to say, and how to feel.
When asked to think back to her childhood, Sarah remembers that in the 60s, her parents became interested in the soul and afterlife, and went to group meetings and came home from a lecture and said “We have found the knowledge and wisdom we were looking for.” The energy in the house began to change as her parents read and continued to go to groups that were interested in understanding higher consciousness and soul life, and Sarah began to feel comfortable in those discussions with her parents and to ask questions. Her parents spoke actively with her about things they were reading and about the after soul. Sarah became interested in philosophy and meditation as a result of her parents’ new awareness. Sheryl shares with Sarah that Sarah and she were both sensitive children, intuitive, and meant to pursue a life on the path to finding God or Universal Source, and to be involved in a spiritual pursuit to find truth and how to merge soul and physical life to its best advantage.
Sarah suggests that the roots of Sanskrit words can relate to confidence and success unlocking rich three-dimensional understandings of each word as well as guidance on how to find your path in life. As an example, Sarah looks at the word “Attitude.” The Sanskrit root means “our point of view, our intent, and our conduct.” Of course, a positive Attitude means we have a self-aware point of view, have an intent for the good from which to view the world and shine your light and spiritual gifts into the world advancing the evolution of self and our communities.
Sheryl shares a synchronistic story or coincidence with Sarah. Sheryl tells Sarah that her name “Sheryl” was given to her to represent both of her grandmothers who were named Sarah. Another important connection to the research Sarah has done about Sanskrit, which Sheryl has been also interested in, is expressed in every Reiki 1 Energy Healing Class she presents. Reiki or the ancient healing art of hands-on healing, was rediscovered in the early 1900s from the Japanese Master Teacher Ryoho Usui, who studied Sanskrit in order to discover how Jesus performed spiritual healing and Master Usui was able to as a result of his studies of Sanskrit, develop a modern version of Reiki, which Sheryl practices and teaches as a Reiki Master Teacher.
In Sheryl’s new book A New Life Awaits; Spirit Guided Insights for Global Awakening Sheryl writes, “While some may see that others have more material accouterments, some may have less! I have discovered that attitude is indeed everything and often at a Reiki 1 group read the following poem by Charles Swindoll “Attitude.”
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our Attitudes.” Sanskrit is the language of the universe and one of the most ancient connections to Universal Source. Sanskrit is the language used by the sages of India to write their poetry, epics and works of profound wisdom and an incomparable tool for delving into the truest knowledge. It is not just a language to be written and spoken, but a pathway to gain understanding of the experience of life, death and truth. The word Sanskrit means purified and perfectly formed. Sanskrit is the language of the universe and the wise say when all the noise and distractions fall back and the still small voice is heard in our hearts, the language it speaks is pure and perfectly formed. As a rule, Sanskrit words and even nouns come from a verbal root. A verb is an action word, it is energy: something is happening. Sanskrit words therefore are related to some form of energy or action. Sanskrit is one of the root languages in the extensive Indo- European linguistic family. The family of languages includes Hindi Gujarati but also Latin, Greek, German, French, Italian and English. Scholars consider Sanskrit to be “a mother of languages.”
Sanskrit helps us to discover that we are limitless, magnificent universal beings who embody the force and energy of the universe. There is no difference between our energy and the energy of the universe: they are one and the same. All the wisdom traditions tell us this simple truth.
Sheryl says she was fortunate to have an experience which made that premise a reality and truth beyond anything else she had ever known. For her to really accept that premise, she needed a consequential, experiential personal experience which happened 25 years ago, when Sheryl was sick with the flu in a sort of delirious state. While in this state between sleep and wakefulness, Sheryl became aware that her grandfather paid her a spiritual visit and let her know she had to write something for her father. Sheryl was confused by the message. The very next day she received a call that her father had passed and proceeded to write his eulogy. That event triggered a need for her to learn more about who we are and what happens after leaving this physical life. Sheryl also wanted to learn how Consciousness survived physical death and how mediums communicate with souls of energy. In the process discovered she had always been listening to the inspiration of her thoughts, unaware they were guidance from the universe, and she was indeed a medium. After this event with her grandfather, Sheryl began a long journey to discover more about spiritual communication, the afterlife, and the reasons souls choose a physical life.
Sanskrit is the practical relevance for today’s unmanageable and traumatizing world. The timeless wisdom of Sanskrit emphasizes the simple truth that we are universal. While ordinary experiences may be one of the limitations throughout time, all of the wisdom teachings have shown us that the limits we feel are of the ego, imagined and superimposed on the limitless universal self by the outside physical world.
One aspect of these changing times that needs to reevaluate how Sanskrit can help us use the traditions of the past which in their time, provided certainty, confidence and consistency and had a stabilizing function in life, is now running out of energy and momentum. Today’s relevance, technology, transport and medicine, while making improvements in living, are changing rapidly and there is a lack of faith in our institutions and ourselves is causing us to question how to go forward. While these shifts are normal, they can also be uncomfortable. Change can be exciting, but insecurity, doubt and fear can surface.
When we begin to ask the following questions, we develop confidence to follow our hearts true needs:
How can I find happiness?
Do I have enough confidence in myself to follow my heart’s desire?
Where can I find peace?
How can I fit everything into a busy day and busy life?
What can I do to de-stress?
How can I succeed and still be myself?
What is truly important to me?
How can I balance my own needs and the needs of others?
How can I find the confidence in myself to embrace new interesting opportunities?
How do I trust and believe in myself?
When asked to share some of the most important and memorable things Sarah learned from her spiritual teachers, she shares the following story. “There is a story of a young man Nachiketas and the Lord Yama. Nachiketas’ father, hoping to get to heaven, presented many gifts to the priests but always kept the best for himself and his son realized that was not right. So the boy said, “Father have you also given me away to the gods?” The father getting angry said “I give you to the Lord of Death, God Yama,” and the boy said” All things in this world are temporary, I have no fear. I want to know what lies beyond this experience of life.” The father didn’t want his son to go to the realm of Death and realized he had misspoken. Nachiketas, believing in the principle that a man’s word is his bond, realized that following the path of truth was the only way to heaven. And so honoring his fathers word, crossed his arm, bowed to his unhappy father and left.
Arriving at Lord Yama’s home, he was greeted with great respect and Lord Yama said “I will grant you three special gifts of your choosing.” The first was to reconcile with his father. The second was to know how to reach the realm of heaven, where there is no sorrow, fear, old age or death. Lord Yama told him there was a Fire within the heart of every person, that leads to heaven. This is where one is free from fear, sorrow, old age and death. The Fire is three -fold, composed of knowledge, meditation and practice. Knowing all these things are temporary, the young man asked again “My choice of gifts is unchanged. What happens to a soul when the body is left behind?”
Lord Yama laid out two diverging paths. One is the path of Ignorance, which those of limited vision delight in following. It is paved with fleeting pleasures, petty victories and meaningless feats. The other path is the path of Timeless Wisdom, where the seeker of truth acquires knowledge of the in-dwelling, all knowing Self, and finally attains a place of strength, a place of peace, a place of confidence, and a place of fulfillment. This story was about a young boy who was intent on learning timeless wisdom and would not accept anything else.
Sarah shares her take on meditation, self-awareness and mindfulness. Meditation is a tool that allows one to become familiar and comfortable with the inner wisdom of the soul, allowing for self-awareness and a higher sense of self or higher consciousness to flourish. By going back to the unchanging wisdom in Sanskrit, we can redefine, clarify and realize a purer, more powerful meaning for what is valuable in the life experience, such as attitudes and confidence.
Sarah writes, “Meditation is food for the spiritual body, along with prayer and keeping company with the words of the wise. Deep stillness in meditation, a peaceful walk in a beautiful place is quiet contemplation of natural beauty gazing at the stars, remaining still in the present moment and letting go of past and future narratives, all these are restful for the emotional body. Engaging in the creative arts such as making beautiful music art or dance are other excellent ways to exercise the emotional body. All of these activities will help you feel a sense of connection, peace and freedom.”
Sarah shares some of the key spiritual principles that she applied in her teaching career. She refers to the ancient and timeless wisdom traditions of East and West which have provided humanity with an unbroken thread of connection to consciousness throughout the millennia. It is a thread of wisdom and knowledge and the purpose of this wisdom is to provide source wisdom, so people may realize the truth of themselves as spiritual beings, having a physical life through the power of their energetic thoughts and actions, creating or manifesting their lives through either love or through their fears.
When we consciously choose to try something new to increase our awareness and improve our well being, we can be sure that our experience will change. The most important thing is to start practicing each day meditation, self-awareness, and mindfulness.
Our most valuable equipment to work with as we seek to attain timeless wisdom is our faculties, our energy, or capacity to apply intelligence and effort. We have a physical body which moves us through the world and is always anchored in the present moment. Therefore, we have a vast, powerful inner tool of intuition within our heart and mind, anchored to Universal Source or that of creation.
In the Sanskrit wisdom tradition, there are four aspects to the mind and heart:
Manas the Thinking Mind aka “The Monkey Mind”
Buddhi The Intellect or Intelligence
Chitta Deep Memory aka the Heart
Aham the Limitless Sense of Existence or Ahamkara the Limited Sense of Existence
Aham is a sense of feeling of existence. This is the limitless feeling of self-awareness that we are here now. “I Am” It’s a pure and simple feeling. The feeling of existence is utterly present and yet deeply peaceful and satisfying. It encompasses everything, it is one and undivided. It is the feeling of existence that unites us all.
In Sheryl’s book A New Life Awaits, she explains the four aspects of the mind and heart often, and writes,” The title of my new book, A New Life Awaits, shares the truth known by many people who have felt that moment of complete awareness within them, when this driving forceful energy, known as Spirit, awakens them and they learn decisively to love life, which is the ultimate gift from Spirit and which offers to each soul the chance for greater compassion for themselves and others. Of course, I didn’t need to voice these understandings to these hospice patients, for I hoped that my smile of reassurance would be enough to quiet fears about the unknown, often mysterious experiences they were going through. I was trained not to voice my personal beliefs when sitting with patients. However, through my many life experiences and heightened soul energy, I could be telepathically sharing my beliefs from within the “soul-light force” that simply cannot be contained. This energy from Spirit or our interconnectedness to eternal life cannot be expressed easily in words. This energy might be represented by one’s confidence or natural part of their physical, emotional, and spiritual presence. It cannot be forced or faked, and because it is authentic, it is undeniably the truth.”
In Sarah’s executive coaching work, she shares the main issues that she finds people need help with.” It might be the ability to know yourself, your goals and dreams, from within, and to be able to forgive, be grateful, or simply to feel good about yourself, as we live in a competitive and unforgiving world based on ego and materialistic needs often forgetting who we are and how important it is to remember that you are indeed more than your physical life and capable of great feats of courage, love and honor.”
Sarah has a quote in her book from Shakespeare that Sheryl likes: “This is a strange repose, to be asleep With eyes wide open, standing speaking moving And yet so fast asleep.” William Shakespeare (The Tempest Act 2 Scene 1)
What people need is to find confidence. Confidence is having inner strength, self-assurance, self-esteem, and resilience. There is a type of confidence that comes from habit and familiarity. Confidence built on repetition so we develop skills and know-how. However, familiarity, routine and habit encourage minimal attention to the present, and these are the conditions for becoming unconscious which we knowingly want to avoid.
We can and must develop Conscious Confidence: confidence based in recognizing the opportunities inherent in the situations we find ourselves in and also recognizing the strength and power we possess.
Sheryl explains why it seems so hard these days for young people to transition into adulthood. Sheryl says “Many children today have been either raised by Helicopter parents who do not allow them to make decisions or choices on their own, as they fear the changing world and tide of despair. Other parents are simply overwhelmed by the pressures of surviving economically, physically and socially in a world that can bring them down in a flash…look at the worldwide coronavirus pandemic that they are unable to attend to much more than the physical needs of their children and many times not even that. Children are growing up emotionally and spiritually deficient, and as a result often sad and even depressed. We need to return to a simpler life, with more family involvement and more care for ourselves and others, if there is not to be a total pandemic beyond that of physical disease. Fear must be conquered and trust, in perhaps, a bigger universal plan of love, once again remembered in the heart.
The concept of Conscious Confidence can help with this transitional point in a young person’s life. Having Conscious Confidence means being awake to and aware of the truth of any situation. It means to be free, connected and in touch. You have faith in yourself and trust that everything you need to act effectively is available to you in the present moment. You can see potential and opportunities for success. It is a firm foundation for action.
Unconscious Confidence in opposition to that causes the following behaviors:
Brash: Egotistical Look at me. Does all the talking and is unable to listen
Reckless: Gambling Bravado stupidity frat boy behavior
Baseless: Ignorant Convinced that you know something even when you don’t
Impulsive: Acting without proper consideration taking action before the situation is clear
Sarah would like readers to take away with them after reading her book Conscious Confidence to “recognize a Conscious Confident person. They are quietly spoken and never force themselves on situations. Always cheerful and greets anyone known or unknown, and with a wide smile and warm hearted greeting making no distinction about the people he meets. They all are met with the same love, care, and attention. They are intelligent, efficient, and skilled in many ways, both practical and intellectual. Always full of service; providing anything that is needed no matter how simple. They respect all people and are deeply respected by all who know them. Respond to situations both public and private with the same lightness of touch, openness and intelligence. Demonstrates a strong sense of spirituality and is truly gentle and fine.”
Sheryl calls us Conscientious Citizens of the Universe. People with an awareness of the bigger picture…they are spiritual beings and physical and merge the love, truth and goodness of Creation.
Sheryl would like to thank Sarah Manes, author of Conscious Confidence for sharing the language of Enlightenment which is truly unique among all the languages of the world and offering a practical confidence boosting program derived from the deepest meanings of Sanskrit concepts which is so needed in these challenging modern times.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within, we have outlined principles for harnessing the fourfold energies of Conscious Confidence as a means for discovering a steady inner or soul source of compassion, self-direction, self-empowerment and the life force of self-confidence. We have found that Sanskrit offers timeless wisdom that we may access to transform our thoughts and actions to build confidence, certainty, clarity and success. This method, like all spiritual practices and states of Higher Consciousness, allows us to conquer the growing anxiety and fear from lifetime or childhood trauma to a core of selfhood for knowing our divine potential rather than relying on the ever-changing outside world. This awareness is truly Healing From Within.
Sarah and Sheryl would have you move past the fears and reality of a physical world regaining a sense of your personal intuitive and energetic soul power and smile from within, through any challenge and by doing that, create a healthy personal reality and a world of hope beyond these troubled times. The answers to a good fulfilling life are within, and within reach, if we only pay attention to that quiet voice that tells us we are love in action.
Sheryl Glick, host of Healing From Within, invites you to visit her website www.sherylglick.com to hear from and read about leaders, authors, teachers of metaphysics, science, spirituality, religion, the arts and music, and approach new ways to view and perceive the beauty of life.

Today’s Guest
- https://damayanti.store
Kute Blackson is a bright young visionary who was born in Ghana as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father whose public ministry in Africa and in England numbers in the tens of thousands.
Kute is an inspiring speaker who offers a fresh look at spiritual awareness, and his second book, just out, is amazing! It’s called The Magic of Surrender – Finding the Courage to Let Go.
Kute says that his mission is simple. He wants to awaken and inspire people across the planet to access inner freedom, live authentically, and fulfill their true life’s purpose. Roberta calls his new book the best modern spiritual book she has ever read.
This session begins with a thought. I shared this thought with someone. The person had been displaying signs of physical discomfort. I cycled through the session for about 5 minutes. The results were amazing. The person achieved a relaxed rhythmic breathing pattern; all extremities were loose, facial muscles were smooth and calm. Some technical pointers to remember during this session:
-
As a disclaimer, please know that everyone’s pain tolerance is different. And so, the results of this practice will vary.
-
Don’t compare your painful body to your pre-pain or pre-pressure condition.
-
During the practice, we let go of any judgment.
-
Seek health care guidance from a professional practitioner if you have questions or need further support.
I am dedicating this podcast to someone very dear to me. I am also pleased to share this with you and invite you to let go of any pain, pressure, or discomfort.

Last week in arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, Lynn Fitch may have done what no other attorney has done in over 50 years. She may have presented the Supreme court an argument that could over turn the Roe decision that federalized the right for abortions. We will not know until probably next spring, but the ground has been prepared. And last week before the Supreme Court building itself there was an awesome Pro-Life rally and Dr. Alveda King was one of the outstanding speakers.

In episode 6, we covered the topic of breath but from a perspective of understanding how breath connects us to Mother Earth and our direct environment. Today, we are again returning to this topic but from the overall perspective of personal health. As we all know, the quality of air directly affects our well-being. Trust me, I know as I am currently work and live in China.
This episode’s guest Dan Brulé is a perfect person for this topic of breathing as he has decades of experience and is considered the legend of Breathwork.

He has trained Olympic athletes and elite combatants such as martial art professionals.
He coaches leading medical experts, corporate executives, and peak performers including Tony Robbins. He is the author of several books including “Just Breathe: Master Breathwork for Success in Life, Love, Business and Beyond.”
We talk about “good breathing”, how breath connects us to the spirit, how breath can easily help us influence our moods, what emotions get released during his work and why laughter is contagious.
We finish with the Sanskrit proverb from his book:
“For breath is life, and if you breathe well, you will live long on earth”. ‘

Today on Newsgram we focus on the book WHILE THE U.S. SLEEPS: Squandered Opportunities and Looming Threats to Societies by Winston Langley
It’s never been our practice to get political on Newsgram and we are not going to start today, even though it may seem like that’s where we’re going. It’s actually quite the opposite.
These are challenging times and I say with the utmost optimism. I think conflict and challenge can lead to positive change. And, the best way to solve a problem is by first identifying what it it. Easier said than done right? Not for Winston Langley, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
Once identified we need to take an objective look at the problems we face. Finding an objective source of information is one of the problems. As human beings we are inherently biased by our beliefs, our backgrounds and experiences.
We may not be able to solve the world’s problems on this edition of Newsgram but we are going to solve the domestic one’s. I’d like you to meet Winston Langley. A man with a pedigree that makes him a lot smarter than me…at least when it comes to Biology, Diplomatic History, International Political Science and the Law.
(Winston) “…The United States has had very important opportunities to deal with certain problems and for a number of reasons has stepped away from or neglected to attend to the problems…”
At this time of this recording we have just transitioned from one type of leadership to another which makes it a great time to evaluate where we’ve been and where we are going. For over a hundred years, both political parties and a long succession of U.S. leaders have failed to embrace countless opportunities across a variety of areas to make a major contribution to our society or the world.
(Winston) “…we are confronted with a convergence of these problems that threaten society as a whole and because the U.S. leads the world, threaten global society also…”
So what are the problems? They are all laid out by chapter in his book WHILE THE U.S. SLEEPS: Squandered Opportunities and Looming Threats to Societies.
Problems like, Arms limitation, third party dispute settlement and Security. Economic Models Chosen and Pursued by the US. Race and Class and how race has been used to mask a class system in our society. Education and popular culture.
The Environment and the steps that have been taken to deal with global warming and how we’ve behaved in light of those threats.
According to Winston in an effort to deal with some of these issues we have focused on personalities, specific presidents for example or political parties. We have identified events or movements like the 1960s radicals or far-Right extremists when instead what we should be looking at are rooted patterns that have shaped and reinforced our institutions. His book looks at some of those patterns and offers a possible new course of action.
Heavy stuff I know so you might be asking, where did he get his information?
(Winston) “…I used a number of law libraries, for example locally the Boston University law library. I used the public archives at Harvard, I say public because it contains all the archives from the United Nations and much from the US. I used the diplomatic exchange from Yale University, I used my own university library and of course I have a library at home…”
Winston Langley is Professor Emeritus of political Science and International relations and senior fellow at the McCormick Graduate school for policy and global studies at the University of Mass in Boston. He has taken on issues that are not just political, or economic but that have a direct bearing on each one of our lives, and he does it quite often. There is a link in the show notes to all of his books.
So there you have it. If you want to make the world a better place and you want to do a lot more than just love your neighbor Winston Langley has paved the way.
And that’s it for this edition of Newsgram.

Today on Newsgram we look at The Kingfisher by Dr. Donna Clovis
Everyone has a story to tell. I mean you have led a fascinating life. But being able to share that story, well that’s something else entirely because while we all have a story to tell we aren’t all natural born storytellers.
Today on Newsgram we’re gong to spotlight one of those storytellers. Her name is Donna Clovis, no hold on…it’s Dr. Donna Clovis.
DClovis: “…these older people that were 100, 104, 105 and all of a sudden they were telling me their stories and I was like Oh my God, I’ve got to record their stories…”
And so she did. While I do not hold a Doctorate we do share a love of documentaries and good storytelling. Dr. Donna has written at least eight different books and if you Google her you’ll see what I’m talking about.
DClovis “…That’s the beauty in this there’s a story, and there’s the story we tell together and we can’t tell it without each other.
I heard the word Highlights the other day and a fun memory popped into my mind. I was at the dentist (lol). It wasn’t so much going to the dentist as it was the waiting room. It’s where I discovered Highlights magazine. I loved it. There are so many cool things in there. I won’t go so far as to say it changed my life but it did have a profound impact on Donnas’
DClovis: “…I was eight years old and I loved to read Highlights and my first piece of writing in poetry was in Highlights, and from there I just kept writing and writing and writing and it just hasn’t ended…”
Since she was eight years old she’s been writing and now, she’s all grown up with a ton of stories to share about people, history and culture in and around Princeton. Her newest book is just out and it’s called “The Kingfisher”. What’s it about? Dr. Donna…
DClovis: “Well, I think about this, the twilight is legendary. It is the first blue moon since 1944 and it arrives at Princeton University on October 31, 2020. And in this moment, you realize, I take you to a place where your mind becomes a book. It is the story of Kingfisher, a savior for Black mankind and Mama, the voice of the lullaby that cries to save him from the knee of the police like George Floyd. Mama cries to protect his life and his breath… And YOU the reader participate in a special quest…”
If you’re a fan of historical fiction and great storytelling I think you’ll enjoy The Kingfisher. Find it wherever you like to shop for books.
And that will do it for this week’s edition of Newsgram.

This show looks at Bullying and the new book Fantastic Florence, It’s Not Your Fault: A Story about Bullying by Lesley Millard Zafran.
This is a story about bullying. Actually, it’s a look at a series of children’s books that not only talk about bullying but address the traumatic experiences some children face.
When I sat down to write this episode the memories of bullying came flooding back to me; Memories that I dismissed because I was kind of a smart-mouthed kid. Being shy and a little on the short side tends to make you a little defensive but the truth is many of us have witnessed childhood traumas, traumas that we’ve dismissed for various reasons.
Well, Lesley Millard Zafran created a character named Fantastic Florence that could be a huge help to parents and teachers. Fantastic Florence is a wise and loving magical bag who hears the thoughts of children, and writes them messages when they are suffering. She validates their feelings as they struggle with situations they are too young to understand.
The newest book in the series is Fantastic Florence, It’s Not Your Fault: A Story about Bullying; A great tool for helping shy kids tell their stories. It gets them to open up about bullying, which is hard to do. It’s easy for children to blame themselves when things happen to them. They are often reluctant to talk about issues like bullying because they think it’s their fault.
Fantastic Florence assures the children in each story that the painful challenges that life is presenting to them are not their fault. She encourages them to speak to someone they trust about what is happening to them. In the story about Bullying a young girl named Ella is being harassed by her classmates; Florence hears her pain and uses her magic powers to soothe Ella’s anxieties by encouraging her to reframe the situation and reach out for help.
Florence’s brave, caring insights and message help Ella feel supported and less alone, and to realize that it is not her fault that she is being bullied. Every book in the series is designed to be a safe space for children.
The author, Lesley Millard Zafran is a mother of two who has worked as a consultant for schools and nonprofits for the past twenty years. She believes every child needs love, support and encouragement to feel brave and confident about themselves, and their place in the world. Creating Florence is her answer to that need.
If this sounds like something you’d like to learn more about we put a link to the entire Fantastic Florence series in the show notes, and that is it for another edition of Newsgram.

This edition of Newsgram looks at killing our own in the name of Honor and it’s based on the book LOVE AND HONOUR? Marriage for Peace by David D.E. Evans.
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking Sam, you’ve talked about a lot of different things on Newsgram, met with several different authors and some highly interesting people but you’ve nevevr explored romantic tragedy. Well that changes today. We are about to delve into Romeo and Juliet style romance tragedy; families killing their own in the name of family “honour”. Oh, it’s a thing and not just a thing…it’s a phenomenon.
(Evans) “…The phenomenon is a Romeo and Juliet phenomenon and you can not argue with a Phenomenon.”
That’s Dr. David Evans and he’s just written a new book called Love and Honour? Marriage for Peace. His book is focused on the Northern India and Nepal regions and he points out that despite India adopting a democratic constitution in 1950, the public murder of forbidden lovers continues. He says that whole media reports of this phenomenon did not surface until 1993 they have dramatically increased since then.
(Evans) “Yes, yes, that is right. I didn’t understand it and that led me to want to study it further. It’s been a very exciting process because I’ve had to study love legions around the world…”
Yes, we are talking about public murders on the basis of a relationship that is deemed inappropriate.
(Evans) “…There was a moment of awareness and it happened in 1993 when I read of an Indian man who hanged his son in public with the police watching and I could not understand it. and later after all my studies I realized it was an offense to the culture and the need for preservation of culture. ..”
Families. Am I right? I probably seems most shocking because it’s not the kind of thing we condone in this country but we’ve definitely thought about it.
Cultures and traditions are so different around that world that I try to keep an open mind. As a father of three I have to say, maybe it’s not so crazy. And, the truth is we do a lot of things in this country that may seem strange to outsiders but I was encouraged to hear that reforms are taking place.
(Evans “…Reforms have come and in my book, there is one chapter about a high court judgement where a deterrent was necessary and the high court recommended capital punishment. Now India has an approach to capital punishment only to be used in the rarest to the rare circumstance and even though death sentences have been awarded they probably will never be carried out. What does happen there is they keep bringing them back for review until a judge is more favorable and give a more lenient sentence…”
So progress is being made and there are other reforms taking place that still fight to preserve culture but don’t always end in murder.
(Evans) “…The book is about progress and societal change and it points out the steps between the initial lethal violence to the intermediary step of non-violence which has a couple of examples that I think are very relevant and in one of these Khap Elder said, the couple should have left home and never come back. This is a intermediary step and in the legality of the situation social separation is a legal possibility where you can say to somebody I don’t want to see you again. ..”
The book is called LOVE AND HONOUR? Marriage for Peace and it’s a fascinating look at the social pressures behind honor killings and the stepping stones toward a path of progress from murder to reconciliation, to acceptance, and ultimately, to marriage for peace.
It was written by David Evans and it’s available wherever you buy books. And that will do it for this edition of Newsgram.
Are you working words a goal, and things are starting to get tough? Our awareness we are at a stepping stone pace of moving towards our goal.
We know distracting thoughts and emotions will pull us away from our focus.
Recognize that you have positivity inside of you that is glowing. I will guide you through a gratitude awareness meditation and reflect on our inner strengths and gifts during this episode. I encourage you to move through challenges and recognize each challenge. We grow stronger.
Don’t you just love the title, “Being Drunk on One’s Own Thoughts?” That title is actually one of the 8 Keys in Myung Sung, a living meditation. My guest is the author, Dr. Jenelle Kim. Dr Kim writes that Myung Sung is a “form of living meditation that is active, dynamic and woven into our everyday lives. It is a form of meditation that helps us to see ourselves, and therefore the world, more clearly”.
In this episode, we talk about the 8 Keys of Myung Sung with particular focus on Key 2: The True Right Correct Method, Key 3: Stop Being Drunk on One’s Own Thoughts and Key 6: Change Your Reality for the Better. Dr. Kim shares her wealth of knowledge that was passed down from her father. In this episode, we talk about how we can apply Myung Sung in our own lives, how all of it is connected and how you can use these principles to create the reality you desire. Be sure to listen to the end where Dr. Kim talks about setting your mind and your intention and plugging into the Tao. I hope you find this episode inspiring as you continue on your path of self-discovery.

Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Andrew Davis
“Content builds relationships. Relationships are built on trust. Trust drives revenue.”
https://youtu.be/NjcXA3y3iqk
Check Out These Highlights:
I love this quote! Building relationships through trust are mandatory to be successful in business!
As I look back to 2020 and review all the changes that occurred rapidly, like many business owners I too needed to pivot hard and fast!
I created an entirely new division within my company. One that offers businesses growing sales results, and sales and business coaching, via the digital world and zoom. To my surprise many of the lessons I had learned being in business 20 years of offering live training, coaching, speaking, networking, etc., all hold true in the digital world too.
The funny thing is, my strength is in helping businesses make more money, grow their business and client base all without being icky, sleazy, or manipulative. Digital messaging, marketing, lead magnets – not my jam!
So what did I do? I reached out to my vast network and asked for help and was so fortunate to meet my guest. Working with him has helped me craft my messaging that represents me, not generic marketing scripting. He helped me with my messaging and content for my free 90-minute workshop. The results have been extraordinary!

Connie’s motivational quote today is by – Katharine Paine
“The moment you make a mistake in pricing, you’re eating into your reputation or your profits.”
https://youtu.be/WijR3BZYL78
Check Out These Highlights:
When I started my business 20 years ago, I had no idea how to price my offers or write a proposal to spotlight the value the client would get from my services.
It was scary. The little voice in my head was very loud telling me I should discount my prices since I had just started my business. I bet this sounds familiar to many business owners who just started their business or have been in business just a few years.
The funny thing is, when I started my business, it wasn’t like I didn’t know what I was doing. On the contrary, I was an expert in sales for the previous 20 years. So why did I feel like a fraud and afraid to charge my fees?
Fear of rejection, Imposter Syndrome, my negative record player getting the best of me. It was really all of the above!
So what did I do? I sought help from a business owner who had been in business for over a decade. The reality is when we discount our prices, we devalue what we bring to the table or leave money on the table without realizing it.
This is one of my favorite topics to discuss. Being a sales expert, leaving money on the table, and not serving our clients to our fullest ability is not an option for me or my clients. This type of thinking stops today!!!

Craig Weiler is a parapsychology journalist who in his daytime life runs a successful small construction business. Craig began his spiritual path during the New Age movement, teaching and practicing psychic healing. He doesn’t follow any particular group of teachings, but rather he explores a very westernized mixture of science and spirituality. And he, like so many of us, sees the ongoing stonewalling of the truth by mainstream science as a terrible and tragic problem for all of humanity. Craig’s terrific book from England’s esteemed and prestigious White Crow Books is called Psi Wars: Ted, Wikipedia, and the Battle for the Internet. It was first published in 2013, and it’s out now in a new edition. Craig is the science editor for Paranormal Daily News, which can be found at paranormaldailynews.com. This is his second Seek Reality appearance.
Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick author of the final book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which suggests that by observing our inner soul energy and merging that with the challenges of the physical world, we can achieve a peaceful purposeful and healthy life beyond the present challenges of political economic and societal issues, to return to our natural soul state of being, which is eternal and joyful. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Gayle Kimball PhD the Nautilus award winning author of 20 books including Essential Energy Tools and today we will discuss her new trilogy of books Mysteries of Healing Reality and Knowledge Beyond the Senses.
As listeners of Healing From Within Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and insights into the metaphysical world of energy in an effort to understand Who we are?, Where we come? from and how to improve our time in the physical world as we transcend challenges fears and remember the capacity we have to create with our thoughts and actions a world that shines brightly with hope compassion and for the evolution of soul and human life.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within we will explore with Dr. Gayle Kimball through her informative trilogy which offers personal reflections and insights from many of the leading figures in the modern scientific community who as are those throughout the world finally awakening to a deeper understanding of consciousness the brain-mind connection and the ultimate healing force of our free will.
When Sheryl asks Gayle to think back to her earliest beginnings her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown them or others the lifestyle values and interests they might pursue as an adult she immediately reflects on her mother who discussed and took her to a scientific healing community which allowed her the freedom to use her imagination and thoughts to explore openly the world of spiritual energy.
Gayle tells us how this trilogy came to be and how it may offer a clear understanding of the nature of human and spiritual connections.
Dr. Kimball writes, “Many of our scientific beliefs are limited in that they can’t account for the evidence that consciousness exists beyond the brain. The dominant materialist paradigm denies the power of spirit, the miracles of mind and feelings over matter, unconscious access to information, and the possibility of other dimensions beyond what our physical senses tell us—including life after death. The dominant worldview is like the Flatland novel published in 1884 about a two-dimensional world. When the hero first discovers a three-dimensional place, he is only able to see a flat circle. When he sees more and reports back on his discovery, he’s persecuted. It’s also like the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes where the crowd applauds the lie that the naked emperor is wearing beautiful new robes until a small boy has the courage to speak the truth. The dominant worldview often ridicules those with the vision to see other dimensions beyond Flatland, while visionary scientists see the denial of anything but the physical as dogma that ignores extensive research and inhibits our access to subtle information. Courageous scientists, physicians, and psychologists are creating consciousness.
This trilogy Mysteries of Healing Reality Knowledge Beyond the Senses explores the scientist’s life stories and their influences on their beliefs and personal courage, along with their understandings of our purpose as humans and how the universe really works.”
Dr. Kimball shares the amazing insights of 65 metaphysical experts and says she could identify with what Larry Dossey pointed out; “It takes a rabble-rouser to actually develop the courage” to take on the establishment. He added that most peer-reviewed medical journals won’t touch a person on topics like the efficacy of prayer in healing. Like these visionary scientists, curiosity and truth-telling motivate me to point out that the Emperor is naked, there are multiple dimensions and we have access to information and guidance from beyond the physical senses and on their beliefs and personal courage, along with their understandings of our purpose as humans and how the universe really works.
The scientists are often spiritual rather than religious, and many went through an adolescent rebellion against religious dogma. More of them have a Jewish background than would be predicted by the small percentage of Jews in the world population. Jeffrey Mishlove interviewed over a thousand visionary scientists for his video show “New Thinking Allowed.” He reported, “I’ve discovered that quite a number of prominent people in parapsychology have a Jewish background. Jews are a tiny minority but Jewish people are prominent in every cutting edge activity in which I’ve ever been involved. I would say 95% of the people who explore these areas scientifically do so because like me, they have had powerful personal experiences. The other 5 to 10% do it out of intellectual curiosity.”
Sheryl as a Reiki Master Energy Teacher and medium states that as a Jew her family didn’t have an interest in the Kabballah or the ancient mystical Essene group of healers and visionaries who believed in the After Life angels and many dimensions of life beyond. long Sheryl as a sensitive child sensed there was so much more to life and beyond, though the grown-ups in her life seemed only to be interested in the physical world and what could be seen and appreciated materially. At a young age she saw that the answers she was seeking were not in the religious structured practices of a group. Sheryl has found her spiritual path and ability to connect to Universal Source through meditation and consistent effort to pay attention and try to serve the good of all. She has experienced remote viewing spiritual communication using the energy of the Universe in her healing practice and as directed by Spirit has written a trilogy of books. Finding God is a personal journey and understanding our soul energetic life force is experienced personally as well.
Les Lancaster explained, “the combination of the value placed on learning, the leanings towards mysticism, the eschatological idea of promoting a golden age to come, and the pressures of being in exile was hugely formative for Jews entering the modern era. This is a potent mix that breeds pioneers.
We live now in the most challenging times but can apply mental and physical tools to stay centered and calm. Meditation music walking and being in nature finding people who resonate in a higher vibrational energy which simply means they have conquered many of the lower emotions of greed jealousy anger hatred and wish to emit their knowledge and joy in life to others and to serve the highest good of all. By being aware of your immense soul energy and eternal life force we are able to reach greater awareness of the best values within ourselves and rely on our inner wisdom, not the outside world to define our needs and goals.
Although researchers like Dean Radin* report on thousands of double-blind studies with results in some cases trillions of times beyond what you would expect by chance the findings are often dismissed as pseudoscience or “woo-woo.” Radin suggests, “What is needed for a new paradigm is a more comprehensive model of reality where consciousness becomes just as fundamental, if not more so, than materialism or the pull of outside world influences.
Idealism is very old describing the belief that reality is mentally constructed. Ancient Greek philosophers, such as Anaxagoras in 480 BCE, emphasized the primacy of “mind and consciousness” although his contemporary Plato’s idea of ideal forms is better known. Ancient Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism also recognized that the material world is maya, illusion, and through meditation, sages develop psi abilities called siddhis, such as clairvoyance or bilocation. More modern siddhis are described in Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda. The Bible is full of references to healing, prophecy, prayer, and what Paul calls “gifts of the Holy (Mysteries of Healing page
Having a definition of consciousness and seeking a clearer understanding of “being” pave the way for a more relaxed and enjoyable life experience! Courageous scientists, physicians, and psychologists are creating a new non-materialist scientific paradigm as they struggle to define consciousness. Professor Chris Roe explained, “We don’t have the remotest idea of what we mean by consciousness, ”but“working on the fringes of the anomalies starts to give us answers.” He has the courage to put his head “above the parapet and say the evidence is quite strong,” so he has moved from trying to prove “psi” to researching the process of how it works. “Psi” refers to anomalous extraordinary experiences.
Shamini Jain defines consciousness as the “source and substrate of creation. It is beyond mind, emotion and the physical. It’s what gives rise to the physical.” A useful book is Conscious: A Brief Guide to the Fundamental Mysteries of the Mind by Annaka Harris. The visionary scientists say consciousness doesn’t originate in the brain and they use synonyms like “One Mind, spirit, energy, the Force, matrix, hologram, meaning fields, biofield, cosmic intelligence, information, pan psychism, beyond space and time, substrate, non-physical web, spiritual computer, and fifth dimension.” Its basic language is mathematics and patterns like fractals. This understanding implies there is another dimension beyond space and time, which may enable psi phenomena like clairvoyance, precognition, and distant healing.
Sheryl says as a sensitive but skeptic for most of her earlier life she uses clairvoyance precognition and distant healing and is a Reiki Master Energy Teacher and medium who accesses this connection to higher creative eternal intelligent life force or what is described here as consciousness. In her beginning work, development and practice, the words time and space kept repeating itself to her, she believes it was so she could finally accept the eternal nature of soul life. And to raise her vibration to higher awareness and higher consciousness so she could use her talents to help others especially during the challenging times our nation and world are experiencing now. There is no past present future. All of our experiences are happening simultaneously and we can in dreams or outer body situations be in different dimensions of our life. It is like when a person has a near death experience and is able to tell you of what was going on during the event when he or she was in between worlds and not in their physical body .
Many spiritual leaders talk of a deeper understanding of consciousness, the brain mind connection and the ultimate healing force of our free will. These intertwined thoughts are a process towards self -realization.
Sheryl has discovered that quite simply the brain is the connection to our physical reality and needs, while the Mind or “Super Mind” is the connection to Universal Source or intelligence the divine or God and higher consciousness where our soul energy resides even when we are having a physical life.
What then is reality? Is there more than what we can know from our fives senses? How does healing occur? These questions are all intertwined into an understanding of who we are as spiritual beings having a phyiscal life perhaps projected by our energetic thoughts. We have come to know our powerful thoughts words and actions can create our reality, and by learning to monitor or direct positive thoughts over negativity, can improve life immensely. Manifesting is not a magical concept but a reality if we can master our energetic thoughts and know ourselves and others as the magnificent potential of the creative force.
Reality is not what we think it is-that’s what I learned from the visionary scientists. Common sense erroneously tells us that we live in a solid material world, that atoms are like billiard balls with definite locations, and time is a one-directional arrow. This is all false. Physicist Max Planck said in 1931, “I have spent my entire life studying atoms and molecules and I’m here to tell you that they don’t exist.” He explained in his book The New Science that there is no matter as such because atoms vibrate, and are held together by a force that indicates a “conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter,” thus, matter is derived from consciousness. The materialist belief is that all information comes from the physical senses via the brain, although many people experience ESP, telepathy, a precognitive dream or intuition, awareness of being stared at, or a dramatic near-death experience (NDE) that reveals other dimensions of life, as it did for neurosurgeon Eben Alexander during his near death experience due to meningitis. Animals also have these abilities, as evidenced in Rupert Sheldrake’s research on dogs that are aware of when their person will come home, even at an unexpected time.
Often to be a change maker or visionary we might encounter friction, doubt, even violent negativity due to fear or ignorance. In exploring the personal background of the scientists formulating this non-materialistic paradigm that expands human potential we find out they possess great courage. They are courageous because in many ways the truth has been proven to them, whether in information received through dreams, meditation, a near death experience, or other mystical events. Once you live in this reality and state of awareness there is no turning back, and there is such joy in the knowledge of Consciousness surviving physical death, that no one could make a believer stop true knowingness.
There is indeed as all these seekers find, other dimensions or a world of energy and life that allows for extraordinary abilities, and these people who explore the nature of divine life are aware of this force of creative eternal life often, interacting on a very intimate and personal level with life forces that exist beyond this physical plane and life. Call it the creative force, Universal Energy or Universal Source God, the divine, guides teachers’ higher vibrational beings, angels, souls of people who you knew In this time and place or elsewhere, but it is all one and the same.
Psychic remote viewers led by Russell Targ in the Star Gate government programs during the Cold War sketched secret Soviet missile silos, a huge new secret Soviet submarine, the location of a downed Russian military plane before it was discovered by the Soviets in North Africa, and drew targets before they were even selected. The remote viewers were only given numbers with no hint about the target, paid attention to their perceptions, and drew pictures of the target while in their offices. Stephan Schwartz worked with remote viewers to discover archeological places such as Cleopatra’s Palace and the Lighthouse of Pharos—one of the seven wonders of the ancient world—as well as sunken ships and a lost Mayan temple. Working in the military as a remote viewer, Paul H. Smith found the location of drug contraband in a huge container ship while working in his office and suggests that remote viewers also could be used in therapy to explore the roots of psycho-logical problems. Medical intuitive Caroline Myss’ well-known work with Dr. Norm Shealy in his medical practice can be considered a form of remote viewing of a stranger’s body.
It follows from materialism that death ends our awareness, but rigorous triple-blind experiments with mediums who accurately communicate with disembodied spirits are conducted by Ph.D.s Julie Beischel* (Windbridge Institute), Gary Schwartz (University of Arizona), Chris Roe (University of Northampton), and others. Over 2,500 well-documented cases of children who remember their past lives were collected by Ian Stevenson and Ed Kellyat the University of Virginia. The children shared facts descriptions and knowledge that could be substantiated about people and places they talked about and there was not way they could have been privy to any of the information.
Sheryl tells Gayle that at a workshop years ago with Stephan Schwartz the group engaged in a remote viewing exercise. An object was taken by two people and we had to get information on the place where they went….Sheryl in meditation was able to see that it was in a place with a circular driveway and a doorway with a sign above that read “Enter At Your Own Risk” and inside was a chapel with rounded seating, and people were singing so Sheryl concluded it was a temple or church and indeed, It turned out I was correct. As an empathic intuitive medium Sheryl helps people rediscover their soul energy and life plan by doing readings with Spirit so they can confirm they are on the right life path and can feel confident about necessary choices and actions. Sheryl also helps people remember they are soul beings having a physical life at the moment and if they get in touch with their inner intuitive thoughts, they can create a healthier happier life experience.
The old paradigm which is falling away now, values logic and analytical thinking but is uncomfortable with emotions and the content of the unconscious, while the multi-dimensional approach includes what intuition and dreams reveal from the deeper mind. Larry Burk writes about people who accurately diagnose their own diseases, such as cancer, by paying attention to their dreams. Getting their doctors to pay attention to these dreams was often problematic, or actually led to death that perhaps could have been avoided if the dream diagnosis was taken seriously.
Sheryl says that she often have coincidences and connections to my esteemed guests and in regard to that paragraph have interviewed Larry Burke’s co-author Kathleen O’Keefe Kanavos who actually had cancer and keep going to doctors until they located it and saved her life. As Sheryl said before she did remote viewing with Stephan Schwartz and works somewhat in the style of Edgar Cayce a healer and prophet who died in 1945 also mentioned by Gayle. Like Cayce in meditation she receives messages from Spirit to offer helpful healing of soul needs, not always of the body . Sheryl who has great respect for Edgar Cayce mentioned in this book she has met Edgar Cayce’s grandson and had a soul reading based on Cayce’s thousands of readings put into computerized messages and still used to offer the wisdom of Universal Source to those who require it. It was right on target for what she needed answered and very helpful.
We go on to have some real super synchronicity here, Gayle writes, “It’s helpful to learn to pay attention to seemingly unrelated synchronistic events, especially what Gary Schwartz* calls “super synchronicity” when we experience six or more related events. They suggest that some form of helpful guidance exists and that we can learn how to access it more deliberately. Sheryl has also met Gary Schwartz.
Gail goes on to mention visionary psychoanalyst Carl Jung who developed the concept of synchronicity when his patient was describing a dream about a scarab beetle as a similar beetle appeared on the window. Dawson Church gives many more examples in his chapter on synchronicity in his book Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality is a meaningful coincidence of two or more events, where something other than the probability of chance is involved.
As we grow on a spiritual path, it happens more often, suggesting a subtle intelligence at play. As Dean Radin states, “Materialism entails a certain set of assumptions that are perfectly in tune for understanding the physical world. But those assumptions (as we understand them today) cannot easily account for all aspects of reality, especially consciousness and psychic phenomena.”
Readers of this trilogy of Mysteries of Reality Healing and Knowledge Beyond the Senses might want to take away with them after reading your books that perhaps remembering the Greek letter from so long ago that allows an understanding and acceptance of things beyond our senses a higher type of conscious and energy being that is eternal and works quite differently than than the phyiscal world. Psi: A Greek letter used to refer to anomalous experiences, parapsychology and the paranormal. Dean Radin’s list of psi categories is: Healing at a Distance, Mind-Matter Interaction (PK or psychokinesis), Physiological Correlations at a Distance, Precognition & Presentiment, Survival of Consciousness after Death, and Telepathy and ESP.
The power of the mind or connection to higher Source or creative force, unlike the brain which relates to the physical world and a temporary life, is the connection to the intelligence and guidance of the Collective Consciousness.
We thank Dr. Gayle Kimball author of the trilogy Mysteries of Healing Realities and Knowledge Beyond the Senses for sharing a lifetime pursuit of finding out Who we are? Where we come from? and how to use the energy of our inner soul essence to further advance the spiritual scientific revolution or evolution we are now fully involved in. To change our world, we must first change ourselves by first recognizing that our thoughts are creating our reality and we must take responsibility, personally and collectively to engage worthy thoughts and activities and learn be at peace with life itself.
In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Sheryl has been delighted to revisit many of the scientists healers and visionaries who she has either met or interviewed over the last twenty five years and as we know from Sheryl’s first book in the trilogy: Life is No Coincidence The Life and Afterlife Connection she considers all who have awakened to the greatest truth of reality consciousness energy healing and the infinite wisdom of a loving expanding evolving Universal source of intelligence and infinite life are truly blessed to know who they are and to walk this time in this physical life without fear of death seeking hope joy positivity, and to serve and lead, with integrity and courage. Gayle Kimball author of a trilogy of Mysteries of Reality Healing and Knowledge Beyond the Senses has travelled the same road and concluded beyond the shadow of a doubt that so much exists beyond the phyiscal world and life.
Gayle writes, “The three books in the Mysteries Trilogy explore how consciousness shapes reality, enables healing and provides access to knowledge from beyond the physical senses. These trailblazing scientists conclude that we are more than our physical bodies with more potential than we realize and that science needs to expand to account for consciousness. The new science embraces all of science, but it’s reframing it to have a bigger perspective. This means that we can make sense of data that doesn’t fit and we can make new predictions that can be tested, confirmed, or disconfirmed. It’s an expansion of science that reverses and changes the way you experience what you know,” explained Gary Schwartz. He added, “This perspective turns everything on its head. It’s like realizing that the sun no longer revolves around the earth” and encourages reuniting science and spirituality (as discussed in Edward Kelly et al.’ Beyond Physicalism: Toward Reconciliation of Science and Spirituality). The scientists are concerned that the prevailing materialist paradigm limits our abilities and has devastating consequences, including polluting our planet. As youth climate activists say, there is no planet B.”
Gayle and Sheryl would have listeners know that in search of truth one finds an enormous amount of free will, freedom, peace, love, and the path to really enjoy relationships, nature, and the spiritual aspects of ourselves, for in actuality, that is all one and we are energy swirling through endless time and space. No past present or future, just the eternal life force of creation and it is a wonderful life.

Today’s Guest

The World’s First Vagina Superhero! Today Laurie talks with Ariel White, the founder of My Little Yoni. My Little Yoni is the world’s first vagina superhero. It was designed to share comprehensive sex-ed and vulva care with parents and kids of all ages. Today is all about making the tough conversations that parents need to navigate both easier and fun. As a teacher and love coach Ariel has worked with students from over 30 countries.
Should you be hearing or watching this episode of Conversations with Mother Earth from anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, then soon you will possibly be treated with your first frigid, winter frost. And, if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, then perhaps you are already starting to feel the scorching rays from the summer sun higher in the sky. In either case, you will want to seek shelter indoors, in the comfort of your home.
However, home is not only a place where we shelter from the weather. It is also a place where our memories – be they joyful or unhappy moments – are shared and sheltered with our loved-ones. Above all, home is ideally where we feel safe.
Yet, as we discovered a few episodes back in our conversation with the courageous war refugee and social activist Muhammad Najam, over eighty million fellow human citizens do not have a home, thus denying so many of their basic human need – and what ought to be a human right – to a shelter, protection and a sense of dignity.

My today’s guest is Kria Djoyoadhiningrat, an architect and leads a Foundation called Slumfighters International, based in the Netherlands and operating across the world. Kria and I discuss what home means to us humans, what role culture plays in longevity of buildings, what unexpected obstacles might occur when constructing with natural materials and how slums evolve.
It is a Conversation that connects continents. Tune in…
Russia and China plan to take over the world. A weak, progressive believes the United States is better served by conciliation, we should not get involved unless attacked. China and Russia recruit Iran and North Korea to join the them as they become the “ Four Friends.” The plan is to attack and take what they want on November 10, two days after the election and 70 days before the new president is sworn in.
However, Katheen Hopkins is elected as the first female President of the United States. She intends to save America by being steadfast and returning the red, white, blue to superpower status. Things could get messy, but the battle to retain freedom is always worth the cost.
As a nation, we will stand strong, and our soldiers will do whatever it takes to beat back the enemy. We will be active in the military arena, no longer satisfied by pacification. It is time to join the battle with a new leader at the helm and return America to its original glory even at the peril of another world war. Bullies will herd us like cattle if we do not stand up and fight. We cannot repeat our mistakes for that is… INSANITYTOO.

This week my guest is Daniel Hodge from Thrive Lot and we are talking about autodidactism, entrepreneurship and empowerment. Daniel and I have an expansive conversation about thinking outside of the box, how learning doesn’t have to come from an institution and how you can learn things faster than you might think that makes a difference in your life.
You are never too old to start learning something and you don’t have to get a degree to do something and then have a career from it! Entrepreneurship is a true example of taking an idea and bringing it to life; creating what you speak!
Daniel grew up and began his autodidactism at an early age. His notion of reality and its malleability were manifested through homeschooling and a free-range childhood. Whether through drawing, inventing, reading, writing, playing music, singing, and finding infinite ways to stoke his creative fire, he never experienced boredom until attending public school. In high school, Daniel decided he wasn’t interested in status games, and instead focused on developing his athletic prowess, balanced with a pursuit of the arts.
His undergraduate studies led him to explore Philosophy, Economics, and Political Theory. Obsessed with why humans think the way we do, and what cultural, socioeconomic, and political priors serve to influence and underpin our thinking, he worked on developing his analytical and critical thinking skills.
Using this framework as a springboard, he leapt at the opportunity to pursue a Masters in Architecture at the University of Tennessee. Professional titles were never interesting to him, and neither were careers (which seemed more like compartmentalizations of the human experience). Through Architecture, he observed the interconnectedness between epistemological and creative expressions of humanity through time. In the Spring of 2015, Daniel traveled to Rome, Italy, to spend a semester pursuing his graduate studies at the University of Arkansas Rome Center. It is here that he discovered his passion for photography, historic preservation, and ecological issues. From an experiential perspective, this served to influence the direction of his Master’s thesis, which focused on the trajectory of Architecture as a profession, especially its limitations.
Using all of the design tools at his disposal, he fell in love with the tools we develop and use to meet our needs. As a designer himself, Daniel realized the significance of software and its efficacy in application. Coincidentally, his brother Micah was exploring computer science and programming during this time. Growing up playing games on computers and consoles, Daniel set out to design a game that would become foundational to what lay ahead. Working with his brother, they built and released their first iOS app: Light Traveler.
Fast forward to now, Daniel has designed and built over 30 websites and apps, along with a half dozen architectural installations and projects, including a 30,000 Sq. Ft. Coworking facility in the heart of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. He founded three businesses and helped friends and clients catalyze another ten. His love of systems led him to work briefly with the Tennessee Valley Corridor, a nonprofit focused on STEM-focused public-private partnerships.
While all of these projects and experiences were important to growing his skill stack, business acumen, and design accolades, none of them presented the opportunity to synthesize his various talents into a streamlined purpose. That is, until his friend Justin West introduced the idea of Thrive Lot. Thrive Lot is an online platform that connects you with vetted service providers to transform traditional yards into beautiful, edible landscapes and forest gardens through ecological systems design. You can learn more at https://www.thrivelot.com/ and connect with Daniel at @thrivelot on Instagram and Facebook and @danielhhodge on Twitter.

We are going to get rid of blockers that squish positive leadership growth. This bonus episode is critical.
It is time to get rid of old-timey thinking.
Learning is for everyone.
Limited technology of the past reproduced constrained understanding and contributed to idioms metaphors that support fixed mindset thinking. It is time to take steps and be active by applying what we have learned. Learning is a kinetic activity. I invite you to take a risk and be involved in helping your mental forces grow.
Father Nathan Castle is a Dominican priest who lives and works in a community of Dominican men and women serving the University of Arizona in Tucson. So it’s hard to imagine anyone who is a more traditional Catholic! But Nathan Castle is also a gentle and very spiritual man, and just over twenty years ago he was recruited by elevated people not in bodies to do spirit rescue work.
His first book was called Afterlife, Interrupted – Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over. And now his second book of amazing true stories of rescuing people who didn’t successfully transition at death has been published!And I was amazed to find that everything in it is completely consistent with what I had learned in doing decades of afterlife research. This is Father Nathan’s fourth Seek Reality appearance. He can be reached at nathan-castle.com

It’s Thanksgiving Week and it is time to give thanks. Some Americans may say give thanks for what, but Doc Holliday answers that question and more on this week’s show.
Before Doc talks about giving thanks he re-introduces the hypocrisy of the democrats by once again bringing up the SALT tax exemptions and how the democrats in the house just passed a bill that will give massive tax breaks for the super rich.
So learn more about giving thanks and listen for the clip from Fox Business News about the ironic tax break for the super rich promoted and passed by the house democrats! Happy thanksgiving! Click on now!
Connie’s motivational quote for today is by – Jim Rohn
“If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.”

Check Out These Highlights:
Recently I was asked if I was afraid or second-guessed myself when I opened my business 20 years ago. I had never thought about fear as part of my decision-making process. I think I felt that I would work hard, as I had always done, and would figure it out as I moved forward, so failure wasn’t an option. Now looking back, I’m not sure it was a naïve perspective, or it was pure determination and confidence in myself.
Don’t misunderstand, I took that leap of faith very seriously and had a business plan in place, money in the bank, and a clear vision of what I wanted to build. I had 2 babies at home, a mortgage, and my income was needed for us to survive. Things didn’t happen by accident. Throughout my life, anytime I chose to create something new, I developed a plan that is fluid and can change and be modified as needed, as I define this new creation.
Is starting a business for everyone? In the next half hour, my guests and I are going to discuss side hustles and how to create a legacy.
