2021 Will Be A Time Of Rebirth And Revitalization Says Donna Louis, Award Winning Author Of Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God


Louis is the multi-award-winning author of three inspirational Christian books. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for our happiness and joy.

2020 was a year in which we experienced not only a pandemic, but also shocking social unrest, devastating unemployment, political divisiveness and changes we might never have imagined just a few years ago. If 2020 was a season, it would be winter - and a long, harsh one at that. Thankfully, no matter how brutal and bone-chilling, all winters must necessarily end in spring.

For many of us, springtime is our favorite time of year, as we can finally leave the numbing cold and the dreadful darkness behind us and move at last into the warmth and the light. Springtime is a time of renewed energy, growth, expansion, rebirth and revitalization.

Springtime is not just a change of season. It can also be seen as a state of mind. That reinvigorating state of mind is one of the subjects covered in Donna Louis' new inspirational Christian book, 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God.'

Louis presents the idea that we experience "seasons" in life, in much the same way as nature experiences seasons, with periods of both growth and decline. When we understand that, we come to see that a period of decline is not something permanent, but instead merely foreshadows a period of growth. The book, somewhat similar to the books found in 'Chicken Soup For The Soul' collections, is highly motivational and packed with powerful and engaging stories that give the reader examples of illuminating situations drawn from the lives of both Biblical-era and modern day people. She recently had this to say:

“When you are in the winter season of your life the best thing you can do is start a fire,” Louis stated. “Some of us have been fortunate to have been in the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts when we were younger. One thing they taught you is how to start a fire. There are three components to starting a campfire: The Tinder–The Kindling–The Fuel.

“Now for our purposes we will refer to the tinder which is wood and say it is the Bible. We will call the kindling prayer, and finally we will call the fuel praise and worship. We have the capability to start a fire any time, every day, even several times a day. We are encouraged to do this from the Book of Joshua: ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”–Joshua 1:8.

“It is really remarkably simple what we need to do to remove all of the plagues that are surrounding us. God said it himself in 2 Chronicles 7:14: ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Louis is also the author of 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs. Wilderness', which delves deeply into the timeless human quest for wisdom. As all Christians know, the primary purpose of the Biblical Book of Proverbs is to teach wisdom. The Book of Proverbs provides intellectual depth, insights and exceptional wisdom on how to live a meaningful, joyful and tranquil life by honoring and respecting God as omnipotent.

'Book Of Proverbs' discusses all chapters in Proverbs 1-31 and brings insight, clarity, and basic meaning to several verses in each chapter. It clarifies why wisdom is not only essential, but mandatory in life, if one hopes to live a blessed life, versus living destitute, empty, or feeling lost or hopeless.

Louis has won a number of industry awards. She was chosen as the winner in the 2018 Top Female Author Awards in the Religion/Philosophy/Spiritual category. Louis was chosen from an international field of contestants by a panel of judges. She was also a recent winner in the 2018 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards.

Louis' recent wins follow three awards in the 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards contest (2015, 2016 and 2017), and two nominations in the Top Female Authors Awards.

Donna Louis' first book, 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' helps readers explore miracles both past and present. The book explores biblical miracles that took place while Jesus was here on earth. She then references with miracles that take place on a daily basis in the modern world. She separates these miracles into four categories and presents insightful examples of each type, taken directly from the Bible.

Louis knows her subject well, as she has personally experienced four miracles. As the result of those life-altering experiences, she began an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. In her book, she attempts to expand upon and explain both the purpose and the direction of those miracles.

'Miracles' has received rave reviews from readers. One review called it "amazing, uplifting and inspirational". Another stated, "I was profoundly impressed by the writing."

The Truth: How To Be Resilient And Prosper, Regardless Of Social Unrest, Unemployment, Political Upheaval And A Pandemic By Positive Psychologist And Film Maker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein


Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is an award winning Selfie Filmmaker, Positive Psychologist and podcaster who helps us overcome anxiety and alienation through multiple media channels.

According to The American Psychological Association's 2020 Stress In America Survey, we are experiencing a "national mental health crisis". Small wonder, as 2020 gave us a pandemic, racial and social unrest akin to the 1960's, record unemployment and business closings and, as the icing on the proverbial cake, a seditious attack on the US government the likes of which has not been seen since 1812. Is there any possibility that we can recover? Positive Psychologist and award winning film maker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein believes we can. Dr. Holstein comments:

"As I watched in horror the breach of our sacred Capitol building in Washington, on January 6th, 2021, I was shocked beyond words. As I have begun to process this terrible devastation I've begun to realize how fragile democracy can be if the people who are privileged to live in a democracy don't fully understand how it operates and aren't willing to be part of the democratic experience.

"As a practicing psychologist of many years, with an emphasis on the positive in life, and as a filmmaker in recent years, I can talk to you from those two perspectives about some of what it takes to live in harmony in a democracy that is also in a pandemic. Here are some of the steps we must take:

1. Understand the psychological, social and medical needs of our young and provide education and a safe environment for them in every aspect of their lives. That includes home, neighborhood, schooling, daycare, etc.

2. Provide mental health care for all of our citizens when needed.

3. Teach democracy, as a serious subject, all through the educational process.

4. Protect our climate and the earth so life can perpetuate.

"For many of us, the above list can appear to be overwhelming. That's okay, because as a psychologist I can say to you, 'you don't have to do all of it' In fact, you don't have to do much. All you have to do is stay aware of your talents, strengths and potential and learn to create positive purpose in your own life. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1. What are my talents?

2. What are my strengths?

3. What is my potential?

4. What would it take for me to start to follow my dream?

5. What can I do to serve humanity and myself just a bit more?

"Here are a few more suggestions, all based on positive psychology and the practice of good mental health.

1. A guide to the ‘Seven Gateways to Happiness' can be found at https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Gateways-Happiness-Barbara-Holstein-ebook/dp/B00K1RBFBU/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1610474913&sr=1-4. It may be a very helpful start for you, as you can focus on anyone of the Seven Gateways to get going.

2. Become a Pandemic Historian or a smart phone filmmaker during these turbulent times. Take your phone and interview people about how they are processing and living through the pandemic. Or just use your phone to lighten people's lives. Maybe you are making a short skit to upload to YouTube or TicTok or just to share with your family. Let me know if you upload to YouTube, as I may also be able to show off your work on www.selfiefilmmakers.com

3. If you really want to understand how we integrate our past into positive dreams and outcomes of our present and future, then I suggest you read my book 'THE ENCHANTED SELF, A Positive Therapy.

4. Resilience is the name of the game. It is what you must latch onto when you are down and when you have to remake some aspect of your life, often out of the blue. Abraham Lincoln comes to me as a great example: A few weeks after the death of his beloved son he had to get up, put on his boots and take his oath.

5. Look in the mirror at yourself. You are your best destiny. No one else alive has exactly your talents or abilities. Live up to them. After all everyone else is taken!”

Here's what's new in the Enchanted Self world: Many more wins for Dr. Holstein's Films, bringing the number of selections or awards at festivals to over 100.

The Pandemic interviews continue, done by Julia Gesner, a freshman in college, who will be making a documentary based on these interviews. A couple can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCAL8Ei2xuQ."

Dr. Holstein continues to branch out into the world of Zoom as some of her new film scripts are performed on the Zoom during the pandemic as dramatic readings.

Dr. Holstein continues to cheer up the world with her friend and producer of her films, Debbie Storz Higgins in their Old Time Radio show on Facebook and YouTube. You can find these shows on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/showcase/6832893. These videos are also available on Roku and Amazon Fire.

Month after month for the last few years Dr. Holstein has been winning award after award for her "selfies as drama" conceptual films - over 100 to date. These are not just selfie films. They have at their core positive psychology principles that only Dr. Holstein can bring to the table.

Dr. Holstein's cutting-edge presentations, most recently based on the Covid-19 pandemic issues, can be found on both YouTube, Vimeo and on the Roku channel and Amazon Fire TV, titled as 'The Enchanted Self Presents'.

The Selfie Showcase allows kids, teens, and young adults ages 13 to 18 to candidly express their concerns, worries, observations and possible solutions by creating selfie videos or films around important subjects, using a smartphone. Dr. Holstein's mission is to help rectify, in several ways, some of the issues young people face by giving them a chance to engage with others in meaningful ways about the anxiety and stress they must grapple with constantly.

Selected participants may appear on the Selfie Project Channel, available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3uaOTcYF70z5CpBh11VoUQ.

George Floyd Murder, Pandemic, Unemployment, Old Age, Poverty - How To Thrive In The Midst Of Overwhelming Adversity Is The Subject Of New Book By Award Winning Author Donna Louis


Louis is the multi-award-winning author of two Christian books, and the upcoming new book 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for our happiness and joy.

It is no small wonder that anxiety and depression levels are on the rise in the US. Civil unrest and division pervade our society on levels akin to the 1960's. George Floyd and Breonna Taylor represent but the tip of the iceberg. Unemployment has adversely affected a huge percentage of the population. In the midst of all of this we are forced to deal daily with the Covid-19 pandemic that has to date caused over 200,000 deaths in the US alone. While sickness is a possibility for many of us, old age is a virtual certainty.

All of this is enough to overwhelm anyone. So why is it that some people seem to be unaffected by all of this uncertainty and unrest? How is it that some people manage to maintain a positive attitude in the very midst of all of it, while the rest of us experience stress, tension, anxiety, disappointment, and frustration? Is it possible to not only survive, but to thrive in the very midst of such turmoil?

How we might do that is the subject of award-winning author Donna Louis' upcoming new book, 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'. Louis believes that we experience "seasons" in life, in much the same way as nature experiences seasons, with periods of both growth and decline. When we understand that, we come to see that a period of decline is not something permanent, but instead merely foreshadows a period of growth. The book, somewhat similar to the 'Chicken Soup For The Soul' collection, is highly motivational and packed with powerful and engaging stories that give the reader examples of illuminating situations drawn from the lives of both Biblical-era and modern day people. She recently had this to say:

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. As you can see when God created this world, he did it with seasons in mind. This was his intention, and this is the same way our lives are. We all go through seasons in our lives some euphoric and others despondent however we must remember that God is always with us. God told us fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. With this promise we can have confidence in knowing that whatever we are going through God will cause us to always triumph.

“The same way that God created trees in the Garden of Eden with all kinds of fruit that was good for us is the same way that God has created all manner of people black and white, the young who become old, rich and poor alike. We all can thrive in life no matter what obstacles may come our way. We must believe, have a vision, have faith, be hopeful always, have an attitude of gratitude, watch the words we speak, and trust God. Remember the Bible says I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. ‘The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.’ – Molière.”

Louis' latest published book, 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs. Wilderness' delves deeply into the timeless human quest for wisdom.

George Floyd, Covid-19, Unemployment, Rioting And Police Brutality - There Is But One Way We Can Thrive In America Today Says Award Winning Author Donna Louis


Louis is the multi-award-winning author of two Christian books, and the upcoming new book 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for our happiness and joy.

The world, and our lives here in the US, have been turned upside down it seems. We are faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, massive unemployment, and a broken economy. The murder of George Floyd and the shooting of Jacob Blake has caused a level of civil unrest that hearkens back to the 1960's. And all of it is happening at the same time. It is a period unlike any other in history.

Is it possible to maintain our sanity in the midst of all this? Of course, it is. It is possible not only to survive, but to thrive in the very midst of such turmoil. We can, given the right mindset, turn adversity into opportunity. It begins with our personal choices.

How we might do that is the subject of award-winning author Donna Louis' upcoming new book, 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'.

"Our world is changing so quickly it is inconceivable that we have strayed so far from Jesus," Louis stated. "Racism is at its highest height and this is not the way it should be. Peace is supposed to abound. This is what some of our greatest leaders spoke about. 'Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.' 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"We have George Floyd who was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin, who is now requesting that the charges be dropped arguing that George Floyd's alleged drug use was the reason why he died and not the inaccurate use of force by the officer. As if that was not enough, we are now dealing with the shooting of Jacob Blake that almost took his life. When does it stop? People are speaking up with massive protests, now major league sports are uniting and protesting as well. On Friday August 28, 2020 MLB celebrated the life of baseball great Jackie Robinson and released a statement about the death of Chadwick Boseman who portrayed Jackie Robinson in the movie “42.”

When asked about how he felt doing the movie about Jackie Robinson and the racism he endured Boseman said, “he took the role seriously, because he wanted "to do right by the family" and not disappoint Robinson's widow, Rachel Robinson. “ When asked about the racist language that Robinson had to suffer through Boseman said, "You do get angry," hearing it, and you do feel, in a slice of that reality, somewhat like he would feel. And it's an incredible amount of courage to deal with that." Jackie Robinson dealt with racism in 1947. This is 2020 and nothing has changed.

"There was a report in the news recently that a man in Springfield went into a Walmart and started hugging people and then told them they now have Covid-19. What is possessing God’s children to behave in the manner that we are? People are going through enough daily trying to survive with the unemployment issues hanging above our heads.

"Why have we lost our JOY? Jesus – Others – You. This is the way in which we were taught by Jesus to live our lives. We are to keep LOVE first and always love our fellow man. 'And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love'. – 1 Corinthians 13:13.

Pandemic, Racism, Unemployment And Lynchings - The Path To Peace And Meaningful Answers Can Be Found In The Book Of Proverbs Advises Award Winning Author Donna Louis

Louis is the multi-award-winning author of two Christian books, 'Miracles of Direction' and 'Book of Proverbs: Wisdom Vs Wilderness'. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for our happiness and joy.

America is in turmoil. Thousands upon thousands of people have died in the Covid-19 pandemic. Protest marches and rioting have occurred all over the US and abroad. Racism has taken the top position on nearly every news site as the result of the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and others. Unemployment is the highest it has been since the Great Depression.

Even lynching, most recently the case of Robert Fuller, has dominated headlines recently.

What can we do? We can take action to change what we can if we have the power to do so. We must live through the rest. The toll this takes on our collective mental health, not to mention the psychological states such events engender, is staggering. How do we find peace in the midst of such turmoil?

The Book of Proverbs never fails to supply meaningful answers to our most pressing problems. According to Donna Louis, award winning author of 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom Vs Wilderness, it is within the pages of the Book of Proverbs that we can find the path to lasting peace even in the most dire circumstances. Here we find no anemic solutions but instead, timeless wisdom that has provided authoritative guidance to mankind throughout the ages.

“Love is a simple four-letter word, but it appears that many consider this to be an insurmountable goal,” Louis stated. “Jesus said that the first commandment is to love God with all thy heart, soul, and mind. Then the second greatest commandment is to love thy neighbors as thyself. However, all we see is the exact opposite. People killing people because of race or sexual orientation, and a list of other atrocities. The divorce courts are full of people who stated when they married, they would be together for better or worst. We all need to go back to the source which is the Bible and follow what it says. It will never lead you astray. ‘Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7”

Louis' latest book, 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs. Wilderness' delves deeply into the timeless human quest for wisdom. As all Christians know, the primary purpose of the Biblical Book of Proverbs is to teach wisdom.

The United States, indeed the entire world, is experiencing a level of tension and strife unlike anything seen in recent history. The Covid-19 pandemic. Record unemployment. And now demonstrations all over the US as the result of the murder of George Floyd. Any one of these traumatic events alone could cause us to be anxious, depressed, fearful and angry. Today we are experiencing all of them simultaneously.

This is a colossal mental health challenge. Where can we turn for help? Award winning author Donna Louis believes that through exploring the wisdom found in the Book of Proverbs we can turn the adversity found in the world into an opportunity to get closer to God.

"In this present season of life," Louis stated, "we are all dealing with several distressing issues such as the Covid-19 virus, financial issues, immigration, election integrity and many others. However, the biggest wolf right now is racism."

"One would have thought that after people such as Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, and many others that this issue would have been conquered and in our distant past. However, that is untrue. It is staring us straight in the eyes like when you shoot a bullseye dart and it lands dead center. We are presently dealing with the unthinkable loss of life with George Floyd."

"And now we see demonstrations all over the US and worldwide in places such as these: Denmark Copenhagen, Barcelona Spain, Paris France, Paderborn Germany, Liverpool Great Britian, Idlib Syria, Sydney Australia, Berlin Germany, Amsterdam Netherlands, Athens Greece, Belguim Brussles, Toronto Canada, Mexico City Mexico, Istanbul Turkey, Milan Italy, Rio De Janiero, Tokoyo Japan, Cape Town South Africa and many more as the result of the murder of George Floyd.

"With all the emotional anguish, pain, tears, anger, and a host of other issues that is inside of us we need to remember that the battle is not ours but the Lord's. We are to pray and worship and leave it in the hands of God. We have the right to protest but it needs to be peaceful protesting like how it was with Martin Luther King Jr. We are not to sink to the levels of the ones we are trying to rise above and teach the values of love, humanity, peace, dignity, and a host of other things."

"Looting and burning down businesses are not the right things to do. Remember the phrase 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' These business owners have suffered enough with being closed for this Covid-19 issue. They are not the ones who had their knee on the neck of George Floyd for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, so do not punish them. Protest non-violently, pray, and worship."

Louis' latest book, 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs. Wilderness' delves deeply into the timeless human quest for wisdom. As all Christians know, the primary purpose of the Biblical Book of Proverbs is to teach wisdom. The Book of Proverbs provides intellectual depth, insights and exceptional wisdom on how to live a meaningful, joyful and tranquil life by honoring and respecting God as omnipotent.

The new release discusses all chapters in Proverbs 1-31 and brings insight, clarity, and basic meaning to several verses in each chapter. It clarifies why wisdom is not only essential, but mandatory in life, if one hopes to live a blessed life, versus living destitute, empty, or feeling lost or hopeless.

Louis has won a number of industry awards. She was recently chosen as the winner in the 2018 Top Female Author Awards in the Religion/Philosophy/Spiritual category. Louis was chosen from an international field of contestants by a panel of judges. She was also a recent winner in the 2018 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards.

Louis' recent wins follow three awards in the 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards contest (2015, 2016 and 2017), and two nominations in the Top Female Authors Awards.

Donna Louis' first book, 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' helps readers explore miracles both past and present. The book explores biblical miracles that took place while Jesus was here on earth. She then references with miracles that take place on a daily basis in the modern world. She separates these miracles into four categories and presents insightful examples of each type, taken directly from the Bible.

Louis knows her subject well, as she has personally experienced four miracles. As the result of those life-altering experiences, she began an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. In her book, she attempts to expand upon and explain both the purpose and the direction of those miracles.

'Miracles' has received rave reviews from readers. One review called it "amazing, uplifting and inspirational". Another stated, "I was profoundly impressed by the writing."

COVID-19 Fills Christian’s Hearts With Fear: In Response To Jesus’ Words Of Warning, Your Hearts Are In Your Bank Accounts

John the apostle reports that Jesus’ Words of Warning from Holy Week in 2019 came to pass during Lent in 2020 when COVID-19 filled Christian’s hearts with fear.

The COVID-19 pandemic sent unemployment claims skyrocketing to over 33,300,000. This surge in unemployment wiped away all the job gains since the 2009 recession in just one month. And the adjusted unemployment rate for the week ending May 1 of 19%, the DOL said, which "marks the highest level of the seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate in the history of the seasonally adjusted series." And now as the US Economy re-opens many Americans remain in fear of more COVID-19 deaths.

At his website https://dazzlinglight.org/, John the apostle reports that, “On Thursday January 20, 2005, I made my first trip to the Chapel on the Mount of Beatitudes tourist site in Galilee. As I entered the church, the sanctuary’s striking interior design and immaculate cleanliness brought me to a state of reverence and respect. I knelt at a prayer station, bowed my head, and then noticed a paper bag on the floor near my knees. I picked up the bag and saw written this message from Jesus: Open Doors – Ezekiel 7:12 – Isa. 29.

“Then during Holy Week in 2019, Jesus instructed me to send these Words of Warning to Christian Churches:

“The time is coming. The day is near when the business of Christianity will come to an end. And God’s punishment will fall upon all Christians.” Ezekiel 7:12. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 bankrupted Christianity.

“Christ’s Holy City in Rome is doomed! There will be weeping and wailing, and the whole city will be like an altar covered in blood.” Isaiah 29:1. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 desolated Vatican City.

“You claim to worship me, but your words are meaningless and your hearts are in your bank accounts.” Isaiah 29:13. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 filled Christian’s hearts with fear.

“When I return, the light will shine into your darkness and The Word of God will once again bring happiness to poor and humble people.” Isaiah 29:18-19. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 purged Christianity for Jesus Return on September 19, 2022.”

CNBC reported that, “More than three out of four Americans, 76%, fear the coronavirus COVID-19 will trigger an economic recession, according to a recent poll of over 2,000 U.S. adults conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of debt management app Tally.

“While concerns about a potential recession are high among all generations, about 59% of millennials (ages 24-39) polled say the current economic situation is prompting them to take steps to conserve their available pool of cash. The most common move: delaying major or non-essential purchases (44%). Putting the breaks on your spending is a good instinct, says Bobbi Rebell, a certified financial planner and host of the Financial Grownup podcast.

“Many millennials are making some less-than-great financial decisions right now. Roughly one in four, 23%, of millennials polled by Tally are making only the minimum payments on their credit card bills and other debt, and about 15% are relying more on credit cards for routine expenses.

“Even though interest rates are low, and it may be tempting to horde your cash instead of paying off your debts, don’t do it, Rebell says. The best way to protect your finances, especially when the markets are going crazy, is to actually eliminate high-interest debt such as credit card balances. This will cut out any interest you may be paying and could, in the long run, net you some extra cash in your budget for daily costs including groceries, rent and gas.

“If you are struggling to pay bills, reach out to your bank or the creditor directly. Capital One, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo have all said they are willing to work with customers impacted by the coronavirus. For longer-term solutions, many financial companies also offer hardship plans, which allow consumers to sign up for some combination of a payment schedule with lower interest rates, smaller minimum payments or lower fees and penalties.

You may be able defer utility bills through the energy bill assistance programs most companies offer, including major providers such as ComEd, Duke Energy, FirstEnergy and PSE&G.

“76% of Americans worry coronavirus will trigger a recession—here are steps to take if you’re already being impacted” CNBC March 17, 2020 by Megan Leonhardt

Schoolkids Win Against Corporate Giants In World Class Food Competition - Create Jobs For Adults And College Scholarships


The City Kidz Food Science Programs’ Viva Vanilla ice cream recently won second place in ‘World Dairy Expo Product Championship Contest’. In so doing they will create jobs for adults in the Jacksonville Florida area, along with college scholarship opportunities nationwide

In regards to ice cream, most kids could be called ‘experts’. The term expert is usually used to denote ‘experts at eating ice cream.’ Recently however a group of young people demonstrated a talent for creating world-class ice cream. Not only did they create one great ice cream, they beat out nearly all the ice cream manufacturing corporations in one of the largest professional competitions in the US. And, in so doing, they have created real job opportunities for residents of the Jacksonville Florida area and college scholarship opportunities for students nationwide.

City Kidz Food Science Educational Lab is regarded as one of the best programs of its kind in the United States. The program teaches students food science, and takes them from the classroom to supermarket shelves. On October 4, 2011, one of their creations, Viva Vanilla ice cream, won second place in ‘World Dairy Expo Product Championship Contest’. Of the 705 corporate contestant entries submitted, the City Kidz Viva Vanilla won second place in the Philly Style vanilla ice cream category. This was the first submission ever created by high school students in the contest. This is no small accomplishment, in that The World Dairy Expo Product Championship Contest is the largest judging contest of it’s kind in North America.

The new ice cream will be sold in local supermarkets throughout Jacksonville, Florida, creating manufacturing related jobs in the area. But these kids are not going to stop at just mere just job creation. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the ice cream will benefit a college scholarship fund for students nationwide.

“I am extremely excited,” stated Pastor Clinton Bush, program director, “about our student’s recent accomplishment at the World Dairy Expo Competition to go from classroom to supermarket shelves to raise monies to offset their college costs. To create a national educational endowment fund for all qualifying students nationally, and to put American Citizens back to work by creating manufacturing jobs, is a great achievement.”

The Viva Vanilla ice cream is currently available at the City Kidz Café in Jacksonville and, in a recent head to head blind taste test, Viva Vanilla scored higher than Breyers®, Blue Bell®, and Haagen Daz®. The panel of professional panel judges included three executive chefs, one of whom was Chef Amadeus, recently awarded the title of "Extreme Chef"® by the Food Network®.

Helplessness In The Face Of Unemployment, Foreclosures And Debt - Dr Laurie Pappas Offers Practical Advice In 'The Loving Heart'


Some people's lives are utterly destroyed by economic woes, while others seem to flourish and emerge unscathed. What is the real difference between these two groups of people? Dr. Laurie Pappas has found a surprising answer. She presents this answer in her recent release, 'The Loving Heart'

The unprecedented economic downturn has resulted in the massive loss of jobs, huge numbers of foreclosures and a national debt level that is beyond staggering. Americans are suffering like no time in recent history. The natural first response is to levy blame upon those responsible for what may appear to be irrational decisions and political game playing. Dr. Laurie Pappas believes that, rather than wasting time complaining or placing blame, our time is better spent addressing the problems on a more personal level. She offers practical advice in her latest release, 'The Loving Heart'.

"It seems," stated Dr. Pappas, "that the economy is not bouncing back the way we all wanted and expected. We can't help hearing from the media that national debt is rising, the housing market is still suffering, and that unemployment for many may be running out. Often, many of us feel that just mere survival in this economic climate is next to impossible. There seems to be a feeling of helplessness that is contagious. But, I disagree. There is much each of us can do to assure ourselves that not only can we survive, but we can thrive, even in such an atmosphere."

"Too many of us give up when we are frustrated and give in when we can't pay our bills. I believe that prosperity is possible for anyone who imagines it, dreams it, focuses on it, and refuses to think about lack. For those who concentrate on what they 'have,' and not what they 'don't have,' who appreciate all material gains, no matter how small, who see their cup half full instead of half empty, there are riches galore. No matter what 'bad news' is broadcast to us, we each have the power to change our own circumstances right here and right now!"

Dr. Pappas presents her approach in 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace'. The book is supplemented by a workbook entitled 'The Loving Heart Companion'. Dr. Pappas has included over 30 years of observation and wisdom gained from personal experiences, as well as working with students, clients, family members and colleagues. She now offers a series of teleclasses dealing with the subjects contained within her written works. So where does one look to begin to turn such negative situations around? Dr. Pappas believes it must begin within.

"Our thoughts and beliefs are powerful," she continued, "so powerful, that we can create a better reality with them. No matter what we hear happening around us, we can focus on abundance and prosperity for ourselves and even for others about whom we care. There are people out there with wealth even now, at a time when the world around them may be collapsing financially. So why do they have money? Because within their minds, they actually believe that they can! Somewhere along the road, they decided to succeed and to flourish, and that they weren't going to take no for an answer. And even if their bank accounts told them differently, they refused to buy into the rampant beliefs 'out there' about the economic struggle we must all be in. They just imagined something better and got to work making it happen!"

Dr. Pappas offers phone and in-person spiritual and metaphysical counseling, in addition to life coaching, classes, workshops, speaking engagements and teleclasses. More information on all the resources she offers is available at her website. Specific information on teleclasses is available by email. Dr. Pappas is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at laurie@lovingheartconnection.com.

Detroit Michigan Then And Now - From Boom To Bust

Erica Miner’s new release, FourEver Friends, offers an in depth, first person glimpse at the 60's era; an era that Boomer Detroit residents look to with nostalgia and young adults look to with curiosity. She will be appearing on The Authors Show Radio on November 12, 2009

Though many people today think of the Sixties as a bygone era, Boomers hold these years dear within their hearts and minds. In the 60's Detroit symbolized the American Dream. Now all of that has changed.

On Labor Day in 1960, when JFK gave the keynote speech in downtown Detroit, the city was thriving. Businesses were doing well, education was well-funded and in top form, the city abounded with talent, especially among young people, and it was the all-important hub of Labor in the US. When Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and subsequently the city exploded into race riots in 1967, all of that began to change.Erica Miner's newest novel, FourEver Friends, tells the tale of four teenage girls set in 1960's Detroit. It is a time she remembers fondly.

"As a high school student at that time," states Ms. Miner, "I was full of hope for my city, my country, and my generation. I remember how wonderful it felt to anticipate the great changes to come. Since then my beloved city has been in a downward spiral, and with the current recession Detroit is hurting more than any other city in the US: the auto industry woes, the 15+% unemployment, are just the tip of this iceberg."

Originally Ms. Miner wrote the book as a love letter to her four ‘BFFs’ and to the school that gave us them an astonishing foundation that they were able to draw on. The book can now be seen as somewhat of a snap shot that captures a better time, lived in a better place.

In FourEver Friends, Ms. Miner takes us back to an era that Baby Boomers look to with nostalgia and young adults look to with curiosity. The 1960's were a time of new hope and idealism that ultimately dissolved into volatility and violence. In a specialized inner city Detroit high school, four teenage girls have established the roots of lasting friendship. Their backgrounds are different, but their passion for classical music and angst over raging hormones link them irrevocably. The girls' school is a cultural melting pot of race and ethnicity in which students are judged by their intellect and talents, not the color of their skin or religious upbringing.

"As heartbreaking as it is for me to observe the troubles of the (no longer) Motor City," stated Ms. Miner, "I still see Detroit in my mind as it once was. My fictionalized memoir FourEver Friends, takes a trip down memory lane to a time when the Boomer generation navigated the waters of their adolescence against the background of JFK’s election, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the advent of the Beatles, and other major socio-political events. Even though some of these events could be considered in a negative light, those were the best days the city and the people there had ever experienced. This book will bring back fond memories of those times."

Erica Miner will be appearing on The Authors Show Radio (www.TheAuthorsShow.com) on Nov 12, 2009. FourEver Friends is now available at Ms. Miner's website at www.ericaminer.com, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble. She can be contacted by email at emwriter@earthlink.net.
