Mississippi Flooding: Dr. Laurie Pappas Offers Real Hope In The Midst Of Tragedy


The Mississippi River flooding is the next horrific event in what has become a long line of environmental catastrophes. Author Laurie Pappas believes that learning to overcome these challenges, as difficult as this may appear to be, begins with choices made by the individual and offers practical guidance in her new book 'The Loving Heart'

Natural catastrophies take a serious toll on those of who must suffer through them - serious injury, the death of loved ones, loss of homes and possessions, businesses destroyed, the displacment of families, financial ruin, the cost of rebuilding - the list goes on and on. These challenges can easily overwhelm even the strongest of us. Yet, amidst this chaos, there is another way of looking at such events. Dr. Laurie Pappas offers a different perspective in her recent release,'The Loving Heart'.

"These events," stated Dr. Pappas, "have, once again, brought despair to human beings who urgently need a way to cope with the adversity that life can bring. Viewing a situation in terms of its opportunities rather than its agonies can help anyone, anywhere to deal with hardship. What if there was actually a grander purpose in all crises? What if disasters such as this could make us stronger and wiser? What if we could learn something profound or useful from our experience? I believe that it is the nature of the Universe in which we live to challenge us to improve ourselves and discover hidden pockets of knowledge and power that we didn’t even know we possessed. If we open to this possibility, not only can we navigate rough waters more easily, but we can also develop amazing new versions of ourselves – ones more masterful and empowered, self-aware and compassionate."

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.

“Teleclasses,” continued Dr. Pappas, “on such subjects as forgiveness, surrender and the Mirroring Principle, help us to mend the fearful, anxious and angry states of mind that accompany us each day. The concepts taught help us to uproot any disturbing thoughts we may have, and replace them with calm, peaceful ones, freeing us to extend hopeful, caring thoughts into regions of the world that so critically need our nonviolent, harmonic energy.”

Dr. Pappas offers phone and in-person spiritual and metaphysical counseling, in addition to life coaching, classes, workshops, speaking engagements and teleclasses. Her teleclass schedule for Spring 2011 is as follows (all times EST):

Thurs. June 2 8 Secrets to Beating the Blues 12:00-1:15

Wed. June 8 Developing The Knack of Loving Ourselves 12:00-1:15

More information on teleclasses and her books is available at her website. Specific information on teleclasses is available by email.

Barbara Briggs Ward, Author Of The Reindeer Keeper And The Snarly Sally Series, To Appear At BookExpo America


BookExpo America is the main event for the publishing industry. Attendees include publishers, literary agents, authors, librarians, e-publishers, bookstores and bloggers

Barbara Briggs Ward, author of 'The Reindeer Keeper' and the 'Snarly Sally' series of children's books will attend BookExpo America. BookExpo America will be held May 24th-May 26th at the Javits Center in New York City. Ward's BookExpo location will be in Writer's Row, Booth #4783.

"While at BookExpo," stated Ms. Ward, "I will be introducing my heartwarming Christmas story entitled, 'The Reindeer Keeper' which has received 5-Star reviews on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. This is the place to make connections. I'm excited to be a part of this event; to share my story and ideas and experiences from those who have fallen in love with 'The Reindeer Keeper.'

This year, BookExpo America will feature three full days of exhibits and four days of conference and special events. Details, including locations, event hours and a full itinerary are available at the groups website at www.bookexpoamerica.com. Ms. Ward sees the event as an opportunity to present her work to a much larger audience.

"Although I am a published writer/illustrator of children's picture books," she continued "and have been published in McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Highlights for Children and Chicken Soup for the Soul, when it came to my seeking a publisher for my heartwarming Christmas story geared towards baby boomers entitled, 'The Reindeer Keeper', I chose self-publishing, thinking it would be hard to find a mainstream publisher interested in a title that was seasonal and written by a relatively unknown author. "My plan was to self-publish; then get the book out into the marketplace the best I could. Based on the reaction I would then take the next step-seek a mainstream publisher or literary agent. Well the reaction continues to be overwhelming from both women and men-from this country and around the world. Readers fell in love with the story and are asking for a sequel. Most tell me 'The Reindeer Keeper' is destined to be a Made-for-Television Christmas movie classic. I discovered the perfect match-heartwarming Christmas stories and Baby Boomers. They keep asking me to write more of the same. By attending BookExpo, I hope to make that happen."

Barbara Briggs Ward is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at maggieosheacompany@yahoo.com. All Ms. Ward's books are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Wheatmark Publishing, at the St. Lawrence University Brewer Bookstore and at her website. 'The Reindeer Keeper' is available on Kindle. More information is available at her website.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein Announces New Members And Activities At 'Authors Speaking', Designed To Bring Authors And Readers Together Through Virtual Visits


'Authors Speaking' serves as a community of authors, teachers, librarians, teens and tweens, book clubs and bloggers. The site will serve to enable these groups to come together to talk about books. It will also serve as a hub to allow authors to virtually visit classrooms, libraries and book clubs, and businesses. Authors can upload author photos, bios, book covers, video and book trailers, thus clearly displaying some of the material they have to offer virtually. The site utilizes discussion forums, segmented groups and events listings. Facebook and Twitter integration are available

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, nationally recognized author and positive psychologist announced today a sampling of new members on 'Authors Speaking', a social site dedicated to bringing authors and readers together.

'Authors Speaking' allows authors to make virtual visits to classrooms, libraries, bookclubs and bookstores through Skype and other forms of technology. Authors Speaking gives authors and publishers the opportunity to upload photos, bios, book covers, video and book trailers. The site also offers discussion forums, segmented special interest groups and allows for event listings. Each author can develop a personalized page. In addition the site allows for integration with Facebook and Twitter.

"The virtual world for authors, both fiction and non-fiction, and their audiences is not in the future," stated Dr. Holstein, "it is now. Technology, including video, via such systems as Skype, is the new way of learning and sharing. Now an author can share her picture book with a kindergarten class 3000 miles from her home while a Physics professor teaches from his latest book to students at computers around the world, all taking his seminar in the comfort of their homes or sitting in classrooms. 'Authors Speaking' is the connecting bridge we have all needed to bring the future into now. When Don McCauley and I began to conceptualize this site, I realized that we are on the cutting edge of change. Now there is one place, where authors can meet the increasing public demand to be ready virtually. Authors post videos of themselves talking or teaching, trailers of their books, and can keep the public informed about their upcoming engagements and activities."

Discussion forums are available for authors, teachers, librarians, book clubs, teens and tweens and bloggers. Special segmented groups are available for authors of fiction, non-fiction, children's fiction and children's non-fiction.

New members at 'Authors Speaking' include:

Reina Weiner - author of 'Strong From the Start – Raising Confident and Resilient Kids'
Betsy A. Riley - author of 'The Comet'
Floriana Hall - author of 'Miss Flossie's World'
Carol Zelaya - author of 'Emily Waits For Her Family'
Lucina Kathmann - author of 'Payshapes and the Bear'

Peace Is A Choice: Dr. Laurie Pappas Offers A Practical And Effective Approach To Peace In 'The Loving Heart'


The death of Osama Bin Laden and the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton give the world a glimpse of the two extremes of human possibility. Author Laurie Pappas believes that peace, both indvidual and on a global scale, begins with choices made by the individual and offers practical guidance in her new book 'The Loving Heart'

The extremes of human experience have been clearly demonstrated in the events making headlines over the last few weeks - the death of Osama Bin Laden and the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. On one hand, the world celebrates death; on the other, love. Dr. Laurie Pappas puts forth the idea that the future of our world depends upon the choices made by every individual.

"The death of Osama Bin Laden," stated Dr. Pappas, "and the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton give the world a glimpse of the two extremes of human possibility. Why are we mesmerized by a love story and relieved and maybe even ecstatic over the demise of a notorious terrorist figure? Because "love" is our healer, our balm, our peace-bringer. It is the absolute core of who we all are, and in its presence we are whole again. Bin Laden represents the part of each of us that is abhored - the wounded, hostile, diseased piece of each of us that needs healing. Every human being holds within, both extremes of possibility, even though most of us are able to reside somewhere in the middle. The closer we move toward our "loving" nature, and the farther we move away from fear and anger, the more peace abounds. If we learn anything from the symbolism of these events, may we realize that we each have the ability to choose and develop the loving side of our nature and to put to rest its opposite. This choice lays the groundwork for the future of our world."

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.

“Teleclasses,” continued Dr. Pappas, “on such subjects as forgiveness, surrender and the Mirroring Principle, help us to mend the fearful, anxious and angry states of mind that accompany us each day. The concepts taught help us to uproot any disturbing thoughts we may have, and replace them with calm, peaceful ones, freeing us to extend hopeful, caring thoughts into regions of the world that so critically need our nonviolent, harmonic energy.”

Dr. Pappas offers phone and in-person spiritual and metaphysical counseling, in addition to life coaching, classes, workshops, speaking engagements and teleclasses. Her teleclass schedule for Spring 2011 is as follows (all times EST):

Wed. May 11 The Supreme Art of Surrender 12:00-1:15

Thurs. May 19 How to Meditate 12:00-1:15

Wed. May 25 The Ultimate Recipe for Dealing with Difficult People 12:00-1:15

Thurs. June 2 8 Secrets to Beating the Blues 12:00-1:15

Dr. Charles Glassman, 'Coach MD', To Author Regular Column For Families Online Magazine


Dr. Charles Glassman, one of the country's most respected and well known medical doctors, has announced he will be a regular contributor to Families Online Magazine

Dr. Charles Glassman, one of the country's most respected physicians and widely known as 'Coach MD', has taken the role of columnist for Families Online Magazine.

Families Online Magazine is an online magazine dedicated to providing up to the minute information on a wide variety of topics for families on the go. The topics covered by the magazine include, but are not limited to, family fun, parenting, health, lifestyle, travel, money issues and school. Dr. Glassman will be providing medical articles on a monthly basis in his 'Coach MD' column.

"Families Online Magazine," stated Dr. Glassman, "is a growing source of one-stop valuable content and information for today's busy families. I am delighted to write a new monthly column, Coach MD, to give readers a framework to better understand their body and mind; a connection not often made by one's personal physician."

Dr. Glassman takes an all encompassing, holistic view of healthcare. Known as 'Coach MD', his role is to serve as a personal guide to total wellness. He effectively guides his clients through the maze of medical choices available today. He believes that total wellness is so much more than taking pills to mask symptoms. Mind, body and spirit must work as one unit. There must be balance. Beyond diagnosis and medical treatment, total wellness also encompasses emotional factors, spirituality, meditation, diet, alternative therapies, relaxation techniques, positive thinking - the list goes on and on. He is also giving away his new ebook, 'Destiny Diet', that offers the first step on the path to that state of total wellness.

As a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and Life Extension Foundation member, Dr. Glassman approaches medicine in an integrative manner, looking carefully at all traditionally approved methods while recognizing the power of unconventional therapies.

He is excited to bring the same level of competence and open-mindedness to his new service, Coach MD.

Mackey Ventures LLC Releases 'Walking In Kingdom Authority', A Practical Jumpstart Guide to Kingdom Living


'Walking In Kingdom Authority' is designed to lead Christians beyond mediocrity and into a deeper understanding of what it means to live an abundant life in Christ

Mackey Ventures LLC, a New Mexico faith based company, has released 'Walking In Kingdom Authority'. Written by the company's co-leader, Natasha Mackey, the book leads readers to a deeper understanding of what it means to live in abundance. The purpose of the book is to give readers a look at the benefits, power, and authority they receive when they come into the Kingdom. It is intended for use in both group and individual studies.

"I was led of the Holy Spirit to write this book," stated Mackey, "because there was such a lack that I encountered in the Body of Christ through over 15 years of ministry. So many Christians, new and old alike, were not living the empowered Christian life. Instead of taking their rightful place in the Kingdom of God and living the abundant life that God promised, many were satisfied with mediocrity and just having a mundane existence."

At the beginning of each chapter readers will find a Kingdom Prayer Shield which has been included as a guideline for praying in agreement with the word concerning concepts discussed in each chapter. Included at the end of every chapter are Kingdom Confessions. Finally, discussion questions are included that readers can use for reflection.

"This book, continued Mackey, "will provide the essential tools to live an empowered Christian life. This manual transcends denominational lines and is geared towards use in the universal church - the Body of Christ at large. Readers should walk away with a better understanding of the Kingdom of God and their place, authority and responsibility in the Kingdom.”

‘Walking In Kingdom Authority’ is available in paperback at Amazon.com and at the company's website. The ebook, Kindle, Nook Book and Microsoft reader versions are also available.

Natasha Mackey is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at info@mackey-ventures.com. More information is available at the company's website.

'Authors Speaking' allows authors to make virtual visits to classrooms, libraries, bookclubs and bookstores through Skype and other forms of technology. Authors Speaking gives authors and publishers the opportunity to upload photos, bios, book covers, video and book trailers. The site also offers discussion forums, segmented special interest groups and allows for event listings. Each author can develop a personalized page. In addition the site allows for integration with Facebook and Twitter.

"The virtual world for authors, both fiction and non-fiction, and their audiences is not in the future," stated Dr. Holstein, "it is now. Technology, including video, via such systems as Skype, is the new way of learning and sharing. Now an author can share her picture book with a kindergarten class 3000 miles from her home while a Physics professor teaches from his latest book to students at computers around the world, all taking his seminar in the comfort of their homes or sitting in classrooms. 'Authors Speaking' is the connecting bridge we have all needed to bring the future into now. When Don McCauley and I began to conceptualize this site, I realized that we are on the cutting edge of change. Now there is one place, where authors can meet the increasing public demand to be ready virtually. Authors post videos of themselves talking or teaching, trailers of their books, and can keep the public informed about their upcoming engagements and activities."

Discussion forums are available for authors, teachers, librarians, book clubs, teens and tweens and bloggers. Special segmented groups are available for authors of fiction, non-fiction, children's fiction and children's non-fiction.

"Ibelieve this site offers a real opportunity for authors and publishers," stated Mr. McCauley, "as the site offers so many options, opportunities and possibilities. It can be treated as a place to create awareness of one's work while, at the same time, the site allows an author to visit a classroom, a library or a book club without incurring travel and other costs. All of this is very easy to set up and very easy to implement."
