Artist With Cerebral Palsy Who Paints Remarkable Acrylic Masterpieces To Be Featured At Tobii Dynavox

Joshua Englehaupt has turned a disability into an ability at a level that can only be called breathtaking

Joshua Englehaupt is an artist whose medium is acrylics. While his work may defy description, the talent he brings to the canvas is undeniable. What is even more remarkable is the fact that his work is produced by a team effort. He is half the team at OurHome Studio. His mother, author Carol Englehaupt, is the other half of the team. Carol assists Josh by holding up his arm when he paints. Joshua provides inspiration for his mother's work as an author. It is a match 'made in Heaven' for both Carol and Joshua.

"Josh isn’t an independent painter," Carol stated. "He needs my help in getting his painting ready. I load and clean brushes for him. I place the brush in his hand and support his elbow. The brush strokes are his. The composition and colors are his. He has a far better sense of color than I do. We use a big color chart to help him decide on colors and to communicate to me what he wants."

"I was taking a watercolor art course, when Josh let me know that he wanted to paint too. Without thinking, I gave him paper and paints and let him finger paint. This lasted about three pictures. Josh got angry. He kicked his foot and kept looking at the paintbrush in my hand. He wanted to paint with a brush. I did what I always do when Josh wants to do something. I figured out a way for him to do it. His grip was poor. I’d have to curl his fingers around the brush and help him hang onto it. This wasn’t what Josh wanted so I started to think of ways to help him. I mentioned to my husband one evening, 'If only paintbrushes came with handles like screwdrivers.' He gave me a look, got up from his chair and disappeared into the garage. He came back with a couple of screwdriver handles with brushes inserted. These were the first brushes that Josh used. The handles were big enough that he could get a grip on them."

Joshua Englehaupt was born April 3, 1980. Birth trauma resulted in Joshua being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. He attended Easter Seal until the age of seven at which time testing became available that gave a more accurate assessment of his I.Q. His diagnosis was updated to multi-physically disabled with normal intelligence. As a result of this testing, Josh was able to leave Easter Seals and attend public schools. The travel was simply too much for Joshua to handle. Home schooling became the only reasonable choice.

The other half of the team, Carol Englehaupt, is both an artist and a published author. She learned early that normal doesn’t exist. Her stories reflect an unconventional outlook on life that fires the imagination, inspires the reader, and delivers a dose of unexpected humor. A multi genre author who writes under the pen name C.L. Roth, she delivers fast-paced, imaginative stories with enough unusual twists to please readers of any age.

Carol's works include 'Cosmic Shift', 'Cosmic Chaos' and 'Bone Weary'. 'Cosmic Shift' is a fantasy for kids geared to Middle School readers but also enjoyable for all ages. 'Cosmic Chaos' is written for middle grade kids and young adults. Carol's latest work, 'Bone Weary', is an adult mystery full of heart and humor that features a caregiver protagonist, drawing on her own experiences with Joshua.

"My goal as an author," Carol stated, "is to tell a story that intrigues the mind, entertains the reader, and takes root in the heart. I strive to write fast-paced books that deliver action, humor, and unexpected twists that are suitable for all ages to read."

Joshua's work has been drawing a great deal of public attention and several of Joshua's prints will be displayed at Tobii Dynavox in Pittsburgh, PA.

"Josh and I are just beginning this artistic journey," Carol concluded. "I have no idea where the path will lead. I only know we are enjoying every step of the journey."

Carol Englehaupt is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at carolenglehaupt@gmail.com More information on Joshua's work is available at http://www.ourhomestudio.com. More information on Carol's work is available at http://www.clroth.com.

Profile:

OurHome Studio is a collaboration of two artists. Joshua Englehaupt is an artist with Cerebral Palsy who paints in watercolor. His mother, Carol Englehaupt is a multigenre author who writes under the name of C. L. Roth.

Meditation And Light On The Path To Mediumship Is The Focus Of Author Pat Chalfant's Book, 'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship'

Chalfant offers mediumship classes to help others develop mediumship in both classroom settings and via the Internet. She believes meditation is vital to the development of mediumship

Pat Chalfant, author of 'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship', believes meditation is the path to mediumship. She hopes to reveal the true face of mediumship and feels that nothing does that more effectively than pointing out the routine use of meditation in mediumship studies. The experience of seeing light during meditation is one of the hallmarks of progress.

"Usually, one of the first things we develop when we study mediumship," Chalfant stated, "is the ability to see lights in meditation either with eyes open or with eyes closed.  More often it will happen for the meditator when his eyes are closed.  Having it happen with eyes open is less common.  Whenever anyone tells me he/she see lights in my darkened development class, I am fairly certain that this person is on the way to developing mediumship."

"Students will also announce in our 'sharing time' after meditation that they have seen colors.  Actually, the two are usually interchangeable because the lights can be various colors. So that I won’t discourage anyone who may not 'see' anything at first in meditation, I always temper the mention of lights and colors appearing early on by saying that it doesn’t have to be light that is seen first, but that quite frequently, it is. Those lights may be tiny, large, stationary, moving, or what one student described as a guiding light.  They will be white or many-colored or only one color, but nevertheless, light(s).  Recently, she’s been adding that this may even be what engendered the concept of “light workers.”  Light definitely precedes or else comes along at some later stage in our progression through meditation into mediumship."

"Those who know about the work of the Seer of Virginia Beach, Edgar Cayce, may know that his son, Hugh Lynn Cayce, stated that meditation is valuable because the light we begin to see in meditation is the same light that we are so often encouraged to remember to look for when we die.  So if you are a meditator, not only will the light you see in meditation tell you that you are taking your first steps toward becoming a medium, but also that the path you will then be on is the same as the one that we each use to pass to the Other Side of Life. This is how we begin to discover that life continues after death and that we are Spiritual beings."

Special attention is given to meditation at the end of each lesson in Pat’s book as well as in a long piece about meditation at the beginning of the workbook section at the back of her book.

'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship', explains how she, a real skeptic regarding such matters, developed mediumship abilities and now lives a life transformed by the spiritual. Mediumship is a controversial issue and Pat understands this, but she also believes that credible mediumship holds the promise of real benefits for mankind that have not been fully explored.

In addition to offering one-on-one client consultations, Pat has penned the 'Spirit Lights Song Book' and three of those songs are in the National Spiritualist Association of Churches hymn book. She does readings for clients by phone and teaches mediumship development classes. She has also created a DVD entitled 'Spirit Lights Psychic Development DVD'.

Pat Chalfant is currently appearing on The Authors Show. Her interview is available now at The Authors Show site. 'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship' is available at her website and at Amazon. Pat is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at pat.chalfant@patchalfant.com. Pat maintains a Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9qOQWIWR-DUL8hBDqE5TnQ.  She is also available for inspirational lectures. More information is available at her website at http://www.patchalfant.com.

About Pat Chalfant:

Oregon Spiritualist Medium Pat Chalfant's amazing psychic gifts have helped hundreds of individuals worldwide. Pat has written a column on parapsychology and interviewed Hollywood stars and the psychics who read for them for a national newspaper. Other topics she’s taught and written about are: past life therapy, death and dying, the Edgar Cayce work, the Cathars, and Spiritual healing.

The Association for Past Life Research and Therapies newsletter published a series of her interviews with psychiatrists, psychologists, and hypnotherapists who were all west coast pioneers of past life therapy. Pat believes that series is destined to become a book.

A singer/songwriter, three of her songs are in the National Spiritualist Association of Churches hymnal. She teaches internationally online and also hosts an online Spiritualist circle, Spirit Lights Chapel.

The Blood Moon on Passover Could Mean the Destruction of Jerusalem Says Expert

Dr. Richard Ruhling is an expert on Biblical prophecy and believes apocalyptic events will take place in 2015

“The sun shall be darkened and the moon turned to blood before the...day of the Lord,” Joel 2:31. That's a sign not subject to human manipulation, says Dr. Richard Ruhling, author on Bible prophecy, adding that the sun shall be darkened in a full eclipse on March 20, and the moon turned to blood two weeks later on Passover, the Jewish day of judgment. These events fit the sequence in Exodus 12:2,7,12.

Ruhling believes “the day of the Lord,” the end-time apocalyptic period, may begin then. If so, we will know it by the events in Jerusalem. “The day of the Lord” (signaled by the timed solar & lunar ecllpse) will include “all nations against Jerusalem to battle,” Zechariah 14:1,2. It may include an earthquake, verse 5.

"If we see that," Ruhling says, "America should expect judgment a month later, 'as the days of Noah' when the Flood came with Passover timing, but in the 2nd spring month as seen in Genesis 7:4,11.

The Flood fit a provision in the law of Numbers 9:10,11 and is one of seven clues for sudden events to initiate end-times. The events between Matthew 24:30 and 25:31 have 2nd Passover timing “as a man traveling to a far country,” Matthew 25:14. Ruhling explains: "Israelites didn't travel in winter, and if they took a long journey and couldn't get back to Jerusalem for Passover, they were to keep it a month later."

Christ would be taking the far journey, and His return in judgment (not visible, but also as Bridegroom) must conform to the law that He said is in effect “till heaven and earth pass.” Matthew 5;18. More information is available at Ruhling's website at http://www.thebridegroomcomes.com.

About Dr. Richard Ruhling:

Dr. Richard Ruhling is a retired physician who taught Health Science at Loma Linda University. He attended a Bible college, is non-denominational and may be contacted for speaking on health, current events or Bible prophecy as shown at http://pub.lucidpress.com/TotalHealth/

Ruhling authored 'Exodus 2: A Christian Patriot's Answer to the Coming Civil War - Fight or Flight?', 'The Bridegroom Comes’ and ‘Why You Shouldn’t Ask Your Doctor - Choices That Can Save Your Life’. More information is available at his websites and Amazon.

#LikeaGirl Means Breaking Through The Glass Ceiling And Overcoming Old Ideas About Gender Limitations Says Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

Dr. Holstein is the author of two highly successful books that help young girls overcome limitations and develop a positive self image. She sees recent campaigns, such as #LikeAGirl and #GirlsCan, as giants strides forward in overcoming society's biases against females

Claire Cain Miller's New York Times article, 'How Teacher Biases Can Sway Girls From Math and Science', documents once again many of the subtle biases, often held unconsciously, that parents, toy manufacturers and even classroom teachers hold about what it means to be female. The article mentions a study done by The National Bureau of Economic Research that explored the consequences of teachers' stereotypical biases.

The good news is that the latest research indicates "how  powerful a little encouragement can be.  Early educational experiences have a quantifiable effect on the math and science courses the students choose later, and eventually the jobs they get and the wages they earn."

Recent marketing campaigns such as #LikeaGirl by Always (introduced during the Super Bowl) and #GirlsCan by Covergirl (featuring Ellen DeGeneres and Queen Latifah) are helping to overcome these long held biases. Dr. Holstein strongly believes that it's very important to reach girls with empowering messages a very early age, as it is in those formative years that self image is formed and future plans are laid. Dr. Holstein's latest published books, 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween', and the sequel, 'Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen', address these types of issues from the perspective of a young girl. Both books are written in the form of diary entries made by the girl.

In both books the girl enjoys learning and craves answers. Her learning style is inquisitive and she is angry and hurt when people, whether it is her mom or a teacher look the other way and don't take the time to help her fully understand a question or a problem.  Is this girl unique?

As a positive psychologist, educator and author, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein answers this question. "The girl in 'The Truth' and 'Secrets' is the compilation of hundreds of girls I have seen in schools and in my private practice. Each girl is of course unique.  But in general, girls are inquisitive.  They love to learn.  They love science and math and anything that is fascinating.  Can they be crushed?  Very easily.  How? By parents who miss the boat of understanding their needs and concerns.  By teachers that make assumptions about the girls they teach. By societies that limit opportunities for girls and women. It is because of so many biases that exist that I have dedicated my professional career to helping girls and their parents realize that being #LikeaGirl means breaking through the #GlassCeiling.  It means growing up to be smart, highly educated, ready to take on responsible positions throughout society. It means #GirlsCan."

"My dream is to have every parent sit down with her daughter after they have both read The Truth and Secrets and talk about what that girl needs to grow up strong, resilient, self-confident, educated and ready to take her place in society. There be a million successful ways to be #LikeAGirl. We all need to understand and accept that #GirlsCan."

Dr. Holstein recently released "The Truth, Diary Of A Gutsy Tween". The new book is a revised and expanded edition of her very successful book, 'The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything'. The new book is published by Sky Pony Press.

A Facebook page, thetruthforgirls, highlights many of the topics woven into "The Truth".  Articles, videos, remarks, conversations, visuals, on this page center around many of the issues that tweens face growing up.  These include: self-esteem issues, quarreling in families, divorce, moving to a new home, a new school, best friends, a crush, bullies, a death in the family, money issues, not feeling pretty, feeling sad, feeling lonely, jealousy and more. Dr. Holstein's book for teens and tweens is a first in using fiction for embedding positive psychology concepts.

Her second book in The Truth Series is “Secrets: Diary Of A Gutsy Teen”. In 'Secrets' the girl is 13 years old. She handles many adolescent issues, including a crush, moving, a death in the family, feeling fat and problems with girlfriends.  'Secrets' provides a book kids and parents and grandparents can share and use as a sounding board for needed communication between the generations.

Both “The Truth” and “Secrets” are great for parents, grandparents, older siblings and teachers to establish lines of communication with the tweens and teens in their lives. Both books are being re-released by Sky Pony Press.

Dr. Holstein is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at drbarbara@enchantedself.com. All of her works are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and all other online retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.TheTruthForGirls.com.

Author RG Bud Phelps has been chosen as one of 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading. His award came as the result of an appearance on The Authors Show in which he discussed his newest release, his historical fiction novel 'Anti Nazi Task Force'.

'Anti Nazi Task Force' is the sequel to 'Mill Park Mystery'. 'Mill Park Mystery' begins with a murder in a small Nebraska Town, involving a mysterious black haired man with his path leading to Nuremburg, Germany and a startling conclusion.  From the point where 'Mill Park Mystery' ends, readers can follow the continuing adventures of Phelps’ characters in 'Anti Nazi Task Force'. They have been assigned by this special task force to search for private art collections which were taken from Jewish families during WWII.  The book is an exciting tale of intrigue and romance. In real life Phelps visited the places mentioned in these books and incorporated many personal memories into both mystery novels.

Phelps has penned a number of novels across several genres.  'Gibbons Secrets' is a down-to-earth historical fiction tale about a boy growing up in a small town during and after WWII. 'Back in the Day', the second in his life series, covers the years from 1945 to 1955.  It is based on his personal memories of growing up in Curtis, Nebraska and his four years in the U.S. Navy.

Phelps business books include 'Cover Your Nut', a business book that offers business owners a tool to analyze progress and make plans for the future through the analysis of financial statements. 'The Business Plan and Beyond' teaches new entrepreneurs about the foundation and needs of new businesses.

To celebrate the release of 'Anti Nazi Task Force', Phelps will gift a no-charge copy of 'Mill Park Mystery' in eBook format for anyone who emails proof of purchases of the 'Anti Nazi Task Force' eBook from Amazon.  If readers chose a paperback copy, Phelps will gift a copy of ‘Mill Park Mystery’ with the purchase of ‘Anti-Nazi Task Force’ from his web site.

Rusty Blackwood, Author Of Romantic Fiction Novel 'Passions In Paris', To Be Featured At Niagara Event

Blackwood's latest romance novel presents an intense story of soul mates whose love spans lifetimes. The story is written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. Recent reviewers have compared it to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood will be featured at the Saint David's Anglican Church Ladies' Day on Saturday, February 7, 2015. The annual event, presented by Saint David's Anglican Church ACW, brings together women in business from around Niagara.  All proceeds from the event go to support women's outreach program and scholarships.

"I must say that I  am pleased to be asked to appear at this most auspicious event, and extremely honored to be featured at it," states Miss Blackwood. "For an Indie author who is totally on their own when it comes to acquiring public events, let alone enough interest in their work to be granted any, a grand scale event like this one is not only sought after, but difficult to achieve, so in that respect I am both humbled, and pleased." Rusty further adds, " I very much support women in business who hold acquired positions in their chosen field, for many have endured a hard-fought battle to be able to realize them, and I'd further like to say that the proceeds from ticket sales will be going to a very worthwhile organization. It is always a pleasure  to discuss  my 'Passions in Paris', for I am extremely proud of the story this novel tells, and it is my hope that those who take the journey throughout its pages will enjoy a most unforgettable experience."

Blackwood's romantic fiction novel, 'Passions in Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary' is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received extremely positive reviews from reviewers. The book makes a perfect holiday gift for those who enjoy romance novels written on a grand scale.

In addition to the Ladies' Day event, Blackwood will appear at the 6th Annual Romance Expo in Niagara Falls on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14th, 2015. She is also pleased to announce a book signing event to be held Feb. 28th at Coles in Seaway Mall, Welland.

'Passions In Paris' has received rave reviews. Linkk Kula Kane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks. A long kindled love, which finds its place from a romantic spark in the mind of one, to a mounting real life experience between two different worlds, brought together by an on going weave of circumstances, doubts, mystery, and intrigue, that sets ablaze forbidden emotions on a roller coaster ride of endless desire, and surmounting obstacles, that test the strength of their determination to prevail. Miss Blackwood has a rare talent to bring this and more into the minds and hearts of those who have had the privilege to be transported into her wonderful world of story telling."

Reader Fred Pifer stated the new romance book, "is a fascinating book of a love story that seemed to be written with me in mind. In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout."

Other reviewers have praised the new romance book. Reviewer Cat Howard said, "Eternal love, finding your true soul mate, and how echoes from past lives can influence the present, this story has it all . . . " Another Reader's Favorite reviewer stated, "Enjoyable and exciting, this is a book for people who have romance flowing in their veins."

'Passions In Paris' has a 4 star rating on Amazon.

The Ladies' Day event will be held at St. David's Anglican Church at 369 Thorold Rd. West in Welland on February 7, 2015. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. For more information contact Judy Szalinski at 905-714-9269.

#LikeAGirl - Positive Psychologist And Author Barbara Becker Holstein Release 'Secrets - Diary Of A Gutsy Teen', Book That Builds Self Esteem For Teen Girls

'Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen' is written to offset the problem of the loss of self-esteem and confidence and resiliency that happens around and after puberty

The Always Super Bowl commercial, designated with the hashtag #LikeAGirl has created massive public awareness around the issue of the loss of self-esteem experienced by teenage girls. The timing is fortuitous, as it comes during the week of Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein's latest book release about building self-esteem for teenage girls, 'Secrets, Diary Of A Gutsy Teen'.

"They say that timing is everything," Dr. Holstein stated. "I was happy to see Always release their Super Bowl commercial this weekend, as their message creates real awareness around the teen self-esteem issue. The release of 'Secrets', written to help teen girls develops self-esteem, happens this week also."

"Psychologists and educators have known for years that girls' confidence falls after puberty.  But it took Always to have the guts and the money to sponsor an ad on Super Bowl Sunday that was so moving that as one commentator said, 'Anyone with a daughter can't help but get chills during the commercial.'"

"Why did I write 'Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen'?  To offset the problem of the loss of self-esteem, confidence and resiliency that happens around and after puberty. Girls lose their enthusiasm about their own talents and potential as they navigate the teens.  That often leads to girls responding to peer pressures in ways that lead to disastrous results, whether it is anoxia, drugs or early pregnancy, etc.  One way to offset these negative results is via role models.  The girl in 'Secrets' is a role model.  She keeps a diary that is full of the normal angst of growing up, but she has guts, courage and a healthy dose of #Girl Power.  She figures things out, recovers from emotional blows and always 'runs like a girl'.  That means she is strong, resilient and successful."

To celebrate the release of 'Secrets', Dr. Holstein will offer no-charge copies of the book to the first 10 parents who contact her via email. Why?

"Because the girl in 'Secrets'" Holstein concluded, "is holding on to her confidence and resiliency through all of events and feelings she must face, the same ones we faced, during our teenage years.  She is a great role model in the same manner as the 10 year olds in #Like a Girl. We must not let our girls lose their confidence as they go through puberty."

Dr. Holstein also recently released "The Truth, Diary Of A Gutsy Tween". The new book is a revised and expanded edition of her very successful book, 'The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything'. The new book is published by Sky Pony Press.

A Facebook page, thetruthforgirls, highlights many of the topics woven into "The Truth".  Articles, videos, remarks, conversations, visuals, on this page center around many of the issues that tweens face growing up.  These include: self-esteem issues, quarreling in families, divorce, moving to a new home, a new school, best friends, a crush, bullies, a death in the family, money issues, not feeling pretty, feeling sad, feeling lonely, jealousy and more. Dr. Holstein's book for teens and tweens is a first in using fiction for embedding positive psychology concepts.

Her second book in The Truth Series is “Secrets: Diary Of A Gutsy Teen”. In 'Secrets' the girl is 13 years old. She handles many adolescent issues, including a crush, moving, a death in the family, feeling fat and problems with girlfriends.  'Secrets' provides a book kids and parents and grandparents can share and use as a sounding board for needed communication between the generations.

Both “The Truth” and “Secrets” are great for parents, grandparents, older siblings and teachers to establish lines of communication with the tweens and teens in their lives. Both books are being re-released by Sky Pony Press.

Dr. Holstein is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at drbarbara@enchantedself.com. All of her works are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and all other online retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.TheTruthForGirls.com.
