We Can Choose To Survive Or We Can Choose To Thrive Says Donna Louis, Award Winning Author Of Book Of Proverbs And Her New Bestseller, 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.

An ongoing global pandemic. An earthquake in Haiti. Another in Mexico City and yet another in Japan. Louisiana hit with another hurricane, 16 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina. This one, Hurricane Ida, managed to kill 43 people and cause extensive flooding and property damage in New York and New Jersey.

These are not merely sensational headlines. These are hard, cold facts. Negativity bias aside, it is no wonder some of us see the world as a horrible place to be. Our brains are hard-wired to be on the lookout for anything that might threaten our survival, and we've certainly seen good reason to be fearful lately. Is having a positive attitude in the midst of such devastation a simple-minded, Pollyanna strategy employed to maintain one's sanity? Should we stick our heads in the proverbial sand, or recite an endless litany of positive affirmations in a vain attempt to shoo away catastrophe?

"No," says Donna Louis, award-winning author of the bestselling Christian book, 'Thriving in Every Season of Life With God'. “We have definitely reached the state of signs and wonders and they are occurring all around us. This is time for us all to not only be praying but to be praying FERVENT prayers to God. We also need to be generating ways to assist others who are struggling and who have been unfortunately placed in these dire situations that are taking place. A man who was a lawyer said to Jesus, “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” - Matthew 22:35-40. When we reach out and love and help one another God sees this and helps us with a double portion.”

In the traditions of Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer and TD Jakes, Louis offers readers pragmatic and unpretentious ideas that can help readers take a different view of such dreadful events.

Donna Louis’ latest bestselling book, ‘Thriving in Every Season of Life with God’, gives us a road map to create a mindset - a new life in which we can learn to prosper in any circumstance, however dire.

To understand what it means to "thrive," we must look beyond the dimension of finances. The concept of thriving can be applied to our health, our relationships, our habits and our peace of mind. God wants us to thrive. But it does not just happen - we must take action to make it happen.

Set against the backdrop of four "seasons of life", Louis discusses how we can thrive, prosper, and flourish. Much like growing crops, we prepare in spring, grow in summer, harvest in fall and rest in winter. At times, we must nurture and cultivate, at other times we bloom and reproduce, and at other times we harvest and replant.

'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God' can be read in just a few hours and provides readers with powerful ideas and concepts that can be implemented immediately, allowing them to thrive in the midst of adversity. The book received a five-star rating from Readers Favorite.

Donna also presents powerful ideas and concepts via her YouTube video series, ‘Motivational Mondays With Donna’. The video series is available at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJCieSU2FYdC09F3YNkfzDw.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Several of Donna Louis' recent interviews will be featured a number of times this week on The Authors Show at http://www.theauthorsshow.com.

Award Winning Author Donna Fletcher Crow Announces Release Of Part I Of The Celtic Cross Series, The Struggle for a Nation, A Sweeping Saga Of The Story Of Scotland

The four books in the series are adapted from Donna Fletcher Crow's best-selling epic 'The Fields of Bannockburn' which was named Best Historical Novel 1996 by the American Federation of Press Women

 Award winning author Donna Fletcher Crow has announced the release of Part I of the Celtic Cross series,The Struggle for a Nation. The Celtic Cross series is a sweeping saga of the story of Scotland The four books in the series are adapted from her best-selling epic historical fiction novel, 'The Fields of Bannockburn' which was named Best Historical Novel 1996 by the American Federation of Press Women. The four books (or Epochs) in the series are:

Epoch 1 The Keeper of the Stone, Of Saints and Chieftains

1993: Three modern young people listen as the Scottish storyteller spins his tales of adventure, romance, and intrigue. While candles flicker and a Celtic harp sings its accompaniment, the question grips them: Can they find the answer to Scotland’s oldest secret?

563: Young Corban, tending his father’s sheep—stupid creatures that they are—on the back of the island, has no idea how much his life is about to change when he sees the holy men arrive on the beach below him. Columba has led his little band of monks from Ireland, seeking expiation from his great sin. Can he find peace on the beautiful Iona—or must more souls die yet?

Epoch 2 The Forger of a Nation, Of Kings and Kingdoms

Mary, Gareth and Brad continue their travels to an ancient ritual valley in the Scottish Highlands, seeking the answer to Scotland’s oldest secret.

847: Kenneth mac Alpin set his foot in the deep hollow of the of the ancient enkinging rock at Dunadd. A tumultuous blast of horns and the triumphant beat of drums rent the monks’ sonorous chanting. But Kenneth knew his work had barely begun. Fierce Viking warriors threatened from the west. The Picts, ancient foes of the Scots, threatened from the east. Contentious chieftains would rend the ties of his own people. And yet, somehow, Kenneth must forge a nation.

Epoch 3 The Refiner of the Realm, Of Queens and Clerics

Mary, Gareth, and Brad’s quest to learn the truth of the Stone of Scone takes them to Edinburgh Castle, high on its windy hill.

1068: Margaret struggles as the remnant of the English royal family, fleeing William the Conqueror, is blown onto the wild, rocky shore of Scotland. Can the beautiful, gentle Margaret, vowed to become a nun, accept the hand of the uncivilized King Malcolm? Can she actually carve a haven of civility among these rough, barbarous people?

Epoch 4 The Vanquishers of Tyranny, Of Priests and Patriots

Mary, Brand and Gareth’s quest comes to a surprising conclusion as they learn the truth about the price of freedom.

1314: Larger than life, perhaps the greatest patriot that ever breathed, William Wallace gives his life’s blood for Scotland’s freedom. A glorious victory at Stirling Bridge leads to heart-rending defeat at Falkirk and payment of the ultimate sacrifice at the Tower of London. And young, faithful Jamie Maclnnes experiences it all—even to paying a great personal price himself.

Though scarred—like Scotland—Jamie is unconquered. He rallies behind the dynamic Robert the Bruce and follows on the arduous odyssey of defeat, exile and humiliation until it leads finally to glorious victory on the fields of Bannockburn.

700 years later, three adventurous young people follow this spellbinding tale, seeking answers for their own lives and the solution to Scotland’s oldest riddle.

In announcing the release of her Celtic Cross series, Crow said, “I am delighted to be able to offer readers my Scottish epic for the very first time in ebook format. And I am thrilled with this all-new edition that offers each segment of Scotland’s magnificent history in convenient, stand-alone epochs.

“I am hoping that a whole new generation of readers can find inspiration to stand for truth and freedom as these long-ago saints and patriots did. Each era faces new challenges—as, indeed, our does—but the demands of courage, intelligence and faith remain the same for meeting and overcoming each hurdle that confronts our world. And Scotland remains the same fiercely beautiful country it has been throughout history.”

Readers and reviewers alike have praised Crow's work:

“When it comes to historical fiction set in Scotland and based on true events, no one does it better than Donna Fletcher Crow. Familiar names from history come alive on the page. If you love Scotland, love history, and love the Lord, this one’s for you!” ~Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times best-selling author of Mine Is the Night

“A fictional masterpiece. Creatively ties together the present and the past. Outstanding book for serious readers looking to become involved in an exceptional story of substance.” ~B.H. Bookstore Journal

“A tale well told—it’s a cracker. Well written and well researched with believable people. A magical storyteller’s book. A hard book to put down. If you have a love of good tales well told and a spirit that can be stirred I recommend this book to you.” ~Richard Walker, Rhubarb, Rhubarb, Journal of the Arts Centre Group, UK

“You never thought opening a book could be this wondrous, and closing it this difficult.” Bestseller and Top 5 Picks, Christian Book Distributors

One Amazon reader said, "WHAT a work! Every reader can be enveloped in the sheer scope and quality, every historian be constantly nodding at the precise detail and accuracy, and every Christian can rejoice in the fullness of scripture. For me it is simply beyond descriptive praise. I would urge all who value truth to treat themselves to a feast."

The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries is a literary suspense series using literary figures as background: Rudyard Kipling in 'The Flame Ignites', Dorothy L Sayers in 'The Shadow of Reality', Shakespeare in 'A Midsummer Eve's Nightmare', and Jane Austen in both 'A Jane Austen Encounter' and 'A Most Singular Venture'.

Books About Angels - Jody Sharpe, Award Winning Author Of The Mystic Bay Series, Announces Two New Screen Treatments, The Angel's Daughter Now Available On Kindle Unlimited

Sharpe is the author of a number of award-winning books and videos for adults and children that can help readers and viewers find hope, inspiration and gratitude.

Award-winning author Jody Sharpe recently announced that two new screen treatments of her books are now available: ‘The Angel's Daughter’ and ‘Town Of Angels Christmas’. Angelic presence on earth is the central theme of all the books in her Mystic Bay Series. The series is comprised of four books, the first of which, ‘The Angel's Daughter’, is now available on Kindle Unlimited.

Hope and dreams play major roles in all of her works, including her children's book, ‘When The Angel Sent Butterflies’ and ‘Special Needs Children The Angels On My Shoulder’. Sharpe addressed this in a recent blog post:

"Hope and dreams mean the same thing to me," Sharpe wrote. "I write books about angels in novels, my memoir and children’s book. From childhood, I always had hope God was with me and angels were by my side too, Hope and dreams propelled me spiritually to this part of my life. No, I don’t have wings on my back, but I have wings of hope and dreams in my heart and mind. I hope to reach others with my books and thoughts. I hope the world becomes more loving and giving to others. So many people in the world need hopes and dreams. That’s what keeps all of us going."

The full text of the piece is available at her website at http://www.jodysharpe.com.

Books by Jody Sharpe include:

Town of Angels - It is angel vs. bully in the town of Mystic Bay, California, where a well-kept secret lies. Angels live as humans there. After angels appeared to three children all was blissful in the town full of psychics, and ordinary folk. But as a bully, Klaus Waxman, comes to town, Angel Ken Leighton, a store owner, must carefully guide his flock of humans not to give to in to the bully’s efforts. As Klaus opens a store mocking the resident angels sightings, Angel Ken guides psychic Justine Greer and her family to thwart his efforts. And with the help of the indomitable oldest psychic in town, Madam Norma, the bully meets his match with soft voices and intuitive minds…

Midwest's review of 'Town of Angels' said, "Those who welcome the thought, appearance, and approaches of angels in everyday life will relish the positive notes, mystery, and problem-solving attitudes of angel and human alike in this gentle story of kindness, hope, belief, and resolving differences."

To Catch An Angel - Jody is also the author of 'To Catch An Angel', written in memory of her late husband Steve. In 'To Catch An Angel', miracles happen in Mystic Bay, California, the town with the psychic and angel vibe. Angels are calling. Psychic Maggie Malone returns home to find she's swept up in the miracle of it all. She can't imagine why her mother left or who her father might be. But these questions pale in comparison to the wonder of the angels. Maggie meets writer, Noah Greenstreet. They realize they've met before, but where? Maggie and Noah embark on a journey to find our world is all awash with angels.

The Angel's Daughter - A secret lies in Mystic Bay, California and only two people know it. First there’s Hannah, a tender curly headed half Angel Then there’s her father, Gabe, an effervescent, teddy bear of a full-blooded angel. And it’s up to Hannah to keep the secret safe, but she’s made a colossal mistake telling her ex-boyfriend and writing professor, Sam Blakely. Now he’s written a book exposing the secret to the world.

‘Town of Angels Christmas, A Tale Of Love And Animal Rescue' features the same town and many of the characters from ‘Town of Angels’. In this new novel, Sharpe addresses a number of new issues for her characters to deal with, including animal rescue.

Readers of the Mystic Bay Series who wish to start with the first book in the series can now access’ The Angel's Daughter’ on Kindle Unlimited. The book serves as a great introduction to Jody's concept of angels on earth.

'Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder' is a memoir based on her twenty-five years teaching children with special needs. The book placed second in the National Federation Of Press Women’s At-Large Communication contest. The book is as entertaining as it is illuminating. It’s a love story about the special students and others who over the years graced her life with just that, their grace.

With hearts of angels and challenges to face, the children took Sharpe along their journeys and inspired her own life’s journey of self-discovery. When sorrow came, their kindness helped her through. The synchronicity of events from high school to retirement changed her life for the better, turning her face toward heaven.

Midwest Book Review stated, "Sharpe's ability to see the good in circumstances and people identifies the 'special' in 'special needs' as she delineates her journey through the education system and those teaching and social encounters which changed her perspective and life.

"Teachers (especially those working with special needs kids) will find this spiritual and social reflection easily accessible. It's presented in vignettes which offer small, digestible bites of insight into a world where angels and kindness are present in more than one form."

‘Special Needs Children’ followed her recently released children's book about angels, ‘When The Angel Sent Butterflies’. The new book helps children understand that love from their parents and others surrounds them. Love conquers fear and believing that angels are near can help sweep any childhood fear away. This concept is presented in the book when Angel Ken sends Jones and Kate butterflies. The book, appropriate for ages 2 to 7, is now available at Amazon and Ingram.

In addition, on the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section of her site, Sharpe presents stories of real life encounters with angels. The stories are available at Sharpe's website at http://www.jodysharpe.com.

Sharpe hopes to create a collection of angel stories that involve sightings of angels, interaction with angels, miraculous angel encounters and other types of accounts or stories. Everyone is welcome to submit angel stories. All submissions will be considered, but inclusion is not guaranteed. Stories may be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd.

Sharpe's YouTube channel brings all of this together, offering segments on all of these topics. One topic of special interest is bullying, specifically as it relates to special needs children.

In addition to the National Federation of Press Women’s award, Jody was chosen as a winner in the annual '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Book Awards'. She was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.

Jody Sharpe is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at sharpejody76@gmail.com. Angel stories can be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd. All of her books are available at online book retailers. New quotes will be added every Tuesday to the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section of her blog, which can be found at her website at http://www.JodySharpe.com.

Profile:

Jody Sharpe had a rewarding career as a Special Education teacher. Writing about angels became healing after losing her daughter and then her husband. The valuable lessons she learned about moving forward and loving life in the now have set her on a mission to tell the stories with love, humor and spiritual awakening. The fictitious town of Mystic Bay has given her an avenue to put characters and themes together hopefully enlightening the reader towards contemplation of the precious life and memories we are given.

The Flow State: Living Life On Life's Terms For The Alcoholic Or Drug Addict In Recovery - New Perspective By Harriet Hunter, Award Winning, Bestselling Author Of Miracles Of Recovery

Hunter's award-winning book, Miracles Of Recovery, became the first place recipient of the coveted President’s Award in nonfiction from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. Miracles features 365 powerful daily inspirations from a holistic view of recovery.

Living in the flow state has been one of the hottest Internet topics for a number of years now. This concept is not new certainly, as it is found in nearly every spiritual tradition going back thousands of years. It is the essence of the Taoist philosophy, dating back to the Han dynasty in China. If we try to fight "the world" we will surely suffer. If instead we cooperate with reality, go with the flow," we will instead find peace and satisfaction.

Harriet Hunter, award-winning author of the bestselling book "Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage and Faith," recently posted an article on her website in which she explains why this concept is vitally important for the alcoholic or drug addict. The article reads in part:

"I always thought my life would never change. I figured my parents would live together forever; that I would stay disappointed with myself, and that people could never be trusted. I grew up alone, isolated, and afraid, without a purpose or direction.

"As I free-floated my way through life, I felt sure life had nothing to offer me except a job sufficient to pay for my drugs of choice and enough men to go around to make life interesting. Until it didn’t.

"The more life spins out of control as we try to manage the unknown, the more insane our lives become. Professional help and recovery teach us to take baby steps in accepting life on life’s terms. If you were like me, active in my disease when life got really real, then chances are, this is for you.

"Recovery for us becomes that flimsy reed we grasp to keep us grounded and above-board with ourselves, the God of our Understanding and others. It’s here we discover we can relinquish fears that never materialized and turn our attention on where it needs to be: on our Higher Power by letting Him control everything and everyone else. With the assurance that Higher Power is situated snuggly in our side pocket, life unfolds around us in the manner and in a time unknown to us. We don’t condemn ourselves to extremes of always or never any longer. Each day is unique as we try now, to live in the grey, in the middle of black or white.

"As we learn we deserve the same care and thoughtfulness we so freely give to others, sober recovery shows us the way to love and nurture ourselves. At the same time, we feel sure we are shored up with a new reserve of patience, as our lives now are re-created in peace and understanding. Whatever comes our way now and however life unfolds, we take comfort that if it was supposed to be different, it would be, and we trust it."

The full text of the article is available at Hunter’s website at http://www.harriethunter.org.

While there are many treatment approaches and programs, what is common to all successful individuals within a substance abuse program is the shared pain and the loneliness, oftentimes with an ongoing support system for the person battling the disease. That support system is what Harriet Hunter offers in “Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage and Faith.”

Featuring 365-daily inspirations. Miracles of Recovery was written not just for those addicted, but for the parents, the spouses - anyone touched by the disease because addiction is absolutely a family affair. Using the foundation of 12-Step Recovery, Miracles of Recovery embraces holistic suggestions as a practical approach for those who must face life on life's terms, clean and sober. Encouraging and thought-provoking, Miracles of Recovery inspires with Universal Truths, “because,” Harriet says, “Once we know better, we do better.”

Miracles of Recovery is written to show through personal examples how to achieve long-term sobriety by embracing new behavior and positive reinforcement, regardless of what happens in one's life. She offers a personal, sometimes raw reflection of the truth about addiction seldom seen elsewhere.

The new book encourages readers to embrace healthy, positive thoughts by taking actions necessary to reinforce a new way of thinking. Tools necessary to maintain sobriety and change one's life through changing one’s perspective are also proposed. It suggests that readers "Do life differently," through exercises, solutions, and methods to improve self-esteem, confidence, and embrace a profound sense of hope needed to succeed. The author spurs the reader to embrace the belief that, regardless of challenges life presents, “NOTHING can change the course of recovery when you keep yourself, your sobriety, and your Higher Power first in your lives.” In short, Miracles of Recovery offers hope where there is none through a simple program of actions for complicated people.

Hunter has received rave reviews for her work from readers and reviewers alike. Vernita Taylor of Readers Favorite stated, “Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage, and Faith by Harriet Hunter is a great choice if you’re struggling with addiction because it offers a full year of inspiration and affirmations which I enjoyed. I see this book as a mentor or sponsor that is walking by your side and helping to lead you to a better, more improved you while teaching you how to deal with your stressors. The best teacher is someone who has been there and done that, and this book doesn’t disappoint. The author knows first-hand what it takes and how it feels to be addicted, and the journey to recovery. If you need help along your journey, pick up a copy of this book; it’s highly recommended.”

Anthony Capozzolli of Dismantled Life Podcast said, “Miracles of Recovery has been a feast for my recovering soul. Every page is filled with love and helpful insights that lead to discovery. I read each page by date and randomly turn to other pages for an additional spiritual hug when I need one. It’s almost as if Harriet wrote her wonderful book for me. Page after page hits so close to home I often tear up from positive awareness and clarity of emotion.”

Miracles of Recovery received the first place President’s Award in nonfiction from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association.

Since her walk into recovery in 1999, Harriet has had one primary purpose: to show others how they can achieve their miracles while staying sober with a vision and determination to never go backwards, one day at a time.

Using her experience strength and hope, Harriet strives to be a conduit of encouragement to others in their disease of alcoholism and drugs of choice, by showing them what continues to work. With practical tools, principles and promises as found in A.A., and other 12-step programs, she mirrors examples of how anyone can be free from the bondage of self, regardless of their situation.

With a purchase of a signed copy of Miracles of Recovery from her website, Hunter provides a no-charge copy of "Your Daily Reprieve; How To Maintain Long-Term Sobriety Serenely Just For Today" in PDF format.

Harriet Hunter has developed a six-module course for individuals who thrive on personal insight and emotional growth as they seek to connect the dots of their lives. Journaling with a Purpose! is a thought-provoking, sometimes intensive exercise for self-seekers who want more from lives. Its focus is both emotionally therapeutic and entertaining, as participants look inside themselves for resilient, positive changes to solutions and characteristics they expect more from. Harriet is never far away. She hosts web-based meetings, while delivering videos, offers no-charge gifts, handouts and many prompts that encourages and explains what the writer can expect with each module.

Additionally, a new Miracles of Recovery ZOOM meeting is held the 1st Fridays of the month. More on this topic is available at her website at http://www.harriethunter.org.

Seven Ways To Help Your Family Recover From The Pandemic, Positive Psychology To The Rescue – New Release By Bestselling Author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is a best selling author, award-winning Selfie Filmmaker, Zoom Drama Creator, Positive Psychologist and podcaster who helps us overcome anxiety and alienation through multiple media channels. 'Seven Ways' debuted as a #1 Amazon Hot New Release

As the world slowly returns to normal, we are beginning to understand the full impact the pandemic has had on our young people. Emotional and social growth have been stunted. Anxiety and depression are major sources of concern, as are frustration and disappointment, coupled with a sense of hopelessness and perhaps worse. How can we undo the effects of the pandemic and finally begin to allow our kids to be normal kids again?

Bestselling author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has some answers to the crisis the pandemic has produced. She presents them in her latest book, ‘Seven Ways To Help Your Family Recover From The Pandemic – Positive Psychology To The Rescue’. The new book is available in e-book and paperback and is available on Amazon Prime. It was recently #1 on the Amazon Hot New Releases list.

"I wrote this book to help young people and their families overcome the trauma, anxiety and other issues related to living through the pandemic," Dr. Holstein stated. "I made it available on Kindle Unlimited so that it can reach as many people as possible. I will also be making the book available at no charge for a period of time. Positive psychology can be used to help people of any age begin to turn adversity into opportunity. This book can help readers do just that."

As a school psychologist and in her private practice, Dr. Holstein has worked with many children and parents, helping them to develop life skills in decision-making, recognition of their own talents, feel more courageous, and helping both kids and parents develop more successful inter-generational skills. Her last book, ‘Conflict and a Bit of Magic’, helps kids build self-esteem though reading the journal of a girl, identifying with the girl, and understanding they have more courage and resiliency than they thought they had. The book is based on the experiences of the already famous “girl” from 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween' and 'Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen', and achieved bestseller status in the multi-generational families category.

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'.

Dr. Holstein recently created The Selfie Showcase, a new project emerging from The Selfie Project, that allows young people to voice their opinions on subjects that matter to young people, including the pandemic. She is now accepting submissions from the public for the "Selfie Showcase" and is actively seeking change-makers and mental health professionals to appear on her monthly video podcasts.

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 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. They will also appear in the Selfie Showcase on SelfieFilmmakers.com. They may be invited to be on Holstein's monthly podcast or perhaps be a part of her next film. Full details, rules for submission and helpful hints can be accessed at the Selfie Filmmakers site at http://www.selfiefilmmakers.com/instructions.

Holstein's unique Selfie Films have taken many awards and have been shown in many film festivals and competitions. A full list, now over 100, can be found at Enchantedself.com.

Holstein's podcast series is actively seeking change-makers and visionaries to appear on her podcasts. Dr. Holstein hopes to feature members of traditional media, mental health professionals and educators who can make a real difference in the lives of young people. Many of the podcasts feature young people - to give them a voice regarding their concerns and their solutions. Guests, if accepted, can arrange to appear by contacting Dr. Holstein directly.

Dr. Holstein is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at barbara.holstein@gmail.com. ‘Seven Ways To Help Your Family Recover From The Pandemic’ is available at Amazon.

An Awesome Travel Experience, Combined With A Powerful Spiritual Awakening, Is The Foundation Of 'Finding 42', New Spiritual Adventure Book By Bestselling Author Benny Mailman

Mailman writes about his amazing travel adventures to encourage seekers of true freedom to follow their hearts and change their realities.

We've all experienced a sense of wanderlust. Likewise with soul-searching. Not all of us are brave enough to seriously commit to either of these life changing pursuits. However, some of us experience an inner longing that can only be satisfied by taking decisive action. Bestselling author Benny Mailman's reality was changed forever when he made the decision to embark upon a journey, an undertaking that would gratify both of those desires. He tells his wildly entertaining tale in a book that is both an extraordinary adventure book and a superb spiritual book.

'Finding 42', at its core, is an amazing travel adventure series. Book 1, 'Cut the Rope', begins with the author leaving the familiar, New York City, and flying into the unfamiliar, Moscow, Russia.

'Finding 42' is a letting go of the known and often forced reality. It is about a man setting out to prove that a better reality was there for the creating. Within the journey, spiritual growth flourishes and an ancient knowledge is renewed in the strength, kindness, and beauty of the human spirit.

Book 1 is filled with stories and soulful connections with fellow travelers and locals alike. There is the story of Fire Horse in Mongolia, Tom Waits and Starbucks in Moscow, life aboard the Trans-Siberian Railroad, the Great Wall, and even a magical event in Luoyang, China. All of it is true. It is a magnificent, one-of-a-kind adventure book, unlike any other available today.

“I am grateful every day for life,” Mailman stated. “It is an amazing gift in which each choice we make becomes our history and present reality at the same time, while etching out our possible paths to the future.

“I wrote the ‘Finding 42’ series to remind people of the importance and magnitude of choice. I had worked very hard my entire life, but I knew that a different reality must be available. I also knew that I was the only person who could change my reality, through trusting in faith and intuition… something that frightens the mind incredibly. In the breaths that people will breathe through each chapter, my hope is that my experiences, adventures, and words, along with my genuine Love for humankind will swirl their magical truths into their hearts and lives as well. It is not a matter of becoming connected, it is the realization that we always have been. ‘Finding 42’ provides understanding, insight and knowledge, new to the reader, but ancient indeed.”

Benny writes about his amazing travel adventures to encourage seekers of true freedom to follow their hearts and change their realities. In doing so, they will witness the deep connections we have to all humans, animals, and the earth. They will find Love.

Benny believes in sitting calmly and observing the world as it unfolds in slow motion. In every village, city, and country, Benny high-fives, shares music, and exchanges smiles with people of all ages, cultures, ethnicities, and religions. He exchanges Love.

In 'Finding 42’, Benny brings readers along as not just observers, but as fellow travelers. In his heart, anyone who reads this series is instantly his friend. His hope is that it stirs the magic within us, to join him and change our reality into that of our desires and wishes. It is all about Love for him.

Readers have given 'Finding 42' rave reviews. One stated, ". . . A trip of a lifetime, the friendships/memories made, the places visited, will make you wish you had traveled with him." Another said, ". . . This book was a real breath of fresh air. It was pure joy reading it and remembering it. I look forward to Benny's next book and all the fun, wonders and delights it will bring."

Benny Mailman is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at findingzen42@gmail.com. 'Finding 42' is available at online book retailers. An audio version of the book is available. It is available in Spanish in hardcover, e-book, and paperback. More information, including travel pictures and video, is available at his website at http://bennymailman42.com.

About Benny Mailman:

Benny currently lives in Siem Reap, Cambodia. He has been there for over 5 years, and has been married to his wife Vicheka, for 3 of those years. He is currently working on the release of Book 2, scheduled for later this year.

Four Ideas That Can Help Readers Move Beyond The Pandemic Offered By Louise Pistole, Author Of New Motivational Christian Book, ‘Discover Your Joy’

Pistole is an author, blogger, coach and motivational speaker who describes herself as a "joy-fanatic".

A recent article by CNBC stated, “America is ‘closer to the beginning’ of the pandemic than the end.” The article goes on to discuss how Americans enjoyed some normalcy of life during the summer. But now, virus cases are once again spiking out of control and are fueled by the delta variant.

People had ditched their masks but now even vaccinated people are encouraged, or even required, to wear masks again. Discouragement has set in.

And Americans are now anxious, depressed, burned out and angry about everything associated with the pandemic. Life seems to be backsliding instead of moving forward to healing.

So how can we mentally cope with life during the pandemic? How can we move from anxiety to living a life of joy? Louise Pistole, author of ‘Discover Your Joy’, offers four strategies that can help readers not just survive, but thrive.

One. Scale back the intake of news and social media. Both of these outlets fill readers’ minds with worrisome thoughts. Instead, look for positive things happening in life and focus on those things.

Spend time with other positive-minded people who will help focus on the good things in life. And, use positivity to encourage others who need a boost.

Laughter is a great form of stress relief and is good for the soul. Look for a reason to laugh every day to increase positivity and push negativity to the curb.

Two. Spend time in gratitude. By taking a few moments every day to express gratitude, life can make a change in a positive direction. As simple as this idea is, it is also sometimes difficult to be grateful when everything seems to be packed full of negativity.

Gradually ease into starting each day by saying a simple ‘thank you’ and follow up with a few things to be grateful for. Move on to writing a gratitude list in a journal.

Gratitude brings to attention the positive values that often get suppressed in the busyness of life. The more grateful one is, the more there is to be grateful for. Gratitude is truly the pathway to joy.

Three. Rely on hope. Hope is being positive under circumstances that are considered to be desperate. It is during the storms of life that a person needs to maintain positive thoughts and cling to hope. It provides courage, determination, and perseverance to cope and move forward.

Current problems or concerns will seem less difficult to bear by following a beacon of hope and encouragement. Joy comes after the darkness has passed.

Four. Nurturing the inner spirit is a form of self-care which is one of the best ways to preserve mental stability and is essential to living a life of joy. When lives are empty of energy, love, compassion, and kindness, everything else in life suffers.

Swap the chaos for calm by taking a walk in nature. Absorb the sights and sounds. Pause and listen. Let the mind wander. This activates all the feel-good hormones and reduces stress levels.

Meditation is a state of mind that de-clutters the brain and helps to reduce negativity. The result is a heightened self-awareness that focuses on peace and calm.

Yoga combines breathing and stretching to reduce stress. It opens the mind and fills the body with positive energy. Thoughts are clearer and the mind is more creative. It is the perfect recipe to be free from anxiety and depression.

Any form of self-care helps to heal the mind, body, and soul.

Moving from anxiety, depression, or trauma to living a life of joy may seem impossible. How does one actually live a life filled with joy? Author and motivational speaker Louise Pistole has discovered the key to doing just that. She gives us that key in her latest book, 'Discover Your Joy: Daily Splashes of Inspiration for Living an Abundant Life of Happiness, Blessings, and Inner Peace'. It is a book unlike any other you will ever read.

While many of us believe that happiness is found at the end of some long, arduous process, it is instead that we begin from a state of joy. Some of us have it backwards. Joy is not a reward - it is a choice. And because it is a choice, it is something over which we hold total control. That choice can be made now - today.

Many of us feel hopeless and joyless. Perhaps our intentions are out of alignment with our actions. Surprisingly we can live in joy every day of our lives, but again - it is a choice.

"I made my choice one Sunday morning about 12 years ago when my minister spoke about being joyful and watching out for joy-stealers," Pistole stated. "His message resonated with me and I began my journey to joy through reading, studying, and writing. As I began choosing joy day after day, it gradually became a habit in my life. Now my mission is to guide others to discover their own joy through these daily inspirational readings."

In Discover Your Joy, readers will:

• Enjoy daily inspiration for happiness and joyfulness,
• Learn how to live an abundant life filled with gratitude, hope, and joy,
• Discover inner peace through encouraging words,
• Discover how to become a Joy-Fanatic and enjoy one's best life.

A quick inspirational read every morning helps readers discover ‘moments of joy’ each day. Chock full of encouragement and motivation, readers will learn to seek and experience gratitude, hope, and true joy.

Readers and reviewers alike have praised 'Discover Your Joy'. One said, "Each page in "Discover Your Joy" is a simple and beautiful reminder that the world may not be perfect, there will always be the ups and the downs, but we have the ability to CHOOSE each day how we will use this gift we call life. I highly recommend this book!!" Another stated, "Pistole gives great insight into ways to remind us that our joy is important and to beware of “joy stealers”. This book is a great way to start your mornings with a great cup of coffee and to discover your joy each and every day!"
