Meet Lynnae Ann https://www.lynnaeann.com I spent 20 years as a Senior Sales Director for Mary Kay Cosmetics. Coaching hundreds and hundreds of women to help them become mentally and emotionally stronger to operate their own businesses. Prior to that, I spent 11 years running a holistic health and healing business. Where I learned the practice of Body, Mind and Spirit and how it is all connected. All of this is not without struggles and I did have challenges to overcome in my own life. During the past 30 years I stayed active and grounded in my own recovery. I dealt with alcoholism, depression, and an eating disorder. After dealing with those experiences, life later challenged me with two divorces and an addict child. It's by the grace of God, I learned patience to live a day at a time. In my pursuit to ground my life, I have masterfully learned to utilize programs, education, Access Consciousness tool, and modalities. This knowledge along with life experience has enabled me to educate my clients in ways to help them control their thoughts and get themselves out of their own head. I teach them to get themselves out of the judgments of other people’s words and move on from the beliefs they may feel stuck in and achieve greater success. I am a consciously aware, sensitive and deep caring woman whose life purpose is to share my experience, strength, education, and hope with everyone. https://www.lynnaeann.com

Two Time Heart Transplant Patient, Steven G. Taibbi, Meets Family of DonorFollowing publication of GRATEFUL GUILT: Living in the Shadow of My Heart - In a rare moment of extended family bonding, Steven Taibbi (author of Grateful Guilt: Living in the Shadow of My Heart) - a two time heart donor recipient - just met with the family of the recent donor. The donor, David Jason Jocobo, a healthy 36 year old man, suffered a brain aneurysm and collapsed in front of the family, dying just three days later. A multiple organ donor, he has now saved many lives, including that of Mr Taibbi. They've been cutting into Steven Taibbi since the day he was born and they still haven't stopped. Operated on right after birth, by the age of six he became the first person to live through two open hearts for ASD repair. Throughout his life, either his parents or he were told that he wouldn't live past 5; then 6; then 10. Steven was told he wouldn't make it out of his teens, which almost came true on his 17th birthday when he had a near fatal heart incident that included an out-of-body experience. Then Steven was told he'd never get out of his 20s. He fooled them all again and when he was 34, he was told that he had beaten it and to go out and live! God had other plans, however, and when he was 46, Steven was diagnosed with idiopathic cardiomyopathy; in other words, he had caught an unknown virus that was killing his heart. That was the reason for his first heart transplant, and he has since had a second one. Grateful Guilt is a true story, one of perseverance, grit, and indefatigable determination. Told without self-pity and with a great deal of humor, it is Steven's hope that Grateful Guilt can provide a beacon of hope to those in need and help them develop survival strategies that can lead to more positive patient outcomes

The Clairvoyants Daughter How do you tell if it’s a monster then?” she asked him, concerned. He smiled and touched a fingertip to the center of her forehead. “You’ll see something wrong here and you’ll feel it here,” as he touched the finger to her chest above her heart. “You have a special kind of sight, Dyane. You get it from me.” Dyane was thrilled and smiled up at her father. “I do?” “Yes,” he said and leaned down closer to whisper, “But it’s a secret. You mustn’t tell anyone unless you know absolutely that you can trust them.” It has been fifteen years since her mom and step-dad were killed in a car accident on Riversbridge Road and Dyane saved herself and her injured sister. Fifteen years since she heard a man laugh while her parents died, a man she knew was a monster. Dyane has hidden her psychic gift, allowing her sister to take the credit for the amazing insights and visions that help people, including local law enforcement when little girls are kidnapped. But the monster of her nightmares has returned and it soon becomes clear that she can no longer hide, not from her talent, not from the monster and not from the hero of her visions, police detective Jefferson Hatch. The violent storm she knew would come has arrived. Time has run out for all of them because the monster is tired of substitutes for the one he really wants—Dyane.

Eric Bolivar is a musician who has shared his talents with people around the world many times over. This musical journey has seen him perform with a wildly diverse group of artists ranging from rock gods to jazz legends, revolutionary punks to hip hop poets, r&b/ funk royalty to cutting edge electronica artists.

But even with his hectic schedule, Eric still finds the time to cram in recording sessions, the occasional clinic and filming for television appearances between trips to the airport.
