It’s fairly widely understood that life is about more than the experiences of the body and the mind, but it takes a special kind of commitment to also engage one’s soul in our day-to-day encounters. Those willing to make this remarkable choice can “raise the vibration” of every one of those encounters—even their momentary or seemingly insignificant exchanges with others—to a level that touches the heart of our very reason for being alive . . . allowing us to come alive in ways that can utterly transform our entire journey upon the earth.
Knowing this is one thing. Knowing how to do it is another. There are no schools offering courses in Soul Connection and in teaching how to express ourselves from a state of being that arises far beyond the limits of the mind. There is now, however, a more clearly articulated path and process which has the potential to be some of the most enriching experiences of our life. Tara-jenelle Walsch tells us that it takes Soul Courage. And, we are assured, the rewards can be extraordinary, changing for the better all the rest of the days of our life.
Tara-jenelle Walsch is the author of the book Soul Courage and the founder and spirit behind the greeting card company, Soulebrate. Soulebrate cards are being sold in hundreds of stores worldwide, carrying her messages of encouragement & empowerment, as well as specialty designs created for best-selling authors such as Tony Robbins, Byron Katie and Neale Donald Walsch.
Tara-jenelle speaks publicly about emotional awareness and a concept called, “Soulcialize,” which she believes creates soul connection and has the ability to enrich the world at large. She was raised in Annapolis, Maryland and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications from Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland. Tara-jenelle currently lives in Ashland, Oregon with her fur angel, Sascha.
Are you a shmuck getting sucked into the shenanigans from the elections? Well, today Maura enlightens you so you can find your way back to peace.
The contrast between polarity and peace came into sharp focus recently with the 2016 U.S. Presidential election process and the division and strife that followed. In this timely, yet evergreen, episode, we take a look at the distinctions between what it feels like to live in polarity and what it’s like to abide in peace. Discover how peace is not the opposite of someone else’s position. Instead, it paves a third path for anyone seeking inner happiness. Choosing to live in peace provides us opportunity to think, envision and operate in ways that promote new outcomes and increase our sense of personal agency. Learn more about living in peace here. Then, find out what makes a street drummer on NYC’s High Line happy from the inside out, too. #PresidentialElection #Trump #Hillary #Peace #Inspiration #Empowerment #Hope

Ann Chiappetta turned blind 20 years ago. For those of you sitting at home feeling sorry for the state of your life, this episode will wake you up and kick you in the gut.
With the gift of technology, Ann was able to get on the path to her dream and purpose of becoming a writer and she shares her story on her debut poetry book, Upwelling.
THAT will get you thinkin' thinkin'!
Guide dogs, death, and a disturbing dream. Marriage, memories, and intriguing mysteries. Eroticism, abortion, and a wonderfully poetic essay. In this collection of 23 of her short, accessible poems from several decades, Ann Chiappetta explores an enormous range of emotions and topics.
"Orbituary" mourns the removal of an eye. "Verona" and "In Those Dark Moments" are tributes to her beloved guide dog. "Appearances" offers reflections on adjusting to blindness. Four of the poems deal with the illness and death of others and her enduring grief. "Root Cellar" is like a miniature horror movie. "The Marriage Pot" employs a much-used spaghetti pot as a symbol for the vicissitudes of a long marriage. "Helium" offers a balloon’s view of its surroundings. "NoneTheWiser" gives us the words of an unconventional little girl.
These poems may variously pierce your heart or warm it, surprise you or amuse you. But they will surely move you and make for lasting memories.

When it comes to living happy from the inside out, inspiration plays a major role in the process. In this podcast, we’ll explore several meanings for the word that help provide familiarity with the emotions, energies and atmospheres that accompany inspiration. Next, I share two personal stories that demonstrate how inspiration (or the lack of it) plays a part in our human experience. As I talk about both a private discourse and a public event, you’ll learn how individuals felt, responded and reacted as a result of feeling more -- or less – inspired. Be empowered in your own life as you grow more mindful and cognizant of the power of inspiration. Not only will you find it a means to greater happiness, but you’ll see how it opens the door to so much more in the realm of positive possibilities. Then, listen to Alex Okoroji from Nigeria as she shares what makes her happy from the inside out, too. #Inspiration #Happiness #Peacefulness #Empowerment #Mindfulness #Empowerment #Maura4u

Today I, your Favorite French Canucker, GO THERE. This novel is nothing like Fifty Shades, uh, uh. Sex, murder, suspense, swing houses, that's the way we like it. Novelist A. Gavazzoni chats with us on her debut novel.
When Lara dies at the hands of a Manhattan lawyer during a sex game, his defense attorney, Carl, hires Simone, a psychiatrist, professor and author of books on sexual behavior to help him buttress his argument that Lara’s death was accidental. To help his defense, Carl’s client has written a detailed account of his steamy, year-long relationship with Lara. Carl gives the text to Simone for analysis. While evaluating the presumed killer’s writing, Simone continues to receive psychiatric patients with sexual disorders and unusual fantasies, and to research strange sexual behavior for her next book.
Meanwhile, Simone’s clinical partner, friend and research colleague, Edward, is working with the police to capture a serial killer who is torturing and killing women. From hot and unusual sex and interesting psychiatric patients, to the swing houses of New York and Paris, this fast-paced page-turner is a blend of mystery, suspense, humor, romance and erotica.

Have you ever met someone and immediately disliked him/her? Ever wonder why your relationships are screwed up? There's a reason. Ever felt like you were in the wrong career? There's a reason, sportsfans. And Dondi Dahlin's new book will answer your questions.
Wanna ride Space Mountain, Baby? Listen to today's episode. Carefully.
The Five Elements brings the wisdom of an ancient healing system to modern readers, helping them understand themselves--why they do what they do--better.
Dondi Dahlin shows us that we are all born with individual rhythms that go beyond the influence of our genes and upbringing. The five elements originated in ancient Chinese medicine over 2,000 years ago--when scholars theorized that the universe is composed of five forces: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Understanding these elements helps us stay in balance physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. By explaining the efficacy of wood, the depth of water, the joy of fire, the compassion of earth, and the wisdom of metal, this book helps people understand themselves and form lasting connections to others, answering the age-old question of why we do what we do.
Would you like to make perfect peace with your past, regardless of what that despicable person did to you? Regardless of that really stupid, stupid thing you did?
Contrary to conventional thinking, you can have enduring and lasting peace of mind—right now, regardless of what happened in your past. In Spiritual Healing: Making Peace with Your Past, Michael Sage Hider will instill in you the know-how to bravely face and triumphantly slay the Other People Dragon, the Me Dragon, and the Fate Dragon.
What the Bleep do we Know? Remember the life-changing documentary? Well, today we're chatting with its producer, William Arntz, who recently co-authored another life-changing "little" book, The (not so) Little Book of Surprises!
What is Surprise in your life but an instant opportunity for transformation? An unexpected moment that sends you careening into joy and wonder, or spiraling into deep thought and life-changing new awareness.
The (not so) Little Book of Surprises brings all that home in—of course—surprising ways! A mystical journey into consciousness, an exploration of what touches our souls, a laugh you never saw coming, and an inspiration for becoming our better selves are just some of the milestones in store for those embarking on this magical journey.
Created by William Arntz, the filmmaker who brought you What the Bleep Do We Know!?, The (not so) Little Book of Surprises takes the poetry, wisdom teachings and otherworldly visions of Deirdre Hade and the exquisite images of award-winning photographer Endre Balogh into a new world of words and pictures, of revelation and delight.
When defining yourself as generous- or not - do you restrict the meaning of the word to giving others big presents or large sums of money? The concept of generosity carries far greater meaning, one that starts with the heart. In fact, when distilled down to its earlier roots, generosity actually points to the “great soul” within us, one that finds varied ways to express itself liberally in the world. In this podcast, learn some of the finer attributes that constitute generosity. Discover also how we can see ourselves in grander and more gracious fashion, even when others around us are having trouble viewing themselves well. Expect to connect with peace, happiness and a greater measure of well being. Then, listen in as Diane Kutz shares with us what makes her happy from the inside out, too. #Happiness #Spirituality #SelfDevelopment #Gratitude #Generosity #Peace
Today I, your Favorite French Canucker, go to Perkins School as we chat with Robert Branco about succeeding despite being blind. For those of you with excuses, this will kick you in the butt.
Smell what I'm cookin'...?
Robert Branco is a life-long resident of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Legally blind since birth, Robert attended "sight-saving classes" in the public school system until his parents learned of the Perkins School for the Blind. Robert has self-published four books, including one chronicling his life at Perkins, two collections of essays, and a cookbook. He is currently the publisher of the online newsletter Consumer Vision Magazine, commissioner of an adult slow-pitch softball league, and the president of a bowling league for disabled persons. He also loves sharing his views on numerous issues pertaining to blindness, including legislation, discrimination, employment, adaptive technology, and myths about the visually impaired.
People have lots of questions about the blind. These include what was it like growing up without sight, how did it feel going away to a special school at the age of 12, what was it like living at Perkins School, and so much more. My life experiences have convinced me that there are many people who simply do not feel comfortable asking these kinds of questions, but who really are interested in knowing the answers.
If you, as a sighted person, have ever wondered what a blind person is capable of doing, the answer is that we're no different from the sighted. What we don't know, we are taught.

This is a replay of an interview I did back in February 2016 with one of the most sought-after coach and teacher in the biz!
In 2009 Cory started TheAbundantArtist.com (TAA for short) as a way teaching internet marketing to his artist friends who were asking him for help. Since then, he's helped dozens of artists go from never sold anything to now selling pieces monthly or weekly. Some of his artist friends and clients have gone on to sell their work for $20,000 or more.
He teaches artists to dispel the starving artist myth by using the Web to sell art directly to their fans. If you want to get into a gallery or museum, the marketing skills he teaches can help you do that. Building your own business online can be complimentary to a gallery business for the right artists and galleries.

Whether you realize it or not, there is a beauty that is waiting to be discovered in you. We often reduce our ideas about beauty into narrow categories that restrict our awareness and experience of beauty. But there are definitions to beauty that far exceed our imagination and beg for disclosure in and through your life. Join me in this podcast as we take a look at fuller definitions of beauty and consider how limiting our traditional senses are to perceive it. You’ll come away with an increased consciousness and expectation of what’s yet to be manifested about true and lasting beauty. Inspiration, empowerment and self-help for anyone seeking to better their own life experience and the experience of others around them. Then, listen to coach and fellow podcaster Jody Flynn as she shares what makes her happy from the inside out, too. #Beauty #Inspiration #Empowerment #Happiness

In his music and as he hopes to celebrate multiculturalism & diversity, and to help promote a world in which traditional art forms and the (transformed & diversified) international mainstream can exist side by side.

If you’ve ever baked cookies with a cookie cutter, you’ll know exactly where this message is heading. In this light hearted podcast, I talk about the well-intentioned but sometimes limited paths we occupy because of our upbringing and “cookie cutter” social training. As a result, many of us leave extra cookie dough on the kitchen’s cutting room table. We’ve forgotten to cook up our life with self-expressed flavorings, spices and flair. Listen as I share a bit about zumba instructor Debbie Rivas who grew out of her own cookie cutter upbringing. Drawing upon an early but unfulfilled desire to become a teacher, she continues to grow and express her life in new and fun ways toward that end. Doing so, she’s become her own kind of cookie – a happy one. Then, listen to author Brenda Martin share what makes her happy from the inside out, too!

“It’s LEN!” will have the feeling of a live reality show, while at the same time take on the form of a wholesome comedy series. Many of these kinds of series do very well because the audience forgets they are watching a comedy while being pulled into a virtual real world.
The series seeks to educate the viewer rather than merely amuse them. In other words, while Len gets himself into comedic situations, similar to a reality show, the viewers are not only entertained, but exposed to real life problemsthat many up and coming artists have to deal with when struggling to succeed in the industry.
The viewing audience will get to experience two siblings from two very opposite worlds struggle in a quest to find themselves and win against very thin odds within a cut throat industry that shows no mercy, especially to two individuals, who desperately need to find their way.
We’ve all experienced some bad examples in life. Bad examples show up as parents, teachers, bosses and other supposedly superior personalities. Their effects often remain with us, even long after those relationships have passed! In this podcast, I share two bad examples I had in my life and how the difficulties I experienced were ultimately used for good. We’ll look into why some people we’ve expected better from flounder in their own frailties. We’ll also consider how to become beneficiaries of what we’ve learned from others’ errors. If you have struggled with bad examples in life or ever felt like a victim, this is an empowering and thought-provoking podcast. Expect it to help you move forward in life as you change your perceptions, create new intentions and make a choice for inner happiness on the subject. Then, listen in to Frederic Bye from Montreal, Canada as he shares what makes him happy from the inside out, too. #Leadership #Empowerment #Influence #Happiness #EmotionalIntelligence

Have we substituted money for our true wealth, what American essayist Henry David Thoreau describes as the ability to fully experience life?
The question has often piqued my curiosity.
If money were the final arbiter to an abundant life, wouldn’t those with the largest sums of it would be legendary? They’d claim the best health and longevity; the greatest joys from personal pursuits; the happiest marriages and relationships; and the highest levels of peace and well-being.
But they don’t.
Admittedly, money is a necessary vehicle of exchange that provides us with access to clothing, shelter and transportation. Money can connect us with lots of good things, but it has hardly lived up to its reputation for delivering us true wealth.
