Meet Carrie Galligan a remarkable woman whose journey exemplifies resilience, courage, and a relentless zest for life. In December 2023, she faced an unexpected health crisis, discovering black spots in her vision that led to a challenging diagnosis: multiple sclerosis (MS). Rather than being defined by MS, she embraced her diagnosis as an opportunity to empower others, becoming an MS Ambassador dedicated to raising awareness and championing holistic wellness. Her healing journey is as vibrant and diverse as her spirit. Alongside traditional medical care from her neurologist, primary care physician, and ophthalmologist, she's assembled a team of holistic practitioners—including Reiki masters, an Eden Energy healer, and even a Rolfing specialist. She discovered a profound passion in Crystal Bowl Healing, now performing regularly at senior centers and local businesses, bringing peace, relaxation, and healing vibrations to the community. With humor and authenticity, she maintains a resilient mindset—acknowledging life's challenges but refusing to dwell. Her mantra? "Fate said to the warrior, 'Charge forward!'" Whether tending her garden, enjoying a glass of wine, or dancing to her favorite tunes, she demonstrates that true resilience means embracing life's joys and prioritizing self-care. Today, she's not just surviving—she's thriving, teaching others how to live courageously, laugh often, and prioritize self-care on their own journeys. Let's welcome an MS warrior, crystal bowl healer, and life enthusiast—someone who reminds us all that life is about thriving, not just surviving.

A storyteller by nature, Karen Rieser threads together both fact and fiction to deliver her message. Her love of nature, her desire for all animals to be treated ethically, and a yearning to know the rest of the story motivates her to write.

A Michigan native, he has a way of both capturing and transcending the natural world around him. A graduate from the University of Michigan, Trevor uses his classical training to upend the conventions of art, exploring media and subject in a way that is entirely unique.

A prolific and accomplished writer, he has published four books of poetry. He also continues to compose and produce music for the piano.

He currently lives in McBain, Michigan with his wife and two young children.

As a native of Michigan, Rick Bartrand enjoys spending his time outdoors in the peaceful company of trees and enjoying wildlife photography or writing about his experiences and the insightful wisdom he has gained from them.

Because of his passion for exploration and learning new things, Rick has held many titles in his vocational pursuits, all the way from flipping fast-food burgers to owning his own businesses in graphic design, signage, photography, handyman services, and helping those in need of a thought coach.

Rick has also been employed as an over-the-road truck driver, maintenance, supervisory positions in manufacturing warehouses, construction, various other odd jobs, and everything in between. Rick also served his country honorably in the U.S. Navy as an aircrewman on a combat support helicopter.

These pursuits have given him a tremendous amount of experience to pull from regarding critical thinking and charting out new territories to explore. One of those territories inadvertently ended up being writing.

After around 20+ years of journaling to just get what was stored in his head out into the open, the title of "writer/author" finally took hold and quickly rose to the surface of pursuits, which led him to write his first book entitled, "Bite Size Life Lessons" Modern-day proverbs.

This sparked the smoldering fodder of experiences into a raging forest fire of future titles that number just under 20 and counting. Needless to say, he has his newly found passion cut out for him, which also includes speaking engagements and organizing a curriculum to teach those who are pursuing self-improvement.
