Meet The Author - Dr. Rob Garcia

Chairman & CEO at SHIFT Advanced Life Design Magazine and works as Executive Director of Strategy at IQ Podcasts

All of us have a Warrior Strategist inside of us. A champion undeterred by circumstance, station in life or obstacles. After growing up in a low-income family and failing out of high school and college, I set out on a path to inspire and lead from the front.

I love helping people to realize their purpose and to achieve far past what they thought possible.

After 8 books, 135+ interviews, starting a magazine, and winning a business award, I realize that anything is possible with hard work and determination.

Meet The Author - Alan T. Black

I was raised and grew up in the United Methodist Church. While I do proudly embrace my background and personal history within the United Methodist Church, I do feel that ultimately what is important is not the denomination that you are a part of. What matters most is the relationship that you have with the Lord. Part and parcel to any relationship is the level of commitment that one makes to it. With any and all relationships, they are going to take time to grow.

Through the years, if I were to describe my relationship with the Lord using one word it would be “transformation.” Continuing to grow daily in my walk with the Lord, and as well continue to display the fruits of his Spirit daily is for me what my life is all about. Frankly, for these times, my attitude and belief are that the world is looking to those who are Christians to see if, in fact, their talk does indeed match their walk.

As is the case with each of us I have experienced many twists and turns along the road of life. But each and every step along that road has led me to this point in life to humbly say that I am an author. But most of all to be able to say that I am a Christian author to me is the most important thing of all.

To everything there is a time and season. Though I was unsure of what was in store for me, I am blessed to say that by just being obedient and trusting in the Lord I am now able to say and mostly importantly show others that God will qualify you and lead you to accomplish what His charge is for you by just being a willing servant. As this is a fact, what He has done through me, it was done so to give Him the glory.

Yvonne Wakefield, also known as Yvonne Pepin-Wakefield, is an internationally exhibited and published artist and author who lives and works from a home and studio on Oregon’s shore of The Columbia River.

Both of her books, Suitcase Filled with Nails: Lesson Learned from Teaching Art in Kuwait, and Babe in the Woods: Building a Life One Log at a Time, are available in print, digital and audio formats and have been the focus of film, television, and radio interviews across the country, including Rick Steves NPR program, in addition to being reviewed in print and electronic media and incorporated into college curriculum.

In 2018 Yours in Sisterhood, a documentary, premiering at the Berlineal, included an interview with Yvonne at her log cabin with filmmaker Irene Lusztig.

Babe in the Woods: Self Portrait is the second in a three-book series centered on living alone in a wilderness log cabin Yvonne built at age 18. It is a true story of her relationship with woodsy things in a place of risk and isolation.

Over four decades later the log walls and the author show signs of weathering, but both remain rooted in a place of peace, quiet, beauty and repose.
