  • XZRS: LORI CARTAGENA - The Heartbreak Option - An Inspiring True Story
    The Heartbreak Option - An Inspiring True Story - Born and educated in Brisbane, Australia, Lori showed a love of the arts and entertainment from a very early age. At just 17 years, she ventured to Sydney where R&R was in full swing in 1967, to pursue her passion. It wasn't long before an American Entrepreneur recruited Lori for one of his shows already touring War torn Vietnam in South East Asia. For more than a year she entertained American and Australian troops before returning to Australia briefly. A six-month romance with an American soldier in Vietnam was the original reason Lori journeyed to the USA, but she eventually landed in Canada. For several months Lori taught ballroom dancing in Toronto before leaving the freezing Canadian winter and headed south to sunny Florida with a girlfriend. This turbulent year would ultimately change her life forever. Over the next 13 years, Lori spent her life in both Canada and the U.S. She lived in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Miami, New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, constantly experiencing many new adventures and career changes. She also travelled quite extensively throughout other parts of America as well visiting surrounding Islands both in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It wasn't until the 1980's that Lori, her new husband, Greg and six-month-old infant son, Chris, left the United States to reside in Australia. In 1989, after making several trips back and forth to America they all eventually settled in Australia permanently. However, in 2005, another life changing event took place. This was the catalyst that finally gave the author the inspiration to complete this story. She had made attempts to put her version on pen and paper for years, but there was something missing, and she just couldn't work up the courage to divulge so much of her past life. In May 2005, Lori's secret son who she gave away for adoption in Miami, Florida in 1970 suddenly reappeared in her life. She had just about given up hope of ever finding him, but after a ten-year search, he found her in Australia. The wonderful story of this heart wrenching reunion was published in a two-page story in the June 26, 2006 issue in the Australian Woman's Day. Along with the encouragement of her friend and mentor, award winning author and journalist Alan Veitch, the project began and three years later the manuscript was completed. Lori wants this story to be an inspiration for everyone out their searching for their own missing links and encourage them not to give up. It took 35 years, but it just goes to show that miracles can happen! - http://www.loridcartagena.com/

  • XZRS: DR STUART BRAMHALL - The Most Revolutionary Act
    The Most Revolutionary Act: Memoir of an American Refugee - Dr Bramhall is a 62 year old child and adolescent psychiatrist who was born in Milwaukee and graduated from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. She became radicalized in her early thirties, owing in part to the extreme hardship of balancing a medical career with single motherhood, and in part to a growing awareness that her clients' difficulties stemmed from profound economic and social deprivation that she was helpless to address with psychiatric treatment. Most of her activism has focused on the 20 year movement to create a national single payer health care system in the US. Prior to emigrating to New Zealand in 2002, she was a private practice psychiatrist in Seattle for 20 years, and before that in Chico, California for five years. She currently resides in New Plymouth and for the last eight years has worked, as a psychiatrist, for the New Zealand National Health Service. She is also on the National Executive of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand. She is single and has one daughter, a PhD candidate in the Health Sciences Technology Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. - http://stuartbramhall.aegauthorblogs.com

He has been restored financially even during the most difficult time in the global financial crisis that affected the Travel industry severely.

South Africa currently has more than 2 million aids orphans. Martin's vision is to share his message of hope around the world and to get his book into the hands of those who need this message of hope and inspiration. The title of his book "More Than a Million Canaries" is based on scripture from the bible in The Message translation. Luke 12 verse 6 & 7 (The message): What's the price of two or three pet canaries? Some loose change, right? But God never overlooks a single one. And he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail - even numbering the hairs on your head! So don't be intimidated by all this bully talk. You are worth more than a million canaries". www.MartinOosthuizen.com and www.More-Than-A-Million-Canaries.com

  • XZRS: DR BOYD C PURCELL - Spiritual Terrorism
    Spiritual Terrorism - Boyd C. Purcell is a National Board Certified Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor, an Ordained Christian Minister, and a Board Certified Chaplain. Educationally, he has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Comprehensive Social Studies (World/European/American History, Geography, Political Science, etc.) He also has a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling, a Master of Divinity Degree in Biblical Studies, and a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in the integration of psychology and theology. In terms of experience, Dr. Purcell has over 40 years of ministry in counseling: agency, clinical, pastoral, psychiatric hospital, school, substance abuse, private practice, and chaplaincy-providing spiritual care at the end of life for hospice patients. Spiritual Terrorism is thus a unique blend of the historical, psychological, and theological perspectives in regard to major world religions. This integrative approach provides the greatest probability of understanding the complex problem of the use and misuse of religion, being liberated from fear-based religion, and finding healing for damaged emotions due to spiritual abuse/terrorism. Dr. Purcell started using the terms "spiritual abuse" and "spiritual terrorism" early in the 1990's. He presented on these topics to counselors, social workers, hospice personnel, chaplains, and other clergy at various local, state, regional, national, and international conferences. Evaluations were always overwhelmingly positive. Many participants reported that they had never heard of these terms but recognized that they had been spiritually abused. Some clergy and mental-health professionals realized that they had failed to recognize it in former patients and had, consequently, not been able to help them very much and had lacked the knowledge to have made a helpful referral. - www.healingspiritualterrorism.com

  • XZRS: GLEN B STEWART - The Hurricane Man
    The Hurricane Man - Glen B. Stewart has been a alternative health researcher for 32 years. He has been a researcher into Mind Over Matter stemming from ancient martial arts training for 37 years. This has led to world record shattering abilities. Some of these abilities include being the world's fastest man in martial arts with 8 punches in under a second (.97 seconds). In addition his research has extended into the area of the body mind spirit. Here he has discovered breakthroughs in the areas of vibrational energy healing and optimized the area called mind over matter. With his extensive background in optimizing the human body he also discovered that all aspects of nature can be positively influenced with specialized combination of mind over matter techniques and vibrational energy healing. Hurricanes are massive balls of turbulent unstable energies. With this discovery Glen has perfected a training system to duplicate his amazing abilities to diffuse and dissipate even the deadliest hurricanes, typhoons and tornadoes. Today he is successfully dissipated considerably 35 hurricanes three tornadoes and three severe tornado conditions. His abilities can be utilized from anywhere in the world to anywhere else in the world. In addition he discovered that when you combine specially trained vibrational healers from around the world you can in effect both enhance the lifesaving healing abilities and spread them over 24 different time zones. As a result healing the human body or dissipating a hurricane can be accomplished 24 hours a day. This principle is called the Stewart principle of a global healing synergy. - http://Mankind2.com/
