Victoria Barton’s routine life is tarnished only by her memories of her tumultuous youth. A runaway at sixteen, she fled with her boyfriend to the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco in 1968, and eventually to Woodstock. The only hippie in the Haight to never do drugs, Victoria is at a loss to explain why she is plagued by memories—bitter and sweet—and nightmares that she can’t remember upon awakening.Her sleepy southern Illinois hometown seems comfortable and far removed from the Haight, until a boy’s pet is killed in a ritualistic fashion. When a woman is attacked next, Victoria is forced to ask: What is it about her past that’s connected to the very real violence happening now?

Young Vickie adapts to her new life with the hippies in Haight-Ashbury while keeping away from the “fuzz” who send home runaways like her. But it is not the paradise that Robbie promised her. She catches her boyfriend with other women both at home in San Francisco and later at Woodstock, and she realizes that her love will never be enough for him. Vickie faces the choice between the man she loves and the life she left behind in Illinois. After Woodstock, they retreat to New York City to rest before the long trip back across the country. But the party takes a deadly turn.

In 1992, Victoria realizes her memories are warning her of danger for her entire hometown. She races home together with her fiancé, Gary, only to find that the trouble has already begun.

With the body count rising, Victoria and Gary face the coming storm.

When another familiar face from her past show up, she wonders if her ex is really the evil mastermind. What connection could there be between the murders and her hippie friends?

Permanent Happiness, by Iyabo Ojikutu, MD

The Only Way to Find Peace, Joy, and Your Life-Given Purpose

“Another book about happiness?” What does this one have to say that we all have not heard before? And is happiness really an achievable state of being?

We never stop craving happiness. It is the world’s most sought-after feeling and emotion. As we wake up each morning, we do so hoping to find happiness in all that we experience, whether we are consciously aware of this desire or not.

We do, of course, find happiness at different points and phases in our lives. The problem is, this situational happiness tends to be short lived. We are happy for a few days and then fall back into anxiety, sadness, and/or worry.

Permanent Happiness outlines three easy steps to pursuing permanent happiness. It tackles key life situations we encounter during our daily living and shows how to pursue peace and be positive influencers on those around us. When our lives are in balance, we discover we let go of the stress and worry that arise when life throws us curveballs.

Get ready to be challenged and inspired. More importantly, get ready to learn about and understand permanent happiness and peace from a different perspective!

Eat Live Thrive Diet

Multi-faceted Approach To Total Health Transformation Invites Women On A Lifestyle Journey Designed To Rev Up Their Midlife Metabolisms, Achieve Physical, Emotional Freedom

San Diego, CA, July 15, 2019 — Co-authors and well-known health and lifestyle coaches Danna Demetre, R.N., 67, and Robyn Thomson, A.C.W.P., 53, of the widely popular website, Lean Healthy Ageless, invite every woman on a lifestyle journey who has believed the lie that her best body, health and life are in the past.

In their new practical, science-based book Eat, Live, Thrive Diet: A Lifestyle Plan to Rev Up Your Midlife Metabolism (March 2019, WaterBrook, a division of Penguin Random House), Demetre and Thomson offer understanding, encouragement and hope as they share personal experiences of battling weight gain and emotional eating in order to help others transform their lives, especially with age.

Demetre and Thomson unravel the mystery of why women gain weight as they age and offer a sustainable plan to permanently lose pounds and inches. Together they explore the question, “What if there was a way to turn back the scale and the clock with an inspiring lifestyle plan designed to help women rev up their midlife metabolisms and achieve physical and emotional freedom even as they age?”

Demetre and Thomson reveal, “The Eat Live Thrive Diet addresses the whole woman – body, soul and spirit. It takes a multi-faceted approach to total transformation. We focus on changing habits from the inside out and do not offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Our diet allows women to customize their long-term eating plan to address their specific food sensitivities, carbohydrate thresholds, and personal likes and dislikes. We promote ‘progress over perfection’ and emphasize that it is the small steps that they take consistently that will add up to big results.”

Furthermore, Demetre and Thomson also note that even though about 30 percent of a woman’s health and vitality is out of her control due to her genetics and gender, such as genetic predispositions to certain diseases or metabolic challenges and various hormonal shifts throughout the years—the good news is that 70 percent is in her control. That 70 percent is her lifestyle, which makes a much bigger impact on a woman’s future than she thinks.

Whereas most diets are short-lived or require substantial upkeep, Eat, Live, Thrive Diet is a viable eating plan that can be adhered to indefinitely. This three-phase nutritional journey allows each individual to personalize her own story of transformation, learning not only how to successfully lose weight safely, but also how to improve overall health and energy in critical areas such as brain function, disease prevention and slowing down the aging process. The book also highlights health risks and drawbacks of many popular fad diets that can be harmful on a long-term basis.

Key content from this inspiring lifestyle plan includes:

• Three-phase plan:

The Elimination Phase – temporary elimination of several key foods known
to promote insulin resistance and cause allergies, sensitivities, and
inflammation
The Discovery Phase – determine which foods are troublesome for you
The Lifestyle Phase – design an ideal long-term eating plan that accommodates your specific needs and preferences

• God-centered principles, such as renewing the mind, to prepare for lasting change both physically and spiritually

• Delicious recipes, healthy shortcuts and tips for food substitutions designed to easily adopt and sustain a healthy lifestyle

“I only wish it had not taken me decades to figure out the healthiest way to balance my body, soul and spirit in a way that honored God and promoted lasting change,” says Demetre. “I’m here to share that there is a path to freedom! I’ve experienced lasting weight loss and health for over 30 years and believe you can realize the same results if you follow our program and commit to changing your habits in God-honoring ways.”

Together, Demetre and Thomson shout from the rooftops that “a woman’s best years ever can be ahead of her when she puts the Eat, Live, Thrive Diet and Lifestyle plan into action!”

Turn Your Life Around in 30 Days

book cover

 

Our founder Lakhinder J.S. Vohra has written a new book, “Turn Your Life Around in 30 Days”, a spiritual practice and primer for today’s generation.

You can get a free download copy just by signing the #RecoveryChallenge at lakvohra.com.

Here’s what he said about it:

Hi, my name is Lakhinder and I’m an Addiction Recovery coach. I’ve been in the addiction space in daily interactions with addicts on and off for 10 years.

I’m a lifelong recovering addict who is cross-addicted. If there is a vice, I’ve tried it or come close to trying it. My work comprises working with addicts that are suffering and are facing life-altering circumstances, such as homelessness, arrest or pre- or post-incarceration. I work a lot with alcohol, porn, love and sex addicts. That’s not to say that I haven’t worked with drug addicts because all addictions are related and my role is to help you understand an addict better and as a fellow addict guide you to resources that are proven tools of Recovery. I’m not a therapist or a shrink. Just someone who may be of help where help is needed.

Consider me a Sobriety Coordinator or Counselor.

Burning Man 2018

Sunday, August 26 to Monday, September 3
Black Rock City

Once a year, tens of thousands of people gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. In this crucible of creativity, all are welcome.

Burning Man Project’s mission is to produce the annual event known as Burning Man and to guide, nurture and protect the more permanent community created by its culture. Our intention is to generate society that connects each individual to his or her creative powers, to participation in community, to the larger realm of civic life, and to the even greater world of nature that exists beyond society.

We believe that the experience of Burning Man can produce positive spiritual change in the world. To this end, it is equally important that we communicate with one another, with the citizens of Black Rock City and with the community of Burning Man wherever it may arise. Burning Man is radically inclusive, and its meaning is potentially accessible to anyone.

The touchstone of value in our culture will always be immediacy: experience before theory, moral relationships before politics, survival before services, roles before jobs, embodied support before sponsorship. Finally, in order to accomplish these ends, Burning Man must endure as a self-supporting enterprise that is capable of sustaining the lives of those who dedicate themselves to its work. From this devotion spring those duties that we owe to one another.

We will always burn the Man.
