Author's Debut Speaks to Hearts of the Abused, Broken, Lonely

There are those who have been rejected, emotionally broken, and who have never known a father's love. Xulon author Pat K. Braswell's debut book, Through the Fires - God gives hope to those people who are searching for healing in God's Word and desiring a personal relationship with their Savior. The author says it is when we face the most difficult times of our life we understand what the true meaning of Isaiah 43:2 is: "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned: neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." When the enemy heats the furnace the hottest, that is when God will prove His power to be the strongest in our lives.

Retirement Benefits Packages in Turmoil: Poll Shows Baby Boomers Looking for Guidance, Fear Employers Can't Help

A slowing economy won't forestall upcoming decisions about employer-based retirement packages for both employers and employees.

Uncovering the Charlotte Art Scene - Upcoming Event Showcases Hidden Jewel" Artists of the Southeast

This is a place where potential, action and trepidation overlap", explains Robert Langford, motioning towards a peeled back, exposed section of his painting, Latent Capabilities".

The painting could also describe the state of the Charlotte art scene, which for years has been stocked with capable artists, but seemingly limited to small galleries in the South End and NoDa. Charlottes casual art fans have long felt out of the loop, often not knowing where to go, or finding out about gallery crawls and events after the fact. However, an upcoming event featuring a Dream Team of southeastern artists is attempting to change that.

Mind Body Psychologist Teaches Building Self Esteem Tips to Holistic Moms

2-6% of American children try to kill themselves each year. Every day six million children, some as young as two, are given Ritalin and other stimulants at the urging of school officials and psychiatrists. Instead of drugging unhappy children or energetic children, use mind body mental health and holistic health tools that build solid self esteem. Wednesday, March, 29th, Holistic Moms sponsors licensed psychologist, Dr. Doris Jeanette's talk, "Building Self Esteem in Children Must Include the Body and Emotions."



Children are conditioned to pay attention to massive amounts of outside stimuli at a very early age; as a result, they learn to please adults. This means they are not taught how to pay attention to their own basic needs or meet their own emotional needs. Children need to learn to listen to their internal stimuli and learn how to meet their own emotional needs. To succeed they must be aware of their body and their feelings. Holistic psychologist, Doris Jeanette’s talk highlights these and other essential ingredients children need in order to build authentic self esteem and avoid the need for drugs or suicide.



Holistic Moms is a national group of mothers actively involved in raising, strong, healthy children. Jennifer Quinn of the Philadelphia chapter says that, " Our purpose is to parent naturally so we continually educate ourselves and our families about alternative health, mindful parenting, and natural healing." Each month experts talk to Holistic Moms so they learn child developmental and child educational ideas they can use to raise healthy children. Topics range from holistic health remedies to relationship advice to mind- body psychology.



Dr. Jeanette's "A Natural Process for Opening the Heart - Your Emotional Guide to Self Esteem" teaches holistic moms and dads how to pay attention to internal stimuli and meet their basic needs so that they can model vibrant emotional health and solid self esteem for their children.

New Ways to Control the Future

Sometimes we feel like life is passing by in front of us. Everybody seems to have everything we always wanted. We feel less worthy than the rest of the world. It is a horrible feeling that devours us every day. Unbearable. Our low self-esteem is due to lack of knowledge. We dont know how to behave, how to dress, how to talk, how to persuade, how to enchant every person we meet.

We dont know how to make our dreams come true either. We dream and dream and everything stays as a dream. Our reality makes us believe this is it, there is nothing else out there for us, only for the lucky ones, the privileged ones, and of course, we are not part of that group.
