Died Three Times Lived Once by Robert Garcia
Today at 1:23 AM

You know there are things in life we can never change. There will always be negative and false issues as obstacles so we will think there is no hope to change. As many of us, with no proper guidance the road to do the right things, and to make the right choices, can be scary, to have fear of the unknown. What I am about to show to my interested readers, as a boy, a teenager, a veteran and as a citizen, and how I lost everything, by hitting rock bottom.

I’m on Assignment! An Alternate View of Past Lives, The Impact on Our Current Lives, Soul Mates, World History, and the Akashic Records by Diane Taylor
Last Sunday at 9:14 AM

We all get discouraged from time to time about how our lives are going, and it’s in that level of discomfort that we question our existence and what our purpose is. Our path is more obvious than we think once we learn to read the signs, and our connection with the spirit world is much stronger than we think when we learn how to pay attention.

REVERBERATIONS Book 2: O Brave New Normal World Living With Coronavirus
09/15/2025

The pandemic unleashed a strange half-world – not the comfortably familiar one we all knew and loved, but one in which we had to tread carefully and remain vigilant. Subsequently, it became a game of risk management that created tensions between the political desire to return to some form of normality and the need to protect lives. Inevitably, this conflict of interests led to confusion, confrontation and, sadly, deaths. Despite some catastrophic misjudgments at the governmental level, we ourselves must also shoulder some of the blame.

Grief, Forgiveness, Acceptance, and Rejection by Dr. Daniel Brubaker
12/09/2024

Healthcare providers and the public had no education about how to conduct end of life grieving until 1969 when Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross published her experiences with hospice patients who were at the end of their life. She was a Swiss-American psychiatrist, a pioneer in near-death studies, and author of the internationally best-selling book, On Death and Dying (1969). In her book, Kübler-Ross discusses her theory of the five stages of grief, now known as the “Kübler-Ross model”. Since then, grief has been expanded into different areas other than end of life.
