Brian’s featured book is entitled: The Habits of Squirrels.
Description:
In this charming, thoughtful meditation on all of life’s journeys, Brian Livingston finds humor, grace, and sunburn on one of America’s great hikes. Gabe Jenkins spent his career driving in circles. For thirty years, his life revolved around his mail route. Upon retirement, this accumulated inertia steers Gabe onto the Great Eastern Trail, the meandering pathway running south to north through the sprawling Amicola Mountains. As he walks, he encounters the Trail’s eccentric inhabitants, who will help him, challenge him, and ultimately shape his journey. As a new Gabe ambles toward the Great Eastern Trail’s northern terminus, he is forced to reckon with how he has lived his life and to determine what kind of person he wants to be—as a husband, as a father, as a human being—and how he wants to spend his remaining years.

INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEYS PRESENTS!
Michelle Slater shares her story of overcoming Lyme Disease
Hello:
I’m proud to announce the following guest for your listening pleasure.
Please be sure to read onward after the following message to learn how you can be my guest here on INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEYS.
Thanks for listening and do write to let me and my guest know what you thought of this presentation.
Her long battle with and recovery from late-stage neurological Lyme disease served as the genesis for this book. Debilitated by the disease to the extent that she was no longer able to teach at her university or perform simple tasks like driving and reading, Slater spent several years pursuing every known treatment, from aggressive allopathic methods to holistic remedies. When all failed to deliver recovery, she discovered Dr. Sergey Filonov’s dry fasting program and spent two months in Siberia under his care. She recovered completely from Lyme disease, regaining her memory and returning to researching, writing, hiking, and running. Since 2017, she has not experienced a single symptom.
Michelle’s memoir is entitled Starving to Heal in Siberia: My Radical Recovery from Late-Stage Lyme Disease and How It Could Help Others
Description:
In Starving to Heal in Siberia, Dr. Michelle Slater takes us on her journey from her bed, where she was sidelined much of the time, to Siberia, where she was cured of the debilitating effects of advanced Lyme disease. After a years-long struggle with extreme chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and other mysterious symptoms that ultimately prevented her from teaching and doing simple tasks like reading and driving, Michelle began considering assisted suicide. She had tried every known treatment, from aggressive allopathic methods to holistic remedies, without success. In a last-ditch effort to save her life, she found a radical alternative treatment offered by the world’s leading expert on dry fasting and traveled to Siberia to give it a chance.
Starving to Heal in Siberia is both a moving and insightful memoir of recovery from devastating chronic illness and a practical guide to the science and psychology behind safely dry fasting. If you are curious about intermittent fasting and the research on dry fasting, this book offers compelling and useful information. If you are a doctor who has had to tell your patients to adjust to the chronic symptoms of an autoimmune disorder that didn’t dissipate under your best care, this book offers new hope. And if you struggle with chronic illness or love someone who does, this book is an antidote to despair. Michelle’s thoughtful account of her wellness journey provides similarly afflicted readers with the tools and encouragement to begin their own.

No, she wasn’t a slow student, she just ended up getting married, raising a family, and building a successful career in charitable fundraising. She has been writing for a living for years, but was always writing for someone else. Her grant proposals, direct marketing letters, and especially her thank you letters, are legend. Her persuasive writing skills raised millions of dollars. Those Canadians loved her tales about her southern life so much, she decided to write them down and they became Remember Whose Little Girl You Are.
Recently, she moved back down south where she lives on Santa Rosa Sound near Pensacola. And yes, she is now writing about all her Canadian adventures.

When Lisa Knopp visited Nebraska’s death row with other death penalty abolitionists in 1995, she couldn’t have imagined that one of the inmates she met that day would become a dear friend. For the next 23 years, through visits, phone calls, and letters, a remarkable, platonic friendship flourished between Knopp, an English professor, and Carey Dean Moore, who’d murdered two Omaha cab drivers in 1979 and was executed for by lethal injection in 2018.
In her open and insightful new book, From Your Friend, Carey Dean: Letters from Nebraska’s Death Row(Cascade Books, June 2022, $21.00 paperback, $9.99 eBook) Knopp tells two other stories as well. One is that of a broken correctional system (Nebraska’s prisons are overcrowded, understaffed, and underfunded, and excessive in their use of solitary confinement), and what it’s like to be incarcerated there, which Moore frequently spoke and wrote about. The other is the story of how a double murderer was transformed and nourished by his faith in God’s promises. Though Moore and Knopp were different types of Christians (he, a Biblical literalist and evangelical; she, a Biblical contextualist with progressive leanings), they shared an enduring faith in God’s grace and mercy.

Hello everyone in the Blogosphere, in this week’s bonus episode of Inspirational Journeys: Stories that Matter, I share the biggest email marketing takeaways I’ve gotten so far from the Kingdom Writer’s Conference Courageous Writers Edition. You’ll want to take some notes, because I share the knowledge I learned about creating an email list, creating a lead magnet to grow your audience, and collaborating with authors to cross promote each other’s work via newsletter swaps and freebie bundles. However, the first thing I want you to do, before you build your email list, is seek first the kingdom of God, and let Him guide you down the path he has already chosen for you. My guiding Bible verse for this episode is Ephesians 2:10 and my book recommendation is Newsletter Ninja: How to become an Author Mailing List Expert written by Tammi Labrecque. Come hang out with me as I unpack these important takeaways in today’s podcast episode and YouTube video.

Felicia Heath is a triple-board-certified critical care anesthesiologist, blogger, and debut author. She spent a month alone in a studio in the heart of Philadelphia to write the original manuscript of Spirit of a Hummingbird: Memories from a Childhood on the Run, just seventy-two hours after delivering her third child. This left her husband with their two-year-old, one-year-old, and newborn as she drank pinot noir and wrote for days on end. All of it was his idea, which is exactly why she tattooed his name across her shoulder and eloped with him on a South African safari six years ago. Felicia now lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and four children. She practices medicine as she anticipates a shift in the universe with the release of her memoir.
Felicia’s featured book is entitled:
Spirit of a Hummingbird: Memories from a Childhood on the Run
Description:
In Spirit of a Hummingbird, Felicia Thai Heath, the daughter of Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants who met in the United States, gives us a disquieting, eventful memoir based on her early childhood on the run with her father—a notorious Vietnamese kingpin and escaped convict—and her conflicted mother. Clever and mature beyond her age, young Felicia experienced poverty and witnessed abuse as her dysfunctional family bounced around in the United States and Canada. Amid all the tumult and terror, she found ways to love her family, educate herself, navigate her world, and discover her potential. Now she must decide how to live with the past—and whether her future can include her father.

It was pretty early in the morning when Ben picked me up. It was also our first-time meeting and I was going with him while he was filming a wedding. I guess it was out of some kind of curiosity to see what it was like to film a wedding, so I was the one who suggested it in the first place. Although looking back now, it was a pretty dumb decision to do that for our first date.
It might have been October, but I remember it being an unusually hot day for that month. I’m pretty sure it either got up to or felt like 100 degrees, no exaggerations at all. Everyone was sweating and I felt so bad for the bride in her heavy dress, dealing with that. It was mainly outdoors too.
At one point Ben was getting flustered because his cameras were overheating. It was kind of cute watching him get worked up and sweating through his shirt. He was trying to play it somewhat cool with me but I could tell he was mad.
Something told me from the very start of that day that this wasn’t really going to work out and turn into anything long term. So, I started taking stock of all the guests to see if maybe I could flirt with one of them. No one caught my eye, though, so I just hung out, pretending to be Ben’s “assistant” for the day. Not that anyone ever questioned it, but I still had to be prepared for people occasionally coming up to me and asking questions about the cameras or that kind of stuff.
I was a research assistant, I didn’t know the first thing, but I could pretend like I did. It was fun getting the chance to pretend for the day, especially since I wasn’t having any good chemistry with Ben that day. He didn’t even try to hold my hand or give me a kiss at any point.
When they served dinner at the restaurant they booked, I left for a little bit to another small diner across the street. That feeling persisted of not taking any stock in Ben and so I started chatting with my server, who was a decent enough looking guy. I told him about my day and we exchanged numbers. A week later we would go on a much better date than the one I had with Ben.

In each story, we see that each character faces their own unique challenges from a very different perspective.
The topics covered will range from dealing with bullying, understanding learning disabilities, bouncing back from failure, battling anxiety and depression, standing up to discrimination, learning about cyber predators, and coping with the loss of a loved one.
