This week I had a surreal photoshoot with Ken Sawyer a theater director and photographer. We had fun and we’re both into surrealism and unique photos and art. We shot for hours. I’ll post more as I go along. This picture is for a poem I wrote Ray of Light which will be in my upcoming book entitled Inspire Me: In Time of Need.

The Soul of You with Andrew Seaton
Our guest this week Monday, Sept 20th is Andrew Seaton author of Spiritual Awakening Made Simple. We discuss the Soul of You – spiritual awakening and how it’s simple, we address grief, and other emotions affecting our perceptions. Check out this informative interview.
Andrew Seaton is a spiritual author, teacher, counselor, and mentor for spiritual awakening. For more than four decades, he delved deeply into educational philosophy and psychology; old wisdom and new science; reports of higher consciousness; and a wide range of personal development, holistic wellness, and spiritual awareness practices.
As Andrew experienced all the personal ups and downs of his life, his working life was quite varied, but mostly in education. He had many different roles in that field, most of them relating to education of the whole person. His Ph.D. thesis was titled “Investing in Intelligence: An Inquiry into Educational Paradigm Change.” Andrew came to see that in our world we are generally making some deeply flawed assumptions about knowledge, human nature, and quality of life. In 2006, he resigned from a two-year stint as an education academic in order to focus on unlearning his education and other conditioning, and on awakening, the fuller functioning that he had come to see so clearly is possible and desirable.
