Ronna Wineberg is the award-winning author of a new book, Artifacts and Other Stories, which was a finalist for the Eric Hoffer Book Award. These fourteen stories explore the joys and limitations of love, the coming together and breaking apart of relationships.  Desire, love, marriage, betrayal, divorce, illness, aging, loss, and fresh starts dominate the characters’ lives.

These vibrant, deeply human characters wrestle with profound changes in their closest relationships and in their own emotional inner worlds. Publisher’s Weekly praised Artifacts and Other Stories: “In these skillfully crafted short stories all accented with crisp wry dialogue,…Wineberg does not shy away from life’s messes…hums with energy and originality…” The US Review of Books also praised the book: “Wineberg is a wonderful storyteller…” More information is on Ronna Wineberg’s website: www.ronnawineberg.com

If you are a highly sensitive person, empath, or mystic Haumea offers understanding, insights, tools, and clearings to assist in boldly expressing and living your unique Divine Design. A cauldron of neurosciences, biomechanics, metaphysics, herbals, and understanding that everything is Energy allows Haumea to facilitate alchemical transformations. She lends her wisdom into the topics of fear, trauma, and healing. She's been on her own healing journey for the past 30 years.  Haumea’s message is to Be MORE of Your Magical, Unique, and Divine Self!   Most people who work with Haumea "just have a sense or feeling" to do so. With a mission to "Serve Conscious Evolution on Earth," Haumea is lighting a torch for a legion of soul-led sensitives and mystics who are liberating themselves and others from artificial limits placed upon Humanity.
