Guest Biography:

In another time and on a distant sea, Michael Penrose would have been a stowaway aboard a battered ship. Ignoring monstrous waves looming over the topsail, his stride to the bow would be resolute. The deckhands’ frantic screams would fade to a whisper upon hearing Michael’s voice.

Sailing forward through time, echoes from the past fill warm clubs where Michael performs. His thought-provoking and passionate pieces like A Faraway Place and Blanket of Blue are enhanced with rhythmic grooves. With the soulful Near the Sun, we are reminded that our ship remains battered but a powerful voice beckons us into calm waters.

Wendy hosts the weekly Live to 110 Video Podcast and the Modern Paleo Cooking show on her Live to 110 Youtube Channel.

Wendy’s interest in nutrition began with the death of her father from esophageal cancer. Intuitively, she knew his chemo, radiation, and ten medications killed him prematurely. She vowed to find out what made him sick, why he died, what role medications played in his demise, and how she could avoid the same fate. The more Wendy learned, the more she realized that all the answers to health do not lie in our medical system. Food, detoxification and natural healing modalities must be used to compliment the advances in modern medicine.

Wendy’s site Liveto110.com aims to inform you about how to achieve optimum health, energy and vitality. Liveto110.com empowers you to improve your health through the Paleo diet, Mineral Power, detoxification and natural treatments for your health conditions. She urges you to take responsibility for your own health by learning about alternative treatments for your health conditions. Most doctors are only trained to offer medications or surgery, which are not an appropriate first line of treatment for many health conditions. Health is not merely about the absence of disease or symptoms.

Guest Biography:

Dr. Lorraine Hurley

is the host of Uncommon Awareness.

The shows mission, or objective, is to raise awareness of issues not commonly, or truthfully, reported in the mainstream media or disseminated through the other social institutions that define our day-to-day life. The shows name reflects the following belief; that true awareness is uncommon and that a change or expansion of awareness changes everything. It changes our outlook, our lives, our view on reality and our ability to respond to and engage whatever experience we find ourselves in the midst of. A change of awareness changes everything!

We are in the midst of extraordinary times. What we have been educated indoctrinated or manipulated into believing about the world we live in is being challenged and exposed as a lie of cosmic proportion. This difficult and startling realization is paradoxically a gift. Once we appreciate that we are living in a matrix built on deception, fraud and an insane desire for control we can begin to ask important and relevant questions, we can begin to participate in life mindfully and in empowered ways such that the matrix of insanity is dismantled. In order to exercise our power we must first be aware of how it has been usurped and how we may responsibly and creatively take it under expanded conscious control.

Uncommon Awareness strives to bring guests to the program from extraordinarily diverse backgrounds, interests and accomplishments. There is a huge emphasis on health as it is pretty hard to be aware, awake, conscious and empowered when you don’t feel very well. But we expand the definition of health and we expand the sphere of what is called relevant and reliable information. Health is not just about physical integrity. In addition to nutrition, functional and alternative health practices our show promotes:

  • Awareness of the role of consciousness in the creation of reality
  • Emotional, mental and spiritual awareness, or rather an expanded view of our make-up and abilities
  • The elucidations of quantum physics (gosh I love this stuff !)
  • Ancient wisdom teachings and technologies (love this too!)
  • The extraordinary accomplishments in our world that are never permitted adoption by society and an opportunity to morph our world for the better.
  • The extraordinary abilities that we, as human beings, possess and have yet to develop
  • Ancient healing tools and wisdom being re-discovered and mastered
  • New innovations as keys to acknowledging, challenging and changing paradigms and enabling both personal and collective transformation
  • Dignity and recognition for the accomplishments, potential and vision inherent in the lives and experiences of us all.

Our take on reality is often disturbing at Uncommon Awareness but our goal is not to be another fear-mongering, hand wringing, purveyor of bad news. Our goal is to bring you into an awareness of how you can re-write the script, re-work the experiences of your lives and harvest meaning, purpose and joy out of your daily life.

We wouldn’t be anything without you—the listener. We wouldn’t grow as well as we could without your participation. So please, participate, make your voice and experience known to us. Thank you for your interest in what we are doing!

People who perform the 32 Quick Self Fixes regularly, join “Our Strong Club”. Members of “Our Strong Club” test strong when all of the Targeted Muscle Tests are evaluated. This is truly a unique and cutting edge healing system.

ABOUT RICHARD STOCKER and THE COLORING WELL
 
Richard Stocker has been an artist since childhood, and a Somatic Body Worker (Rolfer) for more than 30 years with additional training in Ayurvedic Medicine and a wealth of experience living among Native Americans. He has travelled the world sharing his art as a healing tool, introducing thousands of people to his unique black and white designs and the life-affirming benefits of coloring them. Along the way, this work evolved from its roots as an organization called Hospital Art for Kids (providing cancer families with coloring art to get their minds off their worries and to encourage togetherness) into a company called Richard’s Rainbow bringing Richard’s coloring medicine into prisons, elder-care centers, orphanages, disaster relief areas, and many schools, clinics, and camps. 
 
Now, a new evolution is under way. Together with his partner, Cathy Shap, a writer and mindfulness teacher, Richard has created The Coloring Well to serve another group in need: the consummate and disconnected multitasker. Stress, anxiety, worry, and depression have become epidemic in our homes. Richard and Cathy love to show people that through the creative and meditative practice of coloring Richard’s designs they can tap into the sensitivity that will allow them to handle what needs to be handled in their lives with more grace. And they’ll make something beautiful to view in the process. The world and the future depend on healthy, mindful adults, and The Coloring Well offers beautifully designed creative products to support this. 
 
The Coloring Well Website will be launching soon. If you’d like to receive a FREE design to color and notification of The Coloring Well grand opening.

At 15 she became pregnant and was sent to St. Margaret’s Home for Unwed girls, in Sydney.  When she refused to give up her child for adoption she was subjected to relentless intimidation that was tantamount to torture.

Ten Hail Mary’s is a remarkable story of courage and determination survival and hope. Although at times shocking in her frankness, Howarth is never self pitying of bitter.

ABOUT The Van Meter Visitor Book A True & Mysterious Encounter with the Unknown...

It was typical small-town America when someone first saw something that didn't belong.  The sightings quickly escaladed from unusual lights acting in unexplained fashion to that of huge 8' tall creatures with giant bat-like wings.  As the sightings of The Van Meter Visitor continued the creature grew bolder and closer to witnesses revealing more mysteries with a large single horn upon its head, able to emanate blinding light and a strange smell that disoriented witnesses.  All the more terrifying were the visits from the dark as the monster remained impervious to bullets.

The identity of this mysterious visitor was never discovered. Over 100 years later, three internationally renowned researchers set out to Van Meter; shining their own light on this amazingly bizarre case. Filled with eyewitness reports, historic photos, and current accounts of the paranormal, this in-depth book looks to discover what really happened in the town of Van Meter.

ABOUT How America Was Lost: From 9/11 to the Police/Warfare State by Paul Craig Roberts

Even as the view of America as a rogue state consolidates abroad,Americans appear largely bystanders at the spectacle of their government running amok. People forget the myriad instances of their government's flouting of the Constitution and international legal norms-- if ever they were aware of them in the first place--accepting to live in the increasingly pernicious "new normal" with little protest. This remarkable anthology of columns documents and reminds us of the extraordinary developments that, in their accumulation, have led to the destruction of accountable and moral government in the US.

Few American commentators have cut more clearly through the deepening deceit, hypocrisy and outright criminality that has infested official Washington since 9/11 than Paul Craig Roberts. His scathing critique sheds much-needed light on the country’s impending nightmare—economic collapse, internal repression, ongoing wars, and rising rejection by friends and foes alike. America’s fate was sealed when the public and the anti-war movement bought the government’s 9/11 conspiracy theory. This defining event of our time, which has launched the US on interminable wars of aggression and a domestic police state, is a taboo topic for investigation in the media.

Trillion dollar wars have created financing problems for Washington’s deficits,threatening the dollar’s role as world reserve currency, and putting Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block. These protections are called “entitlements” as if they are some sort of welfare that people have not paid for in payroll taxes all their working lives. With over 21 per cent unemployment, with American jobs, GDP, and technology having been given to China and India, with war being Washington’s greatest commitment, with the dollar over-burdened with debt, with civil liberty sacrificed to the bogus war on terror, the liberty and prosperity of the American people have been thrown into the trash bin of history.

The militarism of the U.S. and Israeli states, and Wall Street and corporate greed, will now run their course. “How America Was Lost" marks Roberts as one of the most incisive and courageous moral commentators in America today.

Guest Biography:

A born and raised California sea lady, singer/songwriter Kaylinn Douthett began to record her melodies in her modest homemade studio on the Central Coast of California. Drawing influences from all that is around her, her style is somewhat stripped down, simple and refreshing in this day and age. She focuses less on polishing imperfections, and more on embracing the pure emotion and delicate feelings that emerge in new ways each time she sings a song. She calls herself The Carpenter’s Wife, and is accompanied by many other musician friends that contribute their individuality to create a unique blend of folk music. Layering sound, losing control, aiming to capture serendipity, and celebrating that moment when they feel like they do indeed capture it. Serendipity that is. Everything in its right place. Eventually.

Timeless, fluid, and fun nonetheless– that is The Carpenter’s Wife.
