Robin Marvel with special guest Raelene Byrne

Robin Marvel intereviewed special guest Raelene Byrne on “Living Out Loud Radio”

My journey has been a blessed one and I believe totally guided. From early teenage years I was interested in astral travel, crystals, ancient Egyptian history etc so when the opportunity to explore these topics arose I decided to open the doors and walk through.Now that I look back, the whole thing about mind, body and spirit being healthy and in balance has been played out very clearly step by step. My first foray into alternate ways of living, well, I felt that it was a better way to live, it felt more realistic to me, was sourcing loads of information about food. Even back then, trust me it was a long time ago, I had the belief that good, vital foods feed not only our cells but our very soul.

Victor Volkman — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:44:52 +0000

Children’s author Theresa Fraser talks about her new book, Billy had to Move: A Foster Care Story with host Suzanne Lieurence.

Child Protection Services have been involved with Billy and his mother for some time now. He has been happily settled in a kinship placement with his grandmother and enjoys his pet cat, interacting with neighbors and even taking piano lessons. As the story unfolds, Billy’s grandmother has unexpectedly passed away and so the story of Billy Had To Move begins.Unfortunately, Billy’s mother cannot be located. Mr. Murphy, Billy’s social worker, places him in the foster home of Amy, Tim, and their baby “Colly.” Billy experiences great loss resulting not only from his grandmother’s death, but also the loss of the life he knew. Billy’s inner journey therefore has also begun and with the help of Ms. Woods, a Play Therapist, there is hope.Therapists’ Acclaim for Billy Had To Move

“This gem of a book gently frames the stages of a child’s natural quest to make sense of his story. Fraser has created more than a teaching story: she generously offers a sacred space that compassionately holds and supports the multidimensional realities of our foster children and their birth families, our social workers and foster families, our teachers and child psychotherapists.”
–Gisela Schubach De Domenico, PhD, MFT, R-PTS

“Billy Had To Move is a profound story about the complex issues children in foster care often face. Fraser provides important lessons for caregivers. The book gracefully introduces the sandtray and provides insight into how powerful the experience
can be when the child has an opportunity to explore their trauma in the sandtray.”
–Mark E. Hulbert, MA, LLP

“In this engaging, warm-hearted story, Billy grieving the loss of his grandmother, finds a way to heal by expressing his thoughts and feelings in Play Therapy. Highly recommended!”
–Charles E. Schaefer, PhD, RPT-S
Director Emeritus, The Association for Play Therapy

Ernest Dempsey - The Blue Fairy and Other Tales of Transcendence

sysop — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:45:36 +0000

We spoke with author Ernest Dempsey about his new collection of short stories The Blue Fairy and Other Tales of Transcendence. Ernest Dempsey has authored four books and, in just the last few years, seen the publication of his poems, essays, short stories, and literary reviews worldwide. He is now the editor-in-chief of the literary magazine Recovering the Self: A Journal of Hope and Healing (www.RecoveringSelf.com) and also works as the country editor for Pakistan on the celebrated Internet news channel Instablogs. Dempsey is now looking forward to completing his first novel.

Ernest Dempsey’s second collection of short stories The Blue Fairy takes a subject that has been dreaded for centuries - ‘Death’. It is one of the few works of fiction, which neither treats the subject as the ‘D word’ by bringing in fantasies of afterlife nor compromises the solemnity by trying to evaporate the reality of death in humor. Instead, Dempsey explores the many sides to the subject that make the final departure a meaningful reality of existence. Inspired mostly by real life experiences, Dempsey’s The Blue Fairy ingeniously integrates dying with living. It is a book for the soul.
