When life deals you an unexpected blow, do you crumble or transform? For Briana Rice, a devastating collision with a semi-truck in 2021 didn't end her story, it began a powerful new chapter. Briana takes us through her remarkable journey from scientist and world traveler to traumatic brain injury survivor and advocate. With raw honesty, she shares how she initially thought her life was over after suffering brain and spinal injuries, only to discover that these challenges would become the catalyst for her greatest transformation. Through intensive rehabilitation, Brianna not only regained her strength but also found her voice as an advocate for brain injury awareness.Her path to healing led her to compete in and win the Woman of Achievement pageant with her platform "Grace for Your Journey", a message that resonates deeply with anyone facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. As Brianna explains, "Sometimes you have to crumble to put the pieces back together, to build something new and more beautiful." This philosophy anchors her work as an author in the anthology "Women We Are Stronger Together" and as the director of the Riverside Chapter for the Global Society of Female Entrepreneurs, where she creates spaces for women to support rather than compete with one another.Perhaps most touching is Brianna's dedication to honoring her friend Justin Bowman, a fellow brain injury survivor who passed away in 2024. Through her Blackberry Merlot wine festival and charitable foundation, she continues to raise funds for those who need treatment but cannot afford it. Brianna's story reminds us that our darkest moments often contain the seeds of our greatest purpose, and that with grace, resilience, and community support, we can not only survive our traumas but use them to create meaningful change in the world.Ready to find grace in your own journey?

Taydem Shoesmith is a new artist who fell in love with music from a young age. Her father would sing to her every night and from that sparked an interest in Taydem. She found comfort in writing music during her freshman year of high school. At first she was afraid to show others her music, not wanting to be judged about her thoughts and feelings. But as time went on, she realized that others felt the way she did and knew she should keep sharing her creations. Her music ranges from singer-songwriter to pop to alternative. Recently, she released a new single "Are You Clapping?”, a song about accepting yourself and not letting people change who you are or want to be.  Her biggest influences are Michael Jackson, Rascal Flatts, Billie Holiday, Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, among others. Alongside her passion for music, she also has a great interest in acting. Her acting debut was in 2020, when she was casted for a role in the short film "In the Dark." She has been cast as the lead in  multiple films, and has created music for films as well; one of those being a theme song for a short series.The way she feels about music can be summed up in this quote; "Music is my inhaler when life makes it difficult to breathe."  We look forward to seeing you succeed! - www.KeepOnSharing.com - Code - KOS

Welcome back Author Larry Jorgensen as he shares his new book, Shipwrecked and Rescued!LARRY JORGENSEN first became fascinated with Michigan's Upper Peninsula and its unique history while writing and reporting for television news in Green Bay. However his journey into that world of news had begun much earlier in northern Wisconsin where he worked while in high school for the weekly newspaper in Eagle River. Later he was employed by a newspaper publisher in Milwaukee, and then on to radio and television news in Texas and Louisiana, along with wire service and freelance assignments. During all those years he looked forward to return visits to the Keweenaw Peninsula. It was during one of those visits Larry discovered the tale of the wreck of the “City of Bangor”. It was learning of that little known event which resulted in his decision to create this written account which he hope would share the story of one of Lake Superior's most unusual shipwrecks.The Story of a Lake Superior shipwreck and two unbelievable but true successful rescues!
