My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is B Marcus Walker, author of the book Spirit of the Plain. Originally from Chicago's south side, Brian Walker has worked twenty years in numerous industries as a web and eLearning developer, facilitator, and project manager. His true passion has been as a writer of fiction, both genre and literary. You can find his writing on Medium in publications including Thought Thinkers, ILLUMINATION, and Morning Musings, as well as short fiction in the Minetta Review. His first novel, Spirit of the Plain, is available in print and eBook. In my book review, I stated Spirit of the Plan by B Marcus Walker is Book 1 of a fantasy series. If you are a fantasy lover, this one has all the essential elements - mages, witchcraft, wolfmen, worlds and cultures colliding, love, and intrigue! Even as someone who usually doesn't read fantasy, I enjoyed the book and read far later into the night than I should have. Several characters stood out to me, including Collier Truitt - a man forced to flee his country at the threat of death to a tribe that was once his father's. He struggles with seeking retribution or peace. There is also Ashlyn, an acolyte mage, who is tasked to rid the Plains of its controlling spirit. She is young but more powerful than she understands. And finally, I loved Arnak, a wolfman known as a Lyken. His grumpy style made me laugh, but his insights were often spot-on. The author did a good job pulling me into the story, even as a non-fantasy reader. Definitely a novel to consider for your TBR!

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe blurry lines between symbolic gestures and substantive policy have once again captured the nation's attention with Trump's flag burning executive order. Despite the dramatic headlines, the order doesn't actually criminalize flag burning or impose jail sentences - it simply reinforces existing laws about property damage and riots. This raises fascinating questions about why leaders issue such proclamations when they don't substantially change the legal landscape.Media polarization takes center stage as Vanity Fair's potential Melania Trump cover story reportedly has staff threatening resignations. The magazine's apparent pivot toward more centrist coverage highlights the deepening divisions within cultural institutions. These tensions reflect broader questions about viewpoint diversity in media and whether publications can successfully navigate political differences while maintaining editorial integrity.Perhaps most provocative is the ongoing debate about political speech and defamation. When CNN commentator Tiffany Cross described Stephen Miller as a "white supremacist" not as opinion but as "fact," she inadvertently opened a fascinating discussion about the boundaries of protected speech. Where exactly is the line between harsh political criticism and potentially actionable defamation? This intersection of law, ethics, and political discourse deserves our careful attention as we navigate increasingly heated rhetoric.The episode concludes with a thoughtful reflection on facing fears - from the political courage needed to express unpopular views to the personal bravery required for physical challenges like completing a grueling mud run at age 50. What's the scariest thing you've ever done? Whether political, professional, or deeply personal, our moments of courage often define us more than our comfortable routines.

Focus: relaxation and grounding. Find a moment to reconnect in less than 10 minutes. Just lie back and listen. The words and music will carry you the rest of the way and have you ready to face your world again. This song was written for a highly creative soul who is the visual artist who designed my Guided Harmonies logo. He listens to meditative music in the early morning so it was fun to be inspired to create this tune.
TALK TO ME, TEXT ITWhat aren't they telling us? That's the question at the heart of this week's episode as we dive into President Biden's troubling cancer diagnosis. The news of his aggressive Stage 4 cancer leaves us wondering: how long has the administration known? While extending compassion to anyone facing such a diagnosis, we can't help but question the timing and transparency surrounding this revelation.The conversation shifts to education policy in New York City, where a controversial mandate for smaller class sizes is potentially forcing schools to lower their hiring standards. Is this creating a dangerous situation for students? We examine the reasoning behind this decision and its potential consequences, challenging the notion that lower standards automatically lead to hiring "pervy teachers" as some headlines suggest.Science meets fast food as we explore the viral McDonald's migraine hack that's taking social media by storm. A medical professional breaks down why a large Coke and fries might actually work to relieve headache pain – caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor, sodium creates an osmotic shift, and sugar provides analgesic effects. But does it have to be McDonald's specifically? And why do so many people swear by different remedies for hangovers?Perhaps most concerning are reports of UFOs striking military aircraft in Arizona. When an unidentified object damaged the canopy of a $63 million F-16 fighter jet in January 2023, it raised serious questions about national security. With the FAA documenting 757 such reports in a single year, and evidence suggesting drug cartels may be using drone technology to transport narcotics, we're left wondering what's really happening in our skies.What's your take on these stories? And what's your go-to hangover remedy? Join the conversation and share your thoughts with us. Don't forget to subscribe for more thought-provoking analysis of the stories that matter.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHave you ever considered what makes a brand truly memorable? Today we're diving into the fascinating world of rebranding – both personal and corporate – as I contemplate moving beyond "Carol Remarks" to create something with more universal appeal. Finding that perfect name is challenging when everything good seems already taken!Speaking of rebranding, the iconic Twitter bird is officially a collector's item. The massive sign from Twitter's San Francisco headquarters – weighing a whopping 560 pounds and measuring 12 by 9 feet – just sold at auction for $35,000. This piece of internet history represents Twitter's pre-Musk identity, now preserved as corporate memorabilia. It raises an intriguing question: what piece of American signage or memorabilia would you treasure if money were no object?Coffee lovers, brace yourselves – your morning brew is getting more expensive. Wholesale Arabica prices have doubled since last year, shattering previous records at $4.30 per pound. By next February, ground roast coffee could average $7.25 per pound. But for those of us who consider coffee a non-negotiable daily essential (especially when we "don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs"), we'll likely continue paying whatever it costs. We also touch on Rachel Zegler landing the lead in "Evita" despite "Snow White" criticism, and explore whether the mind-splitting technology from "Severance" could ever become reality (spoiler alert: neuroscientists say our memories don't work that way).Join the conversation! Share what corporate memorabilia you'd love to own, whether you'd pay premium prices for your favorite beverages, and your thoughts on work-life separation in today's always-connected world.

Hello and welcome to my recap of day four on Cumberland Island. It was another fun and informative day on the island, exploring, as well as getting a guided tour of some of the trees that make up the island. My wife and I are both excited to have our daughter and son-in-law joining us today for the remainder of our time camping. They are also bringing a couple friend of theirs with their tso 3-year-old twins. Should be interesting! I also discuss the latest development in the Big, Fani Willis Rico case in Fulton county, Georgia, where judge Scott McAfee just declared that a set of charges for six defendants need to be kicked out because they are too vague and too wide-reaching for them to be able to mount an adequate defense. I'm curious to know if he's going through the motions in order and choosing to now deal with the motion to disqualify or if this was just the easier of the motions to deal with first? We will have to wait and see how this story continues to unfold. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Happy Friday everyone! Today is day five recollection on Cumberland Island. I will still be here a couple more days, but I only drop my show weekdays so this will be it until Monday. I'll still try to upload pictures every morning. Today I spend time talking about my day on the island as well as technology and the nostalgic trip of being an Atari 2600 owner all the way through to holding one of the most powerful computers ever devised by man in the palm of my own hand. As I wrap up the show, I do discuss the judge in the Big Fani Willis evidentiary hearing making his decision today as to whether or not he will disqualify both her and Nathan Wade.

On today's show, I open with some of the adversity I had to deal with on the island. Sometimes life throws curveballs at you and you need to learn how to deal with it. This lead me to discuss an essay I wrote over 13 years ago on the problems of sparing children from adversity. After spending some time on a more philosophical level, I do get into two specific news items — the J6 Subcommittee‘s interim report and the testimony from Special Counsel Robert Hur. in closing, I remind you of what I believe is the purpose behind the Hur report. It's not about charging Joe Biden and taking him to court. It's about informing the electorate of why he does not deserve another four years.

Today's musing recount part of the journey to get to Cumberland Island and day one activities. But, I am also trying to stay on top of the news and I'm appalled that my prediction from Friday came true only two days later. I cannot believe that the Democrat party has decided to make Joe Biden apologize for accurately, calling someone who broke multiple laws an illegal.
Continuing to update you while on Cumberland Island, I have been able to stay on top of some of the news, including the revelations of the new J6 investigative committee. There is now hard evidence proving that representative Benny Thompson, and representative Liz Cheney hid exculpatory and exonerating evidence when they conducted their investigation. Also, I find it interesting that special council Robert her decided to quit the department of Justice and is already set to testify in front of the house oversight committee.

This week I was interviewed a guest on the podcast Victim to Victory at 5am my time....she is in Perth Australia....and we connected on so many levels. After we were done all I could think about was the journey that I have had with the foster care system. How broken it is and these are my thoughts. You may or may not agree with them, and that is perfect. I want to start the dialogue and see how we can make a change in our own way. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Morning Musings by Melinda with Melinda Vail For many, journaling is one of the most important parts of their daily routine. It gives them a chance to polish their inner mirror, reflect on lessons learned, and update their list of intentions with items that may need more work. In Morning Musings by Melinda, gifted intuitive and healer Melinda Vail shares some of her teachings as well as her own journal entries in a daybook embellished by original photographs by Robert Sharpe. Writes Melinda in the Foreword: "Some people have heart break that others cannot even imagine... have gone through things that you might think only happens in the movies... have had more challenges in one lifetime that amaze me that they are still standing... I have shared time with people like this that make their lives a tribute to grace and style under pressure, an example of faith and dignity, a testament to unwavering love of what's important. It is such an honor to me to be in the presence of these people." For more information visit: http://www.melindavail.com/
