An excited apprentice attempts to make a planet for the first time, having watched the making of hundreds. But watching is not the same as doing. Genre: Science Fiction, Science Fantasy   Excerpt: Nebulous gases shimmered as they swirled past me. Particles crashed and fused. Vapors thickened into plasma and then into liquid. Specks became pebbles. Pebbles became rock. Rock collided with rock… The layers of the sphere began to close into one sphere, imbued with a strong enough measure of gravity to draw a fine cloak of dust around itself as it spun into place.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. The story that inspired this one, from way back in Season One, is called “Heliotrope,” about a device built by hopeful human hands. Fun fact: The character Proto is named for the term “protostar.” The character Ring is named so because I have an affinity for ringed planets. (Aside from Earth, my favorite planet is Saturn.)   MY FIRST BOOK (yay)Ever wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written?  I have a method. And I talk all about it in my book called Fictioneer's Field Guide: A Game Plan for Writing Short Stories. It's now available as an eBook, paperback, and hardcover.  The book title takes you straight to the book on Amazon.

Hello Beloved. "It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe."— Muhammad Ali (shared from Sahil Bloom)This quote has a way of sinking deep, doesn't it? It invites us to pause and ask:Am I blocked by the mountain in my path or the pebble in my shoe?The mountain is the big, obvious obstacle:* The business you haven't started.* The retreat you haven't taken.* The health goal you haven't reached.* The relationship you haven't nurtured.* The freedom you haven't claimed.It's easy to point at the mountain and say, “That's why I'm stuck.” It's towering, intimidating, and feels like a valid excuse.But what if the mountain is just a distraction? A way to avoid the real culprit: the pebble in your shoe.The pebble is the small, sneaky thing that quietly derails you:* The self-doubt you've normalized.* The habit you keep meaning to break.* The story you tell yourself about who you're “allowed” to be.* The energy-draining relationships you haven't released.Pebbles don't seem like much. They're easy to ignore—until they're not.In aviation, the 1-in-60 rule says that a 1-degree error in heading will throw a plane off course by 1 mile for every 60 miles flown. Tiny misalignments, left unchecked, amplify over time.A pebble in your shoe might not stop you today, but walk 10 miles, 100 miles, a lifetime with it, and suddenly that small friction becomes a gaping wound.Friction in your days derails your progress in your years.So, what's your pebble?* What story no longer serves you?* What mindset or habit is quietly holding you back?* What's draining your energy instead of fueling your fire?This isn't about ignoring the mountain. It's about realizing you can't climb it with a pebble grinding you down.Here's where the magic happens:That pebble? It's not just a problem—it's a clue. A whisper from your soul, pointing you toward what's ready to shift. The whispers are found in the energetic body. And to hear it, we are more coherent to hearing when we embody our signature frequency - body, mind, heart and soul. It's why I created a personalized clarity journey back to YOU and your story. The Intuitive One-of-a-Kind Blueprint is designed to help you uncover, understand, and remove that pebble, so you can walk your path with clarity.Somewhere along the way, you might've started doubting your inner voice. Got tangled in overthinking, burnout, or the endless search for answers outside yourself. But deep down, you're not broken—you're just out of sync with your sacred wiring.The Intuitive Blueprint is your 12-page custom energetic map, paired with an audio journey and Akashic activation, to help you realign with you.Here's a peak at what's included.The first thing to know is that the Blueprint isn't just another report. It's a fully supported experience to take you from understanding your design to truly embodying what it means to be YOU.It begins with the “overall roadmap to your next 12 months” which is a written guide that explains your type & strategy, authority, profile, and the astrology transits, NOW.​Here is a sample of the top 1/3rd of your report for you to get a feel for everything included.

Finally, we close it out with a Akashic Records Self Hypnosis Meditation to help “cut cords” to what no longer serves you. So net net. The day of conditioning is over.

The Intuitive One-of-a-Kind Blueprint Let's get you back in your body.Back in your rhythm.Back in your Knowing.

Summer Bacon is a spiritual teacher, and has been a Trance Medium for the beautiful spirit, Dr. James Martin Peebles since 1994. She first met Dr. Peebles in 1989, through Trance Medium, Thomas Jacobson [To Dance with Angels, by Don & Linda Pendleton]. When Thomas quit channeling, she decided that she did not want to lose her connection with Dr. Peebles, and proceeded to set out to "find" him with her heart.Summer has been a spiritual seeker all of her life. At the age of 11 months she realized that she was here on earth to find out "what this truth thing is about once and for all." For most of her early life, Summer spent much of her time trying to avoid or deny the spiritual occurrences that bombarded her on a daily basis. Visitations from spirits and angels, memories from other lifetimes, powerful psychic experiences (including prophetic dreams), visits from extraterrestrials, and out of body experiences were part of her days and nights while she attempted to live like a "normal" child and teenager.She obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from UCLA in 1984, and immediately went to work for ABC-TV during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Later she was hired to work for Goodson-Todman Productions as a Prize Coordinator for the game show Super Password. She also spent two years managing her family's state-of-the-art 24-track recording studio, Skyline Recording, in the early 1980s. In 1984 she was hired by a staff leasing company where she worked as Director of Employee Benefits, and eventually as Director of Employee Communications. In 1989, she bought the Communications Division and began working independently as a graphic designer, typesetter, writer and marketer.As a graphic designer, developing corporate images and writing ad copy couldn't have been easier. Making use of her natural psychic skills, she would consult one-on-one with Spirit about what her clients' needs were and through this guidance was often able to design the perfect corporate image before she even met with them.Still, there was a burning desire to reconnect with Dr. Peebles again, and so she sat night after night relentlessly seeking him with her heart for nearly seven years, until December 4, 1994 when she at last went into a deep trance, and he spoke through her. For the next three years she channeled hundreds of spirits, including dearly departed loved ones, for anyone who needed help. She did all of the channelings for free, while still running her graphic design business and raising her two daughters.During this time, Summer was also in a very abusive marriage, and eventually made the difficult decision to escape. She began to raise her two children alone, with very little financial support. She was living on the edge of poverty when two of her dear friends encouraged her to go public with her channeling. She nervously did her first Open Session as a Trance Medium for Dr. Peebles in 1996. From there, word of mouth kept her busy with Open Sessions and Private Sessions, and she was able to buy a house in 2004During the fiscal collapse of 2008 she ended up filing bankruptcy and surrendering her home. She knows what it means to lose everything, start over, and keep moving forward, and then lose everything, start over, and keep moving forward again.Although it was difficult, she knows that she would not be the spiritual teacher that she is today, with the ability to relate to people and their challenges. Her deep and abiding love and for, and relationship with, God and Spirit kept her going during the darkest times of her life. As she says, "God's love is real and constant," and was, and still is, her strength in life.Summer's mission is not to prove the existence of God and Spirit to anyone, but rather to help demystify mysticism in order to empower people to create their own relationship with God and Spirit. Aside from channeling Dr. Peebles, her greatest passion has been about sharing of her experiences through group seminars and coaching session. For nearly 30 years, she has helped and guided thousands of individuals to develop a deeper personal connection with God and Spirit, and understand and conquer the fears and misconceptions that often accompany this desire for spiritual growth.Please enjoy my conversation with Summer Bacon.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

If there was a Super Bowl for convenient nutrition brands…Premier Protein would be considered the Kansas City Chiefs of the functional CPG category. BellRing Brands (NYSE: BRBR) is a portfolio that owns a collection of convenient nutrition brands like Premier Protein and Dymatize Nutrition, which was previously wholly-owned by Post Holdings. A fast-paced and busy lifestyle is pushing consumers to switch to quick and healthy meal options. This has resulted in above average categorical growth rates and increased household penetration of RTD protein shakes that promote active lifestyles. Additionally, powders are becoming more mainstream, and category proliferation has created an environment where more consumers are purchasing both every day and performance nutrition positioned protein products at grocery stores and mass retailers. Bellring Brands had a strong 2025 Q1 with net sales reaching $532.9 million, which was up 23.8% YoY. Premier Protein (~90% of BellRing Brands total revenue) grew 26.3% YoY, which came from mostly volume increases. Dymatize Nutrition was up 12.6% YoY, stemming from volume increases within international markets. In response to these elevated sports nutrition competitive threats, BellRing Brands has attempted to invest further into Dymatize brand marketing (i.e. utilization with NFL star running back Christian McCaffrey) and restarting product innovation (i.e. pre-workout energy powder and RTD protein beverages leveraging Pebbles cereal). Moreover, I provide three deep dives into the functional CPG portfolio's "hero SKU families" of Premier Protein RTD protein shakes and Premier Protein and Dymatize protein powders. But my latest first principles thinking content will explain my usage of that specific NFL analogy in the introductory statement. And while the most obvious connection would be that BellRing Brands corporate headquarters is located within St. Louis, Missouri (and the Rams relocating almost a decade ago it makes the Kansas City Chiefs the “local team"), a more hidden connection would be that both brands have dominated their respective “sports” of late…and much like the Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to win their third Super Bowl in a row, BellRing Brands (because of primarily Premier Protein) is hoping to reach its own version of a three-peat. And if analyzing the trailing twelve months BellRing Brands net sales activity, the brand portfolio has now successfully reached the $2 billion milestone (and is well on its way to reaching $3 billion in net sales). So, why do I believe the Premier Protein “three-peat” is almost guaranteed at this point?
