From Amy:Cara Pacific Campbell was the first person who took me up on my offer of a 1:1 Book Writing Mentorship and put her trust in me. I was grateful that someone so vibrant felt drawn to working with me, but looking back, it makes perfect sense. When we are paying attention, we're drawn to our people. Cara and I are both high-performing women who worked way too hard and paid a steep price with our health. As in, our bodies made us quit our careers when our minds thought that we could—had to—power through. Instead, we were sidelined.And why did we think we had to power through? Well... how else would we have any meaningful impact in life? How else did we have value? Which is a societal misperception that has needed addressing for a very long time. What we've been through, many are going through now.Also... we are both people who communicate who we are through our colors of choice. I think of Cara in vibrant yellows and reds.These lively signature colors are very much at odds with what Cara was living with in her battle with chronic Lyme disease.There's a huge silver lining. Cara finally connected to her dreams of work in Peru, tapping into ancient knowledge that now infuses this book. And hey, I taught beginning Spanish for a few years. I've always thought that teaching Spanish was a way station on the journey to something beyond that. This book was one of those meaningful stops on the journey. Oh, and also...Pretty sure that Cara and I are going to host a Writing Revival in Peru someday.Picture yourself there with us. How awesome would that be?Meanwhile, you can actively witness the culmination of her book journey if that's calling to you, or simply take courage from hearing how it came into being. Me? I got to help Cara infuse this book with her witty, deep, infectious wisdom. I feel profoundly proud and grateful to know that I was there at Cara's beginning as an author, and that she was there at my beginning as a book writing mentor. What a beautiful testament to my vision for Courageous Wordsmith.It's a full-circle episode and it feels like that.Enjoy! Cara Pacific Campbell is a top-performing sales leader turned author, coach, and resilience expert. After a medical collapse ended her high-achieving career, she began an unexpected healing journey—one that blends neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and the gritty reality of burnout recovery. Her upcoming book is part memoir, part roadmap for ambitious women ready to succeed without self-destructing. Cara helps high performers reconnect with their power, rewrite their patterns, and rise—on their own terms.Cara's Links:www.linkedin.com/in/carapacificcampbell https://www.instagram.com/carapacificcampbell/ https://www.facebook.com/carapacific Join the book mailing list Amy Hallberg is the author of Tiny Altars: A Midlife Revival and German Awakening: Tales from an American Life.

//The Wire//2300Z June 5, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: FEDERAL RAIDS CONTINUE IN MINNEAPOLIS. FENCE-JUMPER AT MAR-A-LAGO DETAINED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Florida: A fence-jumper was reported at Mar-a-Lago overnight, with one individual immediately being arrested by authorities. AC: This doesn't appear to be anything more than a mentally ill individual hopping a fence, however because these attacks are expressly so disarming in nature, this could also be more of a probing attack to test defenses for future targeting efforts. Considering the current threat environment, little incidents like this are certainly something to be aware of, just in case.Minnesota: The situation throughout the Twin Cities remains tenuous following multiple raids by federal agencies over the past few days. Operation SAFE SUMMER is a large-scale effort to crack down on criminal enterprises within the Minneapolis area, and has resulted in several high-profile raids of businesses linked to narcotics trafficking.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Minneapolis the resistance to raids has been elevated compared to other areas. Considering Minneapolis' political leadership granting "sanctuary" status to the city, this area has become a hotbed for everything from general crime, to more advanced Cartel operations. It is this latter activity that has been targeted by the raids; the feds are not necessarily going after illegals specifically this time, these raids are more about dismantling high-level criminal endeavors. Nevertheless, local outrage has been common from both Cartel members and activists alike, with substantial intelligence collection efforts being undertaken to alert locals to raids before they happen. Several NGOs have set up mapping efforts to alert criminals to the presence of ICE in their area.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the original submission.Americana in the Historic AuditoriumJean Shore of Balsam Lake, Wis., recommends crossing into Wisconsin for an evening of American roots music. Minnesota singer-songwriters Emmy Woods, Sarah Morris and Laura Hugo will perform at The Historic Auditorium in St. Croix Falls this Saturday, June 7 at 7 p.m.Jean says: Each performer brings a unique voice and style to the stage, blending folk and country and heartfelt storytelling. But what makes this even more exciting is the venue itself. The Historic Auditorium was built in 1916 and was recently renovated in 2023, and it's quickly becoming a cultural hub for this area.— Jean ShoreA Sondheim musical at the Ritz TheaterTwin Cities theater maker Kurt Engh recommends seeing Stephen Sondheim's musical “Passion,” staged by Theater Latté Da at the Ritz Theater. Written by the same team that created “Into the Woods,” the show runs through July 13.Kurt says: “Passion” is one of Stephen Sondheim's lesser-known musicals, but one of his most complex and most honest and emotional.It is a melodramatic story set in 1860s Italy during the unification of Italy. It is an uneven love triangle between a beautiful married woman, a very handsome army captain and a in the terms of the musical, a “troubled, ugly woman.” And it is about how love and desire are reflected through beauty and beauty standards.It is a very fascinating musical in that it is directed as almost a chamber opera at a breakneck speed. There are no applause breaks. It does not let you go. It just keeps moving.— Kurt EnghImprov Festival Moves to Phoenix TheaterMichael Krefting of Minneapolis loves the improv scene in the Twin Cities, and he recommends the Twin Cities Improv Festival, happening Thursday through Sunday, June 8. This is the annual festival's first year at the Phoenix Theater in Minneapolis, following the closing of HUGE Improv Theater last year.Michael says: They have artists coming in from all over the world, a couple artists coming in from Japan. There are a lot of local names. When they select the artists for the festival, they're always trying to get the local groups that are doing either the most interesting things or doing something new and creative that's picking up steam. The whole improv community is very welcoming. And I would, I would come ready to not just laugh but also feel. I would say to expect the unexpected!— Michael Krefting(Want more improv? Krefting also recommends Improv A Go-Go at Strike Theater in Minneapolis. Every first, second, and fourth Sunday, four or five improv groups are chosen by lottery to perform, offering an affordable evening of “yes, and” energy.)

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Im gonna bring the Jesus Hammer! Garth Heckman Ryan     What do you put your stock in? Look if I knew back in 1983 that for every $1000 in Microsoft would end up being 3 million dollars… I would have put stock into Microsoft… but who would have believed in that years ago… I think I learned a lesson and I did put a chunk into Bitcoin and it is doing extremely well… but here is the point -  Some people put more stock in peoples rejection then in the affirmation of God in their life. That doesn't even make sense… but we do it. WE GIVE MORE CREDIT TO PEOPLES OPINIONS AND REJECTIONS THAT WE DO IN WHAT GOD SAYS IN HIS WORD. You know what that really is right? Its calling God a liar. You are saying… I don't believe you God, but I do believe the media, the work place, the current of peer pressure…      Faith comes by hearing so you if you fill your head with medical science or witch craft of whatever, then that is what you have faith in. Todays major obstacle is that we have non stop input from a thousand voices every day… every day… every day. Truly when I was a kid I had the voices of my teachers, my sisters, my parents and about 8 close friends… those were the only people I put some stock in… and not a lot of stock in my teachers as I got older. On my phone everyone is an expert… literally by education, resume, popularity - however you qualify it… experts everywhere buy the thousands.  I officiated a wedding 10 years ago… very wealthy couple… they had one reception for adults, with a live band that played at the Dakota club here in Twin Cities… amazing food, and beautiful decor…  But they had another whole reception for kids. Candy bar, ice cream bar, hot dogs, cheese burgers, Fries, chicken nuggets… milk shakes, rooter fountain… And basically no supervision. Just a band for kids… it was mayhem.  Thats what social media is like today… no supervision and nothing but crap.    Romans 10:17 faith cometh by hearing and by hearing the word of God… What is the key word in this verse? Faith? Word of God? Hearing? NOPE… its cometh… meaning it is a process over time. It doesn't just happen when you hear… you feed your mind again and again what ever you feed it… will surely come.    Every choice you make is making you! But way before that choice there was a voice. Be careful who you listen too… for it surely will cometh!

From Amy:When Keri and I recorded this episode in late 2022, I was still editing my second memoir for publication and she was drafting a book that's also now nearing publication. The podcast never got produced at that time, but I happened onto the recording this past winter and it caught my attention. Keri and I are still writing today. I'm starting new books and she's preparing to deliver a TED-x Talk this summer.And this conversation feels like a divinely timed gift from our former selves, and a personal invitation to you if you want it. Because yes, I absolutely am writing for my life. I know Keri still agrees.I had a stage one cancer diagnosis this past month. That's all I care to say about that right now, because this gets to be my story first. For now, I want you to know that I have emerged on the other side, and am currently cancer free with a heightened sense of awareness: One reason I need to survive IS FOR MY WRITING. I need to write this story for me. And I will share it someday.I have wisdom I am still gaining, and knowledge that people will need.I don't need to justify that impulse nor ask permission. I don't need to know now how it turns out. I am healing. I will be creating. I live into my passions.How about you? Keri Mangis is more than just an author and speaker—she's a guide for those seeking deeper meaning and transformation in a chaotic world.

Darkness Radio Presents: Jim Morrison, Secret Teacher Of The Occult w/ Musician/Poet/Author, Paul Wyld! The groundbreaking 1960s band The Doors, named for Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception, achieved incredible acclaim and influence, ultimately serving as a key group in the development of psychedelic and progressive rock. At the center of it all was complex front man Jim Morrison, who died in 1971 at only 27. Yet, as author Paul Wyld reveals, despite Morrison's reputation as a lewd, drunken performer, he was a full- fledged mystical, shamanic figure, a secret teacher of the occult who was not merely central to the development of rock music, but to the growth of the Western esoteric tradition as a whole. Wyld looks at the mystical works that inspired Morrison, including Kurt Seligmann's The Mirror of Magic, Colin Wilson's The Outsider, and the writings of Nietzsche and Jack Kerouac. Drawing on Morrison's lyrics and poems, his intimate writings, and the recollections of friends like photographer Paul Ferrara and Doors keyboard player Ray Manzarek, the author makes the case that Morrison was not simply a superficial dabbler in the occult but an actual secret teacher transmitting knowledge through the golden thread stretching back to Egypt and Thoth-Hermes. On Today's Darkness Radio, we talk with Paul about Morrison's journey before the Doors, what events shaped his life to make him set out on an esoteric journey.  We discuss the parallels between the movie Lawrence of Arabia and Morrison's journey and why he  may have taken cues from that movie on his spiritual journey.  We also discuss significant spiritual highpoint's of Morrison's life, his tragic end, and much more!
