Atlas of Being guides you as you answer the call of your inner being to create your most extraordinary life.

Join Danielle on the adventure of a lifetime as she explores the hidden corners of the globe and the farthest reaches of the human spirit. After winning the biggest trial of her career, Danielle suddenly quits her law firm.

Surrendering to the Voice’s question, “Where are you?” she realizes she isn’t where she wants to be.

Danielle has no idea what comes next except that she is about to embark on the biggest adventure of her life—traveling the world to find herself. With a backpack slung over her shoulder Danielle travels six continents, in each peeling off a layer of who she thought she was. From hiking the Ho Chi Minh trail in Vietnam to sitting in indigenous ceremony in rural Colombia, Danielle explores the true nature of humanity and how to show up authentically in the world.

The end of each chapter offers reflection exercises to access your own “aha” moments and insights that will forever transform your life.

The Ericksen Connection

About The Ericksen Connection

The Ericksen Connection is a spy thriller about betrayal, PTSD, corruption, conspiracy, terrorism, and murder. Mark Ericksen, the former Navy SEAL Team-Six operator and executive vice-president of EyeD4 Systems, a biometrics defense contractor based in Wilsonville, Oregon, was all about duty, honor, and country. He resigned from his commission in 2002 and worked for three defense contractors over the next several years, maintaining his top-secret security clearance while hiding his PTSD.
In 2009, the CIA received actionable intelligence about a Saudi terrorist mastermind aided by Russian arms dealers who needed a classified biometrics encryption communications system from EyeD4 Systems, to direct his sleeper cell operatives in launching a horrific nuclear attack on two American cities.
When America urgently needed his services again, the CIA tasked him with Operation Avenging Eagles to sabotage the plot. Can Ericksen avoid discovery and thwart the nuclear attack before a network of terrorists achieves their plans?

Catholic Daughters of Catholic Mothers: A Memoir and Guided Journal

About Catholic Daughters of Catholic Mothers: A Memoir and Guided Journal

Follow along as Dr. Martha Lucas highlights a generation of Catholic daughters, as well as just daughters, of mothers devoted to their church. Whether or not you grew up in an atmosphere laced with cultural and religious traditions, this thought-provoking introspection will have you laughing and crying from start to finish.

Dr. Lucas candidly recounts memories of her Catholic daughter’s childhood: beginning with her parents choosing which saint to name her after and continuing through her Catholic grade school education, taught by nuns, the founders of America’s parochial schools. Experience the strict discipline and rules of a system where independent thinking was discouraged. Everything was forbidden, everyone was a sinner, and every action put students at risk for “going to hell.”

Girls formed lady-like identities regulated first by school uniforms, then by the cult of the Virgin Mary, and last by the ceremonies that parishioners were forced to endure over and over again. Parents and elders were to be obeyed and respected, their wishes anticipated, while children were expected to accept punishment out of the fear of God. Afterall, obedience was a gift from the Holy Spirit.

The journey continues into adulthood with Dr. Lucas’s willingness to question authority, grapple with her own identity, and slide into becoming what she lovingly calls an “ambiguous” Catholic. She offers a visceral account of Catholic guilt, desire, piety, anger, and the superstitions that shaped the Catholic upbringing. For some, this still permeates their lives as adults.

Who were Catholic Daughters? Why did these young women work so hard to fit into the Catholic mold, even to the extent of making up sins? And what kinds of sins did you make up when you were a kid just so you’d have something to say to the priest in the confessional booth? This provocative question at the end of the “Confession” chapter is just one that is at the core of Catholic Daughters of Catholic Mothers.

This book and its guided journal questions emerged from Dr. Lucas’s experiences and desire to help others discover their truth and speak it out loud. Buy this journal now and begin an exploration of yourself and your inner beliefs. You’ll reconstruct the traces of your Catholic mother-daughter nexus, remember your personal accomplishments, get a better

Uprooted: Family Trauma, Unknown Origins, and the Secretive History of Artificial Insemination by Peter J. Boni


About Featured Book: Uprooted: Family Trauma, Unknown Origins, and the Secretive History of Artificial Insemination by Peter J. Boni

How a journey of self-discovery unearthed the scandalous evolution of artificial insemination

By his forties, Peter J. Boni was an accomplished CEO, with a specialty in navigating high-tech companies out of hot water. Just before his fiftieth birthday, Peter’s seventy-five-year-old mother unveiled a bombshell: His deceased father was not his biological father. Peter was conceived in 1945 via an anonymous sperm donor. The emotional upheaval upon learning that he was “misattributed” rekindled traumas long past and fueled his relentless research to find his genealogy. Over two decades, he gained an encyclopedic knowledge of the scientific, legal, and sociological history of reproductive technology as well as its practices, advances, and consequences. Through twenty-first century DNA analysis, Peter finally quenched his thirst for his origin.

In Uprooted, Peter J. Boni intimately shares his personal odyssey and acquired expertise to spotlight the free market methods of gamete distribution that conceives dozens, sometimes hundreds, of unknowing half-siblings from a single donor. This thought-provoking book reveals the inner workings—and secrets—of the multibillion-dollar fertility industry, resulting in a richly detailed account of an ethical aspect of reproductive science that, until now, has not been so thoroughly explored.

How does a Goldman Sachs investment banker start communicating with angels?

Through my spiritual upbringing, nearly decade-long experience as a Wall Street investment banker, and the tragic death of my mom, I awakened to the deep spiritual truths underlying our material world.

Even as little as three years ago, I thought the concepts of manifestation and attraction were the biggest bag of bologna. But when I started to treat spirituality as a superpower, my perspective shifted. As a result, my personal and professional growth skyrocketed.

Everything is energy. The problem is, most people walk through life completely unaware that the pain they feel and struggles they experience are due to an energetic imbalance.

In Banking on Angels, you can expect to tap into . . .

1. Ways to identify energetic imbalance
2. The science and psychology behind energy and elevated vibrational states
3. Tangible actions and practices to achieve greater fulfillment in life
4. How to reduce stress and find inner peace through spiritual practices and reflective journaling techniques

With this knowledge, you can begin to live your life in alignment and flow to create your dream reality.

Banking on Angels will be free on Amazon Kindle from Monday, January 23 – Thursday, January 26, 2023.
