Dear Host,

BBS Radio hosts have interviewed many of Sentient Publication’s authors in the past. We are now pleased to introduce author/artist duo Alice and Richard Matzkin. Theirs is a timely human interest story – a very positive take on aging that would appeal to a large segment of the population. Despite the media’s anti-aging bias, the Matzkins have become PRO-aging, accepting the aging process and enjoying the preciousness of their golden years. I think that your listeners would be interested in an interview with the authors.

Both artists are in their sixties, and have spent the past dozen years confronting their fear of aging through their artwork. Alice Matzkin has two portraits in the permanent collection in the Smithsonian, her portraits have hung in the White House, and her Women of Age series was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show.

Richard Matzkin is a sculptor, musician, therapist and writer. He has numerous one-man shows and his sculptures are featured in collections throughout the United States. The Matzkins currently live in Ojai, California, near Santa Barbara.

Their book The Art of Aging: Celebrating the Authentic Aging Self contains beautiful paintings, color photographs, and personal narrative, which explore the art of aging and demonstrate that life itself is a work of art in which the end is as important as the beginning. Their humility, gratefulness, and wisdom are encouraging evidence that the golden years can be just that.

Some questions Alice and Richard Matzkin can be asked include:

1.      What inspired you to focus your work on aging?

2.      How has creating your art projects changed your attitude towards aging – toward your body, toward your relationship, toward life, toward death, toward your future? 

3.      What is it like now for you to be an elder?

4.      You are now in the youth of old age. What are your thoughts about late old age?

5.      You mention being initially afraid of your aging self, what helped you most to overcome that notion of fear?

6.      You feature some famous figures in your book, who where they and how did their involvement enhance the book?

7.      Any future projects?

I believe the readers of COMPANY would find inspiration and hope through The Art of Aging. I would be happy to mail you a copy of the book, along with publicity materials if you are interested. If you have any questions, please call me at the number below, or email me at cshaw@sentientpublications.com. Please let me know if you do decide to do an interview with the authors.

Yours,

Connie Shaw

The Game of One is a true story of an ancient School of Tarot that was last used in during the late 18th dynasty in Egypt. The School  of Tarot was primarily designed for members of the royal family in order to prepare kings and queens for their destiny, where they would have to demonstrate the model of a perfect human being.  Before actually assuming the throne, the royal student was to achieve his/her ultimate initiation from the great I AM  (God).  As in ancient times, initiation even today takes place when the student can honestly say that he or she is ONE, meaning that the graduated student has managed to obtain all qualities of life within one awakened consciousness, including all that is good and all that is bad. The royal Master of Tarot was then considered an evolved human being entitled to attach the word ATONE to his or her personal name (“Atone” means “one”), thus being accepted by society as being wise and knowledgeable in all of life’s matters. Well...as good as it sounds...no royalty had ever managed to be as accomplished and for all we know, one by one, all rulers ends up choosing power and control over people rather than knowledge. 

Rebecca's journey began in 1993 when her life was transformed in an instant, through the most horrid experience ever. a tornado. Rebecca and her grandson were blown out of a house and into a field under an old satellite dish.  At that time, she saw herself standing before God and his judgment.  Her sister-in-law, who had previously passed away, was leaning over God's shoulder and said, "Not now, Lord; for she still has lots of things to do."

After that horrific event, Rebecca slowly came to learn of the gifts God had given her, and why she was returned to this Earth. She not only helps others through the Angelic Realm, but is also a Master Reiki through which she uses her God given gifts to heal others.-law, who had previously passed away, was leaning over God's shoulder and said, "Not now, Lord; for she still has lots of things to do."

Rebecca is a twice published author of "And The Angels Spoke" (2005) and "From Ashes to Angel Light" (2006). In 2013, Rebecca revised and updated her first book and has been republished by Balboa Press as "And the Angels Speak". Her second book will be republished in 2014 and a third book will follow shortly thereafter.

Rebecca hosts a weekly internet talk show on BlogTalkRadio.com where she discusses a wide ranging view of topics relating to metaphysical and spiritual subjects. She is also an Inspirational Lecturer for public, private and corporate events where she shares her knowledge with others.

In her private time, Rebecca leads an active life with her two children, Amy and Andy, and five grandchildren, Clay, Kinzie, Montana, Abby and Cole. She also enjoys raising and showing Registered Quarter Horses and German Shepherd dogs. Being a free spirit, Rebecca enjoys long walks through the beautiful forests that surround her family farm and taking in the quiet, spiritual surroundings.

My name is Tanique Wright and I am a volunteer with an organization called A Just Cause. and I am sure you have a mother, father, sibling, child, or friend you would do anything for. What would you do if they were in prison when they were innocent? If they were serving time for a crime they never committed? How would you feel if they did not receive a fair trial? If their 5th amendments were violated by a judge? And the very transcript which could prove their rights were violated was destroyed? If their expert witness's were not allowed to testify for them? Our goal is to get these men out on bond, pending the outcome of the Appeals Process. These men were out on bond before for months and NEVER once violated their bails, which are still in effect. I know of a case of six men who were wrongly convicted of committing mail/wire fraud in Colorado Springs, CO. The FBI raided their business and tried to steal their intellectual property. These men were developing software for law enforcement, so they were not doing anything wrong! These men have wives and children who are suffering needlessly. This story needs to be heard!!

Guest:  Jason Dowd – Author of “A Haunted Soul” and Internationally Exhibiting Photographer of the hit "haunted' art series "Dreams, Nightmares, Fears and Fantasy"

Some believe and some don’t believe in ghosts but for Jason Dowd his life long struggle with ghosts altered his life forever.  He questioned his religion, he isolated himself from society, he felt like something was missing in his life and didn’t know what, he questioned his own sanity, and he faced the experiences without support from the age of 7.

He had no idea he had a deceased twin sister, he had no idea he was psychic and could communicate with ghosts and at the age of 12 he battled the demon that took over his room, hurting and haunting him and his friends.  Now he is a paranormal investigator and using his vast knowledge of photography, is an expert paranormal photographer.

His book depicts these stories and features photos he created in his internationally exhibiting art series to illustrate some of these nightmares he encountered growing up.  His story will send chills down your spine; yet you won’t want to stop talking about his amazing experiences.

Dowd is eager to discuss:

For several years I wrote a medical meeting column (Conrad Notes) for the internet and published two handbooks on home healthcare, assisted living, and nursing homes. As a community volunteer, I served on the board of our local nursing home and senior center in addition to being a member of the Stamford, CT health commission and interim city health director. I am a caregiver for my wife who has dementia and lead two men's alzheimer's disease (AD) caregiver support groups under the banner of the CT chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.

I would be honored to discuss caregiving of AD spouses by men and caregiving in general. Thank you. Eugene Conrad
