Julie Ryan’s journey proves that intuitive and healing abilities aren’t just gifts — they’re skills anyone can learn. A successful inventor and serial entrepreneur, Julie mastered the art of medical intuition, spirit communication, and energy healing more than 25 years ago, blending business acumen with extraordinary spiritual insight. Today, she’s known as a “buffet of psychicness™,” able to scan the human body, detect illnesses, facilitate energetic healings, access past lives, and communicate with spirits — both living and deceased — all from a distance. Julie turns her intuitive abilities on and off at will, practicing only with permission and maintaining strict confidentiality out of deep ethical respect. In addition to her intuitive work, Julie’s 35-year business career includes founding nine companies across five industries and inventing globally distributed surgical devices. She’s also the host of the hit podcast, Ask Julie Ryan, streamed in over 100 countries, where she scans callers live each week and shares insights that bridge the practical and the mystical. Above all, Julie is a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend — proof that it’s possible to live fully grounded in both the spiritual and the real world.

Two Scottish Researchers, Jim MacGregor and John O’Dowd are about to set the historical world on fire with their extensive research in a new book, Two World Wars and Hitler: Who Was Responsible?, which takes a deep dive into the murky waters of global politics, exposing the intricate web of money, foreign agents, and geopolitical schemes that shaped the events of the 20th century. This book challenges the accepted narratives surrounding the causes of the two world wars and Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, peeling back layers of propaganda to uncover hidden truths about the clandestine dealings of financial elites to the machinations of intelligence operatives. These forces continue to influence the violent outbreaks witnessed today. The authors argue that these conflicts are not inevitable, but fueled by powerful individuals and institutions that actively manipulate nations by prioritizing profit and dominance over the welfare of humanity. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a student of geopolitics, or simply curious about the forces that shape our world, this book is an invitation to question what you thought you knew. It is a compelling read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the power structures that continue to influence our world today.

There are travel blogs. And there are book blogs. There are even history blogs. But no one has brought all of that together into one—until now!

For people who love history, historic novels and travel to historic destinations, The Historic Traveler is the first place they can call home. This blog alongside its associated membership community and alliance Historic Traveler International gives history lovers and readers a vast resource, information, and entertainment.

The Historic Traveler is the latest endeavor from pioneer, Jackie Lapin, initially one of the world’s first women sportswriters with such publications as the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and Detroit Free Press, and then founder of one of America’s largest and most prestigious sports and cable TV PR firms. Her more recent companies refocused on helping personal growth authors secure podcast and radio shows, and, most recently, speaking engagements. In each field, she created ventures that were entirely innovative and acknowledged for their leadership. 

But what many did not know during her prestigious career is that Jackie traveled globally for business and pleasure, always accompanied by her cameras, seeking to absorb the rich history of each location. In The Historic Traveler blog, she shares her passion twice weekly with highlights from the more than 500 localities she has visited and photographed, along with book recommendations for historic novels, mysteries, histories and biographies that illuminate what it would have been like to have lived there.

“I have been photographing fascinating cities, villages and historic landmarks for decades and it’s time to share my knowledge, photos and my favorite books with people like me, who can’t get enough of imagining what these places must have been like in their prime,” says Jackie. “But I also wanted to provide a place where history, travel and historic novel lovers can gather with like-minded people and get more resources to feed their passion --and make their historic travel easier.”

Jackie Lapin has been a life-long traveler, seeking to experience history through the world’s cities, villages, castles, landmarks, nature and books. A Southern California native, she first began a deep exploration of the history of her state and the people who shaped it, ignited by a trip to the California missions in third grade. As a college student, she created her own field trips to explore the historic land and cityscapes of California.

As an adult, she began to travel for work and pleasure, accompanied by her cameras (always more than one!) to document for herself—and somewhere in the recesses of her mind—so she could share the pictures and stories with others. And when she couldn’t travel, she read historic novels, historical chronicles and biographies so she would better understand what she was seeing. It was her escape and her education.

Photography gave her a sense of artistry and expression, in contrast to the practical dedication to her professional life.

Jackie marked out an illustrious career as a serial pioneer, initially as one of the world’s first women sportswriters, writing for the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and Associated Press—breaking press box barriers. She then built and ran over the course of 20 years.one of the two largest sports/special events/cable TV public relations firms in America with a world class client list. Her next move was to write two internationally bestselling personal growth books, one of which was awarded Best Spiritual Book of the Year at the International New Age Trade Show. Finding herself drawn to the leaders who were committed to making the world a better place, she rebranded her agency Conscious Media Relations and began helping them market their books and messages through the media. Ultimately, the company became a leader in podcast/radio tours for experts, offering them to 9000 podcasts and radio shows. She then created and sold SpeakerTunity, a company providing speaking, podcast and summit leads monthly to speakers seeking venues. 

After years in the trenches serving others, Jackie determined the time was right to focus on her own passion, sharing the stories, photos and the books that make history so fascinating to her. Hence, the creation of her blog, The Historic Traveler, and her membership alliance, Historic Traveler International — dedicated to informing, uniting and supporting other history and historic book lovers.

“The world is my history classroom,” she says, “and I am always excited to learn!” 

Jackie is sharing the content and images from her visits to more than 500 cities, villages, castles, landmarks and more. Her slide archive includes nearly 20,000 images. Jackie’s personal library counts 600 books—including many she sources from used bookstores on day-long treasure hunts. Her work is showcased in both the blog and The Historic Traveler quarterly magazine available to members. You can track her newest travels on the blog at www.thehistorictraveler.com

Elizabeth Waterman is a Los Angeles-based fine art photographer.  A through-line in her body of work is the depiction of artists and performers of many genres and sub-cultures. Her distinctive photographs explore female sexuality, strippers and exotic dancers, drag queens, adult film actors, and portraits of artists. Her sold-out book MONEYGAME (XYZ books, 2021) features photographs of strippers from five cities across the U.S. (MONEYGAME II is in the works, scheduled for 2025). It has had exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe. Waterman’s new book, CANDYLAND – featuring color splashed portraits of female adult film actors shot outdoors during the pandemic, as well as a foreword by Stormy Daniels – was released by Unicorn Publishing  on September 30, 2024.

Recently, Waterman has spent significant time in Thailand photographing “ladyboys” and women working in nightlife. She continues to photograph these subjects, and the images will comprise another book, MONEYGAME Thailand, to be published in late 2026. Also in the works are several TV projects, including MONEYGAME Thailand, a docu-follow series on Ladyboys working in nightlife in Thailand, and a show on the subculture of carnival performers in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

Additionally, Waterman is working on a new series featuring diptychs of richly cross-processed colored images of dancers, to be shown at Anderson Yezerski gallery in Boston in 2026.

Greetings!

My name is Justin L. Shaw, and I just finished the publication process of my first book Sourcery 101: 13 Rungs to a Higher Elevation of Consciousness.  The misspelling of sorcery is purposeful because becoming a Sourcerer is not about casting spells, it is about using Source energy to heal trauma and manifest a thriving new life.   I can best describe my book as: The Four Agreements meets The Secret meets A Million Little Pieces if it were written by Jerry Seinfeld. 

My backstory is weaved together with lots of humor, pop culture metaphors, and insight to create a unique system of healing that was inspired by the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.  However, unlike AA, the 13 rungs of Sourcery do not discriminate between the symptoms of soul sickness.  A Sourcerer recognizes that the overuse of our phones and a hyper focus on the material world can be just as destructive to the soul as drugs and alcohol. Each specific symptom, such as addictions to gambling, food, shopping, sex, drugs, etc., as well as most forms of what is referred to as “chronic illness,” all branch out from the same root cause: spiritual bankruptcy. 

I have included the PDF version of the book.  If you just commit yourself to the 3-page intro I promise you will see why I would make for a fun collab!  Part of my story was my misuse of social media and the freedom that came from deleting all accounts, so I have no handles to share; but if you care to work with me, I’m an email away. 

Thank for your time and may “The Source” be with you!
