It is the culmination of twenty years of communication strategies and concepts developed by Dr. Frank Plateroti whom inspired thousands of university students.

Now everyone can take the challenge to see if they view their world the same way after reading Speak No Evil - In Search of our Self-esteem, Self-empowerment, and Self-worth.

Living Under A “Rock”: “The Red House”

admin — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 17:15:03 +0000

Turning onto the gravel driveway, excitement wells up inside of me as I prepare to see my mom and two younger brothers, Tracy and Jason, whom I haven't seen in almost three months, and to be a family again after two years living with my father and older brother, Dana, since the divorce. But my father will not be staying with us in the "Red House" now that mom is remarried to her husband, Rocky. Just thinking of his name, "Rocky", makes me nervous and causes a shiver to travel down my spine. He is a large, powerful man with little patience for the weak and even less tolerance for those who don't respect him ... I climb out of the car with the "Red House" directly in front me, and the bark of the largest dog I have ever seen ringing in my left ear; the two-hundred-pound-Saint Bernard yanking on the chain attached to the collar around his neck, trying to break free to greet me with his large white fangs. The front door of the "Red House" is wide open, but completely void of any light, not even the bright rays of the sun are able to penetrate the darkness. Little did I know the evil hiding and waiting for me in the shadows on the other side of that door.

It's 1948, civil war in Greece was about to turn the world of one family upside down! This is the story about that family and the life-changing events that take place in their life. Civil war in Greece caused the parents of the four children to make a major decision, which brings them to a sudden and a fast separation between themselves and their children. They made the decision to send their children to America alone...without their parents, due to the current American immigration laws that were in effect at this time in Greece. Their life evolves from Greece to America and the love they develop for both countries, as they struggle to deal with the occurrences that were about to take place in their life. The four children have to deal with many challenges while moving toward adjusting and learning how to survive without their parents in their new beloved country, America. Now they had come to the wonderful country that their parents had so often described to them with much love during their young years growing up in Greece.

Flashback: My Memories: Ages 2-19 (1951-68)

admin — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 15:52:20 +0000

I feel I grew up at a good age starting with the last year of the 40's, 1949. Through my observation of time past I figured out that there was a lot of history before "my time" and before one knew it, "my time" came shortly
afterwards. Who knew what would transpire during the next couple of decades? My observation served me well for decades later to remember as many events and personal memories as I could. This was how my book "Flashback" came about. There are still many folks out there who can or will relate to many of my memories I have recorded in "Flashback." I trust there will be many younger generations who have very little clue as to how things were in my "back then." Either way, I enjoyed recording my "Flashback" memories and it is for anyone out there to enjoy reading about "my time" from ages two on up through my nineteenth birthday.

Linda Ronstadt: Rock’s First Female Superstar

admin — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 23:56:48 +0000

Linda Ronstadt was born in Tucson, Arizona during the Truman Administration, one year after World War Two ended. She grew up listening to a wide array of musical styles, from Jazz to Country to Mariachi to Opera to early Rock & Roll. At the age of eighteen, she dropped out of college and headed to Hollywood in search of fame and success as a musician. Shortly afterward, she formed The Stone Poneys - a Folk Rock band responsible for the revolutionary and poignant classic 'Different Drum'. After three albums released on Capitol Records, the group disbanded in 1968 and Linda experienced several years of career ups and downs. In 1975, Ronstadt became a superstar with the explosion of Heart Like A Wheel, a shimmering aural masterpiece considered to be the blueprint of the Country Rock genre still in effect today. Linda became the most successful female singer of the 1970s, and, ultimately, one of the most successful recording artists of all time. As of 2014, Linda has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and has won 12 heralded Grammy Awards including the 2011 Lifetime Achievement honor. 2014 was also the year that she was inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and awarded The National Medal Of Arts from President Barack Obama. Despite losing her singing ability to Parkinson's Disease, Linda Ronstadt continues to influence people with her remarkable body of timeless recorded works. This is her story, penned by writer Mark Watson for the sake of posterity.
