Segment TWO

Conversation with……

Wanda Fischer, Author and Radio Host

            I have written a novel,Empty Seats, a coming-of-age book using baseball as the backdrop. What Little Leaguer hasn’t dreamed about taking to the mound at a Major League ballpark and striking out one of his icons? But what happens when life gets in the way? That’s the essence of Empty Seats, my debut novel.

            My dream, when I was 15 in 1964, was to become a sportswriter; however, at that time, opportunities for women in that career were difficult. I gave that up when I became involved in the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam War movements and moved on to other things. Written after I retired from my “day” job, this novel is my attempt to return to my original dream.

Segment FIVE

Transformational Conversations

Lisa Giruzzi, Coach, Author and Speaker

            Be the you you’ve always dreamed of being.

            Stop waiting until you have the perfect body, job, mate or amount of money. Live Life Fully NOW!!

            There’s an innocent misunderstanding at the heart of all suffering and despair. This misunderstanding has led us to resist life; attempting to control the uncontrollable and promotes feelings of lack. Once you understand how it works, your life will take off in all the ways you truly want it to. The absolute best news is it’s not hard or complicated. All it takes is a willingness to look and see what’s already there to be seen… your magnificence.
