Meet Emily at Best, Musician, Writer, Visual Artist: Creative Minds Series
“Music has always been my way of healing.” -Emily at Best
Emily takes us on her ascension journey describing the lyrics that dropped into her awareness at a time in her childhood that allowed her to express her true feelings to her parents months before her father had a fatal car accident.
She authentically shares her intuitive path, her vulnerabilities and her CREATIVE WHY that was ignited at age 10.
Join us for exciting news and deep discussions right here:
Emily at Best is a multi-faceted songwriter, musician, producer, engineer, and visual
artist hailing from Los Angeles, CA. Her name is derived from her desire to emphasize
how we are all beautiful works in progress, until the day we die. At our best and our
worst, we are ourselves. Having become familiar with loss at a young age, music has
always been an outlet of healing for Emily. Her intention in releasing music is to use
her unique voice and honest vulnerability to guide others through their own healing.
This world can be a difficult place, but what a special experience it is to be in it
together.
Emily started writing music at age 10 as a way to make sense of the world around her.
When she asked for a microphone for her 11th birthday, her parents expected her to
use it for karaoke- instead, she sang her original songs, communicating deep emotions
that both moved and surprised those who listened. She continued writing and
performing music throughout high school, playing venues such as The Mint and Bar 20
on Sunset. After graduating high school, Emily went on to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston. She is currently finishing up her senior year as a major in Contemporary Writing and Production with a minor in Music Technology.

The Karma Factor By Thomas Lane
Captivating Thriller Pierces the Genre with a Cascade of Unworldly Events Surrounding an NYPD Cop and His Serial Killer Target, Revealing the Mysteries of Human Existence Through an Extraordinary Twist of Fate
Forced to Straddle Alternative Realities, a Blue Collar Cop Must Evolve Beyond His Badge, Overcoming His Own Dark Past in Gripping Modern Fable
LOS ANGELES, CA NOVEMBER 1, 2022 – Author, poet and musician Thomas Lane debuts his first novel, The Karma Factor, a work of visionary fiction exploring the boundaries of human consciousness against the backdrop of a classic suspense thriller. With a purpose that transcends the genre, Lane expertly weaves the novel’s wider message in a ground-breaking, white-knuckle ride between worlds, as characters set out to make karmic amendments, right wrongs and re-establish the power of choice.
Haunted by a nameless guilt, tired of running from his demons, NYPD detective James Early decides to end his life. Taunting an armed suspect into blind fury, he makes himself an easy target. But the bullets fired at
point blank range are mysteriously diverted. There is no
blood and no wounds. Instead of the end, Early finds himself, miraculously, at the beginning of a long and arduous quest to solve the riddle of the missing bullets and the search for meaning: “If I’ve been given some kind of reprieve…what in God’s name am I supposed to do with it?”
The Karma Factor flips the good-versus-evil theme on
its side as it traverses the ages, interlacing past lives
with present, on a hero’s quest for redemption. Lane
juxtaposes veteran city detectives and an elusive serial
killer with a visionary monk sequestered in an
abandoned monastery in the Tibetan Himalayas. When protagonist Early sets out to uncover the mysterious force that saved his life, he discovers that, in his previous lifetime, he had been part of a secret mission. Led by a Tibetan sage, a team of advanced thinkers had gained access to the Akashic Records, a repository of every soul’s thoughts, deeds and actions through time. Their goal? To use these records to locate key individuals’ unhandled karma in the past––and help those souls be accountable for their misdeeds. The mission’s ultimate challenge would be to restore an awareness of possibilities, unburdened by the past, to a world engulfed by denial and fear.
Lane adds a unique perspective to the genre: “I see the world as a place of grit and suffering and magic. I wanted to capture those contrasting elements, show them as parts of a whole when viewed through a lens that is vast and kind and timeless. Although the story revolves around a cop and a serial killer, the book is fundamentally about hope––a hope that understands both bullets and prayers, and the path that goes beyond.”
Raised in Connecticut, Thomas Lane is a multi-dimensional creative drawn to spaces where art, spirit, and social justice intersect. He is the author of The Artists’ Manifesto, a tribute to the power of the arts and its value to a society that has forgotten the precious nature of life.
In addition to creating a collection of poetry, screenplays and paintings, he recently recorded a CD of his songs, entitled Hotel Earth under the stage name Trakker.
Politically active since his teens, Thomas subsequently created The Helen Hudson Foundation, a nonprofit focused on social issues including homelessness, racism and the environment. He currently lives with his wife in Rhode Island.
Accolades:

“An enchanted window into the history of the world that shifts the way everything is seen.”

Chaos 2 Cured with Kirk Patrick Miller, Embrace Your Neurostyle Series
It is such an honor to have Kirk as a guest to hear about his new podcast and his gratitude for his journey from chaos to cured.
Are you ready to be inspired and walk away with some mental health hacks, tips, tools and more?
Listen here:
Kirk Patrick Miller is an award nominated author and violinist. Suffering with bipolar one, ADHD, OCD, and generalized anxiety, his life was upended when he refused to give in to the diagnoses he was labeled with. After becoming the first medically documented case of full remission from bipolar, due to his unique endocrine treatment method he was asked to write his memoir, “Chaos to Cured.”
Now, ten years after writing his memoir he stands as a testament to hope and perseverance. Stable and successful, Mr. Miller runs a music institute, is a professional painter, author, speaker, and radio personality.
His desire to help others find hope comes from being granted a second chance he believes everyone deserves. First and foremost he stands against shame and judgment of any kind.
Mr. Miller believes that each and every individual can attain their potential with work, faith in themselves, and the understanding that what is often seen as a weakness is actually our greatest source of power. He stands firm in his belief that the key to living a fulfilling life is in accepting and loving the person we are, all while turning our hardships into wisdom, love, and compassion for all.

Priorities! On Staying Sane
What are your priorities?
As many of us are coming off the Thanksgiving holiday and going into December I am finding a “less is more” approach to finishing 2022 strong and with intention.
How are you taking care of yourself? Who is in your trusted inner circle? How are you showing up for yourself and loved ones?
Every day is a chance to hit reset and to do a life review.
After an amazing time with family last week I have an even DEEPER clarity of how I want to prioritize my time for optimal mental, physical & spiritual health.
Be gentle and intentional with yourself.

On Staying Sane: Gratitude Is My Secret Sauce
Many people are experiencing the fall flu, seasonal sadness, financial strife, hopelessness about world events and in general feeling “off.”
The Sssh Yourself episodes are ironic now as I needed to take a pause from recording as I had patient, personal and family emergencies in the last few weeks.
Today as I rallied to see clients while on the mend I wanted to share with all of you that while in CRISIS mode the POWER of GRATITUDE saves the day.

Someday the ENTIRE story will be revealed, all in Divine Time.
