In light of the upcoming film, EAT, PRAY,LOVE many Americans will be inspired to pursue a spiritual journey. Jackie O'Neal, author of WOMAN PRIEST can teach your audience how to deepen their spiritual journeys along the way.

O'Neal has been featured on numerous media outlets including The J.P. Godsey Show, The Press of Atlantic City, The Huffington Post, USA Today.com, and NPR.

O'Neal says: "What is most important is that each of us are on our own individual spiritual journey, have the freedom to explore and even question the tenets of our faith without being labeled a heretic by others. Not to take this road of exploration will impede our spiritual growth, and the guilt imposed on us by others will do little to bring us to enlightenment."

"Although I've written a book that encompasses spirituality, I was not always a spiritual person. I wrote my book Woman Priest in order to share aspects of my journey as a minister in the church, and commentary on world affairs, I believe the faith communities and individuals should be aware of, in terms of helping alleviate some of the suffering in our world."

"Traumatic events can cause event the most religious person to question faith, doctrine, and dogma. After my grown son's unexpected passing, I felt drawn to re-define spirituality for my life as part of the grief process. Most of the dogma and doctrine most of us have been taught via our religious institutions, are nothing more than man- made ideas."

O'Neal can talk about:

*Spirituality: What is the difference between being spiritual and being pious in the religious sense?
*Stages of Spirituality: Non-Church Go-ers Can Be Spiritual And More Evolved Than The Average Church Go-er
* Why You Don't Have To Be A Christian To Be "Saved"

My essay about why I write will be part of the world's first representative survey of what makes writers tick. As in: really tick.

I joined my narrative voice to a thousand authors answered who responded to four simple questions:

*Why did you write?
*How did it change your life?
*How did it change the life of others?
*What about people who can't read?

I'm thrilled to share this news and let you know what an impact it will make on literacy-with each copy sold of Why We Wrote a donation will be made to the Get Caught Reading campaign of the Association of American Publishers, of which PublishAmerica is a long-standing member.

"In four volumes of this book, writers who over the years joined almost fifty thousand other PublishAmerica writers to become a published author, open a thousand windows into their minds and hearts.

Together they issue a uniquely inspiring message of dreams, drive, and determination.

Over the span of only one decade, PublishAmerica's authors have touched a million lives, and then some. They are the ABC's most effective advocates. What they're saying is that America's readers and writers can, and do, change a world."


-Willem Meiners, co-founder of PublishAmerica

The plight of Afghan women

Afghan President Hamid Karzai's recent visit to the United States was in the news, but stories about the reality of life for Afghan women have been missing. Through my support of MADRE (www.madre.org), I recently heard the story of Wahida, an Afghan woman who was only 13 when her family sold her into marriage to a man more than three times her age.

For nearly 20 years, she suffered terrible physical abuse. Then, when her husband accused her of infidelity, she was thrown in prison by a court system that sees women as less than full human beings.

She was granted a pardon only after four years. After her release from prison, she found relief in a women's shelter supported in part by MADRE's Afghan Women's Survival Fund.

This is the type of story we must remember - of courageous Afghan women demanding their rights. As Afghan people work to build their future, it will depend on the bravery of women like Wahida and the support we in the United States can extend to them.

BEHAVIOR: Creating Productive Summer Experiences For An ADHD Child

BEHAVIOR: Creating Productive Summer Experiences For An ADHD Child

Karen K. Lowry,RN and author of The Seventh Inning Sit: A Journey of ADHD, based in Medford, NJ can discuss ways parents can ensure a productive summer for children with ADHD, in light of the end of the academic year. “First, it’s important to incorporate consistent bed times into the structure of the day. Some children have co-existing disorders of anxiety which does impact going to sleep and staying asleep. The cycle of not enough sleep, and oppositional behavior appear to correlate. The academic component must be reinforced for every child in the summer ,due to the potential for regression. Only 30% of children with ADHD have no co-existing disorders. So in order to encourage the reading and math that is assigned by many schools to do over the summer, again structure comes into play. Choices are important for children when you are reinforcing academic activities that they would rather ignore.” News Contact: Jackie O’Neal ,onealmedia@live.com , +609 334 8621
