Almost a hundred titles. At least, it felt that way. I decided this book, written by four extraordinary men, deserved a unique title. Its working title was Beyond The Shift, Volume Three. So I gave ChatGPT the book's core message and the copy I'd written for each author under "A Glimpse Into the Stories." Then came hours of title research on Google, YouTube, and Amazon. Every. Single. Title. A Sea of Sameness. - A song title. - A podcast. - A course created by someone well known. - Popular book title / multiple books by the same name. - Many titles I didn't even like. - And my favourite, when a title didn't resonate with an author, so I kept looking. Two days ago, I did what I invite clients to do every day in co-writing sessions. I closed my eyes, took three slow, deep breaths, dropped into my heart, and asked a question. "What is one word that describes each of the author's chapter? I jotted down one word for each author. - Paul Coulombe — Awareness (aligning with his authentic self through surrendering distraction and identification). - Edmund Lee — Mindset (recognizing how his thoughts, environment, and choices shape his experience). - Paul LaGrange — Acceptance (embracing vulnerability, receiving help, and discovering the strength of connection). - @Mario Mijares — Exploration (journeying through dreams, parallel realities, healing, and spiritual discovery). Then I asked the Universe another question: "Now what is one title, no more than three words to describe our book? The subtitle stays the same." After days of searching 75 titles, and one Google search after another, there it was. THE OPEN MAN It's how it works in The Language Portal. 💜💜 Sometimes we need to go through the whole process to remember that we already hold the gold. The Open Man Four Men's Stories of Healing, Connection, and Spiritual Discovery Where have you spent hours searching for an answer, only to pause, let go, and have it suddenly appear?

There’s something magical about connecting face-to-face, even if it is over Zoom. Wendy S Burton, the author of Amy and the Angels, interviewed her publisher yesterday. That’s me! And not only did I publish her novel / memoir, Wendy also asked if she could write a story about how people connect with their Angels. Naturally, I said yes, and "Angel Power" became a valued contribution in Beyond The Shift, Volume One. I'll let you know when the podcast is available, so you can listen in to all our fun and fascinating stories about publishing and our encounters with Angels. It all began when we met in person at a Single's Meet-up about 15 years ago, and then re-connected when I saw her post about editing her book. I immediately reached out to say, "I didn't know you were writing a book." and she said, "I didn't know you were a publisher." Such a divine intervention. Her podcast is Winging It With Wendy. If you’re interested in being interviewed by her about the Angelic Realm, let me know and I’ll connect you both. What is a divine intervention that brought you face-to-face with an extraordinary person? P.S. Here's a fun video from Wendy's book launch in Victoria in 2023.
