Everything is a Miracle with Taj Simrit

Interview with author Taj Simrit, Behold My Soul Taj Simrit is a Renaissance man. He can't claim to remember any of his past lives, though. Every tidbit of wisdom he gained came from the depths of his ignorance, and every drop of humility spilled out of his tears and blood. Ram Dass wrote: "The shadow is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light." They should engrave this quote on his tombstone. Then again, Taj Simrit would never want his body to be buried underground. He'd prefer his ashes to commingle with the stars and shine forever in the cosmos. If his whole life has been about seeking happiness, he's also adopted loftier aspirations like contentment and peace. "Heal yourself first before you envision healing others,." should ultimately be his motto. If that sounds too ostentatious, you should truly read his first book. You may catch glimpses of wisdom that would otherwise take you decades to grasp, as it was in his case. Godspeed..… I am currently touring around S.E Asia on my Royal Enfield. Should you have any assignments requiring my services, in the fields of travel writing, public speaking, arranging retreats, or consulting, I am known to make quick arrangements. To thank you for sharing my book on social media and spreading that wholesome message of love and forgiveness around, I will gift you a copy of my next novel coming out in 2027. All you will have to do is ask for it. It will be the first series of a trilogy, and promises to be an enthralling ride following the tribulations of my heroine (soon to be in a theatre near you).   Learn more and order Taj's book here

Power Tools for Designing Your Life with Tonya Comer

Tonya Comer's story is one of rising—with grace, grit, and purpose. From the projects of Pittsburgh, Tonya climbed into broadcast journalism, corporate America, and ultimately, entrepreneurship. She built an award-winning interior design firm and was named one of the Top 20 African American Interior Designers in the United States. Behind the accolades and ambition was a woman shackled by shame and self-doubt. Her own self-sabotage led her to rock bottom. And it was there she found the path to transformation. Through years of inner work to heal the wounds of abuse, bullying, poverty, and abandonment, she developed life tools that rebuilt her from the inside out—tools she now shares with women everywhere. Her book In High Heels on a Ladder: The 7 Power Tools for Designing Your Life is the winner of the 2024 Nautilus Gold Award for Business & Leadership. As a transformational speaker and coach, Tonya helps high-achieving women remove their masks, reclaim their truth, and rise in authentic power—ready to lead, create meaningful impact, and build their legacy.
