As a tale, it allows you, the reader, to immerse yourself in the experience. Although personal development, self-help, and similar genres offer information, illustrating through story often can impact at a higher level than “how-to” instructions. This is why parables, allegories, myths, and legends have stood the test of time. One can go back and read and reread and glean new insights and applications. The majority of the characters and names in the story are essentially a figment of Karen's imagination. The main character is Haley, whose name means heroine. Although the heroine makes do with her ordinary life, she feels as if there is something missing. She ventures outside her comfort zone on a Call to Adventure. On the journey from the known to the unknown, she meets with challenges; takes transformational leaps; and asks for and receives help from friends and guides. As she embraces her full life, she lives into her joy of genius and returns with treasures that empower her to embark on the next call. What can you do with just 5 minutes?

Learning to love oneself starts by uncovering the limiting beliefs that lurk in our subconscious clearing the way for true self-love and wholeness. Each of us picks up limiting beliefs in our youth that rob us of our potential and our joy. Becoming Beautiful is author Kari Romeo’s transformation story. It is told through stories of family, careers, and marriage while offering suggestions to the reader to get curious about their own stories and limiting beliefs.  Kari Romeo‘s career path took her down many different avenues. She is a retired Air Force officer, has managed numerous retail stores and is presently a Real Estate agent as well as a transformational life coach. To the outside observer, she appeared to be a highly successful woman. In her mind, however, she struggled with a lack of self-esteem, questioning her worth, and feeling like she just wasn’t enough. Kari struggled to feel feminine while wearing a more masculine mask she felt was needed to be successful in leadership positions. Kari realized that limiting beliefs were robbing her of her potential, her opportunities, and her joy. She took up the challenge to eliminate these damaging beliefs to unlock her happiness. Using the power of questions to find her truth, Kari freed herself from a lifetime of self-criticism and judgment. She removed her habitual negative cloak and learned to embrace her inner light. Now it is her passion to help others embrace themselves with love, joy, and compassion so they too, may be free to shine beautifully!

On National Maritime Day 2018, a group of bipartisan congressional members came together to introduce the Energizing American Shipbuilding Act.  This legislation introduced by Congressman John Garamendi (D-CA) and cosponsored by Congressman Duncan Hunter (D-CA), Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), Congressman Alan Lowenthal (D-CA), and Congressman Donald Norcross (D-NJ) aims to increase the number of American ships carrying liquified natural gas.  The law if passed would require a very small percentage of LNG exported from America be carried aboard American flag vessels. Just this one small requirement would require the construction of at least 50 new LNG vessels.
