I am excited about the path we are about to take together and I value the time we will share. So take a deep breath, open your heart, open your mind, and join me every Thursday, 8p.m CST/ 9p.m. EST. Let's have some fun!

She has worked with children and families since 1985. Midge has worked as a school counselor, a counselor for terminally ill children and their families, and as a mental health therapist. She works extensively with children and families who have lived through abuse, neglect, loss, foster care, and adoption. Midge believes that any trauma can be overcome by choosing happiness, and by choosing to be a survivor and not a victim.

Midge held the office of President for the Licensed Professional Counselor's Association of North Carolina in 2005. She is currently a member of that association, LPCANC and a member of AMHCA, American Mental Health Counselors Association.

Midge has published two children's books. The first book, SHEBA, Home Is Where Your Heart Is focuses on abuse, neglect, learning to trust again and finding your forever home. Her second book, ICE CUBE AWARD, Learning To Be Cool Under Pressure focuses on anger management, bullying, and finding your inner wisdom to manage problems without aggression. She donates a portion of the proceeds from the sales of her books to one day realize a no kill animal shelter in her community by bolstering spay/nueter efforts.

Midge loves her family, which includes her four-legged kids, camping, hiking, the mountains, yoga, cooking, advocating for animals, helping kids find their inner voice, and living as a vegan.

            Laura Hall

                  I was born and raised in North Carolina but have traveled all over the world. I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Human Services from Wingate University in 1999 and graduated with a Masters of Education in School Counseling from North Carolina A&T in 2003. I began working in the Alamance Burlington School System (a system I graduated from high school) in a self contained alternative school setting. Since this was not what I had gone to school for I continued to look for a school that would allow me to do what I had been trained to do. In August 2005 I found that location in a local middle school and have been happily working there ever since. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to work with students and this was a dream come true. I am a middle school guidance counselor working primarily with 8^th grade students and testing coordinator for my school. Ultimately I want to work with the same population that I found myself in while attending high school, but one thing at a time.

                  I have one child, a 17 year old son, and live with my 2 German Shepherds Montana and Cheyenne. My passion is and has always been traveling and with that I have visited 36 states and 6 countries around the world. I am also currently working on a book about my experiences as a pregnant teen and the choices that I had to make.

Mark McMahon
MARK MCMAHON is the author of DRIVING TO THE END OF THE WORLD and the forthcoming HEAL YOUR SELF WITH YOUR VOICE. 

Mark left a lucrative dental practice behind to follow his passion for travel and photography. He embarked on a solo-driving odyssey from Tucson all the way to the southern tip of South America. He spent 2 1/2 years photographing his way through 14 countries.

After the driving adventure his life became about inspiring others to live the life of their dreams. His books and projects have all had the common thread of enabling others to connect with their own higher Self for passion and direction. 

Another interesting curve in his path came in the form of a sound healing modality. Without any background in sound or music he discovered a talent for using his voice and the voice of participants to release aches and pains, clear mental and emotional blocks and open psychic and spiritual potentials. 

Some of Mark's other notable accomplishments:
