Powerful Story Shares One Woman's Struggle To Overcome Abandonment And Abuse

Raleigh, NC, Sept. 20, 2018 ― Deja' was dealt a losing hand, and no one would have blamed her for simply accepting her fate. Her father died before she was born, and her mother chose drug addiction over her daughter. With loneliness consuming her, Deja' could have folded. Should have folded. But instead, she learned how to recycle her pain, and she began drawing from every source of positive influence that entered her life: a God-loving grandmother, a supportive godmother and a street-savvy godfather who taught her how to redirect her pain and survive in this world.

But the challenges just kept coming, and Deja' encountered countless betrayals and abuses along the way, which lead to an unhealthy marriage, and ultimately, a pattern of unhealthy relationships with men that lasted for several years. Aware that she is repeating a family cycle of poor choices, Deja' needs to rally what's left of her strength and determination to break that cycle. Will her fortitude be enough? Or will this final test break her spirit once and for all?

Overcoming the Hand You Were Dealt is the powerful new book from Kisha Taylor. Cultivated from her personal experience with abandonment, Overcoming weaves an authentic and captivating story of struggle, pain, hope and faith that culminates in a heartwarming climax of healing and restoration.

In addition to the book, Taylor's website, lifeunlimited1.com, enables her to continue her passion for women's emotional health, with courses that tap into the warrior in every woman, that cover abandonment issues and that help survivors understand why they act and feel the way they do. The website also houses inspirational items like T-shirts and mugs with messages of empowerment, and a blog with videos and messages of encouragement.

Author Kisha Taylor was born in Brooklyn, NY, and from a young age, she learned how to navigate the real world of hard knocks. She attended Binghamton University and Baruch College, where she studied accounting and psychology. She became counsel to many, sharing principles on surviving abuse, overcoming life's challenges, healthy ways of handling personal mistakes and how to not surrender to self-defeat.

She is most proud of the lives her journey has impacted, as well as the happiness, confidence and emotional health she now has, which enables her to be a testament of, "You can, if you just don't give up.”

Loss Is A Four-Letter Word: A Bereavement Boot Camp for the Widowed

By Carole Brody Fleet

"Carole Brody Fleet is forthright in dealing with many of the difficult issues surrounding widowhood, demonstrating that you do not have to live in your past. It's not an either-or situation. She teaches the important lesson that you can incorporate your previous life into a new life.”
—Jane Brody, personal health columnist, The New York Times

Deerfield Beach, FL, September 21, 2018 — No widow or widower look exactly the same. No widowhood looks exactly the same. Therefore, no healing journey or timeline is an identical experience. The word "loss” contains only four letters, but its size belies the amount of fear it produces at even its mere mention. Even more terrifying and enormous is the reality of loss–specifically, the loss of a spouse.

Widowhood has the capacity to keep those affected from moving forward into a new and fulfilling life. The loss of a spouse is frightening. The call for relatable and actionable direction and advice remains a very real need for the widowed community, and that is just what Loss is a Four-Letter Word offers. Award-winning author Carole Brody Fleet personally experienced the pain and grief as a young widow and mother; leaving her and her 9-year-old daughter alone. Loss is a Four-Letter Word shows readers a way out, a way to move forward– not "get over”–their most profound loss in positive ways. Fleet combines no-nonsense, direct advice with specific, boot-camp style "assignments” that are framed with compassion and humor to help them through a most challenging life-journey.

A short sample of the Bereavement Boot Camp Lessons:

•    Lesson One: I'm Still Here
•    Lesson Two: "My Healing Journey Is Mine”
•    Lesson Three: Stop Putting Off Proactivity
•    Lesson Four: "I Turn to… Who?”
•    Lesson Five: Put Your Tits on Your Back
•    Lesson Six: Get Up, Get Moving… Get Out!
•    Lesson Seven: It's Your Turn
•    Lesson Eight: Past, Present, and Future: You Can Have All Three

Loss is a Four-Letter Word gives readers help without reproach, education without lecture, and support without judgment, condition, or negative opinion. All of which provides a necessary light during such devastating times. Fleet tells them, "Because while our spouses may have departed this earth, we are still here. And we matter too.”

Reviews:

Karen Noé, author, We Consciousness: 33 Profound Truths for Inner and Outer Peace and Your Life After Their Death: A Medium's Guide to Healing After a Loss: "Carole Brody Fleet has done it again! In Loss is a Four Letter Word, she offers practical, straightforward advice on how to move forward on a positive path after losing a loved one. I've had Carole as a guest on the "Angel Quest” radio show a number of times because of how much she has benefited my listeners with her knowledge. If it sounds like I am impressed with her, it's because I am. I love this book, and I love Carole!”

Lisa Lockwood, crime analyst, author, police and military veteran: "What I love and appreciate is Carole Brody Fleet's firsthand knowledge and approach on the most taboo topic in society. Having gone through personal loss, I always learn something about how to approach the topic with empathy and how to permit others to comfort me in the worst of times.”

Stacey Gualandi, Emmy award-winning journalist: "Carole Brody Fleet has faced painful challenges and loss with courage and resilience. Through her own personal healing, we can all learn from and be inspired by her.  I have a four-letter word for Carole: HERO.”

Kristin Higson-Hughes, Senior Features Editor, Women's World Magazine: "Just as there is no timetable to grief, there certainly is no checklist on how to recover strength and joy after suffering a loss. Here you will find authentic, candid, trustworthy, and--perhaps most pertinent of all--pragmatic advice promising that although the landscape of life may forever be changed, the future can still hold purpose, beauty, and magic. With a signature style all her own, Carole Brody Fleet "trains" you to find yourself again (hint: there's no wrong path, but some are healthier for your soul!). Together, you will navigate everything from social media to financial matters to the possibility of finding love again. Sure, it can feel impossible to do, and even more so to find answers, but sign up, dear recruit, and discover this book's wit and wisdom, and its author's enormous-as-the-universe heart!"

Kim Iversen, nationally syndicated radio show host: "Carole is an angel, not just an expert. Many of us have no clue what to say to a loved one going through tremendous loss. We sit by and watch helplessly as they struggle with their 'new normal'. Carole's book is a must read; not just for widows, but for those of us who love a widow as well. As a relationship radio talk show host, I have always had words to comfort and guide someone through every type of heartache-----every heartache except the death of a spouse. This type of loss leaves many of us speechless. Finally, someone who knows what to say when the rest of us do not."

The Death Of The Angry Black Woman Invites Self-Reflection; Helps Women Learn How To Bury Their Anger And Embrace A New Self  

Charlotte, NC, September 20, 2018 ― Charlotte pastor and face of the popular Car Chronicles Movement, Jameliah Young-Mitchell has penned The Death of the Angry Black Woman—a book published by Warren Publishing that discusses stereotypes faced by African-American women. The book released at #1 on Amazon.com for New Releases in the Anger Management category.

Anger can get the best of many women, but when anger erupts into rage and leads to shouting, fighting, and name-calling, it's time to look within and make a change. The Death of the Angry Black Woman boldly acknowledges stereotypes faced by women in the black community and uncovers the seeds that lead many to live anger-filled lives. Instilled with Biblical scripture and jaw-dropping honesty, this debut book from Pastor Jameliah Young-Mitchell, the voice behind the popular Car Chronicles Movement, will empower you to bury your anger, reject false labels, and embrace the new you.

"I wrote this book for all the women out there who are dealing with anger that they have yet to find the source of,” said Young-Mitchell. "Many women in the black community come from backgrounds of abuse, mistreatment, violence––and they become fighters. Through my book I hope to be that voice in their head, the one we all hear but rarely acknowledge, encouraging them to move on, let go of anger, reject hateful labels, embrace their powerful femininity, and live the life God intended them to live.”

Pastor Jameliah Young-Mitchell is the daughter of the late Evangelist Violetta B. Young and Pastor James I. Young, and grew up in Brooklyn, NY, as the youngest of four kids. She has preached across the United States and internationally and is the pastor of Unity Church Charlotte. Young-Mitchell is an experienced keynote speaker for women's empowerment, teen and youth mentoring, corporate America, and relationships. She is the voice behind the popular Car Chronicles Movement where she can be seen live on Facebook Monday through Friday at 7:30 a.m. Young-Mitchell is the proud mother of a son and daughter and resides in Charlotte, NC, with her husband, Calvin W. Mitchell.

Select excerpts from many five-star reviews on Amazon.com:

"This book is an awesome read! The transparency and life examples of Pastor Jameliah Young- Mitchell gives [sic] the reader a firsthand view of what an overcomer looks like. There is something for everyone to learn and apply to their lives to become better people.”

"At first I wasn't interested in reading this book because I felt that I was not 'Angry' but as I read I discovered that I was angry and suffered some of the same things but learned how to mask the pain. This book allowed me to begin the process of a new me. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is in need of refocusing.”

"I recently joined a book club with a few other ladies and this was one of the first books recommended. I could relate to a lot of the content in the book and was able to dig a little deeper and have a little self-reflection afterwards. I highly recommend this!”

"I liked everything about the book. From the start to the end... it's a mind-blowing moment for real I tell you! This is a 10-star book.”

"This book is just awesome. It has definitely set me free, it has been a blessing to My Mind & Soul.”

"[Jameliah] is very candid in this book. She has a way of leading, teaching, and encouraging, all while openly acknowledging that she too is still learning. It is written in such a way that EVERYBODY can understand. I love it!!”

In a World Full of Fad Diets, Americans Should Focus on Fiber

Quick – think of a fad diet. You can probably think of several right away. We know the names by heart, almost as a shorthand of quick weight loss options. Each of these diets are brands unto themselves, and thousands of Americans turn to them each day in an attempt to lose weight, and by extension, become healthier.

As we do so, we miss the forest for the trees. None of these diets – and there’s a new one every week – are as healthy a weight-loss alternative as simply adding fiber to your diet.

The Benefits of Fiber in Your Diet

On average, Americans eat 11 grams of fiber in their diet each day. But health organizations, ranging from the American Heart Association, the National Cancer Institute and the American Diabetes Association recommend a daily intake of 30 to 40 grams. There are many reasons for this recommendation.

First and foremost, fiber is critically important for heart health. Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health recommends an increase in soluble fiber – the kind that dissolves in water – to lower both glucose levels and cholesterol. Consider nuts, berries and even oatmeal in this category.

For digestive health, Harvard recommends an increase in your daily consumption of non-soluble fiber. Think of whole wheat bread, carrots, couscous, and legumes.

Finally, a recent study published by the L.A. Times notes that increasing fiber by just five grams a day led to a loss of nearly five pounds in participants.

An Easy Fiber Solution

So with so many benefits for a diet that’s high in fiber, why do so many Americans fall short? The answers vary, but for most, it comes down to one constant – time. Americans are constantly on the move, and taking the time to eat right is not always in the cards.

However, while there are healthy ways for even the busiest among us to get the fiber, and the health benefits that we need, many Americans may not want to do them. You can drop the potato chips and replace them with raw vegetables. Instead of drinking fruit juices, you can eat whole fruits instead. But the simplest change may be adding fiber supplements to your daily routine. There are many options, but only one was invented with cholesterol and heart health in mind – Cholesterade®.

Invented and patented by University of Florida scientist Dr. J. Robert Cade (also the inventor of Gatorade), Cholesterade® is an easy fiber solution, one that provides the benefits of both soluble and insoluble fiber. It even helps you lose weight. Take the time to learn more by visiting Cholesterade’s website today. Your heart and your waistline will be glad you did!

CordovaCann to purchase 4 million convertible preferred shares of NWN Inc.

Commercial cannabis sales utilizing NWN's technology expected in 2019

TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESSWIRE / September 17, 2018 / CordovaCann Corp. (CSE: CDVA) (OTCQB: LVRLF) ("Cordova" or the "Company"), a cannabis-focused consumer products company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent (the "LOI") to form a strategic partnership with NWN Inc. ("NWN"). This new partnership will allow Cordova to license from NWN industry-leading cannabinoid technology and intellectual property for use in a number of U.S. jurisdictions currently served by Cordova. Furthermore, Cordova has also agreed to make a strategic investment in NWN by purchasing 4 million convertible preferred shares of NWN at a price of one Canadian Dollar ($1.00) per preferred share.

NWN is a privately-held Canadian company that is conducting research on the effects of cannabinoids to develop novel compilations and formulations of cannabis-derived products for global commercial use. NWN's intellectual property and product development initiatives are focused on the manufacturing of consistent cannabinoid derivative products. NWN also conducts research on the genetic properties of cannabis to develop genetically differentiated cannabis plants that improve yields and enhance specific attributes of cultivated flower.

Pursuant to the LOI, Cordova will make a strategic investment in NWN of four million Canadian Dollars to purchase 4 million convertible preferred shares of NWN at a price of one Canadian Dollar ($1.00) per preferred share (each, a "Preferred Share") for a total equity investment of approximately 10% of NWN on a fully diluted basis. Each Preferred Share shall be convertible to one common share of NWN, subject to appropriate adjustments for any stock splits, consolidations or other recapitalizations. Cordova's investment in NWN will be made in two tranches; a first tranche of 500,000 Preferred Shares immediately upon signing of the LOI and second tranche of 3.5 million Preferred Shares on or before December 31, 2018. Furthermore, NWN has granted Cordova a right of first refusal to participate in any future equity offerings of NWN. Cordova and NWN also have a common officer and director, Mr. Nathan Nienhuis, further strengthening the relationship.

The LOI also stipulates that NWN will grant Cordova a license to the technologies and intellectual property for production of NWN's genetically differentiated flower and the manufacturing and distribution of NWN's resulting cannabis derivative products that can be sub-licensed to the Company's third-party operating partners. This license will be granted on traditional commercial licensing terms. Cordova will initially hold exclusive licenses in the states of California, Colorado and Oregon. Furthermore, Cordova will also have rights to exclusive licenses in Nevada and Washington as Cordova develops a substantial presence in those markets, and the opportunity for other exclusive or non-exclusive licenses as Cordova enters additional markets globally.

"We believe uniform product consistency obtained by precise product formulation is critical for the cannabis industry globally in the coming years," stated Mr. Taz Turner, CEO of Cordova. "NWN is an industry leader in pursuing this strategy through its application of rigorous scientific research and its development of intellectual property. We are pleased that NWN has chosen to partner with Cordova to utilize its technology and IP in our markets and are excited to introduce these products in the coming year."

"NWN's technologies will result in a major competitive advantage for Cordova. The genetic technologies can produce cannabis plants with higher concentrations of active pharmaceutical ingredients, improving the quality of our products sold into the dried flower market and can significantly increase our cannabinoid yields for extraction. NWN's formulation technologies can assist in the manufacturing of uniformly consistent products across the spectrum of cannabinoid-derived products including vape liquids, distillates, concentrates, edibles and drinks. Furthermore, it is expected that NWN's intellectual property will be able to control the intensity, duration and other variables of the consumer experience. As the legal cannabis industry grows globally, consumers and patients are becoming more discerning about their purchases and there is a greater emphasis on controlled and responsible use of cannabis-related products," stated Mr. Turner.

"These licenses will allow Cordova to reduce its R&D budget significantly as the ongoing development of novel compilations and formulations of cannabinoids and cannabis genetic research will be funded and progressed by NWN. Furthermore, by investing in NWN, Cordova will retain an indirect ownership stake in any intellectual property that is created in the course of these developments and will have the ability to increase its ownership stake over time if we choose to do so," concluded Mr. Turner.
