Celebrity Tarot Reader Cardsy B Kicks Off Book Tour for The Saturn Diaries

Readers Can Get a Head Start on New Year’s Transformation With The Saturn Diaries

MIAMI – December 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

A new year, a new beginning. For those already looking to shed your old skin and leave 2022 behind, look no further. Celebrity Tarot reader and author Rebecca Szymczak, aka Cardsy B, kicks off her book tour for The Saturn Diaries: A Modern Day Grimoire. Cardsy B’s debut book shares the irresistibly witty and raw account of seemingly having it all, and losing everything only to redirect inward to find healing and purpose by unlocking the power of intuition. The Saturn Diaries not only shares Cardsy’s healing journey; it shows readers how to start their own journey to healing.

First stop in the book tour: the Tierra Santa Healing House at the famed FAENA hotel in Miami on December 12th. At 7 pm, the evening starts with Elixirs and Cocktails followed by an energy update for the upcoming year, a Q+A hosted by Jenny Ponce of Miami Lit and Eugene Gant, and a closing meditation by Augustina Caminos.

The Saturn Diaries is deemed by literary powerhouse Kirkus Reviews “A funny, confessional remembrance of finding redefinition in the cards,” and has already hit #1 in Occult and #4 in LGBTQ+ Memoirs on Amazon in presale.

A scrappy rebel from rural Pennsylvania, Rebecca Szymczak – aka Cardsy B, built the quintessential Manhattan life she always dreamed of consisting of high-level fashion jobs, celebrity friends and her own lingerie line. That was until the astrological transit known as Saturn’s Return stripped away her self-identity, career, marriage and security. Beneath the glossy, Instagramable surface loomed a battle with depression, anxiety and substance abuse she had to overcome. Following a harrowing dark night of the soul, she began to heal by revisiting her childhood hobby of pulling Tarot cards and in doing so, reconnected with her intuition. That’s when her life took her in an unexpected and magical turn.

Each chapter in this genre-bending memoir/spellbook concludes with a spell, elixir, or ritual that Cardsy B created throughout her healing journey. The Saturn Diaries is a hilarious chronicle of discovery and remembrance, perfect for diving into intuition this holiday season or as a gift for anyone needing to reclaim their inner magic.

Author Ram Malik’s New Book ‘Life of a Soul: Under the Shadow of Gita’ is a Compelling Spiritual Work That Shares the Author’s Learnings From 20 Years of Experience

Recent release “Life of a Soul: Under the Shadow of Gita” from Newman Springs Publishing author Ram Malik is an engaging work that shares a message of spiritual health as lovingly, compassionately, sensitively, courageously, and completely as possible with the ultimate hope of helping the readers through their journey of life.

PLEASANTON, Calif. – December 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Ram Malik, a retired mechanical engineer who spent decades working in the defense and IT industry, has completed his new book “Life of a Soul: Under the Shadow of Gita”: a fascinating work that allows readers to deepen their understanding of their connection to God through exploring their spiritual health.

Upon retirement, the author renewed his studies in Karma yoga and devoted his time to the service to humanity by studying and lecturing on the spiritual philosophies of Bhagwat Gita. Through his personal and interpersonal experiences, the author has gained insight into the needs of the human soul, its origin, its likes and dislikes, and why it decided to land in a human body, and what is its final resting place.

Author Ram Malik writes, “This book is all about the human soul, its source, its presence, its journey, its nature, its desires and its connection with God, and its support system and its destination. Why and where the soul comes from, why and how does it decide to enter a human body. Sages say “soul is God miniaturized”; if so, what are the similarities between human soul and Supreme soul? What does the soul want? Thinkers say that soul wants nothing as Soul consciousness is only to experience the Divine. Soul is proof that God is a source of all humans and the universe and to know Him is to know all.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Ram Malik’s intriguing work is designed to assist readers seeking to become closer to God.

Readers who wish to experience this original work can purchase “Life of a Soul: Under the Shadow of Gita” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.

Author Thomas Blackshear’s New Book ‘The Child Support Felon’ is a Gripping Memoir of the Obstacles Faced by the Author While Dealing With the Ohio Child Support System

GREENSBORO, N.C. – December 8, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Thomas Blackshear has completed his new book “The Child Support Felon”: a powerful and enlightening look at how the child support system unfairly treats parents, and a new proposed way to ensure that the system treats all parents fairly and keeps both parents involved in the lives of their children.

“This book is about my experience with the child support system in Ohio and how I met many obstacles dealing with the mother and the court system,” writes Blackshear. “Imagine being ordered to pay $1,200 a month for two children out of a monthly salary of $2,100 when you already are caring for an older child. Well that is what happened to me.

“I write about the key points throughout the process where I defy and then try to cooperate with the court, which led to my being charged with a felony for nonpayment and then imprisonment after a plea agreement had been reached, which the court did not honor. I talk about my time in prison and some of how the system works. I also detail how this affected my children, who were trying to establish a relationship with me before and after I got out of prison.

“At the end of the book, I write a proposal to change the child support system from one that is punitive to one that is a cooperation between parents that can eliminate the court completely based on what I tried to establish in my relationship with the mother. I offer a plan that will hopefully bring fathers back into their children’s lives by presenting a solution that is focused on the child instead of being punitive to a parent.

“This book is needed now because not only does it affect the people of lower income like myself, but I often hear rich celebrities complain about how the child support system needs to be changed. The object of the book is not only to make the system equal for both parents but to also keep fathers in the lives of their children.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Thomas Blackshear’s thought-provoking read is an impactful look at how the child support system often treats one parent unfairly, and shifts focus away from the wellness of any children involved.

Readers who wish to experience this poignant work can purchase “The Child Support Felon” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

Americans Say They Can’t Afford to Move — And Can’t Afford to Stay

New survey on real estate from The Harris Poll Thought Leadership Practice shows people considering drastic moves to solve housing market dilemma

NEW YORK – December 8, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Americans want to be homeowners, but feel they can’t afford to buy — most agree “the American dream of owning a home is dead.” But they also feel that they can’t afford to stay where they are — and their solutions could change the country’s housing market, according to “The State of Real Estate,” the latest survey from The Harris Poll Thought Leadership Practice, released today.

The survey, conducted online among a representative sample of 1,980 U.S. residents in November, provides a deep dive into how Americans — particularly young Americans — feel about all aspects of homeownership.

Most Americans dream of owning a home of their own, but feel that costs are making it impossible. Almost six out of 10 respondents (59%) are “worried I will never be able to own a home.” Most (61%) said they “feel priced out” of the current real estate market — a feeling even stronger among Millennials (69%).

“People’s sense of safety has been shattered by the pandemic and what we call the stacked crisis — pandemic, war, inflation, climate disasters, and more,” said Libby Rodney, chief strategy officer and futurist at The Harris Poll. “Crucial to reestablishing our sense of safety is housing. As humans, we are wired to nest and ground ourselves during times of uncertainty and upheaval. This data shows that not only do people feel priced out of the market, but areas that people live, especially Millennials, are so expensive that they feel barely livable.”

Notably, most respondents (62%) feel Wall Street investors are part of the reason costs are so high, a feeling even stronger among people living in cities (72%).

However, Rodney noted a finding that, on the surface, seemed contradictory: One in five people (20%) have moved to a new home since the start of the pandemic, and a fifth of Gen Z-ers (19%) and 13% of Millennials were able to buy their first homes during the pandemic, often because mortgage rates fell sharply.

Most did so because of costs — more than 60 percent said they were seeking more affordable housing or a lower cost of living. (A similar percentage said they wanted more living space, and more than a third of movers said they moved for “political reasons.”)

A deeper look, though, shows that those who moved often have buyer’s regret. Almost six in 10 (59%) said their move was unplanned, and almost half (44%) say they wish they hadn’t.

However, Americans still hope to move — almost four in 10 (39%) plan to move to a new home within three years — and they report a wide range of reasons for wanting to do so.

Cost is the biggest concern: More than six out of 10 homeowners and renters say their housing costs have increased since the pandemic — and more than a quarter (28%) say those costs have increased tremendously. Almost half (47%) of respondents say their current area “has become so unaffordable it’s barely livable.”

But costs cut both ways — seven in 10 (71%) are holding off because of concerns over economic uncertainty, like interest rates, inflation or a recession.

Americans are seeking broader pastures (away from the cities)

When they do move, though, Americans are poised to shift the population of the country.

Working remotely has changed how people see the real estate market. Three-quarters (77%) of those who plan to move within three years say working remotely has expanded their options.

That has more people likely to consider suburbs (64%) and rural areas (57%) than big cities (44%) as their destination. Younger generations are more likely to make that move: More than half of Gen Z-ers and Millennials would move to suburbs and rural areas, compared to about 45% of Gen X-ers and a third of Boomers.

In fact, the poll shows that Americans are re-examining their relationship with cities.

Almost seven in 10 (69%) disagree with the statement that “you have to live in the city to be successful in life.” Almost two-thirds (64%) of those planning to move say it’s scary to live in a big city, because of threats like pandemics or war.

Many Americans are willing to go even farther than the suburbs: Six out of 10 (60%) would consider moving to another state, and almost four in 10 (39%) would move to another country.

Their main reasons for moving closely resemble the thinking of those who moved during the pandemic: seeking more affordable housing (72%), lower cost of living (67%), safety (66%), and increased living space (66%). And again, 34% would move for “political reasons.”

They’re also considering anything they can do to make housing affordable — more than half (55%) say they can’t afford to live without a roommate, and more than a quarter (28%) have considered renting out their homes temporarily to make money.

In all, Rodney said, The Harris Poll for Thought Leadership survey shows Americans struggling to resolve a housing dilemma.

“One trend we are watching closely after looking through this data is how migration patterns in the U.S. will continue to play out as people prioritize suburban and rural living over cities,” she said. “Americans might be questioning if the cost of living in a city is worth it, especially when many have figured out how to create opportunities and success for themselves in the last two-and-a-half years virtually.”
