A man’s life cannot be justly written or adequately shared, not because language falls short – rather, because a man’s life is a subjective experience. Two identical situations can cause excitement in one or fear in another based on the accumulation of their influences.

How can a mere book sufficiently express the emotions and evolution of a human? At best, polaroids and captions afford us flickering glimpses into a heart and soul. In I’ll Fix My Head Before I’m Dead, Dean Roberts (Season 1, Episode 147) takes the reader by the hand and guides him through the nostalgic meandering of Memory Lane. With wistful overtones and a stream of consciousness uninterrupted by punctuation, you cannot help but fall into rhythm with Roberts’ thoughts as he reflects on a life lived to its fullest.

Roberts offers an open invitation to relive some of his most vulnerable moments and never fails to cap each story with a moral he gleaned from it. He imparts decades of wisdom, using simple sentences to convey simple but elusive truths.

I’ll Fix My Head Before I’m Dead weaves together uncensored journal entries from times and places long ago and far away, with a narrative of hard-earned maturity. Roberts uses brushstrokes of humor and frames his experiences with lilting introspection.

In Sensual Voices, Andrea Hylen (Season 1, Episode 144) has gathered twelve women from Sweden and eight women from the United States in a secret Facebook group and on community phone calls stoking the fire to stir up the burning embers of desire, connection and sensuality hidden within their souls. They explored universal experiences of a woman’s body: Menstruation. Childbirth. Menopause. Sexual Desire. They discussed body sensations of sensuality, power, grief, abandonment, trauma life and death with courage and vulnerability.

Their experiences included deep listening, a willingness to write their personal stories and at the end of the process, clarity around the next step in leadership.

They invite you to open yourself to a new perspective as you read the stories and ask yourself some questions.

• What if we could spread Universal Love by donating energy, money and time to empower women and girls?
• What if women supported each other with parenting tips instead of judging and comparing and competing to be the best parent with the best child?
• What if we opened to the anomalies in life by accepting our unique differences and stopped trying to be carbon copies of each other?
• What if we accepted that relationships could be monogamous, open, dynamic, hetero, homo, bi and we supported each other to love who we love?
• What if we shared our vulnerability, wisdom, and claimed our personal power and inner authority?
• What if we put our ideas together and changed the things that aren’t working on the planet, finding new solutions and building the future together?
• What if we allowed ourselves to feel everything and to notice it without making anyone else right or wrong?

As you read the stories in this book, they invite you to listen for your own questions and answers. Close your eyes. Connect with your heart. And randomly open to a story. Go now. Enter the pages and be open to the mystery of what will unfold. Your Voice Matters.
