Manifesting with Meg: Conversations with Extraordinary People Meg Nocero

Annie is the Author of “Annie’s Song: Dandelion, Dreams & Dogs,”, Book Reviewer, Author Interviewer, Teacher, Author Consultant, and Blogger at The Write Review & Co-Owner of World of the Write Review Book Club. Annie McDonnell is one of those rare people who always look for the rainbow in the storm's wake and uses her brokenness to help others by giving her heart to innumerable causes and being candid about what she's going through in the hope that her honesty will give solace to kindred spirits. Thirsty for love, Annie breaks herself open at points only to learn the hard lesson that sometimes the love she seeks won't ever come. Your heart will warm when you see her take on life. You will laugh, cry, and be moved. In this shimmering debut-a cross-genre blend of memoir, auto-fiction, magical realism, and poetry-Annie pours out her dreams, her loves, and her hopes along with her complicated grief compounded by betrayals, medical misdiagnoses, and innumerable losses that would break most people. Her determination to live a life of love, joy, and meaning despite her great suffering shines throughout the dark themes of many of her essays and poems. Annie, who is in the end stages of Stiff Person Syndrome and has several other rare diseases, writes with raw emotion about traumas from her childhood best friend's rape and murder to her own life-altering car accident at age 19 to her decades-long odyssey through a medical system where women's symptoms are frequently dismissed, misdiagnosed, and minimized. Annie's experiential memoir, for which she's provided QR codes linking to her favorite songs throughout, allows the reader to get a hint of what it's like living suspended between this earthly existence and the afterlife. This is her love song to trauma survivors, dog lovers, and love seekers. She lives each day and night knowing that her next breath could be her last and keeps her heart focused on heaven.

SEASON 6 BEGINS! 

THEME- EMPOWERED THROUGH PURPOSE / THE BEST IS YET TO COME! 

Mike says: "I believe that the connection between the body and the mind is vital and that the only way to true happiness is bridging the gap between the two. Your health is wealth; your body and mind must work together to create prosperity. I love teaching cycling classes because something magical happens when people come together for a shared goal, release their inhibitions, and allow their bodies to move freely. The music is a catalyst for what is already stirring within us."
