I Am Refocused Radio

We're all looking for more - more connections, more love, more understanding. And to laugh along the way. I'm the author of several book including Narican: The Cloaked Deception, a science fiction piece about the evolution of souls, and my most recent, Love in a Dying Town is a story about a single father raising his daughter in a dying factory town, showing her right from wrong, even as the world crumbles around them, even as parts of him do as well.As a writer and as an individual I seek deeper truths that are often hidden in plain sight, or swept under society's dirty rug.I am also the host of the podcast - Den of Discussionhttps://douglasrobbinsauthor.com/

From this group, she created a cohesive and dedicated team with a strong bond to work with her to provide author services in a unique way. They share a drive to see the company— and each other—succeed, relying on God to guide their path.

In 2013, Rich began to dabble in silent prayer, a term that’s often used as synonymous with centering prayer. He had heard and read that silence can transform you. He wanted to experience this transformation too.He would force myself to sit in silence. He began to test how long He could sit there. He started with one minute and increased it to three and even four minutes. It was difficult!Silence and silent prayer are counter-cultural. They are very challenging to cultivate because everything in our culture seems to point in another direction. Yet, surprisingly, it is in silence that he has has found profound transformation. And that is the motivation for writing this book. He wants to share what he has discovered.The point of this book is to share his centering-prayer sojourn with you. His hope is that his journey will help you with your journey. Centering prayer is not a race. It is a long-term marathon. Centering prayer practiced daily, monthly, yearly will transform you. It does not replace other forms of prayer; it complements them.Centering prayer has changed his life and the way He thinks. It has been so life-giving that he cannot keep it to myself. He has to share it.https://silenceteaches.com/about-the-books/

These stories, recipes, and tips became part of my DNA after spending a life in the kitchen." ─ Andy Murray, from the introduction of EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAYThis fall, Dey Street Books is thrilled to publish EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY: A Feast of Family Fun and Favorites by Chef Andy Murray (On Sale: November 8, 2022 with a foreward by his brother Bill Murray).The Murray family loves to gather-at holidays, on the golf course-and, most of all, around the table. Manning the kitchen is Andy, who began his culinary education at four years old when his mother, Lucille, taught him how to cook bacon- "There's one rule. You never leave the room when you're making bacon because as soon as you do, it will burn."One of nine children, Andy's first job was at the age of eleven when he was hired to be a busboy at the corner restaurant. He quickly graduated to dishwasher then short-order cook before leaving the Midwest for New York for culinary training at the New York Restaurant School. Since then, he has worked in some of the biggest restaurants in the business and become known for his delicious and family-friendly meals with his popular Murray Bros.

Key Lime Pie. Pineapple Upside Down Cake. 19th Hole-signature drink at Murray Bros. Caddyshack. Bloody BullAndy's approach to cooking is bolstered by the belief that the best part of any meal is the time you spend laughing at the table. The Murrays spend a lot of time laughing and food has always been their way of showing love, though a good cocktail doesn't hurt. Also in EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY, readers get to hear some of their incredible family stories-from learning about the food favorites of his siblings, cooking side by side with his mom, and behind the scenes looks at working in the kitchen of New York's biggest culinary institutions, to never-before-told stories of Bill's legendary pranks and the family's love of golf.Full of gorgeous food photography, never-before-seen Murray family snapshots, a helpful list of kitchen must-haves, and hilarious family stories, this cookbook is like pulling a seat up at the Murray table: dig in!ABOUT ANDY MURRAYAndy Murray spent more than 25 years as a chef in high-end restaurants, including Mortimer's and Tribeca Grill.
