Aside from a few tech blips and bumps, this show went even more smoothly than the last one…with our new virtual studio!

Venus DeMarco, speaker and author of the book, “The Healing Journey of My Bodacious Ta Ta’s,” came BACK onto the show to talk about her healing journey from breast cancer, naturally, and her message of hope.  Venus discussed what she did to overcome breast cancer without going down the mainstream route of surgery, radiation, and chemo, as well as what she is doing now to prevent the return of cancer, as well as getting beyond fear in the face of the diagnosis of cancer.  You can find out more about Venus, her book, her speaking engagements, and more by going to:  http://venusdemarco.org.  You can also purchase Venus’ book at:  http://www.amazon.com/The-Healing-Journey-Bodacious-Tas/dp/1477274669/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392063965&sr=8-1&keywords=venus+demarco      AND at:  http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/venus-demarco?store=allproducts&keyword=venus+demarco.

World Champion Sand Sculpture Artist, Lucinda Wierenga, joined us along with her friend, Ken, from South Padre Island, TX, to talk about the world’s largest sand structure, which they were both part of creating!  This sand structure is in Kuwait.  70 artists took part in building this structure, which depicts the stories of “The Arabian Nights.”  Lucinda was there for 6 weeks to help build this structure, which is now the back drop for the Remal International Festival in Remal, Kuwait.  You can check out the beautiful pictures of this structure and read more about this structure and this festival here:  http://248am.com/events/remal-sand-sculpting-festival/.

Lucinda also teaches various types of classes for building sand castles (for example, grandparents and grandchildren building structures together during spring break, cocktails and sandcastles for adults, and more..) on South Padre Island.  Lucinda also builds “Will You Marry Me?” sand castles!  You can find out more about Lucinda’s classes and services, as well as view pictures of Lucinda’s castles and of the Sand Castle Walk on SPI, right here:  http://sandyfeet.com.
