Even shark attack victims have to get back in the saddle

Promising Surfer, Shark-Attack Victim and Bestselling Christian Author Details Her Return to the Water in New Documentary From Walking On Water Films

 

'Heart of a Soul Surfer' Set to Premiere in Southern California on Feb. 9; Trailer Available at WalkingOnWater.com

 

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 31, 2007 -- Bethany Hamilton, a 13-year-old girl poised to have a successful surfing career, lost her arm to a 14-foot tiger shark on Oct. 31, 2003.

 

Yet the attack didn't stop the determined Soul Surfer from giving up and turning her back on surfing. Instead, the attack compelled her to discover her purpose in life as she overcame the loss of her arm and began riding waves just three weeks later.

 

The documentary "Heart of a Soul Surfer" - which is being released by the San Diego-based Christian surf film company Walking On Water - features exclusive footage of Hamilton surfing and with her family both before and after the attack, including Hamilton's first attempts at surfing with one arm and winning the 2005 NSSA National Surfing Championship just 19 months after the attack.

 

The documentary is a powerful story told from the heart of a young woman with great passion and dedication to God, said Mike Doyle, Walking On Water's director of outreach. The documentary, he said, digs deep into the heart of Hamilton's abiding faith in God, and tackles difficult questions such as, "Why does God allow bad things to happen in our lives?"

 

Since her attack, Hamilton has become an international celebrity and appeared on national news shows such as Oprah and The Today Show. She has also authored a bestselling book, "Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board."

 

"Bethany is really an inspiration to anyone who's facing adversity or questioning the power of faith in their lives," Doyle said. "She's basically taken an event that could've easily ruined someone and used her faith and strong spirit to grow from it and help others."

 

Hamilton will be in Southern California from Feb. 9 to 11

for special guest appearances at the premieres of her new

documentary:

MEA Digital Launches Redesigned Website for Freedom Writers Foundation in Wake of Blockbuster Movie Release

San Diego, CA (PRWeb) January 31, 2007 -- MEA Digital, http://www.meadigital.com, an interactive marketing strategy and services firm, today announced the launch of FreedomWritersFoundation.org, a website dedicated to promoting acceptance and innovative teaching methods in classrooms across the country. The launch coincides with the release of the major motion picture Freedom Writers, starring Hillary Swank, which tells the true story of heroism, humanity, and triumph on the big screen.

"This redesign was unique in that our strategy had very little to do with traditional marketing goals such as re-branding or increasing sales," said David Herscott, President of MEA Digital. "Our main objective was to inspire. From design to imagery to copy this website had to be authentic. When the Broadway lights dim it will be the single destination where users can read about the heartwarming story of the Freedom Writers and how Erin Gruwell's teaching methods can impact a school and community for the better."

In the coming months, according to Herscott, you can expect to see more rich content, additional resources for teachers, and maybe most impressive, Freedom Writers Central - an interactive hangout for kids where social networking will play a central role.

Inspired by Room 203, where the ideals of the Freedom Writers were born, Freedom Writers Central will be exclusive to students and allow them to interact with one another. "It has the potential to be something truly special," added Herscott. "They'll be able to discuss anything from the pangs of long homework assignments to dreams of a better life."

About The Freedom Writers Foundation
Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writers established the Freedom Writers Foundation in 1997. Since then, she has shared her teaching methods with educators in an effort to replicate the Freedom Writers' success in classrooms across the country. The Foundation has encouraged, inspired, and motivated thousands of teachers and students with the same methods Erin used with the Freedom Writers in Room 203. The Foundation trains teachers and provides scholarships for deserving students with a key metric as a clear indicator of success - the reduction of high school drop-out rates. This epidemic is recognized by government leaders, major foundations, and educational institutions. Using the Freedom Writers Method, the Foundation is actively addressing the situation with proven results in cities across the country. Erin's students graduated from high school and more students at schools throughout the country are graduating in higher numbers due to the innovative teaching methods taught at the Freedom Writers Institute.

New Land Music Inks Exclusive Distribution Deal With Recording Artist Tina Malia

Calabasas, CA (PRWeb) February 1, 2007 -- New Land Music is proud to announce they have signed a two-year distribution deal with multi talented Amida Records recording artist Tina Malia for her newest release The Silent Awakening. The San Francisco Bay area singer/songwriter was an obvious choice for New Land Music as they embark on new distribution projects after acquiring Backroads Music, a leading Independent music distributor, late last year.

"Lloyd Barde introduced Tina and her music to us all at New Land Music in September 0f 2006. We instantly recognized her as a singer songwriter of quality. Her vocals are quite simply wonderful. Tina is a graceful and beautiful young woman that embodies our mantra 'good music from good citizens.' We are honored to be working with such a refreshing talent." - Kelvyn Evans, CEO New Land Music

A trained classical pianist, Malia earned her position in the pantheon of major music artists with her 2001 debut album Shores of Avalon, a creation of original material and multidimensional soundscapes that earned her rave reviews. In 2005 she released Jaya Bhagavan, a landmark and innovative collection of Sanskrit chants that smoothly transitions Malia's instrumental abilities.

Malia's most comprehensive release to date, The Silent Awakening, is an inspirational and enchanting work of original material that captures emotional sensibilities with her multi-faceted voice and classical ambience.

"I am excited about the prospect of a new company with a fresh start and fresh look on the music business. Because they are artists themselves, they genuinely are interested in the idea of the artist and distributor working together." - Tina Malia

New Land Music, an independent record label, prides itself on launching artists whose talents set them among the high ranks of independent music. New Land Music is also at the vanguard of identifying and developing new artists and new music genres, which is evident by its leading role and commitment to the unparalleled success of their artists. While the musical goals of Backroads Music and New Land Music will overlap synergistically in some areas, they will remain separate artistic entities.

The company's partners are seasoned executives and musicians that bring decades of experience in the music industry. Their insight and innovation will provide backbone to bring multi-genre of talent to the consumer. New Land Music includes veterans, Adam Werner, Founder & President (renowned guitarist), Kelvyn Evans, CEO (22 years marketing and business development & accomplished musician), Will Ackerman, Executive Vice President (founder of Windham Hill, Grammy Award winning musician, and Gold/Platinum record producer) and Giulio Proietto, Senior Vice President & CFO (over 16 years in the music industry including Sr. VP Finance and Business Affairs for Private Music, Windham Hill Group and VP Finance for EMI Music Distribution).

How to inspire despair in others!

An Outspoken Author Unleashes A 'Ruthless' Second Book, With No Hope of Inspiring Others

Speaker and consultant Aaron McNaught, author of 'Ruthless Words: Unsentimental Quotations From The World's Wisdom Sources', offers contrary points of view as an alternative to the 'Chicken Soup' mentality.

Red Deer, Alberta (PRWeb) January 29, 2007 -- When Aaron McNaught, author of the new book 'Ruthless Words: Unsentimental Quotations From The World's Wisdom Sources', set out to discover the source of his own suffering almost 16 years ago, he found that true life exploration has little to do with feel-good stories, pleasantries and nice-isms. In fact, he suggests that our answers often lay in the exact opposite direction.

While McNaught declines outright rejection of most approaches to personal and professional development, he suggests that many are laden with fluffy delusions and new-age hokiness. Says McNaught, "Many people would rather have a band aid fix that feels good, rather than hear the painful truth. We are a society that promotes illusions. The truth hurts, and disillusionment is one of the biggest precursors to healing, growth and wisdom."

Quoting sources as diverse as Albert Einstein, Oscar Wilde, Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, The Dali Lama, Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Camus, Mark Twain, Homer Simpson and numerous Eastern and Western mystics, politicians and philosophers, Ruthless Words is a compendium that pulls no punches in its commentary on society, humanity and the world.

Interspersed throughout the book are short essays written by McNaught, on topics such as beliefs, life, death, freedom and suffering, as well as his own, hard won understandings and perspectives.

McNaught claims that in his explorations, many of the great teachers and lessons he has encountered had a decidedly harsh, uncompromising and ruthless flavor to them. Says McNaught, "The Chicken Soup For The Soul phenomenon says very little about deep wisdom or reality. Mass consumption does not equal profundity, and while comfort and consolation are at times desirable, they are seldom transformative and often detrimental. I put this book together to address those views and have found it incredibly well received."

'Ruthless Words: Unsentimental Quotations From The World's Wisdom Sources.' (Jan 2007 * Self-Help* ISBN 0-9781324-1-6) is available through the author's website: http://www.wakinguptolife.com

About the author:
Aaron McNaught is the owner of Aaron McNaught Education/Consultations, an Alberta based business providing seminars, workshops and consultations to individuals and businesses interested in going far beyond average personal and professional development.

Aaron lives in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. He has also recently released, 'Waking Up to Life! The Art & Skill of Awakened Attention'.

Failure Experts Claim Rejected American Idol Contestants are More Successful than Most Americans

Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz are owners of Courage Crafters, Inc. and "failure experts" that teach individuals and organizations how to be more successful by increasing their failure rate. And that, says the pair, is why even rejected Idol contestants are a step ahead of most Americans. "At least they're out there giving it a shot, talent or not, while most people are simply watching from the sidelines."

Vancouver, WA (PRWeb) January 30, 2007 -- This bold statement comes from authors Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz of Courage Crafters, Inc., who travel the country delivering workshops that teach individuals and organizations how to be more successful by increasing their failure rate. And that, says the pair, is why even rejected Idol contestants are a step ahead of most Americans. "At least they're out there giving it a shot, talent or not, while most people are lying on their sofas simply watching from the sidelines."

But what about the fact that these people can't sing or dance? "Talent," says Fenton, "is highly overrated. In most cases it's the willingness to face rejection and keep going that determines the level of success you'll achieve." And Waltz agrees. "Increasing your failure rate is the single greatest success strategy a person can employ. In short, if you can fail, you can succeed!"

Idol contestant Thomas Daniels of Seattle is the perfect example of their premise. Daniels, auditioning for the third time after sleeping behind a row of dumpsters the night before, was finally sent through to the next round. "What if Thomas had quit after getting the first or second no?" Fenton is quick to ask. "He sure wouldn't be on his way to Hollywood." The pair point to the interchange between the judges during Daniels' audition. When asked by Randy why he was back for a third time, Daniels said that maybe the third time would be a charm. When Randy responded, "Or three times and you're out," Paula chided him, saying: "Randy, if we'd quit after our third NO, we wouldn't be sitting here!"

Fenton & Waltz say Paula has got it right, whether it's competing on a variety show, selling a product or starting a business. "What you see on American Idol is representative of what it takes to succeed in any area of life," says Waltz. "Failure is simply a stepping stone on the path to success."

The core of Fenton & Waltz's failure philosophy is found in their book, "Go for No! The Ultimate Strategy for Failing Your Way to Success!" available through their website http://www.GoForNo.com. To Interview Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz (The Courage Crafters) call 800-290-5028.

Hear What Caused a Woman to Stop Working with Atlantic and Roc-A-Fella Records, Def Jam and Quincy Jones

(PRWeb) January 28, 2007 -- Why would Georgia Woodbine, a woman who has worked with Quincy Jones, Roc-A-Fella, Atlantic, Def Jam and PolyGram records, leave the world of mega stars to devote her time to writing, teaching and community? What would cause her to turn her back on fortune and fame and take a completely different path? Georgia sits down with CBK's Denise Turney, host of the premiere radio program Off The Shelf, and discusses these and other pertinent topics during her exclusive one-hour interview that airs January 30 at www.blakeradio.com.

During the feature, Turney, known for her penetrating and intuitive approach, asks Georgia why she walked away from a world of mega bucks, celebrity and musical acclaim. "I was chasing my success," Georgia admits. "I attended all the major events. I worked hard." In fact, Georgia churned on all cylinders, even to the point of distancing herself from some very important personal relationships. After a certain point, Georgia tells Turney that she had to stop and look at what she was doing. It was this introspection that caused Georgia to pen the book How To Make Big Bucks Without Selling Your Soul. After Georgia became a writer, she went from chasing fortune and fame, to creating her business, Spiritual Focus Publishing in order to teach others how to make money as well as live a joyous and blessed life instead of a life of high stress and constant grind. If one didn't know better, chunks of Georgia's life seem to support the less than admirable traits Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep dress up in The Devil Wears Prada. About this Georgia is not reticent. She says that she has learned that it really is possible to be successful without losing yourself, without making sacrifices that take you away, piece by piece, from who you really are.
   
Off The Shelf's founder and host, Denise Turney, is the author of the new book Long Walk Up, a book that tells the story of a young girl's triumphant journey from abject poverty. Long Walk Up will be in stores March 2007.

To catch into the exclusive interview with Georgia Woodbine, tune into CBK's Off The Shelf (www.blakeradio.com) on January 30.
