Laurie Markvart presents Somewhere in the Music, I’ll Find Me
Musician Laurie Markvart was adrift in life. In the wake of the deaths of her father and preemie baby, her family life was in anguish, and her music career stalled.
Music was the remedy for anything in Laurie’s life. Looking for a quick fix, she attended an open audition in Los Angeles for the X-Factor reality TV singing show. During the demanding two-day audition, Laurie reflected on her lifelong music journey.
As a teen, she fled her isolated Wisconsin farm town for the famous music scenes of Minneapolis, Austin, and New York City. In rock bands, on tours, and with Broadway auditions, Laurie had many highs and lows, successes and failures – some humorous, some dangerous. At the center of it all was a stormy relationship with her mentally ill mother and Laurie’s growing anxiety disorder that plagued her most. The despair she thought would be extinguished with marriage and parenting, was for a time, but it shattered with the profound loss of her father and baby.
With mounting pressure to succeed at the X-Factor audition, Laurie must push through her anxieties and heartbreaking reflections and not only find herself in the music but a way to move forward and heal.
Kenneth R. Strange Jr. presents It’s Your Camino: One Couple’s 500 Mile Pilgrimage Across Spain
The Camino de Santiago is both quest and pilgrimage, goal and process. It is not a journey for the faint of heart or the soft of foot. People embark on the five-hundred mile, thirty-one day trek from the Pyrenees Mountains in France to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain for all sorts of reasons–religious, spiritual, physical, and personal. For author Kenneth R. Strange Jr. and his wife, Aurora, walking the Camino is about adventure and a lifelong love of Spain, both of which shine through in the Award-winning It’s Your Camino.
