Oh, how I love a wonderful story!
On wintry Oregon nights Janet Brown & Linna Thomas dreamed of opening a bookstore. In July of 1973, their dream became a reality when they opened Coalesce Bookstore in Morro Bay, California.
This week I enjoyed a wonderful chat with Linna Thomas about the history of Coalesce Bookstore, her booksellers, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
My guest author this week is Christine B. L. Adams, M.D., a child and adult psychiatrist and author of Living On Automatic: How Emotional Conditioning shapes Our Lives and Relationships. Dr. Adams is responsible for bringing to the forefront the new concept of emotional conditioning and how it creates your personality and shapes your relationships throughout your life.
