TGIF June 29, 2007!

TGI Friday! I have uploaded a new show to my podcast this week.

Author Pierette Simpson joins Rosi Stewart today on Writers in the Sky to discuss her book Alive on the Andrea Doria! The Greatest Sea Rescue in History.

In 1956, Piera Domenica Burzio and her grandparents left their village of Pranzalito, near Torino in Italy, to begin a new life in America. They made their journey on the last voyage of the Andrea Doria. Pierette and her grandparents survived the collision, when the Swedish liner Stockholm rammed the Italian luxury liner.

The family settled in Detroit, Michigan, where Pierette attended Wayne State University. She received a liberal arts degree, with a teaching certificate in French, Spanish, and Social Studies. She continued her education by doing graduate work in Paris and Angers, France.

Pierette continued to pursue her love of foreign languages by teaching high school French and Spanish in the Farmington Public Schools, near Detroit. In the course of her twenty-six-year teaching career, she was recognized as Michigan Foreign Language Teacher of the Year (1994-95) by the Michigan Foreign Language Association. Upon her retirement, she was inducted into the Farmington Teachers' Hall of Fame.

For many years, Pierette played the violin and performed with several local symphony orchestras and chamber groups. She also has traveled extensively to foreign lands, with an annual trek to Italy, where half of her family resides.

Pierette now teaches pre-kindergarten and kindergarten French part-time in a private school.

The rest of her time is devoted to her books: ALIVE ON THE ANDREA DORIA! and L'ULTIMA NOTTE DELL'ANDREA DORIA (The Last Night of the Andrea Doria). Pierette is the first survivor to publish a book about this historic collision, sea rescue and sinking of this event. She hopes to continue the Andrea Doria legacy by becoming the gatekeeper of Doria survivor stories for historical documentation.

The author has been featured on American and Italian documentaries and newsmagazine programs inspired by her books. She is interviewed frequently on radio, the Internet, and for periodicals. Currently, Pierette publishes articles in various American and Italian journals. Her strong loyalty to and pride in her Italian roots are evident in an interview for Le Pagine del Piemonte ("Pages of the Piedmont"): "[Writing the book] has brought me to the heights of ethnic pride. The main reason is that my book corrects a historical injustice against my people. So, I'm proud . . . because I now know that we Italians participated in the greatest sea rescue with courage and competence."

Light Language Emerging ~ Activating Ascension Codes & Integrating Body, Soul, and Spirit

Light is the language of the creator. When spoken verbally, light language can create, bring a message, blessing, or healing as a response to a request a soul has made. Old thoughts, beliefs, and behavior patterns are housed in the subconscious and our DNA. Our DNA also holds light codes of the original Adam (perfect divine human). When activated, these codes can override and reprogram old beliefs and patterns that keep the body, mind, and emotions sick and in disrepair. Learn how light language can help activate these codes.

The genealogy of the Bates family of Cherokee County, Georgia is traced back to Charlton Bates and Nancy Kelly (O'Kelly) Bates, who are first mentioned living in South Carolina in 1812. Through DNA testing, we know that our family has a ancestor blood-related to James Shockley Bates.
