Kim Goldman Can't Forgive

Don’t tell her she needs to find closure. Don’t ask her to forgive and forget. When Kim was just 22, her older brother, Ron Goldman, was brutally killed by O.J. Simpson. Ron and Kim were very close, and her devastation was compounded by the shocking not guilty verdict that allowed a smirking Simpson to leave as a free man. It wasn't Kim’s first trauma. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she and Ron were raised by their father. Her mother kidnapped her, telling her that her father didn’t love her any more. When she was 14, she was almost blinded from severe battery acid burns on her face during an automobile accident, requiring three reconstructive surgeries. But none of these early traumas compared to the loss of her brother, the painful knowledge that his killer was free, and fact that she could not even grieve privately – her grief was made painfully public. Counseled by friends, strangers and even Oprah to “find closure,” Kim chose a different route. She chose to fight. Repeatedly, Kim and her family pursued Simpson by every legal means. Foiled over and over again, they ultimately achieved a small measure of justice. Kim’s story is one of tragedy, but also of humanity and, often, comedy. Living life as one of America’s most famous “victims” isn’t always easy, especially as a single mother in the dating market. She often had bizarre first date experiences, with one man even breaking down into tears and inconsolable with grief after realizing who she was. Ultimately Kim’s story is that of an ordinary person thrown into extraordinary circumstances at a very young age, and who had the courage – despite the discouragement of so many – to ignore the conventional wisdom and never give up her fight for justice. 1) Kim’s letter to Simpson in jail, attempting to meet with and talk to the killer behind bars. Kim’s motivation for writing the letter and setting up a meeting with Simpson. 2) Kim’s private and revealing conversation with Simpson’s attorney, Yale Galanter, and the compromising terms Galanter set forth as part of their agreement to meet the killer in jail. 3) Kim suffered first, second and third degree acid burns on her face, neck and eyes from a car accident with a drunk driver when she was 13 years old, leaving her with massive scars. Her brother Ron pulled her from the wreckage. The impact that event had on her confidence and self-image at such a young age. 3) Kim’s father’s cancer and his identifiable mustache. When Kim was a toddler, her father went through chemotherapy losing his hair, most notably his mustache. That mustache now symbolizes to Kim that Fred is “cancer free”. 4) Kim’s kidnapping. Telling her children that their father didn’t want them, Kim’s birth mother kidnapped Kim and Ron away from their father when they were 4 and 7, keeping them for a few days until Fred was able to obtain an order from the court to get his children back. 5) Killer in the parking lot. Kim contemplated running Simpson down in a parking lot as she saw him one day, alone, vulnerable, standing before her car. 6) Challenges of balancing public and private life. Pursuing justice in the country’s most famous case while raising a child as a single parent, earn a living, and advocate for victims’ rights, has been challenging. 7) Closure, forgiveness and the healing process. Kim’s perspective on these topics is different from many others. She hates the word “closure” and certainly can’t forgive someone for murdering her brother in cold blood. For Kim, healing means fighting and forging ahead in a world she knows will never be the same without her loved one.

Word Doodling

The act of word doodling is nothing more than tossing thought onto paper without going back to erase. Just set the stuff free. Who cares how your perfection habits have destroyed your path! Who cares about what others may or might think! If God put you on this planet to please everyone... then you wouldn't be anything but sad. Your gift is that imagination. There are no rules except... if what you write offers injury to someone... get rid of it quickly. Those dark moments will come and go. But the act of word doodling will introduce you to a self that has always been there. This stuff will make you laugh, learn and live.

Rick Springfield

Simon & Schuster’s Touchtone imprint will publish Springfield’s fiction debut, MAGNIFICENT VIBRATION. Already receiving rave reviews, Booklist says, “Captivating, poignant, and hilarious, MAGNIFICENT VIBRATION proves that some of the most interesting stories can come from pretty unlikely places.” The deeply meaningful and over-the-top novel features a hero who has hit a dead end in his life but who serendipitously receives an 800 connection to God via an inscription in a mysterious self-help book and who just may have a shot at saving the planet. "The only good grades I ever got in school before I was kicked out were for creative writing,” says Springfield. “I thought that fiction might be in my future but then my career took a different path once the Beatles showed me what a blast being in a band could be. Writing my memoir reminded me how much I love the craft. So I decided to give fiction a shot again. MAGNIFICENT VIBRATION is the result. I’m still not quite sure where it came from, but once I got going, it practically wrote itself. I’ve heard writers I admire speak of that phenomenon, so maybe I’m on the right track.” Springfield’s autobiography, Late, Late at Night (Touchstone 2010) entered The New York Times best-seller list at No. 13 while also landing on the Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly top-sellers lists. Rolling Stone named it one of the top-25 rock memoirs of all time. In Late, Late At Night, which Springfield wrote entirely himself, Rick speaks frankly about the depression he’s battled throughout his life. “I’m not the shiny, happy guy people think I am. I suppose they confuse who I really am with my stage persona,” says Springfield. “But good can come from hardship. Depression causes me to over-analyze events in my life, and that’s actually a bonus when it comes to songwriting. Hey, if things had gone my way at the time and I’d gotten laid, Jessie’s Girl would never have been written.” In 2013, Springfield teamed up with Dave Grohl on Grohl’s multi-faceted passion project, Sound City, which encompassed a documentary (Sound City), an album (Sound City: Real to Reel), and the Sound City Players tour, a string of critically acclaimed shows with fellow documentary subjects including Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor, John Fogerty, and Lee Ving among others. The Foo Fighters served as backing band for Rick’s set with Dave Grohl’s notable declarations during the performances as, "I want to be Rick Springfield!" and “Bucket list. Check!" CraveOnline called Sound City: Real to Reel “a powerhouse collection of some of the greatest musical talent ever ass1embled.” Springfield and Grohl co-wrote The Man That Never Was, which was inspired by a true story from World War II. “Writ7ing music can be a solo endeavor but at its heart, rock is collaborative. Working with Dave and the Foo Fighters was collaboration at its best. Those guys are true musicians: creative, spontaneous, generous, and talented. Working with them was a great experience.” The Man That Never Was has been widely recognized by critics as one of the best songs on the Sound City soundtrack. “The highlights… are led by Stevie Nicks and, yes, Rick Springfield.” (People) Springfield has also been hailed for his part in the documentary: “The film's breakout story is arguably Rick Springfield.” (Rolling Stone) The Sound City: Real to Reel CD also won the 2014 Grammy® for Best Compilation Soundtrack. In October 2012, Springfield released, Songs for the End of the World, his 17th studio recording and collaboration with songwriter Matt Bissonette. Songs for the End of the World addresses the need to be consoled and cherished in an age of anxiety about the future of the planet. Filled with personal lyrics and giant hooks, it’s a pop/rock tour de force. “It's high energy,” Rick explains about the album’s mix of moods. “At its core, it’s about looking for love and solace while the world around us—everything we once felt sure about—disintegrates. Even with the end so palpably imminent, we’re still human beings, filled with longing and—maybe against all odds—hope. I believe music is healing,” says Springfield. The Tampa Bay Times said, “Springfield remains one of the best live entertainers of his generation -- maybe the top dog -- so if he wants to explore darker closets on studio albums, I'm not going to discourage him one bit. Especially when the result is a project I enjoy as much as this one.” Also in 2012, an independently produced documentary titled An Affair of the Heart captured the relationship between Rick Springfield and his loyal fanbase. The documentary debuted at numerous film festivals, winning special jury awards at the Nashville, Florida, Boston, and Daytona Film Festivals. An Affair of the Heart premiered to record numbers on the EPIX channel in May 2013 and is now available on DVD. In the early ’70s, Springfield had a handful of hit records in his native Australia before emigrating to the United States. Bouncing between record labels and looking to make ends meet until his musical career took hold in the US, he resorted to acting and eventually landing the role of Dr. Noah Drake during the heyday and cult phenomenon of daytime TV’s General Hospital. Simultaneously, the explosive success of his breakthrough 1981 album Working Class Dog was followed by Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet, Living in Oz, Hard to Hold soundtrack and Tao, establishing Springfield as a multi-platinum superstar. Despite his original and unwavering passion for music, many at the time mistook Springfield for a soap star hoping to convert daytime success to a faux and possibly fleeting music career. History proves that nothing could have been further from the truth. Springfield is content to let his music and four decades of productivity speak for itself. “If you pay attention to where I’ve put my time, who I really am becomes clear.” In addition to General Hospital, Rick’s other notable TV roles include a 4-episode arc on Californication, Hawaii Five-O, Drop Dead Diva, Hot In Cleveland and the 1994-1997 TV series High Tide. Springfield’s current musical career renaissance can be traced back to the albums Shock/Denial/Anger/Acceptance (2004) and Venus in Overdrive (Ume, 2008), which entered the Billboard sales charts at No. 28, his highest debut in 20 years. In 2005, Sony Legacy’s released the retrospective double CD Written in Rock: The Rick Springfield Anthology. Official web site: http://www.rickspringfield.com/

Ben and Julianna Zobrist Double Play

BEN ZOBRIST AND HIS BOOK DOUBLE PLAY TAMPA BAY RAYS ALL-STAR MLB BASEBALL PLAYER BEN ZOBRIST AND POP MUSIC ARTIST/WIFE JULIANNA ZOBRIST TO RELEASE AUTOBIOGRAPHY All-Star MLB baseball player Ben Zobrist (Tampa Bay Rays) and pop artist wife Julianna Zobrist are gearing up for the release of their highly-anticipated autobiography Double Play. Co-written with best-selling author Mike Yorkey (Linspired: The Remarkable Rise of Jeremy Lin), Double Play will publish nationwide on April 1, 2014 through B&H Publishing Group, prior to the 2014 MLB season. Double Play is an autobiography that gives fans a remarkable look into the hearts of an athlete and artist whose talents and devotion to each other, their faith and family make them one of the most respected figures in Major League Baseball and pop music today. Their latest project offers practical insight, encouragement and stories of life and love that both men and women will find inspiration through, to live their lives to the fullest potential, while providing a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of this powerful couple. The book features 16 chapters with split narratives between Ben and Julianna, giving readers a candid perspective from each author. From childhood through adulthood, the Zobrists share poignant accounts of life events as they talk about the obstacles faced along the road and the journey that has led them to where they are today. During the off-season, the Zobrists are dynamic speakers who share about marriage, relationships, baseball and their faith, affecting the lives of others in a powerful way. That impact is seen on the playing field as well, as Sports Illustrated recently named Ben as "one of the most valuable players in baseball," due to his flexibility and his combination of skills. But, Zobrist sees his purpose for life far beyond baseball or the world’s recognition. "Double Play is raw and honest," says Ben. "(It shares) an honesty that will hopefully spur us all on to seeking out the truth which has absolutely nothing to do with our merit or deeds.” A recognized pop music artist who is actively involved in film and radio, Julianna shares her husband’s passion for being a testament and witness to others. Exemplified by her current album Say It Now, the title cut encourages others to speak up and live boldly – the music that her husband uses during every MLB game as his walk-up song at home plate. Coinciding with the release of Double Play, Julianna is currently in the studio recording her third project, working with top producers in Los Angeles and Nashville. Through Julianna’s heartfelt music, she continually touches the heart with her personal lyrics that stem from her love for Ben, her commitment to her family and her passion to share hope and a message of faith and life with a world in need. “I want to live a life that shows my daughter how to love her husband like they are newlyweds forever and a life that seizes the crazy moments and makes them fun,” says Julianna. “I want to live a life that shows my children and others watching, how to live fully…not simply how to be balanced.” In addition to the baseball world, Ben and Julianna often speak and perform at festivals, churches and schools throughout the year. Their impact on those they speak to and the many that they regularly pour their lives out to gives them the drive and motivation to reach out in as many ways as they can. “How we were brought together as two pastor’s kids from the nation’s heartland to form a double-play combination, is a unique story that we love to share,” says Ben. “Now we’re teaming up in Double Play to share our journey.” The Zobrists live in Tennessee for four months out of the year during the baseball off-season; Port Charlotte, Fla. for a month and a half during spring training; and then in Tampa Bay for the regular season. Out of the six baseball months, they are on the road for half of them. As parents to two young children, the Zobrists know that their lifestyle involves sacrifices, but they are also willing to make those sacrifices to be together as a family as much as possible. They know where their commitment lies. Double Play is a powerful and vulnerable account of the heart. “You may be entertained sometimes, hopefully encouraged and perhaps challenged even,” says Julianna.

Dee Wallace

Motivation can sometimes be the most misunderstood path. It's not that we don't know what it means. We just haven't figured out how to use the energy it generates. It becomes too easy to move back into those old pair of slippers. Some people ready novels and autobiographies. Others feast on the colorful curves of comics and fantasy. I've always loved books of motivation. To take what's being offered. And put air in its tires. To try out the spin in the wheels. To twist of the soul. The bend in the knees. Then put it outside this shell. As if to be giving away a slice of hot fresh southern style pecan pie. Dee Wallace is a blast! Instead of racing into the pages expecting an instant change. Spend every day discovering incredible things about yourself. The energy is mind blowing. The excitement of feeling great about tomorrow is worth reaching for. No matter where you travel. Vampires will suck the life right out of your dreams. Dee Wallace makes being you. Adventurous! More importantly...accepted by the mind body and soul that brought you to the dance. You... Thirty years ago, Dee Wallace, a gifted young actress from the wilds of Kansas, dropped into Hollywood with hopeful expectations. Two years later she landed the role of a lifetime and walked onto a soundstage knowing that playing Mary, the smart, funny young mother of Michael, Elliott and Gertie, was going to change her life. Born into a loving but impoverished family, Deanna Bowers was the bright, beautiful peacemaker of an alcoholic father and a mother who put aside her own dreams in order to support her husband and maintain a happy, stable home. Like so many others who will relate to her childhood, Dee grew up under the push-pull pressure of wanting to perform and make her father proud - and happy enough not to drink - and at the same time remaining quiet and sweet so as not to give family anger a reason to surface. With welcome clarity and honesty and without a trace of self-pity, she writes about these experiences as she was growing up, including her father's tragic suicide, and then shows how, until examined and reconciled, they kept cropping up again and again in her personal and professional life. Even readers whose early lives were less dramatic and ultimately less tragic will be guided to recognize these same self-destructive patterns, and cheered to know their own bright lights, once uncovered and freed from fear, still burn. Indeed, even with the unprecedented critical and popular success of “E.T.” and stellar reviews of her performance in it, the next years did not bring the expected acclaim and financial security. Rather, they brought her the opportunity to leave fear behind as she somehow lived through the loss of her soul-mate, the knowledge of perfect love as she welcomed her long-awaited and only child, and the time to look at the life she had created and the ability to re-connect with her inner light and begin to create something new: herself. It wasn't the red carpet life she had expected, but it was so much better. Wallace has never stopped working in film, television and stage, and has more than 130 films and scores of television roles and series to her credit. She is currently among a handful of in-demand actresses for guest starring roles in TV drama. Her irresistible presence on speaking forums and two top internet radio shows have made her a sought-after inspirational speaker, spiritual teacher and healer. Dee is a true tour de force, working with every kind of co-star from Cujo to Lassie, as well as countless directors, producers and some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Peter Jackson, Wes Craven, Joe Dante, Stephen King and Blake Edwards. Ms. Wallace became an icon in the role that would define motherhood for a generation, as Mary in Stephen Speilberg's ET: The Extraterrestrial. Her 150 films range from some of the scariest to some of the funniest ever made, including Cujo, The Howling, 10, The Frighteners and Critters. She has starred in four television series and more than 400 commercials and is one of Hollywood's most sought-after TV guest stars including appearances in Grey's Anatomy; Cold Case; Without a Trace; Ghost Whisperer; My Name is Earl; Criminal Minds, Saving Grace, Law and Order, and The Office. A beloved acting coach, she is also an internationally known healer, with two global radio shows and a series of healing seminars. Her insight into the joy of “conscious creation” was one of the reasons she was led to share her knowing with a larger audience through Bright Light. In her recently released third book Bright Light (O-Books), she takes readers along on Wallace's emotional, spiritual and professional journey but even as we cheer for her triumphs and grieve for her unbearable losses, she doesn't allow us to sit on the sidelines as merely an audience to her life. Rather she uses her journey as a metaphor for always expanding the lessons she experienced in her own life to a larger wisdom valuable for all of us. Her gifted writing is inclusive, reaching out to connect with readers as with unflinching honesty she takes responsibility for the manifestation of pain and disappointments in her life, as well as the creation of love and happiness for its joys and successes. And she beckons her readers, who almost imperceptibly recognize their own journey, to learn from the spiritual lessons, which are the focus of each chapter.
