“Dot to Dot: Creating Global Community”
with Catherine Bradford
Reconnecting our world, one ‘dot’ at a time!
I believe one achieves the truest sense of self through building a relationship with ones community; that through connection to community the truest realization of belonging in and being in this world exists. Only in the community experience is revealed that which guides our energy towards its ultimate perfection, the ability, collectively, to re-create, to re-member, re-kindle ourselves. In an effort to build community and create those connections vital to our health I will be hosting "Dot to Dot" each week. The show will create conversation which offers listeners a chance to build community. We are one, one people, one world. We are all dots scattered across the globe, eager to reconnect.

Dot to Dot presents: AdaptAbility: How to Survive Change You Didn't Ask For.
"Change is hard," we say, and it is even harder when change is thrust upon us. In today's tough times, we may be forced to reinvent our career or downsize our lives; at any point in life, we may lose a love or a dream. Our first reaction to change we didn't ask for may be to rail against fate. But what if we could see past today's turmoil and spot the opportunities that lie within unasked-for change? That is the promise of AdaptAbility, bestselling author and executive coach M. J. Ryan's paradigm-shifting new book on not merely surviving but thriving when change is required.
Why is it so hard to accept change? Paradoxically, it is for the very reason that our brains usually work so well; we are designed to learn something and make it automatic. The problem is that when circumstances change, our "efficient" brains keep trying to do things the same old way. In AdaptAbility, Ryan provides strategies to retrain your brain and optimize your response to change, step by step: by first accepting the new reality, then expanding your options, and finally, taking effective action. She offers cutting-edge tools for becoming calmer, less fearful, and more flexible, creative, and resourceful in your thinking. Best of all, as your "adapt-ability" increases, so does your confidence that you will be able to face whatever life sends your way and find new ways to flourish.
Bestselling author M. J. Ryan is one of the creators of the Random Acts of Kindness series (over one million copies in print) and the author of The Power of Patience, Attitudes of Gratitude, and This Year I Will...How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution, or Make a Dream Come True. She was the founder of Conari Press and its publisher for many years, and is now an executive and life coach with Professional Thinking Partners. She is a frequent workshop presenter and keynote speaker, and has done corporate trainings for Microsoft, Royal Dutch Shell, Frito Lay, and the Department of Defense, among others. She will launch a new training in “Change Agility” when the book appears.
M. J. is a columnist at Health magazine, a contributing editor for Good Housekeeping, and an expert on many websites about life change, including Intent.com, learnfrommylife.com, soundwiseonline.com, first30days.com, and selfgrowth.com. She is the change advisor for TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly); a weight loss support group with 200,000 members in the United States. M. J. has appeared on the “Today Show” and in the New York Times and other major media, as well as having appeared on 1,000 radio shows including public radio. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and daughter.

Dot to Dot: Creating Global Community presents:
Lucky Girl: A Memoir
Mei-Ling Hopgood is lucky. She was given away by her Chinese birth family; but with the help of a benevolent nun, and the determined persistence of Chris and Rollie Hopgood, Mei-Ling overcame the many obstacles of a private adoption—a slow, informal, and disorganized process that preceded the international adoption agencies in place today—and eventually came into loving arms and a new home that afforded her every opportunity.
Mei-Ling became a big sister, attended college, studied journalism. She felt lucky to have escaped a life of poverty in Taiwan. Then one day, her birth family made contact in The Year of the Ox—Mei-Ling’s birth year; she was 23. The phone call leads to a reunion in Taiwan, and the beginning of a physical and emotional journey full of joyful discoveries and new friendships—but also dark secrets: obsession, infidelity, and shadowy death.
Mei-Ling gradually learns to love her birth family, accepting the ironies of fate, of love and loss, and unintended consequences that compose every family. Her writing is clear and fluid and will sweep you into its powerful story. In 2009, the auspicious Year of the Ox has cycled once again—and with the publication of Lucky Girl, it’s sure to be a banner year for Mei-Ling.
“Mei-ling superbly contrasts her comfortable, American suburban life with the alternate universe of her Chinese birth family.”
“A wise, moving meditation on the meaning of family, identity and fate.”—Kirkus
“Mei-Ling Hopgood's riveting memoir traces a young woman's journey to understand the forces that shaped her life. Heartwarming and addictive, LUCKY GIRL captures the beauty-and the luck-of finding home.” —Danielle Trussoni, author of Falling Through the Earth
“Mei-Ling superbly contrasts her comfortable, American suburban life with the alternate universe of her Chinese birth family. Along an often emotionally harrowing journey, Mei-Ling struggles against cultural and language divides to discover a murky, often disturbing family history stemming from her birth father’s obsession for a son. The result is a compelling, honest and very human tale about self identity and the complex concept of family.” —Kathleen Flinn*, author of The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry
