Carrots: True Confessions of a Hollywood Sex Addict, Author Dan Harary #45
Episode #45 Discover Joyous Love with Anita DeFrancesco NEW “EROTIC YET ALARMING” SEXUAL MEMOIR, CARROTS: TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A HOLLYWOOD SEX ADDICT, RELEASED BY ONE OF HOLLYWOOD’S LEADING PUBLICISTS Beverly Hills, CA, WINTER 2022 – “Dan Harary sure knows how to tell a story! His book, Carrots: True Confessions of a Hollywood Sex Addict,is a collection of stories that present the sad but truthful stories behind the relationships he has had with women, lots and lots of women, his whole life. It’s a real page-turner! His vulnerability is palpable and there are points where you don’t know if you should be laughing at him or crying with him. He shares a lifetime of unmet sexual needs and desires that led him to out-of-control sexual behaviors and a detailed sex-addiction that are both erotic yet alarming at the same time. The disconnect between his infatuation with fantasy Playboy Playmates and Supermodel types and the reality of finding a true loving, caring life-partner, is heartbreaking. But, if you’re like me, you’ll find yourself rooting for him the whole way through this truly unique and highly compelling memoir!” – Carol Hunt, Co-host of The Sexy Lifestyle Podcast, Montreal, Canada --- During Summer, 1979, when he was 23 and living in Long Branch, New Jersey, a few blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, author Dan Harary found a sign on the boardwalk that read “Spiritual Advisor.” Having never encountered such a place before, and on a whim, he entered. A heavy-set, middle-aged woman stared at him for an uncomfortably long minute, then spoke firmly: “Many women are attracted to you,” she declared. “But something GOES WRONG with EACH ONE you meet.” Leaning closer into him, she added, “The women you desire somehow elude you—they remain just beyond your reach.” Her words were so completely accurate, Harary almost fell off his chair. How could this total stranger know his entire life story? He’d just walked into her shop at random. For all these many years since, he’s been wondering why he didn’t ask her the cause behind the very peculiar fact that the women he most desired (since early childhood) constantly seemed to elude him? As Harary explains, “CARROTS is about the many, many women I’ve loved and lost, wanted to love but couldn’t for various strange reasons, or was never able to love at all. In the book, I also talk about 25-year-long, undiagnosed depression, my troubled marriage, my 20-year-long struggle with sex addiction, and what I have become convinced is a Past Life Curse that was unfortunately bestowed upon me at birth.” To read more about Dan Harary, please visit: https://www.danhararyauthor.com/ The new book, published by Orlando, Florida-based Bear Manor Media, can be purchased via Amazon here:  https://www.amazon.com/Carrots-True-Confessions-Hollywood-Addict/dp/1629339660/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FD5IM33L6RWO&keywords=Carrots+dan+harary&qid=1668043268&sprefix=carrots+dan+harary%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1

True Crime: The Donna Gentile Story

True Crime: The Donna Gentile Story
Discover Joyous Love Host Anita DeFrancesco Talks about her True Crime book she authored on a first cousin murdered 1985. Episode #34 When Donna Gentile, escaped from a home for delinquent girls and  made her way to San Diego she had big dreams. She worked in security  for a while and even dreamed of joining the police department. But  things didn’t work out as she planned. Donna, like many other innocent  runaways, became a victim of the street walker life. While in survivor  mode she was groomed, exploited, and coerced into prostitution, a path  that took control of her life and ultimately led to her death at the age  of twenty-two. Donna allowed herself to be befriended by several police  officers thinking that this would afford her some protection in her  dangerous life on the streets. Instead she was harassed and ultimately  victimized by some of the same police to whom she had turned for help.  But Donna was a fighter. Rather than taking the abuse, which included  sexual harassment, she reported it to the San Diego Police Department.  She testified against two officers, one of whom lost his job on account  of her testimony. Her life became further complicated when the Internal  Affairs Division exploited and coerced her into becoming a police  corruption informant . She was murdered with gravel stuffed in her mouth  and her autopsy was the first and only to be sealed in San Diego. Why?  Someone wanted to silence Donna. But who? “By  definition, a fearless woman is strong when it comes to facing hard  situations. They are confident in who they are and what they believe,  and in their example of fearlessness, they encourage others to be  courageous and make a difference. While many think of men first when it  comes to these strong figures, there are also a number of important  women in the Bible who inspire, not only because of how they lived but  also because of their rock-solid faith, even in some of the toughest of  circumstances, because they fought injustice and dared to lead.  We can  learn a great deal from their stories.” – 22 Fearless Daughters of the Bible The Donna Gentile Story is the author’s first publication within the  genre of true crime. It is a true story, a story of tragedy, the story  of a first cousin, a young woman, loving and kind, but silenced,  abandoned when she speaks of her hardships at home, from there to  exploitation, prostitution and death, a murder never resolved.Anita DeFrancesco has also written her own true story. A two-time global  author, public speaker, workshop leader and facilitator. She is the  author of “Live Free — Re-create and Liberate Your Life,” her own  journey, a return from devastation. Anita lives, writes, and speaks as a  woman who has not only survived her own challenges but has also grown  from it and re-created her life journey. She has used her painful and  tragic experience to help other women and girls.Her extensive service includes UCLA/The Rape Foundation, Santa Monica  College, Widener University, WOAR, The Boys and Girls Club, Amity  Foundation, Amistad de Los Angeles, The Clare Foundation, Share, DiDi  Hirsch, and many others including Los Angeles’s “Children of the Night,”  founded by Dr. Lois Lee, an organization that rescues child prostitutes  from pimps and organized child sex traffickers. Early on Anita created a  drug-free group for teenagers called RAP.

Chi Kung for Sustainable Orgasms Master Gary Clyman speaks
Discover Joyous Love Podcast with Anita DeFrancesco Episode #33 Chi Kung for Sustainable Orgasms Master Gary Clyman speaks He teaches people how to "dump their junk" with his EMOTIONAL LYPOSUCTION techniques which takes minutes and one is relieved from anger, bitterness, grudges, abandonment and rage. He began his  Tai Chi career in 1974 in Chicago. I studied and teach  Temple Style Tai Chi Ch’uan as taught by Master Waysun Liao. I studied  with two of his top instructors and received corrections from him in a  class for about 18 months. You might have read his book entitled “The  Tai Chi Classics” published by Shambala Press. He took  Tai Chi practice very seriously from the beginning. In a  short while, my practice had developed into a full time job, requiring  between 6-10 hours per day of personal practice. While others were  developing careers and families, I was busy developing my Tai Chi. I  excelled and was passed from teacher to teacher within The Temple Style  Tai Chi Ch’uan System. He had about 100 private consultations with Master Liao. He never  checked my technique. We always talked until all my current questions  were completely answered. He never held back from me. In 1977 I asked  Master Liao, “what level am I equal to?” Even though I was only in my  third year of training, his response was “equal to a 15-20 year  student.” That was in 1977. He is  proof that anyone can become good at Tai Chi. You don’t need  natural ability, special physical skills, innate athleticism, good  genes… All you need is to practice, follow directions, and don’t stop  learning. Oh yeah, burning desire would be helpful. Temple Style Tai Chi Ch’uan as passed from Master to disciple is a  real Tai Chi system. It includes all aspects of the highly revered and  famous art. It includes forms, standing and sitting meditations martial  art applications and fighting, two person sensitivity training and high  performance endurance training. Rarely will you find a Tai Chi system  like this. Masters from all over the country come to study with me on an  ongoing basis. He  was originally taught Chi Kung as “the icing on the cake” to my  professional Tai Chi training. These energy cultivation techniques were  usually withheld and taught to only a chosen few. I was one of those  few. Now, these techniques, Tidal Wave™ Chi Kung, Mind Light™ Nei Kung  and most of Temple Style Tai Chi Ch’uan, are available on video and in  special workshops to those interested in learning these powerful,  internal techniques to quickly and permanently change their lives for  the better.
