S.G. BLAISE: S.G. was born in a faraway land of castles, monarchies and fallen dictatorships, aka Hungary. Hollywood movies were forbidden under Soviet oppression during her childhood, but her dad smuggled them in anyway, risking his life so that his children could experience the magic and hope inherent in those stories. She watched rebellions unfold in real time. Journeyed across the Atlantic Ocean for love.
She ended up in sunny California, where she is living her dream — writing stories and annoying family members.

SARAH VIE: The journey to Vie or “life” began in a time when I knew in my heart something was not quite right within me. That tug or inner emptiness that I experienced, was almost becoming a part of me, but I knew it didn’t belong. This feeling was the turning point to discover what was missing in the core of my inner foundation.
As a child, I felt as if I was living someone else’s life, not my own. Being the childhood equestrian was not something I chose. It was something I was told to do. This as well as many others beliefs, became my false identity that I grew up believing was me.
My self expansion into my truth, began 5 years ago. Meditation was my first instrument I experienced to allow the many layers of my outer false shell, to start melting away. Some of the layers were deeper than others, but I knew with emotional self-kindness, I would be able to crack what I already sensed was inside.
