Star-Studded<br />

Dining Event<br />

MICHAEL CHILDERS’<br />

HOLLYWOOD DINE AND DISH<br />

PALM SPRINGS – AIDS Assistance Program – Food Samaritans (AAP) announces<br />

the return of an exclusive, star-studded event in support of its vital food voucher<br />

program. Hollywood Dine and Dish III will take place at 7 pm on Saturday,<br />

October 29, 20<strong>16</strong> at a private estate in Palm Springs.<br />

Presented by fervent AAP supporter, successful producer and award-winning<br />

Hollywood photographer Michael Childers, the Master of Ceremonies for the<br />

evening will be none other than Emmy Award-winning lifestyle and real estate<br />

correspondent Michael Corbett. This one-of-a-kind evening reveals saucy<br />

secrets of Hollywood stars by celebrity guests including Tony® nominee and bon<br />

vivant Sharon McNight, hilarious actor and comedian Alec Mapa, and Emmy<br />

Award winning comedy writer Bruce Vilanch. Billed as the ultimate Hollywood<br />

experience, Hollywood Dine and Dish III will include hors d’oeuvres, premium<br />

cocktails, and an exquisite dinner, along with MORE Tinsel Town dish that’s too<br />

hot to print!<br />

“When Michael Childers first created this event for us in 2013, we were elated<br />

with the response,” stated Mark Anton, Executive Director of AIDS Assistance<br />

Program – Food Samaritans. “With its reprise in 2014, we enjoyed the stories<br />

of charming and saucy Ms. Jackie Collins. This year, Red Hot Mama Sharon<br />

McNight – one of the few real women to impersonate Bette Davis – is joining us,<br />

as is Alec Mapa, whom Ellen Degeneres has called “smart, hilarious and funny.”<br />

AAP receives no federal or state funding, relying on the generosity of private<br />

donors and other organizations. Currently there are more than 500 clients who<br />

rely on AAP for food twice each month, and a waiting list for services. That list<br />

includes some of the Coachella Valley’s most desperate neighbors who struggle<br />

to maintain their strength and well-being. Donations from the community are<br />

critical so that AAP may continue to provide these services and hopefully reduce<br />

the waiting list.<br />

“A big ‘Thank you’ to Michael Childers for bringing together such an illustrious<br />

group for this event,” added Anton. “It will be a delightful evening filled with<br />

never-heard stories of Hollywood escapades!”<br />

Mingle with these Hollywood insiders for an outrageous, saucy, ribald, and<br />

totally hysterical evening. Hors d’oeuvres, premium cocktails, and an exquisite<br />

dinner will be served.<br />

Tickets for Hollywood Dine and Dish III are $500 per person or $750 per<br />

couple. This event is sure to be funny, raucous, and always sells out. For<br />

more information and to purchase tickets, please call 760-325-8481 or visit<br />

aidsassistance.org. The address of the private venue will be provided upon RSVP.<br />

Now in its 25th year of service to the community, AIDS Assistance Program of<br />

Palm Springs remains dedicated to providing nutritional support to improve the<br />

quality of the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses.<br />

Initiated by a small group of concerned citizens led by the late Gloria Greene<br />

and Jeannette Rockefeller, AAP provides nutritional support to members of the<br />

community with low incomes. For more information, please call 760-325-8481<br />

or visit aidsassistance.org.<br />

he manages to settle down every now and again for a benefit. Winner of six<br />

to watch. For six years, he resided to the left of Whoopi Goldberg, if that is<br />

possible, as a Hollywood Square. For two years, he donned the pantyhose of<br />

Edna Turnblad in the national tour and Broadway production of “Hairspray.” He<br />

is also a songwriter and the star of his own one-man show, which stopped at<br />

the Annenberg Theater a few years ago. This spring, he will be in San Francisco<br />

originated by Bert Lahr, one of whose signature characters his follicles bear a<br />

passing resemblance.<br />

My Best Friends.” and starred in four seasons of the UPN sitcom “Half & Half.”<br />

He played “N’Cream” in the wildly popular drag queen musical “Connie and<br />

Carla,” and has also appeared in “Playing By Heart,” “Marley & Me,” and “You<br />

Bistro in downtown Palm Springs was<br />

one of the best parties surrounding this<br />

amazing event that saw thousands upon<br />

thousands of superhero and comic book<br />

fans flocking to Palm Springs. Proving,<br />

what I have been saying all this year,<br />

Palm Springs is on the rise!<br />

Props to the super duper BB Ingle from bringing this crazy, colorful<br />

carnival to the city. And there was I thinking August was a bad idea… The<br />

triple digits didn’t deter fans from lining up around the block to catch a<br />

glimpse of Mr. Marvel himself, Stan Lee.<br />

As I arrived at the kickoff party at Lulu’s my first sighting of superdom was<br />

of Steve Henke who was posing proudly with a Stormtrooper. Scene by<br />

Artists, co-players, media and local VIPs sampled the offerings enjoying<br />

the live-action pasta station, taco bar, and of course new superherothemed<br />

cocktails and specialty drinks were being knocked back like<br />

nobodies business which included The Hulk Margarita, The Superman<br />

and The Dark Knight — created for the weekend’s first ever Comic Con<br />

Palm Springs.<br />

I even spotted The Joker (Chris Bluhm, Lulu’s bar manager) at the top<br />

of the staircase posing with two gals dressed as space co-pilots (Lisa<br />

Glam and Ann Green), and others as Spiderman, Superman, Superwoman,<br />

various aliens and comic characters. It seemed as if everyone in<br />

this glorious was getting into the Comic Con spirit for this fabulous event.<br />

Eric Turcio<br />

Discovering A New<br />

Destiny in the Desert!<br />

I’m generally a skeptic when it comes to believing in what mediums, psychics<br />

and Tarot readers have to say. Sure, I’ve been to many in the past,<br />

usually when I have broken up with a boyfriend or gone through emotionally<br />

troubled times seeking reassurance about my future. Most of it was<br />

costly and totally hogwash!<br />

However, recently I met Eric Turcio – a nice enough chap who, like me,<br />

is also from the world of broadcast news journalism. Eric was moving<br />

to the Desert to develop a skill he had discovered within himself and<br />

reached out to me via Facebook to say hi. His intention was to make<br />

new friends upon his arrival. What drew Eric to me… Destiny? Of course<br />

being the ever curious and notoriously good investigator that I am, I did<br />

my research on Eric and discovered his career was one hundred percent<br />

kosher. He is, was, a successful news personality.<br />

Turcio was a general assignment reporter for KTVM in Bozeman, Montana.<br />

He is a Connecticut native who has lived on both the East and West<br />

Coasts working in broadcasting. Eric graduated from Quinnipiac University’s<br />

School of Journalism in Connecticut and was actually the main anchor<br />

for four years at Quinnipiac Broadcast Center. I discovered that Eric<br />

interned at WTNH in New Haven and WFSB in Hartford, Connecticut. So<br />

this guy is a REAL news dude. Eric’s resume is tiptop!<br />

Eric explained his passion for news began at the age of 14 after he<br />

contacted a local anchor in Connecticut asking her questions about news<br />

casting. From then on he always wanted to be a reporter. Aside from reporting<br />

the news, his hobby was ballroom dancing. Eric has danced since<br />

the age of five,competing all over the United States and winning various<br />

championships.<br />

This is what I love about Palm Springs. Just recently, and noticeably,<br />

there has been an influx of creative talent arriving here. New faces and<br />

cool people are popping up everywhere. Eric is an example of one them.<br />

I guess I am too. The talented bunch is bringing a fresh approach to the<br />

city making it easy to collaborate and build a new Palm Springs. There’s<br />

a certain new eclectic crowd I have dubbed “the pops” – (The People<br />

of Palm Springs, and yes, I came up with that) We all have fun working<br />

together and bringing new ideas for building a brighter tomorrow.<br />

It is a very exciting time to be one of “the pops” and it is very exciting<br />

to introduce Eric Turcio into the fold. He and his partner, Matthew<br />

Thompson, met in Boston, and both lead successful careers. Together<br />

they moved to California in 2014. Living in Laguna Beach, they became<br />

Orange County socialites who participated in various fundraising events.<br />

I introduced the charitable couple to the board at Equality California (EQ/<br />

CA) and Matthew has since joined our committee here in Palm Springs.<br />

This is an example of their passion to help people.<br />

I reached out to Eric, as I was interested in hearing more about his newfound<br />

gift - as a Medium/Spiritual Healer. Since moving to the Desert,<br />

Eric has relocated his spiritual healing practice - Angel Messages By Eric,<br />

which opened its doors mid-last year in Palm Springs.<br />

The practice sees Eric travelling all over the US as an inspirational and<br />

spiritual speaker from his own personal experiences. He delivers messages<br />

from loved ones in spirit and reconnects them with their love ones<br />

in “this” life.<br />

I can somewhat vouch for Eric’s abilities. There’s something there. Not<br />

sure what it is. Like I said earlier, I am definitely a skeptic. But my reading<br />

with Eric was off the charts. I had asked him to contact my father who<br />

passed on a little over three years ago. To be honest, I’m not sure who in<br />

the spirit world Eric was talking to, but my mother’s name came up quite<br />

clearly (note: my mother is still alive). During our reading, Eric said to me<br />

“Who’s Mary?” From then on Eric had my attention.<br />

So why and how did Eric, with a successful in career in news become a<br />

Medium/Spiritual Healer and end up living in Palm Springs?<br />

<strong>LIVE</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> is just dying to know!<br />

So readers, let’s discover all about Eric’s ‘Destiny in the Desert!’<br />

Sean Borg: What compelled you to switch from your successful TV<br />

news career on the East Coast and Northwestern to open your own Mediumship<br />

and Spiritual Healing practice?<br />

Eric Turcio: “Well, Sean, that’s a great question that I don’t think I<br />

could answer in just this one issue of this magazine, ha-ha! This ability<br />

of mine to see, hear, sense, feel, touch, and communicate with those in<br />

spirit has always been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. I had an<br />

incredible awakening while I was working at a TV station in Montana. I<br />

was out reporting on a late breaking story and boom -- my eyes immediately<br />

became fixed on the sky. My Guides spoke to me in that moment<br />

saying I was meant to be a ‘communicator.’ But my gifts were meant to<br />

help people in a different way. I had to go to Southwest Montana to have<br />

this spiritual awakening. I couldn’t ignore it. And I finally listened to this<br />

very powerful inner voice. I felt all my current fears about my job and life<br />

completely disappear. I no longer had this knot in the pit of my stomach.<br />

I felt on that warm Montana August day, I did not have to be anything<br />

less than who I truly was. I left television news (a very difficult decision to<br />

make) and trusted my inner voice that my life would be guided. Now, I’m<br />

here in Palm Springs full-time and I truly love it. I feel so at peace here.<br />

And my gifts have flourished since our move to the Desert on May 5,<br />

20<strong>16</strong>.<br />

SB: You and your partner, Matthew Thompson, have been together just<br />

about four years and now just landed here in Palm Springs, CA. How did<br />

that come about?<br />

ET: It’s simple: love. After we met, Matthew and I knew we needed a<br />

change in our environment to build a happier and healthier life together.<br />

Who wouldn’t want to be in Laguna Beach? It was there Matthew started<br />

his own pharmaceutical regulatory and compliance consulting firm,

“Thompson Global Consulting.” It was the perfect time to regroup and redirect<br />

where we wanted our careers to go, and combine the gifts that we<br />

share. We visited Palm Springs in November and were instantly drawn to<br />

this little glamorous city tucked away between the mountains. Matthew’s<br />

client is in Thousand Oaks where he stays until mid-week and then rejoins<br />

me at our lovely Palm Springs home, near the Movie Colony. Matthew<br />

also stays busy with his community work. His previous charity work<br />

at Fenway Health in Boston, MA raised over a million dollars. Matthew’s<br />

strong activism for LGBT Healthcare is one of his passions and he looks<br />

forward to serving his new community in the Coachella Valley. Meanwhile,<br />

I am practicing my Mediumship full-time here in Palm Springs.<br />

SB: When did you begin doing this work professionally?<br />

ET: My journey began back in 2010 when I first moved to Laguna Beach,<br />

CA. I lived so close to the ocean and sensed such a spiritual connection<br />

to the water. And Laguna Beach is a very spiritual place; open to this<br />

type of healing practice. I started my first few years using Angel Cards<br />

and randomly flipping cards for friends at my home. It was more of my<br />

way of figuring out how to use my abilities and whether it was through my<br />

spiritual cards or simply open-channeling spirit messages. My very good<br />

friend, Sharon, allowed me to read for her using my cards many times. In<br />

fact, to this day, events I mentioned that would take place in her life are<br />

continuing to unfold. After building a secret clientele following, I professionally<br />

came out one year ago with my business, “Angel Messages By<br />

Eric.” I was a closeted medium for many years, giving messages to those<br />

I trusted who would be supportive of this spiritual work. Validation in this<br />

line of work is so significant. And in the beginning, I knew I had to be<br />

careful about who I opened up to about my Mediumship gifts. After years<br />

of practice and soul-searching, I opened up my healing to the public. I<br />

now read for people all around the world, which is rather amazing to me.<br />

SB: How do you connect to the Spirit World?<br />

ET: That’s a great question. I am always subconsciously connected to<br />

messages via Spirit. I usually begin with a meditation prayer that connects<br />

me to my faith, my beliefs, and who I am as a spiritual healer. I ask<br />

my Guides to open my Crown Chakra to the Spirit World, but keep my<br />

physical body in this life so I can participate as a ‘normal’ human being.<br />

SB: How do you see Spirit?<br />

ET: The best way I can explain it is I see hundreds of thousands of white<br />

lights. Picture one hundred candle’s flames glowing brightly all grouped<br />

together. That’s how the spirit comes to me. When a person’s loved one<br />

chooses to reveal their identity, it’s then that white flame of light turns into<br />

the soul my client once knew in life.<br />

SB: What do they say?<br />

ET: Well, they tell or show me items that I wouldn’t know -- based on the<br />

relationship this soul had with my client in life. Spirit will show me colors<br />

of roses, jewelry, scarves tied around their necks, and other symbols that<br />

will help to validate the connection to the person I am reading.<br />

I remember, playing “school” in my bedroom as a child and talking to my<br />

pupils (who were actually spirits playing back with me) and actually feeling<br />

they were a part of my five-year-old life. I recall my mom, walking into<br />

my room and listening to some of the conversations I would have with<br />

spirits who visited me -- especially my family’s deceased loved ones. It<br />

freaked my mom out and she tried to not acknowledge for a while. You<br />

see, this ability was always around me. It was not until my adult years I<br />

was able to recognize what I was seeing and hearing.<br />

SB: What is the difference between a psychic and a medium?<br />

ET: In my opinion, a medium is a person who can see, hear, sense,<br />

smell, all signs from spiritual energy in the light. A medium acts like a<br />

mediator to a degree. I work with the “here and now.” We communicate<br />

the messages from spirit to the physical world. If a predictive message<br />

comes through via spirit (your loved one) regarding a particular event<br />

coming up or a relationship -- I will communicate that message how it’s<br />

meant to be, based on what spirit is showing me. A psychic, to me, is an<br />

individual who has the ability to forecast life events. They can see into<br />

the future through their own gifts. I am not a psychic, so I cannot speak to<br />

what they go through or their abilities. However, if they choose to,.spirit<br />

will often times tell me something that is going to happen in the future<br />

I rely on spirit to give me information through their message, and I will<br />

communicate it to my client.<br />

SB: What can one expect during a normal reading with you?<br />

ET: I always advise people before purchasing a reading with me, to review<br />

my testimonials. It’s the best way for people understand what I do in<br />

a session and how I channel messages. Some have never had a reading<br />

where a loved one’s spirit is being channeled and it could be frightening<br />

to them. I only deliver messages that are conveyed at the time of the<br />

reading. I never go beyond what my guides show me in a reading. The<br />

best readings are those in which a client has no expectations of hearing<br />

from a deceased loved one. Expectations put up blocks that make it<br />

difficult for me to channel a person’s spirit guides or loved ones to come<br />

through. It takes a lot of spiritual strength for our loved ones to come<br />

through and deliver their messages. Always have an open mind and open<br />

heart when requesting a reading.<br />

SB: Are there any instructions you give new clients before a reading?<br />

ET: I just ask them to pray prior to the reading (if they do pray) or ask<br />

their loved ones to enter their session with love and light. It’s great for<br />

people to hold an object that belongs to the deceased relative they want<br />

to hear from during the reading. Energy never disappears so jewelry is a<br />

wonderful object to have present during a session.<br />

SB: What are some of your hobbies when you’re not travelling around<br />

touring around the country?<br />

ET: Well, I love my home. It’s my sanctuary. I love to cook my Grandmother<br />

Turcio’s old Sicilian recipes. I find when I am cooking; I am closer<br />

to her spirit. Now that I am all settled here in Palm Springs, I’ve started<br />

back into my fitness regimen -- running, Pilates and yoga everyday -- I<br />

do want to play tennis - that’s a goal of mine for sure.<br />

29<br />

SB: Was there some point when someone told you about your Mediumship<br />

abilities?<br />

ET: Many mediums and spiritual practitioners told me since a young<br />

boy that having the ability to see and sense our loved ones in spirit was<br />

a blessing and never to allow anyone to convince me otherwise. I have<br />

many spiritual mentors with whom I still check-in with regarding my own<br />

abilities and growth. I believe you never stop learning. And education, no<br />

matter the topic, is very significant to personal growth.<br />

SB: What are your personal spiritual views regarding your abilities?<br />

ET:: I do not have any specific definition of spirituality or how anyone<br />

else should practice his or her own faith. I believe God and my angels<br />

blessed me with this healing before I was born, and have always intended<br />

me to use it to assist others. I tell my clients exactly what I see, hear,<br />

and sense in the next dimension,call it heaven or what you may. I truly<br />

believe however, that we all believe in something, especially when we<br />

feel alone, sad, or unhappy with our life situations. I obviously believe in<br />

the healing I deliver to my clients. I see changes right in front of me when<br />

their loved ones come through. Spirit validates who they were in this<br />

life, and their relationship to my client. People will know who is the “real<br />

deal,” when it comes to mediums, because of the information that comes<br />

through. This is information I couldn’t have researched or learned anywhere<br />

else. Some “claim” to be mediums or psychics but aren’t. I trust<br />

and believe that all truth is revealed one way or another. You cannot hide<br />

who and what you are - eventually everything will surface in your life.<br />

SB: What was your most significant experience that lead to you acknowledge<br />

your Mediumship gifts?<br />

ET: There were many experiences. Possibly one of the most profound<br />

experiences of my life was when I was living in Bozeman, Montana. After<br />

spending many years working in broadcasting on the East Coast where<br />

my career began, I was a local TV newscaster in Bozeman. I loved<br />

providing information to millions of viewers. I enjoyed communicating<br />

messages and stories that truly changed people’s lives each day. It was<br />

an honor to nightly serve my audience in Montana. I felt, however, that I<br />

was being called to do something “higher”. I kept my reporting going and<br />

tried to ignore various spiritual messages that would come through in the<br />

middle of my workday.<br />

I found that being away from my family, isolated in a new town, with a<br />

new role, in a new COLD region of the country, that I wasn’t fulfilling my<br />

true calling. My time in Montana forced me to go deep within and acknowledge<br />

all of what made my being.<br />

After several months, I became quite ill and had surgery. It was during<br />

my recovery, staying in a lovely cabin high up in the Bridger Mountains<br />

that I began to see spirit in full form. I was sitting by a lovely pond one<br />

<strong>September</strong> morning and this presence came over me as if it was holding<br />

me in place. I could not move a limb and warm goosebumps kept rushing<br />

through my body. I kept hearing my name being called. Upon looking<br />

up at the big Montana sky, a strong, but gentle voice began speaking<br />

to me. I heard that my life was going to change significantly. I was told I<br />

would help thousands of people get through personal suffering in years<br />

to come. This voice said I would be leaving Montana to go where I could<br />

acknowledge my inner-gifts completely. I was told I was meant to experience<br />

my current suffering so I could understand suffering and pain of<br />

otherswho would come to me seeking help for inner struggles. I couldn’t<br />

understand who this voice was, but it was so comforting and warm feeling.<br />

Later that night, an angel appeared in front of me in all white. The<br />

angel said I should accept the many blessing of this new life path and<br />

must always act through love and kindness, and share the light of their<br />

spirit world. It’s an experience confirmed , to this day, by the presence of<br />

those warm goosebumps all over my body.<br />

SB: When did you first recognize that you had this gift?<br />

ET: I’ve seen spirits since I was very young. I would often tell my mom<br />

about relatives who have passed away before I was born - because they<br />

were in my room or near her in the house. Most of the time what I saw did<br />

not bother me, I was just confused about why no one else in my house<br />

could see them too. After my father died in 2005, that was when my channel<br />

opened and messages from the other side began flowing through my<br />

sub consciousness. I was so devastated by the loss of my dad, I wanted<br />

to do anything I could to see his face again or hear his voice.<br />

It was not until my college years when I began investigating more about<br />

what I was seeing. Mainly, during that time, I would see large white orbs<br />

floating around my bedroom. After awhile, it did scare me to the point<br />

where I was too afraid to sleep in my bedroom. I would hear my name<br />

being called out in the middle of the night. Spirits would tap on my arms<br />

or legs to wake me up so they could tell me their story. These were just<br />

random spirits I never met before. Soon enough, my bedroom was filled<br />

with rosary beads everywhere. I had pictures, statues of the Blessed<br />

Mother Mary, and other religious figures all around my bedroom - trying<br />

to keep these spirits from bothering. Eventually I began asking them to<br />

tell me what they want and who they are. Meanwhile, I was still in college<br />

and trying to get my rest in for exams the night before. I became extremely<br />

distracted from everyday life and too involved in the spirit world. I<br />

knew at that point I needed to seek guidance myself to understand what<br />

was happening. I went to see a famous medium on the East Coast who<br />

came highly recommended by my relatives. I was so anxious to meet her:<br />

Marti, The Medium. In my session with Marti, she told me I possessed


a very special gift. She said I was an empathic medium, much like her.<br />

It was through years of working with her I began to understand my skills<br />

and how to humbly use my gifts to assist others in need of answers --<br />

like I was. An empathic medium, can take on the emotions and physical<br />

well being of another person via spirit connection. Like other empathic<br />

mediums, I’ve come to realize that when I don’t use, or overuse my gifts,<br />

it can affect my physical being. - like what I experienced in college and in<br />

Montana. Sometimes after a few readings, I am so physically drained I<br />

have to nap just to replenish my energy.<br />

SB: In regards to spiritual abilities, is it always a guide or angel passing<br />

information, or do you have abilities of your own which are independent<br />

of your guides and skills?<br />

ET: In my opinion, every medium, psychic, or spiritual healer is different..<br />

I am a self taught healer, which means I’ve never studied formally<br />

how to do a reading or see spirit. Nor have I had to learn formally how<br />

to communicate with our loved ones in the light. It is just a part of me. I<br />

trusted my faith in the Blessed Mother (from whom I channel my messages<br />

and always believed in as a young boy) would guide me to where<br />

I needed to be with my spirituality. I pray a lot and use aspects of my<br />

faith which help me stay connected to spirit. There’s no immediate formal<br />

prayer or ritual I do to begin to see what I see -- I just simply see what<br />

I do. It’s very hard to explain it. Primarily, messages enter my subconscious<br />

mind. Through my own meditations,,I allow myself to be completely<br />

aware of the my sub conscious. Everything I do to channel spirit and<br />

use my gifts is unique from anyone else I’ve met who does this work. I<br />

choose not to read “How To” books on spirituality because I believe, if it’s<br />

meant to be, it will happen. At times, angels will come through, and sometimes<br />

it’s a client’s loved one holding hands of another spirit they would<br />

recognize. I just share what I see and feel during a reading. The reading<br />

is truly controlled by spirit and the validation of the person receiving<br />

the messages from me. I am not in charge. I’m just truly the messenger.<br />

When spirits want me to meditate and connect to them, I’ll see a signal;<br />

a layer of white mist above my head during the day. Then I’ll go into a<br />

quiet room in my house and ask this light-filled presence to show itself to<br />

me. When I do receive the information, then I’ll share it with whomever it<br />

concerns.<br />

SB: Do you feel that everybody has a certain degree of the ability then?<br />

ET: Everyone has the gift of being aware of the universal messages<br />

from spirit. We all have this ability, but it’s through self-awareness and<br />

selflessness we can connect to these messages. We all have dreams<br />

or predictive visions of something happening. Most often, people do not<br />

pay attention; and if they do, they’re unsure what to do with the message.<br />

Many people just dismiss the feelings or messages as, “I’m just going<br />

crazy.” It’s through self-reflection and self-awareness that we can accept<br />

this beautiful gift within us.<br />

SB: What label or description do you give yourself when a stranger asks<br />

what you do for work?<br />

ET: That’s always challenging for me to say publicly for some reason. It<br />

really depends on the environment - and the person asking. I usually say<br />

I work in /communications/. If I’m at a gala, or social party, I never discuss<br />

my Mediumship. I tell people I work in communications or I will tell them<br />

“life coaching” or “spiritual healing.” Most of the time, when they hear the<br />

answer “spiritual healing.”, I get this strange perplexed head nod back.<br />

Usually, there’s no follow-up after they nod their head. There are some<br />

who get very Barbara Walters with me during a dinner party if they want<br />

to know more. The questions become endless. At this point, I usually<br />

just slip them a business card with all my information on it. I find it’s the<br />

most proper way not to answer in public at a party, but at the same time<br />

“We visited Palm Springs in November and were<br />

instantly drawn to this little glamorous city tucked<br />

away between the mountains.”<br />

“After years of practice and soul-searching, I opened up my healing to the public.<br />

I now read for people all around the world!”<br />

answer their question as to what I do for work. It says right on my business<br />

card, MEDIUM. I think at that point most people get the hint: I do not<br />

like discussing my work socially, I will in a private conversation or through<br />

booking a private reading.<br />

SB: What is your intention or motivation for doing this work?<br />

ET:I simply do what I do to help others change their lives for the better.<br />

I want to see people happy when they are sad. I want to help people<br />

recognize the good that does exist in this life, show them their loved ones<br />

who crossed over are always around. I want people to know much they<br />

are loved unconditionally through the light of spirit and educate them on<br />

ways to get through their inner suffering. I’m an emotional person and<br />

when my father died at age 46, all I could think of was the loss. Through<br />

my work, I’ve learned and know life does exist on the other side and we<br />

do reunite with our loved ones again in the light.<br />

SB: How long do your readings last and why did you choose this length<br />

of time?<br />

ET: I offer a variety of readings. One reading I offer is an Angel/Spirit<br />

Reading. This is where I use my Archangel Michael cards to help me to<br />

see where a person is in life at the time of their session. During this reading,<br />

I also channel spirit and allow all light-filled spirit who identifies with<br />

the client to come through. It’s spirit who tells me which number of cards<br />

to pull. Most time, spirit is so strong I do not need my Angel cards.<br />

The other reading I offer is called a Life Coaching This is where I channel<br />

spirit to guide a client through an immediate situation happening in their<br />

life. Sometimes, it’s coaching them through relationship struggles or emotional<br />

struggles happening in their life. In this session, I channel the spirit<br />

of a client’s loved ones. I deliver the messages they want their loved<br />

ones in the physical world to know about the situation. I leave the length<br />

of time of a reading up to my clients. I offer half hour and hour sessions.<br />

It just depends on the need of reading and what a client is hoping to<br />

receive from me. I usually like to read for someone only once a year. If a<br />

client returns with new developments in their life and they want additional<br />

spiritual advice, I call it a “Life Coaching” session.<br />

SB: You do events, seminars, workshops, and lectures? Tell us about<br />

them. What are they like? How often, and how do people benefit from<br />

them?<br />

ET: Yes, I travel all over the country giving group readings. Group events<br />

are a great way for people to come together for the same purpose; receiving<br />

messages from their loved ones. I pick up on a lot of energy when<br />

I’m in a room full of people. It’s always a very supportive environment and<br />

a great way for those grieving to find peace, and to know they are not<br />

alone. I discuss ways to connect to your loved ones, meditation methods,<br />

and answer questions the audience may have about my process and how<br />

I channel spirit. I “open channel” spirit(s) in the room. Which means I<br />

ask all spirit connected to those in the audience to reveal their presence.<br />

When I begin to get signs, symbols, number, names, a description of a<br />

how and where a person passed, I begin to find in the audience which<br />

person this soul belongs to.<br />

to be at your own home, with a cup of tea or coffee in hand while having<br />

a reading. There’s no awkward nervousness when you’re in the comfort<br />

of your own home. I always suggest people take notes of what I am saying<br />

or record the session. It’s always nice to have a way to go back and<br />

re-visit what we have discussed in a session. Spirit will bring up many<br />

names, initials of names, symbols or past life events up during a session.<br />

Often clients cannot immediately attach to a message that comes<br />

through will re-listen to the reading and a connection is made to what it<br />

is spirit wanted me to channel for them.<br />

SB: What’s next for you with “Angel Messages By Eric”?<br />

ET: I have my Fall Season, “Angel Messages By Eric” group reading tour<br />

starting on <strong>September</strong> 18th in Cape Girardeau, MO. Then I continue my<br />

tour on the East Coast, I fly to Cape Cod and over to Connecticut in late<br />

October. My hope is to host several group readings in Palm Springs, and<br />

around Southern California. I’m very much looking forward to spreading<br />

my “angel wings” here in the Desert.<br />

SB: Who is Eric Turcio today?<br />

ET: I am someone living and honoring all of who I am. I am helping<br />

my fellow man. I would humbly say I help lift away personal suffering,<br />

leading people to a light-filled path in this life. My purpose everyday is<br />

to change one person’s life...That’s it. I want to only show them that this<br />

life can be good. We choose to suffer in this world. But it doesn’t have<br />

to be that way. I want to share my knowledge and spiritual healing skills<br />

with those who truly want to accept healing. I believe in making a ‘better<br />

you’ each day you wake up. No matter how deep the struggle, I want to<br />

change lives for the better. I will stand beside anyone who wants help to<br />

heal themselves and help others in return. I am not claiming to be a miraculous<br />

healer. But I do see where our loved ones go after this life...And<br />

it’s all love, and free of suffering!<br />

SB: People who will want a reading with you, how do they get in touch<br />

with Eric Turcio?<br />

ET:They can log onto my website, www.angelmessagesbyeric.com .<br />

My bio and all my testimonials are on my homepage for people to get a<br />

better sense about my work. I am available for private group sessions<br />

as well as individual sessions. Anyone can call my Angel Line at 760-459-<br />

7756 to book a session.<br />

SB: I SHOULD NOTE: As our interview drew to a close, Eric left me with<br />

a comforting thought (sort of), telling me that my father is looking down<br />

on me from the heavens above while hanging out with Judy Garland<br />

(of all people… Judy!) Though I’m agape, I wouldn’t put anything past<br />

my dad. I chuckle hesitantly in disbelief as I say my goodbyes, because<br />

ironically I had been watching documentaries on the life of Garland over<br />

the past week on YouTube. So, make of that what you will, <strong>LIVE</strong> readers!<br />

(Laughs).<br />

Angel Messages by Eric is open for business now in Palm Springs, CA.<br />

SB: Do you do phone readings, in person readings, or both?<br />

ET: I absolutely offer in-person, phone, Skype, and most recently, Face-<br />

Time sessions. Most people want to see me during the session. If someone<br />

lives far away from Palm Springs they will either choose a phone<br />

reading or a Skype reading. It just depends on a client’s technical and or<br />

travel limitations. Most clients prefer phone sessions because it’s cozy<br />

DESERT DENTAL ALTERNATIVES<br />

Bruno Lemay, DMD<br />

Creating Beautiful Smiles<br />

CHANGING THE FACE OF DENTISTRY IN THE DESERT<br />

With the extensive training he has received over the last 25 years, Dr. Bruno Lemay’s<br />

unique experience has set him apart from any other dental practitioner in the desert.<br />

Dr. Lemay is able to perform every specialized dental treatment right in his office,<br />

making Desert Dental Alternatives one of the only “one stop” general dentistry<br />

offices in the area.<br />

CONVENIENT, AFFORDABLE CARE UNDER ONE ROOF<br />

At Desert Dental Alternatives, there is no need to go from one office to another to<br />

have implants, crowns , surgery or root canals. Dr. Lemay performs all procedures<br />

himself, from the surgical stage of implantology to the restorative stage, saving patients<br />

valuable time and money. Having all dental work performed by one dentist in<br />

the same office provides the patient with added peace of mind and confidence that<br />

their care is being expertly handled from start to finish and much less hassle to have<br />

to drive from one office to the other.<br />

One of the reasons Desert Dental Alternatives is so unique is that there are very few<br />

dentists in California performing implant dentistry with the high success rates Dr.<br />

Lemay is known for. In most practices, the patient is referred to see a specialist who<br />

places the implants and then returns to the referring office for the restorative dentist<br />

to place the prosthetic part.<br />

Most patients do not enjoy visiting the dentist, or do not have the time for long,<br />

drawn out appointments. That’s why it’s important to pick a dentist with a gentle<br />

touch and exceptional skill, who can give you the best results in the fewest number<br />

of visits. Dr. Lemay respects your time and focuses on getting you out of the chair<br />

with the best quality treatment so you can get back to the activities you enjoy. And,<br />

at Desert Dental Alternatives, you can feel confident that you are getting the best<br />

possible care at a price that fits your budget.<br />

so many insurance providers is because we have developed a<br />

very efficient top-quality team over the last 15 years. We pride<br />

ourselves on working smarter, not harder to get your dental work<br />

done efficiently.”<br />

“Being able to work with PPO insurance is important for our clients so they can use<br />

the benefits they pay for,” says Dr. Lemay. “The reason why we are able to work with<br />

LEADING-EDGE ALTERNATIVES FOR THE HIGHEST CALIBER CARE<br />

Because of Dr. Lemay’s involvement in all stage of implantology,<br />

root canal therapy and dental surgery, it was essential for his<br />

practice to offer the most advanced technology in terms of diagnostic<br />

scanners. Desert Dental Alternatives is the only general<br />

dentistry office in the desert with a 3-D Cat-Scan machine. Dr.<br />

Lemay’s patients benefit from this technology without having to<br />

go to another facility or hospital, or pay excessive fees for this<br />

type of X-ray. The 3-D image allows Dr. Lemay to provide the best<br />

service to his patients quickly and efficiently, at a fraction of the<br />

price they would have to pay for a Cat-Scan elsewhere.<br />

“Since I have been working with the CT scanner, I wonder how<br />

I was able to work without it, and how any other dentists can<br />

perform the best treatment possible without this amazing tool,”<br />

he says.<br />

The name of Dr. Lemay’s practice, Desert Dental Alternatives really<br />

says it all. Dr. Lemay and his staff pride themselves on never<br />

pushing patients towards a unique treatment because it’s all they<br />

offer. Instead, patients are educated on all the various treatment<br />

options regardless of the cost, so they can make an informed<br />

decision. For example, standard implants are often a good solution,<br />

but there are also cases where patients could benefit from<br />

mini-implants. Since Dr. Lemay is the only dentist in the desert<br />

successfully performing both techniques for over two decades,<br />

there is no other place to learn about both options during the<br />

same visit.<br />

NEW MUSIC IN THE FILM<br />

BURBANK, CA - Award-winning music superstar Lady Gaga has been<br />

set to star opposite four-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper (“American<br />

Sniper,” “American Hustle,” “Silver Linings Playbook”) in a<br />

remake of the iconic musical drama “A Star is Born.” The announcement<br />

was made by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development<br />

and Worldwide Production, Warner Bros. Pictures. The film will also<br />

be helmed by Cooper, who will be making his directorial debut.<br />

Lady Gaga’s role in “A Star is Born” will mark her first lead in a<br />

feature film. In addition, she will compose new songs for the film,<br />

which she will also perform.<br />

“A Star is Born” is being produced by Billy Gerber and Jon Peters; together<br />

with Bradley Cooper and Todd Phillips, under their Joint Effort<br />

Productions banner. Basil Iwanyk is serving as executive producer.<br />

In making the announcement, Silverman stated, “For those of us<br />

lucky enough to watch him work as an actor and producer, it has<br />

been clear that Bradley would make this transition to director. We<br />

are honored that he is doing it, here, at his home—Warner Bros.—and<br />

with Lady Gaga as a collaborator and co-star. The world is in for a<br />

treat as these great artists craft an all new vision of ‘A Star is Born.’”<br />

A singular talent, Lady Gaga earned an Oscar nomination earlier<br />

this year for her moving song “Til it Happens to You,” from the<br />

documentary “The Hunting Ground.” Among her many music honors,<br />

she has also won six Grammy Awards and earned another nine<br />

Grammy nominations. Her multi-platinum hits range from “Bad<br />

Romance,” “Poker Face” and “Just Dance” to the chart-topping<br />

anthem “Born This Way.” In 2014, she proved her crossover appeal<br />

with “Cheek to Cheek,” partnering with the legendary Tony Bennett<br />

on a duet album of standards, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard<br />

chart. On the acting front, Lady Gaga starred in the 2015-<strong>16</strong> season<br />

of FX’s hit series “American Horror Story,” earning widespread<br />

acclaim and winning a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a<br />

Limited Series or Made for Television Movie. She had earlier been<br />

seen in the Robert Rodriguez films “Machete Kills” and “Sin City: A<br />

Dame to Die For.”<br />

“A Star is Born” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures,<br />

a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.


todd<br />

schroeder<br />

Todd Schroeder is arguably one of the hardest-working and most noteworthy<br />

music directors performing in the world of show business today.<br />

For over two decades, Schroeder, who was named BroadwayWorld’s<br />

“Musical Director of the Year” in 2013, has acted as music director for<br />

literally hundreds upon hundreds of Hollywood stars and legends of the<br />

theatre world. The list has included notable musicians and cherished<br />

stage performers, as well as more uniquely, television and film actors<br />

who aren’t normally known for their singing abilities, but have leveraged<br />

Todd’s talents to enhance that of their own. Schroeder’s ability to work<br />

within the tight constructs of the latter category has made him one of<br />

the most remarkable and coveted music directors in the world, gaining<br />

the trust and respect of entertainment icons, with an unparalleled career<br />

that spans over 20 years.<br />

Just a sampling of the countless stars Todd has worked with has included<br />

iconic stars of stage and screen that have inspired millions across<br />

generational divides, including Dame Angela Lansbury, Sir Tom Jones,<br />

Liza Minnelli, Grace Potter, Beth Behrs (2 Broke Girls), Emmy Rossum<br />

(Shameless), Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory), Jesse Tyler Ferguson<br />

(Modern Family), Josh Gad (The Book of Mormon), Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting<br />

(The Big Bang Theory), Laura Bell Bundy (Legally Blonde:<br />

The Musical), Beau Bridges, Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), Joey McIntyre<br />

(The McCarthys) and many, many more.<br />

Over the years, the musical luminary has even acted as musical and<br />

vocal director for various live performance shows for internationally renowned<br />

theme parks such as Walt Disney, Universal Studios Hollywood<br />

and Japan, and Knott’s Berry Farm, among others. Schroeder shares,<br />

“One of my favorite moments working in a theme park was when I was<br />

brought in to musical direct the Broadway hit show Wicked at Universal<br />

Studios Japan. It was the first time a Broadway show was going to be<br />

presented in a theme park and I got to work with the show’s creator Stephen<br />

Schwartz and help figure out how to present this amazing show in<br />

a new format. I was so honored to be apart of this ground-breaking experience.”<br />

Schroeder has now once again been asked to be part of the<br />

casting team representing Universal Studios Japan on a global 10-city<br />

audition tour reaching from Sydney, Australia to London, England, to<br />

Hollywood, searching for new talent for the theme parks’ myriad production<br />

shows. Todd has served as music director for many of the shows<br />

at Universal Studios Japan and has been part of their worldwide casting<br />

team for over 13 years seeing more than 20,000 singers, dancers and<br />

actors.<br />

Schroeder has also performed his role as music director for a number of<br />

multi-performer philanthropic benefit events, including the Todd Schroeder<br />

Young Artist Grant Benefit Concert, which he founded over two<br />

decades ago; State Farm’s Remarkable Talent Show; the Alzheimer’s<br />

Association’s “A Night At Sardi’s” celebrity musical revue; Camp Bravo’s<br />

“Back to Bravo” Benefit Concert; the National Breast Cancer Coalition’s<br />

“Les Girls Benefit”; “The Thalians” all-star tribute benefit raising awareness<br />

for mental health, honoring the music of Motown legend Smokey<br />

Robinson, and the one-night-only “Benefit for the Philippines,” which<br />

supported the American Red Cross’ efforts to assist the people of the<br />

Philippines to recover and rebuild from the 2013 typhoon.<br />

Throughout his fabled career beginning in his small hometown of Sonora,<br />

California, nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, all the way to Los<br />

Angeles, where he lives today, Todd has had the honor of being invited<br />

to perform with distinguished acts including the Boston Pops Orchestra,<br />

Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Duke Ellington Orchestra, and has<br />

performed at illustrious venues like Carnegie Hall and The White House.<br />

In addition to being a world-famous music director to the stars, Todd<br />

is also a performer and composer himself, having written five original<br />

albums and a number of original musicals, as well as having producing<br />

various albums for other artists. In addition to composing his own music,<br />

Schroeder has also composed original music for a variety of popular<br />

television shows, including “Guiding Light,” and shows and TV movies<br />

on Lifetime, Showtime and Cinemax.<br />

Todd also recently musical directed and performed in Sam Harris’ acclaimed<br />

show, HAM: A Musical Memoir, which played a three-week run<br />

at New York’s Ars Nova Theater in January. The show was directed by<br />

Tony winner Billy Porter (Kinky Boots), and produced by Broadway producer<br />

Suzi Dietz. Todd has served as Music Director for Sam Harris for<br />

more than 20 years. Todd also co-created and performed in the Jason<br />

Alexander show Other People’s Stories, which premiered in Los Angeles<br />

in spring 2015. Todd has collaborated and musical directed with<br />

Jason for more than ten years.<br />

By working across such a wide spectrum of artistic disciplines, Schroeder<br />

has further been able to cultivate his genius ability to understand the<br />

anatomy of music, allowing him to meticulously identify the intricacies of<br />

all different types of songs in order to help tailor each arrangement to its<br />

vocal presenter.<br />

This winter, Todd will joined the superstar retro-pop group Postmodern<br />

Jukebox as a music director and pianist. Created by Scott Bradlee,<br />

Postmodern Jukebox has been referred to as a YouTube sensation for<br />

capturing millions of views online, including for its cover of Lorde’s “Royals”<br />

with more than 12 million views. In keeping with the group’s rotating<br />

arrangement, Todd can be seen appearing on select shows while on the<br />

group’s upcoming world tour. Todd also appears in the new Postmodern<br />

Jukebox video for the song, “My Heart Will Go On,” released in early<br />

August, which has garnered more than one million views and praise from<br />

Titanic actor Kate Winslet, artist Celine Dion and actor Ashton Kutcher.

“SAM I HAM”<br />

Thursday<br />

October 20, 20<strong>16</strong><br />

8pm<br />

Following triumphant New York and LA runs of his one man show, Ham,<br />

Sam Harris returns to Martinis for an evening of music with a voice that<br />

Rolling Stone <strong>Magazine</strong> listed as “One of the top 100 of all time.”<br />

Accompanied by longtime musical director, Todd Schroeder, Harris will<br />

perform songs new and old along with the comic observations that have<br />

become as much a part of his appearances as his celebrated voice.<br />

Sam Harris’ diversified career has run the gamut from singer and<br />

songwriter to actor on Broadway, film and television to writer, director,<br />

producer and author. After pulling a weekly audience of more<br />

than 25 million viewers and going on to win Star Search in its premiere<br />

season, Sam and his powerhouse pop, gospel and theater<br />

influenced vocals have never looked back.<br />

He is a multi-platinum recording artist with 9 studio CDs to his credit<br />

including Sam Harris and Sam-I-Am (both top 40 hits),Standard<br />

Time and Different Stages (produced and conducted by the legendary<br />

Peter Matz, and which have been listed on numerous “Top 100<br />

Records of All Time” lists.)<br />

Sam has toured extensively in concert and has played to sold-out<br />

audiences at major venues including New York’s Carnegie Hall, Los<br />

Angeles’ Universal Amphitheatre, London’s West End and with The<br />

Boston Pops. He also participated in Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors<br />

tour. Sam has appeared at The White House, on numerous television<br />

specials and live productions, and has been a guest artist on<br />

virtually every talk show; his favorite in an historic time, when he<br />

performed a stirring “You’ll Never Walk Alone” on The Oprah Winfrey<br />

Show in the week following <strong>September</strong> 11th.<br />

On Broadway, Sam received a Tony, Outer Critic’s Circle and<br />

Drama Desk nominations for his work in Cy Coleman’s The Life as<br />

First Wives Club, and the smash hit, one man show Sam.<br />

Earth, which ran for 4 years. He also co-produced the television<br />

special Love Letter To New York, supervised and directed<br />

segments of Michael Jackson’s <strong>30</strong>th Year Anniversary at Madison<br />

Square Garden, and wrote Liza’s At The Palace for Liza<br />

MARC ANTHONY NAMED 20<strong>16</strong> LATIN RECORDING ACADEMY®<br />

PERSON OF THE YEAR<br />

Five-time Latin GRAMMY® and two-time GRAMMY® winner Marc Anthony<br />

will be honored as the 20<strong>16</strong> Latin Recording Academy® Person of the Year<br />

on Wednesday, Nov. <strong>16</strong> at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The<br />

star-studded gala and tribute concert will feature renditions of the awardwinning<br />

singer’s renowned music catalog by an impressive array of notable<br />

artists and friends. A significant portion of the net proceeds from the gala<br />

will benefit the charitable work of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation®,<br />

which provides assistance through scholarships, fellowships, grants, and<br />

educational programs year-round to music students.<br />

“Marc Anthony is synonymous with excellence and commitment to perfection,”<br />

said Gabriel Abaroa Jr., President/CEO of The Latin Recording Academy.<br />

“His impressive stage presence, astonishing vocal range and salsainspired<br />

rhythmic sound stems from his Caribbean roots. The world knows<br />

him as a music king; however, on Nov. <strong>16</strong> the award-winning singer will not<br />

only be honored for his musical legacy but also applauded for his relentless<br />

humanitarian efforts, which speak to his generous spirit, passion, and commitment<br />

to making a positive impact on more than just the stage.”<br />

“I was ecstatic when I received the news about this special recognition from<br />

the Latin Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. It is an honor and I am<br />

humbled to be selected as The Person of Year recipient for my contributions<br />

as a music ambassador and my humanitarian efforts. I am looking forward<br />

to an unforgettable evening at this year’s gala benefiting the Latin GRAMMY<br />

Cultural Foundation and can’t wait to celebrate in the company of family,<br />

friends and our music industry peers,” said Marc Anthony.<br />

A multifaceted tycoon, Anthony is one of the most influential vocal performers<br />

of our times and a passionate ambassador of Latin music and culture.<br />

The chart-topping singer has sold more than 12 million albums worldwide<br />

and received numerous gold and platinum certifications from the Recording<br />

Industry Association of America. He has also been recognized by New York<br />

magazine as one of the 10 most influential New Yorkers, inaugurated into<br />

the Billboard Hall of Fame in 2012, and given a Lifetime Chair’s Achievement<br />

Award by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute in Washington D.C.in<br />

2009.<br />

Recently, Anthony co-created Maestro Cares, a non-profit that aims to help<br />

orphanages in Latin America. In April 2015, Anthony announced the formation<br />

of Magnus Media, whose operating units will include an artist management<br />

company, music publishing, digital content creation, film and television,<br />

music label, sports division, and an entertainment-centric marketing practice<br />

focused on leveraging the power of top Latino content creators worldwide.<br />

The prestigious event precedes the 17th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards®<br />

held at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Tune in to Univision Network<br />

for the live broadcast on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. CST.)<br />

Plácido Domingo, Gloria Estefan, Vicente Fernández, Juan Luis Guerra,<br />

Carlos Santana, Joan Manuel Serrat, Shakira, and Caetano Veloso, among<br />
