Picturing World Cultures: Fabiola Ferrero – Venezuela

Picture of me as a man but not with tatoos.

Even if I am a woman am I stronger than most men in my spirit.

I don't pray for myself but have done it when the pain in my body have been too much. I see it as a weakness in me and know I was weak in those times.

Original Release Date: September 13th, 2024.

Picture Perfect

"Picture Perfect Pressure" captures the exhausting reality of maintaining a flawless social media presence. Through clever observations and self-aware lyrics, it explores the irony of spending hours trying to look effortlessly perfect online. The song builds from personal frustration to larger questions about authenticity in the digital age, speaking directly to everyone who's ever taken sixty selfies to get the "perfect casual shot." With references to filters, captions, and the constant pressure to perform, it creates a relatable anthem for the Instagram generation.

Award-winning and bestselling author Aaron Ryan lives in Washington with his wife and two sons, along with Macy the dog, Winston the cat, and Merry & Pippin, the finches.

He is the author of the bestselling "Dissonance" 6-book alien invasion saga, the post-apocalyptic saga "The End," the sci-fi thrillers "Forecast" and "The Slide," the children's picture books "The Ring of Truth," "The Sword of Joy" and "The Book of Power," the business reference business books "How to Successfully Self-Publish & Promote Your Self-Published Book" and "The Superhero Anomaly", several business books on voiceovers penned under his former stage name (Joshua Alexander), as well as a previous fictional novel, "The Omega Room."

When he was in second grade, he was tasked with writing a creative assignment: a fictional book.  And thus, "The Electric Boy" was born: a simple novella full of intrigue, fantasy, and 7-year-old wits that electrified Aaron's desire to write.  From that point forward, Aaron evolved into a creative soul that desired to create.

He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy.  In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more.  The diversity of his life experiences gives him a unique approach to business, life, ministry, faith, and entertainment.

Aaron's favorite author by far is J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also enjoys Suzanne Collins, James S.A. Corey, Michael Crichton, Marie Lu, Madeleine L'Engle, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, C.S. Lewis, Stephen King and Dave Barry.

John 16:12-13
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come I have the SPIRIT OF TRUTH in me and I will tell you and teach you what I hear from heaven.

From the start was I a healer but on my way under GOD have I been a Prophet. I have a very close relation with GOD almighty and in Arabic is it Allah.

My Youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf9oDHXrAtAWyt61h1BSWxg
In year 2000 was I on my way to make a suicide but only some minutes before I should it stood an higher Priest from heaven in my home and talked to me. ( I understood 23 years later it was an higher Priest from heaven )
He was talking about my past and I understood he had been with me on my way to earth and is he that look after me in this life.
When he had left came a voice and talked to me about my future and I understood it was GOD and what HE told me have I done and now am I walking in this over-time and let heaven / afterlife lead me as I should have been dead since year 2000.
I hear from heaven, including GOD and this Podcast is for you to learn what is going on here on earth and they in afterlife teach us what is in heaven and what they see what is going on in our life.
My main language is Swedish but I have been taught English by heaven to could give messages to the whole world.
This Podcast is owned by them in afterlife and they give healing to all my listener.
