On Butterflies' Wings: An Anthology of International Escapades
On Butterflies' Wings:
An Anthology of International Escapades
Did you ever wish you could have a front row seat to history? Tania Anderson did.
With an unquenchable thirst for exploration of diverse cultures and a quest to understand “the common denominator that binds humankind,” Tania, an international flight attendant, sets out on a worldwide discovery to understand her personal truth. Relentless curiosity has led her to a fulfilling life beyond her imagination. Yes, you can travel the world, meet celebs, presidents, and even a saint, all without leaving your home.
Fly alongside this international voyager and behold historical events up close:
- Journey with Tania to Calcutta to meet Mother Teresa
- Enjoy a front row seat as Nelson Mandela receives the Congressional Gold Medal
- Watch the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis
- Meet the Dalai Lama in a New Delhi hotel corridor
- Be onboard as the US Army brings victorious soldiers home
- Witness Tania’s harrowing escape from Nigeria as she is mistaken for a CIA agent
As you travel the world with Tania, you will start to view other civilizations with new eyes.
You will reflect, become teary-eyed and experience how destitute people struggle while their elite and royals exist in a life of fantasy. Laugh at some zany shenanigans that arise thousands of miles from home.
But in the end, you will be inspired to begin your own exploration of the world while making unforgettable friends with heart-warming memories along the way.

Every Author Needs the Author Octopus Shirt
Every Author Needs the Author Octopus Shirt (And Here's Why)
Let's be honest...
Writing a book is one of the few jobs where you're expected to be an author, editor, proofreader, marketer, social media manager, graphic designer, accountant, customer service representative, website developer, public speaker, podcaster, email marketer, and somehow still find time to actually write.
If you've ever thought, "I wish I had eight arms," congratulations...
You're officially an author.
That's exactly why the Author Octopus Shirt exists.
Because Writing the Book Is Only the Beginning
Many people think an author's job ends when they type "The End."
Experienced authors know that's actually when the real work begins.
Now you need to:
- Edit your manuscript.
- Format it.
- Design a cover.
- Upload it to retailers.
- Build a website.
- Run social media.
- Schedule promotions.
- Answer emails.
- Record podcasts.
- Create videos.
- Attend book signings.
- And somehow start writing the next book.
One pair of hands suddenly feels wildly inadequate.
Enter...
The Author Octopus.
It's Funny Because It's True
The best shirts don't just make people smile.
They make people nod their heads and say,
"That's me."
Every author understands the daily juggling act of wearing multiple hats.
The octopus perfectly captures that reality.
Eight arms.
Twenty-seven projects.
Coffee in one hand.
Laptop in another.
Marketing plan over here.
Manuscript over there.
It's basically a documentary.
It's an Instant Conversation Starter
Authors love talking about books.
Readers love meeting authors.
This shirt creates conversations everywhere.
Wear it to:
- Bookstores
- Libraries
- Book festivals
- Writer conferences
- Coffee shops
- Airports
- Comic conventions
- Farmer's markets
- Anywhere readers gather
Don't be surprised if someone stops you and asks:
"So...what do you write?"
That's not just a compliment.
That's an opportunity.

Free Book Marketing (Without Saying a Word)
Marketing can be exhausting.
But your shirt can do some of the work for you.
People notice bold, funny designs.
They read them.
They smile.
They ask questions.
Every conversation becomes a chance to mention your books.
Not in a pushy way.
Just naturally.
Sometimes your best marketing tool isn't another Facebook ad.
Sometimes it's simply wearing something that makes people curious.
It Shows You're Proud to Be an Author
Authors spend months—or years—bringing stories into the world.
That's something worth celebrating.
The Author Octopus Shirt says:
"I create."
"I write."
"I keep going."
"I'm proud of what I do."
And that's something every writer should wear with confidence.
Authors Recognize Their Own
There's something special that happens when writers meet other writers.
You instantly have something in common.
Shared struggles.
Shared victories.
Shared frustrations over formatting issues.
This shirt acts almost like a secret handshake.
It lets other creatives know:
"You're one of us."
It Makes the Perfect Gift
Know someone who's publishing their first novel?
Finished NaNoWriMo?
Launching a new series?
Celebrating a bestseller?
Instead of another notebook...
Give them something they'll actually wear proudly.
It's thoughtful.
It's practical.
And it's guaranteed to earn a laugh.
The Metaphysical Side of Wearing Your Passion
There's something powerful about wearing clothing that reflects who you are.
Every time you pull on the Author Octopus Shirt, you're making a statement—not just to the world, but to yourself.
You're reminding yourself that you're a creator.
A storyteller.
Someone willing to put ideas onto paper and share them with others.
When you wear something that represents your passion, you naturally carry yourself differently.
You stand a little taller.
Smile a little more.
Talk about your work a little more confidently.
Sometimes confidence begins with something as simple as putting on the right shirt.
More Than a Shirt...
The Author Octopus Shirt isn't just cotton and ink.
It's a badge of honor.
It's a celebration of creativity.
It's a reminder that authors wear more hats than almost anyone else on the planet.
And yes...
Sometimes it really does feel like we need eight arms.
So wear it proudly.
Wear it at your next signing.
Wear it while writing your next bestseller.
Wear it to your favorite coffee shop.
Or wear it simply because another author might see you, smile, and say,
"I totally get it."
Because they do.
And if you're an author...
You probably do too.
Now, if someone could invent a coffee mug with eight handles...
We'd really be getting somewhere.

The Memory of Salt: Stories
The Memory of Salt: Stories
In many villages along the coast, the things the sea brings back to shore are not kept. But now and then the net weighs more than it should, and someone has to decide whether to open the chest or leave it closed.
A fisherman finds a chest that has been waiting for two centuries. A widow goes out night after night on a sea that has already taken her husband. A whole village keeps vigil on the beach for a boat that does not return. A man who never cries finds seven jars of salt lined up in his kitchen, each labelled in pencil. And five brothers haul up in their nets something that has come from much further away than they know.
Thirteen stories set between the Cilento coast and Mazara del Vallo, in southern Italy, where the sea is not a graveyard but an archive, and salt is its way of preserving: the names no longer spoken at table, the debts kept silent, the people one had stopped looking at.
A collection that travels the Italian South, from the salt pans of Trapani to the beach of
Mondello, from the piers of the Cilento to the fishing boats of Mazara, in a spare, oral prose made of silences, dialect and gestures. Stories of those who stay and those who leave, of fathers and sons, of what the sea keeps and what, sometimes, it gives back.

Why You Should Be Listening to the Make Peace With Life Podcast
Why You Should Be Listening to the Make Peace With Life Podcast
There are approximately 47 billion podcasts in the world.
Okay, I made that number up.
But some days it certainly feels like it.
So why should you add the Make Peace With Life Podcast to your listening list?
Because we're trying to do something a little different. We aren't here to convince you that your life is completely screwed up and that you need seventeen steps, nine supplements, three seminars, and a retreat on a mountain to fix yourself.
Our message starts somewhere much simpler:
You are not broken.
You might be confused sometimes. You might be stressed. You might make questionable decisions. You may occasionally walk into a room and completely forget why you're there.
Welcome to being human.
And that's exactly what we talk about.
Metaphysics Without Taking Ourselves Too Seriously
The Make Peace With Life Podcast explores the strange, wonderful, frustrating, funny, spiritual, energetic, and occasionally completely ridiculous adventure of being alive.
We talk about metaphysics, happiness, energy, relationships, spirituality, personal growth, music, travel, mysteries, everyday observations, and those weird little things about life that make you stop and think:
"Wait... why DO we do that?"
One episode might have us talking about positive energy and finding happiness.
Another might take us into Crystal Skulls, Bigfoot, national parks, the energy of crowds, or why relaxing can somehow become exhausting.
That's the beauty of Making Peace With Life.
Everything is connected.
And sometimes the deepest spiritual revelation arrives while you're stuck in traffic, standing in the slowest grocery-store checkout line, listening to a song you haven't heard in twenty years, or staring at a lava lamp.
Enlightenment apparently has a strange sense of humor.
We're Not Trying to Give You a Perfect Life
Perfect lives sound incredibly boring.
We'd rather help you find the extraordinary energy already hiding inside your imperfect life.
The Make Peace With Life philosophy isn't about eliminating every problem.
It's about changing your relationship with life.
Laugh more.
Explore more.
Question things.
Be curious.
Notice energy.
Stop comparing yourself to everybody else.
Find the things that make you feel alive.
And maybe become a little more comfortable with the beautifully weird person you already are.
If you finish an episode feeling a little happier, thinking about something differently, or laughing about something you hadn't considered before...
We've done our job.
But We Need Your Help
Here's where you become part of this.
We want to grow the Make Peace With Life community and get this message in front of as many people as possible.
And one of the easiest ways you can help is completely FREE.

People who are willing to explore spirituality without pretending they have every answer.
People who believe laughter has energy.
People who enjoy asking strange questions.
People who want more happiness, adventure, connection, curiosity, and fun in their lives.
And especially people who occasionally need someone to remind them:
You are not broken.
You are living.
You are learning.
You are changing.
You are figuring things out like the rest of us.

Come laugh.
Come think.
Come get a little metaphysical with us.
