--- Featuring Click the Name to access the Segment below 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host of Women's Spaces 2. Guest: Ana Diaz, Advocate for Farmworkers 3. Guest: Dr. Andrea Hall-Milller, Author, Metaphysician, former nurse ---- ---- 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: I have a very special guest this morning. Joining me in the studio is Dr. Andrea Hall=Miller, PhD, RN, MA, and freelance writer. Andrea is also the Director of Community Engagement for the North Bay Black Chamber of Commerce. We will be talking about her journey from nurse to author. I know this is going to be a lively and informative interview. Announcements – First of all I want to thank everyone who helped me celebrate my Birthday. It made me feel so warm and fuzzy when I saw all the Happy Birthday’s on FB. A shout out to Alicia Sanchez and everyone at the station, after the show they surprised me with cupcakes and candles and flowers. Dinner with my family. I was really touched when receiving a special handmade Birthday card from my Great Granddaughter Satori and you know how creative five years olds are. I found out she loves Giraffe’s and told me about my animal for my B/D was the Giraffe. So, I decided since I have a guest who like me is into metaphysics. I thought I would look up the metaphysical meaning of the Giraffe and this is what I found. Wow, in African myths and folklore, the giraffe is believed to possess mystical and magical powers. It is seen as a messenger between humans and the spirits, capable of accessing realms beyond the reach of ordinary creatures. The giraffe is also associated with the power of intuition and the ability to see things from a higher perspective. Thank you all for sending me such loving messages. Shout out to the SOCO National Organization for Women (NOW) Kirstyne Lange of the NAACP did a fabulous presentation. If you want to see her presentation visit www.nowsonoma.org . I have a special guest with some great news, joining me on the phone is Ana Diaz who is a member of the Commission on the Status of Women and Trustee on the Board for the Roseland School District in Santa Rosa. ---- 2. Our first Guest, Ana Diaz, announces the honoring of the farmworkers by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors (BOS), to take place Tuesday, March 26, 2024 at 1:30 PM in their Chamber. A gold resolution naming this week Farmworkers Awareness Week in Sonoma County will be presented to the BOS. She mentioned that while the Supervisors have a holiday on Caesar Chavez's birthday, the farmworkers are working in the fields. They also worked during the wildfires and Covid lockdown. The Commission on the Status of Women, concerned about women working in the fields, encouraged the BOS to take this action. Cesar
Chavez Day is a U.S. federal
commemorative holiday,
proclaimed by President
Barack Obama in 2014.[1] The
holiday celebrates the birth
and legacy of the civil
rights and labor movement
activist Cesar Chavez on
March 31 every year.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesar_Chavez_Day National Farmworker Awareness Week (NFAW) is a week of action for communities and individuals to bring attention to farmworkers and honor them for the contributions they make to our daily lives. Source: https://afop.org/nfaw/ - report by Ken Norton, Co-Producer, Women's Spaces About our first Guest: Born in Santa Rosa and raised in the Roseland area, Ana Diaz has resided in the community for the entirety of her life. Her familial ties to the region date back to 1958 when her grandfather, Elias Garcia, immigrated from Cotija, Michoacan and toiled as a farm worker for numerous years. Ana presently holds the elected position of a school board trustee for the Roseland School District. Prior to her current endeavors, she served as an executive legal assistant at an all-women law firm. Her professional repertoire includes a certification in the Children in the Justice System, and she is currently pursuing degrees in Sociology and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Additionally, Ana is fervently dedicated to becoming a certified herbalist and advocating for farm workers. Ana is a former commissioner on the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women.

3. Our
second Guest, Dr. Andrea
Hall-Miller, describes
how she became an author on
metaphysics upon retiring from
ICU nursing, or in her words:
“From Scrubs to Scripts: A
Nurse's Journey into
Metaphysical Writing!” Andrea’s
father was a pastor of a
Christian church in Santa Rosa.
However, the theology of hell
scared her, and she felt that
God being Love all the time and
everywhere left no time or place
for hell. Metaphysics helped her
to see that the notion of hell
is metaphorical and should not
dilute now as Life. Andrea
studied Heart Math, a teaching
that offers techniques of
breath, meditation, and
visualization to bring one’s
physical, mental, and emotional
systems into coherent alignment.
Doing so one experiences
increased access to the heart’s
intuitive guidance and
equanimity amid storms. She felt
metaphysics brings her closer to
Go than religion did. Andrea
knew a woman who had a past of
drug use who wanted to give her
newborn baby away to protect him
from a hell that she felt was
certainly her fate because of
her past. Andrea learned in
nursing how important it was to
love herself before she could
truly care for others. Her older
twin sisters used to write and
tell each other stories. Andrea
remembers that one of her
sisters would include an extra
“o” in her spelling of God,
since God is good. Sin means
missing the mark, and
forgiveness allows one to move
forward in the unity of God and
good.
About our Guest: Dr.
Andrea Hall-Miller, the
youngest of twelve children,
was born and raised in Santa
Rosa, CA., where her parents had
moved from San Francisco to
pastor a Church. Her earliest
memories include being in church
for many hours and following her
mother, also a nurse, who
inspired her to become a nurse. Guest Link: Website of Dr. Andrea Hall-Miller and her books: https://litnurse.com/ Email Dr. Andrea Hall-Miller: andrea@litnurse.com Reference Link: Heart Math website: www.heartmath.com ----
