The WellBalance Institute for Positive Wellbeing proudly announces the launch of The WellBalance Way: Discover Your Unique Path to a Centered Life, its foundational book introducing the WellBalance Model of Positive Wellbeing and how to use it to transform your life. Written by Harvard-trained scientist, published researcher, and WellBalance founder Troy W. Norris, this essential guide provides a science-backed roadmap to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, meaning, joy and fulfillment.
Drawing from decades of research in positive psychology and lived experience, The WellBalance Way offers a clear framework to create balance across body, mind, relationships, and purpose. Readers are guided through the WellBalance Life Lotus, key Positivity Principles, and a complete set of Mindful Positivity Practices, together designed to help individuals create their most flourishing lives and build resilience through awareness, alignment, balance and breadth.
“This book is both deeply personal and scientifically grounded,” said Troy Norris, Founder of WellBalance and the WellBalance Institute for Positive Wellbeing. “I wrote this from my own experience with positive psychology to bring the science of wellbeing off the page and into people’s lives. The book offers practical steps, inspiration and encouragement that meets readers where they are right now in their lives, enabling them to become who they are meant to be and create the lives they are meant to live.

Nashville Lavender Pioneer Gigi de Lugo Secures Majority Ownership of Permanent Farm in Joelton, Tennessee
Lloyd Traven, President of Peace Tree Farm, the original breeder of these global-standard varieties, praises de Lugo’s early foresight and influence:
“Over a period of the last decade, Gigi has been highlighting our introductions that have become the Gold Standard for lavender worldwide, and she was an early proponent because she saw the extra value of these introductions… Once she knew the plants were different and far superior, she committed to making the right choice for her customers. She can now proudly say that she has started over 30 new farms on their journey across an area ranging from Virginia through to Iowa!”
From its original rented fields in Whites Creek—Gigi’s Lavender, was celebrated by “Garden & Gun” magazine as one of the South’s top lavender destinations—the licensed nursery has supplied thousands of Peace Tree-bred plants throughout Tennessee and beyond. In 2019, de Lugo founded “The Lavender Exchange (TLx),” an exclusive membership alliance offering ongoing technical support, resource sharing, cooperative marketing, and agritourism promotion to farms that source their plants exclusively from Gigi’s Nursery.
Traven also highlights the impact of this network: “Gigi also knows the great importance and value of marketing with expression of clear benefits and a clear message. She created the Lavender Exchange with this in mind—to provide an outlet for cooperative marketing and sharing of equipment and machinery and product ideas.”
This strengthened ownership ensures continuity for de Lugo’s research, educational outreach, and product innovation at the Joelton location, including her newest Patent Pending offering, “ZWave Mg”—a topical magnesium spray infused with pure Phenomenal lavender hydrosol steam-distilled exclusively from flowers grown by TLx member farms. Designed for relaxation, muscle relief, and better sleep, ZWave Mg showcases the wellness potential of Southern-grown lavender.
“This milestone gives us the stability and security to continue investing in our Southern lavender research, development, product distribution, and growing community of the farms we support through The Lavender Exchange (TLx),” said Gigi de Lugo. “From the beginning I set out to prove lavender could become a viable cash crop for Tennessee and Southern farms—not only a pretty agritourism field, but a real harvestable commodity built on Phenomenal®. It took courageous pioneers willing to bet on the unproven and stay the course with me. These years, alongside the extraordinary farmers of our TLx family, have been one of the greatest adventures of my life.”
Experience the pure essence of Southern lavender: Gigi’s premium products, including the breakthrough ZWave Mg, are available exclusively through her website, and retail partners across Tennessee. Gigi is in discussion with a Nashville based manufacturer to expand her ZWave Mg production capacity for 2026.
About Gigi’s Lavender Nursery & Farm
Gigi’s Lavender Nursery & Farm is a Tennessee-licensed grower and an exclusive Southeast source for Peace Tree Farm’s Phenomenal®, Sensational!®, Exceptional!®, Inspirational!® lavender cultivars. It serves as headquarters for The Lavender Exchange (TLx), a premier network advancing lavender agriculture and agritourism across the South and Midwest.

New Suspense Thriller “Cyber-Psycho Chronicles Take Film Festivals by Storm with 100+ Awards in Only 18 Festivals
Thrilling new web series explores the dark side of digital obsession and online surveillance — a modern psychological suspense story gripping audiences worldwide.
Independent filmmaker and Rowlett resident Harry Keane and his team are capturing the attention of audiences and critics around the globe with his bold new suspense series, Cyber-Psycho Chronicles. Filmed entirely in Rowlett and Garland, Texas, the series has already earned over 100 awards in just 18 international film festivals, signaling a breakout success for both Keane and his Texas-based production company, GemStar Studios LLC.
Cyber-Psycho Chronicles tells the unsettling story of a tech-savvy predator who weaponizes the internet to stalk his victims. The series’ chilling realism taps into society’s growing fear of privacy invasion and online vulnerability — a theme resonating deeply with today’s digital generation.
Texarkana actor Kevin Williams delivers a haunting performance as the title character, while Cortina Jackson stars as Detective Waters and Mathieu Caviness plays FBI Agent Mendez, both desperate to track down the elusive killer. Actress Samantha Makley portrays Lily, one of the stalker’s unsuspecting targets whose life becomes a terrifying descent into paranoia and fear.
Series Tagline:
He’s Always Watching. He’s Always There. He Sees You Online.
Beware of the Unknown. Who Can You Trust?
It’s Already Too Late.
The project’s first episode, already making waves across international festivals, serves as a teaser pilot designed to attract platform partners and distributors for the full series release. A premiere date and streaming announcement are expected in the coming months.
“We wanted to craft a story that reflects the fears of our connected world — where identity, privacy, and obsession collide,” said Keane. “Cyber-Psycho Chronicles isn’t just entertainment. It’s a wake-up call about how far we’ve let technology into our lives.”
With its blend of psychological tension, real-world relevance, and striking Texas cinematography, Cyber-Psycho Chronicles stands as a gripping indie triumph — proving that powerful storytelling can come from unexpected places.
