I have a secret to share with you and there are no shades or hues to it. It involves making a decision, a yes or no choice, a blue pill or a red pill. There is no turning back.

My name was not always Kaz. That's right. I pulled a Prince, a P. Diddy, a Lady Gaga, a Houdini, then magic started to happen.

You see, it's about letting go of old limiting beliefs and claiming
All That Kaz
as my own personal screenplay. This simple yet monumental shift is what has fueled the new Nemecene™ World and what has attracted the following awesome people to my life, for whom I am eternally grateful.

Bob Proctor, Sandy Gallagher, Gina Hayden, Arash Vossoughi, my PGI Matrixx friends, Amy Stoehr, Glenn Garnes, Jae Rang, Gabriella Morfesis, Sylvia McConnell, RUKE, Eric Christian, Jelayne Miles, Rachel Oliver, Neil Oliver, Damon Flowers, Jody Royee, Alena Chapman, Jennifer Beale, Greg Reid, my Secret Knock friends, Lise Patry, Marg Hachey, my GroYourBiz friends, Susannah Davies, Nancy Trites Botkin, Mark Shekter, Ana Jorge, Alecia Guevarra, and many more.

I'd also like to send a special hug to my dog Lola for NOT eating the manuscript and for anchoring me in the moment that is now.

Kaz
is not an author in the traditional sense. She creates fictional worlds using any media she can shape into a richly layered vision. Her strengths have always been imagination, design, and a natural ability to connect the dots, which she weaves into beautiful tapestries that engage the senses. Kaz uses the rhythms and nuances of words to successively reveal deeper meaning behind the narrative.

Nemecene: The Epoch of Redress
is the first episode and entry point into the greater Nemecene™ World — a place where you can engage in life-changing immersive experiences that inspire and empower you to think, feel, express, connect, and act in harmony with others, nature, and our life source, water.

Kaz has a bachelor in Applied Science (engineering) from Queen's University, a fashion degree from the Richard Robinson Fashion Design Academy, certifications in personal training and hypnosis, a US patent in user interface design, an IMBD credit as director, and has written extensively on environmental issues via
WomanNotWaiting.com
,
LifeAsAHuman.com
and her philanthropy mission at
Aguacene.com
.

When she is not scheming the perfect muahahaha moment, you can find her hanging around some four-legged friends. She speaks English, French, Spanish, and is currently learning Russian. She also strives to be a recovering chocoholic, with limited success, and to look more and more like her standard poodle every day.

Do you love water? (say
yes
)

So do I.

We love water because we
are
water and pretty much everyone and everything we hold dear in our life is water.

What if every time you read a book, watched a movie, played a game, hung out, or nabbed some swag, in order to dream big with your friends inside a science fiction fantasy Nemecene™ World, you actually could define history for zigazillions of lives — human and non-human alike?

And you wouldn't have to become an activist, a kayaktivist, a slacktivist, or any other kind of -ivist...unless you wanted to juice it up a notch, of course. You can simply be a friend.

The Nemecene™ World immerses us in a future flooded by dead oceans and poisonous gases, but we don't have to manifest that. How we relate to water is the key.
