Ann Bolinger-McQuade is a regular contributor to magazines, a popular workshop facilitator and radio talk show guest. Ann shares her curiosity and passion for discovering the hidden obvious and encourages us to tune into the guidance and support that surrounds us
all.Bolinger-Mcquade’s perspective of the world as alive, nurturing and filled with personal oracles springs naturally from her Native American ancestry. As a child growing up in Kansas she was intrigued with the idea of having Native American ancestors, but never considered her heritage relevant to her life.
Her ancestral imprints began to emerge when a series of personal events that were triggered by her breast cancer diagnosis sent her hurling onto what she describes as an invisible moving sidewalk. (Imagine the people carriers in airports.) She believes that at certain times we all land on such a sidewalk, designed to carry us to a specific destination. This particular sidewalk transported her to a place where oracles that were hiding in plain sight seemed to magically appear at precisely the right time.
Ann coined the term personal oracles to describe those mysterious messages that guide and often comfort us, and in so doing illuminate an interconnected world that is tuned in and available to us at all times.
Ann makes her home in Tucson and Taos with the love of her life --- her husband Kenneth --- and her dogs Rusty and Pandora and a cat named Moon Boy. For the many blessings in her life she gives thanks.
Kenneth
Francis McQuade is an aerospace
engineer whose groundbreaking
applications of technology have
contributed significantly to the
advancement of the United States space
program and Twenty-first Century
navigational equipment that is in use
throughout the world. Born in London,
England, McQuade had an interest in
aviation at a young age when his father
went to fight in World War II and his
mother took him and his two siblings out
of London to avoid the bombings to live
with her mother in an apartment in
Hatfield in Hertfordshire that was
across from one of the country’s largest
aircraft manufacturers, the de Havilland
Aircraft Company. After performing well
in grammar school, Kenneth attended
Hatfield Technical College and was
employed at de Havilland and became an
Associate Fellow of the Royal
Aeronautical Society. In 1956, with his
degree in Aeronautical Engineering in
hand, Kenneth moved from England for a
job in Canada with his first wife and
their daughter and, after a few years in
Canada, he accepted a position in the
United States in the aeronautics
division of North American and later
worked with NASA, where he served as
Chief Engineer on the first Space
Shuttle. In order to meet security
clearance requirements, he became a U.S.
citizen in 1972 and his career expanded
to include creating cutting edge
technology with intelligence
capabilities for the U.S. military.
McQuade led teams to develop the first
U.S. missile defense system, night
vision and other classified systems and
the GPS navigational system that is now
a standard feature in cell phones and
cars. Most of the divisions McQuade
headed for Rockwell Aerospace were based
in the United States, although his
technical acumen was recognized
internationally. When asked what he did
for living, he classified himself simply
as a businessman. In 1982, Kenneth met
Ann Bolinger, whom he refers to as “the
love of my life,” and became a
much-loved stepfather to her three
children and adored grandfather to 15
grandchildren in the years that
followed. He remains close with his new
family in the U.S. and all of his family
in England. Though Kenneth served as
Ann’s first line reader for Everyday
Oracles and all of her articles,
Everyday Life-After-Life is the
first book he has co-authored. His
profoundly scientific understanding of
technology, space, physics, and quantum
physics infuses each page of this
manuscript. When Kenneth left his body
on September 30, 2014, he stayed, and
remains energetically and spiritually
present, facilitating the communication
of this material to his beloved partner,
Ann McQuade, scribe and amplifier of the
messages he conveys.
