Kids and Kubs player Sibbi Caliendo authors book

You would think life for a 78-year-old softball player would be a slow, easy slide into home plate. However, the past has molded the body into a unique style of living, clearing the calendar of life's responsibilities as father/mother, son, daughter; he now has time on his hands to do things postponed for so many years.

The Three-Quarter Century Softball Club has a membership packed with personalities and careers that continue to give. One example of this is Sibbi Caliendo. The 78year old with the number 23 on his uniform has played the game of softball for 55 years.

This pitcher/first baseman has overcome a double-knee replacement on the ballfield and has scooted around all four bases for a home run on an outfielder miscue. We all probably did that a time or two in our younger days. But, at age 78, on two artificial knees. I don't think so.

Caliendo is not only a positive thinker and doer. He is a man of courage who passes on his secret in his book "The Phenomenon of Healing Through Intentional Love." In his self-published book via Amazon Press, available in Kindle and Pocketbook format.

Dr. Caliendo offers his rationale on what he believes can occur from the perspective of one's state of consciousness during the phenomenon of healing when intentional love is employed.

Dr. Sebastian Caliendo received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic. Bachelor of Elective Sciences, master's degree in biology and Nutrition from Bridgeport University. Acupuncture degree from The New Center. Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition and a Diplomate. The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

Caliendo noted that funds raised by the book (Kindle Version $14.95 paperback $19.95) go to the Tunnel To Towers Foundation. The funds support the mission of providing mortgage-free "smart" homes and paying off existing mortgages for first responders and war vets who have sacrificed life and limb for their country. Early indications are that Dr. Caliendo's effort will bring a good revenue stream to the Tunnel To Towers Foundation. The offseason will find the Long Island, New York-born doctor doing a radio show and three podcasts in his home state. That schedule is likely to grow during the next few months.
