And we use that truth to offer healing to our world.Through discussion and poetry, readers of this book open to a reflection of their own experiences as they traverse the journey of Therapeutic Touch© and of healing in general.

We all need the right people to support and help us trudge though the sewerplants or skip through the rose gardens aka you're either in the crap house or the penthouse. There has to be a sisterhood in motherhood. There just does.The book describes how falling in love for the first time after a twenty year relationship whilst trying to keep your life separate can be difficult as well as the struggle to feel relevant in each other's fast paced social world.It also looks at the trials and tribulations of online dating for a woman in her forties, describing the fast and the furious contenders of the MILF factor. Yes people it is real and it's a crazy phenomenon! The adjustment of the dating these days is a world that is all about smartphones, swiping left or right on dating apps, photo filters and likes on your social media accounts as opposed to Motorola flip phones and giggling at a bar.Whilst the book is generally a comedic take on everyone, there's the real fears you have when you're alone and it's quiet as everyone is asleep, free-to-air TV has nothing on and the Netflix remote batteries are flat.But generally the book lists how as parents, regardless of our single or attached status, there are so many other jobs we do that are not considered volunteer work, tax deductible and cannot be put on our LinkedIn profile. As a single parent, the book has a look inside the world of a clown juggling at the circus.There are chapters in this book that were originally meant to be magazine articles about women over forty on dating apps. There are just so many facets about being a woman over forty that it can't be just about dating so it became this book.The author just hopes this book is found to be entertaining to make you laugh on a plane trip or an evening after the kids go to bed.

A Place Where Dreams Come True is the real life story of divine intervention in the life of a young Iowa man. Through many hardships associated with growing up with a self-seeking father, he was forced to seek something/someone greater than himself. He knew there had to be something better than just existing in this state of emotional pain.Thomas was wondering and questioning everything in life. He was lost, with no direction. He had no answers to all of life's questions: What is our purpose? Why am I here? Is there a God?The story changes dramatically. It begins with his initial encounter with the God of the universe. Being mostly unchurched, Thomas begins to seek after a relationship with God on his own. He started reading the Bible and asking God to prove himself in his life. God likes a challenge…Right?Then the story really takes off! Thomas begins to expect God to do miracles in his life in non-traditional ways. After steps of faith, miracles began to happen. Not being used to religious orthodoxy, Thomas was learning that God is real, and if he is real, then God would prove himself. Thomas presents God as active and personal in life. Thomas encourages others to find a place where dreams come true.

Is life worth living? This is the question a small-town boy suffering from post-traumatic stress seeks to answer as he matures. Scarred by the people around him and forced into hopeless situations, he withdraws into his mind and finds peace only in the privacy of nature while the chaos of modern society threatens to overwhelm him. Panic and depression prevent him from developing his talents and foreshadow future sorrow.As the fearful boy grows into a solitary man, childhood ghosts linger, and nihilism sets in. Caustic disdain for society dominates his mind. Stuck in a dead-end job and lacking connectedness to the world, he whittles his life down to nothing and ultimately destroys the last vestiges of his spirit. Dependent on alcohol and devoid of identity, love, or purpose, he leaves his dark but familiar world behind and embarks on a journey through the mountains and deserts of the western United States to find either redemption...or death.In a bleak world where God is distant, and people are broken, is redemption possible? Count It All Joy grapples with this question in a new and unique way.

She realizes the unfortunate truth that her three young children will grow up in a divorced and broken home, and that she will have to fill the void her husband should have filled. She also realizes she cannot stay in Denver and endure her soon-to-be ex-husband and his soon-to-be new wife as they parade in and out of her life.With scarcely a backward glance, she leaves for Elmwood, the dream home of her childhood that is nestled on the South Dakota prairie near her ranching family. Expecting life to settle into a comfortable routine, she instead becomes entangled in the lures of an old enemy. He hates her dog and she hates the cat he brought as a peace offering. Despite her repeated insistence that she wants nothing to do with him, Kane Kerro is determined to be in her life.Meanwhile, back in Denver, Tennille's colorful friend, relative, and staunch supporter, Meredith Dixon, keeps her updated on the DeBeau & DeBeau family business. Meredith also pays a visit to Elmwood and meets Kane. She takes her impressions of Tennille's country life back to Denver and delightfully reports (and misreports) her opinions to Charles DeBeau and the woman of his dreams, Suzanna Parker.A crisis is brewing in the Denver office, and an equally disturbing matter is bubbling at Elmwood. A long lost friend suddenly appears, the loveable but homely mutt dog that Tennille and her children love disappears, and Tennille's continuing nightmares of a circling wolf seem to indicate that evil is near and about to strike.The DeBeau children add their own chaos to the mix, and it becomes evident to the country neighbors that likeable Doc Wilson has a special place in his heart for three little kids growing up without their dad. Fishing trips, church affairs, and cattle work keep Doc, the kids, the ever present Thin Dog, and Tennille in close contact. And if that weren't enough, Charles DeBeau makes an impromptu visit to Elmwood that quickly turns into a disaster.During all the ups and downs in her life, Tennille maintains a lively conversation with her reflection in the mirror. Her honesty and humor about her situation and her emotions will resonate with everyone who has loved and lost. She discovers peace of mind in the ancient words of the Bible, but wonders if she can ever become the woman God intends her to be, especially when the woman in the mirror reminds her of her glaring misdeeds concerning her husband. She tries, she really does. Even when she imagines that he kidnapped her children, even when they argue and she hits him, even when she wants to lock him out of her house, Tennille DeBeau reflects her williness to pursue the higher ground of Christian maturity.If Mirrors Could Talk is an easy read complete with humor, loveable kids, and tender moments. Suspense and the edge of mystery keep it a page turner. Why did Tennille's best friend disappear for so many years?

She argues a court would look kindly on his cooperation. On the other hand, if he refuses, she vows to continue to use all her resources to take him down.As the assignments progress, Maggie learns there is far more to this man than his hostile trading-desk persona. While searching for clues about the illegal trade, she discovers that he is hiding his past and leading a secret, second life, including an insatiable and unexplained need for money. The mystery of the man only intensifies her desire to uncover the truth. Concurrently, the target criminals behind each assignment grow progressively ruthless. The stings are thus, increasingly dangerous. Lives, including Blackie's are at risk.

A graphic medicine book looking at how Psychoanalytic, Jungian, Feminist, Narrative, and Mindfulness theory address Vicarious Trauma. Each of these theoretical concepts has something to offer in how to process difficult experiences. Are you feeling unable to integrate what you hear from your clients? It keeps you up at night? You are isolating from your friends and family because you are so exhausted? You have become more spiritual or agnostic trying to make sense of the pain and suffering you have heard about? All of these are common responses of Vicarious Trauma. Your told by your boss to remember "Self Care" but nothing seems to bring you back to the self you were before you started direct services work. At the end of each section, there is a directive to help you put theory into practice and take a deeper look at why these stories are impacting you.Drawing on my eight years as an Internship Supervisor for a Masters in Counseling, everything in this book has been tested and reworked with folks working with our most vulnerable populations. I would see students turn from bright-eyed new clinicians to dragging themselves to their placement sites and class feeling utterly hopeless about the system, their clients ability to "get better" and who they were as therapists. I had the term Vicarious Trauma, even felt it myself, seen it in my coworkers, but something there was something different watching it in weekly three hour chunks, one a face of a student paying a lot of money to train to be a therapist. I began researching protocols, of which there are many and no one has heard of them, and creating my own.

Hunter Burke, now a General, kept track of his elite group of soldiers searching and hoping for the right opportunity to bring them together one last time. Finally the perfect mission has presented itself. Will they be willing, will they be able, or has too much time passed? Can he remind these retired even forgotten folks of their service, without bringing back the pain of their last mission? Can he help them find their heros hearts again?

Without a decision to change, personal growth can be hard. It can even seem impossible. No matter what area of life you want to work on (relationships, physical health, job, career, spirituality,) very little will happen unless you decide--I mean really decide--to change.A decision helps to shield the mind from our limiting stories, fictions we whisper to ourselves and come to believe in. "I'm not smart enough," we may say. "I don't have time." "I'm too busy." The list goes on.We all indulge in these stories. The problem lies in our not recognizing it. Led along blindly, we keep ourselves stuck. We keep ourselves small.A firm decision to change dulls the power of these stories and loosens their grip on the mind. Once we realize that we have decided to believe the story, we can decide to believe something empowering instead. Happily, we always have a choice.There are as many limiting stories out there as there are human beings. In this book, we go through fifteen of the most common, discussing why each one is not true and identifying empowering statements you could choose to believe instead. Also, we highlight different ways you can act on these empowering statements and the benefits of doing it. The rewards can be substantial; you can transform yourself radically and set yourself on the path to a completely different life.First, though, have you made a decision?

Un voyage passionnant à travers l'histoire, le discours socio-économique et la discussion philosophique. Ce livre vous guidera, en utilisant une approche holistique, pour trouver le vrai bonheur. Cet ouvrage a le potentiel de bouleverser votre façon de penser, non pas en vous donnant de nouvelles règles de vie, mais en vous exposant à des concepts, des philosophies et une façon de penser (par vous-même) qui n'était peut-être pas aussi évidente auparavant.Offrant une abondance d'information et de stimulations sur plusieurs sujets clés, il décompose le bonheur en trois parties (l'argent, l'amour et la santé), qui ont le pouvoir de nous rendre heureux quand les choses vont bien, mais aussi la capacité de nous rendre vraiment malheureux dans le cas contraire. L'étymologie du mot "bonheur" signifie "bien vivre". Ce qui en découle, c'est que si vous "vivez bien", vous trouverez le bonheur et la raison pour laquelle la plupart des gens pensent qu'ils seront heureux s'ils sont riches, amoureux et en bonne santé est que ces trois choses, c'est-à-dire l'argent, l'amour et la santé, favorisent le bien-être.Notre Quête du bonheur commence en suivant des exemples historiques et actuels de héros des temps anciens et des temps modernes, ceux qui ont réussi dans leurs propres quêtes. L'idée est d'encourager le lecteur à avoir l'état d'esprit d'un explorateur, car les explorateurs sont un type particulier d'être humain. Ils ont de l'endurance physique - ils ont de la force mentale - ils ont beaucoup de détermination et un sentiment d'attachement profond à leur mission et surtout ils ont foi dans leur poursuite. L'auteur a poussé ce concept d'exploration un peu plus loin. Les explorations géographiques ont des limites alors que l'exploration de nous-mêmes en tant qu'être humain est infinie. L'auteur invite ses lecteurs à se tourner vers l'intérieur, parce que lorsque vous vous tournez vers l'intérieur, c'est là où vous trouvez votre propre trésor.Vous serez séduit, surpris et inspiré par ce livre. Les mots ont de la profondeur, le récit est extraordinaire et le message à la fois tendre et provocateur. Êtes-vous prêt pour votre Quête ?

They are always with us, waiting to be asked for their wisdom and help! This book will teach you how to connect with them.God isn't confused, but sometimes we are, and so we need guidance. We are called to learn a lot from nature. Imagine sitting on a river back overlooking a river. See how it flows in one direction? Imagine that your life training has taught you to go against the natural current - to go upstream, give to others when you're depleted, and pretend you are happy and spiritual when that's not how you truly feel.

We might ask questions like: Where is God, or my Higher Source, in my time of need? , "Why do bad things happen to good people?" , "Why can't my body heal?" , "Why can't my lifestyle improve?" , or "If I was born with a purpose and passion, why is it so hard for me to find it?"In this book, these questions are answered by seeing your life from a higher, more pure perspective.

May you embrace your true self with great curiosity for the mystery and mastery that lies within you.Georgie Anna Holbrook is an internationally recognized Blessing Creator, she interprets the emotions behind health issues, along with being a personal and professional guide.

Doing yoga as an older woman can transform how you feel about yourself and how you view aging. "Yoga really changed me. It helped me open my heart and mind, and expand as a person," Rayna Griffin, 67, told me. "I'm digging deeper now. I'm learning, growing and discovering more about myself every day."Rayna is one of the ten women featured in YOGINI: Ageless Women, Timeless Tradition. These women's stories include narratives of physical and emotional healing, of overcoming adversity, and of spiritual renewal. These women come from all parts of the United State, study in different yoga traditions, and range in age from 63 to 85.This is the first book that explores what yoga means to older women through their personal stories and examines what makes yoga so compelling, so necessary and so gratifying as they get older. As baby boomers age, the svelte, young things on the cover of Yoga Journal will no longer act as role models. The women featured here can serve that purpose.Some women are trying yoga for the first time at age 65 or 70; others have come back to yoga at that age after a hiatus of 20 or 30 years. Still others, like Ana Franklin, have been practicing consistently for 50 years. What keeps her practicing after all these years? "I could have gone off the deep end if I didn't have my practice," she said. "My practice kept me sane and alive."In this book, you'll also meet women who only go to class once a week but have incorporated the principles of yoga into their lives. Women like this are living their yoga, what's known as "off the mat," even though they may only be "on the mat" once a week (practicing in class or at home). What counts is how important yoga is to them, how passionate they feel about it, and how pervasive its principles are to their actions and behaviors.A painter and sculptor, whom you'll meet in this book, had lost all inspiration until she discovered yoga. It liberated her and inspired her in new ways. Another woman refused to leave her house for a year after her husband died until her neighbors dragged her to a yoga class. It turned her life around.What's different about these stories is that the women are all beyond midlife. They are practicing regularly at an age when conventional wisdom says they are too old for yoga, and they are receiving its many benefits. To name a few: strength, flexibility, and balance as well as the calm and peace of mind that are so important as they get older and face the many challenges that accompany aging.For each of the ten women, yoga opened a new path later in life. Despite their advancing years, they are still growing and learning and evolving in mind, body and spirit. Yoga is what keeps them young and vital. This is what can keep you young and vital.If you're over 65 and not doing yoga yet, these stories may motivate you to give it a try. No matter your body size or shape or your health issues, yoga can guide you and support you in the years ahead. Let these ten remarkable women inspire you so that you, too, can reap the benefits of practicing the timeless tradition of yoga.

The Sun Also Rises invites the reader to embark on a philosophical journey. The journey was initiated by World War I. Because of the war, the story's protagonist, Jake Barnes, suffers an injury that prevents him from having sexual relationship with the woman he loves, thus preventing them from fully realizing their relationship as a couple. The tragedy of the war apparently invalidated for Jake the Grand Narrative of Christianity that clearly played an important part in his life before the war. Jake is a member of the post-war "lost generation" caught up in a profligate, discordant way of life. Unlike his friends, however, Jake seeks an alternative philosophy of life that offers other sources of meaning. It is through Jake's philosophical quest that the novel does more than present the post-Grand Narrative condition and the postmodern culture it produced. It suggests an alternative worldview that is not only meaningful but really is the only authentic life-enhancing option for humanity. In doing so, the novel introduces the ontology, ethics, and aesthetics of this worldview.What the haiku poet Matsuo Basho; reveals is a form of love that is universal yet personal. It expresses a sympathetic rather than a romantic relationship between the perceiver and the perceived. His love of the world is heartfelt and spiritual. His poetry reveals a worldview that gives humanity a unique and essential cosmic role to play. There is a purity to Basho's poems that is rare in literature. If The Sun Also Rises begins the philosophical journey to answer the question of what worldview offers human beings the most meaningful and unique form of self-realization, Basho's poetry and life are the journey's destination.The readers of Transcending the Abrahamic Religions: The Philosophies of The Sun Also Rises and Basho Poetry will embark on an intellectual odyssey that will introduce them to Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, the scientific worldview, philosophy of religion, ethics, aesthetics, logic, epistemology, philosophy of language, phenomenology, existentialism, and rhetoric. Their final destination will be a worldview that is true, humane, and meaningful.

It's obvious to most Christians that we are living in a society that has become increasingly intolerant of Biblical morals and standards. The progressive amorality of our culture is being promulgated through the educational system, political agendas and the entertainment industry. This is not a new condition by any means. The historical accounts in the Bible attest to the antagonism of the unbelieving world to the ideals established for man by God. What has been somewhat unusual in this generation, is the degree to which this amorality and immorality has penetrated the Christian church using deceptive techniques and twisted theology to gain acceptance. False preachers have introduced "another Gospel" and are multiplying disciples rapidly across the nation.We have not been left in the dark on this issue. Jude, the brother of James and half-brother of Jesus, wrote a letter to the church dealing with this very issue. In it, he uses an inspired, pointed style to open the curtain and expose the apostate preachers who were infiltrating even the first century church. In this book, pastor Tom attempts to merge some of his own experiences as a pastor with contemporary examples of modern-day preachers gone amuck, with clear, practical and incisive interpretation of this final epistle written to the church.This book was written to warn believers as well as offer help in making sense out of the changing church climate in America. If you have wondered why the modern church has changed so much over the last decade, and have become skeptical to the organized church, this book is a must read. Pastor Tom goes through the epistle of Jude phrase-by-phrase, verse-by-verse, to make it easier to understand while making application to the current church atmosphere. Let, We were warned! arm you to do battle along-side other believers, and encourage you to keep seeking truth, defending the Gospel and remaining faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ.

In the 16th century the vampire nation was on the rise in Spain. In order to protect their interests, they found refuge and power within the confines of the Catholic Church. Over time it grew in strength, eventually consuming the duties and responsibilities of the Inquisition, twisting and perverting them to their own purpose. With the power and influence of the church behind them, the nation began to expand its empire by broadening its influence and searching out others of its kind.The greatest threat to the nation did not come from outside, but from within it. A disease they coined "Blood Lust" had appeared. Those who became infected would break out in uncontrollable feeding frenzies. Wherever this happened, the Inquisition stormed in to prevent knowledge of these horrific events from escaping by declaring the village and all of its inhabitants as heretic's thus killing them as servants of Satan and leaving the village engulfed in flames. This was done with the blessings and resources of the church. They were after all the Inquisition and therefore went unquestioned.One such vampire was Oserith Fisherday. An Irish knight of the Fourth Crusade who went by the name of Oz. During his time with the crusade, he met Elijah, another vampire suffering from the same uncontrollable callings of the Blood Lust. Together they travel the world hiding from the inquisition that now fears them, knowing the damage the two could cause to their very existence.
