Paco refuses, opting to follow his dream of singing. Driven from his home by his father's ultimatum, Paco is lured into a world of political deception where his musical abilities land him on the wrong side of the law... and deeply in love. Having to run for his life and freedom. Escaping to the Andes, fate leads him to a mystical Inca shaman, who teaches him how to follow his heart and his inner voice. He is confronted with the decision; to have a heart that bleeds forever, or choose the path where there's no more bleeding - even if it means death.

"e;Inspiring journey into the heart of a destiny fuelled by passion and redeemed by love, our ultimate Destiny."e;- Natalie B Becker, Award-winning actress, presenter, author and speaker. This novel is about following your dreams and pursuing your destiny to the end. Why did it come to me? Who am I to tell such a story? I've always asked myself these questions I'm no shaman. I'm no wise man. I don't have a PhD, nor have I written a dozen books. However, the one thing I've always done is to follow my inner voice, the voice of my heart. Except, almost, for that one August night The One (as God is called in the book) speaks to all of us uniquely. That fateful night, He spoke to me and I told Him to leave me alone; I was too tired. I wasn't prepared to listen. I told Him 'I had a life.' Thank heavens, (excuse the pun), The One is persistent. I needed a hurricane in my earlobe before I took notice. I have since learned my lesson and a whisper now is more than sufficient. I guess He had something to say and He chose me for a reason. I know that one day, I'll find out. Until then, I will feel blessed and grateful for His choice of messenger. We all have bleeding hearts. We aren't born with them - we make them bleed as we grow older. We make our hearts bleed with our ego, our arrogance, our fear, our hate, and all those negative feelings. But there is a remedy for a bleeding heart and it's not material. You can't buy it and you can't get it from someone else. It is no secret, and it's free. There's only one thing that can cure a bleeding heart. That remedy is Love. This is a story about Love.

It all started when my daughter Kimmy sent me a text message saying: “Grampa (my father) is back in hospital. I don’t know how bad it is, I’m trying to find out. It was Helen (Dads wife) who phoned me and of course she’s frantic. If I find out more I’ll let you know, love Kim”.‘Hell’, I know what this means. For now though I’m going to do my best to resist as I have been there before. But in my heart of hearts I know that I must go back to Australia and do what must be done. I arrived in South Africa only three weeks earlier on a two-month visit to my family and also to house-sit my son’s place whilst he and his family were on holiday in Europe. I SMSed Kim back and said that “I’ll phone Helen and see how she is.” I knew Kim was not going to be happy, as she would have liked me to have said, “OK, I’m on my way to take control”, but for now it will have to do. The minute Helen picked up the phone I knew that I could not unduly delay my return but I needed to until Lance and his family returned in another four days’ time. As I talk to her, I know of old, the quivering voice and could imagine her hands shaking, claw-like as she works through a panic attack. As a result of her illness she has virtually no body fat, I could see her face with the shrunken-skin stretched drum tight, accentuating the protruding, pointed cheekbones, with her hazel eyes – small coffee beans in their large sockets. I know the despairing stare and the pain that those eyes contain. I could hear the tears in her eyes and I shudder. Her words were incongruous with this memory as she says, “It’s okay, ...I can... cope”. We both know that she can’t. I promised to phone back the next day and monitor her.

"...that you and I are not the physical beings we tend to think of ourselves, but rather energy bodies existing within a giant ball of God Energy, living in a state of constant movement and flux. The truth is that we are each a part of the whole that is constantly interacting with itself through the shifting and flowing of God Energy. All we need to do to break through this is to find the spiritual art that best suits us and let it transform us with our daily practice. Though you may not realise it, you are an artist of the highest degree. You are a potter of the finest material. Your medium is not earth and mud. You are an artist of potential.

There might just be one constant and constantly overlooked population in our global community - irritable working women. Most of them work, and most of them cook. And there are occasions when this may happen without the customary good grace implied in most cookbooks. Generally cookbooks are written with a love of food or a love of devoted obedience to the ritual of sourcing ingredients, sharp-eyed shopping and paying homage to every last instruction in the book. There are cookbooks from every corner of the globe, for nail-biting newly-weds, raising your children to win the Nobel Prize, the great outdoors, religious purists, vegetarian or vegan, baking in a bundt pan or building your own clay oven. But these weighty and worthy tomes fail to address the humour of the people who have to do the work. The Irritable Working Woman's Cookbook offers a fresh approach to a sometimes stale topic. These are recipes for women who work, who may or may not love their jobs, and who may not always be in the best humour at the end of the day. The book takes a disrespectful look at the powers governing today's working woman, and offers recipes that are easy and nourishing or complicated and time-consuming, aiming to take her mind off her working woes. The book is also anecdotal, sharing cooking customs from the author's homesick Scottish granny to her resourceful Lithuanian grandmother. There are recipes for traditional Jewish specialities, common-sense cooking, new-age food for novices, classic desserts and cakes that will make you turn cartwheels. Along the way Shea Albert divulges her own journey to gourmet graduation, as well as the most outstanding cooking and people of her life's experience. This book has been written with working women in mind. And they are sometimes irritable. I don't know anyone who comes home euphoric and ready to whip on an apron, whip up a souffl or whip off her clothes. If you are depressed, food will cheer you up. Here are fast, easy dishes to nourish your spirit and uplift your body. Or vice versa. If you are still depressed, behold recipes that are more time consuming and guaranteed to take your mind off your troubles - but you have to pay attention. If you hate cooking I can't understand why you bought this book. Perhaps you are in search of a kindred sort of irritability. If you don't get satisfaction from cooking, head over to Nandos. If you like junk food, go to KFC. If you are too depressed to lift up a ladle, go to Woolworths (if you're an irritable working woman, I assume you can pay for the privilege). If you are a working man who has managed to compartmentalise everything in the universe, welcome aboard. Just store the contents under 'Cooking' and 'Emotion'. Some cooks are courageous, some are inspired. I followed recipes for most of my life but developed intuition as I went along. My daughter practiced alchemy without a cookbook. I include her favourite recipes here, so she can inspire you too. 'Hospitality is one form of worship,' says the Talmud. And that's true. When visitors' faces light up at the mere thought of your food, who cares about the crabby nitpickers at the office.
This book is called Towards a Soulful Sexuality because it is an initial step in the direction of a destination towards which I believe we should journey. This is a renewed consciousness of a feminine sexual holiness firmly grounded in our bodies and our psyches that should apply throughout a women's life, even, and most especially, in the post-menopausal years. The i rst steps must be to know why you should take the journey at all. For this I offer my Manifesto that informs and explains the cultural, historical background to our deep ambivalences around these matters. It attempts to separate fact from i ction regarding the nature of sex, love and spirituality, women's sexual anatomy and the concept (and history) of menopause & aging. This book represents my sincere attempt to work towards a soulful sexuality. To start with, we are required to review, redei ne and re-imagine our core beliefs and feelings around these subjects. The Manifesto incorporates three condensed histories full of intriguing facts: past perceptions of menopause and stereotypes of aging women; the history of female sexual anatomy, modern Western sexology and Eastern esoteric secrets; andoverviews the essential nature of sex, from the physical to the metaphysical, to challenge your core beliefs about body, mind, spirit - and sex. I then encourage you to re-examine your own sexuality and be prepared to heal your deepest psychic wounds. In this respect I offer a short Self-Assessment Questionnaire so that you can review your sexual self to determine how 'clear' you may be on sexual issues? The Healing Workbook "e;Working with my Sexuality"e; is a personal program of rei ections, memories, exercises and meditations that will enable you to better understand your own personal patterns and history around the issues raised in the Manifesto. Having read the Manifesto and completed the Healing Workbook, you can say at best, that you are en route to or on the way towards to a more soulful sexuality. There is much more to read, personal issues to heal, techniques to learn, meditations to practice and awareness to raise, wisdoms to internalize. It is still a i eld being uncovered by psychologists, spiritual teachers, body practitioners, sexologists and others. I hope you enjoy your journey towards Intelligent, thought-provoking and delightfully candid, Towards a Soulful Sexuality: new perspectives of sex, age & menopause for women 35 to 60 plus by Adele Gruber separates fact from fiction in regards to a woman's sexuality after menopause. With startling insights and meticulous documentation, this bold proposal proves to be a fascinating and celebratory examination of what it should mean to be an older woman in the twenty-first century. A truly revolutionary book that brilliantly distils history, anatomy, sexology, psychology, and even quantum physics into remarkable and powerful suggestions to prompt adult women to re-examine the nature of sex, love and spirituality. Comprised of a manifesto, a healing workbook, and a self-assessment. Author Adele Gruber shares a unique perspective of the menopausal experience and offers a radically different approach to ageing gracefully as a soulful, spiritual Woman. She invites you to explore your soul and your sexuality by recognizing their very essence as primordial and sacred. If you want to be sexual forever-spiritually, conscious, and filled with joy until the very end-read this book.
