Tom Wethers is a simple man living a simple life. But due to a change in prosperity and lifestyle, he finds himself in a place where the unimaginable can and does happen to him-and where his heart leads him in a direction he never thought possible. All his loved ones have forgiven him, but he soon realises that forgiving himself will be his most difficult challenge. His change of heart opens new doors and introduces him to new individuals and new accomplishments. The doors remain open for him to enter and exit as he pleases, but he cannot keep the individuals under control. His accomplishments help him; they steer him in the right direction, one that could fix the depressive thoughts that plague him. But it is his accomplishments that are the causes for Tom's depression. The individuals who come out of all of his accomplishments clutter his mind and, more importantly, his heart. Only time will tell if he'll be able to get his life back in order. In this novel, a man serving as a lifeline for others finds an unexpected love in the midst of a deep depression.

When E. E. Cummings talks about "the deepest secret nobody knows," he is talking about love and how love keeps the world, the cosmos even, from falling apart. Here is another "deepest secret nobody knows": Studying grammar can be very enjoyable and life-enriching, and it is vital for every human earthling who wants to think and vote. Why is studying grammar important? Because language is all-powerful and because language is controlled by grammar - by syntax, to be more precise. Although syntax is at the heart of all that matters in human affairs, this book doesn't want to be (nor can it be) a definitive study of English syntax. Nor does it want to reveal "truth." Instead, the book invites you to go on a journey, to enter a process, to become aware of your dynamic relationship with language and life.While this book is an invitation to a journey, it's also a snapshot view of an ongoing dance. And it's a hands-on map of English syntax, a collection of overviews of many important syntactic structures, and a bridge connecting basic grammar with reading, perceiving, thinking, feeling, writing, real life, literature - and joy. The book wants to make the topics of syntax and style accessible and enjoyable to whoever wants to spend time with them. Friderike designed a color-parsing method that can be a helpful and enjoyable tool for analyzing the simplest and the most complex of sentences and styles. This method helps join intuitive, creative, and cognitive processes, making it easier for us to sort out what's happening in sentences and texts and what kinds of reading they require from us. It is suited to meet the needs of beginners and pros. The book was designed as a one-semester course, which takes the reader from basic sentences that are as easy as "I love you" to the complexities of E.E. Cummings and Faulkner.

Miles Black is fresh from a country newspaper and a failed engagement looking to break into big city journalist.

Everyone wants the manual that describes the meaning of life. In ELIXIR: Women's Quest for Wholeness, authors Jessica Fleming and Misha Crosbie tell their stories with gut-wrenching honesty, revealing the nuggets and pearls of the life manual. Their riveting and entertaining individual stories explore the quest for the solution to wholeness through its acronym: Exit, Look, Inside, eXamine, Integrate, Return. This acronym illuminates each essential step on the path to wholeness, as well as the tools that help you fulfil that mythic quest. They include narratives of exciting, challenging circumstances; of being fuelled by knowingness and an intention; of deep inner and outer explorations toward facing fears; of self-examination, naked in the mirror of truth; of the healing process of witnessing and being witnessed to, gently integrating and finally culminating in their lives' work. Fleming and Crosbie have discovered the elixir of wholeness-the symbol of life-and they communicate that in ELIXIR: Women's Quest for Wholeness. Their shared philosophy and life wisdom will guide you through any storm and inspire you to evolve to the highest and the best you can be.

As a successful artist specialising in Pencil Portraits, I have become intrigued with the repetitions of curves and lines in nature. When I explored and developed this concept, wonderful images emerged and became 'Artangles' and I was inspired to create a colouring book for grown-ups.

Also included are two separate 'details' from each image, giving you full page patterns to further enhance your colouring/meditation experience. Enjoy!

"I thought about how good it felt that on the previous day, I had loosened the shackles of frustration in one way; by taking a big leap back into life in another. I congratulated myself on my success. I knew that I had to keep trying to crawl out of the fog to freedom again, across all areas of my life. I promised myself that no matter how difficult or frustrating it was going to be, I had to try. I had to regain control, confidence and independence". Alana Henderson, a successful businesswoman, suffered a stroke at fifty-nine, losing her ability to communicate along with many associated skills. Surviving the stroke was the genesis of Out of the Fog. After a traumatic nine days in acute stroke services, she abandoned the health service for the safety of her home. Three weeks later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and diabetes. With little knowledge of how to cope with these major illnesses, she drew on her ingenuity, resourcefulness, and creativity to survive and recover. In this memoir, ...

This book is my contribution of intuitive epistemology. This book discusses many new understandings of ultimate reality but primarily new understandings of the nature of God, the nature of Man, and the nature and origin of our present universe. God is described as not personal, not all-powerful, not all-knowing, and not all-present. Individualized-Man is described as the unknowing expression of God. The universe is described as composed, in part, of the formless realm, the physical realm, the purgatorial realm, the spiritual realm and infinite void. The transbeingness of Man is described as formless-Man, physical-Man, purgatorial-Man, and spiritual-Man. Individualized-Man, a non-specific term for individualizations of infinite Man, is described as alternately existing in two realities. The first reality is core reality. In core reality, individualized-Man is in total self-conscious unity and harmony with God. Thus, in core reality individualized-Man exists in a mental self-realizing state of total harmony and bliss. The second reality is objective reality. In objective reality, individualize-Man experiences his infinite existence. This experiencing of existence is described as the purpose for individualized-Man's existence. Also, a fundamental understanding of this book is understanding the difference between real experiences and non-real experiences. All functionings within ultimate reality comprise real experiences. All experiences self-consciously created by individualized-Man are non-real experiences. It is through the creative experiencing of objective existence that individualized-Man understands himself, God, and the purpose for his infinite existence. Finally, this book describes Heaven and Hell. Individualized-Man is self-punishes himself for all his wrongdoings; God punishes no one. Hell is reserved for the individualizations of Man that self-consciously reject God, but real physical Hell is not a place of punishment.
