Her compassionate perspective provides invaluable guidance for individuals no matter where they find themselves on the ever-evolving path of life. Uplifting is not just a book; it is a beacon of light in the sometimes dark and uncertain world of loss and change. Dr. Eastman guides with grace and wisdom, reminding us that the intertwined elements of change and loss are not adversaries but companions on our journey. Her words will inspire, guide, and empower you to rise above your seemingly lowest points and thrive.

Monsters freely roam the earth hidden in plain sight. They pretend to be humans and hunt prey for power, control, dominance, and to break down boundaries. For many people, monsters do not just live under our beds; they are in our beds, lying beside us. Jeanelle Maraid knows monsters are real because she married one, stared into his eyes, and felt his evil. His mission was to destroy every part of her and transform her into his hopeless, helpless, and frightened prey. Now she has a mission to change how the world views domestic abuse and protect other human beings from the rath of these monsters. In a courageous retelling of her story, Maraid candidly reveals details of her abusive marriage as well as her eventual escape, healing, and passion for advocacy in order to help bring awareness, education, understanding, and change to anyone enduring abuse, now and in the future. Marrying the Boogeyman shares the eye-opening story of an abuse survivor who became a fierce warrior determined to bring exposure and accountability to monsters who purposely hurt those who love them.

Have you experienced the feeling of forgotten hope, the sensation like you've lost yourself? It feels as if time is passing you by and you're unable to see yourself in the overwhelming swirl of this crazy life. So many other things have taken your time and your zest for life: kids, family, relationships, and work. You believe self-care is only for others. You've forgotten how to have hope and passion for yourself. In A Day of Hope, author Kayla Jones shares her personal journey to find hope when there seemed to be a short supply. She tells how she transformed from being overworked and overstressed to having more time and energy to do the things she loves, even when she didn't know what that was. Jones outlines a process-a day of hope-that helped her transform her life. A day of hope is one day, or a full twenty-four hours, for you. A day to do whatever you want, whenever you want, and however you want. On this one day, you get to choose everything. One full day to fuel up on what you want and need. A Day of Hope teaches how one day per month can transform your life, help you recover hope for a brighter future, and empower you to regain control of who you really are inside.

We are so accustomed to wearing a mask, disguising ourselves from others, that we've successfully ended up disguised to ourselves. For the Sake of Sharing is a collection of spiritual poems and artwork, along with what the author considers random threads of transformative thinking, to help you remove that mask for good. Along with author Quintana, we must look closely at who we are. To do so, we first consider our thoughts about purpose and prayer. We strive to understand the importance of our dreams. We look back and consider the long-term effects of our earliest teachers. Finally, we celebrate how God, love, and being human delicately dance together. We all fall short of perfection, but awareness is the first step on the path to positive transformation. Hope lies in our deepest desires to evolve, do well, and experience the seemingly elusive evolution of the soul. Deepest within our seeking, though, is to have a personal relationship with God. Christ is the absolute truth, the epitome of love in one's life. Immerse yourself in poetry and pictures while seeking Him and our truest selves.

Sixteen-year-old Madison Michaels has never been in love, and that's fine by her. Having an exceedingly overprotective father doesn't leave much wiggle room for boys, let alone love. Madison's father, Pablo Perez, dutifully enforces Rule #4: Stay Away from Boys! Everything changes, however, when new student Ben Warren shows up in Madison's English class. With his good looks and kind-hearted ways, he captures Madison's heart. Unfortunately, Madison's newfound feelings have to be kept a secret. A secret from her adoptive twin sisters, Caro and Tina; her friend, Nina Abbott, who has fallen for Ben too; and best friends Elena Mercado and Mari Rosales, (especially Mari) who believes Ben is a troublemaker from whom everyone should stay away. As Madison's feelings for Ben grow, so do her lies. However, lies, like corks, eventually float to the surface. And when they do, all key players are there to witness it, including Nina who, obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, believes that Ben is her "Mr. Darcy" and Madison now her "frenemy." Madison knows she can't fall in love. Madison knows she can't be with Ben. Madison knows better, but her heart does not.

"DESTINY" is a book recording the continual soul expansion of the seeker, Peter James Ford. Peter's journey began after a powerful spiritual experience in the little historic seaport in Newburyport, Massachusetts. In Peter's late night meditations which were along the Merrimac River, the boardwalk, the Salisbury Reservation on the Atlantic Ocean, Plum Island, Maudsley Estate State Park, Pow Wow Hill (Native American Burial Grounds) and Old Hill Burial Grounds he was having vivid visions in his mind of 'seeming' past life experiences and powerful insights. Peter began seeing the hidden secrets of this quaint little seaport that people never take the time to see. Peter's intuition and senses increased in an almost scary powerful way giving Peter wisdom from unseen sources. One source may be the Akashic Records/Library that is not a physical library but a place in the ethers that contains all the wisdom and knowledge ever known to anyone over the eons. We can access this power through ancient spiritual practices and apparently Peter has done just that. Stories and Tales began flowing from Peter and he wrote his first book. In the last three years Peter has written ten more books and shares everything he has found from his journeys to the inner worlds. Peter wrote a seven-book series under the title "MYSTICISM IN NEWBURYPORT" then the eighth and ninth bonus/companion books called "MYSTIC" & "VISION QUEST." Then "SHAMBHALA'S GHOSTS" was to join the collection of mystical tales. Now you are holding his new writings in your hands. Peter laughingly calls himself "An Unlikely Messenger" as his younger years were nothing resembling anything spiritual. So, here is the story of just another seeker realizing his divinity and returning to his own heart...
