Meet Rosie Red, the girl with the Flaming Red Hair as she skips, hopidy, hops through her fun-filled life. Every day is just one big adventure after another! This illustrated short story book is my tribute to children born with red hair, who like me, make up only 2% of the world's population. It is a celebration of a child's diversity captured in a colourful, vibrant picture book for girls. The story unfolds around Grandma, Rosie's patient older sister, her trickster little brother, fun parents, her exasperated teacher and friends who first stare at her and are then won over by her fun, charm and zest for life. The Girl with the Flaming Red Hair is an enjoyable children's rhyme book - a story of a little girl and her life experiences and day to day activities expressed in verse. It will appeal to children who enjoy rhyme books by Julia Donaldson and Rachel Bright and the occasional nursery rhyme. This would make an excellent starter book for early readers. At the same time, toddlers, kindergarten and preschool children can use this book for early learning as it provides a repeating word pattern which helps children, who are only just beginning to learn to read, discover themselves and the relationships with those around them. It also includes fun facts about Red Hair and is perfect for children two years and older.

"Someone please help me." Those were the words that I screamed inside my head as I rolled on the floor of my rented box room in the city.What happened afterward changed everything.Without even realising it at the time, I was saved. I was not meant to leave this life just yet. I had been spoken to and helped but not by any physical person. A realization set it. It was my decision, my free will to stay on this Earth and make it the best life possible.Writing has brought up huge pain and sadness but also a freedom to express what I had kept inside for so long. We fool ourselves by believing we have dealt with everything in the past, it just can't be talked out of us, or masked by prescription drugs. It is part of who we are made up of, it is up to us how we choose to see it and feel it from this moment on.This is my journey.I invite you to share that journey with me and hope in some small way it will open your heart just a little to the beauty of the Divine Energy that we all are.

In Limerick, the workers and their representatives take over running the city and their action is declared a 'Soviet'. The British authorities see it as a serious threat to their rule in Ireland. The workers are protesting against a severe military law that requires them to get special passes and be checked going to and from work. The restrictions follow the IRA shooting of a policeman and the wounding of another during the rescue of an ill Republican prisoner from a local hospital. He, too, is wounded and dies.The workers control every aspect of life - production and distribution of food, opening and closing of shops, prices and transport. They publish their own newspaper and - uniquely - issue their own currency. Newspapers and newsreels across the world report on the events. Their initial success is built on a local alliance of Socialist, Republican and trade union forces, with the tacit support of the Catholic clergy. However, when the workers seek a general strike, the national leaderships of these disparate groups are opposed and abandon them. The outcome locally is an honourable draw and the militant spirit of Limerick's women and men inspires more than a hundred other soviets across Ireland in the revolutionary years 1919 to 1923.

A Guide to WELLBEING from the inside out is a practical, how-to guide. It identifies challenges to personal effectiveness and offers suggestions on how to address and overcome those that inhibit the full expression of who we could become. It touches on cutting edge science, the body-mind connection, improving relationships, assertiveness and becoming a DIY coach among others - all skills that can be learned to increase self-efficacy - and which only can happen when we take charge of our internal processes.Based on Siegel's 'Triangle of Well-being' of Brain, Mind and Relationships, it explores the subject using well-researched psychological principals in tandem with practical applications. Everyday habits, beliefs and behaviours are described in ways that will help readers understand what lies beneath the surface of who they are. Like a good forensic detective, the how and why of what makes us who we are is examined to provide clues for identifying and tracking growth points to personal change - one step, one insight, one revelation at a time.
