BLOGGING TO SAVE MY LIFE!

I created this blog to aid in the search for books on positive action. Self Help, inspirational and life issue books, because I believe that the environment of help is changing. More and more people are learning that we have lived most of our lives with old thinking. Some times we wake up in the morning and realize another, day, week, month or year has passed and we still have not realized some of our greatest dreams. In many cases, not even some of our smallest dreams.

Because the portability of reading materials has changed so dramatically, we really have no excuses not to take advantage of the available materials. A great many people that I know, still believe that they are stuck, living their life the way they always have, in spite of not reaching their goals, and even when their lives remain a mess. Homelessness, poverty, and hunger are some of the many examples of patterns that people do not change because they do not know how.

The books displayed on this site will offer titles for many life issues that may have the secrets people are looking for. The funny thing is, that there are still people that actually believe that living a good and full life is still a "secret." There is no secret...life is lived in only one way for us to realize all of the dreams we have in life. The right way, and the only way to find the right way, is to educate ourselves about it, and to enjoy the journey we take finding it.

I am finding my way through "The Secret" and what I am learning about The "Law of Attraction" and The Laws of Nature that govern our lives. For those of you that are looking for materials on those subjects please visit my other blogs, where you will also find, several marketing materials to promote and advertise your business, blog or web site.

BRADSHAW ON: THE FAMILY

BRADSHAW ON: THE FAMILY

Based on the public television series of the same name, Bradshaw On: The Family is John Bradshaw's seminal work on the dynamics of families that has sold more than a million copies since its original publication in 1988. Within its pages, you will discover the cause of emotionally impaired families. You will learn how unhealthy rules of behavior are passed down from parents to children, and the destructive effect this process has on our society.
Using the latest family research and recovery material in this new edition, Bradshaw also explores the individual in both a family and societal setting. He shows you ways to escape the tyranny of family-reinforced behavior traps--from addiction and co-dependency to loss of will and denial--and demonstrates how to make conscious choices that will transform your life and the lives of your loved ones. He helps you heal yourself and then, using what you have learned helps you heal your family.
Finally, Bradshaw extends this idea to our society: by returning yourself and your family to emotional health, you can heal the world in which you live. He helps you re-envision societal conflicts from the perspective of a global family, and shares with you the power of deep democracy: how the choices you make every day can affect--and improve--your world.

TASTE BERRIES FOR TEENS

TASTE BERRIES FOR TEENS

The Richardella-dulcisica, better known as the taste berry, is a unique fruit. When eaten, it causes the taste buds to experience all food eaten afterwards-even distasteful food-as sweet and delicious. Likewise, there are people who, through their love and compassion, make the lives of others better. Like the taste berry, these people can turn sour days into delightful, even joyful, ones.
With all the confusion, turmoil and heartache that teens experience, they need "taste berries" more than any other group. The authors - a mother/daughter team sensitive to the special needs of teens- have collected a wide array of inspirational material, which they interweave with teens' comments and critiques. The book is divided into units on self-worth, self-respect and self-esteem; friendship; love and meaningful relationships; finding meaning, purpose and direction in life; giving, sharing and making a difference; encouragement and success; and coping with pressure, stress and tough issues.
Real teens reviewed this book and the authors completed it with the collaborative feedback of those teens. This innovative approach enables Taste Berries for Teens to show teens - by means of the responses and reactions of their peers, rather than the rhetoric of adults - what it means to be a "taste berry" and to appreciate the "taste berries" in their lives. In addition, the authors offer their own suggestions and counsel to provide structure for the teen responses.
Taste Berries for Teens--a unique combination of timeless and heartwarming narratives, teen responses and reactions, and the authors' own loving and wise commentary and advice--is sure to become every teen reader's constant guide and trusted companion.
