community clubs and schools, with the economy or international politics, the question is, "Is anyone in
charge here?" Dr. John Neufeld demonstrates the Bible teaching of God's providence. We are assured
that God's Hand is upon everything and everyone, without exception. Dr. John explores God's sustaining
grip through the natural world and human endeavor, in pivotal matters or the seemingly trivial, the
things we welcome and those we shun. He teaches the impact of God's sovereign rule upon our hearts,
minds, work, worship, homes, and nation. We can live in the confidence that God is unfolding His
purpose for time and eternity.<br /><br />
What people are saying about Dr. John Neufeld's teaching:<br /><br />"This is such an important message for us today. Thank you, Dr. John, for your encouragement to view
what is presently concerning us in the world from the perspective of God and His providence. That
should take a huge weight off our shoulders!"</blockquote><br /><br />
<b>Read an Excerpt</b><br /><br />
Once we embrace Godโs Providence, we find that nothing happens by accident. Not only is there no bad
luck, there is no luck at all. The universe is not governed by fate or a bad alignment of the stars. Nothing
just happens. Instead, all things are arranged by the providential hand of God, for his glory and the long-
term good of those he has chosen, including the amount of rain we get and the silt that washes into the
watershed. Once we embrace how God wisely arranges all things in our lives, we gain confidence in
discovering how to grow in holiness, lean upon His grace and consider the needs of others before our
own.<br /><br />

She had just given birth to my baby brother on
</p><p style="text-align: center;">February 24, 1982. My mom had made it through the delivery but came home with a bad
</p><p style="text-align: center;">headache that she had been complaining about for a few days. My mother went into the
</p><p style="text-align: center;">bathroom and was in there too long. My oldest sister knocked at the door, but she didnโt come
</p><p style="text-align: center;">out. My baby brother's dad came over and knocked at the door. Shortly after, she stumbled out
</p><p style="text-align: center;">of the bathroom to a nearby seat and just about fell out of the chair. The ambulance was called,
</p><p style="text-align: center;">and they rushed my mom to the hospital. I remember being at the hospital with my family and
</p><p style="text-align: center;">the doctor telling my grandmother that my mom had a brain aneurysm and her brain was dying.
</p><p style="text-align: center;">He said they would have to pull the plug once the brain was dead. It doesnโt seem like a
</p><p style="text-align: center;">conversation that you should be having in front of a child, but it happened, and a few weeks
</p><p style="text-align: center;">later, she was gone. An intern at the hospital pulled the plug on my mom before it was time.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHsHDyYFnei-2QB9CQzw0OdPMKvpSGUoU8VDzVuyLn_piWh_pB0pNpkbECwPGpmhtuzLoZUiz0AwOtd2wCoVqnFYDOUXZk9ODcPoQ6uFXDvT_YJ83e-9Y5Zd7DtsxhTc19OAVOnRFaWAJtWjUYuvx6rlbQPJbHlOxO8jyxIDm2uVjpE3TnhpWZ89hxbb-3/s1200/author%20image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHsHDyYFnei-2QB9CQzw0OdPMKvpSGUoU8VDzVuyLn_piWh_pB0pNpkbECwPGpmhtuzLoZUiz0AwOtd2wCoVqnFYDOUXZk9ODcPoQ6uFXDvT_YJ83e-9Y5Zd7DtsxhTc19OAVOnRFaWAJtWjUYuvx6rlbQPJbHlOxO8jyxIDm2uVjpE3TnhpWZ89hxbb-3/s320/author%20image.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">AUTHOR :

Martin suffered horrible abuse as children, forcing them to survive by seamlessly assuming each otherโs
identities. Living each otherโs lives provides protection from the trauma of their past. But when tragedy
strikes, one of the brothers plummets into a dissociative crisis that leads him down a murderous
path.<br /><br />
As the body count rises, two cases end up in the courtroom, where judges, lawyers, and psychiatrists try
to piece together which twin is the suspect and which is the victim. Everyone in the courtroom strives to
bring the victims to justiceโbut how can justice be served when no one is sure who the defendant truly
is?</blockquote><br /><br />
<b>Read an Excerpt</b> <br /><br />
Like I said, me and Marty were from Maine. Born, bred, and fed. By foster parents mostly. Always hated
the cold. We lived in drafty houses in winter, wore cheap coats in spring and fall, but not knowing any
better, just accepted it. Lived our lives wherever the caseworkers said. You know, go here, stay there,
new doctors, and interchangeable houses. <br /><br />A general practitioner, whose first name was Doctor, talked to our first foster mother, but not us.
<br /><br />
โDonโt worry, Mrs. Greyson,โ the doctor said. <br /><br />
Thatโs what he always called herโMissusโshe didnโt have a first name, and he didnโt have a last. He
was Doctor and she was Mrs. Us? We were just two little jellybeans sitting in one chair. Doctor had
three chairs in his office. One for her, one for him, and the third for us. I remember liking thatโsame
chair, same us. <br /><br />
โAutonomous language is common, harmless, really. Itโll go away in time,โ he told her. Not us. He never
said anything to us. We donโt remember the exact words, but who cares? Fumbuck, he knew. You? How
can you tell? Autonomous, dummy. Marty told me. <br /><br />
โThey will always be hard to tell apart. Dress them differently. They will want to be together, with their
family gone and all, but treat them like regular brothers, even if they are identical twins.โ <br /><br />
<b>About the Author</b> I am a retiring lawyer, a working author, and a preserving blogger. I was a full-
time trial lawyer for thirty-two years in a large Phoenix firm. I was a part-time law professor for the last
twenty-nine years. As of summer, 2023, I am writing, publishing, and blogging full time. My first book
was a textbook published by the Arizona State Bar Association. My first novel was published by the
University of New Mexico Press. Iโve written ten novels and eight nonfiction titles as of July 2023. <br /><br />
From the day I entered law school, Iโve been reading cases, statutory law and writing about legal
conundrums and flaws in our criminal and civil justice systems. Iโve always read novels, nonfiction, and
historical fiction by great authors who were never corrupted by the staid habits of trial lawyers. I write
long-form, interspersed with the occasional blog, op-ed, or essay. One of the unexpected benefits of
reading the law is learning how to write about it. Somewhere along the trajectory from a baby lawyer to
a senior one, I became intoxicated with blending nonfiction with fiction in books, rather than legal
documents. After spending thirty years in courtrooms trying cases, I started writing about them. That led
to writing novels while borrowing from famous historical settings and lesser-known characters. My
courtroom days were chock full of ideas, notions, and hopes about ultimately becoming an author. I
organized and memorized critical information for judges, juries, and clients. Now I use that experienceto write vivid fiction and immersive nonfiction. I moved away from trial practice to teaching law
students how to use creative writing techniques to tell their clientโs stories, in short form.<br /><br />
F. Scott Fitzgerald said, โAll good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.โ The same
could be said of my transition from trying cases to writing crime fiction. Iโve been holding my breath for
twenty years waiting for galley proofs and book reviews. Anais Nin spoke for all of us when she said,
โWe write to taste life twice.โ<br /><br />
My first novel, The Gallup 14, won a coveted starred review from Publishers Weekly. I won a Spur Award
from Western Writers of America in 2004 for my first nonfiction book (โMiranda, The Story of Americaโs
Right to Remain Silentโ). I won the 2010 Arizona Book of the Year Award, The Glyph Award, and a
Southwest Publishing Top Twenty award in 2010, for โInnocent Until InterrogatedโThe Story of the
Buddhist Temple Massacre.โ My third nonfiction title (โAnatomy of a ConfessionโThe Debra Milke
Caseโ) was highly acclaimed. My nonfiction title โCALL HIM MACโErnest W. McFarlandโThe Arizona
Yearsโ was widely and favorably reviewed. My latest nonfiction crime book, โNobody Did Anything
Wrong But Me, was published by Twelve Tables Press, one of Americaโs most distinguished publisher of
law books about important legal issues. No New York Times bestsellers, yet. <br /><br />

<b>Four lifelong friends. Four unbreakable rules.</b></div><div><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A bachelor pact made in college - no commitments, no
attachments. And I intend to honor it. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Until Pia Russo walks into my life. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">When my father dies unexpectedly, I leave the NYPD and big
city lights behind, at least temporarily, to move back to Cedar Falls and run the family inn. My
first order of business? Firing the beautiful manager Dad had hired but never met. I donโt need
any complications in my simple small town life. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But fate has other plans. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My friends convince me to give Pia a chance, finding humor in
my struggle between our growing attraction and my military-honed discipline urging me not to
date an employee. </span>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">As we renovate the aging inn
together, I try in vain to shield my heart. But Pia's laughter fills the dusty halls, melting my
defenses. Now, with my future and an age-old promise on the line, I'm left wondering if I should
finally crack open the door to love I sealed so long ago.</span></p>

concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific
emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm."<br /><br />
"Poetry: a literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the
use of distinctive style and rhythm."<br /><br />
Poetry means different things to different people. For me, it is all about feelings. If it captures the
emotions of the reader, a poem will resonate and fill the soul. It can mean everything to one person and
not much at all to another. The mood of the reader, and no one else, determines the outcome.<br /><br />For example, love poems are wonderful when you are in love, and their passion is amazing. If you are
facing adversity, however, love poems likely will just annoy you.<br /><br />
In this second book, Poetry from my Heart: The Journey Continues, I have again divided the poems into
categories which will fit your mood no matter what you are experiencing at the time you choose to
explore them. There should be something for everyone, whether you are in love, out of love, hurt,
lonely, angry, abandoned, or facing other challenges in your life.<br /><br />
Poetry has a healing power that nurtures the soul and quietens the mind and so I hope that whatever
your situation is in life, you have found something here that helped you safely on your own
journey.</blockquote><br /><br />

With mossy heads and jagged knees<br />
We've stood here silently for years<br />
We feel no stress we have no fears <br /><br />
A thousand years or more we've stood<br />
Deep within our woodland world<br />
Our greenly forest neighbourhood <br />
With silent meaning still unfurled<br /><br />With heads of moss and cobweb beards <br />
We look so strong and brave<br />
We have no needs, we know no fears<br />
This forest home is all we crave<br /><br />
We proudly lay beneath the trees<br />
Our walls are hard we feel no pain<br />
We're Stoney Sentinels on our knees<br />
We guard our world of wind and rain<br /><br />
We have no roots we have no heart<br />
We're solid in the ground <br />
We're stony stoic works of art<br />
We're lurking here without a sound<br /><br />
When next you walk our forest floor<br />
Remember not to make a sound<br />
Weโll stare at you but wonโt say more<br />
Just Silent Sentinels in the ground<br /><br />

an Irishman. He was born in September 1946 in Castletownroche, a small townland village in County
Cork, Eire.
<br /><br />
It was there in Castletownroche that his romantic imagination was sparked as he came to love and
appreciate the magic of his surroundings. Those early experiences were the genesis of his poetry that
emerged in later life.<br /><br />
As a young adult, Paul lived in London, England, where he became a chartered accountant.<br /><br />
At age 25, restless for adventure, Paul moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he still
resides today.<br /><br />
Paul is happily married and is a proud father and grandfather.<br /><br />
Paul writes poetry as the inspiration comes to him. As long as his mind, body and soul are willing
companions and his spark of inspiration remains alive, he will continue to write.<br /><br />
This book is Paul's second publication in his Willing Heart series. His first book was published in the
Spring of 2022 and is called Poetry from My Heart: A Journey through Feelings. The book reached #1 on
Amazonโs Kindle chart in British Poetry and #2 in Poetry Anthologies November 2023.<br /><br />

Montgomery had just graduated high school in June 1976 and was enjoying life as an 18-year-old
teenager. He was hired by the Dawson City Police Force, and after graduating from police college he was
assigned to work as an undercover operative in a motorcycle gang.<br /><br />
Ricky, although happy, was struggling living his double life as a cop and biker. Then it happened: during a
biker war, Ricky's life was saved by agents from the World Council (TWC). TWC was created by the
world's leaders to prevent manmade disasters from happening and to liaise with aliens who have been
monitoring mankind for hundreds of years. TWC's mandate, with the assistance of aliens, is to ensure
mankind's continued existence.<br /><br />
TWC is a highly secretive organization, whose agents have the ability to travel through time, to change
history, and to take lives to save lives. Ricky becomes a TWC agent and discovers that TWC's command
staff is making unethical decisions, hiding secrets about aliens and trying to reduce the world'sopulation through biological warfare. Ricky teams up with other agents and tries to save mankind and
the world from disaster.</blockquote><br /><br />
<b>Read an Excerpt</b> <br /><br />
There were overhead cranes that slid on the metal tracking in the ceiling running the distances of the
corridors. I was not sure why, but my gut was telling me there was something really strange going on.
Something wasnโt right, I really felt like I was in danger. We were walking in a large group and being a
Prospect I was at the back of the pack. Although I was walking, I became scared something was wrong. I
didn't even have a gun with me. This was supposed to be a peaceful patch-over. <br /><br />
Then it happened, the shooting started. There were muzzle flashes all over the place. It appeared that
we were surrounded and the guys were being shot and were dropping everywhere. Some of the guys
were trying to return fire, but the shots appeared to be coming from everywhere. <br /><br />
I suddenly observed these strange metal objects rolling around with guns shooting at us. Something was
killing us and there was blood everywhere. Suddenly these metal walls started falling from the roof,
blocking doorways and corridors herding us into areas, to be slaughtered. <br /><br />
I had taken cover behind a large metal shelf and I heard somebody yelling at me to climb up the ladder
to the roof. I looked over to the right and two corridors over someone else was climbing up another
ladder to the roof. <br /><br />
I looked again and the guys were still being slaughtered. Out of fear and self preservation I climbed the
ladder as fast as I could. Although I was afraid of heights I was more scared about being shot and killed.
<br /><br />
I periodically glanced down and it was so strange, those mechanical things were still rolling around firing
shots at everyone. I got to the top of the ladder and saw that there was a metal platform to stand on. I
stood on the platform and I glanced down to where the other guy had climbed to. He had pushed some
type of button and suddenly he went shooting down the corridor ceiling on some type of overhead
crane track out of sight. <br /><br />
I saw some buttons on the adjacent panel and l pushed the green button. Holy shit! I went flying down
the ceiling. It was a fast ride, like I was almost travelling through time. It appeared to have taken me
thousands of feet in a few seconds. Then suddenly I stopped and I looked around. Off in the distance I till saw these weird metal walls dropping from the ceiling. They were blocking corridors and exits. They
were still isolating the guys into smaller areas, to be slaughtered. <br /><br />
I then saw the adjacent guy diving into a room just before a metal wall blocked his exit. The large metal
wall came down fast, then slowed for a few seconds before locking into the other metal wall. I looked to
my left and saw a strange thing. There was a group of people all dressed in white coloured laboratory
coats, rushing around in a room that had a large window overlooking the warehouse. <br /><br />
I was concerned that a metal wall was going to come down and that I was going to be trapped so I
decided that I had to jump through the window and escape into that room. I took a few steps and
jumped through the window as a metal wall started to come down. Shit!, I was going to be squashed
and I was going to lose my legs. At the last second I was able to lift both my legs out of the way, while
flipping over on my back. With a clang the metal wall crashed down. <br /><br />
I was laying on my back trying to figure out what the fuck was going on when I saw an Asian girl
approaching me. She said, โHi Rick, Iโm Irene and Iโm glad you were able to get out in time. You have to
come with me now.โ <br /><br />
โWhat the hell is going on?โ I managed to ask. <br /><br />
She looked at me, โI will explain everything to you in a few minutes but we have to get decontaminated
right away.โ She turned and started walking. โFollow me, stay close and do what I do.โ <br /><br />

</div><div>third eye. It has been my experience that it does not sit in one place but hovers around you.
</div><div>Your higher self is your all-knowing self. It holds the secrets of your existence in this life and the
</div><div>many lives before you and the many after you. Your higher self is the one constant that wraps
</div><div>around you. There is a reason we are being invited to meditate. With mental illness on the rise,
</div><div>meditation anchors one down. Mindful practices connect you with your heartโs centre, the
</div><div>magical gateway to your consciousness. Meditate, sit in silence, to connect to this wonder, this
</div><div>brilliance that has all the answers we seek, sitting quietly within. Start consulting with yourself.
</div><div>Start connecting with your inner wisdom. Quiet your mind long enough to hear this voice, this
</div><div>intelligent exchange, this insightful chat that will finally awaken the truth you seek.
</div><div>While I continued using my journal to further discover this new endeavour, a few days later, I
</div><div>discovered my boardroom of helpers, who follow me around throughout this lifetime and assist
</div><div>when necessary. Imagine a boardroom of consultants looking after you, working 24/7 throughout
</div><div>each entire life. That is their assignment, to follow you as you navigate lifeโs trials and
</div><div>tribulations. My boardroom of helpers or councillors consisted of four. This varies for some. I
</div><div>continue to visualize them sitting around this oval table and looking at me, face to face. Their
</div><div>eyes are on me, as are the eyes of your very personal team of guides. Yes, they see you naked
</div><div>too, and everything in between! It took me a while to get over this one.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gzO-og4TfHOc8z0QXbDoCzusRYeUNEiXL8Xj2z_nkl1PUEnmpYI1Bx1vgUeT_buFl2xVb53dRADBm8FxPMrdtJCBx_xJni2HZbtCM62xBpYpA9O-hxts540Bf6mFLZg2chIr7USfdTNMcOTJVj7fkoXsXfVorljZlXnkA97yrmotRVQ_fM8Jxa9bee7U/s640/author%20image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="427" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gzO-og4TfHOc8z0QXbDoCzusRYeUNEiXL8Xj2z_nkl1PUEnmpYI1Bx1vgUeT_buFl2xVb53dRADBm8FxPMrdtJCBx_xJni2HZbtCM62xBpYpA9O-hxts540Bf6mFLZg2chIr7USfdTNMcOTJVj7fkoXsXfVorljZlXnkA97yrmotRVQ_fM8Jxa9bee7U/s320/author%20image.jpeg" width="214" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>AUTHOR :
</div><div><br /></div><div>Tania Kiaizadeh (Kia) was born in Teheran, Iran but in 1977, at the age of nine, she moved to
</div><div>Montreal with her family in order to avoid the political rumblings which gave way to the Iranian
</div><div>Coup dโรฉtat. With new beginnings in Montreal, adaptations to be made, she carved a life in
</div><div>North America. She received her Bachelor and Master of Education in Educational and
</div><div>Counselling Psychology, at McGill University. Since 1991, she has been working with her
</div><div>students in classrooms and in private practice, teaching them French as a second language,
</div><div>literature, history, as well executive functioning skills, while reminding them that they are
</div><div>limitless beings with gifts and capabilities that extend far beyond their imagination. It all starts
</div><div>with setting an intention and implicitly believing in yourself. Education, knowledge, self-
</div><div>improvement and self-empowerment paired with curiosity and her favourite aphorism, โleave no
</div><div>stone unturned,โ define the fabric of her life. With Spirit nestled in stereo, she now has access to
</div><div>a crisp means of learning, which involves a great deal of hands-on, experiential learning.
</div><div>She began writing her debut, prescriptive non-fiction, a spiritual self-help, after delving into the
</div><div>study of transformation, spirituality, intuition and manifestation. When she is not busy editing her
</div><div>second novel, a narrative memoir, she can be found walking in nature, connecting to her
</div><div>students, embracing her limitations in yoga, deeply breathing, having insightful exchanges with
</div><div>her family and friends, and just being. Since the summer of 2021, she has been sending free,
</div><div>monthly, distant energy healing to those in need, especially during this worldwide pandemic,
</div><div>where people are suffering in many different ways. Even with energy medicine, she proves to be most effective helping children. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://taniakiaizadeh.com/" target="_blank">Website </a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div> GIVEAWAY </div><div><br /></div><div>Tania Kiaizadeh will be awarding a $15 Amazon or Barnes and Noble GC to a randomly drawn

Buchanan grew up in Jamaica. She revisits her lived experiences of abuse and neglect in early childhood
and her younger adult years. Buchanan takes the reader on a palatable path that allows for reflection on
one's own life. She writes about her survival journey, while looking through descriptive lens, she
carefully details how exposure to early childhood abuse and neglect within her family helped form
patterns, influenced choices, and shaped decisions in her adulthood.<br /><br />
By chronicling familial stories, the roles of parents, siblings, and community, she employs a story-telling
and meaning-making approach, that is both painful and entertaining. Even though as a young child I was
told I was the problem, I knew intuitively that I did not cause all my problems. I now know that what
happened to me within the context of familial (and other) relationships had a name--emotional abuse
and neglect.<br /><br />Growing up I wished there were more people and resources that could help me make sense of my life as
I struggled with low self-esteem, insecurities, felt lost, craved attention, and an overall sense of not
belonging--I felt like an outsider and desperately wanted to be on the inside.<br /><br />
Buchanan reaffirms that: childhood experiences of abuse and neglect does not mean one has a
commutable life sentence of pain and suffering. It does not matter where you are on your healing
journey, you can set that stuff aside and reclaim your life. This book is for anyone who grew up in a
toxic, abusive, and unhealthy home environment where they felt like they did not belong within the
family unit. It is also a book about making changes, forgiveness, and letting go.</blockquote><br />
<b>Read an Excerpt</b><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">
Emotional Abuse and Neglect</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-
align: center;">Experience has taught us that we have only one enduring</div><div style="text-align:
center;">weapon in our struggle against mental illness: the emotional</div><div style="text-align:
center;">discovery and emotional acceptance of the truth in the</div><div style="text-align:
center;">individual and unique history of our childhood.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br
/></div><div style="text-align: center;">Alice Miller</div><br />
Impact of Early Childhood Emotional Abuse and Neglect <br /><br />
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. I do not know when or where I first heard this saying,
but these days my life is lemons. Not the ripe, luscious, bright yellow lemons we often notice in the
grocery store from afar, but sour, bitter, bad tasting onesโa whole lot of themโand there is no sugar
to sweeten the lemonade I am making, so I just must swallow the bad tasting, intolerable concoction. I
took the childhood garbage I ingested into adulthood. When and where did I learn to swallow this stuff
and keep it down? I did not learn it as an adult; I learnt this behavior as a small, innocent, and
unsuspecting child.<br /><br />
For many of us, the traumas and dramas of our early childhood experiences have turned us into
survivors. MerriamWebster says a survivor is โA person who continues to live after an accident, illness,
war, etc.โ A more specific definition is โSomeone who can keep living or succeeding despite a lot of
problems.โ The second definition certainly applies to me (and most other survivors of childhood abuse
and neglect). Those earlier events have altered our psychological and emotional state in adulthood. Wegrow up to be adult-children who are not fully โaliveโ but rather, we endure an existence where we
appear to be living a full life but are just getting by; we are surviving.<br /><br />

strategy. It is designed to give the participant simple and effective tools to aid in improving overall
health, effectively deal with weight management issues, and to serve as a guide for empowered aging.
The program is aimed at those over the age of 55 with existing health compromise. It examines the true
genesis of both health and disease through the lens of our evolutionary footprint, drilling down to the
essence of what it means to be alive. It is here within the principles which create and maintain life, that
we also find the keys to health and longevity.</blockquote><br /><br />
<b>Read an Excerpt</b><br /><br />
One unassailable truth is certain: If you buy into the above negative beliefs about getting older, the
likelihood of finding satisfaction in life going forward is slim. <br /><br />However, if you are genuinely committed to feeling better, the ideas I am about to present in the Un-
Diet Diet, may open your mind to a different approach for reclaiming and maintaining health...one that
just may potentially help save your life. Proceeding through the book, you are going to be shown a
strategy for repair, health maintenance, and creative ageing that is in perfect step with our evolutionary
footprint. It is here through manโs continuous adaptation over time that we uncover the roots of health
and longevity potential. <br /><br />
The pandemic in 2020 has changed the world forever. It was particularly vicious for those over fifty-five,
killing many and leaving even more seriously health compromised. The need for new direction when it
comes to the fostering a healthy lifestyle has never been more imperative. I believe that for us to
continue to successfully thrive we must reconnect with our inherent health potentials which have
continuously adapted and evolved over hundreds of thousands of years.<br /><br />

spent his life living in the shadow of his late older brother. Brody had been the heir his father had loved
and wanted, while Kieran was born to a woman his father despised for her betrayal. Kieran has only ever
felt the bond of family with his best friend, Ella.<br /><br />
Ella knew one day Kieran would be called on to do his duty to his clan and marry for an alliance. But she
never expected his engagement would suddenly force her to see him in such a different way. Theyโd
known each other all their lives, but aside from one exploratory kiss, she had never been attracted to
him as a woman is to a man. Until now.<br /><br />
As the time comes for Kieran to marry, he realizes he has feelings he shouldnโt have for the lass whoโs
been by his side all his life.<br />
<br />When the marriage contract is breached, Kieran hopes it means freedom for them to be together, but
instead, it leads to war and a secret that will change their lives forever.</blockquote><br />
<b>Read an Excerpt</b> <br /><br />
But now, he was expected to sit at the high table and take part in clan business. <br /><br />
Not that he had any idea what kind of business had brought the MacKenzie laird to their lands. His
father told him little. <br /><br />
โHow is your family?โ Rolfe asked, making it sound as if he cared. <br /><br />
โWell, thank ye.โ Neil glanced at Kieran and gave a nod. โYour son looks hearty.โ <br /><br />
Hearty? Was that the word used to describe a man who stood at least four inches over his fatherโs tall
frame and was wider in the shoulder than the laird as well? Kieran might have sniffed in offense except
he knew how much the sound bothered his father, and he didnโt want to be scolded like a lad in front of
the MacKenzie. <br /><br />
โAye. He will make a fine husband to your Isla. Shall we sign the contract and then celebrate with a
dram?โ Rolfe suggested. <br /><br />
Perhaps Kieran wasnโt as hearty as heโd thought, for he felt the world had just tilted as the words
echoed about in his mind. Kieran would make a fine husband? A husband to this manโs daughter? <br /><br />
โMarriage?โ The word escaped Kieranโs dry throat. <br /><br />
Rolfe lifted a brow and frowned at Kieran. <br /><br />
โWhy do you look so surprised?โ his father asked. <br /><br />Kieran might have answered if he thought he could get the words out. The truth was he looked
surprised because he was, in fact, quite surprised. Why did his father act as if it were something theyโd
just discussed earlier in the day? <br /><br />
It surely wasnโt as if Kieran would have forgotten such a thing as being shackled to a wife he didnโt
know. <br /><br />
โYouโve known for as long as you can recall that, as my heir, you would one day be joined in an
advantageous marriage when an alliance was required.โ <br /><br />
Yes. One day. He didnโt realize it would be so soon and with a complete stranger. <br /><br /><b>About

</a></div>"I don't know what to say" and "I don't know what to do" are common responses to a life-
threatening diagnosis. Voices of Cancer is here to help.<br><br>
Every cancer story is different, but there is one commonality: both patients and the people supporting
them often struggle to properly articulate their wants and needs through particularly challenging and in
many cases, uncharted territory. Lynda Wolters knows firsthand: she was diagnosed with stage 4
terminal mantle cell lymphoma in August of 2016.<br><br>
Voices of Cancer offers a candid look into the world of a cancer patient, informed by Lyndaโs own story
and conversations had with dozens of patients weighing in on their needs, wants, and dislikes as they
navigate the complex world of diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. With comprehensive and accessible
insight from people whoโve been there, Voices of Cancer helps educate, dispel fears, and start positive
conversations about what a cancer diagnosis truly means, while shining a light on how best to support a
loved one on their own terms.</blockquote><br><br><b>Read an Excerpt</b> <br><br>
Voices on Thoughtless Words<br><br>
There is no perfect thing to say to someone with a devastating disease, but honest conversation and
true statements are better than fluffy words that are best suited for use as a slogan. Itโs okay to let the
patient know you donโt know what to say. Itโs okay to let them know you are afraid of offending them or
making them feel sad with your words or your personal fear of what they are going through. And itโs
okay to just sit with them, cry with them, listen to them vent, or just share space. <br><br>
Some of my most comforting times were when people just shared space with me. Every time I was
hospitalized, my dear friend Michelle would bring all her โgadgetsโโcell phone, laptop, etc.โand work
from my hospital room. Sometimes staying an hour or more, often not speaking but just sitting with me
and working on her laptop, she shared space and her love.<br><br>

The Gladiator <br />
Turner Cooper<br /><br />
The landline was ringing again but I didnโt bother to pick up. Letting it go to voicemail, I listened to my
wifeโs warm Texas accent roll softly through the office over the speaker of an antiquated answering
machine. <br /><br />
Hi, there. Itโs Allie. Turner and I arenโt here. You know what to do; bye now. <br /><br />
Sighing, I ruffled the soft shiny fur of our Irish Setter, Blaze. Leaning back on my leather sectional, I
stretched my legs out over the ottoman, closed my eyes, and wondered how many more hours it would
be before I could go back to bed without seeming too pitiful. Perhaps a half-tumbler of Dewarโs Scotch
and a movie would help pass the time. I silenced my cell and closed the office door so there would be no
interruptions. Amazing how many solicitations there were after you signed up for the no-solicitation list.
I never realized beforeโฆ because I rarely was home to hear them. I smiled, recalling a recent
conversation with Allie. <br /><br />
โI swear, Turner, we need to get rid of that phone. Unless youโre in the market for a time share or
extended car warranty, itโs useless. No one we know has a landline anymore.โ <br /><br />
consume him.<br /><br />โBut Allie, what about missing out on the all-expense-paid cruise of our dreams, or lending my social
security number to a Nigerian prince?โ <br /><br />
โUh, those guys donโt call much anymore.โ <br /><br />
โI promise, babeโฆ Iโll get around to it.โ But there it was, still ringing. <br /><br />
Petting Blazeโs head again, I said, โYeah bud, you get what they say about old dogs and new tricks, donโt
you Blaze?โ <br /><br />
Hearing his name, my dog looked over at me expectantly, and then laid his head down on the thick rug.
Back to a movie choice. I could punch up something on Netflix, but lately, most of those movies were
lame. Either stupid rom-coms or crazy fantasy. How about an old favorite instead? <br /><br />
I got up and perused our shelves of old DVDs on either side of the six-foot screen. โHereโs a good one,
Blaze. Havenโt watched this in years. Youโll love it.โ I popped in Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe, sat
back down, put my feet up and took a deep sip of Scotch. It was a long film; maybe it would require a
full tumbler. Or two. <br /><br />
Three hours later, Iโd surprised myself, managing to remain awake through the entire film, and on this
viewing I saw the story so differently. That happens sometimes when rewatching a film. My previous
memory of it was all about warring strategies, power struggles, and grisly scenes of bodies being torn
apart. But this afternoon, I realized the gladiatorโs greatest desire was to leave all power and politics
behind him and return home to his wife and farm. Somehow before Iโd totally missed that aspect.
<br /><br />
I got up and stretched, checking my watch. โWell, boyโฆtime for that walk now, right? Letโs go.โ Blaze
was ready. Hearing the word walk, he began looking anxiously about. โCome on, downstairs. Sheโs not
here today.โ I walked through the utility room, switched from bare feet to slip-on tennis shoes,
attached his leash, and left through the garage. <br /><br />The sun was still thirty minutes away from sizzling into the lake, with the air feeling less humid than
usual. Even in September, Dallas weather could be brutal. โSo, what are you up for? Long one or short
one?โ I looked at the dogโs inquisitive golden-brown eyes. โThatโs what I thought too.โ <br /><br />
We headed down our street, turned at the corner and walked down to the bike trail. Under the shade
of trees, wearing a loose tee-shirt and shorts, it actually felt good to be out. We walked the half-mile to
the large dog park by the lake. I unleashed Blaze, sat down on a bench, and watched him run, dodge,
and scamper with joy among the wide range of large breeds released for play by their work-a-day
parents. <br /><br />
Eventually, another guy came and sat down next to me and, like a proud papa, pointed. โMineโs the
Goldendoodle. Which oneโs yours?โ <br /><br />
โThe Irish Setter with all the pent-up energy. Heโs used to getting out more.โ <br /><br />
โOh, yeah. Heโs a beauty. Waitโฆis that Blaze? Man, Iโm so sorry. I didnโt realizeโฆyour Allieโs husband,
right? She was up here with Blaze all the time. Great lady. Iโm so sorry, dude. Iโm Kevin. Kevin Wells. My
wife and I live nearby.โ <br /><br />
I nodded, smiled stiffly, and stood up. โGood to meet you, Kevin. Thanks. Iโm heading out now.โ
<br /><br />
I walked toward my dog, knowing heโd hate being pulled out so soon, but it was time for us to leave.
Kevin got up and called out after me, โHey, if you ever need to talk or anything, Iโm here most evenings.
Allie, she was awesome. Really gonna miss her around here.โ <br /><br />
I nodded, putting the leash back on the setter. โSure, thanks man.โ We werenโt ready for those
conversations yet. Blaze and I were damaged goods. <br /><br /><b>About the Author:</b><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglXxQ9N3PbPeB_H098TnZYZRXJk
