Georgia's Orchard
Sometimes the love between a dog and the dog's companion can be a bond like no other experience in a human's lifetime. The unconditional love given by a dog to its owner is life-changing for many of us. Enter a lop-eared Beagle by the name of Georgia. She appeared older than her ten weeks, and she had the wisdom of an old soul. She was loyal and seemed to have a sixth sense that told her when danger was near, except the one time she wasn't on her guard, the time danger found her, and she chose to stand her ground. Enjoy Georgia's Orchard: The story is taken from the author's memories and accounts by her son, Gregg. Georgia's Orchard: My Best Buddy Georgia, A Confused Runaway, Independence, Home Sweet Home, Georgia Gone Missing, Georgia Rushed to the Vet, All Dogs Don't Go To Heaven, Georgia the Hero, Running Through High Clover...My Mom didn't know that I bought Georgia to comfort a girl I was trying to help, a confused runaway I met at a party at a friend's house. She thought she was in love with me the moment she discovered I had a pad of my own. I'd agreed to bring her home with me when she asked if she could stay with me for a while. At twenty years of age, I was still not too sure I knew anything about girls; late bloomer, I suppose."You can stay at my house as a friend," I told her, "but that's it."My taste ran more toward PlayStation(R)2 and the latest video games. When I wasn't playing video games, I was running in the forest surrounding our house. I knew every game trail for miles. I found peace in nature missing in my own mind. Despite Tracy's good looks, flaming red hair (a weakness of mine), ocean-blue eyes, and quick sense of humor, I was wise enough to know a runaway when I saw one. Tracy looked wide-eyed, confused, scared, pale, and lost, worst yet -she looked young. I knew I was in over my head one day at lunch over a big bowl of veggie soup when Tracy said, "I think I need to tell you something. I am sixteen..."Georgia would have her head resting on my arm...On 18 August 2009, a deer jumped in front of Gregg's Harley Davidson Sporster. He sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI), consisting of seven skull fractures; though he wore a helmet, the deer kicked him in the head, split the helmet in half, and continued kicking him until it died as the bike lay on top both of them. Gregg was hospitalized for 2 1/2 months. His long-term memory is intact, but he has no short-term memory. He suffered no body injuries. He recalled the accident in vivid detail seven months afterward, right up until the time the ambulance came to his aid. That was the last thing he remembers. It is locked in his long-term memory with all his other memories. Over the past nearly twelve years now, Gregg has completed a rehabilitation center program for five months. At one time, he worked daily with seven different therapists, including a Speech Therapist, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, among others, and progressed well. Gregg was a working artist and was a few credits short of obtaining his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He made replicas of antique furniture, was an avid photographer, painter, created sculptures, and worked as a leader in the art community to bring other artists together to share their craft and talents. Gregg now makes his home with his mother, Kat Kaelin. She talks to Gregg about Georgia and Georgia's Orchard. When she told him, she wrote the story about Georgia. Gregg replied, "Read it to me."After his mom read him the story, he said, "You told our story. That makes me happy."Gregg's relationship with Georgia shows the love of a man for his dog, but more importantly, it shows the sustaining power of love and the power of the independent spirit in all of us. Gregg cannot tell you what he ate for breakfast this morning, but he remembers Georgia and the time the two of them shared in the sunshine under the trees.

A Marriage Manual for Former Homosexuals
Sexuality in humans is an intended and basic element in creation. God made man and woman; God made sex. These basic tenets of biblical faith form the core of a theology of marriage. Marriage is the context of human sexuality, invented not by man but by God.By God's Spirit, genuine conversion places each of us into Christ. Paul says we are a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17); we are made new in Christ. All the problems have not been cleared up, but from God's point of view, we are saints. A gay person who trusts Christ as Savior can break out of the homosexual label. It is not adopting a heterosexual label, but rather it is identifying with Christ.The kind of marriage relationship referred to here can only happen when two people freely choose to be committed to and involved with each other. It means making a decision to work out problems and overcome disagreements. It means growing together bit by bit, persevering in love when it appears separation is possible.We do not promote "conversion therapy," and neither did the Love In Action ministry. In the 1970s, when few were proud to be gay, there were those who wanted out of that life. Despite the pride movement, there are still those who want out of the gay lifestyle, even some of those who marched in gay parades in San Francisco. For many, the gay life is not very gay at all.Few know the battle, the wrestling against powerful bodily forces plus the schemes of the devil, like those who seek to honor their Lord Jesus and turn from sexual sin. There are stories of people who have fallen away and gotten mired once again in homosexuality. Yet, there are the stories of many who turned their eyes upon Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit have resisted the wiles of their enemy, Satan. May this be so for those who examine this volume.Now, fifty-two years after writing the Marriage Manual for Former Homosexuals as a thesis for a DMin degree at San Francisco Theological Seminary (Presbyterian, USA), in San Anselmo, California, it has come time for its publication.Contains explicit sexual language.

Better Parenting
In the management of the behavior of children, there are a number of behavioral principles that are employed by parents. Using proven principles to guide the parent is to assure that the parent is consistent and effective in their management and discipline of their children. It is important for parents to see themselves as being able to bring about positive changes in the behavior patterns of their children. By utilizing positive strategies rather than drawing upon the strong emotions, such as anger, frustration, or becoming overly punitive is preferred. These negative approaches only create ill-will and ill-feelings between parent and child. Unfortunately, they are also ineffective in the long run. Therefore, the generally accepted behavioral principles in the management of children are set forth in the thirty-one questions. Read each question and consider how you would handle that particular situation or utilizing that particular discipline strategy in the home with your children. It is recommended that you read one item per day or week. Do so for 30 days or weeks as you learn effective parenting strategies. The best to you as you work through this "manual" on parenting using behavioral principles and strategies. Together, let's make parenting enjoyable and effective. Let's help our kids become positive and contributing members of their community.

Lady and the Tribe
Wives, mothers and career women - we have all fallen victim to the silent epidemic that is, literally . . . letting ourselves go. Not the weight-gain, makeup-free, yoga-pants routine. Little by little, we have allowed our preferences, interests, and individuality to slip away until we no longer recognize ourselves outside of our role as wives, mothers, or professionals. Who we are has become what we do. In the process, our friendships have become the casualty of a "busy life" and lack consistency and depth. We have a gaping hole inside us that longs to be filled. How do we reclaim who we really are and fill this empty space that seemed to appear from nowhere? The answer lies in our Tribe. Our best friends see us more clearly than we see ourselves and are representations and extensions of our individuality. They are our companions, cheerleaders, and counselors-always in our corner. They are the branches of our tree of life that lift and support us, so we can flourish. Our Tribe is the family with whom we choose to live our life . . . with no strings attached. Lady and the Tribe is a blueprint for building deep connections. As you read, you'll be swept away on a journey of friendship as the author shares her own personal stories and those of other women. In the process, you'll discover how to find, nurture, and deepen friendships and create a Tribe culture that is unique to you. We can become whole again through the power of connection. When three or more gather, we are Tribe.

Sweet & Sour Uncle
This is a love story that spans over a sixty-eight-year period. Some of this time was unrequited love for a painful twenty-eight years and also a happy time of reconciliation.. The main character of the story is Ralph H. Little (1908-1999).He pursued the "Love of his life," Freda, for all of his adult live. A log house in the Oregon woods defines Ralph more than anything else in his life. He was told during the courtship of Freda that one condition of marriage was the building of a log house on her father's 180-acre, Oregon homestead.Logs were cut by hand and hauled to the construction site by horses. The log house was built not only with hard work and sweat, by "Uncle" Ralph, but primarily with love for his beloved Freda.Ralph suffered betrayal and the loss of Freda. After 28 dark and lonely years Freda returned after she suffered a betrayal in her life. There was a happy remarriage and almost immediately Freda suffered illness and became bed-ridden. Freda was expected to live for only six months. Ralph lived out his marriage vows by nursing Freda for 13 years beyond the time she was expected to live.Following the death of Freda, Ralph began showing signs of dementia. He pleaded with his nephew and niece, who became his caregivers, to help him stay in his log house, for as long as possible. He often said, "I will have to be handcuffed to leave this house." Sadly it eventually came to pass that is exactly what happened.This story is also about those, "sweet and sour times", and the resulting family relationships and legal issues often faced by caregivers.

Self-Determination Theory and Healthy Aging
This book pioneers evidence-based research on healthy aging through the application of self determination theory (SDT). Its uniqueness is located in the fact that to date, no other work has applied SDT to the empirical study of aging populations. The authors focus on how SDT drives healthy, successful and active aging, and note that the motivation factors underpinning healthy aging are often neglected, or altogether absent, in the existing literature. This edited volume is particularly timely given the expanding aging crisis in many North American, European and Asian contexts. The collection of chapters meets this challenge head-on in comparing these contexts vis-a-vis a broad international scope, and subsequent discussions on important specialty issues in aging, such as hearing and memory loss. The work offers global perspectives on aging, autonomy and associated life challenges, as well as factors relating to the sustainability of healthy aging in terms of physical and mental well-being. This book will be highly relevant to researchers in the SDT community, as well as specialists in aging and gerontology. It will also be of interest to lifespan psychologists and developmental psychologists.
