Blue is the Color of Heaven
Dana Ziemniak lost her son, Evan, because of a dare from a school bully. Since then, she's made it her mission to educate people everywhere about the dangerous social media challenges that prompted the dare. In Blue is the Color of Heaven, Dana discusses her experience getting Evan an adequate diagnosis for his invisible disabilities. Despite her medical training as a pharmacist, she felt hopeless on her journey-even after turning to her school for support. Eventually, Evan was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and high-functioning autism. But it wasn't enough. Blue is the Color of Heaven is her way of taking a stand. In Blue is the Color of Heaven, Dana shares her struggle to getting Evan diagnosed-offering a glimpse into the challenges parents face when children have disabilities. It also sheds light on the inadequacies we see within our schools. But most importantly, it overviews some of the dangers lurking among today's youth. Because how can you protect a child from something you don't know about? Dana Ziemniak worked as a pharmacist for 15 years in various settings-hospital, retail, and specialty-before she quit working to take care of her family. Her job became fighting for her son, Evan, who was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and high-functioning autism. After losing Evan to a dare from a school bully, Dana made it her mission to raise awareness about dangerous social media games, bullying, and other invisible threats that affect today's youth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------"A must read for every parent or anyone who knows a parent! "Dana Ziemniak has painted a picture of her beautiful son Evan and the tragedy that befell their whole family as a result of this activity. It is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. "Having lost my own son to the same 'game, ' I thoroughly understand what she has done and why. I applaud her for her courage and fearlessness in sharing her story in such detail. Despite all the work I've done over the years to spread awareness and education to prevent further deaths from this activity, I don't know that I would have the same mettle to share as deeply as Dana did. Kudos!" Judy Rogg, Director of Erik's Cause

It is like a mirror to look into, it will help to reveal the true condition of your marriage, but at the same time it will encourage you and guide you to a Good and Happy Marriage.The quizzes after each chapter are very helpful and they encourage transparency and honesty.

Peaceful Discipline
In Peaceful Discipline: Story Teaching, Brain Science, & Better Behavior, we explore: The body-brain connection to behavior, why most "consequences" don't work, and what to do instead -- all within the framework of positive discipline How parents and children can regulate their nervous systems to foster greater connection, even in the thick of adversity How to use different types of storytelling and playful parenting as effective and benevolent teachersIt covers these topics from the contexts of neuroscience, attachment theory, and best practices of conscious parenting. This book helps mitigate adults' very real struggles, and gives them specific strategies that increase cooperation and connection, whether they're parenting preschoolers or older school-age children. Excerpt: A parent walks into their child's bedroom and finds the child, for no clear reason, pulling all the clothing out of the drawers and throwing the items haphazardly across the floor. Without missing a beat, the parent yells, "What are you doing? Stop it! Put these clothes away right this second! Sheesh-I just folded them! What are you trying to do to me?" The parent then storms out, warning the child they have five minutes to make the room spotless or there will be negative consequences. The frustration is certainly justified. Who wants to put away laundry once, let alone twice? At the same time, the child likely feels small after having been yelled at by their trusted big person. The child may or may not know why they were throwing the laundry. (Boredom? Curiosity? Temporary loss of marbles, literally or figuratively?) The child may also feel afraid- perhaps of the punishment itself, or perhaps of their perceived loss of connection with their parent. Either way, the child feels distant, helpless, and small-and likely sad or resentful. Soon thereafter, the parent may have collected him- or herself and now feels like a jerk, having yelled for what feels like the hundredth time that week. They hate the way their outbursts seem to drive a wedge between them and their child, even when their feelings are justified. The guilt feels heavy and oppressive. They want a better path forward, but where to start? Is change even possible, much less change to which the child will actually respond? Although the details might differ, we've all been there. Just when everything is moving along peacefully, our child throws us for a loop. They do something we wish they hadn't. We flip out, and it feels like a lost cause. All we wanted was to sit back for a second and take a breath, and now this happens (whatever this is). Why can't things just be easier? Can we actually like our child and feel sure that they like us back? I hear you, and I get it. And I'm here with hope and encouragement for you-along with some very practical tools within the framework of conscious parenting that will help you catch your breath (and exhale it fully, deeply, and calmly).
Honey, Does This Make My Butt Look Big?
How do couples tackle ticklish questions like "Does this make me look fat?" or "Will you go on a diet with me?" What does one partner say when the other loses weight and then gains it back -- and more? Lydia Hanich has created a safe, fun guide to discussing thorny topics such as appearance, weight, food, exercise, sexuality, and eating disorders. Each chapter of Honey, Does This Make My Butt Look Big? presents loaded questions and precarious everyday scenarios with corresponding "right" and "wrong" answers. Included is a brief interpretation of the predicament along with sensible advice about what to say, what not to say, and why. Most partners have a sincere desire to support each other yet often unwittingly contribute to the problem rather than the solution. With cartoon illustrations and a healthy dose of humor, this book provides the answers to those difficult questions.
Choosing Your Words Wisely
The author identifies seven principles of effective communication from Ephesians 4:25-32. These principles can guide how we choose our words and how we can can guard and grow the critical relationships of our lives. The opening chapter builds on the biblical admonition to "speak the truth in love" and develops the idea that the goal of confrontation is reconciliation. Armed with this principle, we can choose words that are framed in such a way that the goal of allowing conflict to draw us closer--not divide us further--can be achieved. There are six other principles that help build a biblical practical framework for choosing our words wisely.

Shanghaied & Shackled
How can injustice be uprighted from that horrible hot blistering day in Florida, August 2005. As a grandmother and grandfather waited outside of a divorce and custody courtroom to testify to the best of their knowledge to protect their precious granddaughter. Instead, the grandparents were SHANGHAIED into the courtroom by a deceiving Judge. As they were entering the Judge immediately cleared the courtroom. He then railed upon the grandparents, ordered the police officers to [illegally] SHACKLE them, and drag them out the back door to six months in Prison. No attorneys present, no rights, no law. In addition, the evil Judge applied a zero contact Restraining Order with the granddaughter they had helped raise. Their grandchild had trusted the grandmother with her tearful story of painful abuse. How could this happen when they had broken no laws, and were protecting their grandchild? Even worse - the Evil Judge stated that he was giving sole custody of the child to her Dad, her alleged perpetrator... This story is about love...struggles...faith...trust being broken...abuse...betrayal and Injustice resulting in irrevocable loss. Annie Aplin, author Born in Georgia, mother of two children, and fourteen grandchildren. I served in the political system in the USA, as well as a Missionary in several Communist/Socialist/Dictatorship countries. While serving in Cuba, Venezuela, China, Haiti, etc., my eyes were opened to the atrocities happening within my own country, and the necessity to expose it. Knowledgeably Voting in person is our duty to preserve Freedom in our nation. Exposing evil with the truth - at all risks - is the way to clean up a corrupt government system. Proverbs 17:15 ERV...The LORD hates these two things: punishing the innocent and letting the guilty go free.
My Daughter, Myself
Grief and mourning are taboo subjects in our society, so how do you interact with the world when yours has been ripped apart by loss? Until recently, people's struggles with mental health and parenting were also hidden topics. Connie Easterbrook was raised in a Dutch household, where sterkte (meaning 'strength') was the way to resolve life's problems, but life didn't bless her with an easy path. Connie was a sensitive and anxious child who, despite having four children, didn't find parenting easy. Her eldest daughter, Simone, died in a car accident when she was twenty-one, yet this was the second tragedy Connie had faced, because her youngest brother had died by suicide when he was twenty-seven. My Daughter, Myself is Connie's journey towards understanding the complex mother-daughter relationship she had with Simone, and her complicated experience of grief. As Connie studied psychology and counselling, her parenting struggles, her losses and her battles with depression became clearer. My Daughter, Myself exposes the flaws of our keep-calm-and-carry-on culture while shining a light on personal insight and growth.

Behind the Dress
A fundamentalist and abusive cult hidden in plain sight. Amazon Prime's docu-series, Shiny Happy People, tells the student's stories of abuse, control and brainwashing that took place in The ATI cult. This is a mother's story of what she lived and the rules she lived by until, thankfully she found herself out of the cult but unable to live in the world like a 'normal' person. Have you known someone who was in a cult? Do you think you know your neighbors pretty well? You really don't know what's going on behind the smile, the dress and the doors of the house down the street. This is the story of a Canadian woman who was in the Advanced Training Institute, run by Bill Gothard, for fourteen years. The amazing thing is that she never knew she was in a cult until several years after she was out. That's what happened to Christine in 2014. She spent the next nine years trying to deprogram and change the way she saw the world. The Advanced Training Institute had all the hallmarks of a cult, it even fit Bill Gothard's definition of a cult, but Christine and her family believed they were God's cream of the crop. Written with humor and candor, her story is both heart wrenching and humorous at the same time.

Stories bring us together and remind us that we aren't alone. Discovering Beautiful is a series of personal stories that illustrate what it's really like to grow up in a dysfunctional home, as a child lost in the shadows of the chaos. It demonstrates how one little girl internalized societal stigma and turned inward to cope with the shame of her reality. This story paints a picture of a family savagely torn apart, destroyed, by toxicity and disconnection. It is a story of desperation, exhaustion, fear, and finally restoration and hope. Childhood trauma survivors aren't alone in the fight to find inner peace. This story will take you on a ride through abuse and destruction but will leave you with hope. Hope is the thread of the Discovering Series. Childhood Trauma powerfully changes people and paths, but Hope gives us the opportunity to pave a new way; to create a life driven by hope and not the traumas that hijacked our childhood.

Fault Lines
Real solutions to a hidden epidemic: family estrangement. Estrangement from a family member is one of the most painful life experiences. It is devastating not only to the individuals directly involved--collateral damage can extend upward, downward, and across generations, More than 65 million Americans suffer such rifts, yet little guidance exists on how to cope with and overcome them. In this book, Karl Pillemer combines the advice of people who have successfully reconciled with powerful insights from social science research. The result is a unique guide to mending fractured families. Fault Lines shares for the first time findings from Dr. Pillemer's ten-year groundbreaking Cornell Reconciliation Project, based on the first national survey on estrangement; rich, in-depth interviews with hundreds of people who have experienced it; and insights from leading family researchers and therapists. He assures people who are estranged, and those who care about them, that they are not alone and that fissures can be bridged. Through the wisdom of people who have "been there," Fault Lines shows how healing is possible through clear steps that people can use right away in their own families. It addresses such questions as: How do rifts begin? What makes estrangement so painful? Why is it so often triggered by a single event? Are you ready to reconcile? How can you overcome past hurts to build a new future with a relative? Tackling a subject that is achingly familiar to almost everyone, especially in an era when powerful outside forces such as technology and mobility are lessening family cohesion, Dr. Pillemer combines dramatic stories, science-based guidance, and practical repair tools to help people find the path to reconciliation.

Civility means being kind and respectful, even if you disagree.The key components addressed in this book include: Fully engage and empower students in efforts to maintain positive relationships and respond effectively when hurtful incidents occur.Focus on "embracing civility," rather than "anti-bullying."Collaboratively build a school climate that will foster positive relationships-rather than relying on adult control "rules and punishment" approaches.Focus on reducing all forms of hurtful behavior, not solely on what is called "bullying."Empower targeted students by supporting them to build their underlying self-confidence and social skills to reduce the likelihood of their being treated badly, effectively respond, and limit emotional harm by through support and a focus on their future.Address the concerns of the students who are the greatest source of hurtful behavior-the popular, "leadership" students who are hurtful to achieve dominance and social status-whose hurtful acts are frequently not recognized.Ensure appropriate policies and practices to prevent staff maltreatment of students, knowing that when staff consistently model kindness and respect for all students, hurtful behavior of students can be significantly reduced.Empower a diverse group of students who are consistently kind and inclusive, who step in to help, and who have a natural drive for leadership to function as a student leadership team encouraging civility, positive relationships, and positive peer intervention.Emphasize positive social norms that the majority of students do not like to see their peers be hurtful to others and strongly admire those who are kind and respectful, step in to help when they witness hurtful incidents, respond to being treated badly in a positive manner, and stop themselves and say they are sorry if they were hurtful.Reduce impulsive retaliation by supporting students in gaining increased self-regulation and personal power, knowing that others can change, having effective problem solving skills, and having positive connections with supportive peers and adults. Engage students who have been hurtful in a diversionary restorative process that leads to acceptance of personal responsibility, efforts to remedy the harm, and a commitment not to engage in further hurtful acts.Provide intensive trauma and resilience informed support for students who are persistently targeted, and those who have suffered adversities, are treated badly at school, and who are also hurtful.Increase positive peer intervention of witnesses by empowering students to step in to help, be supportive of those who are treated badly, encourage those who were hurtful to stop and remedy the harm, and report serious or unresolved situations to an adult who can help.Support staff in gaining the skills to effectively intervene when they witness hurtful incidents.Implement a diversionary restorative approach in more serious, persistent, or pervasive hurtful situations that holds those who are hurtful accountable, supports and empowers those who are treated badly, addresses any school environment concerns that are contributing to the situation, and monitors to ensure things have gotten better for all involved students.
How Can I Make This Worse For You?
"How can I make this worse for you?" is far more than a question. It reflects the attitude of a dominant who is looking to escalate - looking at the current state of a scene and considering what they can do to make it a little worse for the sub. Of course, by "Worse", I really mean: "Harder, more painful, more challenging, more frustrating --- and more enjoyable"! This book is focused on the intent to drive a partner deeper into their helplessness, and ultimately, increase the pleasure of the activity for both partners. As the song goes, "You have to be cruel to be kind...in the right measure".
Trip Down Memory Lane
I have heard the voices of other people who remember sayings from their fore-parents, and I have included them in this book. I am thankful for their input. My friends and I have enjoyed sharing the "wisdom of proverbs" our great-grands, our grandparents, and sometimes, our parents, who have communicated valuable lessons to us down through the years. But, of course, some of those wisdom statements were followed with a good old-fashioned spanking-they called it a whipping-when we did not heed their warnings or sayings. In those days and times, we knew we had to be obedient to those who had the rule over us; that meant obedience to any grownup, and especially obedient to our teachers. The worst whippings we would get were when the teacher reported to our parents that we were hardheaded and disobedient. Teachers knew every parent and where they lived and did not hesitate in reporting what their children were doing in school. In fact, the teacher would have a sit- down supper with the parents to discuss their children. Our children of today need a better connection with the values of their forefathers and foremothers who were not rich in material things but were rich in ethical values. Join me as I revisit these values and sayings, which you may find familiar too.
