It never occurred to me to do otherwise even though my life had basically stopped.

Though they didn't ask, they accepted all of the help I could give them.

In today's climate, too many children are facing decisions no one should ever have to face, but certainly not children. All children need to know is that they are loved and valued.

Do You Know Who I Am?
Infantryman Christopher Harvey's childhood ended at 12 years old when his mom casually told him that he was adopted. Consequently, adulthood for him began when he met his birth mother after he turned 50. And he describes the 38 years in between as a purgatory punctuated by panic attacks, emotional turmoil, and a number of missteps that almost miraculously led him to his birth family. In Do You Know Who I Am? Christopher lays out for the reader in retrospect a cautionary strategy for finding your own family over a generous timeline that can minimize emotional overexertion, curb severe disappointment, and ( most importantly) preserve your dignity and sanity.

An Ordinary Person's Perspective on an Extraordinary Year
A few months into the Covid-19 pandemic, just as it was getting real, I learned there was a documentary about the influenza pandemic of 1918 and sat down it to watch. I was struck by the similarities between that time and the experiences we were having over one hundred years later. Digging a little deeper, I found that there were tremendous efforts to learn from the devastation of that disease to prepare us for the next, inevitable pandemic. I couldn't help but wonder what life was really like back then. How things were the same and how they were different. Surely now, with worldwide internet connectivity, instantaneous communication, advances in medicine and learnings from past pandemics, we should be in a good place to stop this thing in its tracks. But, despite all our modern-day tools, we failed to control the spread. Instead, we let this virus sicken and kill millions of people while we became a more divided, more reactive, and more broken species. I hope stories like this one help us to learn. I am not an expert on the Covid-19 virus, vaccinations, treatments for viruses, or the psychological effects of the pandemic on people. Despite having a career in healthcare, I am not a public health or infectious disease expert, nor am I well-educated in politics or social sciences. I am not an expert in anything, really. I am just brave enough and have sufficient time on my hands to write down and share a story. But it is just a story about what was happening in my world. You may not agree with me or with my reactions, which doesn't make me right or wrong. It just proves that we have different views, are in a different phase of life, or that our experiences have shaped our perspectives differently. I am an American who was born and raised in Southern California. This is the story of an ordinary person and her thoughts about an extraordinary time. It is also an opportunity to say thank you to the friends and family who helped me through some of the most impactful and tragic days of my life.

The Rainbow Experience
After discovering that Shelley's youngest child had verbal communication delays and later being diagnosed as having Autistic Spectrum Conditions, she chose to look at life through the eyes of the child. Shelley was guided to look deeper into understanding him on a soul level and was intuitively learning new strategies to assist with his unpredictable emotions. This naturally created the space to support his siblings in the same way by exploring deeper beneath the surface and discovering that they both found it incredibly difficult to learn in todays' mainstream school environments. Shelley embraces the spiritual and human aspects of life as a parent, as a fresh perspective was needed for her family. She learned of the impact early trauma had on her style of parenting and so it became her mission to reach other parents walking the same path. In this book, Shelley talks about her mental health journey and how a holistic approach to recovery and energy healing helped her make sense of childhood trauma and experienced birth trauma. She explains how parenting opened her eyes to a broken education system and how a 'one size fits all' approach within mainstream school doesn't address the needs of every individual. Each child should be entitled to embrace a unique learning experience.
Do's & Don'ts of Relationships
Do's & Don'ts of Relationships/ Nine Steps To A Deeper, Richer Love Relationship is about love relationship success. It starts with dating and then moves onto love relationships, marriage, and reminds you of putting together a success plan to break-up proof your relationships and divorce-proof your marriage. As the reader, you will not complain that there is not enough in the book, as it covers a great deal of territory offering dozens of tips for success as well as many more such as understanding the sexes, secrets to attaining success in a relationship, dating tips and winning the dating game, preventing infidelity, abusive behavior, behavior to absolutely avoid in relationships, behavior to pursue, not marrying to get divorced, thriving after divorce, developing a success plan and many more important issues. Using his many years of experience as a love relationship expert coupled with a good deal of research, Do's & Don'ts of Relationships: Nine Steps to a Deeper, Richer Love Relationship (Volume 3) shows the reader how to avoid love relationships and marriages from falling apart. This book is about relationship success and how to attain it. No matter how much our society has evolved in various achievements, love relationship success remains elusive as evidenced by the high divorce rate. We read about it, we watch television shows about it, however, unfortunately we barely recognize the problem. If we thought carefully, we would analyze the kind of relationship we are seeking, the kind of male or female we are born to be with, and what we bring to the table. And the books end with professionally created recipes. The topics are detailed at length providing practical advice that is backed with concrete anecdotes taken from his own professional practice. For example, "everyone wants to be happy and successful at love, but how do you know if the person you have met is the right one?" The author offers six suggestions: know what you want, be strategic, hook 'em with a powerful incentive, seek confirmation that he or she is the right one, nurture the relationship, and be available. In another section concerning dating, the author delves into questions as to how to send the right message, adopting a dating philosophy, what do men and women really want, when do you know he or she loves you, and when do women and men introduce their partner to mom, dad and friends.

Suddenly, Tonya joyfully finds herself in love with a man for the first time in her life. But Tonya's happiness turns to fearful bliss when she happens upon Satin Pierce, a strikingly beautiful bookstore owner, who has one of Tonya's sculptures on a shelf in her bedroom. Soon, Tonya becomes the centerpiece of a love triangle in which she is forced to choose between the man of her dreams and the woman destined to be her reality.
