I'm Not Dead Yet!
I'M NOT DEAD YET!Living with Purpose, Leaving with LoveWhat do you do when life hands you a diagnosis that refuses to play by the rules?In I'm Not Dead Yet!, Tom Hawks II-coach, storyteller, husband, father, grandfather, and 15-year pancreatic cancer survivor-invites you into the raw, honest, sometimes humorous, and deeply human reality of living with cancer long after the shock of diagnosis fades. This is not a story about "beating" cancer. It's about learning how to live fully while carrying it.With warmth and hard-won wisdom, Tom introduces Living Connected(TM) Cancer Coaching, a philosophy born from lived experience-not theory. Living Connected(TM) goes beyond survival checklists and clinical advice. It focuses on what actually sustains people over time: meaningful relationships, emotional resilience, presence, purpose, and legacy. It speaks to patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who know that surviving cancer is as much an emotional and spiritual journey as it is a medical one.At the heart of this philosophy is Tommy2Dogs, a deeply personal expression of Living Connected(TM) inspired by Tom's life, his story, and the steady companionship of his two Weimaraners, Milo and Zoey. Tommy2Dogs reflects the simple but powerful truth woven throughout this book: healing doesn't happen in isolation. It happens in connection-in shared moments, quiet presence, unconditional love, and the everyday reminders that we are not alone.Through personal stories, reflections, and coaching insights, Tom shows how staying connected-to people, to meaning, and to what matters most-can transform fear into clarity and isolation into belonging. His voice is compassionate, practical, and refreshingly real, offering readers permission to stop pretending they're "fine" and start living honestly and wholeheartedly.This book is for: Anyone living with cancer or chronic illnessCaregivers who want to support without losing themselvesSurvivors navigating the long road after treatmentHealthcare professionals seeking deeper human connection with those they serveAnyone searching for purpose in the face of uncertaintyI'm Not Dead Yet! isn't about denial or false positivity.It's about choosing connection over fear, presence over panic, and meaning over waiting.Because as long as you're here, your story isn't over-and neither is your capacity to Live Connected.

The ReSET
What happens after I choose purposeful alignment?

In The ReSET, you will learn to: Courageously name your purposeLean into the power of disequilibriumEmbrace disruption as medicineUncover the layers above, beyond, and deepManeuver through mini-stories and archetypesRelease the baggage and fearsRealign your labor, energy, and perspectivesBecome a radical storyteller of your own narrativeThe ReSET is an intentional journey to reset and rewrite a new story, one that guides new, emerging, and seasoned leaders through the process and work of mastering three elevated disciplines: The Pause, The Pivot, and Forward Stance. The result is to become a radical storyteller, poised and strategically positioned to lead at the next level in every area of life.

Mastering the Art of Gratitude
Gratitude is often reduced to a courteous gesture or a passing emotion-something expressed in moments of joy or comfort. Yet its true essence runs far deeper. Mastering the Art of Gratitude Series is a soulful and transformative exploration of gratitude not merely as a feeling, but as a refined way of perceiving, living, and awakening. Across three interconnected volumes, this series gently guides readers from the simple acknowledgment of life's blessings to the embodied realization of gratitude as a steady, luminous state of being.Written in a lyrical yet grounded voice, the series weaves together spirituality, psychology, reflective practice, and poetic insight. These are not conventional self-help manuals filled with rigid steps; they are living dialogues-quiet conversations with the heart. Each volume builds organically upon the previous one, creating a seamless inner pilgrimage that reshapes perception, softens resistance, and reveals the sacred rhythm flowing beneath everyday experience.Volume I - Foundations of GratitudeThe journey begins with remembrance. Volume One invites readers to slow down and rediscover gratitude beyond fleeting emotion or forced positivity. Here, gratitude is unveiled as awareness-an inner light capable of illuminating both joy and sorrow, gain and loss. Through reflective prose and gentle contemplative exercises, readers explore the psychology and science behind appreciation, the power of presence, gratitude within adversity, and the delicate balance between giving and receiving. This foundational volume nurtures a quieter mind, a softened heart, and a renewed sense of grace in daily living. Gratitude becomes less about circumstance and more about perception.Volume II - Deepening the PracticeIn the second volume, gratitude expands into the living fabric of relationships, nature, emotions, and subtle energy. Appreciation becomes relational and dynamic. Readers discover how gratitude strengthens human connection, dissolves inner resistance, and attunes awareness to the intelligence of the natural world. Through stories, journaling prompts, and mindful practices, this volume helps transform scarcity into abundance and habitual reaction into conscious response. Gratitude evolves from a private feeling into a living practice-something embodied, expressed, and radiated through everyday interactions. It becomes a frequency that elevates one's inner climate.Volume III - Embodiment and MasteryThe final volume carries gratitude into its fullest expression: transformation. Moving beyond understanding into integration, Volume Three presents gratitude as an alchemical force-one that turns pain into wisdom, uncertainty into purpose, and endings into renewal. Through meditative rituals, reflective storytelling, and heart-centered disciplines, readers learn to sustain gratitude amid life's inevitable challenges. Here, gratitude matures into a living presence that shapes intuition, service, creativity, and leadership. It becomes not only something one practices, but something one becomes.Together, these three volumes form a complete arc-from noticing life's gifts, to harmonizing with them, to embodying gratitude as purposeful action. Whether you are beginning a spiritual journey, deepening a mindfulness practice, or seeking emotional resilience and meaning, this series meets you where you are and gently guides you inward.Mastering the Art of Gratitude Series is ultimately an invitation-to remember what has always resided within you: that life, in all its shades and seasons, is a sacred gift. One breath at a time. One moment at a time. One awakening at a time.

Just an Animal
If you've ever grieved for a pet, you've probably heard people say, "Why are you so upset? It's just an animal." Comments like this are hurtful, especially when you're heartbroken for the loss of an animal you consider to be your soulmate. People who say things like this may be insensitive, but their perspective also reflects the world we live in. Although most people consider their pets valued members of their families, as a society we continue to minimize the grief people experience when they lose their pets. In fact, research shows that most pet keepers grieve alone because they worry that others will dismiss their feelings or accuse them of being overly emotional.Just an Animal offers a critical perspective on this phenomenon. Digging deep into the historical record, it explores the ideological foundations of a false narrative about animals that distorts reality and fails to reflect the powerful bonds millions of people share with their animal companions. It also chronicles how this outdated perspective is shifting as pet enthusiasts, animal healers and protectors, animal scientists, and spiritual leaders tell a new story about our fellow creatures that celebrates their remarkable intelligence, exquisite emotional sensitivity, and simple wisdom.If you've ever struggled to find sympathetic support after losing a cherished pet, this book will give you a fresh perspective on your experience and a deeper understanding of the social forces that have shaped your grief journey. You'll realize that you're not alone-that countless people just like you grieve intensely for their animal companions and that such grief is a fitting response to the loss of an important relationship.Just an Animal is the third book in the Pet Chaplain(R) Learning Series, a four-volume set that explores pet keeping and loss and offers instruction in interfaith spiritual care for pet loss. The series is the brainchild of Rob Gierka, EdD, who founded Pet Chaplain, a community service and educational organization, in 2004. Rob and his coauthor Karen Duke have practiced veterinary chaplaincy in community and clinical settings, and they've also taught veterinary chaplaincy worldwide. Visit petchaplain.com to learn more.

Mastering the Art of Gratitude
Gratitude is often reduced to a courteous gesture or a passing emotion-something expressed in moments of joy or comfort. Yet its true essence runs far deeper. Mastering the Art of Gratitude Series is a soulful and transformative exploration of gratitude not merely as a feeling, but as a refined way of perceiving, living, and awakening. Across three interconnected volumes, this series gently guides readers from the simple acknowledgment of life's blessings to the embodied realization of gratitude as a steady, luminous state of being.Written in a lyrical yet grounded voice, the series weaves together spirituality, psychology, reflective practice, and poetic insight. These are not conventional self-help manuals filled with rigid steps; they are living dialogues-quiet conversations with the heart. Each volume builds organically upon the previous one, creating a seamless inner pilgrimage that reshapes perception, softens resistance, and reveals the sacred rhythm flowing beneath everyday experience.Volume I - Foundations of GratitudeThe journey begins with remembrance. Volume One invites readers to slow down and rediscover gratitude beyond fleeting emotion or forced positivity. Here, gratitude is unveiled as awareness-an inner light capable of illuminating both joy and sorrow, gain and loss. Through reflective prose and gentle contemplative exercises, readers explore the psychology and science behind appreciation, the power of presence, gratitude within adversity, and the delicate balance between giving and receiving. This foundational volume nurtures a quieter mind, a softened heart, and a renewed sense of grace in daily living. Gratitude becomes less about circumstance and more about perception.Volume II - Deepening the PracticeIn the second volume, gratitude expands into the living fabric of relationships, nature, emotions, and subtle energy. Appreciation becomes relational and dynamic. Readers discover how gratitude strengthens human connection, dissolves inner resistance, and attunes awareness to the intelligence of the natural world. Through stories, journaling prompts, and mindful practices, this volume helps transform scarcity into abundance and habitual reaction into conscious response. Gratitude evolves from a private feeling into a living practice-something embodied, expressed, and radiated through everyday interactions. It becomes a frequency that elevates one's inner climate.Volume III - Embodiment and MasteryThe final volume carries gratitude into its fullest expression: transformation. Moving beyond understanding into integration, Volume Three presents gratitude as an alchemical force-one that turns pain into wisdom, uncertainty into purpose, and endings into renewal. Through meditative rituals, reflective storytelling, and heart-centered disciplines, readers learn to sustain gratitude amid life's inevitable challenges. Here, gratitude matures into a living presence that shapes intuition, service, creativity, and leadership. It becomes not only something one practices, but something one becomes.Together, these three volumes form a complete arc-from noticing life's gifts, to harmonizing with them, to embodying gratitude as purposeful action. Whether you are beginning a spiritual journey, deepening a mindfulness practice, or seeking emotional resilience and meaning, this series meets you where you are and gently guides you inward.Mastering the Art of Gratitude Series is ultimately an invitation-to remember what has always resided within you: that life, in all its shades and seasons, is a sacred gift. One breath at a time. One moment at a time. One awakening at a time.
