Daily Reminders for Living a New Paradigm
We spend a lot of time thinking about how to better ourselves: our bodies and minds, our lives, our world. It's a natural human inclination. At this point in human history, though, we could use some help. The societies we've created are increasingly destructive, not only to themselves but to the planet. We need a new paradigm--and a way to live it.The journey to a new way of living requires faith, because we can't see where it will lead. However, we're better equipped for this journey than we realize. Anne Wilson Schaef suggests that deep within ourselves--in our cells, in our ancestral blood, in our archaic souls--we have the ancient knowledge we need to find our way. We simply need to remember what we know. In this book, Dr. Schaef uses 30 themes to build cycles of "reminders" that expand and deepen over the course of the year. Through insightful reflections on themes including the Reminder that All Is Process and In Process, while Stressing the Importance of Honesty, Exploring Our Beliefs and Assumptions, Accepting Our Humanness, and Walking in Beauty, we broaden our perspective and open our minds so we can live more fully.
The Country House Kitchen Garden 1600-1950
Country house kitchen gardens were designed as perfect 'grown your own' environments and ensured that many households were supplied with their own fruit and vegetables throughout the year. This book offers an insight into the digging and sowing of these gardens, as well as exploring how walled gardens contributed towards a sustainable lifestyle and often were a source of not just food, but also natural medicines. A wealth of contemporary illustrations, material from archives, gardening manuals, seed catalogues, engravings and other documents, paint a vivid picture of the country house kitchen garden and its development over three and a half centuries. This delightful book recounts an important part of our historic houses and their national heritage – to be enjoyed by gardeners and non-gardeners alike.

Hover
Helicopter pilot Lt. Sara Denning joins a navy battle group with little fanfare—and that's just the way she likes it. After her brother Ian's tragic death, her career path seemed obvious: step into his shoes and enter the Naval Academy, despite her fear of water. Sara's philosophy is simple—blend in, be competent, and above all, never do anything to stand out as a woman in a man's world. Somewhere along the way, Sara lost herself—her feminine, easygoing soul is now buried under so many defensive layers, she can't reach it anymore. When she meets strong, self-assured Lt. Eric Marxen, her defenses start to falter. Eric coordinates flight operations for a Navy SEAL team that requests Sara...
