Bruises on the Heart is a story about the cycle of violence passed down through three generations of one family in West Virginia. The story covers a period from 1946 to the early 1970's and chronicles the love and desperation that keeps a family together even though violence and fear intermingle daily with love and hope. The story covers a broad range of emotions from hope to despair, from the excitement of new love to the futility of a life of violence, from sad endings to new beginnings. The characters come alive on the pages of the book.
A healthy lifestyle is a popular way to deal with aging, but the serious fun and games don't have to end once middle age sets in. This guidebook is aimed at men and women over 40 (or 50, or 60, or 70) who seek the challenge of athletic competition. The book focuses on those sports requiring significant physical exertion and includes team sports such as soccer, softball and basketball and individual sports such as skiing, tennis and swimming. Chapters on each sport identify the national sponsoring organization and regional affiliates, describe the types of competition available, and give a breakdown of the competitors by age and gender. A "How to Get Started" section describes basic skills needed for each sport, equipment required to compete, opportunities for coaching, and suggested books and videos for beginners. The book also features a list of the 2007 or 2008 national champions in each sport.
It is easy to be a terrorist in America. Everything you need is in your local supermarket. Forget dynamite or gunpowder. Forget guns. Americans keep the most technologically advanced toys of any country in the world. The most deadly killers in the world this side of water, and all it takes is a spark. A few wires, a battery (usually provided) and you're set. The Quiet Man's foray into terrorism required more than a few wires. He required a targeted approach. Cruise missiles up the tailpipe. A couple of transistors and switches. The car alarm comes on, the device is armed. The car alarm switches off...five...four...three...two... And that's that. Ten cars. Ten devices. There were the usual calls for rounding up all Arabs and 'detaining' them for 'questioning.' Long-term questioning behind barbed wire. Don't panic, said the police. Hell, let 'em panic, said everyone else. Maybe they'll turn their damn alarms off. They did. Sunday morning the Quiet Man slept in peace. But not because it was quiet. The lack of car alarms didn't stop the bottles and the screams. He slept because he'd done something. The Quiet Man slept and dreamt of power.
It is difficult not to be emotionally involved in this human realm since emotions are a critical part of this planet. You already know the best way not to experience trauma: Remain in your heart source. Trauma begins in your life when you come into your physical body before birth. Trauma is held in your body even before your soul enters it. Because trauma affects your energy bodies, typical psychological therapy — cognitive or behavioral — does not cure those effects. Trauma must be addressed in layers that include all your bodies, energetic and physical. This is why resolving trauma takes much time. On the emotional level, you begin to doubt who you are. You might experience a...
Charlotte has lived over seventy years with many interests. She was encouraged by her father to work hard and persevere, then was told, "You can do anything you want." This was in the 1940s when it was not acceptable for girls to be strong and athletic. However, through sports, she learned a discipline that would open many doors and make her successful in a variety of areas: basketball, swimming, softball, bowling, tennis, building houses, serving on the governor's advisory board, founding a drug treatment center for teenagers, bringing Nar-Anon east of the Mississippi River, homeschooling grandchildren, and teaching swimming and tennis. She had many "life is good" days but went through roug...

When Bruce Donovan, a young Madison Avenue executive and the son of advertising mogul Kent Donovan, impulsively kisses Carolyn, a young college student working for Bruce, all kinds of sparks fly. When Carolyn tells her parents what happened, she is persuaded by her father to confront the Donovans and threaten to press sexual harassment charges.

Filled with humor, pathos, and the resilience of young love, Just a Kiss is a warm and sweet romance that brings us back to the wonder and excitement of our own first love and lost youth.
