For Better for Worse
Are you one of the many men and women living your life in self-doubt, feeling worthless because of the harmful impact of reckless choices made by others in your life? Feeling you are hopeless, helpless, and powerless against the many trials that just won't stop coming in your personal life as well as raising children alone can be overwhelming. Reach for God's hand and grab it. He wants to give you the courage to step out in faith and change your life beyond anything you can imagine. For Better For Worse author Elaine Norman reveals her life with a narcissistic, philandering husband who tromped on her with his on-going parade of women and lies only to remarry a man who tried to destroy her with his controlling, railing tirades that left her feeling she had no value. Unending problems with his children caused her to lose closeness with her own girls. During both of her marriages, she enabled her husbands to continue their condescending, disrespectful ways. God allowed her to have undeniable physical pain and personal torment to wake her up and lead her to Him and freedom.

Otherwise Engaged
"The Metropolitan Museum of Art Engagement Book has been my calendar of choice as long as I can remember. However, since 2009, I've taken to adding collage elements to the reproduction on each weekly page. Items selected come from a variety of sources: brochures or postcards from exhibits or events attended, articles of personal interest from newspapers and periodicals, current art projects, photos taken on city streets, or whatever quirky item that crosses my path. The only criterion for me is that these elements be acquired, created or found during the corresponding week, making each collage, in essence, a visual diary." -- description from the artist's Behance page

The results were presented to over a thousand substance abuse prevention specialists in a series of seminars throughout New York State. This book is a result of a need of effective strategies and training for those present were working in the field, in schools and community agencies, attempting to accomplish adolescent substance abuse prevention.
