A Doctor's Dozen
Burnout affects a third of our population and over half of our health professionals. For the second group, the impact is magnified, as consequences play out not only on a personal level, but also on a societal level and lead to medical errors, suboptimal care, low levels of patient satisfaction, and poor clinical outcomes. Achieving wellbeing requires strategies for change. In this book, Dr. Pipas shares twelve lessons and strategies for improved health that she has learned from patients, students, and colleagues over her twenty years working as a family physician. Each lesson is based on observation and research, and begins with a story of an exemplary patient whose challenges and successes reflect the theme of the lesson. Along with the lessons, the author offers plans for action, which taken together create the framework for a healthy life. Each lesson concludes with resources and a "health challenge."

The Secrets of a Fifty-Year Romantic Expedition
Do you remember the first day I saw you? The first date we had? The first time I took you into my arms? The vow we made? Do you realize it is fifty years since we said “I do”? I love you my first lady, my queen. With Jesus as our guiding light we will continue to walk together until death. By the power of prayer I have found you. You are my special treasure. You are a life partner with so much strength and compassion, a partner with such integrity and goodness in your heart; you have guarded the inner circle of our relationship and made it the sacred centre of our life, just for Jesus, you and me. God used a picture in Ezekiel 16 to describe His people and I would like to paraphrase it by saying. ”When I pass by you again and look upon you, indeed your heart was the heart of love; so I spread my arms and covered you, I went into a covenant with you; a covenant that cannot be broken.” The more I know you, the deeper I appreciate and love you. It’s like how I’d cherish and treasure a rare and priceless work of art.
