Quest for Healing – EBOOK A Story of LoveJoin Wendy on her inspirational journey as she seeks healing from the effects of her childhood diabetes. This is an inspiring story about miracles and the rekindling of hope…. Wendy spent much of her life looking for answers to the health issues caused by childhood diabetes, and because of this she discovered a wealth of knowledge in this area. She consistently recovered from health issues in ways that both confounded and inspired the medical community. After a major stroke, the medical community thought she would never speak again. But she went on to speak, write, walk, and live with passion and joy. With gangrene, things did not look good for her foot….but she found ways to heal and continue. With kidney failure, dietary factors played a significant role, but it was through a successful balance of thought, exercise, and happiness, that she was able to survive 20 years on dialysis. Wendy is living proof that anything is possible with Love, Determination, and Faith. By focusing mind, body, and spirit, she rediscovered the meaning of wellness. This is a story based on Wendy's life. Names have been changed in order to protect identities, but the story itself is truth. The process of writing this book took more than twenty-two years to unfold. The author hopes that this book will show you how to fill your days with magic and laughter. She Believes in Magic by Dr. Andre Pickersgill, MD I have known Wendy for over ten years, as a doctor and as a friend. When modern medicine had little to offer her, she showed courage and strength beyond expectation. She achieved significant, verifiable improvements in her medical condition through diet, supplements, and faith. She has taught me much about respecting patient autonomy, and I have learned to expand my reality, and experience life more fully. Reading this book has provided a fascinating glimpse of the spirit inside this person dealing with more than her share of challenges. Revealed are the pain, despair, love and joy which make Wendy more real than most people I know. And the best part is…she believes in magic. Keep Reaching for Dreamsby Dr. Alastair Pirie Chiropractor, Cosmoneurobiologist It has been said, that courage is a special kind of knowledge, not the absence of fear, but rather the realization that something else is more important than fear. It can never be an easy task to keep reaching for dreams. Strength and courage can sometimes be lonely friends, but those who can reach, walk in stardust. Wendy is just such a being. In this difficult age we are experiencing on Earth, Wendy inspires us to broaden our horizons, to move out of our narrow reality tunnels and to embrace a model of life that is permeated by intelligence and wisdom far removed from the local and mundane. “A Quest for Healing, A Story of Love,” is a remarkable piece of writing revealed to us from the heart and soul of an equally remarkable woman. Wendy’s journey has been and will continue to be a source of tremendous insight for me personally as I too continue to try to contemplate and understand the intricacies of the mind-body system. Thank you Wendy!!!!! Wendy Abelson RNCP, ROHP is a registered practitioner with the International Organization of Nutritional Consultants.
21st-Century Yokel
'Glorious – funny and wry and wise, and utterly its own lawmaker' Robert Macfarlane 'A rich, strange, oddly glorious brew' Guardian Longlisted for the Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize 2018 21st-Century Yokel [b][/b] is not quite nature writing, not quite a family memoir, not quite a book about walking, not quite a collection of humorous essays, but a bit of all five. Thick with owls and badgers, oak trees and wood piles, scarecrows and ghosts, and Tom Cox's loud and excitable dad, this book is full of the folklore of several counties – the ancient kind and the everyday variety – as well as wild places, mystical spots and curious objects. Emerging from this focus on the detail are themes that are broader and bigger and more important than ever. Tom's writing treads a new path, one that has a lot in common with a rambling country walk; it's bewitched by fresh air and big skies, intrepid in minor ways, haunted by weather and old stories and the spooky edges of the outdoors, restless and prone to a few detours, but it always reaches its destination in the end.

Helena Rubinstein
Helena Rubinstein was born into a poor Polish family at the end of the nineteenth century; by the time of her death in 1965 she had built a cosmeti empire that spanned the world. When Rubinstein opened her first salon in Melbourne, her scientific approach to beauty was an instant sensation. Women just couldn't get enough of her innovative advice on skincare, and her beauty products were constantly sold out. Having conquered Australia, Rubinstein went on to open salons in Europe and America, at a time when women were barely seen in business, let alone running their own multinational companies. Dressed by Chanel and Yves St Laurent, painted by Salvador Dali and Picasso and mingling with Colette and Proust, Helena Rubinstein not only enjoyed unbelievable success, but was also instrumental in empowering and liberating women. Helena Rubinstein was a total original, and her legacy can still be seen today in the methods used to market and manufacture cosmeti. This is her amazing life story.

«Болдинская осень» длиною в 18 лет
Моё детство и юность прошли в Болдинском музее-заповеднике А.С. Пушкина. Дом первого директора музея – Краско Филиппа Ефимовича – стоял на территории парка. Мы – его дети, жили на работе у отца. Он был первым директором и создателем музея с 1944 года по 1962 год. Вся жизнь музея-заповедника была у нас перед глазами со всеми заботами, радостями, тревогами и свершениями. С возрастом понимаешь, что этот период моей жизни был так насыщен Пушкиным, что нам, детям, казалось – Пушкин – наш родственник, и жили-то мы на его собственной земле. Отец работал самозабвенно, страстно, добросовестно, творчески. О работе отца, о нашей жизни в Болдине будет мой рассказ. Тот, кто верно служил народу, должен оставаться в его памяти.
Why I Won't Be Going To Lunch Anymore
Outsiders seldom understand the curious amalgam of artists, galleries, misfits and hangers-on known as the Santa Fe Art Scene. In this collection of stories, we witness a group of Santa Fe painters confronting their art and life in creative ways, solving the ages-old problems of painting the perfect canvas, making that obstinate muse smile. Julia Brownell is a patrician beauty whose exhibition of gold-leafed paintings sells out on its opening night and creates an envious discord among her peers. As Parsley Tiddle approaches the end of his creative life, he will not give up his randy ways, to the delight of his younger friends and the wrath of his socialite sister. The narrator of the title story jeopardizes his friendship with Donald Strether, a painter of small abstractions and a devoted rascal, by his disclosures to the guests at a summer luncheon party in the foothills. Robert Fenwick, a New Mexico plein air painter of note, discovers that a commission for landscapes of the Barbados cane fields is a more upside-down proposition than he bargained for. There is a keen sense of irony and suitable punishment for the crime in Atwill’s stories, light-hearted views of the obstacles and the ever-present challenges to making a living from art. Several of the stories are concerned with goings-on in the studio of Alabaster Prynne, a wellborn, Philadelphia spinster, now in spattered coveralls, who befriends artists fresh from school and offers them her encouragement and cautions. The sprawling compound of adobe studios called Casa Marchment is the setting for a tale of earnest, untried artists as they find out that all is not what it appears in the estate of Victor Marchment, a brilliant landscape painter from the early years. Each story contains the secret to a Santa Fe painter, facing craft and life, and how he or she confounds the conventional view of what it is to be an artist. DOUGLAS ATWILL was born in Pasadena, California, earned a BA from the University of Texas at Austin and he served in the Army Counterintelligence Corps. After a long sojourn on a Piedmont cattle farm in Virginia and on the move throughout Europe, he settled in Santa Fe to pursue painting full-time. From a studio on Canyon Road, he paints landscapes and paintings of his own gardens. His work is shown in galleries throughout the West. Atwill’s avocation of restoring adobe houses and building them anew has earned him a reputation for excellence in taste and design, and his houses have been featured in many magazines and books. This is his first collection of short stories.
