If you are like most of us, what you know of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian spiritual and healing wisdom, is that some people swear by its restorative impact, it has something to do with botanicals and there are a growing number of practitioners and products that adhere to it today. Otherwise, it's pretty much a mystery.But if you happen to pick up a copy of Acharya Shunya's new book Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom: A Complete Prescription to Optimize Your Health, Prevent Disease, and Live with Vitality and Joy (Sounds True, Feb. 2017), the veil of mystery will be lifted and you will absolutely understand how this is something you can do for yourself to not only obtain optimal health, but to heal many of the illness and conditions that have plagued you.Furthermore, this narrative-based guidebook meticulously covers the how-to's of morning and evening self-care, daily contemplations, self-massage and skin care, cooking (including recipes), beauty rituals, and more.

​Former "difficult person" herself comes front stage to share with all who will listen how to deal with "people like us!" Author of the book, "Lessons from a Difficult Person: How to Deal with People Like Us" shares her infinite knowledge in her mission to help others stand up for themselves and regain peace.The funny thing is that Sarah Elliston never realized she was “a difficult person,” -- someone who harangued people until she got her way, threw snip fits and temper tantrums, talked over her bosses and pointed out what she thought were their misconceptions. In her family, where she felt bullied, the only way she knew how to get someone’s attention and approval was to voice her opinion—and loudly! Without standing her ground, how could she do what she thought was best for herself and everyone else around her. She wasn’t intentionally mean-spirited. She was just trying to do what she thought was RIGHT! Until a kind, but firm, boss woke her up! With great compassion, and strength, her boss pointed out that

An Aging GreatFULLy first, welcoming author Kent Heckenlively's Inoculated: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism. This is a topic of interest to many, in a book that may initially read like a spy novel but unfolds to a complete accounting of all the actions and documents that comprise a government cover-up, putting a vast number of the nation's children at great risk to trigger autism once inoculated with the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Heckenlively, a science teacher and attorney, uses both of these exacting skills to demonstrate how the Centers for Disease Control's deliberate choice to inaccurately report http://files.constantcontact.com/74d278c8001/69c23132-5542-4e0e-93a3-5033ec6b600a.jpg" align="right" class="CToWUd a6T"/>test results that showed a distinct correlation between the vaccine and increased autism statistics --and a lack of courage by those who could have spoken up in the early 2000s when indicators began to surface, but instead stayed silent or deliberately perverted the truth,

World Renowned Naomi Feil, Validation, and Aging GreatFULLy! Validation began in the 1970s as the personal practice of a brilliant individual, Naomi Feil. Born in Munich, Naomi and her family escaped Nazi Germany and moved to Cleveland, Ohio. Her father became the administrator of The Montefiore Home for the Aged and they lived in 5 rooms alongside the elderly residents. This is where the roots of Validation began.Feil originated the concept of what is now known as ‘person-centered care’. She built Validation on an empathetic attitude and a holistic view of individuals with dementia. She said, “When you ‘step into the shoes’ of another human being and ‘see through their eyes’, you step into the world of disoriented very old people and suddenly understand the meaning of their sometimes bizarre behavior.” With the help of a few supporters she created the Validation Training Institute (VTI), a 501 (c) not-for-profit organization, as a vehicle for spreading information, and training practitioners. Over the past

“What was I thinking?” may be what I ask myself after this show! But hey, you only live once and it sounded like a great idea when I conceived it! I did consider changing the iTunes ratings from E for Everyone or F for Family to…I don’t know…Explicit, Dysfunctional…DISASTER, perhaps! But I am all about faith in a higher court so I am going to just let it all play out and put it out there—my family and all!You see, we’re not normal—I mean we ARE NOT NORMAL! But then I started thinking, “Is any family NORMAL?” Probably not. We are kind of like a trifecta version of the “Dynamic Duo,” … I would say were the “Tremendous Trio” of sorts. I didn’t pick “terrific” because tremendous is more far reaching to accommodate all of our unusual qualities—and they are not all terrific I might add…but they are US.We are a story. As each of you are. Ours is a journey of togetherness. A mom that loved deeply (and lost—or was left—is more accurate of a description!) and was left to raise us in “tremendously” unideal circums

Rico Racosky’s early life was a very active combination of his love of all things aeronautic and his passion for art. So it might not come as a surprise that both of these “visual careers” are still playing out in his life in a major way--in his dual careers as a former fighter-pilot-now-airline-pilot and as an author/publisher of multiple graphically-original books, that quickly and clearly explain life through visuals rather than mere words.​Just 2 Choices was “an accidental discovery.” While working with primarily 4th and 5th graders for nearly 20 years on his days off from flying, Rico found himself frequently saying the phrase that “...there are Just 2 Choices of action. One choice will take you closer to your dreams and goals... the other choice will take you farther away. Which choice of action will you take?” After saying “Just 2 Choices” over and over for all those years to the children, Rico thought the phrase would have great applicability to working with grown-ups. So he literally “wrote the book
