Stepping Stones to Greater Resilience: Empowering you to create your own life experience … by Marquita Herald
Genre(s): Self-Help, Motivational, Personal Transformation, Religion & Spirituality, Spirituality, Personal Growth & Inspiration
U nexpected trials will always be a part of life … a lost set of keys, the stress of a botched work assignment, or the heartache of a full-blown health or relationship crisis. If we can accept that it is unrealistic to deny or run away from life’s inevitable challenges, we’re left with the only question that really matters, how we will choose to view adversity … obstacle or opportunity.
Try to imagine for a moment what it could mean to the quality of your life, if you were able to redefine your view of adversity – from the perspective of an unfortunate victim, to that of an empowered individual, confident in your ability create your own life experience? This is the power of resilience, the characteristics that help us deal with sudden and unexpected obstacles, as well as those we anticipate and cannot avoid.
The good news is studies show that we all have at least some natural resilience characteristics, however – much like unused muscle – if we don’t exercise and strengthen these skills, eventually they become weak and far less resistant.
You don’t need to be facing a major change or obstacles in your life to decide you want to become stronger and more confident. When we make the choice to not be defined by adversity, to look at all experiences as stepping stones for growth and greater long-term resilience, we are able to approach life on a whole new level, and in the process realign ourselves with what is really important in our lives.
Stepping Stones to Greater Resilience will help you identify the areas that need attention, and show you the way to cultivate greater resilience in life than you ever thought possible

T he Freedom Diet
The Simple 6 Step System for Fast, Easy and Permanent Weight Loss
Why is it that so many diets don’t work?
Or that they work short term, but that the weight ends up coming back as soon as the diet stops?
Surely weight loss doesn’t have to be so difficult? Surely there must be some way to end the cycle of struggling to lose a few pounds only to gain them back over the next few weeks?
The good news is that losing weight really doesn’t have to be that hard. But it has to be done the right way. In other words, successful weight loss has to be based on the way our bodies actually work and not on the latest diet fad or gimmick. And, of course, our success has to be lasting: the weight we lose has to stay off for good.
This book will show you how to do this. It will show you the fast, easy way to lose weight permanently and the simple 6 step system that will get you there. It will also explode some of the myths around popular diets that, as millions of dieters can testify, just don’t seem to work.
There are no gimmicks in this book. Instead it is based on our understanding of the way our bodies really work – an understanding that allows you both to lose weight successfully and then to keep it off.
On the Freedom Diet you’ll never find yourself feeling hungry. That’s because to maximize your weight loss you will be eating plenty of tasty foods chosen to provide you with the right nutrients at the right times, with the emphasis on:
- Slow-digesting, low GI (glycemic index), high fiber carbs
- Lean proteins
- Healthy fats
Why is this book called the Freedom Diet?
Well, it’s because the whole idea is to free you from everything that’s wrong with traditional diets (and as you’ll see, there’s quite a lot). To free you from:
1. Counting calories
2. Feeling hungry all the time
3. Losing weight only to gain it all back
4. Feeling guilty
5. Feeling stressed
6. Relying on willpower
7. Confusion about what to eat
8. Uncertainty about what sort of diet to follow
9. Fads and gimmicks that don’t work
10. Fads and gimmicks that damage your health
Welcome to the Freedom Diet.
You’re about to learn how to lose weight quickly, easily and forever.
And you’re also about to learn some secrets that the diet and food industries really don’t want you to know.

I Bleed Cubbie Blue: My Six Decades as a Cubs Fan by Doug Erlandson
Genre(s): Sports & Outdoors, Baseball, Essays & Writings, History
W hy would anyone root for a team that hasn’t been in a World Series since 1945 and hasn’t won one since 1908, has had just 20 winning seasons since 1939, and plays in a ballpark that’s nearly a century old and is falling apart? I Bleed Cubbie Blue, a memoir of one fan’s six-decade love affair with the Chicago Cubs, offers a charming and compelling answer to this burning question.
Combining personal memories and reflections with meticulous research, native Chicagoan Doug Erlandson describes his lifelong affection for a team that has raised but ultimately crushed his hopes countless times, a team to which he remains intensely loyal after nearly sixty years of fandom. Beginning with a description of the first game he attended in 1954 (a loss, of course, to the New York Giants), he weaves highlights from every season from the late-1950s through 2012 with detailed descriptions of significant games, front-office follies, trades (some of which should never have been made, others of which turned out to be sheer genius), as well as the individual players (from the great to the incompetent) who toiled in a Cubs’ uniform during this period.
I Bleed Cubbie Blue provides often humorous, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, but always accurate commentary on P.K. Wrigley’s college of coaches, the Brock-Broglio trade (which, according to Erlandson, did not seem like such a bad trade the day it was made), the collapse in 1969 (which still ranks as quintessential of all Cubs’ swoons), why Leo Durocher was a great manager (and why he was not), the lean years of the Seventies and early Eighties, the wonderfully giddy year of 1984 (along with a detailed account of the two most important games of the season), a year that ultimately resulted in the second Great Disappointment (the first being 1969), the improbable divisional championship of 1989, why Kerry Wood’s fifth Major League start was and remains the greatest pitching performance of all times, why Steve Bartman was not to blame for the Cubs’ loss in the 2003 playoffs, and much, much more.
Along the way I Bleed Cubbie Blue describes bizarre plays (such as Cal Neeman’s unlikely inside-the-park homerun when Bob Skinner forgot what inning it was), the tragic death of Ken Hubbs at age 22, the pitcher who claimed he pitched in a hypnotic trance, Jack Brickhouse’s call of an around-the-horn triple play (before it happened!), the unintentionally funny moments with Harry Caray in the broadcast booth, and the most memorable performances by guest conductors during the seventh-inning stretch.
A comment from the Epilogue sums up Erlandson’s reason for writing this memoir: “Whether in winning or losing, the Cubs have provided me with countless memories that are as wonderful and as fresh as the beautifully-manicured baseball diamond that has anchored the northeast corner of Addison and Clark for a hundred years.”

After graduating, in an effort to change the road he was on, he ended up in Asia, where everything went from the wok into the fire. Returning to the U.S., premature dementia kicked in as he lost his identity as well as his mind trying to survive with a bad credit rating while under constant attack.

Sleeping Beauty: A Modern Fairy Tale by John Phythyon
Genre(s): Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths, Literature & Fiction, World Literature, Mythology
He wanted to save her. He got it all wrong.
Carl is the only one left. All Beth’s friends were sad when she fell into a coma two years ago at the age of fourteen. But life moved on, and so did they. Except Carl. He still comes to see her. He still visits two to three times a week, talking to her and hoping she will wake.
Her mother, Marie, is insane. She stares constantly through a thick haze of cigarette smoke at Carl whenever he visits Beth, watching him, evaluating, plotting.
Marie knows the truth. She knows why Beth is in that coma. She knows it was Rex, Beth’s father, who did it. She knows he hired a witch to cast a spell on her Pretty Princess until she is old enough to marry, until his hand-picked protégé wakes her with True Love’s First Kiss.
But if whomever Rex chooses can break the curse, then so can Carl. He’s loved Beth since he first met her in Sixth Grade. Marie knows. She has a plan. And maybe she’s not as crazy as everyone thinks.
First, though, she’ll have to convince Carl to believe in magic. Then she’ll have to encourage him to defy Rex. That won’t be easy. Rex hates Carl. He put Beth into that coma to keep Carl away from her. And Rex has a wicked temper.
Marie is determined, though. She’s going to get her Sleeping Beauty back. And Carl is going to help . . . whether he likes it or not.
Can True Love’s First Kiss really break the curse, or are darkness, insanity, and self-doubt too strong?
Set in modern times, “Sleeping Beauty” is a creepy reimagining of the original fairy tale. Much like ABC’s Once Upon A Time, it offers a fresh look at an old story.
It explores what happens when parents go too far to protect their children. All parents struggle deciding when to hold on tightly to their children and when to let go. Rex and Marie get it all wrong. A cautionary tale, “Sleeping Beauty” reminds us there is a fine line between love and obsession, between care and cruelty.

Legacy Discovered by Kerry Reis
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Romance
W hen they first met sixteen years ago, Ali was convinced she had found in Ryan a man who grew up like she did: as a foster care orphan. In college on the East Coast, the couple was young and in love so Ali did not think it strange when Ryan demanded that they quickly marry and immediately transfer to a Midwestern university to begin their life as newlyweds. They are now a poster for stable, middle-class marriages. Ryan has an independent law practice; Ali is an ER nurse. The couple has a daughter and a son in high school and middle school, respectively.
Yet when Ryan leads a blockbuster case, teaming up with other lawyers to lead a class action suit against a toxic industrial development by billionaire Charles Barnett, all hell breaks loose. During the case discovery, Ali learns that Ryan is really the sole son and namesake of magnate Charles Barnett. “Ryan” faked his death by disappearing off his sailboat near the Massachusetts coast sixteen years ago. His real name is Charles Barnett Jr. and he faked his death to avoid the pressure of the family legacy and to marry Ali, who came from a lower social status. He took Ryan as his name, assuming the legal identity of a college roommate who died young.
While shocking to all involved, Ali rises above the situation and uses her love for Ryan as the driving force to reunite the estranged father and son. Bit by bit, the family members put together the missing pieces of their lives. Ali learns how to reconcile her family to their new in-laws and the powerful society in which they live. She points the father and son on a path to a final redemption.
This dramatic fiction of love and family is a story in the tradition of the classic 1970s film Love Story. Author Kerry Reis was inspired by the movie’s premise of a wealthy scion turning his back on his family and their wealth in order to marry a woman from a poorer background. He even used the names Ryan and Ali in homage to Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw, the lead actors in the original film.
Though it is a love story, Legacy Discovered steers clear from being a romance novel and instead, delves into the dramatic weight of family secrets and the burdens of love. Ali must grapple with the fact that Ryan is not the same man she married two decades ago, not even his name. Ryan must realize that on some level, he will always be Charles Barnett Jr. and must make peace with a father he often despised. It’s a story about how the secrets one man takes on for noble reasons will still come back to haunt him. Yet it also shows how the strength of love will reconnect families and provide redemption from the sins of the father.
A searing novel that demonstrates the strength of love and the power of class to haunt our lives, Legacy Discovered is a moving meditation on how to redeem the past. As Ryan says to his teenage daughter, “Status does not determine character. Character determines status.”

D o first loves ever really die? While reunions can take many forms, there is always one question that has to be answered sooner or later–what happened?
Vance had always been extremely proud of Noella, and just because his life had been ruined, he saw no reason why she had to have the same faith. When his dad died, leaving him and his mother penniless, he dropped out of law school and ended his relationship with Noella, but in doing so, he stopped a scandal that could have ruined her family. These secrets he would never let her know. Ironically, years later, he would have never guessed she would be instrumental in ruining his career with the Tampa police force.
After Noella finished law school and started pursuing her goal of working up the ranks in judgeships, she never considered inviting another guy into her life. As such, when someone attempts to threaten her into vacating her seat on the bench, and by force if necessary, she knows of no one else she really trust as much as Vance, who now has a successful bodyguard and private detective business.
She knows that Vance might hate her for her part in having him dismissed from the police force, but what he will never know is that she actually saved him from going to prison. Additionally, she now thinks he was framed, and perhaps by the same people who are threatening her. She had to talk him into taking her on as a client . . . but would he agree to her request?
As the number of attacks on her life increases, Vance soon has no choice but to offer her his protection, and in spite of everything, when they see each other again their old attraction for each other returns. She wants the truth. He wants the truth. However, making the ultimate sacrifice is not always easy to understand, whether given or received. Ultimately . . . could they now trust each other with these secrets? While their lives depend on discovering the truth to their past, these truths are locked in deep secrets that could also destroy them.

D eception in Savannah is a humorous crime novel, written in the tongue-in-cheek style of Mark Twain.
A prominent physician, driving while intoxicated, kills a pedestrian in a late-night hit and run accident. The only eyewitness is a would-be entrepreneur with attention deficit disorder. He also has a photographic memory, but his memories surface randomly and quickly slip back beyond his conscious grasp. His instincts as a street hustler keep him from coming forward, especially since he can’t quite focus on what it is that he needs to tell the authorities.
The driver’s casual reaction to the accident is a tipping point in his rocky relationship with his business partner and long-time mistress. She decides to break off their relationship and demands a large cash settlement for her interest in their bogus diet clinic in exchange for her silence. Her blackmail scheme lands them in trouble with the clinic’s major investor.
Unbeknownst to them, the investor is a drug king-pin using the clinic to launder money. Confused by the antics of the mistress and her alcohol-addled, porn-addicted lawyer, the mobster thinks that his empire is under attack by an unknown rival. His lethal attempts to eliminate the imagined threat to his business are frustrated by chance and the incompetence of his subordinates.
Eventually, the police find the somewhat befuddled eyewitness, who finally stumbles across his clear but misplaced recollection of the accident, and everyone’s carefully laid plans begin to unravel with comical results.
