Inspired by the Navajo tradition’s ‘Beauty Way’, this book acts as an exposition on various vital aspects of life, as well as how to uncover and create true beauty within them all. Author Lori Myles-Carullo struggled with chronic illness for many years and, through the depth of her own healing journey, developed a passion for sharing the wisdom she gained in the process. The essence of beauty explored here is neither about personal appearance nor image, but rather the rich, lived experience of the heart awakening to love and letting go of fear. Each one of us has a great capacity for radical honesty, courage, and transformation—and often life provides us with exactly what we need to draw these forth in dramatic and powerful ways. Whether our wake-up calls occur through loss, transition, illness, or relationship struggles, we all have the choice to either contract or expand through our experiences, creating therefore less or more beauty in our lives and the lives of others. Beauty’s Way gifts you with practical suggestions, through personal story and anecdote, of how to bring more beauty to your existence and to the greater whole. Each chapter ends with specific exercises that will assist you in gaining greater awareness into key parts of life—some naturally thought of as ‘good’, such as love and joy, as well as other, more challenging ones that we often do our best to distract ourselves from due to fear, including pain and grief. By offering our heartfelt compassion and love to it all, a greater realization and manifestation of healing beauty is forever possible.

“A Change of Habit is moving and soul-searching …”
— Constance Holcomb, retired publishing executive

“The arduous journey of this teenage girl to womanhood is a profound story containing lessons for all of us.”
— Walter D. Serwatka, retired chairman of the board, MacMillan-McGraw-Hill

“This was a real joy to read! Heartwarming … inspiring … I didn’t want the book to end. I laughed, cried, and cheered you on!”
— Aaron Harper, spiritual counselor

A Change of Habit recounts a spiritual journey that started when a religious eddy hurls seventeen-year-old Patty into a convent in the 1960s. Her deeply embedded guilt drives her to obey the Catholic Church, please her earthly father, and say yes to her heavenly Father. But in the convent, she fails to find happiness in religious rites and rules. Her time in the convent parallels changes wrought in religious life by Vatican II, including changes of names and attire. After leaving the convent following seven years of service, she assumes she can pick up her life and move on. But once the religious habit comes off , long-practiced habits of poverty, chastity, and obedience dog her into married life. Finally facing the reality mirror, she breaks out the debilitating patterns learned in the convent.

In finding true spirituality and finally listening to the God within, she shakes the destructive habit of guilt. Her story speaks to like-minded “guilt sponges,” offering hope on their personal spiritual quests. She shares the seven secrets to guilt-free living learned on her journey. A Change of Habit is not the story of a girl breaking from the convent to live happily ever after; the story’s uniqueness hinges on how ingrained duty lodges. This story of personal reinvention and empowerment that takes place over forty years shows that it’s never to late to change one’s future.

When Napoleon III’s French Army invades Mexico in 1862, so are the protagonists forced to protect and nourish themselves, excavate their true identity, and marry the paradoxical truths of past and present, masculine and feminine, lightness and darkness. Viola, a young mestizo woman, enslaved at the Hacienda Manzanilla is stifled by the oppression that envelops her in an economically and spiritually depleted Mexico post War of the Reform. A grief stricken and anxious Viola is fostered by the ancient wisdom of her grandfather, a Mayan elder who lives in a nearby indigenous village. Out of rhythm with society and her peers, Viola spends much of her time deep in contemplation either in nature or encapsulated in a world she must keep secret—her world of literacy. Viola has been taught to read at a time when education is prohibited for a woman of her social orientation. When Viola meets Octavio, the son of a decorated, deceased war hero who is bequeathed the duty of a Zapotec warrior, her fortified existence is disrupted. Their divergent ideals mingle as tension and conflict from the imminent Battle of Puebla spirals around them. They are thrust into a multidimensional journey of discovery, forgiveness, healing, love, and transformation. Indigena is a timeless story of adversity and triumph, war and peace. Grounded in factual detail and effervescent with metaphor, this story of Cinco de Mayo fuses real life historical figures with palpable fictional characters to recount the Mexican peoples’ rise from the ashes of oppression.

We live in a marketplace filled with valuable ideas for how to be happy, yet people continue to suffer. We are just now awakening to the principal source of our unhappiness and suffering, which is ego. Ego wreaks havoc in our daily lives, from the pain that individuals, couples, and families experience all the way up to global tensions and international conflict. Most people think of ego as an inflated sense of self-importance, but this is only a fraction of what it really is. Ego is the misidentification of who we are as beings. It drives us to think and behave in ways that are inconsistent and incongruent with whom we really are, leading always to dissatisfaction and suffering. 

 

The secret to finding happiness is to loosen ourselves from ego’s painful grip by going beyond ego and entering the world of Spirit—the source of true joy and peace. To do so, we must first travel through the ego. Without proper guidance, this trip can be perilous, because ego, to ensure its own survival, makes every attempt to derail us along the way. Beyond the Ego is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to help you make this journey safely. The seeds of happiness, joy, and peace of mind will take root at the outset of your journey and continue to grow every step of your way.

 

Everyone desires happiness, and countless ways have been proposed to help you achieve it. What’s commonly overlooked is that happiness is our natural state, and therefore must be allowed, rather than achieved. The way to allow happiness in your life is to awaken to the truth that everyone has an ego; that ego blocks our happiness, just as clouds block the sun from shining through. The secret to finding happiness is not something you do; you need only become aware of the presence of ego in your life.

 

This requires learning what ego is, where it comes from, where it hides, how it presents itself, and how to recognize it when you find it. Your awareness of ego causes it to gradually dissipate. The more conscious you become of it, the more the light of happiness shines within you. This light is the light of Spirit. Awakening to the presence of ego inside you is the sure path to grow beyond your ego and to live a spiritual life, the gifts of which are happiness, joy, and peace of mind.

 

Growing beyond one’s ego to achieve happiness is a journey, not a one-time event. Lessons for Living Beyond the Ego is a collection of fifty-two lessons to help you stay on the path of your journey into happiness. It can be read either as a follow up to Beyond the Ego—a previous book by David Mutchler—or as an introduction to it.

 

We live in an age when growing numbers of people are more willing to call themselves “spiritual” rather than “religious.” This is because millions of people are not finding answers that fulfill them in their traditional religious beliefs. Indeed, a historic low of only forty - eight percent of Americans think that religion can answer most or all of today’s problems.

Based on a new way of thinking about the biblical tale of the first two humans’ original sin, Non-Judgment Day Is Coming: Are You Ready? provides a new and unique spiritual perspective that explains how:

• You can find happiness and peace in your life, starting now

• You alone can play a significant role in bringing about world peace

• The world need not end in a final day of judgment

• There is a real way to achieve peace on earth

• You can hasten the change you wish to see in yourself and in the world

• We can actualize the love that binds us all together as one

• You only need to learn and apply one simple practice to make it all happen

In this book, you will find the understanding—and the necessary tools—to bring each of these goals to fruition in your life.

RASH DECISIONS charts the first year of self-employment for Rashmi Biswas who spent several years in the corporate world striving for elusive accolades, total fulfillment, and work-life balance. Narrated with honesty (she even shares her food diary) the book incorporates the themes of family, friends, politics, gender issues, and yoga set against the backdrop of starting a new business. Throughout the book Rashmi shares stories from her life taking a close look at past decisions, including moving countries and not joining the army. By accepting the decisions she has made Rashmi learns to “meet herself where she is” and applies a business planning model to chart a positive outlook for her future.

The collapse of the old business culture continues with consequences that have hit hard.  In such dire times, as we scramble to find a way forward that offers certainty and security, we witness organizations masquerading with a new image while essentially maintaining the status quo. This will not work. There are new players in the arena of business. Culture and consciousness are powerful new partners that will decide sustainability and profitability in an emerging new paradigm.  We are rewriting the books and re-educating ourselves on what a thriving, high-performing environment looks like. We are transforming the hearts and minds of leaders to generate a new mindset in business that will see us using the right tools and the right values for prosperity and universal well-being. This book tells you how.

 

As a divorced, self employed mother of one, with little support and scant foundations, I made every mistake possible. I created painful realities at each turn and travelled down labyrinths of confusion that led to dead ends. I used all of the change techniques, “secret doctrines,” and healing modalities available, and nothing changed. Descending time and time again into the pain of what Dante calls the “dark wood,” I made the pursuit of transformation my life’s work. From a deep and lengthy enquiry into how to create change, I emerged personally and spiritually transformed with a profound and complex understanding of how to change ourselves and our lives. Important insights into misunderstood “teachings” about emotions, feelings, and the nature of alchemy completely changed my world and my work. I was not only creating loving and abundant experiences but also experiencing profound spiritual openings without seeking them. This book reveals to you all that I have learned about change and reality creation. At times simple and other times complex, this vital knowledge is essential for all of humanity, so that we may create a personal and a collective world resting solidly on a new foundation of co-creation, harmony, and bounty.

Pa came in from the trap line to see Otis hitting Ma.  Pa dropped everything he had in his hands and in a wild rage charged Otis Bingam.  When Otis turned and saw Pa running toward him, he let go of Ma, pulled his pistol, and shot Pa right in the chest, killing him on the spot.

 

Ma ran to where Pa fell and threw herself on his body, trying to revive him with no success.

 

Otis came over and pulled Ma up by her hair and said, “If you don’t tell me where the money is hidden, I’ll do the same for you and that rag-tail girl of yours.  Now where is it?”

 

That’s when I showed up, taking it all in with one horrible look.  I yelled, “Let her go!”

 

Otis turned on me like a wounded cougar.  He kinda sneered and said, “Well now we got ‘em all.”  He cast Ma aside and started for me.  He wasn’t counting on that pistol I had, and when he saw it, he just snickered and said, “You ain’t got what it takes to shoot a man.” 

 

I slid that pistol out quick and smooth and had it pointed at Otis’s belt buckle when Pa’s words came back to me.  “Never point at anything you don’t want to kill.”
