Get the book (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3N5ESXx About the Book “It’s never going to work. You’re not good enough!” Are you tired of hearing that nagging voice inside your head? And what if you could do something about it? Do you have a dream or a project that’s been on the back burner for too long? Even with all your accomplishments, do you still doubt yourself sometimes? Statistics show that 85% of people suffer from a lack of self-confidence in at least one area of their lives. Draining negative self-talk creates procrastination, stress, anxiety, and burnout. People know what they want or need to do, and yet they do the reverse—they resist change and can’t adapt to the fast world we live in. That makes them feel powerless, frustrated, and insecure. In a work environment, this can lead to a demotivated and unhappy team, low overall performance and a high employee turnover rate. With the layers of stress people are already buried under, important decisions are clouded by emotions or limiting beliefs, instead of being based on skills and experience. Bottom line: whether on a personal or professional level, most people admit to not working—or living—at their full potential. Through Nathalie’s D.N.A. System, you will discover 15 proven Keys to Confidence, real-life, simple skills and strategies to transform your inner thoughts and beliefs into a serving force that will empower you to be your best.

All Is Now Lost - Laura Elizabeth - Cozy Mystery

Get the Book (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/40AaZE5 About the Book Welcome to Mongin Island, the South Carolina Lowcountry home of Carr Jepson and the cozy Books & Brew bookstore, where hot and cold tea are not the only things brewing. Book #1 of The Island Mysteries series finds Carr Jepson arriving alone on Mongin Island, ready to start the next chapter of her life. Accessible by boat, Mongin Island has very few cars, no busy roads, no crowds, no traffic lights, no bridge, but boasts gloriously oak-lined roads, beaches of powdery white sand, marshes with tall beach grasses and an empty storefront that speaks to an unanswered dream in Carr's heart: creating a gathering spot that happens to sell books. Recognizing that the Books & Brew's bare walls could use some "island life," Carr decides to photograph the glorious island scenery. Promising a truly unique sunrise photo, Carr's friend Barb takes her to Governor's Point, an abandoned property that was supposed to be an exclusive waterfront neighborhood. The now neglected property is overgrown and is Barb's secret hideaway for enjoying some of the island's most spectacular water views. But what the two women find in the water that morning sets off a mystery that crisscrosses the island and surfaces the many reasons, some of them deeply rooted in the island's once-turbulent history, that families have come to love this spot in the Atlantic for many generations. About Laura Laura Elizabeth has enjoyed a long career in business as well as a rich family life that, many years ago, took her to Daufuskie Island, South Carolina, for the first time. Together, the family embraced the wonder, the pull that they only found in this special place. They returned again and again to rediscover the island’s magic, to walk along its shores with their dogs, explore, treasure hunt and make family memories. As one of the Atlantic coastal islands, Daufuskie has been marked by centuries of American history and was made famous by novelist Pat Conroy's memoir The Water Is Wide in which he imagined the island in his unique way. From her years of family experiences on the island, Laura imagined Mongin Island as the home for her cozy series The Island Mysteries.

Jim Curtis - Performing Arts - Decoding Dylan. Making Sense of the Songs that Change Modern Culture

Get the book (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3EU7Dlx

About the Book

The key phrase for this book is cultural connections. It shows Dylan’s cultural connenctions in a variety of ways. It shows how his Jewish heritage connections him to a variety of writers and performers. It also shows that the most important influence in his life was not Woody Guthrie, as people often suppose, but someone whom he never met—the painter Pablo Picasso. Dylan’s career has remarkable similarities to Picasso’s.“Decoding Dylan” also shows the connections between and among songs. Three of his greatest songs form a trilogy devoted to the theme of transcendence: “Mr. Tambourine Man”; “Desolation Row”: and “Visions of Johanna.”This book also does two other things that previous books on Dylan have notdone: It analyzes his complex use of rhymes, and discusses his career in thecontext of the two other Jewish geniuses who dominated American popular culture in the late twentieth century: Woody Allen and Barbara Streisand.

About Jim

Jim Curtis grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi, where he saw Elvis perform live in 1956. That event changed his life, and made him a lifelong rock and roll fan.However, he did do other things with his life. Like Elvis, he left Tupelo. He received his BA from Vanderbilt University and his PhD from Columbia University. He taught for 31 years at the University of Missouri and is the author of seven books, indulging “Decoding Dylan.” He is now Professor Emeritus from that institution.

Part-time journalist Aoife Walsh is about to tie the knot with her long-term boyfriend, Detective Conor Moloney. However, after barely surviving the trauma of her first marriage and still having to deal with her challenging ex-husband, Aoife is less than excited about the prospect of organising a wedding.

Her wedding anxiety quickly takes a back seat when the missing person case she is researching turns into a murder investigation. A year earlier, IT specialist Matt Gallagher disappeared on his honeymoon abroad, seemingly without explanation. Now, after his bride learns of a huge inheritance Matt had been expecting, Aoife finds herself uncovering a trail of clues that lead her from the rain-soaked cobblestones of Dublin to the sun-baked streets of southern Italy. But what Aoife hadn’t expected was that her own personal life would get mixed up in the murder investigation - or that her search for the truth puts herself and her loved ones directly in the crosshairs of a deadly killer.

Roosevelt—Eoannou’s latest novel breathes new life into the immortal Lone Ranger, and the man who struggled to create him, echoing the spirit of W.P.

Bello presents Jack’s compelling story in rhyme, beautifully and dramatically illustrated by Melinda Falgoust: “People are different in color, shape, size. Ears, noses, mouths, and different shaped eyes. Different races, and genders—more, too. Christian or Buddhist, or Muslim or Jew. But there’s one thing in common we all have in this place. We are all valued members of this human race.” Happy Jack Sad Jack: A Bullying Story is a must read for all children and one your child will never forget. About Mark Mark M. Bello is an attorney, civil justice advocate, award-winning author of the Zachary Blake Legal Thriller Series, and co-host of the Justice Counts Podcast. He retired, about 5 years ago, and began his new career as a writer. Nothing unique about that, right? But Mark did this at the age of 65! He draws upon his 45 years of courtroom experience, a passion for justice, and a creative writing style that has penned captivating novels for his readers and hard-hitting commentaries on controversies in the news. Mark was one of the first attorneys to sue the Catholic Church over sexual abuse by clergy, an experience that inspired his debut novel, Betrayal of Faith. Back then, clergy abuse was a dirty little secret, and many lawyers extracted extra settlement dollars by agree to confidential settlements. Mark persuaded his clients to pursue the case publicly, and the offending priest was eventually defrocked. Recently, that same priest was indicted by the new Michigan Attorney General and now resides in a jail cell. Mark decided to write a novel about his experience handling the case and the rest is history. His fictional protagonist, Zachary Blake, and his “ripped from the headlines” escapades take readers deep into Blake’s many quests for justice and provide readers with front-row access to the courtroom. Mark’s eighth Blake series novel, You Have A Right to Remain Silent, his new cookbook, L’Dor V’Dor II, The Blake-Lewin Family Cookbook of Traditional Jewish Recipes, and the first edition in his children’s safety/social justice picture-book series (Happy Jack—Sad Jack, A Bullying Story) were released last Spring. His new cozy legal mystery, The Final Steps will be released soon. A native of Detroit, Mich., Mark earned his law degree from Western Michigan University—Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from Oakland University in Rochester. Mark and his spouse, Tobye, have 4 children and 9 grandchildren. When he’s not writing, He enjoys sports, traveling, and spending time with family.

In the year 2166, a post-Second Civil War America is finally back on its feet. Among the countless personal and cultural casualties of the war, the sport of baseball has been dead for over a hundred years. 12-year-old Joe Scott lives in the northern Illinois city of McHenry and goes exploring in the woods one day in a no man's land that a hundred years earlier was the site of the bloodiest battle of the war. While there, he discovers a relic from the distant past, from before the war. It sparks a search for its meaning. Little does he know that the wheels of Providence have been unwittingly set in motion, leading to a stunning discovery in Dyersville, Iowa. This second discovery has a direct connection with the relic found in McHenry. As events unfold, Joe finds himself at the center of the rediscovery of a sport long lost and forgotten by the ravages of time and war. With no living person having any first-hand knowledge of the game, can he figure out the pieces of the puzzle to resurrect the game of baseball? Will his friends take to the game? What will the adults think?

Raising 4-Dimensional Children in a 2-Dimensional World 

It’s the Owner’s Manual for Parenting that you didn’t get with your child! 

You don’t need a degree in psychology or education to raise your child because this book has the results of years of educational and psychological research explained in simple language, then coordinates those results with easy and fun activities that your children will love. 

Understanding is the First Step.

Raising 4 Dimensional Children in a 2 Dimensional World is a book to help provide parents with whole-child education by understanding of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual capabilities (and limitations) of children at each stage, based on research in education and developmental child psychology. It’s hard to solve a problem if you don’t understand the problem.

Taking Action is the Second Step.

It also provides over 400 fun activities you can play with your child to help him/her develop the necessary skills to move up to the next level. It not only gives you theory; it gives you practical solutions in each of the 4 Dimensions.

About Tim

Tim has a Master’s Degree in Education and a Grandmaster rank in the martial arts. He has combined his years of experience as a classroom teacher and administrator (in both public and private schools) with even more years of experience teaching and developing martial arts programs to create a simple plan for the education of children. He has spent years researching developmental child psychology, chosen the best studies, and distilled them into simple, understandable language. He then drew on his vast knowledge of activities that help children become stronger physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and arranged them according to the capabilities of children at each age. His unique perspective combining Eastern and Western educational philosophy creates a powerful road map for raising balanced children in an increasingly unbalanced world.
