Are you ready to have it all? The truth is women can do it and have it all – it’s not a myth. Women have more opportunities than ever before in the workplace, at home and beyond. By learning to harness your innate strengths, as well as learn from other women’s experiences, you can find the success and life balance that you’re striving for. And you can help other women along the way! Karel Murray’s new book, Hitting Our Stride: Women, Work and What Matters, uses humorous stories, surprising insights and thought-provoking topics to help you uncover the life lessons that lead to success.

- How to tackle fear and the unknown
- What to learn from the reflections of our past without living in it
- Re-discovering the importance of family connections
- How to make life-altering decisions and learn from others
- Overcome career challenges to find success
- How to deal with the next generation and help them along the way

“I suppose I will eventually heal
Of writing
In this life or the next.
I hope to get the blessing
Of Writers’ Block
Instead of mismatched text.”
I Have Been to Minneota is Rudyard Thurber’s third book of musings, odds and ends, and witty (and sometimes very dry), observations about our current world.
IT’S NOT ABOUT THE DIET: Feel Strong and Alive Right Now!
What happens when a tiny, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck starts to malfunction?
Taking a pill won’t fix the problem…nor will surgery.
What’s left?
It’s called the thyroid, the “master gland of the metabolism.” When it starts to wear down, or gets overworked, or stops altogether, you feel awful. Your doctors prescribes pills—then advises you to remove the gland. It’s small. It can’t be that bad…
Desiree Goode-Green is a miracle worker! She never makes you feel bad about what you eat. She simply helps you figure out how to handle your physical ailment, mostly with food, but with some emotional and even spiritual guidance along the way. Patricia Springsteel, small business owner and single mother.
A doctor told Desiree Goode-Green she needed to have her thyroid removed. After surgery, instead of instant healing, Goode-Green watched her health deteriorate even more rapidly. She slipped into depression, experienced debilitating chronic fatigue and anxiety, and had terrible concentration and awful mood swings.
It’s Not About the Diet is Goode-Green’s journey of healing and outline for her health-coaching strategy. In it, she also reveals a secret she learned along the way about why dieting doesn’t work.
If you’re tired
–of taking pills
–of listening to doctors who don’t help
–of not getting better…
There is hope! You can get at the root cause and find alternative ways of healing.

Just Keep Breathing

I miraculously don’t. How am I going to survive? …I try to keep from screaming, “Dennis, you can’t do this to me now. I left my family, my friends, my job, pulled the kids away from their school and friends—you can’t quit on us. You can’t.”
Through clenched teeth, he controls his response, “Scott, I’m tired. I’m dying.” Dennis is walking away and does not sound tired; he sounds angry.
“Have you not heard anything I’ve told you for the last twenty-three years? I love you; you are my life. Don’t you dare think I’m not dying here, too. You may be the one who gets buried, but I’m the one who has to figure out how to keep living. I’m dying, Dennis; I’m dying with you.”
We stand there, energy spent, emotionally depleted, tears falling. I take him in my arms, and we hold on to each other as if we draw life’s breath from the other—because we do.
He sits on the sofa, and I go find the Dallas phone book so I can call Restland, the place where we will bury his body.
When Joan Scott Curtis was 43 years old, she found out her husband was dying of AIDS. He had been infected for thirteen years. She tested negative. None of this was possible.
It was the mid 1990s. All the prejudices about AIDS are not supposed to exist anymore, but they do. Just Keep Breathing is the remarkable story about finding courage in small victories, on taking solace in helping others, and knowing that even though the major battle will be lost, the ability to live on with grace and dignity is what defines the war.
