Would you move a dead body for the sake of your best friend? Ask cha-cha babe Celia Ewing, a sixty-five-year-old widow who has just settled into Boca Pelicano Palms, the Florida retirement community of her dreams. When Celia's best friend Marcy calls her and their friend Deb for help in the middle of the night, they find a naked Marcy trapped under the body of her beau, the community's board president, Melvin. And he's dead. The three friends secretly move Melvin back to his apartment setting off a chain of events that will threaten to tear their community apart and send them to jail. Melvin is one of a number of residents who are dying under suspicious circumstances; and soon Celia becomes an amateur sleuth in an attempt to identify what she suspects is a serial murderer.Filled with humorous, witty observations about retirement communities, the realities of getting older, and the promise of new love, the Cha-Cha Babes of Pelican Way celebrates the deep bonds of female friendships, the desire for companionship at any age, and shows us that it's never too late to learn how to cha-cha through life.

A mind-boggling investigation into ancient wisdom -- and the nature of the universe. Monuments like the Pyramids or Stonehenge make us wonder: Were the ancients way more advanced than we know? In Numbers of the Gods, Sylvain Tristan “does the math” and finds fascinating answers. Yes, the Bronze Age had superb astronomers, who already knew the exact dimensions of our Earth, Sun and Moon, and that our planet rotates around the Sun, thousands of years BC. New discoveries prove that Celtic Druids and their predecessors used an amazingly precise and unified 366-degree geometry and astronomy to measure space and time. Many key sites of antiquity follow this geometry, from Babylon to Teotihuacán to the Great Pyramid of Giza. Stranger still, Druidic Initiates — perhaps in the highest ranks of Freemasonry — have discreetly continued to use their geometry in siting cities like Paris, Washington DC, and modern architectural monuments worldwide. Strangest and most awe-inspiring of all, the “magic numbers” of the Druids — 366, 40 and 10 — may be encrypted in the dimensions of the solar system, the physics of our universe and the biology of the human species, as if they were the signature of a Great Architect. The revolutionary evidence in this book is easy to check, the interpretation is limited only by your imagination! Revised edition with index.

Telementation is a variation of what is often called "The Law of Attraction", where telementation focuses more on feeling reality into existence rather than believing or visualizing reality into existence. Telementation is an ancient meditative art form, and it is the true nature of our real deep inner self. It is virtually unknown to contemporary, modernized humans, but it is has been recognized by shamans, mystics, and philosophers as the ultimate power in the universe, which is possessed by all humans. Telementation is true consciousness (and true consciousness is the deepest, innermost part of mental reality, not the surface emanations), and therefore telementation is what humans actually are. This book is a short instruction manual on how to carry out the law of attraction with great ease. Telementation creates a revolution in a person's life that ends nearly all personal problems, and it brings a person back to their innate, inalienable greatness and poetical inner peace. Telementation is particularly productive for those who want a very simple guidebook on how to carry out Eastern meditation or Christian mysticism, for those who have had trouble attaining religious experience despite putting forth great efforts at meditation, and for those having trouble overcoming depression by conventional methods.

Telementation is an ancient meditative art form, the true nature of our deep inner self, and the most productive way to carry out the law of attraction, Christian mysticism, or Zen Buddhism. It is virtually unknown to modern people, but has been recognized by shamans, Zen Buddhists, mystics, and philosophers as the ultimate power in the universe, which is possessed by everyone. TELEMENTATION is a short instruction manual on how to carry out the law of attraction with great ease and productivity, by directing one's inner feelings in a specific way. Many students attempting this become frustrated due to their great efforts and poor results. In Telementation, this is remedied by focusing on feelings rather than beliefs, and the law of attraction is then achieved with Zen-like ease and dramatic success. Telementation consequently creates a revolution in one's life that ends nearly all personal problems, as it brings a person back to their innate, inalienable greatness and poetical inner peace. Telementation is also particularly productive for those who want a simple guidebook on how to carry out Buddhist meditation or Christian spirituality, for those who have had trouble attaining ecstatic spiritual and religious experience through meditation, and for those unable to overcome depression by conventional methods.

With warm humor and well-seasoned experience, J. Allen Boone reenters the wonderful world of unspoken communication between humans and animals. He was an explorer into the realm of the unexpected who felt that by underestimating the mental and spiritual qualities of by animals, we miss out on the oneness and wholeness of life. This book salutes the Divinity within all living creatures. In his encounter with "Just Joe," his monkey-companion, Boone struggles to become the pupil, with "Just Joe" a teacher whose wisdom is not measured in words, but in his ability to vibrate with life's unity. These thoughtful tales demonstrate how the author spoke silently with all forms of life, and how he grew to understand their silent replies. Boone never looked down on animals as "lesser creatures;" rather, he looked across at them as companions in the grand adventure of life. Everything that lives has something of value to share with us - whenever we are ready for the experience.

Diaz, Marlyn

I was born the year Emmett Till was murdered in Money, Mississippi, and raised in West Philadelphia, a daughter of The Great Migration of my black brothers and sisters from the Rural South (1916 - 1970).I also grew up in the turbulent birth of the Civil Rights Movement with a battle for equality and justice that continues to this very day. The players have changed, but the struggle remains the same. I learned quickly that my America included people like James Brown and Angela Davis, reminding me to be Black and Proud, and that there were many people in the other America who hated me for one reason only: I am black. The other America portrayed on the television screen was not the America I lived in. Around this time, I began my love of reading and writing. Writing for me has become a way to express the love, the hurt, and all the feelings in between. My writings have evolved as I have evolved. My early poems reflect love and loss. Like all young women finding true love was a major part of my existence. My writings continue to reflect the journey of my life and the struggles of America to realize that we all matter. Through my poems, I have tried to celebrate those differences. As we journey through life, we must learn to meet each person where they are regardless of race, age, economic status, disability, or any other difference they may have. We must learn to celebrate each life and each journey. For in this celebration, we truly learn to experience and enjoy life for all she is.I believe that one person can make a difference. If everyone who reads or listens to my poems wakes up tomorrow and vows to make just one more person in the world happy, I will have completed the journey of this book. May those who read my poetry, or join me for a reading, see a reflection of themselves.

Perfect couples do not exist; nor do perfect families. Yet, in our photoshopped, Instagrammable world where we only present flawless versions of ourselves, we are easily tricked into believing they do. Clinical psychologist, Dr. Alyson Nerenberg has spent 30 years listening to couples, families, executives, celebrities, and professional athletes, and is here to share the truth. Whether we are willing to admit it or not, every one of us experiences challenges in our relationships.\nWhile many books have been written about overcoming our own perfectionism, rarely has one described our tendency to expect perfection from others. How do we cope when our illusions of flawless relationships are shattered? What do we do when we discover extra-marital affairs, addiction, financial betrayal, or dishonesty from our partners? What happens when we realize our children are in crisis? In those moments, we have several decisions to make: we can face our loved ones, we can deal with our own vulnerabilities, or we can run.\nWith wisdom and compassion, Dr. Nerenberg thoroughly explores the origins of perfectionism and how it keeps us stuck in a cycle of disappointment, anger, and resentment. Expertly combining psychological theory, popular culture, her patients' life-changing moments, and her own challenges and growth, Dr. Nerenberg transforms trauma into triumph. Through case studies and powerful tools, including 12 clarifying questions that help us decide whether to stay or leave our relationships, she helps us write a new story where we overcome our adversities and find meaning in our heartbreaks.

What mortal things are fleeting, and what stay with us forever? 
Set during a time of changing values and beliefs and in a Philadelphia neighborhood known for its diversity of ethnicity, race, and social-class, MORTAL THINGS shines a light on the impact of the families we are given and the ones we choose. 
Told in alternating perspectives against the vibrant backdrop of one of Philadelphia's most distinctive neighborhoods, Mortal Things is a powerful reflection on the transient ties that can bind or break us. 
"Ned Bachus's compulsively readable novel Mortal Things is a gorgeously written portrait of human friendship and all its longing and connection and loss. Set in a diverse Philadelphia neighborhood, the city is rendered so vividly you'll feel you live there. Bachus's writing displays such great depth and intelligence and sensitivity-all of which makes this novel wonderfully immersive. The book is profoundly moving and entertaining, with wry humor and knowing insights on display on every resonant page." 
-Susan Conley, author of Landslide, a New York Times Editor's Choice 
"With an acute sense of place and insightful characterization, Ned Bachus captures the long-lasting ripple effects of chance meetings, unspoken truths, and the losses haunting our lives. Class divides of late 1980s Philadelphia, our much-needed connection in an atomized society, and how our sorrows can drive us to the unexpected are all masterfully explored. An atmospheric and powerful debut novel with deep emotional impact." 
-Marjan Kamali, author of the Boston Globe bestseller The Stationery Shop and the Massachusetts Book Award finalist Together Tea 
Erudite, insightful, deftly crafted, entertaining, thoughtful and thought-provoking, "Mortal Things" by author Ned Bachus is one of those novels that will linger in the mind and memory long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf.
