Like a well-worn, snuggly blanket, this sweet bedtime story about a little bear who's afraid of the dark and his mother's creative solution will warm and comfort readers big and small. Frankie is a little bear who has a hard time falling asleep. The dark is scary, and he hates to be alone. So his mother gives him a ball of yarn to hold when he goes to bed, and she keeps the other end in the next room, working it into a surprise for Frankie. Every few nights the yarn color changes, and Frankie dreams in all the colors that he and his mother pick out. One night he's swimming in turquoise water, another night he's in a cool gray fog. He plays with a marmalade kitten and eats delicious chocolate cake. Eventually Frankie and his mother create something special--and Frankie learns that he's always connected to those he loves, even when he's alone in the dark. A beautiful story of love and crafting, A Bedtime Yarn will appeal to knitters, sleepy little bears and any parents dealing with their child's fear of the dark.

Book Description
"Winner of the 2022 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal in Non-Fiction - Inspirational genre!” "A mind-expanding introduction to spiritual development, Soulwork is both nuanced and universal. Philosophy, dogma, theory, and anecdotal experience blend in a heady and inspiring read that evokes confidence without arrogance, and is compelling without proselytizing. Radcliffe has struck a balance that so many self-help and spiritual advisors miss, which makes this guide a true standout." - Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★★ Science demands we look at the world through a rational lens, and religion asks us to rely on faith, but most of us fall somewhere in between. We want to engage with our soul and connect to something larger than ourselves in a way that honors both our head and our heart. With love and compassion for the human journey, Soulwork offers a thoughtful approach to navigating the nebulous world of personal spiritual development. Using plenty of real-life examples, this book can help you; Understand the life-changing benefits of doing your Soulwork Connect with your own energy and that of the Universe Tackle common barriers to working with unseen guidance Determine if the Universe is trying to tell you something (vs. just your imagination) Find your Soulwork, heal your core wounds, and bring your gifts into the world Whether your spirituality is independent of a faith tradition or aligns with a current religious framework, Soulwork presents a process to help you get out of your own way to manifest your most fulfilling and meaningful life.

Book Description
Angels Hour tells of a recovering alcoholic's therapy with a suicidal adolescent female. Steven Renaldi, age 40, is two years sober and employed as a clinical therapist at a mental health agency. Jackie Sorrentino, age 17, is referred to the agency after a suicide attempt. The novel is structured in such a fashion as to demonstrate the parallels between the therapeutic process and the hero's journey, as outlined in Joseph Campbells, The Hero With a Thousand Faces. The central theme of the novel is that a good life must be earned. Jackie initially responds to The Call to Adventure with resistance. She is confrontational and often resorts to intellectualization as a means to thwart Steven's clinical interventions. Crossing The Threshold is the next stage of Jackie's therapy. Here she begins to uncover unconscious memories. They are of such trauma that a second suicide attempt occurs. When Jackie ventures Beyond The Watcher in her therapy, she experiences a level of psychic unease that results in several cancelled sessions. Dream analysis becomes an integral part of therapy. Entering The Belly Of The Whale, Jackie becomes immersed in unconscious energy that yields clues to childhood mysteries. The Road Of Trials is the stage of Jackie's therapy where the work of processing losses in her life commences. More clues are revealed. A precipice in therapy is reached when Jackie faces her Dark Satori, the secret of her past. She must now decide what to do with this knowledge. Jackie's therapeutic journey ends and she achieves A Freedom To Live by moving beyond loss and into new adventures. A subtext of the novel is Steven's own journey. His gradual ascension from sarcastic, struggling alcoholic to one who can see the beauty and wonder oflife is illustrated in chapters alternating with Jackie's journey. The author is fifty- four years old. He possesses a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in Child Development. He has been employed as a clinical social worker for the past twenty- five years, specializing in the treatment of adolescents and their families. He is the author of The Tao of Creative Caddying.
