Children's Corner: Parenting With a Story: Real-Life Lessons in Character for Parents and Children to Share with Paul Smith Tell a young person what to do - play fair, be yourself, stick to the task at hand - and most will tune you out. But show them how choices and consequences play out in the real world, with real people, and the impact will be far more profound. Parenting with a Story gathers 101 narratives from people around the world and from all walks of life, reflecting unexpected moments of clarity about who they are and how they should treat others. The lessons illuminate the power of character - integrity, curiosity, creativity, grit, kindness, patience, gratitude, and more - to prepare us for anything. Sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes funny, always compelling, these stories impart wisdom and help steer choices about: Resisting peer pressure; Remaining open-minded; Being humble; Making courageous decisions; Standing by their word; Bouncing back from failure; Showing compassion; and, Picking friends wisely. Stories help shape who we are and who we aspire to become. Share these, discuss them, and watch your child grow into the adult you'll be proud of.

Light Atonement with Ariyana, A Star Child Few have the gift to see into other dimensions. Fewer still are able to bring back the wisdom they find there. Even more rare are those like Ariyana — special enough to travel to other realities, bring back knowledge, and then lead others on journeys of their own. LIGHT ATONEMENT by Ariyana, a star child is the memoir of a woman with an amazing gift who finds that her purpose in life is to share it with others. Written so beautifully, it is impossible to read and not be uplifted. Ariyana was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. She moved to the United States at the age of 18 to attend the University of Southern California. It was there that she met her ex-husband, with whom she built a multimillion-dollar furniture business from scratch. After a series of revelations through meditation, and with the help of psychics and healers, Ariyana connected with her life’s purpose. She quit her position as the president of the furniture company, and, with the help of her cosmic family, has become a healer and consultant. For more information visit: http://www.astarchild.com/

Zamora Texts: The Year 9000 with B.W. Wojciechowski A lecturer in the year 9000 CE looks back over and analyses 14,000 years of human progress spanning the development of our ancestors and ourselves, and looking at the development of our descendants. With Zamora Texts: The Year 9000, B.W. Wojciechowski presents the lectures of Professor Yelita speaking in the year 9000 as he observes our social, political, military, scientific, technological and space-travel progress through history. The lecturer believes that all the powerful societies from our past and present collapsed because of internal social decay, and he reports on an apocalyptic period of regression, when our modern democracies will collapse, leading to a 500-year period of war and chaos. In this fifth book of the series, Wojciechowski highlights his strongly held belief that world leaders up to our times waste time trying to solve social problems by treating each in isolation, without objectivity, and without taking into consideration the interconnections, physical realities, and other constraints in any particular case. Bohdan W. Wojciechowski was born in Wilno, Poland (now Vilnius, Lithuania) in 1935 and migrated to Scotland as a child, before moving to Canada and earning his PhD in Chemistry. After working in the  petroleum industry in the United States, he returned to Canada and taught Chemical Engineering at Queen’s University for more than 30 years, publishing over 170 refered papers in the field of hydrocarbon reactions and more.

THE HUMAN AGENDA: Conversations about Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity with author Joe Wenke Despite the progress in the movement toward marriage equality, the LGBTQI community continues to face difficult, and often heartbreaking, odds. Gay and lesbian youth are four times more likely than their peers to attempt suicide. Nearly half of transgender teens have contemplated suicide and a quarter has made an attempt, according to The Trevor Project. Adoption equality and second-parent rights are still blocked in many states, and legislators in Oklahoma and Alabama have tried to introduce laws that make it legal to discriminate against gays and lesbians. Perhaps most disturbing of all, homicide rates for transgender women account for 45 percent of all hate murders, according to GLAAD. Joe Wenke thinks there is a better way. By opening up discussions about our shared humanity and experiences, Wenke is getting people to talk with, not at, each other and leaving the rancor and divisiveness behind, beginning with his book THE HUMAN AGENDA: Conversations about Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity. For this collection of frank conversations about growing up, coming out, finding your identity, family, marriage, parenting, careers and so much more.
