  • Book cover of Finding a Balanced Connection: Build Well-Being from Within, Take Back Your Life and Permanently Change It for the Better.

    10 principles to help you build well-being from within and permanently change your life for the better. Do you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or angry? Do you frequently feel stuck and that you are living a life that doesn't mean enough to you? Are you more attached to behaviours and substances than you know is really good for you? Whether or not we've already acquired a label like 'anxious', 'depressed', 'co-dependant' and/or 'addicted', most of us know we could be enjoying this life more than we are. However, until now, we may have had no clear answer as to why we can struggle so much. Finding a Balanced Connection explains, in simple terms, why we have a tendency to work in ways that often seem counter to our own happiness and well-being. Taking you gently on an expansive journey, starting with where it all begins - yourself - through to relationships with others, this practical guide introduces 10 key principles intended to cultivate more contentment, purpose, and even joy, in your life. Discover how to: - Increase connection with yourself - Communicate more helpfully - Have better access to your creative imagination - Connect more often with others - Choose helpful boundaries, and much more! With this practical, down-to-earth guide you can significantly reduce those feelings of unease, boredom and compulsiveness, whilst living the more purposeful life you want, and deserve. What John-Paul's client's say about him (website - www.thistrustedplace.co.uk): 'You might have been prepared to come to terms with the tough stuff; but John-Paul creates a space in which you can face reality, including the joy of living ...even when you had almost forgotten what it was.' 'I never thought it would be possible, but I am now medication free and feeling happier, safer and more confident than ever. I would wholeheartedly recommend John-Paul to anyone seeking a therapist, and will always be grateful for his help.' '...before starting the sessions with John-Paul, I may have been a little reticent to tell them that I'd sought the services of a psychotherapist, let alone recommend one to them - such is the change in my view.' 'I can honestly say that I feel happier in myself than I have been for as long as I can remember, I have learned to like myself again and believe in my abilities to achieve my goals... I cannot recommend John-Paul highly enough, he has helped me turn my life around and start enjoying each day, whatever it may throw at me.'

  • Book cover of Footnote #2

    The second issue of Alternating Current's annual literary publication contains 43 works of poetry, maps, photographs, fiction, essays, articles, and nonfiction by 30 authors about various historical topics. Within these pages, you will find contemporary outlooks on history right alongside little-known public domain works that feel as fresh and as vibrant (and as scary) as if they were written today. Here, the old meets the new, and you'll discover fascinating history from a personal, non-scholarly literary approach.In this issue, you'll meet Jack the Ripper, Fanny Hooe, Jesse James, Geronimo, Lewis & Clark, Nikolai Vavilov, and the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald. You'll learn of the catastrophic Hartley Colliery mining disaster, the woman who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel, the lost language of the Clatsop, harvesting sugar beets during World War II, how Commonwealth Indians were treated during World War I, and the costs of artistic patronage. You'll discover what Dorothy was like during the Great Depression and how Lucile Fitch gave birth to an atomic bomb. Writers speak about deafness, queerness, and birth control in the face of Margaret Sanger's and Alexander Graham Bell's abhorrent eugenics rants, alongside the effects of the Oklahoma City bombing, erasure poems of Jules Verne, and the sacrifices of historical witchcraft.The Featured Writer, Holly M. Wendt, mines 18th-century New England newspapers for responses to clippings about lost items, weeks at sea, feminism, and transporting lions. Her work is showcased next to the winners and finalists for the 2016 Charter Oak Award for Best Historical.
