Memory Lane Was A Gravel For Eight Generations: 2nd Edition
$16.00 Quick ViewAdd to cartMemory Lane Was A Gravel For Eight Generations: 2nd Edition
Ed Butler is privileged to possess a wealth of stories about his ancestors, some of which have been passed down through generations, while others stem from his own experiences. These narratives often provoke more questions than they answer. For instance, how would one have survived in 1821, homesteading on land, if their husband disappeared while clearing land? How could a person endure a fifty-mile journey in an ox-drawn cart, traversing swampy forests with three young children, one of whom was too young for solid food? Do you know of anyone who left home at fourteen and returned only after nearly six years? Ed recalls that his father was the only person he knew who lived and traveled in a covered wagon and who trained and worked with three teams of oxen. His father milked cows for sixty-two years and had a remarkable connection with animals, long before the term "horse whisperer" became widely known. Ed's mother, with a two-year teaching certificate, taught in a one-room schoolhouse before her marriage and was adept at maintaining discipline in her classroom. Have you ever tasted dried Tennessee strawberries? How many people do you know who have owned a horse and carriage and driven it in a local parade? These stories, along with many others, are shared in this narrative. Ed provides context and explanations of terms to ensure modern readers can understand the way he was raised and how eight generations overcame the challenges they faced. He is gratified that many readers of the first edition have noted that similar stories of hardship and perseverance have been shared by the older generations in their own families. These stories, both his and those of others, form an integral part of American history. Ed hopes that readers will also take steps to preserve their family histories.

The Feng Shui Advantage: Get Your Space Working for You!
$17.95 Quick ViewAdd to cartThe Feng Shui Advantage: Get Your Space Working for You!
The Feng Shui Advantage is a thorough overview of the philosophies behind the practice of shifting the arrangements and energy of a home or office.
Kathryn Wilking's practical self-help guide The Feng Shui Advantage addresses office layouts and proper energy flow-among other esoteric applications of feng shui.
The book focuses on the feng shui philosophy of the Black Hat Sect or Black Tantric Buddhism, which emphasizes the five element theory of Chinese medicine. Herein, the elements-wind, fire, earth, metal, and water-represent ways of characterizing objects, people, and energy. Such feng shui, the book implies, can be used to alter the energy flow of a space-or to understand human behavior. In service of this, it includes an overview of feng shui as it pertains to work environments, which have the potential for quick energetic shifts.
There are instructions for arranging both offices and cubicles herein. Both are given with the goal of optimizing one's energy and productivity in a particular space. And the guidance extends to advice for where to sit in a meeting and the best position to work from in a coffee shop, among other scenarios. An intriguing overview of the bagua grid (which divides space into different areas of emphasis-for example, career, fame, and family) and its areas' connections to the elements, colors, and shapes fleshes out this work, illuminating how such associations might be used to encourage energy flow to a particular region.
The book's supporting material is multifaceted: personal stories from Wilking, her friends, and her clients are used to illustrate the different personalities, showing how feng shui can be used to shift energy and better understand others. And photographs are present to model how different objects might be used to emphasize particular elements, such as displaying items made of clay to support the earth element, which relates to relationships, health, and knowledge. Further, the book ensures its continued usefulness by acknowledging that a person's dominant tendencies can change over time.
The book does an able job of addressing the elements as a window for understanding one's personality traits, alongside a quiz for assessing one's own dominant elements. Related information about how certain personalities can work together or clash expands the book's perspective. However, the elements are not introduced in a way that seems reflective of how they build upon each other. Indeed, the book makes recommendations regarding changes in one's physical environment before establishing a thorough understanding of either personal elemental tendencies or how the elements interact at home and in workplaces.
And while some topics, like wealth and abundance, receive thorough treatments (on that subject, Wilking highlights the uses of positive thinking, personal expression, and enhancements of personal space to direct positive energy toward goals), not all subjects are handled with the same depth. Additionally, some of the book's advice is too dated, as with its rundown of Zoom etiquette and its coverage of working from home with children. Nor is there advice for reckoning with the reality that individual workers don't always have control over furniture or seating arrangements in their offices.
The insightful, layered lifestyle guide The Feng Shui Advantage covers home and office organization, decoration, and personality assessments in a way that goes beyond appearances, helping people to attract positive energy and opportunities.

Future Poets: A Guide For Aspiring Writers
$20.00 Quick ViewAdd to cartFuture Poets: A Guide For Aspiring Writers
This book is for all my fellow teachers out there who enjoy poetry and believe their students will become better writers if they keep practicing. Here are hundreds of ideas to stimulate your student's imaginations; students who are often willing to write, but don't have a clue what to write about. These ideas will give them a place to start.
Poetry works well for engaging student writers because it is challenging and yet flexible. There are so many types and styles of poems they can experience. There's also a lot of leeway in terms of punctuation, idioms and slang, and how the words appear on the page.
Poetry lends itself to success. Anyone can do it and it's personal; it comes from the students' experiences and emotions. It's subjective; the sort of writing to be appreciated rather than judged. The emphasis in this book is "students as poets." It's not about studying the famous poets who have gone before. It's about finding a love for expressing yourself that can last a lifetime.$20.00
