Johnny mourns his uncle. He misses him as he doesn't come to play with him anymore. Or does he actually? A touching and affectionate story about a boy, who finds consolation in nature and is lovingly supported by his parents and grandmother.

An illustrated book for children from the age of four years about dealing with the loss of a relative, about grief and hope - from a five year old's perspective.

"This is hockey romance for hockey fans." --Rachel Reid, author of the Game Changers series A veteran hockey player and a rookie can't get away from each other—or their own desires—in this sexy, heartfelt opposites-attract hockey romance. Olly Järvinen has a long way to go. He’s got a fresh start playing for a new team, but getting his hockey career back on track is going to take more than a change of scenery. He’s got to shut his past out and focus. On the game, not on his rookie roommate and his annoyingly sunny disposition—and annoyingly distracting good looks. All Benji Bryzinski ever wanted was to play in the big leagues, and he’s not going to waste one single second of his rookie season. Yoga, kale smoothies and guided meditation help keep his head in the game. But his roommate keeps knocking him off track. Maybe it’s just that Olly is a grumpy bastard. Or maybe it’s something else, something Benji doesn’t have a name for yet. Olly and Benji spend all their time together—on the ice, in the locker room, in their apartment—and ignoring their unspoken feelings isn’t making them go away. Acting on attraction is one thing, but turning a season’s fling into forever would mean facing the past—and redefining the future. Trade Season Book 1: Season's Change Book 2: Contract Season

Author Alfreta Sailor knows life can be challenging at times. With a goal of motivating others to make small changes that have the power to make big differences, Sailor shares a thought-provoking guide filled with wisdom and advice drawn from her more than sixty years of life experiences. Sailor offers encouragement to anyone looking to be the voice of change not only in their own lives, but also in the lives of others in the form of relatable scenarios that provide a glimpse into such characters as Teenager Tonya, Suspicious Sam, Slacker Steve, and Model Daughter Daisy. These figures vividly illustrate how both good and bad choices affect not only our own lives, but also the lives of those around us. Through in-depth examination of common emotions such as jealously, insecurity, and pride, Sailor explores the foundation of relationships, provides possible outcomes, and suggests simple solutions that she hopes will instigate positive change. Seasons Change, So Can You speaks to anyone desiring practical advice on how to look inward and make life-changing transformations.

It's no secret that parenting is tricky business. With advice flooding in from all sides, strong-willed children pushing against boundaries, and our own human flaws, it's easy to get bogged down in every how-to that we're not doing well. But maybe that isn't the right approach. Maybe the first step is not to ask "how" but to ask "why." Like most parents, when Shelly Wildman had children, she consulted books, sermons, and lectures on how to raise the best children possible. Yet every resource focused on how to get external results: children who behave the way others expected them to. For Shelly and her husband, the turning point happened when they started asking why instead--shifting their focus to internal change. That's when their purpose as parents became clear: parents are called to do their best to show kids how to know and love Jesus, to love others, and to make a difference in the world. There are no rules here, no inflexible series of steps that lead to perfect parenting. Instead, Shelly encourages parents to think about their unique family and why each child's needs for spiritual growth might look different. She walks you through intentional questioning, focusing on building a firm foundation for lasting discipleship. And in the end, you'll discover that God wants the same outcome you do: a child who knows Christ intimately, loves him deeply, and has a heart to serve him fully.

This book of daily affirmations is a collection of simple but easily forgotten principles of positive thought and living in the moment that can empower you to achieve success and happiness in life. Inspired by the changing seasons, the calendar months, and nature's timeless wonder, these passages can serve as reminders that no matter what difficulties you face, when you plant positive seeds, they will blossom into positive results. Language has always been a powerful catalyst to inspire and motivate, even in the darkest times. A few reassuring words at the right moment can make a tremendous difference in how things turn out. Instead of falling into frustration or despair, you can use these affirmations to re-imagine your path forward with confident optimism. It’s as easy as taking a few minutes every day to step back from your hectic life, center yourself in the present moment, and reinforce your positive state of mind. Author/editor Abby Leigh Hunter began writing this book at the height of the 2020 pandemic. Having moved from the Midwest to California a year earlier, she was far from home and stressed about the safety of her family and loved ones. Focusing on the positives in her life and drawing on her love of nature, she began jotting down daily affirmations that helped her to stay focused on living in the moment and maintaining a positive frame of mind. Seasons change, your life will change, and each year can be better than the last if you take the actions necessary to remain positive and true to your goals. Never lose sight of life’s natural order: after every rain comes sunshine; after every storm, a tranquil calm; after night’s darkest hours, a new day always dawns bringing new opportunities to fill your life with prosperity and achieve your fondest dreams.

In some parts of the world, plant medicine is still taught at the kitchen table, by the cooking fire, or in the fields, passed down from parent to child and woven through the fabric of the culture. In many places it has been severely eroded, but it has not been lost. This book helps us reclaim and restore a hugely important part of our heritage: our plant medicine path. Conversations with Plants reminds us of the intimate bond that has always existed between people and plants and encourages us to bring them back into our daily lives. It includes instructions on how to develop these connections by using essential oils, gardening and growing herbs, medicine making and gathering wild food. It is an invitation to step into your own relationship with plants - their stories and meanings - feel into their medicine and understand how to work with them by bringing your own medicine into the conversation. It is for practitioners, students, and anyone wishing to deepen their knowledge of the green world.

Living life Life is beautiful when you learn to recognize it as a daily blessing. Life brings many surprises, some good and some bad. But regardless, life can be very fulfilling if you just grasp and take hold of it with courage. Its not where youve been that matters but where you are going in life. No one can say they have had a perfect life so far ..life just happens. My wish for you is to taste the journey through life, for we are just passing through. We become much richer, more wise when we use all our senses through that journey and we realize that what we have learned can be used to tell a better story of the world. Living Faith Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 Living Love Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is s not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ABOUT THE AUTHOR Elvia Morales works as a nurse but shed rather be writing poetry books for children and adults.
