Losing weight is one of the hardest things to do for many people. After spending my life with years of defeat, I grew tired of losing at life, being overweight, hating my life as it was, forgetting all the things I should have been thankful for When you are caught up in a dark place, you tend to forget what you have that is good. Everything seems bad I was losing the battle, having diabetes to the extreme, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, a low thyroid-these did not help. I was well over 100 pound overweight. I knew deep within my heart there had to be a solution, an answer to my problem. I needed for someone to rescue me Not realizing I had the answer and the power inside of me. I established a relationship with Jesus Through my search, Jesus changed my thinking, making me understand that to have victory is to change my lifestyle. I had to renew my mind, change the way I looked at food and life. I chose life With help from Jesus, I researched with the direction of the Holy Spirit, finding my way to true success Stop living to eat Start eating to live

-"Quisqueyanos sono ya la hora De vengar tantos siglos de ultraje; El que a Dios y a su patria desdora, Que de oprobio y baldon se amortaje. No mas cruz que la cruz quisqueyana, Que da honor y placer el llevarla; Pero el vil que prefiera la hispana, Que se vaya al sepulcro a ostentarla."

New Englanders are always cursing. But a colorful profanity uttered by some stero-typically taciturn old Yankee is usually more humorous than menacing. Yet, true maledictions (the opposite of benedictions) have frequently been spoken on New England soil, curses intended to invoke evil, injury, or total destruction against other people. Stories about preternatural revenge are numerous in Yankee lore, with each New England state providing its favorites. You'll read about curses that were followed by the strange disappearance of a father and daughter in Rhode Island, mysterious afflictions in Massachusetts, a river of death in Maine, an unaccountable blight in New Hampshire, unexplained madness in Connecticut, and other eerie happenings from New England's colorful history. Some are well known, at least regionally. Others are nearly forgotten. Within these pages, storyteller Joseph A. Citro vividly brings these tales to life, letting us decide if these tales of woe were bad luck or . . . something else.

You can find your balance and the keys to success and enlightenment by implementing a plan of mind, body and spirit. Through the mastery of virtues we are ultimately able to master ourselves. This book provides a powerful framework that will liberate you to all the possibilities and magic in the world. "Dead Presidents," is ghetto-parlance for money. Benjamin Franklin is the only non-president to grace American paper currency. His face, on the highly prized $100, spawned the phrase, "All about the Benjamin's." As one of the first millionaires in American history, he felt establishing a virtuous life was the key to great success. He also knew that money was a tool; a sharp one. This is a guide to take hold of those virtues and shape the course of your life. Franklin, in his great genius, focused on 13 virtues. He would work each of those virtues for seven days. He would go through the cycle four times a year, starting anew every 13 weeks. The coded-cycles help make our dreams come true. Benjamin Franklin's contributions continue to have a huge impact on our world. It is time to return back to wholeness, prosperity and goodness. It is our duty. When we start to focus on living more virtuous lifestyles, the hope for our lives and humanity grows greatly. When we chart our course, we move with power and love. Capt. Brad Borden, USA (Ret.)

How can a person have positive, productive days, which sometimes become weeks, and then without warning, experience negative, unproductive days which sometimes become weeks or longer? Is it just the ebb and flow of life, or is it based on our choices and decisions? Life is meant to be lived to its fullest, which is an option for all rational individuals.

There are no born winners and no born losers, only born choosers. Once a person realizes that at every moment in time they have choices to change the direction of their life, then their life will change. Listed below are a few of the topics addressed in "A Spirit Never Tires":
Knowing the real you Choosing the life you want to live Increasing your belief and confidence Goal setting to achieve your dreams Understanding the impact of your words Eliminating negative self-talk and thoughts Creating a peaceful mind

"A Spirit Never Tires" is based on the belief that the human spirit never tires of providing multiple options and the best choices to a connected individual. This is your opportunity to jump on the train and awaken your untapped powers so the entire world can see the true and authentic you

Rewiring the Brain is not just another book on stress. It explores a daring and innovative path to accessing the power of consciousness as a more effective and lasting solution to tackle stress and emotional afflictions. The present remedies, such as drills of positive thinking and self-hypnosis through beliefs, accrue only temporary solace and euphoria that wear off sooner than expected. Also our reasoning power is not able to rein in the unyielding force of negative emotions that fuel stress and depression. Hence, this book pursues a new approach. It outlines also certain ways that slow down aging process and enhance memory, attention span, and emotional equilibrium. The book is a fascinating journey to the inner world of self-its constructs of emotions, thoughts, and memories-to discover why one behaves the way one does. We go through myriads of joys and sorrows in the long course of life, but hardly have the patience to pause and ponder over the reasons that make them. Does it matter? Yes, much more than perhaps one realizes. Stress should not be seen as an isolated issue. It betrays the quality of individual self in its ceaseless action of living. We have one and only life-the most precious thing we happen to possess, and it is but natural that we struggle hard to do our utmost to make it a wonderful experience. Stress, in its overt or covert forms, works as a persistent factor that undermines the spontaneity, joy, and beauty of life. In this competitive and complex world, one faces countless factors of stress that are unavoidable and immutable, including illness, accident, or death. There are some other factors that can be altered through efforts, which play a more decisive role in life. These are individual attitude, mental tendencies, and ways one interacts with external world. There is much truth in the saying "Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it." An objective understanding of these individual factors means that half the battle of tackling stress is won. Hence, the book seeks to help the reader face and understand the workings of inner self and its intricacies without resorting to psychological escape or suppression. Yet an objective understanding is only the first step. It does not resolutely change our mental habits and conditionings that are hardwired in the brain. This suggests the need to go beyond the remedies prevalent now and look for fundamentally new solutions. In such effort, this book explores the possibility of using the power of consciousness to rewire the brain and tackle stress. The book has a refreshingly open-minded approach, devoid of religious ideologies or mystical beliefs, and does not involve psychological escapes. The practical methods and benefits are outlined in a scientific spirit and correlated with research by neuroscientists, psychologists, and medical institutes. The book does not offer shortcuts or peripheral solutions, because none exists. Neither does it offer self-hypnosis and gratifying beliefs that are concealed in prescriptive actions and mental drills.

'Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.'Wayne DyerFor years Wayne Dyer has been researching the power of intention, the energy that surrounds all of us. He tells us how we can train ourselves to tune into this energy and step beyond our minds and egos. When we do this we become what Dyer calls 'Connectors' and make ourselves available to the energy of success.Connectors are the people whom everyone sees as lucky, the people who get all the breaks. They don't say, 'With my luck, everything will go wrong,' they just know things will go well. They trust an invisible force that will be all-providing and just don't attract negativity to themselves. This book is full of dynamic steps that we can use to tap into this transformational energy.This book explores intention - not as something you do - but as an energy you're part of. We're all intended here through the invisible power of intention. This is the first book to look at intention as a field of energy you can access to begin co-creating your life!
