DOODLE in it. Take it EVERYWHERE. No one is going to see what's inside but you. This is not just another self-help book. Think of it as an evolve-yourself book. I do hope it helps you hold the rudder straight, no matter how turbulent the waves, and that you come out the other end buoyant, with a new appreciation for the privilege of life. Love RUBY x

Rikki and her sister, Linda, fell out with one another four months ago. They are not speaking when Linda emails that she has lethal abdominal tumors, that her only hope of survival is a total bone marrow replacement. Linda claims Rikki is too old to donate, and explains there's only a slight chance she is a good match anyway-but Rikki refuses to accept that. Despite the wounding between them, Linda's email ignites a wild aspiration in her sister: she will become the perfect donor, the perfect match, with the healthiest, most vigorous cells possible. She rises with intent to heal herself, her sister, and their rootlines, the patterns formed in their family of origin that have quietly shaped their lives. Rikki walks through the science while confronting dogma that limits how mind can transform body. She builds herself into a stem cell factory using Muay Thai kickboxing and vegetarian nutrition. Working through childhood wounds and mental limits with meditation and yoga, she finds her own power, as well as ways to show up for Linda and walk with her from the edge of death to a new life. Together, the two sisters beat the lymphoma-and, as they rediscover the intimacy and love of their innocent childhood, heal the intertwined roots of their family pain.

A Treasury of Hashish is a complete history of hashish, from prehistory right up to the classic hippy era after which real hashish sort of disappeared over the horizon. This new edition of the wonderful classic, long out of print, is entirely hand lettered with a clever drawing, rare photo, or antique map on every page--a work of art. Dr. Sumach explains that the ancient golden age societies of China, Greece, and Rome were familiar with high end hashish and valued the imported article as a powerful medicine and aid to the work of imagination management. Real hashish has always been the plaything of kings and those with whom he was friendly...the artists and poets at his court. But we learn, hashish could also be wielded as a terrible tool of tyrants. When pioneers brought hash back home to America, this super smoke created a instant market for high quality, reasonably priced, imported hashish among the urban hippies who were more accustomed to hotboxing ditchweed and indulging in the occasional joint of Mexican bunk. Real hash was legendary, the stuff of hippy fairy tales, as hash smuggling soon became the dangerous game of bravado that was more trouble than it was worth. A Treasury of Hashish reveals that hash is something unique and specially prepared. Hence its great cost and rarity, even in the olden days. This is because the secrets of growing the finest pedigree cannabis plants under optimal conditions, selecting the best specimens and preparing them for hashish requires a master chefs eye for quality. Making real hash is more an art than a science. It can be done, and you can do it too, but you have to pay attention.
