For any woman who's ever felt burned out, beaten down, or needs a
reminder of how powerful she is, third-degree black belt and
motivational coach of ABC's "My Diet Is Better Than Yours" teaches
a unique brand of badassery--how to get back up no matter what life
throws at you; how to level up your mind, body and spirit; and how
to turn your setbacks into secret weapons. Jennifer Cassetta is a
nationally recognized keynote speaker, health and empowerment
coach, and a 3rd-degree black belt in Hapkido. After a brush with
death on September 11th, 2001, three blocks south of the World
Trade Center and then fending off an attacker late one night months
later, Jenn took a deep dive into martial arts training where she
learned how to harness the power of mind, body, and spirit. Now she
teaches women from colleges to corporations how to unleash their
inner badass by using dojo wisdom as a metaphor for life. Whether
the opponent is a financial hardship, a difficult boss, or being in
a manipulative relationship, Cassetta teaches readers how to flex
their mental muscle, how to rise above fears, and how to turn
setbacks into superpowers. Through thought-provoking exercises and
no-holds-barred humor, she shows women how to close the door on
blame and shame; how to grow from their Greatest (S)Hits List of
life disappointments; and how to disarm and defend against the
blocks that hold them back. In life--just like in martial arts--we
get pushed and pulled and kicked down. We get banged up and bruised
and stretched to our limits. Cassetta champions women that while
they may bend, they will not break, and that they have the power
within them to rise up and stand tall. Chapter 1: WHITE BELT:
Embrace the Suck Chapter 2: YELLOW BELT: Bounce Back Chapter 3:

Roar Chapter 5: BLUE BELT: Elevate Your Energy Chapter 6: RED BELT:

unexplained events and unsolved mysteries in this book will take
you on a frightening journey to the outer limits of plausibility,

With an enthusiastic invitation to use her book as an interactive
guide to deepen the reader's prayer, Debbie Williams sets out to
redirect the focus from us to God, who is divine, and who can
accomplish all things. Using the acronym PRAY for Praise, Repent,
Ask, and Yield, she encourages a study of God's attributes with an
A-Z exploration which ranges from Almighty to Zealous God. Each
chapter reveals more of who God is and how He alone is capable to
meet our every need as we recognize who He truly is.

Circle, readers will learn how to develop their inherent intuition

A Book Lover’s Guide to the Zodiac marries astrology and literature by connecting both writers and fictional characters to the twelve different star signs and their particular traits.
Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
Astrology and literature have so much in common: our star signs help us to understand ourselves, our motivations and our behaviour, whilst reading enables us to make sense of the world, our own characters and those around us. Read how the passionate and overly idealistic Madame Bovary from Flaubert’s masterpiece exhibits all the traits of a Gemini, whilst the unconventional Virginia Woolf and Lewis Carroll, with his groundbreaking stories, are typical Aquarians.
With a chapter devoted to each star sign, and featuring entertaining extracts and poetry by classic writers, there’s much to learn and entertain here about books, poetry and astrology, guided by Charlie Castelletti’s witty and expert commentary running through the book.
Experts from six traditions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam,
Hinduism, Buddhism, and Chinese religions discuss rituals,
practices, and emotions as they relate to death and the hope of
life that follows death.
Are you a typical Sagittarius? Are you adventurous and optimistic,
a natural-born pioneer? What if we told you that your star sign is
only the beginning? Astrology has been around for thousands of
years - and there's so much more to it than your daily horoscope.
Did you know that your rising sign can give you an insight into the
way other people see you? Or that your Moon sign reveals the
secrets of your innermost emotions? Astrology can't predict your
future, but it can highlight your potential. This book shines a
light on your strengths, your weaknesses, what you can achieve and
the opportunities not to be missed. Use it to gain a better
understanding of who you are and who you might become.
Yoruba priestess, Iyanla Vanzant offers practical guidance on a wide variety of spiritual matters. 'In the Meantime' will be a revelation to anyone who dreams of finding true love.
Barking dogs, silent birds and a malodorous stench foretell
encounters with the ghostly apparitions and strange creatures that
stalk Magic Valley. Are these just fanciful notions and figments of
the imagination? Not according to eyewitnesses who swear things
really do go bump in the night in south central Idaho. Read about
the Stricker Ranch caretaker awakened by the phantom of a pioneer
woman, the piercing red eyes that frightened visitors at Albion's
normal school campus, the couple whose property is haunted by
ancient spirits and the woman and her grandson who encountered
Bigfoot's foul stench in a local wilderness. Turn on the lights,
get cozy and read on as author Andy Weeks investigates the
phenomena and local lore of Idaho's Magic Valley.
Eckhart Tolle's writings on the power of living in the moment fast
became the most sought-after modern classic on spiritual
enlightenment. Now, in this new life-transforming book, we are
shown how to become our true selves by embracing silence and
stillness. When we are no longer limited by our thinking mind,
suffering and pain disappears and we are able to move towards a new
understanding of our relationships, of nature, and of the profound
wisdom that is to be found in stillness.

Aged fifty, on a whim, Marion Dunn joined a boxing gym. Training to
improve fitness quickly became something of an addiction, and then
a source of transformation. This is her myth-busting tale of four
years of slogging in an amateur boxing gym in northern England.
Marion's story is one of a developing love affair with the 'sweet
science'. It's also about obsession, hard work, companionship and
occasional bravery. But The Boxing Diaries is not just a story of
hard graft. It's a revealing account of life in the amateur boxing
gym: its idiosyncratic inhabitants, non-judgmental spirit,
dedicated coaches and respect for all comers, irrespective of age
or gender - provided their commitment to training is total. From
the sweat and toil in draughty halls, Marion takes us through the
years of preparation before she is finally ready to spar in the
ring. Every micro-improvement, every emotion is laid bare, and
along the way she considers the influences and events that might
have ignited her passion for the sport in the first place. Warning:
this is a knockout memoir that could make you want to start
swinging punches, too.
