Connor Franta shared his journey from small-town Midwestern boy to
full-fledged Internet sensation. Exploring his past with humor and
astounding insight, Connor reminded his fans of why they first fell
in love with him on YouTube-and revealed to newcomers how he
relates to his millions of dedicated followers. Now, two years
later, Connor is ready to bring to light a side of himself he's
rarely shown on or off camera. In this diary-like look at his life
since A Work In Progress, Connor talks about his battles with
clinical depression, social anxiety, self-love, and acceptance; his
desire to maintain an authentic self in a world that values shares
and likes over true connections; his struggles with love and loss;
and his renewed efforts to be in the moment-with others and
himself. Told through short essays, letters to his past and future
selves, poetry, and original photography, Note to Self is a raw,
in-the-moment look at the fascinating interior life of a young
creator turning inward in order to move forward.

Herbs are wonderful things. Without them so much would not be
possible. With the advance of science over the last two hundred
years these once mystical plants have changed and saved countless
lives, vastly improving our standard of living while providing us
all with a much richer, healthier diet. Today, we take for granted
a world full of life-saving drugs, luxury cosmetics and exotic
foods. This fascinating book will tell this story: revealing how
poisons once used by the ancient Romans such as Deadly Nightshade
are now being used in modern medicine or how the herbs used by
indigenous people around the world have provided remedies for
countless illnesses. It will explore the myths and legends behind
herbs such as the infamous Mandrake and how herbs such as Yarrow
are still being used to treat wounds today, just as they were
thousands of years ago; and it will show how exotic herbs from
across the globe have enriched our lives and delve into the origins
of the culinary herbs that everyone knows and loves. Seventy-five
herbs have been carefully chosen to tell the story of how they have
each changed our world, looking back at their origins and what was
once believed, while comparing this with the modern day uses and
the scientific value of these plants enabling the reader to
understand and appreciate their importance. Each double page spread
will provide both historic and modern illustrations of each herb
alongside captivating accounts of their historical and modern day
uses including supplementary botanical and horticultural
information for each.

to a very special place indeed...

Koester/Cherish is ? selfkoesterboek vir die voos van hart en siel,
vir dié wat besef die lewe kán beter wees sonder ? adrenalien
rush en dat koester nodig is vir elke dag se uitdagings. Die boek
is tweetalig. Koester is iets waarvan Tanya haarself ontneem het,
en om dit weer op die ouderdom van 55 te begin doen, was
vreesaanjaend, maar iets wat sy met ope arms verwelkom. En nog ?
groter lugtigheid is die teken van jou siel, nie net mooi prentjies
maak nie, maar die neersit van die eerlikste sketse ooit wat jou
binneste wys. Sulke sketse sal jy in Koester/Cherish vind. Dr ST
Potgieter sê in die Voorwoord van hierdie boek: “Dit bring
onderdrukte emosies na die oppervlak en help jou daarmee deel.
Tanya toon die uitsonderlike begaafdheid om met tekenkuns én
woorde ? boodskap aan lesers te bring. Maar nog meer as dit, sy
doen dit op ’n besonder kreatiewe wyse deur buite die grense te
beweeg van boksies waarin ons elke dag gedruk word. Dit bring raad,
praktiese wenke en terapie byeen. Deur die terapie van skryf én
inkleur kan jy weer lag, speel, dink, vrede en vryheid kry. In
Koester/Cherish is Tanya op haar beste: kreatief, bevrydend,
skitterend. Cherish/Koester is a self cherish book for the fragile
of heart and soul, for those who realise that to cherish oneself is
not a once off adrenaline rush but an everyday exercise. This is a
bilingual text Tanya withheld cherish from herself, and to start
this very important new approach at the age of 55 is a scary
thought, but a life changer that she welcomes with everything she
has. The biggest challenge of this book was not to sketch pretty
pictures but to put her thoughts on paper in the most honest way
possible, sketches which give insight into her life journey, life
challenges, life lessons and daily epiphanies According to dr ST
Potgieter, a well known psychologist, Colouring brings suppressed
emotions to the surface, and helps you deal with them Tanya has the
unique ability to combine her art and words to bring her message
across She has a creative way of moving away from any of the boxes
into which society tries to fit us This creativity brings
practical, workable advice and therapy together in the most
enjoyable manner Through the therapy of colouring in and writing,
one discovers the value of laughter, calm and peace and the freedom
of no rules (when picking up a colouring pencil) which brings a bit
of relief from every day s woes In Cherish/Koester Tanya is at her
very best: creative, liberating, brilliant.
