Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a psychiatric condition
that affects nearly 2% of the general population, predominantly
women. Symptoms of BPD include impulsivity, mood swings, unstable
intense relationships and feelings of chronic emptiness. Research
on BPD has lagged behind that on other mental health conditions,
such as depression and psychosis, primarily due to the lack of
evidence of effective treatment but also due to the stigma
historically associated with the condition. Fortunately this
situation is changing, with improved treatments now available and
improved clinician/organizational willingness to engage with those
with a diagnosis of BPD. This candid book collaboratively
co-authored by a person recovered from BPD and a BPD specialist
therapist is written specifically for people with BPD (with support
teams, including family, friends and clinicians also likely to
benefit from reading the book). This authoritative and easily
readable guide provides a compassionate understanding of the
condition, plenty of in-depth practical recovery strategies and
credible and realistic hope for recovery. The authors draw from the
latest research and share years of personal and professional
experience that brings the book alive. Review comments from
Vice-President, National Education Alliance for BPD and Director,
Middle Path (BPD advocacy organizations) include "most
down-to-earth, accessible book for people with BPD" and "tremendous
and potentially life-changing gift".

In 2011, I was asked by author, Savannah Rayne, to do a weekly spot
on her blog and "Mystic Monday" was born. Since then, each and
every Monday I have shared a collection of beginner's basics with
our readers, including what I have studied, the knowledge I have
gained, and what I have come to practice since my days of being a
Reiki student. I am now a Reiki Master. In addition, as a child I
realized I had the capabilities to communicate with earth-bound
spirits. This book combines my personal experiences with both of my
gifts into one place, to help those who seek to learn more about
Reiki, and the after-life.
Sniff Streetwas the dirtiest, scruffiest street in Bogsley, and
Miss Potts' house was the most disgusting and revolting of all the
disgusting and revolting houses in it. She seemed to take delight
in surrounding the place with rubbish, bottles of rancid milk and
maggot-infested garbage. And why did one of her eyes stick out like
a glassy golf ball? No wonder eleven-year-old Charlie Mace did his
best to keep away from the place. But one day Charlie finds himself
cornered by Miss Potts, and is roughly transported into a strange
woodland world, a world in which he encounters a very odd
collection of beings. They all seem to live in dread of The Stink,
a dark, smelly and noisome creature which haunts the forest.
Charlie does his best to help his new friends fight back - and then
he discovers the shocking link between the Stink and Miss Potts -
Charlie Mace and the Big Stink is a vivid, colourful and compelling
story for youngsters aged 10-14.
