Collection: Self-Development

This newly revised edition of the book is designed for adult caregivers to read to surviving youngsters following a suicidal death. The story allows individuals an opportunity to recognize normal grieving symptoms and to identify various interventions to promote healthy ways of coping with the death of a special person. Although the language used in the book is simplistic enough to be read along with children and ultimately stimulating family discussion, it can be beneficial to all who have been tragically devastated by suicide. It is recommended for this book to be utilized in conjunction with therapy.

The "down-to-earth, unsentimental, [and] high-humored" Pema Chödrön classic on learning to face our lives just as they are (Los Angeles Times)

It's true, as they say, that we can only love others when we first love ourselves--and we can only experience real joy when we stop running from pain. The key to understanding these truisms is simple but not easy: we must learn to open ourselves up to life in all its manifestations. Here, spiritual teacher and When Things Fall Apart author Pema Chödrön presents a uniquely practical approach to doing just that, showing us the true value in having "no escape" from the ups and downs of life.

Drawing from her own experiences with marriage, divorce, motherhood, and more, Pema reveals that when we embrace the happiness and heartache, the inspiration and confusion--all the twists and turns that are part of natural life--we can begin to discover a true wellspring of courageous love that's been within our hearts all along. As she writes in chapter four: "Our neurosis and our wisdom are made out of the same material. If you throw out your neurosis, you also throw out your wisdom."

The highly anticipated debut monograph from one of today's leading designers championing playful, original interiors infused with Scandinavian flair.

Swedish-born, London-based interior designer Beata Heuman founded her eponymous studio in 2013 after working for Nicky Haslam for nine years. In a short amount of time her lively interiors and custom furnishings have made her one of today's most in-demand creatives.

Lauded for international residential and commercial projects, Heuman has also garnered praise for her growing collection of bespoke fabrics, wallpaper, lighting, homewares, and furniture.
This beautifully crafted volume presents Heuman's innovative approach in book form for the very first time. Organized according to design principle, each chapter offers fresh ways to think about decorating a home, finding your voice, making ordinary details extraordinary, and forging a truly unique space. Vibrant photographs showcase standout properties--including several London town houses and a Nantucket vacation residence--that are brought to life by cheerful color palettes, unexpected contrasts, and a dégagé use of bold patterns and texture. With original drawings and whimsical graphic details, this new tome is a dynamic look into the ethos and work of one of the most exciting names in interior design today.

Holding space is the practice of compassionately witnessing, accepting, and supporting someone without judgement, while retaining your boundaries and sense of self.

The ability to "hold space" for yourself and for others has never been more urgent. Faced with global issues of climate change, political unrest, violence, and economic crises, more citizens of the world are experiencing disconnection, grief, and a deep sense of loneliness than at any other time.

But, with the right tools, you and your circle can become part of the solution. In this profound book, facilitator and speaker Heather Plett empowers you with constructive, actionable practices for transforming conflict, building boundaries, and increasing sovereignty in your own life--and the lives of those closest to you.

You'll learn:
- How to create a non-judgmental space for yourself and others
- How to build trust and autonomy
- How to create and refine your circle of trust
- How to move through trauma
- How to reawaken your authentic identity
- How to work through conflict
- How to create "brave spaces" that allow for free expression

When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgement and control. We show we are willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey they're on without making them feel inadequate, needing to change them, or trying to impact the outcome.

By holding space, you create a container for liberation to occur in your life and in society. The Art of Holding Space is an instrument for hope, transition, and positive change in our time of near-constant transition, as we yearn to emerge into a new story.

About Us:

"Circle It" word search books are published by Lowry Global Media LLC. We are a Ma-and-Pa run company in the great state of Colorado.

One day Ma had a great idea (full story below), make a word search book that reads like a regular book, but bold some of the words in the text instead of just making a list of words to search for in the puzzle. Let everyone have fun reading interesting facts, getting smarter, and enjoying the challenge of a word search.

Years ago my Dad was in the Mayo Clinic hospital in Rochester Minnesota for an extended stay after a complicated surgery. Ma went to the gift shop to find a word search book to give my Dad something to do (you can only watch so much TV before your brain goes to mush), but all of the word search books they had were just boring lists of words printed on cheap thin crappy paper. Ma said, Pa these books are terrible...I have an idea....

Next thing I know (I'm Pa), I am on the internet trying to figure out how to start a business and become a publisher (this was in late 2011). By April of 2012 I had everything set up and was ready to publish our first book, oh but wait, we had to actually make our first book. We figured that everyone likes cats (wrong, I kinda don't), so we made "Cat Facts", published it, and within a few weeks it was a top 100 best seller on Amazon. Holy cow, we did it!!! People liked reading interesting facts and doing our word searches.

Now, many years later, we have published over 200 different "Circle It" word search book titles.

"Circle It" word searches are printed in different locations all over the world. If you buy one in the USA, it prints in the USA and goes directly to you. If you buy one in the United Kingdom, it prints in the UK (employing your neighbors) and goes directly to you. The same goes for: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, South Korea, India, Australia, and Brazil.

When you buy our books, you are helping to keep people in your community employed with great jobs.

Have a wonderful day.

Reiki is an ancient and profoundly simple system of "laying on of hands" healing derived from Tibetan Buddhism. In the West, Reiki has been kept highly secret for many years. ESSENTIAL REIKI presents full information on all three degrees of this healing system, most of it in print for the first time. Teaching from the perspective that Reiki healing belongs to all people, Diane Stein breaks new ground in her classic guide to this ancient practice.
