I'm sure you have seen them out of the corner of your eye from time to time, racing from hiding place to nook or cranny--odd little creatures of stitch and stuffing, of endless variety in form and manner. In these pages, you will not find a taxonomy of their features or a list of the names by which you might call them, you will find guidance on something far more important--the techniques and methods by which you might craft one of these little stitchlings of your very own.

It is a wonderful thing, I assure you, to bring an Impkin to life with hook and yarn, and herein you will find the detailed instructions necessary to craft one, with an endless array of options for ears, antennae, hats, wings, tails, scales, horns, hairstyles, clothing, and accessories. Each Impkin is unique, and only you can listen to find out what yours longs to be. Stitch by stitch, you'll cast a spell, until at last you have made a brand-new creature. Don't be surprised if it asks for a snazzy vest or a satchel to hold its treasures!

Though hard to spot at first, when you see one Impkin you can be sure there are more around. Impkins are social little creatures; once you make one, it is sure to clamor for a multitude of friends from your hook!

Leading psychologist and financial commentator Palaian offers a tested, step-by-step guide to help people break the spending obsession by looking within.

Today, Americans are saving less, carrying larger debt loads, losing their homes to foreclosure, and filing bankruptcy in record numbers. Yet, people continue to spend more than they can afford.

The advice of financial planners only treats the symptoms of overspending. In Spent, Sally Palaian offers proven plans for taking on a range of personal issues with money by examining those underlying emotional, familial, and societal factors that trigger spending behaviors.

Spent teaches readers to control shopping, pay off debt, develop budgets, and become financially competent through:

- easy-to-use assessment tools designed to pinpoint the severity of a problem

- questionnaires that facilitate the exploration of the root causes of unhealthy financial behaviors

- user-friendly exercises created to influence change from within

Palaian's system for financial recovery is also designed to help hoarders, financial codependents, and underachievers attain lasting, positive change and a healthy view of one's true value in life.

Palaian has spoken about financial disorders for various therapy associations and has served as an expert in the media on mental disorders and spending, most recently for MSN Money.

Embrace the joy of Paris wherever you live with American expat Ajiri Aki, founder of the French lifestyle brand Madame de la Maison.

"More than being a terrific guide to the city, it's a thoroughly comprehensive guide to better living."--Chioma Nnadi, editor of Vogue online

The French are known for their joie de vivre--celebrating the simple things--a philosophy that tastemaker Ajiri Aki embraced all of her American life. As a child, she frequently tried to convince her Nigerian-Jamaican mother to pull out the fine china for everyday meals or when hosting friends. Her mother always said she was waiting for a special occasion, which sadly never came before she passed away when Ajiri was only twelve. Ajiri promised herself she would never hesitate to use her treasured pieces. When she moved to Paris, France, as an adult, she learned how central that idea is to French life, and she also began to absorb other essential lessons from her new friends: treat yourself to fresh flowers just because, take time to source the best baguette, and perhaps most importantly, enjoy être--just being.

In this beautifully photographed volume of everything French, Ajiri shares what she's learned about living in Paris--from hosting the perfect apéro (happy hour) to lingering around town like a flâneur (loafer) to thrifting for antiques at the market. While exploring the prettiest cafes and shops, you'll be inspired to reclaim your right to leisure as the French have, so you, too, can savor the spontaneous, joyful moments that happen every day.

Find Hope and Recreate a Good Life After Losing a Spouse

"If you are going through the devastating loss of your spouse, read this book. It will truly help." - Catherine P.

Life Reconstructed is written by a widow, for widows and those who love them.

"This book has given me new feelings of hope and courage to move forward in my life in a way that many sessions with a grief counselor could not. I am forever grateful to Teresa Beshwate for writing such a profound and meaningful book that made such a difference in my life." -Nancy L.

Are you a widow or widower struggling with grief and moving forward after losing a spouse? The problem isn't you. It's the grief that is changing the way your brain works (or doesn't).

This book is written by a widow, for widowed people trying to navigate the darkness of losing a husband or wife. Many say that grieving the loss of your spouse takes time, but in truth, time, in and of itself, does not heal. What does heal is:

• Understanding that moving forward is not the same as "moving on."
• Realizing that there is no requirement to leave your spouse in the past.
• Knowing that you don't have to "get over it" but you can incorporate your loss.
• Learning how to carry your grief so that it isn't a burden.
• Finding your way forward in a way that honors your late spouse.

Life, Reconstructed is your guide to healing your life after loss. It applies the cutting-edge tools and techniques of life coaching to the uniquely difficult journey of the widowed. It's delivered with depth and compassion from someone who has experienced your struggle firsthand.

There is hope. There is a way to heal and hold on to your love. There is a next version of you -- a person you can become not in spite of your loss, but because of it.

Life, Reconstructed reveals the way, on your terms and on your timeline.

"Who better to coach another widow than a widow herself? This book is a MUST-READ MUST-DO guide for building a new life...moving forward without your spouse. Masterfully written and superbly relevant." -Kathleen M Townsend, RN, C, widowed 1 year

"Life, Reconstructed has shed a brilliant light on the path Teresa has so expertly navigated." -Roger Landry, MD MPH
