When it comes to picking the right career, shoes, or wine, we demand choices. So why is it that we don’t think twice about giving away the most precious gift a single woman has to give - monogamy, and all that it implies - to a man who has not yet shown himself to be deserving of it? If you’re putting the wants and needs of a man you hardly know before your own because you think or hope he’s “the one;” if dating has become an agony of second-guessing yourself and over-analyzing every text, phone call, and dinner conversation.

This book will explore what it means to be present at work and how your choices can help you create deeper engagement with your environment, others, and yourself. Through this content, you will understand your ability to intentionally create deeper presence in your life.

If you are like most people, you feel out of balance some of most of the time. And like most people, you are seeking a way to reduce stress, create joy, and have meaningful connection between the roles, relationships, and responsibilities in your life. Using mindful awareness, this reflective workbook introduces The Awareness Framework®, a tool to help you see your behavior and the impact it has on creating the type of work-life balance you desire. Short and direct, this book teaches the skill of awareness and how it applies to values, communication, stress, time, and boundaries.

I love nothing more than my job. As a local celebrity and businesswoman, I’ve worked my way up through the ranks to become the biggest news publisher in the area.

I’m a lesbian, and it has to stay a secret.

The reality is some days rock, some days are so-so, and some days really suck. For the days that really suck, there are questions to help make it suck less. Jae Ellard has spent the last decade working with people who feel stuck in some way, dealing with work-life balance struggles, stress overload, communication challenges, distraction, and disengagement.

Most stress can be traced to communication - or a lack of it and the conversations we are NOT having or are too scared to have about what we value, and our boundaries to uphold those values. Just like balance, stress means different things to different people. Jae Ellard has spent the last decade working with people who feel stress in some way. Jae wants to shift their relationship with stress, but they just don't know where to start. You will experience stress, that is just life. So why not become more mindful and proactive about how you manage stress when it comes around?

How do you know when you are out of balance? Jae Ellard believes that balance has nothing to do with gender, geography, income, education, or job type - you don't even need a job to feel out of balance! Rather it's about the conversation we have (or don't have) about how these issues impact life. Drawing on thousands of conversations over a decade, Jae takes listeners through five simple truths about work-life balance that can liberate any person seeking to create easy joy and meaningful engagement between the interconnected roles and responsibilities that make up life.

The Blackbird Battle has left all sides devastated. The wind spirit Suriel has disappeared. A hard winter is coming, and famine stalks the land. Kateiko Rin returns to her people, ready at last to rejoin her community, but the dangers of the unsettled times come raging to her doorstep. Kako is left with no choice but to battle the forces that seek to open a rift between the worlds. Leading an unlikely alliance that includes her new love Airedain and her old one Tiernan, Kako must risk all to try and stop the coming disaster.

Seventeen-year-old Kateiko doesn’t want to be Rin anymore - not if it means sacrificing lives to protect the dead. Her only way out is to join another tribe, a one-way trek through the coastal rainforest. Killing a colonial soldier in the woods isn’t part of the plan. Neither is spending the winter with Tiernan, an immigrant who keeps a sword with his carpentry tools. His log cabin leaks and his stories about other worlds raise more questions than they answer.

This book is to dispel and unmuddie the word divorce. This book is not about bashing my ex or your ex, but for us to unpack and share with the world that even though God doesn’t want us to get a divorce, it is NOT a SIN.
