If you're tired of constantly being in the pursuit of happiness, tired of the chase, tired of always needing the next perfect thing - then it's time to take back your power and learn to embody a sense of peace and ease that you can carry with you no matter what your life throws at you. For years, Angela Kittock was struggling with severe Crohn's disease, hopping from one uninspiring job to the next, and forever battling an endless to-do list. Life had become heavy, difficult, and not very fun - an all-too-familiar experience of adulthood, and a far cry from the magic of growing up and doing whatever we want that we envision as children. Until one perfectly mundane day when she had a life-altering realization - that she, too, deserved to feel peace and ease, right here and right now. Soon she discovered that, contrary to what we often believe, feeling better and finding joy aren't entirely dependent on our external circumstances. And it doesn't require enormous outer changes to make a huge difference in how we feel about our lives. Sometimes, the changes we need to make are subtler, more internal...with just as extraordinary results. This book will take you, the reader, on your own yearlong journey of inner transformation, as you reintegrate the soul and spirit back into your experience of life. You'll be guided to: rebalance the parts of yourself that honor both doing and being; realign with the seasonal cycles and discover your own rhythm of ebb and flow; and reconnect with an oft forgotten voice of wisdom - your intuition. Each monthly-themed chapter contains stories and teachings to offer inspiration and a deeper connection with the seasonal energy around us, coupled with playful and unique practices to transform the knowledge learned from the level of the mind into the deeper levels of the body, heart, soul and spirit. Soul Healing & Spirit Dancing is a journey inward to discover the most important lesson when it comes to finding the balance, peace and joy that is your birthright: that sometimes it's not about changing your life, sometimes it's about changing the way you experience your life.

"The Christmas Books of Mr. M.A. Titmarsh" is a collection of five Christmas-themed stories written by the British author William Makepeace Thackeray, who is best known for his satirical novels such as "Vanity Fair." The pseudonym "Mr. M.A. Titmarsh" was used by Thackeray for his lighter and more humorous works. These stories were published in various periodicals during the 1830s and 1840s and have been compiled into a single volume. The five Christmas stories included in this collection are: "Mrs. Perkins's Ball" (1847): This is a humorous tale set at a Christmas ball, focusing on the characters and social interactions during the event. Thackeray's wit and keen observations of human behavior are on full display in this story. "Our Street" (1848): In this story, the narrator takes readers on a tour of a London street during Christmastime, describing the various characters and their preparations for the holiday season. It's a charming and nostalgic exploration of Victorian Christmas traditions. "Doctor Birch and His Young Friends" (1848): This story is a continuation of Thackeray's earlier novel "The Book of Snobs." It features Dr. Birch, a headmaster, and a group of young students, and it satirizes the manners and pretensions of the upper classes. "The Kickleburys on the Rhine" (1850): This story follows the travel adventures of the Kicklebury family as they tour the Rhine River during the Christmas season. Thackeray uses the journey as an opportunity for humorous social commentary. "The Rose and the Ring" (1855): While not a Christmas story in the traditional sense, this fairy tale is included in the collection. It tells the story of a magical ring and the comical events that unfold when it comes into the possession of two young princes. The story is a delightful and imaginative departure from Thackeray's usual style. These stories offer a mix of humor, satire, and social commentary, reflecting the wit and storytelling skills for which Thackeray is known. While they may not be as famous as his major novels, "The Christmas Books of Mr. M.A. Titmarsh" provides readers with a glimpse into Thackeray's lighter, more festive side as he explores the holiday season and the quirks of human nature. The collection is a delightful addition to Victorian literature and remains a cherished part of Thackeray's literary legacy.
