Feisty Women Helping Feisty Women derives from my ongoing conversations with many women who have stopped by my table at fairs and festivals and revealed their stories because my first two books gave them good laughs and a voice. These feisty women come from varied walks of life and areas of the country, but they share similar experiences. They and their friends and colleagues have had to summon all their ingenuity and compassion in finding ways to cope with an ultimately move on from the "Mr. Wonderful" in their life. You know the feeling. You may have been expecting that dreaded call---and here it is. When you take the call, you may hear silence, crying, sighing. What to do next? Open this book and starting reading!With humor and not too much snark, this book shows that helping a friend move on with their life after a breakup can feel as rewarding for you as it does for her. These strategies provide yet another testament to the feistiness and strength off all women.

A sexy salesman who drives the state of Florida strives to learn the cause of his frequent panic attacks whenever he crosses bridges. Discovering he's the mortal embodiment of a mythical figure was the last thing he expected. Now, crossing stranded souls across bridges is his new vocation. Hardly what he signed up for, but neither was falling in love with a 900-year-old Japanese-Jewish trans girlfriend or drinking in Key West with the arrogant spirit of Ernest Hemingway. These days, one can't be picky about employment. Death - it's a living.

Have you ever wondered if that bird sitting outside your window, for five consecutive days since your Mother passed - is not really a coincidence; or a song that keeps playing on the radio - isn't that benign after all; or that dream you had last night, when you truly felt your dog had licked your face - wasn't such an irrational thought? Well, if you have ever thought that somebody you loved might be trying to communicate to you - you are not alone. "Love Crosses Over", is a collection of twelve short stories that explore the theme of communication from the deceased, both people and pets. They are deeply heartfelt and each one has a poem, which builds upon the story, like pairing a fine wine with a wonderful meal. The stories embrace the rich task of inviting the reader to contemplate their own pet loss experiences as more than just coincidence. And in doing so, prompting the reader to trust their own intuitive powers, and tap into signs of life beyond the five senses - particularly during a time of loss.

A delightful and captivating love story told through the eyes of one disarming Chihuahua and his devoted and slightly neurotic person, who despite the unexpected loss of his brother, promises to dedicate her summer to his care. Manifesting Mongrel is an introspective look at the deep bonds we form with our pets, written with a genuine candor and sprinkled with some absurdly funny and enlightening moments, during one long hot summer in a Chihuahua-riddled, inner-city neighborhood. More than just another charming story about animals, Manifesting Mongrel also takes us inside the unique world of helping pet parents deal and cope with the unique loss of a pet, as the author counsels pet parents on animal hospice, pet euthanasia, planning the last day and ultimately the art of letting go. Insightful and heart-warming, the author embraces her own unique loss through her rewarding work which tips the scales in the favor of acquiring another pet. Emotional and spiritual, quirky and moving - this beautifully crafted story will take the reader on a journey deep into the unconditional heart of love.

An animal-induced joy ride into one woman's search for peace and self-love, interwoven with contentment and longing, written with a genuine candor and a humorous edge. Once the parent of small dogs, the writer finds herself up-graded into the unknown territory of pit bulls and eviction notices due to her current big-dog-addiction. Cast out of the city and into the country she embraces what she fails to comprehend yet, as her first and last little dog Juno gets ready to say goodbye. Written with lyrical grace, spiritual searching and emotional stamina, we are pulled into her world never wanting to leave, unless of course, Liam Neeson comes on the scene. Then, all bets are off

How do you like your steak? Rare? Medium well? Related? In the year 2031, meat is what's for dinner and just about every other meal. After the Agricultural Meltdown of 2018 destroyed 90% of earth's farmed produce and rendered most of what remained toxic, vegetables were outlawed. Attempting to grow carrots is now illegal. Eating salad is a misdemeanor. Serving it will get you jail time. While most of the human population adapted to a meat diet, it was hard on vegetarians. And for the animals, it was murder. Methodical mass murder. Factory farming escalated to inconceivable levels of cruelty, making the earlier holocaustic mistreatment of animals look like a walk in the park. Extreme inhumanity is rewarded. Animal Rights groups no longer exist. No one steps forward to represent the animals or increase awareness of the torture and carnage. Not if they want to live. Not until now. And livestock isn't the only game in town. If the family dog strays too far from home, it's up for grabs. After realizing centuries of heart attacks and even deadly bacteria can't thwart man from his lust for flesh, the animal kingdom will force man's hand with one last unimaginable strategy-the one thing certain to stop all people from eating animals. What would it take for you to give up meat? It takes a Pigg. Ima Pigg.

Due to the inability of the FDA to make the holy trinity of caffeine, the internet and an expansive heart an illegal combo, dog rescuer extraordinaire Lizzy Dolittle steps back out into the world of high-kill shelters and canine contraband. Third in a series of books about her life with animals, the author finds herself doing what she has absolutely no business doing - acquiring yet another dog. And just when it looks like everything is going to work out, one second of carelessness changes the course of their lives forever. She experiences through the loss of her beloved Skye, the acceptance of Momma Gaia and the welcoming of newcomer JJ that nothing stays the same, and that wisdom lies in letting go of what she thought life would look like and instead learning to love what is.

Get your whole organization selling, using social media to farm your current customers and hunt for new ones. Today, more than ever, you need your entire organization to be part of the sales process.

LARGE PRINT EDITION (Regular print & Kindle also available) In recent years, millions of Americans, who previously held secure positions throughout the workplace, have been struggling with job loss, underemployment in a changing and uncertain economy. The restoration of jobs has been painfully slow; in fact, there are indicators that up to 40% of the full-time jobs that have been lost may never return. Elizabeth Allen, author and nationally-known business consultant, responded to this nation-wide emergency by adapting her cutting edge sales and marketing methodology - CODE for Sales - for use by individual Free Agents. CODE is an acronym for Communicate-Organize-Document-Evaluate. "I was asked to present CODE to a large group of unemployed people," Allen said. "Looking out at the faces of so many highly skilled career employees, I realized that what they really needed was to be empowered. At this time, the millions who are unemployed represent the largest uninvested asset in the nation, but due to fierce competition and a changing economy, they have limited options. What people need are tools to help them re-engage and to capitalize on their value." The CODE system offers individuals an actual method to leverage their wealth of knowledge, know-how and unique skill set. "I adapted CODE as a process that anyone can apply," Allen writes, "as a way for people to take charge of their careers. CODE is designed to help individuals define their core competencies as well as their passions. Whether people choose traditional employment, contract work, self employment or any combination of these, people need to learn how to effectively sell their assets. Traditional approaches such as attending job fairs and sending out resumes on-line for positions posted on internet job boards have a very low success rate." The Economy of One begins with an explanation of how to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset and moves to the step-by-step sales method to follow so that Free Agent marketing efforts can result with greater success. Throughout the book, readers learn the inspiring stories of actual Free Agents, told in their own words. These people explain how the CODE concepts and tools changed their perspective of a very difficult situation. Changes in thinking led to changes in action, as participant after participant each became an Economy of One. For some, this was landing a dream job, for others starting a new business or finding a contract opportunity that provided a needed transition. What will you learn? -A step-by-step process that will help you effectively identify and explore your options. Looking for full-time employment is just one of many paths available to you. -Strategic self-promotion, communication and networking skills. You will learn how to engage a straightforward methodology designed to take the guesswork out of the self-promotion "sales" process. -Recapture confidence. You will learn 8 critical sets of questions that are deigned to empower you. -Insight into the strategic mindset of those doing the hiring. Understand how employer priorities align with yours before you interview. -Re-connect to passion, proficiency, and profitability. We will help you identify options that are best suited for your natural abilities and interests. -Monitor progress. You will learn how to approach every networking event, job fair or interview with a focused plan. -Achieve transparency. Communicate to others your progress so that the question of "what's your plan?" And "what have you been up to?" is easy to address. -Go way beyond writing a resume and applying endlessly for every job you see, competing with thousands of others for a job that may not even exist. Instead, engage the market from a very different, targeted approach, utilizing your "personal brand" to get in front of decision-makers. -Find support. This program is designed to re-energize you and jump-start your efforts, helping you more effectively engage immediately.

Who Do Deacons Need to Be?What Do Deacons Need to Know?What Do Deacons Need to Do?These three questions form the basis for Exemplars: Deacons as Servant and Spiritual Leaders. They are designed to encourage robust conversation within diaconates as well as between deacons, clergy, and other laity. All of us grow spiritually as we listen and speak to one another with open minds and loving hearts. For deacons to reach their full potential as spiritual leaders, thoughtful and prayerful conversation must happen.This workbook was born from years of pastoral experience and a growing conviction that congregational renewal must include lay renewal. Nearly every Baptist church has a diaconate, so it seems reasonable that if lay renewal is to happen, it must include deacon renewal.Exemplars can be helpful as a study guide for an individual deacon or in a small group or retreat setting where deacons study together, hold one another accountable, and offer support for one another as they seek to be exemplars of Christ and servants of Christ's church.Daniel Vestal is the director of the Eula Mae and John Baugh Center for Baptist Leadership and the Distinguished University Professor of Baptist Leadership at Mercer University. He has served as a pastor and in leadership with a number of denominational, ecumenical, and institutional organizations. From 1996 to 2012 he was executive coordinator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. He is the author of five books, including Being the Presence of Christ: A Vision for Transformation. Daniel and his wife, Earlene, live in Atlanta.Elizabeth (Libby) Allen served for 17 years with Admissions for McAfee School of Theology, Mercer University, and was ordained as a deacon in 1986.

Medieval felons could take sanctuary from prosecution in any church, but far from static refuge, sanctuary staged dynamic action, even violence.
