This is Barbara's first published book. She has a BS and MS in education and almost 30 years of elementary school teaching in Connecticut, Morocco, Iran, but mostly in Texas.When Barbara was teaching, her students were recognized in the next grade. The teachers could always spot which students came from her because of their handwriting. Some people say cursive writing is becoming a lost art, but Barbara doesn't think so. If it is a lost art, Barbara wants to revive it in her own little way. Cursive writing is so much more intellectual and romantic.Because of student testing cursive writing is put on the back burner. Barbara doesn't want this love to die because there is no time for it and because technology has taken over. We must make time for it. There is a place for cursive writing in our culture.This program can be used in elementary through high school. It can be used in home schooling, by parents helping their children in writing, by tutors and small groups. This simple technique can be easily adapted for teens and adults. It is easy enough for some older students to teach themselves.The San Antonio Express News on Monday, February 27, 2017 had an article on the editorial page written by Katrina Erickson entitled "Cursive Plays Vital Role In Success". It was written primarily for Texas schools. She gives many reasons why cursive writing should be in the curriculum of every school district because it brings success to students in many ways. Maybe Barbara is on to something.The Walding family consists of Barbara, her husband Dan, four children and seven grandchildren. We all live outside of San Antonio, Texas

The House of Cheltenham is a fictional story showing how technology can lead us where we should not go. The story begins with author Mike having writer's block. His literary agent is pressuring him to finish his next book. Mike, along with his wife, Pam, decide to move from the big city to an old country house in eastern Indiana. There Mike hopes to find inspiration to continue his writing. Little did they know that many years earlier it served as a research laboratory for a doctor dying from cancer. They were totally unaware of the secret laboratory hidden below the house. Fifty years earlier Dr. Cheltenham was determined to find a way to continue his life. He invented a way to preserve his body and mind in a state of animation hoping for a cure in the future. Things get complicated when it becomes necessary for him to temporarily borrow a younger man's body in order to survive. Our story spans more than 100 years from the time the doctor starts his experiments. Soon the world is clamoring for Dr. Cheltenham's life-prolonging procedures. It seems there is no more reason for anyone to die, ever. But, at what cost.David Edsall was born October 1939. In his younger days, he enjoyed flying airplanes, boating, snow skiing, scuba diving and working at his various businesses. Edsall received his pilot's license in 1965. In 1983, he built a second residence along the Cumberland River, 275 miles from his home in Indianapolis. From there he took many river- trip adventures by boats he owned. His fi rst attempt at retiring was in 1995 at the age of fifty-five. He and his wife bought a 50-foot motor yacht in Detroit, Michigan. Departing in early spring, they travelled through the Great Lakes, the Erie Canal, through Canada on the St. Lawrence Seaway, back down into the US, down the length of Lake Michigan and through the city of Chicago, continuing down the Mississippi River to New Orleans and then across the Gulf of Mexico to end up in their new boat retirement home in Fort Myers, Florida. They arrived in late November of that year. Boredom caught up with Edsall in 1998, and he started a family business with his son, Steven. He is still active in that business at the age of 84.

When we blame or shame someone else, we are visiting the shadow realm. Shirking responsibility gives our power to the other and makes us the Victim archetype. If we make excuses about the situation there is probably a secondary gain; the Prostitute archetype. The Child archetype is at play always and needs our attention. To avoid the Saboteur archetype, we can take responsibility, because we are aware of our part in the situation.This book acknowledges us as co-creators with the Divine and as such we begin to think with our Mind (hindsight); our Gut (I-sight); and Heart (Insight) toward being self-realized and with practise, what Abraham Maslow describes as Self-Actualized. Rorschach invented a method to get in touch with our subconscious so we can examine where that idea was created. Enjoy the journey, it is well worth the effort!

Life is a journey we take with different paths for each of us to travel. Some may discover their own little Camelot and sail through life without a hitch. Others find bumps and bruises around every bend. It's the shoes we're wearing in the midst of hard times that map our personal journey. We can choose to drown in safe pity or we can put on our best hiking boots and go forward knowing there is purpose in everything including cancer. Life and perseverance go hand in hand. If we keep our goal in sight, if we kick one pair of worn shoes off and slip into a new and better pair, if we learn to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start over as we go through pain and disappointment, we are destined to find a perfect fit.¿Born in a small town in Texas.
