A literary anthology. A literary flight of fancy, a collection of stories as convoluted as the mind of the author who wrote them. Vivid, descriptive writing with twists and turns that will leave the reader wanting more. A cornucopia of prose coupled with speed of light delivery. A full-throttled bullet ride through imagination and beyond. This... is the Potion Peddler's Almanac by Colin R. James.
In the U.S. today, over 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's Disease or related dementia. Each of these individuals has a story. And each one has caregivers, with stories of their own. You have questions - so many questions about what is happening now, and what is to come. How do I cope with this new manifestation of the disease? How do I prepare for an uncertain future? This is especially true when just navigating your way through each day can be overwhelming. Contained within these pages are answers to some of your questions as well as strategies for your future. In navigating this journey, it is important to remember two essential truths. The first is that the body may fail, and the mind may wander, but the spirit - the person inside - remains intact. The caregiver's role is to maximize the remaining strengths of the person they care for. The second is that you are not alone. Caregiving is often an isolating experience. Stories from the lives of others let us know that our experiences are not unique. Be assured that many have gone before, and others are walking the same road today. This is "I Know You by Heart: Navigating the Dementia Journey"

A #1 Amazon Best Seller in Zen Buddhism! -- The idea is simple: everyday items and situations as sources of Zen insight. From a junk drawer to a butterfly. From Ginger Rogers to Colonel Mustard. We're surrounded by items and situations which teach Zen-if we just take the time to see. Zen is a perfect antidote to the noise and untruths of daily life. Yet for many people, Zen is something that requires rigorous study, years of solitary meditation, dressing in odd garb, and quoting Buddha. Nothing could be further from the truth. Everyday life is Zen. You are the only real Zen master you'll ever need. You just need to look, see and reality will take care of the rest. Zen is everywhere and Zen is everyone-even the greeter at Walmart. In this book, everyday items and occurrences combine with impressionistic takes on classic Zen stories to "point at the moon" -- to help you garner a bit more insight into your Zen. From the co-author of the well-received "Life Between the Tigers", which the Midwest Book Review said should be on every Buddhist's bookshelf, and the forthcoming "The Girl by the Side of the Road", "Buddha is a Greeter at Walmart" is the Zen book you've been looking for.
"With contributions and inspiration from Gina L. Even" -- t.p.
