Choices in Life. Visions float in and out of our consciousness, reminding us of past experiences and future desires. Each has its emotional value, a price tag exacted from our being. Some bring soothing thoughts to relax our tense muscles, others promote anxiety or simply unpleasantness. No matter which forms it takes, we have a choice of our reaction-sad, happy, upset, angry. Frustration can give way to serenity. Find the positive, which is ever-present, and choose to see it as it is meant.

"An accessible, engaging and educational journey through the history, liturgy and theology of the seven Sacraments"--

Richard Betts, in his graceful and deeply movingsecond collection, continues his thoughtful and philosophical approach topoetry. This book represents aneloquent outpouring of 56 new poems that are much more personal andintrospective than his previous writings. It is a testament that invites readers to share his vision ofexperiences we all have in common: strength and weakness, joy and sorrow, desire and disdain, faith andskepticism, tenderness and tenacity and life and our own mortality.Much like his first book, Betts's poems areconstantly on the attack, and his subjects are as various as hisviewpoints. "Vision" focuses on theheartbreak of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), "Omnipotence" and "Crumble"investigate the question of suffering versus faith, "Correct?" looks at thedangers of political correctness and "Disbelief" focuses on the numerousquestions one asks following the tragic death of a loved one. Betts avoids slowing his poems down withindecipherable symbolism, opting instead for works that, with his carefullychosen words, are fast paced and powerful.

So let's begin with a quick question. Have you ever had the experience where someone or something really made you mad? If you answered, "Yes" then you, like I, have been the victim of the "Big Lie." One of the biggest 'lies' perpetuated by and in our society is that our emotions, be they anger, anxiety, or guilt, etc., are all created by external events. Our world seems to SHOUT that you and I are NOT responsible for our emotional upsets, rather our unhappiness is the world's fault and we are merely victims. After all wasn't it the 'jerk' that just cut you off while driving that made you furious? Or, isn't it that noise that you just heard coming from that darken alley that is terrifying you? While this may all seem to make sense, the truth is that it is not the world or some person or set of circumstances that make you or me an emotional wreck. That responsibility, as well as that power, rests within us. The straightforward truth, one that serves as the core to the proposed book, is that our emotional reactions are a function, not of the events we are encountering, but instead they are the result of the way we THINK about those events. Simply put, if you think "crazy" you will act and feel crazy and it will undermine your emotional well-being. Defeating Your "Crazies" is a self-help book, reflecting extensive research, that helps the reader come to understand and embrace the fact that it is not external events nor situations that directly cause our emotional reactions but rather the way we process them. Defeating Your "Crazies" provides the reader with both the rationale and the steps to be taken in order to develop a more rational functional view of self, others and the world and as a result, develop and maintain an emotionally healthy life.

Alice remains sane, through all this, whlle retaining her naivete' (also known as gullibility) and we follow her (respectably, not stalking) through her adventures after she wished one progressive wish too many... Excerpt: "Oh dear!" cried Alice impatiently, as she sat rocking in her chair, listening to the pattering of the rain upon the roof of the veranda. "I do wish there was something to do, or somebody to do, or somewhere to go. The Gov'ment ought to provide covered playgrounds for children on wet days. It wouldn't cost much, to put a glass cover on the Park!" "A very good, idea! I'll make a note of that," said a squeaky little voice at her side...
