"Maggie is terminal. But she isn't terminal all the time. Her death comes as tearful minutes, painful hours, or bad days, but her life in between is all vital and full of hope." Many books have been written about grief and the grieving process. This is a particularly honest one. It is a memoir about the death of the author's best friend, in Italy, written over a three month period in 1984. "Because her cancer was so relentless," Anita Harmon writes, "I kept notes to clear my head. I wanted to be as fully present with her as I could - as true to as our friendship as I could be, unencumbered by my own horrified reactions. I hope that no one today has to go through what Maggie went through. I hope pain management is more effective than it was 40 years ago. Because this was not a good death. The only dignity there was came from Maggie herself." Because she thought her journal would remain private, Harmon is very frank about her reactions. "At the time I wrote these pages it didn't occur to me that they might be helpful to other people faced with a similar situation. People who, in their turn, may be ashamed of their own response to unbearable loss." Over the years, she shared the manuscript with friends. Inspired by her honesty, by the vivid portraits of Maggie's Italian family, by the humor and love that emerged in the face of loss, they urged her to share Maggie's story more widely. This book is the result. Anita Harmon is a British born artist, poet and former therapist. She has worked in private practice and as a consultant to organizations in business and government in the UK and US.

For decades, I was stuck in emotional cycles of anger, fear, sadness, control, and manipulation. I felt down and defeated and was not aware of God's unconditional love for me. There was a blockage in my chest that I couldn't get past. My heart was numb. I felt mostly anger and fear. Joy didn't come as often or as easily. I wanted to change but didn't know where to begin.My self-worth was determined by the moods, words, and actions of those around me. I was both filled with rage and afraid of not being approved of.I'd been raised in church but didn't know that religion is different than a relationship with My Creator. I thought God was angry and waiting to punish me at the slightest misstep. Because of the emotional abuse I'd endured, I'd developed untrue beliefs about myself. I felt unworthy, rejected, disapproved of, and ashamed.Once I started telling my truth and taking responsibility for my thoughts and feelings, I began to process what had taken place in my life that led me here. Told with humor, honesty, and encouragement, you'll read my stories of success and failure along with the practical mindsets and spiritual measures I discovered on my path to inner peace.This book is for those who want to find freedom from pain, anger, and emotional hell, those who want to feel peace in their hearts, but don't know where to begin. You're not alone.This is the story about how I got in touch with my heart and my God who lives there.It's the extension of my hand to a brother or sister, saying, "I'll walk back into my hell to help you get free from yours." For God's glory and your freedom in Christ Jesus, may you know the peace only He can give.
The Ballad of Breath "On a cool spring day/A gal and a lad/Met to cast 'way/Myths for a ballad" Guided by one gal, "Part I: The Meeting" begins with one lad's journey of experiencing the meaning of breath in the context of water. Sensory signals widen the eyes, drum the heart, raise the hairs, and breeze the lungs "All while phalanges/Attached to our feet/Displace barely an inch/Of crystal-clear liquid." Entering "The Great Nose Versus Mouth Bubble Bout Debate," Part II introduces "the only unnatural thing... surrounded by water" - "to always exhale out nostrils meant normally to inhale." Part III practices "first breaths and steps," leaning in on the benefits (and necessity) of hum breathing. Deepening the habit building purpose of the hum, Part IV contrasts a change in body position from vertical to horizontal. And, before this lad meets the Brothers Bob, "A Buoyant Belly Breath" in Part V connects the depth of breath with the changing nature of balancing a body in water. Ultimately, in Part VI, the 4 Brothers aim "to birth a belief in buoyancy you can count on!" The final words end where our gal began, swaying an audience to develop an automatic habit -to "breathe above and hum below" - the foundation and counter balance to easing emotions with water.

I will quote previous and recent authors of historical books and events including recent archaeological finding. In addition, I will present ancient writings and symbols on stones and old artifacts. It is a known fact that many Albanians, western scholars and historians have written about the mountain.There is strong archaeological evidence that leads to the conclusion that this area was the city of the sun or the star. It is known that the name Ilion or in Latin Ilium, is called Troy. According to historian Arthur B. Cook: "Zeus is called the god of heaven, the god of light. But he is also identified with the Sun.
