Sinossi

In "True Politeness: A Hand-book of Etiquette for Ladies," the anonymous author offers a comprehensive guide to the subtleties of social conduct and decorum designed specifically for women in the 19th century. Emphasizing the interplay between social class and behavior, the book meticulously outlines the expectations of femininity and propriety prevalent in Victorian society. Richly didactic in tone and adorned with practical examples, the text addresses everything from communication to dress, reflecting a literary style that is both instructive and reflective of the broader social norms of its time. The work serves as both a manual and a commentary on the implications of etiquette in reinforcing societal hierarchies and individual identity in a rapidly changing world. The author's anonymity not only invites speculation regarding their identity but also signifies a broader cultural phenomenon where many female voices remained unacknowledged. This subtle evasion of personal authorship allows the text to resonate more universally with its intended audience, many of whom would have been navigating the complexities of their roles as women in an increasingly modern society. It reveals a keen awareness of the challenges faced by women in asserting their status and dignity. "True Politeness" is an essential read for those interested in the evolution of social customs and gender roles. Its insights into the intricate dance of etiquette not only elucidate the norms of the past but also provide valuable lessons for contemporary readers seeking to understand the enduring significance of civility in social interactions. This book is an indispensable resource for history enthusiasts, cultural scholars, and anyone interested in the nuances of social engagement.

    A book of hope, of discovery, of love. 
    We all want connection; we all want to feel love. 
    In a desperation to find my ideal version of love, or what I thought it ‘should’ look like, I lost myself for a while there. 
    I became addicted to anxiety; this was my way out. My safety net! Sounds crazy, but true. After quite a journey I started to understand what I was doing, looking for a perfect love in all the wrong places! Discoveries surfacing through writing and meditation. A new mindful way of living, things started to become a little clearer. My days became a little less fearful and my life a little brighter. My faith and connection with love restored. I share with you in this book, what helped me, the magic of feeling love and understanding, that this won’t or can’t look the same to us all. Showing up everyday and trusting what you know holds so much value. 
    Don’t try and change who you are, try and find who you are instead. 
    When anxiety became present with my youngest daughter, I knew I needed to find the tools for her and also myself to be able to deal with our anxiety and create a safe space for us both and not let the anxiety rule our daily lives. 
    We began doing breathing techniques, including the 4-7-8 breathing method, which is one we really enjoy together, you will find this technique in the book and so much more. I hope you enjoy reading it and if you do, please let me know whet you think. 
    There are so many ways to work with me, check out the back of the book or visit my website 'ROOM 478'

    It’s a trauma like no other. 
    Being perceived as a threat or, worse, hunted as food makes an animal attack a unique ordeal. Suddenly you’re helpless, at its mercy. When an animal strikes it is lightning fast, determined and can’t be reasoned with. Often brutally violent, such an attack can leave horrific injuries, both physical and emotional that endure long after the encounter. 
    Whether it’s a great white shark, a bear, lion, or other deadly predator, the impact such attacks can have on the victim, their families, the communities, and the wider human psyche is often profound and enduring. And when you add the media attention that such incidents often attract, the actual bite might not be the only attack a survivor has to endure. 
    In Bite Club, we meet brave people from around the world who have come face to face with sharks or other deadly predators and lived to tell the tale. And we learn of the group of survivors who are supporting each other to navigate, recover and grow from what is for many, their most traumatic experience ever.
