Summary

Imagine a woman who's part Mae West, part Dear Abby, with a scoop of Glenda, and a large dollop of Kali energy, who tells it like Janis Joplin might. Cal Garrison is that woman, a professional witch and astrologer, who in her first book, The Old Girls' Book of Spells, invited women of a certain age to use her spells to enliven their love lives, find their car keys, and prevail at work and at home.In this sequel, Garrison invites these same women to take a few minutes a day throughout the year to conjure their own dreams and magic. In the Introduction she teaches women to put their minds on the shelf and get into their hearts, to discover their true desire and write it down. Organized by the signs of the zodiac, beginning with Capricorn and ending with Sagittarius, The Old Girls' Book of Dreams offers tidbits of wisdom, relevant stories from the author's life, and ideas about what kind of magic and energy to look for in each month. When is it time to plant the seeds? And when is it time to reap the fruit?Garrison offers twelve essays, well stories, well pages of hard-won knowledge and homespun advice. Each of these is followed by 12 blank pages.

    You've met the Italian mobin The Godfather, now welcometo the real-life world of IrishAmerica's own murderous clanof organized crime The man who has remained silent for more than a decade finally speaks, revealing the gritty true story of his life inside the infamous South Boston Irish mob led by the elusive, Machiavellian kingpin Whitey Bulger, who to this day remains on the lam as one of the world's Ten Most Wanted criminals, second only to Osama bin Laden.John "Red" Shea was a top lieutenant in the South Boston Irish mob, rising to this position at the age of twenty-one. Thus began his tutelage under the notorious Irish godfather James "Whitey" Bulger. An ice-cold enforcer with a legendary red-hot temper, Shea was a legend among his Southie peers in the 1980s. From the first delivery truck he robbed at thirteen to the start of his twelve-year federal sentence for drug trafficking at twenty-seven, Shea was a portrait in American crime -- a terror, brutal and ruthlessly ambitious. Drug dealer, loan shark, money launderer, and multimillion-dollar narcotics kingpin, Shea was at the pinnacle of power -- until the feds came knocking and eventually obliterated the legendary mob in a well-orchestrated sweep of arrests, fueled by insider tips to the FBI and DEA. While Bulger's other top men turned informant to save their own hides, Shea alone kept his code of honor and his mouth shut -- loyalty that earned him a dozen years of hard time even as the man he was protecting turned out to be, himself, a rat. For in the end, in a remarkable show of betrayal, Bulger turned out to be the FBI's "main man" and top informant -- tipping off the feds for decades while still managing to operate one of the most murderous and profitable organized crime outfits of all time.In Rat Bastards, Shea brings that mysterious world and gritty urban Irish American street culture into sharp focus by telling his own story -- of his fatherless upbringing, his apprenticeship on the tough streets of Southie, and his love affair with trouble, boxing, and then the gangster life. In prose that is refreshingly honest, personal, and surprisingly tender, Shea tells his harrowing, unflinching, and unapologetic story. A man who did the crime, did the time, and held fast to the Irish code of silence, which he was raised to follow at any cost, Shea remains a man of honor and in doing so has become a living legend. One of the last of a dying breed, a true stand-up guy.Shea expects no forgiveness and makes no excuses for the life he chose. His story is intense, compelling, and in your face.

    From a New York Times–bestselling author, a recovery book for twelve-steppers, or anyone interested in finding inner peace after overcoming addiction. 
     
    What will it take for us to stop living dreary lives? What will it take for us to fill the deep ache and longing we all have for that elusive “something more”? In a courageous departure from the traditional twelve step views of spirituality, Lynn takes our hungry souls on a life-changing journey to the kingdom within, laying out a path of startling new concepts to reconnect us with our own divinity. 
     
    For years, Lynn Grabhorn was a passionate student of thought and our divine relation to Self. Raised in Short Hills, New Jersey, she moved to California in 1963, the same year she joined A.A. 
     
    In her own words: “Our inner beings are crying out for us to remember who and what we really are, because the call is out-big time-for us to wake up. All it takes is a deep desire, and anyone can make this journey with ease.” 
     
    “Grabhorn shows us how to access that inner source of energy to create the reality we want in our lives. This is a great book for those serious about their spiritual growth and ready for the next steps into mastery.” —Convergence magazine 
     
    “Truly, this is an important new book which stands out from the plethora of recovery literature. Acknowledging the debt she owes to Alcoholics Anonymous, the author encourages the reader to move beyond self-imposed limitations.” —Small Press magazine

    You wonder why a lot of people engage who engage in Dieting tend to lose weight temporarily. That’s is because Dieting is a temporary solution to losing weight. When you Diet for some time, the moment you get the desired result, you tend to quit Dieting to go back to your usual eating habits, and then the weight comes right back up. 
    Diets have short-term goals, the moment the plan (which is you losing weight) is reached, the dieting stops. 
    But have you ever considered making it a lifestyle as well? 
    Unlike Diets, Lifestyles are usually more permanent because it encompasses the way you live your life, the kinds of food you eat, how frequently you exercise, your vegetable intake and so on. 
    So, therefore, when people make changes to their lifestyles, it is usually for a permanent purpose; they do it because they want to continue to live in that manner, not because they have a goal to achieve at a set date or period. 
    Losing weight involves more than just being on a diet and engaging in exercises frequently; it is more about your lifestyle. 
    However, this book would guide you on losing weight the right way by making it your lifestyle.
