Summary

In Junior High, I memorized the Sermon on the Mount.  I was bored in a church membership class  and wanted a challenge.  I had little concern for what the words meant.  That changed in the mid 1990’s after I had attended a number of intensive Buddhist retreats in the Vipassana tradition.  I was struck by the similarity between some of Jesus’s words in the Sermon on the Mount and the teachings of Buddha.   Thus began a project, now decades long, of attempting to integrate the two.  The result is this little book.

    “Dive into these gleeful glory stories about female friendships that reveal the secret ways in which we nourish one another.” —Vicki Leon, author of 4,000 Years of Uppity Women 
 
It’s a Chick Thing is a collection of forty spirited stories about the special and unique times that strengthen the bonds of women’s friendships and create shared history. It takes a look at women’s friendship at its wildest, adventurous best—the antics, the escapades, the risk taking, the loyalty, the irrepressible humor and merriment. 
 
Read about Dolly Parton’s escapades with her friends in high school, Fergie’s and Diana’s night on the town during Andrew’s bachelor party, how Sharon Stone literally gave Mimi Craven the shirt off her back, and the time when Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn faced down the Coal Miner’s Daughter’s detractors. Readers will delight in reading about Cirque du Chien, a group of party-loving chicks who dress up like French poodles and drink French champagne. Or La Bella Mafia, a girl gang dedicated to glorious divadom who right wrongs and overdress for every occasion. It’s a Chick Thing also includes chick resources such as “Shoo Fly Be Gone,” a list of verbal comebacks for getting rid of those pesky men who interrupt your girls’ nights out and “Chick Stars,” an astrological guide to finding your most compatible (and incompatible) friends. There are also handy chickcentric lists including “Chicks That Rock,” “Chick Reads,” “Chick Flicks,” and “Chick Cliques.” 
 
“Full of fun and female frolic. Read it with your best friend and then cut loose.” —Alicia Alvrez, author of The Ladies’ Room Reader 
 
“Depicts female friendship at its fìnest.” —Autumn Stephens, author of Wild Women

You'll find powerful skills to help you cope with the stress and intense emotions caused by body hatred, as well as strategies to help you nurture a deeper sense of self-worth.You'll learn to move past your physical body to focus on: identifying your values and your life's purpose; finding your voice and using it to set boundaries—with yourself and others; managing life stress in healthy ways; changing how you respond to toxic cultural messages about appearance; and cultivating an embodied presence in the moment. This workbook can help you make peace with your physical appearance and feel whole as a person.

    Heaven Here on Earth

    While attending catechism class as a child, Curt Melliger was taught that if he obeyed the rules all his life he would be allowed to enter a place called Heaven when he died. The priest and nuns described it as a sacred abode up in the clouds that contained all of the very best things in the universe. There was sunshine and blue sky, pretty flowers and double rainbows, peace and happiness, ringing bells and beautiful music, saints and angels and the all-enveloping love of God. The young boy's mind processed this information and came to the stunning conclusion: "Why, they're talking about Earth!" 
Since that early revelation Curt has been discovering other examples of paradise incarnate wherever he goes. This book is a collection of stories on subjects ranging from water, fire, and stars to adrenaline rushes, near-death experiences, and the place where goosebumps originate, from skiing powder and climbing high mountains and walking in reverse to the changing of seasons, the lessons of night, and the reason for dreams, from wild animals, unseen visitors, and beings that do not die to the magic of the human touch, beatific ecstasy, and what awaits us on the other side of the veil that only partially separates this golden realm from the perfect one. 
For the Ultimate is much closer than we have been led to believe. Indeed, it is readily available right here on this planet, this Garden of Eden, this one-of-a-kind oasis in space. 
Right now.
