Synopsis

A thoughtful, meditative guide to the ways creative textile art can soothe and comfort us during challenging times.
Renowned British textile artists Cas Holmes and Deena Beverley, each well known for their richly textured, deeply evocative work in stitch, collaborate for the first time in this important and timely book. Beautifully illustrated with a wealth of work from both artists along with other embroiderers and textile artists from around the world, Soulful Stitch documents a wide range of stitched responses to crisis, both personal and global. With invaluable advice on how to develop your own work in times of trouble, it explores:
• How the restrictions and trials of everyday life can inform your textile work, enabling you to develop imaginative new approaches.
• The healing power of stitch to soothe and console, with the simple act of putting needle into fabric providing a mindful route to inner calm.
• Practical ways to continue with your textile art practice in the face of seismic life changes, finding creative opportunity in difficult situations.
• How to use found objects, repurposed threads and personal items to create deep emotional resonance in your own work.
Both authors have recent lived experience of having to navigate new paths through big life challenges, making this book particularly heartfelt. It truly demonstrates how even in the toughest times, creativity in textile art can keep you afloat.

    Stella: Ranch Patrol is a new Dogs with a Purpose adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Dog's Purpose, W. Bruce Cameron! 
     
    Some dogs were born to lend a helping hand (or paw!) 
     
    Stella, a corgi puppy, is one of them. With her natural herding instincts and big attitude, Mateo thinks she'll be the perfect new addition to his family's ranch! 
     
    But Mateo's family isn't convinced. They wanted a big, tough livestock guardian dog, not this tiny creature! She's more likely to become lunch for the coyotes than to help run the ranch. And it doesn't matter anyway; Mateo's father, Werner, has decided to sell the ranch. 
     
    To save their home, Stella and Mateo must prove that even the smallest and youngest members of a family can make the biggest difference. Can they rise to the challenge? 
     
    Stella: Ranch Patrol is another fun, heartwarming Dogs with a Purpose adventure that will introduce young readers to the hard work of herding dogs.

    It’s the biggest conundrum of language learning: 
    How can you become an amazing Italian speaker when you’re short on time? It’s easy: 5 Minute Italian short stories for beginners, that is. Let’s face it: We all have limited free time. So, how can you study Italian when you have only small shards of time available? Look no further: If you’re short on time, 5 Minute Italian short stories for Beginners will help you make the most of it. 
    The Benefits of 5 Minute Italian Short Stories for Beginners 
    Since short stories are, by nature, short, you can use them to squeeze a lot of Italian learning into a relatively small span of time. 
    Reading short stories is a great way to get quick, informal doses of Italian language practice. 
    Easy short stories in Italian offer exposure to simple, natural sentence structure. 
    How to Learn Italian with Easy Short Stories 
    Since these stories are often pretty straightforward, you’ll need a simple plan for learning effectively with them. To get the most out of your short story, I suggest this three-step approach: 
    Read the story for the gist, not the details. Focus on trying to understand the main ideas of the story: the characters, the major plot developments and the setting. 
    Read it again, but this time, do a careful read. Highlight or underline unknown words, phrases or grammatical constructions that are unfamiliar to you. Once you finish this read, translate all the unfamiliar words and phrases and write them down in a notebook or on flashcards to help you remember them later. 
    Use the translations to read the story one final time. This allows you to understand the text fully and have quick access to the translations and explanations.

    We are in the era of the Pauls. Love them or hate them, you can't ignore them. Welcome to our Universe. 
    I’ve never personally said the words “F*** the Pauls”... but plenty of people have. My sons have spun this mantra into multimillion dollar empires. To me, it captures the wild and often chaotic era we live in, and how my sons turned some of their biggest losses into their most legendary wins. 
    Before they were stepping into boxing rings, wrestling in the WWE, and breaking the internet with viral stunts, Jake and Logan Paul were just two kids from Ohio with big dreams and a camcorder. As their mother, I’ve seen it all—the highs, the heartbreaks, the headlines, and the hate. Faith in God, unshakable positivity, and a whole lot of resilience haven’t just helped me hold on to hope for my family, they’ve kept me sane in a digital era which is a dangerous place. 
    This is the story of what really happens when your kids become famous overnight, when the internet turns against you, and when you have to hold on for dear life as your kids build empires, battle legends, and redefine entertainment as we know it. 
    Part memoir, part cautionary tale, “F*** the Pauls” is an unfiltered look at our journey—the struggles, the triumphs, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. So buckle up, because life in the Paul household is anything but boring.

    Dalai Lama (2000) believes that seeking happiness "lies in our nature": The desire or need to be happy knows no bounds. It is something that lies in our nature. As such, it needs no grounds and it is justified by the simple fact that it is something we rightly want out of our nature. One has also asked if happiness is as important in all cultures. The answer is that happiness is at the top of the wish-list in every country; It is more important than wealth and to come to heaven, and as important as love (Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2008)...what makes us richer has been costly. The wealth, or what has been the prerequisite for wealth, has reduced a quieter life, close and stable relationships, we are moving apart. A materialistic lifestyle has a negative connection with happiness (Hellevik, 2003). NEF (2016) has calculated values on Happy Planet Index for 140 countries. Highest ranks Costa Rica and a number of other countries in Latin America. The population of Costa Rica has high values for happiness and longevity, and they have low values of ecological footprints. Norway has very high values of happiness and longevity, but also of footprints. In total, Norway is ranked twelfth and therefore highest among European countries, but closely followed by Albania. The United Kingdom is at thirty-fourth place, Canada number eighty-five and the United States number 108.
