  Narrated by Caroline QuentinFind solace in your outdoor space in this delightful horticultural journey with actress Caroline Quentin, as she draws on her life-long passion for gardening.Throughout this audio book, Caroline shows how much joy she gets from spending time in her garden, whether it be grappling with the best way to grow plants and vegetables, or raising seeds in her potting shed. Though she now has a large following on her Instagram account, @CQGardens, her attitude to gardening is the same as it has always been – expertise helps, but is not essential. Gardening should be fun and enjoyable, filled with the simple pleasures of planning, planting, harvesting, and cooking. It is also a meditative and restorative pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits.Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality, Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over the years, she has come to realize that gardening, just like life, is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling and frustrating failures.In this wonderful audio book, Caroline mixes personal stories from her life and experiences in the garden, with practical tips, recipes for food and drink, and even the occasional favorite poem. As she likes to misquote Dorothy Parker: ‘Take to horticulture, it’s cheaper than a shrink’.

  "Coming to Terms with Bereavement," offers a compassionate and comprehensive roadmap for navigating the multifaceted journey of grief. It acknowledges that bereavement is a universal human experience, yet its path is unique to every individual, shaped by the nature of the relationship, the circumstances of the loss, and our own personal history. The guide extends its embrace to all forms of loss, from the profound sorrow of losing a cherished loved one to the complex and often disenfranchised grief of losing a beloved pet or an estranged family member. 
  Drawing on established psychological theories and the voices of leading experts, the guide demystifies the grieving process. It explores the full spectrum of emotional, physical, and cognitive responses to loss, validating feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, and even relief. It provides a framework for understanding the different landscapes of grief, from the initial shock and disbelief to the gradual and often non-linear process of healing and restoration. The guide emphasizes that there is no "right" way to grieve and encourages readers to be patient and compassionate with themselves as they navigate their own unique journey. 
  Beyond theory, the guide offers practical strategies for coping with the pain of loss and for rebuilding a life of meaning and purpose. It explores the importance of self-care, the power of connection and support, and the healing potential of ritual and remembrance. It also addresses the specific challenges of complicated grief, providing guidance on when to seek professional help. Ultimately, this guide is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a beacon of hope for all who are struggling to find their way through the darkness of loss. It is a reminder that while grief may change us, it does not have to define us, and that it is possible to find a way to live a full and meaningful life in the aftermath of loss.

  A guide to your spiritual journey of transformation using the Enneagram.   “The Enneagram of the Soul invites us on a journey of profound self-discovery.” —from the foreword by Russ Hudson, bestselling coauthor of The Wisdom of the Enneagram  The Enneagram of the Soul is inspired by over two decades of inner and outer work with the Enneagram by leading expert Nhien Vuong. Nhien provides a path to wholeness for the self, enabling the reader to be steered gently yet firmly away from the trap of solely identifying with their personality type, so they can live more fully from their divine nature.   This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 shares nine Enneagram-informed principles that guide one’s journey of transformation using the Enneagram, nine contemplative practices to propel and support the transformational process, and nine prayers to lend heart to the journey. Part 2 offers forty activations, which consist of very brief questions, reminders, or practices on forty different themes customized for each of the nine Enneagram personality types. When we begin to access the wholeness of all nine Enneagram energies working in concert, we experience a greater sense of inner peace, purpose, and fulfillment.   “An important and uniquely useful contribution to the Enneagram literature in that she provides a pathway for the types, built around practices and principles.” —Beatrice Chestnut, author of The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up

  The Benefits Of A Plant-Based...

  Plant foods contribute to the treatment of heart disease.Simply eating right can significantly extend life expectancy and reduce mortality. Many studies have shown that heart disease can be reversed with diet alone in many patients.Although current research findings and statistics lean toward conventional prevention and treatment, recent research has offered a new perspective on the benefits of dietary interventions, particularly for the whole food plant-based diet. A plant-based diet consists of fruit, grains, legumes, vegetables, and little to no animal foods (i.e., dairy products). Whole foods include those that have undergone a minimal amount of processing, free of artificial and other additives that distract the body from obtaining the original nutrient composition upon digestion. An example of this distinction is white bread, which has ultimately been processed to a point where the product has lost most of its whole wheat nutritional value. This book will examine the role of such an alternative diet in preventing and treating heart disease.
