  Writer, poet, and teacher Natalie Goldberg, author of the bestselling WRITING DOWN THE BONES, shows you how to unleash your "Wild Mind" - the true source of your creative power. In this crisp mix of memoir, teaching guide, nonfiction and poetry, Goldberg strips creativity to the essential mind that is “raw, full of energy, alive, and hungry.”Natalie is compassionate, practical, and humorous. "Even if it's just a leg hanging out the window, she says, "write it down." Highlights include: provocative "try this" exercises to compel you into action, advice on how to find time to write, how to discover your personal style, how to make sentences come alive, and how to overcome procrastination and writer's block. She also explores the larger vision of the writer's task: knowing when to take risks as a writer and a person, learning self-acceptance in life and art.

  Thomas Jefferson Survives -...

  “Does Thomas Jefferson still matter?” ask two leading historians on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. 
    
  Thomas Jefferson has been reinvented more than perhaps any American president in history. In the nineteenth century, slavery’s defenders invoked Jefferson’s defense of states’ rights while abolitionists drew on his antislavery writings in support of their cause. After the Civil War, Jefferson’s reputation declined because of his association with secession and disunion, but in the twentieth century, his image soared as he came to embody the democratic values America fought for during World War II.  
    
  Unsurprisingly, Jefferson’s legacy has shifted yet again in the twenty-first century, effectively becoming a partisan talisman—jettisoned by the left as a plantation patriarch and repurposed by the right as an avatar of white nationalism. Dissatisfied with these political caricatures and manic swings, leading Jefferson scholars Peter S. Onuf and Francis D. Cogliano instead situate the founding father in his complicated historical context and reveal how his wisdom can be applied today.  
    
  In a series of three interrelated essays, the authors paint a nuanced portrait. “Generations” elucidates how Jefferson’s understanding of history shaped his responses to the major problems of his time. “My Country” delves into how he conceived of the American homeland, and “The People” unravels how Jefferson articulated a new national identity in the Declaration of Independence.  
    
  Taken together, Thomas Jefferson Survives demonstrates how even amid crisis, Jefferson managed to articulate a capacious and optimistic vision for the future of the American people. As Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed writes in her foreword, “As much as Jefferson reflected the often-benighted times in which he lived, he rose above them in ways that have a great deal to tell us about the political straits in which we find ourselves.” After all, Jefferson knew better than anyone that 1776 was an important moment, but not the only moment, for Americans to write a better future. 
    
  “A powerful argument for the continuing importance of Thomas Jefferson in our troubled and turbulent times. These two great scholars of Jeffersonian America, using Jefferson’s belief in generational sovereignty and his utter faith in us, that is, the future generations of American people, have brilliantly described for us the various ways Jefferson still matters.”—Gordon Wood, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian and author of Friends Divided

  Mysteries of mithras the

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media (altrusiangrace.com) and human-narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
   
  This brief outline of the comparatively meagre information we possess on what at one time was the most widely spread mystery-institution in the Roman empire, is introductory to the following small volume which will deal with the only Mithriac Ritual known to us. In dealing with this exceedingly instructive Ritual I found that the limits of one booklet would not suffice for an adequate introduction; and without this, I fear, many readers will not be in a position to appreciate the Ritual at its just value. For, in spite of the wealth of epigraphic and monumentary material now in our hands, the texts of the ancient writers which treat of the religion of Mithra, are, with rare exceptions, provokingly deficient in information on the doctrines and inner meanings of these famous Mysteries; and, therefore, a Ritual that unfolds to us the nature of the chief secret to which the lower grades of the mystery-rites conducted the brethren, is of the utmost value. It articulates, clothes with flesh, and puts life into what have been hitherto for the most part the dry bones of a skeleton."

  In an age of constant change and uncertainty, how can we remain calm, centered, and able to respond wisely?  
  In this 2026 interview with Justine Willis Toms, creativity coach and psychotherapist Eric Maisel introduces the practice of serene readiness—a mindset that blends inner tranquility with the nimbleness to act decisively. He offers practical tools for managing anxiety, maintaining focus, and living with purpose, showing how serenity can be cultivated not only in meditation, but in the midst of daily life. Serene readiness, Maisel explains, means being mentally and emotionally prepared for life’s surprises while staying anchored in one’s values and creative intentions. He invites us to take personal responsibility for meaning-making and to design a calm, purposeful “inner architecture” that nurtures courage, presence, and self-compassion.  
  Eric Maisel is a retired, licensed psychotherapist and an internationally respected coach specializing in creativity, existential wellness, and relationship coaching. His books include:  
  Night Brilliance: The Sleep Thinker's Guide to Powerful Problem-Solving (BTSL – Jim Dandy Publishing 2026)

  How was it possible for one woman, later joined by a handful of others, to overcome a large organisation and bring about a gender equality sea change in higher education in her country? This is the story of how the granddaughter of Ireland's most famous suffragette won a gender discrimination case for lack of promotion, the first such win in either Ireland or the UK; then donated her €70,000 award to five other women, also passed over in that promotion round, for their High Court case. It tells of the subsequent Micheline’s Three Conditions Campaign, a four-year epic struggle filled with twists and turns, to get the five women promoted. And then the final success. This is a fascinating and often funny account which will inspire others to take on injustice.

  Rare Recording of Father Charles...

  Father Charles Coughlin

  Father Charles Coughlin was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. 
  An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. 
  In this recording, Coughlin first discusses Franklin D. Roosevelt, and then the consequences of World War I twenty years after.
