Summary

Martha lives with chronic illness, but is determined to stay strong enough to continue working at the zoo, which she loves. When her symptoms worsen and she starts fainting, she gets a service dog for support. With Henry by her side, she expects life to get easier, but that’s not what happens. Henry is a Chihuahua mix, much smaller than the familiar guide dogs for the blind, and Martha’s disability is not obvious, so when they go into public places people ask, “He’s so small. How does he help you?” Or, “You’re not blind, why do you need a service dog?” Martha is embarrassed by the unwanted attention and wants to give up, but Henry is not ready to retire. Giving Paws tells the story of Martha’s journey with Henry, overcoming hurdles and embracing unexpected blessings. It will appeal to all dog lovers, and will provide hope for anyone who could benefit from the support of a service dog.

    The solutions I propose involve eating foods you already have in your kitchen and making adjustments to your activities that cost you nothing. They can end the pain and embarrassment of long bathroom visits and prepare your entire digestive system to function optimally, making you less likely to experience constipation again.

    I used to experience constipation frequently. When I realized this was not normal and that I could be damaging my body, I decided to find a permanent solution. I checked out all the treatments, from home remedies to treatments offered by the medical industry. Today, I'm happy to report, I'm symptom-free. I live a "regular", active life, and I feel great!
    
    Isn't it about time you conquered constipation once and for all?
    
    In this audio-book I offer the results of my research, what has worked for me, and what seems to work the best for most people.

    If you are miserable with being overweight and tired of being on blood pressure medication, then keep reading... 
    Do you feel like being overweight has become part of your identity, always being referred to as “big” or “heavyset” behind your back, and after fighting this battle for decades are you beginning to think nothing is ever going to work? 
    Do you fear you will need to stay on blood pressure medication for the rest of your life, and that you are one “bad episode” away from having to double your meds, or worse? 
    High blood pressure is a leading cause of death, and you CAN do something about it. 
    But if you want to see those numbers on the scale drop, and tell your doctor to shove your blood pressure pills in the trash, where do you even start with healthier eating?  
    Online articles can be frustrating, with each new subject seeming to contradict the last. Should you count calories and macros? Should you weigh your food? Which foods can you eat and which should you avoid? How do certain nutrients interact with other parts of your diet? 
    You don’t need a PhD in nutrition to lose weight or lower your blood pressure. 
    U.S. News & World Report year after year ranks the DASH diet as one of the best diets for heart health and diabetes.  
    No other diet has helped more people to permanently get off their blood pressure medication than the DASH diet. 
    Unlike other DASH diets for weight loss that end up starving you or have you eating jello for 2 weeks, our DASH plan is backed by research and stays 100% true to the original DASH diet while jumpstarting your weight loss. 
    Stop letting things in your life take importance over your health. 
    No matter how much you weigh, no matter how high your blood pressure, even if you have never been on a diet before, this guide will lay out exactly what you need to do to get your life back!

    The following topics are included in this 2-book combo: 
      
      
    Book 1: Creativity is an art. Of course, some people have been exercising this art more than others. But there are ways for everyone to do so. In this book, we will touch on some of the best ways to boost your creative skills. We will go over some creative block breakers that have worked for others, so you won’t get stuck in your thoughts. 
      
    On top of all this, we will tell you more about the origins of creativeness, where it comes from, and why human beings are more prone to be creative than animals. In order to clarify this, we’ll dive into some neuroscience and brain activity that happens when we are working in creative ways. Certain scientific experiments will be referred to as well. 
      
    If this is something for you, then I encourage you to not wait any longer. 
      
      
      
      
    Book 2: Is passion the same as creativity? 
      
    Is creativity just coming up with new ideas? 
      
    Actually, the answer to both of these questions is “no.” But there is so much more to it, and in order to understand that, this guide can shed more light on those matters. 
      
    The book will discuss some ways to be more creative, some ways to turn creativity into developing new projects, inspiration, and how to combine passion with creativity. These are at the heart of innovation and expanding businesses, art projects, relationships, and so many other things in life. 
      
    Go ahead and start reading or listening.
