  “Inspiring, engrossing, and informative, this is a book for all people—whether or not they consider themselves artists.” —Tayari Jones, New York Times bestselling author   Maxine Clair, award-winning author of the critically acclaimed short story collection Rattlebone and the novel October Suite, has assembled a deeply inspirational yet practical book to help readers access their inner creativity. Imagine This is a beautifully written set of deeply personal stories from which Clair draws examples of how we can be aware of the now, keep ourselves motivated, and create work of which we are proud.  Imagine This explains how some of us consciously choose the vehicle through which we express our magnificence—be it business, art, science, or other—while others of us have dutifully plied a trade in arenas that society has suggested are worthwhile, with self-expression only fixed on a hobby. Both, Clair maintains, can contribute to a good life. Occasionally, however, a moment comes that is sufficiently insistent on deep examination. In that moment we float the possibility for expression of a greater self.  Imagine This shows readers how to be aware of these moments and how our inner creativity is always seeking an outlet. By combining captivating memoir with step-by-step advice, Clair helps us find and develop our own unique and personal creative outlets.   “A guidebook to fulfilling one’s aspirations and harnessing creative energy that seamlessly blends thorough practical advice with the vivid language and pathos of memoir.” —Houston Style Magazine

  Alien Gods of Ancient Times

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  Aliens have been around since the dawn of time. Mankind has given them many names. Angels, ghosts, demons and more. We look to the skies and wonder, but the truth about aliens visiting planet earth is much more profound. It is so startling and so strange that nobody has thought to look in that particular direction. 
   
  Our ancestors developed ways of contacting these aliens and they called them gods. They were beings of light, shining ones, watchers. They were both good and bad, mirroring humanity. They gave great knowledge and after tens of thousands of years mankind suddenly had the ability to create civilization. We built huge monuments in their name and we recorded our contact with them in fables, myths, legends, folklore and religion. We even created grand myths, such as Atlantis, to explain it. 
   
  They were our gods and we worshipped them and recorded their powers, deeds and lives. These gods of the world were in fact not real gods, whatever that means. They were in fact alien invaders and we were the subjects of their rule. 
   
  This is the true story of the aliens in the ancient world.

  The Power of Heart - Living with...

  Amy Bloch

  Amy Bloch, accomplished psychiatrist, busy and fully in control of her professional and family life, was dealt what she thought was a devastating, insurmountable set-back when her daughter Emily was born with a severe brain malformation. Amy tried desperately to “fix” Emily and exhausted herself in her efforts to deal with the “problem” using her intellect, going at it brain-first, the way we tend to approach any challenge in our society. Emily, by default, lives completely heart-first: She simply doesn’t have the capabilities to approach life brain-first. 
  
  The Power of Heart is the distillation of what Emily taught Amy—applicable to anyone’s life. While the brain is amazing, powerful, and also quite useful, it does come with limitations. And there’s some stuff the brain just doesn’t know, which is where the heart comes in. Tapping into the heart helps your brain perform better—and makes you stronger and smarter than you will ever be trusting only the brain. 
  
  The heart will allow you to live with uncertainty; find strength, resilience, courage, and persistence in tough times; know your true self; manage emotions; and cast off self-criticism and doubt.
  
  Amy’s message of living heart-first, in conjunction with the brain, is presented in deeply thoughtful, life-affirming, inspiring, practical, and accessible chapters that will resonate with listeners of all ages and walks of life who are in search of coping strategies and self-improvement.

  The Invisible Corset - Break...

  Learn to love your body—for real this time 
   
   
   
  No matter how much we try to tell ourselves to love our bodies and accept our flaws, most women can't quite get there. Even though we know the beauty standard is unrealistic, we secretly feel like it would be so much easier if our stomach were just a little flatter, or our skin a little smoother, or a million other little things. As a result, we sacrifice our health, heritage, sanity, and lives on the altar of beauty culture. Why is it so hard to feel confident about our bodies, or even just accept them? 
   
   
   
  Because willpower alone isn't enough to undo generations of brainwashing intended to repress women's confidence and power. In The Invisible Corset, Geertsen carefully illustrates the psychological gaslighting that leads women to internalize the belief that their appearance makes them not only unworthy of love, but incapable of fulfilling their actual destiny. By highlighting each restricting string of the invisible corset all women wear, Geertsen helps us reclaim our bodies for ourselves, discovering newfound confidence, power, joy, and pleasure as we do. 
   
    
   
  For any woman who is ready to go from struggle, discomfort, control, and shame to pleasure, confidence, freedom, and soul-fulfilling purpose, The Invisible Corset is an essential guide.
