Summary

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist, writer and initiate, and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, and along with Lady Gregory founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature, and later served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State.
The Yeats’ essay Magic, written in 1901, was included in 1903 in the collection of Yeats’ non-fiction works and essays Ideas of Good and Evil, published in London by A.H. Bullen. It is one of the works that best reflect his esoteric beliefs and his profound knowledge of symbols and archetypes, derived from his lifelong membership in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society dedicated to the study and practice of occult hermeticism and metaphysics.

    Reflections on Faith contains several short stories intended to help the reader with their spiritual growth. The stories arose from personal experiences with inner conflict and my struggles as I worked my way through them. As I wrote, I gathered strength and inspiration from the divine, giving me hope and a new perspective on spirituality. I was given guidance through conversations with the heavens, and my beliefs on living a smarter life through purposeful action and decision making were reinforced. I channeled the heavens for inspiration, so some of the stories may seem to push the envelope. But strengthening one's spirituality and pursuing one's full potential in life are assisted by keeping an open heart and an open mind.

    Our most vivid memories can be our greatest teachers.
    There are moments that fade from our thoughts just as quickly as they occurred, and there are others that stay with us forever. These lasting memories are woven into the fabric of our being, etched into our DNA, and rooted so firmly in our minds that we can still sense every detail. Those experiences are where our characters and defining qualities are built and earned. However, if those experiences are challenging, it’s easy to get stuck in the struggle and become a victim to our pasts. Our histories are important, but the futures we create from them are immensely more crucial. So how do we learn enough from our pasts to keep moving forward? How do we reflect on our lives in a way that’s constructive, rather than restraining?
    	In her debut book, No Name Bastard, Tori DaCosta helps you to do just that. She vividly recounts a collection of her most unforgettable moments and the lessons she learned from them. DaCosta calls you to learn not just from her life, but from your own as well. The result is a vulnerable and inspiring text that will teach you how to embrace life’s challenges and use them to become the best version of yourself.

    When Mauro Guerra immigrated to the United States with his family in 1982, he had perhaps $20 in his pocket and little knowledge of the way things worked in America. Feeling he had been taken advantage of after being charged a 17 percent interest rate on a loan for the purchase of his first used car, he immediately set out to learn everything he could about how financial matters are handled in his new country. 
    Sebastian and Fabian Guerra, the sons of Mauro Guerra, look back at how the teachings, values, and work ethic of their father inspired them to become partners and owners of a family business that places a special emphasis on helping other families with matters of retirement income planning, investment management, tax planning, healthcare protection, and estate planning. 
    Sharing common experiences with thousands of their clients, the Guerra family over the years has developed plans and strategies—many of them designed to deal with specific needs and challenges facing their community—to bridge the income gap and investment planning challenges many people face upon nearing retirement. Also detailed here are specific strategies to deal with retirement-related tax issues, developing lifetime income streams, estate protection as well as advanced planning for long-term medical care. 
    To be Retirement Ready means to work because you want to and not because you have to. It’s making work an option, and not an obligation. This is our passion and we’re here to help build your personalized retirement story.
