At the end of each vignette are five meaningful learning messages, gleaned through the life tests of that story.THE ARTFUL LIAR presents an examined life to the reader. It tells one woman's journey and her reflections on surviving deception and betrayal. It's meant to be a gift to women of all ages everywhere who struggle with dishonesty, cheating, infidelity and relationship loss. It's a call to every woman to be strong, to pay attention, to listen to her gut, to rid herself of betrayers and deceivers, and to claim what she wants.

Becoming aware of what you are feeling on a regular basis and at every moment can prevent you from being a zombie and can put you back in control of your emotions, your life and the quality of its experience. If you are tired of being a slave to your emotions, allowing them to run your life, then realize that you don''t have to anymore.In this book you will learn how to master your emotions, make them your friends, and understand the messages that they bring to help you grow, expand and get in touch with your true self. Every emotion has its place and its reason for being; however, what we do with those emotions is what needs to be mastered so that you can then navigate your life to have the kind of experiences that you most desire.This book is part of The One Minute Coach series of books.The book is written using the rules of the Accelerated Learning Techniques, which emphasize the use of both right and left hemispheres of the brain for faster and easier learning and later recollection.Each chapter in this book takes about a minute to read and each chapter is followed by action steps explaining what you can do with the information you just read. This is because I believe that there is already an information overload and what people need is not more information but an understanding of what to do with it. The image at the end of each chapter helps with the whole brain learning and recollection. It also makes it more fun to read.There are five parts to this book. The first part introduces you to the world of emotions and helps you see them from a different perspective. The second part focuses on the feel-bad emotions and the third part on the feel-good emotions. The forth part gives you practical tools for mastering your emotions and the fifth part helps you put it all together and integrate your new knowledge into your daily lives. There are also two appendixes that give specific tools to release unwanted emotions.

Managing a major remodel of your home involves learning various aspects of a construction project: permitting; hiring contractors; clarifying what you really mean and want; managing a budget; overseeing quality, avoiding regrets; doing what's right for yourself and standing up for yourself. It's a big job. The learning curve is high and often we homeowners don't get to apply the skills we learned again.In this book, the stories of a couple going through this learning curve is told through the lens of a novice just like a conversation with a homeowner over a cup of tea. What they thought they wanted (a brand new house in modern minimalist style with solar panels and recycled materials) is very different than what they ended up with (remodel of a 90-year-old house in the classic Arts and Crafts style to meet the stringent international building standard called Passive House). What caused this shift? How did they choose the contractor? How did they navigate out of overwhelm of green building choices? How did they manage the relationships? What would they do differently? Was it worth it?This book chronicles the journey by a couple from choosing the location through living in the house after the renovation completion. It wasn't all about finding smart people and following expert guidance. When expert opinions diverged and they got stuck in analysis paralysis they had to trust their judgment and chose what they felt was right for them. After all, they'll be living in the house for years after the experts are gone. "Chie Kawahara is a storyteller. Her book, Midori Haus, tells a compelling story in a conversational style about a couple who wanted to remodel an older home that would use as little energy as possible-and was comfortable and healthy to live in. Anyone who has an interest in green building-doing right for oneself and the planet-will find a friend in this book." -Jim Gunshinan, Editor, Home Energy Magazine"Midori Haus serves as a journey of adapting, learning, greening, nurturing, and caring for an old house by renewing the house to address current and future environmental challenges. The narrative is delightfully educational - the design process of achieving the passive house standard will be better understood through these stories and conversations." -Alison G. Kwok, Ph.D., AIA, CPHC, University of Oregon"The international Passive House standard has gained a deserved reputation as the fastest growing building energy efficiency standard in the world. Unsurprisingly, publications about it have mostly been by and for industry professionals. Midori Haus represents an alternative, introducing readers to Passive House through the eyes of a homeowner undertaking a remodeling project. Chie Kawahara takes readers along on her journey of discovery and remodeling triumph. She makes the process understandable and accessible and readers are given practical tools they can use on their own Passive House projects. There's nothing like a good case study told by the people involved to bring abstract concepts to life. Midori Haus doesn't disappoint." -Elrond Burrell, Architect, CPHD, blogger"In this delightful book, Chie Kawahara describes the process she and her husband went through to purchase a 1920s bungalow and turn it into a state-of- the-art, healthy, green, Passive House. This account of their experiences is highly instructional for anyone considering buying and renovating a house, and it's a wonderful read!" -Alex Wilson, Founder, BuildingGreen, Inc.

Time has taken its toll. We must bid farewell to what we've known and enter what lies ahead.Welcome to the ancient island of Estillyen, a place that is paradoxically both very far away and quite close. A troupe of Message Makers from the seventeenth century mysteriously arrives to grapple with the theme of technology and our integrity of life in today's context, and the reader is invited on a journey to discover and reflect on whether it's possible to find a balance between the onslaughts.Divine Choreography of Redemption is a celebration of prose, imagination, and faith. It explores the story of redemption as a divine drama advanced by acts and agents that transcend time and space. As the story unfolds, a classic battle between technology and spirituality unfolds which considers not just the trappings of high-tech, but its approaches to life and relationship to myths, reality, past and present, from Dante to Christ.
