She's Still There: Rescuing the Girl in You
by Chrystal Evans Hurst Priscilla ShirerWhat’s a woman to do if her life is not taking shape the way that she thought that it would? What happens when she looks at herself in the mirror, lingering just a little longer than usual and realizes that she no longer recognizes the person staring back at her? What does she do when she sees that, somehow, her life has drifted away from all her original hopes, dreams, or plans?Speaker, blogger and writer Chrystal Evans Hurst wrote this book because she was that woman. One day she realized that she had somehow wandered away from the life that she had purposed to live a long time ago.Chrystal since discovered that this moment of awareness happens to lots of women at different seasons of their lives. Poor decisions, a lack of intentionality or planning, or a long-term denial of deep hopes and dreams can leave a woman, old or young, reeling from the realization that she is lost, disappointed, or simply numb.And she just needs encouragement.This woman simply needs someone to hold her hand, to cheer her on, and to believe with her that she is capable of still being the person she intended to be or discovering the girl she never knew was there in the first place.Chrystal uses her poignant story of an early and unexpected pregnancy, as well as other raw and vulnerable moments in her life, to let readers know she understands what it’s like to try and find your way after some missteps or decisions you didn’t plan on. In She’s Still There Chrystal emphasizes the importance of the personal process and the beauty of that path as it is shared authentically from one girlfriend to another. It’s a book of “me toos”, reminders of the hoped for, and challenges for the path ahead - to find direction, purpose, and true satisfaction.

Shell: One Woman's Final Year After a Lifelong Struggle with Anorexia and Bulimia
by Michelle StewartMichelle Stewart always knew in her heart that her eating disorder would kill her. What she didn't expect in its early stages was that she would continue to function - albeit far from optimally - for decades before succumbing to its deadly effects. <P><P>A conscientious and ambitious woman driven by a desire to make a positive difference in the world, Michelle went on to build a successful career first in journalism and then in communications for the British Columbia Ministry of Health. Michelle devoted her working life to raising awareness of healthcare issues, all the while hiding her own anorexia and bulimia from friends and colleagues. By the time she was 48 years old, more than thirty years of self-imposed starvation, binging and purging had ravaged her organs. In May 2013 she was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure and given only a few months to live.Determined to come out of the shadows and share her story while she still had the chance, Michelle began writing a very personal and revealing blog in which she chronicled her lifelong struggle with her eating disorder and her experiences as a palliative patient within the very same healthcare system in which she had performed her life's work. "I have had a 32 year dress rehearsal for the fate I now face," she writes. This memoir is a collection of the most poignant pieces of writing from that blog, supplemented with previously unpublished pieces of original poetry from the author.Michelle Stewart's book stands out against other eating disorder memoirs in several ways. As a middle aged longtime sufferer, she belies the notion that eating disorders only affect the young - or that victims tend to either recover or perish early. According to experts featured in the foreword, medical practictioners who treat patients with eating disorders are seeing rising numbers of long-term sufferers like Michelle. These tend to be high-functioning individuals who keep their disorder underground for years while their bodies slowly disintegrate. Michelle's advanced years give her a valuable and rare perspective on a widespread mental health problem.Second, through her years spent in healthcare advocacy and communications, Michelle developed well informed insight into issues around medical services and the relationships between healthcare providers and their patients, including palliative patients. In her book, Michelle shares her personal views on disease-specific funding, patient care and the right-to-die movement, making a valuable contribution to the public conversation.Finally, the book is a deeply engaging and compelling tale of terminal illness progression that follows one woman from diagnosis to death. Anyone who has been touched by life-limiting illness in their own experience or in their family will be moved by this account of the palliative care journey told from the patient's perspective.
Shelter for the Spirit
by Victoria MoranEven though Americans spend thousands on furniture, appliances and interior decoration, many of our homes have become little more than drop-off zones where we collapse after work, glued to the TV while gulping down a microwave dinner. The home can be so much more than that, says Victoria Moran. It can be a haven in which people can revitalize mind, body and soul. That's what Shelter for the Spirit is all about. Merging Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with a sensitivity to the demands of modern life, it provides people with usable directions for bringing a sense of peace and renewal to their homes. Whether addressing how to get rid of clutter, decorate in a way that respects your personality, clean house as a spiritual exercise or celebrate special days (and ordinary ones too), Shelter for the Spirit shows how the quality of attention we give to everyday acts can transform our lives. The only book of its kind, it helps all readers make their homes places in which they and their guests enjoy spending their moments.

Shift
by Heather WallacePowerful, life-altering information from an enlightened being of the Pleiadian star system, channeled through the author. . . Heather Wallace has been channeling information for more than a decade. To use her word, "translator" is a more accurate term for what she does when she connects with spiritually aware entities from the spirit plane. She only connects and collaborates with beings working toward the greater good with love and integrity; she protects herself from malevolent beings and does not allow them to break through her psychic barriers. For her collaboration on Shift: New Paradigms for a New Earth, she connected with a being called "Holly" from the Pleiadian star system and it is through Holly that she presents transformational information accessible to anyone interested to evolve to a more enlightened existence. In Shift: New Paradigms for a New Earth Holly reveals outmoded programs that do not support self-empowerment or self-love and introduces ways in which the reader can shift these outmoded paradigms, embracing new ideas and concepts that align with our divine being. Holly explains our evolution from a mental-driven culture into a heart-centered species and how our previous patterns of behavior are no longer serving us. She covers the nature of time as not being linear, reincarnation, our nature as multidimensional beings, why we are here, vibrational frequency and other dimensions. As we move into a new age of expanded spiritual awareness, these subjects are becoming part of our accepted knowledge base and reality. Our vibration has shifted, and continues to shift, bringing us into an unprecedented era of expansion. It reasonably follows that new knowledge will now be available to us that is in resonance with our new vibration. Shift: New Paradigms for a New Earth will teach you: About the earth's new vibrational plane and how to operate in this new space How to have healthy, happy relationships--with yourself, your mate and the world around you How to heal conflict at the personal and global levels How to bring your emotional, mental, and spiritual selves into balance The difference between the law of attraction and manifestation, and how to use both to create what you want in your life The nature of the soul and ourselves as multidimensional beings The purpose behind violence and natural disasters Shift: New Paradigms for a New Earth is a practical guide and presents relatable, simple examples and exercises to help the reader fully embrace the information and put it into practical application in their everyday life.
Shift Happens!: Powerful Ways To Transform Your Life
by Robert HoldenTwo caterpillars were crawling along a tree branch one day when a butterfly flew overhead. One caterpillar said to the other, "You will never get me up in one of those things." Shift Happens! is about personal alchemy and inner transformation. Some people "go" through life; and other people "grow" through life. Shift Happens! celebrates your unlimited potential to grow, blossom, and evolve-in spite of everything. It is a book of hope. The term personal alchemy describes the ability to take a piece of dirt, roll it around a few times, and fashion it into a pearl. This is what an oyster does. Personal alchemy is what your grandmother called turning lemons into lemonade. It is what old wizards described as turning straw into gold. Shift Happens! is about staying open all hours for miracles. Success, love, and happiness are only ever one thought away at most. One new perception, one fresh thought, one act of surrender, one change of heart, one leap of faith, can change your life forever.

Shift: Managing Your Emotions--So They Don't Manage You
by Ethan Kross&“A revolutionary guide to mastering your emotional life.&”—Charles Duhigg&“Brilliant, engaging, and deeply insightful.&”—Lisa Damour&“A blueprint for navigating the emotional curveballs that life throws at us every day.&”—The New York TimesINSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER • One of Oprah Daily&’s Best Self-Help Books for Personal Growth in 2025, Next Big Idea Club&’s Highly Anticipated Books, and Adam Grant&’s 10 New Books to Feed Your MindA myth-busting, science-based guide that addresses the timeless question of how to manage your emotional life using tools you already possess—from the bestselling author of Chatter.Whether it&’s anxiety about going to the doctor, boiling rage when we&’re stuck in traffic, or devastation after a painful break-up, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. Far from being &“good&” or &“bad,&” emotions are information. When they&’re activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation, and helping us make the right choices. But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Dr. Ethan Kross has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In Shift, he dispels common myths—for instance, that avoidance is always toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment—and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don&’t take over our lives. Shift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotions—from a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughter&’s life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Dr. Kross spotlights a wide array of tools that we already have access to—in our bodies and minds, our relationships with other people, and the cultures and physical spaces we inhabit—and shows us how to harness them to be healthier and more successful. Filled with actionable advice, cutting-edge research, and riveting stories, Shift puts the power back into our hands, so we can control our emotions without them controlling us—and help others do the same.
