There is a Great Teenage Myth alive in this world! This Myth is alive in the hearts & minds of many preteens & teens walking around this planet. Although most myths are harmless, this one is destructive. When one believes & lives the Myth (& most are unaware that they believe & live the Myth) it keeps one from experiencing & having in their life--True Freedom, True Independence, True Personal Power. Young people are not only living The Great Teenage Myth, they are perpetuating it each & every day, keeping its destructive power alive by sharing it with their friends & classmates. Two Key Points to consider: #1 The whole idea of ""play"" as teenagers' experience it today is a relatively new concept. #2 Before 1940, just over 65 years ago, there was technically no such thing as a teenager. Only if you are willing to understand & shatter The Great Teenage Myth will you have given yourself the opportunity to experience & live what you truly desire & need in your life. What's YOUR CHOICE?

Blake and Me: The Life Lessons I Learned From the Best Teacher I Ever Had is the story of a father's love for his son, and the lessons that father learned through the years from that son.From the day he found out that Blake had Down syndrome, Gordon Docking has been learning. First, he learned about the obstacles that his son--and his whole family--would have to face. It didn't take long for him to learn that those obstacles could be cleared with the right attitude. Mostly, he learned that Blake had the extraordinary ability to teach him real life lessons if he only would look past the problem and see the future.Blake is far more normal than not. Though he had some early struggles, Blake was a relatively healthy toddler who had to learn to do all the things that most kids had to do. He had to learn those things in spite of difficulties that would derail many people with less of a support system than Blake enjoyed.The family learned how to come to grips with the pain of an unexpected diagnosis of Down syndrome, deal with the fear and anxiety of open-heart surgery, and evolve to enjoy Blake's journey of celebrating life's accomplishments, both big and small.People with Down syndrome are famously happy, but Blake stands apart from most of them. Five seconds into meeting Blake, you realize that he is special. The world may say he has special needs, but the truth is, he's simply special.The operative word is simple...in a good sense. Blake can take the most complex situation and make it simple, and that's what this book is about. For example, many people spend too much time getting ready to do great things instead of just doing them. Others spend too much time dwelling on the things in their lives that aren't going well instead of celebrating the things that are successful.Readers will be inspired to look for the good in everything through the narrative of a professional storyteller. There will be times the natural reaction is laughter, and many others where readers are compelled to reexamine their own approach to adversity.Blake and Me draws you in, and you'll feel like you know this "celebrity magnet." Through the eyes and words of a former television sports reporter, you will realize that life is not that complicated.Meet a challenge, then defeat a challenge. And have fun doing it.

Living Without Shame is the follow-up support book to Barbara Theodosiou's family account of addiction, Without Shame. She knows all too well the depths of addiction, losing her precious son Daniel to its destruction. Recipient of a White House Champion of Change award, Barbara continues to help other mothers of addicted children with this interactive mindfulness journal for moms. These self-care exercises can be helpful for anyone who feels a little (or a lot) overwhelmed by the new reality of the coronavirus crisis.Founder of The Addict's Mom and sister to tens of thousands of fellow mothers of children with addictions, Barbara Theodosiou renews her pledge to help her peers. Living Without Shame is anchored in her main spiritual principle of healing: to process, grieve, and move forward from addiction, mothers of addicted children must look inward and live outward, without shame. Nestled inside an affirming and comforting aesthetic, this guided journal's fifty-two weekly activities help any mother to focus on herself. It may feel unnatural at first, because a mother's primary concern is always her child. But it's vital that a mother look after herself too, and this healing journal is designed for just that. This journal isn't for a child: not for finding him help or for saving him. It's entirely for moms to find their way home to their own happiness.
