When There Is No SafetyEvery nine seconds, a woman becomes a victim of domestic violence in the United States. The laws don't do enough to protect these women and their children from the abuse, which will always escalate. Detective Jessica Warren understands all too well how vulnerable women are in abusive relationships. And she's not going to stand by and watch as innocent victims are injured, or worse. The Safehouse is the story of Jessie Warren and the closely knit network of powerful women who aren't willing to allow abusive men to hide behind inadequate laws. It's the story of the victims she helps, some of whom learn to break out of the patterns holding them trapped. And it's the story of how Jessie navigates the police system with pragmatism, intelligence, and heart to extend a helping hand to women in need. But with all the time and emotional energy she spends helping others, will she be able to maintain her own life balance? And will she be able to outsmart the one member of the police force who doesn't approve of her unorthodox methods? True to life and riveting, The Safehouse will take you on a compelling journey to justice. The author is donating 25% of royalties from this book to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

The content was very inspiration, though surprising at times. While the specifics of your paper did not apply to me, it still made me reassess my own marriage and how we treat each other. I liked how you both defended and pushed both partners. Marriage takes both spouses to make it work. In the end, it does not matter who was at fault. If you want the marriage to heal, both partners have to do their part. I also liked the imagery that you carried through the paper of stone foundations and sources of water. I was surprised by the sexual content. I am sad to say that I only had one religious teacher who touched on human sexuality being a gift from God to be shared with your spouse. Every other religious teacher seemed to treat the idea as either something dirty or something not to be spoken of, as if it were shameful. I realize that many, just like parents, probably just do not know how to bring it up. However, it was interesting to see it brought up in a way that showed its importance to the wellbeing of the marriage and not just as a duty. Anonymous editor

Enter the World of Dontrel's Tales!Do you like stories with action? Do you like fairytales? Do you like comedy? Whatever your taste might be, Dontrel's Tales has the story for you. Most of them take place in Trelland, a fictional country. Five islands make up the country, including an archipelago in the northwest. Clover Island has an area of 4,399 square miles. Axle Island has an area of 4,300 square miles. Lance, the largest island, has an area of 4,409 square miles. On Lance, the Supreme Mountain has an elevation of 2,227 feet, the highest point on Trelland. Falcon, the fourth island, has an area of 4,200 square miles. Saber, a narrow island, has an area of 3,311 square miles. The Low Islands and the High Islands, traditionally a part of Saber, form an archipelago near the northern shore of the island. Consisting of 12 islands, they differ by climatic region. The High Islands in the south have a tropical climate, and the Low Islands in the north have a moderate climate with light rainfall. Lagoons dot the coast of each island, and palm forests cover the interior region. The country has warm summers and cool winters. Rainfall averages between 5 and 12 inches a year, most of it between April and September. The population density is greatest near the coast. Clover Wing, with a population of 121,600, is an important commercial city on the south of Axle Island. The climate is mild with an average annual temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The city's history begins in the 12th century C.E, not long after Trelland's unification. Throughout the city's history, Clover Wing has been a site of battles between chieftains who vied for power. After unification, the city became the center of government, intellect, and culture. Trading, banking, shipping, and industry are among the most important activities; Singing Dolphins, a port on Lance Island, is second in importance. In Clover Wing, the industries include food processing and cement plants, clothing factories, shoe factories, and tourism. Three avenues run through the city, collectively known as Trinity Way. The palace of the great chief sits in the middle of Clover Avenue, along with lush gardens. Powhatan, Trelland's Parliament, meets in the Council Hall on Wing Staff Avenue. The National Court resides on Arrowhead Avenue. Various stores, schools, and public buildings stand nearby. The principal port and largest city, however, is Singing Dolphins, with a population of 205,200. As a whole, agriculture is the most important activity in Trelland. Palm oils, corn, and vegetables are the leading crops in the east; grains and rice grow in the west. The people also catch a lot of seafood, which constitutes the bulk of the people's diet. The major industry is the processing of agricultural products, and several mills extract palm oil. A number of plants pack seafood, which is the country's principal export. Dontrel's Tales deals with folklore and legends. The stories depict the scenery of Trelland and the people who live there. I wanted to create a world from my imagination, a world of brave men and women with values, morale, and wit. In my book, I hope to give kids and adults a refuge where my characters can inspire them to dream, to hope, to laugh, and to think. I hope that you enjoy it.

DescriptionPositive people attract positive things, while negative people only attract the things they fear or dislike most. The wonderful thing about your mind is its immense power. No bad habit exists that can't be changed to something virtuous. Change is the key word here. Bad habits don't just vanish into thin air. They have to be replaced. For example, overcoming an addiction isn't achieved by trying to quit your frustrating habit. Instead, it is accomplished by focusing your mind on the new intent, so the mental-energy reprogramming can activate the emotional aspects to attract the new prosperous circumstances into your environment that will help you achieve the change required to replace your addiction. Since the profound power of faith is your most intense emotion you can amplify and enhance your affirmations by combining them with your spiritual practice. By internalizing the impactful significance of these positive thoughts, you will extract the goodness that resides within you and draw in the abundance around you that lies waiting to be tapped. When you apply these dynamic daily affirmations you will be targeting the fearful, limited, lesser you, and adjusting your mental concepts and emotions to create the empowered you.

About the AuthorAs a pastoral counseling psychologist, Juna Jinsei Ph.D. has worked with many victims of trauma. She learned that by having those she counseled apply positive affirmations on a daily basis, allowed them to impress new habits and behaviors on their psyche that enabled them to see things in a new perspective, gain a positive attitude, and eventually turn their lives around. She has written Elevate Your Life as a tool to aid others in need so they may successfully achieve their self-transformation and acquire the things they desire most in their lives. A Word from the Author"Whether you are communicating verbally, internally, or in your dreams, what you continuously repeat to yourself and others will eventually form habitual patterns in your thoughts and actions. This is why it is extremely important to keep your words as uplifting and positive as possible when thinking or speaking. By exercising your mind with inspirational affirmations on a daily basis, you can commence to carve out a better existence from the elevated behavior you create, positive automatic responses you have, and conscience awareness you demonstrate, which will turn your good intentions into the wonderful benefits you aspire toward, while manifesting a multitude of opportunities laced with good fortune."
