Healing is a choice. This is the continuing key lesson learned by Mike Pestano from his journey of transformation. A lesson instilled in him by his spiritual mentors Radhaa Nilia of Goddess Code Academy and Maya The Shaman. When he was diagnosed with a rare and incurable autoimmune condition in 2014 after two hospitalizations in California and in Canada he had two options. The word fear has two meanings: Forget everything and run or face everything and rise. In this book you will learn how he overcame this incurable condition naturally and without the help of man-made drugs. It is a story about faith, hope, courage, and a continued evolution of mind, body, and spirit that leads to an incredible discovery. We place our fate too many times in the hands of others that adhere to only one mindset of healing. In this book you will learn further the natural and unique healing protocols Mike developed integrating nutrition, exercise programs, mindset programming, energy healing, and spiritual nourishment that healed the incurable autoimmune condition that scarred his liver, bile ducts, and kidneys. This is a continuation of a journey that began in 2011 when Mike reversed type 2 diabetes and battled obesity successfully by losing 107 pounds in 16 months. He discovered that through the initial experience of undergoing that first transformation it prepared him to face the ultimate battle for his life and his soul. The lessons he learned and the healing protocols he developed are all outlined in this book. It is a book that delves deep into the shadows of our humanity. The ones that we tend to disregard and cast aside because we perceive that to have flaws, insecurities, guilt, shame, failures, and mistakes is not a part of being human. These attributes that he learns to accept are ultimately what propels his self-healing. The answers to all of life's questions about existence and purpose come to Mike on this journey of healing from 2013 to 2016. When we embrace our shadows and integrate it into our whole being we are complete. The timeless lessons he learned from his spiritual mentors became his foundation as he implemented them all to save his life. Now this story can be told and shared to the world with confidence, love, and gratitude.

"This is absorbing, headlong reading, a play on classic horror with an inventiveness of its own... As with all the best illusions, you are left feeling not tricked, but full of wonder." – The New York Times The haunting new thriller from Alex North, author of the New York Times bestseller The Whisper Man You knew a teenager like Charlie Crabtree. A dark imagination, a sinister smile--always on the outside of the group. Some part of you suspected he might be capable of doing something awful. Twenty-five years ago, Crabtree did just that, committing a murder so shocking that it’s attracted that strange kind of infamy that only exists on the darkest corners of the internet--and inspired more than one copycat. Paul Adams remembers the case all too well: Crabtree--and his victim--were Paul’s friends. Paul has slowly put his life back together. But now his mother, old and suffering from dementia, has taken a turn for the worse. Though every inch of him resists, it is time to come home. It's not long before things start to go wrong. Paul learns that Detective Amanda Beck is investigating another copycat that has struck in the nearby town of Featherbank. His mother is distressed, insistent that there's something in the house. And someone is following him. Which reminds him of the most unsettling thing about that awful day twenty-five years ago. It wasn't just the murder. It was the fact that afterward, Charlie Crabtree was never seen again...

Postbellum America makes for a haunting backdrop in this historical and supernatural tale of moonlit cemeteries, masked balls, cunning mediums, and terrifying secrets waiting to be unearthed by an intrepid crime reporter. Edward Clark is a successful young crime reporter in comfortable circumstances with a lovely, well-connected fiancée. Then an assignment to write a series of exposés on the city’s mediums places all that in jeopardy. In the Philadelphia of 1869, photographs of Civil War dead adorn dim sitting rooms, and grieving families attempt to contact their lost loved ones. Edward’s investigation of the beautiful young medium Lucy Collins has unintended consequences, however. He uncovers her tricks, but realizes to his dismay that Lucy is more talented at blackmail than she is at a medium’s sleights of hand. And since Edward has a hidden past, he reluctantly agrees that they should collaborate in exposing only her rivals. The mysterious murder of noted medium Lenora Grimes Pastor as Lucy and Edward attend her séance results in a plum story for Edward—and a great deal more. The pair want to clear themselves from suspicion, but a search spanning the houses of the wealthy to the underside of nineteenth-century Philadelphia unearths a buzzing beehive of past murder, current danger, and supernatural occurrences that cannot be explained…

What better Christmas surprise for detective-in-training Flavia de Luce than a dreadful murder under Buckshaw's roof - and a snowbound house full of suspects! It's Christmas time, and our beloved Flavia is tucked away in her laboratory whipping up a sticky concoction to trap that infamous sneak, Saint Nick, and thereby prove once and for all - despite the claims of her evil sisters - that he does exist. But she is soon distracted from her task: Colonel de Luce, in desperate need of funds, has rented the family's crumbling manor house to a film company for the holidays. When its crew arrives from London to shoot a movie starring the reclusive and renowned actress, Phyllis Wyvern, there's no end to the disruptions - and dramas - demanding Flavia's attention. When Wyvern is convinced to perform a famous scene to help raise funds for the local church, it is decided that Buckshaw Manor is the only suitable location. Its foyer alone is bigger than the parish hall, and could fit every man, woman, and child in Bishop's Lacey, to a soul. It's almost Christmas Eve, but - to no one's surprise - all of the village inhabitants fight their way through a raging snowstorm to be in the audience that magical night. As the actors take to the stage, however, the blizzard sets in, and it becomes clear that the villagers will have to hunker down at Buckshaw for the night. Sleeping head to toe in the de Luces' foyer seems amenable to most, until word spreads of the evening's shocking conclusion - Phyllis Wyvern is found strangled to death in the Blue Bedroom, with a length of film from one of her movies tied in an elaborate bow around her neck. But who among the assembled guests would stage such a chilling scene? As the storm worsens and the list of suspects grows, Flavia must use every ounce of her chemical cleverness and crime-solving prowess to ferret out a killer hidden in plain sight. But when she does piece the puzzle together and deduce who has committed this twisted crime, will Flavia be able to escape in one piece?

The key to success lies in getting to the top, right? Wrong. Not everyone can be in charge but, more importantly, not everyone should want to be. Richard Hytner, Deputy Chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi, thinks it's time to celebrate the second-in-commands, the consiglieri: from Merlin, to Al Gore, Rasputin to Machiavelli. These are the deputies, the Vice Presidents, the C-suite, the department heads - lieutenants, advisers, and counselors - whose influence determines the fate of boardrooms, corporations, and nations. While supremacy comes with drawbacks and influence, authority and power can be found in much more interesting places than the CEO's chair. Consiglieri: Leading from The Shadows brings together historical examples from Harry Hopkins to William Seward, conversations with contemporary second-in-commands like Tony Blair and Sir Alex Ferguson, and unique insights into Stalin, JFK, and Winnie the Pooh. A mirror for contemporary 'No. 2's' and a theoretical map for future consiglieri, the book traverses an array of powerful advisers from the White House to the Vatican, across international business, sports, and entertainment, as well as citing provocative research from psychology and academia.

This is the story of a girl who grew up in the shadow of her large family tree. While her family gave her many comforts in her life, she fell into the shadow of this tree and silenced herself from sharing her accomplishments, eclipsed by the success and perceived expectations of others. Instead, she wore a mask that only she could see, telling her that she was never good enough. As she grew up, she learned through many life-defining moments how to overcome that voice in her head and, as a result, how to balance the paradox of being her true self while still finding her place in her loving, wealthy, and supportive family. Only then did her essence shine through the branches of the tree and bring sunlight to her life, which she now shares with others. As she continued to show up for herself every day as her best self, she came to understand that she is Enough. *This edition is printed in color.*
