______________________ 'Too much to do? Stop and read this' - Guardian 'For a fresh take on an eternal dilemma, Overwhelmed is worth a few hours of any busy woman's life – if only to ensure that she doesn't drop off the bottom of her own “To Do” list' - Mail on Sunday ______________________ In her attempts to juggle work and family life, Brigid Schulte has baked cakes until 2 a.m., frantically (but surreptitiously) sent important emails during school trips and then worked long into the night after her children were in bed. Realising she had become someone who constantly burst in late, trailing shoes and schoolbooks and biscuit crumbs, she began to question, like so many of us, whether it is possible to be anything you want to be, have a family and still have time to breathe. So when Schulte met an eminent sociologist who studies time and he told her she enjoyed thirty hours of leisure each week, she thought her head was going to pop off. What followed was a trip down the rabbit hole of busy-ness, a journey to discover why so many of us find it near-impossible to press the 'pause' button on life and what got us here in the first place. Overwhelmed maps the individual, historical, biological and societal stresses that have ripped working mothers' and fathers' leisure to shreds, and asks how it might be possible for us to put the pieces back together. Seeking insights, answers and inspiration, Schulte explores everything from the wiring of the brain and why workplaces are becoming increasingly demanding, to worldwide differences in family policy, how cultural norms shape our experiences at work, our unequal division of labour at home and why it's so hard for everyone – but women especially – to feel they deserve an elusive moment of peace. ______________________ 'Every parent, every caregiver, every person who feels besieged by permanent busyness, must read this book' - Anne-Marie Slaughter, author of Why Women Still Can't Have It All

Natalie's saga continues through male archetypes, prophetic dreams, past life memories and legal situations on her journey to genuine love. “Everyone we meet is our mirror - an aspect of our inner-self, either in the sameness or the opposite.” In the Garden of Eden, God told Adam and Eve not to partake of the fruit from one particular tree - the tree of knowledge. The Serpent/Satan slithered in approach to the woman Eve telling/enticing her that it was okay to eat of the fruit of the tree. That nothing harmful would occur, to not believe God, but to believe him. Eve believed the Serpent/Satan and took a bite of the forbidden fruit. It tasted good and nothing negative appeared to occur. Eve went to Adam and told him as such. Adam took a bite of the fruit. Adam and Eve realized they were naked and became ashamed. God noticing their shame inquired of Adam, “Why did you eat of the fruit from the forbidden tree?” Adam replied, “The woman, Eve told me to eat of it. God asked Eve, “Why did you partake of the fruit from the forbidden tree? Eve replied, “The serpent told me that it was okay to eat of it, so I did.” In the fall of Adam, he became a blame-deflecting narcissist. Shame was introduced into paradise. Out of his shame, Adam took no accountability or responsibility for eating the forbidden fruit. Instead, he put the blame on Eve, then Eve passed the buck to the Serpent/Satan. The ‘devil made me do it’ excuse. The Serpent/Satan knew that he’d won this first round. Adam held Eve out in front of him as a shield or excuse. This story line has continued on varying levels ever since. Satan was the original malignant narcissist caring only about manipulation, control, deception, lies, gas-lighting and destruction as, he tries to take the power of God for himself. Satan/Narcissists are full of shame. The shame of envy, lies and sin. Satan’s goal out of his envy, is to try and usurp God by perverting and destroying God’s most precious and prized creation that of the human being and what better way to do this, but in the romantic male/female relationship. Genesis 1:27 KJV “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” The Serpent/Satan began first thing to tarnish love, peace, purity, bliss and joy in the male/female God-created connection. In each and every male/female connection there will be three. Man, woman and Satan, or male, female and God. And of course, it extrapolates out from there into the world into each and every relationship on earth. There will always aspects of good and evil. It only depends on the spectrum and degree of good, or evil in each person, in any given time, as it magnifies into each relationship. Along with the awareness of self, either to step into self-reflection and healing, or to fall further and deeper into separation from self into sin and shame. God’s creation of Adam and Eve necessitated a maturation process, as well as a process for salvation. Why do we attract to those that we do and why do they attract to us? This is one of life's greatest mysteries. Patterns of romance selection are guided by complex internal interweavings. Perhaps, the attraction is to those who carry the energy needed to become more aware of imprints & negative beliefs, in order to heal and further expand our soul. “The highest of the male energy protects, provides and heals. The lowest of the male energy predator-like, destroys and steals.” Ayn Dillard By understanding her ways, he comes to know the mystery of his heart. By sharing love with her, he discovers how to love the world. In the merging of the two, she awakens his masculinity to receive the beauty of the feminine. He becomes her strength. She becomes his weakness -- this is truest and most profound exchange of power.
