Sharing Treasure is a self-help and motivational memoir which aims to teach reflection, self-acceptance, dropping the fear of failure, discovering inner passions, and recognizing the value in life...Though, the title Sharing Treasure suggests a couple of different ideas, so let me be upfront about the treasures you will find here.I am not with a band of pirates who recently found a hidden chest filled with gold.I am not some famous pioneer who has found the next gold rush or diamond mine.Instead, I am a guy with a sharp and honest history.Think back to your childhood. Can you recall things you would not share with anyone? Those pivotal moments in your life which created the personality traits you have today. Maybe you would not share those memories because they hurt you.Like the pirate or the pioneer, these treasures I share with you in the following pages were still found by navigating the perilous terrain that is life. I will share the stories from my childhood that, if you were me, you might be inclined to keep to yourself. I will share reflections from the embarrassing moments of my teenage years, from the lies I told but wanted to take back, to the mistakes I wish I did not make. Those memories that I wish I could forget, I share them too.The people we look up to do not always share their failures in depth because failure hurts. The idea of sharing failures is an uncommon theme in our social-media society. We are connected more than ever through little moments in pictures, vlogs, and microblogging; attempting to solidify in our mind an idea of how success is created, how success should feel, and how success is lived.Yet, we are more than the little moments we decide to share. We are also the growing pains of our personal history.I hold nothing back. These stories embrace my authentic feelings and opinions concerning the events of my life. So, to ensure the anonymity of everyone included, I have changed the names of those involved. Some stories touch upon the best parts of my life. These same stories are also some of the worst parts of my life. They have broken me, built me up, and helped form who I am.There is so much we can learn from our personal history. We can find out why we act and think a certain way, why we like and dislike different types of people, even where our behaviors come from. My history also makes me complex, filled with inconsistencies and ridiculous beliefs. History generates layers of a personality. As I peel back some layers from my own personality, you may notice the layers of your own.By providing myself as an example for the thoughts and feelings we hide away - my treasures--you may notice the treasures of your own life.

The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.
This book outlines a comprehensive, collaborative approach to teaching students living with trauma, violence, and chronic stress that focuses on students' strengths and resiliency.
Where is your treasure? The scriptural teaching about money is clear, radical, and uncompromising -- and at odds with the practice of most people. This presents an uncomfortable question: do we change our lives in accordance with Scripture or do we change Scripture to fit our lives? Virgil Vogt argues that we undermine Scripture's authority when we disregard its teaching about wealth or when we conclude that such teaching cannot be applied in a complex, modern economy. The Bible, Vogt says, is still the best guide to economic life. Scripture teaches a consistent word about our possessions: we are to use the things we have to gain eternal riches. This teaching, coupled with the principle of stewardship, should govern our economic lives. But it takes courage along with genuine faith and a single-minded determination to live according to the Bible's standard in this area. 'Treasure in Heaven' offers a challenge for all Christians who want to bring their finances into line with God's Word.
