Doe Ray Me tells the story of three siblings from Downpatrick in Northern Ireland whose lives change forever following the death of their father. With their mother failing to cope and progressively turning to alcohol for comfort, each sibling is forced to discover diverging pathways through their remaining childhoods. Doe, the eldest, chooses escapism to live with relatives in England to pursue a career in nursing. Ray, the brother, disabled from birth, flounders in a world without security and protection. Me, the youngest and author of Doe Ray Me , finds new wings that are invariably clipped through a litany of personal hurts and injuries before being angelically restored. Doe Ray Me narrates reflectively through evocative storytelling, each sibling’s journey through life. In the still moments before death, Me takes the reader on a journey of laughter and tears, hurt and anger, reflection and joy, to discover not the meaning of life, but the meaning of life for Me. As a carer for most of her life, Me gives voice and insightfulness into the hidden world of carers, people who choose sacrifice and service over personal ambition or gratification to care and love those, for whom they care. Doe Ray Me is not a book of victims or survivors, heroes or heroines. It is a book about ordinary people that overcome quite extraordinary experiences but in so doing, discover the purpose and value for the life lived, the life chosen to be lived.

"Kick bad mental habits and toughen yourself up."—Inc. Master your mental strength—revolutionary new strategies that work for everyone from homemakers to soldiers and teachers to CEOs. Everyone knows that regular exercise and weight training lead to physical strength. But how do we strengthen ourselves mentally for the truly tough times? And what should we do when we face these challenges? Or as psychotherapist Amy Morin asks, what should we avoid when we encounter adversity? Through her years counseling others and her own experiences navigating personal loss, Morin realized it is often the habits we cannot break that are holding us back from true success and happiness. Indulging in self-pity, agonizing over things beyond our control, obsessing over past events, resenting the achievements of others, or expecting immediate positive results holds us back. This list of things mentally strong people don't do resonated so much with readers that when it was picked up by Forbes.com it received ten million views. Now, for the first time, Morin expands upon the thirteen things from her viral post and shares her tried-and-true practices for increasing mental strength. Morin writes with searing honesty, incorporating anecdotes from her work as a college psychology instructor and psychotherapist as well as personal stories about how she bolstered her own mental strength when tragedy threatened to consume her. Increasing your mental strength can change your entire attitude. It takes practice and hard work, but with Morin's specific tips, exercises, and troubleshooting advice, it is possible to not only fortify your mental muscle but also drastically improve the quality of your life.
