Foreword by Arlene R. Devries, M.S.E. A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children (2007), the quintessential compendium of raising gifted children, has been revised! In this new edition, coauthors Edward R. Amend Psy.D., Emily Kircher-Morris, LPC, and Janet Gore, M.Ed. reinforce the reliable approaches originally explored in the first edition, while drawing extensively on the wealth of research and information developed over the last 15 years in the areas of neuroscience, psychology, and education. Our children are navigating a world that in many crucial ways is quite different from the one that existed in 2007. The new Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children includes issues of social media, screen time, LGBTQ, and bullying. For gifted children however, many of the needs remain the same- advocacy, educational planning, access to true peers, and more. Rich in information and strategies, this edition will be referred to time and time again whether you are entirely new to gifted, completing your “active” parenting days, or supporting a gifted grandchild, student, or client. -
We are more divided than ever in too many aspects of life, and we too often feel various levels of emptiness while pushing to keep up or protect ourselves from all that is coming at us. Our Life, Our Work, Our Humanness explores our relationships with ourselves and others, and how our stressors and society’s negative influences affect and slowly tear us down. What helps is empowering yourself with more and easier options, so the bad effects you less and can even become a powerful lesson to greater peace. Bad will periodically happen to all of us. However, finding more goodness between the bad, and how we handle most of it, can become easier. We, and our lives, are built of emotions, relationships, concerns, expectations, harsh realities, and painfully even politics. Vincent is trusting us to open-up about his thirty-four years of front-line public service in both emergency nursing and law enforcement. He then trusts us further to look at our shared difficulties and tragedies as humans, his personal life mistakes, lessons, observations, and what made it all easier. He validates our issues and pains, then quickly moves to solution-based concepts and functional tools to tame our life stressors. We are human, and that is a messy condition. Sometimes bad is just bad. Yet, seeing and working with the bad from new perspectives can often help it be much less bad. This book is for those who want less conflict and more joy, exploration, and ease. -
"Other people are not meant to love us in the exact way we think they should; they are meant to set up a healing ceremony at which we learn to love ourselves." Ceremony is a collection for those on the cusp of becoming. It is a reminder that we were not meant to fit into this world perfectly, but to live in such a way that might forge a path all our own. It is a reminder that we are one with each other and nature itself. It is a reminder that we contain within us the latent potential of every future possibility we can conceive of. It is a reminder that we often must release what is not ours in order to receive what is, that we are all born with a unique imprint to leave upon the world, and that self-love is not an infatuation, but a homecoming. Ceremony is a book written around the idea that the most unlikely moments are often the very ones offering us a chance to meet ourselves more deeply; it is a book for the ones who are ready to stop waiting and wondering, and dive all the way into who they were meant to be. -
On the other side of the life you are trying to keep together, on the other side of the pain you think will never dissolve into peace, on the other side of everything you are forcing—is the life that is waiting. The life where you are not pushed by your fears, but moved by your vision. The life where the right things arrive, and remain, and you do not have to contort your truth to make them so. The life where you are actually living, not just waiting to begin. The life that is really yours. The life you arrive to the end of with tired eyes and a full heart. The life that you are proud of. The life that you actually want. The life that is gently asking you to let go, and see it. The life that's been waiting, all this time, for you to arrive.

You deserve to wholeheartedly love yourself and your life. You deserve to break free from your past and the hurt it has held you in for too long. You deserve to find whole healing and full freedom from any darkness that tries to take your light. You deserve to finally find the peace your soul has been searching for. You deserve to see yourself as someone who is beautiful––you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t meant to be precisely the person you are. You deserve to be loved by someone who loves you with unconditional love––the kind of love you have always dreamed of. I hope you never tell yourself that you are worth nothing because you are worth everything. Sometimes life is beautiful and then unimaginably difficult, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be beautiful again. You can’t wait until life doesn’t hurt anymore to choose to believe you deserve more. You can’t wait until you feel ready to start stepping towards your dreams. You deserve to find everything you’re looking to get out of this precious life. More than anything I just hope you know that you deserve to be here, now. The world would never be the same without you. -
Finding Flow provides readers with a simple process to reclaim a close, playful relationship with God. This book adds a spiritual element to the current discussions by psychologists, athletes, and creatives about "flow," which author brian plachta defines as being one with the Divine Spirit who opens our hearts, allowing us to experience inner peace, balance, and wholeness. Finding Flow offers doable spiritual practices organized around: 1. Solitude: establishing rituals to spend daily "quiet time" to deepen our relationship with God 2. Spiritual reading: delving into books that teach and inspire 3. Community: surrounding ourselves with people who nudge us to grow 4. Contemplative Action: discovering our unique gifts and talents and using them to make the world a better place These practices derive from the tradition of Saint Benedict, a fifth-century father of the Church who required his monks to establish a Rule of Life consisting of daily balance between prayer and work (ora et labora). Finding Flow takes Benedict's timeless wisdom, recrafts it with modern language and personal stories, and makes the monk's wisdom accessible to today's readers. +
