The guy who can be whatever he needs to be The girl who wants to stand on her own Fun and fast…light and easy And a dream that just might come true Eli Graham grew up in foster care, and always tried his best to fit in. He’s a people-pleaser, and his talent and temperament bring him success in his sales career at Chapman Financial. He never lets anybody see the lonely guy he hides behind his charm and sparkle. Or the hope for family and connection he can’t seem to shake. Caro Richmond owns her own bakery in Cypress Corners, creating new recipes and trying new things at least where her baking is concerned. She suffered a heartbreaking loss three years ago, but it isn’t the loss of her fiancé that haunts her. Work is her focus now. She’ll leave the living to somebody else. When Eli comes to work in Cypress, he’s immediately taken with Caro. She’s gorgeous, but she also seems like she needs some fun in her life. He’s just the guy to give it to her, and the annual Fall Festival would be a great place to start. They begin to date, and both of them start to think this might be more than just fun and easy. Can Eli trust that what he’s feeling is something real? Or is he just dreaming of a future he can never have?

Book The Eli s Cheesecake Cookbook

Download or read book The Eli s Cheesecake Cookbook written by Maureen Schulman and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated and expanded edition of The Eli’s Cheesecake Cookbook, released in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Eli’s Cheesecake. The story of Eli’s Cheesecake began more than forty years ago. It rose to prominence originally as the featured dessert at one of Chicago’s most popular restaurants: Eli’s The Place for Steak, a classic steakhouse, pillar of the city’s culinary community, and noted celebrity watering hole. This book details the storied history of one of the nation’s most famous desserts, all the way from Eli Schulman’s first cheesecake to President Obama’s 50th birthday cake to the creation of four towering, 2,000 lb. cheesecakes served at inaugural festivities in Washington, DC. The second edition of the Eli's Cheesecake Cookbook has been fully expanded and updated in honor of the 40th anniversary of Eli's Cheesecake. In addition to the classics featured in the first edition, the new edition features even more cheesecake recipes, including Basque, Cherry Vanilla, Hawaiian, Carrot Cake Cheesecake, and Holiday Cheesecake Dippers―one of Oprah's Favorite Things. You'll also find many more signature dishes from Eli’s The Place for Steak, including Chicken Vesuvio, Pepper Steak, Corned Beef Hash, Potato Pancakes, and French Onion Soup, and an all-new chapter showcasing Eli's bakers from around the world sharing their favorite family recipes. Because of his unique baking process, Eli Schulman is often credited with putting “Chicago-style” cheesecake, richer and creamier than its New York counterpart, on the map. This collection will allow home cooks to make the same cheesecakes that helped celebrate five Chicago Mayoral inaugurations, Abraham Lincoln’s bicentennial, the City of Chicago’s 150th birthday, Illinois' Bicentennial, Hamilton the Musical, the NBA All Star Game, the White Sox World Series, and more. As Eli Schulman might say, it’s a helluva book.

Book The Dream Thieves

Download or read book The Dream Thieves written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-04-07 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dream Thieves Dream thieves steal people's aspirations until they encounter a dream so powerful, it threatens the fabric of their reality. In Summary: In "The Dream Thieves," the beautiful town of Aspira is shown to be a place where dreams are more than just scary images. This delicate balance is threatened by the Dream Thieves, mysterious beings from another world who eat dreams and disappear where happiness and creativity used to grow. In this case, Eli, a young resident of Aspira, is in the middle of a trip that will change his life. The Dream Thieves are interested in his visions because they are bright and full of healing and inspiration. This starts an epic story that will ultimately decide everyone's fate. As the story goes on, Eli's run-in with the Dream Thieves sets him on a mission to find out what dreams are really about and get back his stolen dreams. His journey shows how the dream and real worlds are complicatedly connected, and he has to find his way through a road full of danger, new discoveries, and the chance to meet new people. The Dream Thieves change from enemies to friends in the end because Eli keeps believing in the power of dreams and wants to make things right for everyone. Because they had hurt the Heart of Dreams, which is where all dream power in Aspira comes from, they set out to fix it. The most important part of the story is Eli's huge sacrifice: he gives up part of his own dream to save the dying Heart of Dreams. In both areas, it shows how powerfully personal dreams can affect the well-being of everyone. The Dream Thieves' future is changed by this brave and selfless act. Not only does it restore the flow of dreams, but it also forces them to become Protectors of Dreams, watching over the dream realm in case it is threatened again. The sad ending of "The Dream Thieves" is a bittersweet reminder of how dreams can bring about change, heal wounds, and bring people together. By following Eli's journey, readers are encouraged to think about how their own goals relate to reality and how they can work together to change it. Aspira wakes to a new era of peace and creativity. The story has a timeless lesson about how important it is to love and protect our dreams because they are the seeds from which amazing things can grow. Chapter 1: The Amazing Dream of Eli. This was the first dream of its kind that Eli had ever had. Not only was he drawn to the city's beautiful textures and bright colors, but he was also drawn to the never-ending thrill and freedom he felt as he explored this amazing world. If you remember Eli's dream, he was on top of a cloud and looked down at a city that seemed to defy gravity. They were connected by bridges that looked like they were made of light and hung loosely in the air. They were made of bright materials that he wasn't sure what they were. There were buses and flying cars buzzing around him in the sky. They darted between buildings like fish in a river. The animals that roamed the city streets and sky, on the other hand, were what made this dream unique. These animals weren't like other animals; they talked to people like people, telling stories about their adventures and meeting people who came by. Eli remembers seeing a dog that could run faster than the flying cars and a cat whose wings sounded like old stories and whose laughter could be heard in the wind. When Eli woke up, his heart was still racing from an exciting dream. He lay in bed for a while, holding on to the dim memories of the city in the sky and the people who lived there. When Eli opened his eyes, he thought he might be back in the dream because it felt so real and solid. Eli felt he had to talk about what he had seen, even though the dream details were blurring and scenes from his own room were taking their place. He wasn't sure if his friends would believe him when he told them about the flying city and the talking animals, or if they would just think it was another dream. However, Eli knew that this dream was different. It didn't seem like something out of his mind; it was like a doorway into a world that was linked to his own in some way. The town of Aspira, where Eli lived, needed some magic. It had slowly lost its shine and life, and now there was a pall of darkness around it. It was hard for the people of Aspira to live happy lives because their daily lives were so boring and hard. The streets of town were not as busy as they used to be, and kids laughing wasn't heard very often. Eli had always thought that Aspira was missing something, something that could bring back the wonder and joy that had faded over time. While Eli thought about his dream, he began to wonder if Aspira needed a reminder of the magic in the world, the magic that could make the town happy again. Eli hurried to meet his friends because he was excited and wanted to tell them about his idea. His passionate story about his dream, which included detailed accounts of floating buildings, flying cars, and animals that talked, wowed his coworkers. They paid close attention as Eli told them about a world full of magic and excitement. Aspira seemed to suddenly feel better as they sat together. The sadness that had been there seemed to lift, and a glimpse of hope and promise took its place. What Eli dreamed brought back the wonder and joy that his friends had lost for too long. They talked about their own dreams and told each other about strange animals and places they had seen in their sleep. They could believe in the impossible again after Eli's dream seemed to have opened a door. They thought that Eli's dream might not have been a dream at all as they talked. It could have been a challenge to them to find the magic in their own lives and bring it back to Aspira. In response to Eli's idea, they came up with a plan. Instead of in the sky, they were going to build their own flying city on Aspira. They would start with small projects like making models of flying structures and their own talking animals to bring some of Eli's ideas to life. Each project was meant to bring the wonder and happiness that Eli's dream had given them to as many people in the town as possible. It was their time to work when something amazing happened. Aspira's population grew because Eli and his friends were happy and interested. By stating their own goals and ideas, they added their knowledge and creativity to the movement that was already strong. The town slowly changed from being dead and boring to busy and creative. Paintings on the walls showed scenes from Eli's dream, and the talking animal statues in the town square made everyone happy. Eli's wonderful dream had started a movement in Aspira and given him a short break from real life. People in the town were told that magic isn't just in dreams, but also in the strength of groups and creativity. Aspira's streets went from being sad to being full of hope because of them. They brought Eli's skyscraper city to life. Eli realized that remembering what a place used to be is sometimes better than trying to change it. As the town began to come to life with the spirit of the dream, he realized this. Chapter 2: The Burglars in the Venereal Area It was dark and strange in the peaceful town of Aspira, and something bad was going on. The Dream Thieves, a name for a group of mysterious and interesting people, walked quietly through the streets. They moved through the darkness with a grace that was both beautiful and scary. Their presence was almost ghostly, and you could feel it more than see it. These were not your average thieves; instead, they were looking for the most valuable and mysterious things in people. What they hoped for. They used ethereal nets and gadgets from an unknown world to record the dreams of the people who slept in Aspira. They were driven by need, not greed or spite. Dreams were more than just mental illusions for them; they were an important part of their world, like how air and water are for us. In the Dream Thieves' country, people's dreams became real. Over time, this fabric had started to fray and fall apart, which put their world's future at risk. To fix it, they needed dreams from people, full of color and feeling. The Dream Thieves waited for the Aspira people to go to sleep every night so they could steal their dreams, which rose up like smoke. These dreams ranged from normal to strange, from vivid memories of the previous day to trips into the future to places no one had been before. For the Dream Thieves, every dream was an important resource because it gave them energy to keep their world going for a little while longer. As they moved around Aspira, the Dream Thieves worked quickly but with respect for the dreams they stole. They knew how much the things they stole were worth and how their acts had hurt the people they borrowed from. But they were in great need, and the survival of their country was in danger. Aspira started to change a little with each dream that was written down. People in town felt like their mornings were missing something, but they couldn't put their finger on it. The intense dreams they had seemed to fade, leaving them with an unsettling feeling of emptiness and pain. They felt like something had cast a shadow over who they were, making them less inspired, happy, and living. Even though there was ethereal silence after the Dream Thieves' visits, people in Aspira were getting restless. They talked in whispers about their dying dreams, telling stories of lost adventures at night and strangely sad mornings. Some people started to wonder if the Dream Thieves stories, which had been written off as lies before, might actually be true. Could there really be beings that only lived in people's dreams, wiping out wonder and imagination in the process? The thought scared and interested the people in the town, who were all interested in the mysterious people who walked the streets at night. The bad guys in this story, though, were not the Dream Thieves. In their society, taking dreams was not a crime, that was okay. It was a heavy duty that was taken on in the hopes that one day there would be no need to take from people, that their reality could be fixed, and that their worlds would be balanced again. They wished there was a way for everyone to live together and enjoy the beauty of dreams without putting anyone in danger or using up all their resources. During their nighttime walks, each dream they gathered had a whispered plea for peace, understanding, and a time when dreams can freely move between their world and the human world.

Download or read book Ed Not Eddie written by Max Everhart and published by Down & Out Books. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ed Leviner, a young female pitcher who’s broken every collegiate pitching record, is desperate to make it to the Major Leagues. But someone in the idyllic Southern town of Cook, South Carolina, has threatened to kill her if she pitches in her next big game. Which is in a few days. Which doesn’t give private eye and ex-ballplayer Eli Sharpe much time to identify the source of these threats. Ed has lots of admirers but few friends and several enemies and detractors in this conservative community. Then there’s her feuding divorced parents, her spurned tutor, a disgraced coach turned evangelical minister, and the local sheriff, a bully whose son is one of Ed’s discarded boyfriends. Though local law enforcement is oddly unhelpful, Eli is not alone in his search for answers. The TV news team covering the protests is headed up a beautiful anchorwoman from Eli’s past. Is she on his side or not? As usual, Eli is busy raising hackles in a town where there’s more than one mad dog in disguise. Praise for ED, NOT EDDIE: “Max Everhart writes a great story with the twists and turns required for a solid mystery, but the home run in Ed, Not Eddie is his ability to craft dynamite characters. From the wisecracking protagonist Eli Sharpe to the walk-on characters with only a single line, Everhart invents a unique voice for everyone. If this is your first foray into the Eli Sharpe mystery series, Ed, Not Eddie will have you scrambling to catch up with books one and two.” —Elena Hartwell, author of the Eddie Shoes Mystery series “Ed, Not Eddie is the best written of the Eli Sharpe mysteries. There are strong characters with an intriguing plot. Best of all the narrative flows smoothly. Pages glide by. It has the potential to be a breakthrough book for Everhart.” —Suspense Magazine

Book The Spirituality of Dreaming

Download or read book The Spirituality of Dreaming written by Kelly Bulkeley and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1st Place Winner of the Chanticleer International Book Awards 2023 in Mind & Spirit category Enhance your dreaming with groundbreaking research and wisdom from vivid dreamers throughout history, sacred texts, and the present day. We're asleep almost a third of our lives. What if those sleeping hours hold wisdom, creativity, and even connection with the divine? What if our dreams offer spiritual insight and guidance—not just for ourselves, but for our communities? In The Spirituality of Dreaming, leading dream scholar and expert Dr. Kelly Bulkeley brings us a set of time-honored methods to stimulate innate dreaming capacities and amplify their impact in our waking lives. Dreams have been a perennial source of spiritual insight and guidance across all cultures and religions throughout history, he asserts, but the sacred energy of our dreams has often remained untapped. Relying on years of research, data analysis, and interviews, Bulkeley offers wisdom and strategies from "big dreamers"--people who have vivid, intense dreams and remember them. He also distills the latest findings on dreams: the impact of digital technologies on our dreams, the phenomena of lucid dreaming and dreaming incubation, practices of dream-sharing, the creative role of dreams in cultural innovation, and the growing evidence that animals dream too. In conversation with people who care about dreams and spirituality, Bulkeley makes a case for taking ourselves seriously as dreaming visionaries. By drawing on classic and contemporary works of theology, anthropology, and psychology, along with the latest dream research, Bulkeley maps the spiritual power of dreaming and argues that our dreams matter in ways we do not yet fully realize, both individually and collectively. Together we can learn how to unlock the sacred truths revealed within our sleeping selves.
