Download or read book Living the Soul Dolce Vita written by Leanna Burns and published by Summerland Publishing. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leanna Burns, who writes about the soul and the ?letting go? process, is at it again. Only this time, it is not about letting go of the weight (?From A to Z: Feed Your Soul and Lose the Weight?), nor is it about letting go of society's mythical standard of physical beauty (?Soul Beautiful, Naturally). ?Living the Soul Dolce Vita? is about letting go of your ?stuff? -- the stuff that gets in the way of soul communication, acknowledgment and recognition. This book is not just about having a garage sale and releasing a few household items that no longer interest you. It is about getting interested in your soul, and making room for it in your crowded and busy life. When your soul defines who you are versus the trappings of your life doing so, then you will be truly ?Living the Soul Dolce Vita.?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italy’s economic expansion after World War Two triggered significant social and cultural change. Secularization accompanied this development and triggered alarm bells across the nation’s immense Catholic community. The Devil and the Dolce Vita is the story of that community – the church of Popes Pius XII, John XXIII and Paul VI, the lay Catholic Action association, and the Christian Democratic Party – and their efforts in a series of culture wars to preserve a traditional way of life and to engage and tame the challenges of a rapidly modernizing society. Roy Domenico begins this study during the heady days of the April 1948 Christian Democratic electoral triumph and ends when pro-divorce forces dealt the Catholics a defeat in the referendum of May 1974 where their hopes crashed and probably ended. Between those two dates Catholics engaged secularists in a number of battles – many over film and television censorship, encountering such figures as Roberto Rossellini, Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. The Venice Film Festival became a locus in the fight as did places like Pozzonovo, near Padua, where the Catholics directed their energies against a Communist youth organization; and Prato in Tuscany where the bishop led a fight to preserve church weddings. Concern with proper decorum led to more skirmishes on beaches and at resorts over modest attire and beauty pageants. By the 1960s and 1970s other issues, such as feminism, a new frankness about sexual relations, and the youth rebellion emerged to contribute to a perfect storm that led to the divorce referendum and widespread despair in the Catholic camp.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leanna Burns, author of many great SOULful books, * is currently working on a new book titled Shop Your Soul at Christmas. This book has twelve chapters that correspond to the verses of the The Twelve Days Of Christmas. And yet, the soul self-help lesson in each chapter is really something that should be heeded (no matter the occasion) throughout the year. The reason it is a Christmas book, per se, is because that is the holiday whereby our human characteristics overrided our being qualities and someone died as a result. The book honors that and draws attention to that time of year, rather than speaking of other kinds of holidays.

Book excerpt: Leanna Burns, author of From A to Z: Feed Your Soul and Lose the Weight, Soul Beautiful, Naturally, and Living the Soul Dolce Vita, now brings us this unique guide to making your soul wishes come true. We arrive on this planet as soul wishers, yet over time we may stop making soul wishes for one reason or another. And this is not a good thing, since soul wishes are so full of good and benefit all of us on our journey. Naturally, what benefits each and every one of us benefits this planet we live on. This would have to be the number one reason for making soul wishes in that they help to make the world a better place. Leanna Burns considers soul wishes to be an integral part of every soul's journey here on earth. And as such they are the way in which a soul learns and grows and progresses forward. The assistance of soul wishes from other souls intermingled with our own individual soul wishes bring this process about. Soul wishes help to lead each soul to its destiny.
