Download or read book The Sun the Moon the Stars and Maya written by Rich Okun and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sun, the Moon, the Stars and Maya is very different kind of book, in a unique format and richly textured with over 90 full color original illustrations and is one of those truly rare books that can be enjoyed equally by a child and a grown-up and most of all both a child and adult together. This book will surprise and delight you and your family and makes the perfect gift. Our lives are bombarded with things that can take us away from the special connections we are capable of. Each of us has the ability to demonstrate love, compassion, gratitude, and generosity. We can choose to live our lives by the Golden Rule. We can make time to appreciate the exquisite construction of our planet and experience the joys of nature. We can look toward the star-spangled heavens, appreciate the velvet silence, and draw peace from spirituality. We have the ability to find beauty in simplicity, and we can marvel at the complexity of what, at first glance, appears deceptively simple. Many of us have just forgotten how. In today's busy, electronics-oriented world, dominated by distractions, special effects, and noisy shoot-'em-ups, simple earth-based spiritual and moral issues have been effectively obscured from view and buried in the smoky haze of the fiery explosion of computer-generated images. The Sun, the Moon, the Stars, and Maya was created to help families discuss important issues with their children. Illustrations of Maya, the Shih Tzu puppy muse, in complementary settings, accompany bits of wisdom relating to spiritual and moral issues. Notable quotations are the inspiration for Maya's simple-language lyrical interpretations meant to evoke awe and wonder in all things and capture the imagination of the child and the child within the parent. Access to downloadable hi-resolution downloads and audio readings online and so much more are also granted with your purchase.

Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals.

Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.

She's bossy, arrogant, demanding, and she keeps sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. But that doesn't mean he hasn't noticed that she's sexy as hell, and he can't decide what he hates more: the woman herself, or how much he wants her. Because as much as she drives him crazy, he can't stop fantasizing about her. Aerin Stone is tired of being strong. As a successful sports agent at the top of her game, she spends her days fighting for her clients. But she spends her nights nursing her broken heart, trying to put the pieces of her life back together after her divorce. She's not looking for love, but when cocky, sex-on-a-stick Javier Flores offers her one night of incredible sex after a game of truth or dare, she jumps at the chance. For one night, she lets dominant Javi take over, and she's shocked to find that letting the sexy, dirty talking single dad boss her around is exactly what she needs. With Javi, she doesn't need to be strong. With Javi, she feels completely cared for in a way that both thrills and terrifies her. Even though they both hate how good it feels, one night isn't enough. Javi wants more, and they agree to see their attraction through until the fire between them burns out. But seeing a softer side of Aerin has Javi wanting her not just in his bed, but in his life. Which could be complicated, given that his life includes an ex-wife and an ongoing custody battle for his two daughters. Aerin doesn't know if she's willing to take another chance on love, especially with someone as complicated as Javi, but life might pull them apart before she has the chance to decide...
