Book Rushing to Sunset

Download or read book Rushing to Sunset written by Judythe Patberg and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the preface to Rushing to Sunset, the author says, This isnt a book about aging, but it could be. Im anxious about the aging thing... My fear is feeling and acting old... She goes on to describe two extreme physical and mental challenges she undertook at different times in her lifeone when she was young and the other when she was old but felt young. She was twenty-six years old when she agreed to accompany a medical student on a thirty-day, three-hundred-fifty-mile trek to the Base Camp at Mt. Everest, with no training or hiking experience. Forty-one years later, at age sixty-seven, she hiked from the South Rim to the North Rim and back to the South Rim in Grand Canyon. At the time of the Himalayan invitation, the author was in Kathmandu, not expecting anything to happen. But when an opportunity to get off the beaten path presented itself, she eagerly accepted. The Grand Canyon experience happened because she was ready for the chance to prove that she wasnt too old for an adrenalin-driven adventure, that her body could still work for her. While the settings were different, the result was the same: the author accomplished something that made her feel incredibly strong and good. She felt wonder and amazement at the ability of her body to endure extreme challenges at both a young and an old age. In that respect, the book could be about aging after all.

Book The Years Come and Go

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors goal in writing this book was to preserve the contents of her mothers journals and calendars, as well as her reflections about life and spiritual matters, so that future generations can have a glimpse of the everyday life of Margaret Pearson, a woman who loved God, her family, and the farm she lived in for seventy years. The Years Come and Go is primarily a contribution to a family legacy, but it will also be of interest to anyone who enjoys reading memoirs about the ordinary lives of extraordinary people. Margaret Pearson wrote as she lived, with a soft heart for all living things, a profound trust in God for His mercy, and boundless gratitude for the people in her life. This book could also serve as a reference guide for settling disputes about the weather in Northern Minnesota on a particular day during the years of 1989 to 2015.

Book Five Lives Remembered

Download or read book Five Lives Remembered written by Dolores Cannon and published by Ozark Mountain Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BEGINNING What do you do when you discover information that is before its time? What do you do when your curiosity takes you on an adventure that is so bizarre that there is nothing "normal" to relate to? This is what happened to Dolores Cannon in 1968, long before she began her career as a past-life hypnotherapist and regressionist. Travel back with us to that time when the words "reincarnation, past-lives, regression, walk-ins, New Age" were unknown to the general population. This is the story of two normal people, who accidentally stumbled across past-lives while working with a doctor to help a patient relax. It began so innocently, yet it crossed the boundaries of the imagination to open up an entirely new way of thinking at a time when such a thing was unheard of. It went totally against the belief systems of the time. It was so startling that they should have stopped, but their curiosity demanded that they continue to explore the unorthodox. The experiment changed the participants and everyone involved, and their beliefs would never be the same. Dolores Cannon is now a world-renowned hypnotherapist who has explored thousands of cases in the forty years since 1968, and has written fifteen books about her discoveries. Her books are translated into more than 20 languages. She is teaching her unique form of hypnosis all over the world. When she lectures people ask, "How did you get started on all of this?" This is the story of her beginnings. The book was written in 1980, her very first book. It has laid dormant, gathering dust, until now, waiting. Now is the time for it to come forth. Enjoy the adventure!
