Download or read book Dance Me to the End written by Alison Acheson and published by Brindle and Glass. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profoundly honest and intensely personal story of a woman who cares for her husband after the devastating terminal diagnosis of ALS. Marty, age 57, was given a preliminary diagnosis of ALS by his family doctor. Seven weeks later, the diagnosis was confirmed by a neurologist. Ten months and ten days later, Marty passed away. From day one, Alison, Marty’s spouse of over twenty-five years, kept a journal as a way to navigate the overwhelming state of her mind and soul. Soon the rawness of her words harmonized to tell the story of Marty’s diagnosis, illness, and decline. Her journal became a chronicle of caregiving as well as an emotional exploration of the tensions between the intuitive and the pragmatic, the logical and illogical, and the all-consuming demands of being both spouse and nurse. Divided into short pieces, some of which reads as free verse, Alison’s words are at times profoundly intense and painfully private. The composition of the intricate notes of a life in its final movements includes another stanza of the journal that became Dance Me to the End: the guiding of children grappling with the imminent loss of a parent, and the shifting roles of family, friends, and community—all of which add their own complex rhythms. Dance Me to the End is an evocative memoir about the emotional impact of witnessing a loved one suffer from a neurological, degenerative, and terminal disease. This is a detailed account of grief, shock and pain coexisting with the levity, laughter and love shared with her husband and sons in those final months of Marty's life.

Book excerpt: Money, Come Dance with Me, is an invitation to live in the joy and delight of dancing with money as a loving guide and friend. Author, Gale West, invites the reader to consider money's pure potential as a dynamic, living, force field of love, connecting of peoples, cultures and marketplaces. Unfortunately, few can experience money in this way, because it's been imprisoned in an old paradigm of domination and greed. Thus, the pain and trauma created through money is not money's fault. Instead, it aches to be an agent for good in the world. West's international bestselling book brings a refreshing new look at money's place in our lives from both a spiritual and highly practical perspective. It invites the reader to constructively heal personal and ancestral money wounds, become conscious co-creators with Divine Source, and embrace joyous wealth as a way of life beyond more in the bank. Filled with stories and simple practical "dance steps," Money, Come Dance With Me, guides the reader on a powerful journey of transformation, welcoming money as a loving partner in the dance of life. "With her book, Money, Come Dance with Me, Gale West gives us all a gift that will keep giving for a lifetime! Gale goes deeper than I have ever seen on the energy of money and the idea that we are each interconnected with money in the same way we are with friends and family. I love Gale's rich offering of simple steps we can take to dramatically elevate our relationship with money. As a CEO and former financial advisor, I see the vast potential this book provides for each one of us and the organizations we treasure!" Claire Lachance, CEO, Institute of Noetic Sciences "You have a relationship with money, whether you are aware of it or not. It is driven by your beliefs about money and will strongly influence how money treats you. Gale West has spent decades exploring this territory, developing practices to help unload the burdensome ideas that keep money from becoming the lubricant it should be to manifest your sacred vision." Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, Creator, Internal Family Systems Model "Money, Come Dance with Me is an invitation to have a powerful personal relationship with money that is inspiring and transformative, empowering actions that will individually and collectively transport us from our current self-indulgent, exploitative, resource-destructive Death Economy to a collaborative, compassionate, resource-generative Life economy, where all will thrive. I highly recommend it." John Perkins, New York Times bestselling author, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
