Gloria stretched out her hand and helped her onto the roof. The three women exchanged a look together as they heard how someone opened the entrance from the museum. The alarm bell stopped her sound. Hurry up! Jacky pushed Laura and Gloria over to the other rope from the helicopter. Gloria squeezed the picture, which she had stolen under her arm and climbed up the rope. Laura had it more difficult: She threw the clothes about her shoulder and fastened them on to her belt. Then she pulled herself up the rope. Stop Police! Hands up! a voice sounded loud over the roof. Jacky turned around. A man hung on the rope what they had needed to come into the museum and out. He grabbed the frame in order to come onto the roof. Climb up!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four-week plan for hormonal health that will stabilize your hormones and make you feel like yourself again. One of the most common and agonizing problems women face today is hormonal imbalance. Sometimes it’s a nightmarish premenstrual syndrome – depression, cravings, bloating, weight gain, irritability, and even out-of-control rage for up to three weeks each month. Sometimes it’s periods so painful that you have to arrange your entire life around your cycle. Sometimes it’s a rocky passage into perimenopause that changes everything you know about yourself and your body. Luckily, you can resolve these hormonal issues – you just need accurate, actionable information to do so. In Is It Me or My Hormones?, Marcelle Pick, author of The Core Balance Diet and Is It Me or My Adrenals?, delves into the often misunderstood world of female hormonal imbalance. Sharing her personal struggles and her experiences with patients, Marcelle helps you understand how the right diet, exercise, supplements, herbs, and psychological support, occasionally complemented with bioidentical hormones, can free you from hormone disruption. After walking you through the basic science of how your hormones affect your body, mind, and emotions, Marcelle lays out an accessible, easy-to-follow, four-week plan for hormonal health – complete with schedules, exercises, supplements, meal plans, and recipes – that will stabilize your hormones in just one month and make you feel like yourself again. It’s hard to imagine what a huge impact your diet, your lifestyle, your thoughts, and your hormones can have on your health and well-being. Unlike many medical professionals, Marcelle knows that your symptoms aren’t "just a normal part of being a woman" or "not that big a deal." And in this book, she validates your experience of hormonal imbalance and opens your eyes to the power you have over your health. So join Marcelle on this journey to implement simple, natural changes that will help eliminate your cravings, depression, mood swings, and weight gain, and make you feel energized, sexual, and in command of your life! "By paying attention to hormonal balance, you can sail through your 40s and 50s as an energetic, sensuous, and sexually alive woman, reaping the benefits of age and experience while enjoying the vitality of youth." -- Marcelle Pick
