My Life and Other Recipes The Journey; from survival to self-care - Renee Baribeau

My book, My Life and Other Recipes, weaves my personal journey from childhood, to cooking school, to owning my first restaurant, being swallowed alive by corporate America, and coming back out again into the world of healing myself and others. It is the story of how I was able to mix ingredients like neglect and abuse during childhood, the craziness of growing up with addiction, then living with it myself, and the rituals of various spiritual traditions into a stew that has become a bountiful feast to nourish me and others as well.

When I was twenty years old, I discovered quite by accident that I was a natural cook and that my destiny was unraveling towards a career in food and entertaining others. Cooking was a double-edged sword in my life and, while I believe whole-heartedly it saved me from an early death with drugs and alcohol, it became the sole determination of my self-worth for years.

This book is a self-help memoir that will make you laugh, cry, and, I hope, get you to look at your own stories: the myths that have created your favorite recipes for living. As you read this story, you will see that the healing which can take place in your life and the life of others united by food is monumental. Each episode begins with a ritual, followed by a story, and then a recipe. The recipes are included because I believe that only by coming once again to our tables will we bridge the isolation of our current lifestyle.

A Blog named Woo Aliens only abduct schizophrenics and liars - Deva Sona

Before we see the stars darkness must fall.
When it did I wrote a blog.

In September 2008 my daughter went to school. What happened when she arrived left her in fear for her life. Too terrified to return home. Refusing contact with everyone she knew. After a year of refusing to deal with life threatening abuse the system turned to me. Saying that it was myself that caused my daughter harm, by my "unusual" spiritual beliefs. Beliefs rooted in "Conversations with God" by NDW. Beliefs that professionals could not say what they actually involved. Beliefs of being personally responsible for our experiences, connected to all things as one. Belief in Love.

In a violation of Human Rights my daughter was removed from my care and her abusers sent home from court. Leaving a child in the hands of her perpetrators, and out of her Mother's arms. Leaving a Mother hoping they never found out the real journey we had been on. A Journey that took us both through incredible spiritual awakenings. Bringing experiences of demons, angels, aliens and god, along with many unanswered questions to our door. Leaving me as a Mother wondering when and how to discuss our life together. But the choice was removed. Along with my child, who was led to believe that my belief in creation made me dangerous and ill. Our bond of love and incredible experience was ridiculed and made wrong. Stamping on a Mother's broken heart, taking out her child.

Life was no longer what I had lived and believed it to be. My rights were violated, my body assaulted, my daughter abused and professionals would not assist. I discovered other families were also loosing their children in violations by child protection officers and family courts. Silenced by threats of imprisonment and discredited by false diagnoses of mental illness. Abusing medicine to obtain control.

I entered a world that I could not believe. One that only I could set myself free from.

After an emergency court hearing shut down my website. Court papers were thrown in the garden prohibiting me from speaking out, and everything I did was used as evidence in court. The only place left that I could safely speak was to myself on a secret blog. A blog that when discovered by hungry solicitors was also brought into court.

A blog named Woo is the journal of a Mother waking up in hell, trying to making peace with the devil himself, and the other things that go bump in the night.

A Journal of a girl, moving through this world as a Woman, a Mother and deeply impacted Spiritual Child. Trying to figure it all out. Making love with pirates on the way.

The Clarion Light Beings of 911 & Beyond A Journey of the Continuance of Life - Christine Thum-DeFebo

he main focus of this book is about an online meditation group I started with the same title assisting the souls of the 911 Tragedies to heal but in turn, it was a healing hand being given from the Angels of 911 to help the Earth in her transition.

The first part of the book is about my inner journey and how I was able to communicate these energies - my own healing path. Within this section there will be spiritual tools to help others to connect to the world of Spirit. The second part will be a group of meditations that I have done for the past 8 years. The third, and last part of the book is how I healed spiritually through the whole process as I connected more deeply with the Creative Source of Oneness. I will include a CD with the prayers and visualization to go to the Temple of 911 along with pertinent transmissions from the group.
