Life Interrupted: Greater Success by Managing Life's Toughest Moments Also available in paperback! ISBN: 978-1-926863-51-1 (2nd Edition) In this guide, author Laurie M. Martin offers real-life examples, skill building tools, and practical information to prepare organizational leaders, managers and employees — each one of us in fact — to help ourselves and others through life’s interruptions. By including topics we’d rather ignore, Laurie not only increases our awareness of the strength of the human spirit, but also teaches us how to understand and help each other. It’s not every day you meet someone who can change your perspective about loss so quickly and with such compassion. When I first met Laurie, I was impressed that as an executive coach she is also a grief counsellor and a trauma specialist. Her years of experience plus her own personal losses resonated with me. It felt like she could help me with anything! I utilized her techniques and haven’t looked back. Laurie has a special talent when it comes to working with the tough issues that life brings to one’s professional and personal life. — J. Murphy, CEO, Golf Industry

Don't Cook Your Cabbage Twice ~ and other words of wisdon
by Nancy Louise Sell ISBN: 978-1-926863-12-2
My mother saw more, learned more, and felt more in her first ten years of life than I will ever comprehend. Life experience builds greater character and teaches deeper wisdom than any classroom can offer, and my mum has allowed those experiences to enrich her life! Maybe it’s those experiences and her zest for embracing life that make her a woman with a saying, a philosophy, and an opinion on everything. Most of the lessons my mother tried to teach me through her words of wisdom weren’t understood or appreciated until I entered adulthood. Don’t get me wrong: I heard what she was saying, I just wasn’t listening. The “ah ha” moments took some time; they came slowly. But my mum always allowed me to make my own mistakes—and I’ve made many—without ever once uttering an “I told you so” along the way. And trust me, she’s had plenty of opportunities! But my mum doesn’t cook her cabbage twice!!

by Sherry Levy ISBN: 978-1-926863-06-1 My beautiful wife Sherry, who I so greatly miss, unfortunately passed away of cancer on March 8, 2009. She was many, many things to those who knew and loved her, but one of her talents was writing. Sherry’s writing became her passion. Over the last 8 years of her life, she would write about her life experiences, nature, family etc. Sherry’s desire was always to put her writings in a book for myself, and our two beautiful children, Jennifer and Adam, to have to read and enjoy.

Homeopathy - A Manual for Mothers How to treat common health conditions in new moms, babies and children using homeopathic remedies. I have found myself on numerous occasions jumping to the aid of family members who asked me for treatment for health conditions. With my three daughters coming to the age of motherhood, I realized that the existing homeopathic texts available to treat families are either too difficult to understand or are geared more to Homeopaths. While most mothers rely on family doctors to treat their children, many mothers have approached me in frustration over recurring illnesses, treated too often with antibiotics and with no long term improvements. I feel that most common health conditions in children are better treated with Homeopathy as this system targets cause, individual personalities and individual experiences of illness. Treatment is safe, gentle and targets causes, not just symptoms.
