Scars We Called Home is a novel in verse and prose about two people who loved each other honestly and still could not stay.Told in alternating perspectives, the story follows The Withholder and The Expresser as they move from quiet safety to subtle erosion. Nothing catastrophic happens. No betrayal. No villain. Instead, the fracture grows in the space between logic and feeling, between silence and interpretation, between needing space and needing presence.He believes restraint is protection.She believes conversation is connection.Both are right. Both are wrong.As months pass, small adjustments become architecture: texts shorten, questions go unanswered beneath the surface, preferences shrink to fit available space. What begins as care slowly becomes misalignment. The love is real. The incompatibility is real. And neither cancels the other.Blending psychological depth with lyrical precision, this novel examines emotional armor, self-erasure, pride, accommodation, and the quiet ways people disappear inside relationships without meaning to.This is not a story about dramatic heartbreak. It is a story about two thoughtful adults who discover that love alone is not structural support.For readers who value introspection, emotional realism, and the courage of letting go, Scars We Called Home asks a difficult question:What if home was never the other person but the return to yourself?

Teaches practical methods to heal from trauma and realize a balanced sense of self to overcome emotional, mental, and physical ailments Gives practical techniques based on Core Shamanism, which finds its roots in the Indigenous traditions of the world such as the Australian Aborigines and the American First Nations Includes visualization exercises and guided meditations that are rooted in these ancient traditionsThe practice of shamanic soul retrieval has been transmitted orally among Indigenous cultures for 45,000 years and is among the oldest of healing techniques. Distilling her research and experience as a shaman and spiritual teacher, Lisa Biritz provides a practical guide to shamanic soul retrieval for our time.Biritz describes the soul as a sphere of light that is brightest when it is whole. Trauma, abuse, and negative life events can cause parts of the soul to split off, and this lowers ones self-esteem, energy, and light. The author explains how soul fragmentation also leads to a loss of life force and a diminished sense of self and this can give way to emotional, mental, and physical ailments.With a practical and accessible approach based on years of experience in shamanic healing, Biritz shares shamanic soul retrieval methods and techniques to help readers recover lost soul parts, heal, and return to wholeness. She emphasizes that this process does not require complicated rituals or trance states. Instead, she offers simple methods such as visualization exercises and guided meditations that are rooted in Indigenous traditions.Shamanism is an ancient and natural way to connect with the divine and the invisible world and anyone can learn to access this healing energy with the right techniques. Shamanic Soul Retrieval is a practical how-to guide that provides clear steps to help individuals restore their soul, regain balance, and experience a renewed sense of vitality and joy.

Ariels Journey: Meditation in Motion is a contemplative travel memoir that follows Ariel as she journeys to unfamiliar places not to seek adventure, but to learn how to be still. Moving slowly through remote landscapes wind-swept islands, ancient forests, high valleys, and quiet edge-places Ariel stays long enough for the land to begin teaching her. Each location becomes a meditation in itself, offering lessons not through instruction, but through presence, patience, and repetition. Rather than portraying meditation as effortless or serene, the book reveals the honest experience of learning to sit with restlessness, distraction, discomfort, and doubt. Ariels journaling forms the heart of the narrative, capturing unedited moments of resistance and small, hard-won clarity. Progress is subtle. Insight arrives quietly. Stillness is practiced, not achieved. As Ariel listens more deeply to the landscapes around her, she begins to recognize the same terrain within herself. The journey becomes less about movement across the world and more about learning how to remain with place, with breath, and with the present moment. This book is an invitation to slow down. To stop seeking transformation elsewhere. And to discover that meditation is not separate from life, but woven into every step we take when we are willing to stay.

The Declaration of Independence proclaims that "all men are created equal" and "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." For generations, those hallowed words inspired not only Americans, but millions around the globe. Yet today many Americans are skeptical or confused about the Declarations key claims. In this timely book, political scientist John G. West explores the original meaning of the Declaration and shows how its propositions drew support from both the Bible and early modern science. He then documents how science was later misused to overturn the Declarations teaching on equality, subvert its understanding of liberty, and justify the creation of a technocratic state that regulates us from cradle to grave. Finally, he reveals new scientific discoveries that are pointing us back to the truths expressed in the Declarationand he explains why it is urgent that our culture recover them.
