Bare Naked Bliss: ...Loving From Within by Suzanne Toro

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Bare Naked Bliss tells the story of one woman's real-life experiences that many people can relate to, and provides accessible, practical methods for overcoming both mental and physical hardships and finding true joy. Bare Naked Bliss is a book that appeals to women and men who have experienced hardships and/or are seeking a more balanced, authentic lifestyle, as well as the broader audience of both men and women of all ages interested in spiritual growth and alternative paths to wellness. 

Bare Naked Bliss provides simple tools anyone can use to break down mental barriers, find deeper connections and discover their inner joyful, authentic self.  The teachings of the book are extended through inspiring poetry, guided meditations and music created by Toro with Apl.de.Ap, singer/songwriter Anne Heaton, and other professional musicians.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
In Bare Naked Bliss, author Suzanne Toro tells her personal story of recovery and transformation; how she was able to overcome unbearable pain and find bliss within herself. Both an inspiring meditation and practical guidebook, the book gives readers real-life strategies for healing and experiencing more joy in their lives. Through telling her own stories of recovery, Toro explores the subjects of letting go, tapping into the power of silence, balancing the masculine and feminine energies within us, having compassion and the regenerative power of laughter.

Suzanne Toro has suffered many hardships; sexual abuse, losing a child and dealing with a loved one's serious illness-but she has used each one as an opportunity to learn more about her and earn a real life PhD in personal growth. With a young family, Toro needed to find a practical, realistic way to begin her own healing and liberation process. By employing simple tools in her everyday life, she was able to reconnect with her inner-self and release the pain that led her back to her true self. Now; she is committed to embodying authenticity and walking the talk by reaching out to local, national and global communities to share her vision.

Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living by Suzanne Saxe-Roux and Jean P. Roux

Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living, A Story and Life Guidebook set in San Francisco and the south of France, is a story and life guidebook featuring a dual-career professional couple with a young daughter who took the risk to go in search of what was truly important to them. At its heart is a love of family and the desire for quality of life. This book will inspire you to manifest your dreams and provide immediate actions you can take to create a life of good health, balance and joy.

Candid and inspiring, Suzanne and Jean- Pierre willingly acknowledge that the American Dream, as they were brought up to believe, has changed and the cost to one’s family, one’s health, and one’s own well-being can only be sustained for a period of time, not for 40 years or more. Along with millions of stressed out, busy professionals, Suzanne and Jean tell a great story and provide a life guidebook that is full of courageous and simple changes that can help us all create the lifestyles we want to live wherever we are.

Suzanne and Jean are late baby boomers, highly educated professionals who had a daughter late in life after 17 years of marriage. They have a life many would envy, but it hasn’t helped them live the life they so desire – a perfectly balanced life. What they have learned by living in a small village in the south of France is that there are many simple ways to bring joie de vivre into your daily family life and at the same time some changes require a great deal of courage and patience, but all are possible.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
The husband and wife team, Suzanne Saxe-Roux, Ed.D., and Jean P. Roux, Ph.D., LMFT, have over the last twenty-five years developed, consulted, coached, and trained thousands of people to become the best they can be both personally and professionally. As successful professionals and entrepreneurs in their own right, Suzanne and Jean Pierre, offer a fresh slant on adventuring through change, life transitions and recommitting to live a balanced and quality life. Suzanne is author of The Consultative Approach, Partnering for Results! and numerous workshops and articles. She is a columnist for the SF Examiner online, an avid blogger for www.healthyjoyfullivingblog.com and a national speaker inspiring busy professionals to take responsibility to create a life that embraces joie de vivre.

Pug at the Beach: An island dog's reflection on life by Jackson Dunes

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Pug At The Beach It's not about a breed. It's about a lifestyle. What do you get when you combine the Dahli Lama, Jimmy Buffett, and the turquoise blue waters of a tropical island? Why Pug At The Beach, of course! His name is Pug and he's a common dog with uncommon wisdom.

He's got a dorsal fin for an ear and a really nice collection of surfing shorts. His calm and wise insights combined with his playful attitude make for some very interesting adventures from his home at the beach. Travel with Pug At The Beach and find out how Pug learns to make new friends, overcomes his fear of the unknown, and successfully adapts to change. Find out why learning to surf helped him overcome adversity or how flying a kite can lead to great scientific discoveries.

This innovative and thought provoking book is a whimsical yet philosophical look at life. Tropical drawings along with short verses of text promise to inspire readers of all ages through subjects such as: being mindful, the importance of taking time for ourselves, overcoming any adversity, and remaining true to our authentic selves. Whether a kid or a kid at heart, readers of all ages have benefitted from Pug's simple wisdom and playful attitude.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Diana Taylor, who uses the pen name Jackson Dunes, is an innovative, inspirational writer of the Pug At The Beach books. She teaches people how to pursue their dreams and live a life of joy. Her own journey has brought her from being a stay at home mom, through a difficult divorce, to a life altering decision to leave her home of 25 years and chase her dream of living "at the beach." In 2008 she moved from rural New Hampshire to South Florida.

The character "Pug" was created in Key West and developed while her children were young. Pug's calm manner, playful attitude, and insightful wisdom appeals to both adults (for whom it was written) and children (who know a good thing when they see it.)

Taylor's unique approach to writing, whether the Pug books, or her short stories and essays, has garnered much attention and respect as well as a legion of devoted followers who speak of being consistently motivated to make positive changes in their own lives after reading her work.

Book #1 Living the Law of Attraction: Real Stories & Book #2 How to Talk to your Kids about the Law of Attraction

Living the Law of Attraction
You've seen The Secret. You've heard about it on Oprah. Maybe you've even read books on the Law of Attraction. But as they say, "The proof is in the pudding!" In this book, you’ll read real-life accounts of success stories from people who are truly Living the Law of Attraction. How do people put the principles of the Law of Attraction to work for themselves? How do ordinary people manifest extraordinary things in their lives? You will notice that those who have applied this law into their everyday lives are experiencing what used to be considered miracles. What was once miraculous is now commonplace ... everyday miracles.

You'll read amazing stories of healing ... how people recovered from life-threatening illnesses and near-death experiences. You’ll be inspired by the courage people have to transform their lives in order to realize their dreams. You’ll applaud the strength of those who have overcome adversity to triumph in life. And in case you didn’t before, you will truly understand how the Law of Attraction is always working for you.

There are many excellent books written by powerful teachers discussing the Law of Attraction. This book, as the title implies, is about the application of the law. It will show you that anyone in any situation, regardless of age, sex, economic background, or past negative experiences can practice it and experience greater levels of happiness, love, and abundance.

"We are all incredibly powerful manifesters ... we just need to apply the principles."- Rich German

How to Talk to Your Kids About the Law of Attraction
In the process of writing our book, Living the Law of Attraction, Real Stories of People Manifesting Health, Wealth and Happiness, we talked to many, many people about their personal experiences with the Law of Attraction. We quickly picked up on a common underlying sentiment. “I wish I had learned about this when I was much younger. My life would have been so different!” And, “How can I teach this to my kids so they have this knowledge even from an early age?”

Then I read something my friend Cindy Day wrote in her book, The Life of Your Dreams in 30 Days or Less. She wrote, “From birth, we were taught by others who weren’t aware of the Law of Attraction. We were taught all wrong! Which means, we need to forget what we’ve been taught!” That really made me think. What have I really been telling my kids for the past 17 years? What message have I been sending? And then I realized, what an opportunity! I have the knowledge and tools to potentially change the course of my children’s lives forever.

That's why I wrote this book. Everyone agrees. Parents need a new script! In this eBook, you'll find:

• In simple terms, what is the Law of Attraction?
• How to talk about Feelings
• The importance of Gratitude
• How to talk about Wishes
• Fun "games" and "exercises" to do with your children
• Real-life stories from kids and teens
• And much more!
