First Comes Love, Then Comes Malaria: How a Peace Corps Poster Boy Won My Heart and a Third World Adventure Changed My Life
by Eve Brown-Waite
In this laugh-out-loud funny memoir, a pampered city girl falls head over little black heels in love with a Peace Corps poster boy and follows him —literally–to the ends of the earth. Eve Brown always thought she would join the Peace Corps someday, although she secretly worried about life without sushi, frothy coffee drinks and air conditioning. But with college diploma in hand, it was time to put up or shut up. So with some ambivalence she arrives at the Peace Corps office–sporting her best safari chic attire –to casually look into the steps one might take if one were to become a global humanitarian, a la Angelina Jolie. But when Eve meets John, her dashing young Peace Corps recruiter, all her ambivalence flies out the window. She absolutely must join the Peace Corps - and win John's heart in the process. Off to Ecuador she goes and - after a year in the jungle - back to the States she runs, vowing to stay within easy reach of a decaf cappuccino for the rest of her days. But life had other plans. Just as she's getting reacquainted with the joys of toilet paper, John gets a job with CARE and Eve must decide if she’s up for life in another third world outpost. Before you can say, "pass the malaria prophylaxis," the couple heads off to Uganda, and the fun really begins--if one can call having rats in your toilet fun. Fortunately, in Eve’s case one certainly can, because to her, every experience is an adventure to be embraced and these pages come alive with all of the alternatively poignant and uproarious details.
With wit and candor, First Comes Love, then Comes Malaria chronicles Eve’s misadventures as an aspiring do-gooder. From intestinal parasites to getting caught in a civil war, culture clashes to unexpected friendships, here is an honest and laugh-out-loud funny look at the search for love and purpose—from a woman who finds both in the last place she expected.

Chasing Normal: A Guide for the Newly Disabled and for Those Who Love Them
by Dinah Chaudoir Federer
Chasing Normal is meant to help the newly disabled especially, and their families calm down, get centered and take their individual journey one step at a time. As she says in her book, becoming disabled is like being dropped in the middle of a foreign country and told to find your way home. Chasing Normal is meant to act as a compass on this often overwhelming path.
If you do a topic search you ll see there are plenty of textbooks discussing the 'issues' there are many written by parents, and there are some personal stories. Dinah's experience can tell you that the 'average Joe' in crisis will not read a textbook. Concentration flies out the window when you re terrified. Further, this same 'Joe' won t care about a parent s theory or even others stories unless there s some good, simple advice. Chasing Normal: A Guide for the Newly Disabled and for Those Who Love Them will do this without adding to their overwhelm.

Your Spacious Self: Clear Your Clutter and Discover Who You Are
by Stephanie Bennett Vogt
Behind our stress and clutter is an infinitely spacious place one might call Stillness or Joy. This is our natural state of being, but we usually do not experience it because we are caught in a web of material possessions, desires, and fears.
Why has our clutter become like another member of the family that we feed, house, and lug around? Your Spacious Self: Clear Your Clutter and Discover Who You Are shows us that it's not our stuff, but the holding on to it that creates a force field of "stuck-ness" that clouds our perceptions and paralyzes our lives. Clutter is not just the junk spilling out of the closet. It is any thing or thought that prevents us from experiencing who we truly are. Clearing is not a tedious exercise of throwing away, but a gentle journey of softening our grip and letting go!
Radical in its message and elegant in its simplicity, Your Spacious Self offers a new model of clearing that combines the ancient wisdom of space clearing with the modern practicality of clutter clearing.

If I Just Breathe
by Tina Koral
"The photographs from my wedding day show a joyful young couple, visibly excited to start a new life together. The promise of a happy home full of children shone in our eyes. The thrill of that day, of marrying my childhood love in a city filled with romance, will stay with me forever. What I did not know at the time was that along with something old, new, borrowed and blue, I carried a seven centimeter, rapidly growing mass of malignant cells in my breast. I was twenty-nine years old."
In August 2003, Tina Koral was an ambitious medical research assistant with a blossoming career, and a newlywed with dreams of children. But her life was about to change forever. If I Just Breathe is the story of Tina's breast cancer diagnosis at age thirty, after her tumor was left to grow and spread for eighteen months because her doctors said she was too young to get breast cancer. While in treatment, Tina initiated a medical malpractice lawsuit against two doctors and two major Chicago area hospitals. During this time she wrestled with the questions that many young women with cancer do - will this kill me? Will I be able to have children? Will the doctors be held responsible for their negligence? With such universal themes of body image, fertility, and triumph over adversity, If I Just Breathe will inspire any woman to be resilient in the face of life's difficult times. This book is a must-read for any young woman concerned about breast cancer, or anyone recently diagnosed with the disease. If I Just Breathe is available for $14.95 at www.tinakoral.com or at Amazon.com. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to the Young Survival Coalition and the I'm Too Young For This! Cancer Foundation.

Obtain the right early diagnosis; read the mystery behind Robin's doctor related breast misdiagnosis, highlighting common causes of a breast misdiagnosis. In her informative postscript, there is also an easy to follow life-saving guide to help prevent a breast misdiagnosis based on research from top physicians studying the causes of doctor related breast cancer misdiagnosis.

Working with transferring employees I found that the most common complaint was that there was not a “manual” to get through the home sale, packing, and move-in process. There was not a “Do this first!”, or “Don’t do that!” guide to keep people on the path to a relaxing relocation. Thus The Guide to A Joyful Move was born.
Bonnie Joy Dewkett began organizing as a child when she would organize her toys, and has been organizing ever since. After helping friends and family to organize their homes, she decided to make it a full time career. Bonnie has been a guest speaker at many groups and companies in the New York City Metro Area, has been featured in the Ridgefield Press, and is a regular contributor to the newspaper. She is a proud member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO).
The Guide to a Joyful Move can currently be purchased at Bonnie's website (www.thejoyfulorganizer.com) in both print and downloadable formats and it will soon be on Amazon.com.

How to Use What You've Got To Get What You Want
by Marilyn Tam
According to common wisdom, Marilyn Tam didn't have the advantages
needed to get ahead in the world. English was her second language, she
suffered abuse and lack of support from her family, had no connections,
and began a career in the male-dominated business world. But Marilyn
discovered that her "disadvantages" provided her with the strength to
creat the career and life she always dreamed of. Not only has Marilyn
achieved phenomenal success in business, holding executive roles at
companies such as Aveda, Reebok, and Nike, but she has also pursued her
dream of helping others by founding a non-profit organization. How did
she beat the odds? In How To Use What You've Got To Get What You Want,
Marilyn Tam shares the philosophy that has taken her to the pinnacle of
personal and professional success. In her work and life, Marilyn lives
by four simple principles: tell the truth all the time (it's easier),
make others your partner in your success (work from common ground),
make big mistakes (big mistakes are the byproduct of making big
strides), and die by your own sword (better to fight and die by your
own ideas and conviction's than anyone else's). Founded in integrity,
courage, flexibility, and collaboration, these principles contradict
much of the standard thinking about success. Marilyn isn't your
standard success story - but she just might be the inspiration you need
to become the hero in your own life. Learn more at: www.howtousewhatyouvegot.com Order your copy HERE from Amazon.com
