Learning to celebrate your uniqueness
September 30, 2019
Everyone can use an infusion of self-esteem and self-confidence. Who doesn't like to be accepted by others and feel great about their uniqueness? This Pufferfish Adventure introduces you to Mike the Pufferfish who thinks he doesn't fit in unlike his best friends Sam Squid and Casey Crab. They are so cool and have lots of friends but Sam feels like a misfit. When he sucks in water he blows up like a balloon and he has spikes all over his body not scales like the other fish do. This embarrasses him and he feels ugly. He talks to his friends about his feelings but they don't seem to mind him being different. They explain to him that they too are weird and no one really cares.

And then something happens that changes Mike's view of himself forever. His friends are playing hide and seek in Secret Cave and Mike is "It." After he finishes counting he swims off to find his friends and the search and find game becomes a search and rescue one. Mike discovers that his besties are in grave danger and it's up to him to save the day. Can Mike pull himself together and use his weirdness to become a superhero? Mike's weirdness turns out to be his superpower and he doesn't hesitate to use it to save his friends.

Now not only do his friends celebrate his friendship and heroism but Mike is able to celebrate exactly what he is created to be... a brave, cool, popular Pufferfish that is highly accepted and belongs in his underwater community!

“The Birth Mother” by Seymour Ubell is a powerful novel that touches the very soul of the reader. I generally try to avoid books that are emotional, but I’m so glad I decided to try this one, it was a pleasure to read and didn’t disappoint me.

A rich and powerful man Daryl Landsman visits an orphanage in China with a business partner and immediately falls for a set of twin girls. Beautiful little girls that are half Chinese and half European, but they touch him as nothing else has touched him in his life. When he calls his wife, Maxine, and tells her his intentions her reaction is nothing short of hilarious! Much as mine might be if my husband said at fifty years old, we’re about to become parents!
Sing Ye and Lang Pi are beautiful little girls who have been given the gift of a future with this wonderful loving American couple. Given new names to go with their future, they become Samantha Sing Ye and Lauren Lang Pi.
The story moves back and forth between the exciting new life of Samantha and Lauren and their birth mother’s life. The story of their birth mother is heart breaking and it touches on how different our society is from the Chinese Culture.

Read along with this epic journey for two beautiful girls that bring so much pleasure to their new family and the moment they finally meet their birth mother and find where that road will take them in life.
This story brought me to tears, then had me laughing and shaking my head, what a great book, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a way to warm your soul on a winter afternoon!

Heather Bien, a lifestyle content creator and writer stayed at Southampton Inn and wrote a story about her experiences. Heather mentioned the Bedside Reading program and featured Tim Tigner's The Price of Time! Read the article here.
Picture

The Price of Time by Tim Tigner is about a secret in Silicon Valley. A discovery. An invention. One so startling and surprisingly sinister that it needs to be kept—at any price.

Tim Tigner takes a step back from his bestselling Kyle Achilles series to introduce Zachary Chase and Skylar Fawkes in a fresh standalone novel that’s bound to keep you glued and guessing. With secluded meetings, sudden disappearances and strange murders; secret agents, skillful assassins and sexy locations; The Price of Time is packed with fast-paced action and first-class intellectual intrigue.

Propelling the thrills and perched at the middle of the mystery is one of humanity’s great questions: Would finding the Fountain of Youth be a blessing?

July 1939. War is on the horizon but on Monk Island, Maine life goes on as usual. As the daughter of a lobsterman, Ellie Ames’ future seems limited until a mysterious German couple comes off the ferry with their nineteen-year-old son. From the moment she meets Karl Brink, the two become inseparable and not everyone approves because locals are suspicious of outsiders. Ellie ignores their scorn, however, and the secret she learns about Karl’s family makes her even more determined to be with him.

The magical summer ends when the Brinks suddenly have to go home. And although Karl promises to return in the fall, by then Europe is at war. Two years pass and Ellie has all but given up hope when she gets a letter in the mail that will change her life forever.
​
The Storm Beyond The Tides is the story of the unlikely romance between a small-town girl and a German on the eve of the Second World War and explores a frightening time in America’s past—when U-Boats prowled the East Coast and put small, coastal communities on the frontline of a global conflict.

This is a beautifully written and well researched book. “The Storm Beyond the Tides” tells the story of Ellie Ames, the daughter of a lobsterman in coastal Maine, and her relationship with Karl Brink, the son of German university professors visiting Maine in the summer of 1939. War hasn’t broken out yet, but it’s only a matter of time. Can their young love survive the mounting obstacles thrown their way? Prejudice, violence, family strife, betrayal, economic loss, and war all conspire against them. Is love eternal? Or is theirs only meant to last the summer? Rich with strong and compelling characters and fascinating history, Cullen paints a portrait of life in New England on the eve of World War II and explores the devastating impact war has on a coastal community and its inhabitants.

I loved this book. The story of Karl and Ellie, the relationship between her and her father, little Mary’s disability, the Brink family’s dark secret. There were so many layers to this novel. The history was interesting and I think the author really captured what life was like on the coast of Maine during WWII. I’ll be recommending it to all my friends.

If just one step could change your life, would you take it?

In The Labyrinth Influence: Awaken The Wisdom Within, we meet a woman searching for answers. After overcoming myriad challenges in work and life--a round of layoffs, her husband's serious illness, and health issues of her own--the Woman finds herself at the mouth of a labyrinth, unsure of her next move. Should she pursue the road less traveled and the potential to make a difference, or stick with the safety of what she has always known?

Before she can find her path, she must let go of it all--her social conditioning, her definition of success, and even her concept of herself.

Thus, the Woman sets off on her journey, learning to trust herself in the labyrinth and beyond. Along the way, she encounters setbacks and challenges that make her question everything. But ultimately, she realizes that she has had the answers all along--she just had to figure out how to access them.

In this moving business fable based on author PJ Jackson's transformative experiences as an applied scientist and authority on women in business, the reader travels with the Woman as she uncovers seven universal wisdoms and cultivates grace, power, and ease on the route to personal fulfillment.

If you are ready to tap into your inner wisdom, identify your true purpose, and embrace your own unique value, then PJ Jackson--and The Labyrinth Influence: Awaken the Wisdom Within--is your guide.

A Must Read For Life's Journey!
June 13, 2018
I never quite understood the labyrinth and yet, PJ so eloquently uses the labyrinth to articulate how to find purpose, passion and meaning in life. There were so many moments in the book where I could see myself - the challenges, the struggles, the ‘should’ (you should do this, you should do that), the expectations, the ‘dreams’ and execution that weren’t mine.

The key ‘aha’ moment that hit home for me was when the ‘Woman’ was challenged with walking the Labyrinth and immediately started to assess and analyze how she was going to get to the end, so fixated on solving the ‘problem.’ After reading that section, I paused, and got out my journal and wrote “She didn’t want to begin without knowing where she was going…”.

How many people are paralyzed by that without even knowing? I know I am. We want to define a vision - charting our lives, setting in stone how things are going to work out, setting expectations all along the way and when things don’t go our way, we immediately get discouraged and dismiss our crazy dreams.

“When you let go of how to get there, you arrive right where you need to be.” And later…’but first she would have to let go of how to get there, especially since she didn’t know exactly where she was going.’ We want someone to chart our course, to give us a guide, to define a path…the wisdom is that it lies within us. And the way we truly live, to truly find our purpose, passion and meaning, is to be aware…to recognize the daily interactions and not get so lost and caught up in expectations.

I finished this book and felt a complete, utter sense of bliss…I was so happy for the ‘Woman’ and (I don’t know how she did it) but I FEEL it - totally awakened. It. Just. Makes. Sense! Seriously…right up there with The Alchemist in my book!

Most "diet books" make it sound so easy: do this, do that, lose weight, keep it off, have a fabulous life. The end. But we all know that fitness isn't some story with a tidy ending.

If only there was a way for the rest of is to make the journey to health and happiness- to that elusive place where fitness actually "fits in" to our busy schedules and doesn't require spending 12 weeks pretending to be someone we're not. There is

It's called The Way In by Andrea Marcellus. But be warned. This method is only for people who want to:
-Lose weight for good without eliminating any of the foods you truly enjoy. (Yes, you read that right).
-Develop a strong, lean physique without working out like it's the Olympic trials.
-Learn how to be your own personal coach rather than your most dedicated critic.
-Make friends with food again. And the mirror. (Again, yes you read that right).

Marcellus- a fitness expert and life strategist with more than 20 years' experience - brings a holistic approach to the challenges of losing weight and becoming healthier. The opposite of a one-size-fits-all plan, her 5 Life Strategies guide you to determine a couse of action that's right for you. The result: an outside that matches the strong, capable person you know you are on the inside. (And maybe you'll also start your own club!)

The Weigh In is the best book I have ever read on diet and lifestyle!
July 21, 2019

The Way (Weigh) In is the best book I have read on diet and lifestyle! I loved the way the author introduced herself to the reader. She made me feel understood and amused at the same time. The information she gave was so informative, and as a RN I appreciated her Insight into how our bodies respond to food. I am actually excited to begin The Way In feel her program may be the answer to my lifelong struggle with failed diets. It’s so nice to know that her website is available to accompany me on my journey. Tomorrow is my start date........ thank you Andrea.

Great Book!
March 14, 2015
My daughter really like this book. She loved the names of the characters and fun pictures in the book. This book was great for imaginary play. When the book was finished and she realized that captain no beard and Hallie were pretending the bed was ship, the mom a mermaid and the stuffed animals, maytes, she wanted to turn her bed into a ship. She spent an hour going on an adventure with captain no beard and Hallie. Her stuffed friends were her mateys just like in the book.
Not only did my daughter love the book but I enjoyed reading it as well. The pirate phrases and words where fun to say in my best pirate voice. My daughter and I both laughed as we shouted “Shiver Me Timbers!” I would highly recommend this book to all my maytes!
