Kaleidosouls

"SoulCollageTM is a process through which you contact your intuition and create an incredible deck of cards which have deep personal meaning and which will help you with life's questions. Following the simple SoulCollage directions, your hands move fragments of cut-out magazine pictures around, fitting them together in a surprising new way and gluing them down on a card. Cards containing the images you select -- or the images that select you -- come straight through your Soul, bypassing the mind. This is a multi-leveled, creative process which anyone can do. All you need is a good pair of scissors, pre-cut mat board cards, glue, and images you can cut out from magazines, greeting cards, personal photos, postcards, catalogues, and calendars. It is wonderful to have other people with whom to share the process. The cards are fun to take to a friend's house, to work with in therapy or support groups, or to keep on your coffee table."--Publisher description.

KaleidoSouls: Mirrors of the Light is a collection of poems all about God, His graciousness and goodness, who He is, and who we are in Jesus. Kaleidoscopes have mirrors in them, and when light shines into the opening, beautiful reflections are seen. We are like kaleidoscopes, mirroring the image of Jesus. When He, the Light, shines in us, beautiful images reflect onto others. Without His Light, everything within us would be a jumbled mess, but He shines into our souls and makes everything beautiful. Thus, we are the KaleidoSouls mirroring His beauty. KaleidoSouls not only features poetry but has Scripture on almost every page to enhance the meaning of the poem.These poems are gleaned from relationships and solitudes, happiness and sorrows, regrets and victories, friends and family, holidays and traditions, and many other places where you will find yourself. They tell stories of how Jesus changes people's lives and how He is reflected from them. You will find encouragement, hope, love, and insight within these pages. The poems tell about God and His mercies and love and how His Word can be used in our lives. May you find the words you would like to say to someone you love, someone you wish to encourage, or to yourself in a time of personal solitude.

Proof that a mother's love is with us through it all... Meet Savannah, the thirty-something owner of Life Celebrations, a party planning business. Despite losing both parents as a teenager, Savannah is creating a positive life for herself, surrounded by friends and co-workers who are now her family. But she also has a secret—as much as she wants to settle down and have children, she is afraid of getting sick too, and having to leave them without their mother, as she herself was left behind years ago. Her mother is Deirdre Rose. She continues to watch over Savannah, who feels deeply connected to her mother whenever a dragonfly crosses her path. Now meet Ben, a good-looking, talented recording artist who is already a household name. Yeah, he’s famous, but he’s also painfully lonely. He trusts few people because it seems everyone wants something from him instead of getting to know who he really is. As fate would have it, Savannah and Ben cross paths at a yoga retreat in the Massachusetts Berkshires. They are drawn to each other’s creativity and outlook on life. She sees beyond his celebrity and he admires her strength in what she’s had to overcome. What happens when the retreat ends and they're forced to go their separate ways? Will they be able to make a long distance relationship work? Can Savannah put aside her fears, and will Ben allow himself to be truly vulnerable? Above all . . . what message do Deirdre Rose and Dragonflies have for both of them?

With all his family and friends gone, one-hundred-year-old Murray McBride is looking for a reason to live. He finds it in Jason Cashman, a ten-year-old boy with a terminal heart defect and a list of five things he wants to do before he dies. Together, they race against the limited time each has left, ticking off wishes one by one. Along the way, Murray remembers what it's like to be young, and Jason fights for the opportunity to grow old. But when tragedy strikes, their worlds are turned upside-down, and an unexpected gift is the only thing that can make Jason's final wish come true.

Jason Cashman has reached the goal he spent the last twenty years seeking, but instead of feeling content, he feels empty. When he meets Alexandra Lopez, a ten-year-old America-loving girl facing deportation, he is inspired by his old friend, Murray McBride, to give her five wishes before she must leave. They set out to check off as many wishes as possible, but when Jason's transplanted heart begins to fail, he must choose between his obligations to the past and his hope for a future.

2019 Maxy Awards "Runner-Up Literary Fiction" "Heart and emotion are on full display in this thoughtful and often overwhelming story of love, loss, and forgiveness." -Sublime Book Review When a woman begins finding notes from her comatose father, miracle fever takes over the town. This touching story explores the strength of a father's love. A miracle has come to Sparkling Pond, Minnesota. Memorable objects from Aspen Collins' childhood are appearing in the town square, accompanied by notes in her father's handwriting. The notes relate to things happening in her life now. But that's impossible-Aspen's father is in a coma. The miracle brings chaos in the form of a ghost hunter, three different factions of people with conflicting beliefs about the miracle, and a television reporter who Aspen finds herself falling for. But when everything comes to a head, an impossible choice must be made. And the consequences of either decision could be too much to bear. An enchanting follow-up to Siple's award-winning debut, The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride, The Town with No Roads is a story of forgiveness and redemption that explores whether unconditional love should hold us close or set us free.
