Like Water Slipping Through My Fingers

“No use living if you can’t be happy,” says the main character, Doris. Her words are prophetic. In the meantime, free-spirited Doris works hard at having fun and brings the author, her teenage babysitter, Tina, along for the ride. Doris is not the kind of woman Tina’s protective father and grandfather, a preacher with an eye for the ladies, approve of. That is, she is not a sweet little demure housewife. When her father-in-law complains that she is not acting like a lady, Doris counters, “To hell with ladies!” The author takes the reader on an initial joyful and unconventional journey and along divergent paths of family relationships, Jim Crowism, tragedy, loss, and love. The author says this book is payment for the debt she owes to Doris for her caring sisterhood when she was a young girl suffering a great loss and for the good times.

The spellbinding tale of six queer witches forging their own paths, shrouded in the mist, magic, and secrets of the ancient California redwoods. Danny didn’t know what she was looking for when she and her mother spread out a map of the United States and Danny put her finger down on Tempest, California. What she finds are the Grays: a group of friends who throw around terms like queer and witch like they’re ordinary and everyday, though they feel like an earthquake to Danny. But Danny didn’t just find the Grays. They cast a spell that calls her halfway across the country, because she has something they need: she can bring back Imogen, the most powerful of the Grays, missing since the summer night she wandered into the woods alone. But before Danny can find Imogen, she finds a dead boy with a redwood branch through his heart. Something is very wrong amid the trees and fog of the Lost Coast, and whatever it is, it can kill. Lush, eerie, and imaginative, A. R. Capetta’s tale overflows with the perils and power of discovery — and what it means to find your home, yourself, and your way forward.

Full Scope Yoga - consisting of eight limbs, opens the doorway between our outer and inner reality, leading us to Abiding Peace, Oneness and Joy in all aspects of life. The Advanced Yoga Practices (AYP) lessons provide detailed instructions on how to open the doorway of our nervous system - aiding us in unfolding our full potential and destiny in this life. Deep Meditation, Spinal Breathing Pranayama, and Yoga Asanas form the foundation of daily practice in a short routine compatible with modern life, with extensive refinements and many additional practices provided in the lessons as experience in human spiritual transformation advances over time. Prudent self-pacing of practices is a core teaching throughout the lessons. The AYP lessons began in 2003 as an online resource. Over the years, the teachings have expanded to populate several websites, 17 books, and translations into more than a dozen languages. The two original AYP Easy Lessons for Ecstatic Living books, the first published in 2004, and the second in 2010, cover nearly 500 lessons combined. As the writings continued, an online service called AYP Plus was launched in 2015, eventually adding nearly 500 additions to the original lessons, expanding and refining the teachings based on the questions and experiences of hundreds of practitioners. Altogether, AYP Plus contains nearly 1,000 lessons and additions. Until now, this large amount of instructional content has only been available through the AYP Plus online service. Over the years, the AYP lessons have been praised as one of the most comprehensive and accessible instructional resources on full scope yoga ever produced - see hundreds of testimonials in the back of the book. With the publication of this large volume, the full teachings contained in the AYP Plus Lessons are being made available as an off-line resource for the first time.

Bringing together a unique collection of narrative accounts based on the lived experience of queer Chicano/Mexicano sons, this book explores fathers, fathering, and fatherhood. In many ways, the contributors reveal the significance of fathering and representations of fatherhood in the context of queer male sexuality and identity across generations, cultures, class, and Mexican immigrant and Mexican American families. They further reveal how father figures—godfathers, grandfathers, and others—may nurture and express love and hope for the queer young men in their extended family. Divided into six sections, the book addresses the complexity of father-queer son relationships; family dynamics; the impact of neurodiverse mental health issues; the erotic, unsafe, and taboo qualities of desire; encounters with absent, estranged or emotionally distant fathers; and a critical analysis of father and queer son relationships in Chicano/Latino literature and film.

Courtney's trilogy is finally complete- and with her story's end comes the completion of the Daughters of the Warlock series. Boxset includes: - Crown of the Witch - Throne of the Council - Kingdom of Equality. Paranormal fantasy, clean romance, and truly kick-ass heroines.
