During a low point in her younger life, author Loretta M. Calvert, JD, married a grandiose narcissist. That marriage ended in divorce. In Say Yes to Yourself, she doesn’t talk about that chapter, but she offers a series of stories about what happened after her break up. In this, her second book, Calvert narrates the wild ride of her year dating after divorce. Each chapter outlines an encounter and what was learned from her mistakes. She tells about her experiences with everyone from the Patio Furniture Guy, to Mr. Ex-Chippendale Dancer, the Future Dateline Story, Mama’s Boy, and more. Say Yes to Yourself shares how Calvert realized she was attracting the wrong men. She needed to get clearer in terms of what she wanted, what her deal breakers were, and what her boundaries were. That meant turning inward and figuring out who she was. Her experiences, while humorous, led to a fundamental principle every single person on the dating scene should know: you do not need to pair up. You can be happily single instead of unhappily married.

The creator of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal" details the one-year experiment with saying "yes" that transformed her life, revealing how accepting unexpected invitations she would have otherwise declined enabled powerful benefits.

Say Yes gives you the mental and spiritual practices you need to enjoy your life again--and bring greater fullness than you could imagine before. "My life doesn't look anything like I wanted it to. How do I even keep going?" When the dreams for our life die, our vision of who we hoped to become often dies too. That's when The Voice of Giving Up appears. Visual artist and spiritual director Scott Erickson has had long midnight conversations with The Voice of Giving Up, and he knows how anxiety and depression make The Voice especially loud. But he's discovered that our darkest moments are sometimes doorways to a deeper, more joy-filled journey of recovering who we are, why we're here, and why the future bursts with possibilities if we are willing to say yes to life's brightest gifts. In Say Yes, Scott helps you learn how to reawaken your deepest desires, disempower your greatest fears, and identify the destructive narratives holding you back. Combined with Scott's beautiful, thought-provoking illustrations, this is a profound exploration of beginning again after: Disappointment at how life is turning out Suspecting we are not prepared or smart enough Losing hope that change is possible and that pain can have a purpose Take the first step to gain the gentle yet powerful tools you need, and say yes to what lies ahead today.

Research has shown that integrating little daily practices into your life can actually change the way your brain works. This guide offers simple things you can do routinely, mainly inside your mind, that will support and increase your sense of security and worth, resilience, effectiveness, well-being, insight, and inner peace. For example, they include: taking in the good, protecting your brain, feeling safer, relaxing anxiety about imperfection, not knowing, enjoying your hands, taking refuge, and filling the hole in your heart. At first glance, you may be tempted to underestimate the power of these seemingly simple practices.

Moment to moment, whatever you're aware of—sounds, sensations, thoughts, or your most heartfelt longings—is based on underlying neural activities. This book offers simple brain training practices you can do every day to protect against stress, lift your mood, and find greater emotional resilience.

She decided to no longer fill her voids through unhealthy relationships. Instead, she filled herself with the love of Jesus Christ.
