All author proceeds benefit local animal shelters. Animals have been entwined with our lives since the earliest days of civilization. Many of the first cave drawings are of animals and how they interact with humans. Dogs were loyal companions and protectors. Cats kept the home safe from mice and curled up on a lap after a long day of work. Both were worshipped as gods and goddesses. As our society grew, so did our appreciation of our animal neighbors on our Earth. Many of us now care for more unusual pets such as rabbits and geckos. The wild animals continue to enthrall and inspire us. Monkeys and apes can learn sign language to talk with us. Elephants can paint beautiful pictures and have shown they are self-aware. Animals can be our best friends. They share in our joys and comfort us through our dark times. Often they are the ones we turn to when nobody else will listen. Our Sutton Writing Group compilation includes animal-themed haiku and poetry. Memories of pets who changed our lives. Fictional tales laced with playful delight, magic, science fiction, current events, and a dash of whimsy. Come share in this exploration of the many wondrous ways in which animals touch us all. Authors featured in this compilation are: Christine Beauchaine Patty Cahill Linda DeFeudis Steve Hague Bob Marrone S. M.

In our rushed, hectic, go-go-go modern world, it can be hard to remember to take care of yourself. But this one body is all each of us has to make it through an entire lifetime. What we do to our bodies - the stress we subject them to, the damage we do to the muscles and ligaments - stays with us every waking moment. We owe it to ourselves to nurture this delicate vehicle which moves us through our world. Yoga for Stress Relief and Forgiveness provides a step by step recipe for calm and healing. Author Lisa Shea has been following this practice for a decade and over time has tweaked and polished the steps until each one resonates with serenity. Study after study finds that yoga helps with lower back pain, depression, energy levels, balance, post-traumatic stress, focus, sleep, and much more. Whether you need to reset after a busy day or wish to have more joy in your daily life, yoga can help. It nurtures your body and embraces your soul. Join us to take that first step forward into a healthier, happier you. Namaste. This book Yoga for Stress Relief and Forgiveness is intended to be free on all systems, to help those who are in need of support find a step toward a more contented life. If the system you are currently on requires a charge to download, all author's proceeds will benefit battered women's shelters. If you have never done yoga at all, I highly recommend you start with a live human being helping you in person. That person can ensure you hold the poses in a healthy, safe way. If you don't have access to a human, at least use a video of some sort to see the poses in motion. It's like learning the harp or learning to swim - you need to see how the whole body moves. My book then helps you understand my personal sequence of poses, to create an atmosphere of stress relief and forgiveness. Feel free to contact Lisa if you have any questions about her routine - she's happy to help!

Haiku. A crystalline drop of vision, delicately colored, conveying a pinpoint moment in time. Starting with its structure of five-seven-five syllables, its possibilities are endless. Meld that in with wet-on-wet watercolor, the very essence of patience and release of expectations, and you have a combination which inspires and soothes. Artist Lisa Shea provides seasonally-themed pairings of words and images which tantalize and delight. In each case she pondered the poem while sitting down with a six-inch by six-inch piece of watercolor paper. She then made one and only one pass at creating an image to go with that poem. There were no do-overs. There were no fixer-uppers. Just as in life, she took a deep breath, and began. The result was often swayed by water movement, air movement, and other factors far beyond her control. And that''s all right. The journey is what matters. Join Lisa on her journey, and share your thoughts on the results! * * * Haiku of the Great Blue Hill - Poetry and Watercolors of Massachusetts is Lisa''s first book of published poetry.
