Silver Dreams by Sondra Rice Newman is a wonderful horse romance that should be made into a movie. My first date with my husband eleven years ago was to see the movie, SEABISCUIT. Am I partial to horse movies because of that? People who love horses for sure would love this book, but even though I have never ridden a horse (without being led by a master with a rope), I still loved this book. Maybe it is because with a horse like Silver Dreams, it instills a sense of hope for creatures that don't appear perfect. Available in hard cover...

October is anti-bully month, and we have two e-books that are must-reads. One is a fiction story based on the author's journal from when he was in school called SWIMMING ON THE MOON about how he befriended a boy who had developmental disabilities and was bullied. Becoming his advocate and friend — what a heart-warming story by Nicholas Hill!  The other book, written by a PhD level psychologist, Dr. Theodore Chandler is called The Wimping of Our American Youth: How to Empower Our Children Rather than Enabling Them to Be Wimps and Bullies.  This book is a call to action. All Teachers,...

How many people realize that Buddha was married to Yasodhara and they had a son named Rahula? Gabriel Constans has written a novel that would make a wonderful movie. Yasodhara is on her death bed telling through a series of flashbacks her fascinating story of her very short marriage with Buddha, how he left her in the middle of the night on his journey to seek enlightenment, and how this affected their son Rahula. Whether you are a historian, a spiritual seeker, or just someone who loves a good story (based on some truths), this is a really interesting read.

Every time I think about this novel, I envision it on the big movie screen. I love multi-cultural movies, like "The Million Dollar Arm" and "The Hundred Foot Journey" as they showed scenes from India as well as the U.S. and France. STEFI takes place in London and in India; a London journalist with a broken-heart goes on a journey to find herself. It is hilarious, delightful, smart, and has heart. And it has a surprise ending! What more could one ask of a romantic novel? 

Having a healthy relationship is not something to take for granted. Sometimes it is easier to realize a relationship isn't healthy than to define what would make it healthy. This beautiful poster stimulates thinking and discussion; it is like a book on one page. Great for dorm rooms, homes, offices, shelters, etc.    When a team of us were creating the words to go on this poster (we called it an art print because an award-winning artist Gay Holland drew it and it is beautiful), we knew we were ready to go to print when we added the word "Kindness."
