Teasing Tidbits From A Collection of Poetry from the Soul Book ID # 57244 In these stress filled times why not “release the restraints of your imagination...allow it to run wild as we venture into “A Quiet Oasis” on page 24. Uh huh, “I thought I was in control, had the power in my hands, indubitably”! Hah! My reckoning was beckoning. Have a glance over “A Silly Saga” on page 31. For those that have heard of an old adage about shedding tears internally, perhaps “A Glimpse into...Her Tears” on page 50 will provide insight into a different perspective. If you are of the opinion that accomplishments are only measured by greatness, think again because “Surging...ever forward, Reaching...for the sky”, maybe “It’s the Little Things” on page 95 will provide a twitch to your thinking. In a quandary as to “where you may fit “in the general scheme of things scan over “Reined in mental rambling (10) on page 161. News flash! You are richer than you know! Turn to “Richer than Midas” on page 224 for a little insight to my thinking. Hey, lighten up and brighten up; “Yeah go ahead be bold! You know you want to...and I know you can! Let the you lying within”, oops I nearly neglected to tell you “The Ebullience and Essence of You” on page 263 is waiting to be read.

Leanna Burns, who writes about the soul and the ?letting go? process, is at it again. Only this time, it is not about letting go of the weight (?From A to Z: Feed Your Soul and Lose the Weight?), nor is it about letting go of society's mythical standard of physical beauty (?Soul Beautiful, Naturally). ?Living the Soul Dolce Vita? is about letting go of your ?stuff? -- the stuff that gets in the way of soul communication, acknowledgment and recognition. This book is not just about having a garage sale and releasing a few household items that no longer interest you. It is about getting interested in your soul, and making room for it in your crowded and busy life. When your soul defines who you are versus the trappings of your life doing so, then you will be truly ?Living the Soul Dolce Vita.?

"Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!" --Chris Anderson, owner and curator of TED From the host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart, an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond. In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.
