Expression Is Your Superpower


Book Description

International Bestselling Author Ava Miles shares the keys to showing the world your true superhero nature by kicking shame to the curb. Many popular superheroes hide their true selves in the shadows. Cowed by shame and fear, they create false identities that they use to disguise their true nature. Isn’t that what most of us are doing? We’re “wrong” for everything from showing anger to crying, and sometimes even for laughing too loud or dressing a certain way. We are surrounded with taboos that keep our expression in check. “Darker” expressions and emotions make us unlovable or are “too much.” Expressing how we really think or feel gives way to punishment, shame, or abandonment. But no more. Forget all you’ve learned about getting angry or sad and everything in between. Expressing ourselves involves freeing ourselves from our masks and stepping into our superhero selves. Life-changing tools in this book include: · Facing down the seeds of judgment · Clearing shut-down patterns begun in childhood · Spotlight Tools to highlight our triggers · Super Tools to return to superhero wholeness · Take Back Tools for rewiring us to true expression · Cutting-edge exercises to relink our hearts to wholeness Expression Is Your Superpower is part of The Lost Guides to Living Your Best Life series, a complete system to help us reclaim the nine superpowers essential to rocking life. * * * Ava Miles is the international bestselling author of powerful books about love, happiness, and transformation.

Give Me a Reason


Book Description

Don't sleep with your best friend's brother. Finn Evans is such a cynic. How can he not believe in love and marriage but still be a musician for weddings? I may be a hopeless romantic, but at least I believe in love—which makes being a wedding planner at Happily Ever Afters a dream job for me. Finn and I clash about everything—except our undeniable attraction to each other. After one brief encounter on a hotel rooftop, we agree to a no-strings-attached fling. But with each day that passes, I fall more in love with him and his little girl, Paisley. The only problem is, our boss has a rule: No sleeping with coworkers or wedding guests. As the newest wedding planner, I can’t afford to lose my job, and, unlike Finn, I don’t have a trust fund to fall back on. Not to mention, Finn’s sister, Ireland, is my best friend, roommate, and fellow coworker. But when Ireland catches us together at a wedding, everything comes crashing down. Not only am I about to lose my job and my home, but I may just lose my chance at a forever kind of love.




An Eye on Ireland


Book Description

'Jolts like jump-leads to the complacent heart ... an eye-opener. MIRIAM LORD FOR FOUR DECADES, JUSTINE MCCARTHY'S FEARLESS JOURNALISM AND COMMENTARY HAS HELD POWER TO ACCOUNT AS SHE, IN HER OWN WORDS, 'GREW UP ALONGSIDE MY COUNTRY'. The book opens with a long personal essay in which Justine recounts her early years as a fearful child who dreamed of being a writer, to cutting her teeth in the male-dominated newsrooms of the 1980s, where she faced down sexism and broke gender barriers in a determined career marked by excellence. From Mary Robinson making history as Ireland's first female president to a present-day RTÉ in crisis, over thirty years of stories are collected here. In her long career, Justine broke child sexual abuse scandals and reported from the frontline of the Northern Ireland Troubles; she documented political turmoil and charted the role of Ireland on the world stage. She followed the times the country let down its people, through its ailing health system, its legal system, the domination of the church, and its treatment of women. An Eye on Ireland maps a transformative era in Irish life towards a more progressive and just society, and one woman's extraordinary career at the forefront of change.

For The Good Times


Book Description

LONGLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2019 SHORTLISTED FOR THE ENCORE PRIZE 2020 Sammy and his three friends are country boys from Armagh, the disputed borderlands of a country cannbalising itself. They love sharp clothes, a drink, and a night on the town singing Perry Como's classics. Their dream is a Free State, and their methods for achieving this are uncompromising. Heading for Belfast - ground zero of the Troubles - they find themselves in the incongruous position of running a comic book shop by day. Their clandestine activities belong in the x-rated pages of graphic fiction: burglary, blackmail, extortion, torture, and murder. No criminal act is too taboo for these boys. But when punk rock arrives and the hard edge of the decade starts to reveal its true paranoid colours, Sammy finds himself increasingly isolated. Camaraderie and loyalty is the fuel of a terrorist cell. When those virtues prove faulty, the game is up - and Sammy's world starts to radically shrink. For the Good Times shouts and sings with visionary intensity and gallows humour. It is not just a book about the IRA, but an exploration of what it means to 'go rogue', and the heartbreak and devastation that commitment to 'the cause' can engender. It unpacks any dewy-eyed romance associated with the Troubles, and establishes David Keenan as one of our generation's most fearless and entertaining literary stylists.
