Heart Sparks


Book Description

If you're like most of the people I work with and how I used to be, you know there's more to life than just going through the motions, doing what you're supposed to, getting things done. You want to wake up in the morning, excited about life. You want to feel inspired and passionate with the work you do. You want to live more of what you love. The problem is, a lot of us have forgotten what we love. Because we aren't encouraged to follow our dreams. Because we have commitments and obligations. Because we're so busy taking care of everyone else that we have forgotten to take care of ourselves. And when we do start to think about what we might love to be doing with our lives instead, we hear all those voices in our head saying: there's no time for that, I'm too old to do anything different, I can't make money at it so it's not worth my time... And then we feel felt like such a failure because we know we are not living our true purpose. Heart Sparks: 7 Practices For Loving Your Life is an easy-to-read collection of stories, questions and opportunities to help you discern what is and isn't working in your current situation, and practices to create a life filled with more joy, more passion, more things that feel like love.




Reflections of the Heart


Book Description

This book is Tony’s tribute to Mrs. Curran, his English teacher during his enrollment at Alexander Junior High School 51 in Brooklyn. She was a sweet, gentle lady, who taught English with an emphasis on examining the intricacies and meanings contained in poetry. She gave her students the gift of exploration beyond the Brooklyn setting, and they loved the chance to dream a bit in each class. The students respected and loved Mrs. Curran, Tony most especially. This book has been inspired by those two years in which poetry inspired in him a continuing desire to pursue his love of it, and its use of telling stories, evoking emotion, and creating joy, empathy, and a route to learning life’s crucial lessons. Throughout his life, Tony has wondered whether any of his fellow students may have been inspired to follow a course similar to the one he has chosen.

The Heart Principle


Book Description

A woman struggling with burnout learns to embrace the unexpected—and the man she enlists to help her—in this new New York Times bestselling romance by Helen Hoang. When violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself incapacitated and burned out from her attempts to replicate that moment. And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too. Translation: She's going to embark on a string of one-night stands. The more unacceptable the men, the better. That’s where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex—he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she herself has just started to understand. However, when tragedy strikes Anna’s family she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves.
