Sarah’s Haiku : Sarah Shepherd
I started writing these poems in May 2016 as a way of distilling issues I often think about. I was seeking clarity of thought in preparation for visits with a therapist. Some poems are memories. Some are issues I struggle with in my life. Some are lessons I need to learn. Some are moments I want to hold dear.
Nonreaders can read and understand the poems because they are simple and very clear. Even rereading is pleasurable, in the same way it’s enjoyable to play a piano piece learned many years ago. The issues are timeless for people of all ages. Hopefully, a reader will be reminded of a similar experience in his or her life. These are topics of the human condition as seen from a lifetime of experiences of joy, sadness, lessons to be learned, and lessons to share. It incorporates mindfulness and meditation and encourages peace of mind, personal growth, and honesty.
The book represents courage to look at reality without pressure for perfection and with hope for being your best and brightest each day.

DIY : Dave Hale
The tragic story of one family’s journey through the process of raising kids and dogs while purchasing and updating houses.
Along the way, children learn to cuss, someone gets bear spray in the eyes, and everyone develops an appreciation for renting, rather than owning, crappy old houses.
The culmination of everyone’s efforts is the grand-daddy of all Fixer-Uppers, which had not been updated since 1976. The sad part is that it is all true. Honestly, I couldn’t make this up.

The Architect of Excellence : Steven Roberts
An Inspiring Story of Personal Development, Professional Inspiration, Dynamic Guidance & Ethereal Leadership
The Architect of Excellence is a groundbreaking approach to the art of personal growth and modern leadership expressed through a unique method of storytelling and lessons of contextual and interactive learning.
Through the process of identifying and relating to atypical professional behavior types and styles, you will begin to consciously identify the way in which individuals are able to transform and align with one another through modeling key behaviors, habits and beliefs within the culture of an organization.
Though the characters are fictitious in the literal sense, you will likely associate each unique and ‘familiar personality’ with someone that you’ve known or worked with at some point in your life.
The story of Patrick and Clair Dodgion, and their company, Architects, Design & Press, will unfold and reveal the commonalities of successful organizations, whether corporate or community in nature. This journey illustrates the way in which top performance organizations are created, develop, struggle, evolve and ultimately succeed when they apply the key success principles in high-performance organizations today. World-class organizational success today begins by creating a winning culture, positive collaboration, connection – and prioritizing people, which is the most important resource of any enterprise.
Through prioritizing personal and professional development, the modern organization builds success from the inside out. And in so doing, from many individuals, the modern organization creates one focused and engaged ‘tribe’ that believes in the organizational mission and in one another.
This story will very likely conjure memories of personal experiences you’ve had and will remind you of those who have impacted your life, both past and present. As importantly, we hope this book will entertain and cause you to reflect on your own journey and purpose. And through the characters challenges and emotional highs and lows, we hope it will keep you guessing as to what will happen next in the story and to create what happens next in your own personal success story!

Counting Backwards from 100 : Jonathan Kelley
My Life as an Anesthesiologist
This account of my life as an anesthesiologist got started decades ago, after I read an autobiography by a very famous surgeon I’d known during my training in Boston. Somehow, his autobiography didn’t sound right to me…. it only hit the academic honors and prizes he’d been awarded. Nothing about the disappointments or problems.
So I started then to write my story. No holds barred. The ups. The downs. The successes. The failures. And of course later in my career there evolved a beautiful serenity as I came to see how we are all in this together. It’s about the whys, the changing motivations, the personal growth, winding up in a way with a feeling that I’ve had a peek behind the curtain about the meaning of it all.
