Deborah Anthony has done it again, candidly unveiling her "Fully Surrendered" life full of color on pages of "COLORFUL: The Woman The Wife The Mother". Unapologetically, the pure essence of seeking authenticity as a woman at each stage of her journey. Painting a vivid portrait of three crucial roles: the woman, the wife and the mother, Deborah carries her readers through her life's story, embracing her own healing with grace and humility. Often misunderstood or even taken for granted, these 3 roles can only be filled by women. In a world where being a woman, wife or even mother is defined by revolt and rebellion, Deborah presents a refreshing depiction of who a modern Proverbs 31 woman should be. She also answers many of the perplexing questions that womanhood, marriage and motherhood can bring. I have had the immense honor and privilege of watching Deborah grow, blossom and bloom throughout many life events from her work career, to bringing forth the miracle and supporting her husband in his political career. Each time, grace supported her and brought her closer to the heart of God. Deborah beautifully describes the lost joy that painfully comes from fighting and resisting the true calling for women who become wives and mothers still longing for answers to questions most of us have yet to answer. Choosing to adapt to a principled lifestyle, owning her life choices and applying those lessons daily has rewarded her with life full of blessing, vibrancy and wonder.The world is waiting for authenticity and truth. Finally, it is here. Let your COLORFUL life begin.

Anthony gives us a bold a transparent look at the hidden inner struggles of passionate, high-capacity, multi-gifted individuals and how if left unchecked can become major weaknesses with the potential towards a sure destructive and tragic demise.

LevigneWe all know the story of the little girl in a red cloak and hood, going through the forest to visit her grandmother, who meets up with a wolf Or do we really know the story? Could it be all wrong? A coverup? Is the wolf an innocent victim, slandered by bad PR? Was the grandmother the villain? Or the woodsman? Or Red Riding Hood herself? These twelve stories take the familiar and twist it around, inside out and upside down. The settings vary from fairytale to the modern world, from a peasant village to a college campus, from a high school drama to a Southern town with strange goings-on. They feature spies and shapeshifters and greedy relatives, bullies and lawyers and private investigators. You'll laugh, you'll shiver, you'll boo and cheer -- maybe both at the same time. Settle in and hold on tight, because these definitely aren't your granny's fairytales...
Once again, our nation has a powerful need for a revolution devoted to creating scientists. As we face the challenges of climate change, global competitiveness, biodiversity loss, energy needs, and dwindling food supplies, we ?nd ourselves in a period where both scienti?c literacy and the pool of next-generation scientists are dwindling. To solve these complex issues and maintain our own national security, we have to rebuild a national ethos based on sound science education for all, from which a new generation of scientists will emerge. The challenge is how to create this transformation. Those shaping national policy today, in 2009, need look no further than what worked a half-century ago. In1957,SputnikcircledandsentaclarioncallforAmericatobecometheworld’s most technologically advanced nation. In 1958, Congress passed the National Defense Education Act, which focused the national will and called for scholars and teachers to successfully educate our youth in science, math, and engineering. It was during this time period that Paul F. Brandwein emerged as a national science e- cation leader to lay the foundation for the changes needed in American education to create the future scientists essential to the nation’s well-being.

The first edition of Therapist as Life Coach, published in 2002, anticipated this trend, and since its publication it has become a standard for therapists who wish to transition or expand their practices into life coaching. Pat Williams and Deborah C. Davis have finally revised their classic practice-building book for today's therapists and future coaches. Every chapter in this second edition has been updated and rewritten, reflecting the growth of the coaching field and its increasing appeal to not only therapists, but all helping professionals. The book begins by exploring the history of the coaching movement and shows how society is hungry for life coaches. The second part of the book explains in detail the differences and similarities between coaching and therapy, discusses the coaching relationship, and considers some of the skills therapists will need to learn and unlearn in order to reclaim their joyfulness about their work. Professional transition tools such as developing and marketing your practice and honing your coaching skills are discussed at length in Part Three. The final section moves beyond basic life coaching to introduce coaching specialties such as corporate coaching, offers self-care strategies for life coaches, and peeks into the future of life coaching. There is new material throughout, including an overview of recent coaching developments, updated liability concerns, new business opportunities, and a new section on the research about coaching. Coaching gives practitioners the opportunity to break free of managed care and excessive reliance on the insurance industry and to work with a wide range of clients—specifically, those who are not suffering from mental illness but, rather, seeking to maximize their life potential. This book will help you enter this lucrative and personally enriching world with the skills and knowledge you need to build a successful coaching practice.
'This is a timely and valuable study, for the story of Shakespeare in America is inseparable from that of the nation’s capital. It’s a fascinating history, with many twists and turns, and Drew Lichtenberg and Deborah C. Payne do a superb job of bringing it to life.' James Shapiro, Columbia University, USACo-authored by the resident dramaturg at Shakespeare Theatre Company and a long-time scholarly consultant, this book chronicles how a small repertory troupe at the Folger Theatre on Capitol Hill became an internationally renowned company performing in a lavish, multi-venue performing arts centre in downtown Washington, D.C. The artistic vision and business acumen of Michael Kahn, the founding Artistic Director, largely catalyzed this transformation, but so too did the forces of neoliberalism and, more recently, globalization and new media. Accordingly, Shakespeare in the Theatre: Shakespeare Theatre Company not only examines directorial decision-making but also 3 decades of social and economic change in the nation’s capital, from the complexities of gentrification to the arts policies of successive administrations. In addition to discussions of directorial practice, this book examines the ambivalence of American theatre artists toward their British cultural inheritance. Analyses of representative productions and interviews with Kahn and his British successor, Simon Godwin, illuminate this complex relationship: one that aspires to a cosmopolitan Anglophilia while positioning classically trained American actors as worthy rivals to their counterparts at the RSC and the National Theatre of Great Britain.
