Are you suffering with chronic pain? Are you sick and tired of feeling tired and in pain all of the time? Would you just like to know how to get a break...have some peace in your life and get rid of your every day struggles? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then this book is for you. It is a practical, down to earth guide on finding peace in the midst of your pain and putting an end to your struggles. Elizabeth Ann Johnston is a former nurse whose journey with chronic pain began while lifting a patient at work one day. Four spinal surgeries have left her totally disabled. She has battled chronic pain for over eighteen years with additional diagnoses of fibromyalgia and advanced arthritis in both knees. Her goal has been learning to not only make peace with her situation, but to live with as few medications as possible. She has never had a pain pump or any other outside device to help her with the pain. She has spent years researching alternative/holistic medicine, determining what really works and what is simply "snake oil". She wants to spend the rest of her life teaching people to help themselves and use the power within them to live in peace.
Catherine of Aragon was the first wife and queen of England's most married King, Henry VIII. She did not know it, but she would be immortalised as the first in a line of six queens still hotly debated and discussed today. Catherine and Henry were married for over twenty years, longer than his other five marriages combined, but she knew him even longer. Arriving in England in 1501 to marry Henry's elder brother, Arthur, she was widowed shortly after and was forced to endure seven years of uncertainty and hardship before marrying her second husband. Henry and Catherine were happy and indeed in love on their wedding day in 1509, and they had a lot of shared interests and ambitions. Setbacks and losses would tear apart this once-happy couple. As one of three parties involved in the King's Great Matter, which changed the face of England forever, Catherine refused to back down and fought for what she believed to be right until the very end. This book gives us a glimpse of Catherine's world: her family, her friends, her enemies, and her legacy, which still inspires us with her loyalty and courage to this day.
Jane Seymour is the wife of Henry VIII we know the least about, often written off as 'Plain Jane'. Queen of England for just seventeen months, during her life Jane witnessed some of the most extraordinary events ever to take place in English history, later becoming a part of them. Jane ensured her place in Henry's affections by giving him his much longed for male heir only to tragically lose her life twelve days later leaving behind a motherless son and a devastated husband. For the remainder of his life Henry would honour the mother of his only legitimate son and would come to regard Jane as his 'true and loving wife'. But who was Jane Seymour? Throughout this illustrated book we will find a woman who was neither saint or sinner, but a human being with her own beliefs and causes.
The new face of risky drinking is female. The problem: a global epidemic of bingeing. The solution: a brave new approach to female recovery.
In Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol, award-winning journalist Anne Dowsett Johnston combines in-depth research with her own personal story of recovery, and delivers a groundbreaking examination of a shocking yet little recognized epidemic threatening society today: the precipitous rise in risky drinking among women and girls.With the feminist revolution, women have closed the gender gap in their professional and educational lives. They have also achieved equality with men in more troubling areas as well. In the U.S. alone, the rates of alcohol abuse among women have skyrocketed in the past decade. DUIs, "drunkorexia" (choosing to limit eating to consume greater quantities of alcohol), and health problems connected to drinking are all rising--a problem exacerbated by the alcohol industry itself.Battling for women's dollars and leisure time, corporations have developed marketing strategies and products targeted exclusively to women. Equally alarming is a recent CDC report showing a sharp rise in binge drinking, putting women and girls at further risk.As she brilliantly weaves in-depth research, interviews with leading researchers, and the moving story of her own struggle with alcohol abuse, Johnston illuminates this startling epidemic, dissecting the psychological, social, and industry factors that have contributed to its rise, and exploring its long-lasting impact on our society and individual lives.
