C.H.O.I.C.E.S. Model: Choosing Love Instead of Fear is a self-empowerment book which was 35 years in the making and based on extensive research.That research distilled down to its essence demonstrates that stress is not, as is often portrayed in popular culture, the enemy. Data from two separate fields, academia, and industry, while having opposing views on who is responsible for reducing felt stress, both agree that the primary mitigator of harmful distress is locus of control (LOC).Internal LOC locates the control within the individual whereas external LOC locates the control from outside forces. The consensus by academia and industry is the more LOC is internal, the less distress is felt. Chosen versus imposed stressors yield less harmful impacts from the distress.This research becomes a powerful tool to help reduce distress by restoring control to the individual. Life can be so overwhelming that automatic knee jerk reactions are used to fend off a constant barrage of stressors. The CHOICES Model provides a way to be proactive. The more this is done consciously the greater the sense of wellbeing.The book presents seven life areas which give purpose and meaning. The areas include Community, Health, Occupation, Investment, Creativity, Education, and Spirituality. Each is essential to a quality life. The premise of this book is that an individual's perception of their own personal power increases with every small success and one area of success gives the individual confidence to believe in themselves enough to attempt challenges in the other domains.There's a chapter for each of these seven equally important domains. Each area is defined along with the rationale and tools necessary for personal development. Community is important because we are social beings with needs for belonging. Letting someone know you care allows joy to spring through both your hearts.No matter our physical or mental condition, health matters to all of us. Our personal level of wellbeing sets the limits for what can be our personal best. Build strength and immunity when feeling well and be gentle with yourself when you're not.Occupation is important because we all have a need to be part of something bigger than ourselves; a calling to make a difference; and a desire to leave a meaningful legacy. This needn't be one's vocation. It is literally what occupies our time and energy. It may be an avocation or volunteer service work. However we spend our time, let our life's work lift our hearts and move us all into better days.Investment is not limited to finances. This area is all about how we spend our resources. Besides money, it includes our time, energy, and level of commitment. Let's be generous and give of ourselves without expecting anything in return. In this way we all have the power to be superheroes.Creativity is important because it defines who we are. We build a life. We express who we are. We make something that only we can imagine. Expressions from our hearts are never wasted. When we bring something new into this world we give birth to something that will survive us.Education is something we do naturally and have done since we took our first breath. Lifelong learning helps us make our way in the world. We know that reading to a child instills curiosity and ignites intelligence. Let's read to a child tonight and if that's not possible, let's all continue reading to our inner child.Finally, spirituality provides transcendence to see and feel beyond our limitations and provides love when facing the void. Namaste The light within me bows to the light within you. Let's spread this message and celebrate the sacred in each other.

Once the rival of Dodge City and Cheyenne, for years Tascosa, Texas, lay a ghost town of crumbling adobes. Today almost all traces of frontier Tascosa are gone, replaced by the ultramodern stone buildings which make up a self-contained city of boys and administrative staff - Cal Farley's famed Boys Ranch.Maverick Town tells the story of the rise and decline of Old Tascosa, which epitomized the romance and danger of the early West. Tascosa's heyday was brief, yet it compressed into a few years the history of an era - that of the open range - which will never return.
The Changing Outplacement Process

The Changing Outplacement Process

With downsizing, layoffs, and other retrenchment measures afflicting both public and private sectors, outplacement consulting has grown from a minor specialty among human resources (HR) firms and practitioners into an important industry. Meyer and Shadle explore changes that have occurred in the outplacement process--as well as its practice--to provide a clearer understanding of what it is and what it offers organizations and their employees. Clearly written and designed to assist management and their HR professionals, the book provides not only an insight into the meaning of job loss and its devastating impact on workers and the organization, but also a way to help lessen the blow to both. Among the topics explored here are the seven dimensions of the new careerism, an inclusive definition of outplacement, a complete and objective review and analysis of the elements of the outplacement and career transition process, and a description of the different kinds of assessment typically offered as part of outplacement. It also provides an inside look into this multimillion-dollar industry, its organization and markets, trends, and the industry's burgeoning technology. The authors answer such questions as: Why does one need outplacement counseling? Why do corporations pay for it and how much? How do outplacement firms contact and contract with corporations? How can the outplacement firm provide consultation to downsizing corporations? This book is a well-researched practical resource for all organizations and their employees in this economically difficult decade.
Body Intelligence a New Paradigm: Living a Heart-Centered Life in a Mind-Centered World
Activate your bigger intelligence. Most of us walk through life relying on rational thinking and half-baked ideas as our guide. This clear and refreshing book will help you get out of the old rut of thinking only with your brain. Dr. Mayfield has cracked the code on the mysteries of how the body and mind (actually a bodymind) function together. By combining western medical physiology with classical acupuncture theory, he has pulled back the curtain with stories and simple understanding that let everyone feel their own bodymind connection. With seven simple habits, he shows us how to step out of the pain and suffering of mind-centered consciousness and fully live in the heart-centered world of our own making. You will learn how to: - Release painful memories and old traumas - Take control of your multi-dimensional body intelligence - Tune into "first feelings" and listen to your innate wisdom - Rediscover the joy of movement you felt as a child - Bring your life into harmony with how all your organs operate - Experience your best, illuminated self - Achieve peace of mind

How I learned to love my travel crate and travel with my two humans. Princess Buttercup The Cat is a keen observer and breaks the age-old cat code of silence because she knows her book by a cat about a cat with its cat humor will be way better than any book by a human. Her tell-all travel adventure with her humans in a 5 day 4 night cross-country dash in the heat of summer - cat under a hot tin roof - includes many humorous anecdotes and reveals a with-it, outspoken, and witty tuxedo cat whose humility, compassion, and strong dose of attitude shine through. She often listens to her humans and shares some of their experiences as well.Princess Buttercup left her heart near San Francisco and tells her story in her own voice of her Road Trip #3 from her Pennsylvania home to her California home - California or bust - highlighting the perplexing behavior of humans in general and her humans in particular. Covering 2,976 miles in 5 days and crossing 12 states is a grueling but enlightening experience. She stays in pet-friendly hotels where she gets her own Princess Buttercup Luggage Cart. She describes her close encounter of the third kind with a Weimaraner in a hotel elevator. As a mile high kitty, she also stays in the Colorado home of her man human's brother and mate along with 12 paws of the dog kind. Princess Buttercup describes the behavior and challenges of the barkers and the local wildlife. Princess Buttercup gives a cat's eye view of the vastness and beauty of the USA, the most celebrated section of the interstate highway system, the plains, the deserts, the mountains, the buttes, and the valleys, and an abandoned stealth airplane and Vegas, Baby, with wry comments from the comfort of her crate. She goes through a sandstorm, dust devils, tumbling tumbleweeds, thunderstorms - have you ever seen the rain coming down on a sunny day - and 111 F heat. She relates the challenges of leash management and eating on the road. An easy and fun read, Princess Buttercup's book is full of quips and feline insights about life, humans, cats, dogs, and more. It's also a how-to book about family travel with a cat. Princess Buttercup's humans, who took notes and transcribed her story, are authors themselves and seasoned travelers. To purr or not to purr, that is the question.

Combinatorics of Train Tracks

Combinatorics of Train Tracks

Measured geodesic laminations are a natural generalization of simple closed curves in surfaces, and they play a decisive role in various developments in two-and three-dimensional topology, geometry, and dynamical systems. This book presents a self-contained and comprehensive treatment of the rich combinatorial structure of the space of measured geodesic laminations in a fixed surface. Families of measured geodesic laminations are described by specifying a train track in the surface, and the space of measured geodesic laminations is analyzed by studying properties of train tracks in the surface. The material is developed from first principles, the techniques employed are essentially combinatorial, and only a minimal background is required on the part of the reader. Specifically, familiarity with elementary differential topology and hyperbolic geometry is assumed. The first chapter treats the basic theory of train tracks as discovered by W. P. Thurston, including recurrence, transverse recurrence, and the explicit construction of a measured geodesic lamination from a measured train track. The subsequent chapters develop certain material from R. C. Penner's thesis, including a natural equivalence relation on measured train tracks and standard models for the equivalence classes (which are used to analyze the topology and geometry of the space of measured geodesic laminations), a duality between transverse and tangential structures on a train track, and the explicit computation of the action of the mapping class group on the space of measured geodesic laminations in the surface.
