Summary

This “fantastic collection of the Mountain State's ghostlore . . . takes readers into the legends and the phenomena like no one else can” (Jeff Belanger, author of The World’s Most Haunted Places). Rich in history and natural splendor, West Virginia also boasts a wealth of unexplained mysteries. In this volume, noted paranormal researcher Rosemary Ellen Guiley delves into more than one hundred accounts of hauntings from across the state.   From the restless spirits of the Hatfields and McCoys to John Brown’s ghost at Harper’s Ferry, Guiley shows that the region’s history is still very much with us. She also explores lesser-known mysterious places such as Droop Mountain, where headless spectors roam, and the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, a site replete with tortured phantoms. Around the campfire or tucked away on a dark and stormy night, this big book of ghost stories is a hauntingly good read.

    You are here because you are in a lot of pain. Your heart has been broken into a million pieces and the person that you love is gone. This is a really hard place to be and nobody wants to be here. The book starts where you are, as the author documents the experience of being left by his wife. Then it blazes a path to help you through the process of solitude, discovery, and healing. The book is simple, straightforward, and full of vulnerability and honesty. It skips the arrogant and condescending nature of many self-help books, and instead speaks from the heart. Mr. Vineberg imbues the text with his heart and soul, sharing hard-earned wisdom that stems from his own introspection and suffering. Left Alone to Learn is about love, respect, and intimate relationships. It offers essential insights into the nature of human interactions. It fortifies your spirit and soothes your heartache. It is direct and to the point, and most importantly - it works!

    Intuitive eating means listening to the signals your body sends you. It's all a matter of self-love. The intuitive eating model was developed in 1995 by two California dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. 
    All of us, at birth, ate following our intuition. Small children are the perfect example: they eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. The amount of food they ingest changes virtually every day. Once they eat two whole courses, other times they stop after just a few bites. 
    As we grow up, we use intuition less when it comes to food. In childhood we were told that if we wanted dessert we had to finish what we had on our plate first. We have learned that there are good and other bad foods. The result of these lessons? As adults, when we eat "good" foods, we feel good about ourselves. But if we eat "bad" foods, we end up feeling guilty. The purpose of intuitive eating is to fundamentally change the way we think about food, and this can only be done through a new learning process. 
    Intuitive eating is not a diet; indeed, it is the opposite. You don't have to count calories or macronutrients, and there's no plan for your meals. All foods are allowed. If you eat while listening to your body, you will learn to be more aware of the signals you are receiving. Eat when you are hungry, stop when you reach satiety. You will then understand what you need. It can be a salad, but also a slice of chocolate cake. And that's fine.

    When we allow ourselves to embrace both ordinary and extraordinary experiences, we can feel the divine anywhere. 
    No matter where we are—on a walk in the woods, in a sacred building, or in a dusty refugee camp—signs of love abound. There is no secret formula to experiencing the sacred in our lives, it just takes practice and practicality. 
    You’re invited to search this path with entrepreneur Becca Stevens as she explores what it means to be practically divine. Woven throughout the narrative are poetry and rants, as well as ruminations on her mother’s wit, wisdom, and passion. 
    In Practically Divine, Becca shares how to live a life that’s practically divine by:Redefining old lies and stories, to learn from the pastAppreciating the gifts that come from imperfections or traumaUsing creativity to spark new revolutionsAccepting the chaos of the unknown before us with courageSharing in a feast of love, knowing there’s enough mercy and forgiveness 
    Embracing the practically divine compels us to do something, anything, to share in the feast of love together. When we start from wherever we are, we can recognize the potential for humor, wonder, and freedom. 
    Practically Divine teaches you to use your senses to transform information into holy compassion. When we open our hearts to it, we can experience the divine anywhere - like sacred breadcrumbs marking our path.
