    This detachment creates enough freedom in your life and mind to experience real contentment. Contentment is the key–it is not complacency, but more akin to satisfaction and cherishing. Minimalists are known for living well with less stuff. The point isn’t just having less stuff, but the benefits of having less stuff: more space, more time, more money, less trash, less cleaning, less organizing, less stress. The amount of time and space freed up is compounded by the sense of time and space regained, which gives back a precious sense of serenity and control to previously harried lives. Minimalists give Less a chance, and have almost universally experienced an amazing amount of contentment as a result. Minimalism is living with just what you need. Needs are defined individually. Minimalism can include, but is not limited to, frugality or simple living. It can be done expensively, as in having the very best of just a very few things, or it can be done on a pittance. It is ideally debt-free. Space and time are given high value. Unrewarding things or activities are kept to a minimum. A wonderful thing happens along the Minimalist path: you realize you’ve got enough mental and physical space to be yourself, that you are more than the sum total of your possessions, and you actually feel that you are enough in and of yourself. That’s a feeling akin to contentment. And that’s why a Minimalist approach to life, stuff, and everything is a good way to Have it All.

    Today, we can say that reflexology is ideal for not only curing pain (which is a primary symptom showing something is amiss in your body) but also the root cause of the pain. It is little wonder then that reflexology therapy has become very popular as a form of holistic healing, unlike pharmaceutical drugs that mostly address only the symptoms. High stress, chronic fatigue, back pain, and fibromyalgia are only a few examples of unwelcome conditions that can easily be alleviated through the practice of reflexology. Not to mention that reflexology is a great form of disorder prevention too! This book will teach you all about the practice of reflexology, including how to self-perform reflexology and practice it on others.

Grant can't wait to get Danica on film or into his bed. He's done with the friend zone and this trip to paradise is the perfect opportunity to show his college crush he's the man in charge, of her career and her bed.

All when this trip was just supposed to be a Curvy Diversion. If you like curvy girl BBW romance with some BDSM power play between a sexy photographer and a Dominatrix you'll love this book! Author Interview with Aidy Award: Q - So, what makes the Curvy Love Series special? When I set out to write the Curvy Love Series I wanted to write about a BBW (Big, Beautiful Woman) who was someone I would want to read about. My top picks are usually Romance series with kickin’ curvy women who fall in love with some hot alpha males. I like any of the thousands of spicy, contemporary romance novels featuring women like me, women I can relate to. The Curvy Love books are a great way for me to show that plus-size, rubensenque, titian, BBW, whatever you call yourself, can have an erotic romance, real love, and lots of dirty fun. We need more diversity in books and especially body positivity. My curvy heroines don’t always have it all together at the beginning of the story, but you can bet on some great growth, learning to accept themselves as amazing, and fall in love with a sexy hero along the way. Q - What order should I read the books in? A - I’ve written the series so you can read the books in any order, and all the story threads will tie up nicely by the time you're finished. There are lots of cross-overs in the timelines, so it’s fun to find re-visit your favorite characters from another heroine’s point of view. If you do want to read them in order, I'd suggest the following sequence: - Curvy Diversion - Curvy Temptation - Curvy Persuasion - The Curvy Seduction Serial - Curvy Domination (coming soon) Q - Why should readers give these books a try? A - Because the Curvy Love series is fun romantic comedy (I love to write so my readers get to laugh out loud!), but it also has lots of sexy times set in a BDSM club, so it’s also really hot. Ultimately, readers who enjoy panty-melting heroes, heroines who are real women, with a romance that keeps you reading will get a kick out of this series. Q - Can readers get the whole series in one go? A – I’ll be releasing a few bundles soon if people want to save a little moolah and grab all the books in one swoop. Check out my author page here at Amazon for more details, and a full list of my available titles. Many hugs and thanks for reading!

    But competing visions for what a man is to be--some growing out of popular culture and others arising from flawed teaching in the church--are exacerbating the problem. Richard Phillips believes it is possible to cut through all of this confusion by consulting the Bible. Only in the pages of Scripture, he asserts, can men find a clear explanation of their God-given roles as leaders, husbands, fathers, and churchmen. Beginning in Genesis, Phillips shows that God commissioned Adam to work and tend the Garden of Eden. In these twin tasks, he perceives a template for manhood, one that, when carried out with diligence, provides dignity to men, service to mankind, and glory to God. He then goes on to show that men are called to lead, to love their wives, to discipline their children, and to serve the church of Jesus Christ. Here is biblical exposition of the most practical sort teaching that reveals not only what men are to think but what they are to be.

    L. King’s On the Down Low, Hung brings a topic previously discussed only in intimate settings out into the open. In a brilliant, multilayered look at the pervasive belief that African American men are prodigiously endowed, Scott Poulson-Bryant interweaves his own experiences as a black man in America with witty analyses of how black male sexuality is expressed in books, film, television, sports, and pornography.“Hung” is a double entendre, referring not only to penis size but to the fact that black men were once literally hung from trees, often for their perceived sexual prowess and the supposed risk it posed to white women. As a poignant reminder, he begins his book with a letter to Emmett Till, the teenager who was lynched in Mississippi in the mid-1950s for whistling at a white woman.For Poulson-Bryant and other men of his generation, society’s deep-seated obsession with the sexual powers of black men has had an enormous, if often deceptive, influence on how they perceive themselves and on the assumptions made by others. His tales of his sexual encounters with both sexes, along with anecdotes about the lives of various friends and colleagues, are wryly and at times shockingly revealing. Enduring racial perceptions have shaped popular culture as well, and Poulson-Bryant offers a thorough, thought-provoking look at media-created images of the “Well-Hung Black Male.” He deftly deconstructs movies like Mandingo and Shaft, articles in the popular press, and edgy works like Robert Mapplethorpe’s Black Book, while also providing distinctive profiles of icons like porn star Lexington Steele and rapper L.L. Cool J.A scintillating mixture of memoir and cultural commentary, Hung is the first and only book to take on phallic fixation and uncover what lies below. Readers may be scandalized, but they’ll also have plenty to ponder about America’s views on how black men measure up.

    Grunting males have offered little help or guidance for their eager-to-learn companions, instead occupying themselves with chest thumping, sports on cable and other testosterone-driven posturing.
