Paperback. Condition: Good. Life's unpredictability is what makes it such a wondrous and adventure filled experience. But anxiety about the unknown and the aftermath of the unforeseen, can be challenging and perhaps, traumatizing. Adeline Lindstrom, a pseudonym for a licensed professional counselor with twenty-five years of experience, discovered this all-too-real truth when she met a storm of life's tragic and trying strikes. Sorting through the rubble emotionally and physically, Lindstrom's descent into chaos unearthed a cavernous insatiable yearning. Depleted by her absurd predicament and that of her family, she's forced to let go of her pride, accept help, and unconditional love for her climb back up. Blaring through her being, she must also address her guilt and adopted assumption of not being good enough. Leaning on her faith, family, counseling background, and her golden retriever, Jack, Lindstrom's sweet and simple loves are uncovered again. Finding Simple Again is an inspiring and courageous tale about discovering light amid the incredible darkness that can fall during life's most tragic and demanding situations. Through the inevitable stress of hard times, there is a choice to be made-and while events can't always be controlled, our reactions to them can be. Make no mistake, the struggle to recover from the depths of despair is challenging in all regards. Finding Simple Again highlights the importance of treating each day as an adventure in our response to obstacles; for it is because of this hopeful outlook that our anxieties can quell, permitting a new direction toward contentment. Lindstrom's witty, comfortable, and humorous writing style engages readers from the start. Her insightful narrative intertwines stories of growing up as the daughter of a renown physician's family, outdoor adventure excursions, skiing, international travel, and a willingness to try new things for perspective, then recalibrate. She successfully depicts why the quest toward individual and family wellbeing are worth each painful step. Because of her unique personal and professional viewpoint, Lindstrom is compelled to address the existing cultural opportunity gap for those not privy to the knowledge or know-how of the counseling field. To fill some of this void, she artfully intertwines her counselor voice as the narrator; the underlying goal to help readers draw real-life parallels thus connecting to their own circumstances and life path. With this unique angle for a memoir, Lindstrom gives the gift of insight in hopes that others can discover clarity and bolster their own relationships. Finding Simple Again is a memoir with a self and family development focus.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Adeline Moore knows how frightening it can be to discover that something vital is missing from your life. It can be even worse to be completely unaware of this hole. Some people have such a distorted view of themselves that they literally can't see what's wrong in their lives. In this inspirational memoir and exploration of self-awareness, Moore uses examples from her own life to show you the importance of seeing the whole picture. She refuses to be blind and holds up a mirror to her own experiences and the experiences of her two troubled parents. The couple experienced illness, homelessness, poverty, and more. Neither was emotionally equipped to deal with the challenges of life, and they both struggled to cope with any kind of change. As she works her way back through their histories, Moore shows you how entwined three lives can be.

This is where self-awareness truly begins.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The emotionally wrenching yet ultimately uplifting memoir of a Chinese woman struggling to win the love and acceptance of her family. Born in 1937 in a port city a thousand miles north of Shanghai, Adeline Yen Mah was the youngest child of an affluent Chinese family who enjoyed rare privileges during a time of political and cultural upheaval.
