As we move into the Age of Aquarius, the earth's children have the unique, and inherent capacity to help us raise the energy of the planet to that of a more loving and caring world. These children are coming to earth with different energy, and many adults are finding that old ways of doing things simply do not work for these young people, who are often referred to as Indigo Kids. When these wonderful children embrace their core energy as loving, creative beings, they awaken to their natural gifts. This book is designed to assist parents and children in this process.

When we open to life, we naturally embrace our true natures as beings of Divine Love. We rediscover a deep and nurturing connection to the Universal Love supporting our journeys of earth. This work resonates to the higher truth that at the core of our existence, we are deeply connected to all life. The poetic prose acts as a prayer to life, calling us to remember the deep connection we have with all beings, reminding us that we too carry the balanced and benevolent love of the Creator within our own hearts, as our own beautiful Source of love. As a conduit, psychic medium, and channel for Gaia, the author combines stunning nature photography with poetic prose to celebrate earth, water, fire, and air as living bearers of love, who unconditionally support our journeys within Gaia's vast embrace. Excerpt "When I hear blossom petals jostling with brittled leaves, released at last from winter's grasp, like curled, bronzed kites that dance across the sun-crossed street...I sense them move in waves, like swishing brushstrokes that waltz in tandem with your vast and vaporous body. The hardened leaves skip crisscross over the pavement, their tips echoing like faint stacattoed plucks...of far-off violins that rise and fall in pitch and duration. Like racing siblings, the new and old fly upon your playful breath... higher still, like colored flocks of tiny birds who swirl and dive in rounded dusty-rose and pearl-hued whites. With wistful abandon, they flutter by, pausing only briefly still, to kiss my skin, and then to finally rest upon the green-gray canvas, like plumped dots of glistening snow in full-bloomed spring that soon will fade and melt into the grass. Within my open heart, your gentle swirls of breath, like tips of white-winged doves sooth my soul with deep connection--the precious wonder that is our beloved Gaia. I close my eyes and breathe in life, and I smell your essence painting earth, releasing birth to death and back again. Your ever-changing body surrounds me, enticing me with balanced Mother/Father Love, as if your warm, and yet elusive being would carry me to some place magical--far, far away, yet still so very close to my true heart that somehow, you feel even more like Home, than home itself. I feel your cleansing presence, urging me to dance with passion--the conscious breath within my beating heart. I thank you for your gifts of death and birth, and I remember that I, too, move freely as this love."

When the dam high above their home breaks, destroying the Pesca Village and its people, twins Naru and Nava both believe that they are the sole survivor. Each one feels responsible for the village's destruction. The orphaned siblings are taken in by two tribes some distance apart. In their new homes, Naru is forced to deny his training as a shaman and to reluctantly take on a Christian identity. Nava becomes a caretaker for a mentally-ill couple with a shadowy past. Dark and sinister secrets emerge in both villages that threaten to destroy the siblings. Will the forces that separated them ultimately reunite them, or are they destined to die apart from each other? This story embraces the flow and life-blood of earth that is rooted in the sacred connection to all things. When fate seemingly rips that nurturing existence away from Nava and Naru, they are forced to confront their deepest fears. This tale visits the mental prisons that compel people, via tradition and lack of self-love, to create layers of pain and suffering. It explores the choices to ignore one's heart and then moves with graceful courage and humor to release the wounds of life. At its essence, Nothing Dark Lasts Forever is a tale of redemption, forgiveness, and the healing power of love itself. It ultimately elevates human understanding, by suggesting a deeper and more compassionate connection behind the difficulties of being human. It is a story that gently asks each of us to look inside our own hearts and to allow more compassion to shape our perceptions of life.

For Jennifer Jensen, growing up in a small Mormon community has not been easy. She doesn't fit in and she asks the wrong kinds of questions. Worse yet, she gets turned on by her bishop. When the school district hires Linda Peck to coach the girls' sports teams, Jen immediately bonds with the young Mormon coach. The connection deepens as Peck, an outspoken feminist, gracefully turns the school's social norms on their head and refuses to cow down to the domineering school administrator, Kertis Jezzman. Believing that Peck is a lesbian and has corrupted her players, Jezzman seizes an opportunity to facilitate the coach's sudden resignation. Convinced that reform is needed, he crafts a plan to sabotage the girls' season and to straighten out their values. Little does he realize the effect of Peck's empowering influence, nor the determination of Jen Jensen to captain her team through Jezzman's wild and crazy storm.

Frida Cahto embarks on an adventure to understand her human. The garden's meditating spider, Bhodvi Rachnid, tells Frida that the meaning of life is 47 and counsels her to see the world through human eyes, but the cat's perceptions only serve to muddle things. In Magic Land, the Fairy Trees serve as mirrors to Frida and help the cat to see and love herself more deeply, and to assist her in expressing her own authentic beauty through art. Frida returns to the garden where the wise spider divulges the true meaning of 47. Perturbed that the spider continues to call her Grasshopper, Frida threatens to eat him. Many of the illustrations in the book utilize innovative photographic techniques, shooting photos through filters and capturing distorted reflections off of metal. Through the eyes of a cat, readers get a humorous glimpse into how changing our perceptions can help us find a deeper connection with the earth and those around us, and to nurture greater compassion and love within ourselves. Ages 12 and up. Excerpt More paintings appeared. "Oh, so exquisite," the cat exclaimed. Frida smiled and looked at the many reflections of herself. "I have many beautiful expressions." She purred loudly. The Fairy Trees nodded. "So true. Who you are--all of you is very beautiful, indeed. In Magic Land, when you learn to see yourself from the heart of unconditional love and acceptance, you open to your authentic beauty. Then you clearly see that you are a shining light, one that glimmers from within your heart, lit from your own pure Source of Love. When you realize this, dear Cattail, you no longer fear to express who you are. You then know that the light within your own heart is always true and bright, as is the Heart Light that also shines within every living being." "I am so happy," exclaimed Frida. "Of course, you do know that I already knew this." She purred. "A cat is a wonderful thing, and I'm the only one that is just like me." She bounced around on the ground and laughed. "My paws are like springs." She made a funny growl and then sat. A perplexed look came over her face. "Why did I just do that?"
