But when Richardson’s own life no longer worked as it once had, a persistent, inner voice offered unmistakable guidance: it was time to reevaluate her life to uncover what really mattered.

With an experienced coach’s intuition and an artist’s eye, Richardson reexamines everything – her marriage, her work, her friendships, and her priorities – gracefully shedding parts of the self that no longer serve along the way. In the end, she not only discovers what really matters at midlife, she invites readers to join her in the inquiry process by providing thought-provoking questions designed to usher them through their own season of transformation. Offering up Richardson’s most powerful teaching tool yet – her own life – Waking Up in Winter takes readers on a brave, spiritual adventure that shows us all how to live a more authentic and meaningful life.

Proven nutrition strategies for optimizing health and combating specific diseases – written for the advanced practice nurse As scientific evidence continues to emerge showing the underlying role nutrition and diet play in preventing and treating common health issues such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer, there's renewed emphasis by healthcare providers on delivering individualized nutrition prescriptions to patients to improve health outcomes. While this role has traditionally been performed in out-patient and in-patient settings by registered dieticians, advanced practice nurses now play a major role in giving diet and nutrition advice to patients and, in some cases, prescribing medical and diet therapy plans. Diet Therapy in Advanced Practice Nursing gathers together the evidence-based guidelines and practices recommended for the prevention, management, and treatment of a variety of disease states. Co-authors Katie Ferraro, RD, and Cheryl Winter, RD, NP, used their combined knowledge and experience in nutrition and nursing practice to write an easy-to-use book that gives readers practical resources such as: Meal planning and tracking tools Nutrition screening, assessment, and counseling techniques Body weight regulation principles Nutrition assessment and monitoring parameters Individual chapters cover nutrition for all major disease states, giving prevention guidelines, medical nutrition and diet therapy recommendations, patient education tools, and detailed complication and side effect considerations. The book concludes with appendices containing key information for clinical reference, including Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) tables, USDA Food Patterns, CDC Growth Charts, and Useful Conversions for Nutrition.
I wrote this book, under what I felt to be a strong conviction by God, to help others who are living through the nightmare of losing a child as I am, a nightmare in which we will never fully wake up from. This is a horrible journey to be on, but someday, I know in my heart that I will be okay. I want others to know, and actually feel, that they are not alone, although the majority of the time we feel as though we are. We stumble through each day, one breath at a time, trying to survive this new life we live without our precious child. In this book, I share my story of grief, the loss of my only child, and my belief that I will see him again. It may be that day that I can truly say I am okay. My deep compassion goes out to others going through this same grief. It may be too bold on my part to say you, and I, are going to be okay, but we have to believe. Grief takes its toll; just don't forget to breathe through it.

Drawing from a variety of sources, the author presents an honest view of the pagan roots of Christmas that the Church has adopted as a sacred holiday. The author goes into detail to show that our Christmas celebration today is nothing more than the ancient pagan festival of Winter Solstice. Jesus has commanded the Church in Revelation 19:4, "Come out of her My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." The Church has mixed the holy with the profane and it is now time to arise, prepare to meet her Heavenly Bridegroom. The author makes the plea to the Church to come out of the paganism that has infiltrated our worship unto Yahweh.
