Here, you will explore the stages that make up your life, from wild child, daughter/sister/mother, and loves and lovers, to creative work, friendships, and how the wise woman encounters death.

She could easily see where adjustments were needed to meet the recommended nutrient levels from each of the food groups. When it comes to choosing foods for your health and happiness, ignorance is not bliss in the grocery store. Using the examples in the book, you can design your own spreadsheet to include your personal nutrition needs for your goals. You don't need to forget about your comfort foods either.

The first three books in the bestselling Marketville Mystery series, now available in one collection. Calamity (Callie) Barnstable never dreamed that one day she’d be solving cold cases in the small town of Marketville, but that’s exactly where life has led her. Turns out, she’s got a flair for digging up the truth—even when the truth wants to remain firmly in the past. Skeletons in the Attic (Book 1): Calamity (Callie) Barnstable isn’t surprised to learn she’s the sole beneficiary of her late father’s estate, though she is shocked to discover she has inherited a house in the town of Marketville with one condition: she must move to Marketville, live in the house, and solve her mother’s murder. Callie’s not keen on dredging up a thirty-year-old mystery, but if she doesn’t do it, there’s a scheming psychic named Misty Rivers who hopes to expose the Barnstable family secrets herself. Determined to thwart Misty and fulfill her father’s wishes, Callie accepts the challenge. But is she ready to face the skeletons hidden in the attic? Past & Present (Book 2): It’s been thirteen months since Callie inherited the house in Marketville. She solves the mystery, but what next? Unemployment? Another nine-to-five job in Toronto? She decides to set down roots in Marketville, take the skills and knowledge she acquired over the past year, and start her own business: Past & Present Investigations.

Calamity (Callie) Barnstable and her team at Past & Present Investigations have been hired to find out what happened to Brandon and where he might be.

Today's planes fly at high speeds and great heights. They quickly transport passengers, mail, cargo, and our armed forces around the world.

If you are a caregiver, nurse, medical staff, family, or maybe a loved one to a person with a brain injury, or possibly a reader who knows we don't all live the fictionally perfect "Hollywood Life," you must read my book. You will look at life from behind the eyes of my eighty-eight-year-old mother who was encumbered and burdened with a left-sided brain injury. It not only scrambled her memory and brain, it scrambled the lives of all who loved her as well. A blood clot was putting pressure on her brain. Mother could no longer live alone, so I started writing down her incidents and accidents, our conversations and her confusion, and our activities as we traveled together down an unknown road. I started writing to keep my family updated. We were blessed to get to keep our mother longer following her cranial surgery, but we found we had been gifted with a revised edition. She did not come with an instruction manual. The world that slowly encompassed her, and the difficulty she had residing in the world she used to know, made memories that were far too precious, far too unique, far too emotional not to write about, so that's just what I did. These stories did not have to be created, embellished, or made up, for reality took us on an awesome adventure that began with my mother's cranial surgery. My son and I climbed into her world, as she was not comfortable in ours. She had lost the memory of most of her life, but amazingly, she remembered her own childhood like it was yesterday. Many times, she told me she must go home because her parents didn't know where she was, and they would be waiting for her. She was wandering and lost in the first quarter of her life.
