Sara, a Canadian saga Audrey Austin

Wishes Come True Garfield McAdam
Fiction - Short Stories Available through Author only! Short Story: Deadly Legacy: Filled with fear, I am starting to feel panicky and sick to my stomach. In my head, I yell and scream. “Help! Help! Help me! I’m trapped down here! Help me!” I know it is of no avail; it’s hopeless. If she buried me like she promised, there’s not a soul anywhere around up there that could help me. Besides, now my mouth is covered with duct tape forcing me to breathe through my nose. My yelling and screaming is mumbled. I want to bang and scratch on the lid of my coffin, but I’m bound by the rug and cannot use my arms or hands. There is no help for me. The panic and fear overwhelm me and I pass out once more. Some time later, when I reawaken, something has happened, I am strangely calm and peaceful. I have no desire to struggle or yell. I understand I must relax, stay still and focus on the words and pictures. “What words and pictures?” I ask myself. “The ones in your head that depict everything that ever happened in your whole life... You do know that just before someone dies, their whole life flashes in front of their eyes, reminding them of all the good and bad things which occurred in their lifetime.” It’s a voice from the past, the long distant past. Thirty years, give or take a few either way. It’s a kind, loving voice that belongs to someone who cared, and still cares…Gran. |

| How Can Heaven Be Better? Ted M. Fielder
Memoirs Available through Author only! My life may not have been monumental - but if yours has been as lucky as mine - as full and rich, exciting and sometimes just a shade difficult, then you may find some of this story a bit similar to your own. As I read and reread these words I am constantly amazed at how much has happened to and around me over the almost four score years. And it ain’t over yet! Writing this has made me recognize that you don’t have to be King of the Castle to reap the rewards of friendship, love and all happiness. I would bet that you have a lot to be happy about, too. And writing your story could be one of the best gifts to the future generations of your family that you could ever leave behind. Simple life can have such a pile of treasure built up over the years as would make the crustiest pirate jealous. And writing your story may be, as is mine, an effort to say thank you. . .

Keeping it Simple Audrey Austin
Self Help Available through Author only!
Emotional
Healing through Meditation, As a Psychospiritual Therapist and co-owner of Creative Connections Centre in Caledon East, it was my privilege and pleasure, in addition to carrying on a private counseling practice, to facilitate meditation and other personal growth classes in our “One Room Schoolhouse”. It was not uncommon for an interested student to attend his first introductory meditation class with no prior knowledge of meditation or of the chakra system. For this reason I found it beneficial and in the highest interest of all concerned to keep it simple. Simplicity in meditation, as in life, is an admirable goal. My students and I recognized as classes proceeded that it was not always easy to be simple. Life, with its myriad of challenges, has a habit of doing its best to get in the way. Nevertheless we kept our focus on this goal and felt grateful when it was achieved. By special request of some of our Centre’s students I put together some rough notes and this teaching material was utilized in class. Since offering the Meditation Circles at Holy Trinity United Church and also the Emotional Healing Classes through Learning in Retirement in Elliot Lake, I have received requests for a book on the topic of self-discovery and personal growth. These requests have encouraged me to get to work and expand on my earlier rough notes to create this book: Keeping it Simple It is my highest hope that you, the reader, will find it a useful guide as you continue your journey along the path of self-discovery and personal growth.
