The Done Deal (by Susan James) Affecting The Probability of Possibilities (Closing The Gap Between Desire and Fulfillment) Those desires that we have, some that seem elusive, but still calling us, will only be accomplished through higher study and personal development. The Done Deal provides energetic shortcuts for those who feel led to them. Maybe you are one? Susan James (From the ‘Two Sides of Wanting'..chapter) Having All That We Desire Fulfilled, is much easier than all that we currently understand, and which is written about ad nausem, in many books. Meaning it has nothing to do with performing actions/activity so that this and that happens. Meaning, performing some activity, even focused thought energy or at least as we currently understand how to focus thought energy has little or nothing to do in relation to manifesting what we want as it would relate the next level of discovery. ‘We can’t feel the essence of what we truly want, if we aren’t making the effort to expand from the lower density that hides it from us.(sj)’ Susan James Books, a Division of Vast Five features books for personal development, stirred but not shaken, using James’ User Friendly Physics and Susan James Methods of Manifestation.

“If you enjoy your cozy mysteries with a good shot of romance, and a love triangle with a sexy bad boy and a Southern gentleman in the mix, then you will love this. Very reminiscent of the Stephanie Plum books, but the laughs are louder, the romance is sexier and there is a great murder mystery to top it off.” Bella McGuire, Cozy Mystery Book Reviews Savannah Martin has always been a good girl, doing what was expected and fully expecting life to fall into place in its turn. But when her perfect husband turns out to be a lying, cheating slimeball - and bad in bed to boot - Savannah kicks the jerk to the curb and embarks on life on her own terms. With a new apartment, a new career, and a brand new outlook on life, she's all set to take the world by storm. If only the world would stop throwing her curveballs... Silver bells, silver bells... It’s Christmas time in Nashville, and all Savannah wants to unwrap on Christmas morning is Rafe Collier. Unfortunately, things don’t look so good. He’s back in town, but not alone: on his arm is a stunning brunette, just the kind of woman Savannah always suspected was his type. When sixteen-year-old Alexandra Puckett—the daughter of Savannah’s late colleague Brenda Puckett—asks her help in figuring out a way to stop Maybelle Driscoll from marrying Alex’s father Steven, Savannah jumps on the chance. It’ll give her something to think about other than Rafe and the mysterious Carmen, and anyway, she doesn’t like Maybelle much herself. Between investigating Maybelle’s past, helping her clients Aislynn and Kylie buy a house, and stalking Carmen and Rafe, she soon has her hands full. And that’s before someone starts gunning for her. Suddenly it’s not a question of unwrapping anything on Christmas morning anymore; it’s a question of whether she’ll even survive to see another Christmas. “VERDICT: The hilarious dialog and the tension between Savannah and Rafe will delight fans of chick-lit mysteries and romantic suspense.” —Jo Ann Vicarel, Library Journal TOPICS: romantic mystery, romantic suspense, interracial romance, multicultural romance, female protagonist, woman sleuth, amateur sleuth, cozy mystery, Southern humor, mystery series, romance series, bestseller,

Castles & Buttons (Book Three) Susan James How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing Advanced Higher Mechanics Castles & Buttons- Book Three How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing Advanced Higher Mechanics Anyone reading any of the greats from Emerson, Cady to Neville to Abraham-Hicks and so many, many more, from Metaphysics to Theosophy, the Esoteric and beyond, we are told that everything is possible, there are no limits and we can have anything we desire to have. It is that promise which keeps many of us on the steady higher path. The Higher Law operates with simple guidelines: • Have the Idea (which is ‘thought') • Add The Affirmation (which is also ‘thought') All else is taken care of by the Law. For some of us, including me, there have been some in- between stages to the above 2 steps. (As in Don't keep changing our mind by adding doubt, fear, lack of confidence, etc.) We have to expand our understanding of a Source outside of our humanity. At one time, I was so off the path of higher anything, but I didn't know any different. My life reflected my lack of knowledge and understanding. But ‘something' kept me moving higher, bit by bit. ‘Something' kept me safe. And bit by bit, the things that did not feel nor look good in my life, began to drop away. It was my willingness to be open to things I did not yet understand, but wanted to ‘believe' in, such as, the promise of better, of good, of wonder. The Fairy Tale. ‘Something' kept moving me forward into believing in the fairy tale. For me The Fairy Tale was about happy endings, happy in between, happy everything. All of which our culture does not necessary have credence for. This 4th Installment in the Castles Series, this being Castle’s Book 3 continues in the experience of The Promise The Bounty.

Despite decades of activism and scientific consensus about the perils of climate change, our economies remain deeply dependent on fossil fuels. How are we to meet the challenge of global warming before it is too late? Climate Action asks what we must do to begin realizing a green future today. Leading off a forum, Charles Sabel and David G. Victor argue that global climate change diplomacy—from the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to the 2015 Paris Agreement—has monopolized policy thinking but failed to deliver significant results. Instead, the authors suggest we must embrace what they call “experimentalist governance.” Taking inspiration from the pragmatist philosophy of John Dewey as well as from the Montreal Protocol’s successful approach to another environmental crisis—ozone depletion—they contend that deep decarbonization of the economy can only be achieved by integrating bottom-up, local experimentation and top-down, global cooperation. Respondents consider how that program might work in practice, where it fits alongside plans for a Green New Deal, and what political forces climate action must reckon with. Other contributors explore the limitations of carbon pricing, the prospects of recent corporate commitments to rein in emissions, and the nature of life on a polluted and overheated planet. Together they sketch an urgent vision for climate action—now.
