After losing her beloved mother to cancer, Mary Jackson realized she needed to live out her mom’s poetic, poignant reminder to “cherish each moment.” Those words not only led to the creation of a book title, but also a song tribute, the personal commitment to make each moment last, and a dedication to sharing her journey with others. Within a diverse collection featuring poems, spoken word, inspirations, and reflections, Jackson shares the rhythms of an unshakeable heart, insight that illuminates the soul, encouragement that beckons us to move beyond present circumstances, and comfort that reaches its arms around us and draws us in. Throughout this compilation, others will learn to celebrate each moment, practice gratitude, reflect on love and faith, embrace God’s mercy and grace, and keep the faith, despite life’s challenges. Cherish Each Moment shares inspirational writings that offer others time to observe and celebrate every moment in life as a gift from God. “... This book of poetry will bless your life, inspire you, and bring you hope ...” —Rev. Latoya Moseley

PARENTING NEVER ENDS. From the founders of the #1 site for parents of teens and young adults comes an essential guide for building strong relationships with your teens and preparing them to successfully launch into adulthood The high school and college years: an extended roller coaster of academics, friends, first loves, first break-ups, driver’s ed, jobs, and everything in between. Kids are constantly changing and how we parent them must change, too. But how do we stay close as a family as our lives move apart? Enter the co-founders of Grown and Flown, Lisa Heffernan and Mary Dell Harrington. In the midst of guiding their own kids through this transition, they launched what has become the largest website and online community for parents of fifteen to twenty-five year olds. Now they’ve compiled new takeaways and fresh insights from all that they’ve learned into this handy, must-have guide. Grown and Flown is a one-stop resource for parenting teenagers, leading up to—and through—high school and those first years of independence. It covers everything from the monumental (how to let your kids go) to the mundane (how to shop for a dorm room). Organized by topic—such as academics, anxiety and mental health, college life—it features a combination of stories, advice from professionals, and practical sidebars. Consider this your parenting lifeline: an easy-to-use manual that offers support and perspective. Grown and Flown is required reading for anyone looking to raise an adult with whom you have an enduring, profound connection.

What do Quakers mean when they speak of 'that of God in everyone'? And what would be the implications if we held an awareness of the Divine in everyone all of the time? What if we tried genuinely to live this belief day by day, minute by minute, in the encounters we have with our family, friends, and in society at large? Answering that of God is an invitation and a challenge to explore these questions. In seven sections it examines Who we are; reflects on the spiritual values that lie behind the Quaker witness to Truth, Equality, Simplicity and Peace; exhorts us to Let our Lives Speak and finally, in Remembering, urges us to find daily ways of prompting ourselves to do so. Each section offers scope for reflection, alone or in small groups.
