concepts developed by Dr. Frank Plateroti whom inspired thousands of
university students.

  “It is my strong believe that healthy and loving relationships are the only thing in life that really have true value and meaning.” Thus is the essence of Speak No Evil, the Search of Our Self-Esteem, Self-Worth, and Self-Empowerment. Meaningful and rewarding relationships requires both positive intrapersonal (self-talk) and interpersonal (with others) communication, which develops and maintains meaningful relationships — or destroy them through gossiping, jealousy, resentment, and begrudging. “These societal and relational cancers destroy the good until there is nothing good left.” 

First and foremost, the most important relationship is the relationship is with ourselves.  If we don’t have an honest and healthy relationship with ourselves through honest intra-personal communication, it may be impossible to have a healthy and rewarding relationship with others. Having an honest relationship with ourselves requires an understanding of the importance of self-esteem. “Honest self-esteem enables us to be confident, appropriately modest, accepting the responsibility of our own actions and always being humble and sincere.” Healthy self-esteem in turn effects our self-empowerment and allows us to increase our self-worth. To help develop healthy self-esteem, we must accept our Birth Destiny, which is the situation we are born into, regardless if it is an advantaged or disadvantaged situation: Either way, we are no better or worse than anyone else.  As adults we move into our Life Destiny, which means we are responsible for our actions and life’s consequences. 

To be truly fulfilled, it is our relationships that have the most value and rewards. It is what makes life worth living and we have the power to change our life’s direction by understanding that, “Our past does not have to determine our present or future. We can begin a new life today.”

In this sizzling Regency romance by USA Today bestselling author Tracy
Sumner, a notorious earl, and an infamous hellion need to face an
unforgettable passion.

 

A scarred earl with a big heart—and a big problem.

Since his return from war, the Earl of Stanford’s life has been
anything but simple. A meddling older brother, a raucous group of friends, a
crumbling estate, and an injury that forever changed him. Now this. Her. His
brother’s bright idea of a way out. The most infamous landscape
architect in England arriving on his doorstep to restore his ruined gardens
and his ruined heart. Only, Ollie Aspinwall isn’t falling for this
sibling ploy.

He’s content to hide in the country, a brooding, stargazing, lost
soul.

A gorgeous hellion with wild dreams—and a wild challenge.

Necessity Byrne has heard the rumors about the Scarred Earl. A walking
scandal, she’s used to flouting convention and shocking society, so
the offer to assist a reclusive peer with beautification of his estate is a
project she’d consider. Except for the ripple of awareness that dances
along her skin every time she recalls meeting the handsome, steely eyed rake
years ago. A dilemma she doesn’t care to solve—even if she wants
the job.

However, she’s a woman determined to take every dare offered
her.

So, they agree to disagree for the sake of the earldom’s gardens, all
the while battling a breathless, rampant attraction—until Ollie
decides he wants to keep her. Can he persuade his feisty, adorable gardener
to accept a besotted, broken-down earl with dreams of a family and
love?

Come along on this sizzling slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, sorta second
chance romp!

social life, and Sam, that good-looking guy Kat met last summer, just
happens to still be around. But oh no! Sam turns out to be a professional
hockey player with an ego the size of the biggest mountain in the state. Not
only is Kat a little man-shy, but she has no interest in wasting her time
trying to tame that wild one.

However, when injured dogs start turning up in the woods, Kat must find a
way to help. Before she knows it, Kat is tangled up in the small
town’s dark side. Will she rescue the animals? Will she accept
Sam’s help? Will the townsfolk finally have enough with whoever, or
whatever, is hurting their dogs?
