Through depression, comedy, Catholicism, chemotherapy, the bog, emigration, sex, mastectomy, fear and love, I've Got Cancer, What's Your Excuse? takes a refreshingly irreverent look at life, the stuff it throws at you, and what you do with it, as it ultimately asks: 'Did cancer save me?

Women have struggled for a long time to have more dominion over their own lives. Louise L. Hay, best-selling author of You Can Heal Your Life, The Power Is Within You, and Life: Reflections on Your Journey, shows you how to become a strong and powerful being. She emphasizes that no matter what your past was like, you can learn to empower yourself and rise to the top. Some of the points Louise makes are: · Developing self-worth and self-esteem are the most powerful tools women can have; · A modern woman has the whole world in front of her—she can rise as high as her belief in herself; · Joy and happiness are always within you; · You do not have to feel incomplete without a man by your side; and · Your most important relationship is with yourself.

When LOUISE HAY published the first edition of Empowering Women 20 years ago, her hope was to help all women experience and take ownership of their self-love, self-worth, self-esteem, and rightful, powerful place in the world.

Holidays in Heck takes the reader on a globe-trotting journey to far-reaching places including China, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and the Galapagos Islands. The collection begins after the Iraq War, when P.J. retired from being a war correspondent because he was "too old to keep being scared stiff and too stiff to keep sleeping on the ground." Instead he embarked on supposedly more comfortable and allegedly less dangerous travels - often with family in tow - which mostly left him wishing he were under artillery fire again. The result is a hilarious and oftentimes moving portrait of life in the fast lane - only this time as a husband and father of three. Adventures include: - The first stag hunt in Britain after hunting had been banned. If the British had been half as caring about Indians and American colonists as they are about animals, they'd still rule the world. - A month-long tour of mainland China's economic hubs where P.J. learned that the entire Chinese concept of political freedom and individual liberty can be summed up in the words, 'New Buick'. - A harrowing horseback ride across the mountains of Kyrgyzstan - no towns, no roads, no people. "If something happened to my horse it would be shot. For me, the medical treatment wouldn't be that sophisticated."

Learn WHY excuse making comes from an imbalanced body, mind, and soul, and WHAT to do about it! Learn the answers to the following questions: What is the true definition of excuses and how do they limit my limitless potential? Are my excuses subconsciously defining who I believe myself to be? Am I being limited through cultural, familial, educational, and other forms of mental conditioning? Why do I persist in behaviors that are self-defeating even when I am aware of them? How does nutrition, sleep, exercise and other lifestyle factors affect my mindset? Is excuse making a spiritual disorder? Why am I so negative in my thoughts? Can I harness the power of my Higher Self or God to eliminate my excuses and empower my thoughts? (non-religious) Can I reprogram my brain and permanently rid myself of excuse-making?
