Unlocking Right Brain Creativity

By: William A. Donius

Changing Lives Press

The Thought Evolution, applies the science

to help us learn to think differently. The book

years and with hundreds of interview subjects

in demonstrating how to enable the creative,

intuitive right hemisphere to weigh in on our

thought processes to help us better understand

the obstacles we face and even the lies we may

be telling ourselves. Learning to tap into the

right brain is similar to learning a new

language. But, it is far simpler! Find out what

awaits in the subconscious.

In Bed With The Badge

The Barbara Sheehan StoryBy: Jennifer Sheehan and Michele Matrisciani

Barbara Sheehans husband used her face

as a punching bag. When he wasnt smacking

her around, he was threatening her life and the

lives of their children or calling her names or

throwing food or smashing her head against

the cement walls. Why didnt Barbara just call

the police? Raymond was the police.

In Bed with the Badge is BarbaraSheehans introspective journey told through

the eyes of her daughter, Jennifer, on what it is

like to be a battered woman trapped within her

own silence and shame. How her husbands

occupation as a sergeant detective with the

NYPD intensified the situation and what

ultimately led her to shoot and kill him in self-

defense one fateful night three years ago. What

Barbara reveals through this intense

examination of her loveless, violent, and

obscene marriage will shock readers to their

core.

What was going on in Raymonds career

while his fuse was becoming shorter and

beatings becoming longer? How did the

NYPD contribute to his brutality? What would

she do about her husbands extramarital affairs

with transvestite hookers and his gay lifestyles?

What happened when she found the courage

to confront him or defend herself? Pulling

back the curtain on a relationship of ultimate

deprivation and distortion,In Bed with the Badge,

brings the dynamics, complexities, and realities

of domestic abuse.

be eating foods that are filled with Naked

Calories--void of any nutritional value, which

could be hurting your health.
