Here you'll find all of our articles and book
excerpts, categorized by topic. As we made this page, we
discovered that some of the topics have no articles yet, and some
of the articles ended up falling under topics that still have no
page. So over the next few months we'll be working to
rectify that situation, bringing you new pages to fit some of the
articles, and new articles that fit some of our pages. In
any case, we hope that you find something that you're looking for! |

Yes, life
can be mysterious and confusing--but there's much of life that's
actually rather dependable and reliable. Some principles apply
to life in so many different contexts that they can truly be called
universal--and learning what they are and how to approach them and use
them can teach us some of the most important lessons that we've ever
learned.
My doctorate is in Teaching and Learning. I use it a lot when I
teach at school, but I also do my best to apply what I've learned to
the life I'm living, and to observe how others live their lives.
What makes them happy or unhappy, stressed or peaceful, selfish or
generous, compassionate or arrogant? In this book, I've done my
best to pass on to you what I've learned from people in my life,
writers whose works I've read, and stories that I've heard.
Perhaps these principles can be a positive part of your life, too!
Universal Principles of Living Life Fully. Awareness of
these principles can explain a lot and take much of the frustration
out of the lives we lead. |

Alone in his car
heading west, it's easy for Jason
to feel sorry for himself and mad at the world. But
then he gives a ride to Hector and learns that life
isn't nearly as negative as we sometimes see it,
and that the prejudice and discrimination that
he's experiencing aren't unique to him--and aren't
impossible to overcome. The friendship between
this young man and his 70-year-old passenger is
an inspiring story of love and dealing with
obstacles in our lives. Book - Kindle |

When
Walker first steps onto the road, he has no thoughts, no history, no
memories, and no clothes. As he travels and meets people and learns
from them, he comes to know more about life, living, and becoming the
person he's meant to be. Walker is a parable for all of us who wonder
what might be the purpose of life, why bad things happen with almost
as much regularity as good things, and how we can learn from the bad
examples and experiences in our lives as much as we can learn from the
good things. Tom Walsh's parable is a story of the ages, a timeless
exploration of ideas and thoughts that all of us wonder about, a
sincere and heartfelt portrait of a man who has no past and no future,
but who learns to make the most of each precious present moment as it
comes. |

This novel was written as a tribute to my mother and the town she grew
up in--Crested Butte, Colorado, a mountain coal mining town. The
town of her youth bore no resemblance to the CB of today, though, and
the town that I visited when I was young was filled with run-down
houses and buildings. It was a dying mining town until it was
turned into a ski resort, and the town of the novel is an idea of what
it might have become with a few more decades of neglect, when a trio
of creatures escapes from a sealed-off mine intent on exacting revenge
upon the people of the town. They've been living in the mine and
caverns for sixty years, and they're really, really angry.
A horror novel on this kind of website? Of course, because
reading can be fun, too. It's not a gore-fest (I really do
dislike those), but more a study of how people react to adversity, and
how the sins of our fathers sometimes do come back to haunt us many,
many years later.
