The Sacred Work Of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Paperback – August 8, 2011 by Elaine K. Williams ISBN 978-1-45253-675-0 How often in this life are we really kind to ourselves?

If we are honest about it—we all do it. Carol Meyer’s Little Book of Be’s is “a call to us all to do less and BE more” encapsulating in her 12 Be’s all you could ever need as a guide to happiness in the present, dissolving the thought patterns that hold us back from our goals and desires.
