The Moonstone, the gem recognized for its energy, holds a nourishing, deeply felt energy that knows how to heal and bring one back to wholeness.The stories in this collection are quite varied. Each is written by a contest winner, unique only in their shared theme of Turning the Page in that author's life in some remarkable way. Ellen Lenox Smith's story is a love song to her service dog, Maggie, who served her loyally for over twelve years. Tom Collins' story opens our consciousness to the art of skilled policing, which often utilizes the actions we do NOT take, to allow a person to calm himself without outside intervention. MJ Mc Grath recalls the day she and her husband were interviewed by the birth parents of the tiny baby they hoped would be theirs. Marilyn June Janson gives us an eye opener into her world as an agrophobic, outlining the steps she took to help herself reenter the world at large. Alice Laby takes a trip to Krakow, Poland, where she says the Mourner's Kaddish for her grandather, Nathan, whispering that although he perished at the hands of the Nazis, they could never take away her love for him. Donna Penzak tell us her Happily Ever After story of turning her back on both her abusive parents and marriage to lead a productive, nurturing life. Eliza Laffin shares the story of how, after her stroke, she and her son reach out to help one another.
Note:
Due to Amazon's policy of only allowing ten author names to be listed, I didn't want to end without noting the remaining author who each contributed a wonderful story to this colllection: Jeff Guidry, Jane Rice, Barbara Anne Kirshner, Geva Thole, Sharon Bazant, Robin Storey and multi Tales2Inspire award winner, Adrienne Drake MD, - fifteen stories in all, each as varied as the author who wrote it, each a model of how a person, animal or event altered that author's life in some significant, powerful yet personal way. It is our hope that you, the reader, will discover at least several stories within the covers of this book that speak directly to you, helping you to turn a page in your life.
