Dr. Patricia Allen's jam-packed seminars in Los Angeles have resulted in over two thousand marriages. Now you too can take advantage of this proven step-by-step program. Here's what you'll

Marriage is not an end--it's a beginning. Yet, despite commitment, care, and communication, a marriage will sometimes falter. When it does, the good news is that it can be made wonderful again. Following her landmark Getting to "I Do", Patricia Allen, the "Love Doctor" to over five thousand happily married couples, shares her proven methods for making a marriage come alive with love, passion, intimacy, and openness. Dr. Allen's methods are so simple and basic as to be revolutionary. In each of us there is masculine energy, which leads, provides, and cherishes; and feminine energy, which follows, respects, and responds, sexually and lovingly. In a modern marriage, where freedom of choice can be perplexing, these energies must blend and flow together. They must complement each other; they must not compete. Once we acknowledge our individual energies and learn to communicate appropriately the ground is set for a truly satisfying marriage--physically, mentally, and emotionally.

It’s a Man’s World and a Woman’s Universe delves into the challenging and sometimes uncomfortable realm of interpersonal communication. It takes the reader on a journey of growth, with valuable insight into the inner workings of the mind as it relates to the duality of the individual’s energy. It is the ultimate handbook for learning how to develop greater understanding of how to communicate and foster deeper, longer lasting relationships. Learn to harness your energy rather than work against it. Learn to recognize and embrace your role, and how to implement and optimize your strengths in all your interactions, whether social, romantic, or professional.

Everywhere you look people are more aware of what they eat and where their food comes from. In a cafeteria in Los Angeles, children make their lunchtime food choices at fresh-fruit and salad bars stocked with local foods. In a community garden in New York, low-income residents are producing organically grown fruits and vegetables for their own use and to sell at market. In Madison, Wisconsin, shoppers select their food from a bounty of choices at a vibrant farmers’ market. Together at the Table is about people throughout the United States who are building successful alternatives to the contemporary agrifood system and their prospects for the future. At the heart of these efforts are the movements for sustainable agriculture and community food security. Both movements seek to reconstruct the agrifood system―the food production chain, from the growing of crops to food production and distribution―to become more ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially just. Allen describes the ways in which people working in these movements view the world and how they see their place in challenging and reshaping the agrifood system. She also shows how ideas and practices of sustainable agriculture and community food security have already woven their way into the dominant agrifood institutions. Allen explores the possibilities this process may hold for improving social and environmental justice in the American agrifood system. Together at the Table is an important reminder that much work still remains to be done. Now that the ideas and priorities of alternative food movements have taken hold, it is time for the next―even more challenging―step. Alternative agrifood movements must acknowledge and address the deeper structural and cultural patterns that constrain the long-term resolution of social and environmental problems in the agrifood system.

We often get lost in the here and now, not realizing where we disconnected in our faith and begin to believe we are doing it on our own. Until something comes to awaken our soul.Trouble comes in different ways and different waves of our lives, sometimes self-inflected and sometimes wrong place wrong time is what we say, yet it's a sign from our Father that our eyes are no longer on him.We often give the enemy credit when God is trying to get your attention, and often blame God for it nor thank God for bringing us through it.The devil cannot attack without God saying yes, and that's when the test of our faith comes in.

They have become so used to being ignored or overlooked that they don't even try to seek justice anymore.

How does that impact their children who are being raised in this society where some are heard, and others are ignored? This book addresses different situations in a way that puts you in a position to ask yourself, what would you do if it happened to you? It addresses the reasons why our society chooses to ignore the obvious and why the lack of accountability persists in certain governmental institutions. In the end, we need to ask ourselves what role or roles do each of us play and how has that role benefited us at the expense of others?

For some reason, penning down my sorrows reduces the pain, and penning down my happiness makes it soar.Every poem in this book is nothing but pure, unbridled emotions penned down during my different states of mind. It is no great poetry, but it is me. I really hope you will like the poems, and will be able to relate with some of the things I say.Have Fun!!

The days were getting shorter. Summer had just flown by. Patrick was beginning to feel a quite a panic setting in. He had promised to find a job by the end of summer, but his heart just wasn't in it. Here it was already the second week of September. His father was getting impatient. Patrick would rather have gone to school. He had the grades for it. But his father had not supported his choice of schools. Linfield's College of Nursing at Good Samaritan Hospital was accepting men in the nursing program. In two years he could be an LPN if he stuck it out four, he could graduate an RN. But his Dad said "I'm not paying anybody to turn my son in to a pantywaist male nurse!"The story opens up with Patrick about to go shopping, the feminine pastime that never grows old. If only, he could find a job where he could dress like this. He looked particularly good this time. Both Mom and Dad were at work today. Knowing he would be alone in the morning, he had started preparing last night. He had taken a long hot bath, using the bubble bath he gotten at Christmas time. His father could not know he used bubble bath. Last night had been his bowling night, so he would never know. Dad was very predictable on his bowling night. Out of the house at 6:30, back no earlier than 10:30. Mom on the other hand was fully aware of all that the bubble bath meant. She had even seen him leaving the bathroom and knew at a glance what was in store for today.The image that greeted him in the mirror was perfection. It was everything he had hoped for. His skin tone was soft and natural looking; his lips full and his cheeks had just a touch of color. His lashes were dark and long; his hair was long, soft and curly. It was full of body, just as he had hoped it would be.How old had he been when they rented "Some Like It Hot" on video? Seven? No, he was eight. He remembered because it was just the week before the Fourth of July. There had been fire crackers going off during the movie and his father was telling him when he was eight they had real fire crackers. Not just those "Lady Fingers" they can get from Montana these days.Anyway, it was the Fourth of July that year when he found himself alone in the basement. The laundry was on the counter ready to go into the washing machine, except Mom had taken the day off for the holiday. He had been impressed by how much Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis had looked like girls and he thought at the time it would be fun to try that too. He knew that he couldn't just ask permission to try it. His Dad always talked badly about "sissies" and "pantywaists" and had said that's what they looked like. It, he said, was what made the movie so funny. Two men running around like a couple of pantywaists.He turned around and took the hand mirror and checked all sides. He never tired of this game. The only thing he liked more than a mirror was a photograph. He had very few of those. His sister had taken a few when he was younger. But they always had trouble getting them developed because she never took a whole roll and of course Dad could never see them.There he was alone with the wash. The whole family was next door, where Dad and the neighbor were trying to outdo each other as barbecue king. He had come over to get his swim suit out of the laundry and put it on, so he could go into the wading pool they got yesterday. He had decided to change right there in the basement and was naked when the thought struck him. 'He could put on his sister's clothes and no one would know.' After all, they were going right into the washing machine tomorrow. No need to worry about getting them dirty. The white clothes (panties and slips) were in one pile, and coloreds (dresses) were in another. So he did it. Panties, slip and dress. He liked it, right from the time he first felt the nylon panties sliding over his legs.

Michael's mother won the lottery. You'd think that spring break would be full of fun and excitement, But not for Mike and his sister, Lucy. They spent it packing and helping good old mom move them onto a farm. The wholesomeness of farm living is exactly what she wants for her kids. Mike thinks the whole thing is right out of a Ma and Pa Kettle ;movie, but it worked out for him.He had the freedom he never had in town. Here he could indulge in his favorite pastime. Borrowing his sister's clothes. It was kind of neat having an older sister. If she had been a little sister, he’d have had to get into his mom's clothes. Her taste in clothes was too much the older generation. Lucy was just three years older than he. That made her clothes just about the right size. Especially the older ones. He discovered when he was still in third grade, that it was great fun wearing her clothes. He started out with panties. It was innocent enough.His mom and dad had just separated. She was an emotional wreck. The laundry wasn’t being done as regular as it might. Pure and simple, he ran out of underwear. The logical solution for him was to borrow some from Lucy. His mom was in her room crying so he didn’t bother to ask. He just marched into Lucy’s room and borrowed them. He discovered that he liked them. So he just kept borrowing until the laundry got done. By then he was hooked. He began to borrow even when he still had clean underwear. Then, he needed pajamas. He borrowed again. That wasn’t as much fun. Her pajamas were cotton flannels like his. The real difference was her tops were pullover and the bottoms didn’t have a fly. Aside from a few ruffles here and there, there wasn’t that much difference.The next time, he went for a nightgown. That was fun. It was knee length nylon. He remember it well and still likes it a lot. Although, she had a few that he liked better. It was kind of like a first love. You always have a special spot in your heart for the first. That nightie was powder blue and sleeveless. It had rose studded lace for straps that bent to trim the neckline. On her, it was knee length. On him it was mid-calf. He liked it so much; he wore it for two weeks, before he put it in the laundry. It’s a good thing that his mom spent most of her time crying or she may have noticed that the nightgown was considerably dirtier than Lucy would have gotten it. That was two years ago.On the farm, he could go outside. He sure couldn’t do that in the city. But there, the house was far enough off the road so that passing cars couldn’t see unless they stopped right in front of the driveway. Since he went to middle school and she went to high school they rode different buses that had different schedules it gave him time to himself to don the frillies and wander around outside. OUTSIDE. What a thrill, the sun on his face, the breeze ruffling his skirt. Yeah, this was really living. And he got away with it, right up until the time his mother caught him at it… twice and then his sister caught him as well.Having tried conventional punishments, mom resorted to trying to overload his inclination to dress as a girl. He's required to wear his sister's old clothes for an undetermined time. He's loving it right up until the girls from a neighboring farm join "Michelle" and Lucy at the swimming hole… The fun begins.

He tries to gracefully decline, but then she allows it's alright, she thought he'd be chicken.With no objections from either mother, john finds himself immersed in feminine finery and is surprised at how nice it all is. But it's just one day right?His mothers lament at not having had a camera at the ready leads to another round of dressing that changes his outlook on the whole experience.
