Agreed: A Journal to Bring Joy to Any Marriage with Too Many Disagreements

Gentle and Kind: A Nurture and Stretch Self-Care Journal
All serious daring starts from within. – Harriet Beecher Stowe
Self-care is about your relationship with yourself. Your self-care practice includes cultivating respect, understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of an amazing person—you.
Practicing self-care and self-love is essential. When you practice self-love, you grow to accept and appreciate yourself. You begin to accept your emotions for what they are; you’re able to start to make your physical, emotional and mental well-being a priority. It’s the old, “secure your own oxygen mask first,” lesson. We need to practice self-care and self-love so that we don’t drain our emotional fuel tank and have nothing left for anyone—including ourselves.
Using a journal is one of many ways to take care of yourself. Writing or drawing in a journal allows you to look back on older entries and gain perspective, it helps you to connect to your inner self, listen to your inner voice and sometimes talk back to it. Think of this book as a gentle invitation to be kind to yourself. This book includes sections on defining self-care and self-love and reminders of ways you can add some of these practices to your daily life.
This journal is a place to feel supported, in particular, a place to notice how you are supporting yourself. It is a place to feel vulnerable, content, grateful, joyful, happy, confident, brave, grounded, connected, energized, excited, encouraged, loved.

Mindful Reflections: Patterns of Hope; a guided journal
This journal is a tool to assist you in reducing the frustrations experienced by most as they seek to incorporate sitting meditation. It incorporates small life affirming and sustaining steps, designed to help shape your quiet time, and provides a record of your growth over time. Four elements, reflection, self-appreciation, gratitude, and therapeutic coloring will help to shape your journey, as you gain the focus that mindfulness can infuse in a life.
This book is the result of reading Barbara Sher’s Refuse to Choose while at a crossroad in my life and allowing the Scanner in me to flourish. I am thankful for the encouragement and guidance that it provided, and the courage it gave me to ask the questions I would not have otherwise asked. This was a miraculous time in my life. Doors that I did not know existed opened for me, and people were willing and able to provide me with answers I did not know I needed.

What Will I Do All Day?: Wisdom to Get You Over Retirement and On With Living!
Patrice Jenkins wrote this book to rescue people who are trapped in their careers. These individuals have prepared financially for retirement but they stay in jobs/careers because they don’t know what they would do if they weren’t working. After conducting interviews and coaching individuals through the retirement transition process, she learned their resistance boils down to one looming question, What will I do all day? This question isn’t about keeping busy. There are always enough things to do, but who wants to wake up to a to-do list for the next 20-30 years? At the core of “What will I do all day?” is a deeper emotional question. What will I do all day that will be meaningful, provide direction for my life, keep me engaged in society, and still be fun and rewarding? That’s a much harder question to answer than how will I keep busy? To get over retirement and on with living, you need to understand the deeper issues of retirement. The issues a simple financial strategy or get-away vacation won’t solve. What is rarely discussed is how you feel about retirement. In her book, Jenkins helps you identify these core feelings and address your unspoken fears if retirement feels like a long road to the end. You’ll get to know what really matters to you, the things you want to build into your retirement plan. You’ll learn from other people’s experience with retirement what you need to do now to start preparing. There is life after work, in fact this life probably includes work, but you’ll need to get over retirement to start living and enjoying this next stage of life. This book will help you do that!
