I am always trying to look for a new recipe in the Healthy Treasures Cookbook. So far I have tried the Black Bean Soup, Cheesy Broccoli Bake, and Quinoa. I have made some small changes with food, eating and I am more aware of what I am putting in my mouth. Thank You! Janet Stalker

It takes a village.
The history of New York's iconic Greenwich Village comes alive in writer and filmmaker Richard Natale's Greenwich Connection, a novella, and interconnected short stories spanning the second half of the twentieth century, from the waning days of WW II through to September 11, 2001. The novella and subsequent short stories feature a rainbow collection of eccentrics, misfits, lovers, and friends, all united in their quest for connection, acceptance, and a sense of community.
The novella, In the Fall of Forty-Four, begins in Naples in 1944 during the American occupation and quickly moves to the razzle-dazzle of New York City, the epicenter of American creativity and economic prosperity during the post-war era. We follow the central characters' often tempestuous lives through the end of the century, during which their on-again, off-again relationship is buffeted by political and social upheaval. The short stories that follow focus on several of the minor characters depicted in the novella, all of whom have flocked to Greenwich Village from near and far. Their respective fates become inextricably entwined in the enormous historical and social changes unfolding around them.
For much of its existence, Greenwich Village has been a refuge - for the dispossessed, the misunderstood, and the lonely - seeking to throw off the shackles of oppression; a haven in which they were free to express their dreams, and desires without fear of censure. Their respective triumphs and tragedies are interwoven throughout the novella and the short stories. While the location is specific, the Village in those years was emblematic of the broader historical and cultural shifts in the nation as a whole. These ordinary, and not-so-ordinary lives reflect the countless others who emerged from the shadows during the latter half of the 20th century and demonstrate how their destinies were shaped by and have given shape to our recent history.
As one of the main characters states: If you're out of place, Greenwich Village is the place for you. A great thing, about the Village is that you can cover it on foot in a single afternoon. Best place to walk if you just want to be left alone. Or if you're looking to meet a stranger. Lots of trees and pocket parks. And gated private streets and alleys. And diners and coffeehouses where you can hang out all day and shoot the breeze. And more kooks per square inch than anyplace else in the whole goddamned world. Artists and derelicts and square pegs. My kind of people. Interesting and funny. And sad. And smart. And annoying. And weird. And a few, downright scary. There were some posh people too. You know, the artsy-fartsy types. But also a lot of everyday Joes. And for flavor, a few goombahs. Some of the Village folks were waiting on their big break, barely scraping by, bussing tables during the day and sometimes working the streets at night. Some were crooked as sin. Some were Holy Rollers. Somehow, we all got along.
Being prepared is more than waiting for a disaster; it is having the mindset that no matter what happens I can feed my family well-nourishing meals without confusion and chaos.

We are yours no longer, witch. We are Shade's children now.
Angelica Brighton stands alone against the Father of Nightmares' malevolent reach. While her family and friends recover from the brutal fight at Carmichael Farms, the young Guardian delves into Shade's own realm in a precarious gamble to end the Demonkin threat once and for all. Although prepared to confront her cousin, Aiden, at his dark master's side she must first face the embittered souls of the Firstborn, compelled by decades of torment to obey the demon's will.
Anne-Marie Carmichael remains a fugitive hounded by the accusation of witchcraft. While old friends and new allies rally against Preston Mathers' mercenary army that strengthens and emboldens Shade's efforts, the fearless and determined colonial farmwife must once more venture into the heart of her enemy's stronghold to break the demon's influence over the home and community she loves.
Within the unholy depths beneath Alistair's Climb, Angelica and Anne-Marie rush towards their ultimate confrontation against Shade and his legion of thralls. Armed with lightning and fire, the Witches of Pioneer Vale will risk everything to fulfill the duty so long ago laid upon the shoulders of the Guardians. More binding than a promise. More solemn than a vow.
Covenant - the thrilling conclusion to the award winning Witches of Pioneer Vale trilogy!

We all have stories of our life experiences, and they shape our perceptions - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. But what happens when the stories we tell ourselves about our limitations and past challenges become obstacles to further growth? That's when unlearning begins. This framework provides a path for visionaries to break through self-imposed barriers, foster adaptability in their personal and professional spaces, and maximize their full potential. I synthesized ten tenets of unlearning that I observed in my own life and used specifically as a powerful method for growth. These tenets are the guideposts of unlearning. I share snippets of my story as a testament to the power of unlearning. However, this writing is not about dwelling on past experiences, whether they be mine or yours. Instead, it's a guide to crafting the future you desire. These ten transformative tenets of unlearning will help you build a more empowered, adaptable future.

What is Life Force? What animates us, makes us appear bigger than we are, more than the sum of our physical parts?
Is it consciousness, awareness of self, place, time and purpose?
Does it arise from within, or penetrate from without?
Is it simply dynamism?
Is it evident in the ability to break through, invent, create and explore?
Is it courage? The courage to trust one's own instincts?
Is it tied to our ability to procreate, to live with another, build a family, a nation?
Can we bequeath it to machines with Artificial Intelligence? Do we want to?
Is it ours to bequeath? To bequeath only as a gift with our DNA? Or a gift to keep?
Why do most people believe in an external presence, in a soul?
Is the Soul the Life Force? Are they synonymous? Do they exist?
Do we just give names to things that we don't understand, that don't exist?
Were the Ancients just extrapolating from imperfect knowledge?
Is the Scientific Method perfect? Valid? Hypothesis? Theory? Fact?
If we can't prove existence of an entity, does that mean it doesn't exist?
What is thinking? Merely synapses firing? Something more?
Why do we realize how fragile and small people were when we see their lifeless bodies after death?
What is death? The absence of life? When does life cease? Why do we die?

When a washed-up Ziegfeld Follies star goes missing, can the Van der Beeck twins crack the case without breaking their necks... or losing their hearts?
It's 1931, and the once grand, always eccentric Van der Beecks have taken in borders to make ends meet. Canary House, their rambling Upper West Side mansion, boasts six tenants: a pianist, a poet, an erstwhile diplomat, a psychiatrist, a bootlegger, and a philanthropist who is always short on cash. Life has never been more interesting until a seventh checks into the turret room - Babs Le Roy, a down-on-her-luck Ziegfeld Follies star with more than one skeleton in her cluttered closet.
It's all the twins can do to mind their own business. Nearly eighteen, they only look like angels. Vivian has a nose for trouble and Viola has her nose in a book, but between the two of them, the villain doesn't stand a chance - if only they can find one to spice things up. Then Babs goes missing, and one ransom note, two gangsters, and a handful of red herrings later, the twins find themselves confronted with more villains than they bargained for. Throw in a soft-boiled detective, a handsome sergeant, and a houseful of tenants graced with more whimsy than wit, and you have the makings of a mad-cap mystery that will keep you guessing till the end.
