Coloring for Meditation and Stress Relief

Coloring for Meditation and Stress Relief #arttherapy

50 Mandalas for Coloring.

About the Author - Stuart McGhie

After suffering a near fatal incident in 2003, I developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This had a devastating affect on my life as a husband and Father. My therapist suggested listening to Meditation CD's and something inside of me came alive. Adult Coloring Books helped me to re-focus my mind and it became more powerful and aware. I decided to create a book with my favorite coloring pictures, that way you too can enjoy the awakening that i enjoyed.

Mandala_5A message from Stuart:

Adult Coloring Books have helped thousands of people like myself to cope and relieve stress and also beat depression so they can lead a normal life.

Each Mandala has its own page with no other image underneath it, this stops bleed through from certain types of pen and protects your special creation.

I would also advise to place a piece of paper under the coloring page in case bleed through occurs from certain types of pen.

I do hope you enjoy Adults coloring books art therapy and please feel free to contact me with the email address provided at the end of the book, I would love to hear from you.

Dani: Throwaway Child

Dani Throwaway Child

Dani: Throwaway Child:

The True Story of Dani's Journey from Abuse to Freedom

Warning: This book is intended for an Adult Audience

Powerful book ~ Review by Artist
This was a very serious topic for me. I cried my way through a lot of it. Feeling so helpless and being a child and Dani being such a brave strong little girl. This book was very emotional for me, if you are a sensitive person be forewarned. Once you start reading you have to finish the story to find out what happens to Dani. I am very glad that Dani is doing well now but this saga of her life is heart wrenching. I like how this book gives you perspective on how to discuss and talk to people who might have been in similar situations from a religious perspective.

The information in this book is powerful and can be very helpful to someone who has been in an abusive situation. This is the kind of book you have trouble putting down and going to bed because you want to know what happens and you have to keep reading to find out. After reading some before bed I would be thinking about what I read and half the time not get enough sleep because I would be pondering possible outcomes.

The face that there are such evil people around us that could be like this evolved in our every day lives scares me. This book brings awareness to the situation and I'm thankful for that and I am more likely to notice any signs of possible abuse now.

Being proud to be who you are

Guest Article by Justin Mark

Adjust

















  • Eric is an ex-soldier, learning to adjust to a civilian lifestyle.
  • Alex is an eleven year old boy who is bullied at school.
  • Cindy is a high school senior who struggles under the pressures of society. 


They all go through their lives, trying to adjust, struggling, when a major event brings them all together where they will change each other's lives forever.

This book takes on several tough situations in society today including bullying, PTSD, and the societal pressures teenage girls are forced to live with. Through the characters experiences and narrative, the message of being proud to be who you are even if you’re different is emphasized.

As they evolve through the story and situations escalate to all time lows the book takes a huge twist leaving readers turning page after page to see if everybody will get the second chance in life they deserve.
Highly recommended for high school students, anybody that has dealt with bullying as well as their parents! Help take a stand against bullying!
"Everything comes back to the idea of being proud of who you are – even if you’re different and forced to face adversity as a result. Bullying ruins victims’ lives, literally for those who take the final decision of suicide. My characters encourage readers from all walks of life to be proud of who they are and champion their individuality."

A Tribute to Our Veterans - Lady Justice and The Vet

Guest Blog Post by Robert Thornhill. (a book excerpt)

Lady Justice And The Vet
As a tribute to our veterans - Lady Justice and the Vet, the 15th volume in the award-winning Lady Justice series.

Men have been fighting and slaughtering one another since the beginning of time.

Brave men and women leave their homes, friends and families and travel thousands of miles to foreign lands to fight for liberty and justice.

Soon they find that the realities of war are far removed from the recruiter’s hype.

Many die on the field of battle; many more return home with wounds both physical and psychological.


For those that make the ultimate sacrifice, the war is over, but for those that survive, it is far from over.

Those who have served bravely and risked their lives deserve the opportunity to return to their homes, find jobs, have children and enjoy the life of freedom for which they fought.

Too often, it just doesn't happen.

Ben Singleton, a Marine veteran, had returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan and was having difficulty adjusting to civilian life.

Fate, coincidence, or something else thrust him right into the heart of some of Walt and Ox’s most difficult cases.

Our heroes find themselves knee-deep in trouble as they go undercover in a nursing home to smoke out practitioners of Medicaid fraud, meanwhile, Islamic terrorists with ties to the Taliban are plotting to attack one of Kansas City’s most cherished institutions.

Join Walt and his band of senior sidekicks on another emotional roller coaster ride that will have you shedding tears of laughter one minute and sorrow the next.

Review by Jaime A. Giraldi (Amazon.com)
LADY JUSTICE AND THE VET is a thought-provoking tale that will dig deep into the hearts of many people across the globe. Whether we like it or not, we are all somehow affected by war. The battles are inevitable as told in this story which focuses on PTSD. Soldiers are not the only ones who fall victim to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The family and friends of our freedom fighters feel the pain often, too. And, the author gingerly approaches this sensitive topic with ease, yet the readers will find it to be raw and very, very real. Emotions and interests will be piqued, and some may even find themselves shedding a tear or two as we traverse into the minds and memories of the numerous brave veterans spotlighted throughout. This is a phenomenally well-told story of just several of the many men and women who continue to suffer from this often ignored mental ailment. Remember to thank a vet today.
