La masonería actual se inspira en los grandes constructores de catedrales de la edad media, quienes utilizaron simples herramientas con que pudieron moldear la piedra hasta erigir monumentos que todavía hoy nos asombran por su belleza y perfección. Los masones en la actualidad aprenden a realizar este tipo de trabajo con el fin de construir el templo más importante de todos: el que está en el interior de cada uno de nosotros. Al igual que estos albañiles aprendieron poco a poco con disciplina, paciencia y entrega a moldear peñascos sin forma hasta convertirlos en los bloques de un templo, de la misma forma la masonería nos da las herramientas y nos enseña a utilizarlas para que podamos edificar dentro de nosotros el templo más hermoso y perfecto que la humanidad haya conocido.

"If you've ever felt like you're the only one struggling with motherhood, this book is for you." --Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play

From a maternal mental health specialist comes an empowering guide to help reshape your internalized expectations and beliefs around motherhood.

Every mom wants to be a good parent--but if you've found yourself burned out and overwhelmed trying to be "the perfect mom," you're not alone. "We get handed a rulebook of motherhood without realizing it," says Erica Djossa. "That rulebook comes with an invisible load--a world of mental and physical tasks that keeps us pushing toward perfection while barely being able to breathe." With Releasing the Mother Load, this renowned parenting specialist shares a guide to help you break free from the crushing burden of unrealistic expectations and reclaim the joy of motherhood while staying true to your own values.

As a therapist and the founder of the Momwell community, Erica has learned how many mothers from all backgrounds and walks of life feel trapped by modern motherhood. Here she dispels the falsehoods our culture has built around what it means to be a mom and shares practical, proven guidance for a more empowered approach to parenting, including:

- What is the Mother Load? Where our expectations come from and why they don't serve us or our children
- Making the Mother Load visible--the true emotional and physical cost of the many jobs, habits, and beliefs we carry
- Sharing the load--tools to establish strong boundaries, express your needs, and build a support system
- Practical techniques and scripts to help you create a healthy, balanced, and enriching approach to motherhood

"You can chart your own journey in a way that is freeing, feels right to you, and reignites passions and dreams that you thought had died when you began to put everyone else's needs first," says Erica Djossa. Here is a life-changing guide for developing a new vision of motherhood that lets you parent more freely and with greater fulfillment--so you can finally release the Mother Load.

"The Universal Laws of Awakening is an experience that transcends space and place-a journey of understanding and application. What I love is that each chapter by itself provides 'ah-ha' moments that create space to understand the roadmap to peace and happiness. It challenges us to reset and embrace the wisdom of the Universe-allowing our minds to experience life as it is intended-freely-accepting and appreciating the beauty of each moment." -Sandra King McCall, Fellow Seeker

"The Universal Laws of Awakening is an impactful, thoughtful, and transformational book that provides the principles and practical steps that will enable you to understand and overcome the challenges and trials of life and achieve God's purpose for your life. I have read and listened to many authors discuss their approach to mindfulness and awakening. This book provides information in a unique and powerful way that totally changed my method of thinking. It is grounded in spiritual and biblical truths. As the author stated, The Universal Laws of Awakening made it clear to me that I possess everything within me to face and overcome the challenges of life and live my life with joy, inner peace and gratitude. This is a book that I'll refer to over and over again. It's truly a classic." -Daryl Minor, Information Technology Consultant, Sunday School Teacher

If life has been feeling harder than it should, if decisions seem to overwhelm your mind, if you're ever laid in bed at night wondering if there was a better path for you, your answers have arrived. Now it is up to you to take the next step to unlock their secrets.

In her latest book, The Universal Laws of Awakening, health and life coach Tonya (TK) Kinlow channels the wisdom of the universe to comfort and guide anyone feeling lost, disillusioned with life, or at an impasse in their own existence. In this book, eleven easy-to-access truths are explained to simplify the workings of the universe. Each of these universal laws holds the keys to personal transformation and mental well-being.

Drawing from the laws of the universe, such as The Law of Vibration and The Law of Ebb and Flow, TK outlines, with compassion and encouragement, the spiritual forces that can provide nourishment and direction for even the weariest of souls. Although it may sound grand and immense, TK comforts every reader with the understanding that our mindset can be moved to embrace happiness and personal transformation, simply by reading and allowing these laws to become a guiding force for good in your life. Make this your soul's "season of expansion" and unlock the mysteries which have clouded your vision for far too long.

Your transformation is in hand.

Garden and social historian Advolly Richmond (of Gardener's World) unravels the surprising histories of 60 flowers that shape our gardens.

Have you ever wondered where your favorite garden flowers came from? Where their names derived? Or why some cultivars go in and out of favor? Every flower in your herbaceous border has a story, and in this book Advolly Richmond takes you on a tour of the most intriguing, surprising and enriching ones.

Tales of exploration, everlasting love and bravery bring these beautiful flowers to life. Advolly has dug down to uncover the royalty, scholars, pioneers, and a smuggler or two that have all played a part in discovering and cultivating some of our favorite species. From the lavish and exotic bougainvillea, found by an 18th century female botanist in disguise to the humble but majestic snowdrop casting a spell and causing a frenzy. These plants have played pivotal roles in our societies, from boom to bust economies, promises of riches, and making fashion statements. These unassuming blooms hold treasure troves of stories.

With specially commissioned artworks from award-winning botanical illustrator Sarah Jane Humphrey, which sumptuously bring each flower to life - this is a beautiful compendium for every garden lover.

Troubleshooting the Mind is a guide to help everyone understand the basic principles of a phenomenon called the Kelee(R). The roots of the Kelee date back three thousand years in ancient Sanskrit.

This vessel--your Kelee--is a place where you can take bad things out and put good things in. Everyone has felt, at one time or another, emotion--good and bad--well up from within their Kelee. This book will give you practical ways to understand your conscious awareness and how your thoughts influence the direction of your life. You will learn where your troubling thoughts reside and how to dissipate them with a practice that takes about five minutes, twice a day.

In this book you will discover the groundbreaking difference between your brain and your mind and how differently they operate. If you would like to explore the deepest reaches of your mind and open to the true power of your thoughts, understanding the basic principles of your Kelee is the place to start.
