| messies anonymous: ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life Judith Kolberg, Kathleen Nadeau, 2012-01-04 Over 100,000 Copies Sold! Organizing books fall short of addressing the unique needs of adults with ADD. They fail to understand the clinical picture of ADD and how it impacts the organizing process often making their advice irrelevant or frustrating when put into application. Books about ADD may address organization/disorganization but do so in a cursory fashion and on a very small scale in what are usually long books on the subject. This is a book that has ADD-Friendly advice with the ADDer in mind. This collaboration brings forth the best underlying understanding with the most effective and practical remedy from ADD experts in two important fields -- professional organization and clinical psychology. Finally, it offers organizing advice that ranges from self-help to utilizing the help of non-professionals, to using professional assistance. Thus it permits the reader to decide where they are at personally in the organizing process, and what level of support will be most beneficial to their unique situation. |

| messies anonymous: Hospitality in a Nutroll Rebeca Freytes Chico Depra, 2009-04 If you really stress out when people come to your house, then you might struggle with hospitality. You don't need to be a perfect hostess or housekeeper to have people feel welcome in your home. Hospitality in a Nutroll is an entertaining book of stories, examples, and guidelines on how to be hospitable in many different situations. Rebeca DePra shares the secrets and shortcuts she has learned through her life experience and her faith. What if your parents are staying overnight (or your in-laws, Yikes ), or perhaps a friend of your spouse shows up for dinner unexpectedly? What to do? What do you feed them? What if the house is a wreck? Find answers in this sometimes humorous approach to hospitality. If all else fails, you can use the secret weapon of welcome - serve your guests the delicious Nutroll. Rebeca Freytes Chico DePra known to most as Becky, is a Christian, an artist, a teacher, a stay at home mom of three, and a loving wife. She has ADHD which makes her spontaneous and often hilarious (according to her husband). Becky feels called to share her understanding of hospitality with others. Born in Puerto Rico, she grew up in a culture where spontaneous hospitality comes naturally. As a pastor's child, her home was open to all, from dignitaries to the homeless. Her mother's example taught her to be hospitable to everyone, regardless of their status. Her Paternal Grandmother (Abuela Regina) showed her that offering a simple drink of water could bless a stranger. Becky has been blessed with many life experiences, both good and bad, that have taught her to trust in the Lord, and to make guests feel welcome no matter what the circumstances. |

| messies anonymous: The Autobiographical Turn in Germanophone Documentary and Experimental Film Robin Curtis, Angelica Fenner, 2014 The essays in this volume examine the parameters shaping the audiovisual self in the Germanophone cultural context across a variety of practices and aesthetic modes, from contemporary artists including Hito Steyerl, Ming Wong, and kate hers to Rolf Dieter Brinkmann's multimedia experiments of the 1970s, and from Helke Misselwitz's challenges to the documentary tradition in the GDR to Peter Liechti's investigations of Swiss ambivalence toward the nation's iconic landscape. The volume thus takes up a number of historically and geographically specific iterations of autobiographical discourse that in each case remain contingent on the space and time in which they are uttered. |

| messies anonymous: The Courage to Be Protestant David F. Wells, 2017-05-08 At its heart, the Protestant Reformation was about a deep, doctrinally shaped faith centered on God and his Word. But that historic, substantive faith is not faring so well in our contemporary Western context. In his 2008 book The Courage to Be Protestant, David Wells issued a summons to return to the historic Protestant faith, defined by the Reformation solas (grace, faith, and Scripture alone) and by a high regard for doctrine. In this thoroughly reworked second edition, Wells presents an updated look at the state of evangelicalism and the changes that have taken place since the original publication of his book. There is no better time than now to hear and heed Wells's clarion call to reclaim the historic, doctrinally serious Reformation faith in our fast-paced, technologically dominated, postmodern culture. |

| messies anonymous: Clinician's Guide to Severe Hoarding Michael A. Tompkins, 2014-11-24 The cat lady. The couple who won't let anyone in their apartment. The old man with all that junk in his yard. Their severe hoarding puts them, and often others, at risk for injury, disease, and even death. Most deny needing help, and for this reason, professionals are desperate to find more effective ways to offer and provide assistance to them. In response to this growing public health problem, Clinician's Guide to Severe Hoarding refines our understanding and presents in depth and innovative alternative to traditional interventions. Arguing that although treatment for hoarding can be effective for those who are open to help, people with severe hoarding are not. The Clinician’s Guide to Severe Hoarding describes an alternative strategy to help those who adamantly refuse help and yet face significant health and safety risks due to the hoarding problem – harm reduction. This client-centered approach takes readers through harm reduction plan development, team building, goal setting, client collaboration, and progress assessment. The Clinician’s Guide also explains that a successful harm reduction plan may encourage clients to seek further help, and offers insights into working with special populations such as people who hoard animals and children who exhibit hoarding behavior. The Clinician's Guide describes in detail a range of strategies for assisting people with severe hoarding: Strategies for engaging with clients who hoard. Guidelines for assessing harm potential. Guidelines for creating a harm reduction plan, building a harm reduction team, and conducting and evaluating home visits. Skills for client self-help: decision making, time management, and more. Guidelines for navigating the ethical and legal issues that arise in assisting people who hoard. Readings, links, and other resources. With its practical common-sense approach to a complex problem, Clinician's Guide to Severe Hoarding is a unique volume not only for mental health practitioners, but also other professionals who assist people who hoard, such as home health aides, social workers, and professional organizers. |
