| wonderful ways to say no: 100 Ways to Understand and Say No to Badness Ricardo Steinkohl, 2022-08-04 To do good things requires knowing yourself and at least something about others. These are both substantial activities and experiences in life. It takes learning (sometimes unlearning) and also to know there is pacing as to how these things can and do happen. It is not intended to primarily aspire to great achievements, although things sometimes feel that way and I can honestly say to have experienced peaks and lows and found my way to travel back and forth without overshooting either way. A nice way to look at it is to be able to navigate that which we are already doing, and of course, there can be room for more if wanted. The happenings of the various types of people and situations, and yes, issues, are very much relevant to the understanding of ourselves. They are not all significant but accumulate they will, and knowing who one has been, one would think it a desirable prospect to explore. If some already have a good idea, then all is well and good for that purpose. But the experiences I have had in life are varied, and although dramatic enough, I seem to have escaped going into the haphazard category—although it seems sometimes I scratched upon it. The background is not as important as the realities in which we are all involved. Sometimes heavy, sometimes easily and enjoyably manageable, it is okay to face the range of things with a confident—if not cautious—approach. I believe it is safe and rewarding and sometimes emotional and difficult. But this book has a positive purpose. And with the often-used expression to those who accept it, “with a little help from above,” this overview of how not to feel buried in this complicated life is a concise push to what seems important. And resting and relaxing and utilizing energy that way is certainly included in that. |

Yet, more people than ever are walking through life disconnected, disengaged, dissatisfied, mired in regret, declining health, and a near maniacal state of gut-wrenching autopilot busyness. Whatever is out there isn’t getting through. We don’t know who to trust. We don’t know what’s real and what’s fantasy. We don’t know how and where to begin and we don’t want to wade through another minute of advice that gives us hope, then saps our time and leaves us empty. How to Live a Good Life is your antidote; a practical and provocative modern-day manual for the pursuit of a life well lived. No need for blind faith or surrender of intelligence; everything you’ll discover is immediately actionable and subject to validation through your own experience. Drawn from the intersection of science, spirituality, and the author’s years-long quest to learn at the feet of masters from nearly every tradition and walk of life, this book offers a simple yet powerful model, the “Good Life Buckets ” —spend 30 days filling your buckets and reclaiming your life. Each day will bring a new, practical yet powerful idea, along with a specific exploration designed to rekindle deep, loving, and compassionate relationships; cultivate vitality, radiance, and graceful ease; and leave you feeling lit up by the way you contribute to the world, like you’re doing the work you were put on the planet to do. How to Live a Good Life is not just a book to be read; it’s a path to possibility, to be walked, then lived. |

| wonderful ways to say no: Little Ways To Say I Love You Marjabelle Young Stewart, 1992-01-15 How many times has your day been enhanced by one small, unnecessary gesture?

| wonderful ways to say no: Keep It Shut Karen Ehman, 2015-01-06 Kind, encouraging, and humorous, Karen Ehman helps us learn the essential practice of using our words more effectively--alleviating heartache and regret, reducing relational tension and conflict, lessening our stress levels, and growing our relationship with God. From Bible times to modern times women have struggled with their words. What to say and how to say it. What not to say. When it is best to remain silent. And what to do when you've said something you wish you could now take back. In this book a woman whose mouth has gotten her into loads of trouble shares the hows (and how-not-tos) of dealing with the tongue. Beyond just a how not to gossip book, this book explores what the Bible says about the many ways we are to use our words and the times when we are to remain silent. Karen will cover using our speech to interact with friends, co-workers, family, and strangers as well as in the many places we use our words in private, in public, online, and in prayer. Even the words we say silently to ourselves. She will address unsolicited opinion-slinging, speaking the truth in love, not saying words just to people-please, and dealing with our verbal anger. Christian women struggle with their mouths. Even though we know that Scripture has much to say about how we are--and are not--to use our words, this is still an immense issue, causing heartache and strain not only in family relationships, but also in friendships, work, and church settings. Also available: Keep It Shut small group video study and study guide. |

| wonderful ways to say no: Where Is God in the Turmoil of a Life-Threatening Illness? Karen Haren, Sue L. Frymark, 2020-10-28 Why don’t we want to talk about death and dying? For some, it’s the fear of the unknown following death. For others, it may be the fear of pain and possible loss of independence. In some cultures, caring for sick or aging family members is just a part of life. However, modern Western families are usually not prepared. In Where is God in the Turmoil of a Life-Threatening Illness?, authors Karen Haren and Sue L. Frymark offer guidance in coping with a life-threatening illness from a Christian perspective. It combines scriptures and personal stories, bringing a unique blend of practical, emotional, and spiritual advice geared for the family. The goal is to help families walk through, what for many, may be their most difficult days. Haren and Frymark discuss how God values us during all phases of our lives, and that people don’t lose their worth when they become sick or incapacitated. They describe a phenomenon they call God’s symphony orchestra. This is when God weaves emotions and events beautifully and powerfully like music from an orchestra with the ill person as the center note. |
