Always With You - Gloria Hunniford
Thursday, January 8th, 2009
On April 13th, 2004 Gloria Hunnifords 41 year old daughter, Caron Keating, died after a secret seven year battle with cancer. The world that had changed with Caron’s diagnosis, now shattered. Life had been cruelly interrupted, a black hole opened in Glorias heart, she was consumed with the unimaginable grief that the loss of a child brings and she was alone. Or so she felt. Within days of Caron’s death letters started to arrive. People who had lost their children felt compelled to write. Strangers understood what she was going through often more than the family and friends standing next to her. There were many, many dark days but the letters kept coming and somehow she managed to do the impossible. Wake up everyday, get out of bed, breath. The black hole is still there, sometimes as big as ever, but she has found a way to live with it, around it. This is the story of how Gloria and her family survived Carons death, but it is not only her story. It is written for those who held her while she raged. It is written for all those people who helped her through that first terrible year by writing, but mostly it is written for the many thousands who didnt. Grief is lonely, but as this book shows, you are not alone. Death affects us all at some point. Gloria will never again be the carefree woman she once was, the loss of a loved one is always with you, but so are the living. This is how she found her way back to them.

Nostradamus - The Good News - Mario Reading
Monday, January 5th, 2009
This book breaks new ground by isolating the prophecies in which Nostradamus suggested the possibility of positive change that could change the world for the better.
In this interpretation, the commentator has stuck rigorously to Nostradamus’s own index dates, and his innovative new versions of the verses combine literal translation of the medieval French with his own technique that takes into account the hidden meaning concealed within the texts.
