Marie may be 'getting on a bit' but it's certainly not getting her down. Her family around her and a man who loves her means that life is good - but nothing stays the same for long. Marie's golden years are filled with as much drama - love, laughter and tears - as ever. Which just goes to show that getting on a bit does not mean giving up - or even growing up.

Book Description
Glasses and contacts are a pain. I tried to wear contact lenses while playing college and professional football and it just doesn't work. I was always getting sweat, dirt or even fingers in my eyes that just became annoying. After my football days, I decided to go on a quest. My mission was to find out if there were any ways to recover vision naturally, without corrective lenses. This book is a summary of what I found. In it I share how I was able to eliminate my glasses completely after ONE DAY! Granted, eventually I had to revisit some of these techniques but that was 2 years later! The majority of what I personally used was from the Bates Method. I am only a satisfied Bates student not a certified Bates practitioner. I wrote this book just to share the information so that it may help those in need. Here is some of what you will discover: Relaxation of body and eyes Breathing Exercise One: Deep Breathing Exercise Two: Lens Flexor Stretching Body Movement Exercise One: Sway Exercise Two: Long Swing Exercise Three: Cross-Crawl Energetic Yawning Blinking Palming Sunning Pinhole glasses Alternate Eye Movements Lazy Eights Central fixation Exercise 1: Tibetan Wheel Exercise 2: Snellen Chart Exercise 3: Domino Chart Exercise 4: Edging Exercise 5: Mandala Eye Oblique Stretch Near & Far Visualization Analytic seeing Chiropractic & Vision Nutrition This is a comprehensive collection from books, articles and research that I discovered on this journey to natural clear vision. Who is this book for? Anyone, from 5 to 100 who wishes to make their vision better as it's never too late to do so. Anyone who has problems with seeing correctly and wants to be able to do so. Anyone who uses weak, moderate or even strong reading glasses, or even bifocals or trifocals. Anyone who experiences eye strain, fatigue, or headaches when reading or trying to focus on the computer screen. Anyone with excellent near-point vision who wishes to keep it that way and save themselves from having to wear glasses. I hope you enjoy the information shared here. I've also included a list of 20 foods that optimize visual health. To Better Vision!"

AN ALA NOTABLE BOOK AN ILA TEACHERS CHOICE A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Arthur T. Owens grabbed a brick and hurled it at the trash picker. Arthur had his reasons, and the brick hit the Junk Man in the arm, not the head. But none of that matters to the judge—he is ready to send Arthur to juvie forever. Amazingly, it’s the Junk Man himself who offers an alternative: 120 hours of community service . . . working for him. Arthur is given a rickety shopping cart and a list of the Seven Most Important Things: glass bottles, foil, cardboard, pieces of wood, lightbulbs, coffee cans, and mirrors. He can’t believe it—is he really supposed to rummage through people’s trash? But it isn’t long before Arthur realizes there’s more to the Junk Man than meets the eye, and the “trash” he’s collecting is being transformed into something more precious than anyone could imagine. . . . Inspired by the work of folk artist James Hampton, Shelley Pearsall has crafted an affecting and redemptive novel about discovering what shines within us all, even when life seems full of darkness. “A moving exploration of how there is often so much more than meets the eye.” —Booklist, starred review “There are so many things to love about this book. Remarkable.” —The Christian Science Monitor

Book Description
Great stories are often built on the construction of the following five elements: 1) Have a character. 2) A character who wants or dreams of achieving something. 3) One or more obstacles stand in the character's way of what they want. 4) How did the character maneuver around the obstacles? 5) Did the character succeed or fail in their endeavor? But what if obstacles appeared before the dreams developed? Oakland, Ca. Three brothers. Nine Felonies. Mangy dogs. Crashed cars. Paranoid delusions. A weaponized packet of mayonnaise. Maniacal acid freak-outs. Polyester Players. Squeaky steered his brothers Gene and Joe away from any chance at a normal life. By the time vapid materialism came to define the 80's, the three of them were living out a virtual Metallica mosh-pit. Then one brother turned up missing, and was presumed murdered.

Book Description
This revolutionary new look at vision will broaden your understanding of how you see and how you can see without your glasses or contact lenses. Take Off Your Glasses and See shows you how to free yourself from the crutch of prescription lenses, to build your self-confidence and awareness, and to open up your inner and outer vision in order to see more clearly. Jacob Liberman, an internationally recognized authority on holistic vision care, explains how most vision problems are the result of an unconscious decision to "close your eyes" to emotional discomfort or pain, and how increasingly powerful corrective lenses only encourage eyesight to withdraw even further. By removing lenses and practicing breath- and movement-awareness techniques to shift your perception, you can reintegrate the original disruption in the mind/body system. Dr. Liberman’s approach can help you join the thousands who have escaped from the self-defeating cycle of poor vision.
