by Stefanie Barilla


“Hi. It’s me again. Your heart. Isn’t it time we got to know one another?”


This is the quintessential guidebook to your heart. A journey to self-love. Have you ever secretly wondered if you are enough? This book is for you if…

  • You feel that you are not enough
  • You compare yourself often
  • You wish your life were different
  • You feel that others are doing better than you are
  • You are disappointed in yourself
  • You don’t know who you are anymore
  • You want change
  • You don’t know where to start


“The quality of your life happens at the intersection of every experience you have and your reaction to it.”

I invite you to step inside these pages and fall in love with yourself.

In order to get reacquainted with ourselves, we need to look at our life in all its component parts. 
You: A Love Story, asks you five questions: Who Are You? Where Are You? Why Are You? What Are You? and When Are You?Filled with anecdotes, questions and exercises, it takes you on a journey to explore your own heart, who you are today, how you got there, and how to get back on track to the life you truly want.

There is no greater love story than our own, and the power of agency is the key to living that story.”

This book asks that you start with curiosity as you make your way through the pages. Along the way, you will:

  • Identify your core values: Core values are foundational to an intentional life. Identifying what you believe in is crucial in guiding you there. This is the opening exercise to the book as it is a fun and engaging way to get to know yourself. It also lays the foundation for all the work that you are about to do.
  • Create a personal manifesto: This is the banner for your life – what you want in one sentence. A simple reminder to help guide you on your journey.
  • Look at your limiting beliefs and reframe them: Limiting beliefs keep us stuck. Learn how to identify what limiting beliefs you might have, where they might have come from, and how they have impacted your life. You cannot let them go until you understand what they are.
  • Create your Wheel of Life: In this section, we dive into the eight main components of your life and score them. Understanding where you need to show up, and creating a successful plan of action is the next step to move the needle in those areas that are lagging.
  • Identify the gap in your life and understand the tool that you need to rethink it: Many of us live in fear of the gap that represents where we are and where we want to be. This section takes us on a journey to reframe that perspective and create something powerful out of that gap: a bridge.
  • Create a meditation toolkit that works for you: There are several tools in this section, along with an explanation of the benefits of meditation on your body and brain.
  • Identify the self-care rituals that resonate with you: There are twelve self-care concepts to support you as you move into your new aligned vision of yourself. Choose ones that resonate with you and ensure they are an easy to fit into your current life as you begin your journey to the life you truly want.

What’s waiting for you on the other side?
You will see yourself - acknowledge the part of yourself that has a deep knowing of who you truly are. You will feel the desire to get to know that part of yourself, to champion yourself, to live and love from that part of yourself. To quiet the reflexive nature of humanity - the part of us that seeks approval from others rather than from ourselves.”

I wish you a beautiful journey, as you celebrate the most important relationship you have, for a life of intention and alignment.

Living While Dying: My Cancer Journey

by Thom Barrett


How do you react when your entire world changes?

"Living While Dying" by Thom Barrett is a poignant memoir detailing his experiences and insights from battling stage IV prostate cancer. Eight years ago, Thom's life took an unexpected turn with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Initially, he believed a surgery to remove his prostate would cure him, but the cancer had already advanced to stage III, spreading beyond the gland.

The book chronicles Thom's journey since 2015, starting from the initial signs of rising PSA levels to the life-altering biopsy in 2016. After a period of remission, where Thom embraced travel and active living, the cancer returned in 2019, necessitating further treatments like external beam radiation and androgen deprivation therapy.

Despite these challenges, Thom has continued to lead a fulfilling life, traveling and volunteering, even as recent tests in early 2023 showed the cancer's progression to his lymph nodes and chest. Now 67, he faces the realities of stage IV cancer with determination and hope, aiming to surpass survival expectations and maintain a quality life.

This book isn't a step-by-step guide on battling cancer but a deeply personal narrative about living fully in the face of illness. Thom's story emphasizes the power of positivity and the significance of cherishing each moment, offering inspiration to others with cancer and their supporters. It's a testament to facing life's hardest challenges with unwavering strength and optimism. Grab your copy today!

On Animals

by Susan Orlean


NATIONAL BESTSELLER


“Magnificent.” —The New York Times * “Beguiling, observant, and howlingly funny.” —San Francisco Chronicle * “Spectacular.” —Star Tribune (Minneapolis)* “Full of astonishments.” —The Boston Globe

Susan Orlean—the beloved New Yorker staff writer hailed as “a national treasure” by The Washington Post and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Library Book—gathers a lifetime of musings, meditations, and in-depth profiles about animals.

“How we interact with animals has preoccupied philosophers, poets, and naturalists for ages,” writes Susan Orlean. Since the age of six, when Orlean wrote and illustrated a book called 
Herbert the Near-Sighted Pigeon, she’s been drawn to stories about how we live with animals, and how they abide by us. Now, in On Animals, she examines animal-human relationships through the compelling tales she has written over the course of her celebrated career.

These stories consider a range of creatures—the household pets we dote on, the animals we raise to end up as meat on our plates, the creatures who could eat us for dinner, the various tamed and untamed animals we share our planet with who are central to human life. In her own backyard, Orlean discovers the delights of keeping chickens. In a different backyard, in New Jersey, she meets a woman who has twenty-three pet tigers—something none of her neighbors knew about until one of the tigers escapes. In Iceland, the world’s most famous whale resists the efforts to set him free; in Morocco, the world’s hardest-working donkeys find respite at a special clinic. We meet a show dog and a lost dog and a pigeon who knows exactly how to get home.

Equal parts delightful and profound, enriched by Orlean’s stylish prose and precise research, these stories celebrate the meaningful cross-species connections that grace our collective existence.

Against All Odds: A True Story of Ultimate Courage and Survival in World War II

by Alex Kershaw


*The instant 
New York Times bestseller*

The untold story of four of the most decorated soldiers of World War II—all Medal of Honor recipients—from the beaches of French Morocco to Hitler’s own mountaintop fortress, by the national bestselling author of 
The First Wave

“Pitch-perfect.”—The Wall Street Journal • “Riveting.”—World War II magazine • “Alex Kershaw is the master of putting the reader in the heat of the action.”—Martin Dugard

As the Allies raced to defeat Hitler, four men, all in the same unit, earned medal after medal for battlefield heroism. Maurice “Footsie” Britt, a former professional football player, became the very first American to receive every award for valor in a single war. Michael Daly was a West Point dropout who risked his neck over and over to keep his men alive. Keith Ware would one day become the first and only draftee in history to attain the rank of general before serving in Vietnam. In WWII, Ware owed his life to the finest soldier he ever commanded, a baby-faced Texan named Audie Murphy. In the campaign to liberate Europe, each would gain the ultimate accolade, the Congressional Medal of Honor.
 
Tapping into personal interviews and a wealth of primary source material, Alex Kershaw has delivered his most gripping account yet of American courage, spanning more than six hundred days of increasingly merciless combat, from the deserts of North Africa to the dark heart of Nazi Germany. Once the guns fell silent, these four exceptional warriors would discover just how heavy the Medal of Honor could be—and how great the expectations associated with it. Having survived against all odds, who among them would finally find peace?

Just Say It... Even If It Hurts

by Kelsey Brand


Break Free from the Politeness Trap and Rediscover Authentic Connection

In a world where politeness and "not rocking the boat" are often valued more than honesty, "Just Say It... Even If It Hurts" is your passport to incredible relationships.

We're conditioned from childhood and throughout our adult relationships to fear saying the truth, to withhold speaking our true feelings and desires, believing that genuine, honest and frank communication might be taken the wrong way.
