Nancy's intention is to share the tangled threads and beautiful tapestry of her life. She's experienced the beauty of love and seen the graceful unfolding of death. She is a rebel with a cause and a humble, peaceful warrior. She knows that battling through life with an axe seeking vengeful justice does not align with with a joyful journey. Peace is power and beauty is love.

In a Community Garden
Who knew a feral cat named Sebastian could observe and share so many different insights about human behavior - all within a formerly abandoned lot?
FINDING ZACHARIAH allows you to capture the spirit of what is possible in a community garden. While this remarkable story is fiction, it is based on true events. Imagine a veteran with PTSD, who has fallen into homelessness and thinks alcohol is his only friend--only to find a true friend in a feral cat, Sebastian. Then, imagine a family suffering from losing their dad to violence.
Finally, imagine the possible healing and reconciliation that can occur when volunteers work their own "road map" to turn their lives around--with the help of compassionate humans, the feral cat, and a service dog.
Many things go on in a community garden--mulch-making, seed-planting, pollinating, irrigating, nurturing--both plants and people, and reaping a bountiful harvest.
All this can occur even in Phoenix, Arizona, where you can plant in October and January, but not in May, and where you need to add nutrients and water to the parched desert soil.
Nancy has volunteered in two community gardens. She has learned up close what makes a garden work. First, all who participate learn skills and provide nutritious food for families. Even more important, she has witnessed the rich bonds of friendship that form among the humans--and their companions--who make the community garden an integral part of their lives.

Running Up Hills
An Irreverent Journey through the Ups and Downs of Life
(or…The Cynical Ramblings of a Sixty-Something Bloke)
This is not a “self-help” book… in fact, by the time you get to the end, you may well need to buy one of those (sorry).
We’re going to explore some of the areas that, during my life, have annoyed me. Irritated me. Raised my blood pressure. And almost made me stop doing stuff I wanted to do. But I also think you will share my feelings. You may well nod your head and think “yep, I know where he’s coming from.”
So, what hills are we up against? Well, I’ll start by introducing you to the concept of faffing. We’ll look at the agony of an airline losing your bag. We’ll discuss the frustration of packaging and how it once nearly got me arrested. We’ll open the topic of jobsworths and how they impact our lives. We’ll consider the pain that comes with being passionate about sport. We’ll dig into the sad world of the sporting cheat.
And we’ll tackle two of the most challenging hills I have come across in my life: my mother’s fight with Alzheimer’s disease and my own journey of living with Tourette Syndrome. I hope this all offers you a chance to consider the hills in your life. I hope what I will share will offer you an opportunity for personal reflection. And I hope you find the upward journey on which we are about to embark to be relevant, enlightening… and just maybe a bit of fun.
