Unveiling Hidden Treasures: Louise Dupont’s Journey of Healing and Inspiration

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- In the quiet corners of memory, amidst the shadows of loss, there often lie hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. For Louise Dupont, author of "Hidden Treasures" (IBSN: 978-0228876014; Tellwell Publishing), the journey to uncover these gems began with a simple photograph - a snapshot of her son.

"The inspiration for Hidden Treasures came from seeing the picture of my son juggling with fire," reflects Dupont. "One day as I was looking at the picture, it came to mind that a book would be written about this."

Yet, it wasn't until she stumbled upon a childhood story penned by her son, nestled among his graduation pictures, that the vision for her book began to crystallize.

"As I read his story I was taken aback by the symbolic messages found in it... I was very comforted by the idea of the ghost made of light that guided my son through the storm and brought him safely home," Dupont shares, her words echoing the poignant themes woven into her son's narrative.

The tale, titled "Lost in the Storm," resonated deeply with Dupont and those who encountered its profound symbolism. "Sure enough - people were quite surprised that such a young person could have written this very meaningful story," she reflects.

With a sense of purpose ignited within her, Dupont embarked on a mission to share her son's story with a wider audience. "Surely the messages contained in this story were not just for my eyes alone," she muses.

Drawing from her own experience of navigating the tumultuous waters of grief and loss, Dupont endeavored to infuse "Hidden Treasures" with a sense of hope and healing. "Since suicide is such a traumatic experience for everyone involved I really wanted the book to be uplifting and healing in nature," she explains.

Guided by words of solace received in sympathy cards and driven by a desire to bring attention to the important topics of suicide and mental health, Dupont meticulously curated every aspect of the book, from its soothing design to the inclusion of children's drawings and healing colors.

"My goal was to create a soothing and peaceful experience for the reader - even though the subject is such a difficult one," she shares.

As "Hidden Treasures" prepares to make its debut, Dupont remains hopeful that her book will serve as a beacon of light for those traversing the labyrinth of grief and healing.

"This endeavor turned out to be my way of bringing attention to the important topics of suicide and mental health issues," she reflects. "I am hopeful that the public will want to explore these themes with me."

In "Hidden Treasures," Louise Dupont invites readers to embark on a journey of discovery, where pain gives way to healing, and the shadows yield to the light of hope.

Rising Incivility Threatens Local Democracies: ‘Save Your City’ Presents an Urgent Roadmap for Civic Culture Renewal

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tellwell Publishing today announced the release of the 5th Anniversary edition of Diane Kalen-Sukra's seminal book "Save Your City: How Toxic Culture Kills Community & What To Do About It" (ISBN: 978-0228810872; paper). In a climate where rising incivility and toxic culture increasingly threaten local democracies, this book arrives as a timely antidote.

This updated and illustrated edition presents a comprehensive "Roadmap to Renewing Civic Culture," equipping community leaders and citizens alike with practical steps to foster collaborative environments of respect, mutual understanding, and civil discourse.

Kalen-Sukra has spent the past five years on a civility tour (https://www.dianekalensukra.com/media), collaborating with local governments and communities across North America and beyond, to highlight and address the ways in which incivility and toxic behavior obstruct the abilities of cities and communities to manage pressing issues such as the infrastructure deficit, homelessness, and public safety.Top of Form

"The escalation of toxic behavior, from insults to threats to physical violence, significantly erodes social trust, reduces civic participation, and undermines policymaking," Kalen-Sukra says. "This cycle further fuels polarization, creating a vicious loop, which too often leads to dysfunction, resignations and even local governance collapse."

This is underscored by findings from the new Brenner Centre for Justice's report, "Intimidation of State and Local Officeholders: A Threat to Democracy," revealing that 40% of local officials are hesitant to seek re-election due to the surge in abuse and an equal number are reluctant to take on important but controversial issues. This trend disproportionately affects women and people of color, thereby limiting diverse viewpoints and ideas.

"In a democracy, might is not right," says Kalen-Sukra. "Resorting to harassment over political differences is both authoritarian and antithetical to democratic values."

"Local officials and governments are increasingly forced to invest in expensive security measures to protect themselves from their own constituents-the very people they represent and serve," Kalen-Sukra says. "This situation is both tragic and absurd."

"In order to thrive, our local democracies depend on our ability to revive the art of living and working well together," says Kalen-Sukra. "We stand at a crossroads: deeper division or collective renewal. The choice is ours."

"Save Your City" Book Summary

"Save Your City" takes readers on a journey from the perilous terrains of "Bullyville," a place where incivility and toxic culture reigns; to an eye-opening visit to classical antiquity for civic wisdom; to the aspirational streets of "Sustainaville," which prioritizes the civic values of respect, collaboration, and shared responsibility in shaping a more inclusive and resilient future.

The successful journey includes a renaissance of civic values and civic education as vital to fostering the type of culture that can sustain us, our democracy, and our planet.

"Save Your City" is a practical manifesto for anyone committed to the hard work of civic culture renewal. Available at all major booksellers.

A Light Amongst the Stars: The Journey of a Psychic Medium – A Message of Hope

NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia /ScoopCloud/ -- A message of hope coming through the veil from those who have passed over, and from the Divine Spirit who is guiding us into this new future. In Dr. Mark W. Burns' current book, "A Light Amongst the Stars" (ISBN: 978-0228893684; July, 2023), he questions: What if humanity has passed an important milestone and the message of doom, proposed by so many for so long, is now wrong?

We are not victims but rather powerful participants in the game of life and we all have a part of the Divine within us that empowers us to achieve amazing outcomes in our individual lives."

Author Dr. Mark W. Burns has a degree in forestry with first-class honors, a Master of Resource Science post-graduate degree and a PhD. His career has been mainly focused on land rehabilitation, and particularly reforestation of land damaged by mining and other destructive land uses.

During his life Mark has been fascinated by psychics and mediums and particularly those who provide compassion and love to those going through difficult times. This story highlights his encounter with one such psychic medium and the powerful messages being passed on to humanity through her.

JOEY AND HIS FRIEND WATER: A playful book introducing children and their parents to the idea that everything around us is energy vibrating at different speeds

TORONTO, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- In Ellen J. Lewinberg's current picture book, "Joey and His Friend Water" (ISBN: 978-0228881698; May 2023), Joey, the main character in the book, finds that he is able to talk to the water in a stream behind his house. Joey finds it hard to believe that he is talking to and learning from Water, and keeps checking the ideas that Water is presenting to him.

"Joey and His Friend Water" introduces children and their parents to the idea that everything around us from people, to plants, to trees, to rocks, is energy vibrating at different speeds. And, in this way, everything in the universe is connected. The importance of the water cycle, mycelium and trees in healing the earth is talked about alongside Maseru Imoto's work on water and the idea that the way in which water reacts to words and emotions has implications for our bodies and our environment. The importance of trees in our environment is stressed and also provides hope for Joey and his friends to do something to help the earth.

Author Ellen J. Lewinberg holds a master's degree in social work and is a trained child and adult psychoanalyst. She worked as a psychoanalyst for many years until a health issue introduced her to energy healing. She was excited by the potential of energy healing, so she trained and currently works as an energy healer.

Ellen realized that young children experience a connection to energy and the unseen, but forget this knowledge as they grow older. She wanted to remind both older children and adults how important it is for themselves and the world around them to remember the connections.

"I am a bioenergy healer and have always been interested in alternative healing, farming and shamanism. I am an avid reader and in recent years have come across more and more information about water and its ability to communicate and respond to our questions and emotions.

"I work with unseen energies in the environment and in people. I know that young children see and hear much that is unseen. Many of them see auras and nature spirits. I want to remind children of all ages that everything is alive and everything is connected, and just because we cannot see something with our eyes does not mean it does not exist and is not important. Imagination is also crucial to our survival.

"I feel it is very important to our survival and that of the earth to remember that the unseen exists and is as important, if not more important, than the seen objective world.

"My hope with this book is to rekindle children's imaginations and to have them understand that everything is connected. One's actions in one area have an effect on every other area. And our imaginations play a vital role in coming up with new solutions to solve our problems here on earth. Trees are crucial in our lives and play an important part in our world. They not only capture carbon, but also provide healing. The Forest Bathing movement from Japan has provided enormous amounts of evidence for this. I wanted children to understand this. They are the adults of tomorrow and will be the ones left with the mess we have made. Some of the solutions are easy if one can only implement them."

"Joey and His Friend Water," Ellen's first picture book, was released in 2023.

Reimagining Parenthood: A Therapist’s Insight Into Weathering Relationship Storms – A Beacon Of Support For Couples In The Journey Of Raising Children

CALGARY, Alberta, Canada /ScoopCloud/ -- Relationships, marriage, and parenthood-these beautiful connections often come with their share of challenges. Dan McMillan, a therapist and psychologist based in Alberta, Canada, witnessed the struggles that can plague relationships. He recognized the need to shed light on a common hurtful pattern that couples often find themselves in. This realization led to the creation of his debut picture book, "Badger and Turtle: Face the Storm" (ISBN: 978-0228888116).

The inspiration for this heartwarming tale emerged from McMillan's experiences working closely with couples. He noticed a recurring pattern in their dynamics and decided to simplify it through a story about a badger and a turtle. In the story, the turtle retreats into its shell when stressed, while the badger, though well-meaning, persists in pursuing the turtle with increasing intensity. This tug-of-war between withdrawal and pursuit struck a chord with many couples.

"Badger and Turtle: Face the Storm" (Tellwell Publishing, 2023), follows a pair of friends who learn to work together under stress. This book is meant for not only children to enjoy, but as a tool for families to better understand a common, hurtful pattern that can occur, particularly between parents.

McMillan explains, "This book holds significance in that one of the key factors in parents' mental and emotional wellbeing is the support of their partner whilst the children are young. When their relationship is strong the support is high, but when it is struggling that needed support is low. Statistically, and intuitively, relationship satisfaction is low whilst raising young children, due to the demands of it. "Badger and Turtle: Face the Storm" attempts to focus on bringing needed education to this population at a time it is most relevant, in a culture that isn't telling them this."

The initial years of parenthood present considerable obstacles for couples. The nature of their relationship impacts not just them, but also profoundly shapes the emotional landscape in which their children mature. "Badger and Turtle: Face the Storm" is an important tool to share this educational metaphor via a fun, safe story for all!

A Deadly Foe Is On The Horizon, But Krell’s Past May Be Deadlier – Fantasy Author Releases Riveting Sequel Of Paladins And Gods

TORONTO, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- A fantastical story set in a world where paladins are heroes and the champions of the gods finds itself in the shadow of a looming threat. Their only choice? To rely on the services of an uneducated, incapable and stubborn paladin named Krell, whose adventures we follow again in the fantasy novel "Futility of Defense" (ISBN: 978-0228892243; July, 2023) by Bryan Cole, the second book in the "A Paladin's Journey" series.

A new release, "Futility of Defense," is set in a world where paladins are nothing but trouble and stories about paladins are everywhere. When Krell, an uneducated nobody with a stubborn streak as wide as the sea, hears the call from ReckNor, the capricious god of the seas and skies, the attention of the rich and powerful turn their gaze toward him. Paladins are notorious for upsetting the balance of power, to the detriment of any who don't worship their deity.

When Krell stands against the might of the sea devils and emerges victorious, concern and interest turn to fear-fear of their secrets and plans being revealed and exposed, of the ruin that often follows in a paladin's wake. Now he stands in defense of a pitiful town at the edge of nowhere, even as the sea devil menace grows more dire for each day that passes. For as deadly as the sea devils are to Krell, his past choices and the consequences of his actions may be deadlier still . . .

"A Paladin's Journey" is a series that's perfect for fans of "Lord of the Rings" and "Game of Thrones." Readers of the first book have said it is "...a promising start to a series that high-fantasy fans will enjoy" and had an ending that "kept me hanging on for more...."

BRYAN COLE is an avid reader and has loved the fantasy genre since he was a child. His love of stories of mighty knights, terrible dragons, and noble steeds has inspired him for decades. Find out more at https://www.fatpaladin.ca/.

SYDNEY, Australia /ScoopCloud/ -- Sloan Blecher's literary fiction novel "The Shadow" (ISBN: 978-0228888840; June, 2023) is a heartbreaking story told in a heartwarming way of a family's struggles when a new family moves next door.

"The Shadow" explores Jack and Liz Campbell's life and family in a rural community. Very few farming communities thrive. Most simply endure, sourcing sustenance from a strong family and community ethos that dominates their lives, but when they achieve their land ownership dream, the outlook for their challenging rural life is primed to improve. Derailment starts soon after a new family, the Duncans, arrive in the valley. Relationships become troubled when Jack betrays the absolute trust of his family and community, exposing both families to the trauma of psychological violence and family breakdown.

Despite growing their family with new additions, Jack defies his wife and family to satisfy his own ambitions. Families splinter in unpredictable ways. Hard men cast shadows that others struggle to escape from. Few make it back to daylight; however, redemption awaits those who do.

Sloan Blecher grew up on a farm in Victoria, Australia, with many elements of that property described in his first broadly published book, "The Shadow." He now lives in Sydney with his wife, children and dog. Besides living and working in rural environments, Sloan worked in finance, government and semi-government roles before spending many years supporting large corporates and multinationals in the services industry. Sloan enjoys writing about personal experiences and their consequences, many of which have been shared in "The Shadow."
