You may not think anything about IBD or IBS is funny, until you read Elizabeth Roberts' account of her emotional roller-coaster ride as she learned to live successfully with these illnesses. After spending most of her honeymoon on St. Bart's in the bathroom, Roberts returned home determined to find out what had happened to her dream life. After months of tests, her doctors told her she had IBD and IBS and had to learn to live with these debilitating diseases. But no one told her how! After she hit bottom, physically and emotionally, Roberts decided that to get her life back she would have to find the way herself. This book recounts her journey-sometimes painfully, sometimes humorously-through the process of learning to live successfully with IBD and IBS. Follow Roberts on her journey as she learns to understand the needs of her body; participates in special diets; engages in support groups; and integrates Reiki, yoga, meditation, and exercise into her daily routine of success. If you, a family member, a lover, or a friend have been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, this book is a must read. You too can start to live again!

<p>In March of 1959, a 23 year-old Tibetan youth named Tenzin Gyatso burst onto the world stage. Fleeing his native country to govern in exile from India, the Dalai Lama would go on to become one of the great leaders of our time. Then, in March 2008, the diplomat, icon, and winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize was blamed for inciting violence in Tibet's traditional capital of Lhasa. From the national uprising in 1959, which cost more than 85,000 Tibetans their lives, to the rise of the Tibetan freedom fighters; the aftereffects of Nixon's historic visit to China, and preparations for the Dalai Lama's successor, this seminal history offers an insider's view of the 50-year struggle for autonomy. Based on interviews with CIA and political insiders, this epic story gives readers a new understanding of a conflict that continues to fascinate the world.</p>

When Elizabeth Roberts twice lost her sight, she felt she had lost her self, as well. Months and years of darkness loomed ahead. How could she continue the life she once had? Could she be selfreliant and independent? Could she find happiness in accomplishment again? This collection of stories, poems, and essays reflects her journey to go beyond loss . . . to regain life. She recalls disturbing times of abuse as she seeks a newlydefined self. She finds wonderfully implausible moments of humor involving students, teachers, and colleagues. Furthermore, the abiding love for a small donkey, a gray cat, and a cherished friend brings positive, though poignant, remembrances. The “glimpses” of her life reveal frustration and fear, as well as joy, contentment, and peace, but most of all, the hope and love she needs to survive, to live, to flourish. Through the author's loss of sight and search for vision, we see resilience and achievement and . . . love.
