Award-winning Canadian poet releases her first full-length book of poetry-inspirational poems for women about self-worth, trauma resilience, and healing. Healing can happen in an instant. Opening this book of poetry for women is like opening your awareness. It's the first step in the direction of love, of listening to your heart. You are not defined by what happened to you. You are what you do in this moment. Essentially a collection of love poems for anxious people, No Matter how Dark the Stain acknowledges the innocence of the heart and the child within us all. It meets people in their darkest space and gives a breath of life to the pain and feelings that haunt and keep bad patterns recurring. It offers a light, it sends love and comfort, affirmations, and strength to keep pushing through pain and through that door, which is within, revealing the love and light of awareness and expanding the mind and heart to new possibilities beyond the painful experiences. This book will shine light on darkness to invoke rising closer to our full loving nature, potential. No Matter How Dark the Stain is presented in three sections: <ul> <li>Poems of love, innocence, and poems of hope from the time before loss, grief, and trauma</li> <li>Grieving poems for the loss of a child, and poetry about abuse and trauma</li> <li>Poems of getting over grief, healing poems, poems of hope and gratitude, poems of love, especially self-love.</li> </ul> Where there is light, there can be no darkness. Love is like a switch that heals our darkness. You've opened your heart. Felt the pieces falling apart. Poet Andrea L. Wehlann has glued her pieces together, on her knees. She tells her yoga students: "That's the thing about the heart. It breaks." Wehlann's book of poetry for women holds space for your pain. Her words can be your light. Your body wants to heal. Close your eyes, breathe these poems in, into that space we are all open, free, and interconnected. "You are not alone. You can do this-as I have. You're a star. It's never too late to shine. Thank you for taking this journey to the light with me." -Andrea

International Impact Book Awards 2021, WINNER (Family and Travel categories) 
Firebird Book Awards 2021, first place WINNER (Travel category) 
Hollywood Book Festival Awards 2021, Honorable Mention (Biography/Autobiography/Memoir)\nSometimes life is unpredictable and there’s no time like now to live adventurously. 
A couple of average high-school sweethearts from middle-class America go off to college, get married, follow all the rules, play it safe, and pursue the American Dream. When they find themselves boxed in by their predictable life and looking for adventure, they decide to revisit their dreams of youth, abandon the conventional path, and leave the safety of suburbia to live aboard a sailboat with their five children. Yes, five. 
But to turn their shared dream into reality, they must surmount discomfort and difficulty, face their fears and insecurities, and work together to make big decisions. Leaving the Safe Harbor charts the journey of the author and her family from suburban Atlanta to coastal Florida to distant islands as seen from the deck of a catamaran. It shares the highs and lows of living in close quarters, and of raising five children while homeschooling bravely on a boat. 
You’ll travel through space and time and explore the metaphysical landscape of hardship, love, grace, and spiritual growth. Imagine yourself in the author's shoes and contemplate how you’d handle these difficult and humorous situations. It will awaken your own desires to follow your dreams and dig deeply into the meaning and purpose of your life. You may be willing to overcome excuses you’ve made when you see how others succeeded despite obstacles. 
Leaving the Safe Harborshows us more than seafaring stories or what it’s like to go sailing with kids. Each chapter explores a different sailing idiom and the character traits developed by challenges and adventures. It shows that conflict can be handled through grace, how failures can lead to future successes, how hardship can teach us gratitude and help us find inner strength. It reveals the trade-offs when a family prioritizes relationships and experiences over material things and a so-called normal life. Living close to nature enriches the author’s spiritual life. And the ocean teaches life lessons, including how to be flexible, disciplined, patient, and open to new experiences. Most importantly, Leaving the Safe Harbor shows us how love, perseverance, and hard work can turn an idea into a reality. 
The couple returns to the United States after a decade of travel, their children now on the cusp of adulthood, and discovers that they are no longer the same people who left the house with the white picket fence. 
Anything is possible. Even a neurotic suburban housewife and her workaholic husband can leave their home and minivan behind and homeschool five children on a boat.

Do you look at the world around you and wonder where we've gone so wrong? Then it's time to get involved in making it a better place. However, if you want to make a positive social impact, you need transformative leadership. There are too many examples in the world that show that the traditional changemaker playbook isn't working, that those who make the decisions that can change people's lives for the better need a new approach to social impact strategy. The Weaver's Way: What An Ancient Art Can Teach You About Shaping Change proposes just such an approach for the social entrepreneur. Inspired by the way a Guatemalan weaver approaches the art of bringing separate strands together to create strong, beautiful textiles, The Weaver's Way is the changemaker's book you need if you're interested in social entrepreneurship and innovation that is sustainable. It invites you to think about how change happens and whether the approach you've been taking or have read about in other social enterprise books is really the most effective for the community that you're working in. It explores the sociology of change and suggests tools for social change that you may find useful in your journey. The Weaver's Way is a practical guide for how to be a changemaker without being prescriptive. After all, just like every new textile the weaver creates, every situation where you might want to see social change is unique. There isn't one pattern that fits all but the basic principles--the stitches and techniques--that the book explores are universal, whether you're in Guatemala or Australia, Malaysia or Botswana, or in the United States. Archbishop Desmond Tutu said, "Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world." As a sustainable business book, The Weaver's Way is an inspiring and thought-provoking read not only for those working in the formal change sector but also for anyone wanting to make those small changes in their community that may end up changing their world.

Anyone working in trauma-informed care knows that the body keeps the score. This is why PTSD therapy can make such a difference in not only the mental health of those suffering from PTSD and complex PTSD but also in their physical health. However, psychotherapy for PTSD, cognitive behavioural therapy, and internal family systems therapy aren’t always enough. For clients needing an alternative therapy for PTSD, accelerated resolution therapy, or ART, offers a promising solution. This relatively new evidence-based therapy may not have made it into every PTSD textbook yet but is well on its way to become mental health providers’ first choice for trauma informed therapy because it delivers real results in such a short time: only about eight sessions. 
You may have already undergone basic ART training and have even read an accelerated resolution therapy book or two. So what makes this one different? Come Passion – The Soulful ART of Healing Trauma and What to Do Before You Deliver Accelerated Resolution Therapy isn’t simply an accelerated resolution therapy manual and its focus isn’t on the ART itself but on how to prepare your client and yourself for your sessions. It is designed to enhance your work as an ART therapist and help you refine your skills. In addition to providing you with the foundation you need, this mood disorders therapy workbook also gives you practical tools, such as scripts and checklists, that can help you streamline your sessions with your client. It is the PTSD and complex PTSD recovery workbook you will return to again and again as you become more adept at delivering this soulful art of helping your clients heal from their trauma-related wounds.
