What is the main thing that stops you doing all those things you'd love to do? That stops you trying a new idea, starting a new hobby, looking for new opportunities or finishing that long-overdue project. It's time isn't it? It certainly is for most of us. We're all drowning in work never-ending to-do lists, constant deadlines one after the other, too many emails to possibly answer! If only some of that load could be lifted. If only we could find some space, some breathing room, some time to actually think. It would mean we could try new things, think creatively, do our best rather than just enough to get it done and off our plate. Certainly in work, business growth is dependent on creative thinking and innovation you need time to do that. If you want to succeed in your career, or make more room in your life for the nonwork stuff, then you need to free up some time. And what's the key to finding time? Delegation. Let Gail Thomas teach you to art of delegation. Stop wasting your time on tasks you're overqualified for and see how you actually can focus on the important stuff.

As \u003ci\u003eHealing Pandora \u003c\/i\u003eshows, it's also one of the most relevant. Psychologist Gail Thomas has used Pandora in her practice for two decades, often with profound results. Cast in popular accounts as the evil bringer of doom to humanity in divine retaliation for Prometheus stealing fire, Pandora, in Thomas' view, is a much more complex character, with enormous healing powers as well as her better-known destructive capacity. In this revelatory book, Thomas shows Pandora's true nature as the dark but all-giving feminine, the archetypal vessel of culture and city with the power to heal our culture. Pandora's task is to help us transform our overwhelmingly material civilization into a culture of undivided participation and engagement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart one discusses Pandora's multifaceted persona as both beautiful evil and divine benefactress. Here Thomas contextualizes Pandora in the cycle of myth and archetype. In part two, the author proposes a series of healing rituals--Healing Our Fear of Sacrifice, Healing Our Dis-Ease, Healing the Control of Patriarchy, and others--inspired by Pandora. Both practical guide and inspiring study, \u003ci\u003eHealing Pandora \u003c\/i\u003eargues persuasively for manifesting our inner work concretely on the cultural, not just personal, level.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49800326414609,"sku":"CIN1556438397G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50700148965649,"sku":"CIN1556438397VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1556438397.jpg?v=1750718134"},{"product_id":"odd-mercy-book-gail-thomas-9780997914924","title":"Odd Mercy","description":"\u003cb\u003eWinner of the 2016 Charlotte Mew Prize\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The centerpiece of \u003ci\u003eOdd Mercy\u003c\/i\u003e is The Little Mommy Sonnets, a crown of sonnets that carries us poignantly through the life and death of the poet's mother, as well as their complicated bond over time. I was impressed with Gail Thomas' dedication to craft, her richness of detail and especially her deft transitions from the end line of one sonnet to the opening line of the next. The challenge here is to repeat the line, but to make it new, to show us another facet, and Thomas does that so skillfully in these poems, propelling us forward through the narrative. Poetry uses words to convey what is beyond words, to say the unsayable. The last line of \u003ci\u003eOdd Mercy\u003c\/i\u003e expresses this paradox tenderly as the poet reflects on her mother: your words\/now gibberish, your voice always in my head.\u003cbr\u003e -\u003cb\u003eEllen Bass, Judge of the Charlotte Mew Prize\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The stunning centerpiece of \u003ci\u003eOdd Mercy\u003c\/i\u003e, The Little Mommy Sonnets explores a complicated mother\/daughter relationship that is turned on its head by dementia.

He was surrounded with children and babies and told her He would come get her later, but this time, He needed her to come back and convince Gail to complete this sunset book to inspire his people who enjoy God's awesome sunsets. The authors included their soothing prayers and photographs of sunsets that were sent by God. Even though Gail's dear mama passed away on August 3, 2016, Gail knew her mama's heart was in the book. She decided to put her time and work into making her mama's wish become her legacy. It was her heart to have a sunset book for others to enjoy.
