Hello from beautiful Montana, As a global speaker and writer on family issues, I am frequently asked why I would have chosen an artichoke as my logo. What does parent education and artichokes have in common? You will find the answers in other essays included in this little recipe, history and philosophy book. In addition to the yummy treasures in the recipes, I want to share my enthusiasm for finding the heart of the story in the journey of life. My message focuses on Respect, Resilience and Responsibility, all qualities that the artichoke and those grow and eat them have. Three Important Lessons Part of my community volunteerism is hearing and recording end-of-life stories for Hospice.It is such an honor to share that space between worlds and gain from the wisdom of the dying. According to a study done and my own experience, the three things most dying people regret are: They wish they would have risked more. My mother said she chose the known and the unknown would have been fine.How many people are intimidated by the artichoke and miss the delectable pleasure because they were too afraid to ask how to cook and eat them? They wish they would have reflected more. Just stopped along the way to think “Is this the kind of person I want to be? Is this really what I want to do with my life? What would make me happier?” They wish they would have contributed more. One man told me that he wished he would have shared his wisdom with his sons. Another said she wished they would have had more people over for dinner and not worried about the stained carpet. You can be sure I always contribute one of these easy and delicious artichoke recipes when we attend a pot-luck or host a dinner party. Removing The Outer, Revealing The Inner As I learned these lessons, I removed some outer leaves of doubt and fear. When I dared to open my heart and really accept the pointy edges and the fuzzy parts, my life changed. So much better in fact, I am amazed and grateful for the blessings and opportunities that have come to our lives. Grow, Select, Cook & Eat With Gusto It is my deepest with that you find that same peace and joy in your heart. And that you will learn more about how to grow, select and cook an artichoke. And especially you will gain the confidence to eat with gusto the delicious meat on the artichoke leaves as you dig down to the heart. I wish you joy as you dip the meaty petal of this thistle into the best life has to offer you. Bon Appetit Hopefully, we will meet in person one day and share a cup of tea and exchange stories. Until then, please know that you are loved and appreciated. Fondly, Judy Helm Wright aka “Auntie Artichoke” A wise woman with a global message http://www.ArtichokePress.com
"In Here's to the Ladies, theater journalist Eddie Shapiro opens a jewelry box full of glittering surprises, through in-depth conversations with twenty leading women of Broadway. The women he interviewed spent endless hours with him, discussing their careers, offering insights into the iconic shows, changes on Broadway over the last century, and the art (and thrill) of taking the stage night after night. Each of these conversations is guided by Shapiro's expert knowledge of these women's careers, Broadway lore, and the details of famous (and infamous) musicals"--
This is an inspirational account of a typical dad's extraordinary journey through several forgotten life lessons -- and the discovery of one life-changing gift. Jim Higley was a forty-year-old bobblehead. Just like those collectible figurines -- with an oversized head on a bouncy spring -- he had put on a smiling face and bobble through his hectic, overflowing days. Higley's bobbling comes to a screeching halt with the diagnosis of cancer and a summer of healing. But this is not only a cancer story. This book gives the reader a front row seat in the author's discovery of illuminating parallels between the events of his childhood and adulthood, as he delves into his family history with rich, vivid detail. Through humorous and poignant memories, "Bobblehead Dad" unwraps lessons from the past -- revealing meaning in simple moments and the people who fill them -- including the surprise discovery of Higley's most important lesson, quietly waiting for over thirty years. Written in an informal but eloquent voice, the book keeps readers laughing, crying and -- most importantly -- thinking about their own life journey. Higley's distinctive storytelling rhythm, combined with a knack for handling heavy topics with an embraceable voice, quickly draws readers into his experiences -- while launching them on their own journey of self-discovery and reflection.

In these linked stories, the constants are the places—from Eight Mile High, the local high school, to Eight Miles High, the local bar; from The Clock, a restaurant that never closes, to Stan’s, a store that sells misfit clothes. Daniels’s characters wander Detroit, a world of concrete, where even a small strip of greenery becomes a hideout for mystery and mayhem. Even when they leave town—to Scout camp, or Washington, DC, or the mythical Up North, they take with them their hardscrabble working-class sensibilities and their determination to do what they must do to get by. With a survival instinct that includes a healthy dose of humor, Daniels’s characters navigate work and love, change and loss, the best they can. These characters don’t have the luxury of feeling sorry for themselves, even when they stumble. They dust themselves off and head back into the ring with another rope-a-dope wisecrack. These stories seem to suggest that we are always coming of age, becoming, trying to figure out what it means to be an adult in this world, attempting to figure out a way to forgive ourselves for not measuring up to our own expectations of what it means to lead a successful, happy life.
