Review & Description

Heaven's Jewel: Aaron, Patrick, and Christine Wallace are trying to find a way home after surviving the plane crash that killed their parents and marooned them on a mysterious island. Thanks to the manipulative antics of the Time Entity, their quest will take many months and span many lands. Their journey is full of the unexpected. However, events such as encountering trolls and dragons in a magical garden, seeking the mythical Spidersong to free Jewel Trees from a curse, visiting a futuristic city, sailing beneath the Glacier of Dreams, and witnessing the birth of the Time Entity are nothing compared to the surprise of discovering that their actions hold the key to the survival of all of mankind.

The Eternity Stone: As the time nears for the people of the planet to take refuge in the protected place known as Heaven's Jewel, the exact location of the mysterious island is as yet unknown. In order to buy time, the four grandchildren of the original travelers search for the Eternity Stone, the only object capable of stopping time worldwide. However, before the search for the stone can even begin, the four are called upon to tackle a set of challenges on Elmara Lodés in which they must survive encounters with phantasms, gooleegungs, and other foul creatures. Amidst the many twists and turns of their journey, the new travelers form unusual alliances and make difficult decisions that actually end up changing the events of the past for their ancestors. Once the stone is found, they must piece together an unusual puzzle in order to finally locate the safe haven for mankind.

Futures Sown: What if Spidersong and the Jewel Trees never existed? Events might have taken a very different turn, and the place of refuge for mankind might never exist. In this final segment of the Time Entity Trilogy, the travelers must once again face a series of difficult and bizarre challenges in order to finally secure the safe haven. With the Time Entity still engaged in his quest to outmaneuver Death, the double twins once again traverse the Circles of Time to lay the foundation for the future. Joined by new friends, and familiar faces, their path takes them to a valley of clouds, through a deserted underwater city, and into a realm riddled by fire tornadoes and earth tremors. They must also pass an unusual test in a candy factory in order to complete their quest to locate the seeds to plant the Jewel Trees. Similar to their bargain to obtain the Eternity Stone, the travelers once again feel conflicted when called upon to help create Mirrorseed, the evil fortress of elf enchantments and experiments. However, under the guidance of the Fate Entity, they are eventually able to understand that even some very unpleasant things are meant to be.

Review & Description

Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify & Energize Your Life, Your Home & Your Planet, by Norma Lehmeier Hartie, is an indispensable reference book for anyone who cares about their health and well being and for the future of the planet. Hartie concisely covers a wide range of subjects and includes a comprehensive listing of advisory organizations, product and service resources. Part I of the book, Banish the Ugly from Your Life, is a blueprint for green, sustainable living. Discover how to replace toxic and unsustainable products from household cleaners to food (including recipes) to furniture to personal care products with safe, eco-friendly ones. Hartie is the tough but motivational Life Coach in her approach to cleaning, removing clutter and on organizing the home or office. Part II, Bring in the Beautiful to Create a Harmonious Environment and Self, includes a chapter on Earth-based spirituality and a fascinating look at the Four Elements (Earth, Fire, Air and Water) and the Medicine Wheel. The core of Hartie s philosophy blossoms in Chapter Seven, Applying Harmonious AdjustmentsTM: Using Feng Shui and Other Techniques for Powerful Results. Unlike other Feng Shui authors, Hartie has experience as a designer and her skills are apparent in this chapter and the following two. She has combined principles of Feng Shui, the Four Elements, color, energy, Vastu, and good design principles that create a unique and eclectic approach to home decorating. Finally, Hartie provides guidance on how to manifest personal or professional desires. In Part III, Putting the Pieces Together, Hartie skillfully integrates the many subjects of the book into a unified and cohesive whole. At its cover price of $19.95, Harmonious Environment is a value alone for the comprehensive green living product suppliers in the Resources section. What makes this book so truly ambitious, however, is what lies beneath the surface. In a sense, this book is only marginal

Review & Description

Understanding Feng Shui and Its Role in Design and Life

Feng Shui is a design term you probably have heard bandied about for years but don’t really understand. Pronounced “fung shway,” a quick and dirty definition of Feng Shui could be “an ancient Chinese method of manipulating a living space through the positioning of objects to achieve a harmonic partnership with the environment.” When stated like that, many people believe this concept to be a bunch of hooey. However, the truth is that Feng Shui is a valid concept and incorporates so much more.


Certain architectural elements are often viewed in terms of Feng Shui in addition to how to place furniture as well as what colors and even textures to incorporate into a design. Even particular items or objects are considered to be instrumental in creating a good Feng Shui. Proponents of this design method believe that the overall goal should always be working towards the ideal “chi” or that overall energy that exists within all of us.

Keeping all of this in mind, put simply, Feng Shui is really about the colors, textures, furniture placement and even the place you occupy within a room to achieve maximum harmony and comfort levels. While professional designers have to study for years to truly understand and accurately apply the design concepts of Feng Shui, it is possible for the layperson to grasp the main idea and employ it in their own home.

Review & Description

Why do we attract the same types of people over and over again? Why is it so easy for certain people to find love, and so difficult for others? The Four Pillars of Destiny: A Guide to Relationships answers the age-old questions surrounding relationships, attractions, and true love. By referencing the year, month, day, and hour of a person's birth, the ancient Chinese method of Four Pillars will systematically map the blueprint for his or her life in matters of health, wealth, career, love, and happiness. For countless generations, the Chinese have been drawn to the Four Pillars system for its accurate method of divination. This system has allowed practitioners the ability to analyze many aspects of a person's life and enlightened the path to capitalizing their cosmic flow when good luck happens. The destiny blueprint each of us receives at birth can be used to reveal options and paths that we can act upon during good and bad times in life. Using this blueprint, we can evaluate where our limits lie and understand what we truly are capable of achieving, as well as the type of connections that we can make with those around us.

Jayme Bartett; the feng shui consultant to the rich and powerful of Beverly Hills, has written the most comprehensive and life changing book on the subject. Taking us on a personal tour of the homes she has transformed, Ms. Barrett explains the techniques she uses to create "positive space." Room by room, she illustrates the deeper purpose of every aspect of design; she demonstrates how the simplest adjustment-moving a plant from one corner to another--can make a world of difference in your daily mood and ultimately, your life. Feng shui, she observes is not just about the spaces we occupy. It is a philosophy and way of life that begins with our spiritual awakening and rebirth. Once we use her regimen to cleanse ourselves of impurities of spirit, we can turn to the transformation of our environment and our lives. Lush photography and hundreds upon hundreds of facts, ideas, tips, and suggestions-from her own experience and gleaned from the wisdom of the ages--take us ever closer to the revitalization of home, health, and spirit.

Review & Description

The first book in English on the Hindu precursor to feng shui.


• Allows readers to design homes that conform to eternal spiritual principles.


• Offers suggestions to rectify existing buildings with inauspicious energy.


The subtle art of energy management for prosperity, good health, and calm mind has been introduced to the West through feng shui. Until now the ancient practice of vaastu, the Hindu art of environmental design, has been relatively unknown. Born of the movement of forces within the trinity of the great Hindu gods--Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva--vaastu is the human expression of life's impulse to harmonize itself with the cosmos.

The great culture at Harrapa, in 3000 b.c., applied vaastu to create cities at a level of sophistication that would only be reached again in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Housed in a library in north India, the codified tenets of vaastu were destroyed in medieval times by successive invaders into the country; however, the art of vaastu remained alive, through oral tradition and buried deep within other treatises. The rediscovery of these texts in the 1930s has led to a modern revival of this art in India--brought to Western readers for the first time in Vaastu: The Indian Art of Placement.

Vaastu elucidates principles that orient and plan each element of a structure, both the big picture and the small details. A building's site, ground plan, shape, and orientation are all-important considerations, as are soil quality, window placement, and construction materials. The affinities of household items--the telephone, computer, bath--with the five elements of nature, and thus their ideal placement within the structure, are also described. Guidelines for modifying existing buildings help the reader apply the vaastu principles in a practical manner. Vaastu: The Indian Art of Placement will assist in creating personal environments that promote peace, harmony, and health.
