Sexual Soulmates: The Six Essentials for Connected Sex, Susan Bratton

We all crave connection. We long for partnership and passion. We pray for sexual ecstasy, rapture, and union. We know in our bones there is more to explore, more pleasure to be had. We want it all. And we want to give our all. But we don't have a map to lead us into that territory. Susan Bratton's Six Essentials for Connected Sex give us that map. Much of the relationship advice we hear is rooted in the belief that “relationships are hard,” and you have to do a lot of healing work before you can love freely. The approach mapped out in Sexual Soulmates turns that model upside down by making playful sex the focal point for healing and transformation. Relationship frustrations melt away in the crucible of what Susan calls "erotic playdates." The time and energy that previously went into the struggle gets redirected. You start to bring out the best in each other—in the bedroom and out —and empower each other to give your gifts to the world. Most men and women don’t have the basic building blocks for sexual fulfillment. This book puts those basics in your hands. These essentials are so obvious, so simple, and so much fun to play with, they can turn your sex life into an outrageous adventure. In a world where digital natives get their sex education from ography, where hookups are practically obligatory, and where everyone’s head is in their phone rather than their heart, Sexual Soulmates provides the antidote by showing people how to feel their natural desire, follow their pleasure, and TRUST that asking for what they want is a surefire way to get it. These simple strategies will transform your sex life into a love-drenched journey of epic-erotic proportions.

The Courage to Shine is a powerful and inspirational memoir by Dr. Eileen Forrestal, a former anesthesiologist who transforms her life. From a lifetime of 'putting people to sleep', Eileen is now in the business of 'waking people up!

When young Eileen accidentally overdoses on junior aspirin she suffers a speech impediment which she deals with by remaining silent in the shadows to hide her voice. 40 years later, unfulfilled and dissatisfied, with a failed marriage, a strained relationship with her mother, and in an outwardly 'successful' career, she wonders as so many of us do, how did this happen to me? Following this wake-up call, she leaves her successful career in medicine and starts a business writing and publishing inspirational and popular Get Up and Go Diaries.

In The Courage to Shine Eileen retraces her journey, acknowledging the courage it takes to tell the truth about one's own life. She shares her story of finding her voice, healing a powerful mother-daughter relationship, and discovering the courage to shine.

Eileen is now a successful entrepreneur who finds joy and freedom in the healing power of words and encourages others to discover the same. She now lives a life "beyond her dreams" as an entrepreneurial thought leader, writer, speaker, and coach using her own words and wisdom, to share her story of finding her voice.

If you ever wonder if you're living the wrong life, as if somehow, when "two roads diverged in a yellow wood" - you took the wrong road and wound up here, The Courage to Shine will inspire and uplift you. You may find yourself asking, does taking the path less travelled path make all the difference, or perhaps, Is there any such thing as a wrong road?
