A Portable Identity, revised and updated edition, is written by two former expatriate spouses who are also counselors The book educates and empowers expatriate spouses to take charge of the changes in identity that occur during an international relocation.

Unlike any other book about overseas living, this book explains with clarity, candor and compassion, how each stage of the move affects a woman’s identity.

The book also explains why the thoughts and feelings she may experience as an expatriate spouse are normal within the context of so much change, and how she can use the steps of The Wheel to shape her identity in a way that honors her sense of self while living in a foreign country and culture, as well as during repatriation. A Portable Identity is essential reading for military, corporate, non-governmental organization, missionary, and foreign service spouses. By learning how to take charge of change, a spouse can make choices for a happier and more meaningful life overseas. The result is a more successful transition to life abroad and a more "portable" identity that can thrive away from home. A Portable Identity is also a valuable resource for professionals, including human resource managers, international relocation specialists, employee assistance professionals and therapists.

Weekly Meditations: Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul with Accompanying Reflections
Asked how one might find one's way into Christianity, Brother David Steindl-Rast, a Benedictine monk, advised, "Meditate the sacred year." In the same vein, when asked what a lifetime's study of Anthroposophy had given him, the English philosopher Owen Barfield replied, "I now have some idea of the reality of the living year." For readers who like to chew on poetry meditatively, Weekly Meditations will set them firmly on the path to realizing both these great realities. Rudolf Steiner's weekly verses allow readers to follow the course of the year in body, soul, and spirit. Patsy Scala's poetic reflections, arising from her deep practice of the verses, provide an accessible and complementary guide to one's daily practice--from the perspective of one who has sought to live inwardly with the sacred, living year. Weekly Meditations is a book to keep handy and continually return to throughout the seasons.

Companions for the Passage: Stories of the Intimate Privilege of Accompanying the Dying
"In a society which denies death Marjorie Ryerson's book can help everyone awaken to the beauty and meaning of life. Death is the greatest teacher I know of, about life, and by sharing the stories within this book with us she will help us all to live fuller, more meaningful lives." -Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of Help Me to Heal and 365 Prescriptions for the Soul"Ryerson offers us the rare opportunity to free ourselves from fear and recognize in our own lives the power of love and the presence of mystery. A book for anyone who has ever wondered what it takes to face the unknown." -Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather's Blessings" Companions for the Passage provides a unique look at the ways people adapt to loss. These are powerful stories for anyone who has experienced the death of a loved one." ---J. Donald Schumacher, President and CEO, National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization Companions for the Passage, from the author of the acclaimed Water Music, is an unforgettable book on a rarely visited subject: the personal stories of those who have witnessed the death of a loved one. Similar to works of Studs Terkel, author Marjorie Ryerson's interviews capture the human condition through their wide variety of experiences and voices. Some of the interviewees are religious, some not; some encouraged their loved ones to accept death, others to fight it to the end. There are stories of heroic nurses and of indifferent hospital bureaucracies, of deaths that came too soon, and those that came at the end of a long, rich life. Possessing an affirmative quality that is anything but sentimental, ultimately these stories celebrate the experience of being present at the death of a loved one. .
