About Landscape of a Marriage by Gail Ward Olmsted

A marriage of convenience leads to a life of passion and purpose. A shared vision transforms the American landscape forever.
New York, 1858: Mary, a young widow with three children, agrees to marry her brother-in-law Frederick Law Olmsted, who is acting on his late brother’s deathbed plea to “not let Mary suffer”. But she craves more than a marriage of convenience and sets out to win her husband’s love. Beginning with Central Park in New York City, Mary joins Fred on his quest to create a ‘beating green heart’ in the center of every urban space.
Over the next 40 years, Fred is inspired to create dozens of city parks, private estates and public spaces with Mary at his side. Based upon real people and true events, this is the story of Mary’s journey and personal growth and the challenges inherent in loving a brilliant and ambitious man.

The Widow’s Dilemma by Kimberly C. Miller

In an effort to escape the pain of her past, Emma Jones answered an advertisement to become a mail order bride. When she became Adam’s wife, she never imagined that she would be widowed just a few months later. Alone and with a homestead to care for, she receives an offer from a neighboring cattle rancher that she finds hard to refuse. But her late husband’s best friend is determined not to let her give up that easily.

Clay Andrews wants nothing more from life than to run his family’s horse ranch. But duty binds him to watch over his friend’s widow, whether she likes it or not. And he’s not about to let her run away when things start to get tough.

Emma’s independent spirit and her fear of the secrets of her past being discovered make it hard for her to accept help. Clay’s sense of responsibility and guilt make it hard for him to leave her alone. Will either of them be able to lay aside their stubbornness long enough to find some common ground—and maybe even a fresh start and a chance at love?

Mind Connectivity – Return of the Mind

Leave a Comment

About Mind Connectivity – Return of the Mind

“The only knowledge that can make us see the reality and all the existing kinds of knowledge in a new transparent light, is the knowledge of the human mind structure and the way how it connects us to reality.”
In the “Age of Connectivity” there should be no losers, but only winners. For this to happen, we need to make the “Age of Connectivity” to be mostly about upgrading our individual mind structure and improving its connectivity level, and less about artificial connectivity and artificial intelligence development. Although the last two bring economic advantages, their over-development will inevitably create a lot of losers, and more than that, there is a high risk that we would all become losers by losing completely the control of our lives, in favour of artificial intelligence. MIND CONNECTIVITY it is a new concept that presents a new vision over the human mind structure, intended to restore the balance between the human mind’s development and artificial technology development in favor of human mind’s development. It is not too late to return our full attention towards our individual mind structure, and to acknowledge that, upgrading this “magnificent software” that we naturally possess, it is the only viable way that can upgrade humankind’s destiny.

Neither King Nor Country

About Neither King Nor Country

It’s the greatest secret in American History.
So powerful it could topple Mount Rushmore itself.
And someone has found it!

Rob Callahan was a man who wore many hats; Father, teacher, hockey player, husband and friend. He lived his life in a delicate balance and he lived it to the fullest.
His teammate Lindsey loved being just one of the guys. She had played hockey all her life and never let anyone stop her from following her passion.

“I have recently gathered in my possession, various documents and letters from my father concerning our Treaty with the British…”

Rob and Lindsey had no idea what those words meant or what they had to do with Benjamin Franklin and his bastard son but they knew it was something terribly important.

So despised he was erased from history…

There was no time for any of this. Rob’s marriage was falling apart, his boys were taking different sides in a family civil war and the only thing keeping him sane- his beer league hockey team was about to fall apart if he and Lindsey made the wrong move.

It was a secret that could tear America apart, perhaps buried by the Founding Fathers themselves.

But where did their loyalties lie? Should they honor Rob’s grandmother and follow this crazy historical trail? Should they just ignore the secrets and each other to keep Rob’s family together? Or should they follow their heart, their passion and just let the chips fall where they may? How could they resist? How could they ignore one of the greatest secrets in America, a secret buried for more than two hundred years?
