Love me : one woman's search for a different happy ever after / by Power, Marianne,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Can you be happy without long-term romantic love at the centre of your life? Society still sets the gold standard for successful living as being married with children. As Marianne Power turns forty, she wonders why this is still so elusive for her, and whether in fact this is even what she wants, or just what she feels she should want. At first she tries to lean into the alternatives -- self-love, self-marriage, sisterhood -- but is she simply avoiding confronting her fears about commitment, relationships and sex? Determined to find out for sure, the indomitable Marianne sets off on a journey to answer the question: can you have a life full of love without marriage and kids? From tantra to Skype sex, polyamory to sologamy, Marianne's quest takes her to hilarious, scary and moving places -- and she discovers that maybe, in these chaotic times, loving thy neighbour is more important than achieving a romantic ideal. Honest, intimate and inspiring, Love Me is about the freedom to envision the life you want, and the courage to choose it"--

Wintering : the power of rest and retreat in difficult times / by May, Katherine,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."An intimate, revelatory book exploring the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down. Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a break up, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing Arctic seas. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season"--
