The Manipulator
I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me.
I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh.
But my words don’t affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave.
He’s always there, watching and waiting.
And I can never look away.
Not when I want him to come closer.

The Shadow
I didn’t mean to fall in love.
But now that I have, I can’t stay away.
I’m mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves.
The way she undresses…
I’ll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine.
And once she is, I’ll never let her go.
Not even when she begs me to.

Living in Baneberry Hall was an experience unlike any other. For Maggie Holt, it was a constant barrage of questions about her family’s three-week stay in the rambling Victorian estate nestled in the Vermont woods. Her parents, Ewan and Jess, had moved there when she was just a child, only to flee in the dead of night, leaving behind a legacy of terror and fear.

People from the past, who were once chronicled in her father’s book, still lurk in the shadows. And the locals are not happy about their small town’s newfound infamy. But what’s even more unsettling is the house itself. Filled with relics from another era, it exudes a dark and sinister energy, hinting at a history of unspeakable deeds. As strange occurrences start to happen, straight out of her father’s book, Maggie begins to question whether there is more truth to his words than she ever thought possible.

How to Be an Adult in Relationships explores five hallmarks of mindful loving and how they play a key role in our relationships throughout life:
   1. Attention to the present moment; observing, listening, and noticing all the feelings at play in our relationships.
   2. Acceptance of ourselves and others just as we are.
   3. Appreciation of all our gifts, our limits, our longings, and our poignant human predicament.
   4. Affection shown through holding and touching in respectful ways.
   5. Allowing life and love to be just as they are, with all their ecstasy and ache, without trying to take control.
When deeply understood and applied, these five simple concepts—what Richo calls the five A’s—form the basis of mature love. They help us to move away from judgment, fear, and blame to a position of openness, compassion, and realism about life and relationships. By giving and receiving these five A’s, relationships become deeper and more meaningful, and they become a ground for personal transformation.
