Hartford, CT, May 18, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “The Choice is Yours” by Stef Ziev from Publish Your Purpose will launch May 24, 2023.
We all make decisions, big and small, every single day. But how often do we operate on autopilot, feel we “have to” or “should do” something, or tell ourselves we “don’t have a choice”? Why do we limit ourselves and relinquish our power to something or someone else?
In this revolutionary book, expert coach Stef Ziev explores the reasons we hold ourselves back and resist giving ourselves permission to make choices. With humor and grace, she shows us how to embrace personal responsibility, empower ourselves to take ownership of our thoughts and actions, and let go of negative beliefs that weigh us down. Living with true intention and vision puts us in charge of our lives, one choice at a time. It’s the key to a rewarding life and career.
Ziev offers a straightforward and inspiring guide to help us identify our triggers, release conflicting intentions, and discover our purpose. She reminds us that whatever challenges we face, we all have the inner authority to choose our responses. Our deliberate, thoughtful actions are the antidote to fear and resistance and the more intention we bring to the choices we make, the more power we have over the results we create. Isn’t it time to take a stand and choose to live with more joy, peace, and fulfillment?

In “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!”, readers are introduced to a period, an exclamation point, and a question mark who all long for a change of pace and decide to switch places one day.

Published by Hawes & Jenkins Publishing, Denise A. Powis’s engaging tale will delight readers of all ages as they discover the importance of accepting one’s self and being true to who they really are. With colorful artwork and a powerful life lesson, “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!” will help boost confidence amongst young readers, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page.

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
