Everyone knows that saving for your retirement is important. Yet only half of all eligible Americans contribute to a retirement plan.

Edelman has created a step-by-step guide. With illuminating prose and simple explanations, he shares everything you need to know as a plan participant: how to contribute even when you think you can’t afford to, how to make wise choices among your investment options, and how to convert your 401(k) into income so you can provide yourself with the lifestyle you want in retirement. Along the way, he debunks the myths and clears up the confusion.

PUBLIC EDUCATION IS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE CONSTITUTION. WHY? BECAUSE OUR FOUNDERS KNEW THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS–NOT THE FEDERAL ONE.
It’s not a coincidence that the more the federal government has inserted itself into public education over the years, the worse our kids have fared. Washington dangles millions of dollars in front of states and then tells them what they have to do to get it. It’s backdoor nationalization of education–and it’s leading us to ruin.
In Conform, Glenn Beck presents a well-reasoned, fact-based analysis that proves it’s not more money our schools need–it’s a complete refocusing of their priorities and a total restructuring of their relationship with the federal government. In the process, he dismantles many of the common myths and talking points that are often heard by those who want to protect the status quo.
Critics of the current system are just “TEACHER BASHERS”…Teachers’ unions put KIDS FIRST…Homeschooled kids SUFFER both ACADEMICALLY and SOCIALLY…”LOCAL CONTROL” is an excuse to protect MEDIOCRITY…COMMON CORE is “RIGOROUS”and “STATE LED”…Critics of Common Core are just CONSPIRACY THEORISTS…Elementary school teachers need TENURE…We CAN’T REFORM schools until weERADICATE POVERTY…SCHOOL CHOICE takes money away from PUBLIC SCHOOLS…CHARTER SCHOOLS perform poorly relative to public schools.
There is no issue more important to America’s future than education. The fact that we’ve yielded control over it to powerful unions and ideologically driven elitists is inexcusable. We are failing ourselves, our children, and our country. Conform gives parents the facts they need to take back the debate and help usher in a new era of education built around the commonsense principles of choice, freedom, and accountability.

The Blue, Blue Sky is a collection of stories written for children, but also carefully crafted by author Diana Donald – a psychotherapist, devoted mother, and grandmother – to speak to the five-year-old within all readers, young or old. Here is Diana’s powerful and emotional description of the book:
The theme in these simple stories is pure love … the kind that gives meaning to our lives on the inside … on the inside where the center of our world resides.
These stories have a compelling need to let children know they are filled with their own innate wisdom, tucked deep inside. They touch that still small voice, that we hear so often to remind us we are never alone. These stories also give us a glimpse into the depth of our imagination which takes us to wherever we want to be, Imagination sees needs being met so that no one or no place can ever be too far away. Imagination opens our hearts so that we can look with love.
Our still small voice … our angel within … comes in any form we’ll accept and speaks to us in many ways … colors, sounds and feelings. Any presence that gives us a feeling of love is our angel inside. It could be the wind rustling in the trees in the middle of the night, a bell pealing in the distance, the breeze through your hair or that flower that speaks only to you. If you look the right way you’ll see them everywhere, they don t always have wings. They give you the confidence to be as important as you truly are.
These little stories are asking you to understand that the sense of belonging has nothing to do with other people. It s all about how unique and singular we truly are and what we carry around within.
