Words That Heal : Affirmations and Meditations for Daily Living

Words That Heal is a book of spiritual guidance that is designed to: * Help you to use the creative power of thought to shape your own reality.
* Provide you with daily inspiration that will raise your spirits and enhance the quality of your life.
* Get you in touch with your inner knowing. For many centuries, humanity depended upon institutions and doctrines to lead it to the experience of our God-consciousness. As we approach the dawn of a new age, we are learning to rely upon our own intuition to experience the divinity within.

The heart of Words That Heal consists of a series of 52 passages or “teachings,” each of which contains three parts:

1) A Meditationa short passage that offers thoughts and reflections about a specific subject or life experience. Each meditation will speak to you in its own way, providing support, comfort, insight, and understanding.

2) A series of Affirmationspositive thoughts and ideas that when repeated will help you to transform your negative beliefs and attitudes. For those readers not familiar with affirmations, the text begins with an overview of what affirmations are and how to use them.

3) A Quotation that encapsulates the essence of the teaching.

While it is possible to read the passages straight through as you would a novel, think of the book as a collection of individual stories, each of which tells its own tale and can be approached one at a time.

Refer to Words That Heal as you would any other inspirational work. You can consult with it on a regular basis or periodically, whenever you feel the need to go within and access your “secret place of the most high.”

We are on a journeya journey of change and transformation. Everything you need to know lies within you. May the content of this book lead you to your inner guidance and make your path a smoother and more joyful one.

May they be words that heal.

The Filmmaker Says: Quotes, Quips, and Words of Wisdom

“No saint, no pope, no general, no sultan, has ever had the power that a filmmaker has—the power to talk to hundreds of millions of people for two hours in the dark.” —Frank Capra

Inspiring everything from pop culture earthquakes to popular revolutions, filmmakers have demonstrated an uncanny ability to move the masses. But the drama they project on screen is only half the picture. Stretching back from its earliest days of two-reel silent films to the latest 3-D digital blockbusters, film history provides a cast of characters ready to spill witty bon mots, outrageous pronouncements, and heartfelt reflections. The Filmmaker Says is a colorful compendium of quotations from more than one hundred of history’s most influential and opinionated creators of filmed entertainment. Paired like guests at the ultimate filmgeek dinner party—a celebrated filmmaker of today might sit next to a giant from the silent era—the members of this raucous crew puts on a show arguing, complimenting, and disagreeing with each other about every step of the moviemaking process. A perfect gift for working filmmakers, aspiring auteurs, and avid moviegoers, The Filmmaker Says will delight anyone who has dreamed of yelling “action” or just can’t wait for the lights to go down and the curtain to go up.

Quotes Illustrated: 100 works of art inspired by words

QUOTES ILLUSTRATED by Lesley Riley is a timeless source of inspiration and motivation. Through the diverse and eclectic work of over 90 artists, familiar and some not-yet-discovered quotes are brought to life.

It’s an eye-opening experience to see how these talented artists interpret modern and age-old wisdom. To quote Georgia O’Keefe, “Art is not what you see,
 but what you make others see.” And therein lies the magic of this book – it expands your awareness, so that you see, not only with new eyes, but come to understand how art can illustrate and illuminate more than words alone can express.

100 quotes were carefully chosen by Lesley to create a positive book that moves the reader to take action on their dreams. If the quotes alone don’t do the trick, the artwork certainly will. Artists were free to interpret their quote in their own way, with their medium of choice.

The book includes wonderful examples of digital art, art quilts, fiber art, mixed media, collage, assemblage and paintings. There is something to delight all tastes. Artists in particular will find this compendium a source of ideas and techniques for their own art. While it’s not a how-to book, information on materials and techniques used are provided for each artwork.

STELLAR REVIEWS for QUOTES ILLUSTRATED

“Thought-provoking. Challenging. Beautiful. Inspiring. A book that combines two of my favorite things—quotations and art—is a sure winner, but this one goes beyond being simply a wonderful book. It will be a timeless source of dreams, a book whose pages demand to be studied over and over to see the artistry, details, imagination, and the sumptuous color. Each page is an adventure for the mind and the eye…and the heart.”
– Karey Bresenhan, Founder International Quilt Market & Festival


“Artists who are the most inspired and the most creative are those who share all that they know with everyone they know. That is what Lesley does always, but especially in her new publication: Quotes Illustrated. On these pages you will find the art and the inspiration to heal, to motivate, to continue, to change direction, to transform, to validate, and to encourage. It is a must for every one on every given day.”
– Jo Packham, creator, editor-in-chief of Where Women Create, Where Women Cook, Where Women Create Business

“Who better to curate a book pairing art and quotations than Lesley Riley? The artists’ interpretations of their assigned quotes offer fresh perspective on even the most familiar adages. On each page I discovered a favorite artist and message – and then the next page offered a new favorite. What a treasury!”
– Cate Coulacos Prato, editor, Cloth Paper Scissors Today Online Community

“Wow – Lesley has created a delightful book of art and wisdom that is a feast for the eyes and warms the soul. With her artistic flair and love of language, Lesley has put together a book which will become a classic, as well as a cherished keepsake, to be passed down from artists, art lovers, and other creatives to their children, colleagues and friends. It is a gift for the creative spirit, potent with an abundance of inspirations to reflect on today and for years to come.”
– Gail McMeekin, best-selling author of The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women and The 12 Secrets of Highly Successful Women


“With a diverse and eclectic mix of artists and styles, Lesley’s book is loaded with inspiration for artists and creatives. No matter what your favorite style of mixed media art is, your creative wheels will be turning!”
