Starlink Extra
|
Dear
As you know, Starlink is a bi-monthly publication, comprising a downloadable pdf file as well as an htm email containing several resources.
There have been occasions when an item is sent in by a reader but can't be kept until the next issue of Starlink is due, because the deadline would be over. (For example, the forum below: Strictly Confidential.)
So we've decided to produce this additional publication - Starlink Extra - for each of the months in between distribution of Starlink itself.
We hope the additional resources will prove useful for you!
Cheers
Sue & Chris

Stories for Happiness
|
Stories for Happiness Books One and Two are compilations of fables based on Noetic (meaning, purpose, values, emotionally intelligent behaviour) principles.
The stories are written by Dr. Leigh Kibby who has been described as "Australia's Hans Christian Anderson."
The stories are fun for all ages and especially useful for teachers and for psychotherapeutic work that examines life patterns and archetypes.

The Last Word
|
|
Children have more need of models than of critics. (Carolyn Coats, Author)
Live your life so your children can tell their children that you not only stood for something wonderful - you acted on it. (Dan Zadra, C.E.O. Compendium, Inc.)
Of course we need children! Adults need children in their lives to listen to and care for, to keep their imagination fresh and their hearts young and to make the future a reality for which they are willing to work. (Margaret Mead)
