  Today, Franki Bagdade, author of the award-winning book, I Love My Kids, But I Don't Always Like Them , shares with us her post about celebrating pride month from her substacked blog: I'm often asked about gender nonconformity. They ask me because I’m a teacher and a social worker. They come to me because of my work with nontypical kids and teens for over 20 years. They come to me because they trust me to be nonjudgmental of those trying to learn. Then they guiltily admit that they want to be inclusive yet they just don't get it. They practically beg me to help them understand why, why someone would identify with a different gender than the one assigned at birth to them. What I tell them is this: Click HERE to find out what she tells them.

  Excerpt from Entienda el desafío del -NO- en los niños con autismo (McNeil) Capítulo 1- Introducción   No, Una pequeña palabra Escuchada tan seguido Pero ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué te hace llorar?   Le invito a un viaje en el que se desplegarán capas de concientización, iluminando la manera de cómo un vocabulario cuidadosamente escogido puede mejorar de gran manera su relación con un niño autista. Entienda el desafío del -NO- en los niños con autism: mejore la comunicación, aumente la positividad, favorezca las relaciones se enfoca solamente en el uso de esta pequeña palabra. Sin embargo, ilustra las implicaciones de gran alcance que esa palabra puede tener al determinar la esencia de nuestras interacciones diarias con niños autistas.   Corey Mientras ríe fuertemente casi pierde su equilibrio, de puntitas, saltando con un pie a la vez, agitando sus brazos en el viento, Corey de tres años celebra con alegría mientras mira a Alice acercarse.   ¡Oh- oh! Corey cree que e...

  It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today's topic addresses a topic that comes into my in-box on a regular basis, at least once or twice a week: a self-published author (either thought self-publication would provide more control and money or was unable to land a traditional contract) does not like the self-publication results and would like a re-do, i.e. start over again with a traditional publisher/contract. To cut to the chase, this is the content of the typical response I send to these queries: Thank you for your submission. We have a policy of not re-publishing previously        published books, so your book would not be of interest to us....

  Excerpt from El Poder de lo Transpersonal (Ustman) - Preface by Raul Pacheco De la Magia, El Poder y lo Transpersonal Por: Raúl Pacheco Cuando mi amigo Nelson Fernando me pidió escribir unas palabras sobre lo que para mí significa “transpersonal”, evoqué inmediatamente mi primer contacto con esta distinción, hace algunos años recién terminando de estudiar Coaching Ontológico, ávido de nuevos conocimientos y con una insaciable necesidad de ir “más allá”. En ese momento se me apareció de la mano de Daniel Taroppio, el término “Psicología Transpersonal”, como una invitación a recorrer precisamente el mundo que iba “más allá” de lo personal, y que abordaba territorios hasta ese momento reservados a parapsicólogos, curas, maestros espirituales, chamanes, filósofos, o quizás psíquicos o personajes alternativos de la nueva era. En mi primera aproximación me quedó claro que precisamente la intención del término, era legitimar desde la mirada científica (la única respetable para el mundo...
