Estudió Derecho en la universidad, pero su vocación natural y su aptitud para el dibujo y la pintura la llevaron finalmente a abandonar las aulas para adentrarse en el mundo del arte. Sus obras muestran claramente la influencia de los años de experimentacion de la artista, que van desde el postimpresionismo de Cezanne hasta las tecnicas del abstraccionismo puro, con preferencia por los grandes formatos y el uso de una amplia gama de materiales. La artista trabaja con materiales naturales como hojas, arena, arpillera o papel. Todas sus obras se caracterizan por una gran originalidad y lirismo. Sus creaciones tambien incluyen una serie de obras figurativas, como paisajes marinos o retratos, en las que presenta una armoniosa combinacion de pinceladas sinuosas

At school, survival wasnt just about fitting init was about making it through the day with his dignity intact. The first time they shoved Garys head into the toilet bowl, he questioned how much more he could take. By the time they drew a swastika on his forehead, he stopped wondering.In the backdrop of 1970s England, Gary navigates the chaotic seas of adolescence in the English coastal town of Hove. With humour and a delicious sense of naivety, he steers through a life marked by a blend of love and dysfunction, anchored by his loving and quirky mother and his deeply cherished father. But beyond the warmth of home, school is a much darker and crueller reality. At Knoll Boys, Gary confronts relentless and vicious bullying that pushes his spirit and resilience to the brink. The horrors he endures are not just physicalthey are ritualistic and dehumanizing, the cruelty seemingly unending. Yet, Garys resilience shines through, a testament to the human spirits capacity to endure.

A stunning and emotional new novel from the author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. When he is eight years old, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at everything. He can undo any moment and live it again. The one catch: he must accept the consequences of his second try - for better or worse. He grows up correcting his mistakes and saving himself from adolescent embarrassments. He even takes foolishly dangerous risks, just to see what it''s like to come close to death, before tapping back to safety. Eventually, Alfie turns his gift to his love life, studying his crushes and going back to make himself more appealing. In time, he falls deeply in love with Gianna, the woman he believes is the one. He seems to find contentment. But as the years pass, Alfie''s eye begins to wander. Which is when he learns a lone caveat to his power: once he undoes a love, that person can never fall in love with him again. Knowing if he gives into to temptation, he will risk losing what he has with Gianna, Alfie makes a choice that changes his life forever. The book begins many years later, after an ailing Alfie is arrested for allegedly cheating and winning millions at a casino roulette wheel. As a curious detective interrogates him, he slowly uncovers Alfie''s incredible story, and its most unlikely conclusion. In Twice, America''s favourite storyteller, Mitch Albom, is at the top of his powers. A love story that is enchanting, probing, and clairvoyant in matters of the heart, Twice will make you think, weep, and overflow with love from beginning to end.

Él está destinado a salvarla. Ella será su perdición. Liv siempre se ha sentido atraida por la mitología nórdica. Tras haberse graduado recibe de forma inesperada una oferta del trabajo de sus sueños en Noruega. Liv enseguida se da cuenta de que en el pequeño pueblo de Vonn al que ha ido a parar nada es lo que parece. Ademas, su nuevo jefe, Tristan, es muy antipatico con ella (y terriblemente irresistible), y una de las condiciones del trabajo consiste en vivir con el en su mansion, donde la tension entre ellos es inevitable. Pero pronto se da cuenta de que el esconde mucho mas de lo que ella cree, y podria suponer un peligro incluso para su propia vida.

¿Te gustaría mejorar el autodiálogo? ¿Buscas mantener una respiración equilibrada a pesar del estrés y las tensiones? ¿Te interesa comprender y apoyar la diversidad desde el mindfulness? El prejuicio, el temor al rechazo, la propia fobia interiorizada o la necesidad de ocultarse socialmente son variables que generan una tension extra en personas con orientacion, identidad y/o genero no-normativo, tal y como recoge el psiquiatra Ilan H. Meyer en su modelo de estres de minorias. La forma en que cada persona encara ese sobreestres dependera de su estilo de afrontamiento, influido por los factores personales, la habilidad en la gestion emocional, las experiencias previas y por, nuevamente, la naturaleza de los estresores de cada situacion.
