Tales2Inspire ~ The Diamond Collection - Series I Kindle Edition

5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 5 ratings

EXPANDED AND REVISED: The Diamond Collection Series I contains all of the stories from two of Tales2Inspire's most popular gift books, the Emerald and the Topaz Collections, a double header that combines two book under one cover. Each of these stories was a winner in a Tales2Inspire annual, international contest. Now you can get all of the stories from these two books in this one collection an save with this two-books-in-one collection. The Emerald, the gemstone symbolizing intuitive awareness and self-knowledge, was a perfect fit for the original Tales2Inspire ~ The Emerald Collection, a book subtitled 'Beyond Coincidence'. These are the stories that often make even the most skeptical among us question: “Could there be an unknown force, a stronger power taking charge?” A girl learns that her childhood heroine is actually her biological sister. They meet and discover that their handwriting, talents and interests are exactly the same. A runaway dog sits in a garden miles from home, too frightened to move. Its frantic owner stops a total stranger, who turns out to be the one person who can lead her to her dog. These and more Beyond Coincidence award-winning stories will make you wonder if we are really as free as we think we are, or if there unknown forces guiding our lives. Although each of these stories is a true account, don’t be surprised if you find yourself gasping “unbelievable” as you finish reading some, or simply getting a feel good rush from others. The second set of stories come from Tales2Inspire ~ The Topaz Collection, a book subtitled Personal Awakenings. Moments such as these happen every day, but the most powerful ones are those that suddenly bring us clarity of vision, fresh new perspectives, possibly even revelations on how to lead more meaningful lives. A mama cow unexpectedly dies seconds before giving birth to her newborn calf. A city gal fearfully helps bring this calf into the world. She raises him to a 2000 pound bull with the pride of a mother toward her growing child, while discovering the sanity of all life.. A skilled psychologist teaches a quadriplegic little boy how to use mental imagery to 'touch and feel' things that are physically impossible for him to do. With his newly acquired skills, he grows up to lead a fuller life, becoming a role model for others. These and more award-winning stories share unexpected Awakenings moments to inspire us all. The Topaz, the gemstone symbolizing self-realization, truth and forgiveness is a perfect match for stories such as these. Some might even awaken you to some fresh new ideas to embrace into your life. NOTE: As an added bonus, the photos in this Kindle edition appear in full color on all e-readers that support color images.

About the Author

My first two books focused on physical beauty: SEX, LIES AND COSMETIC SURGERY (with sound advice and personal emotional undercurrents to cosmetic surgery) and TICK TOCK, STOP THE CLOCK GETTING PRETTY ON YOUR LUNCH HOUR (with chapters written by eleven nationally renowned experts and outstanding practitioners, detailing many of the most current minimally invasive beauty procedures). And then my writing career took a seemingly sharp turn as I began to focus on inspiring stories, stories to touch the heart and soul. But in truth this was not a new interest for me as I always had a special appreciation for feel-good stories that reach the inner spirit, inspire, motivate, make us question. I started to develop this idea further as I initiated a TALES2INSPIRE(TM) "Authors Helping Authors" project/contest, and with contributing stories from other talented writers, have begun a series of inspiring story anthologies. The first four of these little jewel books, each has a different theme: The Emerald: "Beyond Coincidence" stories, The Topaz: "Awakenings & Ah-ha Moments", The Sapphire: Collection, stories that "Echo In the Mind" and the Ruby: Gifts of Compassion. Each book is enhanced by the inclusion of original photos and drawings. I funnel the postings from my two blogs - one on aesthetics and physical beauty and the other on Inner Beauty inspirational stories - through my Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/tales2inspire. It will be my pleasure to welcome you there! Truly, I appreciate every LIKE. I have spent many days at the LTV Cable Network studio - th first of which included a morning session to be televised for my first appearance on the WRTERS DREAM SHOW, devoted to my beauty books. So if physical beauty is your passion, you can watch that interview at: http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGucsotJXu8 In the afternoon, I was televised for a second session to share my second passion, my love of inspiring stories, (or what I call Inner Beauty stories) and explain more about this Tales2Inspire project. You can watch that interview at http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqKwY-Nj7qo If you think you might be interested in participating in Tales2Inspire(TM), do visit www.tales2inspire.com and click on CONTEST" for details. There are no entry fees and winning authors do receive an incredible number of platform building opportunities. And isn't that what all talented authors are seeking? DISCOVERY!

    What inspiring stories, and we know each is true, as original photos are included with each story to prove their authenticity. Some of the 'Beyond Coincidence' stories in part 1 are so amazing, they are hard to believe! The 'Personal Awakenings' stories in part 2 are delightful and so charming. This book won a NIEA (National Indie Excellence Award), proof positive that it was admired by multitudes!'

    Every story chosen by Editor/Publisher Lois W. Stern for each of her wonderfully compelling “Tales2Inspire” collections is an extraordinary commentary on the true essence of our humanity. Story after story lifts the veil of strife afflicting our society today, revealing that ever-present undercurrent of caring we so easily forget is waiting to be released. Lois has done just that with her truly remarkable and lovingly assembled series. Read one and you’ll want to enjoy them all!

    Like Chicken Soup for the Soul, these stories are about “everyday” miracles and special coincidences that reveal not everything can be explained. Prepared to be amazed and convinced these stories were really experienced by the authors. Unforgettable!
