Life, It's a Beautiful Thing
Life, It's a Beautiful Thing
"Life, it's a Beautiful Thing" is Laura Schaufel's technique of spreading the love of God. It is her method of expectantly accomplishing a desired aim. Touching lives spiritually is her intent and purpose, promoting faith, hope, and inspiration. Laura Schaufel is a witness to the power of prayer. She testifies to an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs that happened in 1990, in Folsom, California. This little book is an account of astonishing and noteworthy happenings of an ordinary woman who lives in the knowledge that God has a purpose, a destiny, and a plan for each of us. God has been showing her His plan all of her life through acts and actions that only now does she, to some extent, understand. As she stood in that cold mechanical hospital room listening to her son fight for just one more breath of air, she prayed to God to let him live. Please return him to me for whatever time I may have, here on earth, she asked. But the plans laid out in heaven for that day called for her son to return home to our Father. "Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." (James 4:14 NKJV) In the midst of death's storm is when your faith and the presence of the Lord are most needed to provide the strength to persevere. Look and listen to these true stories of God working in His way. Then see how you can reach the point in prayer where you are at ease with the world and can accept all of God's plans for you as your destiny unfolds.

This Beautiful Life: A Novel
This Beautiful Life: A Novel
O Magazine's Reading Room, August 2011 This Beautiful Life is a powerful exploration of the blurring boundaries of privacy and the fragility of self, a tour de force of modern life that will have listeners debating their assumptions about family, morality, and the sacrifices and choices we make in the name of love. When the Bergamots move from comfortable suburban Ithaca to New York City, they're not sure how well they will adapt--or what to make of the strange new world of the well-to-do Upper West Side. But soon Richard is consumed by his executive role at a large New York university, and Liz, who has traded in her academic career to oversee the lives of their children, is hectically ferrying six-year-old Coco around town. Fifteen-year-old Jake is graciously taken in by a group of friends at Wildwood, an elite private day school. But the upper-class cocoon in which they have enveloped themselves is ripped apart when Jake wakes up one morning after an unchaperoned party and finds an e-mail waiting in his inbox from an eighth-grade admirer. Attached is a sexually explicit video she has made for him. Shocked, stunned, maybe a little proud, scared--a jumble of adolescent emotion--he forwards the video to a friend, who then forwards it to a friend, and the video goes viral. Within hours, it's not only all over the school but all over the city--and all over the Internet. In the aftermath, Jake is suspended from school, Liz's social standing among the Wildwood moms is challenged, and Richard's job is at risk. Good people faced with bad choices, they decide to fight back. But how? Do they use the very weapons wielded against them--the media and the law? And at what moral and professional cost? How they choose to react, individually and at one another's behest, places everything they hold dear in jeopardy; they are completely caught off guard by the ramifications of their actions, not only to their marriage, their daughter, their place in the community, but to Jake--the very one they have set out to protect.

Within hours, it’s gone viral, all over the school, the city, the world. The ensuing scandal threatens to shatter the Bergamots’ sense of security and identity, and, ultimately, their happiness.

A Day in the Life: One Family, the Beautiful People, and the End of the Sixties
A Day in the Life is the story of how the ideal marriage between two young and extraordinarily beautiful members of the English upper class fell apart as the psychedelic dreams of the sixties gave way to the harsh, hard-rock reality of the seventies. A tender, moving, and often harrowing look at the moment in time when the counterculture collided with the international jet set, A Day in the Life captures the spirit of that era and the people who lived through it with unerring accuracy and heartfelt precision.When Tommy Weber and Susan “Puss” Coriat, London’s most beautiful couple, were married in 1964, it was the fitting end to a storybook romance. But the fast cars Tommy loved to race, their celebrity friends, and the huge trust fund Puss had inherited masked a tortured truth—both had suffered through oppressive and neglectful childhoods and were now caught up in a wildly extravagant lifestyle that neither Puss’ inheritance nor Tommy’s increasingly desperate schemes could support. Six years later, Puss found herself wandering around India with her two sons while Tommy, who was now smuggling drugs to survive, lived in London with a stunning young actress. A Day in the Life is also the stirring account of how the couple’s tow sons—one of whom is the well-known actor Jake Weber—somehow managed to survive a childhood that would have destroyed those of lesser spirit.An unbelievable true-life tale that often reads like a novel, A Day in the Life follow the fortunes and misfortunes of one remarkable family while also introducing us to an extensive cast of supporting characters that includes Keith Richards, Anita Pallenberg, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Charlotte Rampling, as well as many of the movers and shakers who helped create the “Swinging London” scene.

The New 10: 40 Days to Creating a Boldly Beautiful Life From the Inside Out
The New 10 is a profound forty day program and part of my personal mission to redefine beauty.

Recognizing and living by the inner beauty that intrinsically exists within us all is not difficult.  With the intention and commitment to live a boldly beautiful life, this book will transform you from the inside out, with ease and grace. This program will teach you many things, including: * How to create beautiful thoughts as well as the value of doing so. * What are ecstatic emotions and how do we maintain them. * How to put the "sexy" back into self-esteem, regardless of your age, size or race. * How having a wealth of well-being can help you to manifest a boldly beautiful life. * Learn to love being physically active. * What a healthy self-image is and how to have it. * How to develop the qualities of courage, inner peace and patience. * The wisdom of listening to your intuition and how to hear its unique voice in all circumstances … and much more!

The Labyrinth
The Labyrinth
A wedding is a beautiful ritual that brings family and friends together to witness the loving couple’s commitment to share life’s journey . . . hopefully forever. The reader is cordially invited to attend the wedding of Laurie Gallagher and Rob Boccio. The ceremony will take place in the chapel of the prestigious Carriage House located in upper Brookville, Long Island. Bride and groom look forward to your attendance. The bride makes her long awaited appearance in a vision of white tulle and lace on the arm of a loving Father and begins her ceremonial walk down the isle to join her handsome groom waiting at the altar. We look around into the faces of those attending the ceremony and notice a tear in many of their eyes. They are tears of happiness for the young couple, who stand before them performing this beautiful drama, so fresh and new; so saturated with love, hope and expectancy of a glorious future. The more mature individual smiles, knowing that the road ahead is not always so smooth and free of challenge. Most of us can relate to a period in life when we felt out of control, unproductive, and/or fearful. Some unseen force had taken charge and was holding us in abeyance. When and if this occurs, our author suggests it is the Labyrinth of Life, an intricate, invisible structure of interconnecting passages through which it is often difficult to find one’s way. There doesn’t seem to be an age preference. Young and old fall victim to the dictates of the Labyrinth. Once entangled within its grips, the confused individual isn’t given clues on how to escape. The best he/she can expect is a new awareness after much soul searching has been done. The challenge for each individual is to define the cause of his problem, make the necessary changes, and move on. In our story, there are several characters who have been seized by the Labyrinth. One of the main protagonists, Cara, is the widowed middle-aged Aunt of the bride. Her life has become stagnated and she longs to escape from its imprisonment. She searches for answers on how she may find the love and happiness she desires. Her pretty twenty-one year old niece identifies with her and fears that her marriage may inhibit her potential and opportunities in life. She projects her need to control her future onto the groom’s Father, Daddy Boccio, accusing him of being a control freak, unaware that he has his own demons to fight. Sometimes ‘fate’ will intervene and offer help to the unhappy individual. This help may manifest in many ways; it may appear as another person, an invitation, a kind thought, word or deed, and most importantly, a new awareness of self.
