Heart of Gold With Silver Flames

 

Heart of Gold

With Silver Flames

by Cheryl Knoll

Where love becomes light and the soul finally remembers itself.

Some books don’t just get read—they awaken something in you. Cheryl Knoll’s

Heart of Gold is one of those rare works that slips quietly into the soul, inviting

readers into a world where love feels destined and soul-deep. From the opening

vision of two hearts bound by “silver flames, ” Knoll explores connection that

transcends time and flesh, reflected through pieces like “Does He See Me?” and 

“Same Soul, ” where longing, recognition, and the pull of destiny shimmer between

every line.

Knoll moves effortlessly between the sacred and the sensual, crafting poems

where breath becomes prayer and closeness becomes communion. In works

such as “His Breath, My Life, ”“Warmest Love,” and “Soul Living,” she reveals intimacy that feels both earthly and divine. This spiritual thread continues through

moments of stillness and nature, inviting readers to discover quiet revelations

within poems like “Sitting With God” and “Where He Is.”

A radiant collection of spiritual and romantic verse that beautifully unites divine

love and human connection with poetic grace.

-MainSpring Books

At its heart, this collection is also a tribute to resilience. Through pieces like “She is

A Queen,”“Finding Me,” and “My Epiphany,” Knoll honors the strength of a woman

who rises, reclaims, and remembers her own worth. These poems whisper to

every reader that healing, self-love, and inner rebirth are not only possible—they

are powerful.

Follow the quiet glow—something in these pages is waiting to recognize you.

Thoughts on my Thoughts VI: The TALES That Wagged This Veterinarian

   

Thoughts on my Thoughts VI:

The TALES That Wagged This Veterinarian

Author: Dr. Walter R. Hoge

A Philosophical Adventure Through the Heart of Modern Faith, Doubt, and Self-Discovery

What happens when a single idea refuses to stay small?

In Thoughts on My Thoughts VI, Dr. Walter R. Hoge once again invites readers into his introspective world—a place where questions are not meant to be answered quickly, but wrestled with, revisited, and refracted through experience. This sixth installment in his reflective series is a masterclass in mental excavation, where the simplest observations spiral into profound meditations on politics, morality, God, the nature of belief, and the paradoxes of our modern world.

Through a sharp and unflinching lens, Dr. Hoge contemplates everything from media bias and scientific hypocrisy to divine silence and personal authenticity. His writing—unfiltered, unapologetic, and fiercely intelligent—is not for the passive reader. It’s for the curious, the restless, the seekers who crave dialogue with someone unafraid to challenge cultural dogmas or question sacred institutions.

Provocative, fearless, and fiercely introspective—Thoughts on My Thoughts VI challenges you to rethink everything. – MainSpring Books

But underneath the philosophical rigor and social critique, there’s an unmistakable heartbeat: the voice of a man who still dares to hope. A man who, despite life’s noise and injustice, still believes in asking: What is truly good? What is truly true?

This is not just a book of essays. It’s a confrontation. It’s a mirror. It’s a friend whispering, “You’re not alone in wondering.”

Flowers from Ashes

In the unforgiving shadow of Victorian England, a young girl's spirit is the only light that remains. New Years Eve 1899. While London celebrates the turn of the century, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzie" Banfield unknowingly spends her last night with her family as a whole. On the first dawn of 1900, Lizzie's world has shattered: her mother is dead, and the siblings she promised to protect are at the mercy of their estranged, wealthy, Great Aunt Martha. Deemed ruined by her mother's poverty and desperation, Lizzie is torn away from her brother and sister. She is exiled to Milbourne Manor, a grim reformatory in the windswept north, designed to break the spirits of "wayward" girls. Under the iron rule of the cruel Matilda Smith, Lizzie is stripped of her name and dignity, forced to scrub floors until her hands bleed, and is told she is destined for the same gutter as her mother. But amidst the cruelty of the Manor, Lizzie discovers she is not alone. She finds an unexpected ally in Clara, the matron's compassionate younger sister, and forms a deep protective bond with Nellie, a fellow outcast whose silence hides a devastating secret. from dark cellars of punishment to the heartbreak of tragic loss, Lizzie must cling to a single, dangerous hope that one day she will escape, defy the fate written for her, and find her way back to the family she loves. Flowers from Ashes is a heart-wrenching yet triumphant tale of sisterhood, resilience, and the enduring power of love to bloom in the darkest places.

 🔥Turn Up the Heat and the Heart with Sexy Challenges 33 Adventures🔥

Let’s be honest—keeping the flame alive in a relationship isn’t always as effortless as the movies make it look. One day you’re locked in a passionate embrace in the kitchen, and the next, you’re arguing over who left wet towels on the bed (again). Life happens. Romance sometimes… doesn’t.

Upgrade You:

Simple Changes, Powerful Energy,

Infinite Potential

Upgrade You This New Year: Why THIS Is the Book You Need to Become Your Best Self (Without Losing Your Mind)

The New Year is here — that magical time when we all suddenly decide we’re going to be better humans. We buy fresh planners, new pens, overpriced water bottles, and tell ourselves things like:

“I will wake up at 5 AM.”
“I’m giving up sugar, dairy, bread, Netflix, and negativity.”
“I’m going to meditate for 45 minutes every morning.”

And by January 14th?
We’re eating cereal in bed, scrolling TikTok, and wondering why self-improvement feels like boot camp for the emotionally exhausted.

But what if upgrading yourself didn’t mean suffering, sacrificing joy, or becoming some robotic version of perfection?

Enter Upgrade You: Simple Changes, Powerful Energy, Infinite Potential — the self-improvement book that actuallygets it.

---

Why “Upgrade You” Is the New Year Book You Didn’t Know You Needed

Unlike those intense, guilt-inducing “fix your whole life by 5 PM” manuals, Upgrade You shows you how to become your best self through small shifts, big laughs, and actual real-life changes you can stick to.

No gurus.
No pressure.
No shame for choosing tacos over treadmill time.
Just honest, funny, practical wisdom from Dr. Rob Alex.

Inside the pages, you’ll learn how to:

✔ Make simple adjustments that elevate every part of your life
✔ Upgrade your energy without burning out
✔ Add metaphysical magic to everyday actions
✔ Build confidence and self-worth that last
✔ Stop chasing perfection and start celebrating progress
✔ Laugh at your mistakes instead of crying into cheesecake
✔ Create a life you love, without needing a yoga mat made of unicorn fur

This book isn’t here to “fix” you — you’re not broken.
It’s here to help you upgrade you… with humor, heart, and a whole lot of freedom.

New Year, New Energy: Why NOW Is the Perfect Time to Upgrade

January isn’t just a month — it’s a vibe.
It’s a metaphysical reset button wrapped in sparkly energy and fresh-start momentum.

You’re already thinking about changes.
You’re already imagining a better version of yourself.
And “Upgrade You” shows you EXACTLY how to do it without the burnout, shame, or 42-step morning routines that require a small team of assistants.

This New Year, don’t promise yourself you’ll be perfect — promise yourself you’ll be better, a little at a time.

That’s where the magic happens.
That’s where YOUR infinite potential wakes up.

---

Realness. Humor. Humanity. And metaphysical goodness.
