Yoga Mind: Journey Beyond the Physical: 30 Days to Revolutionize Your Practice from the Inside Out (Scribner)

In Yoga Mind: Journey Beyond the Physical, Suzan Colón, former senior editor of O, The Oprah Magazine and certified yoga teacher, distills yoga’s spiritual philosophy into 30 essential components to bring balance and peace into each day, one breath at a time.

The word “yoga” usually conjures images of athletic poses, but when a friend had a diving accident that left him paralyzed, Suzan learned the true meaning of yoga: union with life as it is, with hope for what we can do, and with our true selves. Suzan outlines how we can use the simple spiritual tools of Yoga philosophy to cultivate resilience in challenging times, reduce stress, and enrich our relationships with family, work, and ourselves.

Yoga Mind is a 30-day program designed to create subtle yet powerful shifts in awareness and attitude that lead to real, lasting change.

Cherries in Winter: My Family’s Recipe for Hope in Hard Times (Random House)

“Perfectly in sync with today’s tough times.”–People Magazine

When Suzan Colón was laid off from her dream job, she needed to cut her budget way back, and that meant home cooking. When her mother suggested looking in her Nana’s recipe folder, Suzan realized she had more than just a collection of recipes; she’d found the key to her family’s survival through hard times.

Suzan began re-creating Matilda’s “sturdy food” recipes for baked pork chops and beef stew, and Aunt Nettie’s clam chowder made with clams dug up by Suzan’s grandfather Charlie. While making the recipes with her mother, Suzan began uncovering the stories of her resilient family’s past. Taking inspiration from her stylish, indomitable grandmother Matilda, the sole support of her family as a teenager during the Great Depression, and from dashing, twice-widowed Charlie, Suzan starts to approach her own crisis with a sense of wonder and gratitude. It turns out that the way to survive and thrive through hard times had been bred in her bones all along.

Cherries in Winter makes you want to cook, it makes you want to know your own family’s stories, and, above all, it makes you feel rich no matter what. Includes recipes. Available in hardcover, paperback (with bonus chapters and recipes), ebook, and audiobook.

Love means trusting, hoping, sharing—and realizing that life is as beautiful, and fragile, as beach glass.
