Ebenezer Sibly was a quack doctor, plagiarist, and masonic ritualist in late eighteenth-century London; his brother Manoah was a respectable accountant and a pastor who ministered to his congregation without pay for fifty years. The inventor of Dr. Sibly''s Reanimating Solar Tincture, which claimed to restore the newly dead to life, Ebenezer himself died before he turned fifty and stayed that way despite being surrounded by bottles of the stuff. Asked to execute his will, which urged the continued manufacture of Solar Tincture, and left legacies for multiple and concurrent wives as well as an illegitimate son whose name the deceased could not recall, Manoah found his brother''s record of financial and moral indiscretions so upsetting that he immediately resigned his executorship.Ebenezer''s death brought a premature conclusion to a colorfully chaotic life, lived on the fringes of various interwoven esoteric subcultures. Drawing on such sources as ratebooks and pollbooks, personal letters and published sermons, burial registers and horoscopes, Susan Mitchell Sommers has woven together an engaging microhistory that offers useful revisions to scholarly accounts of Ebenezer and Manoah, while placing the entire Sibly family firmly in the esoteric byways of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The Siblys of London provides fascinating insight into the lives of a family who lived just outside our usual historical range of vision.

"An inspiring and well-organized book!"

Read this book and I promise you will learn how to start, sustain, and expand your physical, mental, and emotional self.

Gain inspiration to reach inside yourself and push beyond what you thought was possible.

Build confidence in your ability to change and grow.

Develop new skills to support meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes.

Tap into your strengths, kindness, gifts, and talents.

Shape your life from the inside out and to stay "inner driven".

Walking is a form of exercise that''s available to most people. You don''t need any special equipment other than some supportive walking shoes. And there''s no need for an expensive membership at a fitness centre.

Walking for physical, mental, and emotional health can help reduce your risk of these common health problems:

• heart disease

• obesity

• diabetes

• high blood pressure

• depression

I wrote this book to break down the myths about physical, mental, and spiritual walking, to share the successes and challenges of my lifelong walking journey, to provide strategies and tools to embrace different types of walking at every age and stage of life, and to help teach others about building physical, mental, and emotional resilience and inner strength. It is a celebration of my love of walking, which has enabled me to provide a quiet perspective to my life, take charge of my well-being, and maintain some control over my health, my future, and the process of aging.

Walking is a Power Source for WOMEN!
