Hello, this is your website author, writer, recovering Borderline and 30+-year recovering alcoholic making a direct commentary to whomever reads this website.  Advertised at the very top of the home page of this website is a meditation book, entitled "Prepare for the Harvest".  I authored and published this book in November 2011.  I have lived and breathed this disorder, and needed to do something to help myself, and ultimately help others battling this disorder.  This book is a year and a half of "service work", which is essential in anyone's recovery from anything.  I needed to "carry the message" to those who suffer from the enigma and horror of of this personality disorder.

I have sold a fair number of "hard-copies" of this book.  I offer the hard-copy format currently for $17.99 through LuLu books at the following link:  http://bit.ly/n6tla7. (That's $.05 per day!  A nickel a day for some recovery advice from another sufferer!!) The book is also offered in ebook format for Nook at Barnes & Noble here:  http://bit.ly/yH6Hb7.  Through Smashwords, other ebook formats such as epub, mobi, pdf, rtf, lrf, pdb, txt, html may be found at the following link:  http://bit.ly/nAnomv.  All ebook formats are just $0.99 in price.  So the choice is yours.  I have found, however, that in all the meditation books I currently own, I own them in hard-copy format.  I am very much a part of the digital-virtual world we live in (or I wouldn't be in web-design).  Sometimes getting knowledge, self-help or instructions for living from a real-live book has a tendency to reach a deeper part of nyself where it takes better hold.  I don't know why.

Each of the 366 entires (1 for each day of the year, and for the date Feb. 29th every four years), has a topic of addiction recovery, (drug or alcohol primarily), or a topic concerning Borderline Personality Disorder.  The meditation book was targeted in part for those with an addiction disorder and BPD.  Reading the statistics I have cited in this Webquest on BPD, one can see that addiction very often accompanies Borderline Personality Disorder.  If an person gets clean and sober from the addiction, often times BPD is later diagnosed after it rears its ugly head after the person has been sober awhile.  The addiction merely helped the person manage their BPD characteristics without knowing what they were.

I have been to treatment centers promoting the book as a tool to help the recovering person.  I have given the book away to those who could not afford the outlay...especially those newly-released from incarceration.  Addiction and mental illness takes hostages, and does not discriminate between socio-economic classes.  This website: a webquest for understanding the Borderline Personality Disorder, along with the book "Prepare for the Harvest" were efforts I made to help myself and help others.

I can be reached on the "Contact" section under "Topics Covered" on the Main page.  If you are an addict and/or a Borderline, trying out the meditation book may be a very useful daily tool for you.
