Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens on a tropical island stays on a tropical island...Right?? I love to mark off all the boxes of my to-do lists; love to plan what comes next. But one box that remains permanently unchecked is the relationship status box. Frustrated after another failed date, my friends convince me that a week of sand and sun will revive me and help me shake free of failed dating apps, work, and the dreariness of spring in Shipbuilt. First day in my tropical paradise and I faint, probably from dehydration, and fall into the arms of my new hero, self-made Dominican-New Yorker, Carlos. He promises me the week of a lifetime, and I let myself believe him. After all, you only live once. His ease of all things island life--from motorcycles to waterfall jumps to finding the tastiest coconuts and pineapples, lull me into letting go of my need to be in control and let him take the lead. Dimpled smiles and bronzed muscles fill me with a heat that has nothing to do with the Caribbean sun. For a brief flicker of time, I think there might be more to our fling than just hot tropical lust, but Carlos ghosts me soon after I leave the Caribbean paradise. Vacation over, reality smacks hard: cold gray days, long hours at work, and a positive pregnancy test. You've Got Love in Paradise is a juicy, steamy vacation romance, complete with a cinnamon roll hero, accidental pregnancy, and a guaranteed HEA. It's a standalone in the small-town series, Shipbuilt Shenanigans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Echoes of a Vision of Paradise Volume 1 presents the idea that a human, Soul-possessing Spirit Being—a gated, unmodulated potential carrier of light—who is unaware of the Divine Plan is not yet considered enlightened. To be enlightened one must be a Soul-possessing Spirit (gated and modulated) Being or an enlightened (aware of the engraved Image and Beauty of God within-Soul-possessing), Spirit (gated, modulated carrier), a Light being! To be an enlightened being, you are aware that you are aware that you are a manifestation of God—able to reflect, as in an image. Second, you have the knowingness that God does what He Wills and as He Pleases. In other words, you are His design and no matter what, all paths lead to God! Whatever one may be doing will eventually lead to the process of enlightenment. The only question remaining is, how do you choose to make your journey? Swift and smooth, or slow and harsh? *** One dot of light is a symbol used to represent the whole of Creation. Within this dot of light, everything that is unmanifested and manifested, hidden and seen, far and near is contained as an ever-present potential in transit, expanding and transcending over time into unified fields of a—the Spirit of slow, collapsing gating systems. Infinite points of entry are assembled into structures with forms and functions that translate information into systems of intelligent life and more, male and female human pairings as eternal companions that vibrate in a definite pattern of Light.

Download or read book Echoes of a Vision of Paradise Volume 3 written by Frank Scott and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 3 We wonder how a creature can sense the presence of the Creator? Can someone so far removed truly be so near? Is there a way to become cognizant of God’s imprint in His creature, how He makes Himself known and established in heart and mind? What would happen if that nearness were possible? The answer is found in the following statement: I am aware that I am aware that I can find a clear appearance of God (His image and beauty) in my Soul. To realize, and thus to Know and understand, comes from a shift in how we treat our inner Selves, a change of heart, core, and essence. We thus come to comprehend that we were created to manifest the Creator, using attributes that express and attest to that station! From time to time, a Manifestation of the Creator comes to town, that is, in human form upon the Earth. He dispenses the information required for changes that sets the stage for the way we should live—modifications in the collective and individual design. Our mind-world, sense-perceived constructs run contrary to life and are lacking the ingredients for a complete delivery of both a successful, collective narrative within our planetary system of intelligent life and, as individuals, the changes that bring about enlightenment and the love of the Creator—the Dreamer.
Download or read book Calling the Soul Back written by Christina Garcia Lopez and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirituality has consistently been present in the political and cultural counternarratives of Chicanx literature. Calling the Soul Back focuses on the embodied aspects of a spirituality integrating body, mind, and soul. Centering the relationship between embodiment and literary narrative, Christina Garcia Lopez shows narrative as healing work through which writers and readers ritually call back the soul—one’s unique immaterial essence—into union with the body, counteracting the wounding fragmentation that emerged out of colonization and imperialism. These readings feature both underanalyzed and more popular works by pivotal writers such as Gloria Anzaldúa, Sandra Cisneros, and Rudolfo Anaya, in addition to works by less commonly acknowledged authors. Calling the Soul Back explores the spiritual and ancestral knowledge offered in narratives of bodies in trauma, bodies engaged in ritual, grieving bodies, bodies immersed in and becoming part of nature, and dreaming bodies. Reading across narrative nonfiction, performative monologue, short fiction, fables, illustrated children’s books, and a novel, Garcia Lopez asks how these narratives draw on the embodied intersections of ways of knowing and being to shift readers’ consciousness regarding relationships to space, time, and natural environments. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Calling the Soul Back draws on literary and Chicanx studies scholars as well as those in religious studies, feminist studies, sociology, environmental studies, philosophy, and Indigenous studies, to reveal narrative’s healing potential to bring the soul into balance with the body and mind.

Book excerpt: Short Fiction by Hispanic Writers of the United States includes representative works by the most celebrated Cuban-American, Mexican-American and Puerto Rican writers of short fiction in the country. The texts cover a full range of expression, themes and styles of US Hispanics and are introduced by informative entries which place the authors in their cultural and historic frameworks. In these pages, the reader will not find picturesque, folksy or touristy renditions of Hispanic culture. Instead, Short Fiction by Hispanic Writers of the United States brings together works that are clear, incisive and authentic representations of Hispanic life in the United States. The selections are as diverse as Hispanic culture itself and as varied as the personalities of their authors. Here are Max Mart’nezÕs outrageous challenge of racial and social structures, Roberta Fern‡ndezÕs construction of Hispanic womenÕs aesthetics, Roberto Fern‡ndezÕs subversion of the English language, Nicholasa MohrÕs humorous attack on patriarchy, and Judith Ortiz CoferÕs poetic evocation of childhood and biculturalism. This collection engages in aesthetic and cultural experience that will result in a re-defined canon and a new identity for the country as whole. They are re-focusing our perception of ourselves as a people and a culture. The pressure and the commitment to do so, of course, make for excellence and innovation in literary expression. It also makes for enjoyable reading. Short Fiction by Hispanic Writers of the United States is recommended for the general fiction reader and for use in high school and college literature classes in search of a multicultural perspective.

Download or read book Echoes of a Vision of Paradise Volume 2 written by Frank Scott and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 This ascension may be greatly accelerated when accomplished in a divine relationship, an eternal companionship created originally by God between the two Soul-possessing Spirit beings in the beginning that has no beginning. The path to eternal companionship begins with two individuals—in the role of a man and a woman—following whatever script, costumes, and props he or she may be using in the theater of life. To simplify the journey as we search for the Truth, the individual—regardless of roles and scripts, costumes and props—must remember and return to his or her Higher Self, the (human) Soul-possessing Spirit (gated and modulated) being’s state, the fifth dimension of awareness. The individual must detach himself or herself from the ascribed value system that has been applied up until then in life. It is God the Creator who brings the shifts in our conscious awareness and the blessings of the Spirit (imperceptible fields of activities at first) that are continuously expressed in daily life, opportunities or concepts that bring closure to a project, recoveries from illnesses, the finding of one’s way in difficult situations, and conflict resolutions when all appears lost.
