Download or read book We See You written by Daisy M. Jenkins and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-08-26 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One warm Arizona morning, Daisy Jenkins was talking with God during her daily walk and lamenting to Him about the negativity, vitriol, and hatred permeating US news media. Whatever happened to kindness and goodness? Jenkins wondered. Why didn't newspapers and TV broadcasts ever highlight stories of love and support, especially in the wake of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic? Instead, American society was being bombarded with reporting on the violence, mass shootings, political wrangling, and racial injustice that kept our country angry, mistrustful, and constantly on edge. "God," Jenkins said, "somebody needs to write more about the positive things happening in our world today." God's answer was immediate: "You're a writer. Why don't you write something positive and stop waiting for someone else to do it?" As soon as Jenkins heard this call to action, she got to work. This book features thirty amazing men, ranging in age from twenty-two to ninety-eight, with heartfelt and inspiring life stories to share. Their experiences may not be a cure-all for the troubles of this world, but they offer us precious liberation, even for a short while, from negativity. They remind us that when we look for goodness, we will find that it is still alive and well and that it's high time we shine a brighter light on it to reveal the truth that the more we see the goodness around us, the more we allow others to see it within us.
Download or read book Love Letter to the Earth written by Thich Nhat Hanh and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh champions a more mindful, spiritual approach to protecting nature and limiting climate change—one that recognizes people and planet as one and the same. While many experts point to the enormous complexity in addressing issues ranging from the destruction of ecosystems to the loss of millions of species, Thich Nhat Hanh identifies one key issue as having the potential to create a tipping point. He believes that we need to move beyond the concept of the “environment,” as it leads people to experience themselves and Earth as two separate entities and to see the planet only in terms of what it can do for them. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh points to the lack of meaning and connection in peoples’ lives as being the cause of our addiction to consumerism. He deems it vital that we recognize and respond to the stress we are putting on the Earth if civilization is to survive. Rejecting the conventional economic approach, Thich Nhat Hanh shows that mindfulness and a spiritual revolution are needed to protect nature and limit climate change. Love Letter to the Earth is a hopeful book that gives us a path to follow by showing that change is possible only with the recognition that people and the planet are ultimately one and the same.

Book excerpt: Mateo Romero is living the dream as a beach attendant on the turquoise waters of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, helping families get the most of their vacations by day and rescuing kids in need by night. The last thing he expects is to meet Darby Benson, an uptight tourist who has the audacity to call him a stalker. Everywhere he goes, she’s there—either in distress or starting trouble. He should steer clear, but something about her draws him in. Her snide remarks infuriate him, but when she smiles, he forgets why he ever found her irritating in the first place. And he can’t have that—it goes against his first rule: “no getting involved with tourists.” Darby Benson, destination wedding extraordinaire, never expected she would still be unmarried at thirty-four years old. She didn’t imagine her boyfriend of twelve years would ask her to plan a romantic getaway for two only to propose to her assistant. Yet, here she is, single, on vacation alone, trying to avoid her ex and his new fiancée. To make matters worse, she keeps running into Mateo Romero, a local who seems hell-bent on sticking his nose in her business. Everywhere she turns, Mateo is there, offering advice, stepping in where he isn’t needed, being far too sexy for anyone’s good. Annoyance shifts to flirtation, and eventually, they can’t deny their attraction. Darby worries she’s being set up for her next heartbreak. Mateo is ready to give her his heart. If they can get on the same page, their romance could be one to last a lifetime.

Book excerpt: Undercurrent by Linda Freeny When Frank Damien became a sheriff in the small town of Santa Barbara, nothing prepared him for a criminal investigation that would bring back the nightmares he thought he left on the streets of New York. The ghastly-but strangely familiar-death of Cleo and Everett Hale has all the making of a muddled affair: a few fragments of circumstantial evidence here and there, involving personalities whose complex mental faculties make tying them to the crime an unenviable proposition.Aside from taking on a seemingly dead-end, thankless mission, Frank engages in an unwise affair with the ex-wife of the deceased, whose son is the prime suspect in the murders. Frank suspects that this investigation has more twists and turns than anyone could have imagined. About the Author American Linda Freeny lives in Ventura, California. She has ten novels, twenty screenplays, a TV pilot, and an award-winning short story to her name. When not writing, Linda and husband Bob could be seen showing off their champion German Shepherds. Though born and raised in England, Linda has no trace of her English accent anymore, though she still reads with one.
