Book excerpt: Since the late 1970s, James Pauley, Jr. has been jet-setting around the world as a flight attendant. During his time on this planet and in the skies, he's pretty much seen and heard it all. In Bumpy Rides and Soft Landings, Pauley chronicles his life-both in the air and on the ground-one meaningful adventure after another. As someone whose innate filter doesn't always work, Pauley says it exactly as he sees it. Written in his uniquely humorous, poignant, sarcastic, self-deprecating, honest, and mildly outrageous style, he recounts stories of growing up different, while learning important lessons from even the most unlikely of sources: a chili dog, a nasty queen, a cursing coworker, a Porta-Potty, a stranger's judgment, a sore butt, a new piano, a tiny scar, a grieving widow, and a hateful bully. With the millions of miles he's logged in over the years, along with the thousands of diverse and colorful characters he's met and observed along the way, he knows one thing for certain: On this journey called Life, with no GPS or autopilot to help us navigate, no one truly knows what their final destination will be. And, because the ride will undoubtedly be turbulent at times, it's best to just fasten your seat belts, learn from the experience, and always hope for a soft landing.
Download or read book A Soft Landing after a Bumpy Ride written by Charles E. Ortloff and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of our time is spent with the outer life -- our jobs, our friends and families, our hobbies, or our health. We spend much less time with the inner life, that place of feelings and thoughts, anger and love, hopes and dreams. When we do spend time with the inner life, it can often be overwhelming and disruptive, taking over our lives with feelings of hopelessness and fear or with endless ruminations about our past and worries about our future. In the practices of this book, we learn how to make friends with our inner life, to reconnect with ourselves, others, our world, and with God. We learn to have productive conversations with three specific inner voices: our separated self who lives in a world of scarcity and fear, our connected self who lives in an expansive world of abundance and compassion, and the watcher who stands apart from all the conflicting conversations going on in the inner life. The watcher decides how then shall we live. With a little time and some practice, we can bring our inner turmoil to a peaceful resolution and live a life that is safe, joyful, focused, and filled with compassion.

Book excerpt: Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains. Winner of the LA Times Book Prize. For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play around with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who knows something about what it’s like to live without the feed-and about resisting its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., M. T. Anderson has created a brave new world - and a hilarious new lingo - sure to appeal to anyone who appreciates smart satire, futuristic fiction laced with humor, or any story featuring skin lesions as a fashion statement.

This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't you feel a deep sense of responsibility to this beautiful little planet and to all of its diverse life forms, including our own?Let's make it happen! Let's save the world!This is a call to intelligent people everywhere to examine the facts and choose to see the truth. This is a call to reasonable people everywhere to embrace the truth and replace our flawed and doomed culture before it crashes on its own. This is a call to responsible people everywhere to step up and do what we have to do to save this planet. Other than greed and selfishness, there is no reason for us to continue down this path that leads to our destruction.I believe that achieving this Critical Mass through helping people understand how things came to be this way represents our best hope for saving the planet and the rest of the Community of Life from destruction by our insane culture. The other possibilities are achieving the Critical Mass through either spiritual enlightenment or an understanding of modern physics. The key is for people to understand the truth about the connectedness of everything that exists. By whatever means he or she achieves that understanding, whenever a person comes to know the truth that everything is connected, then that person will also see the need to transform our culture, which is based upon the false premise that everything is separate.It is totally within our power to change this situation. First, we must assemble a Critical Mass of people who understand that everything is connected, and our present, insane culture does not recognize this reality. Then we make changes.
