Download or read book Recipe for Joy written by Robin Davis and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were three things food writer Robin Davis promised she would never do: she would never move back to Ohio, she would never get married, and she would never join an organized religion. Never say never—today, Davis is a recent transplant to the Midwest wife and stepmother, and converted Catholic. In Recipe for Joy, she shares her stories of food, faith, and family life, and discovers that “food” is the language she can speak when stepping into unfamiliar territory. Recipe for Joy tells Davis’s story of recognizing God’s plan, doubting it, and then discovering why God’s plan is her newfound path. The stories in Recipe for Joy are grouped by themes based on the courses of a meal, and each chapter ends with a recipe inspired by the theme. Recipe for Joy reveals that food and faith can go hand in hand and that God uses people (and some really good meals) to bring us into a closer relationship with God.

But Leo isn't going anywhere right now, except driving around Vegas all night with her sister. Until Paris ditches Leo at the Heartbreak Hotel Diner, where moments before they had been talking with physics student Max Sullivan. Outside, Leo finds a cryptic note from Paris—a clue. Is it some kind of game? Where is Paris, and why has she disappeared? When Leo reluctantly accepts Max's offer of help, the two find themselves following a string of clues through Vegas and beyond.

Stealing Joy Welcome to Wet Waterfalls, a minuscule magical municipality hidden in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Sometimes the scariest demons disguise themselves as someone you love. I learned that the hard way. I got out with my life, barely. I rescued myself from one danger, only to throw myself into another. I would have never survived a night in the woods on the side of a mountain if Doggo hadn’t shown up and brought his friends. Now I’m in protective custody, and for some reason, these crazy hot men are my self-appointed bodyguards. I’d like the tall one, Gage, to do a bit more than just guard my body, but Doggo—his real name is Max—might have something to say about that. Apparently, he has claimed me. The only explanation Gage will give me is, “Monsters are real, and love is magic.” I have to wait for the new moon to find out the rest. Stealing Joy is the sexy hot menage beginning to the Wolves of Wet Waterfalls, a why choose/ poly romance trilogy. Finding Home Everything is changing so fast, except my rate of healing. I would really like to be able to walk around in regular clothes. These open-back hospital gowns are a little too cold up the back side. I’d give my left pinkie toe for some warm cotton panties. Oh, wait I have, so where are my panties? The guys keep repeating, “We are pack,” like some kind of cult mantra. It tickles when they say it against my skin. The FBI wants to use me as some kind of fishing lure to catch the bad guy. I’m game if it means I can finally ditch the whole hospitalized patient get-up. I’m really tired of being hooked up to an IV. Also, I really want the good guys to catch the evil known as my ex-boyfriend. I can’t believe I thought I was in love with him. Max has gone AWOL and Gage has promised to keep me safe. I’m counting on him. Welcome to Wet Waterfalls, Wyoming, my new hometown. I’m moving here because monsters are real, doughnuts are magic, and I’m pretty sure my new boyfriend is a werewolf. Finding Home is the second in the sexy hot trilogy of the Wolves of Wet Waterfalls Ending Torment The good guys won and Max came home, but I still can’t quite relax, too much to do. The day is finally here and I’m far from being ready. I still don’t have everything I need, including something to wear. Preparations would be a lot easier if Kathleen, Gage’s ex, wasn’t going around town telling everyone I’m harassing her. She even took out a restraining order against me. Despite her attempt to get me in trouble with the local sheriff’s department, I’m going to stay here, and I’m marrying Gage. I’m not sure which I’m more excited about getting married or the full moon. The full moon means I finally get answers, but it also means I’m without protection by my side for three nights. I should be fine. My murderous ex is in FBI custody. Right? Welcome to Wet Waterfalls, there are demons in the woods, and witches on Main street. Ending Torment is the last story in the sexy hot trilogy.
Download or read book Finding Joy written by Natalie Davey and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-03-13 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we manifest more relational care in education by harnessing joy in the school setting? Finding Joy suggests it is found in care-based pedagogies, radical collegiality and relational reading practices. Guided by philosophical conversations with educational thinkers whose works have informed the author’s own praxis over a twenty-year career in public education, at the end of each chapter the reader is given provocations for reflection through a series of questions. Finding Joy offers readers the opportunity to spend time with educational philosophers like Gert Biesta, Nel Noddings, Michael Fielding and Maxine Greene. A relational reading of education-adjacent thinkers like D.W. Winnicott and Martha Nussbaum also point to the work that must be done to sustain and grow a thriving collegium in a changing world. Using narrative interviews and a/r/tographical research to help unpack what care looks like in education across various sectors, this book suggests that collegiality and care are required for the support of both teachers and students.
Download or read book Finding Joy written by Judy Snoddon and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judy lived an idyllic life in Canada’s picturesque Muskoka cottage country. She had a loving relationship, a good job and was the proud mother of two boys. Mark was the joyful troublemaker, a rough-and-tumble free spirit who would give anyone the shirt off his back. Jason was the quiet, sensitive one, a superb musician with a bright future. Then the unthinkable happened: a suicide, then cancer. In middle-age, Judy found herself childless, filled with emptiness, and rudderless. She kept asking herself: What happens when a mother stops being a mother? Judy gained strength from her love of family, friends and work. She turned to nature for her inspiration. Mysteries like the little buck that arrived shortly after Mark’s death, helped her appreciate the wonders of life. Caring for the tender plants in her Memory Garden gave her purpose, taught her lessons and helped her move forward on the “roller coaster” of events that unfolded. This inspiring story follows Judy’s journey from the depth of despair to enlightenment, from the brink of divorce to strength and hope. Judy Snoddon shows us how to find joy –one plant at a time.

Download or read book Finding Joy in Ecuador written by Lollie Hoxie and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They needed an escape plan! After losing their business, facing bankruptcy and foreclosure, then being frightened by a vision of their future, in a ratty trailer park watching Little House On The Prairie reruns, Lollie Hoxie hatches an ideabut she doesnt share it with her husband right away. In this, her first memoir, Hoxie explains with honest humor what happens next when they take an exploratory vacation to Ecuador, return home to sell everything they own, rent their house, and go back to permanently relocate in the little city of Gualaceo. Her resulting adventure involves the trials and tribulations of living with people who speak no English, negotiating precarious bus rides in the country, and traveling through a strange little town with dirt roads and a drunken immigration official, to name a few. There are side trips to Peru lasting longer than planned with terrific consequences and delicious calamities along the way. Finding Joy in Ecuador is filled with Hoxies sarcastic humor, contrasted with moments of self-reflection that, at times, take her confidence to the woodshed and threaten to end her marriage. Finding Joy in Ecuador lovingly describes an adventure that taught this couple about themselves and their love for each other. It also revealed to them an aspect of their American culture: the game of accumulating stuff. And, then, how remarkably fun it was for them to live without it! This memoir is a rollercoaster ride into retirement overseas; a fun and exhilarating, sometimes scary adventure of the way it really is. For people who want to get a true glimpse of daily life in this foreign country, its a rare find!
