Download or read book SCARS TO STARS written by Dolly Haik-Adams Berthelot and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a devout Catholic girl from a LA mill town become a Mystical Humanist Unitarian Universalist, and what does that mean anyway, at least to her? “Dr. Dolly” shares her emotional journey—torn from Catholicism by a young love crisis, jumping from daily news editor to innovative Existential journalism teacher, world traveling writer-photographer, professor, communication consultant, later medical and caretaking challenges, and loss. Life spurred endless questions plus visions of possible ongoing evolution. What matters, she says, isn’t theories, religion, or even God. Not beliefs but behaviors. Whether it’s practiced or not, the Golden Rule is preached across every religion and is at the solid core of Humanism. Never has there been a greater need for Interdependence and commitment to Our Common Good. The Covid 19 pandemic, racial and political turmoil, climate upheaval—all have shown we must cooperate to flourish or we may perish. Speaking from both head and heart, the author rejects the dualism that too often separates interlocking reality. While embracing the logic of humanism and principles of Unitarian Universalism, she also shares key stories and poems revealing mystical experiences and the potency of dreams. Though most of this short memoir is prose, the last third also includes a variety of stunning, sometimes witty, original poems written from the author’s mid to later life. These offer mind-expanding cosmic visions of potential afterlife, celebrate astounding natural beauty, and call upon humans of all beliefs to behave for the common good, especially in shared crises such as pandemics. This brief ethical and spiritual memoir is compelling, edifying, and inspiring, with a touch of wit. It celebrates beauty and art (such as that in her cover photograph), honesty, authentic relationships, intellect and intuition, critical and creative thinking, freedom and responsibility, unity within diversity, and the open-mindedness that lets in sunbeams and fresh air.

Before, I was a million things. Now I'm only one. The Burned Girl. Ava Lee has lost everything there is to lose: Her parents. Her best friend. Her home. Even her face. She doesn't need a mirror to know what she looks like--she can see her reflection in the eyes of everyone around her. A year after the fire that destroyed her world, her aunt and uncle have decided she should go back to high school. Be "normal" again. Whatever that is. Ava knows better. There is no normal for someone like her. And forget making friends--no one wants to be seen with the Burned Girl, now or ever. But when Ava meets a fellow survivor named Piper, she begins to feel like maybe she doesn't have to face the nightmare alone. Sarcastic and blunt, Piper isn't afraid to push Ava out of her comfort zone. Piper introduces Ava to Asad, a boy who loves theater just as much as she does, and slowly, Ava tries to create a life again. Yet Piper is fighting her own battle, and soon Ava must decide if she's going to fade back into her scars . . . or let the people by her side help her fly.

This book is for everyone, burned or not, who has ever searched for a light in the darkness." --Stephanie Nielson, New York Times bestselling author of Heaven Is Here and a burn survivor
