Download or read book Second Wind written by Cami Ostman and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second Windis the story of an unlikely athlete and an unlikely heroine: Cami Ostman, a woman edging toward midlife who decides to take on a challenge that stretches her way outside of her comfort zone. That challenge presents itself when an old friend suggests she go for a run to distract her from the grief of her recent divorce. Excited by the clarity of mind and breathing space running offers her, she keeps it up — albeit slowly — and she decides to run seven marathons on seven continents; this becomes Ostman’s vision quest, the thing she turns to during the ups and downs of a new romance and during the hard months and years of redefining herself in the aftermath of the very restrictive, religious-based marriage and life she led up until her divorce. Insightful and uplifting,Second Windcarries the reader along for the ride as Ostman runs her way out of compliance with the patriarchal rules about “being a woman” that long held her captive and into authenticity and self-love. Her adventures — and the personal revelations that accompany them — inspire readers to take chances, find truth in their lives, and learn to listen to the voice inside them that’s been there all along.

Download or read book Second Wind written by Tiffany Smith and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is delicate. And what gives us even more perspective is we only have one life to live. Too often, we as Believers miss such a significant yet crucial detail in our life. God created us with a purpose, which means life is meant to be lived purposefully. So many of us fail to acknowledge God has a perfect plan for our lives. God's plan is so much better than anything we could ever conceive. In my story, I share some life experiences from my teenage years through my adult life during which God allowed trials and tribulations to take place, but worked it all out for my good. I share how God was the light when I was in such a dark place in my life. A few messages can be extracted from my story. Whether you are a Believer or not, my story gives no glory to a person; my story is a testament to who God is and who He can be if you allow Him to be Lord of your life. However, let me be clear. The most important message I wish to convey throughout the entire book is this: God is faithful.
Download or read book Second Wind written by Nathaniel Philbrick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A charming memoir of midlife by the bestselling author of Mayflower and In the Hurricane's Eye, recounting his attempt to recapture a national sailing championship he'd won at twenty-two. “There had been something elemental and all consuming about a Sunfish. Nothing could compare to the exhilaration of a close race in a real blow—the wind howling and spray flying as my Sunfish and I punched through the waves to the finish.” In the spring of 1992, Nat Philbrick was in his late thirties, living with his family on Nantucket, feeling stranded and longing for that thrill of victory he once felt after winning a national sailing championship in his youth. Was it a midlife crisis? It was certainly a watershed for the journalist-turned-stay-at-home dad, who impulsively decided to throw his hat into the ring, or water, again. With the bemused approval of his wife and children, Philbrick used the off-season on the island as his solitary training ground, sailing his tiny Sunfish to its remotest corners, experiencing the haunting beauty of its tidal creeks, inlets, and wave-battered sandbars. On ponds, bays, rivers, and finally at the championship on a lake in the heartland of America, he sailed through storms and memories, racing for the prize, but finding something unexpected about himself instead.
