Download or read book The hiss of hope written by Meredith Oenning-Hodgson and published by Chiron Publications. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parkinson’s Disease;chronic illness;intimate autonomy;psychology;Jungian psychology From the initial port of a relating pattern with Parkinson’s Disease consisting of the usual fight, flight, freeze or the book’s new ‘fall’ structural methodology, the author takes off on a voyage harboring cryptic intimations about being “with” an illness, about a less ego accentuated interacting. This remarkable transmutation happens gradually. A re-molding takes place during the course of an eight year journey. The nucleus of this book is a descriptive narrative of this journey, of a voyage to the paradoxical space of an intimate autonomy. Even though THE HISS OF HOPE is about living with a chronic disease, the book does not dwell on a life of suffering and desperation, but rather, it also depicts the adventure leading to places, to encounters and to depths of experience that would not have been possible without first having been ambushed by Parkinson’s. Today’s Zeitgeist seems to be pregnant with dark and fearful hints of impending disasters. This book suggests an intimate autonomy as a culturally integrable relating pattern to cope with life in the first half of the 21st century. And with death. With a grateful nod to Parkinson’s Disease and its initial rupture of her life, the author concludes her book with a generous smile. The sparkle of the ‘before’ space links to the calm radiance of the ‘after’. And the sibilant hiss, reveals itself as a dynamic third between hope and no-hope: a concurrent unity of an intimate togetherness and an autonomous separateness. A beginning asserts itself at the end. Parkinson’s reacts with a wise and iconic grin.

Download or read book God Doesn t Make Any Mistakes written by Dr. J. Steven Blake, D.O. and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2021-01-09 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I believe Dr. Blake’s memoir is the classic of classics of books written about the Black/White race thing. It catches more of the reality than “To Kill a Mockingbird – and “Gone with the Wind”. Even better than all of Faulkner’s novels. Why do I say this? More important, he captured the reality of the past century of Black/White reality through his parents and extended family. After finishing the Ole Miss School of hard-core white supremacy, he was introduced to the reality of racial reconciliation. Dr. Blake’s memoir is a must read for everyone interested in the Black/White race thing in the world.” James Meredith, Esq. First Black Graduate of the University of Mississippi ‘62

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A debut collection of witty, biting essays laced with a surprising warmth, from Jen Mann, the writer behind the popular blog People I Want to Punch in the Throat People I want to punch in the throat: • anyone who feels the need to bling her washer and dryer • humblebraggers • people who treat their pets like children Jen Mann doesn’t have a filter, which sometimes gets her in trouble with her neighbors, her fellow PTA moms, and that one woman who tried to sell her sex toys at a home shopping party. Known for her hilariously acerbic observations on her blog, People I Want to Punch in the Throat, Mann now brings her sharp wit to bear on suburban life, marriage, and motherhood in this laugh-out-loud collection of essays. From the politics of joining a play group, to the thrill of mothers’ night out at the gun range, to the rewards of your most meaningful relationship (the one you have with your cleaning lady), nothing is sacred or off-limits. So the next time you find yourself wearing fuzzy bunny pajamas in the school carpool line or accidentally stuck at a co-worker’s swingers party, just think, What would Jen Mann do? Or better yet, buy her book. Praise for People I Want to Punch in the Throat “People I Want to Punch in the Throat is so good that it’ll make you want to adopt all the cats in the world. I’m not sure about the correlation, but it’s that good. It should come with a warning.”—Jenny Lawson, author of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened “Jen Mann has an amazing way of telling stories that will make you cringe and burst out laughing at the same time. From swinger parties to racist toddlers, she makes the suburbs unbelievably funny.”—Karen Alpert, author of I Heart My Little A-Holes “Jen Mann says the things we’re all too afraid to say. Her honest and hilarious writing style reminds me of David Sedaris and Tina Fey.”—Robin O’Bryant, author of Ketchup Is a Vegetable: And Other Lies Moms Tell Themselves “Jen Mann’s shrewd and unrelenting assault on the absurdity of suburban life is an honest peek into the occasional nightmare that is part of living the American dream. I love Jen. I wish she was my neighbor. It’s so refreshing to know that I’m not the only one who wants to punch almost everyone in the f***ing throat.”—Nicole Knepper, author of Moms Who Drink And Swear

Download or read book Most Precious Gift written by Nancy Lee Armstrong and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in this book are poems that have inspired me over the years I have been writing since 1978. This is a way of expressing my feelings in words and thoughts from other peoples experiences as well as my own to explain my ideals. To me a writer is very similar to an artist. The writer focuses in his mind and then visualizes a portrait, where as the artist begins to draw the paintings. Hoping that each line falls into place, like the poet that writes the word down. Much like a puzzle that is pieced together. Then it becomes a beautiful piece of artwork. I feel I have been reaching for the stars and chasing my dreams to bring a little light to shine within your hearts. I now hold the Editors choice Award in four separate books. One is titled, Color of Life. This is a peace poem on Honorable Men Dedicated to our American heroes in the U.S.A. I also wrote a poem about our Savior titled Undying Rose. I have another poem Thorns in a book Timeless Voices. Also I wrote a poem on Birds again on first page titled Immortal Verses. This book is all about my greatest Author Jesus Christ.

The dark cloud is an illness in his family. The daily e-mails continue, more meaningful than ever, as Mitzi comforts and consoles Goldie. Their bond deepens, enhanced by the physical intimacy they have shared. Goldie sends Mitzi two birthday gifts. Each element of the jewel is imbued with significance which he delineates, the circle of diamonds indicating they have come full circle, are joined together again. The second gift is a photo album Goldie made, recreating their history, with pictures of places in their home town. On the last photo, of his school locker, he writes This is where we met between classes for 90 seconds, because we couldnt bear to be apart. Mitzi breaks her foot. At home, in pain, she reflects on Goldies marital status and writes him an e-mail saying In my experience married men dont leave, they simply break your heart. Please dont break my heart. He takes offense that she would question his integrity and motivation and suggests they go on hiatus until he has progress to report. She is devastated, sends a flurry of e-mails, begs forgiveness. They continue stronger than before. A new trip is planned, this time to Washington, D.C. It turns out to be both heaven and hell. It is heaven because the relationship is so strong, so close. He opens his heart about how bad his marriage is and his plans to end it. It is hell because they are both unwell. He suggests a third trip, to Niagara Falls. She knows this is the trip that will make all the difference, will cement their God given union. Then the unthinkable happens.
