Download or read book Scratch My Itch written by Cyndy Mamalian and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-06-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is clearly a right and wrong shade of lipstick for a person in a casket. The revolving door of home health aides is like a very bad version of the TV show The Bachelor. And an ALS diagnosis makes scratching an itch feel as futile as putting in contact lenses while wearing mittens. In this book, Cyndy Mamalian shares engaging stories about lessons learned and the resilience and humor she discovered in caring for her mother who had ALS, while also sharing with the reader the frustrations and horrors of this disease. In searching for evidence that there is indeed a heaven, Mamalian details the surprising gift of Diana Ross’s music and the comfort in knowing her mother has found her corner of the sky. Mamalian’s authentic and uncomfortably honest story is equal parts love letter, confession, and comedy and is good company for anyone who has loved and cared for another person.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Bestselling Author Ava Miles shares the keys to showing the world your true superhero nature by kicking shame to the curb. Many popular superheroes hide their true selves in the shadows. Cowed by shame and fear, they create false identities that they use to disguise their true nature. Isn’t that what most of us are doing? We’re “wrong” for everything from showing anger to crying, and sometimes even for laughing too loud or dressing a certain way. We are surrounded with taboos that keep our expression in check. “Darker” expressions and emotions make us unlovable or are “too much.” Expressing how we really think or feel gives way to punishment, shame, or abandonment. But no more. Forget all you’ve learned about getting angry or sad and everything in between. Expressing ourselves involves freeing ourselves from our masks and stepping into our superhero selves. Life-changing tools in this book include: · Facing down the seeds of judgment · Clearing shut-down patterns begun in childhood · Spotlight Tools to highlight our triggers · Super Tools to return to superhero wholeness · Take Back Tools for rewiring us to true expression · Cutting-edge exercises to relink our hearts to wholeness Expression Is Your Superpower is part of The Lost Guides to Living Your Best Life series, a complete system to help us reclaim the nine superpowers essential to rocking life. * * * Ava Miles is the international bestselling author of powerful books about love, happiness, and transformation.

His urgent message to stop waiting for inspiration to strike and take control of your life is one he wishes someone had given him when he was a teenager—lost, homeless, failing in school, and dealing with the challenges of being a young Black man in America. Once he was able to break free from thinking of himself as a victim and truly understand his strengths, he switched the script. And now, with this book, Thomas reveals how you, too, can rewrite your life's script. With support, he recognized that his unique gift is being able to capture the attention of all kinds of people in all kinds of settings—boardrooms, locker rooms, churches, classrooms, even the streets—thanks to his wealth of experiences and command of language. Today, Thomas considers himself blessed to speak to an audience that is as large as it is diverse, from the rich and famous to kids struggling in school to young men in prison hoping for a new start. Thomas’s secrets of success have already helped hundreds of thousands on their journey, but this is his first guide to show you how to start today, right now. These critical first steps include deeply understanding yourself and the world around you, finding your why, accepting that you may have to give up something good for something great, and constantly stretching toward your potential. No matter where you are on your journey toward greatness, you owe it to yourself to become fully, authentically you. And Eric Thomas’s You Owe You can help get you there.

Download or read book Can I Have My Ball Back written by Richard Herring and published by Sphere. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Very funny, moving and heartwarming' BOB MORTIMER 'A bollockbuster!' ADAM BUXTON If we are cowardly, we are told to grow some If we're brave, we're said to have huge ones If it's cold, they are liable to fall off - even if you're a brass monkey If we're in trouble, someone will threaten to break them If we have to work hard, we might very well bust them If we're in somebody's thrall, then they've got us by them About fifteen years ago, Richard Herring first took part in a campaign to encourage men to have a little (non-sexual) feel of their balls every now and again. But it was embarrassing and weird, and if there was something wrong, he didn't want to know about it. Anyway, that kind of stuff only happens to other people, doesn't it? At the start of 2021 Richard Herring was diagnosed with testicular cancer. For a man whose output includes a stand-up tour titled Talking Cock and who regularly interrogates our attitudes towards masculinity, it was a diagnosis that came with additional layers of complexity. Telling Rich's personal story alongside an exploration of what defines masculinity and 'maleness' in society, Can I Have My Ball Back? is not your typical cancer memoir. Whether they're nuts, bollocks, gonads or family jewels; from the phrase 'grow some balls' to infamous WWII songs about Hitler; Rich unpicks the tangle of emotions around his own testing times.

(Julia Glass, national bestselling author). The Gretchen Question recounts a day in the life of Roberta Chase, who does not have much time left to make peace with her son ,who’s punishing her for withholding his father’s true identity from him. A single mother torn between protecting her only child or revealing herself fully to the people she loves most, Roberta finds herself at war with conflicting loyalties, increasing betrayal by her own body, the confused love she feels for her oldest friend, and a trauma from her past that casts a deep and possibly permanent shadow not only over her own life, but over the legacy she will bestow upon her son. Portraying the most intense and shameful moments of motherhood, and the things we leave unsaid even to those we want most to hear them, The Gretchen Question is a celebration of one woman’s private reckoning with the source of her life’s most profound pain―as well as its greatest pleasure. “A powerful and emotional ride with disorienting, satisfying turns and a stunning end. Treadway is masterful.” —Lily King, New York Times–bestselling author “Roberta’s . . . emotional journey is captured beautifully. Treadway powerfully captures one woman’s attempt to live a meaningful existence despite all that she has endured.” —Publishers Weekly “A thoughtful, and thought-provoking, meditation on love, loss, and legacy.” —Kirkus Reviews
