Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the word journey is thrown around so often that it has become a bit of clich, that is exactly what recovery from anorexia nervosa is. In Its Not Always Rainbows & Butterflies I have traced a case of anorexia through the stages of change: 1) Its addictive initial joy 2) Through defiance and anger at being confronted with unwanted treatment and concern from loved ones 3) Beginning to understand and accept that there may be a problem 4) Seeking help and started the process of change/recovery 5) Finally starting to break free! Realising life beyond that cage and exposing the disease for what it really is! This is my case. I have written this about my own journey through 11 years of battling the illness, at a time when I am finally breaking free. My motivation and aim is to reach out to those with the illness, family and friends of this with anorexia, and anyone else whose life has been touched by this terrible disease. I aim to expose the different stages, capture the incredibly emotional process of contemplating change and of course the battle of recovery. I want to convict those that feel there is no hope of recovery because I once thought that too, but I have proven myself wrong. I feel the pictures elicit even more emotion in the reader and in fact I believe they do so as I have seen numerous people in tears of sadness and joy from reading it. I do believe it will speak to many people as anorexia is becoming a massive problem in our society. I want to offer hope, deglamorise the illness, and hopefully bring about positive change.

Download or read book Quicklet on The Best Maroon 5 Songs Lyrics and Analysis written by Nolan Collins and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maroon 5 is an alternative-rock band formed in Los Angeles, CA and is composed of members Adam Levine (vocals and guitar), James Valentine (guitar), Jesse Carmichael (keyboard), Mickey Madden (bass guitar), and Matt Flynn (drums). They haven’t always been the platinum-selling band that they are now. Rather, the members of Maroon 5 started out like any other band did: in a garage. More specifically, Jesse Carmichael’s garage in Malibu, CA. They also didn’t start with the moniker of Maroon 5: Previously, they were Kara’s Flowers. It wasn’t until after a handful of changes in band members, a few deals (including Reprise Records and Warner Brothers), and a cross country trip for Adam and Jesse that they officially adopted a new name of Maroon 5 in 2001. Maroon 5 released their first album in mid-2002, then hit the road on the Jeep World Outside tour with other notable up-and-comers like Train and O.A.R. and with Sheryl Crow headlining. After that tour, they opened for John Mayer in early 2003. Guitarist James Valentine had actually become friends with John Mayer back in 1996 at Berklee College of Music. When they ran into each other again in 2002, John Mayer listened to Maroon 5’s music and loved it, so he invited them to go on tour with him. Maroon 5 didn’t stop touring there, though. In fact, they continued touring for almost two more years, bringing their total time spent non-stop on the road to a little more than three years! One of the band’s favorite experiences during this time was opening for The Rolling Stones.

Download or read book Journeys to the Bandstand written by Chris Wong and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-01-19 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What I didn’t know [when starting to research and write this book]: I would become full-on, hopelessly obsessed with finding out every arcane detail about the artists gathered in these pages, whether they are living or long gone. Those myriad facts are puzzle pieces that—even though some pieces are missing—form portraits of extraordinary people with a hunger for jazz and other creative artforms, a determination to overcome struggles, and a deep joy for creating profound expression. —Chris Wong, from the Preface and Introduction to Journeys to the Bandstand. Journeys to the Bandstand: Thirty Jazz Lives in Vancouver chronicles the creative lives and musical journeys of thirty extraordinary artists who have helped shape the jazz scene in the west coast Canadian city, and further afield. Each chapter focuses on one remarkable artist, or a small group of impactful musicians, mostly based in Vancouver (Al Neil, Dave Quarin, Brad Turner, Cory Weeds, Jodi Proznick, Natasha D’Agostino, and others). The book also highlights some American musicians (Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, Dr. Lonnie Smith, George Coleman, and others) who have made an indelible impression on the city’s jazz community. Weaving a first-person perspective—through the author’s experiences hearing the musicians perform and documenting oral history from in-depth interviews—with extensive written and audio-visual history gathered from articles, letters, recordings, films, and more, Journeys to the Bandstand is a compelling collection of long-form portraits. The unique life stories of each subject include challenges—addictions, anxiety and self-doubt, racism, abuse, and other hard realities—and triumphs when they succeeded in making expressive and memorable music. Each individual path forms a complex and fascinating passage—the journey to the bandstand.
