Download or read book Just Keep Pedaling written by Thomas E. Trimbath and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-03-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What started out as one person's bike ride to lose some weight became the story of a slice of America from the Pacific Northwest to the Florida Keys. There were big cities, rural towns and great stretches of open land. Heroes and villains are out there too, but mostly it's fine people living day-to-day and unknowingly impressing strangers. The weather wasn't left out either. From the first winter storm in the mountains of Washington through the tailwinds in Idaho to the heat and storms of the South, weather kept things from getting boring. Seeing America at ten miles an hour without the protective shell of a car allows all of the senses to get to know the country. It was an interesting ride with insights into culture and sore muscles. And then there was the awesome chocolate sundae in a ranch town in Utah This personal narrative also has an appendix that acts as a guide for others that might want to try their own adventure. There are details on gear, route selection, and expenses and most of all encouragement. You don't know what you'll find out there on the road until you get there.
Download or read book Keep Pedaling L B written by Louise B. Marshall and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-02 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether learning to ride a bicycle or surviving personal or business challenges, Louise always followed her father’s advice to encourage perseverance with every endeavor: “Keep Pedaling, L.B. Don't Give Up...” and thus the title of this book. This is an action-packed autobiography from childhood in an English coastal town during bombing raids in WWII, to self-employment and growing a successful business with her husband at a time when few women were considered capable of doing so. Follow Louise and her family as more personal and professional challenges in the 70’s led them to experience eventual emigration to California and the acquisition of a second business. Tragedy struck with the advent of the Los Angeles riots in 1992, which led to more government bureaucracy, near financial disaster, lots of red tape, and a number of shady characters. Then the ensuing world-wide recession was almost an insurmountable event, but by sticking with the “Keep Pedaling” principle, survival was achieved.

Download or read book Flip Flop Fantasy written by Christina Laflamme and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a hot and humid July day in 2016, I set out from my home in the heart of Toronto on a three-hundred dollar bicycle, alone, forty-one years old, with next-to-no camping or long-distance cycling experience. My destination: more than two thousand kilometers away, the Cabot Trail. I had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it. All I knew was I was scared as hell. Single, no children, and perhaps feeling a little lost, I was unsure of so many things about my life. However, this bike ride I was entirely sure about. It was the only thing that felt right; so perhaps the journey would give me the reason? But would my girlish gumption be enough to see me through camping alone in the deep, dark woods, riding across thousands of kilometers, and climbing the many mountains of the Cabot Trail? Would going it alone and placing my faith in my fellow humans prove well-founded? Every moment was like a wild and wonderful wager. I knew in my heart that women are strong and that people are good. And this summer, I basically bet my life on it.

Book excerpt: How do you lead an organization stuck between an ending and a new beginning—when the old way of doing things no longer works but a way forward is not yet clear? Beaumont calls such in-between times liminal seasons—threshold times when the continuity of tradition disintegrates and uncertainty about the future fuels doubt and chaos. In a liminal season it simply is not helpful to pretend we understand what needs to happen next. But leaders can still lead.

It helps leaders stand firm in a disoriented state, learning from their mistakes and leading despite the confusion. Packed with rich stories and real-world examples, Beaumont guides the reader through practices that connect the soul of the leader with the soul of the institution.

Book excerpt: From the author of When I Was You comes a spine-tingling new thriller about a mother’s worst nightmare come true, when her teenage daughter goes to a sleepover and doesn’t come back. Whitney had some misgivings when she dropped her increasingly moody teenage daughter, Amelia, off at Lauren’s house. She’d never met the parents, and usually she’d go in, but Amelia clearly wasn’t going to let something so humiliating happen, so instead Whitney waved to her daughter before pulling away from the little house with the yellow roses in front. But when she goes back the next day, an elderly couple answers the door—Amelia and Lauren aren’t there, and this couple swears they never were, that she’s at the wrong house. As Whitney searches for Amelia, she uncovers a trail of lies her daughter has told her—from the Finsta account to rumors of a secret relationship. Does she really even know this girl she’s raised? And Amelia’s not the only one with secrets. Could Whitney’s own demons have something to do with her daughter’s disappearance, and can Whitney find her before it’s too late?
