Download or read book HOMESTEADING in the CALM EYE of the STORM written by Pete Walker and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homesteading in the Calm Eye of the Storm is a companion book to my self-help book: COMPLEX PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving. Homesteading is also a memoir of my journey of recovering from C-PTSD. Written in a more playful, easier to read style than my other books, it is much less dense and relatively free of psychological jargon. Several previewers have described it as rich, poignant, funny and full of self-disclosive anecdotes that are sure to help other survivors in their recovery. "Homesteading" has two parts. In Part I, I escape from my dysfunctional family and backpack around the world seeking happiness while I unconsciously flee my suffering. In Part II, I wander into the jungles of psychological theory and technique. I shift my focus from global adventurer to inner world explorer. The many hits and misses of my recovery efforts are detailed in this book. Eventually, I discover what works, and gradually move from struggling to survive to discovering how to thrive. Very gradually I find meaning, belonging and fulfillment. My fear shrinks, my toxic shame melts away, and peace of mind becomes my touchstone. My psyche heals as my self-kindness, self-care, and self-protection continuously grow. Eventually, I break the pattern of being attracted to painful relationships that mirror my experiences with my parents. This in turn frees me to find a number of truly intimate and comforting relationships.

Book excerpt: From NATIONAL BOOK FOUNDATION 5 UNDER 35 HONOREE and FLANNERY O'CONNOR AWARD WINNER Melinda Moustakis, a debut novel set in Alaska, about the turbulent marriage of two unlikely homesteaders “A beautiful novel, quiet as a snowfall, warm as a glowing wood stove...Admirers of Marilynne Robinson and Alice Munro are bound to appreciate.” —NPR “Spare and exquisite, tough and lovely. The sentences build on themselves, becoming expansive and staggering in their sweep.” —The New York Times Book Review Anchorage, 1956. When Marie and Lawrence first lock eyes at the Moose Lodge, they are immediately drawn together. But when they decide to marry, days later, they are more in love with the prospect of homesteading than anything else. For Lawrence, his parcel of 150 acres is an opportunity to finally belong in a world that has never delivered on its promise. For Marie, the land is an escape from the empty future she sees spinning out before her, and a risky bet is better than none at all. But over the next few years, as they work the land in an attempt to secure a deed to their homestead, they must face everything they don’t know about each other. As the Territory of Alaska moves toward statehood and inexorable change, can Marie and Lawrence create something new, or will they break apart trying? Immersive and wild-hearted, joyfully alive to both the intimate and the elemental, Homestead is an unflinching portrait of a new state and of the hard-fought, hard-bitten work of making a family.

Download or read book Homestead Homilies written by Barry Blackstone and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relive through reminiscing and remembering, a Maine pastor's recollections of boyhood experiences that turned into a minister's messages in old age. After five decades (Barry's first message was preached in 1966), travel back in time with a lifelong Maineaic to his home place, the Blackstone homestead of Perham, Maine. What sparked these homilies was his inheritance of seven acres of the family farm, homesteaded in 1861, and the receiving of his grandparent's house built in 1924 at the death of his Uncle Paul. You will probably come to the same conclusion as this coastal Maine pastor--that his seminary training began long before he attended a Bible school in South Carolina in the early 1970s. Flash back with him to the 1950s and 1960s when spiritual lessons were everywhere on his rural potato and dairy farm. Pastor Blackstone didn't know it then, but realizes now that he was surrounded by family Bible teachers and friendly Biblical instructors that eventually would inspire this series of sermons. Homestead Homilies is a collection of scriptural observations inspired by a dog named Rover, an uncle named Read, a moonlit night, a barnyard hedge, a day plowing, a grandmother's helpful hand, a bee hive, a simple prayer, a sparrow's song, and many more simple events in a past age where homilies were being preached and now eventually heard. It is the author's prayer that these simple sermons will provoke the reader to remember long lost messages from their distant past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From her Grey Lynn apartment to one of New Zealand’s most historic homesteads and horse studs, this is an inspirational journey from a corporate life working with Louis Vuitton back to the golden hills of rural Wairarapa. It’s the middle of the night and Angela lies awake asking herself, not for the first time, why she gave up her glamorous job in the city, immersed in a world of luxury designer labels, high fashion and cocktail parties. In High Street to Homestead Angela musters the courage to change direction, giving up her home in the city to re-discover what’s most important in life. It’s been said before that one can’t look to the future without looking at the past – but in some cases heritage can be a heavy burden, and digging up memories, a painful experience. Angela Williams’ great-great-great-grandfather is Henry Williams, famous for translating the Treaty of Waitangi into Maori. Her great-great- grandfather helped establish one of New Zealand’s largest sheep stations. While her great grandmother was a national champion golfer, Angela’s grandmother founded the famous Te Parae thoroughbred stud. And her mother was Miss New Zealand... But her family has also had its fair share of pain and hardship, something Angela knows about first-hand. With three children – Angela and her two older brothers – the Williams family of Te Parae face issues of succession many farming families will be familiar with. With the days of the vast sheep stations largely a thing of the past, and with so many rural homesteads being sold out of family ownership, there’s also the challenge of preserving an historic homestead for the next generation. Join Angela as talks herself down from the high branches of self-doubt, as she settles in to life in a glorious homestead, plans for its future, and grapples with one of her biggest rural addictions – horses.

Then tragedy strikes, and Jamie wants to extinguish any flame between him and Kayla. Can Kayla set aside her own fears to save the love she was determined to deny? Room on the Porch Swing Less than a year after her mother’s death, Laura Riehl finds herself burying another loved one: her best friend, Savilla, who dies after a brief and sudden illness. Laura feels heartbroken and alone, but her pain is nothing compared to that of Allen, the husband Savilla has left behind. When Laura offers to help Allen with his baby, he jumps at the opportunity. She’d do anything to lend a hand and to honor her best friend’s memory. Rudy, Laura’s boyfriend, is initially supportive of her plan, but the more time Laura spends with Allen, the more jealous Rudy becomes. As Laura and Allen face hardships together, their friendship takes a surprising yet comforting turn.

When one of the Riehl cows escapes to visit another cow down the lane, Cindy chases after it and meets a handsome Englisher named Drew. As they become friends and eventually much more, she is drawn further and further away from the Amish community and the family she loves. Will Cindy find happiness of her own?

Download or read book Chick and the Homestead Chickens of Grymme Creek Hollow written by David Boyette and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas in a place known as Grymme Creek Hollow was an abandoned homestead. Of course, being abandoned did not mean it was uninhabited. It was only abandoned in the sense that the original owner was long gone. This homestead was home to a chick named Chick. He was named Chick because his parents were not very imaginative. Chick, on the other hand, was very imaginative and had a real talent for finding adventure. This homestead was also home to a group of chickens who had claimed it as their own and established their own civilization. The homestead was surrounded by a stone wall which, as far as the chickens were concerned, was where civilization began and ended. Outside the stone wall was the dangerous wilderness known as the Deep Brush. The worse thing that could happen to any chicken was to be exiled from the safety of the homestead to the Deep Brush. This was exactly what was going to happen to Chick's Father, Walter, unless Chick could do something to stop it. Walter, who worked as a security rooster in the corn patch, had been accused by the malevolent hen, Aunty Hysidia, of stealing corn and giving it to the field mice of the Deep Brush. It was a serious offense and one that was punishable by exile. Chick Pinfeather, along with his friends Peq and Quinny, set out to prove Walter's innocence.
