Download or read book A Letter to My Son written by Kim S and published by Polished Publishing Group. This book was released on 2009 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Letter to My Son copyright (c) 2004, 2009 by Kim S. All rights reserved. A few people have asked me, "Is this book an autobiography? It sure sounds like you." The answer to that question is: "Yes and no." A Letter to My Son is based on some of my life experiences; but, many of the characters inside are fictional, and some of the story ideas were sparked by nothing more than a telephone conversation. In retrospect, this book is more a reflection of my mindset, at that time, than my whole reality. I saw myself as a victim in life, stemming from a family tragedy that occurred when I was a teenager; and, this is the vantage point from which I continued to view the world around me for many years to come. The stories in A Letter to My Son are the snippets of my life experience that I chose to focus on back then. Evidently, the more I dwelled upon this notion that I was a casualty of unfair circumstance, the more I attracted people and situations that proved me right. I believe we always prove ourselves right. We all receive what we expect to receive from life, and we attract the circumstances that match our personal vibrations at any given time. This is a natural, impartial law of our universe-just as gravity is-and I believe this book demonstrates it very clearly. At the time I wrote A Letter to My Son, I had no idea why I was so compelled to purge these pessimistic thoughts from my system in such a public way. But, several years later, I know. It's as though it was meant to be, all along, and my second and third books bring it all full circle. I was saying "good-bye" to that troubled phase in my life and opening myself up to something new. Two and a half years later, "something new" arrived-a more optimistic viewpoint that changed the path I was on and spawned the creation of my second book titled A Letter to My Daughter. About the Author When Kim S. published her first book, A Letter to My Son, in 2004, she had no idea why she was compelled to purge her negativity in such a public way. But several years later, she knows. It's as though it was meant to be all along, and her second and third books bring it all full circle.

Kim resolved to put this theory to the test-to determine, for herself, if it is true that we get what we focus on. After nearly three years of consciously and deliberately applying the principles of the Law of Attraction in her life, she is proud to present her third book, titled 11:11.

The entire community is shocked when Rose Gold says yes. Patty insists all she wants is to reconcile their differences.

The girls spent countless afternoons together, ice skating in the nearby Lake Meadows apartment complex, swimming in the pool at the Ida B. Wells housing project, and daydreaming of their futures: Dawn a writer, Debra a doctor, Kim a teacher. Then they came to a precipice, a fraught rite of passage for all girls when the dangers and the harsh realities of the world burst the innocent bubble of childhood, when the choices they made could--and would--have devastating consequences. There was a razor thin margin of error--especially for brown girls"

Download or read book 11 11 written by Kim S and published by Polished Publishing Group. This book was released on 2009 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 11:11 copyright (c) 2009 by Kim S. All rights reserved. A friend of mine first introduced me to the natural Law of Attraction in early 2007, and I found myself caught up in this "New Age" sensation along with many others around me. Several of my coworkers had Buddha's dictum "All that we are is the result of what we have thought" posted in their cubicles-each of them determined to improve their lives with the help of this daily reminder. I, too, was so inspired by this revelation that my second book came to me in record speed. In 2007, I resolved to put this theory to the test-to determine, for myself, whether it is true that we attract what we focus on. I began meditating and making an honest effort to start every single morning with at least five grateful thoughts. After nearly three years of consciously and deliberately applying the principles of the Law of Attraction in my life, I present to you my third book titled 11:11. For me, this is about so much more than taking responsibility for one's own life. It's about each of us somehow harmonizing ourselves with everyone else. I don't think our goal, as individuals, is to follow the exact same course; rather, the key is to combine loyalty to one's own beliefs with veneration for others'. That is the true path to harmony. Ultimately, I think we're all looking at the same thing. We're just viewing it from different standpoints and using our own unique words to describe it. I hope the words I've chosen to describe my personal beliefs will warm your heart, and I hope you're able to see some common ground between us. That is my intention.

Download or read book Architecture and Urbanism in Modern Korea written by Inha Jung and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although modernization in Korea started more than a century later than in the West, it has worked as a prominent ideology throughout the past century—in particular it has brought radical changes in Korean architecture and cities. Traditional structures and ways of life have been thoroughly uprooted in modernity’s continuous negation of the past. This book presents a comprehensive overview of architectural development and urbanization in Korea within the broad framework of modernization. Twentieth-century Korean architecture and cities form three distinctive periods. The first, defined as colonial modern, occurred between the early twentieth century and 1945, when Western civilization was transplanted to Korea via Japan, and a modern way of life, albeit distorted, began taking shape. The second is the so-called developmental dictatorship period. Between 1961 and 1988, the explosive growth of urban populations resulted in large-scale construction booms, and architects delved into modern identity through the locality of traditional architecture. The last period began in the mid-1990s and may be defined as one of modernization settlement and a transition to globalization. With city populations leveling out, urbanization and architecture came to be viewed from new perspectives. Inha Jung, however, contends that what is more significant is the identification of elements that have remained unchanged. Jung identifies continuities that have been formed by long-standing relationships between humans and their built environment and, despite rapid modernization, are still deeply rooted in the Korean way of life. For this reason, in the twentieth century, regionalism exerted a great influence on Korean architects. Various architectural and urban principles that Koreans developed over a long period while adapting to the natural environment have provided important foundations for architects’ works. By exploring these sources, this carefully researched and amply illustrated book makes an original contribution to defining modern identity in Korea’s architecture, housing, and urbanism.

Download or read book Love First written by Cece Savage and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With diabolical characters, real struggles, and profound emotions, Love First is inspired from true events and address the journey of young Sheila as she grows into adulthood. It is a coming-of-age story about the struggles of trying to survive in an abusive household, making it out, and finding yourself falling back into the same patterns you once wished to avoid. It is a strikingly dark narrative of the struggles of African American families in America and the unintended prejudices that come with it. Sheila learns to struggle through harassment, physical abuse, emotional manipulation, teenage pregnancy, and multiple betrayals. Sheila is the focal point, but Love First poignantly describes how parents have a huge hand in helping children grow into better, or worse, adults. It also describes the story how three girls Sheila, Lita and Sarah, despite growing up in the same environment, all go on their own drastically different paths. One things is for sure, if Sheila wants to make it out, she cannot stay pure and innocent. She must fight fire with fire. She grows, from strong-willed, good-intentioned, albeit slightly gullible, young woman into a fierce adult who vows to fight for her children till the very end. Unfortunately, through the process, she becomes the very thing that she wholeheartedly despises. Her mother.
