Download or read book What Mommy Never Told You A Woman s Guide to the Next Phase of Life written by Ericka Pittman and published by Scribe Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is tough balancing being a woman and a lady. It is even tougher being both domestically and professionally powerful. As society continues to accept women as equal power brokers, the rules of how to define, manage, and sustain it are ever-changing. It seems that success for women is often defined by an imaginary checklist: learn proper etiquette, get good grades in formative school, achieve higher education, and land a good job and/or a "good man." AND THEN WHAT? WHAT'S NEXT? When the "rulebooks" go away, women are often left to "figure it out" on their own. They must learn to laugh at and redefine what it means to be powerful. For the past 18 years I have been in a virtual fog about what to do next, who to be next, how to behave in the next situation. While there are numerous examples of phenomenal women who have achieved unprecedented success in business, and even greater success in work/life balance, there are limited platforms for women embarking on their "next phase" of life. Throughout the elevation of my career, I found myself relying on my own personal intuition and interpretation of what I saw the boys doing. With fingers crossed, I'd add a "plus up" feminine twist and hope for the best. Oftentimes, I stubbed my toes, acquired a few bumps and bruises and even made a complete fool of myself -- but through these experiences I learned what works and what doesn't. If this memoir arms one woman with the courage and know-how for what's next in her life, then my bruises and scars were well worth it. We as women need guidance, (and quite frankly: license) to think beyond what conventional teaching has taught us. We need the green light to GO in the boys' world, while still being able to kick our feet up with our female counterparts and coexist in both spaces authentically. What Mommy Never Told You provides alternative options in order to create success on your terms once the guidance, direction, and checklists of society expire. This book is meant to be an exploration of a woman's journey beyond the general rules and guidelines of adolescence, opening up a broader lens to the possibilities of the next stage in life. To the woman who is looking for the next thing in her life... yearning for the courage to get it done, I say... the time is N.O.W. (No Other Way).

Download or read book What Mama Taught Me written by Tony Brown and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-05-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of viewers of Tony Brown's Journal, the longest-running series on PBS, know Tony Brown as an advocate for self-reliance and self-enrichment. Now, in his most personal book yet, he introduces us to the woman who brought him up and taught him the seven core values he lives by to this day: reality, knowledge, race, history, truth, patience, and love. What Mama Taught Me states that only by understanding one's place in the world can one become free in mind and spirit, which is the path to true success. Brown argues that by following other people's rules, we betray ourselves and our desires, resulting in a vicious cycle of disconnection, unhappiness, and spiritual death. Enhanced by the homespun storytelling he heard as a child, this is Brown's personal recipe for achievement, imparting values that provide a blueprint for reaching success and happiness -- on one's own terms.

Download or read book The Better Mom written by Ruth Schwenk and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mothering is messy. Our joy and hope in raising children doesn’t change the reality that being a mom can be frustrating, stressful, and tiring. But just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood to shape us. In The Better Mom, author Ruth Schwenk, herself a mother of four children, encourages us with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess. We don’t need to settle for surviving our kids’ childhood. We can grow through it. With refreshing and heartfelt honesty Ruth emboldens moms to: Find freedom and walk confidently in purpose Create a God-honoring home environment Overcome unhealthy and destructive emotions such as anger, anxiety, and more Avoid glorifying the mess of mom-ing or idolizing perfection Cultivate life-giving friendships At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. We don’t have to settle for either being apathetic or struggling to be perfect. Both visions of motherhood go too far. Ruth offers a better option. She says, “It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."

Book excerpt: What Mama Never Told Me about Men, Motherhood, and Marriage: Volume I – Men is an insightful book that will accompany women of all ages and all walks of life as they make their way through the tough realities of life. Not all parents and guardians are comfortable talking with their daughters about delicate topics such as boys and sex. Most women grow up wishing someone would have told them what they never knew to make quality decisions regarding men, motherhood, and marriage. It may be a case where the information was shared but was never really heard, understood, or implied. Each chapter in What Mama Never Told Me about Men, will highlight a signifi cant challenge when dealing with the male species, with the eye-opening story, “Leah’s Heartache,” interwoven in between. With chapters containing biblical scripture references to ponder on, it discusses the real reason why parents are scared to have their children engage in premarital sex, why “soul ties” are blissful if experienced at the right time but dangerous if done otherwise, and how men’s temperament and childhood traumas affect their relationships and ultimately marriages. Brace yourself and open your eyes to an edifying, thought-provoking account of how men, sex, and even religion should be well-comprehended by women before they make some of the most important decisions they will ever make in life. What Mama Never Told Me about “Men” is volume 1 of a 3 part series.

Download or read book The Little Virtues written by Natalia Ginzburg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of her finest and best-known short essays, Natalia Ginzburg explores both the mundane details and inescapable catastrophes of personal life with the grace and wit that have assured her rightful place in the pantheon of classic mid-century authors. Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule; or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize. "A glowing light of modern Italian literature . . . Ginzburg's magic is the utter simplicity of her prose, suddenly illuminated by one word that makes a lightning streak of a plain phrase. . . . As direct and clean as if it were carved in stone, it yet speaks thoughts of the heart.' — The New York Times Book Review
