Download or read book No Magic for ME written by Lisette Skeet and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was in my early thirties when I fell ill with myalgic encephalomyelitis. It's extraordinary that one of my main pointers to recovery came in a leaflet from the ME Association, where it acknowledged that while there is no known medical cure, the patients who make the best recovery have paid attention to their diet! Since then, over thirty years ago, I got better relatively fast. However, the ME Association has become a far bigger concern, since it still insists there is no cure for the condition. It produces a quarterly magazine full of information, but still promises no way to get better. I relate my own experiences, discussing how hard it has been to be with those who are unable to comprehend my long illness, which lasted between two and three years before I achieved wellness independently of the medical profession. There were many months when I had no idea what my condition was, and I was confused. Even after diagnosis, I remained ill, getting worse until I could hardly walk. Then a gift arrived from an auntie. It was a bundle of books, some of which were about good nutrition. Information from the ME Association fell into place. I devised a better diet, took care of myself, and began to recover. I struggled with the recovery process and kept on researching. I learned the value of vitamins and an important process related to repetitive eating. I was able to return to activities such as swimming and horse riding, but most wonderful of all, I could care for my two small sons without needing help.

In The Little Red Wagon, prolific business leader and public servant Ron Simmons invites you to leave ordinary behind and glide into the richly meaningful life you were intended to live.

Download or read book Don The Snake Prudhomme My Life Beyond the 1320 written by Elana Scherr and published by CarTech Inc. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don "The Snake" Prudhomme reveals for the first time ever his incredible life and career on and off of the drag strip.
Imagine spending a year with Don "The Snake" Prudhomme, having coffee together and talking about his life, his racing, his friends, and his family. He’d tell you about how he rose from being a high school drop-out who was painting cars to a respected Top Fuel dragster driver and successful businessman. You’d hear how he toured the country with Tommy Ivo and "The Hawaiian" Roland Leong, racing all the legends from "Big Daddy" Don Garlits to "The Golden Greek" [Chris] Karamesines. He'd say how he met Tom McEwen and recall how they became the Snake and the Mongoose, leading to a career in Funny Cars that netted him four championships in a row. He'd talk about the thrill of first wins and owning his own teams but also the struggles of bad seasons, crashes and fires, broken parts, and broken contracts. Along the way, he’d speak about the people in his life, such as engine-builder Keith Black and NHRA president Wally Parks, and those who were killed in the wild and unpredictable sport of nitro racing. It wouldn’t be only racing, though. Prudhomme would share lessons he learned about business and life from such varied sources as a neighbor in Granada Hills to Ford GT40 driver Dan Gurney. He also would talk about the importance of family: how his wife, Lynn, and daughter, Donna, changed his world and how finding out about his African-American roots opened his eyes to a culture and inheritance he’d always wanted. This is the experience you’ll get in Don "The Snake" Prudhomme: My Life Beyond the 1320.
Download or read book Not the Whole Story written by Lea Caragata and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not the Whole Story is a compilation of sixteen stories narrated by single mothers in their own way and about their own lives. Each story is unique, but the same issues appear again and again. Abuse, parenting as single mothers, challenges in the labour market, mental health and addictions issues, a scarcity of quality childcare, immigration and status vulnerability, struggles with custody, and poverty—these factors, combined with a lack of support, contribute to their continued struggles. The themes that recur across stories illustrate that the issues the women face are not just about individual struggle; they demonstrate that major issues in Canada’s social system have been neglected in public policy. In order for these issues to be addressed we need to challenge the flawed public policies and the negative discourse that continue to marginalize single mothers—in terms of the opportunities in their own lives and in terms of how they are understood by other Canadians. The first-person narratives of the struggles and issues faced by low-income single mothers provide narrative richness and are augmented by introductory and concluding chapters that draw the narrative themes together and offer overarching discussion and analysis.
