Book excerpt: "This book is a testament to the power we have in the creation of our own lives and the lives of all living things in the world around us. Every step we take, we are on an unconscious quest for the pieces of our selves that we left behind so long ago. We have allowed our inner wisdom to be overshadowed by those who we choose to vies as the directors or authorities in our lives. The release of our own power, in favor of what we believe is expected of us by whomever we label our authority, binds us in chains. Our torment and suffering become far reaching and can actually destroy us, leaving us ablivious to the true reality in our own lives and teh role we play in its creation. On our path to wholeness we are unaware that we first seek that which we deny in ourselves, leaving us in pain or numb, longing for the fullness of love. It is only when we embrace every piece of ourselves that we will rediscover that from the beginning, we were always whole and complete and we need not journey away from ourselves to find peace. This book defines one person's journey inward, leading to teh enlightened path where relentless suffering comes to an end, and reveals the key to living a life fully free from Fear and Control. This revelation...forever allows us to experience the Love and Freedom that has always been awaiting us. In finding our sholeness and freedom within ourselves, we discover something even more powerful; we realize that each of us as individuals is a reflection of the world as a whole. It is our decision to remain asleep, unconscious to the abuse we allow in our lives, that keeps us fragmented and wounded. It is time to awaken to all pieces of ourselves, and unite them in wholeness to rediscover that omnipotent power within us, and remember how to ignite that power to create an entire world-at peace."--back cover.
Download or read book Lighter Than My Shadow written by Katie Green and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poignant, heart-lifting graphic memoir about anorexia, eating disorders and the journey to recovery Like most kids, Katie was a picky eater. She’d sit at the table in silent protest, hide uneaten toast in her bedroom, listen to parental threats that she’d have to eat it for breakfast. But in any life a set of circumstance can collide, and normal behaviour might soon shade into something sinister, something deadly. Lighter Than My Shadow is a hand-drawn story of struggle and recovery, a trip into the black heart of a taboo illness, an exposure of those who are so weak as to prey on the vulnerable, and an inspiration to anybody who believes in the human power to endure towards happiness. ‘Even at its most heartbreaking it never feels sombre ... Inspiring, plucky and, in the end, consoling, it’s hard to put down’ Observer

Download or read book I Came As a Shadow written by John Thompson and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK The long-awaited autobiography from Georgetown University’s legendary coach, whose life on and off the basketball court threw America’s unresolved struggle with racial justice into sharp relief. John Thompson was never just a basketball coach and I Came As A Shadow is categorically not just a basketball autobiography. After five decades at the center of race and sports in America, Thompson—the iconic NCAA champion, Black activist, and educator—was ready to make the private public at last, and he completed this autobiography shortly before his death in the historically tumultuous summer of 2020. Chockful of stories and moving beyond mere stats (three Final Fours, four-time national coach of the year, seven Big East championships, 97 percent graduation rate), Thompson’s book drives us through his childhood under Jim Crow segregation to our current moment of racial reckoning. We experience riding shotgun with Celtics icon Red Auerbach and coaching NBA Hall of Famers like Patrick Ewing and Allen Iverson. What were the origins of the the phrase “Hoya Paranoia”? You’ll see. And parting his veil of secrecy, Thompson brings us into his negotiation with a D.C. drug kingpin in his players’ orbit in the 1980s, as well as behind the scenes of his years on the Nike board. Thompson’s mother was a teacher who had to clean houses because of racism in the nation's capital. His father could not read or write. Their son grew up to be a man with his own larger-than-life statue in a building that bears his family’s name on a campus once kept afloat by the selling of 272 enslaved Black people. This is a great American story, and John Thompson’s experience sheds light on many of the issues roiling our nation. In these pages, he proves himself to be the elder statesman whose final words college basketball and the country need to hear. I Came As A Shadow is not a swan song, but a bullhorn blast from one of America’s most prominent sons.

Despite the alarm bells in her head warning her about history repeating itself, she is drawn toward the forbidden once again-even though this time it could consume her. Lucien North's past is darker than the ink on his skin, a reminder of a time when survival was a fight to the death. Seducing his beautiful professor wasn't supposed to be part of his plan to put it behind him, but there's something about Eleanor that's gotten hold of him and won't let go. Together they light up the night, but will their powerful desire lead them to love-or drag them both to the brink of disaster? Warning: Contains a younger man so hot he might scorch your fingertips, and forbidden lust so tempting, there's no point in trying to resist. Check your inhibitions at the door-it's WTFery 101 and class is in session.
