Download or read book No Itinerary an Invitation to Travel written by Mau Rêves and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a travelogue of dreams come true, full of emotions and feelings from a brave and empowered traveler with one singular characteristic: she is someone like you. Through her testimonies about all those corners of the world she’s visited, she invites you to achieve your dreams. Every destination is more spectacular than the one before and, at times, it seems unreal that all those extraordinary things could happen to just one person, especially when, in 2019, she drove her car all the way from Valparaíso, Chile, to Cancún, México. Tearing down myths and prejudices is a hard job for all of us, even for Mau, but after a decade full of adventures, and in the midst of this global pause, living through a pandemic, she found the time to breathe, meditate and express in this beautiful project everything that she learned, for anyone who might need it. Far from being a manual laying out which steps to follow in order to have the perfect vacation—because you can find a lot of that already on YouTube—in front of you there’s a little piece of the heart of a traveler with dreams. You’ll read about prejudices that died, about freedom and motivation for those who may need it. Something about waking up and doing, not just dreaming. “I felt fortunate to discover that the world is full of more good people than bad; traveling is worth it to find those people.”

Download or read book Daria Klimentova The Agony and the Ecstasy written by Daria Klimentova and published by Metro Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daria Klimentová's sizzling chemistry with Russian dancer Vadim Muntagirov, who is nearly 20 years her junior, has reignited the prima ballerina's career - and marks a metamorphosis after her Black Swan-style torments depicted in BBC Four's Agony and Ecstasy, the gripping documentary series aired last year. There has been a metamorphosis since the 'old ballerina' allowed herself to be browbeaten by domineering choreographer Derek Deane, and Daria and Vadim are being applauded as the new Fonteyn and Nureyev. But unlike Vadim, Daria wasn't raised in a ballet family. Born in Prague, she was talent-spotted as a gymnast when she was five. She had a ballet lesson once a week and her teacher advised her parents that ballet might offer a longer career. Daria didn't much care but changed her mind once she set her heart on dancing at Prague's National Theatre. She became a soloist there at 18, and then spent three years with the Scottish Ballet before joining the ENB in 1996. Her innate tenacity has seen Daria through some tough times. Her father, a factory mechanic and her greatest fan, died from lung cancer when she was newly arrived in London and didn't have many friends. When her only brother Radek was killed in a motorcycle accident, she cried all day then had to go on stage to dance Giselle. That was the greatest pain she has ever known, she says. It gave her a determination to enjoy life and keep ballet in perspective. Similarly when she fell pregnant with her first child, Daria explains how those around her where shocked that she was not more concerned with the upcoming performance of Sleeping Beauty. In her wonderful and insightful autobiography Daria reveals what life is like behind the scenes and how you really can have it all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her quest for independence led to total dependence on God. She resigned from the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service to become a missionary with HCJB World Radio (now Reach Beyond) on June 8, 1973, nearly 51 years ago. Though not all her questions were answered, and not all of her choices were the best, God has been her closest friend. He’s the one she depends on for guidance and sustenance. After she retired from active service with Reach Beyond in 2008 at 68 God brought Dwight Lind into her life. Though they had worked with the same ministry for decades, she knew his first wife better than Dwight. It was an unexpected surprise when God brought them together. Ron Cline married them at the Flying W Ranch in Colorado Springs on June 20, 2009. Each day she thanks the Lord for bringing them together. Together they are stronger than either of them would have been alone. Her hope is that you will thank the Lord with her for avoiding a very different life than she might have had without God.

Download or read book Why There Are No Good Men Left written by Barbara Dafoe Whitehead and published by Crown. This book was released on 2008-12-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hard-hitting, groundbreaking exploration of the new mating conditions that are changing the face of love, commitment, and marriage as we know it. A double revolution is at work in modern American love: A revolution in higher education has created the most professionally accomplished and independent generation of young women in history, and a revolution in mating has created a prolonged and perplexing search for Mr. Right. Based on extensive research and interviews, Why There Are No Good Men Left explores the romantic plight of this high-status woman with findings that are sure to rouse debate. Cultural historian, Barbara Dafoe Whitehead documents the new social climate in which the demands of work, the epidemic of cohabitation, the disappearance of courtship, and the exacting standards of educated women are leading them to stay single longer–and to find the search for a mate even harder when the time is right. From the frontlines of college, where dating is dead, to the trenches of corporate solitude, Whitehead reports on a wholesale shift that has stacked the marriage deck against the best and brightest women. The thirty-something, perplexed single woman is today’s new cultural icon. Why There Are No Good Men Left is the first book to take a serious approach to analyzing where she came from and to ask how she can realize her dreams of lasting love.

Download or read book Truths written by Prodosh Aich and published by epubli. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are what we know. We know what is handed down. Our daily life is organised by "historical narrations". Universally. To judge over the validity of "historical narrations" and of history, we must know all about those narrators of history. Today, and during the last two centuries, all narrators of history are educated in institutions created by European Christians. They narrate history incoherently though the history all over is coherent and interdependent. The libraries are flooded by incoherent deliberations and with books that are copied and pasted from other books. This is more so since the rise of the Ottoman Empire, since the blockade of the land route and beginning of search for a sea route to India, and all that has followed thereafter until our days. Why do they narrate incoherently though historical developments are coherent and interdependent by its nature? Why do they copy and paste and duplicate? To judge over the validity of "historical narrations" in their books, the authors of this book search and investigate into the acquired qualifications and "careers" of all main narrators of this history. The search is based on primary documents. The result of this search is thrilling, mysterious and stunning. We are fed by books that are based on secondary sources. These books are mere propaganda, which should be stored in "bad libraries". The result of this search has banged on the Pandora's Box and it is open now.
