Download or read book Rock Solid written by Tim Raines and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a decade, Tim Raines patrolled left field for the nascent Montreal Expos, igniting the powder keg of what would become one of the most innovative, entertaining, and talented teams of the modern era. Raines, nicknamed "Rock," hit and stole his way into the hearts of baseball fans across North America. The seven-time all-star tore through the Expos record books before moving on to the Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, and Florida Marlins, ultimately earning three World Series rings. And now Raines sit on the cusp of entering Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. But it wasn't always easy playing for the upstart Montreal Expos or being Tim Raines. Raines' performance dipped in 1982, and at the end of the season, Raines entered treatment for substance abuse for cocaine addiction. To avoid leaving the drug in his locker, Raines would carry it in his hip pocket, and would slide headfirst when stealing bases. He used cocaine before games, in his car, after games, and on some occasions between innings in the clubhouse. Raines would later testify at the infamous Pittsburgh drug trials, in September 1985, and would ultimately resume his career at a high level and once again become one of baseball's brightest stars, on and off the field. This memoir entails the life and playing career of one of the sport's all-time greatest leaders and personalities, an honest, raw, and compelling tale of triumph and redemption.

Download or read book Black Aperture written by Matt Rasmussen and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his moving debut collection, Matt Rasmussen faces the tragedy of his brother's suicide, refusing to focus on the expected pathos, blurring the edge between grief and humor. In "Outgoing," the speaker erases his brother's answering machine message to save his family from "the shame of dead you / answering calls." In other poems, once-ordinary objects become dreamlike. A buried light bulb blooms downward, "a flower / of smoldering filaments." A refrigerator holds an evening landscape, "a tinfoil lake," "vegetables / dying in the crisper." Destructive and redemptive, Black Aperture opens to the complicated entanglements of mourning: damage and healing, sorrow and laughter, and torment balanced with moments of relief.

Download or read book Existential Psychotherapy and the Interpretation of Dreams written by Clark E. Moustakas and published by Jason Aronson, Incorporated. This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existential Psychotherapy and the Interpretation of Dreams, by Clark Moustakas, presents a fresh model for the effective integration of dreamwork in humanistically oriented psychotherapy. The existential-phenomenological emphasis opens channels of conscious awareness that enable people in therapy and in everyday living to awaken to their own visions, hopes, and dreams. The internal shadows and fires of individual consciousness come to light in therapy and in dreams and invite self-resources and self-directions for change in self-growth and in significant relationships. An Existential Model is presented in detail as a guide to effective psychotherapy. With slight modification, the Model is also applicable to an understanding and interpretation of one's own dreams as well as the dreams of people who are in therapy. Through existential awareness and reflective thinking, the reader is encouraged to discover constructive challenges and paradoxes that connect dreams with waking life and lead to the discovery of creative possibilities for work and living. The existential approach to psychotherapy and dream interpretation is explicated through examples of phenomenological interviewing, use of description in lifting out horizons and core meanings, and analysis of core themes that intimately embrace the self. Existential philosophy recognizes mystery encompasses the unknown and unpredictable and asserts that regardless of past suffering and impoverishment, the potentials for health and well-being are within reach. The Existential Model offers a practical methodology and a set of guides for achieving these goals and finding a future that moves beyond the restraints and rejections that have resulted from choosing the wrong path for identity expression and selfhood. The person is the central catalyst for decision and action and retains control over her or his own destiny.

Download or read book My Life written by Sharonda Fisher and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sasha has suffered and overcame trauma in many ways. Her near-death experience is where she felt at peace and safe. As far as what happened once her heart stopped, she has no recollection of that. Nothing could have prepared her for motherhood. Once she realized she was responsible for another human being, she became motivated. She sees it as inspiring, purpose-giving, and exhausting. It motivated her to become a better person so her children would have all they need. She worked ten times harder to get where she wanted to be. Her and her husband celebrated their unity in public proclaiming they are meant to be until death. Couples vow to become friends, partners, and lovers. Lies, deceit, infidelity, and division were not in her plan. Her husband’s inappropriate advances and molestation charges had repercussions. She was left aiding the trauma he had caused. She taught her children how to be strong, move on, learn, and use their feelings about this traumatic experience to drive them in a better direction. Her resilience and determination to keep going comes from self- belief. “God is faithful and honor the faith of his chosen.”
