Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landing in soft snow caused me to pitch forward violently onto my head and neck, my feet shooting overhead like a scorpion's tail. With the devastating force of the impact, the entire weight of my body went straight to my neck, bending my head so far backward, something had to give. It buckled. My neck dislocated and snapped so fast, it opened in the front like a Pez candy-dispensing machine. My spinal cord severed, and I didn't realize I landed feet first-all I felt was the massive uppercut as my face hit the ground. It was like no other crash-I couldn't stop falling. I couldn't bounce back. I couldn't self-erect, getting back to my feet. Then, nothing . . . At age 26, when Mike Shaw, freestyle skiing coach, stepped into the sunshine on a crisp Colorado morning, it never entered his mind by three-thirty that afternoon his life-as he knew it-would be over. Working with his team at the 2013 World Cup Competition at Copper Mountain, a catastrophic injury derailed his life's trajectory forever. "You'll never walk again," one doctor told him, knowing the prognosis wasn't good. Yet, with a mindset of courage, resilience, and gratitude, Mike proved his doctor wrong and, within three months, he took his first steps. Within the year? Skiing. Now an international speaker, mentor, and coach armed with an 'attitude of gratitude, ' Never Part of the Plan chronicles the author's journey as he conquers a debilitating spinal cord injury, making the most out of life's unexpected curveball. Dedicating his book to all readers, his experience is proof all of us can overcome and thrive when faced with adversity. All it takes is courage, resilience, and . . . gratitude.

Book excerpt: God is still writing your story What happens when life doesn't turn out the way you always imagined?

In Not Part of the Plan, they open up their lives in the most raw and relatable way, sharing their own journeys through unexpected seasons of infertility, singleness, loss, and heartbreak. But in the midst of it all, they've learned that true hope doesn't come from getting the life you always dreamed of but from trusting God with the life He has for you and believing that His plans truly are good. Sister, wherever you are on your journey, your life has purpose and meaning in Christ, and thriving is possible--right now. "If life has thrown you a curveball and your future feels hard and scary, Not Part of the Plan is the book for you. You'll laugh. You'll cry. But most of all, you'll appreciate the advice of these wise friends as they teach you how to walk through pain and uncertainty and lead you toward a hope-filled tomorrow."--Mary A. Kassian, author of Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild "Bethany and Kristen address the struggles we face when life takes unwanted detours and show us through Scripture and experience that our ultimate hope is found in Christ. Even in life's disappointments, we can be completely confident in God's greater plan that is for our good and for His glory."--Gretchen Saffles, author of The Well-Watered Woman, founder of Well-Watered Women

Book excerpt: While given no reason young Saina was banished to the Sulatin monastery. In a decade since, his only achievement-unknown to anyone-is his ability to enter the divine world of Goddessoma. One night in that world he is shown an unthinkable war raging in his homeland Satamabode. Meanwhile his dying father leaves him a sacred scroll for an equally sacred mission-halt the war's devastation and restore the Ten Abodes. It sounded good, but quickly Saina is stripped of the scroll by the ferines in the Garland Forest, shunned by his Sulatin masters in Prayadevale, and severed from his only ally in neighboring Ryadabode. He's not a warrior, not a leader-only a lone young monk, and no one believes can do it. He dare not say his only chance requires capturing aetheric powers hidden in the Body of the Goddess. Welcome to Goddessoma is one of the forceful and fascinating metaphysical fantasy novels in TM White's Goddess Trilogy.

Download or read book ReQovery written by Katrina Vaillancourt and published by Katrina Vaillancourt & GreenSong Press. This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unraveling QAnon: A Survivor’s Guide to Recovery Over the past two years, Katrina Vaillancourt shared her story of entry into and exit from the QAnon conspiracy community with me for a book on which I was working. Her account is brimming with curiosity, insight, and vulnerability. So many of us have stereotypes of people who follow QAnon and other conspiracy theories, and we forget the very human reasons that people turn in this direction, which offers equally human strategies to bring them back. Through her radical openness, Katrina opens a door for those curious enough to listen instead of judging. Her message can help many." ~ Jamil Zaki, Stanford Professor of Psychology and author of War for Kindness and Hope for Cynics In the throes of the 2020 pandemic, Katrina Vaillancourt, a dedicated Bernie Sanders supporter and seasoned Nonviolent Communication trainer, found herself unexpectedly spiraling down the rabbit hole of QAnon. "ReQovery: How I Tumbled Down the QAnon Rabbit Hole and Climbed Out" is her candid, vulnerable account of the six tumultuous months she spent ensnared by the "Pastel Q" phenomenon—a journey marked by shock, elation, deep disillusionment, and ultimately recovery. Navigating through intense emotional highs and devastating lows, Katrina's story is not just about the allure of a conspiracy that captivated millions worldwide, but also about the profound psychological toll it takes. With the world turned upside down by a global crisis, she delves into how sophisticated social media algorithms exploit our deepest fears and desires, creating echo chambers that reinforce extreme ideologies. Through her expertise in Nonviolent Communication, Katrina offers a rare glimpse into the subtle yet powerful ways our everyday interactions can either fuel division or foster understanding. "ReQovery"goes beyond a personal saga— it is a crucial guide laden with insights into dismantling the psychological traps set by movements like QAnon and reclaiming a sense of reality grounded in present-moment truths. This book is an indispensable resource for anyone struggling to understand a loved one lost to QAnon, providing not just context but also hope and practical solutions for bridging seemingly insurmountable ideological divides. Join Katrina on her journey back to rationality, equipped with empathy, clarity, and a heartfelt roadmap for healing. Topics Thoroughly Covered in ReQovery: • How could anyone intelligent fall into QAnon? • How on earth could a Bernie supporter flip to supporting Trump? • How did she get out? • What did other’s do that helped her come around? • What were the turning points that helped her question QAnon? And so much more ReQovery is a must-read for anyone personally touched by or studying the challenges of misinformation and ideological extremism dividing our nation and harming the mental health of our people. As a scholar deeply committed to engaging our differences together in deliberation rooted in the fundamental American values we share, I find Katrina’s path to be a powerful call to embrace our shared humanity. ~ Barbara A. McGraw, JD, PhD, professor of social ethics, law, public life and politics; author of Rediscovering America’s Sacred Ground: Public Religion and Pursuit of the Good in a Pluralistic America. As a certified Nonviolent Communication trainer for over two decades, and a mediator before that, I struggled when two dear friends fell into QAnon in 2020. I had tried everything and still these relationships were suffering. When Katrina reached out to me for support during her recovery, our conversations provided mutual benefit. I offered her empathy, and she gave me insights into QAnon that I couldn't have gained otherwise. This education helped me rebuild and maintain close friendships with those holding different worldviews than my own. May the wisdom of Katrina’s personal experience of recovery, as shared in this book, be a beacon of light for all who are seeking to restore relational bonds in the wake of QAnon. ~ Jim Manske, Nonviolent Communication assessor, trainer & mediator As an expert in neuroscience, trauma, and Compassionate Communication, I believe Katrina’s story is essential to creating compassion and connection across political divides, especially divisions caused by QAnon. ~ Sarah Peyton, certified NVC trainer, founder of Resonance Healing, author of The Antiracist Heart

Book excerpt: Kade is a blue-collar billionaire romance with a slightly unhinged heroine, great family vibes, and all the feels. It's the first in the Brash Brothers series. So maybe I have a bit of a hero complex. And more money than god. Those two things combined make me irresistible to every messed up woman in the city. Been there, done that, failed to put humpty back together again. I’m done. No more broken, needy women for me. Except God must have a sense of humor, because I find a woman sleeping in a broken down car in front of my garage in the middle of the night. I should send her on her way. Except she’s a little unhinged. And sassy. And has thick, biteable thighs. So of course, I give her a job, and a place to stay. I’ve got a problem, alright. I already told you that. But no way is her sunshine going to draw me in. I’m done with women. Yeah, I don’t believe it either. CW: I write about characters from hard places. This book touches on addiction, loss of a parent, cancer, domestic violence. But mostly, this is a book about people learning how to get out of their own way so they can love and be loved.

Download or read book An Autoethnography of Becoming A Qualitative Researcher written by Trude Klevan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Autoethnography of Becoming a Qualitative Researcher chronicles Trude Klevan's personal experiences of her doctoral journey, with Alec Grant as an external academic resource and friend, and her subsequent entry into the neoliberal higher education environment. It gives a personal and intimate view of what it's like to become an academic. This book is constructed as an extended dialogue which frequently utilizes email exchanges as data. Firmly grounded in the epistemic resource of friendship, it tells the story of the authors’ symbiotic academic growth around their critical understanding and knowledge of qualitative inquiry and the purposes of such knowledge. The tale told is of the unfolding of a close and mutually beneficial relationship, entangled within sometimes facilitative, sometimes problematic, environmental contexts. It uses these experiences to describe, explore, and critically interrogate some underlying themes of the philosophies, politics, and practices of qualitative inquiry, and of higher education. Disrupting conventional academic norms through their work, friendship, and correspondence, Trude and Alec offer a critical and epistemological view of what it's like to become a qualitative researcher, and how we can do things differently in higher education. This book is suitable for all researchers and students, their supervisors, mentors, and teachers, and academics of qualitative research and autoethnography, and those interested in critiques of higher education.
