Download or read book The Bag Lady Papers written by Alexandra Penney and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 2008, my worst nightmare came true . . . How do you pick yourself up after the one thing you most feared happens to you? Alexandra Penney's revealing, spirited, and ultimately redemptive true story shows us how. Throughout her life, Alexandra Penney's worst fear was of becoming a bag lady. Even as she worked several jobs while raising a son as a single mother, wrote a bestselling advice book, and became editor in chief of Self magazine, she was haunted by the image of herself alone, bankrupt, and living on the street. She even went to therapy in an attempt to alleviate the worry that all she had worked for could crumble. And then, one day, that's exactly what happened. Penney had taken a friend's advice and invested nearly everything she had ever earned--all of her savings--with Bernie Madoff. One day she was successful and wealthy; the next she had almost nothing. Suddenly, at an age when many Americans retire, Penney saw her worst nightmares coming true. Based on her popular blog posts on The Daily Beast, this memoir chronicles Penney's struggle to cope with the devastating financial and emotional fallout of being cheated out of her life savings and illuminates her journey back to sanity, solvency, and security. "I will work harder than I ever have before--which was pretty hard indeed--and see what happens. I have the feeling something good will come of it: tough, challenging work and laserlike focus have always paid off for me. . . . Was it better to have it and then lose it? Yes, yes, yes! Even though I lived with horrible bag lady fears of losing it all, now that those financial fears have materialized, I'm in pretty good shape and looking to what's next. Experiences -- good and bad, exciting and boring, tragic and absurd -- make up a life. Not to have lived to the fullest is the saddest, most irresponsible life I can think of." --- from The Bag Lady Papers

Download or read book Our Bodies Not Ourselves written by Kathryn A. Kirigin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1970, the best-seller Our Bodies Ourselves was published. The focus of the authors, the Boston Health Collective, was on the youthful female body: on reproduction, sexuality, genitalia, intimacy and relationships in the context of North American cultural expectations. Our Bodies Not Ourselves is also about the female body—but on women aging from menopause to 100. Like its predecessor, Our Bodies Not Ourselves covers sexuality, genitalia, intimacy, gender norms and relationships. But the aging woman's body has many other issues, from head to toe, from skeleton to skin, and from sleep to motion. The book, an ethnography and Western cultural history of aging and gender, draws upon history, culture and social media, the authors’ own experiences as women of 70, and conversations and correspondence with more than two hundred women aged from 60-ish to 100. They consider the cultural and structural frameworks for contemporary aging: the long sweep of history, gendered cultural norms and the vast commercial and medical marketplaces for maintaining and altering the aging body. Part I, The Private Body, focuses on the embodied experiences of aging within our private households. Part II, The Public Body, explores weight, height, and adornment as old women appear among others. Part III, The Body With Others, sets the embodied experiences of aging women within their sexual and social relationships.

According to a recent Nielsen report, women will control two-thirds of American consumer wealth in less than a decade.

Download or read book Summary of Martha Beck s Steering by Starlight written by Everest Media, and published by Everest Media LLC. This book was released on 2022-06-11T22:59:00Z with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first person to go into a situation is often carrying a shotgun. This is because the suspects have a very intense fight-or-flight reaction when they first see law enforcement officials. They are usually doing drugs as well as selling them, and this makes them about as violent and unpredictable as humans get. #2 You should be able to identify and dissolve most of the mind clouds that keep you from seeing your own North Star. This takes a lot of practice, but it will bring you inner peace and help you build your outward empire. #3 What we think would bring us happiness often won’t bring us the satisfaction we seek. What we’re really after when we yearn for something is a feeling state. In the spaces below, write a word or two that best describes the feeling state you’d get from having each of the things you want. #4 The four feeling states we all desire are peace, security, belonging, and comfort. We think we’ll get these feelings by getting anything from an Olympic gold medal to our parents’ approval. But external circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.
