Book excerpt: No Pot, No Window is a true story about my life starting in the year 1951 when I was born in Marshall, Texas, to poor, uneducated parents. This book is intended to be a motivator and inspiration to all the people struggling to survive financially as I did for the majority of my life. The expression ?no pot, no window? means you are so poor that you don?t have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out. I believe poverty, lack of education, a negative home environment, alcohol and/or drug abuse, bad judgment, a single parent home, disease/illness, and sometimes just plain bad luck keeps the syndrome of ?no pot, no window? perpetuating generation after generation. My abusive alcoholic father abandoned my two sisters and me when I was nine years old, and my codependent mother was absent from my life for many years. After my father left and my parents divorced, my mother spent the rest of her life looking for another husband to support her. She was married nine times and never did find her Prince Charming, just another drunk she met at a bar and dragged home. When I was ten years old, my mother sent my two sisters and me to live with her parents for over three years, and during this period she was completely absent from our lives. My maternal grandparents, who were survivors of the Great Depression of 1929, were very tight with their money and affection. They really did not want to raise three young children but decided we would be a valuable asset as farmhands on their five-acre farm. My mother came back into my life when I was thirteen years old and the saga of stepfathers began. At the age of sixteen, I had a job, a car, and was self-sufficient. Unfortunately, I was also a juvenile delinquent because I had little or no parental supervision. For lack of any other options, I joined the military in 1969, during the height of the Vietnam War, and began the long journey of becoming an adult. Due to my immaturity and poor judgment, I was married and divorced three times before the age of thirty and became a single parent to my only child. When I was thirty-two years old, I was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer and spent the next five years struggling to stay alive physically and financially. With the assistance of the military, I was able to obtain my bachelor of arts degree from the University of Mississippi in 1982 and a masters of forensic science from George Washington University in 1986. After twenty-one years of active duty service, I subsequently retired as a lieutenant from the United States Navy in 1993. I refused to accept and was able to overcome the ?no pot, no window? plight because of my perseverance, hard work, and most importantly, advanced education. I changed my life from sour lemons to sweet lemonade!

Book excerpt: I felt my story was not anyone's business. But the moment I realized my transparency could help someone. I decided to write. I decided to give hope to those who feel hopeless. My desire is to encourage and inspire anyone who wonders if there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. God turned my situation around, and I believe He can do the same for you. As you read, I pray God will use the words of this book to strengthen you. He loves you so much! Your connecting with me through this book is just one way for Him to remind you that you are not alone. If you fear people will judge you and choose not to understand your experience, you are not alone. If shame, guilt, confusion, fear, or embarrassment keeps you silent, you are not alone. If you are tired of hurting, tired of being depressed, and ready to be free then you are not alone. Our journeys might not be the same, but our desired destination is. We desire to be free from a past that is painful; to move forward with an undeniable confidence that life is worth living and we will live it to the fullest. Some may say, "Why are you sharing your story?" Well, I believe it is important that we talk about the great things God has done for us. Our testimony also encourages others and reminds them that healing and restoration can be theirs too! It has not always been easy sharing my story. At one point, I was embarrassed and engulfed with secrecy. I confided with only a few people during that time but mostly used journaling to process my thoughts. I'm not just going to share my story but throughout the book, a few excerpts of my journal as well. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" is a proverbial phrase used to lift your spirit and give hope when experiencing the trials of life. A friend of mine refers to my story as the "Lemonade Recipe". I was given a bag of lemons. They were extremely sour and they were not going anywhere. What was I to do with these sour lemons? I had a lot of other ingredients; some were pleasant and some were not pleasant. I longed for God to give me the best recipe possible with the ingredients I had, and that He did. He added His thoughts and ideas. From the heart of God and my heart, we unitedly developed this sweet and refreshing recipe. Now I would like to share a fresh glass with you, in my book, My Lemonade Recipe: Turning Life's Sour Experiences Into Something Sweet.

Download or read book The 21 Day Sugar Detox written by Diane Sanfilippo and published by Victory Belt Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SUGAR IS TAKING OVER OUR LIVES. But why? And is it only those sweet, refined white crystals that are causing us problems, or could there be more to the story?Let's be honest: The problem isn't just sugar itself. It's the refined, nutrient-poor carbohydrates that carry tons of calories, but no real nutrition. In our world, these are the easiest foods to grab on the go, but they leave us fat, sick, tired, and downright unhappy.The effect that sugar, "hidden" carbs, and refined, processed foods have on our bodies goes far beyond our waistlines. We can't focus, we can't sleep, we have irrational mid-afternoon cravings, and we can't even make it through the day without wanting—or needing—to prop up our energy levels with caffeine or even more sugar! What can we do to break free from this cycle? The 21-Day Sugar Detox is here to help. The 21-Day Sugar Detox is a clear-cut, effective, whole-foods-based nutrition action plan that will reset your body and your habits! Tens of thousands of people have already used this groundbreaking guide to shatter the vicious sugar stronghold. Now it's your turn! Use the easy-to-follow meal plans and more than 90 simple recipes in this book to bust a lifetime of sugar and carb cravings in just three weeks. Three levels of the program make it approachable for anyone, whether you're starting from scratch or from a gluten-free, grain-free, and/or Paleo/primal lifestyle. The 21-Day Sugar Detox even includes special modifications for athletes (endurance, CrossFit, HIIT-style, and beyond), pregnant/nursing moms, pescetarians, and people with autoimmune conditions. What you'll experience on this program will be different from a lot of other "diet" programs out there that promote extremely restricted eating; encourage you to consume only shakes, juices, or smoothies; or rely heavily on supplements and very-low-calorie or very-low-fat diets to ensure success. The goal of any detox program should be to support your body in naturally cleansing itself of substances that create negative health effects—and that's exactly what The 21-Day Sugar Detox does. By focusing on quality protein, healthy fats, and good carbs, this program will help you change not only the foods you eat, but also your habits around food, and even the way your palate reacts to sweet foods. You'll likely complete the program and continue eating this way much of the time thereafter because you'll feel so amazing. After changing your everyday eating habits, you will begin to gain a new understanding of how food works in your body—and just how much nutrition affects your entire life. There's no reason to wait!
