Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orange Moments is the true story of the tragic death of Laura's eleven-year-old son and how she was able to lean into God rather than turn away at a time when there were no answers and explanation for how or why God let it happen. On a typical Sunday afternoon, following morning mass, the day after Tristan's eleventh birthday party, Laura and her husband found themselves living their worst nightmare. Laura and her husband kept their boys safe; as parents, it was their top priority and responsibility. After years of swimming lessons, wearing helmets, setting boundaries on the driveway so as to not go into the street, and discussing rules about not talking to strangers or wandering off, they had not prepared for this. A must read if you have ever found yourself in a situation that has left you broken in a thousand pieces on the floor, asking God, "Why?" Laura states, "It's not if""it's when something like this happens to you." We all have family and friends we love, and death is inevitable. Laura claims her faith is the single most important reason why she's still standing and encourages her readers to develop a relationship with Christ for endurance and perseverance. Overcome with grief, Laura's writing is honest, vulnerable, and raw as she offers a glimpse into the daily struggle of losing a precious child. Follow Laura along the path she and her family endured for the first year following her son's death. Grief's stages do not happen in order, and there is no checklist to get through it. Laura navigates through her grief and all its ups and downs with her faith, the support of friends, family, church, and exercise. Orange Moments provides hope and inspiration for anyone suffering a loss. Laura believes God does not cause bad things to happen. It's easy to blame God, yet He's the one working within our circumstances while the evil one continues to break us down and tear us apart. Fight back, endure, have hope, and find your orange moment.

Download or read book Life Other Passing Moments written by Victor J. Banis and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of shorter pieces, Victor J. Banis demonstrates once again the astonishing breadth of his talent, covering virtually every facet of the human experience with astonishing brevity and clarity. Here are pathos and heartache, love and horror, irony -- and humor, especially humor, dry and wry and roll-on-the-floor-clutching-your-sides funny. It would be a hard man indeed who could read the adventures of his Underground Diner -- which take up much of the last half of the book and aptly skewer the ubiquitous and often pretentious food writing column -- without guffawing aloud.
Download or read book Old Lesbians and Their Brief Moments of Fame written by J. Ross and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-08-23 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Lesbians and their Brief Moments of Fame: An Anthology From many parts of the USA, and from various walks of life, we are all old lesbians who want to tell our stories. Some of us have been lesbians all of our lives, and others later came out later in life. Many of our contributors thanked us for inviting them to tell their stories. We asked each woman to introduce herself, and select one moment in her life that stands out as her Brief Moment of Fame (their own definition of fame). Why did we call ourselves Old lesbians and not older lesbians? We debated this for a while since some women in their 50s and 60s considered themselves either middle aged or older, but not old. They still fear the word old. Ageism is another word added to the list that identifies hurt, fear, and discrimination. Sexism still holds power in Americas patriarchal society. Sexual orientation is on the bottom of the list. The history of our past still reaches out to culturally bind us as women earning less than me, nurturing children alone, and tending the home. However, within this list, we are feminists, lesbians, and now finally old. We are the many who have found our way, recognized who we are, and will celebrate our lives. We took charge of our lives, and embrace Old as a virtue of earned respect as we continue this celebration. We believe our country, too, will learn to respect Old by taking pride in our experience, knowledge, and especially our equal humanity. Some of our stories touch on historical movements of the past 50 or 60 years in which lesbians have been involved: the anti-war movement, gay rights, AIDS care and awareness, lesbian voices, (gay authors, gay newspapers, and bookstores). Now we have civil unions, marriages, lesbians in sports, and lesbian musicians, etc, etc. There are obviously many more old lesbians out there with stories to tell. Maybe some of them will want to contribute to Volume 2. We hope you enjoy reading these colorful and varied stories as much as we did.

This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My entire life has been one big search for “the meaning of life.” Where do we come from, why are we here, and where do we go when we die? John Muir taught that “the clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness,” so I took his advice and started exploring. I learned that by practicing meditation and the art of mindfulness in Nature we can connect with the life all around us. The lessons we learn in the wild can help us tap into the sacred mystical dimension of this extraordinary natural world in which we live and share with the entire biosphere.

Book excerpt: A man wakes up in an unknown landscape, injured and alone. He used to live in a place called California, but how did he wind up here with a head wound and a bottle of pills in his pocket? He navigates his surroundings, one rough shape at a time. Here lies a pipe, there a reed that could be carved into a weapon, beyond a city he once lived in. He could swear his daughter’s name began with a J, but what was it, exactly? Then he encounters an old man, a crow, and a boy—and realizes that nothing is what he thought it was, neither the present nor the past. He can’t even recall the features of his own face, and wonders: who am I? Harrowing and haunting but also humorous in the face of the unfathomable, David Yoon’s City of Orange is a novel about reassembling the things that make us who we are, and finding the way home again.
Download or read book Imagic Moments written by Lee Schweninger and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Indigenous North American film Native Americans tell their own stories and thereby challenge a range of political and historical contradictions, including egregious misrepresentations by Hollywood. Although Indians in film have long been studied, especially as characters in Hollywood westerns, Indian film itself has received relatively little scholarly attention. In Imagic Moments Lee Schweninger offers a much-needed corrective, examining films in which the major inspiration, the source material, and the acting are essentially Native. Schweninger looks at a selection of mostly narrative fiction films from the United States and Canada and places them in historical and generic contexts. Exploring films such as Powwow Highway, Smoke Signals, and Skins, he argues that in and of themselves these films constitute and in fact emphatically demonstrate forms of resistance and stories of survival as they talk back to Hollywood. Self-representation itself can be seen as a valid form of resistance and as an aspect of a cinema of sovereignty in which the Indigenous peoples represented are the same people who engage in the filming and who control the camera. Despite their low budgets and often nonprofessional acting, Indigenous films succeed in being all the more engaging in their own right and are indicative of the complexity, vibrancy, and survival of myriad contemporary Native cultures.
