Download or read book Pops written by Craig Melvin and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply personal exploration of fatherhood, addiction, and resiliency from Craig Melvin, news anchor of NBC’s Today show. For Craig Melvin this book is more an investigation than a memoir. It's an opportunity to better understand his father; to interrogate his family's legacy of addiction and despair but also transformation and redemption; and to explore the challenges facing all dads--including Craig himself, a father of two young children. Growing up in Columbia, South Carolina, Craig had a fraught relationship with his father. Lawrence Melvin was a distant, often absent parent due to his drinking as well as his job working the graveyard shift at a postal facility. Watching sports and tinkering on Lawrence's beloved (but unreliable) 1973 Pontiac LeMans were two ways father and son connected, but as Lawrence's drinking spiraled out of control, their bond was stretched to the breaking point. Fortunately, Craig had a loving, fiercely protective mother who held the family together. He also had a series of surrogate father figures in his life--uncles, teachers, workplace mentors--who by their examples helped him figure out the kind of person and father he wanted to be. Pops is the story of all these men--and of the inspiring fathers Craig has met reporting his "Dads Got This Series" on the Today show. Pops is also the story of Craig and Lawrence Melvin's long journey to reconciliation and understanding, and of how all these experiences and encounters have informed Craig's understanding of his own role as a dad.

Download or read book Pop Your Bubbles written by Saloni S Jain and published by FanatiXx Publication. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each person harbors a multitude of bubbles, pre- conceived either by the strokes of a friend's imagination or by the endless loops of their own thoughts. Every idea, every concept, every belief you have nurtured over the years has birthed a bubble of its own. These bubbles possess a unique characteristic they either burst on their own, require a gentle nudge from the wind, or a precise prick to pop. This book is ready with a needle of other perceptions to prick, if you allow. I shall let the good bubbles pass, the redundant bubbles wither and burst the unnecessary ones. Because, being imprisoned in the superfluous bubbles will make your life difficult, ruin your peace and choke you. This is what "POP YOUR BUBBLES" is all about offering a broader perspective, peeling away layers of thought so you can see the world through a different lens, just as I once did. I have observed, experienced, learnt, and now, I am here to impart this wisdom. It's not magic, I'll unveil the secret recipe and ignite magic within you, because I understand who you are."

Book excerpt: Which force was more likely to have penetrated your essence and shaped your destiny if you were born in February of 1964: the orbital shufflings of Mars and Jupiter, or the explosive rise of the stars called the Beatles? By linking your personality and potential to the star who ruled the pop universe at the moment of your birth, Popstrology offers an entirely new approach to illuminating your spirit and your soul. Could the roots of your chronic restlessness lie in the fact that you are a Commodore born in the Year of Debby Boone?

Could Britney Spears have been born under the influence of anything other than Olivia Newton-John's "Physical"? No, she couldn't.

Beefcake & Mistakes But when Juliet's beloved grandmother has a stroke, Tanner agrees to pretend to be a happily married couple one last time, just until she's well enough to handle the news that her favorite couple is calling it quits for good. But seven years of separation have changed a lot of things. Is it enough for the once-bitten-twice-shy Tanner to reconsider and risk a retake on the one woman who never stopped loving him? Beefcake & Snowflakes Gina had a crush on Darien since before she could remember until the day he'd humiliated her in school. Fifteen years later, the sight of him still leaves her cold. Exotic dancer Darien has come back to town to set a few things to rights. One of those is the mess he made for Gina during their teenage years... and maybe rekindle the flames they'd once had. But the only way to melt the snow around Gina's heart is to turn up the heat, both on the job... and off. Sweet as Candy Candy has been misjudged her entire life, thanks to the blonde hair, pretty face, and kickass body Mother Nature has bestowed upon her, and, in her experience, most men can't see beyond them to the woman inside. So when sexy exotic dancer Jaden Carter offers her some dopey pick-up line, she's not interested—well, in the pick-up line. In him? Totally different story. But only the man who appreciates her brains will be the guy to win her heart. But then Jaden proves he's more than a pretty face, and she realizes no one should ever judge a book by its (very sexy) cover.
