Jillian lives with a trusted and dependable friend, Charlie. They had a unique friendship and living arrangement that was comfortable for both of them. Jillian, although happy with the arrangement, felt that one day it would end. She wanted that typical life with a husband and family and did not see that as being a desire for Charlie’s future. He was a wealthy and handsome young man whose goal in life seemed to revolve around fun. While planning a trip in which Jillian would spend two full weeks alone, Charlie challenges her to take a guest with her. She fights the idea at first, but reluctantly after losing a bet over the subject, Charlie had gotten himself in on the trip. Secretly Jillian was pleased that events had unfolded that way. Charlie spiced up her normal trip with new and exciting adventures. When he was suddenly called away from the trip Jillian was sad. In the time left on her trip she pined for Charlie’s company. Upon arriving home she confides to Charlie that it is him that she loves and longs to be with. Charlie in return admits he feels the same.

Download or read book Deep Listening written by Jillian Pransky and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned restorative yoga teacher Jillian Pransky came to the practice of yoga to heal herself. For much of her life, she subscribed to a relentless work hard/play hard mentality, burying parts of herself beneath the pursuit of busy-ness and accomplishment. It wasn’t until a devastating personal loss and health crisis thrust her into suffocating anxiety that she stopped racing around. As she began to pause and examine her actions and emotions, she found herself able to unlock deeply seated tension in her mind and body. Since then, Pransky has been devoted to studying and teaching mindfulness practices, deep relaxation, and compassionate listening. In Deep Listening, Pransky presents her signature Calm Body, Clear Mind, Open Heart program―a 10-step journey of self-exploration that she’s taught around the world. Derived from the techniques that healed her, the practice of Deep Listening invites you to pay close attention to your body, mind, and heart. You’re taught how to tune inward and relax into a state of openness, ease, and clarity. This is the new frontier in integrative wellness—mindfulness designed for healing. Pransky doesn’t ask you to “be your best self,” or “do more!” She asks you to “be here” and “do less.” She guides you gently through the stages of Deep Listening, from being present and noticing your tension to welcoming what you discover with softness and compassion. She integrates tools like guided meditations, journaling prompts, and restorative yoga poses to help you regard yourself with kindness and curiosity. Immersing yourself in the practice of Deep Listening will allow you to nurture your own well-being.

Download or read book The Amputee s Guide to Sex written by Jillian Weise and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A paradigm-shifting collection about disability and desire, recontextualized with an introduction by one of our most provocative contemporary poets. When Jillian Weise wrote The Amputee’s Guide to Sex, it was with the intention of changing the conversation around disability; essentially, she was tired of seeing "cripples" portrayed as asexual characters. The collection that resulted is a powerful lesson in desire, the body, pain, and possession. These poems interrogate medical language and history, imagine Mona Lisa in a wheelchair, rewrite Elizabeth Bishop’s poem "In the Waiting Room," address a lover’s arsonist ex-girlfriend, and show the prosthesis as the object of male curiosity and lust. Publishers Weekly, in a starred review, called the book a “charged and daring debut” and described Jillian Weise as an "agile and powerful poet . . . speaking boldly and compassionately about a little-discussed subject that becomes universal in her careful hands." In the years since its first publication, our culture continues to grapple with questions limned in this collection. In a new introduction, Weise revisits and recontextualizes her work, revealing its urgency to our present moment. What are the challenges of speaking "for" a community? How to resist the institutionalization of ableist paradigms? How are atypical bodies silenced? Where do our corporeal selves intersect with our technologies?

When the worst flood in a century hits, Jillian and the rest of her community band together as they always do—but this time the damage may simply be too great.

But even when all hope seems lost, Jillian is determined to find a way to keep Boutin and its indomitable spirit alive. With the help of friends new and old, a loveable golden retriever, and Nonnie’s storytelling wisdom, Jillian does just that in this timely and heartfelt story of family, survival, and hope. In her stunning debut middle grade novel, Sarah Guillory has written a lush story about an indomitable girl fighting against the effects of climate change.
