Download or read book Glitterworlds written by Rebecca Coleman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original examination of the ubiquity of glitter—from bodily adornment to activist glitter bombing—and its vibrant and transformational properties. Glitter is everywhere, from crafting to makeup, from vagazelling to glitter-bombing, from fashion to fish. Glitter also gets everywhere. It sticks to what it is and isn't supposed to, and travels beyond its original uses, eliciting reactions ranging from delight to irritation. In Glitterworlds, Rebecca Coleman examines this ubiquity of glitter, following it as it moves across different popular cultural worlds and exploring its effect on understandings and experiences of gender, sexuality, class and race. Coleman investigates how girls engage with glitter in collaging workshops to imagine their futures; how glitter can adorn the outside and the inside of the body; how glitter features in the films Glitter and Precious; and how LGBTQ* activists glitter bomb homophobic and transphobic people. Throughout, Coleman attends to the plurality of politics that glitter generates, approaching this through the concepts of hope, wonder, fabulation, and prefigurative politics—all of which indicate the making of different, better worlds, although often not in ways that are straightforward or conventional. She develops an original account of future politics, where time is nonlinear and sometimes non-progressive. Coleman's argument brings together feminist cultural theory, feminist new materialisms, and theories on futures and temporality, in order to propose that we should understand glitter as a thing—vibrant, processual, transformational, and traversing boundaries between media and material, culture and nature, bodies and environments.

Consumed by a marriage that left no space for her own desires and creativity, she chose to reframe the failure of her marriage as an opportunity to begin again. It was Anna's innate sense of adventure and love for the unknown that led her to move abroad; travel around the world, visiting 80 countries; start her own business; and marry a magician—all before her mid-twenties. From the outside, her jet-setting lifestyle alongside her husband looked perfect. But though she appeared to have all the freedom in the world, in reality she was trapped in a slow-motion disappearing act. When her marriage collapsed, she decided to use her unhappy ending as a chance for a new beginning—a reappearance into her own life and sense of exploration and discovery, letting each destination challenge, change, and shape her. Following Anna's extensive travels from the bustling streets of Jaipur to the canals of Venice to the desert of Dubai, My Own Magic is a powerful memoir—a true, coming-of-age story about a woman rediscovering the magic that she always had. Anna's memoir is proof that travel can transform you, inspire you, and even save you. Perfect for fans of Eat Pray Love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This debut novel is a poignant exploration of grief, change, and hope, perfect for fans of Lisa Graff and Lindsey Stoddard. After Kitty’s mother dies on an inappropriately sunny Tuesday, all Kitty wants is for her life to go back to “normal”—whatever that will mean without her mum.

New York is every bit as big and bustling as Kitty’s heard, and as she adjusts to life there and befriends a blue-haired boy, she starts to wonder if her memories of her mum don’t need to stay in one place—if there’s a way for them to be with Kitty every day, everywhere.

Download or read book Bring Forth the Light written by Emmanuel and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was given this moment of time to allow me the way to go home or a split second of reaction time to stay. I knew I would only have that second to react, and my mind knew what it needed to do. We both were feeling as if we were paralyzed, as we could think but couldnt move. Remember, time was standing still for us, and we were in that moment of time. Just as time was very slowly starting to kick in for us both, I was able to begin lifting my arm to block the axe, (still in slow motion). The axe was coming right at me, and I knew if I missed, the axe was going to kill me in front of my son. I knew it would be lights out for me, but tragedy for Aubrey. Its funny how we both knew and both could see that my life was going to end. I believe that in life we have checkpointspoints in life we can choose to go home by or continue on in life if we want to continue. For me this was a checkpoint, but what would that mean for Aubrey? Could you imagine being with someone you love and watching an axe split them open, before your very eyes? That was not a moment I wanted Aubrey to bear. I knew I couldnt leave such a loving being with such tragedy to deal with. This was not going to happen. I was going to go on for yet another day.

Download or read book Heaven or Hell written by Kay Marigrace Tyran and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kay provides a clear understanding of what occurred when she flat-lined in the hospital. Through her testimony, poetry, scriptures, and songs she provides a glimpse into what is beyond and what is awaiting all of us, Heaven or Hell. Heaven if we accept Jesus. Hell if not. After sharing testimony that details her near death experience, Kay Tyran’s collection includes inspirational poems that reflect on faith, her love of Jesus, and the sacrifice Jesus made for all of us; related scriptures and prayers that remind us we are all sinners; and songs from a mother’s heart that lyrically reflect on the limitless power of unconditional love. Heaven or Hell is a volume of testimony, poetry, scriptures, and songs that reflect on one woman’s faith-filled journey through life and death. Kay expresses, “Sometime after my experience in the hospital, I felt the Lord leading me to write this down. A few years ago He began to give me poems to write. Many during the night, sometimes in the day, but always with little effort as a poem was just there. I know they were given by God one after another throughout that time. It had to be for a reason. I have no doubt that He gave them to me to share with others. This is what I want to do. I pray my book will reach many people so that they themselves may open up to the salvation knowledge of Jesus Christ and make Him the Lord and Savior of their life.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janet, a.k.a. Fury, trained in sniping and explosives, recruited directly from college to teach execution tactics at the FBI, and sent out when the need for her skills outweighed the need to have her in the classroom. When one of their missions crossed an intersection the Rangers were launching from, she caught her first glimpse of David, a.k.a. Cyclone, and demanded permission to have his team tag along to hedge the outcome. The day she received an invitational summons to join the Alpha Angels Unit her life took a turn for the better. She chose the Rangers to protect and plan for, finally having a way to connect with her David. They quickly grew past the need to communicate for mission planning, and she smiled every time he connected to her with a TX pulse for whatever non saving the word excuse he came up with that day. Fast forward ten years; the Alpha Angels were trying to come up with a way to transition to civilian life. Realizing they would need important and real things to do, during their first night of collectively retired, they were sanctioned as the Alpha Sorority: Angels chapter, or ASAs, their first mission the unfinished family business and whatever else was needed to cleanup for Janet's hometown of Anywhere. As they assessed their civilian skills, they agreed they collectively possessed what was needed for a desserts shop. Janet and her Angels opened Angel Delights while reconstructing an apartment complex, creating safe spaces for the neighborhood kids where there previously had been none, and they started a book club to make the nights slightly less endless. Between days at the shop, evenings with her family in a last-ditch effort to help them become one, and taking out the trash at night, ASA Angel Janet and her girls are trying to start this next phase with the brightest of expectations while privately she tried to overcome the missing of a man she never touched. The moving on had proved harder than any of them had expected despite knowing it was the right call, and so spent her days hoping he'd found his version of happiness with whatever woman would lucky enough to have won him and her nights praying he hadn't so she wasn't so very alone in her lonely. But just what does an Angel to do when the Fates have plans that don't match their expectations, when on a morning soon after opening her shop she and her girls stopped on a dime when their Ranger walked into Delights and asked for his Angel...
