Book excerpt: "A deeply moving remembrance ... of the privations and delights of growing up in rural northern New Mexico." -The Albuquerque Journal "Get saddled up and ready for the best fire-side book of the season." -Shakti Yogi Journal "A profound memoir, eloquently and extravagantly told." -Edward Khmara, Emmy-Nominated Writer, Actor, and Producer Out of the counterculture movement of the sixties arises a true story about risking it all for true freedom. Folk singer Jerry Gallaway and ex-ballet dancer Reva Lynn Gallaway leave behind a life of opportunity and fame to raise a family in the woods of northern New Mexico. For six children born in the wild with no birth certificates, no worldly identity, only the song of nature printed on them at birth, the woods became a place of learning and a place of refuge, until tragedy uprooted their foundation, leaving the youngsters split between two worlds. When forced to choose for themselves, would they live in nature with their parents, or seek a new life in society? Chloe Rachel Gallaway is the soulful child, bringing us the healing power of the wild through her photographic memories, authentic voice, and a tale of modern-day warriors and free thinkers carrying in their hearts an essential message about the priceless gifts of Mother Nature, her cycles of life and loss, and the transformative power of forgiveness. _____________ What fellow authors and writers are saying: "Gallaway does not just tell us, she makes us feel the love and the anger as we are drawn deeply into the life of this soulful child, entranced and embraced by wild nature, yet needing to understand the reality of the wider human world. It is a story ... about hope, love and resilience, and about freeing the spirit by learning to forgive." -Edward Khmara, Emmy-Nominated Writer, Actor, and Producer "[Chloe's] descriptions penetrate the very core of your heart and soul, making you wonder if she was sent here from another planet to convey a message of hope in a chaotic world." -Marcie Martinez, NaturesPresence.net "Thoreau said, 'Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?' Chloe's memoir gifts that miracle to readers. ... We see the tethers of family ties strained to the breaking point by the passionate will of a headstrong father whose way of life was inspired by Emerson and Thoreau and who later lived by the words of the Bible." -Emily Rodavich, Author Mystical Interludes: An Ordinary Person's Extraordinary Experiences "I think many of us have thought at some point, 'What if I just took off and lived in the woods?' Well, this story is the answer to that 'what if.' ... Our humanity heals from sharing its stories, as Gallaway has done." -Shareshten Senior, Shakti Yogi Journal "[Chloe] is a gifted storyteller with the ability to captivate all the senses. ... We feel her connection to the earth, to the animals, and to her family. We join her in wanting to make new connections with others. We experience her struggle through tragedy and the unknown. Then we triumph as she connects with herself." -Yvonne Williams Casaus, Author, A Drop of Water: A Spiritual Journey "A profound and unique story of a wild-child in the backcountry, coping and thriving amidst the challenges of nature and family, trying to find her place in life. [Chloe] opens her soul for us, and while we are brought into her unconventional world, our own heart cracks open and we understand more about ourselves. This is a book that explores many of the questions that make us human and leaves us drifting back to images of nature, animals and an innocent heart. ... This is a memoir written with love and honesty that will stay with you as you travel your own path, seeking a life worth living." -Joy Silha, Business Writer, Lifestyle Writer, and Rese

Download or read book Companioning the Grieving Child written by Alan D. Wolfelt and published by Companion Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned author and educator Alan Wolfelt redefines the role of the grief counselor in this guide for caregivers to grieving children. Providing a viable alternative to the limitations of the medical establishment’s model for companioning the bereaved, Wolfelt encourages counselors and other caregivers to aspire to a more compassionate philosophy in which the child is the expert of his or her grief—not the counselor or caregiver. The approach outlined in the book argues against treating grief as an illness to be diagnosed and treated but rather for acknowledging it as an event that forever changes a child's worldview. By promoting careful listening and observation, this guide shows caregivers, family members, teachers, and others how to support grieving children and help them grow into healthy adults.

Download or read book Soul Survivors written by Beyonce Knowles and published by HarperEntertainment. This book was released on 2002-04-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It must be a part of human nature to love drama. We never would have sold as many records -- and we never would have been this popular -- if our member changes did not happen. Up until that point, we were squeaky-clean nice girls who couldn't get on the cover of any magazines. --Beyoncé Knowles They're beautiful, they're talented, they're bootylicious . . . From first kisses and broken hearts to pillow fights and legal battles to losing friends and finding strength in God, Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams share it all. Their example of survival has made Destiny's Child one of the most beloved, bestselling female groups ever. Here for the first time, the three share the struggles that have made them stronger, from Beyoncé's battles with weight loss and shyness, Kelly's coming to terms with growing up without a dad, and Michelle's triumph over grade-school bullies. They've grown up under the media microscope, and have had to deal with lineup changes and media rumors. Now they set the record straight. The demands and drama, the schedules and scrutiny -- from the tour bus to the dressing rooms to backstage at awards shows, Beyoncé, Kelly, and Michelle talk about what it takes to be successful. Whether it's changing outfits in the rain, changing their hair color, or changing a name, they've done it. Don't be mistaken, they're not a prefab group of young girls -- they're smart, independent women with a lot of soul. When these ladies had only minutes of studio time to work with Wyclef Jean to remix one of their songs, they didn't stress, they just started singing faster -- and the result was a unique sound that put them on the map. Everyone has caught on to the Destiny's Child groove -- Whitney Houston, Bono, and Michael Jackson have all given them props, and the King of Pop himself serenaded them with a rendition of “Bootylicious.” Beyoncé, Kelly, and Michelle take you behind the scenes of a video rehearsal at which Aaliyah rewound their practice music, to the set of Austin Powers 3, where a starstruck Beyoncé felt anything but foxy before auditioning for the part of Foxxy Cleopatra, and backstage at the Grammys, where a last-minute costume change fiasco nearly kept Michelle from going onstage. With total honesty, these soul survivors not only dish the details of their past, but share their hopes, plans, and dreams for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Echoes from a Child's Soul: Awakening the Moral Imagination of Children presents remarkable poetry inspired by aesthetic education methodology created by children that were labelled academically, socially, and/or emotionally at-risk. Many children deemed average or below-grade level composed poetry beyond their years revealing moral imagination. Art psychology and aesthetic methodology merge to portray the power of awakening children's voices once silenced. The children's poetry heralds critical and empathic messages for our future. This book proposes an overwhelming need for change in America's public-school education system so that no child is ignored, silenced, deemed less than, or marginalized"--

Book excerpt: "We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness. We are made for togetherness."—Desmond Tutu In this personal and inspirational book, the late beloved Nobel Prize-winner and humanitarian shares the secret of joy and hope in the face of life’s difficulties. Archbishop Desmond Tutu witnessed some of the world’s darkest moments, for decades fighting the racist government policy of apartheid and since then being an ambassador of peace amidst political, diplomatic, and natural disasters. Yet people find him and his work joyful and hopeful. In Made for Goodness, Tutu shares his source of strength and optimism. Written with his daughter, Mpho, who is also an ordained Anglican minister, Tutu argues that God has made us for goodness, and when we simply start walking in the direction of this calling, God is there to meet us, encourage us, embrace us. God has made the world as a grand theater for us to work out this call to goodness; it is up to us to live up to this calling, but God is there to help us every step of the way. So, tackling our worst problems takes on new meaning and is bostered with hope and the expectation that that is exactly where God will show up. Father and daughter offer an inspiring message of hope that will transform readers into activists for change and blessing.

Download or read book Looking Into the Souls of Children written by Bert Hellinger and published by . This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Looking Into the Souls of Children" is a profound demonstration of the later systemic family constellations by their pioneer, Bert Hellinger. This book tells many stories, all directly taken from life as it is: greater than we imagine it. They are stories about children who discover a hidden treasure in their soul, a treasure that brings peace to them and to their parents, and thus to all readers - themselves children to parents, parents to children. Bert Hellinger brings these treasures to sudden light while the children, their parents, and their teachers watch their "constellations" unfold. Some of what emerges is understood immediately, a treasure glistening in their hands. Other movements will take shape over time, treasures unearthed, facets yet to be polished. Each story stands on its own; each treasure lights a hidden depth. This book reveals an unfolding not just of the clients' stories, but also of Hellinger's body of work itself. His eye now trained on what he calls Mystic Consciousness, the vast outer layers beyond common awareness, he moves with clarity among life's uncertainties. Introduction by Bert Hellinger: "This book tells you stories, true stories. We can read them as stories through which we can look into our soul, into our own child-soul, and into the souls of our children. We can even read these stories to our children, but only one at a time. Older children can read the stories by themselves and gain a kind of understanding of their own souls that brings them a sense of relief. Finally they can see a way out for themselves, and the same goes for us, for us personally and for our children. "How do we read this book? Perhaps in a way that liberates us, taking us beyond our fears and our concerns to discover whether we and our children are on the right path. "We look into our soul and we breathe a sigh of relief. Opening up to these stories, letting them take us along, what is the result? "We comprehend: all children are good, and the same is true of us, provided we look into our soul with love."
