You have to stop waiting and start doing and that takes some work. Self-love is not something that just happens - it's a creative process where you dig deep to find your own soul.

Download or read book Bina written by Anakana Schofield and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative, feminist novel about a woman who persists in spite of the violence, injustice, and oppression that fills her world. Bina is a woman who’s had enough and isn’t afraid to say so. “I’m here to warn you, not reassure you,” she announces at the book’s outset. In a series of taut, urgent missives she attempts to set the record of her life straight, and in doing so, to be useful to others. Yet being useful is what landed her in jail. Empathy is her Achilles’ heel. Her troubles seem to stem from an injured stranger named Eddie, and they multiply when her charity extends from delivering meals to the elderly to working with the dying. No good deed of hers goes unpunished and the costs of her capacity for care are legion, as one by one she is denied her livelihood, her health, and her freedom, but her voice continues resolutely, an act of friendship in itself. Bina is an unsettling, thought-provoking novel of formal inventiveness and moral and emotional complexity by a bold and talented writer.
Download or read book Unapologetic written by Francis Spufford and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis Spufford's Unapologetic is a wonderfully pugnacious defense of Christianity. Refuting critics such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the "new atheist" crowd, Spufford, a former atheist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, argues that Christianity is recognizable, drawing on the deep and deeply ordinary vocabulary of human feeling, satisfying those who believe in it by offering a ruthlessly realistic account of the grown-up dignity of Christian experience. Fans of C. S. Lewis, N. T. Wright, Marilynne Robinson, Mary Karr, Diana Butler Bass, Rob Bell, and James Martin will appreciate Spufford's crisp, lively, and abashedly defiant thesis. Unapologetic is a book for believers who are fed up with being patronized, for non-believers curious about how faith can possibly work in the twenty-first century, and for anyone who feels there is something indefinably wrong, literalistic, anti-imaginative and intolerant about the way the atheist case is now being made.

It is making you miserable and you know it.Deep within you, you know your superwoman complex leaves a bad taste in your mouth more often than not, leaving you exhausted, unfulfilled, alone and angry at the world¿ and at the people you love. With soul-baring stories and anecdotes from her own troubled and traumatic life, Jennifer gives a detailed account of her journey to healing and shows you how you can have a more compassionate view of yourself and trust your own instincts and abilities without having to compromise to please anyone else.A Black women's real power is in learning to be tender and vulnerable without the fear of being rejected or betrayed. It is in learning to tune in to and trust our inner guidance and intuition that we are able to rewrite the narrative so we can have a soul-full, inclusive and more compassionate view of ourselves.
