Download or read book You re Not A Ninja And No You Can t Spend The Night written by Terryn Sundy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cheeky, wacky and, at times, downright silly, this debut collection of personal essays (and companion pieces) highlights some of (mis)adventures of the curious and painfully observant author, Terryn Sundy. From receiving an impromptu peepshow while standing on a sidewalk in London to witnessing an act of self-gratification while on a 1st date to receiving a glam-rock groupie makeover and getting propositioned by the singer of a well-known hair-metal band, she re-tells these stories with a level of detail and humor that makes the readers wish they were there to experience the zaniness first-hand. As companion pieces and extra insight into her brain, she also includes "How-To" guides on how to avoid some sticky situations in the future, plus lists of some things that she loves (and hates). You're Not A Ninja, And No...You Can't Spend The Night is like reading the diary of your witty, adventurous, potty-mouthed, boy-crazy best friend who never fully grew up.

Join Certified Life Planner and Relationship Expert Chanel Dokun as she gives you the tools you need to find profound joy and fulfillment in building a new life rooted in your unique purpose. Women are drowning in pursuit of the "good life." We chase external markers of success--building enviable careers, pursuing romantic relationships, and crafting the picture-perfect life--in attempts to soothe the aching suspicion that there must be more to life. But our efforts only leave us stressed, lonely, and tired of trying to answer the question: "Why isn't this enough?" Chanel Dokun has been there, too. She spent the first half of her life focusing on achieving and attaining the lifestyle she thought she wanted, but she found herself feeling disappointed, disillusioned, and like she'd lost herself while running after success.

Using practical strategies, anecdotes from her work coaching women around the country, and therapeutic examination, Chanel Dokun teaches women how to create the life they've been waiting for, sharing: An in-depth look at why society's definition of significance isn't the answer in our search for more The hidden reason why we're discontent Practical action steps to unlock our genius, find our flair, and discover our unique life purpose The five postures of silence, solitude, generosity, gratitude, and play that can help us move from striving to thriving Life Starts Now shows us that when we release the search for significance and recover a redemptive view of an ordinary life, we can experience profound joy and fulfillment--and embrace the wild wonder of the lives we've been given.

Life Starts Now is timely, accessible, and exactly what you need as you evaluate your priorities, pursuits, and purpose. You don't have to suffer in silence or settle for less.

Download or read book Everyone Can Be a Ninja written by Akbar Gbajabiamila and published by Gallery Books. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beloved host of the NBC hit show American Ninja Warrior draws inspiration from both the fierce competitors on his show and his own unlikely path to success to outline the essential steps to achieving your goals and becoming a modern-day ninja. Akbar Gbajabiamila, the host of NBC’s hit Emmy-nominated show, American Ninja Warrior, did not have an easy path to success. One of seven children to Nigerian immigrant parents, he grew up in the Crenshaw district of South Central Los Angeles during the 1980s and 90s, a time when the neighborhood was fraught with riots and gang violence. With dreams of playing professional basketball, Gbajabiamila found success not in the sport he loved, but in football. Late in his high school career, Gbajabiamila suited up with pads for the first time and was thrown into the complex sport of football. He climbed major hurdles to play college football and then professional football. After playing in the NFL, it was only after years of hard work behind-the-scenes in radio and television that he was offered the job to be the host of American Ninja Warrior. Through his own inspirational underdog stories and interviews with modern-day ninjas who have accomplished extraordinary things in their own lives against the odds, Akbar proves in Everyone Can Be a Ninja that it doesn’t matter if you make it through every step of the obstacle course on the first try. Ninjas keep pushing themselves until they reach their goals, and they don't let anyone or anything stand in their way. It is easy to see greatness in others; it’s hard to see it in ourselves. Everyone Can Be a Ninja shows you that we can fulfill our potential and achieve our dreams by finding our inner warriors.
