Book excerpt: 'What do you think are the gifts of cancer?' Even now, all these years later, when I recall the question, a sense of shock still resonates. I thought of Julian's gruelling treatment regime, about how all seven of his children were coping seeing him so unwell, so reduced. Then, in the silence that followed, like the first sprouting of a tiny plant, I began to think about all the good things that Julian and I had experienced because of his illness; amid the strain and fear we had shared precious moments of love and kindness that might not have otherwise happened. I began to cry. 'Perhaps you could think of Julian's cancer in another way,' the counsellor suggested. 'Maybe it's like a little bird on your shoulder that's reminding you how to live.' Over a decade ago, award-winning journalist Lucy Palmer lost her beloved husband Julian, leaving her alone to raise their three young children on a farm south of Sydney. This beautifully written memoir tells the story of how Lucy and Julian fell in love with each other and with Papua New Guinea, and traces their family's return to Australia to face the daunting challenges of Julian's journey with cancer. Looking back with both sadness and joy, Lucy's honest and thoughtful account of finding hope and meaning where none seemed to be, will move and inspire all who read it. A Bird on My Shoulder offers us new and surprising ways to think about love and death, about the worst that can happen and what it can mean.

This book shows you how to use your intuition deliberately so you can really hear the answers. "This book is exactly what I needed to read at this point in my life. It gives practical tools to help you deal with & overcome your anger, bitterness, past trauma and finding joy. Most of us move through life just to survive. This book is helping me thrive, learn how to ask my angels to reveal answers in the way I can receive it and trust that little birdie, my gut, to lead the way. Thank you Katharine for an amazing book that I literally stopped what I was doing to answer the prompts and get on with the best of the rest of my life! " Precious L. Williams, CEO, Perfect Pitches By Precious, LLC "Katharine’s conversational tone throughout her story is so refreshing. I sat down and read the entire book in one sitting. This book gives you so many tips & suggestions on how to listen to your intuition, I wish I had read this book a few years ago! Her voice allows you to relate because you instantly feel like you know her & when she tells you “You Got This”, you believe her!

Katharine's stories were fascinating, the tips were excellent, and the exercises were very helpful. Congratulations on writing and publishing a much-needed example and resource to help others trust and utilize their intuition more!" Sandy Geroux, M.S., award-winning and motivational leadership speaker, trainer and author "As a paranormal investigator and student of the metaphysical for over 20 years, the concepts of intuition, inner voice, etc. are something that I have struggled with and embraced, in equal measure. I believe strongly that we all have the ability to “intuit” when we take the time to listen. In this book, Katharine Giovanni uses stories from her own life experience to simply, and matter-of-factly, explain the concepts and implementation of the intuition that we all possess. This book is the treasure in a sea of elaborate and flowery prose related to this topic. Katharine’s stories support her points in a way that was, for me, a joy to read. I really enjoyed it. If you are curious about, or doubt, the guidance you receive, this is a must-read." Jeffery Sullivan, Director, Sixth Sense Paranormal Investigations, San Antonio, TX "One of the things that I love about Katharine's writing is her straightforward, easygoing approach. I feel like she’s talking to me as I’m reading the book. She combines her personal stories and wit to explain how we all can access our intuition. Rather than keeping this wisdom a mysterious secret, she shares exercises in the back of the book so we can DIY! She wants her readers to know how to help themselves by using intuition. I believe that everyone, even the skeptics, can gain value reading this book. I highly recommend it." Susan Fitzell, Consultant, Author, Trainer & Speaker,

It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”

Download or read book Mozart s Starling written by Lyanda Lynn Haupt and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 27th, 1784, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart met a flirtatious little starling in a Viennese shop who sang an improvised version of the theme from his Piano Concerto no. 17 in G major. Sensing a kindred spirit in the plucky young bird, Mozart bought him and took him home to be a family pet. For three years, the starling lived with Mozart, influencing his work and serving as his companion, distraction, consolation, and muse. Two centuries later, starlings are reviled by even the most compassionate conservationists. A nonnative, invasive species, they invade sensitive habitats, outcompete local birds for nest sites and food, and decimate crops. A seasoned birder and naturalist, Lyanda Lynn Haupt is well versed in the difficult and often strained relationships these birds have with other species and the environment. But after rescuing a baby starling of her own, Haupt found herself enchanted by the same intelligence and playful spirit that had so charmed her favorite composer. In Mozart's Starling, Haupt explores the unlikely and remarkable bond between one of history's most cherished composers and one of earth's most common birds. The intertwined stories of Mozart's beloved pet and Haupt's own starling provide an unexpected window into human-animal friendships, music, the secret world of starlings, and the nature of creative inspiration. A blend of natural history, biography, and memoir, Mozart's Starling is a tour de force that awakens a surprising new awareness of our place in the world.

Download or read book A Love Letter to Texas Women written by Sarah Bird and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it that distinguishes Texas women—the famous Yellow Rose and her descendants? Is it that combination of graciousness and grit that we revere in First Ladies Laura Bush and Lady Bird Johnson? The rapier-sharp wit that Ann Richards and Molly Ivins used to skewer the good ole boy establishment? The moral righteousness with which Barbara Jordan defended the US constitution? An unnatural fondness for Dr Pepper and queso? In her inimitable style, Sarah Bird pays tribute to the Texas Woman in all her glory and all her contradictions. She humorously recalls her own early bewildered attempts to understand Lone Star gals, from the big-haired, perfectly made-up ladies at the Hyde Park Beauty Salon to her intellectual, quinoa-eating roommates at Seneca House Co-op for Graduate Women. After decades of observing Texas women, Bird knows the species as few others do. A Love Letter to Texas Women is a must-have guide for newcomers to the state and the ideal gift to tell any Yellow Rose how special she is.

We're ready for sun, surf, and parrots. What we get is murder. I might be in paradise, but I didn’t leave my problems in Boston. My Aunt is a virtual stranger and I'm scared she regrets giving me Parrots of The Caribbean. Her scarlet macaw Ruby, star of her tours, refuses to go out with me.

Our first voyage is almost smooth sailing—then my hawk-eyed cockatiel alerts us to a dead body on the beach! The victim is an ex-employee and my aunt’s been framed. If Astrid takes the blame, it will mean the end of Parrots of the Caribbean and the bird sanctuary that she cares for. And since the police aren't looking beyond her, it's up to me to find the real killer. Good thing I have some unexpected help from my new coworker and fast friend, Meg. She introduces me to Carlos, the handsome ex-detective who now makes the best fruity drinks on the island. We have too many suspects and not enough time. But when Chicken finds a key piece of evidence, my cockatiel might just crack the case. Feathers will fly and justice will be served in this tropical cozy caper!
