Download or read book Anchor of My Heart written by Derrick Nearing and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of short stories offers the readers a window into the life of the author as a young boy growing up in New Waterford, Cape Breton in the 1960’s. Focused on simple encounters with family, friends and those who came into his life, the stories show how seemingly unimportant daily interactions shaded and prepared him for future aspects of his life. Anchor of My Heart is a nostalgic reminder of the importance of simpler days which are often not fully appreciated at the time. For the author, the metaphor of an anchor represents the hope that sprouted from his youth and the moral guidance it has provided him during his adult years, sometimes in places very far from Cape Breton Island. It is a tribute to the earliest memories of those who came into the author’s life throughout his childhood and who helped form his world view.

Book excerpt: As fourth engineer on board the MV Orchid, Lehar Saxena has no time to prissy up in front of a mirror or flirt with the boys. Her chief engineer hates her guts and much like the MV Orchid, which she helps keep afloat on the journey across the violent and pirate-infested high seas, she has her own baggage: heavy with anxiety, stress and love woes. Amidst the machines, sweat and testosterone surrounding her, loom thoughts of her relationship with Sameer, always too busy at the OPD to FaceTime or even text as much as he used to. With a long-distance relationship fast approaching the maelstrom it was destined for, Lehar must focus on her work - even as Veer, the handsome second officer who recently joined the crew - proves to be a pleasant distraction. He may be just what she needs as the journey grows even longer, and far more dangerous.

Despite those differences, since the day on which the two girls were born, the same day their fathers died--mysteriously and violently--Sudha and Anju have been sisters of the heart. Bonded in ways even their mothers cannot comprehend, the two girls grow into womanhood as if their fates as well as their hearts were merged. But, when Sudha learns a dark family secret, that connection is shattered. For the first time in their lives, the girls know what it is to feel suspicion and distrust. Urged into arranged marriages, Sudha and Anju's lives take opposite turns. Sudha becomes the dutiful daughter-in-law of a rigid small-town household. Anju goes to America with her new husband and learns to live her own life of secrets. When tragedy strikes each of them, however, they discover that despite distance and marriage, they have only each other to turn to.

Download or read book My Anchor of Hope written by Alison Marie and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From the time I was a young child on into adulthood, my heart and spirit have been wounded, my rights violated, my future threatened, and my performance not accepted. I grew up believing that I was unlovable. My identity was distorted.” How can you recover from such traumatic beginnings? Where do you even start to heal? What or who can help you find your way to a healthy self-perception? My Anchor of Hope, an open and honest memoir of the author’s life, reveals the details of her difficult childhood and adolescence, her unhealthy choices, and her violent marriage. While each of these life experiences left her with very definite scars and ramifications, Alison Marie determinedly refused to allow them to define her. Her early conversion to Christianity offered her a solid belief in the hope and grace of God, and she persevered. When she felt a desire growing within to help people discover how their upbringing and childhood experiences had affected them, she pursued a post-secondary education with the goal of achieving a bachelor’s degree in psychology. God’s providence continually showed up, providing her and her children with appropriate living accommodations and schools, moral support, and even groceries on occasion. Throughout the many challenges that arose, Alison Marie struggled to maintain her equilibrium with more success in some times than in others. Her ongoing belief in God’s goodness provided a solid foundation upon which she could build, and her research continues to provide helpful insights into the consequences of childhood trauma and domestic abuse. Her perceptiveness allows her to apply the latest research on this topic from credible academic resources to her own situation, and she passes her wisdom on in her narrative. This story is one of restoration, redemption, and freedom. It offers hope to all women who are suffering through difficult times and shows them how to break free from the abuse and self-contempt that controls their lives, allowing them to find a peace and self-love that is real and everlasting.

Book excerpt: 33 women • 7 sacred natural locations • 1 magical book guided by Spirit’s hand Women of the Wise Earth is an inspired co-creation between spiritual teachers, healers, natural therapists, dancers, poets, artists, mothers, sisters and daughters – women with a deep connection to this sacred Earth and its creative feminine pulse. This book has been birthed with the intention to serve fellow siSTARS around the globe in honouring, celebrating and surrendering into their innate feminine radiance. When women tap into the organic and intuitive rhythm that is their own, life becomes one exquisitely divine and ever-unfolding experience. Grace, gratitude, peace and laughter with the universe become a way of life. The words and images within arose from women gathering in sacred natural spaces, communing with Mother Earth and voicing the whisperings of Spirit as they were felt. This is nothing new; it is a reconnection with our most primal way of being. Each woman’s sharing is a reflection of the diverse faces of the divine feminine. Together, they embody a stream from the archetypal voice of woman on the road to deep self-discovery, awakening and authenticity…a voice that moves through each and every woman on this planet. As our Earth Mother now experiences great change so too do we, for we are inexplicably one and the same. The moment for woman to reconnect with her essence and to dance in the personal, collective, earthly, cosmic and divine spheres is now. Each chapter in this book is an offering and a feast to nurture the soul. It is an exploration of the seven core chakras through image, lived experiences, insights, meditations, yoga postures and play. Women of the Wise Earth is a most valuable companion for any woman aligning with her greatest joy, fulfillment, vitality and authentic expression.
