But once she touches down back into the plains of sanity and normalcy, the shedding of those tears will stop. Her inner resilience will have preserved her through the worst. She is then driven to finally decide to begin a new chapter by turning a fresh page in life. With the dawn of this rising hope, she is compelled to adorn her new found inner radiance and confidence with a revealing application of her brightest Lip Gloss - She is ready to step back into the world of the here and now.

Download or read book Love Letters To A Man written by Barbara Jackson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love Letters to a Man, is an exploration through falling in love, the depression and resolution of the end of a relationship and starting over in love and life. It is written in spoken word prose because through this journey sometimes getting the emotion out doesn't always mean simply talking about the problem or being rational. Writing is a release and poetry is simply the method used to say what is in the head and heart. This is not a self-help book but is intended to lend insight to others that they are not alone in their efforts to get through the ups and downs of life and relationships. Love Letters to a Man does speak from the heart felt experiences and trial and error of working through the aftermath of break ups, and starting over in new relationships and the self-examination that should go on in between. It also uses the imagery of experiences from childhood that lend insight into the hard taught lessons about the authors own self-image.

Book excerpt: At the one-year anniversary of his death, legendary musician Prince's first wife shares a uniquely intimate, candid, and revelatory look inside the personal and professional life of one of the world's most beloved icons. In The Most Beautiful, a title inspired by the hit song Prince wrote about their legendary love story, Mayte Garcia for the first time shares the deeply personal story of their relationship and offers a singular perspective on the music icon and their world together: from their unconventional meeting backstage at a concert (and the long-distance romance that followed), to their fairy-tale wedding (and their groundbreaking artistic partnership), to the devastating losses that ultimately dissolved their romantic relationship for good. Throughout it all, they shared a bond more intimate than any other in Prince's life. No one else can tell this story or can provide a deeper, more nuanced portrait of Prince -- both the famously private man and the pioneering, beloved artist -- than Mayte, his partner during some of the most pivotal personal and professional years of his career. The Most Beautiful is a book that will be returned to for decades, as Prince's music lives on with generations to come.

Download or read book Love Will Tear Us Apart written by Sarah Rainone and published by Crown. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bittersweet, darkly comic novel from a lyrical new voice, Love Will Tear Us Apart tells the story of six childhood friends reunited at a wedding where secrets are revealed, hearts are broken, and new meaning is given to the phrase “You can’t go home again.” High school sweethearts Lea and Dan are getting married–and no one’s surprised. After all, they’re both perfect–so perfect that their “friends” can’t help but be reminded how screwed up they are in comparison. As an awkward night wears on, and getting wasted is the only way to make it through, a killer soundtrack–from Madonna to Nirvana, the Geto Boys to the Grateful Dead–takes us back to the first cracks in their friendships, their shaky transitions into adulthood, and the few moments of love and connection that have defined them through the years. By turns a Nick Hornby–esque ode to the way music shapes our memories and an elegy to lost youth in the manner of Bret Easton Ellis, Love Will Tear Us Apart doesn’t aim to capture some supposed “voice of a new generation” but rather tells the story of a generation more comfortable with letting music speak on its behalf.

Download or read book Secret Tear written by Silia Loren and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My promise to "Jesus" and understanding my message. I realize the Lord has allowed me to experience, endure and witness a great deal by protecting me all these years. My message is to enlighten society by using my past as an example of belief, faith and wisdom. Greatness of good is a gift from God. Evil is a powerful force of nature. Society will use the phrase, "It's human nature" as an excuse for any wrong doings towards anyone who has an identity crisis. But, is it human nature or just an evil act of malice behavior depending on the person? My opinion is goodness in people hearts are being de-sanitized by the strength of evil only if allowed. Be "real" to yourself by being yourself. Having faith will carry you through the challenges of life. Remember, "An anger mind is the devil's workshop". I always say, "Great people who represent good may pay the ultimate price on earth. But, the Lord's reward is life everlasting spirit in heaven".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRIGGER WARNING... TRIGGER WARNING... "I CANNOT SEE BECAUSE THE DARKNESS IS BLINDING ME!" Mental health has become a global pandemic, with millions of people in different parts of the world suffering from one form or another. Despite the tons of resources available, more needs to be done, as the number of mental illnesses rises. Consequently, Madison Carter is taking a seemingly different, yet effective approach to addressing the plague by documenting real-life experiences and sharing them with the world. The poisons facilitating stress, depression, anxiety, and other forms of darkness have brutally brought the fire! Yet, since they wanted the smoke, it was what it was, and the fire was extinguished through the joy! Freedom From Isolation is Madison Carter's gripping journal entries of real-life events, violence, adult content, comedy, lust, and loss. In this powerful and unorthodox ‘Christian’ journal, the reader will be swept into a profound expedition through the dangerous streets of Chicago better known as Chiraq. Freedom From Isolation serves as a unique blend of raw and unfiltered emotions that supply a transparent account of the diverse challenges, struggles, and obstacles hell-bent on trying to destroy the soul. In a cold, dark, and turbulent world, readers will witness an unyielding determination to break free from the mental shackles. Freedom From Isolation unravels the harsh reality of life surrounded by curses that play a big part in this compelling narration of encounters. Madison’s journal shares her captivating experiences with fearlessness, fierceness, and forgiveness, which have helped her to understand the importance of self-reflection, living on purpose, learning through error, and mastering love. She has gained clarity about the struggles faced through the redeeming power of grace. This journal reminds us of how trapped mental struggles make us feel, and how resilient we need to be to find happiness and hope. Mistakes are unintentional, and decisions are intentional! As adults, we tend to lean more toward making wrong decisions that end up as mistakes after a situation occurs. Our decisions are swayed by feelings that often cause us to self-sabotage. In an irrational mind, trickery forms delusions, and decisions are made that are later regretted. The world is full of ups and downs; it takes our minds on a Marry Go Round! Our smiles are now frowns, and our spirits have drowned. It is hard to see, and minds cannot conceive; that we must believe in all things! But do you fear, nor have an ear? Behold... The "FINAL DESTINATION" is near! ... ExTra ExTra... The world is under attack, black people have been under attack, women are under attack, muscularity is under attack, our democracy is under attack, and now, our children are under attack! The writer of Freedom From Isolation is looking to inspire readers across the globe with thought-provoking questions: Can you lose everything but your joy? Will you break, bend, or fold under tribulation, test, trial, or trouble? What does resilience mean? What are we going to do? What are we hoping for? When is it coming, or who is coming? Why is it taking so long? These are all valid concerns, but no one can answer these questions. AT A TIME SUCH AS THIS! There has been a wave of coaches, prophets, and other so-called inspirational leaders who have graced the world with their presence but most of them are hypocrites and cannot be trusted either. Let's say we have two choices, and they are permanent, so we cannot have a redo. Remember, this journal pertains to real life and is not hypothetical, nor should it be taken lightly. It is not tricky; it needs careful consideration. The choices are 1) Being in a Sauna, or 2) Being in a Jacuzzi.
