Download or read book Anchored written by Kayla Aimee and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You count a pregnancy by weeks and Kayla Aimee had only ticked off 24 of the 40 when she unexpectedly went into labor. She thought her church upbringing had prepared her for every circumstance but when tragedy struck and threatened to take the life of her newborn daughter, it felt as though once solid ground had turned to glass beneath her feet, destined to shatter everything she held sacred. When swept into a story of suffering, we all find ourselves vulnerable, questioning everything we thought we knew as we wonder, “Where is God in this?” With everything feeling as fragile as her one and a half pound daughter, Kayla finds herself asking that same question as she faces her greatest fear: that she may have finally become a mother just to lose her only child. Both poignant and humorous, Anchored recounts Kayla’s gripping story of learning to navigate her newfound motherhood in the most unexpected of ways, from holidays in the hospital and middle-of-the-night phone calls to the joy of coming home. With vulnerability and plenty of wit, Kayla lays bare her struggle to redefine her faith, her marriage, and herself within the context of a tragedy she never saw coming. For anyone who has felt their faith in God falter, Anchored extends a gentle invitation to join her as she uncovers a hope that holds.
Download or read book Wellmania written by Brigid Delaney and published by Greystone Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE HIT NETFLIX SERIES "I laughed so hard I choked on a donut reading this book."—Jen Mann, NYT-bestselling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat Tired of late-night parties and all-day hangovers, thirty-something-year-old journalist Brigid Delaney decides to test the things that are supposed to make us healthy and whole, looking (with skepticism) to the trillion dollar wellness industry as her guide. She begins with a controversial and brutal 101-day fast, which leaves her glowing and "giddy," but also unemployed, bed-ridden, and strangely stinky. Next, she tries yoga classes, meditation, CBT, Balinese healing, silent retreats, group psychotherapy, and more, sorting through the fads and expensive hype to find out what works, while asking, "What does all this say about us?" With refreshing honesty and biting wit, Wellmania is an all too relatable book about the lengths we go to achieve optimal health—and whether it’s really worth it. As The Cut's Katey Heaney said: "Reading about all these impossible, expensive, scientifically unsupported self-improvement projects piled end on end, I wanted to shake Delaney, as I might shake myself, were I brave enough to tally all the money I've spent on green juice and witchy crap." According to comedian Judith Lucy, the result of Delaney's harrowing wellness journey is "a bloody entertaining read that leaves you wondering whether you want to do yoga or get mindlessly drunk and despair at the state of the world."

Download or read book Cookies for Breakfast a collection of tips about living your best life written by Chris Lowry and published by Grand Ozarks Media. This book was released on 2024-01-20 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of Compounding Good Habits When it comes to seeking excellence, it is often said that habits are key. This is because habits have the power to compound – that is, they have the ability to build on themselves and grow stronger over time. The power of compounding is well-known in the financial world. When it comes to saving and investing, the sooner you start, the greater the potential for growth. This is because the money you save today will have the opportunity to grow and compound over time, thanks to the power of compound interest. The same principle applies to seeking excellence. The habits you establish today will have the opportunity to grow and compound over time, helping you to achieve greater and greater levels of success. Of course, the opposite is also true. The bad habits you establish today will also have the opportunity to grow and compound over time, holding you back from achieving your full potential. This is why it is so important to be intentional about the habits you form. If you want to achieve excellence, you need to focus on developing good habits that will help you reach your goals. Here are a few tips to get you started: 1. Be clear about your goals. What exactly do you want to achieve? The more specific you can be, the better. 2. Identify the habits that will help you reach your goals. What specific actions do you need to take on a regular basis in order to achieve your desired results? 3. Make a plan. Once you know what habits you need to develop, you need to make a plan for how you will go about doing it. Ready for more? Try Cookies for Breakfast today!

Download or read book Wolfish Teeth Yo Yo written by Ermanno Capelli and published by Laura Capone Editore. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E-mail to the author by the translator Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 16:23:56 +0100 From: Alessandra Baroni Subject: Re: Ermanno Capelli-Yo Yo Denti di Lupo To: Ermanno Capelli Hello Ermanno, what a pleasure to receive your e-mail! I completed the translation just a few days ago, and now I'm careful revising it to avoid any oversight. When I came into contact with Laura, she brought two books to be translated: I had to choose between yours and another novel. I just read the first pages to decide, I was so excited that I could not wait to start work. I think it took me less than five minutes to tell her my choice! I loved your novel! The more I kept on reading the more I got completely involved in it. The novel, through its irony and its grotesque, can pass important messages, without ever becoming banal, indeed! I must say that I had a lot of fun translating Yo Yo Denti di Lupo. It was a truly pleasure rather than a work. I had the good fortune to spend a year living in the States. This experience has been very helpful in translating your novel, especially for the use of slang and street language, which unfortunately are not taught at the University ... but on the other hand, they are becoming increasingly popular. Really, congratulations for your work and I'm waiting for the next one ... Now, I am a fan of yours! Thanks for the good wishes. A hug Alessandra
Download or read book A Wish for Winter written by Viola Shipman and published by Harlequin. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I love this book—funny, perfect and wonderfully good. A not-to-be-missed delight.” —New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery With echoes of classic Hollywood love stories like Serendipity and An Affair to Remember, Viola Shipman’s latest winter charmer following the USA TODAY bestseller The Secret of Snow is sure to tug on heartstrings and delight readers who love books about books, missed connections and the magic of Christmas. Despite losing her parents in a tragic accident just before her fourteenth Christmas, Susan Norcross has had it better than most, with loving grandparents to raise her and a gang of quirky, devoted friends to support her. Now a successful bookstore owner in a tight-knit Michigan lakeside community, Susan is facing down forty—the same age as her mother when she died—and she can’t help but see everything she hasn’t achieved, including finding a love match of her own. To add to the pressure, everyone in her small town believes it’s Susan’s destiny to meet and marry a man dressed as Santa, just like her mother and grandmother before her. So it seems cosmically unfair that the man she makes an instant connection with at an annual Santa Run is lost in the crowd before she can get his name. What follows is Susan and her friends’ hilarious and heartwarming search for the mystery Santa—covering twelve months of social media snafus, authors behaving badly and dating fails—as well as a poignant look at family, friendship and what defines a well-lived and well-loved life. “Viola Shipman has written a captivating story for anyone whose memories run deep… This book keeps faith and hope alive!” —New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods A Country Living Magazine Best Christmas Book to Read This Holiday Season! Don't miss bestselling author Viola Shipman's charming new novel, THE WISHING BRIDGE—where an ambitious executive rediscovers the magic of family, friendship, home...and Christmas!
