Download or read book My Body Is Yours written by Michael V. Smith and published by arsenal pulp press. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lambda Literary Award finalist Michael V. Smith is a multi-talented force of nature: a novelist, poet, improv comic, filmmaker, drag queen, performance artist, and occasional clown. In this, his first work of nonfiction, Michael traces his early years as an inadequate male—a fey kid growing up in a small town amid a blue-collar family; a sissy; an insecure teenager desperate to disappear; and an obsessive writer-performer, drawn to compulsions of alcohol, sex, reading, spending, work, and art as many means to cope and heal. Drawing on his work as an artist whose work focuses on our preconceived notions about the body, this disarming and intriguing memoir questions what it means to be human. Michael asks: How can we know what a man is? How might understanding gender as metaphor be a tool for a deeper understanding of identity? In coming to terms with his past failures at masculinity, Michael offers a new way of thinking about breaking out of gender norms, and breaking free of a hurtful past. Michael V. Smith won the inaugural Dayne Ogilvie Prize for Emerging LGBT Writers from the Writers Trust of Canada for his first novel, Cumberland. He's since published two poetry books and a second novel, Progress. He teaches creative writing in the faculty of creative and critical studies at University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus.

Download or read book The Shelter of Each Other written by Mary Pipher, PhD and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-11-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Simple solutions for survival in this family-unfriendly culture…Eye-opening…heart-wrenching and uplifting.”—San Francisco Chronicle Even more resonant today than at its original publication in 1996, The Shelter of Each Other traces the effects of our society’s “anti-family” way of life, where parents are overtaxed, children are undersupervised, and technology is rapidly dictating how we interact. As she did in her number-one bestseller Reviving Ophelia, Mary Pipher illuminates how our families are suffering at the hands of shifting cultural norms, and she snaps our gaze into crisp focus. Drawing on the fascinating stories of families rich and poor, angry and despairing, religious and skeptical, and probing deep into her own family memories and experiences, Pipher clears a path to the strength and energy at the core of family life. Compassionate and heart-wrenching, The Shelter of Each Other is an impassioned call for us to gather our families in our arms and hold on to them for dear life.

Taking care of ourselves in order to prevent burnout is paramount to our sense of balance and well-being. However, we often make decisions in order to take care of others and do what’s expected of us even when that requires us to become overwhelmed. People who are in a care giving role or who have a profession that involves helping others know this well. They often put their own needs aside in order to be there for family or their clients. Additionally, our culture puts a lot of pressure on us to constantly reach greater levels of success. We are conditioned to think our value comes from how much we have achieved and this can keep us continually striving for the next big thing. But life doesn’t have to be that way. You deserve to unwind and live a life that meets your deepest needs. This book supports you in doing exactly that.
