Book excerpt: Experience the uplifting, "unforgettable" New York Times bestseller about an abandoned kitten named Dewey, whose life in a library won over a farming town and the world -- with over 2 million copies sold! (Booklist) Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. On the coldest night of the year in Spencer, Iowa, at only a few weeks old--a critical age for kittens--he was stuffed into the return book slot of the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most. As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state and finally, amazingly, worldwide, Dewey became more than just a friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland farming community slowly working its way back from the greatest crisis in its long history.

The new book is a 5-year work and is written as a series of stories, monologues and, finally, breathtaking confessions that encourage us to follow our dreams, dare, fulfill and connect with the inner self. Yossef Ohana is only 41 years old, but has gained a lot of mileage as an entertainment journalist as a songwriting artist and now as a writer. He was born in Ashdod and studied at a religious school from age 6 to high school in his new book based on real stories he tells about leaving the closet at age 35 about the time in London where he studied acting about the years he worked as a cultural and broadcast correspondent on radio and western, copywriting in advertising offices and of course the work of a pop album with 8 autobiographical songs written and most of them compiled by him who have had unprecedented success in music digital stores with tens of thousands of plays in Europe, India, Japan, USA, North Korea and more.

In the book EXPOSED and an album distributed around the world, Yossef invites the reader / listener to embark on an autobiography journey that tells his childhood story, the storms of emotion and the complex search for the connection to self, truth, honesty and relationship. It's a kind of search and self-discovery roadmap that makes the reader better understand themselves and examine life in a new perspective. Yossef's recent major change is attributed to a dangerous car accident that miraculously survived. Yossef: I was 20 and walking around Allenby street, Tel Aviv, on the way to a friend. Suddenly I noticed a bus that stopped and without thinking I jumped in front of him to get on it. It was completely dark and in a second I noticed a flash of car lights and woke up in the middle of the road with only a broken nail. Since that event, I have embarked on a quest for answers and meaning, and this is also the inspiration for the first chapter of the book, Yossef Ohana recalls. Focusing only on his art returned to his parents' home for a good few years.

My family lived in a small three-room house that had a kitchen, living room, and a bedroom. My grandmother lived not far away from us on a 55-acre farm where she raised livestock. She also had gardens, fruit trees, and honeybees. These recipes that I have gathered together are made up of things that we raised on that farm. They are some of my favorite recipes. I hope they bring you as much enjoyment as they did my family. This recipe book is dedicated to two very strong women who were a great inspiration to me as I was growing up.

Download or read book Blood written by Joey and published by Joey Bar Music Books Movies. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search for the purpose of life and embarking on an inner journey is a quest that touches each of us. Many individuals find themselves questioning the meaning and fulfillment in their lives, seeking a deeper understanding of their purpose. This introspection often stems from experiences of betrayals, lies, love, inspiration, success, and the pursuit of money, which serve as catalysts for self-reflection. These experiences force individuals to examine their values, priorities, and desires, ultimately leading them on a journey of self-discovery and self-realization. In this journey of self-discovery, meditation plays a crucial role in finding clarity and purpose in life. Meditation allows individuals to quiet the mind, cultivate mindfulness, and tap into their inner wisdom. Through regular meditation practice, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their true desires, enabling them to align their actions and choices with their authentic selves. Meditation also helps individuals cultivate gratitude, resilience, and compassion, which are essential qualities for navigating the ups and downs of life. By incorporating meditation into their daily routine, individuals can find the answers they seek and manifest their dreams into reality. Ultimately, the pursuit of the purpose of life and the inner journey is a deeply personal and individualistic endeavor. While some may find the answers they seek through introspection and meditation, others may find solace and meaning in different practices or belief systems. It is important to honor and respect each individual's unique path and to recognize that the journey itself is as important as the destination.By embracing the quest for purpose and embarking on the inner journey, individuals have the power to not only transform their own lives but also inspire and uplift those around them.
