Download or read book Mango Elephants in the Sun written by Susana Herrera and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2000-08-08 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Peace Corps sends Susana Herrera to teach English in northern Cameroon, she yearns to embrace her adopted village and its people, to drink deep from the spirit of Mother Africa—and to forget a bitter childhood and painful past. To the villagers, however, she’s a rich American tourist, a nasara (white person) who has never known pain or want. They stare at her in silence. The children giggle and run away. At first her only confidant is a miraculously communicative lizard. Susana fights back with every ounce of heart and humor she possesses, and slowly begins to make a difference. She ventures out to the village well and learns to carry water on her head. In a classroom crowded to suffocation she finds a way to discipline her students without resorting to the beatings they are used to. She makes ice cream in the scorching heat, and learns how to plant millet and kill chickens. She laughs with the villagers, cries with them, works and prays with them, heals and is helped by them. Village life is hard but magical. Poverty is rampant—yet people sing and share what little they have. The termites that chew up her bed like morning cereal are fried and eaten in their turn ("bite-sized and crunchy like Doritos"). Nobody knows what tomorrow may bring, but even the morning greetings impart a purer sense of being in the moment. Gradually, Susana and the village become part of each other. They will never be the same again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Elephant of My Heart is the story that emerged as Jessica Clements took her first inner journey on the Personal Totem Pole Process originated by Stephen Gallegos. Jessicas life had not been easy, for at nine years old, she had suffered a brain haemorrhage. Yet this was just where her new guide, her elephant, took her to, though in the gentlest and softest of ways. It was here that her elephant, and numerous other animals, taught her that the scars that criss-cross her head can be seen in a different way, for now they are stitched with a black panthers whisker and held by a dragonfly! I read this book in an evening and couldnt put it down as I was taken on a magical journey by the Elephant at Jessicas Heart. Stephen Wish, Polar Bear Community If you like animals and meditate then I highly recommend this book! Jayne Thorpe
Download or read book Elephant Skin for Business written by Dr Israel Carlos Lomovasky and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not appropriate to use elephant skin for business purposes, as it is illegal and unethical. The trade of elephant skin and ivory is banned under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) due to the declining elephant populations caused by poaching. However, if we take a metaphorical interpretation of "elephant skin for business", it could refer to the thick skin or resilience required in the world of business. In this context, "elephant skin" would mean the ability to withstand criticism, rejection, failure, and other challenges that come with running a business. It is essential to have a thick skin to avoid getting discouraged by negative feedback or setbacks and to remain focused on the ultimate goal. Building a thick skin in business requires self-confidence, perseverance, and a willingness to learn from mistakes. Business owners must be able to take constructive criticism and use it to improve their performance, without taking it personally or becoming defensive. They must also be able to handle rejection and failure without losing motivation or giving up. In conclusion, while using actual elephant skin for business is illegal and unethical, developing a metaphorical "elephant skin" is crucial for success in the world of business. It requires resilience, self-confidence, and a willingness to learn and grow from challenges and setbacks. Developing a metaphorical "elephant skin" in business can take time, but it is a critical skill for success. Here are some steps that will further up be expanded to help you develop this skill: Cultivate self-confidence: Believing in yourself and your abilities is essential for building a thick skin. Take time to acknowledge your strengths, accomplishments, and successes. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people who can encourage and motivate you. Learn from mistakes: Everyone makes mistakes, but successful business owners use them as opportunities for learning and growth. When you experience setbacks or failures, take time to reflect on what went wrong and what you can do differently in the future. Focus on the big picture: Keeping your eye on the ultimate goal can help you stay motivated and focused, even when faced with challenges. Remember why you started your business and the impact you hope to make. Take constructive criticism: Receiving feedback, both positive and negative, is essential for growth in business. When receiving criticism, focus on the constructive elements and consider how you can use the feedback to improve your performance. Build resilience: Running a business can be stressful and overwhelming at times, but building resilience can help you stay motivated and focused. Develop healthy coping mechanisms such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones. Be persistent: Perseverance is key in developing a thick skin. Keep pushing forward, even when faced with rejection or setbacks. Stay committed to your goals, and eventually, you will achieve success.

Book excerpt: Ever since he was an infant, Pigeon Jones has lived on the back of an artistically gifted white elephant named Birch. Birch is a loving father, but that doesn't stop Pigeon from wondering about the human parents who abandoned him. Birch has dreams, too—of being a well-known artist, and of finding the acrobat he fell in love with while they performed together in a circus years ago. And so, on Pigeon's tenth birthday, their search for fame and lost loves begins. Pigeon and Birch paint their way across the world, dodging an evil circus ringleader, freeing zoo animals, and befriending singing hoboes along the way. But when they reach the end of their journey, Birch must master the most difficult art of all: letting go and allowing his beloved Pigeon to stand on his own two feet.

And when she stumbles into the arms of Stefano, the sexy elephant keeper, she finds a man who understands her wild spirit.

Download or read book Elephant Dance written by Tammie Matson and published by Pan Australia. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the middle of the night in the Namibian desert when zoologist Tammie Matson wakes with a start to find two elephants standing beside her tiny tent. She makes a promise: "If you just let me survive tonight I will give up Africa. I'll give it all up. Just don't let them stand on me." It's not a promise she will easily keep. At 29, Tammie has spent nearly half her life in Africa, her first love, working as a conservationist. But as her 30s approach, Tammie is conscious of not having ticked those boxes: no house, no kids and no husband. Broke and with her visa running out, it seems like Africa may just force her to give it up after all. On returning to Australia, Tammie lands a job at the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Sydney. There she meets Andy, a charismatic Brit, and Africa suddenly has a rival. But she's not ready to give up on the elephants yet... From the magic of Bushmanland, to the banks of Chobe River in Botswana, to the civil strife of Assam, India, Elephant Dance takes us to the heart of a conservationist's fight to find a way for elephants to live peacefully in a world with too many people, too few resources and the increasing threat of climate change. Passionate, funny, and moving, Elephant Dance is also a classic story of self-discovery, love, and the courage it takes to follow your calling, especially when it takes you places you least expected.
