Find a man who loved and valued me. Check. What I did not plan for was for that expertly crafted life to implode twenty minutes before I walked down the aisle. My life went into a tail-spin, spiraling out of control. Instead of hiding under a crocheted blanket on my couch with a pint of rocky road and a gallon of Pinot, I decided to hang on and see where this insane ride took me. Things couldn’t possibly get any worse, right? WRONG! People should stop asking that question because things can always get worse. But amid the relentless and humiliating tests life threw at me, I found something. Something I never thought I’d find with the last person I’d expect to find it with. I didn’t plan for Ryan Cohen, but maybe the best things in life shouldn't be planned. Maybe the secret to the perfect life is just letting go and allowing the universe drop you exactly where you need to be.

Horn takes on a one-year experiment to seek answers to these questions and to explore what it means to be submissive as a wife and “helper” to her husband. The answers—and her discoveries—may surprise you. This unique, entertaining, and thought-provoking personal account will challenge women to throw out their preconceived notions of what a submissive wife looks like and seek fresh leading from God for their lives and marriages today.

Download or read book Call Me Crazy written by Alyson Drake and published by Quinn Loftis Books, LLC. This book was released on 2013-05-29 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I’m looking out from inside the chaos. It must be a one-way mirror because no one seems to be able to see back inside to where I am. The looks on their faces, the judgment in their eyes, tells me everything I need to know. The most frustrating part about the whole messed up situation is that even though I’m the one that they stare at in shock, I am just as shocked as they are. I know no more than they do of why I lose control. What they don’t know is that I am more scared of myself than they could ever be.” ~ Tally BakerAfter a devastating turn of events, seventeen-year-old Tally Baker is admitted to Mercy Psychiatric Facility where she is diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. She has come to a place where she honestly believes that her life is over. Her mind tells her that she will never smile or laugh again, that she will never be normal again. It is in this unlikely place that she meets two people, different in every way, yet both critical to helping her realize that she has so much more living to do. Candy, a cantankerous sixty-year-old Mercy Psychiatric patient, is hell-bent on driving everyone as crazy as she is. Candy shows Tally that, regardless of her diagnosis, the ability to push on and live her life to the fullest is her choice and hers alone. In the midst of Tally’s oftentimes humorous, sometimes heart-wrenching, escapades with Candy, a new patient is admitted to Mercy—a native American woman named Lolotea. Along with this new patient comes a daily visitor, her son, Trey Swift. At first glance, it is obvious to Tally that he is incredibly handsome and unbelievably caring. But what she learns through her second glance, and many thereafter, is that there is much more to Trey than he ever lets on. It is during these daily visits that Trey and Tally build a friendship far deeper than either of them truly realize. With Trey, Tally feels for the first time since being admitted that someone is looking at her as a person and not as a disease. Trey begins to make it clear that he wants more than friendship, but she knows that she can never give him more. How can she, when she won’t even give him the truth? Tally doesn’t tell Trey that she is a patient at Mercy, and she doesn't ever plan to. Her plans go up in flames when she finds out that Trey is a new student at her school, the school where her brokenness was found out on the floor of the girl’s bathroom in a pool of her own blood.
