Download or read book NOW I ASK YOU written by Dr. Sherry L. Meinberg and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-02-20 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of my family and many friends are scattered in various states or countries. So when I die, they needn’t gather in California for my funeral, as I do not plan to have one. My goal is to have my lawyer, or a friend, send everyone I know, a copy of my memoir/advice book—NOW I ASK YOU—to save everyone the hassle of traveling on short notice. It is not worth their time, effort, and inconvenience, nor the money involved. Throughout my 84 years (so far), I have garnered tons of personal experiences—good, bad, and so-so. As such, I have chosen 120 subjects to share. Each section has three parts: It starts with NOW I ASK YOU questions and/or advice for the reader, then my personal story, followed by inspirational quotations, both old and new, from the famous, the not so famous, and the anonymous, pertaining to that particular experience. Few individuals have heard all of these tales, so many will be new to them. (I have actually heard friends become angry, when I would tell one of my stories to others, and they hadn’t heard it before. How weird is that?) Although I tried to place my memories in chronological order, the reader can dive in anywhere, as each story can stand alone. I hope readers will smile or laugh or cringe at some of my difficult, unpleasant, funny, or embarrassing experiences. This 24th book of mine is just my way of leaving a historical record, of sorts, for my family, as well as a roadmap for friends, neighbors, former students, and other readers, to learn from my failures and successes (always a teacher at heart!). Understand your life as a kaleidoscope of experiences that move and change. —L.D. Thompson We should learn from the mistakes of others. We don’t have time to make them all ourselves. —Groucho Marx

Download or read book The Wapshot Chronicle written by John Cheever and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • Pulitzer Prize winner John Cheever’s classic novel about one eccentric New England family, inspired by the author's own adolescence. The Wapshots have called the quintessential Massachusetts fishing village of St. Botolphs home for eons, but now it is time for the next generation—brothers Moses and Coverly—to go out and see the world. Moses heads to New York City and, eventually, a remote island in the South Pacific, while his brother travels south to Washington, D.C., and a job “so secret that it can’t be discussed here.” Meanwhile, back in St. Botolphs, their father, Captain Leander, clashes with his fearsome Cousin Honora, who controls the family purse strings. By turns tragic and deeply funny, The Wapshot Chronicle is a “richly inventive and vividly told” (The New York Times Magazine) work of fiction about one very odd family.
Download or read book Teitlebaum s Window written by Wallace Markfield and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Brighton Beach of the 1930s and early '40s as filtered through Simon Sloan, from youth to would-be artist-as-a-young-man at Brooklyn College to the eve of his induction into the army. Wallace Markfield perfectly captures this Jewish neighborhood--its speech, its people, its unique zaniness. But like any masterpiece--Joyce's "Dubliners" comes readily to mind--"Teitlebaum's Window "both survives and expands upon its time and place. While remaining rooted in the specifics of its own world, thirty-seven years after first being published it teems with Markfield's inventiveness, hilarity, and singular voice.
Download or read book The Friendship Quadrant written by Michael & Kassie Boyd and published by Friendship Quadrant Incorporated. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a difficult time with your friendships? Hard to recognize the difference between your true friends vs your fake ones? Not sure how to avoid the toxic and dangerous friends? Wanting to find ways to enhance and strengthen current friendships? Then this is the book for you...and your friends! You won't regret it. The Friendship Quadrant will be a tool you can use in all aspects of every relationship and it will be an effective resource your entire life. "As a family therapist, this is the first book I have read that focuses solely on the power and importance of friendship. The Friendship Quadrant provides a comprehensive toolkit for all ages to navigate the peaks and valleys of interpersonal relationships. I would recommend the Friendship Quadrant to any individual looking to improve, strengthen, and nurture positive friendships as well as parents hoping to guide their children in this same process." Lori B. Morton, MS, LPC Friendship Quadrant (FQ) teaches how to choose friends wisely and how to be a good friend. It utilizes a creative "quadrant model" to help people of all ages, but especially young people, to understand how to manage expectations in relation to their friends. With this new understanding, the readers become empowered as they quickly realize that their 'friend issues' are often not their fault. With this heightened awareness their self-image naturally improves. It's important, even vital, for people of all ages to have good friends. But as young people strive to "find their way in life" it becomes exponentially imperative for them to have good, reliable friends. Poor friend choices have had devastating effects on the lives of legions of young people who forfeited a bright future because of their "friends." By the time you finish reading this engaging book, you have learned the steps to becoming a good friend yourself so that you can attract and maintain, reliable "true blue" friends throughout your life. Friendship Quadrant will deliver to each reader a powerful and practical "life" tool that is easy to learn, retain and implement. In essence, it is a "compass" that will direct the individual to greater, more enriching friendships that will deliver immeasurable benefits. When taught in the middle school or high school environment FQ principles provide an "anti-bullying" message without ever saying the word "bully." This reality is a natural result of learning and accepting FQ principles. It's important to note, that while FQ utilizes a quadrant system to teach us to choose friends wisely, it is not a "labeling system" that forever banishes a person to a quadrant that falls "below the line" (explained in the book). Instead, the book encourages the reader to embrace those that don't meet the standard of a "good" friend. It then teaches the reader meaningful guidelines that will insulate them from the negative influences these friends may have on them. In doing so, they don't become a victim during the process of providing a positive example. We believe firmly that Friendship Quadrant will have a positive impact on the lives of every person that reads it, and in some cases, it will "redirect" an individual away from a path that is leading them to misery. As the famous quote goes, "Show me your friends and I will show you your future!"

Eleven-year-old Anthoni Gillis is not the kind of kid who believes in fairies, unicorns, or even the word “maybe.” She’s more of a comic-books girl. So when her mom brings her to Thunder Lake for a summer at the Showboat Resort, she doesn’t believe the local rumors about the Boulay Mermaid. Anthoni has bigger fish to fry. She’s always wanted a True Blue Friend. But it’s been hard to find one, since for the past five years she’s been bouncing from town to town, helping her mother sell Beauty & the Bee cosmetic products to keep them both afloat. This summer will be different, though. Anthoni has a plan—a foolproof checklist for making lifelong friends! There won’t be any maybes this time. But as she grows entangled in local gossip, and her mother stretches the truth, Anthoni must decide if she’ll “stick to the plan,” like always, or dive into a summer full of extraordinary possibilities. Josephine Cameron’s energetic and heartfelt debut raises timeless questions about truth, lies, and the hope that grows between them.
Download or read book Salience written by Steven McCann and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word, ‘salience,’ originally comes from the Latin, ‘salio,’ meaning to leap, or spring. Gradually, over the centuries, it has taken on its present meaning of, ‘particularly noticeable or prominent.’ Billy Garth, the hero of my novel that bears this title, experiences colors and sounds taking unusual prominence in his mind and distorting his senses during the last year of high school. Only after a long struggle does he understand that they are symptoms of his illness, schizophrenia. Billy is endowed with strength of body and character, as well as a noble and adventurous spirit. His journey takes him through masonry work in the hot sun, a police arrest, court hearings and stays at both a forensic correctional facility and a state mental hospital. He’s joined by a host of characters; some educated, some ignorant, some violent, others non-violent; those fated to endure a lifetime of suffering, and a few, like Billy, chosen to move on, becoming stronger, wiser and self-aware.
