Download or read book I Am Still Learning written by Wayne Herivel and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-05-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am still learning” is a phrase to always keep in your mind. Difficulties you deal with usually provide learning opportunities. You may have figured out how to solve a problem that you hadn’t seen before, or maybe you learned what caused the difficulty in the first place, and now you can prevent it from happening again. Going a little further, if you can learn from other people’s difficulties, you are two steps ahead. Learning what they did to solve the problem may help you with the same problem, and if you are lucky, learning what caused their problem in the first place may enable you to avoid it happening to you. I am now well into my eighth decade of life. Some days I think I’ve seen/solved most of the problems that may yet come up; other days, new problems come as unwanted surprises, so I am still learning too. I thought it was about time to share some of my experiences in the hope that what I’ve learned will help you. There are few guarantees in life, but with a little planning and forethought, you can often tip the scales in your favor, or you can change the odds a little more to your benefit. As a result, hopefully you will be able to avoid most major problems and minimize the impact caused by the others. The “trip” you are about to take will highlight many experiences from my life, some of which (hopefully) will stay with you, and you will benefit from what I learned without pain to yourself. I’ve always tried to see the fun parts of everything, whenever the situation permits. I also try to share what I’ve learned, in appreciation to all those before me that shared with me what they learned. Enjoy the “trip.” I hope you will find many sections that you will pass along with your own experiences to benefit others. We all are still learning. 103

Download or read book How to Read the American West written by William Wyckoff and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From deserts to ghost towns, from national forests to California bungalows, many of the features of the western American landscape are well known to residents and travelers alike. But in How to Read the American West, William Wyckoff introduces readers anew to these familiar landscapes. A geographer and an accomplished photographer, Wyckoff offers a fresh perspective on the natural and human history of the American West and encourages readers to discover that history has shaped the places where people live, work, and visit. This innovative field guide includes stories, photographs, maps, and diagrams on a hundred landscape features across the American West. Features are grouped according to type, such as natural landscapes, farms and ranches, places of special cultural identity, and cities and suburbs. Unlike the geographic organization of a traditional guidebook, Wyckoff's field guide draws attention to the connections and the differences between and among places. Emphasizing features that recur from one part of the region to another, the guide takes readers on an exploration of the eleven western states with trips into their natural and cultural character. How to Read the American West is an ideal traveling companion on the main roads and byways in the West, providing unexpected insights into the landscapes you see out your car window. It is also a wonderful source for armchair travelers and people who live in the West who want to learn more about the modern West, how it came to be, and how it may change in the years to come. Showcasing the everyday alongside the exceptional, Wyckoff demonstrates how asking new questions about the landscapes of the West can let us see our surroundings more clearly, helping us make informed and thoughtful decisions about their stewardship in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Not Another Second written by Ines Newby and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Not Another Second" tells the stories of 12 LGBT+ seniors. It details the years they lost to societal constraints, years where they were not able to be their authentic selves or openly express their love. It also tells of the triumphs they experienced over these constraints. This book acknowledges and celebrates the sacrifices, bravery and contributions of these seniors and offers wisdom to future generations in the hopes that not one person will lose another second. LGBT+ seniors born in the 1930s, '40s and '50s are the brave pioneers who stood up and pushed back, refusing to be treated as social outcasts, criminals and sinners or seen as mentally ill. Their living legacy includes hard-won federal rights for LGBT+ members to legally marry, adopt, work and seek housing and health care without discrimination. Now in their sixties, seventies and eighties, the 3 million LGBT+ seniors currently living in the United States want subsequent generations to learn from their living history, to be inspired to stand on their shoulders and to continue to fight for what's right. A collaboration between the trailblazing nonprofit SAGE and Watermark Retirement Communities, this book gives readers a candid glimpse into the private and public lives of Pearl, Nick, Mark, Paul, Paulette, Pat, Lujira, Ellie, Reverend Kennedy, Ronnie, Ray and Richard. They are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Their generation led the Stonewall Uprising, founded Act Up and helped end "don't ask, don't tell." These seniors are presented through a series of more than 100 portraits interspersed with stories of their experiences as members of the LGBT+ community. Each moving portrait, captured by noted German photographer Karsten Thormaehlen, is accompanied by the number of years lost, years when they could not live as their true self beyond their inner circle of trusted friends and family. All proceeds collected from the sale of this book will be donated to Watermark for Kids, a nonprofit organization, in support of LGBT+ young people.

Download or read book Wallet Activism written by Tanja Hester and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2022 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST — SOCIAL/POLITICAL CHANGE • 2022 ASJA ANNUAL WRITING AWARD WINNER — SERVICE • 2022 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDALIST — SOCIAL CHANGE & SOCIAL JUSTICE • 2022 AXIOM BUSINESS BOOK AWARD GOLD MEDALIST — PHILANTHROPY/NONPROFIT/SUSTAINABILITY How do we vote with our dollars, not just to make ourselves feel good, but to make a real difference? Wallet Activism challenges you to rethink your financial power so can feel confident spending, earning, and saving money in ways that align with your values. While we call the American system a democracy, capitalism is the far more powerful force in our lives. The greatest power we have—especially when political leaders won’t move quickly enough—is how we use our money: where we shop, what we buy, where we live, what institutions we entrust with our money, who we work for, and where we donate determines the trajectory of our society and our planet. While our votes and voices are essential, too, Wallet Activism helps you use your money for real impact. It can feel overwhelming to determine “the right way” to spend: a choice that might seem beneficial to the environment may have unintended consequences that hurt people. And marketers are constantly lying to you, making it hard to know what choice is best. Wallet Activism empowers us to vote with our wallets by making sense of all the information coming at us, and teaching us to cultivate a more holistic mindset that considers the complex, interrelated ecosystems of people and the planet together, not as opposing forces. From Tanja Hester, Our Next Life blogger and author of Work Optional, comes the mindset-shifting guide to help you put your money where your values are. Wallet Activism is not a list of dos and don’ts that will soon become outdated, nor does it call for anti-consumerist perfection. Instead, it goes beyond simple purchasing decisions to explore: The impacts a financial decision can have across society and the environment How to create a personal spending philosophy based on your values Practical questions to quickly assess the “goodness” of a product or an entity you may buy from The ethics of earning money, choosing what foods to eat, employing others, investing responsibly, choosing where to live, and giving money away For anyone interested in leaving the world better than you found it, Wallet Activism helps you build habits that will make your money matter.
