Download or read book Travels of a Wash Belly Baby written by J.R. Dixon-Davidson and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years 1920 to 1945, most children were born at home, and family members helped. Women had children in their forties and some even in their fifties without any big problems. When there are several older children and someone, either the midwife or an older family member, prognosticates that this is the wash-belly baby, it means that this baby is the last one, and it usually is. JR got the designation. Travels of a Wash-Belly Baby are unpredictable, adventurous, and exciting. Join JR as she discovers a German hiding in the jungle in El Volcan in 1959 since the end of World War II in 1945; take a trip in a canoe with a Ngobe Indian armed with a knife and his knowledge of the Caribbean Sea; stand with her on a sandbar in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, which is the beginning of another island among the 365 islands that comprise the Archipielago de San Blas where the Guna Indians live; enjoy Peg Leg Bates dancing on his wooden leg in Kerhonkson, New York; fly with her in the helicopter to the peak of Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska; join her in a traditional tea ceremony in Shanghai, China; and in many more fascinating places with captivating people and exuberant environments. The historical hopscotch is the precious missing link that truthfully clarifies and weaves the strands of heritage into the cultural quilt that joins us all as it reveals itself through travel. Join JR next in Travels of a Wash-Belly-Baby 2 as she studies and gallivants through Europe from 1965 to 1966.

Book excerpt: Life and death struggles, a common thread that connects us as human beings, are vividly revealed in this inspirational and unforgettable true story as told by a mother and her daughter of their babies, born with life threatening birth defects. Swept away on an uncharted and treacherous journey one thing clearly emerges, God, the ultimate thread that held them together through their darkest hours, was waiting for them there. He gave them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness so He might be glorified through their babies life and death struggles. (Isaiah 61: 3b) At every bend in the road lives were forever changed. The baby boy unable to ever speak a word about what he endured in his fight for life went to his grave never knowing what a giant impression his tiny handprint had left on every heart he touchedleaving this world a better place than he found it. For the little girl, the veil separating Heaven and Earth was lifted . . . Mommy, I see an angel! Hoping to get a glimpse, her mommy searched the hospital room eagerly. Where do you see an angel? her mommy asked. She pointed overhead, Up there . . . in the corner of my room . . . one angel with big, pink wings. Although her mommy didnt see the Heavenly being, together they felt the comfort of its presence. On their timeless journey of faith, hope, and love, their loving God went with them through it all: healing hearts, changing lives, sharing their deepest sorrows, and sending his angels to comfort and help them. Their stories, formed in the crucible of life and death struggles, were transformed by the grace of God into a thing of beauty. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time. (Ecclesiastes 3: 11a, KJV)

Download or read book Journey to Polonia written by Geraldine Prusko and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating her family history helps a teenager heal after a brutal attack. Olivia, 17, becomes the victim of a rape by someone she knows on her way home from school. Unwilling to face her classmates, she turns to her extended family while she heals, listening to stones about their journeys from Poland in the late 19th century. Her grandmother's story touches her deeply. She hears about Albert and Sara, who leave for America just one step ahead of revenue agents; Peter and Ursula, who dream of a land without oppression; and Francis and Anna, who emigrate rather than endure rule by the Russians, even though Anna was forced to travel alone. Listening to their stories brings strength to Olivia, who learns of their courage in creating new lives. Set in the 1960s, the novel also highlights the history of Poland in the 1800s, when it existed mainly in the minds of its people because the country did not exist from 1795 to 1918. Without a homeland to call their own, immigrants to the United States had to claim Germany, Russia or Austria as their native country, and more than a million did so in that timeframe. Like Olivia's ancestors, they found community in neighborhoods and Roman Catholic churches that spoke their language and followed Polish customs. Journey to Polonia echoes the author's own family history of immigrants and will resonate with anyone who has taken a chance on a better way of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impact intrapreneurs at some of the most powerful organizations in the world are designing new, more sustainable businesses from within. They put their values to work and transform their corporations into a force for good. In a corporate world that still largely prioritizes profit above all else, these people shine a light on how to balance profit with impact, and the inspirational stories captured in this book guide leaders and managers to do the same. The lack of purpose beyond profit is causing millions of people to question their work and even to leave the corporate world altogether. Companies are struggling with recruitment and retention, as people seek a greater sense of purpose. For many, this would mean finding a way to use their work as a platform for positive social and environmental impact. This book will inspire this change for leaders seeking a different and better way forward. Structured around the stages of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey – upon which Star Wars was based – this book combines the philosophy of Star Wars with inspiring stories of impact intrapreneurs. You’ll get to know Corporate Jedi such as Susie Lonie and Nick Hughes, who, while working for Vodafone in Kenya introduced a mobile payment method which brought financial inclusion to millions; Myriam Sidibé at Unilever, who turns making soap into saving lives; and Gib Bulloch, founder of Accenture Development Partnerships, which provides first-class consulting services to NGOs leveraging their impact. With actionable advice, such as how to create a business case, how to measure social impact, and more, the book is not only an entertaining read, but also helps executives apply insights to their own daily work. Written for leaders, managers, and all professionals looking to create positive impact through their work, this book will give future Corporate Jedi the courage and tools to use the force of business for good.
