Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As early as 5, my Mama, Lulu Jack, would frustratingly send me & my siblings packing, from Wisconsin, south, to Alabama for the Summer. I'd hop from my Grandmother Bonnie's Sun-baked front porch, cross the red dirt road, tree branches draping over them, like silk robes, no sidewalks, that official border County-line between Prichard to Mobile. I'd plop down, sweat beads Mardi Tuesday around my neck, meditating by the 100-plus year old Great Live Oak Tree, that still stands today. I'd sit under the coolness of Ms Dane's shade as She stands like some ancient Sentinel guarding over my best friend's crickety porch. Sipping my Camellia sinensis tea, Ms Dane opens another imaginary book conjuring up inside her tiny head. I'd rest at her bosom, listening to the rosy stories my Oracle slowly brews like hot Chili on a subzero February winter's day. "The deepest Oak roots, are also the branches...", My 110 year old best friend, chants to me. 'Ms D' is an herbalist, a grand master priestess. She teaches me ROSE MAGIC.
Download or read book Mother Daughter Wisdom written by Christiane Northrup, M.D. and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2006-03-28 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With such groundbreaking bestsellers as Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause, Dr. Christiane Northrup is one of today’s most trusted and visionary medical experts. Now she presents her most profound and revolutionary approach to women’s health. . . . The mother-daughter relationship sets the stage for our state of health and well-being for our entire lives. Because our mothers are our first and most powerful female role models, our most deeply ingrained beliefs about ourselves as women come from them. And our behavior in relationships—with food, with our children, with our mates, and with ourselves—is a reflection of those beliefs. Once we understand our mother-daughter bonds, we can rebuild our own health, whatever our age, and create a lasting positive legacy for the next generation. Mother-Daughter Wisdom introduces an entirely new map of female development, exploring the “five facets of feminine power,” which range from the basics of physical self-care to the discovery of passion and purpose in life. This blueprint allows any woman—whether or not she has children—–to repair the gaps in her own upbringing and create a better adult relationship with her mother. If she has her own daughter, it will help her be the mother she has always wanted to be. Drawing on patient case histories and personal experiences, Dr. Northrup also presents findings at the cutting edge of medicine and psychology. Discover: •How to lay the nutritional foundation to prevent eating disorders and adult diseases •The truth about the immunization controversy–and the true meaning of immunity •How we can change our genetic health legacy •Why financial literacy is essential to women’s health •How to foster healthy sexuality and future “love maps” in our daughters •How to balance independence with caring, and individual growth with family ties Written with warmth, enthusiasm, and rare intelligence, Mother-Daughter Wisdom is an indispensable book destined to change lives and become essential reading for all women.

Download or read book Woodshed Wisdom Vol 1 written by Freeman Martin and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine growing up in a clapboard farmhouse without running water, without an inside bathroom, where the sole source of heat was a two-sided fireplace and a wood-burning cookstove in the kitchen, and where air conditioning was non-existent. Now, with all the technological advances of the twenty-first century that allow us to communicate instantly with people all over the world, it's no surprise that we, as the most blessed nation on the face of the earth, are lightyears removed from the simpler time in which people looked to and depended on God's Word for answers to life's questions. Only history will determine if these powerful distractions have led to the extinction of the wisdom of the woodshed. In Woodshed Wisdom, Vol. 1, Freeman Martin gives his personal account of how he experienced God and his word while growing up on a southern farm in the 1950s. While reading, you will be transported to a humbler way of life and will find yourself desiring a simpler daily communion with God over the static of modern life. Freeman Martin is a gifted man of God...You will be blessed by his words of inspiration and homespun humor. —Dr. David Gallamore, Senior Pastor, Rock Springs Baptist Church, Easley, SC Freeman Martin has hit it out of the ballpark with Woodshed Wisdom, Vol. 1!

Congressman, South Carolina, Third District Jesus perfected the art of parable telling, earthly stories revealing heavenly truths.

Among the belongings he carries with him is a doll – a doll that comes to be known as The Silent Witness. Just under one hundred years later – on a warm summer night in 1963 – six-year-old William Blake first hears the story of his great, great grandfather’s Civil War service and how Willow Creek came to be Willow Creek, but hears nothing about The Silent Witness. And in 1990, William finally comes to know The Silent Witness and all not revealed back in 1963; that’s where our journey both begins and ends. What lies in between 1963 and 1990 is the saga of a family called Blake. Hippies and pot, feminism and family values, homosexuality and HIV, God’s will and personal responsibility – all collide as, one by one, and sometimes two by two, members of the Blake family struggle with the search for peace inside the turmoil that is life, until ultimately, William, the last of the family’s tortured souls, finds his peace in what his mother tells him would come to him in whispered words of wisdom.
Download or read book The Wit and Wisdom of Pinelog written by Paul G. "Jerry" Snyder and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wit and Wisdom of Pinelog By: Paul G. “Jerry” Snyder Pinelog is the imaginative alter ego of Paul G. “Jerry” Snyder. Many of the stories within The Wit and Wisdom of Pinelog are sort of true. At least, as Pinelog recalls. Ray is Ray Bolick. A neighbor up the road who is intolerant, opinionated, bullheaded, stubborn, downright crass, and a competitive old jock just like Pinelog. The two are good friends. Another Ray is Pinelog’s brother-in-law, Ray Denmark. Many of these could have been addressed to him as well. Both Rays are now hopefully holding a place open for Pinelog behind those pearly gates. The oft maligned character, Billy Bob, is one William Robert Carr, also known as Cool Breeze. He was an immediate friend the day he and Pinelog met. His wit and charm fell into a category of left space where definitions are not necessary. The artwork within the book is by Pinelog’s friend and award-winning artist, Jim Bennet. Jim's greatly discovered talent began while he was recovering from prostate cancer. His painting of 9/11 was accepted by the White House and hung on the wall outside the West Wing. The Pinelog Princess is Pinelog’s daughter, Kathy. She is Pinelog’s proofreader and computer technical advisor. Funny though, she doesn't have any of the same names for it that Pinelog does.
