I am finally happy!>Please feel free to use this as a manual explaining how you can reach the same level of bliss, happiness, joy, excitement, anticipation for the future, understanding, and peace: everything "this" embodies. When we enter this reality, when we are born, we are not given a User Manual. Well, wait no more, now you have one for this game called LIFE. I have uncovered: - The ONE rule to playing the game: Find the good in everything, - The purpose to playing the game: Unique to each of you, and>"A wise teacher teaches through approach, not avoidance. He does not emphasize what you must avoid to escape from harm, but what you need to learn to have joy." A Course In Miracles Text, pg 104. You will find everything in this book that will point you in the direction of joy. You already know exactly how to confine yourself through fear. You already know how to find and avoid that which brings you pain. What you don't know is how to break free from these chains to escape your fear prison and learn how to live "this".

From the award-winning Southern lifestyle magazine Garden & Gun comes this rich collection of some of the South's most notable women.For too long, the Southern woman has been synonymous with the Southern belle, a ?moonlight and magnolias? myth that gets nowhere close to describing the strong, richly diverse women who have thrived because of?and in some cases, despite of?the South. No more. Garden & Gun's Southern Women: More than 100 Stories of Trail Blazers, Visionaries, and Icons obliterates that stereotype by sharing the stories of more than 100 of the region's brilliant women, groundbreakers who have by turns embraced the South's proud traditions and overcome its equally pervasive barriers and challenges. Through interviews, essays, photos, and illustrations these remarkable chefs, musicians, actors, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, designers, and public servants will offer a dynamic portrait of who the Southern woman is now. The voices of bona fide icons such as Sissy Spacek, Leah Chase, and Loretta Lynn join those whose stories for too long have been overlooked or underestimated, from the pioneering Texas rancher Minnie Lou Bradley to the Gee's Bend, Alabama, quilter Mary Margaret Pettway?all visionaries who have left their indelible mark not just on Southern culture, but on America itself. By reading these stories of triumph, grit, and grace, the ties that bind the sisterhood of Southern women emerge: an unflinching resilience and resourcefulness, an inherent love of the land, a singular style and wit. And while the wisdom shared may be rooted in the Southern experience, the universal themes are sure to resonate beyond the Mason-Dixon.

This book is a way to bring awareness to the forgotten souls, making them unforgettable. When they decide to heal they need long term rehabilitative care in a place where they can feel safe, thrive and learn to love themselves again through forgiveness of their past, releasing the demons that keep them trapped in a living nightmare. With love the human potential can be met. I have a dream of opening a healing hospital for long term treatment to help people like this get back to a place that they can live in peace once more, freed from the demon that has taken hold of their lives. This is the reason that part of the proceeds from this book will go into a fund that will provide a means to continue rehabilitative care for the homeless and the addicted. The photos that accompany the stories tell their own story; they capture their inner pain through the windows of the soul, the eyes. Look into these faces and see their humanity, all of the beauty and soul shine that was captured during the documenting phases of this project.One act of kindness can have a ripple effect that can benefit many souls. Reach out your hand and lift another in love.

What happened to the promise of Tahrir Square and the Arab Spring?On January 25, 2011, the world was watching Cairo. Egyptians of every stripe came together in Tahrir Square to protest Hosni Mubaraks three decades of brutal rule. After many hopeful, turbulent years, however, Egypt seems to be back where it began, with another strongman, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, in power. How did this happen?In Circling the Square, Wendell Steavenson uses literary reportage to describe the intimate ironies and ad hoc movements of the Egyptian revolutionfrom Mubaraks fall to Mohammed Morsis. Vignettes, incidents, anecdotes, conversations, musings, observations and character sketches cast a fresh light on this vital Middle Eastern story.Closely observing a wide range of people from a thug in a slum with a homemade gun to the democracy/documentary makers on Tahrir Square, to fundamentalist imams and military intelligence officers, Steavenson dares to ask: what am I looking at and how can I begin to understand it?With a novelists eye for character, Steavenson paints indelible, instantly recognizable portraits and dilemmas that illuminate universal questions. What does democracy mean? What happens when a revolution throws the ideas and values of a society into crisis? What is a revolution, and, finally, what can it accomplish?

From blue collar to billionaire ... Hunter Valley mine electrician Nathan Tinkler borrowed big in 2005, made a fortune from several speculative coal plays, and by 2011 was a self-made billionaire. He had gambled and won, but his volatility and reluctance to pay his debts were making him enemies. He lived the high life as only a young man would, buying luxury homes, private jets, sports cars and football teams, and splurging massively to build a horseracing empire. But Tinkler's dreams had extended beyond even his resources, and his business model worked only in a rising market. When coal prices slumped in 2012, Tinkler had no cash flow to service his massive borrowings and no allies to help him recover. Within months he was trying desperately to stave off his creditors, large and small, and fighting to save his businesses and his fortune. In this impressive biography, leading business writer Paddy Manning tells the story of Tinkler's meteoric rise to wealth, and captures the drama of his equally rapid downfall.

Works of art move and inspire us to think in new ways. And their creation is within your reach -- the techniques required to create works of art simply take time, thoughtfulness, and a willingness to experiment. This sequel to Selling's popular "Writing from Within" includes a summary of his basic method which teaches you to write using the subject you know best: yourself. But "Writing from Deeper Within" also contains more advanced techniques that will show you how to expand your personal work into full-length plays, memoirs, screenplays, or novels. Selling gets rid of the mystery behind creating great art, by breaking the process down into easily understood steps. He shares techniques for backstory, creating strong characters, story pacing, exposition, denouement, developing unique voices within the same story, researching and writing family histories, using visual motifs, employing subtext, and separating the author from the main characters. Whether you have been writing for years and want to continue to improve or are just starting out, "Writing from Deeper Within" will help you turn what ever you are writing into a work of art.

The hilariously compelling memoir that was hailed as an instant classic.Hoi Polloi recounts a childhood spent on racetracks and in bars, as the author's parents struggle to climb the social ladder. It begins in 1968 in the small town of Heritage, New Zealand. Living above the bar of his family's hotel, the young Craig is exposed to violence, drinking and murky racial politics. His parents, whom Sherborne thinks of as "Winks" and "Heels" in his eccentric personal language, decide to sell the hotel and move to Sydney, Australia - which they imagine as New Zealand's "England", a place of boundless wealth, prestige and social opportunities.Once in Sydney, the family begins a love affair with the racing scene. Written with extraordinary sympathy and verve, Hoi Polloi is the portrait of an extraordinary childhood - brutal, poignant and unforgettable.
