The Driving Equality project started off as just another big idea. A 107-day, 22,000-mile trek through most of the lower 48 states to meet, interview, and share the stories of LGBT Americans and their allies. It was a daunting plan, but Chris Mason was determined to make it happen. This book follows his journey across the country as he meets LGBT Americans where they live, in small towns and big cities. With little more than a camera, a computer, a sleeping bag, and a sense of adventure, all packed into one van, Chris and his friend Potter hit the road for nearly four months. Chris chronicled the trip with daily posts and photos from the road. Follow along as Chris travels into the heart of LGBT America.

Many books purport to offer tips on how to thrive in the business world, but personal and business success really comes down to one thing: Value to Others. And if one always strives to provide value and help others, self-worth improves, leading to continual growth. This concept of growing self-worth by providing value is the first in a series of fifty-two business insights this invaluable handbook addresses. Years ago, at only thirty-five, author Dr. Chris Mason was appointed CEO of an international public company. But he soon discovered that its finances were in shambles-and his board lacking direction and clear strategies. Determined, he spent a full year working through every single issue-it was his hardest year ever, but it was also his best. Being forced to learn everything the hard way with little support provided him the critical business experience he needed. He founded Mindshop in 1994, a company offering thousands of business leaders, advisors, and professional services each year the kind of support and training he himself would have treasured. Now, Value to Others offers the wisdom of Mindshop to a wider audience. Each presenting an anecdote, an explanation, and implementation tips, these insights will help business professionals everywhere including CEO's, junior managers, consultants, and accountants-reach their goals.

When her marriage implodes, Rose Summer must leave behind everything she loved: Her husband, her home, her shop, even her dog. With nowhere else to go, she returns to the only other place she ever felt happy: Key West, a bawdy tourist town at the tip of the Florida Keys. Working as a waitress in the same busy restaurant she served when she was young, and living with two other women-a stolid bistro manager and a rowdy singer/songwriter-her once joyful life has grown small and bleak. Then she meets Kurt, a wanderer with a tragic past of his own. Following an instinct she can't explain, Rose tries to draw him out of his shell and back into the world. Overcoming mistakes, misunderstandings, and the unwanted attentions of a potentially dangerous stalker, Rose opens her heart to Kurt and convinces him that life could be better. Together, these two wounded souls can find happiness again, but only if they can overcome the obstacles that life throws at them. Like a turtle on the beach, they must navigate off the rocks and take one slow, careful step at a time across the sands toward fulfillment.
