Book Synopsis Helping Yourself Help Others by : Rosalynn Carter
Download or read book Helping Yourself Help Others written by Rosalynn Carter and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chances are good that every one of us will become a caregiver at some point in our lives. We come to this challenge in the most personal way possible—we want to help someone we love, but we don't know how, and we're afraid of losing ourselves in this daunting task. If you have picked up this book, you are probably a caring person. You may prove that every day by helping someone who is elderly or developmentally disabled or who suffers from a physical or mental illness. It helps to know that Rosalynn Carter, former First Lady and a director of the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Human Development, which is committed to studying caregiving issues, knows firsthand the challenges of this labor of love. From her own personal experience as a caregiver for her father and grandfather and from that of hundreds of caregivers she has encountered before, during, and since her years in the White House, Mrs. Carter knows that caregiving can be rewarding, but also lonely, stressful, confusing, and frustrating. In Helping Yourself Help Others, Mrs. Carter writes, “Caregivers give so much of themselves and sometimes receive very little in return. The purpose of this book is to encourage you, to empathize with you, and to advocate for your special needs. I hope it will help you have an easier and more enjoyable life.” Mrs. Carter addresses the issues most caregivers face. How do you avoid burnout—the sense of feeling completely overwhelmed and unrewarded? How do you balance your responsibilities as a caregiver with the rest of your life? How can you enlist the aid of other family members? How can you educate yourself about your loved one's condition and work more effectively with the health care team? When is an institution the right choice for your loved one? How can you access helpful associations, literature and government aid? (A helpful appendix lists hundreds of resources.) Helping Yourself Help Others is a rare combination of a warmly personal account of caregiving and a reassuring, clear-eyed guidebook that offers practical solutions to caregiver's typical problems. Filled with empathy, this sensitive, encouraging guide will help you meet a difficult challenge head-on and find fulfillment and empowerment in your caregiving role.

Book Synopsis Teaching with Fire by : Sam M. Intrator
Download or read book Teaching with Fire written by Sam M. Intrator and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-10-10 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclaim Your Fire "Teaching with Fire is a glorious collection of the poetry that has restored the faith of teachers in the highest, most transcendent values of their work with children....Those who want us to believe that teaching is a technocratic and robotic skill devoid of art or joy or beauty need to read this powerful collection. So, for that matter, do we all." ?Jonathan Kozol, author of Amazing Grace and Savage Inequalities "When reasoned argument fails, poetry helps us make sense of life. A few well-chosen images, the spinning together of words creates a way of seeing where we came from and lights up possibilities for where we might be going....Dip in, read, and ponder; share with others. It's inspiration in the very best sense." ?Deborah Meier, co-principal of The Mission Hill School, Boston and founder of a network of schools in East Harlem, New York "In the Confucian tradition it is said that the mark of a golden era is that children are the most important members of the society and teaching is the most revered profession. Our jour ney to that ideal may be a long one, but it is books like this that will sustain us - for who are we all at our best save teachers, and who matters more to us than the children?" ?Peter M. Senge, founding chair, SoL (Society for Organizational Learning) and author of The Fifth Discipline Those of us who care about the young and their education must find ways to remember what teaching and learning are really about. We must find ways to keep our hearts alive as we serve our students. Poetry has the power to keep us vital and focused on what really matters in life and in schooling. Teaching with Fire is a wonderful collection of eighty-eight poems from such well-loved poets as Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, Billy Collins, Emily Dickinson, and Pablo Neruda. Each of these evocative poems is accompanied by a brief story from a teacher explaining the significance of the poem in his or her life's work. This beautiful book also includes an essay that describes how poetry can be used to grow both personally and professionally. Teaching With Fire was written in partnership with the Center for Teacher Formation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Royalties from this book will be used to fund scholarship opportunities for teachers to grow and learn.

Book Synopsis Courage Under Siege by : Peggy Lee Hanson
Download or read book Courage Under Siege written by Peggy Lee Hanson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributing Authors: Susan De Robertis, Leigh Dundas, Susan Glusica, Donna Kozik, Geetha Krishnan, Lianda Ludwig, Connie McCracken, Julia Neiman, Holly Pitas, Tammy Trayer Many people are candid, yet shy, about sharing their life with the world. But what often happens is that they can no longer keep that knowledge, that message, inside of them. When the stress becomes too much for the size of the bud, there is no other choice but to let go and allow the expansion of what no longer wishes to be kept hidden. Anais Nin says it best: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." This is often, and not unlikely in every case, when the Maya Angelous, the Oprah Winfreys, the Arthur Millers, the Steven Spielbergs, the Johann Sebastian Bachs, or those who run for the high-profile elected offices can no longer play small, as the message of what's buried inside of them, needs to be shared with the world! And the sooner the better! Oh, the beauty of the bloom! Peggy Lee Hanson in her book, Courage Under Siege: Adversity to Victory, shares 11 such stories of women who can no longer be silent. They personally tell of their struggles and trials endured, which were the turning points, the catalyst necessary to be broken wide open and released from their chains and shackles. You will read about Julia and how she lost her job, only to continue with her passion of helping teens become wealthy and healthy adults. Tammy shares the story of when her son was diagnosed with Autism, and how living off-grid has helped him to become a thriving young adult. Leigh tells two stories of girls involved in human sex trafficking and how they wanted to share their story because the world needs to hear what they have to say. Susan G. talks about how she went from $200,000 in debt down to zero debt all on her own. You will read other stories, no less important, of what truly is the cause of obesity, taking risks in a strange and unfamiliar place, surviving the cancer death sentence, going from ready to file bankruptcy to making over $7,000 in just one weekend, and much more. Do you have your own story to tell? You may think that courage was not involved during that horrific time of hardship and strife. But, oh, let me be the first one to tell you how brave you were to continue day in and day out until you came out of the throes of bad times. Many don't have the strength you showed, getting up each morning to face God-only-knows-what. But you did make it through! You experienced some awfully hard and difficult circumstances and events. There is no doubt about that. But you also experienced joy from them. Seriously, there is no gain without pain. There is no joy without the lowest of the lowest moments. God or whoever is your Spiritual Source, with his or her or its Infinite Wisdom planned that all who suffer will have peace; and after discovering that peace, you realized you acquired the tools and the knowledge to share your story in order to lessen the pain and hurt someone else is feeling. As I speak with my colleagues in coaching and writing, they, too, have come to this very same conclusion: we are here on this earth to help our neighbor. And that is the exact reason these 11 women share their story.
