Book excerpt: On December 10, 2007, just three months shy of her thirtieth birthday, Tyesha Love received a phone call that would change her life forever. After being told she had stage 2 breast cancer, Tyesha's world stopped, the walls closed in, and she fell to the floor sobbing. This is the story of her compelling journey through breast cancer from diagnosis to treatment to triumph. As a single parent, full-time student, and full-time employee, Tyesha, a self-confessed control freak, already had her entire year planned out when she received her diagnosis. No stranger to confronting daily challenges, Tyesha relays how she placed her worries and fears in God's hands and then courageously confronted the tests, surgeries, treatments, and recovery. While sharing the poignant moments like when her one-year-old nephew blew a kiss at her cancer-ridden breast, Tyesha also provides a self-disclosing glimpse into what it is like to fear the unknown, feel the physical pain after a mastectomy, and face herself in the mirror after she loses her hair. Tyesha's moving story is intended to be a testimony for those battling breast cancer with the hope that her journey will become the inspiration to persevere and prevail while believing in faith, hope, and life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT DO I DO WITH MY PAIN? Preparing for church on October 10, 2010, I was reminded of the ways in which I was being used by God in accomplishing HIS will. I am truly grateful, appreciative and remorseful all at the same time. Remorseful because I can remember a time I not only ran from God and what HE had to offer me, but I doubted HIS existence. Grateful because in spite of me and my past, God still loved me [John 15:13] and wanted nothing but the best for me. Appreciative because God never stopped trying to reach me! In creating me for a purpose with a purpose, HE was persistent in HIS approach in making sure I receive my inheritance. Persistent to the point of revealing HIMSELF to me and allowing me to see myself through HIS eyes! My passion for God this day is nothing like I would have imagined. Great is my boldness of speech toward YOU, great is my glorying of YOU: I am filled with comfort, I am exceedingly joyful in all my tribulation. [2 Corinthians 7] Ordering my steps while rebuilding my confidence (trust, belief) and faith in HIM, God was training me to be fearless and teaching me to fight for the uplifting of the Kingdom. Finally, unselfishly yielding myself to HIM, HE gradually enlightened me to HIS plan for my life. Then I realized God was and is with me always as I gladly accepted my assignment in knowing God was deliberately putting me in situations [sending me in places where there was darkness to be HIS light]. Once I was in, God gave me no way out as HE forced me to stand and fight. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [Romans 8:15] So, this is not a time for passivity! It is a time for all of God's children to join in Spirit as we connect to God's heart in fulfilling HIS will.

This book was released on 2022-12-19 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, historically white institutions have advanced their focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion practices within their organizations. Today, many organizations feature diversity practitioners within their workforce. Despite this, many historically white institutions such as education, business, and healthcare organizations still face systemic racism from within. In the wake of the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism, it is essential for historically white institutions to listen to the experiences of Black women diversity practitioners so that they may implement the necessary changes to promote a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment. The Experiences of Black Women Diversity Practitioners in Historically White Institutions centers on Black women’s experiences before, during, and after the dual pandemics at historically white higher education, corporate America, and healthcare institutions and how these experiences have affected their ability to perform their jobs. The stories and research provided offer crucial information for institutions to look inward at the cultures and practices for their organizations that directly impact Black women diversity practitioners. Covering topics such as guidance in leadership, Black woman leadership, and mindfulness training, this premier reference source is an essential resource for higher education staff and administration, Black women diversity practitioners, administration, leaders in business, hospital administration, libraries, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do not be deceived: racism is still brewing in South Africa. The author shares about how she experienced firsthand rejection when she fell in love with a white man. In spite of being a sought after career woman, she was unequivocally rejected because of the colour of her skin. When love fi nds a grown up black village girl and white farm boy, nothing can be the same again. The seemingly unlikely online connection transforms their lives, that of their children and the unborn generations within them. The tone is honest. The author dares to ask questions that are often sidetracked and raises the alarm. Her unpretentious pitch is most captivating and allows for the reader to connect with her. She uses some of her most intimate and discreet encounters to relay a story that is not a story at all. If you found an open journal would you read it? Greatness resides within you. Dont wait for others to acknowledge it. Recognize it and run with it! (Wini Mgidi) Only a few people could guess that the prominent woman, standing accomplished and still soaring today, came from the humble, ashy streets of rural Mpumalanga. Her less privileged past is the very same thing that gives her hope and confidence. Ambitious and determined to grasp whatever she sets her mind into, she is a young, well-travelled person with visions not only set on international benchmarks but are often surpassed by her inner drive and relentless pursuit to see them materialise before her.

Book excerpt: Readjusting My Crown is a compilation of how I used social media and journaling to find my purpose. In this thing called life, we are not giving clear-cut directions on how to live life abundantly and successfully. To the world, I may seem like I have everything together and under control. Heck, others have labeled me as strong. These adjectives are the furthest thing from being the truth. As part of my transparency, I wanted to share with the world how I found my purpose. This is only the beginning. In 2016, I started posting Docs Corner on Facebook, and prior to that, I would do an annual reflection on New Years Eve. Docs Corner was developed as a way for me to cope with everyday stressors. I use Docs Corner to verbalize my frustrations, as well as look at the situation as a lesson learned. Docs Corner is my platform to vent, to stand on my soapbox, and to discuss how I feel with a little inspiration. I did not realize that many of my friends on Facebook enjoyed reading my post. After positive feedback, I decided to make it a book to reach more people in hopes of inspiring them. This is part of my journey as Dr. Harris. On this journey, I had to readjust my crown more than once. I pray that this book helps you to look at life differently.

Book excerpt: A genre-defining—and redefining—collection of the boldest, most rebellious, and most prescient speculative fiction, featuring stories from all over the globe. “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” Almost forty years ago, William Gibson wrote the line that began Neuromancer—and a movement that would change the face of science fiction. Award-winning anthologist Jared Shurin brings together over a hundred stories from more than twenty-five countries that both establish and subvert the classic cyberpunk tropes and aesthetic—from gritty, near-future noir to pulse-pounding action. Urban rebels undermine monolithic corporate overlords. Daring heists are conducted through back alleys and the darkest parts of the online world. There’s dangerous new technology, cybernetic enhancements, scheming AI, corporate mercenaries, improbable weapons, and roguish hackers. These tales examine the near-now, extrapolating the most provocative trends into fascinating and plausible futures. We live in an increasingly cyberpunk world—packed with complex technologies and globalized social trends. A world so bizarre that even futurists couldn’t explain it—though many authors in this book have come closer than most. As both an introduction to the genre and the perfect compendium for the lifelong fan, The Big Book of Cyberpunk offers a hundred ways to understand where we are and where we’re going.

It turned out to be only a test of endurance for Connie and many of the participants. Her prediction that someone could be seriously hurt came true in October 2009 when three people died and 18 participants were injured during a sweat lodge run by James Arthur Ray and his staff. After injuries at his previous events, why didn't Ray get the message he was literally playing with fire? Connie and her husband attended 27 events over three years presented by James Arthur Ray, "Rock Star of Personal Transformation." As this book is released, Ray is charged with three counts of manslaughter and faces a criminal trial in Arizona as well as numerous civil suits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cup of Buddha: reflections on truth discusses how to take the journey toward inner peace, toward truth in entertaining, simple language beyond the abstract and mystical concepts typically found in eastern philosophy books. The book applies eastern philosophy to western living utilizing pop culture and music metaphors to explore dense topics in an easy to digest format. Individuals are restless, and unhappy. We search for the water to put out our fire of discontent filling this space with self help books, food, new cars, relationships, and more, all with short term satisfaction but our fire still burns. We look outward, we look to others, yet the fire rages. A Cup of Buddha: reflections on truth addresses this fire within each of us, exploring the actual journey toward truth, understanding that each moment in life is everything, and we alone ultimately make this choice toward happiness.
