Book excerpt: Until the age of twelve, Georgia Lee Kay-Stern believed she was Jewish — the story of her Cree birth family had been kept secret. Now she’s living on her own and attending first year university, and with her adoptive parents on sabbatical in Costa Rica, the old questions are back. What does it mean to be Native? How could her life have been different? As Winnipeg is threatened by the flood of the century, Georgia Lee’s brutal murder sparks a tense cultural clash. Two families wish to claim her for burial. But Georgia Lee never figured out where she belonged, and now other people have to decide for her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it really mean to be a grown up in today’s world? We assume that once we “get it together” with the right job, marry the right person, have children, and buy a home, all is settled and well. But adulthood presents varying levels of growth, and is rarely the respite of stability we expected. Turbulent emotional shifts can take place anywhere between the age of thirty-five and seventy when we question the choices we’ve made, realize our limitations, and feel stuck— commonly known as the “midlife crisis.” Jungian psycho-analyst James Hollis believes it is only in the second half of life that we can truly come to know who we are and thus create a life that has meaning. In Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life, Hollis explores the ways we can grow and evolve to fully become ourselves when the traditional roles of adulthood aren’t quite working for us, revealing a new way of uncovering and embracing our authentic selves. Offering wisdom to anyone facing a career that no longer seems fulfilling, a long-term relationship that has shifted, or family transitions that raise issues of aging and mortality, Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life provides a reassuring message and a crucial bridge across this critical passage of adult development.

Download or read book Life Lessons written by Lawrence Webb and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every experience of life holds potential for learning spiritual and moral lessons. This book looks at four areas of creative expression - stories, songs, poems, and plays - and discovers Life Lessons with spiritual and moral significance. As a Christian minister, retired university professor, lover of music, community theater actor and director, writer and editor, the author says he finds theological relevance in these four arts areas. Some contain strong, direct expressions of Christian faith, others are less direct, and still others have no obvious connection with God or things religious. Even so, he has learned from each story, song, poem, and play and offers a Life Lesson from each. Stories include The Shack and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Songs include Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" and "We Shall Overcome." Poems include works by William Cullen Bryant, John Milton, John Keats, and Rudyard Kipling. Theater offerings include Broadway musicals, Fiddler on the Roof and Cabaret, and straight plays, Inherit the Wind and Death of a Salesman.

Book excerpt: A deeply personal story of one man's life-long obsession with an ancient poet, and an exploration of what Horace's thoughts on life, leisure and love can teach us today 'A moving memoir that shakes the dust off Horace – and restores him to his rightful berth among the immortals' Harry Mount, author of Amo, Amas, Amat... 'Delightful ... Its seductive interweaving of a modern life and an ancient one will encourage a wider readership of this most appealing of Latin writers, even if only in translation' Economist Horace lived at a pivotal moment. Rome was facing a profound crisis: though it ruled the world, the values which had made it great were disintegrating. As efficiency and pragmatism became watchwords, Horace championed the 'supremely useless' endeavour of poetry, and glorified friendship and wine. Horace and Me charts Harry Eyres' evolving relationship with the Latin poet to show how, in an era of affluence and excess which seems to be hurtling out of control, Horace can help us navigate our way in uncertain times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandra Ludwig's poetry comes from the deep well within her soul. It is always strong with emotion. Her voice carries the reader into those places of life, with glimpses of reality, hidden away in the deep parts of our own souls. Hers is a powerful voice. -Joy Barefoot, poet, Hoots, Howls and Belly Growls, Poetry for Little People and the Young at Heart Ludwig has mastered a difficult art form. Her poetry is to be savored, a treasured reflection on life. -Jocelyn Limpert, Editor Ludwig's art reflects a kind of beauty that is not always pretty! There is certainly a beauty in the way she bends words to her will. There is beauty in the rhythm, cadence, and cleverness of her storytelling. This daughter of the south digs deeper and speaks to the truths of human relationships most of us live ... but fear to speak. This collection is a masterwork of poetry. -Patrick Ellis PhD, Goose Creek Studio/Portiuncula Guild Sandy's poetry is artful and deeply generous. Her willingness to explore the emotions that seem unbearable and transform them into poems that are both beautifully rendered and crystal clear in their point of view is almost heroic. I am better for having encountered her work, and you will be too. -Catherine Backus, songwriter and music therapist This poetry in not for the faint-of-heart. It is powerful, bittersweet, and true. Ms. Ludwig's poems are haunting love songs to life, crafted from her own story. The mix of light-hearted moments with brutal truths is undergird by the author's undying commitment to hope and love. It is poetry that you will want to re-read and share with your loved ones. -Peggy M. Vogel, Ph.D. Licensed Professional Counselor Licensed Psycho-Educational Specialist

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.
