Download or read book Dancing with Discomfort: A framework for noticing, naming, and navigating our in-between moments written by Carey Borkoski and published by John Catt. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitions are universal. They include the important and familiar milestones of starting kindergarten, graduating from high school or college, and becoming employed, parents, or retirees. These transitional moments, however, also include unexpected or unanticipated events like losing a job, joining a running club, or experiencing a global pandemic. In each of these moments, individuals, groups, and organizations experience the anxiety, self-doubt, worry, and uncertainty associated with these novel experiences. Our natural response to these moments is to avoid, side-step, or hurry through until this moment of transition is over. The problem with these strategies is that while we are trying to shut out the unpleasant feelings of those moments, we also miss all the possibilities and discovery. What if we invested time, training, and space to learn, experiment with and strengthen our ability to wrestle with and successfully navigate these moments of transition? Whether a significant transition like moving into a new school or just shifting from one project to the next, we need to build strategies and techniques to leverage and learn from the discomfort that individuals experience during these moments. This book offers names and faces for our feelings, thoughts, and reactions in our transitions. It is based on sound research and data collected by the author and other researchers but is also based on the author’s experiences, mistakes, reflection, and learning from doing the work in different contexts. It includes a framework to learn to stay in these transitions, embrace dissonance, and leverage these moments of discovery. Whether you want to introduce this transitions framework and strategies in a classroom, boardroom, or your own life, this book is for you and your organization to start the intentional work to create spaces, and time to name, feel, explore, reflect on, and move through the myriad transitions occurring during our personal and professional journeys.

Since moving to Bonney Bay several months ago with her recently divorced sister, Brenna Battle, a former judo Olympian, has managed to start a judo school for kids and survive run-ins with four different murderers. While she’s won over the Bonney Bay police—especially the dark-eyed, dimpled Officer Will Riggins—Brenna’s entanglement with yet another murder has her in hot water with detectives from the neighboring town that has jurisdiction over Roberson’s murder. Chased by a yappy little dog, dodging a jilted bride, nearly undone by chocolate ganache, and forced to subsist on stale marshmallows in the Sasquatch-infested wilderness, Brenna and her sister Blythe must cut through the sticky layers surrounding the mysterious death of the area’s most popular wedding cake baker before it’s too late.Slayer Cake is the fifth book in the clean, humorous cozy mystery series featuring Brenna Battle. Each of the Brenna Battle mysteries is a complete story with no cliff-hanger endings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of finding and making the best possible match is not an easy one. On the contrary, from an emotional perspective finding, making, maintaining, and enriching an intimate partnership is one of the most challenging tasks an adult faces. There must be an attraction or a "spark" for a true match to be made. When a couple comes for counseling, they come with the hope that their relationship can be renewed-that they can capture the heat and the emotion that they once had together. The Couple's Match Book: Lighting, Rekindling, or Extinguishing the Flame explores relationship theory and research. Including self-assessment activities to help determine what actions to take to improve relationships, this guild offers information that focuses on understanding and respecting personality differences, role perceptions, communication, and problem-solving. The balance of the book shares personal stories written by couples detailing their own experiences in an effort to help others in improving their intimate relationships. The Couple's Match Book: Lighting, Rekindling, or Extinguishing the Flame can be used as a supplemental text in marriage and family courses, as well as a primary resource in couples counseling and marriage and family therapy.

Book excerpt: Rebecca Eckler is a popular newspaper columnist who lives the fabulous life and gets paid to write about it. So when a tipsy romp with her fiancé on the night of their lavish engagement party leaves her unexpectedly expecting, she is utterly at a loss. How will a woman who loves nothing more than a night out on the town sipping cocktails with her fellow party girls survive the pregnant life? Knocked Up is the witty, engaging and refreshingly frank chronicle of a modern woman’s journey into motherhood. We follow Eckler from the first trimester (a.k.a. the longest three months of her life), through the “fat months” of the second trimester, on to the "even fatter months" of the third. Flipping the pages of this Bridget-Jones-style diary, we share in Eckler’ s discovery of prenatal vitamins and nursing bras, ultrasounds and obstetricians. And we experience her growing horror at the physical symptoms of pregnancy: all-day “morning” sickness, fatigue, varicose veins, and cravings. And the weight gain, oh the weight gain. Who knew the day would come when she could no longer put on her own socks? Along for the ride is a cast of characters as comical as any met in fiction. There’s the Sexy Young Intern, a Sophia Loren look-a-like with her skinny eyes set on Eckler’s job; the glamorous friends who continue to drink Manhattans, while Eckler sips Perrier; and the Cute Single Man who knows just when she needs a carton of ice cream or a game of Scrabble. And then there’s the fiancé, living in another city, who, thanks to the miracle of long-distance phone lines, appreciates better than anybody the highs and lows of the hormonal rollercoaster pregnant Eckler is on. Lighthearted, intimate, and very funny, Knocked Up is the diary of a modern mother-to-be determined not to let pregnancy and motherhood change her life. Not. One. Little. Bit.

Book excerpt: “I think it's cool,” Howie said, from his hunched-over position. The rain was lessening. “Here we are, supposed to be getting together with Greenpeace and protesting this lab opening. And we just randomly show up at the wrong gate. Five kids with nature powers. Fire, and water, and plants, and animals. And electricity.” He nodded toward Olaudah. “Christian kids.” “Four kids,” I replied. “I don't have powers.” Howie’s eyes laughed at me. “I seen you playing with that fire, Cave Man. You make it do your will.” His native drawl was musical, soft and reserved, merciless and accepting at the same time. I shook my head. I was thinking, people who can't light fires shouldn't criticize those who can. But he was walking over to me. Reached out his hand, with a decisive look. “Gimme your lighter.” Fair enough. I handed it to him. He flicked it a couple times, to make sure it was working. Then he made a fist, and squirted butane gas into it from the thumb side. Then, with a flick and a scratch, he opened his hand, and held a ball of flame there for a second. “Ever did that?” I nodded. He reached out the lighter, expecting me to make a fist. I let him spray the gas into my hand, and then, at a nod from him, I flipped my hand over and opened it. The flames leaped up, an ephemeral orange ball. Tongues of flame licked the air around it, and then the fuel was gone, at one with the air. I looked at him. “So?” He held up the lighter, waved it. It was still in his hand. He hadn't lit the fire. “You have powers, white boy.”

Caught in a monsoon, the movie star exits the dark desolate interstate in search of someplace to eat and stay for the night. Julia Dearling, owner of the Starlight Diner, is stranded in her desert parking lot with a bygone battery and the memory of her newly dead relationship. When Katarina pulls in, neither of them guess that their life is about to turn upside-down and inside-out. In a town as big as a noodle, Desert Bluff has no motels. So Julia serves dinner to Katarina at the diner and then offers up her sculpting studio as a place for Katarina to stay. Drawn together in the night, their intoxicating romance begins. But when age is front and center and fame is at stake, the closeted movie star must face her reckoning. Smile Number Seven promises that second chance every true love deserves.
