Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us have one--a place where we store mementos that remind us of an earlier period in our lives--either happy or sad. Those ties to our past are commonly found in a similar place, hidden in a shoebox buried at the back of a closet shelf. It's called The Shoebox Effect--where you "forget", intentionally or unintentionally, about the contents of the box and what they represent. Marcie Keithley's shoebox contained a secret, one she kept for decades, one released when her shoebox was unexpectedly revealed in a moment of grief. A flood of memories and emotions were unleashed when the lid was knocked off. No longer able to deny what she had sequestered away in her closet and in her spirit, the revelation created challenges for Marcie, but it also did something positively unexpected. Releasing the truth began a cascade that resulted in a freedom Marcie did not know was possible. The dramatic story of this long-kept secret, which has been reported globally on major networks and in newspapers across America, will intrigue and enthrall you. But Marcie Keithley doesn't just make her story all about her. Now known as The Shoebox Sherpa, she helps people unpack their own shoeboxes, and teaches us how to face our truths, heal our pasts, and find the freedom we deeply desire. Be prepared to consider Marcie's question to all of us, "What's in your shoebox?"

Book Synopsis The Life You Were Born to Give by : David H. McKinley
Download or read book The Life You Were Born to Give written by David H. McKinley and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2007-02-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything we have we've been given. Even our very lives are a gift from God, given so we can live to give, not live to get. Yet it is our tendency in life to absorb, to take in without distribution resulting in a "souring" of all that is good and a separation from all that is intended. In The Life You Were Born to Give, David McKinley helps readers shift their focus from getting all they can out of life to giving their lives away, for Christ. Guiding them through the book of Romans, the transformational message includes: A Life Delivered (Romans 1-11) A Life Devoted (Romans 12: 1-2) A Life Distributed (Romans 12-16) "Recommended for readers looking for a basic approach to spiritual growth." -Don Morgan, Aspiring Retail

Book Synopsis Life Was Simpler Then by : Michael Carolin
Download or read book Life Was Simpler Then written by Michael Carolin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-12 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when being poor was the norm and neighbors had a meaningful place in what is now referred to as just "the hood," growing up was much simpler. Humor was the narcotic du jour and the poor to be pitied were in China or some other far-off place. Single parent families were almost unheard of. Mothers were homemakers and fathers provided as best they could. Without television or the Internet, radio and a movie matinee would nurture a child's imagination, providing limitless possibilities. This provided an inexpensive high lost on today's younger generation. The author will take you back on a humorous trip, meeting his immediate family, his colorful relatives, and the adventurous friends with whom he grew up. He writes of the cheerful optimism that was prevalent. Depression was, to him and his peers, a financial term. Making do was a way of life.
Download or read book Emotions of life written by Martin Tidén and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-08-17 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotions of life is a book about emotions: what they are, how they play a central role in our lives and the extent to which they influence our behavior and decisions. Emotions are in essence an expression of the human organisms basic life process. Emotions are autonomous physical response processes that we are unable to consciously control, such as the anger that activates when our physical boundaries are violated or the happiness we feel when we meet an old friend. Feelings are our experience of emotions and other affective responses. We experience these processes inside our bodies and in this way feeling connects body and mind. The first part of the book contains a detailed description of the physiology, function and dynamics of emotion and feeling. This includes descriptions of our basic emotions: fear, anger, sadness, happiness and love, as well as processes similar to emotions such as pain, sexuality, shame and guilt. The second part of the book focuses on personality and the extensive influence the emotional system has on its development. We learn at an early age which emotions may be expressed and which are not accepted. As a result we hold back unaccepted emotions, creating a fertile soil for psychological problems and conflicts later in life. Engaging in a process of emotional regulation, we can heal old emotional wounds and experience self-acceptance and a growing self-love.
Download or read book Memory Unbound written by Lucy Bond and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though still a relatively young field, memory studies has undergone significant transformations since it first coalesced as an area of inquiry. Increasingly, scholars understand memory to be a fluid, dynamic, unbound phenomenon—a process rather than a reified object. Embodying just such an elastic approach, this state-of-the-field collection systematically explores the transcultural, transgenerational, transmedial, and transdisciplinary dimensions of memory—four key dynamics that have sometimes been studied in isolation but never in such an integrated manner. Memory Unbound places leading researchers in conversation with emerging voices in the field to recast our understanding of memory’s distinctive variability.

Book excerpt: A coming-of-age story with true love at its core, Greetings from Tucson tells the story of four sisters' lives through the lens of handwritten letters. These long lost letters, found decades after they were penned, once formed a lifeline that held them together when their worlds were otherwise falling apart. In June of 1945, tragedy struck, and Cookie, Frankie, Dottie, and Connie were torn from everything they knew-their parents, their home, and, most importantly, each other. Forced to live thousands of miles apart, they feared their bond would be broken. The sisters began writing letters to each other to celebrate their milestones and mourn every heartbreak. Through those letters, they found a way to strengthen their sisterhood when the odds were so stacked against them. The letters were like prisms, reflecting their lives from childhood into adulthood, as they fell in love or fulfilled their lifelong dreams. That is, until one sister's secret from the past changed everything. Would she break the fragile bond they worked so hard to nurture after their fateful split so many years ago?
Book Synopsis From Boys to Men by : Bret Stephenson
Download or read book From Boys to Men written by Bret Stephenson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-10-25 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to restoring the successful models used by ancient cultures the world over to raise adolescent boys • Explains the negative effects of Western youth culture and how it can be transformed • Offers instructions for integrating basic rites of passage into modern family life and youth programs For tens of thousands of years all across the globe, societies have been coping with raising adolescents. Why is it then that native cultures never had the need for juvenile halls, residential treatment centers, mood-altering drugs, or boot camps? How did they avoid the high incidence of teen violence America is experiencing, and how did they prevent their youth from relying on drugs and alcohol, the use of which has become so prevalent in Western society? In From Boys to Men, Bret Stephenson shows readers that older cultures didn’t magically avoid adolescence; instead they developed successful rituals and rites of passage for sculpting teen boys into healthy young men. From Aleutian Eskimos to Polynesian Islanders, from tribal Africans to Australian Aborigines, each culture found archetypal ways to initiate their boys into the adult community. Stephenson explains the basics of rites of passage and offers insight into how to reintroduce these successful practices and traditional understandings into modern family life and programs for youth. He discusses the damaging effects of our youth culture and the negative teen products that are fueled by corporate America and reveals how we can counteract these negative forces by using meaningful rites of passage to create a society with happy and healthy adolescent boys.
Book Synopsis Women's Sexuality Across the Life Span by : Judith C. Daniluk
Download or read book Women's Sexuality Across the Life Span written by Judith C. Daniluk and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2003-06-09 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond a traditional focus on sexual functioning, this book emphasizes the complex interaction of psychological, social, cultural and biological influences on womens's sense of themselves as sexual beings. Written for practitioners and educators, its goal is to challenge contradictory messages and meanings that cause many women to feel disconnected from their bodies and from their needs and desires.

The book features creative exercises and interventions to help girls and women construct more affirming sexual meanings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of shorter pieces, Victor J. Banis demonstrates once again the astonishing breadth of his talent, covering virtually every facet of the human experience with astonishing brevity and clarity. Here are pathos and heartache, love and horror, irony -- and humor, especially humor, dry and wry and roll-on-the-floor-clutching-your-sides funny. It would be a hard man indeed who could read the adventures of his Underground Diner -- which take up much of the last half of the book and aptly skewer the ubiquitous and often pretentious food writing column -- without guffawing aloud.

Download or read book Bits of Life written by Anneke M. Smelik and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since World War II, the biological and technological have been fusing and merging in new ways, resulting in the loss of a clear distinction between the two. This entanglement of biology with technology isn't new, but the pervasiveness of that integration is staggering, as is the speed at which the two have been merging in recent decades. As this process permeates more of everyday life, the urgent necessity arises to rethink both biology and technology. Indeed, the human body can no longer be regarded either as a bounded entity or as a naturally given and distinct part of an unquestioned whole. Bits of Life assumes a posthuman definition of the body. It is grounded in questions about today's biocultures, which pertain neither to humanist bodily integrity nor to the anthropological assumption that human bodies are the only ones that matter. Editors Anneke Smelik and Nina Lykke aid in mapping changes and transformations and in striking a middle road between the metaphor and the material. In exploring current reconfigurations of bodies and embodied subjects, the contributors pursue a technophilic, yet critical, path while articulating new and thoroughly appraised ethical standards.
