Scholastics classic story, Harry the Dirty Dog, narrated in Spanish. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book is accessible to readers of all philosophical backgrounds. It comprehensively deals with helping the individual understand exactly what present moment awareness is, how we are raised in a manner contradictory to this, and how we change our mindset to make this a part of our daily living. This is the purpose of The Practicing Mind. They are ripe for a new path in life and eager for a new set of instructions. They are realizing that the endless struggle to fulfill the insatiable appetite of instant gratification is fruitless and tiresome at best. They are willing to expend the energy necessary to experience inner peace and a quiet mind that is waiting to follow the direction of their will. But individuals raised in Western culture are becoming increasingly more aware of their overall sense of mental exhaustion, their lack of discipline and their inability to focus on demand. Its internal dialogue is always firing off thoughts filled with emotional content and pulling the individual out of the present and into the past or future. The Western mind is always restless, never content with the moment. In the West, however, it is still a relatively unrecognized concept of living. ![]() It has been acknowledged for centuries as the cornerstone of spiritual awakening in all traditions of Eastern thought. Present moment awareness is an essential ingredient in life if one expects to experience any degree of authentic peace and contentment. ![]() ![]() ![]() My review of book 2 in The Red Queen’s War, The Liar’s Key canbe found here: The Liar’s Key.

Based on twelve years of research, she argues that vulnerability is not weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection. Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability. Whether the arena is a new relationship, an important meeting, our creative process, or a difficult family conversation, we must find the courage to walk into vulnerability and engage with our whole hearts. who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” -Theodore RooseveltĮvery day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable, or to dare greatly. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly. “It is not the critic who counts not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. Published SeptemAmazon | Bookshop | Goodreads About Daring Greatly ![]() ![]() You won't see this book on one of Oprah's Book Club selections, though considering this topic is often on her program, it should be. This story does any guy in Nic's position justice and kudos to Flinn in telling this from the male's POV as gracefully as she does for a change. ![]() How Nic handles his problems-or more accurately, how he was forced to handle his business-is a refreshing, touching, sometimes witty look inside the many hearts and souls of abused and abusing men. Thankfully, the author of this book doesn't turn the ending into a typical Brady Bunch one, nor does it hold an "Afterschool Special"-esque romp through a serious issue. Nic Andreas is a 16 year old in love with his first girlfriend-yet he can't show love to her not knowing he didn't learn it from his home life to begin with. ![]() Domestic abuse knows no boundaries, and the affluent have their share of said concerns as does anyone else. I initially picked up this book to see how its title compared with my soon-to-be-published MG read BREATHE, then understood it had nothing to do with that at all. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Part biography, part cultural history, Becoming the Ex-Wife establishes Parrott's rightful place in twentieth-century American culture, uncovering her neglected work and keen insights into American women's lives during a period of immense social change.Īlthough she was frequently dismissed as a "woman's writer," reading Parrott's writing today makes it clear that she was a trenchant philosopher of modernity-her work was prescient, anticipating issues not widely raised until decades after her decline into obscurity. Her best sellers, Hollywood film deals, marriages and divorces, and run-ins with the law made her a household name. The riveting biography of Ursula Parrott-best-selling author, Hollywood screenwriter, and voice for the modern woman.Ĭredited with popularizing the label "ex-wife" in 1929, Ursula Parrott wrote provocatively about divorcées, career women, single mothers, work-life balance, and a host of new challenges facing modern women. ![]() "Remind us of the brazenly talented women sidelined by convention."- New York Times "Makes an excellent case for Parrott as an unjustly forgotten historical figure."- The New Yorker ![]() ![]() ![]() Oddly, I couldn't help but see some of the same things in politics happening today that happened back then. ![]() Both sides were well balanced without the author taking a position. What I found most intriguing about this story was the run up to the civil war and how I was given a large dose of history I was unaware of through the eyes of the characters, families on both sides of the conflict. The cover at the time did not depict the seriousness of the book. I think the cover might have had something to do with it. I don't know how I missed this book back when it came out. The style is third person omniscient which usually I don't prefer, but Jakes pulled it off. The length of this book though was like reading three other books and put me farther behind on my TBR pile. ![]() It might be that historical novels have a broader canvas and leaves more room for the author to make his/her mark on memory. That's not to say I don't read extensively in mystery/thriller because I do. Historical novels seem to be my favorite all time reads even though I write thrillers. I really enjoyed this book and already purchased the other two in the trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() She would be delighted if you visited her at and fairly giddy if you liked her selfies on Instagram.
