Chad, a Celebration of Life ~ Beyond a Mother's Memories by Arista Pdf

“...Literally took my breath away... Beautifully written and descriptive, I was right there on Chad’s journey. An American Memoir of life that reminds you what’s important, the human heart being one of them. A 5-star read I highly recommend.” -Matt D., New York, New York “From NY to Malibu, heart screenings to homeless soccer tourneys in Austria, the purpose emerges loud and clear - to save the Lives of those who still have a chance at a future. It is crucial to raise awareness for mandatory heart screenings for young athletes! Many testimonials of families affected by sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) won't leave you indifferent. This book is truly a work of Love, filled with tears and laughter, pain and loss, and most of all hope!” -Olena, Los Angeles, California Chad Alan Butrum loved sports. One day he went out to play football in LA and it would be his last game; he died of Sudden Cardiac Death in Young Athletes. He was just 26 years old. His artist mother Arista takes us on a journey of Love, Life and Laughter, as the young family forges new dreams in Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Malibu, and New York City. After Chad’s sudden loss to SCD, she discovers through his colleagues at Carolco Pictures the young man Chad was becoming - the promise of a talented creative writer who touched the lives of many people in his short Life. He loved all people- any age, heritage, or orientation. In Part II, the author transcends loss into a quest to save lives by founding the non-profit organization, The Chad Foundation for Athletes and Artists, to safeguard young hearts so they can live long, healthy Lives and reach their most cherished dreams. It also inspires youth to live as Chad did- anti-substance abuse and alcohol-free, Healthy Body/Mind/ Spirit. The Chad Foundation Cardiovascular Screening Program has provided 8,000 Echocardiograms/ECGS in 5 states and, globally, in Austria and Sweden. Many parents who have also lost children to SCD, share their heartfelt stories within underscoring the critical importance of raising awareness of Sudden Cardiac Death in the Young, implementing preventive heart screenings, knowledge of CPR, and placement of AEDs. It is a journey of the Heart and the discovery that The Heart is the Home of our two greatest gifts—Love and Life—and must be safeguarded as our most valued possession.

‘Til Times Get Better by Elle Louise,Arista Pdf

Heart wrenching book with triumph over tragedy. Elle found the inner strength and courage to move beyond the devastation that surrounded her. A soul touching read...definitely a 5. -America K. West Palm Beach, FL This book left my heart hurting for Elle and children like her. The family members each hid their own lies and shame... It inspired me to know these same children can become the strength of the world. What we (I) do matters! ... - Jean B. Round Lake, IL From her earliest childhood memories until the age of 17, Elle fought a battle that didn't belong to her but to adults. At 4, she was removed from her parents due to physical abuse...and that was just the beginning. Elle quickly learned how to survive each situation she was given: adoption, foster care, abandonment, sexual, physical, emotional abuse, secrets, and later the search and rejection by her biological father. She was always able to hide under a smile of masks at school. But everything changed the night her father put a gun to her head. That was the defining moment. Elle realized if she didn't take things into her own hands and escape the abuse, she would probably end up dead. This memoir is the true story of Elle’s journey to save her own life and begin a new one. It is an inspiring voyage of relentless courage, self-reliance, and most of all forgiveness. Through her darkest challenges she never lost hope. She found that love and life can still exist if you never give up and remain steadfast in your personal quest for healing. Elle fought being a victim and became a “Survivor.”

Poetic Reflections by Francis B. Mooneyhan Jr Pdf

Prior to his departure to serve as a Family History missionary in Salt Lake City, Frank wrote a poem about both the wonderment of his "call" and of what lay in wait for him. His concerns about his age and poor health were soon dismissed upon his arrival in the mission field when Frank noticed that there were many who suffered far more than he, thus inspiring a poem about the willingness of others to serve God despite major obstacles in their lives. He recited this poem as part of his three minute introduction and arrival speech to his missionary group, many of whom requested a copy. Working in the Genealogy Library, Frank helped in the restoration of books and assisted his wife as lab photographer. He continued to write poems as missionaries entered and departed the mission and was quickly dubbed the "lab poet." Instead of writing a traditional daily journal, his wife suggested that he write his feelings and thoughts through poetry. This challenge helped Frank occupy his mind in a positive direction while struggling with daily health trials and his poetry journal evolved into this book, a compilation of heartfelt, inspired and jovial poems.

Reframing Difference by Carrie Tarr Pdf

This is the first major study of two overlapping strands of contemporary French cinema, "cinéma beur" (films by young directors of Maghrebi immigrant origin) and "cinéma de banlieue" (films set in France's disadvantaged outer-city estates). Carrie Tarr's insightful account draws on a wide range of films, from directors such as Mehdi Charef, Mathieu Kassowitz and Djamel Bensalah. Foregrounding such issues as the quest for identity, the negotiation of space and the recourse to memory and history, she argues that these films challenge and reframe the symbolic spaces of French culture, addressing issues of ethnicity and difference which are central to today's debates about what it means to be French.
