With My Face to the Wind by Linda Anne King Pdf

Like cancer untreated, PTSD can kill—if not the body— the mind and soul. Linda King has portrayed, in real-time, what it is like to live with full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder. With My Face to the Wind is not only for those who have PTSD, or those who support friends and family with PTSD, but it is also for professionals who want a window into the mind and heart of someone struggling to overcome PTSD. With this 2021 revision, Linda hopes that readers who have lived with the symptoms of this disorder (which often goes undiagnosed) will learn coping skills, along with hope and faith to continue on their journey. Linda King’s “With My Face to the Wind” is an inspiring read like no other. Her story is one of the tragedies and triumphs, with tears and laughter guiding the way. Mrs. King knows how to tell her tales and pushes her readers to better themselves—by accepting themselves. I suggest this book to anyone—PTSD suffers, mis-understood teenagers, and those who are perfectly fine. This book will lead you to your best self. -Anna Katherine Beerman While sharing some of her personal tragedies, Linda King weaves just enough verifiable psychological content (without causing brain freeze) to know that she's done her homework. Her wit and humor shine through just in the nick of time. . . -Rhonda B. Holmes, Author, The WORD Diet What you have written is too powerful to be read in one or two settings. As a registered nurse I’ve been accustomed to reading professional abstracts and journals quickly and incorporating new learning into my nursing practice. It was the unanticipated emotional impact that caused me to read it in small “doses” spread over a couple of months. . . . and your format of introducing that information throughout the book as it coincided with stages in your own emotional journey, will make it much easier for individuals affected by PTSD to understand and apply it to their own circumstances. -Elen Wright, R.N

Face the Wind by Nedler Palaz Pdf

‘Face the Wind’ is a term used by Native American men to demonstrate their prowess in battle, at winning against odds, and succeeding in their endeavor. The term carries succinct relevance to the Smith twins and their resolute spirits. In this Tenth historical fiction novel of The Checker Board Series, in 1898, Dave Smith moves his family into Sheridan, Wyoming in order to take over the district court judgeship. It requires a period of adjustment, particularly as his old partner, Jim Bowen shows up to open new objectives in quelling the criminal element that inhabits a large part of the very district in which Dave Smith is a judge. Old law business resurfaces in which specific objectives are set as well as locating more information in order to capture wrongdoers. Even Butch Cassidy, notorious outlaw, confounds Dave to the point Wyoming’s Governor threatens to remove Dave from his judge’s position. This novel is historical as it describes the early build-out of Sheridan, including the railroads, coal mining, and the early stages of the local water treatment plant. Even a remote dinosaur dig creates a momentous find while at the same time evades an outlaw gang on their own home turf of the Hole in the Wall hideout. This book is a ‘Coming of Age' story that includes the separate lives of the Smith twin’s, Seth and Seamus, and how their courses diverge, each with his own approach to life. Seamus endeavors to learn about water control while working as an apprentice for the Sheridan water works engineer. His studies include engineering school in Boston. Seth attempts to shine at polo only to learn how disastrous is the sport. After a catastrophic riding accident, Seth meets Willow, a lovely Cheyenne girl trained as an herbalist and horse healer. Willow captures Seth’s heart and must state her intents to Dave Smith in order to be accepted. Remaining on the ranch, Seth and Willow learn more about horse breeding and training. Cheyenne Indian Sam Eagle Feather, Dave’s old partner, maintains a delicate tightrope strung between being free or relegated to the reservation. Sam confronts rustlers who attack his small ranch which start a cascade of adversity for all concerned.

Fly Into the Wind by Lt Colonel Dan Rooney Pdf

USA TODAY BESTSELLER “Lt Colonel Dan Rooney is a true patriot who serves our country with courage and honor.”—George H.W. Bush, 41st President of the United States F-16 fighter pilot, American hero, Folds of Honor founder, PGA professional, and inspirational family man Dan Rooney delivers a motivational code for living to help ordinary people ascend to their highest level in life. Part spiritual guide and part call-to-action, Fly Into the Wind combines Lt Colonel Rooney’s fighter pilot stories with his discovery of faith and purpose in order to help each reader achieve a philosophy he calls CAVU, after the Air Force acronym that stands for “ceiling and visibility unrestricted.” CAVU describes the perfect conditions for flying a fighter jet, when steel-blue skies invite pilots to spread their wings like supersonic eagles. In today’s world of identity politics, fractured racial relations, and external turmoil, Rooney’s book will show how all of us are connected by God in more ways than we realize, and that the path to fulfillment begins with changing ourselves in order to better one another. From the outside, Lieutenant Colonel Dan “Noonan” Rooney was living the American Dream: he was an F-16 fighter pilot, PGA Professional, husband to his college sweetheart, and father of five daughters. His position in life should have been a blessing. But a near-tragic mishap while piloting his F-16 triggered an ominous life storm that altered his trajectory and filled him with self-doubt. Realizing that a jet takes off into the wind because it requires resistance over its wings to fly, Lt Colonel Rooney’s attitude toward the resistance he encountered in his life changed from resentment to humble introspection. Hyper-focused on the precise areas that are immediately under your control, CAVU is a disciplined approach to each day that will help you reshape, motivate, prioritize, and ultimately thrive. In Fly Into the Wind, Lt. Colonel Rooney breaks down CAVU into ten unique lines of effort (LOE), with each LOE building upon the previous one to provide a positive vector toward a new way of living. Along this enlightened path, readers will discover a renewed belief in themselves and the art of the possible. The time for self-discovery and ultimate achievement begins now.

Shackleton's Dream by Stephen Haddelsey Pdf

In November 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton watched horrified as the grinding ice floes of the Weddell Sea squeezed the life from his ship, Endurance . Caught in the chaos of splintered wood, buckled metalwork and tangled rigging lay Shackleton's dream of being the first man to complete the crossing of Antarctica. Shackleton would not live to make a second attempt – but his dream endured. Shackleton's Dream tells for the first time the story of the British Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, led by Vivian Fuchs and Sir Edmund Hillary. Forty years after the loss of Endurance, they set out to succeed where Shackleton had so heroically failed. Using tracked vehicles and converted farm tractors in place of Shackleton's man-hauled sledges, they faced a colossal challenge: a perilous 2,000-mile journey across the most demanding landscape on the planet. This epic adventure saw two giants of twentieth-century exploration pitted not only against Nature at her most hostile, but also against each other. Planned as a historic (and scientific) continental crossing, the expedition would eventually develop into a dramatic 'Race to the South Pole' – a contest as controversial as that of Scott and Amundsen more than four decades earlier.
