Luminous Fairytales for our Little Darlings by LUCIE TICHÁ Pdf

This story book, full of positive energy, is written not only for our little loved ones, but for our big loved ones as well - the mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, and everyone else. It has the luminous task of bringing LOVE into everyone's heart - enlightening, opening and thus creating order in our hearts, leaving only the most important thing - LOVE. This is the greatest force, capable of interconnecting all people, animals and nature. From all my heart, I hope my book shows you that love is everywhere, even where we least expect it. A life full of love is joyful and vibrant. Where love is missing, it is sad and gloomy. Our ideas affect our actions either positively or negatively. They are either good when they come from the heart, or bad when our hearts are empty or closed. Fairytales should teach and show us that each of us is a unique magical being who through magical words or helpful deeds can change not only our own life, but also the life of those around us. We can make others happy. We have been given great power and it is up to us to use it well. Some fairytales show us that everyone is different, but at the same time that we have our many similarities. They also show that mutual help is stronger than one-sided aid. The magic words "thank you" and "please" can fulfill your wishes and make your dreams come true. Using colors, other fairytales heal and harmonize, teaching us that illness can also be cured by using bright white light. Some of the stories show us how we can change the atmosphere and energy levels, either by tidying up or simply smiling cheerfully. Read these energy-filled tales to your darlings at bedtime, because their effect before and during sleep are the strongest. The stories influence dreams which affect the children all through the night. This method of passing luminous information to the child's world through fairytales is most beautiful. It will act as luminous medicine and fuel their pristine souls. Our little darlings will feel harmonized and happy, which is the most important thing we can want for them.

In Search of Naunny's Grave by Nick Trujillo Pdf

Elsie Martinez Trujillo Alcaraz, 'Naunny' to her grandson and communication scholar Nick Trujillo, was a working class woman, daughter of New Mexico Hispanos, and eventually the resident of a Los Angeles nursing home. She becomes the focal point for Trujillo's experimental ethnography of family relations, aging, and ethnic identity throughout the twentieth century. Collecting narratives of his grandmother's life, Trujillo learns how family members use stories to define the family's sense of itself and create collective views on intergenerational relations, social history, gender, class, and ethnicity. Through these stories, family photos, and his own recollections, supplemented with Elsie's letters and journal entries, the author is able to explore topics often ignored in life histories of the elderly—sexuality, body image, eating disorders, marital discord, mobility patterns, racial prejudice, and interactions with the health care system. Trujillo's presentation brings Naunny's humor, liveliness, and generosity alive for scholars and students alike and provides a vivid portrait of being Hispanic and female in the 20th century American west.

Grandmothers by Geoff Dench Pdf

The traditional role of the grandmother in contemporary Western society is changing. Driven in part by the increasing participation of women in the workplace, as well as declines in family stability, grandparents are taking on new responsibilities as family caretakers. This is of special interest in modern Britain. Grandmothers is a collection of essays reflecting on the experience of being a grandmother in modern Britain (plus, in one case, France). It follows a study of grandparenting-the first national study on the subject in the UK-carried out by the editor as part of the British Social Attitudes Survey. Over the past few years there has been a surge of interest in Britain on grandparenting-although it is still a long way behind the United States and several European countries in research. The driving impetus for research is coming from parenting organizations and government departments concerned about the effects on female employment of shortages in nursery places, and about the effect of "parenting deficits" on children. Greater involvement of grandmothers in caring for children has seemed to offer a solution to many related problems. It promises to improve care within the family, and enable mothers to take on paid work with fewer fears for the consequences, without removing other working adults in the family from their jobs. The original study found that the great majority of British adults thought that providing childcare support was an important part of the grandparent role. At the same time, it revealed that grandmothers' involvement was very diverse, and that many grandmothers who would like to be more active in caring for their grandchildren were excluded as a consequence of family breakdown. While comprehensive, inevitably the survey could not deal with questions about change over the last few generations. The personal case-studies in this volume fill that gap. The generation now moving into grandparenthood was active in restructuring personal relationships when younger. Several of the contributors to the book were prominent members of the women's movement in the late sixties and seventies. Inevitably there are more novelists, academics, and activists than is representative of the general population. But the volume manages to collect together a very wide range of lifestyles and views. Collectively, they show how far the revolution of their youth into senior family roles, and how their new roles may be encouraging them to question and revise their former attitudes. Geoff Dench is a senior research fellow at the Institute of Community Studies and professor of sociology at Middlesex University. He is the author of Transforming Men and Rewriting the Sexual Contract, both published by Transaction.
