Lost and Found: Seeking the Past and Finding Myself by Sam Thiara Pdf

A search for the past. An identity reclaimed. This moving memoir by speaker, educator, and entrepreneur Sam Thiara documents his seemingly impossible quest to find his grandfather's village--armed with little more than a faded photograph. Sam vividly recounts his adventure through India's crowded roads--a journey filled with mishaps and surprising encounters, and a growing sense of purpose. Drinking in the beauty of the Taj Mahal and the Golden Temple, he finds himself connecting more deeply with his Sikh faith, while confronting the ugliness of the country's poverty and injustice. Along the way, Sam also wrestles with his sense of self. A British-born Indian, living in Canada, whose parents came from Fiji, he questions: Am I Indian? Am I Canadian? Am I Sikh? Who am I? As he begins to piece together the puzzle of his history, Sam realizes he is piecing himself together, too. Touching and inspiring, Lost and Found is a book for anyone who has felt adrift in the world, confirming that what was once lost can be found.

I'm Off Then by Hape Kerkeling Pdf

I'm Off Then has sold more than three million copies in Germany and has been translated into eleven languages. The number of pilgrims along the Camino has increased by 20 percent since the book was published. Hape Kerkeling's spiritual journey has struck a chord. Overweight, overworked, and disenchanted, Kerkeling was an unlikely candidate to make the arduous pilgrimage across the Pyrenees to the Spanish shrine of St. James, a 1,200-year-old journey undertaken by nearly 100,000 people every year. But he decided to get off the couch and do it anyway. Lonely and searching for meaning along the way, he began the journal that turned into this utterly frank, engaging book. Filled with unforgettable characters, historic landscapes, and Kerkeling's self-deprecating humor, I'm Off Then is an inspiring travelogue, a publishing phenomenon, and a spiritual journey unlike any other.

Whispers by Lisa Angell,Nick Doms Pdf

March, 2000, the whole world watched the political tug-of-war between Fidel Castro and the exiled Cuban community over a little rafter, Elian Gonzalez, who was the sole survivor of the perilous journey across the Florida Straits. The controversies surrounding the arrival of this little boy swept over Miami. In the midst of this highly charged political climate, people were falling in love, drug deals were going bad, and the Cuban elderly were dying, surrendering their dreams of returning to a Castro free Cuba. Crossing Into the Land of Saints is a wonderful and realistic portrayal of a Cuban family, the Santeria religion, and the political and cultural differences within the exiled Cuban community. Meet the three generations of the Lopez-Zayas family as they struggle with the dying wish of the family's matriarch, Cheita, to be laid to rest in her homeland. Cristobal, her brother, has agreed to honor Cheita's dying wish, sending the family into a stormy adventure. Roli is a young, humorous, Cuban American man who grew up in Boston, and finds himself seduced by a voluptuous and sensual Cuban waitress. Alina, Roli's sister, becomes Cristobal's partner, along with Roli, to bury Cheita in Cuba. In order to realize Cheita's wish, the family must overcome their differences, the political tensions of that time, the stormy waters of the Florida Straits, and the dangerous Cuban military, which during the Elian Gonzalez controversy was on the hyper-alert against "unwanted" American influences. Their journey back to Cuba, the land of saints, transforms this family in ways they could not foresee. Crossing Into the Land of Saints promises to take you along this journey, and transform you as well.

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch Pdf

After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, a professor shares the lessons he's learned—about living in the present, building a legacy, and taking full advantage of the time you have—in this life-changing classic. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." —Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull over the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"—wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have . . . and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Lost Among the Birds by Neil Hayward Pdf

Early in 2013 Neil Hayward was at a crossroads. He didn't want to open a bakery or whatever else executives do when they quit a lucrative but unfulfilling job. He didn't want to think about his failed relationship with “the one” or his potential for ruining a new relationship with “the next one.” And he almost certainly didn't want to think about turning forty. And so instead he went birding. Birding was a lifelong passion. It was only among the birds that Neil found a calm that had eluded him in the confusing world of humans. But this time he also found competition. His growing list of species reluctantly catapulted him into a Big Year--a race to find the most birds in one year. His peregrinations across twenty-eight states and six provinces in search of exotic species took him to a hoarfrost-covered forest in Massachusetts to find a Fieldfare; to Lake Havasu, Arizona, to see a rare Nutting's Flycatcher; and to Vancouver for the Red-flanked Bluetail. Neil's Big Year was as unplanned as it was accidental: It was the perfect distraction to life. Neil shocked the birding world by finding 749 species of bird and breaking the long-standing Big Year record. He also surprised himself: During his time among the hummingbirds, tanagers, and boobies, he found a renewed sense of confidence and hope about the world and his place in it.
