These are the poignant recollections of one man about his childhood and coming of age in a developing First Nation community struggling valiantly to preserve its identity in twentieth-century Canada-an era of discrimination, stereotyping, and governmental persecution. With poems, stories, and memories, Many Moons Ago entertains while bringing understanding to a new generation of his Native and non-Native readers. Many Moons Ago is a powerful and vivid exploration of author Fred McCue's life story, set against a backdrop of fables, ancestral legends, and historical perspective of the Curve Lake, First Nation reservation in Ontario, Canada. The stories, poems, and memoirs capture the culture, the language, and the teachings of Mother Earth and her eternal spiritual qualities of a time gone by. They reflect the hardships that McCue and his community endured through poverty, social globalization, and the loss of their right to survive off the land. Told with courage, humour, compassion, and ancestral pride, these stories resonate off the pages and into one's own value of the importance of belonging. Many Moons Ago pays tribute to humanity and fortitude and celebrates McCue's people, his way of life, and his memories.
I have witnessed the trial and tribulations that special needs Christian parents go thru on a daily basis. Their struggles are real and many, triumphs are few, but their unwavering love is truly commendable. This book tries to convey, in some poems, a perceived view from the inside of a special need child's mind toward their parents or through an interaction with another person. The book is broken into four distinct categories as follows: Special Needs""meant to convey pro life and challenges faced head on by caring parents, Kids stories""stories with kids in mind with a Christian moral as the ending, Patriotic""two patriotic poems from a want to be soldier to a twenty plus years military retired soldier, and Christian life""comprised of some of my own personal events, other Christian love poems or stories. The book was written and submitted for publishing to convey message that we, as true Christians, must be more sympathetic to those less fortunate than us. To encourage, embrace, and help those that need our support whether it be a special needs child, parent, or caretaker of a special needs child or sick person and especially a sick child in a children's hospital.
Poetry was just a strange characteristic I developed over time. My inspiration came from a host of poets, Iyania Vanzant, Nikki Giovanni, Maya Angelou, just to name a few. Being conscious of your work, and perhaps you really dont feel that it will be amusing to the next person neither. I actually sat down and took the time to exercise this art long since loving and being excited by other poets. Without a doubt Im hoping this simple collection of poems turns out to be someones favorite, although Im just a beginner. Ideally I often tend to take ramble threw time an memories just to see what kind of a view it might bring. On the contrary Simply Poetry will be my second initial book of Poetry and hopefully the outcome will be outstanding. Made to be a firm believer by none other than the best, Xlibris Publishing Co. Itself time will truly tell if this collection of poems will be substantial, in that not on behalf of Xlibris and myself I bring to you Simply Poetry. It once was stated a lil while back by someone close to me that one day when I suffer more I really didnt understand what that meant but now I know. Sometimes advice could be a key element to the development of your talent with the right coaching that talent is brought to the desire of the one who possesses it. So if you would please enjoy this selection its (Simply Poetry).

Rock Art and Memory in the Transmission of Cultural Knowledge by Leslie F. Zubieta Pdf
This book shares timely and thought-provoking methodological and theoretical approaches from perspectives concerning landscape, gender, cognition, neural networks, material culture and ontology in order to comprehend rock art’s role in memorisation processes, collective memory, and the intergenerational circulation of knowledge. The case studies offered here stem from human experiences from around the globe—Africa, Australia, Europe, North and South America—, which reflects the authors’ diverse interpretative stances. While some of the approaches deal with mnemonics, new digital technologies and statistical analysis, others examine performances, sensory engagement, language, and political disputes, giving the reader a comprehensive view of the myriad connections between memory studies and rock art. Indigenous interlocutors participate as collaborators and authors, creating space for Indigenous narratives of memory. These narratives merge with Western versions of past and recent memories in order to construct jointly novel inter-epistemic understandings of images made on rock. Each chapter demonstrates the commitment of rock art studies to strengthen and enrich the field by exploring how communities and cultures across time have perceived and entangled rock images with a broad range of material culture, nonhumans, people, emotions, performances, sounds and narratives. Such relations are pivotal to understanding the universe behind the intersections of memory and rock art and to generating future interdisciplinary collaborative studies.
mihko kiskisiwin - Blood Memory by Indigenous Poets Society Pdf
Thomas King said, “The truth about stories is . . . stories are all that we are.” Colonization has tried to erase and eradicate Indigenous narratives for centuries. Even mainstream literature features the same kinds of stories told by the same voices. It fails to recognize the diversity of voices across Turtle Island. Stories exist and persist in diverse and divergent forms. mihko kiskisiwin is a collection of Indigenous North American voices, from incarcerated and diversified Indigenous community members, elders, and youth to people with dis/abilities and 2SLGBTTQQIA+ people. This anthology by the Indigenous Poets Society (Saskatchewan–Ontario) showcases spoken and written poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction from emerging and established artists, writers, and performers. Testimony is at the heart of this collection. With vulnerability and urgency, these writers illuminate the complexities of trauma, identity, and healing. By empowering diverse and divergent Indigenous voices, intersectional awareness and diversity flourish. We see how one story can’t possibly encapsulate the breadth of Indigenous North American cultures and experiences. In Cree, “mihko kiskisiwin” means “blood memory.” It’s the idea that our ancestral knowledge is in our blood’s memory, and calls for right relationship - cultural restoration and resilience, inter-related respectfulness, and interconnected reciprocity. This anthology is our stories in our own words - as a revolutionary act of remembering, reclamation & resurgence for future generations to come.

16 INSPIRATIONAL fitnesss recollections by Rahul Mookerjee Pdf
If there ever was a product I enjoyed creating - - it is this! This morning, as I chatted with a lady from Shanghai (a high powered lawyer of all things, hehe) my brain - and MEMORY - went into overdrive. We were talking about life - and workouts - and bodyweight exercise - and the conversation soon got around to LIFE - again. "I wake up at 6 A.M.", she stated. "I get so much more done!" And in true form, she sent me a picture of her day - neatly planned out - almost as if it was on an Excel spreadsheet, planned out right down to the last minute - - and coming from a lawyer, that doesn't sound out of place either! Now, I'm NOT much of a one for early mornings, although I HAVE been in the past - most commonly when I was climbing the hill at the wee hours of the morning. Let me tell you, slogging up that hill was NO joke at 530 AM in the morning - especially during COLD and DESERTED winters - so deserted and DARK that it would be me and my trust phone torch - - and perhaps an oldie or two "Angel of the City" blaring out to keep me company for a while, hehe. I got some of the best workouts in - of my LIFE at that time - and I still remember EACH and every one of those numerous workouts, strange as it might sound! And I still remember EACH and every one of my workouts when I was in college - and the FEELING behind them. I still remember climbing up a hill in POURING weather that most wouldn't even consider going out in. I still remember ... ah, but this is the entire point of me writing THIS - and telling you THIS!! Just writing these tales - and recollections - got me so fired up that I literally pounded out a 100 pushups right there in my study -right after writing about a 15000 words or so (give or take) - and if this inspires me - a VETERAN when it comes to fitness and working out - I can just imagine what it will do to you, my friend. If you've got a pulse - just reading all this will inspire you like nothing else! If you're overweight - just READING about how I went out there and did it - - day by day - - rain, sun or shine - or hail, on occasion, hehe - - will give you JUST the boost you need! As my friend Marc once sagely said "I think you're great at motivating people". And I am - - and I enjoy doing it - - which is of course the reason I write my daily emails and newsletters - and do everything else I do on a daily basis. When I put FEELING (and indeed, when YOU put feeling) into my words and actions is when I perform best - and so will YOU, my friend. So will YOU - as you literally FEEL the emotion pouring off my words. As you're literally "there" with me, for instance, as I climb up the hill LATE at night - - or perhaps meet the old man in China I've met in the late afternoons! You'll feel me "breathing fire" - - so much so that YOU might well feel it too!! You'll BE THERE with me as I psyched up for that final climb. You'll be there with me, all those years ago, as yours truly went for a swim with his grandfather - at 430 AM in the morning, no less. Did any of that inspire you? I bet it did - and while all of this probably paved the way for my own fitness routines and indeed, LOVE for exercise ... it will for you too when you read it! 15 POWER PACKED and INSPIRATIONAL writings - for YOURS - to GRAB - right now, my friend. Don't hesitate a minute longer - dive in NOW, and be swept into my WORLD!
Amy’s transformational memoir explores the journey from despair to repair and serves an invitation to us all to understand the distinctions of an extraordinary life through the lens of resilience, compassion, and service. What was it like living in a culture devoid of rites of passage other than binge and puke and spread your legs? Naturally, my heart hurt, my soul ached, and my spirit floated lost. From this place of intensity, I developed incredible resilience. This is what happened: settling into sobriety, grounding into gratitude, and cultivating a compassionate heart, my mind cleared, my heart opened, my spirit reactivated, and my energy expanded. This is what it’s like now: breathing aloha into every moment, recognizing our interdependence, and claiming responsibility as a source for transformation, naturally, my grateful heart has more blessings than I can say grace over. “Equal parts lyrical, confessional, and practical, Amy Elizabeth vulnerably uses her own journey through addiction and trauma to inspire readers to move beyond limiting beliefs and heal from the past” (Alicia Munoz, author of No More Fighting: 20 Minutes a Week to a Stronger Relationship) “Moonshot is an elegant and visceral memoir that dares one to question one’s own resilience and courage. Indeed, Amy Elizabeth is as transparent as she appears in these pages. Love the interactive curriculum and its usefulness” (Kekuhi Keali’ikanaka’oleohaililani, trainer, Halau ‘Ohi’a). “This work is the bridge between despair and repair. It is an invitation for women to tenderize our own hearts and to craft a new heart-centric story, the true story of who we are at our core” (Kristen Noel, editor-in-chief, Best Self Magazine). “Nature did not design us to be alone. Evidence shows that people who enjoy close, fulfilling relationships with others are happier, healthier, and more creative. If this does not prompt you to the wonderful Moonshot, please reconsider. Highly recommended!” (Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters). “What an enchanting, captivating, beautiful, practical book! Based in personal experience and penetrating prose, Moonshot is meant for anyone who needs more love, empathy, and compassion in their life—and who doesn’t? Let Amy be your guide to a richer, deeper commitment—not just to others but to the world” (Barbara Montgomery Dossey, RN, PhD, FAAN, author of Florence Nightingale: Mystic, Visionary, Healer and Holistic Nursing: A Handbook for Practice).
Scottish broadcaster and author Sally Magnusson's bestselling memoir of caring (with her two sisters) for their mother Mamie during many years of living with dementia. Sad and funny, wise and honest, this deeply intimate account of insidious losses and unexpected joys is also a call to arms that challenges us all to think differently about how we cope with a disease like dementia and care for our loved ones. This book began as an attempt to hold on to my witty, storytelling mother with the one thing I had to hand. Words. Then, as the enormity of the social crisis my family was part of began to dawn, I wrote with the thought that other forgotten lives might be nudged into the light along with hers. Dementia is one of the greatest social, medical, economic, scientific, philosophical and moral challenges of our times. I am a reporter. It became the biggest story of my life. - Sally Magnusson Regarded as one of the finest journalists of her generation, Mamie Baird Magnusson's whole life was a celebration of words - words that she fought to retain in the grip of a disease which is fast becoming the scourge of the 21st century. Married to writer and broadcaster Magnus Magnusson, they had five children of whom Sally is the eldest. As well as chronicling the anguish, the frustrations and the unexpected laughs and joys that she and her sisters experienced while accompanying their beloved mother on the long dementia road for eight years until her death in 2012, Sally Magnusson seeks understanding from a range of experts and asks penetrating questions about how we treat older people, how we can face one of the greatest social, medical, economic and moral challenges of our times, and what it means to be human. An extraordinary and deeply personal memoir, a manifesto and a call to arms, in one searingly beautiful narrative. Facebook.com/WhereMemoriesGo
