Our Time to Dance, A Mother's Journey to Joy by Eva Doherty Gremmert Pdf

Eva Doherty Gremmert has written a loving, poignant book about the deep joys and profound challenges of raising a son with complex physical and mental disabilities. She recounts with great suspense her struggles with skeptical doctors, stubborn educators and her own raw emotions as she strives to give her son the chance to live his best possible life. Our Time To Dance is a gentle, readable and inspiring story of faith, perseverance and fierce love." Debby Applegate, author of The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher, 2007 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Biography "If you've ever wondered if you can get through the insane challenges of life and not just survive - but thrive! - you'll find the answer as you read this amazing story written by Eva Doherty Gremmert. Our Time To Dance will awaken a discovery of your own amazing power to rise above life's crushing unexpected difficulties, and even find joy in them. This story reframed my own adversities in new ways and gave me strength to be different in the midst of them. You don't want to miss the uplift you'll find in this remarkable tale of hope and overcoming!" DeAnna Murphy, CEO of People Acuity, Author, Keynote Speaker, Top 100 Global Coaching Leader "Eva Doherty Gremmert's emotional and poignant story about her son's journey with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) was written from her heart and soul. Caring for a loved one with LGS, and recalling the countless seizures and hospital visits, is not an easy thing to do. But Eva's passion for her son is apparent through her writing. This book, Our Time To Dance, is highly recommended for any parent or caregiver who feels alone in their LGS journey." Christina SanInocencio, Executive Director LGS Foundation (Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome) "A triumphant memoir! With unflinching candor and poignant acumen Gremmert potently captures and conveys the joy and sorrow of mothering a child with a disability. The achievement of the memoir is its refusal to sentimentalize the mother's very real struggles in raising her son, while simultaneously challenging normative assumptions that position disability as a burden. Our Time to Dance is not only a journey to joy but a maternal rendering of the hero's quest. A book for all mothers to read and rejoice in!" Dr. Andrea O'Reilly, publisher of Demeter Press and author of Matricentric Feminism: Theory, Activism, and Practice

After decades of therapy and study of Jewish mysticism, she finally cast off the heavy cloak of shameful misconceptions, and relaxed into ordinary life.

A Journey to Joy by Joy Buerkle Pdf

As a young girl, author Joy Buerkle didn’t have a magical upbringing or a lot of happy childhood memories. She didn’t fully know God or God’s character and was often confused, angry, or upset with God. At age twenty-eight, she experienced the deep grief of losing a loved one, and then she suffered pregnancy losses in her thirties. Through these tribulations, Joy grew spiritually and now has a loving relationship with our heavenly Father. In A Journey to Joy, she shares her journey to finding joy and relays her testimony of God’s goodness, grace, and love for mankind. Joy encourages you to see divine intervention through any heartache or tribulations you may be enduring. She prays the Lord provides you with peace, comfort, and strength and surrounds you with an endless amount of love.

Finding Joy by Judy Snoddon Pdf

Judy lived an idyllic life in Canada's picturesque Muskoka cottage country. She had a loving relationship, a good job and was the proud mother of two boys. Mark was the joyful troublemaker, a rough-and-tumble free spirit who would give anyone the shirt off his back. Jason was the quiet, sensitive one, a superb musician with a bright future. Then the unthinkable happened: a suicide, then cancer. In middle-age, Judy found herself childless, filled with emptiness, and rudderless. She kept asking herself: What happens when a mother stops being a mother? Judy gained strength from her love of family, friends and work. She turned to nature for her inspiration. Mysteries like the little buck that arrived shortly after Mark's death, helped her appreciate the wonders of life. Caring for the tender plants in her Memory Garden gave her purpose, taught her lessons and helped her move forward on the "roller coaster" of events that unfolded. This inspiring story follows Judy's journey from the depth of despair to enlightenment, from the brink of divorce to strength and hope. Judy Snoddon shows us how to find joy -one plant at a time.

Joy out of Sorrow by Tracy Dunn Lyons Pdf

As a terrifed teenage girl with an unplanned pregnancy, Tracy Dunn Lyons read through every book on adoption she could find. While she found lots of them, none told her the information she wanted to know: · What’s it really like to place a baby for adoption? · Would the pain associated with placing a baby for adoption ever end? · Was it really the right choice—and would it be worth it? In this book, she reveals how she ended up with an unplanned pregnancy in the first place, and the emotional roller coaster she went on in deciding whether to keep her baby or place him for adoption. Abortion, she shares, was never an option—and she was shocked at how quickly some suggested it. As a devoted Catholic, she knew the value of a life. To this day, she recalls a bumper sticker her grandmother had on her car with a powerful message: “It’s a child, not a choice.” After placing her son for adoption, she remained involved in his life, but she eventually took a step back. Years later, they rediscovered their bond—one that remains strong today.

The Dance of Illusion by Evelyn Pretkus Pdf

The Dance of Illusion story covers the topics of courage, change and the power of choice in a way that has never been done before. Imagine the possibility we are all impaired at birth with the blessing of forgetfulness to the universal truth that separation is The Dance of Illusion and where there is love, Divine Love, there is no separation. This story calls humanity forward to awaken from an unidentified silent epidemic of an addiction to suffering caused by an underlying, unrecognized belief system rooted in separation. What is required as the entrance ticket to new beginnings in life? It is for the reader to answer an invitation to love, Divine Love that stands the test of time, with a resounding YES. Ultimately, The Dance of Illusion proposes a new way of living in the 21st century and beyond; to learn and live in joy, with suffering a distant memory of the past. This is a story laced empowerment, hope and new beginnings. This is one woman’s true story about awakening to something more in life and how to navigate through many sunrise and sunsets to find true love, Divine love that is found on a journey within. The basic universal truth offered for consideration throughout the story is that we are human beings having a spiritual experience. What is important along the way is to discover the building blocks of truth both personal and universal to rise out of tragedy to experience triumph. What is triumph you might ask? From the author’s point of view, it is the joy of living in freedom without suffering with great passion while consciously creating life with Divine Love as the foundation of faith upon which we stand. Every element of the story showcases an innovative, breakthrough process on how to thrive through difficult times of chaos and change, and how to quiet the passions of the mind in ways that are previously unimaginable and unavailable to millions of people today. The reader is encouraged to ask and seek the answer to a tough question, “How do we create peace in the world when so many millions of us are at war, an invisible war, an attack unrecognized within our own being, perhaps even sleepwalking through life?” The described paradigm creates the set up for denying the time to question the true meaning of life on earth beyond the obvious. In midlife, the author asked herself the question, “Who am I at the core of my being?” The answers sought were beyond the field of right and wrongdoing, beyond make a living and beyond material possessions. While this sounds serious and it is, there are many stories shared that will leave the reader laughing and asking for more. Time may just be the new currency of wealth in the 21st century. It is the author’s perspective; it is what we consciously choose to do with time, that is up for investigation throughout this story. In midlife, the author found herself in emotional and financial crisis which, unexpectedly led to a spiritual emergency. After experiencing great loss, she found herself experiencing deep depression, anxiety and nagging, never ending suicidal thoughts. Having been raised Catholic, she found herself feeling separate from God, family and everyone she loved. This is a story that has never been told before about suicide from a spiritual perspective. This is a must read for those who suffer from depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies, those who love them and professionals who help them.

The Oxford Handbook of Jewishness and Dance by Naomi M. Jackson,Rebecca Pappas,Toni Shapiro-Phim Pdf

Responding to recent evolutions in the fields of dance and religious and secular studies, The Oxford Handbook of Jewishness and Dance documents and celebrates the significant impact of Jewish identity on a variety of communities and the dance world writ large. Focusing on North America, Europe, and Israel in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this Handbook highlights the sometimes surprising, often hidden and overlooked Jewish resonances within a range of styles from modern and postmodern dance to folk dance and flamenco. Privileging the historically marginalized voices of scholars, performers, and instructors the Handbook considers the powerful role of dance in addressing difference, such as between American and Israeli Jewish communities. In the process, contributors advocate values of social justice, like Tikkun Olam (repair of the world), debate, and humor, exploring the fascinating and potentially uncomfortable contradictions and ambiguities that characterize this robust area of research.
