Quiet Passions by Thomas Lee Rhymes Pdf

So many self-published books of poetry have undertones - about Life, self-realization and religion. All of which are essential in their own right. But this book is about passion, lust and that other elusive entity - Love. For without passion and lust, Love is not a 'Many-Splendored Thing' - it is simply a word. To think of it in terms we can all understand: Passion is the damnedest, most wonderful flavor that never hit Baskin-Robbins. Lust is the creamer Coffee-mate has been trying to formulate for decades. I hope to throw you, headlong, into the hearts and souls and beds of people just like yourself - like me - who only want to partake of Passion - if only for a moment in Time. So, wake up your 'significant other', tune in to the local Classical or Oldies Hour and read out loud what you may have been holding inside all these years. Go ahead, light the fire! Celebrate your passion and lust!

The Quiet Side of Passion by Alexander McCall Smith Pdf

From the bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith, the 12th book about Isabel Dalhousie--philosopher, moral sleuth, mother, wife--in which Isabel is called upon to help when a paternity question presents more than meets the eye. Isabel finds herself befriended by Patricia, a single mother whose son, Basil, goes to school with Isabel's son. Isabel discovers that Basil is the product of an affair Patricia had with a well-known Edinburgh organist, also named Basil, who was, rumor has it, initially reluctant to contribute financially to the child's upkeep. Though Isabel doesn't really like Patricia, she tries to be civil and supportive, but when she sees Patricia in the company of an unscrupulous man who may be a wanted criminal, her suspicions are aroused and she begins to investigate the paternity of Basil Jr. When Isabel takes her suspicions to Basil Sr., she finds that, although he is paying child support and wishes he could have more of a relationship with Basil Jr., Patricia has no interest in Basil Sr. taking a more hands-on role in Basil Jr.'s parenting, even as she continues to accept his financial support. Should Isabel help someone who doesn't want to be helped? As Isabel navigates this ethically-complex situation, she is also dealing with her niece, Cat, who has taken up with a brawny and opinionated tattoo shop clerk. Isabel considers herself open-minded, but has Cat pushed it too far this time? As ever, Isabel must use her kindness and keen intelligence to determine the right course of action. In this twelfth full-length installment of Isabel's story, McCall Smith gives his readers what we want--time inside the mind of one of fiction's most richly developed women detectives, a visit to Edinburgh, and a twisting and tangled mystery about what responsibility humans owe to each other.

Natural-Born Soulmates by Lauren Thibodeau Pdf

Soulmates. The concept is an ancient one that still captures the imagination, tugging at the deepest core of who we are. Who doesn't want a soulmate—or two or three? Soulmates nudge us away from the illusion that we're only human and remind us that we're spirits first! They help us become our best selves. They are catalysts, enhancers for our spiritual growth. And we all have more than one. Soulmates may love us, but they also confuse us, confound us, irritate us, disappoint us—and often bring us indescribable joy and delight in living. Just by being in our lives, reminding us of the power of soul-to-soul connection, soulmates help us transform from humans with occasional spiritual connections to spiritual beings aware of the importance of human connections, human bodies, human lives. In Natural-Born Soulmates, Dr. Lauren Thibodeau destroys what she calls "the soulmate myth," made famous by the line "you complete me" from the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire. Through a series of simple self assessments she developed, Dr. Lauren Thibodeau then teaches us to access our inner wisdom, to discern what "vibe" we're sending out, and to determine what level of connection we're experiencing in any given soulmate relationship. There are soulmates out there to whom we can honestly say, "You enhance me," which is exactly what soul-to-soul connections do: make us better than we were before. This groundbreaking book will help readers to: Recognize their soulmates—past, present, and future. Attract new soulmates—romantic ones included. Improve relationships with existing soulmates. Learn from their soulmate relationships so they don't need to repeat the experience. For anyone ready to find their true soulmate, this powerful book is an important and necessary guide.

To celebrate the publication's run, MoMI has published this special anniversary anthology, which collects central pieces from the journal’s beginnings up through the latest releases. Broken into four chronological movements, this volume captures not only the films and filmmakers that Reverse Shot’s writers have championed and wrestled over but also tells a story of cinema’s progress and change over the first two decades of the 21st century. More than just for the many longtime readers of Reverse Shot, this collection is an essential reference for the past, present, and future of the moving image and a gift for anyone who cares about films and serious writings about them. “This New York-based publication has remained not only a beacon for quality film writing but also, in so many cases, the domain for the internet’s best piece on a given film. ... Digging into the earliest writings here affirms a site quickly setting an Olympian standard for online movie analysis, pole-vaulting even over many esteemed print publications with less space to play with on the page ... Any one essay gives you a taste of the levels of insight routinely put to bear by its shifting stable of contributors, including Nick Pinkerton, Genevieve Yue, Eric Hynes and Devika Girish.” —Sight & Sound magazine, March 2024
